Speaker 2: Welcome and everybody to Fantasy Pros MLB. This is leading
Speaker 2: off live. It is me Joey, p Joepzapia, That of
Speaker 2: course is the Welsh with Papa Joe, and it's you
Speaker 2: the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks hanging out here talking
Speaker 2: baseball and a lot of injuries as well. Welsh. I
Speaker 2: don't know who is in charge of the MOLB schedule,
Speaker 2: but these day games in forty degree weather in Detroit,
Speaker 2: these April games in Colorado in early April, what are
Speaker 2: we doing here? Guys are hurt everywhere I have no
Speaker 2: idea why Major League Baseball can't just say, let's open
Speaker 2: up in the West Coast or controlled environments as much
Speaker 2: as we can try to limit all this stuff at
Speaker 2: least till we get towards the end of April. I
Speaker 2: don't know what's wrong. It's very easy. Everybody plays, everybody.
Speaker 2: It's not a it makes my head hurt. I might
Speaker 2: explode before the show starts.
Speaker 3: But what are you gonna do? Like what I mean,
Speaker 3: like no, no, but like there's only so many West
Speaker 3: Coast teams, there's like five or six the all MLB
Speaker 3: for the entire.
Speaker 2: Weather controlled most of the time this summer year, You've
Speaker 2: got Look, there's plenty of places you can play. And
Speaker 2: I understand everybody wants to have for their home opener. Okay, fine, whatever,
Speaker 2: that's great, except for the fact that you know, this
Speaker 2: cold weather stuff is not meant for these guys in
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. They're playing baseball in the forties and
Speaker 2: then they're going to other environments and every single person
Speaker 2: right now is on the IL.
Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, and outside of the injuries too,
Speaker 3: that's gonna be the big focus here. We just dodged
Speaker 3: maybe like one of the biggest injuries. I will say
Speaker 3: it is really important to kind of hit home the
Speaker 3: weather stuff and what can happen in like throughout April
Speaker 3: and obviously the late March in some of the effects
Speaker 3: of these guys, whether it's minor league guys kind of
Speaker 3: like underperforming or take for instance, you know, just some
Speaker 3: of these players that are just not used to it
Speaker 3: or just being bogged down, like like I have a
Speaker 3: particular player I'm avoiding getting with you guys and being
Speaker 3: like I am worried about Garrett Crochet. Garrett Crochet, I've
Speaker 3: watched all of his starts. He doesn't look great easton Lucas.
Speaker 3: Yesterday someone asked in the chat, like, hey, what do
Speaker 3: you think East and Lucas. He looked pretty good in
Speaker 3: the broadcasts that were like, man, you know, it's really
Speaker 3: really cold, as the coldest it's ever been in Boston,
Speaker 3: you know, and Crochet kind of can't make get the grip.
Speaker 3: But Easton Lucas looks great, and maybe there's something to that.
Speaker 3: But like you take the weather stuff and how Crochet
Speaker 3: has been battling these lives. A couple of matchups v
Speaker 3: lo Is down, He's not getting whiffs his pitch mix
Speaker 3: is weird. He's not throwing the change ups that could
Speaker 3: be weather related. And some of these early performances before
Speaker 3: we make these huge decisions, like man, I just don't
Speaker 3: like this guy or that weather is going to have
Speaker 3: a definite effect, and I'm keeping out of my brain
Speaker 3: before I freak out and get all crazy about Garrett
Speaker 3: Crochet and some of these underperform.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna get all I don't think we could.
Speaker 3: Avoid like Colorado, and maybe.
Speaker 2: Like, yes, we can avoid Colorado right now, we can
Speaker 2: avoid Detroit at one o'clock in the afternoon, Like I
Speaker 2: just I just don't understand what's going on here. Fisher
Speaker 2: King's got a question her Dynasty trade Roman Anthony for Schooble. Now,
Speaker 2: typically I like to have the position players, but I'll
Speaker 2: take Schooble in this one. This is this is zero
Speaker 2: chill for me.
Speaker 3: I'm not yeah, I'm not like the biggest like picture
Speaker 3: acquisition in Dynasty, especially the high end, but absolutely no
Speaker 3: doubt I would rather have Jerik Scuba right now.
Speaker 2: All right, So let's get into the headlines because we've
Speaker 2: got a lot of stuff to talk about today, and
Speaker 2: let's start with the Padres imploding. That's right, friend, No,
Speaker 2: Tatis a weird swing, so he has shoulder discomfort. Remember
Speaker 2: this is the shoulder that he's had surgeries on, so
Speaker 2: what could go wrong here? He says he's okay day
Speaker 2: to day for now more to come. Mike Schild told
Speaker 2: reporters after the game that a twenty six year old
Speaker 2: outfielder tweaked his surgical repared shoulder on a swing before
Speaker 2: reaggravating it, so we'll see what's going on. He was
Speaker 2: sliding and then it got worse. So I just I
Speaker 2: don't like the sound of this at all. And on
Speaker 2: top of it, krona Worth came out of the game
Speaker 2: too because he has some cramping issues. He couldn't even
Speaker 2: get to first base. And then Jackson Merril goes to
Speaker 2: the io with a hamstring string. So Michael Cally, our producer,
Speaker 2: is freaking out because it was a bad night for
Speaker 2: the Padres who have started off red hot.
