Speaker 1: brought to you by Prize Big. Sign up today. Use
Speaker 1: that promo code leading Off. When you do, it's me
Speaker 1: Joey p. That of course is the Welsh, and it's
Speaker 1: too the Peanuts, the Crackerjacks, the things that make this
Speaker 1: crazy little show work. All of you out there who
Speaker 1: listen and watch, and this this thing that we call
Speaker 1: Leading Off from Fantasy Bros. MLB. Welsh. I was watching
Speaker 1: some of the Combine. This is the third year of
Speaker 1: the combine for Major League Baseball prospects, and I gotta
Speaker 1: say it's not quite as exciting as the NFL Combine.
Speaker 1: I recorded it, hoping to watch more of it than
Speaker 1: I did. I got about an hour in and I
Speaker 1: just said, no, I don't like what they're doing. I
Speaker 1: want people analyzing swings. These guys are all hanging out
Speaker 1: behind the battter cage, you know, playing grab ass, and
Speaker 1: all I want them to do is talk about the
Speaker 1: prospects and they seem to have no idea who the
Speaker 1: guys were that we're hitting, what was going on. I
Speaker 1: was not happy about this. I think they should let
Speaker 1: you do the Combine next year. Your thoughts.
Speaker 2: It's a little ass grabby, for sure. There's definitely a
Speaker 2: lot of.
Speaker 1: Ass grab it. There's a lot of the asses out
Speaker 1: there to be grabbed.
Speaker 2: To be fair, to be fair, similar to like what
Speaker 2: happens at like first pitch. If someone were like really
Speaker 2: excited to be around a bunch of you know, analysts
Speaker 2: and be like, Oh, they're gonna talk about all this
Speaker 2: great fantasy stuff and guys, and then everybody is just
Speaker 2: talking about you know, like IPA's and where they're going
Speaker 2: to go, you know, play poker later in the night
Speaker 2: and stuff like you get all these old guys in
Speaker 2: and they are just like BBBBB, like you're right, they're
Speaker 2: nine do it in between, just don't do it while
Speaker 2: the guys are in no, I agree, and taking bping,
Speaker 2: taking grounders.
Speaker 1: I watch, that's the point where I want somebody else
Speaker 1: to talk. I don't even watch a guy taking ground balls,
Speaker 1: for God's sakes.
Speaker 2: I feel like you and I actually were watching at
Speaker 2: the same time because I was watching as uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I know. To be fair, I was watching a BP
Speaker 2: and this guy, a couple guys are hitting and it's
Speaker 2: just Adrian Belchray Harold and they're just talking and they're
Speaker 2: not talking about baseball. They're not talking about baseball anything.
Speaker 2: They're just I'm actually going today, So maybe I'll just
Speaker 2: start yelling at hey, hit you on, stop grabbing the asses.
Speaker 1: Stop playing grab ass. I mean, and look, I don't
Speaker 1: I like those conversations, just to be clear, And I
Speaker 1: love all those guys, like they're all great and I
Speaker 1: want to hear those stories about whose kid is doing what,
Speaker 1: like all that stuff is fine, But you have these
Speaker 1: prospects and you're building this as the combine, and you're
Speaker 1: putting it on television. With the way these prospects have
Speaker 1: been going through to Major League Baseball in now a
Speaker 1: three year window where you usuld be like a five
Speaker 1: year window or a six year window, these players are
Speaker 1: more relevant to what's going on. It's not quite as
Speaker 1: relevant as the NFL, where they're coming in and starting
Speaker 1: day one. It's not like that. It's never going to
Speaker 1: be like that, at least I don't think times are changing.
Speaker 1: But I just felt during batting practice especially, that's the
Speaker 1: one time where you can grab people talk about these players.
Speaker 1: Let's hype them up, Let's talk about what you see
Speaker 1: in the swing. I'd rather hear what Adrian Belcher has
Speaker 1: to say about that kids swing. Yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: hear about his kids twelve U tournament.
Speaker 2: To your point, what's really weird about the whole thing, too,
Speaker 2: is it's like we came off of that day one
Speaker 2: and there's nothing to talk about, Like there's no like clue.
Speaker 2: Like in the NFL Combine, people like this guy did
Speaker 2: this and he ran this route, and you'll show, but
Speaker 2: there's nothing coming out from that day one. I do
Speaker 2: think it was a little high school heavy. Today, I'm
Speaker 2: hoping it's a little a little bit more college heavy
Speaker 2: because that's where I'll be out there get some videos.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it definitely needs a little bit more breakdown
Speaker 2: coverage than nostalgia. You know, hey, these kids are eighteen.
Speaker 1: Isn't this hilarious? I like nostalge, I like all that stuff.
Speaker 1: I love all those guys. I love the concept of
Speaker 1: putting the combine on TV. It's just come on. I
Speaker 1: couldn't even watch it anymore. I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: even know who's taken batting practice.
