Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to fansy Bros.
Speaker 2: MLB.
Speaker 1: This is Leading Off Live, brought to you by that
Speaker 1: three six five. It is me, Joey p That of
Speaker 1: course is the Welsh, and it's you, and we have
Speaker 1: a fun day of baseball. We got some day games,
Speaker 1: we got some night games, we got some more weather here.
Speaker 1: The Mets are never gonna play again because it's just
Speaker 1: underwater in the New York City area. But I checked
Speaker 1: the weather yesterday, Welsh, before I made my home run
Speaker 1: call for the day. Mike Mayer, by the way, sat
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper yesterday in his league.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine sitting Bryce Harper.
Speaker 1: Oh, that must really hurt. In fact, maybe we should
Speaker 1: have a moment of silence here for Mike Mayor's fantasy
Speaker 1: team sitting Bryce Harper. Never sit your studs. I don't
Speaker 1: care if somebody on X says and you canna get
Speaker 1: the thing and I can to pay in the game today,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. You check the weather report with
Speaker 1: Uncle Joe. He'll take care of you. But Bryce Harper
Speaker 1: was pretty good, Let's start there, Welsh, because he was
Speaker 1: good not once, not twice, but three times. And I
Speaker 1: actually got to watch the first one live. I was
Speaker 1: gonna catch up on some Curby R Enthusiasm. But as
Speaker 1: soon as I sat down, guess what the Phillies game
Speaker 1: was on? I said, let me watch the first Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper at bat and I was a very happy boy.
Speaker 1: I got my homer. I turned over to Kirby your Enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: I came back and there was another homer, and then
Speaker 1: I get a text from Welsh which was hilarious, which is,
Speaker 1: You're gonna be unbearable tomorrow. And I look and I
Speaker 1: see the third one and a grand Slam and it's
Speaker 1: a thousandth run of his career. I was not a
Speaker 1: bad day for Bryce Harper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I was right. I was right.
Speaker 3: Guess what's at the tippy top of our show. I
Speaker 3: wish you guys could see our show sheet. You know
Speaker 3: what the headline of the show sheet is, Joe's amazing.
Speaker 3: Joe was correct. By the way, yesterday I was like,
Speaker 3: I was gonna take Harper, but I went against it.
Speaker 3: Let Joey take it. My Suzuki call completely down the drain.
Speaker 3: I went four and oh on best four day hot streak.
Speaker 3: But the headline Joey, Bryce, it felt like you hit
Speaker 3: the home runs.
Speaker 2: I thought you I felt like.
Speaker 1: I hit the home runs. I like I hit by
Speaker 1: the way. I'm on a hot streak too. I'm looking
Speaker 1: on my betting pros right now. I'm on a three
Speaker 1: day streak, so I'm right behind you there on the streaks.
Speaker 1: We look collectively. We're a team Welsh. There's no eye
Speaker 1: here in Welsh. There is none in Joey p There's
Speaker 1: no eye anywhere there. But yes, Suzuki goes yard, Harper
Speaker 1: goes yard. I got the flin start I was looking
Speaker 1: for on the plus money. We nailed that one. We
Speaker 1: nailed the Shane Bieber nine strikeouts against the Mariners. A
Speaker 1: great day for Shane Bieber. Bieber's back, Eflyn's back, Harper's back,
Speaker 1: We're back. It's a beautiful day. And you know who's
Speaker 1: killing major League baseball right now? Mookie Bets. He is
Speaker 1: just crushing life right now. Talk about a hot star
Speaker 1: for Mookie Bets two for five last night, a homer,
Speaker 1: nistel eleven, Ribby's eight walks, fourteen run, fourteen runs. This season.
Speaker 1: I know you had the two extra games in Korea,
Speaker 1: but still, I mean, no one else in either league
Speaker 1: has scored nine and this guy already has fourteen Welsh.
Speaker 1: What do you make of this incredible start to the
Speaker 1: season for.
Speaker 3: Mookie, Well, i'll tell you what, Like he has been
Speaker 3: lock locked in. I had this big old conversation in
Speaker 3: the off season because I had Mooki over Carol and
Speaker 3: then I would like change it back and keep going.
Speaker 3: And Mookie has lived up to it so much. So
Speaker 3: do you remember last year when there was like that
Speaker 3: bet like halfway through the year that was like okunya
Speaker 3: or the field, Well, the field would be playing right
Speaker 3: now because on some books Mookie Bets has moved it's
Speaker 3: five game whatever, but has moved to the betting favorite
Speaker 3: for MVP in the NL.
Speaker 2: I actually don't hate it.
Speaker 3: It's not the time to bet him now because now
Speaker 3: one I'm looking at he's plus four to fifty. Akutney
Speaker 3: is at six to one, so it might be a
Speaker 3: coonie if you want to jump back in that market.
