Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody pass ross m LB. This is leading off.
Speaker 1: Love brought you buy that three six five? He was
Speaker 1: a from Lofode leading off. When you do, it's me,
Speaker 1: Joey p that's the Welsh and it's you, the Peanuts
Speaker 1: and the cracker Jacks in the chat hanging out with us,
Speaker 1: talking some baseball. Jared Jones was good. We're gonna get
Speaker 1: to him. Mason Miller was good. We got some guys
Speaker 1: who actually look like they know what they're doing on
Speaker 1: the mound, which is a nice change of pace, but
Speaker 1: a lot to get to on today's show, The Welsh,
Speaker 1: I just want to ask you. Did you blow out
Speaker 1: some candles on your birthday yesterday? Do you have some
Speaker 1: fun or what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't do candles. Actually we didn't need to
Speaker 2: another first year. I'm thinking about it. We did it
Speaker 2: because we spread it out. We spread it out. Listen,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of candles on there.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't that it's a fire hazard at this point.
Speaker 2: For it is a fire hazard. But yes, it was
Speaker 2: very good. Thank you for asking, and you know, bye bye.
Speaker 2: I'll just bye bye with the birthday talk, don't you
Speaker 2: I would think about it anymore? I'm getting too old.
Speaker 2: I feel it. I get really old. Also when I
Speaker 2: watch like twenty two year old pitchers like Jared Jones
Speaker 2: on the mat dominating, dominating the league, I'm very excited
Speaker 2: to talk about him what he did yesterday. And I
Speaker 2: don't know how much you watch of it, but the
Speaker 2: Bryce Terrain strikeout was the grossest strikeout over the last
Speaker 2: couple of years I can think of, outside of the
Speaker 2: one Grand Polly took this year where he swung through
Speaker 2: and then got smashed in the face. It was a
Speaker 2: fatality of a strikeout Jared Jones, And yeah, maybe we
Speaker 2: really do need to rethink, like how we're going to
Speaker 2: treat a guy like Jared Jones rest of season, even
Speaker 2: into the Rookie of the Year Awards, which he's like
Speaker 2: third or fourth than NL right now, because he is disgusting, disgusting.
Speaker 1: We're also going to talk about the Orioles making some moves,
Speaker 1: more rookies coming for the Orioles. Were talk about this
Speaker 1: guy too, Jackson Holliday. We're going to talk about him,
Speaker 1: but before we do, let's get into the headlines. Recool
Speaker 1: picked up his third win on Monday, So that's a
Speaker 1: good job by him nine k's, six innings, zero runs. Welsh,
Speaker 1: you said that he would be a cy young candidate.
Speaker 1: I was skeptical. I'm still skeptical, but I'm getting less
Speaker 1: skeptical by the minute. Where are you at here with
Speaker 1: schoobl and that potentially as we're looking forward here, because
Speaker 1: he's been He's been fantastic as advertised, for sure.
Speaker 2: And sometimes he just does it with these you know,
Speaker 2: it's funny. Yesterday it was pretty good betting day, and
Speaker 2: the two that stared at me the whole day and
Speaker 2: I ended up really not doing anything with him was
Speaker 2: Jared Jones strikeouts in Tarique schoobl strikeouts. Schooble was just
Speaker 2: one of those like I just I want to be
Speaker 2: out there. I want to be invested when he's doing something.
Speaker 2: Sometimes there's an ease to how he's going, and I
Speaker 2: just wonder, like if the strikeouts aren't going to be
Speaker 2: as prominent this year, the rays have just been pretty bad.
Speaker 2: I mean, he ended up having those strikeouts on only
Speaker 2: thirteen swing and whiffs, which seems kind of low, but
Speaker 2: he had an overall thirty one percent swing and wiff
Speaker 2: rate thirty four percent CSW which has been good and
Speaker 2: he has continuously has been great. He's one of those
Speaker 2: guys not walking a whole bunch. He is just pounding
Speaker 2: the zone. He's got the secondaries. I mean obviously you know,
Speaker 2: the change up I think has just been absolutely disgusting.
Speaker 2: Sink or fastball. He owns the zone across the board. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's an ace of ace and we just pray to
Speaker 2: God he's gonna stay healthy. But he's one of those
Speaker 2: guys from a betting perspective, I'm always gonna pay really
Speaker 2: hard attention to. And you know, from a fantasy perspective,
Speaker 2: he's moving up the ranks as guys are getting, you know,
Speaker 2: ticked down. So at this point, you know, if you're
Speaker 2: talking about the al race, like Kirby, isn't that great.
Speaker 2: I mean he's been great, but like.
Speaker 1: He well, Loo, Kirby and Castillo are still in the mix,
Speaker 1: so is and Burns, but all have been kind of well,
Speaker 1: somebody's been Nobody is separated from the pack yet it's
Speaker 1: too early. Here's a question for you, if we're redrafting today,
Speaker 1: where would Schoogle go overall like of pictures or like
Speaker 1: the overtures or just round whatever you want to say?
Speaker 1: Is he a third round pick right now, like if
Speaker 1: you were drafting right.
Speaker 2: Now, probably like that's where I kind of dive into pictures.
Speaker 2: A bigger question might be where would JR Joe go?
Speaker 2: You know, how close did Jared Jones go to Tarik'skoople
Speaker 2: in that list?
