00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,239

16
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,799
if you can see, but I
have new glasses on. Yeah, I

17
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,159
can't because they're not just straight black. Then there's a little little in lay

18
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:13,560
there. I see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have right

19
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:16,439
here, I have I got.
I got glasses when I was. These

20
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:21,000
are h I got different glasses for
when I was when I was looking at

21
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,080
my my glass cases a little car
like I'm twelve. That that does feel

22
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,319
very twelve. That feels I mean, I'm surprised there's not a logo there.

23
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:36,759
Held on, hold on, wait, hold on, I'm gonna I'm

24
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:46,639
too my head until I put my
glasses on, I go. Um,

25
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,439
No, I had a I had
a mishap of my black ones. I

26
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,000
was at uh. I was at
Handles ice cream. I don't know if

27
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,560
you know Handles. I've never heard
of it. Not not not not a

28
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,319
pain sponsor. But if they want
to if they want to please, that's

29
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,840
like that's what everyone says on every
podcast ever ever. Oh yeah, hidden

30
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,479
bro, Yeah, I know they're
not a paid sponsor because you're just talking

31
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,039
about it. I didn't make a
read that you heard before the show started,

32
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,039
because I didn't stop everything and just
start talking about it. But anyway,

33
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,400
I was at Handles ice cream and
I was I was licking the cone,

34
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,360
right, I was looking the ice
cream and I accidentally put my whole

35
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:38,319
face in the ice I got ice
cream all over my black glasses and they

36
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,800
didn't really it didn't really come.
It was like a sticky because I couldn't

37
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:46,120
because then I had to go.
I had to go to Whole Foods because

38
00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:47,599
it was we were we were out
right, and I had to go to

39
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,719
home. I sound like I sound
like Norm McDonald's. We had to go

40
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,159
to the hole. We had to
go to Whole Foods, right, because

41
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:58,080
they were all sticky, and uh, I go to Whole Foods to get

42
00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:01,560
water and it's like three dollars to
get water to clean off my glasses.

43
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,000
But then but then I couldn't really
because all I had was late the eyeglass

44
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:11,039
case, the cleaner that was in
my my car case and all I had

45
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:15,240
was that, and and then it
was got it got sticky. So anyway,

46
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,160
my glasses are super sticky, so
I had to put on my backup.

47
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:24,480
Was this today like or is this
like a week ago? We haven't

48
00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:30,920
remedied the situation yet. This was
Saturday, so yeah, we're going on

49
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,240
three days. I haven't remedied the
situation yet. No, because right now

50
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,319
Coogs is in Palm Springs and I'm
in La. We're doing a trials.

51
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:46,439
No you're not. That's a joke. No, she's got she's doing some

52
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,680
stuff. She's taking care of family
business, and I'm in I'm in La

53
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,959
and we have construction going on in
the house. Anyway, long story short

54
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:03,000
is, she would have cleaned my
glasses properly. But she's in. She's

55
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:09,839
child. I have a child with
the eye glass case that is a car.

56
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,680
We're children with responsibilities Gray. That
is, we literally talk about a

57
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,360
game like your your whole job is
a game. I was like, you

58
00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:24,120
know what, and the coops were
to say anything to me, I'd be

59
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:28,959
like, hey, when you're burying
me, I was running a fantasy baseball

60
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,600
website. Why did you expect,
dude, like this is on you.

61
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:40,560
I'm sorry, but it's on you. The signs were there. Yeah anyway,

62
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,600
yeah, so um there there you
go. That's why I'm wearing different

63
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,079
glasses as a single man. If
for the like three women who might be

64
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,720
listening to this podcast, I'm better
than that. Just just letting you know,

65
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:58,480
I'm better than that. This very
low bar that Grass said, I'm

66
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,319
above it. Somewhere you're you're you're
above the bar that's labeled can clean your

67
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:11,600
own glasses. You're above that bar. I am that that bar in particular,

68
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:15,480
I got like it's like it's a
bar that is basically right. It's

69
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,639
it's right above an ant hill somewhere
barely off the grounds, that little crack

70
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:28,920
that you trip over, you know, on the sidewalk exactly. Anyway,

71
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,439
Yeah, speaking of I don't know
how to transition. Now, I'm gonna

72
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,720
try and transition. Transition this somehow
great, but like I got it,

73
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:41,079
I'm in LA and u Joe,
Hey, Latani kind of plays in LA.

74
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:45,519
So so there's there's that part.
But can we just can we just

75
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,199
give him the MVP after the week
he had this week? I mean he

76
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,759
had six own runs, he had
four thirty five, he had a stolen

77
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:56,680
base, just just for fun,
through six innings of two earned run ball

78
00:06:56,759 --> 00:07:01,240
versus the top scoring offense in baseball. Give him the MVP. And how

79
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:09,399
do the Angels not make the playoffs
with the greatest baseball player that like has

80
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:15,279
ever put up seasons? What is
going on? Yeah? Um, okay,

81
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,920
so I knew this was so.
I knew this was coming because you

82
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:21,639
know, we have an outline.
First ever to do outline. Yeah,

83
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,959
because you're the you're our first Razball
podcast host. After eight years, we

84
00:07:27,079 --> 00:07:30,959
finally have an outline. So I'm
not completely rough in here. I'm not

85
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:36,240
taking I'm not taking numbers off of
the top of the head. I actually

86
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:41,519
I have stuff that I was able
to research, so I looked at this.

87
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:46,319
So this is kind of interesting.
I totally agree with you that Otani

88
00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:51,000
is headed for an MVP season and
he had an incredible week. This is

89
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,000
not to take anything away from home, but I just wanted to point out,

90
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:58,560
and this is kind of water under
the bridge at this point, but

91
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:03,800
I wanted to point out that Otani's
last seven days it was actually eight days

92
00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:11,120
technically because they played I guess they
played eight days anyway, in the last

93
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,199
seven day play Raider, but it's
actually eight days, you know, bringing

94
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:20,560
that take that up with Rudy,
I don't know. But anyway, the

95
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,920
last seven days that Otani's played,
um, he had fifty three dollars and

96
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,000
fifty cents worth of value on the
seven day the seven day Player Raider,

97
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:39,120
and it's eight days. You don't
know what I'm saying. It's eight days.

98
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,240
It's eight games, but it's seven
days anyway, So he had Yeah,

99
00:08:45,279 --> 00:08:48,720
so he had fifty three fifty is
what I said. Yeah, Okay,

100
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:52,279
last year, last year, Aaron
Judge, over the course of the

101
00:08:52,320 --> 00:09:00,320
whole season had sixty two dollars and
ninety cents worth of value. So not

102
00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:03,799
saying that Otani didn't have a great
week, but it just shows you how

103
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:11,200
insane Aaron Judge's year was last year. Like that's like, that's crazy,

104
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:16,200
Like that's I know, it's like
it's way past the point of talking about

105
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,200
Aaron Judge last year, but it's
really insane because if you think about it,

106
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,639
like because right now, on the
top of your head, uh is

107
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,519
your hair? No, on the
top of your mind is what Otani just

108
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,320
did the previous week, how good
he was this previous week, and it

109
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,360
was still a little bit less of
what Aaron Judge did last year. I

110
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,600
mean, it's really kind of crazy. Anyway. That was a long way

111
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:45,320
of saying Judge had a great year
last year, which is not new news.

112
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,159
Yes, yes, not new news, but yeah, I mean Otani

113
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:54,279
Tanny's like I mean, I'm saying, like I said on the website,

114
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,559
U the website like I don't know
what the name of it is. I

115
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,360
said in Rosball the other day,
Um, when he when he got the

116
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:07,039
win and he also hit a home
run, it was like, I mean,

117
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,240
I think Otani is like the best
player ever. I mean, I

118
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:18,960
know it's like it's a bit hyperbole, but you just I mean he's leading,

119
00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:26,559
like he's leading the league in homer's
and he's also a top ten pitcher.

120
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:33,279
That's insane, Like that's that's nuts
like that it really is. I

121
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,159
mean it's like you run out of
things to say, like oh and the

122
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:43,399
Otani um fifty three fifty number was
that was just his hitting number. That's

123
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,320
not including his pitching number. So
he was actually, you know last week

124
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,240
if you combine his hitting and his
pitching. But you know, you can't

125
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:56,399
do that really, like I know
some leagues you have daily leagues where you

126
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,720
can like get most of his hitting. You're still losing some hitting. But

127
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,200
you know, with all that said, he's still I think the best player

128
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,480
ever. It need to be hard. I mean, I know it's like

129
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:16,480
recency bias is probably playing into this, but I mean, who else is

130
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:22,840
anything remotely like this? I mean
pound for pound, like you know,

131
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,039
leadoff hitter wise, we've had better
leadoff hitters, we've had better power hitters,

132
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:33,039
we've had better fielders, we've had
better runners, but just as one

133
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,320
player, we've had better pitchers.
But just as one player, one guy

134
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:43,480
doing all of this, it's so
insane, Like it doesn't make sense.

135
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:48,440
It really doesn't. No, it
doesn't. And like he could go play

136
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,000
almost Gold Glove caliber defense in the
outfield if he wanted to, but the

137
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,440
Angels won't won't do that to him. I mean, there's no reason for

138
00:11:56,519 --> 00:12:01,799
him to do it. But held
like, I have no doubt in my

139
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,600
mind he would be a great outfielder, and that would just add to it.

140
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,200
That's about the only thing that you
could even say against him. And

141
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:11,200
to that, I say, well, yeah, but he takes the baut

142
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,440
In every fifth day, so suck
it, like yeah, yeah, suck

143
00:12:16,519 --> 00:12:20,360
it. Yeah, man, suck
it. That's a yeah, that's there.

144
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,159
You go. There you have our
tightenough for this week. Suck it.

145
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,919
Um Yeah. No, I mean, I think, honestly, I

146
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,639
think with Otani, like if you
look at his like just his like just

147
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:37,559
as a a a like one in
bat, just looking at him like and

148
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,320
just like down to the like the
just the going microscopic on him, game

149
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:48,759
my opic to bringing this back to
eyeglasses, getting my opic on like what

150
00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:50,440
he's able to do. If you
just look at one in bat, the

151
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,600
way he's able to hit the ball
four hundred and fifty feet the opposite way,

152
00:12:54,799 --> 00:13:00,639
it's like this is not normal all. Like you just watch him and

153
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,200
you're like, like you see Aaron
Judge and you're like, well, yeah,

154
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:09,120
I mean he's what six six seven, two hundred and seventy five pounds

155
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,600
of muscle. Yeah, I mean
I'm expecting him to be able to hit

156
00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:18,320
the ball hard. But Otani's like
it looks like he's barely trying, and

157
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:22,200
he hits the ball the opposite way
four hundred and fifty feet and You're like,

158
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:28,759
whoa bro, what even man?
It should not be possible what he's

159
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:33,559
able to do? Like it really, I don't know. It's just like

160
00:13:33,639 --> 00:13:39,080
he's like made in a lab that
has been able to like perfect a situation

161
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,000
where it's like he's able to hit
and pitch in such a way that's like

162
00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:48,720
so good, it's so good.
Oh my god. I mean and I

163
00:13:48,759 --> 00:13:54,320
honestly like this week because I don't
have him in one league, you know,

164
00:13:54,399 --> 00:13:56,759
bringing this back to fantasy and bringing
this back to my teams, because

165
00:13:56,799 --> 00:14:01,720
you know, why else are we
doing this? But yeah, I mean

166
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:05,159
I had him. I have him
in one league. It's a weekly league,

167
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,480
so I either am getting him for
his as a hitter or as a

168
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:13,840
pitcher, which you know, I
think that reduces his value a little bit.

