Speaker 2: Acune is out for the season. Best players in baseball,
Speaker 2: that's not good. Julio hasn't recouped. We're losing pictures left
Speaker 2: and right. Prospects stink. I'm doing great. I'm doing great.
Speaker 2: Things are good. I've got I got waxed and bedding yesterday. Okay,
Speaker 2: Top of the morning, Joe.
Speaker 1: I think somebody needs a canoli. That's what I.
Speaker 3: Think I might need a Yeah, it's I'm gonna work.
Speaker 1: For a whole dozen. We get a whole DoD just
Speaker 1: boss on the couch, just just watching scoobl and Jones
Speaker 1: after this, just eating canos.
Speaker 2: I'm also on the opposite end of that right now.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, all right, we're gonna get back
Speaker 2: on it. So now I'm getting back on it. So
Speaker 2: that means no more bad things. So now I have
Speaker 2: no Oh you're on the fittes, so it might be
Speaker 2: extra cranking.
Speaker 1: Ah well that years. Yeah, you know what, pick up smoking.
Speaker 1: I hear people you know that helps a lot to.
Speaker 3: Oh that's really good for the health. You know what,
Speaker 3: good on you.
Speaker 2: Doctors in the fifties said, uh, said, go for it.
Speaker 1: Smoking's good for you. You know, my grandfather smoked for seventy years. Right,
Speaker 1: he's probably smoking since he's like eleven year old, probably right,
Speaker 1: and he just quit Cold Turkey in his eighties, and
Speaker 1: I remember something like how did you you know what?
Speaker 1: He's like, Well, I just decided, you know, my doctor
Speaker 1: said it wasn't good for me. I was like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean you die? Like all of a sudden
Speaker 1: just now you can just heard that now.
Speaker 2: Thirty year gap between doctor visits, like oh, they like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my doctor said it was bad for me. So
Speaker 1: I quit. This is crazy. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: Medicines come a long way. Josh Nayler's come a long
Speaker 1: way too. He's been a little rocky last couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: but he was good against the Rockies yesterday. Oh what
Speaker 1: a segue. That was two homers for him yesterday. Tristan
Speaker 1: McKenzie seasoned high nine strikeouts for him. Jose Ramirez, who
Speaker 1: is better than Barry Bonds. Acquiting to Jose Ramirez, homer
Speaker 1: doubled walked twice. Big day for the Cleveland Guardians. David
Speaker 1: Frye also three for three with a three run homer
Speaker 1: as well. Fry's been really hot here three fifty seven
Speaker 1: ninety two six twenty two seven homers, four steals. What
Speaker 1: do you make of the Fry guy.
Speaker 2: The Fry Guy is the real guy. We talked about
Speaker 2: him a couple of weeks back. We did pick up
Speaker 2: speculative ads you run with that he's been.
Speaker 3: Let me pull this up.
Speaker 2: It's funny because there's a lot of things that you
Speaker 2: unpacked in there that I want to talk about. Josh
Speaker 2: Naylor was being one of them. But on the Naylor side,
Speaker 2: hitting three fifty seven, seven frickin' homers this year almost
Speaker 2: as a higher walk rate than strikeout rate, forty two
Speaker 2: percent hard hit rate. That's higher than last year. Incredibly
Speaker 2: great launching. I mean you can see his plan of attack.
Speaker 2: Hit the ball hard, get it in the air, eighteen
Speaker 2: degree launch angle, which is nuts, with an average exit
Speaker 2: velocity of ninety And the dude is hitting over two
Speaker 2: seventy against all pitch types right now from an expected Sorry,
Speaker 2: he's actually hitting three point fifty. Oh no, it's even better,
Speaker 2: three forty or higher against all pitch types with an
Speaker 2: expected of at least three seventy. So he's not getting beat,
Speaker 2: he's not striking out, he's walking, he's getting ball in
Speaker 2: the air. It seems like it can last. This seems sustainable.
Speaker 2: David Fry as an absolute bye, just like Josh Naylor was.
Speaker 2: Actually wrote him up in uh we have one of
Speaker 2: those like buy sell articles on fantasy pros that dropped today.
Speaker 2: I wrote it yesterday, and then he goes and hits
Speaker 2: two bombs because everything is telling an incredible story for
Speaker 2: Josh Naylor, and he's kind of tough because the homers
Speaker 2: were high before I wrote.
Speaker 3: Before I wrote that up, he already.
Speaker 2: Had thirteen homers, but he was only hitting two twenty nine.
Speaker 2: But he had one of the highest expected batting average
Speaker 2: in his favor great hard hitting out. I mean, everything
Speaker 2: across the board was saying, oh, this doesn't work. And
Speaker 2: by the way, one of the lowest babbabs in all
Speaker 2: of baseball. So Josh Naylor was an absolute bye. It's
Speaker 2: tough to buy him coming off of a two home
Speaker 2: run game, but if people are still sitting on the average,
Speaker 2: I think the best is yet to come for Naylor,
Speaker 2: which might be like an incredibly crazy year.
Speaker 1: One of our peanuts here Elias traded Race Andrew swore
Speaker 1: as for Tyler Glass. Now, well done, That's all I
Speaker 1: can say. I think that's I think that's a win.
