Speaker 1: Leading off starts right now. What's up, everybody, it's your friend.
Speaker 1: Oh it's Chris Welsh. That over there, that's Kelly Kirby,
Speaker 1: the Wonky Penguin. A little bit of congestion, a little bit.
Speaker 1: We went downhill, just a tiny bit. I'm pulling a
Speaker 1: Buckston Kelly was going yesterday and I'm fading.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: At least i'm playing though, Actually that's the difference. At
Speaker 1: least I'm out here playing.
Speaker 2: That is very true. I am proud of you for
Speaker 2: pushing through and not hitting the il.
Speaker 1: So thank you. Yeah. We joked before the show that
Speaker 1: I said Derek Kelly might have the Wonky five, which
Speaker 1: might be the Wonky twenty where I'll just get all right.
Speaker 1: Kelly just talked about stuff. I'm gonna sit over here
Speaker 1: and blow my nose and cough for the next little bit.
Speaker 1: But I dy quilled up. I think I'll be all
Speaker 1: right and we get to talk a lot about some
Speaker 1: baseball stuff that's going down. Actually was a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of news through and through, and let's get into it first.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 1: You know, it's actually funny is a lot of the
Speaker 1: headlines are injury centric, but we're not quite putting them
Speaker 1: into the injury category. Number one was Brandon Belt and
Speaker 1: Brandon Belt dealing with an injury that apparently might be
Speaker 1: career ending and career threatening. He had said, quote, this
Speaker 1: one is barking a little bit more. There's just not
Speaker 1: a lot more than anyone can do. They've literally done
Speaker 1: everything and they can't figure it out. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: there's anything that can be done. And he's a free
Speaker 1: agent after this year. The thirty five year old looking
Speaker 1: like Brandon Belt might be done.
Speaker 2: So Kelly, Yeah, it doesn't sound good anytime that somebody
Speaker 2: says that they can't figure out what to do, and
Speaker 2: when you're in your mid thirties. And I mean, he
Speaker 2: was always kind of an on base machine, like in general.
Speaker 2: So but I feel like his hitting just has been
Speaker 2: declining over the last couple of years. So maybe he'll
Speaker 2: hang it up. It just depends on what side of
Speaker 2: the dealing with his own mortality he's on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like to say, I figured like career enders are,
Speaker 1: you know, near the top of the list of a headliner.
Speaker 1: But the two biggest pieces really actually three biggest pieces
Speaker 1: that covered yesterday Sandy Patters Fernando Tatis addressed the media.
Speaker 1: He talked to the media said there's no excuses for
Speaker 1: the eighty game drug suspension, and he's also going to
Speaker 1: have shoulder surgery. So two things came out of this
Speaker 1: for me. One is that like that press conference was
Speaker 1: treated so much so like somebody that was just admitting
Speaker 1: to the steroid use. That wasn't like I screwed up
Speaker 1: that he was controlling. He was like, sad, agents, I
Speaker 1: really screwed up. Wait till people see what I can do.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. It
Speaker 1: didn't feel like someone that actually in reality screwed up
Speaker 1: with ringworm medication. That seemed like somebody that we all
Speaker 1: know what's going on and we're all just pretending it's
Speaker 1: about the ring worm and he is there saying like, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I screwed up. I screwed up. I screwed up.
Speaker 1: Like if I I just took to day Quill, there's
Speaker 1: something in there that I wasn't supposed to do with
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros, I'd be like, I'm sorry, that was my bad.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be like I'm gonna have a press
Speaker 1: conference and say I wouldn't feel that bad because it
Speaker 1: was just it was a dumb mistake that felt like
Speaker 1: someone that was full on emittance of steroids Kelly it did.
Speaker 2: It also felt like I felt like the team sort
Speaker 2: of made a deal with him, like you have to
Speaker 2: do this, you have to do this press conference. And
Speaker 2: I'm amazed that he kind of capitulated to having the surgery,
Speaker 2: where I'm like, how much pressure is the team putting
Speaker 2: on tattoos right now to sort of become this like humble,
Speaker 2: don't hurt your image, try to recover things down.
Speaker 1: Off for like paintings and stuff. They were like taking
Speaker 1: them on. Just really weird situation. Then the second is
Speaker 1: he opts for the shoulder surgery, which is like a
Speaker 1: wild cop out. And there's a part of me that
Speaker 1: was like, don't you think like MLB, if they were
Speaker 1: really trying to like crack down, they'd say, all right,
Speaker 1: well the suspension is gonna start after the shoulder surgery.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna start right now, because I don't know.
