WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off April 24th, 2023 (Ep. 654) 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.240 Welcome in everybody. The Fantasy pros m LB were aughty 0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.520 by prize picks. As always is me, Joey B Joe 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:15.400 Pizza BA. That of course is the Welsh and this 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.599 is leading off Live. We hope you had a great weekend. 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.279 Now we're back because it's Monday and it's time to 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:25.239 get back to the grind. Welsh turned forty a milestone 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.440 for you, and another big milestone two because we got 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:30.480 another home run on the board for the Welsh. I'm 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.600 so happy that he he's hit one. So of coursely 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.080 still for mayor oh two, So you are, you are 0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.560 back at it. How does it feel to be alive again? Welsh? 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:44.520 Well, it's a special moment. I want to thank everybody 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.480 for being with me for the ride. It's not something 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.200 I'll ever forget anytime soon. Being up at two homers 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.960 near the end of April is quite an accomplishment and 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:58.760 easily repeatable. Easily probably fifty to sixty people have done better, 0:00:58.880 --> 0:00:59.760 maybe one hundred eighty two. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.200 Yes, but you know people were here in the chat ready. 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:03.720 I mean Matt Flood right at the top of here 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.319 saying the mush is Jed dead long lived to tease 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.280 I saw people on Twitter getting excited about it, and 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.120 I guess here's the thing. When you were down low, 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.120 you really got to know who your friends were. I 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:14.760 think in the last couple of weeks, right. 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.319 I got friends in low places and they picked me up. 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.280 So I'm very thankful, thankful for all of you. Thank 0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.360 you to Tatis and you know, all of the respect 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:23.720 of the game. 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.200 He has to get me up on the board. 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:27.759 There you go, All right, let's kick things off. I've 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.039 got a lot of baseball talk about today, so let's 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.679 move on it from the weekend action. Let's start here 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.480 with Alec Manoa. We talked about buying low. He was 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:38.600 my buy low on fantasypros dot com this week, and 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.600 we do our fun little thing that Mike Mayer sends 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.720 out to all the analysts of who should you buy low? 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.959 Who she's so high? All that fun stuff, the Fantasy 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.680 pro stuff, and Alec Minoa like, this was your window. 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:48.880 And if you knew he was going to get right, 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.480 of course he was gonna get right in Yankee Stadium, 0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.560 because that's what he does. He's the big hoss who 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.080 shows up in big games when it matters. He was 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:59.280 fantastic seven shutout innings for him. No decision against Yankees. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.000 I don't care Era's comeback down. Alec Meo is gonna 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.600 be fine. Yeshida, well a night for him. He homered 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.680 twice in one inning yesterday for Boston. One of them 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.520 was a Grand Slam. This is a fun tweet from 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:15.200 JP long Matsataka. Yashida recorded the sixty fifth instance of 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.440 a player hitting two homers in an inning, the first 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.480 time it was done by a Japanese born player, the 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:21.840 second time which a home run was given his team 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.760 the lead in the eighth inning or later the fourth 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.880 by a rookie in the fifteenth, in which at least 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.480 one of them was a Grand Slam. And he did 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:33.120 it on the anniversary of the Tatis Senior double Grand Slam. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.520 How's that Isn't isn't baseball crazy that way? 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.240 Well, baseball is beautiful in that. 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.520 I mean, it would have been better if you know, 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.960 Tatis would have hit two homers on that day and 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.320 somebody might help somebody out if the sun did it 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:45.560 on the Father's Day. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.799 Yeah, but no, it was. It was pretty good. Who 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.120 are you more by? 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:50.920 I guess you were a buying on Minoa. I'm just 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.400 curious if you were like more Minoa or you think 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.160 Yoshida is in a good spot. The only thing just 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.720 coming back. The whiffs are still down for Minoa. It's 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:58.880 just gonna be a big part of his game. He 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.240 he had nine whiffs going through that over eighty five pitches. 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.360 But at CSW was a little bit up, like, do 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.000 you think the bounce back from Yoshida or Manoah is 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.360 going to mina impact Manoa. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.359 I actually actually on Friday went on a show in Canada, 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:13.960 and I didn't go to Canada. I get it from 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.720 New Jersey. But it was great to talk to those 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.480 guys and they wanted to know. They were talking about 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.880 the series coming up against the Yankees, and you know, 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.440 it was on the Homestead Network, and my whole thing 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:24.799 to them was, look, you know, he's got to limit 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.639 the walks. He's got to get back to basics here. 