Speaker 2: Night in Major League Baseball last night. We had a
Speaker 2: lot of questions already in the chat, but we had
Speaker 2: a guy who was, you know, basically had to start
Speaker 2: lined up against the A's, that is the A's, but
Speaker 2: nobody was excited about starting Dimingo Herman, a guy who
Speaker 2: already had been suspended once for cheating this year, and
Speaker 2: he goes out there and throws a perfect game. The
Speaker 2: guy in my home league, my friend Mark, did not
Speaker 2: start him this week. Also, more than sixty percent of
Speaker 2: people did not start him in CBS leagues. I don't
Speaker 2: know what the other numbers are, but Welsh, this is
Speaker 2: a crazy night. Crazy things happen in baseball, and Dimingo
Speaker 2: Armand's perfect game I think is one of those things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it is. The recipe of recipes have
Speaker 3: been the A's all season. I mean, how many, dude?
Speaker 1: What was it like?
Speaker 3: Bryce Miller's start giving up like three hits versus the
Speaker 3: A's over his first three starts. They've been the team
Speaker 3: that gives. They are continuously giving. They gave massive week contact.
Speaker 3: I talked about this last night after the game, but
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of week contact. Eighty four miles
Speaker 3: an hour average x velocity against his curve ball, which
Speaker 3: he threw fifty percent of the time, fastball eighty six
Speaker 3: mile proor exit velocity that's normally ninety three against Domingo Hermond.
Speaker 3: So I mean his fastball gets murdered. It did not
Speaker 3: last night is fine performance. It was. It was a
Speaker 3: perfect performance if you look at it. I mean it
Speaker 3: was it was no no, but I mean like it
Speaker 3: was perfect of course, but a lot of week contact
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: This terrible.
Speaker 3: You know, he's a perfect game. This is I was
Speaker 3: thinking about this last night.
Speaker 1: I'm in the trade video right now for next week.
Speaker 1: Can you do it? He's got to be on the list.
Speaker 3: They asked me on CBS last night. They're like, is
Speaker 3: there an actubal fantasy item? And I'm like, it's trading him.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: That's like you go and trade the guy that just
Speaker 3: had the perfect game if someone's buying. But you know,
Speaker 3: at the at the end of the day, I love
Speaker 3: perfect games actually for this, because I was thinking about
Speaker 3: this after I did a show last night, that perfect
Speaker 3: games are this beautiful encapsulation because you've got like you know,
Speaker 3: Randy Johnson his throwne one and right Holliday, Felix turned.
Speaker 2: The last guy to do it was Felix Hernandez. We
Speaker 2: haven't had one since twenty twelve. I didn't realize it
Speaker 2: was that long.
Speaker 3: It's so special, but then it's mixed in with like,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know, like Dallas Braden and Domingo
Speaker 3: Herman and Philip Humber, like it's such a fun one.
Speaker 3: It's like the gods, fantasy gods come down and they're
Speaker 3: just like today you And it doesn't have to be
Speaker 3: the most elite of elite, but it was great performance.
Speaker 3: I feel bad talking negatively about it, but this is
Speaker 3: like a five era five expected guy who has you know,
Speaker 3: repeatedly used sticky stuff and keeps getting caught, and it's like, okay, cool,
Speaker 3: you did it. You got the perfect game. Everybody celebrate.
Speaker 3: If you started him, you get to be the guy.
Speaker 1: Oh the perfect game.
Speaker 3: But otherwise it's nothing else.
Speaker 2: A couple other checker things on the record too. For
Speaker 2: Domingo Herman. Last time I checked too much questionable off
Speaker 2: the field choices and decision making processes. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: just bizarms one of these crazy things. Major League Baseball
Speaker 2: is crazy like that, these things happen.
Speaker 3: It's funny Razor just putting this in the chat. I
Speaker 3: almost wanted to go through this last night, but it's like,
Speaker 3: is this maybe the worst of the perfect games of
Speaker 3: all time. Like if we wanted to really be mean, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know, I'd have to go back and do the
Speaker 1: deep dive.
Speaker 2: But I mean, it's funny because you know, you know
Speaker 2: you mentioned Dallas Brayden, right, that happened in Oakland too,
Speaker 2: if you recall, and Oaklands one of these places where
Speaker 2: you have a lot more foul territory. So I always
Speaker 2: feel like that sometimes environment has a lot to do
Speaker 2: with it was a bad team they were facing, uh
Speaker 2: the environment in terms of having a lot more foul
Speaker 2: territory and those you know, we're just more things, more
Speaker 2: outs can happen that shouldn't be outs necessarily in those ballparks.
Speaker 2: I think that's an interesting factor. And and I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess it kind of stinks that happened in front
Speaker 2: of a dozen people, right, how many people were there
Speaker 2: thinking the same thing?
Speaker 3: This shot people?
