Speaker 1: Apia back from the weekend. That, of course is the Welsh.
Speaker 1: The hair only gets better. It seems like as the
Speaker 1: days go by for the Welsh and Welsh, we're closing
Speaker 1: in on fourteen thousand subs, which means the mustachers are
Speaker 1: gonna have to start to get ready. I see you're
Speaker 1: growing the beard out a little bit too well, you know,
Speaker 1: go ahead, No.
Speaker 2: No, I was just gonna say. The wife made the
Speaker 2: comment today as I did the hair and she looked over.
Speaker 2: She's like, you gotta shave, and I wanted to tell
Speaker 2: her be like kind of trying to hold out because
Speaker 2: if we get to fourteen k I'm trying to build
Speaker 2: this out so we can get a glorious, wonderful mustache.
Speaker 2: But this may be gone tomorrow. I don't know how
Speaker 2: close we are. I don't know we're at.
Speaker 1: Thirteen point eight. So if you haven't subscribed already, Fancy
Speaker 1: pros MLB, please subscribe because that's that makes us happy
Speaker 1: when you do. But we are very very close right now.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. We don't have to do it
Speaker 1: the next day, you know, like not everybody can grow
Speaker 1: a mustache the next day.
Speaker 2: Like that, we could start the growing process right.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll set a date so everybody can be there
Speaker 1: for the show, and we'll tell.
Speaker 2: Everybody what the mustache ride.
Speaker 1: Well, right exactly, that's exactly what we'll call it. Of course,
Speaker 1: that won't offend anybody, and I think that's what we'll do.
Speaker 1: We'll set a date, we'll make it a big thing,
Speaker 1: and that way everybody has time to grow set appropriate
Speaker 1: mustaches that they like that they want to display here
Speaker 1: on the program. And look at peanuts and the crackerjacks.
Speaker 1: You can, you know, jump in there as well.
Speaker 2: We're all that's a great idea to make a mustache
Speaker 2: room in the discord that you guys can get if
Speaker 2: you sign up on that's why you sign up for
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pros, so you guys can get in on the
Speaker 2: mustache room and we can share pictures of our mustaches.
Speaker 1: Yeah. BT says that Joe shaved thirty minutes ago and
Speaker 1: that may or may not be true. Just saying, all right,
Speaker 1: let's get to the action from MLB for the weekend,
Speaker 1: and let's start with Nolan Jones. My dude, he was
Speaker 1: in our waiver Wire video here a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: in the program before he got called up, even said
Speaker 1: go out and pick this guy up. He had a
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy two walk off homer yesterday. Not
Speaker 1: too shabby. Rockies get a victory there. Nolan Jones, he's
Speaker 1: got some power. Another home run over the weekend as well.
Speaker 1: I had added him in my league before I did
Speaker 1: the Waiver Wire video, which is why he said, let's
Speaker 1: add this guy now, let's be proactive. Great job by him,
Speaker 1: Elie Dela Cruz two for four, excuse me, two for
Speaker 1: three with an RBI. He had two walks and a
Speaker 1: steel on Sunday, so he continues to look good. These
Speaker 1: are two young players here. Let's talk about Dela Cruz
Speaker 1: and let's talk about Nolan Jones.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start with actually Nolan Jones. Like, Nolan Jones
Speaker 2: is fun back when he was with the Guardians, really
Speaker 2: good OBP player. I still say he's just a better
Speaker 2: OBP player. The problem is is like that three sixty
Speaker 2: average is not sustainable for him. He's always hit the
Speaker 2: ball really hard there. I mean, that was the excitement
Speaker 2: when he went to Colorado. It was like, holy crap,
Speaker 2: it's like thirty plus home run potential if he starts
Speaker 2: to work out. Things are working out right now. Don't
Speaker 2: love thirty one percent strikeout rate. I don't think he's
Speaker 2: gonna hit for high average. I think this is like
Speaker 2: a two to fifty guy butt he's going right now. So,
Speaker 2: as always, we can pick apart the things. Do I
Speaker 2: believe in Nolan Jones all year? I personally kind of don't,
Speaker 2: but write it out, write it out right now because
Speaker 2: he's playing well.
Speaker 1: But Ellie Dela Corrado too. I mean, yeah, that's why
Speaker 1: the McMahon in the last two weeks has been he's
Speaker 1: been on fire. McMahon the last two weeks. If you
Speaker 1: look at that's unbelievable. So the Rockies pulling themselves out
Speaker 1: of the tailspin of what the season's been. They were
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit better at some point.
Speaker 1: They've been bad. But Nolan Jones, like you said, you know,
Speaker 1: you look at the PCL numbers and they're always gonna
Speaker 1: be inflated because it's PCL. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: he's playing in Colorado half his game, so you can
Speaker 1: live with the inflation of PCL numbers. And a guy
Speaker 1: who plays for the Rockies, I always say that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am corner outfielder, like you know, PROFI is
Speaker 2: making it work right now, so Nolan Jones can make
Speaker 2: it work. There's some offensive thing there. So Ellie de
Speaker 2: la Cruz, Ellie is everything that we hyped him up
Speaker 2: to be. I little nervous last week with all the like, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, he's the top this short stop and you
Speaker 2: guys are going to like freak out and get all up,
Speaker 2: you know, up into arms and everything. But so far,
Speaker 2: I think it's lived up to all expectations and more.
