Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you by Friese Picks.

Speaker 1: thing and Welsh. We got a lot to break down today,
Speaker 1: as we always do. Happy show, Hey Tony day to
Speaker 1: all of you who celebrate. And I am miserable because
Speaker 1: everything I touched turned to crap yesterday.
Speaker 2: That's right, I was just a mush.
Speaker 1: I was the absolute l of L's capital l loser yesterday.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna own it. It was a bad day.
Speaker 1: We move on from here, Welsh. I think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call it what you had last week when I was
Speaker 1: on vacation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's the cooler day. I'm all too familiar,
Speaker 3: all too familiar where everything you say turns to much
Speaker 3: wrong about everything I feel it. I totally know I mean,
Speaker 3: I was rasing you a little bit online, but it
Speaker 3: wasn't even about the daily take. It was the big
Speaker 3: take about my boy Zach Gallon, who I put in
Speaker 3: the trade video which is on Fantasy pros. Let's get
Speaker 3: those downloads up and those clicks up on it. Who
Speaker 3: was one of the highlights of that video. Who happened
Speaker 3: to be pitching yesterday, And he was pretty deep deepty
Speaker 3: good with the forty one csw and eleven strikeouts, No big.
Speaker 2: Deal, he was.
Speaker 1: And we had a great conversation yesterday on the show
Speaker 1: about Zach Gallen and trading four or trading away Zach Gallen.
Speaker 1: And I think you know that was a really interesting
Speaker 1: conversation we had yesterday. I know you did a breakdown too.
Speaker 1: That window might have closed with yesterday start how good
Speaker 1: it was. It's very possible. But he wasn't the only
Speaker 1: one who was good yesterday. Because the unstoppable Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Rays just continue to be unstoppable. They are ten and
Speaker 1: oh welsh, ten and oh unbelievable. Now thirteen wins open
Speaker 1: the season. That is the record. That is the Brewers
Speaker 1: from nineteen day. Yes, I'm old enough to remember that
Speaker 1: that was in my childhood, and it was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: That was the Dan Pleisek Teddy higueera era with Robin
Speaker 1: Yeout and Paul Molitor. It was fun team rob Deer
Speaker 1: striking out every other at bad good times. But Brandon
Speaker 1: Lowe go ahead solo Homer, Peter Fairbanks slamming the door
Speaker 1: on the Red Sox and the ninth too. So the
Speaker 1: Rays continue to take advantage of their early opening schedule.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because they were by far the third
Speaker 1: place team in terms of what Vegas looked at them.
Speaker 1: But so far, men, everything is broken right for the race.
Speaker 1: Here's the question the Welsh as they start to play
Speaker 1: the teams like the Yankees again and you know some
Speaker 1: of those upper tier teams like the Blue Jays and
Speaker 1: so on and so forth, how do you think this team,
Speaker 1: in particular, from the way their structure is going to
Speaker 1: hold up. I know low being back has been a
Speaker 1: great addition back into that lineup, along with Wander Franco
Speaker 1: hitting with a Rosa rain up.
Speaker 2: Now, all of a sudden, it seems like they have
Speaker 2: a real offense.
Speaker 1: Do you think the next five months this Rai's offense
Speaker 1: can continue to play at this very high level that
Speaker 1: they are right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think like there are what a
Speaker 3: sum is bigger than the the parts.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't even want to say it because I
Speaker 1: love a good Welshism, so I kind of want to
Speaker 1: some is better than two in the.
Speaker 2: Book, it's bad.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is like that team plays really well together,
Speaker 3: and all those pieces work kind of in junk in
Speaker 3: conjunction with each other that it's like, you know, when
Speaker 3: one kind of falls off, the other's picking up. Brandon
Speaker 3: Lao hitting was a huge critical piece. I actually think
Speaker 3: this team might consider down the road, especially with the
Speaker 3: plethora of pieces they've got in the minor league system,
Speaker 3: to make a trade to kind of bolster up. But
Speaker 3: I mean this is built around that pitching. And someone
Speaker 3: in the chat pointed out, like Tyler Glasnow is coming
Speaker 3: back as well. Jeffery Springs, Drew Rasmussen, and Sean McClanahan
Speaker 3: kind of lead the way getting glass Now back in.
Speaker 3: That's what's going to be so difficult. Got a great bullpen.
Speaker 3: A great bullpen if you think like Jason Adam and
Speaker 3: you think of Peter Fairbanks, and then you go and
Speaker 3: you put a killer four person rotation in there. You
Speaker 3: just got to get a couple more pieces. Wander hitting
Speaker 3: is the catalyst and all the other It's like, you know,
Speaker 3: the cream rises to the top analogies. I can get
Speaker 3: into the race. I'm thinking brother Tampa Bay Race. I'm contemplated,
Speaker 3: though I don't. I'm I'm a little bit worried about
Speaker 3: Mushing because I kind of want to take him today
Speaker 3: because Shane McClanahan is on the bump. That's my guy.
Speaker 2: I've been waiting.
Speaker 1: It's funny you said that because Whitlock comes back and
Speaker 1: I've been waiting to find Okay, it's gonna end soon.
Speaker 1: This is a game where they're a heavy favorite because McClanahan.
Speaker 1: There's a part of me that wanted to bet the
Speaker 1: Red Sox side of it. But I don't think it's today,
Speaker 1: But it is coming. Winter is today, the Red Sox.
