Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to betting pros. And no, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: ru's the wrong thing. Welcome into fantasy pros. No, no,
Speaker 1: that's the wrong thing. Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros.
Speaker 1: M LB. It is me, Joey p Joe Pi's apia
Speaker 1: with me is the Welsh. We are brought to you
Speaker 1: every single day here on leading off. I don't even
Speaker 1: know show I'm doing half the time. Welsh. It's craziness.
Speaker 1: This has happened to me more than once, by the way,
Speaker 1: and we're happy to have all the peanuts of the
Speaker 1: cracker Jacks here in the chat Live. We're brought to
Speaker 1: you by Prize Picks, which is a fantastic place to
Speaker 1: go make some money and watch some baseball and have
Speaker 1: some fun. The Welsh was watching some baseball last night.
Speaker 1: He and Bogman were out at the game last night
Speaker 1: for Arizona. Not the greatest result for the Gore Diamondbacks,
Speaker 1: but Welsh, I used to be at a baseball game.
Speaker 1: I imagine it.
Speaker 2: Was very good. I look, I actually looked a little rough.
Speaker 2: It was a full day. And I told you, I
Speaker 2: got up from this show and I went out to
Speaker 2: downtown Phoenix and Bogman and I went to a nice
Speaker 2: little urban room and hung out, and we spent the
Speaker 2: whole day in downtown Phoenix, watched the game. I got
Speaker 2: to watch my home run call happen live on a
Speaker 2: good Thing. And I think I've officially officially figured something
Speaker 2: else out. Bogmin'.
Speaker 1: It's freaky Friday, everybody. That's what we'll have.
Speaker 2: It's freaky Friday. Corbie Carroll sucks. I'm officially done with that.
Speaker 2: Corbie Carroll sucks. I'm out. He's the worst player I've
Speaker 2: This is getting changed. I'm changing this for Monday. Maybe
Speaker 2: it's a reverse curse. I don't know, but I had
Speaker 2: everything going for Carrol last night, had a three to
Speaker 2: zero count, almost had a walk. Couldn't do it.
Speaker 1: Remember when Julia Rodriguez sucked in April last year? Do
Speaker 1: we remember that? Can I remind everybody that relaxed, being patient? Everybody,
Speaker 1: It's going to be fun.
Speaker 2: I'm over it. But Freddie Freeman did get me on
Speaker 2: the board. That's all that really matters. We finally got
Speaker 2: back into it.
Speaker 1: Justin calling you out. Corbyn Carroll's a trash panda. There
Speaker 1: you go. He is not a trash panda. He is
Speaker 1: a very good baseball player, very good season by low.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be in your trade video next week. I
Speaker 1: guarantee it, guarantee I'm gonna I'm gonna be buying him
Speaker 1: right now. I was trying to kick the tires on
Speaker 1: him in a league and people are like, I don't
Speaker 1: really want to deal Gorbi Carroll's like, okay, okay, Now
Speaker 1: it's the perfect time. This is the calm before the storm.
Speaker 1: Go back and look at Julio Rodriguez April, folks, if
Speaker 1: you forgot, it's a harsh reminder. No home runs. I
Speaker 1: think he hit about like two twenty or something like
Speaker 1: that was terrible. Look, people were saying, now they were
Speaker 1: gonna send him back.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, you have the you have the Julio Yeah,
Speaker 3: pulling out, pulling it up right now, very f You
Speaker 3: know what I've continuously done, and I'm obviously the big defender,
Speaker 3: and he has killed multiple he has killed multiple bets
Speaker 3: for me.
Speaker 2: But the thing that's killing me is the no walks.
Speaker 2: And I can't get over it. I can't get over
Speaker 2: how he will not generate a walk. He got to
Speaker 2: a three ball count last night and then started swinging
Speaker 2: and ended up, grounding out to first. It's just kind
Speaker 2: of continuously what he does. He's just so hyper aggressive.
Speaker 2: All right, So last March April for Julio Rodriguez let
Speaker 2: it go. I just had it and he had Here
Speaker 2: we go. I don't know why this is? Who did
Speaker 2: I who?
Speaker 1: Oh the internet works?
Speaker 2: Well, that's no, I don't, I don't. It was a
Speaker 2: bourbon thing I was on twenty twenty three, all right.
Speaker 2: He hit two oh five between March and April. No homers,
Speaker 2: seven walks to thirty strikeouts, the second most strikeouts he
Speaker 2: ever had in a month. And uh he did, though,
Speaker 2: have nine stolen bases, So Cormans fine base to do it, though.
Speaker 1: It's fine Wonky Penguin of course, owning the chat as always.
Speaker 1: But don't look at Jerald Jared Kelnick's April No, don't,
Speaker 1: because that's that's a bad thing to do of last year.
Speaker 1: Don't look at that at all. But seriously, I mean,
Speaker 1: even Bobby would had a slow start last year. There's
Speaker 1: always a lot of expectations of these guys.
Speaker 2: I'm being dramatic.
