Speaker 1: out there, and of course Welsh, Happy Paul Skeen's Day
Speaker 1: for everybody who celebrates. We're gonna break that down, plus
Speaker 1: have some fun with a redraft of the first round
Speaker 1: from our other show, The Cycle here on our channel.
Speaker 1: Make sure you check that out with Mayor in the worm,
Speaker 1: Mayor in the worm.
Speaker 2: Ellie we in the butt.
Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Everybody? I mean, that is the
Speaker 1: all time best morning radio show ever, but Welsh Paul
Speaker 1: Skeen's debut. Let's just kick things off. We gotta start there.
Speaker 1: It was pretty much the line we were tossing around
Speaker 1: in that range. I think I said four inning, seven
Speaker 1: strike ups. I think I gave him four and two thirds.
Speaker 1: I gave him little bit of a benefit of doubt.
Speaker 1: It was fun for me. It was enjoyable. I had
Speaker 1: to go back and watch it on DVR because I
Speaker 1: had things going on in the afternoon. The crowd was good.
Speaker 1: It wasn't Strasburg electric I'm sorry everybody who's telling me
Speaker 1: it wasn't the Strasbourg electricity that night. It was a
Speaker 1: night game. It was the weather was good. He was unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Fourteen strikeouts. I believe in that. In that crazy one.
Speaker 1: I had goosebumps, literally, like just thinking about it, I
Speaker 1: got the goosebumps. The scheme's start was fun. He struggled
Speaker 1: with the control a little bit, a little trouble on
Speaker 1: the outside. It was funny. I think it was on
Speaker 1: the third or fourth inning he was struggling a little
Speaker 1: bit with the control and like one oh one, two,
Speaker 1: and then he dropped one in there at ninety six,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, you know what, that can
Speaker 1: be effective too, buddy, Like we don't have to throw
Speaker 1: every ball one hundred and two miles an hour. I'm
Speaker 1: sure the adrenaline was pumping some good some lots so good.
Speaker 1: My big takeaway, well shot, I want to get your
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. Was that Nico Horner. You know the
Speaker 1: home run, right, I feel like it's the Nico Horners
Speaker 1: of the world, the Stephen Kwanza the world. The guys
Speaker 1: who make really good contact are the guys that could
Speaker 1: give pictures like schemes trouble at the major league level.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that?
Speaker 3: I mean, I suppose, yeah, like when you hit a
Speaker 3: hundred and you're or you're you know, on the gun,
Speaker 3: you're hitting one hundred hundred and one, if you can
Speaker 3: just get the barrel out in front, you've got a
Speaker 3: decent opportunity whatever type of power here you are, to
Speaker 3: launch the ball. So that's gonna be a lot about
Speaker 3: you know, bat speed and contact, and he's a high contact.
Speaker 2: Player, so yeah, probably not a huge shock.
Speaker 3: I watched this entire game because, like you said, this
Speaker 3: line was about where I said everything I was doing
Speaker 3: all the videos. I was like, listen, this is a
Speaker 3: six to seven or eight strikeout game really, regardless of
Speaker 3: how far he goes did not think he go five.
Speaker 3: He didn't, and then the rain. But I did make
Speaker 3: some decent money parlaying and just solo betting those strikeouts.
Speaker 3: But it was an interesting performance because the crowd was electric.
Speaker 3: He wasn't because of everything we had done, the build
Speaker 3: up and talking about Cubs would drive some counts. He
Speaker 3: was probably going to struggle a little bit with command. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he also did something interesting. I have to go back
Speaker 3: and look inning to inning, but it felt like in
Speaker 3: the first two innings it was like really heavy fastballs
Speaker 3: and there's some splitters, and then he went really heavy
Speaker 3: slider he had. I think it was a third inning
Speaker 3: where it felt like, why aren't you throwing a fastball?
Speaker 3: Like he wouldn't throw a fastball in two strike counts,
Speaker 3: and he kept throwing off speed stuff.
Speaker 2: He ended.
Speaker 3: If everybody wants to know that he didn't go and
Speaker 3: look yourself, thirty five percent with rate on the day,
Speaker 3: eighty four pitches, the most he'd had in the majors
Speaker 3: this year at thirty three percent CSW. His most effective
Speaker 3: pitch was the splitter fifty eight percent with rate, fastball
Speaker 3: twenty seven percent with rate. You know, good ratings across
Speaker 3: the board. Command was a little bit eh. And this
Speaker 3: just comes back down to the thing I had been saying,
Speaker 3: how deep will he be able to go into games?
Speaker 2: Ultimately? When that will that command fix itself? Yeah? Maybe sure, but.
Speaker 3: You know, like our guy's going to be sitting on
Speaker 3: a certain pitch, not eating at that splitter. And because
Speaker 3: he's a big strikeout guy, I think it's just going
Speaker 3: to be tough in general for him to get pass
Speaker 3: five a whole lot. But he is going to be
Speaker 3: a really good fantasy option. I think it met most
Speaker 3: of the expectations, though I will say I don't know
Speaker 3: if his trade value is more if you care about training,
Speaker 3: by the way, if it's more after the start than.