Speaker 3: He's about to drop jays all over the place like
Speaker 3: in every they had been leading off with you like
Speaker 3: he's going to be in a panic motive. You also
Speaker 3: lost Tatis after Maryland cronin Worth getting hurt. It would
Speaker 3: have been really bad The maryl One kind of stings
Speaker 3: the tatist one. I think it's gonna give you like
Speaker 3: a tiny bit of a pause. You do need to
Speaker 3: pay attention to it. If already this early in the season,
Speaker 3: you know he had a slight tweak to a surgically
Speaker 3: repaired shoulder. That's actually not a good sign at all
Speaker 3: for the rest of the year because he is just
Speaker 3: a fast swing. It's kind of like with Corbing Carol,
Speaker 3: a lot of people assume that shoulder that or elbow shoulder,
Speaker 3: whatever one that he has such a fast swing and
Speaker 3: just such a big like turnback. There's so much momentum
Speaker 3: that it was affecting him all year. I kind of
Speaker 3: worry a little bit about that with Tatis. Definitely something
Speaker 3: to monitor. And to Mike Mayer, yes, Garrett Crochet was
Speaker 3: good in his last start, but two of the three,
Speaker 3: if you watch them, have been less than what you
Speaker 3: expect out of this incredible. So that's why I'm saying, like, yeah,
Speaker 3: he had eight innings, it was amazing and da da da,
Speaker 3: but like you know, two of the three, some of
Speaker 3: the stuff doesn't looked quite as good. But keeping in
Speaker 3: whether in some of those effects is keeping me a
Speaker 3: little bit safe. But maybe I'm just overreacting.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember last year because I remember Crochet.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm misremembering. It's very possible, but I seem like
Speaker 2: April last year was not good for him either, and
Speaker 2: it wasn't. I'm looking at it right now. I finally
Speaker 2: found it here, a five nine seven e RA in
Speaker 2: April for Garrett Crochet. So Garret Crochet, no like you?
Speaker 2: The cold Uh. He was pitching for the White Sox
Speaker 2: last year, slow start, but then on close stark guy.
Speaker 2: Whatever it is, but I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 2: The whip was okay. The strikeouts were there, forty seven strikeouts,
Speaker 2: but the ERA was five nine seven. Uh, it was
Speaker 2: not great. Obviously, he gave up seven home runs in
Speaker 2: that month too. It's more than he gave up in
Speaker 2: any other month by a by a lot.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's good. That's good info to throw.
Speaker 2: That's a little bit of a throwing there. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to respond to you.
Speaker 4: You did.
Speaker 2: Could you want to talk about Garrett Carter?
Speaker 3: I do. I kind of take but I will come
Speaker 3: on and mayors, thank you for the current ERI. What
Speaker 3: is mayarors problem?
Speaker 2: Mayor ma I woke up this morning. I was working
Speaker 2: on the show at six in the morning, and then
Speaker 2: I see a message from Mayor trolling me about my picks.
Speaker 3: For you got trolled. There's another one in there too,
Speaker 3: you got trolled a little bit more. What I would
Speaker 3: like to know in the chat is anybody at all
Speaker 3: worried long term for the season on Fernando Tatis Junior
Speaker 3: with him he dodged a bullet where great, he's having
Speaker 3: an insane season, but is there any new worry now
Speaker 3: that he's tweaked that and having the entire season in
Speaker 3: front of you, is that giving you pause? Or maybe
Speaker 3: even I could see people wanting to come off of him.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I am quite yet, but this
Speaker 3: has definitely sparked something in me. Like Mike just said, yes, worried?
Speaker 3: Let us know YouTube in the comments or live on
Speaker 3: the mombar here on twitch.
Speaker 2: Sure surgically a pred shoulder. Yeah, I'm I'm always worried.
Speaker 2: And I watched it. It didn't look great, like you could
Speaker 2: tell he was in pain, so we'll see big strikeouts.
Speaker 2: That was also a headline from yesterday. We had col
Speaker 2: Reagan's look fantastic eleven strikeouts for him. Clay Holmes ten
Speaker 2: strikeouts against the Marlins out. The Mets pitchers are really
Speaker 2: just eat up the Marlins. The Marlins young manager, too,
Speaker 2: is terrible, like he is. The broadcast, the Mets broadcast,
Speaker 2: if anybody's been watching, is just crushing this Marlins new manager.
Speaker 2: He is a rookie manager. He is setting up guys
Speaker 2: in weird positions. He's he seems all out of whack
Speaker 2: with where to defend people. And you should have the
Speaker 2: infield in when they should be in double play depth.
Speaker 2: The whole thing seems like a hot mess right now.
Speaker 2: So although the Mets pitching staff looks terrific, they have
Speaker 2: played the Marlins a lot. I know, they played the
Speaker 2: Jays two. That's a good lineup. They played the Astros two.
Speaker 2: That's fine. But let's not get too crazy with how
Speaker 2: great this Mets pitching staff. But a nice bounce back
Speaker 2: performance for Clay Holmes. Some good wood yesterday from James
Speaker 2: Wood three for five, two homers, So huge day for
Speaker 2: James Wood. That's got to make those people in the
Speaker 2: James Wood investment space very happy.
Speaker 3: Welsh Oh me, yeah, hundred percent. You know, it's really funny.
Speaker 3: I was doing like a little live stream on my
Speaker 3: my little end this league twitch, and I was talking
Speaker 3: about James wood in that like I love everything about it,
Speaker 3: and there's still people that are really worried, rightfully so,
Speaker 3: because there's some stuff. But you know, the average was low.
Speaker 3: This game alone put him over two seventy five, twenty
Speaker 3: four percent barrel, sixty four percent hard hit rate, huge
Speaker 3: max ev he's walking and also, weirdly enough, this is
Speaker 3: the weirdest split so far, short sample size. He's hitting
Speaker 3: four to twelve against lefties, one seventy four against righty's.
Speaker 3: I wonder if that's going to change, and it's only
Speaker 3: going to make things better. You're not gonnait four hundred
Speaker 3: aast lefties, but you're also not going to hit sub
Speaker 3: two hundred against righty's as a left handed hitter. I
Speaker 3: just really like James would always have. You're seeing the
Speaker 3: big output of what he can possibly do and his
Speaker 3: ability even though he does strike out to hit lefties
Speaker 3: if it calms down a little bit, he's showing an
Speaker 3: elite skill set and it was I think it's going
Speaker 3: to be a big payoff of acquiring and investing into
Speaker 3: James woodarly in the year.
Speaker 2: All right. Zach Vien made his debut one for four.
Speaker 2: It was a bunt single, So good on Zach Vien. Well,
Speaker 2: I would have been leagues.
Speaker 3: I think it should have been minus money that his
Speaker 3: first hit was going to be something ridiculous like fun.
Speaker 2: I would have bet that. I totally see it, all right.
Speaker 2: There was on pitching duds too. I was invested in
Speaker 2: the under, and by the third inning that got blown up.
Speaker 2: Chris Sale got beat around five runs, four and two thirds,
Speaker 2: so not a good start for him. Again, Braves continued
Speaker 2: to look weird. Zach Wheeler also struggled, So there you go.
