Somebody got 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:20.799 a haircut, and it's all of you, the Peanuts and 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.040 the cracker Jacks, and we're here to talk baseball for 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.680 the next though. I don't know thirty minutes or so. 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.960 Great show coming up for you today, your dynasty folks, 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.479 or even to redraft folks in deeper leagues. Welsh has 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.760 a phenomenal segment coming up today based on an article 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.320 he's got up on Fantasypros dot com looking at some 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:41.400 of those minor league stashes, giving a little minor league report, 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:43.440 which is great. We're right out of the gate with 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.599 some fun stuff there. Tough day in betting. We will 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.560 take our l's. It's been nothing but rainbows and sunshine 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:53.320 in that market for a while, but unfortunately yesterday was 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.040 doom and gloom. But that's okay. We get back on 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.280 the horse today, short slate, but Welsh, the hair looks 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.000 really good today. I gotta ask somebody who hasn't had 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:05.319 a haircut in eighteen years now, what what does a 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.040 haircut cost? I don't even know. 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.200 Well, I'm going to disappoint and it might be obvious 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.839 with really how my hair ins up being. I haven't 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:16.800 gone to a barber in like fifteen plus years. It's 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.160 all done at the house and just be boo bee 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.840 boo beeps, nothing special or anything like that. If I did, 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.240 maybe i'd get like, like, you know, you know what 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:27.840 everybody's doing, like the like the lines through it or 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.240 something like that, or maybe the Fantasy Pro's logo, get 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.600 like just cut right into the side of my hair. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:33.959 That would be cool. I have no idea. 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:38.080 I assume it's a million dollars. Everything is a million 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.040 dollars now. I'm an old person. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:40.360 Everything. 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.679 I'm like, I remember when this was like twenty dollars. 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.400 It's eighty dollars now. So yeah, Michael in there said 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:46.479 fifty dollars with tip. 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:47.240 I remember it was. 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.840 Like fifteen dollars a great collar. It was like fifteen 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:51.760 bucks when I was getting haircuts. 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.400 Fifty dollars to get your hair I remember twenty five 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.160 or something like that. That's kind of the last time 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.360 I got the inflation's a bitch, I guess I don't know, 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.760 go cards once to know you got floby at home? 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:02.440 Floby See, I was gonna. 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:03.840 Say, I Bet Walsh doesn't even know what a floby 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.760 is now. A floby was a hair cutting device created 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.160 in the early nineties where you could be at home 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:11.680 and self cut your hair. It was almost like a 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.440 vacuum for your hair and it would and it would 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:20.280 cut as it certainly does suck, that's for sure. And 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.600 there you go Mike Mayers saying fifty dollars with tip. 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:26.640 So there you go. So Mike Mayer knows because he's 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.000 got the fresh cut every sing. So you know what 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:28.520 is weird? 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.000 Though, it's so fun interesting you're saying this, like I 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:36.079 see more barbers than I see like supercuts or whatever. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.280 Like it's trendier to have like barber places than it 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:40.360 is having those chains. 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:41.640 Maybe I will go do do one. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.840 Let's do it. Let's do a social behind the scenes video. Joe, 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.000 you go do one too. What could they do for you? 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:48.560 Maybe trim up the beard or. 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.640 I don't know. Well, when Manscape used to be our 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.200 I don't want to watch that one a different show. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.359 But our sponsor now is bet three six five Bet 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.280 five bucks.

