Speaker 3: every single Monday through Friday noon Eastern time.
Speaker 2: Let's get to the baseball.
Speaker 3: And I'm mad Welsh because I was going back and
Speaker 3: forth yesterday morning. I had Santander and I had Sodo,
Speaker 3: and I had Sodo, and I took him out and
Speaker 3: I put Santander and then I thought about it again,
Speaker 3: and I said, no, just leave it alone. And I
Speaker 3: should have had soda because he had two home runs
Speaker 3: yesterday and I would be very close to the board
Speaker 3: going into the weekend. So bummer. Uh, just wanted to
Speaker 3: vent about that. I mean, people are complaining that Juan
Speaker 3: Soto somehow is not living up to these expectations, which
Speaker 3: is just hilarious to me. Wan Soto is still have
Speaker 3: an OBP that's close to four hundred.
Speaker 2: I just don't understand.
Speaker 5: I think it's true.
Speaker 4: I think that's true, but it's because the expectations are. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's he's sky high. Does that mean he's going to
Speaker 4: be a disappointment. It's been one month, everybody relaxed. But
Speaker 4: he's hitting two fifty and he got a gajillion dollars,
Speaker 4: so I think it's fair to say he's not living
Speaker 4: up to expectation.
Speaker 3: But to nive homers, fourteen rubies, two steals, and eight
Speaker 3: twenty two, well, well he had.
Speaker 4: Three homers before yesterday. Though before yesterday, let's point that out.
Speaker 4: There's a little bit of a disappointment. But it was
Speaker 4: all the all the anticipation in the world was with him.
Speaker 4: The expectations are higher on him than almost any other
Speaker 4: player in baseball, so I think that's relatively fair. But
Speaker 4: he's heating up, and that's why you don't, you know,
Speaker 4: knock him too far down.
Speaker 5: I just did my redraft.
Speaker 4: I'm messing with my redraft rankings, and I actually find
Speaker 4: it really tough with him as far as like the
Speaker 4: redraft outfield ranks go, because you know, sky high. But
Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker's been amazing, Tatis has been amazing, Corman, Carrol higher,
Speaker 4: I moved them all above Soto, but he's still top five.
Speaker 3: Okay, Like I said, nobody can live up to that contract.
Speaker 3: It's absurd, it's ridiculous. It's I mean, all he has
Speaker 3: to do is just be wan total, just play. That's
Speaker 3: all it's got to happen.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 3: We do have some Mike Trout updates too, that just
Speaker 3: came across a little while ago. I will share them
Speaker 3: with you just a moment. I want to get to
Speaker 3: Vlad Guerrero Junior. Another go ahead home run for him,
Speaker 3: three run dinger in the eighth. Blue Jays get the
Speaker 3: victory four to two over the Red Sox. Paul Skeins
Speaker 3: wasn't great yesterday. No, the start before fantastic against the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Five innings, three runs. I think this is just these
Speaker 3: human two strikeouts. That was the big bummer against the Cubs.
Speaker 3: Any takeaways or anything you just think it's bad, start,
Speaker 3: shake it off or any problems you saw yesterday from Skins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was watching this one. He definitely he definitely
Speaker 4: wasn't himself. Fifty two fastball percentage, sweeper splitter where I mean,
Speaker 4: this is like the Zach Gallon thing I've been focused on.
Speaker 4: You don't throw enough strikes. He's different schemes because you've
Speaker 4: got these monster, big pitches. But it's like, if you
Speaker 4: don't throw enough strikes, people are not gonna swing at
Speaker 4: They're not gonna try to like push through anything. It's
Speaker 4: like you can just sit on, let's say a fastball
Speaker 4: if all the pitches are not going for strikes and
Speaker 4: it's just you sit on a fastball and you get
Speaker 4: it in somewhere in the zone. He wasn't in the
Speaker 4: zone in this one, twenty five percent with rate probably
Speaker 4: one of the lowest we've seen. He had one whiff
Speaker 4: on his fastball and his called strike and whift percentage
Speaker 4: was twenty six percent.
Speaker 5: Super mem Yore.
Speaker 4: They got to him quite early, and just you know,
Speaker 4: I don't think there's anything else to take away outside
Speaker 4: of like he is a bit human. Velo was down
Speaker 4: a tiny bit little tick like a half mile per hour.
Speaker 5: But he's just not invincible, I think is the big key.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get a question here from Red Sox fan.
Speaker 2: I need pitching.
Speaker 3: Do I give up Devs for Shota Biby Myers or
Speaker 3: try to push for Crochet. Well, you're not getting Crochet
Speaker 3: for devor so unless you're pushing Juan Sota into.
Speaker 2: That mix instead. Let's see Shota for Devers. I would
Speaker 2: do that. I don't love Shota's deeper stuns, but I
Speaker 2: would do that.
Speaker 5: It's only one I would really do.
Speaker 2: Like.
Speaker 5: I like Meyer.
Speaker 4: Biby's struggling right now, but I neither one of those
Speaker 4: guys I think are worth the push, unless you know
Speaker 4: you've been like Joe and you're just like this is
Speaker 4: bad and I'm out on devors.
Speaker 5: I would I would say it's Shota.
Speaker 4: Or not do that trade, or you know, go and try,
Speaker 4: go and try for Crochet if you can.
Speaker 3: Lee's got a question here too, or Milver's statement, you
Speaker 3: guys should get the Luca door mask ready for Sinco Demio.
Speaker 3: So that's gonna be on Monday, So I have to
Speaker 3: right shake that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 2: Monday is Sinco Demio. So I've got mine.
Speaker 3: It's back there, that's right here. You have to bring
Speaker 3: that back. I have to do a little Sinko demiyo
Speaker 3: here with the Joey Cunnoli.
