Speaker 2: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros MLB. This is leading

00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: off Live. It is me, Joey Pjop's APPEA with me,

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: of course is the Welsh, and it's all of you,

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: the Peanuts and the cracker Jacks here on a Monday morning.

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: So much to talk about, so much baseball. We've got

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: prospecting with the Welsh, We've got injuries, we've got big performances,

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: we've got big hair from the Welsh. And a weird

20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: weekend of home run calls. According to the Wonky Penguin

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: and apparently over the weekend, just one home run from everybody.

22
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: How could that be Welsh? How could that be? How

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: it wasn't for me?

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: I can tell you because it was. No judges, no

25
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: o Tawnis. That's probably why everybody doing the Joe piece

26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: Apia School of home runs just put one of the

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 3: top two best home run hitters for the entire week

28
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: in in perpetuity and try to go with it. It

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: didn't work. Didn't work.

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,919
Speaker 2: It did not work. Also not working. The top story

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: today in the headlines the Justin Steel's elbow, it's not.

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 3: Working arms of an angel.

33
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: Justin Stealing four will not be pitching again this season.

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: He will undergo the traditional Tommy John procedure or the

35
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: internal brace. We don't know which one we're going to

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 2: get yet, but his twenty twenty five is done and

37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: it's April, which means that we're probably looking somewhere around

38
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: what like mid twenty twenty six that we get Justin

39
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: Steel back. So brutle loss for or fantasy managers everywhere,

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: but I honestly also a bigger loss to the Cubs,

41
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: because although the Milwaukee Brewers' rotation so far has been poop,

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: you can look ahead, and you see Myers on the horizon,

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: You see Woodroff on the horizon. You see a prospect

44
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about today that we've already mentioned last

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: week on the horizon. They're gonna figure it out. I

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: think this now becomes the Brewer's division to lose again.

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: I don't think the Cubs with Imanaga and the rest

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: of those Jebbronis in that rotation can compete well. Sho

49
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: am I overreacting.

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: Uh No, I think like that he's the ace, he's

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: the top guy of their staff. It already was kind

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: of like a little bit of a looser rotation. If

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: they were to go and make a move, it would

54
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: have made sense for the pitching. I will say this,

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: we are going to talk about a Cubs pitching prospect

56
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: in prospecting with the Welsh that could potentially be a guy.

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: But that's it, Like this is this one guy I'm

58
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 3: talking about's kind of like the guy. They've got a

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: ton of hitting trading assets. We're gonna do it. Marlin's Cubs.

60
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: They should have an nice, good phone conversation because you've

61
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 3: got Kevin Alcantra, James Treanto's Moises Ballastero's. They've got hitting

62
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: prospects above hitting prospects, just not a ton of pitching.

63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: Maybe that's where there could be a home. But yeah,

64
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: this is a brutal blow to the Cubs. I think

65
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 3: they need to be aggressive in that division because not

66
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: only like you were saying, kind of poopy for the Brewers,

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 3: they got guys looming. The division is very obtainable right now,

68
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: and losing a guy like Justin Steel, you could lose

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: that division. So I wouldn't be surprised that they don't

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: start making some calls and try to get whoever is available.

71
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: That's the other tricky thing, like we just know Al Contra,

72
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: we don't really know anybody else that's available. But very

73
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: very sad for Friend of the Show.

74
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: Justin front of the show, we wish him well. Is

75
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: a shame too, because you started to turn things around.

76
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: The last start was really good, and then that second opinion, well,

77
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: it's never good. It's never good. Let's turn our attention

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 2: to something that was really good yesterday, and that thing

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: was Garrett Crochet. He got really close to a no hitter. Ironically,

80
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: Chase Mydrath, who was part of the deal for Garrett

81
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: Crochet with the Red Sox, who, by the way, as

82
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: a four to twenty five career OBP. I was just

83
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: looking more deeply into him because I picked him up

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 2: in my home league this weekend. If you're an OBP league,

85
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: you got to pick up the skit. He's playing second

86
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: base two, He's doing a little bit of everything he is.

87
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: He gonna hit for power, no, the little stone bases, maybe,

88
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: but he's gonna get on base in points leagues. OBP

89
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: leagues pick him up. But anyway, this is about Crochet

90
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: seven and a third innings was toying with a no hitter,

91
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: eleven strikeouts. It was against his old teams, against the

92
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: White Sox, and it was such a stunning performance and

93
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: so moving that our own Mike Mayer was moved because

94
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: he had basically had it with all of the negativity

95
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: that the Welsh was throwing and all the raised eyebrows

96
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 2: about potentially what Garrett Crochet mayor nine looked at early

97
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: in the season. So let's take a live look here

98
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: at Mike Mahyer returning serve here after Garrett Crochet's near

99
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: no hitter in brilliant performance.

100
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 4: Happy Monday, America, or should I say Happy Monday to

101
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: everybody except Welsh. And I say that on behalf of

102
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: Garrett Crochet, who went out there on Sunday and shoved

103
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: And when I say shoved, I mean shoved it in

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 4: Welsh's face, because Welsh came on here last week trashing

105
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 4: Garrett Crochet. I'm worried about Garrett Crochet. He doesn't look great,

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: he doesn't have the fastball, the change up, doesn't look good.

107
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: The guy at a one point four or five era,

108
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: and Welsh came on here last week talking about him

109
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: like he's Paul Blackburn. Get out of here. Oh, isn't

110
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: good enough for me? Eight shutout hittings against Oriols doesn't

111
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: good enough for me? Get out of here, man, ridiculous.

112
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: How about flirting with a no hitter? Is that good

113
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 4: enough for you? Is that gonna do it for you?

114
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: Welsh?

115
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: Flirting with a no hitter? Or are you gonna have

116
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: some excuse about how he didn't look good in this

117
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 4: start too? You know what, Cally, who makes all of

118
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: our lovely graphics with all the jay's in him that

119
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 4: we all love, Let's have a new spelling change for

120
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: the rest of the season.

121
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: Let's start spelling.

122
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 5: Welsh's name differently, Let's do lowercase W, lowercase capital L

123
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 5: for Garrett Crochetes L, lowercase S, lowercase.

