Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody to Fantasy Pros MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you by Prize Pigs. Sign up
Speaker 1: for Prize Pigs today and use that promo code leading Off.
Speaker 1: When you do. It's me Joey P. That of course
Speaker 1: is the Welsh, and what an amazing day here to
Speaker 1: come here and talk about historic choheo tani stuff. A
Speaker 1: little bittersweet because, as y'all might know, this is the
Speaker 1: last Leading Off of July for me, because it turns
Speaker 1: out that the trade deadline is not just for players,
Speaker 1: it's also for hosts. I'm officially being traded to betting
Speaker 1: pros and Fantasy pros for the remainder of the baseball season.
Speaker 1: This is a little emotional for me. I want to
Speaker 1: thank the Welsh, and I want to thank everybody here
Speaker 1: at Leading Off, and a shout out to Ethan who
Speaker 1: helped me take out a full page print Dad in
Speaker 1: the paper case you'd be it from Leading Off. Joey
Speaker 1: P bids farewell to Leading Off again. If you're just
Speaker 1: a listener of the show, I beg you to go
Speaker 1: over to the YouTube channel Fantasy Pros MO being watch
Speaker 1: today's show so you can see this amazing graphic. It
Speaker 1: is incredible, and yes it's true, Casey Bubba will be
Speaker 1: returning who everybody loves. Casey Bubba one of the contributors
Speaker 1: to the Black Book. One of our people here fantasy
Speaker 1: pros and we love so much, good personal friend of.
Speaker 2: Our Please read the I don'tuary, but it's like this,
Speaker 2: it's not individual.
Speaker 1: I will read it later because I know live, yeah, live,
Speaker 1: so we'll read it later. But again, I'm so proud
Speaker 1: of what we've done here. I want you to continue
Speaker 1: to support the show with Welsh at the reins because
Speaker 1: he does a phenomenal job. Welsh'll be doing a lot
Speaker 1: of football stuff for us too. A lot of things
Speaker 1: happening here, but Welsh, let's talk about Shoeltani because a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff happening yesterday. Mike Mahyer didn't start him
Speaker 1: yesterday in his league where data transactions with the double header,
Speaker 1: and neither did you, which is great, which makes it
Speaker 1: even better that this happened. So shoe Atani not one
Speaker 1: but two on runs in Game two after throwing a
Speaker 1: complete game shutout. It's the first time in the history
Speaker 1: of baseball that's ever happen. And some way through a
Speaker 1: shutout in a double lader and then hit two home
Speaker 1: runs in Game two. And then, by the way, how
Speaker 1: strange was it, Welsh that you saw him leave the
Speaker 1: game with a cramp when he grabbed his side. Did
Speaker 1: you not think it was an obliqu because I thought
Speaker 1: it was an oblique and I thought, oh my god,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I made this happens.
Speaker 2: All it had everything we had because and by the way,
Speaker 2: the Mayor thing was Mayor and I both had single
Speaker 2: move leagues, and we didn't put him in as a pitcher.
Speaker 2: We left him in a U. We were both so
Speaker 2: we were both sitting there in the chat like and
Speaker 2: then we got the two homers. So it had everything,
Speaker 2: the offense, the pitching, and then the injury. I mean,
Speaker 2: because the Massachus in all of us was like, what
Speaker 2: if he gets hurt after they made the move?
Speaker 1: What if it happens?
Speaker 2: I asked this question, We'll do it quick I asked
Speaker 2: this question to the CBS guys last night. This feat
Speaker 2: complete game, one hit, eight strikeout, plus two homers. When
Speaker 2: you think about the pantheon of baseball accomplishments, do you
Speaker 2: think this is bigger? Or I will do it quickly
Speaker 2: or the cycle.
Speaker 1: Oh, this, this is more impressive because the cycle's four
Speaker 1: at bats where everything goes your way. This is incredible.
Speaker 2: This or a no hitter this.
Speaker 1: This is harder. Again, this is harder. I think this
Speaker 1: or perfect or perfect game that is more unlikely, But
Speaker 1: I think this is harder. It's harder in the sense
Speaker 1: that you're asking somebody to do something so extraordinary and
Speaker 1: then to have the stamina to pitch a game and
Speaker 1: then go out there afterwards and take four at bats
Speaker 1: and hit two them runs. It's absurd. He is the
Speaker 1: greatest baseball player that ever lived, and you're all getting
Speaker 1: to watch him. I'm not saying he's the most prolific yet,
Speaker 1: but he's the greatest to ever play this game because
Speaker 1: nobody has been dominant the way he has not. Babe Ruth,
Speaker 1: you can talk about six hundred home runs, whatever it is.
