Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you by Bet three sixty five,
Speaker 1: Bet five bucks, get one hundred and fifty and bonus bets.
Speaker 1: When you do. It's me Joey p That of course
Speaker 1: is the Welsh, and it's you, the Peanuts and the
Speaker 1: Cracker Jacks. And we are a baseball show first and
Speaker 1: foremost right Fantasy Baseball. A little bit of betting, little bit,
Speaker 1: this little bit of that, but at the heart of
Speaker 1: all of us here at Fantasy Bros. MLB, we just
Speaker 1: love baseball. And unfortunately baseball lost an absolute legend last
Speaker 1: night at ninety three years old, arguably, or my mind,
Speaker 1: probably the greatest all around baseball player to ever play.
Speaker 1: Willie Mays unfortunately left this world. But what an incredible
Speaker 1: legacy he left behind. Almost three thousand games played in
Speaker 1: twenty three seasons, a guy that played a lot of
Speaker 1: games at Candlestick Park and still hit over six hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty zo runs. A guy that maybe could have
Speaker 1: hit even more depending on what other ballpark he might
Speaker 1: have played at. He had speed, he had grace, He
Speaker 1: was important culturally as much as he was on the field.
Speaker 1: He was that important off the field and Welsh. I
Speaker 1: think we all knew that Willy Mays was, you know,
Speaker 1: getting very up there in age. We'd see him on
Speaker 1: occasion the last five six years, go out there for
Speaker 1: a moment before a game or a special event, and
Speaker 1: you know, Willie May's an icon in Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: and icon in San Francisco baseball and New York baseball too.
Speaker 1: The catch, the moments there, you know, on deck for
Speaker 1: the Bobby Thompson home run. He was just a part
Speaker 1: of this game and all those incredible moments through the
Speaker 1: fifties and sixties and even into the early seventies. A
Speaker 1: huge loss for Major League Baseball, a huge loss for
Speaker 1: the baseball community at large. But what a life, what
Speaker 1: a career when you look back at everything that man accomplished.
Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself, like, because I tweeted icon,
Speaker 2: just icon, He's iconic.
Speaker 3: But the catch like top five?
Speaker 2: Like if you're thinking of all the moments that we've
Speaker 2: had in baseball, like what are the what are the
Speaker 2: imprinted baseball images or you know, short clips, is there
Speaker 2: anything bigger than the catch that comes to your mind?
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's absolutely top five. If not top three,
Speaker 1: And it's great when you have those iconic moments happen
Speaker 1: with iconic players. And I think that's the thing like
Speaker 1: you don't always get like like the Bobby Thompson home run. Ironically, right,
Speaker 1: Abbi Thompson was an iconic player. He had an iconic moment,
Speaker 1: and I think that's something that you go, oh wow,
Speaker 1: that's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2: Like like the images that are imprinted, Like I have
Speaker 2: that image of you know, Hank Aaron and the two
Speaker 2: fans coming out and kind of as he's circling second
Speaker 2: base over to third, like that is imprinted.
Speaker 3: The catch is probably the tippy top Kirk Gibson.
Speaker 2: That's not like a great one, but like those are
Speaker 2: some of the memories that are in print. But I
Speaker 2: don't know, I think it is like I think it
Speaker 2: is the iconic, Like that is the image I think
Speaker 2: of outside of like Ken Griffy junior swing, Like that
Speaker 2: is the image if you were to say, give me
Speaker 2: one baseball play that exemplifies baseball in its history, it's
Speaker 2: like that that catch. It's it really is incredible.
Speaker 3: So it's it's sad.
Speaker 2: It's sad to we we lose, you know, like our
Speaker 2: history our history.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's incredible.
Speaker 2: Baseball is incredible because that man will live on forever,
Speaker 2: like he is going to live on forever. But losing
Speaker 2: the the the important pieces you know, of our baseball life,
Speaker 2: it's definitely sad.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, but again you you rejoice an incredible career,
Speaker 1: incredible life too. I saw a thing too. You know,
Speaker 1: you're seeing all these you know, amazing stats and facts
Speaker 1: about Willie Mays, which is really cool. You see the
Speaker 1: ones about oh he you know, he won twelve goal gloves,
Speaker 1: more than anybody else, but they didn't invent the gold
Speaker 1: glove until it was in the league six years, so
Speaker 1: he probably one one in another like four or five. Possibly. Also,
Speaker 1: I saw somebody on MLB Network bring up an amazing
Speaker 1: point two, which is, you know, you can argue that
Speaker 1: Josh Gibson was the best player in the negro leagues.
Speaker 1: You can argue that Baby Ruth was the best player
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball before integration, but once baseball was integrated,
Speaker 1: it's hard to argue. When the playing field was everyone together,
Speaker 1: it's hard to argue there's ever been a more complete
Speaker 1: player than Willie Mays. I think he is in terms
Speaker 1: of speed, power, in terms of defense, all those things.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was the complete five. He is the
Speaker 1: prototypical complete five to a player. And again, sad news
Speaker 1: today to start us off in baseball. But that's okay, everybody,
Speaker 1: boys and girls, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Well, I just wanted to say this one thing real quick.
