Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful day. Welsh's hair is especially.
Speaker 2: High today, glorious day.
Speaker 1: Down I got rid of hair. Welsh has grown more
Speaker 1: and Welsh. We've got some movement with the d backs
Speaker 1: that people are a little surprised about. Let's just say
Speaker 1: little surprised. Hit the row.
Speaker 2: Jack, don'tate comeback. No no, no, no, no, no no no, Jack,
Speaker 2: don't you come back? Bumgarner. Bumgarner officially designated for assignment.
Speaker 2: It's a glorious day. There's so many great things about today.
Speaker 2: All his stupid antics gone. We're done. We have swooped
Speaker 2: up the hair in remembrance of everything that we have lost.
Speaker 2: These are all the runs this is how many runs
Speaker 2: have been scored up top. Though I will say there's
Speaker 2: one negative to this. The chat has not seen this yet.
Speaker 2: Tommy Henry is going to get the next start start.
Speaker 2: According to Nick Pacarro, it is not Brandon Fought, but
Speaker 2: I still do believe it will. He is being set
Speaker 2: up to get it. He will be after Tommy Henry,
Speaker 2: but not even Brandon Fought. Not starting is not going
Speaker 2: to take away the happiness of Madison Bumgarner. There's an
Speaker 2: incredible thread Joe on Reddit that Bogmin sent me. Won't
Speaker 2: go to the whole thing if anyone wants to see it.
Speaker 2: It essentially lines out how Madison Bumgarner in his tenure
Speaker 2: was no better than a position player as a pitcher
Speaker 2: and essentially turned hitters in his tenure into an all star.
Speaker 2: Let me see if I can see it real quick
Speaker 2: what the thing was, because the the amazing line at
Speaker 2: the end of this thread had a entire Diamondbacks line
Speaker 2: that he gave up a two sixty seven three point
Speaker 2: thirty four eighty two slash to all hitters. Think about
Speaker 2: backup catchers that are involved. All hitters combined for almost
Speaker 2: two seventy against Madison Bumgarner gone.
Speaker 1: He gone. And by the way, one thing is not
Speaker 1: gone is the money he's owed thirty seven million dollars
Speaker 1: still from the d Backs. What a horrible investment. And
Speaker 1: I can't believe this because I was all set to
Speaker 1: talk about Bumgarner to day anyway, because he made three
Speaker 1: down after his terrible performance yesterday, awful, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about I can't remember recent memory a pitcher
Speaker 1: who was so dominant, especially in the playoffs, and so
Speaker 1: good and then fell off so considerably. I almost feel
Speaker 1: like it had he just retired as a San Francisco
Speaker 1: Giant not gone to free agency, he would be in
Speaker 1: that conversation of man, remember Madison Bumgarner, Like winning the
Speaker 1: World Series basically on his own and pitching four of
Speaker 1: seven games and all that crazy stuff he did. He
Speaker 1: was kind of a whole famoush discussion. And now I
Speaker 1: don't think after this last you know, a couple of
Speaker 1: rounds here with the Diamondbacks, you could even think about
Speaker 1: that kind.
Speaker 2: No, No, I might be misremembering. Oh so that's an
Speaker 2: interesting one. John just put in the chat, Jake Arietta,
Speaker 2: that was kind of I might be misremembering.
Speaker 1: But Dick Arietta hold On, Jake Arietta had a two
Speaker 1: year window. Madison Buon Garner was a really good picture
Speaker 1: for a few years and won multiple World Series.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I know you're not wrong about that. What
Speaker 2: about didn't Tim Lincecum have a pretty hard fall off
Speaker 2: at the end. It wasn't to this level because he
Speaker 2: didn't like do what Bumgarner did, But wasn't it a
Speaker 2: pretty hard falloff?
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was. I mean Lensigham was also, I think
Speaker 1: everybody always expected it. Linsinggham was always the impending doom
Speaker 1: of while he's the smaller pitcher, he's eventually going to
Speaker 1: break down, he can't sustain, and eventually he couldn't sustain.
Speaker 1: But again, he was a window maybe three to four years.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's look Madison Bumgarner, Well, well, latch on somewhere.
Speaker 1: I would imagine I know people in the chats.
Speaker 2: At the eighth really well, I think they can bawl
Speaker 2: in an arena. That's what he's going to go back
Speaker 2: and do it. Any any team that were to which
Speaker 2: clearly no one's gonna like pick him up off of waivers,
Speaker 2: he will be a free agent. Any team that is
Speaker 2: going to put a flyer out him. Why, like, what, what's.
Speaker 1: The redeeming thing?
Speaker 2: Maybe he's a bad personality in the locker room. He's
Speaker 2: a bad he's bad on the field, he's bad at
Speaker 2: his the a's.
Speaker 1: Do you hope that he can help, you know, with
Speaker 1: some of the young pitchers. Maybe I don't know. I look,
Speaker 1: maybe nobody does. I don't know. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, bum Garner has been washed for a while,
Speaker 1: so it's surprising that it happened this soon in April.
Speaker 1: But I give the d back to credit. They're like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's a bad choice whatever, and Fought is going to
Speaker 1: be the guy. I mean, we all know that.
Speaker 2: So I actually think I think some of this has
Speaker 2: to do with like an alignment of how they're pitching.