Speaker 1: It just seems so odd, like a no brainer, and
Speaker 1: attach it to you probably should have had the shoulder
Speaker 1: surgery earlier on you opted not to against I believe
Speaker 1: it was the padres and the doctor's orders, and now
Speaker 1: he's doing it like this is a guy that's just
Speaker 1: he's giving it all up. He's just like, all right,
Speaker 1: I don't have any of that control that this you know,
Speaker 1: young twenties multi millionaire superstar of MLB has anymore. He's
Speaker 1: just kind of laying over and praying someone to pet
Speaker 1: his tummy at this point.
Speaker 2: Kelly, he is, and I think that again, I wonder
Speaker 2: if they're taking away his motorcycles, that would probably be
Speaker 2: the next step.
Speaker 1: I like jesse El, I like to pretend the Padres
Speaker 1: are like his dad. They're just like, you can't have
Speaker 1: you're grounded, you're grounded.
Speaker 2: I do like jesse L's comment where Preano tutis I
Speaker 2: did not have performing enhancing relations with that ringworm. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I think that's just where he is, and
Speaker 2: with his age and with everything else, they're just kind
Speaker 2: of putting a lot of pressure on him to shape up,
Speaker 2: which is you kind of have to do sometimes with
Speaker 2: guys that young.
Speaker 1: The whole process was just weird to me. The whole
Speaker 1: thing was just like, I'm gonna now do what they
Speaker 1: said before. I'm super sorry it had it seemed like
Speaker 1: nothing about the stupid ringworm. And you know, let's question
Speaker 1: how quick he recovers, because some stuff he did before
Speaker 1: might have been quicker recovery. So let's see if that's
Speaker 1: going to continuously go on. The other big piece of
Speaker 1: news was another injury. Los Angeles Dodgers Walker Bueller is
Speaker 1: undergoing Tommy John surgery a flexor tendon repair, and he
Speaker 1: will be out the entire year next year. You shouldn't
Speaker 1: expect him, though. I think the timeline works where he
Speaker 1: might be able to kick right off in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: but he's out the entire year next.
Speaker 2: Year, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, yeah, I was. I was a year ahead.
Speaker 1: He's out twenty twenty three. Twenty twenty four would be
Speaker 1: when he theoretically could return.
Speaker 2: Right, So what do you do with him? In dynasty leagues?
Speaker 1: I'm in dynasty where you're covering everybody. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's necessarily a problem, Like, if you're holding your entire roster,
Speaker 1: you're not going to just go dump them, Like what
Speaker 1: would be the purpose of it, unless like it's you know,
Speaker 1: you can only keep twenty five yeah, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: But then what do you choose him between like Eric
Speaker 1: Fetti and Walker Bueller, I would hold same way. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people held with Tyler glass Now
Speaker 1: like I held Tyler glass Now in a league in
Speaker 1: Scott White's Big Points League last year because he was
Speaker 1: cheap and I kept going. But if you're in a
Speaker 1: keeper league and you're any less than ten, I think
Speaker 1: it's a no brainer that you dump them. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's anybody that you even consider. If you're in
Speaker 1: like one of those middle keeper dynasties, I think you
Speaker 1: could hold. But I don't really see any scenario outside
Speaker 1: of a deep, deep dynasty or carry him, do you No,
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I you know, I don't play in a full on
Speaker 2: dynasty league, but I do have a keeper kind of
Speaker 2: keeper dynasty thing going on, and the guy that owns
Speaker 2: Walker Bueler has been kind of in a sort of
Speaker 2: chatting in discord about like what he's going to do,
Speaker 2: how he's going to decide, and I think that it's
Speaker 2: very hard. I dropped Glass Now in a sort of
Speaker 2: that same keeper dynasty legu last year after he.
Speaker 1: How many keepers, mostly because it was going.
Speaker 2: To keep he was going to cost me too much
Speaker 2: salary wise.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, you can salary attached. That makes it how
Speaker 1: many keepers in that one in which one O the
Speaker 1: one the your league with the glass the glass down league.
Speaker 2: It's whoever you want to keep for the salary. It
Speaker 2: goes off five hours every year.
Speaker 1: Salary gotcha.
Speaker 2: And I'd had him since the minor leagues, so I was,
Speaker 2: but it was too expensive, by the way.
Speaker 1: He's also reported that Glassman hasn't ruled out returning this year.
