Speaker 1: Welcome into Fantasy pros MLB. This is Leading Off Live,
Speaker 1: brought to you by Prize Picks.
Speaker 2: Sign up today for Prize Picks and use the promo
Speaker 2: code leading Off because it's good for your health. It's
Speaker 2: me Joey p Joe Pizabia, That of course is the Welsh,
Speaker 2: and it's you the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks hanging
Speaker 2: out talking baseball.
Speaker 1: We got a lot to go through today.
Speaker 2: Razor Ramon must be a happy boy in the Peanuts
Speaker 2: and Crackerjacks chat. Because Welsh, his Cincinnati Reds are at
Speaker 2: the top of the National League Central who thought, let's
Speaker 2: go end. We are inching ever closer to our fourteen
Speaker 2: thousand subscriber goal. If you haven't already made sure you subscribe,
Speaker 2: click that little belt to lit goes ding. Also because Welsh,
Speaker 2: I told my daughters that if we get to fourteen
Speaker 2: k we're doing a show with mustaches.
Speaker 1: So they both subscribed.
Speaker 3: They don't like they I got to. I actually got
Speaker 3: to spend some time with your daughters when you were
Speaker 3: out here and knowing their personalities I've been. They were
Speaker 3: telling all their friends and everyone they know, so they
Speaker 3: could also probably mess with that I imagine they want
Speaker 3: you to have like evil, you know, evil henchmen.
Speaker 2: Like like I mean, I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 2: what it's gonna be. I don't want to I don't
Speaker 2: want to put a label on it. Yeah, but that
Speaker 2: stuff takes like a month at least to probably for you.
Speaker 2: You got to buy mustache, wax or kinds of things
Speaker 2: that you need. But uh, we gotta start with this.
Speaker 2: We gotta start with the big Red machine. Because Joey
Speaker 2: Vado came back yesterday, had a beautiful moment with the
Speaker 2: crowd everybody cheering for him. He went two for three
Speaker 2: with a homer. The Reds win. They're at the top
Speaker 2: of the National League Central they are now a half
Speaker 2: game above. They are nine and one over their last
Speaker 2: ten games. They have won nine games in a row. Welsh,
Speaker 2: this is great. Like I feel, we've talked all year
Speaker 2: about all these feel good stories in baseball, right the
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds right now, they might be the top one.
Speaker 3: Well, but it would have thought in the NL that
Speaker 3: the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Cincinnati Reds would be a
Speaker 3: of their division. I think both of those are big stories,
Speaker 3: but the Reds worthy, I mean I said it like
Speaker 3: six weeks ago, a month ago. I was like offhandedly talking,
Speaker 3: I'm like, ah, the red stink and blah blah blah,
Speaker 3: and Razor got all pissy and people getting mad up
Speaker 3: there in the check as I said it, because it's like, well,
Speaker 3: it's perpetually a bad team, and there were some bad pieces,
Speaker 3: and then they've started to implement in some of the
Speaker 3: young guys. The pitching was coming through, but they're doing
Speaker 3: this without Nicko Lodolo, who might have been their most
Speaker 3: lockdown pitcher of all of them. Hunter Green not this year,
Speaker 3: but Hunter Green has made it happen. They you know,
Speaker 3: they've got the pieces. Man, They've got some veteran talent.
Speaker 3: They've got some rotation pieces they need to get going here.
Speaker 3: They've also got a bullpen, they got Alexisds. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's an interesting group there, led by Matt McClain, Elie
Speaker 3: Day La Cruz, and they still got more to come.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the you know, the disappointing parts.
Speaker 2: Hunter Green going in the IL so that's no fun,
Speaker 2: Like that's that definitely hurts them.
Speaker 1: I mean the pitching and you can go out there
Speaker 1: and acquire some help. That's great.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe you could say in this but if
Speaker 2: you're the Reds, you gotta you have to support these kids.
Speaker 2: You have to send a message, and they might not
Speaker 2: want to go out there and you know, blow up
Speaker 2: the system because the system obviously is why they're competing.
Speaker 2: But I think to the to the point of if
Speaker 2: you've watched some of these teams that have rebuilt the
Speaker 2: right way, it's through young position player talent, which is
Speaker 2: why I haven't lost all hope for the Mets yet.
