Speaker 2: great to see you, my friend. I'm sure you're happy
Speaker 2: to see the Mets leave town after Juan Soto just
Speaker 2: kept hitting home runs. Yesterday one was a moonshot there
Speaker 2: for twenty seven Dead Center. How you don't win?
Speaker 3: Let me let me think, Mets do something and metsro
Speaker 3: on the top of the show sheets a crazy mess,
Speaker 3: literally anything and there. He doesn't matter what else happened
Speaker 3: in the world. Sanuel Contra could have get traded Showhill,
Speaker 3: Tony could be out for the year. Wan Soto hits
Speaker 3: a homer there on here. By the way, Wan Soto
Speaker 3: does own some property here in Arizona, specifically at Chase Field.
Speaker 2: Well look in all fair a Welsh, How old were
Speaker 2: you the last time the Diamondbacks won a World Series?
Speaker 3: I was like eighteen or no, yeah, something like that. No,
Speaker 3: two thousand and one. I don't know my age anymore.
Speaker 3: I was like, twenty something.
Speaker 2: What's what's his age again, everybody? I was eight the
Speaker 2: last time the mess won the World Series. It's been
Speaker 2: a long time.
Speaker 3: This is a game in May. I'm just pointing out
Speaker 3: games in April and May are getting to the show
Speaker 3: sheet when when they do anything, I will say the
Speaker 3: one Soda thing is relatively interesting. I don't know if
Speaker 3: we talked about it here did the Betting Pro show
Speaker 3: talking about MVP awards and stuff. Something did stand out
Speaker 3: to me that I didn't talk about on that show
Speaker 3: was at that time, twenty five to one one Soda
Speaker 3: was still sitting there for NL MVP. Now it's the
Speaker 3: longest of long shots on the planet because you've got Otani.
Speaker 3: You know, you got Gordan Carroll that's pushing over the
Speaker 3: statis junior. But to count out Jan Soto's overall tracking,
Speaker 3: I was looking a year over year changes of like
Speaker 3: Barrel and hard hit. He's like one of the biggest
Speaker 3: losers across the board, but to a point that it's
Speaker 3: so not believable, and because he's such a great player,
Speaker 3: and guess what he's heating up?
Speaker 2: Oh, I get that.
Speaker 3: That's why I start my point to that, and.
Speaker 2: That's why it's the top of the show sheet. My
Speaker 2: point is, guess what after maybe a couple weeks of
Speaker 2: a little pressing, wan so to starting to get hot
Speaker 2: also looking good too, because I know we talked about
Speaker 2: him in live streaming yesterday code I Senga six shoutout
Speaker 2: innings for him. His ERA is down to one point
Speaker 2: one six. He is the prince that was promised thirty
Speaker 2: five strikeouts, seventeen walks and thirty eight innings. Look the
Speaker 2: Mets really today now, yeah, but look, I'll take the
Speaker 2: one era. You know, it's not gonna hold. He's gonna
Speaker 2: probably settle somewhere on the low threes. But the Mets
Speaker 2: desperately need that guy at the top of their rotation
Speaker 2: where they feel like, okay every fifth day. We know
Speaker 2: we're gonna be competitive to get a w here because
Speaker 2: the rest of the guys are you know, they're kind
Speaker 2: of the no name starter bunch. They are all performing
Speaker 2: pretty well, but they are no name guys. So Senga
Speaker 2: needs to perform at a high level and hopefully he
Speaker 2: can stay healthy this year. Devin Williams possibly moving in
Speaker 2: the right direction struck out three batters with one walk,
Speaker 2: so another walk you don't love that, and hit another
Speaker 2: guy in the Scoorel's tenth thning and he got a
Speaker 2: win over the Padres. So Devin Williams, let's take the
Speaker 2: temperature Welsh, what does it say today?
Speaker 3: I think it's the same as I've been, Like, I'm
Speaker 3: a little away from the camp of he's done forever
Speaker 3: and like everybody else is cutting him and don't worry.
Speaker 3: I mean like, I think there's a lot of justification
Speaker 3: where you can Yeah, I saw that one where you
Speaker 3: can cut him in ten team leagues and stuff like that,
Speaker 3: and I think there's a big question will he get
Speaker 3: back in the role. But to put him back in
Speaker 3: like leveragy spots like that and for him to be
Speaker 3: successful have big strikeouts, that's classic old school or really
Speaker 3: any manager. I suppose taking the pressure off of a
Speaker 3: guy to see how they perform. That's gonna be the
Speaker 3: biggest key. You take him out of this role for
Speaker 3: a tiny bit, you've taken the pressure off. After two weeks,
Speaker 3: they might just throw him into a random spot. So
Speaker 3: as much as I've thought may is for Luke Weaver,
Speaker 3: I just don't think Devin Williams is quite done. Everything
Speaker 3: is still really poopy across the board. Though he's you know,
Speaker 3: not striking out like he does. He's walking guys like crazy,
Speaker 3: seventeen percent walk rate. But if he starts putting a
Speaker 3: couple of these together, he's not gonna be available on
Speaker 3: the wire anymore. So that's why if I could hold
Speaker 3: I would. If he's out there, I would pick him
Speaker 3: up just to see what this next week or so becomes.
Speaker 3: Because guess what if you had Devin Williams June on,
Speaker 3: He's still probably going to be one of the top
Speaker 3: closers if you would agree to form so I would agree.
Speaker 3: That's why I would.
Speaker 2: The guy Van Rod with a fun one today. Predictions
Speaker 2: of how Jack Lyder will do against the Red sucks
Speaker 2: is what he said. Wellsh any predictions here from Jack Lyder.
