Speaker 2: My new favorite, well, I want to say, my new
Speaker 2: favorite bit in the chat is the absolute thumbs up
Speaker 2: I'm getting every morning about the hair. I mean, your
Speaker 2: hair is spectacular. It took it took twenty seconds for
Speaker 2: the hair check to happen, but.
Speaker 1: You had that weird as you call it. The Jimmy
Speaker 1: Neutron thing. It was like the thing that all the
Speaker 1: girls had in the mid nineties early nineties were like
Speaker 1: that that weird hairspray thing, going like I don't know
Speaker 1: what was going on, and this looks was it was.
Speaker 2: My Cameron Diaz, the whatever the movie was, the this hairjel.
Speaker 1: They're saying, mustache is at fourteen K. Now, that's something
Speaker 1: we can get behind. I could definitely do a mustache show.
Speaker 1: My wife would be so no, no, you just yeah, look
Speaker 1: you have the beard them the whole the show or
Speaker 1: just one. No, just to the one show and then
Speaker 1: you shave it right after the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I could grow itto it.
Speaker 2: I could shave it. I could do it one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: It'll be a vacation from ourselves.
Speaker 2: Well what type of mustache should we do that?
Speaker 1: I'll leave that up to your internal just like like.
Speaker 2: This one, or do like a handlebar.
Speaker 1: I think you'd look good at the handlebar. I think
Speaker 1: you have a Sons of Anarchy kind of vibe about you. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I think it would be a good look for you.
Speaker 2: So that was an insult somehow, that was an insult.
Speaker 1: No, it wasn't. I'm mad though, we have to start
Speaker 1: off here with the baseball today. I'm mad because, as
Speaker 1: everybody knows, I've been on the heater of all heaters
Speaker 1: all week and my home run called yesterday before I
Speaker 1: changed it was Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 2: Oh you can't be this hot right now.
Speaker 1: I know. It was almost like the gods were like, no,
Speaker 1: I changed my home run called. I don't even know
Speaker 1: who I picked yesterday. I gotta go back and look,
Speaker 1: but I had Jose Ramirez and I changed it and
Speaker 1: he had three home runs. So we got to give
Speaker 1: some love to Jose. It's been a quiet year for him.
Speaker 1: He's getting no help for the Guardian. Zach Wheeler recorded
Speaker 1: eight strikeouts, but not eight and a half, so did
Speaker 1: Cash There let's go baby, give up one earned run,
Speaker 1: actually one run not earned in the no decision. Clayton
Speaker 1: Kershaw was excellent against the Reds as we were fading them.
Speaker 1: Nine strikeouts over seven shutout frames. And then this is
Speaker 1: the big news yesterday. A couple of injuries. First, this
Speaker 1: one Jordan Alvarez, the oblique injury could wind up missing
Speaker 1: some time there. So let's talk about that. Because the
Speaker 1: Astros offense has not been good, losing Alvarez. They just
Speaker 1: got al tuo Vea back from the same injury, this
Speaker 1: oblique issue. So what do you want to do here
Speaker 1: with Alvarez? Where do you go? Basically from here?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean where do you go? You don't? That's
Speaker 2: like the old adage of like how do I replace him?
Speaker 2: You don't. You just hope to be able to get
Speaker 2: whatever you can off the wire. You know who came
Speaker 2: into my mind immediately was Luke Rayley as someone that
Speaker 2: you could go and probably make a pivot to. Really
Speaker 2: has been really good. He's been playing kind of platuning
Speaker 2: a little bit similar to what they've been doing with
Speaker 2: Josh Lowe in Tampa Bay. But Raley might be someone
Speaker 2: I'm looking at in probably like twelve team deeper leagues
Speaker 2: if you're looking for some production. The Astros just don't
Speaker 2: really have a big guy to be able to turn to.