Speaker 1: I'm being dramatic. I know, I know you are, but
Speaker 1: I know there's people out there that are already being
Speaker 1: very dramatic about Gortman Carroll and going why did we
Speaker 1: get so aggressive on Gorman Carroll? Relax, It's April seventh,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's it's good Friday, and a
Speaker 1: lot of people are on a holiday, so a lot,
Speaker 1: you know, people are off with the kids doing things,
Speaker 1: they're you know, attending services, doing all these things. So
Speaker 1: you can always watch it back on the YouTube channel
Speaker 1: if you missed it already. And I know we promised
Speaker 1: a video, but even though Welsh cut the video down,
Speaker 1: it's still too large for stream yard. So here's what
Speaker 1: we're gonna do to talk to the powers the base
Speaker 1: if we can get up on the YouTube channel as
Speaker 1: a short, so that'll be a good time, so you
Speaker 1: can watch Welsh myself compete at David Busters. It's only
Speaker 1: a two minute video, but it's too big for the
Speaker 1: stream yard here on this, so we'll get that up
Speaker 1: there for you. But I have some fun things today
Speaker 1: for you, because I did promise a fun Friday and
Speaker 1: I don't want to let people hang. So let's get
Speaker 1: to the headlines from yesterday's games. Freddy Freeman powering the
Speaker 1: Dodgers pass the Diamondbacks. I was happy because I put
Speaker 1: money on Freddy Freeman at plus four fifteenth did home
Speaker 1: run and guess what was the only other bet I made,
Speaker 1: And it made up for my terrible parlay where Lancelaine
Speaker 1: got the crap eat out of him. More on that
Speaker 1: and coming up. Evan Phillips recorded the second save on Thursday.
Speaker 1: Gradorol hasn't been a factor at all. He has not
Speaker 1: pitched well and he has been banged up.
Speaker 2: He said he was banged up last night too. That
Speaker 2: was why Phil Bickford came in the eighth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know what. And Phillips looks like he's
Speaker 1: the same guy, which was what we thought initially, and
Speaker 1: then we heard some other rumors. Mookie Betts was back
Speaker 1: in the line, so that's good. Orlando Arcia delivers a
Speaker 1: walk off against the Padres in that same game for
Speaker 1: the Braves. Spencer Stryder struck out nine guys in that one.
Speaker 1: Pierce Johnson recorded his second save on Thursday for the
Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies and Daniel Bard's absence, we don't know what
Speaker 1: he's gonna be back. Fascinating game there with the Rockies
Speaker 1: and the Nats. Welsh Josiah Gray and Kyle Freeland just
Speaker 1: throwing goose eggs up there. Would you make of that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we actually had that. That one was out and
Speaker 2: it was on while we were kind of out just
Speaker 2: hanging around downtown because they weren't a ton of games
Speaker 2: on and we were both staring at We actually went
Speaker 2: to Guy Fieri's restaurant that was right next to Chase
Speaker 2: and we were sitting there and we're watching and I
Speaker 2: just kept looking over and I was like, why are
Speaker 2: there no runs in this game? Just a greet Cayl
Speaker 2: for what's going on? And then we looked and it
Speaker 2: was one to nothing, just a lot of bad contact.
Speaker 2: This is where Colorado is supposed to do. If there
Speaker 2: were a couple, I think jerks of Profile might of
Speaker 2: Rob de Hoomer as well. But yeah, it was a
Speaker 2: wild game. Kyle Freeland actually pitching pretty well, and Josiah
Speaker 2: Gray sneaky in some spots. Probably Josiah Gray definitely a
Speaker 2: streamer in appropriate matchups. I think you can actually throw
Speaker 2: him out there, as can you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who would have thought the appropriate MATCHU would be
Speaker 1: in Colorado in the day that did not have my
Speaker 1: BINGO card marked off? That's for sure. Let's continue on
Speaker 1: with some of the other things we had from yesterday
Speaker 1: and headlines. Garrett Whitlock withing eight in double A. So
Speaker 1: he's on his way back. That's great. If he's floating
Speaker 1: around your waiver wire, pick him up now, don't wait,
Speaker 1: pick him up now. Please listen to me. Vlad Guerrero
Speaker 1: Junior had three hits and a homer in the victory
Speaker 1: as well. Plus the most important headline of yesterday, not
Speaker 1: to be buried in the lead is our good friend
Speaker 1: Kelly Kirby, the Wonky Penguin herself, who has been working
Speaker 1: as a freelancer here at Fantasy Pros for the last
Speaker 1: two years. I believe if memory serves will get us
Speaker 1: what freelancer no more. She is now full time with
Speaker 1: us at Fantasy Pros. So I want everybody in the
Speaker 1: chat congratulate the Wonky Penguin. Congratulate Kelly well deserved, one
Speaker 1: of the smartest and hardest working folks out there in
Speaker 1: the baseball space, in the you know, Fantasy Pros world.
Speaker 1: We are so happy to have her as part of
Speaker 1: our Fantasy Pros full time family here. So give her
Speaker 1: some congrats. Throw some love to the Wonky Penguin. I
Speaker 1: love that the.
Speaker 2: Most recent comment is classic Kelly snark of see if
Speaker 2: you can get Corbyn care for us, for Josiah Gray, everyone.
Speaker 2: I love the key, but that's the brand again, that's
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. That's Kelly's.
Speaker 1: And just two years ago the penguin was just a
Speaker 1: peanut and a cracker jack. She was just hanging out
Speaker 1: the chat watching the baseball. Growns up. She's all growns up,
Speaker 1: and here she is, so fantastic day for us, So
Speaker 1: that that made my day yesterday legitimately made my day yesterday.
Speaker 1: I was so happy. What doesn't make people's days? Or injuries?
Speaker 1: Michael Harris exiting with that issue. That's never a good thing.
Speaker 1: Bats are never good. Jazz Chisholm expects to play today
Speaker 1: against the Mets after that shoulder stinger that he had.
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Mets, Omar Narvaya is going to the IL.
