1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: This is the in this League Fantasy podcast network. In

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,199
this League FANT does baseball podcast online at in this

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,359
League dot com. Now here's your host, Bogman and the Welsh.

4
00:00:16,399 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: What's up, friends, and welcome into the in this league

5
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:21,280
I think to see baseball podcast with the Bogman and

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,960
the Welsh. This is the week of July twentieth. We're

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,440
back in action. No more weird all Star breaking type

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,160
of things, where we got a full week ahead of us,

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,039
a second half ahead of us, where we're going to

10
00:00:31,079 --> 00:00:34,280
be talking about some of the leaders. Uh, the leaders

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,159
are gonna be a little bit different because you know,

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,159
we had some All Star break stuff in But last

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,039
seven days I think including.

14
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: Last seven days.

15
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: That's a good question, Bogman. Does our last seven day

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,520
one include seven days before the All Star Game or

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,399
how does that work?

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: It's just the last seven calendar days. That's why the

19
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:49,759
numbers are down.

20
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, So it's just essentially from the weekend.

21
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,880
Some struggling guys, there's some injuries that are floating out.

22
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,799
There's just a lot to talk about in baseball. So

23
00:00:57,399 --> 00:00:59,159
that is what we've got in store for you, Bagman.

24
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,000
In the Welsh style, if you guys want to support

25
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:03,039
your boys, go to in this league dot com. In

I think I got a I got a crazy schedule

28
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,040
next two days, but and this weekend happened. But I've

29
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,640
got to get the update up. So the update's going

30
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,200
to happen in the next day or two. May try

31
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:18,359
for tonight to be honest with you, where we can

32
00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:21,040
get the five hundred prospects four hundred dynasty. We've got

33
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:24,159
seventy five plus on the first year player and a

34
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:26,799
whole bunch more so that's where all the baseball stuff lives. Plus,

you're supporting what we do, so we can continue to

36
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,719
do it. And even if you want, you can continue

37
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:32,799
the conversation in our group me rooms where we have

38
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:36,120
access to either us or the community where people are

39
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:38,959
just posing questions talking stuff. Had a couple of people

40
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,640
message me this weekend about prospect based things and trade

41
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,719
different conversations. It's all welcome there because we very much

42
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:49,159
appreciate your support in this league dot com, in this

43
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:55,040
league dot com, and we had an ITL takeover today.

44
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,079
When's the last time you and me did a baseball

45
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,280
show on Pros. I want to say it's three or

46
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,079
four years.

47
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a while. I jumped on a couple

48
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,280
leading offs when I think somebody was out. I can't

49
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:09,919
remember who.

50
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: It was a while PIPA most likely.

51
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it probably was Joe. It might have been Yeah,

52
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,520
I don't know. Maybe he was sick. I can't remember.

53
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,039
And I and I filled in for him a couple

54
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,080
of times. But I haven't been on like much baseball content.

55
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,000
I did a show with Joe Rico before the season started,

56
00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:30,400
and I think that was my last pros baseball content

57
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:31,120
that I've done.

58
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,319
Speaker 2: Well, because I mean, there's a lot of weird with it,

59
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,719
and definitely not going to do the whole thing. But

60
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,360
like obviously, if if you're under a rock, you know

61
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Joe is no longer with Fantasy Pros, which you know

62
00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:44,719
sucks as from a friend perspective where you know, all

63
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:49,000
besties and stuff that sucks, but also from the work perspective,

64
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:51,800
like the one of the reasons behind it is Joe

65
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,560
is no longer un leading off, so you know they're

66
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:58,800
they're kind of working through those things. But the the

67
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:02,479
interesting part about like your perspective is like it was

68
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,120
always me and Joe for essentially the first half of

69
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:07,240
the season, and then like two or three years ago,

70
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,520
Rico would kind of pop on. But then when it

71
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,120
was time, you know where, Joe would kind of come

72
00:03:12,159 --> 00:03:14,280
off a little bit, and then I would slowly come off.

73
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,879
That's the worst time for you, because that would be

74
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,120
like college football. Bogman would do some NFL college football,

75
00:03:20,759 --> 00:03:22,520
the betting stuff. What am I forgetting here? I feel

76
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,319
like I'm forgetting something. I mean college football. You have

77
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,919
been like the practically the face of the fantasy pros

78
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,599
for the last couple of years, so it just never

79
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,520
worked out or made sense. But Bogman's slinging up some

80
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,000
of the versatility and you're pinch hitting in that which

81
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:37,840
which works well.

82
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: As I I'll be on some more too, a lot more.

83
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, You're gonna be on more I think for the

84
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,719
next like month and a half or whatever. It's just

85
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:45,439
like Bogman's doing baseball.

86
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 3: The whole Mondays Wednesdays are for sure, me uh, Fridays

87
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,280
are like half and half.

88
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: So but you know, it does like we miss Joe.

89
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:57,800
I've been talking with Joe, you know again. I'm like,

90
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,759
it's weird because we didn't have like an official talk

91
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,240
on this show, but we I also did like a

92
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,240
full thing on leading off about it, you know, and

93
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,159
as much as like is warranted to talk about but like,

94
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,639
you know, all I could say here is like, yeah,

95
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:14,680
it just sucks. It's my friend, you know, and it's

96
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,800
a it's a bummer, and it obviously like creates all

97
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,160
this like kind of chaos around and stuff like that.

98
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,480
And hopefully we're gonna be talking with Joe here soon

99
00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:27,000
because I think Joe is going to be launching up

100
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,879
some stuff heavy football and whatever. But yeah, I don't

101
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:33,759
get it twisted, you know, like I we still love Joe, yes, miss,

102
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,279
I've had two different long phone conversations with him in

103
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:41,040
the last week and stuff, and you know, there's me

104
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,360
and him have been laughing about some things because there

105
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:45,720
was you know, like like I guess I could say

106
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:48,720
this here, there was like me missing this day and

107
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:51,639
people thought there was some connection and there's not. And

108
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,040
we were laughing about where like the horrible irony of it.

109
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,439
Speaker 3: But people were trying to blame you as well, like

110
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,519
people just didn't know.

111
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: People were like, oh, you know because I missed like

112
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:04,160
the show before, uh and I never missed shows and

113
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:06,199
it was it was a total accident that had happened,

114
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,480
but it also was a total coincidence. So me and

115
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,800
him kind of like laughed about some of those things.

116
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,160
And that's a good thing to know. Is Joe still laughing,

117
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,439
He's still doing his thing. Joe is you know, gonna

118
00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:20,120
be Joe strong and everything like that. But today it

119
00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:22,959
intertwined until the first time. And god, I mean, I

120
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:25,000
guess you and I've done some football ones together, but

121
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,240
when it's been me and Bogman, it has been at

122
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:31,079
least three years, I think, because I did a little

123
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,519
bit of college football hosting, and I think you and

124
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,240
I did one solo one time, so that was kind

125
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:36,759
of a new thing.

126
00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: I remember that to.

127
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,319
Speaker 2: Remember when well, it was like you, me and I

128
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:44,399
don't remember who was the guy. It wasn't like or no,

129
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:48,399
it wasn't for It was the other guy, the Taco

130
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:52,720
bell guy. Oh his buddy yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

131
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,639
I think like he didn't make one or whatever, and

132
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,279
it was like you and me or whatever. So it's

133
00:05:56,319 --> 00:05:58,079
been a long time since you and I had done something,

134
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,519
But there is an episode out there we would laugh

135
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,879
about that guy did a show from like Taco Bell

136
00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:04,680
or something.

137
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: Many times once.

138
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,519
Speaker 2: We always laughed about that, but uh yeah, trying to

139
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,480
you know, trying to keep positive about all those things.

140
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,920
And one of the nice things was Bog and I

141
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,199
were together. So there are a few things that we

142
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,000
did talk about in leading off that kind of translate

143
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,120
over one of being which I am utterly in shock

144
00:06:21,319 --> 00:06:24,199
at what the Red Sox are doing. Thirteen straight. I

145
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,120
gave off this stat and leading off it's like the

146
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,680
first time since like the eighteen hundreds where teams playing

147
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,439
today combined for more than a twenty game streak and

148
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,240
at least seven wins because they're playing the Orioles who

149
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,439
are on a big streak. But dude, I was doing

150
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,360
like I did like two or three CBS hits last week,

151
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:44,439
and multiple of them on the TV side were about

152
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:47,800
the Boston Red Sox, and it's like, to me, it's

153
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,519
the most shocking thing ever, because dude, it was like

154
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,839
pitchforks in Boston. People wanted Breslo's head. They're screwed up.

155
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,720
Every trade, people are staring at Devers success and Kyle

156
00:06:57,759 --> 00:06:59,240
Harrison working out and.

157
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: Well, you remember screen interview with the guy earlier in

158
00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:04,839
the year, The Red Sox fan with the thick, thick

159
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:07,480
Boston accent. He's like, one of the odds this team

160
00:07:07,519 --> 00:07:10,079
makes the playoffs, and he's like, I don't know, probably

161
00:07:10,079 --> 00:07:12,319
not very good right now. And the other big dude

162
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,240
comes up with a thick Boston accent. I tell you, no,

163
00:07:15,639 --> 00:07:18,680
f and way, this team makes the damn playoffs. The

164
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:22,879
socks it done. Preslo needs to be fired immediately. I

165
00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:25,160
mean he was going off. You don't remember that.

166
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: I kind of like vaguely remember it. But we need

167
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,800
that guy. We need that guy to come back in.

168
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
But I don't know, it's it's more of a baseball

169
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,720
d the type of thing. But I'm very pro will

170
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:37,639
you're of BRAIDI right now. You and I just did

171
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:41,120
a video for Pros, a trade video where I'm trying

172
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,639
to buy up a bray you. He's his babbib's low,

173
00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:48,920
his production's been high. He's the highest war hitter there.

174
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,480
If they make trades, because now it doesn't look like

175
00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:53,680
they're gonna trade away guys. Doesn't look like Sunny Gray

176
00:07:53,759 --> 00:07:55,959
is gonna go away, doesn't look like Chapman's gonna go away.

177
00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:59,079
They're gonna buy, and I think they're gonna buy bats.

178
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:01,439
I think that's the I think they they could even

179
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:04,800
use Jeron Duran and Christian Campbell's assets, but I think

180
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:07,879
they're gonna buy and it's only gonna help build around them.

181
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:10,319
But yeah, it's just a trippy thing to me to

182
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,600
see the negativity that surrounded all of it to where

183
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,639
it's at now and then being the hottest team in

184
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,160
baseball and them capturing, by the way, they captured a

185
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,120
a playoff spot right now, they are in it, all right,

186
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,199
So here is this the video.

187
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's gonna be some cursing. So just so everybody knows, Okay, this.

188
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: Guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

189
00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: Five percent chance that's fucking wrong.

190
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: Fucking zero.

191
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 3: That's it. They're not making no fucking playoffs with this

192
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,440
fucking team. Are you fucking kidding me?

193
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,759
Speaker 2: The way they're fucking playing.

194
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:44,879
Speaker 3: Manager?

195
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 2: Still, all right, we got I feel like I know

196
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:52,279
that guy. That guy looks like a couple of people

197
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:52,960
that we've done some.

198
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: Work with, probably an army member right there.

199
00:08:54,919 --> 00:08:57,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be that guy's mad. He's superman. I

200
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,720
love that guy. Check back in do a nation national search,

201
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:02,879
nationwide search for where the hell that guy is? But

202
00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:06,240
it does change the landscape of it. One of the

203
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,159
more interesting things. We're going to talk a little bit

204
00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:10,480
about trades. But you know, the trade rumors are floating

205
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:14,840
around that Hunter Goodman. Everybody wants Hudder Goodman. Dude, just

206
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:18,399
drop three bombs on Sunday, one of three players with

207
00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:23,440
thirty homers. And the Yankees fans want him, and Boston

208
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:26,600
fans want him. They like, really really want him in there.

209
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,720
And it seems like the Rockies, even though they have

210
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,519
tons of control for him, looks like they're going to

211
00:09:32,639 --> 00:09:34,159
entertain if they get a big offer.

212
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: I just wonder.

213
00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: I wonder if the Red Sox will be aggressive enough

214
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,080
to compete for him, where the Yankees could just flick

215
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,879
a wrist and they could send over Spencer Jones, you know,

216
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,399
or Jason Dominguez or a pitching prospect. It's like the

217
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,519
Red Sox, I think, would have to part with. I

218
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,759
don't even know if the Rockies would want Christian Campbell,

219
00:09:52,799 --> 00:09:54,879
but they've got good prospects. I just don't know what

220
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:57,440
they're willing to do. Franklin Arius would be one. But

221
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,360
I saw, oh man, I saw a trade pas Let

222
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,039
me see if I can find it. It was wild.

223
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: It was one of the and it wasn't like a

224
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:05,559
Boston Red Sox.

225
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: Oh here it is. This was from the Athletic. Oh well, okay,

226
00:10:08,919 --> 00:10:10,960
I'm about to say it wasn't one of those trolley

227
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,919
fans that put together. But this is Jim Bowden that

228
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:20,679
put this together. Here's Jim Bowden's perceived trade for Hunter Goodman.

229
00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:24,440
Here's what the Rockies have to give up. And I

230
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,360
think I gotta be honest with you. The first name

231
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,159
I'm gonna tell you, I think it stops there and

232
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,679
doesn't happen. Conley Early is the first piece, the second piece,

233
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:37,679
what's the point Kyson Witherspoon, the third piece Marcella Mayer,

234
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,759
and the fourth piece Carlos Navares that he thinks all

235
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:43,799
four of those pieces are what it will cost for

236
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:47,759
Hunter Goodman. There's no way the Red Sox do that trade.

237
00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: They're not giving up Early.

238
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: I don't think they're giving up early. There's no chance

239
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:53,840
they're giving up all four of those pieces.

240
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: There's no chance, not for one.

241
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: Guy, maybe Witherspoon, Arius and Navarre, maybe Navarrees.

242
00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:05,399
Speaker 3: I could see being McCarthy back. Do you even need

243
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,360
McCarthy on this team? With the outfield they have.

