Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you.
Speaker 2: If I bet three sixty five, it is me, Joey,
Speaker 2: p Joke, Pisapia. That of course is the Welsh, and
Speaker 2: it's you, the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks hanging out
Speaker 2: here on a fun Friday. We're gonna try to get
Speaker 2: to your questions. Welsh on the home run board again.
Speaker 2: Somebody is getting hot, my trout stealing bases, Welsh calling
Speaker 2: home runs.
Speaker 1: I think we're in the upside down world. What's happening
Speaker 1: right now? I'm defeating Ai. AI is not able to
Speaker 1: well it was really just a wheel, but the wheel
Speaker 1: is not able to get me a home run. But
Speaker 1: I had to do it all natural with the Dolice
Speaker 1: Garcia and we'll try to go for two. I just
Speaker 1: walk back on that board. Put me back on that
Speaker 1: home run board.
Speaker 2: Please, not there yet, Not there. Michael obviously knows what
Speaker 2: today really is. Hello all, and welcome to the Tortured
Speaker 2: Baseball Hosts Apartment Day. Yes, that's right. The new Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift double album. Oh my god, my god, my god
Speaker 2: just dropped last night. I know, I know it means
Speaker 2: a lot in my house.
Speaker 1: I have two daughters. You know, my daughter loves twelve
Speaker 1: and fourteen. My daughter loves Taylor Swift. I didn't know
Speaker 1: an album was dropping, and then it did, and then
Speaker 1: I saw the excitement that no one knew that the
Speaker 1: second album was dropping. What I do love though, And
Speaker 1: you know this about me as Taylor is jumping in
Speaker 1: apparently I don't know any of this. I've just this
Speaker 1: is from the internet jumping into like the shade department
Speaker 1: because there's a song, isn't there a song that is
Speaker 1: like at Kim Kardashian and it's got like yeah, okay
Speaker 1: and yeah, I kind of like I like the pettiness.
Speaker 1: I'm down for it, especially for like the richest people
Speaker 1: on the planet to like be petty.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that with other rich people. You're right, You're right.
Speaker 2: It brings Welsh joy. Here's a question from Whips Joey
Speaker 2: p and Knoli Welsh. That's a good nickname for you.
Speaker 2: In my OBP league, I was offered Adolas Garcia for CJ. Abrams.
Speaker 2: What do you think can I move Oneo Cruz to
Speaker 2: shortstop and Nolan Gorman to middle infield? What do you
Speaker 2: think about this deal here Garcia for Abrams.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would do it. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure unless I was really really chasing power so on
Speaker 1: itl Yesterday I put out a pole and we discussed it.
Speaker 1: Bagman and I. It was who'd you rather have rest
Speaker 1: of season? Boba Shit or CJ. Abrams. And we had
Speaker 1: a couple people that were like, oh, you know, recency bias,
Speaker 1: what is going on? But guess what. CJ Abrams ran
Speaker 1: away with that, and obviously there's a recency to it.
Speaker 1: You and I have also been like, hey, CJ. Abrams
Speaker 1: might be a superstar. Well, you couldn't look at the
Speaker 1: profile right now. Obviously he steals bases, his batting average
Speaker 1: is up, he's barreling the ball more, he's hitting the
Speaker 1: ball harder, he's getting the ball in the air, and
Speaker 1: these are things that I wasn't so sure he was
Speaker 1: going to do. So I thought the power is in question.
Speaker 1: But he's hitting consistently. So all of this to say,
Speaker 1: even if the profile kind of like simmers down a
Speaker 1: little bit, I just really think he is immensely valuable
Speaker 1: for all five categories this year. Adolies is the Hey
Speaker 1: I want Big RBIs I want big homer chase, but
Speaker 1: there's no stolen basis, so I don't want to be
Speaker 1: like one foot in, one foot out and say, well,
Speaker 1: if you only need homers, I lean c j Abrams here.
Speaker 1: But if you are a heavy, heavy chase on stolen
Speaker 1: bases and you're comfortable because you have O'Neil Cruz, sure
Speaker 1: you could do it. But I'm team c j Abrams.
Speaker 2: Cruz has struggled recently too, has not been a good
Speaker 2: week or the last seven days for him. Statistically speaking,
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna last. But still I think
Speaker 2: that's the biggest problem too. If Cruz was playing really well,
Speaker 2: it's an no brainer for me. But Cruise hasn't played great,
Speaker 2: so I don't know. I mean, I would probably take
Speaker 2: this deal and put the faith at Cruise could be
Speaker 2: good enough that I don't have to worry about that.
Speaker 2: The other part of this is, too, is how I
Speaker 2: feel about Nolan Gorman. And you know, I've never been
Speaker 2: the biggest Nolan Gorman guy, so I think that's a
Speaker 2: bit of an issue. But let's get after the headlines.
Speaker 2: Let's start about Logan Webb. A seven shownout innings yesterday,
Speaker 2: a win over the Diamondbacks, who cannot buy a win
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. What in the world I saw that
Speaker 2: stat yesterday, I was like, I wish I knew that
Speaker 2: stat yesterday because I would have been all in on
Speaker 2: that one because they've been terrible there. But good outing
Speaker 2: for Logan Web, which he definitely needs, so we can
Speaker 2: all breathe the sigh of relief.
Speaker 1: I want to comment on it real quick sure before
Speaker 1: we move on to it, because my bet of the
Speaker 1: day yesterday was Diamondbacks money line first five, and it
Speaker 1: was looking pretty good. They got to Web super early
Speaker 1: on Ryan Nelson got smacked in the elbow in like
Speaker 1: the second or third inning and got knocked out of
Speaker 1: the game, and they had Logan Allen come in, who
Speaker 1: then proceeded to give up a run and then shut
Speaker 1: everything down. But then you just had Web shut them down.
Speaker 1: If you watch the game. One of the craziest things
Speaker 1: about this too horrible umpire by the way every call
Speaker 1: on the outside of the plate was given to Logan Web,
Speaker 1: whether it was a change up, a slider, a fastball,
Speaker 1: and then the Diamondbacks were just feeding it and eating
Speaker 1: into it. But that's what's like special about logan Web,
Speaker 1: and that is what I really love about him, by
Speaker 1: the way, is that as a smart pitcher who attacks
Speaker 1: those advantages, and he did that last night. I didn't
Speaker 1: cash it even though it was a one nothing game.