Speaker 1: There's something so on that he threw just yesterday the
Speaker 1: other two pieces. Bryce Harper started his rehab assignment and
Speaker 1: hit two bombs yesterday, and I I think young boy's ready.
Speaker 1: I think boy's ready to come back up. I wish
Speaker 1: more of these guys would just rehabit the major league,
Speaker 1: so just get back like a guy like Harper who's
Speaker 1: been there long enough. I just don't really just don't
Speaker 1: get the benefit. I mean, I suppose if you haven't
Speaker 1: looked at a whole lot of pitches a lot lately, maybe,
Speaker 1: but you don't understand these guys are out there. They're
Speaker 1: doing simulated games way before they hit rehab stands with
Speaker 1: a guy like Harper, they're doing with the Kershaw. They're
Speaker 1: doing with Kershaw where Kershaw is not gonna have any
Speaker 1: rehab starts. He's just gonna come to the majors. I
Speaker 1: wish they would do that. I just don't see the
Speaker 1: benefit to the minor leagues. It's great, let's just get
Speaker 1: that at the majors and go. And this totally doesn't
Speaker 1: have to do with my tout team that I could use.
Speaker 2: Harper back, Absolutely not, And especially with the MVP or
Speaker 2: the DH now, like a former MVP doesn't need to
Speaker 2: warm up in the miners. You just have him bat
Speaker 2: and take his at bats in the major leagues. And
Speaker 2: I mean, who else are you filling in there?
Speaker 1: So yeah, and what is it? Just a guy that's
Speaker 1: been around for so long. It's one thing if it's
Speaker 1: like a young like a Josh Rojas or something, a
Speaker 1: young guy. But it's like Harper's been around baseball for
Speaker 1: a really long time, like just learn it at that level.
Speaker 1: And I think he'd be all right. I think so,
Speaker 1: But hit a couple of bombs. I'd make people happy.
Speaker 1: Over on the injury front, here we've got Byron Buxton,
Speaker 1: who hit the il No Bueno Juan Soto is likely
Speaker 1: to be held out again on Wednesday. He was scratched
Speaker 1: from their lineup on Tuesday after his back locked up
Speaker 1: while taking pregame practice. Got the Sodo stuff, It's it's
Speaker 1: just been nothing close of what they wanted. Do you
Speaker 1: feel a Sodo run happening? You feel like a Soto
Speaker 1: turn on in September getting into the playoffs? Do you
Speaker 1: see this happening? Do you think it's just kind of
Speaker 1: a lost like he's not playing bad or anything, but
Speaker 1: this is just not the phenomenal phenomen I mean, many
Speaker 1: Machada still looks like the best player on that team
Speaker 1: right now. Sodo is just not playing at that level
Speaker 1: since the move.
Speaker 2: He's not. And I actually one thing that I was
Speaker 2: thinking about yesterday was did if the team knew about Tatus, like,
Speaker 2: you know, enough to get Drury, did they tell Sodo?
Speaker 2: Did they tell Sodo about it? Did he go there
Speaker 2: thinking that Tatis was gonna you know this, this was
Speaker 2: his move? And and yeah, so that is actually my question,
Speaker 2: just a kind of for information. I know that the
Speaker 2: Nats traded him, but.
Speaker 1: That's a great question because Tatis and Sodo were reportedly
Speaker 1: like best friends. They're like great friends. So I'll bet you.
Speaker 1: The Padres did not say a word, but I wonder
Speaker 1: if Tatis might have said something like, Hey, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be glad to have you here, but I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be here. I don't know. Sodo seemed a little
Speaker 1: bit more shocked than everybody else. Everybody else kind of
Speaker 1: had a like, go you know type of thing, like
Speaker 1: everybody knew. I mean to think that this entire organization
Speaker 1: didn't know for months and months, I think as simple.
Speaker 1: I think everybody's reaction told you the entirety about it.
Speaker 1: Sotos was a little bit more like, man, I just
Speaker 1: can't believe this. He seemed to be a little tongue
Speaker 1: tied when he had answered that question. It's a good question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so the actual question that you asked me,
Speaker 2: I don't see that coming. I mean, last year, after
Speaker 2: the after the All Star break, right, he just turned
Speaker 2: on every jet that he had and just cruised to
Speaker 2: the finish. And this year, I just feel like everything's
Speaker 2: kind of out of sync, and all of the Padres
Speaker 2: moves are sort of flat, with Drury.
Speaker 1: And Drury falling off too, like Vapors said, and last
Speaker 1: night that bad strikeout call just I mean, just bad luck.
