Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you by Fries. Pick sign up
Speaker 1: today or prize picks and use that promo code leading Off.
Speaker 1: When you do, it's me Joey p Joe Piezabia. That
Speaker 1: of course is the Welsh and it's you and you
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a hot show when the chat
Speaker 1: is going before the show even starts. There was like
Speaker 1: thirty messages in the chat before we even started the
Speaker 1: show today. I love that. And here's the best one.
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about leading off, here's leading Off.
Speaker 1: Here's Dan g leading off. I dropped lance Lynn and
Speaker 1: who picks him up? The guy I traded Brandon Lau
Speaker 1: to get Lance Linn for in the first place. If
Speaker 1: Lynn gets good again, I'm going to mail that guy
Speaker 1: some farts. That's what he said. That's how you start
Speaker 1: a show, That's how you lead off. That's the first comment.
Speaker 1: Does it get better than that? Welsh? I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Do you think you can like logistically mail a fart?
Speaker 2: You think you can like put it in like a
Speaker 2: bag and like it opens up. It's not gonna make
Speaker 2: the sound, of course, but do you think the uh
Speaker 2: aesthetic of a fart can really be mailed?
Speaker 1: Well, I guess here's the thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, asking for a business venture, this is a
Speaker 2: business venture.
Speaker 1: I think what you do is you have to have
Speaker 1: the hybrid where I think perhaps you you send something
Speaker 1: in the mail that's smelly, and then at the same
Speaker 1: time you send an email and you ask the person
Speaker 1: to open both of them up at the same time,
Speaker 1: and then the other email has like a you know,
Speaker 1: the sound of one, so you're getting the full experience
Speaker 1: at the same time. It's a lot, it's very complicated,
Speaker 1: I think from.
Speaker 2: That, No, No, I think I think it's like similar
Speaker 2: to like saving the ocean the ocean air, you know,
Speaker 2: being at the beach and being like bottle up the ocean.
Speaker 2: You can just bottle up a good old fart and
Speaker 2: send it to the lancelid pick her up or or
Speaker 2: you know there's a company out there too that I
Speaker 2: don't know if you know this that you can send
Speaker 2: like elephant poop to people. You're gonna see that what
Speaker 2: a world we live in.
Speaker 1: So the you know, those are your options. So washing
Speaker 1: your farts and starts very very closely. This is why
Speaker 1: you tune into the show. Nobody's having as much fun
Speaker 1: as we are talking off baseball, the X plug of
Speaker 1: you know, Shell hal Coney. At this point, it's been
Speaker 1: slightly disappointing. Well, should I have to say, no, that's
Speaker 1: not this show. We're not gonna do that. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk kind.
Speaker 2: Of on the other extreme of it that we're talking
Speaker 2: about fart.
Speaker 1: Literally let off with a fart thing this morning. But whatever,
Speaker 1: it's fine, but we're gonna lead off with a lot
Speaker 1: of other good things. Zach gallon Ouhi that the investment
Speaker 1: in saw Young's looking pretty good right now. Seven innings,
Speaker 1: one run. Great performance from him. By the way, he
Speaker 1: was also part of that trifecta yesterday. If you had
Speaker 1: the parlay of the day again, you hit again yesterday
Speaker 1: two and a half to one. So I hope you're
Speaker 1: following this show. I hope you're with us at Betty.
Speaker 2: There were some good bets yesterday. Who was it in
Speaker 2: the chat that was dogging me about my I was like,
Speaker 2: I like the White Sox total runs. I kind of
Speaker 2: like the first five over in that game as well,
Speaker 2: and they're like, no, no, both hit absolutely both.
Speaker 1: We'll find pretty much everything but Brown hold them out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown. The only thing that Hunter Brown was disappointing
Speaker 1: other than that.
Speaker 2: And Unter Brown and Byby stunk, but like isab mitched.
Speaker 1: Kelley specifically didn't make investment in Bibby because whenever it
Speaker 1: comes to young pitchers, I know there's always these weird
Speaker 1: bumps in the road, like Gracy Rodriguez, Right, he looked
Speaker 1: great a couple weeks ago in his first win, and
Speaker 1: he threw up like it was worst start right after this.
Speaker 2: Funny enough, remember actually went up hardcore because when we
Speaker 2: did the show, it was four and a half and
Speaker 2: it jumped up to five and I jumped off. I
Speaker 2: didn't because I did some of my stuff after the
Speaker 2: show and it went to five five and a half,
Speaker 2: and I was like, that'll happened?
Speaker 1: What the hell happened to this?
Speaker 2: Because I think everybody was hitting four and a half,
Speaker 2: so I think a lot of people got burned by that,
Speaker 2: but not by Zach Allen, who was also in your
Speaker 2: parlay and my individual that total, it was a month
Speaker 2: I'm in bad continues to be awesome, by the way,
Speaker 2: eleven swinging misses in that one, even though it was
Speaker 2: a little messy early on, he looks like the dude.
Speaker 2: He had eight whiffs on the fastball thirty two percent.
Speaker 2: He had an overall thirty one CSW thirty one percent
Speaker 2: CSW magnificent.
Speaker 1: Look. Baseball betting sometimes is just not that deep. I
Speaker 1: mean I looked for who the A's were playing, Oh,
Speaker 1: the Yankees, and Nester Cortez, well, that's a check. I
Speaker 1: look for Zach Gallon start, that's a check. And Shane
Speaker 1: McClanahan start against the Orioles. Check. You put the three together,
Speaker 1: you turn yourself around, and next thing you know, you're
Speaker 1: winning money. That's what you do. Here's a here's a
Speaker 1: good one.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: This is a Brett Anderson. Mail him some fots some
Speaker 1: Brandon fought. Just mail him a Brandon Fott card.
