Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is leading
Speaker 1: off live. It is me, Joey p Joep's Apia with me.
Speaker 1: Of course is the Welsh, and it's all of you,
Speaker 1: the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks. Here. We got a
Speaker 1: lot of baseball to talk about, and an ace is
Speaker 1: named to the WBC. Paul Skeens twenty twenty six WBC.
Speaker 1: I like the WBC. I know some people don't Welsh.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you stand on, and I like
Speaker 1: more baseball. That's good for me. I know sometimes it
Speaker 1: throws a little bit of a wrench into draft plans,
Speaker 1: and some other injuries can happen here and there, But overall,
Speaker 1: I think it's fun. I think it's good for baseball,
Speaker 1: and I like that it's not something you see every
Speaker 1: single year, makes it a little bit more special. What
Speaker 1: do you think about the schemes as the ace of
Speaker 1: the WBC announcement It just came through the wire.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. I love the WBC, like also
Speaker 2: selfishly because they'll do games out here in Arizona. I
Speaker 2: love the you know, the country versus country. I love
Speaker 2: the guys that are jumping in the Super teams, it
Speaker 2: is a little odd. I will say though that like
Speaker 2: you had like what was it a couple of years
Speaker 2: ago with like Otani and Trout and like they wanted
Speaker 2: that more than they wanted anything like It's it's maybe
Speaker 2: not the best look ever where WBC is like felt
Speaker 2: bigger than making it to the majors or winning in
Speaker 2: the regular season or in some degree even some playoffs
Speaker 2: games like the World Series owns its own thing. But
Speaker 2: like if you had I'll bet you if you pulled
Speaker 2: a bunch of players and you were like, would you
Speaker 2: rather win the wild card round with your team or
Speaker 2: would you rather win the WBC, I don't think it
Speaker 2: would be unanimously moving through to the next round in
Speaker 2: the playoffs like, but at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: the WBC is like incredible to watch in fun and
Speaker 2: looks like USA USA USA is building another powerhouse which
Speaker 2: we love to see, which will probably lose in the championship.
Speaker 1: Probably will or even ahead of time to the Dominican
Speaker 1: Republic or do you Japan or somewhere It was either.
Speaker 2: Would you play for Team Italy? You would play for
Speaker 2: You're a definitely play for Team Italy guy instead.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I would. I would because I feel
Speaker 1: like because then I get to go to Italy for
Speaker 1: all the press conference stuff and doing that fun stuff
Speaker 1: where they probably tore you around Italy. So just for
Speaker 1: the trip alone, hanging out. Yeah, medium pizza, bala. The
Speaker 1: good time, isn't it. It's funny Chicago has produced a
Speaker 1: pupe before it produced a four thousand yard passer. I
Speaker 1: thought that was kind of an interesting, fun little stat
Speaker 1: nugget for you.
Speaker 2: Oh you like that ugget.
Speaker 1: There's all that on the football pod this week, except
Speaker 1: all right, let's get after the baseball stuff. Finally, the
Speaker 1: Yakunia has come back to rehab assignment. That's like Tuesday,
Speaker 1: That's right. Today begins minor league rehab assignment for Rondacunia.
Speaker 1: Thank god. I was starting to wonder if we're ever
Speaker 1: going to get him. I was, I was getting a
Speaker 1: little crazy here. So it's the thirteenth of May. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna set the date June sixth over under we see
Speaker 1: Ronald Acunya. So weird.
Speaker 2: It's a random day.
Speaker 1: No, it's not. It's a Friday. It's a Friday. It's
Speaker 1: it's three full weeks basically of rehab Simon, which is
Speaker 1: typically what you get spring training right three weeks. The
Speaker 1: guys really don't take it seriously in the first couple
Speaker 1: of days, and certainly the last week they don't take seriously.
Speaker 1: But there's a good three weeks where they're taking at
Speaker 1: bats and fielding seriously.
Speaker 2: I am gonna go I'm gonna go with the under
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna say a guy like Ronald Dacuna
Speaker 2: is not going to do a full two week rehab
Speaker 2: stint because he's starting it today. I'm gonna say that
Speaker 2: it's two weeks and then he's up in the majors.
Speaker 2: It is surprising. I feel like it's a little bit
Speaker 2: weirder nowadays, where you would have guys just pressed longer
Speaker 2: and longer and longer. But look at like Jackson Merrily
Speaker 2: and know it's a little bit different. But like Jackson
Speaker 2: Merril came out and was like a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you darvish they're talking about him potentially not even
Speaker 2: having a rehab stint and coming back. So I just
Speaker 2: don't know if they're gonna want to waste those bullets,
Speaker 2: uh for three to four weeks if he starting now,
Speaker 2: if they were like, you know, you run around maybe
Speaker 2: next week. I like, that's a different story. He've be's starting
Speaker 2: it today. I think it's probably at most a two
Speaker 2: week stent, even though he has missed the time. And
Speaker 2: I think you get him ready at the major league
Speaker 2: level because that team can use him. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go with an under, probably right around the end of May,
Speaker 2: maybe right at the beginning of June, and let's lock
Speaker 2: it up to maybe like a home series somewhere around there.
Speaker 2: I'm not looking at the schedule, but I'll take your under.
Speaker 1: All right. Ah wow, look at this early in the morning.
Speaker 1: Welsh On the positive side, this is great. I love this.
Speaker 1: Let's get mad on the mounds question more enjoy p
Speaker 1: and Welsh. I got Lawler in my na spot. But
Speaker 1: who should I drop? I got Tyler, O'Neil Friedel Stott, Volpi, Colic.
Speaker 1: I don't want to drop Stott. I know that Colic
Speaker 1: start last week was fun.
