Speaker 1: Leading off stars right now on Fantasy Pros. I am
Speaker 1: Chris Welsh aka the Welsh, and it is yes, a
Speaker 1: wonky Wednesday. It is Kelly Kirby in the house. We
Speaker 1: see Penguins in the chat. Chat get the Penguins continuous going, Kelly,
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 2: Not a lot? I started Mitch Keller last night, but
Speaker 2: I managed to get up today. So thanks for good that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually good to have you here. You always know,
Speaker 1: by the way, if you guys don't come and check
Speaker 1: out the YouTube live, you always know it's a Wednesday
Speaker 1: by the Penguins absolutely dominating the chat with our Peanuts
Speaker 1: and Cracker Jacks. All are awesome people hanging out with
Speaker 1: us today as we are going to be going through
Speaker 1: everything that went down in baseball, everything that's coming up,
Speaker 1: and contract extensions. I know they're not quite exciting, except
Speaker 1: when these really really young, crazy hot prospects signed big money,
Speaker 1: taking out all of their arbitration, taking out their free
Speaker 1: agent years. And the realization that Michael Harris who signed
Speaker 1: congratulations to him an eight year, seventy two million dollar deal.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna throw this at you, he will not
Speaker 1: be a free agent until he's thirty two years old. Like,
Speaker 1: think about how young he is, how great he is.
Speaker 1: That's a state of baseball. Sign a contract. It's pretty
Speaker 1: good money football. Derwin James is safety just signed a
Speaker 1: four year, seventy six million dollar okay, eight years, seventy
Speaker 1: two million dollars for Michael Harris. He will not be
Speaker 1: a free agent until thirty two. I still will stand
Speaker 1: that this is bad for baseball, but it's great for
Speaker 1: the Braves.
Speaker 2: Kelly absolutely, I'll be fifty two when his contract ends,
Speaker 2: so let's not put our age.
Speaker 1: You're like, he's like, I'll be oh boy, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know. Even typing it in, I was like,
Speaker 2: thirty two. No, I think it's great for them. The
Speaker 2: fun fact I put in there later is it's just
Speaker 2: kind of insane for what the race.
Speaker 1: Give us a fun fact. Let's just rock it right now,
Speaker 1: because I think it's a it's kind of a wild
Speaker 1: thing to process, and I'll let you do it if
Speaker 1: you want. It's it is a one. This actually looks
Speaker 1: like a dynasty trade. I'm gonna ask to throw this out,
Speaker 1: So think of like a dynasty trade in your mind
Speaker 1: of these players. But go ahead, with that fun fact.
Speaker 2: All right, So Ronald Ducunya Azzi, Elbi's, Austin Riley, and
Speaker 2: Michael Harris have now signed long contracts with the Braves. Combined,
Speaker 2: they are going to earn four hundred and nineteen million dollars.
Speaker 2: Mike Trout signed a contract for four hundred and twenty
Speaker 2: six point five million dollars.
Speaker 1: So that's four years ago this dynasty trade, where it
Speaker 1: had been like do I want all of these young guys,
Speaker 1: especially on the same team, it worked out. Here's another
Speaker 1: one to throw at you. I don't have the exact
Speaker 1: number here, but I just thought of it and think
Speaker 1: of the Rangers who have Cory Seeger and Marcus Simeon
Speaker 1: at like five about half a billion dollars, and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, what would you rather have? You get one Trout,
Speaker 1: you get a secret and me in, or you're getting
Speaker 1: a Kunya Albi's, Riley and Michael Harris. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: The Braids are pretty good at what they do. They
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, don't seem to have any issue buying
Speaker 1: out all these guys arbitration and buying out free agent
Speaker 1: years and having control through really like you know, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty seven is for the most part for most of
Speaker 1: these guys, so they don't really lock up the pictures.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. We were talking about the Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year stuff yesterday and how Spencer Strider is
Speaker 1: a current leader and Michael Harris is the plus money
Speaker 1: right behind him and Strider, you know, good start this week.
Speaker 1: But no contract extension for Strider and Michael Harris, I
Speaker 1: believe came even later in that process. But they love
Speaker 1: their hitters. It seems like they have the inverse Mets
Speaker 1: thing where it's they want to pay the hitters and
Speaker 1: then they are going to go and buy the pictures
Speaker 1: into the future where the Mets used to pay the
Speaker 1: hitters and homegrown the pictures in whatever attempt when it
Speaker 1: was no Cindergarten to grom But do you like this deal?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you like I mean, obviously you like
Speaker 1: it for the Braves, but do you like it for
Speaker 1: Michael Harris? If we wanted to play that card, if
Speaker 1: we wanted to play the player's card.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so long, I mean eight years. I kind
Speaker 2: of I wish I wish it was five. I think
Speaker 2: five would just feel a little bit better for him.
Speaker 2: But I was just thinking about it. None of them
Speaker 2: are represented by Boris, right, I mean.