Speaker 1: But I think pick because we're still waiting for the
Speaker 1: shoot to drop. Well, let's talk about it. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about the pirates, because the pirates were good. Oneo Cruz
Speaker 1: did not get a home run, but he was three
Speaker 1: for four double two ribis. But Jared Jones punching out
Speaker 1: seven guys their one earned run in six innings. So
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard to argue right now. But again,
Speaker 1: what does it look like in August and September and
Speaker 1: those had the head leagues. That's something you gotta ask yourself.
Speaker 1: And I think that's very important.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree, and that's been kind of my case.
Speaker 2: Switch is just wrong so far, Like you know, hand
Speaker 2: up with my trade videos. I think it was the
Speaker 2: second video it was like, hey, Jerry Jones is amazing.
Speaker 2: We're talking about him as the top thirty. Maybe we
Speaker 2: should sell really high because more of like some of
Speaker 2: this other stuff that's floating out there. We saw him
Speaker 2: go fifty nine pitches in his last start. Why because
Speaker 2: it was four days rest this one. They let him
Speaker 2: just kind of do his thing. But it's still seventy
Speaker 2: nine pitches. They are gonna, They're gonna baby to some degree,
Speaker 2: but he is insane. Twenty five swinging whiffs. I believe
Speaker 2: I could be wrong about this. I think every single
Speaker 2: start he's had, he has been the leader in whiffs
Speaker 2: for that day among pitchers. His slider. I mean, let
Speaker 2: me get back to it here. I was actually looking for.
Speaker 1: It's a tremendous While you're looking at that, it's a
Speaker 1: tremendous if. But if he stays healthy in skiins, stay
Speaker 1: healthy two years from now, you're looking at the best
Speaker 1: one to two in rotation and baseball potentially.
Speaker 2: From a yes, from like a super young perspective, because
Speaker 2: like you know, the Mariners still have Kirby and Luis
Speaker 2: Castillo and there's some other good ones. But from like
Speaker 2: a dynasty perspective, it's amazing. But the numbers fifty eight
Speaker 2: percent swinging with on his slider, that's disgusting, forty six
Speaker 2: percent swinging with on his fastball, which I can't believe
Speaker 2: this league still is not caught up to the fastball
Speaker 2: at all. Fifty one percent swinging with and a forty
Speaker 2: three percent csw still a primary two pitch pitcher, he's
Speaker 2: still getting this done just throwing big fastballs and sliders.
Speaker 2: I do feel like there's gotta be a point. But
Speaker 2: clearly it's like the deceptiveness of how the ball obviously
Speaker 2: like the release point. Guys can't pick it up. It's
Speaker 2: incredible how the fastball travels past everybody. Even great fastball
Speaker 2: hitters pretty much at all times, can wear down a
Speaker 2: little bit later in the game. I've seen some big
Speaker 2: hard hit numbers when someone does like lock up on him.
Speaker 2: I'm still worried long term the whole season about what
Speaker 2: those innings, like you said, are going to look like
Speaker 2: how it is on the end of the season. So
Speaker 2: head to head it might be a tiny bit different.
Speaker 2: But we are now talking about a trajectory of a
Speaker 2: guy where I was like, Hey, if you could sell
Speaker 2: him for top thirty, this is cool. You're now he's
Speaker 2: like legitimately in the top ten conversation thing for a
Speaker 2: lot of people with how.
Speaker 1: Sp has gone. Yeah, but again, it has an expiration date.
Speaker 2: In twenty four, so we just might be chasing that
Speaker 2: expiration date. That's my only worries.
Speaker 1: How long do we take O But I want to
Speaker 1: get out of that expiration date well before and it
Speaker 1: will be selling high and it will be tough, Like
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to look yourself in the mirror and
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to say, I am not happy about
Speaker 1: making this trade, but you have to look into the
Speaker 1: future and realize that, you know, August and September, specially
Speaker 1: if we got playoffs, like I just can't imagine him
Speaker 1: being there necessarily for a good chunk of it. So
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. We'll see Nolan Gorman game winning two
Speaker 1: run homer for him yesterday, So a big win for
Speaker 1: the Cards over your d Backs. Travis Darnaut has been
Speaker 1: terrific since filling in for Sean Murphy has been out
Speaker 1: with the oblique injury. Another two run homer for him.
Speaker 1: He's got five homers in four games. Great run for
Speaker 1: him the Twins, big win for them. Chris Paddock, ten
Speaker 1: K's seven shoutout innings, and Eduard Julian a good bounce
Speaker 1: back day. He had had a rough go three for
Speaker 1: four homer, two ribbyes. So that's good.
Speaker 2: Just point out like it's so funny. Someone had brought
Speaker 2: up like, oh my god, I got Gorman and I
Speaker 2: got Edward Julian, what do I do? And it was like, man,
Speaker 2: I felt more comfortable about Julian being able to bounce back,
Speaker 2: maybe not so much Gorman, and then they both kind
Speaker 2: of shined Yesterday's things will start picking small sample sizes
Speaker 2: are starting to get bigger, but hopefully a guy like
Speaker 2: Julian specifically is the one I think was able and
Speaker 2: can bounce back long term more than a guy like Nolanman.
Speaker 1: So uncle Ted, I don't know if Uncle Ted made
Speaker 1: this or a manual class a for Jared Jones, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think I want to do that trade now,
Speaker 1: Like that that's not the trade I want. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean wait, I want him to continue to build up
Speaker 1: and then I want to cash in for like a
Speaker 1: true star. I'm not an even elite closer. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's enough there.