Speaker 2: But we'll tell you I may or may not bring
Speaker 2: up Ellie Daia Cruz in this week's trade video that's
Speaker 2: going to be dropping tomorrow only because of this. I
Speaker 2: only want to throw this out almost forty strikeout rate,
Speaker 2: and is his value any higher right now? And here's
Speaker 2: the other thing, and Redraft just to be sure, Redraft Dynasty.
Speaker 2: We're not having this conversation with Ellie, but only I just.
Speaker 1: Want to say that because you know, the lunatics out there,
Speaker 1: they're going. I understand he told me to pick up
Speaker 1: this guy, and.
Speaker 2: I still believe that he can be upward. That is
Speaker 2: exactly how I still believe that he could be upwards
Speaker 2: of a top five short stop for this year. But
Speaker 2: Joe and I and other people I've been tagged in,
Speaker 2: I have seen some wild ass trades, some wild trade off.
Speaker 2: Oh I've seen what have.
Speaker 1: You seen out in the streets and the Twitter and
Speaker 1: the fancy baseball.
Speaker 2: I have seen people they're like, should I trade Ellie
Speaker 2: for this? And and this is like Many Machado is
Speaker 2: involved in the trade and it's not giving up much.
Speaker 1: More that one. I was tagging that one.
Speaker 2: Many Machado is up in there, Austin Riley is up
Speaker 2: in their high end Spencer Strider. I mean, you're seeing
Speaker 2: huge pieces that people are trying to get Ellie that
Speaker 2: I think it's worth considering looking because like, Ellie's got
Speaker 2: a six hundred babbit, Ellie has a almost.
Speaker 1: Forteen strikeout rate. That's not sustainable. Just throwing it out here.
Speaker 2: But even I don't I don't want to be all
Speaker 2: negative because I was all positive. I just think it's
Speaker 2: worth looking because there is a whole lot of value
Speaker 2: out there that maybe someone wants to get bonkers with it,
Speaker 2: and I'm looking for someone that wants to get dirty.
Speaker 2: So that's all that I'm saying with Ellie is sometimes great.
Speaker 1: What is new.
Speaker 2: He'll be capitalized on fantasy to bring out, you know,
Speaker 2: a huge, huge return. So that's my big consideration.
Speaker 1: That's Welsh always looking to get dirty. Razor says, by
Speaker 1: the way, he's so rare card for Ellie de la
Speaker 1: Cruz is up to like six hundred.
Speaker 2: Dollars value, right, So which one I mean because there's
Speaker 2: a limited one one out there.
Speaker 1: I think there's a the limited so rare cards. I
Speaker 1: don't know which one that was specifically. But to Welsh's point,
Speaker 1: I agree, this is peak and every young player, no
Speaker 1: matter how good, is going to have peaks and valleys.
Speaker 1: And the Reds have been surprisingly good over their last
Speaker 1: forty games, too, kind of sneaky good after a very
Speaker 1: slow start to the season. That Central Division is far
Speaker 1: from anybody really pulling away as like the gang that
Speaker 1: can't shoot straight, like they all just kind of beating
Speaker 1: themselves constantly. So the Reds my have something fun going
Speaker 1: on and cooking. But to Welsh's point, when you have
Speaker 1: big time stars coming your other way, for in a
Speaker 1: redraft league, for Lied de la Cruise, it's something you
Speaker 1: really consider and I take the tires on what the
Speaker 1: value is because it might surprise you.
Speaker 2: And the big thing is more like when you get
Speaker 2: one of those offers where you look around and you're like,
Speaker 2: I have to do this right, Like that's the type
Speaker 2: of offer, not a should I do this type of
Speaker 2: trade because you guys will and it's all cool. I
Speaker 2: love seeing all your offers and stuff like that. You
Speaker 2: guys send it out, and you send out and you're like, hey,
Speaker 2: what do you think about this? I bet you I
Speaker 2: don't like it. But if you're like, I have to
Speaker 2: do this right, that's probably the type of trade that
Speaker 2: you want to be looking at for. I just think
Speaker 2: you might be able to bolster your team rest of
Speaker 2: season in multiple spots. But this isn't about getting like
Speaker 2: Diroistrata and this is about getting a lead of This is.
Speaker 1: About getting top tier, first second round talent guys. And
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then you make that trade. But
Speaker 1: you know the other point about Della Kruze will move
Speaker 1: on to other things too. There's been a lot of
Speaker 1: time on this, but it does you know, it does
Speaker 1: beg to recall to everybody out there that there's going
Speaker 1: to be adjustment periods, that they're going to find holes.
Speaker 1: He's a kid, you know, they're going to find some
Speaker 1: of the deficiencies in this game.
Speaker 2: And they're going thirty percent striker exact five games striking
Speaker 2: out theseils.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate it because I know he's exciting.
Speaker 2: I've been excited. I'm still excited. It's just the only
Speaker 2: reason that's pushed it is the amount of insane trades
Speaker 2: that are going the way, and this is one of
Speaker 2: the few. In the last thing, there's one of the
Speaker 2: few things and guys that you've seen that their value
Speaker 2: has peaked closely off of the call up. The call
Speaker 2: up is usually the big time. Everyone gets excited. That's
Speaker 2: the best trade point. But it's gone to two extra
Speaker 2: levels with that Homer and the stolen bases, and I'm
Speaker 2: the fastest man on the planet. Just give her a
Speaker 2: peak and then don't be afraid to, you know, reject
Speaker 2: when they send stupid offers. Move on and keep your
Speaker 2: elly right and you know, home you're happy, yes, Ja,
Speaker 2: so layer went.
