Speaker 1: also know you're a big fan of curby your enthusiasm.

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how caught up you are right now.

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: I am, But the other day I was at my

22
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: daughter's play and someone hung their jacket over the back

23
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: of a chair in front of me, and that's all

24
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: I could think about the rest of the show. Are

25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: you ready for that to happen now for the rest

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: of your life?

27
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: I am very caught up, you know. I I watched

28
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: the first two live and then I've been maxing the rest.

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: I've been going to the app and watching. I think

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: either halfway when it's over, or like the next day.

31
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: But yes, I totally feel you. My I think my

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: jacket is on my other chair, by the way I

33
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: get it, put it on my head, or I feel like.

34
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 3: I'm missing out by the way like I've had people no, no,

35
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: but I've had people tell me like I am Larry David,

36
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: like my personality. And the only bit I can recall recently,

37
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: and it had me on the floor, was to thank

38
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: you for your service bit and it had me just

39
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: dying and crying.

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: And I feel like I need to digest a lot

41
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: of curb I.

42
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: Would say, I would say for the show in particular. Look,

43
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: they've had a lot of seasons. It's really funny when

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: you go on the app on max it can, it

45
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: shows you, like all the years the first season was

46
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: two thousand, those like twenty four years ago. They all

47
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: look like completely different and we were like me and

48
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: my wife were like scrolling through all of the past

49
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: seasons and all and like some were like, ah, this

50
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: season in particular, it has been an elite season. It

51
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: is very funny, a lot of really good, funny, laugh

52
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: out loud jokes.

53
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: It's been one of the best ones. And I'm very

54
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: sad that they're ending it because I feel like they're

55
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 1: leaving on a well again, leaving on a high note.

56
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: That's classic Larry David at the end of the day,

57
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: so maybe not so weird after all, but Welsh, I'll

58
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: explain to be a little jacket over the chair thing.

59
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: After the show. We're here to talk about baseball. And

67
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: at the future, so we're gonna go through some win totals,

68
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: our favorite over unders. Get Craig's opinion on those, maybe

69
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: he has won for us as well. We're also gonna

70
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: talk about our favorite season long props, and of course

71
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: the awards, which is why you come here, because Joey

72
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: Futures never let you down on the awards. We have

73
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: been rolling Welsh last couple of years getting all these

74
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: real well maybe me maybe a little bit more meat.

75
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 3: But CORNA Carroll was my only Corvin Carroll was myster bet.

76
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: Last year I paid, but I didn't cash. Futures haven't

77
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: been the best futures guy, but I'm turning that around

78
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: this year.

79
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: That's right, Corbyn Carrol, Gunner Henderson Combo special on FANDO

80
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: last year was very pretty. We love that one. So

81
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: let's start here with our favorite overs and unders. Craig,

82
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: My favorite over this year going into twenty twenty four

83
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: is the San Diego Padres. I look at this pitching staff.

84
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: I know the fifth starter Brito look pretty good this spring,

85
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: but really, you bring in cease Darvish's elbows all cleaned up.

86
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Joe Musgrove when he is right, he is elite. And

87
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: then of course the acquisition of Michael King has nothing

88
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: to sneeze at as well. This is a really good rotation.

89
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: They've still got plenty of offense there with Machada, with Tatis,

90
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: with Xander Boguards. Eighty five and a half is the

91
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: number I'm going over on that. I know the West

92
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: is very competitive. Do you think the Padres with that

93
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: rotation can be competitive and go over or under this

94
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: eighty five and a half.

95
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but look, there's a lot to unpack with all

96
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: of the totals. You know. The first thing that I

97
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: think that we all fall victim to is and it's

98
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: not that the Padres don't have a good rotation. It's

99
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: just a notion of thinking, like we'll even be talking

100
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: about these pitchers in August and September. It's just I

101
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: can't believe what's going on in baseball with the amount

102
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: of injuries every year that we have to endure and

103
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: see so many different players there as far as the

104
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: talent is concerned, I mean, the key name that you

105
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: mentioned with the Padres, Joe for this to go over,

106
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: in my opinion, has got to be Xander Bogart's. You

107
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: cannot give a player three hundred million dollars and now

108
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you move them the second base

109
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: and then not get the production that you thought another player.

110
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: I think that is, you know, maybe better than all

111
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: of the other players you just mentioned on the Padres.

112
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: Actually Hassan Kim. I think Hassan Kim is a phenomenal

113
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: player that is ready for a big breakout, as if

114
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: he didn't have it already. I think that he could

115
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: break out too. So I don't know that it would

116
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: be my favorite one on the board, only because again,

117
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are formidable, the Diamondbacks are formidable. I think

118
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: the Giants will not be. I think that that was

119
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: just you know, throwing money around, which is great and

120
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: it makes the fans happy and maybe put some fans

121
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: in the stands. I know that they've struggled with that

122
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. Rockies aren't going to be good,

123
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 2: But I do see the Padres as a third place team,

124
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: so I think that total is fair. It's not that

125
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: I love it or hate it. I just think it's

126
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: going to be right around that number that they gave

127
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: out Welsh.

128
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite overheading into the season of

129
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: any of the win totals of team.

130
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've actually got so, I got two. I'm gonna

131
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: do one little cheach, the little cheechy cheek.

