Speaker 3: ask us questions. Well what a dream it is the
Speaker 3: chat with us. Uh, here's one for a gundhy. Hey guys, first,
Speaker 3: you're doing home run calls with you all. My tag
Speaker 3: is Gundy seventy seven, and I think I should have three,
Speaker 3: not two. Look at Gundhy already bringing the grievances here,
Speaker 3: he says, thanks for being one of the best parts.
Speaker 1: Of Mike is official festiv Already.
Speaker 3: The feats of strength will follow at some point, that
Speaker 3: is for sure. But Gundhy, my advice to you hit
Speaker 3: up Mike Mahyor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was about to say the same thing.
Speaker 2: You just blame Mayor when anything goes wrong, you just go, hey, Mike,
Speaker 2: what did you do wrong?
Speaker 1: Mike's in the chat, by the way.
Speaker 4: Well that well, he knows we can bring Actually, that's
Speaker 4: what we should do.
Speaker 3: We should break. Can we bring Mike Mayor up in
Speaker 3: the chat right now and talk about his aftermath of
Speaker 3: benching Bryce Harper yesterday?
Speaker 1: Because it's a great idea.
Speaker 4: All right, I'd like to hear that grievance. Mayor. I've
Speaker 4: brought you up here on the stage, so please please
Speaker 4: come speak with us. Mike Mahyre. I want I want
Speaker 4: you to be up here. I want you to talk
Speaker 4: about what's going on here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to see it too. I think he
Speaker 2: did the invite so you have to accept invite.
Speaker 3: I don't know how to accept the invite. What am
Speaker 3: I doing here? I'm just I mean, I requested him
Speaker 3: to speak. He's got to accept my request, That's what
Speaker 3: he In the meantime, let's get to more questions here.
Speaker 3: Looking to add some outfield position depth here with a
Speaker 3: preference in a bit of power. This is from Crawford
Speaker 3: forty two. So here's I guess what we've got here.
Speaker 3: Scott Merrill, O'Neill, Joe Siri, Duran, Benson, Rafaela all available.
Speaker 3: Rafaela Meryll was where my eyes go right away. O'Neill also,
Speaker 3: but Duran, I mean, how is Duran still available? I mean,
Speaker 3: that's the best guy on this board in my opinion. Welsh,
Speaker 3: do you agree or to.
Speaker 1: Your hands down? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean this is probable. This is one of those leagues.
Speaker 2: There's got to be a ten man league. I don't
Speaker 2: think Crawford said it, but yeah, I would rank this
Speaker 2: by the way Dran ooh ooh, everybody else, I guess Duran,
Speaker 2: maybe Merrill and Benson and Scott and then Rafaela and
Speaker 2: then there's like another tier. So like that, I would
Speaker 2: if I was teering those out. That's how I would
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 4: Look, it's it's duran far above, especially in a five
Speaker 4: by five. I think that's the way you go. Here's
Speaker 4: a question from Nate.
Speaker 3: My friend Osh Morel or Cheerio on a ten man
Speaker 3: points league rest of season.
Speaker 4: I'm going with Cheerio. I want to see the up side.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well also Cheerio with like the lack of strikeouts.
Speaker 2: That's gonna really help too, Like Morel's gonna go through
Speaker 2: a thing like Morel. I saw this really great stat.
Speaker 2: Lance Brasdowski, who's a personal friend. I've done some shows
Speaker 2: with him. I don't know, did you ever do a
Speaker 2: show with Lance?
Speaker 1: You ever been?
Speaker 4: I haven't done a show with anyone named Lance.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, not since.
Speaker 2: Well Lance is now on like Cubs broadcast, and he
Speaker 2: did go look for the thing that's out there. There's
Speaker 2: a video it's him and Cliff Floyd and Lance talked about, well,
Speaker 2: first off, it's a viral clip because it's Cliff Floyd
Speaker 2: being like, oh, the baseball savant's actually useful, and that
Speaker 2: was a whole thing. And Lance talked about how it's
Speaker 2: one of two things. He said, pitchers are terrified to
Speaker 2: throw fastballs to Chris Morel. It could also be you
Speaker 2: don't need to throw fastballs to Chris Morrel. But Morell
Speaker 2: had a twenty four percent fastball rate coming to him.
Speaker 2: League average is around forty five. No one is throwing
Speaker 2: him fastballs. It's all breaking pitches. Now, he's doing a
Speaker 2: good job adjusting, but that's his thing. He can struggle
Speaker 2: with those breaking pitches and he's going to go through
Speaker 2: strikeout issues. I don't think Churio is going to quite
Speaker 2: have that. So the long winded way to say, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: Churio is the dude here, Cheerio would be the one that.