Speaker 2: But like, the only problem with a guy like Jared Jones,
Speaker 2: I just don't think you're gonna look at Jared Jones
Speaker 2: being moved for like another starter, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: They're not gonna be like starter for starter, so it
Speaker 2: is gonna be like a closer, or it's gonna be
Speaker 2: a hitter. So you're gonna have to take Jered Jones
Speaker 2: and his production if you're trading him off to try
Speaker 2: to go get a big bat. So hopefully everything else
Speaker 2: is like in its right place as far as starters
Speaker 2: that you have. But so then it's like, is there
Speaker 2: any closer you would trade him for? It sounds like not.
Speaker 2: So then like, like, what do you think a hitter?
Speaker 2: If you were to get presented with a hitter right now,
Speaker 2: what gets you turned?
Speaker 1: Well, look, I'm thinking in my head the first one
Speaker 1: immediately in my head or Randy Roseerana.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that was mine too.
Speaker 1: That's weird. I'm like that, that's the guy that I
Speaker 1: would be buying everywhere now because it's only a matter
Speaker 1: of time before he turns things around. But like, that's
Speaker 1: a guy that I buy into, I believe in. It's
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty guy like that, that's the perfect guy
Speaker 1: right now. Cody wants to know, am I wearing a
Speaker 1: member's only jacket? No, I'm the same Patriots. It's cool,
Speaker 1: It's got like the different you know, NFL sleeve thing.
Speaker 1: My dad, however, did have a member's only jacket and
Speaker 1: he was a member for a very long time.
Speaker 2: It did look very members And then also uncle ted ass,
Speaker 2: was this a Savannah bananas? Yes, it's part of the
Speaker 2: hat rotation.
Speaker 1: Every time you're worrying about our fashion and just it's
Speaker 1: I worry about it. I like it. This is, you know,
Speaker 1: not about the aesthetics so much as the content around here. Uh,
Speaker 1: the A's big win for them, Zach Geloff Homer in
Speaker 1: the ninth and then Mason Miller came out, struck out
Speaker 1: the side, including Sodo and Judge and it was awesome.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you something, I went from six to
Speaker 1: midnight watching that.
Speaker 2: Well, that's that's kind of where I'm going. Are you
Speaker 2: like the leader of the Mason Miller fan club like?
Speaker 1: Which is so weird because I was the guy going, oh,
Speaker 1: this kid's I implode and he second, the only way
Speaker 1: to possibly keep this guy healthy is to make up
Speaker 1: a closer And then they did it. And I don't
Speaker 1: always trust the A's to make good decisions. Historically speaking,
Speaker 1: i'd be right on that. But they made a good
Speaker 1: decision and it's working out. And let This be something
Speaker 1: for everybody else out there too. If you've got one
Speaker 1: of these flamethrowing guys, like when they're young and you're
Speaker 1: worried about keeping them healthy, and it's just you know,
Speaker 1: guys used to work out of the bullpen for years
Speaker 1: and then they would.
Speaker 3: Go When I was hey, hold on, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: and I remember when I was watching baseball in the sixties.
Speaker 3: What they would do is you'd started to bow pen, see,
Speaker 3: and you'd have the guy pitching the bullpen and if
Speaker 3: you're good enough, then Evinji you get it started to
Speaker 3: hear you go, kid, you go out there, you go
Speaker 3: out you'd try to be a starting pitcher. Look as
Speaker 3: recently as Johann Santana, that happened and he had an
Speaker 3: amazing run.
Speaker 2: Of Johan Duran. Actually, Johann Duran was one of those
Speaker 2: guys that moved from like a starter flame throw into
Speaker 2: a starter.
Speaker 1: The first thing is like guys used to work into
Speaker 1: the rotation via the bullpen. You didn't just get like
Speaker 1: you had to earn that stuff off. And maybe there's
Speaker 1: something to that, like maybe that's a that's a model
Speaker 1: people should revisit an organization, say, you know, maybe this
Speaker 1: isn't the worst way to do it. Maybe it's it's
Speaker 1: about learning about what it takes the pitch in the
Speaker 1: major leagues over a small sample size and then start
Speaker 1: to grow them over time.
Speaker 2: I think the I think the ultimate problem with that
Speaker 2: is look at how valuable starting pitching is and how
Speaker 2: easy it is to lose. So it's like, if you've
Speaker 2: got somebody you want to hold on and develop them
Speaker 2: as a start, you see a lot less development of closers,
Speaker 2: of relievers or anything like that, more so than ever,
Speaker 2: even like Jacob Misrowski is a guy in the miners
Speaker 2: that I think maybe exemplifies one of those type of
Speaker 2: guys you know, those.
Speaker 1: Flames that it sounds like the lead singer of an
Speaker 1: emo band from the two thousands. Yeah, misery. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to just for fun. Craig Kimbrel moved past
Speaker 1: Billy Waggs on the All Time Saves list with a
Speaker 1: scoreless ninth. Here's a question for you, all right, what
Speaker 1: active pitcher is ahead of Craig Kimberl Is only one
Speaker 1: guy ahead of Craig Kimberle. That's still who is it? Peanuts,
Speaker 1: Cracker Jacks? If you know, don't google it. It's no
Speaker 1: fun drop it in the chat. If you have the trivia,
Speaker 1: you have a guess.
Speaker 2: Well, Kinley, that doesn't sound right, Kenley Jansen.