Speaker 1: I'm happy. Two more home for him. I keep saying
Speaker 1: to trade him, though I don't care, like this is
Speaker 1: another guy too. I just say, trade Hore Solaier. The
Speaker 1: bottoms dropping out. At some point he might keep this
Speaker 1: up all the way of the All Star Break, but
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, at some point, it's got to give James.
Speaker 2: Bieber number one hitter. By the way against lefties, I've
Speaker 2: been I was looking last night in the betting side
Speaker 2: of this. You can, you know, go look at splits verses,
Speaker 2: and I was looking at I'm gonna just pull it
Speaker 2: up just real quick and we can move on. I thought,
Speaker 2: from a homer perspective, he has the Yeah, he's tied
Speaker 2: with him and Freddy Freeman of the most homers against
Speaker 2: lefties on the year. He's hitting three thirty three with
Speaker 2: nine homers against lefties. It is him, Freddy Freeman, And
Speaker 2: you know what I know, it's weird. Kyle Schwarber, two lefties.
Speaker 2: Two of the three are lefties against lefty crime with
Speaker 2: powers Schwarber.
Speaker 1: By the way, Schwarbur's so hot he blew up that
Speaker 1: road on I ninety five. We're outside of Philadelphia, That's
Speaker 1: how hot the Schwarbs is right now. Shane Bieber also hot.
Speaker 1: He is now five and three after seven shutout innings
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts in that contest. He is now a three
Speaker 1: two nine ERA. All right, so let's pick a spot
Speaker 1: here for Shamee the other one. Shane, what do you
Speaker 1: mean one?
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to do a trade. Would
Speaker 2: you want this guy or Shane Bieber the other guy? No?
Speaker 1: No, no, I know that for trading him prediction instead?
Speaker 1: Where Shane Bieber July thirty first.
Speaker 2: Oh, are you giving the options or we're just speaking?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm giving you all the options.
Speaker 2: You know, who could use him? A team like the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: The Diamondbacks rotation has got some questions in bullpen. I
Speaker 2: think the Reds, if they wanted to compete, should be aggressive.
Speaker 2: The Mariners would make a ton of sense. Now, well,
Speaker 2: those are three teams that pop, But I think anybody
Speaker 2: the reason, by the way the Reds is the Guardians
Speaker 2: in Red share a complex and sometimes there's inner trade working.
Speaker 2: That's easy on that front, but I don't know. I
Speaker 2: think the Mariners and Diamondbacks are two.
Speaker 1: It's no different than your fantasy league in that regard
Speaker 1: everybody like you have relationships with people in your league.
Speaker 1: That in your league, and you're going to make trades
Speaker 1: with those people because you communicate better with them most
Speaker 1: of the time. So that's one of the things people
Speaker 1: think that that's an overrated that it is not. It
Speaker 1: happens after you know, all those games, they go out,
Speaker 1: they have dinner together, they hit the bar and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, they go play golf together. It's easier to
Speaker 1: make deals with those people. Jaj Jackson, by the way,
Speaker 1: has a great question here. We got to get this
Speaker 1: one in. I got an offer of Jordan for Dela
Speaker 1: Cruz with Jorden being out for four to six weeks.
Speaker 1: This is a good idea or bad idea. I say
Speaker 1: a bad idea. For four to six weeks is a
Speaker 1: long time at this juncture in the season. If it
Speaker 1: was two to three maybe, but four to six again,
Speaker 1: if it's on that longer time frame and he has
Speaker 1: a reinjury or something like, that's always possible. I don't know, Welsh,
Speaker 1: this is a tough sell for me. I'd love to
Speaker 1: get Alvarez, but I don't know. What do you think?
Speaker 2: I say, no, nah, I'm nah, Like I love the idea.
Speaker 2: This is exactly what I'm talking about again, trying to
Speaker 2: reiterate one last time, like it's not about showing good.
Speaker 1: But this is such a negative attachment because I just
Speaker 1: don't want to for six weeks and nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't want like what if something happens,
Speaker 2: like I don't want something to rehappen. I mean, this
Speaker 2: is you could do much better than that, dude. Elly
Speaker 2: went for nine to ninety five of one thousand fab
Speaker 2: budget this week on average around four hundred. When people
Speaker 2: don't have money left, they spent every dollar they could.
Speaker 2: In NBC, it's a hot name. Jordan is fun, but
Speaker 2: six weeks of injured time that don't That don't do
Speaker 2: it for me. And he was injured prior to the season.
Speaker 2: You remember his I got value on him because he
Speaker 2: was injured. He's injured again, so you know what more
Speaker 2: and more, No, sir, I don't know how.
Speaker 1: He was still available in any league this past weekend.
Speaker 1: I don't even well.
Speaker 2: If he wasn't drafted in n FBC, he had to
Speaker 2: be put back in the pool like my NFBC league.
Speaker 2: He was drafted and then cut and I got him
Speaker 2: two weeks ago for forty bucks. But now he was
Speaker 2: thrown into the pool and people were just unloading every
Speaker 2: single dollar that they had, just crazy money on Ellie.
