Speaker 1: me Joey p that's the Welsh, and it's you, the Peanuts,
Speaker 1: the Cracker Jacks. It's a fun Friday, and I do
Speaker 1: mean fun Welsh. Let me hear the song that he
Speaker 1: had made up for the show via AI. I had
Speaker 1: to say, AI has come a long way in a year, Welsh,
Speaker 1: and we have something in the works that's going to
Speaker 1: be I think very very special and well liked by
Speaker 1: all of our crew here, our Peanuts and our Cracker
Speaker 1: Jackson Welsh. This was absolutely hilarious. I would say the
Speaker 1: style is definitely ninety sitcom theme song and I think
Speaker 1: that feels about right. It's very TGIF feeling to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna I am going to have done the
Speaker 2: best AI work of anybody in this company. What you
Speaker 2: guys are going to get initiatives, initiatives exactly. This is
Speaker 2: the initiative I have. I created a banger I created
Speaker 2: clicks on Spotify. I will tell you this though, if
Speaker 2: people don't know quite what we're talking about. Like I said,
Speaker 2: this is probably hopefully going to come next week. I
Speaker 2: did start my process with trying to get Birds on
Speaker 2: Parade made, but but AI didn't like that I would
Speaker 2: use rage. Then I have one also out there, Joe
Speaker 2: that was I called it psychedelic progressive excuse me, psychedelic
Speaker 2: progressive rock of Joe and I. It's pretty good. It's
Speaker 2: kind of crazy. This though, it's gonna be great. So
Speaker 2: tune in next week because hopefully we will be able
Speaker 2: to present this with to you guys next week.
Speaker 1: This hope. This is Michael's weekend, might be Summer James,
Speaker 1: might be Michael's. If I know Michael, this is going
Speaker 1: to be his personal summer like weekend project, Like he's
Speaker 1: gonna think this on and it's gonna be pretty hilarious.
Speaker 2: I get to say the Summer Jam of twenty twenty
Speaker 2: four is coming next week right here on the chat.
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: let's get to the headlines. Corey seeger not good, well scratched,
Speaker 1: Thursday yesterday, hamstring tightness. You know, I don't know how
Speaker 1: many times you have to be beat over the head
Speaker 1: with Corey Seger's injuries to just understand what he is.
Speaker 1: And it's frustrating. It's a very good player, better player
Speaker 1: than his brother was, I think we could all say that,
Speaker 1: but a player that I think if you look back
Speaker 1: at his career, you know, when he came up with
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, he was so excited, and then again they
Speaker 1: got sour, and then he broke out and never got
Speaker 1: so excited, and then injuries, then renewed sense of confidence
Speaker 1: after incredible season you know, last year, but also dealt
Speaker 1: with injuries. There is no such version of Corey Seeger
Speaker 1: that is never going to be healthy and play one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty games like that. That does not exist
Speaker 1: with him. But it's really frustrating because he is such
Speaker 1: a good player, and I feel like we're missing out
Speaker 1: on Major League Baseball's missing out with a guy that's
Speaker 1: really talented, but we just can't get a healthy version
Speaker 1: of him for long enough of a season where he
Speaker 1: could make a realistic MVP run.
Speaker 2: I mean I kind of had that last year, but
Speaker 2: you know what take last year.
Speaker 1: To believe me, a couple leagues.
Speaker 2: I remember, take everything you just said, cut and go
Speaker 2: and paste that on every freaking player right now, Okunya
Speaker 2: Otani with the arm injury. Every guy is getting hurt
Speaker 2: left and right. It's the what how many players are
Speaker 2: really free of this? Like, man, we're just getting these
Speaker 2: seasons taken away from us. I agreed, Cory Seekers maybe
Speaker 2: like a tiny bit more. And Kory Seeker's career is
Speaker 2: kind of kind of altered, like four or five years
Speaker 2: ago when he really started taking the ability to like
Speaker 2: hit the ball really hard, like he prioritized hitting the
Speaker 2: ball really hard. That kind of ramped up his career,
Speaker 2: but it also might have potentially ramped up some of
Speaker 2: the injuries something to do. We don't have the data,
Speaker 2: we probably will never know, but we do know the
Speaker 2: not that hamstring has anything to do with this, but
Speaker 2: we know there's correlations with bat speed and rib Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: that kind of It's funny because weak injury. I feel
Speaker 2: like we started putting that.