Speaker 2: There you go that Yeah, well actually uh, Conka said
Speaker 2: that like you know, like those music cards where it's
Speaker 2: like uh and it's like.
Speaker 1: Very just Here's a great question, by the way, from
Speaker 1: Bill Schmidt, how much longer are we holding Jordan Walker?
Speaker 1: And ToJ Bradley and Redraft, I'm holding Taj for a
Speaker 1: while like I'm not you know, you know, his pitchers
Speaker 1: continue to drop like flies. I know, Glass now is
Speaker 1: coming back. But I'm holding Tosh Bradley. Walker is more
Speaker 1: complicated now with this Contrera situation. That's my only thing.
Speaker 1: And now that he's clogging up d H. I know
Speaker 1: Gorman hasn't been hitting. I got some questions on Twitter
Speaker 1: about him today. But what do you do here with
Speaker 1: these two guys? You hold him both. So TODJ.
Speaker 2: Bradley is really tough because there's a couple of things
Speaker 2: with it. He has gotten uh, he's gotten litty. His
Speaker 2: last two starts after being sent down, it has not
Speaker 2: been good. I'm trying to pull it up here.
Speaker 1: Uh. That bothers me zero percent. It bothers me some.
Speaker 2: He's given up four earned run. He gave up foreign
Speaker 2: runs in his last start. The one before that he
Speaker 2: gave up it looks like eight. Yeah, it was eight.
Speaker 1: He gave up.
Speaker 2: He alimated out one inning, walk two, struck out two.
Speaker 2: Then he gave up four, walk three, struck out one.
Speaker 2: Here's the other problem. He's still on a six day schedule.
Speaker 2: He's not even on the five day schedule thing yet, which.
Speaker 1: Is it's not about because I don't think it was
Speaker 1: ever about that. I think it was a service time manipulation. Nonsense.
Speaker 2: That's thing that that is Jordan Walker. By the way,
Speaker 2: so tomorrow is the day Wednesdays of the day where
Speaker 2: if they bring him up, he can still qualify for
Speaker 2: the extra pick if he were to win Rookie of
Speaker 2: the Year. If they don't, he loses a full year
Speaker 2: of service and they gain an extra year. So he's
Speaker 2: not coming up anytime soon with their mess. So I
Speaker 2: would tell you this in a ten man, I think
Speaker 2: both can easily be moved off for re draft, and
Speaker 2: a twelve man with how things are going right now,
Speaker 2: I think you could probably move on from Taj if
Speaker 2: there's other options out there, maybe even Walker. Anything deeper
Speaker 2: or really deep benches, I probably not. I still really
Speaker 2: fully believe in TODs Bradley, but I'm very discouraged by
Speaker 2: whatever this is. I would you know what I would
Speaker 2: love to have heard if they said, all right, Taz,
Speaker 2: you're going to get sentient just a day. But yeah,
Speaker 2: but exactly that's.
Speaker 1: Why I want to I even look at the breakdown
Speaker 1: of what his pitches have been. But I get I
Speaker 1: guarantee you if it's like ninety percent fastballs, it's like
Speaker 1: just go get your work in, you know, just you know,
Speaker 1: let's let's not try to.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that today. I haven't done it yet,
Speaker 2: but I'm going to go back and look at what
Speaker 2: his pitch mix is versus what the last two triple
Speaker 2: A starts are, because that's exactly it. I want to
Speaker 2: be like, have they been telling him we want you
Speaker 2: to do this thing right here and that's causing some
Speaker 2: of the blow up. So I just don't know what
Speaker 2: this management is of it. So it's like, listen, if
Speaker 2: you've got option. My biggest thing is always this, if
Speaker 2: you have options, I think both you could move on
Speaker 2: if you wanted to. If options are limited. These are
Speaker 2: both not just like Will and Nelly drops or anything
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: I'm holding those guys to Memorial Day. You got plenty
Speaker 1: of time there, especially in season long leagues. Let's get
Speaker 1: to more headlines. Shane McClanahan four hit ball for six innings.
Speaker 1: He was great. We talked about him. Mitch Keller, wells
Speaker 1: you were on this yesterday, prize Pickin' and Styland and
Speaker 1: profile and how good is Mitch Keller? Wow, eighth phenomenal.
Speaker 1: K's one walk He's now four and one. It's tremendous.
Speaker 1: Mitch Keller. I mean, and I like Mitch Keller's personality too.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's just a really good dude. So I'm
Speaker 1: very happy for Mitch Keller, just as a sidebar, not
Speaker 1: that that matters at all. Chase sil Seth, which I
Speaker 1: always struggle saying, and I could see it a million times,
Speaker 1: this is like the way Wonky can't say. So Rare
Speaker 1: sil Seth for me is hard to say. I don't
Speaker 1: know why is gonna replace Jose Suarez. He's twenty two,
Speaker 1: He's got a point nine zero era, a point nine
Speaker 1: zero whip and twenty to eight k walk ratio in
Speaker 1: twenty innings and four starts. Is still set a guy
Speaker 1: that you should be adding in leagues here as we
Speaker 1: know Suarez is going to be out for a while
Speaker 1: with that shoulder.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so this was that Actually this was
Speaker 2: a move a couple of weeks ago when I was
Speaker 2: out here talking about how Jos Sware is the worst
Speaker 2: pitcher in baseball, and then he pitched like the best
Speaker 2: game ever. He turned back into a pumpkin. He did
Speaker 2: exactly what. He got hurt, unfortunately, but seven and runs,
Speaker 2: two and two thirds. Still Seth was was a guy
Speaker 2: that was like dominating in the miners. They brought him
Speaker 2: up to kind of be the long relief guy, and
Speaker 2: I think he'll get the starter gigs right now. So
Speaker 2: that is definitely something I would take a look at.
