I hope so. 22 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.719 I mean, I enjoyed my time at Rasball. It was fun. 23 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.920 I don't know. I mean, you know, there is some 24 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.719 some moments where it could have been better. I guess 25 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:03.719 the head of the company, Great Albright bit of an idiot. 26 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:09.280 I can say that now that I'm free. Oh man, we'll. 27 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.400 Have We'll have gray Bot to replace Gray's daily articles 28 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.840 that he writes starting next season. So tune in the 29 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.120 rasball for gray Bot starting twenty twenty seven. 30 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:32.439 Yeah, gray Bot with five percent less terrible puns. So 31 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:39.840 I'm mad, man, I'm mad. Bro, I'm mad, you know, 32 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.759 I hate to uh And he's lead the second week 33 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.520 in a round. I'm starting off a little bit fired up. 34 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.840 I'm a little fired up, but like you know, so, 35 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:54.199 I'm in Los Angeles, so I'm happy the Dodgers got 36 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:58.400 to Reek Scooble, right, Like, it's cool. I mean, I've 37 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.039 already I've been to a World See game. Though, I've 38 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.199 already gone to a World Series parade. I don't need 39 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.039 to go to another one. I'm fine. I've done it. 40 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:12.080 I'm fine. I honestly, I don't have to go again. 41 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.400 It's okay. I'm not I'm not selfish. Let someone else 42 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.479 have the glory. I'm good with it. So the fact 43 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.039 that the Dodgers got to Rescooble, you would think I'd 44 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.319 be like, Wow, that's great, but it's really kind of ridiculous. Man, 45 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.400 Like what's going on? What's going on with major League 46 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.400 Baseball that no one can meet the demand? Like the 47 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:41.560 Dodgers' prospects Are they really that good? I don't think so. 48 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.400 It seems to me according to even taking Rasboll out 49 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:56.400 of the equation, according to the MLB prospects, the pipeline there, 50 00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.800 MLB pipeline, their prospects thing they have, Uh, the guy 51 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.759 who went to the Angels for Soriano above the top 52 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:09.080 guy who Hope, the guy the best guy who went 53 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.960 to the Tigers for schoobl So it's like, what what 54 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:13.759 are we doing? 55 00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:14.120 Man? 56 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.920 Like? Also the fact that Tarik's Schooble. So I'm out 57 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.519 at Uh, I'm not at at dinner on Saturday night 58 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.079 because you know, Gray's got a life. Okay, So I'm 59 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.079 out a dinner and I get this notification that to 60 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:33.839 Reschooble gets sent to the Dodgers, and I'm like, it's Saturday, man, 61 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.639 It's Saturday night. I mean it's not just not just 62 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.360 because I'm out, but also I mean, yes, I mean 63 00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:43.759 that has something to do with why I was a 64 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.000 little annoyed. I was a little annoyed because I was 65 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.839 out a dinner. But even even if I was home 66 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:55.079 watching TV doing nothing, watching the pan Am bombing of 67 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.160 one oh three or whatever I'm watching on Netflix. Right, 68 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.879 even if I'm there on the couch with Ted watching TV, 69 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:05.680 I'd still be a little annoyed if this happened on 70 00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.839 Saturday night, because like, why not wait until the last 71 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.120 minute or at least Monday? Why not wait until to 72 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.959 see maybe you could get more? Like, Okay, the Dodgers 73 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.040 offered us this, right, they offered us like a thirty 74 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.399 year old prospect in River Ryan Brady Smith who no 75 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.879 one seems really now and the here Hope, who's the 76 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.120 prize of that trade? Okay, fine, all right, so Hope's 77 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.680 supposed to be good. But still, let's see you have 78 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.839 two more days. Why not at least let it play 79 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:43.720 out a little bit and see if you can get 80 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:49.040 something else instead, like they do they send a treschooble, 81 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.639 the actually the prize of MLB trade deadline? Do they 82 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.839 send them two days early and not even wait to 83 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:58.360 see if they can get anything better? 