Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you by Bet three six five
Speaker 1: Bet one hundred and fifty. Don't know how much do
Speaker 1: you eat the five bucks? Five bucks you get one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty components Batti billion dollars one million. Hell,
Speaker 1: you're off to such a good start for the first
Speaker 1: three words of this show. Anyway, bet five bucks win
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty when you use the promo code
Speaker 1: leading off at Bet three six five, it's me Joey
Speaker 1: p That of course is the Welsh and it's you
Speaker 1: the Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks Welsh. I'm so happy. I
Speaker 1: think that's what's overcome me because all of the work
Speaker 1: in the bathrooms has finally done today Today is it.
Speaker 1: There's a shower and a toilet upstairs and running water.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy. It's just it's the small things in life.
Speaker 1: But you know, when you go a month without those
Speaker 1: things upstairs, it's a lot. And I think that's why
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just overjoyed at all of it. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day.
Speaker 2: Also, there was a there was a short period of
Speaker 2: time where I wasn't gonna be on today's night either.
Speaker 2: But I am here today, and because Welsh made a booboo,
Speaker 2: the MLB Draft Combine is here in Phoenix, going on
Speaker 2: in about thirty minutes. It's gonna be broadcast. It was
Speaker 2: fully open and everything last year, so your boy Welsh
Speaker 2: thought nothing of it, didn't think to do anything. But
Speaker 2: it's closed to the public this year. And I didn't
Speaker 2: go to my media pass.
Speaker 1: Because Major League Baseball other things going on, like what,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: They got to hide. They gotta really protect pitching ninja.
Speaker 2: I think that's there, so the millions of hordes of
Speaker 2: fans don't get to hit. I don't know what the
Speaker 2: deal is, but I forgot to do the media thing.
Speaker 2: So then I just said, all right, we're not going
Speaker 2: to try to go down that route, but that is happening.
Speaker 2: If no, it's been open for years where you could
Speaker 2: go and do the whole thing. So I just thought
Speaker 2: nothing of it because I wasn't going to try to
Speaker 2: go on field or anything that. But a friend of
Speaker 2: the show, Lance Brasdowski, is here doing some of that.
Speaker 2: Some of the industry people are there tons a prospect,
Speaker 2: but you can still watch it if you would like.
Speaker 2: To watch. But I was going to be there. I
Speaker 2: was gonna go down and I was gonna say, screw
Speaker 2: the show, and you guys fin for yourselves, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to hang with the draft prospects. But now I
Speaker 2: got hang with where we're betting a million.
Speaker 1: Dollars, betting a million dollars getting a million dollars back.
Speaker 1: That's actually not it. It's five.
Speaker 2: I should have done that yesterday. By the way, three.
Speaker 1: Yeah about me and three horrendous pauses can go screw.
Speaker 1: But it's okay. You know what WHI Welsh? Because as
Speaker 1: Evil Zillis is, you gotta believe Joe the Mets are
Speaker 1: for real woo. I don't know if they're for real
Speaker 1: or not Welsh, but I do know this that there's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a happy meal right now when
Speaker 1: it looks to the Mets, because ever since Grimace throughout
Speaker 1: the first pitch, the Mets are now six and oh.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you saw. I don't know
Speaker 1: if he came up with it, but it's who I saw.
Speaker 1: Say this. Did you see Devin Sawa the actors, tweet
Speaker 1: about this. He's a big sports guy. Did you see
Speaker 1: his tweet about the.
Speaker 2: The I don't even know who that is.
Speaker 1: He was the kid in The Little Giants who played
Speaker 1: the quarterback. He is an actor.
Speaker 2: He was in a lot of movies, A famous Little Giants.
Speaker 1: Giants one of the great movies ever made. But he
Speaker 1: made a hilarious comment, I can't say it. Just go
Speaker 1: find it. Say it. No, I can't. I can't say it.
Speaker 1: Say it. I can't say it. But it's very fun,
Speaker 1: wasn't Rick? Yeah, Ried O'Neil, it's a classic. My kids
Speaker 1: love the.
Speaker 2: Only Okay, you know what?
Speaker 1: That's it?
Speaker 2: Though, I couldn't name you any kid, But I'm not
Speaker 2: one of those people everyone's like, oh, what's the Oh God,
Speaker 2: everyone's gonna go kill me for this. But what's the baseball? One?
Speaker 1: That ever?
Speaker 2: Sandlot, Peppercorn, the Sale? Everybody? I'm sorry, everybody like the
Speaker 2: characters in this, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You never watched their name? I don't. It's wrong with you.
Speaker 2: No, you know, I watched a Sandlot. But everyone like obsesses.
Speaker 2: You could probably rattle off the actors that play I can't.
Speaker 1: None of those kids became famous actors. You know. The
Speaker 1: Little Giants quarterback, Yeah, I remember, Well, he was in
Speaker 1: other movies. In the nineties too. I think he was
Speaker 1: in one of those. I got a look. He was
Speaker 1: in a bunch of movies in the nineties too. It
Speaker 1: was kind of like mid range famous in that like
Speaker 1: weird mid and late nineties teeny bopper movie scene and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So and I was in high school
Speaker 1: around that time, so I remember these things anyway.
Speaker 2: Very important. Can you put Grimace back?
Speaker 1: But six? And oh Welsh six and oh for Grimace?
Speaker 1: And a great night from Brandon Nimmo, a great night
Speaker 1: from Lindor who Lindor was our main guy today? So
Speaker 1: look at this. So I guess the question is is
Speaker 1: the Hambler hamburglar next? Like, who is the next guy
Speaker 1: to throw out the first pitch so the Mets can
Speaker 1: keep the winning streak?