Speaker 3: Well that's huge, Joe.
Speaker 2: I want to ask you though, because you and I
Speaker 2: were talking lately off air about the Josh Gibson stuff
Speaker 2: and all the stats being changed. That makes me think
Speaker 2: you hear Jose Ramirez say I'm better than Barry Bonds,
Speaker 2: and I'm just I'm just thinking about, like, you know,
Speaker 2: all the trajectory of baseball.
Speaker 3: Guy like Ramirez say that.
Speaker 1: Oh it's ludicrous. And I love Jose Ramirez. I think
Speaker 1: it's great that Jose Ramirez has the confidence to say that. Good.
Speaker 1: Good for you, big fella. Good for you, big dog.
Speaker 1: I love I love it for you, buddy, Good for you.
Speaker 1: You're adorable. Jose, Jose Ramira is a great player. He's
Speaker 1: an MVP candidate every year. He's not Barry Bonds. He's
Speaker 1: not wrecking the league. Barry Bonds wrecked the league for
Speaker 1: about a decade. It's just it's crazy.
Speaker 2: I watched that video for whatever reason it was on
Speaker 2: my timeline yesterday was when the Diamondbacks walked Barry Bonds
Speaker 2: with the bases loaded, you know, the bottom of the ninth,
Speaker 2: two outs, bases loaded, and they were just like, Nope,
Speaker 2: we're gonna walk Barry Bonds. We're going to put that
Speaker 2: run in, and that was like the first time that
Speaker 2: had ever happened in history. Soon Bonds is also on
Speaker 2: top of my mind. Like I appreciate the confidence, but
Speaker 2: I don't need I mean, of all the players, if
Speaker 2: you were to say, hey, this player or someone says
Speaker 2: this player is better than Barry Bonds, and ain't gonna
Speaker 2: be hot their mirror as it comes up. He's a
Speaker 2: fantastic player. But I don't know, man Bond.
Speaker 1: Should be in the Hall of Fame. I mean again,
Speaker 1: the whole that's a whole other can of orders with
Speaker 1: the st right things and all that stuff. He was
Speaker 1: pretty much a Hall of Fame before. Anyway, It doesn't
Speaker 1: make a difference to me. And there's already guys in
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame who took stel right. So tell
Speaker 1: the story of the era. The era might not be
Speaker 1: a pretty one. But if you're telling the story of
Speaker 1: the era and the best players who played in that era,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't illegal when they were doing it, then
Speaker 1: what's the problem. I don't understand it. I don't abdicate it.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying go out there kids and go you know,
Speaker 1: eat yours and take your steroids about saying that. I'm
Speaker 1: saying Rafael Palmarrow was a great hitter. Rafael Palmaro was
Speaker 1: a great hitter in his era. And you look at
Speaker 1: the other guys that are in the Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: ahead of him, and it's a joke. It is Harry Bonds.
Speaker 1: It's actually interesting Clemens more than me. I hate Roger
Speaker 1: Clemens on so many levels. The levels of hatred I
Speaker 1: have for Roger Clemens are so high. He should be
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame if I had a vote. Oh,
Speaker 1: I can't stand him, the person, the Bravada. I don't
Speaker 1: like anything about the guy, but he's a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, he's one of the
Speaker 1: greatest pitchers ever lived. You can't tell the story of
Speaker 1: baseball from the mid eighties to the early two thousands
Speaker 1: without him. You just can't. So whatever that's not I
Speaker 1: think it's leading off stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, but it's also it's it's a little bit relevant
Speaker 2: with the stuff that's going on right now. You know that,
Speaker 2: you know they're bringing back in with Josh Gibson, everything
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: Like you think about like these you're.
Speaker 2: Talking about eras of baseball, and you think, you know,
Speaker 2: we get into the discussions of Babe Ruth and back
Speaker 2: and it's just like we're doesn't they going to ignore
Speaker 2: these couple players because they were maybe more outwardly known
Speaker 2: to be doing something that everybody inwardly was doing. Is
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. Like I actually completely agree
Speaker 2: we should look at baseball in eras and block it
Speaker 2: out and kind of have like that vision of it.
Speaker 3: And to say that that wasn't.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think we look at the dead
Speaker 1: ball era of baseball and we see it one way.
Speaker 1: I think we look at you know, when we see
Speaker 1: baseball in the fifties and one way, I think.
Speaker 3: But then we're we're cherry picking those eras though you are.
Speaker 1: But I think I think it matters then when you're
Speaker 1: a great hitter in the late sixties, when Bob Gibson
Speaker 1: and all those guys are pitching and thom sever and
Speaker 1: guys are pitching a one eras like I mean before
Speaker 1: they make the change to the mount. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: you look at the eighties in a certain way because
Speaker 1: the game was different, So guys like Mike Schmidt really
Speaker 1: stand out because of the power they had. When guys
Speaker 1: were you know, it was more of a make contact
Speaker 1: steel basses kind of game, and then you get into
Speaker 1: the nineties when it becomes a power game. You have
Speaker 1: to look, you just got to keep it real, Just
Speaker 1: keep it real at the end of the day. And
Speaker 1: I do say the one thing, and we're not going
Speaker 1: to get into this conversation in here because that's again
Speaker 1: the whole other show. But you did mention how MLB
Speaker 1: is moving these stats in from the negro leagues, and
Speaker 1: you know, I am. I love the Ken Burns Baseball
Speaker 1: documentary about the you know, the two sections in the
Speaker 1: a routh the negro leagues are so interesting, and I
Speaker 1: think they took so much pride in creating their own league,
Speaker 1: in their own situation there, and I think in some
Speaker 1: ways it's kind of odd because there were so much
Speaker 1: pride in that being its own separate thing. To then
Speaker 1: put it all together seems an odd choice to me.