124
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 4: H, because you have to own the L here. My man,

125
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: you were wrong, dead wrong. He came out there, looked phenomenal,

126
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 4: flirted with a no hitter, eleven strikeouts. I don't know

127
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: what you're gonna say about this one, but I'm sure

128
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 4: you're gonna have something to say that he didn't look good.

129
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 4: And I just got to say, get out of here,

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 4: Get out of here.

131
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: Man.

132
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 4: You don't have to go home, but get the heck

133
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: up out of here with that nonsense.

134
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: Wow, you just got lowercase by Mike Mayer. Angry Mike Mayer,

135
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: who had had enough after watching Garrett Crochet's near no

136
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: hitter bid Well, it's tough to get lowercase. And if

137
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: you look right now on the graphic below you you'll

138
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: see it's happened. You are now, Chris Tell.

139
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: Actually it's kind of lowercase.

140
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: Well, lowercase W, E, upper case L, lowercase SH there,

141
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: so that happened real fast. What's it like to get

142
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: lowercase on a Monday morning? By Mike Mayor.

143
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, do you remember the movie Office Space

144
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: where it walks around, they say where whatsoever his name goes.

145
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: You ever had somebody tell you it's a case of

146
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: the Mondays, Like, oh, hell no, that was a case

147
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: of the Mondays right there. That was How long was

148
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: that video, Kelli? Could you tell me the exact time,

149
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 3: because if it was sixty two seconds, it was sixty

150
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: seconds too long. The things we've actually ever done, I

151
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: can appreciate the pick on about questioning. I mean, I

152
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: forgot we're here on a minut at forty three minute,

153
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: forty one too long. I forgot. We're on a show

154
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 3: where we don't actually question anything tangible. We just look

155
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: at everything surface level, like make me maybe Mike Mayer

156
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: does on the cycle, and we just look at surface

157
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: stats and we just say, this is the best thing.

158
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: But Garrett Crochet had not been great. This is also

159
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: coming from the guy that is Garrett Crochet at four

160
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 3: in his overall rankings this year and was the biggest

161
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: Garrett Crochet guy. And they're almost as stupid no hitter

162
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 3: against the White Sox. I'm all here for Garrett Crochet.

163
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: I'm the number one Garrett Crochet guy. But it was

164
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: right to question things look kind of weird with Garrett

165
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: Crochet early on, but it was cold. We mentioned that

166
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: probably rightfully to answer some or ask some questions. But okay,

167
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 3: I'll take the l if.

168
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: I guess that's the question. Are you still concerned all

169
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: those concerns now gone away?

170
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: Listen if you? Okay, a couple of things. First off,

171
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: Like Garret Crochet is my guy, Garrett Rach, I'll I mean,

172
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 3: if there's an L to own, I'll totally own it.

173
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: Garrettkrousche is my guy.

174
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: But like that's true.

175
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: I don't think like almost no hitting the White Sox

176
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 3: is something to be like, hey guys, he almost no

177
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: hit the White Sox. Everything is okay now, like no,

178
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: but the start was like freaking great. It was incredible

179
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 3: as fastball was back, big wift percentages, Sinker was doing

180
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: some business. Why socks hand hit fastballs. I love me

181
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: some Garret Crochet. I will take whatever l this is

182
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: supposed to be. But I also had Garrett Crochet higher

183
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: than anybody on Fantasy pros, so suck it.

184
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I thought I was the angry one,

185
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: too bead, but apparently it's Mike Mahyer nowadays. So Monday morning,

186
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: Mayor the mayor Bear was a little upset there. Good times,

187
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 2: so we'll see.

188
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: Well worth the segment on the show definitely made the

189
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: show better.

190
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: Oh hilarious.

191
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: I thought I laughed the whole time.

192
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: You laughed on the inside. All right, let's talk about

193
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: some aces that looked really good. Michael King another rarity,

194
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: complete game shoutouts. Well, we had one Sunday the Rockies.

195
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: Of course, you know, not great opponents, but who cares

196
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: because the Padres are in first place? And Nick Pavetta too,

197
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to lose the Pavetta start on Saturday.

198
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: Ten strikeouts from him. Also fantastic, Nick Pavetta, What is

199
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 2: going on? I'm telling you, man, the Padres get their

200
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: hands on a picture. You draft that guy. Logan Gilbert

201
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: also fantastic. Seven strikeouts, five innings, two three eight ERA points,

202
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 2: sixty six whip thirty two strikeouts, just four walks in

203
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 2: twenty two winnings. Cold Reagan's also great. Struck out ten

204
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: and seven two thirds against the Guardians one hundred green

205
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: seven shoutout innings, got more one hundred mile an hour

206
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: fast balls than anybody else in baseball. He struck out

207
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: eight against the Pirates outside of Garret Crochet. Of the

208
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: rest of these performances, which one was your favorite? Which

209
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: one stood out the most to you?

210
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: Welsh Nick Pavetta. But you know, I mean again, you

211
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: gotta be careful because if we just look at the

212
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: cycle surface stats here, Nick Favetta is a cy young

213
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: potential winner because he was so good.

214
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: Dragon worm into this, This is this is just Mayor.

215
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry, yeah, I don't want to.

216
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to unfairly drag the worm into this.

217
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: This is all Mike Mayor. So far is a far

218
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: I don't know who was holding the camera. It looks

219
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: like it was just on a tripod.

220
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying, but Nick, Nick Pavetta, But it

221
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: was against the Rockies. Like, let's also caveat some things

222
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: when they're worth caveating. Nick Pavetta was absolutely incredible, but

223
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 3: it was against the Rockies. But it doesn't take away that,

224
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: like he has been great. He's giving up a lot

225
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 3: of barrels right now, which is something to watch. But

226
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: his strikeouts are about on par where they were last year.

227
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: He's just not giving up a whole lot of runs.

228
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 3: He's great in San Diego. It's kind of everything that

229
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: we were kind of hoping for. But you know, take

230
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 3: this start move it forward, as like you can feel

231
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: very comfortable with him. I don't think there's any type

232
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: of cell or anything like that, but as far as

233
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: like what you weren't expecting necessarily like Pavetta's Pavetta's early

234
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: onset of the season should like have everybody pretty excited

235
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 3: because he was kind of free ninety nine. You know,

236
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: he's probably like sp like oh yeah, five or six

237
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: or something like that.