Speaker 3: Winter is coming. Like for do Goo endeavors. Both have
Speaker 3: like a four hundred career record against him, which worries
Speaker 3: me a little bit, especially with any lefties that are
Speaker 3: gonna do you two lefties that have a good track
Speaker 3: record on him. Yeah, but it's not a great it's
Speaker 3: not a huge, huge like favor there if you take
Speaker 3: the run line. Here the run line, you actually get
Speaker 3: plus money on one and a half, and that's what
Speaker 3: I'm tempted about. One and a half run So if
Speaker 3: they win by two, ye plus one thirty five is
Speaker 3: kind of why I want to do it. I also
Speaker 3: don't like Garret Whitlock coming off of coming off of
Speaker 3: his rehab stents, and I think he could get beat
Speaker 3: up a little bit. But it's tenuous because we're in
Speaker 3: that territory where we're like it's gonna happen some point.
Speaker 3: Some point is not gonna happen. I don't think it's
Speaker 3: gonna be today.
Speaker 1: At Lea's gonna be today either, which why I didn't
Speaker 1: bet it. Bryce Elder was the only thing I did
Speaker 1: get right yesterday.
Speaker 2: So he was, uh, he was was.
Speaker 3: Your price Elder? That is gonna be Oh yeah, dfs.
Speaker 2: Oh the DFS play. Yeah. He was like eight K.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a great start there for him,
Speaker 1: A seven strikeout, six and a third squirrel sittings. That's
Speaker 1: what you want, hard earned victories, you know, that's what
Speaker 1: you're looking for there. But so far, twelve and a
Speaker 1: third innings, thirteen k's four walks, a point ninety seven
Speaker 1: whip I'll do. And on Sunday he faces Kansas City,
Speaker 1: so that's another good situation there for him. Gunnar Henderson,
Speaker 1: this came up in the chat here I saw this
Speaker 1: is a great question from Tim Sawyer. Tim, I'll get
Speaker 1: I bring up this question. Then I'm gonna go through
Speaker 1: some Gunner Henderson stuff. He was not in the lineup yesterday.
Speaker 1: He's hitting just a buck forty eight eight four for
Speaker 1: twenty seven, one homer, one steal through eight games.
Speaker 2: It's only eight games. But this is a great question
Speaker 2: from Tim in the chat.
Speaker 1: And again I always encourage everybody, if you get a
Speaker 1: chance ever, you're free join us live, get your questions
Speaker 1: in the chat. We literally have hundreds of people always
Speaker 1: watching live. The chat is very lively. People ask great questions.
Speaker 1: We'll make you famous, will put it on the show
Speaker 1: if you ask a good one or a stupid one.
Speaker 1: We love stupid questions too. Which third base do you
Speaker 1: see a month from now being the easier start? Josh
Speaker 1: Young from the Texas Rangers or Gunner Henderson of the Orioles.
Speaker 3: That's especially they phrased it too.
Speaker 2: That's Timmy crush this one.
Speaker 3: It's a great way to put it. I don't know
Speaker 3: how else to do this without like putting caveats to it.
Speaker 3: I guess if I'm you know what, if I'm just
Speaker 3: gonna throw it out there. I'm gonna throw it out
Speaker 3: there and say Josh Young. And this is being a
Speaker 3: little bit more of a reactionary my caveat wanted to be.
Speaker 3: If Gunner starts hitting, even just a little bit and
Speaker 3: kind of finds his rhythm, it's gonna be him because
Speaker 3: of the stolen bases, you know, the stolen based potential.
Speaker 3: Here's the problem, forty k rate. He's walking twenty two percent,
Speaker 3: but it's a forty percent k rate and expect a
Speaker 3: batting average under two hundred right now. So it's just
Speaker 3: like really difficult to kind of gauge, like where is
Speaker 3: he going to go? I think everything is too outside
Speaker 3: of Corman Carroll will never walk in the history of ever.
Speaker 3: I think everything else is still just in the way
Speaker 3: too early phase. And I don't want to be chalking
Speaker 3: off Gunner Henderson because I think he's a really good hitter.
Speaker 3: It's just those k numbers are alarming. He's already sitting
Speaker 3: and Josh Young is already putting a big power on
Speaker 3: a team that I think is going to be a
Speaker 3: playoff contender. So I guess I'm gonna say Josh Young.
Speaker 1: I don't think yeah, yeah, Look, I'm gonna say this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Gunnar Henderson. I'll take the other side
Speaker 1: of this one. I'm gonna give a little bit more
Speaker 1: time because I like what I saw at a Gunner
Speaker 1: Henderson last year, good minor league track record. Now I'm
Speaker 1: a Josh Young guy too, So it's not like in
Speaker 1: either or I like both of them. But the answer
Speaker 1: the question, I'm gonna go with the Hendersons side too.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give him a little bit more time.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Speaking of a player, We've give him a lot of
Speaker 1: time too, a lot of time all of us have
Speaker 1: given many many years.
Speaker 2: Now our lives to Jared Kelnick.
Speaker 1: Jared Kelnick in his first home run the season last
Speaker 1: night was a big home run too. Jared Kelnick looks
Speaker 1: pretty good, Welsh.
Speaker 2: Is this it?
Speaker 1: Have we finally gotten the Jared Kelnick that we were promised.
Speaker 2: All these years ago? Is it time with Jared Kelnick?
Speaker 3: I think, I think, I think you went through three
Speaker 3: different pronunciations of Jared Kellick's name in there. I was
Speaker 3: face the first one. I was like, did he say Kellennick?
Speaker 3: And then you'd said Kelnick? Perfect? And then I love
Speaker 3: it because that's pot Jared Kelnick, that's his, and there's clinic.
