1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is leading

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: off live. It is me, Joey p joe pezappeea with

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: me of course is the Welsh and as you can see,

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: we're not in the same room anymore. Flight back was uneventful,

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: which is always the best. But the little jet lag

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: hanging in there already did a football show today. I

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: got another football show later, but that doesn't matter because

8
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: we're here to talk baseball and we got a lot

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: to get to you. We're gonna do some deep dives

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: on Cal Rawley's problems to start the year, and a

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: couple other sluggers as well. We're gonna talk about some

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: incredible pitching performances. Pitching is ahead of hitting right now,

13
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: in case you didn't notice by the strikeout totals from

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: last night. Yish, but Welsh, we gotta start with some

15
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: big prospect news, and I know if there's one guy

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: in the world who loves prospects, it's you. So let's

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: talk about the big call up from the Pittsburgh Pirates,

18
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Connor Griffin. That's right, the shortstop's gonna make his debut

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: tomorrow on Friday. We'll have full coverage of that and

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: prepare you for it. I know Welsh's body is ready

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: for it. So Connor Griffin did not make the opening

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: day roster, but here we are basically a week later,

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: and here he is seven for sixteen, a four thirty

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: eight start to the season, four strikeouts, five walks in

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: five games for him, got off to a great start

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: and spring. We talked about it on Tuesday. I'm prospecting

27
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: with the Welsh like, Hey, I don't know what the

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: big deal is. You know, he struggled a little bit

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: towards the end. I don't know how these five games

30
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: really proved anything. Differently, I know there's been a lot

31
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: of talks Welsh too about the long term contract coming.

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: A lot of that information was leaked in the last

33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: twenty four hours two that both sides were working on that.

34
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Connor Griffin the call up, what

35
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: it means for fantasy and what our expectation should be,

36
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: because we all know great rookies even sometimes do have

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: some peaks in value valleys, excuse me, in terms of

38
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: their value when you look ahead to their rookie season.

39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, a lot in there. If you teed up

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: about fourteen different things and we would just roll with it.

41
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: But all right, I'll tee up one. Connor Griffin. Is

42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: it too soon to bring him up? How's that?

43
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: No, it's not. It almost looks silly that they let

44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: him go down for five games in the minors and

45
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: they did this. I don't know if this was a

46
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: push to be like, you know, hey, let's get a

47
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: contract extension and as as soon as you're good to go,

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: we're gonna bring you up. I don't know if it

49
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: took five games for them to realize that Connor Griffin

50
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: is the best shortstop on the entire organization and maybe

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: one of the best hitters on the team. Whatever it is,

52
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: he's gonna be up, and he is. I think one

53
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: of the biggest questions people might have. He is still

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: eligible for the PPI as long as the contract doesn't

55
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: ink today. That's the weird, dumb thing. So he had

56
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: to be up by April fourteenth. They check that he's

57
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: got to sign his contract after he makes his major

58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: league debut. That looks like that is kind of set

59
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: up because they're gonna deal with that. So those are

60
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: the weird outer workings of you know whatever. We could

61
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: probably run ourselves in circles about you know what he's

62
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 2: going to do. But overall though this is a huge jump.

63
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: It's very funny. We talked about this on the Betting

64
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: Show where it was like, you know, guys like Weatherhold,

65
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: you know, Nola McClain, they were gonna have good odds,

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: but as soon as Connor Griffin got called up, it

67
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: was going to change the scope of all of it. Well, uh,

68
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: this happened I think a little bit earlier than some

69
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: of us expected, because you know, he kind of tailed

70
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: off towards the end of spring training. He went into

71
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: the minors, he started doing good, but we just didn't

72
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: know if this was going to be how soon this

73
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: is going to be. Now he's there. Now he is

74
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: like in the race. He was plus I think three

75
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: point fifty walking into today, and he's probably gonna jump

76
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: towards the lead as long as he doesn't struggle. So

77
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: a lot of big implications across the board, and from

78
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: a fantasy perspective, he's the must own player. I actually

79
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: just did a short yesterday Joe on the two Prospects

80
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: to Stash. I started to write up Connor Griffin. I

81
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: was like, what am I doing? Like of course, everybody's stashing.

82
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: If there's any prospect that's already stashed, it was Connor Griffin.

83
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: Projections love him from a expectations standpoint. I mean, I

84
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: think we have sky high projections. So it's gonna be, actually,

85
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: I think, really tough for him to meet the expectations.

86
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: But I think on the table is something like a

87
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: guy who can pop up like a twenty thirty season

88
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh and he'll probably start lowering the lineup and

89
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: move up, but you know, good, good stuff. In Triple

90
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: A he had a sixteen percent barrel rate, hit the

91
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: ball really hard, which you wanted, dropped a solid one

92
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: thirteen max ev multiple hit. He had hits in every

93
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: single Triple A game, and then he had a couple

94
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: of multi hit games. Like sky high expectations, I'd ask you,

95
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 2: are you going to be a Connor Griffin over let's

96
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: say a Kevin McGonagall type of guy.

97
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely not, absolutely not. I'm steadfast on this. I think

98
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: McGonagall was very ready from everything that I saw in

99
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: the profile. I think Connor Griffin has big star upside.

100
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: He's got the size, he's got the skill set, all

101
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: these things. I think this is a mistake calling him

102
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: up this early. Really think I think he should have

103
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: more time in Triple A. I think five games is ridiculous.

104
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take this other end of the spectrum.

105
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: And there's nothing to do with what I think of

106
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: the talent of Connor Griffin. I think Connor Griffin is

107
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: exceptionally talented. I can ask you a question an MVP

108
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: haliber talent. Uh, sure, go ahead. I have a lot

109
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: more on these feelings, but go for it.

