Speaker 1: The return of Verlander. Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody
Speaker 1: in a fantasy pros this he is leading off. It
Speaker 1: is me, Joey Pa, Joe Pizipia with me on a
Speaker 1: Monday morning. It's Scott Bogman. The Welsh is off today.
Speaker 1: He had some kind of real life work kind of conflict.
Speaker 1: Loser anyway, come on, what kind of nonsense is that?
Speaker 1: But we're working here for you. After a great weekend
Speaker 1: of baseball, We've got a lot of news and notes
Speaker 1: to break down. Scott Bogman, the holiday is done. Did
Speaker 1: you have the holiday?
Speaker 2: Ham?
Speaker 1: What'd you guys do on Easter?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Now that I live in Texas, I have a lot
Speaker 3: of extended family around here, so yeah, we went.
Speaker 2: Over to my aunt's house, had a big old thing.
Speaker 3: Lots of kids run around finding Easter eggs and me,
Speaker 3: you know, shoveling down a bunch of food down my gullet.
Speaker 3: So great time, and already the peanuts and crackerjacks are
Speaker 3: at it.
Speaker 1: They say Welsh decided to skip today, to skip the
Speaker 1: Buckston ridicule. Oh no he didn't. We mightn't. It's coming, Shoe,
Speaker 1: It's coming on this show.
Speaker 3: It's coming on it. Tl Uh, it's gonna happen everywhere,
Speaker 3: so I'm just he will he will hear the wrath
Speaker 3: of everyone, so don't don't even worry about that.
Speaker 1: Well, look, the good news is he seems positive about
Speaker 1: the injury. Not Welsh Byron Buxton. I don't really care it.
Speaker 1: Welsh things Bucks and seems okay. So major crisis averted,
Speaker 1: and we all want Byron Buckston to be healthy. We
Speaker 1: want him playing. He's an exciting player. It's good for
Speaker 1: the Twins, it's good for fantasy, it's good for just
Speaker 1: general wellness of the Welsh. I mean, it's just good
Speaker 1: period for Byron Bucks to be healthy. So we all
Speaker 1: want him to be Hopefully this is a blip on
Speaker 1: the radar and he avoided something and we can go
Speaker 1: forward and have a nice season and have nice things.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the headlines. Rond Akunya starts his rehab
Speaker 1: assignment Tuesday.
Speaker 2: What up.
Speaker 1: That's very exciting. Right on. Josh Hater saves his one
Speaker 1: hundredth game. Congratulations to him. You Darbis struck out eight
Speaker 1: in a dominant victory yesterday, so obviously the shortest start
Speaker 1: of his career.
Speaker 2: On the radar.
Speaker 3: I mean the amount of panic after that second start.
Speaker 3: I was like, guys, he had like six no hit
Speaker 3: innings in his first start, and now we're gonna be
Speaker 3: upset that he gave up a bunch of runs and
Speaker 3: his next like it's his second start of the year
Speaker 3: in a year where everyone had to show up late.
Speaker 2: Let's calm it down a little bit. So glad to.
Speaker 1: And we talked about on Friday, you and I we
Speaker 1: talked about you darbish and said, this is this is
Speaker 1: your window by low now because the man he has
Speaker 1: another good start, it's out the window. Guess what's over.
Speaker 1: So the only guy left now is Freddy Peralta.
Speaker 3: STORRT next week, so it'll it'll happen. Don't worry about that,
Speaker 3: all right?
Speaker 1: Speaking of bad, how about Zach Wheeler tech for seven
Speaker 1: runs by the Marlins of velocity Concerns there. I told
Speaker 1: you he was my biggest fade going into the season.
Speaker 1: People kept asking me with the black Book, why do
Speaker 1: you have Zach Wheeler is so low in the RPV rankings.
Speaker 1: I said, because I'm concerned because whenever somebody says I'm
Speaker 1: dealing with his shoulder issue going into the season, it's
Speaker 1: a huge red flag. Yeah, and I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 1: the Philly rotation cannot sustain. So if you have shares
Speaker 1: of Philadelphia Philly, you know, like winning the division kind
Speaker 1: of shares, I'd be a little concern right now because
Speaker 1: if Wheeler is missing any extended time. Now, look, he's
Speaker 1: not on the IL yet, but the concerns are there.
Speaker 1: So Zach Wheeler is not a guy I'm buying low on.
Speaker 1: In fact, if you can get out from Zach Wheeler,
Speaker 1: now is the time. What are your thoughts on this
Speaker 1: whole bad outing, velocity down situation with.
Speaker 3: Him going to take that you know, Philly's rotation as
Speaker 3: a whole, with a grain of salt coming from the
Speaker 3: Mets fan here. But I am concerned about zach Uel
Speaker 3: for sure. So and it's the velocity tip. I think
Speaker 3: they said he's averaging like ninety one point seven or
Speaker 3: that was his lowest fastball and he never had one
Speaker 3: lower than that last year. I mean, the velocity is
Speaker 3: just way down. He's averaging ninety five. He's down a
Speaker 3: ninety four point three and even in his first start
Speaker 3: this season, even below that in his second starts. This
Speaker 3: looks like something he's going to have to get straightened
Speaker 3: out on the il, whether it's shut him down for
Speaker 3: a month waiting for the shoulder recovery and see where
Speaker 3: we're at after that or whatever.
