Master Lithario.

15
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,719
Speaker 3: Great, all right, how's it going over there? Great?

16
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 4: Good man? You know, I actually I went to uh,

17
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,680
I went to see the Dodgers Cubs game on Saturday,

18
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,359
you know, because I went to go boo Pete Crow

19
00:01:32,519 --> 00:01:34,480
Armstrong because I don't know if you I don't know

20
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,879
if you've seen this, but he's he's been. He's been.

21
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:40,799
He's been given to the Dodger fans a little bit.

22
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:43,959
He's been. He's been poking the bear as as you want,

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,439
as one might say, he's been uh he's actually the

24
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:55,079
Cubs are bears, so it's a cannibalistic yes. So he

25
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,920
was saying that, you know, Dodger fans aren't real fans.

26
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:01,959
So yeah, I got to prove him wrong.

27
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:02,359
Speaker 2: I had.

28
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: I got there at like the middle of the third inning,

29
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:12,039
I believe, and then I you know, had a we

30
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,479
had a little bit of a chardonnay and a little

31
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,039
bit of we had a you know a little bit

32
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:22,719
of sushi, and left in the seventh inning. But before that,

33
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:27,439
during those three plus innings, I was there. I booed

34
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:31,280
the crap out of Pete Crow armstrong man, how dare you?

35
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:33,039
How dare you?

36
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,319
Speaker 3: Sir?

37
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: So you were at the ballpark for less time than

38
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,039
it took you to get there and get home, That's

39
00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:41,840
what I'm hearing.

40
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: I actually know the game was. The game was early.

41
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:50,240
It was four point fifteen my time, so we we're

42
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:53,560
fairly close to Dodger Stadium where we lived. So I

43
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,919
actually we left it like I want to say, we

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,639
left it like quarter to got there like six point fifteen,

45
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:06,199
and then left around six forty five, so it's like

46
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,639
a half hour, right, it's about roughly.

47
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:15,479
Speaker 1: So you were there for like one additional trip of

48
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,240
that you were there for like forty five minutes a

49
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,520
little bit more.

50
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,199
Speaker 3: That's good. That's good, the approving Pete Crow Armstrong.

51
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:31,199
Speaker 4: So I will say this honestly, at the Dodger Stadium,

52
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560
I mean I've been I haven't been to every stadium.

53
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:36,960
I haven't even been to a lot of stadiums, to

54
00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,879
be honest, but Dodger Stadium is actually is one of

55
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:46,479
the better stadiums in my opinion. And it was. I

56
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:49,599
mean it's a good matchup, right, Like the Cubs are

57
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,400
a the Cubs are a popular teams. As one might imagine.

58
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:56,800
It was busy. I mean there was a guy in

59
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:02,639
front of me with like a Fuki Dome jersey, a

60
00:04:02,759 --> 00:04:08,800
Cubs jersey what else. Yeah, there is a guys, guys

61
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,039
all the I mean there is a lot of people.

62
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,360
It was. It was. It was crowded. I mean it was.

63
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,240
It was a good Well spent four hundred hours for

64
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,279
twenty five minutes at the Paul Park. It was nice.

65
00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:26,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's that it could be worse.

66
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: Gray, There's there's worse ways to spend money. You could

67
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,519
spend money like the Red Sox and just fire everybody

68
00:04:34,519 --> 00:04:38,360
that you have on your payroll, uh, in the management and.

69
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: Just just completely clean house.

70
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:40,959
Speaker 2: Uh.

71
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: Maybe I mean, you know, you're leading AL, I'm leading NL.

72
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,639
Speaker 3: And my wrestling league. I'm I'm top fifteen overall.

73
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe between you, me and like Rudy, we

74
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,279
can just go College of Coaches this.

75
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,759
Speaker 3: Thing and help the Red Sox out.

76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: What if we what if we actually sent the streaminator

77
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:06,160
there to uh matter? Is a possible to send the

78
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:09,879
streaminator and the hitter tron. I mean I've I've honestly

79
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,199
I've never met them in person, but I would just

80
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,199
send the robots, right, you know. It's uh, it's actually

81
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:20,160
the I saw the Red Sox uh. So there's a

82
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:23,839
couple of funny things actually on the Red Sox uh situation,

83
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:26,560
because you know, I don't know if you saw this,

84
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:32,040
but they they sent uh to pick up the coaches.

85
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,920
They sent a party van and on the side of

86
00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:41,759
the party van it said coaches for hire. That was

87
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:46,199
that was where the Red Sox coaches where they departed

88
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,920
through They were sent away in a van that said

89
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,839
coaches for hire. So that's that's pretty funny. But also

90
00:05:55,079 --> 00:06:01,519
which I find humorous is the fact that Brad the

91
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:07,600
GM is possibly the worst GM of all time. And

92
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,040
because he has the U, he has the owner's ear.

93
00:06:13,199 --> 00:06:17,879
I'm assuming so he's like probably saying to Henry, like

94
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,000
John Henry that is, He's probably like, yeah, I mean,

95
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,120
I mean, our team should be better. It's it's gotta

96
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:31,839
be Cora. Yeah, man, that's yeah. Yeah, it's totally Alex

97
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,920
Cora's fault. Why the Red Sox are losing. I mean,

98
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,680
you know Alex Cora and his in his defense, I mean,

99
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,920
not his defense, but he got fired on Saturday, and

100
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,959
I believe he saw this coming on Friday. He got

101
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:54,920
an alert on his Apple Watch, so he knew. Yeah.

102
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:57,720
But Bresla, I mean the fact that anytime a GM

103
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,439
is like so awful, you know that they're in the

104
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:05,160
owner's ear being like, yeah, it's the manager, man, it's

105
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,920
the manager. It's not us. It's not we're good. You

106
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:12,399
are buying players that are good, and I'm I'm going

107
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:16,040
out and spending your money in a in a thoughtful manner.

108
00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:21,879
It's the manager, man, Sure, sure it is, okay, it's uh.

109
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:22,399
Speaker 3: It was.

110
00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:25,319
Speaker 1: It was Joe Maddam's fault, and then Phil Davin's fault,

111
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,319
and then Ron Washington's fault and then Kurtsuzuki's.

112
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:30,759
Speaker 3: This is this is the Angels.

113
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: This is just another terrible team, maybe the only team

114
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:35,720
with a worsh GM in all of baseball.

115
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:38,079
Speaker 3: I just I just felt like I needed to mention.

116
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 4: I like Angels as we record this on Sunday, uh

117
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,480
in a in a not a not a first time

118
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:50,199
but maybe the first time, possibly first time I recording

119
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:53,360
this on Sunday, and the Angels actually just came out

120
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:54,000
and said.

121
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 5: That they are d FAG Jordan Romano, do you know

122
00:07:59,399 --> 00:08:03,360
how are Bulls an organization has to be to DFA

123
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,560
A guy that you called your closer three days ago.

124
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: That's crazy. That's like, that's like, that's worse than anything

125
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,120
the Rockies have ever done. If you're calling someone a

126
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,959
closer and three days later you're like, you know what,

127
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:20,879
you're not even good enough to be on our team. Ah,

128
00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:22,040
that's nuts.

129
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: It is. It's it's kind of ridiculous. It's absolutely crazy.

130
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,279
Speaker 1: Well, we'll obviously get into the replacements for the Angels

131
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:36,279
at the end of the show.

132
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: When we sacked off.

133
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: Needless say, I don't I don't really think either of

134
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,200
us are overally interested in anybody there.

135
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:43,399
Speaker 3: But we will get into.

136
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: That somebody that's you're very interested in Gray, somebody that

137
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,679
we you've forced me to talk about every every week.

138
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,480
Every week he's added to the notes. Whether I put

139
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:57,600
him there or not. Did heer fintess finally got his

140
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:04,759
start and Dan abruptly gave up forward in three innings

141
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,799
and was sent back down.

142
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and that's why I'm not the GM for

143
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:19,320
the Braves. Yeah, I mean he obviously he wasn't great,

144
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,080
but I mean I would have just kept him around.

145
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:27,440
I don't know, man, I mean I understand, like it

146
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:32,879
wasn't the best start anyone's ever seen. Obviously, someone who JR. Ritchie,

147
00:09:32,919 --> 00:09:35,840
who will talk about in a second, obviously was better

148
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,120
and deserved to stay in the rotation. But I would

149
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:45,440
have kept Flints over Perez for over Martine Perez for

150
00:09:45,519 --> 00:09:50,919
another start until Strider returned, like at least see Flente's

151
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:57,360
for another start. But yeah, that didn't happen, so unfortunately, Yeah,

152
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,799
FLA's got sent down, So he's he's basically a drop

153
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,399
in most mixed leagues. I mean, you can't wait around

154
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:08,279
for him to return. I do think he will return

155
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,679
at some point. I mean who knows when though he

156
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:14,080
could return as far as you know, he could return

157
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,279
in two weeks, or he could or he could return

158
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,879
in two months. I mean, no one has any idea

159
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:21,399
when he's in return. I think it's a it's probably

160
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,240
up to whether or not. You know, the Dodgers, excuse me,

161
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,440
the brains stay healthy and uh, you know how well

162
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:34,840
the guys in the rotation. Do you know Strider will return?

163
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,840
Rainaldo Lopez got bumped, so Strida will return, and I'm

164
00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:44,960
assuming they'll go to a sixth man or Martin Perez

165
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,919
will get bumped or d F eight or I mean

166
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:52,320
Martin Perez shouldn't even be on the he shouldn't be

167
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:56,519
on the team. But yeah, I mean Flante's is I

168
00:10:56,879 --> 00:10:59,200
still like Flante's. I mean, I'm not gonna you know,

169
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,840
I'm not gonna say it was the best of starts, obviously,

170
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,720
but I still like. I mean, he still looks good,

171
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,039
like he's striking out what I think he struck out

172
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,120
seven and in three was it? I don't know, something

173
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:14,919
like that. It was like I think it was, yeah,

174
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,960
seven strikeouts and three innings. I mean it's that's good, right.