Speaker 1: There were Yankee fans, Dude.
Speaker 3: It's so funny you say that because they did this,
Speaker 3: like you know, those like cly awesome cinematic shots of
Speaker 3: like before the pitch and.
Speaker 1: There's like fourteen guys with.
Speaker 3: Their phones out and there's just there's more empty seats
Speaker 3: than any else, it might be the least viewed perfect
Speaker 3: game of all time. And this is going back to
Speaker 3: the early nineteen hundreds we're talking about, which, by the way,
Speaker 3: let me ask you something real quick. What do you
Speaker 3: think the average amount of pitches is for a perfect game?
Speaker 3: Obviously guys are going the whole way.
Speaker 2: What do you think the average is probably one ten,
Speaker 2: one fifteen because things are going well, you know, so
Speaker 2: typically I match it's like the one to fifteen range.
Speaker 3: Twenty four perfect games in history of baseball. Three of
Speaker 3: them don't have registered pitch amounts. There's two pre nineteen
Speaker 3: oh three era, nineteenth century. Lee Richmond is the first
Speaker 3: ever John Montgomery Ward great name, and then Cy Young
Speaker 3: was the first of like the World Series era starting
Speaker 3: after Cy Young nineteen oh eight, we have pitch counts
Speaker 3: for all the pitchers, So that would leave us with
Speaker 3: twenty one? How many perfect games of the twenty one
Speaker 3: after Cy Young? Because I already told you Cy Young,
Speaker 3: or we didn't have the pitch count, do you think
Speaker 3: we're under one hundred pitches? So twenty one perfect games?
Speaker 3: How many under one hundred pitches? And I'm telling you
Speaker 3: this because you need nevermind ninety nine last night, So
Speaker 3: five of twenty one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ten, wow. Ten.
Speaker 2: It just goes to show you put the ball in play.
Speaker 2: You know, everybody sometimes just overthings to throw strikes, work fast,
Speaker 2: put the ball in play.
Speaker 3: I should I should have let the chat the chat
Speaker 3: starting to guess. I should have, Like, let you guys
Speaker 3: guess ten of those twenty one were under one hundred.
Speaker 1: You blew it.
Speaker 3: It gets crazy, you blew it.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions.
Speaker 2: I want to get to some of these dB already.
Speaker 2: I'm answering football questions for dB. He has one about
Speaker 2: should he dropped Hunter Greed? He has Woodrof Mackenzie and
Speaker 2: Kyle Wright on the il spots. No, you don't drop
Speaker 2: Hunter Greed. I don't think you do that at all.
Speaker 2: Things were turning in a good direction before he got
Speaker 2: hurt with the deeper stats. The Reds are playing good baseball.
Speaker 2: If you're squeezed for roster space, I'm dropping Mackenzie Like
Speaker 2: that's the gay I'm dropping.
Speaker 1: I don't think you see Kenzie the rest of the year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'd also be comfortable dropping Kyle Wright.
Speaker 3: I don't Kyle Right's not that's fine to Kenzie.
Speaker 2: The one that I'm really thinking. You know, we're probably
Speaker 2: not gonna go that route at all. Let's get to
Speaker 2: more headlines here. Blake Snell can't be stopped, won't be stopped,
Speaker 2: never be stopped. Blake Smell the grace picture in the
Speaker 2: history of the universe. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 2: but it just hit me right now we should start
Speaker 2: looking at Blake Snell, Cy Young and now number.
Speaker 3: I mean, that team is dog crap and they're all
Speaker 3: about to write against each other and have an internal implosion.
Speaker 3: So I'm not so sure about that.
Speaker 1: If they do, I'm here for it. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: We're all here for it. But think they can win
Speaker 1: the World Series? He is?
Speaker 3: I bet it's twenty five three, twenty one e RA.
Speaker 1: I don't know the numbers.
Speaker 2: I got to look on betting pros one twenty one
Speaker 2: whip one hundred and fourteen strikeouts and forty two walks.
Speaker 1: Over eighty seven innings.
Speaker 2: So fourteen strikeouts in eighty seven innings and sixteen starts
Speaker 2: unbelievable for him.
Speaker 1: Do you have the number? I want to guess what
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: Oh, no, I can pull it up. Actually, I'm on
Speaker 3: I have I don't have it on our wonderful Betting Pros,
Speaker 3: but I can pull it up on a specific site
Speaker 3: if you would like.
Speaker 2: A specific site, I'll pull it up on Betting Pros
Speaker 2: and see if I can find a better number. But
Speaker 2: what everybody should be doing, you should go down load
Speaker 2: the Betting Pros app that we have it so you
Speaker 2: can see these things at all times, whenever you're looking.
Speaker 2: It's a great way to track the movement in these
Speaker 2: two because if you're following people like me on Betting
Speaker 2: Pros or just following with the app along, you'll see
Speaker 2: what some of these pieces of movements look a good week.