Speaker 2: Bye bye Colick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's gotta be Colex. He see and
Speaker 1: Huck Finn is appreciating my tombstone shirt. Today. I got
Speaker 1: my I'm your Huckleberry shirt.
Speaker 2: Oh that is a nice I'm doing.
Speaker 1: Johnny Cash and I saw the Johnny cash one when
Speaker 1: you I noticed it right away. Tombstone probably top three
Speaker 1: all time favorite movies for me, just and Val Kilmer's
Speaker 1: performance just probably all time top five performances. Ever, no
Speaker 1: awards for it, nothing, some awards is gonna go to
Speaker 1: the Bronx Bombers. Last night, Aaron Judge four times he
Speaker 1: reached base. Trent Grisham hit two home runs. Trent Grisham,
Speaker 1: is it just I don't know what to say anymore
Speaker 1: about Trent Grisham. Alston Wells is the three run homers,
Speaker 1: so that's been good because he was struggling at the
Speaker 1: end of April, but May seems to be putting him
Speaker 1: back on track. But well, Trent Grisham has got to
Speaker 1: be one of the oddest stories that you've ever seen in.
Speaker 2: It's funny that you brought it up. It's not funny
Speaker 2: because like, uh, he had like a big game yesterday
Speaker 2: in his season. But my friend and friend of the show,
Speaker 2: Dennis Sidler, who owned Sid's Grafts, who we've done some
Speaker 2: cool stuff with, he had actually done a signing with
Speaker 2: Trent Grisham a couple of years ago. And then you know,
Speaker 2: Grisham just stunk, just fell off the earth and I
Speaker 2: hit him up last night when I saw the two homers,
Speaker 2: and I was like, is Grisham? Like, is stuff moving?
Speaker 2: And he's like, people are back in on Trent Grisham,
Speaker 2: and it's so weird. The profile looks absolutely elite. He
Speaker 2: used to be a guy that would you know, he'd
Speaker 2: barrel up the ball and get it in the air,
Speaker 2: and you know, we thought the maybe the contact skills
Speaker 2: are better than they were, but now it looks ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Seventeen percent barrel forty eight almost forty nine percent hard
Speaker 2: hit rate. Those two combos, those are the underlying of
Speaker 2: what like Michael Tolio was doing last year as far
Speaker 2: as power goes. Yet he's striking out only eighteen percent
Speaker 2: of the time, lowest of his career, double digit walks,
Speaker 2: He's getting the ball at a launch angle of over
Speaker 2: twenty degrees. It looks so absurd, it doesn't seem like
Speaker 2: it can continue. But at the same time, this has
Speaker 2: been going for the entire season. Trent Grisham is going
Speaker 2: to leave this year with like a twenty five home
Speaker 2: run season.
Speaker 1: Would you think it's for him? Somebody wants to know
Speaker 1: in redraft, would you make that swap.
Speaker 2: Probably yeah, like a twelve team. Even to be honest
Speaker 2: with you, he is too good. It's weird. He doesn't
Speaker 2: steal anymore either. Zero steals he had fifteen two years ago.
Speaker 2: But the profile just works here. He's figured something out.
Speaker 2: He'll come back down to earth. But guess what what
Speaker 2: is he hitting right now?
Speaker 1: To eighty eight?
Speaker 2: Is x ya to eighty seven? The what's up?
Speaker 1: How many homers? Is trenkursham up two twelve?
Speaker 2: He's twelve homers twelve O twelve. If he finishes the
Speaker 2: year two sixty with twenty five homers, what can we
Speaker 2: complain about at this point? Like this profile looks real.
Speaker 1: Uh. Speaking of the Brave schedule, because you mentioned it
Speaker 1: with Akunya, I did look at it. The twenty seven,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty ninth on the road against Philadelphia at the
Speaker 1: end of May, and then on the thirtieth that weekend
Speaker 1: going in you have the Boston Red Sox at home,
Speaker 1: so maybe against the Phillies.
Speaker 2: That's what's the first game against the Red Sox the.
Speaker 1: Thirtieth, But the Phillies are start on Tuesday, the twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: and May off day on the Monday. But I'm just
Speaker 1: saying that Philly series would be more important to that
Speaker 1: that division is tight, very.
Speaker 2: Very very true. But I'm gonna say May thirtieth is
Speaker 2: now my official guest for Acunya.
Speaker 1: Also tied my pockets because they're they're they're empty because
Speaker 1: yesterday all the bets went wrong. Paul Skeens pitched well,
Speaker 1: should have won, didn't win. Mets way to go. I'm
Speaker 1: happy they got the win, but you know, come on,
Speaker 1: could you get thrown me a bone here? Jackson job?
Speaker 1: I was going against him and he had his best
Speaker 1: start of the year, probably career I second strikeouts, one run,
Speaker 1: five and two thirds. So everything sucks, including the Cubs bullpen,
Speaker 1: which just sucked too. I want to talk about that
Speaker 1: for a second. Drew Pomeranz has a squirrel sitting. He
Speaker 1: hasn't allowed to run in seven appearances so far. They
Speaker 1: want Ryan Presley nowhere near this thing. I know Porter
Speaker 1: Hodge was unavailable because he had a high pitch count.
Speaker 1: Do you see Pomerans maybe getting some one off saves here?
Speaker 1: Because they did go out there and acquire him. It
Speaker 1: seemed like like somebody they targeted. Remember when in the
Speaker 1: beginning of the season here I think it was in
Speaker 1: mid April this transaction happened. I want, so let's talk
Speaker 1: about that for a second. Is there any deeper league speculation?