Speaker 2: But if you look at what the Cubs did back
Speaker 2: in the what twenty fourteen, fifteen sixteen era, Yeah, if
Speaker 2: you look at what the Astros did right bringing up
Speaker 2: Alvarez and Tucker and Bregman and all those guys, and
Speaker 2: Altuve could even be part of that discussion too. It's
Speaker 2: about building those internal systems where you have position players
Speaker 2: and then you go out there and you find prime
Speaker 2: time pitching talent that's been out there in their you know,
Speaker 2: mid thirties, because those guys typically do hit the free
Speaker 2: agent wire, and those guys you bring in those hired guns,
Speaker 2: whether it be John Lester Right or Justin Verlander, or
Speaker 2: or you make a trade for a Garrett Cole, you
Speaker 2: do that, we have enough capital.
Speaker 3: To do it, Richard said, just a tiny vidego which
Speaker 3: we talked about. And I still feel pretty strong about
Speaker 3: this Shane Bieber. You know, Shane Bieber. It seems like
Speaker 3: the guy this year that they can go out in question.
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber, that's the question.
Speaker 3: But they've got pieces throughout. I mean, I don't think
Speaker 3: Shane Bieber is gonna take big prospects. But the Reds
Speaker 3: are top to bottom. They've got big, lower end names.
Speaker 3: Carlos Orge is kind of a stud, Hector Rodriguez, these
Speaker 3: are both guys at low Ay. They've got some guys
Speaker 3: here in the Complex League. They've got upper players. But
Speaker 3: I don't think Shane Bieber. I said this the other
Speaker 3: day on IL, I think we're going to be surprised
Speaker 3: at what the return looks like in a Shane Bieber trade.
Speaker 3: And the Reds have all the pieces. They share the Complex,
Speaker 3: there's familiarity, and the Reds should be pretty hyper aggressive.
Speaker 3: And there's also like, you know, not a weird conflict
Speaker 3: of like Bieber going in divisional stuff. It's not whatsoever.
Speaker 3: I think that makes a ton of sense for this
Speaker 3: team gets some veteran leadership in the bullpen as well,
Speaker 3: guy that can go deep into games. Even though you
Speaker 3: know I don't love them for fantasy, I think it
Speaker 3: makes a ton of sense the world. I would would
Speaker 3: move them to be one of the first to make
Speaker 3: one of these trades as well. The Reds just jump
Speaker 3: right into the market.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know why people are complaining about my audio.
Speaker 2: I've got everything the same that I do every single
Speaker 2: day for all these shows, and I'm like the loud Italian.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what's going on. Well, should I
Speaker 1: say loud enough to you?
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't sound like crazy loud.
Speaker 1: We saw this thing going on here. I don't understand.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm too loud. Maybe I've become too loud and
Speaker 3: you are.
Speaker 2: I want you to be super loud. So maybe we
Speaker 2: should put a pole up as Joe's audio. See Bryan says,
Speaker 2: your audio sounds fine to me.
Speaker 3: Your audio sounds fine. I just think I am louder
Speaker 3: than yours. You're just coming in lower, like I was
Speaker 3: telling you yesterday.
Speaker 1: Should put the mic up here? Should I put I
Speaker 1: gotta talk like this, I gotta talk very close? Is
Speaker 1: that good? Like me? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Technically and rating.
Speaker 1: Hello, I'd like to order something.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm gonna talk about, the three three finger
Speaker 3: rule for good microphone skills.
Speaker 1: I'm not touching that.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the Louis Arise portion of
Speaker 2: the show because we can another five hit game, unbelievable,
Speaker 2: the Marlins crush the Blue Jays eleven nothing yesterday, Arise
Speaker 2: averages back up a D and now he is in
Speaker 2: a situation with Ty Cobbs, Dan Usual and Tony gwynn Ichiro.
Speaker 2: Those are the guys who have had four hit games
Speaker 2: in a season. He's had four five excuse me, five
Speaker 2: hit games in the season. He's had four or five
Speaker 2: hit games in a month, So that is absurd.
Speaker 3: He's playing on a whole different level. Well, you're feeling
Speaker 3: he's crazy. Man, he's crazy. I know my stuff with
Speaker 3: him and everything like that. It's awesome. He's like the
Speaker 3: coolest Points League guy. And you know, funny thing Bug
Speaker 3: and I were doing the other day is when you
Speaker 3: get into the world, like I don't play any leagues
Speaker 3: on Yahoo anymore. I don't know if you do. I
Speaker 3: play in some other sh.
Speaker 1: No no, no zero, yeah zero.
