Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody in the Fantasy Rose MLB. This is
Speaker 1: Leading Off.
Speaker 2: Live, brought to you by Bet three six five Bet
Speaker 2: five bucks hit one hundred and fifty and bonus bets
Speaker 2: when you do when he used the promo code leading
Speaker 2: off at Bet three six five, it's me Joey p
Speaker 2: That of course is the Welsh and it's you, the
Speaker 2: Peanuts and the Crackerjacks here on the show, hanging out
Speaker 2: with us, talking a little baseball.
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to get to today. We got
Speaker 1: the injuries, we got the headlines, the ups, the downs,
Speaker 1: and so much more. And Welsh, how much does stick
Speaker 1: in your craw that Josh Neller hit a home run yesterday?
Speaker 1: Please tell me you switched your home run at the
Speaker 1: last minute.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that he did. And yeah, what did
Speaker 3: I say? I'm like, oh, Phil a Josh Naylor. But nope,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the stupid bet. I'm gonna do
Speaker 3: the no home run call. I'm you know what I'm
Speaker 3: really good at, not home runs. I'm the Louisa Rise
Speaker 3: of home run calls on the home run.
Speaker 1: Comcast, not the Spencer Turklesid anymore. Because he's got a
Speaker 1: couple of homers. All right, let's get into it. Let's
Speaker 1: start with something fun. Ronel Blanco was ejected yesterday.
Speaker 3: This is fun.
Speaker 1: Ya Oh, it's fun. It's fun because there's always an
Speaker 1: answer to certain questions. So he was ejected for a
Speaker 1: foreign substance. And if you're wondering how a thirty year
Speaker 1: old guy who was pitching in the Independent League all
Speaker 1: of a sudden is now dominating major league hitters, you know, like,
Speaker 1: how did this happen? What a wonderful story. Well, most
Speaker 1: of the time these wonderful stories. If you go look
Speaker 1: at the fairy tales of the Grim Brothers back in
Speaker 1: the day, they all have some darkness to them, and
Speaker 1: it feels like, I think, now we've got some answers.
Speaker 1: So Rene Blanco got caught and now I think a
Speaker 1: lot of his success this year makes a lot of
Speaker 1: sense to me. Welsh, with this news that you've gotten
Speaker 1: with Blanco, would you be trying to unload him after
Speaker 1: a very good start to the season based upon not
Speaker 1: only the ten game suspension he's gonna have, but also
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be when he comes back. Is he
Speaker 1: going to be back in the Eastern League in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, like it does a lot more questions
Speaker 1: that answers.
Speaker 3: Well, I think the big thing before being like it
Speaker 3: was all the foreign substance and we're done and everything
Speaker 3: like that is going to be what happens moving forward,
Speaker 3: because now he's going to have the target on his
Speaker 3: back as far as as far as like umpires, you know,
Speaker 3: paying attention and looking in this spot like he's not
Speaker 3: going to be able to do or hide this. If
Speaker 3: this has been a thing moving forward. I've never really
Speaker 3: been the biggest runout blanco guy. The positive to what
Speaker 3: you're saying, as you can get out now, and that
Speaker 3: would probably be the thing to do, you know, before
Speaker 3: anything crazy happens. And this isn't like you know this happened.
Speaker 3: He got blown up, blah blah blah. It's like, no,
Speaker 3: he got thrown out. But you can see, interestingly enough,
Speaker 3: there were some downs overall. He was almost a full
Speaker 3: mile power down on his slider, almost a full mile
Speaker 3: plower down on his fastball. The current everything was just
Speaker 3: kind of down in general. And yeah, I would I
Speaker 3: would be out. I think he's the type of guy
Speaker 3: that I wouldn't trust. I didn't trust long term and
Speaker 3: now that you're going to take away substance which you
Speaker 3: know clearly was helping as far as grip. This is
Speaker 3: also a primary slider guy, so you know, even having
Speaker 3: more of that grip has been as more important than
Speaker 3: ever and that's something hit a forty percent with rate
Speaker 3: on his slider in this last game, So you know,
Speaker 3: if he's gonna have a worse feel for the slider,
Speaker 3: he's gonna be in for a bad time, in for
Speaker 3: a bad time.
Speaker 1: Bad times. If you pizza when you're French fry, you're
Speaker 1: gonna have a bad time. Ye have a bad time,
Speaker 1: You have a bad time. Do you remember after the
Speaker 1: no hitter, I was like, I don't think I want
Speaker 1: to add him?