Speaker 1: I would pick.
Speaker 2: Also want to remind everybody if you guys want to
Speaker 2: come on and speak, I think you can raise your
Speaker 2: rate hand in.
Speaker 3: It and raise your hand and then I invite you
Speaker 3: just right click raise your hand. You'll be the first
Speaker 3: person to ever speak on the show. You could also
Speaker 3: be the last person to ever speak on the show,
Speaker 3: depending on how many people raise their hand, but hopefully
Speaker 3: the first of many. That's what we're hoping for. Here's
Speaker 3: another one from Obi Wan Outlaw. Is McClain worth holding
Speaker 3: in a ten man league?
Speaker 2: No, and if you have I ls and you can
Speaker 2: just kind of like dump him and stash him down there.
Speaker 2: And also he would be one of the first to
Speaker 2: probably go by the way if you get into some
Speaker 2: injury issues. So I would say, if you have an
Speaker 2: IIL spot, sure, but otherwise no, I would not.
Speaker 3: Here's one from Joey v which I can only assume
Speaker 3: is Joey Voto. We have should I drop? Should I
Speaker 3: drop McLean and stash Bradish on the IOH instead?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean either, whatever your need is, I probably would.
Speaker 2: I think Bradish is a much better opportunity to uh
Speaker 2: to come back.
Speaker 1: Hey, we got our first person. Who's ready to come on?
Speaker 1: Are you ready to?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: I wish it was Mike Mayor.
Speaker 3: I wish he had the guts to talk to us
Speaker 3: about his terrible decision. Oh wait, it is Mike Mayor.
Speaker 3: Mike Mayor the first person. Does this count if Mike
Speaker 3: Mayor is the first person?
Speaker 1: I didn't realize. Mike finally agreed, But yeah, we have.
Speaker 6: He was talking about someone else. There was someone else
Speaker 6: coming up.
Speaker 3: I just find Mike Mayor first of all. Mike, condolences
Speaker 3: for sitting Bryce Harper. Was this a category format?
Speaker 4: Was it head to head?
Speaker 3: Like what was the situation here, in this whole sit
Speaker 3: that you missed all those stats last.
Speaker 6: Night, head to head, category, daily lineups, sat Price, Harper
Speaker 6: for all three home runs, and it's.
Speaker 1: All your fun. Well, why would you do it?
Speaker 2: Why would you sit him in like you don't sit
Speaker 2: the guy until they say he's officially out.
Speaker 6: Well, here's the thing it was.
Speaker 1: I'm very busy.
Speaker 6: I'm very busy.
Speaker 4: I'm a very busy man.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. That's all that I thought there was.
Speaker 1: I thought there was more.
Speaker 4: That's all.
Speaker 6: The two of you talk so much. I just assumed
Speaker 6: you were going to talk over me the whole time.
Speaker 4: That's why it was. That's why we give your show
Speaker 4: once a week so you could get a word exactly.
Speaker 6: So I'm very busy. I'm also I've had a sick
Speaker 6: kid home all week, and so I know. I'm I
Speaker 6: lived in Philly for a long time. I'm from Jersey.
Speaker 6: I follow everyone in the Northeast, and everyone up there
Speaker 6: said this game is not going to be played. They're like,
Speaker 6: there's no way it's gonna rain. Even when it stops raining.
Speaker 6: The field is a mess, there's a creek in right field.
Speaker 6: There was all kinds of jokes about there's a creak
Speaker 6: and right field in a Marshaan left field, you know,
Speaker 6: hilarious dad jokes. And I was like, all right, like
Speaker 6: let me, let me put Ryan mount Castle on my
Speaker 6: lineup where he belongs and put Bryce Starper on the
Speaker 6: bench for a night. And they're you know, you're welcome
Speaker 6: for your three home runs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I you know what it was. Definitely, I
Speaker 4: definitely put part of.
Speaker 3: The good luck towards you sitting him yesterday, like you
Speaker 3: were one hundred percent right in that call.
Speaker 1: I yeh, that's absolutely By.
Speaker 2: The way, do you have Tatis? Could you bench Tatis
Speaker 2: for me today?
Speaker 4: Yeah? And Alvarez? Can you bench those guys for us today?
Speaker 6: I don't have either of those players.
Speaker 2: Well, a good spot then, So, hey, you're gonna plug
Speaker 2: your show that's coming up, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: It is coming up. Yeah, every week the Warm and
Speaker 6: Eye and usually or sometimes I'm not sure what the
Speaker 6: schedule is going to be, featuring Welsh and Wonky Penguin.