Speaker 1: He's going to miss eight to nine weeks. Welsh, Look,
Speaker 1: the Mets have nothing to lose by playing Alvarez. If
Speaker 1: Valvarez out there in your league, and chances are you know,
Speaker 1: I would say around fifty percent he is, If not more,
Speaker 1: I'd have to check what he is right now in
Speaker 1: terms of roster percentage. But there's no reason for the
Speaker 1: Mets not to give him a shot and let him
Speaker 1: get some at bats. You don't bring this guy up
Speaker 1: to sit, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Oh no, wells, but that's the reason why he wasn't
Speaker 2: here before. If they were going to allow him to
Speaker 2: just sit, he would have probably made the opening day roster.
Speaker 2: But no, they wanted him to get run. He's gonna
Speaker 2: get to be one of the guys here and he actually,
Speaker 2: you know what's great about this, In a lot of spots,
Speaker 2: he doesn't have catcher eligibility right now, so if you
Speaker 2: can get him in these games, we can reacquire. He
Speaker 2: was utilh only, which kept him off a couple spots.
Speaker 2: That's actually why I think he's more available than you
Speaker 2: would expect because of that stupid util only. But yeah,
Speaker 2: no pick up Francisco Alvarez that was going early in
Speaker 2: triple A. Even run in a little bit, and as
Speaker 2: long as the catching stuff doesn't get really really awful,
Speaker 2: which at this point, I mean, all the cat what
Speaker 2: are the catchers doing? They's just framing. You know, you
Speaker 2: can't throw anymore, You can't throw any guys out or
Speaker 2: anything like that it's just about framing. So if the
Speaker 2: framing is up there, they don't even need to call
Speaker 2: the games, especially in a veteran pitching staff like that.
Speaker 2: Out the what Alvarez is required to do is so
Speaker 2: much less than a catcher was like ten years ago.
Speaker 2: I mean, legit, you barely have to throw because they're stealing,
Speaker 2: and you don't have to even call the game. So
Speaker 2: just frame, You're all good. Francisco Alvarez definitely a pickup.
Speaker 1: For Rostered on CBS. I like the U CBS because
Speaker 1: a lot more people are paying for it as well.
Speaker 1: Stuff Always think that's a better one to look at.
Speaker 1: So I'm also cool little things here From the chat,
Speaker 1: Larry wants to know when the cousin Donnie betting segment
Speaker 1: is making the show. I do want to know that.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 2: I would love to see Donnie just like make a
Speaker 2: bet every day, you know how, like we flip the
Speaker 2: coin for the Homer, just like don just say.
Speaker 1: The bets Donn Arizona. It's legal. You go out there,
Speaker 1: you make a bet. We're gonna whatever your betting on
Speaker 1: that day, We'll put on the shows. The Official slash
Speaker 1: Unofficial cousin Donnie Bet of the day. Let's continue on
Speaker 1: with some of the headlines too, and talk about, uh,
Speaker 1: some of the ups and downs from yesterday. Lad Guerrero
Speaker 1: was certainly in up three for five with a homer,
Speaker 1: two runs and RBI for him Rafaeld Devers, who I
Speaker 1: kicked myself, Welsh. I had him in the prize picks.
Speaker 1: He was gonna be my home run pick. I kept
Speaker 1: going back and forth. I did not get my home run. Pick.
Speaker 1: I should have picked Devors. I wouldn't be.
Speaker 2: Obviously right now, think in the same way. I actually Devors.
Speaker 2: I wanted to put in multiple man the prize picks across,
Speaker 2: and I didn't.
Speaker 1: I here's the here's the fun thing too. How mad
Speaker 1: were you that I came back in my first day
Speaker 1: I had a home run? Did that really tweak you
Speaker 1: because you were on the cold streak yesterday? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of it. It's insane. You came right out
Speaker 2: the gates with the wander fronto homer. I mean, listen,
Speaker 2: I was in a dilemma. You gotta understand. Last night
Speaker 2: there are forty eight thousand people, twenty of them were
Speaker 2: probably Dodger fans. But I'm sitting on Diamondback fans as
Speaker 2: a Diamondback fan, and I needed one base. I needed
Speaker 2: one hit from Freddy Freeman to cash two different bets,
Speaker 2: because one of my bets yesterday, if you guys followed,
Speaker 2: was total basis Freddy Freeman. I had a fantasy score
Speaker 2: on another pick up thing, and then I had the
Speaker 2: home run call. Freddie hits that opposite field of homer,
Speaker 2: and I go yes, and then I just kind of
Speaker 2: like duck my head, put my arms out. I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'm at Diamondbacks fans here. I was pretty
Speaker 2: stoked to get on the board because you weren't even
Speaker 2: here and you would.
Speaker 1: Already hear it was just a beer today, by the way.
Speaker 1: In more misery for Mets fans news, the third up yesterday,
Speaker 1: Michael Confordo with three for four, a homer, three runs,
Speaker 1: three rebies, two walks. Michael Confordo looking really sharp yesterday.
Speaker 1: I had real concerns about Canforda going into the year
Speaker 1: because he hadn't played in the whole season he had
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury. This was a big game for him
Speaker 1: early on. We'll see if it continues to carry over.