Speaker 2: He was terrible. Five runs on eight hits and five
Speaker 2: and a third innings at work. So so much for
Speaker 2: the under in that game, So much for all the
Speaker 2: fantastic starting pitchers that were on the slate yesterday. We'll
Speaker 2: get the Schemes performance later in the show because he
Speaker 2: stunk it up too, So there you go. Not too
Speaker 2: much movement there in the National League, young Grays, because
Speaker 2: everybody basically stunk yesterday. But when you've got all these
Speaker 2: injuries and the things we're talking about here, you need
Speaker 2: something like my playbook to keep you up to date
Speaker 2: with all the player news for your specific teams. Right,
Speaker 2: it's gonna recommend players to you, recommend decisions for your lineup.
Speaker 2: And of course the best thing is you've got multiple leagues.
Speaker 2: You can set all your lineups from one spot on
Speaker 2: my playbooks to go to Fantasypros dot com slash MLB
Speaker 2: my playbook today, download the Fantasy Baseball My Playbook app too.
Speaker 2: That's easier. That's the way to do it. That way,
Speaker 2: you can get custom Fantasy Baseball news, rankings and analysis
Speaker 2: for your teams and dominate your competition. Welsh, we are
Speaker 2: pushing subs every single week here. We're gonna do some
Speaker 2: fun stuff here because the subs are coming, get fast
Speaker 2: and furious. Let's shout out some newbies here joining us
Speaker 2: on Twitch dot tv slash Fantasy Pros live today and
Speaker 2: every day Monday through Friday noon Eastern.
Speaker 3: Well they'll slow today, Radio Peppery most recent on the follows.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Radio. But as you mentioned, our goal
Speaker 3: is definitely get to that one hundred sub mark. You
Speaker 3: guys can do that with the Amazon Prime and followers
Speaker 3: are closing in on seven hundred. So I would say
Speaker 3: if we get to like I think the month goal
Speaker 3: should be let's call it one thousand followers and one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty five subs. I think if we get there,
Speaker 3: that would rock. But shout out to all the new people.
Speaker 3: And if you guys do the follows of the subs,
Speaker 3: we will give you those shoutouts. There you go.
Speaker 2: You could tell Welsh was never in sales, even if
Speaker 2: it's a slow sales that you say, oh I got
Speaker 2: so many, But you know, I think this one, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna single out this guy because I like his screening
Speaker 2: whatever it is. See, you know, I spent time in sales.
Speaker 2: I hated it. I was good at it.
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to sell you. I'm trying to nerd out.
Speaker 3: Let me talk about barrel rates and hard hit percentages.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm selling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, fine, let's talk about some guys down
Speaker 2: on the farm, because there are some players still crushing life.
Speaker 2: And I know it feels that we talk about these
Speaker 2: guys all the time, well because every day they do
Speaker 2: something else awesome. So Jack kag Leon, if you haven't
Speaker 2: seen this one, a one to eleven exit Vilo home
Speaker 2: run four hundred and sixty eight feet. It's on the
Speaker 2: front page of MiLB this morning. When I woke up,
Speaker 2: I went over there to take a look at it. Boom,
Speaker 2: it was right there. Massive home run from kg leone.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how much longer they're gonna keep
Speaker 2: him down there. Nick Kurtz again, I know it's every day.
Speaker 2: We got this Nick Kurtz meter two for five, three
Speaker 2: run homer for trip A Las Vegas, and Tyler Soderstrom
Speaker 2: was removed yesterday with right calf tightness. So Welsh, you
Speaker 2: think there's an opening here.
Speaker 3: If he goes on the il, without question, they got
Speaker 3: to bring him up unless they're not trying to like
Speaker 3: start some clock or whatever. I can't do anything more.
Speaker 3: It's just a rinse and repeat conversation. We should cut
Speaker 3: it and we could just play it through again. It's
Speaker 3: like this, Nick Kurtz is the best triple A hitter
Speaker 3: right now. He can't play anything but first put Rooker
Speaker 3: in the outfield or soda Strom in the outfield, make
Speaker 3: room how else? I don't know. Only other thing is
Speaker 3: an injury. I would assume if Soda strim it doesn't
Speaker 3: look like this is going to be something serious. But
Speaker 3: if you were to hit the il, Nick Kurtz immediate pickup.
Speaker 3: And he's the type of guy too that no matter
Speaker 3: what he does, I'm sorry if he is dominant, I
Speaker 3: don't think no matter what happens after the fact, they
Speaker 3: would send him back down. If he comes up and
Speaker 3: he hits like three, if he just keeps a way
Speaker 3: to bomb or two, They're going to figure something out.
Speaker 3: But Nick Kurtz the reason we keep talking about him
Speaker 3: because he's going to be up soon. And I think,
Speaker 3: by the way, I think he's up before CAGs. I've
Speaker 3: said that before. I think Kaggs is more of a
Speaker 3: medeear guy, regardless he is in CAGs in double A.
Speaker 3: Nick Kurtz is in triple A.
Speaker 2: Though. Solar's got a question here. And it's funny because
Speaker 2: I just did this in our shallow league. Are we
Speaker 2: dropping causes for TORQ? Yes, and I did on Monday
Speaker 2: because I've had it, so I'm riding the wave in
Speaker 2: the shallow league. I'm willing to make that move. So
Speaker 2: I guess Harry did it. And here's another one BD
Speaker 2: with Francisco Alpaz close to you like Camra, Kybert Ruiz
Speaker 2: rest of Season Alpharez a thousand times, a thousand times
Speaker 2: not even close. So those are two easy moves you
Speaker 2: can make. Also potentially some openings too for this young man.
Speaker 2: Zebbie Matthews struck out nine, allowed two runs five innings
Speaker 2: on Tuesday and start at triple A. So Zebbie Matthew
Speaker 2: is another one too that's kind of scratching at the
Speaker 2: big league level. And Pablo Lopez had a little bit
Speaker 2: of a hamstring issue last night, so keep an eye
Speaker 2: on that situation. Do you think zeb would be that
Speaker 2: first call up? Because if so, I can see us
Speaker 2: on the waiver wire video tomorrow talking about stashing Zebie
Speaker 2: Matthews sooner than later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I think early in the year's
Speaker 3: a little question would it be David Festa or Zebbi?
