00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,120
If you're watching on YouTube, great, all right, how's it

18
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:22,879
going over there?

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,239
Speaker 2: If you're watching on YouTube, I gotta I gotta tell you.

20
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,760
I'm I got my glasses. I got new glasses. I

21
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,560
don't know if you can tell, but I have new

22
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:38,719
glasses and they they gave me the the gradient, so

23
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,079
I have to like tilt my head.

24
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,519
Speaker 4: I feel like Robert de Niro in Casino.

25
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: Like I'm like what or is it or is Robert

26
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,760
de Niro at the end of Goodfellas. It's like I

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,000
I can't see unless I tilt my head up.

28
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: It's not great, man, it's not great.

29
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: I feel like I really is like, uh yeah, I'm like,

30
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:08,159
you know, trying to see stuff, and I'm like, uh

31
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,240
I got I'm like leaning back forty degrees in order

32
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,199
to see anything. There's gonna be so many typos this

33
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,080
week on Raspball. I can't see anything, like I honestly,

34
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,879
and then if I look down at my keyboard, I

35
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:27,080
can see, but as soon as I look up, I

36
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:27,919
can't see. Again.

37
00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: This is terrible.

38
00:02:30,159 --> 00:02:34,719
Speaker 2: Who thought gradient lenses were a good idea? I honestly,

39
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:38,000
I'm I feel like I'm so blind now I'm wearing

40
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:40,840
glasses and I can't see anything. Who thought of this?

41
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,639
This is terrible?

42
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't know agree, I'm not.

43
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: I hate wearing glasses, so I try to avoid that

44
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,960
as much as possible. It does look like if you

45
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,280
put some tape right in the middle of your new

46
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:56,000
glasses that you could be like every single like nerd

47
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,520
from a eighties movie, Like you would just have like

48
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,680
that pece of tape across the big middle, the big bridge.

49
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,599
Speaker 2: Actually, so what I thought about doing is like trying

50
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,360
to jimmy something. So my glasses are up like a

51
00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,639
half inch off my nose. So it's like this. See

52
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,319
now I can see well, but I can't hold my

53
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,759
glasses like this. The whole time, I'm holding my glasses

54
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:26,520
like an inch off of my nose.

55
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 4: And this is not great.

56
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: I think you have to go back to the pink fedora.

57
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,080
You have to take a piece of fishing line tied

58
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,479
from the fedora.

59
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,879
Speaker 1: To your glasses.

60
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 4: Up.

61
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: I could just like go behind my ears and go

62
00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:47,759
like this and tilt my glasses up with my fingers

63
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:50,439
pushing on the back of the glasses.

64
00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:51,719
Speaker 4: By my ears, you.

65
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: Get those strings that connect to the back. You can

66
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,479
run that through the back of your shirt.

67
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: You belt, you're so, you're brilliant.

68
00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:03,159
Speaker 2: I have like croakies, but I'll be pulling on them

69
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:10,560
like I'm a puppeteer. It's brilliant. Why did I think

70
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:12,520
of that? Oh that's all I gotta do. I'll tell

71
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:14,319
cougs go buy me some crokies.

72
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,959
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's exactly the solution. Gray and uh, I

73
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,879
don't think this this call up is the solution to

74
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,839
the white Sox problems, but hey, it's it's a good

75
00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:31,519
step forward, hopefully, if that is Brandon Montgomery. He got

76
00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:34,439
the call up and fifty six games across Double A

77
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,160
and Triple A, has ten on runs, five stone bases.

78
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: He's sitting three fourteen, four, twenty two, five forty eight, twenty.

79
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:43,879
Speaker 3: Four point eight percent strikeout right, fifteen percent walk rate.

80
00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:46,920
He's got like four games of the Majors recording this

81
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,399
Sunday afternoon, So there may be things that happen to

82
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,560
the numbers as we're talking about them, but four games

83
00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:56,199
the Major so far, home run two sixty seven, twenty

84
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:58,680
five percent, strikeout rate, six point three percent walk rate.

85
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,079
Speaker 1: Again, it's four games, so it's whatever. What are your

86
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:04,439
thoughts here on Brandon Montgomery. Uh?

87
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: Actually, I kind of I liked Brandon Montgomery. You're you're

88
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,000
sort of you. I feel like you're you're bringing down

89
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
my enthusiasm a little bit. I was a bad before

90
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,480
U before you started talking.

91
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,399
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, I mean I don't know.

92
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:23,879
Speaker 2: He looks good to me. He's a switch hitter. They

93
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,120
brought him up to and they're gonna play them. I mean,

94
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,079
it's not like it's a nova, uh Martes type situation.

95
00:05:30,319 --> 00:05:33,600
There's a there's no reason to promote them, uh, except

96
00:05:33,639 --> 00:05:36,560
for the play them. So I mean, you know, White

97
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,560
Sox are not a bad They're not a bad lineup.

98
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:43,120
I think they're I looked actually today, they're seventh in

99
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,720
the league for ops.

100
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 4: So it's a good lineup.

101
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,319
Speaker 2: And uh, Brandon Montgomery to me looks like he has

102
00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:53,800
good power, good speed, hits for a good he hit

103
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:56,079
for a good average all throughout the miners. You know,

104
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,879
we'll see he's probably close to a twenty five percent

105
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,319
strikeout rate, maybe twenty seven twenty five to twenty seven

106
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:08,399
percent strikeout rate, probably hits like maybe two forty to

107
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:12,439
two fifty in the majors. But power and speed that works.

108
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,079
I mean, I don't know if it's necessarily for every

109
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,959
single league. Even though I probably would pick him up

110
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:20,879
in every league, I don't know if you're gonna necessarily

111
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:22,920
hold on to him in every league. You're probably you

112
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,639
might drop him in the shallows of leagues for you know,

113
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,639
other bats that are on waivers. But in the twelve

114
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,759
teen mixed League, I could see grabbing Brandon Montgomery and

115
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,600
him turning into something. I honestly I kind of like him.

116
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,800
I'll be honest with you.

117
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 4: I'm I'm a fan.

118
00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: I think you know, everything looks good, even in the

119
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:46,319
small sample size that you know, as of this recording,

120
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:50,639
only four games, but he's got an almost fifty five

121
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,639
percent hard hit percentage. Obviously it's super small sample size.

122
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,160
I mean, you know, it's like you kind of can

123
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,439
just throw that out, but I throw it out anyway. Yeah,

124
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,879
I mean, I don't know. It looks you know, we'll

125
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,000
see what happens if he crashes and burns and you

126
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,920
need to drop him to drop him, but a flyer

127
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,800
on upside like he.

128
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: Has, I'm interested, man, I don't know, we'll see.

129
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: I think you know, if I were to say for

130
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,120
this year, I wouldn't put his numbers probably at more

131
00:07:26,199 --> 00:07:34,560
than like say, twelve to fifteen homers, five to seven steals.

132
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,079
Speaker 4: To fifty average, So you.

133
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,079
Speaker 2: Know, I mean, it's not like not gonna light the

134
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,319
world on fire, but as a fifth outfielder in case

135
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,720
he does come up and is hot, yeah, I'm with it.

136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,279
I have bids for him in multiple leagues, as you know,

137
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,519
as we record this on Sunday, so we don't know

138
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:59,279
exactly what bids are going to come to fruition, but

139
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:02,160
I have him probably in every league. I have him

140
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:05,519
as my top guy to get. I like him more

141
00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:08,560
than the other call ups we're gonna talk about, And

142
00:08:08,639 --> 00:08:09,199
I kind.

143
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: Of like the other call ups too, but I like

144
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,079
Brandon Montgomery the most.

145
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think he's the best hitter of

146
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:18,920
the group and generally consider the best prospect of the

147
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:21,600
group that we're going to talk about. My only concern

148
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,720
is the launch angle for the Miners was one point

149
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:28,879
nine degrees. That coincided obviously with a pretty high ground

150
00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:30,160
ball rate forty nine.

151
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: Percent this year at Triple A.

152
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,799
Speaker 3: It's been higher through a few games in the Majors,

153
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,240
but again it's been four games, so there's really not

154
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:40,639
any kind of set standard yet at the majors. That's

155
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,440
my only concern, Forum, But you're right, I mean, he

156
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,440
has power, he has a little bit of speed, has

157
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,759
always had a decent control of the bat in regards

158
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:52,840
to strikeouts, average, that kind of thing. So I agree

159
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,559
you would pick him up pretty much across any league.

160
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,759
There's somebody who should probably be grabbing him. Just looking

161
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:02,120
across you know, our parts league, and let's take a

162
00:09:02,159 --> 00:09:04,480
look at some of the players who are either on

163
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,720
the bottom of the rosters or you know, maybe free

164
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:13,279
agents rather of him, or you know, fairly disappointing South Franly.

165
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Brandon Montgomery and also like I mean, you know,

166
00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:23,120
I saw the home run he hit on I want

167
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,159
to say, he hit a walk off homer on Thursday

168
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,080
or maybe it was it was his first game up anyway,

169
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,799
and he hit a walk off homer to the uh

170
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,279
he had it to the opposite field.

171
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: It is really easy power.