132
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: I am an over, but this is going to be

133
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 3: a little homersm. But the minute the Diamondbacks signed Jordan Montgomery,

134
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm gonna go look at that win

135
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: total again, and it was still sitting. You can sometimes

136
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 3: get it at eighty two and a half, at eighty

137
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: three and a half. I bet the Diamondbacks win total

138
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 3: at eighty three and a half over, it's now moved

139
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: up a full win And now you could be like, oh,

140
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: Jordan Montgomery, but listen, Jordan Montgomery, that's a war player.

141
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: They needed depth in that rotation. That was the biggest

142
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: hole this team was facing. Even though they just lost Seawold.

143
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 3: Their bullpen is better than it was and in a

144
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 3: much better place than it was last year. Their offense

145
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: is in a great spot. They're spending and guess what,

146
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: they still have assets to make moves in the season.

147
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: So they got eighty four wins last year. I love

148
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: that one. We'll get Craig's take on it. But my

149
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: favorite one into this, it's a not ninety win team.

150
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 3: Eighty eight and a half over for the Phillies, and

151
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: I think the Phillies are going to be an absolute

152
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: scare in the NL. Zach Wheeler. I'm not the biggest

153
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: Aeronola guy, but Zach Wheeler I think is going to

154
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 3: be at the forefront of the Cy Young Award and

155
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: that offense, but behind a completely healthy Bryce Harper, behind

156
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: Alec Bohm was taking a step Bryson Stott casting on.

157
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: I mean, you can go down the list. It's a

158
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: power offense. It's really like what the Mariners want to be.

159
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 3: You have a great rotation with this really big power offense.

160
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: Mariners are just missing it. So eighty eight and a

161
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 3: half after this team won ninety last year, the Phillies

162
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: are my pick, but the Diamondbacks are my overachieve Craig,

163
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: what do you think about both those?

164
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean in all the teams that we discussed,

165
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: I think Arizona is the one probably with the most

166
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: potential there because again in analyzing all three of those overs,

167
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: the Phillies are a little bit inflated at the number

168
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: that they're already at and nobody would be upset with

169
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: the Phillies winning eighty seven games. The San Diego Padres

170
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: at eighty four, eighty five to me fields right around

171
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: the number, and I think that you would have to

172
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: ask significant questions in July and August as to whether

173
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: or not they're fully committed to winning. I don't know

174
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: that they would push their foot on the pedal. I

175
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: think that they may just say, okay, let's see how

176
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: we do. Arizona's all in. So at this point for

177
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks, you know that when things are close, expiring

178
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: contracts from other players and taking on money, that's a

179
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: team that's going to do it. So that's when I

180
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: look at these win totals. That is really the bottom

181
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: line for me is I don't care what's going on

182
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: right now. I want to know that my team that

183
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: i'm taking an over in is going to buy players

184
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: at the trade deadline. And if I can't guarantee that,

185
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: then I'm not betting me over because that I mean

186
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: the most. I would think the thing that has not

187
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: talked about enough within Major League Baseball clubhouses, what happens

188
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: that doesn't get talked about, like on the outside. Here

189
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: is what a player does when he comes over to

190
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: a new team and how that team feels when they're there.

191
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: It can be like an insignificant player, but it shows

192
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: the rest of the clubhouse, Hey, this team is committed,

193
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 2: we are going for it, and it gives that little

194
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: boost to the team. And take a look at that.

195
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: All the teams sort of play better at that point. Now,

196
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: the Angels did not last year. They got all those

197
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: players for a ton and then they got rid of

198
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: them all. But to me, it's why I think of

199
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: the ones we just talked about, the Diamondbacks would be

200
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: the one because they get to that trade deadline, whatever

201
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: pieces they're missing. I think they take it.

202
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: Like you said that too, that knowing your team is

203
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: going to be willing to spend when push comes to shove,

204
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: that's a really great way to look at it. And

205
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: identifying the teams that are willing to just go all

206
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: in throughout the rest of the season is something to

207
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 3: pay attention to because it's getting a little bit tougher

208
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: for us to have teams that are out of it

209
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 3: sooner just because of the extra wild card spot. Teams

210
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 3: are kind of hanging around further but who are going

211
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: to be the most aggressive teams? And a team like

212
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks have proven to be hyper aggressive this offseason.

213
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the angel is certainly a team that I'm

214
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: sure we could talk a little bit more about in

215
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: just a second, because that's one I was going to

216
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: it first, but I found another under that I like

217
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: even more. And I worked enough with my good friend

218
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: Craig Misch over the last decade plus to know that

219
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: you fade the public. And I'm looking at the Yankees

220
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: right now, look at the Garrett Cole situation. I'm looking

221
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: at this number of ninety one and a half games,

222
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: and I'm an under. DJ Lemayhew has not hit he's

223
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: supposed to hit. At the top of this order. Soto

224
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: is going to be a one and done probably as

225
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: a Yankee most feel like it. The toe of Aaron

226
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: Judge is in question. I'm looking at this lineup in

227
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: the second half of it. Yeah, Laborator has had a

228
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: great year last year, Bolpie I expect to be good,

229
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: but there's definitely some holes here. Not to mention the

230
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: inconsistencies potentially in this rotation. Ninety one and a half

231
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: is a big number right now in a division that

232
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: is going to be very competitive. Mish, I'm going under

233
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: on the Yankees. I think this is the class you know,

234
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: over number of You know, you get this number so

235
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: high because it's the Yankees, because it's Garret Cole, because

236
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Judge and all the star power. But we're

237
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: not looking hard enough all the deficits of the Yankees.