Speaker 2: Ooh, yeah, it needs to be someone that like the
Speaker 2: hamblerger would probably make sense, like the Astros, someone that steals,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, A good mascot for Yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe something like that. I mean I saw somebody say
Speaker 2: that they quote tweeted a picture Grimace and said, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell my kids that this is Bartolo cologne.
Speaker 1: So I like that. People think that you're not the
Speaker 1: right age that you say you are, But James O.
Speaker 1: Jones is in the sand Blot. That's an actor of note,
Speaker 1: you know, just saying.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have known that. Yeah, how do you not? Like?
Speaker 1: All right? I'm just gonna move on.
Speaker 2: I mean, I saw it. I saw it, But I'm
Speaker 2: not one of the.
Speaker 1: Great baseball movies ever like this. And you've got little
Speaker 1: kids like my kids are, We're obsessed with that movie.
Speaker 1: It's one of them. It's both of their one of
Speaker 1: their favorite top ten movies of all time. And they
Speaker 1: don't even like baseball. I can't guess tom watch a
Speaker 1: baseball game, forget it. No way, Garrett Cole, He's gonna
Speaker 1: be playing in a baseball game come Wednesday against the Orioles.
Speaker 1: Oh are you excited? Welsh? Because I'm pretty sure we
Speaker 1: set your clock? When's when's Wednesday? Is it tomorrow? Welsh?
Speaker 2: Tomorrow?
Speaker 1: What was Garrett Cole day? How do you feel about this?
Speaker 1: Do you have all the feels?
Speaker 2: I'm very excited. I just updated my ranks over on
Speaker 2: the Fantasy Pros and I put Cole but I'm top
Speaker 2: ten sp rest of season for my rest of season ranks.
Speaker 2: I threw him right back into the fray, not trading them,
Speaker 2: just holding on, riding away, very excited about it.
Speaker 1: While you're talking, I'm gonna order my costume on Amazon.
Speaker 1: Let me just I hope you know what.
Speaker 2: I hope you did. God, I've never never I don't
Speaker 2: need to be right about a lot of stuff like
Speaker 2: well joke will be like, hey we were right and
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and everyone wants validation. I need to
Speaker 2: be right pretty cheap like. I need this over Joe.
Speaker 2: It's the it's the one thing I've never exciting. I
Speaker 2: could lose my I could lose my incredibly smart ellie.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lead the league in solo base bet that
Speaker 2: I said preseason. If any of you listen, I could
Speaker 2: lose that. Cor Big Carrol, he could be out for
Speaker 2: the season. I could lose that. I need this against Joe.
Speaker 2: I need to be right and Joe needs to be
Speaker 2: wrong on this more than anything.
Speaker 1: The funny part is, though it's not gonna be one star,
Speaker 1: like I said, it's gonna be a couple here and
Speaker 1: at some point in time we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 1: Like I'm tomorrow, We'll have to stay tuned to the
Speaker 1: betting and see what happens, Elie de la Cruz. Great
Speaker 1: day still is thirty seventh base Welsh thirty seventh stolen
Speaker 1: bases already for Ellie to La Cruz. How amazing? Pretty good,
Speaker 1: pretty deep, pretty good, pretty goods At least I got
Speaker 1: seven guys. It was not enough. I went all in there. Man.
Speaker 1: I feel like every time I'm in on Skeens, he
Speaker 1: like kind of shives me in the back. And then
Speaker 1: every time I'm like, Nope, you're gonna just stay away
Speaker 1: from Skeens and not take the temptation. Is when he
Speaker 1: like strikes out twelve guys. What? OK?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I actually liked the under I know you did.
Speaker 2: The strikeouts were kind of worrying, worrying me and everything
Speaker 2: like that, but I forgot that was your bet, was
Speaker 2: the strikeouts. Because Pittsburgh ended up pulling out the win.
Speaker 2: They were part of my money line parlay as well.
Speaker 2: But you know, both of those pictures we talked about
Speaker 2: Jared Jones cooling down. Jared Jones is cooling down a
Speaker 2: pretty aggressive degree. I'm not saying that Skeens will because
Speaker 2: he's done just such a good job of manipulating where
Speaker 2: they're going. It's a heavy fastball game. It's a heavy
Speaker 2: splinker game. I think that splinker pitch that's the new thing.
Speaker 2: Next year is going to be.
Speaker 1: This.
Speaker 2: I like, oh, we need a picture to do that.
Speaker 2: But like you know, every year there's some new thing
Speaker 2: that's added, Like that's the new one. I think Paul
Speaker 2: Skeens is gonna continuously be good. I think him and
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones could go in opposite trajectory. But yeah, you're
Speaker 2: gonna get smacked around. I mean still like you're acting
Speaker 2: like he got blown up right a bad start.
Speaker 1: He's still struck up the winner of the chat today,
Speaker 1: and I know we just started the show with Jeffrey
Speaker 1: to go. Devin Sala was also Stan in the eminem video,
Speaker 1: the famous video of Stan.
Speaker 2: So you are familiar that kid, but that kid was
Speaker 2: the one in the what's the movie with the logs
Speaker 2: that fell Final Destination or something?
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, a lot of those, Kate.
Speaker 2: He's like, a that's a better.
Speaker 1: Movie then Little Giants. Absolutely not absolutely, Now the ice
Speaker 1: box would disagree with you put into the chat right now.
Speaker 2: We need a poll for that.
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know how to make the polls up.