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about seven to fourteen. I
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about all these things. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: if you had a draft right now and you had
Speaker 1: to take one person in the history of baseball for
Speaker 1: your for your baseball team to start it with, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you take the guy who's a dominant picture in
Speaker 1: a dominant here.
Speaker 2: Sure, put up, put up Pedro's comment, Hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: do it in my Alice Jones voy government's in here
Speaker 2: letting us know that aliens are we watch shown.
Speaker 1: Alien good stuff. I like, I like that those And yes,
Speaker 1: everyone's going to continue to support the Welsh obviously when
Speaker 1: I'm gone. And by the way, we're moving to a
Speaker 1: Monday Wednesday Friday schedule, so set yourself accordingly. Tuesday Thursdays.
Speaker 1: The boys are taking some days off leading off. Will
Speaker 1: be here Monday, Wednesday Friday, same bad time, same bad channel.
Speaker 1: We're not going away. We're just restructuring a little bit
Speaker 1: because it's that time of year where we have to.
Speaker 1: But we're not abandoning you. So many places, you know,
Speaker 1: they just abandoned baseball coverage, We're not going to do
Speaker 1: that to you here. Fantasy pros, We're never gonna do
Speaker 1: that to you here. And it's an amazing opportunity that
Speaker 1: we've got to do all this, But I mean, really
Speaker 1: on hold so much at one.
Speaker 2: Time, and this is on our amazing list because if
Speaker 2: they if they show out even harder, then you know,
Speaker 2: there's nothing bigger for next year, or there's no reason.
Speaker 2: We're not going to be bigger, better for next year.
Speaker 2: And you know, the more that you're here, the more
Speaker 2: that I can stay here, it would be great.
Speaker 1: I've also been Sy's way, crushing it. Joe as de
Speaker 1: Lee before the Angels prove him wrong one hundred percent right,
Speaker 1: Whips has got it.
Speaker 2: I'm also going to try to find a way. I
Speaker 2: have a few things in mind of how to keep
Speaker 2: Joe like fresh with us, so we can keep him
Speaker 2: with us a little bit, not just talking about bald heads,
Speaker 2: looking at Bubba's bald head. But we can keep going.
Speaker 1: But yet, well that's a good way. And Bubba's so great,
Speaker 1: and Bubba's so passionate, and I've done shows with Bubba.
Speaker 1: We used to do a daily DFS show together for
Speaker 1: a year and like Bubba's here, he's been part of
Speaker 1: the Fancy Bros. Family writing for stuff. Welsh has been
Speaker 1: working with him, so again, great stuff here. We've also
Speaker 1: got a trade. My Mets traded to the Marlins, so
Speaker 1: here we go in division. Trades don't matter, So the
Speaker 1: Mets deal closer David Robertson to the Miami Marlins, of
Speaker 1: all teams for infielder Marco Vargas and catching prospect Ronald Hernandez. Now,
Speaker 1: Vargas is interesting. He is again posting an eight ninety
Speaker 1: nine ohps over thirty three games. He's only eighteen years old.
Speaker 1: So he's just the boy. He's just the lad. He's
Speaker 1: at rookie level. He's a baby. Brooks Raley was the
Speaker 1: guy that actually took over for the save opportunity yesterday.
Speaker 1: So Welsh is Brooks the guy going forward?
Speaker 2: He might be, He might be, He might be the
Speaker 2: guy that you want to put a little bit of
Speaker 2: fab on. I think you have to at this moment,
Speaker 2: if you're doing it like right now, you got to
Speaker 2: speculate an out of Vino as well. But I think
Speaker 2: out of Vino I think you might have even said this,
Speaker 2: I don't even might get traded too, so you think so, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think you should probably put you know, your eggs
Speaker 2: in both those baskets because really might be the guy,
Speaker 2: because I think they could because out of Vino is
Speaker 2: just a free agent writer for this year, so it's
Speaker 2: a rental for anybody, and I think they will move him.
Speaker 2: So I would actually personally, if I'm doing it, I'm
Speaker 2: prioritizing really right now, I would go in on that
Speaker 2: if I'm looking for some saves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, understandably so, so get in now make these moves.
Speaker 1: Godai Senga in that same game, by the way, gave
Speaker 1: up one run over six innings, no decision. Josiah Gray
Speaker 1: was really good in that game too. Josiah Gray, I
Speaker 1: think has had a very underappreciated season twenty five years old.
Speaker 1: Now excuse me, three twenty seventy ra The whip is
Speaker 1: still a little high at one point four to one,
Speaker 1: but one hundred and two strikeouts and one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighteen innings fifty four walks, Like this is a guy.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's a good long term investment. Like
Speaker 1: I could see next year him taking another step, and
Speaker 1: as this team eventually brings up some of these prospects
Speaker 1: that are going to hit here, you could see Gray
Speaker 1: being a really interesting Dynasty by low Right now, I
Speaker 1: think that's a kid that I take on the cheap,
Speaker 1: and I think in dynasty leagues, Josiah Gray is a
Speaker 1: target of mine because I think it is a kid
Speaker 1: that you could see he's got that pitchability, he's got
Speaker 1: that factor of what made him a big time prospect,
Speaker 1: and I could see in two years from als going man,
Speaker 1: Josiah Gray turned out to be a pretty solid fantasy pitcher.