Speaker 3: It makes me think of it.
Speaker 2: It's it's Willie May's adjacent but Willie May's I believe.
Speaker 2: I mean, the story is relative to this. That he
Speaker 2: lived out here in Arizona, in Scottsdale, in a neighborhood
Speaker 2: that a friend of mine and Bogman's used to used
Speaker 2: to live in in North Scottsdale. And when I don't
Speaker 2: know if we've told the story before, but when Bogman
Speaker 2: was a kid, we had, like I said, a couple
Speaker 2: friends in this neighborhood. He goes into this neighborhood and
Speaker 2: Barry Bonds was at Willy Mays's house but outside, and Bogman, little,
Speaker 2: a little baby Bogman, little tiny Bogman went to go
Speaker 2: out and try to get not Willy Mays's attention, but
Speaker 2: but Barry Bonds' attention, and Barry Bonds yelled at Bogman
Speaker 2: and told him.
Speaker 1: To go away. Yeah, that sounds about right sad opening
Speaker 1: to the show today, but we want to pay tribute
Speaker 1: to the greatest, to be honest, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: So we want to make sure we gave some weight
Speaker 1: and some time to that today. But again we want
Speaker 1: to leave you with some fun too, So on the
Speaker 1: show later today, we have a little bit of fun
Speaker 1: for you. Our producers put something together, very amusing, so
Speaker 1: stick with us to the end of the show. We're
Speaker 1: going to show it and debut it a special new
Speaker 1: intro for the show we're going to be using hopefully
Speaker 1: going forward. But look, we're here to talk about baseball too,
Speaker 1: so let's get in there and talk about some baseball.
Speaker 1: Talk about headlines. Go into the al with a caf strain.
Speaker 1: That's the biggest one. We just said this yesterday and
Speaker 1: we said, well, when Bobaschek gets ready, that'll be the
Speaker 1: end of the season for the Blue Jays. Aurelvis Martinez
Speaker 1: is the guy taking his place Welsh. There you go.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like the perfect storm of things
Speaker 1: that we've been talking about in the last week. So
Speaker 1: I'll let you take it from here. What does this
Speaker 1: mean for the Blue Jays and how the fantasy managers
Speaker 1: recoup from this one.
Speaker 3: I mean, what does it mean? That's a great question.
Speaker 3: I don't know what. I think. Toronto is one foot in, one.
Speaker 2: Foot out, as we said yesterday, and it's going to
Speaker 2: continue for a couple of weeks. The relevant part of
Speaker 2: it is Irrelvis Martinez is finally up. I'm just not
Speaker 2: as big on Erelvis Martinez as a lot of other people.
Speaker 2: He's shown exactly who he's always been. He had this huge,
Speaker 2: big up which you know, hat tipped to him in
Speaker 2: the crazy start to the year. He had like that
Speaker 2: April where I think it like one only one game
Speaker 2: where he didn't have a hit.
Speaker 3: He was awesome.
Speaker 2: Then he tapered down and he went into a big
Speaker 2: tailspin with.
Speaker 3: That batting Appridge dipped.
Speaker 2: I think around two point thirty he's restabilized again. He's
Speaker 2: cut his strikeouts down from years past, but there still
Speaker 2: is a swing and miss element to his game. He
Speaker 2: obviously has got some really big power. He does not
Speaker 2: have the contact ability of Bobachetz. This is a very
Speaker 2: different player that you're going to see, but a very
Speaker 2: fantasy relevant player if he clicks. I just don't know
Speaker 2: if he's going to click right out the gates. But
Speaker 2: this is one of those guys that you go and
Speaker 2: pick up. You just all the analysis and dah da
Speaker 2: da da, you just go and pick them up, as
Speaker 2: long as you're not sacrificing something that is really really important,
Speaker 2: because I think maybe the most glaring thing with rookies
Speaker 2: in general this year, they've just kind of all.
Speaker 3: Been failures, you know.
Speaker 2: I think there's very few that have actually really worked.
Speaker 2: So I would hold on to see if this does stick,
Speaker 2: because they could maybe put him in another part of
Speaker 2: the lineup, but this is a powerchase. I'm not holding
Speaker 2: my breath on Erolvis Martinez long term.
Speaker 1: Pick him up a tough couple of weeks here for
Speaker 1: the infielders, or a week I should say, Bobashet, Mookie
Speaker 1: bets He hikes h Walker Buehler. Also more Dodger news. Uh,
Speaker 1: considering they're putting him on the I l possibly because
Speaker 1: of yesterday's performance against the Rockies.
Speaker 2: They was the term have you heard this before? They
Speaker 2: said they were gonna give him a blow.
