Speaker 1: Martin makes his mark. Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Pros. This is Leading Off, brought to you
Speaker 1: by Bed MGM, the King of Sports Books. It's me,
Speaker 1: Joey P joe P Zapia with me today, Scott Bogman.
Speaker 2: All the Peanuts and cracker Jacks on our YouTube channel,
Speaker 2: watching live and commenting along. And of course if you
Speaker 2: want to be a peanut and cracker Jack, and I
Speaker 2: know that you do, make sure you subscribe to Fantasy
Speaker 2: Pros MLB channel. We're over seven thousand subscribers. I mean,
Speaker 2: just we're gonna throw a party over the weekend. I
Speaker 2: think there will be a number, yeah, baby, get them
Speaker 2: numbers up. Question Scott Bogman, what do you want in
Speaker 2: the leading off?
Speaker 1: Pinata? What do you want to come out?
Speaker 3: Probably Enchiladas? I like so damn I do like Enchiladas.
Speaker 3: Is not expecting the expecting me to say something some
Speaker 3: candy or something.
Speaker 2: You you forget the fact saucy foods, the fact I
Speaker 2: brang up.
Speaker 3: Ribs, uh you know, uh yeah. But but I have
Speaker 3: fat in my heart, so there's different.
Speaker 4: There's a difference.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm always I've never like you know, my brain
Speaker 2: and pinants never goes to saucy foods, but you know what,
Speaker 2: maybe it should. Maybe this is a new standard. I
Speaker 2: liked it all right. Uh, and doctor Glenn says, maybe
Speaker 2: let's fillip with some apple. Did you make those yet?
Speaker 3: From having I'm saving them for a special occasion because
Speaker 3: you talk them up so much.
Speaker 2: So I'm gotta get the vanilla ice cream, good vanilla
Speaker 2: ice cream to go with it, too, right.
Speaker 1: To what's still hot? Yeah, whatever, whatever you gotta do.
Speaker 2: All right, let's uh, let's get to the baseball, because
Speaker 2: I know that's why you're here. We'll start with the
Speaker 2: headlines of the day, and let's start with showy Tony
Speaker 2: leaving against Toronto with back stiffness. That's never good. Nobody
Speaker 2: likes the back stiffness. That's that's not a good thing.
Speaker 4: When we lose a picture and a hitter all at once.
Speaker 4: Not fun. That unless you're playing, of course.
Speaker 1: So this is why we always talk about this the show.
Speaker 2: Hey on Tani, why he isn't minus money from the
Speaker 2: get go, it's because you know, this is the problem
Speaker 2: if if you're you know, if you go down with
Speaker 2: an injury, you're losing the hitter in the picture and
Speaker 2: it's just this massive, you know swing. Hopefully it's just
Speaker 2: you know, something he can get past. We'll get your
Speaker 2: more information if any pops during the show. If not,
Speaker 2: when we come back on Tuesday, because again no show Monday,
Speaker 2: we're taking off for the holiday. It will be Pinatas.
Speaker 2: But keep an eye on this. Obviously throughout the weekend,
Speaker 2: he engined, Rio exited his start. He just came back.
Speaker 2: So basically nobody's making out of that Angel's game alive
Speaker 2: with the elbow tightness as well. For the Angels game
Speaker 2: that and Reo just got back. Burrios has kind of
Speaker 2: been all over the place. I feel like Toronto's kind
Speaker 2: of in a weird middle ground right now, like they're
Speaker 2: they're kind of, you know, they're looking up at the standings.
Speaker 1: They see the Yankees, they see the Rays.
Speaker 2: Do you think that Toronto right now is going to
Speaker 2: be aggressive and try to acquire another starting picture because
Speaker 2: this real elbow tightness is that can't be a good thing.
Speaker 4: I think you have to.
Speaker 3: You know, Mantas is out there, like, go acquire Mantas.
Speaker 3: I know it's gonna cost a lot, I get it,
Speaker 3: but I think they should do that. You know there's
Speaker 3: other guys that will become available, but I you know,
Speaker 3: your windows open, you're the favorites to win the World
Speaker 3: Series going into the season.