Speaker 2: Fought hasn't also been like stellar Stellar. Tommy Henry is
Speaker 2: someone I think that they know that they can just
Speaker 2: throw in right now. I do think we're gonna go
Speaker 2: Fought into the following start. And this is just a
Speaker 2: Tommy and Read one off.
Speaker 1: But oh, by the way, when is the Joe versus
Speaker 1: Welsh video being posted? Did we send that to Chris?
Speaker 2: I posted everything. I gave it to everybody.
Speaker 1: I don't know, so you know what I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to go follow up.
Speaker 2: You know what I can do, maybe even for tomorrow,
Speaker 2: is maybe I could lower the thank you for all
Speaker 2: the hair com this is a pretty good electric hair day.
Speaker 1: We've swooped it to a jealous Hi. It is very
Speaker 1: grimly esque. Great now, I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 2: Absolutely no idea how high it was when we were
Speaker 2: doing it this morning, No idea until I got on
Speaker 2: camera and I was like, oh, this is intense. I
Speaker 2: will lower the down to like seven twenty, which should
Speaker 2: probably get it to be able to be posted here,
Speaker 2: and maybe we could post it on the feed tomorrow.
Speaker 2: That'll be a nice It's a little birthday present for me,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: There you go, birthday present for Welsh and a w
Speaker 1: for you. By the way, I see people trying to
Speaker 1: post stuff about Survivor because now they know I watch Survivor.
Speaker 1: I don't watch it live on Wednesdays. I watch it
Speaker 1: with the kids on Thursday, so a day behind, so
Speaker 1: no spoilers. I literally saw something. I went like a
Speaker 1: la la la la la la la, and I close
Speaker 1: my eyes so I don't please. I love you all.
Speaker 1: You can't talk about it with me until Fridays. I
Speaker 1: know that's terrible, but I'm all four talking about it
Speaker 1: with you, but just not till Friday. Let's get to
Speaker 1: the rest of the headlines, because that one just dropped,
Speaker 1: and that was a big one. Aaron Judge not only
Speaker 1: hit two home runs, but he also robbed my show,
Speaker 1: Hey Atani have a home run, And I was pissed.
Speaker 1: I was pissed off about this because I was letting
Speaker 1: show a ride. I thought I was gonna get another
Speaker 1: home run. Some Jeff Passon stuff today coming out too
Speaker 1: about already Otani trade rumbling. So get ready, folks, the
Speaker 1: Otani sweepstakes is going to be something like you've never
Speaker 1: seen before. It's gonna be unbelievable. Also unbelievable. The Rays
Speaker 1: the homer streak to nineteen, so they're one behind the
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen m's right now. Also, there's six shutout of
Speaker 1: the year. Incredible run here for the raise. Max Scherzer
Speaker 1: was the other big story yesterday. This was just stunning
Speaker 1: and entertaining. It looks like he is. There's no way
Speaker 1: he's gonna avoid this ten game suspension.
Speaker 2: So they actually said they already said zero. There is
Speaker 2: zero chance that he will avoid this.
Speaker 1: Isn't Sures are also one of the guys at the
Speaker 1: top for the players union, right, he was one of
Speaker 1: the guys in the negotiating table last spring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I talked about this on ITL yesterday. One thing
Speaker 2: I think is interesting he is a total politician. He
Speaker 2: did this interview like a week or so ago about
Speaker 2: how he was already setting up these new rules, how
Speaker 2: they're going to injure players in the summer. He's like,
Speaker 2: we really gonna be curious if player injuries rise up.
Speaker 2: Like he is a total politician in this whole process,
Speaker 2: and he was doing politician work after this. But at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, even though this ump, this
Speaker 2: ump also has been involved in all three of these incidents,
Speaker 2: which is really where the same ump it is, but
Speaker 2: it's his finger they were sticky for like innings and
Speaker 2: stuff that.
Speaker 1: Well, the thing is they asked him to change the glove,
Speaker 1: so he changes the glove and then it comes back.
Speaker 1: And apparently, as as Sures Or likes to tell the story,
Speaker 1: yesterday I got to see him tell his side of
Speaker 1: the story, which is there was an official watching him
Speaker 1: wash his hands and then reapply the rosin excuse me,
Speaker 1: and the other stuff to his hands. I had a
Speaker 1: little rosin in my throat there, but he was like
Speaker 1: applying it back to his hands with the sweat and everything.
Speaker 1: So he did whatever he did. He did in front
Speaker 1: of an MLB official and then went back out there
Speaker 1: and got poned for it. And I don't understand, Like
Speaker 1: how does that happen? And his reaction was hysterical. I
Speaker 1: mean it was very I do you know who I am?
Speaker 1: I'm acture as it was very im in a country club.
Speaker 2: G you know why?
Speaker 1: I believe him? I do believe him. He kept saying.
Speaker 1: You could read his lips. He was saying, I swear
Speaker 1: on my kids it's rosin. Like he was emphatic about it.
Speaker 1: You could tell when guys are like half passing it,
Speaker 1: you know. And you could tell when a guy is,
Speaker 1: i think legitimately saying what are you crazy? Like you
Speaker 1: could tell his reaction. They're just not that good of actors.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, They're just not.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, the only thing I kind of took
Speaker 2: away from that what I think this was like, because
Speaker 2: the anger and the frustration from it really was something
Speaker 2: that I think everyone you knew you were doing something wrong,
Speaker 2: but it was accepted. It was being accepted whatever the
Speaker 2: Because we saw this with Domingo Herman like a week
Speaker 2: or so ago, where they're like, hey, take it off.