Speaker 1: Jansen, Yeah, I'll tell you if you're right in a second. Here,
Speaker 1: let's get to the rookie. Lookie, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: Orioles recalling outfielder Heston Kiirs. Dad. Why because Austin Hayes
Speaker 1: goes on the IL. Just in case you're not keeping
Speaker 1: up with it, he's in in three forty nine at
Speaker 1: Triple A with eleven seventy six ops, ten homers for Norfolk.
Speaker 1: Kirsta has been amazing. Now you bring this kid up,
Speaker 1: you gotta play him. You can't just bring him off
Speaker 1: for death right like. He's got to be playing every day. Correct.
Speaker 2: That's what we hope, and that's what I hope. But
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm hyper optimistic about every single day.
Speaker 2: Because here's the deal. Ryan O'Hearn has been great. Your outfield,
Speaker 2: Golden Kowser has locked himself in a lefty. Also, you've
Speaker 2: got Anthony Santander, You've got Cedric Mullens another lefty so like,
Speaker 2: and then at first base you've got Ryan Moultcastle, So
Speaker 2: where do you fit that in when everybody is performing
Speaker 2: really well As far as positionally where he can play
Speaker 2: what will be at the ex Austin Hayes wasn't really
Speaker 2: playing a whole bunch. Listen. I believe you should go
Speaker 2: and pick up Heston Kirsta. That's why I tweeted about
Speaker 2: it last night the ten Homers.
Speaker 1: Pick up video two weeks ago. Two weeks so, I said,
Speaker 1: picking up for nothing.
Speaker 2: We've talked a ton about a guy like Joey Luperfido.
Speaker 2: What's interesting in comparison with those guys is like Joey Luperfito,
Speaker 2: I think has maybe a better opportunity as far as
Speaker 2: playing time for the corner outfield, playing first base. Kurstadam.
Speaker 2: I think we're a little bit stuck here because I
Speaker 2: think he might be righty platooned and and I've seen
Speaker 2: some people already tweeting like, you don't bring him up
Speaker 2: to put him in a platoon, But I think that's
Speaker 2: exactly what they're gonna do, because again, the expense is
Speaker 2: Mount Castle, Herne Santander. That's or I suppose Cedric Mullins
Speaker 2: if you put Kowser in the office. So that's the
Speaker 2: expense for him to play. I think they're gonna lock
Speaker 2: him up against righty's, not against lefties. But the power
Speaker 2: has been absolutely real. He's lowered his strikeout rate, He's
Speaker 2: got one of the just he's got a beautiful swing.
Speaker 2: There are strikeout, big.
Speaker 1: Strike issues with he's Will Clark with more power.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's big strikeout issues with luper Feto that
Speaker 2: I don't think are quite there. With Cursed, I also
Speaker 2: think he's a pretty good athlete. Like this is great,
Speaker 2: and here's what could happen. Here's the only other thing
Speaker 2: I want to as I'm pouring some cold water on
Speaker 2: it coldon. Cowser made the opening day roster in a
Speaker 2: platoon situation, and he forced his way onto the everyday roster.
Speaker 2: You might see the same thing end up happening with Kurstadt,
Speaker 2: and that's why you pick him up. Plenty of these
Speaker 2: rookies aren't working out, you know, hand up to the
Speaker 2: Jackson holidays, that don't work out in the Victor Scott's
Speaker 2: But this is that time period where you start to
Speaker 2: look that he could hold it because he's ready. He
Speaker 2: aged to level stuff. There's nothing left to do in
Speaker 2: tripa a so pick him up if you can.
Speaker 1: I am also with the mind of I am holding
Speaker 1: steady with Jackson Holiday. Just to read you the statue
Speaker 1: of Jackson Holiday so far this year, nine games, thirty
Speaker 1: two played appearances. He has zero home runs, one hit
Speaker 1: thanks Grandpa, one hit one RBI. He's hitting point zero
Speaker 1: thirty three with a point zero thirty three slugging and
Speaker 1: a point zero nine to four obp. This is I mean,
Speaker 1: when your ops is one point two seven, that's that's
Speaker 1: not good. So this is not just bad, this is awful.
Speaker 1: This is atrocious. This I mean can't get wars. They've
Speaker 1: been benching him too, which is also kind of embarrassing
Speaker 1: and stupid. Anthony Volpi struggled last year. He still put
Speaker 1: up you know, twenty twenty just by hitting two hundred.
Speaker 1: I know you. You and everybody talks about the hit
Speaker 1: tool of Jackson Holiday. You know how I felt about
Speaker 1: Jackson Holiday. I liked the player a lot. I thought
Speaker 1: power is going to take a long time to develop.
Speaker 1: I wasn't like necessarily in the like. It's not that
Speaker 1: I like Kerstad more, It's that I was more excited
Speaker 1: about Kuresad because I knew what the profile was. However,
Speaker 1: sure Jackson Holiday is so much better than this. He
Speaker 1: is getting dropped all over the place. He is trade
Speaker 1: fodder right now. This is your window to buy Jackson Holiday,
Speaker 1: would you agree? And especially in keeper dynasty leagues like
Speaker 1: this is.
Speaker 2: Keeper dynasty, no doubt about it, There's no question about it.
Speaker 2: I'm buying all over the rookie fatigue that ends up happening.
Speaker 2: This is like full front. He's struggling. We've been through
Speaker 2: this a gajillion times over. I'm buying it for sure.