Speaker 2: Justin Durden is somebody that I haven't seen any moves
Speaker 2: and what they're going to do. But Justin Durden is
Speaker 2: someone that could bring out little power speed combo. He's
Speaker 2: kind of a fun bat. But I just don't think
Speaker 2: there's anybody coming from Houston that you're going to go
Speaker 2: with so now Luke Raley, Luke Ridley was one of
Speaker 2: the first ones outfield first base eligibility, has some big power.
Speaker 2: There's probably a couple others. Unfortunately, this might be even
Speaker 2: a streaming hitting spot where you just got to kind
Speaker 2: of follow the hot bass right now.
Speaker 1: Christian Walker an interesting by low too.
Speaker 2: There might be some Absolutely, yeah, every time every time
Speaker 2: I pick him, he just keeps kind of bringing back down.
Speaker 2: But I mean absolutely masher for one of the best
Speaker 2: teams in baseball, and because he's been down so much,
Speaker 2: people aren't really in on him.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, but the deeper stats are all good
Speaker 1: on Christian Walker. Yeah, that's why I think you could
Speaker 1: still pry him away potentially. But that's what you look
Speaker 1: at who's on a good streak right now and try
Speaker 1: to figure it out from there. Pe Alonzo looks like
Speaker 1: his streak is ending. He's going to the IL most likely. Again,
Speaker 1: we're still waiting for the official official word, but seems
Speaker 1: like all the rumblings are putting us there now. That
Speaker 1: being said, once again, this is another big injury and
Speaker 1: a huge impact to this Mets starting lineup. Because you
Speaker 1: take Pete Alonzo out, this is much different. Just like
Speaker 1: when you take Aaron Judge out. So this is a
Speaker 1: big problem here for the New York Mets lineup. You
Speaker 1: would imagine you'd see a little bit more Viento's, you know,
Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez kind of been that one lone bright spot
Speaker 1: for that offense. Another crushing loss for them last night.
Speaker 1: He's been unconsciously good man. But I mean this is
Speaker 1: these are two MVP caliber, top tier first round pick
Speaker 1: kind of bats.
Speaker 2: You know, someone's out there with that toster, you know
Speaker 2: that they had like Jrdan Alverreez, mpe Alonzo. Those are
Speaker 2: like the you know, top two picks for big power.
Speaker 2: And now, as Wonky said, really all of those first
Speaker 2: base outfield guys are in play for you to be looking.
Speaker 1: Here's a good one too. Doobie brings up Nolan Jones.
Speaker 1: Now that's a guy who's probably floating out there in
Speaker 1: a lot of formats right now. He's a plug in
Speaker 1: play potentially if he need some more power.
Speaker 2: I like that, Okay, but that's what I was talking
Speaker 2: about with like, what you might want to end up
Speaker 2: doing is streaming the position. What do I mean by
Speaker 2: that is just like Turnstiles follow you know, look at
Speaker 2: last seven days follow those don't get too hardcore stuck
Speaker 2: with a single player and just tried to move through
Speaker 2: them because I don't know what you guys are going
Speaker 2: to available. But I would rather have Luke Rayley than
Speaker 2: Nolan Jones. But if Nolan Jones is getting going in
Speaker 2: Colorado's score and run, sure that's one percent.
Speaker 1: Connie's got a question first, who Xander Bogart just got
Speaker 1: dropped in my league because of his wrist issues? How
Speaker 1: much should that person be shamed? A fair amount? I
Speaker 1: don't know why you would drop five man if you
Speaker 1: have if you have no il spots, like I don't
Speaker 1: understand what the circumstances of that.
Speaker 2: There could be. It could be like an eight man
Speaker 2: league with no il spots. That would make sense. If
Speaker 2: it's a short league like that, I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should just don't do that.
Speaker 2: Two belts too shame bells like shame. Yeah, like you
Speaker 2: don't need to do a whole walk, but just like two.
Speaker 1: But if you're discontented with a player, put them up
Speaker 1: on the block. I mean to just drop a player.
Speaker 1: To me, that just makes no sense. I don't understand that.