Speaker 2: I'm not jump into the wire. Here's an interesting one.
Speaker 2: Are you dropping TOADJ. Bradley for for sil Seth.
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. I'm gonna say no because of
Speaker 1: what my eyes saw with TODJ. Bradley, I'm gonna say no.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's quite the move, my boy. I
Speaker 2: would I with Mitch Keller though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's Mike Patton. Mike Patten's funny Joe can't say
Speaker 1: half the names. Joe's dumb. Yeah, that's right, because.
Speaker 2: Joe I like how he's drags. I'm very no, he's
Speaker 2: dracts Mike Patten's draft track. Nothing goes over my head.
Speaker 2: It's my reflexes are too nat.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of names in my head. I didn't
Speaker 1: give it tie. You know, I do cover baseball, I
Speaker 1: do cover football. I do cover college football. You know
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a tougher thing than you realize.
Speaker 2: My brain, my brain one hundred percent switches players. Sometimes
Speaker 2: I will say football name for a baseball player. That's
Speaker 2: just that's how it goes.
Speaker 1: Here's the best retort. Let's take a quick break in
Speaker 1: the action to tell you about Fanimal. I love live events,
Speaker 1: but I hate buying tickets the hidden fees they suck.
Speaker 1: It's like paying for a whole other person who's not
Speaker 1: even there to be there with you at the event,
Speaker 1: and customer service is terrible, and coordinating with friends is
Speaker 1: a nightmare. But then I discovered fanimal and Fannamal has
Speaker 1: tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball, you name it,
Speaker 1: and Major League Baseball. And plus there's no fees. The
Speaker 1: price you see is actually the price you pay. What
Speaker 1: a concept. You heard it here first. Fanimal is the
Speaker 1: cheapest place on the internet to get MLB tickets. And
Speaker 1: we've all experienced how painful it is to coordinate going
Speaker 1: events with friends, and I always end up front of
Speaker 1: a bunch of money and then chasing down the friends
Speaker 1: to get reimbursed, and if they flake, I'm stuck with
Speaker 1: the whole bill. But f Animal's patentent group purchase makes
Speaker 1: it easy to split payments with your friends, so nobody's
Speaker 1: left holding the bag. And you don't have to commit
Speaker 1: until your friends do. So just pick the seats, pick
Speaker 1: how many tickets you want to pay for yourself, and
Speaker 1: then send the link to your friends. And when you
Speaker 1: join your group, everyone gets started separately and your tickets
Speaker 1: are secured, so you can stack cash by inviting friends
Speaker 1: ten bucks every time someone joins your group. Catching baby.
Speaker 1: So fanomal it has amazing customer service to don't take
Speaker 1: my word for it. Check out their hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 1: of five star reviews. The next time you need tickets,
Speaker 1: go to fanimal dot com or download the fnimal app
Speaker 1: and use the promo code fanimal MLB. That's fnimal MLB
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars off your first purchase. Check out animal
Speaker 1: and experience more and now back to the app. Gnostic
Speaker 1: baseball can say pizza pa either, So there you go.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people that struggle with your name,
Speaker 2: by the way, a lot of.
Speaker 1: The Leading Tower of Pisa. It's not that hard. I mean,
Speaker 1: let's continue on. Franmil reyes DFA by the Royals, only
Speaker 1: twenty seven years old, and he was terrible this year.
Speaker 1: This is such a perplexing one because when he landed
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, a couple of years ago Welsh he started
Speaker 1: to really pop and we're like, yeah, okay, friend Mill
Speaker 1: is gonna be that big boy d H kind of thing.
Speaker 1: He's gonna go smack thirty homers every year. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: hit two fifty.
Speaker 2: But remember me last year, I was like, fran Mil
Speaker 2: might hit forty, Like he's gonna tap it, and you.
Speaker 1: Just didn't launch what happened to Franmil. This is one
Speaker 1: where I just I can't understand it because usually you
Speaker 1: don't see it happen a player of this age. You know,
Speaker 1: usually twenty five twenty six year old guys when they
Speaker 1: start going, well, it doesn't fall off the map. It's
Speaker 1: weird that he's twenty seven and it's just he's getting
Speaker 1: DF eight at this point. It's very strange. So I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a work ethic thing. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's you know, it's it's tough because you also,
Speaker 1: whenever more than one organization, you know, when you see
Speaker 1: guys start to bounce some organization organization, sometimes that's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a red flag on a player. So
Speaker 1: that's the only other thing I can think of that
Speaker 1: there's something else there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what it is, and I would this
Speaker 2: would be another thing to like go and research if
Speaker 2: we really wanted to. But I think he was being
Speaker 2: pitched a certain way for a long time, and I
Speaker 2: think the league has started to adjust. You also can
Speaker 2: see new trends, you know what I'm saying. There's more
Speaker 2: splitters and more sweepers and stuff, and he doesn't have
Speaker 2: the acumen to adjust to these, and it's completely falling apart.
Speaker 2: I think that's a big Also, I throw out that
Speaker 2: Drew Waters has been rehabbing out here in Arizona and
Speaker 2: he just got sent out to a Triple A assignment,
Speaker 2: and that's a guy. Once he's done, they're probably gonna
Speaker 2: send right back up because he did make the major,
Speaker 2: so he will. I think the writing was on the
Speaker 2: wall that hey, there is no future here. Drew is
Speaker 2: a week or so away, and they just let him
Speaker 2: be free.
Speaker 1: Be free. Not a big Drew Waters guy, but we'll see.
