Speaker 1: Bet three six five. It is me Joey P. That
Speaker 1: of course is the Welsh, and it's you, the Peanuts
Speaker 1: and the Cracker Jacks. Not a lot from yesterday in baseball,
Speaker 1: but certainly we're going to talk about the James Wood debut.
Speaker 1: Very exciting stuff there. The baseball world was a buzz.
Speaker 1: A lot of games today, full slate. We've got some
Speaker 1: bets for you. We've got a lot of fun things
Speaker 1: going on end. Because of the July fourth holiday, we
Speaker 1: will not be working July fourth, everybody. We want you
Speaker 1: and everyone else out there to enjoy the holiday, but
Speaker 1: us more poortly enjoy the holiday as well. We want
Speaker 1: to take some time off here, a little.
Speaker 2: Bit of a getta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Welsh needs a blow on July fourth there, so
Speaker 1: we're gonna give him a blow on July fourth. All
Speaker 1: the fireworks is gonna go, enjoy them, and we'll be
Speaker 1: back on Friday. But because of that, we're moving things
Speaker 1: up prospecting with the Welsh tomorrow today waiver wire, just
Speaker 1: so you get all the information you need Welsh. First
Speaker 1: of all, I have to start the show off with
Speaker 1: an apology because I bullied you into a home run
Speaker 1: pick yesterday. Ah, because I just wanted to have fun
Speaker 1: with you. I just wanted you and me once to
Speaker 1: have fun. And if James Wood, after all the James
Speaker 1: Wood stuff, hit a home run in his debut yesterday,
Speaker 1: we would have been so happy together, frolicking hand in
Speaker 1: hand through the AI.
Speaker 3: It had been you, me and James Wood holding hands
Speaker 3: running through a baseball field. Everybody in this live stream
Speaker 3: knew your Alvarez was hitting a home yesterday. As soon
Speaker 3: as I was like, well, I was gonna take your Valvarez,
Speaker 3: but I'll go with you, the chat was like, and
Speaker 3: guess what, I didn't know your Nalvarez hit a homer,
Speaker 3: except it then got tweeted Twitter Cot And as soon
Speaker 3: as someone just tweeted me Jordan, I went h we
Speaker 3: all knew it was gonna happen.
Speaker 2: I should have went with it.
Speaker 3: I would probably be at twenty two homers right now.
Speaker 3: Had I just followed the path that I've laid out
Speaker 3: for myself, but I dev eight from it because I
Speaker 3: get weird brain thing and I did follow the Jason Wood.
Speaker 1: But I'm okay with giving you the home run. But
Speaker 1: I'm sure fred Dinger won't.
Speaker 2: Oh wild cards would.
Speaker 1: Just go cards, would you know, take it to the
Speaker 1: League office, probably take.
Speaker 3: It to the Supreme Court. We're not gonna do that,
Speaker 3: so don't worry about that.
Speaker 1: We got some rookie lookie stuff though, too, a lot
Speaker 1: of rookie stuff going on. But let's just jump in
Speaker 1: right to the James Wood singled, had a walk, five
Speaker 1: played appearances yesterday. The game went to extra innings, so
Speaker 1: you know, it's a nice first moment, you know, comes
Speaker 1: up there, gets a great ovation from the home crowd.
Speaker 1: Good to see the Nats fans excited, you know, really
Speaker 1: excited again for something like this. You know these you
Speaker 1: know back in the day we're excited for Strasbourg and
Speaker 1: so and all these things. It's been a while if
Speaker 1: you're a Nats fan since the World Series, basically that
Speaker 1: you've been excited for anything. Three of the four balls
Speaker 1: you put in play yesterday, one hundred and seven mone
Speaker 1: hour single all had ninety six ninety five exit v
Speaker 1: low if you're into that kind of thing. Mackenzie in
Speaker 1: that game as well, one runner five and two thirds
Speaker 1: struck out eight mets yesterday, So they just wanted to
Speaker 1: kind of revisit the Sodo trade for a second. Now
Speaker 1: that we have James Wood up, Mackenzie gore sixteen starts
Speaker 1: this year, six and seven, a three six zero ERA.
Speaker 1: He's got a kper nine over ten cj Abrams hitting
Speaker 1: two eighty two with a five thirteen slugging and a
Speaker 1: fifty two ohps, thirteen homers, forty two RBI, thirteen steals.
Speaker 1: James would obviously up already had a great triple A season.
Speaker 1: Robert Hassel forty nine games, still kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: mid figuring things out a little bit there. It's got
Speaker 1: eleven steals, hitting two seventy eight, but the slugging is
Speaker 1: only at three sixty nine. So looking back on it
Speaker 1: all now we have a little bit more perspective, the
Speaker 1: Nats made some hard decisions. Clearly, the best decision would
Speaker 1: not have been to spend money on Stephen Strasburg. It
Speaker 1: would have been to spend on the position player. They
Speaker 1: did not. After that decision was made, Now that you
Speaker 1: have some perspective. What is your perspective of this trade
Speaker 1: looking back on it a few years later.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it doesn't look good like that's the
Speaker 3: easy way to say it, but there is.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised. That's that's the take here, Expelled.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: I like you can do the path though, because then
Speaker 3: they trade well, because here's the deal.
