Speaker 1: The o's and m's can't be stopped. Let's play ball.
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros. This is leading off,
Speaker 1: brought to you by bet MGM, the King of sports Books.
Speaker 1: It's me Joey p joe Piece app Here with you
Speaker 1: is the Welsh as always, and it's you. It's a
Speaker 1: fun Friday. We got the All Star break looming, a
Speaker 1: few more games to hit up some good ones as well.
Speaker 1: We had a picture's duel last night in San Francisco
Speaker 1: that was certainly fun. And we have our Home Run
Speaker 1: Derby participants and I am remiss. I said we would
Speaker 1: get to how we're doing the home Run Derby contest thing,
Speaker 1: and then I forgot to do it. Because I'm old
Speaker 1: and I'm c nile and Welsh. I think it's time
Speaker 1: to start me on some of that special medication.
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask, because I mean, the first thing
Speaker 2: out the top, what are we doing?
Speaker 3: Are we drafting? And it's gone, it's gone.
Speaker 1: So here here's what we're gonna do. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: do this right at the top of the show so
Speaker 1: I don't forget. So here is what the Lonky Penguin
Speaker 1: put together for us. I put in the show sheets
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't forget again. So here's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna select who they think will win and who
Speaker 1: they think will finish second. So you pick your one
Speaker 1: and your two finishers. So you pick your finals. I
Speaker 1: think these two people in the final, this person is
Speaker 1: the home run champ. Then everybody predicts a total number
Speaker 1: of home runs for the entire contest as a whole.
Speaker 1: Anyone who picks the winner gets one point. If you
Speaker 1: pick the winner and the runner up person in the
Speaker 1: correct order, correct order, you get two points. And whoever
Speaker 1: picks the correct first and second place hitters and is
Speaker 1: the closest to the total number gets three points. So
Speaker 1: we're doing it on a sliding scale. Does that make
Speaker 1: sense that I lay it out well or is it
Speaker 1: too complicated?
Speaker 3: As clear as mud, I think we're good. I think
Speaker 3: we're good. So I failed, So no, no, I got it.
Speaker 3: You get three points.
Speaker 1: So if I think it's Sodo and Julio at the end,
Speaker 1: then Sodo and Julio my ones and two picks. If
Speaker 1: I'm right, I get a point for each of those things.
Speaker 1: And if I get the highest total with those right, guys,
Speaker 1: then I get three points. So it's basically like a
Speaker 1: sliding scale of points. I think it's fun. If you
Speaker 1: have questions, hit up Wonky Penguin on Discord and she's
Speaker 1: running it. So that's I'm just passing the buck.
Speaker 3: And what do we do it? Do we do it
Speaker 3: in the home run the home run room on call room?
Speaker 1: I believe we do it in the home run call room.
Speaker 1: I will make my go.
Speaker 2: There's a tag right there that Wonky just put the
Speaker 2: tag in the chat. It's one uh and then the
Speaker 2: HR call tag.
Speaker 1: For all three there you go, use one HR call
Speaker 1: tag for all three in the order. So you put
Speaker 1: the name the name, so the first name you thinks first,
Speaker 1: the second name you think a second, and then the
Speaker 1: number I guess is the next thing.
Speaker 3: So that's yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: Pretty easy, right, Wonky? Did I do it right? Did I?
Speaker 3: Maybe?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe somebody, if you guys aren't checking out the discord,
Speaker 2: maybe somebody could throw an example in there for the
Speaker 2: people that come in and want to put their picks in.
Speaker 2: Maybe someone could show exactly what their picks are so
Speaker 2: we could see how it works.
Speaker 1: But it's good. There you go, there, Wonke if you
Speaker 1: want to give an example here, I could flash that
Speaker 1: so everybody sees on the YouTube channel so they could
Speaker 1: check really know how they're doing it. I'm sure she's
Speaker 1: already done this in the home run channel because she's
Speaker 1: running that ship. Speaking of running the ship, Gorbyn burns
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts and a no decision against the Giants rodn
Speaker 1: with seven. I watched him with this game last night.
Speaker 1: I was actually awake, if you could believe it, which
Speaker 1: is really odd for me. And yeah, it was very good,
Speaker 1: very entertaining. Pitcher's duel Tristan McKenzie struck out twelve guys.
Speaker 1: You know, Mackenzie's had a really nice season, starting to
Speaker 1: develop into the picture you think he could be. You know,
Speaker 1: the frame I think will always be a little bit
Speaker 1: of an issue. He's a little bit heavier than he
Speaker 1: was last year. But I know it hasn't been all
Speaker 1: roses with mackenzie. But if you liked what you've seen
Speaker 1: out of him more often than not, I think the
Speaker 1: answer is guest this year, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a pretty big yess on that.
Speaker 2: Bag and I were going through some gambling bets yesterday
Speaker 2: and we were just all over this game. With the
Speaker 2: strikeout prop and the first five and then the actual
Speaker 2: run line because you know, just beating up on the
Speaker 2: Tigers and Mackenzie in general. McKenzie three two ERA after
Speaker 2: that performance almost nine k per.