175
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:21,960
I mean, of course you want to see him like

176
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:25,039
five plus and not give up as many. You're in runs,

177
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,519
of course, but I mean seven strikeouts and three innings.

178
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:30,399
You don't, you know, you don't roll out of bed

179
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,759
and strike out seven guys in three innings if you're

180
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:34,360
not like, if you're not nothing.

181
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is just pens kind of what

182
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,360
happens in between those those seven strikeouts. Sometimes, Oh he didn't.

183
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:46,559
He didn't have a lot of walks. That's good to see.

184
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:48,519
The walks have been a problem that the control has

185
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,159
been an issue. Just uh, you know, not not the

186
00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:55,240
best nights for him. I'm sure there will be better

187
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,360
days to come for for Diny Flintz.

188
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: I don't know when that will be.

189
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, you're I know, you're your trashy marching pess.

190
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,519
He does have a two seventy RA and an nine

191
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:10,720
to four whip at the current moment that is extremely

192
00:12:10,799 --> 00:12:13,639
lucky as a sub two hundred babbit and an eighty

193
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,679
six percent left on base for for marketing prez, which

194
00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:20,519
is pretty ridiculous. But with those numbers, be very hard

195
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,519
for the brands just to DFA even tell him he's

196
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,360
not he's not worthy of being on their roster.

197
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 4: That would be something that would be honestly, that would

198
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,799
be hilarious if a major league team was like, we're

199
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:38,240
dfaying this guy with a one something in the array

200
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:43,600
because his peripherals don't look good. Can you imagine you

201
00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:47,320
imagine wal Wise being like, yeah, I mean he sure

202
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,559
he had a two and a half array, but do

203
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:54,399
you know what his ex fip was. I mean, come on, yeah, okay,

204
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:56,600
like look.

205
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,519
Speaker 1: Cloth Bake Soriato has on hundred percent left on base.

206
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,919
Speaker 3: He's off obviously not going to do this. We just

207
00:13:02,039 --> 00:13:04,840
deft him so that, you know, we get ahead of

208
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:06,720
the drop. Well we did.

209
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 4: We had ahead of the regression anyway.

210
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: So what the Braves did do after they sent Didier

211
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,840
down was to call up JR. Ritchie, their other top

212
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,440
pitching prospect. He had a better start. He went seven innings.

213
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,240
You know, he looked good. They've said he's staying up

214
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,120
for the time being. What is your thoughts here on

215
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:32,519
j R.

216
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,759
Speaker 3: Ritchie? Are you grabbing him across the board?

217
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,519
Speaker 1: You know, as you mentioned, they're they're kind of full

218
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,879
on starters once they get healthy. But at the moment,

219
00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:45,159
you know, he will be in the starting rotation. They've

220
00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:47,360
said they're not sure what they will do when they

221
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,480
are healthy, whether he will be in the rotation, whether

222
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:52,639
he will go to the bullpen or potentially back to

223
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:54,120
the minors to stay stretched out.

224
00:13:54,799 --> 00:13:56,519
Speaker 3: So it is a little bit of a guessing game.

225
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,919
But what are your thoughts in the current moment?

226
00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:03,519
Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, So it's you know, it's honestly, it's kind

227
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,879
of interesting to be doing this podcast on a Sunday

228
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,480
versus a Monday, because we don't have the U, we

229
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:12,360
don't have the fab results that we usually have. I

230
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,039
bid on Richie. I didn't bid aggressively. I think I

231
00:14:17,159 --> 00:14:19,559
put in like I want to say, thirty seven to

232
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:24,240
forty seven dollars in a that's in a thousand dollars fab,

233
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,559
so you know, roughly three to five dollars. I I

234
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,200
don't mind like the flyer on him. I do wonder

235
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:35,720
like I like him, Like I like everything about him.

236
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,919
You know, Tripaa looks great. He was a you know,

237
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,120
well regarded prospect. There's nothing to not like about his profile.

238
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,919
The only thing is, like what the deal is with

239
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,519
the rotation because you know, like I was saying before Fuentes,

240
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:55,279
like Spencer Strider is gonna return at some point, Martin

241
00:14:55,399 --> 00:15:03,440
Perez is there and doing well as you you know, Richie.

242
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:06,440
I mean, if they went to a six man rotation,

243
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,360
it wouldn't shock me if Richie is like, you know,

244
00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:15,279
if Richie gets hit around in uh in his next start,

245
00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:19,480
maybe maybe he gets sent back down, maybe he goes

246
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:20,360
to the bullpen.

247
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:21,799
Speaker 2: Uh.

248
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: You know that's after Strider returns, obviously. So yeah, I

249
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:29,200
mean it's kind of I don't know. I mean, I

250
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,279
have no idea what's gonna happen with Richie. I don't think.

251
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,519
I don't think the Braves even know what's gonna happen

252
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:35,960
with Ritchie because it's a matter of whether or not

253
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,440
if he pitches well. I find it hard to believe

254
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,840
they're not gonna find room for him in the rotation.

255
00:15:43,879 --> 00:15:47,159
But if he's like, you know, if he has a

256
00:15:47,159 --> 00:15:51,039
a mediocre to bad start next time out and Strider returns,

257
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:53,679
Richie could be out of it. He could be out

258
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,960
of the rotation potentially, Like it's not send Stone that

259
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,120
he has to stay in the rotation. So yes, So,

260
00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:04,799
like my fan bids kind of point too, I'm I'm

261
00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:06,919
kind of if he on whether or not he's actually

262
00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:10,519
gonna stay up and in the rotation, if he does great,

263
00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:13,720
if he's you know, like, if he pitches well next

264
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,720
time out and continues to pitch well and stays in

265
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,360
the rotation, you could possibly be getting a solid like

266
00:16:21,679 --> 00:16:26,600
number uh two to three starter, Like he is very good.

267
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:28,480
It's just a matter of whether or not he is

268
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:31,279
going to you know, be around so we'll see. I

269
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,600
like him, though, I think uh, I think the biggest

270
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:38,320
issue is probably gonna be what his rest of the

271
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,519
season like innings are going to look like. You know,

272
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:44,200
as soon as he moves to the bullpen, he's going

273
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:47,200
to become dropable in mixed leagues. So you don't want

274
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,799
to go too aggressive with him. But if he's you know,

275
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,200
if if the the the off chance that he stays

276
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:58,759
in the rotation and pitches well, I think you gotta

277
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,279
you gotta at least bit on. You got to at

278
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,600
least be aggressively going after him.

279
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I mean, I don't think I'm spending

280
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,440
necessarily like I think somewhere under ten percent. I think

281
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,920
that you know, you said in the same area, somewhere

282
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,400
under ten percent is what you would throw on him.

283
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,759
As you mentioned, he's he's a very good pitching prospect.

284
00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:22,559
Everything looks good on him. It is just a matter

285
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:25,680
of whether he stays in the rotation. You know, I

286
00:17:25,759 --> 00:17:27,880
put bids on him in all my leagues. I think

287
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,400
I'm in like the you know, out of a thousand,

288
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,359
I'm like the seventy dollars range. So you know, I

289
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,440
could use him if if I grab him. If not,

290
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,559
if somebody wants to spend up, it won't be the

291
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,319
end of the world either. Let's move on to you know,

292
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,440
some guys, we're a month end of the season. Let's

293
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:47,839
let's do some check ups here. Make sure the sky

294
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,519
is not falling gray for some of these early round

295
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,640
players that are struggling to start with some of the

296
00:17:56,319 --> 00:17:59,000
low home run guys. You know, we're just waiting from

297
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:01,799
the gate on board with the our at the top

298
00:18:01,839 --> 00:18:05,160
of that list, Bobby Wood Junior, who actually has one today,

299
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,440
as you mentioned, we're talking on Sunday. He had one today,

300
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,480
But twenty seven games, he has one hundred and twenty

301
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,160
plate appearances, he has nine stolen bases.

302
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,039
Speaker 3: He's in in two eighty eight, three sixty seven, three

303
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:15,799
seventy five.

304
00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:19,079
Speaker 1: All that's fine, except that he has that one home

305
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,519
run that he had today, any thoughts here on BWJNYH.

306
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know this is actually so last year, if

307
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,000
people remember, the Orioles said that they were moving their

308
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:38,640
fences in. So I got extremely excited about Gunner Henderson,

309
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,680
as you know many people did. I would, I think,

310
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,079
and he went on to have pretty terrible year. Now

311
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,240
this year, the Royals went on record as saying they're

312
00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:57,799
moving their fences in, and so far my Bobby Wood Junior,

313
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:05,640
Vinnie Pascatino, and Jack cagleone hasn't been the best. I

314
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,079
don't know what's going on. I was expecting Kansas City

315
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,359
to play like it was Mexico City.

316
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,319
Speaker 3: It's not.

317
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:19,279
Speaker 4: It's really really been awful. I got it, you know,

318
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,160
as you mentioned with Bobby wit Junior, I mean the

319
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,559
underlying numbers look fine. I have to assume he's going

320
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,160
to be better than this. I have to. I mean,

321
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:32,039
I'm not trading him for thirty cents on the dollar.

322
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:36,880
Like he looks. I mean he looks fine under the hood,

323
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:40,599
like everything is in line. He's walking a decent amount.

324
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,680
I mean he's he's stealing a bunch of bags. If

325
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,200
he can get hot for power, I mean, we could

326
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,480
get exactly what we you know that that twenty twenty

327
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:57,400
homer forty steel season with you know, hitting three twenty.

328
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,960
It's still out there, it's still POSSI but yeah, I mean,

329
00:20:02,039 --> 00:20:04,119
obviously it's not the way you want to start. You

330
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,960
don't want to you don't want to get through almost

331
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:09,359
uh you know, a month of games and we're actually

332
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,720
I think it is over a month now, like a month,

333
00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:15,039
a month of games and you have like one homer

334
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,880
on the year. It's just miserable. It's been awful. I honestly,

335
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,200
I I'm struggling in a bunch of leagues because of

336
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,920
the guys that were the next Bobby Wood Junior and

337
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,119
the next guy we're going to talk about it. I

338
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,279
have them in multiple leagues and is not has not

339
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,160
been great. Uh I have I have one league where

340
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,480
Bobbywood Junior and uh more Comedy and I'm like, I

341
00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:44,119
look at more comedy hitting home run after a home run,

342
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,160
and I'm like, why am I not doing better? In power?