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 1: Well? Should we say? You were like no, I don't
Speaker 1: think I do either, which is kind of bananas when
Speaker 1: you think about it, because it was obviously opportunity that
Speaker 1: asked a rotation with all the injuries, with Furlander and
Speaker 1: Valdez and everybody being out, but neither of us were
Speaker 1: really impressed, and then all of a sudden it just
Speaker 1: kept going and we said, all right, well we have
Speaker 1: to act, we asked at some point and say, yeah,
Speaker 1: add Blanco while you can. But you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it's all because of the foreign substances. But I'm
Speaker 1: not You're not not saying it either. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it either. I want to talk about some questions here
Speaker 1: from the chat because somebody right here Radiant had a question.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I just talked about this guy in
Speaker 1: the social video I just recorded. He's gonna be on
Speaker 1: the Waiver Wire video this week too. If Fantasy Gros MLB,
Speaker 1: make sure you subscribe to the channel. Should I drop
Speaker 1: Jake Berger for Reese Olsen? Now? Olsen has been winless
Speaker 1: to start the year, but he's got a whip under
Speaker 1: one an ERA of two oh nine, more than a
Speaker 1: two and a half to one strikeout walk ratio. Now
Speaker 1: historically speaking in the in the minor leagues, high ERA,
Speaker 1: high strikeout rate, high walk rate, you know, kind of
Speaker 1: feeling his way out. This version of Reese Olsen we've
Speaker 1: gotten over the first eight games of the season has
Speaker 1: been really good. I think I'm okay with this move. Welsh,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Olsen? And what do you
Speaker 1: think about this move here dropping Burger for him? If
Speaker 1: indeed you need starting pitching.
Speaker 3: If you really needed starting pitching. I think you could
Speaker 3: do it. I don't want to drop Jake Berger, you know,
Speaker 3: because he's just been hurt. I think everybody forgets about
Speaker 3: you know. Oh yeah, Jake Berger, high barrel guy, huge
Speaker 3: home run, you know, number four type blast rate.
Speaker 1: The blast rate was enormous through.
Speaker 3: The It's short, it's long, and it's big on the
Speaker 3: last rate. I don't want to give up on Jake
Speaker 3: Berger because I think that's one of those guys, you know,
Speaker 3: getting back in your lineup basade. But back to your
Speaker 3: point with Reesulson, he added the change up in as
Speaker 3: a bigger portion of his arsenal this year. So last
Speaker 3: year he was like primary slider and then it was
Speaker 3: fastball and then a little mix. This year he's been
Speaker 3: a three steady fastball, slider and change up and that
Speaker 3: change up it's a forty eight percent with rate. It's
Speaker 3: been dominant, but his fastball is doing nothing. So you
Speaker 3: go back to like the success he's kind of given
Speaker 3: up on having being a big, massive strikeout guy. That's
Speaker 3: actually lower than last year, but it is. Yeah, he
Speaker 3: already to expected dra are both great right now. He's
Speaker 3: not allowing these guys to barrel up, they're not getting
Speaker 3: really good contact, and he's got three solid pitches again,
Speaker 3: the slider and the change up. Those are the ones
Speaker 3: that are getting the whiffs. There's nothing on the fastball,
Speaker 3: and that's actually not a bad combo. So I do
Speaker 3: think Ries Soulson has staying power. You were astute to
Speaker 3: put him on the waiver wire if you're desperate. Again,
Speaker 3: I think, like, we're not gonna cry about losing Jake Berger,
Speaker 3: but I don't know there's a chance you could.
Speaker 1: Know what Jake Berger's walking into. Also, like I don't
Speaker 1: know how long he's in for that stay in Miami either.
Speaker 3: Well even better, imagine if you know he were to
Speaker 3: be traded.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he still got June in July to get
Speaker 1: through and whatever's left to May when Burger returned. Like
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like it could be a long haul
Speaker 1: there for mister Burger, all right. Besides Ron now Blanco,
Speaker 1: some good things Showeyo Tani three for five with a homer,
Speaker 1: But of course also Gavin Stone, another guy that we
Speaker 1: were talking about, kind of the unsung hero. I feel
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers rotation this year six innings for him.
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers beat the crap out of the Giants
Speaker 1: today yesterday. Pardon me, Jack Lighter speaking of getting the
Speaker 1: crap beat out.
Speaker 3: Of crap beating out you geez.
Speaker 1: Six earned runs. You know, I'm mad at myself because
Speaker 1: I should have just been targeting it's instead of the over.
Speaker 3: I should have also.
Speaker 1: Been targeting the so it got the over that worked.
Speaker 1: But in the game yesterday, I should have been going
Speaker 1: for the earned run properly.
Speaker 3: Remember that's what I did. Team total runs through the
Speaker 3: first five innings for the Guardians, which was two and
Speaker 3: a half, and he had they had six. They doubled it.
Speaker 3: We doubled the number in the second.
Speaker 1: In I'm sad to see Jack Lighter go like, that's
Speaker 1: that's all because I can feel like he's money in
Speaker 1: the bank for me because I just bet against him
Speaker 1: whenever he's out there. But can we put the NEPO
Speaker 1: baby to sleep? Can we do this? Let's put the
Speaker 1: you and your nepo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just not it's not the it's one of
Speaker 3: the best college pitchers we've seen in like the last
Speaker 3: ten years. Okay, but you've thrown out the NEPO baby.
Speaker 3: You're just like he's only here because he's the lighter son.
Speaker 3: That's not true. He was an absolutely insane His.
Speaker 1: Name was Jack Louder. Would we be so excited about him? Yes?
Speaker 3: Might be brothers with read Louder and he's awesome, he's
Speaker 3: amazing with the rest.
Speaker 1: His name is Jack Louder. Would we be so excited,
Speaker 1: Yes we would.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what a stupid name would be.
Speaker 1: But ever since the Jackets Green Jacket who you could
Speaker 1: be excited about him as a college pitcher, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but there's been hardly anything to get excited about him
Speaker 1: in the minor league. No, hardly anything. And that's the thing.
