Speaker 1: Mister three thousand, let's play ball. Welcome in everybody to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros. This is leading off right here for you
Speaker 1: every single day, Monday through Friday on Fantasy Pros MLB
Speaker 1: channel on YouTube Live with the Peanuts and Cracker Jackson,
Speaker 1: brought to you by Bet MGM, the King of Sportsbook.
Speaker 1: And with me, of course is the Welsh who is
Speaker 1: gimmicking the broadcast already with a copy of the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Black Book, it appears, which he's hiding behind. One can
Speaker 1: only hope that when he reveals it, it won't be
Speaker 1: the Welsh, perhaps it will be Byron Buxton instead. So
Speaker 1: will we get the Birthday Boy or will we get
Speaker 1: the Welsh? Welsh Buxton? Who is it today?
Speaker 2: It's so interesting. I was just reading one of my
Speaker 2: favorite pieces of literature from Fantasy Baseball preseason stuff. Something
Speaker 2: I like to do, Joe, is I occasionally will take
Speaker 2: a look in season and I just happened to go
Speaker 2: to UH the Byron Buxton page on the Fantasy Black Book,
Speaker 2: and I found found a mistake in the Fantasy Black Book, Joe.
Speaker 2: And the mistake is you didn't have me righte The
Speaker 2: Byron Buxton UH player profile, which should have been done.
Speaker 2: I did write strategy in there, you did, but I
Speaker 2: don't see the wells on the Byron Buckston one.
Speaker 1: That is that the strategy bucks in one one? Is
Speaker 1: that what you're pissed off about this morning?
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I don't see me writing the Byron buckson.
Speaker 2: That's a huge mistake. You want to know where Byron
Speaker 2: Buxton was in here under solid options? Now to give credit,
Speaker 2: our friend Tuma definitely is a Byron Buxton stand but
Speaker 2: we are not going under solid options for Byron Buckston,
Speaker 2: my friend. We are going under elite RPV options. No
Speaker 2: big deal, just a pretty good week for Byron Buxton.
Speaker 2: I know the Peanuts and Cracker Jacks are probably very
Speaker 2: excited for what my take would be on Byron.
Speaker 1: But look, man, hey, you got to ride the wave
Speaker 1: while it's here. It's a good bit at number one,
Speaker 1: at number two, he looked great at number three. Uh,
Speaker 1: you gotta enjoy it before he gets hurt again as always,
Speaker 1: because we always know that's always impending and looming it
Speaker 1: all times. But today we're gonna get through some headlines.
Speaker 1: The stat heroes, The stat zero's a little DFS, a
Speaker 1: little wagering, because we do it all here on leading
Speaker 1: off on MLB Channel, on Fantasy Pros, and let's start
Speaker 1: here a little bit of history. My boy, Meggie, Miguel
Speaker 1: Cabrera gets his three thousand hits, So congrats sate him.
Speaker 1: Did you see Welsh He's got basically the same amount
Speaker 1: of hits as his entire Tigers teammates combined. I thought
Speaker 1: that was amazing for their career.
Speaker 2: I by that. I totally buy that Miggy is the best.
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy about Miggi too. I don't know
Speaker 2: about you, Joe, but like MEGGI came in Ride, it
Speaker 2: like a really critical time of me caring about baseball.
Speaker 2: Obviously you care like when you're younger and stuff, but
Speaker 2: it's like you mature and you become well kind of
Speaker 2: mature as you know, not really like that mature, Yeah,
Speaker 2: as you get older and like you start to like,
Speaker 2: you know, really follow players and really get Like Mickey
Speaker 2: was in that really critical Marlins time where that you know,
Speaker 2: that team that came up like one Pierre and Craig council.
Speaker 2: It was such a great team. He was excited.
Speaker 1: It was very exciting. Josh, Yes, and yeah, three right.
Speaker 2: It was great, and he came up in that and
Speaker 2: it was like kind of special because it's one of
Speaker 2: those like, you know, like twenty year old kids and
Speaker 2: stuff aren't going to have like a perspective for it.
Speaker 2: But when you see guys through their major league debut
Speaker 2: to their retirement, when they're in Hall of Fame, it's
Speaker 2: something that like you know, our dads and grandfathers and
Speaker 2: everything experience in baseball, that we are getting to really
Speaker 2: truly experience these guys that we watched from day one
Speaker 2: to you know, breaking all the records to Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame ceremonies. It's it's it's pretty crazy. It's pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: Meggie Si, He's incredible.
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful moment too. And his first hit
Speaker 1: was a home run. His thousandth fit was a home runs,
Speaker 1: two thousands hit was a home run. Unfortunately, now the
Speaker 1: three thousandth hit was a home run, but again, that
Speaker 1: would have been all the kudos to Maggie. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what kudos are. I never understand what that means,
Speaker 1: but I want to.
Speaker 2: Give him all ultimate cousins of cooties.
