00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 1>Greeting scitations every one at Church Wells, and welcome to

2
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Baseball Live. Today is August fourth, about two o'clock

3
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>in the afternoon, and we are here for a special

4
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>podcast because we have just wrapped up the twenty twenty

5
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.240
<v Speaker 1>six trading deadline. Tim and I don't know how many

6
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 1>trades there were. I rode up thirty four, So that's

7
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>that's what I got. In the last three or four days.

8
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>We had thirty four trades, which was pretty insane.

9
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was dead up until Sunday. Then we started

10
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>to see some activity, and come yesterday morning, basically all

11
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 2>hell broke close right through until six o'clock, with the

12
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>last one sneaking into the deadline by the padres. A

13
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>lot of players move teams. It's good. We were just

14
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.959
<v Speaker 2>briefly discussing you can we got on the air, and

15
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna take a few days to get this all straightened.

16
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>Note in our noggins as to who's what when we're

17
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 2>and on top of that, we've got the normal ups

18
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 2>and downs and movement of existing players to deal with.

19
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 2>So it's going to take a while to get this

20
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 2>straight and around in our noggins, I think, Yeah.

21
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean for our Patreon members and again I encourage

22
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody to join us out there. I mean they were

23
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>getting updates every half hour, two an hour and a

24
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.439
<v Speaker 1>half ever long. It took me to write the trade up,

25
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:52.519
<v Speaker 1>and I mean there are hundreds of players to me

26
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 1>that I wrote about. Most of them. I knew there

27
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>was some pretty obscure minor leaders that got trade I'm like,

28
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't and to come I several I just punted

29
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>on it. I don't know this guy is. Don't kill me.

30
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll figure it out. Just moved.

31
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:14.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's it's not the right time

32
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>to be playing around that Google thing, is it.

33
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, you know, you get these guys. I

34
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 1>mean there's so many of them, and I mean there's

35
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 1>some sixteen seven year old Latin players that got moved

36
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 1>and uh and then you know twenty eight year old

37
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>rookies and I mean there it covered the gampit. So

38
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll let you go first. Like you you were following

39
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>it along yesterday, how did you think it all went.

40
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 1>Were there any like major surprises that you thought maybe

41
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>guys that didn't get moved that you thought were going

42
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 1>to get moved? What was your general impression.

43
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, I spent most of the day going TikTok TikTok

44
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 2>with Foster Griffin because I thought for sure he's going

45
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.240
<v Speaker 2>to get moved, right, Yeah, he's on a one year deal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

46
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Then finally he did get moved a little bit later

47
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>on in the day. Uh. I think the one move

48
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>that I sort of said wow too, that that I

49
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 2>really liked was the Guardians acquiring Joe Adell. That was that, Yeah,

50
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I because they needed that bad okay. You know though

51
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 2>the White Sox are, they're not backing off. And for

52
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the Guardians to go after jo Adell that said to

53
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 2>me that, yeah, hey, we're serious about this game too. Okay.

54
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>They needed a bopper and they went and got one.

55
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 2>And the one the big wow factor trade for me

56
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 2>was the Red Sox trade with in their division. I

57
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 2>was like, what, like, come on, I A hey, I

58
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I know many many prospects, you know, don't make it, okay,

59
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>we're you know, of the hundreds of aspects that you've

60
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 2>discussed has been traded in the past the past couple

61
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 2>of days. Yeah, a good chunk of them will never

62
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>see the late of major League Baseball. But to give

63
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>up three prospects of the stature that the Orioles gave

64
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.920
<v Speaker 2>up for Adley Rushman one.

65
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Year, one year, one plus year of Adlie Ruschman.

66
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that and we're talking Adlee Rushman, who's on the

67
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I L we don't know is how he's going to

68
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 2>be able to handle catching movie for I. I just uh,

69
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 2>I was shocked that. Uh, you know, Hynson and Witherspoon

70
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>and as a carbon the three of them, and it

71
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 2>ended up in Baltimore. That's that's rebuilding a minor league

72
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.519
<v Speaker 2>system on the fly quickly, isn't it. Well.

73
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean they didn't really need to because it was

74
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 1>pretty strong to begin with. But uh, look, we talked

75
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 1>about it with the Red Sox. Yeah, the Red Sox,

76
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees, the card these really huge fan base areas.

77
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean they they they they're active, right, and the

78
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox when they went through a row, I mean

79
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 1>they went from big sellers. I mean we many times

80
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 1>we talked about role as Chapman getting moved and all

81
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden they're adding in a big way, and

82
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I it was fun. That part was fun. It was

83
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:26.439
<v Speaker 1>actually good to see those those teams who felt like

84
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.199
<v Speaker 1>they they had a chance to add to it, we'll

85
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>talk about the Padres. I do not know what's going

86
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:33.519
<v Speaker 1>on with the Padres. I don't know why they keep

87
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>doing what they're doing. But that's just me. I was

88
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 1>disappointed in the Orioles. I mean, they're right there with

89
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sox and they decided to be sellers.

90
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 3>And it's like, really think that, Yeah they were, they

91
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 3>were breaking, they had a shot, right, yeah, yeah, yeah,

92
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 3>we're in it to win it.

93
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, not good. It's just not this year apparently.

94
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.319
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've been literally in the middle of this, and

95
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I had a chance to think about each and every

96
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 1>one of these trades, and you know, I looked at

97
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 1>it from a baseball perspective, but mostly from a player perspective,

98
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>heavily from a Dynasty league perspective, and I made a

99
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 1>couple of observations. The the better trades were done earlier,

100
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>the more thoughtful trades where you were able to actually

101
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>take it. Like I thought, the Trek Scooba trade was great.

102
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the Dodgers put the hammer down and they

103
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 1>got the guy they wanted. The Troy got great prospects

104
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 1>in return. But as the day wore on, well yesterday,

105
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>the it almost seemed chaotic in terms of like like

106
00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>they like some of the guys. Some of the trades

107
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 1>that were made after two o'clock were with teams that

108
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>they lost out on the earlier trades, and they were

109
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.639
<v Speaker 1>just like, okay, I'll take him, and I'll take him.

110
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:53.759
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at it and you go, what

111
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>are you doing? You know what is it? Does this

112
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>make sense to me? Like the Yankees, I thought it

113
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 1>was pure Hannick mode. I mean I don't even understand

114
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing. I get it. Aaron Judges, I mean

115
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Judges hurt and he might be hurt for the

116
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>rest of the season. The way they kind of haphazardly

117
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 1>just started bringing in guys. I mean, Lewis Carcia is

118
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a good player, paraly I mean it's like that they

119
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>have like twelve of those Luis carcia Is on their

120
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>team already.

121
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.279
<v Speaker 2>It was, Yeah, it was just weird.

122
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, to kind of see some of the chaotic

123
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>nature of everything. And the Dustin Ma trade, I mean,

124
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>holy moly, that's that was the one. I looked at

125
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>each trade of mostly how do I get this work done?

126
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 1>When I saw one for one trade, I'm like, hallelujah.

127
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I could do this one quickly. But when I saw

128
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>six players involved, it's like, oh shit, I look at

129
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the names. I don't know who that is. I was like,

130
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:49.199
<v Speaker 1>oh my god.

131
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 2>A while, yeah, well yeah, you start seventeen eighteen year

132
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>old kids getting moved all over the place. Yeah, that's

133
00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 2>not a lot of fun. Then.

134
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So that was that was kind of that was

135
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of my emotion kind of going through and I

136
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>was looking at it, how do I get through this?

137
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>But the only one that really struck me that I

138
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>was really upset about was that that trade the Brewers

139
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.199
<v Speaker 1>did for Dustin May. And I'm like, what are they doing?

140
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Like what what I mean, what are you doing for

141
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>two months of Dustin May? You're giving up these guys

142
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.839
<v Speaker 1>and Dustin they could literally go out tomorrow Timmy and

143
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>his arm's gone. I didn't understand it.

144
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that hey, yeah, they're playing risk reward and the

145
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>two guys Jojo Romero, I like.

146
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's a tritel though, that's that's yeah.

147
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, hey, obviously the Brewis hoped that was all all

148
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:49.960
<v Speaker 2>the holes they had to fill. I I, hey, I

149
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I'll leave it.

150
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.879
<v Speaker 1>Prospect Capital that they have and and and Alexander Freese

151
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:00.519
<v Speaker 1>man he looks really really good. And Ragsdale's a guy,

152
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 1>but that's a big bat. And all they got with

153
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:07.399
<v Speaker 1>all of that capital, all they got was Dustin May

154
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>who again having a nice bounce back season, but that

155
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.720
<v Speaker 1>is a number three four guy, and it's like, what

156
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.279
<v Speaker 1>are you doing, Like, get somebody good, go for it.

157
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they they played it very, very boringly safe. Yes, definitely. Yeah.

158
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.320
<v Speaker 2>The other thing that left out to me looking at

159
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.879
<v Speaker 2>this whole thing is, hey, if you need a relief pitcher,

160
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:36.759
<v Speaker 2>they're there. Relievers moved all over the place yesterday and

161
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.759
<v Speaker 2>everybody you know that needed to beefed up their bookpins

162
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:43.240
<v Speaker 2>and even the pirates got into the fray by grabbing

163
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Luke Weaver and they're going to pay him a eleven

164
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:46.840
<v Speaker 2>million next year. I gave.

165
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was a great trade. By the way,

166
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I love that Luke Weaver trade. We'll talk about that

167
00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 1>in a few minutes. Again, I went through each and

168
00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 1>every traits I analyzed this, and my other take was, boy,

169
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>believers are still expensive. I mean, teams are willing to

170
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:06.559
<v Speaker 1>give up. I mean Eric Miller that you brought up

171
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday he went that cost a lot, uh in

172
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 1>that trade, and he's I mean I did in a

173
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>deep in deep diving. That's nasty, nasty stuff. And it's

174
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:19.639
<v Speaker 1>no wonder you know that that The price was what

175
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 1>it was and the Giants got a nice return. But bats, Timmy,

176
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.519
<v Speaker 1>you want to power bat it's fifty cents on the dollar.

177
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.039
<v Speaker 1>Those guys, Yeah, just did not cost a lot.

178
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, batterers with flaws, Hey, we we got you.

179
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I was happy with the Jays did. The Jays made

180
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>a pile of moves and overall I liked what the

181
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Jays did. Yep, it made a lot of your show.

182
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Really cost them much? I mean did, I mean?

183
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Now?

184
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean he was pretty The return was just okay,

185
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:54.840
<v Speaker 1>you know.

186
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 2>He was involved was he was originally traded to the

187
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.639
<v Speaker 2>Jays from the Diamond Back. If I'm not mistaken, he

188
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>was part of the Marine the Marine ordeal. But you

189
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>know what what I as much as i've I've ragged

190
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.559
<v Speaker 2>gone about Spencer Ragedtty and the control issues, there's a

191
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of things to like there.

192
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I love that trade.

193
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, one for one Marshal for aragedy. Hey,

194
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>the only person who is going to be uh, struggling

195
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.039
<v Speaker 2>okay in the next six months, and it is going

196
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.679
<v Speaker 2>to earn every sense of his contract. Is a pitching coach,

197
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Pete Pete Walker, because they've got a whole rotation of

198
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>guys that have trouble throwing strikes. If he can get

199
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 2>some of these guys throwing strikes, and Jays could could

200
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 2>could be very happy with the way things work out.

201
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's let's let's go through these. We're gonna I

202
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.039
<v Speaker 1>read about thirty four of them. We're gonna do ten

203
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>to fifteen. I just brought up the Guardians acquired Joe

204
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:56.559
<v Speaker 1>A Dell and that was not the first one we're

205
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna talk about today, but you brought it up. The

206
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Guardians cart all from the Angels and again they picked

207
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>up the one and a half million dollars remain on

208
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.919
<v Speaker 1>the contract. But it only costs a minor league catch

209
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>up Jacob Cozart, And that was my point. I mean,

210
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't all that expensive. And let's face it, Timmy,

211
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:21.279
<v Speaker 1>the Guardians needed power. Bet Joe Adell is not the

212
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy they like. He never walks, he swings

213
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.320
<v Speaker 1>for the fences. His power has been down. The exit

214
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 1>velocity has come down. Having said all that, I thought

215
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it was a great addition. I mean, the Guardians in

216
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.399
<v Speaker 1>need Joe Adell or somebody like that. What say you?

217
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly as much as the Guardians have a plan,

218
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and they do, they also realized that they needed a

219
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:52.519
<v Speaker 2>bit more okay than with their plan was currently giving them.

220
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:57.519
<v Speaker 2>So they went out and they chased the power bet

221
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.639
<v Speaker 2>and they got one in Joe Adell. You know, it

222
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:03.919
<v Speaker 2>definitely improves their lineup in a big way.

223
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I like it, But Joe Dell's having a bit of

224
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.159
<v Speaker 1>a down seas He's not if the thirty two home

225
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.159
<v Speaker 1>run guy was last season. The ex velocity is off.

226
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.759
<v Speaker 1>I still think he's a twenty five arm run bat

227
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think he helps him. And uh, kudos to

228
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 1>their guardians for for putting away their analytics chart and saying,

229
00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:26.600
<v Speaker 1>let's just get a guy that can hit some home runs.

230
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Or absolutely loved.

231
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 2>It or did they pull their chart out and see

232
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 2>we got no power you know? Either either way, Yeah,

233
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 2>it's something they needed. They addressed that. It need good

234
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>for them.

235
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and they should have done this years ago, Timmy.

236
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 1>They should have been bringing I mean they tried no

237
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:51.440
<v Speaker 1>ld Johnski and those kinds. But this is a yeah, man,

238
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 1>these this is a legit two thirty batting average guy

239
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>with twenty five twenty five on run pop that you

240
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 1>can actually get some production out of it. And I thought

241
00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:04.480
<v Speaker 1>it was a great move. I think after the Trek

242
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Scooball deal, to me, the most impactful deal and the

243
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:12.399
<v Speaker 1>biggest return, as you said, was the Red Sox acquiring

244
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Adlie Rutchman. My wife has been very upset about, uh,

245
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.799
<v Speaker 1>the Orioles moving on him, and I let her read

246
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 1>the article and I said, this is why they did it,

247
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and like, you know, this is just what happens. And

248
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.519
<v Speaker 1>she says, the fans are very upset. I'm like, well, yeah,

249
00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.559
<v Speaker 1>but Adley Rutchman is he's gonna he's going to be

250
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.879
<v Speaker 1>in a He's going to be in a race, and

251
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I am sure the Orioles try to cut a deal

252
00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:39.440
<v Speaker 1>with him. His representative said no, and you know, they

253
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:41.519
<v Speaker 1>had to do what's right for their baseball team. But

254
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 1>he goes, along with Jake Rogers from the Orioles for

255
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:48.720
<v Speaker 1>car for Carlos to the Red Sox for Carlos, Nevaias

256
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and three prospects. Anthony Ainsen case of Witherspoon their last year,

257
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>their number one draft pick, and Eddie Scara, who asked,

258
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:06.840
<v Speaker 1>asked as car as a car as a car is uh?