Speaker 1: The Giants offense just lit up Lance Linn more on
Speaker 1: him in a second, But we kept saying, you know,
Speaker 1: why take Jock Peterson where you can wait another two
Speaker 1: rounds and just take Michael Confordo. And so far that
Speaker 1: logic seems to be paying off, because Conforido looks pretty good,
Speaker 1: better than I anticipated him looking at this stage, especially
Speaker 1: in April. I don't know if it maintains, but Confordo,
Speaker 1: another guy welshit. You know, I'm sure in some of
Speaker 1: the more shallow leagues is floating out there. Would you
Speaker 1: take a flyer on Confordo getting back to form because
Speaker 1: at his peak this was a twenty five to thirty
Speaker 1: home run guy, hit a two sixty five batting average type.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I mean he can start off awful against
Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Yankee series he was hitless. So
Speaker 2: coming into this Chicago series having two multi hit games,
Speaker 2: having some homers in there, absolutely the Giants offense wants
Speaker 2: to get going. And I don't know particularly how great
Speaker 2: the pitching is in the NLST right now when they're
Speaker 2: playing those games. So yeah, Confordo is totally It's not
Speaker 2: even really a speculative ad. He's probably dropped in a
Speaker 2: whole lot of spots of people freaking out after that
Speaker 2: Yankee series, and I'd swip him.
Speaker 1: Up, all right. Some guys maybe that had some bad days.
Speaker 1: Yesterday on Thursday, land Slim had a bad day. I'm
Speaker 1: not worried at all. It was the day game. He
Speaker 1: left a couple of pitches up, all the pitches he
Speaker 1: left up coming out of the yard. I'm not worry.
Speaker 1: He was great in spring. He was due for a
Speaker 1: bad game. If he has two or three, then we'll worry.
Speaker 1: He's the Alray's at nine. He gave up eight earned
Speaker 1: runs yesterday, five k's. After the game, he just said,
Speaker 1: I just sucked. Like some days just don't have it.
Speaker 1: Some days lead balls up and they go out of
Speaker 1: the ballpark. Spencer turnball was a turnstyle five and two thirds,
Speaker 1: five earned for him, one strikeout, gave up a home
Speaker 1: run his Thera's at thirteen point five, but all Man
Speaker 1: the third down. Blake Snell Welsh all Man three and
Speaker 1: two third, six hits, four earned, four walks, only two
Speaker 1: k's eras seven eight, eight. Man, what you're doing? It's
Speaker 1: my Blake Snell voice.
Speaker 2: Oh man, okay, yeah, no, man, yeah, knowing a lot today,
Speaker 2: well Snell was on my trade four early on in
Speaker 2: the video that I posted. This is not what you
Speaker 2: want to see. But I'm still a couple. I'm still
Speaker 2: going to give it just a tiny bit because the
Speaker 2: strikeout numbers were crazy. He did not have Andlan was
Speaker 2: also like, it's a really tough matchup. But in that
Speaker 2: first game he had all those swinging misses. He was
Speaker 2: getting strikeouts, but the ineffectiveness with the walks, you're seeing
Speaker 2: it again. I would just point out that last year,
Speaker 2: his first two months of the season, and that doesn't help,
Speaker 2: especially for the trade video side. Maybe we needed to
Speaker 2: save this from May. He was absolutely lit up four
Speaker 2: eight ERA in May because he was out April and
Speaker 2: a six two ERA in June, but then he proceeded
Speaker 2: to have an under three ERA July on the rest
Speaker 2: of the entire year, so he's definitely a slow starter.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't go crazy freaking out about Blake Snell. If anything,
Speaker 2: I think this opened up more of a buying opportunity
Speaker 2: on the real, real low. But the walks have got
Speaker 2: to stop.
Speaker 1: It's brutal. Justin in the chat, Blake Lively is better
Speaker 1: than Blake's now, I can't disagree. She's hilarious on social
Speaker 1: media by the way, her and her husband Ryan Reynolds
Speaker 1: going at it. Oh yeah, time or so funny. That's
Speaker 1: that's what you that's what you're looking there. Then you're
Speaker 1: looking for that kind of relationship in life. But look
Speaker 1: the Snell stuff. It's the inefficiency with Snell, which is
Speaker 1: why even though you made and a lot of people
Speaker 1: made a lot of good cases for the ADP being
Speaker 1: you know, too low on Snell, I thought it was
Speaker 1: deserved because the inefficiencies are always what comes around with him.
Speaker 1: When he is efficient, he's a very good pitcher. When
Speaker 1: he's not, unfortunately, it's he's becomes a fantasy liability. And
Speaker 1: I think that's something that it's puzzling as to why.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a mental thing, if it's
Speaker 1: a mechanical thing, I don't know what that reason is.
Speaker 1: And you know, when he's on the West Coast, I
Speaker 1: don't get to see as much Blake Snell. You see
Speaker 1: the highlights, you don't really get to watch full games
Speaker 1: very often. So that's just something to you know, keep
Speaker 1: in mind that if he has a good run here
Speaker 1: and you're not buying it, then maybe you get out
Speaker 1: of the Blake Snell business.
Speaker 2: Yeah here was a well maybe yeah maybe. By the way,
Speaker 2: I'm taking a look here too, the swing and Missus
Speaker 2: were way down again because I had I hadn't really
Speaker 2: looked into the start slider up fastball. The velos were
Speaker 2: kind of down. It was Yeah, it was just ineffectiveness
Speaker 2: and no command. It didn't look like anything else really
Speaker 2: really worrisome though. The change up even went down further.
Speaker 2: And I know no one wants them to throw that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know you could get out of
Speaker 2: the Blake Snell business, but I think it might be
Speaker 2: a little bit too early.
Speaker 1: I remember it is fun Friday. So I got some
Speaker 1: fun stuff lined up here on the show. And Troy
Speaker 1: wants to know where do we post home run calls? Well, Troy,
Speaker 1: you post them Mad Fantasypros dot Com slash chat in
Speaker 1: our discord. That's what you do. So join the discord.
Speaker 1: It's free to joined, and go look for the home
Speaker 1: Run channel and then you can get some free stuff.