Speaker 1: I know, I just love it might be, but I
Speaker 1: love that I love that Miggy has been such a
Speaker 1: great hitter for such a long period of time, and
Speaker 1: then there was a few years recently where it felt
Speaker 1: like things were just going in a bad direction. And
Speaker 1: he's kind of found himself a little bit lately, too,
Speaker 1: which is great. I mean, you wanted him to finish
Speaker 1: his career strong. He's a first bout Hall of Famer. Again,
Speaker 1: who the moron is? And you know there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a couple of them who don't vote for Miguel Cabrera
Speaker 1: for the Hall of Fame. Send him to my house.
Speaker 1: I could slap him around.
Speaker 2: You There will be. Do you really think there will be?
Speaker 1: Like I thought, he didn't vote for Derek Jeter?
Speaker 2: I know, But the Jeter thing, what I don't know.
Speaker 1: What about Jeter's career doesn't say hall of Famer?
Speaker 2: What? No? I agree?
Speaker 1: He hits a million championships, captain the Yankees, played in
Speaker 1: one spot his entire career. I mean, what, what poar
Speaker 1: did that guy?
Speaker 2: I guess I agree with it. I guess I agree
Speaker 2: that because there's always that debate of like, you know, offense.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I agree with what you're saying. He
Speaker 2: has three thousand It's just how can anybody do like
Speaker 2: what is going to be the argument on Miguel Cabrera.
Speaker 2: It can't even facilitate what it would be.
Speaker 1: There is going to be somebody that doesn't vote for
Speaker 1: migul Cabrera. There's gonna be somebody because we never get
Speaker 1: unanimous guys. We've got one unanimous guy ever, and it was,
Speaker 1: of all people, it was a guy who it was
Speaker 1: a reliever of. I mean, that is such a slap
Speaker 1: in the face of the guys who played ninety things.
Speaker 1: I can't I am. I am didn't even think I
Speaker 1: was in a good mood. Now I'm salty about this
Speaker 1: because I know it's gonna happen. So I have to
Speaker 1: wait for five years after Miguel Cabrera's retirement to get
Speaker 1: all pissy about it. But I can get pissy in
Speaker 1: the meantime about Eloya Menez out for six to eight
Speaker 1: weeks with a hamstring injury. Oh my goodness, boy, I
Speaker 1: saw it live. It was going on too. I happen
Speaker 1: to be watching a cut in there and I saw it.
Speaker 1: I went, oh, boy, that's a hamsterring. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: a long period of time.
Speaker 2: So you know, all the bucks and stuff that we get.
Speaker 2: He's like floating in that is the exact same territory
Speaker 2: without the crazy upside you know, offensively for like stolen
Speaker 2: bases or whatnot. But it's an elite bat that cannot
Speaker 2: stay healthy DH or outfield. I don't know if it not.
Speaker 2: I don't know what you do. I don't know what
Speaker 2: you do. I mean, he's a big body guy that
Speaker 2: can't keep it.
Speaker 1: I think I think, I think it's just a bad
Speaker 1: stretch of luck. And honestly, if somebody's frustrated with him
Speaker 1: in a keeper league dynasty format, go get him right now.
Speaker 1: This is your chance. Because last year they waited for
Speaker 1: five months to him forgetting for him to get back,
Speaker 1: and now you're gonna have to wait another two months
Speaker 1: probably to get him back. People get frustrated, and people
Speaker 1: hate to lose, and he's too young of a player.
Speaker 1: I would go get him. I mean, Anthony Rondolan was
Speaker 1: hurt a ton in his career before he had like
Speaker 1: four or five glorious seasons in his prime. So I mean,
Speaker 1: guys can shake this off. Byron Buckston can shake it off. Still,
Speaker 1: there's still time. Who else is shaking it off? Ty
Speaker 1: Franz has shaken off a lot. He's shaken off a
Speaker 1: lot of balls off his bat. He is on fire
Speaker 1: right now. He's been great. John Means unfortunately also things
Speaker 1: not going his way. He's gonna be out for the
Speaker 1: year with Tommy John, this is a picture I have
Speaker 1: zero shares of Welsh. I don't know how you felt
Speaker 1: about Means, but I was staying away from him because
Speaker 1: last year, the injury and the sticky stuff all to
Speaker 1: me was just like a little bit. His run was
Speaker 1: too good to be true, and then it all kind
Speaker 1: of fell apart in the second half, and I just
Speaker 1: wasn't buying it. Do you have any shares of John Means?
Speaker 2: It's Baltimore picture. I'm not doing that. I'm not. I mean,
Speaker 2: and baseball Baltimore. I mean John, Like John Means is fun.
Speaker 2: They brought back the fences, all work in his favor,
Speaker 2: but like it's Baltimore pitcher.
Speaker 1: So no idea. Eric Lower, Holy crap. Thirteen strikeouts for him,
Speaker 1: how about that? And of course Byron Buckston seventh homers
Speaker 1: of the seventh and the tenth to lead the Twins'
Speaker 1: longest walk off him run in the stackcast era by
Speaker 1: the way four hundred and sixty nine feet. Did you
Speaker 1: know that? Well?
Speaker 2: Tell me? May you know what I did? Because I
Speaker 2: was immediately tweeted about it. It might be my favorite
Speaker 2: big you know what, good or bad? Good or bad?