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. If that's what's happening, that's what's happening.
Speaker 1: But now that the record books are going all over
Speaker 1: the place, it does now open up the door for
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball to shorten the regular season, add more playoffs,
Speaker 1: and say, record books, schmicker books, let's just play baseball,
Speaker 1: and that could be the beginning of that starting to
Speaker 1: open up the vice a little bit of the old
Speaker 1: school baseball mentality of like everything is gate kept and
Speaker 1: everything is special in every you know, like no, like
Speaker 1: maybe it is going to be a different eraror we're
Speaker 1: moving into because you have to, you have to evolve
Speaker 1: the game. Freddy Peralta, he's been evolving. One earned run,
Speaker 1: eleven strikeouts for Freddy p great performance man, Hunter Brown
Speaker 1: was good. Do you believe that? And Alex Bregman in
Speaker 1: the same game, nine strikeouts for Hunter Brown. Bregman two
Speaker 1: for four with a homer. What's going on? Welsh? Rapaieol
Speaker 1: Debra's four for five? Good night for him. Kevin Polar,
Speaker 1: This is a fun story. So the White Sox released
Speaker 1: Kevin Polar after he goes four for twenty five. Now
Speaker 1: he has been slashing four thirty one, four fifty nine,
Speaker 1: seven fifty nine with five homers and seventeen games for
Speaker 1: the Angels. Do you pick up Kevin Polar? I mean,
Speaker 1: we all know it's not gonna last, but Welsh, it's
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's getting run. It was funny. He was on
Speaker 2: I think he was on foul Territory the day he
Speaker 2: got cut or something like that. It was like he
Speaker 2: was talking about the craziness of why he signed there
Speaker 2: and then he got, you know, cut from the White
Speaker 2: Sox and all this nonsense.
Speaker 3: And he is a solid player.
Speaker 2: I'm you run it while you can, and then you
Speaker 2: move on when you're out. Like Kevin pilar is on
Speaker 2: a little bit of a heater. We've seen some of
Speaker 2: those angels be able to pull up, you know, some
Speaker 2: pretty good production, especially hitting higher in the lineup. I'm
Speaker 2: cool with Paulari right now, but I'm going to have
Speaker 2: a quick trigger finger for sure. And I just wanted
Speaker 2: to mention on Hunter Brown. Lance Brosdowski had brought up
Speaker 2: I have to watch the video. I haven't done it yet,
Speaker 2: but he has this cool video that he's talking about.
Speaker 3: Like in season changes.
Speaker 2: A lot of players in general kind of suffer from
Speaker 2: not doing in season changes. And he was talking about
Speaker 2: pictures George Kirby being one of those that started implementing
Speaker 2: some in season changes and Hunter Brown was one of those.
Speaker 2: And I think what it was in mentioning in his
Speaker 2: short preview video was that Hunter Brown decided to start
Speaker 2: throwing a sinker midway through. He's had massive struggles early
Speaker 2: on in the year, and then because last year he
Speaker 2: barely threw it zero point two percent of the time,
Speaker 2: it's up to almost seven percent of the time. Because
Speaker 2: I think that's the new addition to try to make
Speaker 2: some of these pitches a little bit better, and it's worked.
Speaker 2: You know, this edition of that sinker looks like it
Speaker 2: has helping him kind of rEFInd himself. So it might
Speaker 2: be a half decent by time for Hunter Brown right now.
Speaker 1: It very well might be certainly a time where you
Speaker 1: could pluck him away. I mean he might be on
Speaker 1: waiver wires in the shallow leagues too. Tyler blast Now
Speaker 1: struck out eight two earned runs over seven innings. But
Speaker 1: on the other side, Tyler McGill w or I told
Speaker 1: everybody in the last waiver wire video, Adam pick him up.
Speaker 1: He was really good going into all these rehab starts.
Speaker 1: Nine strikeouts, seven scores against the Dodgers, no decision, but
Speaker 1: against the Dodgers. So McGill's another guy you should be adding,
Speaker 1: all right, let's have some fun here. Juli Rodriguez two
Speaker 1: for four. I think we're gonna be okay. Boys and girls.
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, the slump lasted a little longer
Speaker 1: than we wanted. I don't think it's all his fault.
Speaker 1: He has a zero line of protection there. Get this
Speaker 1: man some protection, please, Jose bre you by the way
Speaker 1: over three with two strikeouts, Welsh, your thoughts, Jose Braio,
Speaker 1: Uh oh, guys, has been very good, very good. Cole
Speaker 1: Reagan's nine hits, three earned five innings. The enigma that
Speaker 1: is Cole Reagan's start to start, Welsh. This is kind
Speaker 1: of when I got into the big fight with Nick
Speaker 1: Pollock in the off season on the show here, this
Speaker 1: was exactly what I was saying. I think Cole Reagan
Speaker 1: is gonna be guy who's kind of have some great starts
Speaker 1: and then some starts where you're kind of scratching your head.