238
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: You mentioned a team that's got the willingness to spend

239
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: and go out there and add players. I don't know

240
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: if the Yankees are in that position to do that

241
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: necessarily because they like to maintain some of these young

242
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: players that they have. They already went and moved Michael

243
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: King to bring in Won Soto, so you can argue

244
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: they already fired their shot. What do you think of

245
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: this ninety one and a half when it comes to

246
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: the Yankees, Craig, you gotta.

247
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 2: Be every year with the Yankees. When you bet the over,

248
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: you're betting on the Pinstripes. It's a problem. And again,

249
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's the most popular bet in sports books.

250
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: They're always the most overinflated odds for every team. There's

251
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: a few teams out there that are like this. It's

252
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: the New York Yankees. It's nore Dame, It's Alabama. It

253
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: was the New England Patriots for a long time, and

254
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: you just simply look at the jersey and the hat

255
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: and think, oh, it's the Yankees. It is not the

256
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: case this year. And I got to tell you, this

257
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 2: team's the same talent. Put the Tiger's uniform on them,

258
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 2: put the Royals uniforms on them, and there's no possible

259
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: way this total could be at ninety one. I mean, guys,

260
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 2: they just listen. I'm not saying they should have signed

261
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: Snell or Montgomery. Okay, I'm fine with them not signing either,

262
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: because I think I know what their team's gonna be,

263
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: so I don't blame them. But they didn't do it.

264
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: So what makes you think all of a sudden they're

265
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: gonna just reverse course midway through the season. With Brian Cashman,

266
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: who's been there for I don't know how long, thirty years, twenty.

267
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: Five, just about almost as long as you and I

268
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: have been together, which is a long time.

269
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: It's a good team, it's not a great team if

270
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 2: they're not in it. Are they trading Soto? Maybe? Maybe?

271
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: Like losing Coal is just a monster loss to start

272
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 2: the season and relying on Cortes and Rodan and they

273
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: both may be great and maybe and this is baseball

274
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: and it's sports and it's humans. It's hard to predict

275
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: this stuff. But not a lot of innings from these

276
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: guys over the last couple of years. The Yankees are

277
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: not gonna lose one hundred games, okay or ninety five.

278
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: Let's not get it twisted. There's so much talent on

279
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: that team that they'll be okay. But I am in

280
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: agreement with you, Joe. I don't think this is a

281
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: postseason team. I think Baltimore is. I think Tampa Bay

282
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: will be. They go when they got over seven in.

283
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: A row, tive every year and they're and again on

284
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: the board again, they're.

285
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: Gonna do it again.

286
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 3: They're also going to get that glut of pictures that

287
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: are coming off injury, like McClanahan might come out.

288
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: Back at the back end or maybe Jeffrey Spring and

289
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: they'll get camin Arow at some point too. So they're

290
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: basically adding pieces without.

291
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 4: But the key.

292
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: The key y I have Toronto ahead of of the

293
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: Yankees is what I what I would bet on is

294
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: pressure like you see it in San Francisco. I don't

295
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: know if it's gonna work, but there's a lot of

296
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: pressure for the Giants to win. I mean, jobs are

297
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: on the line, guys. Jobs are on the line in

298
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: Toronto too, and so there's pressure right there. And I

299
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: feel like that team is going to say, hey, this

300
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 2: window is like like like we gotta go in. Uh

301
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: So I think Toronto's better than the Yankees. Also, I

302
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: think the Yankees finished four.

303
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: Actually one quick thing, Craig, because I'm curious about this.

304
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: I don't disagree like Luis Eel and Kart and Clark Schmidt,

305
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: like that looks like back into the Royals rotation and

306
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 3: not a Yankees' rotation. If the Yankees were to go

307
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 3: just hypothetically make a move in the next two weeks

308
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: they were in on the trying to get Jordan Montgomery

309
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 3: just sign didn't happen. They keep trying to poke around.

310
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: If they were to make a move and show aggression,

311
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: would you feel any different or is it just the

312
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: same story repeating itself with the Yankees team.

313
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: Maybe, But like I look at the Yankees offense, and

314
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: while I think it is good, I still think it

315
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: is very much of the summer of all or nothing.

316
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: They go through these periods of time where guys, you

317
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: know the story, it's June tenth. I can see it

318
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: in my mind. The Yankees have been shut out five

319
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: games in a row. Aaron Boone's gonna get fired, and

320
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: this guy's gotta go. It happens every year. This is

321
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 2: the way that they're built. They didn't change the construction

322
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: of the team. They don't have Trey Turner, you know,

323
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: like they don't have that guy there. They got some

324
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: big guys that hit home runs. No, SODA's gonna get

325
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: on base. Judge is gonna hit a home run and

326
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: drive him home. What about the game that he doesn't

327
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen that game? Are they gonna get shut out? Like?

328
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: This is sort of how they're built. I think they

329
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: need a reconfiguration and a reconstruction as to how they're

330
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: doing things now. Pitching that's really hard to do. I

331
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: think they've tried, like they've tried with the pitching. They

332
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: tried with rodin Their bullpen is fine. They got some

333
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: hard throwers there. I think they'll be in good shape there.