Speaker 2: My favorite bit might be Byron Buckson this year, whether
Speaker 2: he goes down injured and all of you tweet me
Speaker 2: or he's amazing. And then like some of you that
Speaker 2: want to play on the positive side, not all of you,
Speaker 2: there's plenty of I saw someone in the chat immediately
Speaker 2: was like, oh, it took one minute for Byron Buckson
Speaker 2: to be brought up. Plenty of you don't want to play,
Speaker 2: that's fine, But the Peanuts cracker Jacks that want to
Speaker 2: play and have fun on it. I love those tweets
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, supposed to be a fun We're making baseball fun
Speaker 1: because it used to be fun and we want it
Speaker 1: to be fun. And if you're enjoying this video, the
Speaker 1: make sure you like it. And of course if you're
Speaker 1: watching us live, go comment because here's one from Eric
Speaker 1: Klantz I've been getting. This is the third Kyle Tucker
Speaker 1: question I've gotten today. Eric Klantz. He wants to know
Speaker 1: trade away Suzuki and Chris Bassett again, Kyle Tucker, I
Speaker 1: take that right. I would say yes to Eric's question here.
Speaker 1: I love Kyle Tucker. I still think he's a very
Speaker 1: good player, as good as a pitcher as Bassett is,
Speaker 1: and he's very good if you've got the pitching depth
Speaker 1: to give up. I still worry about Suzuki in the
Speaker 1: next five months, way more than I worry about Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 1: Slow start, that's me. What do you say here?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a fair point. Like, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: agree with what you're saying with Suzuki, like he's gonna
Speaker 2: come back down to earth. But some of the things
Speaker 2: he's doing creates sustainability throughout the season. Like he's not
Speaker 2: swinging through pitches. He you know, he's taking the balls,
Speaker 2: he's swinging at the strikes, he's making good contact, he's
Speaker 2: running a decent amount. The thing is, though, is Kyle
Speaker 2: Tucker is exponential, say as Suzuki. So if you if
Speaker 2: you believe Kyle Tucker is washed, then you don't make
Speaker 2: this trade. But if you believe Kyle Tucker can regain form,
Speaker 2: which I think we all do. Yeah, I mean that's
Speaker 2: that's a that trade makes sense. It really does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I actually got one too this morning
Speaker 1: that the Gentleman sent Carlos Carrasco and Cody Bellinger for
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, which I'm also all for. I mean, you
Speaker 1: would definitely do that trade too. It's as good as
Speaker 1: Carrasco has been, and he's been very good.
Speaker 2: As good as Carrasco has been, as good as Bellinger
Speaker 2: has been.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know the I don't know. I like,
Speaker 1: it's nice to see Bellinger bouncing back, but there's still
Speaker 1: so much more potential for failure in there. So I
Speaker 1: would rather have Kyle Tucker Kyle Tucker. So yeah, bad
Speaker 1: April people are freaking out about Kyle Tucker. Go, I'll
Speaker 1: take all your Kyle Tucker shares and in my way a
Speaker 1: couple other news here and notes. Jerry Pania walks it
Speaker 1: off for the Ashers in the tenth Welsh's boy Boy,
Speaker 1: you were right on time with him, Jeremy Paine, this
Speaker 1: is your day. It is your It feels like your
Speaker 1: birthday today.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was Friday, but ye.
Speaker 1: Nick Lodolo gets his MLB first victory. He struck out
Speaker 1: seven in that, so that's very good. I also traded
Speaker 1: him this weekend. I made a lot of trades. This
Speaker 1: weekend in my home league was very fun. Some injuries.
Speaker 1: Michael Couldfordo had season ending or chaise a surgery because
Speaker 1: he has no season. He wasn't on a team. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say season ending, but whatever, so he's gonna
Speaker 1: miss all at twenty twenty two. For those of you
Speaker 1: who are drafting him and stashing him, it's time to
Speaker 1: drop him right now. I want to get to can
Speaker 1: we talk about this because Kyle Schwarber got to basically
Speaker 1: embody all the frustrations of every baseball fan for the
Speaker 1: last twenty years in one moment last night with Angel Hernandez,
Speaker 1: who called a ball outside the strike zone a strike,
Speaker 1: which is, as John Hayman puts it in one of
Speaker 1: the many many tweets about it, he couldn't see the
Speaker 1: E on the eyechart Angel Hernandez, that was That was
Speaker 1: my favorite of all of these. But Angel Hernandez still
Speaker 1: has a job.
Speaker 2: And I kind of been thinking about this, Welsh, and.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, if we were as bad
Speaker 1: at our jobs as Angel Hernandez, would we still be employed.
Speaker 1: I think not. No.
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny that you brought this subject up
Speaker 2: of that, like not just focusing on how bad all
Speaker 2: the but like but he still has a job is incredible.
Speaker 2: And the ineptitude of Baseball to allow the worst person,
Speaker 2: the worst public person at maybe the most important MLB job,
Speaker 2: not you know, the players themselves, but an MLB based
Speaker 2: employee like that, for this guy to be so known
Speaker 2: for how atrocious he is, and it continue letting him
Speaker 2: be out there with what seems like maybe we don't
Speaker 2: know behind the scenes. It seems like no repercussions. It
Speaker 2: seems like is there ever a conversation a talking to Well, now,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: He gets worse, contentious on top of it, on top
Speaker 1: of being bad, he's contentious about it. And I don't
Speaker 1: understand it.