244
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't think so, but if they did, I think

245
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,919
that also speaks to what I personally believe is.

246
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 3: I think.

247
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: I kind of think that Jared Duran could still get

248
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,240
traded out too. I mentioned that on the show today.

249
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,639
Just he just sucks, he stinks, and he I don't

250
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:22,600
think like.

251
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:24,519
Speaker 3: He needs to change the scenery. He needs to change

252
00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:24,919
the scenery.

253
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: I think there's just bad blood in Boston and stuff

254
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,320
like that. And maybe there's still some trade value, but

255
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:32,159
I don't think he's doing anything for the team, and

256
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,120
if anything, he might be a hindrance if if they

257
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,080
have to stop playing him. So I think he could

258
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,960
be on the move. Maybe he's someone that goes with

259
00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:41,039
the Rockies trade.

260
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 3: But dude, that trade offer is asinine to me.

261
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: And maybe I'm just off and I'm wrong, but that

262
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,240
Conley or I mean, the Diamondbacks couldn't get Conley early

263
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:56,320
coming back, and it could tell Marte trade was the conversation. Now,

264
00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:59,840
to be fair, Goodman has arbitration. I think, isn't he

265
00:11:59,919 --> 00:12:01,320
like control twenty thirty?

266
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty thirty, So he starts arbitration in twenty seven,

267
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,399
but he's under contract until twenty thirty.

268
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's really good and he's also weird. We

269
00:12:08,919 --> 00:12:11,480
talked about it where he's got like he sucks at

270
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,000
home and he's like amazing on the road. So I

271
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,360
don't know what that would do, but that's one of

272
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,320
those trade rumors that's floating out there. I think it'd

273
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,960
be super interesting for the Red Sox. I think the

274
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,000
Red Sox might.

275
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,759
Speaker 3: It's gotta be like, Hana Fink Goodman, what's this guy

276
00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:29,879
gonna do? There's a loser. I think they might blow

277
00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:30,200
it up.

278
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: I think this is the redemption story for Breslo because

279
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,960
he's like, also, they sucked all their good players got injured,

280
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,919
and then on top of it, every player they traded

281
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:41,600
ended up being a superstar. And it's like this is

282
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,519
an opportunity that they're doing it with. Just it feels

283
00:12:44,519 --> 00:12:47,279
like a bunch of like welding workers, you know. It

284
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:49,720
feels like in the nineteen twenties where they're just like, oh,

285
00:12:49,759 --> 00:12:51,799
that guy just picked up a box really well, put

286
00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:53,639
a you know, put a glove on him. Like they're

287
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,679
just doing lead.

288
00:12:55,039 --> 00:12:57,759
Speaker 3: They're calling guys in Mexico that are working at tire places.

289
00:12:57,799 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, that's what this feels like.

290
00:12:59,639 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: That.

291
00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: I think like he has the support of everybody to

292
00:13:03,159 --> 00:13:06,320
be like, oh, this is an opportunity go and they

293
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,639
don't really need I mean, if you get Crochet back,

294
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,519
you add Crochet to Sonny Gray, who's pitching like a

295
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,960
cy young guy. Jake Bennett has been the best pitcher

296
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,759
you've got early.

297
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: You know, you got.

298
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:17,759
Speaker 2: Totally and there's some injuries that are in there, but

299
00:13:17,759 --> 00:13:19,360
it's like you've got really good depth, you've got a

300
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,840
good bullpen. You just need to hit her.

301
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 3: So maybe if Kyle Friedland out of Colorado too or something.

302
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: Maybe Suarez they go to with the Reds, maybe they

303
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,039
try to get a Iohannil Suarez and a good I mean,

304
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,399
I don't know what it looks like, but I think

305
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:32,879
they're going to be aggressive, and I think Goodman is

306
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:34,720
going to be behind it. And I'm leaning actually more

307
00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:36,159
and more than Goodman's going to get traded.

308
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,519
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think any Rocky could get traded. Obviously,

309
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,039
it's going to cost a lot. They got a nice

310
00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:44,159
bitting war for Goodman. McCarthy needs to go as well,

311
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,360
like almost anybody hitting well and is on a shorter

312
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,200
contract like three years or less, like those guys need

313
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,639
to go for sure in Colorado.

314
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,639
Speaker 2: Two big injury things, well kind of three big injury

315
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:59,720
things that were floating around. The big one is Shoho Tani.

316
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,759
It's not an injury per se, it's the pitching version

317
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:06,720
of Atani is taking a big hit because he is

318
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,559
kind of being shut down. And you know, I am

319
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:12,600
repeating myself from leading off, But I was kind of

320
00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:15,559
happy about this because, like one of the CBS hits,

321
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,519
I did, they set up like they want to talk

322
00:14:17,519 --> 00:14:22,480
about Otani and the question literally was did I think

323
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:25,080
they were going too quick? And this was on like Saturday.

324
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,600
I did this, and I'm proud of myself because I

325
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:30,879
was like, yeah, our Friday, maybe this was I was like, yeah,

326
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,279
I actually think from a real word perspective, this is

327
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,919
the wrong move. This dude had an injection in his

328
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:41,200
knee during the All Star break. Let's let's be as

329
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,159
careful as possible. Let's not have him out there pitching,

330
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,759
because dude, you got an incredible outing. Roki Sazaki was

331
00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:49,799
incredible this week. And by the way, we didn't I

332
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,159
forgot to talk about this on leading off, two and

333
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:53,600
a half miles per hour up on.

334
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 3: His fastball needed to break over a.

335
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,559
Speaker 2: Mile per hour and everything else. His confidence looked back,

336
00:14:58,879 --> 00:15:01,600
needed the break, the rest his stuff look good. Blake

337
00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:06,200
Snell is rehabbing Robleski's incredible Yamamoto went complete game like.

338
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,679
These are the reasons why you should baby the crap

339
00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:12,360
out of Otani and let him come back later. But

340
00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:15,799
it does suck for fantasy if you take the pitching

341
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,639
only version, and it sucks if you're in head to

342
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:22,039
head and you move between them. Do we think him

343
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,399
losing pitching is enough to take him off the number

344
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,679
one spot in a movement.

345
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:26,879
Speaker 3: Type of thing?

346
00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:31,519
Speaker 2: And I'm curious, what do you think the pitching side

347
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:33,440
we saw him be like a cym type of guy.

348
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:36,039
Do we need to tread water a lot more lightly

349
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,320
next year? Knowing that these type of things can happen

350
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,120
in pitching. Is the first thing to go by the wayside,

351
00:15:40,159 --> 00:15:42,720
I say yay on the ladder and the top and

352
00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:45,039
the first thing I kind of the former. I don't

353
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,480
think I want to make an adjustment off of his value.

354
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 3: I'll say no on the ladder. Actually, I don't think

355
00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:52,080
we need to worry about next year's pitching because I

356
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,840
think this knee injury will be behind him, right I

357
00:15:54,919 --> 00:15:59,600
understand that it's a you know, the knee injury specifically

358
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,960
is why hindering his pitching this year, and.

359
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: He's he's anything. If anything happens, it's like the pitching

360
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:07,600
is the thing that they're going to just be like, hey,

361
00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:10,480
let's not do that more than just the the.

362
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:13,759
Speaker 3: I see what you're saying. I understand, I I but

363
00:16:13,799 --> 00:16:15,600
I still think he's gonna be fine for next year.

364
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,000
I don't really worry about that for next season. For

365
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,159
this year though, you know, they said at best it's

366
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:23,399
gonna be a couple of weeks, so probably more like

367
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:25,720
three to four weeks, which is most of the rest

368
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:28,480
of the fantasy season until we get to the playoffs. Yeah,

369
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,080
and then you know, you got a guy starting to

370
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,399
pitch coming off a month of not pitching. What are

371
00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:36,519
we doing there? Does he need to amp his arm

372
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,799
up or we just saving him for the playoffs? What's happening?

373
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,039
So the pitching side is down, So yeah, I would

374
00:16:42,039 --> 00:16:44,320
say it probably doesn't make him the number one player

375
00:16:45,039 --> 00:16:46,919
right now. He's still having a very good year, But

376
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,360
is he gonna stee a lot of bases after this

377
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,440
knee injection? He only has six on the year. Right,

378
00:16:50,559 --> 00:16:52,639
like how many stolen basis is a tiny half? Yeah,

379
00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:56,039
twenty two bombs. He's still hitting two nineties. He's gonna

380
00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:58,000
score a bunch of runs, have drive a lot in

381
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,240
so everything is good there. He's still a top five player,

382
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,720
but number one player. I don't know, you know, would

383
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:07,000
you rather since we're just batting right now, you rather

384
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:10,480
have him? Or you'red on him or Jordan Walker him?

385
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:13,920
Er miss? You know what I mean? Like I think

386
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,839
one for one now he's in the mix of everybody.

387
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: Well like the James Wood stuff too. I mean he

388
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,680
did have a big strikeout game, but like you know

389
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,920
that type of that that does it. It does make

390
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,839
a really really interesting like question built around it.

391
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 3: With over under twenty more innings, pitch the rest of

392
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,559
these this season for show? Hey, uh say it one

393
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:36,799
more time? Over under twenty more innings for show? Hey

394
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:40,640
this year? That's like that'd be like four or five

395
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,480
inning stars.

396
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would say yes because my in

397
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,400
my brain it's a lot of time left. Yeah, he

398
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,079
pitches around mid August and I think he gets like

399
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,839
twenty five ish innings. I think, okay, five or six starts.

400
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,559
Speaker 3: I was gonna say if we chicken, this would we

401
00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:56,799
go up to thirty or forty, Like, I don't definitely

402
00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:00,720
not forty, maybe thirty, but that's if it's on the

403
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,160
short side and it's only two weeks he misses. If

404
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,359
he comes back in two weeks and there's no issue, then.

405
00:18:06,279 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine. But yeah, a tough spot right now, Yeah,

406
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,759
it is, but it's something to consider long term. And

407
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:16,279
then Corman Carroll. Corman Carroll left Sunday's game, which I

408
00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:18,160
thought was a shoulder, which would have been I guess

409
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,799
more worrisome, but it looked like he hyper extended his elbow.

410
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,759
Speaker 3: That kind of always.

411
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,319
Speaker 2: Worries me a little bit because of his I guess

412
00:18:24,319 --> 00:18:25,960
he's changed his swing path a little bit this year,

413
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,720
but it's always it gets kind of violent, and that's

414
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,640
why the shoulder has an issue. Hyper extended elbow is

415
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,640
not great, but I guess it's not as bad as

416
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,680
the shoulder, and they didn't immediately put him on the

417
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,359
eel or anything like that, so that's good. But Corbo

418
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:44,759
was already having just like a fine season, nothing insane.

419
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,400
I know that Joe was Joe Rico was kind of

420
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,559
like a bye on him for the second half. A

421
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,640
hyper extended right elbow. Maybe he could be a little

422
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,000
bit more worrisome that we need to pay attention to.

423
00:18:55,079 --> 00:18:57,000
But I'm not sure your take on it. Like again,

424
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,799
they said he's day to day, so I think that's good.

425
00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:02,759
That immediate iel stint would have worried me more. Maybe

426
00:19:02,839 --> 00:19:04,599
just takes a couple of days and he's back with it.

427
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,079
But any takeaways on the Carol, I mean you and I,

428
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,279
it's a nightmare.

429
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 3: It's not good, like you said, but the h it's

430
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,079
not the shoulder, you know. I was worried about it

431
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,960
being the shoulder again from last season, but hyper extended

432
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,200
elbows no good. But they said there's a chance he

433
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,319
plays today. I don't think he will obviously. I think

434
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:26,559
he probably missed as a series uh and then comes back.

435
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,720
But if they're not putting him on the IL in

436
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,680
the next two days, I think he's gonna be fine.

437
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,519
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're probably right. I need to stay positive,

438
00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:39,559
stay positive for sure. Ronald'cunya could be back very soon.

439
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,920
Ronald Acunya had his rehab assignment up to triple A.

440
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,000
We thought he would be back, kind of thought he

441
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,559
could maybe come back right off of the break and then.

442
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 3: I don't understand why he's not back. To be completely

443
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,519
honest with you, you know how I am with that though,

444
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:58,359
with the best hit, they're just wasted back Jose Ramirez

445
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,880
is talking about zero rehab appearances like he's good. He's

446
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,599
just gonna go back into the starting lineup, which I

447
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,359
kind of think, why why not? Like you know, if

448
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,720
the guy gets sort of getting got to put him

449
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,440
back on the IL, well, he's gonna get hurt at

450
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,599
Triple A also, yeah, like what do you have to

451
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,720
lose that's that's in the world. Need to be back

452
00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:19,680
in the lineup. Yeah, I look at I'm looking at

453
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,960
the lineup. He's not in the lineup today. Game's gonna

454
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,759
be kicking off in like three hours as we're recording this.

455
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: So Tuesday, Wednesday maybe. I mean they're in Atlanta. I

456
00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:31,279
gotta imagine he's back.

457
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,319
Speaker 3: Very very surely, which is great for my second game too.

458
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because I took him, so I need him back.

459
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,119
Blake Snell also at his first rehab assignment start since

460
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:40,960
the injury.

461
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 3: It's good. I've got to get hydrated.

462
00:20:43,279 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: Man, he was hydrated as hell. I kind of wish

463
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
I would have got a comment from him about like

464
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,519
tweet you're tweeting about the the pedia light. It's one

465
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,000
of the funniest things of all time. But rest is

466
00:20:54,039 --> 00:20:55,880
sure if he is a Padre next year, I'm gonna

467
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,880
go to and there's baseball. I'm gonna go to Padre's

468
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,480
camp with a bottle of pedia Light and I'm gonna

469
00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:00,960
get him to I'm gonna ask to see if you'll

470
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,279
sign it.

471
00:21:01,559 --> 00:21:04,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, his next advertisement's going to be for an ivy

472
00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:05,119
and you're gonna have to.

473
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope you like nothing he does nothing, but

474
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,759
oh yeah, they'll just do nothing but like hydration based things. Yes, yeah,

475
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,359
that's all he advertises moving forward. But him coming back

476
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,839
is a really good sign. I think he's going to

477
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,079
need an extended amount. I think this is like probably

478
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:22,880
like three or four more so, I.