334
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: I like the back end of their bullpen too, But

335
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: I just think as it compares to teams of Yankee

336
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 2: lore that are winning the World Series and getting on base.

337
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: And we saw it last year with a Kunya and Carol.

338
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: I mean, guys are stealing eighty bases again. The Yankees

339
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: just didn't change anything. They're just rolling right again.

340
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: Volpi will be at the top of that lineup before

341
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: Memorial Day. I'm calling it right now. If they have

342
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: any chance, they've got to try to make some kind

343
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: of change the air Welsh. When you look at the unders,

344
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: which one pops to you?

345
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 3: Well, I guess this is gonna seem kind of lame

346
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 3: because I'm gonna I looked immediately at the two worst

347
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: teams in MLB, and I'm like, why are their win

348
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: totals higher than what they want last year? And I

349
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: couldn't decide, so I'll just kind of throw both at you.

350
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: The Colorado Rockies are a bad pitching team, but their

351
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: offense could still be kind of sneaky. Tovar resigned in

352
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: the contract, Nolan Jones absolutely a dude. Chris Bryant on

353
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 3: any type of bounce back, that offense could do something.

354
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: But the pitching staff is laughable, and they're in the

355
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: toughest division in baseball. That's what's really difficult about it, Like,

356
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 3: how are you going to pull all of those wins

357
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: from the Diamondbacks, from the Giants, from the Padres, from

358
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: the Dodgers and their totals at sixty and a half

359
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: they won fifty nine last year. That was one, but

360
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: the one I jumped in on was the obvious Oakland A's,

361
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: who are just an overall disaster. Here's something that A's

362
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: don't have any offensive talent that the Rockies have. There

363
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: is really no.

364
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: Tovar over there.

365
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: Estrui Ruiz and Zach Geloff are interesting, but there isn't

366
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: massive offensive talent there really really isn't a ton of

367
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 3: great pitching talent. Mason Miller, that's a guy that can

368
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 3: close down games. But when I look at their win total,

369
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: they won fifty games last year, they're at fifty seven

370
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: and a half. This team is just a ragtag group.

371
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: Maybe they can pull some wins together. I don't see

372
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: how either one of the A's or the Rockies are

373
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: going to overtake their win totals, and their win totals

374
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: are higher this year, so I would take the under

375
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: on both. Really, but I did pinpoint the A's as

376
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: the team who are seven and a half games higher

377
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: than their win total last year.

378
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 4: I will take that under all day.

379
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't think they improve by seven games this offseason. Welsh,

380
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: I would agree with that statement. Miss. Is there a

381
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: team for you that stands out either the over underside

382
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: that you say, hey, look, I just feel very strongly

383
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: about this team total being one way or the other.

384
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: Right, So a couple of things. First of all, we're

385
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: doing this for twenty thirty years. I could tell you

386
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: my philosophy on this stuff. And it's not that I

387
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: don't agree with what you guys are saying. But I

388
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: always stay away from the bottom, sure, and I always

389
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: stay away from the top because I just feel like

390
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: every team is going to win fifty games. So what

391
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: is really required at this point to get to fifty

392
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: eight or fifty nine. It's one hot streak in June

393
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: or July or maybe in September. So I stay away

394
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: from the bottom, and I also stay away from the top,

395
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: because what could happen at the top. The team clinches,

396
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: they're not really playing hard at the end of September,

397
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, the team that has

398
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: a win total of one hundred and one wins ninety nine,

399
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: You're like, oh my gosh, but they were so great

400
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: all year, they just didn't care the last week. As

401
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 2: a rule of thumb, I just stay away from those

402
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 2: not to say that what you're saying can't happen, but

403
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: that's just not what I subscribe to. I subscribe to

404
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: the middle. I'm always looking at the middle, the teams

405
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: in the seventies the low eighties, and I want to

406
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: look at those teams, see what they did last year,

407
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: see what they did this year, attack the free agency

408
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: for them, and ask myself the question how many players

409
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: on this team did they sign to multi year deals,

410
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: and how many players at the end of the season

411
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: could potentially be moved. Because everyone wants to bet an

412
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: under and more or and over and more. People are

413
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: going to always bet the over than bet the under,

414
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: where the value is always on the under. In professional college,

415
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 2: all sports, it's more fun to bet and over, but

416
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: you're going to win more money betting the under. And

417
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 2: this year in particular, the one team that I looked

418
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: at it was Los Angeles Angels. I mean, this is

419
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: a team that won seventy three, seventy four games, whatever

420
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: it was last year, they had the highest guy in

421
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: War in Major League Baseball and he is not on

422
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: the team. So what is the adjustment two wins or

423
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: the Fando sportsbook. I don't think so. They did nothing

424
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: in the offseason. They added one pitcher, I believe it,

425
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: Robert Stevenson, if I'm not mistaken, he's yeah, he's hurt

426
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: the start year. And then the other part of this

427
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: is that you know, again they're chasing around the five

428
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 2: hundred mark. Last year, they added players. Are they gonna

429
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 2: trade by Trout this year? Guys, I think you legitimately

430
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 2: have to ask yourself that question. I think it could

431
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: potentially happen. I think that Trout may be playing his

432
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: last days with the Angels. It was at least talked

433
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 2: about in the offseason. They said they were not going

434
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 2: to do it. I think it would be best for

435
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 2: the organization to do so. They have Netto, they have

436
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: Brandon Drury, they have okay players. But I think this

437
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: is one hundred lost team this year.