Speaker 5: Little sink Stinko Stinko Sinco Stinko.
Speaker 2: We can only hope that we can get one of those.
Speaker 3: We can only hope. Speaking of Stinko, let's talk about
Speaker 3: Mike Trout. He is gonna go on the IL with
Speaker 3: a bone bruise.
Speaker 2: In his surgically repaired left knee.
Speaker 3: And that brings us to today's Microsoft Chasing Challengers segment,
Speaker 3: because just like the athletes who push boundaries and redefine
Speaker 3: what's possible, business decision makers today are turning challenges into opportunities,
Speaker 3: and Microsoft meets you or you are with tools and
Speaker 3: guidance to help you make an impact with safe and
Speaker 3: secure AI solutions. So whatever challenges you're facing, Microsoft empowers
Speaker 3: you with the expertise to say, bring it on. And
Speaker 3: in this segment, we're gonna talk about the challenges facing
Speaker 3: anybody that's ross during Mike Trout. I know nobody wanted
Speaker 3: to hear it two weeks ago, but I asked the
Speaker 3: question out loud several times. Is this the time to
Speaker 3: get out from Mike Trout? And it looks like two
Speaker 3: years in a row. When I asked the question, the
Speaker 3: answer was yes.
Speaker 2: And this pains me. Seople think I take joy in this,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: I hate that I have this ability to sense the
Speaker 3: reality of things and look at the downside of things
Speaker 3: far often more than not.
Speaker 2: And Mike Trout is a Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3: Mike Trout, to this peak, is one of the best
Speaker 3: baseball players I think any of us have ever seen.
Speaker 3: But we're in a spot now from a fantasy investment standpoint,
Speaker 3: Even though you got him cheaper than you ever have before,
Speaker 3: he's still a liability hitting under two hundred. Yeah, there's
Speaker 3: some power, but his inability to stay on the field
Speaker 3: is absolutely crushing and it sucks.
Speaker 2: It's terrible, it's frustrating.
Speaker 3: I don't have the answer for it, except maybe when
Speaker 3: it comes off the il if he has another good stretch,
Speaker 3: you take your second shot and you trade him off
Speaker 3: of that because you missed window number one? Do you
Speaker 3: get a window number two?
Speaker 2: Maybe? I hope so. But that is this week's Chasing challenges.

Speaker 3: steps and have new ideas to help drive your business.

Speaker 2: To learn more. So, Welsh, I'll pose this question to you.
Speaker 3: If you get a second chance to deal Mike Trout
Speaker 3: by the end of May, are you taking it?
Speaker 5: Maybe?
Speaker 4: Not looking forward to this today because getting the I
Speaker 4: told you so, Joe Probably.
Speaker 2: My wife for Joe stradamis yeah, well.
Speaker 4: The least like version of Joe that I know, which
Speaker 4: is saying one of my best friends, Yeah, one of
Speaker 4: my best friends, the least like version, because here's where
Speaker 4: I disagree. There hasn't been a selling point. You keep
Speaker 4: talking about this. There has not been a selling point.
Speaker 4: He hasn't hit over two hundred. Yes, he's hit some homers,
Speaker 4: but it's like the selling point of Eohanio Suarez.
Speaker 5: There isn't a second.
Speaker 3: We had two almost three homers on that Saturday night
Speaker 3: and then Sunday was back at its smacking balls over
Speaker 3: place that was you could feel the surge of oh
Speaker 3: my god, here we go, let's get on the trout train.
Speaker 3: I think that was it, and that's when I came
Speaker 3: in Monday, I said, maybe it's time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I still I just don't think it's there. Based
Speaker 4: on the cost equity of like where you ended up
Speaker 4: getting him to the injury, things are still okay.
Speaker 5: This isn't the back.
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, the surgically like prepared knees and stuff like that
Speaker 4: has a concern. They're pretty minimal about this. They're like,
Speaker 4: they think this is going to be low bone bruises
Speaker 4: are scary. But my problem would have been if this
Speaker 4: was something in like the back, a degenerative issue that
Speaker 4: was going to carry over. But if they're saying it's
Speaker 4: not too crazy, Okay, so let's take that out. It's
Speaker 4: definitely frustrating that he's injured. But the cost was built
Speaker 4: in Mike when you drafted Mike Trout. It doesn't matter
Speaker 4: if you drafted him in third round or the tenth
Speaker 4: round or the fifteenth round, no matter what you've done,
Speaker 4: the cost should have been built in that he would
Speaker 4: miss time. So if you drafted him without thinking he
Speaker 4: was and hit an eyel at some point, you're a
Speaker 4: silly goose. So this is one of those situations. Now,
Speaker 4: if he comes back and he gets, you know, back
Speaker 4: into like that contact based mic truck, he had an
Speaker 4: expected batting average of almost two fifty this season, not
Speaker 4: still not great, but about eighty points higher than or
Speaker 4: seventy points higher than he was hitting right now. If
Speaker 4: you get back to that and you want to get
Speaker 4: out from under it, because you know he could hit
Speaker 4: a bat bag too hard and he could get hurt.
Speaker 5: Like that's the time to do it. But this was
Speaker 5: built in.
Speaker 4: He was gonna miss time no matter what. It's like
Speaker 4: a Jacob Jacob Degronk goes on the iel. I don't
Speaker 4: want to hear anybody being like, oh I told you so,
Speaker 4: duh he's not going to pitch the whole season, so
Speaker 4: wait till he gets back and bounces.
Speaker 2: So let's take twenty overall.
Speaker 5: Let's say I mean I didn't do that start. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I didn't know, but.
Speaker 2: In a lot of people's list, that's where he was.