Speaker 1: All Pomerans were just the no. Porter Hodge just wasn't
Speaker 1: available and this was just the pivot.
Speaker 2: I think porter Hodge is the guy, but you ask,
Speaker 2: can he get one off saves like he did? And
Speaker 2: you know he probably will continue it. This is like
Speaker 2: a very Shelby Miller esque of like what Shelby was
Speaker 2: doing with the Diamondbacks early on, Palmerans is doing that.
Speaker 2: He's literally giving up nothing right now, seven innings completely clean,
Speaker 2: eight strikeouts, He's got a point five to two whips.
Speaker 2: He looks ridiculous. He's a great reliever right now. So
Speaker 2: I do think he can get some like one off saves.
Speaker 2: But do I think he's going to overtake porter Hodge.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Do I think they might try to, you know, push
Speaker 2: Ryan Presley back down our throat for saves. Yeah, maybe
Speaker 2: there's a possibility for that too. But I think palm
Speaker 2: Oran's is like a nice deeper league speculative guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the constitution is for that, I
Speaker 1: really don't. This is also getting a little frustrating here.
Speaker 1: So Brenda Woodruff is not coming back this week. He's
Speaker 1: going to make another rehab start before season debut. So
Speaker 1: I'm calling Shenanigans on this, Welsh, okay, because apparently he's
Speaker 1: got an ankle issue. Right, he's saying, oh, you know
Speaker 1: ten tonight is in the ankle is what he's got, right,
Speaker 1: But when the Miles Perrower came back on the fastball
Speaker 1: during the last rehab start, it was only ninety to
Speaker 1: ninety one. So Welsh, I'm calling shenanigans. I'm saying that
Speaker 1: there's something else off here. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: a dead arm period kind of thing. Maybe is an
Speaker 1: ankle issue. Maybe that was bothering him and he couldn't
Speaker 1: get the push or the land or whatever ankle it
Speaker 1: was that was bothering him. I don't think we got
Speaker 1: word on which ankle it was, but he's gonna get
Speaker 1: treatment on it or so they say, you think everything
Speaker 1: is all right here with Woodruff or am I just
Speaker 1: overreacting here to Shenanigans.
Speaker 2: I think you're calling shenanigans a little bit, a little
Speaker 2: bit early ankle. It could be hard whatever one it is.
Speaker 1: If it's exact effective low right like that.
Speaker 2: That's like if you can't plant properly, or if it's
Speaker 2: the push off. I mean either for one, you could
Speaker 2: definitely see having some type of effect if he's kind
Speaker 2: of babying that. But yeah, I mean that's to worry
Speaker 2: about these injured guys in having too heavy enough investment
Speaker 2: where anything could go wrong. I would actually say, like,
Speaker 2: I'm just happy because it's not some big arm thing.
Speaker 2: I know, like we wanted to feel Shenanigan's about Spencer
Speaker 2: Strider because it was like, hey, my hamstring hurts and
Speaker 2: then it's like, yeah, but I'm not throwing, and everyone's
Speaker 2: like why, But he's back. He's going to pitch on Friday.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to say, without with no like arm
Speaker 2: things being thrown out there, I'm okay with Brandon Woodruff.
Speaker 2: This is just kind of an unfortunate little setback, but
Speaker 2: maybe good for Jacob Mesowski.
Speaker 1: Maybe could be we'll see. Let's talk about Jordan Walker.
Speaker 1: Oh for four, two more strikeouts for him. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he makes it through the week. I gotta
Speaker 1: be honest with you, Welsh, I think he gets sent down.
Speaker 1: And I want to talk about this because that creates
Speaker 1: a void right right now, he is the starting right fielder,
Speaker 1: so you know, Ivan Herrera's back, they had him d
Speaker 1: h the other day. He's you know, still a catcher too,
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure who moves where in these pieces,
Speaker 1: Like does Nolan Gorman go take over second base and
Speaker 1: Donovan moves to the outfield? Like what do you think
Speaker 1: the the the chips look like here in terms of movement,
Speaker 1: because I don't think Jordan Walker is going to be
Speaker 1: with this club by the weekend.
Speaker 2: Kind of well, I don't know if I'm not that dramatic,
Speaker 2: but like I do think Jordan Walker might need a
Speaker 2: change of scenery that I don't.
Speaker 1: Even year in a row too. You just want to
Speaker 1: point out that he's been sent down.
Speaker 2: I know, from a developmental standpoint, I think it looks
Speaker 2: really bad to continuously keep knocking him down to this
Speaker 2: level when you were making a commitment. I don't even
Speaker 2: know how many more options he has. He probably has
Speaker 2: like one or two more, but this to me is
Speaker 2: looking like the point where they just need to they
Speaker 2: need to cut it. They need to probably trade do
Speaker 2: the the poop for poop trade, you know, find a
Speaker 2: team that's got an underlying guy that maybe hasn't quite
Speaker 2: worked out, or frankly, I know Jordan Walker starts to
Speaker 2: seem starting to feel like maybe he is destined to
Speaker 2: be a Chicago White Sox or something like that. But
Speaker 2: it looks really bad. I had some high hopes for
Speaker 2: the changes he made, or at least he was trying
Speaker 2: to make in the offseason. Guess what. Things got worse.
Speaker 2: And here's the crazy thing. He might have to go
Speaker 2: back to the old tendencies. And if you don't remember,
Speaker 2: I talked about it a lot. He was bringing his
Speaker 2: hands inside more so he could get to the path quicker.
Speaker 2: Everything is worse this year, so you might need to
Speaker 2: get back to some of those old tricks. Either way,
Speaker 2: none of it's work. I think you got to probably
Speaker 2: ship him out, give him an opportunity somewhere else, or
Speaker 2: I guess you could keep just doing this send down thing.
