Speaker 1: Cease on fire, Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros. This is leading off.
Speaker 2: Brought to you by bet MGM, the King of sports books.
Speaker 2: It's me, Joey p Joe Pi's a pea with me
Speaker 2: today and every Tuesday is the one, the only, Scott Bogman,
Speaker 2: and it's you, all the peanuts and the cracker Jacks.
Speaker 1: Look at us.
Speaker 2: Over two hundred people already watching live lined up at
Speaker 2: the door. And we'll see if they all get through
Speaker 2: the velvet ropes today with their comments. And you can
Speaker 2: make those comments on our YouTube channel obviously a Fantasy
Speaker 2: Pros MLB, be a subscriber and you can comment. Also,
Speaker 2: like this video because likes are good, right Bogman? Do
Speaker 2: you like the do you like the like button? You
Speaker 2: like the heart? Like? Where to stand on all of that?
Speaker 2: Remember when Twitter used to be likes and then became hearts?
Speaker 1: Remember that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I guess I just I never really, in my brain,
Speaker 4: never really differentiated between likes and hearts. They're the same
Speaker 4: thing to me. So in our group may rooms sometimes
Speaker 4: we have shot glasses. We've got baseballs, we've gotten cats,
Speaker 4: we've got all Santa Claus hats, got all kinds of
Speaker 4: different stuff that where you can use a like, so
Speaker 4: it doesn't really make a difference to me.
Speaker 1: There you go, indifferent to emojis.
Speaker 2: Scott Bagman as always, and today we're gonna get you
Speaker 2: through all the latest and major League baseball. And certainly
Speaker 2: last night was a little quiet on the home run front.
Speaker 2: Only eight games, only eight home runs, so it was sparse.
Speaker 2: There's nothing changing with the ball, so it's fine. No,
Speaker 2: now here's the question you had. I saw in the
Speaker 2: sheet you had Goldman. Now, he did hit a home
Speaker 2: run yesterday, but was that the holdover from Friday? And
Speaker 2: it was?
Speaker 4: I mean, I totally could have cheated and taken it,
Speaker 4: but I hit a home around Friday.
Speaker 3: He hit a homer on Friday, so I'm good. I
Speaker 3: got I got. I think that's a second or third
Speaker 3: homer for me, So I'm.
Speaker 1: Except this one. It's three. So I will let you
Speaker 1: have it because it was in the sheet.
Speaker 2: So you're laziness think it might be paying off half.
Speaker 3: You know, I just get the gold Schmid up there
Speaker 3: every day, so it's fine.
Speaker 1: I think you end up with about he end up
Speaker 1: with like thirty two thirty two, Okay, that's good.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not gonna win to the contest, but it's good.
Speaker 2: By the way, we have officially uh mopped out. It
Speaker 2: is a Fernando Tatis autograph jersey we're giving away.
Speaker 1: For the grand prize winner this year Ristine.
Speaker 2: Auctions, So Fernando Tatis Junior autograph jersey. There's still time
Speaker 2: to enter the home run contest. There's plenty of time
Speaker 2: to catch up to the Niking, who I can only
Speaker 2: assume is still at the top of the board. But
Speaker 2: you can only do that over fantasypros dot Com slash chat.
Speaker 2: So join the discord and then get in that home
Speaker 2: run channel. All right, I'm gonna start the show off
Speaker 2: by taking an l I was attacking Jake Odorizi yesterday
Speaker 2: and he heard me. Apparently, I know how dare I
Speaker 2: attack the guy with a nine era, But apparently he's
Speaker 2: been hanging out with Justin Verlander at the end of
Speaker 2: the bench talking about his mentality and the mental focus
Speaker 2: about pitching. And it paid off because he was good.
Speaker 2: And uh also, Jerry Pania hit two run home run
Speaker 2: his first there, so they topped the Mariners.
Speaker 1: So Jacob Derizi kind of you know, set me on tilt.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, two doubles, three RBIs for Travis Darnault and a
Speaker 2: victory for the Braves over the Mets.
Speaker 1: Wonder Franco with the hamstring returned to the lineup yesterday,
Speaker 1: so that's good.
Speaker 2: But Dylan sees seven shutout innings woo wee eleven k's
Speaker 2: my goodness, that's a spicy meatball. What do you make
Speaker 2: of Dylan Ceese?
Speaker 1: My man? Because this guy has taking it.
Speaker 2: To a hold of the level I thought a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago he could grow into a nice pitcher.
Speaker 2: He is an ace right now and there's no arguing
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 4: I mean you could tell last year with all the strikeouts,
Speaker 4: guy looked like a stud. Now I do object wholeheartedly
Speaker 4: to his creepy mustache, but other than that, dude is
Speaker 4: absolutely on fire. He's got a good team, a good
Speaker 4: defense behind him as well. So I see this. I
Speaker 4: see this streak continuing for our boy. Dylan sees he
Speaker 4: has been outstanding and I've got him rostered in many leagues,
Speaker 4: So I like it.