479
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:25,079
Speaker 3: Mean give him a lot that. This is where I

480
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:27,599
think the opposite, right, Like, this dude has broken down

481
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:32,480
so many times. Yeah, give him a long rehabitant before

482
00:21:32,559 --> 00:21:34,599
he comes back up, because you don't want to start

483
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,599
relying on him and goes right back down again.

484
00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: And I think that probably puts some of the lines

485
00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:43,839
of around like the mid month, mid August something around there.

486
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:46,799
Best scenario, so you probably can get like, you know,

487
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:49,119
six or seven decent starts out of him. I guess

488
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,119
Chase Burns and Kyle Bradish really weird, but I think

489
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,799
this is very much like baseball getting in front of things.

490
00:21:57,279 --> 00:22:02,880
Baseball with the pending looming hold out or whatever that

491
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,640
I think a couple of teams wanted to get guys

492
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,559
just locked in extended. And Chase Burn's got a seven year,

493
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:09,839
one hundred and five million dollar extension and Kyle Bradish

494
00:22:09,839 --> 00:22:13,359
got a five year, ninety million dollar extension. So some

495
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,079
big deals locked down that whatever cap based. God knows

496
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,759
what we're in store for. But I definitely feel like

497
00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:22,799
you see teams like holding to the vest like they're

498
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,400
trying to lock up players. They're trying to get rookies

499
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,960
up earlier than ever to get you know, some playing time.

500
00:22:28,039 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 3: They played it safe with drafts. Like it's a very weird.

501
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't know the full story, it's something I feel

502
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,559
like it's like, you know, like a movie series where

503
00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:37,440
they like give you the little nuggets and pieces, but

504
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,319
when you see it all you're like, oh, that was

505
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,680
the storyline. Like I feel like in a year or two,

506
00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:44,079
have the storyline, like, here's why it really made sense

507
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,880
that they all paid, you know, did these contract extensions

508
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,240
because look at this new you know, the look at

509
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,640
the new labor agreement and how bad it is for X,

510
00:22:51,759 --> 00:22:54,440
Y and Z. So I thought it was interesting, Like July,

511
00:22:54,599 --> 00:22:58,240
there's random pitching contract extensions put together. It was kind

512
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:58,559
of odd.

513
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:00,839
Speaker 3: Another one.

514
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: I want to talk about trade rumors and injuries in

515
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,559
a second, but our friend Ino Sarahs put this out.

516
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:07,400
I have talked about this a little bit.

517
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 3: But remember I asked you to ask him about it,

518
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,279
about the AI stuff, and I don't think you talked

519
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:15,200
to him since we talked about it. But no, it's

520
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,680
interesting that I didn't know anything about this and then

521
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,200
they're just like, no more AI. Yeah, so essentially what's happened?

522
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: He reported, This is email's report on the Athletic that

523
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:30,000
MLB is outlining, outlining the use of AI on the

524
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:33,240
iPads that they use in game iPads, which is sanctioned

525
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,880
by the league, and they're talking about you know, we

526
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,440
don't know the exact stent. We don't know if I'll

527
00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:42,400
use in like Claude or chat GBT or is it

528
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:48,079
some special base verson But was it generative, generative AI,

529
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:50,839
and I think, what's happening, what this is? This is meaning?

530
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,960
And this came down to the Mets that the Mets,

531
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,240
the report is, were essentially using AI to script what

532
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,839
pitches to throw. So that's what they're talking about with

533
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,680
genitre of AI is been terrible. AI has been awful

534
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,039
at that. It's it's like in game stuff, and all

535
00:24:07,079 --> 00:24:10,440
it is is it's like model type things. I use

536
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,880
an analogy and I was really happy about this. Somebody

537
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,880
messaged me and said they love this analogy. It's probably

538
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,759
because they understand it. But I use this on leading

539
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:22,319
off when we talked about it that essentially, in the

540
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,240
poker world, there is there's a thing called solvers and

541
00:24:26,319 --> 00:24:29,000
it has to do with g It's called GTO. It's

542
00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:33,119
game theory optimization, and what it is is it's essentially

543
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,480
a script of every single hand in poker, and they

544
00:24:36,519 --> 00:24:39,319
model out, you know, hundreds and thousands or whatever of

545
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,640
hands and they come.

546
00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 3: Up with the perfect way to approach.

547
00:24:43,559 --> 00:24:47,559
Speaker 2: Each hand in each position. So the way you handle

548
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,799
a queen jack suited on the button versus under the

549
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,640
gun has a different approach. So blah blah blah. You

550
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,400
don't play poker, Like, what the hell does that mean?

551
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,880
It's like solvers and in AI, I think they're doing

552
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,599
this anyways, because I think what they do is like

553
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,759
in poker, get every single scenario, every type of picture,

554
00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:10,480
and you model it out. What are the best pitches

555
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:14,279
to throw when you're down one run and there's a

556
00:25:14,319 --> 00:25:17,359
man on and there's one out, and you're gonna have

557
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,720
modeling of what the success is. That was my brain

558
00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:23,160
of what they were using with AI, and I was like,

559
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,240
I don't know what's the problem with that. They don't

560
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:28,240
let use solvers at a poker table. So then I

561
00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:30,160
was like, Okay, well they'll just outlaw and those guys

562
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,799
will learn it. But now what we're learning is they

563
00:25:33,839 --> 00:25:36,680
did it to an extra extent where they literally have

564
00:25:36,839 --> 00:25:39,359
live models that are just like the pitch comes in,

565
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,400
it has all the data and then it says this

566
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,799
is what we should throw, and it probably is able

567
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,119
to tell like, oh hey, our pitcher fastball is down

568
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,200
a mile per hour. It's having this type of success,

569
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,039
so let's move away from it. And Baseball just wanted

570
00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:54,079
to stop that right away. And I don't blame them.

571
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,519
I kinda kind of I'm a little bit on the

572
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,000
maybe end that people might be surprised about where I'm like,

573
00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:02,200
I don't really think it's that big of a deal. Like,

574
00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:05,240
all that's gonna start to happen is you're gonna have

575
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,759
guys that are gonna learn this type of solver thing

576
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:11,799
again the poker version for baseball, and they're gonna just

577
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,680
memorize it like poker players.

578
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 3: Do memorize it.

579
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,759
Speaker 2: Then and then they're gonna have some people that will

580
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:18,400
memorize it and then they'll just be in the dugout

581
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,240
instead of going to the table. So all it is.

582
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:22,720
The difference is you can't use your solver at the table,

583
00:26:22,799 --> 00:26:24,519
and then you're gonna have people that are gonna get

584
00:26:24,599 --> 00:26:26,920
jobs that are gonna know and learn and they're going

585
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,960
to be like assistants and stuff like that. Now those

586
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,119
people will probably not be former pitchers. It'll probably be

587
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,799
the nerds that are out there. But that's kind of

588
00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:38,359
my take on It's really interesting. Yeah, but that's it.

589
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,799
That's what it is. It's just straight up they don't

590
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,599
they want you to stop doing it. They're taking away

591
00:26:43,599 --> 00:26:47,400
whatever generative AI was on there, and they don't want

592
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,960
teams to have this extra advantage, and I thought that

593
00:26:50,079 --> 00:26:51,960
was kind of interesting, and there's probably more. I got

594
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,839
to be tw one hundred percent, Frank, I've not read

595
00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:56,319
the article yet. I need to sit down and dig

596
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,960
into it and it will probably make much more sense.

597
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,519
But that was kind of my my macro view of

598
00:27:01,559 --> 00:27:04,000
like the idea when I hear there's a on iPads

599
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,240
that teams are working, and then we found information that

600
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,559
there was literally complaints against the Mets for doing right

601
00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:13,240
like actual literal what pitch do we do next?

602
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 3: Type of stuff. I just want to I just think

603
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,799
we need to be all in or all out, like

604
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,960
I think that's what it is. We can't be some

605
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:21,599
teams are doing it. Some teams aren't just be all

606
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:23,720
in or all out, you know, just if you want

607
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,680
to make it legal, say hey, look this is a

608
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,359
tool at our disposal. We're going to use it, period

609
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,480
and of story, get used to it, use it the

610
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,359
way you want to use it, or say this is

611
00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:36,160
not what the game is intended for. We don't want

612
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,279
to do AI keep it out of the dugout like

613
00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:40,480
period and of story. I don't hear which way it goes.

614
00:27:40,519 --> 00:27:41,359
I just want one way.

615
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's that is the way I think

616
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,200
you're getting your way. It's it's just not going to

617
00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:47,519
belong in the dugout during the game. Everything else you

618
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:51,759
want to do, do you modeling go as far into

619
00:27:51,759 --> 00:27:55,200
solvers as you want before the game. That's fine, And

620
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,039
I think that's what they're saying is what's happening here.

621
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,319
So I'm not sure I find it a big deal

622
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,359
one way or the other. They're just cracking down on

623
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,720
it and creating clarity, which is probably good. There's probably

624
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,440
teams that are just like, huh, you know, there's like

625
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,960
teams that have no idea what these other guys were doing.

626
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: But the Boomer teams and teams are calling the Mets,

627
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,160
what pit should we throw here? How do you get

628
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,640
this thing to work? You know?

629
00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: Right the trademarket's sartining to heat up. There's been a

630
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,759
couple that are floating out there, like Luis Garcia, Tyler Soderstrom,

631
00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:25,640
Lawrence Butler. Apparently there's been some calls the White Sox

632
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,119
have checked in as far as interest goes on clay homes.

633
00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:32,519
There's been a couple of little minor trades that have happened.

634
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:35,319
Robert Hassel was traded to Pittsburgh Aaron Savali. Those are

635
00:28:35,319 --> 00:28:37,359
both guys that were defaied. Though I don't want to

636
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,839
go nuts with it because I don't think your rumors

637
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,680
have gotten super hot yet, and it's we're about two

638
00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:43,759
weeks ish out a week and a half. I do

639
00:28:43,839 --> 00:28:46,519
want to ask you about this one. I talked about

640
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:49,559
this last week in the Speculative. Again, this is on

641
00:28:49,599 --> 00:28:52,480
the CBS thing. I'm trying not to say because it

642
00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:54,240
might sound annoying to people, but that's just a place

643
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,000
that I have Sometimes I talk about things different, like

644
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,839
when do I get to talk about real baseball things.

645
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,240
It's always fantasy related. But I happened to do a

646
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,480
whole trade deadline thing, and I brought this up because

647
00:29:05,519 --> 00:29:08,240
this just started coming up. The Mason Miller trade stuff

648
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:11,680
is getting loud. It's getting really loud right now. And

649
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,359
it was kind of quiet, and it seemed even a

650
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,200
week ago, seemed very unlikely. But now there are reports

651
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,119
out there that seems like the Padres are being the

652
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,799
pseudo Byron sellers that they might look to consolidate while

653
00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:27,039
still trying to compete and stuff. My take on Mason

654
00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:30,359
Miller has been, if they do it, it's gonna have

655
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:33,279
to be a huge win of a trade for the Padres.

656
00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:35,279
That's the only way that Preller's gonna work because he

657
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,960
gave up a huge, huge giveaway.

658
00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: And bray Net, Henry Baiez, ed Yarnell Nuniez.

659
00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:48,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a huge giveaway for them to do that,

660
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,960
it would have to be big. The team that I

661
00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:52,920
have speculated on, I don't remember if I said this

662
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,799
last week was the Mariners, And I know the Mariners

663
00:29:56,839 --> 00:30:00,039
have Munios, but they still want bullpen help. They've I

664
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:03,680
got a glut of pitching, and my trade rumor has

665
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:09,279
been the Mariners trade Ryan Sloan and more to get

666
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:10,319
Mason Miller.

667
00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: The problem with that.

668
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: Is if I could see the Padres being weird and

669
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,960
wanting to trade major league for major league. So I'm

670
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:18,839
not one hundred percent sure how that would work. Maybe

671
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,839
it's like Bryce Miller and Ryan Sloan or something like that,

672
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,200
which seems crazy, or Luis Castillo and Sloan. But I

673
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,640
feel like that's the thing I keep putting out because

674
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,000
they know they have Kate Anderson coming up, and I

675
00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,880
just can't find the right fit. I think there's plenty

676
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,400
of teams that could do it if they wanted the

677
00:30:35,759 --> 00:30:36,119
you know, the.

678
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: Gemini saying, I am well, I just punched it into

679
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,440
Google and everything's on Gemini. But it says the Yankees

680
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:49,039
have been involved upon Chason Diminguz, Will Warren Spencer Jones

681
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,640
and the Pirates actually as the second team with O'Neal

682
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,400
Cruz potentially going back San Diego. Uh yeah, I think

683
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,279
the Pirates makes sense.

684
00:30:57,319 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: I just don't think.

685
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Well, you know, that could be one.

686
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:02,079
Speaker 2: Maybe if they want, if they really valued O'Neill cruise,

687
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:04,119
Bubba Chandler and O'Neal crue what did it say, Onneio

688
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:04,519
Cruz and.

689
00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: Who Uh well, it was just O'Neill cruise for the Pirates.

690
00:31:08,759 --> 00:31:10,799
I think him in a deal, I.

691
00:31:10,759 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: Think like a cruise and a Bubba Chandler would make sense.

692
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,039
And then they trade Miller in something. Okay, that's one

693
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:19,640
I could kind of go by what I'm getting at.

694
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,839
You do you think Mason Miller is going to be traded?

695
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,079
Speaker 3: I don't. I actually don't. I had to trade him, right, yeah, yeah.

696
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,039
I like, even in a down year, you have your

697
00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:31,759
closer for the future, and if you want to stretch

698
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:33,640
him out, you might have a really good starter. So

699
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:36,559
I just this is not something i'd do. If I

700
00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:39,319
was a pot race, It'd have to be a godfather deal,

701
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,759
and I just don't know forgetting that.

702
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if Mason Miller did go to the Mariners,

703
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,599
I would say, holy crap, pitching ballpark, great pictures to

704
00:31:46,599 --> 00:31:49,519
get him there, like a division. I kind of love that.