Speaker 3: But Mooki Bets has moved to the odds on favorite.
Speaker 3: The homers have been unreal. He's locked in. The RBI
Speaker 3: numbers are always kind of dicey because the guy's going
Speaker 3: to lead off, but he has been one of the
Speaker 3: most prolific hitters so far to start the year, and
Speaker 3: he's paying off fantasy owners at shortstop, maybe at second
Speaker 3: base out. I mean, you know, all the position qualifications
Speaker 3: are amazing for him. He's a perennial like he's not
Speaker 3: a Kunya. Like we had that discussion in the offseason too,
Speaker 3: remember the projections thing with the fantasy pros people where
Speaker 3: it was like, listen Otani is two players, but Mooki,
Speaker 3: But Ronald Acunya performed last year like two players, like
Speaker 3: two fantasy players. So he's still in his own world.
Speaker 3: But Mooki is pushing that boundary right now, and if
Speaker 3: he keeps this up, he will get that. But I
Speaker 3: will throw out to people if there wasn't a time
Speaker 3: to bet Ronald d'acunya right now.
Speaker 1: Is oh yeah, now it's time to get back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I see the Peanuts and the Cracker
Speaker 1: Jacks here are a live and very excited Uh. Here's
Speaker 1: biz and Rizza saying Mike Marris should be forced to
Speaker 1: drop Harper as a punishedmle.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 1: I like that one a lot. Donnie c of course,
Speaker 1: cousin Donnie's saying Mets might not be able to lose
Speaker 1: if they don't play, that's true. Can't lose if you
Speaker 1: don't play, that's true. That's kind of like a w
Speaker 1: right there, And everybody wants to know where's that hat
Speaker 1: from that you're wearing today, because it is a very
Speaker 1: cool one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, our boy Jesse, if you want to put put
Speaker 3: the comment of Jesse all, this is the Columbus Clippers.
Speaker 3: It's it's one of the variants. I thought it was
Speaker 3: called the like it was a Valero one. But he
Speaker 3: said the copa day whatever?
Speaker 1: That copa day what Welsh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I'm not. I don't want to.
Speaker 3: I already sound stupid, so I don't want to say
Speaker 3: diver Yeah, there you go, you say diversion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that's I don't think that's the name.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the name.
Speaker 1: I believe it is. I'm saying it properly. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel pretty good about that one.
Speaker 2: It's just cool. It's a skull cool, but it is.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a Cleveland Minor League variation hat.
Speaker 1: You know who's cool right now? Well, maybe cold is
Speaker 1: the better word for it. Logan web tagged for five
Speaker 1: runs three and two thirds innings against the Dodgers. Now, look,
Speaker 1: it was against the Dodgers, okay. But but on the
Speaker 1: last episode we did, it was an audio only pod
Speaker 1: we did about the spring training risers and followers, and
Speaker 1: I threw Logan Web on there as my father and
Speaker 1: I I said, look, probably I'm overreacting to this. It's
Speaker 1: not a big deal, but man, he's getting hit around
Speaker 1: the ballpark, and man, it doesn't look very good. Man,
Speaker 1: that era is high. Maybe he's just working through some things.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to overreact, but it
Speaker 1: was something where I said, you know, I'm circling this
Speaker 1: and any late drafts. Maybe you don't overpay for Logan Web.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the best way to put it. Not a
Speaker 1: great start for him, any concerned here on the Logan
Speaker 1: Web front, after what was a pretty bad outing against
Speaker 1: the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna look this up.
Speaker 3: Well, Man, for swing and whiffs, he had total he
Speaker 3: had a thirteen percent swing and whiff rate. He was
Speaker 3: just getting absolutely nothing on ninety six pitches. But CSW
Speaker 3: was still kind of there. That's called strikes and wiff.
Speaker 3: So he just wasn't getting whiffs in this. Here's what
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: For next week.
Speaker 3: I will probably put Logan Web on this list because
Speaker 3: you are carrying over the spring worries to this season.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna probably put him on the trade four.
Speaker 3: List because this is the Dodgers't him going up against
Speaker 3: the Rockies and getting schalacked and not getting whiffs.
Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: We just said the MVP front runner right now, Mookie Betts.
Speaker 3: I'm not really worried about it. The stuff is still
Speaker 3: your over year the same, no big crazy spin variations.
Speaker 2: It's early in the year.
Speaker 3: We give a lot of other people, you know, some leeway.
Speaker 3: I'm going to give Logan Web leeway. And these are
Speaker 3: the things I did the video about Zach Callen.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 3: Zach Allen performed well in his first but the underlying
Speaker 3: stuff stunk. He's kind of the same Last night against
Speaker 3: the Yankees, his stuff looked he looked off, but he
Speaker 3: performed well and the stats were there. So maybe that
Speaker 3: you know, up and down people scared is kind of
Speaker 3: moving away. This is going to create more of that
Speaker 3: worry for Logan Web. And these are the situations. The
Speaker 3: whole point of that is that I'm going to try
Speaker 3: to take advantage of and I will go buy Logan
Speaker 3: Web if people are selling.