Speaker 1: Well, it means what you should do. Let's take a
Speaker 1: quick break in the action to tell you about Fanimal.
Speaker 1: I love live events, but I hate buying tickets the
Speaker 1: hidden fees they suck. It's like paying for a whole
Speaker 1: other person who's not even there to be there with
Speaker 1: you at the event, and customer service is terrible, and
Speaker 1: coordinating with friends is a nightmare. But then I discovered
Speaker 1: fanimal and Fannamal has tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball,
Speaker 1: you name it, and Major League Baseball. And plus there's
Speaker 1: no fees. The price you see is actually the price
Speaker 1: you pay. What a concept. You heard it here first.
Speaker 1: Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get
Speaker 1: MLB tickets. And we've all experienced how painful it is
Speaker 1: to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always
Speaker 1: end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing
Speaker 1: down the friends to get reimbursed, and if they flake,
Speaker 1: I'm stuck with the whole bill. But Fnimal's patentent group
Speaker 1: purchase makes it easy to split payments with your friends,
Speaker 1: so nobody's left holding the bag and you don't have
Speaker 1: to commit until your friends do. So just pick the seats,
Speaker 1: pick how many tickets you want to pay for yourself,
Speaker 1: and then send the link to your friends. And when
Speaker 1: you join your group, everyone gets stared separately and your
Speaker 1: tickets are secured, so you can stack cash by inviting
Speaker 1: friends ten bucks every time someone joins your group. Catching baby.
Speaker 1: So fanomal it has an amazing customer service to don't take
Speaker 1: my word for it. Check out their hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 1: of five star reviews. The next time you need tickets,
Speaker 1: go to fanimal dot com or download the fnimal app
Speaker 1: and use the promo code fanimal MLB. That's fanimal MLB
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars off your first purchase. Check out fanimal
Speaker 1: and experience more and now back to the action. Corbyn
Speaker 1: Carrol's also crazy three for five with a double, a
Speaker 1: triple scored twice. I mean he also works at the
Speaker 1: flower shop. He's unbelievable. Corey seeger over the weekend to
Speaker 1: have a five for five game with a homer, a
Speaker 1: double four uri. So he is back with the vengeance
Speaker 1: and the Texas Rangers is still at the top of
Speaker 1: that NL West Baby, and I think, dare I say
Speaker 1: the Astros are in trouble right now. They don't have
Speaker 1: one player on their roster with an OPS over eight
Speaker 1: hundred not named your Don Alvarez, you were actually a Tucker,
Speaker 1: Not Josel Tuvey, not made Alex Bregman, none of those guys.
Speaker 1: This is a problem for them. And with the two
Speaker 1: guys out of the back of the rotation right now,
Speaker 1: I think the Astros are in a bind for the
Speaker 1: next six weeks. This is gonna be a real interesting.
Speaker 2: Test, another great place for Bieber if they wanted to
Speaker 2: make a move and they wanted to push that, I
Speaker 2: think that'd be great. You were on this a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago that this was a really sneaky team
Speaker 2: to in the betting world if you guys like to
Speaker 2: do any like that, like to kind of attack the Astros,
Speaker 2: And you were completely right, and even with jord On
Speaker 2: at the time, and now it looks so so much worse. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're in trouble. They don't have a ton of offensive
Speaker 2: help and the miners, justin Durden, I've kind of talked
Speaker 2: about a couple of times that's about it, so I
Speaker 2: also don't know really how they make the moves. They've
Speaker 2: got some lower end guys. I don't know how they
Speaker 2: would make that move for a guy like Bieber. But
Speaker 2: that's also probably not everything they need. We're talking about
Speaker 2: their offense. It's not just their pitching and Lanceome Colors
Speaker 2: never going. They are in some trouble.
Speaker 1: They are, and Texas is really good. More to come
Speaker 1: on that a little bit later. We're gonna have some
Speaker 1: more Texas conversations.
Speaker 2: All these and Carol con it just makes me so happy.
Speaker 2: I love Carroll's tweet. I love when you guys tweet
Speaker 2: at me about cork. Ah. It makes my heart just flutter.
Speaker 1: And it's like the bridge it just swells gross two
Speaker 1: sizes every single time like this.
Speaker 2: It's like this on Sunday, I see some mean comment
Speaker 2: and then everyone's like Corbeck, Carrol, Wells, Corbouck, Carrol. Then
Speaker 2: it just raises and I'm just I'm like a who
Speaker 2: I'm no longer well.
Speaker 1: I mean, in all fairness, we were holding hands on
Speaker 1: the Corbyn Carrol thing. We were all very excited about
Speaker 1: Carol here. Uh and you know what, it feels good
Speaker 1: because the thing that I'm most pleased if we're going
Speaker 1: to pat ourselves in the back, and we will for
Speaker 1: a second here and then we'll move on. Is the power,
Speaker 1: because all those morons kept saying you would hit for power.
Speaker 1: It's like when people told me Francisco Lindor wouldn't hit
Speaker 1: for power, and or Hell's Ael Twovey wouldn't have for powers,
Speaker 1: Like what are you watching? Of course they can hit
Speaker 1: for power just because they're smaller guys. That's such a
Speaker 1: stupid The only all.
Speaker 2: I'm sad about. I talked about it for almost a
Speaker 2: year and I never did it was I wanted to
Speaker 2: do a comp back when Carrol was in the miners.
