Speaker 1: Welcome in Brendos to leading off right here on Fantasy
Speaker 1: Pro's MLB Panza Cracker Jacks next to me is not
Speaker 1: Joe Pieza Pia unless Joe piece of Pia grew a
Speaker 1: magnificent beard.
Speaker 2: No, Hey, I'm Joe.

Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You gotta go hey yo? Actually is we go? Hey?
Speaker 3: Yo?
Speaker 1: I'm Joe. It's going on, everybody to meet today with
Speaker 1: some technical stuff for mister Joe Pisa Pia.
Speaker 2: Actually not technical.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you knew this, but he's actually
Speaker 3: gonna go door to door to sell the Black Book.
Speaker 2: Now, so that's what's happening today.
Speaker 3: He won't be here with us because he's knocking on
Speaker 3: people's doors in his neighborhood saying have you heard about
Speaker 3: Fantasy football?
Speaker 2: And selling it door to door? I don't know if
Speaker 2: you knew that.
Speaker 1: I'm actually not even joking about this. Two nights ago
Speaker 1: we went to this. It was just like, man, this
Speaker 1: is this hotel was built in eighteen ninety nine out
Speaker 1: here in this place called Wickenberg, and they were they
Speaker 1: were reopening.
Speaker 2: Called the Great wolf Line.
Speaker 3: Yeah built it was a haunted mansion.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be built in eighteen ninety nine, and
Speaker 1: we go, we come back and we pull into our
Speaker 1: driveway and there's no like front lights on. It's all
Speaker 1: very dark. We pull out and these two guys go, oh, hey,
Speaker 1: where'd you guys go? And we're like, and I'm looking
Speaker 1: around and they're near my wife and I kind of
Speaker 1: roll around the car and it is said, gentlemen in
Speaker 1: white T shirts with nine PM in the dark, trying
Speaker 1: to have the conversation. We're like, we were at a
Speaker 1: haunted mansion. We were, we were with them. We can't
Speaker 1: do this right now. So I assume that was similar
Speaker 1: to Joe, But no, Joe is back tomorrow. Joe had's
Speaker 1: some internet stuff. So Bogman is pinch hitting today. So
Speaker 1: thank you all for hanging out with us. It technically
Speaker 1: is like Dougadio said, it is technically itln We've got
Speaker 1: everything here today and we're excited to do this. This
Speaker 1: episode brought to you Bye. Of course, prize picks use
Speaker 1: a promo code leading off match deposit up to one
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. We're gonna do some prize picks a little
Speaker 1: bit later. We've got some betting, We got a little
Speaker 1: bit of everything. Home run board will I have made
Speaker 1: the home run board. I don't know if you know this,
Speaker 1: bogman Joe has become a hater in his hating process.
Speaker 2: No, not Joe.
Speaker 1: Yep, he decided that Kyle Schwarber was done, but he
Speaker 1: was unaware of Kyle Schwarber in June what happened last month.
Speaker 1: And he was also unaware that wah Wah had schwarber Fest.
Speaker 1: Wahwah's Schwarberfest was real. And guess what June, Kyle Schwarber
Speaker 1: came through and hit two bombs on Sunday and guess
Speaker 1: which host decided to take Kyle Schwarber in the weekend
Speaker 1: to spite the other one.
Speaker 3: I don't think I have to guess Welsh. I think
Speaker 3: you definitely took Kyle Schwarber. And were you involved in
Speaker 3: planning for Schwarbfest or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: No, I think it's amazing, like we were joking about it,
Speaker 1: but like wah wat actually had a thing called.
Speaker 2: Schwar like Josh Lowe hates it. We know that we did.
Speaker 3: We did a vote on it TL a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks ago about Josh lo versus Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 2: Everybody took Josh low to my surprise.
Speaker 1: But struggling a little bit the last couple of days
Speaker 1: going to Golshber two bombs on Sunday, I think we
Speaker 1: forget about that forty five plus home run power.
Speaker 3: Uh there pretty quickly when Josh Lowe's piling up steals
Speaker 3: and homers.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well two three run homers as Phillies beet
Speaker 1: the Nationals eleven to three, and we will see the
Speaker 1: whole point of that was actually just to be like,
Speaker 1: will I make the home run board.
Speaker 3: It's a brag about being on the home run board.
Speaker 3: I know, I know your game, Welsh. Not my first
Speaker 3: rodeo with you, my friend, so we've been here before.