Speaker 1: Going on, Yeah, they all have the there was that
Speaker 1: Drury Grand Slam. But when have you heard from Drury
Speaker 1: with the Padres outside of that one big hit, you
Speaker 1: haven't heard anything.
Speaker 2: No. I think he got like one homer against in
Speaker 2: the Washington series, and otherwise I can't remember him doing anything.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. And then and Eloy Jimenez X Rays came
Speaker 1: back negative after he was hit on the left elbow.
Speaker 1: He was hit by a one hundred and two mile
Speaker 1: an hour fastball from Felix Batista and he actually got
Speaker 1: is somebody that has been like perpetually hurt and he
Speaker 1: was able to avoid that big, big time luck right.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, one hundred percent. I also if I ever
Speaker 2: got hit with one hundred and two point three mile
Speaker 2: per hour first ball like that, would I'd have to
Speaker 2: retire just from life in general. So I think the
Speaker 2: fact that it's not broken is just crazy to me.
Speaker 1: I think I got hit by like a fifty mile
Speaker 1: an hour like ground or pop up when I was
Speaker 1: in like Little League baseball, and I remember that just
Speaker 1: changing the trajectory of my life. Can you imagine one
Speaker 1: oh two just right there? But he had an elbow
Speaker 1: guard on there, So I think that's what say, ye
Speaker 1: got a bubble boy all these players at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. Let's go take a look at some
Speaker 1: stat heroes. Trace Thompson had a homer. Alex Bregman three
Speaker 1: for four with a homer, picking it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Marcus Simeon had a bomb two RBIs two for five.
Speaker 1: Bobby wit Second, I think he's right two homers behind
Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez for the rookie home run title right now,
Speaker 1: went homer, one rbi, two runs, Nolan Aernato three for
Speaker 1: four with a homer, Corey Dickerson four for five for
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Tommy Edmond also a homer, three RBIs, lots
Speaker 1: of offensive output. Tyler O'Neill had a homer, Eloyd did
Speaker 1: hit a bomb before getting hit. And Christian Bettencourt had
Speaker 1: a homer with three RBI and I believe he also pitched.
Speaker 1: I believe he got in and pitched and had a
Speaker 1: scoreless sign Yeah, people, they were getting they're getting walloped.
Speaker 1: On the picture side, this was a wild one. Justin
Speaker 1: Verlander actually screwed up the headlines too. I meant to
Speaker 1: talk about this at the headline. I moved the Breton
Speaker 1: belt one there, justin Verlander went six, struck out ten
Speaker 1: no hit innings and the Astros brought him out. Kelly,
Speaker 1: were you watching this that the Astros took him out
Speaker 1: after the no hit innings? And I'm a firm like,
Speaker 1: you never come out if you have a no hitter.
Speaker 1: I don't care about the circumstance. It never matters to me.
Speaker 2: Have I gotten to be bitter on show yet about
Speaker 2: Clinton Kershaw getting pulled after eighty with a perfect game
Speaker 2: to keep him off the IL? So yeah, no, I'm
Speaker 2: not a fan of that. And it's Verlander. How many
Speaker 2: pitches does Verlander have to throw before he would actually
Speaker 2: get tired? And I need to come out? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: just feel like it's infinity at this point. So no,
Speaker 2: I wasn't a big fan of that at all.
Speaker 1: I remember seeing it live. I was watching that game
Speaker 1: because I had a bet on Jordan Alvarez two total bases.
Speaker 1: He got one. His family was in attendance. It's one
Speaker 1: of those dumb gambly things where you're like, Oh, his
Speaker 1: family for the first time is seeing him in a
Speaker 1: professional thing. And I was like scouring online while I
Speaker 1: was watching, and Buddy Paul Sporr who loves Verlander, was like,
Speaker 1: what are we talking about here? He was like chastising,
Speaker 1: He was like, what are we talking about here? People
Speaker 1: are saying the broadcast is talking about Verlander coming out?
Speaker 1: What kind of sillyness is this? And then he came out,
Speaker 1: and then they got him out and he was at
Speaker 1: like Gruby said, he was at ninety run, ninety ninety one.
Speaker 1: Just no way, just no. I mean Verland. If there's
Speaker 1: a picture that knows how to turn on, how to
Speaker 1: just start hitting to contact, you know, and not trying
Speaker 1: to strike out pictures, it's him. I'm just shocked. But
Speaker 1: it's management this time of year. Astros have bigger plans.