They do great work 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.680 over there. And speaking of great work, oh man, I'm 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.720 doing great work busting people out of slumps. Where are 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:17.120 we gonna start, mister Alvarez? That's right, four for five, 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.880 not one, but two homers. It's a pretty good day. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.560 I mean I might even just show the leaderboard right now. 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:24.920 Is it too soon to do it? 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:25.160 Oh? 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.800 Wait, there it is. Oh there's the leaderboard. Look at me. 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.919 They'll get me all the way up at five, tied 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:33.880 for third after just two days. Well, you're like on 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:38.360 a cliff there. You're literally hanging on there, Ethan. Did 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.280 you a solid just keeping you on the graphic? In 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.160 my opinion, that's what happened there. But we'll get to 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.800 that later. But I changed this too because of your call. 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.240 I had yelich and then I yeah, at the last minute, 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.880 I was like, you know what I'm feeling, Alice is today. 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.520 Also twice that and I don't get you don't get 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.680 to like claim everybody or anything like that. But twice, 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.520 I promise you all my life. Harper, I was like, 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.000 I was gonna pick Harper, and I went away, for 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.400 I was picking Alvarez. He was the BVP players today, 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.960 and I went away from it like a big stupid idiot. 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.960 Not It is one thing that you are getting these 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.200 home run calls and I know exactly what we're in for. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:16.359 But then also that I pivoted pivot away. It's hurting. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:17.480 It's hurting, Joey. 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.160 Here we go. We're at nineteen thousand subscribers here, by 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.159 the way, and Renegade says, when we get to twenty, 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:23.880 well should shave his head, And I'm all for that. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.800 That's how your what? Well, your wife doesn't like your beer. 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:27.920 She likes a clean shaven. 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.919 So why like, we're gonna fight this for quite some 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.000 time because I don't think I don't think I can. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.800 I don't think I'm gonna look good in a bald head, 0:04:37.839 --> 0:04:38.440 so trust me. 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.640 All right, Well we shall see. Well your noveras looked 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:45.880 good yesterday, that's for sure. Christian Xavier. Five shutout innings there, 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.800 three strikeouts and that wins. So good day for Houston. 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.280 Gooday for Choyotani two for four with a solo homer 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.360 or Glass now strikeout seven. Good start there, they get 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.840 a w over the Giants. Kyle Harrison gave up four 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.479 runs in that start Aaron Judge to run homer, So 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.240 there you go. I was gonna pick him today. Hey, 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.040 you know if the Yankees were playing to bust him 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.000 out of this lump. But it already happened yesterday, so 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:04.400 that's okay. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:06.560 And you see Tory Levello two with the Diamondbacks, he 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.599 said he was kicking they were kicking themselves for not 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.480 walking Aaron Judge, and that it was a weird contest 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.200 if you watch it with the Diamondbacks, because it was 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.880 like Yankees got up and Diamondbacks got back, and it 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.800 was there's a lot of oddities were going on. And 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.719 the Diamondbacks ended that game. I don't know if you 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.200 saw this. They had no more hitters on the bench, 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.840 and they had to put out Scott McGuff, the relief pitcher, 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:31.200 as their final out. They had nobody with I think 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.159 two men on, and Scott McGuff was on to try 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.760 to potentially win the game, and of course he actually 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.000 got a bad called strike three and that ended the game. 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:40.839 Yankees win. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.680 Yankees win. The Yankees win. If you listen to us 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.880 in the offseason, some of our favorite starting pitcher values 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:52.159 had good nights. Frankie Montoss another good start, five and 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.880 two thirds for him. That's two now for Frankie Montos 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:56.960 if you keeping score at home, good stars for him. 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.760 Especially against the Phillies too. That's a much tougher lineup 0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:01.320 than the first what he faced. So everyone was like, ah, 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.440 let's see when he faces a tougher lineup. Well he did, 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.840 and he was great. Aaron Savali eight strikeouts, one run, 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.680 six innings against the Rangers. Again, no slouch lineup there. 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.520 And Joe Musgrove six innings, one run, ball, strike out seven. 