Speaker 2: I'm going to abstain because we got to a Jack
Speaker 2: Lighter conversation yesterday last star for Jack Lighter. That's so great,
Speaker 2: that's two, that's so great.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna be a great day. Shout
Speaker 3: out the Boston Red Sox are I still think they're monsters.
Speaker 3: I talk a lot about them and the Betting Pros episode.
Speaker 3: Shout out to our boy Erickson, who I threw him
Speaker 3: some bets last night, Joey and I threw him three
Speaker 3: and then I said, I actually I got a parlay
Speaker 3: for you, and he took the parlay and then he
Speaker 3: texted me and he said, the only bad thing is
Speaker 3: I didn't bet more because it was red Sox to
Speaker 3: win on the full money line and Bregman to get
Speaker 3: a hit. I'd also give him Bregmant total bases all
Speaker 3: those hit, which was great. But Boston's offense is picking
Speaker 3: back up. MAT's a point of where I'm going with
Speaker 3: this that I don't like this matchup. I think this
Speaker 3: might be an overruns type of thing with a Lighter
Speaker 3: and Bayo going today. But I mean I would say
Speaker 3: that it's probably a four run game, at least for Lighters.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to be.
Speaker 2: Super pretty five runs two. Homer says Razor. Good to
Speaker 2: see Razor in the chat. What's up, Brazer? How you
Speaker 2: doing all right? Let's get to some more closers. Your
Speaker 2: Emmanuel class A he's back, got his eighth save scorelessenning
Speaker 2: against the net so Crisis averted here class A a little
Speaker 2: hiccup that we're back on track. Jackson Merril two for
Speaker 2: four with a solo homer two. Ribby's good day for him.
Speaker 2: Hove here Baias cannot be stopped. He drove in four
Speaker 2: more runs. I've got bets on him today. We'll get
Speaker 2: to that later in the show. The Tigers pounded the
Speaker 2: Rockies in this one. His slash is now up to
Speaker 2: three thirteen three p fifty two four seventy five. I
Speaker 2: know we've discussed Hobby Bayaz a little bit, and we
Speaker 2: talked about him on the waiver video. If you missed that,
Speaker 2: go back and watch. It's on demand on the YouTube channel.
Speaker 2: But it is not you. You don't have to watch it.
Speaker 2: You were in it.
Speaker 3: No, you know, I don't not want to watch it.
Speaker 3: Whatever you're gonna say, no, Joe, don't do it.
Speaker 2: I guess here's the thing. It's you know, Jaby or
Speaker 2: Baiaz is not going to hit three hundred doll year.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to happen. But if you
Speaker 2: were one of these teams that's had some outfield injuries.
Speaker 2: Let's say you lost Alvarez, you lost Taskar Hernandez, and
Speaker 2: you're looking at the outmans and the Evan Carter's gross
Speaker 2: or you're looking at Taber Bias, who's hitting and playing
Speaker 2: at the top of this order. I won't Biaz, I
Speaker 2: think yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean we talked about it in the video, like
Speaker 3: I had to pick him up in one spot. He's
Speaker 3: weird and it's goofy. He has dramatically changed his swing.
Speaker 3: He's he's dropped the depth in the box. He's shortened
Speaker 3: his stand, like the open stance thing. It's dramatic. It
Speaker 3: was like a thirty three degree angle with like ten now,
Speaker 3: so I mean he is really shortened that in. He's
Speaker 3: dropped the length the tiny bit of that swing, and
Speaker 3: he's seeing some pretty great results. I mean he's hitting
Speaker 3: three thirteen, he's got three homers. But you know, I
Speaker 3: mean he's cut the strikeouts down. But he's done that
Speaker 3: for the last like three or four years. But you know,
Speaker 3: if you look at it as a whole, he's not barreling.
Speaker 3: He's hitting the ball actually on average less hard this year.
Speaker 3: The hard hit rate is down that he's not getting
Speaker 3: it in the ball, getting it in the air as much.
Speaker 3: He's a two forty expected batting average guy. THAT'SOK, seventy
Speaker 3: points lower. He's a very He's a serviceable fifteen team
Speaker 3: fifth outfielder for sure, but you got to have a
Speaker 3: quick trigger finger if he starts to struggle. I just
Speaker 3: don't buy. I loved Javier Bias back in the day.
Speaker 3: That was my guy, back when he was a Cub.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's gonna come back down to earth, and
Speaker 3: I'm not cutting anything of substance, you know, Like I
Speaker 3: see his name right here, someone wrote like Dylan Cruz.
Speaker 3: Like if someone were to ask that question, like, oh,
Speaker 3: dyllon Cruise sucks, Like, I'm not going to do that
Speaker 3: in a ten team league. I don't know whysidered Bayaz
Speaker 3: Still I would cut Cruise. But I'm not gonna cut
Speaker 3: Cruise four Baias because I don't believe.
Speaker 2: Well, that's why I believe. I think that's that's like
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, like, you lost somebody, you're looking for a
Speaker 2: part time piece here right.
Speaker 3: This is your side with you on that.
Speaker 2: But you're and I agree with your point, which is
Speaker 2: you're not running to pick him up in lieu of
Speaker 2: somebody else. You're trying to add him. If you've had
Speaker 2: an injury and you want an easy roster move to
Speaker 2: make in two weeks because I think.