Speaker 1: Please this magnificent thing that Ethan made Schwarberfest. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Like what other athlete is going to get a gas
Speaker 1: station sponsorship that's just gonna be get that's the thing,
Speaker 1: and I would get, by the way, okay, it would
Speaker 1: be An in this league, Bogmina Welsh, we'd be sponsored
Speaker 1: by you know, come and.
Speaker 3: Go, yeah, yeah, things on We're morning radio today for
Speaker 3: us Welsh.
Speaker 2: Look at that we are.
Speaker 1: We are a little bit. That was a fun one.
Speaker 1: You know, we were gonna do this too, but we'll
Speaker 1: give it today. Bogmin and I actually conducted a rest
Speaker 1: of season draft last week with our friend Frank Stanfel
Speaker 1: from CBS, and Joe wanted to talk about it. We'll
Speaker 1: save it because I know Joe's gonna probably want to
Speaker 1: talk about it. We'll do it tomorrow. So there's a
Speaker 1: little teas for tomorrow that we'll talk about rest of
Speaker 1: season draft and where some of the changes are. But
Speaker 1: one person that is not going to be making that
Speaker 1: top two round and might not make any of it
Speaker 1: in the near future was Bryce Miller. Bryce Miller got
Speaker 1: lit yesterday. I actually watched a bit of it, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to say he was clean because he
Speaker 1: got the bases loaded in the first inning. He got
Speaker 1: out of it. Second inning I think was cleaner, but
Speaker 1: then third inning, wap, bam boom. He got lit up
Speaker 1: for eight runs. Bryce Miller now has given up all
Speaker 1: of it seven innings over the last I think two starts,
Speaker 1: fifteen earned runs and three homers. Are you out on
Speaker 1: the Bryce Miller? Now?
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm completely out. You know, two bad
Speaker 3: starts in a row is horrible. Obviously, fifteen earned runs
Speaker 3: in your last two starts with five. When you have
Speaker 3: ten more earned runs than strikeouts in your last two starts,
Speaker 3: it's not a good sign, Cotton, you know, not not
Speaker 3: very good for you. But his left on base percentage
Speaker 3: is also like hovering just over half, like that is
Speaker 3: going to come way down here.
Speaker 2: Eventually He's going to get out of some more of
Speaker 2: these chams.
Speaker 3: So I'm not completely out on him, but one more
Speaker 3: bad start and it's probably see ya. So you know
Speaker 3: it's this. We're doing the tight rope walk right now
Speaker 3: with Bryce for sure.
Speaker 1: Checking my volume, someone said, am I too quiet? His
Speaker 1: bogman too loud?
Speaker 2: Will be yeah, I'm too yeah, actually loud.
Speaker 1: I'll turn it down a little bit and I'll see
Speaker 1: if I can come up here a little bit, and
Speaker 1: you guys let me know if it.
Speaker 3: Is if I am too I don't say anything about
Speaker 3: sound to the Welsh, he'll obsess about it in the middle.
Speaker 1: Leave. I'll just like leave and just have to focus
Speaker 1: on one of the things that was disturbing in that
Speaker 1: start though. Three swing and misses, and this is this
Speaker 1: is what got me felt very brandon fott ish. If
Speaker 1: you guys watch Brandon fott getting hit super hard, not
Speaker 1: getting the fastball by anybody we know. Bryce Miller's fastball
Speaker 1: is a thing. He had twenty two swings on the fastball,
Speaker 1: only two whiffs, seven more called strike, so it was
Speaker 1: a twenty one CSW percentage. The slider had nothing and
Speaker 1: the previous start he used some of his other offerings.
Speaker 1: This one was seventy percent fastball and it was ineffective.
Speaker 1: The vello was also down. The slider was ineffective. He
Speaker 1: had a ten percent whiff rate overall, a twenty percent
Speaker 1: CSW rate.
Speaker 3: The pitch sounds pretty panicky, sounds young picture ish, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like, I can only get my
Speaker 3: fastball over So I'm just gonna keep throwing the fastball
Speaker 3: and they have to hit it.
Speaker 2: And then they did. It's the bigs.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Mayor's being mean. Can you yourself one hundred percent? And
Speaker 1: I want I want Cason to know I want one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Started to look at my microphone stuff. You
Speaker 1: guys are gonna freak.
Speaker 2: Out, do that.
Speaker 1: Stop looking at the chat. I'm gonna say you look
Speaker 1: a look at the mean This chat is as well
Speaker 1: as talking. I see you guys know I'm gonna freak out.
Speaker 1: Good Bryce Miller one more. I'm gonna watch one yeah start.