Speaker 3: Zebbie like he's a big command I mean, he's just
Speaker 3: like these other guys, Like what are like Pablo and
Speaker 3: Joe Ryan, Like what do they do? They don't walk guys.
Speaker 3: You know they'll have some good strikeout and like that's
Speaker 3: who Zebby is and he can go deeper into game.
Speaker 3: So I do think Zebi would be that guy all right.
Speaker 2: Also, Bubba Chandler eight cas for him and four shoutout
Speaker 2: innings on Tuesday, so nice to see him having a
Speaker 2: good start. Let's talk about more things that are exciting. Oh,
Speaker 2: Wick's good.
Speaker 3: Well, I just wanted to say sure. I said this
Speaker 3: about Bubba Chandler and it literally hit fifty two pitches
Speaker 3: in his first start. I said, they're gonna they said,
Speaker 3: you know, Cap, They're going to build him up. I said,
Speaker 3: next start is going to go to sixty. This start
Speaker 3: sixty pitches, So next start will go probably to seventy,
Speaker 3: and that means after the next start he could come up,
Speaker 3: or it'll be one after. I personally think they goes
Speaker 3: seventy and then seventy five, So I think at least
Speaker 3: two more starts before he's viable to be called up
Speaker 3: if you are stashing Bubba Chandler, but they're running it
Speaker 3: right out.
Speaker 2: Some Kurts questions, So let's get to these. Bz weezy
Speaker 2: or be weezy, excuse me, Vien or Kurts would you
Speaker 2: rather have?
Speaker 3: I mean, I if Kurtz was up, I would want
Speaker 3: him over Veen, like without question. I know you're asking
Speaker 3: Veen right now. I'm not that enamored with Vien, but
Speaker 3: if you're.
Speaker 2: Not a star base Gus, then sure I'm team Kurtz
Speaker 2: on this one positive grouch with a question is just funny.
Speaker 2: I think it's just a troll. Are you saying Hurts
Speaker 2: or Kurts? I need some help with this, Pan Pan
Speaker 2: Pan Pan.
Speaker 3: You're saying pan.
Speaker 2: That's that's that's stupid, stupid name. Uh? You not like
Speaker 2: an idiot Ozuna for Kurtz in a Dynasty league, you're
Speaker 2: ready to pull that trigger on that one. O. Zuna
Speaker 2: could be at the end of his tail here a
Speaker 2: little bit still in a good season. I'm sure he's
Speaker 2: gonna be good this year. But in Dynasty, man, I
Speaker 2: think I want Kurts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, without like it, especially if you're not competing at all,
Speaker 3: Like that's a no brainer. Ozuna is like thirty six.
Speaker 3: Kurtz is gonna have, as you know, fifteen years probably
Speaker 3: in front of him, So no, as a little tougher
Speaker 3: if you're like a heavy competitive win Now team to
Speaker 3: trade a guy that you know probably has like top
Speaker 3: fifty bat upside for a guy like Kurtz. So we
Speaker 3: really just don't know and his blocked, but I probably
Speaker 3: still try to make that regardless.
Speaker 2: Fabby Davis Junior. Are we dropping Ventos now?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: If you're dropping Casus in a in a small ten
Speaker 3: man league, I think you can drop Vento's in that
Speaker 3: same one.
Speaker 2: Who are you dropping them for? I mean, first you
Speaker 2: have Rice ortorkal Sin, you have all those guys. I
Speaker 2: mean there's not a third base, so the third base.
Speaker 2: But that's the problem, the third base. I don't think
Speaker 2: you're doing that move. I just don't. It's just truld
Speaker 2: be worried about Santandero. Hold on, I'm holding on it.
Speaker 2: You know, new space, big contract, YadA, YadA. I don't
Speaker 2: have any concerns about that. And do we care about
Speaker 2: Nuelae Marte getting called up too because mclan goes in
Speaker 2: the io.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think it's interesting. Nouelvie strikeouts are low, He's
Speaker 3: stealing a bunch of bases. He had no homers, but
Speaker 3: he had six doubles in triple A so far. He
Speaker 3: has all the tools in the world. But I'm still
Speaker 3: worried about his pitch recognition and his ability to hit
Speaker 3: major league pitching. But guess what, he's still super young.
Speaker 3: You're going through that transitional period deeper leagues. I think
Speaker 3: he's worth testing the investment. Do I want to drop
Speaker 3: Vento's for Nowelvie, I don't know, maybe again in like
Speaker 3: a small small league, but I'm looking at newelvi in
Speaker 3: a little bit deeper. I do think he's worth the
Speaker 3: risk right now, just to see because they're not going
Speaker 3: to bring him up just for a lot.
Speaker 2: On Christian Conoscians to struggle too. So there you know.
Speaker 2: If he continues to perform poorly and Marte hits right away,
Speaker 2: maybe it was a reshuffling there of things with the
Speaker 2: Reds who buy the no, but it's I think it's
Speaker 2: more of a watch for me. No, bob noxious, do
Speaker 2: not drop Louis Robert in a twelve team had he
Speaker 2: had two steals yesterday? What are we doing? What are
Speaker 2: we doing? It's the ninth of April. I am salty today.
Speaker 2: All right, let's do three up and three down. Franber
Speaker 2: Valdez six shutout innings, eight k's against the Mariners, Frambur
Speaker 2: is a hell of a good picture. I just he
Speaker 2: just doesn't get enough credit. I love Frandbervaldez. Freddy Parolta
Speaker 2: got his first w of twenty twenty five. That's good news.
Speaker 2: Three he hits five innings of work, one run and
Speaker 2: he hit your k prop yesterday too. Oh oh short,
Speaker 2: that's right. Yeah, well I was right about that one.
Speaker 2: But you had Reagan's also yesterday, so you went over
Speaker 2: on that.
Speaker 3: Now, wait you betis I talked about Reagan's. I didn't
Speaker 3: bet it.
Speaker 2: Oh that sometimes talked about Reagan's, but you didn't bet it.
Speaker 2: And I was concerned about Freddy Parolta in Colorado going
Speaker 2: more than five innings, and what's what I'm getting.
