WEBVTT

1
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Greeting societations. Everyone at We're twelve and welking to Fantasy

2
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Baseball Live. It is August twenty third, about three thirty

3
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>in the afternoon. Tim, I think we've got five weeks

4
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.039
<v Speaker 1>left in the season because it gets it's done on

5
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the twenty ninth or September. That's crazy, right.

6
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's an early ending this year. So yeah, we're

7
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>heading into I believe five weeks left and hopefully Rich

8
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>You're involved in a couple of races and things are

9
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 2>rolling along.

10
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I am a couple of raises, and unfortunately every one

11
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 1>of my players seems to be hurt. Andy Pais was

12
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a unexpected disaster this weekend for me after I crawled

13
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>my way back up to the top, and I'm like, oh,

14
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>you got to be kidding me.

15
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I heard that. That hurt a lot of people.

16
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.719
<v Speaker 2>And we're starting to see, you know, players like like

17
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Weathers Okay, he's lost.

18
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Now I got him in four or five leagues, yes.

19
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 2>M Yeah, We're starting to see some not big names,

20
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>but contributing names. Yeah, names, players you don't want to lose.

21
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 1>And well, Ryan O'Hart is my big one. I I

22
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:38.159
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was sicky good he was a perfect

23
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 1>corner infielder and lost lost essentially for the season, and

24
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>it's yeah again it's it's I lost Juan Soto, which

25
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>is not I mean, that's been a disaster. But believe

26
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>it or not, Ryan O'Hearn is almost as bad. I mean,

27
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just a guy that you throw in there and

28
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't even think about it. He's just been great

29
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>and then you lose it and it's like, oh my gosh.

30
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 1>He was on the waiver wire and it's back to

31
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Rehee Hoskins, who also is on the IL. So.

32
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know, you take a look at those

33
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighty type I call him twenty eighty type players. Yeah,

34
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't replace them all that easily. And what did

35
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>you think this week about the Katel Martes situation.

36
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to you about that on Friday.

37
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I just ran out of time. It is really weird,

38
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean did I mean, it sounds like he's not

39
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>physically hurt from what I can tell, It's just he

40
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.479
<v Speaker 1>just didn't show up for work one day in Boston

41
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>and Troy Lavella said, you know, I don't know where

42
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>he is. I don't think he's hurt, and then the

43
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>next thing, you know, they put him on the restricted list,

44
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 1>then they put him on the IL and and then

45
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>they people saw him at the hotel bar the next day.

46
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know what is going on.

47
00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he ended up at the casino. I think the

48
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.520
<v Speaker 2>next yeah, he hear something like that and I and

49
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.439
<v Speaker 2>now the rumors are starting to pop up that they

50
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.639
<v Speaker 2>haven't been happy with them for a while now and

51
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 2>they were looking at trading them, and I it's bizarre.

52
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 2>And the timing, you know, for the Diamondbacks fighting for

53
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 2>a wild card spot, and the timing couldn't be worth

54
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>my worse. I think my gut feeling is he's never

55
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.159
<v Speaker 2>going to play another game in Arizona.

56
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Is but is he tradable I mean, or is somebody

57
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 1>else going to take him on? It's tough.

58
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I don't know how it's going to shake down.

59
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.919
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think I don't see a future in Arizona.

60
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>I really again, unless something changes and everybody kisses and

61
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.439
<v Speaker 2>makes up. It's just not a good situation at all.

62
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 2>It really isn't.

63
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Look. I mean, we hold these professional athletes, you and

64
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>I try not to, but you do just because it

65
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 1>is what it is that you high him. You put

66
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>them up a little higher. You think, well, this hocket

67
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>possibly happened. This kind of stuff happens in the workplace

68
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.879
<v Speaker 1>tim as you know, all the time, and people just

69
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 1>stop showing up and like, where's Bob, where's Mary? Well,

70
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, and you you got to find out

71
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>they just had enough and left.

72
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Well. I know one of our one of our regular

73
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>contributors on the Discord site, they were talking about it yesterday.

74
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 2>One of his uh he's a dentist and one of

75
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 2>one of his good friends. All of a sudden one

76
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 2>day one of his assistants, one of his assistants just

77
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 2>didn't come in. Yeah, no, no, nothing, just didn't didn't

78
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 2>show up. And yeah, two and a half months later

79
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.399
<v Speaker 2>showed up one one to know when should go back

80
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 2>to work. I don't I don't get it, but you're right.

81
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:53.160
<v Speaker 2>It happens in the real world all the time because

82
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:58.560
<v Speaker 2>people disappear, they just leave, find another job, and not

83
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 2>even a courtesy just say sorryan era.

84
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 1>So there's a great Larry David bit Larry David, creator

85
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>of Seinfeld, and had the Larry David show out. I

86
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you're ever watch any of this stuff.

87
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.759
<v Speaker 1>But he worked for He was a writer on Saturday

88
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Night Live and early in his career, and he would

89
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>write bid after bit after bit, and nothing would ever

90
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>make it to the show. Nothing would ever make it.

91
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>So one day he just went in and he was

92
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>so upset. He just went into Lorne Michaels, who runs SNL,

93
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and this is I've had enough, I'm tired of this.

94
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I quit. I'm never coming back. You suck, everybody sucks.

95
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 1>And he just left. So he gets home and his

96
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>next door neighbor says, what are you gonna do? Like

97
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 1>how are you gonna pay your rent? And he goes, oh, oh,

98
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't have quit. He goes, no, you shouldn't have quit.

99
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:49.720
<v Speaker 1>So then they concocted a thing of how to get

100
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>him back in and he would just come in on

101
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning Tim and act like nothing ever happened. He

102
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>would just show up and pretend that he never had

103
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the explode to just go back. So he did that

104
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.879
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, what are you doing in this room?

105
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 3>You quit?

106
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.439
<v Speaker 1>He goes, what are you talking about?

107
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>It?

108
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>It quit? And but it didn't work.

109
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 2>They saw the fa Yeah, there wasn't a check two

110
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 2>weeks later for his services.

111
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they made a whole Seinfeld episode based on that.

112
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:22.360
<v Speaker 2>It's very very funny.

113
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, so yeah, but it is the Katel Marte

114
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 1>thing is odd. And I agree that it's going to

115
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>be tough for him to come back. And I mean,

116
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.199
<v Speaker 1>he's one of the better players on the on the

117
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Diamondbacks and they're without him. But they got Jordan Lawler,

118
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:38.399
<v Speaker 1>who's who's played well since he came back.

119
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he's that last look still healthy.

120
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well that's that could change any day.

121
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there is a history there, but no, I just

122
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>found it very bizarre, very very bizarre.

123
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.759
<v Speaker 1>I think it is. Let's take a look at some

124
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of these games that are going on. Tim's first one

125
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 1>to Saint Louis Ford to nothing over the Phillies. It

126
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 1>sounds exciting. Let's see what Let's see what Bias has done.

127
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 1>And he is over three with another strikeout. He's got

128
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>four hits since he came up to all four home runs.

129
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 1>I did started this weekend because he was two lefties,

130
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>two very good lefties, but I figured and he did

131
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 1>hit a home run against Lozardo, but is over three

132
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 1>today against Christopher Sanchez, has not gotten hit off of

133
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>a right handed picture yet.

134
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, a little disappointed. Not a disaster for Sanchez.

135
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Six and two thirds innings, four and run, seven strikeouts,

136
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.600
<v Speaker 2>but I needed a couple. I needed a big game

137
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>from Christopher Sandez today and it was not to be.

138
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that sucks. Rek Scuble finally won a game and

139
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:50.399
<v Speaker 1>he was down three to nothing after the first inning

140
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and then buckled down. He's he's been very, very good

141
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.959
<v Speaker 1>timmy since the trade. But I guess not vintage Terrek Scuble.

142
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.680
<v Speaker 2>No, he's saving that for the playoffs.

143
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.399
<v Speaker 1>He could very well be. Yeah, A lot of a

144
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 1>lot of articles written about the PCA has got the

145
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 1>National League MVP locked up over show Heyo Tani? What

146
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>say you?

147
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:14.839
<v Speaker 4>Ah?

148
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I think he's got to be uh. I give him

149
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>an edge right now. But people shouldn't forget that Otani

150
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.319
<v Speaker 2>did have a pretty good first half on the mound.

151
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

152
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say that, Yeah, yeah, I believe it.

153
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I believe Otanisa was solidly under two and when you

154
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 2>look at the offense coming from him, I wouldn't I

155
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't totally pencil PCA in as the recipient quite yet.

156
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a I think it's a solid two

157
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:56.679
<v Speaker 2>horse race and a two week slump in September by

158
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>either one of them. Uh yeah, it's not over in

159
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the in the NL.

160
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's my belief that show hey Atani should win

161
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>it every year as long as he pitches. I mean,

162
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.799
<v Speaker 1>because only if he only pitched a half a season,

163
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.879
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter. There's no way that PCA could have

164
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 1>as good as the season has been. It can't be

165
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 1>better than show hey Atani's offensive season plus is pitching

166
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 1>just can't be.

167
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:23.240
<v Speaker 4>Now.

168
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 1>No, if Shotani's not pitching, then all of a sudden

169
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.320
<v Speaker 1>gets more benefit because he's a great center fielder. But

170
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I think these these guys need to

171
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 1>look at it's the whole package. I think they're forgetting

172
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>that pitches.

173
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think there's a player you know, O

174
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 2>Tani might might not win it this year, he might

175
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 2>not win it next year. He might win it two

176
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>years from now. But looking at the overall level of skill,

177
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 2>there is nobody who's talented in the game to show

178
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 2>you Otani is is he had nighton two record, a

179
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>one to seventy nine year, a a point ninety five

180
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 2>whip and to go along with that. You said thirty

181
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 2>homers driven in eighty eighty four runs score to eighty

182
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.120
<v Speaker 2>nine average, eight stolen bases, and now they're saying he

183
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:16.000
<v Speaker 2>could pitch next week. Okay, that ninety five strikeouts, but

184
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>it was in the eighty five and two thirds innings,

185
00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, it's you look at the combined numbers and

186
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>he is by far the greatest player we've ever seen

187
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 2>of our generation and for many other generations as well.

188
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>He's doing things I never I never would have considered

189
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.279
<v Speaker 2>twenty five years ago that this is even possible.

190
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, what a war is a weird thing? Uh

191
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.960
<v Speaker 1>PA's Wars eight point five show you Tonys four point

192
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>one is an offensive player. Haven't looked at us defensively,

193
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>but there's some weird ones in the in the top ten.

194
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm looking at JJ Weatherhold has had a

195
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>really nice season. He's seventh and more. Really, and Lewis

196
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Arise is one better than Shoheo Tani from an offensive standpoint, Really.

197
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:16.720
<v Speaker 3>I I how can he pos?

198
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:20.919
<v Speaker 1>How can how can Louis Arises six home runs and

199
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>ten stolen bases in a slug of four forty four

200
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.679
<v Speaker 1>equal better than what Showhyo Tani's on with thirty home

201
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 1>runs and a five forty nine slug. I don't understand.

202
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Thatah well, again, whatever defensive metric goes into that calculation,

203
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't reward dhs. So it's got to be substantial

204
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:49.120
<v Speaker 2>enough of a defensive contribution to the to the overall

205
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>number that Yeah. And again, yeahs.

206
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.279
<v Speaker 1>Defensive as a negative obviously, because he's a he's a DH,

207
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.919
<v Speaker 1>so he would be third in war Jordan Alvarez would

208
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:06.799
<v Speaker 1>be one PC forty two point eight, and then show

209
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 1>you Tony thirty five point two. So so most of

210
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>most of well, defensive is matting big for Pi Crow Armstrong.

211
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.320
<v Speaker 1>But then if you throw the pitching in, I don't

212
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I just think it, it's gotta be better.

213
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and again, if you look at the offense this year,

214
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 2>it is a little disappointing when he's coming off fifty

215
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:35.919
<v Speaker 2>four home runs, one hundred and thirty RBIs, and fifty

216
00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:40.480
<v Speaker 2>nine stolen bases. I that that twenty twenty four season

217
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 2>from O Tawni. I that's incredible, it really is. Yeah,

218
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.240
<v Speaker 2>fifty to fifty Not many players have gone fifty to fifty.

219
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, it does seem like peaker arms. Unless it

220
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>gets hurt. It's probably gonna I'm probably gonna win a

221
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:01.840
<v Speaker 1>good game between the between the Rays and Orioles. And

222
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 1>then the race finally broke through in the sixth inning

223
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:08.799
<v Speaker 1>against Shane Bosio. Pitched well, just tired here at the end.

224
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.159
<v Speaker 1>And now they're up three to nothing in the Orioles.

225
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're still in it four games under. They

226
00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:16.159
<v Speaker 1>got to keep winning though, Tim, They just got to

227
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>keep winning.

228
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Well with it being as bunched up as it is.

229
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Anytime you lose two games in a row, that you

230
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.679
<v Speaker 2>might have to crawl over four teams to get those

231
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:26.879
<v Speaker 2>two games back, and that just puts you where you were,

232
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:31.440
<v Speaker 2>not where you want to be. And yeah, it's it's

233
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.320
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be tight right to the bitter end.

234
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 2>We saw a great, great game from Dylan Cees yesterday again,

235
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.919
<v Speaker 2>but the jayser on the short end of a five

236
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:46.960
<v Speaker 2>to two score today. Yeah, they won yesterday.

237
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 1>As you said that they needed to win one out

238
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>of the three. I think they need they need this

239
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:53.279
<v Speaker 1>game Tim today.

240
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it does not look like it's like it's

241
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 2>going to happen. Jose Sorana walk three A loved seven hits.

242
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I ain't gonna work in le Bronx two uh uh?

243
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.879
<v Speaker 2>And Ben Rice with two RB eyes, he's just just

244
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:15.279
<v Speaker 2>hugging along. What's he up to? Now? Eighty two? He's

245
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 2>going to get to one hundred RBIs that's a throw

246
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.399
<v Speaker 2>goes home run totals. It's he's carrying the Yankees, isn't he.

247
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.759
<v Speaker 1>I think he's the best offensive player on that team.

248
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not even sure it's close. I mean that what's

249
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 1>going to happen with Judge comes back and needs to

250
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.240
<v Speaker 1>play thh And what's going to happen when when gian

251
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Carlos Stanton comes back? I mean I I finally people

252
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 1>are starting to say, what what did the Yankees do here? Yes,

253
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:47.080
<v Speaker 1>the guy they got from Washington is a good player,

254
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's been a good offensive uh leuis Garcia Junior.

255
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.679
<v Speaker 1>But they got too many of those kind of players.

256
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:55.559
<v Speaker 1>And Elliott Ramos has been a zero since they picked

257
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>him up.

258
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Lombard Junior and Joan they're playing well well combined

259
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:06.600
<v Speaker 2>today they're what four for five, four runs scored an

260
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>RBI from Jones and I think it's a stolen all

261
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:14.039
<v Speaker 2>he got caught stealing. But no, the two kids hitting

262
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.360
<v Speaker 2>down you know, six seven, six, seven, eight in that

263
00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.320
<v Speaker 2>area of the lineup. They've been getting it done. They've

264
00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 2>been playing very very well. So but you know, you

265
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.039
<v Speaker 2>look at the Yankees. You talk about Stanton, Well, Stanton

266
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 2>is out with a calf injury and rehaving that calf injury,

267
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 2>he injured his other calf, so he's totally capped, totally calfed.

268
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:38.679
<v Speaker 2>It's it's done. Okay, we won't see Stanton, I don't

269
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.159
<v Speaker 2>think this year. Not with a new calf injury on

270
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.600
<v Speaker 2>top of the first one. He's still rehabing. Yeah, it's yeah,

271
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.399
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna pay him and he might not. He might

272
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.039
<v Speaker 2>never play another game in New York.

273
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Spencer Jones, Yeah, I can't wait to see where you

274
00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 1>have him ranked coming into next season. I tapped out.

275
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:03.559
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand. I think there's twenty twenty type of upside,

276
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe even twenty five, twenty five, twenty five. But he's

277
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:08.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit two ten. Yeah, he's gonna have a three

278
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.039
<v Speaker 1>hundred one base percentage. That's the guy is.

279
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to deal with that asset slash liability and find

280
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:22.159
<v Speaker 2>someplace to fit him in where you know he's he's

281
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.840
<v Speaker 2>the type of player. Knowingly you cannot. You can't pair

282
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:32.679
<v Speaker 2>him with another high slug low batting average type player

283
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.279
<v Speaker 2>and make it work. You know, then you're looking at

284
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>two thirteenths of your two fourteens of your offense is

285
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:44.159
<v Speaker 2>going to be a drag on your batting average. That

286
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 2>means you're gonna have to sacrifice somewhere else. He's not.

287
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.039
<v Speaker 2>He's going to be a hard player to draft and

288
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.240
<v Speaker 2>construct a team around, that's going to be functional in

289
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:59.480
<v Speaker 2>all five offensive categories. It's you're gonna have your hands full.

290
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>And if he gets a little unlucky to him and

291
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>he hits one eighty with a two seventy on base percentage,

292
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.039
<v Speaker 1>you know it's gotta be tough. Like I don't know

293
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.559
<v Speaker 1>how Jacob Marcy is still being allowed to play, but

294
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>he is. The Miami Marlins are not the New York Yankees.