Speaker 2: Out instantly like without has didn't even let Schwarber have
Speaker 2: three seconds of frustration and anger. He as soon as
Speaker 2: Sworbert bat down gone, And it's like, give me a break, dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, man, I just I just don't understand, Like,
Speaker 1: just because the guy's an umpire, if he's proven to
Speaker 1: be the worst at it, why is he still Like
Speaker 1: I don't understand. There's consequences. People get fired, Unions are
Speaker 1: not if you are bad at your job for twenty years,
Speaker 1: I don't understand how you get to do send.
Speaker 2: Him down to triple A dude. Legitimately, Angel Hernandez is
Speaker 2: going to be the reason why Ovo robo UMP's tank over.
Speaker 2: That's it, Like, why else? Why else would they do that?
Speaker 2: Unless these guys got so horrible. He's the worst of
Speaker 2: all of them. He's the pack leader of all of them.
Speaker 2: He's the reason its gonna be. We should call it
Speaker 2: the Angel Hernandez rule. And all that means is going
Speaker 2: to fire him.
Speaker 1: Why do you think he doesn't face any discipline or problems,
Speaker 1: because I guess my point is, I understand that, you know,
Speaker 1: there's a protection thing in place, and everybody's a human
Speaker 1: being and they make bad calls. But when you're consistently
Speaker 1: doing it on a daily basis for years plural, when
Speaker 1: do we stop that and when do we go, hey,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, this guy really shouldn't be out there
Speaker 1: doing it. Maybe pull him into the office instead and
Speaker 1: let him do something else and let him be one
Speaker 1: of the guys who watches reviews of a consultant.
Speaker 2: Like a consultant. You know it would be great. Television
Speaker 2: is so good. Now with bringing on villains, how about
Speaker 2: let him be the consultant that the you know, Sunday
Speaker 2: Night Baseball comes on and said, hey, Angel, you think
Speaker 2: that's a strike And they're like, He's like, yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: and they're like, no, he threw it in the outfit.
Speaker 2: I think everything right, Yeah, yeah, exactly. Bower just through
Speaker 2: that in the outfield.
Speaker 1: Angel. That's one of my favorite bits of old Chris
Speaker 1: Rock was a consultant, as white people say when they're unemployed.
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite bits.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to stat heroes for the weekend.
Speaker 1: We said, Eric Lauer, with his thirteen strikeouts, six innings
Speaker 1: zero earned Outstanding performance U six straight k's at one
Speaker 1: point lowered that era to two point two zero. Kyle
Speaker 1: Wright continues to be amazing. Well, I'm so pissed off
Speaker 1: about this, Can I just can I then for a second,
Speaker 1: because I have been a Kyle Wright apologist for so long,
Speaker 1: and I've rostered him in so many dynasty keeper leagues
Speaker 1: and then lost faith and jennisoned him over the last
Speaker 1: year or two, and now he drops another eleven K performance,
Speaker 1: one walk, six k's, I mean six innings, excuse me
Speaker 1: against the Martlins through three stars this year seventeen innings,
Speaker 1: twenty six k's I mean, this is the Carol right,
Speaker 1: we've all been waiting for. What is different with Kyle Wright.
Speaker 2: People forget that he was also a top prospect. You know,
Speaker 2: it's amazing to go back and look, well, it's amazing
Speaker 2: to go back and look at like the group of
Speaker 2: guys that he made it out. It was like him
Speaker 2: and I think Mike Soroca, who's injured right now. You
Speaker 2: had Bryce Wilson, who God knows where he is right now.
Speaker 1: Who's a big guy too, a bigger dude.
Speaker 2: I can't remember. Luis O'Hara. Luis O'Hara, Yah, yeah, who
Speaker 2: used to be a Mariner and he got traded over
Speaker 2: there and he fail. All of them failed except Max Freed.
Speaker 2: Max Read was the only one that was able to
Speaker 2: come out on top. And Kyle Wright has just velo
Speaker 2: has been up. He's consistently been hitting his spots. That's
Speaker 2: the thing. It's consistency. That's the thing that is frustrating
Speaker 2: for so many about baseball. But then also as part
Speaker 2: of that love is you can have these guys and
Speaker 2: it's like the post post post hype sleeper where the
Speaker 2: talent was always there. Not all of them. Does it
Speaker 2: click in six months. Sometimes it takes two or three years.
Speaker 2: And we see it with hitters a lot pitchers. There's
Speaker 2: a common I mean a commonality of these guys four
Speaker 2: or five years into their career, changing a few things,
Speaker 2: tweaking it, have the experience knowing what to do in
Speaker 2: big situations, and then just start going. And it's that like,
Speaker 2: you know, that really late twenty eight to twenty nine
Speaker 2: year old that just starts going. How Wright found it.
Speaker 2: He had the pedigree before he's refound his consistency, and
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I tried to do a lot of
Speaker 2: pick up and buys in that first week and he is.