238
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: League winner. Right now, here's one from link. Would you

239
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: start Carlos Estevez er job versus case in a weekly

240
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: points league, wins or three quality stars are five, saves

241
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: are seven. If I'm just sitting in forgetting for a week,

242
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take my shots with Estevez. I actually like

243
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: the Royals today against the Yankees with Lugo in the

244
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: mound against Carrasco. So that's seven points right there for

245
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: a save. I'm thinking, So I'm going to Stevez, how

246
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: about you?

247
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm down with that. Like job definitely looked better

248
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,719
Speaker 3: in this last star. But yeah, if you're gonna get

249
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: seven points per seve, if it saves are more than

250
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: a win, go with it.

251
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 2: Hate that this is why I don't like five x

252
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 2: five rodal because it's like, oh, I've got Chase saves

253
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: and something that saves three outs. It's one freakin' inning.

254
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: It's it's three outs. I mean sometimes it's more, but

255
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: rarely nowadays. And it's just so frustrating. A win is

256
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: five innings at least of pitching, right, a minimum five

257
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: innings to get a win, and yet it's valued the

258
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 2: same or in this circumstance and a bad points structure

259
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: less than a save for its three outs. It's absolutely dumb.

260
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: I hate it. It's stupid. Now I'm mad, all right,

261
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: let me get happy again. Spencer Schreider is going to

262
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: be back on track to make his debut Wednesday against

263
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays. This is great. He looked filthy. Five

264
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: and a third innings, thirteen strikeouts in the rehab start.

265
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: Nothing left to prove. Marcus Simeon took a spot on

266
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 2: the bench one of our by lows. Look it's rock

267
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: bottom here right now. He's getting one twenty three, one homer,

268
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: no steals. I mean, Marcus Simeyon is good. I can't

269
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: think of a lower point in his career, all the

270
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: way back into like this, beginning of Oakland, Like that's

271
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: the last time you could see Marcusimey in this low.

272
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 2: So I'm buying everywhere. This is a unique opportunity Welsh

273
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: and now it is officially rock bottom.

274
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, how you were saying that. I wasn't

275
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 3: sure if you were like just saying like the output

276
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: is low and you're still a by or you're just.

277
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: Like the output were about twenty three and we were

278
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: talking about how you know, just last week that he

279
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: was a by low. Now he's getting benched. You know

280
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: he's still get at the top of that order. I mean,

281
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: I'm buying Marcus Imyan. Still, this is great news if

282
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: you're still in that market.

283
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've I've been saying it, but yeah, everything just

284
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 3: doesn't look good. But the Rangers as a whole, you know,

285
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 3: Jack Berger doesn't have things going, adult East is trying

286
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: to bounce back. Simon is one of those. Simon is

287
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 3: the one that's the interesting thing about is just like

288
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: everything is low from like an underlying standpoint, Like he's

289
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: not hitting the ball as already striking out more, he's

290
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 3: not barreling. Like everything just looks bad. So I think

291
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 3: there's that little thing that's in people's minds. That's like,

292
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 3: you know, he's getting older, four years old, like when

293
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: is it gonna start downticking? But that offense is just

294
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: it's too it's too big. The environmentally great. He's leading

295
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: off like he's gonna he's gonna bounce back, and if

296
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 3: he doesn't bounce back, then it's like, you know what,

297
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 3: then you can keep that. You can keep that L there.

298
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: By the way, it's kind of a nice logo, by

299
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 3: the way, the we with the big L s A. Yeah,

300
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: I kind of like it. It's it's not about the

301
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: only thing the logo.

302
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: The only My only critique of Mayor is that he

303
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: gave the L in the wrong direction when he was

304
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: throwing it up there. But that's hard sometimes because you

305
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: don't know which way the camera's going. That's all right,

306
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: that comes with experience.

307
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: Thank you Kelly for keeping this up. We'll keep this

308
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: up the rest of the show.

309
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: Then, oh, we are a couple questions about Michael Bush.

310
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: Be weezy, you pick him up, you think he stays hot.

311
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: You have McGrady here with the question is he must

312
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: pick up? Any thoughts on Michael Bush's recent hot streak.

313
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: Here, Yeah, I think he is.

314
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: Should people be chasing the hot bush? I guess that's

315
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: the question we're asking ourselves.

316
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,239
Speaker 3: I would be chasing the hot bush. But here's the problem.

317
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: Every damn player that is really good right now is

318
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: like a first basement. Someone asked me on Twitter before

319
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: the show, like, Hey, They're like, hey, Tristan Constans is

320
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: out there, who should I drop? Sodastrom Torque And You're

321
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: just like, oh my god, Like you know, they're all

322
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 3: just in a really good spot. But you know, Michael

323
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 3: Bush is almost fifty percent hard hit right now, right now,

324
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: strikeout rates going lower, launch angles up, He's barreling the

325
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: crap out of the ball. He's putting a pretty good

326
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 3: prime spot. I don't know, Like, if you had to rank, okay,

327
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: rank Michael Bush among let's put let's put yeah, torqu

328
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: and soda Strom. Let's just put him out there.

329
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: I'll take Torkals, I'll take Soderstrom, Torkalsen Bush. That's my ranking.

330
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: But is there a tier difference? Because I think that

331
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: might be the right one. But is there a tear difference?

332
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think for me still, I think that Well, look,

333
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 2: the soda Strom hawstreak has been fantastic because of that ballpark.

334
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: I think I'm still gonna I'm gonna keep those two guys.

335
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna so Stroms here. Okay, I'm gonna go give

336
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: me the levels. Here's the level for this is very technical.

337
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: So if you're watching, this is helpful. If you're not,

338
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: if you're just listening on the podcast, it's not gonna

339
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 2: be helpful at all. Go watch on YouTube. So sod

340
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: Frum's here, Towrklosen's right about there, and then Bush is

341
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: a little bit lower in this tier here, so you're

342
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: a little bit.

