0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>We haven't even started yet. People have a lot of

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>feelings already after the weekend's action. Look at our friend

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Beefy is giving me props as JOEYP was right about Bucksin'

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 1>after the home runs he went oh for four and

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.480
<v Speaker 1>then got hurt. That's right, I told you so. But Welsh,

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>it's good to see you. It's been a weekend. I

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.959
<v Speaker 1>saw the Flash yesterday. I enjoyed it. You were right,

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>it was fun. And get this. One of my old

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>acting students that I taught, one of my combat students,

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.239
<v Speaker 1>was in the movie and was very funny. He was

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.959
<v Speaker 1>the guy on the couch Gary with the taxiles.

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I saw you post that that you were like, this

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.279
<v Speaker 2>is my old acting buddy that was in there.

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he was one of my students about ten years ago.

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Always a funny guy, just hysterical and I texted him

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>immediately after, go dude, I didn't know you were in Flash.

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>He said, he was in a big movie coming up.

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I knew he had told me he wouldn't tell me

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>what I said. Okay, cool. But here's a fun fact.

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>He also was. You know how Ezra Miller and the

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Flash had to like act against himself basically for the

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>entire movie. You know, in multiple versions of Flash, he

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>played teenage Flash in all the scenes where he had

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>to be the other Flash, so like as the actor.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 1>So he basically you know, had to do all of

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>those scenes with him. So that's pretty cool. So look

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>at that fun things. What did you do this weekend?

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Well that's fun? Nothing fun, Absolutely not. There's nothing fun

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 2>that happened. I stared at the bait at the baseball

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>all weekend so I could give the proper analyzes to

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 2>all of you. That's all that I did. I don't

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 2>do anything else except for you people.

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Analy Well that's nice, and we've got a lot of

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>fun coming up too. We got the All Star break

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>coming up, All Star Game, he'll run derby MLBFT Futures

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>game we have.

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I believe it's today. You know what I'm now I'm

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm mistaking which day it is, you' seether today or tomorrow.

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>But we got game three, the final game of the

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 2>College World Series. Because you want to talk about a

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.959
<v Speaker 2>great game? Was Game one LSU Florida with another walk

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 2>off and now boom you've got and then they blew

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 2>it out. Florida blew it out in game two. You've

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 2>got Game three coming up. But see the today or

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.959
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow LSU Florida for the College World Series. And there

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>is a gajillion prospects, if not the top three three

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 2>MLB draft prospects, in that one game. Why at Langford

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Paul Skeens and Drew Dylan Cruz. If you guys want

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 2>to check that out of all the.

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Keys, is my favorite name, I like Skeens. Skeens is

0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>my guy, ske Skeens, Skeens, Keens, all Keens. That's gonna

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>be his walk up music.

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>All you Dylan's calls Keens Keens Keens.

0:02:56.360 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh goodness, courageous. Let's get to the headlines, welsh uh.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with the Angels, who had themselves a day

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, scoring twenty five runs. It was a lot.

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.919
<v Speaker 1>Two guys went five for five. We had Hunter Renfro

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>going five for five. We had Mickey Moniac going five

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>for five.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh oh, so how Taylor Ward do Mickey Moniac? How

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 2>did Taylor Ward do in that game?

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't know. I wasn't even I couldn't

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>even tell you. But on the other side of that too.

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Just wanted to bring this up because you know, some

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>people might be looking for some extra help still on

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>the trade market. And Ezekiel Tovar, who is a player

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>that you and I both really love coming into the season,

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>struggled mightily early in the year. It was really picked

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>things up recently. He has a nine game hitting streak

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>over that span, hitting three sixty one. He has hit

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>safely in eighteen of his last twenty games in June,

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>so Tovar looks like he's really starting to get it.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like this is an asset that I

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say it's been forgotten about, but I

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>think undervalued. What are your thoughts on Tovar here for

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>the Rockies the rest of the season, because I know

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>the Rockies have not been great. We've trolled them quite

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>a bit, but Tovar seems to really be putting it together.

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>After a very impressive twenty twenty two minor league campaign.