169
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:18,399
But as a hitter this week I
had, I had him hitting because

170
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,759
he had you know, the one
one matchup pitching wise, which was in

171
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,080
Texas, which isn't even a great
matchup. But I mean he's still pitched

172
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,399
well, like I said earlier.
But I mean, thank god I had

173
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,559
him hitting. Otherwise I don't know
if I would have made this podcast,

174
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,799
if I would have won, if
I would have missed that week, Oh

175
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:45,120
man, I would have Yeah,
I might have had to cancel. Oh

176
00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:50,080
thank god, thank god. Yeah, he's been amazing. I was actually

177
00:14:50,159 --> 00:14:54,919
looking in the in the Memorial magazine
league that you I don't know if you're

178
00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:56,440
in that one this year, but
you've been in it with with me,

179
00:14:56,519 --> 00:15:01,279
with all the like CBS guys and
everything. You know, I need I

180
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,919
need home runs, And I was
looking at Otani and I'm like, I

181
00:15:03,919 --> 00:15:07,399
don't even know what I could put
together. They would they would get oh

182
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:11,600
Tanny and would did. I wouldn't
feel like, you know, kind of

183
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:16,240
a you know, a jerk for
offering and come in and undervalue because he's

184
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,159
he's worth so much. And especially
in the daily league. This one's not

185
00:15:20,279 --> 00:15:26,639
daily, it's weekly. But even
then, like it's it's ridiculous and thank

186
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:28,519
yes, thank goodness you had him
in your lineup, Gray, I uh,

187
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,240
we wouldn't have heard the end of
it ever, So for everybody,

188
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:37,440
really we really wanted them for everybody's
sake, we're happy you did it.

189
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:41,799
Gray. Yeah, it's true,
man, I would have been talking about

190
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,639
that for years, so it would
be an every article, like for forever

191
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,360
forever. Ever, like you mentioned
Otani, they would just you just copy

192
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,039
paste it. You would. You
wouldn't even write it anymore, it would

193
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,559
copy paste. It would be a
paragraph just complaining about the week that you

194
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,960
missed. Be like I missed a
quarter of his value for the season in

195
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:11,000
a week. Yes, true,
it's true. You know what I can't

196
00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:15,919
lie that is it does exactly what
happened. All right, Let's let's move

197
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,759
on to another thing that we're excited
about. And that is the Luis Matos

198
00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:25,679
call up from San Francisco. And
by the way, is this some weirdly

199
00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:30,200
like the most commonly used name of
a baseball player. There's like five Luis

200
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:37,039
Matos in baseball history somehow, is
there? I yeah, I'm blanking though,

201
00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:41,279
Is there? Really? They all
didn't like only two made the majors.

202
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,480
This is this being one of them, but there were three through the

203
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:48,039
miners as well, So like randomly
there, don't you know what would be

204
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,519
you know, you know, it
would be super random if it was like

205
00:16:53,279 --> 00:17:00,840
Rodan or Door and they were all
brothers, that would be super weird.

206
00:17:00,879 --> 00:17:06,400
Wouldn't like who would do that?
Why would somebody do that inside their own

207
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,039
household? But so this year in
Triple A, in twenty four games,

208
00:17:11,039 --> 00:17:15,680
Matos has seven on the runs,
six stone bases, twenty one, twenty

209
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,319
on the on the runs and RBIs
he's hit in three ninety eight, four

210
00:17:18,559 --> 00:17:22,920
thirty five, six eighty five is
a seven percent k rate and a six

211
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,440
percent walk. Great because he's just
he's hitting everything, So why would you

212
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,720
walk if you just hit it?
So far he has four games up,

213
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:33,279
he's hitting three thirty nine or three
thirty three five, twenty nine, four

214
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,559
seventeen. He is a Stotlin base
seven runs, hitting out of the six

215
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,799
or eight spot already. Somehow David
VR was activated at the same time,

216
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:49,079
but for now it looks like Matos
is playing in vrs is bench where you

217
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,119
had on Matos every add in every
league. Yeah, yeah, no,

218
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:59,079
I think, yeah, I think
so. I I wasn't able to add

219
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,519
him in every league because you know, some leagues are fab leagues, and

220
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:06,000
well, you know, I just
didn't. I didn't. I didn't be

221
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,960
Yeah, I didn't been enough in
uh in some leagues. I'll uh oh,

222
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:14,720
Actually, let me look at what
he went for in my leagues.

223
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:21,079
This is this is interesting for for
people hearing me type, you know,

224
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:25,759
you know, it's really in my
league he went for forty six dollars out

225
00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:30,440
of and this is one thousand dollars
budget. But everybody, you spent a

226
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,799
lot of money and all of us
are running low. So yeah, in

227
00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:36,440
one league, actually in one league
of mine, he went for like four

228
00:18:36,519 --> 00:18:41,200
hundred dollars. But that was NL
only um and crazy enough, that was

229
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,160
out of a hundred dollars. No, that was that was out of a

230
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,720
thousand obviously, But yeah, yeah. I mean he went for four hundred,

231
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:52,839
so that's a lot. Yeah,
yeah, I mean, and you

232
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,039
know, it kind of depends on
what you need. Um. Anyway,

233
00:18:56,079 --> 00:19:00,240
I was able while you were talking. I was able to bring up what

234
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,319
he went for in my leagues.
So he went for forty eight dollars in

235
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,359
one of my leagues, that's actually
a pretty good price. Running up was

236
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:14,039
twenty seven US out of a thousand, obviously. Uh. And in my

237
00:19:14,079 --> 00:19:21,759
other league he went four let's see
more one seventeen. Uh. Running up

238
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:26,559
was thirty five though, so that
that person could have he could have been

239
00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:29,359
a little bit less. But you
know what, you have no idea.

240
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,279
If you need a guy, you
need a guy. Yeah, I don't

241
00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:36,079
remember what I've been on him,
but i'd been you know, i'd probably

242
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,480
been like roughly around forty dollars in
both of those leagues. Um, I

243
00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:45,079
don't have that much money to be
bidding. So you know, again,

244
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:52,119
it's like it depends on a team
situation. I think he's totally worth rostering

245
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,759
though in all leagues, Like he
looks like he has good power and speed

246
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,799
and actually a good hit tool.
Um, you know, like in t

247
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,519
Plea that he had it was only
twenty four games, but then he had

248
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:10,200
under seven percent strikeout rate. That's
you know, we've been doing this a

249
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:15,240
while. I don't remember hearing about
an under seven percent strikeout rate from a

250
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:19,000
guy in in Triple A who was
only twenty one years old. Yeah.

251
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,640
Yeah, like that feels like like
I don't obviously I don't know off the

252
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:30,240
top of my head, but that's
gotta be just about as a lad as

253
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,400
you're gonna find for a strikeout rate
on a twenty one year old I don't.

254
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,160
I don't know. Maybe maybe I'm
wrong, but it sounds it sounds

255
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:42,799
elite. Uh yeah. And also
just the fact that he had like in

256
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:48,039
Double A, this is but he
had a higher walk rate than strikeout rate,

257
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,839
Like wow, like he's really like
that's super talented, Like I wouldn't

258
00:20:52,839 --> 00:20:57,319
be It wouldn't be totally shocking for
him to have like a three eighty or

259
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,720
above i'm base percentage as a rookie, which is like, you know,

260
00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:07,759
that's nuts. Um, I you
know, I could see him potentially because

261
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:14,519
he's like, you know, unlike
like a Rise or some of other guys

262
00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:19,519
who are or like or some other
hitters who are you know, strictly average

263
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:25,599
guys. Matos could actually hit for
average, and he has power and speed,

264
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:33,599
not elite power. You know,
he's like maybe a seven to twelve

265
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,400
homer guy at least this year,
you know, maybe even less, maybe

266
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:44,799
five to seven homers this year in
the majors. Maybe next year with a

267
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,079
full season, maybe we're looking at
like twelve homers. And he has better

268
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:55,160
He has better speed than that,
like probably fifteen to twenty steel speed.

269
00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,240
But with you know, with the
average, it's better than like say,

270
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,000
you know a guy who comes to
mind, like a Stephen Kuan is like,

271
00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:07,000
you know, a low power,
some speed, good average guy.

272
00:22:07,319 --> 00:22:11,519
But I think Matos is probably gonna
be above him next year, So does

273
00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:15,720
that make him above him this year? You know, It's like it depends

274
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:21,039
on how the Giants play it because
like I saw, you know, just

275
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,519
randomly, I saw in the in
the lineup because I was looking for fab

276
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:26,200
I was looking to see where guys
were batting in the lineup. So I

277
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,319
saw Matos. I think was hitting
in the bottom of the lineup yesterday,

278
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:36,440
yesterday being Sunday, when his first
game up though he hit third. He's

279
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,440
more or less like he should be
hitting leadoff. I think, you know,

280
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:45,640
at worse he's hitting second. It
depends on what they want to do

281
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,200
with Estrada. Estrata has been hitting
third though, so yeah, I mean

282
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:56,519
I think, you know, anyway, Mattos next year probably above where you

283
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,880
took Quan this year. For this
year, I think he's roster bowl in

284
00:23:02,039 --> 00:23:04,160
every league. I mean he you
know, with rookies, you never know,

285
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:11,160
but he could easily put together from
this point forward better season than Quan,

286
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:14,079
you know, And that's you know, and I keep saying Quam because

287
00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:17,400
that's sort of like that's how I
see him basically, like you know,

288
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:23,319
oh like pretty iffy on power,
but nice speed and good average. Yeah,

289
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,279
I mean, Stephen, Quan's the
rare one where like he came up

290
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:33,519
and stole more bases than he had
ever stolen in the minors. And why

291
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:36,599
that is, I'm not sure,
but he was. He was also you

292
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,559
know, kind of fast tracked through
that through the organization as well. Matos

293
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,519
is very much the same. And
you mentioned the strikeout rate in Triple A

294
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,200
over twenty six games, so just
a couple more than Matos. He had

295
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,240
a six point seven percent k rate, Steve, that's Stephen quand so there's

296
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:59,359
there's another connection that that that's seven
percent k rate or lower. He had

297
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,359
five home run and two stolen bases
to Matos's seven and six, so you

298
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,920
know, there is a little bit
something to be said about that, although

299
00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:11,000
no Matos started there, actually they
both started a double I So yeah,

300
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:15,079
I mean, that's that's about as
even as you're gonna get as far as

301
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,160
production other than Matos being kind of
in the PCL on that That'd always been

302
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,279
a nice place to go for hitters, right, Yeah, So that's why

303
00:24:22,319 --> 00:24:27,680
even maybe I'm over estimating Matos's power
a little bit because of where he was

304
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,359
playing in Triple A, he did
have some nice power there, but yeah,

305
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,960
because I know when he got called
up, I believe he had hit

306
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,480
six homers in six straight games.
Yeah, that'll do it. Yeah,

307
00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:45,359
So you know, and that's PCL
though, So I mean he might not

308
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:48,839
hit six homers for the rest of
the year in the majors, you know.

309
00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:55,000
San Francisco is not a great part
for power necessarily. So yeah,

310
00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:59,279
I mean, but still, like
I said, totally rosterable in every league.

311
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,240
Yeah, before anybody starts yelling at
there, you know, listening device,

312
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:06,200
it was six homers in six games. He had two homers in one

313
00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,000
game, so it wasn't a streak, but that's that's how it happened.

314
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,799
He had six and six games prior
to getting called up. He's hitting the

315
00:25:12,799 --> 00:25:15,880
ball well and he doesn't strike out. I mean, that's that's a good

316
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:21,599
combination for a pickup m Yeah.

indeed might Shehan got called up for
the Dodgers and ten starts twelve appearances this

332
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,279
year over fifty three innings. He
has a one eight sixty r A,

333
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:36,880
a zero point eight eight whip,
forty two percent k rate, and an

334
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,160
eleven percent walk rate in the minors. He has a ninety six millar fastball

335
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:45,400
change up as nice slight. He
has a slider that's okay. First start,

336
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,200
he went six innings nowhere in three
k's, two walks, and they've

337
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,359
already said he's going to get at
least one more. Start with Arius and

338
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,799
center Card both on the io where
yeah, uh, you know M and

339
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:03,920
she and another guy who I was
pursuing heavily and I didn't end up getting

340
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:10,759
him anywhere. Actually I did get
him in our RCL league, but I've

341
00:27:10,839 --> 00:27:15,599
dropped him since that's a twelve team
mix league. Uh, and you know

342
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:21,480
I have her. I have uh
the braves ass already so um A J.

343
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,119
Smith Chauvr. So the fact that
you know, I just didn't want

344
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,880
to keep uh Chauvr and she in. Anyway, that's my own that's my

345
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,359
own situation. I did pursue him
in every league though she in. That

346
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,680
is I pursued. I pursued Chauvr
too, But that's beside the point.

