Speaker 1: Leading off starts right now and on the show today,
Speaker 1: joining me, I'm Chris Welsh is Chris Clegg. It's the
Speaker 1: Chris and Chris Show on a Friday edition. Right here
Speaker 1: and leading off brought to you by bet MGM. Mister
Speaker 1: Chris Cleig.
Speaker 2: What is up, buddy?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Not too much.
Speaker 4: Good to be back for the regular Friday show, The
Speaker 4: Chris Squared Show.
Speaker 3: So looking forward to a good one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I know. What's this little Braves
Speaker 1: banner behind you?
Speaker 2: Are you? Uh? You Braves touting in front of us?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, the World World Series flag back there?
Speaker 4: All time favorite brave Uh probably Chipper just growing up
Speaker 4: that was like the thing.
Speaker 3: That's a boring answer, but it's just.
Speaker 2: Kind of boring like you would have You would impressed
Speaker 2: me if you would have went.
Speaker 1: Like Andrew Jones and be like, oh yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: a fun like little side like I think Chip.
Speaker 2: But Chipper is the guy I.
Speaker 4: Get, you know, for a hot Lopez wasn't around long,
Speaker 4: but I really liked him when he was in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: He was fun. Had that season where he hit forty.
Speaker 4: Three bombs in Atlanta, one of the most memorable Catcher seasons.
Speaker 4: I remember, and that was younger, so but Schipper was
Speaker 4: just the guy growing up.
Speaker 1: So my brain did when you went Hovey Lopez, I
Speaker 1: was like the sink arm pitcher, like submarine pitcher.
Speaker 2: What are we talking about?
Speaker 1: But I just remind brain went when you said Hobveey Lopez,
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2: What is the friends?
Speaker 1: Hopefully you guys are having a fantastic week. We're gonna
Speaker 1: end it out with some baseball action. Cleig knows some prospects,
Speaker 1: and I wish we had a lot of prospects stuff
Speaker 1: to talk about, though, you know, I could just present
Speaker 1: it to you just right off the top real quick,
Speaker 1: so we could get it out of the way. Cleig,
Speaker 1: do you have any anticipation that within this next week
Speaker 1: we're outside the window that we are going to see
Speaker 1: Really this is about Gunner Henderson or Corbyn Carroll. I
Speaker 1: think that's kind of the big speculative thing right now.
Speaker 1: Do you have any anticipation that we will see either one?
Speaker 4: I actually think we will and Carol is the tough one, like,
Speaker 4: when do we see him? I think we definitely see Carol.
Speaker 4: Based on the comments from the Diamondbacks GM, like it's
Speaker 4: certain that he's coming up win. I don't know, but
Speaker 4: I actually think Gunner gets the first call. So I'm
Speaker 4: kind of speculating and stashing Gunner if you can this
Speaker 4: week in anticipation that he does come up as early
Speaker 4: as next week.
Speaker 3: And I don't think Corban Carrol's far behind him.
Speaker 2: I'm glad that you said it like that.
Speaker 1: You phrased it in a better way that the question
Speaker 1: would have been, is which one would you bank on
Speaker 1: if they were coming up right now? Obviously think there's
Speaker 1: a little leg up Gunner. Positionally, for fantasy, Corbyn Carroll
Speaker 1: might be the end of the day. Just a little
Speaker 1: bit more enticing diamondbacks could put him at a high
Speaker 1: point of the order, be really aggressive on the stolen basis,
Speaker 1: so you know, that's how we do this stuff. I like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I forgot, but that's the bet I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll. I still think they're gonna get him. But
Speaker 1: all those rumors were really you know, right there with
Speaker 1: Gunner where it was like he's not a Jacksonville and
Speaker 1: he's you know, blah blah blah, and then it's like
Speaker 1: he's in the lineup, so don't worry, let's go through
Speaker 1: some headlines.
Speaker 2: Kyle Stowers hit his.
Speaker 1: First major league home run in the bottom of the
Speaker 1: ninth with two outs two strikes against Liam Hendrix to
Speaker 1: send the game to extras. Baltimore eventually one, four, three
Speaker 1: and eleven. The Orioles are now two and a half
Speaker 1: games back on the AL wild Card. And wouldn't you
Speaker 1: know it, Kyle Stowers, I believe was the number one
Speaker 1: hit prop yesterday if you played that bad boy Kyle Stowers.
Speaker 1: Just another continuation of just really good Baltimore Orioles guys
Speaker 1: coming up. Are you hopeful in stashing Kyle Stowers or
Speaker 1: do you think this is just it's kind of like
Speaker 1: I think it's a second stint, so you know, is
Speaker 1: this something that you actually want to run.
Speaker 2: With or do you think this is very temporary?
Speaker 4: I mean, I hope it's permanent, Like he really deserves
Speaker 4: the chance just to be able to run with the
Speaker 4: job at this point, like you know, they're trotting out
Speaker 4: these guys in the outfield where it's kind of like
Speaker 4: outside of Cittric Mullins, like the corner spots you have
Speaker 4: Austin Hayes, like, let Stowers just run with the job
Speaker 4: out there in right field and see what he can
Speaker 4: do at this point, because I don't think he has
Speaker 4: much left to prove in the minors. And we saw
Speaker 4: him get the bump to Triple A last season and
Speaker 4: then play pretty much the entire year in Triple A
Speaker 4: this year and looks really solid. You know, we saw
Speaker 4: him out in the AFL last year. Good bat you know,
Speaker 4: I think he gets all really hard, makes good contact,
Speaker 4: not gonna get a great batting average, but I think
Speaker 4: the Orioles just run with it and see what he's got,
Speaker 4: because I mean, he did make strides this season in
Speaker 4: Triple A.