Speaker 1: Together, like, hey, you know what's kind of interesting, this
Speaker 1: stat came about, and all of a sudden, this injury
Speaker 1: came about right around the same time at an absolutely
Speaker 1: dramatic rate and and.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe there was something maybe before that it was
Speaker 2: a little bit of more of a longer swing, and
Speaker 2: then he prioritized, you know, take that bat speed, which
Speaker 2: is gonna help you hit the ball harder, and then
Speaker 2: maybe it just worn down your body. We'll never know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we can keep having those. I'm still optimistic about Corey
Speaker 2: Sieger long career ahead. Yeah, you probably just need to
Speaker 2: ask all these guys got to kind of just build
Speaker 2: in the time. How many years did it take us
Speaker 2: to fully build in. Oh, yeah, Buckston's gonna just miss
Speaker 2: all of this time and then he kind of became
Speaker 2: not good player. Those are the things that we have
Speaker 2: to not wash from our brains. After fifty really good
Speaker 2: games to end a year and we go into a
Speaker 2: new season Welsh me and we're like, oh, he's gonna
Speaker 2: be amazing. Jacob de Grom, you know, like you have
Speaker 2: to build that in even when people are telling you, hey,
Speaker 2: this guy is gonna be you know, fifteen overall because
Speaker 2: of his talent, but if we know they're gonna miss
Speaker 2: thirty games. Mike Trout was given that barrier this year
Speaker 2: and it's still backfired. Cory Seeker could be one of
Speaker 2: those players in their future. I think he should hit
Speaker 2: the eyel after this. They waited this out. They let
Speaker 2: him sit, he redid the hamstring thing, let him sit
Speaker 2: for like two weeks. Get yourself right, stop pushing this.
Speaker 2: If he's gonna keep sitting, I don't know if they will,
Speaker 2: but that would be my assumption. And Josh Young just
Speaker 2: did started to rehab assignment, I think yesterday the day before,
Speaker 2: so that can be maybe an improvement.
Speaker 1: I look, if they put thee here on the eel,
Speaker 1: if Young comes back, like who knows, you know. I
Speaker 1: give the Rangers a lot of credit. They overpaid for Simmy,
Speaker 1: and they overpaid for Seeger. They went after it. They
Speaker 1: were aggressive last year with Suzer and all that, and
Speaker 1: they got a championship and the organization has never done that.
Speaker 1: So I give them all the credit. After this year, though,
Speaker 1: they have to take a hard look and to Gromp too.
Speaker 1: Let's not forget they were aggressive this so not every
Speaker 1: move worked out for them, but they were super aggressive.
Speaker 1: And if you're that fan base, you gotta be super
Speaker 1: excited about what the Rangers last year and the last
Speaker 1: few years to make them relevant new ballpark, you know,
Speaker 1: big stars, all that stuff. But after this year, I
Speaker 1: could see a blood letting in that organization of massive,
Speaker 1: massive rebuild coming. I'm just saying, like, don't be shocked
Speaker 1: because between the gram between Schurezer, Seeger and Simeon, like
Speaker 1: if things go wrong in twenty twenty five for them
Speaker 1: halfway through, I could see them being massive sellers potentially.
Speaker 1: I don't know how or what that's gonna look like,
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Sabo's goggle says Happy Father's Day. Thank you, Sabo.
Speaker 1: Same to you. My kids paper at school said he
Speaker 1: loves me more than Legos. That's not true. Your kid's lying.
Speaker 1: He just wants you to buy him something. That's uh
Speaker 1: or she no. I mean Legos are amazing, as good
Speaker 1: as parents as we might be. I don't know wherever
Speaker 1: we can better than Legos. Brendan fought stop. I've heard
Speaker 1: this one before, struck out eight Angels yesterday and six innings.
Speaker 1: The font has been fantastic and fantastic with a PF.
Speaker 1: By the way, that's how you spell fantastic when it
Speaker 1: comes to Brendan fought. Julia Rodriguez, I want to talk
Speaker 1: about this for a second game. Tiing Homer in the ninth.
Speaker 1: He was holding the trident yesterday and it was very exciting.
Speaker 1: Some some funny in on the YouTube comments, I saw
Speaker 1: some funnian wrote about you know, you know, you guys
Speaker 1: screwed me between Corbyn Carroll and Julio Rodriguez, and I
Speaker 1: wrote back to him, I didn't realize the season was
Speaker 1: two months long. That's what I didn't realize. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize that. I didn't realize that all the season is
Speaker 1: over already. Meanwhile, both those guys are picking it up
Speaker 1: in June.
Speaker 2: So whatever did he get both of those guys?
Speaker 1: I don't know, luck, but I mean that's a pretty
Speaker 1: good scenatia. I mean it's a pretty good scenario. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know it's been a rough two months. I get it,
Speaker 1: But come on, bro, come on funian.
Speaker 2: I actually I actually kind of liked the idea. I
Speaker 2: like the idea of somebody like going into the comments
Speaker 2: and being like, like, like we were the only ones.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously I'm like a Corbyn Carroll like Homer,
Speaker 2: but like we're the only Corby and Carroll Julihill ones.
Speaker 2: Like listen, I had an opportunity to go and get
Speaker 2: your malvrez.
Speaker 1: And you scream whatever, we don't watch the show. I
Speaker 1: don't care, like I love the person. I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't care if you care. I'm here for Welsh,
Speaker 1: and Welsh is here for me. If you're here for us,
Speaker 1: we're here for you. That's at your moment of zen. Okay,
Speaker 1: at your moment of zen today you like that. By
Speaker 1: the way, who's rocking the better beard? Me or the Welsh?