Speaker 3: That's the only one we didn't get well.
Speaker 2: I had a high colinic ones. It cleaned me out completely.
Speaker 2: It was excellent pitch that he could have used one
Speaker 2: of those. Let me tell you know that.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing the emptier after me with the
Speaker 1: high clinic was the was the batting average of Jared Kelnick.
Speaker 3: Jared Kelnick last couple of years. This is the version.
Speaker 3: This is like the version, But I don't think this
Speaker 3: is like the superstar version. He's just not I just
Speaker 3: don't think it's gonna ever be like the big superstar
Speaker 3: star version. But yeah, version, I mean just saying I
Speaker 3: also don't think that. But I think he could be
Speaker 3: a really good player, Like I think he made an
Speaker 3: awesome diving catch last night. So defensively, he's going to
Speaker 3: continuously get out there. The bat is starting to fly
Speaker 3: a little bit. He obviously has you know, really really
Speaker 3: big home or power, and this is one of those
Speaker 3: few instances where it's like the spring is carrying over
Speaker 3: because he did something dramatically different. I think that's the
Speaker 3: big thing. Everyone's like, oh spring, but everyone's like the
Speaker 3: spring sucks. But when someone does anything like really dramatically different.
Speaker 3: Here's a perfect example, Go Carr just did this exactly
Speaker 3: Joe Adell, Joey Dell hasn't really done anything different. Everything
Speaker 3: is the same.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be dismissive of what he's doing
Speaker 3: in the minor leagues because he had six straight games
Speaker 3: with a homer the.
Speaker 1: Striking number and I've seen him be good at the
Speaker 1: minor leagues. It's a good pitching he can he so well.
Speaker 3: So that's my point, Like, there's nothing actually changed with
Speaker 3: jo Adell. There was no like new training regimen. There
Speaker 3: wasn't really anything, and it's just great, really great results
Speaker 3: in tripa A. Jared Keelnick did have some big major
Speaker 3: changes as far as who came into his camp and
Speaker 3: the approach that he was taking on baseball, and then
Speaker 3: you're seeing those results. So like, I'm way more interested
Speaker 3: in Jared what Jared Keelnick is doing, even if it's
Speaker 3: like a smaller stint in the majors than I am
Speaker 3: Joe A Dell hitting seven homers in six games in
Speaker 3: the minors.
Speaker 2: Wonkeye Penguin broke the chat right here. I mean, this
Speaker 2: is fantastic. A high Kellennick with a good slutter equals
Speaker 2: Joe's perfectly.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to say it. That's what I I'm
Speaker 3: gonna say.
Speaker 2: Where that show? Where that show?
Speaker 1: Wankee Penguin, Congratulations, you know you full time for about
Speaker 1: twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: Good job. And there you go. And by the way,
Speaker 2: if you miss it yesterday, here it is again.
Speaker 1: Look at that. It is San Diego. And and it
Speaker 1: seems wasn't It wasn't Blake snail pitching. It was some
Speaker 1: other it was.
Speaker 3: It was like Steve Wilson or something we should be
Speaker 3: like ammercials like the Slutters. A name suffered from high Kelenick.
Speaker 1: An eighty two mile an hour. That's pretty crazy. Uh oh, fantastic.
Speaker 1: What a time to be alive. I love this show.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get on some of the injuries. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of them.
Speaker 1: Adam of all his risk fracture will not require surgery,
Speaker 1: so that means an earlier return. But Welsh's still unhappy
Speaker 1: because risk injury is bad same injury, same risk.
Speaker 2: Bad.
Speaker 3: This is about as bad as it can get. By
Speaker 3: the way, I think.
Speaker 2: It's requiring surgery would be worse.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean there might be a level or
Speaker 3: two more. But it's like also, it could have been like, oh,
Speaker 3: he's gonna get checked out. We don't know, and it
Speaker 3: could have been good and it's like, no.
Speaker 2: There's a fracture. That's being a negative Nancy today, Welsh.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with bad? I mean this is good news.
Speaker 1: I mean it's bad news that it's broken. It's good
Speaker 1: news that doesn't need surgery or pins and things. Tony
Speaker 1: Gonsolin unlikely to join the club's rotation till May now,
Speaker 1: so with the ankle injury, that's taking a little while.
Speaker 1: Kyle Wright expected to make his return today against the
Speaker 1: Red so that's exciting stuff.
Speaker 2: There. Will keep an eye on how Kyle Wright does.
Speaker 1: Starring Marte as we told you yesterday, probably wouldn't be
Speaker 1: in the Lineup's still day to day with that neck issue.
Speaker 1: Tim Anderson was removed because of some left knee soreness.
Speaker 2: So let's on that.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, way, Tim Anderson was removed from a gameway.
Speaker 3: He's not gonna play all the games in the season.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Woken up the beast.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Welsh is awake and ready to go.
Speaker 1: The Rangers put Mitch Garber of the day I L
Speaker 1: with the left knees brain.
Speaker 2: Eloy in Menez regressed.
Speaker 1: To taking batting practice on Monday, so that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: He landed on the i L last week with the
Speaker 1: low grade left hamstring strain. He could come back as
Speaker 1: early as Friday. I just hope they don't push it,
Speaker 1: because that's the last thing any of us need, because
Speaker 1: I feel like this is didn't he come back from
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury and push it and then get hurt
Speaker 1: again last year? Like I literally this was. I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm in Groundhog Day. And Hermon Marquez left with
Speaker 1: an arm injury last night too, So I don't know
Speaker 1: if we've got Have we seen an update yet this
Speaker 1: morning on that on the imaging or I haven't seen
Speaker 1: anything yet.