Speaker 1: Can Walkee? Penguin do it or Meg Maher's not here,
Speaker 1: God forbid mayors here. I don't know how they pull it,
Speaker 1: but like we need that made anyway. Austin Riley signs
Speaker 1: of Life two for three, two doubles. That's good. Had
Speaker 1: a home run over the weekend. That's very good. Maybe finally,
Speaker 1: Austin Riley is a guy we could buy him. Kyle
Speaker 1: Schwarber hit a pair of home runs. Yes he ed
Speaker 1: Swarburn the home contest was a good day for you.
Speaker 1: Some fun things though, Welsh too. From yesterday. Freddie Freeman
Speaker 1: singled and walked five times. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: looked at the show shee, because I know you. Sometimes
Speaker 1: you gloss over and tell them do you remember the
Speaker 1: last guy to walk five times in a game? I'll
Speaker 1: give you a hint. It's a third basement, okay, and
Speaker 1: a guy that you would never think would walk twice
Speaker 1: in a game, but he walked five guys. Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: he's still get in twenty twenty one. The last guy
Speaker 1: to do it, he's bounced around. No, not many machado,
Speaker 1: not many machado. He played for the Oakland A's at
Speaker 1: one point.
Speaker 2: Josh Donaldson, Oh, he doesn't help playing match.
Speaker 1: Matt Chapman is correct. Here's the funniest part. The last
Speaker 1: guy to do it, to walk five times and get
Speaker 1: a hit was rugnet o'door in twenty eighteen. Another guy
Speaker 1: you would never imagine not only walking five times in
Speaker 1: the game but also getting a hit in the same game. Bizarre.
Speaker 1: If that's not the weirdest base what.
Speaker 2: Is that's so many at bats? I know that that's absurd.
Speaker 2: What's our poll again? I think I can put it up.
Speaker 1: What's a better movie? Little Giants or Final Destination? Like
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a ninety to ten with this crowd,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be an If you don't like Little Giants,
Speaker 1: get out of my chat. By the way, Andrew Skinner,
Speaker 1: first time. It looks like in the chat FP subscriber
Speaker 1: first time poster. Good on you, Andrew, Welcome aboard, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show. Also fun Reese Olsen, who had not
Speaker 1: been very good lately. He had given up seventeen earned
Speaker 1: runs over his last three starts. His era is ten.
Speaker 1: He threw six shout out of innings yesterday and a
Speaker 1: no deicision against Atlanta against the Braves, So again, baseball's weird.
Speaker 1: Those are two of the weirder things, and they both
Speaker 1: happen on the same night and he comments about Sulsen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well, ree Sulsen, like he's had this
Speaker 2: really like solid underlying season with a bad stretch expected
Speaker 2: era right like where his actual ERA is around three
Speaker 2: and a half. He has given up not a lot
Speaker 2: of hard contact. It's actually in the lower half as
Speaker 2: far as far as Berlin goes. The hard contacts actually
Speaker 2: a little bit harder. But he's had a huge wiff
Speaker 2: rate forty plus percent on his slider and changeup, which
Speaker 2: he throws a combined I'm fifty percent of the time.
Speaker 2: So actually kind of solid season that's fallen apart. But
Speaker 2: he to me falls along the line of the lines
Speaker 2: of like like a streamer in ten maybe twelves where
Speaker 2: you got it. If you have to make a decision,
Speaker 2: you can move off of him and you can go
Speaker 2: into another spot. But I think Reeve Sulsen can actually maintain,
Speaker 2: like back into the rotation for the rest of it.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: It's funny because Olson was a guy that was on
Speaker 1: the wave Wire video about a month ago, and I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, look, you know we pick him up.
Speaker 1: You see how you know how far you can ride this?
Speaker 1: And then obviously he came crashing down for a couple
Speaker 1: of starts, and I'm sure he was one of the
Speaker 1: most drop players in last week. And then he goes
Speaker 1: out there six shut I things against the Braves. I
Speaker 1: mean this bizarre rookie lookie a lot of rookie stuff
Speaker 1: to get to. Today, the Yankees selected the contract of
Speaker 1: Ben Rice infield nerves slash catcher. Uh, he's me playing
Speaker 1: this week because Rizzo goes on the IL. Now. Rice
Speaker 1: is a guy that I saw play in person, and
Speaker 1: you recall Welsh when I was texting you from the
Speaker 1: game at Double A in Somerset, Jones was very impressive.
Speaker 1: I kind of went there, you know, hang out for
Speaker 1: the night, see what Spencer Jones was all about. But
Speaker 1: Rice was the guy that really stood out to me.
Speaker 1: And they ended up scoring like fourteen runs in that
Speaker 1: game too. He's twenty five, so a little older for
Speaker 1: a prospect, right, but yeah, a nine to twenty five ops,
Speaker 1: fifteen homers and nine steals since he's was at Double
Speaker 1: A and then he moved up so far three thirty
Speaker 1: three batting average four forty six nineteen with three Homers
Speaker 1: is getting moved up. So is Rice a guy that
Speaker 1: you think might be able to get up to this
Speaker 1: major league level get a little playing time, or do
Speaker 1: you think this is just a bench depth kind of
Speaker 1: thing and you don't even waste fab on him, Like
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be le Maye at first paced.
Speaker 1: Are they gonna like play that.
Speaker 2: Or play every single day?
Speaker 1: I don't get stick. Does he even get a look
Speaker 1: or is this literally just a roster because people will
Speaker 1: see this, They'll see those numbers and they'll say, oh,
Speaker 1: Ben Rice, look at this guy. Now he is a
Speaker 1: little older too, so twenty five. You don't know how
Speaker 1: you take those numbers necessarily. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: Rizzo's been so bad. Is it in the Yankees' interest
Speaker 1: to get this guy someatt bats take a look at him,
Speaker 1: want to showcase him for a trade potentially because the
Speaker 1: Yankees are, you know, in the front of the pack
Speaker 1: there and they're going to want to acquire more things.