Speaker 3: Nine little bit inflated left on base.
Speaker 2: Percentage, which you would like to see adjust. It's a
Speaker 2: little over eighty three percent. But one hundred innings on
Speaker 2: the air with seven wins and not an insanely different
Speaker 2: era to x fit, it's a great season. We're gonna
Speaker 2: come out. He's gonna be one of those guys next year.
Speaker 2: Who's gonna be one of those what is it like
Speaker 2: eighty to one twenty sleeper pitchers that we're betting on
Speaker 2: that's gonna take the next big jump, because he's taking
Speaker 2: the next big jump this year.
Speaker 3: So just exponential moves.
Speaker 1: And here you go, this is what it looks like.
Speaker 1: Exclamation point hr dash call and got Pete Alonso Kama
Speaker 1: Juan Soto Coama five hundred and seventy two, which actually
Speaker 1: sounds pretty good. Think I might just do that.
Speaker 3: And that's gonna exact one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just gonna steal that exact one. See how
Speaker 1: it goes happen. Something wouldn't be hilarious, is like dead on.
Speaker 1: And that was just the example one think I might
Speaker 1: do that just.
Speaker 2: And everybody's got to make sure when you're doing it,
Speaker 2: make sure you pay attention to the bracket so you're
Speaker 2: moving the right players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, look at the we'll talk about the
Speaker 1: bracket in a second show. Io Tani reach base three
Speaker 1: times and the Angel loss, So what else is new?
Speaker 1: But he did move ahead of Aaron Judge and the
Speaker 1: MVP voting on the or not voting in the MVP
Speaker 1: odds pardon me over on Fanduels. So there you go.
Speaker 1: That's very exciting. Carlos carrasco six scoreless things against the Cubs,
Speaker 1: Louis Robert and Homer Hit drove in five runs. And
Speaker 1: our boy Max Meyer is going to make his MLB
Speaker 1: debut on Saturday. I just did a video yesterday morning saying, hey,
Speaker 1: go pick up this guy before he gets called up.
Speaker 3: It's too late.
Speaker 1: It's too late. The video hasn't even come out yet,
Speaker 1: so now it sounds like I'm like living in the past.
Speaker 1: But you know what, at the time, I was right,
Speaker 1: and he's still available in like sixty five percent of leagues.
Speaker 1: Or something like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, here's got to be plenty of this guy up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he hasn't gone and actually performed his start yet.
Speaker 2: I mean place if you're paying attention to prospects or
Speaker 2: you're consuming any Fantasy Baseball content, people are going to
Speaker 2: kind of be on it. But there doesn't mean there's
Speaker 2: a you know, fifty sixty percent of an audience set
Speaker 2: out there that isn't. And Meyer's a relatively I known,
Speaker 2: actually a little bit better X fit this year than
Speaker 2: his era, which is in the threes over ten. Came
Speaker 2: back from the injury. You know, he's had some dominant,
Speaker 2: dominant performances with a couple spots. But you know, we
Speaker 2: we talked about it, like early early in the year,
Speaker 2: there's a guy that was going up against the rehab
Speaker 2: starts of Ronald Acunya and Joan Mancata and striking these
Speaker 2: guys out left and right. So, as you know, I'm very,
Speaker 2: very excited about Max Meyer, and he was one of
Speaker 2: the big pickups.
Speaker 3: And this is one of the.
Speaker 2: Last obvious leaves to fall of the pickups that you
Speaker 2: need to do. I just did a on my rank update,
Speaker 2: I do twenty five prospects that haven't been called up
Speaker 2: to look for and he's at the top of the list.
Speaker 3: And now now.
Speaker 2: It's like an open season of us just being surprised
Speaker 2: guys like a story are up. Now we just have
Speaker 2: to you know, maybe Corbyn Carroll at some point he's
Speaker 2: up at Triple A hitting homers left and right. The
Speaker 2: pool is very very different of prospects that are going
Speaker 2: to be coming up next.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, look, Meyer, his only delay was because
Speaker 1: of the injury. Wasn't anything wrong or anything like that.
Speaker 1: It was just simply, you know, the delay because of
Speaker 1: the injury. And that's actually a.
Speaker 3: Couple wonked starts though too.
Speaker 1: I think that was because of the injury, don't you think,
Speaker 1: like it's kind of like now favoring something and it
Speaker 1: was like okay, and that's all turns out he's on
Speaker 1: the eyel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it all kind of like accumulated to like
Speaker 2: this like month, you know, overlay that kind of was
Speaker 2: into each other because they're not going to bring him
Speaker 2: up if he was struggling, and then he just needed
Speaker 2: to get right after the injury. They I think they
Speaker 2: gave him one or two starts after the injury.
Speaker 3: And now boom, we're good to go. But I'm optimistic.