172
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't you know, like you said, the

173
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:40,200
ground balls are probably a little bit concerning, but he's

174
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:46,559
got easy power. I would say probably thirty five homer

175
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,759
power over the course of a full season. So yeah,

176
00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:51,919
he can get in, he can get into uh, he

177
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,440
can get into the ball. So yeah, definitely over Southreelick

178
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,080
though for sure is off all.

179
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if i'd he's thirty five, but yeah,

180
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,240
he does have he does have some decent power there.

181
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:07,399
How about him or you know, supposedly good power Kerry Carpenter.

182
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, I don't know.

183
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:15,039
Speaker 2: I you know, carry Carpenter is tough because you kind

184
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:17,879
of have to uh platoon him, and it's better in

185
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,360
a daily league to do that because he never starts

186
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,279
against lefties, and you don't want him to start against lefties.

187
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,759
Speaker 4: But so, but I would still go. I would go.

188
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: Kerry Carpenter over Brandon Montgomery.

189
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:32,279
Speaker 1: All Right, one more, how about fellow rookie Ryan Walshmith.

190
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 2: Oh, I would go definitely Montgomery.

191
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:39,399
Speaker 3: Okay, I think that one depends a little bit on

192
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,559
whether I need speed or power, but I think in

193
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,120
general I would take the gamble on Montgomery hitting the

194
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,960
ground running. You know, Walshmith's been fine, He's just been

195
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,000
kind of boring, and that was that was always a

196
00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:55,679
little bit of the profile was he would be be

197
00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:57,919
a solid hitter, but there's not a ton for our

198
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,480
game necessarily there spright off the bat. Moving over to Colorado,

199
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,039
they called up Cole Carrig triple A this year fifty

200
00:11:07,039 --> 00:11:09,679
seven games, six home runs, thirty stolen bases.

201
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: He's sitting three thirty eight four fourteen, five nine. He

202
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,200
is a fifteen point two percent strackout rate in a

203
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,320
ten and a half walk rate. He actually has two

204
00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:22,039
home runs so far over five games. He's sitting two

205
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,679
eleven since being called up. What's your thoughts here on

206
00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:26,639
Cole carry.

207
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, they actually the Rockies have a career, a career,

208
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,200
a team record for runs in a game and the

209
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,679
game's not even over yet. They just scored their twenty

210
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,679
third run.

211
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:42,919
Speaker 4: Against the A's.

212
00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:46,519
Speaker 2: At the the Rockies are playing in Vegas, so it's like,

213
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:55,919
so imagine cores without the humidifier. Imagine cores if Colorado

214
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,360
was one hundred and ten degrees in and dry heat

215
00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:11,080
so dry, like like Srias is dry, like awful dry. Yeah,

216
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,679
you know, Cold Carrig is probably, like I said to

217
00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:18,480
people like Brandon Montgomery or cold Carrag is for me

218
00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:21,840
is basically a coin flip, where like I like Brandon

219
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,399
Montgomery a little bit more from a soul like batted

220
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,039
ball profile kind of thing. But Cole Carrig, as I

221
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,799
said on ras Ball, I think col Carrig could be

222
00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:35,159
better than Brandon Montgomery this year. So they're really closed

223
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,600
like Cold Carrig for for me, like I feel like

224
00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:43,279
Cold Carrig has a disadvantage in one big way is

225
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,000
that like I don't think he's gonna hit for as

226
00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:49,960
good average, But the positive is he's in cores, so

227
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,559
that I.

228
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 4: Mean that could fix a lot of things.

229
00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: Like you know, Coke Carrig could be potentially hit for

230
00:12:56,759 --> 00:12:59,360
a higher average than Brandon Montgomery simply because of the

231
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,679
Cores fat here. You know, Cores has a higher babbitt.

232
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:06,840
You know, the White Sox is their stadiums obviously not Cores.

233
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,960
So yeah, but I will say Brandon Montgomery over Cold Carrig.

234
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,919
But they're pretty similar in that they both have power,

235
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,159
both have speed. Carrig's strikeouts probably gonna be a little

236
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,200
I would guess they're gonna be a little bit higher.

237
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,360
His walk rate is definitely gonna be a little bit lower.

238
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:30,559
His speed is a little bit better than Montgomery, but

239
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,879
his power is a little bit less. But then again,

240
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:36,679
you have Cores, so they could really be very similar.

241
00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:38,279
Speaker 4: I liked them both.

242
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: Like I said before, I put in bids for a

243
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,240
Brandon Montgomery, I guess. But by the time people listen

244
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,440
to this, my fanb will already be over. So I

245
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,879
could just say I put in seventy seven dollars out

246
00:13:49,919 --> 00:13:50,960
of one thousand dollars.

247
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,759
Speaker 4: So I put in seventy seven dollars.

248
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,399
Speaker 2: Bids for Brandon Montgomery and Cold Carig for both of them.

249
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,720
So I have Brandon Montgomery above Cold Carrea on my

250
00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:05,639
U in priority. So I would take Brandon Montgomery over him,

251
00:14:05,919 --> 00:14:08,679
but I have him for except I have him for

252
00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:11,879
the same amount in FAB so I like them both.

253
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:17,279
I think, uh, Cole Carrig is like worthwhile and just

254
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,279
like I said, with Brandon Montgomery, any league, really, I

255
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:21,840
mean I have actually I have.

256
00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:24,759
Speaker 4: Cole Carrig in our RCL league, which is a twelve

257
00:14:24,799 --> 00:14:28,639
team mix league. So I'm I'm happy. I'm happy to grab.

258
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,399
Speaker 2: Either of them. They're really like it's like splitting hairs,

259
00:14:32,399 --> 00:14:37,840
which one I like fifty one forty nine Brandon Montgomery,

260
00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:39,039
but very close.

261
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. Just from my bat and ball perspective,

262
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,279
Brandon Montgomery.

263
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: It's a little harder. They both have a little bit

264
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,919
of a ground ball issue in regards to their bat

265
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,159
ball profile, but that's, you know, that's something that can

266
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,840
be kind of worked out. And also it's still very

267
00:14:56,879 --> 00:14:59,440
small sample sizes in regards to these guys. They are

268
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:04,440
still very young, so both worthwhile. Both can be targets

269
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,960
for you if you're looking for people. I would say

270
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,000
Montgomery's better from a power and probably average perspective, as

271
00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:15,399
you said, and then character would be better, I would

272
00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:18,759
assume from a stolen bases perspective, although, like I said,

273
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:20,799
you already had two home runs in five games, which

274
00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:22,159
I did would not have expected.

275
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:27,759
Speaker 1: But it is the right circumstances. As you mentioned, they

276
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:29,240
are in Vegas, and that is just.

277
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,799
Speaker 3: A crazy, crazy place to be hitting right now and probably.

278
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,879
Speaker 4: For the future. Oh my god.

279
00:15:34,919 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: I just oh, yeah, absolutely, yeah. Like people are like, oh,

280
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,720
there's a minor league park in Vegas. It's like, yeah,

281
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,120
but the elevation and the heat is not changing once.

282
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,519
I mean, the Vegas Park will be indoors, but the

283
00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:51,720
elevation is not gonna change. Like when the A's moved

284
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,120
to Vegas permanently, the ball is gonna fly.

285
00:15:55,919 --> 00:15:56,759
Speaker 1: It's gonna fly.

286
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,799
Speaker 2: Man. I was saying on Rasbell the other day, like

287
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,200
if I could bet right now, then Nick Kurtz will

288
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,759
be a future Hall of Famer if he stays with

289
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,720
the A's for his career. I mean, I'd make that

290
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:11,879
bet because like, Nick Kurtz is gonna he's in a

291
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,080
He's in a tiptoe to five hundred homers really easy

292
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,559
in that, Like, if he stays healthy in Vegas, Oh

293
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,559
my god, man, it's gonna be crazy.

294
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: I just actually just realized that the Rockies the Rockies.

295
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,039
Speaker 2: And as the game is right now, it's twenty three

296
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:34,840
to nine, and the Rockies are they were facing Carlos Cortes,

297
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,080
a hitter who's pitching.

298
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:42,799
Speaker 4: So they're in Vegas and they're facing a guy who's

299
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:43,720
not even a pitcher.

300
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:50,399
Speaker 2: Very nice, very nice, well well thought out Vegas as

301
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,879
a destination for.

302
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: A team, just an infinite lifetime or for that guyes.

303
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,159
At least he gets to pitch, though you know, he's

304
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:03,399
he's not got a whole lot else to do. He's

305
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,920
usually taging, so at least he has something to do

306
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:06,480
with his time.

307
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: Now, good for him. Let's move over Gray, Let's talk

308
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,039
about Cooper Pratt.

309
00:17:11,079 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 3: It was called up by the Brewers this year on

310
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,079
tripa A six, on runs, seventeen stolen bases.

311
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:19,519
Speaker 1: He's hitting two forty four, three fifty three, three ninety two.

312
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:22,440
He's a fourteen point three percent strikeout rate and a

313
00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:26,039
thirteen point two percent walk rate. The bat and ball

314
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,000
is not overly impressive here. What are your thoughts on

315
00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:29,839
Cooper Pratt?