Speaker 2: You know, he's no go for anybody right now because
Speaker 2: he was one of the biggest pickups to start the year.
Speaker 1: Let me say he's gonna win people leagues. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you right now, he's this year's robe on. Because when
Speaker 1: you get a guy who's free and it's pitching like this,
Speaker 1: who's pitching like an ace, forget it, man, that's a
Speaker 1: league winning guy right now. Also hopefully a league winning guy.
Speaker 1: Garret Cole who found himself again that goodness. Nine k's
Speaker 1: over the Guardians. There no earned runs, thank goodness, Garrett
Speaker 1: Cole looking at Garrett Cole. Giledo bouncing back to getting
Speaker 1: back from his injury. Nine strikeouts and four innings, Thank you,
Speaker 1: Lucas Giledo, welcome back. Aaron Nola finally looked good in
Speaker 1: the game against the Brewers. Nine k's in this one
Speaker 1: for him. No earned runs, but again Aaron Nola can
Speaker 1: go out next week and give up six earned runs
Speaker 1: and four innings because he's Aaron Nola. Nester Cortes another
Speaker 1: guy co did to dominate the for the Yankees. Eight
Speaker 1: k's this weekend in the game for him also, Gomer
Speaker 1: had a good star with Ak's Frankie Montas same thing
Speaker 1: a CA's Hazel Czardo was good walk four guys but
Speaker 1: still got the eight k's. Other strong performances this weekend
Speaker 1: we had Gallon Darvish Kopek was good. We mentioned Lodolo
Speaker 1: gettings first win to reach Schooble guy was talking about
Speaker 1: with Bogmin has been very solid as well. In Shane McClanahan,
Speaker 1: I love how fired up by the way the peanuts
Speaker 1: and cracker Jacks are today. I riled them up on
Speaker 1: this Angel Hernandez stuff. They are going crazy. If you're
Speaker 1: watching this back, I implore you go read some of
Speaker 1: these comments because they are We're hilarious.
Speaker 2: And actually what we've done is we we really hit
Speaker 2: all the points. It's almost like it's like a textbook.
Speaker 2: We started with me poking at buckst and we win.
Speaker 2: Then to Is was Jeter unanimous Hall of Famer too.
Speaker 2: Then Angel Hernandez. There's only two or three more areas
Speaker 2: we can go. Shall we talk about the DH and
Speaker 2: the NL And it's.
Speaker 1: Gonna say if you want to talk about Pete Rose
Speaker 1: next word.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's exactly Charlie Babe. By the way, I don't
Speaker 2: know everybody saw done a little Pete rosemarker. Charlie Blackman
Speaker 2: became the first player to be an endorser of a
Speaker 2: gambling site. He is like the face endorsement of a
Speaker 2: gambling site. He's the first player to get that done. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's let's talk about Pee Rose. Let's get a few
Speaker 2: more I.
Speaker 1: The tagline is always been on Blackman's That's that's what
Speaker 1: I would do. Black All right, let's go to the hitters.
Speaker 1: Ty France eight for fifteen over the weekend with two Dingers,
Speaker 1: seven RBI. Finally, Paul Golschman picked things up too. He
Speaker 1: had been stone cold, but seven for fourteen. See how
Speaker 1: what happens. He jumped his head average from one forty
Speaker 1: six to two thirty six just over the weekend. Michael
Speaker 1: Brantley heating up. We're gonna talk about him later. Love
Speaker 1: him in DFS, love him in the prop market. Tonight
Speaker 1: he is red hot six for twelve with a home run,
Speaker 1: three walks byer Buckston six for nine over the weekend,
Speaker 1: three home runs. You know that Mike Trout six for twelve,
Speaker 1: two dingers. Mike Trout is leading the American League in
Speaker 1: slugging percentage at six ninety. Question for you, Welsh, who
Speaker 1: is number two in three, right behind Mike Trout. Don't look,
Speaker 1: no peaking, I'm not looking you name those guys in
Speaker 1: the al or in baseball, in the in baseball, in baseball,
Speaker 1: it's Trout, two and then two and three. Think about
Speaker 1: guys who's slugging percentage. It's not Buxton, believe it or not.
Speaker 1: It's guys who have had obviously very hot starts. One
Speaker 1: of them is very easy ones the National League. Actually
Speaker 1: both are nationally guys that are right behind him. So
Speaker 1: who would be player of the month in your mind
Speaker 1: right now? In the National League. I'll give you a hint.
Speaker 1: He plays in the central.
Speaker 2: God.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a cracker Jacks if you know the answer,
Speaker 1: No one, Aernada is one, Chad, says Kron. That's a
Speaker 1: good guess. That is incorrect. You got another guest here,
Speaker 1: I could I can give you a.
Speaker 2: Hint, Yeah, give me another.
Speaker 1: His play has been music to your ears, music, get it, jazz,
Speaker 1: jazz about jazz chism. So obviously, obviously the guys we thought.
Speaker 2: Would be at the top of everyone. Look at the
Speaker 2: Suzuki bat. I mean everybody thought it was Suzuki there.