Speaker 2: It was before.
Speaker 3: But I felt like everything that I walked into the game,
Speaker 3: I left with the exact same breakdown, like nothing changed
Speaker 3: my thought process.
Speaker 1: Me too, And this is why I think we said
Speaker 1: what we said, which is if you are going to
Speaker 1: sell schemes, do it before the start, Like, do it
Speaker 1: it's all if that's your thing, if it's all theoretical value.
Speaker 1: But it is going to be a lot of four
Speaker 1: and five inning starts for him over the next few months.
Speaker 1: There are gonna be strikeout totals. Like if you're in
Speaker 1: head to head points leagues where strikeouts are heavily valued,
Speaker 1: skiings is going to be worthwhile. Bridge to the win
Speaker 1: will be tricky in season long, Rod even if he
Speaker 1: pitches relatively well because of the limitations. Some of those
Speaker 1: whippen eras are going to be a little inflated, sometimes
Speaker 1: artificially because of the amount of innings potentially, So if
Speaker 1: he has his art like you did you know this
Speaker 1: past one or you know, you give up three or
Speaker 1: four runs and four innings, it doesn't look all that,
Speaker 1: you know at the end of the day. But I'm
Speaker 1: sure there will be some electric moments here from Skins.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the adrenaline was pumping.
Speaker 3: I'm sure the first inning was a litle I'm gonna
Speaker 3: tell you this, like the crowd is electric. The first
Speaker 3: inning was explosive. It was that if anyone ever plays
Speaker 3: like MLB, the show that MLB, the show Power Fastball,
Speaker 3: where it was like you never had a chance. That's
Speaker 3: what the fastball looked like in the first inning. Then
Speaker 3: I thought stuff started settling down, Hitters started settling down,
Speaker 3: so everything kind of came back down. That first inning
Speaker 3: I did think was absolutely electric from Paul Skins, and you.
Speaker 2: Got to seek.
Speaker 3: I thought you got the full package of what you're
Speaker 3: gonna get from Paul Skins this year. Maybe he's a
Speaker 3: little bit more efficient, goes a tiny bit deeper. Maybe
Speaker 3: it is a whole lot of four and one third
Speaker 3: right at five starts, but like you're gonna probably get
Speaker 3: six plus strikeouts on a nightly basis from Paul Skins.
Speaker 3: It just will it ever be Strasbourg?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Is it ever gonna be you know, four team strikeouts?
Speaker 2: I don't know. The Pirates seem to be super babying,
Speaker 2: but it's.
Speaker 3: Gonna be fun to watch. Does he get to ninety five?
Speaker 3: Does he get to one hundred pitches? What type of
Speaker 3: babying happens? But he's here and enjoy it.
Speaker 1: He is enjoy the ride everybody. By the way I
Speaker 1: saw this, this is like the first question in the
Speaker 1: chat today before the show even started. So Jake's coming
Speaker 1: in hot today. Over the weekend, I traded Imanaga and
Speaker 1: I got Austin Riley. Please tell me I did a
Speaker 1: good thing by just the Riley injury of course, Well
Speaker 1: that's the only caveat now with the Riley side injury,
Speaker 1: and how long has he been dealing with the side injury,
Speaker 1: and maybe that explains the slow start. Theoretically, this is
Speaker 1: a great trade. Theoretically you're getting the everyday player who
Speaker 1: is a terrific player. Yeah, the strikeout totals were high
Speaker 1: last year, but so were the power numbers the whole
Speaker 1: Braves offense right now, the last two weeks they've scored
Speaker 1: the second least amount of runs by the way Welsh
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks of Major League Baseball, so
Speaker 1: it's not been a good run for them. Also, it'll
Speaker 1: get hot, a coon, You'll get hot, like it's all
Speaker 1: gonna change. But theoretically this feels like a really good
Speaker 1: trade for Jake as long as Riley's healthy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: I mean this is the type of trade that you're
Speaker 3: trying to make. Even August numbers, I think are the thing.
Speaker 2: That make this field. So like, did I do the
Speaker 2: right thing?
Speaker 3: If we start seeing the next couple starts, you know,
Speaker 3: things balance itself out. I think I think you'll feel
Speaker 3: a little bit better. Not that he's gonna get blown
Speaker 3: up or anything. He's got the Braves tonight. Maybe Riley,
Speaker 3: will you be able to get ahold of e Vanaga?
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think this is what you want, all right.
Speaker 1: I want to know what everybody else thinks about the
Speaker 1: scheme start too, So drop your give drug, your star rating,
Speaker 1: your grades, whatever you want to do with the first scheme.
Speaker 3: How many schemes, So it's going to five schemes, scale
Speaker 3: five scheme, scale five schemes for all the schemes.
Speaker 2: In the window.
Speaker 1: Nope, all these schemes does.
Speaker 3: I will still go scroll y'all schemes?
Speaker 1: Mother, all right? So they go four to five from
Speaker 1: Lucas on the schemes.