Speaker 1: No, Michael Harris. Actually, it's funny you say that because
Speaker 1: of a friend of mine, Dennis Sidler, who owns a
Speaker 1: great company called sids Grafs does all these autographs. He
Speaker 1: has an exclusive deal with Michael Harris that he signed,
Speaker 1: and Michael Harris is so all of like when he
Speaker 1: signs bats and stuff, he can only do it through Dennis,
Speaker 1: So sidsgrafs dot Com. There's a nice plug for him.
Speaker 1: And we were actually talking about this, and you know,
Speaker 1: he's got a smaller agent, you know, not he not
Speaker 1: even an agency really, it's like a smaller kind of
Speaker 1: very individual agent that got this done, not Boris, Like
Speaker 1: any of those guys are Boris.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well, I mean because he usually just absolutely
Speaker 2: prevents people from doing the extensions. So for for Harris himself, yeah,
Speaker 2: I I think I think it's good because he's super young,
Speaker 2: but like, yeah, I kind of agree with you in
Speaker 2: terms of it's bad for baseball. And it was like
Speaker 2: the eight years, it's just a really long time to know,
Speaker 2: you guys not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: And we know nothing I'll ever get fixed with baseball.
Speaker 1: I mean, they can't, like, you know, they can't play
Speaker 1: while trying to figure out what's the best thing for
Speaker 1: the game. So they hold out, and then they try
Speaker 1: to come up to other agreements that might help baseball,
Speaker 1: like let's even say the International Draft, and everybody just says, no, U,
Speaker 1: let's get what they want. So why do we ever
Speaker 1: think there'd be any type of cap or your cap
Speaker 1: or anything to contracts. I mean, this is good for player,
Speaker 1: This is good for the teams more than anything else.
Speaker 1: And I suppose you cand always argue it's good to
Speaker 1: see players stay on the same team. It's just I
Speaker 1: don't know. I see eight, ten, twelve year contracts and
Speaker 1: it's just like okay, like it's wild. But to be
Speaker 1: fair in baseball, you know football, Like I mentioned this guy,
Speaker 1: Dorwin James with the Chargers signed a deal four year,
Speaker 1: seventy six million dollars. I think today, you know, he
Speaker 1: will get his second contracts still in his twenties. But
Speaker 1: baseball's life span is so much bigger. So even though
Speaker 1: Michael Harris will be thirty two, as long as he
Speaker 1: doesn't pull like a Jacob Hayward or anything like that,
Speaker 1: that at thirty two, you can still sign a massive
Speaker 1: another second deal and that would be the big, big
Speaker 1: money day. They don't all get like one. So so
Speaker 1: Michael Harris is huge year is going to pay off
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens with the rookie. Speaking of
Speaker 1: the Mike Trout comp here, Mike Trout could return to
Speaker 1: the lineup this week and if not, it could be
Speaker 1: probably early next week. But either way, Kelly, we are
Speaker 1: getting Mike Trout back very soon. Are your expectations anything?
Speaker 2: No, I have no expectations for him at this point.
Speaker 2: I feel like they're going to try to keep him healthy,
Speaker 2: which means we're going to just see so much more
Speaker 2: of him Dhan or just doing less of what he
Speaker 2: thinks her.
Speaker 1: In weekly leagues to that point right there. I mean,
Speaker 1: you always have the advantage of being able to just
Speaker 1: throw guys out at DH, except you have Shohio Tani.
Speaker 1: So it's just like the Angels have with us as
Speaker 1: fantasy owners. When you draft Oughtani and have the two
Speaker 1: way player, your utility is pretty much locked up. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna go and be able to have a lot
Speaker 1: of flexibility. Do you think because of Tani is gonna
Speaker 1: be locked in at DH? And how the season is
Speaker 1: going and Trout's current health that there could be a
Speaker 1: tiny bit of danger in weekly leagues. I don't know
Speaker 1: if there's a there's a way that we could ever
Speaker 1: justify not starting him in really any capacity, but weekly
Speaker 1: leagues could get messy. If he plays two days, sits one,
Speaker 1: then there's an off day and they're trying to give
Speaker 1: him two straight days and all of a sudden, you
Speaker 1: know you're getting maybe three games out of him in
Speaker 1: a given week when you could get six from a
Speaker 1: Von Grissom.
Speaker 2: You know something like that, right, right, Yeah, especially like
Speaker 2: the counting categories is you just can't. Yeah, when he's
Speaker 2: in he could be fantastic, but we also don't know
Speaker 2: what that's going to look like with the back injury.
Speaker 2: You know, does it does he swing less hard? I
Speaker 2: have no idea. I just could cup on everything.