Speaker 2: But I agree, I don't think they can do this
Speaker 2: much longer. And Donovan can play in the outfield. You've
Speaker 2: obviously got Victor Scott and and I'm completely blanking on
Speaker 2: the large woodbar.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say you've got new bar. Alt Burlson's got
Speaker 1: flexibility to like, that's the thing about the Cardinals is
Speaker 1: they don't really skip a beat here. They just shift
Speaker 1: guys around. They've always been that kind of team. So, uh,
Speaker 1: it's very frustrating, and I think you're one hundred percent right,
Speaker 1: maybe just to change of scenery, different coaches just get
Speaker 1: out of Saint Louis. And we've seen a lot of
Speaker 1: these prospects over the years, right, we go to the
Speaker 1: the Gritchucks and Piscatti's to the let's see the Randy
Speaker 1: rose Arenas, who you know, couldn't make it in that organization.
Speaker 1: Just they just seem to have a rough time with
Speaker 1: their prospects. There's some other ones. Carson Kelly, right, he
Speaker 1: was a Cardinal prospect once upon a time that a
Speaker 1: lot of I'm missing somebody I know I'm missing, like
Speaker 1: another alf Tyler O'Neal, Right, wasn't he another Cardinal prospect
Speaker 1: once upon a time?
Speaker 2: It was a man, he was a Mariner prospect, but
Speaker 2: he went to the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: That's right, he came over now. But I mean they've
Speaker 1: kind of a rough go there. When you think about it,
Speaker 1: it's not exactly been since Pools have they produced a
Speaker 1: really solid all star from within.
Speaker 2: No, I mean because Eronata's not homegrown. Goldie is not
Speaker 2: home grows. I mean, you've had some decent guys all start. No,
Speaker 2: but yeah, see it's funny because people are throwing this out.
Speaker 2: That's one of them. Adulies and Randia Rose Arena where
Speaker 2: dull Cardinal prospects.
Speaker 1: I did mention him a Doulus is another one too.
Speaker 1: They just either it's the evaluations bad or the or
Speaker 1: the pipeline of getting there's bad, which was never the case, right.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals were always a good organization when it came
Speaker 1: to prospects back in the eighties and nineties, like that
Speaker 1: was always their remo.
Speaker 2: It is interesting to think of, like what this could
Speaker 2: look like. And you know what's another team that's either
Speaker 2: willing to trade a piece that helps now or kind
Speaker 2: of a young struggling guy that doesn't have like spacing
Speaker 2: in the organization. But it just feels like Walker probably
Speaker 2: needs to be moved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want more of that poop for poop trade video.
Speaker 2: Next up on Fantasy Pros Poop or poop coming as.
Speaker 1: Like an Adam Sandler bit, here's the poop, Where's it coming?
Speaker 1: Trevor's story, Oh for three two more strikeouts. He's now
Speaker 1: in a buck forty five nine for his last sixty two,
Speaker 1: one homer twenty one strikeouts in his last fifteen games.
Speaker 1: No buoyno Welsh, no boy. No. It's funny. It's almost
Speaker 1: as if too handsome middle aged men talked about him
Speaker 1: on a video a couple weeks ago to trade him.
Speaker 1: If if all people had listened, it's almost as if,
Speaker 1: so does this exasperate any sort of Marcelo Meyer movement
Speaker 1: here where maybe Story does grab that first basement and
Speaker 1: takes one for the team here and that's the way
Speaker 1: they get some more offense going.
Speaker 2: That's definitely impossible. I mean that was one I kind
Speaker 2: of threw out there of like Story going to first.
Speaker 2: What I don't think happens is there's not gonna be
Speaker 2: something where they're like Trevor Story, You're gone in favor
Speaker 2: of bringing in like a mirror Anthony more in that
Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, they could move him around. I don't
Speaker 2: think he is like you know, he's touchable at shortstop
Speaker 2: or something like that that they could easily move in
Speaker 2: a mayor there. But yeah, I think it's going to
Speaker 2: open up some eyes. This organization in general has got
Speaker 2: to take a long look at their roster, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, I know the Devers stuff is whatever it is.
Speaker 2: He met with management. But if you saw Ken Rosenthal yesterday,
Speaker 2: I also mentioned that it is not quote far fetched
Speaker 2: to believe that Raphael Devers could even be traded and
Speaker 2: that would open up as well. I still I leaned
Speaker 2: to like, that's not going to happen, but there is
Speaker 2: always the possibility of, you know, a Dever's trade. With
Speaker 2: the chaos Trevor story moving around, we just we want
Speaker 2: to see Mayor and Anthony soon and we just we
Speaker 2: really just don't have any idea when.
Speaker 1: Nope, nope, we don't. Let's get us some transactions. Jake
Speaker 1: Berger is back now. He was dropped at a ton
Speaker 1: of leagues, so if he's still available, I would be
Speaker 1: looking to add him. This is the time Brian Rochio
Speaker 1: was sent down by the Guardians, and Evan Longoria is
Speaker 1: going to sign a one day contract with the Rays
Speaker 1: to retire. So Evan Longoria. Any favorite Evan Longoria moments?
Speaker 1: Mine was definitely that home run in that last day
Speaker 1: of the season. Remember back in the day when the
Speaker 1: Rays got into the playoffs. That was fun and any
Speaker 1: other Longo moments that stick out for you.
Speaker 2: Well, first, I loved Evan Longorey, like when he was
Speaker 2: coming up as a Ray. There's something about the Rays
Speaker 2: prospects that were so exciting. You had like Longoria, and
Speaker 2: you had bj Upton. You know, they had Tim Beckham.