Speaker 1: It's like, he's up here now. Why because he had
Speaker 1: a couple of good starts that spring and some moments
Speaker 1: a triple A and now all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: Rangers like, okay, it's all good. Now we're gonna bring
Speaker 1: him up here. It's been horrible.
Speaker 3: Oh it's done. I mean, yeah, we're moving into different
Speaker 3: areas here. I'm picking on you about the NEPO baby.
Speaker 3: So he's not good. And that's on the unfortunate side
Speaker 3: of this. They made changes with him that they thought
Speaker 3: were gonna work. They saw it. They brought him to
Speaker 3: the majors because that was that. Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3: They didn't have a lot of depth in the minor leagues.
Speaker 3: This guy Jose Corneill, who probably could have been one
Speaker 3: of them, he's hurt. He's hanging out here in Arizona.
Speaker 3: So hey, Lighter, get a chance. Bang bang, boom blasted.
Speaker 3: There's your blast rate. Every damn game. He's got a
Speaker 3: sixteen ERA with a nine expected ERA, a seventeen percent
Speaker 3: barrel percentage against. That's bonkers. That's Jake Berger every single hitter,
Speaker 3: every single game against. That's Brent Rooker against him every
Speaker 3: single game right now. Yeah, he's not good. So the
Speaker 3: change probably going to be relief. Yeah, so any of
Speaker 3: that like where I'm like, oh, I gotta like him
Speaker 3: and stuff. That's done. He's not going to be a starter.
Speaker 3: It's gonna have to go to relief for spots starting.
Speaker 3: I'm sad because I really like Jack Glider, but yeah,
Speaker 3: come also sad of he's gonna go away because it
Speaker 3: was a great bet against move and that's what I
Speaker 3: did yesterday.
Speaker 1: And I think we get the kazoo salute to Jack
Speaker 1: Lighter's career. I think it's time. It's a little Titanic,
Speaker 1: because that's that's kind of a reminiscent of the starts
Speaker 1: of Jack Glider. So there you go. I haven't done
Speaker 1: the kazoo in a while on the show.
Speaker 3: I haven't to tell you were happy about it.
Speaker 1: Oh, I was so happy. I was like, this is
Speaker 1: a kazoo moment. I could feel at my bones and
Speaker 1: we got it. Folks. By the way, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the Peanuts and Cracker Tacks talking amongst themselves in the
Speaker 1: chat as they are one to do. And Angelo, apparently
Speaker 1: he's retired. This is how he's decided to spend his
Speaker 1: retirement is watching us every day. And I appreciate that, Angelo,
Speaker 1: I really do. I mean, that's pretty good. But I
Speaker 1: was retired, this is probably that's probably what I would do.
Speaker 1: I was like, what's my favorite show. I'm gonna watch
Speaker 1: it every day? Oh okay, thing.
Speaker 3: If I was retired, I would not be looking at
Speaker 3: Joe every single day. I would probably be a lie.
Speaker 1: That is a lie. You would love to be hanging
Speaker 1: out with me every sing.
Speaker 3: If you want to come out to the backfields with
Speaker 3: me and you want to you know, watch you know these.
Speaker 1: Eight everything's gotta be in the backfield.
Speaker 3: Come on down, Come on down to Welsh's backfield. We
Speaker 3: go watch baseball. Johnny Cquato, I said Johnnyquato the other day.
Speaker 1: That's how I want to spend out my my retirement
Speaker 1: watching Johnny Quato, forty pounds overweight, trying to throw eighty
Speaker 1: two miles an hour. Chris Paddock. What happened to Chris Paddock?
Speaker 1: Ten strikeouts now, twelve hits, five earned, No bueno was
Speaker 1: the Yankees? So okay, fine? Andrew Vaughan a pair of dingers,
Speaker 1: so that was good. Eric Fetti back on track two
Speaker 1: six strikeouts over seven, shutout things again. And that's and
Speaker 1: Chris Sale. How important has this Chris Sale been for
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves. They've struggled offensively. Roll A Cooney has
Speaker 1: an OPS under seven hundred right now. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Albie's had an injury, miss time, Olsen and Riley beat
Speaker 1: stars for the season, Strider hurt. And then there's the
Speaker 1: beacon of hope, Chris Sale. I mean nine strikeouts for him.
Speaker 1: This has been a tremendous, tremendous acquisition for the Braves.
Speaker 1: In the offseason. I got a hand. I was skeptical,
Speaker 1: but Sales been tremendous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, this is why I brought him up
Speaker 3: in that Paul Skeins conversation when you know the world
Speaker 3: was a buzz about Paul Skeens and what can we
Speaker 3: get and what can we trade? And it was like,
Speaker 3: all right, you know, there's some levels where it's like
Speaker 3: who would you rather? Blah blah blah, but like Chris
Speaker 3: Sale was probably that line. But Chris Sale has been
Speaker 3: a nominal. As you mentioned, he has a two five
Speaker 3: four ERA and expected two five to nine ERA, which
Speaker 3: is so dumb. He's not only over thirty percent K percentage,
Speaker 3: but he's giving up some of the least hard hit
Speaker 3: balls in baseball twenty eight point seven percent hard hit rate,
Speaker 3: which is like top seven percentile right now, forty percent
Speaker 3: rate on his slider that's up from last year, is
Speaker 3: forcing fastball with rate up from last year. He has
Speaker 3: been awesome. He's been consistent, and just imagine when that
Speaker 3: offense is kind of healthy and getting to go, getting
Speaker 3: going again. As long as he is still the same guy,
Speaker 3: don't be surprised when Chris Sale, I mean, I don't
Speaker 3: even know if I want to say, but like top
Speaker 3: ten sp top fifteen, he's gonna be in that he
Speaker 3: has a legit shot if he stays healthy. That's the key.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be Mike Troudish with this whole situation.