84 00:05:58.600 --> 00:05:58.680 Like? 85 00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.759 What is why? Like what is going on? 86 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:02.279 Man? 87 00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:06.480 Like? Why why are they doing it on Saturday? I 88 00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.720 just don't get it. I really don't, like I don't 89 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:12.639 want to be I don't want to be wearing a 90 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:17.600 tinfoil hat here, right, But it does really seem like 91 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:22.040 MLB wants to do a lockout next year, and the 92 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.839 rest of the owners are like, this is good for us. 93 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.360 Let's let the Dodgers win again. This is great. I 94 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.279 like it. You know, if I'm a billionaire and I 95 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.399 own the you know, the Marlins or whatever teams are 96 00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:40.920 not going for it as usual. Are the Orioles. We'll 97 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.000 get to the Orioles in a bit. But if I'm 98 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.399 a billionaire and I see the Dodgers going for a threepeat, 99 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.639 I'm like, Okay. First of all, you gotta pay Pat 100 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.759 Ryan to even say th repeat, so that's money. I 101 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.079 don't I don't wantn't want to deal with those legal replications. 102 00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.319 And then you have, on top of it all, you 103 00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.839 have the dog who are gonna go for a three peat. 104 00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.600 And then all the other teams are gonna be like, see, 105 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.680 we need a salary cap. Man. Then we told you, 106 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.680 we told you we need a salary cap. Even though 107 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.040 it's during Schooble, who could have been treated anywhere, he 108 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.120 couldn't he could have went to any team, anyone could 109 00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:23.439 have had him instead the Dodgers get them. Really, come on, man, like, 110 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.000 don't make me into a conspiracy lunatic please. 111 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.279 Yeah. Great, So we'll talk to everybody next week. Have fun. 112 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.759 That was that was our show. Good stuff? 113 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.800 No great, I mean it is what it is. It's 114 00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:43.000 the Dodgers are the team. They're they're loaded everywhere. I 115 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.920 would agree that they you know, it would have felt 116 00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.920 better if if they had waited till last second to 117 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:52.959 kind of make this trade, and you'd be like, oh, 118 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.839 nobody else wanted to add, you know, the best pitcher 119 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:00.480 in baseball to their lineup. Okay, I'm I mean, I 120 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.319 guess if that's how it goes, then so be it. 121 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.439 But you know, maybe this was the best offer that 122 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.879 came in. It makes me a little sick that if 123 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.560 you know, a couple of one one like we'll say 124 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:20.000 top twenty five and then one top one hundred ish 125 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.920 prospect gets the best pitcher in baseball. 126 00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.800 I'm wondering why there weren't more teams in it. But 127 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:26.319 you never know. 128 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.519 Maybe Detroit really likes say your hope. I mean, there's 129 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:34.039 plenty of reason to like him. The numbers are obviously outstanding, 130 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:39.480 but it does feel a little late, but trades haven't 131 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.799 been like we used to see you six top prospects 132 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.519 traded for one guy on a rental for you know, 133 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.639 two months. I don't feel like we get that anymore. 134 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:54.120 Right, No, no, you're right, But I mean, like Mason 135 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.519 Miller got traded for a top ten prospect, you know, 136 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:04.360 other other big names get traded for other like big prospects. 137 00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.720 I don't know, man, I feel like this is this 138 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.679 feels light, and maybe it has a lot to do 139 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.399 with the fact that it was Saturday and they didn't 140 00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:16.799 even like hold out to see what they could get 141 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:21.600 on like by Monday. But I just don't understand why 142 00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.759 you wouldn't, like why you wouldn't hold out, Like even 143 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.440 if you have a deal on the table from the Dodgers, 144 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.200 you then go to every other team and you're like, 145 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.360 you really want the Dodgers to get Scooba, I mean, 146 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.440 because they're gonna get them. I mean, you know what, 147 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.200 I'm just saying, they're gonna get him if you don't 148 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:45.279 like pony up a better prospect. And I feel like 149 