WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off April 12th, 2024 (EP. 789) 0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:09.479 Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is meeting 0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.280 off live, bought to you by three six five. That's right, 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:14.760 that's right. We're love in a three six five. Oh viha. 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:16.920 I don't think that's an area code, but it should be. 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.840 We're talking about our sponsor bet three six five bet 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:21.960 five bucks, get one hundred and fifty and bonus bets 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.200 when you used that promo code leading off, It's me 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:27.400 Joey P. It's the Welsh, it's you. It's Friday. It's 0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.720 a fun Friday. The Peanuts and the Crackerjacks are here. 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:31.920 In fact, they're here in such force that they're dropping 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.400 messages and they can't even be here to listen live 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.760 because they're gonna listen back. So I want to start 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:38.479 things off here with a question to take a lot 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.560 of questions today, heading into a busy weekend and coming 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.080 in red hot. Here with a great question from Lee Gi. 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.800 I can't be there live today because somehow I guess 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.080 he's got a job or a life. How dare you? 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:49.720 Lee? 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.040 How dare you? Serious? Question from your favorite cracker Jack? 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.360 Here we go, would you start Hunter Brown? Next week? 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.160 Two starts versus Atlanta and at Washington. My bench options 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:02.960 are fought, and so I'm going with fought. I would 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.080 probably even go Seve Reino against Pittsburgh. I am not 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:10.559 starting Hunter Brown. He has been dreadful. Your thoughts, Welsh 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:11.800 on sitting Hunter Brown. 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.120 In a two start week, No, sir, not doing it. 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.960 Not against Atlanta. Atlanta alone takes me off of it. 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.200 You could maybe pick on Washington, but Washington hasn't been 0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.480 striking out. They've been getting on Bass. CJ. Abrams is 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:28.200 kind of on another level. Washington's not the gimme. Atlanta 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.320 is a huge No. Brandon Fought's the name here. Don't 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.679 love the matchup, which Chicago's another one of They don't 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.759 strike out a bunch, they walk and everything like that. 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.120 Fought still a little home run heavy, though I'm going 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.880 to be playing him today. Fought against Chicago way over 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.400 Hunter Brown. There's no chance I trust Hunter Brown right now, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.120 and not within Atlanta matchup. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.880 Hunter Brown right now seven innings pitched over his two 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:51.280 starts so far this year. 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.720 Seventy three hits. Yeah, there's a big old pregnant pause there. 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.120 I was like, where are we going? Where are we going? 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:58.840 It was for effect, and I think it had the 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.560 effect three excuse me, that's even more embarrassing. Three starts, 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.840 seven to two thirds innings, twenty three hits. No, no, boy, no, 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.040 he's giving at fourteen earned runs. The whip is at 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.040 three nine to one. The whip looks like an ERA number, 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.760 and the ERA number looks like, uh, you know, when 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.000 I get on a scale after the buffet, it's it's crazy, 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.520 it's no good. You can't you gotta wait and see 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:20.960 what happened. 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.239 His start was so abysmal. It's definitely one you just throw. 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.040 You can definitely throw it in the trash. I think 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.680 he's a better pitcher. But the things that stand out 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.120 here he had forty pitches because he couldn't get through 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:35.519 the game one whiff on eighteen swings. But with the swings, though, 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:40.240 was the contact. His fastball thirty eight percent in the zone, 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.480 so he could not hit the fastball anywhere. And then 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.200 guess what knuckle curve, curve he throws, splitter and slider 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:51.160 all seventy five percent or higher in the zone. I 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.160 would say, you don't want to throw a splitter in 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.480 the zone that much. Also your curve, so these dudes 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.880 were not having to swing at a fastball because it 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.320 couldn't go anywhere, and then I could just lift off 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:04.560 versus secondaries. So let's wait to see the ship get righted, 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.200 especially if you're gonna commit to two. But I don't 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.880 like me any Hunter Brown right now. Also the Astros, 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.600 they've been kind of crappy. 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:14.200 Especially against the Braves too. Especially against the Braves. All right, 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.959 you know something we do like Jared Jones eight more strikeouts, 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.760 gave up three runs and six and a third. I 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.600 don't know where the ceiling is here with Jared Jones, 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.200 but my god, Welsh, it has been spectacular to start 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.640 the year for him. He is one of the better 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.320 stories right now. If you look at him, the era 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.560 sits at four. He's got eighteen innings, fifteen hits given up, 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.240 but twenty five strikeouts in just two walks. That whip 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.360 is at point ninety four. Batting average against at two seventeen. 