Speaker 4: Oh somebody else is a.
Speaker 3: TV celebrity Welsh? How long did you spend in hair
Speaker 3: and makeup to be on CBS the other day?
Speaker 1: Longer than I was on CBS? Yes, for sure. There
Speaker 1: you go, everybody, But you know it's classic holiday time
Speaker 1: and you got to have some backups here, and Welsh
Speaker 1: was the backup.
Speaker 3: You are not the back You were the one to
Speaker 3: one your first round picking my book, buddy. But hopefully
Speaker 3: everybody had nice July fourth. I know everybody's taking some
Speaker 3: time this weekend. If you are joining us live, welcome
Speaker 3: to the program. We got a lot to get to today.
Speaker 3: Obviously some injury news. We've got some ups and downs
Speaker 3: and a few other things. But let's start with the headlines.
Speaker 3: Zach Gallon returns against the Dodgers. Mixed bag, three runs,
Speaker 3: four innings against against the Dodgers, so it's always a
Speaker 3: trickier start for him. Any takeaway, Welsh from what you
Speaker 3: saw at Zach Gallon yesterday in his return.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well the big note from the diamondback world, but
Speaker 1: really for everybody was the ve Loo hit. He threw
Speaker 1: like I think three of the fastest ball maybe in
Speaker 1: his career he's had so far. I know it was
Speaker 1: this year. He hit ninety eight and he doesn't do that.
Speaker 1: He was up two and a half miles per hour
Speaker 1: on his fastball. On average, he's been averaging ninety three
Speaker 1: point three. He was up to ninety five point nine.
Speaker 1: That also pushed over to everything cutter mile an hour faster.
Speaker 1: His change up and his knuckle curve were up, and
Speaker 1: the slider was up almost two freaking miles per hour.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. The whiffs CSW percentage, maybe not necessarily quite.
Speaker 1: He threw way too many pitches, but a clear sign
Speaker 1: of health he was dealing with. Earlier in the season,
Speaker 1: the health wasn't there. Vello was kind of going up
Speaker 1: and down. So now that he's got that stuff back,
Speaker 1: as long as he can find that consistency. I said
Speaker 1: it somewhere, but I think Zac Gallen is a tremendous
Speaker 1: buy low right now and slight little thing I'd point out.
Speaker 1: I kind of wonder the Diamondbacks if they were to falter,
Speaker 1: and there's been some discussion. There was some writing about
Speaker 1: how the Arizona Diamondbacks are not sure if they're going
Speaker 1: to be buyers and there's always the opportunity of sellers
Speaker 1: that they're in. That the Diamondbacks were to falter even
Speaker 1: though they just had a nice little series. I think
Speaker 1: Zach Gallen could be a person that the Diamondbacks think about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I really do, because contractually he's gonna need a lot
Speaker 1: of money. I don't know if the Diamondbacks are willing
Speaker 1: to commit to it. Plus, if you got rid of him,
Speaker 1: you would have Meryl, Kelly, Edward of Rodriguez if he
Speaker 1: ever plays again, and Brandon fought at worst, and that
Speaker 1: could be something if they find themselves out completely. I
Speaker 1: do think Gallen would be someone on the move either way,
Speaker 1: though from a fantasy perspective, I'm buying Zach Gallen right now,
Speaker 1: rest to season, and I'm buying him pretty hard.
Speaker 3: That's interesting, though, Welf, because the Dodgers would not be
Speaker 3: in that mix because they're not traded them to the
Speaker 3: Dodgers in the division, I think be highly unlikely, But
Speaker 3: that's interesting from the Yankee perspective, a guy like Zach Gallen. Now,
Speaker 3: Zach Gallen would not come cheap too. That would require
Speaker 3: a substantial amount to move. Again, if I'm the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 3: I want pitching prospects back in that deal.
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't, just more and I don't know.