Speaker 2: I'm up thirty I'm at sixty three percent this week
Speaker 2: on the bet So that I got the number for
Speaker 2: you though, all right, I want to say Blake Snell
Speaker 2: right now, I'm gonna go plus twelve hundred.
Speaker 3: And then what spot do you think he is? Like?
Speaker 2: Four?
Speaker 1: Actually know what? I bet it's more.
Speaker 2: I bet I bet it's more like plus eighteen hundred, eighteen.
Speaker 3: Hundred and then what spot?
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know, he's probably like the fifth guy. Okay,
Speaker 2: this guy right now.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm a genius because it's twenty five to one.
Speaker 3: What I said, And he's the eighth on the board.
Speaker 3: Mitch Keller is higher in the cy Young Wards. I'm
Speaker 3: in the Stay Blake.
Speaker 1: Snell And this is the thing you do.
Speaker 2: You in your head say what should the number be?
Speaker 2: Then you look at the number, and if you see value,
Speaker 2: that's when you bet. That's what the best people do,
Speaker 2: who really know what they're talking about. Yeah, plus twenty
Speaker 2: five hundred.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing right now.
Speaker 2: I'm betting pros at bet, MGM at FanDuel at DK.
Speaker 2: It's at points bet at plus twenty to one right now.
Speaker 2: So interesting pieces there ahead of him. I see Wheeler,
Speaker 2: I see Strider, I see Kershaw and Gallon.
Speaker 1: Who I'm still. I'm still.
Speaker 2: And it's funny because I've invested in Strider and Gallon
Speaker 2: and yet I, for some reason, I've also invested in Kershaw.
Speaker 1: I got them all.
Speaker 2: In on the National League, So I Young, I see
Speaker 2: so many different ways that I've invested. Now I'm waiting.
Speaker 2: I haven't made the double dip yet on anybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got like eight bets here.
Speaker 2: You're like, no, no, no, I've got three. I've got
Speaker 2: three and one of them was a free bet. They
Speaker 2: gave me a free fifty dollars bet, so what I do?
Speaker 1: Boom?
Speaker 2: I used it on Spencer Strider at I think it
Speaker 2: was plus fifteen hundred the beginning of the year, Like, yes,
Speaker 2: just take that, put that on there because that's gonna
Speaker 2: make money, because that's ridiculous. That was like the guy
Speaker 2: could I was looking for the guy that was going
Speaker 2: to make the most money back from the biggest odds,
Speaker 2: and it was automatically Strider.
Speaker 1: So now I'm waiting and.
Speaker 2: Typically this is like in July into August is where
Speaker 2: I start to do the double dip where I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 2: now this is my guy the rest of the season.
Speaker 3: Night, So who are you your guy?
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. That's the problem.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell keeps dropping ten strikeout performances and it's starting
Speaker 2: to irritate me, like he's gonna get in the conversation,
Speaker 2: and I want him in the conversation. I don't think
Speaker 2: it's gonna get there, but if he has another three
Speaker 2: or four of these, it's gonna be hard to deny him.
Speaker 2: At this point, do you really think the padres are
Speaker 2: going to implode? Do you think that's gonna happen?
Speaker 3: I mean they are imploding. I mean there's like they
Speaker 3: cannot get this thing right. There's a personnel issue, there's bickering,
Speaker 3: there's fighting. I don't know. I think that it's a
Speaker 3: bad recipe for like, you know, team unity and getting
Speaker 3: offenses going pitching. Darvish is sick and he's kind of
Speaker 3: been a disaster. There's a lot working against them. Plus
Speaker 3: that's a division with the Diamondbacks or Monsters and the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Just the Dodgers are just never going to just roll
Speaker 3: over on their on their backs and let anyone.
Speaker 1: Run their bellies.
Speaker 3: So the Padres have a lot of work to do.
Speaker 3: Not saying the Padres are in a where they need
Speaker 3: to maybe con start moving pieces. But I mean three
Speaker 3: more weeks, I don't know, I don't know, watch for it.
Speaker 2: That was quite an image there, Roy, like I picture Fry.
Speaker 1: Freeman was like, hey, rub my belly.
Speaker 2: Lucas Giolito got that one yesterday and the betting pro
Speaker 2: side nine strikeouts, but a Baning got the w Let's
Speaker 2: go Ezekiozovar continues to be hot. Two four double, two runs,
Speaker 2: three ribies on Wednesday Today, He's gonna get mach Hans
Speaker 2: we'll see how that goes for him. But telling you,
Speaker 2: we talked about Tollvar in the beginning.
Speaker 1: I think it was.
Speaker 2: Monday that we were talking about him. Actually I think
Speaker 2: it was this week. But the guy's been picking things up.
Speaker 2: But recently Mookie Betts, Uh, the three are on Homer.