Speaker 3: It's awesome and then gets hurt every year.
Speaker 1: There's there's moves that seem like a kind of big
Speaker 1: risk reward moves. I mean, the stats on sale right now, unbelievable,
Speaker 1: sixty eight walks, eighty point eight nine whip like this
Speaker 1: is this is say young caliber crap we're talking about here,
Speaker 1: and they don't make me want to move off.
Speaker 3: That's the other thing. Like obviously there are like performances
Speaker 3: of players and you look at and you're just like,
Speaker 3: like I look at Flair. Every time I look at Flairty,
Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, even you know Imon, a guy I
Speaker 3: keep can't get over stuff sale. But my blind spot,
Speaker 3: everybody knows what's my biggest blind spot.
Speaker 1: Is all handsome pictures like.
Speaker 3: With a great blast rate. Those are my big blind spot.
Speaker 3: But it's injury prone players. Injury prone players, Like if
Speaker 3: they're good, I just stop thinking about the injury stuff.
Speaker 3: So I'm not that's not in my brain at all.
Speaker 3: With Chris sal Is dominant, like you know balls getting
Speaker 3: hit off of him. Oh no, Joe, I don't know
Speaker 3: if Joe froze, er eye froze, but ball's getting hot
Speaker 3: hit off of you. It's pretty awful. Oh no, I
Speaker 3: need to know am Ie frozen or is Joe frozen?
Speaker 3: Because I'll keep going. We'll stop talking about the balls
Speaker 3: and the ball rate. Of course, Joe FROs alright, look
Speaker 3: at Joe's judging faces freeze. I'm gonna keep moving the here,
Speaker 3: I'll keep it along. I just wasn't sure it can
Speaker 3: never screenshot that. We're talking about balls getting frozen, and
Speaker 3: then Joe gets frozen on Chris. So that's a fun one,
Speaker 3: all right, Joey, you'll be back and unfrozen in a minute.
Speaker 3: As he's sitting here hanging with me. But let's go
Speaker 3: to the just for fun. Oh no, I'm alone here,
Speaker 3: so here we're gonna do this. I'm gonna hang over here.
Speaker 3: You can see my entire setup as Joe we wait
Speaker 3: for Joe to come back. Just for fun, Logan Gilbert.
Speaker 3: He lost to the Royals after allowing three runs six
Speaker 3: and two thirds of an inning, but he was kind
Speaker 3: of back to his business, which was the important thing.
Speaker 3: Logan Gilbert was on my trade video. He was the
Speaker 3: guy after the eight earned runs that I wanted to get.
Speaker 3: This is amazing here by the way, this setup, so
Speaker 3: this is Joe, so Welsh, what do you think about
Speaker 3: Logan Gilbert and that performance? Are you a cringing? Are
Speaker 3: you excited? Tell me, well, Joe, let's talk about Logan
Speaker 3: Gilbert in this. Let me pull it up here because
Speaker 3: that nine earned runs I think it was from the
Speaker 3: other day. That was the thing that I was rebuying
Speaker 3: back in on his stuff and Logan Gilbert ate teams
Speaker 3: swinging whiffs in the last start with thirty five percent
Speaker 3: swinging with rate, eight whiffs on the fastball. He had
Speaker 3: a whiff on every single pitch that he threw in
Speaker 3: the matchup and three of the five over forty percent
Speaker 3: with rate. Ironically the called strike and with the CSW
Speaker 3: percentage was kind of low, so it was really like
Speaker 3: the whiffs that were making the things happen that this
Speaker 3: is what I was talking about. This is back, Joe.
Speaker 3: Do you agree, Oh Welsh, you were just really dumb
Speaker 3: about Logan Gilbert and he's back, And I agree, Joe,
Speaker 3: I was dumb, But your buying opportunity was just over there,
Speaker 3: and now hopefully you guys took advantage of it, because
Speaker 3: I'm very excited about Logan Gilbert coming back here. So
Speaker 3: let's see what happened to Joe. Joe. Oh no, he
Speaker 3: just I don't know. He hopefully comes back here. Alex
Speaker 3: Bragman two for four with a home run, and Tuesday
Speaker 3: over the A's he's starting to pick it back up.
Speaker 3: Josh Naylor one for three with a three run homer.
Speaker 3: Kicking myself, kicking myself for not having him here in
Speaker 3: the home run contest because I would be on the
Speaker 3: board one that you haven't seen. Guess who is on
Speaker 3: the board, Hey, yo, guess who is on the board?
Speaker 3: Welsh Who Joe Me? Of course I am, and I
Speaker 3: could have been on here if puppet Joe. If you
Speaker 3: don't know from the podcast, I'm doing a puppet version
Speaker 3: of Joe over here on the things. That's what this
Speaker 3: voice is gonna be. Hey, yo, I don't want to
Speaker 3: get like super Italian to get canceled, so we'll just
Speaker 3: do this voice. But I wish I had Josh Naylor.