Speaker 3: You know, after Michael King gets traded last season, like
Speaker 3: they're not trading Heel and they're not doing that, it's
Speaker 3: really interesting to Liok. I mean, if I was the Yankees,
Speaker 3: I would trade Heel for Gallen. Because I think Gallen
Speaker 3: is a guy that's already proven he can do it,
Speaker 3: and what next year? What are you going to get
Speaker 3: out of heel one hundred and fifty innings? Maybe Gallen's
Speaker 3: a guy that's been there, done that, and has done
Speaker 3: it in the postseason already. If I'm the Yankees, I
Speaker 3: make that trade. I don't know if the Yankees will
Speaker 3: in reality, though, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well it's interesting, is this spurn from uh. I was
Speaker 1: on CBS yesterday and I was we were talking about
Speaker 1: the Yankees, and we were talking about the Orioles, and
Speaker 1: I started to think about just the landscape and this
Speaker 1: article had been in my head from Azy Central, where
Speaker 1: Mike Hazen would the Diamondbacks was saying like, we don't
Speaker 1: know what we are right now. We're gonna know, but
Speaker 1: if we are too far out, we're not gonna make that.
Speaker 1: Chase Gallen, the contract is going to be so much,
Speaker 1: and I forgive me. I think he has a year
Speaker 1: after this. I think that'll Like I just I could
Speaker 1: envision the Diamondbacks making that move and a team like
Speaker 1: let's say you focus on the Yankees, Clark Schmidt, Will Warren,
Speaker 1: Chase Hampton. They've got pitching prospects. Anyone who's in the
Speaker 1: buying market that has pitching I agree with you. I
Speaker 1: think that's where the Diamondbacks would go. Not saying they'll
Speaker 1: do it. They just played a hyper competitive, good series
Speaker 1: against the Dodgers, but if there is faltering over the
Speaker 1: next ten days, I think that could be a surprise
Speaker 1: name that could jump up in the market. And if
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks knew, they couldn't trade him.
Speaker 3: So he's this year, Next year, he has a whole
Speaker 3: year control at arbitration eligibility hit twenty nine, and then
Speaker 3: he'll be thirty in twenty twenty six, which is UFA.
Speaker 3: So he signed through the twenty twenty sixth season and
Speaker 3: then he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Speaker 1: So I mean, that is a lot of control. And
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day they might
Speaker 1: not do that, but it just it's again it's been in.
Speaker 1: If they are sellers.
Speaker 3: This season in a Pennant race, if you're the Yankees,
Speaker 3: it's two more years. I don't know, man, that's really
Speaker 3: interesting to think.
Speaker 1: You have to how it'd be the house though for
Speaker 1: a guy like that, if they if they were too
Speaker 1: But yeah, we're saying this after they just.
Speaker 4: Like they showed the World Series last year too, and.
Speaker 1: Also they just like beat up on the Dodgers a little.
Speaker 3: Bit, did they beat up? They beat up on the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: And also Davis and delas Angeles is beating up on
Speaker 3: every pitcher hecas And by the way, I had it later.
Speaker 4: In the show.
Speaker 3: But since we're talking about now has over four yesterday,
Speaker 3: another banner day for you are is. By the way,
Speaker 3: Brandon had something to say about your CBS appearance. I
Speaker 3: heard they tried Puppa Joe, but at first he was booked,
Speaker 3: so unfortunately Papa Joe was not available for CBS.
Speaker 4: He was on Imagine, he was on ABC.
Speaker 3: Let's get to more headlines. Gunnar Henders and three for
Speaker 3: five with a two run homer. Good day for the Orioles,
Speaker 3: who also had Corbyn Burns go out there and strike
Speaker 3: out six, but they came up short at the end
Speaker 3: of the day. So good performances for these two guys,
Speaker 3: but not enough there. Castillo starts today, By the way,
Speaker 3: a lot of eyes will be on him for the Mariners.
Speaker 3: Nick Pavetta, good day for him, struck out ten, seven
Speaker 3: scoreless innings, but again another no decision there against the Marlins.
Speaker 3: Then you get no decision against the Marlins.
Speaker 4: Will never know.
Speaker 3: The Yankees, though, continue to have struggles in the rotation.
Speaker 3: Marcus Stroman five runs in five innings, the Reds sweep
Speaker 3: the Yankees. The team era over the last thirty days
Speaker 3: and the month of June five point five six heading
Speaker 3: into July fourth after yesterday, so Welsh, the Yankees rotation
Speaker 3: has problems, and they've always felt to me like a
Speaker 3: little bit of a Stars and Scrubs sort of situation,
Speaker 3: Like if you're putting together and it's like a it's
Speaker 3: a mean thing to say, but if you're putting together
Speaker 3: one of those classic salary cap teams, you know, stars
Speaker 3: and Scrubs is a great way to go. The Yankees
Speaker 3: kind of feel like that, but when the stars don't perform,
Speaker 3: there's not enough depth to get it done. It kind
Speaker 3: of like feels like where the Yankees are right now
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of. I think they're also in a big funk.