Speaker 2: He didn't like, Okay, take it off, like nothing happened,
Speaker 2: there are no repercussions of it. That this felt to
Speaker 2: me like there's this unspoken whatever how much rosin and
Speaker 2: how much sweat was going on that they all agreed
Speaker 2: and that he's getting picked on. There wasn't. There was
Speaker 2: an extra level of anger and frustration out of this
Speaker 2: that to me, was built around something that was all
Speaker 2: kind of greed upon and everyone else was doing and
Speaker 2: he was getting picked on. That's how I took his
Speaker 2: reaction to it.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of good ones in the chat here too.
Speaker 1: Johan Santana fell off. Yes, that was another mood that
Speaker 1: fell off.
Speaker 2: That's a real one.
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't remember him falling off to
Speaker 1: embarrassing like Bumgunner fell off to embarrassing. Cliff Lee another
Speaker 1: one from Sabo's goggles, throws this one out there too.
Speaker 1: I mean, Bumgunner has been embarrassing for years plural now,
Speaker 1: and that's something you don't see like you see the
Speaker 1: guys that like Pedro Martinez was amazing at the end,
Speaker 1: he was not the same guy. He was out there
Speaker 1: just you know, kind of on guts and guyle trying
Speaker 1: to throw balls by people. And he could do it
Speaker 1: some nights and some nights he couldn't. Bumgarner's just like
Speaker 1: been batting practice last couple of years. Like, I think
Speaker 1: he is in.
Speaker 2: His own He's in his own world. Like that's like
Speaker 2: the thing. He is the epitome of we're talking from
Speaker 2: greatness down. This is the biggest fall of anybody that
Speaker 2: I can recall as far as like like this level
Speaker 2: of pitcher goes. But I think there's in between. That's
Speaker 2: what's fun to kind of look and find these in between.
Speaker 2: Johann Santana's probably up there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, boy, the chat is live today. People are Yeah,
Speaker 1: usually Thursdays are a little quiet.
Speaker 2: Well, I want to point out one thing. I want
Speaker 2: to see how long it goes. There is one piece
Speaker 2: of news that is bigger than all of this that
Speaker 2: I don't even see on the sheet. And I'm gonna
Speaker 2: just not I'm not gonna say it. I'm gonna see
Speaker 2: how long it goes. I will mention it at some point.
Speaker 2: But I think that's also why people are very excited.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I I don't know where I am
Speaker 1: at the chat, but let's continue on here. The Astros,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Pania Homer stole base and Luis Garcia struck out
Speaker 1: nine and a win over the Blue Jays. You on Aviedo,
Speaker 1: Maybe that's I see a lot of Aviedo chat. A
Speaker 1: lot of people very happy in Colorado for the Pirates.
Speaker 1: Who you know who have thought the Pirates would be interesting.
Speaker 1: Six K's six innings one earned Mason Miller striking out
Speaker 1: five his debut against the Cubs, but Justin Steele was better.
Speaker 1: Julia Rodriguez, by the way, getting hot. Another home run
Speaker 1: for him. I told you yesterday when we left the show,
Speaker 1: I said, keep an eye on he's hitting lasers all
Speaker 1: over the place. When you know him. He went yard
Speaker 1: yesterday and.
Speaker 2: The one thing you went, pat hold on, you went
Speaker 2: past me some MILLI real quick. I just want to
Speaker 2: point out fifteen hundred plus mile an hour pitches in
Speaker 2: that game could not go five, but it was getting swinging, missus.
Speaker 2: His fastball was hitting over one oh two an average
Speaker 2: one hundred miles per hour was pretty impressive.
Speaker 1: But you know what, for all the velocity, you know,
Speaker 1: those guys always cacare the crap out of me.
Speaker 2: Dude, ways, I am so with you. I am so
Speaker 2: with you on this because all I saw yesterday were
Speaker 2: people patting themselves on the back about their call about
Speaker 2: Mason Miller. My problem is it took him eighty one
Speaker 2: pitches to go four and one third. He had to walk,
Speaker 2: gave up a couple of runs. He's on the A's
Speaker 2: like he could be amazing. He's on the now Las Vegas,
Speaker 2: come to soon A's and none of that bows well
Speaker 2: for me. I like him, and you go make your
Speaker 2: move and you go get him and you feel good
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah. But people treating him like Toaj Bradley,
Speaker 2: I think is a little bit rough.
Speaker 1: No, because I agree with you, he's one guy to
Speaker 1: the other guy's a pitcher.
Speaker 2: There's a difference, I mean a slider and cutter.
Speaker 1: So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm like the ball.
Speaker 1: Through through a barn door. It's like the Kopek disease.
Speaker 1: You know, everyone gets so excited about the velocity, but
Speaker 1: I'm more excited about the katea walk ratio.
Speaker 2: He's got insanely high spin numbers. Like I'm not going
Speaker 2: to dismiss that at all. My point is, listen that
Speaker 2: he was likedlo He and I've been I've been saying
Speaker 2: to everybody like Lodolo. He takes a lot of pitches
Speaker 2: every single at that, and I think it's just gonna
Speaker 2: be tough to get wins and to even qualify for wins.
Speaker 2: But I say all this, and he'll go like, you know,
Speaker 2: six and no hit in his next start with the A's,
Speaker 2: and we'll be uh.
