| 0:25.7 | What's up friends are welcome in to leading off right here on fantasy pros? I am Chris Welsh. That is Joe Rico. We got you for the last show of August. Joe, I'm, my head is all over the place. I just did a tweet and I was like, all right, hey, let's get it. Last show of September. No, no, no, no, no, edit tweet. Last show of October, no, no, it's August. It's the last show of August is what we're doing here. |
| 0:28.5 | 1,200 revised tweets. |
| 0:30.6 | I can't get my head straight because there's so much going on. There's a lot going on in baseball. |
| 0:34.2 | We're going to be talking about all the latest as we usually do. We're going to do some prep for next week. |
| 0:39.2 | We're going to talk about some two-star pitchers. We got our best bets of the day and we're going to be looking to |
| 0:43.6 | answer some of your questions so as always I would tell the chat you guys got some final |
| 0:48.0 | questions in here do it I'm going to be marking them we're going to hit it here shortly |
| 0:52.0 | we're going to be answering those for your |
| 0:53.4 | playoff runs or your run into the playoff. Mr. Joe Rico, what's up buddy? |
| 0:57.6 | It's pretty crazy that August is already done, man. I know we kind of do this every |
| 1:00.9 | year. It's like I can't believe it's already June I can't |
| 1:02.6 | believe it's already July but the season is really winding down like there might be |
| 1:06.5 | some people this is their championship week it's just always crazy how quickly |
| 1:09.8 | the season goes by in any sport well and you know as we say a lot of the time too I think |
| 1:16.1 | there's another step at another level that is really interesting for this time of |
| 1:21.0 | a year even if you're not like heavily involved in playoffs. I mean let's be honest. |
| 1:25.5 | Probably not consuming fantasy baseball if you're eliminated from playoffs but there is this |
| 1:29.5 | opportunity that's going on right now where you get to kind of lock into players that a lot of people are just not going to know like we kind of jokingly do it with Pizapia because he's off into football land and no baseball. But in reality there are players over this last month, |
| 1:45.3 | there's six weeks that are going to start to pop and their value is not going to be realized. |
| 1:51.4 | Sometimes it does happen, but it'll happen like in March or February when everyone really |
| 1:56.6 | locks in. So there's this opportunity in dynasties to get in early or if you're going to do, you know, some really early |
