Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you by Bet three six to
Speaker 1: five bed five bucks get one hundred and fifteen bonus
Speaker 1: bets when you use the promo code to leading off.
Speaker 1: It is me Joey P. That of course is the Welsh,
Speaker 1: and it's you, the Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks. It's a
Speaker 1: fun Friday. It's the second of August. A lot to
Speaker 1: get to today in the world of baseball and Welsh. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is the final Joey P Leading Off, but it's
Speaker 1: not the final leading off. I wonder everybody take a
Speaker 1: deep breath. We are a team here. No one man
Speaker 1: is above the team, and it's certainly not me. So
Speaker 1: I hope all the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks everybody
Speaker 1: hangs out six round for the baseball coverage. I know
Speaker 1: Welsh has got some great ideas he's gonna be doing
Speaker 1: in August and September, especially for all of you folks
Speaker 1: who are playing dynasty and starting to look ahead till
Speaker 1: next year. So we're gonna have your cover for the
Speaker 1: stretch run of your playoffs. And Welsh, speaking of stretch runs,
Speaker 1: we are looking at the Orioles finally bringing up prospects.
Speaker 1: I was hoping today we get Unior Camanaro. That was
Speaker 1: my one homes Like, okay, the last day that I'm here,
Speaker 1: we finally get him. Yeah I was wrong, right, you know,
Speaker 1: I finally got him. But Jackson Holliday not the only
Speaker 1: guy who looks like he is back with the Orioles
Speaker 1: and by the way, hit a home run yesterday. But
Speaker 1: Kobe Mayo apparently is on his way as well. The
Speaker 1: twenty two year old prospect, the nine sixty one oh ps,
Speaker 1: twenty homers and triple a Welsh. How excited should we be?
Speaker 2: We should be pretty excited. I mean the reason this happened, unfortunately,
Speaker 2: is not exciting because Jordan Westberg fractured his hand. I
Speaker 2: think it was so at least, if anything, it just pressed.
Speaker 2: It is really weird, like the prospects. Someone asked yesterday,
Speaker 2: like we can have more prospecting segments. I am going
Speaker 2: to do some in August after this week, So I
Speaker 2: want to see what the weird is, Like, why is
Speaker 2: Junior Cameron Aro not up? It still doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: Why was Kobe Mayo not up? Outside of a glut
Speaker 2: of other you know, like really good prospects or guys
Speaker 2: that they don't believe in. Hester kirstaid, Hey, he's doing
Speaker 2: good and he's gone. Goodbye Kobe Mayo though, even though
Speaker 2: I know they have the awesome Ramon Urias twenty homers
Speaker 2: hitting over three hundred so far in triple A, double
Speaker 2: digit walk rate. Strikeouts have been a little bit of
Speaker 2: a problem, and I think that might be a little
Speaker 2: bit of the worry. I think the Jackson Holiday early
Speaker 2: struggles with how much he struck out. That might be
Speaker 2: in the back of their minds. But Kobe Mayo is
Speaker 2: a big power bat, probably gonna hit six or seven
Speaker 2: in this lineup. He's an absolute must pick. There's not
Speaker 2: a lot of prospect must pickups. There were two. It
Speaker 2: was Junior Cavanaro and Kobe Mayo. Those are without hesitation.
Speaker 2: You go out and you go and pick up and
Speaker 2: then you see how it rides out. But yes, we
Speaker 2: should be very excited. This is great. The big prospects
Speaker 2: are finally there for the Orioles and we're just August second,
Speaker 2: Joey's longest he's been on leading off, and Junior Cavanero
Speaker 2: is still not here. So that's the only one that we're.
Speaker 1: Still going well. Kevin or didgo two for four with
Speaker 1: a three run homer. I imagine we're gonna see him soon.
Speaker 1: I mean even the sarcasm been some places when they,
Speaker 1: you know, report his notes and news is starting to
Speaker 1: get pretty hilarious. Who would you rather have in a
Speaker 1: Dynasty League? Though? From everything you've seen and all the
Speaker 1: work that you've done in the last couple of years
Speaker 1: on these prospects, Mayo or Caminaro?
Speaker 2: Who is who is the preferred camon Aro? I have
Speaker 2: cam and arow at two on my on my rookie
Speaker 2: ranks right now. So and by the way, I'm undergoing
Speaker 2: a couple of things. I've got my prospect updates, my
Speaker 2: Dynasty updates I'm working on on my Patreon. But also
Speaker 2: I've been doing my P one ADPs, which I think
Speaker 2: you've known about, the prospect ADPs, where I create an
Speaker 2: ADP system for prospects. And cam and Aro is still
Speaker 2: going two or one in all of these, so he's
Speaker 2: going to finish out with an average draft position of two.
Speaker 2: Mayo is in the top five. Those are all just
Speaker 2: like you know, ranking type of areas, but I like
Speaker 2: cam and Aro has less of a strikeout problem than
Speaker 2: Mayo has. He's got all fields power. I think it's
Speaker 2: a plus plus bat. I think Mayo is a plus bat,
Speaker 2: but with maybe some strikeout issues. You know, the best
Speaker 2: case scenario is he could be like a Riley, which
Speaker 2: is phenomenal. But I think you can look at Cameron
Speaker 2: Arow and you can say this could be a first
Speaker 2: round overall talent with where it could end up going.
