 Hi, everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebrakes.com. Happy Thursday coming at you with 2021 Panini Daunris Optic Baseball, six box picker team number five from Jaspy's casebrakes.com. Big thanks to everybody here for getting in on the action. I appreciate it. So Thursday the 7th, Optic Baseball, picker team five. Now, if you see a little rooftop next to your name, that means you won that spot in one of our filler breaks that we did. So congrats to the people who won their spots, and thanks to the people who bought their spot straight up, which I also appreciate. No matter how you get in, I appreciate that. Thank you. All right, so Daunris Optic Baseball, number five, half case, fresh case. So there's six box on the left side, six boxes on the right side. Let's select a die. Select that one right there. One, two, three for the left side, four, five, six for the right side. And it's four, one, two, three, four, five, six. So this side will save for break six. So I'll write six on here. I'll underline six right there so nobody confuses it with break nine. And I wouldn't write my nines like that. That would be crazy. So that, I'm sure, will knock out at some point tomorrow. We break seven nights a week right here on this channel. So four and 22 autographs per box on average. Hot boxes will have five autographs in there. And then there are numbered prism hot boxes too. Two of each. Two autograph hot boxes and two parallel hot boxes in each case. So hopefully we'll find a couple hot boxes on this side. All right, good luck everybody. We're talking a little baseball in the previous baseball break. We've got playoff baseball starting up, which is really exciting. The AL kicked off today. The Astros beat the White Sox 6-1. And the Rays shut out the Red Sox 5-0. So we're kicking off. The playoff sees my Dodgers play tomorrow against the Giants. They're in San Francisco. That's going to be a tough series. But an excellent walk off for them last night. So hopefully they can get that momentum from the walk off and roll it over into the Giants series. That's going to be pretty exciting. Got a lot of family members and close friends who are Giants fans. So the trash talking has already started. So it's going to be a good time. I'm looking forward to it. Five-game series are a little weird too. It's a little short series. So the divisional series, five games, and then the championship series and the world series, seven games, I think there was a time back in the day when the world series was like nine games. I think this was long before there was like multi-levels of playoffs and whatnot. All right, first out of the gate is going to be Isaac Perettis. Autograph for TJ and the Tigers. So a good start for TJ. Wait, is this a tie? Yeah, Team Detroit. I was like, wait a second. Yeah, second guess myself there for a second, TJ. You're good. And then we got Spencer Howard to 249. Pink Velocity. We're going to sleeve these and set these aside. Our shipping team, our sorting and shipping team will top load those before they go out, before they're sorted and shipped out. Zach Veen rated Prospect Hollow. Those lights out parallels look pretty cool too. They're pretty common, but they look pretty cool. I want to say all-card ship in this, right? No, no veteran common ship, sorry. So like that Garrett Cole won't ship, but rated Prospects obviously will ship. Brian Reynolds will not ship. That will ship. Inserts of course will ship. And then Hyunjin Ru is a parallel obviously, so that obviously will ship to 149. Now Corey Seager will ship because that's a hollow. That's a parallel. That will ship. Bryce Harper will ship. And there's Keston Hera to 125 for the Brewers. And there's Alex Kirloff, rated rookie autograph for the Twins. That's going to be for Chris Butler. Won the Twins in that filler. Here in optic number five. 11 out of 15, nice low number there too, Chris. Congrats. All right, nice first box. Alms is saying that the Red Sox race here is going to be a cakewalk for the Rays. It's the only team in that division that could have competed with them would have been the Jays. I think I'm with you on that. There's that Arroz Arreño homerun speaking of the Rays. Arroz Arreño is one of the reasons why. I mean, I like the Boston team, that's got Alex Verdugo on there. I miss Kike Hernandez. So there's definitely some former Dodgers there that I want to see do well. But one could argue that I guess the Red Sox were kind of lucky to be in that wild car conversation in the first place. There's a reason why that the Rays ran away with that division. In the break schedule, in the Joe's picks tabs, I had a little parlay going today, I shouldn't have done that, but I was on the Astros minus 128 in the Red Sox plus 138. I parlayed that, but that didn't quite work out. I was on the Rams minus two and a half, I got that. And I usually don't pick series winners because I'm just not good at it. Like I'll get one out of the four right or something like that. But my division series picks are the White Sox at plus 116. So short dogs there. Rays, kind of heavy favorites, minus 169. Then I went with the Braves at plus 124. Slight dogs there. And