Speaker 1: interesting one today. Technical issues across the board. Bubba, blink twice.
Speaker 1: If you can hear me, okay you can't?
Speaker 2: About what's up? My friend? This is gonna be a
Speaker 2: fun one. Yeah, between the two of us, it was
Speaker 2: an interesting and get ready for the show moment and
Speaker 2: we're thinking, okay, just hang on for thirty minutes, let's
Speaker 2: do this.
Speaker 1: I mean, hold on to your butts. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: hopefully you guys will be able to hear me and
Speaker 1: everything will be okay. But we'll get into all of it.
Speaker 1: We've got good news, we've got bad news, we've got bets,
Speaker 1: we've got dfs, we've got home run calls. And where
Speaker 1: in the world are Welsh and Corbin Carrol? Of course
Speaker 1: I'll be giving a hint here in just a little bit,
Speaker 1: we can play that guessing game again.
Speaker 2: Bubba.
Speaker 1: So thank you guys for hanging out with us. Let's
Speaker 1: start with the bad. I'm kind of a bad news
Speaker 1: first type of guy, Bubba. I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: are you a.
Speaker 2: I prefer the bad first so we can leave on
Speaker 2: a good note. I'm with you, Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sometimes it's to the person, though, I will point out,
Speaker 1: like sometimes the person I might be like, hmmm, let's
Speaker 1: get the good news from this person because the bad
Speaker 1: is going to be really bad. Unfortunately, I'm that person
Speaker 1: today because Sea McClanahan, as you guys all know, it
Speaker 1: was announcing he's going to undergo Tommy John surgery.
Speaker 2: And is out.
Speaker 1: Exactly what I said, the bad news is going to be.
Speaker 1: I hate it. There's I don't care what anyone says.
Speaker 1: There's something going on with the rays and he is
Speaker 1: out for the entire twenty twenty four season. Ba Rutle.
Speaker 2: It's very bad. And it's one of those things we
Speaker 2: kind of a tongue in cheek joked about on this show.
Speaker 2: I know you did elsewhere and I did elsewhere. It's
Speaker 2: when you need a second opinion and then you need
Speaker 2: a third opinion. It's like we have our idea, but
Speaker 2: we need another opinion. That's never good. Like we knew
Speaker 2: this was coming. And I guess on the bright side,
Speaker 2: they're doing it now instead of waiting till the middle
Speaker 2: of the off season or something, so we'll get him
Speaker 2: back for twenty twenty five. But yeah, it sucks, It
Speaker 2: really really sucks.
Speaker 1: I guess it's stinks. I had my OTTO League. I
Speaker 1: drafted Jeffrey Springs and I drafted Sean McClanahan, so that
Speaker 1: was what I got, and I think I had drasp
Speaker 1: you into. I think I had all three of the
Speaker 1: Rays completely out. Luckily I did trade though for Sandy Ocandra,
Speaker 1: who's been very good. So this stinks. This absolutely stinks.
Speaker 1: In a lot of formats, you know, the Otano format,
Speaker 1: you probably just dump them, you know. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to keep a guy for thirty plus dollars
Speaker 1: for a complete eat of a year and hopefully he's
Speaker 1: good on the back end. But this is his second
Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery as well, so that makes it even
Speaker 1: worse here. And I don't remember, I have to go
Speaker 1: back and look, but the recovery rate, the amount of
Speaker 1: guys that have had multiple Tommy John's, it's usually not
Speaker 1: so great.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's not good. You know. I know Copek
Speaker 2: for one is a double survivor. I guess we could say,
Speaker 2: and there's a few more out there, but it's it's not.
Speaker 2: We already saw of a lossity going down. This Kata
Speaker 2: walk was down this year. Then he has to TJ.
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm really concerned about though, his outlook going forward.
Speaker 1: So I am in a good space here, Bubba, where
Speaker 1: I cannot hear anything. I didn't hear anything of what
Speaker 1: you said, but I know your lips for talking. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna set us up here for the next thing. Hopefully
Speaker 1: you guys can hear me and you can do this.
Speaker 1: I wanted to throw this out here. Corey Seger three
Speaker 1: for five yesterday, two homers, five RBI now hitting three
Speaker 1: fifty but then over one thousand ops. He has a
Speaker 1: one ninety w RC plus, which is besties check this
Speaker 1: out pulled this. Segars MLB ranks currently second in batting
Speaker 1: average third and OBP first, and slugging first and ops
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned, first in WRC plus. I believe
Speaker 1: the only thing lacking are his qualifications, because he hasn't
Speaker 1: quite qualified here. He is having the year of year.