Speaker 3: Was as far as contact and strikeout rates.
Speaker 4: He's gonna give you a higovp type good chance to
Speaker 4: score runs and even drive runs in depending on where
Speaker 4: he's hitting that lineup. So I'm hopeful that the Orioles
Speaker 4: will let Stours just run with it, but you know,
Speaker 4: you never know with what they're thinking.
Speaker 2: He would like to see it.
Speaker 1: Mister Paul Goldschmith homeward twice, bringing his season total to
Speaker 1: thirty three and probably an eighty percent usage of our
Speaker 1: home run calls yesterday, kiddos, we've got quite the bit
Speaker 1: of change on the board. When we get there with
Speaker 1: mister Paul gold Smith, but he remains two behind Kyle Schwarber,
Speaker 1: who also homered, who I called. But I didn't get
Speaker 1: the two like like Andrew did yesterday, but I did
Speaker 1: get one. Goldman is the first in the NL in
Speaker 1: batting average at three thirty nine and RBI at one
Speaker 1: oh five, and the triple crown remains within reach. Do
Speaker 1: you think Paul gold Schmidt gets the triple crown? And
Speaker 1: is there anybody even remotely close that could even challenge
Speaker 1: this NL MVP? The odds aren't even funny right now.
Speaker 1: The number two is his teammate Aeronatto.
Speaker 2: It's similar to the NL.
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year award, where all that you can
Speaker 1: monopolize each other. So that's almost kind of set. But
Speaker 1: do you think you can hit this triple crown? I
Speaker 1: love the triple crown, by the way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would be phenomenal to see and I certainly
Speaker 4: hope so, But it's just so tough. I mean, you've
Speaker 4: got him at the top of batting average, so he's
Speaker 4: got that. It'd be interesting if he can hold off Freddy,
Speaker 4: like Freddy's pushing him there, But he's got a healthy lead,
Speaker 4: and I think that he can.
Speaker 3: He's hot enough where he can pass Swarber.
Speaker 4: And home runs at least, even though I think Schwarber's
Speaker 4: due for a big weekend. I know he just had
Speaker 4: a home run yesterday and I think it's gonna be
Speaker 4: another big weekend for him. But man, you'd certainly love
Speaker 4: to see him get that triple crown. And like you said, MVP,
Speaker 4: I think he's kind of a shoe in for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a shoe.
Speaker 1: And this is a great question that bizarrezik Isa said,
Speaker 1: next year redraft. Let's go redraft because dynasty. This isn't
Speaker 1: like a question who would you rather have? You know,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be working on my early season ranks
Speaker 1: that are gonna be out in September for next year.
Speaker 1: C Like, I know, you kind of get into that
Speaker 1: same stuff.
Speaker 2: Would you rather have? Do you think at this moment
Speaker 2: Goldie or Vladen so tough?
Speaker 4: But with everything we've seen, like the last two years especially,
Speaker 4: it looks like Goldie's kind of here to stay. And
Speaker 4: I know he'll be thirty five next year. I will
Speaker 4: actually be thirty five to in this season, and you
Speaker 4: wonder when the decline is coming. But it's really hard
Speaker 4: to argue against the results. I mean he's putting up
Speaker 4: some career best numbers across the board, so I kind
Speaker 4: of lean Goldie.
Speaker 1: Uh, the falling knife syndrome is always difficult to deal
Speaker 1: with with when is it.
Speaker 2: Going to happen?
Speaker 1: And I don't want to catch the falling knife when
Speaker 1: it happens. Vladim mcgre twenty six homers, four stolen bases
Speaker 1: too eighty four this year, strike up percentage up a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 2: Everything else is releve I.
Speaker 1: Mean, the numbers are down last year, a little bit
Speaker 1: of an anomaly if you just look at his career,
Speaker 1: but otherwise he's actually kind of up this year over
Speaker 1: his first two seasons in Major League Baseball outside of
Speaker 1: last year. Man, if I'm answering that in a pure redraft,
Speaker 1: I hate to be crazy reactionary, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if I am gonna be able to go against Goldie
Speaker 1: next year. He just looks too locked in. It's gonna
Speaker 1: come down. Goldie's also not like built to be a
Speaker 1: power hitter.
Speaker 2: He just is.
Speaker 1: You know, He's always said that he's like he doesn't
Speaker 1: hit for power, his doubles hitter, and the contact works
Speaker 1: into it.
Speaker 2: I'd like to see. I'd like to see a nice.
Speaker 1: Stretch out of Lad at the back end of the year.
Speaker 1: But I do think based on our expectations, we are
Speaker 1: putting a bad season on flat when at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, he's gonna have thirty plus homers, he's
Speaker 1: gonna have a really good batting average, and I mean
Speaker 1: really everything across the board. Like if you got ninety
Speaker 1: ninety thirty two with a two ninety average, would you
Speaker 1: be disappointed in really any player? No, but Vlad's gonna
Speaker 1: get it simply because he's Lad.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. It'll be hard to bet against an.