Speaker 2: That's why it's just madness for me.
Speaker 3: Look, I what businessman, Well, if you know me, anybody
Speaker 3: in their place right the right price?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm listening. I thought the.
Speaker 3: Price was intriguing this year on trout for the first
Speaker 3: time in a long time, and even still I got
Speaker 3: zero shares. A good question here from Game Over Jackson
Speaker 3: Merril when he returns to Garrett Crochet ten team Murdo.
Speaker 2: Who'd rather have? What side of that deal?
Speaker 5: I think Crochet.
Speaker 4: I had Crochet preseason right there, I'd probably go with him.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's also maybe like, what's your need? You know,
Speaker 4: if you if you want the like twenty twenty outfielder
Speaker 4: with a good average Merrill, if you need the offense,
Speaker 4: if you need the pitching, clearly Crochet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Here's another one from JB and who wins this trade?
Speaker 3: I get Jordon and Yanna here and send Edmund and Contreras.
Speaker 3: Uh you win when you get Jordon. That's I mean,
Speaker 3: this is you're not a struggle for Edmund.
Speaker 4: I don't care, no, no, no, no, I agree, I agree.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to do any of that. Like it
Speaker 4: is clearly your Alvarez. But the reason that it's coming
Speaker 4: up is because and he's hitting two nineteen. He expected
Speaker 4: his way lower. Underlying profile is just kind of like
Speaker 4: under where he's been. This is a knee injury worries.
Speaker 4: But like Edmund and William Contreras, is a laughable return
Speaker 4: for a guy like Jordan Alvarez who struggled for one month.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's one from Cookie Jackson Holliday. Droppable at this
Speaker 3: point depends on what's on the waiver wire. But yeah,
Speaker 3: especially in shallow leagues one hundred percent, and how long
Speaker 3: you're giving Kurts or we giving Kurts more more time.
Speaker 3: I'm giving him another two to three weeks. Welsh, what's
Speaker 3: your patient's level there? I mean, you called him up.
Speaker 3: I don't think the athleticians is gonna send him right
Speaker 3: back down.
Speaker 2: I think that would be kind of stupid.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You also, you guys spent equity on getting him and
Speaker 4: picking him up, so it's like, should you be done
Speaker 4: after like a week or two? I would give him.
Speaker 4: I mean, to be honest with you should probably give
Speaker 4: him to May. If you don't want to start him,
Speaker 4: don't start him. I got some situations where I'm not
Speaker 4: putting him in the starting lineup right now to get
Speaker 4: figured out, but at least two.
Speaker 5: More weeks at least.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't know if Jackson Holiday is dropabile,
Speaker 4: drop in like ten team leagues. He is, but I'm
Speaker 4: still not trying to do it anything higher.
Speaker 2: That's fair, that's fair. More news.
Speaker 3: The Welsh was Welsh or Thomas Shelby Miller perfect ninth.
Speaker 3: See you get things right on the show too. I
Speaker 3: give you credit when you get things right.
Speaker 2: It's funny. Great.
Speaker 3: When you say I always pop the wash, I'm like,
Speaker 3: look at Shelby Miller, look out good. I'm right about
Speaker 3: selling Trout two weeks ago. I'm the villain.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, I'm a bad guy.
Speaker 2: I'm the villain. I'm Joe.
Speaker 3: Every time I'm mad about something, nobody's happy.
Speaker 2: I'm ecstatic.
Speaker 4: I give you tons of credit. That one that's a
Speaker 4: specific one, that's a very specific one.
Speaker 2: That I don't so it hurts you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's also annoying.
Speaker 2: It's just business. It's just business.
Speaker 5: Well, Aaron Judge the other day, you're doing fine, You're doing.
Speaker 2: Fine, Miller. What's the value on the waiver wire of
Speaker 2: Shelby Miller right now?
Speaker 5: I think it's it's pretty good.
Speaker 4: I was actually doing a little livestream myself yesterday and
Speaker 4: I was taking a look and I was like, you know,
Speaker 4: let's take a look at the order of what they
Speaker 4: did the day before with the Diamondbacks, and they had
Speaker 4: a you know, full healthy roster.
Speaker 5: And they went Ginkle, they went Shelby, and then they
Speaker 5: went Justin Martinez.
Speaker 4: So I kind of speculated midway through that Diamondbacks game,
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna see Shelby. He's had a great
Speaker 4: fastball this year. He's been kind. He's had one blip,
Speaker 4: but he's been kind of unhittable. Ginkle's coming back from
Speaker 4: an injury. Let's see what goes on now. To be fair,
Speaker 4: Ginkle came in a high leverage situation. He was facing Lindor,
Speaker 4: he was facing Toto, and well, he gave up a
Speaker 4: bomb to Soto. So he gave up a bomb to Soto,
Speaker 4: got through those guys almost blew it all. After that,
Speaker 4: he looked, well, he got out of it, but he
Speaker 4: put those guys on second and third and then he
Speaker 4: got out of the inning. That was great, and Shelby
Speaker 4: came in and cleaned that bad boy up. So I
Speaker 4: think whatever it is, it's for a month at least.
Speaker 4: I think Justin Martinez is going to be out for
Speaker 4: a month. I personally think it's going to be Shelby
Speaker 4: the way through, but there's a possibility that Ginkle is
Speaker 4: their fireman and could get a couple of those safe situations,
Speaker 4: so act accordingly. I do think he's going to be
Speaker 4: more the primary guy. I don't think it's bad to
Speaker 4: have speculate it on Ginkle. I don't think yesterday told
Speaker 4: us everything. But I sure do think that the are
Speaker 4: going to go to Shelby in this next outing. So
Speaker 4: you know, what do you spend I don't know. You know,
Speaker 4: it's kind of like Luke.