Speaker 2: I'm very optimistic on really everything on him, but I'm
Speaker 2: not you know, I don't. I don't expect to see
Speaker 2: any props on him as none of the books have
Speaker 2: been giving first time rookies any numbers.
Speaker 3: Just FYI.
Speaker 1: And look now the innings totals on as much of
Speaker 1: an issue too, because he's missed about a month, so
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, good point. Not is concerned about
Speaker 1: the end of the year for Maximyer. So like the
Speaker 1: investment I make in him is very important because like
Speaker 1: now I'm like actually a little bit if he's on
Speaker 1: the way WI, I'm more aggressive because he can actually
Speaker 1: help me. In August end September, it was just great points.
Speaker 1: The first pitch of the game from the Angels, Lefty
Speaker 1: read Debtmer's hit home the all two V on the
Speaker 1: left knee. He stayed in the game for a little
Speaker 1: while and then ended up coming out, So we'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye on that. Uh. We actually have a leading
Speaker 1: off mailbag question from our discord channel Edwalking Penguin has
Speaker 1: has asked, so you keep asking every day, are we
Speaker 1: allowed to drop Jared Walsh yet Welsh? Are we allowed
Speaker 1: to drop drop Walsh. That's hard.
Speaker 2: Oh that could be like the bot, like you know
Speaker 2: those Twitter accounts like has Vinne passe Quentino been called
Speaker 2: up today?
Speaker 3: There should be a Twitter handle? Can we drop Jared?
Speaker 1: Drop Jared Walsh?
Speaker 2: Yet I think like sure, I mean, if you if
Speaker 2: you want like the overarching, sure you could drop him.
Speaker 3: I would say.
Speaker 2: There's context to a lot of stuff out there. He's
Speaker 2: hitting two forty thirteen homers forty one RBI. That's not
Speaker 2: the worst thing in the world. There are worst players
Speaker 2: being rostered. The k percentage has gone over thirty. He
Speaker 2: is not walking lowess walk percentage, second lowest walk percentage
Speaker 2: of his career, which I'm worried about. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: think in like ten and twelve man leagues, there are
Speaker 2: probably other serviceable assets that are sitting around. You could
Speaker 2: maybe take shots. You could have taken a shot out
Speaker 2: like a Vinie pas Quentino. I bet, I bet there
Speaker 2: was somebody that had that exact decision of like, ooh
Speaker 2: do I want to pick up Vinnie? But the only
Speaker 2: drop of a person to have his Walsh and I
Speaker 2: don't want to give up. So I think he's in
Speaker 2: that space. If you hold on. I think you could
Speaker 2: still get twenty five homers out of him. He could
Speaker 2: have a little bit of pick up. I think the
Speaker 2: team in general could have a rally around in the
Speaker 2: second half. But I would be okay if you needed.
Speaker 3: To and don't. Yeah, I don't. Look at his batting
Speaker 3: average in July.
Speaker 1: Please yeah, point zero eight one DA in July. So
Speaker 1: has not been good. And I'm waiting for Jared Walsher
Speaker 1: to end up on another team and become like CJ.
Speaker 1: Cronwer just as it really, you know, it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: look at that. No, look he's a good player. Not kidding.
Speaker 1: So the Angels do bring up these guys and then
Speaker 1: they don't perform, so they think and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden they're gone somewhere else and they blossom. Something's
Speaker 1: weird in the water there in Anaheim. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is, but something's definitely strange in the water
Speaker 1: for Baltimore in Seattle, Baltimore up to their highest mark
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety nine in terms of wind streaks, and
Speaker 1: then the Mariners are up to their eleventh straight win
Speaker 1: as well. Just crazy what these two teams are doing,
Speaker 1: and we don't know Baseball is a game of streaks. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us think the Oriols are
Speaker 1: a playoff team, but Seattle right now is in the
Speaker 1: thick of the wild card. Do you think this is
Speaker 1: a team that can hang in it the way they're
Speaker 1: currently structured, especially in the rotation.
Speaker 2: I think they got to make moves. I mean about
Speaker 2: that out a ton they got to make. I think
Speaker 2: they need to bring on a move or two. That's
Speaker 2: why I think you asked me when we were talking
Speaker 2: about the Luis Castillo trade rumors a week or so ago.
Speaker 3: My number one of who should was the Mariners. They should.
Speaker 3: They should be the active ones.
Speaker 2: They've got the pieces, they should go out and they
Speaker 2: should try to build up on this team. The difference
Speaker 2: between for better for worse between the Mariners and the Orioles.
Speaker 2: The Orioles have this plethora of young talent that they
Speaker 2: could a obviously trade from, but b they could bring up.
Speaker 2: You know, they've done a really good job of like
Speaker 2: slowly bringing up the young guys at least doing really well.
Speaker 2: You got dl Hall, You've got Gunner Henderson. You could
Speaker 2: have an influx from that space. So something you could
Speaker 2: potentially think about maybe bring in one more veteran bat
Speaker 2: if you want to trade for bullpen. I think that's
Speaker 2: always the best used to go if you can't get
Speaker 2: starting pitchers, but you've got dl Hall that can come up.