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi is five steals in seven games, Edward Julian
Speaker 1: three for four with a homer, Joe Ryan picks up
Speaker 1: his fourth w got another win there in the betting
Speaker 1: column yesterday, and I saw a lot of people join
Speaker 1: the group yesterday, So awesome betting pros dot com slash
Speaker 1: leading off join our little betting group, and so people
Speaker 1: start following me there too, So shout out to you.
Speaker 1: I see you, Kyle Bradish six innings against the Gnats,
Speaker 1: against against the Mats, but still six innings is good.
Speaker 1: And Nick Martinez strikes out six and a big win
Speaker 1: over the Braves. Lots of injuries, so let's fly through them.
Speaker 1: Welsh Miguel Rojas hamstring to the IL, Ramon Loreano left
Speaker 1: groin to the IL Brewers. Garrett Mitchell ten day with
Speaker 1: the shoulder sublixation, which is always a hard thing to say.
Speaker 1: I probably, but I never I gave it my good
Speaker 1: old college try. Corbyn Burns with the pectoral is going
Speaker 1: to make his next start, so that's good. I'm sure
Speaker 1: everyone's going to be holding their breath. But your Noverez
Speaker 1: also was back in the game yesterday, so that ankle
Speaker 1: thing was not a big deal. Jorge Matteo did leave
Speaker 1: Wednesday with a hip issue. Cal Quantrell was helped off
Speaker 1: the field with the liner off his leg in the
Speaker 1: sixth inning against the Tigers. Starting Marte left the game
Speaker 1: against so many things with next stiffness. And then Carls Carrasco.
Speaker 1: So here's the Carrasco update. We talked about it yesterday.
Speaker 1: I'm going to the IL small bone spur in the
Speaker 1: right elbow. He's gonna resume throwing in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I just read this morning that Verlander is going to
Speaker 1: also start to ramp up on a five day schedule,
Speaker 1: so he is going to be you know, imminent return
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks. But in these few weeks,
Speaker 1: especially if they don't have Shuerzer like sures Are, is
Speaker 1: gonna need to appeal just to bide some time for
Speaker 1: other people to get back healthy in this rotation, because
Speaker 1: it's a hot mess right now for the mat.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the if I don't know if
Speaker 2: the appeal will be long enough for him to get
Speaker 2: in like one more start, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Like it's it's he's got like four days until it.
Speaker 2: Usually those appeals happen within a day or two, and
Speaker 2: the word is he ain't gonna get any So it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a rough like week or ten days with
Speaker 2: pretty much nobody in their rotation. Hey, you know what
Speaker 2: they could do, Madison, Bumgartner's free. There you go, there's
Speaker 2: your team, Joe. You guys can have bum Garner and
Speaker 2: he can get a start in for it. Have fun.
Speaker 1: Great. I apologize, you're right. It is Fernando tatists day, Rodrigue.
Speaker 2: Than we did it. I was gonna say, Rodrigo knows
Speaker 2: we weren't gonna go too much longer because when we
Speaker 2: get into the bets and the prize picks. It is
Speaker 2: all about Fernando Tatis. But happy, happy, happy cheater day
Speaker 2: Fernando Tatis. And you're yes, he cheated, but he is
Speaker 2: an incredible player and he's back. So I'm excited as
Speaker 2: hell and I'm excited to see him. Probably gonna beat
Speaker 2: up my Diamondbacks tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, although he's been so red hot, just like
Speaker 1: remember when Trey Turner was so red hot in the
Speaker 1: WBC and he just hit his first homer in the
Speaker 1: season yesterday, So do you remember that, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Drey Turner was, oh my god. He's
Speaker 1: the goods player ever. He's done very little for you know,
Speaker 1: not very little, but relatively quiet for the first twenty
Speaker 1: days of the season. Here's a fun fact from yesterday.
Speaker 1: Three managers got ejected yesterday. So you got to love
Speaker 1: those all those day games where people can lose their
Speaker 1: mind too. So the A's, the Reds, and the Angels
Speaker 1: all three of them had managers get ejected yesterday, So
Speaker 1: that was a good one. Uh. Kurt Morris, our good
Speaker 1: friend Kurt is in the chat. Remember yesterday I told
Speaker 1: you about my buddy Kurt back into fantasy baseball using
Speaker 1: this stuff. Now he's not only using the Fantasy Pro tools,
Speaker 1: but he's here watching live. So look at that. Look
Speaker 1: at that.
Speaker 2: Not a fake story, not a fake story at all. Real,
Speaker 2: it's all real.
Speaker 1: Look at it. Really the handsome beard right there. But
Speaker 1: but Pryor was great for a short peer of time.
Speaker 1: Bumgarner was really good for I feel like a good
Speaker 1: what six years? Was it? Sure? I mean to go
Speaker 1: back and look at the Bumgarner.
Speaker 2: You know what the problem with Pryor is, Prior is
Speaker 2: the mold between like Mark Pell and Madison bum down where.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, let me finish, let me no, I know.
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is mark uh Mark.
Speaker 1: Mark Pell is a trigger word for me, by the way,
Speaker 1: my triggers because I never thought he was any good
Speaker 1: and everybody kept telling me he was, but everybody argued.
Speaker 2: My argument is potential. I'm saying Mark Pryor was this
Speaker 2: full build potential, ace could be everything. He had a
Speaker 2: couple seasons where it worked, and then it was injury
Speaker 2: after injury after injury. So he's not really I guess
Speaker 2: he's not even really like the Bumgarner situation at all.
