Speaker 2: all the Peanuts and the cracker Jacks in the chat
Speaker 2: live on our YouTube channel. If you haven't already, make
Speaker 2: sure you go subscribe to Fantasy Bros MLB on the YouTube.
Speaker 1: We're up to twelve point seven Welsh.
Speaker 2: We're getting closer and closer every single day to me
Speaker 2: wearing a wing on the show.
Speaker 1: Fifteen k. That's what we got to get to, and we.
Speaker 3: Rise a good a good like hair helmet Washington, Yeah,
Speaker 3: like the old or I see.
Speaker 2: You want old school George Washington, the white wig with
Speaker 2: the roles sort.
Speaker 3: Of yeah, like like you're in court, like you know
Speaker 3: you're gonna be settling something like old time judge Washington. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what I want. That's what I'm voting for. But
Speaker 3: you know what, when we get there, we will go
Speaker 3: and we'll put a vote out there. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of options in their hair metal. I think hair metal
Speaker 3: would be a great then good eighties like yeah, look good, let's.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: I'll do a whole week of wiks, we get the
Speaker 2: fifteen k whole week of wigs.
Speaker 1: I will do one a day. I don't care. I'm good.
Speaker 3: Would you get hair implants? Would you just get if
Speaker 3: we got a too?
Speaker 2: That's that's that's called being a coward. You see this,
Speaker 2: This is bravery. This is what this bald head is.
Speaker 2: If people do the you know, the Jeremy Pivens of
Speaker 2: the world, they're cowards, that's what they are.
Speaker 1: That's right coming for you. Where is that guy, by
Speaker 1: the way, do you know what he's doing?
Speaker 2: Hairclub for men commercials? I just saw him a couple
Speaker 2: of weeks ago. That's what he's doing. But anyway, let's
Speaker 2: get to some baseball here at the top of the show.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Jared Kallinik another day. Another dong. That's right, uh,
Speaker 2: three point fifty one. He's up to three homers in
Speaker 2: his last forty one at bats. Three homeras in three days.
Speaker 2: I saw a breakdown of the swing. And you know
Speaker 2: it wasn't hard because I remember doing shows with you
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago talking about how he continues
Speaker 2: to drop his hands in this huge hitch and he
Speaker 2: shortened that up, and once you know it, short up
Speaker 2: the hitch, all of a sudden, you're quicker to the baseball.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, he's hid much better. The Cubs
Speaker 2: don't have a lot to offer in terms of tough pitching,
Speaker 2: so let's see how he handles the rest of the league.
Speaker 2: But so far, this has been a really encouraging thing.
Speaker 2: I know we talked a little about him yesterday, but
Speaker 2: I want to talk about it more today because yesterday's
Speaker 2: four hundred and eighty foot blast was noteworthy.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Actually, you know, funny, our sponsor of the home run giveaway,
Speaker 3: Dennis Sidler, over at Sidsgraf's text me and he said
Speaker 3: it was only the third time in history he lives
Speaker 3: in Chicago, that he'd ever seen a ball hit there.
Speaker 3: And it's definitely something to say. You know, right here,
Speaker 3: this is funny. Mayor posted this saying, be right back,
Speaker 3: gonna sell high on Kelnick. I obviously don't disagree with that,
Speaker 3: but I think Kelnick is in the dead zone of
Speaker 3: you can't trade him for what his output is currently doing. Like,
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's going to buy on Kelnick because
Speaker 3: there are just still too many worries that. I think
Speaker 3: you just got a hold and you got to hang
Speaker 3: out because guess what Baseball Savant page. It's nice and red.
Speaker 3: He's making good decisions. Everyone's hold used on Oh, fastballs
Speaker 3: he's hit. In fact, he's putting himself in a situation
Speaker 3: to get fastballs and he's smacking them. And that is
Speaker 3: what not all hitters hit breaking balls and off speed
Speaker 3: pitches incredibly, but you put yourself in situations and then
Speaker 3: you take advantage of that. And that's what he's doing.
Speaker 3: That's so different and I think a real big positive.
Speaker 3: But sure, if someone were buying like old school Jared Kelnick,
Speaker 3: you would sell. I just don't think anyone out there
Speaker 3: is doing it, so I would ride the wave.
Speaker 2: You're not selling him because you got him cheap. He's
Speaker 2: worth more to you because you got him cheap this year,
Speaker 2: so let the productivity flow. There's also, I think a
Speaker 2: market where people aren't gonna buy it until he does
Speaker 2: it for at least half a season. Yeah, what does
Speaker 2: the cell high look like? I mean, you got him cheap,
Speaker 2: you keep him. You don't want to sell in dynasty
Speaker 2: leagues this year because you got him cheap or you know,
Speaker 2: you have him cheap. If they have any costs attachchu
Speaker 2: that's high. I could sayd trying to flip him, but
Speaker 2: nobod's gonna buy it that cost. So look, you're stuck
Speaker 2: with him. But that's not a good thing. He's worth
Speaker 2: more to you who drafted him, than he is necessarily
Speaker 2: somebody else right now in.
Speaker 1: The open market.
Speaker 2: That's just the end of the conversation there, Taz Bradley,
Speaker 2: good conversation with him.
Speaker 1: Struck out eight What.
Speaker 2: Do you know, another day, another win for the Tampa
Speaker 2: Bay Rays, the most dominant even baseball right now, at
Speaker 2: least in April.