Speaker 1: And Rizzo's been so bad. So I guess this is
Speaker 1: more intriguing than I think some of the other guys
Speaker 1: that get called up, because there's an opportunity here where
Speaker 1: it makes sense to play Ben Rice maybe, But do
Speaker 1: you think that's what the Yankees do?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I kinda like. I here's what I do think.
Speaker 2: I think putting a guy like Ben Rice on the
Speaker 2: bench for too long it is not advantageous to his development. So, like,
Speaker 2: you don't want to bring up these guys to not
Speaker 2: play them whatsoever. LeMay Hugh's interesting. I don't think they
Speaker 2: want to overdo LeMay Hugh. So I think, like you
Speaker 2: could see Ben Rice maybe twice a week at first base.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's also a catcher, so they might be able
Speaker 2: to sling him in there. I think there's the opportunity
Speaker 2: that he could get regular playing time. His bat is live,
Speaker 2: he's got that two position eligibility that they could throw
Speaker 2: him around in that lineup. But I also think it
Speaker 2: would make a lot of sense that this could be
Speaker 2: somebody that they're gonna end up moving. I mean, you've
Speaker 2: got that. I think they're very comfortable with Austin Wells
Speaker 2: and Trevino. Ben Rice would probably be somebody that any
Speaker 2: team would look at. They've also got Augustin Ramirez is
Speaker 2: one of my favorite prospects this year. He's in Double A,
Speaker 2: he's not coming up. He's a catcher, but he's more
Speaker 2: of a first baseman. So I actually do think a
Speaker 2: guy like ben Rice this could be a showcase for
Speaker 2: a future trade if this team decides to take me.
Speaker 2: I'm probably not being aggressive about ben Rice and picking
Speaker 2: him up because of Lemayhew, because Lomayhew getting that plenty
Speaker 2: of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, I don't know. They say those are gonna
Speaker 1: playm against rities, but again, I'll believe it when I
Speaker 1: see it. You know, we got a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: about how they're gonna play hessen Kierstadt at Baltimore. That
Speaker 1: didn't work out either. Helio Ramos two five with a
Speaker 1: so homer. He is up to three twenty eight with
Speaker 1: a ninet eighty one ops. Welsh thoughts on Ramos and
Speaker 1: what he's done so far this year with San Fran.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you guys remember I talked about him during
Speaker 2: the spring because I got to see him playing a
Speaker 2: little bit of the minor league spring training games. And
Speaker 2: Helio Ramos, he's gotten you guys can see it. He
Speaker 2: has just gotten so physically big. I remember being at
Speaker 2: his professional debut in Complex League years and years and
Speaker 2: years ago, and he is filled out. We saw the
Speaker 2: huge power, but It's so funny because it's like him
Speaker 2: and Nick Gonzalez are these super post hype sleeper guys
Speaker 2: that were like they never added up to any of
Speaker 2: their talent. All of a sudden, they're just popping, and
Speaker 2: he's doing it in a huge way. Fifty eight percent
Speaker 2: hard hit rate right now, it's one of the best
Speaker 2: in the league. That he is pairing well, of course,
Speaker 2: an eighteen percent barrel rate. Those two beautiful marriage. Expected
Speaker 2: batting average in the two eighties. It's about forty points
Speaker 2: lower than it currently is, but that's fine. Double digit
Speaker 2: walk rate, under thirty percent k rate, and the guy
Speaker 2: is absolutely destroying fastballs, hitting three sixty two against fastballs,
Speaker 2: and guess what when the league adjusts, which they will
Speaker 2: because he's seeing sixty percent fastballs, he'shitting two ninety eight
Speaker 2: against breaking pitches and two eighty six against off speed pitches.
Speaker 2: Those are some absurd numbers. Hard hit rate and good
Speaker 2: barrel rates. They're a perfect marriage for results, good things
Speaker 2: to happen. It is for Ramos and I think Rama.
Speaker 2: I think Ramos and Nick Gonzalez are two guys that
Speaker 2: are gonna end up being like pseudo top one hundred,
Speaker 2: maybe one hundred and fifty guys by the end of
Speaker 2: the year that we're all gonna be shocked about. So
Speaker 2: you got you, you should try to get helly O
Speaker 2: Ramos now.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean I can't disagree with any of that.
Speaker 1: Ramos is more surprising to me than Gonzales. I don't
Speaker 1: know how you because you kind of looped them in there.
Speaker 2: So Ramos, yeah, yeah, I know, I guess I would
Speaker 2: Gonzales to me.
Speaker 1: I always felt like Gonzales would figure it out because
Speaker 1: in college she was such a contact titter kind of guy.
Speaker 1: Like I figured, like, you give those guys time, they'll
Speaker 1: figure it out. But Ramos was the one that I
Speaker 1: installed out. I thought, man, maybe it's just never going
Speaker 1: to happen, you know.
Speaker 2: Steven actually, and I don't disagree with that. The only
Speaker 2: thing that happened with Nick Nonzalez was like he got
Speaker 2: really really bad in the upper zone, which some guys
Speaker 2: just don't recover from, and then he couldn't do anything.
Speaker 2: But then he did. But bat speed is on display.