Speaker 1: But I saw somebody say this would be the greatest
Speaker 1: shortstop season ever. Do you buy that this is the
Speaker 1: greatest shortstop season ever? And I'm going down into the
Speaker 1: dungeon to try to fix things here.
Speaker 2: I do not believe it's the best shortstop season ever.
Speaker 2: I think people forget we used to have Cal Ripken,
Speaker 2: we had a Rod tarrying things like MVP A Rod seasons.
Speaker 2: We've had so much success in the short stop position.
Speaker 2: It's tough to say. It's an amazing season. There's no
Speaker 2: doubt about it. What I'd like to see with Corey
Speaker 2: Seeger's play a full season. That'd be fun and then
Speaker 2: we can really see how good he is. But while
Speaker 2: on the field this year, he's putting together and it's
Speaker 2: a remarkable season. It is not the best season.
Speaker 1: Do you think that what Corey Seeker is doing? Because
Speaker 1: at those ranks, by the way, we're minimum of three
Speaker 1: hundred played appearances. Do you think Corey Seeger is a
Speaker 1: top fifteen Fantasy option next year? No?
Speaker 2: Because let's have it. Actually, I brought this up on
Speaker 2: Twitter on Wednesday. Would you take Corey Seger or Bobby
Speaker 2: Wood Jr?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Buddy, But no, I'm saying, like, that's your first rounders conversation.
Speaker 1: Okay, you say that, but then who are the other
Speaker 1: would you rather have? Boba, Schett or Corey.
Speaker 2: Seeger's Now that's where it's a real question. But I'm saying, like,
Speaker 2: first fifteen picks, you got a que and you got Tatis,
Speaker 2: you got you know, Freeman will be there, Sodo might
Speaker 2: still be in the mix. I don't know, Jay Ram
Speaker 2: like there, you could go down this list of players
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be tough to sneak into the fifteen
Speaker 2: for Seger.
Speaker 1: Well, see, I don't know if it's going to be
Speaker 1: that tough to sneak into the fifteen. Okay, so let's
Speaker 1: let's get rid of the best shortstop argument now. I
Speaker 1: mean Redbaron here is saying that he is the best shortstop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one short stop. Okay, but let's get rid of that
Speaker 1: for a minute because it can get a little bit messy.
Speaker 1: Bobby wit Junior, Statistically, I mean, from a fantasy standpoint,
Speaker 1: is the.
Speaker 2: Best about to go thirty forty?
Speaker 1: It's crazy, but I think this is similar to the
Speaker 1: first base conversation we had where it was like Matt
Speaker 1: Olsen now jumped next to Freddy Freeman. I think Matt
Speaker 1: Olsen is probably a top fifteen pick. He goes after Freeman.
Speaker 1: I think Seger is the matt Olsen who Bobby Witt Junior.
Speaker 1: I think Corey Seeger is a guy at the top.
Speaker 1: It's somewhere in the fifteen you're gonna get what pitcher
Speaker 1: are you going to take over Corey Seeger? Right now?
Speaker 2: Well, that's the great question, and it depends if you
Speaker 2: like pitching her. I wouldn't. I'm just waiting on pitching.
Speaker 2: So for me, it's nobody. I guess you can make
Speaker 2: the argument that Otani maybe if you want to talk
Speaker 2: O Tony Pitcher VERSU Hitter, there's your young coal still
Speaker 2: been great. But for me, I wouldn't. But like WALKI says,
Speaker 2: Segre over Vlad Guerrero. These are all valid points. But
Speaker 2: we have fifteen players, and that's my only thing is like,
Speaker 2: I think Sigar's gonna be where Freddy Freeman was this
Speaker 2: last year, an amazing like early second round pick to
Speaker 2: pair with the stud in the first round, and that's
Speaker 2: where Seer comes into play.
Speaker 1: Well, I see, and I say it's funny because as
Speaker 1: soon as you said that I'm like, yeah, I totally
Speaker 1: agree with you, except Freddy Freeman and a lot of
Speaker 1: my leagues went like ten and you know eleven. So
Speaker 1: that's that's where I think. I think he's gonna lie
Speaker 1: between twelve and fifteen, Like I think Freddy Freeman will
Speaker 1: be gone and then you're gonna be looking at a
Speaker 1: guy like so you're the only thing that holds him back.
Speaker 1: Right here is what fred said is the injury of it.
Speaker 1: There's massive injury risk. We have to put qualifications on
Speaker 1: Corey Seeger right now with minimum three hundred bats because
Speaker 1: he doesn't qualify because he misses freaking time, which is crazy.