Speaker 6: Speaking of Wonky Penguin, you can blame her for the
Speaker 6: home run calls, not me, So let's.
Speaker 1: Get out of the way. Yeah, good call.
Speaker 6: Yeah, every week I think it's going to release on
Speaker 6: like Thursday evenings, maybe Friday morning, depending on the week,
Speaker 6: depending on when when Welsh gets it up, being the
Speaker 6: producer that he.
Speaker 4: Is for us.
Speaker 6: But yeah, Worm and I are going to do a
Speaker 6: weekly the cycle.
Speaker 4: Well you're getting old. How often is that nowadays?
Speaker 1: It's all natural anytime.
Speaker 3: A cycle the Cycle with Mike Mahor and the Worm
Speaker 3: all talking all things baseball. Hopefully Kelly Kirby on there
Speaker 3: too as well this week. But Mayor, it's an early season,
Speaker 3: don't worry. You'll have plenty of times where you'll get
Speaker 3: those home runs back. But again, our condolences to you.
Speaker 3: How's your season started? Has it been okay?
Speaker 6: I mean I'm in so many leagues it's hard to say.
Speaker 6: I would say yes and no and maybe across the board.
Speaker 4: Well, there you have it for good stuff.
Speaker 3: Can't be a breakdowns like that anywhere. But from Mike Mahyor,
Speaker 3: all right, let's go to a question here from finner guys,
Speaker 3: what's going on with aj Puck? Well, he has control problems.
Speaker 3: That's I mean, why do you think the A's moved
Speaker 3: on from him? I mean that's you know, he's a
Speaker 3: bigger guy. Control issues. He had some really good spring starts, though, Welsh,
Speaker 3: So what's your patient level with aj Puck this season?
Speaker 2: Pretty minimal. You know, if I'm in a deeper league,
Speaker 2: maybe I'm holding a little bit longer. But this has
Speaker 2: been his problem. There's a reason he was a starting
Speaker 2: pitcher moved to being a reliever. So you know, if
Speaker 2: if any of the guys we'd been talking about, I
Speaker 2: know they're not now, but if the Jared Jones and
Speaker 2: the Crochets, he's way behind them, even to the point
Speaker 2: of like a guy like Flarity who was really good,
Speaker 2: I would have I would have picked like a guy
Speaker 2: like Jack Flaherty over him right now. I just think
Speaker 2: he's streamable. That's that's his space. He's a streaming pitcher.
Speaker 2: So if there's something better out there, I would move
Speaker 2: on from it. Maybe he'll fix it. But guys, the
Speaker 2: Marlins are a disaster. They're an absolute disaster right now.
Speaker 2: It's only a matter of time before it can. The
Speaker 2: wheels continue to follow oh in.
Speaker 4: Six to start right, Six straight losses open the season.
Speaker 4: This is a good omen. By the way, who Dad
Speaker 4: is here in the chat? We're gonna bring who Dad
Speaker 4: up to speak?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 4: Who dad has a Fernando Tatisse avatar.
Speaker 1: Oh this is right for me.
Speaker 3: He's got a very good sign for you. You got
Speaker 3: to unmeete yourself. Who dat and let's chat with you.
Speaker 4: What's up, buddy?
Speaker 5: Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1: Guys?
Speaker 4: Good man? Welcome.
Speaker 3: You're the first real life person Mike Mayer doesn't count
Speaker 3: to be here on the show as a guest of
Speaker 3: cleaning up, so we're excited to have you, dude.
Speaker 4: What's happened hey?
Speaker 5: And just the tatist avatar, you know it's it's it's
Speaker 5: been kind of rough here for Padre fans, but it'll
Speaker 5: be okay for us.
Speaker 1: Would it be okay?
Speaker 2: Michael King is not gonna walk seven every start, Darvish
Speaker 2: is getting back.
Speaker 1: We're We're all good. We're all good. My brother.
Speaker 5: Yeah. And so I pretty much just had a trade question.
Speaker 5: I know it's early for trades, but you guys unleashed
Speaker 5: your players to trade for and away, and so I
Speaker 5: know you guys were hyping up gunder gunner Henderson. I
Speaker 5: know you're kind of thinking. I was kind of think
Speaker 5: of like, who would be a good trade person to
Speaker 5: trade for him?
Speaker 8: Even though I.
Speaker 5: Started off the season EXCELLENTE kind of thinking of maybe
Speaker 5: I have Bogarts and Ohneil Cruz at my shortstop and
Speaker 5: only Machado as my third basement. So I was thinking,
Speaker 5: maybe I don't need to do the trade, but you know,
Speaker 5: maybe send away one of my shortstops to get a Gunner.