Speaker 1: What are your pitcher, What are your thoughts on acquiring
Speaker 1: him in dynasty leagues right now?
Speaker 2: I think Gray could get it. Greg's a really smart pitcher.
Speaker 2: I think Gray could end up being like a Mitch Keller,
Speaker 2: Like you know how we see Mitch Keller who's with
Speaker 2: the Pirates, and it comes up and down a little bit.
Speaker 2: Like He's a little bit up and down. Streaky, but
Speaker 2: very smart pitcher, good spin stuff. I wish he was
Speaker 2: on another team. I think it would be more exciting
Speaker 2: if he were almost anywhere else. But he's still a
Speaker 2: great person to buy in. I think there's a lot
Speaker 2: of these worst team good pitchers to buy in on
Speaker 2: right now, just to see what happens and see how
Speaker 2: the team redevelops. Gray would be in that group like
Speaker 2: treeque Schools like my number one by for next guy, good.
Speaker 1: Interesting pitchers, young enough to make strides, but already pitching
Speaker 1: at the big leagues on bad teams. Yeah, because those
Speaker 1: teams won't be bad forever theoretically, although I've said that
Speaker 1: about the Tigers for a certain five But we'll get
Speaker 1: to that in a second. Another trade, This one was
Speaker 1: predicted last week on the show. Well, actually, I think
Speaker 1: it was pretty good this week by me. When Carlos
Speaker 1: Santana had that with that Towo home game, whatever he had,
Speaker 1: I said, that guy's going. He's definitely going. And where
Speaker 1: did he go in division? That's right, the Pirates send
Speaker 1: him to the Brewers. It's a good addition for him.
Speaker 1: I think the Brewers did well here. Santana, a veteran
Speaker 1: batt gets on base. That's been a problem with times
Speaker 1: for that offense, So a good move there. Ten Or
Speaker 1: Bobby three runs over six and two third for win
Speaker 1: over the White Sox. Some injury news, well, ssh to
Speaker 1: get to Brandon Woodruff allowed one run in four innings
Speaker 1: yesterday in his minor leg rehab start. Starling Marte still
Speaker 1: not close to returning. I think a second opinion with
Speaker 1: the Migraines. This stinks for the Mets though, because this
Speaker 1: was a piece that I think a lot of teams
Speaker 1: will be interested in. Marte is a guy with power,
Speaker 1: with speed, with the ability to get hot and go
Speaker 1: on a real dominant run. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: a team's still willing to trade for a guy with
Speaker 1: a migraine issue, but I think I.
Speaker 2: Don't think so, They're just gonna have to move. They're
Speaker 2: gonna move Kana and and then that leads to Ronnie
Speaker 2: Maricio coming back up. So again, what is the speculates
Speaker 2: I'm Runnie Mauricio for time, but yeah, they're there's you know,
Speaker 2: the the buy sell market is so weird right now,
Speaker 2: Like I didn't expect the Marlins to be buyers. You know.
Speaker 2: We we did an IL show yesterday talking about and
Speaker 2: speculating all the teams and I wasn't really even thinking
Speaker 2: about it, and we talked about the Red Sox and
Speaker 2: someone was kind of like I would the Red Sox
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. They're better record than Diamondbacks, and it
Speaker 2: was like, but also their fourth in the division and
Speaker 2: they just sold off. Like It's very strange what the
Speaker 2: movement of teams are and how many teams are really sellers,
Speaker 2: and just how much more aggressive I think teams need
Speaker 2: to be if they want to get into this buying
Speaker 2: market right now, because the Marlins are out punching people
Speaker 2: right now, which is weird.
Speaker 1: Mauricio, by the way, roster In just twenty six percent
Speaker 1: of leagues right now. Yeah, I mean he's a great
Speaker 1: twenty percent of them right now are dynasty only. Like
Speaker 1: that's that's the whole point. Zach Eflin could make his
Speaker 1: next start off. The MRI on his knee didn't reveal anything,
Speaker 1: made sure, that's good. Did I tell you this? So
Speaker 1: the last thing I can I can tell you didn't
Speaker 1: tell me because you're exited about it, and.
Speaker 2: I would I told somebody, but I must have told
Speaker 2: a bogg couldn't have been me. So the trade video,
Speaker 2: I did my final trade video doing those all year.