Speaker 3: I didn't because I'm stupid. Aj puck Picked pitched a
Speaker 3: scoreless inning in the tenth during his first save of
Speaker 3: the year. He's in full relief. And when the team
Speaker 3: most likely decides to end up getting rid of Tanner,
Speaker 3: Scott probably gonna be an. Maybe they get rid of
Speaker 3: aj Pup, but he would be a He would probably
Speaker 3: be the guy moving forward. So, by the way, Joe
Speaker 3: was blaming it on stream, yard, let me just text
Speaker 3: him back. This is the other side of the show
Speaker 3: that you get to get. Let's see. Oh he's restarting,
Speaker 3: all right, Joe'll be back in a minute. Otherwise we'll
Speaker 3: get We're gonna get puppet Joe. I'm gonna let puppet
Speaker 3: Joe do a few things here, all right, Welsh, let's heyo,
Speaker 3: this is how he starts everything. Someone make me a puppet, please,
Speaker 3: he go. Let's go to the rookie lookie, and let's
Speaker 3: talk about the top prospect in baseball. I've been saying
Speaker 3: it all along, me, I've been saying it. Heyo, Junior
Speaker 3: Camonaro's coming, Welsh, what exciting thing happened yesterday? Well, Joe,
Speaker 3: the exciting thing that happened yesterday was Junior Cameronaro played
Speaker 3: second base. So for all of you and your rookie lookies,
Speaker 3: that is a big key sign once they finally started
Speaker 3: moving him around and seeing if they can get some
Speaker 3: positional flexibility out of him.
Speaker 1: This is good.
Speaker 3: So Junior Cameraro playing second base could be within a
Speaker 3: week of us finally seeing him. That's what I think.
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna see how they can get him positionally.
Speaker 3: But finally, my guests. By the way, sticking to it,
Speaker 3: I said May twenty fourth was gonna be my guest
Speaker 3: for when he ends up coming up to the majors
Speaker 3: because it's off of an off day and I think
Speaker 3: it can happen. Oh no, I gotta go, hey, yo,
Speaker 3: I gotta go Puppet Joe out.
Speaker 1: WHOA what happened? The internet just completely cut out of
Speaker 1: my house? But here we go. I missed puppet Joe
Speaker 1: apparently because I see the chat going on here.
Speaker 3: Okay, before we move on, If I don't get some
Speaker 3: love for being able to maintain that situation with Puppet Joe,
Speaker 3: if that wasn't a masterclass, I don't know what I'm
Speaker 3: doing anymore. So please everybody clap. Everybody clapp now for me.
Speaker 3: Please went in doubt, always go with puppets. So what
Speaker 3: did I miss?
Speaker 1: Welsh?
Speaker 3: We Well, Joe. Puppet Joe was talking about how he
Speaker 3: loves and has always loved Junior Camonaro and how excited
Speaker 3: he is that Junior Cameronaro was playing second base yesterday,
Speaker 3: and that's what I was talking about. So my guest
Speaker 3: still is May twenty fourth, real Joe that he's going
Speaker 3: to be coming up to the majors, and I think
Speaker 3: this lines up with them positionally putting him in another spot.
Speaker 3: I think this is great and this is the thing
Speaker 3: if people had let go of Junior Cameronaro. I know
Speaker 3: every prospect stinks and sucks and fails. I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: make sure that I've got Junior Cameraro if he's sitting
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 1: So Jerry Nail the two is also tells you Brenan
Speaker 1: Lau is not coming back anytime soon. Like that's also
Speaker 1: I think that, so yes, so I assume we hit
Speaker 1: the just for fun, we talked about Logan Gilbert and
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, puppet Joe. This is out Puppet Joe
Speaker 3: where he goes, Hey, yo, Welsh, what do you think
Speaker 3: about that? Logan Gilbert? You are really stupid and you
Speaker 3: hated him, but he started looking good again.
Speaker 1: What about aj Puck getting a save. Did he talk
Speaker 1: about that too?
Speaker 3: Hey, yo, Aj Puck no longer a starter?
Speaker 1: What we said all along, See, there's nothing you know,
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong ever, it's all just opportunities. Those not bad.
Speaker 1: Nothing is good or bad. It's whatever is in your
Speaker 1: your head.
Speaker 3: That's a really smart way to say. You should look
Speaker 3: at every every good, positive and every negative as an opportunity.
Speaker 1: And listen, you're getting rave reviews of the chat.
Speaker 3: By the way, pupa Joe Deshine, well thank you. I mean,
Speaker 3: I your your freeze, your face was incredible. But then
Speaker 3: you disappeared and I had to have a co host,
Speaker 3: so that was well.