Speaker 2: I wanted to look at Mookie Betts versus Corbyn Crow
Speaker 2: because that was the comp I was throwing out there
Speaker 2: to when you want to look at like body size
Speaker 2: and contact, and I felt like that was always the
Speaker 2: right level. And then it looks like that is exactly
Speaker 2: the point, That is exactly right Welsh. His hair grows
Speaker 2: three sizes when he hears about Corbyck Carroll.
Speaker 1: Right, all right, let's do the rookie lookie, Gunny Henderson,
Speaker 1: our little Gunny, all grown up, Gunnar Henderson three for five,
Speaker 1: three run homer starting to pull himself out of it.
Speaker 1: Guess what, our boy, Edward Julian is back up again. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I just feel bad for the guy because
Speaker 1: you know, this is the kind of player you just
Speaker 1: need to leave him alone and let him play for
Speaker 1: a season. I think you'll figure it out. But it's like.
Speaker 2: He's like the what was it the Edward Olivaris from
Speaker 2: last year where he just he would come up and
Speaker 2: come down. He's been sent down more than any other player,
Speaker 2: by the way, Ilo is.
Speaker 1: Out again as we all said he would be. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just crazy.
Speaker 2: I'm very much in on Gunner's rebound. This was I
Speaker 2: definitely have you know, hand up. I would say I
Speaker 2: absolutely at points said like you could cut Gunner, but
Speaker 2: if you listen, also said like I don't want to,
Speaker 2: Like you know, the balance is gonna happen, but it
Speaker 2: is tough to battle through two months. Like godspeed to
Speaker 2: anybody that was able to roster and manage two months
Speaker 2: of that garbage that he had. But like, this turnaround
Speaker 2: is real so much so he may or may not
Speaker 2: be in my conversation in the trade video because he's
Speaker 2: had four homers. In June. So far he is pulling
Speaker 2: the ball stronger, making better contact, and that strikeout rate
Speaker 2: which was over thirty percent twenty percent over the last
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, so I mean he has really bounced back.
Speaker 2: Gunner Henderson is a definite buy right now. I am in.
Speaker 1: Honestly this too. I see a lot of people talking
Speaker 1: about Rookie of the Year for Corbyn Carroll and Elie
Speaker 1: de la Cruz now starting to rock it up also
Speaker 1: MVP yes and the Corban Carroll MVP talk. I mean
Speaker 1: we can we can push pause on that. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've got a long way to go before that becomes
Speaker 1: interesting to me. Yeah, I'll think it's investable quite yet.
Speaker 1: But if Elie de la Cruz has a really good
Speaker 1: month and that number on Carol comes back, bet the
Speaker 1: Carroll number again, don't bet the l de la Cruz number.
Speaker 1: That's how you go and do this.
Speaker 2: Didn't We talk about this last week? Like two days
Speaker 2: into Ellie being up, Ellie had moved to like three
Speaker 2: and a half to one, which was so silly. This
Speaker 2: weekend happened, and Carol is aggressive under money. He's aggressive
Speaker 2: like minus money.
Speaker 1: Right now right here. Freddy Dinger I've already invested in this, Freddy. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's a special going on. I know FD has it
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year for Carol and Zach Gallon cy
Speaker 1: Young plus three eighty. I did that about two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: It was a higher number. I think that.
Speaker 2: Allen's going through a thing. Bagman texts me this yesterday.
Speaker 2: He's like, something's going on with Gallen is going through
Speaker 2: a little bit of a thing right now. I believe
Speaker 2: in him long term.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's so funny Anny for both of them.
Speaker 1: It's a good it's a good number. Jo Adell got
Speaker 1: sent back to Triple A, as you predicted. So Renfro
Speaker 1: came back, Joe Adell goes down. But look at least
Speaker 1: he made an impact of positive experience. I do think
Speaker 1: jo Adell might still contribute this year at some point,
Speaker 1: not for the Angels.
Speaker 2: The Triple to the the Bees.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Lady, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can get traded, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: I think I could see that. Also, we got to
Speaker 1: talk about this because over the weekend, Dodgers prospect Emtt
Speaker 1: Sheehan got promoted from Double A to Triple A. Right now,
Speaker 1: the twenty three year old has a one eight six
Speaker 1: e ra a Welsh eighty eight strikeouts and fifty three
Speaker 1: innings and twenty three walks. He is getting real close
Speaker 1: to promotion time. He's gonna be in the Waiver Wire
Speaker 1: video this week. Spoiler alert. I picked him up weeks ago,
Speaker 1: just dashed him for a buck on my bench, and
Speaker 1: that's a keeper situation where you can keep eight people
Speaker 1: too on salaries. So if he comes up and he performs,
Speaker 1: he's a buck pitcher. Next year he could be really good.
Speaker 2: He's been one of my favorites all year. If you
Speaker 2: guys have heard me, I don't know if I've talked
Speaker 2: about him here on you have highest K percentage in
Speaker 2: the minor leagues K minus walk percentage is there. He
Speaker 2: has been a freaking monster and how he has pounded
Speaker 2: the zone. And you look at that team with the
Speaker 2: struggles they've had with like Groove and Stone that I
Speaker 2: think they're just setting him to get up there. You
Speaker 2: know that AFL prep is one of those things that
Speaker 2: can push these guys up coming and Landon Nac too
Speaker 2: also got called up. Dodgers just have a plethora of
Speaker 2: great arms. But Emmett Shehan is the next big strikeout guy.
