Speaker 1: We haven't even started yet. People have a lot of
Speaker 1: feelings already after the weekend's action. Look at our friend
Speaker 1: Beefy is giving me props as JOEYP was right about Bucksin'
Speaker 1: after the home runs he went oh for four and
Speaker 1: then got hurt. That's right, I told you so. But Welsh,
Speaker 1: it's good to see you. It's been a weekend. I
Speaker 1: saw the Flash yesterday. I enjoyed it. You were right,
Speaker 1: it was fun. And get this. One of my old
Speaker 1: acting students that I taught, one of my combat students,
Speaker 1: was in the movie and was very funny. He was
Speaker 1: the guy on the couch Gary with the taxiles.
Speaker 2: I saw you post that that you were like, this
Speaker 2: is my old acting buddy that was in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was one of my students about ten years ago.
Speaker 1: Always a funny guy, just hysterical and I texted him
Speaker 1: immediately after, go dude, I didn't know you were in Flash.
Speaker 1: He said, he was in a big movie coming up.
Speaker 1: I knew he had told me he wouldn't tell me
Speaker 1: what I said. Okay, cool. But here's a fun fact.
Speaker 1: He also was. You know how Ezra Miller and the
Speaker 1: Flash had to like act against himself basically for the
Speaker 1: entire movie. You know, in multiple versions of Flash, he
Speaker 1: played teenage Flash in all the scenes where he had
Speaker 1: to be the other Flash, so like as the actor.
Speaker 1: So he basically you know, had to do all of
Speaker 1: those scenes with him. So that's pretty cool. So look
Speaker 1: at that fun things. What did you do this weekend?
Speaker 2: Well that's fun? Nothing fun, Absolutely not. There's nothing fun
Speaker 2: that happened. I stared at the bait at the baseball
Speaker 2: all weekend so I could give the proper analyzes to
Speaker 2: all of you. That's all that I did. I don't
Speaker 2: do anything else except for you people.
Speaker 1: Analy Well that's nice, and we've got a lot of
Speaker 1: fun coming up too. We got the All Star break
Speaker 1: coming up, All Star Game, he'll run derby MLBFT Futures
Speaker 1: game we have.
Speaker 2: I believe it's today. You know what I'm now I'm
Speaker 2: I'm mistaking which day it is, you' seether today or tomorrow.
Speaker 2: But we got game three, the final game of the
Speaker 2: College World Series. Because you want to talk about a
Speaker 2: great game? Was Game one LSU Florida with another walk
Speaker 2: off and now boom you've got and then they blew
Speaker 2: it out. Florida blew it out in game two. You've
Speaker 2: got Game three coming up. But see the today or
Speaker 2: tomorrow LSU Florida for the College World Series. And there
Speaker 2: is a gajillion prospects, if not the top three three
Speaker 2: MLB draft prospects, in that one game. Why at Langford
Speaker 2: Paul Skeens and Drew Dylan Cruz. If you guys want
Speaker 2: to check that out of all the.
Speaker 1: Keys, is my favorite name, I like Skeens. Skeens is
Speaker 1: my guy, ske Skeens, Skeens, Keens, all Keens. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be his walk up music.
Speaker 2: All you Dylan's calls Keens Keens Keens.
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, courageous. Let's get to the headlines, welsh uh.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Angels, who had themselves a day
Speaker 1: on Saturday, scoring twenty five runs. It was a lot.
Speaker 1: Two guys went five for five. We had Hunter Renfro
Speaker 1: going five for five. We had Mickey Moniac going five
Speaker 1: for five.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, so how Taylor Ward do Mickey Moniac? How
Speaker 2: did Taylor Ward do in that game?
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I wasn't even I couldn't
Speaker 1: even tell you. But on the other side of that too.
Speaker 1: Just wanted to bring this up because you know, some
Speaker 1: people might be looking for some extra help still on
Speaker 1: the trade market. And Ezekiel Tovar, who is a player
Speaker 1: that you and I both really love coming into the season,
Speaker 1: struggled mightily early in the year. It was really picked
Speaker 1: things up recently. He has a nine game hitting streak
Speaker 1: over that span, hitting three sixty one. He has hit
Speaker 1: safely in eighteen of his last twenty games in June,
Speaker 1: so Tovar looks like he's really starting to get it.