Speaker 3: I play in some other spots. But there's something I
Speaker 3: always liked back in the day about the algorithmic rank,
Speaker 3: you know, where you just go and you look, Oh,
Speaker 3: this guy is, you know, twenty fourth on Yahoo, and
Speaker 3: their whole stuff is built off of you know, whatever
Speaker 3: the hell they're doing. It's like they wait different stats
Speaker 3: to be more important. Well, I don't see that anymore
Speaker 3: because I don't play on Yahoo. I don't really play
Speaker 3: on places that have that. But to go and look
Speaker 3: and see what the algorithm puts out for some of
Speaker 3: these players is wild. And even a Rise who and
Speaker 3: this is all about a Rise here, even though you
Speaker 3: know he does nothing in your counting stats whatsoever, He's
Speaker 3: still like top seventy or sixty overall in fantasy according
Speaker 3: to Yahoo in their algorithm because his hits are so much.
Speaker 3: I just think it's always weird and crazy going and
Speaker 3: look and then kind of thinking about like, oh, how
Speaker 3: does that arbitrary rank number for them actually work? And
Speaker 3: definitely batting average has always been like a big piece
Speaker 3: of it, because like, do you think Luisa Rise is
Speaker 3: a top one hundred fantasy player?
Speaker 2: Oh, top one hundred in rodeo? See with you know,
Speaker 2: batting average being a depressed thing. I think he is
Speaker 2: as long as he's scoring runs, as long as he's
Speaker 2: getting on base, Like I mean, I think it's I
Speaker 2: think he is, and I've never been being Lewis Arise
Speaker 2: guy my coast on Sunday, Matt Striker loves him.
Speaker 1: Every year.
Speaker 2: He always talks about Lewis Rise and I get all
Speaker 2: the things you're saying too. I think he's right on
Speaker 2: that fringe because again, he is not a multidimensional player
Speaker 2: because he doesn't all a few power. He's not going
Speaker 2: to drive in a ton of runs, probably depending on
Speaker 2: who he's sitting in the batting order.
Speaker 3: He just doesn't. No runs, no stolen bases.
Speaker 1: No, that's like definitive, And I think that's that's that's
Speaker 1: the problem.
Speaker 2: That's the that's the difficult passage there when you're trying
Speaker 2: to evaluate him. But he does that one thing so
Speaker 2: well that you know, and it's such a deficit everywhere else.
Speaker 2: I means, so hard to find me who's hitting three ninety,
Speaker 2: who's hitting four hundred?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, there's no doubt formats.
Speaker 2: I get it in head to head, rotal categories, I
Speaker 2: totally get it.
Speaker 3: The top one hundred, do you believe any player who.
Speaker 1: Is right now, who are the names around that that
Speaker 1: I don't have it? You should?
Speaker 3: If you argument you should, I'm going to bring up
Speaker 3: Yahoo and all that. Well, I actually don't have a league,
Speaker 3: bog and I would create a league every year just
Speaker 3: so we could look at the ranks even if we
Speaker 3: don't play. But I don't even have a league that
Speaker 3: I'm playing on there.
Speaker 1: I don't. But like if somebody, let us know who.
Speaker 3: About this league put it in the story a top
Speaker 3: one hundred player.
Speaker 1: Again, it's like fringey. I mean in my world, no,
Speaker 1: but I understand the justification.
Speaker 3: But if a Rise is a top one hundred player,
Speaker 3: Estuary has to be a one, a top one hundred
Speaker 3: player because that's because he is the number one stolen
Speaker 3: based guy. He is two stolen bases.
Speaker 2: Specialists, the high end specialist being in the fringe of
Speaker 2: one hundred. I want to know the names of the
Speaker 2: five guys from ninety five to one hundred and one
Speaker 2: hundred to one oh five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, someone look standard five by five. Don't don't do it.
Speaker 3: If you have like an ob league or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't do that. Don't do that. Let's do the
Speaker 1: rookie lookie.
Speaker 2: Though Henry Davis made his debut, had a double one
Speaker 2: a walk, not too shabby, so we'll keep a close
Speaker 2: eye on him. Spoiler alert, he will be in the
Speaker 2: the video this week for the Way of Wire.
Speaker 1: I got to talk about him. Also rookie Loki here.
Speaker 2: The Diamondbacks recalled Alec Thomas from Triple A and so, yeah,
Speaker 2: he was demoted after hitting a buck ninety five with
Speaker 2: two dingers and then came up yesterday, twenty three year old,
Speaker 2: former top prospect hitting three forty eight with three homers
Speaker 2: two steals in twenty six games at the Triple A level.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on Alec Thomas rest of season?