343
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:50,359
And then I see Bobbywood Juniors just like he's like

344
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,119
sitting there. I Bobbywood Junior's basically become Chandler Simpson, Like

345
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,640
I don't want I don't want another channel I have

346
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:03,559
that I don't even know one. So yeah, I hope

347
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:07,599
he starts hitting for power. Everything looks good. If anything,

348
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,160
maybe you can I don't know. After his home run

349
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,640
on Sunday at the price probably went up a little bit,

350
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,240
but maybe you can do a quick buy low. Maybe

351
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:17,359
I don't know. I would.

352
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can get Bobby Witt at any

353
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,920
kind of by low, I absolutely would do it. As

354
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,880
you mentioned, all the underlying numbers look fine, by ball,

355
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,119
ground ball, line line drive, all in line, hard hit,

356
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,880
average eggs willstley look fine. It's just a matter of time.

357
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,000
I would absolutely buy low on Bobby Wit. Your teams will.

358
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 3: Come around, and yes, I'm with you.

359
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't been in a few leagues auction league,

360
00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:44,680
so you know, when you spend a lot of money

361
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,559
in an auction league on a player, you do need

362
00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:50,680
them to perform. I spent Bobby Wit and Otani in

363
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,640
a mixed league, so I just it would be great

364
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,559
to think it both form like top three picks on

365
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:56,759
the offensive side.

366
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 3: Otherwise, so Tani may have to get moved to the

367
00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,200
pitching side.

368
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: That'd be the weirdest thing I've ever done in my life.

369
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,440
Next to the other guy who you mentioned is ruining

370
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,160
some of your teams, and that is Fernando Tatis Junior.

371
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,200
Twenty six games, one hundred and thirteen played appearances, no

372
00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:17,039
home runs, six dolen bases, nine runs twelve over real eyes,

373
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:20,119
he's hitting two fifty three point thirty two ninety two.

374
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,440
He is a twenty five point seven percent strikeout rate,

375
00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:26,000
ten point six percent walk rate. The k rate is

376
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,440
up a little bit, but the swinging strike looks like

377
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:32,759
it's in line. What are your thoughts here on Tatis.

378
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,839
Speaker 4: I just looked at uh. I just looked at it.

379
00:22:35,839 --> 00:22:39,880
I just opened the stackcast page, and uh, he is

380
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,039
one hundred percent hard hit. He's the he's the number

381
00:22:44,079 --> 00:22:48,039
one hard hit guy in in the major leagues. That's interesting,

382
00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:54,519
top one percent for hard hit. Yeah, I you know,

383
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,680
I've I think. So here's what here's my thoughts on Tatis.

384
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:02,160
I think I think he's probably going to be okay,

385
00:23:02,519 --> 00:23:08,359
because I mean, he does get hot, and I think

386
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,880
I think he's going to be all right. But I

387
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,079
am like the launch angle does concern me because like

388
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,200
Bobby Witt Junior, like he was, he was still hitting

389
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:22,079
balls in the air. I don't I don't know if

390
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:28,799
I can say that about frand his battered ball profile

391
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,119
is I don't. It's not exactly what you want to see.

392
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,680
So it's uh, you know, it's it's up from last

393
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,319
year as ground balls, and his ground balls were already

394
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:41,960
pretty high for a guy you want some power from.

395
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,039
Right now, his ground balls are at fifty percent ground

396
00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:49,160
ball rate, which is really awful. His launch angle is

397
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:54,039
under four so kind of it's still a little bit

398
00:23:54,079 --> 00:23:57,839
early for some of those things. But you know, the

399
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:03,200
strikeouts are up, walks are down. It doesn't look good.

400
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,279
You know, the balls he is hitting, like I mentioned,

401
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:10,759
with the hard hit, the balls are you know, hitting,

402
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:13,480
The ones he's hitting are coming off the bat hard,

403
00:24:13,559 --> 00:24:17,160
So that's good. But there's a lot of stuff to

404
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,680
be worried about with Tatis Junior. And I honestly like

405
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,680
I have him in leagues where I can't move him.

406
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,440
But if I were in a league with trading, I

407
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:31,000
might take seventy five cents on the dollar for Fernando

408
00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:34,400
Tattists Junior. I don't know if I'd necessarily be buying low.

409
00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:37,160
I'm I'm a little concerned.

410
00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a little bit concerned as well with the

411
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,599
As you mentioned, the launch angle is concerning.

412
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,759
Speaker 3: It's under four degrees, which is, you know, essentially hitting

413
00:24:49,799 --> 00:24:54,559
the ball into the ground. And you know, the fly

414
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,200
ball rate.

415
00:24:55,319 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get like the low launch angle, but then

416
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:02,359
they still launch and like the fly balls just aren't there.

417
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:06,000
He's at a twenty seven percent fly ball that's bottom

418
00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:07,920
fifteen in the majors right now.

419
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,319
Speaker 3: And in flyball rate.

420
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean he's never been a huge, like fifty percent

421
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,799
fly ball guy, but this is this.

422
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:16,799
Speaker 3: Is low even for him.

423
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm taking seventy five cents dollars,

424
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:25,000
but if I could move him for equal or you know,

425
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,480
ninety cents, I think I would do that. I just,

426
00:25:29,559 --> 00:25:32,359
you know, enjoy having that possibility.

427
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 4: There would you do Junior Cameniro for tatis Uh?

428
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 3: No? I don't think I will.

429
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 4: What about Jackson Cheerio?

430
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:46,559
Speaker 5: No?

431
00:25:46,759 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 3: We still have any seen Chario. I still don't know

432
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,640
when we're going to see Chario. I told you before

433
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,000
the show.

434
00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 1: I was offered Cheerio for James Wood in the RCL

435
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:56,440
at the very beginning of the season.

436
00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 3: I should have I should have clicked yes, yeah you

437
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,000
should Yeah, I should have one.

438
00:26:04,079 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: A rare play of times where you should absolutely accept

439
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,720
the train at the beginning the season.

440
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:18,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, totally to tease or uh, you're you're better.

441
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,160
You're better at either words than I am. You know what,

442
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,640
that's your job, You're the host.

443
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: Would you rather have to tease? Or C. J Abrams?

444
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,039
Speaker 1: Oh see, people get on me every time I rank him,

445
00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:36,559
every year you are at this, I would, I would, actually, honestly,

446
00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:37,079
I would take C.

447
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 4: J Abrams.

448
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: Cj Abrams is so good if people still still hate

449
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,880
on him because his exit velocity is not not elite,

450
00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:47,240
he is. He is very good. Gray.

451
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so if you're taking c. J Abrams, let's see,

452
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:57,200
would you take would you take more comy? I mean

453
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,839
that's a complete change in value, Like where comedy was

454
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,400
like a two hundred and eighty B now he's like

455
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,880
a top twenty on a play Raider.

456
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 4: No, right after I right after I tell you you're

457
00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:10,079
good at these and you do. But I have to

458
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,319
and you give me more comedy Now we have.

459
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,079
Speaker 1: To we have to level it in Gray, I have

460
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,319
to make sure you haven't lost your mind here.

461
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 4: You know, would would I take Why didn't you say?

462
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:27,000
Would I take Abner Uribay and Nick Martinez. I mean,

463
00:27:27,039 --> 00:27:29,559
come on, man, I like more commedy.

464
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: I'm not okay, okay, okay, okay.

465
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean you know they were kind of going right

466
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,480
next to each other in draft season. I know you

467
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:39,839
already had a preference, so I'm assuming I know where

468
00:27:39,839 --> 00:27:41,359
you're going. But Ellie are Tatis?

469
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,519
Speaker 4: Oh oh, Elie? For sure? Of course, of course that

470
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:51,200
one's uh tattoos other strugglers tattoo.

471
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: What about Gunner because it was going clearly after Tatis.

472
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 4: People are complaining about Gunner because his average isn't doing

473
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,880
that well, but he's pays for like a fifty home

474
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,799
or twenty steel season. I would take Gunner for sure. No,

475
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:06,240
he was.

476
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,599
Speaker 3: Basically doing what you thought JA was gonna do.

477
00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:13,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, yeah No. Jeff Chisholm, Actually, what's

478
00:28:13,079 --> 00:28:15,799
the funny thing is everyone heard him say I'm gonna

479
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:18,240
do a fifty to fifty season, But what he said

480
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,559
was I'm Gunner Henderson and I'm gonna do a fifty

481
00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:26,519
fifty season. He was actually predicting someone else in season else.

482
00:28:27,279 --> 00:28:33,799
He was predicting someone else's life Tatis or Jay Rod.

483
00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:36,079
Speaker 3: See that's a good I will take.

484
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: I'll take Julio, just because we know, we know exactly

485
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,319
what Julio's.

486
00:28:40,799 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 3: Game plan is. He's he sleeps through the cold months.

487
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:45,160
He's a bear.

488
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: He hibernates, and then as soon as he gets warm,

489
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,480
he comes out and he just smashes everything in sight.

490
00:28:51,279 --> 00:28:54,079
You know, I I know that's gonna happen, Whereas I

491
00:28:54,119 --> 00:28:56,319
will say with Tatis right now, I don't know that

492
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,400
he's not gonna have, you know, YONDI d ys season

493
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,279
this year where he just beats the ball into the

494
00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:06,839
ground all year, even like a Christian yellow season, which

495
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,119
is good to sell it season, It's not quite what

496
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,000
you were drafting.

497
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 4: For Nando Tatis for no, No, it's it's not I agree.

498
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: Would you take Julio or would you rather have I was.

