Speaker 3: You're gonna go, You're gonna see the show, is, You're
Speaker 3: gonna eat a bunch of great food. It's definitely not
Speaker 3: there to go and spend thirty five of you thirty
Speaker 3: six hours in a hotel doing dance competitions. Right, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Was thinking, could I do a twenty four hour live
Speaker 2: stream just to help fund this trip that I'm gonna do,
Speaker 2: or Yeah, and here's what the funny thing would be.
Speaker 3: The twenty four hour ass is charged up.
Speaker 2: Well, the twenty four hours I could do as a
Speaker 2: live Well, I was like, if I did a live
Speaker 2: stream before we went to Vegas, that would be the
Speaker 2: fun I would have staying up for twenty four hours
Speaker 2: with all the crazy people talking baseball, doing goofy stuff.
Speaker 2: Miserable is going to be hauling bags and dance competition stuff,
Speaker 2: and just in so you could go to.
Speaker 3: The Aies new stadium and take a picture of the construction.
Speaker 2: Someone actually was like, you should go and do like
Speaker 2: a triple A game. But it's like we're staying like
Speaker 2: it's like off strip. Of course, this competition isn't even
Speaker 2: like on strip, so it's gonna be off strip.
Speaker 3: It's it's may. It's gonna be like one hundred degrees.
Speaker 3: I have to drive there.
Speaker 4: It's a go to be measurable Reva Reva Las Vegas,
Speaker 4: and that's what.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be. It's gonna be the worst time in Vegas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like trying to explain to my kids too,
Speaker 2: because they're like, Oh, it's gonna be cool.
Speaker 3: Vegas isn't made for you. Vegas is built for adults.
Speaker 3: So you're going on them like your PCA.
Speaker 2: No no, yeah, I didn't definitely to do that, but
Speaker 2: there's people on the streets in Vegas that are screaming
Speaker 2: PCA stuff. That's the whole point. It's not Vegas is
Speaker 2: built for adults. So then you're gonna take adults and
Speaker 2: kids to a place where adults can't adult. Like, it's
Speaker 2: not a good recipe, but that is what I've got
Speaker 2: later in the week, so a little bit earlier, next

Speaker 2: dot com, please love us. That is the only way
Speaker 2: that I know that I'm loved. Otherwise I'm sad.
Speaker 3: You know I love you. Wesh, thank you, Thank you
Speaker 3: very much, appreciate that. All right, baseball stuff. Let's talk
Speaker 3: about baseball stuff. Let's talk about PCA. No, I love you,
Speaker 3: I said, didn't say I love you.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 2: I've said I love you way more times than you've
Speaker 2: said it to me, because I've done it on accident.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I'm getting off the on all right, love
Speaker 3: you bye, alright, let me bye. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Facts, absolute facts. I asked Joe this and he definitely
Speaker 2: got the answer wrong. But I said, if I were
Speaker 2: to tell you, there's a baseball player that yelled.
Speaker 3: At fans and told them to s and d. Uh.
Speaker 3: Who would that player be?
Speaker 2: He saidca, I said, no, that's who did do it.
Speaker 2: The only correct answer in ten out of ten people
Speaker 2: would have said Jared Duran, Like Jared durand one hundred
Speaker 2: percent would be the player that would do that. That
Speaker 2: was not the case. That was Pete k Armstrong decided
Speaker 2: to chop it up.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: He said, like, oh, yeah, some lady was talking some
Speaker 2: mess so I thought I would give it back.
Speaker 3: But you also told her to s your d so uh.
Speaker 2: That's probably gonna get a little bit of a discussion
Speaker 2: going on around the sport.
Speaker 3: True, But let me say this, I think he would
Speaker 3: have said the same to either gender.
Speaker 2: To be you know what, maybe, but he told this.
Speaker 3: Does matter because he said it to a woman. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm saying that, but but I'm saying I bet he
Speaker 3: probably would have said it to either gender.
Speaker 2: That's all either way, funny, but it holds a little
Speaker 2: bit more weight in that discussion. But like also, I
Speaker 2: think I'm just completely detached. It's never something I've gotten
Speaker 2: into now. To be fair, I have yelled to players before,
Speaker 2: but I think I've always done it. Okay, maybe one
Speaker 2: wasn't funny. I don't remember what I used to do
Speaker 2: to Will Myers, but Will Myers was remember Will Myers
Speaker 2: was like.
Speaker 3: A dick to people. Oh yeah, but that was that
Speaker 3: was fun because we would wait for him to refuse
Speaker 3: nautograph and then we he boo the holy ass out
Speaker 3: of her. Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 2: The only other one I ever really well, I did
Speaker 2: sing u tshota or shoga akaiyama, shogo akiyama.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I did do that one time. But the only other
Speaker 2: one was yelling at crap, his name just escape me.
Speaker 2: Who's the dude who was friends with Tory Lane, Mike
Speaker 2: Napolines Mike Napoli And it wasn't Tory Lane.
Speaker 3: It was oh yeah, yeah, yeah, b b b b
Speaker 3: bb Joe, not bbe Jones. That was a Rob Gronkowski thing.
Speaker 3: That's right, Actress. I don't want to do a search
Speaker 3: because that's good.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's a Tory Lane liked person.
Speaker 3: No, you're doing like the biggest film actresses like this
Speaker 3: was not it's not James.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I know you could go down the list.
Speaker 2: I'm just guise you haven't said her name, but he
Speaker 2: was very good friends with this adult actress, and it
Speaker 2: was kind of well, uh.
Speaker 3: Rachel, Rachel Starr, you got we got there. Rachel Starr
Speaker 3: was the one, by the way, I was about to
Speaker 3: google no googling. I couldn't remember the first name.
Speaker 2: I was thinking it was a t but Rachel Starr
Speaker 2: and I would scream Rachel Starr at him and try
Speaker 2: to get him to turn around. And I did do
Speaker 2: that in two different occasions. What I'm getting at, though,
Speaker 2: is I don't I think I've I've completely missed the
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna scream horrible. I don't think screaming Rachel
Speaker 2: started Mike Napoli was anything bad. I don't think booing
Speaker 2: Will Myers when he was being addicted to somebody was bad.
Speaker 2: I don't think singing show Go Akiyama was bad. But
Speaker 2: screaming and the stuff that people are saying to these
Speaker 2: players to make them have these reactions, I just don't
Speaker 2: blame Pete Crown. I don't blame any player for having
Speaker 2: these vitriol reactions to people that are saying awful stuff
Speaker 2: to them. But I also don't know what the chick said.
Speaker 3: I don't know what she said to him. I think
Speaker 3: for the most part, you're a professionally, you paid a lot.
Speaker 3: You should be able to keep your cool. I do
Speaker 3: think that there are lines or probably you know you've
Speaker 3: heard it all game and you're sick of it.
Speaker 2: But you need to keep your cool when someone is
Speaker 2: like screaming, like like you know, the whole like.
Speaker 3: Journal, if it's horrible, then answer back, like you're still people, right,
Speaker 3: that's the thing. If they're saying something horrible, then you're
Speaker 3: gonna hear them answer back. But if it's giving you
Speaker 3: a hard time, like the guy that was giving Haleo
Speaker 3: Ramos a hard time for oh for three Halio three strikeouts,
Speaker 3: and Halio like did the the fake ball throw at him?
Speaker 3: I think that's pretty funny. Actually, I think I think
Speaker 3: you think it was funny. But should he have done it?
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's actually funny about this.
Speaker 2: It's actually similar to what you and I were talking
Speaker 2: about off air about the troll people online.
Speaker 3: There are like exactly, there are troll people.
Speaker 2: Online that do stuff that like the context of how
Speaker 2: they're doing it, they have no self awareness, but then
Speaker 2: when you call them out, they're just like, oh, like
Speaker 2: because I had one. It was like a whole thing
Speaker 2: with like the fantasy spost put a videot about Boba schet.
Speaker 2: They didn't really give it context, and this guy was
Speaker 2: like garbage take. And then I was just like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: super garbage take, and I printed out, like, I did
Speaker 2: a screenshot where I snapped back at him because he
Speaker 2: was like, Boba SHOT's gonna have like amazing no no,
Speaker 2: But I said, oh, you're probably right.
Speaker 3: He is going to have big counting stats. And I
Speaker 3: did a screen.
Speaker 2: I was super sarcastic and snarky about it, and then
Speaker 2: the guy responded back kind of being like, you know, hey,
Speaker 2: by the way, this is just like my opinion, and.
Speaker 3: I like what you guys do and I and I
Speaker 3: was just like yeah, but I was like, hey, I
Speaker 3: hope you're right.
Speaker 2: But also at the same time, I didn't dig in
Speaker 2: to be like, Okay, that's fine that you're gonna say that,
Speaker 2: but you also were like kind of a dick by
Speaker 2: being like, you know, crappy take. But to me, that
Speaker 2: whole interaction, it's similar to the guy being like, hey,
Speaker 2: you're zero for three and then Hellia Ramo's faking.
Speaker 3: The ball, like that's that's a baseball.
Speaker 2: Real life version of that interaction. The problem is is
Speaker 2: there are way more of the woman reaction or the
Speaker 2: people with Jared. I'm not saying the one thing Jared
Speaker 2: Duran said was good, but the other one where they're like, hey,
Speaker 2: if you know, off yourself whatever, like there are people
Speaker 2: that do that, and then they kind of claim, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm just trolling. That's the same all those people do
Speaker 2: the awful things. You're like, oh, I'm just like chopping
Speaker 2: it up, blah blah blah, and then you get you've
Speaker 2: pushed a player beyond or you know, like like when
Speaker 2: we'll have our little meltdowns of someone doing that type
Speaker 2: of stuff, it's it's kind of in the same vein.
Speaker 3: F around as much as you want, but eventually you'll
Speaker 3: find I think that's basically what as the kids would say,
Speaker 3: is basically what it is. It's like, look, you can
Speaker 3: say whatever you want. No one's gonna take that away
Speaker 3: from you. That's you know, that's what the country was
Speaker 3: founded on. But you can't be surprised when people have
Speaker 3: a reaction. That's the thing is like you get to
Speaker 3: say whatever you want, you don't get to control other
Speaker 3: people's reactions to it. That's that's the whole thing. That's
Speaker 3: you know, uh is you can say whatever you want,
Speaker 3: but people are gonna feel a certain way about it,
Speaker 3: and you know, you don't have to respect that either.
Speaker 3: But it's the old get to say whatever they want.
Speaker 3: It's the old radio call in thing.
Speaker 2: Like I I do not connect with the type of
Speaker 2: person that calls into a radio station and is weird.
Speaker 2: I don't connect with people and YouTube comments that are
Speaker 2: horrible to somebody. I also don't connect with someone who
Speaker 2: says something essie and then backtracks that are being like.
Speaker 3: Oh well I was just blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, do you clearly said something that's not me.
Speaker 3: I don't do that to people.
Speaker 2: I don't think like that, And I don't also think
Speaker 2: that I'm in the okay, and that same type all
Speaker 2: the same person that does the kind of either a
Speaker 2: horrible or trolley fun comment. They're the same type of
Speaker 2: person that yells at a stadium and yells at players
Speaker 2: and stuff. So I mean, I guess I fall into
Speaker 2: a little token where I'm I'm you know, screaming Rachel
Speaker 2: Starr at Mike Napoli back in the day, but also
Speaker 2: I think like I'm literally not saying anything mean, like
Speaker 2: I'm having fun. I get the Will Myers one is
Speaker 2: the hypocrite one. We do boo at him when he
Speaker 2: did that, so but I feel like that's more in
Speaker 2: the line of like people that come in and leading
Speaker 2: off and play along with the jokes. They're not like,
Speaker 2: you know, oh your garbage, you know, like and then
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, but I'm just joking. I like what
Speaker 2: you do, and it's like, no, go piss off and
Speaker 2: never listen to anything.
Speaker 3: I have come down to your work and knock that
Speaker 3: you know, what's out of your mouth. Shut the hell up.
Speaker 3: I guess I know.
Speaker 2: So this is funny because we spend a lot of
Speaker 2: time talking about this stuff. Off area had nothing to
Speaker 2: do with the peak Crow thing, but it's kind of
Speaker 2: the same thing. I mean, the same thing, and we
Speaker 2: just yapped about it. He's just not going to really
Speaker 2: get away with it. Like unfortunately that was a pretty
Speaker 2: aggressive thing and it was on video, so you know, you're.
Speaker 3: Gonna have to do the weepee public apology and you
Speaker 3: know all that crap. So maybe I don't know, or
Speaker 3: go go to Mexico and play on Trevor Bower's team.
Speaker 3: He's actually in Long Island right now. Yeah, that entry
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 2: He's playing with the Long Island Ducks. It's an independent
Speaker 2: baseball team.
Speaker 3: He actually sounds like he's exactly where he belongs. He
Speaker 3: threw he threw a no hitter the other day. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, he did. I mean, you know what I
Speaker 3: did in MLB the show. It was kind of on
Speaker 3: rookie mode though.
Speaker 2: It was like throwing a no hitter on rookie because
Speaker 2: then somebody showed it was like this, like sixth The
Speaker 2: guy on the other side of the mound was some
Speaker 2: like fifty year old electrician who was playing like competitive, but.
Speaker 3: Like this is the guy he went up against. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this game with I gotta do sheet walk and electrical
Speaker 3: to McDonald's up there.