Speaker 2: Actually, look, everyone went right into the skin scale.
Speaker 1: The skin scales is a good Let's have that be our grade.
Speaker 1: Most of the time. I want to onn these headlines
Speaker 1: and I want to do this first round thing. This
Speaker 1: is really fun. So headlines from the weekend beside schemes.
Speaker 1: Brent Rooker also red hot tenth homer of the season
Speaker 1: for him. He was in the Waiwire video this week.
Speaker 1: I told everybody was like, look, I don't know what
Speaker 1: what everybody's sleeping on here. The guy hit thirty home
Speaker 1: runs last year, he's looking at three hundred on his
Speaker 1: m he's a tear right now. When he was rostered
Speaker 1: in less than fifty percent of leagues and now I look,
Speaker 1: it's only like sixty something. What are we doing here?
Speaker 4: I know I'm completely withyest ops of any player.
Speaker 1: By the way, over the last two weeks.
Speaker 3: This is one of those things like I'll admit it,
Speaker 3: like when I'm just not super into a guy and
Speaker 3: then the expectations are completely flipped. Like sometimes I actually
Speaker 3: become a little bit obsessive about it. And YO, like
Speaker 3: seventeen point nine percent barrel percentage attached to a fifty
Speaker 3: percent hard hit rate. You get over fifteen percent barrel
Speaker 3: and over fifty percent hard.
Speaker 1: To hit rate.
Speaker 2: Boom, that is beautiful.
Speaker 3: A two eighty five expected batting average, huge hard hit numbers,
Speaker 3: double digit walk rate. I don't think it's all going
Speaker 3: to continue. Brent Rooker's going to hit thirty homers this year,
Speaker 3: It's not a question. And now like eighties go to
Speaker 3: the way there. I know we did this on ITL
Speaker 3: the other day because I was losing my mind about
Speaker 3: Brent Rooker. I believe nine days ago he was like
Speaker 3: twenty something percent owned in CBS leagues and I think
Speaker 3: he was still in the sixties a couple days ago.
Speaker 3: So yes, Brent Rooker definitely must add with that hitting profile.
Speaker 3: That again, I don't think it's going to like continue continue,
Speaker 3: But when it's all said and done, it's thirty thirty
Speaker 3: five homers this year, and we're like, oh my god, an.
Speaker 1: Eight guy not to be lost in the shuffle. Josh
Speaker 1: Neil or one of our draft darlings. Eleventh home run
Speaker 1: for him this weekend too. Shout out to him, said Lugo.
Speaker 1: Huge performance for him. So the strikeout tolls have been lacking,
Speaker 1: and he heard us twelve case and one run giving
Speaker 1: up on Sunday. It was against the Angels, but still
Speaker 1: he had who was in front of you?
Speaker 3: I think I saw this stat It was the highest
Speaker 3: rpm pitch so rotations, the highest spin of a single
Speaker 3: pitch that got a strikeout all season long. It was
Speaker 3: like thirty four hundred and some change that he got
Speaker 3: on that curve ball. He throws up to thirty five
Speaker 3: hundred spin. It's the biggest spinny pitch in baseball. It's
Speaker 3: just officiously setting it up. Yeah, exactly, that's you know,
Speaker 3: baseball savant. Baseball savant. You know they're getting all the
Speaker 3: other new metrics or adding hitting metrics. Mine is the
Speaker 3: idiot metrics. I'm like, spinny spins and downy downs and.
Speaker 1: Yet was it the uppy ups? Would you do?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: The uppy ups, the downy downs. That's the Welsh savantin.
Speaker 1: Verlander he bounced back to, which was good. He'd been
Speaker 1: a little rocky lately. Eight strikeouts for him against the
Speaker 1: Tigers again, you know, good opponent Zach Wheeler though, six runs,
Speaker 1: six hits, four innings, no decision against the Marlins. That's
Speaker 1: not what everybody had on their bingo card, nor Cole Reagan's,
Speaker 1: who got touched up for seven runs and six and
Speaker 1: a third. Now, people will tell me, well, you know
Speaker 1: some guys, oh and they got driven in. I don't
Speaker 1: care you left the guys on. Those are your runners.
Speaker 1: It's your responsibility if you couldn't finish the inning, and
Speaker 1: it wasn't against the Angel. So Reagan's has been very
Speaker 1: up and down lately. So Welsh, let's talk about it here,
Speaker 1: because use Reagans, a lot of people had that mentality
Speaker 1: of let's make this guy our number one starter and
Speaker 1: a rotation and fae pitching all together. To me, that
Speaker 1: was a risky strategy. We had arguments about it when
Speaker 1: Nick was on the show pitcher list, which I said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I love Cole Reagan's, but let's not make him out
Speaker 1: to be Justin Verlander yet. Let's not make him out
Speaker 1: to be those things yet there's always a reason why
Speaker 1: a team gives up on a guy who has talent.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're wrong, but most of the time there's something
Speaker 1: else going on there. Reagan's undoubtedly has talent. Reagan's is
Speaker 1: gonna be a good major league pitcher. He is right now,
Speaker 1: but you're seeing some inconsistencies and some bad outings and
Speaker 1: bad outings against some bad teams, which, to me, Welsh
Speaker 1: is more disturbing your thoughts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little bit bothered by one thing I
Speaker 3: would I'd say we're moving away from is we're probably
Speaker 3: and I think this happens with a lot of players
Speaker 3: where it's like, all right, maybe he bounces back and
Speaker 3: he's just like a really good pitcher rest this season,
Speaker 3: But what did that first five weeks do to the
Speaker 3: like the overall value, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 3: like like, yes, we could look and hey, he's awesome,
Speaker 3: but what happened early on is something that we have
Speaker 3: to play into it that it's like, oh, I don't
Speaker 3: know if he can be a top top fifteen, a
Speaker 3: top ten sp like was being thrown around.