316
00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:37,279
Speaker 2: Not overly impressive with a fourteen point three percent strikeout

317
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,720
rate and he's hitting two forty four and he's got

318
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:46,039
forty steal speeds forty steel speed. Yeah, I would say

319
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,319
not impressive. That's an understatement.

320
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:49,519
Speaker 1: Man.

321
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 2: I don't know where they've the Brewers. I was saying

322
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:58,039
this for Louis Laura too, who they also signed the Brewers.

323
00:17:58,039 --> 00:18:01,400
That is, they signed him to a long term contract.

324
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 4: And I imagine.

325
00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 2: Laura is gonna be up very soon as well as Pratt.

326
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,000
And I was saying this for Laura on Friday, that like,

327
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,759
he looks like a poor man's Bryce Terrang. Uh and uh,

328
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,039
Cooper Pratt awesome, Like I they're I think they're cloning

329
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,200
Bryce terraangs and which and with each clone they're getting slightly.

330
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:32,599
Speaker 4: Less Bryce Terrang each one. It's wondering they're wading down

331
00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:33,519
Bryce Terrang.

332
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know if you remember multiplicity grade,

333
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,359
but that's essentially the plot, is what you're explaining. Now,

334
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:47,240
the more clones they make, the the less quality builds

335
00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:49,720
you're you're getting, you know, you step away.

336
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,799
Speaker 2: So yeah, exactly, that's that's exactly what I was goodning at.

337
00:18:55,279 --> 00:19:00,359
So uh yeah, So Cooper Pratt, I mean if I mean,

338
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,279
I feel like, if you are a baseball fan, you

339
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,920
should be able to know that if like a guy

340
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:13,359
has like a fifteen percent strikeout rate and has forty

341
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,680
steel speed and is hitting two forty four in the minors.

342
00:19:17,279 --> 00:19:19,519
You should be able to figure out, like how hard

343
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:22,799
he's hitting the ball. Like that's that's a pretty good

344
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,279
giveaway that a guy is hitting the ball extremely weak.

345
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,759
Which is also it's kind of funny because like he

346
00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:34,480
also has a little bit of power, but apparently everything

347
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,160
that doesn't go out of the stadium, it's like a

348
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,680
ground ball to second base. He hits a lot of

349
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,599
ground balls a second base like Cooper Pratt. Yeah, I

350
00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:46,960
mean I like him for you know, so okay, so

351
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:50,680
I've been on him for NL only because.

352
00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 4: You know, he's got speed.

353
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 2: Speed travels as far as like you know, getting promotion

354
00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:58,400
goes like you know, it's not like he's going to

355
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,839
get promoted to the majors and lose his speed. So

356
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:07,039
steals matter for NL only. I could see even in

357
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,960
a fifteen team mix league, if you know, if you

358
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:14,680
really need steals and an am, I I could see

359
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,880
a I could see a flyer on Cooper Pratt in

360
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,799
a fifteen team mix league. I I think like I

361
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,519
looked at him in our RCL and then I was like, nah,

362
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,880
I don't need it, but if you are really desperate

363
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,200
for steals, I could see potentially I could see pick

364
00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:34,039
him up in a twelve team mix league. I personally

365
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,720
I did not, but I could see it other than

366
00:20:37,799 --> 00:20:41,440
steals though, Like there's a chance he could hit two

367
00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:47,079
ten with like you know, some steals and be and

368
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,759
hit ninth like ninth in the order and just be

369
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,960
kind of useless. So I mean, it's fine for a

370
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,359
flyer if you really need steals, I wouldn't expect much else.

371
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.

372
00:21:02,079 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a whole lot there other than

373
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,279
maybe some steals. And that's assuming he can get on base.

374
00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:10,880
That he's kind of just in that classic sagged off mold.

375
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,960
If you absolutely need solen bases, and even then probably

376
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,759
pop him in for a day and then pull him

377
00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:18,480
back out whenever your roster is full again, at least

378
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,480
on a twelve team or even probably a fifteen team league.

379
00:21:21,519 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: Really moving over.

380
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,279
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the Cardinals. They have sent Nolan Gorman

381
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,160
down because he's hitting all of one ninety four gray.

382
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,000
They have called up Blaze Jordan. He has eleven home runs,

383
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,720
two stone bases. He's hitting three thirteen eleven and a

384
00:21:36,759 --> 00:21:38,519
half percent strikeout right in a seven and a half

385
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:41,400
percent of walk rate. What are your thoughts on Blaze

386
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,720
Jordan taking over for Nolan Gorman here just blows.

387
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 4: I you know, I kind of like the I kind

388
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:49,640
of like.

389
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,519
Speaker 2: Blaze Jordan more than more than Cooper Pratt, you know,

390
00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:57,440
even though like usually we go in order of the guys.

391
00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:00,920
I like, I actually put Cooper Pratt on the outline,

392
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,160
so it's my fault. It's my fault where he's located

393
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,680
on this outline. I kind of like Blaize Jordan Moore.

394
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:10,480
I mean, I don't think like so Blaze Jordan. To me,

395
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:14,480
he looks like probably Nolan Gordon. Like best case scenario

396
00:22:14,759 --> 00:22:20,000
is he's Nolan Gorman with a better average. Not I

397
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,680
don't know if I'd go as far as saying a

398
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,720
three hundred average, but like you know, Noan Gorman, like

399
00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:27,160
you mentioned, he was hitting one ninety four, So I

400
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,440
would say Blaize Jordan's probably in the two fifty to

401
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,319
sixty range.

402
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 4: He has.

403
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 2: He has some power though, like Nolan Gorman had, so

404
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:40,799
I would say, you know, potentially fifteen homers the rest

405
00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:44,359
of the way, if you know, he stays in the lineup,

406
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,119
and and does you know he plays every day, which

407
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,440
I would imagine he does, if he's if he starts,

408
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:55,519
if he keeps hitting, I would say, no real speed,

409
00:22:56,039 --> 00:23:00,359
so I mean limited, you know, kind of limited, you know,

410
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,680
I would say, and now only definitely obviously fifteen team

411
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:12,079
mix league. Sure, if you really need a cornerman, I

412
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,799
think there might I mean, there might be better, even

413
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:17,839
in a fifteen team mix league, there might be better.

414
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,319
But I could see a flyer on Blaize Jordan in

415
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,799
a fifteen team mix league. I think he's you know,

416
00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:30,039
if you're saying realistically, fifteen homers, two to four steals,

417
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,039
two fifty average to fifty five, it's fine.

418
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,319
Speaker 4: I mean it's pretty eh.

419
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,759
Speaker 2: So, definitely not twelve team mix league unless he's you know,

420
00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:46,440
unless he gets hot and then it's like you're just

421
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,720
picking him up because he's a hot bat. But as

422
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:51,519
of right now, I would put him in, like, you know,

423
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:57,880
sort of cornerman fifteen team mix league. Range and a

424
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,920
little bit of power, no real speed and a little

425
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:02,799
bit of average.

426
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of corner and field replacements. Great, let's let's

427
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,160
help the people out. Let's talk about some possible replacements.

428
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,359
As you know, we Jornavni Plaze Jordan coming up, but

429
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:19,039
Jose Ramirez continues the handmate bone injury as well as

430
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,119
Vinnie p both have hanmdmate bone injuries.

431
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,279
Speaker 1: They're going to miss some time.

432
00:24:25,519 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: So this is so I don't have Jose Ramiers in

433
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,160
any leagues. But when I heard Vinnie Pascatino had a

434
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:36,279
hamm at bone fracture, I actually I put up some

435
00:24:36,319 --> 00:24:39,720
streamers and I started celebrating. Is that the fact that

436
00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:42,079
I was able to get Vinnie Pascatino out of my

437
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,480
lineup without me having to do anything personally to him.

438
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,720
You know, things are looking up for me. It was

439
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,400
I was a I was looking for a reason to

440
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,960
take them out of my lineup for about a month now.

441
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 4: So thank you, Yeah, I mean you in the preseason.

442
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,759
Speaker 2: I got to give my man beat On some props

443
00:25:13,759 --> 00:25:17,480
because in the preseason you said you didn't like Vinnie Pascatino,

444
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:23,680
and I was like, nah, you crazy, I said you crazy,

445
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,119
And I was actually the crazy one.

446
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: At least one guy a year, Gray, one guy a year.

447
00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:33,279
Speaker 3: I get right over you and I will hold it

448
00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:36,359
over your head, just like I got everybody right.

449
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: Even though you are the number one.

450
00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 3: Ranker over the last three years. I will still hold

451
00:25:43,759 --> 00:25:47,480
my rankings over your head that I tell you I'm.

452
00:25:47,319 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: Right on and hold that conviction strong. Yes.

453
00:25:51,559 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 3: Speaking of that, let's talk about those first base replacements. Gray,

454
00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:57,960
let's do an early waiver wire section. Just throw some

455
00:25:58,079 --> 00:26:00,799
names out that people could be looking at, whether that's

456
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,960
corn or first base.

457
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: Uh well, I would say, uh so, okay, So Luis

458
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,960
Garcia Junior I like, but he's also he's in a platoon,

459
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:14,240
so you're gonna take that into consideration. Alec Baum has

460
00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:18,519
actually not been that bad after starting after being awful

461
00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:24,359
in April, he's been decent. Uh Manzardo has been decent recently.

