Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody. The Fantasy pros m LB were aughty
Speaker 1: by prize picks. As always is me, Joey B Joe
Speaker 1: Pizza BA. That of course is the Welsh and this
Speaker 1: is leading off Live. We hope you had a great weekend.
Speaker 1: Now we're back because it's Monday and it's time to
Speaker 1: get back to the grind. Welsh turned forty a milestone
Speaker 1: for you, and another big milestone two because we got
Speaker 1: another home run on the board for the Welsh. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy that he he's hit one. So of coursely
Speaker 1: still for mayor oh two, So you are, you are
Speaker 1: back at it. How does it feel to be alive again? Welsh?
Speaker 2: Well, it's a special moment. I want to thank everybody
Speaker 2: for being with me for the ride. It's not something
Speaker 2: I'll ever forget anytime soon. Being up at two homers
Speaker 2: near the end of April is quite an accomplishment and
Speaker 2: easily repeatable. Easily probably fifty to sixty people have done better,
Speaker 2: maybe one hundred eighty two.
Speaker 1: Yes, but you know people were here in the chat ready.
Speaker 1: I mean Matt Flood right at the top of here
Speaker 1: saying the mush is Jed dead long lived to tease
Speaker 1: I saw people on Twitter getting excited about it, and
Speaker 1: I guess here's the thing. When you were down low,
Speaker 1: you really got to know who your friends were. I
Speaker 1: think in the last couple of weeks, right.
Speaker 2: I got friends in low places and they picked me up.
Speaker 2: So I'm very thankful, thankful for all of you. Thank
Speaker 2: you to Tatis and you know, all of the respect
Speaker 2: of the game.
Speaker 3: He has to get me up on the board.
Speaker 1: There you go, All right, let's kick things off. I've
Speaker 1: got a lot of baseball talk about today, so let's
Speaker 1: move on it from the weekend action. Let's start here
Speaker 1: with Alec Manoa. We talked about buying low. He was
Speaker 1: my buy low on fantasypros dot com this week, and
Speaker 1: we do our fun little thing that Mike Mayer sends
Speaker 1: out to all the analysts of who should you buy low?
Speaker 1: Who she's so high? All that fun stuff, the Fantasy
Speaker 1: pro stuff, and Alec Minoa like, this was your window.
Speaker 1: And if you knew he was going to get right,
Speaker 1: of course he was gonna get right in Yankee Stadium,
Speaker 1: because that's what he does. He's the big hoss who
Speaker 1: shows up in big games when it matters. He was
Speaker 1: fantastic seven shutout innings for him. No decision against Yankees.
Speaker 1: I don't care Era's comeback down. Alec Meo is gonna
Speaker 1: be fine. Yeshida, well a night for him. He homered
Speaker 1: twice in one inning yesterday for Boston. One of them
Speaker 1: was a Grand Slam. This is a fun tweet from
Speaker 1: JP long Matsataka. Yashida recorded the sixty fifth instance of
Speaker 1: a player hitting two homers in an inning, the first
Speaker 1: time it was done by a Japanese born player, the
Speaker 1: second time which a home run was given his team
Speaker 1: the lead in the eighth inning or later the fourth
Speaker 1: by a rookie in the fifteenth, in which at least
Speaker 1: one of them was a Grand Slam. And he did
Speaker 1: it on the anniversary of the Tatis Senior double Grand Slam.
Speaker 1: How's that Isn't isn't baseball crazy that way?
Speaker 3: Well, baseball is beautiful in that.
Speaker 2: I mean, it would have been better if you know,
Speaker 2: Tatis would have hit two homers on that day and
Speaker 2: somebody might help somebody out if the sun did it
Speaker 2: on the Father's Day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, it was. It was pretty good. Who
Speaker 3: are you more by?
Speaker 2: I guess you were a buying on Minoa. I'm just
Speaker 2: curious if you were like more Minoa or you think
Speaker 2: Yoshida is in a good spot. The only thing just
Speaker 2: coming back. The whiffs are still down for Minoa. It's
Speaker 2: just gonna be a big part of his game. He
Speaker 2: he had nine whiffs going through that over eighty five pitches.
Speaker 2: But at CSW was a little bit up, like, do
Speaker 2: you think the bounce back from Yoshida or Manoah is
Speaker 2: going to mina impact Manoa.
Speaker 1: I actually actually on Friday went on a show in Canada,
Speaker 1: and I didn't go to Canada. I get it from
Speaker 1: New Jersey. But it was great to talk to those
Speaker 1: guys and they wanted to know. They were talking about
Speaker 1: the series coming up against the Yankees, and you know,
Speaker 1: it was on the Homestead Network, and my whole thing
Speaker 1: to them was, look, you know, he's got to limit
Speaker 1: the walks. He's got to get back to basics here.
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned. Last year was so good for Manoa.