Speaker 1: I would agree. I mean that it's the Dodgers. I
Speaker 1: think that's what I keep coming back. Yeah, it's the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: So let's let's not get out of shape on that one.
Speaker 1: I think that's the way to go on that one.
Speaker 1: Michael Kopek, Remember we talked about him towards the end
Speaker 1: of the season of spring and we said, hey, moving
Speaker 1: to the bullpen not a bad thing. First career save
Speaker 1: and White Sox aren't gonna win a lot of games.
Speaker 1: But he did throw one in two thirds innings, so
Speaker 1: it was a little bit longer of an outing, but
Speaker 1: still save as a save as a save. So this
Speaker 1: is good here, Michael Kopek hopefully working in some high
Speaker 1: leverage situations as the season goes on. It's the right call.
Speaker 1: It's where he should be. There's nothing wrong with making
Speaker 1: Michael Copek a closer and he could be a very
Speaker 1: good one for the White Sox in this rebuild, or
Speaker 1: a trade chip where somebody else takes him off your hands.
Speaker 1: The next thing you know, you can continue to get
Speaker 1: more prospects. Zach Gallan Struck out six and six innings
Speaker 1: combined with three relievers on a shutout. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about Zach Gallen for a second, because he was in
Speaker 1: your recent post on the social media side on our instagram.
Speaker 1: By the way, you can go check out our Instagram
Speaker 1: page Fantasy Rose MLB. Well shot a little social video
Speaker 1: up there about Gallen. You're kind of more in the Hey,
Speaker 1: go get Gallen. Gallen's gonna be okay. I'm more in
Speaker 1: the I'm a little concerned I feel. Is that accurate
Speaker 1: or no? Are you a little bit more where I am?
Speaker 3: I'm a little bit country and I'm a little bit
Speaker 3: rock and roll If I'm being honest here.
Speaker 2: It's funny because actually, somebody I love about you. I know,
Speaker 2: that's what everybody always loves. That's what they think.
Speaker 3: They're like, oh, this country and rock and roll guys.
Speaker 3: I had some people that didn't watch the video and
Speaker 3: that we're commenting online. They went at my buddies in
Speaker 3: CBS being like, hey, there's analysts that don't like Zach
Speaker 3: Gallen and are selling and then they tagged me and
Speaker 3: I was like, no, no, you didn't watch the video
Speaker 3: because I actually presented the video on both sides and then.
Speaker 2: You did you pick?
Speaker 3: And I said you picked in the comments it was
Speaker 3: me not taking a side.
Speaker 2: Here here's the positive.
Speaker 3: This start was good statistically, but the bad stuff is
Speaker 3: still there. You'll talk about Logan web for swinging whiffs
Speaker 3: for Zach Gallen, that's not good.
Speaker 2: The velo is still down.
Speaker 3: He did not get any whiffs again, they called strikes
Speaker 3: and whiffs were down.
Speaker 2: He's not commanding this time.
Speaker 3: Every single pitch did have a fifty percent zone rate,
Speaker 3: which was a little bit better, but he was getting
Speaker 3: away with you plays bad calls on Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2: I am worried a little.
Speaker 3: Bit about Zach Gallon, but I don't know if I'm
Speaker 3: worried that, you know, the stuff is going to come
Speaker 3: down and he's like, you know, the Bieber thing a
Speaker 3: couple years ago when he had like two miles poor loss.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm worried in that degree that
Speaker 3: he's falling apart as a picture these two starts. I'm
Speaker 3: worried that maybe that toll of the innings last year
Speaker 3: and going to the World Series really is playing something obviously,
Speaker 3: because he looks he looks lost.
Speaker 2: All of that.
Speaker 3: To say, I still would probably buy right now because
Speaker 3: this is what he does. He gets into these funks,
Speaker 3: he finds himself. He's a command based pitcher. He had
Speaker 3: a lot better command in this, but the stuff was
Speaker 3: kind of wonky and not Penguin. So I'm still like
Speaker 3: a bye on him. But I do think it's open
Speaker 3: for interpretation. You know what, I'm more worried about Gallon
Speaker 3: than I am Logan Web.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair. I mean the two forty three, I
Speaker 1: can't it's the number I can't get out of my
Speaker 1: head for Gallen because I just don't know if he's
Speaker 1: built for that yet. And maybe I'm wrong, maybe he
Speaker 1: will be built for it. One guy who's been built
Speaker 1: for success so far, Garrett Crochet. Let's talk about him.