499
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,599
Speaker 4: Just thinking if what if Julio Rodriguez got traded to

500
00:29:22,599 --> 00:29:25,359
the Padres and he was like warm weather in April,

501
00:29:28,279 --> 00:29:32,799
I would take I would take Jay Rod absolutely. No

502
00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:36,480
Tatis for me is falling. Like I said, seventy five

503
00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:38,920
cents on the dollar, j Rod, I'm still at one

504
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:39,680
hundred percent.

505
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,559
Speaker 3: Okay, So I mean you're you're you're fully in still

506
00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:46,200
on j Rod.

507
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: That's good for the people listening to now I know

508
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:51,240
that there's some commentaris who are panicking on some other

509
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:53,920
top guys we haven't quite talked about here because they're

510
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:58,039
not like demolishing your team mad, But uh yeah, I

511
00:29:58,839 --> 00:29:59,880
fine fine with Jay Rod.

512
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,119
Speaker 4: Would absolutely take him is terrible. Kunya hasn't been good.

513
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,079
I would take a Kunya though before Tis.

514
00:30:09,279 --> 00:30:11,759
Speaker 1: Would you take uh? And this is I feel like

515
00:30:11,759 --> 00:30:13,839
this is hard before you because you love him? Would

516
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,039
you take ord On over all these guys?

517
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,039
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, I would take your over hey, over

518
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,559
all these guys. I would take him over Tatis. I

519
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:25,000
don't know which other guys you're talking about.

520
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:28,279
Speaker 3: Tatis, Julio. I'm not gonna put Bobby win In, that's ridiculous.

521
00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 4: I would take I would take Bobby Bobby Witt. So

522
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:40,039
I just rank him real fast, Bobby Wit Jay Rod Urdon, Uh, Tatis.

523
00:30:41,519 --> 00:30:43,759
My only problem with yourd On is we've seen this

524
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,359
before and then he like he is oblique, goes sideways

525
00:30:48,559 --> 00:30:51,640
and he misses like, you know, two months. I mean

526
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,880
he has never had a full season, right, I mean

527
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,519
we we've seen this before your.

528
00:30:56,559 --> 00:30:58,519
Speaker 1: One hundred and forty seven and one hundred and forty

529
00:30:58,559 --> 00:30:59,920
four in different seasons.

530
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:00,279
Speaker 4: So that.

531
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:02,559
Speaker 3: I mean, I would I would call that a full season.

532
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,839
Speaker 4: Yeah that's fine, right, Yeah, no, I agree, it's been

533
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,240
it's been a minute, but yeah no, I like, hey,

534
00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:10,880
I love Jordon. Don't get me wrong. I still put

535
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,920
him in front of the tatis. But I would take

536
00:31:13,079 --> 00:31:16,920
j Rod gets hot and you know he always goes

537
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,599
thirty thirty even though he doesn't play in April. That's

538
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:21,119
pretty good.

539
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, the worst part is you can't take

540
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,160
him out of your lineup even in April, because you

541
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,640
know he could just smash three home runs and steal

542
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,359
all base or two in a game, and you're just like,

543
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,359
I'll just eat the two twenty with with nothing going on. Yeah,

544
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,920
Jordon's been amazing and he's three games from getting outfield eligibility.

545
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:44,119
Speaker 3: That was that was the easiest, easiest pick of all time.

546
00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about a guy who was not an

547
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,920
easy pick and still is probably just making it harder

548
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,720
and harder to decide where he belongs, honestly, and that

549
00:31:54,839 --> 00:31:57,400
is my boy. Pete Crow Armstrong twenty four games, one

550
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,200
hundred and eleven played appearance is a home run on

551
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:03,839
basis sixteen runs, seven RBIs. He's sitting two thirty five

552
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,160
two ninety one three fourteen k raid is up to

553
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:13,119
thirty point six percent five point four percent walk rate. Well,

554
00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:15,759
tell the PCA owners what what they can expect the.

555
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 4: Rest of the season here, Gray, Well, I'll tell PCA

556
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,400
just like I'll tell PCA's owners just like I told

557
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,400
PCA for the twenty five minutes I was at the

558
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:32,880
Dodger game yesterday. Boomoo, I told you not to draft them.

559
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:40,160
Boom boomoo, I boo you for drafting them. I told

560
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,799
you don't draft them. I said it perfectly clear. I

561
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:49,759
was perfectly clear, do not draft PCA. He's got problems.

562
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,880
I don't see I don't see anything good in his line. Really,

563
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:00,400
to be honest, I feel like if we get like

564
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:06,279
a twelve to fifteen homer thirty steal, because he's still

565
00:33:06,279 --> 00:33:12,319
has steals twelve to fifteen homers thirty steals two forty five,

566
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,640
I would I would be more than I would be

567
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,440
more than excited for that line. If I had PCA,

568
00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:20,799
I'd be like that would be like, I feel like

569
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,440
that's where you're at at this point. You know, at

570
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,880
some I would guess he's gonna get hots at some point,

571
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,279
but you know, like I said in the preseason, he's

572
00:33:32,359 --> 00:33:38,000
got the the stink of like the Keaston. Herrera looks

573
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:43,119
great on paper, but could fall into such a terrible

574
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,960
slump where it's almost like they wanted they wanted demote

575
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,640
him to like try and get his head right because

576
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,519
his strikeouts are concerning, and they've been concerning for a while.

577
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,960
I you know, I don't have anything really good to

578
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,680
say about PCA, to be totally honest. It's not just

579
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,599
because he was bagging on the Dodger fans. I think

580
00:34:05,079 --> 00:34:09,800
I think he's got real issues in his profile. So yeah,

581
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,960
I would if I could get draft value back, I

582
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,360
would be trading him in a second. But I don't

583
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,280
you know, I wouldn't have drafted him. Actually, it's a

584
00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:23,800
funny story, is I accidentally did draft him in an

585
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,880
auction league. I did. I did, possibly screw myself, but

586
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,519
that's okay, you know what, I take d l there.

587
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,679
I didn't want him. I thought people would be bidding

588
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,840
him up. I got stuck with him, but that's fine,

589
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,039
you know what I You know, things happened.

590
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, a great we uh we we all get stuck

591
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:50,679
in in auctions, you know, trying to trying to price

592
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,199
and force and then and then getting stuck with guys.

593
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,440
I know it happened to a couple of places this year,

594
00:34:57,039 --> 00:34:59,360
and uh yeah, just gotta just gotta deal with it

595
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:04,280
and figure it out throughout the season. Yeah, it's the

596
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,360
same issue. He's having problems with the outside the high fastball.

597
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,239
He can't lay off it and he can't hit it.

598
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:16,199
And he's always struggled with the outside low. That's everybody.

599
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,480
Everybody struggles outside low, that's just the general batting thing.

600
00:35:20,039 --> 00:35:22,360
But he has to get over the outside high and.

601
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,119
Speaker 3: He just is not doing it. He's still swinging, he's

602
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:26,480
still missing, and it's not swinging.

603
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,039
Speaker 1: He's not swinging quite as much as he was at

604
00:35:29,079 --> 00:35:31,000
the end of second half or the second half of

605
00:35:31,039 --> 00:35:32,280
last year at them.

606
00:35:32,639 --> 00:35:35,519
Speaker 3: But it's it's just not good. He is still hitting

607
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:36,079
the ball hard.

608
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:38,639
Speaker 1: The launch angle's fine, So that gives me at least

609
00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:41,000
a little bit of hope that he just has to

610
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,079
fix this gap. But a gap is something that's really

611
00:35:45,119 --> 00:35:48,320
hard to fix in season Gray, So yeah.

612
00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:50,559
Speaker 4: I was surprised. I was kind of surprised that they

613
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:54,639
gave him a long term deal. I was, honestly, I

614
00:35:54,679 --> 00:35:58,320
was kind of surprised because I mean, his numbers they

615
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,400
don't seem like the kind of you know, I mean

616
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:04,480
real baseball. So he's good on defense, even though he

617
00:36:04,599 --> 00:36:09,679
looked terrible yesterday in the outfield. He misplayed a one

618
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:13,119
fly ball really poorly. But anyway, I mean, I guess,

619
00:36:13,199 --> 00:36:16,679
you know, for defense, and there's other things that can

620
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,360
help with with real baseball. So maybe they wanted to

621
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,840
lock him in for a long term deal. But I

622
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,760
was kind of surprised they gave him the deal they

623
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,840
gave him.

624
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know they offered him something last

625
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,440
season in the middle of all of everything to see

626
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,360
if they could get him.

627
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 3: I mean, they're essentially getting him for two extra seasons.

628
00:36:38,119 --> 00:36:39,159
I don't hate the deal.

629
00:36:39,199 --> 00:36:42,599
Speaker 1: I have a little surprise they went ahead and continued

630
00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:47,039
to try and grab him after he declined that the

631
00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:51,239
initial deal. You know, as a Cubs fan, it's fine.

632
00:36:51,639 --> 00:36:53,599
We've had We've had worst deals on the Bucks. Start

633
00:36:53,639 --> 00:36:54,400
a million by the.

634
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 4: Time, honestly though, we can Yeah, know, you guys have

635
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,079
had worse deals. For sure. We should get to the

636
00:37:01,079 --> 00:37:03,320
next guy because we can both do a victory lap

637
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:03,760
on him.

638
00:37:04,199 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's move on to Roman Anthony, who in twenty

639
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,079
two games this year, ninety seven played appearance as a

640
00:37:10,119 --> 00:37:13,559
home run, two stone bases, eleven runs, four RBIs. He's

641
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:16,320
hitting two twenty five, three sixty one, three twenty five,

642
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,280
just under a twenty six percent strikeout rate. He does

643
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,559
have a sixteen and a half percent walk rate, which

644
00:37:21,639 --> 00:37:24,840
is nice. But uh, I mean, I'm gonna let you

645
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,199
start here. Graanty on Roman Anthony. I know we both

646
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,480
got got pushback for our ranking and preseason.