Speaker 2: There are some former players that are playing on that team,
Speaker 2: but it.
Speaker 3: Is it is a it's a bit given.
Speaker 2: But they're all like fifty right, like no no, like
Speaker 2: form like former players, like you don't remember what's him?
Speaker 2: Like Wolford Demo, d I m O music a national
Speaker 2: Like I think he's on that team.
Speaker 3: Wilmer Dafoe, Dafoe. Yeah, that's that's what it is. Not
Speaker 3: Willem Dafoe, but those guys.
Speaker 2: Again, I'm not trying to defend it or anything like that,
Speaker 2: but he is playing independent ball. He did throw no
Speaker 2: hitter and then he had like fourteen strikeouts.
Speaker 3: But I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I don't think I think this league is quite a
Speaker 2: step down from him playing like in Japan.
Speaker 3: You know what he's doing. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I think
Speaker 3: the Long Island rubber Ducks or whatever way worse than
Speaker 3: the Japanese.
Speaker 2: What an open we're doing right now talking about Trevor
Speaker 2: Bauer and Pete car Armstrong with the lady and hey,
Speaker 2: we got a fun one. All right, let's talk about
Speaker 2: some baseball stuff. I love that you put this together
Speaker 2: because this is hilarious. How about a versus Fernando Tatis
Speaker 2: versus Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber twenty homers is twenty homers
Speaker 2: this year with a pretty bad batting average, by the way,
Speaker 2: but absolutely going ridiculous to Fernando Tatis, who is now,
Speaker 2: like I think, one of the only regular players ish
Speaker 2: right without a homer. Tim and Chandler Simpson, I bet
Speaker 2: you if you win and look on a perfect qualified
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go look but he's be if you look
Speaker 2: at qualified, he's the only player without a home But
Speaker 2: you know what's funny that same thing you're putting up here,
Speaker 2: did you know that Tatis and Schwarber are within like
Speaker 2: a mile per hour on their average exit velocity of
Speaker 2: the hardest hit balls.
Speaker 3: Like that's the thing that we can't get over with
Speaker 3: Tatis right now goes in the air, one goes in
Speaker 3: the ground. As much of a disaster as it is.
Speaker 2: He's got a ninety one point nine overall exit velocity
Speaker 2: is maxib is one thirteen.
Speaker 3: I wish I could see. I think we did this.
Speaker 3: I have the qualified players that have enough at bats.
Speaker 3: There's one hundred and seventy three five with zero home runs.
Speaker 3: You know, two of them Simpson and Tatis. It's not
Speaker 3: a rise anymore. No, I believe. I believe we did
Speaker 3: this a couple of weeks ago. No, we did do it.
Speaker 2: And there were like five five guys your favorite restaurant amount.
Speaker 2: But I don't remember what the wh I.
Speaker 3: Don't have eight six dollars to pay for burgers on
Speaker 3: five guys that much. Uh Rangifo, Nasimnuniaz and Nickenzals are
Speaker 3: the other.
Speaker 2: Three one thing, by the way, I wish Baseball Savant
Speaker 2: would change.
Speaker 3: I don't know why. If they have it, why can
Speaker 3: they not put EV fifty or EV ninety would be great?
Speaker 3: Which is the average?
Speaker 2: You know, the top fifty nine, the top fifty. If
Speaker 2: you do EV fifty, it's the top fifty percent tele
Speaker 2: of hardest hit balls.
Speaker 3: What that averages?
Speaker 2: Why cannot not be on the Baseball Savant page?
Speaker 3: Why do I have to go search for it? I
Speaker 3: did go and find it. Fernando Tatis Bogs.
Speaker 2: Has a higher EV fifty than Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 3: What's his launch angle? It's garbage, that's the problem. It's
Speaker 3: the worst.
Speaker 2: It's Fernando Tatis is the worst. He has like a
Speaker 2: two degree launch angle. He can't get the ball in
Speaker 2: the air.
Speaker 3: But for perspective, real quick.
Speaker 2: The best EV fifty in baseball right now is James
Speaker 2: Wood at one oh seven point four. So that is
Speaker 2: the average X velocity of the top fifty hardest hit balls,
Speaker 2: fifty percent of his hardest hit balls. Oneil Cruz is
Speaker 2: one oh seven point one. Fernanda tis Rinks thirteenth overall
Speaker 2: in baseball, ahead of Junior Cameronaro, ahead of Kyle Schwarber,
Speaker 2: ahead of Mike Trout, ahead of Shaneleanngaliers. He has it
Speaker 2: is crazy. He is smashing the ball hard, which is,
Speaker 2: by the way, why there's kind of a really hardcore
Speaker 2: aggressive like buy on him. Joe told me he looked
Speaker 2: on CBS. The number one most traded player on CBS
Speaker 2: right now is Fernando Tatis. And I think the people
Speaker 2: that might be buying in on him are the smart
Speaker 2: ones because there's so much about his metrics. His barrel
Speaker 2: rate is better than last year's hard hit rate is
Speaker 2: better than last year. His max EV is better than
Speaker 2: last year. He's a two degree launch. He's striking out
Speaker 2: a little bit more a two degree launch. I go,
Speaker 2: and he cannot pull the ball.
Speaker 3: But the problem dubs in your max EV leagues.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the problem is that it's in the swing
Speaker 2: and there's a lot of people that are worried. It
Speaker 2: is the approach, like the pull and the launch angle
Speaker 2: is a obviously it's a negative, but it is a
Speaker 2: symptom of a problem in his swing.
Speaker 3: Two and sixty six batters on Baseball Savann, Fernando Tatis
Speaker 3: is twenty sixth in air percentage or twenty six worst worst. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it's weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, like he can't get so like you can
Speaker 2: look and you can be like, well, he's not pulling
Speaker 2: the air because he's not getting the ball in the air.
Speaker 2: If he could just get the ball in the air,
Speaker 2: that's an easy fix because everything else is good. But
Speaker 2: then there's also this element to say that this is
Speaker 2: the symptom of a mechanical issue in his swing that
Speaker 2: he has not gotten fixed, and can he fix it
Speaker 2: in season? And that's like the big question. I tend
Speaker 2: to think, like I would buy on him because he's
Speaker 2: so low, but it is so hysterically ridiculous that it
Speaker 2: is like it is it's actually almost asinine what he's
Speaker 2: doing and how bad it is. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: dude has a better you know, ev fifty than Kyle Schwarber,
Speaker 2: who is like twenty homers in and looks like he's
Speaker 2: facing out to have a sixty home run season. It's
Speaker 2: just like, it's a weird, weird baseball world right now.
Speaker 2: Would you buy would you want to buy Bernando Tatis
Speaker 2: Junior at let's call it eighty five to ninety percent
Speaker 2: of his costs or would you want to get out
Speaker 2: of the tatist business because you don't think he's.
Speaker 3: I'm not paying I'm not paying eighty five or ninety percent, right,
Speaker 3: because this is a top twenty player going into the years.
Speaker 3: So what you have to trade a top thirty five
Speaker 3: forty player.
Speaker 2: Oh, let's say like you got to trade like it's
Speaker 2: you have to trade Jordan Walker and like a little
Speaker 2: pitchy piece, I'm keeping Walker, Okay, So then you're out
Speaker 2: of the tatist business.
Speaker 3: I am yeah, zero homers, no, thank you. I'm just
Speaker 3: not doing it. That plus his uh, his injury history.
Speaker 3: I've just I don't know, I get it. I understand
Speaker 3: that he is a bye, but I'm not I'm buying low.
Speaker 3: I'm not that buying high. It has to be seventy
Speaker 3: five cents on the dollar, ninety can't do it. Trying
Speaker 3: to figure out, like then who is that? Like, like,
Speaker 3: I'm not trading Jordan Walker's white hot. I don't think
Speaker 3: you can trade Jordan Walker straight up. You wouldn't do
Speaker 3: that trade. I I don't think I would actually had
Speaker 3: the CBS thing up that I've been interesting to see
Speaker 3: what the what the TATIS trades end up looking like
Speaker 3: maybe I could really quickly. If you want to talk
Speaker 3: for a second, I'll look in see if I could
Speaker 3: find that fantasy pressure port. But we're trying to look
Speaker 3: at someone because he is, like I could tell Martes struggling,
Speaker 3: so like it maybe could tell Marte and something smaller, Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, for Tatis. Maybe that like I just I
Speaker 3: don't think I could trade. I could trade a struggling player,
Speaker 3: You trade Tatis. I think that's a fair deal based
Speaker 3: on both of them sucking right now. But that's what
Speaker 3: you would do. No, I think it's fair. What what
Speaker 3: I'm saying is is that I'm not paying ninety percent
Speaker 3: of real value that's playing well right now if I
Speaker 3: can trade another low player that somebody else thinks is
Speaker 3: going to come back, or like even if it's if
Speaker 3: I am trading a hot player, it's a pitcher, right,
Speaker 3: so someone that's more likely to be injured than a
Speaker 3: position player, and not trading a hot position player that's
Speaker 3: holding value in winning me weeks or keeping me high
Speaker 3: in the standings to get a guy that's that low. Okay,
Speaker 3: so this happened.
Speaker 2: These were from sink Leagues on Fantasy Pros in last week.
Speaker 2: Tatis for Gunner straight up what side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's they're both struggling, So that's that's
Speaker 3: when I think that's fair. I think that's what you want.
Speaker 3: I think i'd rather have Tatis in that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tough one because Gunner's batting average is struggling,
Speaker 2: but he's got the counting stats. I think i'd want
Speaker 2: Gunner there, Tatis and mikeel Garcia for Gunner and Kutel.
Speaker 3: Marte Gunner Marte.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would do that too, and then Tatis and
Speaker 2: Y Savage from Michael Harris and Spencer.
Speaker 3: Streider tatising you Savage for Strider and who.
Speaker 2: It's Michael Harrison, Strider for Tatis and y Savage.
Speaker 3: I think that one's pretty fair. I think I want
Speaker 3: I think I want the Tatis side on that one.
Speaker 3: I think I want the tattoo side on that one too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish you could have. I wish I had
Speaker 2: the Fantasy or the CBS one. That would be interesting
Speaker 2: to look.
Speaker 3: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just never gonna get right, it'll never sit right.
Speaker 2: But there's just a there's there's some ridiculous stuff in
Speaker 2: Tatis that I do look at it, and it's like, man,
Speaker 2: there is like there's one change, there's one thing, Like
Speaker 2: he's got to change that swing, so he's getting on
Speaker 2: top of it so you can get the ball in
Speaker 2: the air. But like, is that manageable? If it is manageable,
Speaker 2: everything else is in line with the player that we know.
Speaker 3: And then do you want Buckston er Tatis for the
Speaker 3: rest of the year. Buckston Smith's four days in a row,
Speaker 3: but he's not expected to go on the IL.
Speaker 2: That is a great question because Buckson also has put
Speaker 2: up some video game like numbers fifteen homers to start
Speaker 2: the year for stolen.
Speaker 3: Bases, three runs.
Speaker 2: See, I think this is a testament to the you
Speaker 2: were talking about with the like Walker hot player thing,
Speaker 2: like can you even get the production? Like is a
Speaker 2: lower side of Buxton still a better flash.
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna take Tatis.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Okay, I know it's that you gotta work it out.
Speaker 2: I think I would trade Buckston to get Tatis in there.
Speaker 2: But that is a little bit of a leap of faith,
Speaker 2: that's what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's the thing I feel like for Buckston.
Speaker 3: Maybe I would because you know me personally, Like I
Speaker 3: just feel like bucks it's gonna get hurt. Yeah, miss time,
Speaker 3: although he didn't last year, so he's definitely like on
Speaker 3: a better side for me than he was a couple
Speaker 3: of seasons ago. But that's a hard trade to do,
Speaker 3: specifically if like some of your other guys are struggling
Speaker 3: as well, and Buckston's a guy carrying your team, I
Speaker 3: think that's a difficult trade to do. But I'll trade
Speaker 3: trash for trash for no problem or someone that's way
Speaker 3: over performing. Like how about this Mark Comedy is hitting
Speaker 3: two thirty five from you know, May eighteenth on who
Speaker 3: has a better year? Tatis? Markami? Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 3: would go with Tatis on this one. That's what like that?
Speaker 3: I think I would too.
Speaker 2: That's a really fun trade because it's like the best
Speaker 2: versions of him might have already, like of of Markcomy
Speaker 2: might have happened. I think it is clear the best
Speaker 2: version of Tatis we have not seen yet this season.
Speaker 3: One more and then we can get off the Tatis man.
Speaker 3: Like we're kind of beating things to death today. But
Speaker 3: Randy rose Reina right now is hitting over three hundred.
Speaker 3: He's hitting three zero one, only four homers, but twelve
Speaker 3: swipes in thirty two runs. Guy is playing really well.
Speaker 3: It's the top uh thirty, He's thirty seventh ranked on
Speaker 3: Yahoo right now, Like, what are we doing there, Rose
Speaker 3: Raina or Tatis? Yeah, it's pretty easy tatis in most
Speaker 3: thought processes, but a Rose Raina is playing great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think I tak tatis there. But
Speaker 2: Rose rain also is one of the bigger like XBA differences.
Speaker 2: If I remember correctly, I think he's like Xba's around
Speaker 2: like two sixties. So they're again, Like my biggest thing
Speaker 2: is I do still feel like the best of Tatis
Speaker 2: is to come.