Speaker 1: But he is having an unworldly season hitting three fifty
Speaker 1: right now, twenty two homers. It's got a legit chance
Speaker 1: to get over that thirty homer mark. And this is
Speaker 1: you know, it was one of the better offenses at
Speaker 1: the front half of the season. Cory Seger is a monster.
Speaker 1: Is really I was getting at here. But what you
Speaker 1: also mentioned was Bobby Witt, So Bobby wit Junior Christer
Speaker 1: Grand Slam on Tuesday, and this is something I pulled.
Speaker 1: Check us out. He now has fifty seven combined homer
Speaker 1: and stolen bases. Now, I'm not gonna count like what's
Speaker 1: his face astu ruy ruiz, I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do Homer Homers Homer stolen based combo. There
Speaker 1: are only two players with a bigger combo that have
Speaker 1: at least like twenty homers. Akunya and show, hey Tommy,
Speaker 1: that's it and check this out. He has the same
Speaker 1: number as Corbyn Carroll, but he has more RBI and
Speaker 1: a better batting average than Corbyn Carroll. Because apparently as
Speaker 1: soon as me, as it's been pointing out in the chat,
Speaker 1: I have ruined Corbyn Carroll. And don't think that I
Speaker 1: hadn't thought about this a week ago that where in
Speaker 1: the world or Welsh and Corban Carroll next up probably
Speaker 1: needs to be a batting cage. I'm well aware of that.
Speaker 1: Where he's actually he's down to two sixty nine the
Speaker 1: Bobby Witt third most more rb Eisen Carroll more stolen bases.
Speaker 1: Might be one of the most underrated fantasy guys right now,
Speaker 1: but this is probably relative to like the back half
Speaker 1: of the first round. I think Bobby Witt Junior Bubba
Speaker 1: might be a top three pick next season. He might
Speaker 1: be the third pick. You could justify Bobby Witt over
Speaker 1: Corbin Carroll right now. Oh yeah, guy z A, Kunya
Speaker 1: and Otani. If you're playing in like transactionally, who goes
Speaker 1: above Bobby wit junr.
Speaker 2: The fun discussion, I would take the Bobby Wit over
Speaker 2: Jay Ram I would go there, But that still will
Speaker 2: be a discussion because he got the third base position.
Speaker 2: I think I think the big discussion will be Bobby
Speaker 2: Witt versus Tatis. That's that is a discussion right now.
Speaker 2: But a full healthy Tatis like this is a forty
Speaker 2: forty dude.
Speaker 1: Also, Okay, to your point, maybe it's a discussion if
Speaker 1: you are if you believe that like this is him
Speaker 1: recouping from miss time, from you know, the worm medication,
Speaker 1: all that type of stuff, like becoming a new player,
Speaker 1: finding that consistency. If you believe it's one of those
Speaker 1: lost this seasons and he bounces back, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: the only problem is is, like then maybe he's as
Speaker 1: good as Bobby wit Junior is right now, like Bobby
Speaker 1: has been failing upwards, batting average has gone up, but
Speaker 1: he has a sub twenty percentage. He's one of the
Speaker 1: sneakiest buys all season long. I've been screaming about it
Speaker 1: and I can't even go on.
Speaker 2: I'm loving all the Bobby Wit talk. Don't get me
Speaker 2: wrong there. I'm absolutely a big fan of it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I literally we're gonna go back to it in
Speaker 1: the second here. I just want to point it this out.
Speaker 1: Maybe you can answer this question for everybody. Christian Javier.
Speaker 1: Christian Javier allowed four runs and four and two thirds
Speaker 1: innings against the Marlins. He didn't get a decision. He
Speaker 1: was pulled in the bottom of the fifth after have
Speaker 1: their throwing error. He now had in this game, he
Speaker 1: generated only nine swinging strikes on nine five pitches with
Speaker 1: a twenty percent csw percentage. The bigger concern and question
Speaker 1: though with Christian Javier, and I saw people posing this
Speaker 1: and I think it's fair, is do we even hold
Speaker 1: on to him? Four four to nine ERA? He is
Speaker 1: a worse expected ERA so far this year. Double digit
Speaker 1: barrel percentage given up his case are the lowest of
Speaker 1: his career. Walks are kind of up there. We've talked
Speaker 1: about how inefficient he is. Should you even hold on
Speaker 1: to Christian Javier rest of the season.