Speaker 1: There's a rough matchup against Texas. Uh I think it
Speaker 1: was what Yankees versus Texas or me. It's two really
Speaker 1: really rough matchups. The pitch mix is a whole new
Speaker 1: thing for him. Don't go and like you know, rage
Speaker 1: drop or anything like that. I'd like to see him
Speaker 1: get back to it. I'm optimistic I can get there,
Speaker 1: but you like kind of can't have like two You
Speaker 1: can't have two worst starts at this point than what
Speaker 1: brings me. So you're gonna have people that are massively,
Speaker 1: massively panicking. Bogman, your guy sticks Tristan McKenzie. Phenomenal season debut,
Speaker 1: five scoreless, ten strikeouts against the Twins. This is your guy, man.
Speaker 3: I love Tristan McKenzie, so I'm glad to see him
Speaker 3: get back up on the board.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: I think I have like three or four shares and
Speaker 3: I only started him in one spot because of the
Speaker 3: don't start a guy coming off the il rule from
Speaker 3: our buddy Nick Pollock. Usually allow of those guys struggle
Speaker 3: with command in their first start, but he did not.
Speaker 3: He looked great, So here's hoping for more and he
Speaker 3: can stay healthy.
Speaker 2: So let's go.
Speaker 1: Tris a twenty nine percent whiff rate on the fastball,
Speaker 1: which is great, and the vela is actually up a
Speaker 1: little bit. It max out at ninety five. He was
Speaker 1: averaging just around ninety three curveball thirty three percent, slider
Speaker 1: seven swing six whiffs. That's an eighty six percent with
Speaker 1: rate overall forty one percent whiff rate, which is super high,
Speaker 1: and good csw thirty eight percent. He used both those,
Speaker 1: all three of those pitches at about the same degree
Speaker 1: that he normally does.
Speaker 2: This is like Bryce, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: The only thing though, is like the Twins are like
Speaker 1: really bad, like really bad as far as swinging through.
Speaker 1: They're massive strikeout guys. So I think this was good
Speaker 1: to get it going. I still don't know if McKenzie
Speaker 1: is like going to be a massive, massive strikeout guy
Speaker 1: all season, but.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't expect me to get ten a game or anything.
Speaker 3: But you know, you would have been fun when you can.
Speaker 2: That's nice.
Speaker 1: Would have been asking Bryce Miller versus Tristan McKenzie, like
Speaker 1: before the two blow ups, where people would have been
Speaker 1: I think everyone would probably easily go to sticks right now.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, easily after fifteen earned in two games for Bryce.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going for McKenzie.
Speaker 1: Ooh, this one. Let me see if I can get
Speaker 1: this up here. Dumped Bryce for Andrew Abbott. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about Andrew Abbitt here in a second. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I would do that one. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, Abbot seems to be pretty safe from what
Speaker 3: they're saying about him. It seems like he's gonna stick
Speaker 3: in the rotation for now. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, Well, we got the rookie look
Speaker 1: I know Joe would be upset if I just bashed
Speaker 1: in and didn't put him in the rookie lookie, so
Speaker 1: we'll keep him in the rookie lookies. Let's get through
Speaker 1: these other ones here. Anthony Volpi hit a two run
Speaker 1: homer in the ninth inning on Sunday as the Yankees
Speaker 1: beat the words they put in this in the in
Speaker 1: our show sheet. By the way that I'm gonna read
Speaker 1: it as the show sheet is. Anthony Volpe swatted a
Speaker 1: two run homer in the ninth inning on Sundays. The
Speaker 1: Yankees try triumphed jumped over the Dodgers four to one,
Speaker 1: like we just say normal. They slashing one ninety three
Speaker 1: two sixty eight three sixty three, nine homers, twenty six RBA,
Speaker 1: thirteen stolen bases with Volpi right now. He has been
Speaker 1: teetering the pickup drop all season. I say, continue to hold,
Speaker 1: I continue? Do you continue to hold?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean he's putting up everything but batting average. So uh,
Speaker 3: we'll take four out of five.
Speaker 2: That's fine, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Marcus Stroman had another great performance in here, allowed just
Speaker 1: one and run four hits over. They put six spectac
Speaker 1: They're writing like, this is an article. This must be
Speaker 1: Mayor's doing here, six spectacular innings. You know, we got
Speaker 1: to have all the action.
Speaker 2: Mayor just had to read a lot of my bad writing.
Speaker 3: So maybe he's just like giving me an example of
Speaker 3: what's some Oh, because you're on the show.
Speaker 2: Hey, guys, not.
Speaker 1: To like focus on anybody, Bogman, but this is how
Speaker 1: we might write.