259
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's he's been an up and coming guy.

260
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>But tell me what you thought your thoughts are? When

261
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:14.799
<v Speaker 1>do we see Athley Rutchment back. They've got him all

262
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 1>for next year, which again it might be that shorts

263
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 1>strike shortened season. What do you think of the deal?

264
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Ah? I think the Red Sox gave up too much.

265
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:32.399
<v Speaker 2>I really do. Hey, now, granted they needed to catch her,

266
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:39.120
<v Speaker 2>but man, they gave up a ton Bradley Rutchman, and hey,

267
00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 2>you gotta you gotta give it to give it to

268
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:46.320
<v Speaker 2>the Red Sox for for going all in. Yeah yeah, yeah.

269
00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.799
<v Speaker 2>But at the same point in time, man, especially it's

270
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.840
<v Speaker 2>and he could be a heck of a fight now

271
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:57.679
<v Speaker 2>as far as Baltimore's concerned, Yeah, it makes it makes

272
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.840
<v Speaker 2>sense to doing what they're doing. But at the same

273
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 2>point in time, is this just give them a chance

274
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>to load up on the prospects and go through the

275
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.039
<v Speaker 2>same thing they just went through over the past four years.

276
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.360
<v Speaker 2>We got the best system and we got all the prospects. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

277
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.519
<v Speaker 2>And what have they got to show for it. Nothing.

278
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they didn't really move. I mean there was talk

279
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of the moving Jackson Holland, he was talk of them

280
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>moving Cowser, there was talk of them moving Dylan Beavers.

281
00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:28.080
<v Speaker 1>They pretty much kept that lineup intact. In that lineup,

282
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>let's face it has underperformed. And yes, it would have

283
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.919
<v Speaker 1>been nice to have seen them try to crawl back.

284
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, some kind of bat that could actually help them.

285
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean Taylor Ward, which I don't know if we're

286
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about Taylor Ward. I had a deep

287
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:45.240
<v Speaker 1>dive on that that he's a big reason that the

288
00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Orioles weren't very good this season. This is a guy

289
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that just he decided to cut down his leverage on

290
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>the swing. I don't know if this is direction from

291
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the Orioles. He was a total uphill swing guy, like

292
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>a twenty three degree launch angle. He went down to

293
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:00.320
<v Speaker 1>like twelve for scent.

294
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:04.640
<v Speaker 2>That's a huge change in approach.

295
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and guess what, his strikeout rate almost got cutting half,

296
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 1>which is great. So now all of a sudden he's

297
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.559
<v Speaker 1>making better contact. Yeah, he's more, but he's more of

298
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.960
<v Speaker 1>a light any leadoff batter, I'm not sure that's what

299
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 1>the Orioles wanted. And it's like, I'm wondering, on his

300
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>new team, is he going to turn back? They're going

301
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 1>to go just hit home runs and all of a sudden,

302
00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:26.680
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be the guy that hit thirty six

303
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.319
<v Speaker 1>on runs in twenty twenty five, not the guy that's

304
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>hitting seven.

305
00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Now. Yeah, if the if the Orioles wanted Luisa Rise,

306
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.839
<v Speaker 2>they could have got him. That's right, they did. They

307
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to take and modify somebody into him, right yep.

308
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's fun for me to do this analysis and

309
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:45.839
<v Speaker 1>you sit there and you look at it and you

310
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:50.319
<v Speaker 1>know that leveraging a swing causes more strikeouts and you

311
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.240
<v Speaker 1>know the reverse is true, and actually see it play

312
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 1>out and see a player what he did in twenty

313
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:58.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, see what they're doing in twenty twenty six,

314
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and then identify, i mean, where those changes were made.

315
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.279
<v Speaker 1>It's actually a really cool thing. But then you go,

316
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>what is going on here? Why is he doing this?

317
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Like hit home runs?

318
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's what we're that's what we're paying you the

319
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.400
<v Speaker 2>big bucks for.

320
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean like, yeah, I can find a guy

321
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.039
<v Speaker 1>that hits me seven home runs. I can't find a

322
00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 1>guy that hits me thirty six home runs.

323
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Well exactly. Yeah, and you know a Ward ended up

324
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:32.920
<v Speaker 2>in Seattle and he was about the only significant batting

325
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:36.279
<v Speaker 2>ad that they made. I was very disappointed with the

326
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Mariners coming out of this. I think they needed more

327
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:41.200
<v Speaker 2>than what they got.

328
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Totally agree, and I run the analysis like, this isn't

329
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:48.279
<v Speaker 1>this isn't twenty twenty five, Taylor war, this is twenty

330
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.799
<v Speaker 1>twenty six. Now, maybe again they tell him to switch back,

331
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.599
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think he can just do that. Oh okay,

332
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.119
<v Speaker 1>sure I could do that again. I think that's going

333
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to take some time for head river back to the guy.

334
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:02.759
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think the Mariners need a seven home

335
00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:05.200
<v Speaker 1>run guy hitting at the lane offf They got Cole

336
00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:08.279
<v Speaker 1>Young for that. That's Cole Young, Okay.

337
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, they've they've got They've got that covered. Yeah,

338
00:19:13.559 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 2>but you look at their lineup and other than Julio Rodriguez,

339
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, Rose Arena will be be a twenty twenty

340
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.359
<v Speaker 2>type player. But other than Julio Rodriguez and Calorad, they

341
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.359
<v Speaker 2>needed some power. They still have Weston Wilson at third base.

342
00:19:31.400 --> 00:19:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I know, yeah, it's yeah, no, that's I was disappointed

343
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.799
<v Speaker 2>in what happened with the Mariners. Very disappointed.

344
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.359
<v Speaker 1>So just a quick rundown on these three prospects. Anthony

345
00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Iinson has been one of the true breakout pitchers in

346
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the minor leagues this season double a and high ace

347
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>pitch into a one thirty two ear a, striking out

348
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.960
<v Speaker 1>more than twelve for nine. The walks have tipped ticked

349
00:19:56.000 --> 00:19:57.799
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit after the promotion, but this is

350
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:01.440
<v Speaker 1>the top of the rotation guy. This is the best

351
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>pitching prospects the Orioles have had since Grayson Rodriguez. And

352
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:08.039
<v Speaker 1>I do love kateon Hunter, who's with the Orioles now,

353
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:10.359
<v Speaker 1>But this is a This is a guy that you

354
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:13.599
<v Speaker 1>can see in twenty twenty seven that's going to come

355
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.200
<v Speaker 1>up in a couple of years, going to really establish himself.

356
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 1>Cason Witherspoon was their first round draft pick, a great arm.

357
00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 1>The Red Sox did a good job with him. They

358
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.880
<v Speaker 1>changed his mechanics around to get him straighter to the plate.

359
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.079
<v Speaker 1>After six weeks or two months of really poor performance,

360
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:32.519
<v Speaker 1>he started to put it together. I think he's a

361
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 1>much better pitcher than when he started off the year

362
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.519
<v Speaker 1>with to what the Orioles are getting again, another guy

363
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.559
<v Speaker 1>that could be a mid rotation starter. And then Indy

364
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>as a car is just blown up this year as well,

365
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:50.319
<v Speaker 1>and he's made a lot of strides and there's something good. Tammy.

366
00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:53.799
<v Speaker 1>Carlos Novaias is a backup catcher. I mean, they need

367
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:58.680
<v Speaker 1>a backup catcher. Now you've got once, oh, the catcher

368
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.839
<v Speaker 1>with the Orioles, now, big guy, once he comes back

369
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.079
<v Speaker 1>from off the il. I think Narvaiz will be a

370
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:05.359
<v Speaker 1>nice little backup for him.

371
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, no, hey, and hey, kudos, hey to the

372
00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox. You know, it's so funny how quickly our

373
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.759
<v Speaker 2>game changes. A month, a little bit more than a

374
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:22.920
<v Speaker 2>month ago, we were looking at the Red Sox Soox

375
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:26.759
<v Speaker 2>being sellers. Yeah, and then they win twenty five or

376
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.480
<v Speaker 2>thirty games or whatever it was, and they're right in

377
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.839
<v Speaker 2>the heart of the race. Crazy, Oh quickly things can change.

378
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I had read that the the Red Sox are obviously

379
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:42.279
<v Speaker 1>looking for shortstop help and Zach Needo was being kind

380
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:44.640
<v Speaker 1>of dangled out there, but they wanted Franklin a rise,

381
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:49.200
<v Speaker 1>and rightly so the Red Sox says no, no, thank you.

382
00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.319
<v Speaker 1>And I think that was a smart move for them,

383
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:54.720
<v Speaker 1>because I think that would have been a complete overpay

384
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.079
<v Speaker 1>because Franklin Ryo could probably be in the major leagues now,

385
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:00.880
<v Speaker 1>He's definitely going to be there in two thousands twenty seven,

386
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:03.640
<v Speaker 1>and you just don't trade that guy.

387
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:07.440
<v Speaker 2>No, and you've got Trevor Story, who will be back

388
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.920
<v Speaker 2>sometime in August. That will suffice in the middle of

389
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:14.039
<v Speaker 2>envy for Boss, and that'll be an upgrade over what

390
00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:17.480
<v Speaker 2>they have right now just by using Stories. So why

391
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.759
<v Speaker 2>would you why would you play the Franklin the Rise game. No,

392
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.200
<v Speaker 2>that would be that would have been silly, I believe Timmy.

393
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:25.039
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a break and come back. Let's talk about

394
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:38.839
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees. I said it at the top of the show.

395
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I think the Yankees panic. I'm afraid Aaron Judge might

396
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.920
<v Speaker 1>be more hurt than we think, or that we know

397
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and have to speculate. I haven't heard that, but I

398
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:55.000
<v Speaker 1>mean they, I mean they, I mean they traded for

399
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Lewis Garcia from the Nationals. They gave up Ivanni Cruz,

400
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Timmy who I don't know, But you think that's going

401
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 1>to be their closer. That guy's like one hundred miles

402
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.880
<v Speaker 1>an hour, nasty slider, Jake Bird and Jackson. I mean,

403
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:11.880
<v Speaker 1>but it's about Giovanni Cruz and Louis Garcia's a good

404
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:14.240
<v Speaker 1>players power. He has already hit a home run. But

405
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:18.920
<v Speaker 1>like now they're saying, well, he'll play part d H

406
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:22.599
<v Speaker 1>and part first base and then Ben Rice old party.

407
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>It's like, well, what's going to how it happens with

408
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>gacrrows Stan comes back. It's like the Yankees they got

409
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:33.240
<v Speaker 1>one prototype guys that hit home runs and Garcia doesn't

410
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.079
<v Speaker 1>even walk ever. Guys that hit home runs that are

411
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:38.559
<v Speaker 1>slow footed and clog up the bases. That's who the

412
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Yankees have become.

413
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and what you've done is you've taken Ben

414
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:49.160
<v Speaker 2>Rice off first base, slid him into the DH slide,

415
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:51.640
<v Speaker 2>and we're starting to hear, you know, we're hearing that

416
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Ben Rayce is going to do some catching. Okay, well,

417
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 2>next year is not a problem with Ben Rice because

418
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:01.480
<v Speaker 2>he's first base eligible based on this year. But next

419
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>year that could be a real problem. We could be

420
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:06.359
<v Speaker 2>looking at them race as a full time DH and

421
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.839
<v Speaker 2>I would much rather see him having first base or

422
00:24:08.839 --> 00:24:12.480
<v Speaker 2>catch your eligibility. He's not going to have catch your eligibility.

423
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:15.079
<v Speaker 2>I doubt he's going to get twenty games in before

424
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.519
<v Speaker 2>the end of the year. But again it's clogged things

425
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.440
<v Speaker 2>up because again you've got Luis Garcia platooning with Paul

426
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Goldsman because they're not going to take Goldsman out of

427
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.079
<v Speaker 2>the lineup against lefties. You know that's not going to happen.

428
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:32.480
<v Speaker 2>They'll they'll move Garcia to d AH.

429
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:35.160
<v Speaker 1>So you you think Ben Rice is going to lose

430
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:36.119
<v Speaker 1>playing time, then.

431
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he's going to lose playing time. But

432
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he's going to play at first base.

433
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I think he's going to He's going to catch occasionally.

434
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:47.440
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm hearing is they're going to use him

435
00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.799
<v Speaker 2>and use him as the catcher. It'll be the full

436
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:54.160
<v Speaker 2>time DH. You know, Goldschmid will hit against, He'll be

437
00:24:54.200 --> 00:25:00.400
<v Speaker 2>in the lineup against lefties, Garcia should play, will shift

438
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.759
<v Speaker 2>to d H and Ben Rachel catch over Austin Wells. Again,

439
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:09.079
<v Speaker 2>it's you're you're taking your back this year and moving

440
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:12.559
<v Speaker 2>him from first base to catcher with two months left

441
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>in the season. That to me just does not sound

442
00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:18.079
<v Speaker 2>functioning properly. You know what I mean?

443
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean, look, this is baseball, not

444
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.440
<v Speaker 1>fantasy based. That's not a very good catcher. I mean

445
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:29.759
<v Speaker 1>is Garrett Cole going to be excited your slitler going

446
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.480
<v Speaker 1>to be excited? Uh oh, captain and have Ben Rice today,

447
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 1>love and Rice, but I don't want him.

448
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:43.319
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's creating. They tried to resolve a problem,

449
00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:46.440
<v Speaker 2>but but by resolving a problem and getting more power

450
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:51.440
<v Speaker 2>into that lineup, they've created another problem. Okay, and then

451
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:56.599
<v Speaker 2>from that other problem, you've created another problem and another problem.

452
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:01.440
<v Speaker 2>And it's it's a very candidly, Timmy.

453
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:04.559
<v Speaker 1>They do this all the time. This is what, like

454
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Jane Color said, is a perfect example of

455
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:09.039
<v Speaker 1>why did they acquire that guy?

456
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:14.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Well, because they needed a d H.

457
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.680
<v Speaker 2>They need the big power bad and they and they

458
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:19.440
<v Speaker 2>could pay for it, and they did pay for it.

459
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah and then now around their neck.