Speaker 2: So those are great, Those are really really great guesses.
Speaker 1: That's that. Mike Mayer gave me that little tip bit
Speaker 1: this morning. We were talking about that. He quiz me
Speaker 1: and I sent CJ. Crohn and then Ernato and then
Speaker 1: I couldn't get jazz chisholm h. So the mayor did
Speaker 1: something useful today. Good on him. Cody Bellinger three for twelve,
Speaker 1: two more home runs for him, So your buying window
Speaker 1: is probably closed. Jock Peterson had two home runs. Jess
Speaker 1: Chishm four for thirteen, one home run, three steals. He's
Speaker 1: starting to look I mean, chishom is one of these guys,
Speaker 1: very divisive so far. If you were team Chisholm, you
Speaker 1: were doing very well. Not much else we could say
Speaker 1: about that. Jory Mateo two for twelve, but he stole
Speaker 1: four bases two also two home runs this weekend. Four
Speaker 1: Austin Riley, Mookie Bets, Santiago Espinal, Aaron Judge, Christian Walker
Speaker 1: and Wander Franco. Wonder Franco hitting for a lot of
Speaker 1: power here?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I Wander doing it and he did it
Speaker 2: in the same game.
Speaker 1: For power, yeah, just a bit. I love it.
Speaker 2: It's what I can't do with my voice right now.
Speaker 1: But he's got a lot of power, Yes, so much power.
Speaker 1: One there, He's got a good lower half. I really
Speaker 1: like that, all right here? Some stat zeros, Oh man,
Speaker 1: remember when Patrick Corbyn had a good couple of spreak starts.
Speaker 1: We were all getting excited.
Speaker 2: Don't you want me to finish podcast? Let's not talking
Speaker 2: about Patrick Corbyn.
Speaker 1: Oh, why you got some shares there, buddy, I just don't.
Speaker 2: Want to get in nerd Patrick Corbyn. Yeah, it's all alerted.
Speaker 1: That's okay. Well, I'm gonna do it. Then seven earned
Speaker 1: runs eleven twenty e through four starts, Sean me and
Speaker 1: I have bad start for him, that's okay. Six earned runs.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Everybody has a bad game, Elie's
Speaker 1: or Hernandez. Unfortunately, he had a bad start to in
Speaker 1: the no decision. He had pitched very well up until there,
Speaker 1: so that's kind of frustrating. Corey Klueber fourned runs for
Speaker 1: him and Arensavali six earned runs, Adelberto Mundasee one for
Speaker 1: eleven with seven strikeouts. How about that by Loo and
Speaker 1: wit Maryfield I did this weekend. He's got three steals
Speaker 1: for fourteen games, hitting the buck thirty six. Wit Marricksfield
Speaker 1: was one of the best hitters in baseball. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's wrong. Don't worry about it. Hazu Sanchez starting
Speaker 1: to cool off a little bit. Two for thirteen, six strikeouts. There,
Speaker 1: Bobashett sluggish start to the season for him. He's a
Speaker 1: great BILO candidate. He's a much better player. He's got
Speaker 1: twenty strikeouts already, hitting two seventeen. Jesse Winker has done
Speaker 1: nothing he's two for twenty, and that was one guy
Speaker 1: I was gonna Yeah.
Speaker 2: You were right about that so far. I mean, I
Speaker 2: still think so you will rebound the guys, you know,
Speaker 2: built to be a good contact hitter. But this is
Speaker 2: one that you were on, and you know, for all
Speaker 2: intents and purposes, you're right because you know you have
Speaker 2: this bad of a start. People are gonna cut him
Speaker 2: or he's easily easily trade accessible.
Speaker 1: I just felt like Cincinnati really propped up a lot
Speaker 1: of his numbers, you know, and that lineup too, the
Speaker 1: way it was structured, it was good for him. Jordan
Speaker 1: Alvarez two one for thirteen, three k's. But look, you
Speaker 1: got Alvarez, you got shit, you got wit Maryfield. Those
Speaker 1: are the guys I'm buying right now. Welsh. To me,
Speaker 1: those are guys that should absolutely, you know, people should
Speaker 1: be throwing offers all over the place. Let's get to
Speaker 1: the home run board because we've got a new leader.
Speaker 1: And it is a little scary if you're a Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones fan. It's the Night King. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: the Night King is up to seven. Look at that.
Speaker 1: It's glorious. Still got a bunch of people with six
Speaker 1: Pete A. Lonzo let me down terribly. No home runs
Speaker 1: for me this weekend?
Speaker 2: Boo did I get did I default get viron buck
Speaker 2: soon for the weekend.
Speaker 1: You have to call you to at least put it
Speaker 1: in the sheet. If you're not going to call it
Speaker 1: in discord, you have to at least put it in
Speaker 1: the sheet. Them's the rules.
Speaker 2: So I'm pretty sure that was the last person that
Speaker 2: I did have on the sheet.
Speaker 1: I just want to point out, well, I don't know,
Speaker 1: you have to talk to mayor. Mayor's not just kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying you can take Byron Bucks in for
Speaker 1: the whole season for all I care. Like you said,
Speaker 1: and you want to play that game, we could play
Speaker 1: that game. If you want to play other games though,
Speaker 1: go to bet mgm. You see what I did there.

