Look. Yesterday 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:59.440 was a magnificent day yesterday around baseball, just because we 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:04.000 were at the fourteen runs, which was crazy, the crazy 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.760 scoring yesterday. Yes I had the Diamondbacks one and a 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.679 half runs, I had, we hit all of our bets 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:14.040 three team parlay twelve units. Yesterday, Joe, I'm in brag 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.000 mode here hit a twenty to one parlay which was 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.560 on betting pros, and all of that happened while I 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:21.679 decided to keep the stash. 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:22.800 So today I was. 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.120 Told I was forced. I'm forced to keep the stash 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:26.720 while things are going on. By the way, can we 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.840 also point out through all the craziness yesterday, Joe knows 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.800 exactly where I'm going all of the new We had 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:33.880 a great day.

I 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.720 will continue to troll the A's all year, and I 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.119 feel like I'm gonna be right we I'm gonna troll 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:13.880 the Angels all year.

Make yourself the champion, that's 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.040 what I say. Well, and before we get to the headlines, 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.240 so forget you're gonna place your bets do it at 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.760 bet three six five. Use that promo code leading off 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.639 when you do first bet safety net one thousand dollars 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.480 in bonus bets, and you get five bucks in there 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.560 to bet one hundred and fifty in bonus bets. In return, 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.640 bet you five bucks, get one hundred and fifty. That's 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.519 good math last time I checked. But you got to 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.440 do it at bet three six five. But don't do 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.799 it without using that promo code leading off, and hopefully 0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:09.720 we'll get some more winners for you today, Welsh. Let's 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.600 start with the headlines and a lot to get through here. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.919 Let's start here at the top. Corbyn Burns absolutely dominant. 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.679 This is what the Orioles signed up for. They got 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.679 an eleven strikeout performance. Now, yes I was trolling the 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.200 Angels and yes it worked. But a great debut for 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.760 Corbyn Burns. It has to make everybody in Baltimore feel 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.840 really good. I have shares of Corbyn Burns for say Young, 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:33.880 I wish I had more shares in fantasy. Just didn't 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.000 work out that way. Shane Bieber, on the other hand, too, 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.520 a guy do have some shares of in fantasy. He 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.800 also struck out eleven guys yesterday. It was against the 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:45.120 A's again some lesser opponents. Bieber has a great history 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.960 about the A's too. But here's a question for you, Welsh. 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.200 To me, this is important regardless of the fact that 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.880 it was against the A's. Shane Bieber, I think is 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.280 one of those pitchers that needed to get off to 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.120 a good start considering last year, and I think this 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.119 is exactly what the doctor ordered and I'm very excited 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.440 to see what is to come for Shane Bieber in 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:03.160 twenty twenty four. 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.920 Yeah, so starting with Shane Bieber, obviously, we did this 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.000 Betting Pro show and I was talking about trolling the 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.000 A's and I've seen some people like you're saying, a 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.280 lot of people being like, I don't know if the 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.200 A's are this bad. Let's put into some context here. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.839 These are some wild things and I'm going to compare 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:20.159 it to what Corbyn Burns did. So yesterday Shane Bieber 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.479 had eighteen swing and whiffs pretty great. He had a 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:28.000 thirty seven percent csw and a forty three percent whiff rate, 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.600 which is pretty crazy. Fastball was up a mile per 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.360 hour on average year over year. That's good. You had, 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.440 the change up was up, velos were up kind of 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.600 across the board. But he had forty two swings forty 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.960 two on eighty three pitches, so half of his essentially 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.600 half of his pitches were being swung through. Is it 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.520 because Shane Bieber is the best pitcher on the planet. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.920 There's partial parts of that. Also, the a's are really bad. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.680 I am all here for Shane Bieber. Now in the inverse, 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.440 here's a crazy thing. Corbin Burns. He had twelve swing 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:02.480 and whiffs on eleven strikeouts. That's I don't really recall 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.479 that I've seen a number like that. He had a 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.559 thirty three percent swing rate and a csw of thirty 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.680 nine percent, and his VILO was up kind of across 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.520 the board a little over half a mile per hour 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.000 on the fastball. You had the slider which almost had 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.560 a full mile per hour, and he was just efficient. 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:20.120 Corbyn Burns is a big payoff, But we talked a 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.760 ton about Shane Bieber. You got to minimize some of 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.279 the results because it is the a's. But with velo 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:29.080 up efficiency getting those k's, we're going to take those 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.280 eleven strikeouts across the board and we're not talking assistant 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.159 downticks from Shane Bieber. So it's a huge buy and 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:36.320 hopefully it pairs. 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.200 It's a it's a really good feeling. You know. It's 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.880 funny the win total for the A's is seven more 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.760 than was last year. How did the A's get seven 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.760 wins better than last year? I don't see it on 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.400 that roster, folks, I just don't see it all right. 