Speaker 4: Is consistency, Welsh, and he is just wildly inconsistent. I
Speaker 4: completely agree he has been wildly inconsistent. This last start,
Speaker 4: he had his average numbers just down in general, fastball down,
Speaker 4: tiny bit change up like from a Velo perspective, Cutter
Speaker 4: was down almost a mile and a half. His whiff
Speaker 4: rates haven't looked good. Hit eleven whiffs in that start
Speaker 4: off of his change up. He only had two other
Speaker 4: whiffs off any other pitch. So again, what that's telling
Speaker 4: you is the ineffectiveness of the rest of his pitches.
Speaker 4: And you have to have, in my mind, you have
Speaker 4: to have like good even distributions to be elite elite
Speaker 4: because if everyone is just eaten on your change up,
Speaker 4: that means they're sitting off of other stuff.
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's just going to keep.
Speaker 3: If they stop, you know, swinging at your change up,
Speaker 3: then is your fastball going to be good enough. It's
Speaker 3: just one of these things that I'm not sure the
Speaker 3: consistency is to get there for him to be the
Speaker 3: elite of lead and listen, I'm a buyer.
Speaker 2: I put him in a trade video.
Speaker 1: Because it feels like a bye. His last five starts
Speaker 1: as e RA. You want to get a guess with
Speaker 1: the e ra as over last five, Oh, I bet
Speaker 1: it's like it's like six six point three to one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's an interesting opportunity to buy on him,
Speaker 1: but you have to temper your expectations for that too.
Speaker 1: And and again this is the danger. We loved Michael King,
Speaker 1: we loved Cole Reagan's we love them in their place,
Speaker 1: and Michael King also a guy that has shown you
Speaker 1: at times very good. This is why they were ranked
Speaker 1: as SP Three's. A good SP three is gonna have
Speaker 1: SP one moments, but they're also going to remind you
Speaker 1: why they're in SP three every now and then, and
Speaker 1: that's something you have to bake into your rankings when
Speaker 1: you're going into draft season.
Speaker 3: I think I will say I do think this, like
Speaker 3: May Area is a really like interesting transitional time of players,
Speaker 3: hitters in pitchers where you know, the the highs of
Speaker 3: the season, teams are starting to adjust, pictures happening kind
Speaker 3: of the same way. I mean, I don't I don't
Speaker 3: think he's on this list here, and I don't want
Speaker 3: to go out of this show not talking about him.
Speaker 2: But look at like Alec Manoa.
Speaker 3: You know, Alec Manoa had an insanely effective good start
Speaker 3: this week and something we had not seen out of
Speaker 3: him in a long time.
Speaker 2: Let me look at what the line was.
Speaker 3: He went seven, struck out six, a decent amount of
Speaker 3: hard hit but only walked one. And then when you're
Speaker 3: looking at his savant page, he had thirty three percent
Speaker 3: with rate, fifteen whiffs on forty six pitches and that
Speaker 3: happened over only seventy eight total pitches run.
Speaker 2: It was all really effective.
Speaker 3: Again, this is transitional time of like hitters kind of
Speaker 3: readjusting to the length of the season, pitchers who have
Speaker 3: been pitching over the course of you know, five or
Speaker 3: six starts early on Minoa's maybe a little bit different.
Speaker 3: But we're literally in a space where over the weekend,
Speaker 3: Cole Reagan's is now stacked up a couple black and
Speaker 3: Alec Manoa just stacked up.
Speaker 2: His greatest start of the season.
Speaker 3: And you know, it's something to not read too much
Speaker 3: into on both sides. I'm selling on Alec Manoa, I'm
Speaker 3: buying on Reagans, But I don't think Colt Reagan's is
Speaker 3: going to get to a level of consistency where we're
Speaker 3: putting him like Tyler Glatt. We're putting him in like
Speaker 3: a Cy Young range. And that's what kind of stinks at.
Speaker 1: Least right those of you who just watches on YouTube,
Speaker 1: is a reminder every single Thursday, we have an audio
Speaker 1: long form podcast for baseball with May with the Worm
Speaker 1: called The Cycle. It's the best podcast that isn't ours
Speaker 1: uh and only occurs, by the way, starting to heat
Speaker 1: up a little bit. So look at that. So we're
Speaker 1: bringing him around. Uh. But the the gents over there
Speaker 1: and Kelly Kirby got together and did a fun little
Speaker 1: redrafting round one with May with the Worm, and they
Speaker 1: have here's how it works here, Oh tani, that's a kunya.