Speaker 1: We're giving away, giveing away monthly prizes, We're giving away
Speaker 1: an annual prize. Is gonna be so much fun, good things.
Speaker 1: Getting the home run contest. It's April you got plenty
Speaker 1: of time. Hey, you get one right today you're tied
Speaker 1: with Welsh. This is a fun article. It was on
Speaker 1: MLB that I took. It was key trends and takeaways
Speaker 1: from the first week of baseball. I thought this was fun.
Speaker 1: Welsh ironically, bab it is up? Who would have thought
Speaker 1: batting average balls and play in the league is up.
Speaker 1: That is a good trend. You know why because the
Speaker 1: shift is not what it used to be. So of
Speaker 1: course babbitb is up and that's good for baseball. The
Speaker 1: time of game still low, also good. Here's what was
Speaker 1: interesting to me. A lot of hitters setting personal best
Speaker 1: in exit velocity marks. And some of the names are
Speaker 1: not your normal names, like you know it's it's guys
Speaker 1: like Jake Berger going one hundred and sixteen and a
Speaker 1: half going, Josh Lowe and one oh nine, Brandon Donovan
Speaker 1: one o nine. It begs the question, are we is
Speaker 1: this April or is this the juice ball back?
Speaker 2: Oh man, you undersold it too. Taylor Modern had I
Speaker 2: think the second hardest at one fourteen point eight.
Speaker 1: That tells you, Taylor Matter one fourteen point eight, mos,
Speaker 1: brow are you?
Speaker 2: I would never discount that The juice ball is back.
Speaker 2: If you someone said it, I'd be like, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: I believe it. If I were to look in a
Speaker 2: different direction, I wonder if it's also just the approach
Speaker 2: with pitching, in the fast pitch stuff. I mean, you
Speaker 2: like it's wild when you're especially at a game like
Speaker 2: I was last night, with like how quick you turn
Speaker 2: your head one left or right and all of a
Speaker 2: sudden the next pitch is coming. I wonder if it
Speaker 2: is part of the approach and the setup. There's a
Speaker 2: whole lot less going on reaction time with hitters, maybe
Speaker 2: a little bit more on point, you know, it'd be
Speaker 2: interesting to look at like pitch usages and a sweepers
Speaker 2: or renowned and everything like that. But maybe fastball ue
Speaker 2: usage is up. I don't know. I tend to think
Speaker 2: that also the speed of the game might be playing
Speaker 2: a little bit of a role in some of this.
Speaker 2: But also that doesn't like attest to the science behind it,
Speaker 2: which really the only true answer. Besides we have the
Speaker 2: shift and babbit going up for hard X velocities would
Speaker 2: really just be the juice ball, you know, the air
Speaker 2: and judge ball. Maybe they just wanted to put the
Speaker 2: air and judge ball back into play for the whole year.
Speaker 1: Maybe they did. And just a reminder too, you have
Speaker 1: to be premium in order to get into the home
Speaker 1: run channel, and there's way to do that and that
Speaker 1: is one year free premium upgrade. Drop a comment below.
Speaker 1: You might be the person who wins that, which is amazing,
Speaker 1: or you just go to fancypros dot com slash upgrade
Speaker 1: slash premium. Excuse me, I can't remember anything today. It's Friday.
Speaker 1: My mind is complete. Mushypros dot com slash premium. That's
Speaker 1: where you upgrade to premium, because that's the word premium.
Speaker 1: Welsh what Oh no, there we go naked for a second.
Speaker 1: Speaking of all of the fun things going on now,
Speaker 1: Welsh was at the game yesterday and when mayor this
Speaker 1: might have to be the poll of the day. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put this up. There's a picture of Is this
Speaker 1: a picture of Welsh at the game.
Speaker 2: Or I know exactly here's the picture.
Speaker 1: I want everyone to take a good look at this
Speaker 1: picture and tell me did Welsh shave? Is this the
Speaker 1: Welsh because it kind of looks like the Welsh in
Speaker 1: his playing days for the Diamondbacks. If you can correctly.
Speaker 1: Guess who this is. Maybe it's the Welsh, maybe it's not.
Speaker 1: You will always win my undying respect everybody. And again
Speaker 1: this is the visual here, which is why you have
Speaker 1: to watch and subscribe to the YouTube channel. And fancy
Speaker 1: Bros MLB. I saw we just gained another hundred subscribers yesterday.
Speaker 1: Huge stuff. So take a good look. I want everybody
Speaker 1: to tell me is this the Welsh or is it
Speaker 1: someone else who actually did play or work for you?
Speaker 2: Take a good look, Take a good look, because you
Speaker 2: know what, there's nothing more offensive then someone being like,
Speaker 2: oh you know what you look like. It's always a fan.
Speaker 2: Has there ever been a time where someone's like, hey
Speaker 2: you look like and you're like, wow, that's a comped.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's offensive at all. I think this
Speaker 1: guy looks happy to be a diamondback. What is offensive?
Speaker 1: He's a good looking guy's easy.
Speaker 2: Joe profession, like, hey, you know who you look like?
Speaker 2: And you saw it and you're like wow, look at it.
Speaker 1: All the time that everybody says I look like the
Speaker 1: lead singer from Disturbed, that's what people say that I look.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I know, okay yea.
Speaker 1: And the funny thing is the other day we talked about, well,
Speaker 1: does Joe you know, look like the lead singer of Disturbed,
Speaker 1: And we talked about also the different wigs that I
Speaker 1: have to where when we get to fifteen thousand subscribers,
Speaker 1: and one of them was potentially a girl scout wig.