Speaker 3: It has to be because we haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, it kind of comes back to, well,
Speaker 2: I think we might you said we might mention this,
Speaker 2: but you know, I've I've had a lot of Bobashet
Speaker 2: this past week, from trashing him on a video and
Speaker 2: then having to like talk about it one of my
Speaker 2: biggest debate points for and maybe it'll just be wrong.
Speaker 3: That's fine.
Speaker 2: Bashett has just been like the best version of Bashett.
Speaker 2: It's still really not that good lately, Like maybe there's
Speaker 2: a verse. I don't want to dismiss that the best
Speaker 2: version of version of Bashet could be. He hits me
Speaker 2: fifty and he had lots of homers coming he starts
Speaker 2: stealing bases. The best version of Bashet for the last
Speaker 2: three or four years, it's just really not that good.
Speaker 2: Like he doesn't steal bases, he doesn't hit lots of homers.
Speaker 2: Maybe he could be a ninety ninety plus guy with
Speaker 2: a high batting average, and I think that's what we assume.
Speaker 2: But like, the best version of him, to me, isn't
Speaker 2: worth like having this heavy investment, and we're the best
Speaker 2: version of Tatis. It is a first round player.
Speaker 3: He's already stealing a bunch of bases.
Speaker 2: He does hit homers, he drives in a bunch of
Speaker 2: these guys Like I just like the best version of
Speaker 2: Tatus is not in question to what the best version
Speaker 2: of version of Bushett is. And I think I agree
Speaker 2: with that where they were drafted and stuff. But that's
Speaker 2: why I think we're thinking.
Speaker 3: About like Bashett, I think we're all chasing that twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one dragon right where he hit two ninety one
Speaker 3: or two ninety eight.
Speaker 2: He has everyone's chasing the pregnant season and never happened again.
Speaker 2: It's like the same thing I didn't mean I talked
Speaker 2: right over you.
Speaker 3: But no, no, but it's it's the same point. It's
Speaker 3: the exact same point, right is we're chasing that dragon,
Speaker 3: and it is one of those things where, look, we
Speaker 3: know he can do this, we've seen him do it,
Speaker 3: but we haven't seen him do it in half a decade.
Speaker 3: That was five seasons ago, So why are we still
Speaker 3: expecting that he's shown us for five straight years. He's
Speaker 3: not gonna do that.
Speaker 2: To be fair, he does have some of the higher
Speaker 2: like expected numbers in his favor, but I think it's
Speaker 2: been a pile. The team is a pile right now,
Speaker 2: And like I said, I just hold to it, like
Speaker 2: I just don't know if that the best version of
Speaker 2: what we could get out of Tatus is really going
Speaker 2: to be this like huge Like hey, you know, guys,
Speaker 2: I bought them, but and I traded away Tati. Not
Speaker 2: saying that that's the trade, but sure, I just don't
Speaker 2: know if it's especially in a ten man, it's just
Speaker 2: really not worth it.
Speaker 3: So all right, some other stuff out there.
Speaker 2: Spencer Raghedtty took a no hitter into the eighth, ended
Speaker 2: with five strikeouts seven to one third. He did walk
Speaker 2: a bunch with one hit. You big big Arraghedtty guy.
Speaker 3: Now, I mean the guy has just been pitching great recently. So, uh,
Speaker 3: I did ruin this for John because I think I
Speaker 3: sent him the imoji like oh, two batters before they
Speaker 3: hit came up. But uh, Raghetty's been great since coming
Speaker 3: off the il here, He's been real good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Named a huge three run differential between his expected and
Speaker 2: his actual era. He's expected Ari's four point eight nine
Speaker 2: this even after that no hitter with a.
Speaker 3: Really high walk rate. I think it's a tremendous time
Speaker 3: to sell on Spencer Arraghedtty. Tremendous time to selling him
Speaker 3: coming off a no hitter one five era. Look look
Speaker 3: on that can can you look up Arragedy on that
Speaker 3: trade thing. I just wonder if any single trades have
Speaker 3: been done with arraghetti I. He feels like he's so
Speaker 3: like to.
Speaker 2: Your point, I know you're going with him. Yeah, like
Speaker 2: because Joe did that. We had this whole big.
Speaker 3: Debate and he put it on a video.
Speaker 2: But he was like, Hey, I'm trading Otto Lopez and
Speaker 2: I'm just like, what are you gonna give anythink anything
Speaker 2: for him? I think he's just you're better getting the
Speaker 2: production from him on your team than trading him away
Speaker 2: in some underwhelming overall.
Speaker 3: But like I would also put like Davis Martin had
Speaker 3: another good start and he keeps stacking these great starts.
Speaker 3: His era is one six y one, his whip is
Speaker 3: under one. Like, what are you getting for these guys
Speaker 3: in trades? That's my question. I don't know, Like I
Speaker 3: I think, float them, sure, but don't be surprised when
Speaker 3: you get garbage offers. Same thing with Otto Lopez, anyone
Speaker 3: that was like below the top three hundred players in
Speaker 3: his way over performing. I feel like you just never
Speaker 3: get anything worth it. The search function in this thing
Speaker 3: that I'm in is just here one. It is just
Speaker 3: the biggest pilot garbage. Yeah, I mean this.
Speaker 2: I'm not even say this trade because this trade I
Speaker 2: just found it doesn't even make sense. It's like a
Speaker 2: five player trade or whatever. Yeah, I think it's a
Speaker 2: fair point you bring up, is what does Spencer Arrogatty
Speaker 2: get you. I do feel feel like pictures after six
Speaker 2: weeks hold better non going pictures hold better weight than
Speaker 2: non going hitters. And what I mean is like out
Speaker 2: Lopez kind of nobody. He's like leads a league in hits.
Speaker 2: He's got Homer's stolen bases. I still don't think people
Speaker 2: buy it. But a young pitcher with a one five
Speaker 2: v R, yeah, you know, through six starts, I think
Speaker 2: people are going to pay more attention to and I
Speaker 2: think you there's a better return rate from the picture
Speaker 2: than the hitters. So if I could, I would try
Speaker 2: to get out of the business.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you at least float these guys when a major
Speaker 3: picture goes down, right, yeah, three Scooble goes down, go,
Speaker 3: you know, and uh and trade Chris Sale gets hurt,
Speaker 3: Paul Skins gets hurt. Go and try to trade them
Speaker 3: to that that manager.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think he's gonna come back down to Earth.
Speaker 2: Big call up new Colt Emerson was called up as
Speaker 2: the Mariners put Brendan Donovan on the aisle with a
Speaker 2: groin strain back on the aisle. I don't actually think
Speaker 2: it's like I obviously it is because of Brendan Donovan
Speaker 2: going down, But I think this is like Colt is
Speaker 2: set because this was said a little earlier on. There's
Speaker 2: a rumor going on that they were going to bring
Speaker 2: cold Emerson up when he was to come up as
Speaker 2: a third baseman and Donovan would move into a super
Speaker 2: utail role. Well guess what, I think this just activated
Speaker 2: that and that's where we're going to head it to.
Speaker 2: So when Donovan comes back, unless cold Emerson, if cold
Speaker 2: Emerson is just way over his head, I don't think
Speaker 2: he's going anywhere. But I also don't think he's super
Speaker 2: fantasy relevant. They put him at nine. You know, his
Speaker 2: homers and souln bases kind of popped up a little bit.
Speaker 2: He's more of a doubles hitter. I don't think he's
Speaker 2: going to steal aggressively. I don't think he's going to
Speaker 2: hit homers, especially in a suppressed ballpark. I just view
Speaker 2: him more at the bottom of the prospect rang But
Speaker 2: in a fifteen team league, I would be interested because
Speaker 2: if his contact rates do go up, you know, like
Speaker 2: he's he'll be worthwhile as in the middle infield the
Speaker 2: twelve team, if you want to speculate, I think that's cool.
Speaker 3: Ten team No go, just absolutely no go. That's my
Speaker 3: take on cold Emerson, euon Walshman way over him right, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2: I Mean, Colt's one of the youngest dudes out there,
Speaker 2: and I was talking with somebody who's kind of close
Speaker 2: to Colt in a way, and they were just like
Speaker 2: a little worried that they didn't like this move, that
Speaker 2: it was too soon because Colt is so young. You
Speaker 2: forget how young he is. My take has been like
Speaker 2: I think the Mariners have kind of slow like let
Speaker 2: him just get to every level and adjustin stuff, and
Speaker 2: I think they're ready to see it at the major
Speaker 2: league level. I'm just not sold it will be super
Speaker 2: fantasy relevant like cold Emerson, to be honest with you,
Speaker 2: to me as like a Bobaschett type of player, you know,
Speaker 2: like fifteen to fifteen guy could be a high batting average.
Speaker 2: I don't think he has tremendous power stolen bases, like
Speaker 2: you're hoping he's a bobashett type, but you know what
Speaker 2: bobaschet can be like, so that's kind of like the same.
Speaker 2: I don't think Colt has the contact skills right now
Speaker 2: because there's still too much of a strikeout problem.
Speaker 3: But that would be the stuff. Baby, he's going to
Speaker 3: turn twenty one and get his first beer during the
Speaker 3: sea in the bigs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's super young. It's crazy in the injury market.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell not hydrated my elbow. I don't even think
Speaker 2: he pitched in the majors, he got activated, and then
Speaker 2: they found loose bodies in his elbow.
Speaker 3: I think this is four to six weeks.
Speaker 2: But I think this is supposed to be the similar
Speaker 2: like Terrek scoubl timeline, Yeah, because I think he had
Speaker 2: the surgery, but Scoobles was more like six to eight.
Speaker 2: So I'm not really one hundred percent sure. But that
Speaker 2: is horrifically bad news. Like Blake Snell, stuff is just beyond.
Speaker 3: So are we, like, is this the final Scarlett letter?
Speaker 3: Blake Snell is now an injury prone player moving forward
Speaker 3: in his career until he proves he isn't. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think he already kind of was. But the problem was too,
Speaker 3: but I'm over zealous in that.
Speaker 2: The problem was was like once Snell got adjusted, he
Speaker 2: could be one of those pictures in baseball. I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure it's worth it. And by the way,
Speaker 2: I think you were reverse muted right now. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: know you're you're good right now because I saw you
Speaker 2: go for the mute button and then you in the
Speaker 2: mic went and then I saw you hit it again,
Speaker 2: so I thought you were going to be unmuted. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think what this means for me, I don't need
Speaker 2: to be in the Blake Snow business.
Speaker 3: It's not worth it.
Speaker 2: Like he is just perpetually hurt, he's getting older. That
Speaker 2: upside of like how they perform Mike Crutch is, yes,
Speaker 2: if a guy is injury prone, but if they come
Speaker 2: out and they're the best picture in the world or
Speaker 2: hit her in the world, Like, I'm just gonna fall
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 3: Mike Trout, Jacob Decrom Blake Snow. We're at a point
Speaker 3: where it's just like, what's it, what's it worth? Dude?
Speaker 2: Like he's just he's dehydrated, Like he's just not gonna
Speaker 2: be good. He'eah there, he's good if he's there, but
Speaker 2: he's not there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you going to fall Seinfeld here? Yeah, man, I
Speaker 3: think it's just gonna be one of those things where
Speaker 3: if he's not ready going into the year, you just
Speaker 3: can't draft him. You know, if he finished his off
Speaker 3: this year after coming back from this and there's no issues,
Speaker 3: he goes through spring and he's fine, there's no issues,
Speaker 3: then fine, let's call him that. But he has to
Speaker 3: hit all those benchmarks after this injury to like trust
Speaker 3: him going into next year, and even then it's gonna
Speaker 3: be questionable. So yeah, I think it's probably just gonna
Speaker 3: be Blake Snell gets the hairy eyeball from everybody moving forward. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he kind of at this point has shown this is
Speaker 3: what he is.
Speaker 2: Also loose bodies. That's like the new thing this year,
Speaker 2: you know, was it like we get overlie.
Speaker 3: I like it better than TJ surgery. I'll take the
Speaker 3: loose bodies all the time. I think most people describe
Speaker 3: my body that way. It's loose. Is this going to
Speaker 3: be a precursor though? I mean, I hope it's not
Speaker 3: a precursor. Hopefully it's just something that they get done
Speaker 3: before that happens. So hopefully this is just like a
Speaker 3: new thing, and it's more like two months instead of
Speaker 3: a full year and a half. So fingers crossed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I suppose Byron Buxton, as you mentioned, missed. Oh
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Max Freed, I l with a bone bruise.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be shut down for a few weeks. Maybe
Speaker 2: that's the best case scenario, but they still have more
Speaker 2: imaging to do. This is going to probably buy like
Speaker 2: Ryan Weathers, Will Warren, like whatever that whole debate we were.
Speaker 3: Having, that's just a non non starter.
Speaker 2: They've also got guys like Louise Heel and Carlos Lagrange
Speaker 2: that are floating out there. Elma Rodriguez, Like, this team
Speaker 2: is just kind of stacked with guys, but it's brutal.
Speaker 2: If you have Max Freed, I think this is gonna
Speaker 2: be much worse than like a few weeks. But I
Speaker 2: think he was a little optimistic about it. You mentioned
Speaker 2: Byron Bucks and four straight games, not going on the IL,
Speaker 2: but just you know, not great, not great when he's
Speaker 2: missing time, not also great. Corey Seger went to Arlington
Speaker 2: to see a team back specialist.