705
00:31:49,839 --> 00:31:51,920
Pittsburgh I'm kind of indifferent about. Mason Miller is a

706
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:54,200
unicorn though, so it doesn't matter, But just throwing it

707
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,839
out there that I don't it could screw with your

708
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,160
nl AL only teams if you're playing with that. But

709
00:31:59,839 --> 00:32:01,960
I think there's a chance Miller could get traded, and

710
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,039
it's tough because he's has control through like twenty nine

711
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,519
or thirty. And I think that's why you need just

712
00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:12,279
a tremendously ginormous cell. That's why O'Neill cruise to me,

713
00:32:12,359 --> 00:32:15,119
doesn't get it done. Maybe if they do Bubba Chandler

714
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:17,319
or you know, a low end prospect, But that's why

715
00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:19,880
the Mariners, because you know, they chase, they they have

716
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,920
the same facility, and I think it just I think

717
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,079
there's a match made in there, especially a guy like

718
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,400
Ryan Sloan who could be ready like soon, and the

719
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,160
Patters don't have any young pitching to develop. They got

720
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,240
to keep buying it and that might be something they

721
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,160
want to fix here in the near future. So that's

722
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,960
just my thing thrown out there. There's probably stupid people

723
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,559
are yelling nowhere to Tree Royan Sloane like, okay, that's fine,

724
00:32:39,599 --> 00:32:41,720
but similar trade rumors are out there. I think that's

725
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,759
the biggest thing. Ye they're like, ooh, next Monday or

726
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,920
the following show will probably be the big trade conversation.

727
00:32:49,079 --> 00:32:52,079
Hopefully we'll have more on the injury front before we

728
00:32:52,079 --> 00:32:55,640
get to the last seven days. Otto Lopez lefts Saturday

729
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,519
after taking a ground ball off his finger. He did

730
00:32:57,599 --> 00:32:59,960
not play Sunday, so that's not good for your batting average.

731
00:33:00,039 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 3: Also, the Marlins lineup has not been announced yet so

732
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:05,799
for today, so don't know if he's playing Monday. Either.

733
00:33:06,319 --> 00:33:09,559
Speaker 2: That's not great. I mean, not going to il is good,

734
00:33:09,599 --> 00:33:11,480
but that's not super great yet.

735
00:33:11,559 --> 00:33:13,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it does, what today might go?

736
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:17,359
Speaker 2: H What I thought was going to I swear to god,

737
00:33:17,359 --> 00:33:19,799
I thought this was going to be a retirement speech.

738
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,240
I thought Brandon Woodruff was about to because of Pat Murphy.

739
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:26,319
How he approached it. It's better than that because he's

740
00:33:26,359 --> 00:33:30,160
not retiring. But it's bad because Brandon Woodriff is having

741
00:33:30,319 --> 00:33:34,440
a capsule surgery on his shoulder, and that is going

742
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,039
to be a year and a half. Like I think

743
00:33:36,079 --> 00:33:38,279
you found a study that said it's like you know.

744
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,799
Speaker 3: It's it's close four hundred and seventy days after surgery.

745
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,759
That's the average that guy's come back after the capsule surgery.

746
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,759
Speaker 2: And I think it's pretty easy to associate half of

747
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:51,319
a season here a full season there. You're not getting

748
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:53,599
him back to twenty twenty eight. So he's just not

749
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,880
a dynasty option anymore. We got to be done with

750
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,960
Brandon Woodruff as a whole. He's going to be I mean,

751
00:33:59,079 --> 00:34:01,079
isn't he like thirty one thirty two right now he's

752
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,559
thirty three. He's gonna be like thirty five thirty six.

753
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,680
By the time he comes back, it's gonna be two

754
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,480
years left in there. So that's that's a straight up drop,

755
00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:11,239
and that's really unfortunate and why I have felt the

756
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,039
Brewers need to be so aggressive in trading for pitching.

757
00:34:15,199 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 3: He turns thirty four in February.

758
00:34:17,079 --> 00:34:20,079
Speaker 2: Apparently school's not available anymore. In trades, but they should

759
00:34:20,119 --> 00:34:23,079
be calling for Joe Ryan. I do think I heard

760
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:25,840
a little bit more of the or I heard somebody

761
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:29,159
agreeing that Freddy Peralta is someone that they might look at.

762
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:31,079
I think Freddy is someone that they might potentially look

763
00:34:31,119 --> 00:34:34,079
to trade for. So that's that Aaron Judge, this is

764
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:36,440
not good news for my second half teams.

765
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: Is not ready to.

766
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 2: Resume baseball activities and they feel like it's close, but

767
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,679
he's not ready. So that stinks for me taking him

768
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:49,199
in the seventh because I was hoping, yeah, yeah, yeah,

769
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,320
I got los Acunya, but my hope was he would

770
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:54,599
start and then I get him by mid August, and

771
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:56,800
now I'm probably not going to get him till late

772
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,480
August early September. And that goes for you as well

773
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,440
if you own him out there. So that's that's pretty

774
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:02,079
crappy news.

775
00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 3: That depends on their record too. If they're killing it,

776
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,960
you know they're gonna baby him for the playoffs.

777
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the, like the And that's why it's super interesting.

778
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,920
Yankees are in a weird spot. They actually are kind

779
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,280
of annoying. They're like one of those dynasty teams that

780
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,159
have those it's like I think Jesse Severe would have

781
00:35:21,159 --> 00:35:23,920
these teams where it's like they have really good teams

782
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,440
and they have insane minor league systems, and then they're

783
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:31,440
just absolute bastards and won't ever trade anything. Literally, just see,

784
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,360
they won't ever trade you anything good. They'll trade you

785
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,320
bad things. That's the Yankees. The Yankees of all these

786
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,519
minor league prospects, and it's like, go make your moves.

787
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 3: You got you got games over, they're making the playoffs.

788
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: But but dude, you've got Volpi who stinks, you got

789
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,519
some underperformers and judges out and you're still awesome. Well,

790
00:35:49,559 --> 00:35:51,840
guess what, go and take some of that capital that

791
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,559
you have in the minor leagues and go and bolster

792
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:56,000
up your team, because you can do it, dude, you

793
00:35:56,199 --> 00:35:58,440
can do it. And I'm I'm shocked that they haven't.

794
00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:00,599
And I wonder if this is the year that they

795
00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:02,360
do it. I wonder if they do it this year

796
00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:06,239
with guys like Jason Domingos and eventually.

797
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:12,159
Speaker 3: Garrett holes back right like awesome, So put those ships in.

798
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,159
I'm with you, Max and Max Freed.

799
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,079
Speaker 2: Max Freed he's beginning to rehab assignment this Friday, so

800
00:36:17,199 --> 00:36:18,920
he's going to be coming back here in the next

801
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,599
couple of weeks, and it's like, just make some of

802
00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:24,679
those moves, man, move those pieces. Stop winning so much, Jesse,

803
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,119
I mean, Yankees, stop doing it. Also, Edwin Diaz looks

804
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:30,000
like he's about to come back, so you can kiss

805
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,719
your Tanner Scott's goodbye because Edwin Diaz did a triple

806
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,920
a assignment and he's going to be out there closing

807
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,400
games and he's not great. I mean, it just was

808
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,239
nice because it was free saves for like the best

809
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,159
team in baseball. But now it's gone because Edwin Diaz

810
00:36:44,199 --> 00:36:44,719
is going to close.

811
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:45,199
Speaker 1: Uh.

812
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: Jeremy Penny left with a hamstring day.

813
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 3: He is playing today, but Christian Walker is still out

814
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:51,559
of the lineup.

815
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,679
Speaker 2: And he left with the hip sore noess and uh,

816
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,760
he didn't play on Sunday, so that's something to watch

817
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,599
save me. Besides, was removed Sunday with shoulder discomfort. A

818
00:36:58,599 --> 00:37:01,679
lot of injury stuff with him. Lordus Gurriel back on

819
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,199
the io with an aductor's string.

820
00:37:03,519 --> 00:37:05,599
Speaker 3: It's a minimum, though they said he'll be back as soon.

821
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 2: As he's before his ass is traded. That's why it's

822
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,559
a minimum. They got to get him out of here

823
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,199
and Mike's Soroka. He threw a bullpen on Tuesday, Gonna

824
00:37:14,199 --> 00:37:16,519
need one more start before returning and he'll be back.

825
00:37:16,559 --> 00:37:20,159
And Justin Martinez is facing live hitters this week, so

826
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,440
that's actually a good one because he could be back

827
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,239
in like a couple of weeks. And that's some late

828
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,000
saves if you want to speculate. Also, Zach Gallon was

829
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,320
getting a second opinion from a Tommy John doctor, So

830
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,199
you know, if you didn't need more reco not at all.

831
00:37:33,199 --> 00:37:35,280
All right, let's take a break, we come back. We'll

832
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,159
take a look at it's really not seven days. If

833
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:40,280
we did seven calendar days, that is actually the weekend.

834
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,440
This is Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So we'll take a look

835
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,920
at your weekend big performers and closing stuff and see

836
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,239
what's out there, because they're still I gotta be honest

837
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,440
with you, there are some numbers you look and you're like, wow,

838
00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:53,679
that is seven days. Nope, that's just the weekend. Drake Baldwin,

839
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:55,920
will your BRADYO. Those are just the weekend numbers that

840
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,800
they did. Crazy, So we'll take a look at hot

841
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,159
guys off at the start. A couple of struggles as

842
00:38:00,199 --> 00:38:02,199
well as pitching, and then we will get you set

843
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:03,360
for the week. So we'll do it right for this

844
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,440
right here, and in this league.

845
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: It's in this league, got what plants craze, It's got electrolytes.

846
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 2: What are electrolytes?

847
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,159
Speaker 3: Do you even know? It's what they used.

848
00:38:15,039 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 2: To make in this league.

849
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,639
Speaker 3: I'm the smartest guy in the world who like Q test.

850
00:38:19,679 --> 00:38:23,119
Speaker 2: You took him prison going to Carls Junior. All right,

851
00:38:23,159 --> 00:38:26,199
this weekend it was a Drake Baldwin show. Drake Baldwin

852
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,920
was crushing everything. I don't I'm not really five yesterday. Yeah,

853
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,920
I'm not gonna do batting averages because three days it's

854
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:32,559
just silly.

855
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: I've never had a guy hit seven hundred over a

856
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,800
week and it's only because it's the weekend.

857
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. But in the Homer department, Drake was not

858
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,760
the leader in Homers. It was my boy, William Bray.

859
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,519
You who he talked about. William Brady, you had four,

860
00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:48,079
Drake Baldwin had three, as well as ty France, Hunter

861
00:38:48,119 --> 00:38:49,480
Goodman and Austin Riley.

862
00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 3: A couple stops here real quick.

863
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 2: I want to talk because I just mentioned it before.

864
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,920
But you know, go listen to the short on William

865
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,960
Bray you just because it gives clicks and just for

866
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,119
me to not repeat myself. But I mean I kind

867
00:39:03,119 --> 00:39:05,840
of told you guys, like since June first, he has

868
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,760
had an improvement as far as his barrel rate goes.

869
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,840
He's hitting the ball harder, his babbok is low, so

870
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,079
it feels like he's underperforming. That profile starting to click again, Like,

871
00:39:15,679 --> 00:39:17,679
I just think he's in store for like a nice

872
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,800
red hot second half, so he's a buyer. Let's stop

873
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,039
over at Drake Baldwin. Though Baldwin had a really poor

874
00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:27,800
return from injury, but man, he's.

875
00:39:27,639 --> 00:39:28,519
Speaker 3: One of those dudes.

876
00:39:28,599 --> 00:39:31,559
Speaker 2: As soon as you get hot again, he just clicks

877
00:39:31,599 --> 00:39:34,840
back into value because his baseball savant profile is just

878
00:39:35,559 --> 00:39:40,639
sick o mode. He hit zero point sixty three in June,

879
00:39:41,559 --> 00:39:44,119
but he's hitting three sixty eight in July right now,

880
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:47,639
with three homers over the last three games, and he

881
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,920
has three straight multi hit games. Like he's right back in.

882
00:39:51,159 --> 00:39:53,559
Where do you think he belongs as far as catchers go,

883
00:39:54,320 --> 00:40:00,400
You've got Goodman, Ben Rice, Counts, William Contrere. I kind

884
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:01,159
of think he's three.

885
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say he's behind Rice and Goodman right now.

886
00:40:04,679 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: Okay, what about Shay Langliers.

887
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean probably in the tier with Langoliers. But

888
00:40:11,079 --> 00:40:13,480
I'd still put the way Baldwin's hitting right now, I

889
00:40:13,559 --> 00:40:14,480
put Baldwin add.

890
00:40:14,519 --> 00:40:16,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kind of agree with that. That's kind of

891
00:40:16,199 --> 00:40:19,039
where I was going with that. Uh type France Goodman

892
00:40:19,079 --> 00:40:21,119
and I want to do I have not done it.

893
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,199
Let's take a look at Austin Riley. Nobody I'll claim it,

894
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,039
especially if I end up being wrong, but nobody was

895
00:40:27,079 --> 00:40:30,280
more out on Austin rather than me. Absolutely done with it.

896
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:32,880
He hit three homers over this weekend, which is nice.

897
00:40:34,039 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 3: It talk about who needed the break real bad?

898
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:41,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe he did, because he is hitting It

899
00:40:41,559 --> 00:40:44,039
started up before the break though July he did hit

900
00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:49,639
two seventy three four homers strikeouts Finally look like they

901
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,400
might be coming together a little bit. He's actually stole

902
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,519
a few bases and then off of the break, which

903
00:40:55,559 --> 00:40:56,639
I guess still counts July.

904
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

905
00:40:57,519 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: He has six hits in his last twelve at bat

906
00:41:00,119 --> 00:41:02,639
so yeah, to your point, like the break has really

907
00:41:02,679 --> 00:41:05,599
done him well. He was starting to heat up in July.

908
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,360
He is hitting at home right now, but the like

909
00:41:09,559 --> 00:41:13,199
over arching stuff it's still just down across the board.