Speaker 1: I expect a little regression. Perhaps we walked like fifty
Speaker 1: five guys last year almost two hundred innings. He had
Speaker 1: fifteen walks going into Saturday start, So I mean things,
Speaker 1: that was just way off for him. I am very
Speaker 1: confident in him. With Yashidah again, it's more of the
Speaker 1: you know, as there's more tape on you in the league,
Speaker 1: they start to figure out a little bit. It was
Speaker 1: a great night for him, not taking anything away, it
Speaker 1: was tremendous. But it's a good question. But for me,
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more Manoah showing Atonic Lobard the
Speaker 1: third of three consecutive homers off Jordan Lyle's rough day
Speaker 1: for him. Angels get a big victorygainst the Royals. Jack Flaherty,
Speaker 1: let's talk about this. A Jack Flaherty siding second victory
Speaker 1: of the season. Nine strikeouts over six innings. Is Jack back? Uh?
Speaker 3: No, Well, I mean he's back into what he's been doing.
Speaker 2: I had Jack as a trade away recently and I
Speaker 2: still hope to it because that walk and strike number
Speaker 2: were wildly different. Obviously, he is kind of like coming
Speaker 2: back through that he had. I remember, I told you guys,
Speaker 2: it's not too long ago. He had a higher walk
Speaker 2: percentage than strikeout percentage. Now that's differed a little bit
Speaker 2: twenty three percent K percentage, but it's still a seventeen
Speaker 2: percent walk rate.
Speaker 3: Era in the threes.
Speaker 2: I think it's still very Miraji because he hasn't expected
Speaker 2: era over five. It's five one seven, so it's almost
Speaker 2: two runs higher. The walk rate is through the freakin roof.
Speaker 2: People are barreling him up a little bit better. I
Speaker 2: think he's getting away with a lot. He's probably a
Speaker 2: lot better than just being like waiver wire fodder. But no, thanks,
Speaker 2: I am still a sell on Flarty.
Speaker 1: Here's one for mcgilla Gorilla. As a question of that,
Speaker 1: yet too soon to bench Machatto, I have stopped to
Speaker 1: replace him. Yeah, it's too soon. It's Manny Machado. You
Speaker 1: spent the second round pick on Manny Machado. You play
Speaker 1: Manny Machatto like, especially in these weekly leagues, Like if
Speaker 1: you want to sit him for a day, that's different.
Speaker 1: But well, you're not sitting many Machado, are you.
Speaker 3: I mean that's no, probably not. I probably can't find
Speaker 3: a space to do it.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, you can go and look at matchups. He
Speaker 2: is struggling. He is pressing so hard so far early on,
Speaker 2: I couldn't bench him for a week, but I could
Speaker 2: bench him for a day or two.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, all right, let's continue on with some
Speaker 1: of the headlines for Major League Baseball. At at least.
Speaker 1: Garcia had three homers, two doubles, and eight RBI in
Speaker 1: an enormous victory again over the A's eighteen to three
Speaker 1: on Saturday. That was crazy. Kyle Gibson matching eleven strikeouts
Speaker 1: his career high against the Orioles. Shane McClanahan had ten
Speaker 1: strikeouts over the weekend against the White Sox, who continue
Speaker 1: to scuffle. I mean, if that's putting it kindly, I
Speaker 1: don't know what else to say about them right now.
Speaker 1: Nick cassianos three for four with a pair of solo
Speaker 1: homers this weekend. James Outman continues to be hot Welsh
Speaker 1: four to five with two homers. I mean, can we
Speaker 1: say right now that James Outman looks like he could
Speaker 1: be this year's league winner? Is it too early to
Speaker 1: say that, oh?
Speaker 3: League winner?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I thought you we're gonna do like the whole Rookie
Speaker 2: of the Year stuff. Yeah, I absolutely think so.
Speaker 3: The way he hit the ball hard.
Speaker 1: Well I got him at right price wise. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, he's completely free.
Speaker 2: I mean he's completely free in all of it, outside
Speaker 2: of like the K percenters being a little bit higher.
Speaker 2: It's around twenty percent everything else in the red on Savann,
Speaker 2: I'm looking here x slug ninetieth percentile expected batting average,
Speaker 2: top twentieth percent ole hard hit is in there. He's
Speaker 2: barreling in the top eight percent of the league right now.
Speaker 2: A lot of sustainable stuff. I believe his Babbitt was
Speaker 2: up a little bit. But the guy hits the ball hard,
Speaker 2: he runs, he hits homers. He looks like a legit
Speaker 2: twenty twenty guy. He might do something of what Bobby
Speaker 2: Witt did last year, but completely free, which would make
Speaker 2: him wildly crazy as like as a rookie bye so
Speaker 2: far this year, and he's going to make that Rookie
Speaker 2: of the Year race really interesting in the mL because
Speaker 2: Miguel Vargas is out, he's barely rosterble. Cormac Carroll just
Speaker 2: stole his eighth base of the year. Right now, it's
Speaker 2: Outman him and I think Walker behind them. So it's
Speaker 2: a good race.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Single would have to get real hot here and
Speaker 1: kind of figure things out. But I mean it's only April.
Speaker 1: It's a long time. Max Munsey in the chat, our
Speaker 1: good friend Max Munsey. I know someone else with too
Speaker 1: home runs? Yes, yes, Max Monsey hit more home runs.
Speaker 1: So Max Monsey's back, all right.
Speaker 3: X wants you to know that he's here at all
Speaker 3: times because.