Speaker 1: L MVP who looks like he is locked in more
Speaker 1: than any player has ever been locked in, You know
Speaker 1: what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yep, And you're right.
Speaker 4: Vlad's made some strides, He's improved his contact rate, he's
Speaker 4: improved his own contact. The only flaws he's just still
Speaker 4: hitting the ball on the ground too much.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, get back down to last year's levels.
Speaker 3: Those home runs come up.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I want to do a dive in look
Speaker 1: because early season there was that big Toronto team effort
Speaker 1: of like struggling against sliders. The whole team was Bashett
Speaker 1: I think a Springer, Definitely Springer and Vlad they were
Speaker 1: all struggling. You could get them on sliders, and I'm
Speaker 1: curious that how that has adjusted, if at all, this
Speaker 1: season and how pitchers. I just haven't looked at like
Speaker 1: a month by month breakdown or how that he's.
Speaker 2: Attacked any pitching.
Speaker 1: On a very good positive note, Bryce Harper returns to
Speaker 1: action today. I'm guessing way quicker than they thought based
Speaker 1: on the rehabits. I mean, not that they're going to
Speaker 1: keep him there long, but three homers in like two
Speaker 1: or three days is going to do that to you.
Speaker 2: So though there has not been.
Speaker 1: The official thing, which is super annoying by the way,
Speaker 1: because I cannot activate him in tout until they do that,
Speaker 1: they have not taken him off the DL.
Speaker 2: He's coming off.
Speaker 1: Of the DL and probably going to go on quite
Speaker 1: the little run. And this is a huge, huge thing
Speaker 1: here because there was that time period when he got
Speaker 1: hurt clag that we kind of thought like he might
Speaker 1: not be able to do anything for us the rest
Speaker 1: of this season. But he's already shown good early power
Speaker 1: in those minor league extents.
Speaker 2: And I think he's gonna come out swinging.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's got something to prove rest of seasons.
Speaker 4: So I'm pretty excited to see what he can do.
Speaker 4: And if the early re church or play or any incasion,
Speaker 4: then I think granted for a big season for Harper.
Speaker 1: I worry about like that was my big worry was,
Speaker 1: like where was the power going to be? Was it
Speaker 1: going to be zapped or anything like that, And it
Speaker 1: does not look like it's going to be sapped at all.
Speaker 2: Maybe part of a home run call today.
Speaker 1: On the injury front, Nester Cortes fifteen day I l
Speaker 1: with a groin string groin injury out. Zach Wheeler placed
Speaker 1: on the fifteen with a right forearm tendonitis. Ty France
Speaker 1: left Thursday's game with a bruised right calf.
Speaker 2: No bueno.
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker held out a Thursday's contest with a foot injury,
Speaker 1: not believed to be serious. Still nursing all the little
Speaker 1: injury tags that are out there. And you a Mankata
Speaker 1: y'a Mancatta now was removed from Thursday's game due to
Speaker 1: left hamstring tightness. All right, we're gonna play a game here, clegg.
Speaker 2: Are you ready?
Speaker 3: I'm ready?
Speaker 2: You just scary stories? Yeah, sure, Okay, we're doing this.
Speaker 2: Here we go, Chris Clegg, would you dare pick up.
Speaker 1: Trevor Rodgers and put him in your lineup? Trevor Rodgers
Speaker 1: in TRIPAA struck out twelve.
Speaker 2: But is this a fools goold or is this a
Speaker 2: move that you make? Would you damn pick up Trevor Rodgers?
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, my light's back on. He's been.
Speaker 4: He was atrocious like all season, So we know what
Speaker 4: rob just capable of, and we certainly saw that last night.
Speaker 3: Now it's that indication of people'll be moving forward. That's
Speaker 3: tough to say.
Speaker 4: And I really think he gets back to working that
Speaker 4: change up, then we can see him be a solid
Speaker 4: starter rest of season.
Speaker 3: I think I'm willing to pick him up.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure I'm willing to run him out the
Speaker 4: first start back, like, unless you just your ratio is
Speaker 4: already shot.
Speaker 1: It's a great matchup. By the way, it was no
Speaker 1: hit six, no hit innings. I believe twelve strikeouts, fifty
Speaker 1: seven and eighty six pitches for strikes. But he's come
Speaker 1: off of a almost sick era he had on the year,
Speaker 1: and it's fools gold, you know that's what he is. Like,
Speaker 1: You're like Oh this looks so pretty. Kick it up
Speaker 1: and it's just chocolate, or he's terrifying to me, all stupid,
Speaker 1: lame Jose's side of turning off my life. But it's like,
Speaker 1: would you dare this is the thing that haunts or
Speaker 1: save you? Because Trevor Rodgers is probably out there available
Speaker 1: for everybody, and there is the thought that he might
Speaker 1: come up next week and they might get him in
Speaker 1: for a spot start or maybe just throw him back
Speaker 1: in the rotation because there's a lot of positive things
Speaker 1: that came out of Obviously there's no hit innings. You know,
Speaker 1: you're commanding it left and right. Maybe he got that
Speaker 1: big boost, but you know we're both insinuating that, like
Speaker 1: if it goes wrong his playoff time, this is going
Speaker 1: to screw you. I think this is a dangerous, dangerous
Speaker 1: play that could pay off big or is going to
Speaker 1: just set you off on your ratios for the rest
Speaker 1: of the week.