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.320 Jared Jones has been one of the I mean, let's 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.400 just say it, He's probably been the best pitching value 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:45.960 on the board so far in twenty twenty four. Would 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:46.440 you agree? 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.080 Yeah, I mean he's up there. I feel like there's 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.320 like one or two others, but he's at the tippy top, 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:53.480 So who is the magger than him? Yeah? No, no, 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.440 I mean semantics like I don't eat Garrett Crochet would 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.800 probably be one of those. But Jared Jones has been awesome. 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.640 Hey listen, I might have to up my hand up 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.400 after that first start in my trade video, I was like, hey, listen, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.040 you need to over now or the next start, or 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.080 to maybe consider trading a guy like Jared Jones at 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:11.880 the tippy top. For the people that are like he's 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.440 a top twenty five sp understanding like, hey, things go right, 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.839 But I gotta tell you, he has looked incredible. You 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.000 know that. But it's also been some of the matchups. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.080 So in this one, this is like the I think 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.880 it's like the third straight start he's had where when 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.880 he pitches he has had the highest whift rate of 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.880 the day. But you also are seeing some of the maturity. 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.400 The things that have worried me is like if he's 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.360 gonna be a primary fastball slider guy throwing a little 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.400 bit of curve and change, Like, we're gonna have to 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.039 see if that's gonna work well. In this last start 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.880 he ended up throwing more sliders than fastballs. Is forty 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.520 five to forty four percent thrown. He had a fifty 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:52.520 percent with rate, twenty two swings on that slider. And 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.640 we're also talking about a big, powerful fastball, And this 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.479 is what I've worried about. That fastball is awesome and 0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.560 he loves to pound it like up in the zone. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.640 What's gonna happen when guys are on the fastball a 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.640 little bit and they stopped swinging at it. Well, this 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.599 is when it was. He had seventeen swings on the fastball, 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.200 only two whiffs, so the fastball didn't get anything done, 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.360 but he just ate up the phillies with the slider. 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.279 So you actually said it really best. I don't know 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.239 where the ceiling is, Heart of hearts. I still feel 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.440 like this is a guy that if someone's willing to 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.720 absolutely unload at this point, if you were to send 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.880 to Jared Jones for George Kirby, that person might not 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.799 freak out. I don't know, so maybe I'm gonna. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.200 Think someone would free. I think that is a stunning 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.640 revelation of a trade right there, Like you just threw 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:37.240 that out there like it was nothing, But that is 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.600 one where you've invested a what second third ish round 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.599 pick on George Kirby. Are you willing to get out now? 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.880 Are you terrified enough to take the hot three starts 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.279 of Jared Jones? I mean that is huge. I was 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.880 gonna say again, I'm looking at the veterans like the 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.680 returning Verlander. Would you rather have returning Verlander the rest 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.080 of season, because goodness knows the Astros need him in 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.960 that rotation, Or would you rather have Jared Jones, the 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.400 younger guy who you don't know what's ahead of him 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.320 the rest of the season. It's a really tough dilemma. 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.719 I think I might on that specific one. I might 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.000 lean on Jared Jones. I'm completely open to the possibility 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:18.320 that Jared Jones, Jared Jones maintains this relative level. Listen, 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.800 here's one thing, though, I do think, like as awesome 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.479 as that fastball is, he can get hit kind of 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.479 hard and he can't get banged around. If you watch 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.000 this game, he gave up a couple first inning singles, 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.120 was able to get out of it. Kyle Schwarber bang 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.840 hard and stuff like that. So he's still, though, maintaining 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:37.000 this is slider fastball changes. I think people can kind 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.080 of get to him. But the difference is is like, 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.040 do I think he can be better than Justin Verlander 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:42.359 for rest of the season. I kind of can with 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.760 those strikeouts tho strikeouts are money at this point. But 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.000 now with three of these games under his belt, where 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.240 we're all losing our mind, we're seeing consistency and we're 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.600 seeing him go do this against really good teams like Philadelphia, 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.880 the return could be so much bigger. So I don't know. 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.520 I'm not the biggest trader in the world, but we 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.840 talk lots about flipping and moving and stuff like that. 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.920 If you've got Jared Jones, you're not big trade league. 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.400 Just love it. Just love what you're dealing with. But 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.080 if there is somebody out there that has to have 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.960 Jared Jones because he's, you know, whiff leader near the 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.360 top of the season, maybe you could sell him at 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.640 the very tippy tippy tippy top because this is a 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.400 rookie with rookie inning caps. But all of that aside, 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.960 he has looked awesome and he's doing things that veterans do, 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.400 especially with this slider fastball flip he did in this game. 