Speaker 1: I'm glad they were very mean to him. I was
Speaker 1: not mean personally to him, but when you come off
Speaker 1: a year, we're here at under two hundred, and then
Speaker 1: you start off the way you did. Look the San
Speaker 1: Francisco Giants lit a fire back under Max Munsey, and
Speaker 1: he's been brought back to life. So here you go.
Speaker 1: I've been really, I mean, in.
Speaker 2: The same respect where someone's like, hey, nothing personal, but
Speaker 2: and then whatever follows is usually incredibly personal.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it was that at all.
Speaker 1: He looked terrible for the first week and a half
Speaker 1: of the season. He looked terribly. He looked like the
Speaker 1: same guy as all last year. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't draft that guy and he's been
Speaker 1: a home run machine ever since. I'm glad. I mean,
Speaker 1: it is unbelievable. This is a funny one from Frankie
Speaker 1: and the chat. Max Munsey is going to be the
Speaker 1: Chris Shelton of twenty two twenty three. Perhaps Chris Shell
Speaker 1: tell him he had.
Speaker 3: An enormous mons.
Speaker 2: He does have a history of being successful. Chris Shelton
Speaker 2: came out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: But by the way, Max Munsey was literally the next
Speaker 1: guy to talk about the headlines. But now I'm not
Speaker 1: going because we already did a couple of promotions to
Speaker 1: talk about. First, Logan Allen coming up from Triple A.
Speaker 1: He made a start, six innings, one win there for him.
Speaker 1: He got eight strikeouts over in Triple A this year.
Speaker 1: He had a one two six era with a one
Speaker 1: oh five whip, twenty to k, twenty to five k
Speaker 1: walk ratio overs for fourteen innings and then you.
Speaker 2: Had seven Rockies gifts in that game, seventeen whiffs up
Speaker 2: against you know, the whiff Master and Hazus Lozzardo just
Speaker 2: want to throw out. That was very, very impressive. Logan
Speaker 2: Allen also putting out essentially a three pitch, four pitch
Speaker 2: mix of nine percent or more of all four different pitches.
Speaker 1: So good. What do you think of Brenton o'doyle coming
Speaker 1: up today from Triple A for the Rockies, twenty four
Speaker 1: year old outfielder at Triple A this year slashes three zero,
Speaker 1: six four oh four six thirty three with five dingers,
Speaker 1: eight rubies and a steal through twelve games. Can he
Speaker 1: gives life to this offense? Is bad?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a huge Brenton o' doyle guy. He
Speaker 2: definitely has big monster power. It's one of those guys
Speaker 2: in the miners. He was a little bit older almost
Speaker 2: at like every level that he was rocking. But three
Speaker 2: four six slash big homers. We'll see where the strikeouts go.
Speaker 2: He's kind of like in the mold of a lot
Speaker 2: of these guys, Like it's like the Nolan Joneses and
Speaker 2: and him, they did these big power guys guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, But as far as Logan Allen goes, you're
Speaker 1: a Logan Allen guy. You feel pretty solid about him.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean it's really mixy over there because they've got
Speaker 2: like Tanner Biby, and everybody kind of wanted Tanner Biby
Speaker 2: to do it. But Logan Allen in the early set
Speaker 2: of the season had some of the best stuff. Plus
Speaker 2: according to ENO's model, and he's a lefty that was
Speaker 2: in there, had a thirty three percent CSW in this
Speaker 2: first game, was throwing strikes. I think this is going
Speaker 2: to give him more opportunities. I like Logan Allen over
Speaker 2: Peyton Battlefield when they were putting him out there. So
Speaker 2: I think Allen has a real shot to stay in
Speaker 2: the rotation for the year.
Speaker 1: I added Bibe actually last week speculatively still out of
Speaker 1: cheap So we'll sit It's just.
Speaker 2: Like, how many guys are they going to put in
Speaker 2: that rotation? They going to put like Batonfield and Alan.
Speaker 1: To be honest, like, I look at some of the
Speaker 1: guys in the rotation and they're not throwing, you know,
Speaker 1: and that Mackenzie injury obviously opened up spots there too.
Speaker 1: But you know, outside of Bieber, does anybody get super
Speaker 1: excited about in that rotation right now?
Speaker 2: Well, in Bieber is not super exciting right well, but
Speaker 2: I mean talk about him some week in this video
Speaker 2: at some point.
Speaker 1: The video, Oh teas for the video Welsh teasing the video.
Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of questions about Joey Lukaz Headlin
Speaker 1: Lefty Kaze, Uncle Ted Talks wants to know about him too,
Speaker 1: you know, with the way David Peterson's pitched recently, and
Speaker 1: Tyler McGill has been kind of scuffling as well. You know,
Speaker 1: if Lukes puts together a couple of good starts, he
Speaker 1: could stick to the rotation. I mean, it's not out
Speaker 1: of the realm of possibilities. He's flowing around the waiver
Speaker 1: wire to pick him up today. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: insane possibility.
Speaker 3: We're a dog pile. The Mets rotation is right now
Speaker 3: that we have to talk about.