Speaker 2: If it's early.
Speaker 4: I agree, and he's lined up to face Tampa Bay
Speaker 4: if all kind of goes as planned, So I don't know,
Speaker 4: that would be interesting to be next Wednesday, is what
Speaker 4: Fantasy pros has it. If he does rejoin the rotation,
Speaker 4: there so, like you said, it's a major coin flip
Speaker 4: could pay off, it could just totally blow up in
Speaker 4: your face.
Speaker 2: Only the people watching got any of that. They're like,
Speaker 2: why as well?
Speaker 1: Whis just a lot of space in between his words.
Speaker 1: I turned off the lights and I turned my flashlight on.
Speaker 1: It's a horrifying look for me. But would you dare Clegg?
Speaker 2: You might? I might? Who are they playing on Wednesday
Speaker 2: at Tampa Bay? Yeah? I might risk that one. I might.
Speaker 2: I might do that.
Speaker 1: Uh, this is a fun fact, Sarah Lang. Thirteen runs
Speaker 1: without a single home run where the Yankees most runs
Speaker 1: in a game without homering since May eleventh.
Speaker 2: Of two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: They had thirteen runs, zero homers versus the Orioles. And
Speaker 1: this was the lineup. So the Yankees lineup in that
Speaker 1: on that team had Chuck knoblock at DH, Derek Jeter,
Speaker 1: Paul O'Neill, Bernie Williams, Tino Martinez, Jor Pisada, David Chuzas,
Speaker 1: Alfonso Soriano, Scopproaches with Mike Seed hitching. That was the
Speaker 1: team that scored thirteen runs without a homer. But check
Speaker 1: out this Orioles lineup. Brady Anderson Mike board aboard a borderic,
Speaker 1: the lineup of Shields, Chris Richard, hal Ripken Junior, Greg Myers,
Speaker 1: Melvin Mora. I loved Melvin Moore for some reason, Fernando Lunar,
Speaker 1: Jerry Harriston with Willis Roberts like you look back on that,
Speaker 1: you're like Jesus. That's like baseball royalty across the board.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I was more interested in the
Speaker 1: lineups when I looked at it than the actual stat.
Speaker 2: But that was a fun fact from Sarah Langs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty mild to see, and she look get
Speaker 4: back as lots as crazy. You think it's been that long,
Speaker 4: and it just shows you how quick times, you know,
Speaker 4: times slow down.
Speaker 3: Wish it would.
Speaker 1: In some ways, time keeps on tick and ticking when
Speaker 1: you say into the okay, let's look at some stat heroes.
Speaker 1: Paul gold Schmidt, as you know, went three for four,
Speaker 1: hit two homers, five RBI with three runs, very good performance.
Speaker 1: Four for five for Manny Marco with two RBI.
Speaker 2: Two two runs. Josh Donaldson three for five, three rbs,
Speaker 2: four runs. Josh Donaldson.
Speaker 1: I feel like I smacked Donaldson months ago, and ever
Speaker 1: since then, it's just been go time.
Speaker 2: She langleears three four with a homer and two RB No.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Nine, Dan Jason Homer, Mitch Hanneger two for four with
Speaker 1: a homer and three RBI. Ian Happ three for four
Speaker 1: with a couple of RBI himself. Anthony Santander was on
Speaker 1: the board.
Speaker 2: Andrew Vaughan two for four with a homer.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's been just really quiet lately. And
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo a homer, two for four. Pete Alonzo or
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman next year.
Speaker 3: I still think got Leen Freddie.
Speaker 4: I just feel like he's just the safe bet, kind
Speaker 4: of like Goldsmith, where they're just super safe, best to hit.
Speaker 4: So yeah, Alonzo's definitely pushed closer to that range, but
Speaker 4: just the security of Freddy's really nice.
Speaker 2: To have on the pitching side.
Speaker 1: Aaron Nola he went a full nine, striking out eleven
Speaker 1: with five hits. Jacob de Gram went six, striking out nine.
Speaker 1: He had like, dude, he had like eight strikeouts through five.
Speaker 2: Or something like that. Then he had a little of
Speaker 2: a wonky fifth inning. Lance Lynn six with eight strikeouts,
Speaker 2: one and run, three hits in a walk.
Speaker 1: Marco Gonzalez went six, gave up only four hits to
Speaker 1: Coda Hudson seven and runs to seven I'm sorry seven
Speaker 1: innings too and runs five hits with four strikeouts. Your
Speaker 1: stat zero's Charlie Blackman oh for four with three strikeouts,
Speaker 1: Austin Hayes and Sam Hilliard. On the pitching side, James
Speaker 1: Kaprillian two and two thirds, eight earned runs, six hits,
Speaker 1: seven hits, six walks. Marcus Stroman gave up five earned runs,
Speaker 1: Chris Archer gave up five earned runs, and Cutter Crawford
Speaker 1: four earned runs. What's been up with Marcus Stroman? Are
Speaker 1: you a big Marcus Stroman guy through the rest of
Speaker 1: this year?