Speaker 2: He can run. Steven said something interesting which I was
Speaker 2: just thinking about. He said he picked up Ramos when
Speaker 2: Michael Harris went down and I was talking about this
Speaker 2: on ITL yesterday in that a guy like Michael Harris, specifically,
Speaker 2: he's going to be out for a while, it might
Speaker 2: be like two months. His season has been as such
Speaker 2: that I don't think he's performed at a level where
Speaker 2: where the eel is insane right now what we're dealing
Speaker 2: with that I'm comfortable cutting him in especially a ten
Speaker 2: team league, maybe shorter twelve team leagues if someone's like, hey, listen,
Speaker 2: my il's full. A guy like Ramos is out there,
Speaker 2: But I'd have to cut someone I'm not against if
Speaker 2: you had to do it. It's been an okay season
Speaker 2: for Harris. But like guys like Ramos and guys like
Speaker 2: Nick Gonzalez, if you were out this big blow Gonzalez,
Speaker 2: if you lost Mookie Betts is a is A the
Speaker 2: best pick up possibly have? If Harris best pickup you
Speaker 2: possibly have. And I think Harris is the type of
Speaker 2: guy if you had to make a tough decision, maybe
Speaker 2: you could if you were picking up a Ramos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I remember in the preseason we had
Speaker 1: a lot of debates you and I about Michael Harris,
Speaker 1: and I liked Michael Harris as a player. Michael Harris,
Speaker 1: as I thought you did. You loved him and I
Speaker 1: liked him, and I think you had to love him
Speaker 1: for the ADP he was going at, which is why
Speaker 1: I had zero shares. But now I am on the
Speaker 1: complete other side, Like now I think he's one of
Speaker 1: the best Bilows there is because I don't believe in
Speaker 1: kell Nick. I give this guy a little time off
Speaker 1: on the IL have a.
Speaker 2: Little bit of time off on the that's the problem.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like you can have him for nothing now,
Speaker 1: and if I'm looking ahead to what August, September and
Speaker 1: of July, Michael Harris could be a really useful player.
Speaker 1: He's got pop, he's got speed, he's got all the things,
Speaker 1: like he has a clear playing time path. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna get squad. He's for playing time when he comes
Speaker 1: back by any of those guys like he's the guy there.
Speaker 1: So to me, this is one of the best by
Speaker 1: Lows out there. And he wasn't on the the by
Speaker 1: Low yesterday. But you can go check that out on
Speaker 1: the channel too if you miss it yesterday Welsh did
Speaker 1: they buy Low Sell Hi? You can watch the leading
Speaker 1: off or just you know, go see that standalone section
Speaker 1: because it's up here on the YouTube channel right now.
Speaker 1: But to me, Michael Harris another one guy like people
Speaker 1: just want to give him away because they're so frustrated.
Speaker 1: They're dying for help outfield help. He hasn't helped them
Speaker 1: all year, and now he's hurt. It's the perfect time.
Speaker 1: Here's another one too from Knuckin' Should I drop Gorman
Speaker 1: for Noelve Marte and ahead of the curve? Yes a
Speaker 1: thousand times? Yes for me Welsh, yes or no for you?
Speaker 1: Drop Gorman for mart I.
Speaker 2: Don't know if I'm a thousand.
Speaker 1: He's hitting under two hundred this month. He's terrible.
Speaker 2: No, I know he got to it. I'm down. I'm
Speaker 2: fine with this. Someone asked me yesterday too the rest
Speaker 2: of season, who would you rather be invested in, Jason
Speaker 2: Dominguez or Noel Vi Marte?
Speaker 1: And I said, you know what the guy's playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, based on Dominga is going back fun and
Speaker 2: il and how the Yankees are treating him, I think
Speaker 2: it might be no Weelvie at this point. I just
Speaker 2: don't know how aggressive of anything that's gonna happen in
Speaker 2: Demingez if it were more than this year long term
Speaker 2: hands down Demingez, but I'd go to Welvy in that front.
Speaker 1: A couple other things here. National has promoted Dylan Cruz
Speaker 1: from Double A to Triple A, and then it looks
Speaker 1: like James Wood is close to returning from the hamshring injury,
Speaker 1: so that's a good thing. The A's are recalling Lawrence
Speaker 1: Butler from Triple A, but Butler really hasn't done too
Speaker 1: much since getting demoted. A got rid of JD. Davis
Speaker 1: I saw today. Turns out he's not special after all.
Speaker 1: If you're an OG leading off fan, you get that reference,
Speaker 1: You're welcome. JD. Davis not special. Wonkey loves it. I
Speaker 1: guarantee you. Wonkee sitting at home right now and loves
Speaker 1: that right now. Yeah, death Texas and me hating. I
Speaker 1: don't hate Nolan Gorman. I just I refuse to understand.
Speaker 1: I can't wrap my mind around how people don't see
Speaker 1: him for what he is and then constantly can only
Speaker 1: see that two hot streaks that he has a year
Speaker 1: and thinks that's great. Like he's not great. He's a
Speaker 1: guy who strikes out too much, doesn't make enough. He's
Speaker 1: Joey Gallo at second base. That's it. That's it, and
Speaker 1: he left for Lawrence Butler before we move on. Ya. Nope, okay,
Speaker 1: very good, some good from yesterday. Obviously, Paul Skeens was good,
Speaker 1: regardless of the fact he disappointed me. Francisco Lindor four
Speaker 1: for four, three runs complete, Grimace Brandon Neimo Grimace all
Speaker 1: over Place three for four with two runs scored and
Speaker 1: a dinger. These guys did not. These were the unhappy meals.
Speaker 1: These were the downs. Randy Vasquez six runs and four
Speaker 1: and a third. Hector Nerris blew another save three runs. Yikes,
Speaker 1: he's blown up a couple here the last few weeks.