295
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think he'll play if he's got that gun,

296
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's totally within the rama possibility, that's who he

297
00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 1>could be next.

298
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, and you fit that all into the fact

299
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 2>that the Yankees have forty h types. Yeah, yeah, it's.

300
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, he is pretty athletics, so he can't play at

301
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.519
<v Speaker 1>least in the UH in the outfield, but I don't know.

302
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you've got him, man, because I I he's

303
00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:41.359
<v Speaker 1>over my head. I don't I don't know what to do.

304
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.759
<v Speaker 2>So it is It's fader for great discussion, though, isn't it.

305
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:48.559
<v Speaker 2>And I guaranteed when we start looking at the oatfield,

306
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 2>we'll probably dedicate a good ten to fifteen minutes to

307
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.759
<v Speaker 2>try and to sort that one out. And said to

308
00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:58.880
<v Speaker 2>rank him, I there's gonna be a lot of thought

309
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 2>involved in that process because I.

310
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Guess the only good news with him is I think

311
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>we know who the player is. At least I've been

312
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.039
<v Speaker 1>saying it for years. He is the player he is.

313
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.480
<v Speaker 1>It's just now, what do you do with him?

314
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Well?

315
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like it's like Luis or Rise. We know

316
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.599
<v Speaker 2>the player he is, what you do with him? Schwarver,

317
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.000
<v Speaker 2>we know the player? You know what I mean? It's uh.

318
00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:25.240
<v Speaker 2>And that's where proper planning and team construction comes to

319
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:29.240
<v Speaker 2>before And I know personally, one of the things that

320
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I really don't like doing is drafting for a deficit somewhere,

321
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 2>especially reasonably early, and then having to scramble later on

322
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:43.480
<v Speaker 2>remembering when you're on a sixty second clock that you

323
00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:46.400
<v Speaker 2>forced yourself into a deficit. So now you've got to

324
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:50.400
<v Speaker 2>compensate for that. And when you're working on short clocks,

325
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:53.359
<v Speaker 2>that becomes that becomes a problem. Or else you get

326
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 2>to the end of the draft and oh, that's interesting.

327
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:59.359
<v Speaker 2>My projected team batting average is two thirty five.

328
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:03.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean that's when you panic and you

329
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 1>signed Lewis a Rise, or you panic and you signed

330
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Chandler Stimpson that those and you get those guys on

331
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>your and you know you've made a mistake. Yeah, you

332
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:12.960
<v Speaker 1>just have.

333
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it's good. Yeah, not good at all.

334
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.079
<v Speaker 1>And it's not to say those those players aren't helpful,

335
00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:22.359
<v Speaker 1>but if you've had to do that, then you're putting

336
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.680
<v Speaker 1>all your eggs in one category basket and one player,

337
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 1>and that's always dangerous because again, Lewis the Rise was

338
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Speaker 1>terrible last season. He didn't hit.

339
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah. If if you got a Rise and

340
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:39.119
<v Speaker 2>you end up with a two sixty five batting average

341
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:42.440
<v Speaker 2>out of them, oops, you get you've now got problems

342
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:44.119
<v Speaker 2>in even more categories.

343
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.599
<v Speaker 1>I watched the Marlins game yesterday against the Nationals, first

344
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:53.279
<v Speaker 1>of the Nationals without would that's that's a tough team,

345
00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:57.079
<v Speaker 1>So I think he's getting close to coming back. And

346
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Cruise, Man, it's he's not happening. Tim, I'm sorry.

347
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I love the guy. I don't know what's happened to him,

348
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:09.160
<v Speaker 1>but it ain't happening. He's not a very good baseball player.

349
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's now, what is it, August twenty third. We

350
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:18.039
<v Speaker 2>got five weeks left in the season, and Dylan Cruz

351
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:23.359
<v Speaker 2>has twenty nine RBIs and a two twelve betting average

352
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:25.640
<v Speaker 2>and he's hitting in the three hole today.

353
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 1>And the thing that's weird, I mean it's a little

354
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>bit like Spencer Jones. I mean he is fast. His

355
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:39.160
<v Speaker 1>average eggs of velocity is ninety point eight. He's got

356
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:42.200
<v Speaker 1>plenty of You've got plenty of omp, He's got plenty

357
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.880
<v Speaker 1>of speed. He can't hit. That was what he was

358
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:46.559
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be able to do with it.

359
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oops, Yeah, it's a problem.

360
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:57.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he just chases everything as Chase rates. Just I

361
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:58.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know what happened there, Tim. I hate it when

362
00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm so wrong. Really bums me out.

363
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:05.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I got a decision to make on him in

364
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 2>one league where there's a cap involved, and I don't

365
00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.960
<v Speaker 2>think I'm keeping Dylan Cruz next year. I just can't

366
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:21.079
<v Speaker 2>forward to tie again because there's a cap. Okay, we're

367
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.160
<v Speaker 2>looking at total salaries, and you're keeping players based on salaries.

368
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've got them at a good price.

369
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.759
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think I can commit even a marginal

370
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.119
<v Speaker 2>plus sort of dollar value to a guy like Cruise

371
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:36.400
<v Speaker 2>heading into next year. I've got to look elsewhere.

372
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Whatever Patreon members brought up kind of on this

373
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.279
<v Speaker 1>topic we're talking about, is should we spend some time

374
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:50.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe on our Friday show talking about guys and keeper

375
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:54.279
<v Speaker 1>leagues and guys and dynasty leagues that maybe have fallen

376
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:58.279
<v Speaker 1>off like a Dylan Cruz and are they worth keeping

377
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:02.319
<v Speaker 1>or you know what, maybe they've been distarted and like

378
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:05.960
<v Speaker 1>should somebody still invest in Dylan Cruise and some of

379
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:09.039
<v Speaker 1>these other Like the same thing with Jacob Marcy's another

380
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:10.559
<v Speaker 1>guy that's going to be in the bubble in a

381
00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of keeper leagues. Like what do you do with him?

382
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? For the most part, I would say, yeah, and

383
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.559
<v Speaker 2>it keep them all sort of format that changes things

384
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>rather drastically. They two of the three keeper leagues I'm

385
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 2>involved with, one of your keeping to a dollar value. Okay,

386
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:32.960
<v Speaker 2>as many as you want, and the other one you're

387
00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.799
<v Speaker 2>keeping fifteen. And again there's salaries involved as well, so

388
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:42.839
<v Speaker 2>that really changes. It changes the way you look at players.

389
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:47.000
<v Speaker 2>It really does. You know, hey, do you keep a

390
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:53.240
<v Speaker 2>cheap Dylan Cruise over a more expensive Safer Pick. There's

391
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:55.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot more variables you have to weigh into it,

392
00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:00.359
<v Speaker 2>but and it keep them all. Yeah, unless you've got

393
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:07.519
<v Speaker 2>something on your twenty five miners, unless you've got on

394
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.400
<v Speaker 2>your seven man reserve. If you've got somebody better than

395
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Dylan Cruise, you've probably got a really good team. But

396
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:14.720
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, I think people will end up

397
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:19.240
<v Speaker 2>keeping players like that hoping to see better moving forward.

398
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:22.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing guys like I'm seeing guys like Dylan Cruz,

399
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:24.759
<v Speaker 1>and leagues I play in which are keep them all

400
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 1>starting to hit the waiver war. I mean, these people

401
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:29.559
<v Speaker 1>are getting sick of them because.

402
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:32.400
<v Speaker 2>You can build better players into the reserve roster than

403
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:35.119
<v Speaker 2>Cruise is proving to be able to deliver.

404
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Right, Remember in this in this game that we play, Timmy,

405
00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you've got seven reserves. You need five pitchers. Probably in

406
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 1>those reserves at least four, but five, maybe six, And

407
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:46.359
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden you got one or two guys

408
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that you can and you can find. If you've got

409
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.279
<v Speaker 1>a strong diningsted League team, you're gonna have a better

410
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>player than Dylan Cruz. If you don't think, you're not

411
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:56.640
<v Speaker 1>in the money. If you got if you're playing Dylan

412
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 1>Cruise every day, you're not in the money. It's gonna

413
00:23:59.039 --> 00:23:59.440
<v Speaker 1>be tough.

414
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I was going to say, Yeah, what you want

415
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:09.880
<v Speaker 2>is guys with multi position eligibility in that format. Yeah,

416
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 2>that's the ideal situation. So it allows you to build

417
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:13.759
<v Speaker 2>on your pitching.

418
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:21.319
<v Speaker 1>The Mets in White Sox or zero zero, Yeah, pitched

419
00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:25.359
<v Speaker 1>pitched well and Nolan mcclaim with another strong start.

420
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah through seven ins, Yeah, one hit, the walk four

421
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:39.160
<v Speaker 2>is yeah, six strikeouts through six and it's a it's

422
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.000
<v Speaker 2>a bullpen sort of to day for the White Sox.

423
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:46.880
<v Speaker 2>But it looks like they they better save an arm

424
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.359
<v Speaker 2>or two in that bullpen because they're looking at they're

425
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 2>on their fourth pitture now. Yeah, it could be a

426
00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:59.400
<v Speaker 2>six pitcher sort of day for the White Sox. McLean

427
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:02.599
<v Speaker 2>they said, or walks or a concern, but they're not

428
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>hitting them.

429
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 1>I just quickly googled what's the status of Onan Soto

430
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's announced that he could Timmy could the word

431
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.960
<v Speaker 1>that begins with a sea could return in September.

432
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so he's day to day with a definite possibility.

433
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, as a player on the team that he doesn't like,

434
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 1>the player on the team he doesn't like. In Francisco Lindor,

435
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.400
<v Speaker 1>the Mets are terrible this season, even though they played

436
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.799
<v Speaker 1>better since the trade deadline. What's the motivation?

437
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there isn't.

438
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:42.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, you know.

439
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.279
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting though, and you got to start of a

440
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.200
<v Speaker 2>chuckle with Kansas City Royals are actually playing pretty good

441
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:49.119
<v Speaker 2>baseball right now.

442
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.079
<v Speaker 1>I know, seven and three to eight or two in

443
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:54.039
<v Speaker 1>the last ten. Yeah, yeah, too little too late. That

444
00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:56.720
<v Speaker 1>was a phrase I was trying to remember last Friday

445
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Twitter show, too little too late. I did use it

446
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:02.799
<v Speaker 1>correctly in the show. I popped into my head when

447
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:05.480
<v Speaker 1>we were doing the show. But it is too little

448
00:26:05.519 --> 00:26:06.759
<v Speaker 1>too late for the Royals.

449
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely. Benny Bees actually been playing well the past

450
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:13.839
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks too, which is nice to see Bobby Bobby,

451
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:17.559
<v Speaker 2>which strole is thirty fifty today, Yep, he's gonna.

452
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah mcgonagall's two more, two more hits and yeah, my

453
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.960
<v Speaker 1>buddy Max Clark won for two Betty two fifty six,

454
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.440
<v Speaker 1>so he's he has calmed down a little bit. He's

455
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.480
<v Speaker 1>not hitting for any power. Uh, it's only got one

456
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean. And the weird thing is he hasn't sold

457
00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.359
<v Speaker 1>on a base yet, so he's just pretty much been

458
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:35.119
<v Speaker 1>a single hitter.

459
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Mmmm. And the Tigers could not afford to lose today

460
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:44.160
<v Speaker 2>to the Royals. Not good for the Tigers chances at all.

461
00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:47.000
<v Speaker 2>They've you got to win games against the Royals, you

462
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:50.920
<v Speaker 2>really do. And I know they've been hot, but you

463
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:54.599
<v Speaker 2>still you've got to win those games. Uh.

464
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:58.319
<v Speaker 1>The Astros my buddy to hit a home run, which

465
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:04.920
<v Speaker 1>is good. Yeah, Parade's with a home run. Christian Havier

466
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:06.799
<v Speaker 1>pitch well and then started to get beat up. Eight

467
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 1>strikeouts and he's not going to get a decision because

468
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it's for innings pitch. So that's a bummer if you

469
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:16.400
<v Speaker 1>started him. And I'm God help me, Timmy. I for

470
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Andy Payis. I'm putting in Lawrence Butler. That's that's what

471
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:21.119
<v Speaker 1>it's gotten.

472
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:25.039
<v Speaker 2>That's that's where we're at. OK.

473
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 1>So he's a little bit better over the last couple

474
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:31.079
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. I'm sure he's due for a cold spell again.

475
00:27:31.160 --> 00:27:32.640
<v Speaker 1>But that's that's where I'm at.

476
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, And you know what, every time you turn around,

477
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:39.559
<v Speaker 2>there's a different a finding his way to the aisle.

478
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Was Jacob Wilson, Jacob will Jacob Wilson this week, and yeah,

479
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:46.319
<v Speaker 2>you look at the lineup. You got, you know, Bold

480
00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 2>as your leadoff guy, Cortes, gell Off Butler, Tommy White's

481
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>moved into the fifth but the other Max Muncie Walton,

482
00:27:55.799 --> 00:28:01.160
<v Speaker 2>her Nez servant. Yeah, that team is a shadow of

483
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.680
<v Speaker 2>what it was heading into the twenty sixth season.

484
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:08.119
<v Speaker 1>It's Nick nick Kirki los Nick Kirtchief. You've lost your

485
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Judge by the way, Lawrence Butler just with a double.

486
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:15.599
<v Speaker 1>He needs to hold that for next week. That's when

487
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I needed to.

488
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, wait till next week, Lawrence.

489
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Yep, Rangers up three nothing over the hapless Angels. Tim's

490
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:28.599
<v Speaker 1>trying to rewrite history a little bit and his closer

491
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:32.680
<v Speaker 1>report saying that Natari is Sammy Natari's on the I

492
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>L that was his guy. I just want to clear

493
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the record here, Timmy ben Joyce got the job before

494
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Natari went on the I L just f y.

495
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:47.000
<v Speaker 2>I I'm still better. I'm still I wasn't sure, so

496
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:56.599
<v Speaker 2>for quite a while, my friend, you're not buying that

497
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:01.640
<v Speaker 2>bullshit because absolutely know what's happened there. Yeah, the meter

498
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:03.880
<v Speaker 2>is bouncing off the right side of the dial. Right

499
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:05.680
<v Speaker 2>a boat now right, I'm.

500
00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Reading that, shaking my head going, oh, that's creative writing that, that's.

501
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Finest, thank you, thank you.

502
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.599
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what's happened here. How's our buddy? Uh? White

503
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:21.240
<v Speaker 1>lank for nothing today? So he's been okay though, look

504
00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:26.759
<v Speaker 1>at Kyle Quantrell's six h six strikeouts.

505
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, hey, roll with him and until you can't no more.

506
00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:36.519
<v Speaker 2>You're a guy who's disappointed me. Recently. He seems to

507
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:41.720
<v Speaker 2>have hit a little bit of a wall, is mister Bennett. Yeah,

508
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.079
<v Speaker 2>for the for the Red Sox, he's the arras up

509
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.440
<v Speaker 2>to three sixty six, But it just seems like he's

510
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:53.279
<v Speaker 2>he's still he's okay, but he's hit a wall. Yeah,

511
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:55.680
<v Speaker 2>he's got him gonna.

512
00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Play better against the against the Giants.

513
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 2>You just do yeah and tug tug boat.

514
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, here's your buddy.

515
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:07.000
<v Speaker 1>He will be reappearing. He'll be appearing on Tim's waiver

516
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:07.720
<v Speaker 1>war of course.

517
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

518
00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.680
<v Speaker 1>And then the final game that's got a score is

519
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:18.839
<v Speaker 1>the Guardians up five to nothing. Uh, Foster Griffin looks

520
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:20.640
<v Speaker 1>like he's in line for the win if he can

521
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:23.400
<v Speaker 1>just stay the course. It's only one any but against

522
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.519
<v Speaker 1>the Rockies, Tim.

523
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I've heard a lot of a lot

524
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:33.400
<v Speaker 2>of chatter about Sagana again, you know, having having a

525
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:39.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty good year in Colorado. Yeah, yeah, and the past

526
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:43.039
<v Speaker 2>few outings he's regressed a little bit. Today two innings pitched,

527
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:47.039
<v Speaker 2>eight hits, five earned runs. Uh, the area is now

528
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:51.359
<v Speaker 2>up to five. So yeah, but.

529
00:30:51.319 --> 00:30:53.279
<v Speaker 1>In all respect, that's actually pretty good.

530
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

531
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not a total disaster in colrad I don't know.

532
00:30:58.359 --> 00:31:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I just got my fingers crossed that Griffin gets through,

533
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:02.759
<v Speaker 2>gets through five innings.

534
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.559
<v Speaker 3>Need them, Yeah, I need it.

535
00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I need them badly too. Am going in every league

536
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:13.000
<v Speaker 2>I think today, So yeah, I need I need a

537
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:16.440
<v Speaker 2>good effort from from Griffin. Oh you're athletics. You got

538
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:19.480
<v Speaker 2>a run scored a butler because they just scored four

539
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:20.839
<v Speaker 2>runs against double.

540
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:25.759
<v Speaker 1>They got a double. This is how bad the Athletics

541
00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 1>have been. They are one game worse than the Colorado Rockies.

542
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:33.000
<v Speaker 2>That's bad.