Speaker 3: I gotta say, man, I saw the first comment about
Speaker 3: this I saw on Twitter was should we buy low
Speaker 3: on Seeger? And I it took everything in my being
Speaker 3: to not be like, what are we doing? Why are
Speaker 3: we still doing this? Like Seeger is just going to
Speaker 3: have this. He's josh Donlinson at this point, right, Yeah, Well,
Speaker 3: I mean he's young, he's older than those guys, so like,
Speaker 3: remember the end of josh Anenson's career is just calf,
Speaker 3: calf calf. I feel like this is back back back
Speaker 3: with Corey Seger and not the Chris Berman kind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm also kinda I mean, I'm just
Speaker 2: having to come to terms with like I guess I'm
Speaker 2: growing up. I'm having terms of these players that, like
Speaker 2: I would justify the production versus the injuries and stuff,
Speaker 2: but Seger it's I guess Snell hasn't even gotten into
Speaker 2: a space where he's not producing, but Seger is. So
Speaker 2: you're just hitting one seventy nine. Obviously the back is
Speaker 2: just lingering into this year. Why is the back going
Speaker 2: to like if you're seeing a special If the back
Speaker 2: is holding you back, then you're going to see a specialist,
Speaker 2: and then you got to go do something. Nothing is
Speaker 2: going to have a big immediate return. I think this
Speaker 2: is the biggest get out of Corey Seeker business, but
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what value is held on there. I
Speaker 2: just I don't want to be in it this year
Speaker 2: because like, what's the worst case you have to have
Speaker 2: surgery off of the season. What's the best case You're
Speaker 2: going to do what take like injections and you're gonna
Speaker 2: be lingering all year and then it's going to kind
Speaker 2: of float back and you're probably gonna be what ninety eighty.
Speaker 3: As soon as the Rangers are out of the playoff
Speaker 3: picture he's shut down. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: It seems very ominous for so I completely agree with
Speaker 2: you on Corey Seeger's L two V to the io
Speaker 2: with an oblique strain that is not great, horrible obliques.
Speaker 3: He's played one hundred and fifty three and one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty five, so like the last time he missed
Speaker 3: a big chunk of the season I think was when
Speaker 3: he broke his hand in the WBC. But I think
Speaker 3: this might be the first because I mean, how old
Speaker 3: is Altuma now? Thirty six? Thirty old, thirty six, so
Speaker 3: older than he is tall. Yeah, uh yeah, I think
Speaker 3: this might be. You know, he has four bombs and
Speaker 3: one swipe this year too. Beginning of the.
Speaker 2: End here yep, unfortunately, uh moved away. Clay Holmes fractured
Speaker 2: fibula that was actually from a Spencer Jones. It was
Speaker 2: like a one to eleven back at him.
Speaker 3: So ex fibula telling him about it, about telling Spencer Jones, No, telling, yes,
Speaker 3: telling Spencer Jones, like, Clay Holmes, you fractured his fibula
Speaker 3: and he's gonna be out for a long time. He's like,
Speaker 3: oh uh sorry, Like yeah, that's kind of a garbage comment.
Speaker 3: What are you supposed to say, like, oh my bad?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: What was he supposed to be like, yes, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: aim for his head next time.
Speaker 2: Thanks for being here for me to now make my
Speaker 2: public statement of apology, Like, yeah, I kind of agree
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 3: That's so weird.
Speaker 2: I don't reporting has gotten so weird with all the
Speaker 2: questions for these guys. Trevor Story to the IOW the
Speaker 2: sports herning. He's been horrible. He's not even fantasy relevant
Speaker 2: right now. Ryan Hearn's gonna miss multiple weeks with a
Speaker 2: quad strain.
Speaker 3: Not good.
Speaker 2: Uh, Jordan Westberg out for the season, Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 2: He'll be good for next year, but I don't know
Speaker 2: if it matters. Jackson Holidays working at third base, and
Speaker 2: I think the I know the rehab is going on
Speaker 2: right now. He restarted it, so if he gets back,
Speaker 2: he'll be playing third base, so watch out for that.
Speaker 2: And then Chase Dolander to the ile with an elbow
Speaker 2: loose sprain.
Speaker 3: Not good. Not they were making it sound like it
Speaker 3: was really ominous. Maybe not so much.
Speaker 2: But he's also Colorado Rocky's picture on the injury front
Speaker 2: of coming back. Ronald Acunya is he's not when he returns,
Speaker 2: he's not going to immediately play the outfield, and they're
Speaker 2: saying it might be the next series.
Speaker 3: I think I think they actually said he won't return
Speaker 3: until he came Oh okay, I read that incorrectly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think they said that would be like
Speaker 2: either next week or the next series, because it was
Speaker 2: potential that he was going to come back to this
Speaker 2: last series.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the last series was going to be
Speaker 3: if they just stuck him at d H and they
Speaker 3: don't want to do that. They want to make sure
Speaker 3: the outfield. I don't know, Yeah, I know I can
Speaker 3: get into the reason that rhetorical that he's going to
Speaker 3: I don't get it, Like you want Acunia his bat
Speaker 3: in the lineup, Just get him back there, don't make
Speaker 3: him do his hack a triple ag.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why they wouldn't just be like,
Speaker 2: let's just get it. It doesn't it doesn't jive with me.
Speaker 2: Jacob Mazarowski is slated to start on Tuesday. He had
Speaker 2: left last Wednesday's game with a quad strain. It didn't
Speaker 2: seem like it was much of anything.
Speaker 3: Does a lot of these little lingery things, but none
Speaker 3: of them I looked at it, it's all like lower body. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it's okay.
Speaker 2: Hunter Brown is gonna throw VP, is going to throw
Speaker 2: VP on Tuesday and then sort of rehab assignment if
Speaker 2: all is solid there, So that's probably.
Speaker 3: Like middle of June, I think aiming for Yeah.
Speaker 2: Jeremy Pania returned on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Hallelujah, Thank you.
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony is gonna start swinging a bat on Monday,
Speaker 2: so we'll see where that goes. Ryan Helsley played catch
Speaker 2: on Friday. No timetable, but that's still your time for
Speaker 2: Rico logan O Hoppy was activated on Friday, and Yelich
Speaker 2: played Sunday and hit a homer.
Speaker 3: After there was the potential.
Speaker 2: There was like one day where they said where Pat
Speaker 2: Murphy was like, essentially, however he wakes up is going
Speaker 2: to determine if he's out for a long time or
Speaker 2: if he gets back and apparently felt okay. I guess
Speaker 2: because they activated him and they're like, well, this.
Speaker 3: Is my fault. I've been off the Yellis bandwagon last
Speaker 3: year he played, so I took him this year and
Speaker 3: now we're getting this, so this is my fault. I
Speaker 3: apologize every one that's rostering, crushing out a little frustraty.
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break, we come back. Let's
Speaker 2: take a look at who is hot over the last
Speaker 2: seven days, hitters and pitchers. We do have a few
Speaker 2: slumpy guys we can maybe talk about, and then on
Speaker 2: hitting and pitching, and then we have got some saves.
Speaker 2: We'll see if there's any save information that's floating out there.
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere more in this league.
Speaker 3: Right after this, Hey, in this league, look at us?
Speaker 3: Who would have thought not made?
Speaker 1: Who made me?
Speaker 2: Who is scoring all the runs last seven days? We
Speaker 2: will start in the ren department and it goes to
Speaker 2: mister Max Munsey, Max Munsey scoring nine runs over last week,
Speaker 2: Spincher Steer with eights or no, I'm sorry Steer was
Speaker 2: with Monsey with nine, Corbyn Carrol had eight, and then
Speaker 2: we had on Hell Martinez. I don't know why, however
Speaker 2: this is written, is just breaking my brain. It's it's
Speaker 2: just not making sense to me. And then seven from
Speaker 2: Manzarto and Mullins. Really interesting thing that came out of
Speaker 2: the discussion I had if you want to check it
Speaker 2: out Fantasy pros. It was me, Rico and Frank stanfol
Speaker 2: from CBS. We debated a bunch of players and what
Speaker 2: was the debate. I think it was because Spencer or
Speaker 2: south Stewart was there was a third base debate. I'm
Speaker 2: kind of forgetting who it was now, But the point
Speaker 2: of it is in the discussion of ranking said third baseman,
Speaker 2: whoever it was, in there, Frank kind of alluded to
Speaker 2: him having Max Munsey, like really high. And that's one
Speaker 2: where I was doing a little of the Frank thing
Speaker 2: where I was still a little bit I hadn't like
Speaker 2: made this in season adjustment to him, but it can't
Speaker 2: not be acknowledged. Like ever, the whole glasses thing held true.
Speaker 2: He is an absolutely phenomenal value this season. His hitting
Speaker 2: profile looks sick. He's got twelve homers in a two
Speaker 2: sixty seven batting average. But I hadn't quite like been
Speaker 2: willing to boost him up a ton.
Speaker 3: Oh you know what it was.
Speaker 2: It was that I had Kevin McGonagall high, and I
Speaker 2: had McGonagall above like Machado and Riley, and Fred was
Speaker 2: kind of we were kind of him and Han on that.
Speaker 2: But when he said Max Munsey and how high he
Speaker 2: had Max Munsey kind of made me rethink like that's
Speaker 2: the one I hadn't really jumped on. And god man,
Speaker 2: he is tremendous right now. The profile looks great, it
Speaker 2: looks sustainable. His XBA is actually forty points or twenty
Speaker 2: points better than he currently has. He's walking it just
Speaker 2: everything looks like it is fixed.
Speaker 3: And this is a Dodger.
Speaker 2: This is he's projected thirty plus homers like he is
Speaker 2: playing like a top three or four third basement in Fantasy.
Speaker 2: I hadn't quite valued him in there, and I think
Speaker 2: he should be. What do you think about that? I'm
Speaker 2: not sure where you like? If you're comparing Munsey against
Speaker 2: both Riley and Machado, where would you put Munsey?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough because I think man Riley's hitting two
Speaker 3: twenty this year. I think he's starting to come out
Speaker 3: of it. Uh Hi, Machado is even worse. Right like
Speaker 3: Machado the last two weeks has been miserable. And what
Speaker 3: is Machada rank for the year. It's awful because he's
Speaker 3: hitting one eighty two. Hey, it's not doing anything. I
Speaker 3: think I still want both those guys over Max Montci
Speaker 3: for the rest of the season, but I like any
Speaker 3: trade involving those guys, I probably will agree with and
Speaker 3: say it's fair, right because they're playing so terribly. So,
Speaker 3: you know, Months he's great, but it's not like he's
Speaker 3: killing everything. He's scoring a lot of runs. The homers
Speaker 3: are great, twelve homers are are awesome, but he's hitting
Speaker 3: two sixty seven. His RBIs are low nineteen there with
Speaker 3: thirty five runs. Just weird specifically because it's huge, but
Speaker 3: but it's really weird that he has so many runs
Speaker 3: and not so many RBI hitting where he doesn't line
Speaker 3: up because he's like six and seven is where he's hitting.
Speaker 3: So so I think I would take those guys still
Speaker 3: above Monthsey for the long term. I think they're getting
Speaker 3: kind of their bad part of their year out now.
Speaker 3: But again, if you want to do a trade and
Speaker 3: you're getting a better picture back and you're trading Machado
Speaker 3: in your picture for Monsy and the picture that you want,
Speaker 3: totally fair deal with the way they're both playing right now.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would put Monsy below those guys, but
Speaker 3: not not with a lot of confidence, and it wouldn't
Speaker 3: be by a wide margin. I put Mounsey above those guys.
Speaker 3: I don't have an issue with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just like I think Monsy. I guess you
Speaker 2: could make the argument that maybe what Mounsey is doing
Speaker 2: right now is like the highest of high version. But
Speaker 2: Babbitt isn't inflated. His XBA is telling a better story.
Speaker 2: He's striking a little bit more. But I don't think
Speaker 2: it's worse. Like I just think like you might have
Speaker 2: a Sudo as a semi sustainable version of this type
Speaker 2: of Max Monsey he hit two seventy eight and April
Speaker 2: he's only hitting two twenty four in May. Maybe he's
Speaker 2: around a two fifty guy. I just think he's gonna
Speaker 2: hit thirty five homers and even the best versions of Macha,
Speaker 2: like maybe Michado does bounce back. Maybe from this point on,
Speaker 2: could Machado be better It's possibility, or Riley, But I
Speaker 2: think they're all the same versions of each other. So
Speaker 2: to your point, if like moving off of a Riley
Speaker 2: or whatever, or Machada got you a Monsy plus, I
Speaker 2: kind of like that. But I think maybe what's more important,
Speaker 2: Munsi should be considered in the same valuation as the
Speaker 2: good versions of Machado and Riley, if that makes sense
Speaker 2: to people, Like that's the level he's playing, and I
Speaker 2: think the the eye this is he's been doing this
Speaker 2: since uh he got the glasses, you know, so that's
Speaker 2: what's kind of being sustainable. So I'm just super interested
Speaker 2: in Max Munsey right now, and it's had no.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at his career splits and there's nothing like
Speaker 3: huge from first half the second half. So it's not
Speaker 3: like he's traditionally been a hot starter and then faded
Speaker 3: or anything. He's pretty even all the way through.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it's I think of how underperforming
Speaker 2: the Dodgers have been as a team too. Kyle Tucker's
Speaker 2: been and Otani hasn't even been great like they've been
Speaker 2: about Mookie Betts. And now you're gonna put you you say, like, hey,
Speaker 2: where all those RBIs? All those guys have been kind
Speaker 2: of mid. It's Andy pas has been carrying this team.