Speaker 3: Which exactly what I had in the league, and that's why.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that is the fit for Bias
Speaker 2: Lee was a fun one here. I wanted to take
Speaker 2: Soda on the home run, did not didn't want Jinks
Speaker 2: the Mets, so I took Josh Daniel Road for four. Hey,
Speaker 2: I took Alonzo yesterday and that didn't work out. So
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? I can't. I'm stone cold again.
Speaker 2: A brave you for the Red Sox. Three for four,
Speaker 2: two homers and a double, three ribies, so a good
Speaker 2: day for him. Jacob Wilson four for five, span can't
Speaker 2: be stopped. He's in three fifty seven. I enjoy Jacob
Speaker 2: Wilson's game more. Jacob Wilson's in baseball. Just guys who
Speaker 2: put the ball in play. I think that's good for baseball.
Speaker 2: You know, who needs walks and strikeouts, get up there,
Speaker 2: swing the bats on. And this is the big question too.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not sure what the Savant page says
Speaker 2: about Jacob Wilson, but you know, sometimes with these contact
Speaker 2: guys who you know don't walk a bunch, is there
Speaker 2: a danger here? That at some point, you know that
Speaker 2: expected batting average comes back down. Well, I mean three
Speaker 2: fifty seven is very high, and I don't think that's a
Speaker 2: sustainable mark.
Speaker 3: Well, it's three twenty seven is his expected batting average
Speaker 3: right now, because he just makes all the contact in
Speaker 3: the world three twenty seven he doesn't. But it's you
Speaker 3: see this with those contact guys like the Luisa Rises
Speaker 3: of the world, where you get these really low barrel rates,
Speaker 3: they usually have like a slower swing. I'm not looking
Speaker 3: at his swing right now in a in a in
Speaker 3: a shorter one. Yeah, so this is a sixty three
Speaker 3: mile per hour average bat speed. That's dramatically it's one
Speaker 3: of the lowest in the league. But also it's a
Speaker 3: short swing, so he's slow to it short to the path,
Speaker 3: which gets the bat in the you know, in the
Speaker 3: base path, and he makes tons of contact. He doesn't
Speaker 3: walk because he makes so much contact as well. So
Speaker 3: this is pretty prototypical of those type of hitters. You
Speaker 3: would love it if he could get the ball in
Speaker 3: the air just like a tiny bit more simply because
Speaker 3: that ballpark is just like a little tiny box and
Speaker 3: just start crashing out some homers. But Jacob Wilson is
Speaker 3: a real deal. Jacob Wilson has also held the lead
Speaker 3: for like three weeks on Rookie of the Year. It's
Speaker 3: him over and Christian Campbe's hitting like three hundred. Jacob
Speaker 3: Wilson has still been the odds on favorite in the AL,
Speaker 3: which you know, if you have a ticket for that,
Speaker 3: I want to see it. Let me know that, you know,
Speaker 3: this feels like the Jackson merrill of last year. I
Speaker 3: wish I was on it. I'm not. I'm on the
Speaker 3: Christian Campbell and I had a cam Smith ticket which
Speaker 3: I can burn. But you know, like I don't know
Speaker 3: if he can hold on to this unless he hits
Speaker 3: three thirty or three forty, it's going to be tough
Speaker 3: to beat Christian Campbell. But Jacob Wilson is Fantasy relevant
Speaker 3: even though he's in that Luis Risey, I don't have
Speaker 3: a lot of counting stats type of territory.
Speaker 2: Just want to shout out calling seventy one subscriber, a
Speaker 2: Tier one and gifted five subs. It's very cool, very
Speaker 2: cool on the twitch. We love that. We love the
Speaker 2: community here on our twitch at Fantasy Bros MLB.
Speaker 3: Cool cool note too, by the way, is you actually
Speaker 3: don't even have to be in the chat. Sometimes if
Speaker 3: you're just subscribed to the channel Thrasher, when you come
Speaker 3: in and you make your first comment, make sure you're
Speaker 3: subscribe to the channel. It is completely free to just like,
Speaker 3: you know, like the channel and subscribe. But if you
Speaker 3: are just subscribed and someone gifts a sub you could
Speaker 3: get it and when you're not even here. So just
Speaker 3: a little reminder. We got a lot of great people
Speaker 3: that are following us, but just come follow. It's absolutely free,
Speaker 3: and someone might gift you a sub.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you subscribe, you get rid of those
Speaker 2: pesky commercials. Nobody likes those. Nobody likes that.
Speaker 3: So except the one that Joe's, except.
Speaker 2: Only the commercials that I do. Those are acceptable. The
Speaker 2: A's they dropped Lawrence Butler to six in the order
Speaker 2: he homered and walked. Yesterday you mentioned Butler. He didn't
Speaker 2: make our by Low video. But I do agree with you.
Speaker 2: I think Butler's an intriguing by Low at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have on my Patreon in this league dot
Speaker 3: com cheap plug. I do like this weekly just like
Speaker 3: little like Preppy Sheet. I just do lots of stuff
Speaker 3: like prospects and pickups and streamers, and that kind of
Speaker 3: like flows into what I do during the week. But
Speaker 3: I do like players. I'm trading four and trading away.
Speaker 3: And I told you before we did our video, Lawrence
Speaker 3: Butler was on my trade four for the week because
Speaker 3: he had struggled. Like his counting stats were up there
Speaker 3: enough that no one's being like, I got to get
Speaker 3: him out of here, but it was to the level
Speaker 3: where someone might be like, oh, this isn't actually really
Speaker 3: working out. Six homers, six stolen bases to forty average.