Speaker 1: And this is what I talked about yesterday, because here's
Speaker 1: one thing, like everyone's like, should we be worried to
Speaker 1: we were? Obviously what just happened was brutal dude. Not
Speaker 1: only they've lost fourteen of their last nineteen, it's the
Speaker 1: first time the Reds have like ever like swept them
Speaker 1: in like thirty forty years whatever, fifty years. I think
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 4: Six, that was the World Series.
Speaker 3: By the way, Yeah, they have no SERI was that
Speaker 3: was the World Series where they because because it's Johnny
Speaker 3: Bench and that was before interly play everybody, that's how long, agoes.
Speaker 1: They haven't won a series for a month, and there
Speaker 1: there's been such losers. They lost the national anthem standoff
Speaker 1: even yesterday too. Did you see that Graham ash crowd.
Speaker 4: I was having cocktails and grilling yesterday two Yankees.
Speaker 1: When the national anthem was done. It was the stand
Speaker 1: where everyone keeps standing there. They lost that. Graham Ashcraft
Speaker 1: beat them there. But my take on it is that
Speaker 1: I actually think it's just they need the slumpbuster right
Speaker 1: now because if you go back, if you look at them,
Speaker 1: they're still top five. I think it's like third in
Speaker 1: the league in scoring. Their era is still in the
Speaker 1: top ten in baseball. On the year, they've got the
Speaker 1: third highest run differential in the AL and the fifth
Speaker 1: in baseball, So they're scoring a crap load of runs still,
Speaker 1: and they've got the best record on the road, which
Speaker 1: is crazy. So it's like they've got a lot of positives.
Speaker 1: They're in a massively crazy funk where their pitchers aren't
Speaker 1: going five, which is brutal. Their offense it's still putting
Speaker 1: up some runs, but I mean, clearly it's Heel, it's Stroman.
Speaker 1: These guys are not getting it done. I think it
Speaker 1: is a turnaround. But back to what you said, the
Speaker 1: thing that holds them back, I think is hamstrung by
Speaker 1: that money. They don't seem to be willing to take
Speaker 1: on any money like in years past. They don't seem
Speaker 1: to have flexibility and wanting to move prospects because of
Speaker 1: that money. And it just I don't think the dynamic
Speaker 1: of what they have is great right now. But I
Speaker 1: also don't think the world is falling. They still have
Speaker 1: the wild card, they are still one of the dominant teams.
Speaker 1: They just they need a change. And I and that's
Speaker 1: the thing with the money that they've got spent. When
Speaker 1: you need that slump busting change, you like bench, this
Speaker 1: guy's going down, We're gonna change. They can't do any
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 3: They've got all these either day's got hurt. So it's
Speaker 3: like they could do that from within because everyone makes.
Speaker 1: Million dollars or two dollars, and it's just like what
Speaker 1: they don't have anything they can flip around and change.
Speaker 1: And I mean that Trent Grisham play was a prime
Speaker 1: example yesterday too, where boop bop right to center kind
Speaker 1: of plays around with it lazy, they turn into a double.
Speaker 1: It's that type of lazy crap they need to adjust to.
Speaker 4: It's a tough situation right now.
Speaker 3: But if you are going to slump, this is the
Speaker 3: time of year to do it. July is when you
Speaker 3: want to do it. Going the All Star break, this
Speaker 3: is when you struggle. The last thing you want to
Speaker 3: do a struggle in September.
Speaker 4: So if you're getting your struggles out now, that's fine.
Speaker 3: But the Yankees need the All Star break maybe more
Speaker 3: than any other contending team, and that's including the Phillies,
Speaker 3: who have had a bunch of injuries too, which we'll
Speaker 3: get to some of the news on that later in
Speaker 3: the show. Stephen Kwan, by the way, leading the league
Speaker 3: in batting average three for four with a homer.
Speaker 4: You know, a couple of years ago, Stephen Kwan burst onto.