Speaker 2: Yes, and unsettling mustaches are typically you know, they usually
Speaker 2: goes hand to hand. Unsettling a mustache My favorite thing
Speaker 2: is always in those eighties baseball, cars and stuff, everybody
Speaker 2: had a mustache. Everybody had a mustache in the eighties.
Speaker 2: These guys are like twenty five years old and they.
Speaker 4: Seem era appropriate the eighties mustache. But this, you know
Speaker 4: now that it's all it's ironic mustache or it's curling
Speaker 4: it up at the How big of a prep looks
Speaker 4: like just a mustache, I'd look like a total.
Speaker 1: Creep, So I know, but you know what, I kind
Speaker 1: of like beard or nasty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, next time I shave, I'll cut it down to
Speaker 4: a mustache and give you a preview.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there you go. There you go. Nice.
Speaker 2: That drives the subscriptions way up here in the YouTube channel.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to some of the injuries from yesterday.
Speaker 2: The Astros activated Josel Tuove so he served the minimum
Speaker 2: on his hamstring il Ryan Pressley begins his rehab assignment
Speaker 2: on Monday, so that's good for the Astros getting their
Speaker 2: closer back. Lou Trevino returning Tuesday today from COVID finally,
Speaker 2: But here's the question. Is he returning to the closer role?
Speaker 2: I say, no, Bogman menace. It's great, I mean great,
Speaker 2: you're You're right. I it just depends.
Speaker 4: I know that there will be probably more people in
Speaker 4: our chat here to uh, you know, listen to us
Speaker 4: and to be in Oakland to watch a game because
Speaker 4: they have like twenty two hundred people the other day.
Speaker 3: It's just getting pathetic there. Uh but uh, I I.
Speaker 4: Have rostered Luke Trevino and an Ale only, so I'm
Speaker 4: I've got my fingers crossed that Danny Jimenez didn't take
Speaker 4: that job away from him. But guy's been pitching great,
Speaker 4: so we'll have to figure out and the next time
Speaker 4: the A's go late with the lead, which could be
Speaker 4: a while, you know, we'll see.
Speaker 1: It could be, it could be.
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, man, I picked up Danny
Speaker 2: Jimenez finally about a week ago, and I you know,
Speaker 2: I'm on the other end of that spectrum hoping that
Speaker 2: this guy's pitching really well.
Speaker 1: There is no reason should give up that job. So
Speaker 1: we shall see. I've got a good one.
Speaker 4: Lose your job to injury, Joe, Come on, everybody knows that, right,
Speaker 4: Come on.
Speaker 2: Closer jobs, I mean, weo if jesse L's got some
Speaker 2: mustache conversation, her worst mustache cease or Sporer, our good
Speaker 2: friend Paul Sports.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a tough one.
Speaker 2: I'm still gonna go Dylan Cease because I love Paul,
Speaker 2: so although Paul probably want to be known as the
Speaker 2: worst one, so that's that's the only thing I can say.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm guessing Paul doesn't look as good in that
Speaker 4: South Side Jersey as Cease does, so I'm gonna go
Speaker 4: with Paul as a creepier mustache.
Speaker 2: Also, Pickles here, Cease looks better in that stash that
Speaker 2: I manage. Joey p Wood challenge accepted, Pickles challenge accepting.
Speaker 2: I think we have just like that Seinfeld episode where
Speaker 2: that started that one season where they both did Jerry
Speaker 2: and George have mustaches one day, we're gonna coordinate over
Speaker 2: the summer. Bog and I are both gonna come on
Speaker 2: with mustaches and we're gonna take a vacation from ourselves.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: I mean, I just assumed, since you're Italian, you'll have
Speaker 4: a mustache tomorrow.
Speaker 2: If you don't save tomorrow into the afternoon, it's a
Speaker 2: one o'clock shadow if you're Italian, so it's not a
Speaker 2: five o'clock shadow.
Speaker 3: It's fine.
Speaker 2: Here's one from Wonkey Penguin, Joey Pek, a girl, magnificent mustache,
Speaker 2: and immediately be a villain character in any BBC detective
Speaker 2: show wrecked.
Speaker 1: That is correct, So there you go.
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on to some other news and notes.
Speaker 2: In fact, let's do a little trivia here. I thought
Speaker 2: this was fun. Which Cy Young Award winner has struck
Speaker 2: out Mike Trout more times than any other pitcher? So
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you Peanuts and Cracker Jacks a clue
Speaker 2: in this one today's trivia. So obviously it's somebody who
Speaker 2: would face Mike Trout a lot in the last you know,
Speaker 2: ten years, and you would think it's somebody in his
Speaker 2: own division.
Speaker 1: So that is your that is your clue. He pitched
Speaker 1: almost his entire career for one team in the Al West,
Speaker 1: So who's the guy that has struck out Mike Trout
Speaker 1: more than anybody else potentially? And in the meantime, will
Speaker 1: you guys marinate on that bad boy. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the MLB home run leaders. We've got Anthony Rizzo at
Speaker 1: the top of the board at nine. CJ.