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty indifferent about having impactful fantasy pickup stuff like,

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 2>so I think you might be a little bit more

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 2>excited than I am. But especially when you look at

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.039
<v Speaker 2>like the Savant page, it's really bad hard to hit

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 2>wOBA barrel percentage whiff rate, like especially like a whiff

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 2>rate with all the bad barrel and hard hit. None

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.280
<v Speaker 2>of those go together well. But what I will tell

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 2>you in agreement with you, He's improved his average three

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 2>straight months while decreasing his strikeouts every single month and

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>increasing his home run total every single month. So all

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.119
<v Speaker 2>three of those things work really well. Colorado's a pretty

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.840
<v Speaker 2>good baseline. I still think this is kind of more

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 2>of a better real life player. The ground ball rate

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 2>has gone down, which you love to see, while line

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>drive is up around twenty eight percent from twenty so

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>he's making better quality contact. Colorado's kind of a good baseline.

0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I think this is a deeper ish league pickup. I

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's short league, and I think the offense

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 2>is kind of muted. See like that question right there,

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Tovar just out of Tovar and drop Matos. I don't

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>think I would do that. I think I would hold

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 2>on to Matos after crushing his hit Merril Kelly just

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 2>the other day for his first major league home run.

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I think they might be similar categorically, except I think

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Matos has a little bit more power and more contact.

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>This is from motionok, tactical Tovar or Jeremy Pania.

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.359
<v Speaker 2>My gut, I haven't even looked at Jeremy Penia's numbers.

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say Pania, but let me take a look here. Yeah,

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 2>nine homers, more stolen bases are coming from Payna. He's

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 2>hitting two fifty. He's actually got they've almost got identical xba's.

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I would still and he needs decreases to strike up percentage.

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>I would go with Painia on this one. I guess

0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm just not as Tovar as you.

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Payina is the safer one, but I think Tovar is

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the guy that has a little bit, you know. I

0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>would say more upside uh for that. And we're getting

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 1>questions again too, about all of a sudden, the audio

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and my mic volumes. How about now? Am I nice

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.599
<v Speaker 1>and loud? Now? Is that what's going on here? I

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:07.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know?

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Are you you sound fine to me?

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 1>What do people sound fine to me?

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>But wait, are they complaining about me? That's the question.

0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm most concerned.

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but we've been trying to fix this.

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 1>We don't know what's going on. But let's continue on

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 1>with the headlines. But Kenzie gore nine strikeouts and five

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>innings against his old club, the San Diego Padres. So

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>that was fun. Uri Perez was also fun. He gets

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>his fifth W. The ere's at one point thirty four,

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 1>six innings, nine k's, one walk, zero earned runs. He's

0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>given up zero runs in his last twenty one innings.

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Somebody in the chat I forgot who it was, said

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>something about can Uri Perez just pitch every day? I

0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 1>don't think he can, but I think we'd all like that,

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>don't you think? Uh?

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I want Euri Prez every single day. I don't

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 2>want him to ever go down. He is mag he

0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 2>is magnificent. To watch fifty four strikeouts in there, taking

0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>a look, twenty nine point two percent hard hit percentage

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 2>is expected, ERA is still low threes. I'm fascinated how

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>this whole process is gonna go. I don't know if

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>you just said it but they are saying that it

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>looks like they're gonna probably do a tiny bit of

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 2>a shutdown prior to the All Star break, so a

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit earlier. So I don't know if that's going

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 2>to be maybe one or something like that, and then

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna pop back on the second half. So I

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 2>think that's gonna be able to stabilize some of his

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 2>fantasy value.

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.679
<v Speaker 1>All Right, we all find out. I mean, let's let's hope,

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.119
<v Speaker 1>because Perez has been absolute gold. What's in a keeper

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>league situation, dynasty league situation. How valuable is the situation

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>situation in the situations that we got here, How how

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>valuable is Perez on that chart? Right now, Let's say

0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a startup dynasty next year and you're looking for

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>pitching help. What does that? I know, it's you know,

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of putting you up against it in terms.

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Of well, I'm pulling up my dynasty.

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I actually pretty high up there, right?

0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Is he top twenty, top twenty overall or top twenty sps.

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Top twenty sps.