Speaker 2: You want to pick up the nuggets, you want the
Speaker 2: nuggets dipping sauces.
Speaker 1: I want the whole thing. That's what I want. I also,
Speaker 1: I'm happy that Robert. I'm gonna be happy now for
Speaker 1: a second Robert Russell, first time, long time, first time
Speaker 1: joining us live. Welcome Robert to the show. I love
Speaker 1: this too. I love that we still get people joining
Speaker 1: us for the first time. In cases says, I look
Speaker 1: extra ball today. I don't know why that.
Speaker 2: Actually, as the show started, for some reason, I saw
Speaker 2: that comment and that made me laugh.
Speaker 1: How does one look extra bald?
Speaker 2: I don't use your lighting is a little bit different
Speaker 2: to it's actually good. It's it's not good before. That's
Speaker 2: something my wife would say to me. By the way,
Speaker 2: she did that to me the other day when I
Speaker 2: was editing the show and she looked over and she's like, wow,
Speaker 2: you actually look good on video. And I'm like, all right,
Speaker 2: good bye, bye, slam the door. Thanks. No, your lighting
Speaker 2: is a little bit brighter. You do have an extra
Speaker 2: baldness to you today. It's a glow.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's because I was having fun talking betting with
Speaker 1: our friend from MW network, aerl Epstein, so we just
Speaker 1: recorded that. If you haven't subscribed to the Betting Pros
Speaker 1: podcast or the Betting Pros YouTube, that's probably the smarter
Speaker 1: place because we're gonna be crushing NFL season in a
Speaker 1: couple weeks. But we did a whole half hour talking
Speaker 1: about the state of the Union halfway through the season,
Speaker 1: what's going on there with the props. She had a
Speaker 1: fascinating take on the Luis Arise potential for MVP, which
Speaker 1: I thought was wild and interesting too. She's like, but
Speaker 1: but she's like, what if he hits four h six
Speaker 1: or four oh seven? Like what if he does that?
Speaker 1: Does that become this crazy national story? And like, I
Speaker 1: still say no, and I still would I still thought
Speaker 1: her about it. Yeah, but I see where she's coming from,
Speaker 1: and stranger things have happened. So go check that out.
Speaker 1: Should be up later today, definitely by tomorrow. I would
Speaker 1: imagine that'll be up there. Let's get to the headlines,
Speaker 1: and let's talk about the Reds. Why not TJ friedel
Speaker 1: three four two run homer on Tuesday's game and now
Speaker 1: they have won ten in a row. They're plus four
Speaker 1: to forty to win the division. We talked about this
Speaker 1: actree on the show. I heard I both agree it's
Speaker 1: probably a better bet to bet the Reds to make
Speaker 1: the playoffs than it is for them to win the division.
Speaker 1: Do you agree with that sentiment?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the division run is going to be
Speaker 2: pretty tough. We also haven't seen like what is this
Speaker 2: team going to do as far as acquisitions go, How
Speaker 2: are they going to look long term? So for them
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs with the wild card much better
Speaker 2: bet than taking the division down. Even if you're in
Speaker 2: June and they're at the top spot, I can tell
Speaker 2: you I think it's the Diamondbacks. It's still a tough
Speaker 2: bet for them to win the division. As good as
Speaker 2: they are at this point, I wouldn't feel like that
Speaker 2: is a complete lockdown with the Padres and Dodgers breathing
Speaker 2: down their neck.
Speaker 1: Jerry says, I'm glowing. Bill worried about Tyler Glass and
Speaker 1: now we'll get to him a little air. In the
Speaker 1: show Bill, he's on the three down because I was invested.
Speaker 1: Not happy, not happy. Also, this is from Michael. Michael says,
Speaker 1: watching the show ruin the podcast for me. There's more.
Speaker 1: There's more of the commet now. I still subscribe, but
Speaker 1: I can't go back. If I miss it live, I
Speaker 1: have to watch on YouTube. That's right, because we are fun.
Speaker 1: So he's saying he's saying it didn't ruin it for
Speaker 1: him in a bad way. It means like the audio
Speaker 1: only just ain't enough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought this was gonna be one of those
Speaker 2: like like backhand kind of like what I just did
Speaker 2: to you, like that guy he said, I didn't.
Speaker 1: Know Joe was a bald guy with him.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's one of those backhanded things where someone's like, wow,
Speaker 2: I had a picture of what I thought Welsh looked like,
Speaker 2: and I looked and he's a big, fat monster and
Speaker 2: I hate everything.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize Joe was Italian. No idea like what, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I thought the re aliens all right right after the
Speaker 1: show yesterday, which pissed me off because you had the
Speaker 1: opportunity to manifest the prospect you didn't. But the Guardians
Speaker 1: Gavin Williams called up starting today against the A's this
Speaker 1: is a cushy first start. Tristan McKenzie, you talked about
Speaker 1: going in the IL. We did mention the possibility of Williams.