Speaker 3: The scene, and he was kind of maligned I think
Speaker 3: unfairly by the fantasy baseball community at large because he.
Speaker 4: Lacked a lot of power.
Speaker 3: But in this era where we are desperate for contact,
Speaker 3: desperate for batting average, he gives you speed. He is
Speaker 3: put in the ball in play in points leagues. You
Speaker 3: love him, Stephen Kwan. I just want to give him
Speaker 3: some love. I just want to give Stephen Kwan some
Speaker 3: love here on the show because that dude is crushing
Speaker 3: it and I was and I had him the year
Speaker 3: he came up, and I felt like he was being
Speaker 3: maligned and I am not happy about it.
Speaker 1: Were you trying to say Kwan's and his home run era?
Speaker 3: Maybe perhaps you know we used to have bad blood,
Speaker 3: no doubt anymore. We almost like did a harmony there
Speaker 3: for a second one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did, Kyle. I'm with you. Home Ballpark, though,
Speaker 1: has been a big help. Just want to point that out. Uh,
Speaker 1: he definitely has had some home runs fly out of
Speaker 1: they've made We've talked about it. They made that adjustment
Speaker 1: to the right field and that's where he hits him.
Speaker 1: He's got five homers at home so far, all pull side,
Speaker 1: so that has been a benefit to him, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just profile is phenomenal.
Speaker 4: One dude, I know he's got it. Look at eight
Speaker 4: home runs.
Speaker 3: The Powers developed a little bit, but in this era
Speaker 3: where everybody's swinging a miss and he missed some time
Speaker 3: with injury and fifty nine games he has fifty runs scored.
Speaker 4: Like, that's a dude.
Speaker 3: That is You want to look at why Cleveland is
Speaker 3: is where they are right now. It's guys like Stephen
Speaker 3: Kwan as much as his guys like Cozy Rimroz. I
Speaker 3: just want to give that dude some love here on
Speaker 3: the program today, Kyle Tucker justin Verlander. Neither we're gonna
Speaker 3: be ready toil after the All Star break, which isn't
Speaker 3: great for Houston, but again, treading water right now is
Speaker 3: the thing to do, uh for fun. Bobby Miller not
Speaker 3: going to start on Sunday against the Brewers. They said
Speaker 3: it's not injury related, so all we can do is
Speaker 3: believe them. It's fun because it's like, well this is fun.
Speaker 3: Here's a nice thing. We thought we were getting another
Speaker 3: star from him this week.
Speaker 4: We're not.
Speaker 3: But he's okay. But he's gonna pitch on Tuesday. Color
Speaker 3: me skeptical. I mentioned Suarez already that was on the
Speaker 3: docket here. But Mike Trout has begun running on a
Speaker 3: treadmill and hitting off a tee. So there you go, everybody.
Speaker 3: So you could do the same thing that a seven
Speaker 3: year old can do right now running on the treadmill,
Speaker 3: but with supervision. Did you say seven of year old?
Speaker 1: You see that stat? Did you see that stat?
Speaker 4: I did that.
Speaker 3: He hasn't played a fourth of July since twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: Mike Mayer found that on the Twitter mission.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Ryan Spader had put that out. He has not played
Speaker 1: a fourth or July license two thoy nineteen is crazy.
Speaker 3: It is, well, I mean it's a little less crazy
Speaker 3: because twenty twenty was the COVID year, so everything was
Speaker 3: you know, they weren't playing.
Speaker 4: But are you sure were they weren't back by July?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I think they might have been back by July.
Speaker 4: Were they?
Speaker 3: I thought they didn't play until I thought it was
Speaker 3: August September. I thought it was a two month season.
Speaker 1: How about Dames?
Speaker 4: Did they play in COVID year?
Speaker 1: It was like fifty six or something like that.
Speaker 3: Maybe right, maybe it was Peters and Cracker Jacks. Let
Speaker 3: us know in the chat, when did baseball come back
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty? Somebody go to the Google machine and
Speaker 3: figure that out. In the meantime, we'll have to figure
Speaker 3: this one out. David Festa, that so great in his
Speaker 3: two starts. Another failure of a prospect. Twelve runs, sixteen hits,
Speaker 3: only eight strike counts and ten innings. So he'll get
Speaker 3: another shot at some point. But David Festa, it was
Speaker 3: worth a shot.
