00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Welcome, welcome back everybody to a special midweek episode of Four Guys and Still No Clue.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
We're just going through, we're doing a playoff team tier list.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
We're going to go through every playoff team, I guess every real team, probably not much about the Royals and the A's,

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
but we're going to go through every potential playoff team and we're going to rank them and see who really has a chance and who doesn't.

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Spoiler, the O's are probably going to be pretty high up there. Let's get into it.

6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Kenji, I love your dance moves. Yeah, welcome back everybody. We just barely finished recording the episode you guys just got on Monday.

7
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
We're going to drop this in the middle of the week. We're going to go through and do a little tier list of all the playoff teams.

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:53,000
We're just going to start from scratch. We're going to name the different tiers and then we're going to organize the teams into them all 30 style.

9
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Should we just hop right into it? Let's get into it. Everybody's doing good. We just finished recording. Everybody's still good? Kenji, you still good?

10
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Yeah. Kenji was eating watermelon in the most violent, ferocious way possible off camera.

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:18,000
I'm sure the viewers would love to see that one. Yeah, we'll do maybe a Kenji ASMR down the line.

12
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I can fill a future.

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Okay. All right. Let us know in the comments if you want Kenji watermelon eating.

14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:36,000
I eat well. Wow. What are we doing? You know what? Okay, Wander Franco. Let's go straight through.

15
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:45,000
What do we want to name the tiers? D tier? I feel like D tier could either be Tim Anderson or Wander Franco's decision making.

16
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:52,000
But Wander Franco's decision making might be a little too long. So we could stick to Tim Anderson. Tim Anderson's hands.

17
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Let's do T.A.'s chin. Yep, I like it. T.A.'s chin, I like it. All right, there we go.

18
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
So for S tier, should we do J.Ram's hands then or? No, that's S tier. Come on. Yeah. No, that's what he said. He said S tier.

19
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Yeah. J.Ram's hands. J.Ram's hands. Me, his J.Ram's right hook. Yeah, there you go.

20
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,000
J.Ram's right hook. Okay. C tier, should we just go like probably out of it? So then what's a good thing for that?

21
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Wander's MLB career. Wander's career.

22
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:42,000
B.E. since this is the middle, we should probably make this like a normal term so people can refer to it.

23
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Am I supposed to be editing this? If you want as you go, but you know, me too, because we're just going to do it.

24
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
I'm the one that's recording. Joe's the one that's doing all the real fun stuff. If you want to follow along, you can do it too. Yeah, follow along at home, everybody.

25
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Yeah, go to www.tiermaker.com. There you go.

26
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Yeah. B tier, Joe, any ideas for B tier? Just something mid? I don't know. Just like above average chains or I don't know.

27
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Mid, mid. I was just saying in the hunt. In the hunt. Okay. In the hunt.

28
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:27,000
And then A tier, like it could be probably in.

29
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:36,000
It could be squeaking there. Guys or teams squeaking their way in. But squeaking. It's like big chance.

30
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Yeah.

31
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Making the playoffs or postseason. I don't even know.

32
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,000
I'm trying to come up with something corny or something funny.

33
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Gary Sanchez in garbage type.

34
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Jrem's hands is the first one. That could be A and then S tier could be like Castellanos during a tragedy. Yes.

35
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in.

36
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Let's just do that then. I love it. I'm ready. Tragedy and Castellanos. Yep.

37
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Okay. Joe, who's the first team up on the list? Who are we covering first? So we got the Yankees up and...

38
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Tim Anderson's chin. Lock it in. That was quick.

39
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Yankees aren't making the playoffs. Sorry guys. We have some Yankee friends. Not happy.

40
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
I mean do we need to elaborate any more? They just lost A straight. Hopefully losing more.

41
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Hopefully. One can dream. Yeah. Agreed. Okay. Kenji, anything on the Yankees?

42
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,000
They should quit.

43
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Yeah. Alright. Tim Anderson's chin. Yankees. Alright. Next up we got the Seattle Mariners.

44
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Is this team right in between Jrem and in the hunt? Yeah. I think. I do. Cause they're in it right now.

45
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000
But it just kinda depends. I think they, unless Toronto or Boston kick it in gear, they'll stay.

46
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,000
That's the problem. I think in the hunt is where I want to put them. They were so bad for so much of the year.

47
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,000
I can't, I can't, even though they played great lately, I can't in good conscience say that they're like a consistent threat.

48
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Oh yeah. I agree. In the hunt. Okay. In the hunt. Next up, Tampa Bay.

49
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:49,000
That's gonna be Jrem's hands. Yeah. It's gotta be. They were so hot, but they kind of flatlined a little bit.

50
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,000
But we'll see. I worry about them in the playoffs cause they've had so many injuries, especially just starting pitching.