Speaker 3: I mean, he just had to read a bunch of
Speaker 3: chapters from dummies like me for the Black Book, So
Speaker 3: he's probably just like, God, this is what good writing is.
Speaker 2: Guy. Here you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this let me help you out in words that
Speaker 1: you would throw in here. Also, Tyler Wells has been
Speaker 1: really good this year, delivered a dominant performance in Sunday's
Speaker 1: victory over the Giants, racking up a season high nine
Speaker 1: strikeouts over five of two run baseball. He also was
Speaker 1: doing a lot of work on my uh really on everything,
Speaker 1: my dynasty ranks, my prospect ranks, going through some just
Speaker 1: season total stuff. And Tyler Wells is just everywhere on
Speaker 1: the pitching metrics. You start going in and you just
Speaker 1: start breaking down even through May. My trade video which
Speaker 1: I'll be recording today and I'll be coming out on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: going through to you know, find the right guys. Bam.
Speaker 1: Tyler Wells is just everywhere. Just a very sneaky pickup,
Speaker 1: very good streamer. All right, rookie lookies, they didn't put
Speaker 1: it on here, but we got to do this. Andrew
Speaker 1: abbott has been called up. He was called up yesterday
Speaker 1: and I'm pulling up his stats here. Andrew Abbotts is
Speaker 1: going to be starting today. And actually the strikeout line
Speaker 1: was pretty aggressive. It's because of the start, of course
Speaker 1: five and a half. If you want to get in
Speaker 1: on the strikeouts, which I like that number, I believe
Speaker 1: it's against who the Red's playing today. I went away
Speaker 1: from it though Reds are playing the Brewers. So the
Speaker 1: Brewers do strikeout, but there's some decent offensive help. Andrew
Speaker 1: Abbott so far this year across two levels, a two
Speaker 1: and a half ERA, ninety strikeouts over fifty four innings.
Speaker 1: Ninety strikeouts.
Speaker 2: I was like my Road to the Show guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like video game type of stuff. He had
Speaker 1: like a twenty k per nine when he was in
Speaker 1: Double A. That was due to the tacked ball up
Speaker 1: in Triple A. This is probably more important here. He
Speaker 1: had a three ERA over seven starts, fifty four strikeouts
Speaker 1: on fourteen innings. He's a big power pitcher, big fastball
Speaker 1: secondaries induce a lot of strikeouts, and that's where we're
Speaker 1: gonna go with it. And you know, am I going
Speaker 1: to go and drop Bryce Miller for him? Right now?
Speaker 1: I'm not there, But am I gonna throw him out there?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I kind of dig this start.
Speaker 1: It's it's in Cincinnati, which I guess I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit worried about in general going up against juliote Ron.
Speaker 1: I actually think he can cover the strikeouts. I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to push innings. And I think
Speaker 1: Andrew Abbott is a regardless if you were to start
Speaker 1: him in this I think he's a pickup no matter
Speaker 1: what immediately because this was the next big guy bug.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a big question, what would you
Speaker 1: Andrew Abbott or Bryce Miller.
Speaker 3: That's tough. I think I still want Bryce Miller. I
Speaker 3: mean just your chance for wins are so much higher
Speaker 3: for him. Abbott and the Reds haven't been bad, by
Speaker 3: the way, and they're saying that he he looks like
Speaker 3: he's going to stick in the rotation as well, so
Speaker 3: he's not a bad pickup.
Speaker 2: But I think I still want Bryce.
Speaker 1: I actually like it too because of the commitment they're doing,
Speaker 1: because that commitment is not everywhere else, Like we actually
Speaker 1: have some concerns about Uri Perez. You know, Euri prisban phenomenal,
Speaker 1: but the team is still like uncertain what they're going
Speaker 1: to do there. Yeah, Craigmish even had talked about that
Speaker 1: there's a possibility that they might shell them. You know,
Speaker 1: once Trevor Rodgers is back and they get these guys back,
Speaker 1: they might just say, hey, buddy, good job and then
Speaker 1: just shelve them through the year for the innings and
Speaker 1: go into next year, which I think would be crazy
Speaker 1: if especially the team is competing. The one thing you're
Speaker 1: not getting with Andrew Abbott is any of those concerns.
Speaker 1: Even with like the you know, some of the guardians
Speaker 1: guys and stuff. Even though Zach Plisa got released, he
Speaker 1: got designated for assignment. You know, they're making the commitment.