Speaker 1: Three runs over five innings. The eight k's that talked about.
Speaker 2: Now, he didn't get sent down about an hour ago,
Speaker 2: So good job, kid, Now go back down at TRIPAA.
Speaker 2: But he looked great. If you picked him up, I
Speaker 2: would hold him. I don't know if he's gonna make
Speaker 2: a second start. I think he's going to be back
Speaker 2: regardless at some point around in twenty twenty three redraft leagues.
Speaker 2: But this was a very good first performance. I love
Speaker 2: the mechanics of Bradley. They're very easy. He's got some
Speaker 2: late life on the ball. To me, this is a
Speaker 2: picture that you should be excited about in any key or.
Speaker 3: Formatall by the way, that curveball was absolutely dominant. I
Speaker 3: love TODJ. Bradley when you know he has he's a
Speaker 3: George Kirby vibe to me in that there's good stuff
Speaker 3: with great command and he can just pump the zone.
Speaker 3: And that's what he ended up doing. Because he was
Speaker 3: able to hit his spots for the most part, that
Speaker 3: fastball was a lot more effective. He ended up having
Speaker 3: a thirty almost thirty two percent with rate on the fastball,
Speaker 3: which isn't like crazy and common a young pitcher. But
Speaker 3: part of the reason is because that cutter curveball combination
Speaker 3: was just keeping everybody on their toes and the book
Speaker 3: isn't quite out on him. I think that curveball is
Speaker 3: going to be the big difference maker on him. And listen,
Speaker 3: I didn't think the Rays would make the move, but
Speaker 3: they already showed us like he is one of those
Speaker 3: guys are comfortable next in line. I thought he answered
Speaker 3: all the questions and if you can hold hold, but
Speaker 3: they didn't make us wait at all. They were just like.
Speaker 1: Say ye bye bye.
Speaker 3: So you don't have everyone's talk about, Hey, what's the
Speaker 3: fab that I have to do on him. I think
Speaker 3: it's actually a great thing because if you guys are
Speaker 3: in weekly fab leagues, everyone was talking what do I spend?
Speaker 3: What do I spend? Now that he's gone, that number
Speaker 3: comes down. I told you I want before I saw
Speaker 3: him pitch. I wanted under ten percent after that game,
Speaker 3: had he not been sent down. He's going way over
Speaker 3: ten percent.
Speaker 1: Oh me too.
Speaker 3: He's back down to life because everyone's like, Okay, well
Speaker 3: he's not here, he's not hanging. We don't know what's
Speaker 3: going to happen. We don't even know if this next
Speaker 3: start with e Flyn gone, are they going to bring
Speaker 3: him back up? Are they going to give it to Fleming?
Speaker 3: Either way, you can get him a lot cheaper if
Speaker 3: you have the ability to stash. He is a great
Speaker 3: stash right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would throw If you're in a deeper league,
Speaker 2: I throw a little bit more on there, just to
Speaker 2: be safe, just to get him, because I do think
Speaker 2: he's going to return.
Speaker 1: He can't pitch that well and not be back at
Speaker 1: some point. There's gonna be injuries.
Speaker 2: Uh, I mean one hundred dollars budget, I would go
Speaker 2: fifteen to seventeen bucks on him.
Speaker 3: I think he's you're more now, you're after you're fifteen.
Speaker 2: I'm actually said I'm more because I I because he
Speaker 2: was good. Because like when you when you come up
Speaker 2: and you look that good and you look that polished,
Speaker 2: to me, that's very eye opening. And the Rays, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, we have to worry about glassnow always being healthy,
Speaker 2: and we have to worry about everybody else.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a long season. It's only April.
Speaker 2: You come up and you pitch like that, I think
Speaker 2: you're gonna And also pitching, I think, you know, there's
Speaker 2: very few guys out there that can make a pitching impact.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna think in my head, he makes a dozen
Speaker 2: starts for this team this year.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, But like.
Speaker 3: He was already on a pitch count in that game.
Speaker 3: They're gonna open up the death Uh. They actually interesting
Speaker 3: They had Jalen Beaks do the follow and that's something
Speaker 3: like we've talked about that I would mind. I just
Speaker 3: think like he's held back a tiny bit by what
Speaker 3: the Rays will actually allow him to do. It's cool
Speaker 3: that they put him out there, but Kenny actually go
Speaker 3: deep into games. How many innings is the cap? And
Speaker 3: how they like to play openers. Would he be an
Speaker 3: opener and goes three or would he follow an opener
Speaker 3: like a Jalen Peak. So, I don't know. I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna be as aggressive as Joe. I'm going to stick
Speaker 3: back to my ten percent now. Maybe even get tried
Speaker 3: to get a little bit cheaper. But he was pretty freakin' awesome.
Speaker 2: He was some great stuff in the check going on,
Speaker 2: We'll get to the rest of the headlines of the
Speaker 2: second Jay full talking about Pete Alonzo his sixth homer.
Speaker 2: Pee Alonzo still drags everybody an MVP. I would still
Speaker 2: put a wager on him. I have similar He's at
Speaker 2: least ten to one, if not greater, and some other
Speaker 2: stop another question here from Mark Stash Brett Batty.
Speaker 1: Look, Escobar, is you know Escobar?