Speaker 2: So I'll go with Cameronaro for the slight edge on
Speaker 2: the plus bat. But again, like these are the dudes,
Speaker 2: I just I gotta be honest with you. I did
Speaker 2: not think August first. I didn't think August second you'd
Speaker 2: be here. But also I did not think that Kobe Mayo.
Speaker 1: But we thought Junior Cavanaro.
Speaker 2: I thought Junia Camanaro Mayo would have been here by now,
Speaker 2: so that I am surprised about.
Speaker 1: Sorry, disappoint everybody. Jerry, by the way, is right. It's
Speaker 1: almost time for the Rainforest Cafe with Andrew Rickson tonight.
Speaker 1: We had to adjust a reservation though because delays for
Speaker 1: Derek Brown. I don't think he's gonna make it to
Speaker 1: the cafe today, so we're gonna have to hit the
Speaker 1: cafe a little early, which is probably a good idea.
Speaker 1: We want to hear Sion nuggets and then we'll get
Speaker 1: him home. By the way, it feels like a rainforest
Speaker 1: in New Jersey day It's like ninety degrees and the
Speaker 1: ammility is like one hundred and one percent. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's possible.
Speaker 2: I do a football show with Andrew Erickson, who is
Speaker 2: taking a train here very shortly. He might be on
Speaker 2: the train right now on his.
Speaker 1: Way to you. Oh, he's on the train right now.
Speaker 2: And we were talking because the whole Rainforest Cafe is
Speaker 2: kind of built around him. This is what he said
Speaker 2: to me. I was like, what are you gonna get?
Speaker 2: He was just like, oh, I probably get something just
Speaker 2: really normal. I don't want my stomach to be bad
Speaker 2: and everything like that. I don't get anything crazy. Like
Speaker 2: they probably serve there, like you know, like I don't
Speaker 2: know if I could order like kangaroo. And I was like,
Speaker 2: hold on a second, do you think the Rainforest Cafe
Speaker 2: serves kangaroo? Eric said, I'm like, it's a Chili's with
Speaker 2: a bunch of animatronic like leopards, so it's not it's
Speaker 2: not a big thing. They don't serve. I don't know
Speaker 2: anywhere that serves kse Well.
Speaker 1: There is something, he says, kangaroo burger, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's made of kangaroo. That's the qrush like
Speaker 1: it's not. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's not made of kangaroo. They're not serving kangaroo. It's
Speaker 2: just the name.
Speaker 1: Not.
Speaker 2: Did you think they served kangaroo?
Speaker 1: I don't, and I just don't know if Andrew does,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to disappoint him. I'm looking right now.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look at some of the things. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's see. Uh the jungle steak and shrimp.
Speaker 2: Do you think that's made a jungle the It might.
Speaker 1: Be, it's possible. The anaconda pasta, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's got real stake.
Speaker 2: You kind of don't want none unless it's got.
Speaker 1: The Uh. There's something with lava in it too, and
Speaker 1: it's not John, Oh, be.
Speaker 2: Careful that one might burn the top of the mouth.
Speaker 1: Gotta be real, real careful. Speaking of some of the
Speaker 1: young players, Max Meyer was backing about four runs and
Speaker 1: five innings and a loss to the Braves. That with
Speaker 1: the Braves and Olsen and Alstin Riley both hit on
Speaker 1: runs yesterday, but still good to see Max Meyer up now.
Speaker 1: Projectability next year for Max Meyer is really the question here, Welsh,
Speaker 1: because I think with all these things we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about on the show for the next few months, it's
Speaker 1: really about going forward. It's not so much that you
Speaker 1: will be talking about not so much meaning but more you. Uh.
Speaker 1: But if you want me and watch together out of
Speaker 1: Bounds Me Welsh and Bogman every single Monday. Now that
Speaker 1: podcast is dropping over on the main feed out of
Speaker 1: Bounds Joe Welsh, Bogman. It's gonna be amazing. So you
Speaker 1: check that out if you can't get enough of us,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you can't, but that's going to be
Speaker 1: starting this Monday, So look for that in your podcast
Speaker 1: feed and get over on the main Fantasy Pro feed.
Speaker 1: But Max Meyer, what is his upside in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five considering the way he's been managed in twenty twenty four, Like,
Speaker 1: is this somebody that you think is going to be
Speaker 1: a middle rotation guy next year, back end spot starter
Speaker 1: guy or is he still too much of a work
Speaker 1: in progress?
Speaker 2: Maybe no, I don't know. If he's like a work
Speaker 2: in progress. You see highlights you like see these moments.
Speaker 2: It always stands out to me. When I interviewed Nolan
Speaker 2: Gorman a long time ago, he said Max Meyer was
Speaker 2: the nastiest pitcher he had ever faced, and that's always
Speaker 2: stuck out to me. And you can see the flashes
Speaker 2: early on he had in that game, and then he
Speaker 2: just started, you know, unleashing homers and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: I think the work in progress will go away as
Speaker 2: long as we see the stuff tick up. Because this
Speaker 2: stuff was down in this game that he just had.
