Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody in the fantasy pros m LB. This
Speaker 1: is Leading Off live walking about that three six five
Speaker 1: used that promo code of leading off. When you sign
Speaker 1: up today, it's me, Joey p that's the Welsh and
Speaker 1: it's you. Actually, that's the Welsh. I went the wrong way.
Speaker 1: Everything's opposite on the camera. Stop poking me. It's the Welsh.
Speaker 1: And of course it's the Peanuts and the Crackerjacks hanging
Speaker 1: out with the chat. Don't forget Friday, join us or
Speaker 1: a special tribute to all of you, the Peanuts of
Speaker 1: the Cracker Jacks for a very special edition of Leading Off.
Speaker 1: Make sure you join us live on the YouTube. Be
Speaker 1: there for it. It's going to be opening day ish,
Speaker 1: but but better so. Welsh, I can only ask you,
Speaker 1: did you have a chicken cutlet for dinner last night?
Speaker 2: I didn't have. Everybody Canoli's and cutlets and all these questions.
Speaker 1: Listen colors, fine set my autobiography.
Speaker 2: That would be a great book Connolly's and cutlets. I'm
Speaker 2: the joys of the story. AM a inquisitive individual. I
Speaker 2: ask questions. Everybody just goes around and just agrees with everything,
Speaker 2: and I was like, what exactly is the cutlet portion
Speaker 2: of it? Is the cutlet like you know, the type
Speaker 2: of the cut of meat, or is it the way
Speaker 2: that it is cooked or something. That's all I was asking,
Speaker 2: kind of like a file at, like filay's are not
Speaker 2: very the way flay is the way it's cooked, correct,
Speaker 2: because flays are not good.
Speaker 1: No, filay is also the way it's caught, typically a fish,
Speaker 1: you know, like you it's a you filay it with.
Speaker 2: That night, I asked questions, and I am here for
Speaker 2: all these people that pretend I'm.
Speaker 1: Just sad about your food knowledge, I think at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, so let's let's instead be happy.
Speaker 1: Let's be happy. It's all in baseball.
Speaker 2: It's all in prospects. In baseball, there's no food, there's
Speaker 2: no other things. Everyone's like, hey, let's talk about going overseas.
Speaker 2: I've been to Nashville. That's all I've been. I don't
Speaker 2: go anywhere. I go to the backfields, I go to
Speaker 2: complex league, I talk to prospects. I know baseball. I
Speaker 2: don't know other things. So we're learning along the way.
Speaker 1: Joe, there you go. Choto Minaga pretty pretty good. Yesterday
Speaker 1: seven more innings struck out eight guys, so we got
Speaker 1: the over on that number yesterday. Horay. Also Cody Bellinger returned.
Speaker 1: That was a fun little nugget there, and what a return.
Speaker 1: It was three for four with a homer, So shouto.
Speaker 1: Imanaga continues this first time around the league to be
Speaker 1: just filthy, just dominant, just awesome. So people are asking
Speaker 1: me should I be selling high and cashing in and
Speaker 1: getting someone to overpay on Imanaga because I do understand
Speaker 1: the perspective, which is he has been so good, so dominant,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna have an era, you know, under one
Speaker 1: all year. So what do you think about that prospect
Speaker 1: of maybe selling and cashing in for a boat load
Speaker 1: for Imanaga.
Speaker 2: If there's actually a boatload. That's I think the biggest
Speaker 2: question here because everybody, at all times, you're looking at
Speaker 2: any player that's performing really well, and the and the
Speaker 2: underlying stats do say like he's gonna have some type
Speaker 2: of regression, So it's like, okay, get out while you can't.
Speaker 2: Get out while you can. But I think what gets
Speaker 2: lost in that translation is just how good season and
Speaker 2: why is Choteau Imanaga going to be And that's kind
Speaker 2: of the tough part. The thing I've never really loved
Speaker 2: is that he is kind of just a two pitch pitcher.
Speaker 2: I mentioned this before. It's fastball and splitter. That's when
Speaker 2: he throws. I'm looking at now seven and I'm trying
Speaker 2: to do quick man. Seventy three percent of his pitches
Speaker 2: thrown yesterday were fastballs or splitters. Now you know, he
Speaker 2: alter where he's throwing them and makes them, you know,
Speaker 2: become better pitches and stuff like that. But those type
Speaker 2: of guys are a little bit tougher, and sometimes when
Speaker 2: it goes wrong, it goes really wrong, and specifically high
Speaker 2: end splitter guys. If that splitter's not working, you only
Speaker 2: have the fastball it. But even though the fastball is
Speaker 2: in a powerhouse, the stuff plus goes across the board
Speaker 2: because he can command it. He's deceptive. It's the reach,
Speaker 2: you know, the.
Speaker 1: Over like the IVYB.