Speaker 2: They traded three.
Speaker 3: You know, major league level players. You know, they traded
Speaker 3: away and you've got Gore, You've got James Wood, which
Speaker 3: could be helping this team right now. What I look
Speaker 3: at though, is they traded away Sodo and they got
Speaker 3: back Drew Thorpe, and then they then turned Drew Thorpe
Speaker 3: into Dylan c So you know, you can kind of
Speaker 3: run through the path of like, all right, they got
Speaker 3: a year of Sodo and then they turned Sodo into
Speaker 3: Dylan ce S, which I guess it kind of like
Speaker 3: it helps itself. My problem is is when you trade
Speaker 3: that weight of great players, I mean specifically it's Gordon Wood.
Speaker 3: When you trade that way, well in Abrams, I keep
Speaker 3: forgetting about Abrams was sold. He's the I mean, he's
Speaker 3: the core piece here. When you trade that level and
Speaker 3: then you can't re sign and.
Speaker 2: Bring Sodo back. Then, I think it's a failure like that,
Speaker 2: And I always.
Speaker 1: Thinking from the okay, so I'm I'm thinking from the
Speaker 1: NATS side that I think they've done pretty well here. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think they have to get about Padres. I'm I
Speaker 1: was even thinking about the Padres. I'm talking about the
Speaker 1: Gnat side of this deal. I'm looking at it and
Speaker 1: it was heartbreaking at the time. It's still not the
Speaker 1: right decision. He should have paid total whatever he wanted
Speaker 1: and bought out all the years and just backed up
Speaker 1: the truck for him because you knew it was gonna
Speaker 1: be your franchise talent for the next decade. It's dead.
Speaker 1: They didn't, but now Abrams would Gore. Is that enough
Speaker 1: to show for that move? I thought it was.
Speaker 3: I always kind of thought it was, though, like when
Speaker 3: that trade happened, I got.
Speaker 1: I was not. I was skeptical, far more skeptical at
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 3: I think like I had optimism to mckinzi Gore though
Speaker 3: during that time McKinsey Gore was kind of a mess.
Speaker 3: With the Padres c j Abrams believed in and James
Speaker 3: Wood we knew the upside was plus they still got
Speaker 3: Yarlands Susana, and I think Hassle's not gonna happen, but
Speaker 3: Susana has a chance to worst be you know, a
Speaker 3: relief pitcher in there.
Speaker 2: But this is a it's an interesting trade in.
Speaker 1: That deal too. Let's he was playing in New Mexican.
Speaker 3: I will say multiple teams that have traded off that
Speaker 3: felt wrong have I think the White Sox are another
Speaker 3: example of like it was like, oh, we're trading away
Speaker 3: Gilito and we're trading away Dylan Ceese. But then you
Speaker 3: look and you're like, there are a couple position players
Speaker 3: and their miners away from having like a really great
Speaker 3: system in bouncing back. I think the Nationals are proof
Speaker 3: of that. And a guy like James Wood in that debut,
Speaker 3: you got to see a little bit of everything on hand.
Speaker 3: You got to see him work that first at bat
Speaker 3: really hard. I mean he drove that count up. You
Speaker 3: get to see the hard hit drives an opposite field
Speaker 3: single one oh seven. You saw the speed they ruled
Speaker 3: the second one in error. We're gonna be honest with you,
Speaker 3: like he was right there at first and then he
Speaker 3: moved over to second. You just didn't get to see
Speaker 3: him get the ball in the air and see some
Speaker 3: of the wild stuff that he can do. As I
Speaker 3: mentioned like left easy doesn't put big extra base hits
Speaker 3: on a bad strikeout, but he was also taking early
Speaker 3: strikes just to kind of see the counts I thought
Speaker 3: there was.
Speaker 2: Again, it's one start.
Speaker 3: There's so much good out of it for James Wood
Speaker 3: should be and people should really be excited. And also,
Speaker 3: just to reiterate your other point when you brought up
Speaker 3: Mackenzie Gore, I think McKenzie Gore has just been sneaky.
Speaker 2: Sneaky good all year.
Speaker 3: This is the Gore that I saw coming out of
Speaker 3: high school. This is the gore I saw in the
Speaker 3: backfields for the Padres, whipping that curveball in through it
Speaker 3: nineteen percent of the time in his last start, had
Speaker 3: a forty five percent whiff rate. The curveball looks amazing.
Speaker 3: Slider's eating thirty eight percent whiff rate in this start.
Speaker 3: Mackenzie Gore is a great Dynasty buy right now as well.
Speaker 3: But James Wood should make us feel pretty good now.