Speaker 2: Weavers, and depending on your need, I think that's.
Speaker 5: That's like a Luke Weaver slash cade Smith. What you
Speaker 5: were doing with.
Speaker 2: That should do?
Speaker 3: I would put over him if it was priority waivers
Speaker 3: for sure, because you know the Anks already like him
Speaker 3: in that role. By the way, A put a poll
Speaker 3: up there, seventy thirty. Time to sell Mike Trout is
Speaker 3: the yes, it is time. So maybe you get a
Speaker 3: second change.
Speaker 5: Why would you sell him when he's hitting under two
Speaker 5: hundred And.
Speaker 2: I'm saying the second time when he comes back.
Speaker 3: Because as you said, not how he phrased it, And
Speaker 3: I think the phrasing is when you get in the
Speaker 3: next opportunity to get out, you don't miss this second time.
Speaker 4: I think if that's how we phrased it, then that's fine.
Speaker 4: If we just said, should we sell my tut Trout, now,
Speaker 4: that's silly.
Speaker 2: LuSE arrows. By the way, question, Yeah, that's what it
Speaker 2: was right there.
Speaker 5: Time to sell right now. I'm sorry. I didn't mean takkob,
Speaker 5: but he just phrased it time to sell Trout.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, But I gave the caveat if you get
Speaker 3: a second chance. I think, like Peters and Crackers, Shacks
Speaker 3: are very bright. You know you gotta give them credit,
Speaker 3: even Uncle baby Billy despite all his Bible bonking that
Speaker 3: he does. So Vester Shelby, I just want to get
Speaker 3: this question answered for loose arrows.
Speaker 5: Shelby, Okay, for me.
Speaker 2: See how easy that one? All right?
Speaker 3: Also in the bad news depart a lot of bad news.
Speaker 3: Don't worry, We've got some fun stuff on the show today.
Speaker 3: But Jake Berger sent down the triple A. He's at
Speaker 3: the buck ninety with a two thirty one OBP, a
Speaker 3: three thirty slugging, I mean, just awful. Thirty two strikeouts,
Speaker 3: just three walks in thirty games. Wash, what happened to
Speaker 3: Jake Berger?
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is wels Elle for sure. Excoose me.
Speaker 4: I thought we were going to bounce back. I still
Speaker 4: stupidly do think we are going to get back to it.
Speaker 4: But this is a bad sign.
Speaker 5: His strikeout rate is up.
Speaker 4: Ironically, though, you look across the board, if you're trying
Speaker 4: to like peace smell, you know who he is as
Speaker 4: an underlying hitter.
Speaker 5: It's kind of the same.
Speaker 4: You know, he's barreling, he's hitting the ball hard, he
Speaker 4: is striking out, and he's making like a little bit
Speaker 4: less worse contact. But that's feels like he could bounce
Speaker 4: back against fastballs. He's hitting one twenty five but an
Speaker 4: expected two thirty three. And he had, you know, at
Speaker 4: least in the first couple of weeks when I was
Speaker 4: really active about buying him. Give one of the lowest
Speaker 4: Babittson baseball. It's still low at two thirty nine, but
Speaker 4: it's really materialized a lot better. But yeah, this is
Speaker 4: an l it is it's a total l on Burger
Speaker 4: because they're gonna let him go get right, he's gonna
Speaker 4: come back down.
Speaker 5: Maybe they're gonna mess with swings and stuff when he comes.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you right now, when he comes back up,
Speaker 4: I am picking him back up because I think we
Speaker 4: can get back to that version.
Speaker 5: But he is a massive cut right now.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be one of the most drop I can
Speaker 2: guarantee you.
Speaker 3: So if you are a deeper league and someone drops him,
Speaker 3: I'm with well to pick him up for two bucks
Speaker 3: and see what happens, because I'm sure he'll figure out
Speaker 3: whatever mechanically is wrong. Something is wrong, very wrong here.
Speaker 3: I mean, Jake Berger is a streaky guy. He is
Speaker 3: part of strikeouts, but he's a very powerful hitter. He
Speaker 3: was really good with the White Sox. Marlin's like, this
Speaker 3: is an opportunity here to buy on for nothing, So
Speaker 3: I would do it. Uh, if you have been with
Speaker 3: us since the beginning, if you're an og Peanuts and
Speaker 3: cracker Jack's member. Then this bit of news here is
Speaker 3: gonna really hit home for you, and you're gonna get
Speaker 3: this joke.
Speaker 2: The Tigers designated Kent to Maida for assignment. That's kent
Speaker 2: to Maeta.
Speaker 4: Welsh is if you signed with the Mets, pretty great.
Speaker 2: Kent to Maida. Now you say Kaguchi kent to Maida.
Speaker 5: Speaking of that jersey I got someday. That is sad.
Speaker 5: That's very said Paul, for a beloved character on the show.
Speaker 3: You can try it all right. Let's get to the
Speaker 3: three up and three down. Louis Robert drove it four runs.
Speaker 3: Somebody's getting hot, stole a base. Let's go, is that gallon?
Speaker 3: You got the good gallon yesterday?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 3: For to win over the Mets, they're eight strikeouts for
Speaker 3: Gallon that one and say is a Zuki not one
Speaker 3: but two homers?
Speaker 2: They are gonna win over the Pirates. A big day
Speaker 2: from sea the downs.
Speaker 3: Craig Yoho gave up five runs, walked four, only got
Speaker 3: three outs there.
Speaker 2: Walk Yeah, he walked the blank.
Speaker 3: Indeed, Shane bos was over three on bets yesterday. It's
Speaker 3: brtal Shane Bose. What happened seven runs nine to his
Speaker 3: five and two thirds against the Royals. A team that
Speaker 3: can't get out of their own way to score runs.