Speaker 2: It's a great question, It's actually a question discussed on
Speaker 2: my bench to Bubba last night. It was a he's
Speaker 2: been so bad, so bad, as you mentioned, I think
Speaker 2: in fifteen teams you hold that's just the reality of
Speaker 2: the world because replacement vile on the waiver wire is
Speaker 2: not good. But in tens and twelves, there's a great
Speaker 2: argument to drop him. Obviously, you want to drop him
Speaker 2: for something that's going to benefit you, but he's been
Speaker 2: so bad it's just it is not worth hanging on
Speaker 2: to you. So I could definitely see dropping a Javier
Speaker 2: and moving on at this point of the season as
Speaker 2: he looks lost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think we've kind of preached it a
Speaker 1: little bit. You're at the point of the year keeper
Speaker 1: leagues devoid here, You at the point of the year
Speaker 1: where it's like you can just have a short term
Speaker 1: memory and just start cutting guys, Like would it be
Speaker 1: a bomber if Christian Xavier like figured it out, you
Speaker 1: cut him and a guy in your league picks him
Speaker 1: up and does well, yeah, sure, but what sign has
Speaker 1: he shown that that's gonna happen? Every expected stat is
Speaker 1: against him right now. The pitches haven't been working. He's
Speaker 1: a primary two pitch pitcher, you know, what better strategy
Speaker 1: might be, Trojan Horse, cut him and let your guys,
Speaker 1: let the other league mates pick him up and screw
Speaker 1: their team if you've got viable options. So I think
Speaker 1: the point is is he's now become viable to cut
Speaker 1: pending the guys you have available in your league, and
Speaker 1: he you know, you might be better off just straight.
Speaker 1: I mean, chase silset would be better to work right
Speaker 1: now with Hobby as he is over Javier.
Speaker 2: Yep, it's funny you mentioned that because we did the
Speaker 2: like top ads last week. Cole Reagan's was Javier. We said, okay, Javier,
Speaker 2: but then we game the Chase silset and that was
Speaker 2: an easy Chase sil set the whole way. So yes,
Speaker 2: see what's out there, especially in ten and twelve team
Speaker 2: leagues on a you know, the who's in fan traxes
Speaker 2: of the world, A lot more pictures that you think
Speaker 2: are widely available.
Speaker 1: This is very, very true. So again, thank you guys
Speaker 1: all for hanging. If you don't even realize if you're listening,
Speaker 1: like my audio is going in and out, I've heard
Speaker 1: everything Bubba has said, So if I'm being weird about it,
Speaker 1: I was also going to make by the way, Wednesdays.
Speaker 1: I was gonna make it like a chat day, a
Speaker 1: very chat day, but all the chaos is going to
Speaker 1: so think about this. For next week, We're going to
Speaker 1: have a very like I don't remember what name I
Speaker 1: had for it, but we're a centric Yeah, like a
Speaker 1: very chat centric Wednesday, like answering questions and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: But literally, the technical stuff before had me reeling. So
Speaker 1: if I'm being weird, extra weird than I am, that's
Speaker 1: why I'm being weird. The other news piece, by the way,
Speaker 1: Hunter Green allowed one hit, struck out nine over five
Speaker 1: and two thirds in a rehab starting triple A he
Speaker 1: got He got up to one hundred, which is nice
Speaker 1: sitting ninety seven to one hundred and eighty three pitches.
Speaker 1: Looks very likely that his next start is going to
Speaker 1: be in the major leagues and he will be back. Also,
Speaker 1: Nick Liddolo is rehabbing, So for any of you guys
Speaker 1: that god, if lidl can just pull together a couple
Speaker 1: of good starts to end the year, I think it'll
Speaker 1: be so good going into next year. I don't think
Speaker 1: it'll raise his value too much. And if both get
Speaker 1: back those signs of life, it would be pretty big
Speaker 1: for your playoff run, you know. Interesting left Positive just said,
Speaker 1: can I drop Severino? I would drop Seprino for everybody
Speaker 1: we've talked about Silseth. I would drop Hunter Green, Lodola
Speaker 1: if they're sitting out there, easy.
Speaker 2: Easy, easy. I'd rather have Christianavier than.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So be on the lookout for Hunter Green.