Speaker 2: So it was a big number on prizepects. I went
Speaker 2: the under and Mookie said, screw you, Joe, now you
Speaker 2: roll over, and Mookie Betts did take on my tummy
Speaker 2: and then here we go.
Speaker 1: Anthony Dicomo of MLB dot Com is.
Speaker 2: Suggesting that internally now they're having conversations about Max. Shurs
Speaker 2: are being moved, so landing spot for Max sures er.
Speaker 2: I think still the Dodgers, well.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the doors for sure. I might throw a
Speaker 3: side dollar on maybe the Texas Rangers. You know, Rangers
Speaker 3: lost to Grom. There's a lot to push. Maybe the
Speaker 3: Rangers jump into the fold here. They've got prospects at
Speaker 3: different levels. They've got so closer to the making.
Speaker 1: All your money.
Speaker 2: No, no, that's the no income tax on the personal side.
Speaker 3: There aren't they getting also a break with de Gram
Speaker 3: being gone for the season. I think they get a financial.
Speaker 2: I imagine they have insurance on it, right, How do
Speaker 2: you not have insurance on Jacob de Grom? I mean
Speaker 2: that's like, I mean, I can't think of something besides
Speaker 2: my car, my house, and Jacob de Grom.
Speaker 1: Those are the three things that you have to have
Speaker 1: insurance on.
Speaker 3: Maybe they could trade Kamar Rocker back to the Man's
Speaker 3: that'd be fine. Injury you could come back to the
Speaker 3: here you go the surgery, you can have him. But
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe even a lighter Jack Lighter could
Speaker 3: go over to the Mets or something like that. I
Speaker 3: think the Rangers are a dark corse. Dodgers make the
Speaker 3: most sense in the world the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll tell you if you go to the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: then that's that number is going to move significantly. Rookie,
Speaker 2: lookie life insurance right and thoughts back Welsh, there's your
Speaker 2: second fought.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about FOT number two? You feel
Speaker 1: it's FOT.
Speaker 3: I almost a sign here, almost had fat Thursday on here.
Speaker 1: I love the little sign. I'm jealous you have the
Speaker 1: little sign. I gotta get one of those.
Speaker 3: It's so much work to find the damn letters too,
Speaker 3: by the way, Like that's why I don't do the
Speaker 3: pain in your.
Speaker 2: Voice of what it takes to find a couple of letters.
Speaker 2: You literally have cees. Please, that's it, It's not it.
Speaker 3: It took me like twenty minutes to just find the
Speaker 3: stupid letters and everything. But I need you do want
Speaker 3: to do a board?
Speaker 1: Would that be better for you, buddy?
Speaker 3: He'd like, I should do a whiteboard and just I'll
Speaker 3: draw back there. That might be a little Actually, that's
Speaker 3: a much smarter idea. I'm gonna do that. Brandon fought.
Speaker 3: He's been good as of recent. I think it's a
Speaker 3: twenty six strikeounts over his last three starts. He hasn't
Speaker 3: been walking as much. He's still giving up Homer's that's
Speaker 3: a problem. I said this last night. This is what
Speaker 3: I'm doing. I'm picking him up today, but I'm not
Speaker 3: starting him. Don't want to start him against this team.
Speaker 3: This is absolutely the type of team where if his
Speaker 3: slider is not getting in the zone, they're just waiting
Speaker 3: on the fastball. Randa rose Reina is going to hit
Speaker 3: one four hundred fees. So I'm worried about that because
Speaker 3: that is his problem. It's all gonna be about command.
Speaker 3: It's all command, like Gavin Williams was able in his
Speaker 3: first start to get away without the command with his stuff.
Speaker 3: Brandon Fought cannot. So you're going to get fauded if
Speaker 3: you put him in the lineup. But I want to
Speaker 3: hold on just in case, just in case the things
Speaker 3: are fixed, because the dame Backs need rotation help. And
Speaker 3: if he is fixed, this is a good sign. So
Speaker 3: you figure out your own league, Like if you need
Speaker 3: to stash him and put him on the bench, do it.
Speaker 3: If he can start, and you can still pick him
Speaker 3: up and do that too. But I'm a little bit
Speaker 3: I'm not no fought sign.
Speaker 2: Today, No no fought investments for me too. I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna sit back and watch and look. I hope it's better.
Speaker 2: It's a tough assignment, you know. The Razor not a
Speaker 2: team that strikes out very much. The Razor a team
Speaker 2: that makes a good contact and then one or two
Speaker 2: guys in that lineup can really burn you, like you
Speaker 2: said Roseena Franco, even Yandi Diaz, like, the.
Speaker 3: Top of the top of the order is the big problem,
Speaker 3: and Fought has had problems when he gets second, third
Speaker 3: time through the order and the top of that freaking
Speaker 3: lineup is like Yandi, want.
Speaker 1: To know what you do?