Speaker 2: You've got Gunner Henderson to be an influx of you know,
Speaker 2: just one of those really positive young bats to come in.
Speaker 3: Mariners don't really have that. I don't think mariners at
Speaker 3: this point.
Speaker 2: You know, they've kind of I mean f Kelnick if
Speaker 2: that's gonna work, well, I don't know. Both should be
Speaker 2: more active in the trade market, and I think they
Speaker 2: should start now, because the worst thing you can do
Speaker 2: is try to be competing against teams like the Dodgers
Speaker 2: and the Yankees around the trade deadline. So you should
Speaker 2: be active at this moment.
Speaker 1: All right, here's the home run derby set up right here.
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso is plus two hundred to win. Klle shwover
Speaker 1: plus two fifty, so too at plus five. That's where
Speaker 1: my money's going. Lon Lacunia at plus six hundred. Julio
Speaker 1: is at ten to one, hosier A mirrors twelve to one,
Speaker 1: Corey Seeger twelve, Pools twenty to one. I would not
Speaker 1: bet on Poohles because it's so hard for you know,
Speaker 1: the physical demand of the time limit is very difficult
Speaker 1: on the older player. As far as the I think
Speaker 1: it's pretty simple for me. It's Juio's my favorite long shot.
Speaker 1: Sodo's my favorite favorite of the three. That's how I
Speaker 1: would approach this, putting money on things. How would you
Speaker 1: approach it?
Speaker 3: Who is your favorite? Sodo?
Speaker 1: Who at five to one? Because I'm gonna make more
Speaker 1: money on it, and to me, he's just as good
Speaker 1: of a shot as Alonzo Schwarber. That's a really you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, twice as much money on the
Speaker 1: same investment.
Speaker 2: Should we look should we get into looking at park
Speaker 2: factors for lefties versus righty's in this one?
Speaker 1: Something that can tend I mean it's batting practice, speeds
Speaker 1: on't how much that matters.
Speaker 2: When I look at this, I mean, like the homer
Speaker 2: in me wants to take Julio Rodriguez at one thousand
Speaker 2: to one. You're sitt here middle line safe bet. Like
Speaker 2: you said, it's probably Sodo, but Pede Alonzo I think
Speaker 2: is ultimately the bet. You know, if I had to, well,
Speaker 2: I probably unveiling what I'm gonna have contest, I suppose,
Speaker 2: but I think it's hard to bet against Sodo. Maybe
Speaker 2: park factors come in too. I'm surprised to see Schwarber
Speaker 2: at almost even money with Alonzo double where Sodo is
Speaker 2: right now, that's really really interesting.
Speaker 3: But I would me personally, I've.
Speaker 2: Eliminated the long the three long shots at the bottom.
Speaker 3: If I'm making my choice on.
Speaker 1: That, Corey Seeger would be hilarious winner, right, go back
Speaker 1: to Dodger Stadium, right, I mean, that wouldn't be like, oh,
Speaker 1: that would be the story line, good story holding up
Speaker 1: the thing there. I mean, this is all bar ballpark.
Speaker 2: If there's somebody that you to manage that ballpark for sure,
Speaker 2: that is something I hadn't even thought about or considered.
Speaker 1: This is one of the biggest things I thought about
Speaker 1: when I saw him, was like, Oh, that's really interesting
Speaker 1: because that's a guy who's very familiar with the batter's
Speaker 1: eye quote unquote in that area more than anybody else
Speaker 1: in this contest. That's kind of interesting to me.
Speaker 2: Would you consider doing multi bets on this if you
Speaker 2: were going to place it? Like, are you are you
Speaker 2: like a one better for the home rund Derby or
Speaker 2: do you go I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna take I t fiftree guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would take fifty bucks, and I would put
Speaker 1: like ten on the biggest long shot, you know, and.
Speaker 2: Then maybe one on the favorite a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, yeah, you do that kind of thing. Like again,
Speaker 1: I'm using a multiple. You won't put a hundred on it.
Speaker 1: Then it's much easier to spread it around. But in
Speaker 1: terms of percentages, if I was at one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: spent on the derby and I wanted to have some fun,
Speaker 1: I would put fifty percent on the guy that I
Speaker 1: thought was really my guy, and then I would take
Speaker 1: the last fifty and do thirty twenty over too.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I might use something like if
Speaker 2: I had one hundred and fifty on Alonzo, maybe twenty
Speaker 2: five on Soto and twenty five on Julio, something something
Speaker 2: along those lines to play around with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you gotta see, as the thing is like,
Speaker 1: to make that work, you've got to put it on
Speaker 1: one of the long shots that's.
Speaker 3: Well hilous Julio's ten to one, Huos.
