Speaker 3: good weekend coming up, the holidays coming up July fourth,
Speaker 3: Independence Day, cookouts and fireworks and swimming holes and all
Speaker 3: that stuff that makes aliens sure makes America great baseball
Speaker 3: and baseball all the America you can handle Welsh. Do
Speaker 3: you have a do you have like a certain flag
Speaker 3: shirt you're gonna wear on July fourth or the upcoming
Speaker 3: big festival.
Speaker 1: Well, no, see, July fourth isn't July fourth around these
Speaker 1: parts because my daughter and my wife's sherry birthday and
Speaker 1: it's July fifth, So July fourth, my daughter has taken over.
Speaker 1: It's actually very appropriate for July fourth in America. She
Speaker 1: has taken over. July fourth is her day, and then
Speaker 1: July fifth is like pseudo my wife and my daughter
Speaker 1: still takes that one. So we're coming up to a
Speaker 1: birthday week of again fireworks for my daughter. It's maybe
Speaker 1: for the country, but my daughter's like, oh you guys
Speaker 1: got fireworks for me, So that's how it's going to go.
Speaker 1: But no, no flag shirts. I do have a Cubs
Speaker 1: flag hat or something maybe I'll wear, but not a
Speaker 1: lot of I don't know us July fourth flair, how
Speaker 1: about you?
Speaker 3: I can definitely see.
Speaker 1: You in a like a sleeveless whatever they are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a whole. Yeah, I'm gonna have one
Speaker 3: of those one of these rompers is that what they're called.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get me one of those.
Speaker 1: Like ROMs definitely see maybe face paint like a little
Speaker 1: Jojo siwa, but jojo piez of pia.
Speaker 3: Don't put that evil out there for the piece.
Speaker 1: Oh it's out there now, a little jojo, a little
Speaker 1: jojo piece of pia.
Speaker 3: We got a lot to get to. But where else
Speaker 3: would we start a show this week if not for
Speaker 3: the Yankee rotation?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: First it was Coal, and it was Heel, and today
Speaker 3: it's Carlos Rodond who gives up eight runs in five innings.
Speaker 3: Not that great of a performance for Carls. I don't
Speaker 3: care about the strikeouts. Eight runs is eight runs, Welsh
Speaker 3: fun facts, ready for fun facts. Garrett Cole sixer and
Speaker 3: runs last start. Heel twelve earned runs in his last
Speaker 3: two starts, and Carls we're done twenty earned runs his
Speaker 3: last three starts. So now you're gonna have the Dodgers
Speaker 3: of the Yankees, two teams at the very top of
Speaker 3: the food chain fighting in July in the pitching market.
Speaker 3: And I wonder what the price egg is gonna be
Speaker 3: for some of those Garret Crochet types. Wherever else becomes
Speaker 3: available when someone is quote unquote out of it. Theoretically
Speaker 3: in July, but I don't know, man, that arms race
Speaker 3: is looking real interesting right about now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean all we're waiting for really is going
Speaker 1: to be who are those pitchers that are going to be,
Speaker 1: you know, really actually be available, because again you go
Speaker 1: and look at the you look at the standings, and
Speaker 1: everybody's pretty close. Everybody's in the general range, So like
Speaker 1: who are the sellers And it might be more about
Speaker 1: the buyers being more hyper aggressive. I just don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just a weird flip. You're also
Speaker 1: having like seasonal flip here between like what I mean,
Speaker 1: we can always joke about, you know, the baseball's being
Speaker 1: changed and whatever, but like, you know, ball's starting to
Speaker 1: fly a little bit more and you might have to
Speaker 1: have some actual pitching changes for the dun start yesterday
Speaker 1: was really weird.
Speaker 3: By the way.
Speaker 1: He had a huge variance of over five mile an
Speaker 1: hour difference between the low and high on his fastball.
Speaker 1: He had seventeen whiffs in a game where he gave
Speaker 1: up eight earned runs, and almost everything was kind of
Speaker 1: up in general on vel. So I think this is
Speaker 1: a blip in the road for the Yankees. Yankees fans
Speaker 1: are freaking out and losing it. You have these guys
Speaker 1: in fantasy. You're absolutely losing your mind. I think it's
Speaker 1: a blip that's going to be adjusted. And I did
Speaker 1: an episode of the cycle that's going to be out
Speaker 1: later today, and Worm asked me, He's like, hey, what's
Speaker 1: the you know, the big game you're looking forward to
Speaker 1: this week? And I was like, Garrett Cole, Like, Garret
Speaker 1: Cole's all that matters right now because it has been
Speaker 1: disaster after disaster for the Yankees, and Garret Cole not
Speaker 1: only is it so important for him, but it's important
Speaker 1: for the Yankees to turn that around, because yeah, man,
Speaker 1: it's bad in the Yankee sp streets.