Speaker 1: And you know what, We're two months into the season.
Speaker 1: He's had some great starts and some starts where we're
Speaker 1: kind of scratching our head, and I think that's okay.
Speaker 1: I think the long term projectability is still really interesting.
Speaker 1: He's certainly got all the makings of it. Could be
Speaker 1: a really good front of the rotation starter. But if
Speaker 1: you're gonna be a fantasy ace, if you're gonna be
Speaker 1: you know, drafted and lauded as a guy who's gonna
Speaker 1: carry rotations at the big league level. Consistency is one
Speaker 1: of the things you need the most, and Reagan so
Speaker 1: far hasn't quite found that, but maybe he will as
Speaker 1: the season goes on. Do you think he will?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm gonna bet that he's going to
Speaker 2: I don't want to bet against that in general, that
Speaker 2: you know, he's that it's gonna be kind of lost
Speaker 2: and everything like that. But you know, I'm taking a
Speaker 2: look at this last start to the first start, and
Speaker 2: I feel like I think it was the slider that
Speaker 2: was added. You know, that was the big thing that
Speaker 2: ended up being added to the repertoire, and he had
Speaker 2: a forty percent with rate on it last year. He
Speaker 2: throws five pitches ten percent of the time and that
Speaker 2: hasn't changed, and actually the usage is exactly the same,
Speaker 2: But the slider is wildly ineffective this year, and that
Speaker 2: would be something to break down forty percent with rate
Speaker 2: last year twenty two percent withff rate last year was
Speaker 2: the highest wift pitch. This year, it's the lowest wift
Speaker 2: pitch and in this last start, he threw eight percent
Speaker 2: sliders with his zero percent withft rate. He only had
Speaker 2: whiffs on his change up and fastball. It was two
Speaker 2: pitches plus. He was not in the zone at all.
Speaker 2: I mean thirty eight percent change. I mean not that
Speaker 2: you want to be in the zone with a lot
Speaker 2: of these pitches. Thirteen percent zone rate on his slider.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have his slider, And even though that's a
Speaker 2: low usage pitch, it seems to be kind of adding
Speaker 2: to the inconsistency of him this entire year. The four
Speaker 2: seam fastball has been better, the change.
Speaker 3: Up looks worse. The cutter is a lot worse.
Speaker 2: It's getting hit three eighty five batting average against this year.
Speaker 2: It was two seventy last year. So cutters and sliders
Speaker 2: have similar variants of each other. That pitch, that grip
Speaker 2: is not working for him right now, and it's making
Speaker 2: him less effective with some control issues.
Speaker 3: So what does that mean?
Speaker 2: It's going to be tough for him to be like
Speaker 2: a cy young Ace top ten sp Is he going
Speaker 2: to probably printally be like a solid by Low when
Speaker 2: he struggles? Maybe you're gonna have to know that there's
Speaker 2: some ups and downs with him and some big strikeouts.
Speaker 3: So that's kind of the breakdown.
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe there's mid season changes he can make,
Speaker 2: you know, do something to the slider, stop throwing it,
Speaker 2: stop throwing the cutter.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2: But he hasn't made an end season change, and he's
Speaker 2: been pretty inconsistent, and at least we can kind of
Speaker 2: identify where it is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I said it's the consistency that makes
Speaker 1: you great. It's the difference of you being drafted as
Speaker 1: a top fifteen starter or as a top thirty starter.
Speaker 1: And I think if you're gonna get to that fifteen range,
Speaker 1: you gotta be a consistent guy.
Speaker 3: Would you rather have Reagan's or Jered Jones? Rest of season?
Speaker 2: Knowing Jerry Jones is like I've been throw Skins in there,
Speaker 2: like let's do a well, let's just do a ranking.
Speaker 3: Let's not do the other thing.
Speaker 1: That I say, Jones, Reagan's Skeens still.
Speaker 2: Okay, So Skeen Skeins is at the bottom Skeen Skens,
Speaker 2: but Jones is ahead of Skins.
Speaker 3: Rest of season for.
Speaker 1: Me, yeah, I mean Jones, dude, I mean Joe's has
Speaker 1: been unbelievably good and he has been consistently good. Now,
Speaker 1: I know that train's gonna pull into the station sooner
Speaker 1: than I wanted to. But I think I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: my lumps that way, especially in season long roto where
Speaker 1: I just want that consistency every week and when it
Speaker 1: shuts down, shuts down. But Reagan's going out there being inconsistent.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna hurt me in the long run.
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the put this. I'd rather have the
Speaker 1: incredibly beautiful one hundred and thirty innings or whatever I
Speaker 1: might get one hundred and twenty five innings, then one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty inconsistent things I might get out of
Speaker 1: Reagan's rodod might be different.
Speaker 2: Mike brings up a good question, but I'll alter it
Speaker 2: just a tiny bit. He says, do you sell Reagans
Speaker 2: after the next good start? But the same thing is,
Speaker 2: what are you more likely to do? Sell Reagans after
Speaker 2: the good start or buy him after the bad start?