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.840 I'm not concerned. Last year was so good for Manoa. 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.959 I expect a little regression. Perhaps we walked like fifty 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.880 five guys last year almost two hundred innings. He had 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.800 fifteen walks going into Saturday start, So I mean things, 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.880 that was just way off for him. I am very 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.880 confident in him. With Yashidah again, it's more of the 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:46.920 you know, as there's more tape on you in the league, 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.360 they start to figure out a little bit. It was 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.160 a great night for him, not taking anything away, it 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:51.840 was tremendous. But it's a good question. But for me, 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.680 I'm a little bit more Manoah showing Atonic Lobard the 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.960 third of three consecutive homers off Jordan Lyle's rough day 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.240 for him. Angels get a big victorygainst the Royals. Jack Flaherty, 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.120 let's talk about this. A Jack Flaherty siding second victory 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:10.200 of the season. Nine strikeouts over six innings. Is Jack back? Uh? 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.000 No, Well, I mean he's back into what he's been doing. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.720 I had Jack as a trade away recently and I 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.960 still hope to it because that walk and strike number 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.359 were wildly different. Obviously, he is kind of like coming 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.200 back through that he had. I remember, I told you guys, 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.000 it's not too long ago. He had a higher walk 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:30.920 percentage than strikeout percentage. Now that's differed a little bit 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.039 twenty three percent K percentage, but it's still a seventeen 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:35.240 percent walk rate. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:37.640 Era in the threes. 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.520 I think it's still very Miraji because he hasn't expected 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.479 era over five. It's five one seven, so it's almost 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.760 two runs higher. The walk rate is through the freakin roof. 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.120 People are barreling him up a little bit better. I 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.000 think he's getting away with a lot. He's probably a 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.919 lot better than just being like waiver wire fodder. But no, thanks, 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.520 I am still a sell on Flarty. 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.840 Here's one for mcgilla Gorilla. As a question of that, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.880 yet too soon to bench Machatto, I have stopped to 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.320 replace him. Yeah, it's too soon. It's Manny Machado. You 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.640 spent the second round pick on Manny Machado. You play 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.240 Manny Machatto like, especially in these weekly leagues, Like if 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.440 you want to sit him for a day, that's different. 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.600 But well, you're not sitting many Machado, are you. 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.680 I mean that's no, probably not. I probably can't find 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:20.480 a space to do it. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:21.120 But I don't know. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:22.680 I mean, you can go and look at matchups. He 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.960 is struggling. He is pressing so hard so far early on, 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.400 I couldn't bench him for a week, but I could 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:29.480 bench him for a day or two. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.560 But yeah, no, all right, let's continue on with some 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.560 of the headlines for Major League Baseball. At at least. 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.920 Garcia had three homers, two doubles, and eight RBI in 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:41.039 an enormous victory again over the A's eighteen to three 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:45.360 on Saturday. That was crazy. Kyle Gibson matching eleven strikeouts 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.640 his career high against the Orioles. Shane McClanahan had ten 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.200 strikeouts over the weekend against the White Sox, who continue 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.120 to scuffle. I mean, if that's putting it kindly, I 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.920 don't know what else to say about them right now. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:58.760 Nick cassianos three for four with a pair of solo 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.080 homers this weekend. James Outman continues to be hot Welsh 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.240 four to five with two homers. I mean, can we 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.039 say right now that James Outman looks like he could 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:09.680 be this year's league winner? Is it too early to 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:10.760 say that, oh? 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:11.279 League winner? 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:11.480 Yeah? 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:12.880 I thought you we're gonna do like the whole Rookie 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:14.720 of the Year stuff. Yeah, I absolutely think so. 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.400 The way he hit the ball hard. 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.400 Well I got him at right price wise. Yeah. 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:19.520 No, he's completely free. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:21.799 I mean he's completely free in all of it, outside 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.640 of like the K percenters being a little bit higher. 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.960 It's around twenty percent everything else in the red on Savann, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.880 I'm looking here x slug ninetieth percentile expected batting average, 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.720 top twentieth percent ole hard hit is in there. He's 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.680 barreling in the top eight percent of the league right now. 