110
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: Well, no, this is on your feelings. Is it that

111
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: you think he needs more time in Triple A or

112
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: he needs more time in the minors?

113
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: I think he needs Well, I understand we're gonna ask

114
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: that because Triple A for you is not impressive, which

115
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: is why these five games of Triple A is not

116
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: as impressive. The Double A is where most of the

117
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: talent is. Is that the is that the inclination of

118
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: your question there and the insinuation of it? Yeah?

119
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

120
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: Anymore?

121
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 2: Well, no, because you said like he needs more time

122
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: in Triple A. Uh, and and exactly what you said, like,

123
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 2: Triple A isn't exactly like a big stomping ground. That's

124
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: more of a Double A thing. But he's hitting. That

125
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: isn't to dismiss that Triple A isn't competitive. It's usually

126
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 2: going to be like, you know, you're gonna have like

127
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 2: more major league like older Quad A type of pitchers

128
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. But he hit four He's hitting

129
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: over four hundred in Triple A, more walks than strikeouts.

130
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: But it's five games, and I think that, Look, I mean,

131
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: it's the only time he's got more walks and strike up.

132
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: So if they're just thinking, like, hey, he's he's already

133
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: too good for Triple A, so why don't we just

134
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: let it learn at the big league level, I think

135
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: that's fine. But I think what spring training told me

136
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: was that the big league level is still a little

137
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: ahead of him. So for me, what I would rather

138
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: do is let him take a month at Triple A,

139
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: give him fifty at bats there, let him really just

140
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: tear the cover off ball, feel invincible, get the call up.

141
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: Then this weird back and forth the OEO five games

142
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: in the season. I don't know, because when you look

143
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: ahead at some of the pitchers that he's gonna face,

144
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: he had one seventy one in spring like I know,

145
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: he had a couple home runs, two of which were

146
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: in one game, and again, dynasty wise is number one

147
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: prospect fantasy wise. I get why everyone's super excited about

148
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 1: him if you ask me, like in a shallow league,

149
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: if McGonagall was out there, and weatherhol was out there

150
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: and Connor griff was out there, Griffin will be the

151
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: third guy ad because I just don't think I think

152
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: that transition is going to be a little bit more

153
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: difficult for him at times. I could be totally wrong.

154
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: I would just like to see him at his age

155
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: just get a little bit more seasoning in the minor

156
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: league level. I don't wish him failure. I just think

157
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: that if you're gonna send him down a not break

158
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: with the club. There's nothing that five games would have

159
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: changed my mind about there. And that's my big problem.

160
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get that. I think you're getting a

161
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: little hung up on that because I don't think it

162
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: had anything. I don't really think it was a performance

163
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: based thing. Like if I'm being honest with you, I

164
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: think it's some weird like you know, getting a contract

165
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: because they said they've been working on this for weeks.

166
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: They didn't have a contract in they didn't want to

167
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: bring them up to the majors. I really don't think

168
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: it was like a heavy performance thing, but maybe maybe

169
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: it will be. And to be honest, you know, he's

170
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: the least seasoned of guys like McGonagall and weather Holds,

171
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: so you know, there could be a much tougher path.

172
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: Spring training did show us some of that. He's going

173
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: to get attacked really early on. But as many people

174
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: have said for you know, the last six months, he

175
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: just might be the best Pirates positional hitter on the

176
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: entire organization, not just like in the minors, but he

177
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 2: just might be one of the players. So yes, yeah,

178
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: But I will say this though, I am such an

179
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 2: advocate for this because, like, compared it to all the

180
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: other sports, it's such a bummer how football and basketball

181
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: you can have the draft and have these young, exciting

182
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: guys that are immediately up and going. And baseball you

183
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: see a guy, you get drafted and then you don't

184
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: hear from them for three or four years later. For

185
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: Baseball to continuously push to get these young stars up,

186
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: hopefully it isn't gonna, you know, do something that's gonna

187
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: be a detriment, you know, to their development. But they're

188
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: doing a better job of bridging the gaps. They're doing

189
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: it in short periods of time, and it's much better

190
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: for baseball to get the young superstars. There's gonna be

191
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: a twelve year old out there that's fringy about baseball

192
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: in general. They're gonna see this nineteen year old Connor

193
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: Griffin prodigy come up and if he balls out, that's

194
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: gonna become their favorite player. And it just it makes

195
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: baseball better. So I'm super stoked about it. Hopefully it's

196
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: gonna make our fantasy teams better. But the McGonagall versus

197
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: Connor Griffith thing might be a really fun thing to

198
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: watch through the rest of the season because I'm not

199
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: one hundred percent sold Conor Griffige is that to come

200
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: out banging and drop a twenty five doty season. But

201
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: I do think he's gonna find some success.

202
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: I think, and Connor Griffin is an extraordinary talent. I've

203
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: already said it. I said it earlier. I think he's

204
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: got MVP potential. I think he's that kind of a talent.

205
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: But it's so funny. People, you know, I see you

206
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: in the chat. Why does Joe hate fun? All this stuff?

207
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: I donate fun because if there's only you know, one

208
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: of us here being positive, then we're not doing our

209
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: job right. Our job is to bring you both sides

210
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: of the coin here a little bit and understand that

211
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Jack Cagleone I could have been more excited about last year.

212
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: Jack cag Leone crushed everything everywhere from double A to

213
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: triple A. From as far as I can see, Jack

214
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: Kagleon struggled last year, big strong kid. Do I still

215
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: think Jack Cagleone can hit thirty bombs? I do, and

216
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: we're still waiting for it. Gunner Henderson I got we

217
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: were super excited about boy did he struggle the first

218
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: half of his rookie season only to eventually win Rookie

219
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: of the Year because he had a magnificent second half.