Speaker 4: Your hitting is still there.
Speaker 3: So they got to do something, and I think they
Speaker 3: will be aggressive.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: By the way, people are making comments about your shaved
Speaker 2: face shaved bogs question mark from red Bean.
Speaker 1: So no, that's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I was okay, Yeah, I'm doing okay.
Speaker 3: So the you know, I moved to Texas and I
Speaker 3: forget about animals, and the dogs at my house had
Speaker 3: a couple fleas on them, so I gave them the
Speaker 3: flea bath and everything. But I think a drop of
Speaker 3: water hit my face, but I saw fleas, So I
Speaker 3: was like.
Speaker 4: This has got to go. We got to make sure
Speaker 4: there's none it.
Speaker 3: We the PoID. Yeah, I got a little paranoid. So
Speaker 3: and this is the ensuing result here.
Speaker 2: So Boggs charged all the Manscape lawnmowers at one time
Speaker 2: and then just went to work.
Speaker 1: That's that's pretty much what he did. All right.
Speaker 2: Let's continue on with some of these headlines going through.
Speaker 2: Freddie Freeman posts a homer five Ribbies against the d Backs.
Speaker 2: Great game from him yesterday. We just did a whole
Speaker 2: thing about this piece somebody wrote about vlad Guerrero Junior
Speaker 2: being found out. Well, he hit a home run yest night,
Speaker 2: Martin Perez, our favorite OPO pitcher once.
Speaker 1: Again seven innings.
Speaker 2: I don't know who this guy is, and I don't
Speaker 2: know what he did with Martin Perez, but this Martin
Speaker 2: Perez I'm all about. And you know what, I'm starting
Speaker 2: to think that Martin Perez might be a guy that
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays, the Mets, the Braves might be interested in.
Speaker 2: So keep an eye. If he's out there, he's probably,
Speaker 2: you know, dirt cheap. He might be floating around a
Speaker 2: waiver wire and a shallow league. Still, potentially I would
Speaker 2: go out there and I would absolutely try to acquire
Speaker 2: him last week, so you know, I almost did, and
Speaker 2: I I almost did last week in my home league.
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't do this.
Speaker 3: Like he's the guy that you see at the top
Speaker 3: of the free agent list in every league.
Speaker 2: And you go, I've seen this before, right, because we've
Speaker 2: seen this act. We've seen like moments.
Speaker 1: We're like, oh, Martin Perez, and then it goes all
Speaker 1: the way down. But what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: Montass had eleven strikeouts, so he's looking to get out
Speaker 2: of Texas as well. Trevor's story because he was facing
Speaker 2: the Rangers yesterday. Now he's looking to get out of
Speaker 2: Oakland as well. Trevor story Homers again once again kick
Speaker 2: the tires on trades, folks. I mean you went from
Speaker 2: bottom of the barrel to oh my goodness, this is
Speaker 2: the greatest hitter of all time. There's something in the middle, probably,
Speaker 2: But if you can't cash him in high now and
Speaker 2: get some a lot more than maybe he's worth, what's
Speaker 2: the point of having trades in leagues? This is the
Speaker 2: perfect opportunity to sell high in a player. This is
Speaker 2: unsustainable productive.
Speaker 3: Especially if you're middling, looks like, especially if you're middling
Speaker 3: or low in the standings, man like, go go, go
Speaker 3: trade him for a couple pieces that you need.
Speaker 2: Well, especially since we just saw what the bottom looks like.
Speaker 2: So do you want to experience the bottom again? Because
Speaker 2: it's coming. Hell's coming with him. I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 2: it's happening. Josh Hater records a sixteenth save. Yesterday an
Speaker 2: hour Aaron Nola strikes out ten in another good start
Speaker 2: for him. Aaron Nola I want to give a little
Speaker 2: love to him, because this was a picture I had
Speaker 2: really soured on, and I had rostered him last couple
Speaker 2: of years in a very important dynasty keeper situation, and
Speaker 2: I was just so sick of like the high four
Speaker 2: era with the strikeouts and the bad starts. It's just like,
Speaker 2: I don't know what this guy is. And I let
Speaker 2: him go back in the pile because you can only
Speaker 2: hold eight players, and I'm regretting that I did, because
Speaker 2: he would have been far more cost effective than some
Speaker 2: other guys. What do you credit this turnaround, if you will,
Speaker 2: from Aaron Nola? What have you seen so far out
Speaker 2: of him? That's really kind of right of the ship
Speaker 2: because the inconsistencies might still reappear, But so far he's
Speaker 2: been excellent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just the low walk rate right like
Speaker 3: you saw it from twenty nineteen. The walk rate was
Speaker 3: three five six, down a two point nine, down to
Speaker 3: one point nine, four down to one point four to eight.