Speaker 1: It's actually gonna be really important, to be really important
Speaker 1: to watch Mike trot. I think it's gonna tell a
Speaker 1: big story about what we might be in for. It's
Speaker 1: gonna tell everything for next year because when the season's done,
Speaker 1: Trout rests, you know, we come back, but I really
Speaker 1: want to see, like, how does he perform. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't really care how the Angels treat him, but
Speaker 1: is how is all of this going to Readjust are
Speaker 1: we really going to be on the down side of
Speaker 1: this or we're going to look back on this, which
Speaker 1: I think is most likely situation. We're gonna look back
Speaker 1: on all this stuff and we're gonna be like, Ah,
Speaker 1: wasn't that funny when we like doubted Mike Trout and
Speaker 1: we can just still never doubt him. But the back
Speaker 1: issue is no good. The other headlining piece, though, I
Speaker 1: do think it's funny. I think it was like John
Speaker 1: Hayman and a couple of people were like Yankees top prospect.
Speaker 1: Estevon listen, Estevan Floriol has had all the opportunities in
Speaker 1: the world. He ain't a top prospect anymore, so don't
Speaker 1: get it twisted. Estevon Floriel puts up video game type
Speaker 1: of numbers in the minors and completely disappears. This is
Speaker 1: an Atari versus a PS five type of thing. He
Speaker 1: is PS five and Triple A, and he is Atari
Speaker 1: when he gets to the majors. He doesn't steal those
Speaker 1: thirty two bases that he has in the mind. He
Speaker 1: doesn't hit those fourteen homers. He has a career two
Speaker 1: h six average in the Major though it's been short stent.
Speaker 1: I've seen him so much live in the minors from
Speaker 1: a couple of different AFL stands. He has got all
Speaker 1: the intangibles except a consistent hit tool. It's actually very
Speaker 1: reminiscent of Jared Kalnick with just actually higher speed potential.
Speaker 1: But he's getting called up, and I think we're in
Speaker 1: a real big kind of prospect, you know, influx right
Speaker 1: now where it's like, hey, Shane Lngliers even came up
Speaker 1: and he's rocking and Von Grissom and all that. But
Speaker 1: it's like Floriel to me is not that guy, very
Speaker 1: true quad a player. But I know he's gonna get
Speaker 1: He's gonna get some ramp up. He's gonna get some
Speaker 1: ramp up by a lot of people. Do you have
Speaker 1: any interest in Floria because he has a power speed
Speaker 1: combo guy, No doubt.
Speaker 2: I don't at this point with him because because exactly
Speaker 2: that when he gets called up, it just goes away.
Speaker 2: The only thing I like, you know again is the
Speaker 2: Yankees in that ballpark, in with that lineup. If he
Speaker 2: does get on, he could boost like runs and whatnot.
Speaker 2: But I just don't trust it. I don't trust Kalenik.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're just guys that I can't put on
Speaker 2: my team at all.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean there's big strikeout numbers, but you know,
Speaker 1: to be fair, he had. What he has changed is
Speaker 1: really got back on the bass. Pats last year played
Speaker 1: seventy eight games in Triple A and only stole thirteen bases,
Speaker 1: and he stole none in Double A for a little
Speaker 1: tiny stent. Average was crap last year. This year in
Speaker 1: Triple A, he's hitting right around to eighty, stole thirty.
Speaker 1: Power numbers seemed to be in line, but strikeout numbers
Speaker 1: also seemed to be relatively in line. So as where
Speaker 1: I said, like, I would go and speculate on Shane
Speaker 1: Langelier's early on which I think is look good. It
Speaker 1: looked good, great, you know, power hit double. I think
Speaker 1: in his first hit. Florida is not a guy that
Speaker 1: I'm looking to speculate on. There's other guys and actually
Speaker 1: we'll talk about one in just a minute. Some injuries,
Speaker 1: Jorge Blanco out of the lineup against the Royals today,
Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber out of the lineup that was fun call him.
Speaker 1: He was out out Tuesday, out Wednesday. Led Me's dias
Speaker 1: could be placed on the IL the ten day, according
Speaker 1: to Dusty Baker, and Clay Holmes need a fifteen day
Speaker 1: il stent due to a backage. You may need a
Speaker 1: season long il stent due to everything. Well, remember when
Speaker 1: he was good, Remember that point in the season where
Speaker 1: we were like, Clay Holmes should save games over a
Speaker 1: role as Chapman. And here we are now, Kelly.
Speaker 2: I literally dropped him for Matt Bush in the league.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was ugly, but I was like, I gotta
Speaker 2: get him out of here.