Speaker 3: It is definitely that also bad in the streets. Rice
Speaker 3: Harper left hamstring injury, so we're gonna get more. I
Speaker 3: don't seen an update yet to have been doing football
Speaker 3: shows all morning and other stuff, so I didn't get
Speaker 3: to see anything recently, but I have to keep a
Speaker 3: close eye on this. Hopefully it's just a little cramp
Speaker 3: issue or something like that and nothing serious. But everyone
Speaker 3: holding their breath first to lose bets. Now I'm gonna
Speaker 3: lose Harper all of a sudden. Showy al Tani the
Speaker 3: DH is the de facto MVP of the National League.
Speaker 3: It's looking more and more possible. Every single week that
Speaker 3: goes by. Chris Sale was tremendous. Eleven strikeouts got the
Speaker 3: over to ching yesterday. Oh what a week, my ROI.
Speaker 3: This week is unbelievable, which is great because I've had
Speaker 3: some bad weeks in May. May it was kind of
Speaker 3: a crappy, but June has been a tremendous Betting but
Speaker 3: follow me at betting pros dot COM's last year it's
Speaker 3: a look. You can't get down on yourself Welsh.
Speaker 1: Unfollow me, unfollow me at fantasys dot com or betting
Speaker 1: pros dot com slash well unfed.
Speaker 3: Why do you do this? You have to learn to
Speaker 3: take the good in the bad. You have to say, hey,
Speaker 3: I'm struggling right now, but I'm gonna I'm gonna make
Speaker 3: a comeback here. You get so down on yourself or
Speaker 3: you like this as a little kid too, How do
Speaker 3: you like baseball? Baseball is all this failure in it,
Speaker 3: and and you you fail a little bit, and you
Speaker 3: get so down on yourself. I want to pump you up.
Speaker 1: I need to We need like an Uno card, like
Speaker 1: I need a thing to put on my profile that says, oh,
Speaker 1: you should just fade me. Does fade anything? I say,
Speaker 1: do the opposite right now. Yeah, failure is if consistent.
Speaker 1: Failure is rough. I would be a rough starting pitcher
Speaker 1: in baseball because one bad outing and I'm I'm Jordan
Speaker 1: Montgomery throwing one blow.
Speaker 3: And say, don't let Welsh close games. You know what
Speaker 3: the P stands for and Joey P positivity, That's what
Speaker 3: it stands for.
Speaker 1: Horse, Come on, Jojo positivity. That's that's your character.
Speaker 3: So Chris Sale make a lot of headway in the
Speaker 3: National League Young race too after this performance yesterday to
Speaker 3: that numbers move significantly interesting to watch. Also interesting to
Speaker 3: watch Corbyn burns one run seven innings on the America
Speaker 3: League side of that, another good star for him against
Speaker 3: the Rangers and strikeouts. Noel ve Marte uh showed back
Speaker 3: up three hits yesterday, so he was back against the Cardinals.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he saw any of the Marte
Speaker 3: work or some highlights, but do you have any thoughts
Speaker 3: on the return of NOUELV. Marte to the reds now.
Speaker 1: The Marte parte if you will. That's what That's what
Speaker 1: we did out here in Arizona when we had Katel
Speaker 1: and starling Marte, we had the Marte partey. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is good that he is back from being a big,
Speaker 1: massive cheater and he can go about his non cheating
Speaker 1: ways now. Of course he's non cheating now and get
Speaker 1: back to it. Three hits is a great thing. I
Speaker 1: will tell you this. Noelvie has somebody. I watched him
Speaker 1: literally before he made his professional debut with the Mariners.
Speaker 1: I have seen him transform into just this different player
Speaker 1: over and over and over. Where he was just like
Speaker 1: really athletic, good contact hitter. Then it was like big
Speaker 1: power struggling with the batting average and besides, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever illegal activities get him suspended. I will say he
Speaker 1: is making like impressive headways as far as the hitter.
Speaker 1: He's becoming not selling out for power, being able to
Speaker 1: really be a force on the bass paths. He stole
Speaker 1: a base right away, got three hits in that debut.
Speaker 1: There's no I mean, why would we even look at
Speaker 1: like analytics too, by the way off of like one
Speaker 1: game or like did he barrel or anything like that.
Speaker 1: But he hit the ball hard. It was an average
Speaker 1: of ninety four ex velocity on the hits he had
Speaker 1: and the balls he struck here. But you know, like
Speaker 1: we've been saying you should pick him up, he should
Speaker 1: have picked him up. I think the ownership is in
Speaker 1: the sixty seventy range. This probably is a reconfirmation. I
Speaker 1: think this is a good sign. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: going to be a league winner or anything like that,
Speaker 1: but I think the stolen bases kind of like an
Speaker 1: Ellie type of thing. I think the stolen base's hits
Speaker 1: could overpower some of the power. But good to have
Speaker 1: him back. And you probably should have been on this,
Speaker 1: you know, two or three weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there was a show talking about this for
Speaker 3: like a month. It was called what was it, Oh,
Speaker 3: leading off right, leading off with Joey positivity. We warned
Speaker 3: you pick up no foot But look, it's a no brainer.