Speaker 2: That's what Mike, Wow, you have that's not a thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think going side.
Speaker 1: I can't see your side. Do you even have the
Speaker 1: full thing? Or you got no?
Speaker 2: I have bad so I don't have good side. That's
Speaker 2: why my wife doesn't like it. She doesn't like it
Speaker 2: because I think it about that you let it.
Speaker 1: Grow all the way, and I think it looked very sexy.
Speaker 1: I think you looked very good there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but see, like a week and a half
Speaker 2: goes by and she's already like, hey, you should probably
Speaker 2: shave that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, the whips are saying, these aren't beards. They're beards,
Speaker 1: they're just not Derek Brown beards. Where Like I have
Speaker 1: to comb it before I go outside. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: Garret Crochet for me Yesterday, thirteen k's for him. He is.
Speaker 1: If that's not the please get me out of their start.
Speaker 1: I don't know what is Welsh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's funny because we have my boy Luis
Speaker 2: Heel pitching today. We had Crochet yesterday. I I don't
Speaker 2: really recall having this mini especially like this dominant of
Speaker 2: a couple pitchers that are just facing this huge wall
Speaker 2: in front of them of potential shutdown, and more than
Speaker 2: anything else, Crochet being this trade target, the White Sox
Speaker 2: looking like they're we're gonna talk about White Sox in
Speaker 2: the second two. The White Sox are gonna trade off
Speaker 2: all these guys gart Crochet right now has one of
Speaker 2: the best expected eras in baseball at two three five,
Speaker 2: almost a full run lower than his three one six
Speaker 2: thirty five point seven percent K percentage, one of the
Speaker 2: best in baseball, with a five point eight walk rate.
Speaker 2: All of those things to say, those are elite numbers.
Speaker 2: He also is giving up some of the lowest expected
Speaker 2: batting average two hitters. His stuff has been dominant, but
Speaker 2: he's on one of the worst teams last week and
Speaker 2: he might be shut down for innings. What do you
Speaker 2: do with that?
Speaker 1: What do you do with that in hard. Look, I
Speaker 1: I don't know, but here's the thing, last three games,
Speaker 1: nineteen innings. We still got one win to show for this,
Speaker 1: by the way, a one two era, a seven point
Speaker 1: seventy nine thirty one strikeouts, five walks. That yesterday's outing
Speaker 1: certainly went a long way to make that look really good.
Speaker 1: But still that's really good. Jad Martinez at a game
Speaker 1: winning homer yesterday. Yay. Louis Severino, good trade everybody, trade
Speaker 1: them all, trade them all. Louis Everino was good to
Speaker 1: one run at six hittings. It was against the Marlins,
Speaker 1: so they had too excited. Todge Bradley eleven strikeouts for TODG. Bradley.
Speaker 1: You know going into the season, wells, I was very
Speaker 1: pro Todge Bradley, you know that, and then unfortunately you
Speaker 1: have the injury to start the year, and I think
Speaker 1: we were pretty supportive of him. Now, I think there's
Speaker 1: still gonna be the peaks and valleys, but this was
Speaker 1: a really good moment yesterday for Todge Bradley, one that
Speaker 1: I hope they can build on and start to be
Speaker 1: confident in because I can see a scenario where down
Speaker 1: the stretch TODs Bradley making himself into a pitcher next
Speaker 1: year that we're gonna be very aggressive on in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five. I could see that being July, August, September
Speaker 1: for him.
Speaker 2: I love Todge Bradley. We actually had this guy asked
Speaker 2: yesterday about Pavetta and explain something and he made I
Speaker 2: actually that like I was like, I'm gonna go Pavetta
Speaker 2: and then he's like later, I was like, oh wow,
Speaker 2: Bradley was so good, and he's like, I just didn't
Speaker 2: do your revis but here was one of the deals.
Speaker 2: Why ask us?
Speaker 1: But here rest of the season. I think Pavetta is
Speaker 1: an interesting Like again, rest of season is a different
Speaker 1: thing than today, you know what I mean, Like, do
Speaker 1: you start talks Bradley today?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well I guess I didn't read it as
Speaker 2: a today like today today. It was just Pivett usual.
Speaker 1: I think that's why we answered the way it was
Speaker 1: because we're just not sure, you know.
Speaker 2: But also Bradley's under there's a lot of underlying stuff.
Speaker 2: I was just doing this like just the other day
Speaker 2: about Bradley. The k numbers are always great, but Tampa
Speaker 2: Bay's can be kind of a disaster. But he has
Speaker 2: a worse expected era than his actual. That's not great.
Speaker 2: The walk grate isn't anything bad, strikeout rates really good,
Speaker 2: but fourteen percent barrel rate that he's giving up right now,
Speaker 2: and huge hard hit almost ninety two average EV one
Speaker 2: sixteen overall. And I don't know. I want to take
Speaker 2: a look to see if it'll pop up here. But
Speaker 2: if you go, I guess it's not going to for me.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna guess he's probably kind of lucky on
Speaker 2: the babbitt. And here's the thing. I really don't like.