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.760 A lot of sustainable stuff. I believe his Babbitt was 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.520 up a little bit. But the guy hits the ball hard, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.200 he runs, he hits homers. He looks like a legit 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.279 twenty twenty guy. He might do something of what Bobby 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.960 Witt did last year, but completely free, which would make 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.440 him wildly crazy as like as a rookie bye so 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.520 far this year, and he's going to make that Rookie 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.440 of the Year race really interesting in the mL because 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.240 Miguel Vargas is out, he's barely rosterble. Cormac Carroll just 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.480 stole his eighth base of the year. Right now, it's 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.120 Outman him and I think Walker behind them. So it's 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:07.640 a good race. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.920 Yeah, Single would have to get real hot here and 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.160 kind of figure things out. But I mean it's only April. 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.080 It's a long time. Max Munsey in the chat, our 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:16.960 good friend Max Munsey. I know someone else with too 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.880 home runs? Yes, yes, Max Monsey hit more home runs. 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.000 So Max Monsey's back, all right. 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:22.600 X wants you to know that he's here at all 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:23.440 times because. 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.560 I'm glad they were very mean to him. I was 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.560 not mean personally to him, but when you come off 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.000 a year, we're here at under two hundred, and then 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.960 you start off the way you did. Look the San 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.640 Francisco Giants lit a fire back under Max Munsey, and 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.880 he's been brought back to life. So here you go. 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:37.080 I've been really, I mean, in. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.800 The same respect where someone's like, hey, nothing personal, but 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.520 and then whatever follows is usually incredibly personal. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:44.760 I don't I don't think it was that at all. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.360 He looked terrible for the first week and a half 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:47.800 of the season. He looked terribly. He looked like the 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.000 same guy as all last year. And I was like, 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.120 I'm glad I didn't draft that guy and he's been 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:54.000 a home run machine ever since. I'm glad. I mean, 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.120 it is unbelievable. This is a funny one from Frankie 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.880 and the chat. Max Munsey is going to be the 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.120 Chris Shelton of twenty two twenty three. Perhaps Chris Shell 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:02.960 tell him he had. 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:03.560 An enormous mons. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.160 He does have a history of being successful. Chris Shelton 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:06.800 came out of nowhere. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:09.240 But by the way, Max Munsey was literally the next 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:10.720 guy to talk about the headlines. But now I'm not 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.400 going because we already did a couple of promotions to 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.720 talk about. First, Logan Allen coming up from Triple A. 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.920 He made a start, six innings, one win there for him. 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.360 He got eight strikeouts over in Triple A this year. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:23.840 He had a one two six era with a one 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.360 oh five whip, twenty to k, twenty to five k 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.400 walk ratio overs for fourteen innings and then you. 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:33.120 Had seven Rockies gifts in that game, seventeen whiffs up 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:35.800 against you know, the whiff Master and Hazus Lozzardo just 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.679 want to throw out. That was very, very impressive. Logan 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.040 Allen also putting out essentially a three pitch, four pitch 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.920 mix of nine percent or more of all four different pitches. 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.520 So good. What do you think of Brenton o'doyle coming 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.520 up today from Triple A for the Rockies, twenty four 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.560 year old outfielder at Triple A this year slashes three zero, 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.080 six four oh four six thirty three with five dingers, 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.240 eight rubies and a steal through twelve games. Can he 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.680 gives life to this offense? Is bad? 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.760 Yeah, I'm not a huge Brenton o' doyle guy. He 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.800 definitely has big monster power. It's one of those guys 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.360 in the miners. He was a little bit older almost 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.079 at like every level that he was rocking. But three 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.439 four six slash big homers. We'll see where the strikeouts go. 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.400 He's kind of like in the mold of a lot 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.760 of these guys, Like it's like the Nolan Joneses and 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.280 and him, they did these big power guys guys. 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.480 Yeah. Yeah, But as far as Logan Allen goes, you're 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.560 a Logan Allen guy. You feel pretty solid about him. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:29.080 Yeah. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.600 I mean it's really mixy over there because they've got 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.400 like Tanner Biby, and everybody kind of wanted Tanner Biby 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:36.400 to do it. But Logan Allen in the early set 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.680 of the season had some of the best stuff. Plus 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.280 according to ENO's model, and he's a lefty that was 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.520 in there, had a thirty three percent CSW in this 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.640 first game, was throwing strikes. I think this is going 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.079 to give him more opportunities. I like Logan Allen over 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.199 Peyton Battlefield when they were putting him out there. So 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:51.760 I think Allen has a real shot to stay in 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:52.760 the rotation for the year. 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.280 I added Bibe actually last week speculatively still out of 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:57.520 cheap So we'll sit It's just. 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:58.800 Like, how many guys are they going to put in 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.559 that rotation? They going to put like Batonfield and Alan. 