Speaker 2: We have to be like, oh, you know what, there's
Speaker 2: a real opportunity that look, David Peterson or Joey Lukeys
Speaker 2: you could be in. They went out and got Verlander
Speaker 2: and have sures you're in saying it, and we're talking
Speaker 2: about the it's just these garbage pile like Oakland a
Speaker 2: type Cincinnati Red type pitchers that are in the rotation.
Speaker 2: Though David Peterson would be the second best pitcher on
Speaker 2: the Reds right now, and we're talking about maybe.
Speaker 3: Luca You's got like an opportunity. It's it's just baffling
Speaker 3: to me. I'm not in on Lukezi.
Speaker 1: But let's take a quick break in the action to
Speaker 1: tell you about fanimal. I love live events, but I
Speaker 1: hate buying tickets. The hidden fees they suck. It's like
Speaker 1: paying for a whole other person who's not even there
Speaker 1: to be there with you at the event. And customer
Speaker 1: service is terrible and coordinating with friends is a nightmare.
Speaker 1: But then I discovered fanimal and fannamal has tickets to
Speaker 1: everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball, you name it, and Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball. And plus there's no fees. The price you
Speaker 1: see is actually the price you pay. What a concept.
Speaker 1: You heard it here first. Fanimal is the cheapest place
Speaker 1: on the internet to get MLB tickets. And we've all
Speaker 1: experienced how painful it is to coordinate going to events
Speaker 1: with friends, and I always end up front of a
Speaker 1: bunch of money and then chasing down the friends to
Speaker 1: get reimbursed and if they flake, with the whole bill.
Speaker 1: But f Animal's patentent group purchase makes it easy to
Speaker 1: split payments with your friends, so nobody's left holding the
Speaker 1: bag and you don't have to commit until your friends do.
Speaker 1: So just pick the seats, pick how many tickets you
Speaker 1: want to pay for yourself, and then send the link
Speaker 1: to your friends. And when you join your group, everyone
Speaker 1: gets started separately and your tickets are secured, so you
Speaker 1: can stack cash by inviting friends ten bucks every time
Speaker 1: someone joins your group, catching baby. So fanimal it has
Speaker 1: amazing customer service to don't take my word for it.
Speaker 1: Check out their hundreds and hundreds of five star reviews.
Speaker 1: The next time you need tickets, go to fanimal dot
Speaker 1: com or download the fnimal app and use the promo
Speaker 1: code fanimal MLB. That's fanimal MLB for twenty dollars off
Speaker 1: your first purchase. Check out fanimal and experience more. And
Speaker 1: now back to the act. I don't know who this is.
Speaker 1: Someone said, I went fulld Dylan Brooks on poking the bear.
Speaker 1: Who's Dylan Brooks.
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks is the Memphis Memphis four forward that said
Speaker 2: Lebron is nothing to him. Oh and then he punched
Speaker 2: him in the nuts and then he got ejected.
Speaker 1: And I'm not about punching a guy in the nuts.
Speaker 1: I think that that's fine. I don't know how to
Speaker 1: transition out of that, but I'm gonna try. Let's get
Speaker 1: to injuries. See what I did there, there's injuries. This
Speaker 1: one is just this just pisses me, right the hell off.
Speaker 1: Logan o'happy four to six months, torn Wright Labram. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're not going to see him this year, folks, because
Speaker 1: the Angels are not gonna be Maybe you see him
Speaker 1: in September if everything goes incredibly perfectly. Well, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I doubt it, but it's done. It's over. So upsetting.
Speaker 1: He had such a good start to the season, a
Speaker 1: power hitting catcher off the waiver wire. So sad, so sad,
Speaker 1: but you Darvish listed his day to day, expected to
Speaker 1: make his next start after leaving with the hamstring cramped.
Speaker 1: Tim Anderson will head on his rehab assignment soon, so
Speaker 1: a little ahead of schedule. That's good. Tony Gonsolin joined
Speaker 1: the Dodgers in Chicago on Sunday, so it looks like
Speaker 1: he is going to be moving closer here. He was
Speaker 1: pulled after just fifty seven pitches on Thursday for his
Speaker 1: rehab start, so it looks like, maybe, you know, they're
Speaker 1: kind of moving to that next start being with the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: which would be good for the Dodgers. Alex Kierloff could
Speaker 1: be optioned to Triple A once he concludes his minor
Speaker 1: league rehab assignment. So let's talk about this here, Twins
Speaker 1: offense obviously looking for something here, Alex Kiroloff. Is I
Speaker 1: think in this, you know, same range that Jared Kelnig
Speaker 1: was where eventually you've got to do something. Is Kiroloff
Speaker 1: now on the other side of that, where it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's never gonna happen. Have we gotten there yet, or
Speaker 1: he's still holding any sort of torch that kiral Looff
Speaker 1: can somehow make a career for himself in the big leaues.
Speaker 1: Because it's the fact that he's coming back. It might
Speaker 1: just say at triple A, I don't know like that
Speaker 1: that's starting to bother me a little bit.
Speaker 2: In terms of his stock, Yeah, I had to look like,
Speaker 2: what is the current roster construction because Joey Gallow's back,
Speaker 2: he's logging up first. I mean, I think when you
Speaker 2: take a look at it, you can see like there
Speaker 2: is no spot for him. And here's the number one
Speaker 2: thing that Alex Kierloff needs right now. He needs it
Speaker 2: bats to get going.