Speaker 3: What in the world.
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, it's very funny. So while I
Speaker 4: was doing the stream, I was looking at his stuff
Speaker 4: and I got this in vision of Shane Boz being
Speaker 4: just like Zach Gallen. The only difference is Shane boss
Speaker 4: is a good fastball. Zach Allen does not have a
Speaker 4: good fastball. But what's been the issue with Zach Allen
Speaker 4: all year. If he's not commanding the fastball, he can't
Speaker 4: get the knuckle curve and the change up to do
Speaker 4: the stuff. What happened with Shane Boz he did not
Speaker 4: throw for strikes. The fastball and the knuckle curve in
Speaker 4: change up which he both throws were not effective and
Speaker 4: he was super super ineffective. He had command issues. There's
Speaker 4: been some commandy issue games that are out there. He's
Speaker 4: got a much better fastball, probably frankly, even though Gallen
Speaker 4: was good in this last start for Boz on the
Speaker 4: big strike out side, but you know, he's got a
Speaker 4: little bit of Zach Gallon in him where there might
Speaker 4: be consistencies if the fastball isn't going for strikes. He's
Speaker 4: just not getting to those other and Gallon does a
Speaker 4: better job, at least in the past of being able
Speaker 4: to throw those secondaries for strikes.
Speaker 5: Boz needs to learn to do that. But he just
Speaker 5: it wasn't there.
Speaker 4: And it kind of shows you that I got a
Speaker 4: lot of crap from some people about not having Shane
Speaker 4: boss Hire. My Dynasty ranks and he should be high.
Speaker 4: But it's like just because of like four starts doesn't
Speaker 4: make him infallible.
Speaker 3: It goes back to last year. They were very good.
Speaker 3: I saw the tracks on his starts. I think it
Speaker 3: was the last twelve about I think like a week
Speaker 3: or two ago when I was putting together some stats
Speaker 3: for the TV show on Sunday on Sports Cared, and
Speaker 3: I it was very impressive. Like you go back, I
Speaker 3: think over the twelve starts and he was just brilliant.
Speaker 3: You know, for the most parts, it's really solid quality
Speaker 3: star machine.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: So look, bad outings from him yesterday, bad ads from schemes.
Speaker 3: We hate that one. More down on the day and
Speaker 3: we'll get to some more questions. William Contreras over four
Speaker 3: snapped the nine game hitting streak here's a question from
Speaker 3: Michael front of the show.
Speaker 2: Bucks In or Luis Robert. It's Louis Robert for me,
Speaker 2: and it ain't close.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Buxton is actually surprisingly the counting stats
Speaker 4: like you go, look, you're like, whoa six homers and
Speaker 4: seven stolen bases, batting average is still struggling.
Speaker 5: That's kind of Luise Robert s.
Speaker 4: But Robert is kind of coming out of some of
Speaker 4: the bad He is loud counting stats. I mean, there's
Speaker 4: an injury history, but it's not as big as Buckston's.
Speaker 4: And we assume a trade is going to be happening
Speaker 4: in the near future. So it's it's Robert for sure, all.
Speaker 3: Right, little rookie, lookie time, Bubba Chandler. One run, five innings,
Speaker 3: nine strikeouts in triple A.
Speaker 2: What are we waiting for? Welsh? It's got to be
Speaker 2: this week, right, it has to be this week.
Speaker 4: I personally believe the next start is in the majors.
Speaker 4: They've said nothing to so you know, I could easily
Speaker 4: be wrong about this. I guess that would line up
Speaker 4: to like Tuesday. I think we get an announcement this
Speaker 4: weekend that he's going to make a start on Tuesday. Tuesday, Wednesday,
Speaker 4: whatever it is, they'll make a little bit of a
Speaker 4: to do about it, but give us a little bit
Speaker 4: of a heads up.
Speaker 5: I could be wrong. I think there was some discourse out.
Speaker 4: There about how the pirates had brought up I think
Speaker 4: it was Jared Jones or Schemes whatever around mid May.
Speaker 4: So mid May is that number they like to do.
Speaker 4: So it might be a tad bit early. But I
Speaker 4: don't know what you're waisting your bullets for. He was
Speaker 4: great again, he's hitting a hundred. He's throwing all of
Speaker 4: his pitches for strikes now, so get him in there,
Speaker 4: pick him up. I think it's this next one. They
Speaker 4: might push us one more.
Speaker 5: But I can't be a.
Speaker 2: Five inning picture in the major leagues.
Speaker 3: We know this, Like, you know, don't expect him to
Speaker 3: go out there and you know, throw complete game shot
Speaker 3: outs anytime soon or anything like that.
Speaker 2: He will be limited.
Speaker 5: He throws a lot of pictures because he's a strikeout
Speaker 5: guy too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, And that's the thing. It's a he's a
Speaker 2: five inning pitcher.
Speaker 3: Understand that and realize that maybe just maybe is peripherals
Speaker 3: the whip in the ra because of maybe some inefficiencies there.
Speaker 2: It might be a little artificially.
Speaker 5: High, but thank you, Jared Jones.
Speaker 3: You're getting in for strikeouts. Yeah, you're getting in for strikeouts. Well,
Speaker 3: Jared Jones was pretty efficient last April May. I actually
Speaker 3: seventh some of those starts, I.
Speaker 4: Know, But I think I think Bubba Chandler could come
Speaker 4: in and be more efficient than because Jared Jones is
Speaker 4: a big, primary two pitch pitcher. Bubba's got four that
Speaker 4: he can go to, and he's got one of the.
Speaker 5: Best fastballs out there.