220
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is you have to find a balance,

221
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: especially in redraft leagues, of your excitement about baseball, which

222
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: Welsh is excited about. I'm excited about it, but your

223
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: realistic idea of when you throw nineteen twenty year old kids,

224
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: and he is twenty years old into the major leagues.

225
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's facing Kyle Bradish. That's not an easy day at

226
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: the office, Okay. I wish nothing but success for Connor Griffin.

227
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have a great career in dynasty leagues.

228
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: You're super excited because now you're already getting your investment.

229
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, at the very top, be prepared

230
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: for the good possibility that there's some struggles built in here.

231
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: If he had crush spring training and then crush your

232
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Blay Mayby be like, hey man, we just can't deny

233
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: this kid. He's got it, you know. But the fact

234
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: that he hit one seventy one there, and then the

235
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: pressures of being called up as a twenty one year

236
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: old kid, the pressures of all the attention he's going

237
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: to get because he is the number one prospect in

238
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. You know, in some ways he gets

239
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: more attention today than he would have Opening Day. And

240
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a really interesting thing to think about

241
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: Welsh from that perspective. Opening Day, he's just one of

242
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: the many rookies. Tomorrow it's Connor Griffin Day, and I

243
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: just think that that's a lot to put on a

244
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: twenty year old kid. I wish him well. I'm excited

245
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: to see him. So yeah, like my job is to

246
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: give you the real Sorry if if it dampens you

247
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: a whittle day. Sometimes it makes people shed, But what

248
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? Everything's

249
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: always great in rainbows and sunshine. It's not. I hope

250
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: it is. But let's just keep it real a little

251
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: bit here too.

252
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: I always play the heel very well.

253
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: That's what I try to do here on the show.

254
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: And you know what the worst part is the Garritt

255
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: call I had Tommy John surgery.

256
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: Are you're gonna be the real?

257
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: You know?

258
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: You don't?

259
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: Just you know what. It's a funny when people say, oh,

260
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: you're the heel, You're the bad guy, and then like

261
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: what But I'm never right about it, so I can't.

262
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: I can't put out sometimes where I'm right about it

263
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: and back it up. Would you rather me not back

264
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: it up and just do it artificially?

265
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: Are you? Are you doing like a rhetorical thing? Are

266
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: you like asking me?

267
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm asking no.

268
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 2: You you absolutely can. But when it is always attached

269
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 2: to the I told you.

270
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: So, Yeah, but it's not it's not performative because people

271
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: do it as performative.

272
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: And I do not think you are performative.

273
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: I'm not being performative about it all. But that's what

274
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: people think they think automatically when your negative is performative.

275
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith, I don't think Conna Griffin is ready

276
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 1: for the show. Like, I'm not doing that stuff. I'm

277
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: doing that Hey, as a twenty one year old kid

278
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: with a ton of pressure on him who had a

279
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: rough spring against major league pitching. Maybe we should just

280
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: pump the brakes, be excited, but also realize that if

281
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: you're you're asking Connor Griffin to win you a fantasy

282
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: league this year, that's a big ask.

283
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 2: So okay, we definitely move on. I love that we're

284
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: doing this because this is something Joe hates to do.

285
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: It's been twelve minutes in this show on topic, So

286
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 2: I love it. I'm all about this.

287
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: This is gonna cut off, this is gonna be its

288
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: own short.

289
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: I love it. I love this short form. Let's do

290
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: it one of the So we just did like a

291
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: really good sports talk thing where we talked about all

292
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: the inner workings and the mentality and all this stuff.

293
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: But just for a second before we put a bow

294
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: on Connor Griffin. The fantasy implication, the thing I'm struggling

295
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: with and understanding is, so, what does your fantasy take

296
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: on him? If you he's not available in the world.

297
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: He's not available anywhere. So if you own him, are

298
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: you treating him today because the hype is the biggest

299
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: and you are trading him for the likes of just

300
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: straight up just getting a Kevin McGonagall and moving off.

301
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: Are you trying to hide in on him? Are you

302
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: holding so let's hear what your fantasy take on him is.

303
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: Besides him, you know potentially he could fail, he could

304
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 2: not that stuff.

305
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: By the way, this is the greatest compliment ever if

306
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: you I'm a Paul Hayman guy, I'm gonna wear my

307
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: Paul Hayman guy shirt tomorrow in the show because I

308
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: have one. Thank you, Van Rod. I know I always

309
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: liked to. I think if you could get a haul

310
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: for him, if you can get a real pitcher and

311
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: a real slugger for him. I think if somebody's panicking

312
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: about some guys that we're gonna talk about in the

313
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: Deep Dive today and you could package Connor Griffin with

314
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: some other guys and get him, I think you do that.

315
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: I will take guys with track record every single day

316
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: over rookies in redraft whenever I hit. And this is

317
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: a scenario where we've created this artificial attention now on

318
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: Connor Griffin, where his value is extremely high. Twenty year

319
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: old guys don't always come into the major leagues and

320
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: just knock your socks off. It just and and that's

321
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: that's the greats, That's the Mike Trouts of the world.

322
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: All right, it's the Mickey Manners.

323
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: Yet, Alex Bregman, are you trading Connor Griffin in the second?

324
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,559
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think Alex Bergman qualifies is

325
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: what I put out there for him. But we could,

326
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: we could throw out some names for sure.

327
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 2: Let's do that good Caurio first, you know, and I'd

328
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: love to hear the chat. What would you trade your

329
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: Connor Griffin? You drafted him, you put the investment in.

330
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: It is probably pretty low understanding that you know the upside.