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us thought it was going
Speaker 1: to be the next day necessarily. We thought maybe it
Speaker 1: go through a rotation cycle and then maybe by the
Speaker 1: weekend we would start to get some news, but no,
Speaker 1: he's here two three eight ERA zero point nine to
Speaker 1: eight whip, eighty one strikeouts to twenty four walks in
Speaker 1: just sixty innings, so big strikeout numbers, we can double
Speaker 1: triple A. He's twenty three. Welsh give with a low
Speaker 1: down on Gavin Williams because you've been waiting for this, yeah,
Speaker 1: and now it's here. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well I don't know if I mentioned it here, but
Speaker 2: like within the last week, I've been saying preemptively pick
Speaker 2: you know, pick him up, hold him. I had someone
Speaker 2: tell me that because of the Tristan McKenzie injury, that
Speaker 2: this looked like a possibility that Gavin Williams is going
Speaker 2: to be up really, really soon. He struggled a little
Speaker 2: bit since he's gone to triple A, but that's only
Speaker 2: like relative from being absolutely dominated at double A. He's
Speaker 2: got a sub three whip in Triple A ks around
Speaker 2: twelve his last start, So he pitched like a week ago,
Speaker 2: a full week ago, and it was sixty percent fastball.
Speaker 2: Because this is like a guy that's gonna lock out
Speaker 2: with four really solid pitches, big slider, big curveball, and
Speaker 2: huge fastball. He was sixty percent fastball. Where he had
Speaker 2: a twenty percent whiff rate but a twenty three percent
Speaker 2: CSW wasn't his best slider twenty percent that didn't have
Speaker 2: a big wiff rate had a better CSW at twenty
Speaker 2: nine percent. But the curveball, which he threw seventeen percent
Speaker 2: of the time, a forty three percent wiff rate and
Speaker 2: a thirty three percent CSW. So when he gets that
Speaker 2: fastball in the zone and being not hit able, I mean,
Speaker 2: this is a this is a crazy one too. The
Speaker 2: inside the zone swing percent's only sixty five percent on
Speaker 2: the fastball and a pretty relative lower contact percentage. This
Speaker 2: is all on his last start, and this is all
Speaker 2: to tell you this is a guy that's gonna be
Speaker 2: able to go deeper into games. He's got a big
Speaker 2: pitch arsenal, and he had a decent amount of innings
Speaker 2: last year, which could justify him going up to one thirty. Maybe,
Speaker 2: you know, this could be like the house Spencer Strider
Speaker 2: played through the years.
Speaker 1: To be clear, you mean one thirty total, not one
Speaker 1: thirty remaining obviously.
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm saying last year at one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifteen innings pitched, So this year is the possibility to
Speaker 2: go yeah, So if he goes one thirty, you're looking
Speaker 2: at what's the quick mat seventy innings? Could they push
Speaker 2: a little bit more? Here's what this goes with. Gavin
Speaker 2: Williams is the type of guy that his stuff is
Speaker 2: good enough to keep him there. He's got the innings
Speaker 2: to keep him here. We're all worried about the Ury
Speaker 2: Perez stuff. Eury Perez the innings, the innings. Though he
Speaker 2: looks like one of the best pitchers in baseball, Gavin
Speaker 2: Williams is in this tier of those players. So when
Speaker 2: you're asking the questions, that's like the big thing to
Speaker 2: take away here. Where does Gavin Williams sit? Do I
Speaker 2: drop Biby Yes? Do I drop Alan Yes? Do I
Speaker 2: drop Emmit Shean?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: I want Gavin Williams in the TAJ Bradley Yuri Perez range.
Speaker 2: I would even take Gavin over Bobby Miller right now,
Speaker 2: but they're kind of closer.
Speaker 1: Well, because we have so much day baseball, we got
Speaker 1: to talk about this right now. It's the top of
Speaker 1: the second inning and Sandy al Contra has now given
Speaker 1: up five earned runs and seven hits in the first
Speaker 1: two winnings, five in the second alone. Something is rotten
Speaker 1: in the state of Denmark or the state of Florida. Well,
Speaker 1: we know a lot of things are rotten in the
Speaker 1: state of Florida, but in particular, something's rotten in Miami
Speaker 1: with Sandy al Contra Welsh going what is going on?
Speaker 2: I don't I asked the question first. No, I asked it.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I don't. I think all of us
Speaker 1: are looking at the same time. We've tried to make
Speaker 1: excuses about Is it the pitch clock. Is it the
Speaker 1: combination of that along with the the changes in which
Speaker 1: you're ons do with the shift? Is it is he
Speaker 1: just not feeling right because he did have that biceps
Speaker 1: I think it was a biicep injury earlier in the season.