Speaker 2: As the Diamondbacks continue to send guys down get adjusted.
Speaker 2: McCarthy came back better, Thomas hopefully comes back better. The
Speaker 2: Yankees are probably looking at this going maybe we should
Speaker 2: do this with Anthony Volpie, give him a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks off and let him figure it out. So do
Speaker 2: you think Alec Thomas is a guy worth targeting?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely think you watch. I don't know if
Speaker 3: there's a format I'm gonna be like, hey, go and
Speaker 3: look at him right now. But the cool thing or
Speaker 3: the exciting thing from before was that he definitely had
Speaker 3: some underlying stuff that told us he was gonna be
Speaker 3: much better. Hard hit percentage ten percent higher than last year,
Speaker 3: had over two sixty XBA barrel percentage was doubled from
Speaker 3: last year. So all of those things work really well.
Speaker 3: He just what like all these hard hits he was
Speaker 3: putting up, he wasn't actually getting any contact into and
Speaker 3: they're gonna give him a shot to just go forward again.
Speaker 3: Luis Josh Rojas who got sent down absolute just disaster
Speaker 3: train this year. I think he was the second most
Speaker 3: at bats in Major League Baseball without a homer. Andrew
Speaker 3: vin Attendi was number one. It's Miles Straw and then him.
Speaker 3: So he's gonna go back and get that stuff going here.
Speaker 1: But some data here Welsh by Yeah, And by the.
Speaker 3: Way, I just want to point out hold on go
Speaker 3: go three up there to Faby Davis. How is that
Speaker 3: a bad comparison? This person's saying mine is a bad
Speaker 3: bro Mine is the best comparison, because I'm giving you
Speaker 3: the number one stolen based player who doesn't really provide
Speaker 3: elite anywhere else, and I'm giving you the number one
Speaker 3: batting average player. So I hope you're saying someone else
Speaker 3: is a bad comparison.
Speaker 1: It's great because I like when you take things.
Speaker 3: Personally, don't I'm taking very.
Speaker 2: Who says number nine in y who, and then John
Speaker 2: V says, Ruiza sixty eight arises twenty fifth, So I
Speaker 2: guess it's their leagues, whatever that situation is.
Speaker 3: But and then Wonky said standard five by five on ESPN,
Speaker 3: according to player ranker, a story is ten and arises forty.
Speaker 3: I think that is so stupid on both sides. It
Speaker 3: also right there, and you know what this does. This
Speaker 3: shows how ridiculous these websites stupid little rank algorithm is
Speaker 3: and how they waited because it's not evenly weighted as
Speaker 3: it shouldn't be. But one categorical win waited. His history
Speaker 3: is the tenth best fantasy player, and standard five by
Speaker 3: five arise is the forty Get out of here.
Speaker 1: Get out of here with that noise.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to see where he is in my
Speaker 2: head to head points lead where everything is pretty well
Speaker 2: balanced in terms of pitching and hitting and stolen bases
Speaker 2: and all that stuff. So I'm trying to look for
Speaker 2: him here and that in the meantime, while I pull
Speaker 2: off that data, let's talk.
Speaker 1: A little bit about the injuries. We had Francisco Alvarez
Speaker 1: negative X rays on his right hand. That's a good thing.
Speaker 2: Liam Hendrix is going to resume throwing, so fingers crossed
Speaker 2: from him, but on the white sox side.
Speaker 1: Still. Uh.
Speaker 2: We had Tim Azerin out again with that shoulder issue.
Speaker 2: Alejandro Kirk is now hitting the ten day ill with
Speaker 2: a left hand laceration, and Hunter Green, as I mentioned before,
Speaker 2: he goes to the IL, but that's retroactors the eighteenth
Speaker 2: with that hip pain.
Speaker 1: Hopefully that something you can get past. We'll see.
Speaker 2: Cedric Mullins actually just saw this come across the wire,
Speaker 2: begins to rehab assignment on Tuesday. It wouldn't be an
Speaker 2: injury discussion without Anthony Redon. He goes to the ten
Speaker 2: day ill with a left wrist contusion. I mean, I
Speaker 2: just feel so bad for Anthony Redone at this point,
Speaker 2: Like it's it's not even a joke, it's just it's
Speaker 2: just sad and frustrated.
Speaker 3: After he tried to grab that fan and like punch
Speaker 3: him and get in a fight. You feel bad for him.