51
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,000
But they're the Rays, you never know. They could call up some dude from the same building tomorrow and he pitches to a 1.2 yard radius and everything.

52
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Yeah. That pitching program is just unbelievable. Rays are outstanding. The Rays are really good. They're outstanding.

53
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Jrem's hands. Okay. That's up Blue Jays.

54
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:19,000
I think they go right with Seattle though, cause it's one of those where one of them is going to squeak in.

55
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Yeah. I think Toronto really should play a lot better than they have. They should be playing better than they have.

56
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:38,000
That's where I agree. All right. Next up Miami. Are they in the hunt? They're in the hunt. They are in the hunt.

57
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,000
What are they doing the same as Seattle? They've kind of been on a decline too though.

58
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
But they're like up and down. Seattle's just like a click.

59
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Josh Bell's playing good. Jake Berger. They swept the Yanks too. So I mean you can never count them out.

60
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000
They were really bad after the trade deadline, but after that they've been picking it up. So you can never count them out.

61
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Yeah. We'll put them in the hunt. So that was Seattle right? Wait, where did you guys put the Blue Jays?

62
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Blue Jays were in the hunt. That's B tier. Cardinals. Cardinals.

63
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Not for this year. They're lower than Tim Ayers. Yeah. There should be another two.

64
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000
I mean, I hate the Yankees, but the Yankees, they should be in Wanderer's career.

65
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,000
You know what? They should. I don't agree with that, but I think...

66
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Let's be honest about this. They are on their way out the door, but they're not like...the door isn't completely shut.

67
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000
The Cardinals have been so bad, the door is completely shut. Yeah. It's just like Wanderer's career, you know?

68
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Yeah. Like most likely it's most likely over, but you never know. Maybe not. Yeah.

69
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Maybe just not quite yet. But maybe not. Yeah. All right. Next up. I really hate this team. We got the Houston Astros.

70
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,000
That's a J-Ram for me. Yeah. It's got to be. Unanimous. I think that's an easy one.

71
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,000
It's got to be. Their pitching is good on any...on half-decent day. Yeah.

72
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Pitching talk about their offense, too. It's ridiculous. Is the J-Ram below the Nick Castellanos thing? Yep.

73
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Yes. Yeah. So those Castellanos is your S tier. That's like the best of the best.

74
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
J-Ram is going to be like teams that should be in the playoffs. Could make a run.

75
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
You want to put the Astros with the very top? No. Because they're like, oh...

76
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,000
They just got swept on the Seattle. That's true. But their Ross are so good, though.

77
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,000
It is. It is good if they can avoid injury. I think J-Ram is good for them. Yep. I do.

78
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,000
And then what was it? In the Hunt was just like middle of like you guys are on the borderline of a wild card.

79
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:45,000
You guys have struggled out of the end of the All-Star break. And then Timur is just...you're out.

80
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000
You're gone. You're gone. TKO. Get out of here. Yep. Joe, who's next?

81
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Next up, we got Atlanta straight to Castellanos. That's the easiest one. Yep.

82
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
This next one's easy too. We got Baltimore. That's a Castellanos.

83
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
That's going to...no, that's going to... Tim Anderson's chin.

84
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,000
30 games over 500 is different, man. 30 over... They're different.

85
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:16,000
They go like Nick Castellanos and Tragedy. I don't even know if I spelled Castellanos right.

86
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Totally not. Castellanos. Castellanos. Yeah, I got it right. Gave some grief.

87
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Yeah, I mean, I could see them going in J-Ram just because I think frankly, they will be not favored.

88
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
They won't be favored in playoff games. Like I can see Vegas not liking them in playoff games.

89
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000
You think it's because of your starting pitching? Yeah. It's just like kind of mid. Absolutely. Yeah.

90
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:46,000
On the side note, did you guys see Kyle Bradish today tied Garrett Cole for the AL lead in ERA?

91
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Congratulations. Yeah. Thanks. I appreciate it. Was it like the two sixes?

92
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:00,000
3.03, I think. That's the highest right now? The best ERA in AL. That's the lowest. That's crazy.

93
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Well, Garrett Cole did just get six runs put up on him by the Red Sox. That'll probably do it.

94
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Yeah. No, that's the lowest ERA this year. No, we don't feel bad for the Yankees.

95
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:17,000
We never feel bad for the Yankees. Not at all. Absolutely not. Okay. Moving on.

96
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:25,000
We got Cleveland, the Guardians. Dude, they've fallen off our game. They're six pack.

97
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000
They're the same as the Yanks in this total. Send them to Wander's career. Yeah.

98
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,000
They really could do it, but ever since they had a lot of talent. They sold at the deadline.

99
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Downhill. Not even the trade deadline since the All-Star break. Yeah.