Speaker 2: So he comes up. I I agree with you. If
Speaker 2: he's up, I want him. So if you have the
Speaker 2: wherewithal to like make a preemptive ad, I'm all about Sheahan,
Speaker 2: but I do think they're gonna want like a couple
Speaker 2: starts out of him and.
Speaker 1: He sounds like an old timey sheriff from one of
Speaker 1: those Hello Chef, I'm sheriff. She hand, she hands the
Speaker 1: name you boys don't call no trouble in this town.
Speaker 2: Have you ever met an emmett u? No, I've never
Speaker 2: met an emmett It's a very and it's not spelled
Speaker 2: like emittt Smith either. There's the ease in it, so
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: There you go, There you go. Andresamenez was pulled from
Speaker 1: Sunday's game left leg tightness, so he can't catch a
Speaker 1: break this year. Alec Bohm was activated Brandon Belt didn't
Speaker 1: take you know, too long of the season for him
Speaker 1: to have something tightness in his left ham strink keeping
Speaker 1: out on that. Speaking of legs, Loy Amenez didn't see
Speaker 1: him all weekend. Terrible. The worst we'll see if he's
Speaker 1: back this week. Royal's put Vinnie Pasquentino on the ten
Speaker 1: day IL with a right shoulder instability. That doesn't sound
Speaker 1: good at all Welsh.
Speaker 2: That sounds really instability in general.
Speaker 1: And also this one's really depressing. I hate to beat
Speaker 1: a bummer here, but the White Sox put Liam Hendricks
Speaker 1: on the fifteen day IL with right elbow inflammation. So
Speaker 1: that's just this just sucks because he fought his way
Speaker 1: back from the cancer and then came back and now
Speaker 1: the enbl inflammation. So hopefully he's okay. It's just a
Speaker 1: it's something they could treat with medication, and that's not
Speaker 1: something worse, because that would just be horrible. Andrew McCutchen, though,
Speaker 1: on a good note, did get his two thousandth career hit.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to him. Andrew McCutchen hall of Famer? I say no,
Speaker 1: what say you?
Speaker 2: M probably, but I don't replay. I think I have
Speaker 2: a gauge anymore of like what is hall of Fame?
Speaker 2: Like just in all sports, like players they're like this,
Speaker 2: this guy's a Hall of Fame? Like really, was he
Speaker 2: a hall I don't know so now.
Speaker 1: I, by the way, knows a bunch of Emmitt's apparently,
Speaker 1: so it's a Midwestern thing. And speaking of Wonky's friends,
Speaker 1: I want everybody out there to know, go hit up
Speaker 1: the Wonky Penguin on the Twitter machine. She's got to
Speaker 1: go fund me up for her dear friend of hers.
Speaker 1: I contributed to it. I encourage all of you if
Speaker 1: you give five bucks, ten bucks, just something. A friend
Speaker 1: of her is going through a lot right now, a
Speaker 1: stage four cancer among some other things too. So if
Speaker 1: you can, you help out the Peanuts and Crackers act.
Speaker 1: You're all good people. We know y'are. So if you
Speaker 1: want to again, go follow her on Twitter. The gofund
Speaker 1: me is there if you want. I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: post it in the YouTube video here the comments below.
Speaker 1: I think it'll pin Mike Mayer is good for something
Speaker 1: he could do that.
Speaker 2: Did she tweeted that out or did you retweet that?
Speaker 1: I don't think I retweeted it, so you can find
Speaker 1: it on my timeline. All those all those good things
Speaker 1: do two nice things. Three up and three down. Blake Snell.
Speaker 1: The turnaround for Blake Snell the last couple of weeks unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Like he is the worst. I hate him, I hate
Speaker 1: him him. I know he does want to live like
Speaker 1: this well, twelve straightdown, so I know, no, I don't
Speaker 1: want to do all this. I don't know. Tario Estrada
Speaker 1: very good for him, he had a pair of homers
Speaker 1: and zach Neto hod a multi homer game on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Three down, you're ready for the three down? Alvid Bayez
Speaker 1: Oh for four three ks, he's down to two seventeen
Speaker 1: at the batting average apartment. Alex Bregman Oh for four
Speaker 1: to three ks, he's down to two forty six. Gossman, Gallon,
Speaker 1: and Gilbert the three G's all give up five or
Speaker 1: more earned runs yesterday too, so not the best day
Speaker 1: for them. So it's time to turn the page from

Speaker 2: with a hater's ball.
Speaker 1: I oh good. I like we should.
Speaker 2: Probably start the week off on a positive note, but
Speaker 2: I ain't doing that on a Monday because it's a Monday.
Speaker 2: So we are going straight up hater's ball today. What
Speaker 2: does that mean? It's three underpicks. We're going against it.
Speaker 2: So for your haters ball today, we are going with
Speaker 2: James Kaprillion strikeouts four and a half under. I think
Speaker 2: he's gone over five or hit five only a couple
Speaker 2: times this year and he's going up against the Rays.
Speaker 2: That's not going to be pretty. So we're going under
Speaker 2: strikeouts on Kaprillion pro far, assuming he plays. That's always
Speaker 2: a tricky thing. Is nice, And as love much as
Speaker 2: we love price picks, they give us all these good ops.
