Speaker 1: when you do when you use the promo code leading
Speaker 1: Off at Bet three six five. It's me Joey p
Speaker 1: That's the Welsh and it's you, the Peanuts and the
Speaker 1: Cracker Jackson. We are very excited today because Welsh, we
Speaker 1: did it again. And when I say we, I mean
Speaker 1: all of you. Really, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: we're just the facilitators. We're the window dressing. You guys
Speaker 1: are the YouTube channel and you did it twenty thousand subscribers.
Speaker 1: Let's go, baby, very excited about this. We hit the
Speaker 1: twenty k on Friday after the show, Welsh. What a
Speaker 1: time to be alive. This is exciting and we've got
Speaker 1: another special brand of stupidity coming for our audience because
Speaker 1: we are men of our word and we are pretty
Speaker 1: dumb at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't. I don't know how much of a secret.
Speaker 2: We want to keep the whole thing we can, but yeah,
Speaker 2: we hit it. I remember I don't remember what the
Speaker 2: number was. I want to say it's a twelve or
Speaker 2: something about when I came about maybe it was even less.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, maybe it was under ten. But twenty
Speaker 2: k is huge. It is literally thanks to you, you
Speaker 2: guys literally subscribed. But it is pushing baseball more and more,
Speaker 2: which we want. You guys are awesome and Joe and
Speaker 2: I will make absolute asses of ourselves in the very
Speaker 2: near future. As in the plan on Friday. So Friday
Speaker 2: is going to be, in theory a pretty big show.
Speaker 1: Yes, make sure you tune in live on Friday. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna want to miss this. We have some big
Speaker 1: plans going on for Friday and the theme of the show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thanks to all of you. Oh yeah we do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we get lots of plans. Yeah, it's gonna be sure.
Speaker 1: You don't want to miss it for sure. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: let's get to some of the things you don't want
Speaker 1: to miss too, because besides twenty K, unfortunately Trey Turner
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out six weeks with a hamstring injury,
Speaker 1: which is a bit of a bummer because you have
Speaker 1: a much better start to the season that he did
Speaker 1: last year. So that all becomes how do you approach
Speaker 1: this because not a lot there on the waiver wire
Speaker 1: at the position to get super excited about. If Junior Caminaro, however,
Speaker 1: comes up and he's still available in your league, he
Speaker 1: qualifies a shortstop, that would be where I'd be looking
Speaker 1: for the six weeks. But where are you looking for
Speaker 1: the one to two week range as you're trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how to replace Turner in your lineup?
Speaker 2: Because it's well we actually someone tweeted us this interesting
Speaker 2: article Tampa Bay Tribune, I think it was, and it
Speaker 2: was it was another cold water situation being put on
Speaker 2: Junior Cameronaro and the whole race situation, and I've continuously
Speaker 2: kind of broken it down. They could easily get him
Speaker 2: in at d H if they wanted. Right now they're not,
Speaker 2: and maybe that's due to some playing time things, and
Speaker 2: maybe you know, the only thing I haven't done and
Speaker 2: I'm probably not gonna be able to do here properly,
Speaker 2: but I should be have looked and seen what the
Speaker 2: current game log looks like for Junior Cameronaro. Has it
Speaker 2: been solely third base? Has it been a lot of shortstop?
Speaker 2: Because it might be one of those situations where they're
Speaker 2: going to want to continue working at a at a
Speaker 2: certain spot before we're actually gonna be able to get
Speaker 2: junior camera up here. So back to your question of
Speaker 2: you know where you're going with it, it's probably not
Speaker 2: going to be in the Philly side. I wanted to
Speaker 2: say a guy like zach Netto started kind of bouncing
Speaker 2: back up. He said a good couple of weeks. Maybe
Speaker 2: that's somebody that you can go and bounce to. But interestingly,
Speaker 2: all these prospects that we're getting up, none of them
Speaker 2: are really in the space of infielders. It's like first
Speaker 2: baseman and outfielders through and through, and we're going to
Speaker 2: talk about the biggest one today. So zach Netto might
Speaker 2: be one, but unfortunately trade turners the type of guy
Speaker 2: you just aren't gonna find the proper replacement for. You're
Speaker 2: gonna have to go out a position to make up
Speaker 2: probably most of those stolen bases. By the way I
Speaker 2: did it that whole time. Kevin Arrow has not played
Speaker 2: a single game at shortstop this year. It has been
Speaker 2: no qualify, but he is only third base in the
Speaker 2: minors so far this year. The only thing I was
Speaker 2: bringing that up is that theory of like would they
Speaker 2: kick Caballero to the to the curb, so camin Aro
Speaker 2: could play some shortstop. Doesn't look like it, so this
Speaker 2: would have to be a Parades goes to DH or
Speaker 2: him and Keman aar.
Speaker 1: That movie for It's one of my favorite eighties films.
Speaker 1: Parades goes to DH. Oh, such a good this is
Speaker 1: a classic. I think John Candy was in that. Paradis
Speaker 1: goes to DH. I'm just looking around the waiver wire
Speaker 1: right now. Miguel Rojas, the Dodgers last fifteen days has
Speaker 1: been pretty good. Rochio, like it's it's tough out there
Speaker 1: in the streets right now. Like I'm just saying, like
Speaker 1: it's is not the best situation.
Speaker 2: You have to make some moves. You're gonna have to
Speaker 2: make some moves here in the very near future. Trade
Speaker 2: video coming out in the next twenty four hours for
Speaker 2: some of those trades.
Speaker 1: All right, you kind of tease this, so let's get
Speaker 1: to it. The Guardians are gonna promote Kyle Manzardo from
Speaker 1: Triple A. Today is the day, y'all three oh three,
Speaker 1: three seventy five, six forty two slash nine Dingers twenty
Speaker 1: Ribies in twenty nine games. So expectations I picked him
Speaker 1: up are high. Picked him up in our Fantasy pros
Speaker 1: ESPN league, so I'm excited to stash him all my
Speaker 1: benchers like a two player bench on there, so you
Speaker 1: know a lot of space. So I had to drop
Speaker 1: James Wood for him. But you know what, Manzardo's up now.