Speaker 1: That makes absolutely no sense to me. A couple other
Speaker 1: pieces of housekeeping. We got to talk about this because
Speaker 1: it's big news. Joe Adell two hundred and fifty one, majestic,
Speaker 1: unbelievable home run. It was crazy, one hundred and seventeen
Speaker 1: miles hour off the bat. I mean it was. It
Speaker 1: was alarming for sure, and Redebtmer's got to win. So
Speaker 1: crazy things happening.
Speaker 2: We were in the upside down.
Speaker 1: We are so I assume Jodell was watching the show
Speaker 1: yesterday didn't care for Welsh's comments and said, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out there and put hurt on it.
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Jodell looked a little bit more
Speaker 1: swole than last time I saw him.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean he is like from the day he
Speaker 2: got drafted. One of the big things was like this
Speaker 2: guy is a workout. Okay, he's a really smart guy.
Speaker 2: He's pokier too. Then yeah, well but that's what.
Speaker 1: He focused on.
Speaker 2: He was one of my favorite interviews of all time
Speaker 2: because I remember in that Arizona Fall League I'm talking
Speaker 2: to actually talked to Josh Lowe. I talked to different
Speaker 2: guys and I'm asking them. I was I was having
Speaker 2: this focus on like how their power approach is and
Speaker 2: what their approach was, And all these guys were giving
Speaker 2: me cookie cut answers like, oh, you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: trying to hit homers and I'm just trying to spray it,
Speaker 2: you know, doubles, blah blah blah, all the same answers
Speaker 2: Joe Adell did not. Joe Adell was like, Oh, I'm
Speaker 2: one hundred percent trying to tap into my power. He's like,
Speaker 2: I know my own raw power, and I know when
Speaker 2: to turn it on in games. The only problem was
Speaker 2: he actually didn't know when to turn it on in
Speaker 2: games because he couldn't hit high fastballs. He had no
Speaker 2: off speed recognition. But this is a guy that was
Speaker 2: doing the like the jump up onto the boxes that
Speaker 2: are like six feet tall. He's always working out, he
Speaker 2: liked to do the vests. I mean, he was an
Speaker 2: analytical smart guy that he's been so far behind. So
Speaker 2: that's why, like I'm dismissive of it, because he was
Speaker 2: still hitting or still thirty percent strike out rate in
Speaker 2: the minors. But this is a guy I do believe
Speaker 2: at some point is going to click. I still don't
Speaker 2: really think this is it, regardless of hitting majestic cool
Speaker 2: awesome homers, But I'm open to the possibility. And guess
Speaker 2: what you lost, Jordan, You lost Alonzo and you're looking
Speaker 2: for some I don't know, some power potential just to
Speaker 2: you know, dark.
Speaker 1: Run out of them at the very least. Here's a
Speaker 1: here's an interesting question here. This is from Ian Fernando
Speaker 1: Rodriguez vill Reno, and I hope I won't say that again.
Speaker 2: Do that again?
Speaker 1: No, that was it? Just get at once. If I
Speaker 1: do it a second time, it won't be good. How
Speaker 1: do you handle leagues that barely make trades? Now? This
Speaker 1: is a good question because I think we've all been
Speaker 1: stuck in those scenarios. Now. Luckily, if you choose the
Speaker 1: right people, you choose crazy people in your league that
Speaker 1: are ready to have fun and make moves and do stuff.
Speaker 1: But I've been in these leagues before, and sometimes it's happens.
Speaker 1: Sometimes in these quote unquote expert leagues do they're really
Speaker 1: hard to deal in because everyone thinks they're the smortest
Speaker 1: person in the room. So I get that. I think
Speaker 1: when I'm in a league of that nature, Welsh, my
Speaker 1: whole thing is you have to put enormous amount of
Speaker 1: energy into the draft. You have to be very calculated
Speaker 1: about the risks you take, because if you do have
Speaker 1: injuries or bad luck, it's one of those things like
Speaker 1: you can't trade out of it. And then the other
Speaker 1: thing is really being ahead of the curve on waiver wire,
Speaker 1: like you have to use your bench almost like like
Speaker 1: you should have been the team that had led other
Speaker 1: crews a month ago. You should have been the team
Speaker 1: that was way ahead on you know, certain Bobby Miller
Speaker 1: and all of those kind of things. Like that's the
Speaker 1: kind of operation you have to run in that format.