Speaker 1: Now I still would take a kunya one overall and
Speaker 1: have no problem with that's when one overall, I have
Speaker 1: no problem.
Speaker 2: Was it this way? This was? This was mayor worm?
Speaker 2: And then I think Kelly and they just they what
Speaker 2: did picked the pick?
Speaker 1: They they went through one, two, three one.
Speaker 2: Do we know who one and two were?
Speaker 1: I don't, but I can only assume that whoever had
Speaker 1: nine was probably worm because it's an oriole.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's good. So that's three.
Speaker 3: So he got a kunya. So wow, Kelly and Mayer
Speaker 3: let akunya not go one?
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 1: So the top three were o Tani bets Akuni again,
Speaker 1: we're splitting hairs there. Bobby Witt four, Kyle Tucker at five.
Speaker 1: It feels pretty good. But Wan Soto at six, I
Speaker 1: just feel is downright disrespectful at this point. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, Wan Sota, by the way this year is
Speaker 1: hitting five hundred against the Astros. I just want to
Speaker 1: put that out there. Five to sixty. I think he
Speaker 1: was in against the Astros. So Wan Soto six, here's
Speaker 1: what's fun. Welsh Ellie de la Cruz sneaks into the
Speaker 1: top ten at seven, then Zach Wheeler Corbyn Burns again.
Speaker 1: I think no Pictures deserve to be in the first
Speaker 1: round because I'm a jerk and I believe this is
Speaker 1: where fantasy baseball is and I don't think I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: Oh chance, it's Burns either.
Speaker 3: It's just not chance now that that definitely was warm
Speaker 3: doing that because.
Speaker 1: He's then Arise and Gunner Henderson and Freddie Freeman. So
Speaker 1: as far as the hitters, yeah, it feels about right.
Speaker 1: Are there any egregious people grow off the top of
Speaker 1: your head that you want to kick out? Like I
Speaker 1: want to kick the pictures out. That's the first thing
Speaker 1: I want to do. And they had a good conversation
Speaker 1: about all this, so again check it out. It was
Speaker 1: in the last episode that they did. You can go
Speaker 1: listen to it wherever, get your podcast on Fantasy Pros,
Speaker 1: MLB Fantasy Baseball Feed. But Who's missing? Because I think
Speaker 1: that is the big conversation. There is there somebody that's
Speaker 1: missing that you want to kick out, like one of
Speaker 1: the pictures for.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's anybody that doesn't need that,
Speaker 3: like is missing that is crazy egregious though I will
Speaker 3: say it's kind of interesting that Corby Carrol's not in
Speaker 3: there obviously for his performance is the issue. No, no, no,
Speaker 3: but okay, but this was a bock that was done
Speaker 3: with one month into the season and he has been
Speaker 3: completely kicked out of the first round. There's no Jordanalvarez,
Speaker 3: no Olsen slipping in there, none of the other big
Speaker 3: first basement but Carroll, Bryce Harper.
Speaker 1: You could you could you know kind of you know,
Speaker 1: he's got nine homers so far this year. That's a
Speaker 1: guy you could, you know, at least have that conversation.
Speaker 1: I would want Soto in the top five. I think
Speaker 1: that's something at this point. He's earned that. If we're
Speaker 1: doing it, we're hot. Take, we're in there. Marcus Simeon's
Speaker 1: the other guy. I keep pount of the table for
Speaker 1: market Simmeon. Like, I just don't think he gets enough
Speaker 1: credit for how good he's been. Right, Well, who's he
Speaker 1: gonna make it out? But who's he gonna jump over?
Speaker 3: Like, Like, I think if Gunner wasn't in this, I
Speaker 3: would be, uh, you know, i'd be up in arms
Speaker 3: because I think that's a really good one.
Speaker 1: Well, Gunner definitely should be in it, and he was.
Speaker 1: It was I think it's a pretty good first round.
Speaker 1: Elle As I would just take out.
Speaker 3: Ellie is super fascinating though, because one to point out,
Speaker 3: obviously Ellie has.
Speaker 2: Been absolutely electric this year.
Speaker 3: But one thing we're not talking about is Elly a
Speaker 3: lot lately because he's been stinking and everyone's quiet about it.
Speaker 3: He's hitting two sixteen in May right now. The stolen
Speaker 3: bases are there. He's gonna lead the league in stolen bases.
Speaker 3: That's happening unless he gets hurt. But he has two
Speaker 3: RBI in May. He's walked three times. He has one homer,
Speaker 3: two doubles, eight total hits, two sixteen A three ten OBP,
Speaker 3: And I get why he would get in there, especially
Speaker 3: if this is done like a week ago, so this
Speaker 3: is closer to the April numbers. But it makes me
Speaker 3: laugh because this is that's this is Ellie encapsulated, like
Speaker 3: he's the guy that has number one overall talent.