Speaker 3: His expected batting average is lower than his batting average,
Speaker 3: which is the worrisome part. Eleven percent barrel, forty two
Speaker 3: percent hard hit rate. He's getting the ball in the
Speaker 3: air more, he's getting to that sweet spot on the
Speaker 3: launch agle and he's in this incredible ballpark where the
Speaker 3: summer is just ahead of us. So that's what I'm
Speaker 3: trying to buy on here. Lots of loud counting stats
Speaker 3: and good to see him kind of start that bounce back.
Speaker 3: But the buying opportunity, I don't know how long it is,
Speaker 3: but I think I'm going to take the risk with it.
Speaker 2: I would dig the ricks as well. Strikeouts are still
Speaker 2: a lot. But I just enjoyed the player. And if
Speaker 2: he gets hot again the summer like he did last year,
Speaker 2: forget it. Like that ballpark is going to be unbelievably
Speaker 2: good for him. Kiren Powis signs of life to run
Speaker 2: Homer for him. It's funny. Do you think it's anything
Speaker 2: to the Kiren Paris emergence and the Kaisa Treks sponsorship
Speaker 2: in the same year. It feels like too much of
Speaker 2: a coincidence. I don't want to be a weird conspiracy theory.
Speaker 2: Got side moving on.
Speaker 3: He's keeping it up. The stats are not.
Speaker 2: Say no, although the ops did rise after yesterday's performance.
Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, I've got a great stat for you.
Speaker 2: We wash you like great stats. Everybody likes great stats.
Speaker 2: The New York Yankees have a higher batting average, on
Speaker 2: base and selecond percentage than any other team of Major
Speaker 2: League Baseball this year. Okay, just putting that out there,
Speaker 2: But if you take away Aaron Judge from their totals,
Speaker 2: their fourteenth and batting average, eleventh and ob and third
Speaker 2: and slugging. So that's kind of interesting that when you
Speaker 2: take that one guy away, the batting average goes all
Speaker 2: the way down. To fourteenth and the OBP goes all
Speaker 2: the way down to eleventh.
Speaker 3: So not really, that doesn't really surprise me. The guy's
Speaker 3: like hitting four hundred, he's the best player, Like he's
Speaker 3: one of the best players in baseball. I've actually I'm
Speaker 3: a little surprised the slug is still so high.
Speaker 2: If Aaron j just see, I'm not surprised a lug
Speaker 2: is a high because all the Yankees do is at
Speaker 2: solo home runs. If you look at the statue, there
Speaker 2: are a bunch of two twenty hitters who have you know,
Speaker 2: solo home runs. They have got eight home runs and
Speaker 2: ten RBI, Like that's what that's what they look like, right,
Speaker 2: And I just thought it was so fascinating because I
Speaker 2: don't think when you take one player away it should
Speaker 2: impact anything that much. You know, it's one player out
Speaker 2: of you know, fifteen or whatever you've got there that
Speaker 2: are offensive players on your roster, give or take.
Speaker 3: It's why is minus one thousand foot al VP right?
Speaker 2: Just it's like easy statistic. Yeah, at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, I just wanted to share that the Orioles, though,
Speaker 2: can't do anything right. The Orioles have made it deal.
Speaker 2: He acquired Louis Castillo from the Marrigers, but not that
Speaker 2: Louis Guesstillo, not the good one, Louis F. Castio. So
Speaker 2: I feel like this is like classic nor McDonald is like, oh,
Speaker 2: we just made a deal. Well Louise Guesstillo, Oh for
Speaker 2: the Mariners. Oh he's really minute.
Speaker 3: That's f in his middle name.
Speaker 2: That how we got the wrong one who restrains me Kobe.
Speaker 3: This reminds me of all those people in like Best
Speaker 3: Balls and like the n FBC's that they're like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, I got a great value on Julio Rodriguez,
Speaker 3: but it was like the catcher Julio R. Rodriguez or whatever,
Speaker 3: very very funny.
Speaker 2: Just the word oh geez, oh, there's mudim mud on
Speaker 2: my face.
Speaker 3: There there rumors. There are rumors that, by the way,
Speaker 3: the Orioles I saw it last night on and there'll
Speaker 3: be scoops, Twitter or whatever that they're looking at Mitch Keller,
Speaker 3: that they're talking to the pirates, or there's some rumors
Speaker 3: about Mitch Keller and the Orioles. Just what the Orioles.
Speaker 2: Need, you know what, whatever Mitch Keller for Kobe Mayo
Speaker 2: do it. Just let everybody get out of their own spaces.
Speaker 3: Kobe. No, no, well, you're not getting You're not getting Mitch.
Speaker 2: He hasn't done anything. He's oh for eight and five
Speaker 2: strikeouts in three games right now. I don't know where
Speaker 2: that stock is right now. And he's a complainer in
Speaker 2: the organization doesn't like him. Michael has a great one here.
Speaker 2: We have Louis Castillo at home. Yes, that's right. You
Speaker 2: don't need that. We have Louis Castillo at home. Oh goodness, gracious,
Speaker 2: let's get to the rookie. Speaking of Kobe, Mayo's oh
Speaker 2: for eight with five strikeouts in three games so far
Speaker 2: this year, Gunnar Hoglin made a second major league start,
Speaker 2: two runs, five and a third innings. It was pretty good.
Speaker 2: The second run came in the sixth, though Hogland was pulled,
Speaker 2: so it was given up afterwards, but still only five
Speaker 2: of the eighteen balls in play against him were heart hit.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have another start now next week.