Speaker 2: I hope you guys enjoyed those. We did waivers and
Speaker 2: Joe and I did wade.
Speaker 1: Because the trade deadlines come to an end. Here this
Speaker 1: is the end game of baseball season here exactly.
Speaker 2: We're still here for you. But this was like guys
Speaker 2: to target for the end of the year. And I'll
Speaker 2: tell you guys this because he's not the video. I
Speaker 2: put Zach Efflin in the video and then as I
Speaker 2: got finished, I was like, Aha, look at me, I'm
Speaker 2: all done, done for the year. Here he goes, here
Speaker 2: go editors. Zach Eflin gets hurt, he got shelled and
Speaker 2: then got hurt, and I went, we gotta take him out.
Speaker 2: We gotta take him out. But to the point prior
Speaker 2: to the injury here, yeah, well, I'm committed to it.
Speaker 2: Prior to the injury, he got a point three to
Speaker 2: one walk per nine over the last thirty days and
Speaker 2: had the number one war among all pictures. His CA
Speaker 2: percentage was going up. The win loss I think was
Speaker 2: keeping him maybe down a tiny bit more. But he
Speaker 2: had just been so good and just one of those
Speaker 2: guys that is not viewed in the upper range of pictures.
Speaker 2: I'm saying all this to say that injury brought him
Speaker 2: back down a little bit because he got banged up
Speaker 2: a little bit. He was on a tear. I know,
Speaker 2: I gotta get him for dirt cheap at my fantasy deadline.
Speaker 2: I would take the risk right now because he was
Speaker 2: in the video, But I took him out because he
Speaker 2: got hurt, and that would just be silly.
Speaker 1: But we're going back, yes, and so everybody knows. I
Speaker 1: will probably resign again with leading off in January, probably,
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, I think it's a pretty
Speaker 1: good chance. Could you know where else would I want
Speaker 1: to be? You know? So I'm gonna go be the
Speaker 1: hired gun for football season. But don't worry everybody, I'll
Speaker 1: be back.
Speaker 2: Let's go want me you gotta stay if you want
Speaker 2: me back too.
Speaker 1: By the way, Barron Buckston's back speaking of people being
Speaker 1: back too, so now he gives them back and strike
Speaker 1: out five times today. I can't wait. Can we talk
Speaker 1: about Tray Cabbage? I could come. I want to talk
Speaker 1: about Tray Cabbage because Tray Cabage twenty six years old,
Speaker 1: Triple A this year two eighty seven, batting average, three
Speaker 1: fifty eight OVP five to seventy six, slugging, twenty three
Speaker 1: bombs and twenty four steals. Where did Tray Cabbage come from?
Speaker 1: This ball? He's got nine Major league games under his belt.
Speaker 1: Are you picking up the cabbage?
Speaker 2: Yeah? The cabbage is actually.
Speaker 1: Trying to harvest the cabbage. I've been waiting my whole
Speaker 1: life to say that.
Speaker 2: I don't like that.
Speaker 1: I want to harvest the cabbage.
Speaker 2: I don't like that one a lot.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, love it.
Speaker 2: Trey Cabbage to me is very similar to like Christian
Speaker 2: Walker some years back. If you remember, Christia Walker was
Speaker 2: like twenty seven, twenty six, twenty seven going into Triple A.
Speaker 2: This is obviously a much older play who's drafted in
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. He had been in the miners for eight years.
Speaker 2: That would put probably seven full season years.
Speaker 1: Huge hard hit, wasn't that Wit mirrorfield too. He was
Speaker 1: in the miners forever. Some of those guys all the hit,
Speaker 1: nobody thought he would do ever sustained, and then he
Speaker 1: was an All Star for a couple of years. I mean,
Speaker 1: this does happen. It's not. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: This is Christian Walker to me though, because it like
Speaker 2: but Walker I had better played discipline. But this year,
Speaker 2: every single night, if you do the Baseball Savant like
Speaker 2: game feed for minor leaguers, which you can do every
Speaker 2: single night in the miners, it's one hundred and sixteen,
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen by a cabin. He is absolutely
Speaker 2: smacking the ball. The problem is he's got a forty
Speaker 2: K rate in the majors right now. He's a k liability.
Speaker 2: He's not the best contact hitter. He's just a huge
Speaker 2: power guy. It's kind of like the Jared Walsh stuff,
Speaker 2: like maybe Jared Walsh had a little bit more contact
Speaker 2: less power. He gets zipped out DFA. They're going to
Speaker 2: just give cabbage a run for the rest of the year.
Speaker 2: He's just a great speculative power by in this lineup.
Speaker 2: I'm totally cool with it for maybe deeper leagues. I
Speaker 2: don't know about twelve because I think the k's are
Speaker 2: going to be a problem. But he is a total
Speaker 2: pop up name that's probably just sitting out there for you.