Speaker 3: And and hopefully he can pick up where he left
Speaker 3: off last year, because last year it was a thirty
Speaker 3: five game sample. It was a tremendous sample size. He
Speaker 3: had for average, he had for power, he showed you
Speaker 3: to speed, he showed you everything. And and carnasciels Strand
Speaker 3: is out for the year, there's more opportunity. Matt mcclean's
Speaker 3: not back yet, so this is a great opportunity for
Speaker 3: Marte to stamp these next you know, three or four
Speaker 3: weeks for himself, as Hey, I'm an everyday player. This
Speaker 3: is my gig. Get out of the way. So hopefully
Speaker 3: he does. And if he gets off to a hot start,
Speaker 3: and yesterday was the beginning of that, hopefully things are going.
Speaker 1: To be a top one hundred player. It could be
Speaker 1: a top one hundred player the restless season. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: I wouldn't discount that.
Speaker 3: One hundred percent for fun, a little bit of fun.
Speaker 3: Adulas Garcia another guy we were talking about buying low
Speaker 3: homer yesterday against the Orioles, so that's some signs of life.
Speaker 3: Louis Robert also showing signs of life. He was my
Speaker 3: buy low earlier. Still hitting under two hundred on the year,
Speaker 3: but another home run for him. He's playing his way out.
Speaker 3: Nolan Gorman, we just talked about this yesterday. Was he
Speaker 3: gonna be out the lineup? He was Welsh, he was
Speaker 3: they we're facing a lefty, so Jose Fermen got the
Speaker 3: start at second base. Uh, is this the beginning of
Speaker 3: the end of Nolan Gorman? Here?
Speaker 1: I would say no. I actually want to go back
Speaker 1: to a doles here in a second, but I would
Speaker 1: say no because similar to this is like super high end,
Speaker 1: high level stuff with Ellie. We know, like Ellie could
Speaker 1: disappear for two weeks and then he can go and
Speaker 1: become the best player in baseball. That's not Nolan Gorman.
Speaker 1: But what we do know about Nolan Gorman at this
Speaker 1: point is he can have two weeks that are great
Speaker 1: and two solid and two weeks that are bad, or
Speaker 1: three weeks that are bad and a week that's good.
Speaker 1: He just goes through these flows. He's got that strikeout problem.
Speaker 1: You know. The upper zone is always to see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the upper zone is always a prop for a week.
Speaker 3: He just hits a couple of home runs in a week.
Speaker 1: Hit the ball. He hits the ball crazy heart.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's the thing. I think he's like, I.
Speaker 3: Want him to hit it toof guys aren't or hit
Speaker 3: it pie.
Speaker 1: If I just don't think this is the end, because
Speaker 1: I think this is what he does. I think this
Speaker 1: is the exact thing that he always does. We need
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a dollars.
Speaker 3: Ye, I don't know what that means, but I don't
Speaker 3: like it, so.
Speaker 1: Real quick, Joe I want to talk about adulties for
Speaker 1: one second, but our chat is blowing up with something
Speaker 1: that could make Welsh very very happy. Could maybe you
Speaker 1: confirm while I talk about adulties real quick, because.
Speaker 3: I did want to. There's a good question there too,
Speaker 3: but I'll have to go down here. Okay, but real
Speaker 3: quick on adult James Wood actually going to be making
Speaker 3: his debut on Monday? Is this true? Could this be?
Speaker 3: I will confirm that in the meantime, I want to
Speaker 3: get to Matt Hoey's question also, so put Matt one
Speaker 3: question up here so I don't lose that. Continue on.
Speaker 3: I'll look for any James Wood stuff here.
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh wait, what do we do? I said, I
Speaker 1: want to talk about adolies, So we're going to the
Speaker 1: question what.
Speaker 3: Do we talk about? You can talk about whatever you want.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's great, Thank you so much, Joey, positive welcome,
Speaker 1: just real quick on the adults front, and then we'll
Speaker 1: go to that question. He has not actually shown real,
Speaker 1: real signs of like a massive bounce back because he's
Speaker 1: hitting one eighty eight this month, but from a profile perspective,
Speaker 1: a lot of it is still there. It's double digit
Speaker 1: barrel percentage. He's hitting the ball hard. Those are just
Speaker 1: small ticks down. He's actually striking out less, which is
Speaker 1: a really good sign. So I think Adulis is a
Speaker 1: pretty pretty solid buy right now. His zone contact is up,
Speaker 1: while his chase contact percentage is down, and he is
Speaker 1: first pitch swinging through his shoes around thirty three thirty
Speaker 1: five percent, he's up to forty seven percent. Stop swinging
Speaker 1: at first pitches, get back into that profile, and we
Speaker 1: will get the original Adolis Garcia pretty goodbye for the
Speaker 1: second half. So I'm with that all right. So what
Speaker 1: do we doing?
Speaker 3: I do have a conversation. I do have the confirmation
Speaker 3: from Graham Paulson, who friend of mine, somebody I trust,
Speaker 3: done shows within the pass from the DC area. James
Speaker 3: Wood will be called up to make his debut. He's
Speaker 3: reporting it on my We have ex'cide entamment against the Mets.
Speaker 3: Was hitting three forty six with a ten to thirty
Speaker 3: six ops and triple A this year. So there you go,
Speaker 3: boys and girls, you did it.