Speaker 1: By the way, we got to talk about this too,
Speaker 1: because I know this is hot in the chat too. Earlier,
Speaker 1: Mason Miller write elbow tightness. Yikes, this is not good.
Speaker 1: Why does this happen? Why do good things always go bad?
Speaker 1: So quickly in Major League Baseball feels like this is
Speaker 1: like the one bright spot for the A's. So obviously,
Speaker 1: the concerned level whenever you have a Nobow issue is high.
Speaker 1: So I mean, there's no other way to talk about it.
Speaker 1: Like you if you're in redraft leagues, this is something
Speaker 1: where if sil Seth is on the waiver wire, go
Speaker 1: pick him up right now. You know, don't wait because
Speaker 1: I feel like if you wait, but.
Speaker 2: Are you saying to drop Mason Miller for him?
Speaker 1: I am, because he pitches for the A's anyway, and
Speaker 1: if Silseeth's going to keep this rotation spot for any
Speaker 1: length of time here, which it seems like there's a
Speaker 1: good chance he does, then what are the range of outcomes?
Speaker 1: Or Mason Miller news is good Welsh.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a great way to put it too.
Speaker 2: That's maybe the best way to put it right there,
Speaker 2: is what are the range of outcomes? My biggest miss
Speaker 2: on him the whole year was like the thirty innings,
Speaker 2: Like I didn't see how he was going to go
Speaker 2: bonkers and what they were going to stretch him to,
Speaker 2: so kind of this whole time as he's been pitching,
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, this is really fun. But how much
Speaker 2: are we going to get now you throw on this
Speaker 2: arm issue? They should baby living crap out of him.
Speaker 2: He already wasn't gonna get the innings. This does leave
Speaker 2: the potential if this is not like devastating for the
Speaker 2: back half of the year, that he can just be
Speaker 2: let go, as in like he's just gonna go, you know,
Speaker 2: fly free and we're not gonna have to worry about it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think this is very concerning. I'm I'm
Speaker 2: a little like, I don't know if I want to.
Speaker 1: Drop until I get devastating image of like you on
Speaker 1: a mountain side releasing Mason Miller with his wings and
Speaker 1: five or you know those things where they like release
Speaker 1: something and then like a bird comes out of nowhere
Speaker 1: and snatches it and then yeah, like.
Speaker 2: A hawk, Yeah exactly are scary, by the way, But
Speaker 2: I don't I think I'm a little and lesser. Okay,
Speaker 2: unless there's a cool option sitting out there, I don't
Speaker 2: want to be reactive quite yet, okay, because there's discomfort
Speaker 2: that was felt and that pushed off. If there's a
Speaker 2: good option, I think you can be a little bit
Speaker 2: more pushy about it. If it's kind of dicey. Then
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna hold for just a second and then
Speaker 2: maybe I can put him on the eye l and
Speaker 2: maybe I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the move now. I'm gonna make the
Speaker 1: move now if there's something there, and I'm gonna be proactive,
Speaker 1: not reactive, and look at what's worst it can happen.
Speaker 1: Mason Miller goes on the aisle for fifteen days, comes
Speaker 1: back and he's fine, and then he's still pitching for
Speaker 1: the A's. Like that's the thing, Like Mason mill is
Speaker 1: really good. This is Redraft obviously dynasty, totally different situation.
Speaker 1: Like you you know, keeper league's totally different situation. Friends
Speaker 1: don't let friends drop to Oscarnandez Craig Johnson, I see
Speaker 1: your question. No you can't do this.
Speaker 2: That's like a ten team league. Like yeah, but I'm
Speaker 2: still not.
Speaker 1: I'm still not even in that scenario. More news too,
Speaker 1: that's really some interesting stuff going on. So Casey Schmidt
Speaker 1: got called up from Triple A today. This just happened
Speaker 1: like like an hour ago. You broke it to me.
Speaker 2: I hadn't even say I broke it to Welsh.
Speaker 1: Which never happens. Usually it's the inverse uh hitting three thirteen,
Speaker 1: three fifty two lbp just a four to ten slugging.
Speaker 1: So as Welsh was, you know, giving me the profile,
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's gonna hit for bating average,
Speaker 1: make contact, not a big power guy necessarily only as
Speaker 1: one homer does have a couple of stone bases though
Speaker 1: three steals thirty two games. The Pirates are calling up
Speaker 1: Josh Pelasios from Triple A as a guy he's been
Speaker 1: up and down a little bit before he was a
Speaker 1: role five guy. He's been crushing a Triple A. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that carries over. He's got four homers
Speaker 1: twenty RBI in thirteen games, hitting four thirty four with
Speaker 1: a five hundred opp so this could be just another
Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle guy. And then the other interesting
Speaker 1: note too, David Peterson is not going to be starting
Speaker 1: today a Triple A, so that start got scratched for him,
Speaker 1: and not because he's hurt, but because of the injury
Speaker 1: news that we had this morning or last night that broke. Basically,
Speaker 1: whereas Max Schurzer's talking about, he's dealing with discomfort in
Speaker 1: his right scapula near his shoulder blade. To me, this
Speaker 1: week's of something's wrong. If you've got Scherzer in a
Speaker 1: daily transaction lineup, you have to take him out today.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is a good idea. I don't
Speaker 1: think you start him. I know it, you could bite
Speaker 1: you in the rear end. I get that. But to me,
Speaker 1: this is a very clear thing of let's bring Peterson up,
Speaker 1: Let's let Scherza go out there do his bullpen today.
Speaker 1: If he feels good in the bullpen, we'll let him start.