Speaker 2: It's just he was unfilled potential. I feel like with prior.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's pitchclock violation things yesterday people get all
Speaker 1: kinds of sassy and mad about stuff. Let's continue all
Speaker 1: the three up and three down. Tommy Edmund had himself
Speaker 1: a day. Uh he's not one for a lot of
Speaker 1: extra base hits. But here's the funny part. He got
Speaker 1: the double, he got the triple in the homer. He
Speaker 1: couldn't get the single. Tommy Edmund couldn't get the single
Speaker 1: for the side would be would kill h know? Could
Speaker 1: you imagine, like that's that's your day. The double, the triple,
Speaker 1: the homer, but no single. H five rubies for him.
Speaker 1: Trey Turner h three for five with a double homer,
Speaker 1: his first of the year. It was also my prize
Speaker 1: pick yesterday, so I hope you were in that. Brandon Neimo,
Speaker 1: how about that day, five for five with a dinger
Speaker 1: his first of the year. So he's on the board now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's still in some bases now too.
Speaker 1: And so officially Trey Turner and Brandon Nimo have as
Speaker 1: many home runs as Welsh now because Corbyn Carroll not
Speaker 1: only did he hit two doubles, but he walked twice.
Speaker 2: I believe yesterday he was two for three, two doubles,
Speaker 2: two walks, and a stolen base. He did everything except
Speaker 2: get me my homer, but he did. He did cash
Speaker 2: by the way, in uh price picks, pat cash there.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I had him there, but I
Speaker 2: had him in another place as well. So he did
Speaker 2: everything but give me the homer, as I will never
Speaker 2: get the home run call until today.
Speaker 1: Oh, today's the day. Huh. All right, I didn't even
Speaker 1: look to see who you picked today, but I will
Speaker 1: say this when it comes to the prize picks too.
Speaker 1: The thing that I like is if you're in on
Speaker 1: a player, and we've been doing this lately, then you
Speaker 1: go all in on that player. So you're going for
Speaker 1: the fantasy score because that's an easy one to get,
Speaker 1: and then you go for the total basis like, you
Speaker 1: go all in on the one player, and then you
Speaker 1: find the third other thing that you like. It's a
Speaker 1: great approach to it. It's fun. You should go check
Speaker 1: out the price.
Speaker 2: I sacked mine yesterday. I smacked mine yesterday.
Speaker 1: He smacked it good, Yes, smack the hell out of it.
Speaker 1: There you go some downs from yesterday. Levi Stout made
Speaker 1: his major league debut and gave up seven earned runs
Speaker 1: and four innings nine hits. It was ugly. Brady Singer
Speaker 1: also ugly, five earned three walks, four k's is the
Speaker 1: ra is at ten. So you had one good start.
Speaker 1: Guys are hitting three forty eight against him. What do
Speaker 1: you do? A pritty Singer? Because this was a guy
Speaker 1: who was actually kind of in that, Hey, this is
Speaker 1: a good picture on a bad team. Draft him late.
Speaker 1: He has not been that guy for what the last
Speaker 1: three of the four starts, he.
Speaker 2: Said, and cut him. I mean, I think you can
Speaker 2: move on. There's there's no fat.
Speaker 1: You drop him for the fat? Sure?
Speaker 2: If you want to speculate, did you drop him for
Speaker 2: the mas Millers?
Speaker 1: That's my new team name, Trim the foot, dropping the fot,
Speaker 1: trim the pot.
Speaker 2: I did drop a weird awl reference yesterday.
Speaker 1: Uh you did? Did anyone pick it up or no?
Speaker 2: They A couple of people did pick up for Brandon Fott.
Speaker 2: It was a Madison Bumgarner and it was you know,
Speaker 2: I'm don't you call me? Don't you remember that? Don't
Speaker 2: you call me? But tell me once again, who's fat?
Speaker 1: I don't think it's weird? Kid weird like make music nowadays?
Speaker 1: Because you can't make fun of anything. I feel like,
Speaker 1: but I think who can?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think it's like turning a little bit,
Speaker 2: So I think like he could actually start.
Speaker 1: I agree. I think people are like, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's laugh again. That's why they love us.
Speaker 2: So we need okay, so you know we need weird Al.
Speaker 2: Weird Al is our savior.
Speaker 1: He's here to save That's right, he's here to save us. Uh.
Speaker 1: The other guy who made the three down, ironically was
Speaker 1: Madison Bumgarner. So he went so far down that he
Speaker 1: got d F eight. So look at that. All right.
Speaker 1: Let us talk about some prize picks, Welsh, because I
Speaker 1: know you've got some prize pigs before the picking. Everybody's
Speaker 1: got the prize pigs. And if you want to make
Speaker 1: prize picks, go to prize picks dot com or download
Speaker 1: the app. Is that promo code leading off to get
Speaker 1: one hundred percent to pause a match up to one
Speaker 1: hundred bucks. So Welsh, let's keep the streak alive. What
Speaker 1: you got for the people today?
Speaker 2: Yes, let's try to win another one. And going to
Speaker 2: be across the board. Someone in the chat I was
Speaker 2: trying to find the name to give them credit. Because
Speaker 2: they said they would bet one hundred dollars if Tatis
Speaker 2: is going to go oh for four today, I hope
Speaker 2: that's not right because I'm going to just go all
Speaker 2: in on that first one. It's against the Diebacks and
Speaker 2: it's against Ryan Nelson, and he has looked good Tatis Junior,
Speaker 2: so I am going to pick up his fantasy score.