Speaker 1: It's freedom. My guarantee you did guarantee it earlier this week. Oh,
Speaker 1: I guaranteed he come right after the All Star break.
Speaker 1: He come up right after the All Star break. There
Speaker 1: you go, you're gonna get him right or wrong. I'm
Speaker 1: just more right. I just get more extra points.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: So it's July first.
Speaker 3: I should look at Welsh's mood has swung. Look how
Speaker 3: much happier he is now.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so happy for James Wood. This is
Speaker 1: the guy. And that's what I said yesterday was you know,
Speaker 1: he is the guy that you stash, so bang boom.
Speaker 3: All right, Matt Howey wants to know Joe and Welsh.
Speaker 3: Who would you rather have rest of season? Brian Reynolds
Speaker 3: and Nicko Lodolo or Julio Rodriguez with the Ray Renalds
Speaker 3: the way Reynolds has played and Lodolo is pitched and
Speaker 3: it's only a blister issue, It's not an elbow or
Speaker 3: a shoulder. I want the combo. I want the two
Speaker 3: players Welsh and I can't believe I'm saying that, but
Speaker 3: I am. What do you think.
Speaker 1: I would not blame anybody to want that duo, because
Speaker 1: here's one thing you get about Lodolo has been strong,
Speaker 1: and here's what you it with Brian Reynolds. You get consistency.
Speaker 1: You're just gonna get it. It's beautiful. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say with Julio, I believe that there's gonna be like
Speaker 1: a strong second half coming for Julio. He's a top
Speaker 1: overall player if I need a depth though, this is
Speaker 1: actually like a classic redraft type of trade where it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: this big super guy is not doing super great for me.
Speaker 1: I need the depth. My problem with Lodolo is always hurt.
Speaker 1: He's hurt right now, you can get hurt again. So
Speaker 1: it's like, how much are you actually getting at elbow?
Speaker 3: It's it's elbow. It's not a shoulder. It's a blister issue,
Speaker 3: Like it's a blister. That's like he's he's not structurally wrong.
Speaker 3: He's got a blister. Like that's something you know the summertime.
Speaker 3: It happens with some guys I got.
Speaker 1: By the way, am I was I salty today?
Speaker 3: Everyone's like sad about your betting losses.
Speaker 1: You were, Oh no, I'm just I'm I'm trash, I'm garbage.
Speaker 1: You know that show?
Speaker 2: Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you trash?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah no.
Speaker 1: James Wood isn't gonna fix my my betting.
Speaker 3: Your mood though, I just want to make you happy
Speaker 3: going into the week on Friday, you're not having any fun. Rookie,
Speaker 3: lookie time has Cire's toad two for three with a walk,
Speaker 3: two run score to homer and three RBI. That's a
Speaker 3: good thing. David Festa did get a w but he
Speaker 3: gave up five runs and five innings against the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3: So takeaways from the David fest to start against your
Speaker 3: d Backs. I'm not ready to drop him after one start.
Speaker 3: I'm still very curious about him. It's his debut. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna give him a pass. But what did you make
Speaker 3: out of it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? God, I'm trying to think of who it was.
Speaker 1: It did something. It's out of my brain. But Festa
Speaker 1: had no hits through three innings. Also, if you look
Speaker 1: at the line, you wouldn't know that he didn't have
Speaker 1: any strikeouts. Dimonbacks are very tough to strike out. He
Speaker 1: walked one. He had three no hit innings, and then
Speaker 1: I could tell Marte got to him. My boy, that
Speaker 1: was the guy that I picked on. Diamondbacks are a
Speaker 1: really tough team. That's what I had been saying. I
Speaker 1: said to sit David Festa, and to the first three innings,
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, Like I'm an idiot, like he
Speaker 1: had no hits and stuff like that, and then he
Speaker 1: got kind of blown up. That's a really tough tough start,
Speaker 1: so I don't think I would take too too much
Speaker 1: out of it. I'm gonna get him back out there
Speaker 1: like again, you know, second ish third time through the
Speaker 1: order made it a lot more difficult, but he was
Speaker 1: becoming unhittable and then it kind of unraveled. So you know,
Speaker 1: wash that out of your brain and maybe get him
Speaker 1: back out on the next start, all.
Speaker 3: Right, Moving on to the three up and three down.
Speaker 3: Ellie de la Cruz three for five with a homer,
Speaker 3: a single, triple, a an RBI n a steel Zach Wheeler,
Speaker 3: two runs and six and two thirds. Are they good
Speaker 3: start for him? Could get no decision unfortunately. Wow, And
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, Katel Marte made the ups this Friday,
Speaker 3: homer and a double and a blowout against the Twinkies.
Speaker 3: Three down. Jack Flaherty took the l five runs, five
Speaker 3: and two third, John Gray eight runs in five innings,
Speaker 3: and not to be out done, Miles Michaelis ten runs,
Speaker 3: nine of them earned in four and a third. So
Speaker 3: some bigger and run numbers. Jack Flaherty I know you've
Speaker 3: been waiting for the regression of Jack Flaherty, but is
Speaker 3: this regression or is this just poor health poor?
