0:00.0 | Alright, it's week 22 or almost in December. It is crunch time ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to fantasy baseball today. Scott, how was Braveheart? |
0:23.0 | Oh, it was just as I remembered it. Come on. One thing to do this weekend, you could be. |
0:31.0 | I'm telling you, life is a little complicated right now. Not a lot of three hour windows for movies. Maybe, maybe, you know, maybe when I go on on my paternity leave, I can watch it in like segments, like half hour segments. |
0:45.0 | I don't do that. I can report back to you after it's over. Now that's the worst way to do it. Good morning. He's how you doing. Welcome to the show. |
0:51.0 | You know, really weird. I don't watch movies that often, but I had a crazy Friday night writing crazy Saturday writing and then of course the fight Saturday night. So yesterday I watched two movies. |
1:03.0 | Oh, yes, we watched Kong. Skull Island. The newest Kong. How is that? |
1:12.0 | It was pretty good. It was entertaining for sure. And then we watched the new King Arthur movie. |
1:20.0 | Yeah, no interest in either. That's really no interest. So wait, you're complaining about how busy you were. You watched two movies that nobody should watch. |
1:29.0 | No, King Arthur was a very reviewed very well. It was a, it lost the kids interest. So I'm sure Adam wouldn't like it. |
1:38.0 | It was a, it was a pretty good movie. All right. Good to know. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed your weekend. I watched Game of Thrones, which was movie length last night. |
1:46.0 | But watched a lot of football and a little bit of baseball. And here we go. Let's get into who we added and dropped on fantasy baseball. Today you want to win your baseball league. |
1:54.0 | You don't care about Kong and all that stuff. Well, I added Edwin Diaz and our head to head points league. Drops Zack Britain saw Brad Brock got the stadium. |
2:04.0 | Yeah, should have a Britain either way. You know, he needs to be dropped in a lot of shallow leagues. But the thing is here, I'm going to start Edwin Diaz over Jamison Tyrone. |
2:13.0 | I'm going to move Brad peacock to starting pitcher Tyrone. Three bad starts out of four against the reds this year. Mostly bad start. So I'm sitting Tyrone starting. |
2:22.0 | I picked up Eddie Rosario. I picked up Tray Mancini. I obviously read Scott's hitter column. Yeah, they're both in. Yeah. Yeah. Who should I start? Mancini or Rosario? I'm thinking Mancini has got the seventh game. |
2:35.0 | Well, Mancini is ranked ahead of Rosario on that list. Although Rosario and Mancini are both ranked ahead of Byron Bustin. |
2:44.0 | But based on what transpired yesterday, I would now start Bustin over both. |
2:51.0 | Yeah, let's talk about this here. Bustin three home runs yesterday. And I try to pick him up. But I did not get him 75% owned. He's batting 330 with eight home runs and eight steals in August, but five walks 25 strikeouts. How confident are you? |
3:07.0 | I'm buying a Bustin this week, guys. This particular week, like I am. I agree with Scott. I would put him ahead of both of those guys. He led off the waiver wire column today. I think it's amazing that after the three home or game after Sunday night Monday waivers, which is presumably the busiest waivers night of the week. He's still available in 25% of leagues. Yeah. |
3:29.0 | What are you people waiting on? It's just it's true. Like Hoskins reshowskins is now like 88% owned. So Bustin could go a little higher. But it's so at least 88% of fantasy owners. Well, at least owners and 88% of leagues are paying attention. Right. Exactly. It's just this time of year. You know, you do. It's a good thing right now because guys that shouldn't be available on waivers are available on waivers and the players. The teams who are still in it. The fantasy people who are still in it right now could take advantage of that. So 75%. |
3:58.0 | So the numbers just put them out there. Last 16 games, 355 batting average now eight home runs, five stolen bases. And his I pointed this out on Friday show. You know, he had a he had a great September last year and made us kind of hopeful coming into this year. At least made me that way. But his strikeout rate for that month was 33% and it's only like 25% in August. So there are. |
4:26.0 | There's reason to buy this beyond just, you know, the fact that he's hitting a bunch of home runs in a short period of time. I read also that he eliminated a leg kick from his swing. So there it is. That's always a key. |