Speaker 2: Cron who's been fantastic over at eight, along with Aaron Judge,
Speaker 2: Austin Riley at seven, Jose Ramirez at seven too, So
Speaker 2: some some names you expect, certainly judge, you know, Austin Riley,
Speaker 2: Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 1: I think those are guys we all think, would you know,
Speaker 1: be strong. CJ.
Speaker 2: Krown and Orion had a couple in one game, but
Speaker 2: still CJ. Crown is the one to me that we
Speaker 2: all thought, Okay, he's going to Colorado, things will finally
Speaker 2: break out, and then it did, and that it's really
Speaker 2: carried over.
Speaker 1: I feel like CJ. Krown is almost like an underrated
Speaker 1: asset and fantasy.
Speaker 3: I think you're right.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the lineup isn't great, it doesn't
Speaker 4: look like it's going to be great for a while,
Speaker 4: but you still are in Colorado. Fifty percent of your
Speaker 4: games are played in the thin air. You know, pictures
Speaker 4: have a hard time adjusting to Colorado a lot, so
Speaker 4: you see better pitches and guys taking advantage of it.
Speaker 4: I think when I looked, I believe it's a seven
Speaker 4: to one home road split on his bombs, so not
Speaker 4: a shock, but they're playing at home today, so listen
Speaker 4: up for his name a little bit later in the show.
Speaker 2: All right, and there you go. And and yes, we
Speaker 2: will talk about Joe Ryan. I see people asking about DFS.
Speaker 1: The answer is gonna be yes.
Speaker 2: But let's talk some more about some of the more
Speaker 2: the other leaders right now in other categories, Let's talk
Speaker 2: about the stone base leaders. Julia Rodrigez might have gotten
Speaker 2: off to a slow start one home run, two thirty
Speaker 2: eight batting average strike he's got thirty one strikeouts in
Speaker 2: eighty plate appearances, but.
Speaker 1: He's still got nine stolen bases.
Speaker 2: So even though in Rohtal leagues, if he drafted Julio
Speaker 2: with high hopes and he's killed you in some categories,
Speaker 2: you thought he'd be, you know better, in the nine
Speaker 2: stolen bases have been brilliant. He also made a terrific
Speaker 2: play in the field yesterday. I feel like Julio is
Speaker 2: going to be fine. I think I've gotten past that
Speaker 2: initial first week of getting a little worried and then
Speaker 2: the second week going, oh, no, are they going to
Speaker 2: send it down. I think we're past that point now.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's getting sent down in all. I
Speaker 2: think he keeps this job for the entire year. And
Speaker 2: with the nine stolen bases, I mean, I don't like
Speaker 2: to extrapolate but it feels like thirty is well within.
Speaker 1: His grass this year if he just stays healthy.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The Walsch and I were talking about this earlier and
Speaker 4: he said, you know, obviously he follows all the minor
Speaker 4: league guys closer than anyone, and he was talking about
Speaker 4: how he did not expect this, you know, all all
Speaker 4: of these stolen bases from Julio, and he said, I
Speaker 4: would probably put him down for twenty five for the
Speaker 4: rest of the year only because he has nine already.
Speaker 4: I think the more he hits, the less he's going
Speaker 4: to be willing to steal, and the homers are going
Speaker 4: to start to come. And we know that just by
Speaker 4: watching that one, you know, compilation of all the called
Speaker 4: third strikes on him because he's a rookie, Eleven of
Speaker 4: those strikeouts were called looking and should not have been
Speaker 4: called looking, So you know, you cut those out and
Speaker 4: he's at twenty strikeouts, still not great, but much better
Speaker 4: than thirty one whatever he's at now. So I have
Speaker 4: no reservations about Julio and his success.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Ryan Eberley from The Peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
Speaker 2: He got the trivia question right. Who has struck out
Speaker 2: like Torot more than anybody. Felix Hernandez, King Felix, you
Speaker 2: want to take a interest in how many times there?
Speaker 2: Twenty seven? Twenty seven times, So King Felix once upon
Speaker 2: a time. Pretty pretty good.
Speaker 4: Dylan seasonly needs five more starts against the Angels to
Speaker 4: catch up.
Speaker 2: Let's do some more leaders here for a bit, and
Speaker 2: let's talk a little bit about the strikeouts on the
Speaker 2: other side here, let's talk about the strikeouts for the pictures.
Speaker 2: Corbyn Burds at the top of forty three, Max Schurz
Speaker 2: with forty two, Shane McClanahan coming off another good start
Speaker 2: at forty two, Kevin Gossman at forty one.
Speaker 1: So those are the guys in the forties.
Speaker 2: And then right after that you got Cease Rodan and
Speaker 2: Kyle Wright rounding out that grouping.
Speaker 3: So just like we all predicted Kyle right, just like.