Speaker 3: So from a twin.
Speaker 2: Standpoint, it actually would be crappy for them to bring
Speaker 2: him up and not play him because where the hell's
Speaker 2: he going to play? Joe Buckston's the DH. You're not
Speaker 2: gonna put him in an outfield. Trevor Larnak is playing better.
Speaker 2: There's no outfield, there's no infield, there's no DH. So
Speaker 2: I actually see why the move is there. But he
Speaker 2: is getting closer and closer to he needs to, you know,
Speaker 2: s or get off the pot type of situation. You know,
Speaker 2: you need to start producing three homers pretty good in
Speaker 2: Triple A. He's starting to hit again, but he's perpetually injured.
Speaker 2: I'm always a fan of him. I interviewed him like
Speaker 2: four or five years ago. His dad is a hitting coach.
Speaker 2: He's a really smart hitter, but those risks just keep
Speaker 2: falling apart.
Speaker 3: He continuously has issues. I think he can't hit, but
Speaker 3: it is getting indick.
Speaker 2: It is getting into Keller Nick Keller nick I said
Speaker 2: it like you kell Nick's situation of like we've got
Speaker 2: to get this going at some point, but he's got
Speaker 2: to have opportunity and he's not going to have that
Speaker 2: if he's sitting on the bench in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Before we get some more injuries. Brian's got a question.
Speaker 1: Lance Lynn wound up on waivers in my league. No brainer,
Speaker 1: pick him up, Yes, pick him up. He's got two
Speaker 1: starts this week, of course you pick him up. Well,
Speaker 1: we talked about the splits. The two bad starts were
Speaker 1: the two day games where he was actually just obliterated.
Speaker 1: So I'm just yes, you pick him up. That's just
Speaker 1: it's an easy thing to do. And I again, I
Speaker 1: haven't talked about this, but it looks like Mike Maher
Speaker 1: wants to talk about this, is waiting for Joe to
Speaker 1: talk about his heater in the betting world. And I
Speaker 1: know it's a lot of people follow me over the
Speaker 1: last couple of days over in the Betting pros dot
Speaker 1: com and if you haven't already downloaded the app, and
Speaker 1: once again, you know, go join our little group there
Speaker 1: because it's a good time. Betting pros dot com slash
Speaker 1: leading off. Everybody seems to be there. Hey, I'm on
Speaker 1: a heater, but again, this is my job and you
Speaker 1: know it's supposed to be right, so I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: take too many victory laps. I'm wrong, Max Moncy, just.
Speaker 2: Like saving that was the most Like you saved a
Speaker 2: girl from the water, and you're like, no big.
Speaker 1: Deal, no big deal, whatever, It's just Monday afternoon. Let's
Speaker 1: get to Carlos Rodan. He played catch, so did I
Speaker 1: this weekend? So I know what that means. Oh, we
Speaker 1: could take that with every grain of salt you want.
Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra with a biceps issue, he played catch
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The plan is for him uh to throw
Speaker 1: a bullpen session on Monday, it seems to will be
Speaker 1: what's going on, and then hope that with this tightness
Speaker 1: that things go well and then he can make his
Speaker 1: next start. So obviously, if you missed this, he was
Speaker 1: scratched on Saturday because of the bicep tightness. Do you
Speaker 1: think this has something to do with what we've seen
Speaker 1: out of him recently, because it's starting to feel like
Speaker 1: we're connecting the dots and maybe an il stint could
Speaker 1: be out there, so he becomes a risky asset. Is
Speaker 1: this a risky asset you want to trade for and
Speaker 1: take that risk or one that you're running the other
Speaker 1: way from? Because are we worried that something's breaking down
Speaker 1: here with a guy who's been one of the most
Speaker 1: durable pictures in baseball for the last few years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I think, like what you just said,
Speaker 2: the durable side is more of what I would bet
Speaker 2: on than the breakdown side.
Speaker 3: I think he's been he's kind of exposed, kind of
Speaker 3: like in a in a care off.
Speaker 2: We're talking about him the Minah sense, where you know,
Speaker 2: this is another one of those pictures that does not
Speaker 2: have great high k per nines, and I think that
Speaker 2: just kind of minimalizes his value if he's going to
Speaker 2: get up hit up a little bit. So I think
Speaker 2: he's little just a little bit more susceptible if you've
Speaker 2: got low strike and obviously his game is going deep,
Speaker 2: and if he doesn't go deep, it's just going to
Speaker 2: kind of bring everything down.
Speaker 3: I would definitely be interested in him. I'd be way
Speaker 3: more interested in buying him than I would a guy
Speaker 3: like Manoa. They're different costs.
Speaker 2: My only problem is I don't know or think anybody
Speaker 2: is really selling Sandy al Contra for like a good discount.
Speaker 2: And I would want a decent discount, not that you
Speaker 2: have to be like, oh, I'm going to give you
Speaker 2: a hundred green, but like it's got to be a
Speaker 2: decent discount off of one.
Speaker 3: Of the top pitchers in all of baseball.