Speaker 1: Eight strikeouts, one run, seven innings against the Braves, Like
Speaker 1: that's not some punging Judy line. I's got another start
Speaker 1: later in the week coming up. So look, Crochet's got
Speaker 1: off to a great start. You know, I was. I
Speaker 1: was mixed because I watched them pitched in spring, and
Speaker 1: they were things I liked when I saw Crochet and
Speaker 1: some things that I did not like. It's been a
Speaker 1: really good start to the season for him. How do
Speaker 1: you evaluate this and he is he one of these
Speaker 1: guys that you pick up or you picked up and
Speaker 1: now you're loving life. Everything is great, and maybe you
Speaker 1: start to sell high on him as he gets more
Speaker 1: time around the league.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, well, I think any of these, like
Speaker 3: younger pitchers, you can always look at guys and you
Speaker 3: can say, you know what, what what is the crazy
Speaker 3: scope of it? Jared Jones is one that I put
Speaker 3: on there, like if people are going absolutely bonkers and
Speaker 3: you know, you could get logan web for Garrett Crochet
Speaker 3: and like a little other piece. Yeah, sure, absolutely. The
Speaker 3: thing I will say about Crochet I haven't quite decided
Speaker 3: yet is sometimes you'll see guys early on that have
Speaker 3: like decent fastballs. They'll just kind of pop and until
Speaker 3: the league catches up to him and he has an
Speaker 3: incredible fast He was hitting ninety nine with it. He's
Speaker 3: averaging on the year ninety six, just around essentially ninety seven.
Speaker 3: He was a little bit down in this last start.
Speaker 3: He had nine whiffs thirty six percent whiff rate on
Speaker 3: this pitch, which was awesome. The thing that he's adding
Speaker 3: into it though, is the slider cutter. He's not really
Speaker 3: throwing a change up, so there's not insane velo deviation,
Speaker 3: but still the slider is solid. Those both had forty
Speaker 3: percent whiff rates. Those both both had really high csws,
Speaker 3: and they were all commanded over fifty percent in the zone.
Speaker 3: So what I'm saying is is sometimes I'm trying to
Speaker 3: remember what the guy was. He might have met Eric
Speaker 3: Lauer from like a year or two ago, who had
Speaker 3: just this incredible fastball getting all the whiffs, and it's like, dude,
Speaker 3: he has nothing else, He's gonna blow up.
Speaker 2: That's not what Crochet is.
Speaker 3: He's got an incredible fastball and he's got two secondaries
Speaker 3: that are continuously getting whiffs. I think Garrett Crochet can continue.
Speaker 3: The leg thing sometimes can be bad for some of
Speaker 3: these pitchers. We saw it happen with McKenzie Gore. The
Speaker 3: timing mechanism is perfect. He's been a starter at Tennessee
Speaker 3: when he did it. Actually think the stuff is enough
Speaker 3: that he's on a garbage team. But Garrett Crochet legit
Speaker 3: could be like a top thirty five forty sp for
Speaker 3: the year, So I don't think it's gonna be worth
Speaker 3: trading him, at least on the White Sox.
Speaker 1: Even on the White Sox, I think with the run support,
Speaker 1: and if you were a brave, I think that stuff
Speaker 1: could be a top twenty as well. But he's not.
Speaker 1: He's a white Soze.
Speaker 2: And that's why I said, like top forty like his stuff.
Speaker 2: Someone would probably argue with me, like what are you
Speaker 2: talk good about? Like if he continues this, he'll be
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But to Joe's point, bad defense, bad offense, bad every day, a.
Speaker 1: Lot of things, and that stuff piles up, and you say, well,
Speaker 1: how much is a pile up? Well, it's a difference
Speaker 1: between you going like, you know, six scoreless innings and
Speaker 1: looking really good and the difference of you going like
Speaker 1: five innings some days and getting no decisions because they
Speaker 1: don't score runs for you or there's an error in
Speaker 1: the field. The next thing you know, now there he's working.
Speaker 1: He's got you know, one hundred and ten pitches in
Speaker 1: you know, four and two thirds because he's working through
Speaker 1: things because more guys are on base that shouldn't be
Speaker 1: so all those things do come to fruition. It's a
Speaker 1: gray star for Crochet. He's looked tremendous, a tremendous performance yesterday,
Speaker 1: not taking anything away from it, but he's definitely gonna
Speaker 1: be one of the guys I'm circling and watching in April.
Speaker 2: And you're trying to sell it.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're trying to sell I would, I would
Speaker 1: sell high on him.
Speaker 2: But what is that I'm trying to think of the
Speaker 2: name for you.