347
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:48,200
M Emma schauver m and she and
I think looked better on paper than he

348
00:27:48,319 --> 00:27:51,400
ended up looking in the game.
To be honest, I thought he looked

349
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,440
good. I actually I watched this
game. I watched a good I probably

350
00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:00,400
watched like seventy five percent of it. I thought he looked very poised for

351
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:04,640
a first start, but he didn't
really know where the ball was going,

352
00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:11,000
Like his command is kind of wonky. I don't know, Like it depends

353
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:15,680
on like if he's able to get
in front of like hitters, if he's

354
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:21,319
able to get up in counts that
may not play as hard as it was

355
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,200
occasionally in the miners, like in
the miners here at three point nine walk

356
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,960
per nine, if he has above
that in majors, which you would think

357
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,880
a guy who has like an almost
four walk per nine in the miners in

358
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:41,119
double A. You would think that
would you know, translate to the majors

359
00:28:41,119 --> 00:28:45,279
and become like a four and a
half or worse walk per nine, And

360
00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:49,920
if that happens, he's gonna be
unusable. So I and I honestly was

361
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,400
watching. When I watched him,
I was like, I thought he looked

362
00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:59,200
good, Like he definitely he was
able to strike out some hitters, so

363
00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:02,720
you know, don't take this the
wrong way. Like he looked like he

364
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:07,640
had decent stuff, but it was
the Giants, and he didn't strike out

365
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,160
a ton of hitters either, And
he and he really looked wild, like

366
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,039
the ball like it would come out
of his hand on counts. Like you

367
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:18,880
know, what really shows me when
a guy is like in a two oho

368
00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:25,440
or or a one oh count and
he throws the ball so wild that the

369
00:29:25,559 --> 00:29:29,200
hitter would never swing at it.
It's like, you don't you don't want

370
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,680
to fall behind two or three oh, Like it's you know, it's a

371
00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:36,559
kind of a telltale sign when a
guy is, you know, looking in

372
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,079
an account where he should be throwing
a strike and the ball is just over

373
00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:45,240
even over the catcher's head. Even
at times like it was just he didn't

374
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,240
He didn't look like he could really
command his pitches, and that's how his

375
00:29:48,319 --> 00:29:52,359
minor league numbers also back that up, Like you know, So it wasn't

376
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,680
nerves necessarily. I think I think
it is who he is right now,

377
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:03,519
and that can backfire real fast.
So while I did go out and pursue

378
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,599
him, I didn't. I didn't
bid very high, so I obviously I

379
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:11,799
didn't get him in any league,
So I didn't like I you know,

380
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,559
I went like in the thirty to
forty range out of a thousand on fab

381
00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:18,960
and I didn't get him. Other
people, other people been much more than

382
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,319
me. He looked good, he
looked like he could be great, but

383
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,680
he also looked like he can be
a disaster at a time. So I

384
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,839
would just be careful. Like I
said, I've already dropped him in a

385
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:36,680
twelve team mix league because I just
don't need the headache of having another rookie

386
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,240
pitcher I have, you know,
like honestly, between him and Chauver,

387
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,559
since I mentioned it, I would
go Chauver, but I think she and

388
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,039
could be potentially as good. It
just depends on whether or not he can

389
00:30:49,119 --> 00:30:53,079
locate yeah, I would. I
would tend to agree with everything you have

390
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,559
to say. And he's he only
has one more start guaranteed. Whereas you

391
00:30:57,599 --> 00:31:02,400
know, it seems like Jobber is
going to be in the rotation unless he

392
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,000
kind of collapses and then they'll little
a cycle whoever they feel like the next

393
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,720
guy in. But it feels like
his spot is at least more secure than

394
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:17,480
than Jan's right now, because there's
a various is definitely coming back at some

395
00:31:17,519 --> 00:31:21,880
point. He's gonna take a rotation
spot, Syndergarden. You know, I

396
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,640
don't know if he necessarily deserves a
rotation spot or if you'll get one,

397
00:31:25,759 --> 00:31:30,799
but you know he's coming back as
well. Yeah, and for what it's

398
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:33,640
worth again, like it depends on
you know, the leagues or whatever.

399
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:38,400
But in my fab leagues where he
went, he went for more than matos,

400
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,039
which you know in in at least
the fifteen team mixed leagues, he

401
00:31:42,079 --> 00:31:47,759
went for sixty nine in one league, and he went for one hundred and

402
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:52,119
twenty one in another league. Um, so you know I like him.

403
00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:57,960
Actually, actually I did get him
in one of those leagues. At how

404
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,559
many leagues I have I forgot?
I got him? Okay, So yeah,

405
00:32:01,599 --> 00:32:06,359
I mean I like him. I
got it. Obviously, I bid

406
00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:08,359
enough to get him in one league, so I do like him. Um,

407
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:15,359
but I worry that he could explode. Also in the league where I

408
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,160
got him, my pitching is such
a mess that you know, it was

409
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:24,119
like it sometimes you gotta take upside
gambles in certain leagues. So yeah,

410
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:29,319
but I do. I do like
him. I just think the command is

411
00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:32,920
was really not very pretty as what
I saw at least of the command.

412
00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:37,319
Now it was only one start.
Maybe there was nerves, it didn't seem

413
00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:43,240
like nerves. It really didn't like
it seemed like he just wasn't um you

414
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,119
know what, you would call it, uh locating and in my uh and

415
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,000
for what it's worth, in my
NL only league, he went for three

416
00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:53,519
hundred hours, so you know,
so he went for a little bit less

417
00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:59,279
than Mato's in that league. But
and that's obviously out of a thousand.

418
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:06,079
So anyway, long story short is, I would be worried in in shallower

419
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,400
leagues. I would be a little
bit more hesitant. In the deep,

420
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,559
the deeper tole league. It's like
sometimes you gotta take camp. Just grab

421
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,799
him, Yeah, you just grab
him and see what happens. Would you

422
00:33:15,839 --> 00:33:21,039
start him? It looks like he's
lined up for Houston at home? Would

423
00:33:21,079 --> 00:33:23,319
you would you start him there?
Yeah, it's not it's not safe,

424
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:28,440
but I would in like fifteen team
mix leagues, I would start him there.

425
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,400
Um. In twelve team mix,
yeah, I probably wouldn't in a

426
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,480
twelve team mix, not in a
ten team mix. That's too shallow for

427
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:39,079
him. Yeah, I think that's
that's appropriate. And if you're in it

428
00:33:39,319 --> 00:33:42,559
depends on again, what you're looking
for it. If you're kind of set

429
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:45,960
in pitching, I wouldn't really take
the risk and face that blow up.

430
00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:52,160
But yeah, numbers you know in
my uh in the RCL league where I

431
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,119
dropped him, Like, I don't
know if I have the best pitching,

432
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,039
but I have probably closed for the
best pitching, and I just don't need

433
00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:02,480
it like I have. I have
so many good arms at least right now,

434
00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:06,559
you know, you know, knock
on wood, but I don't need

435
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,639
it, So I didn't. I
didn't want to. I didn't want to

436
00:34:07,719 --> 00:34:12,880
risk it. Yeah, you are
currently third in an RCL in pitching,

437
00:34:13,039 --> 00:34:19,800
so you're you're sitting pretty pretty solid
in there. I'm I'm not, Oh,

438
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,599
you might want to try she and
then he may be getting added to

439
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:28,519
the roster. You know, it's
it's it's been a disappointing, disappointing season

440
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:30,639
on the pitching side over there,
but that's okay. We're moving on and

441
00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:36,000
actually it's getting better, like my
pitching is actually rounding into form. Anyways,

442
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:38,119
nobody cares about my team. Somebody
might care about your team, they

443
00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:42,440
don't. Finally don't care about mine. Um Bo bow Naylor was called up

444
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,920
by the Guardians. People care about
that. Sixty games in Triple A,

445
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,599
thirteen home runs, two stone bases, forty five forty eight. He's in

446
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:52,760
two fifty three, three ninety three, four ninety eight with a nineteen point

447
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,960
three percent k rate and an eighteen
percent walk rate. And to make it

448
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,800
official that he is, you know, the roster they have DFA Mike Znino.

449
00:35:04,159 --> 00:35:08,880
Yeah, about time. That was
that was such an obvious like service

450
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:15,199
time, uh manipulations. I mean
it was so obvious. It couldn't be

451
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:21,599
more obvious. Yeah, I mean, Zannino really and as soon as we

452
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:27,960
passed the Super two, it's like, oh yeah, zanin da oh imagine

453
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:35,079
that shocking anyway, So yeah,
Biler, you know, I think we

454
00:35:35,079 --> 00:35:37,840
were also gonna talk about Henry Davis. You want to just talk about Henry

455
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,199
Davis and Bono, let's talk about
the catchers. We we ain't catchers anyways,

456
00:35:40,199 --> 00:35:43,840
so don't even spend a bad time
so so, because I feel like

457
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,199
they're kind of gonna be, you
know, in most leagues, they're gonna

458
00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:50,039
it's gonna be. People are gonna
be looking at both of them and wondering

459
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:52,679
which one they prefer. And I
think, you know, like I was

460
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,639
saying, I think on the site, um, I think Henry Davis is

461
00:35:57,679 --> 00:36:02,320
probably uh just all right. So
here's my thoughts. They're both gonna do.

462
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:07,719
They're both projected for pretty similar things. Like they both have power.

463
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:13,000
They don't really have much speed.
They have like a good a decent hit

464
00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:16,639
tool, but they may not hit
for more than two forty or something this

465
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,280
year, because you know, catchers
just don't hit for very good averages.

466
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,280
But their hit tools are okay,
They're not like gonna hit for a good

467
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,880
average like say like an Adela Rushman
or something like. They have. Their

468
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:36,639
main attraction is the power. And
Henry Davis's power looks really amazing and Bone

469
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,639
Naylor's power looks great, like they
both look like they have really solid power.

470
00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:45,079
So my thought is Henry Davis has
been playing the field a lot in

471
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:51,599
the miners. He's looked proficient enough
in the outfield where I think the Pirates

472
00:36:52,079 --> 00:36:58,000
could actually play Henry Davis, you
know, a decent amount where not even

473
00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:00,679
behind the plate. They might even
like they could d h him. They

474
00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:04,480
could play him in the outfield.
You know, he might even get some

475
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,280
at bats at first or something like. Henry Davis could play other positions,

476
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:15,000
which is just gonna help him with
counting stats if nothing else. So I

477
00:37:15,039 --> 00:37:20,960
think I'm going Henry Davis over bonnail
Or for that reason and that reason alone,

478
00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:24,719
really because I think they're probably gonna
be both very similar. They're both

479
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,079
twenty three years old. They're gonna
be, you know, super similar in

480
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:35,480
projections. It's just Henry Davis could
potentially play just a bit more. So

481
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:40,800
I'm going Henry Davis. But that
honestly is just like you know, you're

482
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:45,599
flipping a coin basically with both of
them, like they both they both could

483
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:50,920
be terrible, they both could be
great. One could be good and one

484
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,960
could be bad. Like you don't
you don't know as a rookie like you

485
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:58,039
just don't know how it's gonna play
out. But for right now, right

486
00:37:58,119 --> 00:38:00,960
this second, I'm saying, Henry
Davis, Yeah, I agree, And

487
00:38:01,039 --> 00:38:06,360
I think Henry Davis is primarily going
to play in the outfield. I don't

488
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:12,320
think he's going to really have regular
catching duties. So I'm with you that,

489
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,280
I'm going Henry Davis. And on
top of the reasons you said,

490
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:20,079
there's more more plate appearances, it's
less wear and tear, but he doesn't

491
00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:23,599
have to learn the pitching staff,
at least thought to the amount that Boat

492
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:29,679
Naylor is going to need to learn
the pitching staff, And so that's just

493
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,480
a lot less time that he has
to spend away from the hitting side.

