Hello, friends
Thanks for coming out for the last chat of the regular season.
I really appreciate all of the great questions we get every week and wanted to let you know
11:03
I love you.
No hyperbole
real romantic love
Okay, now baseball!
Is Lile for Real??
11:03
Hi Nicklaus. Is Daylen Lile for real?? It looks like he’s doing what Dylan Crews should be doing right now! Debating whether he is a keeper candidate next year.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:04
gotta say, I like him quite a bit
keeper-ness would depend on your number of slots/league size, but
He's got a lot to like. Crazy feel for hitting,
11:05
but, unlike classic comp guys like Arraez, Lile actually hits hard line drives
11:06
his bread/butter is going to be AVG and runs but could still push 30 HR+SB
that's my jam
Will Miz be the Wiz?
11:06
What’s your take on Miz from now going into next year, a keeper or trade bait? I’m not  afraid of a rookie going through growing pains, just curious on your thoughts since they’re considering making him a reliever for post season, and wondering if it will stop there.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:07
In a vacuum, I'd prefer him as trade bait
I'm also not afraid to let young pitchers get their growing pains in, but I think there's too much uncertainty with him right now to invest too highly
11:08
Unless it's the Real World/Road Rules Challenge
CT must be banned tho
I'm so old
11:09
but if you want to see a grown man get treated like a backpack search "miz is CT's backpack"
I'm sure that'll get you close
Argh Pee
11:09
So... What should we talk about?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:10
got any stories to finish?
how about "I can't believe they let Cena get bodied by Lesnar for 8 minutes"?
Boston Bias
11:10
Boston has a slew of starters low on the depth chart or injured. Precedent says that Andrew Bailey will make at least 1 or 2 of them valuable next year. Which one(s) do you like the best for a 2026 breakout?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:11
If we're talking about just the injured guys, let's say I'm less than bullish
but also a lifetime sucker for Dustin May
11:12
If you're talking about youth...I expect I'll have a lot of Early in my life
One Start to Rule Them All
11:13
Down to a final start in my league. Trevor Rogers @nyy or wait for a Gavin Williams vs. Tex start Sunday that may be a mirage? Would love a win and ratios even more than k's.
Nicklaus Gaut
11:14
It's obviously terrifying, but I've just refused to bet against Rogers ever since I finally got on the train a few months back
11:15
AKA I got tired of him making me sound like a fool
Daily Moves
11:15
Why is there one early game messing up my daily lineup? Can you tell them to knock it off?
Nicklaus Gaut
11:15
It's legit one of my least favorite things
11:16
I mean, I know they know about people playing fantasy/gambling, right?
It honestly reeks of Kevin Cash's villainous chicanery