Speaker 3: So he just the command keeps getting better every single
Speaker 3: year for Aaron Nola, and that has been outstanding. And
Speaker 3: you know, Robbie Ray is kind of the you know,
Speaker 3: another version of a guy like Aaron Nola.
Speaker 4: Like we keep waiting for it to pop.
Speaker 3: We keep waiting for it to pop than it did,
Speaker 3: and now he's back on the downslide, it seems, so
Speaker 3: hopefully we don't see that side of Aaron Nola. I
Speaker 3: think he's kind of righted this ship here and figured
Speaker 3: it out. So I'm good to acquire or have Aaron Nola.
Speaker 3: But I've done that bit too, Joe, where you drop
Speaker 3: a guy just too early. I've also hung on to
Speaker 3: Dominic Brown, so you know that it cuts both ways.
Speaker 2: So oh, there you go. That was one of the
Speaker 2: one to grow on right there. All right, let's do
Speaker 2: a little can't we talk about this? The Yankees and
Speaker 2: Rays today are not posting anything about today's game on
Speaker 2: social media.
Speaker 1: Instead of they are highlighting facts about gun violence. Good
Speaker 1: for them. I think this is excellent.
Speaker 2: I think more teams should follow suit in this. I'll
Speaker 2: be honest with you, guys. I didn't want to come
Speaker 2: in Tuesday to do this show. I was not feeling cheery.
Speaker 2: I'm not feeling cheery now.
Speaker 1: And you know this is not a political show. It's
Speaker 1: a baseball show.
Speaker 2: So I know my place to come in here and
Speaker 2: give people a respite from the real world. But at
Speaker 2: the same time, our real world needs some re observations
Speaker 2: and some fresh takes. And I think that this is
Speaker 2: great that a lot of people and a lot of
Speaker 2: organizations around baseball, around sports are doing that, just like
Speaker 2: they did in certain other things in the last three years.
Speaker 2: It's time to get together and find a way to
Speaker 2: do better. And I think I want to applaud and
Speaker 2: take a moment here for everybody who is doing that,
Speaker 2: and everybody in big organizations that are doing that too.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure the NFL will follow suit with this
Speaker 2: as well and some other leagues also. So back to
Speaker 2: the baseball because I know that's why you're here. Rookie
Speaker 2: of the Year watch.
Speaker 1: So far, we still.
Speaker 2: Got Jeremy Pania leading in the American League, Julio right
Speaker 2: behind him. But my Julio shares look pretty good right now.
Speaker 2: I like Julio to overtake this. Joe Ryan at three,
Speaker 2: but he's out with COVID right now. Bobby Wit it
Speaker 2: for Ali Rutchman at five. On the National League side,
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Gore has now taken over the one spot.
Speaker 1: Seya Suzuki at two. Told you that was gonna happen.
Speaker 2: I don't know why wan Ya Pez is at three,
Speaker 2: but I want to tell you this. Luis Gonzalez a four,
Speaker 2: Hunter Green is at five. Hunter Green has pitched much
Speaker 2: better recently. I've got a lot of money invested in
Speaker 2: Hunter Green. I might even double down again because I
Speaker 2: keep looking at the guys ahead of him, and I
Speaker 2: keep thinking, maybe, just maybe, if I stayed disciplined and
Speaker 2: I double down one more time, even this could be
Speaker 2: the biggest wager I make all year. American League seems
Speaker 2: like it's Julio's race to lose National League. Who is
Speaker 2: your favorite in your ompe?
Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you this.