Speaker 1: At ten to one, and Cory seeger is at twelve
Speaker 1: to one. I kind of think Sodo Julio Seeger is
Speaker 1: the most intriguing from the Bettings perspective, like that, that
Speaker 1: would be the trio I would be looking at. I
Speaker 1: don't know the more I might talk myself into the
Speaker 1: Corey Seager thing. By the end of this show.
Speaker 3: Who sounds like you have? It sounds like you have.
Speaker 1: I haven't yet. Still mulling, still mulling. All right, this
Speaker 1: day in baseball, here you go, twenty eight years ago today,
Speaker 1: Albert Bell's cork bat was confiscated by Empires, and so
Speaker 1: began the greatest MLB heights in history, where Jason Grimsley
Speaker 1: climbed through the ceiling of the Tribe clubhouse into the
Speaker 1: umpire's room, stole a corkbat, and replaced it with Paul
Speaker 1: Sorrento's bat, which happened to be stamped with Paul Sorrento's name,
Speaker 1: So that did not work out very well.
Speaker 3: I'm oh, I remember this.
Speaker 1: I remember this very well. Hilarious and once again in
Speaker 1: an era where we don't have social media, imagine the
Speaker 1: Jason Grimsly crawl like die Hard crawling through the air
Speaker 1: shaft John McClain style switched. He actually did this, He
Speaker 1: actually did this. He actually climbed through, got through the
Speaker 1: drop ceiling, switched the bat. But they did all that,
Speaker 1: but they didn't think, oh wait, it's got Paul Sorrento's
Speaker 1: name on it. Probably not.
Speaker 2: The bat drops Sorrento's bat, gets up in there in
Speaker 2: the vent, puts his head back out in the vent
Speaker 2: and goes yip be kayem.
Speaker 3: And then that's so good. That's a good bit.
Speaker 1: I like it. It's so good, so good. All right,
Speaker 1: here's a good one too. Who is the oldest player
Speaker 1: in the history of baseball to win the Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year award? I thought we did the youngest MVP
Speaker 1: earlier this week, and that was fun. Who was the
Speaker 1: oldest player to win Rookie of the Year. I did
Speaker 1: not know the answer to this, so I have a
Speaker 1: guls disclosure. Go ahead, take your well, you ruined.
Speaker 3: It, ruined it yesterday. I know I ruined it yesterday.
Speaker 2: Immediately, I don't think mine's right, because my my, as
Speaker 2: you just said that, I realized this might be something
Speaker 2: of an international player, and if it is, then I'm wrong.
Speaker 2: The player that jumped to my mind because I remember
Speaker 2: him being an older rookie, was Ryan Howard with the Phillies.
Speaker 1: It's not Ryan Howard, okay, because I.
Speaker 3: Feel like it was like twenty six or twenty seven
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 2: It's got to be an international guy, right, someone like
Speaker 2: it came over at like thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to tell you if it is or
Speaker 1: it isn't. All I'm gonna tell you is it's not
Speaker 1: Ryan Howard. There you go. So there you have it, folks.
Speaker 1: If you think you know the answer, drop it in
Speaker 1: the chat over Fantasy Bros MLB again. Who's the oldest
Speaker 1: person to ever win Rookie of the Year in the
Speaker 1: major leagues. Here's your heroes from yesterday in the stack.
Speaker 1: Calum Corbyn burns ten k's seven innings, one earn, no decision,
Speaker 1: Tyler Anderson strong again six scoreless innings, only four k's
Speaker 1: but still getting those quality starts. Braxton Garrett six scoreless
Speaker 1: of his own. Luis Castillo seven innings and a very
Speaker 1: nice audition eight strikeouts, four walks, but he did go
Speaker 1: seven and Tristan McKenzie with the eight innings, twelve k's.
Speaker 1: Lewis Robert three for five with a bomb, Brandon Nemo
Speaker 1: three four of the home run, Sam Haggerty three for four,
Speaker 1: with a dinger. Andre Samanez two for three with a Homer,
Speaker 1: Zebbi Salva Sable excuse me two for five with the homer.
Speaker 1: Matt Carpenter Mayor got his home run for Matt Carpenter Gros,
Speaker 1: Trent Grisham, Bobby Witt also had good days also at
Speaker 1: Homer's Andrew Vaughan two for five with a dinger and
Speaker 1: Gavin Lux two for five with the dinger as well.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of eachi ro guesses in there.
Speaker 1: Each he ro is incorrect. Just in case you are
Speaker 1: looking at that.
Speaker 2: It wasn't eat you like twenty seven when he came over,
Speaker 2: and I feel like this is someone in their thirties.
Speaker 1: It is each row is old, but each row wasn't
Speaker 1: even the oldest Japanese player. That gives you a little
Speaker 1: bit of an extra fun thing here to contemplate. So he,
Speaker 1: I thought each ros where my head went immediately It
Speaker 1: was not the answer to the question.
Speaker 3: So seven when he came home, not Jackie Robins.