Speaker 1: Rookie lookie, a couple of things here rookie pitchers, we're
Speaker 1: at it again. Bobby Miller he went six, gave up
Speaker 1: one and run, struck out four, retired eighteen straight at
Speaker 1: one point, Logan Allen went six, struck out seven, no
Speaker 1: earned runs. I was going to kind of press like,
Speaker 1: is there something in there with the rookie pitch? Like
Speaker 1: we did this on Rates and Barrels this week, where
Speaker 1: we were talking about the workload management that was going
Speaker 1: on and dealing with workload management. Do you think with
Speaker 1: how good rookie pitchers have been this year, you are
Speaker 1: going to just not focus in there all right? This
Speaker 1: guy's got a limited amount of innings. Like that was
Speaker 1: kind of with Mason Miller. We are seeing it with
Speaker 1: Yuri Perez. Do you think how good these pictures are
Speaker 1: assuming that this continues and baseball is maturing these players
Speaker 1: at this rate that you're gonna say, you know what,
Speaker 1: I just don't even care about what these workloads are
Speaker 1: or how they're going to stop these players. I'm picking
Speaker 1: up these players like they are ranked A or B.
Speaker 1: Do you know you understand how I'm saying that? Like,
Speaker 1: are you just going to go all in on these
Speaker 1: rookie pictures as they come.
Speaker 2: On draft day? I'm not so sure. But on the
Speaker 2: waiver wires, I'll be much more aggressive. Let's put it
Speaker 2: that way. Like I was all in on Biby and
Speaker 2: some others because they were they were more stretched out.
Speaker 2: We need to get one hundred and thirty hundred and
Speaker 2: forty innings here and there, but I had question marks
Speaker 2: on others. I've been right, I've been wrong. We've all
Speaker 2: been right wrong on these young pictures. That's the fun
Speaker 2: of it. But to your real question, there is yes,
Speaker 2: I am down to not be as concerned with the
Speaker 2: innings as I was before.
Speaker 1: Everything you said was super super smart.
Speaker 2: I got none of it.
Speaker 1: By bay that look on your face. This is actually
Speaker 1: a fun game for me. I think everything you said
Speaker 1: was probably the smartest thing ever. I didn't hear a
Speaker 1: word of it.
Speaker 2: The best part is they can hear both of us,
Speaker 2: apparently because no one said a word. Yep.
Speaker 1: See, he can be saying awful things about me right now.
Speaker 1: I'd have no idea, so I can't hear a single word.
Speaker 1: Other rookie, Look as I'm gonna plow through these and
Speaker 1: then we'll go to injuries. Get your takes here, Emerson
Speaker 1: Hancock struggled no decision on Tuesday, gave up five nine hits.
Speaker 1: No bueno, this is a crazy one. If you got
Speaker 1: any takes on this, I'll be very excited to hear
Speaker 1: you at some point what you had to say about it.
Speaker 1: But the Rays, looh, the Rays. They sent shortstop Carson Williams,
Speaker 1: who is a high a guy, all the way up
Speaker 1: to triple A. They just skipped, just said screw it,
Speaker 1: we're skipping double A. Sent him all the way up
Speaker 1: to triple as a twenty year old. He's hitting around
Speaker 1: two sixty, big counting stats. I actually have been kind
Speaker 1: of pinged about him the last couple of days. My
Speaker 1: problem is people are like, well, you sure know, And
Speaker 1: the problem is is because he strikes out a lot.
Speaker 1: It's like a thirty percent strikeout guy. But the Rays
Speaker 1: in ooh, all their stuff just moved them all up.
Speaker 1: So any thoughts on Carson Williams for them to hear, not.
Speaker 2: Me, I would say it basically says more about the
Speaker 2: potential situation in Tampa Bay than anything. It's going to
Speaker 2: be a I think it's just adding depth to Triple A.
Speaker 2: It's allowing the Race to do what they need to
Speaker 2: do in the bigs to take care of things, and
Speaker 2: I think Carson Williams is more of a next season
Speaker 2: issue than this season.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at sorry, I was looking at the Oh,
Speaker 1: I think I got back, Bubba.
Speaker 2: Here we go. What's up, Son, You're back?
Speaker 1: Well, a bit of a delay, I'm back. I was
Speaker 1: looking at the chat and everyone was like, Uh, this
Speaker 1: is mean what you're saying.
Speaker 2: Oh, they're having they're having fun with this now.
Speaker 1: Yeah this I'm having a great time not being able
Speaker 1: to hear. I can hear now, but it's just going
Speaker 1: in and out, So we we'd keep going. We Injuries.
Speaker 1: Ozzie Albi's on the il hamstring injury. Von Grissom is
Speaker 1: coming up with the Bats. Boba Shitt started to rehab
Speaker 1: assignment on Tuesday, could return this week and Josel Tuova
Speaker 1: was diagnosed, so they left me contusion and considered day
Speaker 1: to day. I was talking about him on ITL. What
Speaker 1: a low key, good, projected out season he's having. That's
Speaker 1: one of those guys if you're in a smaller window. God,
Speaker 1: I would have loved to trade for him in Dynasty.