Speaker 1: And I feel like this is an asset that I
Speaker 1: don't want to say it's been forgotten about, but I
Speaker 1: think undervalued. What are your thoughts on Tovar here for
Speaker 1: the Rockies the rest of the season, because I know
Speaker 1: the Rockies have not been great. We've trolled them quite
Speaker 1: a bit, but Tovar seems to really be putting it together.
Speaker 1: After a very impressive twenty twenty two minor league campaign.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty indifferent about having impactful fantasy pickup stuff like,
Speaker 2: so I think you might be a little bit more
Speaker 2: excited than I am. But especially when you look at
Speaker 2: like the Savant page, it's really bad hard to hit
Speaker 2: wOBA barrel percentage whiff rate, like especially like a whiff
Speaker 2: rate with all the bad barrel and hard hit. None
Speaker 2: of those go together well. But what I will tell
Speaker 2: you in agreement with you, He's improved his average three
Speaker 2: straight months while decreasing his strikeouts every single month and
Speaker 2: increasing his home run total every single month. So all
Speaker 2: three of those things work really well. Colorado's a pretty
Speaker 2: good baseline. I still think this is kind of more
Speaker 2: of a better real life player. The ground ball rate
Speaker 2: has gone down, which you love to see, while line
Speaker 2: drive is up around twenty eight percent from twenty so
Speaker 2: he's making better quality contact. Colorado's kind of a good baseline.
Speaker 2: I think this is a deeper ish league pickup. I
Speaker 2: don't think it's short league, and I think the offense
Speaker 2: is kind of muted. See like that question right there,
Speaker 2: Tovar just out of Tovar and drop Matos. I don't
Speaker 2: think I would do that. I think I would hold
Speaker 2: on to Matos after crushing his hit Merril Kelly just
Speaker 2: the other day for his first major league home run.
Speaker 2: I think they might be similar categorically, except I think
Speaker 2: Matos has a little bit more power and more contact.
Speaker 1: This is from motionok, tactical Tovar or Jeremy Pania.
Speaker 2: My gut, I haven't even looked at Jeremy Penia's numbers.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Pania, but let me take a look here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: nine homers, more stolen bases are coming from Payna. He's
Speaker 2: hitting two fifty. He's actually got they've almost got identical xba's.
Speaker 2: I would still and he needs decreases to strike up percentage.
Speaker 2: I would go with Painia on this one. I guess
Speaker 2: I'm just not as Tovar as you.
Speaker 1: Payina is the safer one, but I think Tovar is
Speaker 1: the guy that has a little bit, you know. I
Speaker 1: would say more upside uh for that. And we're getting
Speaker 1: questions again too, about all of a sudden, the audio
Speaker 1: and my mic volumes. How about now? Am I nice
Speaker 1: and loud? Now? Is that what's going on here? I
Speaker 1: don't know?
Speaker 2: Are you you sound fine to me?
Speaker 1: What do people sound fine to me?
Speaker 2: But wait, are they complaining about me? That's the question.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm most concerned.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but we've been trying to fix this.
Speaker 1: We don't know what's going on. But let's continue on
Speaker 1: with the headlines. But Kenzie gore nine strikeouts and five
Speaker 1: innings against his old club, the San Diego Padres. So
Speaker 1: that was fun. Uri Perez was also fun. He gets
Speaker 1: his fifth W. The ere's at one point thirty four,
Speaker 1: six innings, nine k's, one walk, zero earned runs. He's
Speaker 1: given up zero runs in his last twenty one innings.
Speaker 1: Somebody in the chat I forgot who it was, said
Speaker 1: something about can Uri Perez just pitch every day? I
Speaker 1: don't think he can, but I think we'd all like that,
Speaker 1: don't you think? Uh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want Euri Prez every single day. I don't
Speaker 2: want him to ever go down. He is mag he
Speaker 2: is magnificent. To watch fifty four strikeouts in there, taking
Speaker 2: a look, twenty nine point two percent hard hit percentage
Speaker 2: is expected, ERA is still low threes. I'm fascinated how
Speaker 2: this whole process is gonna go. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you just said it but they are saying that it
Speaker 2: looks like they're gonna probably do a tiny bit of
Speaker 2: a shutdown prior to the All Star break, so a
Speaker 2: little bit earlier. So I don't know if that's going
Speaker 2: to be maybe one or something like that, and then
Speaker 2: he's gonna pop back on the second half. So I
Speaker 2: think that's gonna be able to stabilize some of his
Speaker 2: fantasy value.