438
00:18:59,359 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: Guys.

439
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: I think this is one of the worst teams in baseball.

440
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: They did nothing, nothing and again extrapolating War positively or

441
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: negatively to a team based on free agency uh and

442
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: based on what happened the season to go, you take

443
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: away Otani's war, you give Trout plus one or plus

444
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 2: two more because he missed some You got to do

445
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: that because he missed a lot of the season, but he.

446
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 1: Misses every year. I don't know if we have to

447
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: do that.

448
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: Well, let's just do it for the sake of it.

449
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: Let's just do it.

450
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: Let's say let's say places I remember so plus two

451
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: given plus two in war. The Angels are going to

452
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: lose a lot of games, guys, And I think it's

453
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: time for them, unfortunately, for that family of owners to

454
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: take a hard look at that team and say it.

455
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: And they don't have And by the way, they trade

456
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: guys away, guys, who are they calling up that?

457
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: You know? That's the other problem that worked me, Yes,

458
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: and and I think that was you know, I Welsh know.

459
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 1: This is all I said all summer long. If the

460
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: Angels don't trade Otani, they're doing it wrong. They are

461
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: going to miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime

462
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: to catch it on a player. And what happened they

463
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: didn't and then what happened disaster struck. I mean, it's

464
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: just the worst case scenario for the Angels, and now

465
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: they're going to live in that mistake for the next decade,

466
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: and it's going to set them back for a decade.

467
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at our favorite season long props

468
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: or player futures. I've got one here, Matt Olsen to

469
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: lead the league in homers at plus nine hundred. This

470
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: is a phenomenal number for a guy who at fifty

471
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: home runs last year. To me, this makes a lot

472
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: of sense. Welsh, you've got one with Oneal Cruse. I

473
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 1: want you to throw that out there to miss as well.

474
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: I want to get his take on Olsen to lead

475
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: the league in home runs at plus nine hundred and

476
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: your cruise in the home run total of Bain.

477
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: I believe I got another one we can throw out there,

478
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: but it's not home runs. This is in the home

479
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 3: run market, So mine's not as sexy as yours because

480
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: you're getting big plus money because you're going for season leader.

481
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: This is one I just feel staunched about.

482
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: And it is O'Neal.

483
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 3: Cruz home run total over twenty four and a half.

484
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 3: I think three four unit bet that one. I'm probably

485
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 3: going to bet it again. Yes, he could be the

486
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 3: next Michel Franco and be the best spring training player

487
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 3: and completely disappear into the season. Here's what I feel

488
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: confident about. The only way this does not hit is

489
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 3: if he gets hurt and he's not playing games.

490
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 4: That's it. If he's playing the games, this is going

491
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 4: to hit. The bad ex projection.

492
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 3: Our friend Derek Carty has it twenty five homers in

493
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty games. Everyone is right around that marker.

494
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 3: Seven homers in spring training just a good reminder of

495
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: everybody of what the pure rock power is. I firmly

496
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: believe he's hitting thirty. There's another bet you can find

497
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 3: on some books is the plus thirty home run marker.

498
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 3: So over twenty four and a half Onio cruise is

499
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 3: like my favorite season long just store your money away

500
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 3: and wait till the end of the season.

501
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: Bet.

502
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

503
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: I think this is a very reminiscent Welsh to me

504
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: of this particular player. You can't do it with veterans

505
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 2: in spring training because generally speaking it doesn't mean anything

506
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 2: what they do. Yeah, But with younger players with some

507
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: talent and some pedigree, boy, this reminds me a lot

508
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 2: of when Trevor Story had that spring training a couple

509
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: of years, several years ago, and everyone's like Trevor story, Wow,

510
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 2: this guy's great, and it's like, oh, he can't possibly

511
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 2: get fourteen home runs in the spring, can't possibly do this.

512
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 2: And then the season started and this guy just kept

513
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 2: going all throughout the season. I agree with you, Welsh.

514
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: I think O'Neil Cruz is gonna fly over that number.

515
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: I think that's the kind of spring where you can

516
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: take that and say, hey, look, if this guy just

517
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: keeps rolling, there's no stopping him. So I'm in agreement

518
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: with you. It reminds me of that where we looked

519
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 2: at a young player at the time didn't know a

520
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 2: ton about him. I still don't think we know a

521
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: ton about O'Neil Cruiz. He missed almost all of last year.

522
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: This could truly be the breakout. It seems like he's

523
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: figured some things out.

524
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: Let's get to the awards here for American League MVP.

525
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: Welsh and I are in lockstep now. Julio was my

526
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: guy last year, just to remind everybody, and if Atani

527
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: got traded, I'm telling you I would have been right.

528
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: But Julio, I'm back in. I'm doubling down here. Craig

529
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: Mish plus one thousand. Welsh is on board and we're

530
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: also together too. On the chalk that's a Kunia plus

531
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: five twenty five. That's a consensus you'll find over at

532
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: betting pros right now. Oh, Tani was the guy I

533
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: was going for until this stuff started to pop, with

534
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: the whole gambling situation. I keep saying, and I've always

535
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: said this, their media awards, their narrative Awards. I feel

536
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: like there's too many old school baseball writers have a

537
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: vote that any cloud of suspicion with the gambling thing,

538
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: people are going to hold that against him, no matter

539
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: he's innocent, guilty or investigation still going on innocent until

540
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: proven guilty for whatever involvement he might have had. Do

541
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: you think that I'm overreacting Welsh here? Do you think

542
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: that's not that I.