Speaker 1: Is he just one hundred percent he's trying to gut
Speaker 1: it out. I don't know, man, but I think the
Speaker 1: concept of the by low or the turnaround for Sandi
Speaker 1: al Contra, it is halfway. I'm out for the rest
Speaker 1: of the team.
Speaker 2: I'm out, and I was in semi deficiency of like
Speaker 2: you see really talented players go through struggles. I want
Speaker 2: to have buys, even sometimes when there's not great data
Speaker 2: to back it up. And this is when I just eat.
Speaker 2: But it comes back to it's that change up. Man.
Speaker 2: The changeup has been so less efficient. It threw it
Speaker 2: twenty seven percent of the time, is the number one pitch.
Speaker 2: Last year it held batters to a one forty five
Speaker 2: batting average twenty four percent with rate. This year he's
Speaker 2: lowered its not necessarily lower the usage. He's been throwing
Speaker 2: his sinker more, not relying on the changeup, because batters
Speaker 2: are hitting three thirteen against his change up this year,
Speaker 2: which is bonkers. And here's another one, the ev on it.
Speaker 2: Last year, the average EV against his change up was
Speaker 2: eighty four miles an hour. This year it is the
Speaker 2: number two hard hit at eighty nine miles per hour.
Speaker 2: And in this game that's going on right now, zero
Speaker 2: whiffs on the change up. It's inefficient. That looks like
Speaker 2: it's probably the core of a lot of the problems
Speaker 2: is that changeup isn't going so it's not setting up
Speaker 2: other pitches and he's just getting banged around. It stinks,
Speaker 2: And I just moved him down pretty decently in my
Speaker 2: dynasty ranks too.
Speaker 1: So looking at the last couple of starts here so far,
Speaker 1: let's see on the twenty fourth of May two earned runs,
Speaker 1: then four and runs five and runs one and run
Speaker 1: five and runs and then today he's got five already.
Speaker 1: So yikes. Yeah, it ain't good, folks, It ain't good.
Speaker 2: It's a big old power change up. But it just
Speaker 2: ain't doing it. Ain't changing the change.
Speaker 1: Up, ain't changing. It's up and now oh it's upen
Speaker 1: Naiti of all the gave up four runs, six innings,
Speaker 1: not very naighty of allD esque. His velo was at
Speaker 1: a season low nine point three to eight. Now that's
Speaker 1: still pretty good, but it's not quite where was. And
Speaker 1: he concerns, you're a little bit of fatigue for Nadie Evaldi.
Speaker 2: Uh for me, No, I'm not gonna like have massive
Speaker 2: concerns outside of you know, I will say that bagman
Speaker 2: did this to me a couple of times, like, and
Speaker 2: I've seen some other people do this. Where No, but
Speaker 2: when people talk about me Adivaldi, they had been putting
Speaker 2: him in like the close to elite tier of pitchers
Speaker 2: this year, and I'm like, no, let's not do that.
Speaker 2: He's pitt really well. But if he's being put in
Speaker 2: that because he had those great starts, he's been putting
Speaker 2: in this really really high tier. I would be more
Speaker 2: concerned because I think he's going to like median out
Speaker 2: a little bit. But this start, let's monitor it. Let's
Speaker 2: see if the Villo continues going down. One start, Villo
Speaker 2: down with poor results isn't something where I'm going to
Speaker 2: freak out. Two or three. Then you're going from Nati
Speaker 2: Evaldi as like must start every single week to maybe
Speaker 2: you do have to start looking at streaming him or
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 1: I'm still okay with it, I do. I mean, he
Speaker 1: has been elite this year, so I am giving him
Speaker 1: the credit for being elite, but I understand.
Speaker 2: I don't think he will be elite the rest of
Speaker 2: the year though. That's like my kind you know, who's
Speaker 2: never going to be elite.
Speaker 1: Byron Buxton. He is physically unable to play the outfield
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season due to limitation stemming
Speaker 1: from last September's knee surgery. He is now twenty nine.
Speaker 1: He has gone hitless oh for his last sixteen, with
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts in his last five games. And I'm I'm
Speaker 1: officially I'm calling it yesterday. It's over over. I'm out.
Speaker 1: I don't care if you had a homer yet, Like
Speaker 1: the Byron Buxton, the whatever you're hoping, the late bloomer,
Speaker 1: the maybe he's finally healthy. I know this is personal.
Speaker 1: I know this is tough, but.
Speaker 2: Man, we're sitting here having a great time. By the way,
Speaker 2: and you said Byron Buckston and then we needed the
Speaker 2: curb theme that on my face and my yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think this is a twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: You're already screwed. It's over. But I think what you're
Speaker 1: gonna look for is if you have dynasty shares, if
Speaker 1: you have keeper League shares, that's it. I think it's
Speaker 1: time to just move on. Whatever you can, whatever, Just
Speaker 1: just move on however it works.
Speaker 2: Just read I'm not going to dis with you in
Speaker 2: the redraft stand like this is what this is gonna
Speaker 2: be one of those last years. It's been trash, it's garbage.