Speaker 1: Agreed.
Speaker 2: I And in the long line of food based players,
Speaker 2: I'm very interested in food based players. Bog and I
Speaker 2: have been having these discussions about players with food names, and.
Speaker 1: He is who comes to mind.
Speaker 2: Man, it's it just completely went out my brain because
Speaker 2: there's David Frye. So there's David Frye.
Speaker 1: Who's up with Jeff Frye also too with another fry.
Speaker 2: Yep, we have fries and they all escaped me right now.
Speaker 2: Mia Ham, Okay, well, I'm taking baseball players. If we
Speaker 2: want to have a very open Thanksgiving here, we can
Speaker 2: have lots and lots of Julius peppers.
Speaker 1: We need, you know, there's a lot of them.
Speaker 2: Chat come in the chat with the baseball ones. Buckman
Speaker 2: and I did this. We had like almost a whole meal.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Jake Berger. Jake Berger was one of the biggest reasons
Speaker 2: behind it. So you've got Jake Berger, we had fry
Speaker 2: and there's others. So put your food based players in and.
Speaker 1: There you go. All right, let's continue on here. Three
Speaker 1: up and three down. Speaking of Jake Berger too, homers yesterday.
Speaker 1: He's up to twenty four Welsh. I didn't have twenty
Speaker 1: four BOMs for Jake Berger on my Bengo guard, but
Speaker 1: I'm here for it.
Speaker 2: It's exciting playing second base. He played second base yesterday.
Speaker 2: He is the White Sox Max months yees.
Speaker 1: After the trade deadline, he's gonna have to go go
Speaker 1: throw three or four innings because these guys are gonna
Speaker 1: be gone. Taylor Ward homer twice too, just for my
Speaker 1: last day. Thanks Taylor Ward, you could suck on it.
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfell, by the way, with Celco six for nine
Speaker 1: with a homer and the doubleheader. Good day for all
Speaker 1: the Angels. And I mean, well, I still can't get
Speaker 1: over when he was grabbing his side there, I literally
Speaker 1: I felt so physically. Ut I just felt like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I.
Speaker 2: Was doing a show with Bagman and he goes Otani
Speaker 2: just grabbed his whatever, and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: this is this is the nightmare. Of nine, it would
Speaker 2: have been bunny, but it's hilarious, the most chaotic twenty
Speaker 2: four hours of Like, the team doesn't get rid of him,
Speaker 2: sells to minor league guys to get more players. He
Speaker 2: has a historic day and then gets hurt. You couldn't
Speaker 2: have scripted it would be a black mirror episode for I.
Speaker 1: Mean, from for ten seconds, let's live in the moment
Speaker 1: that that happened. Bill Plashki wrote a great article if
Speaker 1: you haven't go see it, it's on the La Times,
Speaker 1: Bill Plaski's great sports writers, about what a disastrous idea
Speaker 1: this is. Basically, he basically was obviously he's a fan
Speaker 1: of the show. When he's hurt me basically wrote a
Speaker 1: giant article of the La Times about why this is
Speaker 1: such terrible idea, what they're doing, and why this short term,
Speaker 1: you know, catering to the moment is going to long
Speaker 1: term set this organization back further. And he's one hundred
Speaker 1: percent right, But oh my god, that that horrible, terrible
Speaker 1: ten seconds of him grabbing his side at the edd.
Speaker 1: I just can't get over it.
Speaker 2: But you know, the only thing I meant to ask
Speaker 2: you yesterday, the only thing we've never discussed in this
Speaker 2: what if it works, Like this is a hail Mary
Speaker 2: shot to bring him back. What if it worked they
Speaker 2: got to the playoffs and they won under O Tawny
Speaker 2: and they were able to re sign him based off
Speaker 2: of all that, What if you had a two percent
Speaker 2: chance to bring him back as the maybe the greatest
Speaker 2: player we've ever seen in baseball? Isn't it worth more
Speaker 2: to take that two percent chance that you could instead
Speaker 2: of a one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Well, this isn't Little Giants, this isn't the sand lot,
Speaker 1: this isn't Mighty Ducks. This is real life. And yeah,
Speaker 1: sometimes that stuff happens, but baseball is trickier, the gauntlet
Speaker 1: of the playoffs of baseball. With a rotation, you need
Speaker 1: to be really good the three deep and a bullpen
Speaker 1: that's really reliable and proven. That's been a lot. Look,
Speaker 1: I want I told you I want it to be
Speaker 1: because I think it'd be. I want to see Sho
Speaker 1: hail Tani play in the World Series. I think that
Speaker 1: is going down. My ratings for that would be off
Speaker 1: the charts. I'm here for it. I want it to happen.