Speaker 2: Which one are you more team of?
Speaker 1: Wait? Say that one I'm trying to find.
Speaker 3: Would you rather? Yeah, right there?
Speaker 2: Would you rather sell Reagans after a good start or
Speaker 2: buy him on.
Speaker 1: The bad start? That's very zen. Buy him after a
Speaker 1: bad start because you can't have enough pitching. That's my answer.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a good way to put it.
Speaker 2: And like, if you're selling Reagans off of the good start,
Speaker 2: what are you buying because you really don't have enough pitching.
Speaker 2: We can never have enough pitching into this year. So
Speaker 2: what is the thing that you end up buying from him?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, Yeah, I hear you, all right, let's
Speaker 1: continue on the three up and three down. Gavin Stone
Speaker 1: seven strikeout, seven shutout innings yesterday against the metsis Max
Speaker 1: Freed eight shutout innings, not to be outdone, striking out six,
Speaker 1: and Matt Waldron struck out eight Tuesday four nothing shout out,
Speaker 1: but it was the Marrow. But three down bisn Stott,
Speaker 1: who's always been an up and down, streaky guy. He
Speaker 1: went on for four. He's in one of those rough
Speaker 1: patches right now again. Grayson Rodriguez four runs, seven hits.
Speaker 1: He's been a little spotty since returning from the injury.
Speaker 1: Do you think he's one hundred percent Welsh?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Everybody goes to the injury thing. I'm not sure, Like
Speaker 2: I don't, I don't. I guess I don't blame it
Speaker 2: one hundred percent on injuries, but maybe that is because
Speaker 2: it's like, why he's got a little six dos inchees
Speaker 2: in him? Why do we have these like bad starts
Speaker 2: to games and then he just ends up striking out ten. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't I don't one hundred percent understand that. Maybe
Speaker 2: that is a part of an injury and maybe but
Speaker 2: also like he shown some inconsistencies before as well, So
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't blame it on injury, but
Speaker 2: there is something there that I'm not in love with.
Speaker 1: Hector Naris blew a save again the second of the season.
Speaker 1: That's happened to him yesterday as well. So those were
Speaker 1: the downs. Let's get to the injuries. Josh Young has
Speaker 1: been cleared to resume swinging a bat, so that's positive.
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor has a boobo on his fingo. He a
Speaker 1: weft index fingo contusion on his widow finga, so we
Speaker 1: have very By the way I saw in the social
Speaker 1: media is that Anthony Rendon just bought a six and
Speaker 1: a half million dollar house for him and his wife,
Speaker 1: his new wife or whatever. I guess he got married recently.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just saw this. I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's a nice house. They had the pictures of the house.
Speaker 3: He's at time. He's just been.
Speaker 1: Good life.
Speaker 3: That job.
Speaker 1: I'd like him to write a biography called Living on
Speaker 1: the i L. It's just like what it was like
Speaker 1: not playing professional baseball.
Speaker 3: No, that's the title, what it was like not playing professional.
Speaker 1: But it's got that's like the that's the like it
Speaker 1: was like Anthony Rendon's Living on the i L or
Speaker 1: maybe a reality show.
Speaker 2: I like the idea too of him. Oh man, he
Speaker 2: is definitely like an.
Speaker 1: His wife's like please, I just wish he was get
Speaker 1: healthy so he would go play bass.
Speaker 3: Go and go out of here.
Speaker 2: And he's like now he's like playing video games. I
Speaker 2: like the idea of him, like sitting in like a
Speaker 2: big leather bound chair and you know, leg over a
Speaker 2: leg and he's smoking a pipe and he's like, let
Speaker 2: me tell you about how I got paid. The greatest
Speaker 2: con was my baseball career.
Speaker 1: Lewis Robert did a homer yesterday, another minor league rehab
Speaker 1: assignmon to triple A. X rays were negative on Big
Speaker 1: Vinnie Pasquentino and his leg. Garrett Cole is going to
Speaker 1: face hitters tomorrow. Now tomorrow. Also on the show, Scott
Speaker 1: Bogman will be back. I'm helping mom again. Other doctor's appointment,
Speaker 1: so I will be out about tomorrow. So Bogman will
Speaker 1: be back, but we'll have prospecting with the Welsh. Everything
Speaker 1: will be there. Uh, Garrett Cole again, so we'll keep
Speaker 1: in a close eye on that.
Speaker 3: See Garrett Coller, Cole Wagan's rest of the season.
Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's his arm is attached to his body as
Speaker 1: far as I know.
Speaker 3: Okay, but trade Cole Reagan or trade Garrett Cole?
Speaker 1: Right we are, we are getting closer and closer to
Speaker 1: that window.
Speaker 2: Would you trade Garrett Cole for Cole Wagans right now?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: Zero chill, zero hesitation there. Michael Impost says therehould be
Speaker 1: a thirty for thirty on REND. I totally watched that.