Speaker 2: It just does not look good.
Speaker 3: So it's a tough time to sell right now because
Speaker 3: he's so low. So I don't know if I would
Speaker 3: get on that bandwagon quite yet. I think I'd wanted
Speaker 3: to put together at least two good starts, but right now,
Speaker 3: with the shoulder thing, I don't know if we're even
Speaker 3: getting that. So it's it's tough to know what to
Speaker 3: do right now. But there's just no chance I am
Speaker 3: going to trade him at his lowest value, which I
Speaker 3: believe is right now.
Speaker 1: All right, speaking of my loser Mets, who are actually
Speaker 1: in first place. I saw something, and I've been watching
Speaker 1: baseball for forty years. I've never seen this in my
Speaker 1: entire life, where there was an appeal call at third base.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this because it was
Speaker 1: against the Diamonbacks. I don't know if you saw this
Speaker 1: highlight or not. Of course, I had to be Oliver Perez.
Speaker 1: All the crazy, oh things that always have surrounded Oliver
Speaker 1: Perez in his twenty year career.
Speaker 3: The league for one hundred years. Yeah, so he's gonna
Speaker 3: see some crazy stuff.
Speaker 1: But there was an appeal play at third base that
Speaker 1: Dominic Smith left too early to tag Gubin's core. It
Speaker 1: was not the case, but Oliver Perez steps off the
Speaker 1: mound then goes to throw to third base, and in
Speaker 1: the meantime JD. Davis, who is not special, but this
Speaker 1: was a very special moment here for him, made his
Speaker 1: move from first base to second because basically giving himself
Speaker 1: up saying, hey, if you take me and take the out,
Speaker 1: you can't appeal the run. And instead, Oliver Perez gets
Speaker 1: confused and I rightfully so goes, what's this guy going?
Speaker 1: I just dtepped off the mound. I don't want to
Speaker 1: say what's happening. He has to stop and go, oh,
Speaker 1: I need to make sure I throw a third base
Speaker 1: first to get that appeal. He does, The appeal is
Speaker 1: he is safe, didn't leave to early.
Speaker 2: JD.
Speaker 1: Davis ends up stealing a base. This is why you
Speaker 1: have managers like Buck Showalter round because I'm telling you
Speaker 1: this was absolutely a relay from Buck to the first
Speaker 1: base coach. Making sure that I've never seen this in
Speaker 1: forty years of baseball. It was stunning. It was cool
Speaker 1: to see. I like when I see things never saw
Speaker 1: I've seen Nestor very good. Yeah I did.
Speaker 2: I did see that.
Speaker 3: But I'm glad you told me what was happening because
Speaker 3: I remember it was with the sound off and I
Speaker 3: was in someone's house, going, what.
Speaker 1: Is happening right now?
Speaker 3: I'm trying to find it on Twitter and I could.
Speaker 3: I couldn't find it immediately. It was so bizarre to
Speaker 3: go back to look. But yeah, that was definitely strange.
Speaker 3: So you're right, all right, Mike as a.
Speaker 2: Walk off bulk, I've seen one of those before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that I've seen. We've seen that before. Mike
Speaker 1: trout day to day after X rays negative on his hands.
Speaker 1: So my home run guy got hurt. So I've been
Speaker 1: jinxed there, but I got feel good about my pick tonight.
Speaker 1: So stay tuned for that.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: Nestor Cortez with twelve and a no decision versus the Orioles. Uh.
Speaker 1: He was tremendous. He also had an immaculate inning. Mike Mayor,
Speaker 1: who's under the weather, wanted me to make sure that
Speaker 1: I threw that out there the.
Speaker 3: Blue Jays, But but I hang it out. I'm invested
Speaker 3: in Nestor. I've got I've got him roster on a
Speaker 3: couple spots. So very happy to see that twelve k'se.
Speaker 1: It was so it was the Orioles. But still he's
Speaker 1: got a funky delivery. He's tough. It's tough to pick
Speaker 1: up the ball. I mean, Nester Cortez is somebody that
Speaker 1: the Yankees desh really need somebody to step up on
Speaker 1: that rotation. So yeah, if Cortel's indeed that guy, that's
Speaker 1: positive the Blue Jays are gonna be without Rio and
Speaker 1: their rotation ten day, I offer him. But Alec Manoa
Speaker 1: with six yesterday against the A's, they have won seventeen
Speaker 1: of his first twenty one big league starts. How about that,
Speaker 1: Alec Manoa.
Speaker 2: That's like that.
Speaker 1: I mean he's like picked that up this morning. It's
Speaker 1: like a.
Speaker 3: Rabbit's foot, you know, He's like, get on out there, Alec,
Speaker 3: We're probably winning this game seventy five percent of the time.