Speaker 1: leading off, not too It's one word now at BETMGM,
Speaker 1: so go and get your props on. Here's some good ones.
Speaker 1: A little tough day for it, but I combed through
Speaker 1: with a fine comb.
Speaker 2: Welsh.
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber kprop over on DK six and a half.
Speaker 1: I like to over on this one. The juice is
Speaker 1: a minus one fifty, but I would still pay it.
Speaker 1: Chris Taylor total bases on BETMGM is just point five.
Speaker 1: I think that's a smash. They are same with Trey
Speaker 1: Turner's total bases on DK, which is one and a half.
Speaker 1: I think that's a smash too. They've got good matchup
Speaker 1: against Kelly tonight against Arizona and then Mark Kano who's
Speaker 1: been quietly back for the Mets and actually hitting pretty well.
Speaker 1: This is a sneaky one, Boys and Girls, DK point
Speaker 1: five on the total basis. I like the over on
Speaker 1: that one. You get minus one sixty. Again, the juice
Speaker 1: isn't great, but I would squeeze that any anything else
Speaker 1: there catches your fancy there, Welsh, you know.
Speaker 2: One that I kind of like, and it would actually
Speaker 2: be you don't want to parlay these too crazy, but
Speaker 2: I kind of want to parlay. Kyle Schwarber total bases,
Speaker 2: which I believe is just said it or hit it
Speaker 2: might be. Where the hell was it it was at hits.
Speaker 2: It's on the prop sheet, which I highly SUGGECT suggests.
Speaker 2: Go check out the cheat sheet prop sheet, which you
Speaker 2: guys can go and check out over on bettingpros dot com.
Speaker 2: And they've got a Kyle Schwarber marker at one fifty
Speaker 2: and I believe it my he just hits at zero
Speaker 2: point five. And partly that with Will Smith with the
Speaker 2: Dodgers at total bases, which is plus up against Merle Kelly,
Speaker 2: who he hits pretty decent, and I would parlay those
Speaker 2: two together. But yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of
Speaker 2: this entire slate because also you have great hitters going
Speaker 2: up against really solid pictures.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why. To the funny on, it's a tough one.
Speaker 1: And the picture. Remember when you know, a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, when the picture k props were all over
Speaker 1: they were all wrong. Well they're not wrong anymore so.
Speaker 1: If anything, you might have looked for some of the unders.
Speaker 1: Maybe some of them are sat a little high.
Speaker 2: Not that Bieber one though, but no, not the Bieber one.
Speaker 1: The Bieber one's the one outlier for me, and speaking
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers, who we both seem to be in
Speaker 1: on there my stack of the night tonight like the
Speaker 1: Dodgers a lot. There's some value in the Dodgers too,
Speaker 1: especially on FanDuel, some really medium priced Dodgers, which is
Speaker 1: odd uh and Houston is the other way I would
Speaker 1: go as well. The Pitchers tonight. Look, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: go big time, it's Corbyn Burns, it's Smack Scherzer tonight.
Speaker 1: Sure's there's nine point three on DK He's he's almost
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars less than burn because he's going against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. I would take that thousand savings and I
Speaker 1: would put it in the sures or I'm not even
Speaker 1: hesitating there. On DK they're the same price, So you
Speaker 1: can mix a match if you want to tonight in cash.
Speaker 1: It's perfectly fine if you want to have exposure to both.
Speaker 1: Franbur Valdez is eight point four on DK, eight point
Speaker 1: seven over on FANDEL. Here's the one strange outlier on DK,
Speaker 1: Walker Buehler is just eight point eight against Arizona Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1: Please just roster him. Don't overthink things. And Jose Burrios
Speaker 1: is super cheap tonight too. On DK. I don't know
Speaker 1: they got drunk last night. We're hanging out with somebody.
Speaker 1: I don't know what went on, but that's what I'm
Speaker 1: looking at tonight. Some of the lineup builders on DK.
Speaker 1: Got mccutching at three point three at the top of
Speaker 1: the order against a lefty on DK, that's good value.
Speaker 1: Alec Boehme at three point six, Markanna just two point
Speaker 1: three on DK. Markkanna, he's the cheat code that allows
Speaker 1: you to get to those big pictures tonight on DK,
Speaker 1: and then on FanDuel. Justin Turner, who's another by Loo
Speaker 1: for me, professional hitter, slow start whatever. He looks fantastic.
Speaker 1: He had a good spring three point one. Jeremy Pania
Speaker 1: Welsh's got two point nine. Michael Brantley at two point six.
Speaker 1: Start that stack with Houston with Panya and Brantley at
Speaker 1: the top of the order on FanDuel, and then go
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker at two point nine and then the f
Speaker 1: animal two point six. Uh, those are some of the
Speaker 1: guys tonight. So well, You've had a lot of time
Speaker 1: to think about your home run call. Who is your
Speaker 1: guy tonight? Who's going Yard.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna go with the guy that I had
Speaker 2: just mentioned, a very good short career versus Merle Kelly
Speaker 2: going up against my Diamondbacks. I'm going with Will Smith.