Speaker 2: Slider was down a full mile prour, sinker was down
Speaker 2: almost two miles prower, and the fastball was down about
Speaker 2: a half mile prour, and it just didn't have the
Speaker 2: big whiffs. His slider's always been his big dominant pitch,
Speaker 2: but we need his fastball to be sitting up. It
Speaker 2: was sitting ninety three in this game, ninety four and
Speaker 2: a half. If he's just you know, he's further removed
Speaker 2: from Tommy John, he's a little bit healthier, he's got
Speaker 2: less of an innings limit restriction going into next year.
Speaker 2: I think he's a great dynasty buy right now because
Speaker 2: you're gonna get to see middling results where his stuff
Speaker 2: is wavering. Next year, I think he can come in
Speaker 2: and kind of pull like a Taj Bradley, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like there might be a few little
Speaker 2: bumps and would be, but when it goes, when it goes,
Speaker 2: that's where I think Max Meyer's gonna go. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be like a tash. And think next year, by the way,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like Sanuel Contra is gonna be back
Speaker 2: and you're gonna have hate, you know, if they don't
Speaker 2: trade Hazy's listener, like the rotation is gonna be a
Speaker 2: lot better. The team's still gonna stink. It's gonna just
Speaker 2: be Connor Norby's and Kyle Stowers and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying, like, I think he's
Speaker 2: a good bye.
Speaker 1: Well look, if if that's what the upside is, then
Speaker 1: that's worth a draft stash and be patient. And I
Speaker 1: think it should be looking right now. The Amazon fajitas
Speaker 1: also interesting. The python pasta we uh, the anaconda pasta
Speaker 1: or the python pasta always in the possibilities of what
Speaker 1: you're looking. And there's also the volcanic cobb salad.
Speaker 2: Cobs and volcanoes. I actually have had snake, but I
Speaker 2: eight snake once, of course I know that it was
Speaker 2: literally there's this old West cowboy town out here called
Speaker 2: West World before everybody saw The Dumb Show and West
Speaker 2: and they had this restaurant in the middle of It's
Speaker 2: literally in the middle of the desert, full on cowboy town,
Speaker 2: and it was like two years of living here and
Speaker 2: I had to order and eat rattlesnake. It's good.
Speaker 1: Jerry's saying, the volcano salad's good.
Speaker 2: Right as you're alive. There's real volcano.
Speaker 1: So did you like the snake?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the snake was actually quite good at the But I.
Speaker 1: Remember Donnie's in the chat. I want to know if
Speaker 1: cousin donnie's eating snake yet, because.
Speaker 2: He's gosh almost like, oh no, you're right, you should
Speaker 2: have eaten snake. Then Donnie, let that that'll be next day,
Speaker 2: our next playdate. We'll go and we'll get you some snake.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Jose Ramirez two for three with two Homer. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but you.
Speaker 2: Look at that's the that's right there. I'm just totally
Speaker 2: sorry I interrupted you, But no, that's all right.
Speaker 1: Welsh never had Canoli's, but he's had a snake.
Speaker 2: Okay, sorry, let's move on.
Speaker 1: That's weird, That's all right. I just well, I know
Speaker 1: you want to go past it. Because Jose Ramirez hit
Speaker 1: another home run for me yesterday. That's really you were
Speaker 1: trying to bury the lead. That's what you're trying. I
Speaker 1: thought we were gonna get.
Speaker 2: I got a homer to Anthony Santander cash the total
Speaker 2: base and the home run. Mine was a little bit
Speaker 2: more fun of a name. But I will point out
Speaker 2: all I wanted was for you to not get that homer,
Speaker 2: and you would have your final day been finally knocked
Speaker 2: off that board. You've been on that damn board the
Speaker 2: entire year to your credit. There, you would have been
Speaker 2: knocked off I think had Jose not hit that, and
Speaker 2: that would have been just I think hilarious.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, since we're talking about the board, I
Speaker 1: as well take a look at the board real quick
Speaker 1: and see what it looks like.
Speaker 2: You would would the board, man.
Speaker 1: I got two words for you. Home runs. That's right, baby,
Speaker 1: Look at that still on the board on the last
Speaker 1: day here. From pillar to post, I believe is what
Speaker 1: they would say. Well, in the wrestling business, from pillar
Speaker 1: to post, I've been here, and I will give you
Speaker 1: my home run in perpetuity.
Speaker 2: Later in the show, Smudge.
Speaker 1: It doesn't It's not Aaron. It doesn't rhyme, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't rhyme with.
Speaker 2: Moh, you know what me excited?
Speaker 1: There you go, Trevor Rodgers not so exciting. Five runs,
Speaker 1: four and a third took a big l again, interesting
Speaker 1: reclamation project age, size, left hand or all that stuff.
Speaker 1: But I still scratch my head. The Orioles. I think,
Speaker 1: crap the bed this this trade deadline. They could have
Speaker 1: gone out there and gotten a Flaherty or gotten somebody
Speaker 1: else and it would have been much better off for
Speaker 1: so if they don't win the World Series, you can
Speaker 1: look back and say, you know what, they should have
Speaker 1: gone after that picture to put him over the top,
Speaker 1: and they failed. So skeptical. Now I'm really annoyed at
Speaker 1: the Orioles, which is why I still bet the Phillies
Speaker 1: to win the World Series. So I guess I should
Speaker 1: be happier, you know on that. Speaking of no joy,
Speaker 1: Mike Trout is gonna miss the rest of the season.