Speaker 1: All Right, we all find out. I mean, let's let's hope,
Speaker 1: because Perez has been absolute gold. What's in a keeper
Speaker 1: league situation, dynasty league situation. How valuable is the situation
Speaker 1: situation in the situations that we got here, How how
Speaker 1: valuable is Perez on that chart? Right now, Let's say
Speaker 1: it's a startup dynasty next year and you're looking for
Speaker 1: pitching help. What does that? I know, it's you know,
Speaker 1: kind of putting you up against it in terms.
Speaker 2: Of well, I'm pulling up my dynasty.
Speaker 1: I actually pretty high up there, right?
Speaker 2: Is he top twenty, top twenty overall or top twenty sps.
Speaker 1: Top twenty sps.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I'm taking a look at I just recently
Speaker 2: updated my Dynasty ranks. But Uri continues to go. So
Speaker 2: I had Uri on my last update at where did
Speaker 2: he go? I just saw him sixty six overall, sixty
Speaker 2: six overall of all players, and that would have put
Speaker 2: him I put him right near like Joe Ryan, because
Speaker 2: if you're thinking about age long term, I think it
Speaker 2: would have put him top fifteen, top twelve sp And
Speaker 2: I don't know I think he I think he pushes
Speaker 2: up against guys like George Kirby, Julio Urius. I mean
Speaker 2: that's the level of where we're pushing for what his
Speaker 2: production is, to where he's gonna go long term.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's continue on here. Jose Brau two for five.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not a lost season yet, picking things up
Speaker 1: a little bit this month. Still not great, But what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Lane Thomas? I want to talk
Speaker 1: Abu Laane Thomas because I gave some Dane Thomas love
Speaker 1: I do. And here's why. Two ninety six, three forty three,
Speaker 1: five oh seven, thirteen homers, thirty eight RBI and a
Speaker 1: terrible team. He's got seven steals. This was one of
Speaker 1: the players Welsh that we talked about, you know, those
Speaker 1: late round gems, and Lane Thomas was mine. In fact,
Speaker 1: I even had a video where Lane Thomas was one
Speaker 1: of those like late round sleeper guys, and I was
Speaker 1: worried when I did it, go, Man, if there's one
Speaker 1: that's going to really bite me in the rear end.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is Lane Thomas. Wanted to look
Speaker 1: back and say, Man, that really crapped out, but it
Speaker 1: is not. Lane Thomas has been terrific on a terrible club,
Speaker 1: and I think this is one of those assets we
Speaker 1: just don't appreciate right now. And I don't think anybody
Speaker 1: who's gott enim right now maybe appreciates what he's done
Speaker 1: because this is a pretty solid season. I mean you're extrapolating.
Speaker 1: You're talking about guys Gon ended up with twenty five
Speaker 1: homers and what like, you know, twelve to fifteen steals,
Speaker 1: hitting two ninety. I mean you got him where like
Speaker 1: well outside the top two hundred.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think, I I can't. It's on the
Speaker 2: tip of my tongue. There's I feel like there's a
Speaker 2: good previous comp over the last like five years of
Speaker 2: it's like a really bad team player. He's been leading
Speaker 2: off who has been at man. I mean you could
Speaker 2: argue that this is full on five tool, like, like
Speaker 2: what's the marker for a player's RBI to be a
Speaker 2: five tool because I think like five tool run usually
Speaker 2: to me it's eighties eighties up. But if you've got
Speaker 2: seventy five RBI from Laon Thomas, I think that's near there, right,
Speaker 2: Do you think that's about right?
Speaker 1: Lineup position matters and the ball cubby player matters. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're hitting in the one or two spot, your
Speaker 1: RBI total is always going to be lower automatically, and
Speaker 1: then if you're playing on a crap team that doesn't
Speaker 1: have anybody in the work.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, So like, what is the like,
Speaker 2: what is the RBI total in a situation like that?
Speaker 1: I would accept seventy five, but eighty is typically my
Speaker 1: threshold for both the runs and the RBI.
Speaker 2: So he looks like he is spacing out to be
Speaker 2: close to like one hundred runs. He's hitting their three hundred,
Speaker 2: he's going to go twenty homers ten stone basis. I
Speaker 2: think twenty ten, two, eighty, seventy five, seventy five or
Speaker 2: eighty eighty. He is the five tool baseline and he
Speaker 2: is going to borderline that. So you're right, he has
Speaker 2: totally been a nice, good cheap option. He's not exceptional
Speaker 2: in any like expected or really any stat cast type
Speaker 2: of category. He just gets it done. He's scoring runs. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's He's not a league winner, but he is definitely
Speaker 2: one of those great cheap options as available nowhere available.
