Speaker 1: Dusty makes history. Let's play ball. Welcome in everyone to
Speaker 1: lead it all. May the Fourth be with you. It's
Speaker 1: me Joey P. Joe P's a pier. And if you're
Speaker 1: wondering why I sound like this on the podcast, it's
Speaker 1: because I'm speaking through a Darth Vader mask. On the
Speaker 1: YouTube channel YouTube dot com Slash Fantasy Pros MLB. We're
Speaker 1: brought to you by bet MGM, the King of sports Books.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could possibly get my crown
Speaker 1: over this helmet, but we might try later. Mike Mayer
Speaker 1: is with us today. What's up, Mike Mayor? And no,
Speaker 1: it's not funny. Stop telling me to take the mask off,
Speaker 1: because I already took the mask off because that's just
Speaker 1: my face. Everyone. Geez, you guys are mean. Peanuts and
Speaker 1: cracker jacks are tough. But anyway, Mike Mayor, speaking of
Speaker 1: bet MGM, our sponsor of our show, I noticed that
Speaker 1: Jamie Foxx is on the new commercial for bet MGM.
Speaker 1: And the thing I noticed about that is it's not me.
Speaker 1: It's not me on the big national commercial. Now you're
Speaker 1: my agent, and I want to ask you what the
Speaker 1: hell's going on with that?
Speaker 2: My friend he's slightly more popular than you.
Speaker 3: So maybe maybe if you had stuck with acting and
Speaker 3: didn't go into fantasy, maybe we could have gotten use
Speaker 3: some of that bet MGM money. But for now, you know,
Speaker 3: just you know, stick with your crown and we'll see
Speaker 3: where it goes.
Speaker 1: Listen, if you want to keep being my agent, I
Speaker 1: need those kind of gigs, that's all I'm saying. I got.
Speaker 1: I need some more national commercials.
Speaker 2: I have to keep you grounded first off, to keep
Speaker 2: you grounded.
Speaker 1: Good luck with that. All right, speaking of being grounded,
Speaker 1: let's hit the ground running. You see what I did there?
Speaker 1: Little segue and talk about the headlines from Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: Let's start with some good news. How about this a
Speaker 1: little prospect stuff all over the place. Let's start with
Speaker 1: good things. Bobbywood Junior hit his first home run. Congratulations
Speaker 1: to you, Bobby Wood Junior. It wasn't exactly an earth
Speaker 1: shattering crushed baseball. He was a wall scraper basically, but
Speaker 1: still got it. Build He golfed, he did. He went
Speaker 1: down and got it. He golfed it out. It got
Speaker 1: over the fence. It's a home run. Maybe he could
Speaker 1: take a little deep breath. I think Bobby what Junior
Speaker 1: will be fine. I've always thought he would be fine,
Speaker 1: always thought Julio would be fine. Joe Adell, on the
Speaker 1: other hand, I don't know if he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: He was sent down, So Joe Adell with the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Angels of Anaheim gets sent down. Ward's been on fire.
Speaker 1: We all think Brandon Marsh has been more good than bad.
Speaker 1: So what do you make of the Joe Adell going
Speaker 1: back to Triple A again? Is this the time to buy?
Speaker 1: Is this just kind of maybe what jo Adell is
Speaker 1: going to be. Maybe he's not going to be the
Speaker 1: uber prospect we thought he might be and break in
Speaker 1: and be a superstar. Is he a guy that's gonna
Speaker 1: float between the big leagues and Triple A for his career?
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Joe Adell right now?
Speaker 2: I don't have many good thoughts on Joe Adell.
Speaker 3: It's been concerning since he came out last year, and
Speaker 3: it seems like he's one of those guys that kind
Speaker 3: of goes into the you know, he goes back down
Speaker 3: to the miners and like looks fine, but then he
Speaker 3: comes up and he looks completely lost again. And we
Speaker 3: haven't seen any growth in like over a year now,
Speaker 3: and I don't have any shares. People in my dynasty
Speaker 3: leagues are like selling them. They're like, hey, I'm a
Speaker 3: win now team. If anyone wants to buy Adele and
Speaker 3: he's just getting crickets, so that's what.
Speaker 1: You're as he should now, I would buy low if
Speaker 1: somebody's just trying to get out, I don't know that
Speaker 1: i'd buy freeh See now, I see I'm always every
Speaker 1: like the million dollar man. Everybody has their price, That's
Speaker 1: what I think. So for me, I'd still buy low.
Speaker 1: In the dynasty formats and redrafts right now, that's a
Speaker 1: whole other story. And redrafts, I think we all had
Speaker 1: high expectations off a really good spring. Strikeouts are a problem.