Speaker 2: We all predicted Well, McClanahan, I think was one of
Speaker 2: those pictures that I think if you look at.
Speaker 1: This group, Burns and Sures.
Speaker 2: Or were two of the elite pictures that I felt
Speaker 2: really good about going into this year. And then all
Speaker 2: the guys that are kind of floating around here, Joe Musgrove,
Speaker 2: Dylan Cees, Kevin Gosman, Shane McClanahan. All of these guys
Speaker 2: were the guys we kept talking about. Build your rotation
Speaker 2: around a couple of these guys instead of one of
Speaker 2: the big dogs, and you'll probably have a more well
Speaker 2: rounded team. And so far, at least after the first
Speaker 2: month of the seasons in the books, it appears like
Speaker 2: that's exactly the strike for success so far. What are
Speaker 2: your thoughts, I mean, it's absolutely right. It's funny because
Speaker 2: in my like entry leagues and my il leagues and
Speaker 2: my home leagues and stuff, these are the pictures I have.
Speaker 2: I have CC, I have McClanahan, I picked up Kyle
Speaker 2: Wright in a couple of spots. And in my you know,
Speaker 2: major publication TGFBI, my TARF leagues and all that stuff
Speaker 2: I went for. I swung for the fences with deGrom
Speaker 2: and Chris Sale and Jack Clarity.
Speaker 3: That's my TGFBI team.
Speaker 4: Show is de Grom, Jack Clarity, Chris Sale and oh,
Speaker 4: by the way, I have Eloy, So I think I
Speaker 4: have two open bench spots. It is just pathetic what
Speaker 4: I'm doing with my TGFBI team. But for the for
Speaker 4: the rest of them. I went, you know, one higher guy,
Speaker 4: and then McClanahan sees guys of that nature. So I
Speaker 4: have a lot of Frankie Montage shares. Who's up here.
Speaker 4: We talked about Iavaldi a lot in the preseason. I've
Speaker 4: got him in a couple spots. So and I have
Speaker 4: Logan Gilbert everywhere. I think my most roster players Gilbert.
Speaker 4: So happy with how the pitching is turning out. Right now,
Speaker 4: we know it's a long season and it's obviously not
Speaker 4: gonna stay stable because it never is. It's like handling
Speaker 4: starting pitching is like handling uranium. You know, got to
Speaker 4: go on a list.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I left the I left some uranium on the counter.
Speaker 2: I gotta after send it to pa guys. Six guys
Speaker 2: that four quality starts. One person has five quality starts.
Speaker 2: You want to take a guess who that is, without looking,
Speaker 2: no cheating.
Speaker 3: Five quality starts? Is is that Logan Gilbert?
Speaker 2: No, it is not Logan Gilbert. Actually it's not even
Speaker 2: Logan web it's no one named. It's not even Logan,
Speaker 2: No Logans. Joe Wells's outstanding. I don't have any shares
Speaker 2: of must Grove because that was Welsh's guy. So he
Speaker 2: was getting him before I was in most leagues.
Speaker 4: I play in most leagues with Welsh, so I think
Speaker 4: I may have one Muskrove share across my like thirteen
Speaker 4: teams disappointed.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the stat heroes from last night. Obviously,
Speaker 2: we'll start with the pitchers and deal sees whe there's
Speaker 2: eleven K's zero walks. See that's the thing too, Like
Speaker 2: if you're gonna strike out eleven kays, I don't want
Speaker 2: eleven guys. I don't want to see five walks, the
Speaker 2: zero walks.
Speaker 4: And I know Trout was cerebral against him, but there
Speaker 4: was a great at bat where Trout uh with down
Speaker 4: oh two, worked him back to three to two, and
Speaker 4: then he's just pipe ninety eight down the middle, and
Speaker 4: Trout's just tough, you know.
Speaker 1: Just tough to catch up.
Speaker 2: Steven Matt's six score listenings for him, no walks. Four
Speaker 2: K's joke, Jacoberreici again, he always truck got three guys,
Speaker 2: So I'm not like, I'm not like saying he's back
Speaker 2: or anything like that.
Speaker 1: Christian Hobbier starts for the Astros tonight.
Speaker 2: Jaco Deerzi, you got like a reprieve Okay, you didn't
Speaker 2: get balanced in the rotation against the Mariners, and the
Speaker 2: Mariners team doesn't have a Chanigher right now, Zach Greanky,
Speaker 2: one whole strikeout.
Speaker 1: Congratulations Zach Granky. It's amazing. It's like, look good coming
Speaker 1: Jamie Moyer in his old age, right he is?
Speaker 3: He is and he does not care either.
Speaker 4: Like that's I mean, that's what annoys me about Granky
Speaker 4: but also makes me love Granky is the dude does
Speaker 4: no outside noise. It doesn't matter. It's his own world.
Speaker 4: That's all he's living in. That's all he cares about.
Speaker 4: So he looked good yesterday. He gave up the first
Speaker 4: inning bond, the Goldie and that's it. That's all he did.