494
00:38:32,519 --> 00:38:37,639
Because that's why catchers are so random, is they just they don't get the

495
00:38:37,679 --> 00:38:44,119
same time hitting that than every other
hitter on the team does because they're out

496
00:38:44,119 --> 00:38:46,559
working with the pitchers. They have
to be in different meetings, like it's

497
00:38:46,679 --> 00:38:52,039
different for catchers. So I'm completely
with you that I'm going Henry Davis.

498
00:38:52,199 --> 00:38:55,599
It's about Al's the thing about just
like logically you think about them being in

499
00:38:55,639 --> 00:39:00,480
the dugout and a pitcher is like
you know, a picture wants to talk

500
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,159
to him about how they're gonna approach
the next inning. They're not looking at

501
00:39:04,199 --> 00:39:07,719
the picture and preparing for their at
bat. They're thinking about how to attack

502
00:39:08,039 --> 00:39:13,280
the other team's hitters, right,
you know. So it's just like,

503
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,599
yeah, it's like little things like
that that I think could potentially, you

504
00:39:16,639 --> 00:39:21,079
know, stop boonail Or from being
as good as Henry Davis for at least

505
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:23,840
this year. But you know,
it could work out either way. I

506
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:30,559
you know, in one league,
I actually did grab bonnail Or over I

507
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:37,679
finally cut bait on Alejandro Kirk because
that was a nightmare. Ye oh my

508
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:44,480
god, he's been so bad,
you know, like I really just like,

509
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,679
I mean, never again. Man. I don't even think he was.

510
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,760
He must not have been like that
high of a draft pick, because

511
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:57,199
I wouldn't have taken him if he
were, because I just don't believe in

512
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,800
drafting catchers high. But he I
don't think he was going for that cheap

513
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,119
either, So I don't know how
I ended up with them, I really

514
00:40:05,159 --> 00:40:08,000
know. I don't know. So
how I got him on my team.

515
00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:15,000
I must have looked at like the
war rooms value Excuse me, I must

516
00:40:15,039 --> 00:40:17,920
have looked at the war rooms values. And he must have went for less

517
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:22,480
than what it was saying he was
worth. So I just I bit on

518
00:40:22,559 --> 00:40:25,840
him and I got him. But
man, he's been awful. Yeah,

519
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,840
it's been awful. Yeah, oh
God, free, free for everybody.

520
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,920
I'm not spending more than five dollars
on the catcher in L ORL only,

521
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,679
so you can just pencil that in
for me. I'm not doing it.

522
00:40:37,679 --> 00:40:39,119
And one of them will be a
dollar. There will be one catcher that's

523
00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:43,800
a dollar. Yeah, yeah,
no, definitely, and that's yeah,

524
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:49,800
it's usually my angle. But I
guess he must have been like it must

525
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,039
have been, Yeah, it must
have been super low. Whereas like,

526
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,199
you know, like if someone's listed
on the war room for like say,

527
00:40:55,280 --> 00:41:00,440
I don't know, fifteen sixteen dollars
and it's at like I would I would

528
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:07,519
still be in the bidding at that
point. But obviously that backfired with Alejandro

529
00:41:07,679 --> 00:41:10,440
kirk Um. I don't know,
but I'm not you know, Henry Davis

530
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,920
though, it would be my my
go to, but he wasn't available yet

531
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:20,000
because he hadn't yet debuted. So
yeah, Henry Davis would be my preferred

532
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,320
one. Yeah, he'll be up
next week. I think in all the

533
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:28,199
NFBC leagues that he wasn't drafted in, So that'll be a bid for next

534
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:30,199
week. What are you putting in
if you're if you're looking for a catcher.

535
00:41:31,599 --> 00:41:37,280
Oh yeah, see I bo Now. I think it was like two

536
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:42,840
dollars out of that's out of one
hundred. Uh And I wouldn't bid more

537
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,360
than like twenty out of a thousand, like you know, in the in

538
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:54,519
the twelve to seventeen dollars range usually
for catchers, unless you're really desperate.

539
00:41:54,559 --> 00:42:00,840
I mean, if you've lost like
a catcher or something like if someone's hurt

540
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:05,840
and you've been like scrambling, like
I think in one league, you know,

541
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,320
I have Connor Wong. I don't
even know how I got. Oh

542
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:15,559
oh, I lost Logan o'hop.
So I've been kind of looking for a

543
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:21,760
catcher in that league. So maybe
i've been you know, fifteen to twenty

544
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,840
dollars. But yeah, I don't
really I mean, like you said,

545
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:29,519
you don't bid on them when you
know in the draft, I don't really

546
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,000
look that hard at like fab for
them either. It just happened to be

547
00:42:34,119 --> 00:42:37,679
that, you know, Alejandro Kirk
was so awful and it's a twelve team

548
00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:43,760
mixed league, and I really need
a better catcher a kirk. So I

549
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,599
was like, I've been two dollars
on Boone nows. It's like, yeah,

550
00:42:45,679 --> 00:42:49,280
what the hell is? See what
happens? Yeah, yeah, I

551
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,639
think I've probably spent up to thirty
maybe even forty if I just have fab

552
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,639
sitting around. I don't in any
of my leagues, But if I just

553
00:42:57,639 --> 00:43:00,519
hadn't sit around, I wouldn't mind
spending spending it on Davis again, just

554
00:43:00,559 --> 00:43:07,039
because I think he plays pretty regularly
if he hits, and so there's a

555
00:43:07,119 --> 00:43:10,840
chance that he just kind of played
appearances his way to a good season.

556
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,559
And oh yeah, and also right, and also I think I mentioned this

557
00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:20,840
on the site. But also it's, uh, we're saying that like with

558
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,159
Henry Davis and Bone Nailer, Like, well, I already mentioned that Bone

559
00:43:25,199 --> 00:43:30,000
Nailer was a service time thing.
Henry Davis is obviously a service time thing

560
00:43:30,039 --> 00:43:34,679
too. So I mean the fact
that they called them up the Guardians and

561
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,920
the Pirates aren't gonna like not play
them like they're gonna play. So like

562
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:44,440
as much as a catcher plays like
you're you know, like we're saying with

563
00:43:44,519 --> 00:43:47,440
Henry Davis, he could play more
because he can play the field. But

564
00:43:47,519 --> 00:43:52,960
like bone Nailer becomes you know,
the automatic, you know, number one

565
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,920
catcher there, and the Pirates will
play Henry Davis, so like a bats

566
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,119
won't be an issue, like they're
gonna play. Yeah, yeah, all

567
00:44:00,199 --> 00:44:05,440
right, another call up here.
Michael Bush was actually recalled by the Dodgers,

568
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,480
come back up. Munci is going
to the IL with a hamstring.

569
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:13,559
I don't know if he's necessarily gonna
play regularly, but he is coming back

570
00:44:13,679 --> 00:44:16,639
up as possible. Chris Taylor just
kind of has an everyday position for a

571
00:44:16,679 --> 00:44:21,119
little while. But in forty five
games in Triple A, he has seven

572
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:23,239
home runs, a stolen base thirty
nine, thirty eight, and he's had

573
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:29,719
hitting three thirteen, four, twenty
eight and five forty. Where's Michael Bush

574
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,119
on this? On the ad beater? Yeah, I mean I'm not adding

575
00:44:32,159 --> 00:44:37,039
him anywhere. I didn't even I
didn't even add him in the NL only.

576
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:39,480
I don't know. I mean,
he's fine. I like you said,

577
00:44:39,559 --> 00:44:44,480
I don't think he's gonna play,
so it's not really worth it to

578
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:49,079
add him in any leagues if he's
not playing, um, except for NL

579
00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:53,719
only, where I mean more than
likely he's already rostered in NL only I

580
00:44:54,199 --> 00:44:59,960
you know, I would probably look
at him as you know, the best

581
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,360
as case scenario I think for him, as the Dodgers make some sort of

582
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:09,079
move and trade him to a place
where he can actually play. So maybe

583
00:45:09,119 --> 00:45:15,320
in July his like outlook will look
better. But right now, I just

584
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:20,840
don't think he's gonna play. And
even and that's even with the month'sye injury,

585
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,320
he's not gonna play like whatever he
did to like the Dodgers. They've

586
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:30,320
really buried Mike Michael Bush. Like
he he looked like a you know,

587
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:36,800
a pretty interesting prospect at one point, and now he's like twenty five and

588
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,320
you know, not even a young
twe I mean, he's gonna turn twenty

589
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:45,159
six in a few months, well
in November, but still, I mean

590
00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:49,920
he's more than halfway through twenty five. Do people celebrate their half birthday?

591
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:54,239
I do. Anyway, Michael Bush
is like getting buried by the Dodgers.

592
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:59,519
I don't know, I don't get
why, but you know, hopefully he

593
00:45:59,559 --> 00:46:02,119
gets at it somewhere where he can
play. As of right now, I

594
00:46:02,119 --> 00:46:07,159
don't think he's worth anything in any
in any league really, except for maybe

595
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,519
n know, only where you're just
like totally strapped or something. Yeah,

596
00:46:10,599 --> 00:46:15,440
I if you if you need something, then yeah, and then only he's

597
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:20,960
always you can always use something.
I guess maybe the most obvious place he

598
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,440
could get playing time would be if
he platoons on which would be the strong

599
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:30,559
side, since he hits from the
left side and like Miguel Vargas isn't hitting

600
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:37,679
well, Chris Taylor is just like
the streakiest player in the world, also

601
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:44,199
injury prone. Yeah, Miguel Rojas
doesn't really need to ever swing a bat.

602
00:46:44,679 --> 00:46:49,960
Miguel Rojas made a deal with the
devil to get like every year and

603
00:46:50,079 --> 00:46:53,840
not do anything else, not actually
hit the ball. Yeah, it's kind

604
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:59,079
of a yeah it is. Yeah, Michael Bush is like the Joe Odell

605
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:05,480
of the opposite side of the city
is yeah, exactly, even if Anaheim

606
00:47:05,559 --> 00:47:07,320
was actually in Los Angeles, that
would make sense. Maybe they just need

607
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:12,159
to trade them, maybe, like
they'll just trade them across the city and

608
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,880
they can be benched by the opposite
side of the city. Yeah, no,

609
00:47:16,119 --> 00:47:23,039
completely, Yeah, I don't see
the Dodgers like could probably use an

610
00:47:23,199 --> 00:47:28,880
arm like they don't really well,
I'm not that you know, we're not

611
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,639
playing Dodger GM right now. So
anyway, long story short, as Michael

612
00:47:32,639 --> 00:47:36,960
Bush doesn't have any playing time,
all right, move on, all right.

613
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:38,760
So we should have talked about this
guy when we were talking about Bow

614
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:43,239
Naylor and Henry Davis. We won't
spend too much time on him, but

615
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,360
he was called up a couple of
weeks ago. We didn't really talk about

616
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:50,079
him because we don't really talk about
catchers generally speaking. But Patrick Bailey,

617
00:47:50,519 --> 00:47:54,239
since this is a catcher centric podcast, he has He's sitting three or four,

618
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,519
three thirty seven, five thirty two
with three home runs in twenty two

619
00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:05,119
games for the Pie. It's are
you where's Patrick Bailey on the Davis Naylor

620
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,679
Patrick Bailey? Is he at the
very bottom? Yeah? He's third.

621
00:48:10,039 --> 00:48:14,559
Also, I think we didn't talk
about him because I think we both figured

622
00:48:14,599 --> 00:48:19,480
that he was just going to be
a temporary replacement for Joey Bart and then

623
00:48:19,639 --> 00:48:22,679
I don't know whatever happened with Joey
Bart. He's not on the miners right

624
00:48:22,679 --> 00:48:27,679
now. Did he get demoted?
Yeah? Man, he is really flamed

625
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:35,119
out. Yeah, I mean I
Patrick Bailey to me looks like like right

626
00:48:35,119 --> 00:48:38,480
now he's hitting over three hundred,
but that's with an insane babbit. He

627
00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:42,960
doesn't walk at all. He strikes
out a decent amount, he doesn't have

628
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,480
any speed. He's got some power, but not really even like great power.

629
00:48:47,639 --> 00:48:54,760
I don't I feel like Patrick Bailey
is best case scenario a twelve homer,

630
00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:00,920
zero steel two thirty hitter. It's
you know, it's pretty bad.