460
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, it's yeah, the the Yankees are definitely putting

461
00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:35.079
<v Speaker 2>the disc in dysfunctional. Yeah, it's I like Lewis Garcia,

462
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:35.799
<v Speaker 2>that guy is.

463
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you take a look at his basements on

464
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:40.400
<v Speaker 1>page it's just completely red. It's a it's a power

465
00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>hitting first basement. He's a good player. I just I mean,

466
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 1>but I did the analysis power hitting, they were plentiful, Timmy.

467
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:52.880
<v Speaker 1>You could have had your pick of the litter. They

468
00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.279
<v Speaker 1>could have gotten the power hitting outfielder. Uh and it

469
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:58.240
<v Speaker 1>actually made a little bit more sense. And then they

470
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:00.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, they try to get a power hitting I

471
00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:02.960
<v Speaker 1>mean Elliott Ramos and that's that's that was their outfield

472
00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:05.920
<v Speaker 1>help thee.

473
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they put, they put, spent, they put, and they

474
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 2>sent Spencer down, who was hit home runs in three

475
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.359
<v Speaker 2>of the past four or five.

476
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I did send him down. I thought he was when

477
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:17.319
<v Speaker 1>I last I looked he was. He was gonna be

478
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:18.119
<v Speaker 1>the other corner.

479
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.200
<v Speaker 2>So he's down, I believe.

480
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:24.400
<v Speaker 1>So I know Dimingo's got sent down yesterday along with

481
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Volpi and George Lombard is up.

482
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.160
<v Speaker 2>No, sorry, Spencer Jones is still up. Sorry, Yeah, it

483
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:34.160
<v Speaker 2>was Domingus Dimingus who went down. Sorry, rich my bad.

484
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.759
<v Speaker 2>So they meant that they sent somebody down that they

485
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:39.400
<v Speaker 2>really didn't have to. Would you rather have Domingus or

486
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Ramos or does it matter to me? It doesn't matter why.

487
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, Domingos can't hit lefties. He's a better defender than Ramos,

488
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:51.960
<v Speaker 1>but he had just hasn't He just hasn't it. I mean,

489
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.039
<v Speaker 1>and I Ramos got a little power never walk Spencer Jones.

490
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean is he got two strikeout machines now on

491
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:03.920
<v Speaker 1>the outfield. The Yankees, I don't know what they're doing, Timmy.

492
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.599
<v Speaker 1>And they give up Henry Lelane, who was a reclamation

493
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:10.279
<v Speaker 1>project for them. It looked like one of the best

494
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:13.000
<v Speaker 1>young arms two years ago and just went to the

495
00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:16.519
<v Speaker 1>desert with arm injury and other kind of problems. And

496
00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.200
<v Speaker 1>he's returned to me and it's just I mean, lighting

497
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>it up. And that's who they traded for Elliott Ramos. Wow.

498
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and they have in their starting nine. They

499
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:34.920
<v Speaker 2>they've got two right handed bets in their starting nine,

500
00:28:35.319 --> 00:28:38.640
<v Speaker 2>one of which they created for Ramos. You're looking at Grisham,

501
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Rice Garcia, Joan Jazz, Chisholm, Ryan McMahon. They're all left

502
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:49.240
<v Speaker 2>handed bets. They got two right handed bets in that lineup,

503
00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.039
<v Speaker 2>and one of them they traded at the deadline, four

504
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:56.799
<v Speaker 2>in Elliott Ramos. Yeah, it's yeah, they're at some point

505
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 2>in time, they're gonna they're gonna face good left hand

506
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:05.759
<v Speaker 2>did pitching and it's gonna be ugly, totally ugly.

507
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I think they panicked him. I think they got down

508
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:14.240
<v Speaker 1>to the day before the uh for the trade deadline

509
00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:18.119
<v Speaker 1>and go, oh, judges not coming back and what are

510
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:19.960
<v Speaker 1>we going to do? And it's just, you know, just

511
00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:22.640
<v Speaker 1>got out the board and said let's just start trying

512
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to make deals. And they overpaid and I don't. I

513
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:27.599
<v Speaker 1>didn't like what they did at all.

514
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:34.640
<v Speaker 2>No, I I agree. I think they're going to finish

515
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:36.799
<v Speaker 2>third in that division by default.

516
00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.119
<v Speaker 1>They very well could. Let's see, So the Blue Jays

517
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:45.559
<v Speaker 1>acquire Jose Sorianna from the Angels for three minor leaguers,

518
00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Arjen Dalala, which is a first round traffick Eddie, Michael

519
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:54.839
<v Speaker 1>Eddie and Angel In a right handed pitcher, Angel Rivera.

520
00:29:55.279 --> 00:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>What are the the Toronto Faithful saying about this.

521
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:11.559
<v Speaker 2>The Initially I'm hearing that people were upset, okay, that

522
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:18.279
<v Speaker 2>they were acquiring a picture that yeah, there's trouble throwing

523
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.720
<v Speaker 2>strikes and giving up themala to do it. But they

524
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:26.519
<v Speaker 2>got Jojo Parker, Okay, So he's obviously the Blue Jays

525
00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:28.960
<v Speaker 2>have stated their case as to where their future is going,

526
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's going to be Parker. I again, this is

527
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.599
<v Speaker 2>this is this is going to earn Pete Walker a bonus, okay,

528
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:41.400
<v Speaker 2>because Sorrianna is a fine catcher. He's twenty seven, he's

529
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.440
<v Speaker 2>under control for several years. If they can find a

530
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:49.000
<v Speaker 2>way to get him to throw more strikes Sorriano, for

531
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:51.240
<v Speaker 2>those three minor leaguers could prove to be a steal.

532
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:57.759
<v Speaker 2>And you look at Sorriano, Eric Getty punts, Dylan says,

533
00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:00.839
<v Speaker 2>the Jay's retooled on the fly. I like what they

534
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:07.160
<v Speaker 2>did across the board again Soriano. Yeah, there's there's some

535
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:09.319
<v Speaker 2>things that have to be straightened out. But if they

536
00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:11.440
<v Speaker 2>can find a way to get him to throw more strikes,

537
00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:14.240
<v Speaker 2>that could prove to be a steal in my opinion.

538
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was interesting when when I wrote this, it's

539
00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:20.960
<v Speaker 1>uh so I wrote this yesterday and I wrote last

540
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:24.119
<v Speaker 1>like the Blue Jay's traded away Kevin Goussman and then

541
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:27.720
<v Speaker 1>immediately turned around and traded for Jose Jose Soriana, and

542
00:31:27.759 --> 00:31:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I did. I did the quote for there's a movie

543
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:32.799
<v Speaker 1>My my mother, my sister, My mother, my sister, So

544
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that was the line I put in there. And obviously

545
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I talked about you and I discussed in Soriana when

546
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:39.759
<v Speaker 1>you have the sub I think it was a point

547
00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:40.519
<v Speaker 1>two five.

548
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:44.359
<v Speaker 2>Year rate for four stars Pitture of the Month in April.

549
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then it just all correct it like we thought.

550
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Now as x Era stands at four thirty three, which

551
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:53.039
<v Speaker 1>is actually higher than it's been the last couple of years.

552
00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's got decent stuff. I mean, he's not

553
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Gousman. No, but I mean it's not before kind

554
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of picture. But they gave up an awful lot for Siano.

555
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I like, hey, they did give up a lot,

556
00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:15.720
<v Speaker 2>but I liked what they did because the players that

557
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:21.279
<v Speaker 2>they acquired along with Eric Eddy, Yeah, yeah, there's upside there.

558
00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:25.960
<v Speaker 2>They they're they you know what I mean. It's not

559
00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:31.160
<v Speaker 2>like they traded for Mitch Keller. Oh yeah, there's some

560
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:34.079
<v Speaker 2>up There's some upside sitting there. And when I look

561
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:39.000
<v Speaker 2>at the Jay's heading into next year, yeah, ghost, I

562
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:42.519
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be at all shocked if Kevin Gossman is back

563
00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>in Toronto on a two three year deal. He was.

564
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:50.920
<v Speaker 2>That was the trade that upset the Blue They faithful

565
00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.319
<v Speaker 2>in a big way, and I get it. Kevin Gossman

566
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 2>was was an ambassador for that baseball team. He had

567
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 2>nothing but good things to say about Toronto, Canada. He

568
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 2>loved it up here. And if you've looked at any

569
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:09.079
<v Speaker 2>of his tweets on Twitter and and the Blue Jays fans,

570
00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:13.279
<v Speaker 2>they loved him back. It was a great fit. He

571
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:16.480
<v Speaker 2>he That was one of the best signings the Jays

572
00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.240
<v Speaker 2>have ever done, was getting Ghostan. So I wouldn't be

573
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:22.319
<v Speaker 2>shocked at all if he's back in Toronto next year.

574
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.599
<v Speaker 2>And you look at what the Jays have to throw

575
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:28.400
<v Speaker 2>out here. You know you got Cees, they still have Beaver.

576
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:30.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if we can write dog that off,

577
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:34.559
<v Speaker 2>but you Savage Sriano, Cody Pons didn't pitch at all

578
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:41.839
<v Speaker 2>last year. Eric Getty, the bullpen's deep and talented. I

579
00:33:42.039 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 2>like what the Jays did, I really did. I think

580
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:47.400
<v Speaker 2>they retooled on the fly, and the price was not

581
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 2>such that it was like Boston Boston rich, you know

582
00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:56.519
<v Speaker 2>what I mean.

583
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Lamala's chance to be very very good. It's a big bat.

584
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:03.400
<v Speaker 1>He has not yet developed, I will grant you that,

585
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:08.039
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the underlying stats says that eventually that's

586
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:11.639
<v Speaker 1>going to come. He's pretty athletic. So I think they

587
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:15.000
<v Speaker 1>gave up an awful lot for Jose Sriana. In fact,

588
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I actually think the Angels overall did pretty well by

589
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.960
<v Speaker 1>finally getting some talented guys in there on their squad.

590
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:25.639
<v Speaker 2>But poor Mike Trow.

591
00:34:26.280 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, I was about to say that, like he

592
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:31.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't get moved. Wouldn't that have been a perfect fit

593
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:35.239
<v Speaker 1>for the Yankees in the outfield. Maybe they didn't want

594
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to assume all of that extra money because it's just

595
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:40.440
<v Speaker 1>another Giancarlo Stanton, But at least that's a player.

596
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, yeah, and the Phillies improved their their lot

597
00:34:46.199 --> 00:34:49.719
<v Speaker 2>in life as well. But Mike Trows a Philly boy,

598
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:57.039
<v Speaker 2>isn't he? Yes, yes, yes, so yeah no. So I

599
00:34:56.719 --> 00:35:01.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay with what the Jays did. I'm perfectly fine

600
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:05.760
<v Speaker 2>with that. They do have so they were work cut out.

601
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:08.079
<v Speaker 2>But all they gotta do is find it where you

602
00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:10.800
<v Speaker 2>get these guys to throw a few more strikes and

603
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:15.679
<v Speaker 2>if you walk a few less. Yeah, I'm sure everybody's

604
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:19.960
<v Speaker 2>interested in what Dylan Cees is throwing these days. The

605
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Jays will use that with their new acquisitions.

606
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Dy Dylan system monsters. So I'm going to turn this

607
00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:29.000
<v Speaker 1>next one over to you, Tim, because I am at

608
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:33.920
<v Speaker 1>a loss about the love affair that major some Major

609
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.000
<v Speaker 1>League Baseball teams have with Lewis and Rise. I just

610
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:38.400
<v Speaker 1>do not get it.

611
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:45.199
<v Speaker 2>It's it's simple, Uh, it's a perfect fit in Philadelphia.

612
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely the absolutely perfect fit. Do you want trade Turners?

613
00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Do you want trade Turners? Two ninety nine? Obp hitting

614
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:58.679
<v Speaker 2>in the ladofs but uh no, I can't see it.

615
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:00.800
<v Speaker 2>You need to Rise in the leadoff spot.

616
00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Is it going to be in the lead.

617
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:07.880
<v Speaker 2>It's not showing as such, but I have to think

618
00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.920
<v Speaker 2>that is going to that is going to happen. I'm

619
00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:13.920
<v Speaker 2>betting on that happening. You put them in the leadoff spot,

620
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:19.199
<v Speaker 2>Slapman there, and then you've got Schwarber and Harper, and

621
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:23.079
<v Speaker 2>then you moved you moved tray Turner into four or

622
00:36:23.119 --> 00:36:24.280
<v Speaker 2>five with Alex Baum.

623
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Uh wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. You did

624
00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:32.800
<v Speaker 1>not read my analysis. That's because I thought through this.

625
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:36.000
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I wrote in yes, put Lewis Rise at

626
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:39.679
<v Speaker 1>the leadof Schwarburn Harbor after I right, I understand the theory.

627
00:36:39.719 --> 00:36:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I just don't agree with it. But that's just me.

628
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

629
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:44.800
<v Speaker 1>But then yeah, I get Okay, So, so where does

630
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Lewis a Rise play?

631
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.119
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Lewis Rise is playing.

632
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:58.119
<v Speaker 1>We're second base. I'll help you out second base, okay.

633
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>And then moving braces start to third base. Bruce, he's

634
00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:04.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna play first. Bryce Harper is in the yoakfield.

635
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, stop, let's stop. Stop stop. You cannot do that,

636
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:15.920
<v Speaker 1>so you can't it. That makes that is bad general management.

637
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.159
<v Speaker 1>I am sorry. You're taking a thirty four year old player,

638
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:23.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, the the leader of that team along with Schwarber,

639
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:26.119
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna subject him. We've we've seen Bryce Harper

640
00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:29.599
<v Speaker 1>play ryfield where the guy runs into walls. You cannot

641
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:30.000
<v Speaker 1>do that.

642
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:38.440
<v Speaker 2>What's that he's all growed up. Now he's ran into

643
00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:40.559
<v Speaker 2>them all. He doesn't need to do it twice unless

644
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:41.000
<v Speaker 2>he's done.

645
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, The end result of buying of trading for Lewis

646
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:49.199
<v Speaker 1>a rise is that Bryce Harper plays in the outfield.

647
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:53.360
<v Speaker 1>That's the accommodation you're making. I think that's idiotic. That

648
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:55.800
<v Speaker 1>is idiotic. I'm I think.

649
00:37:56.519 --> 00:38:00.599
<v Speaker 2>I think what Philadelphia is saying is we non bas

650
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:02.840
<v Speaker 2>guy in our lineup in a big way, and that's

651
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the price that we'll pay. But Lewis and one base is.

652
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Based on the fact that he never he makes such

653
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:12.519
<v Speaker 1>good contact if they're swing and missing it, he never walks.