Speaker 3: No, I haven't seen anything. They just said like he
Speaker 3: actually said he doesn't think he's going to make his
Speaker 3: next start.
Speaker 2: Update on Tim Anderson though, just came over out two
Speaker 2: to four weeks.
Speaker 3: Oh you should have let me guess. I could have
Speaker 3: just said any any number of days and it would
Speaker 3: have looked correct. I am shocked that Tim Anderson is
Speaker 3: going to miss a month of the season. What is that?
Speaker 2: Hey, fun fact here? You know every single year this happens.
Speaker 2: It's football. It's not going somewhere else with this.
Speaker 1: You're you're right also, But whenever you go into a
Speaker 1: season going this position is really stacked.
Speaker 2: This is a really good position, right inevitably becomes the
Speaker 2: bane of your existence.
Speaker 1: That it's wrong. Like everybody went in going shortstop loaded.
Speaker 1: You don't need to take this guy. That guy. You
Speaker 1: could dig this guy later. That guy there, O'Neil Cruz
Speaker 1: out for four months, so he's basically done. Tim Anderson
Speaker 1: now out for a month. All you have Carl's Korea
Speaker 1: dealing with back issues already.
Speaker 2: Dansby's Dansby's all right, right, is he?
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think Dan has been
Speaker 3: playing super well.
Speaker 2: But he has been playing well. But I mean it's
Speaker 2: the cobs.
Speaker 3: Added to your point real quick, and then you get
Speaker 3: to do your point. He's hit, But no, Homer, he's
Speaker 3: been all right.
Speaker 1: Proceed but wander Franco has been good. I'm just saying, like,
Speaker 1: now we'll back on. It's the same thing every year.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you could wait on shore something. You
Speaker 1: know what, Take good players when good players show up.
Speaker 1: That's what the draft is for. Stop overthinking and stop
Speaker 1: working about positions. Okay, just take good players when good
Speaker 1: players there.
Speaker 3: Look at Mayor here real quick, by the way, look
Speaker 3: at Mayor pointing out, Oh, Welsh love. This is one
Speaker 3: of those hilarious things where it's like, let's make it
Speaker 3: back to Welsh. Welsh can't have a point. Welsh loves
Speaker 3: Byron Buckson, so somehow is a problem with Tim Anderson.
Speaker 3: Also have a problem with Byron Buckson. I didn't take
Speaker 3: him in the fifty Mayor. You're talking at your ass
Speaker 3: right now because because you are making it about me
Speaker 3: making a completely valid, great point, and then you're trying
Speaker 3: to turn it like, oh, well he likes another guy.
Speaker 3: You're being stupid. It's ridiculous. Yes, Byron Buckson is in
Speaker 3: guess what you guys will all do. You will dance
Speaker 3: and you will throw a party when Byron Buckson gets hurt.
Speaker 3: Guess what I'm gonna dance and throw a party when
Speaker 3: Tim Anderson gets hurt because.
Speaker 2: It's what he does too.
Speaker 3: All these talented players that can never play.
Speaker 1: Wow, you're salty today. I like a salty Welsh. Let's
Speaker 1: ask you a lot. Andrew Heaney passed uh Nolan Ryan
Speaker 1: in the record books and words that I never thought
Speaker 1: I would utter on a show ever, most consecutive strikeouts
Speaker 1: in a single.
Speaker 2: Game, So there you go. That was fun yesterday.
Speaker 1: Ryan had seven on July seventh and nineteen ninety one
Speaker 1: against the then California Angels. And here's another one. The sweeper,
Speaker 1: not the slutter, the hottest pitching baseball. And guess what,
Speaker 1: Shoho Tani is now become the King of the sweeper.
Speaker 1: So there you go, everybody. The man can do everything.
Speaker 1: He is the greatest thing ever. Also something for fun
Speaker 1: that showed up yesterday is a new celebration for the
Speaker 1: Baltimore Orioles, which if you haven't seen it already, it
Speaker 1: is the funnel.
Speaker 2: There, it is there, it is it's the funnel. And
Speaker 2: this is is it Ryan Montcastle? I believe right, because.
Speaker 3: That looks like yeah, I think that's I think yeah.
Speaker 1: So this was Mayor's home run call yesterday. We all
Speaker 1: know his undying love for Ryan Mountcastle. I believe this
Speaker 1: picture is on Mike Mayor's vision board. I'm pretty sure I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna be right next to me on his dart board. Yeah,
Speaker 3: by the way, you said counterpoint Buxton stincts. Let me
Speaker 3: ask you this, what is the better home run celebration
Speaker 3: the beer pong, the beer funnel or the samurai hat.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a water funnel. It is not a beer funnel.
Speaker 1: They're not chugging beers. I don't know why they're chugging water.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if feel about this. When
Speaker 1: I saw the samurai helmet, I kind of like that
Speaker 1: when you know.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, samurai helmet or the beer or
Speaker 3: the funnel.
Speaker 1: The water funnel is goofy, and you know somebody's gonna
Speaker 1: choke accidentally and there's gonna be a problem and something
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: But they're gonna be out there about two to four
Speaker 3: weeks every time.
Speaker 1: Every time Ryan moultcastle it's a home run. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get this picture here, Mike Maher, So there you go.
Speaker 1: I can make a lot of jokes about this picture.