331
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: What is the thing obviously two for two for twos

332
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: blah blah, but a singular trade. What's the thing you

333
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: would trade your Conor Griffin away for right now? Whether

334
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: you are a huge Conor Griffin Stan or not. So

335
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: we can see not baby Billy's s gooble crochet type

336
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: of stuff. That's what I want to see, because the

337
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: application is really tough here in this conversation with Connor Griffin,

338
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: because I think at the end of the day you

339
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: kind of just own him and it's like you're gonna

340
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: let it ride or not. That's it's the casino break here.

341
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: House always wins. But are you gonna let it ride?

342
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: Are you gonna get out.

343
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: A Rod with nineteen years old when he came up,

344
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: he played forty eight games for Seattle. He had two

345
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: thirty two The next year at twenty, he was MVP

346
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: caliber right All Star, thirty six home runs. Again, we

347
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: know A Rod had some special vitamins and other things.

348
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: We don't know when that started, none of us really do.

349
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: But I do know this, that first one hundred and

350
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: fifty played appearance, this was rough for alex Ardriguez and

351
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: Alex Arriguez one of the greatest hitters we've ever seen.

352
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: I want to point, actually, you don't get a lot

353
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen year old guys coming up to the

354
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: big leagues.

355
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: And this is probably getting lost in this conversation. I'm

356
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: not that far. I think there's like an overarching thing

357
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: that you and I are completely different on, but like

358
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: I'm kind of in the same boat, Like I wasn't

359
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: drafting Connor Griffin. I did not rank him super high.

360
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: A because I thought it was going to be later

361
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: into the season, and B I don't know what the

362
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: transitional period is going to be. I think from a

363
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 2: pure hitting standpoint, I think Jijo Weatherhold and k McGonagall

364
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: are better suited for the majors right now. But how

365
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: but this guy is a I mean, he really is

366
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: a prodigy. So it's like, what is the timeline where

367
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: this is going to change. So all of this is

368
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: to say that, like, I'm kind of with you. I

369
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: probably want maybe even a bigger haul to get out

370
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: because I think the investment is so low, the potential

371
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: is so high. You've got to stare at yourself and

372
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: be like, you know, if I pass this up, or

373
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: I trade Conor Griffin to get this, will I be

374
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: able to sleep at night if he works so that

375
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 2: so I want to I'm kind of with you in

376
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: the If I could capitalize, I would because I don't

377
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: think he's going to be a forty to forty guy

378
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: in his first rookie season.

379
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: Griffin for Roman Anthony would be fascinating. I agree. I'll

380
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: take Roman Anthony all day. Resting season over Concrest. Absolutely,

381
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: and you can make that trade, probably right now because

382
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony has gotten off to a bad start.

383
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's only looking at that trade anywhere.

384
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: One more I'm gonna throw at you. Mike Trout nineteen

385
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: years old, came up his rookie season, played forty games

386
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: at five home runs, hit two twenty with a six

387
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: seventy two ops the next year. Yeah, brilliant. I'm just saying,

388
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: if you look at the pattern of nineteen twenty year

389
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: old kids on the call up, even the all time

390
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: great Hall of famers, there's a big learning curve over

391
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: the first fifty games. And if you're gonna wait for

392
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: the first fifty games of Connor Griffin instead of maybe

393
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: pedaling right now, which you can get for him, you

394
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: might be missing an intriguing window because what happen and

395
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: says after those forty to fifty games are over, you

396
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: are now in a spot where he doesn't have that

397
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: same kind of value, and now you're stuck with him

398
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: and saying, well, I just got to wait it out.

399
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: And maybe he waited out and turns around like Gunter

400
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: Henderson a couple of years ago, or maybe it doesn't

401
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: and he gets sent back down. Now, the fact that

402
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna sign a contract extension is probably gonna change

403
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: that dynamic, so that's probably not gonna happen, So you're

404
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: gonna have to take your lumps. I'm excited for Connor Griffin. Again.

405
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: This is not performative. This is not me being the

406
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: negative Nelly. This is about me being a realist, and

407
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: people don't like the realist. Welsh's point of view is

408
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: so much more fun.

409
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 2: I point of view. That's so much more fun.

410
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, just the raw excitement that I think

411
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: people just every time you.

412
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: Should have Rock excited me. This is gonna be one

413
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,239
Speaker 2: of most talented players. But you're if I just I'm

414
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 2: selling him, and I'm not.

415
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: No, I'm not saying and you're not the only person

416
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: that's not selling him. I'm saying that the raw excitement

417
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: sometimes clouds our judgment. And my job here as any

418
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: sort of analysts and host, is to make sure that

419
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm also giving you all the colors of the scenario too,

420
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: and I'm backing it up with real data of real

421
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 1: guys who became real superstars in the major leagues. Like

422
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: we all think Connor Griffin's going to be so be excited,

423
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: have fun, but be realistic. This is this is baseball

424
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: versus excitement versus fantasy excitement, and I think that's maybe

425
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: the conversation we're having here. Let's get excited for all

426
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: the guys who had ten strikeouts shall we? Gavin Williams

427
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,400
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts yesterday, seven scoreless endings, Kevin Gospan against the Rockies. Boy,

428
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: they're the gift that's gonna keep on giving this year.

429
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: Ten case for him. Matthew Boyd had ten k's two,

430
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: which is great because he had a rough first start

431
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: and that was great to see. But the best pitching

432
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: performance of them all, Sandy Alcontara hurled his fifth career shutout,

433
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: striking out seven against the White Sox. Sure it was

434
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: against the White Sox, but Welsh, this looks like the

435
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: Sandy of old. This is very exciting and from a

436
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: fantasy standpoint, not only do you get a discount on

437
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: him if he keeps pitching like this, there's gonna be

438
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: some teams that are gonna come knocking and overpay for

439
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: Sandy in the trade deadline sphere, and he's gonna make

440
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: a huge impact in the second half Yeah, I.