Speaker 1: A tie would have pushed the bet, So that kind
Speaker 1: of stunk. But the Diamondbacks stink right now and logan
Speaker 1: Web totally back on the come up. And I hope
Speaker 1: you're feeling better about logan Web because you were definitely
Speaker 1: not a like the Swift and then you got.
Speaker 2: The crappiet out of him in the spring, and then
Speaker 2: the first couple of starts he got the crappy out
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you getn't smacked it a love of the ballpark.
Speaker 2: Something's wrong. So a little concerning again when a picture
Speaker 2: has a good track record of being good. I don't
Speaker 2: want to overreact to spring, but it was hard to
Speaker 2: ignore when you're giving up the most hits in spring
Speaker 2: and your logan Web like that should not be either.
Speaker 2: Jack Lighter not the best debut. Seven runs and three
Speaker 2: and two thirds innings, struck out three. There were some
Speaker 2: good moments I think you take away in this start
Speaker 2: to a very emotional guy in the dugout, perhaps on
Speaker 2: the mound too. This was kind of the knock on
Speaker 2: his daddy. I remember when he was young, coming up
Speaker 2: in the late eighties with the Yankees, because I'm old
Speaker 2: enough to remember that al Lighter was a very emotional picture.
Speaker 2: He had a hard time sometimes corralling his emotions, letting
Speaker 2: his emotions settle in, and allowing him to be in
Speaker 2: command of the mound. And it wasn't until he got
Speaker 2: traded from the Yankees to the Blue Jays that it
Speaker 2: started to happen. And then eventually the Marlins really merged.
Speaker 2: I think the best version of alt Lighter into that
Speaker 2: later stage veteran Mets period. But you know, I know,
Speaker 2: different pitchers, lefty, righty, all that same stuff. But what
Speaker 2: do you make of the Jack Lighter start yesterday. I'm
Speaker 2: attributing a little bit of it to nerves, and I'm
Speaker 2: curious to see what the second one is more than
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's definitely I wasn't right in, you know, saying, hey,
Speaker 1: this is a good matchup. I think the logic made sense.
Speaker 1: He was awesome in the this is weird. He was
Speaker 1: awesome in the first inning. Three pitches strikeout, bam. Two
Speaker 1: strikes were golden. Oh, I was ready to quote tweets
Speaker 1: and then just smashed in the second inning.
Speaker 2: It was that the analysis again, it was that's.
Speaker 1: The advanced analysis of.
Speaker 2: Getting analysis like that anywhere else, folks.
Speaker 1: And this funny, uh concasious put like you serve up
Speaker 1: like meatball fastballs to Hobby Baia is like, that's where
Speaker 1: there's a problem. But then the third inning he kind
Speaker 1: of found himself again, and then the fourth inning things
Speaker 1: fell apart. There's some bad defense that played into it.
Speaker 1: But the end of the day, he didn't get any
Speaker 1: really whiffs off of the slider. It was some of
Speaker 1: the fastball which looked good, but he didn't command it.
Speaker 1: And his change up. I'd love to see the change
Speaker 1: up more because he had a pretty good whiff rate
Speaker 1: on that, but it's a command issue, like he wasn't
Speaker 1: able to be consistent. I thought there were good signs
Speaker 1: of life. I just thought this was a really good matchup.
Speaker 1: He got beat up. I don't I think he'll get
Speaker 1: another start and got I looked, oh it's Seattle. Seattle
Speaker 1: should be the next startup, which offense is kind of stuttered.
Speaker 1: There's really good k potential. It's a little dangerous if
Speaker 1: you're gonna end up starting it. But it was a
Speaker 1: pretty I don't know, I was pretty discouraged about like
Speaker 1: the start in general, but I do think there's possibilities
Speaker 1: that this can turn around. But we got to see
Speaker 1: better command because he fell apart there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed. I think we'll see another start and look,
Speaker 2: even if the next one isn't ideal, you'll still see
Speaker 2: Jack Lider again at some point this season. Like I think,
Speaker 2: I don't think you bring him up there and then
Speaker 2: you just kind of send them down for the rest
Speaker 2: of the year. There will be other injuries. Let's take
Speaker 2: a quick break in the action and tell you about

Speaker 2: sures are news to share. We're gonna get to that
Speaker 2: a little later in the show, but he's gonna be
Speaker 2: coming back earlier than later. Some other news was really
Speaker 2: interesting to me. Tristan McKenzie is pitching through a torn
Speaker 2: ligament in his elbow. I don't know if that explains
Speaker 2: the six two three era. Instead of going through Tommy John,
Speaker 2: he decided to do rehab. But clearly, I mean he
Speaker 2: has not been good in the first three starts. So
Speaker 2: what do you make of this news? Because this is
Speaker 2: something that I think we're all looking around at each
Speaker 2: other saying, all right, well, if you're not healthy enough
Speaker 2: to be pitching here, the results are bad. I mean,
Speaker 2: the guardians kind of have to make a decision, don't they.
Speaker 1: I feel like this was like leaked in a when
Speaker 1: he gets because I think he pitches today when he
Speaker 1: gets hit up today, immedia Tommy John like he's like,
Speaker 1: he's it's not gonna be good outing, and then they've
Speaker 1: leaked this story and then by Monday he's gonna be
Speaker 1: having some type of surgery or something like that. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not a doctor, so I don't know
Speaker 1: the different levels of like why are we comfortable with
Speaker 1: someone with a tear, like obviously it could be like
Speaker 1: a real minuscule tear and if you but this is
Speaker 1: a problem though. I think when you're dealing with a
Speaker 1: situation like this, they're going to be like, all right,
Speaker 1: you've got extra maintenance. You've got to maintain this arm.
Speaker 1: But obviously that's not natural. If if you're changing what
Speaker 1: you do and you're having to kind of pay attention
Speaker 1: to this and baby this situation, he's not pitching to
Speaker 1: his highest level. No, I don't know what that serves,
Speaker 1: but yeah, McKenzie, it's a bad situation. He was a
Speaker 1: good dynasty option. He's not right now, and I think
Speaker 1: we all clearly know like what we are in line
Speaker 1: for here very shortly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Garcia obviously yesterday a big day, so homering two
Speaker 2: for five, that's what you want out of him. So
Speaker 2: good on the well she another home run for him.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately my stuff got rained out yesterday. So bummer for
Speaker 2: Bell and try and get another one in time. Too
Speaker 2: busy doing football shows for NFL Draft. The Cubs activated
Speaker 2: James and tie On from the IL and also Patrick Wisdom.