Speaker 3: So listen, I went one and two on my bets
Speaker 3: on the show yesterday. But sometimes you just move past
Speaker 3: it because the process is good. Just real quick. Garrett
Speaker 3: crochet I had outs getting to six innings. He went
Speaker 3: five and two thirds, got a ground out Bregman error.
Speaker 3: Next play, Christian Campbell error. He doesn't get it. Put
Speaker 3: my hands up. Freddy Peralta had six strikeouts through four,
Speaker 3: doesn't get it through five, comes back. I'm sorry. After
Speaker 3: five eighty three pitches in the fifth inning are going
Speaker 3: into the sixth, they pull them. So they pulled them.
Speaker 3: With six strikeouts in eighty three pitch. My process was
Speaker 3: fine and it was there, but we didn't hit it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got up weather in the process with some
Speaker 2: of these bets, and actually some of My bets today
Speaker 2: are very heavy on some of the injuries that have happened,
Speaker 2: so I'm trying to take advantage of situations. So to
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarbury, yesterday you went three for three with a homer,
Speaker 2: a triple, three ribs, A big day for him against
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Braves. The Downs Dylan Cees another top pitcher,
Speaker 2: nine run nine nine times and four innings. Not good.
Speaker 2: Lost to the A's on Tuesday, Kyle Freeland, no surprise.
Speaker 2: There are five runs on eight hits and six and
Speaker 2: a third and Paul Skeen's a career high five runs.
Speaker 2: So it looks like Paul Skeen's is not invincible.
Speaker 3: After all, Welsh, nobody is invincible, No one is superhuman.
Speaker 3: Even though Paul Skeens does have a little Clark Kent
Speaker 3: Superman in him, still got a bunch of whiffs in
Speaker 3: this one. It was kind of a weird setup. Early on,
Speaker 3: I was on the Neurfy.
Speaker 2: This was my Paul Skeins mustache byther.
Speaker 3: We did cash. Oh yeah, yeah, it's very good. But
Speaker 3: you have to just like scowl all the time like
Speaker 3: nothing's ever like you have the best life on the planet.
Speaker 3: It's like Livy Dunn and you're the best picture, but
Speaker 3: like everything is kind of miserable. Fastball splitter split. It
Speaker 3: didn't get a ton of whiffs yesterday, only thirty percent.
Speaker 3: It was biting out of the zone a little bit.
Speaker 3: He went kind of heavy, sweeper, sinker went away. It's
Speaker 3: just kind of a weird start down. Velo is down
Speaker 3: a tiny bit. I think there's some cold factor in there.
Speaker 3: I don't read, you know, really anything into It was
Speaker 3: just one of those like rare bad starts for Paul Skins.
Speaker 3: But Paul Skin's bad starts don't usually look like Dylan
Speaker 3: Ceeses starts where you're getting obliterated. And just to point out,
Speaker 3: I saw someone say this. I don't think it was
Speaker 3: in the chat today, but someone was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: start treating that a stadium like Colorado. And to be
Speaker 3: fair with how the ball's flying, I'm sitting here thinking
Speaker 3: it ain't even summer yet. It ain't even one hundred
Speaker 3: and five when that ball is gonna really start flying out.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna have to see what the summer looks
Speaker 3: like when you get to that Sacramento stadium. But ball
Speaker 3: is flying out even further, So flyball pitchers gotta be
Speaker 3: a little bit careful.
Speaker 2: That's why I was so excited about Rooker and Butler
Speaker 2: and all these guys. So it show's been great.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Day had a good day yesterday too, which he needed
Speaker 2: to because he had been terrible. Nice breakout day for Bludet.
Speaker 2: We'll see how he continues to hit. Let's get to
Speaker 2: the injuries, because there is a ton This just happened
Speaker 2: before the show. Justin Steele fifteen day il left elbow tendinitis.
Speaker 2: That is officially what it is. That's not good. So
Speaker 2: that's a huge blow of the Cubs or a there
Speaker 2: Matt McLain. We mentioned before it was looking like maybe
Speaker 2: we would get him back there today. No, he just
Speaker 2: goes on the IL. But it's retroactive to the April fifth.
Speaker 2: It's a hamstring trend. They don't think it's serious, so
Speaker 2: they're hoping to get him back sooner than later. Whyatt
Speaker 2: Langford had a side issue again, undergoes an MRI today.
Speaker 2: We'll let you know tomorrow whatever the results of that are.
Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll have that in But he, if memory serves,
Speaker 2: had a bit of an oblique issue in the spring.
Speaker 2: Did he not white Langford. I want to say he did.
Speaker 3: I think it was something like that. He was held
Speaker 3: back for a little bit. He missed a decent kind
Speaker 3: of springtime. This one is really not good. I got
Speaker 3: him in our Fantasy pros Full Company league and I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh no, we don't have il spots like I don't
Speaker 3: want him to go down for too long because I'm
Speaker 3: gonna miss something. And you know what's weird too, he
Speaker 3: was playing decently well. So many of those Rangers are underperforming.
Speaker 3: It's crazy. We got our trade video out where we
Speaker 3: talked about two Rangers not even talking about like Adoli
Speaker 3: Scarcia's underlying profile is insane without results, so many guys
Speaker 3: are underperforming why it kind of wasn't and now he's
Speaker 3: hurt Boom.
Speaker 2: And now he's hurt also. Herd Pablo Lopez was removed
Speaker 2: Tuesday from the game against the Rows with a right
Speaker 2: hamstring titaness. You could see it definitely tightened up on him.
Speaker 2: Was not good. I'm sure we'll get more news on
Speaker 2: this in the days to come. I would be shocked
Speaker 2: if he didn't miss a start. I'd be even more
Speaker 2: shocked if he didn't go on the eel because it's April,
Speaker 2: and you might as well just let these guys figure
Speaker 2: it out, you know, bring up the Festas or the Matthews,
Speaker 2: whoever you're gonna have fill in that spot. And they
Speaker 2: would not also surprise me if Festa was the first
Speaker 2: guy to get the call anyway, just because he made
Speaker 2: a bunch of starts last year. Maybe they leave Zebby alone.