Speaker 2: The visual view of how the fastball comes out for everybody,
Speaker 2: it's devastating. So coming back to it, the question is
Speaker 2: is like, yeah, he's going to regress in some level,
Speaker 2: But is that regression going to make him SP twenty
Speaker 2: eight or is that regress just gonna even him out
Speaker 2: to being like a top ten sp the rest of
Speaker 2: the year, and that's my struggle with it. I lean
Speaker 2: to not move Imanaga unless someone is going to blow
Speaker 2: you away, unless someone's gonna trade their awesome superstar that's
Speaker 2: struggling those Julio Rodriguez sellers those I mean, not Randy
Speaker 2: rose Rain. I don't think that's enough. But like in
Speaker 2: line with that, I tend to think that Imanaga, yes,
Speaker 2: he will even out, but it's going to be good
Speaker 2: this year, and I would love to see a little
Speaker 2: bit more of a pitch mix in here. But I
Speaker 2: don't know, Like you guys, tell me, what are the
Speaker 2: potential trades that you could sell.
Speaker 1: For theoretical overpay Logan Web and Man, how about Logan
Speaker 1: Webb and Marcelo Zuna? Would you do that?
Speaker 2: It's a pretty good trade.
Speaker 1: I think that makes you.
Speaker 2: I just think that team that makes your team offensively
Speaker 2: pretty good. It is a step down pitching wise, Like
Speaker 2: Emanaga Overweb, I think rest of season kind of feels
Speaker 2: like the deal or give me another Come on, jeez.
Speaker 1: I had to work really hard for that one. I
Speaker 1: wasn't expected to. But that one's very interesting though, because
Speaker 1: Web theoretically there's no brainer. Everybody had Web ranked way
Speaker 1: above the Monaga going into this year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, So that's one of those things like do you
Speaker 1: trust the past in the process, so you trust what
Speaker 1: your eyes are telling you right now? All right, let's
Speaker 1: see here.
Speaker 2: I have one for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, you give me one? Yeah, that's yeah. Why don't
Speaker 1: you do one of these versus I'll do it.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I just before I get away
Speaker 2: from me, I just wanted to mention in that matchup yesterday,
Speaker 2: he had twenty total whiffs. Fifteen of them came from
Speaker 2: his splitter. There's god there, does I mean even now
Speaker 2: I'm saying I'm not gonna hold onto him. There's gotta
Speaker 2: be a point.
Speaker 1: Whereto Corey Seeger from the chat from Kiko.
Speaker 2: I swear to God, that is what I had pulled up.
Speaker 2: I have right here right on my thing. I just
Speaker 2: didn't get to see it yet, am I the thing
Speaker 2: right up here that you guys can't see. I had
Speaker 2: pulled up Corey Seeger wh was doing my little narrative
Speaker 2: about how he was yesterday. I just wanted to let
Speaker 2: people know everything was off the splitter yesterday. At some
Speaker 2: point they're gonna stop swinging at it, and that is
Speaker 2: maybe a little. I literally put up Corey Seager. I
Speaker 2: want you to answer that. That was my question. Who's
Speaker 2: who else?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to give this crappy It depends
Speaker 1: on your roster construction answer. Don't so I won't. I
Speaker 1: want showed Tomaga Cory Seer over Corey Seeger. Yeah, Segar
Speaker 1: always gets hurt. That's just it's one of the ways,
Speaker 1: like Mike trout inevitabilities, where I hate saying it. It
Speaker 1: hurts my soul to say it, but it's just true.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about another good thing to tell Marte in
Speaker 1: a home run. We'll see if Welsh got on the board.
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll, I don't know. Is he back three straight games?
Speaker 1: So they hiss another guy. We kept saying bye like
Speaker 1: he was never gonna be terrible all year as long
Speaker 1: as he was healthy.
Speaker 2: So well, I've been of the come on, sorry you're
Speaker 2: ah No, I'm.
Speaker 1: Just saying like, it's time, it's time to turn around
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll. It was going to happen. I don't think
Speaker 1: the window of trading for him is closed, do you.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no, don't people learn like listen.
Speaker 2: I am of the likes that he's not gonna be
Speaker 2: able to get back to where he was. His you
Speaker 2: has changed, he acknowledged the other day. Because I've been
Speaker 2: droning on about what the hell's going on with the
Speaker 2: shoulder and all the things, and he acknowledged that he
Speaker 2: got his swing too flat, is what he said, and
Speaker 2: he was really weird about it. So I like that
Speaker 2: he's changing that. But he said something interesting. I've been like,
Speaker 2: why the hell are you swinging at every first pitch?
Speaker 2: And he said last year to get out of his
Speaker 2: funk is he got hyper aggressive early on. So that's
Speaker 2: what he's trying to do. It really hasn't worked, except
Speaker 2: as of recent things are starting to turn around. He's
Speaker 2: got hits in six of his last seven games, three
Speaker 2: straight games of the hit two of those are multi
Speaker 2: hit games, and he had an opposite field homer yesterday.
Speaker 2: Those are good signs. Here's another bad sign though. He
Speaker 2: hasn't stolen a base since April seventeenth, So Corbyn Carroll's all.
Speaker 1: Over the board.
Speaker 2: I agree with how far down Carol went. This is
Speaker 2: an interesting time to buy because I think some people
Speaker 2: are seeing this as oh, I can get out from
Speaker 2: Corbin now. I'd be willing to buy Corbin on the
Speaker 2: lo Loo, but I don't like coming back to Imanaga.
Speaker 2: I am the lo lo the low I.