Speaker 2: You can't play the outfield.
Speaker 1: That just means, as it look at, Wonky Buxton isn't
Speaker 1: Fantasy relevant.
Speaker 2: He's really not. And I mean, you know, it's one
Speaker 2: turn of second base from being injured now, so it
Speaker 2: doesn't even matter if he's not in the outfield. Dynasty
Speaker 2: I pushed back because it's like he's bottom barrel he's
Speaker 2: absolutely bottom barrel right now. So but maybe you can
Speaker 2: go get a nice, you know, package of prospects, two
Speaker 2: prospects that are a little bit further away. That might
Speaker 2: be how I approach Byron Buckson if I'm out of it.
Speaker 2: But you know, there's that small part of me that's like,
Speaker 2: I'm not looking to sell him for for nothing. You
Speaker 2: know you're gonna sell Byron Buckson for TJ Friedel in
Speaker 2: Dynasty right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, TJ Fridle plays, Yeah he does, you know
Speaker 1: what on a good team he does play. I mean,
Speaker 1: he plays. I'm not accounting that. I know why you're
Speaker 1: not doing that, but I am. I'm done. I'm out,
Speaker 1: I'm out, or I'm just trying to get picks for
Speaker 1: next year in a keeper league. I'm trying to get
Speaker 1: whatever I can and just I'm out. Tristan McKenzie. He's
Speaker 1: also gonna be out for a while, diagnosed with a
Speaker 1: UCL sprain in his right elbows, so we'll see how
Speaker 1: long that's gonna take him to get back on the mound.
Speaker 1: Let's do the rookie lookie, David Hamilton is gonna join
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Hamilton, which everybody knows and big fans
Speaker 1: of musicals, and now.
Speaker 2: I was just waiting for you to do it. Sing
Speaker 2: the song, sing one of the songs.
Speaker 1: How does a prospect born from the Red Sox get
Speaker 1: to the big leaks? Now, he's got twenty seven steals
Speaker 1: in Triple A this year, so just putting that out there,
Speaker 1: seventy last year in Double A. If you're in need
Speaker 1: of some stolen bases, you think this is another guy.
Speaker 1: We mentioned the guy from the Royals like it was
Speaker 1: last week. Another guy. We're getting these like little stolen
Speaker 1: based guys popping up here. You think Hamilton gets enough
Speaker 1: airtime here? You think they're going to give him his
Speaker 1: shot to play every day.
Speaker 2: I think he's worth a look. He made some big changes.
Speaker 2: I got hit up about him a lot. I didn't
Speaker 2: like him as a Brewers prospect, and that's where I
Speaker 2: saw him coming over to the Red Sox. A lot
Speaker 2: of people were on my case this year because he's
Speaker 2: had big success, But the team was also working on
Speaker 2: some I think some weighted vest changes, some barreling changes.
Speaker 2: He's made, you know, some strides. He started, lowered his
Speaker 2: strikeout percentage eleven homers in fifty two games, which is
Speaker 2: one lesson he did in more than double last year.
Speaker 2: He's already get twenty seven stolen bases. He's hitting two
Speaker 2: fifty five with a pretty good ISO number. In general,
Speaker 2: it's worth the shot to see if the changes have
Speaker 2: pushed him. He's a little bit of a late bloomer.
Speaker 2: I struggle with late bloomer sometimes he's almost twenty six
Speaker 2: years old. But big speeds in there. The power has
Speaker 2: pushed this year, and some of that, you know whatever,
Speaker 2: that battyball training that they've been working on kind of
Speaker 2: as an organization and the miners may have paid off.
Speaker 2: So I would speculate simply because of that those big
Speaker 2: speed numbers that he can put out.
Speaker 1: There, something that hasn't happened in a long time. Because
Speaker 1: we used to the show early in the morning back
Speaker 1: in the day. Is the lawn guys are here still
Speaker 1: every every always get the long guys coming. So they're
Speaker 1: right by the window now. So I apologize, nothing I
Speaker 1: can do about this, but I we don't.
Speaker 2: We don't hear it, Joe. I have the same thing.
Speaker 2: I have a window to my laught and it's like
Speaker 2: the whole world, you know, just parties outside there.
Speaker 1: Sometimes Louis Varlin got sent to Triple A as well,
Speaker 1: so it's good times, Louis. Let's get to the injuries.
Speaker 1: Dansby Swanson undergoes X rays on the right wrist. JP
Speaker 1: Crawford missed yesterday with the right shoulder contusion. Padres' Sethlugo,
Speaker 1: what's that now? You hear it? Now?