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:27.840 That's the type of stuff you want to see. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.240 Yeah, it's it's very exciting. For sure, And it might 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.160 be one of those circumstances where you drafted him so 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.680 late he is, or he maybe picked him off waivers. 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.480 He's worth more to you than anybody else because you 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.520 got him for nothing. Yeah, and he's more valuable to 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.240 your roster than taking a chance on a bi low 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.440 candidate like a Castillo or a Kirby. I mean, it's 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.520 kind of crazy to think those deals will be entertained, 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.840 but I think they might be. Bobby Miller after a 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.920 rough start. Is that a trade you would make? Who'd 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.600 you rather have rest of season? Bobby Miller or Jared Jones. 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.160 I feel like I'd still rather have Bobby Miller. I'm 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.040 a little bit worried about, like how bad it's been, 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.880 but Bobby Miller's really seems to just be like a 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.680 commandy type of thing, like he's got great stuff that 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.400 Jared Jones got great stuff too. I would take Bobby 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.520 Miller at this point, but that I do think those 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.600 guys are closer than where we were before. Bobby Miller's 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.520 come down a little bit. Jared Jones obviously come up 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.360 a whole bunch, But yeah, I mean that's that's a 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.040 risk I would probably take He's. 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.160 In the trade video this week too on the channel 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.960 if you haven't seen it. I'm mad because I did 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.760 the Waiver Wire video yesterday, sent it out there, all 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.480 set on Wednesday, actually recorded on Wednesday, sent it all 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.200 out there, comes out Thursday. Oscar Colis is in the 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:36.880 video and guess what he gets sent He. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.560 Yeah, I know, he's Some people pissed. They were like 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:42.000 they literally burned an option for him to come up 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:43.960 and like pinch hit and then just kick him to 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:44.280 the curb. 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.080 What the hell are we doing? What do we do 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:47.880 in White Sox? Look. The other reason I'm excited about 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.480 Jared Jones is because I get to sing Jared Jones 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:56.120 and me, tell me it will be big stars, tell 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:03.920 each other fairy yeah, yeah, yeah. It's raining in Pittsburgh. 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:10.560 And I'm so upset. He was always so sad j Me. 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.800 I like that, All right, let's go to the royals. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.000 There in the headlines Bobby wit Homer twice. I'm so 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.640 mad because I remember I told you I was like, oh, Schwarber, 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.400 and there was another guy was considering, and I went 0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:22.000 another way. Bobby Witt was the other guy, and I 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:23.480 would have had two more. I would have had double 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.160 digits and I'm so mad, but that's okay, that's okay. 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.920 We will move on. Stolen base. Bobby Witt is gonna 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.120 be in the MVP conversation. Vinnie Pasquentino continues to be hot, 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.400 droven three more runs, and Brady Singer last week's Waiver 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.120 Wire pickup of the Week. Five innings, one run, four case. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:40.880 He looks good. Welsh, what do you make of the 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.400 Royals right now? Who are red hot? 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:46.360 Listen? I did a video in the preseason with Justin Mason. 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:49.439 He came on and Justin it was a bold predictions episode, 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.440 and Justin's bold prediction was that the Royals were gonna 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.040 make the playoffs. And then I think we even might 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.520 have translated that a little bit into the over on 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.520 wins with something good to check out. It's a pretty 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.120 well constructed team. I've liked this team. Michael Waka was 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.360 my guy. He's pitching today, He's pitch well. Seth Lugo's 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.640 pitch well. Brady Singer has pitched well, and that offense 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:12.760 has been locked in, you know. Mikel Garcia kind of 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.800 a little bit up and down, but Vinie's finding himself 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.679 and it's all led by Bobby Wade Junior, don't I 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.200 wouldn't be surprised if this team even made some acquisitions 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.000 later in here. But yeah, there's great fantasy assets to 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.080 be had and the team is scoring a ton of runs. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.760 I don't know if it'll continue, but yeah, this is 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:29.600 why I had Bobby wait Juniors the number two overall 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:30.319 fantasy player. 