100
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,000
That's with Josh and they're being hurt now for them. They just got no hope. Yeah, that is hurt.

101
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Yeah. It's tough. All right. Next up. Moving on. We got Colorado. These are some easy ones coming up.

102
00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:01,000
That's a check. Wow. Give it up. Very bottom, right? Rockies. Very bottom. Yep. Rockies. Very bottom.

103
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:08,000
D tier hurt. Yeah. Next up Detroit. Ooh, the Detroit Tigers have been hot though.

104
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000
I think they keep seven and six. They're not. They're 12 games out of a wild card.

105
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,000
They're not in contention at all. I still think we should put them in Wander's career.

106
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,000
I think they're not doing it. They're not going anywhere. They're not going anywhere at all.

107
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
They're not. But why would we put it in? They're more. They are more competitive.

108
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,000
The Yankees or the Guardians right now. Yeah. And the Cardinals, which by mile.

109
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Like they're competitive right now. Sure. Okay. I'll put them in Wander's career for now.

110
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,000
We might have to adjust. Yeah, we can adjust. That's the thing. That's kind of crazy.

111
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,000
But whatever. Yeah, that's a hot take. I'm not saying they're doing anything.

112
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000
I'm just saying they're more competitive than the teams at the bottom. That's fair.

113
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,000
That's fair. Okay. Kansas City. Tim Anderson's chin. Yep. See you guys. Sorry. See you.

114
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:06,000
All right. Next up, Milwaukee. They have the division right now.

115
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,000
They do have the division. It's close to Cincinnati, but not as close as you think.

116
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,000
I still think they're going to end up with the division. I don't think they're really going to do anything in the postseason.

117
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:24,000
So I'd put them in right in the middle. Is it a J-RAM though? No, I don't think it is.

118
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Are we positive about that? No, but they have the division.

119
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Joe and Kenji, what's your take? Are the Brewers in the hunt team or are they like in a tier one?

120
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000
I think they're in the hunt. Yeah. They got. Okay. They're competitive on occasionally.

121
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,000
I think they're starting pitching Bermond and Woodruff. Oh yeah. I think they can make a run.

122
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,000
And Freddie pitching the way he has been. But the lineup isn't going to kill anybody.

123
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Okay. All right. I'll go in the hunt for this one. I'll go in the hunt. I will. I'll concede.

124
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Are you thinking of doing a J-RAM for Milwaukee, Gabe? I was. I was considering J-RAM for Milwaukee.

125
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Because the thing is they have the division. They do. But it's the NL mid. It is the NL mid.

126
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
So they're still going to make the postseason. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. They will.

127
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:22,000
But to me that doesn't mean that much though, right? It's just they don't have much fight in the postseason.

128
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:28,000
They don't have a lot of firepower. They're going to have to go up against the best wild card team.

129
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:35,000
And they're not better than the Blue Jays. Yeah, you're right. I mean, they're only three up on the Cubs for first place in that division.

130
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,000
I think that's the same thing. The Cubs are really hot right now. So they're going to go cold sometime. Yeah.

131
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,000
And since the Cubs are just putting it together at a perfect time. Yeah, since he's there too. Since he's falling apart.

132
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000
All right. You know what? We'll just go. We'll go with. Although they're probably going to win the division. Let's just go with in the hunt.

133
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Okay. That makes sense for me. Okay. Next up, Angels.

134
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Give him a chin. All right. No, they're on Wander's career. Wander's career. Aren't they in the hunt?

135
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:12,000
No, not really. No, no. They are. He had an over took him. Oh, they're gone. It would take a miracle.

136
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000
It's a wrap. Eight and a half back in the stages. His name is Mike Trout. Yeah, that's. And him I trust.

137
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Even when Mike Trout comes back, there's just not enough time. Yeah. They're on their way.

138
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:30,000
I trust. Not even going to look at this next one. That's an easy one. Oakland straight to T.H.'s chin.

139
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Yeah. Same for the next one. Phillies. Absolutely. Is that wrong?

140
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Phillies are in the hunt. In the hunt. I can absolutely make a case for JRAM. Let's hear it.

141
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:53,000
The only reason that we aren't in contention for our division right now is because it's the Atlanta Braves.

142
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Look at what they're doing. Like, we can't even compete with that.

143
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:06,000
But when we play them, we're beating them head to head in our series. Against the Atlanta Braves. Yes.

144
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:16,000
We are winning our head to head matchup against the best team in baseball in our own division.

145
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:22,000
And they're the only reason we can't climb anywhere. We're 13 games behind them. And we're in second place.

146
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:28,000
It says that Braves are 4-2 against you guys this year.

147
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Since when? I feel like we play so well against them. That's the thing.

148
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
We have two more series to go.