Speaker 2: The start is against the Dodgers. That's the only thing,
Speaker 2: so just you know, keep that in mind. Maybe not
Speaker 2: the best time to run him out there, but maybe
Speaker 2: being new is exactly, you know, the thing that could
Speaker 2: beat the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Percent walk rate two percent, two and a half thera
Speaker 3: with an expected two and a half ERA right now,
Speaker 3: gunnery is pretty interesting, but avoid it all costs that
Speaker 3: Dodger matchup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dodger's a first team of twenty five wins. Bubba
Speaker 2: Chandler allowed three runs on five hits, two in a
Speaker 2: third innings. So Bubba Watch, what do you think, Well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had got this info during the live stream yesterday.
Speaker 3: I remember Wednesday's four pm Eastern Joey and I are
Speaker 3: live for an hour and that had happened. It puts
Speaker 3: a little bit of wrinkle into Bubba Watch because a
Speaker 3: lot of walks, you gave up a decent amount of hits.
Speaker 3: He didn't go deep into the game. I think, like
Speaker 3: two days ago, we knew that Bubba wasn't coming up
Speaker 3: within the next couple of days, because they're going to
Speaker 3: give us a little bit of ramp up. I think
Speaker 3: you could look at this either way. There's a possibility
Speaker 3: that they could say, doesn't results be damned whatever, and
Speaker 3: maybe Friday or Saturday they tell us that Bubba's coming up. Also,
Speaker 3: don't let him get into a bad streak down in
Speaker 3: the minors. Or they could say we need one more
Speaker 3: good one. We need to see how you bounce back. So, like,
Speaker 3: if you guys are gonna keep asking me the same question,
Speaker 3: I still feel regardless of this bad outing, I still
Speaker 3: like Monday, Monday, Tuesday, whatever the order is, that's when
Speaker 3: he should be up. But it could be the next
Speaker 3: start after, the next start after would probably closer line
Speaker 3: up to what they've done in the past with like
Speaker 3: Skeins Jared Jones. So we're still close. Wasn't the best
Speaker 3: start there. I'm not gonna let it deter me or
Speaker 3: anything like that. And I think you should still hold
Speaker 3: because we're still in a very very close period of
Speaker 3: time where he's called up. But that one, if he
Speaker 3: had like dazzled in that, I'll bet you they're dropping
Speaker 3: a freaking press release today. Yeah, but I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: be here Monday.
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I think it's up in the air.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. I'm not confident that it's gonna
Speaker 2: be Monday. That's a question Javey or Bias or Kobe
Speaker 2: Mayo rest of season. I'll take Bias for better or worse.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm not trying to be prisoner of the
Speaker 2: moment here. But Kobe Mayo has not delivered in opportunities
Speaker 2: he's getting. And even if he gets dealt, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, at least they are bashing him, like I'm
Speaker 2: not bashing him, but like you know, and at some
Speaker 2: point he has got to perform to a degree. And
Speaker 2: it's not over you know, three games or whatever that is,
Speaker 2: but at some point, even in the minor league, he's
Speaker 2: got to perform to a degree where he becomes undeniable
Speaker 2: in order to crack whatever's going on to here in Baltimore,
Speaker 2: because before you know Westburg will be back, before you
Speaker 2: know what, these opportunities will be gone again. So he's
Speaker 2: in a really difficult spot, which is why I want him.
Speaker 2: I will like him a lot more if he gets
Speaker 2: traded to the Pirates or he gets traded to somewhere
Speaker 2: else anywhere.
Speaker 3: Else, well, yeah, anywhere for playing time. I would say this, like,
Speaker 3: I think it makes sense to say bias right now
Speaker 3: because I'm not sure like what you get out of
Speaker 3: like holding him. But the July first on, I'll bet you,
Speaker 3: like Kobe is starting like somewhere, He's not going to
Speaker 3: spend another season in the minor leagues. Maybe he's traded whatever,
Speaker 3: and I think he'll be more valuable than Bias, so
Speaker 3: I guess maybe the long outlook, But why would you
Speaker 3: hold on to him for two months? So it's like,
Speaker 3: go with Hobby Bias right now and just keep a
Speaker 3: watch on Kobe Mayo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or keep an eye on it all right, Let's
Speaker 2: get to Andrew Painter. He's gonna make a start on
Speaker 2: Thursday for Triple A, so that'll be fun to see.
Speaker 2: Three up and three down from yesterday's games. Max Fried
Speaker 2: still good, five hits, just one run, no walks, eight.
Speaker 2: K's brilliant performance against Michael Kelly's Padres, who were red hot.
Speaker 2: That went into the Yankees Bronx cauldron there and they
Speaker 2: came out scolding hot. Jose Barrio struck out nine over
Speaker 2: six innings against the Angels, so let's not get too crazy.
Speaker 2: Was against the Angels. Then Ryan McMahon, who had one
Speaker 2: of the worst aprils ever with a OPS around five hundred.
Speaker 2: He's been hot lately, had a home run over the weekend,
Speaker 2: four for four with a two run homer against the Tigers,
Speaker 2: so that's good, not good. In that game, Chase Delander
Speaker 2: six runs, three innings, of the downs. Jackson Job also
Speaker 2: bad six runs, three and two thirds. He has not
Speaker 2: been good this year. I wouldn't be shocked if he
Speaker 2: gets bumped from this rotation at some point. And then
Speaker 2: Shane Boss. This one, I think is the toughest one.
Speaker 2: Shane Boss was on a really good run end of
Speaker 2: last year beginning of this year. What has happened here?