Speaker 1: So here's a fun picture of what that might look like.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Are you down with the finn Mins? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Get down with the fin Mins?
Speaker 2: Hold on, is that the is that the face of
Speaker 2: the Disturbed singer?
Speaker 1: That is the face of the Disturbed singer? You do
Speaker 1: look selling finns and a girl scout wig, so you
Speaker 1: actually look a lot like this guy I know. Idea boom.
Speaker 1: There you go. So I'll hope again if you're just
Speaker 1: listening to the show, you gotta you gotta watch.
Speaker 2: It's just this is at least for me. At least
Speaker 2: for me, nothing has ever been a positive. They're always negative.
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, John, I had.
Speaker 1: Like this one from Donnie c cousin. Donnie, you seem
Speaker 1: too happy in that picture, so can't possibly be you?
Speaker 2: No, I can't pig me. I had someone come up
Speaker 2: to me. I'm not even joking. I was with a
Speaker 2: friend to a spring training game and ask if I
Speaker 2: was John Lackey and I was like, I hate my Well.
Speaker 1: It's not John Lackey. So now anyone guessed in the
Speaker 1: chat who that is? All right, we're gonna go do
Speaker 1: some more baseball stuff. And while you're thinking about it,
Speaker 1: I want to hear your answers. Is it Welsh? And
Speaker 1: if anybody can figure out who that is?
Speaker 2: Let me tell you what a horrific like handle for
Speaker 2: me to have to If this is gonna be a game,
Speaker 2: is it the Welsh? It's gonna be a whole game.
Speaker 2: Now it's just gonna be pictures of monsters that look like.
Speaker 1: After all, is it the Welsh? I'm just saying.
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys are gonna go to the Goonies
Speaker 2: and pick the the Yeah, the monster and Goonies.
Speaker 1: Does this look like the Welsh? I want to have
Speaker 1: you on this weekend for Easter, and then on Monday
Speaker 1: I want you to come back to the show with
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks hat on and see if that works.
Speaker 2: Actually, I am I am shaving this week.
Speaker 1: I gotta get better bringing us back in properly. These
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this is Friday, folks. This is what happens.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some prize picks here, and
Speaker 1: of course, with prize picks, Welsh, you've been crushing these.
Speaker 1: What do you have on tap for us? I'll go
Speaker 1: through mine after yours.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you though. The Jordan Lyles one killed me yesterday.
Speaker 1: I just want five and two thirds. I texted you
Speaker 1: when I saw it. Well, all the response I gave.
Speaker 2: He got out of the fifth with ninety five pitches
Speaker 2: down five and the team brought him back in and
Speaker 2: then replaced him and he was able to get an
Speaker 2: out or two. He actually even gave up a walker
Speaker 2: hit on the first batter in the next inning. It
Speaker 2: was crazy to me. They just didn't want me to
Speaker 2: hit it. I've got two lock guys that I'm gonna
Speaker 2: have a wacko one today. So for prize picks, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go for a three first. So twenty bucks would
Speaker 2: pay you one hundred dollars if you want to do that,
Speaker 2: use a promo code. Leading off, I've got Trey Turner
Speaker 2: Fantasy score eight and a half points. I like that
Speaker 2: one today going up again. So I think it's the Reds, right,
Speaker 2: Hunter Green and the Reds. I've got Aaron Judge total bases.
Speaker 2: I think he's got like a four or five hundred
Speaker 2: record against Ian Kreamer. Yes, give me Aaron Judge Shuttle
Speaker 2: bases and follow me on this one. McKenzie gore strikeouts
Speaker 2: over four. His prop is actually at four and a half.
Speaker 2: I like him to hit five or six in this game,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna put mckenziy Gore in there. So one
Speaker 2: does not look like the other. Aaron Judge total bases,
Speaker 2: Fantasy score for Trade Turner and mckenzy Gore strikeouts over
Speaker 2: for my three piece on the Price Picks.
Speaker 1: Doesn't Dean Kreamer sound like one of those bad guys
Speaker 1: who runs the college in one of those crappy nineties movies, right, like,
Speaker 1: oh no, we pissed off Dean Kreamer.
Speaker 2: He's got like big, like slick back hair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's wearing a jacket with always really.
Speaker 2: Mean to his secretary. And yeah onred percent, don't forget everybody.
Speaker 1: Prize Picks will match one hundred percent of your first
Speaker 1: deposit up to one hundred dollars. Use that promo code
Speaker 1: leading off and could download the app or just go
Speaker 1: to prizepicks dot com. But you gotta use the promo
Speaker 1: code leading off. That's what you gotta do, all right.
Speaker 1: My picks for today, I'm sticking with the uh mostly
Speaker 1: the fantasy stuff today, but I do have one. I'm
Speaker 1: going back to the well with the Lucas Giolito and
Speaker 1: the the White Sox. Yesterday burn me bad. I'm learning
Speaker 1: to just move on along to the next day, very
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick Monson's five and a half pitcher strikeouts and
Speaker 1: going with the over on that one. Francisco Lindor hit
Speaker 1: her fantasy score over seven today and Showiltani tonight. That's right,
Speaker 1: you got your Dally Jotani eight and a half. I'm
Speaker 1: going over on that one as well. In terms of
Speaker 1: betting today, back on the White Sox again because I'm
Speaker 1: playing the Pirates. I don't care. Yesterday's a bad day,
Speaker 1: Shake it off. Move on, White Sox, Milwaukee Dodgers. You
Speaker 1: put those three favorites together, you get plus three oh
Speaker 1: seven on the money line over on FanDuel. Go make
Speaker 1: that wager today. I've already made that wager too. Throw
Speaker 1: ten bucks, you win thirty. It's a good day. Everyone's happy.