Speaker 1: I mean, and for a guy who's athletic like Joe Adell,
Speaker 1: he should be hitting balls on the ground. He should
Speaker 1: be hitting line drives, trying to get infield hits. He
Speaker 1: should be trying to just beat out uh, you know,
Speaker 1: throws from the corner. I mean, there's just there's there
Speaker 1: could be so much more to his game, but to me,
Speaker 1: it's just the approach. The approach is completely for cocta
Speaker 1: and I don't know how to spell that. Well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: look it's a family show. I always, you know, try
Speaker 1: to keep it a nice way. Now, we did get
Speaker 1: a call up also from the Cardinals. All right, everybody,
Speaker 1: here we go. It's Wan Yepez, not Nolan Gorman.
Speaker 3: Wan Yepez, who I thought I missed something for the
Speaker 3: news desk.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be right that.
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait, wait wait what? Uh no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Yepez registered a nine to seventy two ops with thirty
Speaker 1: one one runs and eighty nine ribies in one hundred
Speaker 1: and fourteen career games of Triple A. He's twenty four
Speaker 1: years old, and the Cardinals looking to boost the offense
Speaker 1: a little bit, so Wan Yepez will be part of
Speaker 1: the roster.
Speaker 2: Uh so this is not an issue? Are you just
Speaker 2: reading this like from memory?
Speaker 1: Yeah, this literally just happened about, I don't know a
Speaker 1: little while ago.
Speaker 3: So it's just up in your brain with your manscaped
Speaker 3: read you just memorize one.
Speaker 1: My brain is a very scary place where manscape reeds
Speaker 1: live and random useless information. So look how much Yepez plays,
Speaker 1: I don't you know. But whatever Yupez can do, I
Speaker 1: would say, first off, if he's in a lineup and
Speaker 1: he's super cheap in DFS for two K or something
Speaker 1: like that on fandel or DK. You could throw him
Speaker 1: if he's in the lineup and see what you get
Speaker 1: out of him. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's great to take advantage of that when the
Speaker 1: system hasn't caught up to him. Other headlines, though, Mike Mayer,
Speaker 1: Dusty Baker gets his two thousandth win. Congratulations to Dusty
Speaker 1: Kimberl locks down if he's save at the very end,
Speaker 1: Zanino plays hero with a ninthitting dinger, and also Christian
Speaker 1: Walker Homer's his Diamondbacks went again, So the d Backs
Speaker 1: on fire cars. Carrasco threw eight Squirrels innings in a victory,
Speaker 1: and the Mets swept the Braves in the double header yesterday.
Speaker 1: That was a good feeling. So we like that. So
Speaker 1: any of these headline do you want to take anything
Speaker 1: away from there?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, congrats a Dusty Baker, two dozen wins,
Speaker 3: probably a Hall of Fame manager, probably a lot to
Speaker 3: be in the Hall of Fame at this point, right,
Speaker 3: even just for like sticking around for more than you know,
Speaker 3: success reasons. But yeah, that's about it. Shout out to
Speaker 3: Wonky Penguin. You know, Zazino is her guy. I don't
Speaker 3: think she called him for a home run though, so
Speaker 3: shame on her for that.
Speaker 1: Wow, you were very quick to to get rid of
Speaker 1: and and also praise the penguin that was. That was
Speaker 1: pretty rough turnaround there, fast, right, I guess. And if
Speaker 1: you don't, you know, stop to smell the roses, you
Speaker 1: might miss something. Here's some other things. To Miguel Sono,
Speaker 1: it's gonna miss significant time there with that MCL surgery.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody cares about that anymore. Uh
Speaker 1: do you care about that? Mike Bear Miguelson know, I
Speaker 1: think another player where we constantly we're hoping that at some
Speaker 1: point in time things would go in the right direction.
Speaker 1: It just never really has happened, right, said No, I
Speaker 1: don't care, So no, very nice, nice dad joke there.
Speaker 1: Y Stremsky with COVID should return today. Evan Longori and
Speaker 1: Tommy Lastello began their rehab assignments on Tuesday. So if
Speaker 1: you need some corner help and Evan Longoria is floating
Speaker 1: out there, I would pick him up to ask Hernandez
Speaker 1: is reheb game homers and doubles. Nelson Cruz, though exits
Speaker 1: with a stiff back, a lot of back issues. Nelson
Speaker 1: Cruise with a back and also Josh Hater having back spasms.
Speaker 1: So that's not great. But let's get to Can we
Speaker 1: talk about this because this was trending on Twitter yesterday
Speaker 1: it was the feel good story. Mike Mayer is rolling
Speaker 1: his eyes already. I don't know why you don't like
Speaker 1: feel good stories, mayor what's matter with you? But in
Speaker 1: Toronto last night, Aaron Judge at a home run, monstrous
Speaker 1: home run. There was a little boy who did not
Speaker 1: catch the home run, wearing an Aaron Judge shirt, jersey, whatever,
Speaker 1: And of course, one of the Blue Jays fans who
Speaker 1: caught it immediately turns and hands it to the kid,
Speaker 1: who burst into tears, hugs and felt so it felt
Speaker 1: so good to watch such a feel good thing happened.