Speaker 2: He is better being a guy that you can use
Speaker 2: a couple times a week to being an everyday player
Speaker 2: at this point in his career. In my opinion, Baty's
Speaker 2: staring the cover off the ball. Yeah, I would absolutely
Speaker 2: be stashing Brett Baty while she agree.
Speaker 3: Agreed, absolutely agree.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: By baby is coming soon, very very soon.
Speaker 2: Too again and they and they could use again they
Speaker 2: need a left handed bats there. They need to, They
Speaker 2: need to, you know, continue to diversify this line up
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 1: If you're in the mats.
Speaker 2: It was a fun game yesterday too, Blake Snell another
Speaker 2: fun star for him, another five walks or whatever the
Speaker 2: hell was enough enough Blake Snell already?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, whatever I ever said about Blake Snell earlier,
Speaker 3: just for forget all that type of stuff. Here's what
Speaker 3: you have to do with Blake Snell. This is my ruin.
Speaker 3: Come back in late May. Come back after he's gotten
Speaker 3: all this out of the system. He didn't throw the
Speaker 3: change up yesterday, which is what you want. But he's
Speaker 3: so wild and ineffective. Here was a big, big problem
Speaker 3: as well. It's like seventy I think, in the seventy
Speaker 3: percentile of fastball. Again, you can't do that. You got
Speaker 3: to get that out of there. Just come back in
Speaker 3: about a month and then you can, you know, go
Speaker 3: trade for him or do whatever you got to do.
Speaker 3: But he ain't it right now.
Speaker 1: He ain't it, Corbyn. Carrol's it two for four with
Speaker 1: a two run bomb.
Speaker 2: Remember we told you all off season how he's got
Speaker 2: a lot more power than you realize. There you go
Speaker 2: another home run for Corbyn Carroll, So that's good. Speaking
Speaker 2: of Diamondbacks, Drake Jamison shutout innings. We knew he was
Speaker 2: going to be limited, but he was good in those
Speaker 2: four innings. We'll see what the Diamondbacks continue to do.
Speaker 2: But he's a he's a valuable piece. I talked about
Speaker 2: him in the Waiver Wire video that just came out
Speaker 2: about an hour ago. It's over here on the channel
Speaker 2: and Fantasy Pros MLB YouTube. I just think he's a
Speaker 2: valuable arm to own right now, and I think you
Speaker 2: want to roster him. I think the dual eligibility, you know,
Speaker 2: it could be very helpful too if he continues to
Speaker 2: do that. And once again, it's a long season. So
Speaker 2: it was this the last start Dre Jamison makes.
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Well, what do you think about him this year? The
Speaker 2: versatility but also the ability of Jamison?
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think this is a this is a
Speaker 3: big positive. Everyone's a little bit alarmed. They're like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, what why is he only going fifty six?
Speaker 3: Because they're trying to get him fully stretched out. What
Speaker 3: I was looking for and I've been focused on, is
Speaker 3: how are they going to have that slider usage? It
Speaker 3: was a little bit less than I wanted, but I'm
Speaker 3: not sitting off the top of my head right now.
Speaker 3: I want to say it was in the thirty percentile
Speaker 3: range twenty six to thirty percent. It had an over
Speaker 3: seventy percent with rate on the slider. Again, so he
Speaker 3: is able to set up he's commanding. He did leave
Speaker 3: one right over the plate, which is going to be
Speaker 3: a little bit of a problem with that, but he
Speaker 3: is setting up everything else, the sinker and the fastball,
Speaker 3: all around this slider because it is his most effective pitch,
Speaker 3: and as long as that keeps going, he's.
Speaker 1: Going to be great.
Speaker 3: Give up three hits, went four now earned runs. This
Speaker 3: is great with a killer, killer defense behind him. It's
Speaker 3: a recipe for like a good young pitcher to succeed.
Speaker 3: He's not like the home run guy that maybe like
Speaker 3: Brandon fott Is or anything like that, giving up a
Speaker 3: whole bunch of bombs. But as long as that slider
Speaker 3: keeps effective, he's got the pitches to go. I think
Speaker 3: he's been a must pick up for weeks when it
Speaker 3: was him getting saves. Now him being in the rotation,
Speaker 3: I have a very hard time believing that he ever
Speaker 3: comes out of this rotation. The only thing will be
Speaker 3: the silly, silly gooses of the Diamondbacks being like, well,
Speaker 3: we don't want to push his innings and we want
Speaker 3: to push him back into the bullpen. That would be silly.
Speaker 3: The Kyle Davies should go to the bullpen when he
Speaker 3: comes back, and Dre Jamison's stay in this rotation.
Speaker 2: You had a good question here for Durham, which I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure Brooks Durham has won at least three Country
Speaker 2: Music Awards, right, I mean, doesn't that sound like and now,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, Brooks Durham. I mean just saying Brooks.
Speaker 2: Should I pick up Baty? Is he a better stash
Speaker 2: than Julian who's up now?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: To me, Batty is the better guy right now because
Speaker 2: I think when he comes up he is an everyday player. Julian,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if we're there yet, so that would
Speaker 2: be my inclination. Welsh, and I do love Julian quite
Speaker 2: a bit. What's your take on this one? Real quickly
Speaker 2: we'll get to the rest of headline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're pretty close with that. The unfortunate is Kyle
Speaker 3: Farmer jaw Thing might leave one little.
Speaker 2: Buckston running into other people things. I mean these Minnesota twins.