543
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they got eighty losses and the Colorado Rockies are

544
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:39.680
<v Speaker 1>seventy nine. So what have we got thirty five games left.

545
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:42.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a good shot that one or both of them

546
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>are going to get to one hundred losses.

547
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I would think, so. Yeah, but hopefully it works out

548
00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:50.960
<v Speaker 2>for you and you can say the Butler did it.

549
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:54.319
<v Speaker 1>I hope it does to me to take a break

550
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:56.200
<v Speaker 1>it back and let's take a look at your waiver wire.

551
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:58.240
<v Speaker 1>My friend, I actually got a couple of questions before

552
00:31:58.279 --> 00:31:58.720
<v Speaker 1>we do that.

553
00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I'm kidding.

554
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Tim and I were talking about the Arizona Fall League.

555
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I know Tim's still off trying to figure out what

556
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:17.880
<v Speaker 1>he's going to do. I think I will be partaking

557
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>in the Arizona Fall League this season, so I'll be there.

558
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:24.599
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when I'm going to go. Laurie is

559
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:27.359
<v Speaker 1>off with a friend of hers for a week. I

560
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.799
<v Speaker 1>think they're going on some girls getaway things. So I

561
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:34.279
<v Speaker 1>got the dogs and stuff like that, so that takes

562
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:36.839
<v Speaker 1>I think that's opening weeks. So I was a real

563
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 1>bummer on that. So I have to figure out when

564
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go there. But I haven't. I have

565
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:42.720
<v Speaker 1>not done that yet, but something I'll take a look at.

566
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm probably looking at the first week in November

567
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:49.160
<v Speaker 2>when they have the all Star the All Star weekend.

568
00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:52.559
<v Speaker 2>That because after the first couple of weeks, I don't

569
00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:56.400
<v Speaker 2>think it really makes that much difference. If there's injuries

570
00:32:56.599 --> 00:33:00.160
<v Speaker 2>or players have basically played themselves out, they're gone the

571
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:04.240
<v Speaker 2>first two weeks anyways, So once you get into week three,

572
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:08.920
<v Speaker 2>there's not unless there's an injury, there isn't that much change.

573
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't think.

574
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:12.599
<v Speaker 3>Maybe it's a double edged sword.

575
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:16.160
<v Speaker 1>The first week is the best week, right, because that's right,

576
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:19.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody's fresh, it's exciting, et cetera, et cetera, and you're

577
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.240
<v Speaker 1>going to get maybe players are going to play a

578
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:25.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks. The downside is it's it's really hot.

579
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 3>It's really hot.

580
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:33.920
<v Speaker 2>M hm. My thermostat, my personal thermostat is not like

581
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:37.200
<v Speaker 2>really hot anymore. Rich not that it ever did, but

582
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just can't do it anymore.

583
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:44.519
<v Speaker 1>The first week in October, I've been there a lot.

584
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's and then I usually go, it's hot.

585
00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're talking one hundred and five hundred and

586
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:53.279
<v Speaker 1>eight degrees and half the games are in the afternoon,

587
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and Temmy, you just you're just there miserable. I mean,

588
00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:57.880
<v Speaker 1>at least I am.

589
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:02.400
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, I I just can't do it. It's

590
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:07.400
<v Speaker 2>not negotiable. The solars, my Canadian thick like boutine blood

591
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:12.679
<v Speaker 2>does not adapt well to do anything over about eighty

592
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:15.480
<v Speaker 2>five degrees. Let it let alone a hundred.

593
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:19.679
<v Speaker 1>N Yeah, for sure. As we talked about, not have

594
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:23.760
<v Speaker 1>your bias, Josh bias. Anything else to comment on his

595
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:26.639
<v Speaker 1>start here and again another over three day to day.

596
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:31.000
<v Speaker 2>No, I hey, he's gonna hit. He's gonna hit some

597
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.480
<v Speaker 2>home runs, and he's gonna hit have some overs. Man,

598
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:38.679
<v Speaker 2>that's just the way it's going to be. Take what

599
00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:40.920
<v Speaker 2>you take, what you take, what you get, and be happy.

600
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:46.599
<v Speaker 1>Kate Anderson look great, I thought, he looked. At the

601
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:49.880
<v Speaker 1>first five plus innings, he looked. He just gave up

602
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:52.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple of home runs and fell apart in the

603
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:54.719
<v Speaker 1>sixth inning. He'd only thrown eighty one pitches when they

604
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:57.639
<v Speaker 1>took him out. I haven't gone back and watched the game.

605
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I did not watch it as it was occurring, but

606
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he pitched well.

607
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:04.480
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's yeah.

608
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I think he's going to have some really good outings

609
00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:07.719
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of the year.

610
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:12.079
<v Speaker 2>I agree, And at the same point in time, I

611
00:35:12.079 --> 00:35:14.599
<v Speaker 2>think we also have to remember this is his first

612
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:17.719
<v Speaker 2>visit visit to the big leagues, and it's not double A,

613
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:20.360
<v Speaker 2>it's not triple A. It's one step beyond that. So

614
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:25.440
<v Speaker 2>they're we we've we've seen the best pitchers in the

615
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:31.719
<v Speaker 2>game struggle. Kate Anderson is not going to be He's

616
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:34.880
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be days. It's all or is true.

617
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:38.039
<v Speaker 2>He's still learning his craft, but I'm glad he's learning

618
00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:41.360
<v Speaker 2>it at a level where he's going to be facing challenges,

619
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:46.039
<v Speaker 2>per say, as compared to in the high minors, where

620
00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:48.000
<v Speaker 2>he just proved there wasn't any anymore.

621
00:35:48.320 --> 00:35:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yes, now, just just our Patreon members know this

622
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:58.559
<v Speaker 1>because I've written about Kate Anderson probably as much about

623
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:01.960
<v Speaker 1>any other player, just because every game he pitched was

624
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:05.400
<v Speaker 1>was phenomenal. This is not this is not a big arm.

625
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:07.760
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy who throws ninety three ninety four

626
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:09.760
<v Speaker 1>miles an hour, and that's that's what he did on

627
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:12.440
<v Speaker 1>his first dounage of ninety three point six that he averaged.

628
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:18.559
<v Speaker 1>He's got a great slider, and but it's he's not

629
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:21.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna blow guys away. So if he has any in

630
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:25.719
<v Speaker 1>his fastball is not great. It's just not velocity great.

631
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:27.199
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have a lot of high spin on it,

632
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:29.679
<v Speaker 1>so it doesn't stay high in the zone. So I

633
00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:32.880
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's I still maintain he's not going to

634
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:34.239
<v Speaker 1>be an ace. He's going to be a really good

635
00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.519
<v Speaker 1>number three starter. That's just me, But I think he's

636
00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:39.079
<v Speaker 1>going to be one of those guys that has a

637
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Max Freed kind of career that he just goes out

638
00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:45.760
<v Speaker 1>there and gives you a great outing. Max Freed's probably

639
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:48.519
<v Speaker 1>a two now, so maybe that's what Kate Anderson can

640
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:52.079
<v Speaker 1>turn into. But this is not. This isn't a Jacob

641
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Miseerowski kind of level, or back in the day, Paul

642
00:36:55.280 --> 00:36:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Skeene's kind of This is not the same kind of player.

643
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Which is why of yours coating the stat line, don't

644
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:05.119
<v Speaker 2>forget about Ryan's sloan right exactly.

645
00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:08.440
<v Speaker 1>That's why I still have Ryan Slow high slowan higher

646
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:11.239
<v Speaker 1>than Kate Anderson in that system. It call me crazy,

647
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:14.719
<v Speaker 1>but to me, if Kate Anderson has any kind of

648
00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:17.880
<v Speaker 1>control problems or any kind of command problems, can't throw

649
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:21.719
<v Speaker 1>that can't locate as fastball or as pitches, it's going

650
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:25.239
<v Speaker 1>to get hit. Jacob is Rowski's not going to get

651
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:27.599
<v Speaker 1>hit right because he's still it's still ninety nine miles

652
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:31.079
<v Speaker 1>an hour, right, and you can make those mistakes.

653
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you can't make them, which again is something we've

654
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:37.480
<v Speaker 2>talked about over years and is my love of the

655
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:41.840
<v Speaker 2>soft tosting saucing lefty. Well, that only works, okay when

656
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:45.000
<v Speaker 2>you're hitting the corners cont that's right. Yeah, Well, when

657
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:48.280
<v Speaker 2>you're coming in with an eighty nine mile an hour basketball,

658
00:37:49.199 --> 00:37:51.119
<v Speaker 2>it'd better not be anywhere near the heart of the

659
00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:53.679
<v Speaker 2>plate because if it is, it'll be in the heart

660
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:56.440
<v Speaker 2>of the bleachers. You don't have there's no margin for

661
00:37:56.679 --> 00:38:00.159
<v Speaker 2>error as the velocity decreases or that margin of or

662
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:04.639
<v Speaker 2>shrinks rather rapidly. And if you can, like like MISERASKI

663
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:07.440
<v Speaker 2>if you hey, if you can fire it in at

664
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:10.239
<v Speaker 2>one hundred hundred and two miles an hour, well, yeah,

665
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:12.320
<v Speaker 2>the breaking stuff that isn't working. But they're not going

666
00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.960
<v Speaker 2>to hit that fastball anyway, that's right.

667
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And then and then most guys are going to

668
00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:19.039
<v Speaker 1>be cheating on the fastball, and that's when they're gonna

669
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:21.840
<v Speaker 1>get beat by just an average curveball because you're gonna

670
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:23.760
<v Speaker 1>be chea You're already starting your swing and it's like, oh,

671
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:25.960
<v Speaker 1>here comes a curveball, and you know you're dead. You

672
00:38:25.960 --> 00:38:28.840
<v Speaker 1>know it's it's Sunny Gray is a kind of a

673
00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:31.679
<v Speaker 1>comparable and even though from the right side. Another guy

674
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:33.239
<v Speaker 1>that does he do a little bit harder in his

675
00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:36.920
<v Speaker 1>early early days. That's another guy that's not a ninety

676
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:40.039
<v Speaker 1>three mile hour guy that's got can really pitch and

677
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:42.840
<v Speaker 1>sequence as well. It's got really good secondary and he's

678
00:38:42.840 --> 00:38:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a great pitcher. I think that's who Kate Anderson's going

679
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to be. But this not a guy that I would

680
00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:50.559
<v Speaker 1>if I had a Dynasty leaguer keeper, I wouldn't be

681
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:53.360
<v Speaker 1>saying Ace. I would be saying a really good Max

682
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Freed slash Sunny Gray type of pitcher.

683
00:38:58.000 --> 00:38:59.840
<v Speaker 2>And that's a good that's a good player who can

684
00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:04.079
<v Speaker 2>have it's very long, long, successful career. Yeah, just not

685
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:08.920
<v Speaker 2>that final notch up with the ladder. And yeah, it's

686
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:12.599
<v Speaker 2>pretty tough to It's pretty tough unless you you've got

687
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:16.760
<v Speaker 2>a full repertoire that will is still fear in the

688
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.639
<v Speaker 2>heart of man. And I don't think it's fastball does.

689
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:24.239
<v Speaker 1>When I took him mind instead of Kate Anderson in

690
00:39:24.239 --> 00:39:29.559
<v Speaker 1>my Dynasty link uh first year player draft. I I

691
00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:31.960
<v Speaker 1>wish I could go back and change that, but I

692
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:34.960
<v Speaker 1>can't so, uh but I, I mean, I I wish

693
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.039
<v Speaker 1>I'd had Kate Kate Anderson at least one leak. I

694
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:40.239
<v Speaker 1>just don't. I just don't. And that's the way it goes.

695
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:44.559
<v Speaker 2>And you won't get him now unless you're ridiculous.

696
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm just gonna let it go because look, he's

697
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:51.760
<v Speaker 1>particularly now. Everybody thinks he's going to be a cy

698
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Young Award winner, and maybe he will be, but I

699
00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:58.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's ceased to it's it's hard to trade

700
00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:02.199
<v Speaker 1>for Max freed Max Freedo. It's a tough guy to get.

701
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I tried trading for Max Clerk right now. What's

702
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:06.840
<v Speaker 2>it gonna cost you?

703
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Even though he's really not done anything Fantasy wise since

704
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:14.000
<v Speaker 1>he's been called up that the upside is still pretty substantial.

705
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:14.840
<v Speaker 1>I bet you.

706
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:15.320
<v Speaker 3>I tried to.

707
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I tried to trade last week and I tried to

708
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:22.400
<v Speaker 1>trade Josh Bias and I just did I just did not.

709
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:25.639
<v Speaker 1>This was after his first after his first game. I

710
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:28.760
<v Speaker 1>tried to just to see what I could get and

711
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:32.079
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't get anything. Tim No one was buying it.

712
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's because they're all Patroon members and they all

713
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:38.119
<v Speaker 1>read will just trying to sell them. There must be

714
00:40:38.199 --> 00:40:39.159
<v Speaker 1>something going on here.

715
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:42.360
<v Speaker 2>So well, yeah, every time I try and trade a

716
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:46.119
<v Speaker 2>dynasty format, but yeah, I have I have people revisiting

717
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:49.880
<v Speaker 2>podcasts okay for the next two days, okay, And you

718
00:40:49.960 --> 00:40:53.039
<v Speaker 2>know McLeod doesn't like him. We stay away from this guy.

719
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:57.719
<v Speaker 2>And in reality, no, it's McLeod needs helping another category,

720
00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:02.840
<v Speaker 2>you know. And yeah, but you're right though, what we

721
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:07.920
<v Speaker 2>say and do reflects with people in our leagues. It's

722
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:09.000
<v Speaker 2>just the way it is, right.

723
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I struggle in trading in dynasty leagues just because one,

724
00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:17.079
<v Speaker 1>I usually overpay and people know that and then they

725
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:19.679
<v Speaker 1>give me ridiculous trade offers. You know. It's it is

726
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Max Freed for a bag of balls, and it's like,

727
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:24.840
<v Speaker 1>come on, you can gotta give me something. I'm okay

728
00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:26.840
<v Speaker 1>to overpay. I get it. I get why I have

729
00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to do that, even though I'm not maybe not even

730
00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:30.960
<v Speaker 1>doing well in the league. But you got to make

731
00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:34.719
<v Speaker 1>it reasonable. I mean, give me some dignity, and they

732
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:35.199
<v Speaker 1>just don't.

733
00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Man, it's a challenge at times. I agree.

734
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:44.840
<v Speaker 1>George Klassen pitched a gym on Saturday. Tim and Ryan

735
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Johnson, also both for the Angels, also pitched well,

736
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:52.239
<v Speaker 1>he was seven innies, pitch, one hit, zero runs, three

737
00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:55.920
<v Speaker 1>strikeouts and two walks. I know, George Klassen major waiver

738
00:41:55.960 --> 00:42:02.280
<v Speaker 1>war Johnson, No, why not?

739
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Uh. I was focusing on opportunities from a two start

740
00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:16.760
<v Speaker 2>pitching perspective perspective, and I sort of like Classing a

741
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:17.760
<v Speaker 2>little bit more than.

742
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:20.559
<v Speaker 1>John He's got much better arm, that's for sure.

743
00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I you know, I yeah, I I don't know

744
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:31.679
<v Speaker 2>long term what tox. I haven't looked long term as much,

745
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:36.079
<v Speaker 2>but right now I'm giving class in the edge and Johnson,

746
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:39.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not. At this time of the year, we

747
00:42:39.239 --> 00:42:42.760
<v Speaker 2>should be looking if we're taking a chance on pitchers,

748
00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:47.480
<v Speaker 2>unless it's a dynasty where there's you know, a keeper aspect,

749
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:50.480
<v Speaker 2>we should be focused on very very short term. And

750
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I've got them both in the two start pitching real uh.

751
00:42:57.320 --> 00:43:00.079
<v Speaker 2>And one of the problems with both of them is

752
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:04.360
<v Speaker 2>it with Kakuchi coming back today, do they go with

753
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:11.199
<v Speaker 2>a six man rotation? And yeah, that maybe they do.

754
00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it would be wise with the young pitching

755
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.199
<v Speaker 2>that they've got right and Kahucci coming back off of injury,

756
00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:19.239
<v Speaker 2>it'd be smart to go with a six man rotation.

757
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Then both of them Hoole value. But right now we

758
00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:26.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know, so in lieu of that, I think you've

759
00:43:26.440 --> 00:43:30.840
<v Speaker 2>got to be careful with both simply because we don't

760
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:33.440
<v Speaker 2>know one of them. One of them could get shipped out, right.

761
00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Ship What do you mean shipped out?

762
00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

763
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I think that would be Johnson over Classen. But I mean,

764
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.519
<v Speaker 1>who knows what the the the Angels are going to do?

765
00:43:48.199 --> 00:43:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly.

766
00:43:49.559 --> 00:43:52.000
<v Speaker 1>If you were to have asked me on Friday when

767
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:55.840
<v Speaker 1>we did our show, who Craig Keemberrell played for, Tim, Yeah,

768
00:43:55.920 --> 00:43:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I would have been completely guessing. He has been DFA

769
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:03.880
<v Speaker 1>buy multiple teams this season. And I laughed out loud

770
00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:07.840
<v Speaker 1>when he got a safe for the Royals yesterday. I

771
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:11.280
<v Speaker 1>did not know he was playing for the Royals. He's

772
00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:13.079
<v Speaker 1>not on your waiver, he's not on your waiver wire,

773
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:16.400
<v Speaker 1>he's not on your closer report. This is just a

774
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:17.440
<v Speaker 1>RANDO save.