Speaker 1: I get it. But taking a guy out a no hitter,
Speaker 1: I don't think so ten strike out, six innings beautiful.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a beautiful game. I don't think the perfect
Speaker 1: game they wouldn't taken him out.
Speaker 2: Well it says no hits or no walks.
Speaker 1: Was there an error that must have been because they
Speaker 1: were talking, I didn't see like what it was if
Speaker 1: he hit a bat her or whatever. But if it
Speaker 1: was a perfect game, there's no way you take the
Speaker 1: perfect game out right.
Speaker 2: Right, So if you so if you were to go
Speaker 2: back to back to draft season right and like where
Speaker 2: would you draft him? Because I know everyone kind of
Speaker 2: had this weird like I don't know how he's going
Speaker 2: to be type of thing on on.
Speaker 1: I think he would probably be three or four. I
Speaker 1: think easy top five. That's not even a question. You
Speaker 1: know what A good one would have been Verlander or
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer. Which of the oldies? Which one do you?
Speaker 1: Which one do you want? Sureser or Verlander?
Speaker 2: When I did some best Ball drafts right like January February,
Speaker 2: because it's baseball and I have to do that, But
Speaker 2: I think I went to Sures are like four or
Speaker 2: five different spots that I have no Verlander.
Speaker 1: But right now would you right now.
Speaker 2: Right now, I would take right now, I take Berlander.
Speaker 1: I would I would prefer to take over Verlander.
Speaker 2: Honestly, with McClanahan doing what he's been doing. De Gram,
Speaker 2: I'm just I call myself the de Grump because I'm
Speaker 2: just I stay out of all Jacob de Gram things.
Speaker 2: So I would I would take Berlander.
Speaker 1: I would take the Grum. I would always take to Grum.
Speaker 1: Max Fried went eight, struck out seven, gave up one
Speaker 1: earned run, Carlos Daon struck out ten, going seven, giving
Speaker 1: up five hits and won earn. Robbie Ray struck out
Speaker 1: seven and six and two thirds. Pablo Lopez five strikeouts,
Speaker 1: six innings, four hits. I was actually kind of betting
Speaker 1: against him in one of those. For the total runs
Speaker 1: through five on your stat zero's Jake cave Oh for
Speaker 1: four with four strikeouts, TRNK Grisham had four k's your
Speaker 1: offers with three k's Julio Rodriguez, Kyle Schwerber, Franci Cordeo,
Speaker 1: and Caesar Hernandez. Julio, do you think there's any possibility
Speaker 1: that Adley or Bobby Witt catch Julio Rodriguez On that
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year coming out here, we talked that
Speaker 1: Adley moved into second place. I think when Bobby starts
Speaker 1: getting rolling a little bit, he gets into that conversation.
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any possibility anyone overpasses Julio? And
Speaker 1: if so, who is it?
Speaker 2: I think the only way that anyone passes Julio is
Speaker 2: if Baltimore somehow, some way sneaks into the playoffs, then
Speaker 2: I think Adley has a shot, But otherwise he's got
Speaker 2: too much momentum, and with the home run deer you
Speaker 2: win or the second place finish, I think that's he's
Speaker 2: probably kind of pretty solid right now, even with this slump.
Speaker 2: I think it'll be okay.
Speaker 1: I guess the assumption would have been like if Julio
Speaker 1: struggled over the next month and he just kind of
Speaker 1: like really tapered down and you had both those guys,
Speaker 1: it probably still is Adli. The war numbers are going
Speaker 1: to play a big toll in it of how valuable
Speaker 1: he's been in a short period of time, So it
Speaker 1: is probably Adly and Adley is around plus two hundred
Speaker 1: something for that award, so it's not like a gimme,
Speaker 1: gimme over on the pitcher side. When Kowski, I think
Speaker 1: we talked about him on the k PROP as one
Speaker 1: of the algorithm ones, and I think it was three.
Speaker 1: He only had two give up six earned runs, and
Speaker 1: two and two thirds Corbyn Burns three and two thirds
Speaker 1: gave up seven earned runs, and Adrian Samson five earned runs,
Speaker 1: giving up a couple bombs eight hits. No bueno home
Speaker 1: run calls. Wonky set us up for what the Wonky
Speaker 1: Wednesday home run call is looking like.
Speaker 2: So this goes out a shout out to actively Lazy,
Speaker 2: who has my favorite username on Discord. But we were
Speaker 2: chatting about something and he said, I think you should
Speaker 2: do a respect your elders bonus, And so for today,
Speaker 2: if you pick a player whose current age is thirty
Speaker 2: two or older, you'll get a bonus point for each
Speaker 2: home run that he hits. So everyone run out and
Speaker 2: picked pool holes as fast as you can.