Speaker 1: Show Altani point five RBIs like the over on DraftKings
Speaker 1: on that Tyl McGill six and a half strikeouts. I
Speaker 1: think that number is way too high on FanDuel and
Speaker 1: going the under on that. Randy Arosarina point five RBI
Speaker 1: down against the Oakland A's today, that's over on DK
Speaker 1: point five. Again, these are straight from the prop bet
Speaker 1: chee sheet over at Betting Pro, so go check them out, Welsh,
Speaker 1: what are you wagering on today?
Speaker 2: Hey? Pointing out yesterday my money line parlay hit if
Speaker 2: you guys took it, and I think it was just
Speaker 2: Toronto and Atlanta, that one was a nice plus one fifty.
Speaker 2: I believe it was all right. So the plays that
Speaker 2: I have got for you today matt Olsen total bases.
Speaker 2: I like Judge and I like Trout, but they're both
Speaker 2: minus money on the total basis. But matt Olsen total
Speaker 2: bases one point five over. He's got a five seventy
Speaker 2: seven career record against. I'm completely blanking on the pitcher
Speaker 2: who's going against. That's plus one fifteen. So matt Olsen
Speaker 2: total bases. I have got two weird strikeout ones. One
Speaker 2: is the mckenzy gore one which is sitting around. I
Speaker 2: actually think it might be plus money right now, like
Speaker 2: plus one ten, one fifteen, Mackenzy Gore strikeouts four and
Speaker 2: a half. I'm taking over. This is the weirdest one,
Speaker 2: and you might have to pair it with something. Brad
Speaker 2: Keller strikeouts three and a half. He's got some new
Speaker 2: breaking balls. I love this one. It's minus one sixty
Speaker 2: on books though, so it's kind of a no better.
Speaker 2: You could pair it with Gore. I actually also did
Speaker 2: a pairing with Zach Eflin because I kind of like
Speaker 2: Eflyn today. But however you want to do it. And
Speaker 2: then finally, I'm going with a hits parlay and I'm
Speaker 2: putting that with three guys Olsen, Turner and Mike trut
Speaker 2: Just need one hit across the board that pays two hundred.
Speaker 2: Just have a little fundzies there and those are my bets, all.
Speaker 1: Right, let's settle this fundzie. This picture here again. Fantasy
Speaker 1: Pros YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash Fantasy Pros MLB.
Speaker 1: This is the MLB channel we want you to be
Speaker 1: a part of. If you're looking at it right now,
Speaker 1: this is not the Welsh. It is Rico Bronia. Ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, remember Rico Bronia played for the Mets.
Speaker 2: Great names.
Speaker 1: I played for the Phillies. You remember Rico Bronia, first baseman.
Speaker 1: Rico Bronia short lived time with the Diamondbacks. But my
Speaker 1: got You know, you always look like John Lackey. There's
Speaker 1: a John Lackey thing here. But something about this one here.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you if under the hat shaved, it's the
Speaker 1: smirk uh. And this is not Joe p as Apia,
Speaker 1: just so you know it is, it could be. It
Speaker 1: does look a lot like me. I know, I like
Speaker 1: the s'mores cookie. I think girls scalt cookies are overrated,
Speaker 1: hot take. I think they are. I think they're just
Speaker 1: it's fine. I like this, so I buy them every
Speaker 1: year to support. But I'm don't go crazy like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, the girlscout cookiees like, who cares?
Speaker 2: I got better, bit onto new stuff. I was just
Speaker 2: forced into buying popcorn for my kid to support their
Speaker 2: they've moved into snacks ten dollars bags of popcorn, so
Speaker 2: we'll see.
Speaker 1: How that goes. Yourra Is your daughter a girl scout?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, this is like a school fundraiser, and
Speaker 2: they have to they get something apparently for selling it
Speaker 2: and there's the most expensive popcorn, but it looks really good.
Speaker 2: Gourmet popcorn. Gourmet popcorn or thin mint Cormet popcorn.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, the thin mints are overrated. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: like I'd rather have an oreo. I'm gonna eat a cookie,
Speaker 1: just saying, but the s'mores cookie is very good. It's
Speaker 1: pointing out there, I look at the Smores cookie DFS.
Speaker 1: Here's what I like today. Here's your fun oppo. Play
Speaker 1: Zach Eflin at home eight point a K. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be very under rostered. If you're looking for a secondary
Speaker 1: picture on DK, go that route. Brandon woodro for ten
Speaker 1: to five, Clayon Kershaw ten eight. Those are your big
Speaker 1: dogs today. They got good matchups. Just do it. Milwaukee's
Speaker 1: whole lineup is still under rat underappreciated. I like the
Speaker 1: Milwaukee stack. You can kind of get some of the
Speaker 1: Dodger guys in the Tampa Bay guys using some of
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee guys. So I'm back on that train, which
Speaker 1: brings us, of course to the home run calls of
Speaker 1: the day, which is always a good time. The home
Speaker 1: Run Board as of today. Shout out to Ethan for
Speaker 1: making the board every day BHB daddy, not HGH daddy,
Speaker 1: which is a whole other thing. He's at five still
Speaker 1: where she's at five? They they, I guess the proper
Speaker 1: pronoun they are at five. Somebody give me a bud light.
Speaker 1: JJ Tator is up at four. I like the name
Speaker 1: jj Tator for home run.
Speaker 2: I like saying the word tater and just I'm.