910
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,320
But are things changing, Are things changing in a direction

911
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,159
where you are gonna maybe consider getting back into Austin

912
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,920
Riley or is it still just not dog?

913
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I don't. Here's my problem is he's

914
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,000
still hitting real low. He he has started hitting, but

915
00:41:31,119 --> 00:41:35,440
he's hitting seven and six. The highest he's hit he

916
00:41:35,559 --> 00:41:39,360
hit fifth on July fourth. But because he's been bad,

917
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,559
he's hitting in the lower third of the lineup, which

918
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:43,920
makes me less inclined to go out and get him.

919
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,519
If he hits like this, though, he's probably gonna move up.

920
00:41:46,599 --> 00:41:48,840
I guess Atlanta's just hitting as a hole though, So

921
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:55,760
but I don't know. I guess I'm gonna say I'm out.

922
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,880
I'm gonna say I'm out because I don't know how

923
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,400
he moves up in this slant up. He has to

924
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,719
hit for longer than two weeks, and I just think

925
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,320
he's going to stay in the bottom third of the lineup,

926
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,000
probably for the rest of the year. So I'll say

927
00:42:07,039 --> 00:42:08,159
I'm out on Austin Riley.

928
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was trying to see if there was any pops.

929
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,760
I just happen to have the like U.

930
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,519
Speaker 3: Two homers is nice and you know he's hit had

931
00:42:16,599 --> 00:42:19,639
hits in five of his last six games, which is

932
00:42:19,679 --> 00:42:24,440
also great. But we've seen we've seen him completely tank

933
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:25,119
this year.

934
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,039
Speaker 2: So here is from June first on. I can give

935
00:42:28,039 --> 00:42:29,920
you a couple. I mean, it still looks kind of

936
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:34,679
the same. So his season totals ten percent barrel, ninety

937
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:39,719
exit velocity, nineteen degree launch angle, forty two percent hard

938
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,360
hit rate. Those are his season totals since June first.

939
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,199
Let's see what's changed. Where'd he go? Eighty nine average

940
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,719
x velocity so may twenty degree launch angles. He's getting

941
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:52,679
the ball in the air more.

942
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 3: He is he was before.

943
00:42:55,519 --> 00:42:57,519
Speaker 2: It's just a little bit most like a degree. He's

944
00:42:57,519 --> 00:42:59,800
barreling the ball about two percent more twelve percent, but

945
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,079
it's hard hit rate is down. And check this out,

946
00:43:03,519 --> 00:43:07,239
two thirty average since June first, an XBA of two hundred.

947
00:43:07,639 --> 00:43:10,079
So it's like, even when things are shining a little bit,

948
00:43:10,159 --> 00:43:12,360
like I just I have a hard time buying it's

949
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,800
it's it's hard because you want to buy it because like, oh,

950
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,039
he's you know, he was a talented player and stuff,

951
00:43:17,079 --> 00:43:19,320
but everything looks like a mess to me. And I

952
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,679
think he's gonna put together a weird season that's gonna

953
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,480
be like twenty two homers and like two thirty average,

954
00:43:26,519 --> 00:43:30,039
and it's just it's there won't be a time where

955
00:43:30,039 --> 00:43:31,679
it was smart to roster him, you know what I'm

956
00:43:31,679 --> 00:43:33,800
saying by that, Like it won't be like, Okay, well, hey,

957
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,159
look he's stunk and he was good, let's go pick

958
00:43:36,199 --> 00:43:38,159
him up right now. And then he's gonna go and

959
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:39,920
stink for another week and then you're gonna drop him

960
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,159
and he'll be goet like you're always gonna make the

961
00:43:41,199 --> 00:43:42,119
wrong move with him.

962
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna say walking grade either. He's still under

963
00:43:46,519 --> 00:43:47,880
three hundred ninety six.

964
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,519
Speaker 2: I'm still out. Yeah, I'm still out. In the RBI department,

965
00:43:52,559 --> 00:43:55,599
Drake Balden, we talked about had the most with Chaparro

966
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,039
as well, will your bray you ty France And I

967
00:43:58,039 --> 00:44:00,599
want to make a stop at Fernando Tati because just

968
00:44:00,639 --> 00:44:05,679
in case you do not frequent leading off, I put

969
00:44:05,679 --> 00:44:09,639
together a deep dive on Fernando Tatis Junior, and the

970
00:44:09,679 --> 00:44:13,199
season totals are really interesting now to eighty four seven homers,

971
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,639
twenty five stolen bases, forty nine runs. But the interesting

972
00:44:17,679 --> 00:44:21,639
stuff comes from the one goofy tweet I saw that

973
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,039
I had mentioned was that he didn't have a homer

974
00:44:25,079 --> 00:44:27,719
as of like May first, and then he just crossed

975
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:33,239
and passed Vladimir Gerrero Junior, which is like, it's actually

976
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,840
kind of crazy just to think about. But here are

977
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,360
his the stats I pulled from June first on because

978
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,559
that's kind of the that's what it sparked. By the way,

979
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:45,320
this whole big marker in me of like looking at

980
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,320
June first and stuff, where's my deep dive? Let me

981
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,159
go back to it. Since June first, he's hitting you know,

982
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:55,400
three hundred, he's got six homers, eleven stolen bases, an

983
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,199
eighteen percent k percentage, one thirty four WRBC plus. That

984
00:44:59,199 --> 00:45:02,400
looks great. Numbers are good, Like if you encapsulate that

985
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,280
and you're like, hey, this is five weeks, you're like, oh,

986
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:07,760
that's vintage Tatist. But here's what's exciting. His season total

987
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,280
still shows a four degree launch angle. Since June first,

988
00:45:11,639 --> 00:45:14,119
that has gone up to a seven point eight percent,

989
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,239
so he's almost doubled his launch agle, essentially doubled it

990
00:45:17,599 --> 00:45:20,519
in that period of time. He's had a season total

991
00:45:20,559 --> 00:45:24,000
eleven percent barrel rate. But since that period of time,

992
00:45:24,119 --> 00:45:28,039
since June first, that is up over thirteen percent. He

993
00:45:28,159 --> 00:45:31,280
also has a fifty six percent hard hit rate, which

994
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,280
is one of the highest and as I mentioned, his

995
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,719
average EV ninety four point six. It is the highest

996
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,440
in baseball since June first, tied with Kyle Schwarber. Bernando

997
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,519
Tattis Junior has really turned that game around. Was kind

998
00:45:43,559 --> 00:45:46,760
of a goodbye. And he has a decent chance. I mean,

999
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,599
if he goes on a tear, dude could hit twenty

1000
00:45:48,639 --> 00:45:50,519
still get to twenty homers. He probably is going to

1001
00:45:50,559 --> 00:45:53,360
between fifteen and seventeen, but he might steal forty bases,

1002
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,920
be close to like one hundred hundred. Guy like Tatis

1003
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,639
is gonna he's gonna walk himself back into being like

1004
00:45:58,679 --> 00:46:01,239
a first round player. And I think the trends are

1005
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,159
really working well in his favor right.

1006
00:46:03,079 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 3: Now, agreed. I mean, you know, all the tack cast

1007
00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:09,719
is perfectly fine. We know it was the launch angle

1008
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,800
that was keeping him from hitting bombs. Uh, And I

1009
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,559
think he's gonna be okay. So this is absolutely a buyback.

1010
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,719
And what is he hitting right now, like on the

1011
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,119
band or Yeah, this season total is two eighty two four. Yeah,

1012
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,199
XBA is two eighty eight, So yep, that.

1013
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 2: Right there XBA two eighty eight still supportive.

1014
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 3: Yep, exactly. So I think I think he's gonna be fine.

1015
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,559
This is a dude that I am absolutely not worried about.

1016
00:46:35,639 --> 00:46:37,719
Definitely worried about Austin Riley, not worried about for non

1017
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:38,800
the tuttis. Yeah.

1018
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I think a lot of people were

1019
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,480
worried about, and I had moments where I was kind

1020
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:41,719
of worried.

1021
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 3: I was fair, he wasn't hitting any homers. Like, you

1022
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,880
can do the rest, but if you have no homers,

1023
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,360
what are you doing? Yeah, but the profile is always

1024
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,719
look that hit twenty five last year. Yeah, but he

1025
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,000
was like hitting the ball super hard all season long.

1026
00:46:54,039 --> 00:46:55,800
He was barreling and stuff. And then it was like

1027
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,800
this swing is just jacked up. So it seemed easy

1028
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,400
on the surface level, but was it ever gonna happen?

1029
00:47:01,519 --> 00:47:02,920
And then and then now it is and it.

1030
00:47:03,199 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 2: Guess what, it was as easy as possible.

1031
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 3: Uh.

1032
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 2: In the run department, William Bray, you had five. He

1033
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,760
led the way with Drake Baldwin, Curtis Mead and Austin Riley.

1034
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,920
They were a bunch with four. So again, these are

1035
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:15,840
all guys that we've kind of talked about here, and

1036
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,920
seem Nunia is with three more stolen bases. I haven't looked.

1037
00:47:20,119 --> 00:47:21,159
Let me take a look at what this.

1038
00:47:22,679 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 3: Six. Yeah, it makes All this guy does is steal bases.

1039
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes me sick. Let me just do that,

1040
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:33,000
let me reorganize it. He is up to thirty seven

1041
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,760
in a row, thank you, thirty seven stolen bases. Bobby

1042
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,159
Witt has thirty. It's crazy. And those are the only

1043
00:47:41,199 --> 00:47:44,920
guys with thirty I mean one, yeah, one Homer, I mean,

1044
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,800
Chayler Simpson's got twenty three. He's just he's just done.

1045
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,920
He's out there. By the way, no person with twenty

1046
00:47:53,039 --> 00:47:56,199
or more stolen bases has an average. Uh that even

1047
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:57,760
is at two eighty five right now?

1048
00:47:58,559 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 3: Wow?

1049
00:47:59,000 --> 00:47:59,599
Speaker 2: Is that crazy?

1050
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 3: Bob? I mean, how many guys hitting three hundred right now?

1051
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:09,719
Isn't it like four? Yeah, there's eight. I guess that's

1052
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:10,159
a good point.

1053
00:48:10,199 --> 00:48:14,199
Speaker 2: There's eight. And the highest batting average with stolen bases

1054
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:18,519
is Atto Lopez three thirty five with eighteen stolen bases.

1055
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,639
Speaker 3: Who was seen warming I just looked it up. He

1056
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,519
was seen warming up with a trainer throwing the ball.

1057
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,320
So maybe he'll play tonight.

1058
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,639
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good that's a good turn here and

1059
00:48:28,679 --> 00:48:31,480
then in the walk department, JP Crawford Wade had a

1060
00:48:31,519 --> 00:48:33,679
couple in here, I do since we didn't have him

1061
00:48:33,679 --> 00:48:37,039
on here, and I'm I just can't avoid it for

1062
00:48:37,079 --> 00:48:40,239
this show, So apologies for this exact one. There's just

1063
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,639
kind of a crossover of what we do with leading

1064
00:48:42,639 --> 00:48:46,119
off there. But as Merlin Valdez is on another FN

1065
00:48:46,199 --> 00:48:49,199
planet right now. He doesn't show up from just the

1066
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:54,320
three days. But nobody has been more prolifics over the

1067
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,639
last thirty games because over.

1068
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 3: A sixty you know what I didn't say before, tells

1069
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,440
me there's thirty six percent dead leagues. What do you think?

1070
00:49:03,559 --> 00:49:05,039
Speaker 2: Let me see what do you think he is in

1071
00:49:05,079 --> 00:49:07,559
the consensus between Yahoo and ESPN?

1072
00:49:08,199 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 3: What's his ranking? You know?

1073
00:49:10,039 --> 00:49:11,039
Speaker 2: No, how much does he owned?

1074
00:49:11,079 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 3: Oh his roster U seventy five percent is an ESPN

1075
00:49:15,079 --> 00:49:15,880
usually a little.

1076
00:49:15,679 --> 00:49:20,639
Speaker 2: More fifty two percent, so less. Yeah, but like no

1077
00:49:20,679 --> 00:49:22,920
one has hit more homers in thirty one game span

1078
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,400
to start their career than as Merlin Valdez. He's got

1079
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,679
twelve homers. He's pacing to be a thirty guy. He's

1080
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:28,920
hitting over three hundred.

1081
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,159
Speaker 3: He's saying thirty six percent dead Leagues and Yahoo and

1082
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:33,280
forty eight percent.

1083
00:49:33,599 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 2: And then he hit four hundred in June. He's hitting

1084
00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:40,480
two ninety eight in July. The homers don't stop coming.

1085
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:44,599
He's got a twenty seven percent barrel rate, twenty degree

1086
00:49:44,639 --> 00:49:48,480
launch angle, hard hit like, you know, I just I

1087
00:49:48,519 --> 00:49:51,559
couldn't feel more vindicated for propping him up during the

1088
00:49:51,559 --> 00:49:55,679
AFL and also against everybody and the people that still

1089
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,679
do it with me the whole like, oh, it's an

1090
00:49:57,679 --> 00:50:02,079
AFL thing, Jacob Marcy, blah blah blah.

1091
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 3: All of that to be said, he has two.

1092
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,199
Speaker 2: Clear things that are staring us in the face. One

1093
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:10,800
is one is symptomatic, and one is the problem XBA

1094
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,679
of two twenty. Like that's like a problem that'll probably

1095
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:15,760
even out in stuff the two twenty XBA to a

1096
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,159
three or five average. It's very worrisome and that we'll

1097
00:50:18,159 --> 00:50:20,239
have some media nowt But a thirty seven percent k

1098
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,039
percent is just a problem. You cannot strike out at

1099
00:50:23,039 --> 00:50:27,440
that level and continuously be successful. But I likened him

1100
00:50:27,679 --> 00:50:28,039
when I.

1101
00:50:28,039 --> 00:50:30,559
Speaker 3: Did see some more points leagues with all those strikeouts

1102
00:50:30,599 --> 00:50:33,280
for ESPN, just to give them credit, you know, I mean,

1103
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,440
not forty eight percent dead leagues. Maybe it's more of

1104
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:36,559
a points league.