631
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:06,079
That's not great. So I don't
know. I don't know how his glove

632
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,559
is, to be honest, but
you know that has nothing to do with

633
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:14,920
fantasy anyway, So you know,
I don't know. I don't know.

634
00:49:15,679 --> 00:49:20,960
I don't know if I'm really like
I think Patrick Bailey isn't even uh like

635
00:49:21,079 --> 00:49:29,360
he's not even necessarily on my radar
for like even outside of the Henry Davis

636
00:49:29,679 --> 00:49:36,880
um you know, bow Nail or
watch McCall, even outside their call ups.

637
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,639
Like if you were to take Patrick
Bailey and put him against like I

638
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:45,920
don't know, caber Ruise or something, and Patrick Bailey is still not on

639
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,280
the radar, like you know,
like if you were to go against like

640
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:54,559
guys who are actually playing but not
playing that well, I would still I

641
00:49:54,639 --> 00:50:00,119
still probably wouldn't pick Patrick Bailey.
But if you were to say, like

642
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:05,239
Patrick Bailey and uh, you know
an NL only league or like a fifteen

643
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,679
team mix league with two catchers and
you need you know, you need a

644
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:13,960
catcher and you're like looking at like
Patrick Bailey, I mentioned him earlier,

645
00:50:14,039 --> 00:50:19,119
like Connor Wong. It's like Patrick
Bailey or Connor Wong, that's kind of

646
00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:23,840
what like that would be a toss
up for me versus like like Henry Davis

647
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:28,199
and Bone all where I think are
actually kind of interesting, where Patrick Bailey

648
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,239
I don't think it's that interesting.
Yeah, I would tend to agree,

649
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:36,679
except that I'm I'm actually starting Patrick
Bailey and have been for the last two

650
00:50:36,679 --> 00:50:42,119
weeks. It's gone well actually these
last two weeks, so I'm not disappointed

651
00:50:42,199 --> 00:50:45,719
yet. But I am going to
be in on the bidding for Henry Davis

652
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:52,440
next week and I might swap him
out for Nick Fotas if if this has

653
00:50:52,519 --> 00:50:55,800
any signs of slowing down immediately,
And that's not a great decision either.

654
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,519
Vick Fortess isn't exactly somebody I'm loving, but he's been painting a little bit

655
00:51:00,559 --> 00:51:06,039
better, and yeah, actually I
would I would probably lean Nick forts to

656
00:51:06,079 --> 00:51:08,199
be honest. Yeah, I think
he's playing, but they're closed. I

657
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:12,880
mean, Baily and for Tz is
the kind of toss up that I would

658
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,280
be looking at. Yeah, it's
kind of a riding while they're hot in

659
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:22,039
right matchups, and then it's probably
gonna go bad real fast. But it's

660
00:51:22,119 --> 00:51:24,039
catcher, so a lot of them
are gonna go bad fast. So you're

661
00:51:24,119 --> 00:51:29,800
kind of just in with everybody else. Yeah, di Ron Blanco, I

662
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,800
have no idea if I said that
right, So apologies to him if I

663
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:37,360
did not. And Samad Taylor are
called up for Kansas City. We don't

664
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:42,519
normally talk about thirty year old prospects
as as Blanco is, but here we

665
00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:45,159
are gray. But he leads the
league, leads the minor leagues in stolen

666
00:51:45,159 --> 00:51:51,559
bases in forty nine games, he
has forty or forty seven stolen bases.

667
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,840
He's sitting three forty seven, four
forty four and four fifty one. Let's

668
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:59,719
talk about Blanco first and then we
can talk about Taylor afterwards. Yeah.

669
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:05,760
I actually I grabbed Blanco in one
league because of h I mean, that's

670
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:13,159
so forty seven steals in forty nine
games. Room room, baby, room,

671
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:21,920
sagnoff, baby, let's go,
I'm in it. That's that's crazy,

672
00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:25,840
And on top of that, the
Royals seem like they're actually playing them,

673
00:52:27,079 --> 00:52:30,760
at least they were last week.
Now the tailors called up. I

674
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,920
don't know, maybe maybe not,
but yeah, I mean, I don't

675
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,159
know if there's anything else to say
about him, To be honest, I

676
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:44,679
think he's just a straight sagnoff guy. Maybe I don't know, maybe a

677
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:49,320
little bit like if he can hit
for like a two fifty or better,

678
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,760
that's kind of interesting and that helps
at least. Um, I don't know

679
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:58,599
if he's gonna be able to do
that though maybe maybe close maybe two thirty

680
00:52:58,639 --> 00:53:04,679
five. I think he's probably.
Yeah, I mean he's got right exactly.

681
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,079
Yeah, I mean that's actually I
mean that's a good point. Like

682
00:53:07,119 --> 00:53:12,039
he does get on base. It's
not like you know, the old saying

683
00:53:12,119 --> 00:53:15,679
of like you can't steal first,
Like he actually does walk his uh,

684
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:20,480
you know, his walker and the
miners ten point six percent. It's pretty

685
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,400
good. It's actually really good.
So yeah, I mean, if he's

686
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:28,239
able to, like, if he
can figure out some sort of like niche

687
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,360
role with the uh, the Royals, he makes more sense as a leadoff

688
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,400
man than Nick Prato. I mean, I like Nick Prado don't get me

689
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,159
wrong, but he's got no business
like leading off like Blanco would make more

690
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:45,719
sense there. Um and even maybe
you know Taylor good, you want to

691
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:51,159
intro Taylor. Yeah, I mean
the Royals just love doing a flip flip

692
00:53:51,199 --> 00:53:52,920
lineup where like the guys who should
lead off or at the bottom and the

693
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:57,119
guys that shit like middle of the
lineup or sitting one two. It's it's

694
00:53:57,119 --> 00:54:00,000
pretty awesome. Um, But Sabot
Taylor is is twenty four. He's not

695
00:54:00,039 --> 00:54:06,079
a thirty old prospect. This year
in Triple A he had six on runs,

696
00:54:06,079 --> 00:54:08,519
thirty four stolen bases, fifty runs, thirty seven RBIs. He's hitting

697
00:54:08,559 --> 00:54:13,119
three or four four or nine four
sixty three. He has a sub twenty

698
00:54:13,199 --> 00:54:17,039
percent k rate in a just over
fourteen percent walk rate. And he's a

699
00:54:17,039 --> 00:54:21,920
guy he's walked like the last three
years. Blancos was kind of ticked up

700
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,079
this year a little bit like Taylor's
walked pretty much since he's got out of

701
00:54:25,119 --> 00:54:30,000
like low a ball, he's taken
walks. And again, he's a he's

702
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,679
a younger prospect. He might have
been a super two guy like that might

703
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,599
have been the triggering for the Royals
to call him up. That might be

704
00:54:37,599 --> 00:54:42,559
while we sell Blanco a little bit
before him. But regardless, we have

705
00:54:42,639 --> 00:54:47,960
Taylor, where are you adding him
more over Blanco? Yeah, I mean

706
00:54:49,039 --> 00:54:53,800
I think Taylor. Taylor to me
makes more sense for the Royals to go

707
00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:58,639
into like a future, you know, if they're looking to the future,

708
00:54:59,039 --> 00:55:01,320
Taylor makes more sense for them to
play him, because like, why would

709
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:07,320
you play like Blanco to me feels
like a pinch runner, you know,

710
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,519
like a little bit. I mean, the forty seven steals in forty nine

711
00:55:10,559 --> 00:55:15,840
games is really it's really kind of
fun. But I mean, Taylor speed

712
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:22,719
isn't necessarily that much worse, and
he's actually young. So if you're looking

713
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,119
to the future, why didn't you
go for Taylor over Blanco? Like that

714
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:31,719
just seems like it makes more sense
to me, So I would think i'd

715
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:37,000
probably lean Taylor. I mean,
like I said already, like in I

716
00:55:37,079 --> 00:55:42,199
think I got Blanco in a league
I did no one bid on him.

717
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,679
I got Blanco for you know,
ten dollars out of a thousand, So

718
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:52,960
that's like a dollar bid in a
fifteen team mix league. In twelve team

719
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:57,519
mix leagues, I'm not even looking
at Blanco Taylor. I would look at

720
00:55:57,599 --> 00:56:00,840
if you started doing something in a
twelve team NEX league, that is,

721
00:56:00,119 --> 00:56:06,360
in a fifteen team mix league,
I can see Taylor being you know,

722
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,239
actually very interesting, and especially if
he's playing. I don't know how the

723
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,440
Royals are gonna, you know,
like I don't know how the playing time

724
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:19,519
is gonna shake out necessarily because like
they have you know, Massey. At

725
00:56:19,559 --> 00:56:22,480
some point, Massey will return,
you know, I don't think his injuries

726
00:56:22,559 --> 00:56:29,119
that bad from what I've heard,
you know, like he should He's probably

727
00:56:29,159 --> 00:56:34,559
like a minimal stay on the il, so he returns. Then Nicky Lopez

728
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:39,519
gets the boot, so that still
could potentially leave Taylor. But Blanc's Blanco

729
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:44,639
due does Blanco not play at all? I mean maybe, I don't know.

730
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:49,920
I'm just saying like it depends on
playing time, but Taylor potentially Taylor

731
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,480
could get interesting for a twelve team
mix league where Blanco. I don't think

732
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:59,039
that's ever happening with Like, I
think Blanco's just gonna be like, you

733
00:56:59,039 --> 00:57:01,880
know, you play him for a
week, maybe you get three to four

734
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:07,039
steals and then you know you can
drop them next week or something where Tailor

735
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:13,559
could potentially have like you know,
ramifications through all mixed leagues. Yeah,

736
00:57:13,679 --> 00:57:16,480
Bloco is like the filling guy on
a short scheduled day in daily leagues,

737
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,920
where you're just like, maybe I
get a cheap stolen base, just gets

738
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:22,480
in. Maybe I don't even have
to have to get a plate appearance.

739
00:57:22,679 --> 00:57:27,400
I don't have to get that um
and and Taylor, You're right, like

740
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,079
he could he could just take over
left field. It could be his.

741
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:36,280
I guess Blanco could maybe platoon with
Drew Waters. Neither of them are really

742
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,440
great hitters. I assume Blanco can
at least cover some some distance with his

743
00:57:40,519 --> 00:57:44,960
speed. He may not quite have
Drew Waters, you know, coverage.

744
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:49,000
That's that's why he Drew Waters plays. He's he's just a great fielding center

745
00:57:49,039 --> 00:57:53,280
fielder. But maybe Blanco gets sometime
in a little split there, but it's

746
00:57:53,320 --> 00:58:00,119
gonna be the wrong side probably,
so still not great. H Yeah,

747
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:05,159
No, I was just looking to
it like the bids on Samad tail Or.

748
00:58:05,239 --> 00:58:09,599
Samad Taylor did go for more than
Blanco in my in my fab leagues,

749
00:58:10,079 --> 00:58:15,440
Uh, he went a Samad Taylor
went for forty seven and Blanco went

750
00:58:15,559 --> 00:58:21,000
for thirty three to one person.
And then like I mentioned, he went

751
00:58:21,039 --> 00:58:25,719
for ten to me in this other
league where Samad Tailor I think went for

752
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:31,199
fifty and the other league. So
yeah, yeah, Simond Tailor obviously more

753
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:38,320
interesting and could have staying time and
playing time and could be actually very good

754
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:43,679
where Blanco is just you know,
maybe you get a couple of steals.

755
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,960
Yeah, and for whatever it's worth, it's it's two games. But Samad

756
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,920
hasn't struck out yet, and he
already has I think a couple of walks,

757
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,480
so at least for what it's worth, like he has has two walks,

758
00:58:54,519 --> 00:58:59,800
no strikeouts. That's that's a good
start. Yeah, all right,

759
00:59:00,119 --> 00:59:05,519
non prospect stuff. Since you said
you liked Spencer Strider, he's just he's

760
00:59:05,559 --> 00:59:09,039
gone in the tank. I completely
blame you. Last two starts, he

761
00:59:09,079 --> 00:59:15,559
has thirteen runs, fourteen k's over
those third over nine innings, with four

762
00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:22,800
walks in that period at Detroit and
versus the Mets. Not exactly the powerhouses

763
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:27,559
there. And I mean not not
that we've been complaining about him, because

764
00:59:27,559 --> 00:59:30,119
he's been great up until these last
two, but he hasn't had like an

765
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:35,360
unearned run outing since April twenty fourth. It doesn't really matter what the case

766
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:42,800
and he gives you, but is
spencer Strider broken broken way Uh no,

767
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:46,440
stick, No, I don't think
he's broken. I think he's just uh.