Speaker 1: Wander Franco responded to his benching by hitting a home
Speaker 1: run on Saturday. So good for you, Wander. Don't take
Speaker 1: no crap off nobody. And Luisa Rise also continues to
Speaker 1: hit baseballs all over place, including a home run this
Speaker 1: weekend too, which I know Welsh loved Louise a Rise
Speaker 1: home run. I can't imagine the tweets that came her.
Speaker 1: Why I haven't.
Speaker 2: An I didn't get a single one. I didn't even
Speaker 2: know that.
Speaker 1: This is like, okay, a weekend, It's like America Tuesday.
Speaker 1: You would have gotten him. So blue Moon rookie, looky,
Speaker 1: I turned into a vampire. Jordan Westburg from the Baltimore
Speaker 1: Orioles getting called up twenty four years old, first round pick,
Speaker 1: thirtieth overall. In twenty twenty, he was slashing two ninety five,
Speaker 1: three seventy two, five sixty seven with eighteen bombs, fifty
Speaker 1: four REBI, six deals, sixty four strikeouts over that span,
Speaker 1: so a little high on the strikeout rate over three
Speaker 1: hundred plate appearances. So he can play everywhere, which is good.
Speaker 1: So the versatility that should be interesting. It looks like,
Speaker 1: you know, shortstop's kind of in his main bag. So
Speaker 1: what is your aggressiveness level on Westburg here and what
Speaker 1: do you think his contributions will be to the Orioles?
Speaker 2: Jack Nicholson giff, Yes, this is aggressive, this is pick up.
Speaker 2: I would drop Tovar for Westburg, and that might not
Speaker 2: feel popular, but I love Jordan Westburg. He's been near
Speaker 2: the tippy top of homers in the miners. His strikeout rate,
Speaker 2: regardless of what you said, a little over twenty one percent.
Speaker 2: He has had a two hundred plus ISO pretty much.
Speaker 2: Let's see, since twenty twenty two, he's had it. The
Speaker 2: two stops he didn't have it were high A in
Speaker 2: Double A in twenty twenty one, but there were one
Speaker 2: eighty and one ninety. He's hitting two ninety five this year.
Speaker 2: He's done a little bit of everything right. He can
Speaker 2: play in the middle infield, well, I kind of think
Speaker 2: he might play second base, just because I think Gunner's
Speaker 2: been doing some short they've got ramon Urius, but they
Speaker 2: might just you know, push all these guys around. Maybe
Speaker 2: Gunner is going to be you know, the full third
Speaker 2: and Jordan's going to be shortstop. But regardless of the point,
Speaker 2: this is not a crazy strikeout issue, big power shortstop
Speaker 2: who's been dominating the minor leagues. He has been the
Speaker 2: secondary to cees like we've been screaming where's Christian We're
Speaker 2: still screaming where the hell is Christian incarnation? But Jordan Westburg,
Speaker 2: to me, has been the other one. So this is
Speaker 2: a huge call up. This is huge offensive potential. And
Speaker 2: as much as like you know, like Tovar is pushing
Speaker 2: into like a positive territory, I just think Westburg is
Speaker 2: going to be a lot more RBI centric. He steals
Speaker 2: a few basses, probably nothing big at the majors, he
Speaker 2: walks a little bit. It's a great recipe. I'm a
Speaker 2: must pick up Westburg. Try to pick up Westburg in
Speaker 2: most instances.
