Podcast appearances and mentions of Royce Lewis

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 26, 2023 @ 3 pmSegment 1 - News and Notes1.The Diamondbacks acquired Eugenio Suarez for RHP Carlos Vargas and Catcher Seby Zavalaa.Suarez brings a 30% K-Rate but has always hit for power. He had back-to-back 31 home run seasons, and then last year, he hit 22. In looking at the data, the exit velos are the same, the launch angle is the same, the K-Rate is the same, and the walk rate is the same. You got it…everything is the same. He's dropped to the 24th third baseman off the board. If you think he can return to 30 home runs, does this give him some value here? Especially if you need power late in the draft.b.Carlos Vargas has a great arm with a fastball that will touch triple-digits, but he has no idea where the ball is going. He's likely a bullpen arm. Seby Zavala came through the White Sox organization and strikes out too much. Not sure he's more than a backup catcher. Thoughts on both players?2.The Cardinals sign two pitchers. Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn. Both were okay last year with the Orioles and White Sox/Dodgers. Lynn's ADP is 353, and Gibson is 564. Any interest?a.Does this move the needle for the Cardinals?3.We both got excited about the trade that brought Brandon Shewmake to the White Sox. Maybe he would get a shot. What do the White Sox do? Sign Paul DeJong. a.He has one of the worse baseballsavant pages I've seen. 2% rank in exit velo. 15% in hard-hit rate, 5% in whiff, 10% in walks, 37th percentile in speed. It looks like he has good range at short with a poor arm. b.He's only been drafted in four out of the 44 Drafts at the NFBC so far. Maybe that goes up?c.This doesn't appear to be a profile of a Major League full-time regular. Maybe a utility player. What am I missing?Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the NL West1.Arizona Diamondbacksa.Alek Thomas is currently living off his great defensive chops. Huge range in center field. He's also a plus runner, ranking in the 87th percentile. There is some solid exit velo, but he beats everything on the ground. He's the 80th outfielder off the board – a number-five outfielder. Is this a growth stock, or would you take a bet on someone else as your fifth outfielder?b.What about Jake McCarthy? There's plus speed but no power. He also beats everything on the ground? Thoughts on McCarthy? Is he a guy you're interested in? His ADP is 490, or the 94th outfielder off the board?i.Can you be a Championship level team with this level of power in centerfield and right?c.Brandon Pfaadt looked great on the biggest stage, and his ADP climbed a little. He's still going as the 87th pitcher off the board – likely the 60th or so starter off the board. Is there value as your fifth pitcher?i.Stat line: IP, wins, Ks, and ERAd.The Diamondbacks won 84 games last season. Does the win total go up or down next season?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)2.Colorado Rockiesa.Nolan Jones went 20-20 with a .297 average. He's going as the 15th outfielder off the board – pick #58. How many teams of yours will he be on? We will look at other outfielders around the same area.i.Notes: Jones had a .401 BABIP and struck out 30% of the time. There is serious pop with an exit velocity of 90 MPH with a max of 115. There's not a ton of launch.b.Stat line of Ezequiel Tovar – HR, SB, RBI, and BAc.Hunter Goodman (#624) or Brenton Doyle (#541)?d.You have to hold your nose and pick a Rockies starter. Who's it going to be?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)3.Los Angeles Dodgersa.Gavin Lux stat line: AB, HR, SB and BAb.Are the Dodgers going to battle with Chris Taylor (#429), Gavin Lux, Michael Busch (#546), and Miguel Rojas (#726) hitting at the bottom of the order? We will discuss each (not Lux) and whether they are worth drafting.c.Walker Buhler's stat line: IP, wins, K's, and ERAd.Bobby Miller is going as the #36 pitcher off the board in early NFBC Drafts. That's a #2 starter when you factor in closers. Too high, too low, or just about right?e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)4.San Diego Padresa.Luis Campusano – AB, HR, RBI, and BAb.Manny Machado is going as the #7 third baseman off the board. He's been passed by Gunnar Henderson and Royce Lewis. Solid value in the fifth round, or would you pass him over?c.Yu Darvish had a tough season, pitching to a 4.56 ERA and ending the season on the IL after having bone spurs removed from his pitching elbow. He's fallen to the 15/16 round in 15-team drafts. Any interest?d.2024 will mark AJ Preller's 10th year on the job. He went in big when he first arrived. He quickly sold off almost everyone he traded for when it didn't work. He then drafted and signed high-end Latin player for a few years in what looked like a rebuild. Then, he traded away those prospects for veterans while signing high-priced free agents (Hosmer, Machado, Xander, et. al). They've made the playoffs twice and even got to the NLCS in 2022. However, he's spent a fortune and needs to sell off pieces so the Padres can make payroll. How has he kept his job? e.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)5.San Francisco Giantsa.Marco Luciano: Stat line for 2024 – AB, HR, RBI, and BAb.Michael Conforto's bat speed has slowed. He used to light up statcast with his exit velos and hard-hit rates. Now, it's below average – in the 40s for both, with an average launch angle. He's not that old – he turns 31 in March. Could we see a bounce back in 2024, or is he just a 15- to 18-year-old home run guy with some OBP skills now?c.Kyle Harrison: Stat line for 2024 – IP, wins, Ks, and ERAd.Give me a sleeper in the organization (Minor and/or Major)CloseThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement

Fantasy Baseball Live – October 15, 2023 – 3 pm ETSegment 1 and 2 – Reviewing the divisional playoff series1. Besides the Phillies vs. the Braves, I thought the playoffs were boring. Your thoughts?2. Why were there so many off days? The Dodgers vs. D-Backs had two off days?3. Rangers sweep the Orioles 3-0a. John Means was not available as his elbow was barking. Does this give you pause at the Draft table?b. Evan Carter played great in September and continues to look good in the playoffs. He hit .429 with a home run. He's a _____________ outfielder for you next season?c. Grayson Rodriguez – Yikes!4. Astros beat the Twins 3-1a. Royce Lewis had four home runs in the playoffs. He's a _______________ 3B for you next season?b. Jose Abreu had three home runs in the series. After his horrible start, he was better and finished with 90 RBI and 18 HR, but with a .237 BA and .296 OBP. Is he a middle infielder next season?c. Christian Javier got the win, but walked five in five innings. He's a ____________ starting pitcher for you next season?5. The D-Back sweep the Dodgers 3-0a. This one was shocking. Freeman and Betts went 1 for 21. How did this happen?b. Carroll is hitting .417 with two home runs and two stolen bases in the postseason. How good can this kid be next season? HR, SB, and BA for 2024.c. Was 2023 the last season for Clayton Kershaw?6. The Phillies beat the Braves 3-1a. I had a feeling that the Phillies might take this, but still, I'm surprised. The Braves have the best team in baseball. How did the Phillies do it?b. Turner hit .500 with two home runs and four stolen bases. He's finishing up exactly like he started the year in the WBC. Still a first-round pick?c. Castellanos was the big star, though. Four home runs, and he hit .391. He's a nice player that flies under the radar. However, he hit 29 home runs, and stole 11 bases with 106 RBIs. He also hit .272. He's a ____________ outfielder for you.d. What do the Braves have to do differently next year to go deeper into the playoffs? It's the second year in a row that they've gotten bounced by the Phillies 3-1. They beat the Phillies 8 out of 13 games in the regular season.Segments 3 and 4 – First NFBC DraftSegment 5 – Preview of the League Championship Series1. Rangers vs. Astrosa. What are the keys?b.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' season coming to an end vs. the Astros, why their playoff run was both too short and hugely important, Royce Lewis and Edouard Julien stepping up, Byron Buxton stepping in for the injured Alex Kirilloff, and the offseason changes that could be coming. 

With that, the Minnesota Twins season is over. An exciting ALDS Game 4 does not go the Twins' way, as they lose 3-2 at Target Field to the Houston Astros. David, Hoges and Dan recap the game's highs, lows and lulls, many of which feature the letdown moments of the Twins' offense. They discuss the two home runs from Eddie Julien and Royce Lewis, and they also dissect the choices Rocco Baldelli made as he handled the pitching staff and one key pinch-hitting scenario. They zero in on the bottom of the sixth as the key moment of the game, and they try to muster some hope for next season amid the sadness of losing in the ALDS. After the World Series, they will be back with their season recap.