Speaker 1: A good question, that's a good question. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know if this is out of bounds,
Speaker 1: but I mean Verlander returning like people weren't wondering about
Speaker 1: when that's gonna be. Is it gonna be soon? Would
Speaker 1: you take this young hot picture right now? That's that's
Speaker 1: looking great for the old forty year old Verlander, you
Speaker 1: know what I think, which, by the way, is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies, four year old Verlander.
Speaker 2: For forty year old Verlander, you're putting the Justin on
Speaker 2: the pedestal. That's always the problem. The problem is this.
Speaker 3: I think we're I think we're in this like this
Speaker 3: like middle zone right now where he's really exciting. People
Speaker 3: are picking him up off the waivers. He's doing good stuff,
Speaker 3: but he's still like people are asking in the chat,
Speaker 3: how many innings he's a white SOX don't. Don't I
Speaker 3: get equations to you, just hold I don't think you
Speaker 3: can sell high enough yet, and I don't.
Speaker 2: I just don't think it works right now.
Speaker 3: If he pulls together two, a couple more starts, then
Speaker 3: we can start talking about like sure, oh believe me.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it today. I'm saying if you've got
Speaker 1: him at the end of April, you evaluate it and say, look,
Speaker 1: how good was he in April? Is that the best
Speaker 1: I'm going to get out of him? And if so,
Speaker 1: then you think about putting him together and see you
Speaker 1: can get something out of him. Look if you use
Speaker 1: great in April and you got Max Suers are returning
Speaker 1: to the Rangers June first, would you make that move
Speaker 1: and just kind of coast and go through May I
Speaker 1: think I might. I think I might, And I think
Speaker 1: it might be one of these things where you are
Speaker 1: looking at some of the older pitchers returning, and I
Speaker 1: know that scares people, but youth and skill is no
Speaker 1: match for old age and treachery at the end of
Speaker 1: the day. Also, if you're making sure you're making investments,

Speaker 1: Noan Jones in a second. There, big dance, We see
Speaker 1: you before we do a little bit of fun off.
Speaker 1: You saw this yesterday by Buckson almost got killed by
Speaker 1: a sausage in Milwaukee. The sausage races were going on,
Speaker 1: and Byron Buckson was trying to get on the field
Speaker 1: and the sausage races was happening, and all I kept
Speaker 1: thinking about was, oh my god, this would be the
Speaker 1: most Buxton of all Buckston injuries possible, getting run over
Speaker 1: by his sausage. And there was a moment with his
Speaker 1: leg when the legs almost got hooked there from the
Speaker 1: sausage person running in the sausage races and Byron Buckston
Speaker 1: literally like a ten second, not even like a three
Speaker 1: second difference, and I just I couldn't believe what I
Speaker 1: was seeing. It was terrifying, It was hilarious, also kind
Speaker 1: of interesting. Joey Bart acquired by the pirates over there,
Speaker 1: so Austin Strickland goes back in that deal. Joey bart
Speaker 1: An his second life in Pittsburgh, or you're just not
Speaker 1: even paying attention to this.
Speaker 2: No, I mean they just need depth. I think, God,
Speaker 2: who who the hell was them?
Speaker 1: I think got Henry Davis, who was a catcher in
Speaker 1: a movie.
Speaker 3: He's the guy, but they had a veteran backup. I'm
Speaker 3: completely drawing a blank of who they signed.
Speaker 2: But he's injured. Yeah, no, I don't bet Tolly.
Speaker 1: Penya could still catch right now. He's probably like sixty
Speaker 1: four years old, but he gets still catch it.
Speaker 3: I think catching is I think one of the worst
Speaker 3: toll if you look at all of sports obviously, like
Speaker 3: I think like all of offensive linemen defensive linemen, like
Speaker 3: that's probably physical offensive limon getting just boom every single
Speaker 3: play is the worst.
Speaker 2: But catching, I'm four, I've been down now one time
Speaker 2: and my legs are done.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine you make a sound every time you
Speaker 1: be doing I'm like, yeah, there's always a grunt now.
Speaker 3: And yeah, grand all that's the catch. He has many grands.
Speaker 3: He's been banged up, But no, Joey bart not.
Speaker 1: For how about this fun in Pittsburgh. Yesterday we did
Speaker 1: get the conversation about snacks. Pittsburgh's got a new one.
Speaker 1: Have you seen this, Welsh? The pirates have a foot
Speaker 1: long Parogi pot roast hot dog. Oh so it's a
Speaker 1: hot dog with pot roast and parogis on top of it.
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, I think I would give
Speaker 1: this a shot. I love parogies, I love hot dogs.
Speaker 1: The pot roast I'm about burying.
Speaker 3: The other thing on it is that are those pickles
Speaker 3: that are are those cucumbers that are just.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Those look like I would say, no pickles. That's where
Speaker 1: I draw the line. I'm not a pickle person. No pickles.
Speaker 1: But I want to know, is everybody want.