Speaker 2: Sometimes we don't have the roster set, so bear with it.
Speaker 2: We're going with Profar hit run RBI one and a
Speaker 2: half under and Brandon Marsh hit run RBI one and
Speaker 2: a half under, going up against a lefty and Tommy
Speaker 2: Henry so kaprillion under Profar under Marsh under Hater's ball
Speaker 2: hate hate hate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing my tailor Swift shirt today.
Speaker 2: By the way, let's see it.
Speaker 1: I noticed it the tailor. Let's go. Let's go all right,
Speaker 1: So for me, I'm gonna go the other end. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go for the exciting upside things, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a bunch of guys who can get your points.
Speaker 1: Here on the fantasy side, Corby Carrol nine points hit
Speaker 1: her fantasy score over Trey Turners seven and a half,
Speaker 1: seven and a half over. So let's stay in that
Speaker 1: same game, and Louise a Rise. We can't be stopped
Speaker 1: just despite Welsh seven point five because two to three
Speaker 1: hits today. I'm sure he's a wonderful guy. I bet
Speaker 1: he has an incredible manners. I bet he always leaves
Speaker 1: twenty five percent tip. Louis a Rise player, all right,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna keep this simple today from the wagering standpoint. Okay,
Speaker 1: we did a segment on Sunday on Sportscard about splits.
Speaker 1: Some incredible splits this year, the Zach Efflin splits. He's
Speaker 1: seven and zero at home right, forty three strikeouts in
Speaker 1: forty three innings, got a point eight whip at home.
Speaker 1: John Gray on the road has been great. And then
Speaker 1: there's Adeleas Garcia, whose splits were really fascinating because on
Speaker 1: the road this year he's hitting two thirty five with
Speaker 1: a six eighty ops. At home this year he's hitting
Speaker 1: three twelve with a six fifty one slucking percentage and
Speaker 1: at ten to twenty ops. And wouldn't you know it, Well,
Speaker 1: she's at home today. There's a lot of ways to
Speaker 1: make money with Atalyas Garcia. You could do the home
Speaker 1: run money line Parlane, where you put the Rangers winning
Speaker 1: and Adelea's hitting a home run. You get four to
Speaker 1: one on that. Four thirty are the odds you're getting
Speaker 1: on that. Or you can even throw in as well.
Speaker 1: You can't put all this together, you can do them separately.
Speaker 1: At least Garcia to hit a home run, hit the
Speaker 1: first run of the game today, for five bucks, you
Speaker 1: win fifty. I mean, come on, that's a fun little wager.
Speaker 2: One again, is what was it not a home run?
Speaker 1: It's at at least Garcia to hit the first home
Speaker 1: run of this game. So if he hits a home run,
Speaker 1: like I'm saying, he's going to hit a home run today,
Speaker 1: and I'm all in on it. So I'm all in
Speaker 1: on all the props. You know, the the over on
Speaker 1: the RBI, the total basis, blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But you could also bet him to hit the first
Speaker 1: home run of the game if he gets up with
Speaker 1: the first inning goes yard boom. At least Garcia gets
Speaker 1: you five to one. We gotta throw five bucks on
Speaker 1: that bad boy and say, you know you're you're happy,
Speaker 1: You're happy, lad, you know, actually ten to one? What
Speaker 1: am I saying? It's almost ten to one plus eight
Speaker 1: fifty you're getting on that one. It's a nice little
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, let's go. Hey, you throw ten
Speaker 1: spot on there. Next thing. You know, you just paid
Speaker 1: your cell phone bill for them.
Speaker 2: We better know what your home run call is already
Speaker 2: now off of that Oh.
Speaker 1: We know what it is. We all know what it is.
Speaker 1: And Ethan's off this week, so no home run board
Speaker 1: for a couple of days, and we've got Pater in
Speaker 1: the week. So Welsh, I'm sure probably maybe a good thing.
Speaker 1: But what also is always a great thing is so rare.
Speaker 1: You can go get your Li de la Cruz cards again.
Speaker 1: Fancypros dot Com slash collect go sign up for free today,
Speaker 1: and of course it's fancy Baseball. It's cards. You know
Speaker 1: this already. You listen to the show every day. If
Speaker 1: you haven't tried it, go give it a shot. Check
Speaker 1: it out. This is a fun time, especially if you
Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries and you're throwing your hands
Speaker 1: up in your leagues. Here's a fun way to like
Speaker 1: interact with fantasy baseball in a different way. And then
Speaker 1: of course Fantasypros dot Com slash Leading Off League. You
Speaker 1: can join that as well. For the DFS slate today,
Speaker 1: it's very tiny, tiny kind of investments. I don't love today.
Speaker 1: For betting. We'll get to Welsh's bets too. I always
Speaker 1: skip his bets. I always do that. I just want
Speaker 1: to talk about so rare. That's my problem. Logan web
Speaker 1: at ten point six zach efline a ten point eight
Speaker 1: same line up, just one with one pitcher, one with
Speaker 1: the other pitcher. See which works better? Atlanta, Boston Angels, Texas.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking for the offense today. Hunter Renfros
Speaker 1: two point eight, coming back, just had a kid, Well
Speaker 1: he did, and his wife did. I think he got
Speaker 1: some magic in the bat there. Casey Schmidt two point
Speaker 1: eight and Luisa Rise Welsh's favorite at two point nine. Welsh,
Speaker 1: what do you have on the betting side today?