654
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:14.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's up there hacking away. So it's not

655
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.960
<v Speaker 1>like like we saw last season he was a terrible

656
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:20.760
<v Speaker 1>one base guy because he didn't hit the ball, So

657
00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:23.559
<v Speaker 1>that does happen. You need to find somebody like Schwarber

658
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:25.760
<v Speaker 1>who walks on. There's a lot of one based guys.

659
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:29.719
<v Speaker 1>They could have taken anybody off the Guardian's system and

660
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:31.000
<v Speaker 1>they get added one base guy.

661
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but again they got to get trained great turner

662
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.440
<v Speaker 2>of the leadoff spot. They don't want to put Shorber

663
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.639
<v Speaker 2>in in their best bat in the leadoff spot, so

664
00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:44.760
<v Speaker 2>they had to get somebody and arise as an OBP

665
00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:47.519
<v Speaker 2>at three sixty? How many more runs are generated? Run

666
00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:50.320
<v Speaker 2>score are generated with a three sixty versus the two

667
00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:52.760
<v Speaker 2>ninety nine OBB. Would I have done it? No?

668
00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I get the theory and I yeah, but I mean

669
00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:59.519
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather have a true one base percentage guy, which

670
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:02.880
<v Speaker 1>is a guy walks a lot with solid strikeout rates,

671
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:05.840
<v Speaker 1>not a guy who never strikes out and can't provide

672
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.119
<v Speaker 1>anything else and just to slap them all around to

673
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:10.760
<v Speaker 1>try to get that. We saw it last year. He

674
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:13.280
<v Speaker 1>can have streaks and that lasted most of last year.

675
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:15.800
<v Speaker 1>We never gets on base, and then you have nothing,

676
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:17.760
<v Speaker 1>You got a zero in your line up.

677
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:20.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know what the Philly said is this is

678
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:23.079
<v Speaker 2>what we need. We need to lead off at Louise Rises.

679
00:39:23.159 --> 00:39:26.440
<v Speaker 2>It would I have done it? No, I probably wouldn't have.

680
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not I'm not a Louise Rise fan. I never

681
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:33.800
<v Speaker 2>have been. But at the same point in time, Philly

682
00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:36.119
<v Speaker 2>decided that's how they're going to do it, and they

683
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:36.719
<v Speaker 2>went and did it.

684
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:41.800
<v Speaker 1>So, hey, that's a mistake. When when Bryce Harper comes

685
00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:43.920
<v Speaker 1>up lame in the middle of decem in the middle

686
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:48.679
<v Speaker 1>of September, don't come to me. It's like I tell

687
00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:52.039
<v Speaker 1>my kids, when you screw this up, I'm not here.

688
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we got I'm hearing. Don't cry for me, Rich

689
00:39:57.519 --> 00:40:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Wilson exactly. Yeah, don't gray at me.

690
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

691
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:07.719
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, that's how they decided to approach it, and

692
00:40:07.760 --> 00:40:12.719
<v Speaker 2>they they did it. It's as simple as that. Well. Yeah,

693
00:40:12.960 --> 00:40:15.800
<v Speaker 2>what what I did like was the fact that the

694
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Phillies picked up Killian and Brooksrelly elbow in that bullpen.

695
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Smart move I both. Yeah, pretty much everybody found a

696
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:28.000
<v Speaker 2>way to improve their bullpen.

697
00:40:29.400 --> 00:40:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I will say the Giants did well this. Lewisa Rise

698
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:36.400
<v Speaker 1>tray Ramon Marquez has got a great arm. He might

699
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:39.320
<v Speaker 1>be he might be a bullpen arm long term, but

700
00:40:39.440 --> 00:40:42.320
<v Speaker 1>he's posting one sixty eighty or a ninety three strike

701
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:48.719
<v Speaker 1>counts of nineteen walks. Yeah, it's it's it's really good stuff.

702
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:50.760
<v Speaker 1>So then and they got some other guys too, But

703
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:54.119
<v Speaker 1>that was the big one. And sure Lewis a rise

704
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:57.039
<v Speaker 1>or rental for Lewis ri and Caleb killing is okay,

705
00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:01.280
<v Speaker 1>But I mean that's what I I just I I'll

706
00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:04.760
<v Speaker 1>once he retires, I'll never understand the Lewis or Rays

707
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:07.000
<v Speaker 1>love affair with it. I just don't get it. You

708
00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:10.159
<v Speaker 1>can get to on base percentage a different way than

709
00:41:10.199 --> 00:41:12.519
<v Speaker 1>somebody who strikes out eight percent of the time with

710
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:16.400
<v Speaker 1>absolutely nothing else to offer. I'll never understand.

711
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:19.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's a Dave Dombroski trade.

712
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's right, Dan Dombroski's right. I had a dumb Yeah,

713
00:41:23.760 --> 00:41:26.800
<v Speaker 1>he needs to retire. That's that's the nineteen seventies trade.

714
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Ye yeah, yeah it did really annoys retire. Dave will retire, okay,

715
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:38.199
<v Speaker 2>and somebody else will have to pick up the pieces.

716
00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, somebody with a understand I know. Let's move on

717
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to me take a break in the brewers the dust

718
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.320
<v Speaker 1>in may Well, we're gonna do that one next. That

719
00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>was the other one that really ticked me off.

720
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I be for coming on.

721
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:07.599
<v Speaker 1>Look, no one's happier for Dustin May than me. I've

722
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:10.280
<v Speaker 1>always had a soft spot for Dustin May. He's got

723
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:12.159
<v Speaker 1>the great look. I loved it when he had the

724
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:14.960
<v Speaker 1>big hair. I mean it's a thing. And I owned

725
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Dustin May and multiple dinings of leagues when they got

726
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:21.199
<v Speaker 1>called up, and I enjoyed those four starts before he

727
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:23.840
<v Speaker 1>got Tommy John Surgery like everybody did.

728
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean I really did. And maybe more rich because

729
00:42:27.880 --> 00:42:29.559
<v Speaker 2>you had the investment right yeah.

730
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:32.840
<v Speaker 1>And for I mean Dustin me seems like a like

731
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:35.280
<v Speaker 1>a gentle soul. He seems like a good dude, and

732
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:38.760
<v Speaker 1>it's just like he just can't stay healthy. It's two

733
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Tommy John Surgery's back to back and it's tough. And

734
00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:45.599
<v Speaker 1>I love what because you and I were on doing

735
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:49.360
<v Speaker 1>a podcast recording when I stopped the show and I said,

736
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:52.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at Dustin May's game outing that he's having.

737
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:53.920
<v Speaker 1>He's up to ninety eight miles an hour, and he

738
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:56.559
<v Speaker 1>said he was going to cut back on the velocity

739
00:42:57.239 --> 00:42:58.719
<v Speaker 1>and he got to give it up to him that

740
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:01.880
<v Speaker 1>it was not working, so he needed to throw harder

741
00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's it's helped Timmy and you know, He's pitched

742
00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:11.760
<v Speaker 1>fairly well. He's not a great pitchers of expected area

743
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:13.840
<v Speaker 1>of three ninety one. It's a number four kind of.

744
00:43:13.880 --> 00:43:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Starter and correct.

745
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:21.159
<v Speaker 1>And I get the Brewers really know what they're doing.

746
00:43:21.239 --> 00:43:24.559
<v Speaker 1>It'll probably make Dustin May better and in the short

747
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:27.880
<v Speaker 1>time he'll be there. But they gave up Alex Freeze,

748
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:30.480
<v Speaker 1>who I think has a chance to be a special dude,

749
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:34.239
<v Speaker 1>and they had a who's who of prospects on their

750
00:43:34.280 --> 00:43:37.440
<v Speaker 1>team and they chose to go down the Dustin May route.

751
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry this one made me mad. It's not that

752
00:43:41.960 --> 00:43:44.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't like Dustin May. It's not like I don't

753
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:46.239
<v Speaker 1>think he could help. But I think there was so

754
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:48.840
<v Speaker 1>many of them. They could have been maybe they were.

755
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.480
<v Speaker 1>They could have been in that Tarrek schoolble, and they

756
00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:56.119
<v Speaker 1>might have been able to outbid the Dodgers for Trek

757
00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:59.920
<v Speaker 1>schoolbel and they went Dustin May. I don't get it.

758
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:02.000
<v Speaker 1>That one's the head scratcher for me.

759
00:44:03.280 --> 00:44:09.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, they they played the safe, They took the cautious,

760
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:13.280
<v Speaker 2>cautious approach. They they did. They did add to their

761
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:17.920
<v Speaker 2>bullpen with Senzatela, which which won't hurt uh and who

762
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:22.480
<v Speaker 2>else did they add another bullpen? That they got, they

763
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:26.559
<v Speaker 2>got Romero. Yeah, yeah, so they improved their bullpen. But

764
00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:31.639
<v Speaker 2>basically they're going in with Miserowski, Sprote, Henderson, Dryan Gasser,

765
00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Dust and may uh. Kyle Harrison will be back to

766
00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:40.599
<v Speaker 2>this week. Quinn pre Priester. He ceased to Yeah, maybe

767
00:44:40.960 --> 00:44:43.519
<v Speaker 2>they've they've got they've got depth in armies, but they

768
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:55.440
<v Speaker 2>don't after Miseroski and possibly Kyle Harrison. The top and

769
00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:58.519
<v Speaker 2>bottom heavy with a lac in the middle.

770
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Does that make That's that's exactly what That's exactly a

771
00:45:01.480 --> 00:45:04.880
<v Speaker 1>great analysis on that because I agree with you and

772
00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:10.440
<v Speaker 1>ms Rawski fumbles in the playoffs and it's always possible

773
00:45:10.480 --> 00:45:14.239
<v Speaker 1>to me as a young kid that and guys gonna

774
00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:15.880
<v Speaker 1>have bad outings and all of a sudden you got

775
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:18.280
<v Speaker 1>a huge drop off and you know you're in a

776
00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:20.199
<v Speaker 1>short series. You could be done.

777
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, as far as the offense is concerned, and

778
00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:25.480
<v Speaker 2>they don't have any problems there.

779
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:31.320
<v Speaker 1>It's they needed they needed a really good arm and

780
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:34.239
<v Speaker 1>I hope to God that works out for him, I

781
00:45:34.320 --> 00:45:37.960
<v Speaker 1>really do. And and again they make guys better, but man,

782
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:40.960
<v Speaker 1>they're they're playing with fire with this one, and they

783
00:45:41.039 --> 00:45:44.559
<v Speaker 1>did not need to. They had enough prospect capital to

784
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:46.119
<v Speaker 1>get whomever they wanted.

785
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:50.440
<v Speaker 2>They could have. Well, but again, hey, most most of

786
00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:56.679
<v Speaker 2>the pictures were looking at the gun moved. Uh they're

787
00:45:56.719 --> 00:45:59.880
<v Speaker 2>all one picture away from being on an I l Yeah, yeah,

788
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:05.480
<v Speaker 2>ghost Ghostman's up there, Freddy Peralta, casey my hurt right now,

789
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:07.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean a lot of the pictures that

790
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:13.679
<v Speaker 2>got moved are older veteran teachers that yeah, dust to me, Yeah,

791
00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:15.119
<v Speaker 2>you look at hurt.

792
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was going to play and that would

793
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:18.079
<v Speaker 1>have been the guy that I would have gone for.

794
00:46:18.199 --> 00:46:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's hurt worse than then I realized because the

795
00:46:21.079 --> 00:46:22.159
<v Speaker 1>Padres acquired him.

796
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:25.280
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, right at the end, that was.

797
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Can we can we pivot to the Padres? That's another

798
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.840
<v Speaker 1>thing I I these are all the ones I've just

799
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:35.480
<v Speaker 1>did not get. I mean, I just like I I

800
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:41.639
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate what the Padres are doing. That they are

801
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:45.159
<v Speaker 1>at the end of their window. Uh, they're they're Manny

802
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Machado is not the same guy anymore. Well, the shortstop

803
00:46:48.599 --> 00:46:51.920
<v Speaker 1>is brutal. Who is that that short Uh? Former boss

804
00:46:52.000 --> 00:46:57.280
<v Speaker 1>in red sox Xavier uh Xander Bogart.

805
00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Is not the same guy.

806
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:01.519
<v Speaker 1>Tatist Junior is still a really good player. But I

807
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:05.119
<v Speaker 1>mean they're getting old in a hurry, and they're they're

808
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:09.559
<v Speaker 1>trying to compete for sixth place. And on one respect,

809
00:47:09.760 --> 00:47:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I get that and I appreciate that. Let's get into

810
00:47:12.840 --> 00:47:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. We'll go three and out. But hey, we

811
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:18.559
<v Speaker 1>got into the playoffs. But at some point, Timmy, don't

812
00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:21.039
<v Speaker 1>you have to take a step back and go we

813
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:23.400
<v Speaker 1>need to really retool here in a couple of years.

814
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:28.639
<v Speaker 1>AJ Preller is great at discovering guys because the coffers

815
00:47:28.679 --> 00:47:31.800
<v Speaker 1>go dry with young young players, and he reloads and

816
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:34.800
<v Speaker 1>gets some other front office to take some of his

817
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:39.400
<v Speaker 1>guys and continues this this process. But it's just not working.

818
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what they're doing.

819
00:47:43.079 --> 00:47:46.119
<v Speaker 2>They're in it to win it every year. That's AJ's model,

820
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:51.519
<v Speaker 2>and as long as AJ Preller has a support of ownership,

821
00:47:52.079 --> 00:47:53.880
<v Speaker 2>that's the way it's going to be. That's who AJ

822
00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Prowler is.

823
00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:59.159
<v Speaker 1>Well, you play, you playing dynas league teams. How's it?

824
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:00.920
<v Speaker 1>What's it like in fourth place?

825
00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Uh? I don't have any of the Tata force, So yeah,

826
00:48:06.639 --> 00:48:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I know what you're saying.

827
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Here, coming in fourth place, I mean, yeah, that's tough.

828
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:16.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, well you know, yeah, Hey, look at the part

829
00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:19.559
<v Speaker 2>of his lineup. Okay, you got Steves Junior, and you've

830
00:48:19.559 --> 00:48:24.800
<v Speaker 2>got Machado, and you got Jackson Mcarroll. And surrounding those players,

831
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:28.880
<v Speaker 2>you've got Ty France. Hey, so caps off to you, Tie.