441
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: Did a CBS hit last night and I said the

442
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 2: exact same thing, the exact same thing. I said. The

443
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: most thing, the thing I'm most fascinated about Sandy by

444
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: is this was supposed to be like the number one

445
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 2: traded guy during the season. Now you've got a Marlins

446
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: team that's one of the best in baseball at five

447
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 2: and one, but they just played garbage teams. They'll come

448
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: back there. They have the garbage lineup, and you've got

449
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: Sandy who's dropping complete game shutouts. He's dropping a maddic

450
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: shutout early on.

451
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: This is huge.

452
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: And I said with a rico, I don't remember if

453
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: it was on the live stream or not yesterday, but like,

454
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: this is one of those things where it's like, man,

455
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: I got so hyper focused on guys like Logan Web

456
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: who've been you know, those kind of boring, safe guys

457
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: that protect me to go and do my Chase burns,

458
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 2: knowing that Sandy was just out there the whole time

459
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: being able to do that, go deep into games. He's

460
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: getting wins even with the Marlins, and he's going to

461
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: be a huge trade candidate. It's a weird space right

462
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: now because obviously you can't like a trade for Sandy

463
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 2: if you miss the opportunity to get him cheap. Hopefully

464
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: he settles down a little bit, because I would love

465
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: to own my shares because the like you mentioned, the

466
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: thing that is still ring us in the face is

467
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: that city's probably going to get traded in the next

468
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: couple of months. And imagine start putting these nine inning,

469
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: three hit, seven strikeout games on the Dodgers or the

470
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 2: Mets or literally anybody else once the Marlins stopped winning teams.

471
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, this is gonna end up being one of

472
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: those huge coups for people that got Sandyel Contra later.

473
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 2: He just fits every single build out there, even when

474
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: the strikeout numbers are low. So very very impressive, this one,

475
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: all right?

476
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: Continuing on here with the headlines yesterday, Cam Schlitler one

477
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: of my favorite guys, very good. Also seven strikeouts for him,

478
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: two hits, Mariners offense really struggling.

479
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 2: Yes, well, well, I just got a point out I

480
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: I in doing research for this. I did the CBSTV

481
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: thing yesterday I did. I had to double check this

482
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 2: three times. Did you know that the Yankees going into

483
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: after last night have given up a total of six

484
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: earned runs?

485
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: Yep?

486
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 2: The whole year, not idea of the best era in baseball,

487
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,479
Speaker 2: of course, by two runs, six total earn runs, and

488
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,719
Speaker 2: that is a huge thanks to Cam Schlitzler. And I

489
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: will say, you know, he was kind of the afterthought

490
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: and at least in my brain, of all those sexy

491
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: prospect pictures that are floating out there, Cam was just

492
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: kind of fine. His fastball is all his stuff. This

493
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 2: is something to watch. All his stuff was down in

494
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 2: this game by one point five to one point eight

495
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: miles per hour. That is something to keep in mind.

496
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 2: But the dude was pumping the zone, he was getting whiffs,

497
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: he was commanding. It was a phenomenal outing, but something

498
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: to watch in this incredible run the Yankees are going

499
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: on and Cam Schlitzler that stuff was down didn't matter

500
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: in this instance, might matter in the near future. Maybe

501
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 2: he is kind of a little trade candidate because they're

502
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: doing wacky, weird stuff to start the year and all

503
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: that stuff was down. So I'm just throwing that out

504
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: there as kind of a you know, a little caveat

505
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: to if you don't want to be super polyanna about it.

506
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: But massively impressive what the Yankees are doing right now.

507
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: And more impressive because Rodn and Garrick or not part

508
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: of that. So when you think of it.

509
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: That yeah, they got the reinforcements coming right.

510
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: It was like, we'll warrant Sames got two of the

511
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: best purchase in baseball eventually coming back in April and May,

512
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: which is amazing. Also, I don't know if he's in

513
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: your prospecting grouping there, but Brenon Beck, have you seen

514
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: what he's done to open up the season? Fifteen strikeouts

515
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: in his first nine innings, I think one or no

516
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: walks going on. He's been tremendous to open up the season.

517
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: So another Yankee arm there that's got a lot of potential.

518

Speaker 2: show up with all its bells and whistles up within

00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: about an hour or so. So YouTube and Twitch, but

535
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 2: Twitch is the live.

536
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: Faster than Kaisa tracks. I give it up there. Drew

537
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: Rastus and eight strikeouts of his own, and also in

538
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: the closer streets, Lucas Erseg who's fifty percent roster by

539
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: the way, I got the final two outs, be on

540
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: second save should be while he will be by the

541
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: end of the week. So just putting it out there

542
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: for everybody. Estevez goes to the el. He's got a

543
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: foot issue, so a lot going on there. Let's talk

544
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: about some deep dive players though, Welsh, because there's some

545
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: stars there that again not getting off to the best start,

546
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: but it's only a week or so of the season

547
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of hyper VENTI Lank Paul Skins

548
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: better certainly three hits, five innings, against the Reds, he

549
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: truck out five who walked to but just sixty six

550
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: percent of his pitches were strikes. And I think a

551
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: lot of people are looking at it like, yeah, okay,

552
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: it was much better, but it still doesn't feel like

553
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: last year's dominant schemes, which is interesting because not only him,

554
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: but all the guys we're gonna talk about pretty much

555
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: are all like WBC guys quote unquote that I don't

556
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: know if maybe they went balls to the wall too soon,

557
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: But do you have any concerns about when you've seen

558
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: that of Skeins his first two starts. I know the

559
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: results were better yesterday, but some of the deeper stats

560
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: on it were still kind of less than Paul Skin's elite.