775
00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you if you would have, if you were

776
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:26.320
<v Speaker 2>to ask me, I would have said Samsung or your Muri.

777
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:33.679
<v Speaker 2>I would have guessed it Asia if I didn't. Yeah, Yeah,

778
00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:35.599
<v Speaker 2>I happened to fall closers.

779
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:39.559
<v Speaker 1>Honestly sounded like they sounded like food. Tim, you said that,

780
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was some kind of uh, some kind

781
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:44.679
<v Speaker 1>of sushi roll or something.

782
00:44:45.639 --> 00:44:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Team Korea and a team in Japan. That would have

783
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:52.239
<v Speaker 2>been my random guess. But no, he's still kicking around

784
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:55.719
<v Speaker 2>and he's still doing that seagull imitation or whatever he

785
00:44:55.800 --> 00:45:00.400
<v Speaker 2>does before he before he throws, and yeah he Yeah,

786
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:01.039
<v Speaker 2>good for him.

787
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:04.599
<v Speaker 1>But it's it's random, right, You're you're not gonna, You're

788
00:45:04.599 --> 00:45:04.920
<v Speaker 1>not gonna.

789
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:10.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not no, I'm not suggesting anybody go. And now,

790
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:12.960
<v Speaker 2>hey we see what happens this week. If he gets

791
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:15.559
<v Speaker 2>a couple more, well yeah that might change things, but

792
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:17.199
<v Speaker 2>right now, very random.

793
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:19.599
<v Speaker 1>Ye all right to me, it's taking another break. And

794
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.239
<v Speaker 1>then we get to your waiver wire and I really

795
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:24.280
<v Speaker 1>christ interesting that Christian.

796
00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:34.480
<v Speaker 5>Moore, m h, I know it's a struggle for you

797
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:34.920
<v Speaker 5>this week.

798
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:36.239
<v Speaker 3>Why don't you tell us a little.

799
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Bit about what it was like going through and creating

800
00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:41.199
<v Speaker 1>the waiver, which I know is a struggle every time

801
00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:42.880
<v Speaker 1>this time of the year.

802
00:45:43.440 --> 00:45:47.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's it's a total struggle. It really is. You're

803
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you're looking for players that that aren't there, and especially

804
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:56.119
<v Speaker 2>this year, and I think moving forward you will probably

805
00:45:56.199 --> 00:46:02.079
<v Speaker 2>tend to get worse as compared to that or the

806
00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:05.440
<v Speaker 2>call ups It's pretty much done, isn't it. You know,

807
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:10.599
<v Speaker 2>you're not getting every most everybody that that will be.

808
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:13.440
<v Speaker 1>We still got September. We still got September calls. I mean,

809
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Condon is still not appearance.

810
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Right, but I he's been mentioned, yes, yeah, so again

811
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:28.679
<v Speaker 2>looking at it from my point of view, pretty much everybody,

812
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:33.840
<v Speaker 2>unless somebody does something totally off the wall, like the

813
00:46:33.880 --> 00:46:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Brewers call up my day that would be cool. Were

814
00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:42.280
<v Speaker 2>the odds of it happening probably not all that great.

815
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Or that's that's almost zero per.

816
00:46:46.159 --> 00:46:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Wall caught in Texas. You know what I mean, Everything

817
00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:51.199
<v Speaker 2>that could happen now that has the potential to be

818
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:53.360
<v Speaker 2>an impact has pretty well happened, hasn't it.

819
00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm?

820
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Unless you know of somebody that you think might get

821
00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:01.960
<v Speaker 2>called up, that is getting called up for more than

822
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:03.840
<v Speaker 2>just a look sie sort of thing, you know what

823
00:47:03.880 --> 00:47:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we'll play you every fourth game and you

824
00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:10.440
<v Speaker 2>it's it's your it's our due diligence to give you

825
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:12.880
<v Speaker 2>a reward for a great season, that sort of thing.

826
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:16.679
<v Speaker 2>Are there any players that you think that still could

827
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:21.079
<v Speaker 2>get called up? There could be substantial contributors.

828
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I have a couple of thoughts substantial contributors that that

829
00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't say. I I think Charlie Condon would get

830
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:36.119
<v Speaker 1>called up for a look. See, I am disappointed in

831
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:37.079
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers.

832
00:47:37.119 --> 00:47:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Now, yes, I was going to bring that up.

833
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:43.639
<v Speaker 1>You can sit there and say, how can you possibly?

834
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:45.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean that the best team in baseball, back to

835
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:49.360
<v Speaker 1>back World series, they always make the right call, you know.

836
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:54.559
<v Speaker 1>And but with pause going down, they're turning it over

837
00:47:54.599 --> 00:47:56.000
<v Speaker 1>to Alec Thomas.

838
00:47:56.440 --> 00:47:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they've got six oatfielders sitting there chomping at the

839
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:01.320
<v Speaker 2>looking for playing time.

840
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I mean, and I just wrote up James Tibbs

841
00:48:04.000 --> 00:48:07.239
<v Speaker 1>either for this weekends. Uh, those Monday's daily notes are

842
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:09.800
<v Speaker 1>hot prospects of the week. Yet another great week is

843
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:13.480
<v Speaker 1>up to twenty seven or twenty nine home runs, hitting

844
00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.920
<v Speaker 1>three to zero something. I mean, I know what this

845
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:17.840
<v Speaker 1>poor guy's got to do.

846
00:48:18.119 --> 00:48:22.199
<v Speaker 2>And maybe they'll go Hope House, Hope doing well.

847
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Hopes and uh, Hopes was traded in Detroit. He hasn't

848
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:31.280
<v Speaker 1>played well, by the way since since its move. So yeah,

849
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:34.039
<v Speaker 1>so's it's been of a struggle. But I get it.

850
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean part of the problem is Alec Thomas is

851
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:41.079
<v Speaker 1>a great center fielder and and James Tibbs, the third

852
00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:43.880
<v Speaker 1>is not a center fielder, so who goes in there

853
00:48:43.960 --> 00:48:48.079
<v Speaker 1>and airparks not a great center fielder. So the promise

854
00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:49.800
<v Speaker 1>they were a little light on centerfen So I'm sure

855
00:48:49.800 --> 00:48:52.400
<v Speaker 1>that's what they would come back and say, Look, we

856
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.840
<v Speaker 1>got to have We're not like the Yankees where we're

857
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:57.400
<v Speaker 1>going to put a d h at every position. We're

858
00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:00.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna and hope for the best st bringing up to

859
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the songs. I guess I get. It's just a this

860
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:06.000
<v Speaker 1>is a bit of a bummer that. Yeah, these guys

861
00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:08.760
<v Speaker 1>like TIBs and Air and Zach Error just they're not

862
00:49:08.800 --> 00:49:10.719
<v Speaker 1>going to see the big leagues, which bums me out.

863
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, And I thought the same thing when

864
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:19.119
<v Speaker 2>I saw Alex Thomas. But then I remembered the defense,

865
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:23.079
<v Speaker 2>the glove, the out. Yeah, and it fits what the

866
00:49:23.199 --> 00:49:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers need to do, even though as a fantasy player

867
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:32.760
<v Speaker 2>of the game, it doesn't fit our plans at all.

868
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I had him in originally the article and I look

869
00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:38.880
<v Speaker 2>at what he's done. Oh no, we don't count defensive metrics.

870
00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:41.960
<v Speaker 2>So I yanked him simply because it was a name

871
00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:45.880
<v Speaker 2>that I didn't believe was going to contribute to our

872
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:50.159
<v Speaker 2>fantasy teams, and that's what we're all a boat still right, yeah,

873
00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:51.880
<v Speaker 2>looking at but the game our game.

874
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:55.440
<v Speaker 1>So I wrote about the situation at some points coming

875
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:57.039
<v Speaker 1>out in the next two days. I can't remember again

876
00:49:57.079 --> 00:50:00.920
<v Speaker 1>which article I put it in. I mean, Alec Thomas

877
00:50:00.960 --> 00:50:07.360
<v Speaker 1>is a zero offensively and how good are the Dodgers offensively?

878
00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Really if you think about it, I mean, obviously Otani's world,

879
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Max Munsey is Max Munsey their best, second best offensive player.

880
00:50:16.960 --> 00:50:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, Tucker actually showed some signs of life, and yeah

881
00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:30.280
<v Speaker 2>they Mookie bets in in spurts and who else do

882
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:32.400
<v Speaker 2>we have to look at on that rock s Freeman

883
00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:37.280
<v Speaker 2>and Edmund and.

884
00:50:37.199 --> 00:50:39.840
<v Speaker 1>These are guys that are quite frankly we talked about

885
00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:43.440
<v Speaker 1>this mid season. These are guys past their prime. And

886
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know. Losing payoffs is a big

887
00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:50.079
<v Speaker 1>problem I think for them. Hopefully it comes back for

888
00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. But getting another offensive player like a TIBs

889
00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the third might at least as a bench bet, might

890
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:01.159
<v Speaker 1>might have been a smart movie. But what do I know?

891
00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, and he's still have time to adjust for it.

892
00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:05.800
<v Speaker 2>But can I give.

893
00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:07.599
<v Speaker 1>You another player? Can I get it? Give you another player?

894
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Sure?

895
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I think there should be an investigation as to Ralphie.

896
00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Why Ralphie Velaskaz is not Yeah, first first base and

897
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:20.679
<v Speaker 1>with the Cleveland Guardians. Uh again I wrote about it.

898
00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:22.559
<v Speaker 1>I think he makes my hot prospects of the week.

899
00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I forgot who's playing first base? Oh, they brought They

900
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.239
<v Speaker 1>brought a Nathaniel Lowe. You mean to tell me that

901
00:51:28.360 --> 00:51:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Ralphie Velaskaz can't give you more production than Nathaniel low

902
00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:36.519
<v Speaker 1>who's been okay in spurts. But really I don't understand that.

903
00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I that's money. More would be that I would

904
00:51:41.880 --> 00:51:43.000
<v Speaker 2>think coming out of Cleveland.

905
00:51:44.440 --> 00:51:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Another another player is sever King.

906
00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's been on fire.

907
00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:53.280
<v Speaker 1>The five more home runs this week. He's gonna make

908
00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:55.880
<v Speaker 1>my hot He's made my hot prospects of the week again.

909
00:51:56.679 --> 00:51:57.159
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

910
00:51:57.239 --> 00:52:00.920
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if they've moved C J Abrams

911
00:52:01.000 --> 00:52:03.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe C the CEA Trews hit the I I think

912
00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:05.519
<v Speaker 1>they're supposed to move to a second base. I don't

913
00:52:05.559 --> 00:52:07.719
<v Speaker 1>know what's happening with that whole drama, but they got

914
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to get sever King up. I mean, they need to

915
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:13.880
<v Speaker 1>let him spend a month up with the club, keep

916
00:52:13.920 --> 00:52:17.519
<v Speaker 1>his service time down. Blah blah blah blah blah, it's time, right.

917
00:52:18.320 --> 00:52:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, I mentioned him a couple of weeks ago

918
00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:23.760
<v Speaker 2>when they made the move originally to get Abrams, you know,

919
00:52:23.880 --> 00:52:27.599
<v Speaker 2>off a short stop. Yeah, but then again, everybody is

920
00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:32.519
<v Speaker 2>everybody is saying in the in the media that no,

921
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:35.039
<v Speaker 2>they're going to keep him down.

922
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:37.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand.

923
00:52:37.559 --> 00:52:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand that.

924
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:41.880
<v Speaker 2>I I don't either, because he's proving that there's nothing

925
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:45.679
<v Speaker 2>left to prove. There's nothing left to prove. Yeah, hey,

926
00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:47.599
<v Speaker 2>why don't they just send him home and you can,

927
00:52:48.039 --> 00:52:50.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, work in the backfields on his d or

928
00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:56.400
<v Speaker 2>whatever and get his golf handycap down. Yeah yeah, not

929
00:52:56.440 --> 00:52:58.960
<v Speaker 2>having him in on the big league roster, do at

930
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:03.719
<v Speaker 2>least get a feel for the that next step would

931
00:53:03.760 --> 00:53:07.480
<v Speaker 2>aid them a great deal. I believe in their twenty

932
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:08.159
<v Speaker 2>seven season.

933
00:53:10.679 --> 00:53:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how the Rays fit this guy into

934
00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:18.840
<v Speaker 1>their lineup. Okay, but Xavier Isaac's got I think he's

935
00:53:18.840 --> 00:53:22.519
<v Speaker 1>got up the thirty home runs. This guy's got massive power.

936
00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:25.719
<v Speaker 1>He's actually cut a strikeouts down a little bit. I

937
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:32.159
<v Speaker 1>mean YONDI Diez is playing DH Okay, yeah, first base,

938
00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:35.840
<v Speaker 1>but Kelly, that guy can provide some pop for them,

939
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:39.920
<v Speaker 1>and they need pop. Well, love to see him come

940
00:53:40.000 --> 00:53:40.800
<v Speaker 1>up in September.

941
00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Can he can he play, even at a low level,

942
00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:48.079
<v Speaker 2>anywhere in the oat field.

943
00:53:48.760 --> 00:53:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's ever done that.

944
00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:53.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, because you look at their oat field and you

945
00:53:53.880 --> 00:54:00.599
<v Speaker 2>got Chandler Simpson, Johnny De Luca, and Cedric Mullens. Yeah, yeah,

946
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:04.719
<v Speaker 2>there's an opportunity in the oakfield. But I mean other

947
00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:06.400
<v Speaker 2>than that, Hey, he's actually a.

948
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Very good He's actually very good. First basement, that's the

949
00:54:08.599 --> 00:54:11.679
<v Speaker 1>problem with now I'm looking through his game. There's no outfield.

950
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know Randa is not Diaz and Aranda

951
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:18.360
<v Speaker 2>aren't going anywhere. That's their one two in their lineup. Yeah.

952
00:54:18.559 --> 00:54:23.159
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, yeah, so this is yeah, yeah, so Xavier

953
00:54:23.320 --> 00:54:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Isaac and double a twenty four home runs, eighteen stolen bases,

954
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:29.920
<v Speaker 1>two fifty six average, a four to one one base percentage,

955
00:54:29.960 --> 00:54:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and a five fifteen slug Go on.

956
00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Come on, tell me, well, come on, they've got Ryan

957
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Bladi's sitting there in our game of Tao and Kenny Piper.

958
00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:43.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, why do they need why do they need? Yeah?

959
00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I know what they would tell me. It's like Wilson

960
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:48.400
<v Speaker 1>defense matters. This isn't fantasy base I get it. But

961
00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:52.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean I got guy's big, strong kid.

962
00:54:52.280 --> 00:54:54.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

963
00:54:54.159 --> 00:54:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Carson Williams, by the way, is he just off? Everybody's

964
00:54:57.159 --> 00:54:59.119
<v Speaker 1>ready to cut hits, so we're done with him?

965
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Of course. Yeah, that's the way. That's the way it rolls,

966
00:55:03.679 --> 00:55:07.000
<v Speaker 2>isn't it. You have a bad season until you resurrect

967
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:08.119
<v Speaker 2>your career.

968
00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, two bad seasons?

969
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah what Yeah? Two twenty four average three twenty yeah,

970
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:23.599
<v Speaker 2>seven or eight with eleven home runs nineteen stolen bases.

971
00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:25.719
<v Speaker 1>It's not striking out a third of the time.

972
00:55:26.320 --> 00:55:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one hundred and twenty nine case to forty seven walks. Yeah,

973
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:31.920
<v Speaker 2>not great.

974
00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's see, I see if I can give you

975
00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:40.840
<v Speaker 1>one more Zach Zach Venus up will probably be demoted

976
00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:44.639
<v Speaker 1>very soon. It's gotta be somebody in Colorado that they

977
00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:47.360
<v Speaker 1>can bring up. Oh. I told Charlie Condon is the

978
00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:48.440
<v Speaker 1>guy that they should bring up.

979
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:54.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah Condon, Yeah, you know what what sort of I

980
00:55:55.480 --> 00:55:57.960
<v Speaker 2>was just looking looking at it, Davey, because I saw

981
00:55:58.079 --> 00:56:03.679
<v Speaker 2>you during the week. I saw Adele Lamigora. Okay, I

982
00:56:04.119 --> 00:56:07.800
<v Speaker 2>took I took a look, okay, and yeah he was

983
00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:11.079
<v Speaker 2>up for well. He played five games in a row

984
00:56:11.320 --> 00:56:15.840
<v Speaker 2>and got a few hits. And in the last seven

985
00:56:15.920 --> 00:56:22.199
<v Speaker 2>days posted a twelve seventy twelve seventy eight ops and

986
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:29.159
<v Speaker 2>the homer six RBIs And then I noticed they demoted

987
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:29.920
<v Speaker 2>him on Friday.

988
00:56:30.440 --> 00:56:32.840
<v Speaker 1>How many home runs did he hit? How many RBIs

989
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:35.519
<v Speaker 1>did he get? Gotta be more than that. That's all

990
00:56:35.559 --> 00:56:40.000
<v Speaker 1>they care about, is is those those nineteen seventy statistics

991
00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:43.079
<v Speaker 1>they read. I think that's all they did. Remember they

992
00:56:43.159 --> 00:56:45.400
<v Speaker 1>tried to hire me for their analytics departments.