Speaker 1: I think that's a move I make. So expectations for
Speaker 1: Manzardo going through here. We're talking about maybe him playing
Speaker 1: some first dah a little bit him and they are
Speaker 1: kind of going back and forth in that role. Do
Speaker 1: you think that's going to be the case.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is the Manzalorian time, because this is the
Speaker 2: way for Kyle Manzardo with an under twenty percent k
Speaker 2: percentage in the miners, which I think was huge as
Speaker 2: a strikeout rate started to rise a little bit last year.
Speaker 2: He'd always been a really low strikeout guy, and I
Speaker 2: think people forgot that, but with the K rate coming
Speaker 2: up and the batting average sinking over that last year,
Speaker 2: everyone forgot how good he was. AFL he comes out here, reestablishes.
Speaker 2: Go back and listen to my interview with him. You
Speaker 2: want to hear like this really smart, intuitive guy that
Speaker 2: he is on my Prospect one podcast, and you know
Speaker 2: you can hear him talk about, you know, his approach
Speaker 2: to hitting and how those adjustments and things he didn't
Speaker 2: work on last year with the Rays, how those things
Speaker 2: change going into the Fall League where he started hitting
Speaker 2: the ball for average again, did all his things, and
Speaker 2: it's translated all of that blah blah blah. It translates
Speaker 2: into this year of him hitting over three hundred, super
Speaker 2: low strikeout rate and eleven percent walk rate, nine homers destroyed,
Speaker 2: and now you have a situation where the outfielder hits
Speaker 2: the il in kwan they've been put in, which is
Speaker 2: like ridiculous. They had been putting Estevan Floriel and Will
Speaker 2: Brennan at that DH spot. Well, now those guys plus
Speaker 2: David Fry apparently are all going to work on the outfield.
Speaker 2: So this should be kalmen Zardo playing, I assume almost
Speaker 2: every day at DH. I think that's where they're going
Speaker 2: to start, maybe a day or two flip with Josh Naylor.
Speaker 2: So he is going to struggle a little bit. If
Speaker 2: the team is looking for more flexibility, that'll be a problem.
Speaker 2: But you know, the like he has the blueprint of
Speaker 2: what the Guardians want, low strikeouts, high walks, and the
Speaker 2: thing that not a ton of them do big power.
Speaker 2: So I think this is a guy that could absolutely
Speaker 2: crush some homers love to see him that higher in
Speaker 2: the lineup. I'm not having full expectations of it, but
Speaker 2: I am maybe a bit more optimistic than most on
Speaker 2: Calm Manzarto. So yeah, he's kind of a must pick up.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm taking him over Heston Kerstein, who
Speaker 2: you know had been put into that platoony role, that
Speaker 2: type I got maybe Joey Loper, Fido like those players.
Speaker 2: I want Manzarto over Graffito.
Speaker 1: Thing drives me a little crazy. I gotta say, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Singleton's been hitting, but still I
Speaker 1: think that's probably the only reason. If Singleton has been
Speaker 1: struggling here in the last week, I could see, you know,
Speaker 1: you give him a shot. I get it, man, Like,
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Like, let's move to the
Speaker 1: future a little bit, because the Astros are a team
Speaker 1: that did lose those draft picks, and at some point
Speaker 1: in time that's going to come to fruition in this organization. Right,
Speaker 1: you got players who are older, Yeah you got Alvarez,
Speaker 1: Yeah you got Tucker, But you need the low grafitos.
Speaker 1: To get acclimated to the major league level, you need
Speaker 1: these young guys to hit it, like literally and figuratively.
Speaker 1: Here if you're the astro, so not giving him playing
Speaker 1: time and bringing him up, it's like, what are we
Speaker 1: doing here? I'd you bother doing that if you're not
Speaker 1: gonna get him in there every single day. I just
Speaker 1: don't get it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean the rookie platoons are pretty difficult.
Speaker 2: I think like that's like kursed odd Like bringing cursed
Speaker 2: out up and then only having him hit in a platoon.
Speaker 2: That can be difficult. That's actually one of the reasons
Speaker 2: why so many of these guys when they struggle or
Speaker 2: when a guy comes back that they were replacing, the
Speaker 2: team is like, yeah, this guy is good enough to
Speaker 2: be a major leaguer, but they've got to go down
Speaker 2: to play every single day. I don't think it's advantageous
Speaker 2: for a lot of rookies to be doing really any
Speaker 2: sitting early on, and I'm hoping the guardians are going
Speaker 2: to be aggressive, but we've also seen just a massive
Speaker 2: onslaught of lack of production. We call it like bat
Speaker 2: x victory lapping of rookies stinking so you know, I
Speaker 2: don't believe.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's's gonna break this cycle. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: Paul Skins that's gonna come in there. He's gonna just
Speaker 1: blow the doors off anybody. Old man Imanaga so far,
Speaker 1: the old rookie. He's been the best rookie. Let's let's
Speaker 1: just call it what it is. He's been the best rookie.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear any other nonsense. Luis Arise
Speaker 1: got traded. Marlins are like, what's today May We're out
Speaker 1: of it. We're out of it. It's over. It's gonna
Speaker 1: throw our hands up. What a what an organization the
Speaker 1: Marlins are. And it's funny. This was the team last
Speaker 1: year they played well. This is the team last year
Speaker 1: that competed. I just you throw your hands up, I
Speaker 1: guess at the end of the day. So Arise is
Speaker 1: now going to be the leadoff guy. So that's a
Speaker 1: good situation. He's going to a better lineup. The guys
Speaker 1: hitting behind him are much better. It's not going to
Speaker 1: change the perspective all that much. The run total will
Speaker 1: be higher, RBI total will still be low. The batting
Speaker 1: average will be always what it is, which is high
Speaker 1: above three hundred. But is there a false sense in
Speaker 1: the market now of a Rise being worth more than
Speaker 1: he is because of this trade to San Diego? And
Speaker 1: also I want to get your take on some of
Speaker 1: the prospects that move back to because you are the prospect.
Speaker 2: Guy and I know all these prospects because it was
Speaker 2: with the Padres. First off.
Speaker 1: Yes, I know personally, like you hang out with them,
Speaker 1: kind of know them.
Speaker 2: We're like, no, not like personally. I mean I've hung
Speaker 2: around some of.
Speaker 1: Them a little bit after hours clubs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm too old, Like can you imagine, Like I.
Speaker 1: Think they're too old? These guys just go back to
Speaker 1: their hotel rooms to play video games. Now it's not
Speaker 1: the eighties anymore, that's true.