647
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,639
Speaker 4: Dude, like, what was that? You know, honestly, still in hindsight,

648
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,599
I still don't understand it, because you know what hindsight

649
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:41,400
is twenty twenty is a lie, because I still don't

650
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,360
understand the pushback I received over Roman Anthony in the

651
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,320
preseason because you look at his numbers and you take

652
00:37:49,519 --> 00:37:52,599
both of us out of the equation, and there's not

653
00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:57,800
one projection system that thinks he was gonna be good

654
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,559
for fantasy for real baseball. Sure whatever, I don't know

655
00:38:01,599 --> 00:38:05,760
who cares. I'm not playing real baseball. I'm playing fantasy.

656
00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:09,440
And I look at Roman Anthony's projections and it's like

657
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:16,159
fifteen homers, seven steals, two fifty five average. You know,

658
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,559
even if you want to be generous and give him

659
00:38:18,559 --> 00:38:25,320
two seventy five and fifteen steals twenty homers. Where he

660
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:30,400
was going in drafts was insane. It was so crazy.

661
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,639
I think, honestly, I think it was because he's handsome.

662
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,079
I'm not lying, I'm not lying, I really do. I

663
00:38:38,119 --> 00:38:40,280
think people were like, oh, he looks like a cool

664
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,719
guy to hang out with. I think if I hung

665
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,239
out with him, girls would be attracted to him and

666
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,679
I could get like, you know, leftovers or something. That's

667
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,719
my thought on the Roman Anthony situation, because it made

668
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,320
zero sense why people were drafting him as high as

669
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,400
they were drafted to meet. You and I were so

670
00:39:00,559 --> 00:39:03,360
we were so low on him. We were like, you know,

671
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,599
I'll include you too, because I wrote a schmohawk post

672
00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:09,960
about him, And I know you were like so off

673
00:39:10,039 --> 00:39:13,039
of them that you you ranked them really low. So

674
00:39:14,039 --> 00:39:16,760
you ranked them so low there is people complaining about

675
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:17,320
how low you.

676
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 3: People were like coming to you like, uh, you know

677
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,159
you a podcast.

678
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:25,039
Speaker 1: And an idiot that can't rank anybody, right, like like,

679
00:39:25,199 --> 00:39:26,840
how is how is Roman Anthony not.

680
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,039
Speaker 3: A top ten outfield? That's stupid? Like yeah, let me

681
00:39:30,039 --> 00:39:31,400
put them over your on avage.

682
00:39:31,639 --> 00:39:37,159
Speaker 1: Shut shut up out there, okayush it? Yeah, No, I

683
00:39:37,159 --> 00:39:38,760
mean I love Roman Anthony. I think it's gonna be

684
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,519
a great real life baseball player. He will hit for eventually,

685
00:39:42,519 --> 00:39:45,320
he will hit for average. He will be a solid

686
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,719
defensive player. He will get on base. Like he's gonna

687
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:49,440
do all of that.

688
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 3: Right now.

689
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: His current profile does not really support fantasy or where

690
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:56,679
he was being drafted.

691
00:39:57,159 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 4: His profile, His profile like no dis respec to Rooum

692
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,920
and Anthony and his uh his fans out there, But

693
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,559
his profile looks a lot like Andrew Benintendee if you

694
00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:12,159
know what I mean. I mean, it's not his stats

695
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:17,039
aren't aren't that different than Ben and Tendee's quite honestly.

696
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, another guy who kind of got away with it.

697
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,559
You know, it's just a decent looking dude.

698
00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 4: It's all about the handsome that's all people care about.

699
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 3: The name.

700
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,679
Speaker 1: The names helped, too, Gray, I swear the names help

701
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,599
because when you're at the draft boards, if you have

702
00:40:35,679 --> 00:40:38,719
a fun or interesting name, you will go before you're

703
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,239
supposed to. Versus if you have a terrible name or

704
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,639
a boring name or one nobody can pronounce, you will

705
00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:48,719
get married. People will marry you for no reason other

706
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,920
than They're like, I don't like this name, and I

707
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:51,639
don't know this name.

708
00:40:51,679 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 4: I'm out, like totally crazy. I know, no, no, no,

709
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,639
I I agree. I think like Elle Tomorrow, Vargas could

710
00:40:59,679 --> 00:41:03,000
be a OP ten player and people would still be like,

711
00:41:03,199 --> 00:41:04,280
I don't know what the hell that is.

712
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:08,199
Speaker 3: I don't Vargas like, I don't want to argus. You

713
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:09,519
know a good.

714
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,639
Speaker 4: Vargains ever in base tomorrow. I don't know what that is.

715
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:17,400
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sure he's a fantastic player.

716
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 6: Roman Anthony side before everybody yells at that he is

717
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,360
hitting the ball hard ninety two point seven average exit

718
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,880
ve lost forty seven point three hard hit both down

719
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,719
from last year's small sample size, but those are both

720
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,199
good numbers in regards to where they rank among other hitters.

721
00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 1: The fly ball rate twenty That sounds failiar. That's the

722
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,119
same flight ball rate that Tatisa is at. Both struggling

723
00:41:46,079 --> 00:41:49,400
launch ago really not bad on Roman Anthony's just just

724
00:41:49,519 --> 00:41:53,280
kind of bedding a little bit of blah. Yeah, that's

725
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,920
a red kurt that is contributing to the Red Sox

726
00:41:57,119 --> 00:42:00,599
just terrible start of the season and the empty ening

727
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,800
of their management. Duran Duran, who I really like this season.

728
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,760
So I will just go ahead and take the hit

729
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:11,000
on that one. Since I posted about Robin Anthony twenty

730
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,440
two games, ninety three played appearances, he's a home run

731
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:14,719
four stone basis.

732
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 3: He is hitting one ninety eight the average.

733
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,039
Speaker 1: Axs have lost the heart hit both down a non

734
00:42:22,519 --> 00:42:26,719
non minuscule mount Gray. I'm I don't love what I'm

735
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,639
seeing from Jan Duran. Please tell me there's something to

736
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,480
bring up my hopes because I have probably too many shares.

737
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know the problem with Duran, I think is

738
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:44,079
like you look at his underlying numbers and they're kind

739
00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:48,599
of similar to what they were last year, and last

740
00:42:48,679 --> 00:42:51,880
year he wasn't that good. So it's like, so there's

741
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,159
real I mean, there's some concern here. I would I

742
00:42:55,199 --> 00:42:58,920
would be concerned if I had Duran, you know, his

743
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,840
his numbers, like they kind of feel like a fifteen

744
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,960
homer Like last year he went six, he had sixteen

745
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,800
homers and stole twenty four bags and hit two fifty six.

746
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,639
I would kind of feel. I feel like he's in

747
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:19,360
line now for roughly a similar sort of year, minus

748
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,320
maybe a little bit on the average, just because it's

749
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,800
so low right now. But I do think he'll get

750
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:29,079
hot at some point, but not like I don't think

751
00:43:29,119 --> 00:43:34,599
he's ever reaching that, you know, that top fifty hitter type,

752
00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:39,679
you know, year, at least not this year. I would say,

753
00:43:40,559 --> 00:43:43,920
where was he in drafts this year? Like seventy seventy

754
00:43:44,119 --> 00:43:47,599
overall in that area. If I could get draft value,

755
00:43:47,639 --> 00:43:50,760
I would be trading him. I don't. I don't. I

756
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,480
don't have tons of great feelings on Duran. I think

757
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:55,880
the best thing that one could say for him is

758
00:43:56,519 --> 00:44:00,159
he looks sort of similar to last year, when he

759
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,679
wasn't a complete boss. Last year he was you know,

760
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:08,719
he was fine. He was he was a serviceable third outfielder.

761
00:44:09,039 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

762
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 4: And that's about as I think as good as you

763
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:13,280
can say about him.

764
00:44:14,199 --> 00:44:16,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's really when I was ranking him, that's

765
00:44:16,199 --> 00:44:17,039
all I really thought.

766
00:44:17,039 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: He you know, I didn't think he was going to

767
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,599
expand on what he did last year, needed him to

768
00:44:21,599 --> 00:44:24,159
do it again. And then right now, I'm not sure,

769
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,000
Like you said, the average isn't great, it's one month.

770
00:44:27,079 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 3: It's one month of average.

771
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,039
Speaker 1: Everybody across the board generally has in at least one

772
00:44:32,079 --> 00:44:35,800
month where their average is awful. Would we have noticed

773
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,079
that in August. I don't know, but right now I

774
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:42,559
notice it. And Jaron Duran has been not good. Let's

775
00:44:42,639 --> 00:44:46,119
would you rather have Duran or PCA. Why don't you

776
00:44:46,119 --> 00:44:48,559
just rank PCA Duran in Roman Anthony For the people

777
00:44:48,559 --> 00:44:48,800
who know.

778
00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:55,920
Speaker 4: Uh, I would go PCA Duran then Roman Anthony. My,

779
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,880
you know, my big problem with Roman Anthony is he

780
00:45:00,199 --> 00:45:03,719
if he's good, he's not great for fantasy. Like it's

781
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,159
sort of like a similar problem I have with like

782
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,320
Jackson Holiday, Like even if they're like really good, their

783
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,840
fantasy value is kind of iffy. So I you know,

784
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:19,199
if PCA is really good, he's gonna have great fantasy value.

785
00:45:20,159 --> 00:45:23,480
If Duran is really good, he's gonna have great fantasy value.

786
00:45:23,599 --> 00:45:26,559
If Roman Anthony is really good, he's gonna be Okay.

787
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's completely fair. And they're all they're also tied to,

788
00:45:33,159 --> 00:45:34,199
you know, the run production.

789
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony is tied to run production the most out

790
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,280
of this group because of his profile. He needs the

791
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,360
GIT and he's great runs and he's hits home runs,

792
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,719
like he needs to do those things to give us

793
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:50,599
his value, and the whole Red Sox lineup isn't hitting,

794
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,599
so it's it's also gonna bring him down as well.