462
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,839
Nova Marte actually has three homers in the last three games,

463
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,759
so he'll probably be on the bench for the Redex game.

464
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 4: So you know, there's that.

465
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 2: Ronald the Cunya Junior is injured again, and Mauricio Debon

466
00:26:42,039 --> 00:26:44,599
has been hitting lead off, which I don't.

467
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 4: Think that really makes any sense, but he has been.

468
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:54,039
Speaker 2: Kyle Carros he's been okay, and he also has home

469
00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:58,279
games and corps so and Rumfield for that matter.

470
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

471
00:27:00,039 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's about it for that's that's what I

472
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,279
got for you.

473
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 3: That's a good list there, Gray. That is that covers

474
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,440
a lot of bases in different leagues. Over in Dodger Land,

475
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,799
Will Smith is heading to the il. That means Dalton

476
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,000
Rushing is gonna get every day at bats, well mostly

477
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:21,000
every day at bats. Thirty nine games this year, he's

478
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,400
got eight home runs. He's sitting to seventy. Is this

479
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,759
any pickup in every format for catcher?

480
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, I don't know how much this reaches

481
00:27:30,279 --> 00:27:34,559
other people, because like I'm you know, I'm pretty plugged in,

482
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,319
and I'm also I also live in La so I

483
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,240
get a lot of Dodger news that maybe other people

484
00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:44,079
don't get. But Dalton Russian, and I don't say this

485
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,200
about a lot of people. He seems like he has

486
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,000
a stick up his butt. He does that. He seems

487
00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:53,279
like he seems like he's got an issue with every

488
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,519
Like it's like he gets a single and it's like

489
00:27:56,559 --> 00:27:57,559
Otani's like.

490
00:27:57,519 --> 00:27:58,519
Speaker 4: Doing his dance.

491
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 2: Russian is like he's like pissed off.

492
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 4: All the time. I don't know what it is.

493
00:28:05,839 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: And that doesn't really have anything to do with fantasy,

494
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,240
So I don't know.

495
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,559
Speaker 4: I just had to get that all.

496
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:15,519
Speaker 2: My chest, I guess rushing though for fantasy, I mean,

497
00:28:15,519 --> 00:28:18,880
he's been pretty good. I've I've had him in a

498
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,599
two catcher league for even when Will Smith was playing,

499
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,240
I had Dalton Rushing out there in my two catcher league.

500
00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:30,440
So now I would say absolutely because he's got every

501
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,640
day at bats until will Smith returns, and you know

502
00:28:35,319 --> 00:28:37,960
that you know as far as that goes, because like

503
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,160
with the Dodgers, they're really only playing for the playoffs.

504
00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:44,599
So if Will Smith is like, you know, not in

505
00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:48,960
not feeling well, and you know, like it could be

506
00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:52,839
back in a week, it could be back in three weeks,

507
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,599
it could be back in five weeks. I mean, who knows.

508
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,200
With the Dodgers, like they they give their guys a

509
00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:02,799
rest because as they can. So I you know, I

510
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,319
like Dalton Rushing as far as like, uh, you know, power,

511
00:29:06,519 --> 00:29:09,039
no speed, but he's a catcher, so whatever.

512
00:29:09,279 --> 00:29:09,519
Speaker 4: I mean.

513
00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 2: He makes great contact hitting for a good average.

514
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:14,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I.

515
00:29:14,799 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 2: Like him over forty percent hard hit. I'm I'm a fan.

516
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,240
As for uh yeah, for not only a two catcher

517
00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:27,359
league either, I would say at this point probably single catcher,

518
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,599
twelve team mix league if you need, if you need

519
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,000
a catcher. I could see adding rushing.

520
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I could definitely see a scenario where he's kind

521
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,160
of you know, you've been.

522
00:29:39,079 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: Streaming him it out.

523
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 3: You could definitely be one of those streaming catchers for you.

524
00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:47,160
I feel like this guy is the you know, the

525
00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:50,799
very bottom of the catcher one, just because of playing time.

526
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,079
Speaker 1: Carter Chanson or would you rather have Dalton rushing?

527
00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:56,039
Speaker 4: I would go rushing.

528
00:29:56,759 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: I would as well. How about him or Gabrielle Marine?

529
00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: Know, uhas at least solid.

530
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Marino hit a home run today, so I'd probably

531
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,640
just stick with Marino if I had him.

532
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably would too. How about how about Ryan Jeffers.

533
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: Oh, Ryan Jeffers, if he's healthy, for sure, but I

534
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,160
mean he's not healthy.

535
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,839
Speaker 3: I know he's not healthy right now. But I'm I

536
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:24,480
guess he's not coming back actually for a little bit.

537
00:30:24,599 --> 00:30:27,359
Never mind, that was a poor pool de Gray, my bad.

538
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,240
How about how about Joe Mack?

539
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,799
Speaker 2: Oh, actually, I'm I'm dropping Joe Mack in a two

540
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,559
catcher league.

541
00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:37,759
Speaker 4: I'm I'm done with Joe Mack. We had we had

542
00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:41,119
a good run, but I mean he did homer today

543
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:41,880
on Sunday.

544
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: But I think it's like two homers and he's hitting

545
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,720
like two fifteen or something.

546
00:30:47,759 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 4: He's been miserable. He is not it's not been good.

547
00:30:51,359 --> 00:30:54,559
And I think it's two homers in two fifteen.

548
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,839
Speaker 2: But like I said at the start of the show,

549
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,880
I can't really see anything anymore.

550
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:06,039
Speaker 3: So how about how about back up Bingbong Stadium Jonaheim?

551
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: No, no, not, no, rushing over Jonaheim.

552
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:12,119
Speaker 4: I mean, okahin's a streamer.

553
00:31:12,359 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: If you're in, if you're in Bangbog, Yeah, got it.

554
00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:20,759
Speaker 3: Let's go to York where they are just continuing to

555
00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:24,480
pile up the injuries. One way or another, Jason Dimingez

556
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,720
finds his way back as Trent Grisham hits to the

557
00:31:26,759 --> 00:31:30,839
IL this year in triple A or Domingos has five

558
00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:35,400
runs Tintil bases, he's sitting three eighteen. I mean, we

559
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,200
know he can hit a triple A. Is he gonna

560
00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:38,839
hit at the major league level?

561
00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:39,079
Speaker 1: Grade?

562
00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: Should we be grabbing him? Grab him over all of

563
00:31:42,519 --> 00:31:44,160
the prospects we've talked about so far.

564
00:31:47,359 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 2: Well, I would grab him over Pratt and Jordan.

565
00:31:50,359 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 4: I wouldn't.

566
00:31:51,279 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: I wouldn't necessarily over Montgomery and Carrick. Uh.

567
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,039
Speaker 4: I would go to Montgomery Carrig Domingas. But I do

568
00:31:59,200 --> 00:31:59,960
like Domingos.

569
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: I think there's a place for him, Like I I

570
00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:03,599
have him.

571
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,759
Speaker 4: I have Diminga's in a twelve team mix league.

572
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 2: I'm very I'm fine with it for now. I mean

573
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:13,079
he's got As of right now, he's hitting I think

574
00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:16,200
he's hitting second in the Yankees lineup between Ben Rice

575
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,680
and Cody Bellinger. He had a home run on Saturday.

576
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,960
As you mentioned, He's got power and speed, and he's

577
00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:27,079
always torn up the minors and he's only twenty three

578
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,880
years old. I think there's still a chance Diminga's can

579
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,279
catch on. I don't I want to write him off.

580
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,000
I actually I kind of like Jason Domingos for you know,

581
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,480
if nothing else For right now, while Grisham is on

582
00:32:40,519 --> 00:32:43,279
the IL, I would take a flyer on diminga Is

583
00:32:43,319 --> 00:32:45,119
to see if he's like, you know, if he gets

584
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:50,279
hot and he's like you know, he.

585
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 4: He cements himself into the lineup because there's room there.

586
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:57,119
Speaker 2: I mean, Spencer Jones isn't very good, you know, Paul

587
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,039
Goldsmid is what he is, and there's Ryan McMahon's. I mean,

588
00:33:02,079 --> 00:33:04,880
there's a lot of iffy stuff going on in the

589
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:09,160
Yankees lineup, and Judges and't coming back until August, So

590
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:15,160
I would grab Dominga's because even if Grisham returns, you know, promptly,

591
00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:17,000
Domingas could still.

592
00:33:16,759 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 4: Have at bats in that lineup. So yeah, I like Dimingos, Yeah.

593
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: I do too.

594
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: I would take them over all the prospects that we're

595
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,720
talking about, just if we're talking about raw numbers, whether

596
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:31,559
we're looking at like what they've done in the majors

597
00:33:31,759 --> 00:33:33,559
or just the bad ball profile.

598
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,319
Speaker 1: The Kisses is pretty much the best of the group.

599
00:33:38,039 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 3: Maybe there's pieces of the other guys like you mentioned Blaze, sorry,

600
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,279
Brandon and Carrick, maybe there's pieces of them that are better.