Speaker 3: I think we can spend the next month hopefully feeling
Speaker 3: really good about prospects. Is as we mentioned yesterday, Cherio
Speaker 3: in length right now, James wood Is that we can
Speaker 3: feel positive and camon Aro probably going to be an
Speaker 3: option coming off of the All Star break, but we'll
Speaker 3: talk about more of that tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I suppose mord to more teaser, that's what they call it.
Speaker 1: The business Hunter. Brown still good on the roll, six
Speaker 1: scoreless innings, more for the Astros, beating up on the
Speaker 1: Blue Jays three one.
Speaker 2: He's so good.
Speaker 1: Brown has by lower the year right now, probably live anyway.
Speaker 3: I think his last five starts he's had like a
Speaker 3: sub one era. He's just not this major whiffy strikeout
Speaker 3: pitcher because he's become more heavy sinker.
Speaker 2: But the sinker has saved him.
Speaker 3: He had forty five swings in this start yesterday, only
Speaker 3: eight induced whiffs, and the called strike ratio was down
Speaker 3: as far as like wists go, too, because that's just.
Speaker 2: Not necessarily his game.
Speaker 3: He'll pump in the fastball that's actually getting some of
Speaker 3: the strikeouts. Sinker cutter week contact. He's been so good,
Speaker 3: you said it, one of the best buys of the year,
Speaker 3: and I just roll the rest of the season. I
Speaker 3: don't think he's going to be sub one era or
Speaker 3: anything like that to finish out, but I think he
Speaker 3: is going to finish out very strong, and we're gonna
Speaker 3: be talking about him maybe as a top fifteen sp
Speaker 3: next year if he continues this role.
Speaker 1: The Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake has been working with
Speaker 1: Carlos Rodan trying to get a better approach in terms
Speaker 1: of fastball, because we mentioned earlier this week that Carls
Speaker 1: Rondon up to twenty earned runs now his last three
Speaker 1: stars guys are have opposing batters have a twelve fifty
Speaker 1: three ops over that spand so that's not been good.
Speaker 1: H tonight, you guess, Louis Heel, so Welsh, how are
Speaker 1: you feeling about this start here for our boy Louie tonight?
Speaker 1: Paid tension, little.
Speaker 2: Tense, little tension, A little tension up.
Speaker 3: Shout out my boy. Dennis Hitler actually was with Louis
Speaker 3: Heel yesterday. There's a thing at a brewery or whatever.
Speaker 3: But on paper, in theory, this is a good spot
Speaker 3: for Louis Heel. This is a team that you know,
Speaker 3: the walks aren't gonna be up there. You're gonna have
Speaker 3: guys swinging through their shoes. His k's have been solved.
Speaker 3: The only problem is is he's been his stuff has
Speaker 3: been a little bit off. He's been sitting inside the
Speaker 3: plate a little bit more, and then when he gets
Speaker 3: inside the plate, he starts throwing balls.
Speaker 2: He has gotten to get back to that big.
Speaker 3: Efficient, crazy pitch mixed stuff. I'm cush optimistic for what
Speaker 3: cold did for me on Sunday or Saturday whatever it was.
Speaker 3: Heel gets back to heelness and becomes the king of
Speaker 3: the heel. Luis got to do some business.
Speaker 1: Oh that was it. That was a really good dad
Speaker 1: joke to give me the heel. That's solid, solid work there.
Speaker 1: All right, let's have something here, boss. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you buy Bob Nightingale. Uh, track record's not always
Speaker 1: great about reporting things.
Speaker 2: Is there anybody worse? Is there anything ty for guy
Speaker 2: you have a thing with?
Speaker 1: I don't have a thing, but it was pointed out
Speaker 1: to me years ago and ever since it's like, you
Speaker 1: know that thing that you can't see it once you've
Speaker 1: seen it. And then every time I see him in
Speaker 1: the off season, all he does is basically create clickbig nonsets.
Speaker 2: Like I mean, that's Nightingale.
Speaker 1: Who was the guy that also got destroyed about the
Speaker 1: Otani Toronto thing?
Speaker 2: Or was that him? I actually thought that was Nightingale.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you.
Speaker 1: It might have been both of them, but Moros.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're one person.
Speaker 3: Maybe they're just like those clickdate accounts that are out there.
Speaker 1: Apparently, now that the Mets are hovering around five hundred,
Speaker 1: that Pete A. Lonzo may not be traded at the DAD.
Speaker 1: We'll believe that one when I see it. However, the
Speaker 1: White Sox do intend to trade Garrett Crochet, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, fun fact leading the league in strikeouts Garret
Speaker 1: Crochet and more than Tyler Glasnow I did not have
Speaker 1: that on my Bengo car Gras I.
Speaker 2: Did a video.
Speaker 3: I just did the video on him. I think I
Speaker 3: mentioned on here. But since June first, thirty seven percent
Speaker 3: K percentage and he has the best K minus walk
Speaker 3: percentage since June as well. He has been unreal. But
Speaker 3: that was the thing that was why we presented by
Speaker 3: dang It. I completely forgot about this same dang it
Speaker 3: because we asked people to, you know, should we trade
Speaker 3: Garrett Crochet in the videos and people were commenting, and
Speaker 3: ah man, someone had such a good comment, and I forgot.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can pull it back up.