Speaker 2: It's actually very funny. Like the Potters facility too. They've
Speaker 2: got like these these like not hotels, but like like
Speaker 2: apartments and stuff that are right next to it, and
Speaker 2: all these guys stay there. So they like have like
Speaker 2: their little like electric bikes and they just cruise around
Speaker 2: the facility and you see him going through the parking
Speaker 2: lot and then they'll be like one guy with you
Speaker 2: know that you know baller car that like seven of
Speaker 2: them jump into like it's just a weird space.
Speaker 1: That would be a funny idea for a TV show. Actually,
Speaker 1: now that I'm thinking almost like he's down kind of show. No,
Speaker 1: like an older player who is like making his comeback,
Speaker 1: and he's like trying to interact with all these young guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't go out or anything.
Speaker 2: Or they're jose Bray, you thirty six year olds hanging
Speaker 2: out with like twenty two year olds and yeah.
Speaker 1: But like they all have social anxiety and they don't
Speaker 1: want to go outside. They just want to play mad
Speaker 1: and he wants to go out.
Speaker 2: And you know, oh yeah he's trying to take a
Speaker 2: girls take him to clubs.
Speaker 1: And yeah, like I think that would be hilarious.
Speaker 2: I mean that was It wasn't. I didn't He's finding
Speaker 2: down kind of do that and then.
Speaker 1: I know, like he went to the Mexican League, but
Speaker 1: that was a whole other kind of weirdness.
Speaker 2: Like, Yeah, I like your idea. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 2: Joe you can play that, Carrett You'll be but yes,
Speaker 2: all sense of security, I completely agree. Trade video. I
Speaker 2: am going to talk about Louisa Rise because I do
Speaker 2: think this is one of those situations you take a
Speaker 2: perceivably I mean, he's a better real life player than fantasy.
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure that's majorly arguable outside of points leagues,
Speaker 2: but you take a rise out of that. You put
Speaker 2: him into the padres and there's this excitement he's leading off.
Speaker 2: Runs will go up one hundred percent, but he's still
Speaker 2: not going to hit homers. It's a worse hitter environment.
Speaker 2: He doesn't steal bases. So I take this false sense
Speaker 2: of excitement and I want to trade. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: completely agree with what you were saying about that. On
Speaker 2: the prospect side, it was a huge trade. Dylan Head
Speaker 2: was the big main guy on this. He was just
Speaker 2: drafted huge speed, kind of a smaller guy that has
Speaker 2: built into his body into a way that it's like,
Speaker 2: if this guy starts hitting fifteen plus homers, he's the
Speaker 2: type of guy that can feel fit fifty US, steal
Speaker 2: fifty plus bases out of Chicago. Very interesting guy. Bat
Speaker 2: has not picked up, but he's the big core. Jacob
Speaker 2: Marcy is the other one that I have been just
Speaker 2: very vocal about for a really long time because he
Speaker 2: was great in the AFL. I think he is a
Speaker 2: tooled out outfielder who can hit. He's shown big massive
Speaker 2: ability to hit for power, not like massive power, but
Speaker 2: he's shown the ability to connect and barrel the ball.
Speaker 2: So I think there's fifteen plus homer power in there,
Speaker 2: and he can steal the crap out of Basis. So
Speaker 2: I love the Jacob Marci one. I thought he could
Speaker 2: break camp with the team, so that was a shock
Speaker 2: to me. They also got Nathan Martarella, who some have
Speaker 2: comped to Kyle Manzardo. I don't think it's really there,
Speaker 2: but he's got some good power and Woo stuck go
Speaker 2: the reliever is going to be going over there. So
Speaker 2: you've got like Wu and Marcy who are probably the
Speaker 2: closest major league guys who will get time this season.
Speaker 2: So keep an eye out for Jacob Marcy now because
Speaker 2: they're going to probably trade Jazz Chisholm. The rumors are
Speaker 2: out there. At some point it's going to happen.
Speaker 1: That's the stunning on Like I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what that hall looks like for jazzism. Its still a relative,
Speaker 1: very young player with a ton of upside, Like you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay through the nose to get.
Speaker 2: Him a look a lot bigger than that one. And
Speaker 2: I and I got to tell you a lot bigger.
Speaker 1: Oh. I if it doesn't, then the Marlins have failed.
Speaker 2: I think the Marlins did a good job. They didn't
Speaker 2: get any of the big pitching prospects from the Padres,
Speaker 2: but they got all the hitting prospects from them, So
Speaker 2: I actually think they did.
Speaker 1: A really good job in your opinion, Like what team.
Speaker 2: Well, I saw a lot of the fun rumors about
Speaker 2: the Dodgers would be looking at it, and Miguel Rojas
Speaker 2: and and him would be, you know, right back at it.
Speaker 2: I think a team like the pot the Mariners would
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense. You know, they've needed some
Speaker 2: more outfield help. That would be a guy that can
Speaker 2: get on the bases a little bit more. That's just
Speaker 2: one that came to top of mind, you know, Yankee.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's handfuls of winning teams that
Speaker 2: would want to look into, maybe the Phillies. It's just
Speaker 2: what assets the teams have to give away. I think
Speaker 2: the Mariners would have assets. But the whole point of
Speaker 2: that is is he's going to be traded at some point,
Speaker 2: and it may not take the trade. Jacob Marcy will
Speaker 2: be the guy that gets some time this year and
Speaker 2: he's probably got a chance to hit high in the lineup,
Speaker 2: So I don't know if he's going stash now or
Speaker 2: if you have na spots. Sure, but keeping a lookout
Speaker 2: for him, and I would pick Marcy up when he
Speaker 2: becomes available because the speed, the runs in the batting
Speaker 2: average will play probably better than the power. But he
Speaker 2: might be a fantasy dude.
Speaker 1: What about the what about the Rays?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the Rays stink they're awful, Like what would
Speaker 2: they They don't why.
Speaker 1: They need to get balls to the offense.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I just don't know if that would.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're looking to make moves.
Speaker 1: Hear me out, The Rays stink, they're awful. Now next
Speaker 1: year they get Springs him McLanahan back, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, this rotation looks like a lot more formidable.
Speaker 1: And now you've got Kevin Arrow, you got Chisholm, you've
Speaker 1: got Heritis. All of a sudden, you're like, whoa, this
Speaker 1: is a team now, Like this is not a deal.
Speaker 2: This is great.
Speaker 1: Has a couple of years left on his deal, doesn't not?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'd have to look at what it is.