Speaker 1: It was really something and it just proves the Canadians
Speaker 1: are the best of North America at the end of
Speaker 1: the day. I mean, let's let's call it what it is.
Speaker 2: Did you see this can not be romantic about baseball?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm waiting for the hallmark movie to
Speaker 1: be made about it. I can tell you that much.
Speaker 1: This boy struggles. But did it did it warm your
Speaker 1: cockles of your cold heart? Because you all know you're
Speaker 1: a cold hearted You know what, Mayor, it was.
Speaker 2: A nice moment. It's another moment in Yankee Stadium. Who cares?
Speaker 3: We've overdone it a little bit. I mean, this is
Speaker 3: what this guy should do, right like you. It would
Speaker 3: be a story if he didn't give that kid the ball,
Speaker 3: because then he would be a jerk.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Canadians don't know if it was.
Speaker 2: It was a slow night.
Speaker 3: It's been all over like quick pitched this morning. I'm like,
Speaker 3: all right, we get it, Like it's fine.
Speaker 1: Wow. Mike Mayris is vicious man. Everyone thinks Mayor's so
Speaker 1: nice all this stuff. No, no, no, he's He's the
Speaker 1: vicious one. I'm the nice guy. Who would have thought. Also,
Speaker 1: last night the Rays and A's had a game. Nobody
Speaker 1: was there to see it. He attendance. Here's the number
Speaker 1: for the attendance, twenty four eighty eight, two four hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty eight people. Now that was the announced attendants.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was less. That is the
Speaker 1: lowest in franchise history since nineteen eighty. I've been to
Speaker 1: fifteen ballparks in my life, fifteen different MLB ballparks. Oakland
Speaker 1: is by far the worst one that I've ever been to.
Speaker 1: Everything about it is terrible. The vantage points are terrible,
Speaker 1: the seats are terrible. And I've been to see baseball
Speaker 1: in Montreal and that was kitchy and fun and weird.
Speaker 1: It was very bizarre. It was kind of like being
Speaker 1: on shrooms and watching baseball. The whole experience.
Speaker 2: Being in Oakland in general isn't isn't great.
Speaker 1: Being Oakland in general not great, but being in the
Speaker 1: ballpark worse. It's just concrete and terrible. They don't even
Speaker 1: have helmets Sundays. It's it's a disaster. Are we gonna
Speaker 1: see the Las Vegas A's pretty soon because I'm starting
Speaker 1: to feel like that might be where we're going with.
Speaker 3: This probably, And I've seen some people kind of like
Speaker 3: crap on the fans for this, but like, I applaud
Speaker 3: the fans for this because this is a revolt against
Speaker 3: the ownership, and like.
Speaker 2: I think they should just not show up. I hope
Speaker 2: they have a game where they're zero fans in the.
Speaker 1: Stance Wow, cold heart Mayor that's when Red Baron over
Speaker 1: there in the Peanuts and Cracker Jacks. You are, man,
Speaker 1: You're cold blooded. All right, let's go to Joey tough guys.
Speaker 1: You know this was this was a hybrid. You know
Speaker 1: we always do like Joe's tough guys. Or do you
Speaker 1: know this day in baseball history before we get to
Speaker 1: more fantasy talk and wagering and betting all that stuff,
Speaker 1: we've got a little bit longer. But this this came
Speaker 1: up today. I thought this was amazing because I wondered
Speaker 1: in this day and age, Mike mahyor of social media
Speaker 1: and everybody knowing everything, and also about the way that
Speaker 1: we've kind of evolved as people. Yet we're still pretty
Speaker 1: awful at the end of the day. And hence the
Speaker 1: issue with Miles Straw Yankee Stadium a few weeks ago
Speaker 1: and a couple of days ago. So in nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 1: Twins rookie outfielder Jim Eisenreich, who many of us children
Speaker 1: of the eighties remember very well, very good player, who
Speaker 1: suffered from the sorder of Touret syndrome. He was forced
Speaker 1: to remove himself in a five to three loss to
Speaker 1: the Red Sox when the Red Sox fans were taunting
Speaker 1: himless mercilessly and his violent twitching became uncontrollable. Eisenwright kitting
Speaker 1: three ten. After making that jump from a ball to
Speaker 1: the big leagues, listen to this story. He ends up
Speaker 1: getting hospitalized in May, and then he ends up retiring
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four. He is so like, just overwhelmed
Speaker 1: with all this. Eventually, he does come back with the
Speaker 1: Worlds in eighty seven and ends up having a pretty
Speaker 1: good major league career. So imagine this, imagine that episode
Speaker 1: happening in Boston now, which I think we all can,
Speaker 1: but imagine, you know, making fun of this guy who
Speaker 1: has Touret syndrome and all these you know things that
Speaker 1: he's out there trying to play professional baseball for the
Speaker 1: God stays with it. How different would that story land
Speaker 1: now that it would in nineteen eighty two, Mike.