543
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: Hate I actually hate to agree with you on this,

544
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: not that I don't like to agree with you, but

545
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 3: like that kind of pushed me off.

546
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 4: You remember we were doing shows in January. I say

547
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 4: that I think Tani could.

548
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 3: Have been the sneaky MVP. How could he do it

549
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 3: when there's Freeman and Bets all the best players on

550
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 3: the same team. But Tani comes in and changes the

551
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 3: dynamic of this team his RBI.

552
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: Numbers by hitting fifty five home runs. Of course, he

553
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: is capable of doing the.

554
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: Other two arms and stealing twenty plus bases and being

555
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 3: a fully focused offensive player. I think he could take

556
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: the Dodgers to the next step, which would have put

557
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: him in unanimous mvpiece. But I legit do think that

558
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: there's going to be those people in the back of

559
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 3: their mind that aren't going to want to push it

560
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: because of the questions.

561
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 4: It's a it's a crap.

562
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 3: Reason to not want to bet someone on it, but

563
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: it makes me want to move off of it. I'm

564
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 3: still paying attention to it. But yeah, I'm with the

565
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: Akunya at like over five to one. That just seems

566
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: like that's not low enough of a number where I'm like,

567
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: I'm not really getting a great bet, kind of like

568
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 3: the cy Young Award winner in the NL. It's a

569
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 3: good enough bet for Akunya to not have to screw around.

570
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 3: But yeah, the Otani stuff, I'm sadly there with you,

571
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: but it might be too big of a narrative and

572
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: too fresh. Craig, I don't know if you think we're all,

573
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: we're just being too conspiracy ridiculous.

574
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, missions in those back rooms smoking cigars with those

575
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: guys who make those kind of votes. You're that you're

576
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: in those rooms. Miss What do you think are re

577
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: overreacting to this Otani stuff?

578
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: I think it's fair, But I also think Otani had

579
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: a hard time winning the MVP while he was pitching

580
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 2: and hitting, and they almost, you know, gave it to

581
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 2: other players too, and you know, Aaron Judge, and I

582
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 2: just don't think he's gonna win the MVP. I think

583
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: he's gonna have a great year. I think he's gonna

584
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: hit a lot of home runs. He's going to be fantastic.

585
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 2: But you take the pitching out of it. And by

586
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: the way, how does anybody win the MVP when this

587
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 2: guy pitches and hits. I'm sorry, He's the MVP for

588
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: me every single year, right, But now that he's not

589
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: doing it this year, I think I think that there's

590
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: some sort of lag on giving the MVP to the

591
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 2: same guy over and over again, and they sort of

592
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 2: find a way to give it to somebody else. Whether

593
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: or not this will affect him, I'm not really sure,

594
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: but I would not pick him to win the MVP.

595
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: We also have our al Cy Young's coming from the

596
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: same team, but two different guys. Welsh of course is

597
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: on that George Kirby training plus thirteen hundred. I'm on

598
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: Castillo a plus one thousand. We're both on Spencer Streider.

599
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: It's really Strider or Bus. But you're still getting a

600
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: really good number of plus four to twenty five though,

601
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: though Wheeler I think.

602
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 4: Is interesting at eight to one. I just pointing that out.

603
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 3: It's a big gap between one and two and the

604
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 3: NL Cy Young betting market. You're getting just bigger odds

605
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 3: just jumping over to wheel I mean, I personally think,

606
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 3: you know, Philly's gonna win a bunch of games, big

607
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: strikeout numbers. I don't hate that one. But Stryder's like,

608
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 3: there's no chance I don't not bet Strider. And then

609
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna bet Wheeler just a little bit less ahead, sure,

610
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: that's hedging exactly.

611
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: Mish. What do you think about these names here, Strider, Castillo, Kirby,

612
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: even Wheeler. Do you think these guys are the ones

613
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: we should be targeting or is there somebody else really

614
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: sticks out to you?

615
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

616
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 2: In the NL Strider is like in that sort of

617
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: elite tier from you know, the Verlanders. Johan Santana's Pedro

618
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: Martinez is like going into the season. He is really

619
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: like kind of by himself, I think going into the

620
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: year with his potential with the al I like, I

621
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: like your guys' choices, and I do think, look, Seattle

622
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 2: is a great pitching staff. But I'm shooting a little

623
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: bit deeper. If it was me, I think Tarik Schooble

624
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: would be the pick that I would make really win

625
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: the cy Young. Yeah, I do think so. I remember

626
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: before he got hurt, this looked like a two hundred

627
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: and fifty strikeout type guy. I think the rains are

628
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 2: completely off this season. I think Detroit's going to be

629
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: better than people think too. I think they're going to

630
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 2: have an oh pay season, and I think that Schooble

631
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 2: will will win the cy Young. That will be my

632
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 2: pick this year. That's that would be the shot that

633
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 2: I would take.

634
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: The Tiger's finally starting to see some fruits of all

635
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: of those many many early way they've had for a

636
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: decade and a half.

637
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 3: On the win total for the Tigers, that's not an

638
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 3: aggressive line. That's a pretty aggressive line for the Tigers.