Speaker 1: Well, not so much that, but I mean, depending on
Speaker 1: what that fan said.
Speaker 3: I'm okay, yeah, he's an injury. Good by the way,
Speaker 3: thank you, fab bab Babby has relented.
Speaker 1: You know, you want to run your mouth. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: going to cut a little wrestling promo here.
Speaker 2: You want to run Nobody is above getting punched in
Speaker 2: the face.
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, so that might don't run your mouth.
Speaker 2: You know you think that you just say whatever you
Speaker 2: want to everything. There's no consequences. That's a problem nowadays.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was telling I was telling Joe this story yesterday.
Speaker 3: I'll tell it real quick because there's something to it.
Speaker 3: So I went to the complex. I'll be quick about
Speaker 3: the show, to the Salt River Fields. Two games are
Speaker 3: going on yesterday, Diamondbacks, Giants, Cubs and Rockies. How cool
Speaker 3: is that? And I'm over on the Rocky side and
Speaker 3: Mark McGuire's kid is pitching Mason McGuire And would you
Speaker 3: know it, Mark McGuire's there, and that's like a childhood
Speaker 3: thing for me. I'm like, holy crap. Mark McGuire's here.
Speaker 3: Must have been in for Father's Day. His whole family
Speaker 3: is there, the whole brood is there, the wife, all
Speaker 3: the kids are watching their son. How cool is that?
Speaker 3: And Mark McGuire is still big. I want to talk
Speaker 3: to him for a minute. He's still a big guy,
Speaker 3: you know, big barrel chair, all that stuff. There's a
Speaker 3: guy that was getting a little too close and hanging
Speaker 3: around a little too much next to Mark and between
Speaker 3: innings is getting me nervous, and I was thinking someone's
Speaker 3: about to get punched or right in the face. And
Speaker 3: that's one of those no one is above, even when
Speaker 3: you're with your family, about getting punched in the face.
Speaker 3: And I don't think you want a smack in the
Speaker 3: kisser from Mark maguire after seeing him, regardless of how
Speaker 3: old he is.
Speaker 1: Right now, I found Louis Arises point total. He's at
Speaker 1: two seventeen and a half.
Speaker 2: Uh, and that is in a point league, in a
Speaker 2: points league I think is a very well structured points league.
Speaker 2: So he's right around the same spot as Yoshida. Excuse me,
Speaker 2: Jeffery George Springer.
Speaker 1: Looking around at what does that rank him? I gotta
Speaker 1: look exactly where he's saying.
Speaker 3: But see like that's not That's never my point with
Speaker 3: or right. Actually, my whole point of this has been
Speaker 3: more about how silly these weighted algorithms, stat things are
Speaker 3: that create these ranks. I think they're getting exposed points league.
Speaker 2: He's awesome story ross two hundred and eleven and a
Speaker 2: half points.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still his point.
Speaker 2: That's how they should be valued. Closely, I think I
Speaker 2: didn't neither elite.
Speaker 3: And I would throw in someone's I'm trying to scroll
Speaker 3: because I want to give them like credit, but I
Speaker 3: don't see who it is. Maybe it was Brian or something,
Speaker 3: but somebody, but somebody said, you know, like, hey, when
Speaker 3: the story's in the lineup, it's like having you know,
Speaker 3: four stolen bases locked in. And it's like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: sure I agree with that, and I think that is good.
Speaker 3: But we come back to you know, these are one
Speaker 3: category players being ranked top ten, top twenty five, Like
Speaker 3: that's crazy. They are absolutely awesome and valuable, and I'm
Speaker 3: a little weird about that. But you know, the weighted
Speaker 3: algorithm of some of how these players are ranked, I
Speaker 3: think is just crazy crazy in my mind, is three
Speaker 3: tenth overall?
Speaker 1: No, that's that's nut.
Speaker 2: One more injury note, Lars new Bar returns from the
Speaker 2: tendail as well.
Speaker 1: That'll make Welsh happy.
Speaker 2: Also happening today, Yes, alec Minoa's scheduled to throw a
Speaker 2: simulated game tomorrow.
Speaker 3: So the controlled though it's going to be the safe payment.
Speaker 2: Made completely of cotton candy and rainbows and sunshine.
Speaker 3: I don't think he needs cotton candy around him, though.