832
00:48:28.920 --> 00:48:30.760
<v Speaker 2>You're having a great year, but you've got Ty France,

833
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:38.679
<v Speaker 2>you got Luis Reynigo, Gavin Sheets, Xander Bogart's Campasano's playing

834
00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:42.960
<v Speaker 2>much better, but you've got three stars surrounded by basically

835
00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:47.119
<v Speaker 2>cast offs that he's picked up. Okay, and now he's

836
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:49.679
<v Speaker 2>picked up two more pictures to go with Michael King

837
00:48:51.159 --> 00:48:55.079
<v Speaker 2>and Michael King and Michael King, you know what I mean.

838
00:48:55.239 --> 00:48:59.000
<v Speaker 2>It's yeah, you look at the rotation. You get Casey May's,

839
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Robbie Ray who they trained for Michael King. Then you

840
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:04.639
<v Speaker 2>go Walker Bueler and Hermine Marquez.

841
00:49:06.119 --> 00:49:07.880
<v Speaker 1>That is not going to take that's not going to

842
00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.280
<v Speaker 1>take down the Dodgers. That's not going to take down.

843
00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:13.000
<v Speaker 2>The Brings, that's not going to take down the Brewer.

844
00:49:13.280 --> 00:49:13.880
<v Speaker 1>It's just not.

845
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:17.800
<v Speaker 2>No. You need to be very fortunate. I was sort

846
00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:21.599
<v Speaker 2>of disappointed. I really thought they might look at moving

847
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Mason Miller or maybe yeah, Adrian more John. Right, they didn't,

848
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:31.920
<v Speaker 2>because there you know they didn't do any of it.

849
00:49:32.000 --> 00:49:34.559
<v Speaker 2>Their bullpen is still deep, it's still strong. It's a

850
00:49:34.599 --> 00:49:37.760
<v Speaker 2>playoff type bullpen. One of the best in the game.

851
00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:44.760
<v Speaker 2>But other than the big bats and hey, cross your

852
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:49.840
<v Speaker 2>fingers open, the best with the rotation. Yeah, it's it's

853
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:54.079
<v Speaker 2>a in a dynasty format. It's a midpac team.

854
00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:59.159
<v Speaker 1>Yep. I'm trying to figure out if Casey Mice is

855
00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.880
<v Speaker 1>on the eyel Now. I don't believe he is, but yeah,

856
00:50:02.880 --> 00:50:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe he is either. I mean, no, Casey

857
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:10.079
<v Speaker 1>Mice is not on the injured list, So that's I

858
00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:15.199
<v Speaker 1>think Casey Casey Mice. People read my analysis of his stuff. Look,

859
00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:18.119
<v Speaker 1>he came out as a number one overall prosper overall

860
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:22.159
<v Speaker 1>player twenty eighteen, I think nineteen something like that. It

861
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:25.519
<v Speaker 1>was before the pandemic, so that's how you always deferiate that.

862
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:28.320
<v Speaker 1>And it looked like he was going to be a

863
00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.280
<v Speaker 1>top of the rotation guy. And Dan if he's not

864
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a top of the rotation picture, he doesn't walk anybody.

865
00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:35.599
<v Speaker 1>He's got the great split or the sweeper's gotten a

866
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:37.599
<v Speaker 1>lot better. The fastball's good enough.

867
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:42.760
<v Speaker 2>It's a good picture. The problem with Casey mi is

868
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:47.039
<v Speaker 2>that since becoming making it to the to the bigs.

869
00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:50.960
<v Speaker 2>His high water mark in innings pitch is one hundred

870
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.519
<v Speaker 2>and fifty and it was in twenty twenty one L

871
00:50:53.599 --> 00:51:00.920
<v Speaker 2>two series through one two and twenty four. Uh, didn't

872
00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:07.039
<v Speaker 2>pitch in twenty twenty three. Okay here, Yeah, this year

873
00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:08.920
<v Speaker 2>he's sitting with eighty six and two thirds.

874
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Yep. Yeah, he's had two years of pretty much pitching

875
00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.199
<v Speaker 1>full time. That was the one forty nine and one

876
00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:22.519
<v Speaker 1>fifty three. Otherwise he's been hurt totally, agree, absolutely, yeah, yeah,

877
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's going to hurt him in free agency, that

878
00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:26.719
<v Speaker 1>is for sure next season.

879
00:51:27.079 --> 00:51:30.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, definitely. But hey, the Podres are what the

880
00:51:30.199 --> 00:51:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Padres are.

881
00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:36.480
<v Speaker 1>The Padres gave up case Cash Mayfield is a pretty

882
00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:39.119
<v Speaker 1>good lefty young kid high school or a couple of

883
00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:41.880
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Uh, and they get Robbie Ray. They cape

884
00:51:41.960 --> 00:51:45.239
<v Speaker 1>up Miguel Mendez, who's pretty good in Janelle Hernandez was

885
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:49.360
<v Speaker 1>the one point four million dollars international signing this past January.

886
00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:53.800
<v Speaker 1>That's hitting three hundred and the DSL with a good power,

887
00:51:54.199 --> 00:51:57.280
<v Speaker 1>good speed, So that could be somebody. So, I mean,

888
00:51:57.320 --> 00:52:01.000
<v Speaker 1>it's impressive that the Padres continued to fill their Coffers.

889
00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:05.239
<v Speaker 1>As I said before, so good on them, But I

890
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:10.199
<v Speaker 1>just more, I just I emphatically disagree with how they're

891
00:52:10.280 --> 00:52:12.400
<v Speaker 1>going about this. I think they're going to have to

892
00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:15.159
<v Speaker 1>pull the plug at some point, and they're going to

893
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:17.320
<v Speaker 1>pull the plug and A J. Prewler is going to

894
00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:19.960
<v Speaker 1>get fired and the next guy is going to be

895
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:22.719
<v Speaker 1>the one who's going to get blamed for four or

896
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:25.039
<v Speaker 1>five years of the dol drums when I don't think

897
00:52:25.039 --> 00:52:25.960
<v Speaker 1>it had to be that way.

898
00:52:28.079 --> 00:52:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, totally agree. Yeah, that that is the way it's

899
00:52:30.719 --> 00:52:34.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna That is the way that it eventually will shake down. Yeah.

900
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.760
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite trades of the week was the

901
00:52:38.840 --> 00:52:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Pirates acquiring look Weaver from the Mets.

902
00:52:41.960 --> 00:52:48.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you know that the Closer State, which was really weird. Well,

903
00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:51.679
<v Speaker 2>I I don't think it's probably for lack of trying

904
00:52:51.800 --> 00:52:54.400
<v Speaker 2>in New York. I think it was probably the contract.

905
00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:55.880
<v Speaker 1>The contract and they.

906
00:52:56.159 --> 00:53:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, yeah, there's there's ten years after the expiration date.

907
00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:05.119
<v Speaker 2>There's ten years of bonuses in there at one point

908
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:12.519
<v Speaker 2>five million a million. Yeah, yeah, No, Williams has ten

909
00:53:12.599 --> 00:53:16.840
<v Speaker 2>years of deferred money at one point five million for

910
00:53:17.000 --> 00:53:19.599
<v Speaker 2>the ten years, in addition to what he's being paid. Now.

911
00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:23.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's I think I mentioned on the podcast if

912
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:27.719
<v Speaker 2>somebody will will eat that or you know, and I'm

913
00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:30.320
<v Speaker 2>sure that's what the problem was. I'm sure they wanted

914
00:53:30.320 --> 00:53:34.440
<v Speaker 2>to move Devin Williams. But it's much easier to show

915
00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:37.679
<v Speaker 2>up Luke Weaver than it is ten years of one

916
00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:39.639
<v Speaker 2>point five million moving forward, Right.

917
00:53:41.159 --> 00:53:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Luke Weaver, it seems to be set up for me.

918
00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And I wrote this, I can take I appreciate your

919
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:48.280
<v Speaker 1>view on this. I think Luke Weaver will be in

920
00:53:48.320 --> 00:53:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the next for saves this year if I think by

921
00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:52.119
<v Speaker 1>the end of the season he's your closer, and I

922
00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:54.480
<v Speaker 1>think he's your closer going into next season. Right, it's

923
00:53:54.760 --> 00:53:57.440
<v Speaker 1>he's the best arm, and it's a good arm in

924
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:58.119
<v Speaker 1>that bullpen.

925
00:53:59.320 --> 00:54:01.840
<v Speaker 2>I picked him up several redraft leagues, and I picked

926
00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:03.639
<v Speaker 2>him up in one of my keeper leagues. I'll have

927
00:54:03.760 --> 00:54:06.119
<v Speaker 2>him next year for six dollars in one of my

928
00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:09.639
<v Speaker 2>keeper leagues. And the idea behind that is if he

929
00:54:09.760 --> 00:54:12.280
<v Speaker 2>did get into a situation where he could be closing,

930
00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:16.199
<v Speaker 2>and let's face it, an eleven million dollar arm in Pittsburgh,

931
00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:19.719
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be closing. Yeah, as good as I

932
00:54:19.760 --> 00:54:22.079
<v Speaker 2>don't think it matters how good Mason Montgomery is the

933
00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Pirates are paying Luke Weaver eleven million bucks, He's going

934
00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:28.639
<v Speaker 2>to get every opportunity to close, not only this year

935
00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:33.639
<v Speaker 2>but moving into next year. So yeah, kudos to those

936
00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:37.119
<v Speaker 2>that picked up Luke Weaver in the in the two

937
00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:40.440
<v Speaker 2>weeks prior to the trade deadline, especially in Dynasty Keeper

938
00:54:40.519 --> 00:54:43.400
<v Speaker 2>type format formats. You might have yourself a really nice

939
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:45.400
<v Speaker 2>arm there for next year.

940
00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm one hundred percent and agree with you. I think

941
00:54:48.039 --> 00:54:51.559
<v Speaker 1>it was a bit lucky, and I think because I mean,

942
00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:54.480
<v Speaker 1>we thought Luke Weaver could moved, but probably thought it

943
00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:57.079
<v Speaker 1>could moved to a situation where he was at seventh

944
00:54:57.159 --> 00:54:59.360
<v Speaker 1>any guy, and it turned out he's got a chance

945
00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:02.280
<v Speaker 1>to be the closer. I don't think we had on

946
00:55:02.360 --> 00:55:04.559
<v Speaker 1>our bingo car that he would be going to the Pirates.

947
00:55:05.679 --> 00:55:09.480
<v Speaker 2>No. I looked at eleven million, looked at Pirates, said no,

948
00:55:09.679 --> 00:55:13.000
<v Speaker 2>that ain't gonna happen. Yeah, that's the most This is

949
00:55:13.039 --> 00:55:15.559
<v Speaker 2>the second most expensive acquisition I think the Pirates have

950
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:17.400
<v Speaker 2>ever made, behind Ryan O'Hearn.

951
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Who was pretty much out for the season, which is yeah,

952
00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:25.239
<v Speaker 1>talk about my fantasy chances right over, Yeah, and eight

953
00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:27.719
<v Speaker 1>of my twenty and twenty five of my league. So

954
00:55:28.239 --> 00:55:29.239
<v Speaker 1>it's just not good.

955
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:33.679
<v Speaker 2>So no, no, definitely, And you know, for the people

956
00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:37.920
<v Speaker 2>that invested in Camillo Dvaal thinking he might be the closer,

957
00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:43.519
<v Speaker 2>might condolences. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's not going to be

958
00:55:43.599 --> 00:55:44.280
<v Speaker 2>the closer, you know.

959
00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:49.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I totally agree. Can we talk about Sammy Staffer,

960
00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:52.679
<v Speaker 1>the guy that went back to the Mets. I'm a

961
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:54.800
<v Speaker 1>huge fan of Sammy Steffer. Let me give you a

962
00:55:54.840 --> 00:55:57.400
<v Speaker 1>little update on that. He was drafted a couple of

963
00:55:57.519 --> 00:56:01.400
<v Speaker 1>years ago. Really really athletic kid, of the best athletes

964
00:56:01.440 --> 00:56:05.159
<v Speaker 1>in his draft class. And this season, to me, there

965
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:09.679
<v Speaker 1>are seven players in the minor leagues who've gone twenty twenty,

966
00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and Sammy Staffora is one of them. Most of the

967
00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:18.480
<v Speaker 1>guys have played eighty to ninety games. Steffora played his

968
00:56:18.639 --> 00:56:22.559
<v Speaker 1>sixtieth game on Sunday and he's already at twenty twenty.

969
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:25.239
<v Speaker 1>So this is a guy who was absolutely grown up.

970
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:29.159
<v Speaker 1>Promise he can't hit. There is that so bury the league.

971
00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:32.960
<v Speaker 1>He turns out thirty percent of the time. But the

972
00:56:33.280 --> 00:56:36.599
<v Speaker 1>fantasy skills are off the charts with this guy, and

973
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:40.679
<v Speaker 1>I probably rather he would have stayed with the Pirates

974
00:56:40.760 --> 00:56:43.599
<v Speaker 1>and turned this over to the Mets to kind of

975
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:47.119
<v Speaker 1>develop him. But they did develop they did develop Aja Ewing,

976
00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:50.679
<v Speaker 1>they did develop Carson Binge, so and he's in that

977
00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:56.159
<v Speaker 1>athletic kind of model that they're in. So maybe I'm

978
00:56:56.199 --> 00:56:58.960
<v Speaker 1>not so worried. But this is a guy that I

979
00:56:59.079 --> 00:57:01.400
<v Speaker 1>think in Dynas leagues that you're want to be taking

980
00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:02.079
<v Speaker 1>to gamble on.

981
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Now.

982
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I know I have personally a few weeks ago when

983
00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I saw what he was blowing up to. But this

984
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:09.880
<v Speaker 1>is I mean, if and if it doesn't work, Timmy,

985
00:57:10.280 --> 00:57:13.760
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't cost you much, but the upside is substantial.

986
00:57:14.840 --> 00:57:16.920
<v Speaker 2>So what you're saying is so far are so good,

987
00:57:18.360 --> 00:57:18.760
<v Speaker 2>so good?

988
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:21.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well that was actually very clever, mister coot

989
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:23.119
<v Speaker 1>all that.

990
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:24.599
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

991
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:26.599
<v Speaker 1>I know, as we were going off the air, coming

992
00:57:26.679 --> 00:57:29.760
<v Speaker 1>onto the air on Sunday, Freddy Parolta goes from the

993
00:57:29.880 --> 00:57:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Mets to the Rays. They get back eight Smith, Emelian Petrie,

994
00:57:34.119 --> 00:57:37.519
<v Speaker 1>who's a second basement Amelia Petrie, and then G. G. H.