Speaker 4: What's the format? Who at?
Speaker 5: It's a head to.
Speaker 3: Head head categories or points? Okay, so if it's a
Speaker 3: category league, you know it's gonna hurt Bogarts at the
Speaker 3: top of this order, Welsh is that the RBI total
Speaker 3: is gonna drop off a lot. You know, you're hitting
Speaker 3: six and when you're hitting one, there's a big difference there,
Speaker 3: whereas Gunnar Henderson, you know a little bit different thing
Speaker 3: like that would be the guy that I would circle
Speaker 3: right now personally. Look, I'm not trying to get rid
Speaker 3: of him too, because he does it for average in
Speaker 3: those category leagues. So I mean you're kind of in
Speaker 3: a good spot there. I'd rather have Gunner Henderson than
Speaker 3: over both of those guys.
Speaker 2: And I think that's that's the thing though, because I
Speaker 2: I hyped up Gunner in the trade thing, because I
Speaker 2: really think the way he's hitting the ball and the
Speaker 2: way he's looking early on even though the stats haven't
Speaker 2: gotten up there, Like, there's some guys out there that
Speaker 2: are putting out like I mean, Mookie is different, but
Speaker 2: you know there are guys that are putting up big
Speaker 2: stats that are gonna, you know, have people being like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I can't do it anything, I can't
Speaker 2: move off this guy.
Speaker 1: He's amazing. Jury during Doran is one of those guys.
Speaker 2: But like with Gunner, I think the underlying things are
Speaker 2: telling us a big story that hasn't caught up, and
Speaker 2: I think Gunner can get to first round value. So
Speaker 2: if you have the ability to move either one, even
Speaker 2: though I love O'Neil Cruz, you move either one of
Speaker 2: them for Gunner, Yeah, I'm absolutely doing it.
Speaker 3: I'm almost more apt to move Cruise because Bogarts gives
Speaker 3: you batting average and steals. I know Cruse can give
Speaker 3: you steals as well. I get that no power too.
Speaker 3: There's there's a safer floor with Bogarts. I know there's
Speaker 3: a higher ceiling with the other player. But like, either way,
Speaker 3: whatever gets you Gunner. If you move one of those
Speaker 3: guys in some you know slap Nut Pitcher, you pick
Speaker 3: up from the waiver wire. If that gets that deal done,
Speaker 3: go do it next one up here. By the way,
Speaker 3: there was another good question before he brings somebody else
Speaker 3: up the chat too, because I saw it in there
Speaker 3: Where was it? I want to bring this up here
Speaker 3: because finding it was it was a is it hell
Speaker 3: or high water?
Speaker 4: I wanted to know about.
Speaker 3: Is it time betray Crochet or hold him for now?
Speaker 3: We talked about this on leading off today. You can't
Speaker 3: trade him now, it's too soon. So what you want
Speaker 3: to do is you want to hold him through the
Speaker 3: month of April and then if valuate. We are concerned
Speaker 3: about the White Sox as you should be. We are
Speaker 3: concerned about the innings Crochet might have, as you should be,
Speaker 3: but you have I don't think he's got enough trade
Speaker 3: value yet, but at the end of April he might.
Speaker 3: And if he looks great in April, remember there's a
Speaker 3: whole five months left where he might not look that good.
Speaker 3: I would consider poking around to trade. We talked about,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe trading him for one of the returning
Speaker 3: old fart guys like Verlander or Shurs or something like that.
Speaker 4: That's an interesting one.
Speaker 3: Here Finner is coming up to speak to we'll take
Speaker 3: Finner's question in a second. By the way, speaking Orioles
Speaker 3: we mentioned before see Jackson Holiday. By the way, went
Speaker 3: to another home run there lead off yesterday.
Speaker 2: No big deal, there's obviously it's it's kind of stupid
Speaker 2: because I'm like, there's no reason he shouldn't, like he's
Speaker 2: at the top of my prospects to stash for a reason.
Speaker 2: But he's also like the number one guy, so it's
Speaker 2: pretty blatantly obvious. But I just look at this and
Speaker 2: I go, dude's gonna be up in two weeks. Them
Speaker 2: that problem is, you know, the team is winning right now,
Speaker 2: so that's that's one of the things that might hold back.
Speaker 3: But I I just so win by more, be even better.
Speaker 3: Like what I don't understand, Like, see I'm punk had
Speaker 3: a great line. So I was watching the Ariel Hajwane interview.