Speaker 1: And all the time, Yeah, oh no, that's a that's
Speaker 1: an old one. Willie Randolph was famous all the time.
Speaker 1: He would say all the time. And this was kind
Speaker 1: of before you know, social media has you know, really
Speaker 1: took over things. I can only imagine. But he was
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, we're gonna give Jimmy a blow today
Speaker 1: and this guy blow tomorrow and blah blah blah, and
Speaker 1: how about a rest? Uh No, I mean you can
Speaker 1: have the rest.
Speaker 3: Want to have a sit, Let's have a sit, not
Speaker 3: a blow.
Speaker 1: But that's and that's what I'm saying. I mean he
Speaker 1: had eight starts since he's come back from Tommy John
Speaker 1: A five eight four e R right he or whatever
Speaker 1: you need or whatever he needs, get him whatever he needs,
Speaker 1: because that guy needs something. I was in Buldurham. I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, I got a blow. I think
Speaker 1: it might have been uh no, but that is a
Speaker 1: common baseball is Oh yeah, I just if you've never
Speaker 1: heard that, that's not like I like vaguely have seen.
Speaker 2: But I don't think in recent history of someone in
Speaker 2: like news articles be.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, they're talking about Kivid Walker.
Speaker 1: Buell or a blow.
Speaker 3: And I was like, were we could just say rest?
Speaker 2: We have enough words that we can say he's gonna
Speaker 2: rest or sit for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Also crazy might be the guy getting
Speaker 1: called up. I think the biggest beneficiary. Like, if you
Speaker 1: will look at who is winning right now for the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: I think it's Gavin Stone. Walker bull is going to
Speaker 1: the il, Bobby Miller's getting hit all over the ballpark,
Speaker 1: Kershaw still a month away, and you have a motives
Speaker 1: on the I l like Gavin Stone right now looks
Speaker 1: like a major buy for me, Like I'd be trying
Speaker 1: to get this guy everywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean maybe it's not anywhere, but you do
Speaker 2: have to give like some consideration to what his like
Speaker 2: this team, the rotation and they put out, and how
Speaker 2: many innings are really comfortable going it's been. He's had
Speaker 2: a really great year, but he's got an almost full
Speaker 2: ERA differential from his expected. He has a three point
Speaker 2: zero one ERA, but it's a three point.
Speaker 3: Nine to eight expected.
Speaker 2: His k's have been really low, his walks have been
Speaker 2: better on his career, but still not great. And I
Speaker 2: don't know, like he weirds me out this right here.
Speaker 2: This is such a weird thing. You see guys that
Speaker 2: throw fastballs as their primary pitch, and that pitch will
Speaker 2: have like a fifteen, sixteen, eighteen percent with rate, and
Speaker 2: then the secondaries will go in and have this big
Speaker 2: with rate. Well, he throws his best pitches, his change up.
Speaker 2: He throws that pitch more than any other, but it
Speaker 2: has a It still has a thirty four percent with rate,
Speaker 2: but then he's got sinker and fastball with even lower
Speaker 2: with rates. So I don't know, like, you would love
Speaker 2: to see a little bit more of a mix, so
Speaker 2: his change up could be more effective, so you can
Speaker 2: get that into like the forty five percent with range,
Speaker 2: and then I think you could see those k's. But
Speaker 2: he's a you know, under twenty percent k guy. He's
Speaker 2: great right now. If he's sitting out there, I don't
Speaker 2: know if I'm trading for him, because, like so many
Speaker 2: of these young pitchers, what does he have going for
Speaker 2: the rest of the year. If they decide to start
Speaker 2: tapering down the ending outside of every fricking Dodger's pitcher
Speaker 2: getting hurt, they will get Kershaw back at some point.
Speaker 2: They probably make a move here in the near future.
Speaker 2: I'm down with Gavin Stone, but there's there's a few warts.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying Gavin Stone for the next two months
Speaker 1: is a good investment. Yes, that I agree with that,
Speaker 1: I think, I think you're looking at June nineteenth to
Speaker 1: maybe even early August, like mid August. Like, I think
Speaker 1: you're in a good spot here with him, at least
Speaker 1: through the month of July. I think he ain't going
Speaker 1: no place. Nick Lodolo. I saw Razor in the chat
Speaker 1: was saying that Nick Lodolo here to put a cy
Speaker 1: Young wager on him.
Speaker 3: I'll give me.
Speaker 1: I mean, not gonna happen, But he's a Reds guy,
Speaker 1: you know. Let him have his time, Let him have
Speaker 1: his fun. Struck out eight guys, no walks, eighteen whiffs,
Speaker 1: fifty swings, and missus thirty six percent with rate. Look,
Speaker 1: he's been right. We talked about last week. I asked
Speaker 1: the question, did Nick Lodolo become an ace right under
Speaker 1: our nose and we didn't realize it? Two seven six era.