Speaker 2: After every pitch there will be a song playing or
Speaker 2: something nice. There will be after the third inning. I
Speaker 2: believe there's a massage chair that he gets to sit
Speaker 2: in in order to, you know, go through that, and
Speaker 2: then there will be positive reinforcements in the form of.
Speaker 1: I believe fortune cookies or something to that nature, whether
Speaker 1: it just give you nice little things.
Speaker 3: I think you want to know a funny thing you
Speaker 3: just said, though, yeah, I don't even know this, but
Speaker 3: like in complex league games, when these guys are done,
Speaker 3: they actually do go over to a massage table and
Speaker 3: they'll have a trainer like work. Why it's hilarious. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: you weren't joking, but no contact.
Speaker 1: In my day in nineteen sixty four, let me tell
Speaker 1: you what we used to do, all right. We used
Speaker 1: to go get hammered and then we got till three
Speaker 1: in the morning.
Speaker 2: You wake up, you play a doublehead, and you know
Speaker 2: what you got paid eight dollars.
Speaker 1: That's how you that's.
Speaker 3: How you split as a slut as of nothing fastball
Speaker 3: down the middle.
Speaker 2: No, by the way, also something kind of fun. I
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw this yesterday. The beer snake
Speaker 2: is becoming a thing. I know about this till today.
Speaker 1: Somehow you didn't know about the beers. You didn't know
Speaker 1: about the beer snake. I don't know how I missed this.
Speaker 2: Well, I got a lot of crap going on, but
Speaker 2: the beer snake is taking over. I know there's rules
Speaker 2: with the beer snake too, which is Look, you know,
Speaker 2: I try not to interrupt the game, but clearly you
Speaker 2: are when you're doing this. How do you feel about
Speaker 2: the beer snake, Welsh, I just wanted to know.
Speaker 3: I'm fine with it. I think there's definitely a dongbong
Speaker 3: like element that maybe they could get going with that, like,
Speaker 3: you know, cut a hole and say it down. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's just people trying to have fun.
Speaker 3: It's funny you said that. I watched one of those
Speaker 3: videos of the guys that stacked the thing and then
Speaker 3: someone threw a like a ball at it and it broke,
Speaker 3: and they stap all the stack of the cups, Like,
Speaker 3: actually don't care about those things.
Speaker 1: I think it.
Speaker 3: Actually there's a worse look when like the security or
Speaker 3: whatever comes over and like takes the snake or like
Speaker 3: has them knocked down the little tower, Like let them
Speaker 3: do the thing. It's fun. Baseball is supposed to be fun.
Speaker 1: Does Alec Minoa get a trigger warning if a ball
Speaker 1: is called outside that is really a strike?
Speaker 3: Put headphones on him just like, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna take this really far. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: just just preparing him.
Speaker 3: How safe are the spaces for Alec? Is all that
Speaker 3: we're curious about?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Max Sure's are three up and three down? Look at
Speaker 2: Max Sures are eight innings, sticking it to me. Thanks Max,
Speaker 2: Way to go, Mikes Stremski three for five with a
Speaker 2: pair of homers.
Speaker 1: Want Sodo had a pair of homers? Two? I went
Speaker 1: with Tatis. I should have gone with Sodo. What do
Speaker 1: I know? Nothing?
Speaker 2: Three down? Corbyn Burns just got hammered. So my day
Speaker 2: was crappy yesterday. So as much as I was on
Speaker 2: the heater for about like two weeks, yesterday was ugly.
Speaker 1: Burns was bad.
Speaker 3: Not the good type of hammered he got either.
Speaker 1: It was down. Left was right, it was terrible. Brandon
Speaker 1: Neimo was terrible too.
Speaker 2: Oh for five three k's, Ian hap oh for four
Speaker 2: with three k's as well. So lots of bad, bad
Speaker 2: mojo yesterday. Hopefully today we'll get.

Speaker 3: the thing he keeps going. I'm gonna go with fantasy
Speaker 3: score of nine. I think the fantasy score on Corbyn
Speaker 3: Carroll is one of my more favorite plays just because
Speaker 3: walk steals, score, runs, hit homer, so he just does
Speaker 3: a little bit of everything. You're in the game at
Speaker 3: all times. With a fantasy score with Corbyn Carroll, no
Speaker 3: doubt about it, And I'm going to combo that with
Speaker 3: a strikeout combo of Dylan Cees and Nate E. Evaldi
Speaker 3: at twelve point five. I'm gonna take the over on that.
Speaker 3: So Randy hit run, RBI, Corbyn, Carroll score sees Evaldi strikeouts.