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, I'm taking a look at I just recently

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 2>updated my Dynasty ranks. But Uri continues to go. So

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 2>I had Uri on my last update at where did

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>he go? I just saw him sixty six overall, sixty

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 2>six overall of all players, and that would have put

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>him I put him right near like Joe Ryan, because

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>if you're thinking about age long term, I think it

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 2>would have put him top fifteen, top twelve sp And

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know I think he I think he pushes

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 2>up against guys like George Kirby, Julio Urius. I mean

0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 2>that's the level of where we're pushing for what his

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 2>production is, to where he's gonna go long term.

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's continue on here. Jose Brau two for five.

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's not a lost season yet, picking things up

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit this month. Still not great, But what

0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna do? Lane Thomas? I want to talk

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Abu Laane Thomas because I gave some Dane Thomas love

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I do. And here's why. Two ninety six, three forty three,

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 1>five oh seven, thirteen homers, thirty eight RBI and a

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.559
<v Speaker 1>terrible team. He's got seven steals. This was one of

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the players Welsh that we talked about, you know, those

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>late round gems, and Lane Thomas was mine. In fact,

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I even had a video where Lane Thomas was one

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>of those like late round sleeper guys, and I was

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 1>worried when I did it, go, Man, if there's one

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>that's going to really bite me in the rear end.

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:22.839
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this is Lane Thomas. Wanted to look

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>back and say, Man, that really crapped out, but it

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>is not. Lane Thomas has been terrific on a terrible club,

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think this is one of those assets we

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.960
<v Speaker 1>just don't appreciate right now. And I don't think anybody

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:35.959
<v Speaker 1>who's gott enim right now maybe appreciates what he's done

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>because this is a pretty solid season. I mean you're extrapolating.

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about guys Gon ended up with twenty five

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>homers and what like, you know, twelve to fifteen steals,

0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>hitting two ninety. I mean you got him where like

0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.679
<v Speaker 1>well outside the top two hundred.

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think, I I can't. It's on the

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 2>tip of my tongue. There's I feel like there's a

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.839
<v Speaker 2>good previous comp over the last like five years of

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like a really bad team player. He's been leading

0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>off who has been at man. I mean you could

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 2>argue that this is full on five tool, like, like

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 2>what's the marker for a player's RBI to be a

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 2>five tool because I think like five tool run usually

0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 2>to me it's eighties eighties up. But if you've got

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 2>seventy five RBI from Laon Thomas, I think that's near there, right,

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that's about right?

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>Lineup position matters and the ball cubby player matters. You know,

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're hitting in the one or two spot, your

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.599
<v Speaker 1>RBI total is always going to be lower automatically, and

0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>then if you're playing on a crap team that doesn't

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:33.079
<v Speaker 1>have anybody in the work.

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.920
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying, So like, what is the like,

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.640
<v Speaker 2>what is the RBI total in a situation like that?

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I would accept seventy five, but eighty is typically my

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>threshold for both the runs and the RBI.

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 2>So he looks like he is spacing out to be

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:50.959
<v Speaker 2>close to like one hundred runs. He's hitting their three hundred,

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 2>he's going to go twenty homers ten stone basis. I

0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 2>think twenty ten, two, eighty, seventy five, seventy five or

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.840
<v Speaker 2>eighty eighty. He is the five tool baseline and he

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 2>is going to borderline that. So you're right, he has

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 2>totally been a nice, good cheap option. He's not exceptional

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 2>in any like expected or really any stat cast type

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 2>of category. He just gets it done. He's scoring runs. Yeah,

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>he's He's not a league winner, but he is definitely

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>one of those great cheap options as available nowhere available.

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Wander Franco responded to his benching by hitting a home

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>run on Saturday. So good for you, Wander. Don't take

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>no crap off nobody. And Luisa Rise also continues to

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 1>hit baseballs all over place, including a home run this

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>weekend too, which I know Welsh loved Louise a Rise

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.400
<v Speaker 1>home run. I can't imagine the tweets that came her.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Why I haven't.

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 2>An I didn't get a single one. I didn't even

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:42.720
<v Speaker 2>know that.

0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>This is like, okay, a weekend, It's like America Tuesday.