Speaker 2: Where does Wisdom fit in with the Cubs now? Between
Speaker 2: Morell and obviously Michael Bush has been red hot?
Speaker 1: Like, where's spot for Wisdom?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I know exactly where it is. It is keeping that
Speaker 1: bench warm, get those seats, move around, make sure that
Speaker 1: any of the bleacher parts are nice and warm for
Speaker 1: all the really, really good players. I don't see where
Speaker 1: that he'll be a pinch hit, day off type of guy.
Speaker 1: I just don't see where the fitt is. Michael Bush
Speaker 1: is too good Chris Morel has been solid with sales
Speaker 1: Suzuki out there might be a little bit more flexibility
Speaker 1: and maybe dhing in a short period of time, But
Speaker 1: Wisdom was like just a big power chase, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe a good matchup or something like that, but you
Speaker 1: won't be keeping that bench nice and warm.
Speaker 2: Before we get to the wheels of Mike Trout, remember
Speaker 2: bet three sixty five. Use that promo code leading off
Speaker 2: bet five bucks, get one hundred and fifty in bonus bets.
Speaker 2: When you do again, we want you to bet responsibly
Speaker 2: as well. Twenty one or over, eighteen or over in
Speaker 2: Kentucky gambling problem called one hundred gambler or one hundred
Speaker 2: bets off in Iowa, terms and conditions apply. Again, use
Speaker 2: that promo code for bet three sixty five. The promo
Speaker 2: code is leading off to bet five bucks, he get
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty in bonus bets. Welsh something fun here.
Speaker 2: Mike Trout has five steals now after stealing two more
Speaker 2: bags yesterday. Is the speedback for Mike Trout. Because this offseason,
Speaker 2: a lot of really good analysts were still off of
Speaker 2: Mike Trout even at the ADP they were getting. There
Speaker 2: was one guy who was not. Now it's you before
Speaker 2: you start, you know, hyper extending your arm to pat
Speaker 2: yourself on the back. Here, that's scorn. It is still April.
Speaker 2: But more importantly, I think this is something that even
Speaker 2: if you were a supportive of Mike Trout, I don't
Speaker 2: think anybody saw this starting you know, six, you know,
Speaker 2: eight steals possibly in April when all said and done. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody had that necessarily on their radar.
Speaker 1: Well you could, you could have envisioned the possibility because
Speaker 1: of Ron Washington, Like this is what he does. He
Speaker 1: wants his teams to run, and that is typically something
Speaker 1: that can be aggressive across the board. The reason maybe
Speaker 1: it wouldn't have happened would be obvious, like you don't
Speaker 1: want your your only really great star player to be hurt.
Speaker 1: This is what he does. He is supportive of base
Speaker 1: stealing and when you look like baseball savant. As far
Speaker 1: as speed ratings go, he's trod has had like tiny,
Speaker 1: tiny tickdowns, but it's been like a ninety five or higher,
Speaker 1: Like he still can run. I think there might have
Speaker 1: just been philosophy differences, there might have been injury base things.
Speaker 1: That's not the case. Washington green Light and we are
Speaker 1: seeing in full force, and this is the type of
Speaker 1: stuff we're talking about. The obvious Mike Trout thing, by
Speaker 1: the way, is like great except when not, you know,
Speaker 1: he gets hurt. That's the argument anyone's gonna make. But
Speaker 1: this was the first year it felt like the narrative
Speaker 1: change from He's gonna get hurt to yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: get hurt. And he's also like not really good anymore
Speaker 1: because he's striking out and he doesn't steal. And this
Speaker 1: has been a complete turnaround.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like in the Suspect too, and
Speaker 2: I think that had a lot to do with it,
Speaker 2: and a lot of people like the surrounding parts. You know,
Speaker 2: you take o Tani out of this lineup, it's a
Speaker 2: much different looking lineup.
Speaker 1: But also there's I think again it comes back to
Speaker 1: like offensive philosophy. Look at the drop right now. It's
Speaker 1: very early in the season, but twenty percent percentage last
Speaker 1: last year, which is the highest his career. It's down
Speaker 1: to twenty point two, which is one of the lowest
Speaker 1: that he's had. I dare get into this that you
Speaker 1: could potentially see this as a selling opportunity, but I
Speaker 1: don't know why you would have like invested in Trout
Speaker 1: and then you're like, all right, I'm just waiting for
Speaker 1: my opportunity to sell. The reasons would be if the
Speaker 1: injuries start to loom, his hard hit numbers are down.
Speaker 1: But I kind of wonder from the success standpoint, is
Speaker 1: this similar to like Cody Bellinger in that his hard
Speaker 1: hit numbers are coming down, but he's making sure his barrel.
Speaker 1: You know, he's barreling up higher, he's making better contact,
Speaker 1: he's making better decisions while he lowers his strikeout rate.
Speaker 1: So maybe some of the top end could fade as
Speaker 1: the season goes on. But if he steals more bases
Speaker 1: and he lowers his k's, we're gonna have vintage Mike Trout.
Speaker 1: And guess what deal of deals? Absolute deal of deals
Speaker 1: when you were drafting in like late February and early March,
Speaker 1: when he was going in the fifties and sixties and
Speaker 1: everyone's like, h screw it, get rid of him. If
Speaker 1: you at all think that you know we're coming to
Speaker 1: a head here, and you believe a lot of the
Speaker 1: people that were in the full fades, then sell them,
Speaker 1: sell them, get out, because you can sell for King's
Speaker 1: ransom right now, I wouldn't gone.
Speaker 2: Right here the baron drout greater than jay Rod. Maybe no,
Speaker 2: not right now, No, I mean right here. No, Look
Speaker 2: who's got the better stats in April? Fine, But if
Speaker 2: you if if here's the perfect example, if somebody is
Speaker 2: souring on Jay Rod in your league and you have
Speaker 2: my trout, I make this trade in a heartbeat. I'm
Speaker 2: taking Julio the rest of the season period and end
Speaker 2: of the story. And I'm not even looking back. And
Speaker 2: I think that's a deal you can pull off. And
Speaker 2: it's a big blockbuster kind of deal. And if you
Speaker 2: have Trout, you mean, you know, you might close your
Speaker 2: eyes a little bit and hit except there because you're
Speaker 2: a little going, Okay, baby's gonna happen. Maybe it's not,
Speaker 2: but I would trust in Julio. He's such a fantastic player.