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know if it's poor I mean, I guess.
Speaker 3: I can deal with that issue. And he's been missing
Speaker 3: starts and getting things bumped around, like dude, I don't
Speaker 3: know which one it is. I was hoping.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you too again not to like be crazy
Speaker 1: pluggy about this, but it's just because we did, like
Speaker 1: this very specific show, the ital show we did yesterday,
Speaker 1: we redrafted the first four rounds, and in the fourth
Speaker 1: round I was really I'm kind of regretting it now.
Speaker 1: It sounds stupid, but I was like, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm going to surprise you with this picker is right
Speaker 1: at the end of the fourth round. I took Flarity
Speaker 1: the top four rounds because I was so anti Flarity
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, and then he had
Speaker 1: warranted so much attention, so much attention to focus in
Speaker 1: on all of his stuff and the changes that he's
Speaker 1: made that it's like, you know what, Flirty has become
Speaker 1: a different person, and here's my other piece of logic.
Speaker 1: He's going to get traded too. I think he's going
Speaker 1: to get moved and then he can be you know,
Speaker 1: maybe you get traded to the Braves and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden support or the Dodgers. I think obviously
Speaker 1: we could pay attention to the injuries. The stuff is
Speaker 1: still there. It's thirty percent k rate. He hasn't walking guys.
Speaker 1: Of course, I bet on him yesterday and it just
Speaker 1: like I should have did strikeouts didn't work. He got
Speaker 1: him tiny bit. I don't. I'm not going to let
Speaker 1: the injuries shine me too far away. But these like
Speaker 1: little blips, I personally think like blip, like this is
Speaker 1: a good opportunity to jump on right now, where I
Speaker 1: think anyone viewing him like a top fifty overall player
Speaker 1: is going to kind of like, oh no, I don't
Speaker 1: think he is. So you can get a better cost
Speaker 1: for purchasing him, and that is going to be a
Speaker 1: payoff to the second half, because I do think he
Speaker 1: is a obvious massive trade candidate and that's going to
Speaker 1: help his value. And I think the profile of the pitcher,
Speaker 1: unless injuries come in, is something that I want to
Speaker 1: buy in on the second half and you know, top
Speaker 1: twenty sp rest of season, so it'll either work out
Speaker 1: or I have completely been the cooler on flirty and
Speaker 1: he'll not work. But blip blips, I'm excuses blips on
Speaker 1: the screens. Don't worry about these blips.
Speaker 3: Yes, but worry about this. We'll give it away free stuff.
Speaker 3: Orlando Cabrera Retro Montreal expos Jersey can be yours. All
Speaker 3: you gotta do is go to fancypros dot com slash
Speaker 3: MLB review, drop a five star review of the show,
Speaker 3: and that's it and you are automatically entered. So list
Speaker 3: Literally you have to do next to nothing for this.
Speaker 3: If you watch the show every day, If you listen
Speaker 3: to the show every day, fanacypros dot com slash m
Speaker 3: LB review in Orlando cab can be yours. You know,
Speaker 3: we need Montreal Jersey.
Speaker 1: We need a we need a Joey P Jersey to
Speaker 1: an autograph Joey P Jersey to get away. I wonder
Speaker 1: if that would do.
Speaker 3: I bet that would sign it my like I can
Speaker 3: sign Orlando Cabrera's name too and just pretend it's signed good.
Speaker 1: But I think you do like your real signature and
Speaker 1: then maybe like a Joey like you give it a
Speaker 1: give it like. I don't think anybody, Oh, do you
Speaker 1: like a little baby handwriting?
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little baby, I hold a pen like this.
Speaker 1: You're letting Joe. Wait, it looks like yeah, okay, I
Speaker 1: the autograph.
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker on the Injury News taking thirty swings off
Speaker 3: a tee. Yay. So now he's up there with an
Speaker 3: eight year old. Kyle Schwarber was removed from yesterday's game also,
Speaker 3: just like Harper, with a left growing tightness. So the
Speaker 3: only thing for that is a blow. So he's probably
Speaker 3: going to be out for the weekend. You'd imagine there,
Speaker 3: but keep an eye on that. The last thing the
Speaker 3: Phillies want to do here. It's it's funny because you
Speaker 3: have the Yankees running into some trouble. The rotation of
Speaker 3: the Dodgers obviously has been a problem lately, and now
Speaker 3: the Phillies, like you, Schwarber and Harper the same game.
Speaker 3: Everyone's holding their breath a little bit. They're also going
Speaker 3: to be about Spencer Turnbull for six to eight weeks
Speaker 3: with a last string, which is so frustrating.
Speaker 1: That one is talking about it. I will point out again, though,
Speaker 1: this is that thing where people look at teams that
Speaker 1: are like vying and they're like, oh hey, well we
Speaker 1: got this depth and they can move from here. No,
Speaker 1: like teams, teams want depth, teams need depth. The Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: have been a prime example of what it does za embarrassment.