the Dortmund, of course, bias pick, my Dodgers at minus 160. Ooh, Andrew Schmidt thinking, Rays Dodgers World Series again, you're predicting if they can get past the Giants. If they get past the Giants, that's gonna be the toughie, of course. And that was Kirolov again to 249. Lot of fun parallels here to chase. Luis Robert, a sixth Los Angeles raided rookie hollow. It's gonna be a tough one for the Dodgers. There's Jose Garcia. The series was pretty even, I think, this year. I think the season series was pretty even for the Dodger. I think the Giants maybe won one more game than the Dodgers. There's Jose Garcia 24 out of 75. I wanna say a lot of those wins were earlier in the season, though. I think later in the season, the Dodgers kind of had the upper hand. For whatever that's worth. There's Jared Kalanick. He's gonna be worth a lot. Rated prospect hollow for the Ems. That's gonna be for Tyler Stumpf and the Mariners. That team ahead of schedule. And there's Will Crow. To 75, that's gonna be for Washington. That'll be for Steve. We won that team in the filler. Three out of 75. 59 out of 75, Vlad Guerrero Jr. No, San Fran is not a joke. They are not a joke. I think the first couple of months of this season, I was just like, I was just like, oh yeah. You know, like, sure. San Francisco's all right. They're gonna tail off. They're gonna tail off. And they never did, so. They are what they say they are. Their record says they are. One of the best team, the best team in baseball. Victor Mesa. Miami. That'll be for Ryan Lind. Got that hollow Sixto Sanchez as well. Then we got a Joe Panic. Toronto Optic Autographs. Is this an autograph hot box? This is like the fourth one, right? That's for Josh Garza, not Jose Garza. Josh Garza. And the Blue Jays. There's Jose Ramirez, 12 out of 199, red, white, and blue. And it is an autograph hot box. There's the fifth one, Jordan Lyles, that is. Jordan Lyles, signature series for the Rangers. That'll be for Patrick Davis. Yeah, Andrews actually shocked at how good the Giants were. They turned it around fast in a year. Yeah, they had some pieces that were lurking. And then I think some guys turned back the clock, too. I think Buster Posey looked healthy, turned back the clock. Brandon Belt had a nice year. Yastremski kept growing, involving as a player. Brandon Crawford had a career year. Their starting pitching was amazing. Their relief pitching was solid. So they had the pieces there, and it just really clicked. It just clicked. They had great years. They're playing to their ceilings. And they put it all together. It was great. It was a good job for them. I didn't think it would happen this quickly, though. They were going to win 106 games like this year. Yeah, I mean, Farhand Zaidi, former Dodgers front office executive. Former Reyes, I think, front office executive, or A's. I think Friedman from the Reyes, Farhand was from the A's, maybe. I think that's why he went back to Northern California. That's home for him. But yeah, anyhow, he knows what he's doing. He certainly knows what he's doing. Yeah, Kapler or Dodger, too. I think Kapler was, I think, a potential before Dave Roberts got hired was being strongly considered for the job, the Dodgers manager job. I think Dodgers ended up going with Dave Roberts, and Kapler went to Philadelphia, which I think might have been good for Kapler. I think, you know, that was his first sort of big league manager job. And so I think he learned a lot. I think he learned a lot in Philadelphia just to be a manager. You know, there's Isaiah Kiner-Felefa to $199 for the Rangers. I like those, I don't know what those unleashed inserts go for on a secondary mark, but I like them. George Springer to $16. There's Luis Robert unleashed. And there's Isaiah Kiner-Felefa. There's Yaz, right there, to $199. And there's Randy Arzirania. His legend can continue to grow in the playoffs here. He had a home run, stole a home. Yeah, exactly, Oliver. Yeah, that long win streak meant that they were due to lose. And that's why I kept saying, I was like, gosh, I was really hoping that the Cardinals had peaked too soon. I think this might be the parallel hot box here. Nice. Got two hot boxes already. Hassan Kim will crow to $249. Pirates and Tetease Junior Diamond Kings for the Padres. And there's Brady Singer, $35 out of $75. Pink Velocity autograph for Riley and the Royals. Last spot, Mojo for Riley on that. Yeah, it's hard to really analyze what an actual streak means. You know what I mean? Like, Isaac Paredes to $125. They won 17 games in a row, but they lost like three of their last four games. So what does that mean? Are they the team that won 17 games in a row, which is an incredible achievement? Or are they the team that finished the regular season, I don't know, winning two of the last four games or something like that? But they didn't end on a winning streak. Now, a lot of those times, those streaks don't really matter all too much. There's Kyle Tucker to $125. It looks good for the newspapers. There's Max Scherzer to $249. I mean, that's why those streak trends are kind of weird. Max Scherzer, Dodgers were, I think, are undefeated when Max Scherzer makes a