Speaker 1: And as Welsh mentioned, and it was in the Rookie Lookie,
Speaker 1: so we'll mention it again in case you missed. At
Speaker 1: Louis Mato's two for four with a two run bomb
Speaker 1: on Saturday, Congratulations kid, first big League of Merle, first
Speaker 1: big league homer. There, injuries not too bad, jose L
Speaker 1: Twov again, something else sore heel for him. You know,
Speaker 1: two A's thirty three years old. Maybe things are starting
Speaker 1: to catch up to him. All the games, all the
Speaker 1: playoff games, you know that. I think that's something people
Speaker 1: forget to the players that have, you know, the smaller player,
Speaker 1: smaller frame. You always weren't wonder about what's that guy
Speaker 1: going to be like when he starts to get into
Speaker 1: his thirties, Especially style of play plays in the infield,
Speaker 1: second base, aggressive base runner in his career, and then
Speaker 1: all the extra games he's played in his career in
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I think the wear and tear in the
Speaker 1: mile would just starting to catch up. Without two A
Speaker 1: a little bit, I'd be very concerned with him as
Speaker 1: a long term option in keeper dynasty formats. I think
Speaker 1: you want to get out here if he can get
Speaker 1: a good run out of him and flip him here
Speaker 1: at some point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think his cost is like a bad spot
Speaker 2: right now for everything. Yeah, you might have to wait
Speaker 2: a little bit, But I'd also point out, like dude,
Speaker 2: as a forty year old, I put on sandals and
Speaker 2: I walk around in sandals. The next day, my heels hurt.
Speaker 2: My whole legs hurt, like just wearing sandals.
Speaker 1: I do. I got my compression socks on right now,
Speaker 1: Myron Buxton, I actually don't right now, but sometimes I do.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I do.
Speaker 2: What are compressions, like the like the tight like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I have like.
Speaker 1: The copper fit ones. Yeah oh there I go run
Speaker 1: or I do that stuff like afterwards, I'll put the
Speaker 1: compression socks on. I'm trying to be proactive.
Speaker 2: Do you remember when you were younger and yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Painful thing. I continue on anyway.
Speaker 2: I remember when I was like thirteen fourteen, I played
Speaker 2: a ton of like street basketball, like competitive with like
Speaker 2: older guys, and you would just see the guys that
Speaker 2: got pad pad elbow, ankle elle. You see all that stuff,
Speaker 2: and you're like, what is the deal. And then now
Speaker 2: you're at that age and you you wake up and
Speaker 2: before you do anything, you're like, all right, compression sock
Speaker 2: on here, advil over here. It takes you an hour
Speaker 2: to get set. I'm just feeling out too, vade.
Speaker 1: The compression elbow things and stuff like that. The whole thing.
Speaker 1: I'm like the terminal. I got gear up, I got
Speaker 1: my gloves, I got the elbow things. If I'm doing legs,
Speaker 1: I gotta have the knee things on the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Did you do that when you did that batting practice
Speaker 2: with pitcherless and all of them a couple of years ago?
Speaker 2: Did you have all.
Speaker 1: I'll still get up and swing the wood bat and
Speaker 1: take somebody deep right now, all right, in a major
Speaker 1: league ballpark with a wooden bat. I have one hundred
Speaker 1: percent confidence I could do that. I see, you know.
Speaker 2: First pitch is coming, and I've been thinking about trying
Speaker 2: to organize, like like a home run derby. See if
Speaker 2: I can get a team to want to assist her
Speaker 2: in the Arizona falling to a horn derby? Would that
Speaker 2: kit you out here? Would that kit you out here
Speaker 2: for first pitch?
Speaker 1: It might.
Speaker 2: The problem is the first pitch.
Speaker 1: The problem is always the same thing. It's the thick
Speaker 1: of football season that weekend. I know, I know, but
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's it's it's on the radar. It's on
Speaker 1: the radar Byron Bucks and not on the radar. He
Speaker 1: was out due to bax spasms. Shocker James Paxson was
Speaker 1: pulled from his start after four innings with a knee
Speaker 1: sort of shocker. And here would throw this out there too,
Speaker 1: because I've taken a lot of crap from Max Munsey
Speaker 1: this season, because I said Max Munsey was washed, and
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna stay true to that. I
Speaker 1: don't care any home runs he's sitting against the Giants.
Speaker 1: All right, Max Munsey, you seem like a really nice fellow.
Speaker 1: You seem like a good guy. You seem like a
Speaker 1: guy to have a beer with. I want to hang out,
Speaker 1: But I don't care about your eighteen home runs. I
Speaker 1: care the fact you're hitting one ninety one. How many
Speaker 1: times can Max Munsey get under two hundred and still
Speaker 1: be a viable major league player?
Speaker 2: Welsh?
Speaker 1: I care.
Speaker 2: I think you can do it probably every single season.