Speaker 1: Their rotation has been the Dodgers are experiencing it, and
Speaker 1: now a Phillies team is experiencing it. That these got
Speaker 1: you have to pay up, pay more for some of
Speaker 1: that depth, and some of these even fringy teams. I
Speaker 1: just I think, like the White Sox with a Garrett
Speaker 1: Crochet they are I wouldn't be shocked if they wanted
Speaker 1: more for Crochet than they want for Luis Robert that
Speaker 1: type of stuff, because pitching is at a real, real premium.
Speaker 3: Well, the hard part is with the expanded playoffs, you
Speaker 3: also don't get as many teams that are willing to
Speaker 3: call themselves out of it. Yeah, you know, like that's
Speaker 3: the other thing. It's it's not what it used to
Speaker 3: be in that sense, which makes you wonder about, you know,
Speaker 3: adjustments to the trade deadline or how you want to
Speaker 3: figure that out.
Speaker 1: But we'll finally make it longer.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, it's a real question because
Speaker 3: you want teams to stay competitive, but you also want
Speaker 3: the competitive teams to get better, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I know that's kind of like a chicken and egg
Speaker 3: kind of scenario, but you know, I mean, how many
Speaker 3: teams have are decidedly you know what, Let's do it.
Speaker 3: Let's have fun. Let's go through the teams that are
Speaker 3: decidedly out of it or we think are going to
Speaker 3: be decidedly out.
Speaker 1: Of the a's hold hold on, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3: We're gonna go through the each thing. So I'm just
Speaker 3: a Blue Jays out of it. Let's start in the East.
Speaker 3: They're six and a I mean out of the wildcard.
Speaker 1: No, okay, if you're if you're if you're eight under
Speaker 1: eight games out of the wildcard, you're not out of it.
Speaker 1: I'll just that'll be myam.
Speaker 3: Oh, so the Tigers aren't out of it then because
Speaker 3: they're seven.
Speaker 1: They're on the cusp. But I'm saying, yeah, they're not
Speaker 1: out of it.
Speaker 3: No, it's a good game more than the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that's one more game, all right.
Speaker 3: Because you were trying to trade Jack Fliery two minutes ago.
Speaker 3: Look at you, You're like give them away. All of
Speaker 3: a sudden, they're into white Sox or twenty three games
Speaker 3: out of the Wildcard, they're done.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The Angels nine and a half games out of the wildcard,
Speaker 3: are they done? Yes? Okay, the Oakland a sixteen games out,
Speaker 3: they're done. The Nats are certainly not done. The Miami
Speaker 3: Marlins twelve and a half games out of the Wildcard,
Speaker 3: they're done. Yes. The entire Central is four or less,
Speaker 3: so they're in it. And the Rockies, So the Rockies
Speaker 3: have nobody that you want.
Speaker 1: Chris Bryant, I said Olan Jones.
Speaker 3: I'll stand by this. They're not trading Nolan Jones. The
Speaker 3: Marlins had Lozardo. That's it now. Uh the A's Do
Speaker 3: the A's have anybody you want besides Mason Miller? The Angels,
Speaker 3: by the.
Speaker 1: Way, the Rockies do have. The Rockies do have Dakota Hudson. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The A's have Paul Blackburn and JP Sears so or no,
Speaker 1: Blackburn's hurt Sears though series is definitely difference.
Speaker 3: JP. Yeah, that's that's the guy who's gonna change the
Speaker 3: stars of the Major League Playoffs. JP s heres. Uh so, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean until teams like the Blue Jay like the
Speaker 3: blue Jays have assets like Chris Bassett, like that's a
Speaker 3: that's a picture.
Speaker 1: Who Yeah, and we're and by the way, someone was
Speaker 1: talking about Richard said, like McMahon, we're only talking about
Speaker 1: pictures here. These guys have obvious offensive but White Sox.
Speaker 1: That's why you come back to the White Sox. They've
Speaker 1: got Fetti and they've got crochet. So there's only so
Speaker 1: much that is available out which why somebody.
Speaker 3: Should get a hall for crochet, Like they should get
Speaker 3: a hall for crochet, just say.
Speaker 1: But that's also why a guy like I think fetti
Speaker 1: on the lower term, but flarity on a high term.
Speaker 1: Flarity would be if I'm like, you know, we get
Speaker 1: all these rumors about the Padres, the Padres are super
Speaker 1: active and blah blah blah, I would be so proactive
Speaker 1: about trying to get a guy like that who can
Speaker 1: eat innings, A veteran who you have no worries about,
Speaker 1: that's going to eat all those innings, who's had a
Speaker 1: great year strikeouts are up, Like that's a premium buy.
Speaker 1: That's a premium by flarity.
Speaker 3: Oh for a team like the Pottery I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: I just how many more assets can the Padres trade?
Speaker 3: I mean they might be looking at tease hurt. You know,
Speaker 3: if Musgrove comes back healthy, maybe he's a guy that's
Speaker 3: on the way out. Yeah you got maybe he just
Speaker 3: count But also tread and water.