993
00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, good call by you, right, good, good goal.

994
00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:57.000
<v Speaker 1>My first meeting would be this is whip. Tomorrow we

995
00:56:57.159 --> 00:56:58.239
<v Speaker 1>will talk about X.

996
00:56:58.239 --> 00:56:58.599
<v Speaker 2>E r A.

997
00:56:59.719 --> 00:57:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how was calculated?

998
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:04.159
<v Speaker 2>And day three you're going to say, WTF means? And

999
00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:06.159
<v Speaker 2>we're not going to use it as much anymore?

1000
00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness? All right, all right to mey, let's

1001
00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:11.119
<v Speaker 1>get to your way, war my friend. Enough of this,

1002
00:57:11.199 --> 00:57:19.159
<v Speaker 1>goof and off t us A Dela Santas our buddy. Yes, yes,

1003
00:57:19.239 --> 00:57:21.480
<v Speaker 1>swipe eighteen bases? Is that true?

1004
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:22.639
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

1005
00:57:23.559 --> 00:57:24.679
<v Speaker 1>How is that possible?

1006
00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:30.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I'm double checking it myself, right, I

1007
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:32.960
<v Speaker 2>sort of ran out the time. I want to make

1008
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:36.159
<v Speaker 2>sure I didn't get Zach Bean's stats in there. Somehow.

1009
00:57:37.800 --> 00:57:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Delas Sandos first base recall from Jacksonville. Yes, yeah, sixteen,

1010
00:57:45.199 --> 00:57:46.800
<v Speaker 2>actually sixteen last year.

1011
00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:49.960
<v Speaker 1>He's not fast.

1012
00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:57.480
<v Speaker 2>No, yeah what Yeah that nineteen would leave him tied

1013
00:57:58.599 --> 00:58:02.159
<v Speaker 2>for the lead league, for the team lead and home

1014
00:58:02.239 --> 00:58:05.800
<v Speaker 2>runs on the Marlins.

1015
00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1016
00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:10.960
<v Speaker 2>No, the next he'd be tied with Hernandez. I believe

1017
00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:16.440
<v Speaker 2>with nineteen. Yeah, there's a team that needs some offense,

1018
00:58:17.360 --> 00:58:21.599
<v Speaker 2>like there is. Is there such a thing as less

1019
00:58:21.639 --> 00:58:24.400
<v Speaker 2>than nothing when it comes to power? If it is,

1020
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:28.559
<v Speaker 2>the Marlins are it. There's just nothing there for power.

1021
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:31.800
<v Speaker 2>You can look at their lineup and you know Stours,

1022
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:35.760
<v Speaker 2>especially with Stowers on the IL. I just hope they

1023
00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:39.880
<v Speaker 2>give the kid a chance to play on a regular basis.

1024
00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:47.079
<v Speaker 2>And again, Miami needs any power they can possibly get

1025
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:49.320
<v Speaker 2>because they have literally none.

1026
00:58:50.480 --> 00:58:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to find a split I think he's a

1027
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:55.760
<v Speaker 1>split guy. If I'm not mistaken, I might be getting

1028
00:58:55.760 --> 00:59:02.039
<v Speaker 1>the bemlick confused with a bemlick. Ortiz, it's the splits.

1029
00:59:02.119 --> 00:59:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Arties is definitely a spot guy.

1030
00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's definitely a split guy. Here they are, there,

1031
00:59:08.440 --> 00:59:11.320
<v Speaker 1>we are. Let's go to twenty twenty six. It's pretty

1032
00:59:11.320 --> 00:59:14.239
<v Speaker 1>good strikeout right, right, I mean yeah, it'sretty aggressive at

1033
00:59:14.239 --> 00:59:16.119
<v Speaker 1>the plate. That's not good. But let's see if we

1034
00:59:16.199 --> 00:59:20.599
<v Speaker 1>got splits. Uh No, I mean he's doing okay, thirteen

1035
00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:25.199
<v Speaker 1>home runs versus right, five against left handed, so there's

1036
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:29.239
<v Speaker 1>definitely more power, yeah, going against the right, but it's

1037
00:59:29.320 --> 00:59:32.159
<v Speaker 1>not they're not really there. I would call them modest

1038
00:59:32.199 --> 00:59:33.239
<v Speaker 1>splits against.

1039
00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Lefties, Okay, not enough that it should make a difference.

1040
00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:39.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he's a bright handed hitter too, so he

1041
00:59:39.199 --> 00:59:42.159
<v Speaker 1>just probably it's probably more comfortable with that. But it's

1042
00:59:42.239 --> 00:59:44.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a good call. If he's been called up, it'd

1043
00:59:44.840 --> 00:59:47.199
<v Speaker 1>beging to see him play, Tommy, I just began to

1044
00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:48.920
<v Speaker 1>see him play. Give him. Give them a chance.

1045
00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:52.199
<v Speaker 2>That's where I'm at, Yeah, give him, give him a chance.

1046
00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:56.599
<v Speaker 2>They don't have anybody they've really other than Kyle Stowers

1047
00:59:56.679 --> 01:00:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and Hernandoz and they don't really they have any power,

1048
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:03.400
<v Speaker 2>and they're gonna have to find them somewhere. I don't

1049
01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:05.480
<v Speaker 2>know how they do it, but they're going to have to.

1050
01:00:05.639 --> 01:00:12.719
<v Speaker 2>You can't. Their offense right now resembles Cleveland Light. Yeah,

1051
01:00:12.840 --> 01:00:14.679
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, it's a problem.

1052
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I agree. Unfortunately, they've got all these flawed

1053
01:00:19.960 --> 01:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Denison de Los adless flawled. I mean, it's

1054
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>they got a lot of flawed players. They just don't

1055
01:00:25.440 --> 01:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>have a complete guy that I think they thought Jacob

1056
01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:31.679
<v Speaker 1>Marcy could be that guy. I erroneously thought maybe he

1057
01:00:31.719 --> 01:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>had turned a corner, and it turned out he had not.

1058
01:00:35.039 --> 01:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>But it's Marcy's flaunt. All these guys kind of come

1059
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>up and they could do some things well, but they

1060
01:00:41.079 --> 01:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>just don't have a complete player.

1061
01:00:43.800 --> 01:00:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Edwards Lopez, Yeah yeah, yeah, in Casey yeah yeah.

1062
01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:52.480
<v Speaker 2>You go through their whole line if you can list

1063
01:00:52.519 --> 01:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>them all.

1064
01:00:53.440 --> 01:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>They all have interesting things about them. Yeah, they do this,

1065
01:00:56.719 --> 01:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>but the probably platoon guys or speed guy, power, power average,

1066
01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:05.639
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's near Yeah.

1067
01:01:05.679 --> 01:01:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Ruiz place for them too, doesn't he Yeah?

1068
01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Uh whenstruise, Yeah, I can't remember now I'm starting because

1069
01:01:15.760 --> 01:01:17.519
<v Speaker 1>he's got like we talked about him, he's got like

1070
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine tony nine stolen bases or something.

1071
01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:22.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Every time I see a stolen base from him

1072
01:01:22.920 --> 01:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>in a box score, I smile and chuckle.

1073
01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he is uh is Miami Marlins. Wow. Okay, let's

1074
01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>get back to George class. And we talked about him

1075
01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. I love the arm here.

1076
01:01:34.920 --> 01:01:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, A big question for me. You know, he's he's

1077
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:41.440
<v Speaker 2>coming off two great oatings, shut out the astros on

1078
01:01:41.440 --> 01:01:44.519
<v Speaker 2>one hit over seven and hopefully a six man rotation

1079
01:01:44.639 --> 01:01:46.199
<v Speaker 2>is part of the plan. And then I would say

1080
01:01:46.239 --> 01:01:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Glasson is a guy he should look at.

1081
01:01:50.039 --> 01:01:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Long term for all you people dynasty leagues. I think

1082
01:01:52.559 --> 01:01:55.519
<v Speaker 1>he's probably works better in the bullpen. He just doesn't

1083
01:01:55.519 --> 01:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>have a great he doesn't have great control, he doesn't

1084
01:01:57.400 --> 01:02:01.119
<v Speaker 1>have a great pitching h like Batters, that's not a

1085
01:02:01.159 --> 01:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>good change up or splitter. But I mean, look, he's

1086
01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:07.559
<v Speaker 1>have a success. If you're going for a title to him,

1087
01:02:07.679 --> 01:02:09.719
<v Speaker 1>this is what you care about, go get them.

1088
01:02:09.840 --> 01:02:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Yep. Yeah, we're down to five six starts, Okay out

1089
01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>of all of these pictures. The odds of yeah, unless

1090
01:02:19.880 --> 01:02:24.119
<v Speaker 2>you're in an incredibly tight race, a blow up right

1091
01:02:24.159 --> 01:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>now is not going to change the overall scope of

1092
01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>things for the most part. But wins and strikeouts, Yeah,

1093
01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:37.440
<v Speaker 2>I've got some leagues. I'm targeting two star pictures. We're

1094
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:39.639
<v Speaker 2>we're going to discuss some of them a little bit

1095
01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:43.519
<v Speaker 2>further on. You can take a few more chances right now.

1096
01:02:45.800 --> 01:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I wrote to our Patreon members about Christian Moore here

1097
01:02:49.199 --> 01:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>at some point in the last few days, and it

1098
01:02:51.480 --> 01:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>was it was good to see him get the call

1099
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and also good to see he see you include him

1100
01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:56.719
<v Speaker 1>on the waiver wire.

1101
01:02:57.639 --> 01:03:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I I think the odds are fairly good.

1102
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:04.599
<v Speaker 2>We're going to see better than what we did the

1103
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>first goal round. You know, there's there's there's some power,

1104
01:03:08.840 --> 01:03:15.880
<v Speaker 2>there's some speed. Uh yeah, hey salt Lake is Yeah.

1105
01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:19.239
<v Speaker 2>It's not a pitcher's park. I don't believe. But ninety

1106
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:21.880
<v Speaker 2>three ops and three and thirty four at bats at

1107
01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Triple A. If you're looking for a middle infielder to

1108
01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:29.519
<v Speaker 2>replace Dansby Swanson or whomever, I'd give him a look.

1109
01:03:29.559 --> 01:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>This way, he's had a very very good season, So

1110
01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:36.159
<v Speaker 1>yes he has. He was again one of the Angels

1111
01:03:36.199 --> 01:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>guys that they picked in the first round, wanted to

1112
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>get in there quickly, if you recall, as soon as

1113
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>he got signed, he made it all the way to

1114
01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:46.480
<v Speaker 1>the Double A. In this first two or three weeks,

1115
01:03:46.480 --> 01:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>it looked great and then you hurt and guess what,

1116
01:03:49.960 --> 01:03:53.119
<v Speaker 1>Timmy's not that good. He's better than what he showed,

1117
01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:54.239
<v Speaker 1>but he's not that good.

1118
01:03:55.519 --> 01:03:59.199
<v Speaker 2>No, he's not somebody here from a dynasty perspective, you're

1119
01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:00.719
<v Speaker 2>gonna want to build your team around.

1120
01:04:01.199 --> 01:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But if he's sitting around in your waiver wire, I'd

1121
01:04:03.480 --> 01:04:05.639
<v Speaker 1>be going and picking them up. I mean, he's definitely, yeah,

1122
01:04:05.639 --> 01:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a rebirth this season. The data looks

1123
01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:13.719
<v Speaker 1>pretty good on him, so agreed, Cal quantrelle I'm I'm

1124
01:04:13.760 --> 01:04:17.679
<v Speaker 1>happy for Cal Quantrell because he went to I couldn't

1125
01:04:17.679 --> 01:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>remember if he signed with the Rockies who got traded.

1126
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:24.559
<v Speaker 1>I just remember feeling bad for him because Quantrell is

1127
01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:28.280
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys that's sneaky good, and particularly those

1128
01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:30.679
<v Speaker 1>drafted whole leagues, which I love to play. I love

1129
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:33.679
<v Speaker 1>getting him in like the forties because nobody thinks he's

1130
01:04:33.719 --> 01:04:36.239
<v Speaker 1>any good and then he puts up decent numbers and

1131
01:04:36.280 --> 01:04:37.679
<v Speaker 1>he's really doing it this season.

1132
01:04:38.599 --> 01:04:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, you know, he's only allowed three earned runs

1133
01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:47.599
<v Speaker 2>the past four starts. Two are quality starts. He's got

1134
01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:50.519
<v Speaker 2>a tough matchup this week against the Brewers. But when

1135
01:04:50.559 --> 01:04:53.559
<v Speaker 2>you're hot, you're hot. He's pitching well today thus far.

1136
01:04:53.880 --> 01:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>So you know, hey, just because he's probably, say Cal Quantrell,

1137
01:05:00.679 --> 01:05:03.480
<v Speaker 2>they can all get hot, and he does occasionally. And

1138
01:05:03.519 --> 01:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>when he does get hot, uh yeah, you gotta you

1139
01:05:07.519 --> 01:05:09.199
<v Speaker 2>gotta take a look at him and get him active.

1140
01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he's a bad picture I mean, he's

1141
01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>he's a guy that's the back of the rotation guy.

1142
01:05:15.039 --> 01:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>But I think he's sneaky good. It just when he

1143
01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:21.239
<v Speaker 1>went to Colorado, it was brutal and yeah, good to

1144
01:05:21.239 --> 01:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>see him out of there with Texas. Now I agree,

1145
01:05:25.159 --> 01:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>let's let's take a quick break and come back and

1146
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:29.039
<v Speaker 1>finish up your list. And I got another name for you.

1147
01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:30.559
<v Speaker 1>I just want your thoughts.

1148
01:05:30.159 --> 01:05:42.320
<v Speaker 6>On Okay, Okay, we were riffing on Saturday.

1149
01:05:42.519 --> 01:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>It's Friday when we were talking about a players and

1150
01:05:45.480 --> 01:05:48.119
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned Brandon Fought, and I did get a chance

1151
01:05:48.159 --> 01:05:50.679
<v Speaker 1>to circle back to you on Drana fut. I don't

1152
01:05:50.719 --> 01:05:55.280
<v Speaker 1>recall him being on your waiver wire recently, but he's

1153
01:05:55.320 --> 01:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>been great.

1154
01:05:57.079 --> 01:05:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1155
01:05:57.440 --> 01:06:00.519
<v Speaker 1>Is this is this the real Brandon fod or is

1156
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>this another tease of Brandon Fought?

1157
01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I really don't. His last outing he

1158
01:06:08.960 --> 01:06:15.679
<v Speaker 2>allowed fiber and runs. Okay, that's the one. There we go. Yeah,

1159
01:06:15.719 --> 01:06:19.559
<v Speaker 2>so I want to see that next outing before. All

1160
01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I know is I picked him up a number of

1161
01:06:21.920 --> 01:06:24.400
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago, and I've had this in a couple of leagues.

1162
01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:28.039
<v Speaker 2>He's actually elevated me in one league to the point

1163
01:06:28.079 --> 01:06:31.639
<v Speaker 2>where I'm in first but okay, a combination of him

1164
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:35.119
<v Speaker 2>and a couple of other pictures that I just basically

1165
01:06:35.639 --> 01:06:38.840
<v Speaker 2>was throwing, throwing it against the barn wall and hoping

1166
01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>it would stick, and yeah it did. So he's been

1167
01:06:45.880 --> 01:06:48.559
<v Speaker 2>huge for me because I've had him throughout this whole run.

1168
01:06:49.239 --> 01:06:51.840
<v Speaker 2>But pending his next outing, he might find his way

1169
01:06:51.880 --> 01:06:53.679
<v Speaker 2>to the waiver wire. As I searched for a two

1170
01:06:53.679 --> 01:06:57.079
<v Speaker 2>to start pitcher, I can't afford to I can't afford

1171
01:06:57.119 --> 01:06:59.599
<v Speaker 2>to wait. I've got to have, you know, I gotta

1172
01:06:59.639 --> 01:07:03.679
<v Speaker 2>have some thing happening now. It's a regraft league. I'll

1173
01:07:03.719 --> 01:07:06.679
<v Speaker 2>worry more about whether it's a real Brandon Fat sometime

1174
01:07:06.800 --> 01:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>in November. I just take what he's given right now

1175
01:07:12.360 --> 01:07:13.199
<v Speaker 2>because it's great.

1176
01:07:13.639 --> 01:07:15.719
<v Speaker 1>It's been very, very, very good and a guy that

1177
01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I almost feel like their careers have been parallel and

1178
01:07:19.519 --> 01:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>parallel bad. I mean, Grayson Brandon Fat was supposed to

1179
01:07:22.960 --> 01:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>be really good coming up through the Arizona pharm system.

1180
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Grayson Rodriguez was supposed to be the Orioles number one starter,

1181
01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:33.239
<v Speaker 1>and both of them, their careers have just either gone

1182
01:07:33.280 --> 01:07:37.599
<v Speaker 1>sideways or just gone nowhere. And Grayson Rodriguez makes your

1183
01:07:37.639 --> 01:07:39.920
<v Speaker 1>list and like three or four years ago that would

1184
01:07:39.920 --> 01:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>have been unheard of, and all of a sudden, now

1185
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>he looks like he's hot. He makes Tim waverar Ten's

1186
01:07:44.880 --> 01:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>wayver warm.