Speaker 2: But I still want to stash Zbbi because I think
Speaker 2: it's only a matter of time. That's that was a
Speaker 2: very good performance from him yesterday. Also, Tobias Myers made
Speaker 2: a minor league rehab start yesterday, so we'll keep an
Speaker 2: eye on him. He's returning, working his way back.
Speaker 3: So bad, so bad, Yes, I know, great, it's just bad.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell has been clear to resume throwing on Monday,
Speaker 2: so we'll keep an eye on that one. And Zach
Speaker 2: Eflin diagnosed with a right lat strain that's going to
Speaker 2: require a trip to the fifteen day. I L and
Speaker 2: Welsh we know these lot strains, these are long term injuries.
Speaker 2: This is a bad situation here for the Orioles.
Speaker 3: This is not good. I mean, I gotta tell you
Speaker 3: for you know, for a picture. It starts with elbow,
Speaker 3: but obleak is kind of like number two. You see
Speaker 3: that and you're like, here we go. Lat definitely not
Speaker 3: great f I don't like this for Eflyn whatsoever. Also
Speaker 3: to throw out there was a little bit of an
Speaker 3: update could tell Marte who went for an MRI. Tory
Speaker 3: Leavello said, they are definitely in the week's standpoint and
Speaker 3: he's probably gonna take a week or two to kind
Speaker 3: of recoup and then he's gonna have to play in
Speaker 3: some games. So kud tell Marte looking closer to I
Speaker 3: think a may return than anything else, not a light
Speaker 3: little easy injury or anything like that when he went
Speaker 3: for his MRI. Oh and also Victor Roeblis. We got
Speaker 3: official news on Victor Robliss yesterday that he had a
Speaker 3: fracture from a dislocated shoulder. Three months he's going to
Speaker 3: be out, oh and it would be six if he
Speaker 3: does not require So here's the thing. He doesn't require
Speaker 3: surgery at some point in this six weeks of nothing,
Speaker 3: then it's going to be a six week ramp up
Speaker 3: where he's going to be a complex and minor league.
Speaker 3: So three months for Victor Robless. Unfortunately, if you don't
Speaker 3: want to Iel it or you don't have it. You
Speaker 3: can cut bait, put them on the al if possible.
Speaker 3: But I mean three months, man, it's barely any production.
Speaker 3: It's an l for me. I'm a big victor robleist guy.
Speaker 3: But fracture in that dislocated shoulder is nasty.
Speaker 2: Out painful, also painful again this Efflin injury to this
Speaker 2: rotation for the Baltimore Ools, which brings us to this
Speaker 2: week's Chasing Challenges segment, brought to you by Microsoft. Just
Speaker 2: like the athletes who push boundaries and redefine what's possible,
Speaker 2: business decision makers today are turning challenges into opportunities and
Speaker 2: Microsoft meets you where you are with tools and guidance
Speaker 2: to help you make an impact with safe, secure AI solutions.
Speaker 2: So whatever challenge you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the
Speaker 2: expertise to say bring it on. And in this segment
Speaker 2: we spotlight the challenges faced by the Orioles pitching staff
Speaker 2: because guess what, it's ugly right now. You let Corbyn
Speaker 2: Burns walk. You could have thrown more money at him
Speaker 2: to stay. You have all these prospects like Kobe Mayo
Speaker 2: that you got no room for the inn at and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you could have dealt somebody like
Speaker 2: them in the offseason and maybe bring you a Garret Crochet.
Speaker 2: You didn't do that. What were you thinking, Orioles, because
Speaker 2: this is a problem. You were putting all your hopes
Speaker 2: and dreams on Grayson Rodriguez, who is a bright, young
Speaker 2: pitching prospect, but not a guy that's gone out there
Speaker 2: and throwing two hundred innings. You're trying to compete with
Speaker 2: the Yankees. You're trying to compete with the Red Sox,
Speaker 2: who are spending a ton of money this offseason. You're
Speaker 2: trying to compete with the Blue Jays, who looked much
Speaker 2: much improved year over year. Come on, Orioles, like I
Speaker 2: might just be taking one here and taking up the
Speaker 2: salvo for Ryan Warmley. I can't imagine how upset the
Speaker 2: worm is today about his Orioles looking at Zach Eflin
Speaker 2: being the ace of your rotation and somehow having dreams
Speaker 2: of being back in the playoffs. You are a playoff
Speaker 2: team last year. You crap the bet in the off season.
Speaker 2: You didn't bring enough starting pitching help in here. You
Speaker 2: brought in Charlie Morton, who's as old as me. Bad job,
Speaker 2: Baltimore Orioles. And now and now you're stuck because F
Speaker 2: one's gonna be out four months, not weeks, And now
Speaker 2: what is this rotation going to be? And you could
Speaker 2: see the Orioles fall out of things very quickly if
Speaker 2: they don't do something fast. So hopefully maybe they can
Speaker 2: turn some of these prospects into some pitching help immediately.
Speaker 2: And that's this week's Chasing Challenges segment. Remember Microsoft AI
Speaker 2: solutions are kinder than me and empower you to take
Speaker 2: bold steps and new ideas to help drive your business forward.

Speaker 2: journey with confidence, finding innovative solutions and reaching new possibilities.
Speaker 2: Visit Microsoft dot com slash challengers to learn more. All right,
Speaker 2: was they too tough on the Orioles just there? I
Speaker 2: don't think I was.
Speaker 3: No, I mean they we got the report yesterday that
Speaker 3: they only offered Corbyn Burns. I mean, you hate him,
Speaker 3: but four years I.
Speaker 2: Don't want to hate him. I'm just fading him. And
Speaker 2: so far as six.
Speaker 3: Weren't, I guess from a year to year perspective, they
Speaker 3: kind of were, but they weren't as competitive as it
Speaker 3: was made out to be so yeah, I completely agree.
Speaker 3: And back to what I've been saying for the last
Speaker 3: month or so, Marlins, you're on the clock with Sandy
Speaker 3: al Contra. Put him out there. There are teams yeah,
Speaker 3: and need Orioles need it more than ever. These guys
Speaker 3: have prospects. Kobe Mayo. Kobe Mayo has got to be
Speaker 3: the number one trade ship. The Orioles should be calling
Speaker 3: around to teams that would be trading some controllable starting
Speaker 3: pitchers and seeing can we get this done? But we'll see.