Speaker 1: And this is why you have to watch the show.
Speaker 1: If you just listen, you got to watch on the
Speaker 1: YouTube channel because you're.
Speaker 2: Missing some really goo good visual humor.
Speaker 3: The lost right after Moultcastle took a slutter four hundred feet.
Speaker 1: So let's take a quick break in the action to
Speaker 1: tell you about Fanimal. I love live events, but I
Speaker 1: hate buying tickets the hidden fees they suck. It's like
Speaker 1: paying for a whole other person who's not even there
Speaker 1: to be there with you at the event, and customer
Speaker 1: is terrible, and coordinating with friends is a nightmare. But
Speaker 1: then I discovered Fanimal and Fannamal has tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball,
Speaker 1: you name it, and Major League Baseball. And plus there's
Speaker 1: no fees. The price you see is actually the price
Speaker 1: you pay.
Speaker 2: What a concept. You heard it here first.
Speaker 1: Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get
Speaker 1: MLB tickets. And we've all experienced how painful it is
Speaker 1: to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always
Speaker 1: end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing
Speaker 1: down the friends to get reimbursed, and if they flake,
Speaker 1: I'm stuck with the whole bill. But Fnimal's patentent group
Speaker 1: purchase makes it easy to split payments with your friends,
Speaker 1: so nobody's left holding the bag and you don't have
Speaker 1: to commit until your friends do, so just pick the seats,
Speaker 1: pick how many tickets you want to pay for yourself,
Speaker 1: and then send the link to your friends. And when
Speaker 1: you join your group, everyone gets stared separately and your
Speaker 1: tickets are secured, so you can stack cash by inviting
Speaker 1: friends ten bucks every time someone joins your group.
Speaker 2: Catching baby.
Speaker 1: So Phantom has amazing customer service to don't take my
Speaker 1: word for it. Check out their hundreds and hundreds of
Speaker 1: five star reviews.
Speaker 2: The next time you need.
Speaker 1: Tickets, go to fanimal dot com or download the fanimal
Speaker 1: app and use the promo code fanimal MLB. That's fanimal
Speaker 1: MLB for twenty dollars off your first purchase. Check out
Speaker 1: fanimal and experience more. And now back to the action.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some more baseball here. Three
Speaker 1: up and three down from last night. Another thing I
Speaker 1: was horrendously wrong about. I said, Max Munsey's washed. And
Speaker 1: guess what, he went out and hit two home runs yesterday,
Speaker 1: So there you go. H one of them was a
Speaker 1: grand Slam, unbelievable. Zach Gallon great seven innings, struck out eleven.
Speaker 1: As we talked about the top Alec Bohm three for
Speaker 1: five with a homer, which in that game on the
Speaker 1: flip side, I couldn't have been more wrong about Sandy
Speaker 1: alt contras. So what the hell happened yesterday? Welsh four innings,
Speaker 1: nine earned ten hits, four k's for Sandy. This is
Speaker 1: not the Sandy man that we all know and love.
Speaker 1: I know everybody gets a pass, but geez, this killed
Speaker 1: my bedding day. I thought this was a locks. Andy's
Speaker 1: lock every single week he takes the mound.
Speaker 2: This was not it. So blip on the radar or
Speaker 2: what do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a blip on the I mean, like,
Speaker 3: you know, it's almost almost like turn the question, how
Speaker 3: many of the elite guys are you actually worried about?
Speaker 3: After two or three starts? I'd even throw carbon Burns's
Speaker 3: going tonight against the Diamondbacks. There's been some moresome like
Speaker 3: vlo stuff with him, But like, are we in a
Speaker 3: level of panic? You just can't panic. It's blips. There's
Speaker 3: lots of weird stuff that's going on. You know, I
Speaker 3: had a logan web in my my trade video and
Speaker 3: you know, he gave up four. It didn't look good,
Speaker 3: but I kind of still stay the same. I'm kind
Speaker 3: of still in on it because I think you know,
Speaker 3: the strikeouts were there. He had five strikeouts or three innings.
Speaker 3: So like the panic of a Sandy alto Sandy in
Speaker 3: a trade video if we have to, if people are
Speaker 3: going to start selling off. The only problem with him
Speaker 3: has been the the like there's no elinked K numbers
Speaker 3: that follow this, so he kind of has like a smaller.
Speaker 1: That was what I was going to say too, is
Speaker 1: like the K numbers are not even Kakuchi got blown
Speaker 1: out the other day.
Speaker 2: He had six strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in that game, and even in the really amazing
Speaker 1: efficient game that al Contra had the shutout the other night,
Speaker 1: locate numbers in that one too.
Speaker 2: But again I don't I.
Speaker 1: Don't want to crush him for that because I appreciate
Speaker 1: good pitching and sometimes you don't have to strike everybody out.
Speaker 1: Mister crazy, he does itting to this Baltimore Oriials thing
Speaker 1: by ooh.
Speaker 3: The dong bomb.
Speaker 2: That's a dog bomb?
Speaker 3: Is that the name of it?
Speaker 1: Because I don't know, but mister buster, I don't know,
Speaker 1: we got it. That's that's really good, mister you in
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 3: The only other thing with Sandy I can't fathom sometimes
Speaker 3: is like you throw like a ninety one mile an
Speaker 3: hour change up and you can pump ninety eight like
Speaker 3: with an inside corner with ride. How does he not
Speaker 3: strike out ten to eleven every single game? I think
Speaker 3: he just pitches into the zone too much. He doesn't
Speaker 3: pitch outside the zone a whole lot. He's a contact
Speaker 3: pitcher and that's why.