Speaker 2: I hear it? Now I heard. I don't heard that.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm in I'm I'm in the Middle East
Speaker 1: reporting somehow these in the injuries for Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like, seth Lugo. Fifteen ail. Tim
Speaker 1: Anderson remains absent again, uh for the Rangers with that
Speaker 1: shoulder issue against the Rangers. Excuse me, with the shoulder issue,
Speaker 1: So still same deal. Will Myers is activated, but I
Speaker 1: feel like there's no spot now for Will Myers is
Speaker 1: kind of looking well, Joe, there's not a mean of
Speaker 1: John Travolta where he's in pulp fiction. He's looking around
Speaker 1: like he's no idea what's going on. That's so still Myers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well take that because he was also designated for
Speaker 2: a sign so he's off the team. So he actually
Speaker 2: got that. He got ACTIVI he got Will Myers got
Speaker 2: d F eight from the team.
Speaker 1: So, oh they did DF I didn't I tell you
Speaker 1: got activated? I mean, and then I did not realize,
Speaker 1: Oh yes he has.
Speaker 2: So he's literally pointing around my job.
Speaker 1: Anyone job, job, job, you got a job. You will
Speaker 1: catch on somewhere though, something will take a shot on
Speaker 1: little Mile.
Speaker 2: Sure think yeah, yeah, no, I do. I think that
Speaker 2: he still wants to play. He's got some outfield first
Speaker 2: base versatility. Somebody will give him a shot.
Speaker 1: Sure, that's right, And you're right. I don't cut my
Speaker 1: own grass because I am a star. Stars don't cut
Speaker 1: my own grat. I do the hedges, I do the
Speaker 1: other things. I clean the pool, I do all the
Speaker 1: other things. But we have a lot of grass here.
Speaker 1: We have. It's I wanted to get one of those
Speaker 1: like far ast gum briting mower things, but now I
Speaker 1: was like, I just haven't done it yet. Someday, someday,
Speaker 1: Julio Urius is gonna make a minor leg rehab assignment.
Speaker 1: Edward Rodriguez also Saturday live batting practice session, so that's encouraging. Also,
Speaker 1: Welsh Carlos Rodin pitched yesterday in his rehab start fifty
Speaker 1: minutes from my house right here with the Summerset Patriots them.
Speaker 1: Why didn't you go over there? Well, here's the funny thing,
Speaker 1: is I, Well, the kids were over so we had
Speaker 1: other plans and stuff going on. But it was fun
Speaker 1: because Carlos were not a mustachiode rotund Fellow was hanging
Speaker 1: out with Austin Wells, who was also a mustachiode rotund Fellow,
Speaker 1: and I thought they kind of look alike there. If
Speaker 1: you look here on the YouTube channel, you'll see there's
Speaker 1: Austin Wells and there is Carlos Rodon and there's the
Speaker 1: Spider Man meme.
Speaker 2: It looks like father and Son like. And also, by
Speaker 2: the way, I.
Speaker 1: Think Brothers that about Father and Son album does look
Speaker 1: a little old here will I.
Speaker 2: Like pretending that it's father and Son. It actually it
Speaker 2: actually looks like a live action Mario like they're just
Speaker 2: not in their outfits with the mustaches. And uh, I
Speaker 2: do want to point out this should maybe be some
Speaker 2: of our advertisement for the fourteen K Mustache Ride show
Speaker 2: is having Don and they have Austin Wells. Maybe we
Speaker 2: could compare when we had the mustache. We'll put those
Speaker 2: two up to whatever.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Ethan who always makes me stupid graphics
Speaker 1: when I ask him for things. Also, Jazz Chisholm will
Speaker 1: begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, so keep an eye on
Speaker 1: that one. Three up and three down. Christian Arroyo four
Speaker 1: for four with a Homern and a Ribby Spencer Streider
Speaker 1: had nine strikeouts. Screw you. The eight and a half
Speaker 1: did not come in yesterday. It was bad again. I'm well.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't bet against Stryder as much as
Speaker 1: I bet against eight and a half, and most of
Speaker 1: the time seventy percent of the time it works all
Speaker 1: the time. So I'm still gonna keep doing it. But
Speaker 1: he was good. It was good to see him bounce back.
Speaker 1: The window to buy him is shut. Uri Perez six
Speaker 1: scoreless innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out nine,
Speaker 1: but he got the no decision that.
Speaker 2: Suckedell are they going to do with Uri Perez? He
Speaker 2: is so good. They are literally capped up against each
Speaker 2: other of incredible talent that helps your team. Now and
Speaker 2: this like arbitrary innings and hurting development thing, I don't
Speaker 2: know what this team does. And it puts I think
Speaker 2: fantasy people in such a bine because like two weeks ago,
Speaker 2: people were dropping Urie because there didn't seem to be
Speaker 2: any possibility he could be coming back, or at least
Speaker 2: dropping him for you know, a new, upcoming, exciting names
Speaker 2: when breaking news. He's the best of the rookie pitchers.
Speaker 2: He's just up against that cap of innings, probably more
Speaker 2: than anybody, maybe Sand's agency.