Speaker 2: In Redraft, I do think it's tough. I do think
Speaker 2: there's an opportunity that he does get sent down because
Speaker 2: of Westburg, because of guys like kirstad You would kind
Speaker 2: of think that maybe Kobe Mayo would be the beneficiary.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if this team is truly going
Speaker 2: to just put their Norfolk team out in the Majors
Speaker 2: with Gunner and Adley. So from a Redraft perspective, what
Speaker 2: I'm doing is I'm monitoring Jackson Holiday because I think
Speaker 2: this is going to turn at some point, not just
Speaker 2: like turn where he's like okay, turn where we see
Speaker 2: the real Jackson Holiday. But I think you can somebody
Speaker 2: asks the question I think to you and I in
Speaker 2: a points leeg, would you drop Jackson Holiday for Kurstad? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean you need points and Jackson Holiday is not
Speaker 2: kidding that. I do think he will be He will
Speaker 2: be a commodity that you want when he starts going,
Speaker 2: specifically in points leagues. But Kurstadd is a big guy
Speaker 2: and he's probably gonna be thrown in hitting like six
Speaker 2: right away. But I still think it's going to be
Speaker 2: against just righty's. It'll be very interesting to see if
Speaker 2: he's hitting against lefties or playing every single day. Those
Speaker 2: would be the tall tale signs. But you know, if
Speaker 2: you can hold you possibly should what signs? Tell tale
Speaker 2: tall tale?
Speaker 1: You seell tell tale? That's hell tell tell tell tale,
Speaker 1: tell tell tall tell tales, you tell tall tale? Tale
Speaker 1: line is a telltale signe. It was his tilltale side.
Speaker 1: But you said tall tale.
Speaker 2: Tale tale. Do you use shaving cream with it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah today. By the way, you were right, it was
Speaker 1: kin Lee Jansen. That's the answer to the trivia question.
Speaker 1: Barren can do that first, So credit to Barry. There.
Speaker 1: The guy in between them one of my least favorite
Speaker 1: pictures of all time. Fun fact, John Franco four hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty four saves, and four hundred and twenty four
Speaker 1: of them were painful. All for twenty four were completely painful.
Speaker 1: Also on the Rookie Lookie Today, Louis Varlin, we just
Speaker 1: talked about him yesterday. Well, they must have been watching
Speaker 1: the show because he got sent down to Triple A.
Speaker 1: Rock Go Baldelli wasn't having it anymore, eh, Simeon Woods Richardson,
Speaker 1: is that the next guy up for the Twins?
Speaker 2: It might be. It's not gonna matter. I'm not a
Speaker 2: Simeon Woods fun fact, Simmy.
Speaker 1: Woods Richardson, Simon Woods Richardson.
Speaker 2: He almost broke my finger and he doesn't even know
Speaker 2: he did. It was at the Dream Series. He was
Speaker 2: actually a two way player. He was a pitcher and
Speaker 2: hitter in high school. And he was We're on field,
Speaker 2: I was about to interview Kamar Rocker. He's taking VP.
Speaker 2: Hits a ball that goes over the cage and up
Speaker 2: right at me and two other guys, and then I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to catch it, go to catch it,
Speaker 2: and then did not catch it, got the tip of
Speaker 2: the finger and then I had to like suck it up.
Speaker 2: Other I'm good, I'm all right like it. I felt
Speaker 2: like it was broken, so so for that he won't
Speaker 2: be the next big starting pitcher, that someone I would
Speaker 2: stash for that only reason.
Speaker 1: Fair enough. Also on the show, we like to give
Speaker 1: away three things. We just gave away the big jersey yesterday,
Speaker 1: so now it's time to give away this bad boy
Speaker 1: Fantasy Baseball Championship built thing that is amazing. All you
Speaker 1: have to do subscribe to the channel Fantasy Pros MLB.
Speaker 1: We are very close to twenty thousand subs. Let's get
Speaker 1: there everybody, now, I said subs, I'm hungry. All you
Speaker 1: have to do to win subscribe to the channel. Comment below.
Speaker 1: That's it, and this belt could be yours. We're giving
Speaker 1: away in the next few weeks, so make sure you'll
Speaker 1: get on board. Welsh, we gotta figure out what we're
Speaker 1: doing next week if we get twenty because we gotta
Speaker 1: do something.
Speaker 2: Oh you think it'll be next week, Well, hopefully it's
Speaker 2: not next week. I'm gonna be gone for a couple
Speaker 2: of days next.
Speaker 1: Week, but I have some time to think.
Speaker 2: Well, actually hopefully it is. By the way, I hope
Speaker 2: we get more subscribers, get to twenty I presented an
Speaker 2: idea which I thought was amazing. You also had an idea.
Speaker 2: We could scrap both of those. We could do nothing.
Speaker 2: But I think my idea would go over the best.
Speaker 1: Yours is the wrestling one.
Speaker 2: Right, it's an all wrestling show. It's that we dress
Speaker 2: up as wrestlers.
Speaker 1: Law or not or But I'm in for that one.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, well, but I want toone no As just
Speaker 2: says that Joe's was a Hamilton and we'd be singing
Speaker 2: the whole show. So I don't think that would go
Speaker 2: over any better than wrestling. They we'll put up a pole.
Speaker 1: Let's see, let's do the three up and three down.
Speaker 1: Colton Cows are homing for a second straight game. If uh,
Speaker 1: this is from my friend Kurt, he actually texted in
Speaker 1: for the show. If Jackson Holliday's little Debbie is, Colton
Speaker 1: Cows are big Debora. I like that.