Speaker 3: If you took any one of those American League guys
Speaker 3: and put them in the National League, would they be
Speaker 3: the immediate Okay, all right, exactly. So the reason I
Speaker 3: worry about Hunter Green is because the Reds are just
Speaker 3: gonna let him work through whatever his issues are at
Speaker 3: the big league level. So if he has a bad run,
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be at the big league level.
Speaker 3: I don't think he's ever gonna hit a bump, and
Speaker 3: they're gonna be like, let's send him down and let
Speaker 3: him straighten it out.
Speaker 4: What do they care? You know? They're the crazy.
Speaker 3: Team putting up twenty runs, you know whatever, a quarter
Speaker 3: of their season runs in the game yesterday. So they're
Speaker 3: just kind of all over the place right now. So
Speaker 3: I worry about him a little bit in that. I
Speaker 3: think Sayah is a pretty favorite, pretty good favorite bet
Speaker 3: in the National League.
Speaker 4: That's who I would bet on to win it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm got.
Speaker 4: The glove too, man. I watch him against the d Bacs.
Speaker 3: He made like three plays to save runs, and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, look at this guy, like
Speaker 3: this is he should not be a rookie.
Speaker 4: He's already a pro. But I now it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: So we shall see, we shall see.
Speaker 2: MLB notes here just is posted by John Hayman on Twitter.
Speaker 2: Don't at him, He's John Hayman. I love the don't
Speaker 2: at me. I can't believe a sixty year old man
Speaker 2: said don't at me. Anyway, I don't even know if
Speaker 2: he's sixty, but he looks sixty. So I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: pretend an agent.
Speaker 1: Survey says de Grom, what does my hair say?
Speaker 2: Then that Jacob de Grom is going to indeed potentially
Speaker 2: opt out of his contract because it makes sense, or
Speaker 2: it makes sense for him to do that. So let's
Speaker 2: talk this for a second, because this has an impact
Speaker 2: sixty one. See, I was right to done well. He's
Speaker 2: been around a long time too. Here's something that I
Speaker 2: want to throw out there. If indeed Jacob deGrom plans
Speaker 2: to opt out, then I'm starting to think that there
Speaker 2: is a really good chance, especially with the shures or
Speaker 2: injury compounding things in the fact he's throwing from flat
Speaker 2: ground already, that we're going to push the d graam
Speaker 2: timetable that we are going to see him in the.
Speaker 1: Month of June.
Speaker 2: Because if the strategy becomes from and this is where
Speaker 2: the business end of baseball affects your fantasy, affects your wager,
Speaker 2: affects all these other things, right the business end of baseball,
Speaker 2: If you're going to opt out of that contract, you
Speaker 2: can't opt out of it with ten starts and expect
Speaker 2: people to pay you. That crap ain't happening. So he
Speaker 2: is basically has to roll the dice here. And if
Speaker 2: he thinks he's going to opt out, and he thinks
Speaker 2: he's going to go try to cash in, which he
Speaker 2: has every right to do, he's within his rights. It's
Speaker 2: in the contract then maybe just maybe we're going to
Speaker 2: see de Gram a little bit sooner than we think,
Speaker 2: because I think in my head at least it was
Speaker 2: definitely gonna be July sometime like that. Bogs, how do
Speaker 2: you take this and what do you think it implies
Speaker 2: the Gram timetable? If indeed this is the growing sentiment
Speaker 2: around it.
Speaker 3: Well, Number one, I firmly disagree with if you have
Speaker 3: ten starts, someone's going to pay you. If he has
Speaker 3: ten starts and it looks good, he'll get paid.
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: Teams are desperate for pitchers, so he's gonna get paid
Speaker 3: even with three starts, you know it. I mean it
Speaker 3: may not be you know, a giant you know, five, six,
Speaker 3: seven year deal, but it'll be three years and a
Speaker 3: lot of money. So if if he only has a
Speaker 3: couple starts, so I firmly disagree with that, But you're right,
Speaker 3: I mean, what incentive do the Mets have to not
Speaker 3: throw him if he's going to opt out and probably
Speaker 3: go somewhere else. I mean, you would think that the
Speaker 3: Mets right now have more money than God, so they
Speaker 3: can go out there and spend on whoever, you know,
Speaker 3: So it doesn't really matter to them whether he is
Speaker 3: you know, hurt or not, especially if they do want
Speaker 3: to resign him.