Speaker 2: A three hundred batting average against his fastballs he's giving up,
Speaker 2: and it is an expected batting average that is worse.
Speaker 2: But there are great whiff numbers. The other three pitches
Speaker 2: he throws have a thirty percent whiff rate. I just
Speaker 2: think it's it's kind of actually, Blake Snellion, if you will,
Speaker 2: where it's like, I think there's gonna be some games up.
Speaker 1: That's it's quite Snellion.
Speaker 2: Here's this question, Blake Snelly And well, there's big whiff numbers,
Speaker 2: but I just I don't know if I think there's
Speaker 2: going to be some bad games intertwine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think there's but I could also see
Speaker 1: a path where you know, things start to click, because
Speaker 1: we've seen that sometimes with those guys, are those organizations
Speaker 1: you always believe in TODs, Bradley or Peppio. Rest of season.
Speaker 1: This one's from John in the chat, Johnny Taylor, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, I'm not looking at Pepio's numbers. I still kind
Speaker 2: of lean like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to live in the person
Speaker 1: yesterday necessarily, but it's definitely worth the questionnaire. Joe Ryan
Speaker 1: also to run seven innings for him another win over
Speaker 1: the A's, so we got that right again. Just beat
Speaker 1: up on the A's folks. All right, we got to
Speaker 1: talk about this because it's fun. Now Welsh has a
Speaker 1: video to show everybody, and when he has this video,
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a look at it because he was
Speaker 1: down at the Complex League getting to see Alojamenez yesterday,
Speaker 1: who did get a home run yesterday, but he also
Speaker 1: had a double. But the video, Welsh, I think the
Speaker 1: crux of this is running around the bases, which is
Speaker 1: not the greatest situation here. And lucky for him, you know,
Speaker 1: he did not hit a cycle because that would have
Speaker 1: been a lot more running. But you could listen to
Speaker 1: the cycle. Every single Thursday, it comes out there, they
Speaker 1: record it drops over the weekend. You can listen to
Speaker 1: an hour long Fancy Baseball Mike Mayer holding on the
Speaker 1: Fort with Kelly Kirby. It's been fantastic there. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna take a look at this video and Welsh, why
Speaker 1: don't you walk us through this?
Speaker 2: So Eloy I saw him the other day when Tommy
Speaker 2: fam and Andrew Ben and Tindi were rehabbing, and I
Speaker 2: actually asked him was he getting in games soon? And
Speaker 2: he's like yep, and then boom, here we go. So
Speaker 2: he gets out there. He came out early. He's dhing
Speaker 2: in this game. Fun fact, Tommy Fan was actually in
Speaker 2: the lineup card but then he I think is being
Speaker 2: activated today, so he did not play in the game.
Speaker 2: So I want to also remind everybody I have a
Speaker 2: Luis Robert video his first game back hits a homer.
Speaker 2: I got it, got on you know what was at
Speaker 2: the NBC coverage. Yeah, all the things are taking it
Speaker 2: and it did pretty decent Twitter numbers.
Speaker 3: The video you're about to see has far surpassed all
Speaker 3: of those numbers in roughly twelve hours because of what
Speaker 3: you're about.
Speaker 2: To see Eloijmenez. This is about the fourth pitch in
Speaker 2: it bat he smacks a double and then for the
Speaker 2: video people here, this is really important to watch how
Speaker 2: he runs and the comment section is a disaster. So
Speaker 2: here's Eloy Crush down center and then.
Speaker 1: So there he goes. Yeah he is. He is running
Speaker 1: like Miguel Cabrera five years from now at a softball game.
Speaker 1: And he misses first base too. So you can watch
Speaker 1: it again here in the video he misses first base.
Speaker 1: Now I know on the audio side for those people
Speaker 1: listening to the podcasts again see this, well, go to
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel to watch, but to say he is
Speaker 1: running Gingerlee and there he is missing first base there
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: He kind of maybe nix it, but I didn't notice it.
Speaker 2: Everybody started with that. But this run right here has
Speaker 2: really big like advanced level softball vibes, Dad softball vibes
Speaker 2: that are going on.
Speaker 1: This is I hit the ball in the gap and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just make sure that I'm able to go
Speaker 1: to work and stand up on Monday. That's what this is. Right.
Speaker 2: Look at that running, I mean Bogman's out running him
Speaker 2: to second. I'm not running him to second.
Speaker 1: Have you play it again in like fast oceanan.
Speaker 2: I wish like, can you speed these up?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Wait, we can?
Speaker 1: There you go there he goes all the way to
Speaker 1: first place. So look troubling. I think. I think he's
Speaker 1: so fast. Actually, we won't do it again now they
Speaker 1: have the thing on ready three two? He still looks slow.