Speaker 1: Hearing that it was a little rough, that's all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta do what you gotta do. So if you
Speaker 1: are looking for prospect to pick up, because that is
Speaker 1: the fun, that is the trend. There are guys we've
Speaker 1: talked about. Obviously, Corman Carroll is someone. Corban Carroll and
Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson are the two biggest impactful players that are
Speaker 1: floating around. We just don't know what the teams are
Speaker 1: going to do with them. Another guy that, though I
Speaker 1: do not believe he has enough games under his belt,
Speaker 1: is absolutely terrorizing baseballs. And it's I talked about a
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago because I was at his season debut
Speaker 1: Josh Young. Josh Young is someone that you guys need
Speaker 1: to pay a little bit more extra attention to if
Speaker 1: you haven't, because he played a couple games in Complex,
Speaker 1: moved up to Triple A, and he is destroying. He's
Speaker 1: destroying at a level where it's a disservice for them
Speaker 1: unless it's manipulation to just continuously keep him down there.
Speaker 1: At this point, let the Rangers use it up in
Speaker 1: the majors. Josh Young hitting three twenty on the season
Speaker 1: with a four hundred OVP and an eight hundred slug
Speaker 1: in that good old three four to eight slash that
Speaker 1: everybody knows about. Seven homers with a stolen base in
Speaker 1: seventeen games or no, I think it's nine game nine
Speaker 1: ten games, but either way, ten of his seventeen hits
Speaker 1: this season have been extra base variety. He had six
Speaker 1: games so far in Triple A. He's hitting four hundred.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna come up this week, but
Speaker 1: I think this is the preemptive move to get your guy,
Speaker 1: get your prospect. The contact ability has really adjusted. He
Speaker 1: looks so much better than he did when I saw
Speaker 1: him here in complex. He's getting the ball up even more.
Speaker 1: The power is going through the roof. He makes immense
Speaker 1: contact and he looks he looks like he d even
Speaker 1: some weight, very athletic. How willing are you to be
Speaker 1: speculative on a guy like Josh Young that you would
Speaker 1: have to eat days?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I wouldn't have any trouble doing that, depending
Speaker 2: on how deep the league is and where I'm at,
Speaker 2: if I have the space to kind of hide him
Speaker 2: on my bench. I drafted Johnathan India all over the place,
Speaker 2: so I that bench is a little busy right now,
Speaker 2: but I would could totally take him at any time.
Speaker 1: So in let's say a twelve team, you could use
Speaker 1: some bat help. But that also means you could use
Speaker 1: some bat help and you could use it now, would
Speaker 1: be willing to drop You know, I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of like a speculative bat bench guy that comes off
Speaker 1: the top of my head. But like, let's say you
Speaker 1: know you got a relatively shorter bench. Is he the
Speaker 1: type of guy that you would want to have on
Speaker 1: the back because he's going to hit for high contact.
Speaker 1: Are you going to sacrifice a bench spot to maybe
Speaker 1: let's say eat a week a week and a half.
Speaker 1: Would you do that for Young or is it just
Speaker 1: is it just not advantageous because you might you're in
Speaker 1: a potential like playoff ish run.
Speaker 2: Yeah, depending again, I would do it if the rest
Speaker 2: of even in one of my leagues, I think we
Speaker 2: have three bench spots, I would have no trouble dropping
Speaker 2: any of the guys I currently have been there for him,
Speaker 2: So I'll wait on him.
Speaker 1: Get some Josh Young before you know, pops up. They
Speaker 1: obviously he needs the at bats. I do think he's
Speaker 1: a potential guy for the Arizona Fall League, so they're
Speaker 1: not going to want to exhaust prospect eligibility, but just
Speaker 1: keep an eye out for it. He makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. Get him some at bats of the Majors,
Speaker 1: throw him over to the Arizona Fall League for more
Speaker 1: bats since he's missed so much time this year. But
Speaker 1: Josh Young definitely one of the big names as we
Speaker 1: continue to speculate and try to find the next big
Speaker 1: guy that's going to get a call up, because we're
Speaker 1: all having fun with that. This day in Baseball nineteen ninety,
Speaker 1: in Chicago's four two win over Texas, Carlton Fisk Homer's
Speaker 1: offer Charlie Hugh to become the all time home run
Speaker 1: leader with one hundred and eighty seven in White Sox
Speaker 1: history and the all time leader in home runs by
Speaker 1: a catcher at three twenty eight. And when you know it,
Speaker 1: we got more catcher questions here, Kelly, I don't think
Speaker 1: you saw the answer to this because I quickly deleted
Speaker 1: as it posted it. But I have a trivia question
Speaker 1: for you. Francisco Alvarez, speaking of top prospects with the
Speaker 1: New York Mets, is just the third catcher to be
Speaker 1: MLB dot COM's number one overall prospect? Can you name
Speaker 1: the other two? Can everybody name?
Speaker 2: Do you want me to take a guess?
Speaker 1: You're a good guest, so, I mean chat can start
Speaker 1: getting in here. I think Kelly might be able to
Speaker 1: give this, But there were three number one overalls. One's
Speaker 1: gonna probably be pretty easy here, the other one maybe
Speaker 1: not so much. If you think about who would the
Speaker 1: other two number one overall MLB pipeline catching prospects. Number
Speaker 1: one overall?