Speaker 4: So my free home run, I will take three hits.
Speaker 1: By the way, in that game, he gave up one
Speaker 1: earned run, no walks. And this is the art of pitching.
Speaker 1: It's a lost art form and Zach Braanky's still doing it.
Speaker 1: Does it Does it help in fantasy? Not really.
Speaker 2: I mean a little bit in the ratios, sure, but
Speaker 2: I mean it's still a bad team.
Speaker 1: Drew Rasmussen a guy that we like it only three k's.
Speaker 2: Last night, so kind of disappointing start there. Max Fried
Speaker 2: six k's to earn six innings against the Mets. Zach Gallon,
Speaker 2: who welf did like last night he was good five
Speaker 2: k zero walks to earn Chris Bassett was good. But
Speaker 2: in the lost Chris Bassett's been outstanding. I feel like
Speaker 2: he's taken his game to a whole other level. And
Speaker 2: this is again, you know, will you hang out with
Speaker 2: great Hall of Fame pitchers like Max Scherzer or like
Speaker 2: Justin Verlander? And if you're not picking their brain constantly
Speaker 2: about pitching, like what are you doing with your life?
Speaker 1: Like don't you want to be great? H Here are
Speaker 1: the guys that actually hit the eight home runs. We
Speaker 1: could just give them to you.
Speaker 2: David Peralta one home run last se Glabor Torres, I
Speaker 2: want to pause on him.
Speaker 1: Two for four, one home run, three ribies, one run.
Speaker 1: Labor Torres is not.
Speaker 2: That far removed from an enormous season, Bob, It's only
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: He is still very young.
Speaker 2: He's one of these guys I continue to say, let's
Speaker 2: take a chance, let's take a shot on Glabor Torres.
Speaker 2: This year, people got mad because April was terrible now
Speaker 2: we're in May. It's a good game yesterday, but it's
Speaker 2: only one good game. How long of a stretch does
Speaker 2: Glabor Torres have to put together, in your opinion, to
Speaker 2: regain the confidence of fantasy managers out there.
Speaker 4: I think it's got to be a couple of months,
Speaker 4: and I don't he's not there yet, right, Like, he's
Speaker 4: not doing terrible.
Speaker 1: Months, so not weeks.
Speaker 3: So you like a three week stretch, doesn't no two months?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well look you're you know, well, he's hitting two
Speaker 4: thirty nine and he's only got three hundred.
Speaker 2: Like the Edwin James Old most of like podcast hosts today,
Speaker 2: you're just tough.
Speaker 4: I got to get through to these keids. I got
Speaker 4: to teach these kids. That Bill Belichick version is my favorite.
Speaker 4: But yeah, man, he's got it, He's got it. You're
Speaker 4: not the only smart guy. Ino Sarrus we had on
Speaker 4: our show, and he was a big Glabor turnaround guy
Speaker 4: this season too. I think I have one or two
Speaker 4: shares and I have many of Labor, But I don't
Speaker 4: think he's getting back to, you know, his outstanding year.
Speaker 3: But like you said, he's he's very very young.
Speaker 4: He's still only twenty five, so there's more than enough
Speaker 4: time for him to come back and put up these numbers.
Speaker 4: I just if you're expecting a thirty eight ninety year
Speaker 4: with ninety six runs, you know that's not what you're
Speaker 4: drafting labor tore Us for. You're gonna be happy with twenty.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what.
Speaker 2: I saw him as an opportunity because he was being underdrafted,
Speaker 2: and in the Black Book Challenge League, I went ahead
Speaker 2: and I selected him to fill in because I took tetis.
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm gonna take a shot at because
Speaker 2: there's no corners in that league, because I'm not a masochist.
Speaker 1: One catcher, no corners.
Speaker 2: Let's just play baseball and have some fun like havel
Speaker 2: rosters that we can actually, you know, enjoy life with.
Speaker 1: And I thought he was the perfect guy because like
Speaker 1: scept an.
Speaker 4: Old man, by the way, let's get left field, center field,
Speaker 4: and right field in there too.
Speaker 2: Let's put defensive to no. That's that's the one would
Speaker 2: be f r no. It's actually on the opposite. I
Speaker 2: feel like I'm I'm like, I want to do like
Speaker 2: the fan dual turbo version of fantasy baseball. I just
Speaker 2: want to make it super simple and fun again. But
Speaker 2: to me, he was like that perfect guy. Williadomas was
Speaker 2: one glabor Tours or the other. Take a shot on
Speaker 2: these guys and if you get a good couple of
Speaker 2: months from them, awesome, then you keep them and you
Speaker 2: move them to Tildy spot.
Speaker 1: You keep them on a bench, or.
Speaker 2: You trade them and if they don't work out, well
Speaker 2: then you can take You know, tatists will be back
Speaker 2: hopefully in June and and all is right with the world.
Speaker 2: That's that's what you hope for other guys last night.
Speaker 3: You want a Domas right now? Or would you want?