Speaker 1: You guys have more things to roll through. If you
Speaker 1: want to go see if you can find the comment.
Speaker 1: So I'll look here. Rookie Lukie time the Brewers sent
Speaker 1: Tyler Black down to Triple A again. Kobe Mayo Apparently
Speaker 1: a little interview yesterday with Michael Ayas says that Kobe
Speaker 1: Mayo really doesn't have much to prove left in the
Speaker 1: minor leagues. Well, should we going to get a Kobe
Speaker 1: Mayo call up soon? It feels like we might.
Speaker 3: Feels like said there was only two guys worth stashing,
Speaker 3: and that was James Wood last week and Kobe Mayo.
Speaker 3: He's absolutely on fire. They just got to make room
Speaker 3: for him. I don't know how comfortable this team is
Speaker 3: with you know this many rookies. Jackson Holliday didn't work.
Speaker 3: Kerstad has actually been pretty solid since he's gotten back,
Speaker 3: So I don't know how they make it work, but
Speaker 3: I completely agree he does not need to be in
Speaker 3: the miners anymore.
Speaker 2: He's gotten very little to prove.
Speaker 1: The White Sox are promoting Kyle Busch from double to
Speaker 1: Triple A. He's twenty four years old. He was the
Speaker 1: guy in the Giolito Lopez deal five and three with
Speaker 1: a two point one two era, a seventy eight to
Speaker 1: thirty three strikeout walk rate in eighty innings. Is this
Speaker 1: something that the dynasty folks should be paying attention to.
Speaker 1: I know he wasn't like the highest rated prospect necessarily,
Speaker 1: but certainly from a performance standpoint, you know, put up
Speaker 1: a two era in double A like that has my attention.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all those guys, That's what I was talking about
Speaker 3: with the White Sox, Like their system is so unique
Speaker 3: and interesting because they what they did was they build.
Speaker 3: They did the anti dynasty thing. That's what I tell
Speaker 3: a lot of people. People will send me these trade
Speaker 3: things and we'll be like, hey, I'm trading away these
Speaker 3: great prospects for a pitcher, and I'm like, Eh, don't
Speaker 3: go by pictures when you're revamping your dynasty. Do that
Speaker 3: kind of lasts or don't have you know, trade away
Speaker 3: great hitters and be the centerpiece be pictures. But in
Speaker 3: real baseball, that is what you want to do, and
Speaker 3: that's what the White Sox did. They prioritize getting guys
Speaker 3: like Thorpe and Eerie Rt and Ky Bush, Nick Nastrini
Speaker 3: from the Dodgers. I think Kay Busch is more of
Speaker 3: a back end rotation player. But the good thing is
Speaker 3: they've been they've all been working and that's why they
Speaker 3: were all in Double A with Edgar Querrel. They've all
Speaker 3: been working with their same guy, and I think that's
Speaker 3: built a lot of confidence. I think again, it's a streamer,
Speaker 3: it's not someone and we're looking to pick up big term.
Speaker 3: But by the way, here was the comment on Garrett Crochet.
Speaker 3: Because we wanted all these people's take, which there's some
Speaker 3: good ones in here we had. I'm holding no trade.
Speaker 3: Garrett Crochet will get traded.
Speaker 2: And get an extension with somebody's take a bunch of others.
Speaker 1: That's a take I agree with.
Speaker 3: Football Mania said, I believe it would be insane to
Speaker 3: trade Crochet unless you get a huge holse starters, not prospects.
Speaker 2: That's what I would do. But this was my favorite.
Speaker 3: The moving blanket said I'm buying yarn to knit because
Speaker 3: I believe in Crochet.
Speaker 1: That was.
Speaker 3: The dad joke inside of me that loved that comment.
Speaker 3: So good job making comments from everybody on the video.
Speaker 1: Marcelo Mayor was not playing yesterday in Double A. He
Speaker 1: has a back issue he's working through, but Welsh mentioned
Speaker 1: him the other day on his video too. I believe
Speaker 1: Marcello Mar's other guy that you were talking about or recent.
Speaker 2: A while back. But I want David.
Speaker 1: Hamlett last one by a couple one onth ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and David Hamilton, that's been the big one. I'll
Speaker 3: say the batting average is like tapering down a tiny.
Speaker 1: Three seven, three seventy one, four seventy nine slash A
Speaker 1: that's pretty good.
Speaker 3: No, it's really good, and that I had pointed him
Speaker 3: out and I but at the time I was, I
Speaker 3: was very dismissive of David Hamilton. I was like, the
Speaker 3: only thing holding Marcella Mayor back from coming up is
Speaker 3: David Hamilton. To a degree, I think that's like that
Speaker 3: still kind of applies. But Hamilton two seventy twenty one
Speaker 3: stolen bases, He's expected batting averages around the general same area.