Speaker 2: You know, they had all these guys and these exciting guys.
Speaker 2: I Evan Longoria was one of the first guys I
Speaker 2: really really loved. But the most memorable thing is he
Speaker 2: was a part of that. Remember when they were doing
Speaker 2: all those ridiculous videos where he did the one where
Speaker 2: he was being interviewed and they act like a foul
Speaker 2: ball comes and he catches it, and you know, like
Speaker 2: they did like the Mike Vick throwing the ball out
Speaker 2: of the stadium. I don't remember if they were Nike
Speaker 2: or whatever. But Longoria, he's being interviewed and someone's taking
Speaker 2: taking VP. The ball comes flying to hit the girl. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he catches it the ball And that's that's something that
Speaker 2: I remember about.
Speaker 1: Longo has jump from double A too, which is pretty impressive.
Speaker 2: Also, Evan Longoria the reason that Corbyn Carroll became a
Speaker 2: avid card collector. So everyone knows this now, but I
Speaker 2: remember when I was when I was hanging out with
Speaker 2: my dear friend Corbyn Carrol a couple of years ago,
Speaker 2: he was talking about how Longoria got him into into cards,
Speaker 2: and I believe Carol had like purchased a case of
Speaker 2: his rookie year to try to pull an Evan Longoria
Speaker 2: card to get it to him. So, Evan Longoria pretty
Speaker 2: lovable guy around baseball.
Speaker 1: Fun times. And he's an older guy too, And sometimes
Speaker 1: we get a little older, you know, lately things feel
Speaker 1: a little off. Fatigue, might linger, Recovery takes longer in
Speaker 1: your performance, Maybe isn't quite where he used to be.

Speaker 1: a huge fan of the show. He said, Oh yeah, Welsh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you. I'm gonna go out there and
Speaker 1: go six innings, seven strikeouts against the lowly Pirates line up.
Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez singled, walked twice and had three steals. Pretty
Speaker 1: fun night and fantasy for you. The Downs Everson Hancock
Speaker 1: gave up seven runs and five innings. Ryan Gusto was
Speaker 1: no Bueeno seven runs while working two and a third
Speaker 1: and Brian Reynolds oh for five and grounded it to
Speaker 1: double play to end. Unfortunately the threat there. He is
Speaker 1: down to two oh two two sixty six three twenty
Speaker 1: three fifty two strikeouts this year. Uh, stay tuned. We're
Speaker 1: record a video after this, our trade video for the week,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about Brian Reynolds because that's a
Speaker 1: quality player that has gotten off to a terrible start,
Speaker 1: and Onnell Cruz being out again too is not helping
Speaker 1: that line up. So let's get to the injuries. Watch
Speaker 1: a really gross one last night. I hope you did
Speaker 1: not see this one, because I know I did.
Speaker 2: Now I will tell you this right now. Someone said
Speaker 2: the word gruesome with this. I immediately went away, and
Speaker 2: then Bogman text me to say, I hope everyone has
Speaker 2: told you to not look at the Oswaldo Cabrera injury.
Speaker 2: I have not. I don't I don't do injuries. I
Speaker 2: don't do gruesome. I don't do it. Not going to
Speaker 2: will never look. But I know he was like air
Speaker 2: vacked outer airport. No, don't do it, Nope.
Speaker 1: Going this way, No, I go in the wrong direction.
Speaker 1: It's not good. And now Cabrera, obviously that he's going
Speaker 1: to be a significant time DJ Lemayhew ironically is set
Speaker 1: to be activated, so I mean it's it's good timing
Speaker 1: for the Yankees, but a terrible injury for Garberra. So
Speaker 1: hopefully we see him again later in the season at
Speaker 1: some point he can recover from it. Logan Gilbert's throwing
Speaker 1: a bullpen today. We'll get you more information tomorrow on
Speaker 1: how that goes. Mike Trout is gonna run. Check this out.
Speaker 1: Zero gravity treadmill running. That sounds fun. I kind of
Speaker 1: want to have an injury just to do that. I
Speaker 1: don't even I'm not even sure what that is. Do
Speaker 1: you know what the zero gravity treadmill running is?
Speaker 2: M Isn't that like an elliptical? Isn't it like just
Speaker 2: we're zero? I sounded, well, that's like zero pressure, like
Speaker 2: when you like you're like running but you're not putting
Speaker 2: pressure on.
Speaker 1: I really don't watch whatever that machine is. I want
Speaker 1: to do. Maybe you should do that during the Kaisa
Speaker 1: checks read that.
Speaker 2: Would you know what? Send me one?
Speaker 1: Luke Jackson got nailed by a line drive yesterday. He
Speaker 1: had to come out of the game, so that was
Speaker 1: no point. No, he did not get the save. There
Speaker 1: Ian happ to the il Moisis goes up and speaking
Speaker 1: of Moisus Ballisteros, let's talk about him. Triple A three
Speaker 1: sixty eight four twenty five, twenty two, four homers, three steals.
Speaker 1: So listen the PCL again. So in the numbers you
Speaker 1: take with a little bit of grand salt. But what
Speaker 1: do you think of Moyst's in the short terms you
Speaker 1: pick up in deeper leads.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so Moys's Ballisteros is super interesting. I
Speaker 2: think we talked about him in one of these episodes.