Speaker 1: I want to say, let's drop us in the chat walk,
Speaker 1: you know all the answers to these things. Let us
Speaker 1: know how much time was left for gas Chism. Was
Speaker 1: he on the clock? Let's get to the rest of
Speaker 1: the headlines though, great stuff. Well breaking down the prospects
Speaker 1: there months ye three homers this weekend in one game
Speaker 1: and ten strikeouts for him. Glass now up at the top,
Speaker 1: by the way, in this conversation for for saw Young
Speaker 1: as I predicted he would be. Indeed, John means eight strikeout,
Speaker 1: seven shoutout endings and a win over the Red So
Speaker 1: great start for him. And speaking of returns, Justin Steele
Speaker 1: is back today, Welsh Are you starting Justin Steele today?
Speaker 2: I am, I actually am really tempted to take the
Speaker 2: strikeout prop on him. It's it's relatively low. It's just
Speaker 2: the padres. They don't strike out a ton and even
Speaker 2: I mean there's like I think, god seven pitchers all year.
Speaker 2: It might be a few more that have had five
Speaker 2: or more strikeouts against him starting pitchers. They're just not
Speaker 2: a big strikeout team. Justin Stiel has had some really
Speaker 2: good runs either way, it's exciting. I think you can
Speaker 2: put him out there. It's a tough matchup with a
Speaker 2: Rise at the top of the lineup. But yeah, I'll
Speaker 2: put Justin Steel right back out there. I feel less
Speaker 2: confident about Bueler than I do Justin Steel. I just
Speaker 2: saw somebody mention we're getting Steel and Bueler back today.
Speaker 2: Bueler me, I don't know, maybe Justin Steele.
Speaker 1: Yes, there you go. Some people have both of them going.
Speaker 1: There you go. Look at Kyle. Kyle's running against the
Speaker 1: He's like Icarus. He's up there, flying right close to
Speaker 1: the sun.
Speaker 2: I love it, Kyle.
Speaker 1: You do you, girl? You do you? All right? Before
Speaker 1: we get to more ups and downs from the Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball weekend, don't forget everybody. We've got fun stuff
Speaker 1: to get away, including a tropy Smack Fantasy Baseball Championship Belt.
Speaker 1: Hit us up right now on the YouTube channel by
Speaker 1: following us twenty thousand. Come join the party, baby, comment
Speaker 1: on any of the videos, and of course, this trophy
Speaker 1: Smack Fantasy Baseball Championship Belt can be yours. I love
Speaker 1: it like the cross.
Speaker 2: I know a great day to give this away. I
Speaker 2: know a great day to give that belt away.
Speaker 1: Joe, Oh, I do too. I think Friday would be
Speaker 1: a good day to give it away. I have to
Speaker 1: check and see how much longer we're running after promotion.
Speaker 1: Ye could be, could be a great day. Here's some
Speaker 1: fun stuff. Logan Gilbert eight shut out it seriously, please
Speaker 1: everybody listen to me. Just invest in Seattle. Okay, this
Speaker 1: pitching staff is insanely good there. Hopefully Kirby's okay, but
Speaker 1: like this pitching staff is gonna be so good and
Speaker 1: it's one hundred and sixty two game season. Please invest
Speaker 1: in Seattle in your shares and futures. Twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: major league debut, which is a big you know what.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty War debut for Alec Manoa. Alec Manoa did
Speaker 1: Alec Minoa thing? Seven run, six earned good for you?
Speaker 1: And Jose God yeaht all still four bases and that's
Speaker 1: a pretty impressive thing. It was against the Mets, but whatever.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Mets, Christian Scott looked really good in
Speaker 1: his first outing, six strikeouts, one run, over six and
Speaker 1: two thirds. He pitched it to the seventh inning. I
Speaker 1: had to like do one of those like cartoon things
Speaker 1: where I rubbed my eyeballs and I went Christian Scott's
Speaker 1: in the seventh inning is still happening there? And look,
Speaker 1: it was a terrific outing for him. I don't want
Speaker 1: to see Tyl R mcgil. I don't want to see
Speaker 1: Adrian Howser is already into the ballpen. I don't even
Speaker 1: see him anymore. I don't need to see Sean and
Speaker 1: I I need to see the future. If I'm the
Speaker 1: Mets fan, the futures. Now, stop wasting Christian Scott in Tripla,
Speaker 1: stop wacing bhutto let these guys just pitch through. Senga's
Speaker 1: on his way back. Your thoughts on the Christian Scott.
Speaker 2: Start, Yeah, Wan, I'm trying to pull up some of
Speaker 2: the stat cast stuff because I think it's interesting. Here
Speaker 2: we go. But I watched some of the start. He
Speaker 2: was like five innings and the reason he went so
Speaker 2: long was because it was like five innings in with
Speaker 2: like fifty pitches. I had likened some of his stuff too,
Speaker 2: similar to like really, actually what you want more from
Speaker 2: Brandon fought because you know he'll implement like sinker sweeper.
Speaker 2: They keep going back and forth. It's kind of like
Speaker 2: a it is a splitter. Sometimes they qualified as a
Speaker 2: change up, which is super weird. But he was great
Speaker 2: eighteen swing and whiffs in this game thirty five percent
Speaker 2: csw thirty five percent swing and whiff rate. He had
Speaker 2: eight whiffs on the fastball, six on the sweeper, and
Speaker 2: four on the slider sweep, just you know, flies a
Speaker 2: little bit further down. The splitter did a little bit
Speaker 2: of setting up. It's so funny thinking about when I
Speaker 2: said about Logan Gilbert, where it was like, you know,
Speaker 2: really good fastballs set up the splitters, and he's just
Speaker 2: been amazing, And in this case, the splitter was just
Speaker 2: kind of an offering to keep to keep guy eyes
Speaker 2: honest because his fastball was so great and he was
Speaker 2: pumping his fastball up high. He showed really elite command,
Speaker 2: which was great. We said last week and I said, like,
Speaker 2: this is a great matchup for him to you know,
Speaker 2: go up against the Rays and not hitting a lot
Speaker 2: of homers, and he was efficient. He looked fantastic. I
Speaker 2: don't know how they justify him not being in the
Speaker 2: rotation for a little bit longer. He's going to get
Speaker 2: some more bullets. But the command, the poise, and the
Speaker 2: efficiency I thought were really really key. He didn't get
Speaker 2: like rattled, you know, they never really got to him.