Speaker 3: He's barreling up like he's just had like a really
Speaker 3: solid good season. But in May when I was dismissive,
Speaker 3: he was hitting three thirty three. In June he's down
Speaker 3: to two fifty three. But he did just steal twelve
Speaker 3: bases in June. So I think Mayor is a guy
Speaker 3: that they could look at especially as they're looking to,
Speaker 3: you know, continue on win games and stuff like that
Speaker 3: if Hamilton tapers back.
Speaker 2: But they do like Hamilton right now.
Speaker 1: You know what time it is, Welsh, It's time to
Speaker 1: hit the waiver wire for week fifteen with Joey p
Speaker 1: and the Welsh. I've got some names for you, I
Speaker 1: believe it or not. Two Mets. I don't know what
Speaker 1: the world's coming to. Christian Scott's going to get the
Speaker 1: call again, coming back up to make a start Wednesday
Speaker 1: against the Nats, and he's roster in just fifty four
Speaker 1: percent of leagues. A lot of people had to drop
Speaker 1: him roster crunch. I understand the guy was spectacular when
Speaker 1: he was pitching for the New York Mets. Looking for
Speaker 1: him replacing Tyler McGill long term. In this people are saying, well,
Speaker 1: they're not committing to him. I'm gonna commit to him regardless.
Speaker 1: You gotta add this guy as soon as you possibly can.
Speaker 1: Fifty four percents too low for Scott, and the Mets
Speaker 1: are hovering around five hundred all of a sudden, are
Speaker 1: more relevant. He's got a three nine zero ERA, twenty
Speaker 1: five strikeouts, just six walks over twenty seven innings with
Speaker 1: the Mets this year. Another Met and I'm putting this
Speaker 1: out there because he was on a waiver wire video
Speaker 1: I did like a month ago. And he's still just
Speaker 1: sixty six percent rostered even though he has a nine
Speaker 1: hundred OPS and it's Mark Viento's. How is he still
Speaker 1: just sixty six percent rostered? Okay, let's just talk about
Speaker 1: this for a moment. Over his last nine games heading
Speaker 1: into this week, three twenty four batting average, seven rbi,
Speaker 1: ten runs scored. Okay, On the year, he is slashing
Speaker 1: two ninety seven, three fifty five five to seventy eight,
Speaker 1: ten homers, twenty three RBI, twenty four run score. Now
Speaker 1: he's not stealing any bases, that's fine, But Welsh Mark
Speaker 1: Vento's qualifies a first qualifies the third plays every day.
Speaker 1: He's got a nine hundred ops. How the hell is
Speaker 1: he just at sixty six percent?
Speaker 2: Hands up?
Speaker 3: I'm putting my hands up because I completely agree. Like
Speaker 3: I did this on IL yesterday, Mark Viento's is the
Speaker 3: number one pick up if he is available in any format.
Speaker 3: And guess what he was under like if e goes
Speaker 3: under sixty two percent in CBS when we did it
Speaker 3: yesterday way under another formats. You did some of the
Speaker 3: surface level stuff. I mean ten Homer's three zero one
Speaker 3: batting average kind of speaks for itself, but underlying an
Speaker 3: elite fifteen percent barrel rate, he's hitting the ball really hard,
Speaker 3: averaging over ninety EV with a one thirteen max. And
Speaker 3: he's cut his strikeouts by eight percent down to like
Speaker 3: not just that's a solid number. He was thirty percent
Speaker 3: last year, he's down to twenty two percent. Just making
Speaker 3: great contact with huge, huge power that can pull it
Speaker 3: on all sides of the field. I am a big,
Speaker 3: big Mark Viento's pickup guy, and you, I think you
Speaker 3: were like ahead of all of Oh you put on
Speaker 3: you red baity.
Speaker 1: If you go back and watch the shows on leading off.
Speaker 1: When Beatty was struggling, I was telling people go pick
Speaker 1: up Fiano's he's red hot at triple A. He was
Speaker 1: hot in spring training. There's no reason not to add
Speaker 1: this guy. And Batty of course got sent down. Now
Speaker 1: I know Baty's all of a sudden him for some power.
Speaker 1: I really don't care. Fiantos isn't given up that job
Speaker 1: anytime soon, so look at that. If anything Goody's a
Speaker 1: guy that's trade bait.
Speaker 3: At some point, go to Angelo, put Angelo's comment up,
Speaker 3: and then put Michael Impo's come because.
Speaker 1: Eighteen point six percent roster to ESPN leagues, that's great,
Speaker 1: and Yahoo fifty six percent rostered. Mine is on CBS.
Speaker 1: That's the roster percentage I gave you, So it's absurd.
Speaker 1: He needs to be roster Neston Curestad also not rostered enough.
Speaker 1: Fifty five percent. You gotta hold this guy on your
Speaker 1: roster available in fifty percent of the leagues. Thirteen games on
Speaker 1: the year so far, two homers, eight RBI, he's hitting
Speaker 1: three hundred. He's a four hundred OBP at the big
Speaker 1: league level so far over those thirteen games. He's going
Speaker 1: to be a contributor as the year goes on for
Speaker 1: the Orioles, and if not, then he's going to be
Speaker 1: an everyday player somewhere else. So I understand some of
Speaker 1: the platune stuff is a little annoying. I don't care.