639
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: We've also got the Rookie of the Year. Last year,

640
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: we did nail this on the show. Just in case

641
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: you're keeping score at home this year, again, it's hard

642
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: not to be chalky here. In the American League, Welsh

643
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: and I both landed on Langford at plus two twenty five,

644
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: which is again still a pretty decent number at this point,

645
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: so at least gets something in that market. Now for

646
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: the nationally Rooki of the Year, I went show to

647
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: Imanaga a plus sixteen hundred. Tremendous opportunity there in terms

648
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: of return on investment, I think the Cubs could win

649
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: that central I love him and steal. At the top

650
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: of this rotation, Welsh went Jackson Curio at plus six hundred.

651
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: There the everyday player always a good wager, So I

652
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: know it's tough for some times for pitchers to win

653
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: these awards. They tend to go to the everyday players,

654
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: but not always so Welsh, I know you've made your selections, Miss,

655
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: What do you think here about the rookies, because this,

656
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: I keep saying has the potential to be one of

657
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: these special rookie classes that we've seen since maybe the

658
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: eighty six rookie class. Right that it was just the

659
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson's and the Barry Bonds and all these guys

660
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: just came up. We didn't talk about Caminaro, we didn't

661
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: talk about Hvan Carter, we didn't talk about any of

662
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: the other Orioles guys in mine put through that system. Jackson, Holiday, Jackson, Merrill,

663
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: anyone named Jackson. Basically, so many choices, mash. So what

664
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: do you do? How do you approach this rookie of

665
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: the year market.

666
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've talked to a lot of people who really

667
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 2: like Himanaga. I think that's a good call. I think

668
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 2: that you know him getting a lot of starts. Apparently

669
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: he's got this fastball that it looks like it's coming

670
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 2: at you and then all of a sudden it leg

671
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: goes over your head, Like I haven't seen anything like

672
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 2: this guy in a while. And track record does tell

673
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: you historically in Major League Baseball, the first season and

674
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 2: sometimes guys, let's be honest, only the first season when

675
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: these guys come over or from overseas, they're so good

676
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 2: like the first year and then it's like, oh they

677
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: get caught up, they get the video and that's it.

678
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: But I do like that pick Joe of him and aga.

679
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: I think that's a good one. I mean, in the

680
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: al I mean, I'm definitely taking Jackson Holliday to win

681
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: the Rookie of the Year. Like I know why Langford

682
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 2: is the next great thing, but I mean, Jackson Holliday

683
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: is going to be.

684
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 4: A better player than time. But I don't.

685
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: Welsh this is the time right because he gets sent down,

686
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: maybe that number, you know, starts to flex a little bit.

687
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: You might get a better number if you wait for

688
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks.

689
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but the Orioles that what they've already proven

690
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: is they're going to be stubborn with this, like, well,

691
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: you're really going to.

692
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: Learn to see some left handed hitters and he's gonna

693
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: learn to play a second phase. I don't think sue either.

694
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 3: But if you take a month off of his stat line,

695
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: I would have bet Jackson Holiday full force had he

696
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 3: made the roster. But if you take a full month

697
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: of stats out and Langford just performs at eighty five

698
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 3: percent of perception, I think it's going to be really

699
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: really hard, especially if the Rangers are winning a bunch

700
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: of games. I don't hate this one. I just think

701
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 3: it's a it's a race that's going to be difficult

702
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 3: for Holiday to catch up a race.

703
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: It's a finish, you know. I mean, how bad was

704
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson last year for the first three months of

705
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: that season.

706
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, but Josh Young Rake and there was no understand Josh.

707
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: But Josh Young got hurt and also didn't come back

708
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: and play well. So you put all those two things together.

709
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: But also it's usually the rookie the year is the

710
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: guy that lasts at the very end, that gets hot

711
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: at the end, is in your memory. So if Eminague

712
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: is making important starts for the Cubs, I feel like

713
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: that's something paid and should do. And if Holiday is

714
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: coming up here and as advertised for the Orioles here

715
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: in the second half or even before that, he could challenge. Look,

716
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: I think there's another one where the hedge is there,

717
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: like your Wheeler hedge. I think the Langford Holiday hedge

718
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. All right, let's get to

719
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: what you're here for our picks for al n Alen

720
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: World Series, and we'll get Craig Mish on his way

721
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: to break more news because that's all he does. Of

722
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: course on X follow him at Craig Mish. So I've

723
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: got the Seattle Mariners winning the American League plus nine hundred.

724
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: I love the pitching staff. I love the depth. I

725
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: think they're one bad a way. I don't know if

726
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: that bad as a Layamenez or Pete Alonso or somebody

727
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: like that, but to me, you drop one more bat

728
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: in that lineup and all of a sudden, Seattle becomes

729
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: really good. And I think it's those teams with the

730
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 1: depth of pitching. Welsh is going back to the Texas

731
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: Rangers to go back and do it again in the

732
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: National League. I've got the Phillies at plus eight hundred,

733
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: maybe for once they don't get off to a wretched

734
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: start just one time in the last three years. Please,

735
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: can you just be decent for April and May? Plus

736
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: eight hundred a really good number. You are back Welsh

737
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: on the Atlanta Braves at plus two forty Hohm, Atlanta Braves.

738
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: That's no fun, but again it makes a lot of sense.