Speaker 1: That's the amazing thing. He still looks slow going around
Speaker 1: the edd still slow. Matter what you do, it's still slow,
Speaker 1: which is unbelievable. Ah, yeah, you know Jackson, how he's like,
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I think it's like white guy's being so mean.
Speaker 1: Stop picking on him. He's a nice fella, you know,
Speaker 1: Oh Jackson, it's okay.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you man. I didn't even notice it until
Speaker 2: this morning. But it's like again, like anything I do,
Speaker 2: viral is very like subjective with me. But it's like
Speaker 2: half a million views and like whatever, you know, twelve
Speaker 2: hours and all people are talking about is how he's
Speaker 2: running and how good he doesn't look and how bad
Speaker 2: the running looks. Right now, ye.
Speaker 1: Does have a It does have a like I have
Speaker 1: to run to the restroom, like I just hate a whole,
Speaker 1: like veheta bowl or something like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to extend your legs.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the case. Maybe we're overreacting. Maybe that's exactly
Speaker 1: what happening. We're just overreact.
Speaker 2: He to go potty.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: Demias says he runs like Babe Ruth, which.
Speaker 1: Actually that's when you watch everybody loads like Babe Ruth
Speaker 1: when he speed up the film. That's what everybody look. Oh,
Speaker 1: Nolan Gorman, this is also for fun, oh for four.
Speaker 1: He's now three for thirty one over his last eight game.
Speaker 1: So remember that hot streak two weeks ago. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: nobody else is going to you missed the window. He's
Speaker 1: back down to two fifteen, two ninety seven, four sixty three.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm here to help everybody. I'm doing my
Speaker 1: best to help everybody. You gotta sell Noelan Gorman. Whenever
Speaker 1: he has that one or two hot streaks a year,
Speaker 1: I just move on. He is not great, Okay, Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge struck out all four times. Not a good outing
Speaker 1: for Aaron Joe there. So his thirty seven on cellum
Speaker 1: base streak, on on base game streak, that's what I
Speaker 1: meant to say, is gone. You know what else is gone?
Speaker 1: Alice Kiirroloff down to Triple A. Austin Martin gets the call.
Speaker 1: Uh so there you go between Kilov and Max Kepler. Man,
Speaker 1: the twins are desperate for some help in that offense.
Speaker 1: I mean, Royce Lewis being back is great bucks in
Speaker 1: it hitting a little bit, but jeez, man, I mean you.
Speaker 2: Want to know what they got it? They've got it
Speaker 2: in the miners. Besides Austin Martin if they wanted.
Speaker 1: To go to where Well Mayor House Warner been. I
Speaker 1: don't know how he's been hitting, but.
Speaker 2: Like, no, no, it's not guys.
Speaker 1: I don't we call here off a bus now officially?
Speaker 1: Like is that over? Are we done?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: He's Trevor dude. I was remember that I was the.
Speaker 2: Biggest Alex Kierloff fan planet. I got to interview him
Speaker 2: on Prospect one. I love his dad is a hitting coach,
Speaker 2: like I loved everything about kier alv It's a bus.
Speaker 2: But they've got brooks Lee at Triple A, who's not
Speaker 2: an outfielder but an infielder who's back healthy, just hit
Speaker 2: his first homer yesterday. That's a guy that could come
Speaker 2: up in the near future. And the problem with this,
Speaker 2: you want to talk about the Corey seekers of the world.
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Rodriguez, who's at double A, is one of the
Speaker 2: most exciting prospects in the minor leagues. He's got this
Speaker 2: that great kind of like Wandery helicopter type swing, huge power,
Speaker 2: great OBP numbers. He's running, but he's just always hurt.
Speaker 2: But he's at double A. He just got hurt again.
Speaker 2: That would be a guy, if healthy, that could come up.
Speaker 2: But just saying is like they've got some bullets down
Speaker 2: at the bottom two the next two levels of the miners,
Speaker 2: if they wanted to start making some moves, it would
Speaker 2: start with brooks Lee though. But again that doesn't help
Speaker 2: the outfield, which continuously is Look.
Speaker 1: If I'm the Twins, I'm aggressive again in the trademarket,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for bats, I'm looking for help. You have
Speaker 1: to be right now. You have Joe Ryan, you have
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez, you have two guys at the top of
Speaker 1: that rotation that are really good. You have a budding
Speaker 1: superstar and Royce Lewis give him some help. Go be aggressive. Mike,
Speaker 1: by the way, in the chat, this is very look
Speaker 1: at this nice comments. What's great about this show is
Speaker 1: you get more information and advice in thirty minutes than
Speaker 1: some other shows don't deliver in almost two hours. You're right,
Speaker 1: and imagine all the stupid we do in between. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's really saying something.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we just played alloy I just played because
Speaker 2: the Mets.
Speaker 1: By the way, did you hear this yesterday? Brett Batty
Speaker 1: was playing second base yesterday, triple A. I think Jeff
Speaker 1: McNeil's papers bye bye see McNeil goes, Alonzo goes.