Speaker 1: I know he's trading for like a thirty three year
Speaker 1: old is ridiculous, but trading for him in a short
Speaker 1: term window. He I mean, he's projected out to be
Speaker 1: like almost a thirty thirty guy.
Speaker 2: Bubba, Yeah, No, he's having a beastly season. Everyone keeps
Speaker 2: going between injuries and age, like what's going on. But
Speaker 2: he's putting it together this year in a big way.
Speaker 2: And he was a heck of a value on draft Day.
Speaker 1: He said, yes, Bubba Welsh did get taller. You guys
Speaker 1: are dirt bags. This is what I That's all I
Speaker 1: love about this show. My type of dirt bags. I'm
Speaker 1: just so happy I can hear right now, So we'll
Speaker 1: keep going. Logan o'happy moving to Triple A for a rehab.
Speaker 1: Should be returning, So go and fire up those shares.
Speaker 1: If you're looking for some catcher Action Tanner, howck gonna
Speaker 1: be activated and started Monday, I think versus Houston. This
Speaker 1: is a very cool story. I just wanted to mention
Speaker 1: this real quick. I don't know if you saw this
Speaker 1: at all. Mookie pets shared it if we had a
Speaker 1: better The only thing is about stream yard is you
Speaker 1: can like add tweets and stuff, but it would screw
Speaker 1: up like the background and Bubba and I would look
Speaker 1: all weird because I would add what he said. But essentially,
Speaker 1: and this is the question I wanted to bring to everybody.
Speaker 1: He had a fan who said, MOOKI, if you hit
Speaker 1: a homer, I will name my kid Mookie and he
Speaker 1: was Mookie's like, don't do that, and he's like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. And Mookie proceeded to hit a homer.
Speaker 1: The fan followed through and tweeted the birth certificate and
Speaker 1: Mooki was like, that's my girl. Now that's my girl
Speaker 1: because it was I don't remember the name something, MOOKI something,
Speaker 1: And it was a cool idea. So this is what
Speaker 1: came to my mind, Bubba, what player would you name
Speaker 1: your kid after? You could pick only one player, like,
Speaker 1: and what would it be? Would it be a first name,
Speaker 1: or middle name like they did. If you could pick
Speaker 1: only one player, same thing for the chat I want
Speaker 1: to hear.
Speaker 2: It would probably be middle name. And for anybody that
Speaker 2: knows me my favorite players Will Clark, So Clark would
Speaker 2: be the one. If you a Clark name didn't work,
Speaker 2: I had a daughter. Made life a little difficult in
Speaker 2: that argument. I tried. Didn't last long.
Speaker 1: But yeah, probably Will Clark real nice. Clark is real nice.
Speaker 1: That's okay, yeah, Will, So it would be would you
Speaker 1: go full Will Clark? You could be like Cynthia Will.
Speaker 2: Clark, it'd probably be Clark. Probably the easiest way to
Speaker 2: go about it. I like the Fuco Dome one. That's
Speaker 2: a great comment. There have you a fun one.
Speaker 1: Let's see Tony Gwen. I have a couple of friends.
Speaker 1: Dennis Sidler actually from sids Grass. He named his son Ryan,
Speaker 1: you know r Y in like Ryan Samberg, So that
Speaker 1: was in there. Griffy would be a Griffy would be
Speaker 1: a good name, actually, like a good first name.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it'd be a really good one, and especially
Speaker 2: the nickname of the kid. It works.
Speaker 1: Oh Griffy Welsh.
Speaker 2: Oh my son's gonna well, you better get back at it. Welsh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. My problem is my favorite player
Speaker 1: growing up was Vladimir Guerrero, So I don't know if
Speaker 1: Vladimir Welsh would how well that would work or I
Speaker 1: guess it could be whatever first name. My son's name
Speaker 1: is Parker, so Parker Vladimir Welsh would be kind of.
Speaker 2: Buy some stock in some some good vodka at that rate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe some show Hayes show. Hey, I think that
Speaker 1: would be a great name. So the first name, Coco
Speaker 1: is a good one. I like nicknames. I think nicknames
Speaker 1: would be good in there. I think Griffy would be
Speaker 1: a great one, so keep putting those out there. Nico. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna name a roll this. So I think
Speaker 1: there's a few names that are off the table right now, xactly.
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple that are off the table.