Speaker 2: Matt Wieters was the only one I could think of,
Speaker 2: But I don't know if that's right.
Speaker 1: That is incorrect?
Speaker 2: All right, I'm off the show.
Speaker 1: Yes, Piazza, and it's a good guest. These are good
Speaker 1: guests in here. I think there's one very very easy one.
Speaker 1: The other one when you know, when you know it,
Speaker 1: you'll be like, oh duh. But I don't think think
Speaker 1: of it as I'm gonna be honest with Waiters. Would
Speaker 1: have been one of the first I would have said,
Speaker 1: one of the absolute first. I would have said here,
Speaker 1: so I don't blame you here. Andrew absolutely nailed it.
Speaker 1: Joe Mauer and Adlei Ruchmand go Cards actually got Retchman first.
Speaker 1: Ali Richman and Joe Mauer were the top Rudmand was
Speaker 1: or Adli Ruschman was their mid season twenty twenty one
Speaker 1: top overall prospects similar to what Alvarez has right now,
Speaker 1: and Joe Joe Mauer was the preseason two thousand and
Speaker 1: four number one overall prospect at catcher. Good guesses, though
Speaker 1: you got like you know, Posey in there and stuff,
Speaker 1: so only so many you could do. But we're looming
Speaker 1: into Oh, you know what, here's a great question. Who
Speaker 1: would you rather speculate on right now? Josh Young or
Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez in redraft?
Speaker 2: Oh, in redraft in Redraft. I'd rather have Young, but
Speaker 2: like in the Dynasty, I might I might store Alvarez first.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean pitting your catching situation. What makes that tough?
Speaker 1: Like what if you had like an Adlee already? You
Speaker 1: know you would be resigned. I suppose you would be
Speaker 1: resigned to utility if you were to bring up Alvarez.
Speaker 1: But Alvarez as bad as what's going to get him
Speaker 1: in here? And he would DH when he comes up,
Speaker 1: So I kind of agree. I think I would go Young,
Speaker 1: but Alvarez might beat him there. So if anybody is looking,
Speaker 1: those are probably your two biggest guys. Some stat heroes
Speaker 1: from me yesterday Rehys Hoskins three for six, two homers,
Speaker 1: five RBI with a stolen base. That's a combo meal
Speaker 1: and I picked the wrong Philly. Ugh picked the wrong Philly.
Speaker 1: Nick Fortes also had two homers, going three for four.
Speaker 1: Nick Castillanos had a bomb getting on the offensive side,
Speaker 1: Garrett Stubbs with a homer, Julio Rodriguez three for five
Speaker 1: with a home run, Kerry Carpenter with the bomb, Matt
Speaker 1: Olson with a bomb, and Nico Horner. Are you with me?
Speaker 1: Kelly on Carrie Carpenter's little run that's going on here,
Speaker 1: this power output. I feel like every day or every
Speaker 1: other day since his call up, we have said his
Speaker 1: name on this show that he is just putting up stats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I am totally with you. After yesterday, I
Speaker 2: picked him up because he was still available like Oliver everywhere. Well.
Speaker 1: No, it was a friend of mient Joe Rocca, who
Speaker 1: has a couple great shows. You should go check him
Speaker 1: out on Twitter. Had was nice enough to give me
Speaker 1: a little bit of love, saying I had never heard
Speaker 1: of Kerry Carpenter before I talked about him, and he
Speaker 1: was a dude that was just really killing it in
Speaker 1: the miners. And as I said yesterday or whatever it
Speaker 1: was two days before that, the only problem was when
Speaker 1: he was like twenty four years old at double A,
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, eh, you know, like let's
Speaker 1: not go nuts about it. But then it's Triple A
Speaker 1: the whole season in he's just consistently been hitting for power,
Speaker 1: hitting over three hundred. Now he's in the majors. In
Speaker 1: a very very short sample size, he's hitting over three
Speaker 1: hundred with two bombs already six hits. Playing some left field,
Speaker 1: he also can be a corner infield type of guy.
Speaker 1: It's a very interesting bat and it's a wild thing
Speaker 1: to think that the Tigers have prioritized him over Spencer Turklesen, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, is hitting sub two hundred in Triple
Speaker 1: A right now.
Speaker 2: It's so depressing for me because I mean I loved
Speaker 2: Spencer Turklesen. If you look at my best ball drafts
Speaker 2: from January, I think I have him in every single one.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so I had never heard of Kerry Carpenter
Speaker 2: until you started talking and grabbed him. I dropped Mitch
Speaker 2: Keller in that lead, by the way, but for him,
Speaker 2: so that's a win no matter what I do, I guess,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I think he's I think he's a good
Speaker 2: pickup right now for sure.