Speaker 1: I would totally watch, like some sort of documentary about him,
Speaker 1: might think would be a fantastic Uh. Max Munsey obleak
Speaker 1: out again. Baseball activities. Mike Trout, by the way, is
Speaker 1: running on a treadmill, So that's exciting. Do you think
Speaker 1: he's doing one of those things? Like you know they
Speaker 1: have these uh you know, likes on path. You know,
Speaker 1: I give these things now, you know, like the Lord
Speaker 1: of the Rings walk where you get metals. I feel
Speaker 1: like Trout might be doing one of those things you think,
Speaker 1: oh do is that like the it's not a peloton thing,
Speaker 1: but they know these things now where you know you
Speaker 1: can walk and earn medals and you're like walking through
Speaker 1: more door, you're walking through the shire, or you're doing
Speaker 1: like Harry Potter walks and stuff like it's to get
Speaker 1: nerds out of the house. What I want him to
Speaker 1: get the nerds out of the house at all.
Speaker 2: I want a special Mike Trout version and it's like
Speaker 2: every thirty seconds. It goes game one of the MLB
Speaker 2: season and he runs to one hundred and sixty two
Speaker 2: games and that's what he's chasing on the treadmill every
Speaker 2: single time. It'll be motivation. Get to one sixty two, Mike,
Speaker 2: you can do it.
Speaker 1: There you go. Besides by Trout, Nolan Jones progressing towards
Speaker 1: running the bases, Yes, I don't believe you. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: him and all of the kids. You know, when they
Speaker 1: got the kids run the bases after the game, no
Speaker 1: one knock some of the kids down. That's my trying
Speaker 1: to road second base. Royce Lewis played seven innings at
Speaker 1: third base, so he's getting close. Maybe this weekend figures crossed.
Speaker 1: Who knows. The Giants put LaMonte Wade on the ten
Speaker 1: day al with a hamstring and Rhys Hoskins is also
Speaker 1: running on the field, so we'll see. Maybe maybe Han
Speaker 1: Nolan Jones could do a little race. What do you think, Welsh?
Speaker 3: I think Nolan would win that. I think Nolan I
Speaker 3: do too.
Speaker 1: I agree, Welsh, let's race two. Today's bets of the day.
Speaker 1: What do you say? Because it's Wednesday and I'm feeling lucky.
Speaker 1: So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, it's time for
Speaker 1: the best bets of the day with Joey p and
Speaker 1: the Welsh. Make sure you are placing all of your
Speaker 1: bets over on bet three six five bet five bucks,
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifty and bonus bets when you
Speaker 1: use the promo code leading off again that promo code
Speaker 1: leading off at bet three six five, and don't forget
Speaker 1: eighteen year over. In Kentucky gambling problem called one hundred
Speaker 1: gambler or one hundred bets off in Iowa terms, and
Speaker 1: conditions apply. Those are very specific places where you have
Speaker 1: those terms in condition. Now today, well, I'll let you
Speaker 1: go first. I feel like I'm always going first lately,
Speaker 1: So why don't you take the people through your bets
Speaker 1: of the day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, please let me go first after the.
Speaker 1: Streak, because yesterday you said you were complaining. What do
Speaker 1: you feel good about? Today?
Speaker 2: It was an absolute demolishing of yesterday, Cole Reagan's being
Speaker 2: a part of that. Of course, Yankees could have salvaged something,
Speaker 2: and then they lost towards him. It was just a
Speaker 2: disaster of a day. So we're going to pick it
Speaker 2: back up. I will not shy away from my first fives, though,
Speaker 2: do not tell.
Speaker 3: Me to shy away.
Speaker 2: I will still go back, and I am doing it
Speaker 2: with a couple games and a couple pitching matchups that
Speaker 2: I really like.
Speaker 3: The Chicago Cubs first.
Speaker 2: Five to be up by a run, not money line
Speaker 2: to be up by a run, because the money line
Speaker 2: is a little too high. But for some reason, you
Speaker 2: can find the run line through the first five at
Speaker 2: a pretty good number minus one ten for the Chicago Cubs.
Speaker 2: Shota Managa backing him against the Milwaukee Brewers. Next up,
Speaker 2: the New York Yankees first five run line, so up
Speaker 2: by a run through the first five. That one is
Speaker 2: juiced up a little bit more. Louise Heal. Now, I
Speaker 2: wanted to take some more bets on him, but we
Speaker 2: really truly don't know what is the backing off of
Speaker 2: Louis hel gonna end up looking like. So this is
Speaker 2: kind of the first this is literally the first game
Speaker 2: after those comments, so we'll see what that looks like.
Speaker 2: I'm going to bank on a strong five from him
Speaker 2: and them not losing back to back. I mean, I
Speaker 2: guess they could still win and not take the first five,
Speaker 2: but we're gonna go up by a run with Louis Heal.
Speaker 2: And then on the strikeouts, I've got a strikeout parlay
Speaker 2: Corbin Burns and Louis Heal. I'm going alternate strikeouts at six.
Speaker 3: Both of them are over six today.
Speaker 2: If you go six plus for Heel and Burns, you
Speaker 2: get minus one fifteen. And I will tell you if
Speaker 2: you want to do the six six six parlay. That parlay,
Speaker 2: you could find it with Shota Imanaga and then you
Speaker 2: would get if you did him plus six, she would
Speaker 2: then get like plus one sixty.
Speaker 3: So that those are my bets.