Speaker 2: It's seven points. I like him to have a big
Speaker 2: fly today, so I'm going seven points on the fantasy
Speaker 2: score for the first time. I'm going to take an under,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to take Charlie Blackman's score under seven today.
Speaker 2: I think in a pitching matchup that doesn't, unders are fun.
Speaker 1: I did one with Javier Bayez the other day. It
Speaker 1: was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're gonna go black Men underscore. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: add in Juan Soto hits, runs and RBI over again
Speaker 2: Ryan Nelson. I think this is starting to come to
Speaker 2: a head a little bit and the Patterys are going
Speaker 2: to be on it tonight. And then as a fourth one.
Speaker 2: You can or cannot add this if you want. If
Speaker 2: you want to add the odds up Alec Boom one
Speaker 2: and a half hits runs an RBI as he has
Speaker 2: been stroking the ball. So give me those four Tatis
Speaker 2: score Blackmen score under Soto hits runs RBI and Bom
Speaker 2: hits run RBI for my price picks for today.
Speaker 1: I can't believe this. This is usually guy said, Thursday's
Speaker 1: kind of this lower day. We just hit our of
Speaker 1: live watchers. So look at that good stuff there.
Speaker 2: I love you, hey man, that's a bum Garner gets
Speaker 2: down and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everybody shows that they want to hear tatist.
Speaker 2: It's tatist. It's Bumgarner out. I mean, and we haven't
Speaker 2: even talked about it. But you know, the Oakland A's,
Speaker 2: which is very historical to my past, by the way,
Speaker 2: was what I spent my time with my grandpa that
Speaker 2: will be no longer in the near future is they
Speaker 2: will be going to become the Las Vegas A's in
Speaker 2: a matter.
Speaker 1: It is a trash ball park that doesn't have helmet Sundays.
Speaker 1: I think they had some sort of rat or possum
Speaker 1: living in Did you hear this?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it still does. I I hope you know what.
Speaker 1: I actually ast of possums or rats or something living
Speaker 1: in the broadcast booths.
Speaker 2: I think that should be the new Las Vegas mascot.
Speaker 2: They should move this possum and they should bring him
Speaker 2: back over. Hopefully they take care of him.
Speaker 1: I like that. Let's go to the posums, all right.
Speaker 1: My prize picks for today Brian Reynolds one and a
Speaker 1: half total bases and then I'm all in on Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 1: There we go against the Cubs tonight wins blowing out.
Speaker 1: Let's go one and a half total basis seven and
Speaker 1: a half on the over for the fantasy points there
Speaker 1: for mister Freddy Freedman. And again let's get to some
Speaker 1: betting stuff here, as we like to do. Don't forget.
Speaker 1: When you have the betting things here, make sure you
Speaker 1: go put them in over betting Pros. It's free. We
Speaker 1: want you to join our group bettingpros dot com slash
Speaker 1: leading off. And again you don't have to be putting
Speaker 1: real money in the picks. You could just go on
Speaker 1: there risk units and compare how you would do. You
Speaker 1: could do it just for fun as a game. As
Speaker 1: you're watching the games. It's a good time. And if
Speaker 1: you start to build confidence and you start to get
Speaker 1: what's going on here and you're watching the show and
Speaker 1: listening to the show, We're gonna help you win money
Speaker 1: doing that too. Baseball is very hard compared to NFL,
Speaker 1: NBA in a lot of ways because there's so much
Speaker 1: failure built in and somebody weird anomalies that happen, and
Speaker 1: so many injuries my goodness, on a daily basis. But
Speaker 1: still we've had a pretty good track record. It bears
Speaker 1: it out. Go to I got the leader board. We're
Speaker 1: making you money for me today. I'm gonna troll the Mets.
Speaker 1: There you go, Sean many A plus one twenty against
Speaker 1: the Giants. He's at home, and of the Giants have
Speaker 1: been meh, they're six and eleven. But I want to
Speaker 1: see Senga kind of show it to me a little bit.
Speaker 1: He wasn't great in that last start. I know he
Speaker 1: was on the bench for a long time because they
Speaker 1: scored seventeen million runs, But you know he's only pitched
Speaker 1: against the A's and that wasn't a great start, and
Speaker 1: then two against the Marlin. So I want to see
Speaker 1: what he does against the Giants here. But manaia, I
Speaker 1: think as a puncher's chance for the upset here. I
Speaker 1: was like Je Soto the over total bases that's over
Speaker 1: on DK along with Corbyn Carol plus one and a
Speaker 1: half and Bryce's stop plus one and a half on
Speaker 1: the over. On the total basis, you're getting plus one
Speaker 1: twenty on all these one Soda plus one thirty. Again,
Speaker 1: that's over at betting pros dot com. Welsh, what do
Speaker 1: you have for the folks because you're on the other
Speaker 1: side of the Senga.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I want to point out I do actually
Speaker 2: like that Soto in that Carol total base one. I
Speaker 2: might actually tail those as well. I just like Senga
Speaker 2: with the strike I like with the strikeouts. He has
Speaker 2: been a strikeout machine. The ghost fork gets it done
Speaker 2: right now teams have not quite caught up Giants or
Speaker 2: one of them.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Cousin Donnie might have had the better name
Speaker 1: for the for the U A's moving to Vegas.