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 4: I've never really been like he seems like his value
Speaker 4: kind of goes up and down where people get really
Speaker 4: excited about him preseason, and he's he's kind of just
Speaker 4: a guy for me. He doesn't strike out enough, and
Speaker 4: it always seems like, kind of what the exception of
Speaker 4: last season, that the era is just, you know, higher
Speaker 4: than we would like, and that's kind of the case
Speaker 4: this year. I know some of the perpherial numbers are
Speaker 4: a little bit better, but still when you're getting a
Speaker 4: four RA or higher in a twenty percent.
Speaker 3: Kra just doesn't do much for me.
Speaker 2: I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I agree especially in these guys too, with like the Stromans,
Speaker 1: the Archers, this is a lot of the you expected crew.
Speaker 1: Funny way funny when you look at the high end pitchers,
Speaker 1: the guys have performed, You're like, hey, look there's Aaron
Speaker 1: Nola and there's de Grom. There's a positive land. You know,
Speaker 1: that's when we didn't talk about everybody has been you know,
Speaker 1: putting Lancelin out the past year here, but putting together
Speaker 1: some big, strong performances could make him a really decent
Speaker 1: cheap buy next year. Are you a by candidate on
Speaker 1: Lanceln or do you believe some of the struggles this
Speaker 1: year are just.
Speaker 2: In his future.
Speaker 4: It's a really tough one for me to evaluate, honestly, Like,
Speaker 4: we've seen what he's capable of, and the stretch has
Speaker 4: been really good as of reason, So maybe he was
Speaker 4: just one of those things where just coming back from
Speaker 4: injury just took him a little bit longer to get acclimated.
Speaker 4: And in that case, like, I think you can make
Speaker 4: an argument that he's a decently strong buye and I
Speaker 4: think the value will be depressed enough because he's already
Speaker 4: thirty five, will be thirty six early next season, so
Speaker 4: if you're a redraft, it could be a good bye.
Speaker 3: And even in Dynasty, like I think you can get
Speaker 3: them for dirt cheap at this point.
Speaker 2: Dirt cheap by one hundred percent. Agree.
Speaker 1: Hey, friends, who wants to look at a home run
Speaker 1: leader board? Because we got an update. It took like
Speaker 1: ten days, but we got an updated leaderboard. Hold your horses,
Speaker 1: because we have a brand new person at the top.
Speaker 2: Boom. That is not a new person at the top.
Speaker 1: That's actually different from what the board I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: They just did the I set that whole thing up
Speaker 1: and this doesn't even look right.
Speaker 2: What's on here?
Speaker 1: I gotta take this off. I don't think this is right. Nope,
Speaker 1: to get the overlay, we're naked. Uh So what I
Speaker 1: have on here is d Blum at the top. So
Speaker 1: I think they had a Yesterday's which is horrible.
Speaker 2: That is not new. I know that's yesterday's and they
Speaker 2: titled it today. What are they doing to me here? Okay, well,
Speaker 2: the anticipation killed.
Speaker 1: They're not my faults outside of us having the naked
Speaker 1: overlay there. D Blum is at the top with forty seven,
Speaker 1: not High Covey like they had done. Yesterday's High Covey
Speaker 1: has forty six. Go Cards is at forty five with
Speaker 1: cat Fox at forty three, So Cat Fox jumped up.
Speaker 1: Dee Blum, Go cards of Cat Fox all had Paul
Speaker 1: gold schmitht with the two homers. That is a huge move,
Speaker 1: and we now have it looks like nine players with
Speaker 1: forty homers. That's because we were at six. We've gotten
Speaker 1: nine in there. D Blum forty seven at the very top.
Speaker 2: And let's see what is that.
Speaker 1: El scal is down here with Helpless in Miami, and
Speaker 1: all I do is win win. When they all had
Speaker 1: gold Shmint yesterday, they all jumped up. Mike Mayer moved
Speaker 1: down a little bit.
Speaker 2: I mean really, when.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this, it looked like six of the
Speaker 1: top ten people called Paul gold Smith yesterday and bam,
Speaker 1: so dee Blum again. Apologies. They sent me here's the
Speaker 1: eight twenty six board. I put it up and that
Speaker 1: was one hundred percent yesterday's stuff. But Deeblum has taken
Speaker 1: the freaking lead man. That's a big, big move, and
Speaker 1: it's always a big move with our friends over at
Speaker 1: bet MGM for Kings and Queens.
Speaker 2: We are rocking the Red today.
Speaker 1: We have now officially created three different game use gear
Speaker 1: of our tiaras. Because over at BETMGM, if you go
Speaker 1: and sign up right now and use the promo code
Speaker 1: leading off, you can get a one thousand dollars risk
Speaker 1: free bet.
Speaker 2: You can go and make it. Let us know what
Speaker 2: you do.
Speaker 1: Use the app or go online bet MGM. Maybe you
Speaker 1: can do something on one of these awesome props. If
Speaker 1: you had done Kyle Stowers yesterday, you could be swimming
Speaker 1: in risk free money, which would be great. Kings and Queens,
Speaker 1: if you have a crown or a tiara, they're.