Speaker 4: So I actually think I'm gonna be surprised if Bubba
Speaker 4: is able to go six. The problem is, again, is
Speaker 4: like he throws. It's kind of Dylan.
Speaker 5: Cease like, like he throws a lot of pitches, he gets.
Speaker 4: Strikeouts, but then all of a sudden, you're ninety five
Speaker 4: pitches into the fifth inning and you can't go much further.
Speaker 5: But you know, what are you spending? That's relative I
Speaker 5: suppose to your league. But like he's the number one
Speaker 5: pitching prospect out there to pick up.
Speaker 4: He would have probably a full season in front of him,
Speaker 4: so I would be pretty aggressive.
Speaker 5: I would be shocked if he goes for less.
Speaker 4: Than twenty to twenty five percent of anyone's fab in
Speaker 4: wherever you're at in your league right now.
Speaker 3: Ross Pants lost, Westburg Jazz and possibly Campbell. Who would
Speaker 3: you offer Sandy for Simmy and a fourteen team head
Speaker 3: to head categories league?
Speaker 2: You know what, I think I would.
Speaker 5: That's a poop for poop with poop for poop.
Speaker 3: But you know, I don't think Simmy is a guy
Speaker 3: with a five hundred ohps the rest of the season.
Speaker 3: Contre is gonna take a little bit longer, I think.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's fine.
Speaker 4: I think they're both like generally players that are like
Speaker 4: massively underperforming that I do believe are going to bounce back.
Speaker 4: Our conscious is really weird right now. Simeon just this
Speaker 4: is what he does. But he is getting older. But
Speaker 4: I think that's a fine trade, especially if you're just
Speaker 4: banged up across the.
Speaker 2: Board, Welsh, Is Hoglin worth a stream?
Speaker 4: This is what Michael Gunner Hogling coming up today. What
Speaker 4: is interesting about it is it's Miami and the strikeouts. Yeah,
Speaker 4: maybe Hoglin has had a lot of injuries, but his
Speaker 4: velo's up as he's healthy this year. Fastball is back up.
Speaker 4: I think he's throwing a slighter, harder He's had a
Speaker 4: really really good early minor league season. Yeah, I think
Speaker 4: you can stream him against the Marlins if you are just.
Speaker 3: Looking at him this morning, because I do the Rookie
Speaker 3: Report as a segment too, So Friday, I get everything
Speaker 3: ready for Sunday right two four to three ERA currently
Speaker 3: six starts, twenty nine and things thirty strikeouts, just seven walks.
Speaker 3: The whip is at one point zero four. So if
Speaker 3: you're looking for somebody to pick up and stream for
Speaker 3: the Athletics, and they could do some help in that rotation,
Speaker 3: so that would not be crazy. You know what else
Speaker 3: I saw too, There was a couple guys in that
Speaker 3: San Francisco system too.
Speaker 2: Kyle Harrison was one. I'm trying to remember who the
Speaker 2: other one was that was kind.
Speaker 5: Of popping off there in the Giant systems.
Speaker 2: In the Giant system, yeah.
Speaker 4: Carston wizen Hunt would be the other one. Wizon Hunt's
Speaker 4: got a great, great change up if that's where you're
Speaker 4: looking at.
Speaker 5: Kyle Harrison's been solid as well.
Speaker 2: Damn I'll find the other one. But Harrison right now
Speaker 2: I think is leading the.
Speaker 3: PCL in strikeouts, which I was kind of shocked about it.
Speaker 3: He's a thirty eight or something like that. I believe
Speaker 3: I'm gonna find the other name too. I saw win't
Speaker 3: Hunt also, but they had a couple guys there that
Speaker 3: I I just it kind of surprised me that that's
Speaker 3: where the stats were for those pitchers. Right now, I'm
Speaker 3: trying to find it right now, here we go. Let's
Speaker 3: go International League, Pacific Coast League, please, Okay, So looking
Speaker 3: at this, Kyle Harrison thirty eight strikeouts, eight walks, three
Speaker 3: four six ERA, Cayden Dana obviously with the Angels two
Speaker 3: four or five ERA, he's pitched pretty well.
Speaker 2: Wizzen Hunt is pitched well. There was another no, Carson Seymour.
Speaker 3: That was the other guy. Thirty strikeouts, eleven walks. He's
Speaker 3: got a one point nine to three ERA. I know
Speaker 3: it wasn't wiz Hunting, it was somebody else. So they've
Speaker 3: got three legit arms down there right now that are
Speaker 3: crushing it. Do you see the Giants making any moves
Speaker 3: here as some of these rotation spots, you know, as
Speaker 3: we start to get deeper into May and then June,
Speaker 3: where some of these kids might make some I mean,
Speaker 3: Harrison's had his cup of coffee already in the big
Speaker 3: leagues but do you think you might see some of
Speaker 3: these changes for the Giants at some point?
Speaker 4: Maybe it's funny baby Billy put In. I was gonna say,
Speaker 4: Joe Whitman too. I like Joe Whitman.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think what's more like?
Speaker 4: And maybe I'm not one hundred percent sure if you
Speaker 4: were meaning like that they were gonna make changes to
Speaker 4: put these young guys in, or they were gonna move
Speaker 4: these young guys, because I think it's more likely that
Speaker 4: they would moilve some of these young guys. The problem
Speaker 4: is that division is just ridiculous. With the Padres shout
Speaker 4: out to Cali, the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers. You know,
Speaker 4: are they willing to trade young, controllable pitching for what?
Speaker 4: I kind of think it's probably more likely that you
Speaker 4: get some of these young guys in the rotation, But I.
Speaker 5: Don't think all of them.