Speaker 2: And now is it a player that I want to
Speaker 2: roster fantasy? No, I'm not into that stuff. I don't
Speaker 2: like the Joey gallows and when Joey got I don't
Speaker 2: like the I don't like what Shorber was doing, but
Speaker 2: you know you were just buying back in on June Schwarber.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't like sub two hundred guys. Whatever counting stats
Speaker 2: they have, Actually think as much as Munsey has kind
Speaker 2: of shut you up in a couple points, which, by
Speaker 2: the way, every time you bear down on Max Monsey,
Speaker 2: it might be by Max Munsey right now, it might
Speaker 2: be a bye everything, because whenever you bear down, that's crazy,
Speaker 2: whenever you bear down. But like, I'm not into any
Speaker 2: of what this is going on, and it's actually been,
Speaker 2: I think, much worse than like we felt. This has
Speaker 2: been a bad season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah it is. And everyone's like, oh, look, Macmon's
Speaker 1: he turning around all the home runs and you know what,
Speaker 1: where where's he been? I haven't seen him on the
Speaker 1: show sheet except for being hurt. And I'm gonna hold
Speaker 1: that against him because you know, we're just talking about
Speaker 1: how we're old, old and hurt. But hitting one ninety
Speaker 1: one and last year hit under two hundred two, enough
Speaker 1: is enough. Three up and three down. Luis Robert two homers,
Speaker 1: three for four. Matt McClain had himself a day four
Speaker 1: for five, three doubles, a homer, five ribbies. He's the
Speaker 1: second Red's rookie to have a four plus extra base
Speaker 1: hit game. Can you name the other one? Peanuts and
Speaker 1: cracker Jack Cincinnati Red's rookie to have four extra base
Speaker 1: hits in one game. That's what I want to see.
Speaker 1: Drop your questions or answers, I should say you in
Speaker 1: the chat. You have a guess.
Speaker 2: Well, I was about to say, Ellie day La Cruz
Speaker 2: because he hit for the cycle. I think it was
Speaker 2: this week and he hit for the cycle. But I
Speaker 2: guess that was just because one as a single. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well I thought he had another at back because he
Speaker 2: got it in the six end. No, how far back?
Speaker 2: Give me a hint.
Speaker 1: We remember the North remembers. It was in my childhood,
Speaker 1: for sure, your early childhood, I believe, But.
Speaker 2: Say the the late eighties, Eric Davis.
Speaker 1: Nope, we have the answer. Look at this beefy knows beef.
Speaker 1: He knows it's Chris Sabo. Sabo's goggles. Look at that
Speaker 1: I would have hoping that Sabo's goggles. Oh, Ryan Ellis
Speaker 1: actually got it first. So Ryan, you're the winner. You're
Speaker 1: the guy. So Pod apologies, I didn't Congratulations Chris Sabo.
Speaker 1: Chrisbo's that guy. Chris Sabo was the hot thing with
Speaker 1: the glasses, they goggles, the whole thing. Baseball by Storm
Speaker 1: had a great rookie season. Reds go out there, you know,
Speaker 1: they won the World Series in the early nineties, and
Speaker 1: then it was like disappear. I have no idea Tyler Glass. Now,
Speaker 1: remember how we weren't worried about him, Well that was
Speaker 1: good because he had twelve strikeouts against a terrible Kansas
Speaker 1: City team one walk. He only had five innings. But
Speaker 1: I don't carry struck out twelve guys. I'll take that
Speaker 1: every day of the week. Three down, Ellie Dela Cruz. Sorry,
Speaker 1: we gotta keep it real, Ellie. I hate talking trash
Speaker 1: about you on the show. Over five three k's. At
Speaker 1: least go see a over five three k's and Zach
Speaker 1: Wheeler nine hits, eight strikeouts, but gave up five earned
Speaker 1: and five and a third in what was a despicable,
Speaker 1: horrible performance by the Mets. They had Robertson waiting in
Speaker 1: the bullpen, they hit two guys with bases loaded, and
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, that game is over. What
Speaker 1: a horrible, disgusting, terrible loss by the New York Mets.

Speaker 2: Oh wait, what's that? Did Welsh? Did you hit your
Speaker 2: prize picks on Friday?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: I did hit my price picks on Friday. That's so
Speaker 2: interesting that you asked. In the crazy one I had
Speaker 2: of Clerk Schmidt under outs AJSS who's now optioned in
Speaker 2: web no run first inning and BAO and Gelital strikeouts.
Speaker 2: We did smack, so let us smack again this week.