Speaker 4: Welsh.
Speaker 3: Yet again, the prospects continue to come up and slap
Speaker 3: us in the face, which is what they've done all season.
Speaker 1: By the way, July twenty third, so you were right.
Speaker 1: That was Jpach just put that in the chest, So July,
Speaker 1: thank you too.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: Still still there are four of those five years he
Speaker 1: had not played as crazy, Yeah, Festa packing his bags.
Speaker 1: Pitching is really really tough. You've got to hit your
Speaker 1: spots and stuff just wasn't there, and he got banged around.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was so good in that first time
Speaker 1: through against the Diamondbacks and then he got hit up
Speaker 1: and it's kind of continued. Can't screw around. That's the
Speaker 1: other this other kind of weird space that we're into
Speaker 1: is like you were saying with the Yankees, like, hey,
Speaker 1: if you're going to struggle, this is a time. But
Speaker 1: there's also quite a few teams like you can't mess around.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of tea.
Speaker 4: Right now. Losing Bryce Lewis.
Speaker 3: I already put it in the show for Sunday on
Speaker 3: Sports Grid on Sunday Morning show. To me, Byron bucks
Speaker 3: is a huge cell high right now because it's not coincidental.
Speaker 3: If Byron bucks In's hot streak came when Royce Lewis
Speaker 3: came back into the lineup, a little line of protection
Speaker 3: goes a long way, and now all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: you're taking him out of that lineup. I'm worried about that,
Speaker 3: and I don't know when Royce Lewis is gonna be back,
Speaker 3: Like I am skeptical that.
Speaker 4: It's going to be quick.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you benefit when you have a guy
Speaker 1: like Jose Miranda is in there and can have a
Speaker 1: five hit day and he can you know, have that
Speaker 1: replacement stuff like that. I'm with all of that. That
Speaker 1: The thing that's crazy I just keep looking at is like,
Speaker 1: you know, the Orioles, they've got flexibility. I think the
Speaker 1: Yankees have some flexibility, but like like I said, the Mariners,
Speaker 1: the Twins, you can't mess around, you can't screw around.
Speaker 1: And these are the teams that I think should be
Speaker 1: out there being hyper aggressive. Beat the other big hardcore
Speaker 1: you know, the Yankees and even the Orioles. Beat these
Speaker 1: guys to the punch in the trade deadline. Because the
Speaker 1: Twins have assets. They just brought brooks Lee up. That's
Speaker 1: a prime example. These guys that have good minor league
Speaker 1: systems go out and start making those moves. Another thing
Speaker 1: I I was talking about with the Al East. The
Speaker 1: Ale East, by the way, if you look over at
Speaker 1: Fangrafts minor league rankings, they have four of the top
Speaker 1: six highest ranked minor leagues four four of the teams Tampa, Boston,
Speaker 1: Baltimore and Yankees. That means they have got bullets in
Speaker 1: that prospect trading gun. So teams like the Mariners and
Speaker 1: teams like the Twins should go out and try to
Speaker 1: get these done before those teams start getting involved. Twins,
Speaker 1: they just can't screw around. The Twins can't screw around, Mariners,
Speaker 1: can't screw around, Go make moves. I don't think they
Speaker 1: should give up.
Speaker 3: Just because of the Mariners. The love of God, when
Speaker 3: are they gonna get another bad in that lineup? Ugh,
Speaker 3: I can't even I can't even three up and three
Speaker 3: down Christian Walker, two more homers. I love Christian Walker
Speaker 3: as a season long guy.
Speaker 4: I always feel like you look up.
Speaker 3: At the end of the year, you're happy with your
Speaker 3: Christian Walker investment. But there's some peaks and valleys in
Speaker 3: head to heads with Christian Walkers that are really, really tough.
Speaker 4: But that's the thing.
Speaker 3: You look at him, and you look at the numbers
Speaker 3: the year, you know they're gonna be there, but the
Speaker 3: ride is very frustrating.
Speaker 4: And that's all.
Speaker 1: The guy only played against the Dodgers in LA. It
Speaker 1: would be the be the greatest player of all time.