Speaker 1: Just wrapping this conversation up about playoffs and who would
Speaker 1: trade hashtag for James would? Yeah, James would Coming up
Speaker 1: on Monday is also a very positive sign of first
Speaker 1: off obvious, but also that this team does believe and
Speaker 1: is going to take a little stab at continuing because
Speaker 1: if they didn't feel they were in it, you could
Speaker 1: have maybe manipulated James Wood for next year. But if
Speaker 1: you're in it, you got to bring him up. Because
Speaker 1: it's gage.
Speaker 3: We're announcing it three days, like is he going to
Speaker 3: play a triple A this weekend? Because you don't want to.
Speaker 1: Get hot, they might have like, you know, a game
Speaker 1: off or something like that, or I don't know.
Speaker 3: That that's odd.
Speaker 1: Well, tickets they can, you know, they can like build
Speaker 1: up ticket prices. People are gonna want to come out
Speaker 1: like it is smart if you have a top prospect
Speaker 1: in the game that people pay attention to to preemptively
Speaker 1: do it so everybody can get all hyped up. Ticket
Speaker 1: sales can go up. I don't know Larry today.
Speaker 3: Did you guys ever figure out what triggered the serie
Speaker 3: voice during the show yesterday? No? No, it was an
Speaker 3: amazing moment and I'm very happy.
Speaker 1: I really when I was going back and doing something
Speaker 1: in the edit, I re listened to that thing and
Speaker 1: I was like, what the hell? It was like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I didn't hear what you said. It's like what there was,
Speaker 1: so you shouldn't have been listening.
Speaker 3: Stop listening. AI results negative in the X ray for
Speaker 3: Carls Korea's wrist Lars Newbar. Beginning in minor league rehab assignment.
Speaker 3: Today in double A, Ricky Titeman struck out five and
Speaker 3: two and a third. So if he's still available in
Speaker 3: your league, maybe need some pitching death you pick them up.
Speaker 3: That was in single A. So those are the guys
Speaker 3: working their way back from injuries, which is always good,
Speaker 3: and we're working our way through more bets. Yesterday was
Speaker 3: another good day and another good week for Joey P.
Speaker 3: I want to keep the train rolling with Friday's.
Speaker 1: Best Bets of the Day with Joey P and the Welsh.
Speaker 3: I'm excited Welsh isn't because it's been a rough week
Speaker 3: for him. But that's okay. We're in this together. We're
Speaker 3: the Yin and the yang, and of course you want
Speaker 3: to take your yins and your yangs and bet them
Speaker 3: all at bet three six five with the promo code
Speaker 3: leading off. Bet five bucks, get one hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: and bonus bets when you do a gambling problem called
Speaker 3: one hundred gambler one hundred bets off in Iowa, terms
Speaker 3: and conditions apply. I'm gonna go right out at it today.
Speaker 3: Houston on the money line on the road against my
Speaker 3: New York Mets minus one fifteen. Jose Cantana's on the mound.
Speaker 3: That's enough for me. Welsh and Blanco's pitched very well,
Speaker 3: so I'm gonna go ahead with the Astros on the
Speaker 3: money line minus one fifteen. Texas on the money line
Speaker 3: plus one twenty against Baltimore. Sure's are on the mound.
Speaker 3: He was talking about the thumb a little bit, but
Speaker 3: it seems okay. He's gonna make a start, So I'm
Speaker 3: holding my breath. Something tells me this is gonna go
Speaker 3: horribly wrong for me. I don't know why, but I'm
Speaker 3: just gonna put the blinders on and bet it anyway.
Speaker 3: Texas money line plus money plus one twenty against Baltimore's
Speaker 3: been very good. I think Baltimore's do here in Church
Speaker 3: is a good pitcher, and Philly's on the run line.
Speaker 3: But again the caveat here is let's see who's in
Speaker 3: the lineup as things come out later on today. Minus
Speaker 3: one and a half against the Marlins. I still think
Speaker 3: they can beat up the Marlins even if Harper or
Speaker 3: Schwarber's out, because the Marlins are the Marlins. You're getting
Speaker 3: us at minus one ten. So give me money line
Speaker 3: Texas money line Houston and run line Philly minus one
Speaker 3: and a half Welsh, what do you have for the people?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know the Philly. This is not my top bet.
Speaker 1: It's actually my third one on here. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: mention I had Philly two and I had the run line.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna adjust with you. If both Shoarbur and Harper out,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm out. Yeah, I think Harper's gonna be out.
Speaker 1: He even said after the game last night like he
Speaker 1: had not felt something like that before, So I expect
Speaker 1: Harper to be out. But if also Schwarber's out, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna nix that. And what I'm so. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: right now, I do have that. What I might add
Speaker 1: and I liked your trickiness, but I'm gonna adjust it
Speaker 1: is go to that Houston game and take the first
Speaker 1: five on the money line, and that might be what
Speaker 1: I do with Ronel Blanco. The other two bets though
Speaker 1: that are on top of my mind. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: just play stuff easy right now, or as easy as
Speaker 1: I possibly can. I did go to props yesterday. I
Speaker 1: did nail the Royce Lewis, but everything else was just
Speaker 1: it was just garbage. So today I'm gonna play a
Speaker 1: no run for sinning. I'm gonna play a Nerfy. It's
Speaker 1: juiced up a little bit. I got to get a
Speaker 1: win under my belt. Washington, Tampa Bay, Eflyn and Parker.