561
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: I just don't and I don't want to be lazy

562
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: about it or anything like that, but like, no, I don't.

563
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: It's you know, the runs in the first game obviously

564
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: are inflating everything. I mean, when you like one, maybe

565
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 2: negative when you look deeper type of things. His fastball

566
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 2: is down about about a half a mile per hour,

567
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: which is maybe, but it is expected ere a. It's

568
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 2: two three seven, Yeah, yeah, he has a nine to

569
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: five to three. It's an expected two three seven. He's

570
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 2: still getting the whiffs. He's gonna get much bigger whiff

571
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 2: numbers as we go. The arsenal has been kind of interesting.

572
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 2: That's what I'm really looking to pay attention because he

573
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 2: was his third most thrown pitch last year was a

574
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 2: split finger, and he's bare. He's not really using I

575
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 2: mean he's like eight percent, so it's down quite a bit.

576
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 2: And he's been a lot more heavy sweeper this year,

577
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 2: and the sweeper isn't getting as much on or actually no,

578
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 2: it was last year he was heavy sweeper. He's also

579
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: kind of dumped that down, so like right now he's

580
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: like four seams sinker change up. That's kind of lacking

581
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: the big k's that you're gonna want out of him.

582
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: And I'm just curious, if you know, again, the first

583
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: game is probably skewing stuff. I'm just not worried about.

584
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: Him, all right, So okay there, what about cal Rawley

585
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: fifteen k's to start the year. I know, big hit

586
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: last night, but take a look at this. He's not

587
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: the only struggling slugger too. Cal Rawley hitting a buck

588
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: eighty four point fifty ops. Kyle Schwarber got two of

589
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: runs open the year, but he's hitting under two hundred

590
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: show Heo Tani also WBC guy hitting under he's at

591
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: one eighty seven. I believe that is or was it

592
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: one sixty seven? Out of my eyes are old Aaron

593
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: Judge at one twenty five to start the year two.

594
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: We only had that big or strikeout night to start.

595
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: All these guys are in the WBC. I think it's

596
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: just a coincidence.

597
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 2: But I was about to ask you, do you like

598
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: something you're attaching the curious what your WBC take here is.

599
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: I think that those are very high pressure games. You know,

600
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: the measurement of some of these games too, with the innings,

601
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, the high stress innings and stuff like that.

602
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: I think there is something about the performance element of

603
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: having to go into those big time crowd scenarios and

604
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I don't know if it's like a

605
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: mental letdown, but it's also physically I think a little

606
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: taxing for the guys that haven't ramped up yet, like

607
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: they were asked to do that out of the gate, right.

608
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the equivalent of saying, Okay, you're

609
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna go throw a complete game here in a WBC

610
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: and then like you're gonna have to turn around and

611
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, well, now the expectations

612
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: are much different, and you're just throwing a game against

613
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: the White Sox like it's I'm not saying those guys

614
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: did that. What I'm saying is I think that there

615
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: is a certain stress level of those innings. I don't

616
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: know if it's mentally end or physically just kind of

617
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: happens so quickly for them that I think there feels

618
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: like an adjustment period. Because it's a lot of these

619
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: guys whils, so it's not just like one. We can

620
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: name about ten of these guys that are kind of

621
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: struggling out of the gate who were WBC guys.

622
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 2: So like, I feel like it should be the opposite

623
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: of what we're saying, because a lot you get slow

624
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 2: starts out of the gate, because these guys are not

625
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: in spring. There's no there's no high pressure situation. They've

626
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: got to work themselves up into getting into that season mode.

627
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: They're not mentally locked in. Sometimes you have a slow

628
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 2: first month. So I would think that it's the exact opposite.

629
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: It should be the exact opposite. But to be fair,

630
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 2: there is a very high percentage, especially of high end

631
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: players that are struggling that have that WBC connection. Maybe

632
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: it is the routine change, you know, maybe that's more

633
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 2: of what it is instead of like the high pressure stuff.

634
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, they don't go and do some

635
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 2: of their normal workouts with their teams. They're not connected

636
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: in that way. Maybe they're playing a little bit less,

637
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: they're they're traveling, they're in different environment, and maybe that's

638
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 2: just kind of lagged a tiny bit. But mentally for me,

639
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 2: it should be like the exact opposite. They're checking in

640
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 2: to a high competitive nature earlier than any other player before.

641
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 2: So I think it's like a weird, unique coincidence more

642
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: than anything else. But maybe there is a connection. And

643
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know about you. I look at

644
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: this list and I'm like, yeah, you know some of

645
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: the thinks cal Raley is the one that jumps out

646
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 2: to me. And I think we had posted towards the

647
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 2: back end of the season doing some different videos, and

648
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 2: you know, I had put you know, potential busts like

649
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 2: cal Rawley even though you know, he could still put

650
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: up a forty home run season with a lower average

651
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: and he could be solid but the stuff you're seeing

652
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 2: early on, yes, very small sample size. I'm almost tired

653
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: of caveating everything we talk about with small sample sizes.

654
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: Can we all just agree that we understand and know

655
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 2: it and we're talking in the same way. But like

656
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 2: it's so bad, Like cal Rally was so bad in

657
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: the WBC. He's come back into this season, he's so

658
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: bad again. Obviously things are gonna like median out and

659
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: stuff like that, but it doesn't look like we are

660
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: close to the version of what we had last year,

661
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: like the high end version of cal Raley. If it's

662
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 2: two twenty with thirty homers, people are gonna riot in here.

663
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: But he's got a fifty that's not a percent and

664
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: it's bad. No, no, you know that.