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>You would have gotten him. So blue Moon rookie, looky,

0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I turned into a vampire. Jordan Westburg from the Baltimore

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Orioles getting called up twenty four years old, first round pick,

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>thirtieth overall. In twenty twenty, he was slashing two ninety five,

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.079
<v Speaker 1>three seventy two, five sixty seven with eighteen bombs, fifty

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.480
<v Speaker 1>four REBI, six deals, sixty four strikeouts over that span,

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>so a little high on the strikeout rate over three

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 1>hundred plate appearances. So he can play everywhere, which is good.

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 1>So the versatility that should be interesting. It looks like,

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, shortstop's kind of in his main bag. So

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.520
<v Speaker 1>what is your aggressiveness level on Westburg here and what

0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>do you think his contributions will be to the Orioles?

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Jack Nicholson giff, Yes, this is aggressive, this is pick up.

0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I would drop Tovar for Westburg, and that might not

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 2>feel popular, but I love Jordan Westburg. He's been near

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.439
<v Speaker 2>the tippy top of homers in the miners. His strikeout rate,

0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 2>regardless of what you said, a little over twenty one percent.

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 2>He has had a two hundred plus ISO pretty much.

0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's see, since twenty twenty two, he's had it. The

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.079
<v Speaker 2>two stops he didn't have it were high A in

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Double A in twenty twenty one, but there were one

0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 2>eighty and one ninety. He's hitting two ninety five this year.

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.079
<v Speaker 2>He's done a little bit of everything right. He can

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:00.679
<v Speaker 2>play in the middle infield, well, I kind of think

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.079
<v Speaker 2>he might play second base, just because I think Gunner's

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 2>been doing some short they've got ramon Urius, but they

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 2>might just you know, push all these guys around. Maybe

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Gunner is going to be you know, the full third

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 2>and Jordan's going to be shortstop. But regardless of the point,

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:19.439
<v Speaker 2>this is not a crazy strikeout issue, big power shortstop

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.719
<v Speaker 2>who's been dominating the minor leagues. He has been the

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 2>secondary to cees like we've been screaming where's Christian We're

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 2>still screaming where the hell is Christian incarnation? But Jordan Westburg,

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.599
<v Speaker 2>to me, has been the other one. So this is

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 2>a huge call up. This is huge offensive potential. And

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 2>as much as like you know, like Tovar is pushing

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.440
<v Speaker 2>into like a positive territory, I just think Westburg is

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 2>going to be a lot more RBI centric. He steals

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.959
<v Speaker 2>a few basses, probably nothing big at the majors, he

0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.840
<v Speaker 2>walks a little bit. It's a great recipe. I'm a

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 2>must pick up Westburg. Try to pick up Westburg in

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 2>most instances.

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And as Welsh mentioned, and it was in the Rookie Lookie,

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>so we'll mention it again in case you missed. At

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Louis Mato's two for four with a two run bomb

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday, Congratulations kid, first big League of Merle, first

0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.839
<v Speaker 1>big league homer. There, injuries not too bad, jose L

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Twov again, something else sore heel for him. You know,

0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>two A's thirty three years old. Maybe things are starting

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 1>to catch up to him. All the games, all the

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>playoff games, you know that. I think that's something people

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>forget to the players that have, you know, the smaller player,

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>smaller frame. You always weren't wonder about what's that guy

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:26.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be like when he starts to get into

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 1>his thirties, Especially style of play plays in the infield,

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>second base, aggressive base runner in his career, and then

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>all the extra games he's played in his career in

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs, I think the wear and tear in the

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>mile would just starting to catch up. Without two A

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, I'd be very concerned with him as

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a long term option in keeper dynasty formats. I think

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you want to get out here if he can get

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a good run out of him and flip him here

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 1>at some point.

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think his cost is like a bad spot

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 2>right now for everything. Yeah, you might have to wait

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, But I'd also point out, like dude,

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 2>as a forty year old, I put on sandals and

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 2>I walk around in sandals. The next day, my heels hurt.

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 2>My whole legs hurt, like just wearing sandals.

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I do. I got my compression socks on right now,

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Myron Buxton, I actually don't right now, but sometimes I do.

0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I do.

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 2>What are compressions, like the like the tight like yeah, yeah,

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I have like.