Speaker 1: But Phillies lineup that doesn't have Harper, the Phillies line
Speaker 1: up that doesn't have Hoskins in it.
Speaker 2: So it was a little upsetting. I mean, I was
Speaker 2: legitimately annoyed.
Speaker 1: You know, I did a double take because I went
Speaker 1: to go check and see how that game was going,
Speaker 1: because I had investment in it, and I was like,
Speaker 1: that can't be nine, Like wait, wait, wait, what am I?
Speaker 2: What's going on? But it was. It was upsetting.
Speaker 1: Ronzie Contreras three innings, seven earned for him, his eras
Speaker 1: now at eight. And Dylan Coleman, what a night he
Speaker 1: had last night, six earned runs and two thirds of
Speaker 1: an inning walk four guys, Well done, mister Coleman, Well
Speaker 1: well done.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, so let's get to some prize picks here.

Speaker 1: off when you do Welsh. What do you have for
Speaker 1: prize Picks today?
Speaker 3: Well, you know'd be a fun idea too. We should
Speaker 3: do like in we should do a one month time.
Speaker 3: We should do like the home Run Leaderboard, but of
Speaker 3: five run prize picks and see who can hit the
Speaker 3: most five player prize picks in the month of whatever.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter the cash you put into it, by
Speaker 3: the way, but whoever can hit the most five player
Speaker 3: prize picks in the month of May or something that
Speaker 3: might be a little fun a home run leader board,
Speaker 3: and I mean we get maybe prize picks can give
Speaker 3: away some money to someone's account or something. I don't know,
Speaker 3: just thinking out loud here, all right, prize picks yesterday,
Speaker 3: by the way, did not hit, but boy I smashed that.
Speaker 3: Matt Strom did first anyone which on.
Speaker 1: The other side of that, Al Contra think the only
Speaker 1: the only saving grace of that misery that I was
Speaker 1: in was your Strom call, which you absolutely just nailed.
Speaker 2: Man, if you know what that kid since the Padre days,
Speaker 2: like I was like Matt Strom.
Speaker 3: G former reliever. I watched him in the first game
Speaker 3: when I hit that one. I wanted to hit that
Speaker 3: prize pick yesterday so bad just because of that. I
Speaker 3: wanted that to be a big win. Brian Reynolds sold
Speaker 3: the bag, so that didn't happen. So today I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go with Aaron Judge Fantasy score eight and a half
Speaker 3: and I've got a two strikeout one which I'm actually
Speaker 3: going to be part of my bets here. I'm not
Speaker 3: into gear at Whitlock today. I don't particularly like him
Speaker 3: to be able to stack up a bunch of strikeouts,
Speaker 3: and I'm going with Whitlock under strikeouts, and I'm going
Speaker 3: with another under strikeouts, and I'm going at Kyle Wright,
Speaker 3: it's going to be under six strikeouts. So Kyle Right,
Speaker 3: why is.
Speaker 2: That that the innings of both of them? You're just
Speaker 2: concerned to have enough pitch count to get.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean I can talk about it now
Speaker 3: because I was also going to talk about it in
Speaker 3: the bets, but I think you've got a pitchcount situation. Also,
Speaker 3: Velo was down in his starts. There has been some
Speaker 3: weird gun issues as far as like what they're able
Speaker 3: to track, but Slider was down three miles per hour
Speaker 3: in the last rehab start, almost two miles per hour
Speaker 3: on the fastball. Sinker was also a mile and a
Speaker 3: half hour down, a mile and a half per hour down.
Speaker 3: So just overall, I don't like the prospects of him
Speaker 3: being able to go deep into the game and throw
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of strikes. So I like both of
Speaker 3: those down. So Whitlock right under strikeouts Aaron Judge over
Speaker 3: Fantasy Score, that's my price pick today.
Speaker 2: I love that we have literally hundreds of people watching
Speaker 2: this show lot every day. This makes me very happy.
Speaker 2: I just want to say I appreciate all of you.
Speaker 2: This is great.
Speaker 1: We're talking baseball, hanging out, having fun, and mister Buster,
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna tell you if I heard it from you,
Speaker 1: he's giving us a disclaimer. He said, I didn't name
Speaker 1: it that, Kyle Gibson said it. Quote isn't end quote
Speaker 1: called that. They're calling it the Homer hose or something
Speaker 1: like that in Baltimore. I don't care, mister Buster. Kyle
Speaker 1: Gibson has gotten paid way too much in his career
Speaker 1: in terms of money for what he's delivered.
Speaker 2: I'm giving it to you. This is your w I
Speaker 2: don't care.
Speaker 1: Dong Bong is hilarious again, you know, Mike. There's so
Speaker 1: many jokes about Mike Mayor the dongbong and Ryan Malcastle,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna make any of them. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna say that there's lots of those jokes to be made.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 3: I want to tell you also, I have a brand
Speaker 3: new idea for something in the Fantasy pros Merch Store
Speaker 3: and it might have to do with Lord.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to my prize bigs here for
Speaker 1: any of us get shut down. Garrett Cole seven pitcher
Speaker 1: strikeouts today, I'm gonna go with the over against Cleveland
Speaker 1: on that one. He's been fantastic. Now you have a
Speaker 1: load numb here for Gordon Burns Welsh against Arizona today
Speaker 1: the five and a half. I'm going to go with
Speaker 1: the over here and hope did we get the Corbyn
Speaker 1: Burns get right start, let's go and then Boba Schette
Speaker 1: against Detroit one and a half total bases. I'm keeping
Speaker 1: it simple today because yesterday I thought I was locked in,
Speaker 1: So today I just got starting to get the narrow focus,
Speaker 1: starting to make Robert de Niro face a little bit,
Speaker 1: narrow focus, a little bit, not too much, not too much,
Speaker 1: stick to what you know. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the next thing here on the board. Here we have
Speaker 1: the MLB bets. I was just born with this my grandfather.