Speaker 3: He just did was so good as I'd rather choke
Speaker 3: on greatness than starve on mediocrity.
Speaker 4: Is that not just sh that's just so good. It's
Speaker 4: such a great line.
Speaker 3: Finner, You got any great lines? You got any questions?
Speaker 3: Finner's gonna join us here in the chat.
Speaker 7: Hello, Hello, thanks for having us on, guys.
Speaker 4: Thanks for being here. It's fun. Like it's like radio,
Speaker 4: but with avatars.
Speaker 1: Face too, so it is just like radio.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well at least I don't avatar.
Speaker 7: I got a question coming all the way from Canada.
Speaker 7: I'm wondering what to do with Jackson Holiday because I
Speaker 7: got some enticing waiver wire guys that I'm looking at
Speaker 7: in my twelve man league.
Speaker 3: Let's hear the waiver wire guys. Let's hear the names
Speaker 3: perfect time. That's like, we set this, not been planned it,
Speaker 3: but we didn't.
Speaker 7: I've got guys like Mikael Garcia, I got Jordan Westburg,
Speaker 7: Bryce Terrang Connor Joe, a few guys that are kind
Speaker 7: of heating up here.
Speaker 6: I got JP Crawford, and.
Speaker 7: I don't know. I'm I'm kind of wondering if I
Speaker 7: should be holding on to him or if I should
Speaker 7: be putting in Westburg, the guy who's actually getting the plane.
Speaker 4: So let me let me.
Speaker 2: Ask you before I say no to everybody that you
Speaker 2: just said and say, clearly hold on to Holiday. What
Speaker 2: is the status of Holiday and your roster is he
Speaker 2: just is he a bench or did you have to
Speaker 2: like replace some crappy bench player to put him in?
Speaker 1: Like, like how is he sitting on your roster right now?
Speaker 7: He's just sitting on my bench, not doing.
Speaker 1: Anything, Like how many guys? But how like what what
Speaker 1: does your bench look like?
Speaker 7: I got Brandon Lau and Yeamer Candelario and and uh
Speaker 7: Blake Snell and H Reagan's on my bench, so.
Speaker 1: It's only four bench.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe can speak to in a second, I would
Speaker 2: say I'm not dropping Holiday because he's gonna be a
Speaker 2: top waiver guy.
Speaker 1: You also didn't.
Speaker 2: Rattle off like like this awesome list where I would
Speaker 2: be like, well, there is a lot of good players.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that like Michael Garcia isn't like cool
Speaker 2: in JP Crawford, but that doesn't reek to me like, oh,
Speaker 2: there is a you know, a plethora of great players
Speaker 2: to be able to pick from all the time that
Speaker 2: I legit think Holiday can be up within the next
Speaker 2: two weeks.
Speaker 1: Now, I wouldn't kill you if you dropped it.
Speaker 2: But I'm a firm hold because I think when he's up,
Speaker 2: he is better than every single player.
Speaker 3: You're really stepping into these today, your firm hold whenever
Speaker 3: Welch gets it up, like right, I.
Speaker 2: Didn't even I didn't even think about it. That's why
Speaker 2: that's where I'm at. I don't know about you, Joe,
Speaker 2: do you feel different?
Speaker 3: Er, Let's keep this simple, man, you're absolutely just holding
Speaker 3: It's it's the third of April. Holiday could be a
Speaker 3: game changing player. None of those guys are changing your season.
Speaker 3: Holliday could change your season, Like, well, you sit through
Speaker 3: the pain of but it's April third, Like come on,
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, guy, Like I've been sitting through
Speaker 3: paying my whole life. Like it's like we're a week
Speaker 3: into the season. Tomorrow, we're a week into the season.
Speaker 3: So like you got a hold out a guy like this.
Speaker 3: He's just too talented. And it's not like if Holiday
Speaker 3: was struggling or moping at Triple A, I might have
Speaker 3: a different answer.
Speaker 4: But he's not.
Speaker 3: He's hitting everywhere, He's racing, like just you know, just
Speaker 3: hanging there.
Speaker 4: It'll all be okay.
Speaker 3: Fred Dinger says, by the way, that was a great
Speaker 3: seampunk interview, and then JP says, I wish Joe Pisapia
Speaker 3: did that interview me too. It would have been amazing.
Speaker 3: A new episode of In This Ring. By the way,
Speaker 3: I sent to Welsh this morning for upload. Did you
Speaker 3: upload the In This Ring podcast.
Speaker 1: I did not. I was preparing for this show, so
Speaker 1: it'll be up.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: It's a funny thing I got to experience. There's a
Speaker 2: little inside story that when we went to Nashville Fantasy Pros.