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, boom, he goes on the il and
Speaker 1: then we have another circumstances. Now, I wonder, Welsh, do
Speaker 1: you think this in got exasperated by the whole I'm
Speaker 1: not going to pitch for ten days and instead of
Speaker 1: doing a rehab start or any other stuff, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna go right back. And you know, b Max Scherzer,
Speaker 1: do you think that that ego centric move there could
Speaker 1: have dealt, you know, kind of impacted this injury potentially negatives?
Speaker 2: Sure, but he's also been very vocal recently about talking
Speaker 2: about how the speed of the game is going to
Speaker 2: cause more injuries and he's worried about it. This could
Speaker 2: be kind of part of that whole thing. I think
Speaker 2: because nobody got hurt in baseball the last five years. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it's pretty bad right now. But again, we always
Speaker 2: need a meter though, because it's recency. It's like every
Speaker 2: time we do this, I do it every single year,
Speaker 2: we're like, oh my god, are there are more injuries
Speaker 2: than ever? And then you actually look and it's like
Speaker 2: last year they were double. I'd love to see what
Speaker 2: the metric is, but man, it feels like it's a
Speaker 2: just you can between pitchers and hitters, though, are wise.
Speaker 1: Track remember the number of people on the I L
Speaker 1: and the number the dollar amount paid to those players
Speaker 1: on the IL with something astronomical number. We did it
Speaker 1: every so often, but I'm sure you can look at
Speaker 1: just from now till like May first in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two and see what the real difference is. I mean,
Speaker 1: to be honest, it's interesting because the minor leaguers who've
Speaker 1: been coming up for the most part, who have been
Speaker 1: conditioned to this environment, they don't seem to be having
Speaker 1: a problem with It's the old farts who are having
Speaker 1: a problem with It's lance Lynn who's having a problem
Speaker 1: with it. It's Max Sure's who And I'm a good
Speaker 1: part too. And that's and look, it seems like that's
Speaker 1: the theme of the show today, but that I think
Speaker 1: was to be expected and now it's coming to fruition.
Speaker 1: But that is something to really keep an eye on.
Speaker 1: Let's get to some more of the injuries. Max Free
Speaker 1: going on the fifteen day IL with the forearm strain.
Speaker 1: This is not good for Atlanta. Another injury here. All
Speaker 1: that means is that elder stays in the rotation for
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. So if you still have that guy
Speaker 1: you held on and he's been pretty good, just keep
Speaker 1: holding because he's going to keep getting turns. Ramon Loriano
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol Suarez we mentioned left shoulder strain. He's
Speaker 1: on the IL. Nico Horner went on the IL. Christopher
Speaker 1: Morell was called up. He's twenty three, played one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirteen games last year for Chicago three point thirty,
Speaker 1: batting average four twenty five seven thirty with eleven home
Speaker 1: runs four stolen bases this year in Triple A. Is
Speaker 1: Christopher Morel somebody you would pick up right now because
Speaker 1: Nico could be out a while. If that hamstring news
Speaker 1: is a little bit more severe in terms, I don't
Speaker 1: think we got a grade yet on that hamstring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, absolutely, one of the better players in the
Speaker 2: minor leagues. They even acknowledge it. He's a speed option,
Speaker 2: good power option. Contact has been a little bit of
Speaker 2: the issue, but he's a total pickup in this.
Speaker 1: Case, total pickup. He's so dreamy, totally So besides the
Speaker 1: mac Suerzer news, also good news. Finally Corey Seeger being
Speaker 1: that rehab assignment on Thursday, so that's important. We finally
Speaker 1: got Travis darnoback you know, difficult stuff there for the
Speaker 1: concussion protocol and then iron Judge will return today. Rejoice
Speaker 1: against the Athletics. Here's a fun one, the Mets, who
Speaker 1: have a giant deficit of catcher since Omar Nevas got
Speaker 1: on the il Gary Sanchez.
Speaker 2: Now, Sanchez, time for your bullets.
Speaker 1: Am I excited about this?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Do I understand it? Yes, Tomas Nito can't hit water
Speaker 1: if he fell out of the boat. He's a great
Speaker 1: defensive catcher. And Sanchez looks a little overmatch right now.
Speaker 1: I think I'm Sanchez Alvarez, pardon me. It won't be
Speaker 1: a matter of time before Sanchez looks overmatch. But Alvarez
Speaker 1: overmatched as well, So I'm not taking too much out
Speaker 1: of this, but if you're in a two catcher league
Speaker 1: and he's floating out there, there might be opportunity here,
Speaker 1: so you might stash him and see what's going on. Uh,
Speaker 1: let's talk about three up and three down. John Gray
Speaker 1: one run over seven innings and it went over the
Speaker 1: Mariners yesterday. Logan Gilbert on the other side of that
Speaker 1: game ten strikeouts, he was great six, he.
Speaker 2: Was perfect through six And gonna maybe say it, but
Speaker 2: had you checked out the trade video last week, maybe
Speaker 2: a mister Logan Gilbert was at the very top of
Speaker 2: that trade list and he got Now, he did get
Speaker 2: whacked around after he lost the perfect game, a load
Speaker 2: of the bases up, but he was phenomenal in the
Speaker 2: strikeout were coming. And I don't know, this actually might
Speaker 2: still be like an opportunity out there, because my big
Speaker 2: thing was by if you didn't he was, you know,
Speaker 2: six perfect, but then it kind of leveled itself out,
Speaker 2: so there might be still a good buying opportunity. It
Speaker 2: is so interesting how he him and George Kirby are
Speaker 2: kind of like polar opposites right now, where Kirby is
Speaker 2: still performing well as I've been describing it like a
Speaker 2: Shane Bieber esque but he's not striking guys out, and
Speaker 2: Logan Gilbert hasn't been as good on the surface level,
Speaker 2: but the strikeouts look like they are coming, and he's
Speaker 2: a he's still a great buy right now.