Speaker 1: Each row is twenty seven, but there was older people
Speaker 1: than him, if you can believe it. So there you go. Also,
Speaker 1: who was twenty seven was? I want to say it
Speaker 1: was Jose Abrau was also around twenty six or twenty
Speaker 1: SE's twenty seven, twenty fourteen.
Speaker 3: Also not the oldest Decie Matt Suey.
Speaker 1: Nope, no, but he's not a Decie Matt Suey either.
Speaker 1: It's not Jackie Robinson at twenty eight years old. Uh.
Speaker 1: There was a Japanese import that was even older to
Speaker 1: win the Rookie of the Year, just as FYI, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that's the answer. I'm just throwing that out there,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't to Dekie Matt Suey. Here are the
Speaker 1: losers from yesterday. Sunny Gray six earned runs, Marco Gonzalez
Speaker 1: five earned runs, Blake Snell five earned runs. Though, Blake Snell,
Speaker 1: you sox walks to six walks. I mean, that's your
Speaker 1: vintage Blake Snell. This is why I never draft. Blake
Speaker 1: Snell drives me crazy. Kyle Freeland four innings, five earned,
Speaker 1: Riley Green over four with the four k's. He had
Speaker 1: the Golden sombrero, as did Brandon marsh over four with
Speaker 1: the four k's. Max Munsey over four with three batting
Speaker 1: just one fifty eight eight homers in seventy two games.
Speaker 1: Rest of the season. Max Munsey or Jared Walsh. Wowsh
Speaker 1: would you rather have? Max?
Speaker 2: Monzi has the lowest qualified babbob of any player right now?
Speaker 2: But jee, I think it's hard, like anybody else.
Speaker 1: Like anybody else, that's the right answer. Gian Carlos Stanton
Speaker 1: over five with a K.
Speaker 3: I don't have an answer.
Speaker 2: I literally, legit, do not have any I could not
Speaker 2: answer that question for you because they're both so bad.
Speaker 3: The babbit up on Monday.
Speaker 1: I would just say, based on the fact that he's
Speaker 1: on a better team, that's it.
Speaker 3: Maybe, that's maybe.
Speaker 1: And I don't even think that's a good answer. Luke
Speaker 1: void Oh for four to two k's, Jeter downs Oh
Speaker 1: four to two k's gian Carlos Stanton over five with
Speaker 1: a strikeout. Uh. In case you were wondering, No, it's
Speaker 1: not Fernando Valenzuela and not Hideo Nomo Kasazaki. Very good guess.
Speaker 1: He is older than Echiro and did win this award,
Speaker 1: So that is an excellent guest. But you're all wrong. Uh.
Speaker 1: The name of the person is somebody from nineteen fifty.
Speaker 1: Sam Jethrow from nineteen fifty with the Boston Braves is
Speaker 1: the correct answer. This is the name that I never
Speaker 1: heard of, and and I'm a pretty big dork when
Speaker 1: it comes to baseball history. Sam Jethro played in the
Speaker 1: Negro Leagues for a while but then came up with
Speaker 1: Boston and then played a professional eighteen seasons from nineteen
Speaker 1: thirty eight to nineteen fifty eight, fifty to fifty eight
Speaker 1: in the major leagues, and then he also had four
Speaker 1: seasons in Major League Baseball, eight in Triple A and
Speaker 1: eight in the Negro Leagues. But he was older. Kasazaki
Speaker 1: was thirty two. Sam Jethrow was thirty three years old.
Speaker 1: So there you go. I thought that was a fun,
Speaker 1: crazy fact. I thought it was a Thiro And then
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, kas Matsui was older, Oh Kasazuki
Speaker 1: rather Nope, nope, nope, it was none of those guys.
Speaker 1: So there you go. So Sam Jethrow I named it
Speaker 1: once again. Never heard Jethro tull I know, but no,
Speaker 1: Sam Jeffro didn't know that. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the home run board today and it's gonna be depressing
Speaker 1: because Mike Marris got twenty nine. Now, very depressing on
Speaker 1: that Carpenter. Yeah, Matt Carpenter. I give him credit. On
Speaker 1: the Carpenter that's for sure. High Cubby's still at the
Speaker 1: top of thirty five. I still plenty of time left, though.
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of people in the twenty eight
Speaker 1: to twenty actually twenty eight to thirty two range, So
Speaker 1: this bad boy ain't over yet. Welsh. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've seen this, but I want to play this
Speaker 1: because this is something going around social media. So this
Speaker 1: is finish baseball. Do you see this? Uh check out
Speaker 1: this clip here of this guy. So apparently again we'll
Speaker 1: go over this year again. But apparently in Finland they
Speaker 1: have their own style of baseball which is a little
Speaker 1: bit different. And there's like a river with a camera,
Speaker 1: so there's like a river camp. So if you if
Speaker 1: you go, when you miss it, well there you go,
Speaker 1: boo boom. I'd like to add this into our Major
Speaker 1: League base.
Speaker 3: I think this is pretty solid.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I like obstacles in general. I think there's this. Yeah,
Speaker 3: every game.