Speaker 1: Kurse Dad needs to be rostered in more leagues. Same
Speaker 1: with Landon Knack of the Dodgers. In the meantime, here
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers make any moves in the month of July,
Speaker 1: nac is gonna keep getting some starts. He's got a
Speaker 1: two oadra, a point nine to six whip, twenty five strikeouts,
Speaker 1: eight walks in thirty innings so far. With Walker, Bueller's
Speaker 1: issues with Bobby Miller's issues with Clayton Kershaw's shoulder, Yamamoto
Speaker 1: on the IL, Look, there's room at the table for
Speaker 1: Landon Knack. He's rostered in twenty four percent of leagues
Speaker 1: and he gives you win equity every single day he
Speaker 1: takes the mount because he pitches for the Dodgers. Welsh,
Speaker 1: I'm shocked that he's just twenty four percent rostered on
Speaker 1: CBS right now.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure if I'm like shock shock, Oh member, Yeah,
Speaker 3: But like when you're like expanding it and you're looking at, like,
Speaker 3: all right, who are teams for players that you would
Speaker 3: want to pick up if they're getting opportunities, It's like
Speaker 3: the Dodgers would be that one. There's a little Gavin
Speaker 3: Stone in him and it's like low K percentage when
Speaker 3: he put up some big K perk.
Speaker 1: I'll take all the Gavinstone I can handle right now,
Speaker 1: because he's been tremendous. I'm just right.
Speaker 3: I don't disagree with that at all. But I'm just saying,
Speaker 3: like there's some underlying stuff that like you don't get
Speaker 3: away with, Like a Dylan Cees is a prime example
Speaker 3: of a guy where when Dylan Sees has a bad outing,
Speaker 3: he might still have nine strikeouts and four or five
Speaker 3: are in runs. That's not really happening with some of
Speaker 3: these Dodger pitchers, but there's just a lot of run
Speaker 3: support they're pitching well. He does have a run and
Speaker 3: a half expected the ra higher than his current It
Speaker 3: doesn't change the fact of like I would be spot,
Speaker 3: I would be maybe more than just spots.
Speaker 1: Star temporary tattoo. That's what he is. He's not the
Speaker 1: long term solution and Welsh, I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 1: get overexposed. And that's what you're saying, I think to
Speaker 1: everybody from correct, which is, Look, this guy's not great,
Speaker 1: but he's pitching for the Dodgers. He's gonna make a
Speaker 1: couple starts. He's got inequity. If you're gonna pinch for
Speaker 1: starting pitching right now, you go there and you're gonna
Speaker 1: burn and turn him into somebody else eventually, But for now,
Speaker 1: he's a guy that could be useful in the month
Speaker 1: of July. Also after the All Star break, keep an
Speaker 1: eye on dl Hall qualifies at RP, but he might
Speaker 1: get another shot at this rotation spot. He did throw
Speaker 1: sixty pitches three innings on Saturday, one run, five hits,
Speaker 1: struck out four, walked one. This was the guy that
Speaker 1: came over from the Orioles in that trade for Corbyn Burns.
Speaker 1: He's twenty percent rostered. The Brewers have all sorts of
Speaker 1: rotation problems with some injuries and performance. I think deal
Speaker 1: Hall is going to get a look in this rotation
Speaker 1: sooner than later, probably after the All Star break. Welsh,
Speaker 1: what do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely think that's a high possibility. I had
Speaker 3: brought to the table maybe it was last week or
Speaker 3: the week before on the prospects segment, Chad Patrick, who
Speaker 3: was a former diamondback who moved over. That's the guy
Speaker 3: that also could get an opportunity in the rotation near future.
Speaker 3: Good strikeouts. But DL Hall is a player they tou
Speaker 3: did that they wanted to put into the rotation. He's
Speaker 3: had some sustainability issues when he was an Oriole, but
Speaker 3: if you lay out the pitching prospects, he'll be the
Speaker 3: number one because Gasser, I think is having Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 3: Corlis Rodriguez wasn't great. Dl Hall will be the number
Speaker 3: one given the opportunity, So yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: Worry about anything too. She's missed most of the year,
Speaker 1: so now it's a matter of, hey, can you give
Speaker 1: you seventy five innings down the stretch?
Speaker 2: Very true.
Speaker 1: I think that answer is probably yes, and that's a
Speaker 1: good thing for the Brewers. So there you have it, everybody.
Speaker 1: That's the waiver Wire for week fifteen. Drop your comments
Speaker 1: below of course if you're watching, and let us know
Speaker 1: who you're picking up this week, and as always had
Speaker 1: a word of fantasybros dot com for more waiver Wire content.
Speaker 1: On the MLB side, Welsh Little three up and three down.