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.440 Next year, Cole Reagan's nine strikeouts, six hittings, but he 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.520 takes the loss unfortunately. But overall, what we wanted to see, also, 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.440 what I wanted to see from Frankie Montoss. I've been 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.880 talking about this guy all offseason. We talked about in 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:00.800 our last it was the audio only episode of the 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:04.040 Spring training Risers and Followers. I talked about Montas. I said, look, 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.599 he looked pretty good here at the end. Yes, I 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.600 know it's just the Nationals, but six shutout innings is 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.680 six shutout innings. I don't care how you slice it. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.320 He qualifies a rp nd SP. It's a good first 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:18.599 effort for Montoss, A good signal here for the Cincinnati Reds. 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:23.440 One O Cruz goes solo homer, A great opportunity for him. 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.320 And Welsh Welsh, that made you some money, did it not? 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:27.279 I believe yesterday? 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.800 So we had this Bogman and I and a couple 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.640 of our friends were like moving around town. If you 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.560 remember Dan Marley, Dan Marley, Marley's got love Dan Marley. 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.440 I know he has a wife from three I Love. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.800 At a restaurant, we were over there. Oh it socks 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.760 Elliott Perry. It is great Old Sun's team. We were 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.359 there and then we moved over to one of the 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.839 sports books and I had a couple bets flying around 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.120 and I had this one and I was like, man, 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.719 we're at the back of the game. It was I 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.520 called it the cruise Control. It was Oneal Cruz to 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.360 hit a homer and Ellie de la Cruz to steal 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:02.320 a base. We're sitting at the sports book. They're both 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.520 up within one batter of each other. Ellie gets on 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.880 steals a base. O'Neal's up and I look at bagman, 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.480 I go, I just need a homer. He swings that 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.480 bad boy. Looks like it's going to be a foul 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.360 ball because the pure rob power gets at homers. A 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.160 twenty to one stupid parlay that I hit. It's the 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.680 first week things you can see, but it was up 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.400 on the betting pros app and Oneal Cruz showing off 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.400 exactly what we saw in spring seven Homers big home 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.080 run power. And again, what was my favorite season long 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.679 bet prop that we did on the Betting Pro Show, Joe. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.480 It was Oneal Cruz Homer's over twenty four and a 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.160 half and he gets that first one on the board 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:40.560 right now. 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.800 Not bad by the way, everybody I mentioned that audio 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.560 only episode, That's not the only thing we've got going 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.440 on there. So every single week on the regular podcast 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.560 on YouTube, but on the podcast channel by itself, we 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:57.040 have Mike Mayer and the Worm are going to be 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.200 doing a little bit more of a deep dive extended 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.800 look to show called the Cycle. What they're gonna be 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.120 doing basically is deep dives at the top of the 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.560 show on the big news of the week, whatever that 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.960 big item or two is. They're really gonna give you 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.440 a little bit more. You know, this is a condensed 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.120 half hour daily show, so they're gonna give you a 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.520 little bit more of the long form fantasy stuff. Well, 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.600 she's gonna do some prospect stuff on there. It's gonna 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.960 be great. So they're gonna hit their you know, trades 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:20.880 in the waiver wire. So basically it's kind of like 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.920 a podcast is gonna prepare you for the week to come, 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.840 basically and recapping the week that was. So that's a 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.680 great addition to the lineup here. 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.880 Yes, this new episode was out yesterday. It's longer than usual. 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.280 It was an hour, but Kelly Kirby, the wonky penguin 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.280 who's in the chat, was a guest and I was 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:37.920 a guest on it as well, So you guys can 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:38.760 check that out episode. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:40.640 That's why it wasn't hour. You go very long here, 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:41.199 very long, Wain. 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:42.920 Well, it was Kelly that went forty minutes, not me. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.439 So well, Kelly can go as long as she wants there, 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.520 because Kelly's amazing you, we'll say, all right. Just for fun, 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.679 Tyler O'Neil steals a base and also so it's a 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.559 major league record by hitting a home run is fifth 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.120 consecutive Opening Day, So there you go, Tyler and Neil 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:00.760 loves Opening Day and I love this too. Also for fun, 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.360 a little bit of history, Jenny Kavnar becomes the first 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.400 female play by play announcer for the A's and that 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.360 was a wonderful moment there for women in baseball. My 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.440 friend Jess works out there for the A's too, and 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.760 I think it's fantastic that we're you know, continuing to 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:17.360 change the shape of what front offices look like, what 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.920 the announced crew looks like, with the umpires, referees in 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.040 football all that. It's very encouraging women in sports. Look, 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.839 I'm a flag football coach. I coached my daughter for 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.720 the last three years actually almost four now that i'm 