Speaker 2: Of the day if I I mean, I didn't go
Speaker 2: with the sixty six to six partly, but I'm saying,
Speaker 2: if you wanted to show to his out Mack of
Speaker 2: the Beast, there you go, Mack of the Beast, part
Speaker 2: lock of the Beast.
Speaker 1: All right for me, I'm like that here with Seth Lugo,
Speaker 1: who's been really strong lately, very strong, actually better than
Speaker 1: I could even imagine. He started off slow this year,
Speaker 1: even though he's winning games at the strikeout rate was
Speaker 1: way low. All of a sudden, he has been electric
Speaker 1: lately on the money line. Give me the Canceller Royals
Speaker 1: plus one seventeen at Minnesota on the road against Bailey
Speaker 1: over going back to the Yankees again, I don't care
Speaker 1: if it didn't work out yesterday. So louis heel on
Speaker 1: the mountain? Now? Interesting enough you mentioned him. I wrote
Speaker 1: him up as my players to sell this week on
Speaker 1: fantasypros dot com. So go check out the feature pros
Speaker 1: that we do every single week there by low sell high.
Speaker 1: I just think you're at your zenith right now with him.
Speaker 1: And I'm using a big word because Wonky Penguin got
Speaker 1: me that toilet paper of the day with the words
Speaker 1: in it, So I'm learning a new word. So Zenith
Speaker 1: was today, So yeah, I'm going to be backing the
Speaker 1: Yankees again on the run line minus one and a
Speaker 1: half at one oh five minus one oh five. It's
Speaker 1: a good number. They are getting to beat the Angels.
Speaker 1: So they lost yesterday, that's okay, we bounce back, we
Speaker 1: go play today, we go right back at it. And
Speaker 1: Ryan Pepio is on the mound against the Oakland A's
Speaker 1: team that strikes out a lot. Pepio has been really good.
Speaker 1: Give me the Rays on the run line at home
Speaker 1: against Oakland minus one and a half at plus money
Speaker 1: plus one twenty. And then for the parlay of the
Speaker 1: day with showta Imanaka on the mound, here, give me
Speaker 1: the Cubs minus one forty two on the money line,
Speaker 1: the Yankees minus one ninety eight on the money line,
Speaker 1: the Rays minus one ninety on the money line. Again,
Speaker 1: we're just winning games. To put those three together plus
Speaker 1: two ninety one, almost three to one, you're tripling up
Speaker 1: your money today. So that is my same game parlay
Speaker 1: of actually not the same game. That is just my
Speaker 1: parlay of the day, different games. Couldn't find anything I
Speaker 1: liked in the same game today, so I said, you
Speaker 1: know what, screw it, Let's just pick my three favorites
Speaker 1: to win. And that's what I'm doing. And those, my friends,
Speaker 1: are the best bets of the day. Don't forget to
Speaker 1: download the Betting Pros app. Start getting smarter, not harder.

Speaker 1: for the journey, and those my friends are the best
Speaker 1: bets of the day. Now, Welsh, I know we got
Speaker 1: Scooble on the mound already. He's already got three strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Someone told me, so that's really interesting.
Speaker 3: Not Jared Jones.
Speaker 2: Jared Jones getting hit up a little bit, a couple
Speaker 2: of runs in the first inning.
Speaker 1: That's fine. I am undaunted.
Speaker 2: Did you know, by the way, I believe this is
Speaker 2: the first inning? Someone correct me. But the nurfy for
Speaker 2: this game was over.
Speaker 3: Minus two ten. It was minus two ten. I saw
Speaker 3: some minus one.
Speaker 2: Eighties on the board, and I believe I didn't have
Speaker 2: the scoreboard up here. Yeah, it is the bottom of
Speaker 2: the first inning. That absolutely demolished. That is a true
Speaker 2: test by the way of like Nurfe's and their craziness.
Speaker 2: As far as betting, this could still go under through
Speaker 2: the first five yet Jared Jones blown up in the
Speaker 2: first inning for two runs, killing all your minus two
Speaker 2: ten nurfhy bets.
Speaker 1: Now, after the show today, we are going to be
Speaker 1: on Discord. I think I'll be there. I think Fantasypros
Speaker 1: dot Com slast chat Discord is a place to be
Speaker 1: to join us for our show after the show cleaning up.
Speaker 1: We take your questions. So if you want to watch
Speaker 1: baseball with us, talk about something, got trade, you got,

Speaker 1: on us. We're here for you. Fencebros. Dot Com, slash
Speaker 1: cleaning Up, It's gonna take you right there, or just
Speaker 1: go join the Discord. Look the Baseball channel for it.
Speaker 1: Well see if my mic works. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it will, Welsh, I don't feel like it's ever going
Speaker 1: to and I don't understand why. Is it because I
Speaker 1: have to start the stage. Do you have to start
Speaker 1: the stage? Is I have to?
Speaker 3: I don't know, Sage. You just call me and tell
Speaker 3: me when you're there, I'll start the stage.
Speaker 2: I don't know it hates Joe, but it is become
Speaker 2: one of my love children. Of like going into that
Speaker 2: room and seeing if the little green box shows up
Speaker 2: around your voice.
Speaker 3: Guess what, here's a tip.