Speaker 1: Then we'll get to the injuries. Brenton Doyle homer twice,
Speaker 1: Jad Martinez a three run bomb and David Peterson no
Speaker 1: decision against the Nats, but six and a third of
Speaker 1: two run ball not too bad. Three down. Bryce Wilson
Speaker 1: five runs and four innings against the Rockies. Hunter Harvey
Speaker 1: five runs, four earned at the top of the tenth
Speaker 1: take the Big l and Dalton VARs Show continues to
Speaker 1: hit nothing hitless again seventh consecutive start, OH for three
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Astros. So daltenvar show not performing very well.
Speaker 1: Injuries mri on Corey seekers left hand negative. That's good.
Speaker 1: Vlad Guerrero was not arting yesterday. We had Zach Gallon
Speaker 1: start moved up to next Thursday against the Dodgers. That's
Speaker 1: apparently what's going on. Justin Verlander has yet to resume
Speaker 1: throwing because of the neck issue, so that's not good.
Speaker 1: He's not even playing catch right now, not even baseball activities.
Speaker 1: He's not even opening pocks of tops, baseball card, no
Speaker 1: baseball activities none. Brandon Nimo was out yesterday after he
Speaker 1: cut his forehead after falling in a hotel. Now, if
Speaker 1: you know Brandon Nimo, he's kind of like a choir boy.
Speaker 1: So I kind of want to know how this happened.
Speaker 1: Like did Brandon Nimo go out and like party with
Speaker 1: the guys once and like stumblely bumbly back to the
Speaker 1: hotel room. Because Nimo is a well known like I said,
Speaker 1: good boy, So I want to hear more about this story.
Speaker 2: I don't know implying.
Speaker 1: I'm not implying anything.
Speaker 2: Are you trying to say he likes to have a
Speaker 2: good time on the road.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, but I would think more of
Speaker 1: him if he did.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I want to one day write a book about I won't,
Speaker 3: but I want to write a book about all of
Speaker 3: the ridiculous injuries that players have gotten from the what
Speaker 3: is it? Clinton Barmas fell through the roof of a barn.
Speaker 1: And heard them, fell down the stairs and tripped over
Speaker 1: his dog.
Speaker 3: Ears again, there was a guy a tile fell out
Speaker 3: of his shower and broke his toe, Like there's baseball
Speaker 3: players are undefeated on.
Speaker 1: The most hand opener. I remember, like I remember if.
Speaker 2: This is probably something like that.
Speaker 3: He's probably like, oh, YouTuber was filming me and I
Speaker 3: tried to do a backflip and I slipped and fell
Speaker 3: on a poodle, you know, like you don't know what
Speaker 3: it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: How do you fall in your hotel room? Like what
Speaker 1: do you? What are you doing? Like like they're not
Speaker 1: even that big rooms.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was a Yankee hotel room.
Speaker 1: One more note code I senga out since the big
Speaker 1: end of the year where the shoulder injury is going
Speaker 1: to make his first rehab start on Wednesday. That's tomorrow
Speaker 1: for single a Brooklyn. He's gonna make it all right. Welsh.
Speaker 1: You know what time it is. It's time yet again.
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday.
Speaker 2: It's time for the best bets of the day with.
Speaker 1: Joey p and the Welsh. Make sure you place your
Speaker 1: bets over a bet three six five bet five bucks,
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifteen bonus bets when you use
Speaker 1: the promo. Go to leading off only at bet three
Speaker 1: six five gambling problem go one hundred gambler or one
Speaker 1: hundred bets off In Iowa, terms and conditions apply. Welsh. Uh,
Speaker 1: why don't you start with the betting today? Because I
Speaker 1: went full James Wood and it was over three.
Speaker 2: Oh, because I was three and oh yesterday because you.
Speaker 1: Were three and oh, I waszero and three. I was
Speaker 1: you know, I want to have fun. It was three
Speaker 1: games on the slate, only one at night. Really, I
Speaker 1: just wanted to have some fun. You didn't work out.
Speaker 3: I know, it was great to have fun. I want
Speaker 3: to have a little bit of fun. And I just
Speaker 3: bet the one hit for James Wood and that paid off.
Speaker 3: So yes, it was a nice clean sweep of a
Speaker 3: very short slate. I will tell you we have a
Speaker 3: lot more and a lot more enticing stuff today. So
Speaker 3: it's gonna be either a volume day and uh oh,
Speaker 3: volume days haven't done so well, or it is just
Speaker 3: gonna be honing in. So here are a couple of
Speaker 3: my favorites, and this is kind of like a ladder.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I've got a bet.
Speaker 3: I've got a two piece parlay, and then i got
Speaker 3: a three piece parlay that I'm playing around with, but
Speaker 3: you'll understand it. So number one Boston Red Sox first
Speaker 3: five innings. I love my first fives. I am going
Speaker 3: for them to be up a run. So minus point five.