Speaker 2: Today we are going with Dylan Cees outs sixteen point
Speaker 2: five under, so that's five essentially five and two thirds
Speaker 2: under five and two thirds up against the Angels. Ellie,
Speaker 2: we're going with a run just point five over and
Speaker 2: Corey Seeger fantasy score eight. Those are my three plays
Speaker 2: twenty to pay one hundred on the price Picks. Let's
Speaker 2: go for two in a row.
Speaker 1: Great comment in the chat here from Tim Big fan
Speaker 1: of Tim in the chat, the basketball scene and Heartbreak
Speaker 1: Kid with Ben Stiller and phillipsymer Hoffman is an accurate
Speaker 1: depiction of Welsh's basketball playing days.
Speaker 2: You Yeah, you know what you're you're talk you're talking.
Speaker 2: You know that that that gift of like of uh
Speaker 2: screw around, find out you find out, you can find out.
Speaker 2: I mean you might think it might look like a
Speaker 2: big goofy guy, but basketball was actually my big the
Speaker 2: basketball high long range too, three pointers. Yeah, watch out out.
Speaker 2: I beat you in the basketball contest, in the great
Speaker 2: leading off shoot off?
Speaker 1: You did? You did?
Speaker 2: Oh you were about to caveat it. You were about
Speaker 2: to caveat.
Speaker 1: Is saying you know I'm not caveata. Yo, you won
Speaker 1: fair and square. If we get out there and do
Speaker 1: real sports that I would like to see, and maybe
Speaker 1: the first pitch we do, I will. I will again.
Speaker 2: I don't think you want real sports. You're gonna be
Speaker 2: disappointed this big guy beat you.
Speaker 1: No, no, no. In basketball, yes, that's fine. I was never
Speaker 1: a good basketball player, even though I played. I was.
Speaker 1: I was a rebounder, I was a facilitator. I was
Speaker 1: not a great basketball player by any stretch. But baseball
Speaker 1: I can still hit. And I will go out there
Speaker 1: and I'll take BP live. I don't care, no big deal,
Speaker 1: no big thing. Spencer Stryder. Nine is the number now, look,
Speaker 1: I know I always go under on the big numbers,
Speaker 1: but today against the Twinkies, I'm going over. This is
Speaker 1: gonna be a double digit day for Spencer Schrider with
Speaker 1: the strikeout y'all. Now telling y'all, now, I know it's
Speaker 1: a big number. I get it. If you could find
Speaker 1: a friendly site for the latter bed of this one,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking we get to twelve with Spencer Schrider against
Speaker 1: the Twinkies today, telling you I could feel it in
Speaker 1: my bones. Luis Castillo six and a half bitch or
Speaker 1: strikeouts over and Julio Rodriguez eight and a half Fantasy
Speaker 1: score over betting wise today, Sunny Gray's got a small
Speaker 1: number against the Atlanta Braves with the strikeouts. It's four
Speaker 1: and a half. Get the over on that one. The
Speaker 1: juice is a little higher, so you might have to
Speaker 1: pair it with something else. Same thing with Spencer Schreider, though,
Speaker 1: but you're getting the nine and a half. I know
Speaker 1: it's a huge number, I get it, but it's plus
Speaker 1: one oh six. I like it. I'm gonna go with it.
Speaker 1: And same thing staying true with Castillo. You're getting even
Speaker 1: money on the over on the six and a half.
Speaker 1: K's that's where I'm looking for the betting today. Welsh,
Speaker 1: You've got Verlander on your betting card. I almost thought
Speaker 1: about that, but I just don't trust him right now.
Speaker 1: Maybe I have some road rash from yesterday.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I understand it a team context, team
Speaker 2: matchup I think works a little bit in favor for
Speaker 2: him today, and it's plus money on the strikeouts six
Speaker 2: and a half. I don't think he's hit in his
Speaker 2: last two, but it's still Verlander and it's a favorable
Speaker 2: strike up matchup, so I've got his k number. Though
Speaker 2: strikeouts have just not been my thing this year, that
Speaker 2: is one of them. It's kind of a light day.
Speaker 2: I do love these two piece parlays. There's just two
Speaker 2: little piece parlays. I got a hit parade which I love.
Speaker 2: Ezekiel Duran and sho Heyo Tani both the register just
Speaker 2: one hit plus one seventeen. Duran has like three of
Speaker 2: last four games he's had multi hit games, so I
Speaker 2: love that one. I'm on Otani today, so that's plus
Speaker 2: one seventeen Duran and Otani. And then a just straight
Speaker 2: money line play Seattle and Texas. Money line pays you
Speaker 2: one ten. So those two won't show up on the
Speaker 2: leading Off board, but just mark those down in your heads.