Speaker 1: And that's why I still say the Marlins are paper
Speaker 1: Tiger because they're up in second place, but they ain't
Speaker 1: gonna stay there because it's eventually, you know, Cinderella is
Speaker 1: gonna have to come home from the ball here, and
Speaker 1: Uri Prosting is going to run out, and Hori Solaire's
Speaker 1: gonna come back to Earth. By the way, it does
Speaker 1: feel a little bit like they are at a David
Speaker 1: Wells convention, Like doesn't that feel like what they are?
Speaker 2: Like David Wells impersonation night, Like.
Speaker 1: You know SNL sketch where everybody is an Adam Sandler
Speaker 1: character from all that. That's kind of what I feel like
Speaker 1: was going on there. That's kind of that's the feel
Speaker 1: of this.
Speaker 2: Postin Wells, by the way, was my weirdest interview ever.
Speaker 1: He was shot. Considering that strange look.
Speaker 2: My favorite thing that happened is he had just one
Speaker 2: Player of the week in uh the in the AFL,
Speaker 2: and I went up and asked him and I was like,
Speaker 2: hey man, you know it was really awesome for player,
Speaker 2: you know, for player of the week. Did they do
Speaker 2: anything cool like the chains or anything like that? And
Speaker 2: He's like, Nope, they didn't do anything. I got a
Speaker 2: piece of paper for it, and I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: that was cool. But it was in a much more
Speaker 2: hyper aggressive way. Again, not a bad guy, but it
Speaker 2: was just he was very awkward, very very big mustache
Speaker 2: type of guy. David Welsey and Carlos Redonian No, thank.
Speaker 1: You Rod again? Uh down for me yesterday. Joey Gallo,
Speaker 1: oh for four to three k's, Josh Young, Oh for
Speaker 1: five three k's. I think there's money to be made
Speaker 1: potentially on Gunner Henderson the American League Rooie of the Year.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it. Yeah, I know, Josh Young's been great.
Speaker 1: Gunners started to heat up a little bit.
Speaker 2: What's his number at right now? Because this is the
Speaker 2: guy that was like minus money to start the year,
Speaker 2: and I know it's tanks.
Speaker 1: To start the year. He was he was at three
Speaker 1: wars are you sure there was three to the open?
Speaker 1: I have the open two fifty plus two fifty. Oh
Speaker 1: he's Gunner Henderson. Now he's plus five hundred. Yoshi is
Speaker 1: a plus two seventy five and this is a betting pros.
Speaker 1: Josh Young is plus one ninety.
Speaker 2: So Yoshida is still number one.
Speaker 1: M No, Josh Young is number one.
Speaker 2: Now, oh, Josh plus one. I'm sorry, I didn't hear that.
Speaker 1: Okay's one plus one plus two plus one. And if
Speaker 1: you get that reference, we can be friends. If you
Speaker 1: get that reference in the chat, that's a cracker Jacks.
Speaker 2: Just trying to make sure one. I also still have
Speaker 2: I have some Yoshida shares.
Speaker 1: So Tyler Glass now six earned runs, four and a
Speaker 1: third innings. Your thoughts on this start and the overall
Speaker 1: return of Tyler Glass, Now, yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I think he's like he's a ticking time
Speaker 2: bomb with the injury stuff, you know, Like I do
Speaker 2: worry about that. But even in the struggle, still a
Speaker 2: thirty one percent whiff rate on the day, thirty three
Speaker 2: percent CSW. The slider had eight whiffs eight whiffs of
Speaker 2: eighteen swings on it, which is pretty absurd. He through
Speaker 2: at thirty five percent of the time. Just a lot
Speaker 2: of hard hit balls, and I wonder, I guess I'd
Speaker 2: have to try to find the zone chart, but it
Speaker 2: seems like a lot of stuff might have been sitting
Speaker 2: in the zone in this start. Sixty eight percent fastball.
Speaker 2: I guess curveball, slider wasn't but he got hit really
Speaker 2: hard on this. I worry about the injuries with him
Speaker 2: in him being able to level to elite status. But
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kind of chalk this up. It's like, I'm
Speaker 2: not going to freak out because the stuff i'd really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, velocity is good. I'm gonna chalk this
Speaker 1: up to again, he's off his the normal progression pace
Speaker 1: of a pitcher. And guys, you know, to me, this
Speaker 1: is the kind of start you have in late April,
Speaker 1: and we always do that same thing, and this is
Speaker 1: kind of like his late April early May where we
Speaker 1: just kind of you know, they hit that weird dead army.
Speaker 1: They don't have a field. Yeah, the bump right right right.

Speaker 1: only if you use the promo code lead, so make
Speaker 1: sure you do that. Welsh, pick some prizes for the people.
Speaker 2: Let's pick some prizes, let's win some. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: with Zach Gallen his strikeout number six and a half.