739
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: The Seri Sale is good now, especially if Sale is

740
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: going to pitch the way he has in spring. I've

741
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: got Seattle winning it all at twenty to one, and

742
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves on Welsh's side of plus four fifty.

743
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: So Welsh, those are your takes there again? To me,

744
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: it's about the Seattle pitching staff, and I'm kind of

745
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: where you are. I think that one two punch of

746
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: Nolan Wheelers enough. I think the Phillies know their windows now.

747
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: They will make any move they need to. What do

748
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,719
Speaker 1: you think here about Atlanta and Texas? A little chalky

749
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: but still hard to argue with the talent there.

750
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think there's just a balance of like, Okay,

751
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: do I want to be cute and fun and get

752
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 3: my you know, put lots of futures in and go deep.

753
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 3: Like I'm not trying to say, like your Mariner what

754
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 3: I love the Mariner one. I think that's great. But like,

755
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: I think the Atlanta Braves have the best offense in

756
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: baseball and they're willing to make some moves. The Texas

757
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: Rangers not only did they just get there, they added

758
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: two great pieces into their offense. And what's something they'd

759
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: love to do. Their favorite thing is acquiring pieces at

760
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 3: the trade deadline. So that's another team that's gonna be

761
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: willing to make those moves. And they're gonna get to

762
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: Grom and they're gonna get Sureser. Sures is gonna be

763
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 3: back before to Grom. You're getting both those guys on

764
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 3: the back half of the year. Yeah, I think it

765
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 3: could go wrong. Yeah, well, I mean there's a million

766
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: things that could easily.

767
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: But this was a great show until we said they're

768
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 2: gonna get to Grom back.

769
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 4: Well, they're gonna get Scherzier back. I said this the

770
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 4: other day. I was that Rangers camp.

771
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: They will get shure.

772
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: De Gram was throwing to a guy in the middle

773
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 3: of the field like twenty feet and Suzier was just

774
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 3: launched on the whole field. De Grom was not comfortable

775
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 3: still throwing. So maybe they don't get to Grom back,

776
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 3: but they're gonna get Suers. You're back, and guess what

777
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 3: they'll go and talk in the trade market. I'm gonna

778
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: go to the Texas Rangers and uh yeah, I feel ash.

779
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: What do you think about these picks here? The teams

780
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: that we've put in the mix, the Rangers, the Braves,

781
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: Philly and Seattle. It's it's the Seattle. Want to keep

782
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: harping on because again, if I think we both think

783
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: that the Sally Young's coming from there, we both said, Julio,

784
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: if this is a team that you know approaches you know,

785
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: ninety five ninety eight wins has control where they are.

786
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: You know it's going to be an exciting place. You

787
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: know the fan base is going to be excited. It

788
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: feels like, but again, they're just one bad way, don't

789
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: you feel like you look at his lineup, you plug

790
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: one big hitter in there, and all of a sudden

791
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: they just roll. Yeah.

792
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: Look, I like all of your selections. I mean, I

793
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 2: can't poke holes at any of them. I really do

794
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: think Seattle is a surprise team. They asked me that

795
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: this morning on Sports Grid. I said that was one

796
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: of the surprise teams I had gett into the postseason

797
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: this year. I wouldn't pick them to win the World Series,

798
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: but I think they're equipped to do it. I just

799
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 2: don't think you can look at any team as it's

800
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: constructed from a pitching perspective right now and just make

801
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 2: that assumption that those are going to be the guys

802
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 2: at the end of the year. So I just can't

803
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: do that. I can't go there. But to start the season,

804
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 2: I think it's reasonable Texas to me, I probably wouldn't

805
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: take them to win the World Series, only because I'm

806
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: a little disappointed. I know, Langford is there, But how

807
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: do you win the World Series and really not like

808
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: get more guys. I guess I'm just was surprised that

809
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: Texas was just so quiet, which I don't know if

810
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: that's a signal to think, oh, maybe got a little

811
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 2: lucky last year, or they're just good enough to win again.

812
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, the Braves again will be my pick to

813
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: win the National League. I do think that anybody that

814
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: has to go through that park in Philadelphia and try

815
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 2: and win, my gosh, I was thereast year for the playoffs.

816
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: It is a.

817
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: Formidable place, so Phillies would be close for me. But

818
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: I will take the Braves yet again because I think

819
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: they've learned their lesson the last couple of years being

820
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: sort of quiet at the end of the year, not

821
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: doing much. I think it cost them. I think you

822
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 2: see Alexanthopolis flip the script this year. I think the

823
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: Braves get very aggressive and get even more players and

824
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: assets pitching and everything else. And in the American League,

825
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Orioles. I'm going to take

826
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: the Orioles. I think Burns, you know, counting on one

827
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 2: guy's a little dangerous, but historically speaking, he's pretty consistent

828
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 2: with making his twenty five thirty starts. Grayson Rodriguez, I

829
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 2: think could take the next step and a team that

830
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 2: their window. You talk about a window being now. Is

831
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 2: there any other team in baseball where their team is

832
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: not just now, it's like really now, Like this is

833
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: it for the Orioles. So I got Orioles braves.

834
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: And there you go. There you go. Phillia definitely a

835
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: tough place to play, tough in any sport at any time.

836
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of my youth there, went to

837
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: college there, lived there for a couple of years after.

838
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to WrestleMania there a couple weeks, two nights

839
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: in a row. Let me tell you no better wrestling