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.399 they could have been that that deal could have been 150 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.080 met like someone else. I mean, I know the Padres 151 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.519 don't necessarily have any other prospects because the aj Preller 152 00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.799 has given away everyone, even though even though somehow they 153 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.919 still ended up getting mis and Robbie Ray today, which 154 00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.039 we'll talk about a little bit. But I mean the 155 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.840 fact that you know, there's I don't know, like the Yankees, 156 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:14.320 I mean they they couldn't pony up some guys for 157 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:20.480 schoobl or I don't know, I mean the Red Sox, anyone, 158 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.799 any team. And when I say any team, I'm going 159 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.360 through my I'm going through my roll decks in my 160 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.879 head of all the teams that are actually attempting to win, 161 00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.559 and it's like four teams. So that is an issue. 162 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:37.320 I will I will admit it's a bit of an 163 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.879 issue that you have teams like the Brewers who are, 164 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:46.919 like you know, probably the favorite outside of the Dodgers, 165 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:51.159 which is basically that's basically what the odds now are. 166 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:55.120 It's like the Dodgers are the favorite to win everything. 167 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:58.519 Who else is there? So the who else is there? 168 00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.120 The Brewers, I mean, I guess they don't want to 169 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.600 touch Jesus made, which you know, I mean, I mean fair, 170 00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:12.559 But like Scooble and Mesiroski, you put those guys together, 171 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.759 and it's like, I mean, I know that the Brewers 172 00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.279 don't want the Brewers like want to hold on to 173 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:23.480 their prospects, but like Scooble can make I mean Scooble 174 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:29.120 coming in after MESIASKI in a three game playoff to 175 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.080 get to the to get to the to get to 176 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.799 the four game playoffs. I mean it's like you have, 177 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.200 or you have or even like a seven game series 178 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.440 you have, like you know, Scooball and Meserrowski going four 179 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.360 times total, Like that's huge. I mean, like, don't you 180 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:51.360 want to win? I mean, I know Jesus Jesu's Maid 181 00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:55.480 is supposed to be incredible, but it's like I'm ponying up. 182 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.919 I'm I'm giving whatever it takes to get Scooble if 183 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.159 I know he's on the table, and I feel like 184 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.519 no one else, no other teams did that, Like no 185 00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:06.720 other teams were like, We're gonna give you whatever it 186 00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.039 takes to get schoo Ball. I mean, unless unless they're 187 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.960 I'm wrong, but I mean, it doesn't it obviously isn't. 188 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:16.320 That wasn't the case because you know they didn't the 189 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:19.080 Tigers didn't get whatever it took. I mean they got 190 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.720 they got. I mean, you know, one guy, really, I 191 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.440 don't know what rever Ryan. I honestly have a major Also. 192 00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.000 I mean, this goes back to what I've been saying 193 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.480 for years, but I have major questions about any Dodgers 194 00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.879 prospect because I really think that they're paying off their 195 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:41.519 prospect people. They're paying off prospect writers to make their 196 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:45.399 prospects seem better. I don't. I gotta Actually, I'm gonna 197 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:49.080 I'm gonna do a sting operation and have the itch. 198 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.039 I'm gonna get the itch on the phone and We're 199 00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.279 gonna do a sting operation. I'm gonna pretend like I'm 200 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:58.519 a Dodgers guy. I'm gonna call up Itch and I'm 201 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.600 gonna be like, hey, I'm I'm calling here from the Dodgers, 202 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.480 and I'm I'm wondering if you could boost up some 203 00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.399 of our prospects. I give you. I give you a 204 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:14.120 couple of hundred every every prospect writer I think knows 205 00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:18.320 the Dodgers the front office in some way. I think 206 00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:23.840 I think the front office is paying off people. It's like, 207 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.399 come on, man, this is not real. How did the 208 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:31.279 Dodgers get Scooball. It's ridiculous anyway. 