Speaker 2: Ti Oskar's been garbage. Now, if the team does start
Speaker 2: getting hot, I mean, hopefully Monsey doesn't go in the
Speaker 2: wrong direction, but if he keeps at his his sustainability
Speaker 2: to score.
Speaker 3: The Angels thirty one to three in there, yeah.
Speaker 2: Dude's gonna have one hundred runs. He might probably even
Speaker 2: a bad year get eighty RBI looks like he's gonna
Speaker 2: go thirty to thirty five homers Like I I find it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thirty five, you have forty eight runs on one
Speaker 3: hundred games. Last year he has thirty five and forty four.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: I'll also point out on how Martinez on this list.
Speaker 2: Just want to say he's everywhere on this list too,
Speaker 2: but guess what. Yeah, and his percentages, he's still like
Speaker 2: super low in leagues. His consensus rank is under forty
Speaker 2: percent between Yahoo and ESPN. Nine homers, eight stolen bases,
Speaker 2: hitting two sixty six. His XBA tells a nice story.
Speaker 2: He's barreling the ball like he does. He doesn't walk,
Speaker 2: which I kind of hate. But he's hitting off speed
Speaker 2: pitches really well and he's doing his damage. He's doing
Speaker 2: he's only hitting one seventy nine against fastball.
Speaker 3: I was listening to Frank in Towers yesterday and Frank
Speaker 3: made a good point. He said, this reminds me of
Speaker 3: Perdomo from last year. Uh yeah, I think there's similarities
Speaker 3: for sure, Like in the home the first guy that's
Speaker 3: hit for a low average but stayed out there. Well. Yeah.
Speaker 2: On Hell also was a second baseman who moved into
Speaker 2: the outfield, which is funny. Yeah, I definitely see some
Speaker 2: of that. He's increased his hard hit rate. That's probably
Speaker 2: a good comp he's also getting the ball in the
Speaker 2: air and he's pulling it like I just think on
Speaker 2: Hell Martinez is like a I know he's not floating
Speaker 2: out most of the leagues you guys are playing in,
Speaker 2: but if he is, he's a guy to be picking up.
Speaker 2: I think he'd also be a cool guy to get
Speaker 2: thrown into trade where someone thinks they're getting one over
Speaker 2: on you, like ooh, I'm trading this guy picked up
Speaker 2: blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: But it's like, if you can get him thrown in,
Speaker 3: I would do that. I really would.
Speaker 2: In the homer department, we had four homers from Dalen Lyle,
Speaker 2: On Hell, Martinez, and Kyle Schwarber, and three homers from
Speaker 2: Sheets Bait, Baldwin Kurtz and Colsont Montgomery. So anybody you
Speaker 2: want to hit in the three homer department because we
Speaker 2: were Lyle, I mean Lyle with four homers. He's kind
Speaker 2: of had this like you know, popular draft stock. I
Speaker 2: think he's had a quietly solid season. Yeah, two seventy
Speaker 2: two seven homers, three stolen bases, pretty good, pretty solid profile,
Speaker 2: actually some increases over last year. Anything do for you?
Speaker 3: On Dalan Lyle, I mean I like Lyle and he
Speaker 3: I think he was definitely of value, but at this
Speaker 3: point I think maybe he's because of the homers, he
Speaker 3: might be a little bit overinflated. Right. The average exit
Speaker 3: velo is still in the bottom twenty five percent. Uh.
Speaker 3: The barreling is right like at league average hard hit percentage,
Speaker 3: it's pretty low at thirty two percent. So I think, Oh,
Speaker 3: would you rather Lyle or on Hell Martinez?
Speaker 5: Ooh, I think on Hell Martinez is probably Oh. I
Speaker 5: think me too, But but I I think they're both,
Speaker 5: like you know, his profiles pretty bad as well. Hard
Speaker 5: hit is in the bottom thirty three percent average XCV
Speaker 5: lows and the bottom forty percent. He is barreling more,
Speaker 5: his expected slogging is better. He does chase way more
Speaker 5: bottom seven percent of chase percentage. I think they're both
Speaker 5: probably going to fall back, but I think i'd rather
Speaker 5: have Martinez.
Speaker 3: Very very interesting. I think me on that with you
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 2: I think Gavin Sheets has also kind of been a solid,
Speaker 2: just little valve. I think there's been a few of
Speaker 2: those guys that have just been there, like under picked
Speaker 2: up decent values. Nine homers, two sixty two average profile
Speaker 2: looks really good Rather about those other guys.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I think so.
Speaker 2: I mean, if I guess if I was hugging stolen bases,
Speaker 2: I would want yeah, not on how Martinez more. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, sheets versus Aisle is a really interesting one.
Speaker 2: I think I would probably go with sheets as well.
Speaker 3: Me too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like just kind of an unsung hero
Speaker 2: floating out there and the RBI department. Dyalan Lyle is
Speaker 2: there again. He had ten with JJ Bleday, Berger ended
Speaker 2: up having nine or am I reading that wrong?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: I'm still reading this wrong. It's Lyle, Blaedet and Berger
Speaker 2: who had ten, Kurtz and Schwarber had nine, and then
Speaker 2: eight from Otani Ruiz, Sheets and Walls. It's ok at
Speaker 2: JJ Bleday, He's not incredible. Yeah, he's been a monster.
Speaker 2: He's got six homers, hitting three oh three with a
Speaker 2: four eighteen OBP six eighty two slug. It is only
Speaker 2: in like sixty six at bats. He is through the
Speaker 2: f and roof on his profile. The only thing he's
Speaker 2: doing is he's whiffing a little bit, but he's not
Speaker 2: chasing in that whiff rate. He's got a much lower
Speaker 2: strikeout percentage, only fifteen percent. His walk percentage is higher,
Speaker 2: He's actually higher.
Speaker 3: His XP is three ten, he's hitting three oh three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually the most ridiculous profile I think I've
Speaker 2: ever seen, in that everything is pinned. His XBA is higher,
Speaker 2: his walk rate is higher, He's doubled his barrel. He
Speaker 2: has an insane twenty degree launch angle with a thirty
Speaker 2: seven percent poll rate. It's the most ridiculous thing I've
Speaker 2: ever seen. And even in like the individual pitch types,
Speaker 2: like he's underperforming against fastballs, he's underperforming against off speed,
Speaker 2: he's overperforming against breaking pitches.
Speaker 3: But the XBA is three forty six.
Speaker 2: Against like it's just small sample size. But good lord, dude,
Speaker 2: Bla Day is gonna continue to hold. Who would you
Speaker 2: rather have Bla Day or Gavin Sheets?
Speaker 3: I take blade over all those guys we just talked about.
Speaker 3: I want to give you a good one. Who would
Speaker 3: you rather have rest of season BLI Day or a
Speaker 3: returning Jackson Holiday? Hmmm, I think Jackson Holiday in that one.
Speaker 2: Brother, I think it might be Bla day, it might be.
Speaker 2: I feel very I said this on that debate show.
Speaker 2: I feel more prisoner of the moment than maybe I
Speaker 2: ever have. And I want to be really careful about
Speaker 2: that because you don't want to buy in to these
Speaker 2: short sample sizes and stuff like that. But what gets me,
Speaker 2: this is what really gets me on short sample sizes
Speaker 2: when I see things that create a low floor. And
Speaker 2: what creates a low floor to me is a low strikeout,
Speaker 2: high walk and pulled air balls.
Speaker 3: You mean you mean a high floor. You said a
Speaker 3: low floor. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I meant a high floor is like, when you see
Speaker 2: these guys, You're like, whoa fifteen percent barrel? Whoa fifty
Speaker 2: three percent hard hit rate?
Speaker 3: That's crazy?
Speaker 2: Like what can sustain that doubt? Because like, let me
Speaker 2: look at his babbit. Babbit isn't even crazy.
Speaker 3: He does have a massive splits. I mean for lefty
Speaker 3: versus riety. Now still only fifty one at bats against
Speaker 3: righties and eighteen against lefties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's the thing. But the thing that gets
Speaker 2: me to hold onto a player. I think this is
Speaker 2: a similar thing I did with Sal Stewart. It's like,
Speaker 2: but they're striking out really low, he's walking a lot,
Speaker 2: he's pulling the ball in the air at a degree
Speaker 2: a launching. Oh, it's over twenty degrees. Like those are
Speaker 2: things where it's like, Wow, you're probably going to be
Speaker 2: able to withstand some bad stuff. I guess Blade could
Speaker 2: turn into an absolute pumpkin because, like you said, brother
Speaker 2: can't hit lefties whatsoever.
Speaker 3: But he's they're not even putting him out there against
Speaker 3: left But by the way, yeah, he's sitting at home
Speaker 3: in the road, and I just I kind of think
Speaker 3: Blade is going to keep holding I look at Salstor
Speaker 3: by the way. I don't know if we notice this,
Speaker 3: but he's hitting one seventy five in May one Homer,
Speaker 3: he had nine in March and April. I picked one.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: One of the debates was, as I had, like Sal
Speaker 2: Stewart over Tati's rest of season because he qualifies a second.
Speaker 3: I'd luck dude, he's like ten ten, He's a ten
Speaker 3: to ten guy. Yeah, but it is all in April. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but it's low strikeouts. It's a great ballpark, Okay, but
Speaker 3: today you would take Tatis over South Tourt for the
Speaker 3: rest of you. No, I would take Steward. I didn't
Speaker 3: change it for three days, all right, It was not
Speaker 3: three days. It's a month and half a month.
Speaker 2: Three days ago, I would take Salas Stewart. I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna chaice my mind because of three days. To your
Speaker 2: point one hundred percent, he is stinking ass in May,
Speaker 2: and frankly, April wasn't insane. He did only hit two
Speaker 2: thirty five, but the NBA that's almost twenty five points higher.
Speaker 2: He's getting the ball in the air and he's not.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's a crutch of mine. I see walks, I
Speaker 2: see low strikeouts. I see an XBA telling a better story.
Speaker 2: I see a great ballpark, and he's hit ten homers
Speaker 2: with ten stolen bases. And while some of that suck
Speaker 2: has been happening, I tend to be like, well, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna kind of side with this guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, he's still doing okay. He has
Speaker 3: fifteen strikeouts and eight walks this month, well one seventy
Speaker 3: five average. And he have big lefty righty splits too. No,
Speaker 3: he actually does. No, you can hit right and lefties.
Speaker 3: He's home away is big two seventy at home, two
Speaker 3: sixteen away. I just think like, the further we get
Speaker 3: away from that hot month the worst South Stuart, I
Speaker 3: might be wrong about that.
Speaker 2: That might be one where you know, super cool dudes
Speaker 2: are going to tell me I'm wrong about that on
Speaker 2: that video, you know, like that's a crutch of mind
Speaker 2: that guy I get a shirt that's a super cool dude.
Speaker 3: Super cool dudes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's one of those things where I
Speaker 2: look at and I'm like, you know, all right, what
Speaker 2: is something if someone's wondering for me, what is something
Speaker 2: that makes a hot crazy start or you know, a
Speaker 2: run seem more sustainable where you would take them over not?
Speaker 2: And to me is a guy that's not striking out,
Speaker 2: is walking and is showing something in the hitting profile
Speaker 2: that could help get away with stuff. And to me,
Speaker 2: that's getting the ball in the air and pulling it
Speaker 2: and he's doing all of those in a super hitter
Speaker 2: for the environment. So I look at Blade and it's like, well,
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, like this does seems am I
Speaker 2: going to say make him over Vlad Junior? No, you know,
Speaker 2: but like Jackson Holiday is injured with the hamdmate thing
Speaker 2: that hasn't returned, Like, I don't think that's a hot
Speaker 2: take for me to say, Like sure, I'll take Bladet
Speaker 2: over him, But yeah, am I gonna take Blade over
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony?
Speaker 3: Like no, I'll still go Roman Anthony.
Speaker 2: That he's in a bounce back and stuff, but I
Speaker 2: guess I'm I'm getting that, like maybe maybe blau Day
Speaker 2: is a little bit more sustainable.
Speaker 3: Let's go to average.
Speaker 2: Gavin Sheets led the way six twenty five, a Rosrain
Speaker 2: at four twenty three. Burger was hitting well, Corbyn Carrol
Speaker 2: was hitting really well. A Rise hit his first two
Speaker 2: homers this weekend, a little wind aided, as people pointed out,
Speaker 2: and has two more homers in Tatis, which is fun.
Speaker 2: Marci was really good and ty Oscar uh for you
Speaker 2: when Tasker nice little bounce back. I don't know any
Speaker 2: comments on any of those guys that jump out to you.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think are we back on Jake and
Speaker 3: Marcy now that he's starting to hit. Let me look
Speaker 3: at the first month was real bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to see the full thing. He's up
Speaker 2: to two twelve. I don't love the strikeout rate that
Speaker 2: it's still uh, let me look at the split. I
Speaker 2: mean he hit one eighty two in all of April,
Speaker 2: one fifty eight in March. It's May is more of
Speaker 2: the outlier right now where he is hitting two eighty eight,
Speaker 2: which is that's solid to see, but thirty one.