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.599 thinking about it, and you know, it's very important to 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.199 encourage them. And you know, I know my godmother it 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.720 had she known that baseball general manager or front office 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.800 executive was a job that was going to be open 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.200 to her, it would have changed her entire career path, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.080 she told me once. And I think that's a very 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.360 important thing that, you know, for women. You have to 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:48.800 see these things out there as achievable and possible now 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.160 and it's great. And this is another one, I think, 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.199 another feather in the cap here for MLB, So good 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.120 on them. Rookie Lookie Welsh Wyatt Langford first career RBI, 0:09:57.280 --> 0:09:59.559 so that's a positive. Victor Scott stole a base, lots 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.880 of steels come blaze, Alexander got his first career hit 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.160 for the d Backs and Jackson Cheerio leading off today, 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.440 so that's good. We'll see Churio, We'll see Peralta, We'll 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.240 see the Mats. By the way, more Peralta news to come. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.640 Any rookie, lookie moment that stood out. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.200 For you, well, well, I mean I was there to 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.400 watch Blaze Alexander as a DH go and not only 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.920 get his first hit, but he was the one that 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.720 put the last run on the board for the Diamondbacks, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.080 which was a all time record for an inning for 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.120 the team. So Blaze looked great, you know. And just 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.400 a couple of the things on these White Langford was 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:36.559 intentionally walked in his first game, also got his first RBI. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:37.640 Which was crazy. 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.679 It is amazing. And Victor Scott, you know, we were 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.839 at Marley's when this happened. We were getting up to 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.000 leave and then he's on base and I'm like, no, no, 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:46.880 hold on, we got to watch he had that buy 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:47.200 him out. 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:47.920 I believe it was. 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.480 He was tracked at twenty nine point six, which I 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.520 think would have been faster than any runner last year. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.079 I could be wrong about that. So I think those 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:59.640 are all interesting. But Jackson Churio today leading off for 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.120 Pat Murphy is not what I expected. Pat Murphy's like 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:04.079 an old school baseball. 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.400 I like it though, I like of course you like it. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.040 I like it too, But that's not something that Pat Murphy. Yes, 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:09.680 if you want the. 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.760 Lineup protection, you know that you want the kid to 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.600 be successful, don't hit him eighth, like, don't do that 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.839 to the kid. By the way, my line up note 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.520 today Michael Harris hitting sixth in the lineup today too. 0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:20.400 I don't like that. 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.480 Not out there you do like that or don't like that. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:24.440 I don't like that at all. I want Michael Harris 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:25.400 at the top of the lineup. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.880 What do we do well, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.760 what is By the way, I know the cycle started 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.560 and someone made a comment here that where is that. 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.080 I need more Mayor? We need more Mayor in our 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:35.840 lives than we don't. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.280 What is JP? What are you trying to get for free? 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:40.199 What are you talking about? 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.680 No less Mayor? Usually we'll take him for that hour 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:44.840 because he's good with the baseball. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.720 Not even seeing Mayor in the chat. You notice how 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:47.880 great the show was yesterday? 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:49.959 Yeah, it's right. Mayor was nowhere to be found yesterday. 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:52.760 He had other things going on. I believe who knows what, 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.840 but you maybe yesterday's show. I encourage you to go 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.520 back and watch it because the Whigs were amazing, and 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.920 I still had nightmares about when you pulled back your 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:05.840 wig to just the bowl cut that. No, no, no, no, 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.760 put that away. I don't need to see that again. 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.440 I'm not gonna sleep all weekend if we do that. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.000 All right, let's go to the three up and three 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:16.920 down here, three up my trout home run first at 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.920 bad and it was a long bright spot for the Angels. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.320 It was all downhill after that, but still it's a 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.199 good start. Trade them now, folks, pabloz. 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.720 Come on, I'm all about this. I'm all about the note. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:31.040 I'm by Pablo Lopez. I'm all about a great opportunity 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:35.079 for him. Uh seven innings, striking out seven, just awesome, 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.040 one run on four hits, tremendous opener for the Twins. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.360 More on Royce Lewis, more on Justin Steele. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:41.839 I see you in the chat. We'll get to it 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.400 in a second. We're trying to be positive here. We 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.320 don't want to depress everybody. At the top of the show, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:50.040 Hazels Lozardo recorded eight strikeouts, two runs, five innings. Here's 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.680 the thing with Lozardo. We talked with Craig Mish and 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.120 he was telling us, look, Lozardo is being shopped. It's 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.600 something that's actively going on. It was actively going on 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.520 in the spring. They didn't get what they wanted. Some 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.600 team is going to end up with him. Welsh, this 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.719 was a good star for him. I'm gonna ask you 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.720 a question, if you have Lozardo, do you want to 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.480 start to you know, if he gets off to a 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.240 good start, start to poke around the trade wins and 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.240 see if somebody wants to overpay for Lozardo or do 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:14.960 you want to hold him and wait to see if 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.520 he does get trade to a contender earlier as opposed 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:17.840 to later. 