795
00:45:55,079 --> 00:45:57,960
A few more names here Gray, some guys who might

796
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:02,000
be trapped in a paperbag right now, Manny Machado he

797
00:46:02,039 --> 00:46:02,960
actually heard?

798
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,519
Speaker 4: Is that a R. Kelly reference? What is trapped in

799
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:09,639
a paper you know?

800
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: Guy?

801
00:46:10,079 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 3: Guys who could hit themselves out of the paper.

802
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's nothing, Okay, Yeah.

803
00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 3: Mark Kelly? Where where are you going?

804
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:22,199
Speaker 5: Great?

805
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know. It'll always follow your your mindset.

806
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,159
So to the list.

807
00:46:29,199 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: When I was making it, as I mentioned, he had

808
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,079
two of runs today, he did not like me put

809
00:46:33,119 --> 00:46:33,719
him on the list.

810
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,119
Speaker 3: Are you concerned at all about man?

811
00:46:37,159 --> 00:46:40,800
Speaker 4: No, I'm not. I'm hoping the the trip to Mexico

812
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,280
hopefully that will wake wake up his bat and he'll

813
00:46:44,559 --> 00:46:48,480
he'll return and keep hitting homers. But yeah, I'm I

814
00:46:48,679 --> 00:46:51,199
I would be buying low on Machado if I could.

815
00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:54,639
Speaker 3: I agreed. Everything seems normal with him, just a little

816
00:46:54,639 --> 00:46:58,320
bit of a slow start. And if I recall, this

817
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,960
is not actually his first start. Is this of a pattern?

818
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,840
A little bit? Your boy?

819
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: Your boy vin Vinny p one hundred and fifteen plate apparances,

820
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,000
three home runs. He is hitting one fifty five Gray

821
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,519
twenty percent strike out rate twelve point two.

822
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 3: Percent walk rate Jesus.

823
00:47:15,079 --> 00:47:17,119
Speaker 1: Twenty percent isn't a bad strike out rate in general,

824
00:47:17,159 --> 00:47:20,960
but it's bad for him. Swinging strike late rate is

825
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,519
in line at least, so maybe the k rate equalizes eventually.

826
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,159
Speaker 3: But uh, Vinny p does not does not look like

827
00:47:29,199 --> 00:47:30,239
the guy from last year.

828
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:38,039
Speaker 4: No, he looks terrible. He looks so he looks so bad. Yeah,

829
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:41,400
I'm you know, I'm not one hundred percent concern because

830
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,639
last year he did he he didn't really get hot

831
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,679
until the second half. So I'm hoping he still has

832
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,039
like you know, he gets hot at some point and

833
00:47:51,039 --> 00:47:54,480
and still gets his stats because you know, he doesn't

834
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,719
have to he doesn't have to do a ton, but

835
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,360
he's gotta. He's gotta do something because right now it's bad,

836
00:47:59,559 --> 00:48:05,000
Like right now his numbers, like you know, it's basically

837
00:48:05,159 --> 00:48:09,039
like would you want him or Ryan O'Hearn, Like, well

838
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,760
o hearn is hitting for average. I mean it's not

839
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,519
Vinny Pascatino. It looks terrible. So I'm not for alled.

840
00:48:17,679 --> 00:48:22,000
I don't think. Yeah, I don't. I don't know if

841
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:26,039
I would take seventy five seventy five cents on the dollar,

842
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,679
but for at draft value, but I yeah, I mean,

843
00:48:29,679 --> 00:48:31,880
if someone was willing to give me draft value, I

844
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,599
would I would definitely take that.

845
00:48:35,199 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would.

846
00:48:36,159 --> 00:48:39,159
Speaker 1: I would absolutely take seventy five cents on draft value.

847
00:48:39,199 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 3: But I also kind of had.

848
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: Him right closer to that than I think a lot

849
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:45,639
of other people.

850
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 3: So I guess, would you rather have him or we're coming?

851
00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 4: Oh? Man, I'd probably I'd probably take d l and

852
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,880
just take more common me At this point, I think.

853
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:05,039
Speaker 3: I think I would Would you rather have him or Catcher? First?

854
00:49:05,079 --> 00:49:06,880
Baseman Liam Hicks?

855
00:49:07,599 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: Uh?

856
00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 4: No, I would take Pascatino hopefully?

857
00:49:12,599 --> 00:49:16,280
Speaker 3: How about about him? Or or old Man Harper?

858
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 4: I would take I would probably take Harper, to be honest,

859
00:49:22,119 --> 00:49:28,239
it was yeah, I mean Harper, uh Pascatino, I don't know.

860
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,000
I mean it's closed, but I would probably take Harper,

861
00:49:31,199 --> 00:49:31,400
you know.

862
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:38,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would too. How about Finny p or trying

863
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,719
to find a appropriate level of.

864
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 3: Equal equal?

865
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:43,599
Speaker 2: Bad?

866
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 3: But but Mitchel? How about him? Er Michael Bush? I

867
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:49,719
would both are awful.

868
00:49:50,119 --> 00:49:52,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would take Michael Bush, though I.

869
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: Would also take Michael Bush. I'm assuming that if you're

870
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,239
taking Michael Bush, you're gonna probably take Freddy Freeman and and.

871
00:50:01,679 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean.

872
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: It seemed like seems like you are maybe down on

873
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,800
vvp's value a little bit at least like an eighty

874
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,400
five percent yeah on the dollar.

875
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, if someone was giving me, Yeah, I mean someone's

876
00:50:15,559 --> 00:50:19,960
giving me Bryce Harper or you know, or Freddie Freeman.

877
00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:24,480
I mean yeah, yeah, because I'm concerned about Pascatino a

878
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:29,360
decent amount. And Pascatino has got no speed whatsoever. So

879
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,639
it's like if he's not hitting for power and average,

880
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,039
like what are we doing here?

881
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

882
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, somebody who is, Uh, we were also concerned, like

883
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,000
he's been a mixed bag, and that is Lawrence Butler.

884
00:50:42,119 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 3: To of them runs four stone bases this year.

885
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: That's fine, but he's sitting won eighty three gray with

886
00:50:46,559 --> 00:50:51,159
a twenty seven and a half percent strikeout rate. Lawrence

887
00:50:51,199 --> 00:50:54,559
Butler was a little bit of a kind of a

888
00:50:54,599 --> 00:50:57,000
mystery coming into last year. We thought we kind of

889
00:50:57,079 --> 00:51:00,320
knew what we might be getting this year, but I

890
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,559
don't know, it seems like EA sees it, it just

891
00:51:02,599 --> 00:51:03,639
gets a little bit worse.

892
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's fair. I actually I think I'd be

893
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,599
buying on Lawrence Butler. His his babb It's pretty low

894
00:51:13,199 --> 00:51:16,679
looks like he's, uh, you know, sack Town hasn't really

895
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,039
heated up completely yet from what I've heard. So yeah,

896
00:51:21,079 --> 00:51:24,000
I mean, Sacramento gets hot, he's in a it's a

897
00:51:24,039 --> 00:51:26,599
good park. He's not even he doesn't even really need

898
00:51:26,639 --> 00:51:29,559
to hit for power, like, you know, an insane amount

899
00:51:29,599 --> 00:51:34,079
of power. I mean twenty homers, chucks in twenty plus steals,

900
00:51:34,159 --> 00:51:37,920
hits two forty. Yeah, I think that's all doable. Still,

901
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:38,920
I would be buying him.

902
00:51:40,199 --> 00:51:41,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think as long as you're not

903
00:51:41,679 --> 00:51:44,440
to pay full draft cost, I would be buying.

904
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 3: As well.

905
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,800
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, he's getting a little bit unlucky. I

906
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,280
will say the only concern that I have for him

907
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,559
that is maybe legitimate is the launch angle.

908
00:51:53,639 --> 00:51:56,199
Speaker 3: Is is down to four.

909
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 1: When he first entered the league, the the you know,

910
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,280
the twenty two eighteen to sixty two season, and in

911
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,639
twenty twenty four he wasn't eleven point three launch angle.

912
00:52:06,679 --> 00:52:10,639
He's down seven degrees, which I know, if you're listening,

913
00:52:10,639 --> 00:52:12,159
you may be like, I don't know what that means.

914
00:52:12,159 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 3: Seven degrees is a huge.

915
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,079
Speaker 1: Amount in launch angle in regards to what's going on.

916
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,480
He has a fifty percent ground ball flyball is down

917
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:21,519
to twenty five percent.

918
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 3: That's my primary concern here.

919
00:52:25,559 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: You said, like, as you mentioned, he doesn't necessarily have

920
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:31,679
to eight all runs get value. But I'm worried if

921
00:52:31,679 --> 00:52:33,880
you can't lift the ball, I don't know if the

922
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,159
average is gonna get back up.

923
00:52:35,199 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 3: And the average was already pretty low.

924
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's fair he was. Also he

925
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:44,639
wasn't like that expensive at drafts, So I don't know.

926
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,920
I'm fine with Lawrence Butler, to be honest, if I

927
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,199
if I could buy him low, even because he's I

928
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,239
think he should be better than that. He's not a

929
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,679
one to eighty hitter. I don't think.

930
00:52:56,519 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's probably settled in about two twenty.

931
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: But like I said, it seems like every season it

932
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,639
just gets a little bit, takes a little bit down.

933
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 3: Would you have I'm just gonna throw out the line.

934
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:13,679
Speaker 4: Would rather him or Ian Happ oh Ian half? For sure, he's.

935
00:53:13,519 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 3: Been He's been very solid to start the season here.

936
00:53:17,039 --> 00:53:21,840
How about him? Or uh Taylor.

937
00:53:21,559 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 4: Ward Taylor Ward. I would go Taylor Ward.

938
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:35,159
Speaker 1: Okay, the opposite into the Ward of the spectrum of

939
00:53:35,199 --> 00:53:37,320
Taylor Ward, Taylor Simpson.