Speaker 3: That's my combo. Price picks twenty to pay one hundred,
Speaker 3: go do it.
Speaker 1: I believe I missed the beer snake thing.
Speaker 2: I've never seen this, and I say this soccer games now,
Speaker 2: it's all these pictures of it.
Speaker 1: I was like, how did I miss this?
Speaker 3: I've but you are. You are astonishing this year. They
Speaker 3: don't do no but you don't do anything. You're like,
Speaker 3: what's the game?
Speaker 1: They don't care about any other nonsense. That's it's crazy,
Speaker 1: you know what. It really blew my mind.
Speaker 2: I remember the first time I went to Chicago and
Speaker 2: we were going to a Cubs game and I actually
Speaker 2: heard that. I was listening on the radio because they
Speaker 2: still had radios.
Speaker 1: Then to the.
Speaker 2: Cubs game as we were kind of driving there to
Speaker 2: the city because we were going the next day, and
Speaker 2: I couldn't get over all this we need some run
Speaker 2: stuff or boy, that's it, you know, And the announcement
Speaker 2: was so pro like it's us against the World Cubs,
Speaker 2: and it really threw me off because New York is
Speaker 2: not like that at all. It is very down the middle.
Speaker 2: They kind of call it for the most part like that.
Speaker 2: There's no like we we has never come up that
Speaker 2: I ever heard in a New York broadcast in my
Speaker 2: entire life that was really eye opening or ear opening,
Speaker 2: I should say for me.
Speaker 3: So you know what I wonder I think about at night.
Speaker 3: I wonder what Joe doesn't know. I think about the thing,
Speaker 3: what will be the next thing that you don't know?
Speaker 1: A couple of good.
Speaker 2: Things before I get to my prize picks here, Razor says, Manoa,
Speaker 2: come player of the Year. Have we ever had a
Speaker 2: player who was so bad and then came back it
Speaker 2: was great, and then won that award? I don't think
Speaker 2: that works like that, But that's hilarious. There's zero chance.
Speaker 2: The only thing to that, Yeah, why is that not
Speaker 2: a comeback Player of the Year, Like you can't come
Speaker 2: They're like, no, you have to wait an entire year
Speaker 2: and then he can come back over year.
Speaker 3: And here's here's the scenario. He doesn't get He comes
Speaker 3: up after the All Star break and he doesn't give
Speaker 3: up any runs or any hits and he strikes out
Speaker 3: ten a game. That's the only Like we just talked
Speaker 3: about this the other day, like CC Sabathia in the
Speaker 3: second half after being traded with cy young Worthy and
Speaker 3: what he did if Nona came back and was Cy
Speaker 3: young like Worthy?
Speaker 2: Sure, but no, no, but I I just it's funny
Speaker 2: because I've never seen someone do that in a season.
Speaker 2: It's always like the next gen will come back and
Speaker 2: you win that award. By the way, Brian Hayes talks
Speaker 2: about Mana being a sock sock shoe shoe guy, and.
Speaker 1: I think he's a sock shoe sock shoe guy.
Speaker 3: What did we determine you were sock sock shoe shoe
Speaker 3: You put your.
Speaker 2: Socks on first thing, your sneakers. I don't know what
Speaker 2: kind of universe people put a sock into their shoe on.
Speaker 2: What if there's a fire, then you're running out there.
Speaker 2: You got one sock in, one shoe on, and your
Speaker 2: barefoot on the other side. At least if you run
Speaker 2: out there and all you got to do is the
Speaker 2: socks and there's an emergency, at least your feet are covered.
Speaker 3: At least you don't remember which one I am.
Speaker 1: I think I might know what you are. But you
Speaker 1: wake up every day, you put your socks and shoes on.
Speaker 1: You have no idea.
Speaker 3: I really don't like I wear a lot of sandals.
Speaker 3: I wore sandals last night and I was standing there
Speaker 3: and my foot was hurting, and I looked down. I
Speaker 3: had like eleven ants on me, and I freaked out,
Speaker 3: and then I was like, oh, I need to wear shoes.
Speaker 1: More eleven socks. Ll we picked some prizes.
Speaker 2: George Kirby five and a half picture strikeouts over Justin Verlander.
Speaker 2: It's a low number against Houston again. You're gonna troll
Speaker 2: Houston a little bit because it feels like the right
Speaker 2: thing to do.
Speaker 1: Five is a low number. Will go over on Verlander.