Speaker 3: Boy, Yeah, I like Julian, but I think Batty is
Speaker 3: has the potential to be a little bit more impactful
Speaker 3: because even with like a new injury, they've got two
Speaker 3: guys like a Planco and kierlaf rehabbing right now, and
Speaker 3: that probably pushes Julian off a little bit sus defense
Speaker 3: as well, where Plank is going to take the sense of.
Speaker 1: The word sus.
Speaker 2: Tim Sawyer's got another one here, Franchie Gordero, potential league
Speaker 2: winner or advertising. I've got two words for you, Ermin Mercedes,
Speaker 2: Ermin Mercedes. That's my two words for you, Franchie Cordero.
Speaker 1: People. Yeah, yeah, Well, I'm like Rocket.
Speaker 3: While it's good, sell it if you can play him
Speaker 3: against Rity's, that's about all that you do. It's not
Speaker 3: gonna last.
Speaker 1: It's sounded like a jay Z song. That was really
Speaker 1: good Rocket. While you can sell it if you must,
Speaker 1: but that was really good.
Speaker 3: Was want you know, I actually know it's funny that
Speaker 3: you say that I got another believer or anything. I
Speaker 3: found out about this freestyle rapper Harry Mack because he
Speaker 3: did this video. If you've seen it, it's a viral
Speaker 3: video on T and T and he'd like a five
Speaker 3: minute rap, and I got. I went down a rabbit
Speaker 3: hole last night of watching everything this. I've never heard
Speaker 3: of him in my life until last night. And I
Speaker 3: watched almost everything all the way until I fell asleep
Speaker 3: last night. So maybe it's in my brain.
Speaker 2: That's what wash was doing. See just dropping bars. Jordan
Speaker 2: Walker's dropping bars. He is up to a twelve game
Speaker 2: hit streak to open up the season. By the way,
Speaker 2: the longest historyk to open a career by any player
Speaker 2: uh is actually seventeen games and accomplished by two people,
Speaker 2: Chuck Allino in nineteen forty one, Oh Boy, Chuck Aleno,
Speaker 2: and David doll of all people in twenty sixteen. So
Speaker 2: how about them apples.
Speaker 3: David is one of my favorite names all time. That
Speaker 3: that sounds like a colic name to something a little Joe.
Speaker 2: I want you to go go tel VIDI, go get
Speaker 2: Chuck Allino and go get Louis Boombots.
Speaker 1: You bring it to the star.
Speaker 3: Looked at a little bit of moon pie, some nut
Speaker 3: butters switches on.
Speaker 1: The way back right, go pick up some sandwiches. Peter A.
Speaker 1: Lonzo six home run again, talk about him m VP.
Speaker 2: It's the narrative for him is easier than some of
Speaker 2: the other guys because he doesn't have another star of
Speaker 2: his quality on the team, whereas the Braves of a
Speaker 2: lot of guys who you know, star power, star star power.
Speaker 2: Lindor Is is a star, but he doesn't have that
Speaker 2: same kind of cachet that a Nicunya or like if
Speaker 2: you look at the Dodgers with Mookie, Betts and Freeman
Speaker 2: or Sodo and Machado, he doesn't have that other, you know,
Speaker 2: Batman Robin kind of thing. Cubs agreed to terms with
Speaker 2: Ian Happ on a three year, sixty one million dollar
Speaker 2: contract extension. I was a little surprised he got no
Speaker 2: trade in that, but and of course Mike Mayer wanted
Speaker 2: us to plug Bobby wit the three steals and the
Speaker 2: win over the Rangers, which is good. He's still hitting
Speaker 2: two to twenty nine, which is bad. I'm not concerned
Speaker 2: with Bobby Witt. He had a slow start last year too.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just a slow stargar Welsh.
Speaker 3: He was on my last week or whatever it was.
Speaker 3: By total by bat was one of the lowest in
Speaker 3: the league. I think it was one twenty coming into
Speaker 3: this this most recent week, and he's still giving you
Speaker 3: counting stats and he's making up for any of the
Speaker 3: stuff that's like a deficiency on the batting average. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm all about Bobby Witt. Anyone that's a little
Speaker 3: bit worried or wanting to sell, I would be the buyer.
Speaker 1: All right, let's continue on with the injuries. Wah wah.
Speaker 2: While the Rangers put Corey Segar the ten day, I
Speaker 2: l someone on Twitter blamed me for it, So there
Speaker 2: you do, because I said the whole thing about you
Speaker 2: see what happens when you think a position is going
Speaker 2: to be good and then you'd get into the season.
Speaker 2: In two weeks it's not anymore, and you know, and
Speaker 2: there you go, it's my fault. I'm the problem.
Speaker 1: It's me.
Speaker 2: Uh. Then you have the grade two strain, which means
Speaker 2: it's gonna be at least a month long absence, so
Speaker 2: he's gonna be out.
Speaker 3: And see that it was a grade two. Yeah I
Speaker 3: am ye, I'm so sick of it. This was my worry,
Speaker 3: like everyone's so look how deep it is. You can
Speaker 3: just wait, you can just sit back and you can
Speaker 3: wait and get no, you can't.
Speaker 1: Now you couldn't just take Wonder Franco. That was my
Speaker 1: answer to the entire of my Cory Secret teams.
Speaker 3: I have Wander Froanco problem.
Speaker 1: Is like one Gory Seger team.