Speaker 1: Think you mean down low. There's like Lolo I think
Speaker 1: is pretty I'm pretty sure that's one of like the
Speaker 1: Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Speaker 2: If it's not, oh lol yeah low piece of there's
Speaker 2: like there's a low and then there's like a lo
Speaker 2: lo my wife that you definitely would have a house
Speaker 2: Real housewife whatever. But there's like low which is like
Speaker 2: maybe like ninety percent, and then lo lo is in
Speaker 2: like the eighty percent tile range of what you're paying
Speaker 2: for Carrol's perceived value. I would be interested in buying
Speaker 2: that lo low value. I don't know if i'd buy
Speaker 2: the high hide because I don't think he's gonna get
Speaker 2: back to being the first or second round player. What
Speaker 2: are you losing?
Speaker 1: It about the dumbest conversation. And that's saying something because
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of dumb gun the low low
Speaker 1: or the high highs' trying to talk in Layman's sounds
Speaker 1: like the wiggles or something.
Speaker 2: But every single baseball person's like the now four times
Speaker 2: talk about the expected I mean I do that too,
Speaker 2: but I'm just trying to talk in some highis.
Speaker 1: I can understand. Thank you for dumbing it down for
Speaker 1: all of us with the high eyes and the lolo.
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander he was very low low seven runs, eight hits,
Speaker 1: that good against the Yankees. Any fear about Justin Verlander here, Well,
Speaker 1: I grasses. Actually it's a good pie for you weird.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you man, I have a photo.
Speaker 2: I have a photo where I had the mustache and
Speaker 2: I took the pictures. I looked like, who is Rasball?
Speaker 2: Was it Gray not Grant?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 2: You know, I look just it just looked just like
Speaker 2: it was great. Justin Verlander, Yes, absolutely worried. He looks
Speaker 2: super old. He's older than me. That says something. I
Speaker 2: don't feel super super optimistic that it is all going
Speaker 2: to like turn around and get back to vintage Justin Verlander.
Speaker 2: It's just gonna be a little bit dicey.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not investing in forty something year old pictures.
Speaker 1: I get up every morning and things hurt for no reason.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what's like to play me baseball. And
Speaker 1: that's why it's starting to worry me. The Max suers
Speaker 1: Er thing like, I was so excited he was coming
Speaker 1: back early, and then this thumb thing cropped up and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, here we go again. It's like
Speaker 1: maybe this is another thing too where Surezer gets back
Speaker 1: on track and maybe we do shop him around. I
Speaker 1: you got him on your roster.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what he can bring that, And it's something to consider,
Speaker 2: Like it's probably like more about consistency and how they're
Speaker 2: able to keep going because looking at Verlander, his villa
Speaker 2: was up across the board. Because it's fun to mention
Speaker 2: like what they did in this start villa fastball was
Speaker 2: up half a mile, power slider was up almost a
Speaker 2: mile per hour, which is good, but it was getting
Speaker 2: no whips. It wasn't around the zone. Really a ton
Speaker 2: outside the zone. His top two pitches he throws around
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of the time twenty eight and seventeen
Speaker 2: percent swing rate outside of the zone. So the fastball
Speaker 2: insider just weren't fooling anybody outside of the zone to
Speaker 2: get some of those swing and whifs. So then that
Speaker 2: brings your pitches inside in in the zone, Joe, It
Speaker 2: brings them in in, and then that makes you more
Speaker 2: hit hittable.
Speaker 1: Dear God, all right, let's get to the next one. Here,
Speaker 1: Wilson control his zone contact rate, and I.
Speaker 3: Believe wels is what he's trying to say is the
Speaker 3: zone contact rate is a bit er from which we've
Speaker 3: seen it normally from the statistics here in the Savant page.
Speaker 1: Hmm, Wilson Contreras, this was not good. I watched this
Speaker 1: happened live last night. I was watching the game, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh goodness, gracious, like so as soon
Speaker 1: as it happened, I thought it was his hand, but
Speaker 1: turned out that it was his forearm, and it was
Speaker 1: it was nasty. So in case you didn't see this, Wilson,
Speaker 1: Controller's got hit by JD. Martinez and it was weird
Speaker 1: because Controller's was as far back as you could be,
Speaker 1: but he reached so far forward and he got caught.
Speaker 2: There with the bat and I was the swing JD.
Speaker 1: Martinez swing Jadie Martinez swing right onto his forearm, and
Speaker 1: it was I mean, he was in substantial pain. I
Speaker 1: mean they say six to eight weeks.
Speaker 2: Fractured his arm instantly. I mean a bat. He literally
Speaker 2: got beat by a bat on Yeah, risk.
Speaker 1: That's like someone taking a bat to your forearm and
Speaker 1: broke I'm like, hopefully it's a clean break. They already
Speaker 1: doing the surgery, Like we're already there. Frankie montos May's
Speaker 1: return two runs, only one earned, six innings, four hits,
Speaker 1: not bad against your niemabacks Yoshinobu Yamamoto five hits, eight innings,
Speaker 1: a two win for the Dodgers and Kyle Harrison part
Speaker 1: of a shutout. He threw seven innings and the bullpen
Speaker 1: came into the rest against the Rockies. Oh, the Rockies,
Speaker 1: Welsh the gift that never stops sting.