Speaker 1: I'm just the cranky old guy that's telling you they're
Speaker 1: going to live to regret this decision. That's all.
Speaker 2: I have an idea. If the Angels make the playoffs,
Speaker 2: you and I do a live stream during the episode.
Speaker 2: We'll get we'll figure it out. Oh you're the game
Speaker 2: of the episode. Yeah, while the game is going on,
Speaker 2: you're we're a companion broadcast as they've made the playoffs
Speaker 2: if they make the playoffs, because they'll probably play in
Speaker 2: like a you know, like what is it the play
Speaker 2: in game or whatever, like, you and I will do
Speaker 2: a live stream during what during that game if they
Speaker 2: make the playoffs? Can you agree to that?
Speaker 1: I will absolutely agree to that because I think that
Speaker 1: would be super fun. Sorry, yes, yes, let's go. Let's
Speaker 1: do it. Let's also do the downs. Dylan Cease he
Speaker 1: could be gone to four runs, five and two thirds
Speaker 1: and lost to the Guardians. Matt Manning we just talked
Speaker 1: about yesterday. He got his doors, blowing off seven runs
Speaker 1: in five innings against the Angels, and set your watch
Speaker 1: to it. Javier by as over four to three. K's
Speaker 1: chef's kiss. Thank you, Javier. Now before we get into
Speaker 1: the prize picks, now, I know that everybody's joined us again.
Speaker 1: Leading off, starting Monday Casey Bubba will indeed be here.
Speaker 1: The trade is confirmed. It has happened. It'll be a
Speaker 1: Monday show, a Wednesday show, a Friday show with the
Speaker 1: Welsh running the show Bubba. So he's just gonna switch it.
Speaker 1: It'll be a bald guy in that square in this square.
Speaker 1: This square, it's like opposite. Yeah, in this square there
Speaker 1: will be a bald guy. Well, sh'll be over in
Speaker 1: this square where I am here. But again, I wanted
Speaker 1: to take out an ad in the player's tribune. Do
Speaker 1: you want to read this in the old timey voice?
Speaker 1: Should we do this? They say?
Speaker 3: In baseball things must come to an end, And unfortunately
Speaker 3: that day as a rive. Robert Loved podcast host Joey
Speaker 3: P as the sun sets out his illustrious career covering
Speaker 3: MLB on leading Off in twenty twenty three week, can
Speaker 3: only help but feel a mixture of sadness and excitement
Speaker 3: for the journey that lies ahead. Today mark's the final
Speaker 3: show of the season, but fil not baseball fans, as
Speaker 3: our show must go on with fresh new lineup for
Speaker 3: countless mornings. Joey P's voice has filled the airwaves, weaving
Speaker 3: his love and passion for the game with the.
Speaker 1: Hearts of his audience. So there you go. You can
Speaker 1: read more on page three, but again, I'll hopefully.
Speaker 2: That's where you mentioned me and you talk about all
Speaker 2: the great stuff I've done, Joe.
Speaker 1: I just asked Ethan to do this thing and shout
Speaker 1: out to Ethan for doing it on short notice in
Speaker 1: like an hour, and it looks fantastic and it's hilarious
Speaker 1: and it's funny because I'm screaming and it's back to football.
Speaker 1: But it's it's not like I even't stopped doing football,
Speaker 1: but everybody knows betting Pros were doing amazing stuff there.
Speaker 1: This year, we're gonna be doing a dedicated NFL show
Speaker 1: five days a week. Go subscribe to Betting Pros NFL.
Speaker 1: It's going to be just like this. It's going to
Speaker 1: be a show where we talk NFL, we talk about betting.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a community. It's gonna be some live
Speaker 1: stuff in there too. So if you're a big fantasy person,
Speaker 1: if you're a big betting person, if you just love football,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great channel and stay here because again,
Speaker 1: we're not abandoning baseball and fantasy pross, just changing and
Speaker 1: You know what else is something that never changes. It's
Speaker 1: always going to be here for you. I don't price picks.
Speaker 1: Sign up for prize picks today. Use that promo code
Speaker 1: leading off. When you do get one hundred percent to pauseit,
Speaker 1: match up to one hundred dollars. Well, pick some prizes
Speaker 1: for the people.
Speaker 2: All right, God, we have got to go out with
Speaker 2: a bang with Joe leaving for at least this season here.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to go with a big strikeout total one.
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Gossman Lucas g Aledo strikeout combo.
Speaker 2: I think Lucas Giolito is gonna come out swanging in
Speaker 2: this one. I also don't hate the strikeout individually, but
Speaker 2: Gossman angels. That's kind of a match made in strikeout heaven.