Speaker 3: I Wonder, but now I like a little bit less depth.
Speaker 3: I mean, good thing I got Franco, but like it's
Speaker 3: a little bit less wrap.
Speaker 2: Michael Gonfordo, we're removed from yesterday's game with the Dodgers
Speaker 2: that left calf tightness. Keep an eye on that. The
Speaker 2: calfs can be tricky. Orlando Arcia, you got hit on
Speaker 2: the hand. Good news the left wrist, no breaks. The
Speaker 2: X ray was negative there, So Mike yuesses he'll probably, you.
Speaker 1: Know, maybe I'll take the weekend off.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: He's another guy that was in my video too, because
Speaker 2: you need some middle infield guys right now with the
Speaker 2: way the shortstops the hint ten or some out.
Speaker 1: Cory, youre out. You need some guys here. And Or
Speaker 1: has been hitting.
Speaker 2: So hopefully this is more of a you know, it's bruise.
Speaker 2: You take a day or two off and hopefully he's
Speaker 2: back by Saturday or Sunday, maybe tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Who knows.
Speaker 2: A Byron Buxton, head leg, Pride, lots of things injured
Speaker 2: yesterday when he just.
Speaker 1: It's so bizarre. Did you see this when it happened.
Speaker 1: I saw what it happened.
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh my god, why did Byron Buckston
Speaker 2: just fling himself into.
Speaker 3: Mike Mayor was probably salivating, firing up, tweet checking his drafts,
Speaker 3: just waiting to just hit me up, just waiting to go.
Speaker 1: It was a live look in Mike Mayer watching the
Speaker 1: Byron Buckston videos. There there's a live shot feed me.
Speaker 3: Bucksed an injury. He was so excited, but he was
Speaker 3: able to, uh, he was able to get on a
Speaker 3: gelf in his own accord, and he's gonna be reevaluated,
Speaker 3: so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: But I think it was such a weird thing to happen.
Speaker 1: It just made no sense.
Speaker 2: I don't even It was like he came out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: it seemed, and the infielder's coming in for the ball,
Speaker 2: and then somehow they got tangled up, and I just
Speaker 2: don't even again, only Byron Bucks and this was an
Speaker 2: only Byron Bucks in moment for sure.
Speaker 1: More bad news. JT.
Speaker 2: Brubaker season ending, Tommy John He's out for the year.
Speaker 2: The Tigers put right handed pitcher Matt Manning on the
Speaker 2: fifteen day IL with a fracture right foot Hunter Kirk
Speaker 2: I believe it was hit a ball straight at h
Speaker 2: and went off his foot. The Rockies put Marquez on
Speaker 2: the fifteen day IL with the four arm inflammation. That's
Speaker 2: never a good thing. We know what that typically means.
Speaker 2: And Yashidah is going to be out again. He's dealing
Speaker 2: with that hamstring issue, so he will not face Jeffrey
Speaker 2: Springs in today's game.
Speaker 1: Here's a fun note too.
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper said he's going to prepare to try to
Speaker 2: play first base a little this season with Hoskins being out.
Speaker 2: This is fascinating from a fantasy perspective. If you can
Speaker 2: pull it off, He's a terrific player, terrific athlete. If
Speaker 2: he can, and you're in those leagues where you get
Speaker 2: like five or ten eligibility and he can somehow muster
Speaker 2: that up o, Bryce Harper's value really go through the roof.
Speaker 3: You know what, I think is actually really cool too.
Speaker 3: I have major questions that he was ever going to
Speaker 3: play in the outfield this year, which would affect now
Speaker 3: next year, and he'd be a util only guy again,
Speaker 3: which is not the worst thing in the world, but
Speaker 3: it would kind of stink. How great is this going
Speaker 3: to be that he if he were to play enough games?
Speaker 3: I think I think it's possible. Why not. I mean,
Speaker 3: Darren ruff is out for two months, which does kind
Speaker 3: of like a line that maybe he wouldn't be able
Speaker 3: to get all those but I think they would try
Speaker 3: to put him in there regularly. I think if he's
Speaker 3: going to play the second half of the year, he
Speaker 3: can get twenty games there and you can get eligibility
Speaker 3: and now you've got eligibility next year, which is great,
Speaker 3: so it's not just util So I'm all about this,
Speaker 3: also all about it not being twenty games eligible by
Speaker 3: the way, but you know, either way, I'm for it.
Speaker 1: What eligibility number do you like? Five?
Speaker 3: Ten? Ten?
Speaker 1: I don't like this one. One is stupid.
Speaker 3: No, Yahoo's like you step on the base, you know,
Speaker 3: or you move over, you move to the left, and
Speaker 3: now you qualify there. Remember when Anthony Wiso got second
Speaker 3: base qualification, he like shifted. That's so stupid. Like ten
Speaker 3: games started, I think that is a good.
Speaker 1: I think I like ten also. Ten is good.
Speaker 2: Ten is reasonable we're reasonable people here in the show.
Speaker 2: It's not twenty is twenty is too much at this point?
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to three up and three down
Speaker 2: from yesterday. Max Munsey continues to rub my face in
Speaker 2: the poop. Yeah, I'm sorry. I guess Max Munsey is
Speaker 2: not washed, or at least just not against the Giants.
Speaker 2: It seems to be the one team that he continues
Speaker 2: to just crush.
Speaker 1: So two more home runs for Max Munsey.