Speaker 1: It's so so much like Robert de Niro.
Speaker 3: It's crazy, it's so it blows my mind because like
Speaker 3: I have, I'm not an impression person, but I have
Speaker 3: like the ones that I do, I do phenomenally, Yeah
Speaker 3: you do, but your Robert de Niro is scary.
Speaker 1: It's the face I was just born with this face.
Speaker 1: So when I crumple it up and make Robert de
Speaker 1: Niro face, this is uh kind of what happened. I
Speaker 1: could do an entire episode this way. You know, it's
Speaker 1: more Robert de Niro at this point because I'm bald,
Speaker 1: like cape, fearish, scary Robert de Niro probably, but you
Speaker 1: know what again, heat not not so much heat cool
Speaker 1: looking Robert Denner, although maybe I just keep to go
Speaker 1: tea tomorrow and I wear some sunglasses and you do
Speaker 1: like cool Robert de Niro.
Speaker 3: From remember when I were sunglasses last year right around
Speaker 3: this time too. Remember I had to do the whole episode.
Speaker 2: With the what Happened you cataract?
Speaker 3: I got that.
Speaker 2: I remember super.
Speaker 3: Sick and I couldn't like that's right in my eyes,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I don't know if I can
Speaker 3: do the show. And You're like, well, just buckle up.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, alrighty, this show.
Speaker 2: I did the show when I had COVID. I had
Speaker 2: all kinds of different issues.
Speaker 1: I will if I'm not on the show because I
Speaker 1: think like I'm on vacation or I'm on the show.
Speaker 2: That's it. I'm not on the show where I have
Speaker 2: a day off because my kids have something going on.
Speaker 2: That's it. I'm on the show. I'm here.
Speaker 1: I don't care if I got a fever. I don't
Speaker 1: care if I'm sick and fluid, doesn't matter. There's yeah,
Speaker 1: the gamer show up at go time. All right, Welsh,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the bets of the day. You've already
Speaker 1: kind of touched on some of these things with Kyle Wright,
Speaker 1: so let's let's continue to push on there, and then
Speaker 1: you don't got a little money line as well for
Speaker 1: us today a little party.
Speaker 3: Yes, So I'm kind of struggling with a lot of
Speaker 3: the like straight line bets. I don't suggest you do
Speaker 3: lots of like parlays and stuff like that. The only
Speaker 3: benefit is if I hit one of them, it can
Speaker 3: kind of pay for the others I dig into sometimes.
Speaker 3: So as far as straight line goes, I do think
Speaker 3: I'm leaning a little bit towards that Tampa Bay one
Speaker 3: and a half with Shame McClanahan, which pays one thirty five.
Speaker 3: My only straight line so far. It's not a good
Speaker 3: juiced play. It's two juiced up and it's why I'm
Speaker 3: putting two units on it. And it is that Kyle
Speaker 3: Wright under and I actually get it at six and
Speaker 3: a half, so under six and a half strikeouts. I
Speaker 3: don't like Coyle Right's gonna have seven, even though it's
Speaker 3: a you know, it's a good matchup. It's Mike minus
Speaker 3: one sixty, so I put two units on it to
Speaker 3: try to get paid back. That's one of my favorites.
Speaker 3: I'm also streaming a Kyle right Under strikeout and Shae
Speaker 3: McClanahan over, which is five and a half. Sha McClanahan
Speaker 3: is like minus one seventy five solo. But I put
Speaker 3: those two together. It's my other two bets in here.
Speaker 3: I love these. I put these down last night, Toronto
Speaker 3: and Tampa Bay money line. I played both of those
Speaker 3: on the play. It's plus one twelve and this is
Speaker 3: my favorite one. A hits parlay Wander Franco and ADLEI Ritchman.
Speaker 3: Just to get one hit pays plus one ten, so
Speaker 3: I love that one.
Speaker 2: There you go, all right, don't forget everybody.
Speaker 1: We do have the betting group that's out there, bettingpros
Speaker 1: dot Com Slash Leading Off, So download the Betting Pros app,
Speaker 1: go join the group. Bettingpros dot Com Slash Leading Off.
Speaker 1: It's a really easy thing to remember, and you could

Speaker 1: picks and having fun with us and hanging out betting
Speaker 1: pros dot Com slash leading off.
Speaker 3: That's the place to do it.
Speaker 2: So go ahead and check that out out.
Speaker 3: And I would also point out if like I don't
Speaker 3: always have my stuff set, if I have another bet
Speaker 3: or two, I will put it on later. So if
Speaker 3: you care and you wanted to track sing with Joe
Speaker 3: and everything, we might have bets that come like after
Speaker 3: the show, and the only place that those are going
Speaker 3: to be visual are going to be on the Betting
Speaker 3: Pros group.
Speaker 1: So because I was so bad yesterday, and I'd been
Speaker 1: pretty good lead up until then, but I was so
Speaker 1: bad yesterday. I told my I told cousin Donnie here,
Speaker 1: a friend of the show. I was like, you should
Speaker 1: just make a bet and call today, like I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna pass it off to you and whatever it is,
Speaker 1: no matter how crazy it is, I will I will
Speaker 1: put money on it today because I just sometimes you
Speaker 1: just need to break the curse a little bit.