Speaker 2: The Slutters, the lost. I mean I saw someone do
Speaker 2: like the run.
Speaker 1: There it is there, it is the Las Vegas Slutters.
Speaker 1: Look at that, I mean it does itself. Come on.
Speaker 2: I like go cards, the Royal Flushes with all of
Speaker 2: their poop related toilet incidents in Oakland. I think all
Speaker 2: of those work. The Slutters works as well, all right,
Speaker 2: so could I Sanga. I like the five and a
Speaker 2: half strikeouts. I'm actually putting two units on it because
Speaker 2: it's pretty juice up. The Giant strikeout a ton, so
Speaker 2: that's why I like that. I've got the this is
Speaker 2: a little two teamer parlay Phillies first five up by
Speaker 2: one run and Pittsburgh money line first five and you
Speaker 2: get plus one sixty one. So Phillies up by a
Speaker 2: run after the first five. Pittsburgh's just straight money line
Speaker 2: with the Contreras at plus one sixty one. I'm going
Speaker 2: McCutcheon one and a half total bases, which is plus
Speaker 2: one twenty. That's kind of following Joe's total base run
Speaker 2: and just for the haters, for an and of Tatis
Speaker 2: home run around two fifty two forty five play. It
Speaker 2: should be way higher. It is crazy crazy down right now,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go with the Tatis homer today.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I imagine whenever they move to Vegas, whatever they decide,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a cool looking uniform. Like I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be the A's anymore. I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna change the name in the whole thing.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be it'll be black and gold. I think
Speaker 2: it'll probably be representative of the rest of the Vegas teams.
Speaker 2: There'll be some gold, white, black involved in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be cool. All right, let's talk a little
Speaker 1: bit about some other ways to have some fun with baseball.
Speaker 1: So Rare is fun. It's a revolutionary free to play
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball game, officially licensed digital cards from thirty MLB teams.

Speaker 1: It's very cool. If you like cards, you like digital stuff,
Speaker 1: you like baseball. This is a perfect marriage of all
Speaker 1: those things again, so rare MLB. The next era is yours.
Speaker 1: Today's a weird slate for DFS. Yesterday was weird too,
Speaker 1: but we targeted what we liked and it worked. To me.
Speaker 1: It's Ronzie Contreras at seven point three, Matt Strom, who
Speaker 1: you've been on at nine k Shawm, and I as
Speaker 1: the appo play to Senga. So saying it's gonna be
Speaker 1: heavily invested in, I don't think that's wrong, but if
Speaker 1: you want to make money and be different, Manaia at
Speaker 1: eight point six is a great way to do that.
Speaker 1: I'm in on the Dodgers offense, the Padres offense obviously
Speaker 1: with tat teas back Arizona and Philly, and the value
Speaker 1: play today. He got stot at two point nine, leading
Speaker 1: off Trey Mancini at two point six, Gabe Moreno is
Speaker 1: still two point six, and Tommy fam if he's in
Speaker 1: the lineup today, which I imagine he will be with
Speaker 1: Marte having the next issue, he's two point seven. He's
Speaker 1: been being a hot vat as well, So that's a
Speaker 1: neat little one for you. All right, I'm going Freddie
Speaker 1: Freeman today for the home run call No. Surprise there.
Speaker 1: If you're looking at the board, it's the same as yesterday.
Speaker 1: Still behb Daddy at the top with nine, all the
Speaker 1: way to Riley over there with six. So I am
Speaker 1: stuck at three. Welsh is still stuck at one. But
Speaker 1: Welsh feels like today might be his day. I thought
Speaker 1: yesterday was the day. The two doubles was encouraging. He
Speaker 1: was hitting the ball, we were all there, fell a
Speaker 1: little short. So who's the guy today for you to
Speaker 1: break the curse?
Speaker 2: I'd be great on a I should take John Singleton
Speaker 2: if I could pick anybody in the miners, but if
Speaker 2: we were doing the doubles contest, it'd be great. I
Speaker 2: will go with Fernando Tatis Junior today. Why not? What
Speaker 2: do I have to lose? I can't pick them, but
Speaker 2: we are going to go in on it today. Fernando
Speaker 2: Tatis Junior with a homer in his first game. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna bet it and I'm gonna put it up on
Speaker 2: the board and maybe I can get a couple from Tatis.
Speaker 2: And I actually do like the thing that people were
Speaker 2: saying in here where it's like I think it was wonky.
Speaker 2: Tatis will have like two homers today, and go over
Speaker 2: twenty three. I could definitely see that happening. But he
Speaker 2: is going to be jacked up in this first start
Speaker 2: up against right Nelson.
Speaker 1: Uh So, Mayor is telling me that BHB Daddy has
Speaker 1: ten now now Mayor Ethan sends me a new home
Speaker 1: run board every day. When he doesn't send me one,
Speaker 1: I just assume that there's been no change. So apologies
Speaker 1: to BHB Daddy. But if we got a beef where
Speaker 1: I have to go take it up with our friend
Speaker 1: Ethan who makes up all the fun cards, and I
Speaker 1: send him something also today so he could be out
Speaker 1: of the office. I don't know what's going on. Hopefully
Speaker 1: he's okay and doing well. It is very exciting though,
Speaker 1: to get Fernando Tetis back. And this is what I
Speaker 1: kept saying everybody, it's a couple of weeks. You should
Speaker 1: be treating him the way you would treat him if
Speaker 1: he wasn't suspended, because at some point most guys go
Speaker 1: on the IL. All right, you got to that ten
Speaker 1: to fifteen days or whatever it is, somewhere in that stretch,
Speaker 1: you're gonna miss games. Now he's back, it's the twentieth
Speaker 1: of April, and if you got Tattists at any kind
Speaker 1: of significant discount, you gotta be loving life, right I am,
Speaker 1: because I've got him in our Fantasy pros league, and
Speaker 1: I bid on him, and I got him so much cheaper.