Speaker 3: That's crazy. That's like Tom Brady stats in Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, you know what you do? Yeah,
Speaker 1: every time Alec manoa' is on the mountd you just
Speaker 1: at the Blue Jays, no further notice, Like, just if
Speaker 1: you do that, you know five on that one, you
Speaker 1: just do the full game.
Speaker 2: Let's go full game, Just go all right.
Speaker 1: Next on our list, here was the Corey Seeger intentional walk.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this over the weekend,
Speaker 1: but he was intentionally walked by Joe Madden with the
Speaker 1: bases loaded. And I love Joe Madden. I've defended Joe
Speaker 1: Madden's wackiness over the years. Corey Seeger is not a
Speaker 1: guy that I'm walking with the basis loaded. I don't care.
Speaker 1: And I know they ended up winning this game, so
Speaker 1: ended up being a mood point. Mike Trout's reaction in
Speaker 1: the outfield was pretty hilarious to this. But Box, this
Speaker 1: is what you do with Barry Bonds. This is what
Speaker 1: you do with maybe Juan Soto or somebody like that.
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball now.
Speaker 3: Will remember Brenley was the guy to do. Was a
Speaker 3: Briendley or Buck I can't even remember now. It might
Speaker 3: have been Bucked, but one of those. It was a
Speaker 3: diamondbackspanasuer that was the first to walk Barry Bonds with
Speaker 3: the basis I.
Speaker 1: Think it was Buck, Yeah, I think it was thin.
Speaker 3: It was so nineteen ninety nine a year easy with
Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks for those of you that aren't living in
Speaker 3: my brain. So yeah, year two of the Diamondbacks franchise,
Speaker 3: I believe because that was when, you know, ninety eight
Speaker 3: was when McGuire and so so we're going nuts, and
Speaker 3: then Bonds came after that, you know, after he caught
Speaker 3: up to those guys. We'll just say that it might
Speaker 3: have been Brendley also in fairness, because that happened more
Speaker 3: than one.
Speaker 2: Occasion it but I remember the very first time it happened.
Speaker 3: People were losing their minds about it that I can
Speaker 3: remember it happening, and it was Bonds in his prime,
Speaker 3: Corey Seeger in the middle of April.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's definitely a weird move.
Speaker 1: By the way, we are eliminating the segment of the
Speaker 1: Daily Kwan until further notice because it wasn't enough Kwan.
Speaker 1: So I'm sorry everybody, Well hang in there, but can
Speaker 1: we talk about this. This was so much fun. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you caught this, but the U some
Speaker 1: guys got dressed up in Seattle as the nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: five Mariners team. So it's a guy dressed up like
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson. The tallest friend had the mullet hair. There
Speaker 1: was a guy dressed up as Jay Bunior had the
Speaker 1: bald head and the Oakley's. There was a Ken Griffey
Speaker 1: junior guy, and they all showed up to the game
Speaker 1: together and they sat in a row. I gotta say,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. That's all. That's very awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's very good. I like it.
Speaker 3: You know, anytime anytime we can get a group of
Speaker 3: people going to a baseball game. Yeah, that's themed. I
Speaker 3: like that. That's enjoying. Like, you know what, that's a
Speaker 3: dad joke I can take right there. Yeah, it's clever.
Speaker 3: It's not one of Joe's dumb puns.
Speaker 1: So that I like, all right, what do you think
Speaker 1: of this Japanese pitcher Rokie Sazaka. He followed up a
Speaker 1: nineteen strikeout perfect game with eight perfect innings at his
Speaker 1: next start and was pulled because he was at one
Speaker 1: hundred and two pitches. So he was in the eighth inning,
Speaker 1: one hundred and two pitches and pulled. How about that one?
Speaker 1: I mean, kershe how about that?
Speaker 3: Is anyone surprised by this stuff? Like in any league
Speaker 3: they even have a bigger rotation in Japan too, Usually
Speaker 3: they have six man rotations. So but it's not surprising
Speaker 3: the guy just threw a perfect game. You want to
Speaker 3: keep that guy healthy. The best player on your team, clearly,
Speaker 3: you want to keep that guy healthy. So if you
Speaker 3: put him at A they probably let him max out
Speaker 3: for his nineteen strikeout perfect game and said all right,
Speaker 3: well we're pulling you, like, you know, at one hundred
Speaker 3: at the very most next game, and then he was
Speaker 3: still perfect, They're like, all right, we'll give you like
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten. So when he gets to one
Speaker 3: hundred and eight, they're like, sorry, man, we got to
Speaker 3: you know, you can't have three hundred pitches on this
Speaker 3: guy's arm in two games. So I'm not that surprised
Speaker 3: that this is the way that's happening. Am I disappointed?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to see a guy go out there
Speaker 3: and throw back back perfect games and everything, but I mean,
Speaker 3: come on, you don't want to ruin his career. You
Speaker 3: don't want to Edwin Jackson this guy, So now you know,
Speaker 3: let's uh, let's talk.