1105
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 2: Me and Stanfel talked about this, and I likened as

1106
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,400
Merlin Valve is maybe to more like a Murakami in

1107
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,960
that look. He doesn't chase. He is one of the

1108
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,400
best chase rates in baseball. His barrel is amazing, his

1109
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,000
heart hits amazing average ex velocity, he's expected slug, he's

1110
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:56,760
got great bat speed. He walks, guess what he strikes

1111
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,199
out and withs a lot, but he doesn't chase. And

1112
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,679
that's like the scene story that goes on with Murakami

1113
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,519
that I just wonder maybe that's how you approach him.

1114
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,800
If if he's a two forty hitter but hits thirty

1115
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,480
five forty homers, Like that's the type of profile he's

1116
00:51:10,559 --> 00:51:13,639
misleading right now. To me, he's not a three hundre.

1117
00:51:13,599 --> 00:51:15,239
I don't think he's gonna be a three hundred hitter.

1118
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,079
I said this on Prospect one during the AFL time

1119
00:51:18,119 --> 00:51:19,920
that one of the things I was so impressed with

1120
00:51:20,159 --> 00:51:24,119
was his ability to understand the strike zone. He challenged

1121
00:51:24,159 --> 00:51:25,920
this one ball that was like a quarter of an

1122
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,920
inch away and got it right, like he really understands

1123
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:32,920
the zone, but he can get swing happy, he can

1124
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,400
miss the pitch type and stuff like that, but that's okay.

1125
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,559
He's twenty two years old. It's gonna get better as

1126
00:51:37,559 --> 00:51:38,079
time goes on.

1127
00:51:38,119 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 3: So like I've made them not miss O'Neil cruise as much.

1128
00:51:40,639 --> 00:51:44,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think he's so interesting from so many points.

1129
00:51:44,679 --> 00:51:47,320
The problem is is like in dynasties and stuff, he's

1130
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:51,360
like everyone's talking about him and there's weird values. I

1131
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,320
would just keep it in a pin in it. If

1132
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,079
he comes back down to earth a little bit, I'd

1133
00:51:55,119 --> 00:51:56,960
be interested in trying to buy low on him when

1134
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,000
that happens. If that happens in a redraft, I wouldn't.

1135
00:52:00,039 --> 00:52:03,039
I hate anybody that tries to maybe trade off because

1136
00:52:03,079 --> 00:52:05,159
I just don't think he's gonna hit three hundred. But

1137
00:52:05,199 --> 00:52:08,400
we also just need to like come to terms with

1138
00:52:08,559 --> 00:52:12,639
like he's incredible, incredible bat speed, with incredible power, all

1139
00:52:12,679 --> 00:52:15,360
fields power. He makes some good decisions and he's just

1140
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,000
super young. Learning that doesn't maybe make for the best

1141
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,559
fantasy player this season. So because every goddamn tweet is

1142
00:52:21,559 --> 00:52:23,559
about him and his homers, and he's Berry Bonds and

1143
00:52:23,599 --> 00:52:25,719
Pittsburgh and stuff. Like I would look to trade him

1144
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,639
to see if somebody wants to at least him. Yeah,

1145
00:52:28,639 --> 00:52:30,599
in chat, what was it why at Langford? Someone said

1146
00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:32,840
who would you rather have? Valdez or Langford? And it's like, well,

1147
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:34,360
that's the type of trade I think I could get

1148
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:35,039
down with, you know.

1149
00:52:35,639 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, I mean I still want Langford, but yeah,

1150
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:39,599
that's what I'm saying.

1151
00:52:39,679 --> 00:52:42,639
Speaker 2: It might be that it might be but like I

1152
00:52:42,679 --> 00:52:45,199
could be okay with that move, or maybe I just

1153
00:52:45,199 --> 00:52:47,480
don't think anybody does this. But it just follow me,

1154
00:52:47,599 --> 00:52:49,559
like what if someone just really didn't believe in like

1155
00:52:49,639 --> 00:52:53,039
Foster Griffin, and they wanted like Valdez and like, you know,

1156
00:52:53,199 --> 00:52:55,159
another little thing. It's like, that's the type of stuff

1157
00:52:55,159 --> 00:52:57,960
you might be able to pull together here and get

1158
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,000
off of the volatility of Valdez. But from a long

1159
00:53:00,119 --> 00:53:03,760
term perspective, the dude's awesome. But I do think he's

1160
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:04,400
going to finish the.

1161
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 3: Year probably closer to a two forty two fifty hitter.

1162
00:53:07,079 --> 00:53:09,159
Speaker 2: But twelve homers and a three hundred average and one

1163
00:53:09,199 --> 00:53:12,199
hundred at bats, Like, don't be dismissive just because that

1164
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,480
strikeout rate is a problem. He just might This might

1165
00:53:14,519 --> 00:53:16,920
be the new version of the players, you know, the

1166
00:53:17,079 --> 00:53:20,119
old Adam Dunn type where you know, but I'm calling

1167
00:53:20,159 --> 00:53:23,440
it the Murakami, the Kyle Schwarber where the average is

1168
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,519
never going to be incredible. Maybe there'll be years where

1169
00:53:25,519 --> 00:53:28,559
it goes, but just you know, he's just not going

1170
00:53:28,639 --> 00:53:30,119
to chase You're not going to beat him outside of

1171
00:53:30,119 --> 00:53:31,599
the zone. You got to beat him in the zone.

1172
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,320
And as he gets older that might be more of

1173
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:37,599
a problem. Just a boy is Merlin is He's the

1174
00:53:37,679 --> 00:53:41,039
dude struggling over the last two weeks. Who are you

1175
00:53:41,159 --> 00:53:43,400
worried about? Here are some guys. I'm going to put

1176
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,480
him in two buckets. Bucket number one Corbyn Carroll, who

1177
00:53:47,559 --> 00:53:49,920
is god an injury and hitting a buck eleven with

1178
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,039
a homer and a stolen base.

1179
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:52,679
Speaker 3: Got to be worried about the injury.

1180
00:53:53,119 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bryce Harper hitting one forty three, no homer's, no

1181
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,760
stolen bases, could tell Marte one ninety no homer's, no

1182
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,679
stolen bases, Freddy Freeman one eighty eight. Actually there's a run,

1183
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,719
hasn't done anything else. Pet Alonzo does have a couple

1184
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,880
homers and stolen bases, but hitting only one eighty eight,

1185
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,039
and Gunner Henderson one homer, one fifty eight.

1186
00:54:13,079 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 3: The bucket stops there six very very.

1187
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 2: High end names. It is only a two week marker,

1188
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:19,880
I think.

1189
00:54:20,039 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 3: And there's racing games in there for the break.

1190
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 2: So oh yeah, probably would have been better if we

1191
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,159
would have done the last month, to be honest with you, But.

1192
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,199
Speaker 3: I gotta say, like, I'm not worried about too many

1193
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:29,199
of these guys.

1194
00:54:29,639 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 2: But you're on the guy that I'm worried about.

1195
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,039
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, Gunner. What is he hitting for the year

1196
00:54:34,079 --> 00:54:37,800
to seventeen? Not good? Yeah? I mean, is this gonna

1197
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,440
bounce back around two point not good? Two point yeah?

1198
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,079
Two twenty. I mean, if he doesn't get it together

1199
00:54:43,199 --> 00:54:45,840
in the next couple of weeks, like you know, enjoy

1200
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,360
the break all that stuff and have have a nice hot,

1201
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:51,440
hot start. After he's hitting two twenty, it does seventeen

1202
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,599
homers and eight swipes, but the OBP is two eighty nine.

1203
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,199
He's talking about how it's not above three hundred. It's

1204
00:54:57,199 --> 00:55:01,840
pretty bad. He's scoring runs, which is the RBIs are okay,

1205
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,239
But I don't know. They got him hitting for the

1206
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,840
rest of the season about two fifty six based on

1207
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,840
what in health projections and where he went I understand,

1208
00:55:11,199 --> 00:55:13,519
I get it, but XBA is two thirty six, so

1209
00:55:13,559 --> 00:55:16,000
that to kind of to your point, like the highest

1210
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:19,039
he said in any month this year is two forty five.

1211
00:55:19,119 --> 00:55:23,320
He hit in June fourteen, two twenty five, two forty five,

1212
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,639
and then one seventy in July. July has been his.

1213
00:55:26,639 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 2: Worst month, I will say, interesting.

1214
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 3: And only one homer in July, also with three four

1215
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:32,079
and nine in April.

1216
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,840
Speaker 2: He's hitting only two nineteen against fastballs, but an XBA

1217
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,320
of two point fifty one, and offspeed has an XBA

1218
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,480
of two sixty one.

1219
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 3: He's doing that while also pulling the ball at.

1220
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,679
Speaker 2: The most aggressive degree he's ever done, twenty four point

1221
00:55:44,679 --> 00:55:47,760
eight percent pulled air percentage. Wonder if that's causing the

1222
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:51,039
problems and he switches off, or if it's just part

1223
00:55:51,079 --> 00:55:53,639
of the fix that's going to be coming here shortly.

1224
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,840
He's a super weird one. He is about fifty points

1225
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:01,480
lower Babbitt than his career and arguably it's oh it's

1226
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,719
like seventy five points lower than last year, so he's

1227
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,280
kind of underperforming. It says it in the pitch type

1228
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,320
as well. He's really tough. I lean if someone was

1229
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,559
super out on him to maybe buy when I see

1230
00:56:11,599 --> 00:56:15,840
like xbas against fastballs to be better. That's something he's

1231
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,440
gonna see more of. He's getting the ball in the

1232
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,599
air and pulling it more. Like those are things and

1233
00:56:19,679 --> 00:56:21,480
by the way, he has a better zone contact rate

1234
00:56:21,519 --> 00:56:24,639
than last year. Those are things that would lead me

1235
00:56:24,679 --> 00:56:26,119
to want to buy, but I would need like big

1236
00:56:26,119 --> 00:56:28,400
old discount because he might be the most worrisome of this.

1237
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:31,800
Ktell's like, I guess I'm gonna this is stupid, but like,

1238
00:56:32,519 --> 00:56:34,119
just these are all these guys, like I don't worry

1239
00:56:34,119 --> 00:56:37,239
Freddy Freeman's built on contact, like pet A Lonzo's power,

1240
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:38,920
Like I'm.

1241
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 3: A little worried about Carol the top.

1242
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,559
Speaker 2: End, not just because of the injury, but also I

1243
00:56:43,599 --> 00:56:47,199
just feel like just having a mediocre year. Great, he's

1244
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,199
hitting triples, like please don't miss time so I can

1245
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,760
win my triples bet, But like the season hasn't been awesome,

1246
00:56:53,159 --> 00:56:55,239
So maybe I'm a little bit worried on like this

1247
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:56,960
is we're gonna look back and we're gonna be like, oh,

1248
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,519
that was a less than stellar year. That maybe he's

1249
00:56:59,519 --> 00:57:02,199
more of a second round pick. And if you look

1250
00:57:02,199 --> 00:57:04,519
at the Diamondbacks being weird and him not performing and

1251
00:57:04,559 --> 00:57:06,800
now this hyper extended elbow, Like maybe we should be

1252
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:08,360
more worried about Carol in the second half.

1253
00:57:09,039 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the injury stuff really does bother me. So,

1254
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,320
and who knows is is this Like is this finally

1255
00:57:18,119 --> 00:57:21,159
after it's been hurting him for six weeks? Or is

1256
00:57:21,199 --> 00:57:23,840
this he just got hurt on the swing and now

1257
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:25,360
we have to deal with it, you know what I mean?

1258
00:57:25,519 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 2: So I thought it was on the swing, but it's

1259
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:28,239
a fair question.

1260
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,159
Speaker 3: Well, look when he hit the homer on Saturday, it

1261
00:57:32,199 --> 00:57:34,280
looked like he was grabbing his elbow a little bit

1262
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,920
as well, So like, how long has this bothered him?

1263
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,800
Is it just this weekend or has it been you know,

1264
00:57:40,719 --> 00:57:41,800
at the course of the season.

1265
00:57:42,039 --> 00:57:44,039
Speaker 2: That's something we've seen with him as well. Here's some

1266
00:57:44,039 --> 00:57:46,920
other warning signs it could be a little bit worrisome.

1267
00:57:47,239 --> 00:57:49,880
Barrel percentage is down around three percent year over year,

1268
00:57:51,119 --> 00:57:54,639
average excelocity is down a mile, prower launch angle's down

1269
00:57:54,639 --> 00:57:59,360
three degrees, and from an XBA standpoint, it's under two fifty.

1270
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,079
Why that is a little bit more important. He is

1271
00:58:02,639 --> 00:58:05,760
overperforming against fastballs right now. He's hitting two sixty seven

1272
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,880
XBA is two twenty seven. You don't want a guy

1273
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,239
to struggle against. If there's any pitch you could not,

1274
00:58:11,599 --> 00:58:16,039
please don't struggle dramatically or like Gunner. Hey, his Gunners

1275
00:58:16,119 --> 00:58:18,440
was a two sixty expected batting average, so maybe there's

1276
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,519
some positive regression in his future. That's not the case

1277
00:58:21,559 --> 00:58:25,039
with Carol, and I didn't notice this. Check this out, dude.

1278
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,119
Last year eighty one percent zone contact rate. This year

1279
00:58:28,239 --> 00:58:31,960
seventy seven point five. That is well, he'd always towed

1280
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,199
around league average on that, so don't read too much

1281
00:58:34,199 --> 00:58:37,480
into it. But that's well below average, and his wiff

1282
00:58:37,559 --> 00:58:40,320
rate gone from twenty four point eight to twenty nine percent.

1283
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,119
Maybe we do need to be great.

1284
00:58:42,199 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 3: Oh cool, he's the most prolific against lefty on lefty guy.

1285
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,719
Speaker 2: Great. Everything else is bothering me, So I actually I'm

1286
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,639
more bothered about Carol than anything on this list.

1287
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I agree.