Speaker 1: He was the worst player of all time in the
Speaker 1: playoffs and it really hurt the Diamondbacks. But you know,
Speaker 1: to your point, career high guy. Yeah, career high barrel percentage,
Speaker 1: career high hard hit numbers. Right now, expected batting average
Speaker 1: is also the highest in five years. He's just on
Speaker 1: a tear, but he's gonna come back down just a
Speaker 1: tiny bit. But it's a good point. It's kind of
Speaker 1: like Goldie over the last couple of years, not a
Speaker 1: great like dynasty type of guy, but you want him.
Speaker 1: But now Goldie has been struggling the last two Walker's
Speaker 1: kind of taking over that spot. He's just a you're
Speaker 1: gonna get a hundred RBI and you're gonna get thirty
Speaker 1: plus homers and deal with.
Speaker 3: You're just gonna get There could be two months where
Speaker 3: it's like one home run in eight RBI and yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: That's what it is.
Speaker 3: And buy him every time he's cold, because you know
Speaker 3: the hot streak's coming. Bobby Witt also go three four
Speaker 3: with a double homer and two rubies. Ian happed four
Speaker 3: for four. How about that and a pair of three
Speaker 3: run bombs for him as the Cubs beat up on
Speaker 3: the Phillies ten to two. Yesterday, three down our streamer
Speaker 3: Landon Neck was not good four and a third innings
Speaker 3: lost to the d Backs.
Speaker 4: Your d Backs.
Speaker 3: Zach Efflin again another bad star for him, five earned
Speaker 3: runs and five innings. Uh and then kent to My
Speaker 3: Aida was lit up for nine runs and three and
Speaker 3: two thirds against his old team, the Twins.
Speaker 4: Kent to My Aida. Let's get through some injuries.
Speaker 3: Robbie Ray three runs over three innings in a minor
Speaker 3: league rehab start will make another one next week.
Speaker 4: Max Munsey dealing.
Speaker 3: With the oblique still Welsh. I got a bunch of
Speaker 3: Dodger notes here for the injuries and Max Munsey still
Speaker 3: with this oblique? What the hell's happened here? And and
Speaker 3: if so, oh, are we talking with an issue where
Speaker 3: they should have done surgery because it's been months now,
Speaker 3: and that is absurd At this point, it seems like
Speaker 3: there's a bigger issue going on, a bigger tear or
Speaker 3: some sort of tissue problem going on there. I can't
Speaker 3: believe it's almost the All Star break and we still
Speaker 3: don't have Munzie back.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm kind of surprised too, but you know,
Speaker 1: saying it a million times, like we have obliques have
Speaker 1: been up on the rise of obliques affected by swings.
Speaker 1: He's got a pretty big, violent, fast, aggressive swing that
Speaker 1: if that oblique is not completely set, it's kind of
Speaker 1: unlike some others. So this is really unfortunate. And I
Speaker 1: will say though, I mean, the Dodgers they've got, you know,
Speaker 1: some of those guys in the system that they can
Speaker 1: work with, but this is probably gonna be one of
Speaker 1: those things that stalls them out from wanting to be Oh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Max back from making any type of
Speaker 1: aggressive move, so they just got to keep rolling. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean fantasy owner should be concerned about this with
Speaker 1: Max because also it seems like it's a very easy
Speaker 1: thing to kind of reaggravate if it's not healing great
Speaker 1: early on. So this is I've always been kind of
Speaker 1: the Max Munsey defender. I'm pretty your hands off at
Speaker 1: this point about like stashing for Max Muntsy.
Speaker 3: Rest the season, all right, let's continue on with more
Speaker 3: Dodger injuries. Clayton Kershaw through a bullpen session.
Speaker 4: With no incident.
Speaker 3: We'll see how he bounces back because he had shut
Speaker 3: down with the shoulder. Speaking of shoulders and Dodgers, Yoshinobu
Speaker 3: Yemmu two. By the way, I've seen Jimmy glick around
Speaker 3: more now, said I told you that.
Speaker 1: Was myself, so we have I that's so weird. I
Speaker 1: saw one that made it was with Ricky Gervais, and
Speaker 1: I saw that one was laughing. I need to rewatch.
Speaker 4: But they just did a recent one with Bill Hayter.