Speaker 2: Go with gi Aledo thirteen and a half. It's a
Speaker 2: huge number, but you're talking about averaging seven apiece, very
Speaker 2: doable here, and then fantasy scores Julio at seven and
Speaker 2: a half up against Tommy Henry m and Corbyn Carroll
Speaker 2: because Corbyn Carroll. So those are going to be my
Speaker 2: three for this bad boy.
Speaker 1: I think it would be funny if if Bubba cast
Speaker 1: a miss a show. Then maybe you do have cousin
Speaker 1: Donnie on who knows very little about baseball. But if
Speaker 1: we can keep them clean, maybe as a guest spot,
Speaker 1: maybe one day could be I don't know, we'll see
Speaker 1: prize picks for me Brox and Garrett. Five and a
Speaker 1: half pitcher strikeouts over against the t Grays, Max suers
Speaker 1: are against his old team, six strikeouts over against the Nats,
Speaker 1: and Mookie bets all over us today going out with
Speaker 1: a bang eight and a half hitter fantasy score. There
Speaker 1: you have it. Some bets for today, the Rays, Twins,
Speaker 1: and Yankees on the money line. You could put them
Speaker 1: all together get a better number, or bet them individually.
Speaker 1: But my favorite thing to do is go with the
Speaker 1: Coal over on the strikeouts and the Yankees to win
Speaker 1: against the Orioles. I know they're playing the Orioles and
Speaker 1: the Eros have been really good and Grayson Rodriguez is
Speaker 1: pitching on the other side, but I'm gonna put my
Speaker 1: faith in Coal. Yankees are frustrating, still waiting on return news.
Speaker 1: By the way, we still haven't heard anything about Judge yet.
Speaker 1: If that breaks, it.
Speaker 2: Was actually available on price picks today.
Speaker 1: Funny I know I saw that, and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's tick the under before. He doesn't play a lot
Speaker 1: on Welsh. What do you have betting lives for the
Speaker 1: good people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'd have to actually play. So one of my
Speaker 2: favorite bets. It's already in the betting pros group. I
Speaker 2: made it last night. I made a couple of these
Speaker 2: bets to lock them in. Houston Tampa Bay total runs
Speaker 2: through the first five over, and it's McClanahan and Javier,
Speaker 2: but both have been given up runs lately. I actually
Speaker 2: like this one a pretty decent amount to get the
Speaker 2: over four and a half, so essentially betting on five
Speaker 2: runs through the first five Houston Tampa Bay. I'm also
Speaker 2: got a little hits parlay for you, Corby Carroll Mookie
Speaker 2: bets just to get a hit. It's just a tiny
Speaker 2: bit under one to one, so you're paying a little
Speaker 2: bit of juice for it, but it's too good. And
Speaker 2: then I'm going with one of my first three innings.
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Mets and the Nationals through the
Speaker 2: first three innings to score less than two and a
Speaker 2: half runs. That one was even money last night. I
Speaker 2: like that one. Mackenzie Gore on the back half of
Speaker 2: after the first time through the rotation gets a lot worse.
Speaker 2: I think you got Schreersuer in there. So I'm very
Speaker 2: much about this one through essentially going through the first
Speaker 2: lineup and just mowing them down. So under two and
Speaker 2: a half runs for that. Those are my three bets
Speaker 2: for today. Let's rock it.
Speaker 1: I'm getting sentimental now. People are saying nice things in
Speaker 1: the chat ye again, and you know I love all
Speaker 1: these people.
Speaker 2: Everyone should know. I also kind of fought a little
Speaker 2: bit to try to convince Joe to but it's out
Speaker 2: of his sting.
Speaker 1: The other thing, too, is what happens in August is this, folks,
Speaker 1: is that my kids are off from school for another month. Here.
Speaker 1: July is always very busy doing baseball and football shows
Speaker 1: and betting shows. I've been doing MMA shows lately. I've
Speaker 1: been doing soccer shows. I'm doing all kinds of crazy things.
Speaker 1: I need a little time, a little reset from my
Speaker 1: brain and spend some time with the kiddos and family
Speaker 1: and doing some things like that in August so that
Speaker 1: I'm ready for what comes in, you know, fall, which
Speaker 1: is wall to wall football. As we all know. I
Speaker 1: mean that moves the needle here more than anything else.
Speaker 1: So it's good. I need a little break otherwise I
Speaker 1: get burned out. But I'm gonna miss all of you.
Speaker 1: I am so proud of this channel. This is the
Speaker 1: little engine that could, And the only reason it does
Speaker 1: is because of the Welsh, and because of Kelly Kirby,
Speaker 1: and because of Mike maher sorta, and because of all
Speaker 1: of you. It's the Peanuts and the Crackerjacks. It's the Cody's,
Speaker 1: it's the Richies, it's the Lee's, it's the you know,
Speaker 1: the Survivors. There's all of you out there who the JP's,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know who you are, Lee, all these
Speaker 1: folks that would join us every single day here Fetacini, Alfredo, Cousin,
Speaker 1: Donnie like It's it's such a fun group. And I
Speaker 1: always said this. I think the community is just important.