Speaker 2: Eavaldi's got six against the White Sox. That's a low number.
Speaker 2: Two especially, I expect Anderson to be ont of the
Speaker 2: lineup again, So go over there. Betting wise today, there's
Speaker 2: a strikeout trio that I like, Spencer Strider eight and
Speaker 2: a half under. We always go eight and a half unders.
Speaker 2: It's just good practice to.
Speaker 1: Do half over.
Speaker 2: George Kirby five and a half over. You get all
Speaker 2: of those three together you get seven to one. So
Speaker 2: again you can bet them all individually like we're talking about,
Speaker 2: and then take that and put a little bit more
Speaker 2: on the parlay version.
Speaker 1: That's how I would approach.
Speaker 2: I don't love all the games today, to tell you
Speaker 2: the truth, I like this approach. Welsh, What do you
Speaker 2: have for the betting approach today?
Speaker 3: I kind of like miss Harley, I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 3: I don't always like minus.
Speaker 2: One twelve minus one oh six. You put together, you
Speaker 2: get plus seven oh nine. So I think I Verlander
Speaker 2: over Kirby over.
Speaker 3: I might actually play that one. I might put those
Speaker 3: all together. I kind of dig that one. I do
Speaker 3: have one strikeout props for the day. I've got Nate
Speaker 3: Eovaldi on the strike out six and a half is
Speaker 3: plus one twenty five today, so I'm on Nate Evaldi
Speaker 3: for the plus money. I like the Diamondbacks team total
Speaker 3: runs at four and a half up against Milwaukee, Colin
Speaker 3: Ray and Chicago up by a run is plus money
Speaker 3: through the first five. Or you can take the money
Speaker 3: line minus. Why do I like it? Marcus Stroman their
Speaker 3: quality starts leader on the season, so or maybe just
Speaker 3: an NL. But Marcus Stroman. I want to back him
Speaker 3: up against Ovi Aedo and the Pirates. So either one
Speaker 3: you want to take the plus money for them to
Speaker 3: be up by a run or juice it up, pay
Speaker 3: the money line and if they're tied, then you get
Speaker 3: your money back on the first five for the Cubs.
Speaker 3: Those are my plays, all right.

Speaker 2: in the DFS World, Garrett cole Is ten point six,
Speaker 2: Frambers ten point nine. If I'm gonna go to ten
Speaker 2: point nine, just get me Eovaldi at eleven K. That's
Speaker 2: all I feel about like at this point, just I
Speaker 2: don't care. Just give me an eighty Evaldi at eleven K.
Speaker 2: That's what I want. Kershaw's at ten to seven. Same thing.
Speaker 1: It's like if I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: Cross that threshold, then I'm gonna go all the way
Speaker 2: to the top and just say screw it and just
Speaker 2: go ahead and just invest there the Dodgers, the Padres,
Speaker 2: and your Arizona Diamondbacks. That's also offenses that I'm looking
Speaker 2: for today, stack wise Jake McCarthy two point six, Alec
Speaker 2: Thomas and Bow Naylor free squares two point zero two
Speaker 2: point zero o K. So that lets you if you
Speaker 2: want to know how to get to Nadi Evaldi, It's
Speaker 2: like hond Of gets a Sesame Street.
Speaker 1: It's Alec Thomas and it's Bow Naylor.
Speaker 2: You put those two guys in, you get Evaldi, then
Speaker 2: you can get whatever else you want.
Speaker 1: That's how you play DFS. Folks, also hole run calls. Again,
Speaker 1: we do have our board today, so let's take a
Speaker 1: look at it.
Speaker 2: Drum roll please, No Woo Razor just like his Cincinnati
Speaker 2: Reds still at the top, twenty seven, JJ Tator at
Speaker 2: twenty four, everybody else got twenty three and twenty two.
Speaker 1: Help us in Miami backup on the board. Look at that.
Speaker 2: So I did not get a home run today or yesterday,
Speaker 2: I should say, so today I'm gonna try to get
Speaker 2: back on the board.
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll is my spot going with our boy.
Speaker 2: Here are our national treasure that is Corbyn Carroll Wells.

Speaker 3: Mookie's Bets is going to be my play today. I
Speaker 3: gotta get back on the board. I think I need
Speaker 3: like two to get on so I need have a
Speaker 3: big home run week. Need that Mark McGuire uh juju
Speaker 3: to rub off on me.
Speaker 1: Which means what Mooky's real nervous? It's Marcus right, it's Marcus.