Speaker 1: That's my take, what's yours?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that. I will tell you
Speaker 2: I like, I like to trade, but I'm not the
Speaker 2: best trader because but I'm a little bit different. I'm
Speaker 2: super busy, and uh, I need I need more active.
Speaker 2: Like if I was a relationship, I need it to
Speaker 2: be about me, and I need I can't give as
Speaker 2: much as I'm going to take in that so I
Speaker 2: need people to spoon feed me deals closer deals because
Speaker 2: the problem the art of the trade is most people
Speaker 2: are going to send you a trade that sucks, and
Speaker 2: we all know it sucks, and then that's the starting
Speaker 2: point you work towards it where sometimes I think in
Speaker 2: those type of leagues, you you can't so much look
Speaker 2: at trades being like this is what I need, and
Speaker 2: you've got to focus on like what makes sense for
Speaker 2: them and send a trade that is close and you
Speaker 2: be the active one. It may not help, it may
Speaker 2: not work, but being more proactive, even than the frustration,
Speaker 2: is the best way to do it. And then you know,
Speaker 2: ping the people maybe take a chance. It may not
Speaker 2: change trade.
Speaker 1: Everyone's trying to win the trade. And what I do.
Speaker 1: Oftentimes there's players that I want to acquire, and I
Speaker 1: will sit there and I'll look at a roster and
Speaker 1: I'll say myself, I can't justify what I have on
Speaker 1: my roster to make that trade for that player that
Speaker 1: I want, Like it just it doesn't match up, and
Speaker 1: I will not even make that offer. But if you
Speaker 1: can really put yourself in the other team's shoes and
Speaker 1: honestly do it, then I don't see any reason why
Speaker 1: you know, you can't have some trades go on. I
Speaker 1: think probably people are annoyed because people get crappy offerers.
Speaker 1: They get those dumb pile up offers like here's ten
Speaker 1: players for your one good one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and dissect like you're saying and dissecting where the
Speaker 2: other person's at. Because I've gotten trade offers in a
Speaker 2: couple leagues this year where people are trying to unload
Speaker 2: big like let's say call them like little biggerish names,
Speaker 2: but they don't make sense for my team, Like there's
Speaker 2: no like, why do I need these four guys when
Speaker 2: two of them I don't actually really want, so, like
Speaker 2: make sure they make sense. It may not cure it, but.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, honestly, you should just play more best
Speaker 1: ball then too, Like if you're a smart baseball person,
Speaker 1: you know, just do those drafts and hold kind of formats.
Speaker 1: By the way, Ian says that I pronounced it better
Speaker 1: than the announcer and his graduation. So there you go.
Speaker 2: And what you said, I can't do the Villerino.
Speaker 1: I can't, probably because it's got the little till day
Speaker 1: over it. I think that's called a till day. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm gonna call you till day till day.
Speaker 1: Let's get let's get to the injuries. Besides Alonzo and Alvarez,
Speaker 1: Laya Menez day to day saught me. Have you heard
Speaker 1: this one before? Lower left leg injury? Oh, God, uh,
Speaker 1: the White Sox really should just you know, I think
Speaker 1: the White Sox should just take a year off in baseball.
Speaker 1: Can they do that as an organization, just be like,
Speaker 1: you know what their players do, step away. That's a
Speaker 1: good point. Maybe it's time to just step away. Adam
Speaker 1: and Duval is returning, though, he's stepping back from that
Speaker 1: risk injury that you know. He was red hot. He's
Speaker 1: the highest all over in baseball in terms of points
Speaker 1: and home runs and everything, and then he got hurt
Speaker 1: right away. He's finally gonna be back on Friday. We'll see.