Speaker 2: You could be Lewis on Helicunya too. You might see
Speaker 2: in the in the future.
Speaker 1: Maybe well see, he's gotta start hitting better. Still in bases,
Speaker 1: but hitting not so much. You know it is hitting
Speaker 1: white Langford. Oh, I love this one. He's still plus
Speaker 1: thirty four hundred I think for Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 1: Well homers you got I don't care. He drove in
Speaker 1: runs yesterday to the like It's okay. Everybody made fun
Speaker 1: of Gunner Henderson last year too, everybody who people were
Speaker 1: dropping Gunner dropping him. They could not sustain Gunnar Henderson anymore.
Speaker 1: Just watch, just.
Speaker 2: Watch Whyatt's got one homer on the season.
Speaker 1: By the way, he also like ten games, like what
Speaker 1: are we doing here? How many games?
Speaker 2: As he played, got one hundred and sixty four at
Speaker 2: bats with one five.
Speaker 1: It's fine, it's fine. It's not that many. It's not
Speaker 1: that different than thirty. What were the first one hundred
Speaker 1: at bats for Kenner Henderson last year? Smart more homers
Speaker 1: really not many more. Batting average was about the same,
Speaker 1: I remember, I know that or worse.
Speaker 2: No, no, his batting average stumps m absol okay, so
Speaker 2: hold on splits and then two thousand.
Speaker 1: Carry the one. Well you do that, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: three up and three down. Christian Walker drove in four runs,
Speaker 1: homering twice Carls Korea and still red hot. He had
Speaker 1: a great day yesterday and then three for four, two
Speaker 1: runs scored and three rbi. Ranaldo Lopez continues to be
Speaker 1: awesome for the brace. What a magical addition he's been
Speaker 1: against the Oriels yesterday, six shutout innings for him, struck
Speaker 1: out eight guys, three down, Griffin Canning four runs and
Speaker 1: six innings, Luis Madina four runs and five innings, and
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola so much for the under eight runs and
Speaker 1: three and two thirds way to go around. We had
Speaker 1: to go a a.
Speaker 2: Run worse day, all right. So last year Gunner hit
Speaker 2: a buck ninety seven in April, two homers, so he's
Speaker 2: got to hit thirty to two thirteen in May, three
Speaker 2: more homers.
Speaker 1: He hit ninety something, come bye.
Speaker 2: And then he hit three twenty in the month of
Speaker 2: June with six homers in that month. So he left
Speaker 2: June with eleven home runs. He had the stolen base
Speaker 2: every single month, so five stolen bases, eleven homers after
Speaker 2: one month.
Speaker 1: Again in the park, I don't care. Just keep hit
Speaker 1: in baseballs. Oh yeah, make a good contact. That's it.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all I want you to do.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Injuries. Bobby Miller gave up five runs and four and
Speaker 1: two thirds in triple A. Not good. Clayton Kershaw through
Speaker 1: a simulated game. Trey Turner is running one hundred percent yesterday.
Speaker 1: That's great. You know it's not all charge was not
Speaker 1: running a hundred percent. Llia man uh Orio's Gooby Mayo
Speaker 1: is beginning his rehab start actually yesterday, I should say,
Speaker 1: pardon me, which is great. So rehabbing in high A.
Speaker 2: Hopefully you know who's doing today. This is a big one,
Speaker 2: A big one. This was a big one. I just
Speaker 2: saw this morning. Ricky Tiedeman is starting up a rehab
Speaker 2: assignment in the Florida Complex League today, so he's gonna throw.
Speaker 2: That's a huge sign for the Teetaman. If he can
Speaker 2: get to the healthy, maybe would be somebody after the
Speaker 2: All Star Game that they might consider bringing up. And
Speaker 2: if Tietaman can get up to the majors and keep
Speaker 2: that arm healthy, he is someone we're gonna want to
Speaker 2: pay attention to. So it's not a stash yet. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be a little bit, but Tietaman on his way
Speaker 2: back is a big sun, right big.
Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I see it. We Stephen matt
Speaker 1: Serve returning from lower backstraight. He threw fifty pitches yesterday
Speaker 1: in Double A and Code A Senga Welsh has bullpen
Speaker 1: session on Wednesday. Everything went well. He's expected to have
Speaker 1: two more before facing live hitters. That was kode is
Speaker 1: Senga news there. So that is your injury notes coming
Speaker 1: into the weekend. And it's Fun Friday, which means it's
Speaker 1: time for Fridays best bets Bye of the Joey p
Speaker 1: and the Welsh. Make sure you place those bets at
Speaker 1: Bet three six five Bet five bucks get one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifteen bonus bets when you used the promo code
Speaker 1: leading off eighteen overn Kentucky gambling problem called one hundred
Speaker 1: Gambler or one hundred bets off on Iowa. Terms and
Speaker 1: conditions apply. I always wanted to do that really fast,
Speaker 1: like that guy from the eighties, that John Machida, I
Speaker 1: think his name is. He's the micro Machines guy. I
Speaker 1: remember the micro Machines guy. You talked really fast. He
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, God, I loved Mike.