149
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Okay, let's just say this. This is how we should do it. Do you guys think the Phillies are better than Seattle, Marlins, Toronto, and Milwaukee?

150
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Absolutely no. I think they're better than Toronto.

151
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
I think Toronto is better. I think they're up there with the Rays and the Astros.

152
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Absolutely. Are we kidding? We made the world's first question here.

153
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Yeah, last year doesn't mean jack crap, Brady.

154
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Yeah, it still shows the depth and talent we have.

155
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:11,000
They can go on and run. I just don't think at this stage...

156
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
We got caught around this time last year and look where we made it.

157
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Brady, at this stage, I just don't trust them, bro. I don't.

158
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:25,000
They are 3-up. I can see the case you're trying to make. I just don't think they're on par with the likes of Tampa and Houston.

159
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,000
They're not a feared team like Houston is, right?

160
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Everybody fears playing Houston.

161
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
You see that lineup? Are you kidding?

162
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Give me two more good weeks and then I can put you up there, Brady.

163
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Yeah, give me a whole month of Trey Turner remembering how to play baseball again and then I think it works.

164
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
I mean, that's one player on our team.

165
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Is Trey Turner hot? Yes, absolutely, because that guy is a game changer.

166
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
That's one player on our team, though.

167
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Yeah, but he makes such a big difference, though.

168
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
We threw a no-hitter last week.

169
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
It says you're 5-5 in your last 10.

170
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,000
So did Houston. That's the thing. Houston and the Phillies threw a no-hitter.

171
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
I'm looking at the Phillies schedule.

172
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Hey, hey, Hermann, whatever that dude on the Yankees threw a no-hitter.

173
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:17,000
The worst guy you've ever seen just to play a game. Yeah.

174
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:25,000
So you might lose the series to the Nationals. You split with the Blue Jays. You lost the series to the Twins.

175
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,000
That'll do it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

176
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Give me two weeks of real solid play and then I will feel good about it because you did make the World Series.

177
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:46,000
But two out of three to the Twins, splitting with the Blue Jays and losing a series to the Nationals is just not like Tampa and Houston behavior.

178
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,000
I don't know. I mean, yeah. I don't know.

179
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:57,000
I don't know. At the Pirates, you lost two out of three. Didn't Tampa lose the series to the Oakland A's?

180
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,000
Yeah, the Braves did earlier this year. I'm just saying, we're talking of late.

181
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:08,000
You guys can absolutely make a run. You swept Tampa last month. We talked about that on the show.

182
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
But then you went immediately from sweeping Tampa. You lost two out of three to Miami.

183
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000
You lost two out of three to the Brewers. You lost two out of three to the Guardians.

184
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Then you got two out of three from the O's and then lost two out of three to the Pirates.

185
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000
I don't think I just see any consistency. Yeah, I don't see any consistency.

186
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
It's kind of tough. Yeah. Okay. So I think we can all agree.

187
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000
The top four is the consistent winner. I will never agree to this, but you can put them there.

188
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
On Brady's list, they're J-Ram, but on our list, they're not. It's in the hunk.

189
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:49,000
All right. Final answer. Okay. Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh.

190
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Yeah, they're... They have Paul Skeens.

191
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Brady, you want to make a case for Paul Skeens?

192
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:01,000
It's Pittsburgh. All right. I'm going to say, I'm going to go with Wander.

193
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:06,000
For Pittsburgh? Well, they're not Kansas City, Oakland caliber.

194
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,000
Yeah. Pause. Yeah. Nope. They're pretty bad.

195
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Joseph. All right. Joseph. Momo.

196
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
I just like the Pirates. Joseph, no way.

197
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Hey, you can make a case. You can make a case for them.

198
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Minus 94 on differential. All right.

199
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,000
55 and 69. They're 55 and 69.

200
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000
But yeah, they're bad. They're literally... Joe, for reference,

201
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,000
they are seven games above Colorado for the worst record in the National League.

202
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Okay. But then there's also Kansas City who has 40 wins.

203
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
They have 16 more wins than Kansas City.

204
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
And Oakland has 34.

205
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Yeah. And the Pirates got 55.

206
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Are we saying they're on their way out the door or they just... they're done?

207
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000
I think they're done, man. I'm sorry.

208
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,000
They're done, but they're not as bad as Oakland or Kansas City.

209
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
That's all I'm saying.

210
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
I don't think they're...

211
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
I don't think the cards are on Tim Anderson's chin and I have the same record.

212
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,000
I think Pittsburgh stays down there. I don't want to get held up on the Pittsburgh Pirates.

213
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
San Diego Padres, Wander's career.

214
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Yeah.

215
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,000
I think that's a gimme.

216
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,000
That hurts to put them there though.