Speaker 2: The Mets will control the market though, because they have
Speaker 2: a prospect hall that they can back up now that
Speaker 2: I think beats everybody in terms of mix, in terms
Speaker 2: of mix of position players and pitchers. They had some
Speaker 2: really good spring performances from some of these pictures. Uh,
Speaker 2: they're coming up there.
Speaker 3: If they wanted to trade like Sprout and if you did,
Speaker 3: like let's say.
Speaker 2: I don't know, just and something else for al Contra,
Speaker 2: I think that's better package than just Mayo.
Speaker 3: Like well, no, I think we have trade more than Mayo.
Speaker 3: They've got some pitching prospects out there, like they could
Speaker 3: go Kay Povich and Kobe may I think the Orioles.
Speaker 2: Cape Poch with it rocked around man k Povic. So
Speaker 2: far I don't know. I ain't there yet. Let's let's
Speaker 2: to make some money to do it. Let's make some
Speaker 2: money today. So if you're trying to make money, go
Speaker 2: to fancypros dot Com slash leading Off New customers bet
Speaker 2: just five bucks and if your bet wins, you get
Speaker 2: two hundred bonus bets only on fan Duel. So go
Speaker 2: sign up today Fancy Pros dot Com slash leading Off
Speaker 2: and Welsh. That brings us to our best bets of
Speaker 2: the day with Joey p and the Welsh. So for me,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at showy Otani. That's right, we're back in
Speaker 2: the Otani business. Cause it's over point five on the Ribby's.
Speaker 2: That's pretty easy on plus money plus one twenty five.
Speaker 2: Give me the Cubs today. Why because the Cubs are
Speaker 2: taking on the Rangers, and the Rangers can't hit water
Speaker 2: if they fell out of a boat. Right now, simme
Speaker 2: and struggling burger looks like mince meat. See what I
Speaker 2: did there, It's a metaphor.
Speaker 3: You You just fired them up, though I did say
Speaker 3: it again, say that they can't hit anything.
Speaker 2: You can't hit. Rangers, you can't hit. And you know what,
Speaker 2: White Lang are not in the lineup today either. So again,
Speaker 2: this is what I'm I'm trying to do. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to take all this rage that I have and turn
Speaker 2: it into dollars. And I think that this Cubs lineup
Speaker 2: right now, they've been hitting all year. Tucker's been great,
Speaker 2: Imanaga has been solid. So I'm looking at Imanaga today
Speaker 2: against a weekend Rangers lineup. I love this plus one
Speaker 2: forty minus one and a half here on the run line.
Speaker 2: That's what I like. I think the Cubs win this
Speaker 2: one easily. Rangers are struggling to get any offense. Lastly,
Speaker 2: I'm also taking advantage of the Padres because they don't
Speaker 2: anticipate Tatis or Corona Worth being in the lineup. And
Speaker 2: I know the Jackson Merril's not going to be in
Speaker 2: a lineup. And Mchaalad was just a his first home
Speaker 2: rund of the year yesterday. So the A's just straight
Speaker 2: up on the money line minus went away. You got
Speaker 2: two slap nut pitchers pitching against each other today, It's
Speaker 2: nothing exciting. So I just see no reason why the
Speaker 2: A's can't pull this one. Out because I think the
Speaker 2: Padres are going to struggle with whatever lineup they throw
Speaker 2: out there. So I'm taking advantage of the Rangers weakness,
Speaker 2: the Padres weakness, trying to make some money off of it. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm a mean person, but that's okay. Welsh. Maybe you're
Speaker 2: kinder and gentler with your bets than I am.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I mean we're angry off of yesterday. Like
Speaker 3: I said, process was three and oh yesterday. Sometimes the
Speaker 3: process is also a piece of garbage. Not yesterday. I
Speaker 3: was in the right place, but we only went I
Speaker 3: actually ended in the positive though. I mean, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: kill it today now with this but five day hot
Speaker 3: streak on Betting Pros because I had two other bets
Speaker 3: that I added throughout the day. You would know about
Speaker 3: them and could see them if you were on Betting
Speaker 3: Pros and followed me at Believe it's the Welsh or
Speaker 3: just Welsh, you can follow Joe and I and everybody else.
Speaker 3: But today we are tackling Kansas City, Minnesota, no run
Speaker 3: first inning. We're going back to a little bit of
Speaker 3: Nerfy action. I'm in for this one. Joe, Ryan and
Speaker 3: Seth Luco, Seth Lugo has been a little dicey at
Speaker 3: the start, but it's really good money based on two
Speaker 3: really solid pitchers. Offensively, as far as runs scored, these
Speaker 3: two are both a little bit higher top fifteen. It's
Speaker 3: like one's twelve and I think one is eight in
Speaker 3: runs scored through the first inning. But I don't think
Speaker 3: specifically Minnesota, I don't think the offenses are powerful enough
Speaker 3: that it shies me away, and I think that's pretty
Speaker 3: good numbers. So Kansas City, Minnesota nurfy. Then I'm going
Speaker 3: Atlanta Philly first five over four and a half runs,
Speaker 3: So through the first five innings, I'm betting over four
Speaker 3: and a half runs. Walker was good in that last start.
Speaker 3: I do not think that is going to carry over.
Speaker 3: Grant Holmes is not good. I think that will carry over.
Speaker 3: So I like there to be some runs scored in
Speaker 3: this bad Boy A little bit juicy at minus one thirty,
Speaker 3: but Atlanta Philly over first five runs and Kansas City,
Speaker 3: Minnesota nurfy. I may add a few more, so make
Speaker 3: sure you're following me on betting pros if you want to.
Speaker 2: Sayes minority logged. These are my three that I'm sticking
Speaker 2: with today. Poll results are in. Are you worried about
Speaker 2: tattists forty percent? Yes, thirty percent, no, thirty percent kind
Speaker 2: of So there you go, Thanks.
Speaker 3: You Erka, So okay.
Speaker 2: Way to go America. Also, we've got a question here.
Speaker 2: Would you drop Burger for stash of Kurtz and Burger
Speaker 2: is not a starter for him? I think yes.