Speaker 3: Maher, It would be a bigger story than anult an
Speaker 3: adult giving a kid a baseball at a game.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that.
Speaker 2: Are we I'm sure this story is true. This seems fake.
Speaker 1: No, this is god wow, geez, Mike Mayor, you know,
Speaker 1: my goodness, the fake stories. This is a real story.
Speaker 1: I remember him having tourettes.
Speaker 2: And I remember you remember the story. You were there.
Speaker 1: I don't remember the story. I was just a boy.
Speaker 1: I remember Eisenwreich in the late eighties as a royal
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. But I remember he came up with
Speaker 1: the I didn't realize that he had retired and he'd
Speaker 1: gotten so, you know, upset and frustrated and embarrassed and
Speaker 1: all these things. This is crazy, all right. A little
Speaker 1: bit of trivia for you. Which team has Dusty Baker
Speaker 1: defeated the most times? So Peanuts and cracker Jacks. If
Speaker 1: you got an answer for that, you can win my
Speaker 1: respect again. Which team has Dusty Baker defeated the most
Speaker 1: times in his major league career as a manager. So
Speaker 1: if you know the answers to that, go for it.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the stat heroes. Brandon Woodruff
Speaker 1: twelve k's bounced back over the Reds. Guess what tonight,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go right back to the Reds and right
Speaker 1: back with Freddy Parolta, Freddy p I'm man, oh baby,
Speaker 1: this is easy money. The first thing I did this
Speaker 1: morning when I looked at this Lady's like, Oop, who
Speaker 1: are the Reds playing? Oh? That's right, Milwaukee, that's Freddy
Speaker 1: p Oh, he's cheap. Let's go all the lineups this morning.
Speaker 1: That's all I spent my whole morning doing Michael Waka. Good.
Speaker 1: I'm so exciting. I got a hiccup about it. Michael Waka,
Speaker 1: he's got a one thirty eight era, but nineteen k's
Speaker 1: but everything innings, pitch, but everything else. Basically, Mike Maryory,
Speaker 1: you're telling us this is time to sell high on
Speaker 1: Michael Waka if you can get out right, if.
Speaker 3: You can, yeah, if if anyone is willing to buy
Speaker 3: Michael Walker from you, so sell as fast as you can.
Speaker 1: Noah, Cinderguard's seven innings against Boston yesterday and a loss,
Speaker 1: three strikeouts, only fourteen strikeouts in the twenty four innings,
Speaker 1: What do you make of that? Like, I think we're
Speaker 1: all happy. The Cinderguard is just pitching. Do you think
Speaker 1: that the feel for pitching and the strikeouts will come
Speaker 1: as the weather gets better and he gets a little
Speaker 1: bit more, you know, acclimated up to stuff. Or is
Speaker 1: this the new cyinder Guard that we are stuck with now?
Speaker 3: I'm not really sure. I was looking at the numbers
Speaker 3: this morning, and his velocity is way down. It's like,
Speaker 3: you know, he's like sticker in his fast both like three.
Speaker 1: But hold on a second, to be fair, in the
Speaker 1: words of Letter Kenny, to be fair, he was one
Speaker 1: of the top velocity guys in all Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: So it's still it's below him, but is it below
Speaker 1: enough now? And I saw him last night. He was
Speaker 1: sitting around like ninety three ninety four. This is a
Speaker 1: guy who was sitting at ninety eight. Do you think
Speaker 1: he can't get guys out at ninety four?
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's what we're seeing now.
Speaker 3: And he himself has said he expects his velocity to
Speaker 3: tick back up as he as he continues to ramp up.
Speaker 3: I mean, we'll see if that's actually true. But I mean,
Speaker 3: he's it seems like he's pitching, like it seems like
Speaker 3: he used to like throw and just had electric stuff
Speaker 3: before and now he's pitching, and now he's like sprinkling
Speaker 3: in his change up and he's like somewhat pitching more
Speaker 3: to contact, and so like, I'm kind of enjoying this
Speaker 3: evolution of Noah Sinderguard and we'll.
Speaker 2: See how it evolves. Over time.
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously you want to see more strikeouts. But
Speaker 3: I mean if he's effective in this new version, then
Speaker 3: you know, I'm all for you know, the new Thor.