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 1>The copper fit ones. Yeah oh there I go run

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>or I do that stuff like afterwards, I'll put the

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>compression socks on. I'm trying to be proactive.

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember when you were younger and yeah, oh yeah.

0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Painful thing. I continue on anyway.

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I remember when I was like thirteen fourteen, I played

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 2>a ton of like street basketball, like competitive with like

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 2>older guys, and you would just see the guys that

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 2>got pad pad elbow, ankle elle. You see all that stuff,

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, what is the deal. And then now

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 2>you're at that age and you you wake up and

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 2>before you do anything, you're like, all right, compression sock

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 2>on here, advil over here. It takes you an hour

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 2>to get set. I'm just feeling out too, vade.

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>The compression elbow things and stuff like that. The whole thing.

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm like the terminal. I got gear up, I got

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>my gloves, I got the elbow things. If I'm doing legs,

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I gotta have the knee things on the whole thing.

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Did you do that when you did that batting practice

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 2>with pitcherless and all of them a couple of years ago?

0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 2>Did you have all.

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll still get up and swing the wood bat and

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.280
<v Speaker 1>take somebody deep right now, all right, in a major

0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>league ballpark with a wooden bat. I have one hundred

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.880
<v Speaker 1>percent confidence I could do that. I see, you know.

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 2>First pitch is coming, and I've been thinking about trying

0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 2>to organize, like like a home run derby. See if

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I can get a team to want to assist her

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 2>in the Arizona falling to a horn derby? Would that

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 2>kit you out here? Would that kit you out here

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 2>for first pitch?

0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:33.320
<v Speaker 1>It might.

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 2>The problem is the first pitch.

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.240
<v Speaker 1>The problem is always the same thing. It's the thick

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of football season that weekend. I know, I know, but

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>it's hard. It's it's it's on the radar. It's on

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the radar Byron Bucks and not on the radar. He

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>was out due to bax spasms. Shocker James Paxson was

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 1>pulled from his start after four innings with a knee

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.440
<v Speaker 1>sort of shocker. And here would throw this out there too,

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 1>because I've taken a lot of crap from Max Munsey

0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 1>this season, because I said Max Munsey was washed, and

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm gonna stay true to that. I

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>don't care any home runs he's sitting against the Giants.

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, Max Munsey, you seem like a really nice fellow.

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>You seem like a good guy. You seem like a

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>guy to have a beer with. I want to hang out,

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.199
<v Speaker 1>But I don't care about your eighteen home runs. I

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.640
<v Speaker 1>care the fact you're hitting one ninety one. How many

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>times can Max Munsey get under two hundred and still

0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>be a viable major league player?

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.119
<v Speaker 2>Welsh?

0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I care.

0:17:19.960 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I think you can do it probably every single season.

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 2>And now is it a player that I want to

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.360
<v Speaker 2>roster fantasy? No, I'm not into that stuff. I don't

0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 2>like the Joey gallows and when Joey got I don't

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.359
<v Speaker 2>like the I don't like what Shorber was doing, but

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 2>you know you were just buying back in on June Schwarber.

0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't like sub two hundred guys. Whatever counting stats

0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.120
<v Speaker 2>they have, Actually think as much as Munsey has kind

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:41.920
<v Speaker 2>of shut you up in a couple points, which, by

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.919
<v Speaker 2>the way, every time you bear down on Max Monsey,

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.440
<v Speaker 2>it might be by Max Munsey right now, it might

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 2>be a bye everything, because whenever you bear down, that's crazy,

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.120
<v Speaker 2>whenever you bear down. But like, I'm not into any

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 2>of what this is going on, and it's actually been,

0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 2>I think, much worse than like we felt. This has

0:17:58.640 --> 0:17:59.399
<v Speaker 2>been a bad season.