Speaker 2: In every April he does the same thing. It's like,
Speaker 2: just set your watch. It was like Mark to Chera
Speaker 2: was like that too. He was like the worst in
Speaker 2: April for like an eight year period. I don't know
Speaker 2: what it is about these guys in April, certain guys,
Speaker 2: but that is a trade right now that I'd be
Speaker 2: looking at making if I could.
Speaker 1: No, we will say, like again, Ramashin is letting him run.
Speaker 1: He's gonna keep running if he stays healthy. And let's
Speaker 1: even just like arguing, say, like the Power, even though
Speaker 1: it's been prolific so far, it even tapers down. Hard
Speaker 1: to not envision that Mike Trout is gonna be a
Speaker 1: thirty thirty guy this year. So everything that we're building up,
Speaker 1: I think this really just comes down to injuries. Like
Speaker 1: Mike Trout is proving like, hey, I look it, I
Speaker 1: lowered this k rate that you all were like really
Speaker 1: hyper focused on. I'm making it work. Even though I've
Speaker 1: got more homers than RBI or whatever, like, those are
Speaker 1: all good things. He's gonna come back to a bound
Speaker 1: to Earth, but he could still be a thirty thirty guy.
Speaker 1: So you just have to figure out where that is
Speaker 1: for your own teams. But if people are talking about
Speaker 1: j Rod and people are talking about you know, first
Speaker 1: round talents, there really might be some cool opportunities.
Speaker 2: Right now.
Speaker 1: I see Dan in there, judge your Trout rest of season,
Speaker 1: I mean judge Judge. Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 2: Hard, you know, and the people who are like banging
Speaker 2: on Julio Ron Riguez. Right now, let's just read you
Speaker 2: a stat line for Julio after the bad April last year,
Speaker 2: somebody called him Byron Buckses in the chat, bro, you
Speaker 2: get one hundred and two runs, scored, one hundred and
Speaker 2: eighty hits, thirty seven doubles, thirty two homers, one hundred
Speaker 2: and three ribies.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, and he also stole thirty seven bases. Stop it.
Speaker 2: You sound like an idiot when you say stuff like that.
Speaker 2: Don't say stupid things in my chat, like I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: it's dumb. Don't say that in my chat. And the
Speaker 2: year before and one hundred and thirty two games again
Speaker 2: with a sour April in his first season, still ended
Speaker 2: up with twenty eight homers and twenty five steals. Where
Speaker 2: are those years for Byron Boxton? Come on, this is
Speaker 2: when we get stupid and we start to look. We
Speaker 2: hyper focus, it says, saying this guy's a slow starter,
Speaker 2: this is who he is, instead of looking at the
Speaker 2: bigger picture of this and the fact that he's Oh wait,
Speaker 2: how old is he now? Well she is twenty three
Speaker 2: years old.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, stop it. We got full like
Speaker 1: we got Madge, I like, I personally liked mad Joe.
Speaker 1: Mad Joe's my favorite. You got like a thin died Joe.
Speaker 1: What about this? Real quick? Wonky said, why is it automatically? Judge?
Speaker 1: You know I was gonna say Judge is also injury prone,
Speaker 1: so to me it was an automatic. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I was kind of like automatic for me.
Speaker 2: Injury prone but better team, better ballpark, better pizza, Papa
Speaker 2: John's like all those things, Like it's just look, Aaron,
Speaker 2: Judge is was a first round pick for a reason.
Speaker 2: Mike My Trout wasn't for a reason. Just because so
Speaker 2: far in April Mike Trout has played like a first
Speaker 2: round pick. Does not mean that we're going to get
Speaker 2: that version of him for one hundred and fifty five game,
Speaker 2: because every year we don't. We just don't get it.
Speaker 2: So I think that's what's frustrating. And I'm not saying
Speaker 2: this year we can't get it, but you have to
Speaker 2: start looking at the probabilities of that. And I know
Speaker 2: Judge has risk too, but I'll take the risk of Judge.
Speaker 1: Your philosophy for Trout is by or sell buy that
Speaker 1: he will continue doing what he's doing right now and
Speaker 1: stay healthy ish, play like one hundred and thirty games
Speaker 1: or whatever, or you need to get out now if
Speaker 1: you had to.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not running to get out of Mike Trout business,
Speaker 2: but I am ready to pull off a Julia Rodriguez
Speaker 2: trade for him. I'm running on somebody. If you give
Speaker 2: me elite level Aaron Joe, you're giving me first round
Speaker 2: talent for Mike Trout. Like there's a reason his ADP
Speaker 2: was where it was. And I'm not saying he's not
Speaker 2: great and he's one of the best players in baseball
Speaker 2: because we don't know he is. We just know that
Speaker 2: even if Ron Washington lets him steal like maybe we'll
Speaker 2: maybe he'll end up with one hundred and fifty games,
Speaker 2: he'll go thirty thirty and everything will be glorious. That's
Speaker 2: a lot of faith to have. I'll put my faith
Speaker 2: in the twenty three year old who lier Rodriguez have
Speaker 2: a better five months going forward. I'll just will I'll
Speaker 2: put those stats up against it, and I could be wrong,
Speaker 2: but I will take that risk. I think it's a
Speaker 2: better investment. Let's talk about rookie LOOKI investments. Paul Skeens
Speaker 2: is pretty good at pitching another ege strikeouts at three
Speaker 2: to third innings, he touched triple digits thirty four times.
Speaker 1: I was watching that game yesterday. Does that bother you?
Speaker 2: Like in this age that we live in where everybody
Speaker 2: throws one hundred and ten miles an hour now and
Speaker 2: everyone's arm is falling off this? I mean, should that
Speaker 2: concern all of us?