Speaker 2: To eat that AI generated?
Speaker 1: It's not this is not AI generated. This is the
Speaker 1: actual Nope, this is the actual thing here Perogi pot
Speaker 1: roast hot dog, which is just fun to say you're
Speaker 1: a Perogi pot roast hot dog Welsh. Uh, it sounds
Speaker 1: like an insult from the Sandlot movie, but anyway, it's real.
Speaker 1: Would you eat it? That's the question I want to
Speaker 1: know from the chats, so I don't know. Uh. Someone
Speaker 1: saying Scott saying too much, Mike saying, got to do it.
Speaker 1: Of course Angelo would grab one. We all know Angela
Speaker 1: would definitely grab one. Angela, you know, And Donny C says,
Speaker 1: no pickle, pickles.
Speaker 2: Your rainbow cookie in egg whatever I know looks awful.
Speaker 1: Well, it's more of an Italian thing, the rainbow cookies,
Speaker 1: so I don't expect you to be familiar with them.
Speaker 1: It's more of the New York You know, they're delicious cookies.
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, it's like it's like
Speaker 1: a fried oreo basically.
Speaker 2: You know, it looks great wrapped in eggs. So I'm
Speaker 2: being sarcathlic.
Speaker 3: It's disgusting, Like I would love for these places just
Speaker 3: start making food that looks good. There there's a chef
Speaker 3: in there that's like, I hate my life and screw
Speaker 3: these people. And I'm gonna make a seventy dollars perogi,
Speaker 3: pot roast, pickled sand Make something that looks good. Show
Speaker 3: somebody show me. That's gonna be the test the rest
Speaker 3: of the week.
Speaker 2: Show me something that you're gonna upset the Italians.
Speaker 1: You already, cousin Donni's already upset about the rainbow rainbow
Speaker 1: cookies are a leak cookies.
Speaker 2: Listen, that's finely.
Speaker 3: I've never had a I'm not complaining about the rainbow cookie.
Speaker 3: I'm complaining it's wrapped in a Friday or in a Friday.
Speaker 1: It's not a fright egg. It's a it's a it's
Speaker 1: in a wrapper, it's in a it's Come on.
Speaker 2: Man, Why is all food discussed like making food that
Speaker 2: looks good? Everyone's some egg roll.
Speaker 1: It doesn't have like my odd filled egg. You can right,
Speaker 1: look all it is. It's a facilitator. It's you could
Speaker 1: put buffalo chicken in there. You could put you know,
Speaker 1: sweets in there, savory things in there. All the egg
Speaker 1: roll rapper is is a is a vehicle to hold
Speaker 1: fun stuff. That's it. That's all it is. Just like
Speaker 1: just like Fantasy Bros. MLB channel is a vehicle to
Speaker 1: hold us.
Speaker 2: That's where we go.
Speaker 1: Or let's get to the rookie. Lookie, Mason Miller struck
Speaker 1: out four scoreless ninth and tenth in ing's there for
Speaker 1: the Red Sox against the Red Sox. Excuse me, I
Speaker 1: guess you're for the A's Jackson Cherio big hit for
Speaker 1: him in a big spot with the bases loaded, dude
Speaker 1: orbi single he is. Crowd was really hyped for that.
Speaker 1: It was a great moment. He's a great moment, great
Speaker 1: bit of hitting time.
Speaker 2: He is so good right now. I text friend of
Speaker 2: the show, You're worried about him.
Speaker 1: You were like, ah, maybe maybe you don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe, Well, I was drafting him and I had him
Speaker 3: really high, but yes, I was worried the contact would
Speaker 3: be an issue. I text our friend of the show,
Speaker 3: Dennis Sidler, who hooked us up with that the Corbyn
Speaker 3: Carrol helmet last year. He has Jackson Cherio as a
Speaker 3: client and I just text him and I was like,
Speaker 3: he's so good, Like he's making such pro decisions already
Speaker 3: in his hitting. Not over I thought he might overstep
Speaker 3: a lot of things and over press.
Speaker 2: He's not.
Speaker 3: He he deserves to be leading off, he deserves to
Speaker 3: be at the tippy top of the lineup, and he
Speaker 3: really might prove to be, uh, you know, a huge.
Speaker 2: Get a huge, huge git this year.
Speaker 1: I love that moment too, because he really went the
Speaker 1: other way with that pitch. It was a you know,
Speaker 1: just put the ball in play kind of moment right
Speaker 1: faces loaded, put the ball in play, get at least
Speaker 1: a run in there, and he did that and it
Speaker 1: was great and plus everybody, you know, and the crowd
Speaker 1: was very excited. It was a big moment there. You know,
Speaker 1: all that stuff worked, so that was all very impressive.