Speaker 2: So I thought the swing and whiffs were great. I
Speaker 2: think the pitch mix is better, and he really was
Speaker 2: like everything I expected from when we first saw Brandon
Speaker 2: fought in those years of being able to kind of
Speaker 2: control the different points of his own fastball up over sweeper,
Speaker 2: you know, boom, splitter down like it's really really unique.
Speaker 1: What he does look impressive first outing, and I know
Speaker 1: Tampa struggling offensively, but still impressive. Mason Black will be
Speaker 1: promoted from triple to start today against the Phillies, so
Speaker 1: we see how that goes. One e r point nine whip,
Speaker 1: twenty nine strikeouts, eight walks, twenty six innings so far.
Speaker 1: What are your scouting reports about Mason Blacks as a
Speaker 1: guy people should be adding or no?
Speaker 2: Not against the Phillies.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't say start, I can say add.
Speaker 2: I think you gotta wait. I think you gotta speculate.
Speaker 2: What I will say is what he just did in
Speaker 2: the PCL. You have to acknowledge, like you putting up
Speaker 2: a one era in the PCL and not getting obliterated.
Speaker 2: That alone is worth paying attention to. But he's a
Speaker 2: big fastball slider guy. I don't like this matchup, and
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you in my prospect report, I
Speaker 2: put Carson wizen Hunt, even who is a level lower
Speaker 2: than him, above him, just because I also think they
Speaker 2: might want to look at adding some lefties to the
Speaker 2: rotation at some point, and you know that is that
Speaker 2: is Carson wizen Hunt. But we'll wait and see. But
Speaker 2: I do think the the PCL numbers are something to
Speaker 2: pay attention to because that is a usually explosive environment.
Speaker 2: And he is absolutely dominated here and he's in a
Speaker 2: pitcher friendly place, so that's great, but not this matchup,
Speaker 2: not against the Phillies overall. I'm gonna if you want
Speaker 2: to get him on the bench, I mean, Zach Wheeler,
Speaker 2: I'm betting against him today. I'm betting against Mason Black.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, Jackson Cherio, Oh for two more of
Speaker 1: the rookie lookie stuff right here again. Not a great
Speaker 1: slash two nineteen two sixty five three fifty two, four homers,
Speaker 1: thirteen RBI, six deals. Though here's my thing, striking out
Speaker 1: too much thirty five strikeouts. That was the thing in
Speaker 1: one hundred and fourteen played appearances that you were talking about,
Speaker 1: Like the strikeout right, Cheerio could be a little bit
Speaker 1: of a problem early on. Look he's a green player,
Speaker 1: he's young. I'd be buying everywhere. I'd be buying everywhere.
Speaker 1: I think it's the kind of kid. Either one or
Speaker 1: two things are gonna happen. He's either going to pick
Speaker 1: it up at the major league level or he gets
Speaker 1: sent back down. Here's a cover off the wall, trip
Speaker 1: play comes back and as good the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: That's typically what happens a confidence builder thing. So either
Speaker 1: of those two outcomes for Cherio, in my opinion, I'm buying.
Speaker 1: So I'm good with that. Chase the laughter, by the way,
Speaker 1: broken foot, so he's gonna miss some time. That was
Speaker 1: a guy early in the season we talked about maybe
Speaker 1: at some point, but again, Manzardo, it's all about the
Speaker 1: man child. Three up and three down Threek Scuoble another
Speaker 1: good outing for him. He is at the top of
Speaker 1: the boy right now for the cy young Grace, folks,
Speaker 1: don't look now. He's ahead of Corbyn Burns. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do an episode on betting pros by the way, where
Speaker 1: I'm gonna catch everybody up this week on the futures market.
Speaker 1: Do that once a month kind of thing. Just kind
Speaker 1: of set the tone for what's going on with the
Speaker 1: awards and the futures and the team totals and spoiler,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of seattle stuff in there.
Speaker 1: But also Anthony Santander three for four with a homer,
Speaker 1: two runs scored five ribbis eleven and excuse me, an
Speaker 1: eleven to one win over the Reds. And then showe
Speaker 1: Otani with a four for four but not one but
Speaker 1: two dingers, show hey is red hot. Three down, Logan Webb,
Speaker 1: that's so great? Five runs, four earned six hits. Not
Speaker 1: the best four ings of work, so Logan web some downstars.
Speaker 1: Freddy Peralta. Two of the last three starts been rocky
Speaker 1: for him. Six walks again the control issues there for Peralta,
Speaker 1: which there were none of them in the first like
Speaker 1: four or five starts, and all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: last couple got a little wacky there. And Eduard Julian
Speaker 1: you gotta just ride the wave. It seems like it's
Speaker 1: gonna be these days. Struck out all three times at
Speaker 1: some point there against the Red So there you go,
Speaker 1: as they say, you know, there's gonna be some ups
Speaker 1: and some downs in those spots. I'm sorry right now,
Speaker 1: I can't quite see the chat. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on there on the on stream yard something got
Speaker 1: wacky there. I got an alert, so apologies that I
Speaker 1: can't bring your comments.
Speaker 2: They're talking, they're just look at all these things they're
Speaker 2: saying about Joe. Oh yeah, good. You can't see the
Speaker 2: chat Joe. They're just they're just smack talking right now.
Speaker 1: So it's just like normal, okay. Good injury news, The
Speaker 1: Padres put Joe Musgrove on the io with a right
Speaker 1: triceps tendonitis. Welsh, you got the good start, the best
Speaker 1: start of the year from Musgrove, and he's off to
Speaker 1: the il.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Yeah, a little behind the scenes for you.
Speaker 2: So my trade video, oh yeah, pull the curtain back
Speaker 2: a little bit. I recorded the trade video. I do
Speaker 2: it on Sundays. I had. I had a whole thing
Speaker 2: I wrote up about Joe Musgrove and why to sell.
Speaker 2: And it's not like the you know, huge crazy thing
Speaker 2: because his stats stink. But it was like, you just
Speaker 2: got this awesome start, and I was open to the possibility.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe this is the start of it, but nothing
Speaker 2: tells you that it was. So I was selling it
Speaker 2: and then an hour later he got put on the il,
Speaker 2: so I had to revamp from it and take him
Speaker 2: off there. But yeah, this is this is horrific. Everything
Speaker 2: about this has been a bad It's been a bad
Speaker 2: start to the year, last year, so many things, more injuries.