Speaker 1: Another torn meniscus in the knee. Yeah, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be tough. I know, the general maners. Did you see
Speaker 1: the GMS quote yesterday. I've seen the look in his eyes.
Speaker 1: He's gonna hit seventy home runs next year. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be so he will. He's not gonna play seventy games
Speaker 1: past year.
Speaker 2: You're talking about.
Speaker 1: It sucks. It really sucks. It sucks for Trout, it
Speaker 1: sucks for baseball. But you know, this is one of
Speaker 1: the I guess it's fallen in the category of the
Speaker 1: what if careers? Right? I think, I know that's kind
Speaker 1: of like a miserable thing to be talking about, but
Speaker 1: it seems like that's where we're I don't know.
Speaker 2: If we're there yet, but I suppose you're right, Like,
Speaker 2: no matter what, even if he plays for six more
Speaker 2: years and gets the five hundred marker, blah blahi.
Speaker 1: More years, six more years, Oh no.
Speaker 2: I mean that that's equivalent to two full seasons over
Speaker 2: the six years. But what I'm getting at is like,
Speaker 2: like he could he could play through his contract to
Speaker 2: thirty eight. You know, he could get to five hundred
Speaker 2: homers and blah blah blah, but will still be like
Speaker 2: what could have been? I think didn't we do that
Speaker 2: with Griffy? A lot of people did that with Griffy
Speaker 2: towards the end.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: No, but Griffy still no, no, no, I know he was
Speaker 2: still amazing, but like, oh man, what if, like it
Speaker 2: could have done da da dut.
Speaker 1: Well what if? Griffy? Yes, but Trout is almostly more
Speaker 1: depressing what if? Because yeah, sure, a fourteen years in
Speaker 1: the league, three hundred and seventy eight home runs, a career,
Speaker 1: two ninety nine hitter for a two hundred twelve stone
Speaker 1: basis on his career, a career nine ninety one ops. Look,
Speaker 1: this is one of the all time great players. But
Speaker 1: you know, I get I guess here, I think he's
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. Would you agree, yes? By Trout? Yeah, sure, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not that Don Mattingley's career. It's not that far
Speaker 1: off from looking like Don Mattingley's career. Mattingly had a
Speaker 1: little les of a peak than Trout, but again, you know,
Speaker 1: more speed for him, domatically a great defensive player too
Speaker 1: in his own right first base. And you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, like I look at it, I go it's
Speaker 1: he's a Hall of Famer. I know you don't like
Speaker 1: to play the Hall of Fame game. I always like it.
Speaker 1: It's fun. He's a Hall of Famer, but it's gonna
Speaker 1: be one of those things where you look at it,
Speaker 1: it's more like the I don't know, like the Larry
Speaker 1: Walker Hall of Famers, and like those other guys were like, man,
Speaker 1: if they had stayed.
Speaker 2: Healthy, Yeah, no, it's a hundred. There's like no doubt
Speaker 2: it's going to be them. We should. If it weren't
Speaker 2: football season, I would have probably asked this because like,
Speaker 2: I'll take the L. What what a what a page
Speaker 2: turning L. The Mike Trout stuff was in fantasy too,
Speaker 2: from our preseason debate video where me and Pianowski kind
Speaker 2: of went at it and then me starting the victory lap.
Speaker 2: I started like getting my legs up like da da da.
Speaker 1: Going on that huge tirade about.
Speaker 2: It, and then me keep going, don runs. I'm like
Speaker 2: the joker at the top of the stairs, and and
Speaker 2: then I just fall and he's hurt and he stinks
Speaker 2: and everything was right and it's just large massive. I
Speaker 2: would have taken that L video for sure, because I'm out.
Speaker 2: I Am out for good. He will not be a
Speaker 2: top one hundred player ranked in the next season. Doesn't
Speaker 2: matter about how great his shape of his life is
Speaker 2: unless he's got robotic ham strings and a new back,
Speaker 2: and they rebuilt him out of Westworld. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: be super interested. And let I mean, if we're being realistic,
Speaker 2: if the cost is like almost nothing, I probably will
Speaker 2: fall into it a la you know, Buxton and those
Speaker 2: type of things. But he won't be a top one
Speaker 2: hundred pick. He's just too risky. He's the most chronically
Speaker 2: injured player in baseball and it sucks for fantasy. What
Speaker 2: it really sucks for is dynasty. I own him in
Speaker 2: a dynasty league. I think he's untradeable because nobody will
Speaker 2: trade you anything remotely worth getting rid of him, Like
Speaker 2: what he can do when he's active, Like, what are
Speaker 2: you gonna go and trade him for baby? No, you're stuck.
Speaker 2: If you want him in dynasty, you're stuck. If you're
Speaker 2: gonna play the smart way I would. You just got
Speaker 2: to pray to God you can get thirty games out
Speaker 2: of him. I'm like, God, he looks healthy, and then
Speaker 2: you trade him. So dynasty is the worst. Next year
Speaker 2: it'll be a post one hundred. I might be laying
Speaker 2: it low, by the way, he might be one twenty five,
Speaker 2: one fifty, but we just can't do we can't do
Speaker 2: the Mike Trout thing again. I won't be making a
Speaker 2: case why he's you know, oh he's cheap at like
Speaker 2: fifty or sixty or whatever, which I did in the offseason.
Speaker 2: It's not worth the juice, is not worth the squeeze.