Speaker 2: I know I've written about him. The weird thing with
Speaker 2: him was he's a little bit blocked, you know, because
Speaker 2: like they've had a Maaya and Carson Kelly's been great,
Speaker 2: but they're gonna bring him up. Could play some first base,
Speaker 2: he can dh He is an offensive catcher, doesn't strike out,
Speaker 2: makes a ton of contact. Had somebody mentioned that there's
Speaker 2: like Tony Gwinnich type of vibes maybe from a body perspective,
Speaker 2: from the way he makes contact, the way he doesn't
Speaker 2: chase bad I've actually got some videos of in the
Speaker 2: AFL of Andrew Painter, and it was funny. I was
Speaker 2: doing this one stream and I was trying to show
Speaker 2: positives a painter and I came across the BALLISTERO sit bat,
Speaker 2: and he's one of the few guys that actually got
Speaker 2: to Andrew Painter. Hitting a double makes a ton of contact,
Speaker 2: really interesting bat little soft athletically and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to see how the playing time goes.
Speaker 2: But they're bringing him up to see if that bat
Speaker 2: can play, probably do some d H and I think
Speaker 2: he might be worth a look, but I'm not you know,
Speaker 2: I'm not picking him over Jordan Lawler. I'm not cutting
Speaker 2: anything any thing crazy because I don't know how long
Speaker 2: he can stay. But that bat definitely has a chance
Speaker 2: to play.
Speaker 1: Oh here's a good suggestion here from Cookie Chobs. We
Speaker 1: need Welsh to solve a Rubik's cube that's low impact
Speaker 1: during the cost drugs. Read that's true.
Speaker 2: My son gets my son has the We actually have
Speaker 2: like four different ones. He's like a like I can't
Speaker 2: figure out he's tried to teach me because it's.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, he left and then.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something I'll see if he can if he
Speaker 2: can unlock my brain and see if I can do
Speaker 2: that one time?
Speaker 1: It can you fix can you finish the Rubics Cube
Speaker 1: during the Kais of Drugs. Read that's good television.
Speaker 2: We'll work, we'll work towards it for the season.
Speaker 1: I want to see that. I want to see that now.
Speaker 1: We did mention Jose Ramirez earlier, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to forget, you know, I want to pop him here
Speaker 1: for a second, because not all gonna have a three
Speaker 1: steals yesterday, but he gave us his jersey autographed for
Speaker 1: one of you to win. So how do you win this,
Speaker 1: bad boy? You subscribe to Fantasy Rose m LB. You
Speaker 1: drop your comments below. You subscribe to the channel and
Speaker 1: that's it. That's all you gotta do again, drop your comments,
Speaker 1: ring the belt to lit goos Ding so you don't
Speaker 1: miss a piece of content. And you know if you're
Speaker 1: the big winner of the Jose Ramirez jersey from Pristine
Speaker 1: Auction dot com a great place to get any sort
Speaker 1: of autographs, jerseys, balls, anything you can name. They've got
Speaker 1: over their Pristine Auction. So in Father's Day's comments, perfect
Speaker 1: time to go hit up Pristine Auction for some gifts,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, or some gifts for me
Speaker 1: and Welsh. You know we are not above receiving gifts.
Speaker 1: Ben Lively going back to the Guardians, was removed Monday
Speaker 1: from his start against the Brewers with right forum inflammation.
Speaker 1: He went back out to the mound and he was
Speaker 1: not able to go. Jose Quintana it's gonna have his
Speaker 1: start pushback for left shoulder soreness. Between this and Woodroffe,
Speaker 1: the Brewers is a hard time.
Speaker 2: While they're just like, you're gone over here, you're injured,
Speaker 2: let's push this back. They don't know what's going on
Speaker 2: in that rotation.
Speaker 1: Good, very very very bad time. It's very dark right
Speaker 1: now for the Brewers. You Darvish through a bullpen session yesterday,
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller scheduled to throw another one later this week,
Speaker 1: and George Kirby is going to make a rehab start
Speaker 1: on Friday. Hopefully a couple of rehab starts and we'll
Speaker 1: get George Kirby back, and then Kumar Rocker through a
Speaker 1: bullpen session yesterday. So you know, a lot of injuries
Speaker 1: going on, but I think the Brewers rotation is that big.
Speaker 1: When you mentioned Miserrowski yesterday, we've seen Logan Henderson. I'd
Speaker 1: be speculating on those guys because something's going to go
Speaker 1: wrong here for these Breweris Pitchers. There's too many issues
Speaker 1: and too many starts to be made here in the
Speaker 1: next week or two.
Speaker 2: And also, like can Chad Patrick and Quinn Prist like
Speaker 2: really keep like really great guys down there's a lot
Speaker 2: I mean it might it's Pat Murphy, but there's a
Speaker 2: lot of Like, there's just a lot of interesting access
Speaker 2: for these guys. Logan Henderson would probably be the first
Speaker 2: one that would come up, but as mentioned in the
Speaker 2: prospecting segment, Misrowski has been absolutely insane, so I wouldn't
Speaker 2: put it past them that he gets an opportunity in
Speaker 2: the future, especially if any of these weird injury things
Speaker 2: become more permanent.
Speaker 1: BD's got a question here, who won the trade? Michael
Speaker 1: Garcia and Pariitis or Canning Christian Walker and Nemo Walker
Speaker 1: Nemo side for sure, Yeah, I want Canning Walking.
Speaker 2: I mean Garcia has been good and Paratus is doing
Speaker 2: but like, can't you notice Yeah, well that doesn't say
Speaker 2: is like Walker and Nemo I think are like really
Speaker 2: good gets plus you got at least a back into
Speaker 2: your rotation picture in Canning for Dynasy.
Speaker 1: Who would rather trade for Alonzo or Freeman? I'd rather
Speaker 1: have Alonzo. I think Freeman's starting to break down physically
Speaker 1: a little bit.
Speaker 2: Also, there's like a yeah, there's like a six year
Speaker 2: age gap, so I would.