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:19.760 I think it's it. I you know, I hadn't really 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.920 given a lot of thought of like, oh, him on 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.480 this new team and what positives could come out of it. 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.000 I'm just not a big hazuse Losardo. I had him 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.000 as kind of a fade this year. He did have 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:30.920 a huge day. I think it was eighteen swing and 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:34.280 whifts forty six percent swing with rate, which was crazy, 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.240 over thirty five percent csw which is good. But you 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.680 also saw massive downticks as far as Vilo fastball was 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.720 down half a mile per hour. His sinker was down 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:46.559 almost two miles per hour. Slider was about like on target. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.200 He looked okay. I watched it. He looked okay. He 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:52.880 was decent early. I'm probably a sell, especially if you 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.600 can take like you know, big stats, you know, big 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:57.520 whift numbers. You can sell someone on it. Maybe there's 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.840 another good performance coming up and then you could sell 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.480 and get equal value and probably moving off him. But 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.480 to your point, if he is sold, it's gonna probably 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.360 be some contendye type of team that is missing, you know, 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.760 maybe like a Rangers, you know, a Rangers type of contendy. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.960 I like that. Nothing, I like it. It's it's a 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.280 phrase that I'm very excited about using in the future. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.040 Three down Kyle Freeland, two and a third, ten hits, 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.960 ten earned yikes. Zach Efflin not the best start for him, 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.240 kind of fell apart towards the end though, to be fair, 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.120 like the line is a little misleading. I'd be buying 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.680 low on Zach Efflin because I know, and you know Welsh, 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.040 there's people that weren't buying in a Zach Eflin that 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.400 might have ended up with him in their league and 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.120 they're going, oh, No. Six earned runs five and two thirds. 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.200 But if you watch the start, first four innings were 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:41.800 pretty clean. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.440 For him and had no hitter through like three innings. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.680 He was really good here from the beginning. I think 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:47.560 it just kind of, you know, just kind of fell 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.760 apart a little bit. I would jump all over this 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:51.880 start early if there's somebody in your league that is 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:52.920 panicking about him, and I. 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.560 Trade move the Lizardo for e Flyn. 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.040 If we can do that, I think he's gonna be 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:58.480 the first guy on the trade video this week. I 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.440 gotta go like, buy low Gelin right now, Heimer Candelario 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.080 Umboo over four to three strikeouts, So not the best 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.400 the hat trick for him, not the best start. You know, 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.000 it pisses me off, and it pisses a lot of 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:10.880 people off Welsh too. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:11.920 What grinds your gears? 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.080 You know it grinds my gears, and I know it 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:15.760 grinds everybody. And I want to hear from you in 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.000 the chat because everybody's watching live right now on the 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.880 YouTube channel. Everybody complains about the same thing. Why do 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.200 we have to wait to the last minute to put 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.680 guys on the il because it affects everybody's ability in 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.840 leagues with roster moves and things like that, you're waiting 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.800 and waiting and waiting for somebody to go in the IL. 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.840 They haven't put them on the eye. It's why we 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.880 all know that guy. They announce it, they say it, 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.480 but they don't actually do it. It's ridiculous. Now in 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.800 my home league, I'm the commissioner, So why allow people 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.440 to just put people in IL spots the first week? 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.760 Because I know it's such a disaster, But don't you 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.880 think it's like it's kind of obnoxious, Like they know 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.240 they're starting on the IL, put these guys in the 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.760 IL and then give us the rosters. Like why shouldn't 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.240 we encourage people to putting fantasy because that's a huge 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.000 part of our fan base. I don't understand it, Welsh, 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:00.880 I don't get it. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.960 Well, Baseball's never embrace fantasy. They're embracing betting. By the way, 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.600 I saw this tweet out there the New York the 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.320 New York Yankees actual account. I think it was tweeted 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.000 out Nestor Cortes strikeouts with a check mark and the 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.960 over number and everything like that. They've never embraced fantasy. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.360 If they did to your point, we would have ils, 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:22.600 they would literally cater how they do to show betting, 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.080 but they don't cater to it. Yeah, it's super super annoying. 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:27.720 It's why having a great commissioner is probably really important, 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.000 and a site that you can like manually make those moves. 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.960 And speaking about making moves, segue, sink your league.