Speaker 2: It's bad.
Speaker 1: Here's this is fun. You know, Mike Trout is played
Speaker 1: fourteen years now, so I'm looking at him at all
Speaker 1: time home run ranks of three seventy eight, fourteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he has he is fourteen years right now. He
Speaker 1: is right there with Jeff Kent seventeen seasons, three seventy
Speaker 1: seven home runs. The other guys that are kind of
Speaker 1: close in terms of seasons and home run totals. This
Speaker 1: is fun. You'll love this list. Albert Bell at three
Speaker 1: eighty one, Jim Rice at sixteen seasons, at three eighty two.
Speaker 1: Then you've got Ryan Howard thirteen seasons, so one season
Speaker 1: less than Trout three eighty two. Now, again, Mike Trout's
Speaker 1: missed a lot of time in these seasons, so it's relative.
Speaker 1: But Larry Walker, a guy missed a ton of time
Speaker 1: three eighty three with seventeen seasons. Then you got to
Speaker 1: go all the way up to Jim Edmonds seventeen seasons,
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety three home runs, Joe Carter sixteen seasons,
Speaker 1: three hundred and ninety six home runs, and Dale Murphy
Speaker 1: eighteen seasons, three hundred ninety eight home runs. I will
Speaker 1: take this with me forever and ever. Jim Edmonds should
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. The fact that he
Speaker 1: was one and done on the ballot is the most
Speaker 1: absurd thing I've ever seen. He was one of the
Speaker 1: all time greatest defensive center fielders I've ever seen, and
Speaker 1: he's got more home runs than Mike Trout, and maybe
Speaker 1: he'll end up with more home runs of Mike Trout
Speaker 1: with the way things are going. All I know is
Speaker 1: that was a career that was literally one and done
Speaker 1: on the ballot. And I don know as a person.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not the his.
Speaker 2: Wife was in Real Housewives or remember my wife watching
Speaker 2: it and she was like, yeah, just yea, this chick's
Speaker 2: married to baseball player and it was Jim Edmonds and
Speaker 2: he was It was not playing a lot.
Speaker 1: Of unlikable guys in the Hall of Fame. Okay, he's
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame baseball player. But anyway, for those
Speaker 1: of you who like that stuff a little uh, you know,
Speaker 1: And I get power and speed, that's all fine. But
Speaker 1: Larry Walker is like he's he's more Larry Walker than he.
Speaker 2: Is King by the way.
Speaker 1: And I know that's gonna upset people, but I've gone
Speaker 1: full mad dog today.
Speaker 3: I know it's gonna make it crazy. I know I'm
Speaker 3: gonna make it a very offect. I know the people
Speaker 3: out there, I love Mike Trout. You love Mike Trout
Speaker 3: out there. I get enough Dan, But you know what,
Speaker 3: he's more Abouty Walker than if.
Speaker 2: If Mike wants to save his career, he needs to
Speaker 2: enter his dh era. Get him a get him a wrist,
Speaker 2: or get him a tailor. Percent this is his dh era.
Speaker 2: He should not touch the field anymore. He should just
Speaker 2: dh so then we're only worrying about running around the
Speaker 2: bases to hurt the hamstring in the back. He should
Speaker 2: not play the field anymore. If he has any hopes
Speaker 2: of playing five or six years like he is, he
Speaker 2: is literally falling apart. I feel bad for him. Like
Speaker 2: in his little message thing, he's just like, oh, I'm
Speaker 2: letting people down on whatever. It's like, No, you just
Speaker 2: like you like letting yourself down like you're you're hurting
Speaker 2: yourself here, but also like if your body is completely
Speaker 2: falling apart, just DH and that that is the way
Speaker 2: to revive this. And he could have his DH side
Speaker 2: of his career, which could maybe let him last those
Speaker 2: five or six years so he can get over five
Speaker 2: hundred homers. But if he goes to a DH only
Speaker 2: and they commit to that, I actually might get like
Speaker 2: a tiny bit more like, oh, maybe we can do this.
Speaker 2: But as long as he's in the field and he's
Speaker 2: every day working out there, it's just it's it's not
Speaker 2: gonna work. And he's not a fantasy option.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now man, now, Mike Trout, Uh, he's just for fun.
Speaker 1: Carson Fulmer remember him strut out eight guys and six
Speaker 1: innings yesterday against the Rockies. But still and Seth Lugo
Speaker 1: one of our favorite pitchers heading into draft season. I
Speaker 1: just want to like highlight their for a second, one run,
Speaker 1: eight innings is eras two five seven. He's been an
Speaker 1: absolute stud, one of the best returns on investment of
Speaker 1: any pitcher this year. Just shout out to you, rookie
Speaker 1: lokie time. Davison Del Santo's oh for two with a
Speaker 1: walk Thursday for Triple A Jacksonville. He did homer twice
Speaker 1: though since the trade happened last week, so just keep
Speaker 1: that in mind. He's up to thirty home runs now
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues. And speaking of guys we like
Speaker 1: that aren't in the major leagues, has some curious to
Speaker 1: have it get options to triple Z.
Speaker 2: So I also want to mention a couple other quick
Speaker 2: things just out of the draft. Christian Moore is already
Speaker 2: going to double A with the Angels. Christian Moore, who
Speaker 2: was taken in the top ten, they was eight out
Speaker 2: of Tennessee, Christian Moore is a stud I really like him.