Speaker 2: Well, Andy, if you really want it on this game today,
Speaker 2: here's what you do.
Speaker 1: Uh you go ahead and you.
Speaker 3: Oh no the phone device?
Speaker 1: Hold on? Can you hear me still?
Speaker 3: We can hear you. We can Joe, don't go, We
Speaker 3: can hear you. We haven't lost you.
Speaker 1: This is great, This is great television.
Speaker 2: Well, what I was saying is, as I figure this
Speaker 2: out because my foot accidentally just closed off something, everyone
Speaker 2: can see my plug now on YouTube is really not.
Speaker 1: But Joe, that's your nickname, nickname.
Speaker 2: This is the X plug.
Speaker 1: This is this is the X plug.
Speaker 3: We've uncovered the X We've uncovered the X plug and
Speaker 3: new nickname. Joe is not allowed to give himself nicknames here.
Speaker 3: It is Joey plugs. Joey plugs. Is it okay? Sorry,
Speaker 3: Joey plugs. Please please keep going all there.
Speaker 2: Impact my foot accidentally clicked off the power strip and uh,
Speaker 2: everyone got to see my ex was a great moment.
Speaker 1: This is why to the show podcast listeners, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Look, if this wasn't the reason to subscribe to get
Speaker 2: us a fourteen k on, what was? But anyway, Brandon
Speaker 2: fought that was amazing That's why I love doing the
Speaker 2: show live TV. You never know what's going to happen again.
Speaker 2: Just foot just knocked that power strip, boom, hit it
Speaker 2: right off, and then everything else was on.
Speaker 3: But of course the power strip was Brandon's fought. Your
Speaker 3: foot was the raise.
Speaker 2: So in game live betting for this game today with FOT,
Speaker 2: watch him, see what he's doing. And then when you
Speaker 2: get to that third time around in the batting order,
Speaker 2: that's when you pounds.
Speaker 1: Depending on what's going on. This is a perfect in
Speaker 1: game live betting scenario. And we don't talk about that enough.
Speaker 2: You know, I wish I had more time in my
Speaker 2: schedule this time of year to do that sort of betting.
Speaker 2: But if you do, if you're just like you know,
Speaker 2: you're sitting around your office, you're sitting around and you're
Speaker 2: just you know, watching listening games you're watching on MLBtv
Speaker 2: or something like that, it's a great opportunity to as
Speaker 2: Wellsha's saying, if even if it looks good, he guess
Speaker 2: that third time around the batting order. Let's say Arizona
Speaker 2: has a lead and the odds are flipped or things
Speaker 2: got real close, all of a sudden it goes to
Speaker 2: plus money side on Tampa because they're down to nothing.
Speaker 1: Boom, that's the time to get in on this.
Speaker 2: That's the time to start live betting some of the
Speaker 2: things that go on that especially what's so fun about
Speaker 2: baseball and being able to do that.
Speaker 3: Especially if the Diamondbacks are not hitting early on, that
Speaker 3: would be something I'd looked through and he might not
Speaker 3: get through the third time theory.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 3: I want him to succeed, but I'm like not here
Speaker 3: for it. Second time through the order I think is
Speaker 3: going to be even more scary. So if it's a
Speaker 3: close game Diamondbacks don't look like they're hitting, I'm actually
Speaker 3: with you on that one. I would be jumping in.
Speaker 3: So that's like second third inning on the on the
Speaker 3: Rays live.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't believe we had a live X plug
Speaker 2: right there, A live very exciting, exciting stuff, all right.
Speaker 2: A lot of injuries to get to that was funny.
Speaker 2: Nolan Aernado removed on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Lower back issue.
Speaker 2: Michael confordo left hamstring titan as he came out of
Speaker 2: yesterday's game. Cabrian Hayes, I don't know if it matters anymore.
Speaker 2: Hits the ten day il retroactive for the twenty fifth
Speaker 2: lower back inflammation. Now, Chris Sale is going to undergo
Speaker 2: the MRI to determine if they can still go forward
Speaker 2: here with his rehab. I'm not holding my breath, kids,
Speaker 2: not holding my breath. Jose L Tuove has returned to
Speaker 2: the Astros lineup yesterday today.
Speaker 1: I've got some investments in him.
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge resumed baseball activities, which include swinging bats, playing catch,
Speaker 2: and eating sunflower seeds. Marcus Stroman has a blister so
Speaker 2: he's gonna throw a bullpen session today. Keep an eye
Speaker 2: on that in those daily transaction leagues. And then you
Speaker 2: Darvish still sick, still not feeling well. Poor you Darvish
Speaker 2: not going to start on Friday. So hope he feels good.