Speaker 1: Well I'd love to see a screenshot of somebody. I mean,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have lined up, but it would just be
Speaker 1: a great thing to just process of seeing, like dropped
Speaker 1: Spencer Torkelsen picked up Kerry Carpenter something we never would
Speaker 1: have imagined. And really, any universe, any of the multiverses,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's many. We're living out the one
Speaker 1: in five fifty million whatever. Doctor Strange, Tony stark versions
Speaker 1: where Kerry Carpenter is overvalued. It's pretty amazing. Charlie Morton
Speaker 1: six and two thirds twelve strikeouts on three hits. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: Nick Pivetta had six strikeouts in seven, Sonny Gray six
Speaker 1: with ten strikeouts only three hits, really good performances. Merle
Speaker 1: Merle Kelly continues to just keep putting up numbers seven
Speaker 1: with seven and yak up on this Jacob Jonas seven
Speaker 1: with seven strikeouts. Do you think Meryll, being on such
Speaker 1: a bad team, needs to be way way more highly
Speaker 1: rated next season when we start to look at ranks.
Speaker 1: He's in that class of like boring pictures. I'd almost
Speaker 1: put him in the same like Adam wainrighty type of
Speaker 1: area where they just make things happen. But there's something
Speaker 1: a little bit different about Meryl. The Dinembacks didn't move him,
Speaker 1: so he's stuck there to get an influx of young guys.
Speaker 1: But do you think Meryl is still crazily underrated?
Speaker 2: I think he's somewhat underrated because again because of the
Speaker 2: team he's on. But yeah, I feel like that consistency
Speaker 2: factor for people who aren't going to just sit and
Speaker 2: try to speculate on who the next big thing will
Speaker 2: be or who aren't dazzled by the Striders with the
Speaker 2: eighty four strikeouts and three innings and all of that.
Speaker 2: He's such a solid addition to pretty much any rotation
Speaker 2: you're trying to build. So he'll be one of those,
Speaker 2: like I'm going to draft the all boring team that's worthy.
Speaker 1: It's it's weird that you become like almost consistently trustworthy
Speaker 1: where he's not one of those guys where you're like
Speaker 1: match up you know, I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 1: about that. It's like, no, you just throw them out.
Speaker 1: He just does it. Emon Gallen have really been a
Speaker 1: good one two punch for my very very loser team
Speaker 1: this year stat zero's and that is my Diamondbacks real
Speaker 1: life team. Maybe not many fantasies. I have some loser
Speaker 1: fantasy teams, but not with Marl Kelly on them, because
Speaker 1: they'd probably be bigger winners that zero's. Gavin lux Oh
Speaker 1: for four four strikeouts, Radley Green Oh for five with
Speaker 1: three strikeouts, Max Munsey with three k's, Colton Wong, Jeff McNeil,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Paine, and Jared Walsh, Matt Chapman all Big three
Speaker 1: k performances for you Yay. On the pitcher side, tj
Speaker 1: zoutch six earned runs, eleven hits given up in four
Speaker 1: Mitch Keller two innings, pitch four earned runs, five hits,
Speaker 1: three walks, ach police sack. He gave up four walk
Speaker 1: three only struck out three. We say goodbye to Mitch Keller,
Speaker 1: but we say hello to the home runs. We do
Speaker 1: not have an updated home run. Border is not giving
Speaker 1: it to Kelly. We have a tight race at the top.
Speaker 1: High Cubby got a fran Mill race bomb that was
Speaker 1: also your call you got. We had some. Everybody with
Speaker 1: me had insaying calls yesterday. All of them were hit.
Speaker 1: You and Bubba both had fran Mail Acid High Cubby,
Speaker 1: who is in the lead at forty four Homers de
Speaker 1: Blum though had Vladdie, so he's at forty three. So
Speaker 1: we have a one to two punch going. Three others
Speaker 1: are in the forties, Mike Mayor, go Cards and Terry
Speaker 1: with forty one. Mike Mayor had a Derek Derek Hall call,
Speaker 1: which if that was that whole, like no one else
Speaker 1: picks a guy Wonky bonus, that would have been a
Speaker 1: great one. And we've got some thirties that are just
Speaker 1: coming up the rear there. So what type of bonus
Speaker 1: do we have on the Wonky Wednesday Today?
Speaker 2: So I decided we're going to go with the twenty
Speaker 2: seven club. I mean, I know it's a terrible club
Speaker 2: with musicians, but we're gonna give it a shot in baseball.
Speaker 2: So if you call a player whose current age as
Speaker 2: of today is twenty seven or younger, then you'll get
Speaker 2: a bonus point for each home run that he hits.
Speaker 1: Okay, so keep in mind at the end of the
Speaker 1: show when we're going to do our home run calls,
Speaker 1: you got to get those undertwe so there'll be no
Speaker 1: judges and Goldschmid's and those picks will not play. If
Speaker 1: you want bonus points today on Alwonky Wednesday, Friends, the

Speaker 2: Do it.