Speaker 3: I guess he had taken over for Jimmy Kndler or something,
Speaker 3: and he Martin shut was like a guest host, and
Speaker 3: he had been doing some Jimmy Glick interviews and he
Speaker 3: did one with Sean Hayes that he did one with
Speaker 3: Bill Hayter, which was.
Speaker 1: Bill Hayterer is one of my favorite people on the.
Speaker 4: I'll Send You the Real with Bill Hayter.
Speaker 3: That one was so funny and he so what so,
Speaker 3: I see, even though you're famous, you don't really take
Speaker 3: very good care of yourself into your appear, which is refreshing.
Speaker 4: He just starts eating donuts and shoving them in his mouth.
Speaker 3: He keeps talking and he's trying to get barely understand
Speaker 3: always saying, I feel.
Speaker 1: Like you could be like a fantasy Jim would.
Speaker 4: Really I would love to do that interview.
Speaker 3: Guys, Rushi you Rice. So I heard in the off
Speaker 3: season you opened up a driving school for for youth.
Speaker 4: How did that go?
Speaker 3: I want to do I want to do that kind
Speaker 3: of I think that'd be just completely take the piss
Speaker 3: out of the athletes, like, just completely do that they want.
Speaker 4: The thing is they won't sit and find it amusing.
Speaker 3: They'll get mad about it, you know, or they won't
Speaker 3: realize I'm in a giant fat suit.
Speaker 1: They'll think, can we get do we have it in
Speaker 1: the budget to get a giant fat suit for you?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: But if there's one person made for that version of
Speaker 3: a show, it's this guy. I could do that show
Speaker 3: all day improv.
Speaker 4: Just make it fun of the athletes. I mean, get
Speaker 4: me on, get me in.
Speaker 3: Front of Antonio Brown for that interview. As a character
Speaker 3: like that, that would be view as a click for
Speaker 3: hour for days.
Speaker 1: And I'd like to see walking around a baseball field,
Speaker 1: like a minor league field, as if it's a fat
Speaker 1: Jiminy click walker. That would be great.
Speaker 3: So a minor leaguer, just tell me, what's what's it
Speaker 3: like eating.
Speaker 4: Chipotle seven days a week? What's that like for you?
Speaker 4: Is it in the stipend? Do you do you have
Speaker 4: enough stipend for for guacamole? Or do you pay out
Speaker 4: of that? You're your BoatUS? Joey Click joe Andy click
Speaker 4: here you go.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm a moto anyway, could begin playing catch
Speaker 3: apparently next week we'll see Yemy Garcia is starting his
Speaker 3: rehab assignment this weekend, so Chad Green could be on
Speaker 3: borrow time.
Speaker 4: The Phillies.
Speaker 3: A lot of good notes here, Bryce Harper, J. T
Speaker 3: Rol Muto both running at seventy five percent. I mean
Speaker 3: my guess is post All Star Game, maybe Bryce Harper
Speaker 3: will make an appearance as a d H.
Speaker 4: We'll figure out how that goes.
Speaker 3: Schwarber could be back on Tuesday, though, apparently with the groin,
Speaker 3: so that's good. Xander Bogarts remember him. He's going on
Speaker 3: a rehab assignment this weekend. That's exciting and could I
Speaker 3: Senga had six strikeouts and two and two thirds perfect
Speaker 3: innings on Wednesday in a minor league rehabits. I'm in
Speaker 3: Hya Brooklyn and he's gonna make another start in Syracuse
Speaker 3: this coming week callede I Singa and Kenemaieta in the
Speaker 3: same show.
Speaker 4: Plan are you still with us?
Speaker 1: We're still Oh, I'm I got it? I'm good there.
Speaker 1: Make sure isn't the beat so no that you're hitting
Speaker 1: the beat?
Speaker 3: Get hitting all the beats. It's Friday, and you know
Speaker 3: what we'd like to do around these parts. When it's Friday,
Speaker 3: It's time to place the best Bets of the Day
Speaker 3: with Joey P and the Welsh. This is the NPR
Speaker 3: edition of Bets of the Day with JOEYP and the Welsh.