Speaker 2: I didn't have a micro micro You were in the wheel,
Speaker 2: you were born in the fere like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was of the fifties. Asked No, it was uh,
Speaker 1: micro machines and Ninja turtles like that was I was
Speaker 1: already phased out. You were your so like you're right there.
Speaker 1: I was more human c I Joe and Transformers.
Speaker 2: My early years were definitely micro machines. I had the
Speaker 2: big like truck that spit out the pizzas and the
Speaker 2: Ninja turtles, and then I was always an X Men.
Speaker 1: Kid, so I moved on to X Men.
Speaker 2: I was never like a big G I Joe big
Speaker 2: and g I Joe.
Speaker 1: I mean, of course I go go power, all right,
Speaker 1: I am going afo today because yesterday everything that made
Speaker 1: sense didn't, So it's time to go away from the logic.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go with Boston on the money line
Speaker 1: against the Yankees. So I guess Aaron Judge. You know
Speaker 1: he's now stone cold after going over four yesterday with
Speaker 1: four k's heels on the mound. Right, he's been great, right,
Speaker 1: so it should be an easy Yankee win. But I
Speaker 1: don't care going with the Red Sox on the money
Speaker 1: line plus one fifty. Let's go. I am going to
Speaker 1: spite bet this one today too, like I want to
Speaker 1: see he'll look pedestrian and then everybody lose their mind
Speaker 1: and come back here on Monday. That's what I'm rooting for,
Speaker 1: a Welsh not that I want I can't stand things
Speaker 1: to happen, but I'm the low key of fantasy sports,
Speaker 1: and I just I love chaos, and I just think
Speaker 1: it'll be really fun. Atlanta on the run line minus
Speaker 1: one and a half at plus one oh five, got
Speaker 1: Chris sattled them out against Tampa. I love this one.
Speaker 1: I look, you've seen Matt Olsen start to hit a
Speaker 1: little bit. That's a good thing. So Atlanta's starting to
Speaker 1: pick themselves up dust themselves off a little bit, which
Speaker 1: is good. And even though it's on the road for
Speaker 1: the Detroit Tigers, give me the Tigers on the money
Speaker 1: line minus one oh five against Houston. I know it's
Speaker 1: a tough team, but you know what else is tough Scooble,
Speaker 1: and he's on the mound today and Kyle Tucker is
Speaker 1: still out of this lineup. So give me Scooble while
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros are down so again, Detroit on the
Speaker 1: money line, Atlanta on the run line, and the Boston
Speaker 1: Red Sox My chaos bet of the day, Welsh, what
Speaker 1: do you have for the people on Friday? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I got waxed, you and me both. So oh it
Speaker 2: was by the end. So today I'm gonna go right
Speaker 2: back at it. I'm gonna attack everything as I usually would.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna play any big pivots.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: Like a no run first inning, my no run first
Speaker 2: inning yesterday, even though they didn't give up runs for
Speaker 2: then like the next three or four innings, but it
Speaker 2: was no good for Cole Irvin. I'm gonna go back
Speaker 2: to it, and I'm going to go like Freddy Peralta
Speaker 2: Hunter Green Cincinnati Milwaukee no run first innings run minus
Speaker 2: one forty. It's the one I really like today for
Speaker 2: both of those guys. Both teams too in the bottom
Speaker 2: half of scoring in the first inning overall. Then you
Speaker 2: got both of these pitchers on the mound. So I
Speaker 2: like that one you mentioned. Atlanta Atlanta Tampa Bay first
Speaker 2: five under it's four and a half runs. I'm going
Speaker 2: under that through the first five innings at minus one twenty.
Speaker 2: I think Sale is going to dominate. Lattel is actually decent,
Speaker 2: but I think this could be a three to nothing
Speaker 2: Atlanta lead after five innings and then and that might
Speaker 2: be another good reason to play Atlanta on the run
Speaker 2: line through the first five you are taking Boston. I'm
Speaker 2: going to pair the New York Yankees money line with
Speaker 2: Atlanta's money line, and I'm going a couple units on
Speaker 2: that one. Chris Sayle Luis Heil plus one forty four.
Speaker 2: Those are my bets today.
Speaker 1: Get me back up there, you go, get them back up, folks.
Speaker 1: Come on, it's time to rise from the ashes. And
Speaker 1: of course you can go download the betting pros apps.
Speaker 1: Start betting smarter, not harder. Use the prop bet cheat sheet,
Speaker 1: use the analyzer, use all the tools of betting pros
Speaker 1: to make you more successful, better, because certainly we could
Speaker 1: have used them yesterday a little bit more. We should
Speaker 1: have stopped going on our instincts and use the machines yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't go on your proces.