217
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:23,000
I know. They should not be there. They should be at J-Ram or the Castellanos level easily.

218
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,000
But based on how they're playing and where they're at, you can't do that.

219
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,000
Rangers. Ooh.

220
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,000
I want to hear what everyone has to say.

221
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,000
Joe's going to hold his...

222
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000
Before the All-Star break, 100% without a doubt, I would have put them in Nick Castellanos' rank.

223
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Before?

224
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Yeah, but right now, I just don't know.

225
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Why do you think that, Kenji? I want to hear you out.

226
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000
I mean, when I watch them play, it's like most of the lineups just forgot how to hit.

227
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:58,000
It seems like... the consistency of the Rangers offense, I don't know what the stats are or what...

228
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000
But I'm sure you guys are hitting compared to the first half of the season is just very different.

229
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,000
It has to be.

230
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Yeah, it has been different. And part of that has been due to injury.

231
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Yeah.

232
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,000
And so if we can stay healthy, I think we're S-tier.

233
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Bottom line, I think that's it.

234
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000
I think that they are going to be... I'm going to put them at J-Ram.

235
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:30,000
Losing three straight to Milwaukee, who we also put in the hunt, is not a good look. And with their injuries, I don't think I can put them...

236
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Alright. Well, we swept Tampa and Miami.

237
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,000
But we swept Tampa, too.

238
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Come on.

239
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
We swept...

240
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000
You guys also lost two to three out of Miami.

241
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Yeah, but we beat Miami earlier in the year, too.

242
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
What's your point?

243
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
We swept Miami.

244
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,000
You're fine with me.

245
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
We played five different series against Miami.

246
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000
I love it.

247
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,000
You guys played one.

248
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:58,000
I feel like, and I'm going to say like, kind of like the complete raw. So like, I don't know, because they have a better record than with Houston, right?

249
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Yeah, they do.

250
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Right now.

251
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,000
They did by two and a half games.

252
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
What about the Rays? What's their record compared to the Rays?

253
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,000
They're below... They're behind Texas.

254
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Here's the thing. We either have to put Houston in the A-tier or Texas in the A-tier.

255
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Because they're in the same division. They're fighting against each other in the regular season.

256
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Joe, I don't disagree.

257
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Can I time out?

258
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Yeah.

259
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Real quick.

260
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
That's like saying, oh, we're in the same division as the Atlanta Braves. Let's move us up a tier.

261
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
But it's not two and a half games. It's nine games for you.

262
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Yeah.

263
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
Yeah, I know. But you're saying the same thing.

264
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
But not really, because they're two and a half games back.

265
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,000
That's like saying everyone in the A-East should be up a tier from everyone else.

266
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
At least.

267
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
I don't know.

268
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
No, because two and a half games is very important.

269
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
I think there's J-Ram for me. I just don't...

270
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,000
I agree.

271
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,000
They're four and six in their last 10. They've lost four straight.

272
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
You guys just don't hit the team.

273
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
They lost four straight, but they also won eight straight before that.

274
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,000
That's true, though.

275
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,000
That's true, though.

276
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Texas is good. I have your schedule up right here.

277
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,000
I don't think they're as scary as they were at the beginning of the year.

278
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
It was because of injury. But all our players are going to come back.

279
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
If you beat the White Sox at home, you swept the White Sox at home,

280
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000
the Marlins at home, and then went to Oakland and won two out of three.

281
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
With all due respect, that's not like...

282
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,000
If you would have won...

283
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,000
We also won to the Giants. We won two out of three from the Giants.

284
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
We swept Tampa before that as well.

285
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,000
That's not an easy one.

286
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Listen, I'm not hating. Maybe I am a little bit.

287
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
I just think they're jaded.

288
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Yeah, you are.

289
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
I just don't... I don't think they're in Casiano's tier yet.

290
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Because they haven't shown the tendency to...

291
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
They have these big spurts where they rake and they can blow anybody out.

292
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,000
But then they also have them where they get swept by Milwaukee.

293
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
And you're like, what happened?

294
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Sure. All right.

295
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,000
But if the injuries weren't there, I would probably...

296
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Yeah, if the injuries weren't there...

297
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,000
That's where it's hard.

298
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Because you can't put it in injuries because that's not fair.

299
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Because there's nothing you can do about it.

300
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,000
If we got a foot foster, they would be unreal.

301
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Right now, they would be so good.

302
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,000
At one point, I think we had Seeger, Haim, and Iovaldi on the IL.

303
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,000
That already is just a huge blow.

304
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
That was Joe's roster.

305
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
That was my roster in fantasy.

306
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Yeah.

307
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I don't think anyone else belongs in S tier.

308
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,000
I'm going to just say that right now.

309
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
I think one more belongs in S tier.

310
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Yeah, we got to do one more.