Speaker 1: It's great, Like this is the way the Reds stay
Speaker 1: in this thing. And they get Marte back in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Very exciting, also exciting. Max Scherzer is
Speaker 1: gonna make his season debut on Saturday against the Royals
Speaker 1: Hazah and Justin Verlander goes on the fifteen day IL
Speaker 1: retroactive with the neck discomfort. Still got a crick in
Speaker 1: the neck, still not working out from Justin Verlander. So
Speaker 1: we'll see old people. This is what happens to us.
Speaker 1: We get neck problem. Back is a blow. I need
Speaker 1: a backy out of me. Yeah, he's gotta get a blow.
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz scoreless ninth or him he's back, baby Andres
Speaker 1: Munos pitched one and two third scoreless innings. Now, interesting
Speaker 1: thing about Munyos is it's like, you know, his era
Speaker 1: is at one four seven, he's got thirteen saves. But
Speaker 1: it's funny sometimes you see him. He'll come in and
Speaker 1: pitch when it matters most like, you know, like to
Speaker 1: win the game because they don't care about our fantasy teams.
Speaker 1: And it's something that I've noticed they've done with him
Speaker 1: on a few occasions where it kind of takes him
Speaker 1: out of the saves. Does that like bother you or
Speaker 1: you just kind of say you just got to take
Speaker 1: the lumps. I know it bothers you internally as a
Speaker 1: fantasy person, Yeah, but I mean it can't really shake
Speaker 1: you off, Munios. Right like when that occasionally happens, like
Speaker 1: you gotta take no good with the bad.
Speaker 2: There, it's not gonna take you off now. But if
Speaker 2: this team does take the trade deadline and go to
Speaker 2: bolster up that bullpen, it could be something in the
Speaker 2: crunch where this team has shown you like they're not
Speaker 2: committed to him being the every every day This is
Speaker 2: why a lot of us like Matt Brash, you know,
Speaker 2: and then he gets hurt. But this is why he
Speaker 2: would have been one of those guys that would have
Speaker 2: gotten those.
Speaker 1: Saves friends on MySpace or something like you.
Speaker 3: He's a super nice guy.
Speaker 2: He's just a super nice well, he is one of
Speaker 2: the nastiest pitches in baseball. I think it was Austin Riley,
Speaker 2: who I think the one that said that his sweeper
Speaker 2: was the grossest pitch in all of baseball. But that
Speaker 2: doesn't matter now whatever, Tommy John, he's out. But if
Speaker 2: they were to go and acquire, you know, any of
Speaker 2: those pseudo closery type of guys, if they were to
Speaker 2: go get Tanner Scott, that might be a little bit
Speaker 2: of a warning sign for the end of the year.
Speaker 3: So I don't know.
Speaker 2: It doesn't sway me, but it does keep my attention going.
Speaker 2: Trade wins are starting to go too. I don't even
Speaker 2: saw a report we always know the Mariners and they're
Speaker 2: going to be involved in those But you also had
Speaker 2: the Padres and Preller them saying that they are the
Speaker 2: most active team right now. So you are going to
Speaker 2: see these teams starting to fight for those pieces, and
Speaker 2: a lot of those pieces are going to be bullpen sides.
Speaker 2: You know, Tanner Scott's going to get traded, that's been confirmed.
Speaker 2: A couple closers are going to lose those jobs, and
Speaker 2: we just don't know what the market's going to look like.
Speaker 2: But I think the Mariners clearly are a team that
Speaker 2: would go out and try to get some bullpen help when.
Speaker 1: They give me a lot of the Mariners. Corbyn Carroll
Speaker 1: two for three with the triple, so he's healthy. A
Speaker 1: and Slay CHACONI really stuck the ship in my back
Speaker 1: yesterday six scoreless things. How dare you, Slay CHACONI? How
Speaker 1: dare you you have?
Speaker 3: You're such a negative Nancy on slate every time he comes.
Speaker 1: Up negative positive. I'm just on the under because it's
Speaker 1: worked and it's made me money, and yesterday it didn't.
Speaker 1: So I'm a little sad. I'm allowed to be a
Speaker 1: little sad. I'm sad, all right. Maybe I need to
Speaker 1: blow it. Uh, cheer me up. You know, Blue Jays
Speaker 1: released Daniel Logelbach, So there you go, rookie lucky time.
Speaker 1: Saddan said it in Rafaela three to four double RBI,
Speaker 1: good day for him. He sixteen over twenty six over
Speaker 1: his last seven games, so really heating up in June.
Speaker 1: Rafaela was a player you were very much on and
Speaker 1: it looks like, you know, again the strikeouts still there,
Speaker 1: but it looks like a player that's going in the
Speaker 1: right direction. Ben Rice did play yesterday for the Yankees,
Speaker 1: one for four with a single. There you go. And
Speaker 1: Jason Domingez apparently has what an oblique strain. Well stop
Speaker 1: me if you heard it before. So there you have it.