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna go south, bye bye real quick.
Speaker 1: And the Cubs can't afford to lose these games. You know,
Speaker 1: the Cubs are a very tight situation here. You can't
Speaker 1: blow leads in the ninth. They got to figure this
Speaker 1: ninth inning out. You say, Kakuchi, I say no, thank you.
Speaker 1: Five runs, four innings for him in a loss to
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Injuries, the Dodgers are saying that Mookie
Speaker 1: Betts is gonna miss six to eight weeks. Welsh, I
Speaker 1: would be betting on the eight, how about you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too? And he is impossible, by the way,
Speaker 2: with ranks talking about rank updates, you know, by the way,
Speaker 2: one cool thing is Mike Mayor. Something Mike Mayor does
Speaker 2: do is do the rank update sheets that you can
Speaker 2: check every week. As we were updating those, Mooki was
Speaker 2: so difficult because like they move him down and you're like,
Speaker 2: all right, but then you start to get into this
Speaker 2: place when you're thinking rest of season and you're just
Speaker 2: like Mookie Bets or Gonzales and it's like, oh, when
Speaker 2: Mooki comes back, we're all in. But the problem is
Speaker 2: based off that timeline, Mooki might not be back until
Speaker 2: August fifteenth, so ranking him is really tough outside of
Speaker 2: just burying him. And I would go on the far
Speaker 2: side of this for sure. And I also think that
Speaker 2: this team is potentially going to look at trades, maybe
Speaker 2: at a shortstop, like because I Muki was not good
Speaker 2: defensively at shortstop, then maybe that's the replacement. So when
Speaker 2: he comes back they can throw him out into the
Speaker 2: back into the end.
Speaker 1: That would make a lot more sense. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: somebody was mentioned Adam done do not. Ever, I can't
Speaker 1: believe I'm agreeing with Razor. Don't besmirch Adam Done.
Speaker 2: I love to compare him, due.
Speaker 1: You can't compare Adam Done to Nolan Gorman. Adam Dunn
Speaker 1: hit forty home runs and drove in one hundred runs
Speaker 1: every single year. I understand, you know, the batting average
Speaker 1: for his career is probably around like the two thirties something,
Speaker 1: but the run productivity was amazing. He walked a hundred
Speaker 1: times a year every year like the Adam Done season
Speaker 1: is two thirty seven with you know, forty homers, one
Speaker 1: hundred rbi, one hundred walks and one hundred and eighty strikeout.
Speaker 1: I'll take Adam Done. If Nolan Gorman was Adam Done,
Speaker 1: I'd be having him every I love Adam Done. The
Speaker 1: consistency of Adam Done unbelievable. So, yes, Adam Done.
Speaker 2: No Novis forber is kind of the new Adam Done,
Speaker 2: not not Nolan Gorman.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know maybe maybe, I mean he's got
Speaker 1: to get more kids like Adam Done did. All right,
Speaker 1: now we gotta do this, we gotta do it. Here
Speaker 1: we go two thousand and four. Ready, let's go through.
Speaker 1: Adam Done forty six one oh two. The next year
Speaker 1: forty one oh one, forty ninety two, forty one oh six,
Speaker 1: forty one hundred, Uh, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Is that RBI?
Speaker 1: This is home runs in RBI forty six is the
Speaker 1: ten is a two thousand and four beginning forty six,
Speaker 1: one oh two, forty one oh one, forty ninety two,
Speaker 1: forty one oh six, forty one hundred, uh, thirty eight,
Speaker 1: one oh five, thirty eight one oh three. Then in
Speaker 1: twenty eleven it looks like he missed a lot of
Speaker 1: time injury or something happened twenty twelve, forty one ninety four.
Speaker 2: Six batting averages during those times like two.
Speaker 1: Sixty six, two forty seven, two thirty four, two sixty four,
Speaker 1: two thirty six, two thirty three, two forty three, two
Speaker 1: sixty seven, and then eventually the last couple of years
Speaker 1: were the two oh four two nineteen, two twenties that
Speaker 1: he was in his you know, mid to late thirties
Speaker 1: by then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's better than the consistency of Schwarber,
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I think.
Speaker 1: It's better than Schwarber. Schwarber can't hold Adam Dunn's jock
Speaker 1: right now, as far as I'm concerned. Adam done all that,
Speaker 1: Adam done love today on the Shwow, on the on
Speaker 1: the schwar Show, on the Shwow, on the Schwabishwell yeah, look, listen,
Speaker 1: here you go. Here's a fun Roe from Fenway Adam
Speaker 1: done exactly forty one runs in two thousand and five,
Speaker 1: six seven and eight. I mean, come on, man, that
Speaker 1: is fantastic. Other injuries, Corbyn Carroll is emmriih was clean Welsh?
Speaker 1: Did you do a little dance? He's gonna play today.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited. Guess what he's not gonna do? Hit
Speaker 2: a home run? Now you can bet no home runs.
Speaker 2: I wish I couldn't wish I could do. I should,
Speaker 2: I should ask bet three six five this I wish.
Speaker 1: I wish I could pick then just bet against no.
Speaker 2: But I want to bet. I want to say Corbyn
Speaker 2: Carroll won't hit a homer the whole week. I don't
Speaker 2: want to just bet a day. I want to say,
Speaker 2: give me a bet for because no home runs are
Speaker 2: like minus six hundred or some nonsense, Kelby Carroll is
Speaker 2: probably minus two thousand. Give me he won't hit a
Speaker 2: whole home run a whole week, maybe a month. What
Speaker 2: kind of odds could I get that he doesn't hit
Speaker 2: a home run for an entire month. That would be
Speaker 2: a great bet.