311
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,000
I think one more belongs in S tier.

312
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
I think that's even two Cooprance leaders.

313
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
The Red Sox.

314
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Beautiful.

315
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,000
In the hunt for the Red Sox.

316
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Yeah.

317
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Yep.

318
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Does anybody disagree?

319
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
They just swept the Yankees.

320
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Does anybody disagree with Red Sox?

321
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,000
No, they're in the hunt for sure.

322
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Nope.

323
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
They're not consistent enough to put them anywhere higher.

324
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
I don't worry about them making a run in the playoffs,

325
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
but I think they could sneak in with the three wild card teams.

326
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Dodgers.

327
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
It's weird to prove in the hunt because they're such a terrible roster,

328
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,000
but they grind.

329
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Dude.

330
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Their pitching is really good.

331
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,000
I think they're betting against Freddie Freeman and that pitching stuff.

332
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Well, see, my thing is they were so bad to start the year that you, I don't know.

333
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Another hawk.

334
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,000
They just won like another hawk.

335
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000
How about the Dodgers?

336
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Oh, I know.

337
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000
The Dodgers.

338
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000
We're going Dodgers.

339
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Wait, you guys got the Giants?

340
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000
We'll do them next.

341
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Dodgers.

342
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Oh, okay.

343
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000
I just said the Giants in the hunt because they're...

344
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,000
They said Giants in the hunt.

345
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
I think the Dodgers are an S right now.

346
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,000
It's crazy.

347
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
They're in the wild card currently.

348
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Yeah, see, so Giants, I think they're in the hunt.

349
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Giants are in the hunt.

350
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Dodgers are S.

351
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Dodgers.

352
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Castellanos for sure.

353
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Yeah.

354
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:48,000
It's a bigger hesitation than it is for the Braves and the Orioles.

355
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
It's like hesitant for me.

356
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
I don't know.

357
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
I think the Dodgers could have more of a case than the Braves.

358
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
I think the Dodgers could have more of a case than the O's.

359
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,000
The Dodgers are pretty...

360
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,000
I think they could win.

361
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Yeah.

362
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000
I think the Dodgers could win and that's fine.

363
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000
I think the Dodgers could win and that's fine.

364
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
I guess because they have such a veteran roster.

365
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,000
And in playoff time, you would really want a roster like that instead of a young group

366
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,000
of players.

367
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Okay, all right.

368
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,000
I would get that, yeah.

369
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,000
I guess I'd say, yeah.

370
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Okay.

371
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,000
There's the rest.

372
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Pajas are S.

373
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Pajas are S.

374
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Diamondbacks.

375
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Diamondbacks.

376
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Wander's career for me.

377
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000
I mean, they're in the hunt though.

378
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,000
But if they didn't have such a good hot start.

379
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,000
They have a chance.

380
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,000
They have a chance.

381
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
They have to be in the hunt.

382
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Right now, we would be saying that they're 100% in Wander's career.

383
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Yeah.

384
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
You have to say they're in the hunt.

385
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Because they have such a good first half that we kind of have to put them into hunt.

386
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Yeah, you're right.

387
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
If that wasn't there, they'd be a terrible team.

388
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Right?

389
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Not a terrible team, but good.

390
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
But who's to say they're going to be like this for the rest of the season?

391
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,000
They could always pick it back up.

392
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,000
They don't have any huge injuries.

393
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Every player that was playing so hot is just so mid right now.

394
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,000
But that's baseball.

395
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,000
That's going to happen.

396
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,000
They always have to have spikes.

397
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,000
It's been like what?

398
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,000
A month plus now since the half goal start break has happened.

399
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000
And it's like, they're all kind of going like Corbin's cooling off a ton.

400
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Lourdes Grigoryel was like, cool off a serious ton.

401
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Yeah, he has like his up and downs.

402
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
But like those were two guys that really drove that roster.

403
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:24,000
And it's just, I think it makes it easy because they're only game out.

404
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
I'm like, I have to put them in.

405
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Still really?

406
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Yeah, they're only game out.

407
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000
I guess they kind of have to put them in the hunt, huh?

408
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Yeah, you do.

409
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
They're just not making us a big, like a.

410
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Yeah, I get where you're coming from.

411
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
They're not the newest topic.

412
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,000
They never have.

413
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,000
I don't fear them anymore.

414
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,000
I think they have less of a chance than the Mariners, Blue Jays, Phillies, Red Sox.

415
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
But I still think because they're a game out, I have to give them a shot.

416
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Yeah.

417
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,000
That's right.

418
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,000
I'm going to give them a shot.

419
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,000
All right.

420
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Moving on.

421
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000
T's Chin, who agrees with me?

422
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,000
For the Mets?

423
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Wander's career.

424
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
I'm going to put the Mets up.