Speaker 1: You know, this guy has theoretically got this gig and
Speaker 1: he is a big, big strikeout option. I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit worried about fly balls in general for him, especially
Speaker 1: in this Milwaukee offense, but this, this specific one, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't mind the strike. I would probably get him out here.
Speaker 1: And you know what, like I've said before, you know what,
Speaker 1: the best thing about starting like a high upside guy
Speaker 1: in on Monday is if they blow up, your week's done.
Speaker 1: So who cares about anything else, Who cares about your er,
Speaker 1: cares about your whip. You just go out at bogs
Speaker 1: and you just.
Speaker 3: Add as many guys as you can. Yeah, just pilot
Speaker 3: them strikeouts and wins.
Speaker 1: Yep, Yeah, it's all over for you. Also on the
Speaker 1: rookie lookies outside of Andrew Abbott, Bobby Miller turned in
Speaker 1: a spectacular outing and a no decision against the Yankees,
Speaker 1: striking out seven batters over six innings. He now is
Speaker 1: a two in our record with a one point zero
Speaker 1: six ERA, a point seven to six whip, sixteen to
Speaker 1: four strikeouts to walk ratio in seventeen innings. He has
Speaker 1: been everything. Bobby Miller is that, dude? Bobby Millerby Tanner, Bibby,
Speaker 1: Taj Bradley, Rank.
Speaker 3: Them, Bobby Bradley, Biby.
Speaker 1: Okay, Bobby Miller, TODs Bradley Tanner, Biby was a baby monkey?
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, That's exactly what I was thinking of when
Speaker 3: I said it was what was it?
Speaker 1: It was monkey baby, puppy monkey baby. That's it. We
Speaker 1: need a graphic. Now we're gonna need a Tanner. We're
Speaker 1: gonna need a Bibby Bradley. Who's our Bobby Miller, Yeah,
Speaker 1: puppy monkey.
Speaker 3: Bobby Bradley, puppy monkey.
Speaker 1: It was a monkey, puppy baby.
Speaker 3: Bobby Bradley, Yeah, puppy monkey baby. Was that I said?
Speaker 2: When I say Bobby Bradley Rank the damn pitchers? Who
Speaker 2: are Bobby Bradley Bibby.
Speaker 1: Bobby brad Okay? They actually you confused me? They're Bobby Bradley, Bibby.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Bradley. Oh man, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Bradley Bobby Bibby, and I don't like doing that.
Speaker 1: Did you know Bradley Bobby thirty innings pitched on the season,
Speaker 1: TODs Bradley has the third best era of all pitchers
Speaker 1: called thirty thirty innings or more pitch this entire season.
Speaker 1: Third best Sierra belongs to Taj Bradley. Just not ready
Speaker 1: to give up on him. Also, speaking of Logan Allen,
Speaker 1: who we did put in there, he got a victory
Speaker 1: on Saturday, holding the Twins to two runs on seven
Speaker 1: hits over six strong frames. Outside of my buddy Frank
Speaker 1: texting me saying I've never had a more assured bet. Ever,
Speaker 1: it's four and a half over strikeouts on Logan Allen.
Speaker 1: This is all the stuff I said, say I did
Speaker 1: the kid thing, Bogs, I said, say less bet, and
Speaker 1: I threw in all the money and Logan Allen had
Speaker 1: four strikeouts through four and then went to six with
Speaker 1: no more strikeouts and finished with four strikeouts.
Speaker 2: And oh god, we did not carry that to me.
Speaker 1: But Logan Allen does look like he's a little bit
Speaker 1: more assured of a gig, which is important. On the
Speaker 1: injury front, Aaron Judge told reporters after Sunday's win the
Speaker 1: Dodgers that he's going to undergo additional testing on his
Speaker 1: big right toe on Monday. I think they were asking
Speaker 1: if he broke his toe. He was kind of uncertain
Speaker 1: about that. Nest Cortes is going to be headed to
Speaker 1: the AL with a short injury. That's stinky. Finally, Brandon
Speaker 1: Lau actually dealing with back issues, not lower leg discomfort,
Speaker 1: which had been previously reported. He's missed just a litany
Speaker 1: of games over the last couple of weeks. It's crazy. Luis,
Speaker 1: your boy, Luis Surius is expected to be activated off
Speaker 1: finally on Tuesday that you've been waiting for him.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's been hurt since Opening Day. Hurt his
Speaker 3: hamstring on Opening Day. It's because I had like just
Speaker 3: put him in a trade to get a third baseman
Speaker 3: to be okay there, and you know I've been starting JD.
Speaker 2: Davis in that spot the whole year.