Speaker 3: So Max, San Francisco, Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Know they love him there.
Speaker 2: Hunter Green ten strikeouts in that same game against our
Speaker 2: boy Spencer Strider, who was on the on the shelf
Speaker 2: for Today show by the way, with his glorious mustache.
Speaker 2: So Hunter Green, no decision, but ten case. Kevin Gossman
Speaker 2: looked great. His velocity was up eleven case for him.
Speaker 2: The Blue Jays, somebody described them the other day to
Speaker 2: me as they're the travel slash, AAU team that has
Speaker 2: no idea what fiel they're playing on there. They just
Speaker 2: show up to the game and they're.
Speaker 1: Like, hey, what's up, guy, Yeah, let's go play baseball.
Speaker 2: And they do have that vibe about them which I
Speaker 2: think makes them very dangerous.
Speaker 3: They're they're front. I mean, I canna say I had
Speaker 3: the biggest backdoor cover yesterday. I had an amazing betting day.
Speaker 3: One of the ones I put on here was a
Speaker 3: money line. I think I did a money line parlay
Speaker 3: of the Blue Jays and the Dodgers, and I gave
Speaker 3: up because I'm like, what am I gonna do about
Speaker 3: the Bluejays? Like, I stoped betting them because they were
Speaker 3: down like three nothing to the Tigers are three to one,
Speaker 3: and I look back, next thing I know it, they
Speaker 3: won in ten and they won the game, and then
Speaker 3: the Dodgers ended up coming back to and I hit that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know if the Blue Jays know
Speaker 3: what's going on at all points. There's just one moment
Speaker 3: where they're like, oh hit ball, boom and it starts going.
Speaker 3: They're a weird team right now.
Speaker 1: They're a weird, fun team. They're chaos. I like them.
Speaker 1: It's a good time and they're good television. The Blue
Speaker 1: Jays are good.
Speaker 2: They had that amazing game on Sunday too that I
Speaker 2: ended up sitting down and they were behind eight runs
Speaker 2: or whatever it was, and then they came back in
Speaker 2: that one against the Angels, and I was like, I
Speaker 2: just keep watching this game because it's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: Well, Matt Chapman, Matt Chapman is one of the most
Speaker 3: incredible baths so far this year.
Speaker 2: Leads barely for a contract too, Isn't that Isn't that shocking?
Speaker 2: You know somehow he's you know, really centered himself. Done
Speaker 2: some more work on what was wrong with his swing?
Speaker 2: Right with the contracts coming up? I mean, who would
Speaker 2: have thought some three downs from yesterday, here we go
Speaker 2: Sale no shares, zero shares, eleven twenty five era right
Speaker 2: now five yesterday, four innings, seven hits. Not good for
Speaker 2: Chris Sale, c J. Crohn zero for four with the
Speaker 2: the hat trick, the three k's and Nadi Evaldi, who
Speaker 2: I liked going into yesterday again not good seven k's
Speaker 2: for him, no walks, but six earned five innings. I
Speaker 2: would still I would buy on the Evaldi. Still, I
Speaker 2: know the ras at six to three, I would still
Speaker 2: buy on him. Let's get to some prize picking.
Speaker 3: Five well, probably like a pick up?
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I like, Well, if they Evaldi's probably wasted
Speaker 2: in eight ninety percent league.
Speaker 3: Don't you think you're gonna trade for Evaldi?
Speaker 1: I can get him for nothing? Yeah, I want him
Speaker 1: as like a throw in in a deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, I'm good with I never have.
Speaker 2: Enough pitching Welsh. You can never you know. Also, you
Speaker 2: can never have enough of Prize Picks.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent of pause match up to one hundred
Speaker 2: dollars when you use the promo code leading off. So
Speaker 2: download the app right now, Prize Picks, or just go
Speaker 2: to prize picks dot com and use that promo code
Speaker 2: leading off and make your picks.
Speaker 1: Welsh, will you pick him today?
Speaker 3: All right? On a price pick. They're definitely making it
Speaker 3: a little bit difficult today to find the really really
Speaker 3: good ones. The slate also made it difficult. So three
Speaker 3: pieces that I've got for you today. Like I said,
Speaker 3: I will start going to five, but we need to
Speaker 3: start hitting some threes. First up, one of my favorite
Speaker 3: plays and a kind of trend that's going to go
Speaker 3: on here, Juan Soto for the day. I'm going hits
Speaker 3: run RBI one and a half over. Why that's so fun.
Speaker 3: If you hit an RBI single, you're done. You hit
Speaker 3: a homer, you're done. And you don't even need two
Speaker 3: hits to get this one going. You could he could
Speaker 3: walk three times after a hit and then he could
Speaker 3: score a run and you're done. So one and a
Speaker 3: half over hits run RBI. I'm going with Corey Kluber
Speaker 3: era allowed earned runs over two and a half. So
Speaker 3: over two and a half against the Rays. Give me
Speaker 3: that for Corey Klueber and man, I keep going to
Speaker 3: this well and it's got to pay off for me
Speaker 3: because he's the guy that's killing me, and he killed
Speaker 3: me yesterday. Aaron Judge total bases one and a half
Speaker 3: over give me a damn double Aaron Judge. So that
Speaker 3: is my play for Price picks Soto hit run RBI,
Speaker 3: Cluber over earned runs three or two and a half
Speaker 3: Judge total bases twenty Paysia one hundred.