343
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: Of sealation ginormous. How you did that, by the way, Well, no,

344
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: it's a huge tar well like you used the whole screen.

345
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 2: Michael Bush. I kind of know Michael Bush is not

346
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: Spencer Torkosen was a top overall prospect at one point,

347
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: so there's always that hope that all of a sudden

348
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: he figures out and becomes a star. I don't I

349
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: don't think we're ever going to get that, but it

350
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: still exists. Michael Bush is just a nice player, Like

351
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: I never thought Michael Busch was going to be a

352
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: franchise building player, whereas we all thought Torkosen would and

353
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: Soda Strum again, it's the ballpark factor that I just

354
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: can't deny right now. I've got to stay locked into him.

355
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: I think Bush is in the corner endfield like pick

356
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: up twelve team corner infielder. I think you think you

357
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 3: can pick him up right And he said, nuver three

358
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: hundred XBA is like right under three hundred. He's doing

359
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 3: a little bit of everything great, not even pulling the

360
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 3: ball a ton in the air as much as he

361
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 3: did last year. I think he's in that range of

362
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: those players. He just actually might be available, you know

363
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 3: where Sodastrum and Torque would have already been picked up.

364
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: Want to shout out correlation first time on the twitches

Speaker 2: Subscribe trying to get to thirty thousand subscribers. Let's talk

371
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 2: about Mike Trout for a moment. Mike Trout up to

372
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: six homers, tied for the league lead. He has fourteen rbi.

373
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: He is hitting just one ninety six though, with a

374
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: two ninety nine OVP. Now last year, right, if you

375
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 2: just kind of duck back a little bit, you know,

376
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: to the twenty nine games that he played in twenty

377
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: twenty four he had two twenty he had ten homers

378
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 2: and fourteen RBI. And we started to ask ourselves in

379
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: mid April, is this the time to trade Mike Trout?

380
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: Do you remember this conversation we had last mid April

381
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: where he was starting to get hot with the homers

382
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: and we thought, up, he's back. Do you want to

383
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 2: get out from Mike Trout? So twofold question here is

384
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 2: it time to get out from Mike Trout? And second

385
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: question Welsh? Can you get out from under Mike Trout

386
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: if you want to?

387
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 3: I mean you know the answer for me, it's gonna

388
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: be no. You hate Mike Trout. I love Mike Trout.

389
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 3: I was Trout well, I mean you were like, you

390
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 3: don't draft. I mean I had him so much higher

391
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 3: than any of you guys, Like Mike Trout was on

392
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 3: my All Welsh team for this year. I'm a big

393
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: buyer on him, regardless of the stupid injury stuff.

394
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: Can hold on it's not stupid injury stuff. One hundred

395
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: and thirty four games in twenty nineteen. He has only

396
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: played Okay, we had the short season in twenty twenty,

397
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: then thirty six games one hundred nineteen eighty two, twenty

398
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: nine and fifteen so far this year. So it's not stupid,

399
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 2: it's relevant and it's real. Just saying, I mean, I

400
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 2: dismissed it, say it was.

401
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: I'm it felt.

402
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: A little dismissive of it. I feel like a little

403
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 2: bit where like all the silly injury stuff, it's not silly.

404
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: It's it's a reality for this guy. Oh it sucks,

405
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 2: but it's true.

406
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

407
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: So I am a buyer of Mike Trout as I

408
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: was and I still am. If you want to sell him,

409
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: you could. It's probably not a great time he had.

410
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: The average is low, but he's got a one thirty

411
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: two babbit. His expected adding average is around two seventy.

412
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 3: He's hitting the ball super hard. We're gonna get average.

413
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: That's gonna come back. But that silly or big injury stuff.

414
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 3: If that, if that's the thing that you want to

415
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 3: push for, that's okay. I understand that. Because you got

416
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 3: screwed last year. Just like you said, but you need

417
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 3: to wait a little bit. You need to wait for

418
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: the average to come up. That's great that he's up

419
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: on homers, but people are still going to hold you

420
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: back once he's around like two forty two to fifty.

421
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: If you want to get out, get out. But I'm

422
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: still in the place where if I'm getting one hundred

423
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 3: to one hundred and twenty games out of Mike Trout,

424
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: I just don't think the return is going to make

425
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: sense because any single person like you're doing is going

426
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 3: to throw the injury caveat in a trade, and what

427
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 3: you can get from a production standboy to me is

428
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 3: going to make more sense. But you know, let's see

429
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: what the returns are if you guys want to get out,

430
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 3: But this is not the time to trade Mike Trout

431
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: right now now when he's hitting under two hundred.

432
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: All right, A good job by somebody putting in the

433
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: chat there too. The XB A sixty nine, I think

434
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: also real quick Jacob de Gram after three starts as

435
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: a four to three ERA and a six point two

436
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 2: one whip excuse me, six point two one fip not whip,

437
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: pardon me? So so far the Jacob de Gram results

438
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 2: have not been good either, just putting that out there,

439
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: not been great, not being great. Beat. There's a question here,

440
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: Strider or Pepio, Boston and New York and that Bogus

441
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: Ballpark weekly lineups, and I'm loaded with two star guys

442
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: this week. Look, I'm gonna take the two starts from Pepio.

443
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 2: He's been so good. I'm just gonna lock that up.

444
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 2: I want to get both these guys in the lineup.

445
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I guess, well, she's kind of

446
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 2: rocking a hard place here.

447
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: Points league gets pretty easy. I'd go with Pepio. Boston's

448
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: offense has just been so blah. Yeah, I mean, you're

449
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: you're probably gonna have Strider on some type of a cap.

450
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: It's a little bit it's it's also a little bit

451
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: of a tougher matchup, and Bed said it is points,

452
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, go with Pepio.

453
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 2: Michael King at Houston or Peralta versus the Athletics. I think,

454
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I got go Michael King here. Like it's

455
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: just been crazy. He's been crazy good.

456
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: He's doing his like he's doing like back and forth,

457
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: he's doing like weird back and forth right now. But

458
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 3: I would go with Michael King. Like one starts good,

459
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: one's bad.