Speaker 2: Here's a fun one. General manager of the Blue Jays,
Speaker 2: Ross Atkins said on Wednesday that he quote absolutely end
Speaker 2: quote expects Alec Manoa to pitch in the majors again
Speaker 2: this season. Welsh, I'm going to set the number at
Speaker 2: point five starts for Alec Manoa with the Blue Jays
Speaker 2: big league club this year.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go over or under that point five.
Speaker 2: Does he make one single start for the Blue Jays
Speaker 2: again in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: Yes, one hundred percent. Outside of the they mysteriously found
Speaker 3: an injury in the arm and they just like shut
Speaker 3: him down for the season and has some surgery or something.
Speaker 3: But I think post All Star break he's back. The
Speaker 3: question is if he stinks, can he can they keep
Speaker 3: him in five more starts? He has to be serviceable
Speaker 3: for them to go. I'm gonna say yes. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: say yes, he gets five more. I think it'll be better.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna be like, you know, six
Speaker 3: and no earned runs over three starts. I don't think
Speaker 3: any of those things are gonna happen. I think he's
Speaker 3: gonna continue be like three four earned run type of guy.
Speaker 3: He'll look similar to how he was before. Also, we
Speaker 3: found out or I heard the over in the complex
Speaker 3: he wasn't working on anything. That was just a straight start,
Speaker 3: that wasn't like a no no, but that was working
Speaker 3: on anything no no. But it wasn't like, you know,
Speaker 3: throw all fastballs to the right corner and all the
Speaker 3: guys knew. It was just like get out there and
Speaker 3: throw and it wasn't something specifically being worked on, which
Speaker 3: is worse. That's worse news. I will say, Yes, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna take the over on the phone, go.
Speaker 1: The under taking the under.
Speaker 2: I'm being uh negative, being moros.
Speaker 1: It's fun.
Speaker 2: Let's go, gonna go the under on that bad boy.
Speaker 2: I just I don't think it's gonna matrom that. I
Speaker 2: don't think he's coming back. I don't think it is.
Speaker 2: It's that zero starts for Alec Manoa.
Speaker 3: With the big zero starts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, point five, I said, point five.
Speaker 3: I'm going, oh, I thought you said five.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so you're over. No matter what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: he doesn't make one. Point five is the number.

Speaker 3: Maybe it is like you and I sitting there and
Speaker 3: it's just us being unplugged, like our brain.
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure a lot of people would like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well sometimes I think that's that's.
Speaker 1: Mike Mayer's dream.
Speaker 2: Both joy and at first I thought it was the
Speaker 2: Ai'm monster again. But my foot, like I said, just like,
Speaker 2: I put it down and it just so happened. It
Speaker 2: must have gotten moved when I moved some equipment around,
Speaker 2: and I guess the powership was like right under my
Speaker 2: foot and then boom turned off, just partially. Everything was
Speaker 2: still running through my computer. Fine, but it turned off
Speaker 2: the connection between.
Speaker 3: Maybe we should go into AI and ask AI to
Speaker 3: create U some X plug logo.
Speaker 1: I will try.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if we could show them on, but
Speaker 2: let's pick some prizes and see what happened.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were very close to locking in our third
Speaker 3: in the last four prize picks yesterday, Wander just didn't
Speaker 3: get it done. We got the other pieces though, so
Speaker 3: we're gonna go with the popular superhero hit fest it's
Speaker 3: all great names. Fantasy scores up. I did think about
Speaker 3: a hater's ball today, but off of a perfect game,
Speaker 3: I don't want to drop a hater's ball, So Hater's
Speaker 3: ball coming soon. This is a superhero lineup of all heroes,
Speaker 3: so we have to have someone in the chat opened
Speaker 3: up today. They said this is how they sounded when
Speaker 3: they did it, because they were trying to be mean
Speaker 3: to me, and they're like, we just well, is gonna
Speaker 3: mention Corbin Carroll Well, twenty five minutes into the show.
Speaker 3: Sucka twenty five minutes because it's Corbyn Carroll is my
Speaker 3: fantasy score with Freddie Freeman rollover and Luis Robert all
Speaker 3: fantasy scores over Carol Freeman Robert. Superhero lineup, all right.
Speaker 2: I'm taking Brian Bellow and Hazel's Lozarro ten point five.
Speaker 2: I've combined picture strikeouts ten and a half over Lozardo.
Speaker 2: I'm all in a Lazardo today, twenty eight and a
Speaker 2: half pitcher fantasy score over, and then Kyle Tucker seven
Speaker 2: point five hitter fantasy score over against a Wayne Right.
Speaker 2: I forgot to do with all the x plogg nonsense,
Speaker 2: the three up and three down so real quick. Jose
Speaker 2: Ramirez with a grand slam again. I had him two
Speaker 2: days ago. I'm like, right, really annoyed. It's like I
Speaker 2: get a guy, I don't pick him. He goes yard
Speaker 2: the next day. Sometimes I go back, he doesn't, and
Speaker 2: then next day he goes yard again. Yesterday, No, No,
Speaker 2: I had Garcia. I changed, I didn't let it ride.