Speaker 4: I think it is Kyle Harrison and Wizzen Hunt if
Speaker 4: you were speculating, though, Look.
Speaker 3: Web's not going anywhere. Verlander has been all right, you know,
Speaker 3: Hicks hasn't been great. Robbie Ray is walking the ballpark
Speaker 3: landon Roup.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. These names don't jump off
Speaker 2: the page.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at these kids at Triple A in the
Speaker 3: PCL no less just fire and darts man striking out
Speaker 3: guys everywhere, and those guys in that ballpark right when
Speaker 3: you start shifting to a pitcher friendly environment. Keep an
Speaker 3: eye on these guys. I would at least put some
Speaker 3: watch lists on them. Injuries to talk about. It does
Speaker 3: look like we're getting the IL retroactive for Jazz Chisholm,
Speaker 3: so that news just came out before the show. Claybor
Speaker 3: Dora is three for three with a homer and then
Speaker 3: he left the game with an injury. But he cannot
Speaker 3: stay healthy this year. Christian Campbell is day to day
Speaker 3: right now. We'll keep an eye on that Walker Buehler.
Speaker 3: I know Walker Bueller heading for additional testing on his
Speaker 3: right shoulder after his start on Saturday. He wasn't feeling
Speaker 3: good about bouncing back apparently, so that could be a
Speaker 3: huge blow for this rotation. They just get Giolito back
Speaker 3: and now maybe you lose Walker Buell or that stinks, Welsh.
Speaker 5: Uh, it does stink. I'm I'm not a big fan
Speaker 5: of this one.
Speaker 4: I mean, Geelito coming back is like a big boon,
Speaker 4: but Walker Buehler if he if he misses any significant
Speaker 4: amount of time, because you know, there's some inconsistencies, but
Speaker 4: like he's been a very startable pitcher. There's gonna be
Speaker 4: more pressure put on gi Alito, and I'm not sure
Speaker 4: that they have the depth out there. They might need
Speaker 4: to make a move that team. You know, that division
Speaker 4: is just a wide open right now. If they start,
Speaker 4: you know, yes, you got Gielito back, but then if
Speaker 4: you're gonna lose Bueller at all and Richly Bayos at.
Speaker 2: It too recently, So that was another one that came.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you might need to look at some depth.
Speaker 5: You might need to make a look at.
Speaker 3: A cruiseet g Alito, how to bueler Bayo right now,
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna I think the experiment of
Speaker 3: witlock in the rotation is done.
Speaker 5: You would agree, right, I think? I mean, I think, so.
Speaker 3: Okay, is there anybody immediately that you'll be looking up,
Speaker 3: you know, coming up from that system.
Speaker 5: No, that's what I was talking about.
Speaker 4: I don't I just don't think they're like, I don't
Speaker 4: think there's the guys out there. Just No, Fitz was
Speaker 4: the guy before so and he's hurt so I just don't.
Speaker 4: I think they might need to look for a trade
Speaker 4: as far as depth goes.
Speaker 2: So the Red Sox rotation taking some lumps right now.
Speaker 3: Sal Perez left the game with HIPSWORDUS, so keep it
Speaker 3: on that going into the weekend.
Speaker 2: For a daily transaction lead, you might need another catcher.
Speaker 3: Kumar Rocker is going to throw it at a bullpen
Speaker 3: session sometime next week. Corey Seeger hopes to be back
Speaker 3: tomorrow from the IL. That's good news. Cole Reagan's will
Speaker 3: throw a bullpen session Friday. And then well, she were
Speaker 3: texting with katel Marte, I think right before the show.
Speaker 4: And when he was on the plane, actually when he
Speaker 4: was on the plane flying to Philly. He posted on
Speaker 4: his Instagram yesterday from Philly. Iink Katell is back in
Speaker 4: the lineup too. There's a possibility they might want to,
Speaker 4: you know, have him get there and acclimate and sit,
Speaker 4: but I don't see why. So I think my dear
Speaker 4: close friend Katel Marte will be back in the lineup
Speaker 4: today as soon as the I mean, I haven't looked
Speaker 4: at the diamonbacks rosters out. If it's not today, it's tomorrow,
Speaker 4: but I think it is. It is a marte parte,
Speaker 4: as we say in Arizona, it's the.
Speaker 3: Best kind of party. All right, Welsh, it's that time again.
Speaker 3: It's time for the best bets of the day with
Speaker 3: Joey p.
Speaker 2: And the Welsh.
Speaker 3: And I need to come back from yesterday, oh with
Speaker 3: three yesterday. Well, we're not gonna do that. Let's talk
Speaker 3: about Francisco Lindor right now. To score a run minus
Speaker 3: one twenty five, but he's got great numbers in his career.
Speaker 3: Three homers really tears up Sonny Gray. So I'm looking
Speaker 3: at Lindor Investments tonight. I've got a fun little prop too.
Speaker 3: If you bet the home run with these other two here,
Speaker 3: the Dela Cruz, the Mountcastle numbers that I've got here.
Speaker 2: For you, you.
Speaker 3: Can make a real pretty penny just ten bucks. Get
Speaker 3: you five hundred and a parlay of that and hear
Speaker 3: me out because it's not absurd. Like I said, Lindor
Speaker 3: owns Sunday Gray, you're getting five to one on that,
Speaker 3: Ellie Dela Cruz.
Speaker 2: Why do I like him to steal base tonight?
Speaker 3: Well, Kybert Ruiz is only thrown out about twenty percent
Speaker 3: of base runners so far this year.
Speaker 2: He has not been good.
Speaker 3: Just at twenty six percent, you're getting almost two to
Speaker 3: one here plus one ninety four on Ellie de la
Speaker 3: Cruz base the Major League dude when it comes to
Speaker 3: stolen base, is a good opportunity here for him, and
Speaker 3: I think that is an investment. I am ready to make.