768
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:52,760
I think he was just probably mislocating, you know, And it shows

769
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:58,159
like he has his homer per nine
is up and his walks are up a

770
00:59:58,159 --> 01:00:04,159
little bit, so he's probably just
low hating badly with a pitch. I

771
01:00:04,199 --> 01:00:06,960
don't know which pitch I don't have. I don't have all his numbers in

772
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,960
front of me, but I'm sure
what it's gonna look like is he's just

773
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:15,360
not locating with a pitch or two. And you know, if you're not

774
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,719
locating out of the zone, you
can also not locate in the zone.

775
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,599
And if you're you know, you
leave it over the heart of the plate,

776
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,039
even if you are a spencer Strider, some guys are gonna hit it.

777
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:29,400
So yeah, I think he's fine, though, I you know,

778
01:00:29,639 --> 01:00:31,599
it doesn't look like anything like I
did look at like, you know,

779
01:00:31,639 --> 01:00:37,400
his velocity's down a little bit,
but he's still throwing ninety seven. You

780
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:44,119
know, I don't see any real
big concerns. His strikeouts are actually up

781
01:00:45,639 --> 01:00:52,599
to fourteen point five k per nine
versus thirteen point eight last year. I

782
01:00:52,599 --> 01:00:58,199
mean, it looks good. It's
just you know, he probably he probably

783
01:00:58,239 --> 01:01:00,920
just got gave up a couple of
homers in a bad situation. So yeah,

784
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:06,159
I would be buying. If anything, I don't I'm not really concerned.

785
01:01:07,559 --> 01:01:10,239
Yeah, the slight drop in velocity. Has been wondering if they might

786
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:14,480
give him a you know, a
phantom. I l stant the Braves have

787
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:17,840
you know, bigger plans than just
getting to the playoffs. Maybe they just

788
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,480
let him rest up his army again. He's still a young guy. He

789
01:01:21,519 --> 01:01:24,920
throws the ball so damn hard.
I think maybe he just needs a little

790
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,639
bit of time. He's he's at
seventy eight and EANs. He threw one

791
01:01:28,719 --> 01:01:34,559
hundred and thirty one last year,
so you know, he's about about half

792
01:01:34,599 --> 01:01:37,280
a little bit over halfway of probably
where they'd like him to get to this

793
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:42,159
year. They could give him a
stretch or two, or give him a

794
01:01:42,159 --> 01:01:45,400
six man rotation for a couple times
through yeah, or maybe you know,

795
01:01:46,119 --> 01:01:50,840
skip him going into the All Star
break and that gives him like you know,

796
01:01:51,079 --> 01:01:53,320
ten days to two weeks off or
something. Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

797
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,280
they could definitely find some time for
him to I will say that,

798
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,920
like now, when you were talking, I was looking at hislocities, and

799
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:06,840
it looks like his fastball velocity was
hired to start the year and has it

800
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:12,760
has come down you know, almost
almost two about one and a half miles

801
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:16,360
per hour. So yeah, I
mean that's a little bit concerning. I

802
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:22,480
mean, he is maybe potentially he's
coming off of like a big season last

803
01:02:22,559 --> 01:02:28,119
year where he you know, he
probably he's he's throwing a lot of innings

804
01:02:28,159 --> 01:02:32,039
that he wasn't necessarily throwing, you
know, in previous seasons. You know,

805
01:02:32,199 --> 01:02:36,280
last year was a big year,
a lot of innings last year.

806
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,239
This year is going you know,
if he stays in the rotational year,

807
01:02:39,239 --> 01:02:43,039
it's going to be a ton of
innings. And then you think about like

808
01:02:43,079 --> 01:02:46,480
the playoffs, So yeah, a
fan of my el stint probably wouldn't be

809
01:02:46,559 --> 01:02:52,159
the worst thing for him. Maybe
an ill stint in July, so then

810
01:02:52,199 --> 01:02:55,519
he has to all star break and
an ill stint and he gets you know,

811
01:02:55,559 --> 01:02:59,719
two and a half weeks off.
Potentially, I don't know, I

812
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,719
mean, and just you know,
it's just all conjecture, but it looks

813
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:07,920
like he could be a little bit
tired. Yeah, would you potentially be

814
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:12,559
trading him away or trading for him? I would be buying him for sure.

815
01:03:13,039 --> 01:03:16,559
Yeah, I mean it depends on
the price obviously, Like whenever,

816
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:21,960
you know, whenever anything is discussed
in a trade, it's always about what

817
01:03:22,079 --> 01:03:27,599
the actual you know, the prices
that you're paying. But in you know,

818
01:03:27,719 --> 01:03:31,440
in a vacuum, I would take
Strider as a buy versus a cell.

819
01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:37,519
But you know, someone were to
say to me, like, I'll

820
01:03:37,559 --> 01:03:40,599
give you a kuna for a Strider, I would take a kunya. I

821
01:03:40,599 --> 01:03:44,679
mean, you know, like it
depends on it depends on what the trade

822
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:49,400
is, obviously, but in more
more than likely scenario, it's gonna be

823
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:55,880
like, you know, a route
rejuvenated Michael Harris the Second or Strider.

824
01:03:58,119 --> 01:04:01,519
I'm still taking Strider, like I
you know, I never thought. I

825
01:04:01,559 --> 01:04:05,360
never thought Michael Harris a Second was
going to be you know, terrible to

826
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:10,239
the point where he was. But
I also am still you know, not

827
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:15,639
convinced he's like, you know,
a huge thirty thirty guy or something like.

828
01:04:15,719 --> 01:04:19,320
I still think there's a ceiling for
Harris where Strider. I mean,

829
01:04:19,519 --> 01:04:24,039
I don't I don't have the strikeout
numbers in front of me, but I'm

830
01:04:24,039 --> 01:04:27,880
guessing he has the most. He
has the highest k per nine probably in

831
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,199
the league, right, I mean
his kaper nine is insane. I mean

832
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:35,840
yeah, I mean it's gotta be
like he's got a fourteen point five.

833
01:04:40,159 --> 01:04:45,480
That's nuts, you know, like
if you have a fourteen point nine or

834
01:04:45,599 --> 01:04:48,239
four excuse me, a fourteen point
five k per nine, like you can

835
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:54,119
get away with like a five walk
raade and still be good, like you

836
01:04:54,119 --> 01:04:57,639
you don't, like, you know, but yeah, he has the best

837
01:04:57,719 --> 01:05:01,800
ker nine by two strike goats per
nine, like above Hunter Green. Hunter

838
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:08,800
Green's number two at twelve point three. Like that's crazy. Like so Striders

839
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,840
still, I mean, to me, Strider is like, pound for pound,

840
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,360
like the best pitcher in baseball,
if not best, he's the top

841
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:26,000
three. Like you know, just
stuff one and after stuff you know else,

842
01:05:26,079 --> 01:05:30,199
it's like there's luck involved in e
erra and whip, you know,

843
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:32,639
and just you know, you throw
out everything else and you just look at

844
01:05:32,719 --> 01:05:38,559
k per nine and Spencer Strider is
far and away better than everyone else by

845
01:05:38,599 --> 01:05:45,079
a lot. Yeah. Yeah,
he's just he's been great up until this

846
01:05:45,119 --> 01:05:47,119
little stretch. You know, the
seasonal numbers took a little bit of hit

847
01:05:47,199 --> 01:05:53,679
across that one, but again,
he's he's been great. I think there

848
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:56,639
is going to be kind of either
an ale or a six man around the

849
01:05:56,679 --> 01:06:00,800
All Star break. Give him some
time off. Just just three eighty three

850
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,079
with four home runs, two stone
at the bottom line up though, you

851
01:06:03,119 --> 01:06:09,039
know, I'm still saying buy you
probably can't buy him quite as low as

852
01:06:09,079 --> 01:06:13,559
you could have, you know,
two weeks ago. But I still think,

853
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,239
you know, his owner might potentially
let him go, especially if that

854
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,639
person maybe bought low at the right
time. Person happens to be me.

855
01:06:23,079 --> 01:06:26,679
Well, you would have him,
would have traded for him. I wouldn't

856
01:06:26,719 --> 01:06:29,960
have him, so I wouldn't be
able to trade him away. Yes,

857
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:34,920
I would exactly. Actually, Galaxy
Breining, I would trade for him just

858
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:41,280
to trade him away, just to
teach him a lesson. You know,

859
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:47,119
on the Seven Day Player Raider,
he's actually number two behind Otani uh and

860
01:06:47,599 --> 01:06:53,559
Eddie Rosario is number three. Eddie
Rosario is having a great month of June.

861
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:58,119
Um. Yeah, anyway, Yeah, I mean with Michael Harris the

862
01:06:58,199 --> 01:07:02,360
second, I you know, I
just have like I have issues with his

863
01:07:03,039 --> 01:07:11,880
approach. As I've mentioned many times
before, the more the more the fantasy

864
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:16,039
aspect is like the hitting the hitting
ninth. You know, there's some there's

865
01:07:16,039 --> 01:07:20,159
some problems there, as I just
said with like he was number two on

866
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:26,400
the Seven Day Player Raider, So
hitting ninth doesn't kill all value. Like

867
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:31,320
there's still potential, you know,
for some value there. But like I

868
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:38,960
still think he's like you know,
he's like he's a twenty twenty two sixty

869
01:07:39,079 --> 01:07:42,239
hitter, which is fine, which
is good. I mean, that's not

870
01:07:42,639 --> 01:07:47,360
terrible. But there's you know,
there's some Definitely there's room for slumps as

871
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:51,800
we saw in the first like two
months of the season. Like you know,

872
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:59,519
his approach is it's slump prone his
approach unfortunately, because like you know,

873
01:07:59,639 --> 01:08:02,480
he has hit like a lot of
grounders. He hits the ball into

874
01:08:02,519 --> 01:08:08,119
the ground. He hits he could
he could potentially get like you know,

875
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,559
a hidd into like a bad babbit. Like and if he hits into a

876
01:08:11,599 --> 01:08:15,199
bad babbit, as we saw,
whoa, Hey, who's speeding? I'm

877
01:08:15,239 --> 01:08:19,439
I what's going on? I'm I'm
you know how old I am. I'm

878
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:27,520
running down the street yelling at cars
old getting license plates of speeders. Hey

879
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:33,760
man, slow down, there's kids
here, not my kids necessarily, anyway,

880
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:39,560
Michael Harris is like, you know, he could potentially slump as we

881
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:44,920
saw So that's my biggest concern with
Michael Harris. Like he is, but

882
01:08:45,039 --> 01:08:50,319
he is like luck neutral. He
is a twenty twenty two sixty ish hitter,

883
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:56,319
So that's got value, Like there's
something to that. It's just like

884
01:08:56,520 --> 01:09:00,600
you gotta be ready for like when
you know they April and May of him

885
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:06,199
comes along and he is like,
you know, hitting one seventy five for

886
01:09:06,239 --> 01:09:11,000
a month and you're like, oh
wow, should I drop him? You

887
01:09:11,039 --> 01:09:15,399
know? So yeah, I just
want to point out that he was also

888
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:19,720
you know injury over that period.
So yeah, so there's you know,

889
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:26,079
there's a there's a there's a reason
that might happen. But he does have

890
01:09:26,199 --> 01:09:28,479
a lot. I mean, come
on, you gonna admit his launch angle

891
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:32,000
isn't exactly set up for home leads. Uh, it's still better than your

892
01:09:32,039 --> 01:09:41,199
boy. Launch angle is lower than
Christian yellowch Right now, we can,

893
01:09:41,319 --> 01:09:44,600
yeah, we can. We can
always go down. We can always do

894
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:46,760
it right now, we can always
do now we cannot now we can we

895
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:55,119
cannot? Sorry, all right,
well not going down the Boba Schett line.