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened. The internet just cut out
Speaker 1: completely where they must be doing some work outside or
Speaker 1: something like that. But yes, Junior Cameranaro everything Welsh and
Speaker 1: Papa Joe said. I would take that into account. The
Speaker 1: Mets are calling up Mark Vento's because they got rid
Speaker 1: of Joey Wendell. He gone, so Mark Viento's And now
Speaker 1: I think, with Brett Batty not looking like a major
Speaker 1: leaguer right now, I would not be shocked if Vento
Speaker 1: starts to really push for at bats and that could
Speaker 1: be an interesting corner guy in a deeperly are you
Speaker 1: know a fifteen team league? Mark Viento's might be one
Speaker 1: of these dudes that you know. I don't know how
Speaker 1: long Jady Martinez is for the dance with the New
Speaker 1: York Mets. I don't know how long the New York
Speaker 1: Mets are for the dance. Viento's is one of these
Speaker 1: guys I think in the last three months of the
Speaker 1: season is going to be valuable. What are your thoughts
Speaker 1: on that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think like that makes some sense, though I
Speaker 3: don't know if there's much left in the maturation tank
Speaker 3: for Viento's. He was still striking out a lot, right
Speaker 3: around twenty nine percent of the time in Triple A,
Speaker 3: but the powers there he hit two eighty four six homers.
Speaker 3: I think you know what you get out of him.
Speaker 3: This is one of those guys like if he can
Speaker 3: right the ship, barrel percentage can get up there, good
Speaker 3: hard hit numbers. He's just got some like big swing
Speaker 3: and miss in his game. But like you said, like,
Speaker 3: what are you missing from Brett Batty? I think the
Speaker 3: Baities of the world and the Vento's of the world
Speaker 3: are this team reckoning with oh, what trades do we
Speaker 3: need to make in the future. I don't think either
Speaker 3: one of these guys are the big answer, but you're
Speaker 3: almost better suited with the guys that have had the
Speaker 3: failured opportunity in the majors, went back down and come
Speaker 3: back up. I think that's where some of the best
Speaker 3: improvement comes from is in those like second third trial runs.
Speaker 3: So Vento's might be a source of homers, but I'm
Speaker 3: not jumping at it. I think these are just band
Speaker 3: aids for you know what they're going to cover up later.
Speaker 1: You know you should jump on the opportunity to win
Speaker 1: this the trophy Smack Fantasy Baseball Championship Belt, the Ken
Speaker 1: be yours. All you have to do is subscribe to
Speaker 1: the channel Fantasy Bros MLB Yeah and comment below in
Speaker 1: a video. That's it. Don't forget to ring the bell
Speaker 1: for notifications. Waiver Wire video comes out tomorrow, everybody, I
Speaker 1: think late tomorrow. So good things, very exciting stuff here,
Speaker 1: what a time to be alive.
Speaker 3: Look at Michael Info. This is this is it right here,
Speaker 3: twenty five k. We need to have the Puppet Joe
Speaker 3: and Puppet Welsh show. Oh, that's the one puppet.
Speaker 1: You know, years ago somebody bought my oldest daughter one
Speaker 1: of those like you can make your own muppet kind
Speaker 1: of thing, and it was so much fun. You had
Speaker 1: the hair and the eyes and the whole thing. You
Speaker 1: had like different. I mean, puppet versions of us would
Speaker 1: be spectacular.
Speaker 3: I don't know if we can get like the the
Speaker 3: upper people behind the curtain.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, twenty two hundred. If we get
Speaker 1: to twenty two hundred this season, I'll do the pineapple
Speaker 1: pizza two hundred, twenty five thousand, I should say, what
Speaker 1: did I say? Twenty two? If we get to twenty
Speaker 1: two thousand, I'll do the pineapple pizza.
Speaker 3: Why would people want to watch you eat pizza?
Speaker 1: Oh? Please chat? Tell Welsh why you want to watch
Speaker 1: my My complete disdain and unhappiness of having to eat that? Everybody?
Speaker 3: What twenty one thousand we do that? You do your pizza,
Speaker 3: and then twenty twenty two we could maybe do puppets.
Speaker 1: No, I think I think puppets is twenty five because
Speaker 1: that's an investment in time. We've got to figure out
Speaker 1: how to do it too on the show to make
Speaker 1: sure they're in the camera it's gonna be a whole
Speaker 1: thing like that's that's gonna be It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1: But Jim Henson will be proud. Three Carlos Rodan one earns,
Speaker 1: six innings, six case for him, Mitche Hannigher three for
Speaker 1: three with a dinger and a walk. Adolas Garcia two
Speaker 1: for four with a homer, three down Sunny Gray two
Speaker 1: bad ones in a row, Sonny Gray, what did you do?
Speaker 1: And you killed me yesterday? Five runs, six innings against
Speaker 1: the Angels. The other thing, I am mad that I
Speaker 1: talked about the ten era of re debtmes his last
Speaker 1: three starts, and he gave him five more earned runs.
Speaker 1: I should have absolutely a four earned runs sorry five total.
Speaker 1: But you're like, he's the worst pitcher in baseball. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: I should bet on the over on the earned runs.
Speaker 1: Slay Chaconi, by the way, to uh tagged for six
Speaker 1: runs in five and two thirds all slate.
Speaker 3: I will tell you this though.
Speaker 1: Slay Chaconi, isn't he like a choreographer for like the
Speaker 1: Laker girls? I feel like like probably which as he was.