Speaker 1: I'm anybody said so he said in the chat, He's
Speaker 1: Dave Kingman. Dave Kingman not even close to as good
Speaker 1: as Adam done even close. I'm looking at the numbers
Speaker 1: right now. No, like he's in the vicinity. He drove
Speaker 1: in one hundred runs in his whole career twice. Adam
Speaker 1: Dune did it every single year for almost a decade.
Speaker 1: Blue Jays have more bullpen issues. Yimi Garcia to the
Speaker 1: eye l with an ulner nerve and a ritis. So
Speaker 1: Chad Green is next up. So how much you been
Speaker 1: on Chad Green?
Speaker 2: Enough? I'm gonna do enough enough enough. I don't have
Speaker 2: an exact number for you. I don't get like, I
Speaker 2: don't get all jazzed up about Chad Green or anything
Speaker 2: like that, especially you know, suboptimal closing options like that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that's probably a tend to It
Speaker 2: depends what your closing situation is, but ten to fifteen
Speaker 2: percent probably.
Speaker 1: Is this the death no of the Blue Jays? Like
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like we're going in that direction.
Speaker 1: A couple of eyel guys yesterday too.
Speaker 2: We all know that the death blow will be the
Speaker 2: minute that Boba Schet's traded or the minute that they.
Speaker 1: Can just say like we're getting fair. I feel like
Speaker 1: we're approaching that at lightning speed.
Speaker 2: But you know what I think, like if Chris Bassett
Speaker 2: continues to get just blasted and then Barrio's just kind
Speaker 2: of like backtracks like, yeah, we are in the final
Speaker 2: stages of a dismantlement of the Blue Jays. I think
Speaker 2: we are within like All Star Game three week period.
Speaker 2: If things don't right, this team is going to blow
Speaker 2: some stuff up.
Speaker 1: Padres you Darvish making a rehab start tomorrow, so there
Speaker 1: you go. So hopefully he'll be back maybe Monday or
Speaker 1: Tuesday next week. Michael Walka begins his rehab assignment yesterday,
Speaker 1: so I was there.
Speaker 2: I actually talked to him. I talked to if you
Speaker 2: would have looked at my videos by the way, I.
Speaker 1: Talked with Thrilling yesterday and I talked with Michael.
Speaker 2: Actually showed Michael walker where to go. He had no
Speaker 2: idea where to go.
Speaker 1: He did walk him there. I didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 2: He looked amazing by the way he had, like I mean,
Speaker 2: it's complex ball. But no one did anything against him
Speaker 2: except Eloy who had an opposite field homer, but he
Speaker 2: was pin pointing across the board and he told me,
Speaker 2: I think this was his only start and he was
Speaker 2: going back up to the majors. So hat tip to
Speaker 2: Michael Waka super good. Dude looked phenomenal. He went, they said,
Speaker 2: sixty five pitches in that game yesterday over in complex
Speaker 2: and he's rare in to go fastball, look great off
Speaker 2: speed stuff. He was sliders on the corners. He looked awesome.
Speaker 2: So he's a solid streaming guy.
Speaker 1: And Jacob de Grom, last but not least, threw off
Speaker 1: a mound Monday for the first time since Tommy, John
Speaker 1: and June. So there you go. Will we see him
Speaker 1: this year?
Speaker 2: You think, I hope as a closer so you can
Speaker 2: be like, I'm right, everybody, like you know, it's Joe,
Speaker 2: like I've been.
Speaker 1: Saying he would be. Would he not be an amazing closer?
Speaker 1: He would not, But he's just not going to be
Speaker 1: John Smoltz not do this when he couldn't do it
Speaker 1: anymore the way he used to. And was he not
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famers probably because of that run as
Speaker 1: a closer, But there's.
Speaker 2: Like salivating him.
Speaker 1: Look at before the closer run. I don't know if
Speaker 1: John Smoltz is a Hall of Famer to me. He
Speaker 1: I love John Smoltz, but one don't you add in
Speaker 1: the dominating years of him as a closer? Hard to
Speaker 1: keep John Smiles out of the Hall of Fame. And
Speaker 1: you know what this might be Jacob de Gram's path,
Speaker 1: Like I know it's gonna be too expensive for a closer,
Speaker 1: but it is what it is. If there was only
Speaker 1: a way that we could maybe pay for some of
Speaker 1: those things like Jacob de Gram's contract, and maybe we
Speaker 1: can with some of the best bets of the day
Speaker 1: with Joey p and the Welsh. Make sure you go
Speaker 1: overdue bet three six five, bet five bucks, get one
Speaker 1: hundred and fiftyen bonus bets when you use the promo
Speaker 1: code leading off, and of course make sure you are
Speaker 1: eighteen year over. In Kentucky gambling problem, go one one
Speaker 1: hundred gambler or one one hundred bets off. In Iowa,
Speaker 1: terms and conditions apply. I'm going money lines today. Well, yes,
Speaker 1: it was a bad day, so goes straight to the
Speaker 1: money lines tag with all these players. Rice Miller's on
Speaker 1: the mound here for the Seattle Mariners, money line plus
Speaker 1: one oh five. It's at Cleveland still, I think we
Speaker 1: can get a w there, like the way Miller's pitched
Speaker 1: of late. We got Slade Chacone, your boy, against Irvin,
Speaker 1: who's been very good for Washington watching it has been
Speaker 1: a plucky team this year. Washington on the money line
Speaker 1: at home minus one fifteen. I like Washington, I don't
Speaker 1: like Chaconi. He's no good. So I guess gore some
Speaker 1: runs on him today and give me Cincinnati on the
Speaker 1: road on the money line too, with Nicko Lodolo, who
Speaker 1: has pitched ace like this season. That's right, I said it.