1187
01:07:46.199 --> 01:07:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, he had at a couple under runs

1188
01:07:49.239 --> 01:07:53.360
<v Speaker 2>against the Astros at seven innings six Draicho. It's past

1189
01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:56.760
<v Speaker 2>five votings. He's struck out thirty one twenty seventy eights. Fitch,

1190
01:07:56.800 --> 01:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>he'd loved ten earned runs, and I put a caveat

1191
01:08:01.079 --> 01:08:04.840
<v Speaker 2>it's not quite vintage Rodriguez, but it's definitely a step

1192
01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>in the right direction. And again, if you're searching for

1193
01:08:09.000 --> 01:08:14.039
<v Speaker 2>pitching late in the year, uh yeah, he's pitching well

1194
01:08:14.119 --> 01:08:16.479
<v Speaker 2>right now. Take a look at him.

1195
01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>My buddy, Elmer Rodriguez. I hate the fact that he's

1196
01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:23.159
<v Speaker 1>getting probably going to get a chance because of Ryan Weathers,

1197
01:08:23.199 --> 01:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>but I think he's going to get a chance.

1198
01:08:25.680 --> 01:08:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Right Well, it's it depends on what the what the

1199
01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>what the Yankees do? Because if I'm not mistaken, isn't

1200
01:08:34.680 --> 01:08:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Clerk Schmidt just about ready to roll?

1201
01:08:37.720 --> 01:08:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

1202
01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think he's I think he's getting close. And

1203
01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Max Freed I'm hearing is not going to be on

1204
01:08:47.119 --> 01:08:49.600
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. There could be a spots starting there.

1205
01:08:49.600 --> 01:08:51.880
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to mention him because of the possible

1206
01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:54.199
<v Speaker 2>He's pitched really well down on the bomb.

1207
01:08:54.680 --> 01:08:56.159
<v Speaker 1>I love, you know I love.

1208
01:08:56.159 --> 01:08:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I know you do.

1209
01:08:57.479 --> 01:09:03.439
<v Speaker 1>And I'm looking at Clark Schmidt. I see I don't

1210
01:09:03.439 --> 01:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>see a stout line for him.

1211
01:09:05.800 --> 01:09:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Uh well, not even on rehab.

1212
01:09:10.520 --> 01:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I just I went to fan Grasse. I typed in

1213
01:09:12.920 --> 01:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>game log, or typed in minor. I typed, there's not

1214
01:09:16.000 --> 01:09:18.560
<v Speaker 1>a twenty twenty six drop down.

1215
01:09:19.159 --> 01:09:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, As a matter of fact, No, Schmid isn't

1216
01:09:21.399 --> 01:09:24.319
<v Speaker 2>that close. I was wrong. He's heading out.

1217
01:09:24.560 --> 01:09:28.800
<v Speaker 1>It's marked the time, it's marked the time. Tim is

1218
01:09:28.840 --> 01:09:32.319
<v Speaker 1>not not wrong admitting that he's wrong. It's even a

1219
01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>bigger that's even a fact.

1220
01:09:34.920 --> 01:09:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The only thing bigger would be as if it was,

1221
01:09:38.159 --> 01:09:42.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, a closer, a player from Japan or Korea.

1222
01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:47.279
<v Speaker 2>There's the there's the ultimate. No. I thought he's already

1223
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:50.720
<v Speaker 2>started his rehab, But no he hasn't. So I take

1224
01:09:50.760 --> 01:09:53.359
<v Speaker 2>back everything I say about things getting that crowded. But

1225
01:09:54.159 --> 01:09:58.000
<v Speaker 2>uh and before I before, I proved myself wrong twice

1226
01:09:58.039 --> 01:09:59.880
<v Speaker 2>in one show. I'm looking at.

1227
01:10:00.000 --> 01:10:03.279
<v Speaker 1>So let's let's figure this out. So Schmid's not ready.

1228
01:10:03.800 --> 01:10:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Three just went on the I l Yeah, Elmer is

1229
01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:11.279
<v Speaker 1>the next guy outright, Are you missing anybody?

1230
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Okay, mac vabree, he's throwing a book and Saturday

1231
01:10:16.680 --> 01:10:21.880
<v Speaker 2>it's not as severe this time. He's Boone is saying

1232
01:10:21.920 --> 01:10:24.600
<v Speaker 2>it could be the fifteen day stint, could be around

1233
01:10:24.600 --> 01:10:27.479
<v Speaker 2>the minimum before he's back. So yeah, they're gonna need

1234
01:10:27.600 --> 01:10:30.319
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna need Elmer for at least to start, Yeah,

1235
01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:31.439
<v Speaker 2>maybe more.

1236
01:10:32.119 --> 01:10:35.079
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's keep our fingers crossed. Love love, love Elmer,

1237
01:10:35.680 --> 01:10:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Elmer Rodriguez. So uh and then Javier is Santa Jay.

1238
01:10:41.119 --> 01:10:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Second a short stuff, third base outfield, covers covers,

1239
01:10:46.119 --> 01:10:48.680
<v Speaker 2>the covers them all weekues of for first base and catcher.

1240
01:10:49.680 --> 01:10:52.039
<v Speaker 2>He's had a good week, slugged a couple of home runs,

1241
01:10:52.119 --> 01:10:55.960
<v Speaker 2>drive driven in eight runs that puts him second on

1242
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:59.800
<v Speaker 2>the offensive charts for the year for the Marlins. Uh.

1243
01:11:00.439 --> 01:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>But I think we can both agree he's not that

1244
01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:05.000
<v Speaker 1>good of a baseball player the right he's okay, he

1245
01:11:05.359 --> 01:11:08.119
<v Speaker 1>makes good contact, He's not that good of a player.

1246
01:11:09.520 --> 01:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>No, it's the thing that I find a feeling about

1247
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:14.720
<v Speaker 2>him right about now is second base, short stuff, third

1248
01:11:14.720 --> 01:11:17.720
<v Speaker 2>base outfield. That means I can have an extra picture

1249
01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:21.199
<v Speaker 2>probably on my reserves push me over the top. And

1250
01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:24.640
<v Speaker 2>it's the extra pictures I'm trying to focus on on

1251
01:11:24.760 --> 01:11:27.920
<v Speaker 2>right now for the most part, and having an injury

1252
01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:34.079
<v Speaker 2>replacement type type reserve slot on my you know, on

1253
01:11:34.119 --> 01:11:36.079
<v Speaker 2>my reserves.

1254
01:11:35.880 --> 01:11:37.680
<v Speaker 1>One of my many teams. I mean, I can't keep

1255
01:11:37.720 --> 01:11:40.239
<v Speaker 1>them all straight, which is a problem. I lost my

1256
01:11:40.319 --> 01:11:42.800
<v Speaker 1>shortstop last week and I had to find a replacement,

1257
01:11:42.840 --> 01:11:45.680
<v Speaker 1>and of course the waiver wires nothing. So you know,

1258
01:11:45.720 --> 01:11:49.079
<v Speaker 1>I sort by who's having the good last week or two,

1259
01:11:49.279 --> 01:11:52.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, you do all that kind of God help me.

1260
01:11:52.399 --> 01:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Ward came up. I'm like, it is Taylor Ward.

1261
01:11:55.920 --> 01:12:00.239
<v Speaker 1>No the guy. Wait, Taylor wait with the uh, with

1262
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the with the rays. I'm like, all right, so I

1263
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:06.119
<v Speaker 1>put a very minimal bit, I think one dollar stuff.

1264
01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I get them nothing to absolutely nothing.

1265
01:12:10.680 --> 01:12:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1266
01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:14.720
<v Speaker 2>When I start looking at players of that, the first

1267
01:12:14.720 --> 01:12:16.720
<v Speaker 2>thing that comes to my mind is that an old

1268
01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:19.159
<v Speaker 2>expression I use every once in a while, like shoot

1269
01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:19.520
<v Speaker 2>me now.

1270
01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Now it's like, I guess jay, I mean, I didn't

1271
01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:27.079
<v Speaker 1>even know if maybe it was I don't even know,

1272
01:12:27.479 --> 01:12:29.359
<v Speaker 1>but it's just you know, you get to this and

1273
01:12:29.399 --> 01:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>it's your You're you're taking players you know, are no good.

1274
01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>You have to do.

1275
01:12:37.119 --> 01:12:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Spot. Yeah. Yeah, it's beyond tossing dart. It's tossing darts

1276
01:12:42.680 --> 01:12:43.920
<v Speaker 2>in an imaginary wall.

1277
01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to your closer report. You got Ben Joyce. Uh,

1278
01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>he looks like the guy timmy over under makes it

1279
01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:54.199
<v Speaker 1>to the end of the season with that hit in

1280
01:12:54.239 --> 01:12:54.439
<v Speaker 1>the I.

1281
01:12:54.560 --> 01:13:02.319
<v Speaker 2>O Oh, well, based on his history. H I'm gonna

1282
01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:05.039
<v Speaker 2>go against the odds. I'll go with the underdog position.

1283
01:13:05.119 --> 01:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>He does make it to the end of the year.

1284
01:13:09.640 --> 01:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>And the other thing we have to mention is you

1285
01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:15.840
<v Speaker 2>know Tanner Scott's moved back into the closure role. Yes, yes,

1286
01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:18.640
<v Speaker 2>in Dodger in Dodger Land, with Diaz going on the

1287
01:13:18.640 --> 01:13:25.079
<v Speaker 2>I L. And the other the other thing of interest

1288
01:13:25.399 --> 01:13:30.680
<v Speaker 2>is the Cubs activated Valencia. Now, I don't think he's

1289
01:13:30.760 --> 01:13:31.760
<v Speaker 2>taking Dug that.

1290
01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Blew up last last night so he didn't pitch.

1291
01:13:34.159 --> 01:13:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, he's lurking in the shadows. If he can

1292
01:13:38.840 --> 01:13:41.119
<v Speaker 2>put the string together a couple of good games and

1293
01:13:41.159 --> 01:13:47.000
<v Speaker 2>web struggles at all. Uh, Yeah, that that could get interesting.

1294
01:13:47.039 --> 01:13:49.399
<v Speaker 2>There could be some saves coming up Valencia and Chicago.

1295
01:13:49.720 --> 01:13:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Some of the guys I'm looking at for next year,

1296
01:13:51.600 --> 01:13:56.880
<v Speaker 2>like Duarte and New York for the Mets. If do

1297
01:13:56.920 --> 01:13:59.239
<v Speaker 2>you want to stash a few guys, Duarte is one

1298
01:13:59.279 --> 01:14:00.479
<v Speaker 2>guy that I would stash.

1299
01:14:01.319 --> 01:14:01.800
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

1300
01:14:01.880 --> 01:14:05.199
<v Speaker 2>If Justin Martinez is still kicking around, I would look

1301
01:14:05.239 --> 01:14:07.159
<v Speaker 2>at me adding him for the future.

1302
01:14:09.159 --> 01:14:11.039
<v Speaker 1>He was taking it all my legs. But that was

1303
01:14:11.159 --> 01:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you there.

1304
01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. And the other player that interests me is a

1305
01:14:19.640 --> 01:14:23.960
<v Speaker 2>player that we we both got burnt on through no

1306
01:14:24.079 --> 01:14:25.399
<v Speaker 2>fault of our own.

1307
01:14:25.359 --> 01:14:27.640
<v Speaker 1>But of course not we're perfect in every way.

1308
01:14:28.199 --> 01:14:31.439
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Miller Miller in Boston, he's the number two guy

1309
01:14:31.479 --> 01:14:32.760
<v Speaker 2>there in right now.

1310
01:14:33.279 --> 01:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>And Eric Miller, Go Eric Miller.

1311
01:14:36.600 --> 01:14:40.520
<v Speaker 2>So Eric Miller, Yeah, he's behind Chapman, but who knows

1312
01:14:40.560 --> 01:14:46.680
<v Speaker 2>what's going to happen heading into next year? Okay, I

1313
01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:50.359
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't give up on Eric Miller in a dynasty or

1314
01:14:50.359 --> 01:14:55.640
<v Speaker 2>a keeper type format. He's got a good arm and

1315
01:14:55.720 --> 01:14:58.319
<v Speaker 2>who knows what's going to happen next year with Chapman

1316
01:14:58.399 --> 01:15:04.039
<v Speaker 2>and Boston that whole situation. Uh, you know, Wedlock's hurt. Uh,

1317
01:15:04.479 --> 01:15:08.000
<v Speaker 2>he's on a fairly long term deal. But like I said,

1318
01:15:08.039 --> 01:15:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I I haven't given up on Eric Miller, not yet.

1319
01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, I'm gonna have taken your advice and I have

1320
01:15:13.840 --> 01:15:16.399
<v Speaker 1>not given up on him at all as well, So

1321
01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I've kept him. I think he's got a great arm.

1322
01:15:18.760 --> 01:15:21.079
<v Speaker 1>I did the research and this was a good arm

1323
01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:23.439
<v Speaker 1>and it just unfortunately got moved.

1324
01:15:23.880 --> 01:15:28.720
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, the arm was good. The circumstances not so

1325
01:15:28.800 --> 01:15:29.960
<v Speaker 2>much for us fantasy bok.

1326
01:15:30.439 --> 01:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's let's do two star pitchers and then

1327
01:15:32.520 --> 01:15:37.119
<v Speaker 1>we'll circle back and get Tim's recommendations for two star pitchers.

1328
01:15:37.680 --> 01:15:40.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Matt Wilkinson. Are you sure he's

1329
01:15:40.199 --> 01:15:41.359
<v Speaker 1>a two star pitch pitcher?

1330
01:15:42.520 --> 01:15:44.279
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I screwed.

1331
01:15:43.960 --> 01:15:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Up because he's that's I thought he was pitching way.

1332
01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he's pitching today. Yeah, yes, yes, yeah that no,

1333
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I thought he wasn't pitching until tomorrow. That's my football.

1334
01:15:57.159 --> 01:16:02.159
<v Speaker 2>That's two for one show and fessing up to it

1335
01:16:02.359 --> 01:16:02.880
<v Speaker 2>unheard of.

1336
01:16:04.399 --> 01:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Twice.

1337
01:16:04.880 --> 01:16:09.079
<v Speaker 2>That's what I ever tell you. I have an alcohol problem.

1338
01:16:09.159 --> 01:16:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Rich Oh lord, you know this one. This is this

1339
01:16:16.960 --> 01:16:20.079
<v Speaker 1>is another one of my kryptonites. Zebbie Matthews Minnesota Twins

1340
01:16:20.119 --> 01:16:23.920
<v Speaker 1>fifty two percent rostered at athletics. So he's going into

1341
01:16:23.960 --> 01:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Sacramento against Jeffrey Springs and then home against the White Sox.

1342
01:16:27.760 --> 01:16:30.239
<v Speaker 1>When they did this last night, his they didn't have

1343
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:37.159
<v Speaker 1>a White Sox picture out there, Zebbie Matthews.

1344
01:16:34.600 --> 01:16:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh past, totally. I can't. I'm not starting him and

1345
01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:44.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm not starting him in that bandbox in uh Sacramando

1346
01:16:45.439 --> 01:16:49.680
<v Speaker 2>and the White Sox. Yeah, they're due for an explosion.

1347
01:16:49.800 --> 01:16:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Zebbie Matthews could be the perfect recipe for that. So

1348
01:16:52.880 --> 01:16:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm staying totally away from Zebbie Matthews.

1349
01:16:55.840 --> 01:17:00.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering if Zebbie Matthews turns into Brandon fat like

1350
01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the guy that got totally got both of them totally wrong,

1351
01:17:04.119 --> 01:17:08.000
<v Speaker 1>good stuff, fastballs, a little straight with both of them.

1352
01:17:08.359 --> 01:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Zebby Matthews gonna have a run like Brandon Fattz having.

1353
01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if Brandon Fattest turned the corner, but

1354
01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:16.840
<v Speaker 1>he's definitely. I wonder if one one year, we're gonna

1355
01:17:16.840 --> 01:17:19.600
<v Speaker 1>look at Zebi Matthews don't have a ten game streak

1356
01:17:19.680 --> 01:17:21.159
<v Speaker 1>like Brandon fattis having.

1357
01:17:22.560 --> 01:17:24.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's entirely possible.

1358
01:17:24.760 --> 01:17:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1359
01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not like the stuff isn't there, it's just

1360
01:17:30.239 --> 01:17:33.399
<v Speaker 2>he hasn't good. Yeah, he just hasn't got it all

1361
01:17:33.439 --> 01:17:36.960
<v Speaker 2>together yet. And I hey, I'll take him next year

1362
01:17:37.039 --> 01:17:40.239
<v Speaker 2>as a as a flyer in deeper leagues like drafting holes.

1363
01:17:40.439 --> 01:17:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'll definitely be able to get him. Yeah.

1364
01:17:42.760 --> 01:17:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he'd be like that Quantrill somewhere in the Yeah,

1365
01:17:49.079 --> 01:17:52.760
<v Speaker 2>in the forty second round. Yeah, why not. He's gonna

1366
01:17:52.760 --> 01:17:54.640
<v Speaker 2>have a job probably, so you know.