Speaker 1: This was the same risk that he hurt previously. So
Speaker 1: I'm not holding out hope. Julio Yurius is gonna be
Speaker 1: back on Sunday, so kind of wait and see it
Speaker 1: starts against the Phillies. I would wait and see a
Speaker 1: Lance mccolor is gonna end to go in MRI after
Speaker 1: his recent setback. Also, Welsh Alex Verdugo was benched yesterday
Speaker 1: because of lack of hustle. Alex Verdugo has always been
Speaker 1: one of these guys that you know, you remember Alex
Speaker 1: Verdugo very well. I'm sure Alex Verdugo has been one
Speaker 1: of these guys historically that not very well liked amongst
Speaker 1: his peers. Uh, certainly talent, but always kind of gives
Speaker 1: that vibe off of the guy who was really good,
Speaker 1: always knew he was really good, got to the big leagues.
Speaker 1: He's not as great as he thinks he is, but
Speaker 1: he still acts like he's basically kiking.
Speaker 2: I've heard a really nice guy with fee. He might
Speaker 2: be stuff like that, but he also did as far
Speaker 2: as I was told, he got sent home when he
Speaker 2: was back way way back in the AFL. He'd got
Speaker 2: Dodgers with him.
Speaker 1: To remember, they had all kinds of issues with this
Speaker 1: guy in the clubhouse. I remember, Yeah, all that rookie
Speaker 1: lookie time A J. Smith, Schwarver, Cholver not Schwarburg.
Speaker 2: I've got we're gonna talk about short, We're.
Speaker 1: Thinking about hogies. I'm hungry. Cholver is going to make
Speaker 1: his debut. What do you think of investment wise here?
Speaker 1: If you picked him up, would you be starting him
Speaker 1: or are you getting the wait and see pile here?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And by the way, it'll be his starting debut
Speaker 2: because he did make his debut against Arizona Diamond back third.
Speaker 2: They're pretty good, They're pretty sweet. Struck out Corban Carroll
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Yeah, I'm actually cares still. I'm
Speaker 2: a little bit invested in him today because that fastball works.
Speaker 2: The sliders great. I'm really gonna be interested to see
Speaker 2: how the curveball lands. He could not land it in
Speaker 2: his relief appearance. It was just up and down. I
Speaker 2: mean it was nowhere in the zone. Wasn't getting any swings.
Speaker 2: But the slider is a punch and the fastball is
Speaker 2: a punch. I hope they let him go deep into games.
Speaker 2: He's very young, but I like this matchup, so I'm
Speaker 2: a little bit investor. We'll talk about it later. I
Speaker 2: would be cool with making the start, but I do
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be a little bit of a push
Speaker 2: for him to get to five full.
Speaker 1: Look at this wonky penguin bringing a question to the
Speaker 1: table today, contending team wants my Joe Ryan, offering Nolan
Speaker 1: Gorman or Royce Lewis. Now, the circumstances are it's a
Speaker 1: four year max contract, so I can only assume that
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan's contract is expiring. So we're looking ahead. So
Speaker 1: which do you rather invest in? Royce Lewis or Nolan Gorman?
Speaker 2: It's a great question.
Speaker 1: I do your favorite things, It's like, yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: choose between her favorite books or something.
Speaker 2: That is those are two of my favorite things. I'm
Speaker 2: pretty enamored with Nolan Gorman. Like I love Royce Lewis,
Speaker 2: But if I'm thinking about, like there's a four year window,
Speaker 2: which one of those guys has the most likely opportunity
Speaker 2: to get like really hurt, it's Royce because that's his
Speaker 2: second favorite thing to do. Nolan Gorman has made so
Speaker 2: many big changes hitting three in that lineup. I actually
Speaker 2: think that's kind of cool in a keeper league, especially
Speaker 2: if Ryan has like, you know, two more years left
Speaker 2: and you get four of Gordon.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming thin gets fair. Look, if Ryan has any
Speaker 1: time I'm left, I'm keeping Ryan. But if Ryan's you know,
Speaker 1: basically done this year and you're getting what if it's.
Speaker 2: Like the rest of this year and next year and
Speaker 2: then you can give four years.