Speaker 1: Go many between. I guess it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think so. I mean I could be
Speaker 2: wrong about that. I think Freeman is like thirty five
Speaker 2: or thirty six, and I think Alonza's thirty. Yeah, Alonza's thirty.
Speaker 1: That I know. I didn't realize Freddy was that old. Now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a that's a no brainer one. Definitely,
Speaker 1: Which Phillies closer? Are we rostering? I'm still saying Alvarado.
Speaker 2: I'd still go with Alvarado as well. I think that's
Speaker 2: the guy. But it's one of those teams they got
Speaker 2: a bunch of players that they can kind of move
Speaker 2: around and go to. But I would say Evorado too.
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at the betting slate
Speaker 1: because it can't be worse than yesterday. It's time for
Speaker 1: the best Bets of the day with Joey p and
Speaker 1: the Welsh. All rightsh why don't you go first today?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like maybe I just gotta shake the
Speaker 1: dust off a little bit, you know, change the mojo.
Speaker 1: So let's go with your bets today, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just wait in the corner.
Speaker 2: I do too. I was like, oh, Boston, the first
Speaker 2: five they give like eleven.
Speaker 1: I should have listened to you. I was right about Skimes.
Speaker 1: If I'd done the first five, I would have been okay.
Speaker 1: But I flew too close to the sun like Icarus,
Speaker 1: and my wings melted.
Speaker 2: Plus money. It was plus money through the first five,
Speaker 2: which was really interesting.
Speaker 1: Get up to one forty before the game too, plus
Speaker 1: one forty five.
Speaker 2: That's where the game's sane. That's ridiculous. But my bets
Speaker 2: for the day, I'm gonna go Atlanta Washington. First five,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go under four and a half runs. You know,
Speaker 2: Soroka had a lot of good Spring success. His era
Speaker 2: has a bit inflated, had an injury, but I think
Speaker 2: he's gonna bounce back a little bit against that Atlanta offense,
Speaker 2: which has got some struggles. We'll be talking about in
Speaker 2: the trade video. Ozzie Albis, who's hitting two hundred. And
Speaker 2: I'm not mentioning the Atlanta side because Spencer Schwellenbach is
Speaker 2: on the mound and I think he's going to dominate today,
Speaker 2: so under four and a half runs are the first
Speaker 2: five for Atlanta Washington. Speaking of Spencer Schwellenbach, we are
Speaker 2: going to go to his strikeout prop over five and
Speaker 2: a half. He has hit this in two of his
Speaker 2: last three games. Washington is a little bit of a
Speaker 2: lower strikeout team, but they're actually not like the next
Speaker 2: one I'm going to talk about. They're around middle of
Speaker 2: the pack in the league. But Spencer Schwellenbach, especially with
Speaker 2: that split finger and stuff, I think he's going to
Speaker 2: give some fits to, you know, some of those outfielders
Speaker 2: if we see I can't imagine they're going to put
Speaker 2: Dylan Cruz out there. Cruz might get us half the
Speaker 2: strikeouts if he's starting anyways, but I think I think
Speaker 2: we're going to see some good stuff from Swellenbach here.
Speaker 2: It's a low strikeout total with not crazy juice, so
Speaker 2: I really like that. And Jose Siriano. This is a
Speaker 2: battle of two things. The Padres are the lowest striking
Speaker 2: out team per game in the league, but Jose Soriano
Speaker 2: is at four strikeouts over three and a half, which
Speaker 2: he has hit all but two starts of this entire season.
Speaker 2: He had six against the Diamondbacks last last start, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, like the Diamonbacks, don't strike out a
Speaker 2: whole bunch, so I need four strikeouts from Soriano. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna make that play here over three and a half
Speaker 2: at minus one ten Soriano, Swelling, Bach Ks and first
Speaker 2: five Atlanta Washington under Joey, you are.
Speaker 1: Up, all right. Let's get the Padres back on track
Speaker 1: with Dylan Ceas on the mau. Let's take the Padres
Speaker 1: on the run line minus one and a half at
Speaker 1: plus one oh five. I think they can dominate today.
Speaker 1: They hit the ball yesterday, just they came up a
Speaker 1: little short in the ballpen, so they shake it off.
Speaker 1: They got max freed against Brian Wu. I was tempted
Speaker 1: to do the first five, but it wasn't a great
Speaker 1: number on that so instead I'm just gonna go with
Speaker 1: the under seven runs total here minus one oh eight
Speaker 1: and hope that those two pitchers do what they do best,
Speaker 1: which is limit runs free. He's been brilliant pitching two
Speaker 1: about a one era. Brian Wu has been very solid
Speaker 1: this year. And then let's go with Toronto on the
Speaker 1: money line minus one twenty six today Barrios on the
Speaker 1: mound against Shane Boz and Boz over his last seven
Speaker 1: starts thirty eight innings, a one to three to three
Speaker 1: whip and a four to nine three era, he has
Speaker 1: not been good. So even if you want to just
Speaker 1: take the Toronto team total today, that might be a
Speaker 1: wise decision as well as a lot of ways I
Speaker 1: would attack Shane Boss until he turns things around, which
Speaker 1: is really weird because he had a good run there
Speaker 1: and then these last few starts things have really gone
Speaker 1: in the wrong direction. So hopefully he turns it around,
Speaker 1: but not today. Don't do that to me, Shane Boz.

Speaker 1: run board time, Let's take a look. It's still the
Speaker 1: Welsh and Walkee Penguin tied to fourteen, but Marty at
Speaker 1: the top with nineteen, George with eighteen. I'm getting close
Speaker 1: to double digits, but I gotta get on there soon.