Speaker 3: I love this one tonight again Kybert struggling to throw
Speaker 3: runners out. Ella de la Cruz will take advantage of that,
Speaker 3: I think this evening. And then finally Ryan Moutcastle plus
Speaker 3: one seventy.
Speaker 2: Now Mincastle has not been.
Speaker 3: Good, however against Michael Waka in twenty two at bats
Speaker 3: he has a fourteen hundred ops. So it's the perfect
Speaker 3: time for Ryan Moultcastle to turn things around here plus
Speaker 3: one seventy to drive in a run again, very good
Speaker 3: historical numbers. A little batter verse pitcher action tonight here
Speaker 3: for me with Lindor against Gray Mountcastle against the aforementioned
Speaker 3: Michael Waka Welsh. What do you have for the folks
Speaker 3: today on a fun Friday betting stream.
Speaker 4: We are going to jump back into some strikeout props.
Speaker 4: We're gonna get back into it. We're gonna get to
Speaker 4: Dylan C's We don't often see a six and a
Speaker 4: half Dillan cease and it's against a Pirates team, so
Speaker 4: I really like I like this matchup, especially on the
Speaker 4: top end. I think Dylan Cees could lock this down
Speaker 4: by the fourth inning, love if we get one of
Speaker 4: those seven inning Dylan ceases. But plus money at six
Speaker 4: and a half, there's not a number we see a
Speaker 4: ton on on Dylan c So I'm jumping over that.
Speaker 4: Max Freed. Max Freed going up against the Rays. Rays
Speaker 4: kind of bouncing back and forth as far as the
Speaker 4: strikeouts go, but Max Freed has been absolutely phenomenal. I
Speaker 4: think we're gonna get a big, big performance out of
Speaker 4: him today. So minus one twenty at six strikeouts for
Speaker 4: Max Freed, you could even parlay them if you want
Speaker 4: to have fun. But I was crappy yesterday too, So
Speaker 4: maybe fade and then I'm gonna go with a full
Speaker 4: game money line play. We're gonna go with the Mariners
Speaker 4: plus one. Uh it's minus one fifteen unfortunate unfortunately not
Speaker 4: a birthday play here. I think it's minus Maybe I
Speaker 4: wrote that wrong. I'm not sure, but that I think
Speaker 4: it's a minus money play. Seattle up against the Texas Rangers,
Speaker 4: but we have got Brian Wu on the mound, and
Speaker 4: we got you.
Speaker 5: Know, there's no Seger that's there. Yeah, it is minus
Speaker 5: one fifteen. We got no Corey Seger.
Speaker 4: We got Burger out of the lineup, which by the way,
Speaker 4: might not be the best thing in the world.
Speaker 5: We might want Jake Berger in there.
Speaker 4: But Brian Wu just been phenomenal offense picking up a
Speaker 4: little bit, So we're gonna go full game Seattle moneyline
Speaker 4: minus one fifteen with a couple strikeout props.

Speaker 3: a sudden, these people tuning in for the first time
Speaker 3: on Monday and us wearing Luca door masks.
Speaker 2: That's not jarring at all.
Speaker 3: Let's get to the home run board and see who's
Speaker 3: in the lead for the Sami Sosa jersey from Pristine Auction.
Speaker 3: It's Marty today, Tira wow, and look at cookie. Chub's
Speaker 3: at thirteen far out. Welsh is at ten. I am
Speaker 3: still lurking, man. I would have had did won't you
Speaker 3: say I have yesterday?
Speaker 2: Six?
Speaker 5: I think you would have been like one under the board.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have been eight if I had Soto instead.
Speaker 2: I do not.
Speaker 3: So this weekend I'm taking Francisco Lindor right all weekend
Speaker 3: against the Saint Louis Cardinals. He's got good numbers against
Speaker 3: Suddy Gray, He's got good numbers against Fetti. He's the
Speaker 3: Cardinals are not great. Hellsley, by the way, is gonna
Speaker 3: get traded two U later too. There's a lot of
Speaker 3: teams that are going to knock in for him, I think.
Speaker 2: From Saint Louis.
Speaker 3: So he will be the closer on a contender, I
Speaker 3: think sooner than later. But you're getting a huge number
Speaker 3: on Lindor today. If you want to bet at two
Speaker 3: plus five twenty right now?
Speaker 2: Is that number? Welsh?
Speaker 3: Where are you going for your home run call today?
Speaker 3: And is it in perpetuity? Or is it just for Friday.
Speaker 4: H It is in perpetuity unless I change it over

Speaker 2: That that will be the.
Speaker 3: Most easty you can possibly fathom. That'll be a good time,
Speaker 3: although it might be a little bit more Russian nowadays.
Speaker 4: About to say, I'm very westy up in the Bay Area,
Speaker 4: so I know that part. But yes, never been to
Speaker 4: New York, never Philly, never Florida, never any of him.

Speaker 3: I went to school in Philadelphia. I lived there for
Speaker 3: a couple of years after. Philly is a great city.
Speaker 3: It's one of my favorite places to eat, drink, and
Speaker 3: be merry. It's tough to live there a long period
Speaker 3: of time when you're from New York. There's just little
Speaker 3: idiosyncratic things about Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: But if I had to.
Speaker 3: Pick another city to live, actually, I think living in
Speaker 3: Philly is better than living in New York.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you one hundred percent. Sometimes New
Speaker 2: York is just too much.
Speaker 3: Phill is a little bit more laid back, and I
Speaker 3: think now that I'm more laid back.
Speaker 2: I think I can handle it a little better.