Speaker 3: Games between March and April at one seventy eight. He's
Speaker 3: had fifteen games this month, he's hitting two eighty eight
Speaker 3: and he has he had ten stolen bases, so he's
Speaker 3: holding there. But he already has two homers this month
Speaker 3: when he only had one. He is thirty one.
Speaker 2: Game, so he is checking off a couple of those
Speaker 2: boxes where he I didn't realize. He's got a twenty
Speaker 2: one degree launch angle with a twenty six percent poll rate.
Speaker 2: That's absolutely sexy. You got to make contact with it.
Speaker 2: He's only got a four percent barrel, which I don't love.
Speaker 2: He's walking thirteen percent of the time. The only negative
Speaker 2: is his strike cut rates up around twenty four percent.
Speaker 3: So what do you think his ownership is on Yahoo?
Speaker 3: Thirty eight percent? It's still seventy three percent. I didn't
Speaker 3: know when I went to ask you, but I thought
Speaker 3: a lot of people would have cut him, uh three,
Speaker 3: only the three homers. But he's up to two twelve,
Speaker 3: like you said, thirteen swipes, fourteen RBI and twenty five runs,
Speaker 3: So I think he's he's improving. I think I'm back
Speaker 3: on the market. Yeah, I think I'm going to join
Speaker 3: you on that. I'm I'm down to like if.
Speaker 2: He got dropped, to like repick him back up, because
Speaker 2: I mean, that's some interesting if you look at his
Speaker 2: rolling well see here's a funny thing. His rolling ex
Speaker 2: wOBA chart though, went from well above league average to
Speaker 2: he's gotten to about league average right now. You would
Speaker 2: have loved the last one hundred plate appearances to be
Speaker 2: telling us like a you know, a more positive narrative
Speaker 2: because he is hitting two eighty eight. He just hasn't
Speaker 2: amounted to a lot of that stuff. But either way,
Speaker 2: I think I'll buy with you. That's that's an interesting take.
Speaker 2: Stolen bases, four stolen bases from Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 3: He led the way. I think he he lead the
Speaker 3: league still the way.
Speaker 2: Rose Reina at three with PCA, assuming that's Justin Crawford,
Speaker 2: Jose Fernandez, on Hell, Naylor, Soto, A bunch of those
Speaker 2: guys are in there. But Jose Ramirez absolutely ridiculous. And
Speaker 2: he's still like underperforming, Like the bat has twenty nine yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: the bat has not come alive this year. But he's
Speaker 2: twenty f'n stolen bases is absolutely insane. Dude, he's gonna
Speaker 2: have another.
Speaker 3: Forty player, he's thirty nine even he's gonna have a
Speaker 3: thirty forty season again. I know, because he's gonna steal.
Speaker 3: He might steal fifty bases.
Speaker 2: Dude, He's killing I. Chandler Simpsons driving me absolutely bonkers.
Speaker 2: It was one thing when like Nasiem Nunia is like
Speaker 2: Naesee Nunia is annoyingly he is not hitting for average
Speaker 2: and he has nineteen stolen bases. But like dude Ramirez
Speaker 2: up at twenty, Chandler Simpson is fourteen stolen bases. He's
Speaker 2: six off of the lead from Jose Ramirez, but he
Speaker 2: has the best batting average of any single player. It's Ramirez, Nunias,
Speaker 2: Oneo Cruz, and Chandler Simpson are your top four and
Speaker 2: stolen bases. And you know, I don't think anybody would
Speaker 2: have thought Joji Ramirez would be in this marker, like
Speaker 2: like Nunya Rameras is an incredible bet right now, if
Speaker 2: you had bet that you could buy out in a market,
Speaker 2: I don't know if that I don't think it's going
Speaker 2: to can you, But I don't know if.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna win that Chandler Simpson bet. Just looking at
Speaker 3: these solemn bases and seeing ONeill Cruises up here, I
Speaker 3: feel like we haven't said his name in three weeks.
Speaker 3: Is ONeill Cruise having like a terrible may? I don't
Speaker 3: think so. He's still hitting two fifty nine.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's gotten to the point where
Speaker 2: I was like preseason, cell cell sell, first week, sell
Speaker 2: cell sell, second week, sell, cell sell, And then it
Speaker 2: was like, oh no, it's just it's wrong.
Speaker 3: Sitting two sixty six. There's no homers this month. One homer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he had to hit left even I saw him.
Speaker 2: He didn't even play the day I went to that
Speaker 2: Pirates game. By the way, it's stupid, like, oh.
Speaker 3: Wait, no, maybe he did. Actually, oh yeah, he was
Speaker 3: dhing that day. That's what it was. But I mean,
Speaker 3: no major splits outside of month to month, right like
Speaker 3: lefties right ees is two eighty eight to two forty six,
Speaker 3: so okay, but not like Aime, I.
Speaker 2: Just buy, I just buy into like this verse, I'm
Speaker 2: back like I'm okay. I turned he can hit lefties.
Speaker 2: If he's a two forty two to fifty guy, he's
Speaker 2: gonna have like an absolutely really because you have ten
Speaker 2: homers sixteen soleon bases. It's gonna have twenty five homers
Speaker 2: and thirty eight solen bases this year.
Speaker 3: It's just he hasn't hit. He's hit one homer this month.
Speaker 3: That's it' that's the thing. Yeah, and I think it
Speaker 3: will too. He does have an almost thirty five percent percentage.
Speaker 3: Holy crap, let me look at this.
Speaker 2: He has the hot How many players with ten or
Speaker 2: more homers do you think have a thirty percent K percentage?
Speaker 3: M how many total have a thirty percent K percentage? No, no,
Speaker 3: you have to.
Speaker 2: I'll give you how many have ten homers because I'm
Speaker 2: asking you. How many have of ten homers or more
Speaker 2: have a.
Speaker 3: Thirty percent K percentage? So there are twenty eight players
Speaker 3: with that's what I wanted. Let's say seven. There's actually
Speaker 3: six and you guessed them. Not bad? Something should be easy.
Speaker 3: I don't think one is going to be Murakami, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's one. He's number.
Speaker 2: He was seventeen homers with a thirty set cruise, Oh,
Speaker 2: Neil cruse. Obviously he has the highest of any thirty
Speaker 2: four point eight. There's two strikes out is what Walker's
Speaker 2: on striking ant that much?
Speaker 3: Is he? Uh no, nineteen percent? That's why things look good.
Speaker 2: I think two are hard ones really hard. No, Kurts
Speaker 2: does not have Let me make sure, let me take
Speaker 2: off qualified by the way, well sometimes qualified.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're it did screw us because we added one
Speaker 3: more player.
Speaker 2: But I don't think that. Oh you know what that
Speaker 2: Schwarber is, he's number one at the top of homers.
Speaker 2: That one player added a thirty percent K percentage. So
Speaker 2: now we're at seven players and you have you guessed three? Yeah,
Speaker 2: you were dead on. By the way, you know, I.
Speaker 3: Think those are the only three I'm going to be
Speaker 3: able to get.
Speaker 2: Guy six seven. Okay, I'm guess I six seven, all right.
Speaker 2: So the other players were James Wood thirty percent.
Speaker 3: I should have got him. These three players are the
Speaker 3: ones I won. Specifically, I don't too.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't have got Hunter Goodman, who actually I didn't realize.
Speaker 2: He has a higher percentage thirty five percent K percentage,
Speaker 2: just higher than O'Neil Cruz. Damn Ian Happ has a
Speaker 2: thirty one point smiley and then the player that was added,
Speaker 2: Luke Rayley has a thirty four percent K percentage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Raley is like so hit or miss.
Speaker 3: I probably should have guessed him. Ian has Ian have been?
Speaker 3: Is his strikeout percentage always been a problem.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's been this much of a problem
Speaker 2: because he's hitting only two twenty eight last year.
Speaker 3: Twenty two point eight percent last year. Yeah, it's never
Speaker 3: been this issue. Wow, what's the not since his second
Speaker 3: season in twenty eighteen, where he struck out thirty six percent.
Speaker 2: Highest launch angle of his career, but worst batting average,
Speaker 2: worse expected batting average of his career as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he hasn't gone over a thirty percent career or
Speaker 3: thirty percent strikeout percentage in a season since twenty eighteen
Speaker 3: and twenty seventeen. That was it twenty twenty one, it
Speaker 3: was twenty nine point two. But since then he's been
Speaker 3: over twenty five one time, and that was twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four to twenty five point six percent. It's weird in
Speaker 3: how one characteristic and I can't determine is that someone
Speaker 3: I want to buy? Is that someone I want to sell?
Speaker 3: I mean, I think just in most cases Ian Happ
Speaker 3: is underrated, So I think in most cases it would
Speaker 3: be like buy him when he's cheap, which would be
Speaker 3: right now the uh yeah, the stat cast page is
Speaker 3: pretty on par with what he's doing. Bat speed is
Speaker 3: below league average of forty eight percent, but squared up
Speaker 3: is bottom fifteen percent with and strikeout rate or bottom
Speaker 3: ten percent at seven XBA is bottom twenty percent at eighteen.
Speaker 3: Everything else is well above average. Hard hit, barrel exitve low,
Speaker 3: x WHOBA, walk percentage in the ninety six percentile, barer
Speaker 3: percentage in the ninety five percentile. So when he hits it,
Speaker 3: it goes, but he is whiffing a ton. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't. I think I think I'm buying. I think
Speaker 3: I leaned to buy too.
Speaker 2: Like the strike up rates, I'm very uncharacteristic with like
Speaker 2: just massive fun stuff across the board, the like you said,
Speaker 2: the barrel, the walk rates the highest. He's pulling the
Speaker 2: ball the most he's ever done. Maybe, like let me
Speaker 2: look at the shape. Let's see zone contact has plummeted.
Speaker 2: It's actually the second worst, third worst of.
Speaker 3: His career besides seventeen and eighteen. Yeah, beside seventeen. Why
Speaker 3: does he regressed so much back to that over the
Speaker 3: first month here?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well that's what I'm trying to figure out, like,
Speaker 2: is that something that he's swinging less in the zone.
Speaker 2: His chase rates up, but his chase contact is down.
Speaker 2: Maybe just making a concerted effort, you know, contract coming up,
Speaker 2: like pull the ball in the air, try to increase
Speaker 2: those homers.
Speaker 3: It's killing his batting average. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I tend to think that thing that's gonna rectify.
Speaker 3: Is he a slow starter? I don't think he is. Uh, yeah, well,
Speaker 3: I guess he's a little slower in the first half,
Speaker 3: but to two fifty one in the second half.
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty four, it was the exact same, exact same
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. Pretty much, he's pretty much the
Speaker 2: same guy.
Speaker 3: Both haves. Yeah, not much money here. I don't get it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's weird.
Speaker 2: Guess by guess I buy going over to the starters,
Speaker 2: some of your high percentage starters who had some good starts.
Speaker 2: Cam Schlitzler continues to roll six and two thirds nine
Speaker 2: strikeouts against the Mets. I think I'm coming around more
Speaker 2: because I made a big change in saying that Misowski's
Speaker 2: top five sp That means Nolan McLean and Chase Burns
Speaker 2: are easy top fifteen if I think I have them
Speaker 2: both near the top ten, and Shlitzler's got to be there.
Speaker 3: It's a little part of me that.
Speaker 2: Wants to be like Schlitler's stuff to me, maybe seems
Speaker 2: a little less sustainable to those guys. But then, like,
Speaker 2: who am I to pick and choose my narrative When
Speaker 2: he has a one, three, five era, he's.
Speaker 3: Expected as four or five, or he is now the
Speaker 3: number one player on Yahoo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has a less than five percent walk rate,
Speaker 2: thirty percent k percentage, Like those things are hard to
Speaker 2: compete with with, like a big power fastball cutter sinker.
Speaker 2: I just I gotta let go of a preconceived notion
Speaker 2: and say that Cam Slitler's there. And by the way,
Speaker 2: think of it like this, Misrawski, Schlitler, McLain and Burns
Speaker 2: were all kind of seen in the same grouping, you know,
Speaker 2: of each other. They're probably all top ten pictures in fantasy,
Speaker 2: and I don't see any foreseeable change.
Speaker 3: So really big year for that.
Speaker 2: Like middle group of pictures that have made the jumpson
Speaker 2: Schlitzler is you know, leader of the pack. Chris Sanchez
Speaker 2: had to bounce back nine innings thirteen strikeouts against Pittsburgh Pirates, Boggies,
Speaker 2: Chris Sanchez, great bye. Also Zach Wheeler seven innings, eight strikeouts.
Speaker 2: That was someone I've been making in debate for that.
Speaker 2: I think he's still top fifteen even those Vida's down.
Speaker 3: A little bit. Yeah, would you trade Wheeler? Like what's
Speaker 3: like what contexts?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: I'm open to it, but I mean, just like in general,
Speaker 3: would you look to trade him right now? Oh, he's
Speaker 3: performing this well, didn't start the season right like I'm
Speaker 3: not just don't think you're going to get enough back?
Speaker 2: Well, like this might maybe this was the one. I
Speaker 2: actually I'm not really curious at what one. Frank didn't like.