Speaker 2: So that's how bad it was. It was also a
Speaker 2: question I saw in the chat.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't find where it is right now,
Speaker 1: but should we run it back today with Otawi? Uh?
Speaker 2: And Trout? Trout was so bad last night? How was
Speaker 2: Trout over five with three strikeouts against Patrick Corbin? My
Speaker 2: face wanted to mind me off? What the hell was that?
Speaker 3: I had a money line play Houston and the Angels
Speaker 3: against Patrick Corbin. Joe think of me? They were up,
Speaker 3: and I mean they blew that game that killed me.
Speaker 3: That was brutal. And Trout. Trout's really been brutal on
Speaker 3: the back half of game so far this year. Just
Speaker 3: a side note, he is absolutely cheating on secondary stuff
Speaker 3: because the amount of times I seen him this year
Speaker 3: get blown away by like a ninety eight mile an
Speaker 3: hour ninety six mon our fastball is crazy. He's just
Speaker 3: looking all off speed stuff to try to cheat.
Speaker 1: Here you go, here's here's Donnie C's bet Tiger's over
Speaker 1: Jay's big upset today over Alcoa.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 3: So okay, man of.
Speaker 1: My word, We'll see how it pays off. But yeah,
Speaker 1: like that, that was the pinnacle of how bad When
Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra gets lit up for nine earned runs
Speaker 1: and Mike Trout goes over five with three k's against
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbyn. That's how you know it's just not your day,
Speaker 1: Like it's just you just go to sleep holding yourself
Speaker 1: crying in like some sort of swaddling clothes.
Speaker 2: Like that's that's what you do, all right?
Speaker 1: For me today, I got a four leg parlay ready
Speaker 1: for this look get back on track. Yankees, Garrett Cole,
Speaker 1: money Line, Houston Astros, Christian Haavier against the Pirates, money
Speaker 1: Line Toronto Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: I have in here which makes me terrified now because
Speaker 2: Donnie picked it. So now I'm going to go to
Speaker 2: the other side just to make my money back a
Speaker 2: hedge a little bit.
Speaker 1: And then the Angels with Joey Altani on the mound
Speaker 1: against the Washington Nationals. You put that all together, you
Speaker 1: get a nice plus three twenty nine over on FanDuel.
Speaker 2: Go do it.
Speaker 1: A couple of other individual things Pete Alonzo and the
Speaker 1: over today going against the lefty Ryan Weathers one and
Speaker 1: a half total bases.
Speaker 2: You can get that at bet MGM.
Speaker 1: You can also get Corbyn Burns in the five and
Speaker 1: a half, which I picked at Prize Picks. The over
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to show some faith here in Corbyn
Speaker 1: Burns Grayson Rodriguez four and a half strikeouts. I think
Speaker 1: this is a low number. It's still the juice is
Speaker 1: pretty solid here bet MGM minus one forty five. But
Speaker 1: you can probably pair it with something else.
Speaker 3: I kept staring at this one too. I kept staring
Speaker 3: at that one. It's a big one too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's get to some dfs today. Look
Speaker 1: some big arms on the mounted. It's another one of
Speaker 1: those days where a lot of number ones are pitching.
Speaker 1: You can eliminate the six o'clock games and just play
Speaker 1: the later slate and get rid of some of that.
Speaker 1: But christianavier A ten k on FanDuel Grayson Rodriguez at
Speaker 1: nine against a good matchup for Rodriguez here, I think
Speaker 1: you can give you a good return also on DK's
Speaker 1: a nice secondary pitcher option today, Shane McClanahan ten point four.
Speaker 1: Just keep riding it until it breaks, man, That's what
Speaker 1: it is. Showyotani at ten point eight stack. You can
Speaker 1: get some value with Houston here. By the way, Jordan Alvarez,
Speaker 1: my goodness, what was he fifteen rbready or something? Insurd
Speaker 1: I heard that this morning unbelievable start to the season
Speaker 1: for him, But there's value with Houston in the middle
Speaker 1: of that order and the lesser part. Also value with
Speaker 1: Baltimore today and Toronto against Detroit. Some value also Jared
Speaker 1: Kellnick two point four, k Jose Miranda two point five,
Speaker 1: and Sean Murphy, who had a big night last night
Speaker 1: finally broke out two point four, which brings us to Dada,
Speaker 1: everybody's favorite part in the show. It's the home run board.
Speaker 1: There you go, let's look at it. Boom Prime Time.
Speaker 2: Up at the top, still at six, Houston, three, one, four,
Speaker 2: at five. We got a lot of people tied at five.
Speaker 1: I'm still stuck on one, so I need to get
Speaker 1: off the schneid here, So I'm gonna go with Pete A.
Speaker 2: Lonzo off the lefty against it kind of.
Speaker 1: I'm tying everything in today, Welsh, who is your home
Speaker 1: run call for Tuesday?
Speaker 3: Taco too, I'm gonna play it in Colorado. I've been
Speaker 3: picking Goldie a whole lot that hasn't been working, so
Speaker 3: he'll probably hit one tonight. I'm gonna go Nolan Derenado,
Speaker 3: who's seen a little bit of Kyle Freeland playing together
Speaker 3: under the USA WBC little five hundred BVP record. But
Speaker 3: give me Nolan Aeronado today in Colorado.