1288
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:56,039
Speaker 2: The next batch is William Contreras hitting a buck one

1289
00:58:56,119 --> 00:58:58,199
oh three, no Homer's no stolen bases in the last

1290
00:58:58,239 --> 00:59:01,679
two weeks, Ozzie Albi's forty one at bats in that time,

1291
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,960
no Homer's no stolen bases, hitting two twenty tay Oscar

1292
00:59:05,039 --> 00:59:07,159
It sucks since he got back. He has two hits

1293
00:59:07,239 --> 00:59:09,719
in twenty five at bats. Cal Rawley a big old

1294
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,800
pile of dump one ninety four, the big Dumper Tics,

1295
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:17,159
a new meaning Walker, Marsh, Lyle, Basillo Bets, all hitting

1296
00:59:17,199 --> 00:59:19,920
under two hundred, all actually hitting under one fifty, by

1297
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,960
the way, and really, you know, like Brandon Marsh, you

1298
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,559
don't want to see because he had been so good.

1299
00:59:24,599 --> 00:59:26,039
There's kind of varying degree of weird.

1300
00:59:26,039 --> 00:59:27,159
Speaker 3: It's not a shock, though.

1301
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,039
Speaker 2: What are your worries though of this group?

1302
00:59:29,199 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 3: I mean, walking beside our hurt, so obviously right now

1303
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,480
I'm worried about them. Taoskar doesn't seem right. Maybe he

1304
00:59:35,519 --> 00:59:37,559
came back too soon. I know he has really good

1305
00:59:37,679 --> 00:59:41,760
numbers against whoever the Dodgers are playing tonight, because I

1306
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,280
was looking at that like he does. So maybe tonight

1307
00:59:44,559 --> 00:59:47,000
we'll get him back on track. But he has been bad.

1308
00:59:47,119 --> 00:59:51,960
Cal Rawley's been bad all year, right, I think Lyle's

1309
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,559
probably streaky, so I'm not too worried about him. I'm

1310
00:59:55,559 --> 00:59:59,719
not very worried about Mookyuh So, yeah, it's probably just

1311
01:00:00,559 --> 01:00:03,840
Taoscar Roley's been bad all year. We're done worrying about him.

1312
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,960
He's just not good this year. I think that's kind

1313
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,119
of over with and then Walker and I think you

1314
01:00:09,159 --> 01:00:11,599
can you know, if you're in redraft, you can cut

1315
01:00:11,639 --> 01:00:15,159
caw Rawly. I don't want to who are you going

1316
01:00:15,239 --> 01:00:18,519
to pick up? Right, but I mean, let me just

1317
01:00:18,559 --> 01:00:20,599
look at some catchers that have been hot over the

1318
01:00:20,679 --> 01:00:22,039
last like two weeks.

1319
01:00:22,119 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: Here, I got thirty days here on Fantasy Pros, You've

1320
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,159
got Gabby Moreno's the fourth catcher, hitting three sixty eight.

1321
01:00:28,239 --> 01:00:30,760
Carter jen He's only forty four percent on Carter Jensen

1322
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,519
four homers to sixty seven. Carlos Francisco Aalverrez, by the

1323
01:00:34,559 --> 01:00:38,199
way seventh two fifty seven, six homers. G two Ermudo

1324
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,800
is ranked ninth, Tyler Stevenson tenth.

1325
01:00:41,239 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 3: Dobby's hitting ninety seven over the last two weeks, so

1326
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:48,119
he's kind of bouncing back. Danner Diaz is hitting two

1327
01:00:48,159 --> 01:00:50,920
eighty over the last two weeks. He's forty one percent roster.

1328
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,679
Harry Ford's been a nice addition to Washington j t

1329
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,119
Real Muto as you mentioned before. So yeah, there are

1330
01:00:56,119 --> 01:00:59,800
guys to be had. Yeah, it's Tyler Stevens is hitting

1331
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:03,920
three over the last two weeks. So I think cal

1332
01:01:04,039 --> 01:01:06,280
Rawley can get it back. I just don't think it's

1333
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,719
this year. I think it's twenty twenty seven and beyond.

1334
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 2: I have a general worry about Ozzy because I never

1335
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,199
really bought it, So Ozzy worries me. Marsh worries me

1336
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,239
because like it's all dictated on him being like high

1337
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:21,159
end average. And I will say, like I definitely fooled

1338
01:01:21,159 --> 01:01:23,159
myself into Mookie Bets thinking that things are going to

1339
01:01:23,199 --> 01:01:26,360
turn around, and just like it's continuously being bad that

1340
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,360
those are the ones that really stand out. I don't

1341
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,559
think it's anything critical yet. Marsh is still hitting like

1342
01:01:30,719 --> 01:01:33,079
over two ninety, so I don't want to like go

1343
01:01:33,119 --> 01:01:35,679
into full panic mode. But July he is hitting one

1344
01:01:35,719 --> 01:01:39,280
fifty seven, So something to monitor everything. Since the break

1345
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,840
has been really bad, thin man leagues, it might be

1346
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,920
time to even move off of guys like Marsh and Betts,

1347
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:45,360
to be honest with you, because it's like these are

1348
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,039
really bad around taoscar Hernandez too. I think that one might.

1349
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 3: Be he's he's been banged up. It's just banged up

1350
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:52,519
and bad and all the bees.

1351
01:01:52,599 --> 01:01:56,599
Speaker 2: So all right in the pitching side, some big performances.

1352
01:01:56,800 --> 01:01:59,599
We actually had a bunch of like really like great

1353
01:01:59,639 --> 01:02:01,880
performance is from the great pitchers, but also some other

1354
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:05,400
surprising ones. Trek Scouble seven with nine k's against the Angels,

1355
01:02:05,679 --> 01:02:10,480
Yamamoto complete game, seven strikeouts to earned runs against the Yankees.

1356
01:02:11,199 --> 01:02:14,880
Really deserves better and more Flowers Paul Skiing seven innings,

1357
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:18,239
one earn run, eight strikeouts against Cleveland. I want to

1358
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:19,800
say I think the Velo might have also been a

1359
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,639
little bit better. That's something Arico has been really worried about.

1360
01:02:22,719 --> 01:02:24,800
He'll probably talk about that on leading off later this week.

1361
01:02:25,079 --> 01:02:28,679
Logan Gilbert ten strikeouts, six innings against the Giants. Chris

1362
01:02:28,679 --> 01:02:31,760
Sales seven with six strikeouts, now earn runs. Brian Wu

1363
01:02:32,159 --> 01:02:34,800
six innings to and runs seven k's against the Giants.

1364
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,239
Speaker 3: Good to see him get going again.

1365
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean they they And that's the key I

1366
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,840
think to them being like hyper aggressive in the trade market.

1367
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,920
If you've got Gilbert and you've got Kirby, and you've

1368
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,840
got Miller, and you've got if you got in handcock back,

1369
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,960
if you got those guys going like you still have

1370
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,400
a surplus, you know, could you trade? They could trade.

1371
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,639
I see people mocking Kirby in trades and it's like,

1372
01:02:53,679 --> 01:02:56,320
I don't buy it. They could do it if they wanted,

1373
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,679
they got the surplus of it, I would it.

1374
01:02:58,719 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 3: He's kind of a weird dude. I don't know how

1375
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:03,559
in the locker room.

1376
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 2: Also, that could be just if you want to put

1377
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:10,599
something together like I did with the Padres thing. And

1378
01:03:10,679 --> 01:03:14,280
let's say the Mariners really don't want to trade Sloan

1379
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:17,000
in Kate and they see a future of like you know,

1380
01:03:17,159 --> 01:03:21,960
Gilbert and Cad and Sloan and maybe it's like Bryce Miller,

1381
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,960
and they want to build around that. Kirby for Miller

1382
01:03:25,199 --> 01:03:27,039
starts to make a lot more sense, and that's a

1383
01:03:27,079 --> 01:03:29,360
frontline starter for the Padres. And if they didn't want

1384
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:30,800
to get rid of Sloan and they want to build

1385
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,280
those two guys up, I guess I could see it.

1386
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,400
But I just find it hard to believe that the

1387
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:42,440
Mariners would break up the Gilbert Kirby combo. Yeah, it's possibility.

1388
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:46,760
And Himan Hancock's been good too. That Lozardo's five innings,

1389
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,599
seven strikeouts, and that was a good performance at home,

1390
01:03:49,719 --> 01:03:51,639
because I think he had been I don't feel these

1391
01:03:51,639 --> 01:03:54,199
guys struggle at home and they're or no, they're good

1392
01:03:54,199 --> 01:03:56,360
at home and then they're bad on the road. I

1393
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:57,960
think it is, or maybe I mix it up, but

1394
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,159
either way, Lozarda was good. Sonny Gray six innings, five strikeouts,

1395
01:04:01,199 --> 01:04:04,519
They have four walks against Tampa. This was a good sign, though.

1396
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:08,360
Nolan McClain six innings, two hits, nowhere and runs ten

1397
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:13,960
strikeouts against the Phillies. Buzz saw curveball going. McClain looked

1398
01:04:14,079 --> 01:04:16,000
really good. Yeah, he had a little stretch. There was

1399
01:04:16,199 --> 01:04:17,760
there was a one period of time in the season

1400
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:19,800
where it was like we had to talk about him

1401
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,199
as like a top ten pitcher, and then things kind

1402
01:04:22,199 --> 01:04:24,880
of were like coming apart a little bit, and he's back.

1403
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,119
He's got a three three four ERA, a one point

1404
01:04:27,199 --> 01:04:30,559
zero nine whip, His k percentage is closing in on

1405
01:04:30,599 --> 01:04:33,280
twenty nine percent. Like he looks all the parts of

1406
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:37,320
that top like twelve to fifteen starting pitcher. Though, it

1407
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,559
is funny because I asked the question because Uri Perez

1408
01:04:40,679 --> 01:04:45,079
was phenomenal this week and six innings, one hit, nine

1409
01:04:45,119 --> 01:04:48,800
strikeouts against the Brewers. I asked the poll question of

1410
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:52,119
Ury Perez versus Nolan McClain on leading off.

1411
01:04:52,039 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 3: What the hell did you what did you don't Knowmber?

1412
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 2: What you said?

1413
01:04:54,119 --> 01:04:57,199
Speaker 3: I said, Uri? But I mean, it is such a

1414
01:04:57,239 --> 01:04:59,920
coin flip. I don't think it really matters one way

1415
01:05:00,039 --> 01:05:04,920
the other. Honestly, Marlins are playing better. So if any

1416
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,800
if there's a hint of any injury with Noel McLain,

1417
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,559
maybe he gets shut down because the Mets is so

1418
01:05:09,639 --> 01:05:13,599
bad this year, right, That is my splitting hairs between them.

1419
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:16,639
But I don't think it really matters. Yuri is healthy

1420
01:05:16,679 --> 01:05:19,559
now and looks great. McClain looks great coming off the break.

1421
01:05:20,559 --> 01:05:23,719
Our poll was fifty eight percent in favor of Yuri, So,

1422
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:27,119
I mean, it's honestly really right down the middle.

1423
01:05:27,920 --> 01:05:31,159
Speaker 2: And I think it was fifty eight percent. That's what

1424
01:05:32,039 --> 01:05:33,920
Oh yeah, he does say fifty eight percent Ury Perez

1425
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,880
they went in favor of so Yury got that one,

1426
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,920
even though percentage ownership here it's McLain ninety seven percent.

1427
01:05:40,079 --> 01:05:42,559
Ury was ninety percent, So that one's kind of interesting.

1428
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,519
Logan Webb was good six and two thirds, three and runs,

1429
01:05:45,519 --> 01:05:48,000
five strikeouts, Sandy al Contra six innings, one in runs,

1430
01:05:48,119 --> 01:05:49,840
seven strikeouts against the Brewers as well.

1431
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 3: Not a good pitching this weekend. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

1432
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 2: There's really good and I'm actually gonna like move off

1433
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:55,360
of them because I want to talk without these other guys.

1434
01:05:55,679 --> 01:05:59,360
But a little bit lower. A couple that stood out

1435
01:05:59,599 --> 01:06:02,679
read Debt Meer is good again, only fifty nine percent

1436
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:07,079
owned on was this yahou Yes, six innings, four hits

1437
01:06:07,239 --> 01:06:11,159
nowhere and runs, no walks in seven strikeouts. I think

1438
01:06:11,159 --> 01:06:13,159
he made the case for the big trade that's coming,

1439
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:15,840
and the White Sox have been paired with him. I

1440
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,360
also think the Braves would be an interesting one. I

1441
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,000
think Reed Debtmers is actually going to get a pretty

1442
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,039
decent return, as the Angels apparently are making him and

1443
01:06:24,119 --> 01:06:25,119
Soriano available.

1444
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,039
Speaker 3: I didn't even think about it. Man, that's a good.

1445
01:06:27,199 --> 01:06:29,679
That's a good. I think they need pitching.

1446
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 2: I think the Brewers would obviously go, but the White

1447
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,199
Sox have really been tied to Reed Debt Meers, so

1448
01:06:34,559 --> 01:06:36,760
I wondered what that trade could look like. And then

1449
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:41,679
Jake Bennett six innings, one hit, in strikeouts. Dude, he's

1450
01:06:41,679 --> 01:06:43,559
been the best pitcher like over the last month for

1451
01:06:43,679 --> 01:06:46,199
the Red Sox. He continued, only fifty six percent own

1452
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,960
and then I think you've probably watched a decent amount him.

1453
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:50,639
I don't know if you saw him live, but dude,

1454
01:06:50,639 --> 01:06:51,400
Peter Lambert.

1455
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:52,159
Speaker 3: I did see him.

1456
01:06:52,079 --> 01:06:55,199
Speaker 2: Live yet six innings, one and run ten strikeouts.

1457
01:06:55,559 --> 01:06:57,119
Speaker 3: The game that I went, I think he had eight

1458
01:06:57,159 --> 01:06:59,800
strikeouts and it was two zip Astros was the final.

1459
01:07:00,159 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 2: So he's one of those dudes I just always felt

1460
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,119
so dismissive of. But he's got a three point zero

1461
01:07:06,119 --> 01:07:06,599
three EER.

1462
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 3: The Astros get these guys every year. Ron al Blanco, right,

1463
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:14,000
did this then all hold like this though? Right, Lambert's

1464
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:15,880
been great, and I was surprised to see that he's

1465
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,800
over fifty percent rostered in Yahoo. He's fifty four percent rostered.