209 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:37.159 Yeah, and I think they reverse like inflated andy pies. 210 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.080 They're like, no, he's terrible, you don't want him, you know, 211 00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:44.559 he's he's he's boring, like maybe he's a backup outfielder 212 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:48.240 for us at some point, like then that's what he is, 213 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.879 and then like boosted everybody else up and just hiding 214 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.840 pies behind all the other all the other guys that 215 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:55.480 they wanted to. 216 00:13:55.440 --> 00:14:05.679 Train, like man, serious, seriously, like absolute crack pots. I 217 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.879 mean it's crazy, I mean it, you know, I mean 218 00:14:10.360 --> 00:14:14.679 in fairness though, I mean the Dodgers prospects, like you know, 219 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.000 I mean they have, you know, some of them have 220 00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:20.399 turned out, like Miguel Fargus looks good this year, finally 221 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.799 after like four years of Vargas looks good and the 222 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.679 guys the NAT's goot, actually, I don't even know those 223 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.440 are Padre guys, don't. I think that's it. I think 224 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:37.879 Vargas is the only guy that's actually worth anyway, scooball 225 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:43.440 going to the Dodgers from a fantasy standpoint, He's good. 226 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.279 He's good. That's it, you know. I mean stadium is 227 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.360 a little bit worse, but it's not gonna matter. 228 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.679 Yeah, and he's been better on the road this year. 229 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:54.759 For what it's worth. 230 00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.039 That's not for the career, but for this year he 231 00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.919 has been I will say I'll just say this up 232 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.600 and I've said it before, I do worry when people 233 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:06.200 go from one league to the other. That being said, 234 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.120 Triak Schoobles the best picture in baseball. I'm not concerned 235 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:13.600 about him. So congratulations. Also, you know, if if you're 236 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.399 out of your leagues and now you're bored of baseball 237 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.720 because the Dodgers are set up with maybe the greatest 238 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:22.720 rotation we've ever. 239 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:25.600 Seen, then I hope that you're in the rass ball. 240 00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:28.720 So actually, no, wait before you say that, before you 241 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.399 plug that. The Dodgers actually just got They just got better. 242 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.320 The Dodgers actually got better while we were on this. 243 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.960 We're recording this Monday, right after the trade deadline, and 244 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:45.720 the Dodgers just actually got better. They optioned Sheian to 245 00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.960 the Miners, So not only did they get Scooble, but 246 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:55.639 they also got rid of Emichian. So you know, I mean, 247 00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:01.639 really like a double whammy of positivity there for the Dodgers. Anyway, 248 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.000 go ahead, sorry. 249 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:06.919 Yeah, you know, nothing like interrupting the plugging of site 250 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:08.279 products and site events. 251 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:09.480 Gray, I appreciate it. 252 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:14.320 Yes, so again you know imagine that transitioned wonderfully and 253 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.080 then said happy ras Ball eight day.

If not, you know, sign up next year. 255 00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.720 I feel like if you are signing up and you 256 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.200 haven't gotten in, there's something wrong, and message me if 257 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.320 it's been a bunch of years, let me know. Also, 258 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:32.360 if you really want to get in one, there will 259 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:35.360 be the podcast league. Well, I guess it may not 260 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.120 be a p my league at this point, but I'll 261 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.559 run my league, and that's a slow auction on couch 262 00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:43.919 managers league hosted by our friends over at fan Tracks 263 00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:47.480 with all their great customizations. So as always, if you 264 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.200 went into that, I think that league is about half 265 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:51.799 full from people from last season. 266 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:54.440 So if you won in that league, let me know. 267 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.759 And the winner of that league gets their choice of 268 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:04.559 ras boll ras Ball competition, whether that be baseball or football. 269 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:08.039 Gray, the Dodgers get to reak school ball. 270 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.039 I'm praying that I can somehow manage to get him 271 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.839 for my you L only team, because it's just getting 272 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.400 it's getting destroyed at this point. 