Speaker 1: Why would you not? Because there's awesome bets to be
Speaker 1: had and I've got some for you here. We've got
Speaker 1: the top total basin strikeout on the Betting Pros cheat
Speaker 1: sheet algorithm, and then we've got the best plus money one.
Speaker 1: So I'm giving you their top but then I'm also
Speaker 1: giving you the top plus money. I'm going to lay
Speaker 1: these out and Kelly, I want to know what your
Speaker 1: favorite is. The top top top, Actually the number one
Speaker 1: bet of any bet was one Soto at Miami total basis,
Speaker 1: which is at one. It's actually a half, so you
Speaker 1: just got to get one total base today, but it's
Speaker 1: juiced up. It's at minus one seventy three, so you'd
Speaker 1: have to really really pay up if you want to
Speaker 1: play it. But boy does that one look really good.
Speaker 1: The bet plus money total base one, I love it
Speaker 1: even more. Paul Goldschmidt versus Colorado. It is plus one seventeen.
Speaker 1: You gotta get two total bases on the strikeouts. These
Speaker 1: were actually the top two strikeout bets of the day
Speaker 1: according to the prop cheat sheet over at bettingpros dot com.
Speaker 1: Jake Oodoreizzi versus the Mets was the number one. You
Speaker 1: only need four strikeouts. It's minus one thirty. It's actually
Speaker 1: not horrible. Juice there. The top plus money ross stripling
Speaker 1: versus Baltimore. You also only need four because it's at
Speaker 1: three and a half and you're getting plus money at
Speaker 1: one fifteen. So Sodo Goldschmid total bases. Odorizi's strippling strikeouts. Kelly,
Speaker 1: what's your favorite and if you even like more than one,
Speaker 1: knock it out.
Speaker 2: Well, the one I broke down was Ross Stripling, I
Speaker 2: kind of. I just like it because of the plus money.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't touch Odo Izzy for anything. I don't think it.
Speaker 2: Could probably put it at point five, and I know
Speaker 2: he would get it, and I still wouldn't put money
Speaker 2: down for him just.
Speaker 1: Due to one strikeout. You're like, Nope, you're not gonna
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: Nope, that's the day. He'll give up nine singles and
Speaker 2: then leave. Yeah, and I think one Soto because they're
Speaker 2: facing Lopez, I believe, and so the righty, the righty lefty.
Speaker 2: I would have no problem with him getting a single.
Speaker 2: I think that's very possible. So I also wrote down,
Speaker 2: also wrote down Derek Hall is also at zero point five,
Speaker 2: and I know he's facing a lefty, but that lefty
Speaker 2: is Nicolo Dolo, So I think there's you know again,
Speaker 2: it's that single and he's been hitting pretty well lately.
Speaker 1: So those halves are really great. I mean, if I
Speaker 1: Fiver was like really dying to play those just halves
Speaker 1: where I need one total base, I'm probably gonna look
Speaker 1: at parlaying. Just give me two. I don't like to
Speaker 1: do big, crazy parlays, but give me two. I tell you.
Speaker 1: Maybe Derek hall And and Soto are a parlay. I
Speaker 1: like the Goldie. I like gold Get Goldie in there
Speaker 1: at plus money with Soto, have a little bit of fun.
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna get close to two fifty or something
Speaker 1: like that on the money if you want to play it.
Speaker 1: And I don't know even screw around with these two
Speaker 1: here with the strikeouts. I mean, I'm not gonna do
Speaker 1: their art easy. I agree with you the ross strippling side,
Speaker 1: but maybe you can find another one. We can do that.
Speaker 1: And yes this was asked about again. I swear to
Speaker 1: you I she hit it. My daughter hid the Princess
Speaker 1: Tiara somewhere. But we'll get it. We'll get it at
Speaker 1: some point. You know what I need is I need
Speaker 1: to be like reminded. I need like an out of
Speaker 1: show reminder when my kid gets off of school, to
Speaker 1: be like, where did you hide. It's a great mystery
Speaker 1: of leading off for this year is what happened to
Speaker 1: the Tiara. It was stolen and it has not returned.
Speaker 1: If you're looking for some DFS stuff, if you want
Speaker 1: to take a look at some starting pitchers, I thought
Speaker 1: these were There's a couple of really good money plays
Speaker 1: you can have in here, and then there's some big
Speaker 1: dogs over on Fandal Draftking numbers are not all quite
Speaker 1: out there, but Jordan Montgomery, I guess I just kind
Speaker 1: of been echoing this a lot of Kintana and Montgomery
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals. I just also think it's a good matchup.