Speaker 3: That's minus one twenty right now. Because I'm back in
Speaker 3: Cutter Crawford. I'm a big Cutter Crawford fan. I mentioned
Speaker 3: him in some videos recently, and his K percentage since
Speaker 3: June he's been in like the top ten and K
Speaker 3: percentage and K minus walk percentage, so his strikeouts have
Speaker 3: really taken a jump up. That is why I mean,
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you, I am taking his just
Speaker 3: individual strikeout number, but I'm putting this together for my
Speaker 3: second bet. Cutter Crawford alternate strikeouts at five paired with
Speaker 3: turreek Schoobles alternative strikeouts at five. Interesting about Schooble, he
Speaker 3: has only had less than how to say this, right,
Speaker 3: he's only once this entire season, not how five strikeouts
Speaker 3: that's a better way to put it. Every single start
Speaker 3: he has had five strikeouts or more except for one
Speaker 3: that was against Houston. This matchup, I mean, it's a
Speaker 3: fine matchup. It's a good strikeout number. He usually hits this,
Speaker 3: and then it's not crazy. We're not looking at six
Speaker 3: and a half or seven and a half. So give
Speaker 3: me Scooball and Cutter Crawford both at five paired together
Speaker 3: that I got at minus one thirty, So there's that
Speaker 3: one's juiced up.
Speaker 2: And then here was something I did the other day.
Speaker 2: I had a lot of fun with it, so I'm
Speaker 2: gonna run.
Speaker 3: It back and I hit it and this was taking
Speaker 3: three first fives and getting the plus one and a half.
Speaker 3: So just gonna pair this and slow down for a minute.
Speaker 3: This means that each team will be within one and
Speaker 3: a half runs by the end of the first five,
Speaker 3: so plus one point five on these three teams and
Speaker 3: their favorites. I'm taking the Boston Red Sox, the Baltimore
Speaker 3: Orioles and the San Diego Padres. So that is backing
Speaker 3: cutter Crawford, Rodriguez and Dylan sees that their team can
Speaker 3: be losing by one run through the first five, and
Speaker 3: I still hit this if they're winning beautiful this.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of teams. It's riskier.
Speaker 3: It's plus one eighteen. I put a little bit more
Speaker 3: on it. But again, the Boston Red Sox, the Baltimore
Speaker 3: Orioles and San Diego Padres through the first five innings
Speaker 3: plus one point five. I'm gonna see if I can
Speaker 3: run one of those back.
Speaker 2: Those are my bets. As a jet flies right.
Speaker 1: Over heard that happening there.
Speaker 3: That was a fighter jet which it was like the
Speaker 3: Angel what is it? The just flying lou Angels just
Speaker 3: going Welsh's bit.
Speaker 1: The bomber flying over Welsh's bets at the very end there.
Speaker 1: Look at that. How do you follow that? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I'll try the White Sox at Cleveland, you got
Speaker 1: FlexIt and Carrasco on the bounds. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the over and the total runs over nine, I
Speaker 1: think we can get there. Flexing Carrasco should be good
Speaker 1: for it. Theoretically, so let's go start there. This one's
Speaker 1: a bit of an upset. You're right, well shod. We
Speaker 1: talked about this earlier, Luis Hill. On paper, this should
Speaker 1: be a good situation for him tonight, but I can't
Speaker 1: get away from this number on the money line for Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Even if he'll pitches well, can they keep it close? Maybe?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Plus one seventy two. With the way
Speaker 1: he'l has pitched his last two starts, it's too tempting
Speaker 1: of a number for then. I'm not a hater. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to live in the now, and plus one seventy
Speaker 1: two is a really nice number on the money line.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that can go right and
Speaker 1: wrong in a baseball game. Even if he'll bounces back,
Speaker 1: I'm getting almost two to one on this. It's hard
Speaker 1: not to take it. So plus one seventy two. Look,
Speaker 1: Marte's up there. Eli Dola Cruz has been hot again.
Speaker 1: I like the Reds chances of going in there and
Speaker 1: either putting a hurt and on heel, or if he'll
Speaker 1: bounces back and everything's right with the world, maybe keep
Speaker 1: this game close. One bounce of a ball goes the
Speaker 1: other way. But I don't know, man, the way things
Speaker 1: are going, I can't turn away from this number. Plus
Speaker 1: one seventy two on Cincinnati the money line. Also, so
Speaker 1: speaking of the money line, Detroit with Scooba on the
Speaker 1: mound on the road against Minnesota, I think Schooble handles
Speaker 1: this business. Minus one oh eight you're getting. That's a
Speaker 1: pretty good number, almost even money on that. So that's
Speaker 1: where I'm going today. For my best bets of the day,

Speaker 1: You didn't put one in today?
Speaker 3: Well, I was working on everything else. But you want
Speaker 3: to know, it's so funny. While you were doing all
Speaker 3: the stuff, I was kind of going through and I'm like,
Speaker 3: all right, who do I wanna roll out my Homer?
Speaker 3: And then I was like, oh, I found who I
Speaker 3: want to roll Jose Ramirez. And then I look and
Speaker 3: you had stupid Jose Ramirez on the phone.
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna be so mad today if you don't
Speaker 1: hold hands with me and Jose Riz.