460
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's go down the farm real quick. Here

461
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: the Orioles prospect, Kobe Mayo hit a solo home run,

462
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: so that's good, little signs of life for him. Ben

463
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: Williamson called up by the Mariners. And I believe I'm

464
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: saying this right. Audiel Amador recalled by the Rockies from

465
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 2: TRIPAA to play second base. But you know what that means,

466
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: we start talking about the youngsters. It's time for prospecting

467
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: with the Welsh. That's right. Every week the Welsh goes

468
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: deep into the minor league prospects and brings us some

469
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: names that you need to know. So Welsh, let's start

470
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: here with Nick Kurtz, because he just does not stop

471
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 2: hitting home runs every single day, more and more home runs.

472
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: He's up to seven out, hitting three sixty with a

473
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: twelve hundred ops. And you saw Brent Rooker move to

474
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 2: Alfield for the weekend. A couple starts there. You saw

475
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: Sodashirm taking grounders at third. I think Nick Kurtz is

476
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: coming sooner than later. He's only rostered fifty percent of

477
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: leagues right now.

478
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: He's the number one guy. This is these first two

479
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: guys are kind of like should be the no brainers

480
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: for a lot of peace. But these are our updates.

481
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: So this is the Nick Kurtz update, of course, the

482
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 3: most important thing, and we got to monitor how it's

483
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: going to go this week. I think this is going

484
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 3: to be critical to how aggressive they push it. But

485
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 3: we saw Brent Rooker play right field over the weekend,

486
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 3: by the way, which was interesting. You would assume more

487
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 3: of a left fielder. Lawrence Butler was getting the day off.

488
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 3: They put Shae Lang the leers in at DH. It

489
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 3: kind of opens up a path, but then they went

490
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 3: right back to Rooker playing DH on Sunday. Let's monitor

491
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 3: this week. If Rooker does have at least even one

492
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: more outfield game, I just don't know how much longer

493
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: they can keep him down there. He has more homers

494
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 3: than anybody in professional baseball right now, so that is

495
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 3: major leagues or minor leaguers. He is just continuing to

496
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: smash the ball, big exit velocities, consistent exit velocities. He

497
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 3: will thrive in that ballpark. We did a breakdown last week.

498
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 3: I don't remember if it was here, I think it

499
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: was on the live stream. We did on Wednesdays four

500
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: pm Eastern if you guys want to hang out. Not

501
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 3: with Piece of Pa this week, but me and Joe

502
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: Rico we did a breakdown of the ballpark factors this

503
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 3: year year and that A's minor league ballpark. There's just

504
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. So Kurtz is going to absolutely

505
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 3: thrive when given the opportunity. They're showing us little tiny

506
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 3: baby signs of what it could look like where Rooker

507
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 3: would play left, you'd have Butler and right Bledet in

508
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: the outfield. Right now, Miguel and you are is the

509
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 3: one holding Nick Kurtz back a little bit, and I

510
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: just don't think the A's are going to allow it

511
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: too much longer. So Kurtz your number one hitter that

512
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: you should be stashing.

513
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt about it. I think it's going

514
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: to be this week, Welsh, I really do. I got

515
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: a feeling in my bones about it. Hopefully I'm right.

516
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bubba Chandler. He had another good start

517
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 2: at TRIPAA, so when White might we possibly see him

518
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: back again with the Pirates.

519
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 3: So I think it's got to be soon. The only

520
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: thing is in this last start, I kind of thought

521
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: they would push the pitch count up a little bit.

522
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: So his first start was pretty wonky. He was he

523
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: walked three, he only had fifty two pitches fastball, slider.

524
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 3: Second start, he looked phenomenal. Even when he's off though.

525
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: His fastball and slider just they generate big whiffs, you know.

526
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 3: Bubba Chandler like a high nineties VLO guy. Eight strikeouts,

527
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 3: four innings, two walks. His next start, he just had

528
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: four innings. He gave up his first couple earned runs,

529
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 3: his first homer, struck out six, didn't walk any. Batting

530
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 3: average is low, but they didn't push the innings. I

531
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 3: think he's got to have minimum one more start, and

532
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: I think they got to push him to seventy and

533
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 3: then I think he's on the clock, so I think

534
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 3: sometime in late April early May. That's why, if you've

535
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 3: got the ability to you should stash a guy like

536
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 3: Bubba Chandler. Not all prospects are like, even if they

537
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 3: come up, are worthy of getting out there. Bubba Chandler

538
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 3: is a guy that right out the shoot you're gonna

539
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 3: want to get in. He's gonna have high strikeouts, Hopefully

540
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 3: the walks are gonna be maintained, but I think that's

541
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: what they're looking for. No one's getting a good batting

542
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: average off of him, and I think it's going to

543
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 3: be one more start after this where we could see him.

544
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 3: So both Bubba Chandler and Nick Kurtz could be anywhere

545
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 3: from a week and a half to I mean you

546
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 3: go much further, but like within the next two weeks.

547
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 3: I think both of them really, really, really could be

548
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: on the major league teams.

549
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: All right. With the injury to Justin Steel, that means

550
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: open spot in the rotation. So for the Cubs, what's

551
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: the internal options look like? Is there somebody maybe you

552
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 2: have her mark that could get an opportunity sooner than later.

553
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: So from the minor league standpoint, we've got to stare

554
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 3: at KD Horton. So that's gonna be a guy that there. Yeah,

555
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if in the like immediate while they're

556
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 3: trying to figure out what's going on, if they're going

557
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: to throw him in there, but with these injury issues,

558
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 3: I think it is something they're going to look at.

559
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: Kate Horton's got two starts so far with the Triple

560
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 3: A Cubs in the miners A one, two, three, Era

561
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: twelve strikeouts, little bit walky, that's going to be his problem.

562
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 3: He has seven walks in seven innings pitch, but he's

563
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 3: also struck out twelve. He's also kind of on the

564
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 3: Bubba Chandler pushing the innings. He would be very fantasy interesting,

565
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 3: but we've got to see, like what that consistency's going

566
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 3: to look like. Cate Horton's like a top prospect as well.

567
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,239
Speaker 3: He's just had some injury problems for the last kind

568
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 3: of year and a half, not getting tons and tons

569
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 3: of work. But I don't know if they'll throw him

570
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 3: in right out the shoot. They may have some just

571
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 3: like weird internal option, maybe look into the free agent market.