Speaker 1: So the Twins places Joey gallow on the ten day
Speaker 1: IOH with left hamstring strain. That'll I don't know what
Speaker 1: that's going to open up. By the way, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen the corresponding move of what they're going to do. Also, Royce,
Speaker 1: did you see Royce Lewis in the head thing.
Speaker 2: I feel like the twins have had no I didn't
Speaker 2: see the head thing. I don't think.
Speaker 3: I feel like they've had thirty seven active players all
Speaker 3: year long, Like you know, then they activated Carolov, then
Speaker 3: send him down and then brought him back up like
Speaker 3: it is a merry go round in minute.
Speaker 1: If you know, if you're a parent, Royce Lewis did
Speaker 1: what every parent is terrified of when you take your
Speaker 1: kid to the Trampline Park. It's like cause he did no,
Speaker 1: he did the Yeah, that's it. We're like, oh man,
Speaker 1: we're so scared of the springs, that's the thing. No,
Speaker 1: it's the jumping. And he flipped over and his neck
Speaker 1: got bent back while he was flying. Like it's literally
Speaker 1: what I get terrified about my kids when we go
Speaker 1: to the Trampline Park. And then after he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's just my shoulder or whatever hurts, so he's okay.
Speaker 1: Joey Gallows on the I l there's a million guys
Speaker 1: in the miners. God knows what they're gonna do. Edward
Speaker 1: Julian just got sent back down. I don't know if
Speaker 1: we'll ever see Miranda again, but you know, Joey Gallows going. Also,
Speaker 1: Xander Bogart's is likely to get at least it says
Speaker 1: Sunday off because of soreness, so that might be talking
Speaker 1: about today. Wander Franco was not in the race starting
Speaker 1: lineup on Sunday's showdown against the Red Sox. Franco was
Speaker 1: held out the second game of Saturday's doubleheader after tweaking
Speaker 1: his hamstring. I've noticed they've done that with him on Sundays.
Speaker 1: The last couple of Sundays, Wander has been sitting, so
Speaker 1: that might be a thing. That might be a thing.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a Is that called a scorpion? Yeah, he
Speaker 1: did look like a scorpion. We talked about scorpions. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that.
Speaker 2: I look at that.
Speaker 1: Multiple people are calling that. I didn't know that that's
Speaker 1: a name. I ever see bending your neck wrong?
Speaker 2: Well, it's for your feet going back over your head.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Do you ever see the Bejon Robinson clip of him
Speaker 2: doing that at Texas?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, full scorpion.
Speaker 3: I mean he landed like on his chest right here
Speaker 3: and his feet touched in front of his head.
Speaker 1: So that's like what happened with me.
Speaker 2: By the next week, so I saw people talking.
Speaker 1: About it and I was like, that's not something I'm
Speaker 1: gonna watch. That's not something I'm gonna look at. And
Speaker 1: then I accidentally saw it and I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, it is brutal. It made me. It made
Speaker 1: me like go like blaha, like out loud, like it's
Speaker 1: I hate that.
Speaker 2: It's the absolute worst.
Speaker 1: Here's it for funsies that the guy's put in here.
Speaker 1: Marcus Simeon went four for six with a homer, two doubles,
Speaker 1: four scored as the Rangers moved past the Mariners sixteen
Speaker 1: to six on Saturday, three zero four batting average slightly
Speaker 1: better than last year where he was hitting one ninety,
Speaker 1: which is a fun one for Marcus, I mean because
Speaker 1: that rebound on him took like two weeks and not
Speaker 1: two months. Also, this was when that got shared over
Speaker 1: on the group chat over the weekend from John Morrissey
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals have the worst record in the National League.
Speaker 1: Who would have thought a moment in time, I want
Speaker 1: to getcapsulate this for a second box. I know it's
Speaker 1: not I don't think it's true. This second. But in theory,
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks being the best in the NL and the
Speaker 1: Cardinals being the worst in the NL, guess what we
Speaker 1: won the Goldie trade.
Speaker 2: That's all the Yeah right, yeah, still lost that.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go to Carlos Junior today just because you
Speaker 3: said that, by the way.
Speaker 2: But yeah, look, this was my fear.
Speaker 3: We talked about it before the season started, was that
Speaker 3: rotation is terrible. It's so bad right now and there's
Speaker 3: not really an answer to it. Miles, michaelis is your
Speaker 3: best picture by a million, miles. So they got to
Speaker 3: do something. They got to do something to get rotation
Speaker 3: arms because it ain't working at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Diambacks don't get some bullpen and help,
Speaker 1: I think the Cardinals could lap them in a couple
Speaker 1: months too. Yeah, I don't think we will be praising
Speaker 1: this this weirdness here in a month or so. I
Speaker 1: think the Cardinals are going to bounce back. Also in
Speaker 1: the tweet, it says the rotation has combined for only
Speaker 1: thirteen quality starts this year, tied for third fewest in MLB.
