00:00
Okay, so now let's get to the theme of our show, essentially.
00:03
That's been James Wood, who's not only going to be an all-star for the Nationals,
00:07
but also going to be in the Home Run Derby,
00:08
and he's also been better than Pete Crow Armstrong over the last month.
00:13
Buy or sell?
00:14
Wood will finish the season with more fantasy points than Pete Crow Armstrong.
00:19
George, a few weeks ago, we would have said,
00:21
sell, hit the red button immediately, but now it's possible.
00:27
I think this is going to be close here.
00:30
What have we been talking about all show in regards to James Wood?
00:34
All right, is that he should get the Barry Bonds treatment.
00:37
Don't pitch to him.
00:38
I understand you get a point for a walk in most points leagues, right?
00:41
So you'll still get points there, but maybe the opportunity to drive in those runs,
00:44
to hit those home runs, be a little limited here.
00:47
Plus, generally, not always, but generally,
00:50
Rinkley Field's a better hitter's ballpark.
00:52
You know, I understand when the wind's blowing in, maybe not so much,
00:54
but Washington's definitely a pitcher's ballpark there.
00:56
I'm going to say no.
00:57
So I'm going to say, I'm going to say, PCA keeps it up here.
01:01
They're both pretty much rookies, right?
01:02
They're both younger players here.
01:04
So it's even there as far as adjustments and who might go into a slump in the second half here.
01:08
I'm just going to say what the lineup the Cubs have.
01:11
You know, you got Tucker.
01:12
I always have a great year.
01:13
Suzuki, who's been fantastic.
01:15
They're happy.
01:16
They're just more, there'll be more base runners on for PCA,
01:20
and they'll have to pitch to him.
01:21
They can't really pitch around him here.
01:23
So I'm going to say PCA finishes with more fancy points than Wood.
01:26
Both great players here.
01:28
And listen, I have, I'm rooting for Wood Heavy here, but I'm going to sell this.
01:32
Yeah.
01:32
I hate to agree with you.
01:34
I'm going to, I'm going to agree on this one here.
01:36
I think primarily for one reason,
01:38
that C.A.
01:40
Pete Kromstrunk has already banked 26 stolen bases on the season.
01:46
Now, I mean, he could end up stealing 50.
01:48
It's possible, maybe not.
01:51
I mean, he's doubling James Wood on those stolen bases.
01:53
So in terms of fantasy points, if that's the format that you're playing,
01:57
I just don't see Wood stealing 25 bases in the second half.
02:01
I could see Pete Crow Armstrong doing it.
02:05
Facing Wood in September, George, you know, like who's going to do that?
02:10
If you're fighting for the play,
02:11
any playoff team is just not going to pitch to this guy.
02:13
I mean, if you got to win games,
02:15
you're just going to let somebody else sell for me.
02:17
Philly's win the National League East.
02:20
They're right in it.
02:20
George, Mets fell back.
02:22
Now they won a few in a row.
02:23
Buy or sell.
02:24
Philly's capture this NLE's title.
02:27
Probably the easiest one for me.
02:28
All right.
02:29
I think the Phillies are the second best team in the National League
02:32
behind the Dodgers here.
02:33
You and I talked earlier in the show about that pitching staff.
02:36
You got Wheeler, who's a Cy Young candidate.
02:38
Lizardo, who's a nice bounce back guy, right, for the Phillies.
02:42
Suarez, Sanchez.
02:43
I mean, that's a nice top four.
02:45
And remember, they got their top prospect, Andrew Painter,
02:47
who might join the team at some point in the second half.
02:50
We'll see what he can do.
02:51
And I'm a big Painter guy, by the way.
02:53
And the offense, yeah, we may not love Harper.
02:56
He's still good here.
02:58
Schwarber's going to hit 50 home runs or close to it there.
03:01
And I like the offense.
03:02
Trey Turner's having a nice season as well here.
03:05
I'm going to combine this.
03:06
I think the three questions so far, this one's the easiest.
03:09
Yes, Philly's with the East.
03:10
Yeah, I'm on buy mode as well here.
03:13
I mean, I don't know.
03:14
I mean, the Mets are going to have to do something very significant
03:16
to change my mind.
03:18
How about Seattle making the playoffs, George?
03:20
I feel like we do this every year.
03:23
And every year, we're on the fence.
03:25
You and I see it differently.
03:26
Buy or sell?
03:27
They make it this year.
03:29
And every year, I buy.
03:30
And I think they're so dangerous that they can just get in the playoffs
03:33
with that pitching staff.
03:34
Castillo, Woo, Kirby, Gilbert.
03:37
Yes, buy.
03:38
Get in.
03:38
Make a big addition to the deadline.
03:39
Get some offense, some more offense.
03:41
Why am I going to buy?
03:43
Sell.
03:44
Sell.
03:44
They don't make it.
03:46
Cal Raleigh and nothing.