995
00:57:37.679 --> 00:57:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Gary Gil Hill. I hope for the best for Freddy

996
00:57:43.719 --> 00:57:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Parolta with the Rays, and I'm hoping it works out

997
00:57:46.239 --> 00:57:48.480
<v Speaker 1>for them. And the Rains are pretty smart, so they

998
00:57:48.599 --> 00:57:51.400
<v Speaker 1>must think they can get him back to six ending Freddy.

999
00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I and and you know what it's it's a

1000
00:57:56.519 --> 00:57:59.559
<v Speaker 2>perfect type trade for the Rays. It didn't cost them

1001
00:57:59.559 --> 00:58:02.880
<v Speaker 2>an army a leg and they think they can fix

1002
00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:06.039
<v Speaker 2>him and you can slip into that rotation if he

1003
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:08.360
<v Speaker 2>gets to be seventy five percent of what he was

1004
00:58:08.440 --> 00:58:11.079
<v Speaker 2>in Milwaukee. The Rays have done very very well.

1005
00:58:12.760 --> 00:58:15.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the guys that went back and encouraged him,

1006
00:58:15.159 --> 00:58:18.960
<v Speaker 1>but to go read about them not great prospects, but

1007
00:58:19.199 --> 00:58:22.039
<v Speaker 1>at least there's something. Again, it's inspiring contract on a

1008
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:25.400
<v Speaker 1>guy who was terrible this season, so you can't expect

1009
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:26.960
<v Speaker 1>too much to return.

1010
00:58:28.440 --> 00:58:31.440
<v Speaker 2>No, well, exactly the same with Ghostman when the Jay's movement.

1011
00:58:31.639 --> 00:58:33.440
<v Speaker 2>He hasn't had a great year because the Ras over

1012
00:58:33.559 --> 00:58:41.280
<v Speaker 2>four he's won five games. Yeah, yeah, yeah, what it is?

1013
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:45.840
<v Speaker 1>This next trade I thought was fascinating. The Giants acquired

1014
00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:50.519
<v Speaker 1>Marcela Mayor from the Red Siene, I laughed out loud.

1015
00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:53.639
<v Speaker 1>I saw going back was left handed reliever Eric Miller.

1016
00:58:53.880 --> 00:58:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Because Timmy, I had taken a break from watching.

1017
00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Your closed report and diving in and and Eric Miller.

1018
00:59:01.639 --> 00:59:04.599
<v Speaker 1>After I looked at his Baseball Savant page, I said,

1019
00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get this guy. It's nasty stuff. And I did, man,

1020
00:59:08.920 --> 00:59:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I spent a lot of money and it was I

1021
00:59:11.039 --> 00:59:13.000
<v Speaker 1>was thrilled that I got him in two or three leagues.

1022
00:59:13.039 --> 00:59:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking, look at me, man, I finally got a closer.

1023
00:59:16.320 --> 00:59:19.840
<v Speaker 1>And the twenty four hours later he's the seventh inny

1024
00:59:19.960 --> 00:59:23.000
<v Speaker 1>guy behind Whitlock and enrolled his check.

1025
00:59:22.920 --> 00:59:29.840
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, yeah, stupid game. Yeah. I actually, when

1026
00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I saw that trade go through, I uttered, I uttered

1027
00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:38.760
<v Speaker 2>out loud the F word. Really yeah, yeah, because I

1028
00:59:38.800 --> 00:59:42.480
<v Speaker 2>got shares all over the place. Everything set up absolutely perfect.

1029
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:45.239
<v Speaker 2>He could be a closer in San Francisco for the

1030
00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:48.239
<v Speaker 2>next two three years. Yeah, No, I was. There was

1031
00:59:48.280 --> 00:59:52.159
<v Speaker 2>a big fea. You probably heard it. Okay, he just

1032
00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:54.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize it. Be rich.

1033
00:59:54.519 --> 00:59:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't have time to get you. I was too

1034
00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:00.599
<v Speaker 1>I was too busy writing. But I'm like, oh, you've

1035
01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:02.760
<v Speaker 1>got to be kidding me. I mean, and I just said, yeah,

1036
01:00:02.800 --> 01:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I just give up on closers. I'm going to a

1037
01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>five by four league. That's where I'm going. I just

1038
01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I just don't get it. I mean, I don't understand.

1039
01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:15.679
<v Speaker 1>He's got a great arm. H Carlos good Area is

1040
01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:19.159
<v Speaker 1>an interesting guy too. Marcella Mayer, though, I think it's

1041
01:00:19.199 --> 01:00:21.559
<v Speaker 1>safe to say he just has not developed. He's still

1042
01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>only twenty three years old. Bat speed looks really good

1043
01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>based on the metrics, but I think we have to

1044
01:00:28.719 --> 01:00:32.840
<v Speaker 1>just maybe recalibrate with him, particularly going to the Giants.

1045
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>This is maybe an average to below average player than

1046
01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:37.239
<v Speaker 1>a plus player.

1047
01:00:38.800 --> 01:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Agreed Boston. Hey, Boston didn't move him. There was a

1048
01:00:43.920 --> 01:00:48.440
<v Speaker 2>reason there. Yeah, Eric Miller is a good arm, but

1049
01:00:48.559 --> 01:00:52.119
<v Speaker 2>he's he's number three four in their bullpen, you know,

1050
01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:57.519
<v Speaker 2>behind Whitlock, behind Chapman, behind Slayton, and then you got Miller.

1051
01:00:58.559 --> 01:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>The Boston Red Sox didn't need Eric Miller to have

1052
01:01:01.599 --> 01:01:04.960
<v Speaker 2>a good bullpen. But I'm wondering we're seeing the same thing.

1053
01:01:05.199 --> 01:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>We're seeing the same thing we do. I mean, the

1054
01:01:06.800 --> 01:01:11.840
<v Speaker 1>oldest Chapman will one day retire, Wedlock will get free agency,

1055
01:01:12.480 --> 01:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and Eric members they got him for three years. You

1056
01:01:14.840 --> 01:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>could see him closing games in twenty twenty eight.

1057
01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I agree that there's there's there's a pick that I'm

1058
01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>going to have on a fair number of my teams

1059
01:01:25.920 --> 01:01:29.119
<v Speaker 2>coming out of the drafts next year, depending what happens

1060
01:01:29.159 --> 01:01:31.800
<v Speaker 2>with the oldest Chapman. Yeah, if he's the number three

1061
01:01:31.920 --> 01:01:37.440
<v Speaker 2>guy in that bullpen. Yeah, I'll take my chances. He'll

1062
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:41.239
<v Speaker 2>be next year. Is Louis Barlin for me? Richard, Yeah, well,

1063
01:01:41.440 --> 01:01:41.719
<v Speaker 2>I'll be.

1064
01:01:41.760 --> 01:01:44.400
<v Speaker 1>Right there with Robby rut I have now in three

1065
01:01:44.480 --> 01:01:50.599
<v Speaker 1>leagues and I have spent a lot of emotion already

1066
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>on him. So he's gonna stick with me for a while. Thickay,

1067
01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Marcella Mayor, Hey, I thought he would be better than

1068
01:01:56.119 --> 01:01:57.599
<v Speaker 1>he is. He just hasn't been. He just has not

1069
01:01:57.719 --> 01:01:59.679
<v Speaker 1>the ball. I'm not willing to give up on the

1070
01:01:59.719 --> 01:02:02.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty three year old. He'll get a good play. He

1071
01:02:02.760 --> 01:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>won't have Franklin, he won't be looking over his shoulder

1072
01:02:05.360 --> 01:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>for Franklin a raise and everybody else. He'll get a

1073
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>nice run for at least a couple of years until Lewis,

1074
01:02:10.920 --> 01:02:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Hernandez send all these kids that are in low way

1075
01:02:13.719 --> 01:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>or ready to take his job. But at least he's

1076
01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:18.599
<v Speaker 1>got a couple of years to develop. The next one,

1077
01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:22.119
<v Speaker 1>second to the last, was the Angels acquiring Moys's Beilisteris.

1078
01:02:22.239 --> 01:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>This was a little shocking for me. They also acquired

1079
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Mason McGuire, who was actually Mark McGuire's son. I actually

1080
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>saw him pitch last year. Once and pretty good stuff.

1081
01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:37.079
<v Speaker 1>And the Cubs got to Ryan Zephyrchon. He's got really

1082
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:39.480
<v Speaker 1>good stuff as well. It doesn't always throw strikes, but

1083
01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:41.360
<v Speaker 1>he's another guy that's up to a lefty that's up

1084
01:02:41.360 --> 01:02:44.440
<v Speaker 1>to one hundred miles an hour. Were you surprised that

1085
01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the Cubs, I mean, I get the red sucks kind

1086
01:02:47.840 --> 01:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>of giving up a Marcela Mayor getting a similar guy

1087
01:02:50.519 --> 01:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and Eric Miller, but the Cubs gave up on Moys's Bellisterius.

1088
01:02:54.599 --> 01:02:55.920
<v Speaker 1>I found that to be shocking.

1089
01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think it goes back to a discussion we've

1090
01:03:02.239 --> 01:03:07.440
<v Speaker 2>had many times, many times in the past about players

1091
01:03:08.199 --> 01:03:15.920
<v Speaker 2>with defensive challenges, liabilities, and let's face it, Bia Steros,

1092
01:03:18.719 --> 01:03:22.199
<v Speaker 2>he can can't catch. Yeah, so where where is he

1093
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:24.679
<v Speaker 2>going to fit into the Cubs lineup when you've got

1094
01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Saya Suzuki, who's gonna you know, he's thirty two, would

1095
01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:33.360
<v Speaker 2>be thirty three next year. Uh yeah, how many how

1096
01:03:33.400 --> 01:03:39.559
<v Speaker 2>many first base DH types do you need? And yeah, yeah,

1097
01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:42.519
<v Speaker 2>well yeah then they'll say one more, damn.

1098
01:03:42.559 --> 01:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>One more, we'll take. We'll take that's our model, Yeah exactly, Yes, clogging.

1099
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Up a position somewhere that he shouldn't be. Yeah. So

1100
01:03:55.039 --> 01:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's where it boiled down to. I think

1101
01:03:59.159 --> 01:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>I think by stairs, I don't have any doubts that

1102
01:04:01.760 --> 01:04:04.119
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be able to hit, and he'll get

1103
01:04:04.119 --> 01:04:07.920
<v Speaker 2>the opportunities in his his new home to do just that.

1104
01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:13.400
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think he fit into the cubs overall

1105
01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>plans because of those defensive challenges.

1106
01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:18.159
<v Speaker 1>Totally agree. I'd love to see him move to first

1107
01:04:18.199 --> 01:04:20.639
<v Speaker 1>pie if you look at a shot at the Angels,

1108
01:04:20.679 --> 01:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>but it's a perfect landing spot for him. He's going

1109
01:04:23.039 --> 01:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>to play him.

1110
01:04:23.880 --> 01:04:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Sure, if he's around, he's going to hit. I

1111
01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:35.159
<v Speaker 2>think the guy yeah, and the Cubs. Hey, let's let's

1112
01:04:35.199 --> 01:04:37.480
<v Speaker 2>face it, the Cubs had to do something as far

1113
01:04:37.519 --> 01:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>as their bullpen. You know, they have Webb Thornton Fielberg.

1114
01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Now they've got Zephyr John That helps their bullpen significantly

1115
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:51.079
<v Speaker 2>because let's, let's let's face it, we don't know what

1116
01:04:51.400 --> 01:04:55.920
<v Speaker 2>is going to happen with Daniel Palencia. He's been hurt

1117
01:04:55.960 --> 01:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>off and on most of the year. Apparently he's you know,

1118
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:04.000
<v Speaker 2>on the verge of another rehabit assignment and back up.

1119
01:05:04.079 --> 01:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>But the Cubs had to get into the bullpen arm

1120
01:05:06.960 --> 01:05:10.119
<v Speaker 2>they can't count on Boantee this year based on what

1121
01:05:10.199 --> 01:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>we've seen, so yeah, it sort of made sense. I have.

1122
01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, I think it was just one of

1123
01:05:16.559 --> 01:05:20.639
<v Speaker 2>those situations where it's not gonna fit. They had to

1124
01:05:20.719 --> 01:05:23.280
<v Speaker 2>do something with them, and they're not going to have

1125
01:05:23.360 --> 01:05:25.519
<v Speaker 2>them in the everyday lineup. That's not going to happen.

1126
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Overall, I think the Cubs did well. I think they've

1127
01:05:28.639 --> 01:05:33.400
<v Speaker 1>reloaded with their pitching and they've got Gossman, they got Peterson. Again,

1128
01:05:33.639 --> 01:05:36.280
<v Speaker 1>these aren't top of the rocatation guys anymore, but I

1129
01:05:36.280 --> 01:05:39.599
<v Speaker 1>don't think they need that, and I think I think

1130
01:05:39.639 --> 01:05:42.559
<v Speaker 1>they have a chance to possibly catch the Brewers, if

1131
01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:45.119
<v Speaker 1>not make it into the more securely make it into

1132
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:47.239
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. I like what they did there, but I

1133
01:05:47.400 --> 01:05:52.559
<v Speaker 1>absolutely love what the Angels did. Finally they're doing stuff,

1134
01:05:52.679 --> 01:05:56.199
<v Speaker 1>and you know they they've got the oh I can't

1135
01:05:56.239 --> 01:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>remember who the the filling GM is there, but it's

1136
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>not a great job. He had a great draft and made.

1137
01:06:02.159 --> 01:06:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Some really smart moves for the Angels.

1138
01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>They're actually getting some guys that can play, and I

1139
01:06:09.360 --> 01:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>think they're going to be I think the Angels will

1140
01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:12.519
<v Speaker 1>be a different team in a couple of years because

1141
01:06:12.559 --> 01:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of these moves they made at this deadline and some

1142
01:06:15.119 --> 01:06:18.519
<v Speaker 1>of the draft picks they've made. So I'm really slightly

1143
01:06:18.599 --> 01:06:19.639
<v Speaker 1>bullish on the Angels.

1144
01:06:21.480 --> 01:06:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I did, the bar is set so

1145
01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:28.239
<v Speaker 2>frigging low there. It's a good thing. But at the

1146
01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:31.280
<v Speaker 2>same point in time, Yeah, it's a low bar, isn't it.

1147
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:34.199
<v Speaker 2>At least it's going, it appears to be going in

1148
01:06:34.280 --> 01:06:36.280
<v Speaker 2>the right direction. The best thing that can happen to

1149
01:06:36.360 --> 01:06:38.039
<v Speaker 2>that team is new ownership, I think.

1150
01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree, yeah, but hey, at least they're on

1151
01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the fringes at the moment and trying to trade around

1152
01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:44.679
<v Speaker 1>the frenches.

1153
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Which is good.