Speaker 1: Uh, here's a good question, actually, Razor, you know, asked
Speaker 1: what is Rule five? And I know some people really,
Speaker 1: you know, some like casual baseball fans really don't get
Speaker 1: what that is. Rule five draft has a lot to
Speaker 1: do with the forty man rosters. So basically, if a
Speaker 1: player is I don't know, if it's out of options
Speaker 1: with their club.
Speaker 2: It's being three years, five years with the organization. What's
Speaker 2: what's wacko for a lot of people is when you
Speaker 2: see guys that are like twenty years old and you're like,
Speaker 2: what or more from.
Speaker 1: At sixteen or something like that.
Speaker 2: Guys that signed at sixteen years old and they've been
Speaker 2: with that organization that long five years, You've got to
Speaker 2: be on the forty man roster. If the guy's not
Speaker 2: placed on the forty man roster, then they become a
Speaker 2: Rule five eligible, which means the team can draft them,
Speaker 2: but they have to keep that person on their major
Speaker 2: league roster and if they don't, they have to return
Speaker 2: them to the team or they can like buy the player.
Speaker 2: It's really weird an odd It's one of baseball's mini
Speaker 2: odd like and wel were's.
Speaker 1: Been some great guys. Joan Santana, I remember, was a
Speaker 1: Rule five guy. Josh Hamilton because of obviously the drug
Speaker 1: issues and you know other things, he ended up being
Speaker 1: a Rule five guy. Shane Victorino was a Rule five guy.
Speaker 1: Dan Augla who had a lot of good seasons there
Speaker 1: for the Marlins. He was a Rule five Nestra Cortes. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. George bell I did not Wow, that's that's
Speaker 1: one I did not see on this list. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we have some quality players over the years who've been
Speaker 1: Rule five picks. Anthony Santander actually playing now for the Orioles,
Speaker 1: so r A Dicky ended up winning a Cy Young
Speaker 1: for the Mets. That's a pretty good Rule five draft pick.
Speaker 1: Glabor Tour is the last of the three stars yesterday,
Speaker 1: he went yard, got that. That was another one of
Speaker 1: the bets yesterday. The total bases in the runs, Boom
Speaker 1: got it. One swing of the bat. It's all you need.
Speaker 1: The downs yesterday to ask Hernandez we mentioned earlier over
Speaker 1: four to three k's, just just stay true, just Benjamin
Speaker 1: until he gets hot again. Corbyn Carrol over five with
Speaker 1: three k's and Dylan Ceese seven earned runs. Well, she
Speaker 1: had to feel really good about this one because you
Speaker 1: were negative, Nancy about Dylan SE's going into the year.
Speaker 1: How can a man with a mustache that good pitch
Speaker 1: so bad?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. And also I continuously think about as
Speaker 2: I do because I don't let things go. Was that
Speaker 2: very first game where he was awesome and lots of
Speaker 2: tweets about like, oh as your Dylan cease now and
Speaker 2: he has kind of been mediocre this entire time through.
Speaker 2: I think Gila might be down a little bit. It's
Speaker 2: the way he commands the pitches. He's a he's a
Speaker 2: walk machine, and he's given up a lot more runs.
Speaker 2: He's getting away with a lot less stuff. It ain't good.
Speaker 2: It's not good now. I don't think I'm my bold
Speaker 2: prediction is right where he was going to be the
Speaker 2: third most valuable of the fantasy guys. But we are
Speaker 2: in a world or Lucas gi Alito might be more
Speaker 2: valuable when Dylan Cees, you know, give three or four more.
Speaker 1: Start might I'll say it right now. If he is
Speaker 1: right now, well, look he's going to be more valuable
Speaker 1: when all said and done. In draft capital, Dylan Cez
Speaker 1: was going as a top ten ish starting pitcher. Lucas
Speaker 1: Gelito was at what twenty four, twenty five. I want
Speaker 1: to say in ADP overall, I.
Speaker 2: Mean from a value perspective, value perspective, right now, g
Speaker 2: Aledo makes more sense. But yeah, I mean, and looking here,
Speaker 2: Dylan Ceese is getting smacked around. If you guys want
Speaker 2: your big differences here, this is probably the biggest one
Speaker 2: hard hit percentage. He had an awesome so he was
Speaker 2: controlling you know, how guys were making contact last year
Speaker 2: top seven percent of the league in hard hit percentage
Speaker 2: only thirty one percent last year. This year bottom three
Speaker 2: percent of the league fifty three percent hard hit. He's
Speaker 2: also his strikeouts are down to the lowest it's been
Speaker 2: in the last two years. His walks are back up,
Speaker 2: and it was kind of the story about you know
Speaker 2: the expected era too. It's even though he's got a
Speaker 2: five to five VRA, it's four seven one, so it's
Speaker 2: not that much better. So he is getting hit a
Speaker 2: lot harder than he was last year, and that's a
Speaker 2: big key. Plus the fastball is down over a full
Speaker 2: mile per hour as well as the slider, So you've
Speaker 2: got Velo down ticks and he's getting hit hard. It
Speaker 2: ain't good.
Speaker 1: It ain't good. And you can pick your friends and
Speaker 1: you can pick your prizes, but you can't pick your
Speaker 1: friend's prize picks. So you gotta do it yourself, which
Speaker 1: means you gotta go to Prize Picks, download the app
Speaker 1: or go to prize picks dot com. Use that promo
Speaker 1: code leading off, and you get one hundred percent to
Speaker 1: pause a match up to one hundred dollars. Welsh, what
Speaker 1: do you have for the people today?
Speaker 2: Oh right, I've got four plays for you today, even
Speaker 2: though I don't like a lot of the bets today,
Speaker 2: I don't have a bunch of bets.