Speaker 1: I forget go listen to betting pros again. That's the
Speaker 1: best bets of the day with Joey p and the
Speaker 1: Welsh for Fun Friday. All right, Welsh, this is interesting.
Speaker 1: Fred Dinger in the chat here with saying something and
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find it. Blue Jays are asking season
Speaker 1: ticket holders for renew by July twenty second, eight days
Speaker 1: before the deadline. Yeah, well, I think it tells you
Speaker 1: what the Blue Jay's plans are. Welsh. Don't you think?
Speaker 2: B Laddie Daddy go bye.
Speaker 1: By the way, I did some research for the Sunday
Speaker 1: show on Sports Grid For those who don't know. If
Speaker 1: you watch Sports Grid TV every Sunday, I'm out there
Speaker 1: from nine to eleven doing two hours of Baseball your
Speaker 1: Father's Day edition. Yeah, we just we work every holiday
Speaker 1: pretty much. But I was doing a little Splitsville and
Speaker 1: Kevin Gossman this year on the road one point eight
Speaker 1: six e RA point nine six whip. You what his
Speaker 1: home e RA is this year? You want to take
Speaker 1: a guess?
Speaker 2: What give me the road again?
Speaker 1: On the road one eight six ERA point nine to
Speaker 1: six whip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be not good because he is he's
Speaker 2: got some bad numbers. I'm gonna guess, like a point
Speaker 2: one are a one point five whip and like a.
Speaker 1: Seventy you're close six point six eighty alright, a one
Speaker 1: point six to one whip. So you are very good there,
Speaker 1: Well done.
Speaker 2: That's so weird too, because that's not a really great environment.
Speaker 1: No, it's very weird. It's very off trend. So I
Speaker 1: don't know problems at home. I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: I I don't even think I've like got it in
Speaker 2: my brain yet that we are close to getting into
Speaker 2: just trade speculation much, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 2: when you're getting to yeah, well, you just are gonna
Speaker 2: start getting that where it's like they're gonna be more rumors,
Speaker 2: more rumors. We we know there was an announcement I
Speaker 2: think yesterday announcement, but like a tweet that there are
Speaker 2: six teams that are currently in on Luis Robert. One
Speaker 2: interesting one was the Kansas City Royals on Who's gonna
Speaker 2: pay that package? As he then hits a homer last night.
Speaker 2: But we are in that space where teams are gonna
Speaker 2: start kind of letting go, They're gonna start moving players,
Speaker 2: and we are gonna have to get into really heavy speculation.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of excited about that. That's always fun. But
Speaker 2: I don't know. Vlad might be on the move. Robert's
Speaker 2: definitely mean this guy.
Speaker 1: Maybe Blad Guerrel look at me talk about the ledge again.
Speaker 1: I'm still there. I'm in. This is just kindness at
Speaker 1: this point. No good, no boy, No, I need some
Speaker 1: home runs.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I just thought about. I just
Speaker 2: thought about this. What if our home run contest is
Speaker 2: like the Madden curse. It was all Corbyn Carrol last
Speaker 2: year and then Glad this year and he gets but
Speaker 2: he gets no, Yeah, okay that he was in the
Speaker 2: next year. He stinks. But if Lad gets traded we
Speaker 2: traded him because we put him as the feature on
Speaker 2: the home run.
Speaker 1: Every second half, then you can thank us. I think
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's like the Not curse. It's
Speaker 1: the blessing we're blessing you, but.
Speaker 2: Then the next year is bad. So Vlad is not.
Speaker 2: What if he gets traded?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's again. I didn't know the season
Speaker 1: was two months long. That's what I didn't know. All right,
Speaker 1: my home now, well, I'm just riding the hot hand here.
Speaker 1: Royce Lewis through the weekend. He's got some good matchups.
Speaker 1: Sobie plays all three games because if he doesn't, that's
Speaker 1: gonna hurt me. So Lewis, please hit me some home runs.
Speaker 1: I'd like to. I need to. I need to move
Speaker 1: to the other side of the board. Welsh. Where you
Speaker 1: going with your home run call?
Speaker 2: I'll give me some matt Olsen.
Speaker 1: I almost took. That was my number two. There you go.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So if I'm gonna back the braves and some bets,
Speaker 2: let's back some matt Olsen. Let's get me on the board.
Speaker 2: Joey might be phoning.
Speaker 1: I am stone cold by the way. McCaffrey on the
Speaker 1: Madden cover, Welsh, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 2: I'm fine?
Speaker 1: I think friends.
Speaker 2: They someone was talking about that curse has been kind
Speaker 2: of like three or four years, not really like living
Speaker 2: up to its previous height, where every player would be destroyed.
Speaker 2: After this year will be fine. Everything will be fine.
Speaker 2: Joe I got a McCaffrey helmet right behind me, one of.
Speaker 1: These lots of toys. We has lots of toys there
Speaker 1: and we'll be back on Monday to talk more baseball.
Speaker 1: That'll do it for us, but the story of the