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.520 Next up on the headlines, Mason Miller got to save 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.679 struck out two more guys. You know, a buddy mine 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.640 actually brought up a great point too, and he's his 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.840 name isn't Scott Malkinson, but he does have diabetes. And 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.000 he said, you know, Mason Miller is a diabetic and 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.600 that's also something about managing his blood sugar levels and 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.040 things like that. He said, if you are somebody who 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:52.840 has that, like, it's much easier to be in a 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.920 controlled environment around it. And I thought that's a really 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.560 brilliant angle. There are another reason to just keep him 0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.760 in that mode. I thought that was really genie. JP 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:04.080 Sears blanked the Rangers six and a third innings, so 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:05.560 it was a good day for the A's. So I 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.000 want to put it in the headlines because it doesn't 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.760 happen very often. John Gray had a good day against 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.440 the A's, but it didn't matter. Five innings, nine strikeouts 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:16.640 for him, So Bradford Gray both pitching very well, Rangers, 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.120 Eovaldi pitching well. Now, well, look it is the A's 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.280 some of these matchups they've had. But still Welsh, I 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.240 think we got to look here and the Rangers actually 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.040 have a good problem on their hands, and eventually when 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.960 they get Schures are back. They have a plethora of pitching, 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:32.600 which a lot of teams cannot say. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.559 Right now, man, you and I are just we're lockstep 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:36.880 with using the word plethora. 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.679 It's one of my favorite plethora of pinatas. 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:46.359 Exactly, Yeah, what exactly is a plethora. 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:47.319 All the other A couple of weeks ago, I was 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:47.680 watching that. 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.920 It's one of my favorite, literally all time favorite movies. 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:52.800 Is uh Is Three Amigos. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.400 You have a Chevy Chase quality about you. You're like 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.120 a lovable jerk. Yeah yeah, I like that a good way. 0:11:59.200 --> 0:11:59.839 Yeah, I love it. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.640 He is, But I I Christmas Vacation one of my 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:03.320 all time favorite. 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:04.600 That's one of my all time fas. I mean I've 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:08.160 gotten the Clark Perswall autograph. Jersey from Chevy, but Steve 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.240 Martin's actually my guy though, so that's funny. So I 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.760 maybe exemplify more Chevy Chase, but I love Steve Martin, like. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:15.760 I guess that makes me more Martin short than that's. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:20.640 Definitely Martin short from Juilliard. I will say with the 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.920 A's like they're one of the biggest strikeout teams, like 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.120 almost twenty eight percent overall K percentage, so I think 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.160 it's like a tiny bit inflated. I've also been kind 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.320 of critical of John Gray. Nice to see him have 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.000 these good outings, but I still think he's a guy 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.560 that can hit the that might end up hitting you know, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.920 the bullpen one. Some of these guys get healthy, maybe 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:41.880 they make more moves. But Cody Bradford, Cody Bradford totally 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.120 the interesting guy here as far as the command level, 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.600 with pretty decent stuff. I think that's the type of 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.320 picture you want with that consistency, more than you would 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.079 want a John Gray. But yeah, man, Cody Bradford put 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.520 him on that list of those, you know, cheap free 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.160 starting pitchers that are gonna help win while while you're 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:02.559 losing your Spencer Striders and Garrett Coles, you're gaining your crochetes, 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.960 You're gaining your Jared Jones and your Cody Bradford's. 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.880 Houston's got a problem, let me tell you. And I 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.480 don't want to be I'm not trying to be cute there, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.920 but like it's Hunter Browns the ra between franber Valdez 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.439 injury Orlander working his way back. Like this is like 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.240 a very tenuous I don't want to say the windows 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.400 closing for Houston, but this is not the best way 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.560 to start a season if you're the Houston Astros for sure. 0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.200 All Right, one more thing to show. Altani's interpreter was 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.559 charged with bank fraud by the federal authorities. So apparently, 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.160 I mean he would have done a better job with 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.200 all these bets had he downloaded betting pros and use 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.360 the app. I think that's the big takeaway here. He 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.120 did not have the betting pros app. If he had downloaded, 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.320 that probably would have been in a better scenario. So 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.600 don't be like, is it is it I pay? 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:48.440 Is that how he's saying, Oh, I'm not gonna guess, yeah, 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.400 I'm not gonna guess. Yeah. I will say though, had 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.720 he let me just take a look here twenty five 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.280 units over the last month. I'm looking on the Betting 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.199 Pros app. You can check me. By the way, up 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.280 twenty five point four units over the last month on 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.920 betting pros think I am bettingpros dot com slash Welsh 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:07.760 for the short link if you want to follow. So yeah, 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.600 that would have been a benefit. But h to the 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.000 betting pros. Use the tools. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.800 Use the tools all right. Back to questions here, Anthony 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:19.480 XC seven, Joey P. I know you got me. I 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.680 offer Mi CONFORDO for Kowser. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:23.320 Who will be that easy? 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:25.360 Go ahead, we'll say, oh. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.840 Colton Kowser. I went on a whole thing last night 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.600 three days ago. I pumped Colton Kowser, and then I 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:35.240 bumped it last night after another homer and then you know, 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.240 I don't get into the whole like, hey, I'm tweeting 0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:40.360 out all the things and gajillion questions, but boy, you 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:43.800 guys flooded me with this guy for cals. Almost every 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.560 single one I answered, except you guys are pressing me 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.480 about Byron Buckson, and you know how I feel about that. 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.000 But almost every single player you put in front of me, 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.560 Colton Kowser, you should try to just get Colton Kowser 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.000 on your roster. Find a way maybe in a ten 0:14:56.000 --> 0:15:00.560 team league and you can't, okay, But like in most instances, 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.920 try to get Colton caw No, I'm just saying, maybe 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.400 you're like, okay, if you have like the Bosmans of. 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:09.000 The world, or maybe a little what I couldn't. 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:10.600 Try to get him on. Try to get him on. 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.800 He's on a hot streak. I think he's gonna continue going. 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.280 He's hitting right. He's really great and he's a really 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.840 good player. He's a great prospect who's finding his own finally, 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.720 So get Colton Cowser. Yes, over Conforto. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.800 All right, let's get to some fun things. The Blue 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.880 Jays are gonna call up Yario Rodriguez this weekend. So 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.640 five year, thirty two million dollar contract, this winner he 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:34.600 signed he was at Triple A Buffalo six and a 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.160 third scoreless innings. Is this a guy twenty seven year old, 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:41.600 twenty seven year old in air quotes Cuban pitcher. Is 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.240 this somebody that people should be adding this weekend because 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:45.840 I've got him on my list in a deeper league. 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.440 No, I'm not interested in Yario Rodriguez. I'm also not 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.080 interested in Simon Woods Richardson, who I believe is coming 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:54.040 up for Saturday. So they're bringing up a couple of 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:58.520 young arms, bringing up everybody but Ricky Tiedeman, and because 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.160 Ricky Tieman has had a couple not good starts early 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.800 on in the season. So I think these are this 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.920 is interesting. Now, these are listen, who are they going 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:06.320 up against? 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.320 Who the blue Jays have they have the Rockies this weekend. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:10.720 Is that in Colorado? 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:12.760 No, it's in Toronto. 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:18.080 Okay, maybe maybe if you're you know what, you're counting stats, you're. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:19.960 Well, I mean if you could have spend five and 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.520 thirty two on a guy, I mean you want to 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:22.680 get something out of him, don't you. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:24.480 Oh I'm not talking about like what they want to do. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:27.360 I'm saying for your ratios. I'm dangerous for your ratios. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.360 This is actually probably a matchup you could stream him. 0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.840 If you're trying to pick up some strikeouts and a win. 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:33.760 You want to play that side, but just know that 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:36.040 your ratios could be damned a little bit. But yeah, 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.560 these are Yario Rodriguez, I mean, Woods Richardson. These are 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.320 not the Blue Jays long term starting pitchers I'm looking for. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:42.800 It's tetem. 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.320 You had me second guessing myself. It is in Toronto, 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:46.760 the Games in Toronto this week. 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.640 Yeah, I mean that's actually a decent streaming matchup. But 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.080 I'm you know, I'm not holding out major hope, just 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:53.640 a rocky stink, so that might work. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.400 All right. Let's get to another fun thing, Oscar Colos 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.920 getting sent down after oh for one pinch hit twenty five? Honor? 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.120 What are we doing here? What are we doing? We 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:03.840 bring this guy up for an that bat and we 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:06.720 send him back down. I just don't don't. I don't understand. 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:08.879 This was fun though. This was the most fun of 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:10.920 all the fun things from the news. 0:17:10.680 --> 0:17:11.959 In the last way for a hour, the funest. 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:16.560 Jordan Montgomery fired Scott Boris. I don't know if you 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.239 saw this, but I thought that was super fun. So 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:24.000 the once upon a time unbeatable Scott Boris, he took 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:25.919 some bad beats this winter and a lot of his 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.360 clients are not happy. Welsh, what did you think of this? 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.880 Because I'm sure you saw this news too. I laughed 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:31.879 out loud when I saw this. 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:33.880 Yeah, I did it with the Wassermans too. That's kind 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.159 of like the that's been the next trajectory of a 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.560 lot of people going over on that side. But yeah, 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:39.880 I don't know why everybody go. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.880 To the Wassamans this weekend. You have to go over 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:43.680 to the Wasserman. 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:48.320 Oh Joey tows the line. I'm surprised not fired across 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.560 the board. But the advantage is that Scott Boris has 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.199 got baseball under his thumb. I mean, this is the 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.280 guy of guy. If you want someone that's gonna fight 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.320