Speaker 2: But by the way, Harrison, you guys remember, like my
Speaker 2: favorite thing yesterday was Imonaga four strikeouts compared with paired
Speaker 2: with Harrison for five against the freaking Rockies. Yeah, Harrison
Speaker 2: was awesome, but no strikeouts. He had like two strikeouts
Speaker 2: over seven innings. It's one of those like, oh, the
Speaker 2: the process was right, but he just didn't didn't need
Speaker 2: to strike any beat his pitching to a ton of contact.
Speaker 2: He got.
Speaker 1: We've got dinner, compan we got a late dinners plan
Speaker 1: for tonight. Can we just first, let's let's get this going.
Speaker 1: They're bad, you know, it's it's depressing when you can't
Speaker 1: look to the Rockies for offense. I got like, think
Speaker 1: about that, think about in our lifetimes of fantasy, right
Speaker 1: I started playing fantasy. I think in nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 1: I want to say, is when I started really playing
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball, like like I cared about it. And it
Speaker 1: was always Colorado. Was the days of Vinnie Castilla. It
Speaker 1: was the days you know, of the Dante Bichetts of
Speaker 1: the world and that grouping and the Coloragus and like
Speaker 1: to think that we've gone through that, through the holidays
Speaker 1: and the Todd Hiltons and all that, and now we're
Speaker 1: sitting here like, yeah, well Tovar is pretty good, and
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Nolan Jones will come back healthy. But
Speaker 1: it is it's sad. It's depressing. You can't look for
Speaker 1: offense there. Gabriel Moreno, I want to talk about this.
Speaker 1: Not in the line up yesterday. He was sick. A
Speaker 1: lot of people have been asking me about dropping him.
Speaker 1: We just did a piece on you know, who to
Speaker 1: drop and who to keep guys who had slow starts
Speaker 1: who are believing in So you can check that out
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Bros. Dot com. That should be out probably
Speaker 1: later today or tomorrow. And for cleaning up that's gonna
Speaker 1: be the theme today. I think so if you're joining
Speaker 1: us after the show for the show after the show,
Speaker 1: which is kind of high high and low low sometimes
Speaker 1: or not, it's the show show. We're gonna have that
Speaker 1: conversation with a lot of players. If you've got players
Speaker 1: that you are trying to process, should I drop these guys?
Speaker 1: Should I hold on to these guys? I want you
Speaker 1: to bring those to the table in the conversation today.
Speaker 1: Join us live over on our discord for that conversation
Speaker 1: right after this cleaning up, literally right after the show
Speaker 1: again fast roos dot com slash chat. If you haven't joined,
Speaker 1: joined it because I think that's an interesting conversation. But
Speaker 1: going back to moreno is moreno one of those guys
Speaker 1: that you are in a single catcher league, especially just
Speaker 1: cutting time with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's it's a big l for me
Speaker 2: as far as, like you know, him being one of
Speaker 2: my big sleeper catchers of it. The offense has not
Speaker 2: gotten there whatsoever. Poor barrel rate, poor hard hit. It's
Speaker 2: worse than last.
Speaker 1: It's so weird because he's such a good contact guy.
Speaker 1: Like to me, if process was good, the results are bad.
Speaker 2: Up about this yeah, well, no, I don't really care.
Speaker 1: I mean catchers.
Speaker 2: That was also my big narrative. It's like you just
Speaker 2: take catchers late and you jump on that. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: is cuttable. I do think he will bounce back. The
Speaker 2: heart of heart says this is going to change. But
Speaker 2: you can cut him, and you know the the number
Speaker 2: one question I've been getting asked is could you cut
Speaker 2: moreno for Ivan Herrera, because I was gonna tell you
Speaker 2: we moved past it. But I think Ivan Herrera is
Speaker 2: an absolute pick up. He had some big hard hit numbers.
Speaker 1: Somebody just asked me this, would you pick up Herrera
Speaker 1: or Garver?
Speaker 2: Herrera Garver stinky? I mean unless he's been I haven't
Speaker 2: paid attention to him in the last week. If he's
Speaker 2: turned it around, but he's looks so bad most of
Speaker 2: the year, I would think.
Speaker 1: The attles just cook collectively bad. Like I just think
Speaker 1: that offense is gonna turn things around. Good Herre Herrera, alright,
Speaker 1: three up, three down. Marcus Simeon. Oh, he was good,
Speaker 1: four for five, leadoff homer for him, five ribbies, A
Speaker 1: good day. Marcus Simeon, Man, I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: a guy in baseball who has had such a fantastic
Speaker 1: arc to his career that seems to get I feel
Speaker 1: like zero respect every year. This year in fantasy drafts
Speaker 1: and fantasy draft season, I feel like I took him
Speaker 1: a ton in a lot of our mock drafts. I
Speaker 1: just feel like this guy does not get enough credit
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. Maybe it's because of the markets he's
Speaker 1: played in, like Oakland and Texas and then he was
Speaker 1: in Toronto for a short period, but Marcus Simeon, Man,
Speaker 1: that dude's just be awesome. Bryce Harper is also awesome.