The Minnesota Twins returned to Target Field tied 1-1 with the Houston Astros in the American League Division Series, but the Twins couldn't get it done at home failing in spectacular fashion losing 9-1. The guys are joined in studio once again by Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson and they work to try and keep their hopes alive in the Twins postseason chances. The boys have trouble finding a silver lining from game 3 and focus their gaze ahead to game 4 and Joe Ryan making his first postseason start of 2023 against a homerun happy Houston lineup. Hoges doesn't want the Twins to pitch to Alvarez, and Dan thinks it's time for Kirilloff to take a seat on the bench in favor of Solano. The guys lament the missed opportunities in game 3, specifically the at-bats with the bases loaded for Max Kepler and Royce Lewis. The boys finish up making their Puckett's Picks for game 4.

This week on The Hype, the guys try to figure out how Topps let dual superfractors get into this year's edition of Bowman Chrome and why their response to the error is a huge win for collectors. Plus, a look at a star studded Hobby Rip Night, the biggest NFL rookies at the quarter mark of the season and why this MLB Postseason could be huge for the hobby.

The Twins beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3 to 1 on Tuesday. The key to that win was rookie Royce Lewis, who batted in three runs on two home runs. He hit his runs in his first two postseason bats.This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Cathy Wurzer. Music by Gary Meister.

Weak af turnout at the Trop with the Rangers taking Game 1. Why didn't Rays fans show up for the game and what does that say about the future ballpark plans in the same area? Royce Lewis is HIM. First the playoff losing streak, and now we talk out the chances of the Twins actually winning their first postseason series win since 2002. Stadium's Russ Dorsey tells AJ, Kratz & Braun why Craig Counsell and the Brewers went all-in on a Game 1 loss. Little things go a long way - like when Phillies owner John Middleton is seen picking up after BP.

The 2023 MLB Postseason is off and running after four games on day one of the four Wild Card Series.

Introduction: The Twins' 18-game postseason losing streak, the longest in North American history, is now a thing of the past. After a 3-1 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday in Game 1 of the Wild Card series, the Twins are in the driver's seat in a series for a change. Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III, who witnessed all 18 losses, breaks it down with host Michael Rand -- everything from the Royce Lewis home runs to the big defensive plays to big pitching moments. 17:00: Chris Hanel, who made a nearly two-hour documentary about the astronomical odds of the losing streak, joins Rand after the victory. He cried tears of joy Tuesday, and now Hanel might finally be able to eat something. His catharsis is similar to that of other Twins fans.

Introduction: In this special edition Twins playoff preview of Daily Delivery, host Michael Rand starts out with his three keys to the Wild Card series starting Tuesday against the Blue Jays. Among them: The health of Royce Lewis. 7:00: Star Tribune Twins writer Bobby Nightengale gives his breakdown of the projected roster and dissects how the Twins might match up against Toronto, a team that ultimately is very similar to the Twins. Expect good pitching, power and plenty of strikeouts. 22:00: Twins fan Chris Hanel joins Rand to talk more about his excellent documentary on the Twins' 18-game losing streak. Reliving the pain of that streak gives way to optimism, even if that seems impossible. 40:00: Final thoughts and a rundown of the special episodes ahead.

Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which included a bit of a surprise: The Twins will face the Blue Jays in the AL Wild Card round starting Tuesday. It's a winnable three-game matchup at Target Field, with the Twins starting out as slight favorites. But it will probably come down to pitching and the health of Royce Lewis. Reusse was not impressed with the QB play on either side of the ball Sunday when the Vikings managed their first win of the season, 21-13, over Carolina. Kirk Cousins threw a terrible pick-six, then offered a garbled explanation for it, but the Vikings harassed rookie Bryce Young enough to escape with the victory. Plus a Gophers win that Reusse missed largely because of a 60-year reunion.

Aaron and John talk about the Twins' upcoming playoff series against a yet-to-be-determined opponent, the odds of Carlos Correa, Royce Lewis, and Byron Buxton being in the lineup for Game 1, why the rotation plan might not be quite as simple as it first appeared, and John's attempt at the 9x9x9 Challenge.