572
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 3: But I do think we should pay attention to Kate

573
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 3: Horton because there's some good strikeout potential and great offensive support,

574
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: and I think he's about one of the only actual

575
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 3: viable They might have another option or two, but he's

576
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 3: one of the viable options that they could go to

577
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: now that Justin is going to be out.

578
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: For the year. They're up against it, though, I'm telling

579
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: you the Cubs are in a bad spot. They could

580
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: I feel like there's three guys they couldn't afford to

581
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 2: lose this year Ibanaga Tucker obviously, and then Steal and

582
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 2: this just puts the Cubs in a bad spot. No

583
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: offense to Horton here, he can hear all the whos

584
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: he wants. There's no way he's going to replace Justin Steele.

585
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: He just can't do it. So maybe give you a

586
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: couple starts, maybe you know, can get the walks under control.

587
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: That would be nice. There is a picture that I

588
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: am excited about. Now, maybe it's going to get a

589
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 2: little bit more complicated for Logan Henderson to make it

590
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 2: to that rotation with Woodruff getting another rehab start this

591
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 2: week and Tobias Meyer's working his way back. But regardless,

592
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 2: you have to look at the work so far that

593
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: Logan Henderson has done this year. Fourteen innings, twenty four

594
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: strikeouts for him three point two. I talked about him

595
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: on the Sunday TV Show quite a bit. This is

596
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 2: the guy that I want to stash on my bench

597
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: in deeper leagues because I do think at some point

598
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: there's gonna be ten to twelve starts to be had

599
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: for Logan Henderson because if you keep pitching like this

600
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden there's an opening in

601
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 2: this division that maybe, just maybe the Brewers are like, Okay,

602
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: we're right back in this thing. We can fix some

603
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: of the things have gone wrong. Yes, the rotation has

604
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 2: been rough to start the year. But Logan Henderson could

605
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: be one of the answers.

606
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 3: Wellsh I do think he could be the I mean

607
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,239
Speaker 3: they've also got Jacob Mizerowski, who I really think when

608
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 3: Miserowski comes up, he's probably gonna if it's this year,

609
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 3: it would be in some form of like relief. There's

610
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 3: still some like you know, like walk questions with him.

611
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: Logan Henderson had that a little bit early on, but

612
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 3: his last start really picked it back up. He's now

613
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: got a three era. He's striking out everybody I've mentioned,

614
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: you know, cause I watched him a lot last year.

615
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 3: He's a command guy, and I think he is best

616
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 3: suited because that's the other thing. Miserowski's kind of the

617
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 3: bigger fantasy talent. But I think Logan Henderson's best suited

618
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: to jump into a rotation and maybe hold it for

619
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 3: a bit. But like you said, there's weird questions about

620
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: you know, you've got tobias and you've got Woodruff coming

621
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: here soon. But it doesn't mean they're not going to

622
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 3: need the help. Logan Henderson's last really good start kind

623
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: of activates that clock as well. So he's a tier

624
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: under the guys we've been talking about. I mean, I

625
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 3: think he's Him and Kate Horton are kind of in

626
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 3: the same general vicinity Kurtz and Chandler. You just got

627
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: to do it. These guys, they might be really interesting

628
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 3: spot stars or more interesting to hold if they are

629
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 3: given like a long term look at a rotation. But

630
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 3: I expect Logan Henderson and Kate Horton to probably get

631
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: a look in the very near future.

632
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: All Right, one more guy for the Marlins you want

633
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: to talk about. It's actually a catching prospect.

634
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Augustine Ramirez, former New York Yankee. I love Augustine

635
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: Ramirez big hard hit numbers. He's he's super weird too,

636
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: and it's just minor league career because he's one of

637
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 3: those guys, like, first off, we don't see big stolen

638
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: based numbers from catchers, and you kind of always assume

639
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 3: they're going to go back down. Still twenty two bases

640
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 3: last year, hit twenty five homers year before that, he's

641
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 3: stole twelve year before that, he's stole thirteen power has

642
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: increased four straight minor league seasons, and so far in

643
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: Triple A he's hitting two to eighty with a three

644
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 3: forty five OBP. He's stolen four bases again, He's got

645
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: two homers eight of his eight of his fourteen hits

646
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: or extra base variety. And this guy is consistently hitting

647
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: the ball hard. There's some strikeout stuff with him, but

648
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: I kind of thought he might get a look here

649
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 3: soon because Nick Foortes went on the IL and they're

650
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: running up two lefty catchers. They've got Liam Hicks and

651
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 3: I think Rob Brantley. I think with also what the

652
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: DH situation is looking like there with like Jonah Bride

653
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 3: and how gross that is that you might see Augustine

654
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 3: Ramirez come in and do some DH and catching here

655
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 3: in the very near future. So I think he would

656
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: be kind of two catcher league fantasy relevant with those

657
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: big homers. So I take a look at Augustine Ramirez

658
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 3: or Augustin Ramirez.

659
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: Great question here from rip my WiFi is Kurtz is

660
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: so good they'd be willing to drop Torko center Ben Rice.

661
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 2: That is a tough but I think This is you

662
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 2: know what people can start asking themselves. They're going to

663
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: look at their roster and say, who do I want

664
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: to drop for Nick Kurtz. I have a tough time

665
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 2: dropping Rice for him, and Torkosen's performed very well. It's

666
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: probably a no for me on those two. But Welsh,

667
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: this is tough. Maybe I don't want to drop a

668
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: one for one first basement of those are the types

669
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: of guys though, that are the bottom of your roster.

670
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: You might not have a choice. So would you drop

671
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: Rice or Torkelsen for the lottery ticket of Kurtz?

672
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: I don't think I would. There's a little part of

673
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 3: me that doesn't buy what Torklsen's gonna do all season long.

674
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: His strikeout rates still really really high. But I think

675
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 3: I would not make that move quite yet, because it's

676
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: also it's still in question. We just don't know about

677
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: Nick Kurtz and when he's actually going to be up.

678
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: We're just playing speculation. So to drop like really really

679
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 3: productive players right now, I don't think so.