Speaker 2: I had him two days ago. Nope, My life is terrible.
Speaker 2: Nick Cassiano's two for five with a homer. Then you
Speaker 2: had Dayton Dunning with two runs over eight and two thirds.
Speaker 2: Nice bounce backstart.
Speaker 1: He needed it.
Speaker 2: Joey Vado oh for six yesterday with three k's. Drew
Speaker 2: Smiley U three and two thirds of an inning with
Speaker 2: seven earned runs.
Speaker 1: Nice start from him. And Christian Hobvier.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know what's going on, Hobby or four inning,
Speaker 2: six earned runs. It is just not gone well for
Speaker 2: Christian hobber Here.
Speaker 3: When your slider is dead center, your fastball is less effective,
Speaker 3: and you have two pitches, it ain't working. I theorize
Speaker 3: there might be something to two pitch pitchers being more
Speaker 3: volatile in the new pitching environment with no actual shift
Speaker 3: with pitch clocks that are working against them. I think
Speaker 3: that's a at least did go yard yesterday?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 2: He did?
Speaker 3: I think he did?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I'm okay.
Speaker 2: You know, I just saw the rare mirrors thing and
Speaker 2: I just went blind with rage of like I can't
Speaker 2: believe I keep screwing this up. I yesterday I was
Speaker 2: doing shows till eleven o'clock at night, so I totally
Speaker 2: missed any I just went straight to bed. I missed
Speaker 2: out a least hitting a home run, so good, Yay,
Speaker 2: I'm still loungyay.
Speaker 3: You look at you.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the betting stuff. Lozardo, It's all he's
Speaker 2: Wazarro today. Five and a half pitcher strikeouts over. You're
Speaker 2: getting a decent number one ten at this one. Jose
Speaker 2: L Tuove going over point five, you're getting plus one
Speaker 2: seventy five over on the RBI total. And then Mookie
Speaker 2: bets point five on the RBI number two. You're getting
Speaker 2: a decent number as well. You're getting plus one ten there.
Speaker 2: So keeping it simple today. I don't love a lot
Speaker 2: of the betting stuff today against another those days where
Speaker 2: I'm just real careful. Welsh, do you have anything that
Speaker 2: really sticks out for you.
Speaker 3: Well, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you guys
Speaker 3: what I have, But I think I'm gonna take it
Speaker 3: off the board because I think I saw Wonky say
Speaker 3: that Corey Seeger's not in the lineup. I did like
Speaker 3: the Texas Detroit over two and a half runs through
Speaker 3: the first three innings. Boy the minute, I was like,
Speaker 3: awesome one first threes the last couple of days. But
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna kind of come back on that.
Speaker 3: If Corey Seeger's not in the lineup, it still is
Speaker 3: in play because of both pitchers. But I feel a
Speaker 3: little bit less confident about that. I do feel better
Speaker 3: about I get a little money line, partly for you Cleveland,
Speaker 3: New York Mets money line a little over one and
Speaker 3: a half plus one fifty seven if you lock those
Speaker 3: two in and would you look at this. I'm on
Speaker 3: Shane Bieber taking the money line for it, and I'm
Speaker 3: going to take his strikeouts here minus one thirty up
Speaker 3: against the I think it's the Royals today. Isn't that correct?
Speaker 3: Isn't that correct?
Speaker 1: Here?
Speaker 3: Why they kicked him? Because the Royals averaging a decent
Speaker 3: amount of strikeouts per normally over the last three, averaging
Speaker 3: twelve strikeouts per game. Beavers have been a little bit better.
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm on the beabs.
Speaker 2: Hey today, I'm up to sixteen homers. Now yesterday, yesterday
Speaker 2: I had at at least the day before jose Er Miraz.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's what was the mix up there.
Speaker 1: So I'm about.
Speaker 2: Sixteen, getting somewhere near that, getting into the twenties. I
Speaker 2: might gonna light push here. Well that'd be the end all.
Speaker 2: Everybody really love that, Like I make that late push.
Speaker 2: I like to be right at the top of the
Speaker 2: board before August first.
Speaker 3: Now I don't well, yeah, I like.
Speaker 1: And I walk away.
Speaker 3: And then also, what will you do, because you can't
Speaker 3: just say Aaron Judge in perpetuity? What will you do?
Speaker 3: Or will you say Aaron Judge?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, I will have to wait and see if it
Speaker 2: evens worth me doing that. Let's talk a little bit
Speaker 2: as well about another fun thing that we like to
Speaker 2: do besides on run calls. And that's so rare MLB.
Speaker 2: So if you haven't already give it a try, it's
Speaker 2: see it's free, you get your digital cards, you compete.