896
01:09:55,279 --> 01:09:58,359
And we already talked about any Razzari. It was crazy performance. How

897
01:09:58,399 --> 01:10:02,039
you'd ignored my boy DONC team and
told him that Eddie Zario's trash. You

898
01:10:02,039 --> 01:10:05,920
don't need him on your roster.
You need to pick up who wasn't what

899
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:12,840
what useless player did you pick good? You know, I want to say,

900
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:18,840
I want to say it was someone
as useless as like J. J.

901
01:10:19,039 --> 01:10:27,560
Bladay, But I mean, honestly, that would probably that's a lie

902
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:30,640
because I've had Oh I see,
uh, actually I'm looking at my team

903
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,760
right now. I see lance Lynn
just got put on the briefing list.

904
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:40,199
He's uh, he's going to the
funeral for my fantasy teams because what he

905
01:10:40,319 --> 01:10:44,239
did to them. And then you
sat him last night. I sat him,

906
01:10:44,319 --> 01:10:47,199
Yeah, I sat him for his
sixteen strikeout game. That was that

907
01:10:47,279 --> 01:10:53,119
was fun. You know, Like, Honestly, if you're gonna be terrible,

908
01:10:54,119 --> 01:10:58,079
it being terrible. But if you're
gonna be good, be good.

909
01:10:58,319 --> 01:11:00,720
Just don't be good and then terrible
and then good and then terrible and then

910
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:06,720
good, because that's landing, bro. Like, that's that's where I have

911
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:11,520
a problem. When you're not when
you're not gonna do the same thing.

912
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,239
If you're just gonna be awful,
then I'm like, you know what,

913
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:17,640
he's just not good. That's fine. But if he's not good, and

914
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,119
then he comes back and he throws
sixteen k's, so like, come on,

915
01:11:21,399 --> 01:11:27,840
man, come on, see that's
just being mean. Throw me a

916
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:34,720
fricking bone here, Come on,
Lanceland just just the worst. Oh man,

917
01:11:35,199 --> 01:11:38,960
where when we look back at like
his season and he's gonna have like

918
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,359
the same line as ever, I'm
gonna go back through or remind everybody like

919
01:11:42,359 --> 01:11:45,039
you sat him for sixteen ks,
you sat him for ten k's. You

920
01:11:45,159 --> 01:11:50,039
definitely sat him for like the other
seven k like nowhere in run spots,

921
01:11:50,079 --> 01:11:54,239
like you didn't start him for any
of these. Don't don't be giving me

922
01:11:54,279 --> 01:11:59,560
his overall no, you know,
honestly, if Lanceland's actually not a bad

923
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:04,880
guy at it discussed briefly because like
his strikeouts are not bad, Like he's

924
01:12:04,920 --> 01:12:10,680
got a right now he has a
ten point nine ka per nine and his

925
01:12:11,159 --> 01:12:15,640
walk rade is just out of control, terrible and well for him at least

926
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:20,600
it's three point yeah. Yeah,
it's like lance Lynn when he would have

927
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:27,239
like a four point seven seventy ar
a uh like just not just not a

928
01:12:27,279 --> 01:12:32,880
good walk rate. And I mean
that because he's shown he can have a

929
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,960
better command. Like it's sort of
like why I was back in on Charlie

930
01:12:38,039 --> 01:12:41,399
Moore in this year, like a
guy, like you know, a guy

931
01:12:41,399 --> 01:12:45,239
who has good command, who are
at least has shown he has good command,

932
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:49,760
can get better, Like lance Lynn
shouldn't be this bad, Like he

933
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:53,520
really shouldn't. I'm not you know, I'm not just saying that because he

934
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:57,640
just had a sixteen K strikeout game. I would love to be able to

935
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:03,039
dismiss lance Lynn forever from my life, But he really isn't. Like if

936
01:13:03,039 --> 01:13:09,920
you look at like his peripherals,
he's not really this bad. But you

937
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:15,399
know, he was. He was
very bad for many months. And I

938
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:19,520
think even like even in a good
scenario, like best case scenario, he's

939
01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:25,520
still especially at this point because his
ear a is so awful that he would

940
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,520
need to be so good for the
rest of the year for it to fix

941
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:33,000
itself. But I still think he's
probably like an over four ear A guy.

942
01:13:33,239 --> 01:13:38,960
So you know, like in most
leagues, that's not I mean,

943
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:42,239
that's not great. You know,
like in a twelve team mix league,

944
01:13:43,079 --> 01:13:47,720
you can stream that probably and do
better. So but in a fifteen team

945
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:53,039
mix league or deeper, I mean, like I still have Lancelin on my

946
01:13:53,079 --> 01:13:56,760
teams, and you know a bunch
of leagues. I was like, you

947
01:13:56,800 --> 01:14:00,720
can't. I had him on the
bench for sixty gage strikeout game, and

948
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:05,479
now I'm moving him into my lineups. And I'm sure his next games would

949
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:10,560
be awful. I just know it
will be just the way it goes.

950
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:15,199
So you know, it is what
it is at this point. But yeah,

951
01:14:15,239 --> 01:14:18,760
his next game is supposedly against the
Red Sox in uh in Chicago,

952
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:23,920
so you know, hope. Yeah, we'll see how that goes and then

953
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:29,239
we'll we'll complain next week. Yeah, exactly. All right, let's let's

954
01:14:29,239 --> 01:14:32,439
move on to the bullpens. Gray
Um Alex Lange has been struggling. They're

955
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:39,119
kind of moving to this committee.
Are you interested in in anybody in this

956
01:14:39,119 --> 01:14:45,279
committee? Or is this a deep
league if you're really chasing situation? Uh?

957
01:14:45,399 --> 01:14:48,279
Yeah, No, I think Foley
has looked pretty good. Like I

958
01:14:48,359 --> 01:14:53,359
don't I don't necessarily know, you
know, if they go to a if

959
01:14:53,359 --> 01:14:57,960
they go to a committee, then
it's just bad. Like a committee would

960
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:02,760
just not be good. But if
they go to Folly, then that,

961
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:09,600
you know, then then that's worth
you know, potentially picking up and going

962
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:14,159
with that. Like I think like
his numbers like he's got really good command,

963
01:15:15,079 --> 01:15:19,079
and you know, good command can
go a long way. Lang has

964
01:15:19,119 --> 01:15:25,600
looked pretty bad so and and fully
got the last save, you know,

965
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,960
on Sunday. I don't know,
you know, it depends on where people

966
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,600
listen to this, but you know, fully may already have blown the next

967
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:38,000
opportunity. But anyway, I mean
fully, as of right this second,

968
01:15:38,159 --> 01:15:43,319
I would grab Folly. I don't
necessarily think like he's gonna be you know,

969
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,359
great, Like he doesn't have like
huge strikeouts. He's uh, he's

970
01:15:47,399 --> 01:15:51,760
a good command guy. He's got
like, you know, he's basically like

971
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:59,600
two two to three pitch pitcher like
he's got he's got a hard fastball at

972
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:04,520
ninety seven, but it is really
like slider change. But anyway, yeah,

973
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:10,960
I mean he looks like if he
can potentially put together because he got

974
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:14,359
the last save as of the recording
of this, if he can get them,

975
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,960
if he can get the next like
saver or two, I could see

976
01:16:17,039 --> 01:16:20,520
him being the closer for the rest
of the season. Then again, by

977
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:24,680
this time next week he may not
be the closer at all. So I

978
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:28,520
don't know, but he's worth looking
at. I kind of like, fully,

979
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:31,239
I'm interested, Okay, so I
grabbing him if you're if you're chasing

980
01:16:31,239 --> 01:16:35,000
some saves and you're looking to kind
of speculate on and who might be taking

981
01:16:35,039 --> 01:16:41,960
over situations, that's always what we're
looking for. Ryan Helseley has the injury,

982
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,600
he's going to il. It's been
it's been Jordan Hicks, not Geo

983
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:50,720
Gegos like be. It kind of
speculated since he seemed like he was getting

984
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:56,159
the extra you know, the day
off saves and used in the high leverage

985
01:16:56,199 --> 01:17:00,199
areas. But Jordan Hicks has coming
in and gotten two saves. Gray Yeah,

986
01:17:00,279 --> 01:17:02,159
Yeah, And I you know,
I grabbed Hicks in all the leagues

987
01:17:02,199 --> 01:17:06,279
where I could. I think,
I think Hicks is probably a time bomb

988
01:17:06,319 --> 01:17:12,439
waiting to happen. But for right
now, I mean, he does you

989
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,520
know, he has put together back
to back saves, so you know,

990
01:17:16,119 --> 01:17:23,840
and nothing else really, nothing else
really matters, as hilt as nihilistic as

991
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:28,359
that sounds, I mean, nothing
matters if a guy's getting saves and Hicks

992
01:17:28,399 --> 01:17:31,760
got the last two. So yeah, I would go Hicks. Yeah.

993
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:36,199
Another another Sagnaw situation, although I
will say, for for whatever it's where

994
01:17:36,359 --> 01:17:41,600
since May started, Hicks is throwing
at two eight four r a So,

995
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:45,479
I mean he's been he's been significantly
better that the first month of the season

996
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:49,680
he was. He was absolutely horrendous. But the Cardinals bullpen has kind of

997
01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:54,520
turned itself around and then hell's it
got injured as soon as as soon as

998
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:58,319
that happened. But it seems like
they're going for Hicks for now. I

999
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:00,920
still don't know that I'm dropping being
Diegos if you're in a you know,

1000
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:05,680
a speculating situation, because if Hicks
reverts back to what he was doing at

1001
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:09,720
the beginning of the season all of
a sudden, I don't think they hesitate

1002
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,319
to move Diegos, right, Yeah, no completely. I think if you

1003
01:18:13,399 --> 01:18:18,319
need saves, you're holding Diegos for
now because like, if Hicks blows the

1004
01:18:18,359 --> 01:18:23,720
next game, Diegos is the closer
again. Yeah, I think it's a

1005
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:30,359
very fluid situation. Edward als Lay
seems to be in a committee or maybe

1006
01:18:30,359 --> 01:18:36,119
taking the job away from al Leder
Junior in Chicago. Is this Are you

1007
01:18:36,239 --> 01:18:41,800
interested in Alza Lay at all?
Or is this another kind of, you

1008
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:45,399
know, if we're chasing only type
of scenario. Yeah, I think if

1009
01:18:45,399 --> 01:18:48,640
you're if you're really desperate, I
could see grabbing him. The one good

1010
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:54,640
thing is with als Lay, he's
been really good. Even outside of saves.

1011
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:59,560
He's got a one point nine seven
here a as of the recording of

1012
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:03,119
this, He's got you know,
decent k's. He's commanding his pitches.

1013
01:19:03,239 --> 01:19:09,840
He looks good. I think it's
desperate because I just don't see him getting

1014
01:19:10,039 --> 01:19:13,960
like right now, he has four
saves. I'd be surprised if he got

1015
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,800
to twelve saves on the year.
I just don't see I don't see him

1016
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:23,920
getting a ton of saves like I
think you know David Ross has been using.

1017
01:19:24,039 --> 01:19:27,680
He uses them all over the place. He uses Lighter sometimes as the

1018
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,319
closer. I just don't think there's
really going to be a closer there.

1019
01:19:32,199 --> 01:19:35,119
Yeah, that's fair. I think
Al's Lay is, you know, the

1020
01:19:35,119 --> 01:19:40,359
one your roster if you're gonna roster
one of them. Again, as you

1021
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,760
mentioned, his numbers are good.
He's the only closer when he comes in,

1022
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,720
or the only reliever that comes in
for the Cubs that I don't immediately

1023
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:51,760
grab a vomit bag for. So
you know, he's he's the one you

1024
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:57,640
want to rosters. Has Lighter been
bad because his numbers look pretty good.

1025
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:02,479
He's definitely has his own. He's
definitely had some struggles. Um, I

1026
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,279
don't know, it just he just
doesn't And I said, al, I'm

1027
01:20:05,279 --> 01:20:09,359
at amant Mark. I don't know. I'm just mixing up my lighters here.

1028
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:14,600
Um, it just hasn't looked he
has. It just hasn't looked good.