Speaker 2: I would want to take a buye and I would
Speaker 2: want to take an opportunity, a chance that he's going
Speaker 2: to come back from the injury, because the guy just
Speaker 2: goes deep into games, hopefully that offense can get going.
Speaker 3: I would I would buy cheap.
Speaker 1: I'm I think I'm where you are too. Mike Mayor
Speaker 1: and the chat Joe graduated to push notification status this weekend.
Speaker 1: I almost spin up my drink when I saw the
Speaker 1: phone buzz with a Joey P notification.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't seen any of those. I've been essentially
Speaker 2: sixty percent plus. But you apparently got on such a
Speaker 2: good streak.
Speaker 3: They had to.
Speaker 1: Seven or something like games.
Speaker 3: Are you betting a day one?
Speaker 1: No, I'm usually at four or five. Partically do my
Speaker 1: four or five investments. It depends on today's dayting stuff,
Speaker 1: boys and girls. I do not like the prop market today.
Speaker 1: It sucks funny the other way, but I do like
Speaker 1: some things here of the games, uh for fun here
Speaker 1: mookie Bets starting at shortstop batting leading off once again.
Speaker 1: So here we go. The mookie Bets shortstop time is
Speaker 1: upon us. This is wild stuff. Also, I was prepared
Speaker 1: to do this because you know, we were weren't a
Speaker 1: little chat Mike Mayor, myself and the Welsh, and we
Speaker 1: were talking about, you know, things start to go Welsh's
Speaker 1: way here. Things were really you know, Welsh might have
Speaker 1: to become a blues singer because they can't get a
Speaker 1: whole run call all these things. So I want to
Speaker 1: know what Welsh's blues name was going to be? And
Speaker 1: what you do is, we have a list of all
Speaker 1: these things, you know, these things you see on the internet.
Speaker 1: What's your blues name? You take your first initial and
Speaker 1: then you match it up in your middle initial. So
Speaker 1: mine was a funny one. Mine was was Bonie Gumbo Bradley.
Speaker 1: That was m good old Bonnie Gumbo bone gumb Bradley.
Speaker 1: Now Welsh, what was your blues name?
Speaker 2: By the way, all right, so again this was like
Speaker 2: first initial, a first name, middle name, and last name
Speaker 2: to create it.
Speaker 3: And my blues name was Sticky bad Boy Bailey. I'd
Speaker 3: be Sticky bad Boy Bailey was good Dickey bad Boy Bailey.
Speaker 1: I think he played for UH. I think he played
Speaker 1: in the twenties.
Speaker 2: It sounds one hundred percent like like nineteen ten second
Speaker 2: baseman for whatever you know, the Braves team that wasn't
Speaker 2: called the Braves and Sticky.
Speaker 3: Bad Boy Brailey Bailey. He struck out seven and won
Speaker 3: two innings the house.
Speaker 1: You have to do an old timey voice, though, Sticky
Speaker 1: Sticky Badley show boy, that bad boy show is a
Speaker 1: heck of a ball player.
Speaker 3: Stick A bad boy Bayley, look a bad boy what
Speaker 3: was Mayor's I don't know, Mayor jail house Dog Lee.
Speaker 1: There is jail house Dog Lee.
Speaker 2: That it'd be nice that we could put this in
Speaker 2: the comments so everybody could everybody could see the little
Speaker 2: post of what's your blues name?
Speaker 3: You could use all the initials you guys, could you
Speaker 3: know what?
Speaker 1: Let's do discord do me a favor there once you
Speaker 1: earn your money there, Mike Mayer, go put it in
Speaker 1: our discord fantasypros dot COM's last chat, and let's see
Speaker 1: what everybody who's in that chat their blues name is.
Speaker 1: Let's continue on here with something again. Joe's tough. Guys.
Speaker 1: We haven't done this in a while because there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of tough people out there nowadays. But the
Speaker 1: Pirates added thirteen year minor leaguer to their roster, thirty
Speaker 1: three year old Drew Magie. I believe it's how you
Speaker 1: say it could finally make his first appearance in the
Speaker 1: show after thirteen years in the minor leagues. He doesn't
Speaker 1: have a great I mean, it's almost kind of stunning
Speaker 1: that the guy's been in the minor leagues for thirteen years.
Speaker 1: He must have been the most incredible teammate, maybe a
Speaker 1: good defensive player. I don't know, because a look at
Speaker 1: the stats on this guy, Like, how did this guy
Speaker 1: even get there? It's a great story. I want to
Speaker 1: see him get a start. I want to see him
Speaker 1: get a moment like in a hit, just just because
Speaker 1: when you're sticking the baby that long, Yeah, Like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: you're thirty three years old, thirteen years thirteen years in
Speaker 1: the minor leagues, Welsh, that's a long time to not
Speaker 1: give up on your dream. And you know, obviously he's
Speaker 1: never gonna be a major league player of note, But
Speaker 1: can he get that one day in the sun, you know,
Speaker 1: that moonlight Graham kind of moment. I think he can.
Speaker 1: I think that'd be great.