Speaker 2: Eight hits, six earned runs, two walks, three strikeouts three
Speaker 2: and a third. I know it's the Phillies, and the
Speaker 2: Phillies are very good, but Welsh, what's going on here
Speaker 2: with Shane Boss? Welsh, I can't hear you. Something happened
Speaker 2: with your audio there for a second. You gotta play
Speaker 2: with your covert a little bit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how about that? Ooh, I pushed something there.
Speaker 2: It was a little bit. Make sure everybody can hear you.
Speaker 3: It was the curse. It was the dynasty rank curse
Speaker 3: where somebody tried to call me out on my shamee
Speaker 3: boz dynasty rank. And it coincided literally the day where
Speaker 3: he gave up seven and runs and since then he
Speaker 3: has given up thirteen runs. So you're gonna have to
Speaker 3: sacrifice it. Sacrifice a goat if you would like Shane
Speaker 3: Boz to be any better because the curse remains. But
Speaker 3: I don't know if I would like go too crazy worry,
Speaker 3: but I thought there was inconsistencies in his game. He's
Speaker 3: still walking a lot, he's giving up a lot of
Speaker 3: barrel contact. He's a good young pitcher, but the team
Speaker 3: context I don't think is like the best. He's not
Speaker 3: doing elite strikeouts and he is getting a little bit
Speaker 3: obliterated right now. But you know, like maybe to your point,
Speaker 3: the last four starts, to his credit, he's had Yankees, Podres, Royals,
Speaker 3: and Phillies. That's a really rough run right there. And
Speaker 3: in that period of time he has given up eighteen
Speaker 3: runs across those three starts. The only good one was
Speaker 3: against the Padres. So like, not ready to anoint him elite,
Speaker 3: but I'm also not ready to start cutting him because
Speaker 3: he's getting banged around by the Phillies and the Yankees.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's the best point. I guess it's
Speaker 2: the matchups here. But you know, at a certain point,
Speaker 2: you got to step up against the better teams too,
Speaker 2: otherwise you're not a major league pitcher. You know, you
Speaker 2: gotta step up against the better offenses at some point
Speaker 2: here we don't have a new pope yet. I know
Speaker 2: they just started up again.
Speaker 3: So I just watching going nuts about it.
Speaker 2: You gotta watch Nick Cassianos very clearly today, see what's
Speaker 2: going on here, speaking of the Phillies. Also, while you're

Speaker 2: All right, let's get to injuries. Everybody's panic because Hunter
Speaker 2: Green hurt pop and is growin. Eh no good. He's
Speaker 2: going for an MRI today, so hopefully fingers crossed it's
Speaker 2: a mild issue. But that's not good. That saving grace
Speaker 2: is not an arm issue. But this is so frustrating.
Speaker 2: Welsh Hunter Green has been brilliant this year. He has
Speaker 2: been finally the pitcher that we've been waiting for years
Speaker 2: and years they would become a frontline starter. We know
Speaker 2: the fastball has always been live, it's been location of
Speaker 2: the fastball. He has made so many good adjustments, so
Speaker 2: this is a huge bummer right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's turned to a completely different corner. And it's
Speaker 3: actually been a two year time period too. It was
Speaker 3: maybe even three because it was he had to go
Speaker 3: from being a primary slider guy, and then he dropped
Speaker 3: his velo a bit, and then he added the split finger,
Speaker 3: and then this year the villa's kind of come back
Speaker 3: and everything has clicked and he's got these three pitches
Speaker 3: that he's just dropping on everybody. The split finger has
Speaker 3: been just a phenomenal pitch. His sliders become more efficient.
Speaker 3: His slider one point eighty nine batting average against and
Speaker 3: a fifty three percent with rate. And that's what the
Speaker 3: split finger and the fastball are just doing, you know,
Speaker 3: just from an eye visual So, uh, he's definitely been elite.
Speaker 3: This is worrisome. Pops and groins doesn't sound great at all,
Speaker 3: but hopefully that's gonna be something we're gonna pack front.
Speaker 2: It's like boats and nose. What is that?
Speaker 3: Pops and groins apparently, Nina the Pinta. That's all right,
Speaker 3: say do.
Speaker 2: We have a do we have a new pope? Or
Speaker 2: we knocked?
Speaker 3: I saw the word in the chat streets is we
Speaker 3: do have a new pope?
Speaker 2: It is we know it's not Pizza Bala.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new Pizza Bala.
Speaker 2: All right, all the money tonight on Nick Cassie. I
Speaker 2: don't know. That's that's you know, whatever it takes.
Speaker 3: He usually follows disaster though not like world like positive
Speaker 3: world events.
Speaker 2: It's just I thought it was just world events.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, listen, it's not a bad bet to
Speaker 3: bet on Nick, if we're being honest. But I think
Speaker 3: it is more.
Speaker 2: Like, why, let's see who the pope is? You know,
Speaker 2: there you go.
Speaker 3: Hunter Green did have a pop in his groin, so
Speaker 3: that is a bad event, So you might want to
Speaker 3: bet on Nick Cassio.
Speaker 2: That's true, you know it is. It is kind of
Speaker 2: interesting too, because you know, you talk about like what's
Speaker 2: going on here with all of these processes. I love
Speaker 2: that it's twenty twenty five and the process for this
Speaker 2: is still we have to wait for somebody to blow
Speaker 2: a different colored smoke out of a smoke stack.
Speaker 3: I don't know how it works. I mean, don't they
Speaker 3: know what the color is or is there?
Speaker 2: Like, well, when it's white, it's a pope. When it's black,
Speaker 2: they got to vote again, that's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But like, but is this treated like a gender reveal?