425
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Did you?

426
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,000
They're absolutely done though.

427
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
They're sold in the deadline.

428
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000
I guess they're seven out.

429
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,000
They're done.

430
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Never mind.

431
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,000
They're done.

432
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,000
They're done.

433
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,000
They're done.

434
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,000
They're done.

435
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,000
They're done.

436
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
They're done.

437
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000
I'm sorry.

438
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,000
I'm sorry.

439
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
The Twins are definitely.

440
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
The Twins are Wander's career.

441
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Oh, actually, no.

442
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Yeah, they're in the hunt.

443
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Never mind.

444
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000
They're winning the division.

445
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,000
I forgot what they were.

446
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
I think they have the highest strike gallery in the league.

447
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
But like, dude, they're pretty good when they play together though.

448
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Their pitching is amazing.

449
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000
That's why I have to leave.

450
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000
At the same time, it's the AL mid.

451
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Yeah, it is.

452
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Okay.

453
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:40,000
So I'm not going to give them a shot.

454
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,000
I'm going to give them a shot.

455
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,000
I'm going to give them a shot.

456
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,000
I'm going to give them a shot.

457
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,000
I'm going to give them a shot.

458
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,000
I'm going to give them a shot.

459
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,000
I'm going to have to put them in the hunt.

460
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,000
They're going in the hunt.

461
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,000
In the hunt for sure.

462
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Yeah.

463
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Yeah.

464
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Do I think they're going to do anything in the postseason?

465
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000
No.

466
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,000
No.

467
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,000
They can't do that, baby.

468
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,000
They're hitting.

469
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,000
They're hitting can't catch up with.

470
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
Yeah.

471
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Yeah.

472
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Caliber of the postseason pitching.

473
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000
All right.

474
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Chicago.

475
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000
In the hunt.

476
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,000
They're in the hunt.

477
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
In the hunt.

478
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
I think these ones are going to be big games.

479
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Chicago.

480
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Washington.

481
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Chicago has a playoff spot right now.

482
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Washington.

483
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Well, that's awesome.

484
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
That's awesome.

485
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Sorry, Washington.

486
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
We have to be in the hunt too. Yeah

487
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:22,080
Yeah, I think because Cincinnati is a game back of a playoff spot Cubs have won twins or division leaders. Yeah, I

488
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,800
think

489
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,200
nationals

490
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,000
Nationals are

491
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
done

492
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,920
They are being the Phillies right now, they are doing that

493
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:36,920
I can't say anything

494
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:42,880
Alright, but hey, that's one of our like five series against them this year. Yeah, you put them down many times

495
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,640
Yeah, you play your division teams like so many times

496
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,160
My gosh nine times. Yeah

497
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,920
Thank you so long run exit a list for everybody that's

498
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,640
the Reds

499
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,640
Reds were in on

500
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,400
Really still there one day. What do you mean? Yeah, they're one

501
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,400
Oh

502
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,400
Think they're out the door Kenji. I think

503
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:14,280
So I don't know. Yeah, it was so fun seeing all the crews like popping up like who is he now?

504
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,840
They got everyone's out of the top McLean's cooled off

505
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,680
Joy Vato, is that his name?

506
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Joy Vato is like 45

507
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,080
Yeah, I don't know if he's relevant. No one else is just so I don't know

508
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,680
Their pitching is horrendous green came back today eight runs he gave up on his first now

509
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,320
He like I don't know where they're gonna go. They can't pitch

510
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,920
See the thing is they could make the wild card spot, but they're not gonna do anything

511
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,920
So they still have to be in the hunt, but they can't do anything

512
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:52,960
Like do I think they're more competitive than an Angels roster? No, I would say the Angels are a better team more full around

513
00:30:52,960 --> 00:31:00,440
They're a better all-around team because the Angels have pitching at least that is better than the Reds. Reds have awful pitching

514
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,420
awful bullpen actually Diaz is pretty good, but

515
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
missing pieces

516
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,400
Andrew Abbott exists

517
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,720
I

518
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:16,300
Know who else you got one. You know one starter. No, I'm just saying he's still as craft is. All right

519
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,520
Diaz is a great closer, but like I

520
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:25,480
Would say the pitching angels pitching the Angels pitching roster is better than the Reds. Kenji. I'm hitting. I don't know

521
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,160
Respectfully, I understand what you're saying, but I think you're wrong

522
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,400
If we were going if we're doing a talent tier list the

523
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,920
Be at the top

524
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,560
It's like teams in the Reds, right? Which is why I was a

525
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,240
I feel like so I don't like the Reds played a lot of really hard teams

526
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,720
Yeah, but let's be honest about this

527
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,400
This is a playoff team tier list and the Angels are six and a half back and the Reds are a game back