start as a team. So what does that mean? Does that mean he's going to... Is he due to lose his next start? I have no idea. I don't know. There's Luis Castillo to $76. Dodgers had won X amount of home games in a row and they were playing at home. Does that counteract the 17 games in a row that the Cardinals won? I have no idea. People can throw those numbers out there, but it's a little bit more than that. There's Christian Pache for the Braves, Bill Bell, Alec Baum, Stars Parallel for the Phillies, Zachary and Luis Castillo. So 1976, or 1776 Parallel out of 76. Ramon Laureano to $99. Jared Kalanick rated Prospect, Luis Castillo, Stars to $149. And Evan Marshall, Retro Series Signatures for the White Sox, Ryan Lind. That Cardinals team is still scary though. They still had some starting pitchers that were not really... I don't think Jack Flaherty was healthy like most of the season. That's a key piece of their team. So there were... There's Miguel Cabrera. So that team's going to be pretty scary, I think. I mean, you've got Nolan Aronato, Paul Goldschmidt on the corners. It will be interesting to see when Yachty retires. That's going to be a tough hole to fill. But yeah, all of us, right, they were praised for that sort of Whitey Herzog ball that they were sort of emulating. They were praised for that. That's really well. Does Scherzer look hurt to you, Oliver? Hmm. Hmm. I don't like that. What was that weird issue? He didn't... Wasn't he scratched from a start about a month ago? What was that issue? Was it like a hamstring issue that kind of creeps up? That he says sometimes pops up every once in a while? Hmm. The Fastball was 93 on the stadium gun. Interesting. I don't know if I like the sound of that. Yeah, I can't remember the exact injury, too, but there was like... There was a thing. So what's the Dodgers playoff schedule here? So they start tomorrow, right, Oliver? So Game 1's Friday, Saturday. So it's a 2-2-1. So Giants have home field advantage. So it's 2 in San Francisco, then 2 down here in L.A. And then 1 if necessary. I guess 4 and 5 are if necessary, but the 5th game would be in San Francisco. So Friday, Saturday in San Francisco, Monday, Tuesday here in L.A. Then Thursday, San Francisco, unless one of the teams is sweet. So Walker Bueller is on the mound. So who pitches Saturday then? Urias? So it's Walker, Urias. And would Monday be Scherzer again? Turn around to Scherzer? All right, next box. We got Andres Jimenez. It's auto popped a little early. Is this an autograph hot box? This is still Metz edition going to Adam Harper, who won that team. There's Leo de Tavares, 3 out of 99. Rated rookie, Rangers. Patrick. So do you want... Scherzer on 4 days rest for game 3. Do you want him on 4 days rest? If you think he's injured, you give him another day, but who do you start in game... I suppose we have to see what happens in the first two games. Is Trevor Story to 249? He's a free agent. So if the Dodgers jump ahead to nothing, do you think you start someone else on game 3? You would start Scherzer on... Let me close that. Josh is saying... Well, the only reason why I'm asking Josh is because Oliver was at the game last night. He thinks that Scherzer looks a little hurt. That fastball was only at 93 on the stadium gun last night. Yeah, so do you want to put a tired guy out, not give him full days rest? I think he'd be on... Monday would be 5th day? Oh, that would be regular rest then. Then you throw him out there, yeah. So I thought it was going to be an autograph hot box, but it was just an autograph that popped early, the hymn is. We're still looking for a second here in this box. And it's Christian Javier. Retro signature series. This guy's a pretty good pitcher. I'm on my fancy team early in the season. I think he got injured a little bit, and then they sent him down to the minor to the most part, because I think the Astros had a lot of quality arms already. But this could be a front-of-the-rotation type guy, Jonathan, with that one. Alright, two boxes to go. Well, Oliver, what is your gut say about the Dodgers' Giants series? I'd be surprised if either team sweeps. This is a five-game series for sure. Josh, this series goes five, right? Yeah, I think it goes five. No, I don't want to see that either, but realistically, it's going five, and it's a coin flipping game five in San Francisco. Oliver says, five games, Hart wants three, one dodge. Three, one, three, one would be great. Like, we steal game one, Giants win game two, and Dodgers win game three and four, and call it, right? That would be nice. I'd be happy with that, too. But I could see a real... Oh, I don't want to even put this out there. I could see a real roller coaster where the Dodgers go down O2, and then back in L.A., the Dodgers win two in a row, and then it's just a crapshoot in game five. I can see something silly like that happening. The Dodgers will go down O2. Everyone's going to freak out, you know? All right, another early auto. There's Lance Lin, rough start for him today. He was the anchor of my fantasy baseball team this year. Ryan Lin with the White Sox. And there's rated rookie hollow Joe Adele for Rexie and the Angels. And we got Evan White for Seattle, rated rookie on-card autograph for Tyler and the M's. Once everyone's reading, Oliver, what's your read on the other series? There's 194 out of 199, Jonathan India. So I made some series wagers, very small series wagers, which I normally don't do because I'm not very good at them, but I took the White Sox as short dogs, plus 116 to win the series. They're down 0-1 already. Raze minus 169, bigger favorites there. Braves at plus 124. Oh, those are toilet paper rolls, by the way. That's like the pandemic-related parallel there. Jose Barrios twins. That'll be for Chris Butler. I've got Braves plus 124, and Dodgers minus 160. Although between, if you're just, that's from the heart sort of play there, ladies and gentlemen. 