Speaker 1: And I keep because I believe in Joe Ryan. So
Speaker 1: I would still keep Joe Ryan on those guys. And
Speaker 1: I don't like Nolan Gorman, but I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I think Gorman is the better guy, by the way,
Speaker 1: you know, looking back on it, Oprah did give us
Speaker 1: a lot of great things over the years, but she
Speaker 1: also gave us doctor Oz and doctor Phil, and I
Speaker 1: think she should be taking a task for that. I
Speaker 1: think that's a lot. I mean, she gave us those
Speaker 1: two things. If it wasn't for her, those things wouldn't
Speaker 1: be in our public psyche. I think better. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was thinking about Oprah's favorite things, and I was thinking about,
Speaker 1: you know, doctor Phil and doctor Oz and all those people.
Speaker 1: And I think about those two yahoos and think about
Speaker 1: how much better a world it would be if nobody
Speaker 1: knew those guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree, But what got you there?
Speaker 1: I don't. I said, like, no, I said, you have
Speaker 1: to choose between Royce Lewis and Nolan Gorman, like between
Speaker 1: her favorite things. Just thinking about I'm telling you, I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, it's times I just think about
Speaker 1: Phil Donahue. Does anybody know who Phil Donna Hue is?
Speaker 1: In the chat?
Speaker 2: By the way, Fantasy a low network? Are we gonna
Speaker 2: be simulcanus?
Speaker 1: But Blaine calls me Oprah, our boss. Blaine calls me
Speaker 1: Oprah and he and you know, because everybody talks to
Speaker 1: me in the industry, and I can talk to anybody
Speaker 1: basically in the information.
Speaker 2: But most worse, who do you think is worse, Doctor
Speaker 2: Phil or uh, doctor doc?
Speaker 1: Doctor Oz is far worse. And that's saying something because
Speaker 1: the bar is very low from doctor Phil, just saying uh.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Let's continue on here. Three up
Speaker 1: and three down. Austin Riley four for six with a
Speaker 1: two run homer, Braves get that extra inning win, and
Speaker 1: the Mets right now are licking their wounds. But Francisco
Speaker 1: al Forres again, keep talking about this guy. I think
Speaker 1: what seven of his eight home runs before we turned
Speaker 1: the page into June. We're all in the month of May.
Speaker 1: Like this guy has really figured it out fast. So
Speaker 1: all those morons that we're calling for him to be
Speaker 1: sent down in April after kind of struggling, God have
Speaker 1: some patience with these rookies, for God's sake. And here's
Speaker 1: Alvarez crushing it right now. He's the only guy awesome,
Speaker 1: looks so good, Welsh, better than I could have ever anticipated.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how sustainable it is, but look,
Speaker 1: the Mets have something there and he should be the
Speaker 1: everyday catcher period going forward. Luis Robert three for five
Speaker 1: with the solo homer Nisteel, so good night for him
Speaker 1: the downs, though, Ashcraft is going to get his Ashcrafted
Speaker 1: out of that rotation pretty soon if he's not careful.
Speaker 1: He two in two thirds is era's at six seven eight.
Speaker 1: I just don't get it. I didn't get it to
Speaker 1: begin with when people were talking about him as being
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna save this rotation. No minor league numbers
Speaker 1: were unimpressive to me. Three hits, three earned, he's done
Speaker 1: from this rotation. Now your era's at seven, You're done.
Speaker 1: So all the Ben Lively shares. Let's go all the abbot,
Speaker 1: Let's go Spencer. Schreider was bad yesterday. He earned runs
Speaker 1: for him four innings to Homer's Verlanders like oh my beer,
Speaker 1: four earned runs of his own and three innings. He
Speaker 1: was terrible.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that for one second, because I saw
Speaker 2: a lot of people kind of freaking out because Strider
Speaker 2: had moved into a spot of in the number one
Speaker 2: sp not only in Dynasty, even Redraft, and people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: in this start, they're like Villa on his fastball was
Speaker 2: down a full mile per hour in the game, so
Speaker 2: it was down one point one. Slider was down, change
Speaker 2: up was down. This is a little excusey, but I'm
Speaker 2: not crazy worried about it. I do think this is
Speaker 2: that rough patch, like it's a long season. He's pushing
Speaker 2: on a lot more innings. Think of what happened last
Speaker 2: year into this. This is something I they could get
Speaker 2: through it. I'm buying even if there's one or two
Speaker 2: more bad starts in here. I ain't freaking out about it.