Speaker 1: I got him for at least I would say a
Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen dollars discount in that salary cap draft.
Speaker 2: I got him in TGPI too. The other thing I
Speaker 2: would point out is like, this is different than other
Speaker 2: situations with Tatis. He has been healthy. He played the
Speaker 2: entire spring training and he wasn't allowed to play. This
Speaker 2: wasn't like he was hurt and he's rehabbing and he's
Speaker 2: not in shape. And he has been playing this entire
Speaker 2: time with the minor league team. He was training with
Speaker 2: the guys, playing with the guys in spring training. He's
Speaker 2: been going this entire time. There hasn't been any time off.
Speaker 2: He was in before pitchers and catchers were reporting down
Speaker 2: at camp. He has been there with that team. He's
Speaker 2: been hitting and working this entire time. So it's just
Speaker 2: a little bit of a different situation. Will he go
Speaker 2: for four and the million strikeouts, It's possible, but this
Speaker 2: isn't like all those other spots. He has been playing,
Speaker 2: and he's been filling Homer's in triple A.
Speaker 1: It's being a killing Homer about this old school tattis
Speaker 1: two grand slams in the same inning like his daddy did. Now,
Speaker 1: Kurt and I were in college together when this happens,
Speaker 1: and we were playing fantasy baseball together back in college,
Speaker 1: and I remember when this went down and went crap.
Speaker 1: This is the craziest thing I've ever seen. Also, some
Speaker 1: good names in the chat I'm seeing too for some
Speaker 1: of the teams. Somebody brought up the Vegas Vices. It
Speaker 1: wasn't Razor with somebody else. I think it was Tim
Speaker 1: brought it up there. So that's an interesting one. But
Speaker 1: it's time to move on. And it's sad because the
Speaker 1: Oakland A's had a legacy in the seventies. They had
Speaker 1: an incredible run there in the mid to late eighties,
Speaker 1: you know, with the Bash brothers and you know Stuart and.
Speaker 2: This is literally my family, all.
Speaker 1: Right, and then they had the the Tim Hudson Barry
Speaker 1: Zito years with Mark Moulder and all that fun that
Speaker 1: you know, those teams produced. And it's sad because it
Speaker 1: is a good fan base and it is a really
Speaker 1: historically over the year is a good team, but it
Speaker 1: has been such a wretched building. It's in such a
Speaker 1: wretched place, and they've really been mismanaged horribly. I know
Speaker 1: they had that thing over We're gonna be good for
Speaker 1: a year or two and then we just blow it
Speaker 1: all up. But if you go back and look at
Speaker 1: the trades they made in the last ten years, everything
Speaker 1: from the Donaldson trade on because off the top of
Speaker 1: my head, was it Barretto they got that was like
Speaker 1: the piece in the Donaldson trade? Right, Uh, He's supposed
Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, Barretto was the main piece in that.
Speaker 2: Well, Barretto was an A. He was an A the
Speaker 2: whole It was an A.
Speaker 1: Because of Donaldson trade. I guarantee it. Go look it
Speaker 1: up right now.
Speaker 2: Right about that. It's just like was the lower miners
Speaker 2: with the a's, So that must.
Speaker 1: Have been Franklin Barretto that was supposed to be the guy,
Speaker 1: and then it was after that, it's been nothing but
Speaker 1: crap since they have not won any of these deals. And
Speaker 1: it's the same thing that hurt the Pirates. You know,
Speaker 1: when you deal to Garrett Coles and when you deal
Speaker 1: this player in that player and you don't get the
Speaker 1: right pieces back. You know, it crushes you. You can't
Speaker 1: whiff on those deals when you are a small market
Speaker 1: club in Major League Baseball, because you know they're not
Speaker 1: going to go out and they're not gonna spend money
Speaker 1: on free agents to make up for it. So there
Speaker 1: you go. Barry Zito, by the way, another guy who
Speaker 1: fell off towards the end. A lot of those guys
Speaker 1: in San Francisco, like the Giants, I would.
Speaker 2: Actually like to see the the Vegas. Just treat this
Speaker 2: like a like a minor league team, but go with
Speaker 2: like crazy jerseys and you know the crazy names of
Speaker 2: minor league teams, like the Toilets or whatever the hell
Speaker 2: they are. Yeah, that's so that's my vote. Y. It's
Speaker 2: Las Vegas toilet possums for the new OK I think
Speaker 2: will be the best way we could get it.
Speaker 1: Can't get better than toilet possums. There's nothing else to
Speaker 1: do with the show after that. We'll be back again tomorrow,
Speaker 1: same time, twelve third Eastern here on Fantasy Ros MLB.
Speaker 1: Make sure you subscribe. Welsh has his trade video out
Speaker 1: on the channel. Go peep that. Go check out my
Speaker 1: waiver wire pickups too. That video is out. Subscribe, click
Speaker 1: that little bell to it goes ding for notifications and