Speaker 1: And I think the speculation in John morrisy is that
Speaker 1: the trade deadline is two weeks away or two months away,
Speaker 1: So we'll see what they decide to do. If they
Speaker 1: decide to do anything, which well, I think got centers
Speaker 1: around Tyler O'Neill. Tyler O'Neil would be probably the first.
Speaker 3: Hopefully they trade, you get a good starter for Tyler O'Neill.
Speaker 3: Who're gonna get for Tyler?
Speaker 1: I don't think they care. I think Marmal just wants him.
Speaker 2: The Coulture the culture.
Speaker 1: Three up, doesn't look like we have any downs. Three up.
Speaker 1: Nathan Yavaldi allowed one hit over six scoreless innings, struck out,
Speaker 1: and then on Sundays the Arrangers beat the Mariners twelve
Speaker 1: to three. He has been phenomenal at a. Rosario is
Speaker 1: a Diamondback killer. He's a new absolutely stunned the Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: with a go ahead grand slam and the ninth inning
Speaker 1: off of Miguel Castro. Don't know how much longer that's
Speaker 1: going to be going as a closer as the Braves
Speaker 1: beat the Diamondbacks eight to five, and Jake Berger I
Speaker 1: was watching this hit a game winning grand slam in
Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth inning on Sunday as a
Speaker 1: White Sox beat the Tigers. He actually only needed to
Speaker 1: hit a fly ball. That's all he needed to do.
Speaker 1: Because the bases were loaded, they had one out as well.
Speaker 1: Put it out. Yeah. As soon as the ball was hit,
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, they've won. And it just kept going
Speaker 1: and going and going, and Jake Berger dropped a nice
Speaker 1: little Grand Slam for the win, which we all love,
Speaker 1: we all love. They called it a burger bomb, by
Speaker 1: the way, but love. You know what I just found
Speaker 1: out the next player that needs a gas station sponsorship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we need burger bombs. We need some burger bombs, burger
Speaker 1: bombs out there.
Speaker 3: So I like always root for Jake Berger because we
Speaker 3: were one of like one hundred and eighty five people
Speaker 3: in the crowd when he tore his achilles.
Speaker 1: That's right, Spring Training Grand Slam. So he needs a sponsor. Dude,
Speaker 1: between like how many food play that I'm going to
Speaker 1: get us into a rabbit hole here, but like, how
Speaker 1: many food players are there? Because there's new bar, there's
Speaker 1: Jake Berger. What other food players are there? Can we
Speaker 1: make a food team?
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure we can make out all food team.
Speaker 1: So there's no fry. Somebody give me all. I'm going
Speaker 1: to come back to this in a minute. We don't
Speaker 1: have long in the show here, but if you give
Speaker 1: me more food, name players and let's build a food team.
Speaker 1: We can also go and build some prize picks. That's right.
Speaker 1: Use the promo code leading off, get a one hundred
Speaker 1: per match deposit up to one hundred bucks. You can
Speaker 1: build a prize pick lineup as little as two players
Speaker 1: and you can win serious cash. It is tons and
Speaker 1: tons of fun. We like to build the lineups and
Speaker 1: hopefully you guys want to play along with us. Some
Speaker 1: price pick sponsors. The episode leading off is the promo
Speaker 1: code do it today, bog when you've got a price picks?
Speaker 1: What what do you got on the price picks here today? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I got a couple.
Speaker 3: Let's go over six k's for Shane McClanahan versus Boston.
Speaker 3: He's had seven strikeouts in three straight games. Let's go
Speaker 3: with that one. Let's go over five hits allowed for
Speaker 3: Alec Manoa because I've just never seen someone struggle more
Speaker 3: and keep the rotation spot than what Alec Manoa has
Speaker 3: been doing recently. And my last one, let's go under
Speaker 3: sixteen and a half picture outs for Jpcres versus the
Speaker 3: Steaming Red Hot Pittsburgh Pirates who just swept the Cardinals
Speaker 3: for like the first teams their first time.
Speaker 2: This is like twenty seventeen or twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3: I was listening to the broadcast and it had been
Speaker 3: a long time since, say you gotta sweep over the Redbirds,
Speaker 3: and they just did it. So give me less than
Speaker 3: sixteen and a half picture outs for JP s hears.