680
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: All right, that's prospecting with the Welsh. Everybody make sure

Speaker 2: or you can catch it video on demand on YouTube.

687
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: Let's get to the three up and three down. Oh,

688
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: there we go. I was worried for a second there.

689
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: I felt so unclothed. All right, up, Pete crow Armstrong.

690
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: According to Cubs fans, look, I'm giving the Cubs some

691
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: kind of positive two home runs for him. You know,

692
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: the Cub fans are not feeling good. Wonky's very mad

693
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: at me for telling her that the Cubs are in

694
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: a bad spot. There, Code I Senga seven innings, four hits,

695
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: Mets shout out the Athletics, eight nothing, jung Huli two

696
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: home runs yesterday four Ribby's great win for the Giants

697
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 2: over the Yankees. Three down. Carlos Rodan not good. That

698
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: era is at five four eight. Now, this is interesting

699
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: because he was kind of cruising here and then the

700
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 2: wheels just kind of fell off for him. Five and

701
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 2: two thirds innings for him. The Jung Huli homer was

702
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: the one that kind of you know, really tanked him there.

703
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 2: Chris Sale allowed four runs, just three earned, four and

704
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 2: third innings, But I'd be buying on Sale. His ERA

705
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: is at six point sixty three right now, his ex

706
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: FIP is at three point three to two. He still

707
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: got twenty four strikeouts and nineteen innings. This is a

708
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: great by low opportunity. I know Sales a little older,

709
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: so or always con Okay, are we getting to a

710
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: spot where maybe you know something's wrong? I don't think

711
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: it is. I think the Braves are just off to

712
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: a weird collective start. And then Zach Wheeler another big a.

713
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: So these are three big pitching names having bad weekends.

714
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: Four runs and six innings for him. Who are you

715
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 2: most concerned about? Wheeler, Sale, Rodin.

716
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: Oh Radon with like out a question those other guys,

717
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 3: I'm really not. Redon's walks are way up right now,

718
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: even though he does have a three two two expected era.

719
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 3: You know, so it's he's just uh in the wrong direction,

720
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 3: overly performing. The expected batting average against is really low

721
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: as well, but I don't love the walk rate. The

722
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 3: ballpark also just doesn't feel super great, and the back

723
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 3: half of the of his starts are starting to become

724
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 3: of a question. And also you pair them with Zach Wheeler,

725
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 3: who's the top five SP and then you pair it

726
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 3: with Chris Sale cy young Winner. If I have to

727
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: pick between them, it's not even remotely close. It's Carlos

728
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: for don. But I'm with you. I'm buying if I

729
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: don't think there's anything with Wheeler for anybody. But if

730
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: someone was looking at those starts with Sale one hundred percent,

731
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 3: by right now.

732
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,240

00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: some good ones here. I'm gonna run through these. We

743
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: drop Shaw for Kurts, I say yes, what's say you?

744
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

745
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 2: Would you drop casses for rice? Yes? One thousand percent?

746
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably?

747
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 2: And would you drop cruise for Kurts? Mmmm, that's tricky.

748
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 2: Do what about cosses for Kurts? That trick here? I'm

749
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 2: gonna say no too. Okay, this is good. This is

750
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 2: how we're we're trying to get to, you know, a

751
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: little sense of what's available here, what's uh, what we

752
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: should be dropping, what we shouldn't be in order to

753
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: pick up the process. So injuries George Springer day to day.

754
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: X rays on the leftist came back negative, but I

755
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: imagine he's going to be out for a couple of days.

756
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 2: Breton Doyle absent for the lineup again Sunday he has

757
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 2: a quad issue. Richard fitz goes on the fifteen day

758
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: il with the PEX strain. That's not good, but on

759
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: the good side. Zach Netto with the shoulder, played nine

760
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 2: innings at shortstop in his rehab start on Sunday, so

761
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: we expect him to be activated this week. Tobias Meyers

762
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: won five innings and the second minor league rehab start,

763
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: three runs, six hits. Liam Hendricks a scoreless sitting for him.

764
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: We'll see if he works his way back this week.

765
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: Lance mccullor is the name we haven't talked about in

766
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 2: a very long time. He's gonna make another minor league

767
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 2: rehab start this weekend for the Double A Corpus Christie team.

768
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 2: Clark Schmidt will make his debut on Wednesday, So Schmidt

769
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: comes back, Spencer Schreider comes back Wednesday, and then Terry

770
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: Francona still hasn't made a decision about activating Alexis Diaz,

771
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: so at least some help is on the way with pitchers.

772
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: You know, I know we've been through a long winding

773
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: road here with Lance mccullors over the years. If you're

774
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 2: in a deeper league and you're kind of hurting for pitching,

775
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: would you speculate on mccolors. I wouldn't.

776
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 3: I have no interest in Lance mccullar's he's okay, he's

777
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,280
Speaker 3: always injured. I mean, there's a guy more injured reprone

778
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 3: than Mike Trout. It would probably be Lance mccullors. So

779
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 3: I have almost no interest in Lance McCall he's let's

780
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 3: see him do it. There's so many more interesting players

781
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: out there. I would probably rather have a stream spot

782
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: open to stream out guys than I would hold on

783
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 3: to Lance.

784
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 2: Mccullor's let's talk about mydraft for a second here too.

785
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 2: I kind of touched on him earlier. I don't expect

786
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: a law from this guy, but if you're in a

787
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: fifteen team league, especially OBP, you should grab him. He's

788
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 2: gonna hit at the top of the order. The White

789
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: Sox have no reason out to play him every day.

790
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 2: Teal should be up pretty soon too. This is kind

791
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 2: of crazy. I thought he was going to get the

792
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: call when they catcher injury happened. He didn't, So I'm

793
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: not expecting a great season from him. But if you're

794
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 2: in a points league or OBP, I think he has

795
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: some value. Welsh, what do you think of him as

796
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 2: a prospect?