Speaker 2: He was rolling eats all night long last night, hits,
Speaker 2: earned runs and strikeouts. Still like he has a floor
Speaker 2: that we can get down. That's what I'm saying. He
Speaker 2: was rolling eight's all day long, runs and stuff. But
Speaker 2: the villa is down, which is more abnormal than anything.
Speaker 2: So I think this is this might just be like
Speaker 2: like a solid point him.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, if you want to make a play,
Speaker 1: this is your window, Yes, because the Vlow's down a
Speaker 1: little bit, bad start, this might be your one only
Speaker 1: shot all year to prize Spencer Strider away from somebody,
Speaker 1: So I will.
Speaker 2: Know we should do. I just thought of something, what
Speaker 2: should we do? This is a great idea. It's a
Speaker 2: great business idea.
Speaker 1: I love a great idea you and it's a business venture.
Speaker 2: The business venture like fantasy pro like they'll be overarching,
Speaker 2: but we're gonna take all the money. You and I
Speaker 2: will make videos for people, even if we don't believe it.
Speaker 2: We'll make videos down talking a player, and then then
Speaker 2: people like negative so Strider will be like Pitcher Strider's
Speaker 2: VLOS down blah blah. And then these people, then these
Speaker 2: people can take the video and send it to the
Speaker 2: person in their league that has the guy, and they'll
Speaker 2: be like, hey, look these guys said, and we'll just
Speaker 2: say information that it'll be.
Speaker 1: Really highly suspect though it's like, hey, look at the
Speaker 1: video I'm sending you of this player I want in
Speaker 1: a trade.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, okay, that's how trades work. Everyone's like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'd like that play see that.
Speaker 1: I've never ever crapped talk. I learned this lesson years ago.
Speaker 1: It is the dumbest thing. This goes back to that
Speaker 1: original conversation we're having about trading in the leagues. The
Speaker 1: dumbest thing you can do in any fantasy league is
Speaker 1: down play the player you're trying to trade for. You're
Speaker 1: an idiot. The whole reason you're trying to trade for
Speaker 1: that players because you think he has got valuab so
Speaker 1: don't even say nothing. Either the field speaks for itself
Speaker 1: or it doesn't. And if the yild doesn't speak for yourself,
Speaker 1: don't hit send.
Speaker 2: When somebody tries to. When when I see a novel,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't even care what this trade is.
Speaker 2: I'm going to reject it when I see a novel
Speaker 2: about why I should do this trade instantly out or
Speaker 2: of course, like you're saying when someone tries to tell
Speaker 2: you how bad this player is, that they want to
Speaker 2: get both of those things they can, But I'm just
Speaker 2: saying we might might be able to hustle.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Verlander, though, I found this tweet and it
Speaker 1: was incredible. I sent it to you.
Speaker 2: I saw it yesterday as well.
Speaker 1: This MLB E RA A leaders from last year. Okay,
Speaker 1: justin Verlander last year this time had a one to
Speaker 1: seven or actually, I guess finished finish with a one
Speaker 1: seven five Era, Urius two one six, Era, Dylan Sees
Speaker 1: two point two, Manoah two point two four, Sandial Contra
Speaker 1: two point two eight. Those same five guys Verlander four
Speaker 1: point eight five, Urius four point three nine, Cease four
Speaker 1: point sixty three, Minoa six point three seven, and Sandil
Speaker 1: contra five point zero seven. That is banana as well.
Speaker 2: Whoof But I don't know when the last time we
Speaker 2: saw that was. That turned real quick, real quick on
Speaker 2: them boys.