Speaker 1: Well that's also when Charrington came out, so you know,
Speaker 1: we did the prospects of Stash. We talked about Paul
Speaker 1: Skins and it's so funny too because people are so
Speaker 1: weird about prospects right now and just like, oh, don't
Speaker 1: even care about them, or people are hyper caring about them. Well,
Speaker 1: Cherrington came and kind of like poured some cold water
Speaker 1: that they finally told us like, hey, listen, Paul Skeins
Speaker 1: is not built up for a full like sp workload
Speaker 1: right now. Like he's got to build those innings up.
Speaker 1: So that's why we've gotten these three innings. I've been speculating,
Speaker 1: like why is he only going three innings every single game?
Speaker 1: So they want to build him up. Now, turn it
Speaker 1: to your question where it's like you see this guy
Speaker 1: throwing it's like ninety nine percent of the hardest thrown
Speaker 1: balls in the minor leagues right now, like he has
Speaker 1: all of them. You see all these bullets in the
Speaker 1: minor leagues and it's kind of frustrating. But also I
Speaker 1: watched almost this entire game. I was kind of bouncing
Speaker 1: around to a couple and the fastball is ridiculous. But
Speaker 1: like as he got into the third inning, he got
Speaker 1: up to around sixty four. I think he ended at
Speaker 1: sixty four pitches and he only got into the fourth inning. Like,
Speaker 1: that's not great, that's not great maintenance. That's kind of
Speaker 1: Blake snell Ish without the walks because he throws a
Speaker 1: ton of pitches. He's trying to power strikeout. So a
Speaker 1: I hate seeing it down there be I don't care
Speaker 1: what Sherrington said. I still think we're going to see
Speaker 1: him soon, especially that he's working into the mid sixties
Speaker 1: and see it is overall worrisome seeing a guy throwing
Speaker 1: that max velo in minors and not having it in
Speaker 1: the back of your head. This guy's going down, like
Speaker 1: like nobody maintains anymore. So I just took it in
Speaker 1: a lot of directions there with Paul Skins, he is incredible.
Speaker 1: His change up looks great. You know, he's got that
Speaker 1: slider that he throws really hard, throws his change up
Speaker 1: really hard, and his fastball is almost unhittable. He went
Speaker 1: up against Tony Kemp, who's a major leaguer, and like
Speaker 1: there's one at that like Tony Kemp just swung through
Speaker 1: a one oh two. You could almost see the like
Speaker 1: the hell's going on here type of mentality and everybody
Speaker 1: is locked into it. Paul Skins is when we talk
Speaker 1: about those stashes. I don't care what Charrington says. I
Speaker 1: am stashing Paul Skins because I think when we get
Speaker 1: to that eighty marker sixty four, this last one, he's
Speaker 1: coming up, so like two more starts beginning.
Speaker 2: I would love to see when he gets that call
Speaker 2: up what his trade value is in the open market.
Speaker 2: I'd love to see that, not in dynasty and keeper
Speaker 2: League's obviously not there. When you're redraft leagues may be
Speaker 2: very interesting.
Speaker 1: What do you think like top Well, so you can't
Speaker 1: trade like SP for SP. So like do you think
Speaker 1: you can get like a tea?
Speaker 2: Can it happens?
Speaker 1: Can? Why would you dry? But anybody trade like I
Speaker 1: guess unless they're trading like a struggling picture like.
Speaker 2: Louis Castillo has struggled, Like, I don't think Paul Skins
Speaker 2: for Louis Castillo is a good trade for the you know,
Speaker 2: like I'm saying, I don't know. I mean, I think
Speaker 2: it's it's tough as much as I especially in head
Speaker 2: to head formats, it's a little dangerous because I think
Speaker 2: in the season long we compared it early on, you know,
Speaker 2: back in spring, we said, look look at the Strasbourg year, right,
Speaker 2: his debut year. Can he give you seventy five innings
Speaker 2: eighty innings in that range of great and if he can,
Speaker 2: that's really useful in season long rodo like edy head
Speaker 2: to head format, that's something you have to consider. The
Speaker 2: limitations he's gonna be on the injury risky has because
Speaker 2: how max vlow he is. There's a lot of concerns
Speaker 2: and head to heads and you're probably not gonna have
Speaker 2: him for the playoffs. So in head to head formats,
Speaker 2: Paul Skins is somebody that I think you really got
Speaker 2: to think long and hard about what the value is
Speaker 2: long term and look at that peak value he comes out,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be the fanfare, there's gonna be so much
Speaker 2: attention on him, just like there wasn't Strasbourg. I mean
Speaker 2: that's tasperg start got huge ratings. I remember they put
Speaker 2: on ESPN. Everybody was watching. It was wild and it
Speaker 2: was great, and his value was unbelievable at that time.
Speaker 2: And I think that's when you always have to look
Speaker 2: and see what can I get for this? Because what
Speaker 2: does August and September look like for Paul Skins in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we had the same thing with Uri
Speaker 1: Perez when Uri came up. That's what I've been likening to,
Speaker 1: like Jared Jones too, Like when Uri Perez came up,
Speaker 1: he was amazing for some period of time and then
Speaker 1: it was like, ooh, we have to baby My worry
Speaker 1: would be the pirates have already given us this, like
Speaker 1: we are gonna kind of baby him. That's why, by
Speaker 1: the way, I'm into stashing schemes because I don't want
Speaker 1: to pay exorbitant like fab prices or number one waivers.
Speaker 1: I want to be ahead of the game on it
Speaker 1: because either you can ride out some of the good stats,
Speaker 1: or there might be a men's trade value, Like if
Speaker 1: he were up, who'd you rather have? Rest of the season?
Speaker 1: Paul skeins with some of the unknowns or Michael King.
Speaker 2: Michael King.
Speaker 1: So I mean that, and that seems kind of low.
Speaker 1: That seems kind of low, Like you could probably do
Speaker 1: that maybe.
Speaker 2: Like right, and I think that would be a great
Speaker 2: trade if you can get Michael King, Michael King. Excuse
Speaker 2: me for Paul Skeins. I made them one person. I
Speaker 2: made them mi celebrity couple for a second there, Like
Speaker 2: Michael Kaine in field prospect for the Blue Jays, Orelvis
Speaker 2: Martinez two for five is sol a homer. He's heading
Speaker 2: three h five right now with three homers eleven ribies
Speaker 2: over fifteen games. Are you impressed at all by him?