Speaker 1: But are you you know you could have done too.
Speaker 1: Here'd have been another one. Every age over thirty two
Speaker 1: you get an extra homer. So it's like, if you
Speaker 1: picked pool holes and he had a homer, you get
Speaker 1: like ten points. To make it crazy, that would have
Speaker 1: been well. By the way, can I just point out
Speaker 1: how like much it hurts that we're acknowledging that thirty
Speaker 1: two are our elders for us that are over way
Speaker 1: over thirty two, not quite forty, but still over thirty. Like,
Speaker 1: there's some people in the chat that are definitely triggered
Speaker 1: beyond that too, thirty two being our elders.
Speaker 2: Kelly, I am one day younger than elberpool Holes.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so one day.
Speaker 2: So if I had to respect my elder, I think
Speaker 2: he's the only one left that I could call.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Oh yeah, I was about to say, if
Speaker 1: do I, if I had to respect my own elder.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many I am. It might be
Speaker 1: only pool holes as well. I'm thirty nine, so I
Speaker 1: don't know how many thirty nine year old pluses. I
Speaker 1: think it's only pool holes.
Speaker 2: Right, I think maybe? Yeah, I think so, because you
Speaker 2: have to be good enough to stick around that long.
Speaker 1: So Fronco turned sixty four yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is he still playing minor league baseball soccer?
Speaker 1: He looks fantastic too. He's a He's a nomaly. On
Speaker 1: the home run calls didn't have any changes at the top.
Speaker 1: We don't have a graphic, but High Cuve's still have
Speaker 1: forty six. All the forties are pretty much the same,
Speaker 1: except Cat Fox moved up with a Mitch Haanniker Homer.
Speaker 1: We got a couple people from a Judge and Sime
Speaker 1: and Homer that are pushing up into the forties, but
Speaker 1: it is still high Cubby twenty sixteen at forty six,
Speaker 1: de Blum at forty five, Go Cards at forty three,
Speaker 1: Terry and Mike Meyer at forty two, and Cat Fox
Speaker 1: at forty one. Those are what the homerun calls look like.
Speaker 1: And friends, we are going to do some bets, but
Speaker 1: of course when we do we wear our tiara or
Speaker 1: crowns I wear at har today. For bet MGM, use

Speaker 1: as always the to stake that off.
Speaker 2: Are you going to tell us who sent these to you?
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you right at the end of
Speaker 1: the show. I'm gonna tell you who who sent these
Speaker 1: to me? Because I did get confirmation for the tiara.
Speaker 1: We've got the top algorithm play for betting pros on
Speaker 1: the total basis, the top algorithm play for strikeouts, and
Speaker 1: then I took the top plus money play for both
Speaker 1: of those as well. Digging through betting pros MLB prop
Speaker 1: cheat sheet, which you guys can go and check out yourself,
Speaker 1: and I highly suggest you do. The top play for
Speaker 1: total bases is wildly juiced because it is only at
Speaker 1: one and it's Jorge Mateo Orge Mateo against the White Sox.
Speaker 1: You only need one hit, but it is minus one nine.
Speaker 1: You gotta pair that with something that's not a betable place,
Speaker 1: So you gotta pair that. Maybe put that part of
Speaker 1: a total base parlay. Maybe do two or three. That
Speaker 1: would be a really fun one on the On the
Speaker 1: other one, the top plus money play, sorry I didn't,
Speaker 1: it's only one I don't have a picture for. Was
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro against Dodgers. He is plus one thirty five
Speaker 1: at two total basis projected to go a little over too,
Speaker 1: so plus money Renfro top play Mateo your strikeouts. You
Speaker 1: have Jose Arena who only needs three strikeouts and it's
Speaker 1: used to one forty five minus one forty five up
Speaker 1: against Texas. That one's probably gonna hit if we're being
Speaker 1: honest against Texas, but again you might want to parlay that. Hell,
Speaker 1: parlay Mateo and Urina and see what happens. And then
Speaker 1: the plus money play of the day is Jose Burriels
Speaker 1: at plus one oh five only four and a half
Speaker 1: is the numbers you need five strikeouts against the Boston
Speaker 1: Red Sox. I personally like that one. Kelly, what do
Speaker 1: you like on these four plays?