Speaker 2: I actually saw him on this weekend. He was there
Speaker 2: talking about great. I love hearing him talk and everything
Speaker 2: but I mean A J.
Speaker 3: Hants absolutely ruined that guy's career by letting throw hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty pitches, So you know you can't do that
Speaker 3: stuff anymore.
Speaker 2: Gotta be Sparner.
Speaker 1: Speaking of starting pitchers, the one O seven E ra
Speaker 1: by the Mets starting rotation is the best ten games
Speaker 1: start to the season since the advent of the earned
Speaker 1: run in nineteen thirteen. And ty Lore this is what
Speaker 1: terrible is on the mound tonight.
Speaker 2: What do you think of that?
Speaker 3: This is all without de gram? So this is without
Speaker 3: da I know this is.
Speaker 1: Nuts, right Peterson yesterday?
Speaker 3: Now let's go over who are the who are this
Speaker 3: series they played? Because I know the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1: Was won the Nationals, the Phillies and the Diamondbacks, so okay,
Speaker 1: they have not played baseball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the Phillies lineup is so those are Obviously
Speaker 3: you don't like their rotation.
Speaker 2: You told us they're all gonna crumb. No, but the
Speaker 2: lineup is good. Yeah, but the lineup is strong.
Speaker 3: So it's it's a surprising stat This is what you
Speaker 3: get when you have a weird spring training followed after
Speaker 3: two weird spring trainings in a row.
Speaker 2: So it's true.
Speaker 3: Whack I'm surprised more whack job stuff hasn't happened.
Speaker 2: So all right, you know, congrats Mets.
Speaker 1: Congrats Mets. It don't worry. It won't last box No
Speaker 1: good things ever done, no my Mets. Uh stat heroes.
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander. Eight innings, a ks, no walks, no ear runs,
Speaker 1: three hits the cy Young odds, which again it was
Speaker 1: very much on this. I tried to get everybody anywhere
Speaker 1: from twenty five to thirty to one after this start.
Speaker 1: You know what, it dropped down two bogs thirteen thirteen
Speaker 1: to one. It got sliced almost in half.
Speaker 2: So you hit it on its limit. I think I'm not.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think he is at all. He's justin Verlander.
Speaker 1: He's one hundred years old, the innings limits, he doesn't care.
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw to my age, so he is let
Speaker 1: it all hang out. Baby, I'd say you I s
Speaker 1: my favorite, justin Verlanders. He's getting out of Ferrari holding
Speaker 1: Kate Upton's hand right after he won the World Series,
Speaker 1: and somebody said, man, maybe someday it'll all work out
Speaker 1: for Verlander.
Speaker 2: Who knows.
Speaker 1: That's right? The ty Lord JP says is two start
Speaker 1: week this week. That's very exciting and yeah, Wonkey, says
Speaker 1: de gram who about that Mets rotation, But you know,
Speaker 1: I mean he's got a They got Alex Cobb against
Speaker 1: ty Lord. We'll get to that later in the DFS section. Here.
Speaker 1: Marco Gonzalez was good. Six k's seven innings for him,
Speaker 1: Carlos for Don Bogman's dude, nine k's one earned run
Speaker 1: over seven innings. He got another W We mentioned Darvish already.
Speaker 1: Cortes was great. Kyle Wright continues to be really good.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's available in any league still,
Speaker 1: but if he is, please go pick this guy up.
Speaker 1: He was pretty good at the end of last year.
Speaker 1: This was a pitcher who was always supposed to be
Speaker 1: good for the Braves in this, you know, this second
Speaker 1: rung of pictures that they were developing. He ended up
Speaker 1: falling behind the Ian Anderson's falling behind the ax breeds
Speaker 1: of the world. As Kyle writs, figured it out, nine
Speaker 1: K and those decisions I didn't I definitely did.
Speaker 3: I gave up on him. You know, Uh, the guy
Speaker 3: that was supposed to turn around, you know, just hadn't.
Speaker 3: And he kind of started to see, all right, well,
Speaker 3: maybe this guy is gonna be a permanent reliever. But
Speaker 3: he's making the most out of his opportunity here and
Speaker 3: rolling with it. So you know, let's keep it going, Kyle.
Speaker 3: Everyone everyone wanted to happen.
Speaker 1: So Kyle, Kyle, Kyle, what do you do and come home?
Speaker 2: Kyle? Philly and your kick? Kyle?
Speaker 1: An inside joke, Kyle, what's the one with your velocity?
Speaker 2: Got all right?