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.120 To be honest, like, I look at some of the 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.439 guys in the rotation and they're not throwing, you know, 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.439 and that Mackenzie injury obviously opened up spots there too. 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.480 But you know, outside of Bieber, does anybody get super 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:13.800 excited about in that rotation right now? 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.920 Well, in Bieber is not super exciting right well, but 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.079 I mean talk about him some week in this video 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:19.920 at some point. 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.120 The video, Oh teas for the video Welsh teasing the video. 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.959 I'm getting a lot of questions about Joey Lukaz Headlin 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.160 Lefty Kaze, Uncle Ted Talks wants to know about him too, 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.520 you know, with the way David Peterson's pitched recently, and 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:37.079 Tyler McGill has been kind of scuffling as well. You know, 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.880 if Lukes puts together a couple of good starts, he 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.920 could stick to the rotation. I mean, it's not out 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.120 of the realm of possibilities. He's flowing around the waiver 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:45.520 wire to pick him up today. I don't think that's 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:46.880 insane possibility. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.880 We're a dog pile. The Mets rotation is right now 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:51.079 that we have to talk about. 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:52.280 We have to be like, oh, you know what, there's 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.920 a real opportunity that look, David Peterson or Joey Lukeys 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.840 you could be in. They went out and got Verlander 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:58.840 and have sures you're in saying it, and we're talking 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.599 about the it's just these garbage pile like Oakland a 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.880 type Cincinnati Red type pitchers that are in the rotation. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.920 Though David Peterson would be the second best pitcher on 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.440 the Reds right now, and we're talking about maybe. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.480 Luca You's got like an opportunity. It's it's just baffling 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:16.920 to me. I'm not in on Lukezi. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.760 But let's take a quick break in the action to 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.679 tell you about fanimal. I love live events, but I 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.640 hate buying tickets. The hidden fees they suck. It's like 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.679 paying for a whole other person who's not even there 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.240 to be there with you at the event. And customer 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.760 service is terrible and coordinating with friends is a nightmare. 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.360 But then I discovered fanimal and fannamal has tickets to 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:40.040 everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball, you name it, and Major 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.040 League Baseball. And plus there's no fees. The price you 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.640 see is actually the price you pay. What a concept. 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.280 You heard it here first. Fanimal is the cheapest place 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.040 on the internet to get MLB tickets. And we've all 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.080 experienced how painful it is to coordinate going to events 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.040 with friends, and I always end up front of a 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.880 bunch of money and then chasing down the friends to 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.720 get reimbursed and if they flake, with the whole bill. 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.640 But f Animal's patentent group purchase makes it easy to 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.880 split payments with your friends, so nobody's left holding the 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.439 bag and you don't have to commit until your friends do. 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.880 So just pick the seats, pick how many tickets you 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.320 want to pay for yourself, and then send the link 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.959 to your friends. And when you join your group, everyone 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:22.240 gets started separately and your tickets are secured, so you 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.560 can stack cash by inviting friends ten bucks every time 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:29.480 someone joins your group, catching baby. So fanimal it has 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.559 amazing customer service to don't take my word for it. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.160 Check out their hundreds and hundreds of five star reviews. 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.760 The next time you need tickets, go to fanimal dot 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.360 com or download the fnimal app and use the promo 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:46.480 code fanimal MLB.

I don't know who this is. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.040 Someone said, I went fulld Dylan Brooks on poking the bear. 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:57.120 Who's Dylan Brooks. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.880 Dylan Brooks is the Memphis Memphis four forward that said 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.680 Lebron is nothing to him. Oh and then he punched 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.320 him in the nuts and then he got ejected. 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.800 And I'm not about punching a guy in the nuts. 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.559 I think that that's fine. I don't know how to 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.920 transition out of that, but I'm gonna try. Let's get 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.160 to injuries. See what I did there, there's injuries. This 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.280 one is just this just pisses me, right the hell off. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.800 Logan o'happy four to six months, torn Wright Labram. I mean, 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.560 you're not going to see him this year, folks, because 0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.040 the Angels are not gonna be Maybe you see him 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.559 in September if everything goes incredibly perfectly. Well, I don't know, 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:36.840 I doubt it, but it's done. It's over. So upsetting. 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.839 He had such a good start to the season, a 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:43.240 power hitting catcher off the waiver wire. So sad, so sad, 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.439 but you Darvish listed his day to day, expected to 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.839 make his next start after leaving with the hamstring cramped. 