Speaker 2: I love the idea of it too, because, like, you
Speaker 2: know what, if he got to stick around, he got
Speaker 2: to make that money for a little wile by the way,
Speaker 2: went to Arizona State. Didn't even realize that went to
Speaker 2: Arizona State. The idea of being able to stick around
Speaker 2: that long too, no big deal. But like you got
Speaker 2: to have someone in the family that's making some money.
Speaker 2: He almost seems like maybe he's a stay at home dad,
Speaker 2: Like maybe maybe significant other is a after or something
Speaker 2: like that, because you're not getting paid, especially for being
Speaker 2: a thirty three year old being in the minors this long.
Speaker 3: But it is very very cool.
Speaker 1: Three up and three down for the weekend. Matt Carpenter
Speaker 1: three for three with a homer, two doubles, five RBI.
Speaker 1: On Sunday, Jacob deGrom looked great eleven strikeouts against the A's,
Speaker 1: but still eleven strikeouts, so he looks healthy. Yashida we
Speaker 1: mentioned his big day three down Jose Urina three and
Speaker 1: two thirds innings, four earned, two homers. He gave up.
Speaker 1: He's zero and four with a nine to eight ERA.
Speaker 1: Matt Bush got through a third of an inning, four
Speaker 1: earned two runs, blown save loss eight to two ERA
Speaker 1: for him at Chris flex In the gift that keeps
Speaker 1: on given the gotta get this guy in the rotation Welsh.
Speaker 1: His ERA is eight point eight six six earned in
Speaker 1: four innings, nine hits, two homers. No good. Let's go
Speaker 1: move away from these guys because they're terrible.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they only they only had like
Speaker 2: awesome minor league pitchers, like guys like pre Lander Baroa
Speaker 2: or you know, Emerson Hancock or Bryson Miller, price Miller.
Speaker 1: Had sounds like somebody who was a pilgrim, wasn't he one?
Speaker 3: Actually sounds like sounds like one of these blues names.
Speaker 1: We should do a Pilgrim or minor leaguer segment on
Speaker 1: the show this week.
Speaker 3: Do you know a lot of Pilgrims? I have Google.
Speaker 1: I can google some pilgrim names, Pilgrim or or minor leaguer.
Speaker 1: We'll see if we can get Welsh on that later.

Speaker 1: people today on the Prize Picks?
Speaker 2: All right, on the Price Picks, we're doing a combo
Speaker 2: strikeout Taj Bradley and Chris sale TOAs Bradley strikeouts propped
Speaker 2: up a little bit too. You talk about the prop
Speaker 2: market a little bit tougher.
Speaker 1: It's juice as absurd. We'll get to that in a second.
Speaker 3: And he's juiced.
Speaker 2: Chris Sale looked good the other day with the strikeouts.
Speaker 2: Taj Bradley's been pretty consistent. It's at eleven and a half,
Speaker 2: so you got to average six between the two. I
Speaker 2: like that opportunity, so I'm gonna go with Taj and Sale.
Speaker 2: Combo strikeouts is one. I'm gonna go with Austin Riley's
Speaker 2: hit run and RBI at one and a half over,
Speaker 2: so we just need one hit one RBI we're good
Speaker 2: to go. And Mike trout score eight and a half.
Speaker 2: I believe that is up against ken Waldachuck, so we
Speaker 2: will take that trout score, Riley hit run on RBI,
Speaker 2: and Taj Sales strikeouts. That's my prize picks for today,
Speaker 2: my friends.
Speaker 1: I liked that. I liked that combo when you did.
Speaker 1: That was not up on the board when I was
Speaker 1: up this morning doing the show together. That.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they usually are a little bit closer tip for everybody.
Speaker 2: They're little bit sort of game times. If you guys
Speaker 2: want to look for those combo ones.
Speaker 1: Combo one is much better because I couldn't find one
Speaker 1: I liked on Bradley or some other guys but I
Speaker 1: like that one guy's got Chrysale by himself at the
Speaker 1: six and a half on the over. We got Rafael Devers,
Speaker 1: who I love today eight and a half. And you
Speaker 1: got a small number on Matt Olson the seven. Good
Speaker 1: matchup for him against the right hit a picture today.
Speaker 1: I'm in on Matt Olson today. Best bets of the
Speaker 1: day again I love. I saw so many people over

Speaker 1: for you today is I got a three leg parlay
Speaker 1: of the day. You should bet these individually too, That's
Speaker 1: what I did. But if you want to put them together,
Speaker 1: you can you get a nice number together. Red Sox
Speaker 1: with Chris Sale on the money line, the Rangers with
Speaker 1: Nadiaevaldi on the mound against the Reds on the money line,
Speaker 1: and the Lanta Braves heavy favorites with Spencer Schreider on
Speaker 1: the money line. You put those three things together, you
Speaker 1: get plus three sixty nine over betting p You can
Speaker 1: do it or you can put it on any site.
Speaker 1: Put those three together, it's a really good three and
Speaker 1: a half to one basically, and I think those three
Speaker 1: things are locks today. Welsh, what do you have for
Speaker 1: the people? Because I got no props today. Betting is
Speaker 1: ugly today.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't have a lot.