Speaker 1: I do like. The last two days were much better Monday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm gonna not try to overdo it today.
Speaker 2: But here's what I've got. Houston Angels, no run first inning,
Speaker 2: frambur and show Heyo Tani. I'm gonna obviously you're gonna
Speaker 2: have the big dogs in there, but I'm gonna play
Speaker 2: that one. Logan Webb Fantasy Square thirty two and a half.
Speaker 2: It's a good matchup, and I believe he's hit this
Speaker 2: like four straight starts. Pete Alonzo one and a half
Speaker 2: total bases versus Luke Weaver, Yes please, And going back
Speaker 2: to that Houston game, Framber Valdez strikeouts five and a half.
Speaker 2: This is a great play against Houston as long as
Speaker 2: they are not tagging him a whole bunch. But these
Speaker 2: four plays, I all like them. I think I like
Speaker 2: them equally. Maybe the one I would be careful about
Speaker 2: for all you guys is like total bases. I've been
Speaker 2: pretty brutal about you know, k's. I've been decent. I
Speaker 2: can find some of these others total bases have been tough,
Speaker 2: So be careful. But I do like Pete Alonzo a
Speaker 2: lot today.
Speaker 1: Tread lightley, but still be ready. Now let's continue on
Speaker 1: with my prize picks for the day too. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep this one pretty simple. Max Sure's are under six
Speaker 1: and a half picture strikeouns. I see what I did there,
Speaker 1: and this is before this other I just read about
Speaker 1: the news. Now, the problem is if he doesn't start, obviously,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be Yeah. If he starts. This is
Speaker 1: a great one. Yeah, please get in there now, MOOKI.
Speaker 1: That's eight hitter Fantasy points over and Fernando Tatist Junior
Speaker 1: eight and a half over bets today, I've got a
Speaker 1: double parlay for you. So two here, the two legs,
Speaker 1: which is you know it's yesterday was about money lines,
Speaker 1: today is about overs. I think there's a lot less
Speaker 1: good pitching on this late today, which typically means you're
Speaker 1: into either bads learning pitching, and then early middle relief,
Speaker 1: which is typically where you get a lot of good runs.
Speaker 1: So nine and a half on the Brewers Dodgers game,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over on that one, and over on
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twins Padres game, where you've got the Varland
Speaker 1: and Waka and the other one who got lower and cindergard.
Speaker 1: I think those are two environments that should produce more
Speaker 1: than nine runs or nine and a half. So if
Speaker 1: you put those two together get plus two sixty five.
Speaker 1: If you look at Zach Efflin's number four and a
Speaker 1: half k's on betting pros, you're getting plus one twenty four.
Speaker 1: You take the over on that. It's a small number.
Speaker 1: Four and a half's a small number against Baltimore. It's
Speaker 1: a team. You've got some k's in there, and Lucas Gidlito,
Speaker 1: the afore mentioned best pitcher on the White Sox. Five
Speaker 1: and a half kays, I'm gonna go the over on that.
Speaker 1: You're getting plus one ten Welsh. What do you have
Speaker 1: on the betting line today?
Speaker 2: I'm only got two plays currently that I'm jumping into. Again,
Speaker 2: yesterday was pretty good on any of the totals and
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So my two plays are Arizona Miami,
Speaker 2: so the Diamondbacks and the Marlins. First five so through
Speaker 2: the first five innings four and a half overruns, so
Speaker 2: I'm projecting out for five runs. Hasus Lozardo obviously good,
Speaker 2: but both of these teams, as far as what they've
Speaker 2: been giving up, especially the Marlins giving up and the
Speaker 2: Diamondback's been scoring, Brandon Fott is a huge question mark,
Speaker 2: you know what it's It's actually kind of a masochistic
Speaker 2: play because it's like, if I don't hit this, this
Speaker 2: probably means Brandon Fought is pitching really well. But Fought
Speaker 2: hasn't looked super good. So I just need five runs
Speaker 2: out of this, and the Marlins have been giving that up.
Speaker 2: So I'm going with the first five over and Framber
Speaker 2: Valdez strikeouts. It's the only play I think Otani, I'm
Speaker 2: very tempted to get into. I think that's playable, but
Speaker 2: Framber is a it's a good value five and a
Speaker 2: half over.
Speaker 1: Those are my I'm staining away from that game today
Speaker 1: that I don't like those four outcome games, that it'll
Speaker 1: always scare the crap out of me. Maybe you take
Speaker 1: the under in that game. Maybe that's the best way
Speaker 1: to approach that one potentially.
Speaker 2: Feels a lot better too.
Speaker 1: Kevin Cotrell here in the Chat and the Penis and
Speaker 1: cracker Jack, saying, I really wish I did more research
Speaker 1: on Ceas before I drafted him. Kevin, this is why
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the MLB channel here in Fantasy pros
Speaker 1: because I don't know if there was a show where
Speaker 1: Welsh didn't say how much he did not like Dylan
Speaker 1: C's going in, like, I really don't it was Corbyn
Speaker 1: Kenall is the greatest player that ever lived and Dylan
Speaker 1: ces is the worst. I'm pretty sure that was. I
Speaker 1: just have an entire off season, right.
Speaker 2: It's like that scene in Guardians where it's like you're
Speaker 2: missing a few key details, but for the most part,
Speaker 2: as far that's it.