Speaker 1: I've never been a big O'errolvis, but I guy, but
Speaker 1: I will tell you I've had many conversations Jeff Ponts
Speaker 1: to Baseball America, Like he is definitely defended where bad
Speaker 1: batting average stuff is. He's hitting over three hundred. That's
Speaker 1: great for Arolvis, but he's had some k problems and
Speaker 1: bad batting average stuff. Rob Howard's always been there, so
Speaker 1: that's not his question. He has always kind of defended
Speaker 1: to me a little bit more for an Orelvis Martinez.
Speaker 1: So he's definitely a guy to pay attention to if
Speaker 1: this offense is looking to pick stuff up. They got
Speaker 1: you know, middle infield like David Schneider, Craig Vigio, like
Speaker 1: they could fill that gap. But I just don't know
Speaker 1: how aggressive they're really going to be with that current lineup.
Speaker 1: But you should pay attention to him. He would probably
Speaker 1: be right on the cusp. I didn't have him in
Speaker 1: my stashed article. Maybe that was a mistake.
Speaker 2: Also, Hessen Kiersta for three with a solo homer another
Speaker 2: homer for carstat I.
Speaker 1: Mean trade rumors. There was a rumor going out there
Speaker 1: that that the Orioles might be floating him around in
Speaker 1: trade talks. Yeah, for Mike Trout, that's oh yah, I
Speaker 1: keep forgetting our Mike Trout to the Orioles thing our Yes, yours,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yours, George, George.
Speaker 2: Or Well, I mean you would come you can come
Speaker 2: on board now if you think it's a good idea.
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a great idea. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's happening. I think it's a fantastic idea. Best
Speaker 1: destination do you.
Speaker 2: Want to you want to put the Orioles into All right,
Speaker 2: we are not just fun. Now we're serious. Mike Trout's
Speaker 2: the deal.
Speaker 1: I just think it's a I think it's the Angels.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the Orioles.
Speaker 2: I mean unless the Angels continue. Look last year they
Speaker 2: threw the punch and they're gonna do it again, and
Speaker 2: it's gonna be brutal if they do.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Three up, three down. Marcus Simeon Homer three for five,
Speaker 2: good for him. Ryan Pepio a good start against the Angels.
Speaker 2: One run over six inning, seven strikeouts for the Pepio
Speaker 2: and Jared Durant two more runs and another stolen base
Speaker 2: there for him. He continues to be a just a
Speaker 2: fill in the categor man Duran, I'm so happy he
Speaker 2: was one of our guys we loved going into the season.
Speaker 2: Adp was unbelievable. I don't know how many times I
Speaker 2: took him in mocks. I don't know how many times
Speaker 2: I had to write about who's underrated? Oh, Jared Durant's underrated.
Speaker 2: He has been three down. Canta my eight to six runs,
Speaker 2: five or nobody pitched well yesterday in that game between
Speaker 2: the Tigers and the Rangers. Evan Carter over four another
Speaker 2: oo for him. With two strike cats and Corbyck Carroll
Speaker 2: over four three ks. W TF Welsh, what's going on
Speaker 2: with Corbyck Carroll?
Speaker 1: Wwtf Joe, I come three? I'm frustrated and I've had
Speaker 1: people being like, come on of you, of all people, like,
Speaker 1: of all of the first round picks, I legit. I
Speaker 1: do have the most concern for Corbyn Carroll. And maybe
Speaker 1: I'm just being more dramatic because I'm closer to it,
Speaker 1: but you know, he's kind of been like all or nothing.
Speaker 1: He is so hyper progressive into early counts, which I
Speaker 1: absolutely hate. He has not shown the ability to get
Speaker 1: the ball in the air. He did hit like a
Speaker 1: one eight or one oh nine single yesterday, which if
Speaker 1: there was no one on base he probably would have
Speaker 1: turned into a double. But he's not consistently doing it.
Speaker 1: He's got a one ten max EV and eighty three
Speaker 1: average EV, so I mean that shows how inconsistent he's been.
Speaker 1: But you know, he has had a pretty low a
Speaker 1: pretty low k rate comparatively ten percent this year. He's
Speaker 1: walking more than he's striking out, but he's just not
Speaker 1: making quality contact. He's going to steal a ton of bases.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get on base, but I am worried that
Speaker 1: power is going to take a little bit of backseat.
Speaker 1: I do think you will stabilize and you know, me,
Speaker 1: being me, I would not buy I would buy low
Speaker 1: and stuff like, oh, how about this Mike Trouder Corbyn
Speaker 1: Carroll rest this season.
Speaker 2: Now, that's an interesting one because we only have the
Speaker 2: one season of Corbyn Carroll and it is it was
Speaker 2: a very good season of Corbyan Carroll. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: a big fan, you know that. I almost thought Corbyn
Speaker 2: Carroll was a slumproof kind of guy because of the
Speaker 2: style of his game, because he runs, because he's got
Speaker 2: quick hands. You know, I think. I think it's a
Speaker 2: bad couple weeks. It's a bad stretch. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to overreact to it yet.
Speaker 1: That might be an amazing trade, by the way, if
Speaker 1: you had Mike Trout to go and offer that.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm leaning towards the Carrol side the rest
Speaker 2: of season because I just want the younger player. At
Speaker 2: this point. It's very close.
Speaker 1: Wonky killed me. I love this idea. Wonky says, She's like,
Speaker 1: I absolutely want an EMAI apocalyptic where a Welsh recording
Speaker 1: Carroll segment and it made me think we need, you know,
Speaker 1: my picture of me and Corbyn. We need like a
Speaker 1: back to the future one where one of us is
Speaker 1: like fading away, like slowly over the season as he struggles,
Speaker 1: like I'm fading away, and then when he comes back
Speaker 1: we'll be like yeah, or we just do wear in
Speaker 1: the world are Welsh recorbing Carroll? And then it's just like,
Speaker 1: exactly do you think it's a health issue.
Speaker 2: I know some people were speculating about that, and some
Speaker 2: people in the chat we're talking about that everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Frank Ceves, Frank has been hard about
Speaker 1: that all off season, that they're really thinking that this
Speaker 1: was a shoulder thing. I don't. He's still taking the
Speaker 1: relatively same approach, but he just seems so hyper aggressive,
Speaker 1: so hyper aggressive, and.
Speaker 2: It's like me, I'm hyper aggressive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just it real.