Speaker 1: Would you like the new thor for twenty nine starts
Speaker 1: but a lower k per nine and again more effective?
Speaker 1: Or do you want you know, twenty start thor throwing
Speaker 1: gas to striking out?
Speaker 2: Guy?
Speaker 1: I guess in season long roto, that's a question you
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, right.
Speaker 2: Why not both? Why can I not have both?
Speaker 1: You can't have both. Stop being a greedy person. No,
Speaker 1: you can't have both. Let's go to some other ones.
Speaker 1: Julio Yuri's four ks no earned and win over the Giants.
Speaker 1: Carls Carrasco eight innings pitched. Again, we talked about him
Speaker 1: five k's against the Bravos, so he's bouncing back nicely
Speaker 1: after a bad start. Alec Manoa seven k's, got no decision,
Speaker 1: but again, Alec Manoa owns the Yankees. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just amazing thing to watch tie on in that game
Speaker 1: at four k's he got the win over the blue
Speaker 1: Jay six innings, one earned, a Christian Hobbier five and
Speaker 1: a third four k's one walk, that era is down
Speaker 1: to point nine six for Hobby or Brad Keller three
Speaker 1: walks only two strikeouts, but his eras on to one,
Speaker 1: seven to four after their six and third scoreless for him,
Speaker 1: And I'm Barto Castellanos got a great name there, and
Speaker 1: it went over the Marlins five and two thirds no
Speaker 1: earned runs. Yes, Mike Mary, one of these things seemed
Speaker 1: to catch your fancy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of funny.
Speaker 3: I don't know why I follow fist Stripes one of
Speaker 3: the Marlins blogs on Twitter, but I do. And I
Speaker 3: saw them like kind of like tweeting out tweeting about
Speaker 3: Castianos before the start, like talking about how Low's velocity was,
Speaker 3: and then like he just went out and dominated, and
Speaker 3: so it's pretty funny to kind of like see him
Speaker 3: beat the Marlins, and like they were tweeting about his
Speaker 3: fastball being like eighty eight miles an hour.
Speaker 2: So that was pretty funny. And then also.
Speaker 3: I think it's one of like the fan sided blogs,
Speaker 3: Orpipe Nation blogs.
Speaker 2: I think, I don't know. I lived in Florida for
Speaker 2: a while, I follow some weird stuff.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it explains a lot about you
Speaker 1: explain a lot.
Speaker 3: And then Brad Keller Era down to one seven four.
Speaker 3: His metrics are like better than Waka, but still like
Speaker 3: just okay. And he's on a bad team, so probably
Speaker 3: selling him too, all right.
Speaker 1: The hitters from last night Willia Damas home run three
Speaker 1: Ribbies four home runs this week. He's on fire. He's
Speaker 1: in all Milwaukee stacks tonight. Spoiler alert. Jordan Alva is
Speaker 1: up to eight dingers, four in the last five days.
Speaker 1: Also on fire, Eric Judge and Fuego another home run
Speaker 1: for him. It was given away to a young fan.
Speaker 1: It was so beautiful. Josh Bell three for five, a
Speaker 1: home run, batting three sixty six, the k percentage way down,
Speaker 1: but comes with a four to h three babbit. So
Speaker 1: do you think that Josh Bell is going to turn
Speaker 1: to a pumpkin here pretty soon?
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I think. I mean, I think he is
Speaker 3: what he is at this point, right, Like he you know,
Speaker 3: he's like the high power just fine sixty guy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he's fine, He's just fine.
Speaker 1: He's two sixty twenty five home runs and that's fine.
Speaker 1: I got no beef with that, as long as you know.
Speaker 1: Over paid for Tommy fam three four with a home run. CJ.
Speaker 1: Crohn another home run. My god, CJ. Cron Can, I'll
Speaker 1: be stopped three for three? Who else we got air?
Speaker 1: Matt Olsen finally gets off the schneid. There he's been quiet.
Speaker 1: He hit a home run, real, Muto went yard, Christian Walker,
Speaker 1: we mentioned Bobby wit Jonaheim hit a home run, and
Speaker 1: Edward ala Veris. I'm just glad that vlad Guerrero did
Speaker 1: not hit a home run yesterday. I was very happy
Speaker 1: to see that stat. Zero's besides Mike Mayer in the
Speaker 1: home run category. Hermon Marquez seven earned ten hits too,
Speaker 1: walks five k's and lost to the Rockies. Herman Marquez
Speaker 1: Rockies pitchers just in general. I mean, we've seen Ubaldo
Speaker 1: had that run, Marquez had it run. Nobody can sustain
Speaker 1: the run. I have said this and people think it's
Speaker 1: a hot take. I don't think the Rockies can ever
Speaker 1: win a World Series ever. I don't think it can
Speaker 1: be done. I think the ballpark environment is just something
Speaker 1: that is not conducive to any long term sustained winning
Speaker 1: of what baseball normally is. Do you think that anybody
Speaker 1: can go to Colora Chlorao can figure out a way
Speaker 1: because they've been chasing like the last team, it was good.