Speaker 1: Dylan Sees, by the way, continues to be just a
Speaker 1: rock to eight. K's another guy too. Was a slow
Speaker 1: burn development for Dylan Sees, but he is holding the
Speaker 1: four down for the White Sox in the absence of
Speaker 1: guys like Lance Lynn and Gilido. So shout out to
Speaker 1: Dylan Cees and the hitters. Over the weekend, Lee says
Speaker 1: a Zuki three for six with a dinger yesterday through
Speaker 1: nine games, get four hundred. Not too shabby with four dingers. Oh,
Speaker 1: Tony had himself a weekend man. I haven't the wrong
Speaker 1: guy that worked so sure did something? Wasn't it five
Speaker 1: or fifteen over the weekend with three diggers? I wish
Speaker 1: I had picked him instid of trout man, I'd be
Speaker 1: loving life right now. Starling Marte for for twelve with
Speaker 1: two home runs over the weekend. Marcelo Zuna another guy
Speaker 1: that I kind of left for dead this year for
Speaker 1: some reason.
Speaker 2: I don't know why.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe a scumbag. But the guy can still hit,
Speaker 3: so you know, hey it that that's all you know.
Speaker 3: I only understand it right Camp Roster might get it.
Speaker 3: But you know, it seems to be on the right track,
Speaker 3: you know, after what happened. Yes, not forgiving it obviously,
Speaker 3: but seems to be, you know, unlike some other people
Speaker 3: who are still spouting off in the media that pitch
Speaker 3: for teams on the West Coast, you know.
Speaker 2: So to speak.
Speaker 1: Whatever do you mean? Francisco Lindor two home runs on Friday,
Speaker 1: By the way, in the afternoon, I got to watch
Speaker 1: that inning live. That was pretty fun. So one from
Speaker 1: each of the plate in that Game's very exciting. Alex
Speaker 1: Verdugo three for ten, two of runs. Verdugo showing a
Speaker 1: little bit more power this year, Bogs. Do you think
Speaker 1: that's just an early, like weird one offer. Do you
Speaker 1: think maybe he's pushing from that fifteen to twenty kind
Speaker 1: of guy to maybe a twenty five to thirty kind
Speaker 1: of dude.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, when you have power early in this season.
Speaker 3: You gotta kind of, you know, give it up for
Speaker 3: these guys, right because everyone talks about well, when the
Speaker 3: weather starts up, ball's gonna start jumping. The power will come.
Speaker 3: But if it's there already in April, you have to
Speaker 3: say something. I'm not the biggest Fordugo fan. Guy was
Speaker 3: always a dude at the top of the dugout yelling
Speaker 3: the most and the last guy on the field when
Speaker 3: a fight started.
Speaker 2: But you know, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: By the way, you're getting T shirts made here leading off,
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna say with this one is I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make you go to the YouTube channel of Fantasy
Speaker 1: Pros MLB to check out with that new T shirt
Speaker 1: that is gonna have Bogman's face already has it, so
Speaker 1: that's sure it does. All right, here's the stat Zeros
Speaker 1: Tyler Molly got lit up for seven earned. We mentioned
Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler, Trevor Rodgers. Now this is what am I doing.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to listen. I'm just gonna say this,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I sometimes you just have to take
Speaker 1: a leap of faith. I'd buy him everywhere. I'm still
Speaker 1: buying him everywhere. Yeah, it's early, buy him everywhere. He's
Speaker 1: too talented, he was too good last year. Health doesn't
Speaker 1: seem to be the issue. This might be your window
Speaker 1: seven and runs. I know Freddy Parolta the same thing.
Speaker 1: Those are two of my quote unquote dudes. And I'm
Speaker 1: still not jumping ship. I'm not panicking. In fact, i'd
Speaker 1: buy him everywhere. Give your thoughts on Rogers and Peralta, well,
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 3: Really, you know, and I know people don't want to
Speaker 3: hear this because we want a big overreaction season in April.
Speaker 3: But I give guys pretty much six weeks before I
Speaker 3: especially when they're of the level of Peralta and Rogers.
Speaker 3: You know, guys that you took round fifteen on, or
Speaker 3: you know, paid less than ten dollars in your auctions.
Speaker 3: You know, those guys can get cut immediately as soon
Speaker 3: as they're not doing anything for you. These guys, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna give him six weeks. So I'm not worried quite yet.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Wheeler's a little bit worrisome with
Speaker 3: the velocity the other guys. Uh yeah, and I saw that, Yeah,
Speaker 3: what was it? Didn't you have like one whiff? On
Speaker 3: all of his you know, uh, strike card.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the I didn't see that game. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I'm pires squeeze a guy. Sometimes you just don't have
Speaker 1: a good feel. Sometimes in April guys go through dead on.
Speaker 1: It just happens where they just don't have a feel
Speaker 1: for things. It's just it's a natural thing. Some guys
Speaker 1: have it in spring training, some guys get it in
Speaker 1: an April.
Speaker 2: Start, and some guys I early and have to get
Speaker 2: rid of those habits.
Speaker 3: Right. So, and this one was, you know, getting only
Speaker 3: one whiff or whatever it was. That that seems very strange.
Speaker 3: So he might have been tipping. I think darbish was
Speaker 3: tipping in his second game or a game.
Speaker 1: I agree or what.
Speaker 2: Definitely, So, and he's done that before in.
Speaker 3: His care and you get back at home and you
Speaker 3: have a good start, so not a surpply So sometimes
Speaker 3: those are the issues with these guys early in season.