Speaker 2: Yee, I am so done with oblique strains. That's gonna
Speaker 2: be I'll tell you that's gonna be the thing that's
Speaker 2: gonna be this offseason is all the baseball is gonna
Speaker 2: rally around. What are the things everyone's like, stop throwing
Speaker 2: so hard, stop throwing one hundred for Tommy John's what's
Speaker 2: gonna be the thing that's gonna start helping obliques. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be some type of workout. It's going to be
Speaker 2: some alteration that a place.
Speaker 3: Like drive Line is going to do.
Speaker 2: There's going to be some type of tackling because this
Speaker 2: this is the new thing. Bat speeds up, obliques are up,
Speaker 2: rib injuries are more common. That's like every other injury
Speaker 2: is something right around the waist. It's something right in
Speaker 2: that area where you know the torque and that bat
Speaker 2: speed is affecting, and it's pretty brutal, and some of
Speaker 2: these things can be really long standing. So this is
Speaker 2: why when someone had tweeted me about the Hey, who
Speaker 2: would you rather have rest of season? Noelvie or Jason?
Speaker 2: At this point, it is Noelvie because I don't know
Speaker 2: what this recovery is going to look like. The Yankees
Speaker 2: are not aggressive in bringing Domingos up. I think in
Speaker 2: September Domingos can be up and doing stuff. But Nowelvie
Speaker 2: is going to be back. I think in like a
Speaker 2: week and a half.
Speaker 1: Isn't it like twenty six I think or something like that,
Speaker 1: twenty seven somewhere around there. Oh, here's a quick question
Speaker 1: here from that guy, does bets have any trade value
Speaker 1: coming out saying six to eight weeks? Can you trade him?
Speaker 1: Would you trade him? That's interesting somebody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and not in like Rodo or.
Speaker 1: It's got to be top of the standing steamer. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a team that's coasting and goes yeah, I
Speaker 1: want to get greedy and has a buttload of depth
Speaker 1: to be able to do that.
Speaker 2: But it's got il spots. Yeah, it's like a playoff
Speaker 2: run there. They're making that. Yeah, in a league where
Speaker 2: someone can get them on the iel. There there is
Speaker 2: the like, this is the playoff run guy. You're gonna
Speaker 2: get him for your fantasy playoffs. So there is some
Speaker 2: inherent trade value. But I don't know, Like if I
Speaker 2: had Mookie Bets, I'm not gonna go. I mean, here's
Speaker 2: a question, Saddanna Rafaela, like, would you rather have Rafaela
Speaker 2: right now? Who has been i mean top twenty five
Speaker 2: ish player over the last couple of weeks. He doesn't
Speaker 2: have a great hitting profile though, I'll tell you that why.
Speaker 1: I would say, that's funny enough. But if it was
Speaker 1: a packageame on something else. Maybe if I was a
Speaker 1: team that was finding for my life and I knew,
Speaker 1: like way without Bets the next two months, I'm toast,
Speaker 1: then I might give it a shot. But other than
Speaker 1: that I think I would probably, I mean, it would
Speaker 1: need more of a package than that to get that done.
Speaker 1: As I said, please stay at the end of the
Speaker 1: show today we got a special fun thing for you.
Speaker 1: We want to leave you smiling today. We also want
Speaker 1: to leave you with some guys to pick up off
Speaker 1: the waiver wires. So without further ado, let's hit the
Speaker 1: waiver wire for week thirteen. Let's put some guys on
Speaker 1: your roster, Welsh, I want to start with Tyler Soderstrom,
Speaker 1: first base slash catcher for the Oakland A's roster. In
Speaker 1: forty seven percent of leagues, he's hit safely in ten
Speaker 1: of his last eleven. He's at three forty two. Over
Speaker 1: that spam he is, you know, the slash right now
Speaker 1: is still kind of you know, travel behind a little
Speaker 1: oly hitting two fifty on the year, but the slugging
Speaker 1: is up to four sixty four the on bases at
Speaker 1: three fifty seven. It seems like he's starting to carve
Speaker 1: out a little bit more of an everyday ish role here.
Speaker 1: And you know, when it comes to the A's, they've
Speaker 1: got a lot of space. He's only rostered in about
Speaker 1: fifty percent of leagues, and if he does have catcher
Speaker 1: eligibility in that league that you're playing in. I think
Speaker 1: this is a player that you should consider picking up
Speaker 1: in those deeper formats, especially while he's on the hot streak.
Speaker 1: Bladays played pretty well to with the A's, they've got
Speaker 1: a little bit more offense. I think that people realize.
Speaker 1: So Sodastrum's the guy that I think people should add.
Speaker 2: What do you think I'm I'm fine with it, maybe
Speaker 2: in deeper leagues. It's funny that you brought up because,
Speaker 2: like I would prioritize Bleday first.
Speaker 1: I really agree, but he's already rostered in like eighties,
Speaker 1: so I don't think that's really more realistic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is a solid powerchase guy. I
Speaker 2: think what you pinpointed the advantage if he is catcher
Speaker 2: eligible in some spots, that's a good place to be in.