Speaker 1: So nice job by Jackson Churia and now he should
Speaker 1: have something definitely said, you know, Churio's churros should be
Speaker 1: the sold everywhere. Oh yeah, I mean that was the
Speaker 1: easiest lifted.
Speaker 2: What are they gonna do? Dip it in in ketchup
Speaker 2: and barbecue sauce on.
Speaker 1: It in Philadelphia at a Mexican place that was really
Speaker 1: good that had chocolate inside, so inside the church that's chocolate,
Speaker 1: and it was unbelievable, like the gooey kind of oh
Speaker 1: so good diabetes. All right, let's get to the three
Speaker 1: up and three down. Marcelo Zoona had two ho runs,
Speaker 1: but who cares because Bryce Harper at three. Justin Turner
Speaker 1: went three for three with two doubles in a walk,
Speaker 1: and Cody Bellinger two for five with a dinger and
Speaker 1: two ribby's against the Rockies. Speaking of the Rockies, it's
Speaker 1: first guy to make the downs twice already, and it's
Speaker 1: a short season so far. Kyle Freeland. He's back again, folks.
Speaker 1: Seven runs on nine hits and three to third. But
Speaker 1: despite giving up seven runs, Welsh's or actually went down
Speaker 1: a little bit. So let that sink. Can you I've
Speaker 1: been saying this, and I know, you know, another unpopular
Speaker 1: opinion the Colorado Rockies organization cannot You're never going to
Speaker 1: win there. It's just never going to happen. No free
Speaker 1: agent pitchers are gonna come there. Young pitchers don't want
Speaker 1: to sign there. You're always gonna have this problem. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the special sauce is or what the
Speaker 1: formula is for the Rockies being relevant, but it's starting
Speaker 1: to feel like it's just never gonna happen. And I
Speaker 1: that I mean, I know they had some great moments
Speaker 1: back in the day with all the Raga and Bashett
Speaker 1: and all those guys where they just mashed teams into oblivion.
Speaker 1: I get that there was that little window with Matt
Speaker 1: Holliday that was pretty good. But outside that Welsh, it's
Speaker 1: just been brutal for the Rockies forever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be development, you know, like develop players
Speaker 3: that you don't have to go and give hundreds of
Speaker 3: millions of dollars for them to fail like Chris Bryant,
Speaker 3: it would be lower level development, which you know they
Speaker 3: got guys coming. Jordan Beck looks really good, Ade Lamador
Speaker 3: both players you could see this year. Zach Veen might
Speaker 3: be fine. They're trying to get some pitching. Chase Dolander
Speaker 3: was a top pitching prospect from last year's draft. But
Speaker 3: it's developing within the organization. And also not year after
Speaker 3: year playing guys like Ian Desmond over your top prospects or.
Speaker 1: Signing Daniel Murphy when you have two guys who can't
Speaker 1: play the enfield exactly. Like, that's the kind of stuff
Speaker 1: that just it blows my mind, but they keep doing it.
Speaker 1: Here's a question from a new subscriber, Anthony, Uh, you
Speaker 1: guys really help you with by draft. You're welcome, thanks
Speaker 1: for subscribing. Was wondering who would you start today in
Speaker 1: the utail spot, Vinnie Pasquentino or torkl Sin And Anthony says, thanks, Oh,
Speaker 1: you're leaving that to me. Who's gonna give you first
Speaker 1: crack at it? Yeah, I'm a magnetimus.
Speaker 2: I get at the not looking at the matchups.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Paso's got Corbyn Burns today and Spencer
Speaker 1: Torkelsen has Adrian Hauser tours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I said Torque was my default. I would
Speaker 2: go to.
Speaker 3: I go with the better player regardless. But yeah, it's
Speaker 3: the horrific matchup for Vinnie, So Torklesen.
Speaker 1: There you go, all right? Coming up next here. The
Speaker 1: injury report actually not so bad today, mostly positive stuff.
Speaker 1: Guys working their way back for a change. Walker Bueller
Speaker 1: makes another mind like rehab start on Saturday. Sonny Gray
Speaker 1: with the hamshring issue today, he's gonna make a double
Speaker 1: a star. He's gonna throw a simulated game. I should
Speaker 1: say not to start. Paul Seawald has the oblique issue
Speaker 1: he's dealing with. He's throwing from flat ground, so there
Speaker 1: you go from sixty feet. Jordan Romano threw a bullpen
Speaker 1: yesterday our newt bar Lars Neutbar zero for three with
Speaker 1: a ribby, and Tuesday's minor league rehab games, so he
Speaker 1: should be back maybe by the weekend, I would think.