Speaker 1: The content is important, the entertainment's important. And all of
Speaker 1: you guys and gals who meet here every day or
Speaker 1: listen to the show on the podcast version. People said
Speaker 1: this could not be done with a baseball show. We said, yes,
Speaker 1: it can give us a couple of years to prove it.
Speaker 1: And to blames credit and Fantasy Pro's credit, they Chris's
Speaker 1: credit They've let us try and we've crushed it, and
Speaker 1: you golf crushed it, and I want to keep crushing
Speaker 1: it the rest of the season. And I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that Welsh gets some a Arizona Fall League
Speaker 1: stuff for you guys in the off season here on the.
Speaker 2: Actually I want to announce it here, but I had there.
Speaker 2: There might be more off season baseball stuff that you
Speaker 2: guys haven't had the past because I'm around, So we'll
Speaker 2: announce that when we get closer. Everything is good, everything's
Speaker 2: it's all good.
Speaker 1: Dash it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good time.
Speaker 1: Continuing on here, don't forget also speaking good times. You
Speaker 1: know it, I know it. So rare MLB. It's fantasy,
Speaker 1: it's free, it's card. It's fantasypros dot Com slash collect join.
Speaker 1: Now look at that show, hel Tani. Hurry, get your show,
Speaker 1: Heltani a card as the Angels before it becomes the
Speaker 1: Dodgers of the Yankees next year or whatever the heck
Speaker 1: gets are going to become. The Mets are gonna spend
Speaker 1: a Steve Cohen after disappointing season and a lot on
Speaker 1: a big checkbook. Who knows he might go out and
Speaker 1: sign Sodo and you just say, screw it, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have a five hundred million dollar pay roll. I just
Speaker 1: don't care. It's not impossible.
Speaker 2: How much do you have to pay, by the way,
Speaker 2: for that penalty, like another five hundred million dollars?
Speaker 1: What does he care? Yeah? I get if I was
Speaker 1: the Mets owner and I had an unlimited money and
Speaker 1: money was not an object. I haven't seen a World
Speaker 1: Series since I was eight years old. I mean, why not,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, okay, I mean I would hire you
Speaker 1: as general manager. I hire Nick Pollock too. He's a
Speaker 1: good baseball mind. And maybe EO we get EO in
Speaker 1: we get a little brain trust. How fun would that
Speaker 1: be if I was the owner of a team, we
Speaker 1: get a bunch of Really, You'd be the prospect guy.
Speaker 1: Nick would be the pitching guru. Ino would be the
Speaker 1: numbers guy. And then you know, I'd go hire Joey Vado.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: O oh of an organization, we'd have all right DFS pitchers.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them today, So stay with me.
Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler is not pitched well, so I'm fading him
Speaker 1: at ten six. He's pitched well. The Philly let me
Speaker 1: rephrase the Phillies are struggling offensively. The last week of
Speaker 1: casting Gatilson, Shoreber, they have slugging percentages under two hundred.
Speaker 1: It's a horrendous situation right now. Braxic Garrett nine point six.
Speaker 1: More intriguing. Kevin Gosman in that same game on the
Speaker 1: other side of Wheeler ten point nine. More intriguing to me.
Speaker 1: Sunday Grade at ten point one. I just wonder about
Speaker 1: the offense putting up runs. Shane McClanahan nine point nine.
Speaker 1: You can go against Avier, I think that's fine. Jordan
Speaker 1: Montgomery maybe his last start at nine point four. I'm
Speaker 1: in for that one, and I'm in for Musgrove at
Speaker 1: nine point eight. So Musgrove, McClanahan, and Montgomery, the three Ms,
Speaker 1: those are the ones I'm really focusing on today. I
Speaker 1: think they have the best opportunity Stacks, Mets, Braves, Dodgers
Speaker 1: Values Crawford at the top of that order for Seattle,
Speaker 1: Tyler O'Neil in the middle of it for the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: and Max Kepler two point eight in the middle for
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twinkies. My home run call in perpetuity. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna be Altani as fun as that would be.
Speaker 1: That's kind of that's two passe. I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 1: Let's go with Matt Olson instead, go with Matt Olsen
Speaker 1: and the Braves to just keep rolling. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: my dude for the weekend and going forward. Welsh, who's
Speaker 1: your home run call for the day? What do you have?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go over for the weekend. I'm gonna rock
Speaker 2: with Ronald same team. Yeah, there you go, all brave,
Speaker 2: all razor at the top of that home run boards,
Speaker 2: at the top thirty eight of all the people want
Speaker 2: cart there. I'm still not it's lame again.