Speaker 1: There's an elimination baseball challenge.
Speaker 2: There's a trap door in the field that no one
Speaker 2: knows about. Maybe there's a trampoline. It's all hidden, so
Speaker 2: guys are moving around. Maybe someone flies up. Maybe there's
Speaker 2: a water maybe a moat.
Speaker 1: Im.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be great?
Speaker 2: Remember the old Astro stadium that had the hill you
Speaker 2: would go. But if there was grass, then a moat
Speaker 2: and then more grass at the back side of that,
Speaker 2: that would be fun.
Speaker 1: And to answer that, this is why you watch on
Speaker 1: the YouTube channels. He could watch this man diving and
Speaker 1: then falling off of a cliff basically into water. My
Speaker 1: cousin says he would play here in this of course
Speaker 1: he would. And uh, why is there a camera there? Why?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, because that's gonna happen eventually. That's
Speaker 1: the want to make sure you grab it. Here is
Speaker 1: one more time, because that is this is spectacular. Look
Speaker 1: at him go to stop there he goes slash right
Speaker 1: in there. That's tremendous. I love that good stuff right there.
Speaker 2: I should have some signs in the water. By the way,
Speaker 2: they're missing advertising in the water. There's like a water
Speaker 2: filled tashool company splash.
Speaker 1: So it was brought to you by I don't know
Speaker 1: in Finland, what would it be brought to you by
Speaker 1: canned fish of something? I would I would imagine shout
Speaker 1: out to Tom Viola, our own Tommy v for throwing
Speaker 1: that in the chat here with me today because I
Speaker 1: had seen it. He's like, hey, I can put it
Speaker 1: on on Streammark you want to? Said yes, yes, I do.
Speaker 1: He also play a wacky system of bases too, where
Speaker 1: the first base is not where our first base. It's
Speaker 1: a whole thing. Finish baseball. It's lightning. Catch it in
Speaker 1: a bottle. All right, Let's go to betmgm, the King
Speaker 1: of sportsbooks. Bet ten dollars win two hundred when you
Speaker 1: sign up today at betmgm dot com or the bet
Speaker 1: mgm app again that promo code leading off one word,
Speaker 1: bet ten dollars win two hundred. The Derby's around the corner.
Speaker 1: Make some wagers, by the way, also Otani or he passed?
Speaker 1: He said it it's gonna go away. It is, you
Speaker 1: missed it. I hope you're on the journey with us.
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is minus one oh seven one and a
Speaker 1: half total bases against Boston Gean Carlos Stanton one and
Speaker 1: a half total bases plus one thirty against Boston tight,
Speaker 1: which is fascinating. Robbie Ray strikeout total on FanDuel is
Speaker 1: at six and a half. I like the over on
Speaker 1: that one. Our projections have him at eight tonight against
Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers. Minus one forty still worth it and
Speaker 1: minus one twenty four is the juice on Sandel Contra
Speaker 1: at the six and a half on fanduels K's as well.
Speaker 1: A Contra has been so good Welsh, what have you
Speaker 1: looked at today that's got you excited for the prop market? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I like that Stanton one. I also like that Robbie
Speaker 2: ray one. Actually a lot more than I'm looking at it,
Speaker 2: ju stop, but I still like three that.
Speaker 3: I like.
Speaker 2: Xander Bogart's total bases one and a half over it
Speaker 2: is plus one forty six, got a lifetime fifteen for
Speaker 2: thirty three versus Montgomery.
Speaker 3: And in five of his last games he has multi
Speaker 3: hit games. Mister Zander Bogarts does also.
Speaker 2: I believe three of his last four he's got a
Speaker 2: double in games, So very very good matchup for him.
Speaker 2: You got Stanton, I got Judge Judge one and a
Speaker 2: half total bases essentially even money one oh five and Kopek,
Speaker 2: who has struggled the tiny bit as of recent four
Speaker 2: and a half strikeouts versus Minnesota today. He struck out
Speaker 2: five and seven in the two previous matchups versus Minnesota.
Speaker 2: I think there's an overall general worry about him, and
Speaker 2: like the downtick and k's, but this is a relatively
Speaker 2: good matchup. It's a low number for someone that has
Speaker 2: hit this twice before. The five k's, Michael Kopek Judge
Speaker 2: total bases and Xander total bases.
Speaker 3: Those are my three all right.
Speaker 1: Looking at the DFS slate tonight, to me, you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta be really careful because you got a full
Speaker 1: slate of games tonight. Robbie Ray is a really good
Speaker 1: investment at nine point nine point eight k over on DraftKings.
Speaker 1: Kershaw nine point four also good. Darvish is even cheaper.
Speaker 1: I would fade away from Woodrof at the ten to
Speaker 1: two on the road, I think that's tough, man. I'll
Speaker 1: take the Ellen Kevin Gossman last night he pitched well,
Speaker 1: but they couldn't score any runs for it was so
Speaker 1: brutal against that joke of a beast squad. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: total Beast just a joke. So I'll double down with
Speaker 1: Manoa tonight too. So Manoa, Ray and Kershaw is how
Speaker 1: I would go and just try to do combinations of them.