Speaker 2: If you say good things in the chat, but I'm
Speaker 2: excited if you say stupid things in the chat, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take it a task on it, Like that's okay,
Speaker 2: I say stupid things.
Speaker 1: I take myself to task for it. But I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm thinking.
Speaker 2: Look, it's been a while, but we might have to
Speaker 2: bring it back. I am the King of keeping it real.
Speaker 1: Such a good idea. Finish the show with that, please.
Speaker 2: I will here's a question for you too well. I
Speaker 2: wear my crown question in trivia because it made me
Speaker 2: think about it. We were talking about the lighters, al Lighter,
Speaker 2: Jack Lighter, Highlighter, all the lighters when al Lighter was
Speaker 2: traded from the Yankees to the Blue Jays. Who came
Speaker 2: back in that deal from the Blue Jays to the Yankees.
Speaker 2: If you know, drop your answers in the chat. Don't
Speaker 2: google it. I want your authentic answers if you know
Speaker 2: you know, and if you don't, don't go googling it
Speaker 2: because that's no fun.
Speaker 1: I will say. We were talking a little bit about
Speaker 1: the soft Air, and my timeline is messed up on
Speaker 1: Outlighter because like I was like ten years into the
Speaker 1: future when he was a Marlin, So I really don't know.
Speaker 1: I really have absolutely no the.
Speaker 2: Year nineteen ninety where he was traded. That should help.
Speaker 2: It was the beginning of the Yankees, kind of in
Speaker 2: that weird mold where they were tearing out No Uncle Ted.
Speaker 2: It was not David Wells. That's a good one. Tony
Speaker 2: Fernandez also a good one. There. That is incorrect. We're
Speaker 2: going to get to the injuries and then we'll get
Speaker 2: back to see who's right if they can get it.
Speaker 1: Tyler O'Neil concussion, hoping to come back.
Speaker 2: In Tuesday's opener at home against the Guardians, Ryan Nelson
Speaker 2: was removed. Unfortunate for him, he had a right elbow contusion.
Speaker 2: He had to come out of that game. Walker Bueller
Speaker 2: surrendered two runs and two and two thirds yesterday in
Speaker 2: the rehab Star from the elbow. Alex Cobb still dealing
Speaker 2: with the shoulder irritation. Ricky Tiedeman went on the IL
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues, but nobody give a reason why,
Speaker 2: which I think is kind of weird, like don't you
Speaker 2: have to give a reason?
Speaker 1: Why do you put again in an il?
Speaker 2: Okay, and then Ken Rosenthal, this is the biggest news
Speaker 2: reporting that Max Scherzer could return in early May. We
Speaker 2: just said it yesterday on the show. It was like, well,
Speaker 2: Max Suens is going to beat that timeline because he's
Speaker 2: a nut job. So there you go. Max Schurzer looks
Speaker 2: like he's beating that timeline. What does that mean for
Speaker 2: folks who have met right now stashed away? That's got
Speaker 2: to be a huge lift. You can get him back
Speaker 2: in even mid May as opposed at June first. That's huge.
Speaker 2: That's three more starts, four more starts.
Speaker 1: That is massive, massive. I mean, and I can be
Speaker 1: annoying and some people love it, some people hate it.
Speaker 1: But remember talking about you know, I'm on the backfields
Speaker 1: of the in spring training of the Rangers, and I note,
Speaker 1: even though sometimes it's anecdotal, I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: it was really interesting. He was throwing full field across
Speaker 1: the field where de Gram was baby thrown and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. And that showed that timeline being a little
Speaker 1: bit higher, which is gonna make Max Schuzer maybe a
Speaker 1: pretty solid value early on. I'm pretty optimistic about it.
Speaker 1: Stuff isn't quite the same with Max Scherzer, and you
Speaker 1: want that bullpen to be a little bit stronger. Lea
Speaker 1: clerk has been struggling. Kirby Gates is now the closer.
Speaker 1: I don't know how deep I going too games, but
Speaker 1: like bottom line, like this is great. You just want
Speaker 1: solid starters. You hate when you see Andrew Heeney or
Speaker 1: John Gray starting for the Rangers. You want the max
Speaker 1: susers because of the offensive support and everything like that so, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is solid.
Speaker 2: Jerry Nelson, you did it not wrong. Jerry says, I'm
Speaker 2: taking a guess, probably wrong, But Jesse Barfield pops in
Speaker 2: my head. Jesse Barfield is correct. Jesse Barfield had some power,
Speaker 2: had a cannon for an arm. People forget that. Jesse
Speaker 2: Barfield arm were the best right field arms you ever saw.
Speaker 1: His son was the developmental director for the Diamondbacks and
Speaker 1: just went over to think to the White Sox this
Speaker 1: past year.
Speaker 2: George Gestanza for al Leider would have been a good
Speaker 2: trade too. All right, let's gear it up, Welsh, you're ready,
Speaker 2: It's Friday. Let's have some fun, a lot more games today,
Speaker 2: and it's time for the best bets of the day
Speaker 2: with Joey p and the Welsh. Welcome in everybody. We're
Speaker 2: gonna get our MLB bets. Unfortunately, some bets got rained
Speaker 2: out upon yesterday. But I'll still be very much on
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger today as long as things are a little
Speaker 2: drier for me today. Looking at the run line in
Speaker 2: the Phillies game against lowly White Sox, the Phillies have
Speaker 2: been great. They pitched tremendously minus one and a half
Speaker 2: of plus money plus one twenty against the lowly white
Speaker 2: Sox and no crchetes on the mount. I know he's
Speaker 2: the best guy.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: At some point in time, they're gonna either get to
Speaker 2: him or get to the bullpen, and I will take
Speaker 2: the Philly side of this game, especially at home. I
Speaker 2: will also take the Twins minus one and a half
Speaker 2: at plus one forty five against the Tigers as well,
Speaker 2: like the plus money I'm getting, and then I want
Speaker 2: to focus on the Brewers game today. You're getting the
Speaker 2: Brewers on the run line minus one and a half
Speaker 2: at plus one forty against the Cardinals as this one's
Speaker 2: on the road. But Freddy Perolt's pitching and he has
Speaker 2: been absolutely tremendous. Not to mention the fact that Saint
Speaker 2: Louis Cardinals are a strikeout machine of a team. They
Speaker 2: have really had some struggles there at the play collectively,
Speaker 2: there's you could just take him on the money line
Speaker 2: at minus one eighteen. Pair that with Freddy Peralta over
Speaker 2: seven and a half strikeouts today at plus money plus
Speaker 2: one fifteen, and you turn that in to a same
Speaker 2: game parlay for plus two one seven. So that's what
Speaker 2: I'm in on today. The King of keeping it real.