Speaker 1: But I thought that was cool and continues to show
Speaker 1: you Mookie Bets is like the coolest dude out there,
Speaker 1: and uh oh yeah, Corbyn, Yeah we could. I mean again,
Speaker 1: we need to hit a little bit. Well, we're going
Speaker 1: to go on our travel. Speaking of Corbyn, Carrol, here's
Speaker 1: your hint for coming up here very shortly. Where in
Speaker 1: the world are Welsh and Corbyn. Carrol, your hint for
Speaker 1: today is barrel Beryl, Like Corbyn, barrel barrel is your
Speaker 1: hint if you can think about it, world are Welsh
Speaker 1: and Corbyn Carol hint barrel strawberry. That would be a
Speaker 1: good little weird one. Dude, Michael, I knew someone was
Speaker 1: going to do this one I knew earlier. Oh uh, oh,
Speaker 1: all right, we got some good guesses in here. The
Speaker 1: three up and three down tasker Hernandez five for five,
Speaker 1: one homer, three RBI, a triple short of the cycle.
Speaker 1: Great performance. Jordan Montgomery, he went six, gave up one run,
Speaker 1: struck out nine. Weis Elder went seven, giving up only
Speaker 1: one hit and three ks. Those were your up, You're down.
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty gave up three earned runs, walk four in
Speaker 1: just three kind of back to that mess. Justin Lawrence
Speaker 1: came in for two thirds of an inning and gave
Speaker 1: a five earned run. So there you will. Speculative closer
Speaker 1: market and Kyle Schwarper went over four with three k's.
Speaker 1: Now over his last twelve bats over twelve with six k's.
Speaker 1: It's fifty k rate. It's no point up. He will
Speaker 1: finish that list of the thirty plus homer guys hitting
Speaker 1: sub two hundred. That ain't changing that what is going
Speaker 1: to be changing. There's my transition here to try to
Speaker 1: find it is not you with price pick unless you're
Speaker 1: gonna be signing up today. That can change. Use the
Speaker 1: promo code leading off. You don't have to wait just
Speaker 1: because the season is coming to an end. Sign up
Speaker 1: with Price Picks. Lots of different sports, but you compare
Speaker 1: these bad boys together, you compare multi sports. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's something we've talked about all year. You
Speaker 1: can take all the sports that they offer and you
Speaker 1: can build your price picks as well. Do it today,
Speaker 1: use a promo code leading off. Sports Boys, Bubba, what's
Speaker 1: on the prize picks for you today?
Speaker 2: Miner check out the tacos yesterday had Taco Tuesday. Matt
Speaker 2: Elson over half of a total base. It's easing money.
Speaker 2: But for myself on Wednesday, all Fantasy points here. Corey
Speaker 2: Seeger aforementioned Corey Seger over seven and a half points
Speaker 2: against redet Meers. Matt Olsoen over eight and a half
Speaker 2: points in his matchup versus the Bullpen of New York
Speaker 2: and Jay rod Hulio Rodriguez on fire over eight points
Speaker 2: in that matchup fors Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Very nice. I am gonna go with Aaron Savale, one
Speaker 1: pitcher that has not broken down for the Rays yet.
Speaker 1: They do seem to just magic. They grow them, they
Speaker 1: grow them in a lab. Maybe that's the problem. They're
Speaker 1: not real. They're not real boys like these fake pitchers
Speaker 1: that break down. Savali Fantasy score twenty eight and a half.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with that, Reese Olsen and the aforementioned
Speaker 1: Kinta Mayeta no run first, any little Nerfy action, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Luis Robert Fantasy score seven and
Speaker 1: a half. Those are my price picks. So Savali score, Reese, Kintamata,
Speaker 1: Nerfy Ruise Robert seven and a half. Bubba's got Corey Seger,
Speaker 1: Olten and Rodriguez. Reminder again in the chat put down
Speaker 1: who you think where Welch and Corman Carroll are. Everybody
Speaker 1: that gets it right will be tallied and we'll be
Speaker 1: giving an autograph card at the end of the year
Speaker 1: for all the proper guesses. Bubba on the bets, what
Speaker 1: are you betting today?
Speaker 2: Sticking in the first five World Oakland first five plus
Speaker 2: one thirty five. It should be more of a pick
Speaker 2: them with librator against Blackburn, Texas team total first five
Speaker 2: over two and a half minus one ten, they'll take
Speaker 2: det meers to town. The Atlanta team total first five
Speaker 2: over three and a half at plus money, sign me
Speaker 2: up plus one twenty.
Speaker 1: I like jpas he says, take out a second mortgage
Speaker 1: and play some bets. That's right, Well, there are some
Speaker 1: good bets that you can do today. Two that I love.
Speaker 1: I'm we don't want to go crazy on the parlays.