Speaker 3: Hopefully every Tenny had a really nice July fourth, and
Speaker 3: of course it was a tremendous July fourth, Welsh, I
Speaker 3: really enjoyed myself. Can I see your Schwellen box. Also,
Speaker 3: don't forget place your bets over with bet three six
Speaker 3: five bet five bucks again one hundred and fiftyen bonus
Speaker 3: bets when you use the promo code leading off only
Speaker 3: at bet three six five. And don't forget if you
Speaker 3: have a gambling problem called one hundred gambler or one
Speaker 3: eight hundred bets off in Iowa, terms and conditions.
Speaker 4: Apply, Welsh.
Speaker 3: I'm going to the Dodgers for my first two bets,
Speaker 3: very glass now centric here against the Brewers offense. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go Dodgers on the run line minus one and
Speaker 3: a half at plus money plus one fifteen. Let's go
Speaker 3: with glass Now on the hill for the Dodgers. I'm
Speaker 3: also gonna take the over on the strikeouts at seven
Speaker 3: and a half at almost even money minus one oh two.
Speaker 3: It's a really good number there. And then for the
Speaker 3: last bet here for today, I'm gonna go with Cole
Speaker 3: Reagans against the Colorado Rockies, a team that strikes out
Speaker 3: a lot. I think you can get over the seven
Speaker 3: and a half and get me to eight at minus
Speaker 3: one ten, it's walking the line. It's Colorado. It's a
Speaker 3: little dangerous, but danger is my middle name Welsh after all,
Speaker 3: So there you go. So give me two Dodger bets today.
Speaker 3: The run line for the Dodgers minus one and a half.
Speaker 3: Glass now Overcas Reagan's Overcas Welsh.
Speaker 4: What are you going with today?
Speaker 1: But I think I saw a stat I like the
Speaker 1: glassnow one glass now is tied with Garrett Crochet for
Speaker 1: this season the most double digit strikeout games on the year.
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna play that, that so.
Speaker 3: Cars has more on the year, unbelievably somehow crazy times.
Speaker 1: I've been pretty hot and hopefully I can continue with that.
Speaker 1: Fridays have always been a nemesis of mine. But if
Speaker 1: you go and look at bettingpros dot com slash Welsh,
Speaker 1: I get a six day fire streek going on and
Speaker 1: a nice little fourteen unit up. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: we're gonna hopefully not ruin that, which I did do.
Speaker 1: I tweeted out, I want of the worst days, like
Speaker 1: ten days ago, one of the worst single days, and
Speaker 1: I have just been building back over the last week
Speaker 1: and it's done really well, so hopefully I can stick
Speaker 1: back with it. Here are some plays that I like.
Speaker 1: Baltimore first five, give me the run line through the
Speaker 1: first five, so up by one run through the first
Speaker 1: five innings's minus one ten. They're a little bit dicey
Speaker 1: about it because Albert Swarez is pitching, but against the A's,
Speaker 1: So against the A's, Baltimore to be up by a run,
Speaker 1: I like it. The money line wasn't in play, but
Speaker 1: Baltimore is always a great bet. Then I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to a no run first inning a little. This is
Speaker 1: going to be soon here but away for me to
Speaker 1: back some Paul Skins, Pittsburgh and the Mets no run
Speaker 1: first inning. It is a bit juiced up minus one forty,
Speaker 1: but didn't want to play any of the other's. The
Speaker 1: only other exciting one if you wanted to play it.
Speaker 1: There's a plus money play for the Colorado one, but
Speaker 1: that just it feels so dangerous.
Speaker 4: I think I love that, don't love that one?
Speaker 1: Love cal Free lind is on there, so that's why.
Speaker 1: But that's why it's plus money. This is not This
Speaker 1: is minus one forty. Pittsburgh, Severino and Paul Skeans no run,
Speaker 1: and then I've had some decent luck with this. This
Speaker 1: is my first five plus one and a half parlay,
Speaker 1: so I'm taking three teams to be plus one and
Speaker 1: a half runs through the first five innings. Today. It
Speaker 1: is Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and the Chicago White Sox. So I'm
Speaker 1: backing Baltimore because I've got them on the first five,
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Paul Skins, and then Chicago because the matchup works
Speaker 1: and it's Drew Thorpe on the mound and Drew Thorpe
Speaker 1: has been really solid that pays plus one nine. Baltimore, Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: Chicago all to be plus one and a half runs
Speaker 1: through the first five. Those are the bets trying to
Speaker 1: stay hot. Bettingpros dot Com slash Welsh.