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.880 So forget that little hiccups start. Everything's fine. We're back 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:16.680 on trap. You gotta give these guys a little bit 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.680 more time of this Korea series, back and forth, all 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.120 the weird travel, all that stuff. Jordan Walker, we gotta 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:22.960 figure out. We're gonna give some slack to him. He 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.760 was looking for a pinch hitter after grounding into a 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.120 double play earlier. Twenty two played appearances. So far, he's 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:33.560 four for nineteen. Any panic button, it's early on Jordan Walker. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.800 I mean he's not in the like top five. If 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.359 I were to make a board, that might be a 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.960 fun article or something to do. You're actual like who 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.599 is the panic board list? He's not at the tippy top, 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.520 But I mean I get it. But hard hit numbers 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.120 are about the same as last year. He's striking out 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:49.880 a little bit more. He's still hitting the ball hard. 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.760 He's just you know, five six games, whatever it is. 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.040 He's just not locked in anything. He's not hitting fastballs. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.000 That's gonna be something to watch, and that's probably his 0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.520 biggest issue. Maybe he's compensating for the second d stuff. 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.960 But he is hitting one fifty four against fastballs right now, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.839 which he's seeing fifty two percent of the time. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.560 He hit two ninety one against. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.360 Fastballs last year, So you know, might just be compensating 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.920 to hit like off speed stuff or just is not 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:16.240 in a rhythm. My panic level is like two at best. 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.760 You know, one is almost a nothing burger, maybe a 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.440 two big just because also the whole offseason we were like, oh, 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.120 he's getting twenty pounds muscle and he's getting bigger and 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.960 blah blah blah, and like nothing's happening. Let's see, let's 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.080 talk in like two weeks on Jordan Walker. But he's 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:32.800 not in the top five of my worry meter? 0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:34.200 Is he a by low? 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:37.400 Maybe it depends how low. Like you see, I just 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.440 don't think he's a guy. I think everybody's indifferent about him. 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.640 Anyone who's selling isn't trying to get out of the 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.160 Jordan Walker business. So you can't get him for eighty 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.119 cents on the dollar, and no one wants to sell 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.280 him for eighty you know what I'm saying, Like, you're 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:56.160 just not gonna find a right path for trade right now. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.640 I just I think he's got to pick one side 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.720 another week and he kind of sucky. Yeah, maybe I'll 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.560 try to buy because then I think the cost could 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.160 be pretty low. But I just don't think it's low 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:05.800 enough right now. 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.480 Let's take a quick break in the action to tell 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.480 you about Rival Fantasy.

What do you make out 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.480 of this is a flip on the radar or any 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:34.080 concern here. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.800 Yeah, I'm a little bit worried because I have every 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.920 single share of George Kirby that ever existed in the world. 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.480 But I do think I'm gonna like minimalize my worry 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.320 with him. So first starting, and this is like a 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.320 little bit of logic I'm taking with him, because George 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:49.760 Kirby's a little bit of heead case. I'm a little 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.000 bit of a head case. So I can kind of 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.840 like get into that same space with him. 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:53.840 First start. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.000 First at bat walk he gets two walks I think 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.160 in the first inning, which by the way, I was like, oh, 0:09:59.200 --> 0:09:59.800 it's a great bet. 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:00.720 Or one walk. 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.959 He gets super like arnery about walks and stuff like that. 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.319 So what happened in this last start because he was 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:08.400 kind of all around the place. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.520 He was hitting the zone too much. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.240 His fastball was in the zone like ten percent more 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.240 of the time, his sinker was like almost fifteen percent 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.160 in the zone more. Because he doesn't want to walk, guys, 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:23.640 and what happened? Bam, guys are he's getting way too 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:28.240 much contact, even though it was actually not great contact. 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.280 It was just contact that was finding the spots all 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.280 over the board. So Kirby will do that. He just 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.439 didn't have that big whiff stuff. He was pitching way 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.320 too timid, and then because he was going longer in innings, 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.520 those velos were starting to come down. Is he not 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:48.640 gonna be great? It's a possibility, but I'm gonna take 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.079 a bi lo opportunity off of this. This is I 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.719 don't think you can take every single picture, and I 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.520 guess every single can't. I can't be like Web and 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.160 Gallon and Kirby. Someone's probably gonna fail. But I do 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:57.960 believe in Kirby. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.040 Well let's frame it this way. Yeah, eb or Kirby. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.560 Who would you rather buy low on the most Kirby? 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:04.640 Who is the better target? 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:05.600 Kirby? Yeah? 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:07.880 Yeah, I mean I'm so high. I'm still so high 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.360 on Kirby. I think the stuff is there. I think 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.319 uniquely the two starts made him go in bad directions 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.680 and he was just way two in the zone, so 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.400 he wasn't walking guys where he WoT guys in the 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.559 first start and then you get a contact team, just 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.760 absolutely take advantage of him. Maybe we are gonna panic, 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.960 and maybe I'm gonna be eating my words all season 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.480 long and Kirby's gonna stink. But I will take a 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.920 bye if someone is This is a guy that I 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:35.080 think someone absolutely can freak out after two starts and 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.960 a horrific one, I will put him on the bob. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.640 But I'm on the buye video next week. Test me. 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.400 There you go, he making the videos, test siding the channel. 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:46.120 Watch the video. The waiver videos coming out later today. Also, 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.760 Jackson Churio first major league home run, Congrats, buddy, you 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.240 did it? Why at Langford? Oh? For four pair of strikeouts? 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.120 I feel like this was like you could just lock 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.160 this up. This guy was so locked in, he was 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.880 so red hot in spring. This is just the nature 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.920 of baseball. If people overpaid on Whitet Langford and are 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:05.040 freaking out, this is a great time to start poking 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.200 around to see if wyat Langford is available in your league. 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:11.600 Because I am not concerned about whyat Langford. This is 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.640 literally my biggest fear of Langford for the overpays. Why 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.200 I didn't overpay because I knew this gut feeling where 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.200 nobody's that hot for that long. Everybody cools off season started. 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.440 Of course there's a cool off period and here we go, 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:25.920 like a little bit extra pressure, you know at the 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.400 big league level, all that nonsense that happens. This is 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.280 like you gonna set your watch to this. So I'm 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.400 fine about this. I have no panic in there. I 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:35.680 know some people are, especially the late overpayers, the ones 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.320 that drafted late, because a lot of people did. What 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:38.920 are your thoughts on Langford start? Yeah? 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:39.840 I mean I don't know. 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:43.200 People treat their players sometimes like we've been going for 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.920 a month and it's like, well, he was really great 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.720 in the beginning and then he tailed up. It's like 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.280 six games. It's a six games. He was good for 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.040 like four and then not good for two. I don't know, man, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.400 I think that's pretty crazy. There's gonna be ups and downs. 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.880 I'm not worry you know what I worry about. Here's 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:01.599 real worries. 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:02.600 I worry about. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:07.960 I worry about like v Low sustained decreases, so Gallon, 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:09.400 like Gallon, that's kind of a worry. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.600 But you know what I worry about, Ellie de la Cruz. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:12.920 When you have a forty. 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:16.240 Percent strikeout rate, you're not making contact, and that strikeout 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.720 rate carries over from year after year. Those are things 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.120 I worry about early on because how much better is 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:21.880 that going to get? 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:23.760 Has he? That guy hasn't. 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.840 Shown the ability to make those type of adjustments. I 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.320 worry about him. I don't worry about why at Langford 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.160 not getting a couple of hits. I don't even worry 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:35.320 that much about Evan Carter who's scoring a gajillion runs 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.960 with zero hits all the time, Like these guys are 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.280 going to maintain. I worry about really bad strikeout stuff 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.360 or really bad loss of stuff. And Ellie is a 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:46.720 guy worry about not Langford right now. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:49.000 Oh look, I'm phrasing Tampa like Savali had a good 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:53.120 start e Flyn yesterday, two days ago. I should say, 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:54.520 you know, these things are gonna happen. So it's a 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.680 tough ballpark, you know. All right, Let's get to some 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.080 of the fun things here going on. And obviously one 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.800 of the fun things we've got always his free stuff. 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.560 You like free stuff, Welsh, because I like free stuff. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.559 How about this the trophy Smack Championship Trophy two steps, 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.640 subscribe to the channel Boom comment on the video.