601
00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:51,200
But you know, if everything clicks, it's Jason Domingaz is

602
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,880
the best of this group. Unlast year, in one hundred

603
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,759
and twenty three games, he went channel runs twenty three

604
00:33:56,759 --> 00:34:00,359
stone bases to fifty seven. You know, I told you

605
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,880
either of any of those prospects, we're gonna do that,

606
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:06,480
like they'd be viewed as a pretty successful year for them,

607
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,800
and the Mingus has already done that. So I will

608
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,199
go ahead and just pick up Jason Mingaz if he's

609
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,159
still out there over those guys, But I understand wanting

610
00:34:14,199 --> 00:34:16,400
to take a little bit of a different path as well,

611
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:19,760
since we have seen him and we know that when healthy.

612
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,480
The Yankees, you know, I think they prefer to us

613
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,199
back down to the miners for whatever reason, unless he

614
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:31,599
does absolutely rake upon call this time over in Atlanta,

615
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:35,079
Spencer Streider is heading to the IL with elbow soreness.

616
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: That's I really hope this doesn't become his narrative for

617
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,800
the rest of his career. Grade it's it started so strong,

618
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,800
but Jr. Richie is back on the On the positive side,

619
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,679
he's been successful in the miners and the majors for

620
00:34:49,679 --> 00:34:50,239
the most part.

621
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 3: This year, Kate Ray is gonna hover in like the

622
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,800
nineteen twenty percent, so that's the ideal. Walk rate's a

623
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,239
little elevated as well, so this could also open up

624
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:05,400
starts for our boy, really your boy, Diddy, what's your

625
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,320
thoughts on the Atlanta pitching situation?

626
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: Oh, Man, Diddy or Flint is? I mean that would

627
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,880
be amazing? I think I think, uh, I don't know,

628
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,360
I think, uh, unless you know something, I don't know.

629
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,920
I think they're pretty happy with Flentez in the uh

630
00:35:21,039 --> 00:35:23,480
in middle relief, So I would imagine j R. Richie

631
00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:28,280
is the is gonna be the guy, and I like

632
00:35:28,559 --> 00:35:33,119
Flentes Bearlan Ritchie, I mean for our game for sure,

633
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,159
for uh, you know, for us, uh, at least for

634
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:36,920
right now.

635
00:35:37,079 --> 00:35:41,679
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, uh, j R. Richie could potentially

636
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:42,360
click at.

637
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: Some point, but uh, he's really kind of struggled with command,

638
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,599
so I I can't get really that excited about him.

639
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 4: I don't know. I I didn't put in any bids

640
00:35:53,039 --> 00:35:53,400
for j R.

641
00:35:53,519 --> 00:35:56,159
Speaker 2: Richie in any of my leagues, like his his command

642
00:35:56,199 --> 00:35:57,800
has been a mess.

643
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 4: In uh, Triple A and in the Major.

644
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,199
Speaker 2: So I I'm kind of like, if someone wants to

645
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,840
take a flyer on him, it's you know, it's on them.

646
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,199
Speaker 4: Maybe as a streamer potentially if.

647
00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:13,599
Speaker 2: He's got a good matchup, But I really don't see

648
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,039
a ton right now with JR.

649
00:36:16,119 --> 00:36:17,079
Speaker 4: Richie where I'm like.

650
00:36:17,119 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I could see, you know, I mean, at

651
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,000
some point he could click and break out and it

652
00:36:24,119 --> 00:36:29,079
could be. Why you know, he's well touted as a prospect,

653
00:36:29,199 --> 00:36:32,559
but you know, I don't see I don't see it

654
00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:35,679
so far. I mean, maybe, you know, maybe it's a

655
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:39,239
mechanics thing. I don't know, at some point it could happen.

656
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,519
I'm not saying he's always going to be terrible, but

657
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,000
for right now, I'm not really interested in him in

658
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,880
redraft leagues at least in a you know, in a

659
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,400
keeper in a dynasty. Then you do what you gotta

660
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,280
do for you know, Potentially down the road, I don't know.

661
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,920
I mean, you know, something could happen where he's good

662
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,599
at some point. The Stride stuff is pretty concerning though.

663
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:06,039
I mean I I was saying not to draft him

664
00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:09,400
this year because, like I, I just didn't, you know,

665
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,079
because just like last year just didn't really scream a

666
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,559
like there was issues with last year when uh, you know,

667
00:37:16,599 --> 00:37:20,760
when he returned, his command was off and there it

668
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,840
just didn't seem right unfortunately. I mean, it sucks to

669
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,800
say it because like I, you know, I have none

670
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,320
against Spencer Strider. I you know, I think the Spencer

671
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,679
Strider we saw though in those insane two years that

672
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,320
when he was really good. I don't know if we're

673
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,360
ever going to see them again, Like I I don't

674
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,000
there's no sign that they're coming back at any point.

675
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,760
And you know, now he's got elbow inflammation.

676
00:37:49,159 --> 00:37:52,079
Speaker 4: I you know, I don't know, man.

677
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 2: I unfortunately, Like I know, he's uh, he's scheduled to

678
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,280
go see uh doctor Keith Meister.

679
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,639
Speaker 4: Uh, the Tommy John.

680
00:38:01,039 --> 00:38:06,079
Speaker 2: Eister uh uh, the guy who's like, you know, taking

681
00:38:06,159 --> 00:38:08,880
over for doctor James Andrews as the number one time

682
00:38:09,079 --> 00:38:14,039
John doctor. And I mean, you know, Spencer Streids already

683
00:38:14,079 --> 00:38:16,960
had the you know, he's had these surgeries. Like it's

684
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,760
not it's not things aren't good for Spencer Stryder. Unfortunately,

685
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,559
it's it's sad because I mean he does you know,

686
00:38:24,599 --> 00:38:28,239
when he's good, he's so good. But I wouldn't be

687
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,320
shocked if we don't see him again for another eighteen months.

688
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 4: I don't know.

689
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm concerned that's happening as well. And when he

690
00:38:37,639 --> 00:38:40,000
does come back, I wanted to move to the bullpen

691
00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:42,000
is potentially in his future.

692
00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 3: You make a great closer if he can get the

693
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,599
velocity back, but I just don't know that if you

694
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:50,320
can hold up to starting. Unfortunately, so sad to see,

695
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,719
but grab Geo Richie and I would say in spots starts.

696
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 1: But the control is a concern. The strikeout rate is not,

697
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,440
like it's not at high to where it's worth taking

698
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,039
the gamble. Really on the walk rate, so it's really

699
00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:07,360
got to be kind of matchup based at this point.

700
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 3: And that's why I said Didier could potentially get opportunities

701
00:39:12,039 --> 00:39:14,920
is you know, Richie did struggle his first time up

702
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,559
with a little bit of the control, had a couple

703
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:19,920
of blow up starts, so that could potentially happen again

704
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,400
in Atlanta's definitely in the hunt of things, so they

705
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,400
could have a quick trigger figure with Richie and sid.

706
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 1: Him to go work on that in the minors. I think.

707
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 3: Somebody who was officially back Gray Jackson Turio five home

708
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,360
runs this week, hitting over four hundred, number one player

709
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,639
on the play Raider for the last seven days. Where

710
00:39:42,639 --> 00:39:44,159
are you putting him rest of season?

711
00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: Gray? What do you think of Jackson Turio?

712
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:52,039
Speaker 2: Mm, we're actually speaking of I would say the rest

713
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:55,360
of the season. He's probably around where I had him

714
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,480
in the preseason. I don't know if he's changed that much,

715
00:39:57,519 --> 00:40:02,800
maybe around ten overall. I Yeah, I mean I think

716
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,199
I had him within like percentage points of that coming

717
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:08,840
into the year, So yeah, I mean, not that different.

718
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:12,360
But I was thinking, actually, when you speak of the

719
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,960
rest of the season, I was thinking of Aaron Judge

720
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,960
and how he was, you know, he was the number one.

721
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,119
Well it was Otani or him in every league, right,

722
00:40:24,519 --> 00:40:27,039
And I was thinking, like, if Aaron Judge doesn't return

723
00:40:27,119 --> 00:40:30,320
until August, where is he going next year? I know

724
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,559
it's a little early to talk about twenty twenty seven,

725
00:40:32,639 --> 00:40:36,440
but like, I where do you think Aaron Judge goes

726
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,239
in twenty twenty seven?

727
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: Number two?

728
00:40:41,639 --> 00:40:42,039
Speaker 4: Yeah?

729
00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:45,519
Speaker 2: So you don't so you think there's no no real change, then.

730
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.

731
00:40:47,599 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 3: I mean the injury is injuries have always been the

732
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,239
thing with him, Like, if he plays one hundred and

733
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:57,000
fifty five games, you're getting one of the top two

734
00:40:57,119 --> 00:41:02,119
players in baseball on your team. If he doesn't, and

735
00:41:02,199 --> 00:41:05,880
he doesn't every you know, three or so years, then

736
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,440
you kind of short changed.

737
00:41:08,199 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll give you this scenario.