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.319 Tim Anderson will head on his rehab assignment soon, so 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.560 a little ahead of schedule. That's good. Tony Gonsolin joined 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:57.520 the Dodgers in Chicago on Sunday, so it looks like 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.400 he is going to be moving closer here. He was 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.079 pulled after just fifty seven pitches on Thursday for his 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.520 rehab start, so it looks like, maybe, you know, they're 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.600 kind of moving to that next start being with the Dodgers, 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.160 which would be good for the Dodgers. Alex Kierloff could 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.839 be optioned to Triple A once he concludes his minor 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.040 league rehab assignment. So let's talk about this here, Twins 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.680 offense obviously looking for something here, Alex Kiroloff. Is I 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.840 think in this, you know, same range that Jared Kelnig 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:27.080 was where eventually you've got to do something. Is Kiroloff 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.760 now on the other side of that, where it's like, Okay, 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.000 it's never gonna happen. Have we gotten there yet, or 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:33.800 he's still holding any sort of torch that kiral Looff 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.160 can somehow make a career for himself in the big leaues. 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.040 Because it's the fact that he's coming back. It might 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.840 just say at triple A, I don't know like that 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.320 that's starting to bother me a little bit. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.600 In terms of his stock, Yeah, I had to look like, 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.920 what is the current roster construction because Joey Gallow's back, 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.320 he's logging up first. I mean, I think when you 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.120 take a look at it, you can see like there 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.840 is no spot for him. And here's the number one 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.200 thing that Alex Kierloff needs right now. He needs it 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:00.840 bats to get going. 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:02.240 So from a twin. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.600 Standpoint, it actually would be crappy for them to bring 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.120 him up and not play him because where the hell's 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.400 he going to play? Joe Buckston's the DH. You're not 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:10.680 gonna put him in an outfield. Trevor Larnak is playing better. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.920 There's no outfield, there's no infield, there's no DH. So 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.200 I actually see why the move is there. But he 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.320 is getting closer and closer to he needs to, you know, 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:21.960 s or get off the pot type of situation. You know, 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.000 you need to start producing three homers pretty good in 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.720 Triple A. He's starting to hit again, but he's perpetually injured. 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.240 I'm always a fan of him. I interviewed him like 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.080 four or five years ago. His dad is a hitting coach. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.040 He's a really smart hitter, but those risks just keep 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:37.840 falling apart. 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.400 He continuously has issues. I think he can't hit, but 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:41.520 it is getting indick. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.280 It is getting into Keller Nick Keller nick I said 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.680 it like you kell Nick's situation of like we've got 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:48.280 to get this going at some point, but he's got 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.000 to have opportunity and he's not going to have that 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.480 if he's sitting on the bench in Minnesota. 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.280 Before we get some more injuries. Brian's got a question. 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.760 Lance Lynn wound up on waivers in my league. No brainer, 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:58.320 pick him up, Yes, pick him up. He's got two 0:15:58.320 --> 0:15:59.920 starts this week, of course you pick him up. Well, 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.960 we talked about the splits. The two bad starts were 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.239 the two day games where he was actually just obliterated. 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.880 So I'm just yes, you pick him up. That's just 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.920 it's an easy thing to do. And I again, I 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.560 haven't talked about this, but it looks like Mike Maher 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.200 wants to talk about this, is waiting for Joe to 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.480 talk about his heater in the betting world. And I 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:18.840 know it's a lot of people follow me over the 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.600 last couple of days over in the Betting pros dot 0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:22.720 com and if you haven't already downloaded the app, and 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.840 once again, you know, go join our little group there 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.880 because it's a good time. Betting pros dot com slash 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.400 leading off. Everybody seems to be there. Hey, I'm on 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.120 a heater, but again, this is my job and you 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:33.520 know it's supposed to be right, so I'm not gonna 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.560 take too many victory laps. I'm wrong, Max Moncy, just. 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.200 Like saving that was the most Like you saved a 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:41.960 girl from the water, and you're like, no big. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.640 Deal, no big deal, whatever, It's just Monday afternoon. Let's 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:48.120 get to Carlos Rodan. He played catch, so did I 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.720 this weekend? So I know what that means. Oh, we 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.400 could take that with every grain of salt you want. 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.400 Sandy al Contra with a biceps issue, he played catch 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:59.000 on Sunday. The plan is for him uh to throw 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.360