So 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.760 subscribe today to that. Some fun little stats and nuggets. 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.480 I know, y all like the nuggets. Brent Rooker, oh 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.880 for four to three strikeouts. He's now two for twenty, 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.200 so there you go. That's a fun start. Jaron Duran 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.000 four for four, four singles, hitting three ninety three so 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.000 far to start the year. Dan Nelson lament clean inning 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.680 for him two k's. So this is fun. This is 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:48.560 like the ghosts of you know, Fantasy Baseball NERD communities past, 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.360 like sleeper guys. Julio Teheran is gonna make two point 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.240 five million dollars with the Mets. But it's booty time today, 0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:01.080 Jose bouttel boy start here, Boo, it's booty time. I 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.440 can't wait for the booty time. Starts him very excited. 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.400 But it's actually against my guy too. Matt Manning, Matt Manning, 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.480 I bounce back. So this is a Joe versus Welsh matchup, 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.400 but doubleheader, doubleheader. 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.520 Also, speaking of the Tigers, Jason Foley seems to be 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:16.080 the guy now. The Walks were just killing Alex Lang. 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.920 So here we go the pivot Already, It's amazing how 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.440 many saves have been available on the board of the 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.920 first week that were undrafted saves. And I just don't 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.280 like every year this happens, and every year I shake 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.240 my head and I don't get why people chase safe. 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.760 But anyway, what do you think of fully? Confidence in 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.320 him keeping the job the entire season. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:36.280 I think it's a decent chance. It does seem like 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.400 they've got guys that they're willing to go to. But 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.000 his stuff that was like day one, and I have 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.040 one league where I've got I've got Alex Lang, but 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.760 I actually had Fully in a couple draft in holes 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.480 which ended up working out. But like, fully stuff looks incredible. 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.920 Hitting one oh one, you you throw for strikes and 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.720 you throw a fastball sing or whatever over one one 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.200 oh one against you know, a relief pitcher, and Alex Lang, 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:03.680 who consistently is just walking guys not putting out good stuff, 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.880 I think fully as every opportunity. Plus they've already shown 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:09.720 us by putting Lang in other spots. I think he 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.200 might have came in the six once come in like 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.360 this is fully, this is Foley's gig here. My only 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.880 argument still to your like why do people pay for 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.920 saves is you are just in the battle of fab 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:23.960 right now. If you play in a FAB based league, 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.480 or if you're in a waiver based league, you don't 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:27.840 even have the option for him. 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:31.000 Totally get it. But everything should be FAB at this point, 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.000 like let's let's grow up and let's be adults and 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.440 let's play with FAB. But again, I'd rather be spending 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.800 FAB chasing saves which I can grab in and I 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.160 can actually get a hold of and hold possibly all season, 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.080 then chasing offensive productivity. It's really hard, it's really difficult. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:47.480 And maybe you get a couple of pictures early on, 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.880 like Whitlock, Hicks, Crochet, some of these guys early on 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.120 the starting pitches, but we all know, you know, most 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.120 of those guys come late July are gonna be pumpkins. 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:57.800 Let's be honest. When they start getting at the one 0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:59.920 hundred and ten innings, hundred innings. That's just gonna be 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.320 it happens. Wonky was late to the party today, by 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.159 the way, so I know you were late. You missed 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:08.439 my gloating about the home run. If in case, just 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.560 in case, you know you didn't. You missed it. Here 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:14.159 it is boom, there's the board. Don't want you to 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.320 feel sad, Wonky for missing that, because it was good. 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.720 Times were good, Good times were had. Look, everybody who 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.639 has alvarezm leagues, I think is really happy with me 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.040 right now. That's what I'm thinking right now. All right, 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.720 let's continue on here with a news segment We've got 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.320 going on here again, this is something we're very excited about. 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:33.879 Thursday's usually a lighter slate, but this is the perfect 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:37.440 time to start digging deep here for a little prospecting 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.720 with the Welsh, all right, Welsh. So this is an 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:42.440 opportunity here to take a look at what's going down 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.320 on the farm and see some of the names maybe 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.679