665
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: Then that's the big problem there have Roman Anthony, we

666
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: talked about two. Now, look, Roman Anthony, I'm buying and

667
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: the other guy that I'm buying off a slow star

668
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: is in eighty Evaldi because last year the era was

669
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: so ridiculous. It was one seven three, The Babbock was

670
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: two forty three. He's got twelve strikeouts at eight and

671
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: two thirds innings. The babbit this year is four eighty

672
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: one and the era is eleven forty two. Like his

673
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: velocity is good. Everything is fine with the Evaldi. He's

674
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: my first big buy out of the gate because I

675
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: think it's just two wacky starts that happened right out

676
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: of that and everything looks good for him. So I

677
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: would trade for him. Some of the rookies to talk about.

678
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: Kevin McGonagall two for four with a triple Wednesday against

679
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: the Dbacks, Justin Crawford, game winning single, three for five

680
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: in that day. Great day for Justin Crawford. Samuel Basaio

681
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: two for five, his first dinger, and Max Clark two

682
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: for five with a pair of doubles Wednesday. That's another

683
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: guy too that I would circle to be adding as well.

684
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: If you're looking at the you look at your roster

685
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: and you don't like what you're seeing, and you want

686
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: some help from the minor leagues, and I think Max

687
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: Clark could be a guy that comes up faster than

688
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: you might realize. Let's also get to the three up

689
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: and three down. Jack kag Leon three for four with

690
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: three runs scored today, Jacob Mizerowski and up seven strikeouts

691
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: for him. He is rocking and rolling to start the year.

692
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: No decision though against the Raisin Freddy peralta bounce back

693
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: start for him, seven strikeouts, two walks, but like Miserowski,

694
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: also a no decision. The downs Joe Ryan five runs

695
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: and four innings. You say, Kakuchi five runs and five

696
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: and a third and Garrett Crochet lost to the Dodgers

697
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: five runs, four earned. But really it was Alvarez and

698
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: Korea kind of did the damage. So I would not

699
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: overreact Welsh to the Garrett Crochet bad outing.

700
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: No, not at all. I mean he overreacted. I don't

701
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: even saw him after. He's like, I let everybody down.

702
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: And now Garrett Crochet is about the only bright spot

703
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: outside of my boy, will you or bray on that

704
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 2: Red Sox team right now? One of the most disappointing teams,

705
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: and you know, you just unfortunately you got to look

706
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: at this team and what was the biggest deficiency in

707
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: them in the off season was they didn't get Alex

708
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: Bregmant and they didn't know what the hell to do.

709
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 2: They spend all their money on pitching, which has been

710
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: kind of eh and their hitting is letting them down

711
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: right now. It is will your bray, you, Carlos Navarez

712
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: and nobody else, you know that obviously it'll pick up

713
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,719
Speaker 2: a little bit, but I'd be very worried about this

714
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: team might create some more fantasy opportunities if you know,

715
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: they just start kind of letting loose and they're just

716
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: you know, having to be more aggressive hopefully on the

717
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: base paths. But not worried about Garic Crochet at all.

718
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: Huge buye if anybody is, and you know, circling back

719
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: roman anthey of those struggling guys, one of my biggest

720
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: buys as well, fully in on trying to get him

721
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: at a low cost.

722
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,120

Speaker 1: more here on our docket of great stuff to talk

734
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: about Major League Baseball. Some of it's good, some of

735
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: it's not good. When it comes to injuries. Jackson Holiday,

736
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: working his way back from that wrist, is two for

737
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: three with a double in the minor league rehab game

738
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: of Triple A, so hopefully the Orioles will get him

739
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: back sooner than later.

740
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 2: You ever wonder why is his Why did his hammate bone.

741
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: From the beginning of the conversation was worse.

742
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like I guess I wanted to know why,

743
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 2: Like it seemed like they were all about the same,

744
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: but for whatever reason, his is what took.

745
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: We were all in the same like forty eight hour period. Yeah,

746
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: the same Jackson Holidays happened. It was He's gonna miss time,

747
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: whereas all the other guys were playing and watching runs

748
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: all over the place the other night.

749
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so weird. It just must have been.

750
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: Must have been where it was, or the degree of

751
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: it or I don't know, it had to be something else.

752
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,239
Speaker 2: Did he wait? I don't Yeah, I don't know.

753
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: Was it the front hand or the backhand of the

754
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: swing too, Like Lindora is a switch hitter, right, so

755
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: Carol's a left handed hitter. Was it something about Jackson Hall?

756
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. It had to be maybe

757
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: it was a more maybe the break was worse or

758
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: where it was. I don't, I don't know. I'm not

759
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: a doctor, and.

760
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: I like it now. I'm just like, you're totally curious,

761
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 2: like what was the thing that made that be, uh,

762
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: you know, be like a three four week longer process.

763
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: Do we even have the old Jackson holiday photos anymore?

764
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: I don't even know the little And by the way,

765
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: wasn't he the first one? Wasn't he the very first

766
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: of that whole group that had the handmaid issue?

767
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: Do we do we have the little Debbie Jacks?

768
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: I bet that's not even loaded in here anymore.

769
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: If not, we got to find it. We got to

770
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: bring it back, because I do enjoy doing that voice.

771
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: It is fun. Josh Hater continuing to ramp up facing

772
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: live hitters, and with the way that Bullpend's gone for

773
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: the use and ash so far, sooner than later, it

774
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: would be good. Tristan Cossas had a setback though, dealing

775
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: with the knee will be shut down after setting a

776
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: situation where he's got the intercostal strain. So Tristan Cossas,

777
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it just looks like it's never gonna happen

778
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: for him, which sucks.