Speaker 2: Is he hit his first pro homer yesterday. They're already
Speaker 2: moving him up to double A. Angels are totally gonna
Speaker 2: like drop Christian Moore into September into the majors. Just
Speaker 2: watch it. And I've been mentioned the tricky leagues where
Speaker 2: you guys are gonna have these rookies, these guys that
Speaker 2: were just drafted, and you're not going to see their production,
Speaker 2: and it kind of muddies the waters a little bit
Speaker 2: about the production we get to see. And perfect example
Speaker 2: of that is they are called the bridge leagues. We
Speaker 2: have the official name of it. They're called Bridge Leagues.
Speaker 2: They're going on right now. Jack Caglione taking six overall
Speaker 2: by the Royals, is playing here in unsanctioned games that
Speaker 2: you guys know nothing about. I'm going out tomorrow and
Speaker 2: I'm hoping to go and get to see while he
Speaker 2: plays some of these games that are not counting any stats,
Speaker 2: and you guys will have just no idea what they
Speaker 2: look like or anything. But hopefully I can get some
Speaker 2: Kaglion looks nice.
Speaker 1: Nice. My grandma was in a Bridge league. Let's go
Speaker 1: to three up and three down. Paul Golschmith three for
Speaker 1: five for the homer and at double Sonny Gray two runs,
Speaker 1: seven innings, struck out nine but the no decision of
Speaker 1: fortunately and Bobby Wood Junior again an incredible July, starting
Speaker 1: with an incredible August two, two for four with a
Speaker 1: homer and two rubies for him three down, show ta
Speaker 1: Imonaga four runs, ten hits, six and two thirds. Helsley
Speaker 1: was terrible three runs and two thirds of anything. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: blew the save there and kider Montero four runs and
Speaker 1: seven inc So no good for them. Some injury news
Speaker 1: to get to Walker. Buehler charged with four runs and
Speaker 1: three and a third. Matthew Boyd struck out five with
Speaker 1: stars with two runs, one earned over three and two
Speaker 1: Thursday innings in a rehab start. Tristan Kassas remember him
Speaker 1: one for three on Thursday in a minor league rehab contest.
Speaker 1: We're hopefully going to see him, I would think next week,
Speaker 1: if not by the weekend, perhaps we'll see more like
Speaker 1: next week probably Tuesday would be my guest Von Grissom
Speaker 1: to run Homer for him. He's also working his way
Speaker 1: back at Triple A. Wooster Wooster Tyler Molly is going
Speaker 1: to return to the rotation next week for the Rangers,
Speaker 1: so we'll keep an eye on a return date for
Speaker 1: that and Tanner Bibby's gonna have a start push back
Speaker 1: because the shoulder tightness, well she a little worried about
Speaker 1: the shoulder tightness.
Speaker 2: For Biden, the tightness, the tightness gets me a little
Speaker 2: bit worried, especially for that team and that rotation. They
Speaker 2: can't go and acquire any pictures. Don't like it, don't love.
Speaker 1: It, don't like it. No no boy, no, no fantasy.
Speaker 2: Okay, by the way, if you can right now, like
Speaker 2: try to trade him for equal value. See if you can,
Speaker 2: don't deal with the shoulder.
Speaker 1: Well, Bibby's been good. This something cropped up a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago with him too. Remember he had like
Speaker 1: a start bounced back a day or something like that.
Speaker 1: So we'll think good thoughts for ten or Bobby. Also,
Speaker 1: it's Friday, which means it's time for the best Bets
Speaker 1: a Day with Joey p and the Welsh. Make sure
Speaker 1: you are placing those bets over at bet three six
Speaker 1: five bet five bucks get one hundred and fifteen bonus
Speaker 1: bets when you do, only when you use that proo
Speaker 1: code leading off. So sign up today at bet three
Speaker 1: sixty five. Gambling problem called one hundred gambler or one
Speaker 1: hundred bets off in Iowa. Terms and conditions apply. Welsh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it simple here for Friday. Saint Louis
Speaker 1: Cardinals on the money line, Eric Fetti making his debut
Speaker 1: for the Cards against the Cubbies minus one ten. I
Speaker 1: like the opportunity here. I know they kind of crapped
Speaker 1: the bed of the bullpen last night, but some guys
Speaker 1: are starting to hit for the Cardinals a little bit too.
Speaker 1: I like this, so give me minus one ten on
Speaker 1: the money line for Saint Louis. Also, Brendan fought on
Speaker 1: the mound against the Pirates, starting to struggle a little
Speaker 1: bit there. Those Pirates fought coming off a great August
Speaker 1: excuse me, July run there. So they are on the
Speaker 1: money line a little bit heavier juice minus one twenty nine.
Speaker 1: But I still like it today. I think it's a
Speaker 1: good investment. And then Detroit on the money line too,
Speaker 1: Scooble on the mound against Reagan's. We've seen this one before,
Speaker 1: advantage Scooble. So if you're gonna make it tight there,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with school every single time. So that's Detroit, Arizona,
Speaker 1: Saint Louis, all three on the money line. You put
Speaker 1: them together in a parlay, who knows it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a huge night. Those are my best bets of the
Speaker 1: day for Friday, Welsh, what do you have with it? All?