Speaker 2: Oh Adamas? I want Adamas anyway. Yeah, I was such
Speaker 2: a I was such a jobber for him. Man.
Speaker 1: I wanted him so bad on my teams.
Speaker 2: I think I got one share because I just couldn't
Speaker 2: too just making sure you're not I mean, well that's
Speaker 2: not the same thing, but yeah, those mutually exclusive, they
Speaker 2: are not. Travis Darnaut three for four, two doubles, three rebies.
Speaker 2: He had a great night yesterday against his old team
Speaker 2: yandid As two for five with a home run. Goldie
Speaker 2: had his two for three with a dinger. Many Margo
Speaker 2: three for four with an RBI, Austin Riley another homer
Speaker 2: for him. Marcana with a home run in one RBI,
Speaker 2: his first time ERN of the year. Shout out to Marcana.
Speaker 2: Jeremy Panya hitting two fifteen, but he does have five
Speaker 2: home runs here. Any concerns here at the batting average,
Speaker 2: I don't have any. I think Penya is just a
Speaker 2: pretty good young player.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Everything will just kind of even out over time, Like
Speaker 2: I think the batting averageill come up, the power will
Speaker 2: go down, and you'll get like a nice fifteen to
Speaker 2: eighteen home run guy and then a two sixty batting
Speaker 2: average one.
Speaker 4: Also, Yeah, the nice thing about Paanya is that he's
Speaker 4: on the astros who don't need a ton of lineup protection.
Speaker 3: So you can just put him at the end of
Speaker 3: the lineup.
Speaker 4: And I know that Bagwell wants him to lead off
Speaker 4: and all that good stuff, but you know he's going
Speaker 4: to have to prove it first, and that this is
Speaker 4: an outstanding lineup that the Ashtows have, So you can
Speaker 4: just set him at the bottom of the lineup and
Speaker 4: not really have to worry about him hitting low or whatever.
Speaker 3: Let him work through his stuff.
Speaker 4: It's not like he has to go and hit in
Speaker 4: the middle of the pirates or royals or wherever you know.
Speaker 3: So that's the good thing about him.
Speaker 4: And they do have I mean, they got Nico Goodrum,
Speaker 4: who's a vet like waiting behind him for him to
Speaker 4: have like a really horrible two week stretch or something.
Speaker 3: But I'm not too worried about Panya.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: By the way, Doctor Glenn says, a stand and deliver
Speaker 2: reference in my Baseball podcast was something I wasn't expecting.
Speaker 1: Well, why have you not been watching this show for
Speaker 1: over a year.
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: This is what we do.
Speaker 2: We make stupid references, have some fun talk little baseball,
Speaker 2: say some smart things, hopefully somewhere in between.
Speaker 3: Jordan Alvarez, Yes, Cylon, Jordan Alv's up.
Speaker 2: To seven homers now, I played with the leagues of
Speaker 2: the Doctor, believe it. Louis Robert three for four, no homer.
Speaker 2: Though for Mike Mayer so goods we keep him suppressed.
Speaker 2: Bash seven for twelve overs last three games. Let's get
Speaker 2: to the stat zero's Dalton Jeffrey six earned eleven hits
Speaker 2: A little against the Rays.
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez.
Speaker 2: Look, it wasn't a good It wasn't look Pablo Lopez
Speaker 2: hadn't given up an earned run.
Speaker 4: Okay, basically not until he faced the freight train.
Speaker 1: I know the.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: He still gave you a seven Yeah, seven walks and
Speaker 2: four and two thirds to you know, I mean, look,
Speaker 2: seven k's rather two walks and four to two thirds.
Speaker 1: You'll still take that start, even though the fourign we're bad.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Here the hitters.
Speaker 2: Mike Trout oh for four with the golden sombrero, Aaron Hicks,
Speaker 2: oh for four with the hat trick, three strikeouts, Jose
Speaker 2: Miranda's debut, oh for four with Merryfield, oh for four.
Speaker 2: All right, look yeah, wit Maryfield, look starting starting hitting
Speaker 2: a buck fifty one. The ops is a three ninety.
Speaker 2: Here's what I want you to do, Wit Murrayfield, Well.
Speaker 1: Just take a day off. Just don't come to the ballpark.
Speaker 2: Just just don't it. Just don't even show up. Give
Speaker 2: him a give him a per little reasons, I don't
Speaker 2: know whatever. It just some of the kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Clear your head, come back and play now. I am
Speaker 2: still not worried about Witt Maryfield. Jesse Winker, on the
Speaker 2: other hand, this was a guy I was the biggest
Speaker 2: red flag of going into.
Speaker 1: The Caseeasum for me, was Jesse Winker.
Speaker 2: He is now to a buck ninety with a five
Speaker 2: sixty five. Oh ps, I know it's better than wittenberry Field,
Speaker 2: but I am still more concerned about Jesse Winker because
Speaker 2: of the kind of hit or he is.