Speaker 3: Like they're like, oh, kind of you know what.
Speaker 2: I never thought it's kind of like it's it's the
Speaker 2: Catholic version of that. A lot of ways I.
Speaker 3: Get okay, like nobody knows.
Speaker 2: Lets you know, but that I think that's amazing. In
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, no press release, no Twitter smoke.
Speaker 3: I think what they should do is they should just
Speaker 3: they should drop the new reveal on a tick talk
Speaker 3: and a plane should fly over and it'll just drop.
Speaker 3: It'll just drop the smoke and they should just do
Speaker 3: like a full gender reveal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. The Reds also had to put
Speaker 2: Noova Marty on the IL because he's got a left
Speaker 2: oblique strain. Ugh, Dylan Cease again, what everything that was
Speaker 2: going well for the Reds? It feels like twenty four hours,
Speaker 2: like oh God, why why do they have these things happen?
Speaker 2: Dylan Cease was removed Wednesday. He had a right forum cramp.
Speaker 2: Now The good news is strikeouts were way up last
Speaker 2: night for Seas and we were talking about him as
Speaker 2: a by low. It says it's just a cramp. So
Speaker 2: I'm not going to think too much of this Welsh.
Speaker 2: We'll see if there's any other news that breaks today.
Speaker 2: It's something to monitor. But I would still be buying
Speaker 2: Dylan cease because the window to buy aces is usually
Speaker 2: very small. You have one here, what sees All the
Speaker 2: underlying metrics are good, the walk rates just high. Hopefully
Speaker 2: he'll get it back under control like he did last year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and something this just reminded me of. This is
Speaker 3: super funny because it's a cramp Merril Kelly suffers from,
Speaker 3: just like he cramps up and like every single start.
Speaker 3: So apparently Diamondback fans have been sending in mass pickles
Speaker 3: to the Diamondback facility. Was for Merril Kelly to eat
Speaker 3: so he stops cramping up. And maybe they should send
Speaker 3: some pickles to Dylan C's. Maybe that could they should
Speaker 3: really if Big Pickle whichever I don't I don't eat pickles.
Speaker 3: I think they're disgusting. But Big Pickles should look at
Speaker 3: a sponsorship with MLB and they should start sending out
Speaker 3: to guys like Dylan C's and Meryl Kelly.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, let's get to more injury. Spencer Streider
Speaker 2: hamstring through a bullpen on Wednesday, so hopefully that's moving
Speaker 2: the right direction task. Hernandez expected back in two weeks.
Speaker 2: Rome Gonzalez day to day with back tightness. Here we go,
Speaker 2: here we go. Somebody mentioned to me, I think it
Speaker 2: was maybe it was one of the YouTube comments yesterday.
Speaker 2: I saw somebody said, maybe move Trevor's story to first.
Speaker 2: How would you feel about that move?
Speaker 3: I like that. I like that a lot. That opens
Speaker 3: up Marcella Mayer. Then maybe that kind of mitigates some
Speaker 3: of the potential injury risk. But here's the problem. There's
Speaker 3: like seven different great options, and they're like Nope, Roamy
Speaker 3: and Abraham Toro, like it's not what we want. It's
Speaker 3: not great at all.
Speaker 2: Richard Fitz otherwise known as Dick Fits, is scheduled to
Speaker 2: throw a bullpen session on Thursday. He is coming back
Speaker 2: from that back tooral muscle. Ivan Herrera two for six
Speaker 2: and two steals, which is great to see. In his
Speaker 2: rehab game yesterday, J two Real Muto was removed with
Speaker 2: a left foot contusion. Zach Efflin is going to be
Speaker 2: back this weekend to start against the Angels, So there
Speaker 2: you go. Got Charlie Morton. That rotation back Zach Eflin
Speaker 2: will could go wrong. Corbyn burns through a bullpen session Wednesday,
Speaker 2: no issues with the shoulder. That's good. Glass Now and
Speaker 2: Snow both are gonna play catch tomorrow, so we'll see
Speaker 2: how that goes over the weekend.
Speaker 3: Have a catch, Have a catch.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, they can play catch. Have a catch. We
Speaker 2: can do this again. Clayton Kershaw makes his next rehab
Speaker 2: start on Sunday, so we'll see if that's the final
Speaker 2: one for him before heading back to the Dodger rotation. Welsh,
Speaker 2: it's that time again. It's time for the best bets
Speaker 2: of the day with Joey p and the Welsh. Let's
Speaker 2: take a look at what we got here and today
Speaker 2: I'm keeping it simple. Detroit and Colorado and going right
Speaker 2: back there. A lot of runs yesterday, I think there
Speaker 2: might be even more today. Give me Riley Green to
Speaker 2: driving a run plus one hundred. Give me Hove or
Speaker 2: Baiez to score a run at the top of that
Speaker 2: winder minus one fifteen because he's been hot and give
Speaker 2: me the Detroit team total at over five and a
Speaker 2: half runs at minus one thirty two. Now I haven't
Speaker 2: put them all together, but I can to see what
Speaker 2: the parlay is. Just for S's and G's Welsh. While
Speaker 2: I'm doing that for the boys and girls out there,
Speaker 2: why don't you give her one your bets for today?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: This Thursday, we are going with Nerfy Ganza. We are
Speaker 3: going all.
Speaker 2: Their favorite of all the ganzas. This is the best one.
Speaker 3: We went all first five yesterday we went. We went
Speaker 3: two and one. Man we almost got the third one too.