528
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,480
I don't think that's a good idea. The Reds

529
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,920
Yeah, that's Brewers

530
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,680
Yeah, okay then yeah, I guess it isn't hot isn't it that's a pretty you have to be in the

531
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,840
Game back

532
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,840
I get your case

533
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:23,440
Ellie first like when they just went on that they've always been about here the the Reds hype is definitely died

534
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,840
Yeah, that's hype is definitely died. But you know, they're still that's we're still not counting them out

535
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:33,520
Cuz they were gonna happen. I'll a day that Cruz the new Jesus Christ the minute he stepped on the field

536
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,920
40

537
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,800
Like that picture the picture like

538
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,500
Pimped in like 103 mile-hour fast Jordan

539
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,320
That was George Hicks or Jordan Hicks, yeah

540
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Stood there. Yeah

541
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,600
Not much you can do with that. No, I know much you can do

542
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,280
Yeah, I think MLB just like magnifies Ellie's highlights

543
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,380
Which is like a few like he has he has some to be fair

544
00:33:03,380 --> 00:33:08,980
But then they just like to complete disregard what kind of player he is when he's not doing hot and to be fair

545
00:33:09,140 --> 00:33:14,100
He was electric at the start. He was so fun to watch but now he's you know, the hype is definitely died down

546
00:33:14,100 --> 00:33:19,420
He's still fun to watch don't get me wrong. I love the guy but it's the exact same thing on my junior year

547
00:33:19,420 --> 00:33:22,020
I got super hot the rare beginning when I first got to play and then I'm

548
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:26,100
Sounds about right. Yeah

549
00:33:27,060 --> 00:33:28,260
Yeah

550
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:30,540
so running back through the to list and

551
00:33:30,540 --> 00:33:35,860
The bottom tier D tier or Tim Anderson's chin. We have Cardinals Rockies Royals

552
00:33:35,860 --> 00:33:39,260
Athletics Pirates Mets White Sox Nationals

553
00:33:41,180 --> 00:33:43,180
Wander career which is C tier

554
00:33:43,740 --> 00:33:47,740
Yankees Guardians Tigers Angels Padres

555
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:55,420
That's such a tough one to do. I think Detroit could yeah level but all of those guys not going into the year should have been contenders

556
00:33:56,620 --> 00:33:58,620
Which is that for sure?

557
00:33:58,620 --> 00:34:03,220
In the hunt Seattle Toronto, Miami and Milwaukee Philadelphia

558
00:34:03,740 --> 00:34:05,740
Boston San Francisco

559
00:34:05,740 --> 00:34:07,740
Arizona, Minnesota, Chicago

560
00:34:08,220 --> 00:34:10,220
Cubs and then the Cincinnati Reds

561
00:34:10,860 --> 00:34:14,460
All teams that are close all teams that have a good chance to make in the playoffs

562
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:17,900
J Rams here, which is the B tier

563
00:34:18,620 --> 00:34:20,620
Or no a tear. Excuse me

564
00:34:20,620 --> 00:34:25,980
Rays Astros and Rangers Rangers are kind of like my floater honorable mention team

565
00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:28,220

Any disputes Brady? I know you're I know you're still hot

568
00:34:36,860 --> 00:34:38,860
Last time last chance to make a pitch

569
00:34:39,580 --> 00:34:44,300
Yeah, anything I say about anything is just gonna get thrown out the window. Anyways, we did. Oh

570
00:34:46,620 --> 00:34:47,740
All right

571
00:34:47,740 --> 00:34:49,340
Let us know in the comments

572
00:34:49,340 --> 00:34:56,300
Um around our social medias what uh, you guys think of the tier list who's making the playoffs who's not? I mean, I think it's safe to say

573
00:34:56,300 --> 00:35:00,940
I don't think we made any crazy claims here. Like we didn't declare anybody did that isn't already

574
00:35:02,140 --> 00:35:03,100
uh

575
00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:03,740
I mean

576
00:35:03,740 --> 00:35:06,540
Yeah, we can do like an official playoff prediction

577
00:35:06,540 --> 00:35:10,300
You know the start of September and predict the actual like what the bracket's gonna look like but

578
00:35:10,780 --> 00:35:13,500
Yeah, that's all I got Kenji. You want some to say?

00:35:29,820 --> 00:35:32,780
Lovely guy, but yeah in the flesh

583
00:35:34,460 --> 00:35:40,460
All right, we suck amen Brady. What did you say at the end of last episode? It's a bad day to be a baseball

584
00:35:40,860 --> 00:35:46,380
It's a it's always a bad day to be a baseball an even better day to be a yankie hater. That's right

585
00:35:46,380 --> 00:35:50,000
That's what we love to hear. It's pretty big hater. We'll catch you guys next week