Speaker 1: It was like that Matt Holliday team, right, they went
Speaker 1: there against the Red Sox, but like that was an
Speaker 1: epic run. Everything broke right for them. The other great
Speaker 1: run is when they had Larry Walker and Andres Gala
Speaker 1: Raga and Datte Boschett and they just dash everybody's brains in.
Speaker 1: I kind of lean towards that and then heavy specialization
Speaker 1: of pitching. I think that's the only path for the Rockies.
Speaker 1: Do you see a path of the Rockies ever to
Speaker 1: get out of this? I mean, they're like, it's like purgatory.
Speaker 1: They're in baseball purgatory, the Rockies forever. I feel like.
Speaker 3: Forever seems like a long long time to put them
Speaker 3: in a purgatory. I think they need to go heavy
Speaker 3: on offense and then for pitching, maybe they get creative,
Speaker 3: maybe go back. You know everyone's going for like power
Speaker 3: arms and strikeouts. Maybe they just go sinker guys, just
Speaker 3: try to keep the ball on the ground.
Speaker 1: A whole staff of Kyle Hendrix, that's what you need.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's not a bad idea. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you never know, could better, anything's better.
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton right now, another four earned runs. His ERA
Speaker 1: is up to six eighty five. What's your panic meter
Speaker 1: up to scale one to ten on Charlie Morton right now?
Speaker 1: He is older, he's coming off a broken leg. Where
Speaker 1: yet with Charlie.
Speaker 2: Morton five and a half it's going on.
Speaker 1: That's it only five and a half. I'm at seven
Speaker 1: right now, I'm already.
Speaker 2: At We'll see. We'll see.
Speaker 1: Trevor Rodgers six one, four ERA, four k's and a
Speaker 1: loss to the Diamondbacks. These are the kind of starts
Speaker 1: that Trevor Rodgers should be dominating. Look, this is a
Speaker 1: hard l for me because Trevor Rodgers I thought was
Speaker 1: gonna make that next step this year. He has not.
Speaker 1: In fact, it's gone the other direction. Why do you
Speaker 1: think that is, Marek?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Is he not healthy or I mean, like he looked
Speaker 3: really good last year and then he kind of faded
Speaker 3: and got hurt and like he's just like never come
Speaker 3: back from where he was and I don't really know why.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing is we all just chalked it
Speaker 1: up to, oh, you know, he wore down because he
Speaker 1: was a young pitcher, right, And that's the easiest you know,
Speaker 1: I would think reasoning behind the decline the second half,
Speaker 1: and he was, like you said, dominant. He wasn't good.
Speaker 1: He was dominant in the first half last year. So
Speaker 1: either there's an injury going on or people have figured
Speaker 1: him out and he's got a change back. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on, but it ain't good. Tyler Mally
Speaker 1: wasn't good either. His rays up to seven, Lou Trevino
Speaker 1: four earned runs. Not a good appearance for Lu Trevino.
Speaker 1: It's good for my uh Danny Amenez shares Kyle Schwarber
Speaker 1: over five with two K, Souperez over five to two.
Speaker 1: K's body's got five home runs, so who cares? Tyler
Speaker 1: Stevenson returns and then goes over four with the Golden sombrero.
Speaker 1: Patrick Wisdom oh four three K, Tyler Naquin the same,
Speaker 1: and Saya Suzuki oh for four with two K two k's.
Speaker 1: I told you so. I told you so. I told
Speaker 1: you so. Now I'm not one to say I told
Speaker 1: you so, except that I told you so. The Saya
Speaker 1: Suzuki thing was going to come crashing down. I hope
Speaker 1: you sold off that first week. That's all I want
Speaker 1: to know. All right. Five players batting under one twenty
Speaker 1: five Mike Maher, Let's let's give me your panic meter
Speaker 1: on these guys. Your panic meter doesn't run as hot
Speaker 1: as mind apparently. So one to ten. Nelson Cruz bucko two,
Speaker 1: old guy. What's your panic meter on him?
Speaker 2: Probably five? But I mean, like there's concern there have.
Speaker 1: Another number besides five. I'm starting to wonder.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, is he just old? Is he done?
Speaker 2: I mean we've we've sometimes.
Speaker 1: That's the thing with Charlie Morton, which is why my
Speaker 1: number is higher on Charlie Morton than yours is because
Speaker 1: I feel like it's the age factor. There comes a
Speaker 1: time where that age sometimes just catches up in an
Speaker 1: instant with certain athletes. And that's got me concerned about Cruz,
Speaker 1: has got me concerned about Charlie Morton. So on my
Speaker 1: panic level for Cruz is six. Seven for Morton because
Speaker 1: he's a pitcher. Kellennick bucko three, Mind's at nine nine
Speaker 1: and a half for kell Nick, how is he still ten?