Speaker 1: We got some names, so Boxburger. Okay, so that's like
Speaker 1: a version. We can throw it here, David, This will
Speaker 1: make me laugh. Jim Rice, Okay, you know what. Technically
Speaker 1: we got Rise. Of course there's Trout in there. Throwback
Speaker 1: would be we got the pizza for Piazza. This is
Speaker 1: a little bit stretched Mark Appel for either, Okay, but
Speaker 1: I mean I'll accept it.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So we've got yeah, we got to have active players here.
Speaker 1: So I think we got box Burger. What am I
Speaker 1: missing this? What is the TJ frieda.
Speaker 2: One like fry like fried food.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure I get that one. But we've got some fish.
Speaker 1: We got more box Burgers. The gym Rice one just
Speaker 1: made me laugh. But we need more food. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: extend this over to it TL now, where the whole
Speaker 1: show will just be about food, the entirety of all
Speaker 1: of it. On the price picks today, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: against Blake Snell. I'm gonna go the under fantasy and
Speaker 1: a half once in his last three I'm just done
Speaker 1: with Blake Snell, so I'm gonna take the under. I
Speaker 1: like the Cubs off.
Speaker 2: I'm only bad third time through the order.
Speaker 1: Man get drated Nolan Gorman one and a half hit
Speaker 1: run RBI over. We're gonna go with that. Always love
Speaker 1: me the Nolan Gorman and Wander Franco times he plays
Speaker 1: for a run scored. I like the run scored one.
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm gonna go with today. And and
Speaker 1: I was hope, oh you know what, I don't think
Speaker 1: Joe had one up there. I was going to say
Speaker 1: his if he was here. He does have some bets though,
Speaker 1: so going over to the betting mark, if you want
Speaker 1: bettingpros dot Com slash leading off, you can join up
Speaker 1: our group. You can check out the leaderboard, you can
Speaker 1: follow our picks if you want. However, he wants to
Speaker 1: do it, but we got some bets for you here
Speaker 1: today Joe's bets. By the way, he had Brandon Black
Speaker 1: strikeouts over three and a half. It looks like that
Speaker 1: was I think it was plus money on MGM one
Speaker 1: point fifteen. He also, I don't know exactly, I think
Speaker 1: he liked Houston moneyline. Yeah, it looks like Houston money
Speaker 1: line because it's plus one ten going up against Alec Manoa.
Speaker 1: That's also kind of a sneaky one. Some bets that
Speaker 1: I have got for you guys today, I've got Tampa
Speaker 1: full run line one and a half with Seane McClanahan.
Speaker 1: I've got Saint Louis and the Rangers full run over
Speaker 1: nine and a half Wainwright, and I'm completely blanking where
Speaker 1: our other start was. Where the hell was it.
Speaker 2: Me Wayne Wright versus Martin Perez.
Speaker 1: Martin Perez, It's exactly right, Martin Perez, Wayne Wright, nine
Speaker 1: and a half full game. I actually really really like
Speaker 1: that one. And actually this is my favorite one I forgot.
Speaker 1: We found this one. If your book does it earn
Speaker 1: runs Alec Manoa over two and a half. Love that one.
Speaker 3: I mean that one that almost seems like the free
Speaker 3: money one that they give you. It's like, hey, well,
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes throw for one yard. You know, will whoever
Speaker 3: get one strikeout? The way that Manoa has been pitching recently,
Speaker 3: that seems pretty locked.
Speaker 1: Tim Salmon, by the way, I did work with Tim Salmon.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm not seeing any other See now
Speaker 1: you're just now you're just trying to make it up, Japie,
Speaker 1: trying to make.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're close enough. I like the Crawdad one. That's
Speaker 3: pretty funny.
Speaker 1: So no, no shocker that. It's like we've got some
Speaker 1: fish and we've got burgers. That's pretty much our line
Speaker 1: here for for food based name players. So that's what
Speaker 1: we're going be sticking.
Speaker 3: Why do you sound so disappointed, You're like, there's no
Speaker 3: vegan burrito Johnson.
Speaker 1: Well, what's your problem? I just want, like I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want something weird like Alex Burrito. Yeah, I'm want
Speaker 1: like a really obscure like food guy, you know, just
Speaker 1: like hey, it's it's a Tony barbecue. I want like
Speaker 1: Tony barbecue or something.
Speaker 3: Wellington Castillo beef Wellington remember that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good nickname. I mean, food nicknames are
Speaker 1: pretty great for players too, Like throwing in food ones.