Speaker 4: Great trip inside dope here on the discord.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe and I and Derek Brown, we traveled over.
Speaker 2: We ditched everybody, and we met up with Eric Young who.
Speaker 1: It's a a w right is that where Eric is?
Speaker 4: No, he's in TNA now TNA. I can't came driving with.
Speaker 3: He was in NXT, he was on main roster WWE,
Speaker 3: and bulk of his career was an Impact Wrestling or TNA.
Speaker 3: He's been a friend of mine for more than a
Speaker 3: decade now. So I'm never in Nashville. He's always in
Speaker 3: New York. We always get together when he's in New York.
Speaker 3: And I didn't get I'm like, hey, I'm in Nashville.
Speaker 3: So he's like, well, we're definitely getting together and we did.
Speaker 1: We had a nice yeah, nice drink and that's what yeah,
Speaker 1: we had and I I had.
Speaker 2: I was friendly with Eric. We had DMD before and
Speaker 2: Jake Seey who works at the Athletic. He came out
Speaker 2: and Eric got us all row Rumbo tickets, so like
Speaker 2: he had done stuff for me and I never got
Speaker 2: to hang.
Speaker 4: Out, right, so he owed him drinks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so me and you know, Eric, we're talking about stuff.
Speaker 2: But there was this middle part of the of us
Speaker 2: hanging out and having lunch and having some drinks where
Speaker 2: it was like Eric and Joe went into full on
Speaker 2: wrestling mode.
Speaker 1: Where Joe is just talking like he works for w
Speaker 1: DOW and.
Speaker 4: We were talking about like back and stuff like stuffing.
Speaker 2: Back and Joe's like, Joe's like you know, I mean
Speaker 2: they were literally setting up this almost like how Joe
Speaker 2: could he have this insider show?
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 1: It was hilarious seeing in a good way. I mean,
Speaker 1: Joe knows it was very funny. It was like me
Speaker 1: talking about prospects, and.
Speaker 4: That's how it was.
Speaker 3: That's how I feel when you and Eric Cross get
Speaker 3: together in like like February where I still haven't gotten
Speaker 3: up to speed with everybody. Uh Fred has a question
Speaker 3: here after Holiday, who's the next Orioles prospect to own?
Speaker 4: Is it Heston Kirstad or Kobe Mayo?
Speaker 1: Kobe Mayo. Kobe Mayo is the one.
Speaker 2: Now, kurs I could come up he just absolutely hit
Speaker 2: a bomb. He could come up first, so I could
Speaker 2: be wrong on that, but you know, they set up
Speaker 2: Mayo like they set up Jackson Holiday. So I feel like,
Speaker 2: when they're ready, I think Mayo's going to be the guy.
Speaker 2: But you know what it might be. It might be
Speaker 2: about the need. Kirstad is probably going to be a
Speaker 2: corner in outfielder and if they needed a corner infield,
Speaker 2: it would be Mayo, So that would be the play.
Speaker 4: All right, Gundy's up here with a question, Guandy, what
Speaker 4: do you have?
Speaker 8: Hey, you guys, I'll go and flatly nervous beyond here.
Speaker 8: You guys are awesome, legendary in my world, so like,
Speaker 8: holy crap, I can speak to again.
Speaker 4: We're gonna disappoint you. I'm just telling you right now.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be huge.
Speaker 3: Like I understand because look, I remember doing jobs that
Speaker 3: I didn't like or being in a situation like some
Speaker 3: shows and some podcasts or radio things like that. Stuff
Speaker 3: gets you through days. It gets you through the hard
Speaker 3: days and stuff. And we're that for anybody. God, what
Speaker 3: a blessing that is. It's like so awesome. So we
Speaker 3: appreciate all of you because you know, people didn't think
Speaker 3: baseball could even be a thing around these parts, and
Speaker 3: I think we've proved everybody wrong that yeah, there's baseball
Speaker 3: can be fun. And I appreciate all of you being
Speaker 3: here with us and being part of the channel and stuff.
Speaker 4: So what do you have, Gandhi? What do you got?
Speaker 8: So I guess, as far as my roster goes head
Speaker 8: to head points try to keep it pretty lean because
Speaker 8: you have to do daily to have bid lavers, Like
Speaker 8: you can't just free agent pick up anybody, which is
Speaker 8: a drafted change to our league last year. But kind
Speaker 8: of makes you think about, you know, the whole psychology
Speaker 8: to fab and how much of you to put in
Speaker 8: and opportunity and stuff. But I guess I'm trying to
Speaker 8: maximize my pictures starts and I'll be exactly twelve, which
Speaker 8: is our max if I grab one more guy. I'm
Speaker 8: excited for Mooie Bets to go to a short stop.