738
00:41:09,519 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 3: What he's going to be thirty five though, I mean

739
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,880
that's something that every other time he's come back, he's

740
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,079
been younger. So I that perspective, I understand it. But like,

741
00:41:18,119 --> 00:41:20,880
who's who's stepping up and taking his spot? I guess

742
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:22,559
is my my thing?

743
00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: Like who is.

744
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,119
Speaker 2: Otani is definitely continuing to be number one, So it's

745
00:41:29,159 --> 00:41:34,320
like I think Bobby Wood Junior as James Wood well,

746
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,159
I mean, we were talking about James Wood being a

747
00:41:36,199 --> 00:41:38,800
top ten guy at this time last year and then

748
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,519
his second half happened. So let's see, let's see a

749
00:41:41,559 --> 00:41:45,079
good second half from James Wood before we coordinate him.

750
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:49,800
But I would say Aaron Judge or Bobby Wood Junior

751
00:41:50,039 --> 00:41:53,159
as of right now, I guess is what you're looking at.

752
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,400
And I I'm not taking Aaron Judge.

753
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:58,119
Speaker 4: I don't think.

754
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, maybe I'm crazy, but so

755
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,159
let me say, let me say this scenario. What if,

756
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:11,280
like Aaron Judge returns in August and is like sixty

757
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:14,320
percent of what he usually is for the rest of

758
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,400
the season. That doesn't re injure himself, but it's like,

759
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:23,039
you know, hits like two sixty with like maybe fifteen

760
00:42:23,119 --> 00:42:26,480
homers the rest of the way, You're you're you're totally

761
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,679
taking him at number two overall.

762
00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 3: I could see the case for Win if if you know,

763
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,239
he returns and doesn't look good again.

764
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: The age is probably my.

765
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 3: Biggest concern, and that it just kind of lingers in

766
00:42:40,559 --> 00:42:43,440
a younger person that wouldn't necessarily be his concerned.

767
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,039
Speaker 1: I could see the case for Win. I don't really

768
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:47,880
have a problem with that.

769
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 3: I think Jose Ramirez would be in that discussion, but

770
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,320
he's now got the hm.

771
00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:55,599
Speaker 1: A bone maybe like CJ.

772
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 3: Abrams, if he just continues, he know has the track record,

773
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:02,480
plus he'll have the big season, so you can potentially

774
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:03,719
put him in that discussion.

775
00:43:05,039 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: But I like to know.

776
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,519
Speaker 2: Atually I have a guy who possibly So I don't

777
00:43:10,559 --> 00:43:13,039
know about number two because he doesn't have really the

778
00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:16,000
steals that help with the fantasy value.

779
00:43:16,039 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 4: But what about Nick Kurtz? Obsolutely I love Nick Kurtz,

780
00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:26,599
but like his so like we're not even.

781
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: It's like mid June and he stays healthy and he

782
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:35,480
goes through Sacramento for like he goes bingboging for the

783
00:43:35,519 --> 00:43:42,039
rest of the season, hits forty five two ninety one

784
00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:47,920
hundred and twenty RBIs one hundred runs, you know whatever.

785
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 4: Steals he gets twelve steals, Like he's still like, I feel.

786
00:43:51,559 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 2: Like Nick Kurtz is the guy that we thought Vlad

787
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,480
could be after twenty nineteen.

788
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I just needed to stay in minor league

789
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,039
parks like Theick Kurtz, if that happened, everything would have

790
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:08,719
been fine.

791
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 2: That's true. Why didn't he just stay in a minor

792
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,039
league park? Why didn't he have to get called up.

793
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I don't know.

794
00:44:22,039 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 2: I was just thinking that with Aaron Judge because I

795
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,280
was like, you know, because if he doesn't come back

796
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,639
until August, I don't know. I don't know if people,

797
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,119
I mean, maybe people draft him second, I don't know.

798
00:44:34,159 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 4: I mean, you're don Alvarez.

799
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,039
Speaker 2: Will be it, He'll be in the discussion if he

800
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:41,000
continues this pace. Like, there's a lot of guys who

801
00:44:41,039 --> 00:44:43,360
if they continue their pace at this point, so it

802
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,880
is still early. I was just thinking, because Judge doesn't

803
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,480
really have a pace to continue right now. If he

804
00:44:49,639 --> 00:44:52,880
just comes back in August, that's a long you know,

805
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,519
that's a long time to be out to continue to

806
00:44:56,559 --> 00:45:00,159
be like to lead into the next year and be

807
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:01,440
the second pick overall.

808
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 4: I don't know. Maybe, I don't know. I just wonder. Anyway,

809
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:06,679
back to Jackson Curio.

810
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 2: I have Jackson Curio in uh my labor league, and

811
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,679
I will say that he's basically turned He's turned around

812
00:45:19,679 --> 00:45:21,719
my life. I feel like he's turned around my entire

813
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,760
team because like, for a while I was really struggling

814
00:45:26,679 --> 00:45:30,000
for hitting. Even though you know, I've drafted well, I

815
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:32,760
drafted Vinnie Pascatino, So there is that.

816
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 4: But I feel like.

817
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,159
Speaker 2: Churio man like he is, he looks great if he

818
00:45:39,199 --> 00:45:42,840
could just if he could just look like not. You know,

819
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,000
I don't expect five homers a week from and hitting

820
00:45:46,039 --> 00:45:49,119
four hundred, but if he can just have like a

821
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,239
good rest of the season, oh man, it would it

822
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,039
would be so helpful for.

823
00:45:54,079 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 4: Me for I I do.

824
00:45:59,119 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 2: I do think it doesn't heard that he was also

825
00:46:02,079 --> 00:46:05,400
in like he was in Vegas part of this week,

826
00:46:05,679 --> 00:46:10,920
and that doesn't hurt ever, So yeah, we'll see. I

827
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:16,280
would say Churio is probably still you know, twenty to

828
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,639
twenty five homer guy versus like, you know, what he

829
00:46:20,679 --> 00:46:21,400
did this week.

830
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,679
Speaker 4: I don't think. I think Vegas helped.

831
00:46:25,199 --> 00:46:28,639
Speaker 2: Like he's got speed though, so you know, and he's

832
00:46:28,639 --> 00:46:31,000
also hits for a great average, So I you know,

833
00:46:31,079 --> 00:46:34,679
Jackson Curio is a totally well rounded player. Like if

834
00:46:34,679 --> 00:46:39,000
he goes twenty five, twenty five, three hundred, it wouldn't

835
00:46:39,039 --> 00:46:39,559
shock me.

836
00:46:39,639 --> 00:46:43,079
Speaker 4: And that's in you know, pro rated. Would he miss like.

837
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 2: Three three weeks in April or something, so yeah, I

838
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,719
mean that's a good season if he could do that.

839
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I miss he missed all of April in

840
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:54,639
a little bit of May.

841
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,679
Speaker 4: So okay, so there, dude.

842
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, to do what he's doing and get those numbers

843
00:46:59,519 --> 00:47:01,679
would be it's still a great season from him.

844
00:47:02,679 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: Him or a fellow four home run here this week,

845
00:47:06,199 --> 00:47:07,440
Barron Buxton.

846
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:14,599
Speaker 4: You know, I would still go Cheerio. But Buxton's looks.

847
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 2: Like a really solid one hundred and ten ish game guy.

848
00:47:20,119 --> 00:47:23,559
I mean, he's got he does like the thirty homers,

849
00:47:23,639 --> 00:47:28,000
fifteen steals in one hundred and ten games. That's a

850
00:47:28,159 --> 00:47:30,760
that's really good, pro rated. So yeah, I mean I

851
00:47:31,079 --> 00:47:34,000
don't mind Buxton, but I would go Cheerio over him.

852
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: How about your favorite Michael Harris, I'm assuming you go Cherio.

853
00:47:38,039 --> 00:47:41,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, Cheerio over Michael Harris a second for sure.

854
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,159
I yeah, I don't even think Michael Harris the seconds

855
00:47:44,199 --> 00:47:47,880
and he's not even in the same conversation as these

856
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:49,480
guys I don't think. I don't know.

857
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm obviously a hater.

858
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,159
Speaker 2: I'm a natural born hater when it comes in, But yeah,

859
00:47:56,199 --> 00:47:58,559
I mean he's that. I just goog I just searched

860
00:47:58,559 --> 00:48:02,039
on the player raider Michael Harrison seconds at fifty three overall,

861
00:48:02,199 --> 00:48:04,639
which is good. I mean there's nothing wrong with that,

862
00:48:05,039 --> 00:48:08,840
but that's about where I would put him. I think

863
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,920
if I was redrafting, I think Michael Harris a second

864
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,719
has proven to be around the you know, a top

865
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,880
fifty player, which is better than where I had him

866
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,480
in the preseason, don't get me wrong, but it's not

867
00:48:19,599 --> 00:48:20,599
at Cheerios level.

868
00:48:21,519 --> 00:48:24,119
Speaker 1: All right? How about Breakout of the season Jordan Walker.

869
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 2: I would go Cheerio over Walker. But I do believe

870
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,320
in Jordan Walker. I I it's not like I'm not

871
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,760
saying that, Like I'm not saying I would say Cheerio

872
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,079
over Walker, just as if like I don't believe in them.