797
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, in points league, I've never been super big on

798
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 3: my draft, but like, he's kind of kind of Jacob

799
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 3: wilsony where. Yeah, I don't think he's in a strikeout

800
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 3: super ton. He's gonna get on base. I mean he's

801
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 3: sucking a decent amount right now. He hits for a

802
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 3: lot of average. It's going to be empty ish ish

803
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: from the power and speed department. Not like to really

804
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 3: big degrees, but like you said, he's gonna probably end

805
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 3: up moving a little bit higher. I picked him up

806
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 3: in a played in like the sixteen team league, his

807
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 3: head to head crazy league. I swooped him right up

808
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 3: because he's going to get regular playing time between short

809
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 3: and second, and I think they're committed to him. And

810
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 3: that was something I had said with Brooks Baldwin. When

811
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 3: Brooks Baldwin started playing some outfield, it was like, Oh,

812
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 3: they're just clearly opening up this spot, so my draft

813
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 3: could move between both positions. So really good for your

814
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 3: batting average, Probably not going to be great for a

815
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: whole lot of other things. OBP plus points plus All.

816
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: Right, it's that time, boys and girls, the time for

817
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: the best bets of the day with Joey P and

818
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: the Welsh. I'm going for some games today. That's right,

819
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 2: moneyline Monday for Joey P. And oh oh no, look

820
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: at that. The Welsh is still the capital L in

821
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 2: the lowercase here too. I love a good running joke,

822
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 2: that's what I can say. Oh, I'll give you the

823
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: money line today for the Kansas City Chiefs plus one

824
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: sixteen on the road against the Yankee Seth Lugo in

825
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 2: the mound against Carlos Cookie Carrasco. I know which way

826
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: that cookie crumbles, and it crumbles with a lot of

827
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 2: runs typically, So I'll take the better picture on the

828
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 2: mound and take my chances. Yankee offense kind of scuffling

829
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: a little bit over the last couple of days. Give

830
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: me the money line for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against

831
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers. I've been doing football all day, not the Buccaneers,

832
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,959
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Rays, the Rays, my bad, and the

833
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 2: Boston Red Sox today minus one sixteen Shane Bos who

834
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: got bumped a healthy bump yesterday. There's nothing wrong with him.

835
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: They just moved him a day. I don't know what's

836
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 2: because they, you know, are somehow gonna drop latel out

837
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 2: of the rotation or what. I don't know what's going

838
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 2: on there. We didn't really did you see anything about

839
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: why Bos got bumped yesterday?

840
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: I mean at younger pictures they pushed They also they

841
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 3: put in Joe was Joe Boyle, who was really good,

842
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 3: and they might end up wanting to keep in the rotation.

843
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 3: So I think it might have been setting up proper

844
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 3: rotational stuff. So no, the answer is no. I didn't

845
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 3: see like an official word for it, but I don't

846
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: really worry about young pictures getting pushed like a day.

847
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 3: And then also it aligned with Boyle being really good

848
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 3: and them talking about keeping him in the rotation.

849
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: Look anything to keep Lttel out of it. And we

850
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: don't know when mclodahn comes back, but regardless, give me

851
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: the money line for Tampa with bos on the Mount.

852
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: Boz over his last ten starts going back to last

853
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: year has been fantastic and I don't think enough people

854
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 2: were taking notice of it. And then Houston money Line.

855
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 2: My boy friend Bervaldez. He's going against Sunny Gray. Probably

856
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: the only picture that I fear even remotely in Saint Louis,

857
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: but I don't feel Saint Louis is up to task.

858
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 2: So give me Houston money Line, Tampa money Line, and

859
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 2: Casey Royals not the Chiefs on the money line. Welsh, Oh,

860
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 2: where are you're going here? I've got NFL Draft on

861
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 2: the brain. I guess where are you going? For your

862
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: best bets of the day.

863
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 3: On Monday, I'm gonna jump into a strikeout prop. We're

864
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 3: gonna go with Terry Scouobel going up against the Milwaukee Brewers,

865
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Brewers higher up there on the strikeout marker, especially

866
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,839
Speaker 3: against lefties, So Terreke's scouble at seven feels pretty good.

867
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: Handful the guys this weekend. This gun shy right now

868
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 3: with how some of this stuff has been going. But

869
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 3: just everybody this weekend was just chalking up. It was

870
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 3: just Crochet striking out, Reagan striking out. We're gonna get

871
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 3: back with Trig Scuoble and a pretty good matchup here

872
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 3: Lefty on Brewer, So that's a little bit juiced up,

873
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 3: might even be worse this morning, but Treg Scuble over

874
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 3: six point five strikeouts, Toronto first five money line, and

875
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 3: I am backing our boy Lucas. I'm on the Toronto side.

876
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: Let me get the match up here up against Atlanta.

877
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,959
Speaker 3: Atlanta has absolutely struggled against lefty, so Easton's out there.

878
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 3: I like them on the push or obviously on the win,

879
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 3: so first five innings for them to be winning, I'll

880
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 3: either push or take that. They've also been scoring through

881
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 3: the first five. Atlanta's offense has just been really struggling,

882
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: So Easton, Lucas, I'm backing here and Pittsburgh Washington Nurphy,

883
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: Paul Skins is back in and the Lord, I am

884
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 3: Lord Lord, Lord, Lord Brad Lord has been sneak good too.

885
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 3: The organization really does like him and I think this

886
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 3: is a good, good matchup to start the day for

887
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 3: a no run through the first inning. So Toronto first five, Pittsburgh, Washington,

888
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 3: Nurphy and Terry Scooble over six and a half strikeouts.

889
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 3: So those are my picks.

890
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,120

905
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: home run board, boys and girls, and you got lowercase

906
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 2: here too. Oh my goodness. But it doesn't matter because

907
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,479
Speaker 2: you're on this board and I don't see Mike Mayor

908
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 2: on this board, Welsh. So maybe you could record a

909
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: video looking for him in different places around your house

910
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: or you know, in the mailbox or in the dryer.

911
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: Where's Mike Mayor on the home run board? I don't know.

912
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 2: I've only got two. I'm miserable so far. But nobody

913
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 2: had any home runs this weekend. It was a very

914
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,959
Speaker 2: weird weekend. One home run all weekend. I'm gonna go ahead,

915
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: and this is not piggybacking the Welsh. I put this

916
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 2: in there, and then I realized after I put it in,

917