Speaker 1: And that joey Otani is throwing from flat ground for
Speaker 1: those of you in dynasty leagues who care about him
Speaker 1: pitching again or throwing from sixty feet there, So guys
Speaker 1: working their way back. Nice day, of injuries to actually
Speaker 1: have something a little bit on the positive side. Well,
Speaker 1: speaking of positive, we were very positive yesterday on the bets,
Speaker 1: which means it's time for and hopefully we've got it
Speaker 1: this time. The best bets of the day. There you
Speaker 1: go with me, Joey p in the Welsh yesterday we
Speaker 1: were on fire on MLB. The only thing on mad
Speaker 1: is I did not bet my home run call Bryce
Speaker 1: harper Man.
Speaker 2: I almost did mine too, I almost mine, and I
Speaker 2: usually do.
Speaker 1: I just got busy with stuff, kids home from spring break.
Speaker 1: But today we're back at it. Some weather in some
Speaker 1: games you gotta worry about, but I love this one here.
Speaker 1: Yesterday we nailed that Tampa Bay one to two. On
Speaker 1: the upset. We had the positive money on Zach Eflin
Speaker 1: Chef's kiss. It was beautiful Seattle minus one and a
Speaker 1: half on the run line versus Cleveland today plus one
Speaker 1: third two is the number you're getting plus money on
Speaker 1: that for Seattle. George Kirby on the mound, speaking to
Speaker 1: George Kirby, we've got a prop on him too, but
Speaker 1: also Corbyn Burns depending on the weather here in this
Speaker 1: first game, six and a half strikeouts, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: the over here against the Kansas City Royals minus won
Speaker 1: ten and George Kirby over on the four and a
Speaker 1: half strikeouts. Now it's moved to five and a half,
Speaker 1: but this morning, wake up, the early bird gets the
Speaker 1: good line. Four and a half was the number on
Speaker 1: George Kirby this morning. It was glorious. Lock that in
Speaker 1: and I'm doing that same game. Parlay here with George
Speaker 1: Kirby over on the four and a half or the
Speaker 1: five and a half strikeouts whenever you want. With the
Speaker 1: Seattle run line minus one and a half, you put
Speaker 1: those two things together, you're getting more than two to
Speaker 1: one right now, You're getting somewhere around two forty to
Speaker 1: forty four. So Welsh, that's how I'm approaching today, Wednesday,
Speaker 1: the third. What are you looking for on the betting market?
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I'm gonna say I'm gonna try to be
Speaker 3: picky today because I yesterday I came right out the
Speaker 3: gates with my Renoald Lopez strikeout prop that one smashed.
Speaker 3: I don't feel as confident on some of those because
Speaker 3: they got really straight. I think with some of these
Speaker 3: k props, some of the players you would love to
Speaker 3: get Kirby already moving would have been one that I
Speaker 3: would take. So if you can sign find four and
Speaker 3: a half, you definitely should. So I'm actually not in
Speaker 3: the prop market at least for these bets. Follow on
Speaker 3: the betting pros app if you guys want to see
Speaker 3: any other bets that are added, which I probably will
Speaker 3: add a few more, and I'll tell you actually when
Speaker 3: I was sitting on but here are my three, and
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to act quick at least on two
Speaker 3: of these. I'm going to Atlanta and I'm taking their
Speaker 3: team total runs. Everything else with Atlanta is rough. The
Speaker 3: run line, the alt run lines, they're not great. Odds,
Speaker 3: everything you want to play not great. But if you
Speaker 3: can find the team total runs through the first five innings,
Speaker 3: you can go two and a half minus one twenty.
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good line for them to score three
Speaker 3: runs in the first five innings. So I'm with that
Speaker 3: second up, I've got San Diego. I'm taking the full
Speaker 3: game run line minus one and a half, and I'm
Speaker 3: getting plus money. With Joe Musgrove on on the docket,
Speaker 3: Zak Thompson also has been bad. I think there's gonna
Speaker 3: be some offense there. The bet I was kind of
Speaker 3: sitting and thinking about was total basis Fernando Tatis Junior.
Speaker 3: You can get right around even money. I think they're
Speaker 3: gonna score. So San Diego minus one and a half
Speaker 3: for plus money, and then I'm putting a little parlay together.
Speaker 3: It's a first five money line parlay. Atlanta and Boston
Speaker 3: can get plus one ten on bet three six five
Speaker 3: Pavetta I would have loved to pick his strikeout prop.
Speaker 3: It's seven and a half against the A's today, so
Speaker 3: I'm going with Boston for the win against the A's
Speaker 3: they stink. And I'm going with Atlanta first five though,
Speaker 3: so I'm betting on the starting pitchers parlay those for
Speaker 3: plus money.
Speaker 2: Those are my three bets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tricky day out there for sure on the betting slate,
Speaker 1: but we like all the things that were involved. And

Speaker 3: many suffered and struggled a little bit hit around two.
Speaker 3: Thirty tatis, hasn't AND i think he's gonna drop one.