1154
01:06:45.400 --> 01:06:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Two more trades here, Timmy, the Astros acquire salts of

1155
01:06:48.079 --> 01:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>our show. Before you mentioned that for Spencer ari Gettia,

1156
01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:54.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming you liked it for the blue Jay side.

1157
01:06:56.159 --> 01:07:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I did dal Var show his he was. He

1158
01:07:02.960 --> 01:07:05.159
<v Speaker 2>was yoking them all over the place last year. He

1159
01:07:05.239 --> 01:07:08.320
<v Speaker 2>had big homers and limited at bats. Look at the bat,

1160
01:07:08.440 --> 01:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>look at the launch angle. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep.

1161
01:07:14.920 --> 01:07:19.400
<v Speaker 2>And Arragetty is the type of army and the stuff's good.

1162
01:07:20.119 --> 01:07:22.400
<v Speaker 2>There's no dobting the stuff. It's just whether or not

1163
01:07:22.519 --> 01:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>he managed to trying the way to get it over

1164
01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:28.599
<v Speaker 2>home plate. And sorry was in that same situation. There's upside,

1165
01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:35.079
<v Speaker 2>there's upside out of the Arragedtty trade. And yeah, like, hey,

1166
01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:40.159
<v Speaker 2>I like Dalton bar Show defensively. Yeah he's he's the

1167
01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:44.199
<v Speaker 2>number one outfielder in Houston right now. Yeah, he'll play

1168
01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:46.400
<v Speaker 2>center field. You'll run everything down, You'll do what the

1169
01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Astros need. Raghetty will do with Jason. It was a

1170
01:07:49.800 --> 01:07:50.719
<v Speaker 2>good trade. I like it.

1171
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean the get somebody in the outfield, and I

1172
01:07:53.840 --> 01:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>mean I don't think a lot of the offensive upside

1173
01:07:56.960 --> 01:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of Barship, but he definitely can run it down. Totally

1174
01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>agree with you there. I've got him one Dynasty League

1175
01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:06.119
<v Speaker 1>and it's back and forth, starting lineup percentting on the

1176
01:08:06.159 --> 01:08:06.559
<v Speaker 1>bed tea.

1177
01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't know.

1178
01:08:08.599 --> 01:08:09.639
<v Speaker 1>He's not a very good player.

1179
01:08:12.199 --> 01:08:16.239
<v Speaker 2>No, it's defense. He yearns his keep based on the defense.

1180
01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Yep.

1181
01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:19.880
<v Speaker 2>And and it makes sense for the Astros to gloat

1182
01:08:19.880 --> 01:08:20.359
<v Speaker 2>and get him.

1183
01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I took a look at his war war from

1184
01:08:23.079 --> 01:08:26.680
<v Speaker 1>last year was two point two based on his swing changes.

1185
01:08:26.720 --> 01:08:30.159
<v Speaker 1>It's one point one this season, so it did not work.

1186
01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Whatever he's doing has not worked. No, and that one

1187
01:08:34.720 --> 01:08:37.680
<v Speaker 2>point one of that one point one one point zero

1188
01:08:37.920 --> 01:08:39.079
<v Speaker 2>is based on the defense.

1189
01:08:39.479 --> 01:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Could be he's been he's been an off, he's not

1190
01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:45.239
<v Speaker 1>been very good offensive. Last last trade is the race trade, bricks.

1191
01:08:45.239 --> 01:08:47.279
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna do another one after this. The reason I

1192
01:08:47.359 --> 01:08:49.640
<v Speaker 1>put this down here because I thought it was fascinating.

1193
01:08:50.560 --> 01:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>The Rays acquired Liam Hicks, which you know Catcher who

1194
01:08:54.800 --> 01:08:57.359
<v Speaker 1>has got fourteen home runs of going for memory and

1195
01:08:57.800 --> 01:09:00.359
<v Speaker 1>hits the ball eighty six miles an hour with the launch.

1196
01:09:00.439 --> 01:09:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea how the power came out. I

1197
01:09:03.960 --> 01:09:06.159
<v Speaker 1>do not think this is a power This is a

1198
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Lewis and Wise at Catcher right. He makes incredible contact

1199
01:09:10.720 --> 01:09:13.479
<v Speaker 1>and he got he's got five to eight home run power.

1200
01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:16.920
<v Speaker 2>But maybe the brains has even more than I do.

1201
01:09:17.119 --> 01:09:20.319
<v Speaker 1>But they grabbed him hot start.

1202
01:09:20.880 --> 01:09:22.800
<v Speaker 2>He got out of the gates strong. I think of

1203
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:25.479
<v Speaker 2>his fourteen home runs, he had twelve of them in April,

1204
01:09:25.840 --> 01:09:29.439
<v Speaker 2>or ten of them. He got off to a ridiculous start,

1205
01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:32.359
<v Speaker 2>and then he settled into who he is yep.

1206
01:09:32.640 --> 01:09:35.000
<v Speaker 1>But which is not a power hitting home It's not

1207
01:09:35.079 --> 01:09:36.039
<v Speaker 1>a power guy at all.

1208
01:09:36.039 --> 01:09:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I want to make sure everybody's clear on that, Yes

1209
01:09:38.920 --> 01:09:43.479
<v Speaker 2>he is not cal Riley. But they gave up some.

1210
01:09:43.560 --> 01:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Really good prospects for him, and I kind of wanted

1211
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>to go why they why they did that, and it

1212
01:09:48.039 --> 01:09:52.439
<v Speaker 1>was really the Marlins. I mean, first of Bradon Taylor

1213
01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:55.399
<v Speaker 1>was he and Henry Lelange both who got moved, which

1214
01:09:55.439 --> 01:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>is pretty fascinating. Where my two bounce back players of

1215
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the year, Adrian's antana is a few milkshakes away from

1216
01:10:05.840 --> 01:10:08.720
<v Speaker 1>putting on weight and hitting with more power and having

1217
01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a chance to be cg abrams that the profiles of

1218
01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:16.039
<v Speaker 1>them are really similar, and then Jacob Kissing is actually

1219
01:10:16.039 --> 01:10:18.159
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good player. So why did they give up

1220
01:10:18.199 --> 01:10:22.079
<v Speaker 1>so much for Liampicks? Because they could? To me, and

1221
01:10:22.560 --> 01:10:28.079
<v Speaker 1>over the last two seasons, they've been accumulating players prospects

1222
01:10:28.800 --> 01:10:31.319
<v Speaker 1>just and I know because that's that's what I do.

1223
01:10:32.239 --> 01:10:36.359
<v Speaker 1>And many of them are coming up this December. That

1224
01:10:36.439 --> 01:10:38.079
<v Speaker 1>they either got to be put on the forty man

1225
01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:41.960
<v Speaker 1>or DFAD and put on the Rule five draft, and

1226
01:10:42.359 --> 01:10:47.319
<v Speaker 1>they needed to trim their minor leagues, particularly experienced minor leaguers,

1227
01:10:47.439 --> 01:10:49.479
<v Speaker 1>and that's what they've been doing. So a lot of

1228
01:10:49.520 --> 01:10:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the trades they did, they overpaid because they could to

1229
01:10:53.680 --> 01:10:57.039
<v Speaker 1>get the guy they wanted, and it helped them free

1230
01:10:57.159 --> 01:11:02.439
<v Speaker 1>up their forty man problem that the Dodgers are constantly

1231
01:11:02.600 --> 01:11:04.439
<v Speaker 1>doing this. They did a trade.

1232
01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I forgot who was it, the the guy that's hurt.

1233
01:11:10.399 --> 01:11:15.119
<v Speaker 1>They traded the guy that's some some starting pitchers. Oh oh,

1234
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Chris Bubeck. They they traded for.

1235
01:11:18.760 --> 01:11:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they yeah, they yeah for Chris buck Yeah.

1236
01:11:22.359 --> 01:11:25.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So they they acquired Chris Bubeck, who's a good picture.

1237
01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>You take a look at his data, it's it's better

1238
01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:30.720
<v Speaker 1>stopped than you think. But there's a chance he won't

1239
01:11:31.079 --> 01:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>pitch in the season and he is, uh, he's gonna

1240
01:11:35.520 --> 01:11:37.399
<v Speaker 1>be a free agent in twenty twenty seven. Well why

1241
01:11:37.520 --> 01:11:40.319
<v Speaker 1>do this? Well, they're over the lem I mean, they

1242
01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:42.199
<v Speaker 1>got to make card decisions as well. So they move

1243
01:11:42.319 --> 01:11:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Carlos duran who's a guy that's on their forty man out.

1244
01:11:45.840 --> 01:11:47.479
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to be on their forty man because

1245
01:11:47.520 --> 01:11:50.079
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be other guys that replace him. So they

1246
01:11:50.159 --> 01:11:53.359
<v Speaker 1>took a gamble that bu Beck gets healthy sometime in

1247
01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:57.239
<v Speaker 1>August can help them in the playoffs or at the

1248
01:11:57.319 --> 01:11:58.039
<v Speaker 1>end of the season.

1249
01:11:58.520 --> 01:11:59.359
<v Speaker 2>And maybe he likes it.

1250
01:11:59.439 --> 01:12:01.439
<v Speaker 1>They're so much that he's you know, signs a team

1251
01:12:01.479 --> 01:12:04.840
<v Speaker 1>from the who knows, and Carlos Durant is a guy

1252
01:12:04.960 --> 01:12:09.079
<v Speaker 1>that is, you know, not going to not going to

1253
01:12:09.079 --> 01:12:12.520
<v Speaker 1>make the forty man and the Dodgers because of the

1254
01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>situation and they were able to make this trade. No

1255
01:12:15.039 --> 01:12:17.560
<v Speaker 1>other team would have done that besides the Rays, I mean,

1256
01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:18.359
<v Speaker 1>and take that.

1257
01:12:18.399 --> 01:12:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Kind of risk.

1258
01:12:19.399 --> 01:12:21.159
<v Speaker 1>So now that you know the Royals good a guy

1259
01:12:21.279 --> 01:12:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that might turn into something with it for a player

1260
01:12:24.119 --> 01:12:26.359
<v Speaker 1>that was going to give them a zero going into

1261
01:12:26.439 --> 01:12:28.560
<v Speaker 1>next season, that's where that deal was made. I thought

1262
01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>that was actually pretty cool.

1263
01:12:31.279 --> 01:12:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then and then yeah, and you know the

1264
01:12:34.399 --> 01:12:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Dodger side got something for nothingsrctly. Yeah, and if it

1265
01:12:38.520 --> 01:12:40.880
<v Speaker 2>turns out nothing for nothing, that's where they were in

1266
01:12:40.960 --> 01:12:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the first place.

1267
01:12:41.960 --> 01:12:43.439
<v Speaker 1>That's right. It just cost him. I I think it

1268
01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:46.199
<v Speaker 1>was half a million dollars in whatever the pro rated

1269
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>salary for Chris Buba. That's all it cost them. And

1270
01:12:50.119 --> 01:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to me, if I'm running that team, I'm taking I'm

1271
01:12:52.640 --> 01:12:54.600
<v Speaker 1>doing that deal every day of the week if I'm

1272
01:12:54.640 --> 01:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers, because all it did was cost me money.

1273
01:12:57.560 --> 01:13:00.560
<v Speaker 1>And if for some reason he gets healthy, Timmy, you

1274
01:13:00.640 --> 01:13:02.920
<v Speaker 1>got yourself a pretty good pitcher that could be a

1275
01:13:03.000 --> 01:13:06.359
<v Speaker 1>long man you know the playoffs, and that's not bad.

1276
01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, and You know what, when you start looking at

1277
01:13:10.439 --> 01:13:15.159
<v Speaker 2>Liam Liam Hicks that trade, the Marlins have got themselves,

1278
01:13:15.239 --> 01:13:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Joe Mack. They're set at Catcher for the next five

1279
01:13:19.960 --> 01:13:24.039
<v Speaker 2>six years, right with Mac. So you know, moving Liam

1280
01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Hicks makes total sense, doesn't it. And the race picking

1281
01:13:27.640 --> 01:13:30.319
<v Speaker 2>up Liam Hex makes sense because there are two gadgets

1282
01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:33.880
<v Speaker 2>prior to that, where Nick's Nick Fortis and Kenneth Piper.

1283
01:13:34.439 --> 01:13:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's for sure.

1284
01:13:36.479 --> 01:13:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that's an upgrade.

1285
01:13:39.439 --> 01:13:42.359
<v Speaker 1>That's an upgrade. Let's take our final break to me,

1286
01:13:42.439 --> 01:13:45.199
<v Speaker 1>then we'll finish up. Let's finish up now that we'll

1287
01:13:45.199 --> 01:13:48.119
<v Speaker 1>take our final break in on a happy note, because

1288
01:13:48.359 --> 01:13:50.359
<v Speaker 1>I think I sent you my right up on the

1289
01:13:50.520 --> 01:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Rockies trades. I know I beat up on them all

1290
01:13:54.680 --> 01:14:00.319
<v Speaker 1>the time, but I truly don't know what they're doing. Look,

1291
01:14:00.439 --> 01:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>they the Marlins acquired Victor vod Neck, who's got a

1292
01:14:02.920 --> 01:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>great army. He's kind of in that Zephyr John and

1293
01:14:05.920 --> 01:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Eric Miller kind of guy, you know, big Hunt mont

1294
01:14:08.760 --> 01:14:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Our guys. And they get cornered Connor Norby that nobody wants.

1295
01:14:12.479 --> 01:14:15.279
<v Speaker 1>He's not very good. And then you know, Aiden May

1296
01:14:15.439 --> 01:14:18.640
<v Speaker 1>is a right handed picture that's going to get destroyed

1297
01:14:18.680 --> 01:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>when he gets to uh to Colorado, and then and

1298
01:14:21.880 --> 01:14:26.800
<v Speaker 1>then they they they traded Brenton Doyle and yeah, that

1299
01:14:27.239 --> 01:14:32.239
<v Speaker 1>pretty much nothing in return. I Mason Adams who's going

1300
01:14:32.319 --> 01:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>to get destroyed, and Carlo's Vielma, who maybe turns into

1301
01:14:35.920 --> 01:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>something is I think he's an eight seventeen year old

1302
01:14:38.199 --> 01:14:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Dominican kid. But like, what are they doing? I mean,

1303
01:14:41.760 --> 01:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>what what are they doing?