Speaker 2: By the way, made some money yesterday on Jeff McNeil
Speaker 2: total bases just saying just saying that was not Jeff mcgil.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I thought of you. He did it. I
Speaker 1: met quick.
Speaker 2: Brandon Nemo got it in two at bats. He was like,
Speaker 2: I'm done good, I got it. It's over and done with.
Speaker 2: He was great all the Brandon Nemo yesterday. Uh to me,
Speaker 2: prizpects you'll see a theme with mine today. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go with Joe Ryan sixteen and a half pitching outs.
Speaker 2: I am trolling the Yankees today. The Twins pitching has
Speaker 2: been very good. By the way, here's a fun fact.
Speaker 2: You like fun fact squash, I know you like fun.
Speaker 3: Let's have fun.
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Twins pitching staff is the only staff in
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball that has been completely in one traded
Speaker 2: for every asset. None of them have been drafted, none
Speaker 2: of them were free agents. They've all been trades for
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Twins. Lopez Ryan was in the Nelson Cruz deal,
Speaker 2: Kent Tomiida Sonny Gray was a trade forgetting who the
Speaker 2: fifth one is just my mind here, but that is
Speaker 2: an incredibly weird thing. Joe Ryan's been really good this year.
Speaker 2: I'm also going with the under on the two and
Speaker 2: a half earned runs, and then I'm going Jeffrey Springs
Speaker 2: pitcher strikeouts over six. So let's continue to do that.
Speaker 2: As far as what I'm wagering on today, I'm sticking
Speaker 2: with those Twins.
Speaker 1: So Joe Ryan, you're.
Speaker 2: Getting plus one twenty eight here against the Yankees and
Speaker 2: Brito's pitching today, so I think that there's a real
Speaker 2: good chance here. So I like the Twins on the
Speaker 2: money line plus one twenty eight. You could bet that separately,
Speaker 2: or if you want to throw it into the very
Speaker 2: heavy favorite Toronto Blue Jays against Spencer Turnbull and the
Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers at home there for the Jays. If you
Speaker 2: want to also throw in the Padres at home against
Speaker 2: the Brewers, I think you can really push this limit
Speaker 2: here a little bit and you get the plus four
Speaker 2: thirty eight, so ten bucks you get four to one
Speaker 2: on that. That's a pretty good situation. I also like
Speaker 2: Randy Rose Arena the over on the one and a
Speaker 2: half total bases. Again, this is over a betting pros
Speaker 2: dot com. You can get this at DraftKings for plus
Speaker 2: one thirty Randy Rose Arena over on the one and
Speaker 2: a half total bases Alec Bohm zero point five runs.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the over here and that's at
Speaker 2: bet rivers. You get plus one thirty five on that.
Speaker 2: And again back to Joe Ryan fan duel five and
Speaker 2: a half strikeouts, you get minus one thirty four. But
Speaker 2: I would pair it with something else that's good and
Speaker 2: you can get a little better action on that. But
Speaker 2: to me, it's very Joe Ryan ish and speaking of
Speaker 2: Alec Bohm too. We talked about on yesterday's show. We
Speaker 2: talked about him and the little Debbie girl. I'm just
Speaker 2: saying I was at the grocery store today, like I
Speaker 2: told you I would be, and it was right there
Speaker 2: in front of me. They were all there, and I
Speaker 2: had the discipline welsh. I did not buy any.
Speaker 3: Why would you not get one after?
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I'm really trying hard.
Speaker 2: You know, it's bathing suit seasons right around the corner.
Speaker 2: I'm really trying hard to get in better shape, take
Speaker 2: better care of myself.
Speaker 1: I've been very serious about.
Speaker 2: My exercising and I really wanted to buy them, but
Speaker 2: I didn't. I think at some point this summer I will,
Speaker 2: but I didn't today. But it was very difficult. I
Speaker 2: have to send oatmeal pies though to Wonky though, because
Speaker 2: she just is too lazy to leave the house.
Speaker 1: They sell them where she lives. She just says, I
Speaker 1: just don't feel like going out. So well, what are
Speaker 1: you betting on today? What do you have going on?
Speaker 3: I struggle with a lot of stuff. You know, Here's
Speaker 3: one bet I made late last night that you can't
Speaker 3: get now because it has changed. But maybe you can
Speaker 3: play market.
Speaker 2: By what a terrible trollo Already here's the thing I'm
Speaker 2: gonna make money on, but you kill everybody.
Speaker 3: I wanted bet on Jeffrey Springs across the board, and
Speaker 3: his strikeout number last night was great. It was five
Speaker 3: and a half, except it was juice to hell, so
Speaker 3: it was really hard to bet at individually. It's like
Speaker 3: minus one sixty. So I decided to do was I
Speaker 3: put him together with one of my favorite to get
Speaker 3: a hit today, Juan Soto. So I paired Springs five
Speaker 3: and a half strikeouts with a one Sodo hit plus
Speaker 3: one fifty. That's what I got out of that one.
Speaker 3: It's now up to six and a half on Springs strikeout,
Speaker 3: which I gotta tell you, I'm still tempted to kind
Speaker 3: of take because now it's closer to even money and
Speaker 3: you can and Wan Soto's total base market has also
Speaker 3: changed because that's another one that I took, and on
Speaker 3: DraftKings in a lot of places it was plus one
Speaker 3: forty for one and a half. It's now moved down
Speaker 3: to one or a half, but it's big juice up.