Speaker 2: I love that they are committing to the move thing,
Speaker 2: by the way, like cow They're just going full in,
Speaker 2: like that's all that they've got for this guy. They're
Speaker 2: like everybody moves when he comes up. I'm I'm very
Speaker 2: much for this, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Logan o'hoppy three for four, he's at three eighteen.
Speaker 1: Look at that that batting average for mister o'happy. Uh
Speaker 1: and then Dylan Cees one run, seven hits in a win.
Speaker 1: So good there by the way, more Rockies talk coming soon.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the bet of the day. Three down
Speaker 1: Jonathan Cannon torch for six runs, Jose Gintana gave up
Speaker 1: five and five, and Bratty Singer also gave up five
Speaker 1: runs but in six innings. Uh, so there you go.
Speaker 1: Some injuries to get to the Reds end up putting
Speaker 1: Frankie Montaz on the il for fifteen days with the
Speaker 1: forearm contusion. So not only was gonna miss a start,
Speaker 1: but fifteen days with the contusion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got hit by the ball.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I know, but geez, Brian Woo woo.
Speaker 1: Three scoreless innings, five k's and the rehab start. So
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. He's working his way back. If
Speaker 1: he is somehow floating around the waiver wire, go get him.
Speaker 1: Or if somebody's got him on the bench, go try
Speaker 1: to make a trade. I like me some Brian wu
Speaker 1: Alec Manoa. I don't like nothing personal, Alec. He's making
Speaker 1: another rehab start either, Wednesday or Thursday. Paul Seawald rehab
Speaker 1: assignment today, Welsh, you're excited to get Paul Seawall back soon.
Speaker 2: The Diamondbacks need it so bad. We're gonna They're gonna
Speaker 2: lose Meryl. I was gonna do the like I'm a
Speaker 2: part of the team. Meryl is gonna be.
Speaker 1: Out where it's the Wei We're in the we stuff here.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be out for some period of time. They've
Speaker 2: also lost some bullpen Tommy Henry is back. They need
Speaker 2: Paul sea Wald bad because their bullpen is one of
Speaker 2: the worst in baseball, and they're losing starters left and right.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a bad It's a really bad run
Speaker 2: going with the Diebacks. By the way, the entire chat
Speaker 2: has turned into what characters we would be? What wrestling characters?
Speaker 2: I'm I'm getting like Jake this name. You guys have
Speaker 2: no idea. I've already told Joe who I would come
Speaker 2: on the show as, so you guys have no idea.
Speaker 2: But we're getting some like who would wrestlers be? I mean,
Speaker 2: Joe's clearly like a stone cold like that kind of
Speaker 2: feels like it, But I feel like you should do something.
Speaker 1: But can I just crush Beers the whole show. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's fine.
Speaker 2: I'll be a stone cold then it'll be fine.
Speaker 1: I'll be stone cold. Hammer Blue Jays prospect Ricky Tiedeman
Speaker 1: with the shoulder issue visiting team doctors in Toronto. That's
Speaker 1: not good. Carlos Korea intercostal strain is on the upswing apparently,
Speaker 1: so I don't see how long that lost. And we
Speaker 1: just talked about this yesterday back to the Rays closer
Speaker 1: job because Pete Fairbanks fifteen day. I l your thoughts
Speaker 1: here on what's gonna be with this committee potentially here
Speaker 1: James are, let's see Adam. We got Clevin and Pochet.
Speaker 1: I think those are the guys.
Speaker 2: I think Jason at I mean, they're probably gonna do
Speaker 2: like full committee, but I feel like Jason Adam is
Speaker 2: going to be the main guy. I think he kind
Speaker 2: of has been. We've also seen that's a good idea.
Speaker 2: We've also seen pace. So I'm gonna go with Jason
Speaker 2: Adam though, is the one I'm speculating on. By the way, somebody, yeah,
Speaker 2: somebody said you brought it up for the podcast listeners.
Speaker 2: The Dudley Boys.
Speaker 1: Dudley Boy is a good one. Uh someone said, I
Speaker 1: give them Ray Masterial by we're actually the same size
Speaker 1: being Ray Masterial. You guys studying that he's has had
Speaker 1: the career he's had.
Speaker 2: You actually you should wear the Lucha door Mouse. That
Speaker 2: would be great. How about a Valvenus Hello.
Speaker 1: Lady, can't do that one anymore. He's been canceled. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's no bueno on the You know, some of those guys,
Speaker 1: they've got some good bye, a little bit of CT.
Speaker 1: They got a little bit of some bad choices making there.
Speaker 1: But that's okay because we're gonna make some good choices
Speaker 1: here because it's time Welsh for Tuesdays Best Bets of
Speaker 1: the Day with Joey p and the Welsh. Make sure
Speaker 1: you're making your wagers over on three six five. Use
Speaker 1: that promo code leading off when you do bet five bucks,
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifty in bonus bets again, only
Speaker 1: when you use that promo code leading off twenty one
Speaker 1: or eighteen or over. In Kentucky, gambling problem called one
Speaker 1: hundred gambler or one one hundred bets off. In Iowa,
Speaker 1: terms and conditions apply. Let's talk about the terms and
Speaker 1: conditions of our bets here. I'm gonna start with Michael
Speaker 1: King two hundred and twenty eight. That's the number of
Speaker 1: Rocky strikeouts that is second worst in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: And Michael King coming off his best outing where he
Speaker 1: k ten last time we saw him, so the number
Speaker 1: is five and a half over minus one oh eight.