1029
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,159
He's given up like Kants, he's
walking people like the like the March

1030
01:20:17,279 --> 01:20:24,720
Brothers. It's al Mark and Zippo, all different lighters. Anyway, Sorry,

1031
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:28,239
now that's perfect, fine, No, it's just it's just kind of

1032
01:20:28,239 --> 01:20:31,239
watching them. Um, I've just
noticed ladders. I mean, he's not

1033
01:20:31,359 --> 01:20:35,439
very great. So I think there's
a potential that they're they make a swap

1034
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:40,199
at some point. Yeah, yeah, I mean maybe. I think it's

1035
01:20:40,239 --> 01:20:43,920
probably just gonna be a committee for
the rest of the year because the Cubs

1036
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,800
aren't really doing anything. Yeah,
and if they can potentially sell one of

1037
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:51,840
them or absolutely yeah, if they
get Yeah, if they can trade one,

1038
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:56,840
then they're gonna I mean I don't
know if they will. If they

1039
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,119
were smart, they would, so
we'll say I don't know, well,

1040
01:21:00,119 --> 01:21:05,560
then they're probably not. Yeah,
Right. Moving over to Arizona, Andy

1041
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:11,279
Chaffin has been not not very good
for a couple of weeks here, Scott

1042
01:21:11,359 --> 01:21:15,640
McK is actually entered back into the
conversation and him and Miguel Castro both got

1043
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:20,479
saved this week for Arizona. Chafin
did not. So are we adjusting how

1044
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:27,800
we're approaching the Arizona closer or are
you just ignoring and avoiding this situation as

1045
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,399
much as possible? Yeah? I
mean I would like to avoid it if

1046
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:34,439
I could, so, if you
have enough saves, it's not worth like

1047
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:42,279
wading into that mess. But if
you need saves, i'd probably go MC.

1048
01:21:43,079 --> 01:21:49,079
Right now, I'd probably say MQ, Chafen, Castro, but it

1049
01:21:49,119 --> 01:21:55,760
could be MC, Castro, Chaffin. I think you know. I think

1050
01:21:55,800 --> 01:22:00,800
Schafen and Castro though, are kind
of like two A and to be and

1051
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:06,319
MC is one A if that makes
sense. Yeah, No, I understand

1052
01:22:06,359 --> 01:22:13,159
what you're saying. Yeah. Moving
over to Tampa Bay, Pete Fairbanks came

1053
01:22:13,199 --> 01:22:16,840
back from the IL. He got
his two saved quota and two opportunities since

1054
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:23,560
returning. Do you trust the race
to let Fairbanks close or would you potentially

1055
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:28,239
look at selling high on Fairbanks because
the Rays will never let him close?

1056
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,600
M No, I think I think
Fairbanks is going to be good, and

1057
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:35,960
he's he's good even if he's not
getting saved, So I have no problem

1058
01:22:36,039 --> 01:22:41,640
rostering him. I think I think
he's probably you know, the Rays will

1059
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:47,159
win a bunch of games, Fairbanks
will get his fair chance at saves.

1060
01:22:47,319 --> 01:22:51,439
I think I think he's fine.
I have no problem going with Fairbanks.

1061
01:22:53,199 --> 01:22:57,479
Okay, I have him and a
lot of teams. I've just been he's

1062
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,039
literally gotten two saves a month,
like that's how he It's worked for him

1063
01:23:00,079 --> 01:23:04,720
every month so far. So I'm
just hoping they let him stay in that

1064
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:09,399
role. Maybe just saying it out
loud on the podcast so that it's it's

1065
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:15,359
out there and maybe they'll hear me. Maybe maybe somebody. I'm sure they

1066
01:23:15,359 --> 01:23:20,960
will. Actually, I didn't realize
that. Oh no, he's got seven

1067
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:26,319
saves on the year. Wow.
Wow, is his kaper nine down.

1068
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:30,119
I hadn't really looked at Fairbanks.
I think he is the closer though,

1069
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:35,439
but oh my god, he's only
he only has eleven strikeouts on the year.

1070
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:43,359
What did he become a pitch to
contact guy? Wow? I really

1071
01:23:43,399 --> 01:23:47,880
did not. I don't have Fairbanks, so I really had no idea how

1072
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:54,319
terrible his peripherals were. Outside of
raa obviously as a one point three five

1073
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:59,560
ra So, I mean he's doing
fine, but wow, his case in

1074
01:24:00,239 --> 01:24:03,840
are terrible. Yeah, it's uh, the case have not been there as

1075
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:10,239
a Fairbanks owner. I don't know, it's it's possible. It seems like

1076
01:24:10,239 --> 01:24:13,560
the raise and in pitcher injuries just
kind of go hand in hand. Yeah,

1077
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,439
recently, Um, the Nationals committee, this might be worse than the

1078
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:25,039
Cubs committee. Fittigan, Harvey,
Carl Carls Junior. This is what I

1079
01:24:25,319 --> 01:24:28,720
think I'm avoiding, and I'm I'm
just saved desperate in a few leagues.

1080
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:32,159
I really don't want any of these
guys. Yeah, no, I feel

1081
01:24:32,199 --> 01:24:38,640
that. I think outside of NL
only, you're not really getting anything here

1082
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:43,359
that other than like a headache.
Yeah. And it is gonna hurt.

1083
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:45,600
Yeah, one of them or all
of them is gonna hurt. And it'll

1084
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:49,279
probably be in a non safe situation. Just to rub it in a little

1085
01:24:49,279 --> 01:24:54,479
bit more. Um, in Minnesota, Griffin, Jack's got to save this

1086
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:58,720
week. It's been a month since
he's allowed to earn run. Do you

1087
01:24:58,760 --> 01:25:02,720
think that maybe he's he's kind of
jumping in with Duran And I mean Stuart

1088
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:05,479
gets one every now and then,
as well. But do you think he's

1089
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:14,560
entering the conversation of Minnesota's weird bullpen
closer committee thing. Um, you know,

1090
01:25:15,359 --> 01:25:19,359
bald Delli likes to mix a match, so it wouldn't shock me to

1091
01:25:19,399 --> 01:25:25,119
see Jack's get a few more saves
here and there. But I think Duran

1092
01:25:25,319 --> 01:25:32,439
is the closer and Stewart is the
setup guy. So Jack is third for

1093
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:39,319
saves there. But I could see
him getting a handful, not like over

1094
01:25:39,399 --> 01:25:43,840
the course of the season that is
so like not necessarily having you know,

1095
01:25:44,039 --> 01:25:47,960
zero chance of getting another save.
But I think he's behind two other guys.

1096
01:25:49,359 --> 01:25:54,479
Okay, sounds good. So it's
really just a you know, in

1097
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:59,159
those very very deep leagues where every
backup his own, then maybe Griffin Jacks

1098
01:25:59,199 --> 01:26:02,560
gets picked up. Otherwise you're pretty
much on you know, Derayner or Baby

1099
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:08,159
Stewart. Yeah, yeah, I
think so. I think Jackson is probably

1100
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:14,319
like there's you know, there's al
only where he's probably roster it. And

1101
01:26:14,359 --> 01:26:18,319
then there's leagues like a twelve team
like an RCL, like a twelve team

1102
01:26:18,319 --> 01:26:25,520
mix league. But but it's daily
and I could see churning Jackson and out

1103
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:30,319
of like an RCL team's line up
just because he's been good for you know,

1104
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:35,399
so long, and he could potentially
maybe grab a save here and there.

1105
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:41,920
So I could see Jack's potentially being
interesting in like a daily league and

1106
01:26:42,159 --> 01:26:45,760
in a very deep league. Yeah, I agree. All right, great,

1107
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:48,840
let's talk about some more some more
interesting people to look at in our

1108
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:56,640
pickups. Okay? Uh so Christian
and Carcone Strand whatever happened with that.

1109
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,439
He's the one persons still left in
the reds Miners Gray, and so I'm

1110
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,399
sure the one who was coming up
first, you know, I'm sure he

1111
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:10,760
probably feels the same way. He's
like he's at the lunch table and like

1112
01:27:10,840 --> 01:27:15,520
all his buddies are like graduated.
He's like he's like the kid who stayed

1113
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:20,520
behind in high school and all his
friends went on the college. Christian and

1114
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:27,560
Carcio Strand is Matthew McConaughey. Uh
yeah, I think. Also, Leotie

1115
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:31,520
Tabaris has been really hot. He's
been good. I actually dropped him in

1116
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:39,119
one league and I immediately regretted it. Eddie Rosaria, who we've mentioned earlier,

1117
01:27:39,239 --> 01:27:44,399
has been like amazing and probably should
be rostered in every league as of

1118
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:48,199
right now. You know. And
then there's like guys like Ryan O'Hearn,

1119
01:27:48,399 --> 01:27:53,039
who has he's been hot. He's
not gonna stay hot, but he's been

1120
01:27:53,079 --> 01:27:57,079
hot, you know, coming in
since today at least. H Matt Verling

1121
01:27:57,319 --> 01:28:00,680
has been really good. He's been
hot. He I think he had a

1122
01:28:00,680 --> 01:28:02,800
little bit of a back issue,
but you know, if he's okay,

1123
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:09,199
he's been good. H Andy Abanya's
same team, Tigers. The Tigers looked

1124
01:28:09,199 --> 01:28:12,039
pretty good the last couple of weeks, so they were hot. Um,

1125
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:16,520
Mike Tuckman, for whatever reasons,
hitting leadoff. I don't even even know.

1126
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,479
Yeah, I don't even start.
I don't I have no clue what's

1127
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:25,960
going on there. Donovan Solana has
been hot. Uh. And Mike Ford

1128
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,680
a random little name there for you, he's been hot. Uh, let's

1129
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:35,640
see. And uh, Brandon Crawford
is high up on the seven day Player

1130
01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:40,560
Raider and I didn't realize he was
hot, but it looks like he's been.

1131
01:28:41,399 --> 01:28:44,359
He has been, he's been,
he's been hitting the ball, you

1132
01:28:44,399 --> 01:28:47,840
know, just tearing the cover off
on the pitcher side. If you have

1133
01:28:48,039 --> 01:28:53,319
I L slots and you're just you
having them open tweaked Scooble and Matt Manning

1134
01:28:53,399 --> 01:28:57,720
or finishing up rehabs. It seems
like Scoobles maybe a little bit ahead.

1135
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:00,319
So they're looking at at least one
more start, or each of them maybe

1136
01:29:00,319 --> 01:29:03,600
two more or three more starts permining. But they're both on their way back

1137
01:29:04,359 --> 01:29:08,760
as far as starts for this week. Dean Kramer versus Seattle. I'm just

1138
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:13,079
gonna keep saying Dean Kramer until his
roster percentage goes up a little bit,

1139
01:29:13,159 --> 01:29:16,960
because it doesn't. It just stays
very low. Julio trey Ron of all

1140
01:29:17,039 --> 01:29:21,560
people versus Arizona. He's been good
this year. You can start the JP

1141
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:27,439
sears Paul Blackburn Orioles at Cleveland.
I think that, you know, I

1142
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:31,039
think that's fairly safe. Cleveland's not
exactly scary right now, and they've both

1143
01:29:31,079 --> 01:29:36,439
been good recently. Tenner Baby versus
Milwaukee. Rich Hill versus the Cubs.

1144
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:42,600
Chris Bassett has had a couple of
tough outings recently, but look for him

1145
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:45,720
to get back on track. Versus
Oakland, although Oakland's been not completely awful

1146
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:49,920
at least the last couple of weeks, and Drey Jamieson has been good in

1147
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:54,279
the pen. So if you're kind
of speculating in deeper leagues, I think

1148
01:29:54,319 --> 01:29:58,159
you look at Drey Jamison, He's
gonna give you good numbers when he while

1149
01:29:58,159 --> 01:30:00,239
he's in the pen. And I
think he could be moving to a starter

1150
01:30:00,359 --> 01:30:08,479
sooner rather than later, because well
the rotation is awful there there, all

1151
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:11,159
right, If you have any other
questions, you want to looking at any

1152
01:30:11,239 --> 01:30:15,039
other pickups trades whatever it might be, confined us. I'm on Twitter at