Speaker 1: Rooting low key, I'm rooting for JJ Tator. I am
Speaker 1: going with Freddy Freeman tonight. I am going with Freddie
Speaker 1: Freeman for the weekend because I always like my make
Speaker 1: my weekend calls. He's got bum Gunner today, so I
Speaker 1: figure they're gonna getting that bullpen pretty quick. That's my guess.
Speaker 1: Either that her Bumgunner goes seven shutout innings. That seems
Speaker 1: to be what April's all about. But I'm going with
Speaker 1: your boy, Freddie Freeman, keeping the streak alive throughout the weekend. Welsh,
Speaker 1: where are you going for your home run call today?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Matt Olsen. Mad Elson's a part
Speaker 2: of my total bases. Like I said, it's a good
Speaker 2: there's a good BVP matchup here and see if I
Speaker 2: can possibly find it to give it to you real quick. Yeah,
Speaker 2: against Nick Martinez, he's got a couple career homers and
Speaker 2: only ten plate appearances. He's got two homers, a four
Speaker 2: forty four average and eleven hundred slug I like, and
Speaker 2: Mike Mayer completely copied me on this, but I think
Speaker 2: for the week I guess I'll go with Olsen for
Speaker 2: the weekend. I would say I almost went Judge. Judge
Speaker 2: was the other one if I had to have that.
Speaker 2: But you know, we're gonna go with Matt Olson. We'll
Speaker 2: lock it in for the weekend. Let's get some homers,
Speaker 2: Let's get more.
Speaker 1: On the board.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to.
Speaker 1: True story here from the vapors in the chat, peppermint
Speaker 1: JoJo's from Trader Joe's crushed in vanilla ice cream. No,
Speaker 1: absolutely a good thing.
Speaker 2: And what's hilarious. I have the JoJo's in my pantry
Speaker 2: right now, but they're the vanilla JoJo's from Trader Joe's.
Speaker 2: We didn't get the name.
Speaker 1: I haven't had the vanilla Joch.
Speaker 2: Phenomenal, phenomenal JoJo's Joe.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. So if I take a picture of
Speaker 1: myself eating the JoJo's, that's Joe eating JoJo's.
Speaker 2: That'd be a great item in the Fantasy Pro shop.
Speaker 2: Just have Joe faced Oreo.
Speaker 1: That's what everybody wants.
Speaker 2: Pat yourself with Joe this weekend.
Speaker 1: Everybody. It's some really uh some different takes here on
Speaker 1: the thin mins. Some people very much agree with me
Speaker 1: the positive grouch agreeing with me thin min's are the worst.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're the worst. I just don't. I
Speaker 1: think they're overrated. And then you two k thin Min's
Speaker 1: are awesome. Saying otherwise is blasphemous, so very very hot.
Speaker 1: Take you today in the chat. Things are going on
Speaker 1: there wells before we close out today, what are you
Speaker 1: looking forward to this weekend in Major League Baseball? You
Speaker 1: already did. Go Oh, Mayor just changed his home run call.
Speaker 1: I just saw it to c J Cron because he
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be like you. So CJ. Crone, everybody
Speaker 1: just got changed. Mayor the worst. He just doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be with you at all.
Speaker 2: I think that's it with me.
Speaker 1: Watch CJ. Cron has three home runs today and you
Speaker 1: get an er from metals.
Speaker 2: Over four strikeouts. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking for Cormyn
Speaker 2: Carroll to ever swing the bat properly. I'm looking forward
Speaker 2: to is he gonna sit to I told Bogman that
Speaker 2: last night before the game was over. I'm like, there's
Speaker 2: zero chance he plays. He's playing so bad, swinging through everything.
Speaker 2: Get him the hell out of there. It's against the lefty.
Speaker 2: No way he plays tonight. But I'm really looking forward
Speaker 2: to taking this autographed mantle and switching it out for
Speaker 2: another number seven, which will be putting up on the
Speaker 2: wall next week.
Speaker 1: Mets Opening Day today in their ballpark. The new screen.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen this. Uncle Steve bought
Speaker 1: us a new TV. It is ridiculous, so it's it's
Speaker 1: almost like the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. It feels like now
Speaker 1: it's like the biggest screen I've ever seen the baseball stadium.
Speaker 2: I saw that they actually had this weird edit in
Speaker 2: MLB the show where like they screwed up the screen
Speaker 2: so bad. It was like it was like a third
Speaker 2: of the entire video game screen because they didn't do
Speaker 2: it properly. Because it's some crazy wild screen that, yeah,
Speaker 2: that the Mets have put up. I'm excited to see it.
Speaker 2: I like big old screens back there.
Speaker 1: Big all screens are good. Big old home runs are
Speaker 1: even better to tail. Again, everybody, enjoy your holiday weekend here,
Speaker 1: enjoy that time with your friends, with your family, or
Speaker 1: if you haven't, you know, you're away from those folks,
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy the baseball and just you know, try
Speaker 1: to relax a little bit and take some time for yourself.
Speaker 1: It's good to do. It's good. Mental health is important.
Speaker 1: Take a little break, enjoy the weekend. Everybody, enjoy the baseball.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a lot of it. And again, remember
Speaker 1: it's only the first week or so of baseball. The
Speaker 1: things that happen here become a distant memory come May
Speaker 1: and June, so don't hyperventilate, don't get too crazy about everything.
Speaker 1: Put your waiver wire claims in. If you haven't already,
Speaker 1: go check out my waiver wire video and Welsh's trade video.
Speaker 1: It's right here on the Fantasy Pros MLB YouTube channel.