Speaker 2: Hal apropos for your joke from a little bit earlier
Speaker 2: about Chris rob I'm gonna go with Will Smith, who
Speaker 2: is six for eleven against Merle. Got a homer in there,
Speaker 2: big bat. Merrill gives up some bombs even though he's
Speaker 2: been pretty solid with the strikeout numbers, and you know
Speaker 2: he's a sneaky, cheap option. But I'm gonna go with
Speaker 2: Will Smith against my Diamondbacks tonight. I am going to
Speaker 2: go at your mouth. Though you might pick out your mouth,
Speaker 2: Kate my pick out your mouth, just please.
Speaker 1: Don't hit me. I'm gonna go a Freddy free I'm
Speaker 1: also going with a Dodger tonight against Merle. Everyone just
Speaker 1: just just piling up on poor Murle tonight. But give
Speaker 1: me Freddy Freeman. Man, I gotta get off the schnid
Speaker 1: and look at I see people talking trash. You know,
Speaker 1: I started slow last year in the home run contest too,
Speaker 1: and then I was running the table for a while.
Speaker 1: So it's okay. I'm like the mark to share of
Speaker 1: the uh slow start of the home run contest. Remember,
Speaker 1: have a big share would be terrible every April, and
Speaker 1: you can buy him low like clockwork. I love that guy.
Speaker 1: He's the best. You could get ninety percent of his
Speaker 1: stats in five months. Love that dude so good. Uh,
Speaker 1: it looks like Mike Mayer is going with Hunter Renfro
Speaker 1: who's been hot lately too. And once again now we're
Speaker 1: getting at the end of April. So if you want
Speaker 1: to make a home run call, you gotta go join
Speaker 1: our discord Fantasypros dot Com slash chat. That's the place
Speaker 1: to do it. You join the chat and if you

Speaker 1: gonna give away fabulous prices this year, which I'm very
Speaker 1: excited to sweet super excited. All right, So before we
Speaker 1: close things out today, this was a this was a
Speaker 1: wiz bang, jam packed kind of show boy.
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I feel like I go into the couple of rounds.
Speaker 1: Any final thoughts here, Welsh that on your mind that
Speaker 1: you want to share with me, or the rest of
Speaker 1: the Peanuts and Cracker Jackson.
Speaker 2: Watching a time on my mind? You know, just been
Speaker 2: one time as of recent just looking at that stuff.
Speaker 2: But no, I mean, I will say this, we are
Speaker 2: closely getting into and we are going to have to
Speaker 2: start talking about when victory lap season does begin, because
Speaker 2: I think everybody has wrongfully jokes aside with I don't
Speaker 2: know if everybody has the brain capacity to understand the
Speaker 2: Byron Bucks and joke element.
Speaker 1: Of it all.
Speaker 2: But you know, victory laps and you know, stomping on
Speaker 2: graves of players that didn't work out season. It's been premature,
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's still in this moment, it's premature,
Speaker 2: but we are getting closer.
Speaker 1: I thinkies are growing. I think Memorial Day, I think
Speaker 1: that's the perfect time because you could celebrate, you know,
Speaker 1: because it's right at the end of May, You've had
Speaker 1: two months. It's a good sample. You can crack open
Speaker 1: a cold one by the pool and celebrate that. By
Speaker 1: that time, you know, the pool season started to open
Speaker 1: up a little bit here on the East coast. And
Speaker 1: then I would say, yeah, well it's always pool season
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Yeah, And then I would say, on the
Speaker 1: flip side, also a Memorial Day where you can roast
Speaker 1: people on the barbecue, guys that are terrible and you
Speaker 1: just want to you know.
Speaker 2: But we're in that middle period. We're in that middle
Speaker 2: spot where it's starting to feel you know, it's starting
Speaker 2: to feel like, you know, these trends feel long. But
Speaker 2: also the last thing I would add that is why
Speaker 2: because we are in that halfway point where we can
Speaker 2: officially join into victory lap season. This is why that
Speaker 2: conversation from earlier about like Kyle Tucker trading for this
Speaker 2: is a good period for guys that have had these extents.
Speaker 2: I mean, look at Cody Bellinger. People were laughing, laughing
Speaker 2: themselves to sleep about how Cody Bellinger was done and
Speaker 2: he started to pick back up. But guys like Kyle
Speaker 2: Tucker haven't done that yet. So the opportunity is pretty
Speaker 2: good right now. So go and jump on at that
Speaker 2: midway point. Yeah, and witness another. I mean, I've got
Speaker 2: all the shares of Wit so i can't trade for him.
Speaker 2: But those are a couple of guys that you should
Speaker 2: go and do while we're in this period where people
Speaker 2: people will look, they'll see the sample size and they'll go, boy,
Speaker 2: this is a little bit more than that first week
Speaker 2: or two, and then the real panic starts to set
Speaker 2: in and things are going to start to turn over.
Speaker 2: So take advantage of it.
Speaker 1: You're a moment of zen. Everyone from the Welsh there.