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah it is. And everyone's like, oh, look, Macmon's

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.200
<v Speaker 1>he turning around all the home runs and you know what,

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.359
<v Speaker 1>where where's he been? I haven't seen him on the

0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 1>show sheet except for being hurt. And I'm gonna hold

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.080
<v Speaker 1>that against him because you know, we're just talking about

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 1>how we're old, old and hurt. But hitting one ninety

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 1>one and last year hit under two hundred two, enough

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 1>is enough. Three up and three down. Luis Robert two homers,

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.920
<v Speaker 1>three for four. Matt McClain had himself a day four

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:24.840
<v Speaker 1>for five, three doubles, a homer, five ribbies. He's the

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 1>second Red's rookie to have a four plus extra base

0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.560
<v Speaker 1>hit game. Can you name the other one? Peanuts and

0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.480
<v Speaker 1>cracker Jack Cincinnati Red's rookie to have four extra base

0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.440
<v Speaker 1>hits in one game. That's what I want to see.

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Drop your questions or answers, I should say you in

0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the chat. You have a guess.

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I was about to say, Ellie day La Cruz

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 2>because he hit for the cycle. I think it was

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 2>this week and he hit for the cycle. But I

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.720
<v Speaker 2>guess that was just because one as a single. Yeah,

0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 2>well I thought he had another at back because he

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>got it in the six end. No, how far back?

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Give me a hint.

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:59.320
<v Speaker 1>We remember the North remembers. It was in my childhood,

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 1>for sure, your early childhood, I believe, But.

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Say the the late eighties, Eric Davis.

0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Nope, we have the answer. Look at this beefy knows beef.

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 1>He knows it's Chris Sabo. Sabo's goggles. Look at that

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 1>I would have hoping that Sabo's goggles. Oh, Ryan Ellis

0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.720
<v Speaker 1>actually got it first. So Ryan, you're the winner. You're

0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 1>the guy. So Pod apologies, I didn't Congratulations Chris Sabo.

0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:29.919
<v Speaker 1>Chrisbo's that guy. Chris Sabo was the hot thing with

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the glasses, they goggles, the whole thing. Baseball by Storm

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.959
<v Speaker 1>had a great rookie season. Reds go out there, you know,

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:39.119
<v Speaker 1>they won the World Series in the early nineties, and

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 1>then it was like disappear. I have no idea Tyler Glass. Now,

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 1>remember how we weren't worried about him, Well that was

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 1>good because he had twelve strikeouts against a terrible Kansas

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>City team one walk. He only had five innings. But

0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't carry struck out twelve guys. I'll take that

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 1>every day of the week. Three down, Ellie Dela Cruz. Sorry,

0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.360
<v Speaker 1>we gotta keep it real, Ellie. I hate talking trash

0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.119
<v Speaker 1>about you on the show. Over five three k's. At

0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 1>least go see a over five three k's and Zach

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Wheeler nine hits, eight strikeouts, but gave up five earned

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>and five and a third in what was a despicable,

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>horrible performance by the Mets. They had Robertson waiting in

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 1>the bullpen, they hit two guys with bases loaded, and

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the next thing you know, that game is over. What

0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 1>a horrible, disgusting, terrible loss by the New York Mets.

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk about it. All I want

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.960

<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I did hit my price picks on Friday. That's so

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.400
<v Speaker 2>interesting that you asked. In the crazy one I had

0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 2>of Clerk Schmidt under outs AJSS who's now optioned in

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 2>web no run first inning and BAO and Gelital strikeouts.

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 2>We did smack, so let us smack again this week.

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Today we are going with Dylan Cees outs sixteen point

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>five under, so that's five essentially five and two thirds

0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.480
<v Speaker 2>under five and two thirds up against the Angels. Ellie,

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 2>we're going with a run just point five over and

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:16.640
<v Speaker 2>Corey Seeger fantasy score eight. Those are my three plays

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty to pay one hundred on the price Picks. Let's

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:20.520
<v Speaker 2>go for two in a row.

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Great comment in the chat here from Tim Big fan

0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:26.679
<v Speaker 1>of Tim in the chat, the basketball scene and Heartbreak

0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Kid with Ben Stiller and phillipsymer Hoffman is an accurate

0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 1>depiction of Welsh's basketball playing days.

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:35.919
<v Speaker 2>You Yeah, you know what you're you're talk you're talking.

0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:39.680
<v Speaker 2>You know that that that gift of like of uh

0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:43.160
<v Speaker 2>screw around, find out you find out, you can find out.

0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean you might think it might look like a

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 2>big goofy guy, but basketball was actually my big the

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:52.480
<v Speaker 2>basketball high long range too, three pointers. Yeah, watch out out.