Speaker 3: I'm not a little preview to the trade video, I
Speaker 3: personally put Jake in there. He has the it's the
Speaker 3: lowest or the second lowest babbit in all of baseball
Speaker 3: right now. While a lot of his underlying stats are
Speaker 3: carrying over good barrel hard hit rate is just really
Speaker 3: really bad luck that's going on right now. He's gonna
Speaker 3: turn in a huge way. I don't know, but it's
Speaker 3: a better hinder for the environment for a guy that
Speaker 3: can hit thirty in a short league. I guess if
Speaker 3: you're not starting him, you could do that, But like
Speaker 3: you would pray that Nick Kurtz can do what Jake
Speaker 3: Berger has done the last two seasons, so I would.
Speaker 3: I think Burger's going to bounce back soon.
Speaker 2: From the chance here. Again, if you've got questions, drop
Speaker 2: him in. We'll try to get to a couple more
Speaker 2: and if you've got a lot more questions. Well, join

Speaker 3: on Wednesdays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wednesday's a great day to get your questions answered.
Speaker 2: Lard says, you keep saying about the Orioles this offseason,
Speaker 2: right about trading for pictures for the Pirates. Yes, I
Speaker 2: still say it. I mean they're a match made in heaven,
Speaker 2: these two organizations. One desperately needs offense and the other
Speaker 2: desperately needs pitching.
Speaker 3: What pitches the Pirates?
Speaker 2: Well, the problem is Jared Jones got hurt, and you're
Speaker 2: not gonna trade Bubba Chandler. What's the other? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: what's the other guy who just came up and got obliterated?
Speaker 3: Thomas Harrington. They're not going to trade Thomas Harington either though.
Speaker 2: Trade if you tell me that Harrington to the Orioles
Speaker 2: for Kobe Mayo doesn't make sense for everybody.
Speaker 3: No, actually, I do think it makes sense. They absolutely
Speaker 3: love Thomas Harrington. They feel that they've got.
Speaker 2: Like fine, but do you absolutely love Cabrian Hayes at
Speaker 2: the stage, Like, do absolutely love the rest of this offense?
Speaker 2: That sucks and it's not a lot of help coming
Speaker 2: through this organization.
Speaker 3: We look at this and we're like, this just makes
Speaker 3: sense one on one. But like good controllable, young pitching
Speaker 3: that can be high end as an ace like that,
Speaker 3: those are almost untradeable regardless of what you can get
Speaker 3: out of it, So I think it makes sense. The
Speaker 3: only the only player I think they would trade is
Speaker 3: Mitch Keller, and Mitch Keller would just be like, you
Speaker 3: know what, let me.
Speaker 2: Tell you something that may not for Kobe Mayo, but
Speaker 2: Mitch Keller helps. Mitch Keller is better than almost anything
Speaker 2: they've got. I'm sorry, and that is dad is misery.
Speaker 2: It's it's not exciting. What is exciting is the home
Speaker 2: run board. Let's get to it. Let's see where things
Speaker 2: are again. I was not good. I had the TC
Speaker 2: got hurt. Razer's still at the top with nine the
Speaker 2: Welsh at five. Look, they moved you up, but not
Speaker 2: really up because you're still in.
Speaker 3: The I mean you're behind Walke.
Speaker 2: Penguin and the Fisher King one of my favorite films.
Speaker 3: It should be Wonky and then me. That's technically how
Speaker 3: it always is. The host go at the higher area
Speaker 3: so we can look and feel.
Speaker 2: So about all these years doing this show, it's always
Speaker 2: Joe's the heel. Joe's a tough guy. Look at you,
Speaker 2: look at you. The host should be on top. I
Speaker 2: thought Welsh was the man of the people.
Speaker 3: Well they should. I am a man of the people.
Speaker 3: The people want to see Welsh succeed. And by the way,
Speaker 3: Wonky does have six, so somehow she lost one.
Speaker 2: Well we have to Well, she's in charge of it
Speaker 2: all at the end of the day, isn't she so?
Speaker 2: And if you want to get your home run calls made,
Speaker 2: subscribe use your Amazon Prime account. It'll give you access
Speaker 2: to our home run channel on Discord nine. Home runs
Speaker 2: is not a lot to make up. We've seen this
Speaker 2: contest go crazy, people go on enormous runs. We've seen
Speaker 2: people get three in a day. Sometimes all you got
Speaker 2: to do is join and that Sami Sosa Jersey can
Speaker 2: be yours again. Our Discord fanspros dot com slash chat
Speaker 2: to me for the home run call today, you know,
Speaker 2: back to basic joey Otani plus do sixty against the Nats.
Speaker 2: Let's go. Where are you going Welsh for your home
Speaker 2: run call?
Speaker 3: I'm going to pick on my own. Brandon fo Fought
Speaker 3: has looked just okay this year. He has one massive problem.
Speaker 3: Always home runs. It is always home runs, specifically lefties.
Speaker 3: Who did the Baltimore Orioles have as a lefty that
Speaker 3: I absolutely love and had probably a fourth of my
Speaker 3: homers with last year Gunner Freakin Henderson. Gunner Henderson your
Speaker 3: leadoff spot. Give me Gunner Henderson against Brandon Fought. A
Speaker 3: match made in lefty heaven, and if you want to
Speaker 3: bet it over on FanDuel, it's actually four and a
Speaker 3: half to one. Gunners had kind of a slow start
Speaker 3: on his return. I think he might get going here.
Speaker 3: It's actually tempted to take the over in this game.
Speaker 3: Creamer versus Brandon Fought. Fought can put out some really
Speaker 3: great outings. I'm just not sure this is it. He
Speaker 3: struggles against lefties, there's crazy lefties in there, gives up homers,
Speaker 3: and I think Gunner gets us going. So that's where
Speaker 3: I'm going to push up that home run board.
Speaker 2: Last question here from m sylv cel Hi and Lodolo. No,
Speaker 2: we had another good start yesterday. Look, the Red's lineup
Speaker 2: might not be scoring runs, but Lodolo is a pitcher
Speaker 2: I was high on years ago. I think he's healthy. Finally,
Speaker 2: I think you should be buying him in other spots
Speaker 2: because people might not realize just where this could go
Speaker 2: trajectory wise. But again, we're out of time, so go