Speaker 1: But I see them. I'm gonna get myself in trouble.
Speaker 1: But I see on Discord when you're talking the little
Speaker 1: box that you're in it blinks.
Speaker 3: My box because you can hear me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see my box blinking, But you can't see
Speaker 1: that my blinking box.
Speaker 3: No you've got your box hidden.
Speaker 1: No, it's out there for everybody to see it. It's blinking.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it is.
Speaker 3: I don't know you need to share your box.
Speaker 1: See it's vibrating, it's blinking. It's all the way out.
Speaker 1: I don't understand.
Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna find out in like ten minutes.
Speaker 1: Let's look at the home run board, all right, Paz,
Speaker 1: He's still at the top of twenty one. Our boy
Speaker 1: South African g is at twenty bows and Hose at eighteen,
Speaker 1: along with be Trot at eighteen. I'm still holding there
Speaker 1: at seventeen. Rough day for Homers Yesterday I'm mad because
Speaker 1: yesterday Welsh I wanted to take joseer mirrors was my
Speaker 1: second choice, and he hit a home run. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna show Barry Bonds, I mean Jose Ramira some respect,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go Jose Ramirez today instead. So his
Speaker 1: numbers against left handed pitching this year three twenty eight,
Speaker 1: three ninety one, six thirty nine, ten thirty. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: go give me Jose Ramirez today. Welsh, where are you
Speaker 1: going for your home run call of the day?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Vladdie Daddy, as he has
Speaker 2: not been getting the ball in the air. He has
Speaker 2: been hitting it better. Going up against Chris Fleck, I
Speaker 2: wanted to take if I liked any white sock. If
Speaker 2: Robert was back, I would have probably taken him up
Speaker 2: against Alec Manoa. Uh, probably gonna be a lot of
Speaker 2: homers in this one. One point five home run per
Speaker 2: nine for Flexen, two for Alec Manoa. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: play Vladdie Junior and just see. I mean, I'm fading away.
Speaker 2: I'm like four homers away from getting on that board.
Speaker 2: Wonky's there. Just don't know if it's gonna happen. I
Speaker 2: think that the bet of will Welsh make the board
Speaker 2: or Joe be off the podcast. It's not feeling like
Speaker 2: it's a luck. I think the odds are changing. The
Speaker 2: odds are moving from like, hey, you know plus whatever
Speaker 2: for Joe to be gone to maybe minus money.
Speaker 1: Look, if you want to keep us around all the
Speaker 1: time and you want more of this, it's an easy
Speaker 1: way to do it. Tell all your friends share the
Speaker 1: show to hey, I got this great show. Put on
Speaker 1: your social media's. Put it on your ex'es and your
Speaker 1: instagrams and your facebooking and all the things that you
Speaker 1: do put on you put on the social media's. I've
Speaker 1: got the I've got the Twitter book, and I got
Speaker 1: the tweet talk. I get the tweet talk. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that does.
Speaker 2: But do you have your own TikTok? By the way, yeah,
Speaker 2: I have my own TikTok. I know you like like
Speaker 2: a Joe, because I know you do TikTok for like
Speaker 2: fantasy pros, because.
Speaker 1: I am a TikTok influencer.
Speaker 2: How often do you TikTok just enough that I see?
Speaker 1: The trick is to not tick too much, but talk enough.
Speaker 2: You get to talk a little while not ticking too much.
Speaker 2: By the way, in our community. Super Dave came in.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this in the comments earlier,
Speaker 2: literally was like this is a testament to our community.
Speaker 3: He says, like, He's like, I barely have.
Speaker 2: The volume on for the show and I'm in the
Speaker 2: chat and it's just like, okay, I guess that's a compliment.
Speaker 1: We could just leave a chat up and then you
Speaker 1: and I, you know, don't even have to give the show.
Speaker 2: We could like you could freeze, like ore, both of
Speaker 2: our cameras could freeze or something like that, and people
Speaker 2: be fine.
Speaker 1: All right, So your boys pitching today also for Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Any parting thoughts on him before we go? And he expected.
Speaker 2: Schwellenbach well back, Yeah, I mean expectations.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's a pretty low k number. I actually feel like
Speaker 2: that might be it's just super juice. It was like
Speaker 2: three and a half strikeouts. It's like minus one eighty.
Speaker 2: I think it's a decent shot here. I've also seen
Speaker 2: I mean, Washington's tough though, you know that's that like
Speaker 2: they walk, they.
Speaker 3: Don't like to strike out a whole bunch. That's also
Speaker 3: why that number is down. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it is a streamable play here. I do
Speaker 2: think it is a streamable play. If you're not, you know,
Speaker 2: a little bit of worry of your ratios, but decent
Speaker 2: chance he could go five and just might not.
Speaker 3: Put up a whole bunch of other stuff.
Speaker 1: Alec Manoa's on the mound today, lots of fun stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm sure tomorrow will be a great show. Plus tomorrow
Speaker 1: on the show at everybody's favorite, get excited, prospecting with
Speaker 1: the Welsh will be back, so Welsh will have his
Speaker 1: prospects ready and Bogman will be here hanging out. That'll
Speaker 1: do it for us, but 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. Join us right now live on
Speaker 1: Cleaning Up on Discord. Go be there. Great