Speaker 1: In fact, you can put in the same game parlay
Speaker 1: if you want, with the Padres on the money line
Speaker 1: at minus one sixty. Michael King and the Padres, you
Speaker 1: can put them together, same game parlay, get plus one
Speaker 1: seventy three. I like that number. The Orioles with our
Speaker 1: boy Grayson Rodriguez on the mound minus one and a
Speaker 1: half on the run line at plus one ten against
Speaker 1: the Angels. Like that one a lot today. Two Canning
Speaker 1: on the other side, he is a can all right
Speaker 1: of gas. And then the Twins. This one might be
Speaker 1: a little diceier, but I like Pablo Lopez enough, and
Speaker 1: the Twins are a home. Give me the Twins over
Speaker 1: the White Sox minus one and a half two at
Speaker 1: minus one twelve. That's what I'm liking today on the
Speaker 1: betting lines. Welsh, what do you like on the betting
Speaker 1: landscape for Tuesday?
Speaker 2: Yes, we went two for one yesterday, and one of
Speaker 2: those was the KPE parlay. So I'm back with the
Speaker 2: k parley and I'm actually gonna jump on the Michael
Speaker 2: King bandwagon. It is in Colorado, which is scary, but
Speaker 2: I do believe Michael King is and has been turning
Speaker 2: that corner. But also Colorado, they strike out. That's all
Speaker 2: that they do all day long. Phil actually also played
Speaker 2: the alt line on Dylan Cees yesterday, as I kind
Speaker 2: of briefly mentioned on the show to eight k's and
Speaker 2: he hit that, so that was great. So I am
Speaker 2: pairing Michael King, and I'm pairing it down on an
Speaker 2: alt line of five strikeouts, so just endo the five
Speaker 2: and a half, and I'm pairing that with Grayson Rodriguez.
Speaker 2: I believes stark out nine angels last time, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to six strikeouts, so five Michael King, six Grace Rodriguez.
Speaker 2: Pair it together plus money got around one to oh eight,
Speaker 2: So I'm putting those strikeout a little strikeout parlay together.
Speaker 2: Next up Boston, I'm going with the first five money
Speaker 2: line over on bet three six five that is minus
Speaker 2: one ten. It's the best line I've seen out there,
Speaker 2: and I love Tanner Hawk. We've talked a bunch about
Speaker 2: Tanner Hawk. It is a tougher matchup because the Guardians
Speaker 2: are you know, it's a tough team. They don't strike
Speaker 2: out a whole lot. They're going to try to get
Speaker 2: on base. They're going to manufacture runs. But I just
Speaker 2: love tanner Hawk and I think he has been an
Speaker 2: absolute stud I think he can hold the line and
Speaker 2: it's really good odds. If they are tied after five,
Speaker 2: then the bet pushes. That's what's so great about it.
Speaker 2: If they're up by a run, I win. That's the game.
Speaker 2: It's the name of the game. I win the game,
Speaker 2: and then the final and the final one. Here is
Speaker 2: another parlay. It's a money line parlay. We're going back
Speaker 2: to San Diego with Michael King against Colorado because they stink.
Speaker 2: Michael King and the San Diego Padres money line with
Speaker 2: the team you just mentioned, the Minnesota Twins and Pablo
Speaker 2: Lopez on their money line. So Twins and Padres' money
Speaker 2: line plus one twenty seven for both of those teams
Speaker 2: to just win straight up. So I'm a little parlayed
Speaker 2: out today. You want to see any more bets, you

Speaker 1: But then there's another one where she had where you
Speaker 1: should just be a wrestler made up called the tall
Speaker 1: tail my aida.
Speaker 2: I assume he's just trying to throw all the things
Speaker 2: in together. Although it doesn't work. That doesn't work, doesn't.
Speaker 1: That will forever be one of my top five moments. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I loved it. You're just going on and on and

Speaker 1: to think I'm a good sport. Too. Across me, I'll
Speaker 1: cut you. But other than that, I'm a good sport.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally great guy. I want this wrestling so bad now,
Speaker 2: by the way, and I only want you to wear
Speaker 2: a Lucha door mask, or maybe we both wear Lucha
Speaker 2: door masks.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean we could both wear the Lucia door
Speaker 1: mask is not a bad one. Can I still break
Speaker 1: beer like stone cold? If I do it or not?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably They probably drank a lot of beer
Speaker 2: Lucha door.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's fine. All right, Let's take a look at
Speaker 1: the whole run board, see how things are going. I'm
Speaker 1: still at eight. Look, somebody's at ten. Waking Life back
Speaker 1: again from the dead, awoken all the way up to ten.
Speaker 1: It's a movie good. I didn't even see Waking Life
Speaker 1: on this list. All of a sudden there are ten.
Speaker 1: A week later, boom, there they are. If you want
Speaker 1: to join this again, go to our discord fansbros dot
Speaker 1: Com slash chat Christian Yell which is there?
Speaker 2: Look happy here? It looks early, it looks like as
Speaker 2: back is all right.