Speaker 3: So I want to have some involvement in one Sodo Adley,
Speaker 3: Jordan Walker hit Parlay. That is what I'm putting together.
Speaker 3: I gotta keep playing Adley and Jordan Walker's going for
Speaker 3: the record, so why not. I'll either ruin it or
Speaker 3: I'll play it down. So I'm going to put both
Speaker 3: of those together. I would suggest, if you guys have
Speaker 3: not already, go and follow the leading Off group we
Speaker 3: have over at bettingpros dot Com. I may have some
Speaker 3: more plays. I have not quite decided. I actually think
Speaker 3: today is a very have a bunch.
Speaker 1: In there today.
Speaker 3: How they've marked it. So I've put in these all.
Speaker 2: Ten things in there today so you can go again.
Speaker 2: Like Welsh just said, you could follow us download the
Speaker 2: app to free.
Speaker 1: Just download it. You could start to get familiar with that.
Speaker 2: But Betting pros dot Com slash leading Off, that's the
Speaker 2: place to join the group. DFS short slate today on
Speaker 2: the main slate, and I would just stick to the
Speaker 2: main slate again. Joe Ryan, I think the roster percent
Speaker 2: will be low because it's against the Yankees. But Ryan's
Speaker 2: been terrific this year, and I think the Yankee lineup
Speaker 2: is a little vulnerable right now. A nine point nine
Speaker 2: one fandul he's pretty cheap. I don't love a lot
Speaker 2: of the secondary arms in that slate, so I like
Speaker 2: that isolated one picture slate. FanDuel is supposed to DK tonight.
Speaker 2: If you are playing on both though Toronto San Diego,
Speaker 2: those are the two lineups to really attack in terms
Speaker 2: of stacking. You got some value there with Tommy Edmond
Speaker 2: at two point six on FanDuel, Miranda who hasn't hit
Speaker 2: much at two point five, and Julian if he's in
Speaker 2: the lineup at two K tonight.
Speaker 1: That is a huge win. On FanDuel.
Speaker 2: You could put him Joe Ryan in that lineup together,
Speaker 2: get a couple other Minnesota guys, and I really think
Speaker 2: there's a good opportunity there to make that work. Now, Welsh,
Speaker 2: you and I have been on a code strenk when
Speaker 2: it comes to the home runs. Obviously, the home run
Speaker 2: board continues to be strong. Here Primetime up at six,
Speaker 2: VHb Daddy now up at six and Thomas Raiser Ramon.
Speaker 2: You like the bad guy. I think I'm gonna be
Speaker 2: rooting for the bad guy here. I like this Thomas
Speaker 2: Raiser Ramone. So we decided this wasn't ahead of time.
Speaker 2: Welsh actually got his home run call before me in
Speaker 2: the sheet, and I was already taking this guy. So
Speaker 2: we're gonna hold hands together and get on the board
Speaker 2: together today. Welsh talk about the home run call for
Speaker 2: you and me.
Speaker 3: Going with Wan Soda, Well that's the play that we're
Speaker 3: going with today. I kind of locked in on him early.
Speaker 3: Like I said I it was the only thing I
Speaker 3: actually put down last night on the sheet just to
Speaker 3: kind of get ahead, was trying to find the home
Speaker 3: run guy. Is him? I will throw two other guys
Speaker 3: that have me intrigued, and I didn't mention this in
Speaker 3: the betting that I'm actually tempted. One I might take
Speaker 3: here in just a little bit. I don't usually do
Speaker 3: home run bets, but plus seven hundred is Wander Franco today.
Speaker 3: You got about ten minutes before this is going on
Speaker 3: Aleck Boom. You brought up to Alec bowm runs. I
Speaker 3: almost put my bet down on him. There's just something
Speaker 3: about him feeling today, and I think he's plus four
Speaker 3: fifty on a homer. So if you want to have
Speaker 3: like just a little bit of extra fun, you could
Speaker 3: place them. There are a couple guys I dig, but
Speaker 3: one Soto one hundred percent. The play for me today
Speaker 3: and for you, so let's get it. It'll clearly be
Speaker 3: Manny Machada who hits the homer now today, but one
Speaker 3: of those Blue Jays have good numbers again, Spencer Turbol too,
Speaker 3: So just to be on some of the blue Jays today.
Speaker 1: A couple quick.
Speaker 2: Questions here before we get out of it rest of season,
Speaker 2: Walker or Carol?
Speaker 3: I still careful. I mean car Carrol's got three homers,
Speaker 3: five stolen bases. He's never gonna walk. A fun question,
Speaker 3: will he have Carol more homers or walks this year?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say walks, but I see where you're coming from.
Speaker 2: Also, here's from Angelo attempted to drop Stevenson for ojape.
Speaker 1: Is that something you would endorse?
Speaker 3: No, I mean, okay, I'm not like I would freak
Speaker 3: out about it. You could do it, But I got
Speaker 3: this exact question a couple different ways on Twitter. Stevenson
Speaker 3: is the one I would go with.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's from the same person.
Speaker 3: I don't think it was from Angela. I think it
Speaker 3: was from somebody else.
Speaker 1: But Angelo, was it Fromna or Samanta or Jeneton or
Speaker 1: what the people?
Speaker 2: So obviously we'll be back again tomorrow. Go check out