Speaker 2: Good for you. And the bets that we've got today,
Speaker 2: do you guys like the Red? By the way, I
Speaker 2: thought the Blue yesterday popped, but I think the Red
Speaker 2: gym is very good, So I don't know. We'll have
Speaker 2: to vote what our favorite is.
Speaker 1: We've got four bets and as always I've got the
Speaker 1: top total base in the top strikeout prop, and then
Speaker 1: I've got the top money play which I got to
Speaker 1: go dig for on there, and the top money play
Speaker 1: on strikeouts in total bases. This is over at bettingpros
Speaker 1: dot Com on the mlbprop cheat sheet.
Speaker 2: Go and check that out.
Speaker 1: So the top play for the day in total bases
Speaker 1: is Kyle Schwarber. So Claig, I'm gonna go through these
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna ask you which ones that you like.
Speaker 1: If you like all of them, if you like one,
Speaker 1: got to at least pick one. Kyle Schwarber total bases
Speaker 1: today is at one and a half. They project him
Speaker 1: over three and a half and it's only minus one eighteen.
Speaker 1: It's actually pretty good juice.
Speaker 2: He hit a homer yesterday. That was a great play.
Speaker 1: The top plus money play is Jock Peterson at Minnesota.
Speaker 1: This one is projected over two. It's one and a
Speaker 1: half and it's plus one fifteen, So you gotta get
Speaker 1: two total bases and you're getting plus money on this.
Speaker 1: Now the strikeouts, the number one play today is Lance
Speaker 1: McCullers versus Baltimore. He is projected over seven by Fantasy pros.
Speaker 1: The number is five and a half and it is
Speaker 1: minus one sixty with the plus money play coming from
Speaker 1: JP Sears, who is projected at four and a half.
Speaker 1: Strikeouts the number is three and a half and it's
Speaker 1: plus one oh two, so it's just barely over there,
Speaker 1: so you just need four strikeouts from Sears. So again
Speaker 1: you have Sears, you've got McCullers, Jock Peterson, and Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 1: What you're thinking about those plays?
Speaker 2: What do you like?
Speaker 4: I was digging into Jock a little bit, just looking
Speaker 4: at what he has to offer, and you know, facing
Speaker 4: Joe Ryan. He's never faced Joe Ryan, but it seems
Speaker 4: like it's a match made in heaven for Jock because
Speaker 4: Joe Ryan loves to locate his force him up in
Speaker 4: the zone and Jock absolutely destroys force.
Speaker 3: M up in the zone.
Speaker 4: And the Vlow's not really there with Joe Ryan. Ryan's
Speaker 4: kind of faded a bit. So I like the play
Speaker 4: of Jock Peterson here and Sears is an interesting one.
Speaker 4: Like McCullers, I feel really good about. But the Sears
Speaker 4: play like you know, three and a half, Like I
Speaker 4: could see him eclipsing that even though you know we
Speaker 4: have we haven't seen him do it in quite a while.
Speaker 4: It's been over a month actually, but look he's facing
Speaker 4: I mean, we're facing Oakland, so today could be the
Speaker 4: day that that happens. So I actually like most all
Speaker 4: these Kyle Schwarber's like he's going to be my home
Speaker 4: run call for today actually spoiler alert, So all the
Speaker 4: players actually look really good to me. The Colors has
Speaker 4: been sharp since coming back, so but I'm actually digging
Speaker 4: the Jock petersone the most.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and in verse I think you just said
Speaker 1: it on but Sears with Oakland now, oh yeah, former
Speaker 1: with the Yankees, which makes yes, no, no, I mean
Speaker 1: he was that's where he was, so that I kind
Speaker 1: of think that one is kind of interesting. The Schwarber
Speaker 1: one is probably my favorite, you know, lead off hit,
Speaker 1: especially with these total based props. You know, something I'm
Speaker 1: trying I try to focus on is like one of
Speaker 1: two things. When I'm gonna be playing these and for
Speaker 1: the most part, unless I'm getting good money on them
Speaker 1: with betting, like you want to play as much individual
Speaker 1: as you can. You don't want to be parlaying because
Speaker 1: you're just gonna lose your ass off if you do
Speaker 1: it every single day. But you want to have as
Speaker 1: close to even money if you're gonna play them solo,
Speaker 1: or if you really feel really confident.
Speaker 2: Maybe pair two together.
Speaker 1: And I usually am going for obviously big mashers that
Speaker 1: have like a good match up against a person or
Speaker 1: you know, great righty lefty split or or and this
Speaker 1: is maybe the most important. Someone's hitting closer in the
Speaker 1: lineup so they have the potential for more at bats.
Speaker 1: And Kyle Schwarber leading off always gets you that.
Speaker 2: So he's even though the average kind of sucks, if
Speaker 2: it's a good hit hitter to pitcher matchup. He's just
Speaker 2: a play I'd like to go with.
Speaker 1: Then last night it worked out with the big bomb
Speaker 1: and he's going to get the total bases, so getting
Speaker 1: close to even money. I kind of dig that against Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: And isn't it Bryce Wilson today?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean never you know what, love love the
Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarbon against Bryce Wilson. That's my play of the
Speaker 1: day versus the rest of these bad boys. By the way,
Speaker 1: some thought I like Brian's here. Brian had said that.
Speaker 2: I should give away give out one of the.