Speaker 1: Three for three with a granny and Zach Gallon six
Speaker 1: shoutout innings, So he looks fine. That's good news, man,
Speaker 1: not fine. I don't know how many times we talked
Speaker 1: about selling this guy, but winter came for Jose Burrios
Speaker 1: eight runs, seven hits, three and two thirds. Now was
Speaker 1: against the Fight and Phils. It's a good offense. But
Speaker 1: still I didn't have Trey Turner in it. We've been
Speaker 1: talking about the regression. We've been talking about the e
Speaker 1: RA versus the XCRA and the X fIF and all
Speaker 1: the X men.
Speaker 2: I mean, this was a big X I'm a big
Speaker 2: X men guy, a big X men I bet no
Speaker 2: one could know, Mike, it.
Speaker 1: Was your guests, your favorite X Menu.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, I bet you can't guess
Speaker 2: who much you believe. Yeah, of course it's not. I mean,
Speaker 2: Wolverine's the best. But X Men ninety seven series is
Speaker 2: one of the best shows on television.
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it. I'm saving it like the summertime.
Speaker 1: I feel like is when I'll be able to watch.
Speaker 2: I'm watching Showgun and I'm watching Showgun.
Speaker 1: By the way, is it good?
Speaker 2: Phenomenal, It's amazing, it's amazing. I'm watching two of the
Speaker 2: best shows on television right now. It is killer.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely okay, your favorite character.
Speaker 2: But you have to guess in the chat I want
Speaker 2: people Tom No, it's not Gambit.
Speaker 1: That's a good guess. I have.
Speaker 2: Oh the Brios thing. I'm definitely gonna do this, do
Speaker 2: this all the time. Yeah. Brios was on the trade
Speaker 2: video to Trade Away weeks ago, and I just love
Speaker 2: it only because I remember after he had like a
Speaker 2: little bit of a bad start, somebody was like, oh,
Speaker 2: it was just gonna start celebrating about it. No, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna wait a little bit. Now we can start celebrating
Speaker 2: about how right that was, how regressive he was going
Speaker 2: to be. And he's also not striking out guys. So no.
Speaker 2: And by the way, JP nailed it, JP Boy, JP
Speaker 2: nailed that's my night Crawler. Kurt Wagna is my favorite.
Speaker 2: He was always my favorite X Men growing up.
Speaker 1: So there you go, big Alan Cumming guy. That's the
Speaker 1: Welsh big fan. He did a great job with that
Speaker 1: character in the movies.
Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, I mean he was better than the
Speaker 2: kid in the First Class series.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's also true. I love his skills the X
Speaker 1: Men movie, some of them got a little goofy as
Speaker 1: time went on.
Speaker 2: But I'm I mean, obviously, if you guys can see
Speaker 2: I'm a big you can't see it right now. Secret
Speaker 2: Wars comic up there, I'm a big X Men guy.
Speaker 1: So X Men's high quality. It makes me want to
Speaker 1: rewatch the series. And with the show Gun thing, the
Speaker 1: look of it looks so good. You know me, I'm
Speaker 1: a sword fighting guy. Taught sword fighting for ten years
Speaker 1: as a profession. Like, so whenever I see something in
Speaker 1: a new sword thing coming, I'm like, okay, I wasn't
Speaker 1: sure it was one of the shows. It's like all
Speaker 1: show and no go, no pun intended there where It's like,
Speaker 1: is it just the looks really good but it's got
Speaker 1: no depth character.
Speaker 2: It was just it was described to me, oh man,
Speaker 2: the acting is fun phenomenally. It was described as like
Speaker 2: a Samurai Game of Thrones, and it definitely that's how I've.
Speaker 1: Heard that feel. Yeah, And is it a reoccurring like
Speaker 1: they're gonna do more seasons or is it just like
Speaker 1: a standalone.
Speaker 2: Series that I don't know I believe. I mean, I
Speaker 2: know they have the one season. They should do more,
Speaker 2: but I think someone might have.
Speaker 1: Been I love. I love those films like Hero is
Speaker 1: a terrific film, you like obviously Crouching Tiger, like all
Speaker 1: that stuff, Like I've watched alls, I own all of
Speaker 1: those films, like phenomenal.
Speaker 2: This is, by the way, the X Men chat, the
Speaker 2: X Men stuff in the chat. Love seeing all everybody there.
Speaker 1: You go, look mere in audience, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: X Men. Let me tell you, I really like I
Speaker 1: was wondering in issue number seven hundred and forty two.
Speaker 1: I was wondering, there's something that seems out of place there,
Speaker 1: and I thought maybe perhaps you could shed some light
Speaker 1: on that I'm gonna explain everybody about.
Speaker 2: Bastion and Nimrod and how they who was with the
Speaker 2: Sentinel Prime Sentinel Learning you shouldnt even have those today?
Speaker 1: Is this might be the best show we've ever done
Speaker 1: in this and that's also saying something Logan Allen seven
Speaker 1: earned runs. He stinks Tim Anderson over four. You want
Speaker 1: to talk about like guys who you know, like completely
Speaker 1: have fallen off the map to Tim Anderson, who was
Speaker 1: once upon a time, not that long ago, a very steady,
Speaker 1: middle of the road middle infielder in fantasy and now
Speaker 1: is just like unrosterable, unbelievable.