1367
01:17:55.159 --> 01:18:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe kind Freeland that's probably a no. But he is

1368
01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>at Washington Andrew Alvarez and he is at Landa. That's

1369
01:18:03.720 --> 01:18:06.439
<v Speaker 1>why I put him in here because it's two road starts.

1370
01:18:07.359 --> 01:18:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm all in on Andrew Albroz, so I can't

1371
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:12.359
<v Speaker 2>be all in on Kyle Freeland. So that's a that's

1372
01:18:12.359 --> 01:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>a pass for me.

1373
01:18:13.680 --> 01:18:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Springs Athletics thirty seven percent rostered. I get these

1374
01:18:19.119 --> 01:18:23.399
<v Speaker 1>from I don't have access anymore to CBS, so I

1375
01:18:23.439 --> 01:18:28.359
<v Speaker 1>get this from from fan tracks Minnesota. He's home against

1376
01:18:28.359 --> 01:18:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota and Zebby and he's home against Baltimore and Chris Bassett.

1377
01:18:32.880 --> 01:18:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Springs, Uh, that's a pass for me. He's going

1378
01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:41.159
<v Speaker 2>to have to pitch lights out to get at w

1379
01:18:41.680 --> 01:18:45.159
<v Speaker 2>and looking at the Athletics offense right now with all

1380
01:18:45.199 --> 01:18:47.479
<v Speaker 2>the injuries, I just don't see that one happening.

1381
01:18:49.039 --> 01:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Chris Bassett Baltimore thirty seven percent roster at Saint Louis

1382
01:18:52.760 --> 01:18:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and Matthew Liberatory in at Athletics and Jeffrey Springs.

1383
01:18:57.079 --> 01:19:00.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we got a theme here happening everywhere. You're asking

1384
01:19:00.520 --> 01:19:04.199
<v Speaker 2>about everybody that's pitching in Sacramento, and I got a

1385
01:19:04.279 --> 01:19:06.279
<v Speaker 2>pass on the Sacramento thing.

1386
01:19:07.159 --> 01:19:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I just I just read the guys that are not very,

1387
01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:12.560
<v Speaker 1>very well rostered. So I'll skip the next one because

1388
01:19:12.560 --> 01:19:14.239
<v Speaker 1>that's what we'll do it now. Because this is one

1389
01:19:14.279 --> 01:19:16.600
<v Speaker 1>of Thames. I think he's gonna say yes, Max Sureser,

1390
01:19:16.640 --> 01:19:20.680
<v Speaker 1>which is surprisingly twenty seven percent rostered and fantracks. I

1391
01:19:20.680 --> 01:19:24.520
<v Speaker 1>thought that was wow. Kansas City Royals home against Kansa

1392
01:19:24.520 --> 01:19:26.920
<v Speaker 1>City Royals and Ceph Luga, the very hot Kansas City

1393
01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Royals and Seattle to be determined to wonder he's on

1394
01:19:30.119 --> 01:19:31.399
<v Speaker 1>your list. That's a good call.

1395
01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Casey and Seattle their offenses, you know they're not

1396
01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:39.640
<v Speaker 2>that great. I think he's going up against the Logan

1397
01:19:40.119 --> 01:19:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Gilbert Seattle. Yeah. I again, the potential for low scores

1398
01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:51.479
<v Speaker 2>is there? Are you saying Max is going to pull

1399
01:19:51.479 --> 01:19:54.079
<v Speaker 2>it together and have a couple of good games next week.

1400
01:19:54.159 --> 01:19:58.039
<v Speaker 2>I like the fact that he's pitching against a couple

1401
01:19:58.079 --> 01:19:59.840
<v Speaker 2>offenses that are questionable.

1402
01:20:01.479 --> 01:20:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Very again, Royals have been hot, but I think questionable

1403
01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:08.359
<v Speaker 1>is reasonable. And then my last guy is Carson Wisenhunt,

1404
01:20:08.399 --> 01:20:11.840
<v Speaker 1>who's had one good game I think in a bunch

1405
01:20:11.880 --> 01:20:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of awful games. Another guy they kind of liked, but

1406
01:20:14.560 --> 01:20:18.159
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't put it together. Twenty four percent rostered. Tough

1407
01:20:18.359 --> 01:20:22.319
<v Speaker 1>matchup Cincinnati with Chase Burns and then home against the

1408
01:20:22.600 --> 01:20:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Arizona Diamondbacks and Mitch Brett.

1409
01:20:26.000 --> 01:20:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Arizona's been playing pretty good ball, and South Stewart

1410
01:20:30.520 --> 01:20:34.399
<v Speaker 2>do for a three homer nine rbi outings. So no,

1411
01:20:34.560 --> 01:20:36.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to stay away from I'm going to stay

1412
01:20:36.479 --> 01:20:37.439
<v Speaker 2>away from Whisse.

1413
01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:41.680
<v Speaker 1>So Tim has got Mex Scherzer as his two starter,

1414
01:20:41.880 --> 01:20:44.119
<v Speaker 1>and he's also got Andrew Alvarest.

1415
01:20:44.319 --> 01:20:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Temmy, why that one?

1416
01:20:47.399 --> 01:20:50.920
<v Speaker 2>That one is a that's a total no brainer from

1417
01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:53.520
<v Speaker 2>my from my persot, I could end up being proven

1418
01:20:53.640 --> 01:20:58.119
<v Speaker 2>wrong on it. But Andrew albers his pitched fairly well. Yeah,

1419
01:20:58.479 --> 01:21:01.640
<v Speaker 2>you go back and you look. You know, the last

1420
01:21:01.720 --> 01:21:04.239
<v Speaker 2>his last four starts, he's gone at least five innings

1421
01:21:04.439 --> 01:21:07.039
<v Speaker 2>in each outing, He's only allowed a total of six

1422
01:21:07.119 --> 01:21:09.600
<v Speaker 2>runs and all he's got to show for his two losses.

1423
01:21:10.359 --> 01:21:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Alvarez has been getting absolutely no support and this week

1424
01:21:14.840 --> 01:21:19.119
<v Speaker 2>he's facing off at home against Kyle Freeland of the

1425
01:21:19.239 --> 01:21:23.439
<v Speaker 2>Rockies and Tyler Phillips of the Marlins. Does it get

1426
01:21:23.479 --> 01:21:25.720
<v Speaker 2>any better than the two start week against the Rockies

1427
01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:28.880
<v Speaker 2>and Marlins. You know, I'm liable to get smoked on

1428
01:21:28.920 --> 01:21:31.800
<v Speaker 2>this one, but everything is lined up. I'm picking up

1429
01:21:31.840 --> 01:21:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Alvarez all over the place, and I'm rolling them out there,

1430
01:21:35.319 --> 01:21:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Rockies and Marlins. Rockies away from Coors and the Marlins,

1431
01:21:38.920 --> 01:21:42.560
<v Speaker 2>don't matter where they are. It's to me, it's a

1432
01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:47.199
<v Speaker 2>perfect setup for a good week from somebody who's been

1433
01:21:47.199 --> 01:21:48.319
<v Speaker 2>pitched pretty good.

1434
01:21:48.800 --> 01:21:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it makes totally logical sense. I love this

1435
01:21:51.039 --> 01:21:53.159
<v Speaker 1>set up there. Hopefully it'll work out for everybody sick

1436
01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:54.520
<v Speaker 1>or find a break to me come back. I've got

1437
01:21:54.560 --> 01:21:56.119
<v Speaker 1>a couple of random stuff for you here.

1438
01:21:57.079 --> 01:22:09.039
<v Speaker 4>Okay, you mentioned Kuchi.

1439
01:22:09.800 --> 01:22:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Five pitch seven, hits, five and runs, four strikeouts, one walk.

1440
01:22:14.439 --> 01:22:15.520
<v Speaker 1>You got four strikeouts?

1441
01:22:15.520 --> 01:22:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Then, okay, he's also signed to a contract, so that

1442
01:22:22.960 --> 01:22:23.800
<v Speaker 2>that does.

1443
01:22:25.359 --> 01:22:27.800
<v Speaker 3>So he's going a bitch, Yeah, yeah, I.

1444
01:22:27.720 --> 01:22:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Would think so. Yeah. So yeah, six Van rotation please.

1445
01:22:34.520 --> 01:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Dodgers up one to nothing. Let's see what's happening here.

1446
01:22:38.039 --> 01:22:41.920
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers are throwing Blake snow and the Pirates are

1447
01:22:41.960 --> 01:22:43.279
<v Speaker 1>throwing backer.

1448
01:22:45.119 --> 01:22:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, oh, Tawny scored the run and nobody drove him

1449
01:22:50.720 --> 01:22:52.600
<v Speaker 2>in and he stole the base.

1450
01:22:56.720 --> 01:22:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox up five to three. Here they've come back

1451
01:22:59.720 --> 01:23:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a little little bit against the Giants. Wilkinson got hit

1452
01:23:02.840 --> 01:23:04.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit hard Tommy three and two thirds an

1453
01:23:04.680 --> 01:23:08.920
<v Speaker 1>He's pitch seven hits, four earned runs, two strikeouts, did

1454
01:23:08.920 --> 01:23:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the damage. Home run came from some car a second

1455
01:23:12.680 --> 01:23:15.319
<v Speaker 1>of the season. Wow, you can't give up a home run,

1456
01:23:15.640 --> 01:23:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Derek so Card, You just can't. Yeah.

1457
01:23:18.840 --> 01:23:22.199
<v Speaker 2>I think Mickey Gaspar with another ARV. I looked at

1458
01:23:22.319 --> 01:23:25.159
<v Speaker 2>I looked at him. He started the week off okay,

1459
01:23:26.079 --> 01:23:30.239
<v Speaker 2>with homers on three consecutive days. Okay, Mickey Gaspar and

1460
01:23:30.279 --> 01:23:32.399
<v Speaker 2>then did nothing for those. Look, he's hit three home

1461
01:23:32.479 --> 01:23:38.800
<v Speaker 2>runs all year, Okay. I couldn't recommend him based on

1462
01:23:39.199 --> 01:23:43.279
<v Speaker 2>three homers Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, unless, of course, you count

1463
01:23:43.319 --> 01:23:47.439
<v Speaker 2>retro stats, and most leagues don't like he's had a

1464
01:23:47.479 --> 01:23:50.479
<v Speaker 2>good week. But I just don't see it moving forward.

1465
01:23:51.119 --> 01:23:53.239
<v Speaker 2>Maybe in the deepest of leagues you could take a

1466
01:23:53.239 --> 01:23:55.199
<v Speaker 2>look at him as your number two catch, or like

1467
01:23:55.239 --> 01:23:57.920
<v Speaker 2>in the twenty team, or you know, in an only League.

1468
01:23:57.960 --> 01:24:01.359
<v Speaker 2>He was probably picked up last week, but there just

1469
01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:04.039
<v Speaker 2>wasn't enough to get me excited.

1470
01:24:06.479 --> 01:24:11.000

1483
01:24:46.560 --> 01:24:49.520
<v Speaker 1>one I'm gonna which I find is really really funny.

1486
01:25:00.159 --> 01:25:02.279
<v Speaker 1>be a good spot for the Unspeedzer has stolen up

1487
01:25:02.319 --> 01:25:06.079
<v Speaker 1>to seventy bases across hind that's just an absolute nailing

1488
01:25:06.199 --> 01:25:10.920
<v Speaker 1>of that. But you know who else is on this list.

1489
01:25:11.840 --> 01:25:21.920
<v Speaker 1>This is funny, Okay, Devinson di Les Santos. We have

1490
01:25:22.199 --> 01:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>fully we've come full come, full circle, right, that was

1491
01:25:27.159 --> 01:25:28.199
<v Speaker 1>really really funny.

1492
01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:31.239
<v Speaker 2>First and first and one of the last. Yeah, I

1493
01:25:31.279 --> 01:25:36.880
<v Speaker 2>know the I always enjoy the first, the first three

1494
01:25:37.000 --> 01:25:40.479
<v Speaker 2>four waiver wires, those those to me are are really

1495
01:25:40.520 --> 01:25:43.119
<v Speaker 2>important ones. And I'll take a look at the end

1496
01:25:43.159 --> 01:25:46.079
<v Speaker 2>of the year and see and see how I did

1497
01:25:46.079 --> 01:25:49.640
<v Speaker 2>in week two, three and four. But I think it's

1498
01:25:49.720 --> 01:25:53.920
<v Speaker 2>just imperative that if you can get guys the earlier,

1499
01:25:53.960 --> 01:25:55.840
<v Speaker 2>you can get them, and if you hit with them,

1500
01:25:56.359 --> 01:25:59.000
<v Speaker 2>you got a full season ahead of you. That really

1501
01:25:59.039 --> 01:26:04.279
<v Speaker 2>does count in the way anything anything early. Yeah, it

1502
01:26:04.399 --> 01:26:06.399
<v Speaker 2>gets you out of the gate. And it's Alid bat Well.

1503
01:26:06.279 --> 01:26:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Louis Varland. You had, you know, you had a pre season,

1504
01:26:09.199 --> 01:26:11.159
<v Speaker 1>you had the first couple of weeks of the season,

1505
01:26:11.199 --> 01:26:13.399
<v Speaker 1>so that was definitely a guy that you nailed on

1506
01:26:13.479 --> 01:26:16.640
<v Speaker 1>as well. Chick April fifth, real quick, just to see

1507
01:26:16.640 --> 01:26:23.000
<v Speaker 1>if anything clops up. Let's see here, yeah, Josh.

1508
01:26:27.600 --> 01:26:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Last last fall.

1509
01:26:30.279 --> 01:26:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, good names in here. It's funny. Max Scherzers on

1510
01:26:35.279 --> 01:26:37.960
<v Speaker 1>this list too. It's that's another guy we come full circle.

1511
01:26:38.000 --> 01:26:41.960
<v Speaker 1>And here Tim was recommending Ryan Walt Schmidt back on

1512
01:26:42.039 --> 01:26:43.920
<v Speaker 1>April fifth. It took him a while to me, but

1513
01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:46.439
<v Speaker 1>he finally got the call. Yeah, so that's that's a

1514
01:26:46.439 --> 01:26:47.159
<v Speaker 1>good call too.

1515
01:26:48.079 --> 01:26:51.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Diamondbacks didn't agree with me as far as

1516
01:26:51.439 --> 01:26:55.199
<v Speaker 2>the timing of things, but yeah, I.

1517
01:26:54.319 --> 01:26:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Got Clig Peter too. He finally got the job.

<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

01:27:02.920 --> 01:27:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like a walk down memory lane.

1521
01:27:05.720 --> 01:27:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I hope for sight failure sometimes I think.

1522
01:27:12.079 --> 01:27:16.960
<v Speaker 1>So we've got this couple f yiyes. So I've got

1523
01:27:17.000 --> 01:27:21.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm on vacation. I'm here all week this week podcast

1524
01:27:21.439 --> 01:27:24.039
<v Speaker 1>next Sunday, and then Laurie and I are off on

1525
01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:30.439
<v Speaker 1>from the second of September through that's a Wednesday all

1526
01:27:30.439 --> 01:27:32.239
<v Speaker 1>the way through Tuesday. So there will be no show

1527
01:27:33.119 --> 01:27:35.479
<v Speaker 1>that Labor Day weekend everyone, so we will not a

1528
01:27:35.520 --> 01:27:39.359
<v Speaker 1>little bit dark. Then, so I apologize. It's my my anniversary,

1529
01:27:39.439 --> 01:27:43.239
<v Speaker 1>isn't it now. It's so we called our empty Nester getaway.

1530
01:27:43.359 --> 01:27:46.079
<v Speaker 2>So okay, there we go. I knew there was something

1531
01:27:46.119 --> 01:27:49.159
<v Speaker 2>coming up at the beginning of September every year. I

1532
01:27:49.199 --> 01:27:50.760
<v Speaker 2>don't know why I was thinking anniversary.

1533
01:27:52.279 --> 01:27:55.800
<v Speaker 1>So we always go away together. A lot of times

1534
01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>we go away and we go with other people, and

1535
01:27:58.079 --> 01:28:00.239
<v Speaker 1>this is always just the two of us, and this

1536
01:28:00.319 --> 01:28:03.960
<v Speaker 1>is honoring our kids not being in our home anymore.

1537
01:28:04.199 --> 01:28:12.640
<v Speaker 2>So you're taking six weeks off. We've done our job.

1538
01:28:12.880 --> 01:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>They're off the payroll now. So we actually started when

1539
01:28:15.439 --> 01:28:17.159
<v Speaker 1>they were still on the payroll. So they started when

1540
01:28:17.199 --> 01:28:22.079
<v Speaker 1>my daughter went away to college. So she's thirty five now,

1541
01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:26.359
<v Speaker 1>so that was probably seventeen eighteen years ago, maybe thirty three,

1542
01:28:27.199 --> 01:28:29.359
<v Speaker 1>so anyway, so that so we've been doing it. We

1543
01:28:29.399 --> 01:28:32.159
<v Speaker 1>go away every year. We did that every year except

1544
01:28:32.159 --> 01:28:34.760
<v Speaker 1>for and we always got just the two of us

1545
01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and we're going back to California. But there's something we

1546
01:28:38.039 --> 01:28:41.399
<v Speaker 1>go to probably every five years. It's called Pageant of

1547
01:28:41.439 --> 01:28:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the Masters. It's a weird thing. It's a Laguna Beach, California.