Speaker 2: I still stand firm to it. If he gets back,
Speaker 2: comes back, I probably am gonna sell, like if you
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to get out once he gets back.
Speaker 2: I know it's hard beggars being choosers with starting pitchers
Speaker 2: right now, but if he can return stack a starter
Speaker 2: or two, I'm moving out on it. But yeah, this
Speaker 2: is no boinno. This is bad news.
Speaker 1: I see your comments, Jake Watkins, because now I'm watching
Speaker 1: on the YouTube channel too, so I see you. That's right.
Speaker 1: You want to talk smack about me when my back
Speaker 1: is turned. That's okay, I love you.
Speaker 2: I was actually joking, by the way, I noticed that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: on our back end the comments stopped here, but on
Speaker 2: the YouTube.
Speaker 1: I can see him going, well, I want to make
Speaker 1: sure that everyone could still comment, because.
Speaker 2: Are they talking smack? I was just making that up.
Speaker 1: But now Welsh has a handsome devil. Somebody wanted to
Speaker 1: know where you got the cream colored Arizona Diamondbacks hat
Speaker 1: at the stadium.
Speaker 2: Actually, both of my Diamondbacks hats for whatever reason, I
Speaker 2: only get them when I go to games, and I'm
Speaker 2: a sucker. My wife she is so upset with the hats.
Speaker 2: I actually had to buy one of those things.
Speaker 1: And where she's got like five thousand hats.
Speaker 2: No, but it's a long hanging rack that you can
Speaker 2: put hats in in the closet and I stack them.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to probably get another one soon. So
Speaker 2: what I'm waiting for is, at some point people used
Speaker 2: to send me hats. We're gonna just get like more
Speaker 2: minor league hats sent and stuff like that, and it's
Speaker 2: gonna be like Wonky Wonky has an impressive walk to
Speaker 2: my base her hats. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Seriously, Yeah, Welsh's gonna be in the shed pretty soon.
Speaker 1: The Mariners with George Kirby underwent a precautionary MRI on
Speaker 1: his right knee, So let's see what that brings us.
Speaker 1: Evan Phillips, hopefully you only have to be the minimums
Speaker 1: day on the injured list. Edward Rodriguez undergoing additional testing
Speaker 1: on his lat, so stay tuned for that, folks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were just testing it. He's by the way, EDWARDO.
Speaker 2: They said they were just testing and because he said
Speaker 2: he was feeling good and if the things or solid
Speaker 2: that he would then go out and start throwing program
Speaker 2: and we would see him pretty soon and I would
Speaker 2: probably see him. It was in a complex league, all
Speaker 2: complex rookie ball just started on Saturday. I'm gonna do
Speaker 2: a breakdown about it on Prospect one and I'm gonna
Speaker 2: actually go out later today and I might you've seen
Speaker 2: Johnny Cuato. Johnny Cuato might be pitching in one of
Speaker 2: these complex games.
Speaker 1: But Eduardo Joe, he's old enough at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: Seriously, Johnny Quato is like God, that's like fifteen years ago. John.
Speaker 2: You know what's great about this show. By the way,
Speaker 2: this idea of the show is you also have you
Speaker 2: know how you have to a lot of shows have that,
Speaker 2: like Villain of the Week. You have to have the storylines.
Speaker 2: You could have this ever connecting storyline, but you every
Speaker 2: single week could just have some like special actor come
Speaker 2: in and they could play a major league that's rehabbing
Speaker 2: while this guy's trying to get that.
Speaker 1: You just have.
Speaker 2: I love your show idea. I have seen producers follow
Speaker 2: us on Twitter. There's got to be a producer out there.
Speaker 1: There's a few. I'm sure they'll steal it from us
Speaker 1: and we'll get nothing out of it.
Speaker 2: That's yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, Don Shaw is gonna set me off.
Speaker 1: Who are we taking going forward? Pages or j Rod?
Speaker 2: They're they're trying to pay Hoss.
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't get good No pas Pages,
Speaker 1: I don't care what we want to call.
Speaker 2: Him, No gold jacket, green jacket.
Speaker 1: Who seriously, bro, I'm gonna lose it. Uh. Pepio, who
Speaker 1: had been so good by the way, Uh, he unfortunately
Speaker 1: left his start yesterday, so we'll keep an eye on.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen any update. I haven't it, but yeah,
Speaker 2: he got hit the shin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my guesses were okay here, Like I don't want
Speaker 1: to lose Pepio. He indeed been. But I'm telling you away,
Speaker 1: next year that raised rotation, it's gonna be pretty good.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be pretty solid. Stephen Kwan to the I
Speaker 1: l of ten days for the hamstring, A white Langford
Speaker 1: is gonna be placed in the isle at some point.
Speaker 1: I see people in the chat have been bitching about
Speaker 1: this since the ship started.
Speaker 2: Missus I can't.
Speaker 1: Why can't everyone just go on the ale when they
Speaker 1: tell us? Why do we have to wait in fantasy
Speaker 1: for all these sights to like do like it's so frustrating.
Speaker 2: We are finally in the space I will relent because
Speaker 2: I haven't been. We're in the space in Redraft where
Speaker 2: you could cut White Langford. You're better suiting to put
Speaker 2: him on the ayel and wait for it. No, but seriously,
Speaker 2: now it's a perfect thing. Now, this is like the
Speaker 2: best thing that could happen. Is the iyel stand for him? No,
Speaker 2: it is because if you can put him on the aisle.
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of people that have these like
Speaker 2: ten and short, shallow twelve man leagues that are like,
Speaker 2: should I make this move? Should I make that? Like
Speaker 2: Langford's been okay, Like all of these rookies have just
Speaker 2: been okay. In Redraft, you can make some of those cuts.
Speaker 2: But great opportunities in Dynasty across the board for all
Speaker 2: of these prospects fatigued people.
Speaker 1: All right, Grayson Rodriguez through a flat ground. Garrett Whitlock
Speaker 1: said he felt good after bullpen session. Christian Javier looks
Speaker 1: to rejoin the Astro's rotation. Earlier in this week and
Speaker 1: as I mentioned before, Quodai senga live bullpen session Saturday.