Speaker 2: Right, let's go with Cutter Crawford strikeouts over four and
Speaker 2: a half. Cutter Crawford has definitely put up some big
Speaker 2: strikeout games over the last couple months, and I think
Speaker 2: we can carry it over into today. It's also one
Speaker 2: of the higher K projection overs over on Betting Pros.
Speaker 2: If you can check out Betting Pros the cheat sheet,
Speaker 2: the prop cheat sheet, it's one of the their favorite
Speaker 2: overs on strikeouts today. I've also got a money line play.
Speaker 2: I'm joining you with that Arizona one minus one thirty
Speaker 2: five with Brandon Fott. And then finally I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: to Atlanta on the run line minus one and a
Speaker 2: half at minus one eighteen Atlanta picking it back up
Speaker 2: and picking on other teams with that offense, I'm going
Speaker 2: to be backing Atlanta. That usually has not benefited me
Speaker 2: very well as of recent but we're still going with it.
Speaker 2: So Cutter Crawford Strikeouts over Arizona money line and the
Speaker 2: and the Atlanta run line for my best bets of
Speaker 2: the day.
Speaker 1: There you go, download the Betting Pros apps, think your
Speaker 1: sports books for free. Let's start betting smarter or not
Speaker 1: harder only on Betting Pros. All right, well here we go.
Speaker 1: Why don't you go first for your home run because
Speaker 1: your home run is for the weekend and mine is
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. Let's see how she goes.
Speaker 2: What do you I think? I think I now have like,
Speaker 2: it's almost almost half of my homers I think are
Speaker 2: from Baltimore players with Anthony Santander jumping in. So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go right back to it and go with Gunner.
Speaker 2: Gunner getting it's been a little bit slow the last
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, getting a few hits yesterday. I think
Speaker 2: he's gonna pick it back up. We're gonna take Gunner
Speaker 2: Henderson through the weekend to get me back up on
Speaker 2: the board a little bit, to maybe catch up with Joe.
Speaker 2: But the people want to know who is your perpetuity
Speaker 2: hitter for the rest of the leading offseason.
Speaker 1: Well, Welsh, there's one guy out there that is playing
Speaker 1: for a big ass contract this year, and when it's
Speaker 1: all over, he is going to get a big ass contract.
Speaker 1: My dude, Juan Soto, the one one. We're back to
Speaker 1: Juan Soda. We're going back to him. Everybody loves Judge.
Speaker 1: I see these props out there for Jud's gonnait sixty
Speaker 1: o runs. He's gonna hit sixty three home runs. How
Speaker 1: many over runs gonna had? Oh my god, Wan Soto
Speaker 1: rest of season, I think one Soda is going to
Speaker 1: have an insane close to the year. Somebody's gonna get
Speaker 1: out that checkbook, Welsh on of it's three hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty million, on it's four hundred million. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it's gonna be. It's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: check I know at the end of the day, I
Speaker 1: do have a checkbook because I have a business. I'm
Speaker 1: a businessman.
Speaker 2: Oh right and checked, Oh big joey pe written right,
Speaker 2: all right, check me.
Speaker 1: I have my own LLC AM A very important.
Speaker 2: Gotcha.
Speaker 1: But but I will say this, I do believe that
Speaker 1: Juan Soto is that pick for a reason, and he's
Speaker 1: gonna get paid. The question is is he a Yankee?
Speaker 1: I say no, I say somebody else is gonna pay
Speaker 1: more than the Yankees. And I do think it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: You're gonna say, where do you think.
Speaker 1: He's gonna I do? I've been thinking this, look ever
Speaker 1: since Washington was out on him. To me, that was uncle.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna circle a guy in Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: right as great as Otani is, you know, there's that
Speaker 1: problem with the you know, the elbow, and you know
Speaker 1: there's all that those issues and things like that. And
Speaker 1: he's a little older. Wan Soto is still pretty young,
Speaker 1: all things considered. I think people forget how old Jansoto is. Wesh,
Speaker 1: how old is Wanso?
Speaker 2: He's twenty six, twenty seven. I'm gonna go he's actually.
Speaker 1: Thirteen years old. Oh people, he's twenty.
Speaker 2: Five twicey even young? Okay, good lord.
Speaker 1: So yeah, So if you're gonna pay four hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars to a guy, pay it for a guy who
Speaker 1: the next ten years is gonna be the best player
Speaker 1: in baseball. So give me the one one rest of season.
Speaker 1: Where do you think Won Sota will be next? He stays.
Speaker 2: I think he stays with New York. I think the
Speaker 2: Yankees of maybe even oh. I think he's oh yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I know you do. But I think he says with
Speaker 2: the Yankees, I think they may have even tip their
Speaker 2: hand a little bit on like why were they not
Speaker 2: more aggressive? People getting pissy about the trade deadline? I
Speaker 2: think they want to have as much as they can,
Speaker 2: By the way, have some books clean, not taking on
Speaker 2: too much money or anything like that, because I think
Speaker 2: they're gonna unload for one Sodo he needs to be
Speaker 2: in New York. I think he's the perfect compliment to
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge. They can build around it, and I think
Speaker 2: that's what they'll continue to do. So yeah, I think
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a lot of money, and
Speaker 2: I think the money is gonna be close. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be surprised if the Mets come in at the top,
Speaker 2: top dollar. But I think at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: like he wants his money, but if it's a matter
Speaker 2: of like ten million dollars or something like that over
Speaker 2: the life of the contract and he can stay with
Speaker 2: the Yankees, I think he's gonna stay with the The.