Speaker 2: It's Fantasy Baseball, but instead you have these players, it's
Speaker 2: like your own little keeper team. And then you can
Speaker 2: go ahead and make moves and you can trade in
Speaker 2: cards and Welsh. We're saying that rip thing sounds like
Speaker 2: really fun too. You just rip the card apart there,
Speaker 2: which is something we'd like to do with a lot
Speaker 2: of players right now.
Speaker 1: Cards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all the fields today, lots of feelings. Anyway, sign
Speaker 2: up for free at fantasypros dot com slash collect that's
Speaker 2: the place to go for so rare and when you
Speaker 2: sign up, join the league fantasypros dot com slash Leading
Speaker 2: Off League again.
Speaker 1: Check it out. Look at these guys. They look so
Speaker 1: cool in this picture too.
Speaker 3: You know we need Joe, we need Leading Off trading cards. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we need so rare digital cards. We need our own
Speaker 3: digital cards and then we need our own physical cards.
Speaker 3: And maybe I did this with itl for a bit,
Speaker 3: but it's like, not only do you have the normal
Speaker 3: like us, but then you have the variations. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like bug hair, Welsh hat, Welsh x
Speaker 3: plug Joe cras.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a garbage pail kid x plug Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a good that would be great. We
Speaker 3: like a garbage pill leading offset. We can have like
Speaker 3: specially get.
Speaker 2: A piece of the tr like you know, he get
Speaker 2: like a piece of the Jerseys. Oh yeah, get like
Speaker 2: a car that gets like a piece of the crown.
Speaker 3: And then we'll have variations just like a bogman, a wonky,
Speaker 3: a mayor a worm right those and yeah I think.
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, mayor is a common part. That's what he is.
Speaker 2: Uh dfs today, Hazuslizzardo stop even heard this?
Speaker 1: Ten point two.
Speaker 2: I'm just all in, Max Shuars if you want to
Speaker 2: save a little money. At nine point seven, pretty good matchup. Again,
Speaker 2: we hold our breath. But Sures has been better than Verlander,
Speaker 2: so I'm willing to go down that road, especially if
Speaker 2: he wants out. This is prime Sures a time to
Speaker 2: have a good run if he does want out of
Speaker 2: New York and raise the stock so somebody takes him
Speaker 2: out of the Mets situation, the Dodgers, the Houston Astros,
Speaker 2: and the Yankees. It's from looking for offense today. David
Speaker 2: Peralta is a value at two point eight. Jose Bray
Speaker 2: You's swinging the bat better this month two point seven,
Speaker 2: and Jean Sigura two point.
Speaker 1: Zero free square Welsh.
Speaker 2: I'm going Pete Alonzo for the home run call today,
Speaker 2: trying to make it two days in a row.
Speaker 1: We'll see if I can get that done.
Speaker 2: If you look at the board, but a bing JJ
Speaker 2: Tator is now with Razor, Baby, big moves happen mom,
Speaker 2: Razors got company at the top of the board. Hoffman
Speaker 2: is at the third spot, then prim Tam at twenty
Speaker 2: six and fourth, so really Razors have the lead at
Speaker 2: the top, but now he's got some company with Tator again.
Speaker 2: If you want to pick home runs, make some calls,
Speaker 2: go premium today at Fantasypros dot com slash Premium and
Speaker 2: then join our discord Fantasypros dot Com slash Chat.
Speaker 1: Welsh your home run call the day. I'm going Polar Bear,
Speaker 1: who you got.
Speaker 3: By the way, I was just talking to mister Dennis
Speaker 3: Sidler of Sidsgrafs, who's going to be providing that helmet
Speaker 3: for us, and we might have a date for his
Speaker 3: Corban Carrol signing. And the theory is there's nothing guaranteed,
Speaker 3: but the theory is when it might happen, it might
Speaker 3: be here, and I will go. I will be at
Speaker 3: if it happens here. If it's in Phoenix. I will
Speaker 3: be going to it and I have a proposed day
Speaker 3: if it is accepted. So just putting it out there
Speaker 3: and maybe I'll hold on to it. Maybe I will
Speaker 3: hold on to the helmet for the final month before
Speaker 3: it's sent out or something. We'll have some fun. But
Speaker 3: I will be a masochist today and I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: against my Diamondbacks because I said it before. I think
Speaker 3: Randy rose Arena is a guy that eats up players
Speaker 3: like Brandon Fott. So I'm going with Randy rose Arena
Speaker 3: today against the Diamondbacks and Brandon telling.
Speaker 2: You live betting that game, that's the way to do it.
Speaker 2: So that'll do it for us. But the story of
Speaker 2: the game goes on for the Welsh. I'm Joey p
Speaker 2: We back again to do it.
Speaker 1: All one more time tomorrow as we always do. Have
Speaker 1: a great day, kids, enjoy your baseball.
Speaker 2: Bye.
Speaker 3: It's an unplugged Joe
