Hello and episode 1447 of The Sleeper in the Bust.

It is Friday, August 29th.

I'm your host, Paul Sporer.

Join this afternoon by Justin Mason.

Justin, how's it going?

It's going.

End of the month, which means a busy day in my day job and holiday weekend coming up.

So that just compounds things. So it was a little bit

difficult to even get on the episode. So hopefully we can just bang this out and get ready for

the last month of the season. Last month of the season, we get a holiday weekend. We're ready to

roll. We did have to push our Thursday episode covering the rest of the meatball, but that's still going to be fresh even next week. So Joe, Justin, and I will get together next week, finish that up with the pitchers, but we didn't want to leave you all hanging with two steps going into the holidays. So let's go ahead and get into it. We're going to start with those that were auto starting. And I realize I should have been saying these kind of every week because somebody had a question about Max Scherzer and I'm like, well, yeah, he's an auto starting. It's like, well, he is kind of debatable in some formats. So I should at least name these. So we'll do this going forward for the rest of this year and then, of course, starting next year. So Ryan Nelson, Brian Bayo, Hunter Green, Noah, Cameron, Max Fried, Dylan, Seas, Luis Castillo, and Sunny Gray,

I'm not questioning them anywhere. And that doesn't mean that you have to start them in your

shallower formats, but that they're not really up for debate in terms of can I start them.

They're on the table everywhere for me. And so we don't really need to spend time on them.

So let's start with Luis Morales

for the athletics. Double dip on the road at St. Louis at the Angels are both being on the road

enough to get you anywhere near Morales. Nice prospect, but still having some command issues

that are prevalent with rookies. What do you think about him?

Oh, man, like, he's coming off of some pretty impressive starts here.

Like, he went from only going two innings to all of a sudden he is dominating.

It's like I almost don't know how you don't use him especially

he cut up my guys his great outing against tigers. I was so impressed. Uh, yeah. And like I said,