Speaker 1: Yankees are already at three hundred and five million dollars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what do they care? What do they care
Speaker 2: for any of the luxuries.
Speaker 1: To go to three forty or three thirty. I think
Speaker 1: they care, dude. I just don't think they're gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I think that's why they didn't deal Jason Domingez. And
Speaker 1: that's why they're going, Oh, this is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna kind of see it out. We're gonna
Speaker 1: bring in Jazz Chios and we can control him a
Speaker 1: little bit and Dominguez and we're gonna sell it to
Speaker 1: the people that way. That's what I think we'll see
Speaker 1: we'll see all you Yankee fans. We'll see if Garret
Speaker 1: Cole makes it too. By the way, would you think
Speaker 1: of general fatigue with Garret Cole earlier this week? Did
Speaker 1: you get a little yeah, a little bit. I mean
Speaker 1: like that would be the only thing better than Junior
Speaker 1: caman Aro big coming up, Garret Cole going to the.
Speaker 2: That would have actually been that would have been. It
Speaker 2: wouldn't have been like actually funny for a fantasy team
Speaker 2: of mine or two, but for like the show, it
Speaker 2: would have been pretty good. Yeah, I will say I
Speaker 2: think it's kind of in the middle of what we
Speaker 2: both said, like I'm not gonna take a total l
Speaker 2: and like that. I thought he could return as a
Speaker 2: top ten sp but you're just like he's crap and
Speaker 2: he's gonna be nothing. He's kind of in the middle
Speaker 2: of that right now. The general fatigue thing is not
Speaker 2: super great for the long term, but you hope this
Speaker 2: is just the one fatigue and it's not gonna be
Speaker 2: like weep every two weeks, gotta take a break. Hey,
Speaker 2: look at me, I'm Joey p can't be around in August.
Speaker 2: Look at Garret Cole. What gar Cole and Joey pa
Speaker 2: not have not doing baseball from working.
Speaker 1: I don't see him making two starts a day I'm
Speaker 1: hosting to her.
Speaker 2: Maybe he likes fantasy justin Steal does.
Speaker 1: Maybe well, you know, well, there's only one way to
Speaker 1: go out for today. Uh and before we go, we
Speaker 1: have to play once again. Shout out to our incredible
Speaker 1: production team, especially Michael Kelly who put this together. Let's
Speaker 1: play our song and then we'll say goodbye, should we
Speaker 1: quean man with stance and hands fail and no design?
Speaker 2: Crane of Sam Fantasy.
Speaker 3: Talking about diamond dreams, chas and players whispering their schemes.
Speaker 1: Oh wells breaking it down real so much in the radio.
Speaker 3: Talking monsters on the baseball field with it swinging his
Speaker 3: beast and magic shes Fantasy.
Speaker 1: Baseball in the nine.
Speaker 3: Podcast Skin enough that size locks and starts.
Speaker 1: You gotta love that, Oh Fantasy baseball. You know.
Speaker 2: The big question is gonna be all of the listen.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's so funny we're talking about this,
Speaker 2: like two more months of this show. It's just Joe's
Speaker 2: gonna be gone. But it is funny that, like I
Speaker 2: usually come on that last year, I haven't I have
Speaker 2: scheduled for that last show. Oh yeah, just letting you know,
Speaker 2: just letting you know you are scheduled for that. But
Speaker 2: it is funny because like we have briefly talked about it,
Speaker 2: but we we haven't done like a ton of it.
Speaker 2: But you know, behind the scenes, like we destroyed in
Speaker 2: baseball this year, Like what we what we've done lading
Speaker 2: up to today, murdered last year. So the big question
Speaker 2: as people are like, oh Joe's gone, doesn't want to
Speaker 2: check out or whatever, blah blah blah, it's gonna be
Speaker 2: can we annihilate next year? Can we Can we finish
Speaker 2: out this year strong as hell? And then can we
Speaker 2: just blow out next year again? Because we we made
Speaker 2: more of an imprint on Baby Spall then I think
Speaker 2: Fantasy pros is even ready to understand.
Speaker 1: Then anybody could have imagined. And the we is the
Speaker 1: royal we. It's the p that's the cracker Jacks. The
Speaker 1: people on our discord, the people use the tools. The
Speaker 1: people were here watching these two tools every day on
Speaker 1: this show. You guys are the show. We are the
Speaker 1: show together, it's our show. And I think that's very special,
Speaker 1: and I think that that's what makes this work So
Speaker 1: even if you have a bad day, you turn this on,
Speaker 1: or even if Fantasy Teams thinks and everybody's hurt, you
Speaker 1: turn this on. You feel a little bit better for
Speaker 1: a half hour. That's what we try to do here
Speaker 1: every single day, and that's what we're gonna keep doing here.
Speaker 1: We crushed, as Welsh's saying, the numbers that the people
Speaker 1: projected for us, and I'm so proud of what we're
Speaker 1: doing here and proving that baseball is something people still
Speaker 1: very much care about and will show up for every
Speaker 1: single day, and it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: And them not realizing how important like it has become.
Speaker 2: So here's what I will say. I am still here