Speaker 1: I gotta make my move. Marty's in a different planet
Speaker 1: here right in that gap too.
Speaker 2: By the way, the top three to four, there's a
Speaker 2: three home run gap between fourth and then the top
Speaker 2: three guys eighteen eighteen, nineteen, and then Razor is down there.
Speaker 1: Razors at fifteen at fourth overall, and then twenties at twelve.
Speaker 1: So only three homers separate four and twenty. My god,
Speaker 1: things are getting tight. My goad. Pristine Auction dot Com again,
Speaker 1: that's where we got the Sami Sosa jersey, so it's autographed.
Speaker 1: The big winner is going to get that one. I
Speaker 1: am going to go with a young man named Shohio
Speaker 1: Tani today that's where I'm going for my home run
Speaker 1: call because I need one. I need one bat. It's
Speaker 1: still TBD as I'm looking here for the athletics, so
Speaker 1: that can't be good.
Speaker 2: So I thought I saw it was Jeffrey Springs.
Speaker 1: Is it Springs? Because on Fan'll still I'm looking right now,
Speaker 1: it's still nobody. I'll look on it LBC if I
Speaker 1: can find it there. But usually Fandel whenever there's wagering involved,
Speaker 1: they get the names of those people up there and
Speaker 1: they change the odds really quickly. So it's still TVD
Speaker 1: on MLB now right now too, and I'm looking at it.
Speaker 2: So TBD gives up a lot of homew TVD.
Speaker 1: Is the worst, so can't can't love that. So where
Speaker 1: you going with your home run call today? You know?
Speaker 2: Just a funny story about me? Uh my, uh no,
Speaker 2: just it's the TVD thing, not to get all weird.
Speaker 2: My my dad had died before I was born, and
Speaker 2: uh so, like I don't have like this big history.
Speaker 2: I was looking at his uh this will be a
Speaker 2: funny story, by the way, not a morose. I was
Speaker 2: looking at like his birth certificate and under middle name
Speaker 2: it said him in and I for many years when
Speaker 2: I was young, thought that that was his middle name.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, it's Shane Neman then no middle name,
Speaker 2: TVD no middle name, So no, mn is not a
Speaker 2: middle name. I was like, what a weird.
Speaker 1: It'll go this, but that is actually a pretty funny story.
Speaker 2: Nimin, it's not Niemenin, it's no middle name. And to
Speaker 2: be determined picture TBD as well, I am gonna go.
Speaker 2: I'm actually gonna go with the same team. Because I
Speaker 2: saw Jeffrey Springs as a lefty, I wanted to kind
Speaker 2: of attack and go with Mookie Bets. I'm gonna still
Speaker 2: go with Mookie Bets. We're both attacking that ballpark, the
Speaker 2: little baby baby they're in. Well, either way, it doesn't
Speaker 2: matter to me if it's in LA, because now I'm
Speaker 2: completely forgetting on the right. Well, I'm just forgetting if
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 1: Or sorry Sacramento today, Okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought it was because I
Speaker 2: love it even more even if it wasn't pull side
Speaker 2: for right handed hitters. Mookie Bets is my home run call,
Speaker 2: So go Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Indeed, I believe right, I'm not crazy? Is it maybe
Speaker 1: I'm wrong? Hold on second? Oh, no, No, they are
Speaker 1: in LA. They're in Dodgers Stadium today. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Okay, even better even one of the best pull pull
Speaker 2: side for any single right handed hitter in baseball.
Speaker 1: I love it either way against CBD. I have well
Speaker 1: lend on another funny middle name story about dad. So,
Speaker 1: my my father, when he was born, my grandmother wanted
Speaker 1: a girl, and that was Josephine. Didn't happen, right, So
Speaker 1: she named him Ronald, after an actor Ronald Coleman that
Speaker 1: she had the hot sport. She thought he was a
Speaker 1: handsome man, so she named him that. And the I
Speaker 1: guess the mother in law was not happy because she
Speaker 1: wanted him to be named something else and she didn't
Speaker 1: name him that, and it was like a family name,
Speaker 1: and she did. She ignored it, and she put an
Speaker 1: Italian curse on her because she knew she wanted to
Speaker 1: have a girl, and she said, you'll never have any girls.
Speaker 1: And after that, my uncle was so my father. Then
Speaker 1: my uncle was born, I was born. My two cousins
Speaker 1: after that all boys. There wasn't a girl born in
Speaker 1: the family until she died.
Speaker 2: Crazy, wow, and was it your kids?
Speaker 1: It is my daughter's yeah?
Speaker 2: Wow? You brother?
Speaker 1: Then after that. Not only that, but then my my
Speaker 1: cousin had his first kid was also a girl.
Speaker 2: U side note, did you do you ever have that
Speaker 2: where your parents like you were going to be named
Speaker 2: something else and then do you have that.
Speaker 1: Like, oh oh my dad lost that?
Speaker 2: So what was your name?
Speaker 1: Bruno? Oh? Now, if anybody could pull off Bruno, I
Speaker 1: feel like I could do it.
Speaker 2: Wait talk about Brune.
Speaker 1: No, no, it was way before that stupid song for.
Speaker 2: That, Yours is mine was so boring. What a dumb,
Speaker 2: boring other name I was going to have? Yours would
Speaker 2: have been beautiful Bruno, piece of piano. God, that's your
Speaker 2: wrestler name.
Speaker 1: I probably would have been in a different line of work,
Speaker 1: I can only imagine. But I'm happy to be in
Speaker 1: this one. And we'll be back again tomorrow to talk
Speaker 1: more baseball. That'll do it for us, but the story
Speaker 1: of the game goes on for the Welsh. I'm Joey P.
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time. Kids.