Speaker 2: His take on this one right here might have been
Speaker 2: it because he said he barely had Zach Wheeler's a
Speaker 2: top thirty SP.
Speaker 3: And I had him at like seventeen or eighteen. I
Speaker 3: think he said that every call that he made on
Speaker 3: that show made him look dumb. This weekend, well, I
Speaker 3: think because there's a recency to it.
Speaker 2: But then also like I think his Stewart won against
Speaker 2: Stuart's fine, but Zach Wheeler like being almost the top
Speaker 2: only top thirty SP when he just rattled off eight
Speaker 2: and seven. If somebody views Zach Wheeler as like if
Speaker 2: they're giving you the story, they're like, well, you know
Speaker 2: I want him, but you know he was injured and
Speaker 2: his Vlo's down and Bubba and they all of that
Speaker 2: type of nonsense, I get out of my face. If
Speaker 2: I were to trade, I'm open to trading Zach Wheeler
Speaker 2: because yeah, there was an injury, and yeah the villa
Speaker 2: slightly down, but it's is a top fifteen in Fantasy,
Speaker 2: top fifteen starting pitcher in fantasy. Anything less than that,
Speaker 2: it's not worth it. But at the same time, like,
Speaker 2: do you really want to trade that valuable of a
Speaker 2: pitcher off? It have to be a trade that, like, really.
Speaker 3: You have to be stacked at starting pitcher and have
Speaker 3: avoided the injuries and stuff like that to trade a
Speaker 3: starter as good as Zach Wheeler.
Speaker 2: My argument on Zach Wheeler in drafting, which was your
Speaker 2: argument to start and I'm.
Speaker 3: Just saying I'm just throwing this question out to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, but I'm saying you were the Zach Wheeler
Speaker 2: guy before I got interested in and then things started
Speaker 2: to turn, is that Zach Wheeler is unquestionably when he
Speaker 2: is Zach Wheeler top ten pitcher in baseball. Ye, I'm
Speaker 2: probably putting him lower than he should be. So if
Speaker 2: he can return to ninety percent of that, that's a
Speaker 2: top twenty sp and he was going as like a
Speaker 2: thirty five to forty, So that's why I was so
Speaker 2: invested in him.
Speaker 3: Yes, his villa was down. He took some time to adjust.
Speaker 3: But what is he right now? The top twenty picture
Speaker 3: easy in there? So that filo in your first few starts, man, like,
Speaker 3: who cares unless you're five miles an hour down. If
Speaker 3: you're less than two miles an hour down, who it's
Speaker 3: your first start, thinks?
Speaker 2: I think it's fair, like a piece of pa it's
Speaker 2: fair to look at that and be like that worries me.
Speaker 2: But to me that negated understanding or knowing I'm not
Speaker 2: and I'm I gotta be careful how I say that,
Speaker 2: because that sounds see how I'm saying that. But to me,
Speaker 2: that's being like only looking at the numbers and not
Speaker 2: understanding who Zach Wheeler as a picture is. And like
Speaker 2: I was putting in this really good picture as a
Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt exactly was one of the best
Speaker 2: in baseball has been. Yes, he's getting older, yes, the
Speaker 2: villa's down and it's scary, but giving that benefit of
Speaker 2: the doubt, knowing what a great picture is and also
Speaker 2: knowing what the upside is, like you put all those
Speaker 2: calculations in and you take a concerted risk, and it
Speaker 2: is kind of a risk, but it's I think it's
Speaker 2: fair to someone to see the Velo considerably down and
Speaker 2: also him get blown up and a rehab started to
Speaker 2: and think this is a problem. But the difference was
Speaker 2: was like I think Joe was like, I want to
Speaker 2: get out from Wheeler now, and I'm like, absolutely not.
Speaker 3: I think everybody did that with Spencer Striider.
Speaker 2: I did that with Spencer Striider, so yeah, and I did.
Speaker 2: I did that exact same thing. That's where I was wrong.
Speaker 2: I was like, ooh, I don't think I want any
Speaker 2: part of this because I had I'd given the narrative
Speaker 2: after his first start. Every single season, his Velo has
Speaker 2: decreased year over year, every single year, diminishing results. He's
Speaker 2: more of a two pitch picture. I don't like where
Speaker 2: things are going. And I was out and that's been
Speaker 2: wrong so far that like I gave benefit off for McClanahan,
Speaker 2: for shame McClanahan.
Speaker 3: I gave it for Wheeler. I completely wrong about Strider.
Speaker 3: And you know, here's what it is. That's how it goes.
Speaker 3: That that's painting trying to figure out the narratives of it.
Speaker 3: Wheeler's not. Everybody's the same. I get it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Gossman six innings, Norton runs, five strikeouts against the Tigers,
Speaker 2: Gavin Williams six innings to and runs seven strikeouts against
Speaker 2: Cincinnati's been good. Joe Ryan six innings, seven strikeouts. Let
Speaker 2: me get your opinion on this real quick.
Speaker 3: Box. I in our trade video that.
Speaker 2: Joe and I do, we do every Monday. We buy one,
Speaker 2: we sell one. I put Joe Ryan in there and
Speaker 2: I stated that I don't have a compelling case in
Speaker 2: the numbers of why you want to trade Joe Ryan.
Speaker 2: But I was sticking to a narrative of a player
Speaker 2: that gets injured. Returns has scaries. Once they rattle off
Speaker 2: a couple and people start to forget, is the time
Speaker 2: to trade him. I want to give Joe Bryan the
Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt, but he had a back issue
Speaker 2: in spring which miss a WBC, and then an elbow
Speaker 2: issue recently. There's a long season still ahead. I think
Speaker 2: I'm going to put him out there at fair value
Speaker 2: because I think people are now like, cool, we got
Speaker 2: one hundred plus pitches, he's gone six innings, you know,
Speaker 2: good starts, we're back, maybe he'll get traded.
Speaker 3: I think that's fueling things.
Speaker 2: I think I want to get out of the business
Speaker 2: with Joe Ryan this year, even though he's been good,
Speaker 2: because I think those two looming issues are very scary
Speaker 2: ones for pitchers, and I just don't feel like we're
Speaker 2: done with it in May. So I am kind of
Speaker 2: just reiterating that thing. We would say if Joe Ryan
Speaker 2: were hurt right now and someone were like, hey, would
Speaker 2: you trade him? We would say like, well, wait till
Speaker 2: he comes back, has a couple of good starts and
Speaker 2: do it. I'm just doing that now without that that's
Speaker 2: the context.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, So I'm fine with that.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: You know, a guy that you're playing for a team
Speaker 3: that's in a tough spot, you're one of the most
Speaker 3: likely players to get traded. But then how does a
Speaker 3: trade work when a guy's had an injury already? You
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like that might be more difficult
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 2: Would you do would you trade away Joe Ryan right now, Yes, okay,
Speaker 2: so with me? Yeah, I mean that that seems like
Speaker 2: you're a plan too.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah. And that's this is when it works perfectly, right,
Speaker 3: is when he comes back. He didn't have to miss
Speaker 3: an extended period of time. He pitches well on the
Speaker 3: next couple starts. This is the perfect time to be moving,
Speaker 3: Joe Ryan. I'm one hundred percent with you on that, Okay. Cool.
Speaker 2: Treya Savage six innings, six strikeouts against the Tigers. Very
Speaker 2: good to see, Nady of all these seven innings and runs,
Speaker 2: eight strikeouts against Houston.
Speaker 3: Another good one to see. Yeah, No, really good one
Speaker 3: to see. I'm not sure what it says.
Speaker 2: Houston's offense has been pretty bad, but him and actually
Speaker 2: the next one Sandy al Contra six innings nowhere and runs,
Speaker 2: no walk, six strikeouts against Tampa Bay.
Speaker 3: Those are two really big ones. Let me do this
Speaker 3: for you. You have all the al Contra Davis Martin
Speaker 3: rest of the season rank them?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Davis Martin wins six innings, seven strikeouts against
Speaker 2: the Cubs. Davis Martin is still the last for me,
Speaker 2: because I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna go Sandy
Speaker 2: Nate and then Davis Martin.
Speaker 3: I think I go to Nate Sandy Davis, but I
Speaker 3: think it's the same for me. Daves Martin is at
Speaker 3: the bottom. But I mean, I gotta tell you, those
Speaker 3: guys both wrote off bad starts, or like, you have
Speaker 3: all these skips to start and now Kintara gives up
Speaker 3: six again. It might just be Davis Martin over Maybe
Speaker 3: it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: By the way, the Rangers need to trade Native valved.
Speaker 2: If the Rangers are just falling apart, they should be
Speaker 2: trading in Faldy and I cause I'm still assuming like
Speaker 2: Ocntra is gonna get traded some other higher owner percentage
Speaker 2: pitchers that did well. Bryce Elder went eight innings, he
Speaker 2: only had three strikeouts three earned runs though against Boston
Speaker 2: good start. Emerson Hancock continues to roll dude. Six innings,
Speaker 2: six strikeouts, one and run against San Diego. This one
Speaker 2: I want to throw out. I've been so weird about
Speaker 2: this guy. Justin Robleski six innings, two earned runs, five
Speaker 2: strikeouts against the Angels. I had started this process of
Speaker 2: talking about him on Fantasy Pros last week where I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm just not into him, thinking because he's
Speaker 2: got like one of the most ridiculously stupid strikeout rates.
Speaker 2: It's so bad versus his innings pitched. But one of
Speaker 2: the things realizing too is this is like a relief
Speaker 2: pitcher adjusting into a starting pitcher, and the strikeouts seem
Speaker 2: to be starting to click, and I think it's a
Speaker 2: it might be an interesting.
Speaker 3: Biops team now for at least a month.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm getting at, is like, his really good
Speaker 2: results don't help in the buy department, but there might
Speaker 2: be somebody that like sees the strikeouts and doesn't love,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe the expected number. And I think I'm
Speaker 2: a buy on Robleski because I think the strikeouts are
Speaker 2: going to take a massive turn here and he's not
Speaker 2: walking Like I'm into Robleski right now, so I want
Speaker 2: to try to buy him on the cheap. He's only
Speaker 2: sixty seven percent owned on here, which what is this
Speaker 2: Yahoo sheet? Yes, yeah, so, I mean, I mean he's
Speaker 2: still gonna be owned in all the places. I just
Speaker 2: think i'd love to get him thrown into a trade
Speaker 2: because I think the strikeouts are going to be better
Speaker 2: and he's got a rotation spot rest of season, so
Speaker 2: a great Okay, Mike Soroka five and two thirds eight
Speaker 2: strikeouts against the Rockies. That's been a nice turnaround. Nick
Speaker 2: Martinez continues to roll six innings for strikeouts, Randy Vasquez
Speaker 2: six innings, two strikeouts, low strikeout guys, but they're getting
Speaker 2: innings and being efficient. And Peyton Toley eight innings, eight
Speaker 2: strikeouts against Atlanta continues to roll with it. Some lower
Speaker 2: percentage owned guys with some big outings. Logan Henderson I
Speaker 2: had talked about on a streaming video this past week
Speaker 2: five innings, seven strikeouts against Minnesota forty two percent. That's
Speaker 2: gonna change.
Speaker 3: He should be rolling.
Speaker 2: And how about our boy murlemurle mur game only three
Speaker 2: strikeouts at Colorado though forty four percent. The Diamondbacks pitchers
Speaker 2: really big turnaround between Soroka, Kelly, and Ryan Nelson all
Speaker 2: had big bounce backs here. Who do you buy the
Speaker 2: most though?
Speaker 3: Of those three? I think Merrill out of those three,
Speaker 3: I don't like throw Eduardo in there.
Speaker 2: I'd rather have Soroka over all of them in there.
Speaker 2: But when you throw Edwardo it does make it tougher.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think it's Meryl Kelly for me, just
Speaker 3: because it looks like he did find his command, which
Speaker 3: has been gone all year. So I was ready to
Speaker 3: bury Merril Kelly in a shallow grave like, but the
Speaker 3: command all came back. Let's see if he does it again, right.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I trust any of them really.
Speaker 3: Soroko for the strikeouts, probably the most. But I think
Speaker 3: Merril has been the most consistent over his career, so
Speaker 3: I probably would still go with Meryl out of that group.
Speaker 3: I just think I'm interested in all those guys, is
Speaker 3: like beyond just streamers. Yeah. Look, Ryan Nelson was really
Speaker 3: bad in his first like five starts, and he's been
Speaker 3: good last few, so uh he is still I'm still
Speaker 3: on the fence on Ryan Nelson. I feel nervous every
Speaker 3: time he takes the mound. All I know is a
Speaker 3: Brandon fot socks every time he's out there. Yeah, he stinks.
Speaker 2: The worst who does not stink recently is Roki Sazaki
Speaker 2: seven innings, eight strikeouts against the Angels, and I talked
Speaker 2: about on leaning Off today. What's really interesting is the
Speaker 2: stuff is up and he's changed his pitch mix and
Speaker 2: it's working. He's throwing this harder version of a slider.
Speaker 2: He's got this split finger in here he's and more
Speaker 2: so than what was happening last year is he's got
Speaker 2: control of the zone. He's actually changing the eye in
Speaker 2: the zone instead of everything going dead red. So Roki,
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not sure we're in a level where
Speaker 2: he's going to be a leader or anything like that,
Speaker 2: but he's looking much more like he could stick in
Speaker 2: the rotation. This is why you know you you want
Speaker 2: to give these guys time, you want to make them balance.