Speaker 2: And I think he's at the point where he's probably
Speaker 2: going to stick around for the majority of the season.
Speaker 2: It is weird though they have a type. It's like
Speaker 2: soda Strom to Bledat to Brent Rooker, like they're all
Speaker 2: that same type of player, but high barrel percentage, good
Speaker 2: hard hit number. Soda Strum is definitely starting to come through.
Speaker 2: So I think it is a pretty decent time, especially
Speaker 2: if you're looking, you know, for some of that bench help.
Speaker 2: I'd be picking up Sodastrom.
Speaker 1: Another guy to pick up. Look just to see thirty
Speaker 1: three percent rostered. DJ Hurds also known as David John.
Speaker 1: By the way, I did not realize that the DJ
Speaker 1: was David John. Could be a lot things. Hers has
Speaker 1: a minor league a strikeout rate of twelve point nine
Speaker 1: k per nine, so he's got strikeout potential. He's got
Speaker 1: three seven seventy one point one nine whip and twenty
Speaker 1: one k's and fourteen innings so far for the Nats.
Speaker 1: You know, somebody asked me, is this a fluke? And
Speaker 1: I said it might be. But he also gets the
Speaker 1: Rockies next, So I kind of look at that, and
Speaker 1: I go, hey, you know, why not let's continue to
Speaker 1: look ahead here for DJ. And it feels like if
Speaker 1: you're hurting for pitching right now, like you know, you
Speaker 1: got Walker Bueller going to the IL, you didn't expect
Speaker 1: that you got some other pitchers, you know, waiting on
Speaker 1: ures or hopefully this weekend. Maybe Hers is another guy
Speaker 1: you could pick up. Another guy too, Ben Rice, we've
Speaker 1: talked about so again, different eligibility factors in different leagues.
Speaker 1: We talked about him yesterday on Fantasy pros MLB on
Speaker 1: Leading Off. I saw Rice play in person at Double
Speaker 1: A this year. I was very impressed with him. He
Speaker 1: slashed two seventy five, three ninety three, five point thirty
Speaker 1: two with fifteen homers nine steals currently and look he
Speaker 1: walks too. So this is a guy that can help you.
Speaker 1: And those numbers have seen double A and A Rizzo
Speaker 1: has been terrible. Rizzo's on the IL. I think you
Speaker 1: see what Ben Rice can do. Either Rice is part
Speaker 1: of a package that they move at some point, or
Speaker 1: maybe Rice is part of the solution to what ails
Speaker 1: him at first base. Either way, it was encouraging. He
Speaker 1: played last night. Let's see how the playing time goes.
Speaker 1: But he's rostering in just seventeen percent of leagues. A
Speaker 1: few other names to Chad Green because Imi Garcia is
Speaker 1: now obviously on the IL, so Green is up next
Speaker 1: for save, so you might as well add him. He's
Speaker 1: only rostered in twelve percent of leagues. Noueve Marte still
Speaker 1: just rostered in sixty percent of leagues. Welsh, what are
Speaker 1: people waiting for? Ah, this is driving me crazy. It's
Speaker 1: like going up like inch by inch and Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 1: too only rostered in sixty four percent of leagues. But
Speaker 1: Marte is going to be back sooner, So Green Marte Kershaw.
Speaker 1: Those are three other guys to add this week on
Speaker 1: the Wave Warre Welsh. Any guys for you that you're
Speaker 1: looking at in the Wave War or two that you're
Speaker 1: like yeah, or maybe one of these guys that I
Speaker 1: mentioned needs to be asap or super aggressive on.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Noelvie should not be out there anymore.
Speaker 2: I think this is the play kers shop. I think
Speaker 2: we're maybe a tiny bit early, but the ownership is there.
Speaker 2: I think he's a great pickup, especially for a Dodger
Speaker 2: team that needs to pick it up. And I will
Speaker 2: say with DJ Hurs, I don't personally believe. I like
Speaker 2: when someone asks is it kind of a fluke.
Speaker 1: I said it was as small as sempleasize. That's what
Speaker 1: I say.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I like him as a streamer. To your point,
Speaker 2: I like him going up against a Colorado team. I
Speaker 2: don't think it holds. He's a forty percent wif rate
Speaker 2: on his fastball, which is not a sustainable number, So
Speaker 2: those strikeouts are gonna come down. The effectiveness on the
Speaker 2: fastball comes down if the secondaries keep going. I think
Speaker 2: he's a solid streamer at this point. And that's what
Speaker 2: a lot of these pickups and sps are is finding
Speaker 2: good matchups. So the Colorado matchup is a good one.
Speaker 2: You pick some good names.