1466
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,119
So he's been and by the way, ron al Blanco

1467
01:07:22,119 --> 01:07:25,559
comes back today, I believe. So he's been out all year.

1468
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:29,039
Not in a hurry with Pete Lambert. Twenty four percent

1469
01:07:29,119 --> 01:07:33,039
k percentage. Expected era is three to eight expected batting

1470
01:07:33,079 --> 01:07:36,840
average against his one nine to nine. Really impressive, and

1471
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:41,840
he's throwing eight different pitches. He's only thrown a bunch

1472
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,840
of curveballs. It's really more like seven pitches.

1473
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:47,639
Speaker 2: But it's just crazy. I haven't done like crazy deep

1474
01:07:47,679 --> 01:07:51,079
dives on him. The fastballs and ninety two average ex

1475
01:07:51,159 --> 01:07:53,719
velocity against the sliders ninety but everything else is super

1476
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:57,400
low and he's getting whiffs. Just an incredibly impressive season

1477
01:07:57,400 --> 01:08:01,480
by Pete Lambert. Ten man leagues. If they're available, Guys

1478
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,719
like Pete Lambert and Jake Bennett really shouldn't be, but

1479
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:06,840
they would be great streamers the under fifty percent market,

1480
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,679
though Jared Jones continues to judge. I think he's at

1481
01:08:09,719 --> 01:08:13,000
like three incredible starts, five innings, nine strikeouts, three hits,

1482
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,079
one walk and one in run he did against the

1483
01:08:16,119 --> 01:08:19,640
Cleveland Guardians. I've seen some trade rumory stuff. I'm not

1484
01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:21,520
really sure why they would do it, but I've seen, like,

1485
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,159
you know, they maybe package him to like, you know,

1486
01:08:24,239 --> 01:08:25,840
one of those major league type of trades, like if

1487
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:27,920
you're gonna go get Mason Miller, you might have to

1488
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,239
give up a Jared Jones or something like that. Like

1489
01:08:30,279 --> 01:08:32,159
that could be out there. But he has been really

1490
01:08:32,159 --> 01:08:35,680
good a couple more landon route seven innings, three walks,

1491
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:38,840
two strikeouts against Seattle JT Gin six and one third

1492
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,439
seven strikeouts against Washington and your boy Shane Bieber. Six innings,

1493
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,800
three and runs or three hits, no one in runs,

1494
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,840
two walks, six strikeouts two forty three forty three, So

1495
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,600
they're all in the forties. Pick one Jones, Route Gin

1496
01:08:52,319 --> 01:08:53,760
or Bieber.

1497
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 3: M I think probably Jared Jones strikeout horror, That's what

1498
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:02,840
I am. And he had nine against Yeah, yeah, I

1499
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:03,560
think I am too.

1500
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 2: They're still building up to those innings.

1501
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,239
Speaker 3: If not in it's been good all year too. Raup

1502
01:09:08,319 --> 01:09:11,399
has been real hit or miss. I think he would

1503
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,000
probably be at the bottom of this list. For me,

1504
01:09:14,119 --> 01:09:16,319
I'd probably go Jones, Gain, Bieber.

1505
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:20,079
Speaker 2: Rap Drohan went six with nine strikeouts, kind of make

1506
01:09:20,119 --> 01:09:21,720
a case to keep in the rotation. That was against

1507
01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:25,000
the Marlins. Michael McGreevy six and one third five strikeouts

1508
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,560
against Arizona, Kate Cavali six innings and nine strikeouts against

1509
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:31,000
the A's, And I got to stop because I mentioned

1510
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,720
before Roki Sazaki ownership gotta have picked back up five

1511
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,079
and two thirds five strikeouts and his villa.

1512
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 3: Was way up and no tears this time, Yeah, way up.

1513
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:45,680
Speaker 2: So I kind of buy him back in, you know, tissues.

1514
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,279
He's gotten tissues which made the villa go faster.

1515
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:52,279
Speaker 3: A slimmer. Flores has been coaching him, so that's good.

1516
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:54,399
Speaker 2: And it was against the Yankees too, and it just

1517
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,199
like seeing the villo go up like that, Like it's

1518
01:09:56,199 --> 01:09:58,600
just hard to pass. Brendon Young had a really good

1519
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,600
outing seven innings, seven strike up against Houston Spencer, Arraghedtty

1520
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,560
five innings, six strikeouts against Baltimore, but four walks, Set

1521
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:10,680
Lugos six innings, three strikeouts, Arraghetty, Young, Lugo, Kavali. I'm

1522
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:12,159
not gonna put Sazaki in there because I feel like

1523
01:10:12,159 --> 01:10:15,479
he's different. Cavali, Arraghedtty, Young, and Lugo. Who would you want?

1524
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 3: Cavali, Raghetty, Young, Lugo. I'll give me Young. Young has

1525
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:21,319
been good, I think for the last like three or

1526
01:10:21,359 --> 01:10:24,359
four starts in a row, and he's going deep into

1527
01:10:24,359 --> 01:10:27,000
games too, not walking mini, getting some strikeouts. I think

1528
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:28,800
Brandon Young's my guy out of that group.

1529
01:10:29,199 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's been good too. Yeah, Kavali with

1530
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,319
the strikeouts stuff, but Brandon. I think I like both

1531
01:10:34,359 --> 01:10:36,840
of them over. Aragetty and Arragedty's in between their own. Yeah.

1532
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 3: Aarraghetty is a damn land mine at this point, Like

1533
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,760
it feels like he goes out and he'll give up one,

1534
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:44,680
and then he'll go out and give up six the

1535
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:45,119
next start.

1536
01:10:45,199 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 2: Let me just look at Brandon.

1537
01:10:46,279 --> 01:10:50,079
Speaker 3: Young's game log real quick while we're here, he has

1538
01:10:50,279 --> 01:10:53,359
seven innings one to earn, seven innings, three, five innings, four,

1539
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:57,039
five innings, two, five innings, one, six innings three, So

1540
01:10:57,439 --> 01:10:59,680
a bunch of quality starts in there, and no blow

1541
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,560
ups is really the big thing. He has given up

1542
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:05,960
no more than four earned runs in a single game.

1543
01:11:06,239 --> 01:11:09,119
The third game of the year against Houston that he pitched,

1544
01:11:09,279 --> 01:11:12,079
he gave up ten runs, but only four were earned,

1545
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,680
so probably not a good start there, but no other

1546
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,000
blow ups. It's been three to four runs or fewer

1547
01:11:18,119 --> 01:11:21,399
in every single start. So Brandon Young is a very

1548
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:22,640
nice four player right now.

1549
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,319
Speaker 2: I think you have a section called s he starts,

1550
01:11:25,319 --> 01:11:27,039
which we're gonna do, and I think you mistook this

1551
01:11:27,079 --> 01:11:29,039
player there, but you have Brandon fought in there, and

1552
01:11:29,039 --> 01:11:29,560
he sure didn't.

1553
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,039
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I just moved him down too low.

1554
01:11:32,079 --> 01:11:32,439
That's fine.

1555
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,159
Speaker 2: I just wanted to mention him because I've been talking

1556
01:11:34,159 --> 01:11:36,119
about him for the last couple of weeks. Four straight

1557
01:11:36,199 --> 01:11:39,439
starts that he has been really good, and his pitch

1558
01:11:39,479 --> 01:11:42,039
mix is kind of changing. He went five and one third,

1559
01:11:42,159 --> 01:11:46,039
two earned runs, only three strikeouts. He's not getting the strikeouts.

1560
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 3: But I was so used to putting him in the

1561
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,800
bad start section. Lives there. He has lived there, but

1562
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:50,479
he's a guy.

1563
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:53,039
Speaker 2: I think I have more interest even than like Cavali,

1564
01:11:53,079 --> 01:11:54,560
to be honest with you, I think he's really turning

1565
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:55,000
it around.

1566
01:11:55,199 --> 01:11:57,319
Speaker 3: They think. I listened to the post game with him

1567
01:11:57,319 --> 01:11:59,680
and they talked about how he's just like throwing the

1568
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,000
ball over the plate more, not walking as many guys.

1569
01:12:02,199 --> 01:12:04,840
That's been the whole point to him going down, and

1570
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:06,199
that's what he's been doing recently.

1571
01:12:06,239 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 2: One walk in his last three four starts, so that

1572
01:12:09,079 --> 01:12:12,359
is definitely living up to that. In the s start department,

1573
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,479
Edwardo Rodriguez blew up two and two thirds, five earned runs,

1574
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:18,640
two walks, three strikeouts, seventy percent own. There is gonna

1575
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,600
be a big, dramatic drop. And this is almost two

1576
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,600
a t what I was talking about before the break.

1577
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,760
I did a video with a Rico and I pinpointeded

1578
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,560
Wardo as a cell and literally I said, he has

1579
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,720
been amazing. He's been incredible. But what's gonna happen is

1580
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,760
if he has one of these starts, he's gonna fall

1581
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,000
off of a cliff. The trade value will be gone.

1582
01:12:39,239 --> 01:12:42,199
I think people will cut him. He might get more,

1583
01:12:42,319 --> 01:12:44,920
he might get more of a grace. But guess what,

1584
01:12:45,159 --> 01:12:47,920
I think the trade value of EDWARDO a week ago

1585
01:12:48,159 --> 01:12:51,119
looks dramatically different than now. And not a lot of guys,

1586
01:12:51,359 --> 01:12:55,359
you don't. The players that that's true for should be scarier.

1587
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:58,199
One start shouldn't scare the s out of people. But

1588
01:12:58,239 --> 01:13:00,840
I think ed WARDO it does. Doesn't mean he's done

1589
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,520
by the way, right, because he did this before. Yeah,

1590
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:05,840
he's had a blow up start already this year. I

1591
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,039
think it was like five or six starts ago where

1592
01:13:08,039 --> 01:13:12,039
he gave up six and like three innings. Like when

1593
01:13:12,079 --> 01:13:17,119
he does get dusted, he is out early in games.

1594
01:13:17,159 --> 01:13:19,720
Speaker 3: I think this was two and two thirds. I think

1595
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:21,680
the other one was like three and a third. He

1596
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:25,239
goes fast if he gets yanked. But he's been good

1597
01:13:25,279 --> 01:13:28,680
ever since the Game of Venezuela clinch against the US, right, Like,

1598
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:31,399
he's been good since World Baseball Classic this year. So

1599
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:33,960
I don't want to completely count him out. But I

1600
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,560
think you're more right than you're wrong. I do think

1601
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:38,880
that it is the riding on the wall and we're

1602
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,720
gonna he's about to turn into a pumpkin.

1603
01:13:41,079 --> 01:13:43,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, And just again, if you were in the trade

1604
01:13:43,399 --> 01:13:45,880
world and you could have gotten something from That's what

1605
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:47,479
I wanted to do, is get off of him while

1606
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,560
you could get something. But you know he might turn around,

1607
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:51,119
it might be good. I just think that's seventy percent

1608
01:13:51,159 --> 01:13:53,560
is going to look closer to fifty by next week.

1609
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:57,279
I drafted stupid Griffin Jackson. He got his things. Lit

1610
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,560
Earn runs well, six strikeouts against Boston.

1611
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,039
Speaker 3: That was Bostin's too hot. Can't start guys against Boston

1612
01:14:04,119 --> 01:14:04,439
right now.

1613
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:06,560
Speaker 2: Those are the two biggest own ones. The other ones

1614
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:10,880
like no, Cameron got banged around, Zebbie, Matthew, zachly Tel, Grayson, Rodriguez, Feltner.

1615
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,000
I think Cameron and Matthews were the only real relevant

1616
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:14,239
fantasy ones.

1617
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,560
Speaker 3: We had Feldner on the like good list like four

1618
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,600
weeks in a row, and then he got yeah, I

1619
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:21,039
just that's why he don't buy it.

1620
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 2: And then in the closer department, not a lot we're

1621
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,840
gonna pick up after like three days or whatever. But

1622
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:28,720
we had blown saves from Alex Lang, Paul Sewalt, Soto,

1623
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:32,279
and Fairbanks, three of the four legitimate legitimate closers. Sodo

1624
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,800
SODA's a little dicey, but he had a blown save

1625
01:14:36,079 --> 01:14:39,039
Policywell got in l Lane got the blown save in

1626

Speaker 3: Was a one nothing game and he gave up the

1629
01:14:44,199 --> 01:14:45,840
three run bomb to end it fair.

1630
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he might just be cooked. And I don't think

1631
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,680
there was only one non closer save Grant Wolf from

1632
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:52,279
nothing much to pick from.

1633
01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,600

my schedule is changing on leading off. We haven't really

1657
01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:57,199
talked about that yet. I'm Monday through Wednesday this week,

1658
01:15:57,239 --> 01:15:59,000
and then I'm going to be like three shows next week,

1659
01:15:59,079 --> 01:16:00,920
and then August I kind of pair back down a

1660
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,119
little bit. You can catch me on over there, but

1661
01:16:03,159 --> 01:16:04,920
you're gonna be able to catch Bogman a little bit

1662
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:07,399
more regularly as well. That's the new development as we mentioned.

1663
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,119
Speaker 3: So Bogman and I will be on shows in August.

1664
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:13,239
By the way, Yeah, and Bubba happened on a baseball

1665
01:16:13,239 --> 01:16:16,079
show since we did that line Star, Yeah, like twenty

1666
01:16:16,119 --> 01:16:19,039
eighteen or twenty nineteen or whatever. It was a long

1667
01:16:19,039 --> 01:16:22,720
time ago. So yeah, some exciting stuff happening happening over there.

1668
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:23,720
Just follow us on Twitter.

1669
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, the more baseball coverage. So yeah, Bubba's gonna be

1670
01:16:26,239 --> 01:16:28,439
on there. So the rotation is gonna be like Rico, me,

1671
01:16:29,079 --> 01:16:32,399
Bubba and Bogman. Me and Bogman are Wednesday on leading

1672
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:34,119
off and then I think we have a couple more

1673
01:16:34,159 --> 01:16:35,960