Speaker 2: He's just looking like a much better option. He's only
Speaker 2: thirty five, so I think I would be picking him
Speaker 2: up because he's got a better idea to stay in
Speaker 2: the rotation now with Snell out.
Speaker 3: This is also like, you know why maybe you wouldn't
Speaker 3: like Robleski a little bit right, is because look, I
Speaker 3: think Glass now is going to be first back with
Speaker 3: it because his back spasms is what he's for. The
Speaker 3: six man though they probably do uh but but like
Speaker 3: who's getting skipped on those days? You're going to skip
Speaker 3: some of those guys occasionally, probably skip Robleski. I mean
Speaker 3: you could skip or Sasaki. It's one of those, that's
Speaker 3: one of them.
Speaker 2: I don't know who yet, everythink I would think Sazaki
Speaker 2: is the guy at this point.
Speaker 3: But I do like the fact that Sassaki even was
Speaker 3: like things are starting to click for me after the game. So,
Speaker 3: and I think Justin Mason talked about this. It was
Speaker 3: either I think it might've been before last season, but
Speaker 3: he was talking about, you know, foreign pitchers coming over
Speaker 3: and he said they usually perform way better in their
Speaker 3: second season anyway, and I think we're kind of seeing
Speaker 3: that from Susak. How many innings did he even pitch
Speaker 3: last year? Fifty? Well, and then he had the playoff
Speaker 3: innings so too. So yeah, so I mean I think
Speaker 3: it might have been fifty total because I think he
Speaker 3: was under fifty for the regular season. I'm just looking
Speaker 3: at it here, thirty six and changed. I think it
Speaker 3: was forty point two.
Speaker 2: Oh that's this year, thirty six point one last year
Speaker 2: in the majors and then and.
Speaker 3: Then twenty and two thirds in the minors.
Speaker 2: So and that's so that's what like fifty and then
Speaker 2: there's probably like another fifteen at least in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: So like sixty five innings. So this is you know,
Speaker 3: we're kind of we're still very early in his career
Speaker 3: in the States, that's all. Yeah, But with him and
Speaker 3: Robleski like both.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe they piggyback those guys or something like that,
Speaker 2: like really interesting, But I know Sazaki is a guy
Speaker 2: would probably be speculatively picking up Jake Jack Lighter seven innings,
Speaker 2: six strikeouts against Houston at thirty two percent.
Speaker 3: I'm into that.
Speaker 2: Grant Homes six innings, four strikeouts versus Boston, and then
Speaker 2: you go into some lower owner ownership.
Speaker 3: Kate Cavally, though he still is he's a really.
Speaker 2: Interesting start six and one third, eight strikeouts, three and
Speaker 2: runs against Baltimore sixteen percent. Lucas Giolito came up five innings,
Speaker 2: three strikeouts.
Speaker 3: You also, have you right about that? I was not
Speaker 3: into it. You were right about Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know how like long term, I'm into that,
Speaker 2: but it was a working out now. But what I
Speaker 2: was gonna ask you is, then Connor pre Lip six innings,
Speaker 2: eight strikeouts.
Speaker 3: You have Kate Cavali, pre Lip in Giolito essentially all
Speaker 3: the same ownership percentage. You can only pick one. Who
Speaker 3: do you pick up? Probably pre Lip just I think
Speaker 3: he is the mystery box of ceiling. I think we
Speaker 3: kind of know what we have in Cavali, although it's
Speaker 3: a great year for him and probably gonna be his
Speaker 3: best year. I still think he's a little capped, and
Speaker 3: I don't want I don't want anything to do with Chilaito.
Speaker 3: Jillie Filo was three miles prour down from last year.
Speaker 3: He was throwing a ninety mile in hour fastball and
Speaker 3: he got away. I'm he's still again, you know that?
Speaker 3: To me, that probably means he's a mile and a
Speaker 3: half down over last year, eventually, since it was his
Speaker 3: first start and everything, but but still down. And I'm
Speaker 3: just not a geeleadal guy. So yeah, it's probably gonna
Speaker 3: be preliped for me and then Cavali and.
Speaker 2: Then some poopy starts Bubba Channel three innings, four and runs,
Speaker 2: three walks.
Speaker 3: We just gotta be down to it.
Speaker 2: You're dropping him, You're done, yep, done, done for Redraft,
Speaker 2: got nothing for me.
Speaker 3: He's a spot starter.
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams, Jamison tai On, Sorry, not the wider's here
Speaker 2: from the Lions. Five innings, eight earned runs, He got
Speaker 2: his tits lit Logan Gilbert six and two thirds, seven
Speaker 2: earned runs.
Speaker 3: He is just not yike existent this year. It's not great.
Speaker 2: Holder Soriano bogs five and one third six and run
Speaker 2: six walks, six strikeouts. The mark of the Beast start
Speaker 2: six and runs, six walks and six strikeouts. To his credit,
Speaker 2: he's still surface level, looks like a great picture, and
Speaker 2: he's era is still under three. But just pointing out
Speaker 2: the like, are we done with the conversation where we're like, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: you I'm a motor or Soriano like that still seems
Speaker 2: a little silly. But is a two four one era,
Speaker 2: a one point zero seven whip and a twenty eight
Speaker 2: percent k percentage.
Speaker 3: So like this is still a good picture. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: he's turning into a pumpkin a little bit Soriano or
Speaker 3: Wheeler wheeler.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so you didn't even hesitate like we were
Speaker 2: hesitating like a month ago everyone was doascinating about Sriano.
Speaker 3: Like, let's be real, well, look I think it for
Speaker 3: pictures specifically, you add something, you change something, you can
Speaker 3: become a completely different picture from your year. Doesn't really
Speaker 3: work like that for hitters. You know, sure you can
Speaker 3: lose it. You can mess something up in your mechanics
Speaker 3: or find something in your mechanics and change wholly and complete,
Speaker 3: holy and completely. But pictures are typically the ones that
Speaker 3: do that more often. So with a hot start, as
Speaker 3: hot as start as he had, it was kind of
Speaker 3: hard to deny it to begin. And he is turning
Speaker 3: into a pumpkin. And yes, I think when he was
Speaker 3: the number one overall player, you can probably argue with
Speaker 3: anyone that's in the top fifty. Now that he's, you know,
Speaker 3: a top twenty five player, now it's gonna be guys
Speaker 3: within the top one hundred you can argue. And it's
Speaker 3: just gonna get lower if he gets worse.
Speaker 2: Gury Perez five innings, five and runs, four walks five
Speaker 2: k's eury Prez or Sriana rest of the season. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is Soriano. Isn't that gross? Doesn't make you feel
Speaker 2: say it?
Speaker 3: You know what? It's funny. It's like, I feel like
Speaker 3: my calls this year have either been absolutely hits in
Speaker 3: absolute misses, and ury Perez is absolutely a massiveness. He
Speaker 3: has been awful. Yeah, he needs a change of scenery.
Speaker 3: Get him out of Miami. He's not getting a change
Speaker 3: of scenery. No, no chance. It's Sandy. It's going Uri.
Speaker 3: They're going to build around him.
Speaker 2: But I think he just needs to what he's weird
Speaker 2: though he I was doing the the breakdown on him too.
Speaker 2: His problem is just command like every pit his go
Speaker 2: look at it. If you ever look at this his
Speaker 2: heat map. I think you might have heard me talk
Speaker 2: about this on a heat map. It's like the pitches
Speaker 2: that are in the zone dead red, You've got some
Speaker 2: other pitches that are outside of the zone. His walk
Speaker 2: rate is up, his stuffed numbers are actually better year
Speaker 2: over year, but his pitching, uh plus, it's down.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I heard Tower talking about it, and I've seen it
Speaker 3: in a couple of his starts too, where it's like
Speaker 3: it's not many times where you've seen the catcher set
Speaker 3: up somewhere and have to go the opposite way. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he is like on so many pitches that he's thrown
Speaker 3: this year, it's crazy. Yeah, he just does not have
Speaker 3: a feel for them right now. So I would take
Speaker 3: Soriano two.
Speaker 2: Paul Sken's got roughed up five innings, five earned runs,
Speaker 2: seven strike cuts against Philly Brian Bao seven earned run.
Speaker 3: He's got to be done. Gotta be done. Tom Bao
Speaker 3: had like two or three starts that were okay. Uh
Speaker 3: you know, before this just absolute like one I think
Speaker 3: being annihilated. Was it just one because I'm maybe possible,
Speaker 3: but it's it's been majority bad. Because I was like,
Speaker 3: maybe we're coming around, And then I saw this one. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know what. It was two starts in a row.
Speaker 3: He had quality starts, seven strikeouts in seven innings and
Speaker 3: one earned run against at Detroit and then against Billy
Speaker 3: A good start, but I mean Atlanta massacred him for seven.
Speaker 2: Runs by by George Kirby was bad. Five and two thirds,
Speaker 2: six earned runs. I don't even know what to do
Speaker 2: about these guys. And Grayson Rodriguez. I was laughing with
Speaker 2: Joe on this one because he was like, all about
Speaker 2: Grayson starting. I was like, brother, there's no against the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter who it was. I would not start Grayson,
Speaker 3: but the Dodgers. No. At three and two thirds seven
Speaker 3: earned runs and four walks against the Dodgers. Yeah, that's tough.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess if he had, if he had
Speaker 3: like killed his rehab starts or something, you could feel
Speaker 3: confident about him. But Jesus, not that against the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Thanks in the closing world, we had some blown save losses.
Speaker 2: Sir Anthony Dominguez. A blown save on the seventeenth Lucas
Speaker 2: erseg on the fifteenth with the blown save, David Bednar
Speaker 2: another one seventeenth.
Speaker 3: Pete fair be old, Yeah, I was afraid of Bednar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you really were unsaved with a win. Though for
Speaker 2: Pete Fairbanks and Gregory Soto had a blown save on
Speaker 2: fifty one in the fifth or five and the fifteenth.
Speaker 2: I'm still on soda as a joke. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I have any worries really about any of these guys.
Speaker 2: I don't love Bednard getting two blown saves back to back, but.
Speaker 3: I thinks Sir Anthony c is getting a little warm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they could always I mean they've been stretching Grant
Speaker 2: Taylor out, so I guess he couldn't get there.
Speaker 3: But there's They've got the green arrow on Sean Neukom
Speaker 3: because he he doesn't have any saves yet, but his
Speaker 3: the ra is two six oh yeah, actually has one
Speaker 3: save my bad and three holds, so I don't know.
Speaker 3: His strikeout percentage isn't crazy. I'd rather have Grant Taylor
Speaker 3: in that role, but he blew a save when given
Speaker 3: a chance on Tuesday, so last Tuesday, so I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they're doing there, but it's ugly. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and they're winning. They're over five hundred for the first
Speaker 3: time in like thirteen hundred days. Absolutely whatever.
Speaker 2: Imagine if they became buyers, I know, that's what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like this should offer closer Kyle Teal and Brad Montgomery
Speaker 2: for Garrett Crush, the Red Sox sinsor sellers.
Speaker 3: Do you get the joke there? Yeah, yeah, traded for
Speaker 3: that's literly what they traded for. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: There's a chase mydraw too. They could throw in this
Speaker 2: piece non closer saves. Tyler Rodgers ended up getting that.
Speaker 2: Varlin had twenty six the night before, So I don't
Speaker 2: think there's much there. Tj Antone continues to just red situation.
Speaker 2: They're one of the worst bullpens in baseball.
Speaker 3: I've heard you talking about how they should trade everything
Speaker 3: for oldest Chapman.
Speaker 2: They just like they have so much volume of minor leaguers.
Speaker 2: Unless the Red Sox don't want to like get out,
Speaker 2: how could they not want to get out of the
Speaker 2: business of just a thirty seven, thirty eight year old closer,
Speaker 2: Like when you.
Speaker 3: Know who's great, who they should trade for? Paul cy
Speaker 3: Walt's been playing great. Sure trade for Paul sy Wall please.
Speaker 2: Yeah we got pucking Justin Martinez coming back. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: Jeremiah Strada got a save. That's nothing. Burger Matt Gage
Speaker 2: ended up getting one. George Soriano, Richard Lovely. Is there
Speaker 2: anybody in the non closer department that got saves? It mean,
Speaker 2: I mean, antone's probably the most like real event because
Speaker 2: they're just like, I mean, they're about they're about to
Speaker 2: do public tryouts for players.
Speaker 3: You imagine the red sign. Trevor Bauer by the way,
Speaker 3: oh brought him back, Like that's how desperate make him
Speaker 3: a closer?
Speaker 4: Uh? He may.
Speaker 3: He'll make Pa look like he was giving the lady
Speaker 3: flowers halfway through the year. I'm maybe maybe love Lady
Speaker 3: like Varlin. But he wasn't good in his save either.
Speaker 3: He got one out and he loaded the bases. There
Speaker 3: was already guy on. He walked one and gave up
Speaker 3: a hit. Uh yeah, I don't know that there's much here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I agree, they're all bad situations.
Speaker 2: Go get Rico, Rico Garcia, go pick him up right now, Rico,
Speaker 2: if that's what you gotta do, and.
Speaker 3: There you go. That is the episode.