Speaker 2: I love the hunter Renfro one. They're facing Andrew Heaney,
Speaker 2: I believe, who was fairly terrible against them recently. And
Speaker 2: you know Renfro likes left handed pitchers, soul I would
Speaker 2: go with that one. Brios is second only to Odo
Speaker 2: is he in terms of guys whose props I try
Speaker 2: to stay away from because you know today today is
Speaker 2: he due for one of his life six innings forty
Speaker 2: five strikeouts, Like I don't suck anymore. Everybody buy back
Speaker 2: in a little do okay? So five, I could see
Speaker 2: that one I liked. I liked that one when I looked.
Speaker 2: But and but I do think the it is it rain. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think he is a He's a good bet to
Speaker 2: go three because Texas loves to strike out so.
Speaker 1: And like you said, Brios is like all or nothing.
Speaker 1: So he struck out nine Yankees in his last outing,
Speaker 1: six and two thirds got nine strikeouts. Remember you need
Speaker 1: five here, he's too previous to this, he struck out
Speaker 1: one against Cleveland and one against Minnesota. But in the
Speaker 1: month of July he would have hit this prop every
Speaker 1: single game but one, and there were six starts in
Speaker 1: the month of July for him. He had six, seven, seven, thirteen, six,
Speaker 1: and they had a three strikeout run. So it is
Speaker 1: absolutely possible when Brios is on. So you have to
Speaker 1: ask yourself this a good matchup. I kind of think
Speaker 1: so that he's on, I don't mind this bet, and
Speaker 1: it's plus money. If it were any juice, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: play it at all. I think all of these have
Speaker 1: some viability to play MATEO. I think, like you said,
Speaker 1: how juiced it is, I'm I'm less interested, but you
Speaker 1: only need one hit. So those are some play for you.
Speaker 1: Over on the DFS side, pull some fan duel stuff.
Speaker 1: Here's some pitching prices for you guys. Kyle Wright's at
Speaker 1: ten to four, Hasu's Lozardo nine to six, McClanahan eleven
Speaker 1: to two, Barrios is at eight to two, Gallon at
Speaker 1: ten to eight. Do you have a favorite based on
Speaker 1: price there?
Speaker 2: Kelly, Oh yeah, I mean I'm really in on Gallon today.
Speaker 2: I like him so I.
Speaker 1: Like Gallon Brios might be sneaky because I don't think
Speaker 1: he's going to be played, and you're just purely betting
Speaker 1: on the idea that, like, you know, he's going to
Speaker 1: be on and if you hit that strikeout marker, it's
Speaker 1: probably going to be a whirlwin. I also like the
Speaker 1: Lozardo one, probably staying away from McClanahan, staying away from
Speaker 1: Kyle right. There were a couple other high priced ones
Speaker 1: I didn't put in here for lineup stacks. We've had
Speaker 1: some weird like offensive output going on the last like
Speaker 1: day or two, and it looks like this is supposed
Speaker 1: to be an offensive day. There were I think maybe
Speaker 1: up to I may have missed one seven teams with
Speaker 1: implied team totals of five or more runs for their
Speaker 1: team alone. Some of those teams, Houston Angels, Saint Louis, Toronto, Colorado,
Speaker 1: and Atlanta all projected this according to Fantasy Labs, with
Speaker 1: a team total over five. So you know what is it.
Speaker 1: I think Tampa might have been the other one, or
Speaker 1: I honed in on Tampa because I just like the matchup.
Speaker 1: David Prault would be someone I would be looking at
Speaker 1: playing today. You know some of the elder statements. I
Speaker 1: think Bubba talked about poolholes being kind of cheap, so
Speaker 1: you could take a look at that, and let's send
Speaker 1: this bad boy out with the home run call.
Speaker 2: Of the day.
Speaker 1: Elder statesman thirty two or older, you get an extra homer, Kelly,
Speaker 1: who is your respect your elder's.
Speaker 2: Home run call?
Speaker 1: Speed?
Speaker 2: I have him on my fantasy team, and I had
Speaker 2: him benched against a lefty once and I regretted it forever.
Speaker 2: So I'm going Andrew McCutchen against teeny.
Speaker 1: I like that Andrew mccutche one. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: my boy always gets me. I'm gonna go with Goldie.
Speaker 1: Goldie thirty four years old, easy play, elder Statesman. My
Speaker 1: guy matchup's pretty good. I don't I don't see a
Speaker 1: Mayor updated one. And Joe doesn't get to play because
Speaker 1: he's Aaron Judge, so he has to go away, all right.