1304
01:14:43.800 --> 01:14:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Wf okay, I mean like yeah, yeah, no, hey,

1305
01:14:51.239 --> 01:14:54.039
<v Speaker 2>I love what the White Sox did there. Yeah, it

1306
01:14:54.119 --> 01:14:57.079
<v Speaker 2>makes a whole lot of sense, total total. Yes, yeah,

1307
01:14:57.119 --> 01:15:02.399
<v Speaker 2>there's something or other change change of scenery. I'm not

1308
01:15:02.520 --> 01:15:05.479
<v Speaker 2>saying we're gonna look at the twenty third to thirty

1309
01:15:05.640 --> 01:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>version of Brenton Doyle moving forward, But why not take

1310
01:15:09.760 --> 01:15:12.039
<v Speaker 2>a chance from the cost is what it is? Why

1311
01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:15.680
<v Speaker 2>not pick up a senzatela? You know what I mean? Yeah,

1312
01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:20.520
<v Speaker 2>it's yeah, this was the last paper, This was.

1313
01:15:20.520 --> 01:15:22.920
<v Speaker 1>The last paragraph I wrote. Oh, this was on the

1314
01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Brent Doyle trade. If I'm reading this correctly, the Rockies

1315
01:15:27.000 --> 01:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>traded a legitimate big league big league player flawed but

1316
01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:33.800
<v Speaker 1>useful for a twenty one year old minor leaguer arm

1317
01:15:33.800 --> 01:15:36.199
<v Speaker 1>who will get eatn the live in Colorado and a

1318
01:15:36.279 --> 01:15:39.520
<v Speaker 1>sixteen year old lottery ticket that fits perfectly with what

1319
01:15:39.680 --> 01:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>we've come to expect from them, hands down with for

1320
01:15:42.079 --> 01:15:45.399
<v Speaker 1>the White Socks. Even if Doyle doesn't work out, it's smart,

1321
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:46.359
<v Speaker 1>low risk gamble.

1322
01:15:46.520 --> 01:15:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I that's a smart, low risk gamble. Yeah, it's the

1323
01:15:50.880 --> 01:15:55.279
<v Speaker 2>white Sox will survive with old Adams and Vielma.

1325
01:15:58.960 --> 01:16:02.439

1326
01:16:02.520 --> 01:16:04.920

<v Speaker 1>If he turns out to be Byron Buxton, I will,

1329
01:16:13.800 --> 01:16:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I will admit that I was wrong, But I mean,

1393
01:19:39.720 --> 01:19:44.760
<v Speaker 2>be doing the same thing. Bullpens Hey Andrew Andrew kit

1394
01:19:44.960 --> 01:19:47.239
<v Speaker 2>Kittridge looks like he's a closer in Baltimore.

1395
01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:51.039
<v Speaker 1>I know. I Yeah, I should have picked him up

1396
01:19:51.079 --> 01:19:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago when I saw you he

1397
01:19:52.800 --> 01:19:53.640
<v Speaker 1>was starting to get the gig.

1398
01:19:54.319 --> 01:19:55.399
<v Speaker 2>The guy that I picked up.

1399
01:19:55.560 --> 01:19:58.439
<v Speaker 1>For the closer such obviously, if Luke Weaver's available, that's

1400
01:19:58.479 --> 01:20:01.039
<v Speaker 1>the you gotta pick them up. Feels like Kate Smith

1401
01:20:01.359 --> 01:20:06.079
<v Speaker 1>from last season AFT, when uh the guy got what

1402
01:20:06.279 --> 01:20:08.840
<v Speaker 1>was so quickly we forget who was the closer for

1403
01:20:09.000 --> 01:20:12.680
<v Speaker 1>years in Cleveland that got busted? Uh for the uh

1404
01:20:13.560 --> 01:20:17.279
<v Speaker 1>yeah him gambling? Yeah, I can't even remember. I'm too

1405
01:20:17.359 --> 01:20:21.680
<v Speaker 1>tired to think. But my guy is Yovanni Cruz. That's

1406
01:20:21.720 --> 01:20:24.279
<v Speaker 1>the guy I'm going to be targeting. Targeted him last week,

1407
01:20:25.000 --> 01:20:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I got him in a couple of weeks. He's in Washington,

1408
01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:30.159
<v Speaker 1>is coming from the Yankees one hundred miles an hour.

1409
01:20:31.640 --> 01:20:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Rosters has him sitting in the seventh inname. I think

1410
01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:38.439
<v Speaker 1>you're going to see him getting some clothes, uh save

1411
01:20:38.520 --> 01:20:42.000
<v Speaker 1>opportunities here soon and going forward. I think that's the guy.

1412
01:20:42.439 --> 01:20:43.439
<v Speaker 1>That's the guy for me.

1413
01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:47.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's you know, Sam Bachman's got the job. If

1414
01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:51.079
<v Speaker 2>you can you can stay healthy. I think the Angels

1415
01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:56.560
<v Speaker 2>well yeah, yeah, and there that's Jeff John went gone.

1416
01:20:56.640 --> 01:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>That's right. That's a good call because I had Bachmann

1417
01:20:58.800 --> 01:21:01.199
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of leagues and and suffer John, and

1418
01:21:01.239 --> 01:21:02.800
<v Speaker 1>then I just gave up with both of them because

1419
01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:05.840
<v Speaker 1>no one was getting any save opportunities because I could

1420
01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:07.239
<v Speaker 1>go back into the Bakman world.

1421
01:21:08.520 --> 01:21:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, hey, the Twins picked up Jeff Hoffman,

1422
01:21:11.560 --> 01:21:14.319
<v Speaker 2>but you Angrys Gomez has been basically lights out there

1423
01:21:14.319 --> 01:21:15.840
<v Speaker 2>are they's gonna hand it to Hoffin?

1424
01:21:16.960 --> 01:21:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I think they don't.

1425
01:21:19.560 --> 01:21:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I Lord, yeah, yeah, writing that up, I'm just laughing.

1428
01:21:33.960 --> 01:21:37.079
<v Speaker 1>same same thing with the pirates, right, if you're making

01:21:37.119 --> 01:21:39.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot of money, you're gonna get the You're gonna

1430
01:21:39.039 --> 01:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>get the gig and Hoffin's making a lot of plus

1431
01:21:41.560 --> 01:21:43.199
<v Speaker 1>he's saved thirty three games last year.

1432
01:21:46.640 --> 01:21:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, he was up down, all over the place

1435
01:21:59.640 --> 01:22:02.039
<v Speaker 2>he was all over the He might again.

1436
01:22:01.920 --> 01:22:04.119
<v Speaker 1>He's not. He might not keep the job. He's going

1437
01:22:04.199 --> 01:22:06.760
<v Speaker 1>to get a shot at the job, there's no I think.

1439
01:22:11.439 --> 01:22:14.840
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to be chasing all over the place.

1440
01:22:14.920 --> 01:22:17.119
<v Speaker 2>I've already picked him up in one league I play

1441
01:22:17.159 --> 01:22:20.359
<v Speaker 2>in this fast Finger or fast Finger like Dylan Smith

1442
01:22:21.159 --> 01:22:23.960

1446
01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:34.199

<v Speaker 1>got it right.

1450
01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:42.920

<v Speaker 2>the Discord the discord chat was lively all day, and

1466
01:23:36.399 --> 01:23:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I've expanded my humor repertoire courtesy of several of the

1467
01:23:40.359 --> 01:23:44.000
<v Speaker 2>gut I sit there. They they're pretty sure we had

1468
01:23:44.039 --> 01:23:46.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun. So hey, hats hats off to

1469
01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:50.680
<v Speaker 2>everybody that attended yesterday. It was a great time, a

1470
01:23:50.760 --> 01:23:55.039
<v Speaker 2>lot of fun, and hey, what can I What can

1471
01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:57.279
<v Speaker 2>I say? I would definitely be doing the same thing

1472
01:23:57.319 --> 01:24:00.359
<v Speaker 2>at same time next year. Good Lord Willing. It was.

1473
01:24:00.640 --> 01:24:03.439
<v Speaker 2>It was worth it, just talking up the game and

1474
01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:06.640
<v Speaker 2>chatting all the moves as they actually trans fired and

1475
01:24:06.760 --> 01:24:10.800
<v Speaker 2>getting getting different thoughts and opinions. It's a lot of fun,

1476
01:24:10.920 --> 01:24:11.359
<v Speaker 2>it really is.

1477
01:24:11.479 --> 01:24:14.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. My three favorite days of the baseball season Opening

1478
01:24:14.279 --> 01:24:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Day number one, uh, spring Training, open Day, maybe two,

1479
01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and then definitely three. Two or three would be the yesterday,

1480
01:24:23.920 --> 01:24:28.479
<v Speaker 1>the deadline. I just I love it. It's exciting, there's

1481
01:24:28.560 --> 01:24:30.880
<v Speaker 1>hope in the air. I mean it's it's it's the

1482
01:24:30.920 --> 01:24:34.359
<v Speaker 1>same as like Opening Day. You've got teams that are

1483
01:24:34.399 --> 01:24:36.800
<v Speaker 1>getting these kids and now there's hope for the future.

1484
01:24:37.199 --> 01:24:39.199
<v Speaker 1>And you get Casey miz and you think you're going

1485
01:24:39.279 --> 01:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to make it into the playoffs. It's just a win

1486
01:24:41.079 --> 01:24:42.479
<v Speaker 1>win everywhere. I love it.

1487
01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But for me, I lean to more. It's more

1488
01:24:45.800 --> 01:24:49.079
<v Speaker 2>of the fantasy side. Like I like Opening Day, but

1489
01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:53.520
<v Speaker 2>it's behind Draft Day, and it's behind trade deadline day

1490
01:24:54.520 --> 01:24:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and then Opening Day. It's just my fantasy roots. I

1491
01:24:57.720 --> 01:25:00.880
<v Speaker 2>am sitting down and doing that for draft on a

1492
01:25:01.479 --> 01:25:05.520
<v Speaker 2>sixty seventy second clock and read draft leads. Yeah, that

1493
01:25:05.680 --> 01:25:08.479
<v Speaker 2>to me is yes, but don't you.

1494
01:25:08.640 --> 01:25:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Think that yes? Or well just a day Tuesday Sunday's

1495
01:25:13.199 --> 01:25:15.279
<v Speaker 1>waiver war was very important because there's a couple of

1496
01:25:15.319 --> 01:25:18.640
<v Speaker 1>guys that you grow. Isn't this Sunday's waiver war going

1497
01:25:18.680 --> 01:25:21.800
<v Speaker 1>to be really important based on you know, the guys

1498
01:25:21.840 --> 01:25:23.880
<v Speaker 1>that have moved around, to the opportunities and all the

1499
01:25:23.960 --> 01:25:26.520
<v Speaker 1>things that we've talked about. That's a really important day.

1500
01:25:27.880 --> 01:25:31.119
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it is in a big way. And I'm just

1501
01:25:31.640 --> 01:25:33.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, I've already got the article written and pick

1502
01:25:33.640 --> 01:25:36.000
<v Speaker 2>up everybody who's going to play full time after the

1503
01:25:36.119 --> 01:25:41.000
<v Speaker 2>trade deadline and search out closers. Okay, they inherited a job,

1504
01:25:42.039 --> 01:25:43.399
<v Speaker 2>simple article, rich, right, but.

1505
01:25:43.479 --> 01:25:47.439
<v Speaker 1>That comes from the deadline day. That's I mean, that's

1506
01:25:47.479 --> 01:25:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Sunday everything does everything.

1507
01:25:49.680 --> 01:25:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeh, yeah, No, guaranteed you can solve your staves problem

1508
01:25:56.560 --> 01:25:58.680
<v Speaker 2>next week and you're going to be able to survive

1509
01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:02.359
<v Speaker 2>to all. So fill it in some holes very nicely.

1510
01:26:02.479 --> 01:26:05.640
<v Speaker 2>On the offensive side of things, the only the only

1511
01:26:05.720 --> 01:26:10.159
<v Speaker 2>thing starting pitching. No, it's going to be all about

1512
01:26:10.239 --> 01:26:14.119
<v Speaker 2>the bullpends and finding bats, right.

1513
01:26:14.600 --> 01:26:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's about finding the closer that's that's

1514
01:26:18.399 --> 01:26:20.560
<v Speaker 1>going to get the job, and then some bats and

1515
01:26:20.680 --> 01:26:24.239
<v Speaker 1>then who's what's opening up because the guys moves on.

1516
01:26:24.520 --> 01:26:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought we might see the center fielder from uh

1517
01:26:28.239 --> 01:26:33.279
<v Speaker 1>from the Rets from the Mets come back came up

1518
01:26:33.359 --> 01:26:35.800
<v Speaker 1>for a brief spell earlier this season. But then I

1519
01:26:35.920 --> 01:26:41.359
<v Speaker 1>saw that Lewis robertson, Yeah, Louis Robert j not him,

1520
01:26:41.399 --> 01:26:44.159
<v Speaker 1>I was. I saw that he's now healthy again. Let

1521
01:26:44.239 --> 01:26:45.079
<v Speaker 1>me tell you that.

1522
01:26:48.800 --> 01:26:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Was a bit of a surprise. I thought they'd try

1523
01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:52.319
<v Speaker 2>and move Robert. Maybe there was no interest.

1524
01:26:53.319 --> 01:26:56.439
<v Speaker 1>It might be the same as Devin Williams. I'm thinking

1525
01:26:56.479 --> 01:26:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Nick Moore be. It would have been nice to see.

1526
01:26:58.880 --> 01:27:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, so, but yeah, it's not to happen, mm hmm. Yeah,

1527
01:27:05.960 --> 01:27:08.039
<v Speaker 2>because let's face it, the future of that team is

1528
01:27:08.159 --> 01:27:12.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be based around a j Ewing and Carson Binge.

1529
01:27:14.880 --> 01:27:18.319
<v Speaker 1>And well, come on, I think it's also Lonsto. I

1530
01:27:18.359 --> 01:27:19.119
<v Speaker 1>mean I think that's.

1531
01:27:19.119 --> 01:27:21.159
<v Speaker 2>That's yeah, that's a given.

1532
01:27:21.279 --> 01:27:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, so's look, I think if they're smarter this time,

1533
01:27:26.840 --> 01:27:29.000
<v Speaker 1>but they're gonna they won't be. They're just gonna go

1534
01:27:29.119 --> 01:27:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in and spend like drunk and sailors over the off

1535
01:27:31.960 --> 01:27:33.880
<v Speaker 1>season and clog it up again.

1536
01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:38.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know what a positive note, the club host

1537
01:27:38.039 --> 01:27:40.279
<v Speaker 2>Karen has got to be better now because Sodo is

1538
01:27:40.359 --> 01:27:43.800
<v Speaker 2>on the IL, right, Yeah, I guess so, I guess so, yeah,

1539
01:27:44.640 --> 01:27:45.279
<v Speaker 2>that is a round.