Speaker 8: I'm in ESCN, so you know, another three or four
Speaker 8: games to get that eligibility with a pretty sweep. But
Speaker 8: and so I dropped like my extra bench person for
Speaker 8: another picture. But I was thinking Gavin Stone became available
Speaker 8: to someone drop them like either him or Blanco. What
Speaker 8: do you think so I can get an extra start
Speaker 8: for this week and then have them moving forward for
Speaker 8: at least maybe you know, a couple more starts, not.
Speaker 4: Who the other who the others? Like who's Blanco facing
Speaker 4: and who's Stone facing? That would enter in a great
Speaker 4: deal to my decisions.
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, Stone has by far the better matchup, but
Speaker 8: I was thinking about if Blanco was a considerably better
Speaker 8: rep the season take up by way beat that you know,
Speaker 8: and the supper matchup.
Speaker 4: I'm not putting too much. The thirty year old guy
Speaker 4: came out of nowhere and threw a no hitter, Like, I'm.
Speaker 2: Just not Yeah, I have to find the info on it,
Speaker 2: but I'm pretty sure it's there's a pretty long track
Speaker 2: record of failure after no hitters, Like the success isn't
Speaker 2: like guaranteed, like and I'm talking the start after someone
Speaker 2: throws a no hitter.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah last year, Yeah yeah, yeah, her mind, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I lean again. I lean against that.
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone and his changeup has just been on fire
Speaker 2: right now, and he's throwing strikes which he wasn't doing
Speaker 2: last year, So you take even the matchup aside. I
Speaker 2: would have probably said Gavin Stone with the matchup. I
Speaker 2: think Stone is the play. I think that's the way
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 3: I agree, all right, join us here next Wednesday, man,
Speaker 3: make sure you join us all right. Last call here
Speaker 3: if you have a question, raizor hand. We'll try to
Speaker 3: get to you if you have something in the chat.
Speaker 3: Here is another one who dat commenting more wrestling talk here.
Speaker 3: A final ball storyline with the Rock and the bloodline
Speaker 3: is pretty fire.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be there for Night one and Night two
Speaker 3: of WrestleMania in Philadelphia.
Speaker 4: I'm super excited.
Speaker 1: Welsh knows no.
Speaker 3: Actually it's my third uh and the last time I
Speaker 3: was at WrestleMania was in Philadelphia twenty five years ago
Speaker 3: in college for Rock and Stone Cold, which was a
Speaker 3: tremendous thing to be. And now twenty five years later,
Speaker 3: I'm taking my kids. My daughters are big wrestling fans.
Speaker 3: I got them into wrestling, so.
Speaker 4: We are ready to go, very excited.
Speaker 3: And I will not be in Monday Bogman's filling in
Speaker 3: because I will have no voice and I will be
Speaker 3: exhausted from screaming for two straight nights.
Speaker 1: Hopefully my voice is back.
Speaker 2: I was a WrestleMania with Undertaker and HBK here in Phoenix.
Speaker 4: Twenty five or the second one twenty.
Speaker 1: I think it was like last match type it's the second.
Speaker 4: Then it was twenty six that was the second one.
Speaker 1: That was I think I think the second time that.
Speaker 4: Was the hbk's last real mine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's not exactly what it was.
Speaker 3: There you go, all right, Uh here's South African g
Speaker 3: thoughts on after Zach Gallen start yesterday any more certainty
Speaker 3: we did talk about the buy yourselves Zach Gallon.
Speaker 4: It is very eye of the beholder. Penguin's out, I'm out.
Speaker 3: Welsh is still saying, hey, I think it depends on
Speaker 3: costs really more than anything. Like if you had somebody
Speaker 3: to overpay on Zach Gallon, like I'd be listening. If
Speaker 3: you aple move Zach Gallon and something and get Strider,
Speaker 3: than do it like that. But that's what you'd have
Speaker 3: to do to make that way.
Speaker 2: Someone present an interesting one online like if you could
Speaker 2: trade Gallon and get Reagan's would you do it?
Speaker 1: And this was to me and this I wouldn't do guys,
Speaker 1: I think it's close. Like I'm on the fence about Gallon.
Speaker 2: It pisses me off because his stuff, his command looks off.
Speaker 1: But his results are there, so it.
Speaker 4: Is that's the that's the real frustrating. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 4: like he had like last year.