Speaker 1: Here there you go, make sure you go and add
Speaker 1: those names, and of course go to Fantasybros dot com
Speaker 1: to see all of the Waiver Wire articles over there
Speaker 1: as well. For you. That is Week thirteen Waiver Wire
Speaker 1: with Joey p and the Welsh. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: the three up and three down real quick. Mark Vento's
Speaker 1: three for five with a dinger, Nick Cassianas four for
Speaker 1: five with a game winning double, and Zach Geloff three
Speaker 1: run home er, two for four, starting heat up a
Speaker 1: little bit. Well, I'll stole the base two, get him
Speaker 1: out of that nine hole. Come on, a's, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Let's go all the a's today. Soderstrom he got.
Speaker 2: Too many good they got too many good hitters. Joe Tyler,
Speaker 2: Soderstroum and JJ Blede.
Speaker 1: What do you do with the gal? What do you
Speaker 1: even do? Three downs? Sevenino for the Mets, Nobuno six
Speaker 1: runs six and the third to the Rangers. Yesterday, Griffin Canning,
Speaker 1: he lost six runs, five earned five innings. Lance Lynn
Speaker 1: gave up six runs, five of them earned on ten hits. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know what. And I made money on that too,
Speaker 1: because I went hard on that game against Lanceln.
Speaker 2: So that was a He was five innings, eighty nine
Speaker 2: pitches with four strikeouts, and I went, oh, here we go.
Speaker 3: Because if you remember.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, I had the strikeout Parlay Liddolo needed six nailed
Speaker 2: it needed five from Lynn. He comes back out for
Speaker 2: the fifth or the sixth, eighty nine pitches in immediately
Speaker 2: strikes out.
Speaker 3: The dude gets.
Speaker 2: It and then a homer Christian betten Court. He stinks,
Speaker 2: but boy does he stink in just the right way
Speaker 2: where we were able to cash.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Lancelicke.
Speaker 1: Look, Grima is still alive. Right now, it's seven and zero.
Speaker 1: We've got to change the thing. So because the Mets
Speaker 1: had a comeback, Wait, can't can't be defeated. By the way,
Speaker 1: did you ever look at the tweet that I sent
Speaker 1: you yesterday? Nod I sent you the Devin saw a
Speaker 1: tweet that I said, I couldn't say here to talk
Speaker 1: about on the air.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I miss, I totally miss that.
Speaker 1: I gotta send a tea again, all right. Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: told everybody that the X rays and the cat skin
Speaker 1: on his hand came back negative. So that's good. After guessterday,
Speaker 1: everybody was panicking. You know, guys, they should rightful Lisso.
Speaker 1: But we'll see if he's back in the line today.
Speaker 1: I doubt it. Westburg for the Orioles day to day
Speaker 1: with hips horn as Charlie Blackman came out yesterday with
Speaker 1: the hamstring tightness. Candelario removed from Tuesday's game against the
Speaker 1: Pirates with just tendonitis and some general fatigue, general fatigue.
Speaker 1: Jordan Lawler, your boy with the Diamondbacks, diagnosed with a
Speaker 1: Grade one hamstring strain. So well you won't see him
Speaker 1: for a month. A brave from just always hurt.
Speaker 2: He's unreal, Like he just got back like that dude,
Speaker 2: he got hurt after his I went to his second
Speaker 2: professional game hurt right after, got hurt again and then
Speaker 2: he was out for like the I mean that guy
Speaker 2: is I don't know if it's injury prom or injury.
Speaker 1: The picture of Anthony rendon his locker, right, that's his hero,
Speaker 1: Michael Waka through four squirrels sittings? Did you see them? Welsh?
Speaker 1: That's the most important question.
Speaker 3: Well be said to this yesterday. Yeah, I was there
Speaker 3: at the complex.
Speaker 1: He said you were going, And now I'm asking did you.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, that was yeah, No, I was there
Speaker 2: because he did that on on Monday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, on Monday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I was at that one looked phenomenal. Eloy
Speaker 2: did get to him. He he won the first battle against.
Speaker 3: Eloy, did he?
Speaker 1: How was Eloy running?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: It still the same? Huh.
Speaker 2: I I am genuinely I don't know how to answer
Speaker 2: things because I put out the videos. People are being
Speaker 2: mean to by the way I mean me, me making
Speaker 2: that sound is mean. But I will tell you I don't.
Speaker 2: I can't conceptualize a player who, by the way out
Speaker 2: here has faced a couple of major league pitchers. He's
Speaker 2: hitting over five hundred in complex as you should. You
Speaker 2: know it's this type of league. But you're hitting over
Speaker 2: five hundred. Your bats live, you've had doubles, you've had
Speaker 2: a homer, singles, your bat looks great. He physically cannot run, Like,
Speaker 2: what are they going to do. I have never in
Speaker 2: my life, as long as I've been going to Complex
Speaker 2: and watching goes from to the you know the Dominican
Speaker 2: summer league guys that come up to Major leaguers rehabbing.
Speaker 2: I've seen a gajillion Major leaguers rehab I have never
Speaker 2: seen a player move like Eloy him and As is doing,
Speaker 2: not just in one game but another. He doesn't physically
Speaker 2: look like he can play, but he can hit so weird.