273 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:22.880 I actually, uh so uh Itch is uh itches, it 274 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:26.480 is chasing me in the ale. Only and I saw 275 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:30.200 today he had to drop to Reek school ball, so 276 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:33.079 I said, I sent the message to him. It was 277 00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:36.720 I just I just screenshot uh th reak schoolball. Uh 278 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.000 Itch drops to Reek schoolball. I just screenshot that and 279 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:48.319 sent it to like a terrible person. I actually I know. 280 00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.960 Only I was. I'm trying to figure out how I 281 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:55.759 can get to Reak schoolball. I don't think I'm gonna 282 00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:59.079 be ill to though. I think I think I I'm 283 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:03.079 gonna try, Like everyone should ob me. 284 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.880 No, don't everybody, please don't try. You should just let 285 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:09.759 me have him. 286 00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:14.680 I have out of out of one hundred dollars, I 287 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:19.480 still have like ninety eight dollars, like because we have 288 00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:24.599 zero dollar bids. So it's like, why bother unless, like 289 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.319 you know, some people do bother to spend money. But 290 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:32.039 I held on to ninety eight of the hundred, so 291 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:35.519 I think. But I think someone else has one hundred. 292 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.799 So I'm like, I'm gonna I'm gonna lose. I think 293 00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.119 I'm gonna lose Scuba by like a dollar or something. 294 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.480 I just feel like it. I know it's gonna happen. Anyway, 295 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:46.240 go ahead. 296 00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:52.200 Yeah, the person who hasn't spent any money is I mean, 297 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:57.039 he's in first place Gray, he's leading, he's leading, hitting 298 00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.480 by like ten points across the board by him everybody, 299 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.759 and he's about to get scuball to add to his 300 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.400 pitching staff, which was, you know, not good, it was, 301 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:09.799 it was really bad pitching staff. But he's about to 302 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:13.160 askuable because he has one hundred dollars of of fab left, 303 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.880 which I can't you know, I'm not I'm not spending 304 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.440 all of my FAB, but I can't even imagine not 305 00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.599 spending it leads a couple of bucks here or there, 306 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:23.960 like you have a one hundred dollars left. 307 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:27.200 But yeah, he's in first place. Good for him, hopefully, 308 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:27.759 you know. 309 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.519 He lost half his roster, like I'm losing half my 310 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:32.079 roster and it'll be a little fairer. 311 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.920 I almost feel like to actually make this a more 312 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:42.119 of a strategy conversation versus us just talking about Yeah, 313 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:46.319 I think there I think there's actually something to people. 314 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:52.119 Well now it's too late, obviously, we're in August talking 315 00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.720 about this, but I think there actually might be something 316 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:59.079 to like, if you're if you don't hold your full 317 00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.440 amount like there's really no point in holding that as 318 00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.839 much as like I held ninety eight dollars, like I 319 00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:11.039 could have spent thirty or forty dollars along the way, Like, 320 00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:12.920 there's no point if you're not going to be the 321 00:20:12.960 --> 00:20:17.359 top guy or or or woman on the UH with 322 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:20.640 for FAB. If you're not gonna have the most FAB dollars, 323 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:24.920 there's no point in uh in keeping as much as 324 00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.319 I have. So I don't know, keep keep that in mind. 325 00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:32.079 I guess, Yeah, obviously, drop full budget on Tree scooble. 326 00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:34.960 If you have zero dollar pickups you and if you 327 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.240 don't in an only league, spend it, because what are 328 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:38.839 you going to pick up in an only league that's 329 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:43.680 gonna help you more than Tree Schoobluh Layne. 330 00:20:43.559 --> 00:20:44.599 Thomas, Now. 331 00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:48.559 He's on my pickups lists. Great, he's on our note slits, 332 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:50.200 But no, I don't. 333 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:53.160 I don't think so while we're with Detroit, we might 334 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.720 as well give them a little positive news here. 335 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:58.799 Max Clark was called up ninety. 336 00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:02.279 Games, eleven home runs, one stone bases hit two seventy six, 337 00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:05.640 three eighty six, four point thirty four at Triple A. 338 00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.279 He has three games in the majors. 