Speaker 3: Uh, he's actually been really good. I'm gonna throw this
Speaker 3: out there if you guys haven't paid. I know you
Speaker 3: got lit up. It was later in the game though,
Speaker 3: he was pinpoint accuracy, and he said something after the
Speaker 3: game that he said, when he's getting deeper into games,
Speaker 3: he's trying to control the zone and the pitches more
Speaker 3: and more, and he said, I realize I can't do
Speaker 3: that at the major league level. He's like, I just
Speaker 3: have to throw the best pitch every single time, then
Speaker 3: trying to control points of the zone. I actually think
Speaker 3: he really is in a good spot, uh spot start place.
Speaker 3: So watch who he's going up against. If you've got
Speaker 3: bottom half offensive teams, I think you can. I don't
Speaker 3: know if he's a regular, but I really do think
Speaker 3: you can get some decent starts out of him because
Speaker 3: he is a fifth starter in baseball. He's actually looked
Speaker 3: good regardless of the dumb numbers yesterday.
Speaker 1: All right, let's fly through the injuries here. Junghu Lee
Speaker 1: has structural damage in the shoulder. That's what the MRI said,
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be having surgery. So this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a while. Folks, just make you make long term plans.
Speaker 1: If Lee was part of your long term plans for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, Reeese Hoskins is gonna miss two weeks,
Speaker 1: maybe a month with the hamstring train, so probably a month.
Speaker 1: Byron Buxton has done his rehab assignment, so that'll be
Speaker 1: good up until he gets hurt again. Bobby Miller is
Speaker 1: gonna face hitters today to winning simulate a game. We'll
Speaker 1: see how that ghost bus. Evan Phillips also could be
Speaker 1: throwing a bullpen today. Miguel Andahar remember him, remember the
Speaker 1: hot spring. Everyone's gonna excit about Miguel Andahar. Well tomorrow
Speaker 1: rehab a signment for him. Adrian Houser was scratched from
Speaker 1: today's start, So Joey Lukezy, how you go in? Is
Speaker 1: gonna make the start in this place, Tony, Joey say
Speaker 1: Tony and the Joey look gazy and all my people,
Speaker 1: my boys. Blake Snell another myer leg rehab start on Friday.
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole is gonna throw a thirty six pitch bullpen
Speaker 1: session yesterday. We'll look so far it was it was good.
Speaker 1: No problems yet. Yeah, immediately as soon as the rehab
Speaker 1: start is announced, that's when your pounds. Royce lewis he
Speaker 1: is running on the field, so that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: So we're getting closer and closer for him. I want
Speaker 1: Royce Lewis back so bad. And then the the A's activated,
Speaker 1: Zach Geloff, so that's a good thing. So all good things.
Speaker 1: Well she just speaking of good things. You know what
Speaker 1: else is good on a Wednesday? The Best Bets of
Speaker 1: the Day apparently isn't working for me, so I don't
Speaker 1: know why. Now, look, none of the things are working today,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: There it is, we could see it, Best Bets of
Speaker 3: the day, there it is. Look at us. We're so happy.
Speaker 1: All right. So that was terrible. So we need to
Speaker 1: do this again. Oh here we go. Hey Welsh, yes Joe, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: well now let's try to Hey Welsh.
Speaker 3: Yes Joe.
Speaker 1: You know what it's time for? What it's time for
Speaker 1: the best Bets of the day with Joey p and
Speaker 1: the Welsh. Make sure you're making your wagers over on
Speaker 1: bet three six five. Use that promo code leading off
Speaker 1: when you do bet five bucks, get one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty and bonus bets with the promo code leading off
Speaker 1: only at bet three six five over on the greatest
Speaker 1: spot to possibly put your wagers in now bet three
Speaker 1: six five is a sponsor of the show. We love
Speaker 1: bet three six five. We also love making money, and
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray stopped me from making all the money I
Speaker 1: wanted to yesterday. So I'm mad at Sonny Gray. I'm
Speaker 1: really mad at myself because I just should have trolled
Speaker 1: Red Detmers instead. I should have had even more of
Speaker 1: an investment against Jack Leider. But I had enough to
Speaker 1: get us through, So did you. Let's get to the
Speaker 1: k props for Michael King today against the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 1: Seven and a half plus money on the over. I
Speaker 1: think you can get to at least eight, maybe even nine.
Speaker 1: It's pretty much like ten strikeouts or he's terrible. That's
Speaker 1: what Michael King has been. But the Rocky stink plus
Speaker 1: one ten. Give me Michael King on the over today.
Speaker 1: Also give me the money line on the Yankees against
Speaker 1: the Twins. You might say, well, Pablo Lopez on the mound, Joe,
Speaker 1: that seems like a risky investment. It might be, except
Speaker 1: you're getting even money on the Yankees on the money line,
Speaker 1: So it's already fifty to fifty to win a baseball game, right, folks.
Speaker 1: Plus Juan Soto crushes Pablo Lopez in his career. Go
Speaker 1: look at the stats. It's a good thing. He's got
Speaker 1: several home runs. Torres also has some good numbers against
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez, So some of those guys have some surprisingly
Speaker 1: good numbers and stats against Pablo, so I like them,
Speaker 1: even though it's a road game today against the Twinkies.
Speaker 1: Austro the Astros on the run line minus one and
Speaker 1: a half at minus one oh five, that is what
Speaker 1: I'm looking for today. So Welsh, if you put together
Speaker 1: the Yankees money line and Juan Soto to score a
Speaker 1: run that same game, parlay will get you plus one
Speaker 1: seventy two. And that is my parlay of the day, Welsh.