Speaker 3: We win the Mets scored in the six, but we
Speaker 3: actually pushed, we put we actually I'm sorry we went
Speaker 3: two zero and one because we pushed on one we
Speaker 3: won the other. So today we're going to move it
Speaker 3: to Neurfy Ganza. We're going to start with Atlanta and
Speaker 3: Cincinnati on the Nerfey minus one thirty. We're gonna go
Speaker 3: to Toronto, La on the Nurfe and Dodgers and Arizona
Speaker 3: with much higher odds on the the Toronto Los Angeles
Speaker 3: one really kind of has me interested. Chris Bassett has
Speaker 3: been really, really good. You've also got Jose Soriano there.
Speaker 3: Both of these teams are in the bottom fifteen of
Speaker 3: the league and scoring in the first inning. You don't
Speaker 3: have Trout in there as well. I think the little
Speaker 3: bit of a risk is Soriano at the top of
Speaker 3: the Toronto lineup, but Toronto is down there. I think
Speaker 3: actually the Angels might be a higher scoring first inning team,
Speaker 3: So that's probably my favorite in there. Dodger Diamondbacks a
Speaker 3: little bit risky, a lot risky on Brandon Fott side,
Speaker 3: Brandon Fought struggles versus lefties. You got Otani right at
Speaker 3: the top of the of the lineup, but I think
Speaker 3: that we're going to get through that first in and
Speaker 3: clean with Fought and Yamamoto has been absolutely unhittable, so
Speaker 3: I think he's going to take it to the Diamondbacks
Speaker 3: early part of the lineup, So that one there's inherent
Speaker 3: risk involved. In Atlanta Cincinnati as well, You've got Schwellenbach
Speaker 3: going today and Nick Lodolo, but I think both of
Speaker 3: those are going to mitigate some contact, So it's nurfy.
Speaker 3: Ganza Toronto La probably my favorite though, And just to be.
Speaker 2: Clear, my Rockies bets are for Game two because I
Speaker 2: know there's two games today and someone was asking about that.
Speaker 2: I'm going for game two. Riley Green's not in the lineup.
Speaker 2: I know that. But we also don't like to do
Speaker 2: bets here at three o'clock in the afternoon because we
Speaker 2: do the show at twelve, so typically we try to
Speaker 2: do stuff for the later in the day.
Speaker 3: By the way, Well, my nerfe'es are later too, by
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 2: And if you put them all together, by the way,
Speaker 2: for me, it's three to one online and if you
Speaker 2: change out Riley Green to at a home run instead,
Speaker 2: you get eight and a half to one, So I
Speaker 2: like that. So those are the best bets of the day.

Speaker 2: slash leading off, and I am going with Riley Green
Speaker 2: for my home run call today. That's where I'm going.
Speaker 2: Welsh is at thirteen, Wankee Penguin at twelve, Marty's at seventeen.
Speaker 2: I wish I had won Sodo yesterday instead of the
Speaker 2: wrong net again, very frustrating. So Riley Green's my guy today.
Speaker 2: Of course, the Sosa jerseys up for grabs, Welsh, where
Speaker 2: you go for your home run call?
Speaker 3: Yep, got to get up that board a little bit more,
Speaker 3: gotta keep rock and didn't get carried carpent during yesterday.
Speaker 3: But today we are going to move over and hopefully
Speaker 3: this will not be in the beginning of the inning.
Speaker 3: And by the way, we can go back to us
Speaker 3: off the home run board, we can go to Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 3: So I don't think this is gonna happen in the
Speaker 3: beginning of the game, but I think Freddy freemaning Brandon
Speaker 3: Fott does have a home run issue, which does you
Speaker 3: know again that makes it a concern. There's a reason
Speaker 3: that Nurphy is minus one oh five, and it's literally
Speaker 3: about Brandon Fott. I think, but I think Fought a
Speaker 3: little bit later in the game is going to give
Speaker 3: one up to a lefty. Otani would be a good bet,
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna go with Freeman makes a ton of contact.
Speaker 3: I think Fot's gonna leave one out there. It's run
Speaker 3: four and a half to one. If you want to
Speaker 3: do it over on FanDuel, if you want to play that,
Speaker 3: or you can look at the total base number, which
Speaker 3: is probably going to be decent. It might be money
Speaker 3: a little bit over on the plus money for total
Speaker 3: basis on Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 2: I apologize. I thought I saw that in the early
Speaker 2: lineup that or in lineup yesterday. The bias was actually
Speaker 2: towards the top. He'sa in seven or nine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's usually always around that spot because at the
Speaker 3: top they's like Riley.
Speaker 2: The other day I saw him up at one. I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, they moved him up. Maybe I'm wrong,
Speaker 2: or maybe that was just a one off. I apologize
Speaker 2: for that, so that that's on me. I could have
Speaker 2: sworn I saw it. Maybe when I was looking at
Speaker 2: MLB they had it logged differently. As opposed to the lineup.
Speaker 2: They were just showing you the opposing guys there, and
Speaker 2: I mistook it for a lineup, so that's on me.
Speaker 2: Apologies the want to get that doesn't matter. I still
Speaker 2: like Javy or Bias to score run today because he's
Speaker 2: been right hot and they should.
Speaker 3: Move off that clip that, by the way, clip that
Speaker 3: clip you saying, I like hovier by that never will.
Speaker 2: We right now? Baseball's a game of streaks, and thank
Speaker 2: you for quickly forget forgiving me. Say there is forgiveness here.
Speaker 2: So there. It's hard to keep track of everything all
Speaker 2: the time, all at once, but we do our best