Speaker 1: Jordan Montgomery eight seven on Fandel Tyler Molly nine to five,
Speaker 1: and then the big dogs Carlos were done. I gets
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks ten to seven and Max Schuerser eleven and
Speaker 1: a half. I also took a look at the run totals,
Speaker 1: and you've got three teams with five implied runs or more, Seattle,
Speaker 1: Texas and the Dodgers. So maybe you want to take
Speaker 1: a look at those for some stacks. You can get
Speaker 1: some of the cheap players in there if you wanting
Speaker 1: to put those together. And that takes us to our
Speaker 1: home run calls of the night. The Wonky bonus is
Speaker 1: twenty seven or younger, and you get an extra point
Speaker 1: for every home run hit. So, Kelly, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: I would love it if you would have been like,
Speaker 1: I'm taking fifty year old pool holes on this show.
Speaker 2: I'm taking elverpool holes today, like, you know, screw my bonus. No,
Speaker 2: I'm going with Vinnie Paescantino. And I do not understand
Speaker 2: why anyone is calling him anything other than Italian Breakfast,
Speaker 2: Like I'm seeing all these other little Italian like beef
Speaker 2: and Italian names. Yeah, and I'm like, no, no Italian Breakfast.
Speaker 2: Hang out there, stay there. So yeah, I think he's
Speaker 2: gonna he's facing Molly. But I think if you can
Speaker 2: get a hold of one the Winds Book and a
Speaker 2: blow out a little bit in Minnesota today.
Speaker 1: I like that one too. There was a part of
Speaker 1: me that wanted to even look at like Bobby if
Speaker 1: I was going on the young side. But it's just
Speaker 1: not like the best matchup in the world. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you this, and I'll probably regret this. So my
Speaker 1: brain I when I first did it this morning, I
Speaker 1: kind of had a it's gonna be a guy, a
Speaker 1: young guy if you don't pick them the last week
Speaker 1: bonus where I get the extra points of no one
Speaker 1: else's doing it. So I was gonna throw him out,
Speaker 1: and I was gonna be like, all right, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, and it's Shane Lngliers. That was gonna
Speaker 1: be my guy. But then when I noticed it was
Speaker 1: just they need to be twenty seven or younger, and
Speaker 1: they don't need They're not gonna have to be a
Speaker 1: guy that no one else took. I change it and
Speaker 1: I'm going with Julio Rodriguez. So that means Shane Langliers
Speaker 1: will hit a homer tonight and Julio will go over four.
Speaker 1: That's just that's the law of the land. That's how
Speaker 1: that works. Kelly.
Speaker 2: Yes, yep, you might as well put money down on Lengoliers.
Speaker 1: Yep, you might as well. Yeah, exactly, I'm not Lengoliars. Remember,
Speaker 1: go and check it out. I had to quote to you.
Speaker 1: I think like seven people understood my quote tweet yesterday
Speaker 1: when Langliars got a hit and I did the gif
Speaker 1: of the just horror again. The series was horrific, but
Speaker 1: it was awesome at the time of the did you
Speaker 1: watch the a Lengoliers where you would on the Lnglers.
Speaker 2: No, because I stayed clear of most of Stephen King.
Speaker 2: So as a rule of thumb, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good rule of thumb. I appreciate that. I
Speaker 1: think I got my line. Oh, this is a good line,
Speaker 1: doctor Glenn giving me eight innings, five strikeouts, three hits,
Speaker 1: a walk, zero earned runs. This is an al Contra
Speaker 1: like line I'm getting today from my hosting Kelly. Do
Speaker 1: you do you back this lineup?
Speaker 2: I do, but I think it's because you had a
Speaker 2: really good pitch framer catch.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, you guys don't understand. Kelly's
Speaker 1: over here. She's like two two, and I'm like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't shake off Kelly.
Speaker 2: Just throw it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just throw. When Kelly's in here, I throw
Speaker 1: the pitch. I don't shake off Kelly. What do you
Speaker 1: got going on? What do people need to be checking
Speaker 1: out from you? Over either on the Twitter at the
Speaker 1: Wonky Penguin or Fantasy pros.
Speaker 2: I've really been into doing lots of retweets on just
Speaker 2: insane facts. There was one on franmil Reyes that you
Speaker 2: should just go check it out because it's it's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but otherwise, right now, I think this week is pretty
Speaker 2: light in terms of my having to write because we're
Speaker 2: doing a lot of editing. But I also retreat some
Speaker 2: really really funny, little tiny videos to make your day better.
Speaker 2: So I'm good on all sorts of different options.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for all your entertainment needs. You actually said something
Speaker 1: I was dying to know, and I almost asked when
Speaker 1: you said, like, who was it the picture? You're like,
Speaker 1: you give up nine straight hits or whatever? I would.
Speaker 1: I got me thinking, what's the most singles consecutively that
Speaker 1: a hitter's ever given up? Or straight like straight like
Speaker 1: through straight batters, Like, what's the most hits whatever type
Speaker 1: of hit it is that any picture has given up
Speaker 1: before leaving the game? I have to imagine it's like
Speaker 1: eight or nine? Can someone fine? I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, if someone does re quortterback, I will
Speaker 1: give you love for it. Friends. You can find me