Speaker 1: But Kevin Gossman six and a half strikeouts, pair that Widley,
Speaker 1: he's just a Lozardo five and a half strikeouts. They're
Speaker 1: both juiced. I found to like minus one sixty, so
Speaker 1: it's gonna be somewhere in between there. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: juice solo bet. You pair them together, you get around
Speaker 1: one sixty. So one sixty four, to be exact, is
Speaker 1: what I got. Gossman strikeouts over Lozardo strikeouts over like that.
Speaker 1: Another parlay Arizona money line, Seattle money line. Give me
Speaker 1: those two. I get one sixty, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: And I know someone in here said they didn't like
Speaker 1: saval stuff overall. But Tampa Bay first five money line
Speaker 1: is minus one ten. You also can take full game
Speaker 1: for even money at one. But I like Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: first five, so we're pairing up Aaron Savale to do
Speaker 1: some work for Tampa Bay through the first five. Those
Speaker 1: are my big bets. What do you got on the
Speaker 1: DFS today?
Speaker 2: Gossman going up against Philadelphia at ten point five, Castie
Speaker 2: overs Kansas City, and that I like the punt of
Speaker 2: Javier Asad at six point four versus the White Sox.
Speaker 2: But it looks like the wind might be blowing out
Speaker 2: in Chicago Wrigley, Let's keep an eye on that one.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Chicago, loves stacking up the Cubs versus Mike Clevenger,
Speaker 2: stick with Atlanta in any matchup. And then I love
Speaker 2: Texas versus Redebt Meers and not a ton of value.
Speaker 2: But Nicky Lopez if he gets to start at second base,
Speaker 2: he's two point eight cavers Vasquez and the potentially Garrett
Speaker 2: Cooper at two point four versus Kramer, but not a
Speaker 2: ton of value.
Speaker 1: On today's sleek, where in the world are Welsh and
Speaker 1: Corbin Carol? Your final bets you can get in right now.
Speaker 1: I have marked any that need to be marked. So
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, let's first set up where in the
Speaker 1: world are Welsh and Corbin? Then that it gives me
Speaker 1: every ten I'm like sitting over here, I'm like, just
Speaker 1: so proud of yourself. I'm very I just the music
Speaker 1: makes me happy.
Speaker 2: Where are we?
Speaker 1: The hint was Barrel and I gotta give it to it.
Speaker 1: Maybe I made it too easy because guess what a
Speaker 1: bunch of you got it And Brett Anderson was the
Speaker 1: first one because Corbin and I Niagara Falls. That's right,
Speaker 1: seeing the beautiful sights going east watch in the beautiful
Speaker 1: water flow. I've never been there, but Corbin and I
Speaker 1: definitely totally went. Did not just get photoshop. That's a
Speaker 1: real picture. Of course, Corban Carroll does not endorse Niagara Falls.
Speaker 1: So any of you that got that, I will be
Speaker 1: marking you down very very good and a great job.
Speaker 1: Great job. Where in the world are Welsh and Corban Carrol?
Speaker 1: I have some very fun ones coming up. So now
Speaker 1: some of you are actually on the board, so congratulations.
Speaker 1: We will keep playing that. And yes, I think the
Speaker 1: next destination will be the matting Cage.
Speaker 2: We will be doing.
Speaker 1: Maybe some live VP to try to get that average
Speaker 1: going home run calls, Bubba, who you call in today?
Speaker 2: I'm sticking with the Rangers can be adeleast Garcia against
Speaker 2: Reed det Mers. I think that's a fun one right there.
Speaker 1: Ooh, I didn't even actually get mine. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with you know what, let's have some fun. Let's go
Speaker 1: with Ellie Da La Cruz today up against Noahs Cyndegard.
Speaker 1: I love that one. If you want to take a
Speaker 1: look at the home run board, would you lucky LOOKI
Speaker 1: who has sole possession of five? That would be me?
Speaker 1: Blue Harvester picked it back up, Milk Carton for Razor Ramon,
Speaker 1: we're missing Razor. Where you at?
Speaker 2: JJ?
Speaker 1: Tator Our Hoffman at thirty nine? So Razor and Tater
Speaker 1: at forty, Harvest forty seven. I am at thirty six
Speaker 1: with sole possession of five. We've got Wonky at six
Speaker 1: with thirty five as well as Mt. Fisher. I am
Speaker 1: coming for that helmet. So where in the world will
Speaker 1: that helmet be? In my office? Ladies and gentlemen, we
Speaker 1: got through it. Thank you guys for hanging out. Holy crap,
Speaker 1: crazy technical issues, it's nonsense, but we made it through.