940
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:44,159
Speaker 4: Uh in Chandler Simpson is kind of a needs basis

941
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:47,199
kind of thing. If you need steals, then you go

942
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,400
Chandler Simpson. I'm fine, though, I would go Taylor Simpson

943
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:55,719
in most scenarios because I mean, I think he's just

944
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,320
gonna be more valuable in general.

945
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:01,519
Speaker 1: All right, and last one for oh yeah, I'm gonna

946
00:54:01,519 --> 00:54:03,840
ask these two because I feel like I the last

947
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,880
two years I have him ranked similarly.

948
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:07,639
Speaker 3: Brenton Doyle.

949
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 4: Oh, Butler for sure. Yeah. I don't want any part

950
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,280
of Doyle. I don't, Yeah, I don't. I don't buy

951
00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:18,400
him getting back to where he was. I think I

952
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,159
think Doyle's got real issues. And on top of that,

953
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,400
I don't even know if he's like the strong side

954
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,800
starter anymore. So yeah, I'm going Butler.

955
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

956
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: The split thing has me a little bit concerned on Doyle.

957
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,039
Would you be surprised to learn that he's actually above

958
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:36,719
Butler on the Player Raider?

959
00:54:37,039 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 4: Wow?

960
00:54:37,599 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: But that's how bad Butler's average has been.

961
00:54:41,119 --> 00:54:43,119
Speaker 3: I mean, what eighty three? Will just thank you?

962
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,280
Speaker 1: He also only has he has subtain and runs and

963
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:47,599
RBIs that that's awesome?

964
00:54:48,039 --> 00:54:48,280
Speaker 3: Wow?

965
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:52,679
Speaker 4: Well, just so people know out there who aren't in

966
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,599
front of a computer. Brenton Doyle is has one homer

967
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,079
six deals and is hitting two nineteen. So hasn't been

968
00:54:59,159 --> 00:54:59,880
hasn't been great.

969
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:01,679
Speaker 3: It's not being conduct if.

970
00:55:01,679 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: It's not a great thing to say that he is

971
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,639
above Lawrence Butler on the play render, it is just

972
00:55:05,679 --> 00:55:08,159
a beer fact that they are both bad and they're

973
00:55:08,199 --> 00:55:10,760
both low. Right now, I actually we'll go different. I'll

974
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,519
go Doyle on this one instead of Butler. At least

975
00:55:13,519 --> 00:55:15,719
he gets at least he gets Colorado. I know Lawrence

976
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:18,920
gets uh gets Sacramentoso. It's a little bit of a

977
00:55:19,079 --> 00:55:22,239
either or there, But I will go ahead and take Doyle. Uh,

978
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,079
if nothing else, at least the launch angle is not

979
00:55:25,119 --> 00:55:29,280
really weird on him. Let's go ahead and move to

980
00:55:29,559 --> 00:55:32,599
sagn Off it upgrade. There are some injuries to talk

981
00:55:32,639 --> 00:55:36,400
about here over in Dodgerland, over where you live. When

982
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,239
Diaz is heading to the IL, sounds like it's going

983
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,840
to be a pretty decently long stay.

984
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,559
Speaker 3: Who are you grabbing up? As is the next in

985
00:55:45,639 --> 00:55:46,079
line there?

986
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 4: Uh? You know, I think it's probably it's Tanner Scott

987
00:55:51,039 --> 00:55:56,960
for sure, or Alex Bassia maybe. So it is Tanner Scott.

988
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,119
If Tanner Scott takes the job and runs with it,

989
00:55:59,199 --> 00:56:02,719
he could be the c for the foreseeable future. But

990
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,039
if he fumbles, and he could fumble it, he could

991
00:56:07,079 --> 00:56:10,320
fumble the bag, baby, because we've seen Tanner Scott be

992
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:14,320
bad before. So if Tanner Scott's bad for a game

993
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,519
or two, and Robert's gonna have no problem going to

994
00:56:17,599 --> 00:56:23,679
Vessia or God forbid trying. So I would say Tanner

995
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:27,960
Scott could be the closer from now until Edwin Diaz returns,

996
00:56:28,599 --> 00:56:32,480
or he could fumble it by Thursday and Vessia could

997
00:56:32,519 --> 00:56:36,360
be in there getting saves. So I would go Tanner

998
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,559
Scott and I would probably handcuff him with Vessia for now.

999
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's those are the two I would go with.

1000
00:56:43,199 --> 00:56:45,159
Speaker 1: I know we always throw China in here, and he

1001
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,000
even like an every list in every place you look,

1002
00:56:48,039 --> 00:56:50,719
he's gonna be added as as like the third guy,

1003
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,360
I would not pick up, like Tina.

1004
00:56:54,119 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 3: I don't want him. He's terrible. He will kill your

1005
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:58,920
whip if not also your e O.

1006
00:57:00,119 --> 00:57:03,519
Speaker 1: I would rather take a shot on like Will kleinb

1007
00:57:04,039 --> 00:57:10,400
or Jack Dreyer or Justin Robleski, like literally anybody else

1008
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:11,400
in the Dodgers' bullpen.

1009
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 3: I would rather have on my roster.

1010
00:57:14,159 --> 00:57:15,679
Speaker 4: He's actually pitching very well.

1011
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 3: He's been phenomenal.

1012
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 4: But for but for what you're saying though on that

1013
00:57:21,559 --> 00:57:24,880
in my NL only league, I did pick up Will

1014
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,480
Kline because I skipped over trying and I and for

1015
00:57:29,679 --> 00:57:32,840
exactly the reasons you're saying. Tanner Scott and Vessia were

1016
00:57:33,119 --> 00:57:36,559
rostered already, so they weren't even options. I skipped trying

1017
00:57:36,559 --> 00:57:38,840
it and I went with Will Cleine just on the

1018
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:43,079
outside chance that you know, uh, because if if Scott

1019
00:57:43,159 --> 00:57:47,559
and Vessia both well, if Scott's not the guy VESSI

1020
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:52,800
they like Vessia in earlier innings, and Tryining is terrible.

1021
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:58,880
So by that rationale, Will Klein could see possibilities, but

1022
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,679
he needs other things to happen. He needs Tanner Scott

1023
00:58:01,719 --> 00:58:02,880
to screw up.

1024
00:58:03,639 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the reason I even.

1025
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: Throw Jack Dryer in there is because they gave him

1026
00:58:07,039 --> 00:58:09,360
saves at the end of last season and he's been

1027
00:58:09,599 --> 00:58:11,599
he's been good for you know, a season and a half.

1028
00:58:11,679 --> 00:58:13,679
Speaker 4: Man agreed all right.

1029
00:58:13,719 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: Over in Atlanta, Rice e Iglesia sends to the I

1030
00:58:16,599 --> 00:58:18,760
L I feel like there's a clear closer here, But

1031
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:19,599
what do you think?

1032
00:58:20,159 --> 00:58:23,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it's definitely it's Roberts Swarez. Absolutely, yeah.

1033
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:24,119
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1034
00:58:24,239 --> 00:58:28,079
Speaker 1: And if you were speculating on Robertsauarez is gonna collapse

1035
00:58:28,079 --> 00:58:30,079
as soon as they hand him to the role, who

1036
00:58:30,119 --> 00:58:31,119
are you grabbing up next?

1037
00:58:32,239 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 4: I guess, Kinley, I guess.

1038
00:58:37,199 --> 00:58:39,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's who I would go with as well. But yes,

1039
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:40,519
it's Robert Suarez.

1040
00:58:41,679 --> 00:58:44,599
Speaker 1: Over in Toronto, they have announced that Jeff Hoffman is

1041
00:58:44,639 --> 00:58:48,400
out of the Closer role. He is now. They say

1042
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,400
he's splitting, but it feels like it might be Louis Barlantine.

1043
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm actually that That surprised me because I figured

1044
00:58:55,719 --> 00:58:58,920
Hoffman was either gonna have the role, He's gonna have

1045
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,119
the closer role. They were gonna give him a PHANTOMI

1046
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,000
l stint. I didn't think they were just gonna remove him.

1047
00:59:05,039 --> 00:59:09,559
But he looks removed. So yeah, Barlin's the guy. I

1048
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,880
I'll see if I get him in FAB this weekend.

1049
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,159
I imagine he's gonna go for a lot. As we

1050
00:59:16,239 --> 00:59:20,960
record this on Sunday, it hasn't come the FAB results

1051
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,519
haven't come back yet. I have him, I think I

1052
00:59:24,559 --> 00:59:28,719
want to say I have him in like the uh

1053
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:33,199
twenty to thirty dollars range. I'm not gonna get him,

1054
00:59:33,239 --> 00:59:36,760
probably that's out of a thousand and then in a league,

1055
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,440
but it depends on needs, Like if you really need

1056
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:44,920
a reliever, if you need a closer and you need saves,

1057
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:49,679
then you bid more. I actually saves are one of

1058
00:59:49,719 --> 00:59:53,159
the few things I don't really need, you know. I'm

1059
00:59:53,719 --> 00:59:56,280
I think in one league where I do need saves,

1060
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:00,199
I bid seven dollars out of one hundred. So know

1061
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:02,599
that's I mean, that's a decent amount in one hundred dollars.

1062
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.

1063
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: I think I would if you really need saves, I

1064
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,119
would probably go up to like I would even go

1065
01:00:11,159 --> 01:00:13,119
up to like fifteen percent, just because I feel like

1066
01:00:13,159 --> 01:00:16,960
it's a pretty you know, he's been pretty solid. It

1067
01:00:17,039 --> 01:00:20,920
feels like he's got the role. You know, I could

1068
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:26,880
definitely see spending the money and grabbing him out. Let's

1069
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,960
move on Gray over in Houston. We talked about this

1070
01:00:30,079 --> 01:00:33,320
last week, but Anniel Delos Santos gets another save this week,

1071
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,639
fully moved on from the Brian's right.

1072
01:00:37,119 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Brian's are gone, Bryan's, the Brian's are out.

1073
01:00:43,119 --> 01:00:47,880
Nyel is in and hater is in five minutes.