Speaker 1: Trs with an autograph index card from Welsh to the
Speaker 1: person with twenty four. Craig called, which isn't that interesting
Speaker 1: because Brian goes, hey, I've got twenty four.
Speaker 2: I'm coming for you. So you're saying you want one,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm definitely gonna do something with this.
Speaker 1: Maybe I will do I could do one of those
Speaker 1: I do like an audit, like a personalized autograph game,
Speaker 1: use Tiara to someone one h who's still hanging out
Speaker 1: and watching on Fantasy pros here.
Speaker 2: Maybe I will do that. I like that. And what
Speaker 2: was Wonkey's thing?
Speaker 1: Wonky had said, I'm now missing it, but oh that
Speaker 1: deeblem is now one away from Judge in real life.
Speaker 1: That's what we've been waiting for in the home run contest,
Speaker 1: is someone to actually pass Judge who's in real life
Speaker 1: doing it when we're picking all these players every single day.
Speaker 1: So Deeblam is only there, is almost there.
Speaker 2: So keep it up, my friends, keep it up. That's
Speaker 2: good stuff over on DFS.
Speaker 1: Got some prices for you on Draft Kings and Fandueled
Speaker 1: DraftKings Chris Bassett nine to nine, Musgrove ninety three, Freddy
Speaker 1: Perlta eight seven, Spencer Strider ninety five, and Garrett Cole
Speaker 1: ten seven. So you know, maybe it's something in there
Speaker 1: for Freddy Prawult is just kind of being undervalued.
Speaker 2: Funny thing. I think it's on Gosh. I think it's
Speaker 2: on Draft Kings.
Speaker 1: It could be on Fandel maybe both, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, but one of them, Justin Steele, is priced
Speaker 1: like a thousand dollars more than Peralta. That's where he's fallen,
Speaker 1: because he's fallen apart in latter innings, later innings. But
Speaker 1: maybe you could take Paralta and put him even with
Speaker 1: like a Strider even though it's a tougher matchup, or
Speaker 1: a musk Grove in a two pitcher setup on FanDuel
Speaker 1: Kyler Anderson's nine to nine, Musgrove is ten eight, mccollers
Speaker 1: is nine to two, Praul to eight eight, and Garrett
Speaker 1: Cole is even eleven k. And if you're looking for
Speaker 1: some lineup builders, you're looking for five or more team
Speaker 1: total implied runs. Philly, Toronto, the Mets, and the Padres
Speaker 1: are all projected over five total team runs. So if
Speaker 1: you want to play some guys maybe higher in the lineup,
Speaker 1: you could go and do that home run time. Mister
Speaker 1: Chris Clegg, you got to get on the board. Andrew
Speaker 1: Seifer hit a bomb, hit two bombs yesterday with his
Speaker 1: gold Schmid call.
Speaker 2: I want to say, I don't know Bubba hit one
Speaker 2: this week.
Speaker 1: I don't remember how the guests have done. If I'm
Speaker 1: being honest with you, but what do you got here
Speaker 1: for a home run call?
Speaker 4: I kind of spoiled it earlier, but I'm going with
Speaker 4: Kyle Schwarber. I love the matchup and I think he's
Speaker 4: gonna have a big weekend. I already guest started early yesterday,
Speaker 4: as you mentioned, So I'm going with Swarber for the
Speaker 4: call this week and him to potentially hit more than
Speaker 4: one this weekend.
Speaker 2: All right? Am I seeing in the chat? Did Julio's
Speaker 2: get a contract extension? Or is everyone just speculating? Oh,
Speaker 2: here we go. Jesse Sanchez, who's a nice guy.
Speaker 1: And Jeff Passon, the Mariner's outfielder Julio Rodriguez is finalizing
Speaker 1: a deal with the Marions.
Speaker 2: The deals expected to guarantee him.
Speaker 1: More than two hundred million dollars with the possibility of
Speaker 1: earning four hundred and fifty million plus for.
Speaker 2: A t What wow, I mean that is? That is
Speaker 2: a massive mats is there? That's a massive deal.
Speaker 1: And Jeff Passing how he reported it, was saying that
Speaker 1: they're finalizing a massive long term extension that is a
Speaker 1: doozy two hundred million dollars with the possibility of four
Speaker 1: fifty Claig, that has got to be I'm gonna just
Speaker 1: because how old is Julia right now?
Speaker 2: Twenty one? Yeah, twenty twenty two. I'm gonna guess this
Speaker 2: has to look like twelve years.
Speaker 1: Years spread out on the two hundred and then obviously
Speaker 1: whatever the incentives are, how many years do you think
Speaker 1: this is?
Speaker 3: I would bet at least ten.
Speaker 4: You know, you're looking at the age and me goo
Speaker 4: more mean, you look at what Tatiscott he got what fourteen?
Speaker 4: Crazy like that, So I wouldn't be surprised to see
Speaker 4: it be ten plus. And you know, even the people
Speaker 4: think about the money, like, well it's not that much,
Speaker 4: but think about the league minimum that he's making now
Speaker 4: and would make the next two years. So like that's
Speaker 4: kind of important to think about when we think about
Speaker 4: these extensions with these young players. So it's a it's
Speaker 4: a massive deal. And to go up to four fifty
Speaker 4: like just just crazy. So I would guess ten to
Speaker 4: fourteen range.