Speaker 2: All right, on the betting side, A couple plays that
Speaker 2: I'm throwing out there. I got Tommy Henry strikeouts under.
Speaker 2: It's actually a dangerous play because the Phillies strikeout the
Speaker 2: most against lefties in all of baseball. But Tommy Henry
Speaker 2: is not the biggest big strikeout guy, and I just
Speaker 2: don't trust him. I think he's gonna get got today.
Speaker 2: I love Tampa Bay. I don't even know what this
Speaker 2: line has pushed up to that when I caught it
Speaker 2: last night, Tampa Bay minus one and a half was
Speaker 2: one forty, and then within a ten minute span it
Speaker 2: moved up to one fifty five. But I love Tampa
Speaker 2: Bay today, and I put together a little hits parlay.
Speaker 2: But what I did was a hate and a plus.
Speaker 2: I went with Brian de la Cruz hits under one
Speaker 2: and a half, That's what it was on DK. So
Speaker 2: I took the under one and a half hits and
Speaker 2: the over one hit for Corbyn Carroll. That got me
Speaker 2: even money. So under day La Cruz over Carol. Those
Speaker 2: are a couple of my plays today, Joe, before we
Speaker 2: talk about the home run board, which you are clearly
Speaker 2: going to take it OLiS Garcia or you're ridiculous if
Speaker 2: you don't.
Speaker 1: You have clearly taking out a last Garcia today. So
Speaker 1: there you goes, so well, shure are you taking?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Josh Low. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 2: Low on the the you know, the lefty split matchup
Speaker 2: kind of. I really kind of like all these rays
Speaker 2: here and maybe I'm picking on the a's too much,
Speaker 2: but I will go with Josh Low for my home
Speaker 2: run day.
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as picking on the a's too much.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any no, I don't think that
Speaker 1: exists at this point. They are historically bad. I feel
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the guys, like, I mean, we're
Speaker 1: getting paid to play major League baseball, but still like
Speaker 1: that's just such a negative daily environment to be in.
Speaker 2: It's the most like movie major league that is out there.
Speaker 2: I think, like it's just they're not going to make
Speaker 2: the playoffs or anything, so they don't have a Rick
Speaker 2: Vaughan though they don't have any they have a story, Ruiz,
Speaker 2: it's no.
Speaker 1: They've got They've got no Ricky Vaughan. They've got no
Speaker 1: uh no Tom Berenger, no Wesley Snipes, none of those guys.
Speaker 1: It's just they got really amazing. Yeah, just was. I
Speaker 1: bet Wesley Snipes could get up there, and I think
Speaker 1: he could play a whole game for he keeps himself
Speaker 1: in good shape. Now, you know, I want to see Charlie.
Speaker 2: I wonder if Wesley Snipes owes more in federal taxes
Speaker 2: than the payroll of the A's currently.
Speaker 1: I think he settled all those debts. I think that
Speaker 1: I think doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: I think he's in the new Expendables too. It's all
Speaker 2: you see Expendables four trailer release.
Speaker 1: I have never seen any of the Expendables movies. Are
Speaker 1: they worth seeing? Uh?
Speaker 2: I mean they look I mean, do you like stupid action?
Speaker 1: I do, but like it seems so stupid that I'm
Speaker 1: kind of like, it's.
Speaker 2: Pretty stupid, but like Jason Statham and I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's in the.
Speaker 1: Subject and one of our bald brothers and icons.
Speaker 2: Yes, what's great is cameos. I think that movie is
Speaker 2: good for cameos when actions star cameos pop in and
Speaker 2: there's a couple in the first two that you're just like, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's go. But at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 2: like all your childhood heroes are like sixty five, and
Speaker 2: we're trying to justify that. They're just you know, they're
Speaker 2: pulling twenty five year olds and they're just blowing up
Speaker 2: half the world and you're just like.
Speaker 1: All right, oh, you know. What I did see this
Speaker 1: weekend though, was Air, which was very good. If you
Speaker 1: haven't seen that, with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck playing
Speaker 1: Phil Knight the real thirty for thirty, I highly recommend
Speaker 1: watching too because Sonny Vaccaro was a character. I wish
Speaker 1: Matt Damon had tried to do a little bit more
Speaker 1: sunny Vacaro character in there, but it was very good.
Speaker 1: Bateman was good in it. Everybody was really good. Good story.
Speaker 2: By all this, I saw your Renfield movie. I watched Renfield.
Speaker 1: Oh, how was it was good? It's pretty good.
Speaker 2: It was, it was pretty I mean, Nick Cage is phenomenal,
Speaker 2: all that Nick Cage talk.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, it's.
Speaker 2: Not as good as you're gonna want it to be though,
Speaker 2: Nick Cage, my fear. Everything else is kind of mad man.
Speaker 1: It's my fear. Don't worry, don't fear. Anybody will be
Speaker 1: back tomorrow again to do it all. Thanks for hanging
Speaker 1: out with us. Hope you had a good weekends. Back
Speaker 1: to work all right, So get in there, go set
Speaker 1: your lineups, go set your rotations, go invest in at
Speaker 1: least Garcia, and tomorrow we'll come back and make some
Speaker 1: more money. That'll do it for us. But the story
Speaker 1: of the game goes on for the Welsh. I'm Joey P.
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time. Gives good bye.