1548
01:28:46.479 --> 01:28:51.399
<v Speaker 1>It is an art show that has real live characters

1549
01:28:51.399 --> 01:28:55.399
<v Speaker 1>in it, real life people. So they'll have they'll have

1550
01:28:55.439 --> 01:29:00.359
<v Speaker 1>a painting of a picture like the American Gothic, remember

1551
01:29:00.399 --> 01:29:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that one with the two older people with man with

1552
01:29:03.680 --> 01:29:08.039
<v Speaker 1>the pitchfork. So they'll have a big life size portrait

1553
01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:13.760
<v Speaker 1>up there, but they'll actually be actors in those photographs

1554
01:29:14.359 --> 01:29:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and they post they have to they have to hold

1555
01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:18.319
<v Speaker 1>a post for like four or five minutes as a

1556
01:29:18.439 --> 01:29:22.399
<v Speaker 1>narrator talks about the picture. It sounds goofying. It is,

1557
01:29:22.680 --> 01:29:24.439
<v Speaker 1>but it might be one of the coolest things we've

1558
01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:27.560
<v Speaker 1>ever seen. It's just amazing to see the details they

1559
01:29:27.640 --> 01:29:31.880
<v Speaker 1>go to the to do these paintings and how they

1560
01:29:31.880 --> 01:29:34.520
<v Speaker 1>show you, how the actors kind of get I think

1561
01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:36.720
<v Speaker 1>their actors. I think anybody can do it, but you know,

1562
01:29:36.760 --> 01:29:38.720
<v Speaker 1>the actors kind of get in to do it. So

1563
01:29:38.760 --> 01:29:40.439
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be doing that. We're going for the

1564
01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:43.159
<v Speaker 1>closing I think it's a twenty fifth year doing It's

1565
01:29:43.159 --> 01:29:46.720
<v Speaker 1>where actually going for the closing show and meeting some

1566
01:29:46.760 --> 01:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of the people behind the scenes, and so it's going

1567
01:29:48.960 --> 01:29:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to be a whole thing. So it's one of the

1568
01:29:50.079 --> 01:29:52.119
<v Speaker 1>things that we we've always loved to do. So every

1569
01:29:52.159 --> 01:29:53.560
<v Speaker 1>five years we go and do that.

1570
01:29:54.520 --> 01:29:57.159
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. It sounds like a blast, lot of fun.

1571
01:29:57.720 --> 01:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>And then another thing I'm want to share with Tim.

1572
01:30:00.479 --> 01:30:04.720
<v Speaker 1>So on the nineteenth of September, we have we talked

1573
01:30:04.720 --> 01:30:09.880
<v Speaker 1>about this performing Arts center that's here in Morristown, New Jersey,

1574
01:30:09.920 --> 01:30:11.520
<v Speaker 1>which we love. We go to it as much as

1575
01:30:11.520 --> 01:30:16.600
<v Speaker 1>we possibly can. Right my first one of my first

1576
01:30:16.640 --> 01:30:19.520
<v Speaker 1>concerts I ever went to when I was a pimpled

1577

<v Speaker 1>and watching the boys and Cheap Tricks. So I'm very

1583
01:30:49.880 --> 01:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>very excited about that. Laurie's like, Cheap Trick, I'm like,

1584
01:30:52.880 --> 01:30:55.479
<v Speaker 1>we have to go. It's an amazing show. These guys

1585
01:30:55.479 --> 01:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>are fun. You're gonna love it.

1586
01:30:56.960 --> 01:30:57.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1587
01:30:57.479 --> 01:31:03.279
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, no, I one of my early concerts actually

1588
01:31:03.359 --> 01:31:06.279
<v Speaker 2>the first time I saw a Cheap Trick. They were

1589
01:31:06.359 --> 01:31:10.760
<v Speaker 2>just releasing their first album and they opened Kiss. I'd

1590
01:31:10.760 --> 01:31:13.079
<v Speaker 2>never heard I'd never heard of them.

1591
01:31:14.680 --> 01:31:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I neither had not heard of them.

1592
01:31:16.199 --> 01:31:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Either, and they absolutely rocked the place. It was great,

1593
01:31:20.760 --> 01:31:24.880
<v Speaker 2>it was awesome. I I didn't even statily in the Kiss,

1594
01:31:25.000 --> 01:31:27.920
<v Speaker 2>but I love Cheap Trick, went out the next day,

1595
01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:30.279
<v Speaker 2>bought the album and have all the early stuff.

1596
01:31:30.319 --> 01:31:34.039
<v Speaker 3>That's yeah, I knew you went to Kiss because I was.

1597
01:31:34.079 --> 01:31:37.279
<v Speaker 1>That's very jealous of that. But you left. I didn't

1598
01:31:37.319 --> 01:31:38.960
<v Speaker 1>realize you left before the show was over.

1599
01:31:39.680 --> 01:31:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it wasn't. I just yeah, it's Kiss, right, Yeah,

1600
01:31:44.680 --> 01:31:48.000
<v Speaker 2>it just didn't cheap trick. Like I said. The next day,

1601
01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:50.880
<v Speaker 2>I went out bought the album, the first album, and

1602
01:31:52.000 --> 01:31:54.319
<v Speaker 2>became an instant fan. They were so much they were

1603
01:31:54.319 --> 01:32:00.560
<v Speaker 2>so much fun and Yeah, and they actually didn't get

1604
01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:04.439
<v Speaker 2>jerked around by the I definitely give Kiss credit for that.

1605
01:32:04.520 --> 01:32:07.520
<v Speaker 2>They didn't get jerked around as the opening act, which

1606
01:32:07.600 --> 01:32:10.560
<v Speaker 2>was cool. It wasn't a long performance, but at the

1607
01:32:10.560 --> 01:32:13.079
<v Speaker 2>same point in time, Yeah, they didn't have the volume

1608
01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:15.039
<v Speaker 2>down a one and a half or anything like that,

1609
01:32:15.319 --> 01:32:16.720
<v Speaker 2>which I have seen in the past.

1610
01:32:17.079 --> 01:32:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember what what year that was? Because I

1611
01:32:19.800 --> 01:32:22.760
<v Speaker 1>saw a cheap trick. I want to say so I

1612
01:32:22.840 --> 01:32:25.520
<v Speaker 1>was born in sixty threes. I want to say I

1613
01:32:25.680 --> 01:32:29.880
<v Speaker 1>was seventy seven, seventy six, seventy eight, something like that

1614
01:32:29.920 --> 01:32:30.520
<v Speaker 1>is what I saw.

1615
01:32:31.399 --> 01:32:41.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I will look real real quick. Oh it would

1616
01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:46.199
<v Speaker 2>be it's seventy six, seventy seven. I think somewhere in there.

1617
01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I might have saw him a year or two after you,

1618
01:32:48.720 --> 01:32:50.840
<v Speaker 1>because I don't think my parents would have let me go.

1619
01:32:51.560 --> 01:32:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I probably would have had it been fourteen. I don't

1620
01:32:53.560 --> 01:32:55.319
<v Speaker 1>think my parents would let me go on I'm twelve

1621
01:32:55.439 --> 01:32:59.399
<v Speaker 1>or thirteen to a rock concert. So but at fourteen

1622
01:32:59.439 --> 01:33:00.640
<v Speaker 1>I might have gotten away.

1623
01:33:00.399 --> 01:33:02.640
<v Speaker 2>With you might have gotten away with it.

1624
01:33:03.279 --> 01:33:03.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1625
01:33:03.840 --> 01:33:08.439
<v Speaker 2>No, it was Actually one of the highlights of my

1626
01:33:08.600 --> 01:33:13.039
<v Speaker 2>live performances. Was in Sudbury and I saw Lynard skinnerd

1627
01:33:13.520 --> 01:33:16.920
<v Speaker 2>the original band the year before the plane crash open

1628
01:33:17.439 --> 01:33:19.319
<v Speaker 2>for Edgar Winter with Rick Derringer.

1629
01:33:19.760 --> 01:33:21.239
<v Speaker 1>They opened for Edgar Winter.

1630
01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Really yes, wow, yeah, yeah it was. It was their

1631
01:33:25.720 --> 01:33:30.600
<v Speaker 2>first date in Canada after a European tour. That was

1632
01:33:31.359 --> 01:33:33.800
<v Speaker 2>what were they looking at? It was the Give Me

1633
01:33:33.880 --> 01:33:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Back My Bullets tour or whatever. But it was all

1634
01:33:36.880 --> 01:33:40.880
<v Speaker 2>the original band and they absolutely tore the place apart.

1635
01:33:41.039 --> 01:33:45.479
<v Speaker 2>It was an amazing evening. And Derringer with Edgar Winter

1636
01:33:45.600 --> 01:33:50.319
<v Speaker 2>that was, you know, the Frankenstein era. Sure You Ride. Yeah,

1637
01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:52.760
<v Speaker 2>it was probably one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

1638
01:33:53.119 --> 01:33:55.640
<v Speaker 1>So I saw So, I saw Rush. I just looked

1639
01:33:55.680 --> 01:33:57.640
<v Speaker 1>on the inner Internet's got everything on it. Rush, UFO

1640
01:33:57.680 --> 01:34:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and Hip took place nineteen seventy seven. It was Rush

1641
01:34:00.800 --> 01:34:03.359
<v Speaker 1>as a farewell to King Store. I definitely remember that now,

1642
01:34:03.720 --> 01:34:07.279
<v Speaker 1>and it was the Baltimore Civic Center, November thirteenth, nineteen

1643
01:34:07.399 --> 01:34:12.279
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven. I was fourteen years old. Somehow my brother

1644
01:34:12.319 --> 01:34:15.000
<v Speaker 1>was four years older than me, so they trusted he

1645
01:34:15.079 --> 01:34:18.920
<v Speaker 1>would look after me. So so they let me go.

1646
01:34:20.199 --> 01:34:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can't even I can't even find it. I

1647
01:34:24.840 --> 01:34:27.479
<v Speaker 2>can't even find it. Oh, there we go. I can

1648
01:34:27.520 --> 01:34:31.119
<v Speaker 2>tell you exactly when it was. July nineteenth, nineteen seventy seven.

1649
01:34:33.479 --> 01:34:36.880
<v Speaker 1>So you saw him the same year I did. Yeah,

1650
01:34:36.960 --> 01:34:38.560
<v Speaker 1>just a few months after this, so they must have

1651
01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:42.319
<v Speaker 1>opened up for Kiss, and then a few months later

1652
01:34:42.359 --> 01:34:45.760
<v Speaker 1>they were opening it up for UFO and Rush.

1653
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:49.439
<v Speaker 2>So okay, yeah, I'm just looking at the set list

1654
01:34:49.520 --> 01:34:55.600
<v Speaker 2>now for Kiss. Yeah it popped up. Yeah, it's crazy.

1655
01:34:55.600 --> 01:34:58.039
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy what you can you can find on the internet.

1656
01:34:58.079 --> 01:35:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Eh, yeah crazy. Here's here's the set list. Uh, there's

1657
01:35:05.960 --> 01:35:08.479
<v Speaker 1>a Russia setlist. They just have Russia set lists. They

1658
01:35:08.479 --> 01:35:14.319
<v Speaker 1>don't have a Cheap Tricks set list. No, anyway, we digress.

1659
01:35:14.560 --> 01:35:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we have our our our love of music. Yeah

1660
01:35:20.199 --> 01:35:23.039
<v Speaker 2>that's Kiss. I'm just looking at.

1661
01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:26.239
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe you walk down on Kiss. I mean

1662
01:35:26.279 --> 01:35:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I was on a huge Kiss fan, but looking back,

1663
01:35:29.239 --> 01:35:31.079
<v Speaker 1>I would I wish I'd have gone to a Kiss

1664
01:35:31.119 --> 01:35:34.399
<v Speaker 1>concert and with all the pyrotechnics and stuff like that,

1665
01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I just I just didn't do it.

1666
01:35:37.199 --> 01:35:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, yeah, that is the date. I just googled

1667
01:35:41.000 --> 01:35:44.119
<v Speaker 2>cheap Trick in Sudbury and it came up with the

1668
01:35:44.159 --> 01:35:46.720
<v Speaker 2>same the same date for Kiss. Yet they had the

1669
01:35:46.840 --> 01:35:51.039
<v Speaker 2>open for Kiss on forty nine years ago, July nineteenth,

1670
01:35:51.119 --> 01:35:54.640
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventy seven. I would have been nineteen years old.

1671
01:35:55.279 --> 01:35:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you'd have been my big brother. Yeah, I have

1672
01:36:00.079 --> 01:36:02.760
<v Speaker 1>be my big brother, kept me out of trouble.

1673
01:36:05.880 --> 01:36:11.159
<v Speaker 7>I don't think we want to revisit the No, I

1674
01:36:11.199 --> 01:36:13.239
<v Speaker 7>would have got you into trouble, throwing you under the

1675
01:36:13.279 --> 01:36:15.159
<v Speaker 7>bus and giggled rich I could.

1676
01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I could. Back in the day, the way it was

1677
01:36:17.720 --> 01:36:20.880
<v Speaker 1>when I went to concerts, there was This was back

1678
01:36:20.880 --> 01:36:24.039
<v Speaker 1>when marijuana wasn't legalized. It's all legalized now and they

1679
01:36:24.079 --> 01:36:27.399
<v Speaker 1>don't let you smoke an arenas. But the whole concert

1680
01:36:27.479 --> 01:36:32.199
<v Speaker 1>was just teeming with with doobies and and it was

1681
01:36:33.600 --> 01:36:37.199
<v Speaker 1>the cigarettes would be passed down on the aisle and

1682
01:36:37.600 --> 01:36:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I remember getting passed to me and my brother taking

1683
01:36:40.920 --> 01:36:44.119
<v Speaker 1>that and and basically passing it on. I mean he

1684
01:36:44.720 --> 01:36:48.039
<v Speaker 1>did take care of me and get my personality. It's

1685
01:36:48.039 --> 01:36:49.760
<v Speaker 1>a good thing he did, so.

1686
01:36:51.239 --> 01:36:53.560
<v Speaker 2>I would have been the guy probably passing it down you.

1687
01:36:55.039 --> 01:37:01.000
<v Speaker 7>Great, Oh yeah, yeah, and everybody had everybody had a

1688
01:37:01.000 --> 01:37:05.600
<v Speaker 7>bit lighter because for the encore that's right, Yeah, yeah,

1689
01:37:05.680 --> 01:37:07.359
<v Speaker 7>you had a bit later there was none of this

1690
01:37:07.600 --> 01:37:10.439
<v Speaker 7>like camera thing and yeah.

1691
01:37:10.319 --> 01:37:12.359
<v Speaker 1>You turn your light on the back of your phone.

1692
01:37:12.880 --> 01:37:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, I'm surprised more places didn't burn to the

1693
01:37:15.359 --> 01:37:18.319
<v Speaker 2>ground over the years. I know, eight thousand people holding

1694
01:37:18.359 --> 01:37:21.159
<v Speaker 2>up bick lighters. What's the odds of getting out of there? Everybody?

1695
01:37:21.159 --> 01:37:23.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, I would light I would put my bic

1696
01:37:23.399 --> 01:37:25.800
<v Speaker 2>lighter up there and hold it up there, half hammered,

1697
01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:28.439
<v Speaker 2>and I'd be always looking for where the exits were.

1698
01:37:28.600 --> 01:37:31.279
<v Speaker 2>You know. I was the confident person at that.

1699
01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:34.399
<v Speaker 1>So it's interesting you were participating that, but you had

1700
01:37:34.399 --> 01:37:38.479
<v Speaker 1>the wherewithal to know this is mad and what's the

1701
01:37:38.520 --> 01:37:40.239
<v Speaker 1>way if this goes south? How do I get it?

1702
01:37:40.319 --> 01:37:41.239
<v Speaker 1>That's actually impressive.

1703
01:37:41.840 --> 01:37:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't feel me now.

1704
01:37:43.239 --> 01:37:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that proves maybe irresponsible, but not a dumb person.

1705
01:37:48.960 --> 01:37:52.079
<v Speaker 1>You were always very smart saying this could go sideways

1706
01:37:52.119 --> 01:37:53.159
<v Speaker 1>and how do I get out of here?

1707
01:37:54.119 --> 01:37:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? No, I I still would have thrown you under

1708
01:37:57.159 --> 01:38:03.199
<v Speaker 2>the bus. See what this kid was doing at the concert, mom, Yeah,

1709
01:38:04.920 --> 01:38:06.720
<v Speaker 2>to rescue him concert. It was terrible.

1710
01:38:07.279 --> 01:38:10.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's funny, all right, Temmy. We will hopefully see

1711
01:38:10.119 --> 01:38:12.720
<v Speaker 1>you on Friday. Everybody has a good week, and good

1712
01:38:12.800 --> 01:38:14.720
<v Speaker 1>luck with your teams unless you're playing up against me.

1713
01:38:14.840 --> 01:38:17.119
<v Speaker 1>And come on, Lawrence Butler.

1714
01:38:19.960 --> 01:38:22.439
<v Speaker 2>We want to say next week that the Butler actually

1715
01:38:22.479 --> 01:38:26.000
<v Speaker 2>did it. Be safely well, folks, and we'll catch you