0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I beat you in the basketball contest, in the great

0:21:54.800 --> 0:21:56.399
<v Speaker 2>leading off shoot off?

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:58.040
<v Speaker 1>You did? You did?

0:21:58.119 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh you were about to caveat it. You were about

0:21:59.920 --> 0:22:00.879
<v Speaker 2>to caveat.

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Is saying you know I'm not caveata. Yo, you won

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:04.639
<v Speaker 1>fair and square. If we get out there and do

0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:07.640
<v Speaker 1>real sports that I would like to see, and maybe

0:22:07.720 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the first pitch we do, I will. I will again.

0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you want real sports. You're gonna be

0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 2>disappointed this big guy beat you.

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:17.439
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no. In basketball, yes, that's fine. I was never

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:19.359
<v Speaker 1>a good basketball player, even though I played. I was.

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.199
<v Speaker 1>I was a rebounder, I was a facilitator. I was

0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 1>not a great basketball player by any stretch. But baseball

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I can still hit. And I will go out there

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'll take BP live. I don't care, no big deal,

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 1>no big thing. Spencer Stryder. Nine is the number now, look,

0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I know I always go under on the big numbers,

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>but today against the Twinkies, I'm going over. This is

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:43.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a double digit day for Spencer Schrider with

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the strikeout y'all. Now telling y'all, now, I know it's

0:22:46.119 --> 0:22:47.920
<v Speaker 1>a big number. I get it. If you could find

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 1>a friendly site for the latter bed of this one,

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking we get to twelve with Spencer Schrider against

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the Twinkies today, telling you I could feel it in

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 1>my bones. Luis Castillo six and a half bitch or

0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>strikeouts over and Julio Rodriguez eight and a half Fantasy

0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 1>score over betting wise today, Sunny Gray's got a small

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:06.640
<v Speaker 1>number against the Atlanta Braves with the strikeouts. It's four

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.919
<v Speaker 1>and a half. Get the over on that one. The

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:11.800
<v Speaker 1>juice is a little higher, so you might have to

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 1>pair it with something else. Same thing with Spencer Schreider, though,

0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 1>but you're getting the nine and a half. I know

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 1>it's a huge number, I get it, but it's plus

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:21.480
<v Speaker 1>one oh six. I like it. I'm gonna go with it.

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:24.400
<v Speaker 1>And same thing staying true with Castillo. You're getting even

0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 1>money on the over on the six and a half.

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 1>K's that's where I'm looking for the betting today. Welsh,

0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.360
<v Speaker 1>You've got Verlander on your betting card. I almost thought

0:23:31.400 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 1>about that, but I just don't trust him right now.

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I have some road rash from yesterday.

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I understand it a team context, team

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 2>matchup I think works a little bit in favor for

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:47.080
<v Speaker 2>him today, and it's plus money on the strikeouts six

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:48.399
<v Speaker 2>and a half. I don't think he's hit in his

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:50.840
<v Speaker 2>last two, but it's still Verlander and it's a favorable

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:54.040
<v Speaker 2>strike up matchup, so I've got his k number. Though

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 2>strikeouts have just not been my thing this year, that

0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:58.560
<v Speaker 2>is one of them. It's kind of a light day.

0:23:59.160 --> 0:24:01.959
<v Speaker 2>I do love these two piece parlays. There's just two

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 2>little piece parlays. I got a hit parade which I love.

0:24:04.840 --> 0:24:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Ezekiel Duran and sho Heyo Tani both the register just

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:12.679
<v Speaker 2>one hit plus one seventeen. Duran has like three of

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:14.919
<v Speaker 2>last four games he's had multi hit games, so I

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 2>love that one. I'm on Otani today, so that's plus

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:20.600
<v Speaker 2>one seventeen Duran and Otani. And then a just straight

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:23.879
<v Speaker 2>money line play Seattle and Texas. Money line pays you

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.440
<v Speaker 2>one ten. So those two won't show up on the

0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 2>leading Off board, but just mark those down in your heads.