Speaker 1: Both of these teams are on the far bottom half
Speaker 1: of the league in first run scoring. Washington can get
Speaker 1: up there, but I think they're worse on the road
Speaker 1: a little bit. So Tampa Bay Washington, no run first inning,
Speaker 1: I'm taking that, Mitchell, Parker, Zach Eflin, and then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Chicago Cubs first five money line.
Speaker 1: Jimmison Tyn has been pretty good. That is essentially even money.
Speaker 1: That's my first five bet. Follow Joe at bettingpros dot
Speaker 1: com slash Joe Yeah you.

Speaker 3: it's time to look at the board. I did not
Speaker 3: get a home run yesterday, but you did. See, you
Speaker 3: have all these reasons to be excited. I want you
Speaker 3: to talk.
Speaker 1: I say, look at Melware. Oh wait, I'm so far
Speaker 1: down there. We would have to have we would have
Speaker 1: to have three more screens. Okay, you'll get a odd
Speaker 1: box of MLB.
Speaker 3: At twenty nine, b trot at twenty eight, PASSI at
Speaker 3: twenty eight. I'm at twenty two. So still on the
Speaker 3: board right now. I can't knock me off this board.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep it simple this weekend. Well, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go with Yankee. I'm gonna go with Aaron Judge, who
Speaker 3: hits a lot of home runs, because I just want
Speaker 3: to get I feel like I just get one. I
Speaker 3: key pace. Maybe I get to this weekend, things will
Speaker 3: go in a good direction for me. Where are you
Speaker 3: going with your home run call today?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the braves. I'm not gonna take
Speaker 1: Matt Olsen because I get yelled at when I take
Speaker 1: matt Olsen. So I'm going to take Austin Riley. Give
Speaker 1: me some Austin Riley. Believe that's up against Martin Prez.
Speaker 1: Got a fourteen percent home run to flyball ratio right now.
Speaker 1: Some good bets, and I like some of them. In here,
Speaker 1: Carlos is trying to get me to go. Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 1: Probably a really good call, Richard said Josh Naylor. I
Speaker 1: love that, and I did laugh at this bat fout said,
Speaker 1: snap out of it, Welsh. The pity party look doesn't suit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and oh then you don't know me very well.
Speaker 3: It's a good cop, he's playing bad cop. Come snap
Speaker 3: out of it, Welsh. It's okay, it's good.
Speaker 1: We snap into a slim gym.
Speaker 3: How all your expert leagues going by the way, X's horrible.
Speaker 1: No, tot was amazing, that's horrible. All my nfbc's they're middling.
Speaker 1: We were way up top. We've kind of come back down.
Speaker 1: And see how like in the middle right, it could
Speaker 1: go either way for the rest of the year. So
Speaker 1: Welsh was gonna make either a lot of money or
Speaker 1: we'll be back into don't follow me, don't listen to me,
Speaker 1: and maybe I'll just start managing some back end stuff
Speaker 1: here at Fantasy Pros and never come back on air.
Speaker 3: Hey gotta manager back end stuff the foremost.
Speaker 1: Isn't it great that James would James Wood like that?
Speaker 3: That's a reason. That's the way to end the week,
Speaker 3: and we get to start Monday show talking about James Wood,
Speaker 3: which will be very exciting little preview. We'll see who's
Speaker 3: on the mound against are they in Washington? That's my question.
Speaker 1: Probably that would be why I'm going to guess right now, Yes,
Speaker 1: because that's why you would do the three day before thing.
Speaker 3: Let's see Monday, Monday, Monday, the Washington Nationals are at
Speaker 3: home against the New York Mets.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I did like team ye New York Mets. So there
Speaker 3: you go. Everything's happening against the Mets. Will Grimace be there?
Speaker 3: I don't know, but James Wood will be.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had a grimace shake?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I haven't either. You remember do you remember the like
Speaker 1: viral was having like a seizure?
Speaker 3: But yes, I remember the grimace it was. Is that
Speaker 3: what it was? It was a grim shake?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a grimace shake and then everyone they
Speaker 1: would like drink it and then they would like all
Speaker 1: like what an awesome viral thing that is, like, hey,
Speaker 1: everybody just killed me. But I never had that.
Speaker 3: The internet is weird.
Speaker 1: But that's where we'll get one. Maybe we should go
Speaker 1: get one for Monday.
Speaker 3: For this James Wood it still exists.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a great question. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I will. I mean, there doesn't make the it's not
Speaker 3: far from me. I'm willing to give it.
Speaker 1: Can you get a grimace shake at nine am, you think,
Speaker 1: because that's what it'll be for me, that's the problem.
Speaker 3: But you, I don't know. If he could, you put
Speaker 3: in the freezer and we'll have it the next day.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it'll stay all right. I'm sure it'll be fine.