Speaker 2: I will tell you again the best thing to do
Speaker 2: when you sign up if you really care about the bets,
Speaker 2: the betting pros, you'll get the updates. I will add
Speaker 2: as time goes on and I have a little bit
Speaker 2: more time to look over the market.
Speaker 3: I got two things.
Speaker 2: One thing I locked into last night was the Cleveland
Speaker 2: Colorado through the first five innings four and a half
Speaker 2: run over and Austin Gomber's pitching. It's not in Colorado,
Speaker 2: but Austin Gomber's pitching, and that seems like a really
Speaker 2: solid bet. Cleveland's offense been a little bit dicey, but
Speaker 2: it put up four in the first five yesterday, and
Speaker 2: they got Kalquond Trill who gives up some runs as well.
Speaker 2: So I really like that one. That's my favorite straight
Speaker 2: bet so far. And then I'm kind of in on
Speaker 2: Ronald the Kunya total bases over that's plus money. I
Speaker 2: got that on the Betting Pros prop cheat sheet, which
Speaker 2: you guys can check out as well. And if I
Speaker 2: drop any more, which I made drop one or two more,
Speaker 2: I will most likely have that updated on the Betting
Speaker 2: pros Leader group board. And if you follow me, which
Speaker 2: more people can definitely follow me, you'll be notified and
Speaker 2: you can check out all of my bets.
Speaker 3: So go and do that.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite things for the chat here. Wonky
Speaker 1: Penguin Curly harp Smith is her name in the blues world.
Speaker 1: She says it's awful and I'm willing to change my
Speaker 1: actual name to get a better blues name. So there
Speaker 1: you go, Wonky.
Speaker 3: Do you like a wonky like? Do Wonky and then
Speaker 3: do Wonky?
Speaker 1: Why penguin? Yeah?

Speaker 1: are all over the place, so you can kind of
Speaker 1: slide things all over and look for good things. Nadiavaldi
Speaker 1: nine point three. I like that. It's a good ROI
Speaker 1: Spencer Strider eleven two. Look, it's gonna be super expensive,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna go after it. That's fine, but you
Speaker 1: look for or somebody to offset. Here's what's so injuring interesting.
Speaker 1: Jose your Cuidi over on f D today. Eight K
Speaker 1: TODG Bradley ten point two already I couldn't believe against
Speaker 1: the Astros ten point two for TODJ. Bradley, Did that
Speaker 1: number surprise you because it's the hell out of me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a it's a wild number, especially
Speaker 2: against the Astros. I think they're definitely playing into the
Speaker 2: two dominant starts. For Todje Bradley, I would be avoiding here.
Speaker 1: You go hell or high water, says did.
Speaker 3: It's amazing. It's up here. It's big Sugar Bradley.
Speaker 1: Big big Sugar Bradley.
Speaker 3: That's the wonky Penguin as a name is much better.
Speaker 1: Big Sugar Dadd Bradley is very good. Daddy played Sugar
Speaker 1: Daddy Bradley. He played center in the in the A
Speaker 1: B A. I'm pretty sure. All right, Let's continue on here,
Speaker 1: dfs Wise stacks of the day, the Angels, the Atlanta Braves,
Speaker 1: good spot today, value plays good Roy hitting at the
Speaker 1: top of the order for the Angels for Taylor Ward
Speaker 1: at two point nine, Kid against the righty two point five,
Speaker 1: and Eddi Rizzario in the middle of that Atlanta line
Speaker 1: which just two point two. Let's go to the home
Speaker 1: run board, Welsh, because we've got home run calls from
Speaker 1: the weekend. See where things are now. I know you
Speaker 1: got on the board now, You're not on the official
Speaker 1: high end board. No, but you got a home run
Speaker 1: VHb Daddy at the top of eleven. You got Prime
Speaker 1: Time and Carlson at ten right behind. I am still
Speaker 1: I think I'm at four is where I'm at right now.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but does it matter. I'm not
Speaker 1: on the board yet either, so we're both in the
Speaker 1: same place. I think I will get on the board
Speaker 1: today though with a dinger, because I'm going with Matt
Speaker 1: Olsen in this game, Welsh, what do you have for
Speaker 1: the people?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Mike Trout. Mike Trout up again,
Speaker 2: a good matchup, hitting eight hundred against Waldachuck.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with the.
Speaker 2: Trout to get me on the board for three and
Speaker 2: let's start the week off. I am going to potentially double.
Speaker 2: I want to double my home run total, not go
Speaker 2: from two to four. I want to go from two
Speaker 2: to six this week. So I'm trying to smash some dingers.
Speaker 2: My friend Mike Trout's going to do it for me today.
Speaker 1: And Mayor went with Ronald Akunya today, who was also
Speaker 1: yelling at me and saying, Joe, we have a meeting

Speaker 1: of baseball. It's good to see Minola get back on track.
Speaker 1: I do think he builds on that Samuel Contra interesting
Speaker 1: buy opportunity, some intriguing starts. Today we get Spencer Schreider
Speaker 1: on the Mound, by the way, his numbers for Cy
Speaker 1: Young have really gone in a whole other direction. There
Speaker 1: they have two thirds less than they were to start
Speaker 1: the season. Over on Betting Pros. By the way too,