Speaker 1: So there you have it, everybody. Hey Welsh, you know
Speaker 1: what time it is. It's Monday. You know what that means,
Speaker 1: I do. It's time for the best bets of the
Speaker 1: day with Joey p and the Welsh. Make sure you're
Speaker 1: making your wages over on a bet three six five.
Speaker 1: Go right now, sign up bet five bucks, get one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteenponent's bets. When you do, when use the
Speaker 1: promo code of leading offense one word leading off it's
Speaker 1: easy to remember. At bet three six five the Welsh.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what we got ahead of us today.
Speaker 1: You and I are both on Cole Reagan's but I
Speaker 1: want to start here with the Mariners instead on the
Speaker 1: money line minus one twenty six against the Twinkies here.
Speaker 1: I love this opportunity. The Mariners to me again, this
Speaker 1: is a team that I'm buying everywhere. The Twins offense
Speaker 1: right now, you see, you know, Julian striking out a
Speaker 1: ton yesterday, Buxton's hurt, like this is a team that's
Speaker 1: still waiting for whenever you eventually you get Royce Lewis back.
Speaker 1: That's when the Twinkies will start looking like the Twinkies again.
Speaker 1: But until then, you know, they're just gonna be the
Speaker 1: Twinkies and not the Twins. So I'm going with the
Speaker 1: Mariners on the money line. The Phillies we mentioned before,
Speaker 1: going against a rookie pitcher. Look, maybe this rookie pitcher
Speaker 1: has been fantastic, you know, Mason Black has been really
Speaker 1: good at tripa A so far. But he's going up
Speaker 1: against Zach Wheeler today in Philadelphia, four o'clock in the afternoon. No,
Speaker 1: thank you. Give me the Phillies on the run line
Speaker 1: minus one and a half here plus money. I can't
Speaker 1: believe you're getting plus one to weight on this. By
Speaker 1: the way, actually, let me reset that because I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: It's not against the A set. It's against the Giants. Wrong,
Speaker 1: wrong team today for.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's bay Area.
Speaker 1: You have the right, no, but it's it's this is upsetting.
Speaker 1: See it's Monday. I got a case of the Mondays today.
Speaker 2: We had to get up earlier. I am, I had
Speaker 2: to get up there.
Speaker 1: We talked about this earlier, and we talked about it
Speaker 1: and it was the wrong team. And now we're gonna say,
Speaker 1: Joe doesn't even know who's playing today, and that's gonna
Speaker 1: be the U two comments and you're right. I made
Speaker 1: a mistake. I will own it. It's the Giants today.
Speaker 1: I put this together at six thirty in the morning,
Speaker 1: so my head is a little off. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Phillies still Zach Wheeler, still on the run line, still
Speaker 1: against the Giants plus money give it to me. Royals
Speaker 1: on the run line minus one and a half as well.
Speaker 1: You're getting minus one oh five. It's a good number
Speaker 1: against the Brewers. The Brewers the last fifteen days Welsh
Speaker 1: they have struck out more than any other team except
Speaker 1: for one. So this lineup right now is big time
Speaker 1: struggle bus which is why I also for the parlay
Speaker 1: of the day, like Cole Reagans over six and a
Speaker 1: half strikeouts at minus one oh four. You can then
Speaker 1: pivot if you want to go really heavy and at
Speaker 1: your number, you can get the Royals right now on
Speaker 1: the run line minus one and a half. But if
Speaker 1: you want to play a little safer for the parlay,
Speaker 1: which I think I do, Royals money line minus one
Speaker 1: forty two. Cole Reagan's over six and a half strikeouts.
Speaker 1: You put them together, you get plus one eighty seven
Speaker 1: and it would be more like three or four to
Speaker 1: one on the other side, depending on where you're betting it.
Speaker 1: Obviously for the Royals run line with Cole Reagan's, but
Speaker 1: I think the money line is the safer of the
Speaker 1: two for the parlay. So despite the fact that I
Speaker 1: confuse my Bay Area teams for a moment, it's Monday.
Speaker 1: You gotta shake the dust off the weekend, Welsh, what
Speaker 1: do you have for the folks for the bets of
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 2: I'm on similar stuff, exactly what you're talking about here.
Speaker 2: Philly minus one and a half against the A's or
Speaker 2: the Giants or combined. It doesn't really matter because I
Speaker 2: this is Zach Wheeler play to me. We talked about
Speaker 2: Mason Black. He has been awesome. He's dominated the PCL.
Speaker 2: I actually think that is what is driving a lot
Speaker 2: of some of the low totals that are kind of
Speaker 2: you know, going with this. It's plus money. I think
Speaker 2: I saw plus one fifteen for Philly be up by
Speaker 2: one and a half. I know Trey Turner losing trade
Speaker 2: Turner it definitely has an effect on this. But I'm
Speaker 2: backing I'm backing Zach Wheeler shutting this team down. I
Speaker 2: really like that Phillies eighth in scoring in baseball right now.
Speaker 2: But again, this is a Wheeler versus a rookie pitcher situation,
Speaker 2: So yes, give me Philly minus one and a half
Speaker 2: on the run line. You mentioned Cole Reagans. That's also
Speaker 2: one of my plays. The strikeout numbers, they're actually a
Speaker 2: little bit more tantalizing today. There's quite a few that
Speaker 2: I kind of wanted to do. The justin Steel one
Speaker 2: Luis Castillo is interesting against a team that strikes out
Speaker 2: like crazy because I'm kind of interested in that, But
Speaker 2: I'm settling on Cole Reagan's. You know you mentioned on
Speaker 2: the as far as your strikeout stat he has been
Speaker 2: putting some good strikeout games together. Is as far as,
Speaker 2: like you know, him being able to get big swing
Speaker 2: and whiffs. I'm not sure that that is going one
Speaker 2: hundred percent playing in but it's a good k percentage
Speaker 2: matchup for him. And then I'm going with a total
Speaker 2: bass play. And there's actually a couple that I like,
Speaker 2: but the one I'm picking today Francisco Lindor total bases
Speaker 2: one and a half over. It's plus one fifteen and
Speaker 2: maybe better if you're looking around three p fifty two
Speaker 2: lifetime average against Kyle Gibson. He has five hits over
Speaker 2: his last four games, and four of those five hits
Speaker 2: extra bases. So give me over two to one and
Speaker 2: a half two total bases for Francisco Lindor on even money. Yes, please,
Speaker 2: those are my bets, and I might drop a few
Speaker 2: more over the next couple hours.