Speaker 1: If you want to do a combination with Darvish against
Speaker 1: Arizona two. I think that's always advisable. So though those
Speaker 1: four pictures are the ones, I would just hyper focus
Speaker 1: try to get the right combination of those guys in
Speaker 1: cash and I think I would just drop that same
Speaker 1: lineup in tournaments tonight because I think it tracks the same.
Speaker 1: On the FanDuel side, Alec Manoah's nine point six a
Speaker 1: lot cheaper. He's a thousand dollars cheaper than Robbie Ray.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna go to it and fade the
Speaker 1: rest of the guys because everybody else, if you want,
Speaker 1: you could do Ray Kershaw darvish Woodriff. Just have a
Speaker 1: lineup that's gonna give you about ten point seven left
Speaker 1: in it and just interchange those pictures. If you're gonna
Speaker 1: play multi entry tonight, that's the approach, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to do that tonight, I think on the FanDuel side,
Speaker 1: So that's why I actually think DK is a little
Speaker 1: bit more user friendly tonight in that sense. I'm going
Speaker 1: with Vad Guerrero Junior though for my home run call
Speaker 1: over the weekend, So let's go and then I'll make
Speaker 1: my official choices on Monday show for the home run Derby.
Speaker 1: We'll save all that and we'll do some fun stuff
Speaker 1: on Monday as well. Where you're going for your home
Speaker 1: run call this weekend?
Speaker 3: Here, Welsh, I'm gonna go with Judge.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go super lame and cheap, but great matchup,
Speaker 2: by the way, just career wise against Nathan Yuvaldi, who's
Speaker 2: returning from not pitching for over a month. So Aaron
Speaker 2: Judge almost a three eighty average against the Valdi career wise.
Speaker 2: Valdi's been out. I imagine he'll get some heavy strikeouts,
Speaker 2: but Judge takes advantage and why not just take him
Speaker 2: into the weekend?
Speaker 3: Get me some homers. That's where I'm going.
Speaker 1: There, you go, get us some homers. And Mayor took
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts, so we'll see how that goes. So he's
Speaker 1: taking on with Red, so he made his little Matt Carpenter.
Speaker 1: Now he's going back up to the big guys. Now
Speaker 1: Mayor is in process of moving, so I don't know
Speaker 1: how that's going to affect his home run calls. So
Speaker 1: this is your opportunity, everybody, to go past Mayor for
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. I want you to take advantage
Speaker 1: of this opportunity. On Monday. I'd love to come and
Speaker 1: talk about the Futures Game and some of those guys
Speaker 1: that you saw play some really good names in that
Speaker 1: game too. Who are you excited to see in the
Speaker 1: Futures Game?
Speaker 2: Wellsh like, oh man, I mean, there's a litany of guys.
Speaker 2: Mason winn is one of my just favorite young prospects.
Speaker 2: You got Tovar, Elie day La Cruz is out there,
Speaker 2: Corbyn Carroll is going to be on view. I would
Speaker 2: tell you though, Juri Perez against this crew is one
Speaker 2: of the youngest players there is going to be maybe
Speaker 2: one of the most exciting big six foot seven pitcher
Speaker 2: for the Marlins. You know, he is theoretically going to
Speaker 2: be going up against some of the best in baseball,
Speaker 2: and that type of competition has me really excited.
Speaker 3: So I'm very excited about that.
Speaker 2: And the MLB Draft, I just want to remind you
Speaker 2: is on Sunday, So Monday, as we come in, the
Speaker 2: first round will be over.
Speaker 3: And we got some interesting stuff that is.
Speaker 2: Being rumored around that the Orioles might not take the
Speaker 2: top player in the draft and they might pass for
Speaker 2: some cash savings.
Speaker 3: So we'll see how that.
Speaker 2: Uh, we'll see how that ends up affecting the entire
Speaker 2: draft on Sun.
Speaker 1: Monday is gonna be a good show if you play
Speaker 1: Dynasty here, because we're gonna we're gonna have a lot
Speaker 1: of that stuff and a lot of that coverage here
Speaker 1: for you between the Futures game, between the MLB Draft,
Speaker 1: which is gonna be super fun, and it's always super
Speaker 1: fun here. So there you have it. I hope everybody
Speaker 1: enjoys their weekend, enjoys a little break too. You have
Speaker 1: a little fun, all star festivities, everything going on there.
Speaker 1: So enjoy the families this weekend, enjoy whatever you got
Speaker 1: going on with your friends, or enjoy the silence. It's
Speaker 1: just nice to have as well. Sometimes that'll do for us.
Speaker 1: But the story of the game goes on for the Welsh.
Speaker 1: I'm Joey P. We'll see you next time. Kids, Watch
Speaker 1: out for the Lake.