Speaker 1: My five? At least we finally got you off the five.
Speaker 1: Max Munsey is at one eleven. This one doesn't shocking
Speaker 1: to me because of coming off the injury so I'm
Speaker 1: like a two or a three here, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say I'm a three because he's also, like,
Speaker 3: you know, he's not a huge batting average guy anyway,
Speaker 3: and so it's a one hot street.
Speaker 2: He'll be back to where he normally is anyway.
Speaker 1: Now, Justin Turner is a big batting average guy. He's
Speaker 1: at in the Buck twenty two. Another older player. I
Speaker 1: am now at the Mike Mayer five, which I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I I was. I was at a three last
Speaker 1: week because I acquired him in a trade and I went, yeah,
Speaker 1: give me Justin Turner. A week later, starting to have
Speaker 1: a little buyer's remorse on this one. So where are
Speaker 1: you at with Justin Turner for Buck twenty two?
Speaker 2: I would say seven?
Speaker 3: And part of that is because it's the Dodgers and
Speaker 3: because like they will do anything to just like like
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts will do anything with that lineup, and like
Speaker 3: if you're if he's hitting a Buck twenty two for
Speaker 3: another couple of weeks, like he just won't play.
Speaker 1: Wonky Penguin is at an eleven with Charlie Morton from
Speaker 1: The Peanuts and the car Acker Jacks. So there you go,
Speaker 1: all right, let's get to kettel Marte. Ketel Marte won
Speaker 1: twenty three batting average. Panic meter for Mike Mayor is.
Speaker 2: Well, this is an interesting one.
Speaker 3: I'd say my panic meter is at zero because I've
Speaker 3: never been a ktel Marte guy, and I don't have
Speaker 3: any shares and I never will.
Speaker 1: Wow. Way to be the not concerned if it doesn't
Speaker 1: affect Mike Mayor directly, he doesn't care. I mean everyone
Speaker 1: there doesn't vote in the mid term elections. That's Mike Mayor,
Speaker 1: Mike Mahors.
Speaker 3: I mean whatever, if you have shares, my panic meter
Speaker 3: would be like a seven or in eight, because I
Speaker 3: think everyone has like bought high on that that big
Speaker 3: power year that he had and then he kind of
Speaker 3: came back down and he had, you know, the solid average,
Speaker 3: And I just think we had good.
Speaker 1: Power numbers in that twenty twenty shortened season two. Though
Speaker 1: the power numbers were okay, weren't they not like looking
Speaker 1: in nineteen season though, well, no, nothing was like twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: But I agree twenty nineteen is an outlier. Les Fair,
Speaker 1: Mike Mayor. Let's take a look at the home run board.
Speaker 1: The niking still at eleven. All I do is win
Speaker 1: is at ten, but none of that matters. All that
Speaker 1: matters is a joeyp got on the board yesterday. That's right.
Speaker 1: May is going to be a different month.
Speaker 2: One offensive to the graphics. That board is not updated.
Speaker 1: Oh that boards up. Well, I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 2: Somebody has got to.
Speaker 3: All I do is win win Win is tied at
Speaker 3: eleven and JP thirty four has jumped up to ten.
Speaker 1: Oh I see it now. Chris just sent it to me,
Speaker 1: but he said it after the show started. So wait
Speaker 1: to go, Chris. Thanks so much for being uh Chris
Speaker 1: for being yeah or on top of things beforehand, but
Speaker 1: also an all fairness, he's still hung over from the
Speaker 1: draft because it was a long.
Speaker 2: Couple of days.
Speaker 3: Also, on that note, I know I gave her a
Speaker 3: hard time earlier, but shout out to Wankee Penguin because
Speaker 3: she has done like ninety nine percent of the like
Speaker 3: leaderboard tallying and updating because I've been slacking and so
Speaker 3: she has been a huge help and we couldn't do
Speaker 3: the show without her.
Speaker 1: Well, at least you admit to the slacking, and I agree.
Speaker 1: Wonky Penguin is always great to have. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the prop bets of the day, which you've all been
Speaker 1: waiting for, and of course that brought to you by
Speaker 1: bet MGM, the King of sports Books. Now I had
Speaker 1: the challenge earlier. I'll see. I don't think I can
Speaker 1: read the read at the same time with the Darth
Speaker 1: Vader helmet, but I'll do my best here for a
Speaker 1: little performance art. Okay, can we get them all on
Speaker 1: at the same time? We can? Ah, If ever, there
Speaker 1: was a gift to be made, this is the gift
Speaker 1: right here, and this is why you watch on the
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. So again it's a little blurry here. Now
Speaker 1: I can't I can't read it. All I know is
Speaker 1: if you download the bet mgm app or go to
Speaker 1: betmgm dot com and you bet ten dollars, you can
Speaker 1: win two hundred on anything you bet on any game.