Speaker 3: If people forgot Zach Gallon did not get off to
Speaker 3: a good start last year, right. I want to say
Speaker 3: the first two starts were brutal because I remember having
Speaker 3: conversations about Bilo On Gallon last year, and then obviously
Speaker 3: the rest is history last season. But again it's very
Speaker 3: eye of the beholder. Here's one from another question from finner.
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts about dropping Andrew Abbott for Logan
Speaker 3: Alan Blanco or Manaya Manaia had a good start the
Speaker 3: other day. I don't know if we care about that
Speaker 3: Abbot for.
Speaker 4: Alan Blanco or Manaia. I would hold Abbit.
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody there's a hold. I think they
Speaker 2: can all stream. So if you want to play matchups,
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. I think you can make that move.
Speaker 2: Allan is a two start he's going today, so if
Speaker 2: you were trying to get innings, I just I don't
Speaker 2: know about the ratios and stuff like Seattle hasn't been incredible,
Speaker 2: but it's not a good win matchup right now, but
Speaker 2: I would play ratios with those guys and in stream.
Speaker 1: I think it's fine.
Speaker 2: By the way, the Baltimore Royals game is delayed right
Speaker 2: now with Burt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I figured it would. I think I
Speaker 3: was looking at the weather down there. I think it's
Speaker 3: at least a delay you're gonna end up with today.
Speaker 3: But that's that's why I didn't go too hard into
Speaker 3: that game too, because you never know if they end
Speaker 3: up starting to get that, you know they stop and
Speaker 3: start that.
Speaker 1: It crushes with you East Coasters in your weather.
Speaker 3: It is done nothing but rain here for the last
Speaker 3: five or six days. It was beautiful on Sunday, gorgeous,
Speaker 3: and it's rained ever since.
Speaker 4: It's just crazy. But it's not going to rain for Mania.
Speaker 3: That's all that matters because I'm gonna be outside at
Speaker 3: Lincoln Financial Field and I want to not be in
Speaker 3: the rain if I can avoid it. Here's from Latin Dance.
Speaker 3: Would you start Harrison tonight against the Dodgers. I would
Speaker 3: avoid it if I could.
Speaker 1: I would also avoid it if I could.
Speaker 4: I mean, I like Harrison, but I would avoid that.
Speaker 2: Logan Web, a top fifteen pitcher, got beat up and
Speaker 2: Joe hates him and is already ready to trade him
Speaker 2: for Andre Rabbit. So yeah, I would mention him right.
Speaker 3: That would you trade oneo Cruz for Jackson Churio in
Speaker 3: a three keeper roto league?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, may yeah? Probably.
Speaker 3: I mean this is just a simple question. Who do
Speaker 3: you like more in dynasty or a keeper do you like?
Speaker 8: Well?
Speaker 2: But see, like I have my dynasty ranks, I've got
Speaker 2: Jackson Churio. I think it's a smidge higher. But in
Speaker 2: a three keeper three keepers are not really dynasty. It's
Speaker 2: just like you got a couple of these guys to
Speaker 2: get you through, you know what. The way Cheerio has
Speaker 2: approached at bats right now, I probably go him. But
Speaker 2: I don't think we have seen O'Neill Cruz get like
Speaker 2: unleashed yet. I think the power is coming to Powwa
Speaker 2: is coming to be unleashed soon.
Speaker 3: All right, We've got another one here in delay too,
Speaker 3: is o Kansas City, Baltimore in delay?
Speaker 1: And Lanta Chicago's in delay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so a lot of that stuff's gonna happen. By
Speaker 3: the way, Latin dances, it's lieutenant dance, all right, I
Speaker 3: don't know lieutenant dance. Latin dance look half of you
Speaker 3: all have the same avatar already anyway, which again, what
Speaker 3: is this little guy with the hat?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 4: What is that? What is that? I'm old, I don't
Speaker 4: know these things.
Speaker 2: Is there going to be a baseball game played today?
Speaker 2: I guess we have a two going are idiot?
Speaker 1: Game's gonna go?
Speaker 4: This is welcome to April. There you go.
Speaker 3: This is what we're in right now. But again every Wednesday,
Speaker 3: we're gonna be doing this.
Speaker 4: Chat with you. So when you have questions, come in there.
Speaker 3: And I think we're limited to how many people we
Speaker 3: can have at a time in here too, because I
Speaker 3: heard some people saying they could not get in earlier,
Speaker 3: so for now it's gonna be a limited number. So
Speaker 3: if you want to be with the cool kids, join
Speaker 3: us here. We will be here to make sure that
Speaker 3: we're answering your questions here, whether it's in the chat