Speaker 2: Those are my two probably favorite plays. If I had
Speaker 2: to pick one, I think I think I'd go the
Speaker 2: money line play, then the hit, and then the strikeout,
Speaker 2: so it would be reverse order of what I said.
Speaker 2: As far as what I love today.
Speaker 1: Okay, I love so rare every day Fantasypros dot Com
Speaker 1: slash collect All you have to do is sign up.
Speaker 1: It's free, it's card's fantasy. You make your team, you
Speaker 1: manage your players. We'll got that sho hel Tani card.
Speaker 1: Look how sexy that is. Aaron Judge right behind him,
Speaker 1: he's making that face right now because it's toe hurt.
Speaker 2: You know what they call those, Joe car right there.
Speaker 2: That would be a team color card. It's always sexier
Speaker 2: when the player's jersey matches the card color of rarity,
Speaker 2: and that is a rare version. Those are even better and.
Speaker 1: You get the gold. Aaron Judge back there too, So again,
Speaker 1: go play so rare. Check it out. It's fun, it's card,
Speaker 1: it's all of those things. You can also join the
Speaker 1: league Fantasy Bros dot Com slash Leading Off League. We've
Speaker 1: got all of that for you. And we've got dfs
Speaker 1: now sliding Scaleta in the pitchers shorter slate, which is good.
Speaker 1: I like this. If you want to go cheap, it's
Speaker 1: Verlander at eight point one. It's a cookie matchup. But
Speaker 1: I just don't trust the Mets bullpen, and I don't
Speaker 1: trust the Mets period, so I think it's a Frankly,
Speaker 1: it's a trap. I want the premiums today. I want
Speaker 1: Castillo a ten point six. I'll figure it out. I
Speaker 1: want Spencer Strider at eleven point three, I'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: Stryder's the one I really want today against the Twins,
Speaker 1: I'm really going after them. Mets, Braves, Seattle, those are
Speaker 1: the places to look for offense. And Seattle's got some
Speaker 1: cheaper guys in that lineup, and so do the Braves,
Speaker 1: because the Braves have Rosario at two to nine, Arcia
Speaker 1: at two eight, and Michael Harris at two nine, all
Speaker 1: under three K. So you can just go into that
Speaker 1: stack there now. If Sunny Gray wins, Sunday Gray wins.
Speaker 1: If you want to do the OPO lineup where the
Speaker 1: Twinkies are good against Stryder and Sunny Gray gets a
Speaker 1: w that will probably cash. If things go sideways, but
Speaker 1: I do think it's best Spencer Strider lineup wins today.
Speaker 1: Julio is my pick for the home runs. That's where
Speaker 1: I'm going today. I don't think we've got the home
Speaker 1: run board today. I don't know where Ethan is with.
Speaker 2: That, but I think you and I both find out.
Speaker 2: You and I both hit on Friday, and then we
Speaker 2: didn't get a weekend one.
Speaker 1: So that's okay.
Speaker 2: So I gotta be going for a home run call.
Speaker 1: Where are you going?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do a layup. I'm gonna play show Hey.
Speaker 2: I gotta show Hey on the hits. I'm gonna play
Speaker 2: show Hey for the home run call. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I've I think I played him once or twice
Speaker 2: all year, but I'm gonna play Otani today for the
Speaker 2: home run and get rock and we need. I gotta
Speaker 2: tell you last week, very good betting week for me.
Speaker 2: Horrific home run calls. I don't want the betting to stop,
Speaker 2: but I want to pick it up just a tad
Speaker 2: bit in the home runs. I want to get back
Speaker 2: on that board. I miss it.
Speaker 1: There you go, and we just gave away. I know
Speaker 1: somebody won the MLBtv thing. We're working on getting that
Speaker 1: all set up. And Razor is eleventh and so rare,
Speaker 1: So keep going, Razor, let's go winning so rare. The
Speaker 1: Reds are in first place, he's at the top of
Speaker 1: the home run board. Everything's coming up Razor this year.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, good for you, Ramon, well done. We'll
Speaker 1: be back again tomorrow to do it all again. That'll
Speaker 1: do it for us for now. In the meantime, the
Speaker 1: story of the game goes on for the Welsh. I'm
Speaker 1: Joey P. We'll see you next time. Gets bye.