Speaker 3: So I'm just not willing to hit the panic button
Speaker 3: on anyone until like four or five six starts somewhere
Speaker 3: in that neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Alright, fair enough, all right, let's get to some of
Speaker 1: the stats. Zero hitters Joey Vado oh for nine with
Speaker 1: seven k's over the weekend, Correa over for e left
Speaker 1: with six k's. How about Luke Voyd? Oh for eight
Speaker 1: with six k's Brandon Lao h five k's oh for eleven?
Speaker 1: Bryson Stott, another Welsh guy boy Welsh did not want
Speaker 1: to come to today's show. Oh for eight five k's.
Speaker 1: He swings at everything. He's like, uh, the little sister
Speaker 1: kit in a league of their own. He likes the
Speaker 1: high ones. Oh my goodness, I watched a bunch of
Speaker 1: his appats. He is a free.
Speaker 2: Swinger, pitched the game winning World Series and hit in
Speaker 2: Let's go Maybe.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. Dirt and the skirt Bryson Stott
Speaker 1: labor Torres over eleven four k's. Christian Yelich, oh oh
Speaker 1: for seven four k's. I want to pause on that
Speaker 1: one because Christian Yelich, I think we all got to
Speaker 1: stop stop here for a moment and take a breath
Speaker 1: and say, now what. Because I have zero shares, I
Speaker 1: just couldn't do it. I think it was worth taking
Speaker 1: the risk in drafts if you got a good value
Speaker 1: on him to see. But I don't know, man, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to remember a player that was a nice player
Speaker 1: exploded and became an MVP talent and then just fell
Speaker 1: off the face of the earth. They're hard to find.
Speaker 1: This is a very weird path for a player. And
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make with Yelich anymore.
Speaker 3: Well, I had my buddy Jesse Severe shout out the
Speaker 3: Dynasty Sports Life in his podcast on UH before the
Speaker 3: season started. He's a he's a Brewers fan. I asked
Speaker 3: him about Yelich. She said, I'm worried about that back
Speaker 3: and people that watch the team every day man, and
Speaker 3: you know, people that have had back issues too know
Speaker 3: the back.
Speaker 2: The back stuff can can come and go.
Speaker 1: Well, Todd Helton had back issues, but Todd Helton had
Speaker 1: a long, storied career of greatness. It's the guy that
Speaker 1: kind of came out of nowhere and became an out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. Though he had a good pedigree player, he
Speaker 1: kind of he added power. That was the thing was, Wow,
Speaker 1: where did all this power come from? Because the contact
Speaker 1: was always there.
Speaker 3: So I, you know, kind of seemed like he was
Speaker 3: going to have a you know what Ben and Tendi's
Speaker 3: doing in his career now, but he pulled it into
Speaker 3: a couple MVPs. So I don't know that he's ever
Speaker 3: going to be that player again, but I do think
Speaker 3: this is a good bilo spot anytime a guy is struggling,
Speaker 3: especially in the beginning of the year, and you can
Speaker 3: get him for way less than he you know, he
Speaker 3: costs in terms of round or auction value. This is
Speaker 3: a by low point, so I'm not against buying him,
Speaker 3: but it's gonna have to be pretty good bargain for
Speaker 3: me to do it.
Speaker 1: Now, all right, let's fly through the rest of this year.
Speaker 1: The home run calls right now, up and Adam and
Speaker 1: lawnmower Man four point four both have five at the
Speaker 1: top of the board. I'm still at one, Bogman, do
Speaker 1: you have one yet?
Speaker 2: Have you got one?
Speaker 1: I got.
Speaker 2: A call on Fridays.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, that's right. I remember Aerona, if that's right,
Speaker 1: and I remember seeing that and going, oh, good for Bogman,
Speaker 1: Good for you, good for you. All right, let's talk
Speaker 1: a little little prop bets here. I hope you bet
Speaker 1: the Sreek Skouba one that we gave you last week,
Speaker 1: because once again we want money on that over on

Speaker 1: responsible is using the promo code leading off. One word
Speaker 1: leading off. Go do it today, have some fun with us.
Speaker 1: Here's the props I cherry pick from our prop bet
Speaker 1: cheat sheet at bettingpros dot com. Austin Riiley total bases
Speaker 1: on DK It's just at point five. What at point five?
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's Kershaw. Austin Riley's a really
Speaker 1: good hitter.
Speaker 2: He's also against Kershaw. Also, Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: Nice good stat there, Bog. But Nick Lodolo another one too.
Speaker 1: The strikeout prop is just very low. I know he
Speaker 1: wasn't good in his first start, but on Fandal it's
Speaker 1: just three point five against the Padres. I think he
Speaker 1: can go four or five k's there, I really do.
Speaker 1: I think Nick Lodolo is a little nervous first start,
Speaker 1: you know, work the kinks out a little bit.
Speaker 2: I think better in the second start.
Speaker 1: Showy Otani total bass prop is at one point five
Speaker 1: on DK and you can find this on bet MGM also.