Speaker 1: My official line, we've got five and two thirds, two
Speaker 1: earned runs, three k's and a win. Wonky with a
Speaker 1: full inning, three k's and the safe. Yes, I needed
Speaker 1: relief help today. Thank you, doctor Glenn. This definitely wouldn't
Speaker 1: have been a long outing I would have hoped for
Speaker 1: more strikeouts, but you know, I'll take the win in
Speaker 1: five and two thirds. Not a quality start. Well, she's
Speaker 1: struggling a little bit today, so Wonky, thank you for
Speaker 1: coming in and just closing the game down like you did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, sometimes you got to get crafty, and that's
Speaker 2: just what she did when you didn't have your best stuff. Also,
Speaker 2: I mind you real quick before you reveal that Groovy
Speaker 2: t is asking whether we should start Gelito at Baltimore.
Speaker 2: I'm not starting gelato like ever, So that's where I'm
Speaker 2: at with him.
Speaker 1: No, I don't have a don't know who's worst, Geeledo
Speaker 1: or Burrios. If you had to choose one, Gelido or
Speaker 1: Bury Kelly.
Speaker 2: Quit based, No, I would go with Brios. I think
Speaker 2: Actually Gilios just looked terrible.
Speaker 1: I think I would too. I like that all right.
Speaker 1: So the crown. The other day, I came home there
Speaker 1: was a package in front of my door. Didn't know
Speaker 1: what it was. Opened it up. There were ten tiaras
Speaker 1: in here. Anyone that's new obviously just doesn't know the
Speaker 1: bit where Joe's had his awesome crown all year. I
Speaker 1: had my daughter's tiara. I put it on. Some of
Speaker 1: you liked it, probably some of you don't, and many
Speaker 1: are probably indifferent. But then my daughter took it away
Speaker 1: and I couldn't find it, and she won't tell me
Speaker 1: where it is because you've got pissed that I had
Speaker 1: stolen it. So all of a sudden, weeks go by
Speaker 1: and this these get sent to me, and I got
Speaker 1: lots of different flavors. By the way, I probably should
Speaker 1: have asked you if different colors a red one, there's
Speaker 1: a blue one. I stole a couple and I didn't
Speaker 1: know who did it, and my thought was Jesse l
Speaker 1: who's an itl army guy, a friend of mine, and
Speaker 1: I thought Jesse might have done it. He said no.
Speaker 1: After the show of this reveal, I got a phone
Speaker 1: call five minutes after the show. It was cousin Donnie.
Speaker 1: Cousin Donnie did do it, and we found out I
Speaker 1: think that was Gokard's guest. I think that was your guest.
Speaker 1: He had actually sent it weeks before and piece of
Speaker 1: pa gave him the wrong address, so he had been
Speaker 1: sitting in limbo and it had been nowhere and he
Speaker 1: was ready to try to like hand deliver it. He
Speaker 1: finally got the address. It finally came two or three
Speaker 1: weeks later, and thank you to cousin Donnie. I will
Speaker 1: bust out the red Ruby the Red Ruby crown for
Speaker 1: tomorrow to get these game used in so easy money
Speaker 1: pays off Cousin Donnie with the crown. Good guesses for
Speaker 1: all of you. Kelly, thank you so much for rocking today.
Speaker 1: What do you got going on that people need to
Speaker 1: know about?
Speaker 2: Oh? I was gonna have an answer, but then I
Speaker 2: had to take my dog to the vet. So I
Speaker 2: am actually doing I know this is weird, but I'm
Speaker 2: actually working on hockey rankings over at Fantracks. I write
Speaker 2: fantasy articles, so that's kind of what I'm looking at
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: I just gotta keep with my buddy Jesse Severe, who's
Speaker 1: a big hockey guy. They can get you. You should
Speaker 1: do some podcasting together or something like that. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: want to know what. I'm not a hockey guy, but
Speaker 1: two things I love about hockey. I the hockey video games,
Speaker 1: and I love hockey fantasy. It's actually really fun when
Speaker 1: you get into it and you're playing, you know, gambling. Also,
Speaker 1: I will tell you playing like the shots on goal
Speaker 1: props and stuff it's a lot of fun, so hockey
Speaker 1: can be fun in that respect. All Right, friends, that
Speaker 1: is the episode. All of you, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for hanging out. I believe Andrew Seifter is back with
Speaker 1: me tomorrow, so tune in right here to leading off,
Speaker 1: I'm the Welsh, that is the wonky Penguin, and we're
Speaker 1: out of here. My voice is going