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're going to do when he's
Speaker 2: ever going to leave and how he's going to get right,
Speaker 2: because there is something so clearly wrong. He cannot run.
Speaker 2: He is moving like a seventy year old Like he
Speaker 2: leaves literally. I saw a video of like this one
Speaker 2: hundred year old guy who was in a marathon, like
Speaker 2: he like that.
Speaker 3: I can't do that, right, you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: It I do this.
Speaker 3: It's amazing, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: We're not in marathons. He's twenty six years old.
Speaker 3: He's a twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's twenty seven, I think right. Kobe May is back.
Speaker 1: That's great, so we'll keep an eye on that. He
Speaker 1: returned yesterday to Triple A Alec Manoa did finally have
Speaker 1: his Tommy John on Monday. By the way, Cubs put
Speaker 1: Mike Talkman on the il with a groin strain. Stephen
Speaker 1: Matt's getting a second opinion on his back. That's not good.
Speaker 1: And Mike Trout told everybody he has not resumed running
Speaker 1: and remains without a definitive timeline. So in case you
Speaker 1: thought you were getting Mike Trout back anytime soon, you're
Speaker 1: not not happening. But that's okay, wells, because we have
Speaker 1: more things to entertained. That's like the best bets of
Speaker 1: the day with Joey p and the Welsh. Make sure
Speaker 1: you place your bets at bet three six five, bet
Speaker 1: five bucks, get one hundred and fifty and bonus bets
Speaker 1: when you do with the promo code leading off, and
Speaker 1: of course don't forget eighteen or over. In Kentucky gambling problem,
Speaker 1: go one one hundred gambler or one hundred bets off.
Speaker 1: In Iowa, terms and conditions apply. Keeping it simple. Got
Speaker 1: a lot of day games today, so look into the evening.
Speaker 1: Royal's on the run line minus one and a half
Speaker 1: plus one oh five against Oakland, and of course call
Speaker 1: Reagan's on the mound and I'm gonna go over on
Speaker 1: his strikeouts seven and a half at minus one fifteen.
Speaker 1: You compare them together if you want get almost three
Speaker 1: to one. That's a nice day at the office if
Speaker 1: you can get it. So Reagan's returns, and of course
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Garrett Cole back today, So I assume
Speaker 1: the stadium is gonna be rocking tonight for the Yankees,
Speaker 1: and that means Jan Sodo, not Garrett coleprops. Jan Sodo
Speaker 1: over one and a half total bases at plus one
Speaker 1: forty five is one of my favorite bets on the
Speaker 1: board today. Smash that plus money, I love it. Wan
Speaker 1: Soda plus one forty five, Welsh, what do you have
Speaker 1: here for the people here for Wednesday?
Speaker 2: Well, I see Carlos is back in the chat. And
Speaker 2: guess what Carlos is doing. He's trolling a little Brandon
Speaker 2: Fott saying, Oh, Brandon Fot's gonna.
Speaker 3: Get annihilated today.
Speaker 1: We'll listen near brother.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that, but I am going to
Speaker 2: back Brandon Fott, and I am going to back the
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks today on the run line and minus one and
Speaker 2: a half they're going up against oh, Patrick Corbyn. He
Speaker 2: always an Patrick Corbin. So Arizona Diamondbacks to win by
Speaker 2: over one and a half runs. That's almost even money
Speaker 2: minus one oh five. I love that one. I also
Speaker 2: love your Kansas City bet. I'm with that Kansas City
Speaker 2: run line minus one and a half. Also, I found
Speaker 2: it at minus one oh five. And then I'm gonna
Speaker 2: do another strikeout, probably like I did yesterday. I pared
Speaker 2: down the strikeouts of Lodolo and Lynn. The Lodolo side
Speaker 2: I think would have hit no matter what the normal
Speaker 2: over Lynn would not have, so we paired it down.
Speaker 2: We cash that, we got another one. I really really
Speaker 2: was battling with Garrett Cole because I don't think he's
Speaker 2: gonna go deep deep into this game. But I also
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna pull him at like seventy pitches.
Speaker 2: And this is a pretty I mean Baltimore team. It's
Speaker 2: a decent matchup to get some of those strikeouts in,
Speaker 2: but I just didn't feel comfortable taking the five and
Speaker 2: a half. So I'm taking him at five strikeouts, and
Speaker 2: I'm pairing that with Taj Bradley in his straight over
Speaker 2: five and a half, which is pretty juiced up. That
Speaker 2: gets me plus one thirty, so it's Bradley at six strikeouts,
Speaker 2: Garrett Cole at five strikeouts combo together for plus money.
Speaker 2: That one I really really like and that probably one
Speaker 2: of my favorite plays of the day. Might add one
Speaker 2: or two more. Bettingpros dot Com slash Welsh, Bettingpros dot