Speaker 1: I got nothing. I had nothing there except that what
Speaker 1: a difference a year makes? All right? Uh? You know
Speaker 1: what else can make a difference in your life? My life,
Speaker 1: winning some money, making some smart decisions. And the way
Speaker 1: you do that is price Picks. So download the app
Speaker 1: or go to prize picks dot com. Use the promo
Speaker 1: code leading off again one word leading off. It's all bold.
Speaker 1: On the YouTube channel you gets see leading off there.
Speaker 1: It's very easy to see and to get one hundred
Speaker 1: percent to posit a match up to one hundred bucks? Welsh?
Speaker 1: What do you have for the prize picking today?
Speaker 2: Who do I have for the prize picking? Let's go
Speaker 2: take a look. I have got no run. First inning
Speaker 2: Christian Xavier and Logan t Allen. That is number one
Speaker 2: on the prize picks. Next up Bryce Harper, total bases
Speaker 2: one point five and then I'm adding in this is
Speaker 2: a crazy one. This might have changed over the last
Speaker 2: day or so, but did you know that in the
Speaker 2: NL the leader in quality starts Marcus Stroman Marcus Stroman
Speaker 2: has been a dude man twenty nine point five on
Speaker 2: the fantasy points. I'm going to take the over so again,
Speaker 2: Javier Allen no run first inning, Harper one and a
Speaker 2: half total basis and Marcus Stroman fantasy scorer twenty nine
Speaker 2: point five. He has hit that in four straight games.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. All right, let's get to mine here. Actually, you
Speaker 1: know what, let's get through the betting because Welsh's prize
Speaker 1: picks are good. I want to talk about the betting
Speaker 1: here for a second, because again the heater has been going.
Speaker 1: I should have had the ramirrors yesterday. I'm sorry. I failed.
Speaker 1: Everybody should just just stay true, don't overthink it. Just
Speaker 1: just shame be in the zone. Screw up. There. Still
Speaker 1: got Wheeler, right, still got a couple other things right there,
Speaker 1: got the white tux on the money line, right, just saying,
Speaker 1: so here we go Minnesota on the money line plus
Speaker 1: one ten. You're getting even though on the road with
Speaker 1: Sunny Gray. I don't understand this at all. I'm heavy
Speaker 1: into Tyler Glass. Now, same game parlay today, you go
Speaker 1: the over on the seven and a half strikeouts today. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna go the over on that you're gonna go
Speaker 1: for the Rays to win this game, just all in
Speaker 1: investment wise on him, you darbish, I don't care if
Speaker 1: it's Colorado five and a half strikeouts on betting pros.
Speaker 1: You go ahead, you take San Diego, you take you
Speaker 1: darbish on the over five and a half. Put it
Speaker 1: together and if you want, you can also And basically
Speaker 1: Vegas is telling you what they expect at Fernando Tatists
Speaker 1: because you don't see this very often. You've got basically
Speaker 1: he's set up at like total base props of two
Speaker 1: and a half everywhere. So when you see the two
Speaker 1: and a half, that's usually like holy crap, like hold
Speaker 1: on to your socks because something's gonna happen. You can
Speaker 1: even go for the home run plus two twenty plus
Speaker 1: two thirty. You're getting it in that rain.
Speaker 2: It's such a garbage home run money too, but it
Speaker 2: tells you what.
Speaker 1: It tells you what's happening. You might even go for
Speaker 1: the multiple and kind of like whatever, put the RBI
Speaker 1: total the total base is the home run, like go
Speaker 1: for the full gamut here because if it's almost like
Speaker 1: a ladder bet NOI but if you get all of
Speaker 1: it right, and he has like a four for five night.
Speaker 1: It's cash Central, so Tatis glass Now individually, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm investing in. And speaking of investments, don't forget make

Speaker 2: go in, type in the little code and then bam,
Speaker 2: it is registered. We will see if I do that.

Speaker 1: That's where I want to go, and Soda has been
Speaker 1: red hot. I don't like him as much against the