Speaker 1: Let's do that. And I apologize. And you know what
Speaker 1: I think. When I was thinking Mason Black, I started
Speaker 1: to think about Mason Miller and my eternal love for him,
Speaker 1: and then it became the giants became the a's.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that you care. I don't care, I say
Speaker 2: my brain is going to gajillion miles of mick. I've
Speaker 2: looked at everything all day, so if I mess it up,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh wow, that was dumb, stupid brain of mine.
Speaker 2: But I'm not to let it beat me up. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna let that one go.

Speaker 1: home run call the day is, of course show Hey Otani,
Speaker 1: That's where I'm going here. I did not get a
Speaker 1: chance to upload the new board yet, so let me
Speaker 1: do that while you make your home run call, and
Speaker 1: then we'll take a look and see what the tail
Speaker 1: of tape from the weekend was.
Speaker 2: Feel you should have been obligated to pick an A
Speaker 2: for your home run call today for that mess up,
Speaker 2: you should be obligated to pick shy lngliers or something
Speaker 2: like that. Uh, you know, I did think about Francisco indoor.
Speaker 2: I think that's a good play. Bryce Harper was another
Speaker 2: that I was just kind of sitting around on, but
Speaker 2: I ended up settling on Bobby ah.
Speaker 1: Making us today.
Speaker 2: I'm going Bobby Wad Junior. Bobby Wad Junior. He's got
Speaker 2: a great home run matchup against the pitcher.
Speaker 1: Who you started off so well today.
Speaker 2: And I'm forgetting who they're phasing, but I love Bobby
Speaker 2: wind Coat. It was a long brain Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: No long weekend, A lot of stuff going on here,
Speaker 1: but let's look at the board here. I stripped us
Speaker 1: away to our bare bones for us.
Speaker 2: To make us naked again.
Speaker 1: That was very scary. Here, here you go. Here's the
Speaker 1: home run board. I'm hanging by a thread of ten.
Speaker 1: Still I got to eight this weekend.
Speaker 2: I got to freaking eight, and I was like, there's
Speaker 2: a chance I could make the board.
Speaker 1: Chance, not one on this, not on the board yet
Speaker 1: there so ten right now for me, Welsh is at eight,
Speaker 1: so close, but still the top is still the thirteen.
Speaker 1: So look, there's plenty of time in this one. And
Speaker 1: you're giving away a Vladimir Guerrero autographed that hopefully vlad Guerrero.
Speaker 1: By the way, Vlad Guerrerol. Your comments on his season
Speaker 1: so far be where we had.
Speaker 2: Been super underwhelming Grand Slam this week.
Speaker 1: I had high expectations for him though, everybody at the
Speaker 1: Grand Slam this weekend. But I'm just saying, like, is
Speaker 1: that like I went. I want something like that to
Speaker 1: be the thing that like spurs him and turns him
Speaker 1: around like slow April. We can all kind of handle that.
Speaker 1: But I feel like the general buzz in the baseball
Speaker 1: community was, hey, Vlad's in great shape. Vlad was hurt
Speaker 1: all of last year. This is going to be a
Speaker 1: return to greatness for Vlad, and it hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 2: I think it's there. I think when you're looking, when
Speaker 2: you're gonna look at like the underlying side of it.
Speaker 2: The second highest hard hit percentage of his career, currently
Speaker 2: highest walk percentage. He's barreling more than any other year
Speaker 2: except for twenty twenty one average. EV's good. His expected
Speaker 2: batting average is around forty higher ish right around that spot,
Speaker 2: thirty points higher than his current He's just the problem
Speaker 2: was was he was such a projections darling that the
Speaker 2: expectations were so high. If he ends up hitting two
Speaker 2: seventy five and hits thirty homers. That's kind of a disappointment.
Speaker 2: There'll be some point where the expectations finally kind of
Speaker 2: temper a little bit. But I think he's still a
Speaker 2: great buy. He's starting to click murdered mckenzi gore on
Speaker 2: that Grand Slam this weekend, so it's a good time
Speaker 2: to buy once he gets going. Also, his K percentage
Speaker 2: just gone up while walking, so that I think that
Speaker 2: is putting yourself in some bad counts which are going
Speaker 2: to change. And we saw some of this last year
Speaker 2: with the Blue Jays too, Vlad and Bobashett getting killed
Speaker 2: on sliders and stuff like that. I think that's going
Speaker 2: to just I think he's going to be in a
Speaker 2: good spot and he's a pretty good bye right now.
Speaker 1: Big huge shout out to all of you, the Peanuts
Speaker 1: of the Cracker Jacks. Well, I want to say when
Speaker 1: you came in here, we had eight thousand on the
Speaker 1: YouTube channel when you first came in.
Speaker 2: You know that number sounds about right.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm as when you came in and start
Speaker 1: doing the show with me, and now it's twenty two
Speaker 1: years later, and all I can say is to everybody,
Speaker 1: this is a little engine that could. And it's because
Speaker 1: of all of you who join us live here, the
Speaker 1: people who are in the discord, the people who are
Speaker 1: making home run calls. And if you're just a listener
Speaker 1: of the show too, because you don't have time, because
Speaker 1: you're actually, you know, working for a living and doing
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to be doing. Instead, I'm watching us,
Speaker 1: and you're listening back to the podcast, or you're watching
Speaker 1: all the videos. Go drop the comments and the reviews,
Speaker 1: the five star reviews over on wherever you get your podcasts,
Speaker 1: because again, this is your show. It's our show collectively.
Speaker 1: And let me say this, that's what's been so fun
Speaker 1: about this kind of ride here.
Speaker 2: And you know you deserve a lot of credit because
Speaker 2: I haven't been here the whole time. There no credit, no, no,
Speaker 2: you've been here since day one. You help push this
Speaker 2: and in turn, for many different reasons, you're one of
Speaker 2: the reasons that I have a full time job in
Speaker 2: the industry. Not just because of obviously the our friendship
Speaker 2: and what you've done for me, but you started this up.
Speaker 2: You push the baseball agenda even higher here at Fantasy Pros,
Speaker 2: And then I like to think that I got to
Speaker 2: you know, join in and help make it better. And
Speaker 2: I've been here for more than half of the growth
Speaker 2: and it is amazing. And you guys should know the
Speaker 2: care that Fantasy Pros puts into wanting baseball to be
Speaker 2: more and more.