Speaker 1: You can win two hundred dollars just for betting ten.
Speaker 1: And that's what bet MGM, the King of Sports books.
Speaker 1: But make sure you use the promo code leading off.
Speaker 1: That's one word leading off. May the Force be with
Speaker 1: you in all your bets today. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: to the May of the fourth ones that we got here,
Speaker 1: and I like Brian Reynolds, over on BETMGM one and
Speaker 1: a half, like the over on the total basis. Josier
Speaker 1: Ramirez is a one and a half as well. The
Speaker 1: nice thing with both of these is we've got plus money.
Speaker 1: We got plus one twenty five on Brian Reynolds, plus
Speaker 1: one thirty five over on Jose Ramirez. Javier Bayez has
Speaker 1: a one and a half on bet MGM as well
Speaker 1: for total bases at plus one thirty. Lots of plus
Speaker 1: money floating out there. Here's one that's fascinating. Adam Waynwright
Speaker 1: against Kansas City on FanDuel today. Mike Maher, the strikeout
Speaker 1: prop is just three point five. I know the juice
Speaker 1: is minus one sixty six, but I don't think I
Speaker 1: care to you. At three point five, you cancel. I
Speaker 1: got four guys on the Royals.
Speaker 2: Come on, bro, that does not seem right.
Speaker 1: It's an easy put one hundred down and you walk
Speaker 1: away with one sixty six. This is beautiful, the beautiful
Speaker 1: thing right there, all right, actually walk away six.
Speaker 2: That's how that I don't think that's how that math works.
Speaker 1: I just I just corrected myself. You put one hundred down,
Speaker 1: your walk away with your sixty six, and you're in
Speaker 1: good shape. Give me a break. Here, got a lot
Speaker 1: of balls in the air. Aaron Judge total bases plus
Speaker 1: one thirty five and that's over on DraftKings and that
Speaker 1: is at the one fifty mark as well. So to me,
Speaker 1: I love the Brians, the Hosy Ramiro is the Hobbier
Speaker 1: Bias and the Adam Wayne Wright one mayor you got
Speaker 1: a couple as well you want to talk about, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I like that you mentioned the plus number ones
Speaker 3: because I just started using that filter and I just like,
Speaker 3: I just like remove the minus ones. I'm only like
Speaker 3: searching for the plush, the plus odds ones and the well, I.
Speaker 1: Don't want to remove the minus ones because I look
Speaker 1: at one like Waynwright, that's just a smash. And if
Speaker 1: you got the capital to invest like I, I mean,
Speaker 1: if somebody said, here, give me one hundred and sixty bucks,
Speaker 1: let me hold her for four hours, and I'll give
Speaker 1: you sixty six dollars on top of one hundred, that
Speaker 1: sounds like a pretty good night of Like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? That's called interest, my friend, That's what that's called.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, what I normally do is as I hop into
Speaker 3: the prop at cheat sheet, and I just kind of
Speaker 3: like see what like the best projections versus like the
Speaker 3: the odds are. And then once I pick a couple
Speaker 3: of those, I just like click on the filter, just
Speaker 3: like go to the go to the better odds. And
Speaker 3: so the ones I found were Mike Clevenger over four
Speaker 3: and a half strikeouts for plus one thirty five. I
Speaker 3: know he's like this is his first start back, but
Speaker 3: I mean he could come out and strike out the
Speaker 3: side in the first inning and like he's only probably
Speaker 3: gonna go like four maybe five innings, but he can
Speaker 3: definitely get four and a half strikeouts for plus one
Speaker 3: thirty five, and then Robbie Grossman plus two twenty to
Speaker 3: get an RBI.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love the penis and the cracker jacks. They are
Speaker 1: doctor Glenn, I see you, and I'm not bringing that
Speaker 1: comment up, but yeah, that's right. That's right. And if

Speaker 1: lineup builders. Trevor Larnick on DK at two point five.
Speaker 1: I got him in lineups Labor Torres two at three

Speaker 1: Come on, it is high, it is far. It is
Speaker 1: caught by the shortstop.
Speaker 2: Guy is the worst.
Speaker 1: He is terrible, but he's been that way forever, so
Speaker 1: it's not new. It's just, you know, I hate.
Speaker 2: That they like just recycle those clips.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I hate it so much.
Speaker 3: I'm going with Jordan Alvarez because he homers every night
Speaker 3: and I do not homer every night, and I'm hoping