Speaker 1: He's had bad splits in the past. He didn't have
Speaker 1: a lot of power in the past.
Speaker 2: Yes, last year the power did kind of pop, but
Speaker 2: it was a good since it happened. Yeah, exactly so Wit, Marryfield,
Speaker 2: Jesse Winker. Who are you more worried about or should
Speaker 2: you be more worried about?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm more worried about Witt, but it's because
Speaker 4: I have shares some Wit. I don't have any shares
Speaker 4: of Jesse Winker. So that's just where we're at with him.
Speaker 4: But I'm I'm at this point, it's we're into May,
Speaker 4: you know, So we're starting to get worried.
Speaker 3: We're not in cut worry.
Speaker 4: I think cuts for good players have to come after
Speaker 4: six weeks, so we got a couple more weeks for
Speaker 4: that to happen here. But uh yeah, I think I'm
Speaker 4: starting to get worried about both of them. They need
Speaker 4: to turn around really quick here, especially Winker. Like wait,
Speaker 4: you give a longer leash too, because he's a higher
Speaker 4: pick and uh provides you more upside.
Speaker 3: But Winker, we're getting the cut territory for Winker.
Speaker 2: All right. I'm also not worried about how twov just
Speaker 2: came off the il, so we had to walk it over.
Speaker 2: Three buck fifty four trade me alt two V I'll
Speaker 2: take al two to shoot me out two give me.
Speaker 1: With Maryfield, give them all.
Speaker 3: I'm fine.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Humber and leader board, which I
Speaker 2: don't expect to have a lot of change.
Speaker 1: Nope, Night King of the North.
Speaker 2: Now, Night King of the North, you're officially the winner
Speaker 2: for April. Although I do see. All I do is
Speaker 2: win is now made it to double digits. We've got
Speaker 2: two people with double digits, so the Night King of
Speaker 2: the North is up there. G All I do is
Speaker 2: went up to ten calling Jordan Alvarez last night and
Speaker 2: Adelado our friend.
Speaker 1: And Tom also called Alvarez. He's up to eight.
Speaker 2: So Ni King of the North, if you're watching today,
Speaker 2: up all I did it again.

Speaker 2: cheat sheet over at betting pros dot com, which I
Speaker 2: highly recommend everybody taking a look at.
Speaker 1: It's a very useful tool, just like me, a useful tool.
Speaker 2: Taylor Ward on DK. One and a half is the
Speaker 2: number on him for total bases. You're gonna get plus
Speaker 2: one fifteen if you go the over. He's projected at
Speaker 2: two and a half. Vlad Guerrero same number, one and
Speaker 2: a half total basis against the Yankees tonight and shameson
Speaker 2: tie on. I like him and I like Springer. Both
Speaker 2: of them on DK happen to be one and a
Speaker 2: half and both are plus money. Vlad is plus one
Speaker 2: oh five Springers plus one ten good numbers on them.
Speaker 2: Juan Soto total bases over in Colorado tonight one and
Speaker 2: a half.
Speaker 1: He's projected at least two and change.
Speaker 2: You get even money on Jan Sota tonight and Carlos
Speaker 2: Rodan this is a fascinating one.
Speaker 1: It's against the.
Speaker 2: Dodgers, but he's got the highest k rate right now
Speaker 2: in baseball. So here's my question to you, Bogman. The
Speaker 2: number seven and a half on FanDuel to get the under.
Speaker 2: The juice is minus one twenty eight. But do you
Speaker 2: think he can go the over tonight at seven and
Speaker 2: a half case strikeout eight Dodgers.
Speaker 4: I mean he can, and he has the highest st
Speaker 4: strikeout rate and all that good stuff, But I'm not
Speaker 4: the number is probably too high for me. I think
Speaker 4: there are other options on this board that are probably better.
Speaker 4: I mean, Julio Urrius is only four and a half.
Speaker 4: I kind of like Joe Ryan at six and a half.
Speaker 4: You know, Alec Manoa at six and a half. These
Speaker 4: are all strong. So I don't think I would bet
Speaker 4: the over on Collas for don although he can't do it.
Speaker 4: Guy's best pitcher in the world right now, and I
Speaker 4: tell you what, as long as he's healthy, you might
Speaker 4: as well bet on him, right so, because it ain't
Speaker 4: gonna last the whole season if you're me, so I
Speaker 4: don't think this will last. I think he will not
Speaker 4: pitch all the way to the end of the year.
Speaker 4: So you know what, if you want to bet on him,
Speaker 4: I totally understand. He's been outstanding.
Speaker 1: All right, fair.
Speaker 2: Enough, I'm gonna run through some of the pitchers on
Speaker 2: the DFS S late today, and then Bogman's gonna give
Speaker 2: you some BVP. Let's get to DK. Joe Ryan's at
Speaker 2: nine point five, Alec Manoe's at nine point seven. I'd
Speaker 2: love to tan them. These two guys in here, because
Speaker 2: Alec Manoa seems to own the Yankees man and I
Speaker 2: love that about Alec Manoa. The hoss is up there.