Speaker 1: I mean, the fourteen is kind of what stood out.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing if I can find something real quick that
Speaker 1: would be fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here we go.
Speaker 1: How about this, uh, Claig, this is a game which
Speaker 1: one doesn't have two hundred million dollars fixture.
Speaker 3: Gonna go with the Welsh, go with the Wells, going
Speaker 3: to go.
Speaker 1: One of these guys is worth four hundred and fifty million.
Speaker 1: One is worth four hundred and fifty dollars, So you
Speaker 1: take a guess at which one it is. That's a massive,
Speaker 1: crazy deal. We'll find out more details here soon. That's
Speaker 1: some breaking news. Literally just came down and saw the
Speaker 1: chat kind of blowing up there. Two hundred million dollar
Speaker 1: extension with up to four hundred and fifty and incentives
Speaker 1: is wild. And you know what he's face Baseball might
Speaker 1: be the number one pick in Dynasty with the fall
Speaker 1: of Bernando Tatis Junior and Acunya's kind of like little
Speaker 1: I don't know if you want.
Speaker 2: To just a halting of crazy. Upside might be the
Speaker 2: number one Dynasty guy looking like the face. He's fun.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Those are big numbers on the home run
Speaker 2: call you called, who the hell did you call it?
Speaker 1: You got totally just like over time, I apologize you,
Speaker 1: you got Schwartz. I'm actually getting on the same side.
Speaker 1: Given Pryce Harper, give me Price Harper for the weekend.
Speaker 1: He's only daching I don't think they're going to sit
Speaker 1: him man on a mission.
Speaker 2: He's beat out. He wants to crank some homes.
Speaker 1: So I'm imnaja, just take me some Bryce Harper and
Speaker 1: hope that there's that angry Harper is in there and
Speaker 1: we're gonna get.
Speaker 2: Some of that.
Speaker 1: It looks like we got wunkey with those Ramirez, Joe
Speaker 1: always gets to Judge and whoever else is out there.
Speaker 2: Friends, that was it. That's a friends. I hope we
Speaker 2: did good. I appreciate you. Just's hang out with us.
Speaker 1: We've got potential game used Tiara stuff, We've got breaking news.
Speaker 1: We had my scary story segment. I probably need to
Speaker 1: like make that better.
Speaker 2: I literally thought it up on the first grade. Thank you.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Don't see any line today. We might be without doctor
Speaker 1: Glenn Clig.
Speaker 2: What do you got going on? What do you got
Speaker 2: to promote?
Speaker 4: Not too much, you know, just still pumping out content
Speaker 4: as the season's you know, coming to and end sadly,
Speaker 4: but you know, really doing a lot of prospect. Eval's
Speaker 4: trying to get back and watch film at this point
Speaker 4: as much as I can being at games.
Speaker 3: So that's that's a big thing.
Speaker 4: But We're still doing the prospect call ups over on
Speaker 4: Fantasy Pros on Tuesday, so we've had some good calls there,
Speaker 4: and uh, like you mentioned, I've got Gunner and gorbyin
Speaker 4: Carroll at the top.
Speaker 3: Last week, I did have Tristan Cassus near the end.
Speaker 3: I think I had them third.
Speaker 4: But I did get information from a source that they're
Speaker 4: not planning to call them up this year unless there's,
Speaker 4: like you know, just significant injury. But so that's kind
Speaker 4: of a bummer. But Cossus will see next year quick Grades.
Speaker 4: It'll be maybe out now, I'm not sure, but it'll
Speaker 4: be out this afternoon or tomorrow.
Speaker 3: If not, it really likes Paul Goldsmith.
Speaker 4: Next week, so gold Smith and Ayone both calls Quick
Speaker 4: Aids and you find aodcastever fans tracktu Shed coming Dynasty
Speaker 4: prospects and they has some dynasty and profit cover fan
Speaker 4: acts as well. So well, I went on, but the
Speaker 4: best time of year, man.
Speaker 2: I wonder if Cassis would be a potential AFL again
Speaker 2: to go a second straight year for some of the
Speaker 2: mistime and whatnot. Be on the lookout. If you guys
Speaker 2: care about any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: We're getting close probably within then I would imagine the
Speaker 1: next like two weeks of announcements on players that are
Speaker 1: going to be.
Speaker 2: Going to the Arizona Fall League. I have a couple
Speaker 2: of names. I have a handful of names that I've
Speaker 2: personally gotten that's on the hush hush of who.
Speaker 1: No one's supposed to say, but they're starting to know.
Speaker 1: And I think with the minor league season ending, you're
Speaker 1: going to have something more official. So they may announce
Speaker 1: that pretty soon, and that's pretty important. I'll also be
Speaker 1: out there getting lots of video and all that stuff
Speaker 1: of all of them. You guys can find me on Twitter.
Speaker 2: Is it the Welsh?
Speaker 1: Got a Prospect one podcast coming up this week. Frank
Speaker 1: Stanfield from CBS is going to be joining me talking
Speaker 1: about the Prospect one ADP's.
Speaker 2: My own draft and his and you guys know all
Speaker 2: the other drills. Thank you guys so much for hanging out.
Speaker 2: We love you all. It's leading off, We're out of here. Peace, Peace,