339 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.039 He's hitting five hundred and fifteen plate appearances with a 340 00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.839 home run in that in that mix and three walks. 341 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:17.559 Max fuck looks pretty good here. 342 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:21.039 Gray, Yeah, no, he does. And also the fact that 343 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:24.240 he has a lot of speed. Uh, you know, because 344 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:29.279 speed transfers from one level to the next. Obviously they don't. 345 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:32.119 They don't take away guy's cleats when he gets promoted 346 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.559 to the major leagues. So I mean the fact that 347 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:39.119 he has speed, I think he's gonna be worthwhile in uh, 348 00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:42.000 in just about every league. I actually I've been on 349 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:45.319 him pretty aggressively in all my uh in all my leagues, 350 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:49.480 twelve team mix leagues and uh and Shallower. I think 351 00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:51.880 if you're if you're looking for a guy who could 352 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:59.759 make a difference, uh, there's probably I mean maybe by 353 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:04.720 the Cardinals, uh bias comes up, But I feel like 354 00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.119 Clark's gonna be even better than him. Yeah, So anyway, 355 00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.359 I would I would say grab Clark because if he's 356 00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.880 got you know, right now, he's I think they're batting 357 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:18.200 him like seventh, which is really stupid. So hopefully he 358 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:21.319 moves to the top of the lineup. He makes great contact, 359 00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:24.519 he has a little bit of pop, has amazing speed, 360 00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:28.039 definitely a difference maker in every league, so I would 361 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:28.599 grab him. 362 00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:31.599 Yeah, the only guys I can think of that might 363 00:22:31.680 --> 00:22:34.920 be then maybe we see along the way is Leo 364 00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.839 Debrees and Jesus Made and that would be like a 365 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:42.160 September call up at best, I think. And that's really 366 00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:44.519 about it that I can think of from you know 367 00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:50.759 who we would see this year. Like you said, Jess 368 00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:55.359 Bias are from U Saint Louis Uh. 369 00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:55.279 It's not. 370 00:22:55.359 --> 00:23:00.400 It's not Jess, it's Joshua Bias m from Saint Louis Us. 371 00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:02.519 Obviously he'd be. 372 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.160 On that list who's made Joshua Bias Yeah, yes. 373 00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:10.319 Thank you, thank you. And maybe Walker Jenkins maybe we 374 00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.720 can see him. So those are those are probably the 375 00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.720 four guys I would look at. But take you know what, 376 00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:18.000 while you have the opportunity to pay at Clark, if 377 00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:21.000 you do have that opportunity, why wait for somebody else. 378 00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:24.599 Yeah, that's pretty much what I was about to say too, 379 00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:28.039 Like if you're if you're like you know at this point, 380 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:30.559 if if these guys could really make a difference on 381 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.519 your team, the guy who's up now is going to 382 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:36.640 make the biggest difference, because, like you know, it's not 383 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:43.200 like if you get Joshua Bias or uh Jyeshu's made 384 00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:47.200 or any or Jenkins or whoever in September. I mean, 385 00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:50.240 you know, at that point it may not matter anyway. 386 00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:54.039 Like the difference a guy can make in September. It's 387 00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:59.920 like pick up, you know, Eli White, who's hot for 388 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.559 versus like, you know, random rookie call up or something. 389 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:06.960 So yeah, I would, I would grab Jack, I would 390 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:08.720 grab Max Clark everywhere. 391 00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:09.920 Yeah. 392 00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:15.839 Absolutely, let's talk about the highest rated person on the 393 00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:18.440 never mind, that's that's not where we're going. Great, I 394 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.119 had the wrong note here. I am sorry, but we're 395 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:25.519 just going to keep keep going with it. Houston, it's 396 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:30.160 a Dalton Marshaw Toronto gets Spencer arra Getty. This is 397 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.000 a veteran's trade, which is usually pretty rare in this situation. 398 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:36.400 But any thoughts on this one? 399 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:39.400 Yeah, no, I you know, I was actually I was, 400 00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:42.119 you know, I was doing the write up for the 401 00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:45.160