Speaker 2: All right, I kind of want to do this, Joe can.
Speaker 2: I know it's gonna screw everything up. I just you
Speaker 2: gotta go look at his base?
Speaker 1: How is that different than every day?
Speaker 2: I just I wanted to put the Baseball Savant on the.
Speaker 1: No, it's gonna screw make it tomorrow, make it, give
Speaker 1: it to Ethan. Ethan will make a graphic of it
Speaker 1: tomorrow and we'll we'll we'll.
Speaker 2: Just imagine the farthest over blue bars. That's what it is.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want to Mad, I want to see
Speaker 1: it tomorrow. So send it to Ethan, and you'll seek
Speaker 1: goodness for Ethan. He'll make the graphic up injuries. I
Speaker 1: got a lot again, as always, some good, some bad.
Speaker 1: Senga working his way back in the bullpen. Tyler McGill
Speaker 1: working his way back in seven strikeouts, another four shutout innings.
Speaker 1: He's been terrific. I like we should be adding him.
Speaker 1: I always put him in the way while our ads.
Speaker 1: But here's the question, so bhutto Christian Scott Mania, all
Speaker 1: these guys like, so, who's getting booted from the rotation?
Speaker 2: Well, Buddha might be getting the boot. He would probably
Speaker 2: the most most likely of those. And then I think
Speaker 2: it's just a matter of time.
Speaker 1: For sure, someone will get hurt between now and then.
Speaker 1: That's the Mets. It's like probably better. Another question, Shane
Speaker 1: Boz working his way back to three innings and also
Speaker 1: Tosh Bradley working his way back. Who's getting the boot
Speaker 1: from the raise rotation?
Speaker 2: Well, you just did that meme where it's like, I'll
Speaker 2: trade you everything, give me everything good, I'll trade you bad.
Speaker 2: You know that being meme? I honestly i'd have to
Speaker 2: like see their rotation right now. I don't. I can't
Speaker 2: even think of all of the names that are in
Speaker 2: that rotation. I mean, but they've been putting out like
Speaker 2: Tyler Alexander I think is one of those guys that
Speaker 2: that would go. I feel like they've done a like
Speaker 2: a lead up, like two inning relief start game that
Speaker 2: they've had. I mean, give me the names, give me
Speaker 2: the names that are in that rotation. You got Savali,
Speaker 2: you got Peppio. Those two are locked, Okay, so there's
Speaker 2: your three. I think the rest were just combo type
Speaker 2: of players. So I think that's no Pepeo, Savally and
Speaker 2: Efflyn they're they're locked in. M Klan has not coming
Speaker 2: back till later, so I think that's where Bradley just
Speaker 2: slides right back in and and then I guess the
Speaker 2: fifth spot would be for Boss. I wouldn't be surprised
Speaker 2: if they put out like a six man rotation though,
Speaker 2: once everything is set, once you start getting back, Jeffrey
Speaker 2: Springs is gonna.
Speaker 1: Probably Pepio is not hurt, by the way, because I
Speaker 1: see that people in chat he's fine. Everything was fine,
Speaker 1: he got hit by a ball, he's fine. They said
Speaker 1: he's fine, So I'm gonna believe and say he's fine.
Speaker 1: Kyle Hendricks allowed one run, four and a third in
Speaker 1: his minor league rehabs are Brian Bayo struck out five
Speaker 1: and two to two thirds and his rehips are yesterday,
Speaker 1: say is A Zuoki was on a minor league rehab,
Speaker 1: but let's just watch minor league baseball. At this point,
Speaker 1: there's more guys playing in major league Like he's more
Speaker 1: minor league's playing in Major league baseball, and more Major
Speaker 1: league is playing in minor league baseball right now. The
Speaker 1: way this this report goes Laane Thomas taking batting practice,
Speaker 1: that's a good sign. And the Pepio leg came back negative.
Speaker 1: No fractures, know nothing, so should be hoping maybe he'll
Speaker 1: miss a start, but it doesn't look like an il stad.
Speaker 1: Bobby Miller through another bullpen session, Edward Cabrera four runs
Speaker 1: and two winnings. He left the game with bicep discomfort.
Speaker 1: Not good, Max Meyer, everybody, let's go bring him back.
Speaker 1: At Garrett Cole through a bullpen session on Tuesday, and
Speaker 1: old man Clayton Kershaw was only thirty six. By the way,
Speaker 1: I just look at that, it feels like Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 1: is fifty seven years old, but he's only thirty six.
Speaker 1: Twenty pitch bullpen session on Tuesday. Any of these injury
Speaker 1: notes stand out fantasy wise to you more than the
Speaker 1: other cold I said, off, he's the one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not so, and I.
Speaker 1: Was like, let's get that guy back.
Speaker 2: The Singa coming back I think is fun. I mean,
Speaker 2: any of the big pitchers coming back is phenomenal. The
Speaker 2: Kurshow one's going to be really interesting because I again,
Speaker 2: I think that's another thing that's going to go to
Speaker 2: a six man rotation whenever he is healthy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you have it all right. Welsh a good
Speaker 1: time here on the show so far today, and those
Speaker 1: times only get better when we change over to.
Speaker 2: The best Bets of the day.