Speaker 2: We're gonna take the over up against Milwaukee. I loved
Speaker 2: kay Corey Seeger. His fantasy score is eight. He had
Speaker 2: five RBI yesterday. He's a monster. And I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: with Jose Ramirez fantasy score also at eight. Those are
Speaker 2: my three prize picks for the day. There were a
Speaker 2: few guys maybe earlier. Andrew Abbott might have been a
Speaker 2: play if you could have got the k numbers before
Speaker 2: they started to adjust. But those are my three favorite
Speaker 2: for today. Joe, what do you got?
Speaker 1: I've got Julio Rodriguez eight hitter Fantasy score over Jose
Speaker 1: Ramirez same thing against Oakland eight hitter Fantasy score over
Speaker 1: and one Sodo eight So crazy eight's today. All over
Speaker 1: is on the hitter fantasy score betting wise. To me,
Speaker 1: I see one thing that I like a lot. Zach
Speaker 1: Gallen has been brilliant at home on the road. Less brilliant,
Speaker 1: not bad, just less brilliant. I think there's a place
Speaker 1: to make money here. Today. You're getting plus one forty
Speaker 1: five on the Brewers at home with Julio Tehron, who
Speaker 1: keeps throwing out it starts like, I know at some
Speaker 1: point it's gotta be you know. And this move numbers
Speaker 1: already moved, by the way, from plus one forty five
Speaker 1: to plus one thirty, So that right now is where
Speaker 1: you're This is the best spot you're going to get it,
Speaker 1: because I've just seen that right now that it's moved.
Speaker 1: So I like the Brewers today. It's my upset special.
Speaker 1: What do you see in the betting world today?
Speaker 2: You like, Well, yeah, I'm on the opposite end of that.
Speaker 1: I know, I see that. This is I like it,
Speaker 1: Let's do it.
Speaker 2: I like the Dbacks money line. I don't like the
Speaker 2: run line to kind of what you're talking about. Gallon
Speaker 2: has been a little bit Dicey has not been the elite,
Speaker 2: elite pitcher with some inconsistencies. But I'm going I'm going
Speaker 2: with the Diamondbacks on the money line. With that, I
Speaker 2: have a parlay. If you don't want to play the
Speaker 2: money line Diamondbacks and Mariners moneyline parlot. I believe it
Speaker 2: pays around like one eighty somewhere close to there. I
Speaker 2: also like Texas in Chicago nine and a half on
Speaker 2: the total over you've got Martine Prez, no thanks, and
Speaker 2: you got the Texas Rangers offense. In general, I might
Speaker 2: play the team total runs if it's four and a
Speaker 2: half for Texas, but I'm gonna go with the nine
Speaker 2: and a half because it just kind of covers both
Speaker 2: bases as far as the team's scoring. Those are only
Speaker 2: two plays that I picked up. Kind of didn't find
Speaker 2: any great player prop stuff that I love today.
Speaker 1: I like Julio Rodriguez four to one to hit a homer.
Speaker 1: I like that one in a little tiny, yanky baby.
Speaker 2: The one I did and the one I didn't get
Speaker 2: to check before the show I meant to, and you
Speaker 2: and I were talking.
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium's cheeks because it's so cute.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't Corey secret total basis.
Speaker 1: That's that's funny. That's the other one that I almost
Speaker 1: put on these.
Speaker 2: I just didn't see what the number looked like. But
Speaker 2: if it was like plus money or minus, I would
Speaker 2: play red hot.
Speaker 1: You know us, it's hot, so rare, so hot, right now,
Speaker 1: go play some so rare. It's fantasy. It's fun, it's

Speaker 1: evening slate show. Hey Otani tonight auditioning, you know, for
Speaker 1: big money contracts. Show. He is at ten point seven k.
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo's at ten point six. I think you have
Speaker 1: a share of both of them, and you have the
Speaker 1: same exact lineup. You just have one with Otani one
Speaker 1: with Castillo. See which works out best. Garrett Whitlock is
Speaker 1: an interesting punt play at six point six K today.
Speaker 1: It's so cheap, And I think if everything breaks, rate breaks,
Speaker 1: rate breaks right, what's wrong with me lately? If everything
Speaker 1: breaks right? That Garrett Whitlock can get to that six
Speaker 1: inning six K mark and has some win potential. So
Speaker 1: the Angels, the Padres, the Seattle Mariners, That's where I'm
Speaker 1: looking for offense. Mickey mooniac two point eight k, Jared
Speaker 1: Watsh two point three and Michael Harris still cheap two
Speaker 1: point eight Still all right, Welsh, who's your home run
Speaker 1: call for the day? What do you have?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with my guy, Corey Seeker. We're gonna
Speaker 2: just jump right back into the good old days of
Speaker 2: playing the total based prop, playing the guy in UH
Speaker 2: price picks and doing the home run call. Those are
Speaker 2: the good old days we love to do, and so
Speaker 2: many things going on.