10 out of 25, Jose Garcia. The sharp play, so Jose Garcia right there, the sharp play, the smarter play is probably just taking the value with the giants at plus money would be the smarter investment. But if you're Homer, then you're going to pick the Dodgers at minus 160 and lay all that money. I mean, Dodgers minus, almost the same price as the Raze minus 169, right? You can argue that the Raze at that price is going to be a lot easier to beat the Red Sox. Looks like they're going to beat the Red Sox a lot more comfortably than the Dodgers. Oliver's having a hard time paying attention to the rest of the other series, but Braves, Raze, Dodgers, Astros. So that would be a Braves, Dodgers, NLCS. That would be a good NLCS. Braves don't like, Braves don't want the, Braves want the Dodgers, they want to beat the Dodgers. They don't like the Dodgers. I guess the Brewers don't like the Dodgers either. I think the Dodgers have been winning for too long. Braves, Brewers. And then Raze, Astros. Without right, I'd like to see the White Sox go on though, but they still can. They're only down a game. Astros look way too, their depth just looks incredible. They've just got hitters one through nine. Raze are pretty deep too. Yeah, I did like that. Juan Soto is rocking the old, the old Trey Turner nationalist jersey, right? Rooting for the Dodgers. I thought that was cool. Well, rooting for his buddy, Trey, I think. Wasn't there someone else wearing Kevin Long? Yeah. That's what it was. It was like another nationalist jersey. And I think there was Scott Boris, I think was sitting next to some guys too. I think Trey Turner is a Scott Boris client. Ozzy Alby's autograph, nice optic autographs. That's going to be for, be for Bill and the Braves. There you go, Bill Bell. Nice, thanks Bill Bell. Thanks for getting in. That's a spot he bought straight up too. There's Jesus Sanchez to 149. For Miami. Oh, interesting. So when Soto was on the Jumbo Tron, he was telling the Dodgers fans to cheer. And the crowd, Oliver and everyone else were eating it up. He wasn't shy about it. Juan Soto to the Dodgers confirmed. Confirmed. Juan Soto was a Dodger. And again, Nationalist fans would hate us. Who do we send back? Who would you send back? Would you send Mookie back? Mookie for Juan Soto? Or do you send a bunch of prospects? What's Juan Soto's contract? He signed a big deal early, didn't he? Really early. You can live in LA. No, Juan Soto did not sign a contract. I live in DC. Three more arbitration years. So it would take so many prospects and players to even get traded. It was Akunya who signed the big deal early. Right. But I don't know, that's life-changing money. He locks it in for the 80 years. Yeah. There's Albert Pujols, Angels Edition to 25. Yeah, well Juan Soto is going to get a lot of money in arbitration years. And you know that the Nationalists want to try to lock him up. But if you're Juan Soto and you just traded away Trey Turner and Max Scherzer and they're kind of rebuilding. You know, I don't know. That's a tough situation. Unless like the Nationalists are like, we want you to be the face of our organization and blah, blah, blah, blah. I did see that. That was crazy. They're asking people to see if they can look at those old video. All right. But yeah, it'll be crazy. Soto going to wait three years before he signs the contract. If Trey Turner, so maybe Trey Turner is the key, Oliver, you got to lock down Trey Turner, give him the extension and a big deal. And then maybe Soto comes afterwards. Rated rookie signatures, pink velocity. Good luck, everybody. It's going to be D, Darren, David, DA, David, Daz, Daz Cameron. I think Daz Cameron is a tiger. He is a tiger. So that goes to T.J. and the tigers. I think T.J. got the first autograph and then gets the last autograph. Thanks, T.J., for getting the tiger straight up. I appreciate that. Here's a quick little recap. The Daz Cameron was nice. Ozzy Albee's strong. Evan White, Lance Lynn, Andres Jimenez, Christian Javier, Evan Marshall, Brady Singer, the Arrozorania pink velocity. That was Jordan Lyles. There's Joe Panic, Victor Mesa Jr., Will Crowe, Jose Garcia, Alex Kearlaw was nice. That was numbered to 15. And Isaac Perretis for the tigers. And then plus a bunch of fun parallels to get into second half of the cases in the store, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. We'll see you next time for the next baseball break. Bye-bye.