Speaker 1: New York. That's I think where you're looking. Milwaukee could
Speaker 1: probably throw in there against Cindergard too. He stinks. Matt
Speaker 1: Murvis is a value two point three, Alex Kiroloff just
Speaker 1: two point two, and jaj Bleday two point seven. He's
Speaker 1: hitting Boss Hart all over the place. That guy home

Speaker 1: with Aaron Judge returning Aaron Judge against the Oakland A's
Speaker 1: sign me up? So the Judge comes back and I
Speaker 1: got a home er and yesterday from Jose Ramirez, I
Speaker 1: broke this. I'm alive again. I think that's five now
Speaker 1: for me. So Welsh, where are you going for your dinger? Today?
Speaker 2: Donnie was killing me. If people have noticed it, my
Speaker 2: shirt has been bugging me. It's like Welsh has fixed
Speaker 2: his collar today more than Rodney Dangerfield, no respect, no respect.
Speaker 2: My shirt has been driving button nuts. I can visually
Speaker 2: look at it like the shirt we got.
Speaker 1: One hundred and something. You know, got a overwhel over
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty people watching live right now. Maybe
Speaker 1: you take another button down. It goes up to one eighty.
Speaker 2: Well I did see no, I had the button down,
Speaker 2: but like the shirt was falling. It was just driving
Speaker 2: me nuts. So if you guys were wondering what the
Speaker 2: hell I was doing, it was just absolutely driving me crazy.
Speaker 2: Which intern drove you crazy? Home runs drive me crazy
Speaker 2: because I want them to get out. I wanted Julio.
Speaker 1: Yes, the numbers just went up. By the way, when
Speaker 1: you all right, let's go there we go eating off all.
Speaker 2: Right, farts in a jar and unbuttoned in the shirt. Today,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Peter Loss. You probably could tell
Speaker 2: where I was going to go that I should don't.
Speaker 2: I don't really know where to feel out any of
Speaker 2: this stuff. There's a little part of it. And also
Speaker 2: that looked at Jazz Chisholm with Brandon Fott homers. Brandon
Speaker 2: Fought gives up a lot of homers, so there might
Speaker 2: be a play with the Marlins. That's again me being like,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go with beat Alonzo going up against Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: It's a great destination. Luke Weaver a little bit dicey here,
Speaker 2: So let's go with Alonzo and a big fly trying
Speaker 2: to get closer to double digits. I want to get
Speaker 2: on that board. I've got seven, let's get eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, still behigh. I get the six today, that'd be good.
Speaker 1: Here's one from Chris in the chat. How long are
Speaker 1: we holding Matt Mervis for? Have been striking out a
Speaker 1: lot since he's been up. Look, this is what you
Speaker 1: gotta do. You gotta just be patient with these kids,
Speaker 1: Like this is if you can sit him, you sit him.
Speaker 1: You wait till he shows you a little bit of life.
Speaker 1: But nervis. I think we know he's a guy who's
Speaker 1: gonna have some swing and miss, but he's gonna have
Speaker 1: some big power as well, So I think you kind
Speaker 1: of know what you're getting into.
Speaker 2: You can't pick up any of these guys and be
Speaker 2: frustrated after five games, like you just gotta roll. Like
Speaker 2: my if I'm going to invest in any of these rookies,
Speaker 2: if it's a hitter, you gotta do minimum two weeks.
Speaker 2: You got to not even think about what's going on
Speaker 2: after two weeks. You really, especially with bigger prospect names,
Speaker 2: you should commit to like a month pictures. You got
Speaker 2: to get like three or four starts, you know, like
Speaker 2: Brandon Fott last week. Lol, haha, Brandon Fott suck, but like,
Speaker 2: let's see what happens today, and let's see what happens
Speaker 2: in the next start. It's two decent matchups. He keeps
Speaker 2: giving up four homers a game. Say you kick it
Speaker 2: to the rocks. I'll send him a jar of farts
Speaker 2: if he does that. Otherwise, let's wait it out a
Speaker 2: little bit, all right, respect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the one other thing too wonky was questioning if
Speaker 1: anybody knows who Rodny Dangerfield is in this chat, and
Speaker 1: that would make my hard reference if he didn't the
Speaker 1: references in here. Yeah, but I will say this, if
Speaker 1: you don't go watch Back to School. It absolutely holds up.
Speaker 1: It's still hilarious. I think I'll watch it, like a
Speaker 1: year ago. It was one of my favorite movie. I
Speaker 1: remember as a kid being taken to that movie when
Speaker 1: I was probably too young to see that movie. You
Speaker 1: also see a young Robert Downey junior playing the other
Speaker 1: with his friend, his son's friend who lives in the
Speaker 1: dorm with him. It is hilarious. It's a great eighties movie.
Speaker 2: Gonna hate about me School.
Speaker 1: School.
Speaker 2: I just don't recall I wasn't my most memorable Rodney
Speaker 2: Dangerfield movie. This is very nineties of me is natural
Speaker 2: born killers. When he plays what's her Name is?
Speaker 1: Dan? Some people saying lady bugs, I mean Caddy Shack.
Speaker 1: He's brilliant in I mean, of course he would be
Speaker 1: Caddy Shack. That I wonder about what you're doing with
Speaker 1: your life. But another easy money him and Joe PESHI
Speaker 1: that's a fun.
Speaker 2: Great group. My actually favorite thing about Rodney Dingerfield is
Speaker 2: I'm a big comedy guy. I listened to lots of
Speaker 2: comedy podcasts. I like hearing comedians relive their experiences with
Speaker 2: Rodney Dangerfield. That's actually my favorite intertwining with Dangerfield because
Speaker 2: a lot of people have had time with him and
Speaker 2: funny interactions and the roads.
Speaker 1: And he was such a great supporter of comedians, which
Speaker 1: was so cool, Like so many careers launched because of him.
Speaker 1: In that nightclub he owned where you know, he gave
Speaker 1: people shots and opportunities. So there you go, and we
Speaker 1: appreciate you giving us a shot an opportunity every single day.