873
00:48:38,119 --> 00:48:41,320
I really do think Jordan Walker is a great hitter,

874
00:48:42,559 --> 00:48:44,360
but I would go Cheerio over him.

875
00:48:45,079 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. And how about how about James Wood?

876
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,760
I mean, we know what happened last year? Would you

877
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:52,760
get out while you could?

878
00:48:53,199 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 2: That's really tough because that's like I keep like, for

879
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,480
you know, for the last couple of weeks, I was like,

880
00:48:59,559 --> 00:49:02,440
every time James Wood would hit a home run, I

881
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,840
would say in the roundup, like at this point last year,

882
00:49:06,039 --> 00:49:07,360
how many home runs he had?

883
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,159
Speaker 4: And you know, I think people started getting annoyed.

884
00:49:10,159 --> 00:49:14,079
Speaker 2: So I stopped doing it. But I mean, there is

885
00:49:14,159 --> 00:49:17,719
something to the fact that James Wood did exactly this

886
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,639
last year and like both of us, I mean, or

887
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,320
maybe not you, I'll speak for just myself. I know,

888
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,440
in my top one hundred for the second half, I

889
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,239
had James Wood in like the top five. Like I

890
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,960
assume James Wood was that guy, but we still haven't

891
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,800
seen a full season from him like this was. You know,

892
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,639
this is exactly what he did last year and then

893
00:49:39,679 --> 00:49:44,119
he fell off so tremendously. So I would go Cheerio,

894
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:48,280
but I mean, James Wood can absolutely be better than Cheerio.

895
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:49,440
So it's a tough call.

896
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, Honestly, I felt a lot better last year cow

897
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,280
it into the All Star Break about him than I

898
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,639
will this year, strictly because like last year, the strikeout

899
00:50:01,679 --> 00:50:04,159
rate had fallen. The Babbitt like was high, but it

900
00:50:04,199 --> 00:50:10,280
wasn't crazy and he was just destroying the baseball this year.

901
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,119
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a thirty.

902
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 3: Four point seven percent strikeout rate here in June, he

903
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,440
had a thirty two point three percent in April. I

904
00:50:19,519 --> 00:50:22,000
came down to May to twenty four percent, but like

905
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,679
to be high, you know, in the thirty.

906
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,039
Speaker 1: Percent range for strikeout rate.

907
00:50:27,079 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 3: I was hoping that would come down that I feel

908
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,559
like that's a good signaler for him. And then on

909
00:50:32,599 --> 00:50:34,320
top of that, you know, he's staring at a three

910
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,639
fifty nine babbit right now. He mashes the ball. He's

911
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,840
not without speed, so that makes some sense that his

912
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:46,800
babbit would be high. But it just it feels a

913
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,559
little bit too close to the last season plus a

914
00:50:49,599 --> 00:50:52,920
high strikeout rate. I fully believe he's going to be

915
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,960
a stud at some point. I would just you know,

916
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,039
if the strikeout rate ever came down, it would just

917
00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:00,000
make me feel a little bit better.

918
00:51:00,599 --> 00:51:03,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, completely, that's a you know, James Wood's a

919
00:51:03,599 --> 00:51:06,360
tough one because, like I know, for a fact, if

920
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,920
I were to say sell James Wood, people would be

921
00:51:10,119 --> 00:51:14,559
throwing tomatoes at my head because it's like he's so

922
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,320
fun like and I get it. It's like it's like

923
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,719
saying sell Jacob Miserosky. It's like, are you out of

924
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:25,079
your mind? You lost your marvels?

925
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 4: Like are you crazy? Sell who?

926
00:51:28,519 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 2: And so it's like, you know, it's hard because like

927
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,000
I know, even like I even said let's sell O'Neil

928
00:51:34,119 --> 00:51:37,280
Cruz and I got all kinds of people throwing tomatoes

929
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,639
at me because of like O'Neil Cruz is fun and

930
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:42,480
I get it. I mean, I understand they're fun. I

931
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,000
mean I I totally understand where people are coming from

932
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,719
and why you want, like you don't want to sell

933
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,840
like your top player on your team. But there is

934
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,039
a little bit of like, I don't know, man, James

935
00:51:55,079 --> 00:51:59,000
Wood has some real serious issues under the He's got

936
00:51:59,039 --> 00:52:03,639
some problems there. But we'll see. Hopefully James Wood is okay.

937
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:07,880
I mean I could see the case though that he

938
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:09,719
could potentially.

939
00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 4: Have a bad second half. Again.

940
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's dangerous and it's kind of that.

941
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,599
Speaker 3: You know, you're playing the stock market and just for

942
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,880
fantasy baseball players.

943
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 1: And you know you want to sell high. But where's

944
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,239
that high point is it?

945
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 3: Is it now or does he carry it through the

946
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,440
season and it's some time after the season.

947
00:52:31,039 --> 00:52:35,159
Speaker 1: H That's that's always the conundrum. Let's go ahead and

948
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,159
sang off up Gray over in Seattle Andres BuNos, who

949
00:52:39,159 --> 00:52:41,880
we kind of talked about last season or last week

950
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:43,639
in an unflattering light.

951
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,639
Speaker 3: He left the game with the trainer dealing with back tightness.

952
00:52:48,199 --> 00:52:50,760
Who is taking over in Seattle? Who are you grabbing

953
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:58,199
up this fabrin in Seattle if anybody, Uh, well.

954
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 2: I did. Actually I look to see if I could

955
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:04,880
pick up Jose ferrer so I so I figured he

956
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:11,000
would be even though he's a lefty. Bizardo is the righty,

957
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,000
so he could be the guy too.

958
00:53:14,639 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 4: And you know, they both have been good.

959
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,559
Speaker 2: So I actually look to pick them up in our

960
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,599
RCL league. I look to pick up both of them,

961
00:53:21,639 --> 00:53:24,400
and they were both already rostered. So you know, oh

962
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:29,639
well raspberry my lips. I yeah, I mean, I I

963
00:53:29,679 --> 00:53:35,440
think probably it's gonna be a committee if Munos can't go.

964
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,599
So I would say both Bizardo and Ferrari are are

965
00:53:39,679 --> 00:53:43,360
the pickups. I mean, you know, righty or lefty is

966
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,199
kind of depends on who the Mariners are going to

967
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,360
be facing in the ninth inning. So I don't know.

968
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,920
Maybe Bizardo, I guess, is probably a better bet because

969
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,840
he's a righty. But yeah, I mean it's I think

970
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,039
it's a coin flip as who were who would replace him?

971
00:53:59,079 --> 00:54:04,000
And I out Dan Wilson would even name a replacement

972
00:54:04,159 --> 00:54:05,599
if new Knows can't go.

973
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, also throw out Nick Deavilla. He's been throwing well

974
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,000
recently so if you're in a very deep league, probably

975
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:19,400
only there's another name if everybody else is taken over.

976
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,920
In Houston, Brian and Brad has gotten a couple of saves.

977
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,639
They're not apparently not throwing hater back to back yet.

978
00:54:25,079 --> 00:54:26,800
Are you hanging on to Brian and Brad who are

979
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,880
still happy to have him off of your team.

980
00:54:30,119 --> 00:54:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm still happy to not have Brian Abrado, even though

981
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,480
I did see he gotta he gotta save and I

982
00:54:36,519 --> 00:54:37,800
think he got a Vulture.

983
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 4: Win this weekend.

984
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,159
Speaker 2: It was it was a great time of me going

985
00:54:42,199 --> 00:54:46,880
through the box scores. Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't pick

986
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,599
Brian and Bray you back up, but I mean, you know,

987
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,320
I would say he's fine if you're in a league

988
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,599
where you can play middle relievers.

989
00:54:55,679 --> 00:54:58,039
Speaker 4: But like in a weekly.

990
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,280
Speaker 2: League, having a guy like that is tough. That's that

991
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,199
was the league where I dropped him. I dropped him

992
00:55:03,199 --> 00:55:06,079
in a weekly league. And you know, in a weekly league,

993
00:55:06,159 --> 00:55:10,400
it's like you can't have a guy a potentially an

994
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,639
empty spot in your lineup, like you have to you

995
00:55:13,679 --> 00:55:17,039
have to start. You know, either two start starters or

996
00:55:17,639 --> 00:55:20,239
a guy with a good matchup is better than a

997
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,880
mineral reliever who's just sitting there. But if you're in

998
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:25,760
a daily league, I'm fine picking up Bryan or Brady

999
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,199
I guess in a daily league.

1000
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely agree.

1001
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:34,159
Speaker 3: Over for the A's Elvis Alvarado had a couple of saves.

1002
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 1: Hogan Harris has saved as well. Is this just a

1003
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,760
full on committee or you still like one of these

1004
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:40,840
guys an a st closer.

1005
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we got to do a moratorium on

1006
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:46,920
the A's bullpen.

1007
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:50,079
Speaker 1: So it's so bad.

1008
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 2: I mean they're like Carlos Cortes might have the best

1009
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,440
of you Ray of all the A's relievers, and he's

1010
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:03,639
an outfielder, so I yeah, I wouldn't mess without Alvarado.

1011
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,719
But you know, if you're desperate for saves, Alvarado would

1012
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:08,840
be the guy I would go for.