779
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be a long it's gonna be

780
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: a long road back. It really feels like that road

781
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: is gonna be him somewhere else. I mean, I guess

782
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 2: the team has been supportive of him, but like, this

783
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: is bad. It is really really bad of this miss

784
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 2: time that the missed maaturation Like I'm just I hate

785
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 2: being out but done.

786
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: No, it does suck. I mean, it's just disappointing. All right,

787
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: let's get to our home run calls of the day.

788
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: We'll look at the home run board first, see where

789
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: everybody's stacking up. It's a light slate today, so not

790
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: allowed to choose from yea, So let's see who's up

791
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: at the top. We'll get at who'd at and Welsh

792
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: who'd ad? Randy at four, Whips has got three, Billy's

793
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: got three, Wonky and Welsh both at one. I'm not

794
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: on the boarding out of get to get my home run,

795
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: but I feel like I'm gonna get it today. I

796
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: got a good feeling again. There's only a few games

797
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: on the slate. I'm gonna go with Jack hag Leon

798
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: one have a good day yesterday. I already picked Jack

799
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. I'm going back to that well

800
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: again for Jack kag Leon. Todge Bradley is a guy

801
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: gives up a lot of home runs, a lot of

802
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 1: fly balls, especially against left handers. One and a half

803
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: home run per nine rate last year against lefties. So

804
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: if Jack kag Leon is getting a home run today,

805
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: TODs Bradley's going to be the guy to help him

806
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: do it. So I'll take tags against Todge Bradley. Where

807
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: are you going with your limited choices on the board today?

808
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: I know it blew my mind. I was like, oh yeah,

809
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 2: we got nothing out there, and this was saying.

810
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: The winds are blowing out to twenty one mile an hour. Good.

811
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay in the game because that is where

812
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 2: our boy Arico went yesterday and he and CAGs just

813
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 2: missed one. But it was great to see CAGs kind

814
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,959
Speaker 2: of get back in and have a multi hit game.

815
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the guy. I have a ton

816
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 2: of shares of Vinipe give me, Vinie pas Quentino. This

817
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: is another one of those guys. If the winds are

818
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: blowing out and he gets the ball in the air

819
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: bing bang and boom. No pun intended on that. But

820
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: give me Vinny P. You can take Jack cag Leon

821
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:57,720
Speaker 2: will stay in the same game.

822
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: It's time everybody for the best beat of the day

823
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: with Joey p and the Welsh. Again, a limited slate

824
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball today, but that's okay. We'll still

825
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: fill something that we like somewhere, and I'm gonna go

826
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: with one of Welsh's Arizona Diamondbacks. Four and a half

827
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: strikeouts plus one twenty for Ryan Nelson. I think it's

828
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: a high upside play today the Braves can be prone

829
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,479
Speaker 1: to a little swing and miss. Also, you get those

830
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: day games sometimes too, where you get some guys in

831
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: the lineup that aren't usually in the lineup. So for me,

832
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Ryan Nelson and the four and a

833
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: half case. I think we can get to five. Nelson

834
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: had a terrific end of the season last year, strong spring,

835
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: one of our sleeper pitchers going into the year, so

836
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: I like Ryan Nelson there to go over that four

837
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: and a half I think you can get five, and

838
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: if so, it's a nice return to a plus one

839
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: twenty in this game today. So yeah, it's a formidable

840
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: lineup with Atlanta, but sometimes they do have a little

841
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: bit more of an aggressive streak. So Welsh, where are

842
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: you going for your best bet of the day today

843
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: from hard rock Bet?

844
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you your bet is my favorite bet.

845
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 2: I was going to put this up and you had

846
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 2: it and I was like, dang it. So I fully

847
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 2: fully ride with you, and I think that might be

848
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: the best bet of the day. Ryan Nelson over four

849
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 2: and a half strikeouts. I'm gonna stick in the same game, though,

850
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go with my boy. Ka tell Marte

851
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 2: could tell Marte switch hitting side, gonna get going in

852
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 2: this one. He had a three game hit streak between

853
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and the start of the Tigers. He's cooled

854
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 2: off the last two. We are gonna go total bases

855
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: in this one, and we just need two of them

856
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: and we're getting plus money on it. It's almost like

857
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: even to minus money if you want to go on

858
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: Corban Carrol Ktel's hitting at the top of the lineup.

859
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: I love Katel to get going here, So we're gonna

860
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 2: go plus money around like plus one fifteen to one,

861
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 2: twenty one point five total bases over for Katel.

862
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 1: And correction too. Braves dbacks is nine point forty tonight.

863
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: I was confusing that with the Royals game. We're just

864
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: talking about with the cag leone home run call. So

865
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: lots of fun stuff there to be wagering today, and

866
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,279

899
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 2: seems like it might be a calm before the storm.

900
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: You know. Enjoy a light slate, get ready, get raring

Speaker 2: into a weekend, these Friday slate of games with one

903
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: of the more anticipated rookie debuts in a long time.

904
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 2: That is going to be scattered around with maybe one

905
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 2: of the best rookie classes we have seen in so

906
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 2: many years, and they're all going to compare against each

907
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 2: other and then we're gonna have to see how they

908
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: fit on the fantasy team. Pitching has been wild in

909
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 2: baseball right now, hot, hot rookie performances. Friday is going

910
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 2: to be fantastic, So I guess enjoy a little mini

911
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 2: breather and catch up on all the great videos we've

912
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 2: got here. We got waiver hitters, pitchers that just posted,

913
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,160

00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: I gotta watch today about the Mets and Giants game too.

917
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: It feels like there's a lot it feels like things

918
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: have gotten off to a bad start for the Giants.

919
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: Also with the new manager, it just feels like it's

920
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: not a good fit. The Tello's. You know, it's a

921
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,560