Speaker 1: And then he's the guy who goes.
Speaker 3: We all hate our lives and Corbyn Carroll is coming.
Speaker 3: He's coming back up. The power isn't there, but he doubles.
Speaker 3: He's scoring a bunch of runs.
Speaker 1: Gorn Carroll bad enough. Corbyn Carroll was bad enough that
Speaker 1: I'm okay with him being knocked out of this first round.
Speaker 1: He was a rookie last year. He's got one year
Speaker 1: track record. I got no problem with that. Uh, here's
Speaker 1: a fun question. If Trout wasn't hurt, if we did
Speaker 1: this two weeks ago, would Trout had been in that
Speaker 1: first round oh.
Speaker 2: Before the injury? Yeah, I think so. I think he
Speaker 2: would have been.
Speaker 3: I think he would have justified Trout over Freddie Freeman
Speaker 3: right now, Freddie is solid and he made it at twelve.
Speaker 3: But I mean, I think if we had done this
Speaker 3: three weeks ago, before the Trout injury, I think I would.
Speaker 5: Be sure it's only right. Well, even a little bit
Speaker 5: at the water park, like two weeks ago. I feel like,
Speaker 5: but even if it's a little bit even, it's a
Speaker 5: little bit further. I think Ellie would have been like
Speaker 5: top three or four at that point. I think Elli
Speaker 5: would have been a fascinating debate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fascinating. Also just for fun. Spencer Torkle sinking grads
Speaker 1: buddy first home out of the season. I told you
Speaker 1: don't drop him yet, go get him.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, now he's fixed, he's better.
Speaker 1: It's all gonna be fine.
Speaker 3: Rather than Spencers rest of the season, what I'd rather
Speaker 3: have Brent Rooker than Torsen season.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna argue that after sending four games, Jackson
Speaker 1: Churio came back for over two with a walk Welsh.
Speaker 1: It feels like Jackson Churio might be heading back to
Speaker 1: the farm for a little while. You know what they
Speaker 1: said in your dog that's not doing well, they send
Speaker 1: him out to the farm.
Speaker 2: And it's okay, you're gonna be old.
Speaker 1: Yeller, Oh yeller, feel that way. So we are at
Speaker 1: bargain basement right now in Dynasty and in Redraft? Are
Speaker 1: you buying in both?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I'm always buying. You give me big discounts.
Speaker 3: On Jackson, Holiday and and Surio and everybody one named Jackson. Yeah,
Speaker 3: any but Jackson, Merrill, Uh, Corby and Carroll will just
Speaker 3: start rhyming all the give me discounts on those in
Speaker 3: Dynasty right now episode Redraft, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think Jackson, if Jackson Turio is sent to the miners,
Speaker 3: he's going to hit the waiver wires. So I don't
Speaker 3: think there's any reason in redraft to buy. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not gonna buy on Jackson Turio
Speaker 3: in redraft right now because I think the adjustment periods
Speaker 3: are tough, and as this team has been really good offensively,
Speaker 3: I think it does been near impossible for him to
Speaker 3: get to the top of the lineup unless he's hitting
Speaker 3: really well.
Speaker 2: And you're not gonna hit well if you're in the miners.
Speaker 3: So no, I'm not buying on Tario for redraft rest
Speaker 3: of season right now.
Speaker 1: Speaking of hitting well of the miners, James would two
Speaker 1: more dingers on Saturday, and Louis gel had been terrific
Speaker 1: for the Yankee six shoutouts against the race on Sunday. Again,
Speaker 1: a guy I wish we were we talked more about
Speaker 1: we were curious, but we weren't invested enough.
Speaker 2: Put him in the trade video a couple weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Though it's like I am buying him to be not elite, elite,
Speaker 3: you know, but like, well he didn't go to the range.
Speaker 1: You can't get rid of him. When Cole comes back
Speaker 1: in theory you go to a six man or somebody
Speaker 1: else is get involved, Like, I mean, you can't get
Speaker 1: rid of this guy. He's been terrific. Three down, Clark Schmidt.
Speaker 1: There you go, by the way, speaking of Schmidt's, how
Speaker 1: often do you get to make that transition? So Mike
Speaker 1: Schmidt's old house is up for sale outside on the
Speaker 1: Blue Line, out of the outer Philadelphia area. I saw
Speaker 1: the tour of it or whatever, the virtual tour, you know,
Speaker 1: because I'm a big real estate.
Speaker 2: And you're gonna buy it. You're gonna buy it.
Speaker 1: It's spectacular with that fancy pros money, with that money,
Speaker 1: what a spectacular home. This was Mike Schmidt, classy guy.
Speaker 1: Three up and three down, Brandon Nemo, you just set
Speaker 1: that up.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about, like, give us something.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it was really cool.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Oh, okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was like it was just like it was very elegant.
Speaker 1: They were chandeliers and sitting rooms in the backyard was
Speaker 1: spectacular with rolling hills into pools and stuff. It was magnificent.