Speaker 1: What do you have for the people for the bets
Speaker 1: of the day?
Speaker 3: Alrighty, I am going to Philly boy. Philly has been
Speaker 3: doing good stuff lately and paying for the bets to
Speaker 3: keep me in the positive. Yesterday as one, one and
Speaker 3: next because the Orioles didn't play yesterday, so pretty good.
Speaker 3: But I'm still I actually had another better too, so
Speaker 3: I'm on a little bit of a streak over I'm
Speaker 3: betting pros, but Philly has been doing good things. So
Speaker 3: Ranger Suarez on the bump run line one and a
Speaker 3: half is plus money for Philly, so I'm taking it.
Speaker 3: I'm taking Philly to be up by two runs or more.
Speaker 3: Give me plus is like plus one oh two plus
Speaker 3: one oh five. You can find it. I'm gonna take that.
Speaker 3: I'm also tempted if I got a little bit of
Speaker 3: a better line, I'd have probably played the first five
Speaker 3: to be up by one run. But they're a little
Speaker 3: bit juiced, so maybe pay attention to it. Next up,
Speaker 3: Tanner Hawk has been a weak spot for me lately
Speaker 3: because he has been a little bit of a failure
Speaker 3: over the last two and I do my win in
Speaker 3: doubt Tanner Howck. That has not worked. But this matchup today,
Speaker 3: Tanner how versus Taj Bradley. Taj looked pretty good in
Speaker 3: that return Tanner Hawk. Though the strikeouts haven't quite been there,
Speaker 3: We've got some maintenance overall. So instead of jumping on
Speaker 3: these strikeouts or you need crazy run lines, I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna take the eight run under, and I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: with this being a lower scoring game. Even the first
Speaker 3: five isn't really a bettable thing. At four and a
Speaker 3: half under, it's a little two juwice, So I'm gonna
Speaker 3: take the full game under eight runs right at minus
Speaker 3: one ten and then this is one of the crazier
Speaker 3: ones I've done. I'm usually pretty I don't want to
Speaker 3: call it chalky or whatever, but like I want to,
Speaker 3: you know, not play too much risk, but sometimes there's
Speaker 3: just too good of juice that you got to jump
Speaker 3: on it. And that's what I'm doing today with the
Speaker 3: Washington Nationals. First five money line, it was plus one
Speaker 3: fifty against the White Sox. Now Patrick Corbyn is on
Speaker 3: the mountain for the Nationals and Garrett Crochet is on
Speaker 3: the bump for the White Sox. But Nationals are scoring
Speaker 3: almost a full run more than the White Sox through
Speaker 3: the first five innings. Corbin is put together two really
Speaker 3: good starts, and Garrett Crochet those last two have been good.
Speaker 3: He's just been inconsistent this year. So if the Nationals
Speaker 3: are up by a run, it's plus one fifty. I
Speaker 3: want to take the Nationals and their offense and how
Speaker 3: they've been scoring against Garrett Crochet here, and in worse
Speaker 3: I mean worst cases, they lose, but I'm hoping at
Speaker 3: least if it's tied, I just get my money back.
Speaker 3: First five moneyline Washington plus one fifty. Those be the
Speaker 3: bets of the day.
Speaker 1: There you have it, everybody, make sure you download the
Speaker 1: betting pros apps. Start betting smarter, not harder. That's a
Speaker 1: smart thing to do, and that'll do it for the
Speaker 1: best bet of the day with Joey p and the Welsh. Well,
Speaker 1: it's time to get to the home run board. Not
Speaker 1: too many changes here. I'm still at fourteen, three behind
Speaker 1: Passy at the top with seventeen while still not quite
Speaker 1: there yet. Maybe Josh Naylor would have gotten you to eleven,
Speaker 1: and eleven would have been good enough to get on
Speaker 1: the board because at the ten so that would have
Speaker 1: happened yesterday. Again, join our discord at fantasypros dot com

Speaker 1: has against him. Well, I'm gonna go my boy jan
Speaker 1: Sodo today, see if i can get up that ladder
Speaker 1: just a little bit higher. On the home run calls Welsh,
Speaker 1: where are you calling your home run call for today?
Speaker 1: And maybe Puppa Joe should be calling your home.
Speaker 3: Well, I will tell you this. I am going with
Speaker 3: Corey Seeger today. I don't feel confident, but I had
Speaker 3: this little voice in the back of my head earlier
Speaker 3: who said, Hey, Yo, Welsh, I really like Alec Bomb.
Speaker 3: So Puppa Joe is going with Alec Boom, Hey yo,
Speaker 3: and I'm going.
Speaker 1: Papa Joe gets the home run? Right? Does that mean
Speaker 1: I get it or you get it?
Speaker 3: Well, you're not puppa Joe. I'm not puppet Papa Joe's
Speaker 3: its own entity. You are trying Puppa Joe gets it,
Speaker 3: So neither of.
Speaker 1: Us get it.
Speaker 3: No Puppa Joe does, and Puppa Joe goes on the board.
Speaker 1: Puppy, I'd like to see Puppa Joe on that board.
Speaker 3: I think you know what, Pappa Joe'll be probably on it.
Speaker 1: Oh, stop it. You're right there. You're right in striking distance.