Speaker 1: And tomorrow cleaning up after the show with us. The
Speaker 1: only place to do it, of course, is here over
Speaker 1: on our discord if you want to continue to talk
Speaker 1: to Welsh and myself, Welsh, I'm going with Mookie Bets
Speaker 1: today against Patrick Corbyn. That's my choice and I'm sticking
Speaker 1: to it. He's got some good numbers for his career
Speaker 1: against Patrick Corban, and I hope Patrick Corbyn gives me
Speaker 1: a home run because I've gone stone cold recently on
Speaker 1: the home run board. I can't get a home run
Speaker 1: this last five six days, so I need to get
Speaker 1: one here, Welsh, where are you going for your dinger
Speaker 1: call the day?
Speaker 2: Well man, I wish we hadn't done all that setup
Speaker 2: because I'm picking on our friend Kenta Maida and I'm
Speaker 2: going with the Rays Randy Rose arena. I was gonna
Speaker 2: go with MOOKI bets how apropos that we are going
Speaker 2: to pick on Kenta Maida home runs given up, Randy
Speaker 2: Rose arena.
Speaker 1: Boo, there you go, there you go, slump bustin, let's go.
Speaker 1: I like that show today. Quick. We're very moving through
Speaker 1: things here, you know, I like that quite a bit.
Speaker 1: Here's a question for you. What are you looking forward
Speaker 1: to most today in Major League Baseball? What do you
Speaker 1: have your eye on from what's going on with the pitching,
Speaker 1: what's going on with the hitting. Is there somebody in
Speaker 1: particular you're really kind of like watching today because yesterday
Speaker 1: Jones I think was that guy for all of us?
Speaker 1: Is or somebody today that you're specifically watching for good
Speaker 1: or bad?
Speaker 2: J Grizz, I mean Kershtad, that's the big thing. As
Speaker 2: a prospect guy, I've seen kershtadt.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: One of my best memories of the Arizona Fall League
Speaker 2: was watching hester kershad hit a inside the park home run,
Speaker 2: and then there's this kid cal Conley with the Braves
Speaker 2: who hit one a couple innings later, and there's like
Speaker 2: the first players to ever hit inside the park home
Speaker 2: runs in the same game or whatever it was, or's
Speaker 2: like news about it. Chris has a really interesting prospect.
Speaker 2: He's kind of a trippy dude. He's got an incredible, big, big,
Speaker 2: powerful swing. The guy can run some like he's gonna
Speaker 2: do some damage. And this has more Colton Kowser vibes
Speaker 2: than it does like the Jackson Holiday vibes. This is
Speaker 2: a guy that has had some experience, has absolutely dominated
Speaker 2: this year, has made the adjustments, and he might come
Speaker 2: out hot. And I'm gonna be very curious to see
Speaker 2: where he is in the lineup. I feel like it's
Speaker 2: gonna be six or seven, and I'm ready for him to,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe get a homer in his areer. Let's
Speaker 2: call the shot homer first game, first MLB game, and
Speaker 2: then Edward body goes crazy.
Speaker 1: He's got ten of us. I mean, it's already there. Angelo.
Speaker 1: By the way, of course, Angelo brought this up. Cannoli Day,
Speaker 1: June sixteenth, coming around the corner here. Get ready. It's
Speaker 1: a Sunday though, of course, because Sunday dinner we get
Speaker 1: celebrated on. Can we get some only Cannoly Day any
Speaker 1: day around this show? That's what we like to do.
Speaker 1: One more question, if somebody was asking, what are your
Speaker 1: thoughts on Aaron Judge right now? I actually just talk
Speaker 1: to somebody today who just made a trade for him
Speaker 1: and got him on the cheap. Would you be buying
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge too, because that's another guy too. I can
Speaker 1: feel like the window is there right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel there's a part of me that feels like
Speaker 2: I should pick a few of these like high end
Speaker 2: guys that aren't gonna like work, you know, like Hulio
Speaker 2: Rodriguez and Aaron j But I'm not. I'm not like
Speaker 2: if I get any opportunity to buy on those guys.
Speaker 2: Of anybody, Aaron Judge, of all of them, is one
Speaker 2: of those players. You know, we talked about him in
Speaker 2: the Mike Trout stuff. He's just one of those guys
Speaker 2: that when he finds his rhythm, he's gonna go out nuts.
Speaker 2: I think he's been struggling against lefties, which is like
Speaker 2: really weird thing early on. He's going to start getting
Speaker 2: his rhythm going in the summer and he's going to
Speaker 2: be hitting ten homers a month, and he'll be back.
Speaker 2: I feel confident that he will be back to it.
Speaker 2: So I'm just a buyer in any point of April
Speaker 2: on massive, massive high end fantasy players that are getting
Speaker 2: big discounts.
Speaker 1: And us want guys in the first three four rounds
Speaker 1: who struggle pounce because that's your window. You get lucky
Speaker 1: sometimes early on because people do hyperventially early in the season.
Speaker 1: It's not a good look. But this was a good look,
Speaker 1: fun show today. So we be watching kursedad fingers cross
Speaker 1: hopefully and there hopefully Jackson Holliday starts to turn things
Speaker 1: around too, that would be nice. But we'll be back
Speaker 1: regardless tomorrow for leading off and of course join our
Speaker 1: discord fantcybros dot com s last chat for cleaning up
Speaker 1: right after at one point fifteen, we'll be taking your
Speaker 1: questions and talking to you live here on the discord.
Speaker 1: That'll do it for us. The story of the game
Speaker 1: goes on for the Welsh, I'm Joey P. We'll see
Speaker 1: you next time kids. Oh ticket