Speaker 2: Theaster guys deserve your respect. Joe Ryan's got a great
Speaker 2: matchup against Baltimore tonight. So Ryan and Minoa is a pairing.
Speaker 2: It's expensive, but you can find some guys in there
Speaker 2: that are cheaper that you can get some love with too,
Speaker 2: and especially some of the guys in the lower tiers
Speaker 2: of some of these lineups. You can make this work
Speaker 2: and both pitchers pitch up to their ability. It's a
Speaker 2: really good night. Copec is nine to three. Brandon Woodruff
Speaker 2: is only a tornament play right now at eight point nine.
Speaker 2: If you want to take one of the aforementioned pitchers,
Speaker 2: either Alec Manoa or Joe Ryan, you compare him with
Speaker 2: Chris and Xavier at six point eight. He exceeded even
Speaker 2: my expectations in the last start.
Speaker 1: I think he could do it again.
Speaker 2: I think that Mariners team without hanneger In it's not
Speaker 2: quite the same lineup. Paul Blackburn's seven to seven. He's
Speaker 2: another secondary arm you can get no matter what Mike
Speaker 2: Mayer tells you. And then Carlos Redonna is expensive. He's
Speaker 2: ten k on dk Urius' is eight point four. This
Speaker 2: feels like a four outcome game. It's funny because I
Speaker 2: think you could go with Rodn at a tournament. I'd
Speaker 2: go with Rodonna a tournament over cash game tonight because
Speaker 2: I have the four outcomes, because I think the roster
Speaker 2: percent will be low.
Speaker 1: Because his price is eye.
Speaker 2: You can put him with Blackburn or Javier, and if
Speaker 2: both those guys hit and Rodin pitches well above board,
Speaker 2: you could really make some hay. But I still like
Speaker 2: Ryan and Minoa as the best DK pairing on FanDuel.
Speaker 2: Joe Ryan is super expensive, so is Bania ten point
Speaker 2: two and ten point four Kopec is cheaper at nine
Speaker 2: point two thousand dollars difference. Yes, please, Javier is super
Speaker 2: cheap at seven point six. You can go into that
Speaker 2: Colorado game. You can go into that Yankee Toronto game.
Speaker 2: You could do whatever you want tonight with that Rodnna
Speaker 2: is even more expensive than the other guys to eleven
Speaker 2: to one. So on FanDuel, I go all the way
Speaker 2: down to Javier Kopex, go to the middle, or I
Speaker 2: pick either Manoa or Joe Ryan out there. I don't
Speaker 2: want to go all the way to the top to Rodin.
Speaker 2: All right, the stacks of the night. I like Milwaukee
Speaker 2: at home wins blowing out there today too, Minnesota and Toronto.
Speaker 1: Those are the three offenses. I like, Bogman, You got
Speaker 1: any numbers to throw at our listeners here?
Speaker 3: Well, how about another stack?
Speaker 4: How about the Houston Astros against Chris Flexen twenty five
Speaker 4: for eighty. That's a three sixty average with two bombs
Speaker 4: and six doubles against him in eighty at bats. So
Speaker 4: I like the Astros as a stack. Jose Bray six
Speaker 4: for eleven with a bomb and two doubles for Smiley
Speaker 4: Lri Garcia four for eleven, to a bomb in a
Speaker 4: double versus Smiley Blad Junior three for nine with the
Speaker 4: double version and Tommy Edmund five for twelve in his
Speaker 4: career against Brad Keller. So those are a couple of
Speaker 4: guys with some good PBB matchups, and the entire Houston
Speaker 4: lineup is a good stack against Chris Flex and it
Speaker 4: seems now tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be super mad because I was going back
Speaker 2: and forth between two guys and Mayer took one of
Speaker 2: my two. He took Vlad, and I'm sure Lad's gonna
Speaker 2: him run tonight, I'm gonna be pissed off. I've taken
Speaker 2: one Sodo, so I need to just break the slump.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go back to my favorite player, Juan
Speaker 2: Soto to do it. Bogman, I see you're staying in
Speaker 2: Colorado for this home run call tonight as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, CJ.
Speaker 4: Cron, we just talked about the split is excellent in Colorado,
Speaker 4: and it's Eric Fetti pitching, So I think all this
Speaker 4: adds up to CJ.
Speaker 3: Cron going yard. Let's go there, you go excellent.
Speaker 2: All right, We'll be back again to do it all
Speaker 2: again tomorrow in the afternoon. Effect Mike Mayer is gonna
Speaker 2: be joining us. I believe tomorrow's oil boy so more.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna can't wait to throw some more Paul Blackburn's
Speaker 2: stats at him. But the bad news is when Vladimir
Speaker 2: Guerrero goes home run and tonight and Wan Soto goes
Speaker 2: over five in Colorado, I'm gonna be miserable.
Speaker 1: So that's worth tuning into right here. So subscribe to