1013
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would still go with Harris. I just feel

1014
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:12,519
like he's better.

1015
00:56:12,639 --> 00:56:15,199
Speaker 3: But if you're looking for saves, I think they're both

1016
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:19,079
gonna kind of just grab grab saves here and there. Unfortunately,

1017
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,920
over in Minnesota, I'm just gonna keep asking it every week.

1018
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,119
Is there a closer here? As Jon just Gomez gets

1019
00:56:26,119 --> 00:56:26,880
to save this week?

1020
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say Yon just Gomez is the guy,

1021
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:33,760
I think, uh, you know, it was.

1022
00:56:33,679 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 4: Probably it might have been when you were in Europe.

1023
00:56:36,519 --> 00:56:40,639
Speaker 2: But at a certain point I've I've come to terms

1024
00:56:40,639 --> 00:56:45,360
with the twins are probably not gonna be a good bullpen,

1025
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,800
but Gomez is okay to roster as of right now.

1026
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,599
Speaker 4: I would I would roster Gomez.

1027
00:56:50,639 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 2: I I if you need saves to me, even though,

1028
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,559
like I know, they haven't named him the closer to me,

1029
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,760
he's the He's the closer, if you know, I wouldn't

1030
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,320
speculate past Gomez though, Yeah that's fair.

1031
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: How about Baltimore Andrew Kittricks gets saved? Is he now

1032
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:08,920
the closer in Baltimore?

1033
00:57:09,039 --> 00:57:09,280
Speaker 2: Oh?

1034
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:14,199
Speaker 4: That's a mess? Man? Where's hell Why isn't Hellsley coming back?

1035
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 2: What?

1036
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:15,039
Speaker 4: Like?

1037
00:57:15,199 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 2: Hellsley I think went to the same rehab as Josh Hater, Like,

1038
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:20,199
what's going on?

1039
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:20,559
Speaker 1: Man?

1040
00:57:21,119 --> 00:57:25,119
Speaker 2: You don't need to throw? Just throw once in rehab

1041
00:57:25,119 --> 00:57:30,760
and you're good, let's go. I uh yeah, I would say,

1042
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,880
I mean, I don't know. I would say Hellsley is

1043
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,519
probably due back soon. So if you want to ignore

1044
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,239
the uh the Oreo's bullpen as of right now, I

1045
00:57:43,239 --> 00:57:46,440
would just ignore it. But if you really are desperate

1046
00:57:46,519 --> 00:57:51,079
for saves, I'd say probably still Rico Garcia, even though

1047
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,599
Kittridg's got that saved. Like Garcia at least has been good.

1048
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,199
You know, he's got like he's got a one something

1049
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,400
here Ray, So I would just go Garcia.

1050
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair enough. Over in the White Sox, Brian

1051
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,119
Hudson gets a save. He's also been used as an opener.

1052
00:58:07,159 --> 00:58:08,519
He's being used all.

1053
00:58:08,199 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: Over the place. Is he the closer?

1054
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 3: Is it Sir Anthony and Divengas? Is this just a committee?

1055
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,079
What's up with the White Sox bullping?

1056
00:58:18,199 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 4: Right?

1057
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,119
Speaker 2: I would go to Sir Anthony Domngaz. I think he

1058
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,920
I think he's the clear cut closer. It's just he's

1059
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:29,239
not very good. So you know, he coughs up, he

1060
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:35,039
coughs up, wins Loath saves. Grand Taylor is actually very good,

1061
00:58:35,639 --> 00:58:38,719
but they haven't I don't think they haven't committed to

1062
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,360
him as the closer. But he Green Tailor is great.

1063
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,400
I would I would roster grand Taylor just because he's great.

1064
00:58:45,559 --> 00:58:47,360
And you know, if you get a save or too,

1065
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,159
you get a savor too. But I think Domingaz is

1066
00:58:50,199 --> 00:58:50,800
the closer.

1067
00:58:52,239 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think just about everybody in that

1068
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:59,039
Bullpen has been better than Domngaz, but Dominya is still

1069
00:58:59,719 --> 00:59:02,119
so in there and hanging on to the job as

1070
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:03,760
as closer for now.

1071
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: Grant Taylor's been good.

1072
00:59:05,719 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 2: Brian, Yet I want to be I'm want to be

1073
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,400
shocked to see do Mingas get traded like that's that's

1074
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:13,519
kind of how it feels like.

1075
00:59:13,599 --> 00:59:14,519
Speaker 4: It's like the White.

1076
00:59:14,239 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 2: Songs are giving him saves just to boost his trade value,

1077
00:59:18,079 --> 00:59:19,719
and then they're gonna get rid of him and then

1078
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,760
Grand Taylor will take over in you know, uh July

1079
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:24,880
thirty first or whatever.

1080
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds that sounds about right.

1081
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:31,239
Speaker 3: Greg the Angels, Ryan Zephyr John gets to save this week?

1082
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,519
Speaker 1: Is he the closer for the Angels? Doesn't matter?

1083
00:59:35,039 --> 00:59:38,119
Speaker 4: No, no, it doesn't matter.

1084
00:59:38,719 --> 00:59:42,199
Speaker 2: I Kirby Yates, I think is the guy, and I

1085
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,920
would not roster Kirby Yates, and if I did roster him,

1086
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,119
I wouldn't start them as I have and in our

1087
00:59:49,199 --> 00:59:52,400
al only league, I've had Kirby Yates on my bench

1088
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,719
for the entire year. I haven't started him once.

1089
00:59:56,199 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 3: And I think you're gonna be okay, great. I don't

1090
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,440
think that's gonna to hurt you too. Too bad to

1091
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:07,000
be missing out on Carby Eate's four three eight ERA and.

1092
01:00:07,320 --> 01:00:10,119
Speaker 1: One save, So I think you do all right.

1093
01:00:10,599 --> 01:00:12,639
Speaker 3: How about the waiver wire, Gray, you got some names

1094
01:00:12,679 --> 01:00:15,480
with the people other than the corner infielders we've already

1095
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:16,000
talked about.

1096
01:00:16,679 --> 01:00:23,039
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, sure, So Ramon Leriano he went down with

1097
01:00:23,159 --> 01:00:27,000
a season ending injury, and Sama Taylor has been starting

1098
01:00:27,039 --> 01:00:30,519
every day and he also is hitting over four hundred

1099
01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:33,719
for the last week with a homer, and he's got

1100
01:00:33,719 --> 01:00:34,400
some speed.

1101
01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:36,039
Speaker 4: He had a couple of steals, so.

1102
01:00:36,559 --> 01:00:40,559
Speaker 2: I actually, I mean, if it wasn't for Cole Kerrig

1103
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,679
and Brandon Montgomery, Sama Taylor might have been my top

1104
01:00:44,719 --> 01:00:48,679
guy for FAB this week. But I do like Sama

1105
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:51,840
Taylor a lot, so I would go him. He's been hot,

1106
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:57,679
So Bryce Eldridge. Jack Cagleone is actually he's taking over

1107
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:03,679
for Pascatino, So I don't think cagleone is really unowned

1108
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,320
in most leagues, but if he is on waivers, yeah,

1109
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:14,119
I mean Jack Caglione should be rostered. Zach Geloff, anyone actually,

1110
01:01:14,199 --> 01:01:19,320
anyone with the eighties because of what's going on, anything

1111
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,760
anything going on in sack Town and bing Bong Stadium.

1112
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 4: Anyone.

1113
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 2: Okay, moving on, Royce Lewis returned, was hot. Uh he

1114
01:01:28,039 --> 01:01:30,360
actually I think he was available in some of my leagues.

1115
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:34,599
So yeah, Royce Lewis Andrew Vaughn had a great series

1116
01:01:34,679 --> 01:01:38,119
in Vegas. No shock there, but he has been good

1117
01:01:38,239 --> 01:01:42,719
for the better part of the season that he's been healthy. Anyway,

1118
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,880
moving on, Matt Chapman has been incredibly hot. I don't

1119
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,239
think he's unowned in most leagues, but if he is,

1120
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:51,519
you should grab him.

1121
01:01:51,599 --> 01:01:52,719
Speaker 4: Paul Goldschman's been hot.

1122
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:58,559
Speaker 2: Cody Clemens, Jake Berger, Garrett Mitchell has actually been hot,

1123
01:01:58,599 --> 01:02:01,360
which you know, kind of sucks because I want Louis

1124
01:02:01,639 --> 01:02:04,719
Laura to come up. But at some point Mitchell will

1125
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:08,360
cool off and we'll get Laura. Bryson Stott's been hot.

1126
01:02:08,559 --> 01:02:10,920
Uelve Marte my favorite.

1127
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 4: He's been hot. Spencer Horowitz, Gary Sanchez.

1128
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 2: Tyler Callahan pirates outfielder who got called up when O'Neil

1129
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:21,599
Cruz went down.

1130
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 4: He's been hot.

1131
01:02:22,519 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 2: And then finally, Jung Hu Lee has been hitting like

1132
01:02:26,039 --> 01:02:29,599
five hundred in the month of June, so he's been hot.

1133
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 4: Grab him.

1134
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:33,639
Speaker 1: There's some way of our names. Now on to the

1135