Speaker 1: Nicko Loodola's been terrific. Minus one twenty five. Razor Ramona,
Speaker 1: the comments is gonna love that. He's mister red over there.
Speaker 1: So sincey Washington Seattle on the money line all three today,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be my money. Where are you going well
Speaker 1: for your best bets of the day?
Speaker 2: All right three and oh day yesterday was very good.
Speaker 2: I also want to tell you, guys before you give
Speaker 2: you the bets, this is a cool new feature that
Speaker 2: betting Pros is added to the app. We get a
Speaker 2: lot of like we'll share stuff and all the time
Speaker 2: people are like, what app is that?
Speaker 1: What happened?
Speaker 2: It's Betting Pros Betting Pros app where you can go
Speaker 2: in track. There's so much you can do. But they've
Speaker 2: got this cool new feature where you can now share
Speaker 2: you can share your wins. I know it seems so simplistic,
Speaker 2: but it's just an update to the app, which you
Speaker 2: have to love, where you can share how you've performed
Speaker 2: on a day, a week, a single bet, anything like that.
Speaker 2: So you guys might want to start tracking your bets
Speaker 2: and you can go share some wins using the app
Speaker 2: instead of having to do the screenshot of your books
Speaker 2: and everything like that. I should have gone and shared
Speaker 2: my three no day yesterday. We'll see if I want
Speaker 2: to share anything today. Here are my three bets. I'm
Speaker 2: going with the Chicago Cubs and the Tampa bay Rays.
Speaker 2: No run first inning, no run first inning erin Savale,
Speaker 2: Justin Steele. It's only minus one fifteen. Cubs middle of
Speaker 2: the pack as far as run scored in the first inning.
Speaker 2: Tampa is on the bottom front. This qualifies for like
Speaker 2: just being on the line of what I'd want to bet,
Speaker 2: But the juice is really good, so I'm gonna bet
Speaker 2: this one. Cubs Tampa Bay, no run first inning, minus
Speaker 2: one fifteen. The Boston Red Sox. They were plus money
Speaker 2: yesterday on the money line through the first five innings.
Speaker 2: They are not today because it's Tanner Halk, but I
Speaker 2: always support Tanner Hawk. So first five innings money line
Speaker 2: between minus one twenty and one thirty you can find it.
Speaker 2: I'm at one thirty for the money line first five
Speaker 2: on the Boston Red Sox, and then I'm gonna put
Speaker 2: together an all alternative strikeout parlay. And you mentioned one
Speaker 2: of the guys, Nicolodola, who I like today, I actually
Speaker 2: don't hate his full strikeout prop which is six and
Speaker 2: a half. That's decent. I'm gonna pare it down one
Speaker 2: notch and I'm gonna go to six strikeouts, and I'm
Speaker 2: pairing it with lance Lynn who's at five and a half,
Speaker 2: but I'm taking five, so lance Lynn five strikeouts to
Speaker 2: get the Marlins, who stink and they love to strike out,
Speaker 2: added Nicolodolo. At six strikeouts, that gets me plus one
Speaker 2: twenty four for those guys to hit one strikeout under
Speaker 2: what their actual prop is, their Vegas prop. Those are
Speaker 2: my bets and I might have one or two more
Speaker 2: else on betting Pros dot com slash Welsh. If you
Speaker 2: want to check it out today.
Speaker 1: Here you go check them out and make sure you
Speaker 1: subscribe to the Betting Pros YouTube channels because NFL is
Speaker 1: right around the corner. Those are the best bets of
Speaker 1: the day with Joey p and the Welsh. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go Welsh. It's time for the home run calls. Here.
Speaker 1: I am still the same place I was yesterday, still
Speaker 1: at twenty, still looking around Welsh. Where are you going
Speaker 1: with your home run call today? I want you to
Speaker 1: go first. Who's on the board.
Speaker 2: We are going to make it an Ellie day? Give
Speaker 2: me right here. I forgot he's right there. He's looking
Speaker 2: over my shoulder. Ellie home run against Bailey Falter today.
Speaker 2: Get me on the board.
Speaker 1: I leave.
Speaker 2: They said, I'm at fifteen, so I'm like, I'm consistently
Speaker 2: four off I think from getting onto the main board.
Speaker 2: But I am counting on Ellie today, not just for
Speaker 2: my plus six hundred preseason bet of stolen bases, but
Speaker 2: now homers.
Speaker 1: Please please ell there you have it. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Julio. Julio Rodriguez in that ballpark has given up
Speaker 1: a lot of home runs this year, so that's what
Speaker 1: I was, like, who's playing in Cleveland today? I know
Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez. And of course if you want to make
Speaker 1: your home run calls, you can do it over on
Speaker 1: our discord fansbros dot Com slash chat Welsh great times.

Speaker 1: you can always go back there and watch it on
Speaker 1: the YouTube specifically, or if you just forgot you're like,
Speaker 1: what did Welsh say about Michael King? Do I trade
Speaker 1: for him? Do I trade against him? What am I
Speaker 1: trying to do there? It's all there for it.
Speaker 2: Don't think about the Michael King thing today against Phillies.
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit worried about that one. I just
Speaker 2: do that whole stupid thing, like, oh, by Michael King
Speaker 2: and he's going up against the Phillies. This will be
Speaker 2: the litmus test everyone's.
Speaker 1: Be like, oh, you're stupid, EO. You love a good