Speaker 1: I don't know if all of us, combined all the
Speaker 1: peanuts and the cracker Jacks, could afford to keep that
Speaker 1: house going, but I'd like to try. I think that's
Speaker 1: an experiment we should have.
Speaker 2: You know, we should do a be like a content house.
Speaker 3: We should have a Fantasy pros house where we all
Speaker 3: like live there for like a years.
Speaker 1: I think that'd be amazing tourry football season, like just
Speaker 1: one big fraternity of us hanging out and drinking beer
Speaker 1: and doing fantasy.
Speaker 3: I was I was with you guys for four days
Speaker 3: and now called problem. Yeah, that would be a problem.
Speaker 1: All right. Brandon Nimmo hero last night to run Homer
Speaker 1: walk off against the Braves. Love when the Mets beat
Speaker 1: the Pereieves. Julio Rodriguez too, run Homer. On Sunday, you
Speaker 1: Darvish fantastic against the Dodgers. Seven k's Let's go you Darvish.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Dodgers on the three down Walker Bueller
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit. Three runs, five hits over three
Speaker 1: and third. Reggie Montos was good when we came back,
Speaker 1: and then he gave up five runs for earned in
Speaker 1: four and two thirds against the Giants. More on, the
Speaker 1: Giants had a second, a lot of injuries there to
Speaker 1: get to and Eloya Meenez over four. He is now
Speaker 1: seven for his US forty eight games. Eloya Menez. So
Speaker 1: there you go. Austin Riley on the injury report, the
Speaker 1: side issue, he's hopeful that he's going to return to
Speaker 1: the lineup in the upcoming week. We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 1: We'll keep you up, did it. Jung Hu Lee has
Speaker 1: a dislocated shoulder. He's gonna be out for a while.
Speaker 1: Michael Conforto goes to the IL with a hamstring strains.
Speaker 1: So you lose not one but two guys in that
Speaker 1: lineup for the Giants. That is no bueno and I'll
Speaker 1: be trolling them starting today on the betting market today.
Speaker 1: Brox and Garrett five runs on five hits in his
Speaker 1: first start back there against the Phillies. Blake Snell really
Speaker 1: good his minor league rehab assignment at single A, but
Speaker 1: again it's single A, so of course he retired everybody
Speaker 1: in Grace Rodriguez thirty pitch session.
Speaker 3: So working his way back, speaking of working their way back.
Speaker 3: Just wanting to share this.
Speaker 2: I was over.
Speaker 3: I've been going to some of the Complex League games
Speaker 3: out here, sharing some stuff. I saw Johnny Cuato pitch
Speaker 3: the other day, going to Surprise Stadium for the Rangers.
Speaker 3: They pulled him into that jersey a little bigger than
Speaker 3: you and Cueto, and he was out there, and you
Speaker 3: want to talk. You might see him in the majors.
Speaker 3: But I watched Cuato go three innings against a complex
Speaker 3: level Padres team. He gave up a homer to a
Speaker 3: kid who had no career homers. His name was I
Speaker 3: think kJ Choi and he was sitting eighty five. So
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's gonna make it, but they're
Speaker 3: trying to build him up. But I did see Quato
Speaker 3: doing all his Cuato things in Complex League.
Speaker 2: It was a blast from the past. So as far
Speaker 2: as Holo.
Speaker 1: Pitch right now, I would take Bartolo Colone over half
Speaker 1: the league right now. If I needed three innings, he
Speaker 1: could go out there and do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, him and Quota about the same body type
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: Too, yeah, but not the same arm Bartolo Colonna. I
Speaker 1: guarantee it gets okay up the ninety I'm telling.
Speaker 3: You, oh yeah, No, he was a Quato was eighty five,
Speaker 3: eighty five, eighty five.
Speaker 1: Tool is like Satchel Paige. He'll be like sixty years old.
Speaker 1: He come in, he could throw three innings of.
Speaker 3: Like those guys that won't retire either, that are kind
Speaker 3: of like they want to come back like Bartolo. And
Speaker 3: you see like Manny Ramirez be like, I'm not like
Speaker 3: I want guys to come back at like fifty five
Speaker 3: like softball looking bodies.
Speaker 2: I want to get back to the majors.
Speaker 1: That's right. Fit Fat Pablo, Fit fat Welsh. You know
Speaker 1: what time it is. It's time for the best bets
Speaker 1: of the day with Joey p the Welsh. Make sure
Speaker 1: you bet at bet three six five US that promo
Speaker 1: code leading off when you do, and if you have
Speaker 1: five bucks, you get one hundred and fifty in bonus
Speaker 1: bets all the time you do that. Don't forget everybody
Speaker 1: twenty one or older in Kentucky gambling problem called one
Speaker 1: hundred gambler or one hundred bets off in Iowa terms
Speaker 1: and conditions apply, Welsh. I told you before I am
Speaker 1: trolling the Giants, not one but two outfielders on the il.