Speaker 2: As you can see, my crown is on today. And
Speaker 2: of course when you make your wagers, don't forget to
Speaker 2: do it over at bet three sixty five. He's that
Speaker 2: promo code leading off at five bucks get one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifth the in bonus bets. When you do Welsh,
Speaker 2: what do you have for the people on a fun Friday?
Speaker 1: You and I are kind of in the same trajectory.
Speaker 1: I've got some bets that are gonna probably be coming
Speaker 1: here in just a little bit, So again, just remind
Speaker 1: you guys fennispros dot com or Bettingpros dot com slash Welsh.
Speaker 1: If you want to follow me, you can do the
Speaker 1: same thing with Joey. Brewers are a really interesting one.
Speaker 1: But let's start with the same place that you started
Speaker 1: in the White Sox and Phillies game. And I'm going
Speaker 1: back to a nurfee. I felt a little dicey about
Speaker 1: it yesterday and I was like, this could be a
Speaker 1: little bit risky, and it was and it didn't cash
Speaker 1: because Pepio was awesome, but the other side wasn't. There
Speaker 1: is some risk in this one today, so buyer beware
Speaker 1: because I'm taking the no run first inning in Chicago
Speaker 1: and Philly. Now Philly is the third highest scoring team
Speaker 1: through the first inning, So Welsh, what the hell are
Speaker 1: you doing? White Sox are in the middle. This is
Speaker 1: about Garrett Crochet. He's about thirty five percent K percentage
Speaker 1: so far this year. I'm not against the idea of
Speaker 1: what you're saying, by the way, that he could get
Speaker 1: got to pretty soon, so I don't hate taking the
Speaker 1: full in the first inning. You got two lefties that
Speaker 1: are going to be at least in the first three
Speaker 1: of that lineup. Garrett Crochet has been hyper deceptive. It's
Speaker 1: fastball is amazing, and he's been just a K monster.
Speaker 1: So I'm betting on Garrett Crochet. And then on the
Speaker 1: other side of it, you know, Spencer Turnbull is up
Speaker 1: and ups and downs White Sox in that middle range.
Speaker 1: But they're hitting around two hundred against righties right now
Speaker 1: and he's got a sub one whip. So I'm banking
Speaker 1: on these two shutting it down at least in the
Speaker 1: first inning very early on. Things may change coming up
Speaker 1: at number two. I'm doing an alt K prop and
Speaker 1: we're going back to Crochet six. This is the six
Speaker 1: to six K prop because Crochet is at six and
Speaker 1: a half, and I'm taking his alt at six and
Speaker 1: I'm adding Freddy Peralta, who's got a pretty big line today,
Speaker 1: where that suckers up at seven and a half. I
Speaker 1: know you took it little concerned about the top end
Speaker 1: of it getting to eight, so I'm bringing it down
Speaker 1: and I'm getting this at minus one twenty and I
Speaker 1: know this is a safe that if you wanted to
Speaker 1: play it at seven for Paralta, you can get plus money.
Speaker 1: But give me strikeouts over for Crochet and Peralta combined,
Speaker 1: that's near ish, you know, even money at one twenty
Speaker 1: and I really like that one. And then finally the
Speaker 1: early game here picking on Ajpuck, this one kept coming
Speaker 1: up and off of books, which is super interesting. I'm
Speaker 1: taking aj pucks walks two and a half over. It's juiced.
Speaker 1: It wasn't as juiced early on. It moved up. The
Speaker 1: reason why he has walked three or more in every
Speaker 1: game he's played. The Cubs are averaging just under four
Speaker 1: walks per game, and they got an overall ten percent
Speaker 1: walk rate, which is at the higher level. AJ Puck
Speaker 1: is kind of stunk, so I'm betting he's gonna walk
Speaker 1: another three in this one for my best bets of
Speaker 1: the day, and I got a few others that'll be
Speaker 1: up on the app.

Speaker 2: That all is working out. Talk to the guy yesterday,
Speaker 2: So that's at an address. Yeah, yeah, your address. Now
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get your address. Let's check in now, all right,
Speaker 2: so let's get after I after all this today, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take from my home run call this weekend
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. You might trout get here. It's in there
Speaker 2: at nine o'clock this morning. By nine in the morning,
Speaker 2: I put this in there and it's staying in there.
Speaker 2: Lit Look, it says Mike Trout, haven't changed it. The
Speaker 2: hands are up here. So there you go, Mike Trout
Speaker 2: for the week. Just because I'm a jerk and that's
Speaker 2: who I am. Welsh. Where are you going for your
Speaker 2: home run call for the weekend?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm making my own pick. I feel like we
Speaker 1: need to have some type of like like if people
Speaker 1: want a wheel, they got to do something. We got
Speaker 1: to see some improvement or something across those on that
Speaker 1: I don't know, like like the video. A whole bunch
Speaker 1: of this video is like more than any of the
Speaker 1: others and watched for this week. We'll bring back the
Speaker 1: wheel next week and have some fun. But we are
Speaker 1: not going to the robots. We're gonna go to me
Speaker 1: and I am gonna make it pretty simple on this one,
Speaker 1: because this is the player from a BBP standpoint, who
Speaker 1: has the most hits versus a pitcher today. This guy
Speaker 1: has I believe, seven extra base hits against this matchup.
Speaker 1: I'm going with Mookie Bets. Mookie Bets at the tippy
Speaker 1: top of the lineup. I get a few extra at bats,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe one, maybe two homers are there. Pretty good
Speaker 1: track record, I believe against Sean and Aya. So give
Speaker 1: me Mookie Bets for my home run call for Friday
Speaker 1: and maybe I'll carry it over to the weekend and
Speaker 1: get me on that board. Dang it.
Speaker 2: So Angelo not a regularly. This is another Angelo. We
Speaker 2: got to we we attract a lot of Angelo's to