Speaker 1: With Joey p and the Welsh. It's Wednesday, and you

Speaker 1: sure you're making your wagers at bet three sixty five,
Speaker 1: twenty one or eighteen or older. In Kentucky gambling problem
Speaker 1: called one hundred gambler or one indre bets off in Iowa,
Speaker 1: terms and conditions of I've got some terms and conditions
Speaker 1: Welsh today with my bets, let's go with the Yankees
Speaker 1: facing Spencer Aarraghetty. Oh yeah, let's do this. The Yankees
Speaker 1: played really well against the Astros in the beginning of
Speaker 1: the year. I think the worm is turning here for them,
Speaker 1: So we'll see if I am right or wrong. But
Speaker 1: the Yankees team total today, I'm going really hyper focused today. Well,
Speaker 1: you got the hyper focus over four and a half
Speaker 1: runs against Spencer Araghedtty, you're getting minus one eleven on that.
Speaker 1: Juan Soto over point five RBI, you're getting plus one thirty.
Speaker 1: Won Soda was crushing the ball all over the place
Speaker 1: last time we faced the Astros, so I want to
Speaker 1: ride that wave. Also, George Kirby, who is back and healthy.
Speaker 1: This is tight, but I think we can make money
Speaker 1: on it. Over six and a half strikeouts tonight in
Speaker 1: his outing plus one twelve the parlay of the day
Speaker 1: going back to the Yankees boys and girls. So we're
Speaker 1: going back to the Yankees for this one. So let's
Speaker 1: take that won Soto point five RBI. Let's take that
Speaker 1: Yankee team run total. You're getting that together in the
Speaker 1: same game parlay at plus two eighteen. That seems very
Speaker 1: reasonable to me. Again at RBI and the Yankees is
Speaker 1: or five runs. Yeah, I think that's very possible. So
Speaker 1: let's take that today. Welsh, what do you have for
Speaker 1: the people for the best bets for Wednesday?
Speaker 2: Ooki Doki? Well, I am gonna join you in trying
Speaker 2: to get involved in the Seattle Mariners because love me
Speaker 2: some George Kirby. So how about the first five money
Speaker 2: lines are the first five innings betting on the Mariners
Speaker 2: to be in the lead, because George Kirby is not
Speaker 2: going to give up runs. So that's my hope. So
Speaker 2: I found that around minus one twelve. So Seattle Mariners
Speaker 2: first five money line one of my favorite bets of
Speaker 2: the day. I am dabbling back in gentlemen, ladies and
Speaker 2: gentlemen people, mutants, synthiens. I'm getting back into a neurfe
Speaker 2: I will I pre warn you I a little nurfy break.
Speaker 1: You and rpy's had a really good relationship last year.
Speaker 1: This year it seems like you got to me and.
Speaker 2: Nurphy's went hot and heavy to start the year, and
Speaker 2: we were having a time and then we broke up
Speaker 2: for a bit. But I'm jumping back into it Washington Baltimore,
Speaker 2: and it's not a big upjuiced one because I don't
Speaker 2: exact actually worse odds on a yes first run score.
Speaker 2: You've got Mitch Parker and you've got Kyle Bradish going
Speaker 2: up minus one ten for no run to be scored.
Speaker 2: Reason why Washington is last in the league in first
Speaker 2: run scoring, Baltimore is the eleventh worst and first run
Speaker 2: scoring and Baltimore also has the second lowest scoring away
Speaker 2: team through the first inning in all of baseball. So
Speaker 2: I am attacking that one. And my little side note
Speaker 2: to the Welsh parlay of the day is if you
Speaker 2: pair that with Seattle and Minnesota no run first score
Speaker 2: with Chris Paddock and George Kirby, you can get almost
Speaker 2: two fifty plus two to fifty to pair parlay those
Speaker 2: two no runs in the first inning if you want
Speaker 2: to do that. But Washington Baltimore the official one. And
Speaker 2: how about that Sonny Gray always attacking with Sunny Gray
Speaker 2: strikeouts five and a half over, it's minus one twenty
Speaker 2: the Mets. They're kind of a tough strikeout team in general,
Speaker 2: they don't do a whole bunch of it. But Sunny
Speaker 2: Gray has six strikeouts in every start this year but
Speaker 2: one that one he pitched like sixty four. He struck
Speaker 2: out nine Mets earlier in the year when he had
Speaker 2: his start. So I'm gonna take the five and a
Speaker 2: half and i will tell you I've sprinkled a little
Speaker 2: bit on the alternative plus seven, which is around plus
Speaker 2: like almost two to one, So almost two to one.
Speaker 2: He gets seven strikeouts on Sunny Gray, So that's my
Speaker 2: little sprinkle. Those are my bets. Best bets of the.
Speaker 1: Day, and make sure you download the Betting Pros app

Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: It was the chance yesterday there were a couple people
Speaker 2: with nine. I could have jumped. I got my homwerk call,
Speaker 2: could tell Marte thank you very much, no Otani, I
Speaker 2: just didn't get there and trying get me.
Speaker 1: You're so close, You're right there, right there. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be right there today too, with one Soto again that's right.
Speaker 3: You do.
Speaker 1: You always think the good, that's right. So I want
Speaker 1: home runs because I want to be the heel around here.