Speaker 1: The lineup is thing. They brought up Mattos, who hasn't
Speaker 1: done anything in Triple A. That's not an answer. And
Speaker 1: tonight Yamamoto's on the mound. So give me the Dodgers
Speaker 1: on the run line minus one and a half at
Speaker 1: minus one oh five against San France, my favorite bet
Speaker 1: of the day. Also, I love Schotta Inmanaga and the
Speaker 1: Cubs on the money line plus one twenty six to
Speaker 1: play upset to the Braves. The Braves right now, believe
Speaker 1: it or not, struggling offensively. Austin Riley also hurt right now.
Speaker 1: So you're talking about a Braves team that is second
Speaker 1: worst in the league and run scored in the last
Speaker 1: two weeks. That's not the Braves that we know and
Speaker 1: love in air quotes. But I will say this Imanaga
Speaker 1: again until otherwise, I'm just gonna keep rolling him. You're
Speaker 1: gonna be plus money. I'm gonna take it plus one
Speaker 1: twenty six. Yes, please not to mention. We got Cody
Speaker 1: Bellinger back last week for the Cubs, so things moving
Speaker 1: in the right direction for them. I also on the
Speaker 1: money line at minus one sixteen. I like the Boston
Speaker 1: Red Sox against the Rays today, Cutter Crawford on the mound,
Speaker 1: good spot for him. But going back to those Dodgers,
Speaker 1: the parlay of the day, same game parlay Dodgers on
Speaker 1: that minus one and a half run line plus the
Speaker 1: Yamamoto strikeouts over six and a half get you plus
Speaker 1: two seventy seven. So that is my same game parlay
Speaker 1: of the day. Welsh, what do you have for the people?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: I am gonna be playing some first fives today and
Speaker 3: we're going overs. I love to play unders, but not
Speaker 3: a lot of good value there. So we are gonna
Speaker 3: take the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres first five
Speaker 3: at four and a half.
Speaker 2: We're going over.
Speaker 3: That one is actually almost even money right now. Reny
Speaker 3: of Alaska's have been pretty good. Vaska has been pretty good,
Speaker 3: but I think they're going up against Dacota Hudson a
Speaker 3: lot of potential run Sannego Padres in think top eight
Speaker 3: and scoring. Colorado hasn't been there, but it's not that
Speaker 3: bad of a matchup. So I'm gonna go over for
Speaker 3: four and a half runs through the first five at
Speaker 3: almost even money minus one oh five. Next up, going
Speaker 3: against the A's in Houston. I actually like this one
Speaker 3: a little bit more. You got Arraghetti and Stripling, who's
Speaker 3: been first five total runs over four and a half.
Speaker 3: It's a little bit more juiced up. You can get
Speaker 3: it minus one twenty over at bet three six five,
Speaker 3: and then Shotto Emanaga might just be a straight K
Speaker 3: prop I play, but I'm juicing them down a little
Speaker 3: bit and I'm doing my five K prop. It's Shoto
Speaker 3: e Mianaga and Yamamoto both at five strikeouts or more.
Speaker 3: That gets you minus oneh eight right around even money
Speaker 3: for both the hit five strikeouts.
Speaker 2: And I love parlaying those two.
Speaker 3: So I might play Minaga solo, but I'm gonna put
Speaker 3: these two together because if you do play Minaga, you're
Speaker 3: gonna have to probably do it around six and a
Speaker 3: half and that gets a little bit higher. So Yamamoto
Speaker 3: soto five k almost even money. I put a little
Speaker 3: bit more on that one.
Speaker 1: Those my plays, that's right, Those are the best bets
Speaker 1: of the day with Joey p and the Welsh. Make
Speaker 1: sure you download the betting pros app Start betting smarter,
Speaker 1: not harder everybody and have fun and be responsible. Betting
Speaker 1: at bet three six five with the promo code leading off, Welsh,
Speaker 1: It's time to look at the home run board over
Speaker 1: the weekend and see what has changed.
Speaker 2: Nothing.
Speaker 1: Nothing for me, Nothing but pas He's still really good
Speaker 1: up to seventeen, starting to separate from the pack a
Speaker 1: little bit. So Bryce Propper gave me nothing, nothing from
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, so Welsh. Instead, what I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: do is do a little bit to homework here. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with a Baltimore oriole who has a sixteen
Speaker 1: hundred ops against Jose Burrios. It's Addley Rutchman. So give
Speaker 1: me Adlie Ruschmand today trolling the Burrios. Who are you
Speaker 1: going for your home run call? Today?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get back to my boy you mentioned him
Speaker 3: a little bit earlier, featured in the cycle artwork. Also
Speaker 3: going to be featured on my video coming up here shortly.
Speaker 3: O'Neil Cruz here he is my pick for the boy.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, that's right, well, Cheezmo, that that's my boy.
Speaker 2: That's a well fan one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Let me partner is oozing well, cheese mot in this picture.
Speaker 2: He does have some cheese. Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 3: I like that termed out and I don't like oozing,
Speaker 3: but that's gonna be my home run call of the day.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean oozing chocolate sounds good, or zingla.
Speaker 2: Oozing anything is a great name something.