1074
01:00:49,199 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 3: Okay.

1075
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,159
Speaker 1: Over in Texas, Jake Lets gets a save. Is this

1076
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:57,880
signs of things to come? Or who do you like

1077
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,599
in Texas? Because I I I have no idea.

1078
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 4: I know, so dumb. I mean I don't I don't

1079
01:01:06,039 --> 01:01:09,800
know what they're doing down there. I really like, I

1080
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,199
don't know like there. I mean, none of the none

1081
01:01:12,239 --> 01:01:14,599
of these guys are really that good, to be honest.

1082
01:01:14,679 --> 01:01:19,559
But Junis or Lats, I guess it's a I guess

1083
01:01:19,559 --> 01:01:25,480
if it's a heavy lefty heavy ninth, they go with

1084
01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:29,960
Lats and Junis. If it's heavy writings in the ninth,

1085
01:01:30,039 --> 01:01:35,880
I guess, so matchups, I would probably go, I'd probably

1086
01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:39,039
go Junis, But I mean it could be Junis, Lats

1087
01:01:39,159 --> 01:01:43,199
or even Cole Winn could potentially get saves.

1088
01:01:43,719 --> 01:01:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's been nobody in Texas that has taken

1089
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:47,320
the job.

1090
01:01:47,159 --> 01:01:48,039
Speaker 3: And run with it.

1091
01:01:49,239 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, Lats has been solid, Jenis is actually you

1092
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:56,760
know they're they're both been surprisingly because the names are

1093
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,679
not anything. Uh, the Bullpen's actually surprised when pretty solid.

1094
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,559
So there's worse things you could do than run those

1095
01:02:03,559 --> 01:02:06,519
guys out there. But you know, it just feels like

1096
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:12,079
a split situation Over in Colorado and Antonio Senctela, it's

1097
01:02:12,119 --> 01:02:16,679
a save. He is at his job, and it asked

1098
01:02:16,719 --> 01:02:19,440
with Rockies closers at any at any point, is it

1099
01:02:19,559 --> 01:02:20,239
even worth it?

1100
01:02:20,599 --> 01:02:24,559
Speaker 4: No, I don't think it is. But it's actually you

1101
01:02:24,719 --> 01:02:28,519
put a good Vodnik as far as I you know,

1102
01:02:28,559 --> 01:02:30,920
I think Vodnik's the closer he got. He got to

1103
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:36,679
save on Sunday sense sense of Tella. Whatever first name is,

1104
01:02:37,199 --> 01:02:41,559
Antonio Sentatela. It's a I think there's an old Abin

1105
01:02:41,599 --> 01:02:46,559
and Costello routine about Sesquehanna hack Company. U the uh,

1106
01:02:46,719 --> 01:02:51,280
Antonio says to Tela has actually pitched really well. Uh.

1107
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:53,480
And I didn't realize that until you put his name

1108
01:02:53,519 --> 01:02:57,159
on the outline for the podcast, because I had no clue.

1109
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:01,280
But he looks I mean, his numbers look good actually,

1110
01:03:02,119 --> 01:03:04,280
but I wouldn't speculate on that.

1111
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, really, the only person who's been really

1112
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,599
bad is the worst person in that bullpen's been Victor Vodnick.

1113
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:19,679
Speaker 3: Unfortunately. I mean it's not even really close. I assume

1114
01:03:19,719 --> 01:03:21,400
he's gonna have the job still.

1115
01:03:21,199 --> 01:03:23,599
Speaker 1: But if he continues to do what he's been doing

1116
01:03:24,079 --> 01:03:27,159
when he's at like a seven year a currently, he's

1117
01:03:27,159 --> 01:03:28,760
not gonna have too many more opportunities.

1118
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:29,679
Speaker 3: Even in Colorado.

1119
01:03:30,199 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 4: His array is above his k is k per nine Man,

1120
01:03:37,599 --> 01:03:42,119
it's awful and af's a pretty terrible staff to have,

1121
01:03:42,239 --> 01:03:43,480
as you're as you're lying Gray.

1122
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,239
Speaker 1: Now, finally Gray, we teased it off the top. Jordan

1123
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,320
Rotto was released by the Angels.

1124
01:03:50,079 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 4: He won the Angels. It's very ridiculous. I mean, that

1125
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:58,079
is a really ridiculous thing. Like I don't know, like

1126
01:03:58,199 --> 01:04:01,320
I hope, I'm like, we're recording this on Sunday. I

1127
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,079
want to make that clear because if we find out

1128
01:04:04,119 --> 01:04:10,079
on Monday that he did something to like precipitate this dfang,

1129
01:04:10,639 --> 01:04:15,960
because that's the only reason why, like otherwise, like it

1130
01:04:16,039 --> 01:04:19,000
makes no sense. I mean, I'm not saying he was good,

1131
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,880
don't get me wrong. He was actually pretty terrible, but

1132
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:28,360
he was their closer. It's crazy to be like, I

1133
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,440
think he's the best guy we have in our bullpen

1134
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,719
and then literally a day later be like, eah, we

1135
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:38,039
don't want him on our team. So unless he did

1136
01:04:38,119 --> 01:04:43,320
something that is like se egregious to get dfa'd, you know,

1137
01:04:43,519 --> 01:04:47,519
like I don't know what it could be. But unless

1138
01:04:47,559 --> 01:04:50,039
that's the case, I don't know what's going on here,

1139
01:04:52,079 --> 01:04:56,039
you know, With that said, I guess Sam Bachman until

1140
01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:01,119
I mean, I think this is Kirby Yates's job when

1141
01:05:01,159 --> 01:05:04,079
he returns. I just don't. I don't know when he's returning.

1142
01:05:04,079 --> 01:05:05,840
I don't know what's taking him so long to return.

1143
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,920
To be honest, I thought I thought you'd be back

1144
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,800
by now. So I would say, if you really are

1145
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,920
a desperate need, I would stash Kirby Yates, and I

1146
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:19,960
guess Sam Bachman, if you know you're really looking for saves,

1147
01:05:20,079 --> 01:05:22,079
I guess yeah, I.

1148
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 1: Would say Sam Bachman or Chase sil sith uh sil

1149
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,159
Seth has been okay, I feel like he's about to

1150
01:05:29,159 --> 01:05:32,400
blow up. He's his breakfasts are pretty bad. I really

1151
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,840
don't want anybody in this bullpen. Let's move on to

1152
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,880
waiver wires, where you might have some names for people

1153
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:38,880
that they might want.

1154
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:45,119
Speaker 4: Oh okay, well done. Done with the the angels. Oh

1155
01:05:45,119 --> 01:05:51,000
thank god, the angels are so bad. I was I was, actually,

1156
01:05:51,039 --> 01:05:54,000
I think in the UH in the roundup for Monday,

1157
01:05:54,199 --> 01:05:57,400
I was saying about the angels that like, if you

1158
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,519
you took someone that just like just got out of

1159
01:05:59,559 --> 01:06:03,559
a comb and you showed them the roster of the angels,

1160
01:06:03,639 --> 01:06:07,159
they would be like, is this twenty seventeen? I don't

1161
01:06:07,159 --> 01:06:12,960
know what year it is. Adam Frazier, Juan Moncata. You

1162
01:06:13,079 --> 01:06:16,440
got guys in that lineup, You're like, what where did

1163
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:22,519
that guy come from? Okay, anyway, Waiver Wires. Miguel Vargas

1164
01:06:22,559 --> 01:06:27,039
has been very hot. Carlos Cortes, we might actually talk

1165
01:06:27,079 --> 01:06:30,079
about him next week in a longer segment if he

1166
01:06:30,159 --> 01:06:33,719
continues this hot hitting. I kind of like what I'm

1167
01:06:33,719 --> 01:06:37,719

1168
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:42,320
been hot, Mason Win's been hot, Oswald Parrazza, Adelaie Rushman

1169
01:06:42,559 --> 01:06:46,199
finally been hot after you know, being a top prospect

1170
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:52,039
seventeen years ago. Nathan Church is hot, Nason Nunez is hot,

1171
01:06:52,199 --> 01:06:57,280
Elle Damaro Vargas is I believe a top five second

1172
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:01,800
basement on the season long player Fargus has been hot

1173
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,480
for a minute, and that's an urban Dictionary minute, which

1174
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:09,639
is a long time. Anyway, on Hell Martinez has been hot.

1175
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:13,840

01:07:34,519 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 3: Yep.

1181
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 1: Just waiting for him to drop from everybody else's roster

1182
01:07:37,639 --> 01:07:38,639
so I can grab him up.

1183
01:07:38,679 --> 01:07:39,119
Speaker 3: Gray.

1184
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 1: Everybody everybody beat to it in draft season. So just

1185
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:47,920
just waiting. Now, great, real quick. The the it was

1186
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:52,159
a movie made. It was a child's movie about the

1187
01:07:52,199 --> 01:07:55,559
Angels being so bad that if they won a pinan

1188
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:59,320
the deadbeat dad would come home and get his his son.

1189
01:08:00,159 --> 01:08:03,360
That team nineteen ninety four Angels went forty seven and

1190
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:07,519
sixty eight in a one hundred and fifteen game season.

1191
01:08:07,639 --> 01:08:11,320
There's a four hundred four four oh nine record, Gray

1192
01:08:12,199 --> 01:08:16,760
over under four o nine for this Angels team. Remember

1193
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,680
that this was a team that was bad enough to

1194
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,479
have a movie made about how bad they were.

1195
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:29,119

Davis Martin has been good. He's going he gets the Angels.

1198
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,279
That's a that's a win. Clay Holmes is a two

1199
01:08:37,279 --> 01:08:40,560
starter versus Washington at the Angels again. There you go,

01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:44,720
Bick Martina, Zach Cleveland, Bailey ob versus Toronto, Grant Holmes

versus Detroit Kaiedair Montero versus Texas. Jake Urban has actually

1202
01:08:49,359 --> 01:08:51,680
been really good. He gets Milwaukee, not the greatest matchup,

1203
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,439