Speaker 1: So how do you do that? Well, you your call
Speaker 1: home runs and you call them with big time players.
Speaker 1: So wan so toe Oh, I'm gonna show you my
Speaker 1: so to face today or tomorrow, depending on how things go.
Speaker 1: So who are you going with your home run called
Speaker 1: for today?
Speaker 2: Office space amazing? Give me a schwar Bomb. That's right,
Speaker 2: we're gonna be attacking Chris Bassett. Give me the Kyle
Speaker 2: Schwarber for the big home run today. Get me on
Speaker 2: the board, Kyle.
Speaker 1: I'm going to apologize to Rob because I heard that
Speaker 1: Pepio was not going on the iel this morning. So
Speaker 1: if indeed they said that last night, then that is
Speaker 1: news that's different than what I heard this morning from
Speaker 1: some of the beat guys down there. So again, apologies
Speaker 1: if that's incorrect. On Pepio, I was told that you
Speaker 1: might miss a start from what I saw and not
Speaker 1: necessarily go on the eyel. So we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2: It looks like is starting I think I saw on Friday,
Speaker 2: So that looks like that's what is already smart. I
Speaker 2: believe there, I believe so or right in line, right
Speaker 2: close to it.
Speaker 1: There he goes, why we can't have nice things? Nobody's
Speaker 1: healthy anytime. I'm just I'm just happy that Wilson contraras
Speaker 1: the arm is still attached to him, because that was
Speaker 1: brutal last night. That was not the kind of injury
Speaker 1: you want to see, Welsh. Any final thoughts for today,
Speaker 1: we got a little time left. Anything that is exciting
Speaker 1: you today in Major League Baseball? You got your eye
Speaker 1: on you look at the slate, you see what's going
Speaker 1: on here. You know, I'm excited about the Yankees and
Speaker 1: the Astros there. What about you? Anything out there that's
Speaker 1: really popping for you today in the world of MLB.
Speaker 2: A couple of quick things here. I'm going to be
Speaker 2: paying attention to Corbyn Carrol a little bit more. I
Speaker 2: was having fun with it last night with you on
Speaker 2: tweeting my picture when he hits a homer. But I
Speaker 2: really do think we want to pay attention to what
Speaker 2: some of those exit velos are looking like, the way
Speaker 2: he's making contact, he's getting the ball in the air.
Speaker 2: That opposite field homer was great and was OPO, So
Speaker 2: pay attention to that. George Kirby, of course, is going
Speaker 2: to be on my mind when I'm going to be
Speaker 2: paying heavy attention to as he continues to lock in
Speaker 2: and hopefully dominate. And then Saint Anthony mentioned this like
Speaker 2: three or four times. But Camonaro. A lot of people
Speaker 2: are asking about camon Aro because of this article that
Speaker 2: came out. Listen, I've heard nothing. Local reporters are going
Speaker 2: to have a better lock than me. For me, it's
Speaker 2: a lot of spec And what's going on is you're
Speaker 2: having local reporters saying that he might not be up
Speaker 2: anytime soon, and I buy it.
Speaker 1: I think we talked me tomorrow. It could be.
Speaker 2: I think we talked to talk about it here on ITL.
Speaker 2: But he's only played third base this whole year, so
Speaker 2: shortstop is just not gonna be an option. Cabal Aro
Speaker 2: has played well, this would have to be a situation
Speaker 2: where he's gonna go and he's gonna DH and listen,
Speaker 2: it's fair enough. We have to talk from this level
Speaker 2: of excitement with prospects and stuff, but every time they fail,
Speaker 2: it's like you guys are comments are zero for five. Okay,
Speaker 2: we get, we get how those things work. You might
Speaker 2: have a team that also sees the landscape of it
Speaker 2: is not They don't feel they're in desperate need, even
Speaker 2: though their offense is kind of stunk a little bit,
Speaker 2: but they just got a rejuvenation from Josh Lowe that
Speaker 2: they're gonna hold this back. I think it's a possibility.
Speaker 2: And guess what I was saying three weeks ago, and
Speaker 2: I was getting killed for the chat. I might not
Speaker 2: hold on to Cameron Arow if I have short benches,
Speaker 2: and I would move on to players that are getting
Speaker 2: production right now because we just don't know. And we
Speaker 2: could go into June now where Cam is not in
Speaker 2: the majors, and if you've held since drafting, you've held
Speaker 2: for two months, if there are viable options out there,
Speaker 2: we can't know what the Rays are gonna do. I
Speaker 2: would make that move, especially in short inches.
Speaker 1: Or something like that. I originally said Memorial Day. I'm
Speaker 1: sticking to a Memorial Day that was before he got hurt.
Speaker 1: And then he came back and he was right hot,
Speaker 1: and everyone's like, oh, he's gotta come up soon, and
Speaker 1: I was like, well, maybe maybe he will. That would
Speaker 1: be nice, But for me, the things I'm looking for tonight,
Speaker 1: Jack Lighter getting a start to see if he can
Speaker 1: get to Yes, that's seventeen era down all. Also, Chris
Speaker 1: Sales first start tonight against his old squad, the Red Sox.
Speaker 2: Paveta back too. That's gonna be great sale. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be a match up.