0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Those are my two probably favorite plays. If I had

0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 2>to pick one, I think I think I'd go the

0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:38.520
<v Speaker 2>money line play, then the hit, and then the strikeout,

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:40.120
<v Speaker 2>so it would be reverse order of what I said.

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 2>As far as what I love today.

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:45.200

<v Speaker 1>he's making that face right now because it's toe hurt.

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 2>You know what they call those, Joe car right there.

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.320
<v Speaker 2>That would be a team color card. It's always sexier

0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:09.719
<v Speaker 2>when the player's jersey matches the card color of rarity,

0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 2>and that is a rare version. Those are even better and.

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.879

<v Speaker 1>it's all of those things. You can also join the

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:23.160

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>got all of that for you. And we've got dfs

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:29.639
<v Speaker 1>now sliding Scaleta in the pitchers shorter slate, which is good.

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I like this. If you want to go cheap, it's

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Verlander at eight point one. It's a cookie matchup. But

0:25:34.359 --> 0:25:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I just don't trust the Mets bullpen, and I don't

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 1>trust the Mets period, so I think it's a Frankly,

0:25:39.640 --> 0:25:41.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a trap. I want the premiums today. I want

0:25:42.000 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Castillo a ten point six. I'll figure it out. I

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>want Spencer Strider at eleven point three, I'll figure it out.

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Stryder's the one I really want today against the Twins,

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm really going after them. Mets, Braves, Seattle, those are

0:25:53.760 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the places to look for offense. And Seattle's got some

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:57.720
<v Speaker 1>cheaper guys in that lineup, and so do the Braves,

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:00.680
<v Speaker 1>because the Braves have Rosario at two to nine, Arcia

0:26:00.960 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>at two eight, and Michael Harris at two nine, all

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 1>under three K. So you can just go into that

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:07.920
<v Speaker 1>stack there now. If Sunny Gray wins, Sunday Gray wins.

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:09.879
<v Speaker 1>If you want to do the OPO lineup where the

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:12.119
<v Speaker 1>Twinkies are good against Stryder and Sunny Gray gets a

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:15.840
<v Speaker 1>w that will probably cash. If things go sideways, but

0:26:15.920 --> 0:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I do think it's best Spencer Strider lineup wins today.

0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Julio is my pick for the home runs. That's where

0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm going today. I don't think we've got the home

0:26:23.600 --> 0:26:25.680
<v Speaker 1>run board today. I don't know where Ethan is with.

0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 2>That, but I think you and I both find out.

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:29.879
<v Speaker 2>You and I both hit on Friday, and then we

0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 2>didn't get a weekend one.

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:32.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's okay.

0:26:32.920 --> 0:26:34.640
<v Speaker 2>So I gotta be going for a home run call.

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Where are you going?

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do a layup. I'm gonna play show Hey.

0:26:37.840 --> 0:26:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I gotta show Hey on the hits. I'm gonna play

0:26:40.000 --> 0:26:41.600
<v Speaker 2>show Hey for the home run call. I don't know

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 2>if I've I think I played him once or twice

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:45.359
<v Speaker 2>all year, but I'm gonna play Otani today for the

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 2>home run and get rock and we need. I gotta

0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:50.439
<v Speaker 2>tell you last week, very good betting week for me.

0:26:50.720 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Horrific home run calls. I don't want the betting to stop,

0:26:54.200 --> 0:26:56.280
<v Speaker 2>but I want to pick it up just a tad

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 2>bit in the home runs. I want to get back

0:26:57.680 --> 0:26:58.679
<v Speaker 2>on that board. I miss it.

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 1>There you go, and we just gave away. I know

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 1>somebody won the MLBtv thing. We're working on getting that

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>all set up. And Razor is eleventh and so rare,

0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:10.359
<v Speaker 1>So keep going, Razor, let's go winning so rare. The

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Reds are in first place, he's at the top of

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:15.119
<v Speaker 1>the home run board. Everything's coming up Razor this year.

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you, good for you, Ramon, well done. We'll

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:19.800
<v Speaker 1>be back again tomorrow to do it all again. That'll

0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:22.439
<v Speaker 1>do it for us for now. In the meantime, the

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:24.360
<v Speaker 1>story of the game goes on for the Welsh. I'm

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Joey P. We'll see you next time. Gets bye.