Speaker 1: But against Houston tonight, I like the over on that one.
Speaker 1: Christian Pache has been swinging a hot bat. His total
Speaker 1: bass prop is just point five. Now again, you know
Speaker 1: he's got a good matchup here. Theoretically. I'm not a
Speaker 1: big Pasche guy, but baseball is a game of streaks,
Speaker 1: so I would vie the streak while he's hitting the ball.
Speaker 1: And Jared Walsh that last one too. I know he's
Speaker 1: against Garcia tonight in Houston, but total bases.
Speaker 2: One and a half.
Speaker 1: Jared Walsh is a really good hitter, very underrated player.
Speaker 1: So those are the guys I like. I like Walsh,
Speaker 1: Otani Pache and then Lodolo and Austin Riley all to
Speaker 1: go over their total base or strikeout props to Night Boks.
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on these guys.
Speaker 3: I like, Austin Riley, I'm about to give you a
Speaker 3: stat when we get into DFS for Jared Walsh that
Speaker 3: I love as well.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm all, let's go.
Speaker 1: Speaking of DFS, let's do it. The stacks of the Night,
Speaker 1: Philly and Colorado just get in there. Because I don't
Speaker 1: trust Aaron Nola was gonna be on the Philly side
Speaker 1: of this game. I would be in both because Aaron Nola.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say his trash, but Aaron Nola
Speaker 1: is you want? I want your face? I want to say,
Speaker 1: it's so bad. I'm just glad I dropped him. I
Speaker 1: had a choice in my home my home league. I
Speaker 1: could have held Nolan Air, not Aaron Nola for I
Speaker 1: think it was thirty eight dollars or thirty six dollars
Speaker 1: and it's a very heavy pitching format. And I was like,
Speaker 1: or I could hold Hunter Green for a buck. I
Speaker 1: was like, no, no, I'm gonna hold Hunter Green for
Speaker 1: a buck and thirty.
Speaker 3: Nine pitches over one hundred miles an hour the other night,
Speaker 3: but it was just in a single game ever, so
Speaker 3: is unbelievable. I will say this is another thing to
Speaker 3: Hunter Green was my National League Rookie of the year.
Speaker 3: It might, but let me tell you a Naturalague work
Speaker 3: of the year. There's no clear guys. He was nine
Speaker 3: and a half to start the year. I put money
Speaker 3: on that one.
Speaker 1: Now you know what that dropped to again, slice in half.
Speaker 1: It's four and a half to one now on him.
Speaker 1: So this is your chance if you want to get
Speaker 1: him in Green for Hunter Green for a National League
Speaker 1: work of the Year, because Annil Cruise a triple A,
Speaker 1: Bryson Stott his swings at everything, and I really don't
Speaker 1: know who's the guy. I mean, Joey Bart catchers, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Let's go to the pitchers here. On DK
Speaker 1: tonight you got Alex Cobb and Tyler Tyler McGill going
Speaker 1: head to head. Cobb is just seven point five though
Speaker 1: on DK, so I'd go to the Cob side of
Speaker 1: this game. It's no doubt about that. On FanDuel eight
Speaker 1: point eight and nine K so they're kind of much
Speaker 1: more right at the same union together in terms of pricing.
Speaker 1: But on DK Alex Cobbs the Black Book Days and
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb and the Welsh you can't be a cobsucker
Speaker 1: and you dig it. Maybe maybe we'll have to bring
Speaker 1: that back for Alex Cobb.
Speaker 2: You know he be a cob sucker tonight.
Speaker 1: Right, there's your second T shirt. By the way, Bogs
Speaker 1: Frankie Montas on DK is just seven point three. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna pay up tonight, you can pay up for
Speaker 1: Kershaw ten point three. He looked great. I would do that.
Speaker 2: I actually don't like buying Kershaw, and it's just because
Speaker 2: on DK I do.
Speaker 1: I can do it on DK. On FanDuel eleven it's
Speaker 1: too much because I don't think he's gonna go long
Speaker 1: enough in this game to pay off the eleven K.
Speaker 1: But at ten to three on DK, when you can
Speaker 1: put him in Cobb together.
Speaker 2: I can. I can do that. There's anything wonky at all.
Speaker 3: They're gonna be like, well, you threw a lot of
Speaker 3: pitches a couple times out, so let's go ahead and
Speaker 3: sit you down pretty quick.
Speaker 2: So that that's why I worry about Kershaw tonight.
Speaker 1: That's fair enough. Lineup builders tonight. Before we get to
Speaker 1: Bogman's BVP matchups. On DK, you got Dalton Varshow at
Speaker 1: the top of the order three point six. He's cheap.
Speaker 1: Colton walk at the top of his order three nine,
Speaker 1: Austin Nola hitting second there at three point six. And
Speaker 1: on FanDuel Varshow again just two point four, Willia Doms
Speaker 1: at three U k A Domis. I always say, will you.
Speaker 1: I started saying that one Willia Domas. Sorry, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: beat it into you. Sorry, I'm gonna it's as you
Speaker 1: hear that got him. I called him on he was
Speaker 1: in you finally did. But when he was in the
Speaker 1: minor leagues, we all called him Willia Doms and then
Speaker 1: he's one of these guys like, no, no, my name
Speaker 1: is Willia Damas. But my brain never made that transition.
Speaker 3: So I'm sorry, Well, you don't call him Acunya akuna
Speaker 3: because we all called him that when he was in
Speaker 3: the miners.
Speaker 2: You call him Acunya because I didn't see then.
Speaker 1: I called him Acunya, but I I I'm a disgrace
Speaker 1: to myself and the uniform.
Speaker 2: Randy A Rose.
Speaker 1: Arena two point eight k on FanDuel like him tonight
Speaker 1: and if you want to go Oppo and weird trank.
Speaker 1: Grisham is cheap at two point six. I know it's
Speaker 1: a lefty lefty matchup, and I'll expect that lefty to
Speaker 1: be in the game all that long going against the Padres,
Speaker 1: So that's the way I would go. So give us
Speaker 1: the BVP guys for the night. In DFS we should
Speaker 1: be aware of box.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the Jared Walsh one.
Speaker 3: Jared Walsh against Louis Garcia seven for eleven a six
Speaker 3: thirty six average, two bombs, two doubles. So he sees
Speaker 3: Louis Garcia very very well. That little rock back and
Speaker 3: forth does not bother him at all. So get in
Speaker 3: on Jared Walsh four point three on DK, three point
Speaker 3: two on Fanguel tonight, rob and bet on.
Speaker 1: The total basis on the prophet too, Jared Walsh. That's
Speaker 1: another one there.
Speaker 3: Robbie Cano a lot of experience against Cobb ten of
Speaker 3: twenty eight, four bombs, a double, that's a three fifty
Speaker 3: seven average. Ozzy Albi's three for nine with a double
Speaker 3: against Kershaw, Brennan Rodgers three for six against Aaron Nola,
Speaker 3: Michel Franco six for fourteen with a homer and two doubles,
Speaker 3: against Bumgarner, Charlie Blackman three point nine, a DK three
Speaker 3: point four and fandals seven for nineteen with a homer
Speaker 3: in three doubles against Aaron Nola and Brett Phillips. If
Speaker 3: you're looking cheap, two point eight and two is three
Speaker 3: for three versus Kyle Hendrick.
Speaker 2: So little PVB dated for you at the end here,
Speaker 2: All right, very.
Speaker 1: Good, Let's move on now to our home run calls.
Speaker 1: I'm going to Colorado for mine. I'm going to Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper to get back on track. If anyone's gonna get
Speaker 1: me back on track in the home run race, it's
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper, my boy. So I like the matchup here
Speaker 1: against Chad Cool like the other side of the pillow
Speaker 1: checked for me, Cool Chad. But I'm gonna go b
Speaker 1: Harper tonight, Bogs where A you're going for your home
Speaker 1: run call?
Speaker 3: Give me a reason to watch this Dimebacks game. So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pick one Soto against them. Let's go one
Speaker 3: getting against Madison Bumgarner, and I won't be mad that
Speaker 3: it happened.
Speaker 2: So if he does I win. If he does it,
Speaker 2: I win.
Speaker 1: Mike Mayor going going going off the grid here, Michael
Speaker 1: Chavis for for Mike Mahyer today, boy getting.
Speaker 2: What are you trying to prove? He is Marathony, he
Speaker 2: is sick.
Speaker 1: He's clearly taking too much cold medicine for that pick.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with that. Now, if
Speaker 1: you want to get involved with the home run call,
Speaker 1: there's still plenty of time left. The leaderboard is only five.

Speaker 3: minutes ago. The diambacks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ah see, there you go, so rain so there
Speaker 1: you go, so officially, Mike Mayer, you know, shake off
Speaker 1: the night quill for a second of the day quill,
Speaker 1: whatever one you're onto now it's no longer won Soto.
Speaker 1: Please remove that and please now replace it for Scott
Speaker 1: Bogman with Jared Walsh. That's a good one. Part of
Speaker 1: me wants to go in that with you today, but
Speaker 1: that's no fun.
Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna go Maybe he'll be fine.
Speaker 1: And that's the lesson in today's show, which is the
Speaker 1: overlap you know of wagering DFS fantasy. I mean we
Speaker 1: talked about the Verlander stuff, the fantasy stuff. How that
Speaker 1: you know if you if you took Verlander when we
Speaker 1: told you to take him and draft him and you
Speaker 1: made investment in sy Young. Look at that market shift,
Speaker 1: look at Hunter Green, look at what's going on with
Speaker 1: Jared Walsh today. Really good fantasy player. Right, we're talking
Speaker 1: about the overlap there. You could use the DFS tonight
Speaker 1: great BVP numbers and then on top of which you
Speaker 1: can then look at the props that are out there
Speaker 1: for the total basis. So I love the crossover. Scott