Speaker 4: So, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think this is it would be different if he
Speaker 3: was in Colorado, I'll say, or Arizona or any other team.
Speaker 4: You know that that's not the Mets that just print money.
Speaker 3: So with Cohen there, so I'll say, you're probably right,
Speaker 3: but I don't think it's it's as necessary, you know,
Speaker 3: for this club as it would be front of the clubs.
Speaker 2: I agree with the sentiment he'll still get paid by somebody. So,
Speaker 2: but we're talking about the potential best pitcher in baseball.
Speaker 2: And if he makes twenty starts as opposed to eight
Speaker 2: this year, I think that makes a huge skip him.
Speaker 3: He ain't getting the twenty starts anyway. And fifteen, that's
Speaker 3: like if if I think best case scenario is around fifteen,
Speaker 3: because he'll get.
Speaker 1: Scared a quarter away the season now maybe all Star break. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe you get fifteen, seventeen somewhere around that skipped.
Speaker 4: Let me get pushed.
Speaker 3: He'll you know, miss a start here and there. So
Speaker 3: I think fifteen is what you're looking for for him,
Speaker 3: and hopefully you're in the playoffs and he's fine.
Speaker 4: By that.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to another piece here.
Speaker 2: Fun fact, this is why I think Welsh had to
Speaker 2: finally beg off this show, because two qualifying hitters have
Speaker 2: a I think everags below one hundred over the last
Speaker 2: two weeks below one hundred. One of them is the
Speaker 2: Oscar Nanez, hitting zero eight nine point zero eight nine.
Speaker 2: The other is Byron Buckson hitting point zero nine to
Speaker 2: eight in. This stat comes courtesy of the ball of sunshine,
Speaker 2: that is Mike Mayer. So looking at this, looking at
Speaker 2: these numbers, are you jumping in and buying these guys
Speaker 2: everywhere Fox see this kind of struggle?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean I'm Byron. I'm buying Ti Oscar,
Speaker 3: not buying Byron. Byron Buckson is still going to cost
Speaker 3: you a bunch of money for what he did in
Speaker 3: the first month of the season, so he's the cost
Speaker 3: is going to be still very very high. U Ti
Speaker 3: Oscar got hurt and looks like he's still playing hurt,
Speaker 3: so I would probably buy I would probably buy both
Speaker 3: of them if they're cheap. I just assume that you're
Speaker 3: gonna get Ti Oscar cheaper. But they're both playing hurt
Speaker 3: right now, so I don't know, you know. And it's
Speaker 3: funny that Welsh is gone because he's the Bucks and guy.
Speaker 3: I was the guy that said Oscar is gonna hit
Speaker 3: forty this year and obviously not working out so far.
Speaker 3: He got i think six games in and has not
Speaker 3: looked the same since. So I'd buy both these guys
Speaker 3: if they're cheap enough. But we got it. We're talking
Speaker 3: sixty cents on the dollar, not seventy five, not eighty.
Speaker 3: You gotta get him very cheap. And you're just not
Speaker 3: gonna get bust In for that at all. You might
Speaker 3: be able to get uh Ti Oscar for that.
Speaker 1: I think that's an excellent assessment.
Speaker 2: I agree with that that I don't think you're gonna
Speaker 2: get bucks In cheap enough.
Speaker 1: I think you might get Ti.
Speaker 2: Oscar because of the injury on top of it compounding,
Speaker 2: you know, And and it's still I don't think people
Speaker 2: look at those two players the same. But the Oscar
Speaker 2: last year was great. I mean, it's it's there's a
Speaker 2: lot of guys who have come out of the gates
Speaker 2: super slow. I mean, Marcus Simey and I just keep
Speaker 2: that's another player too. It's like, guys, he's just not
Speaker 2: this bad. I mean, something's gonna give there eventually, and
Speaker 2: if you just hang in there long enough or go
Speaker 2: acquire it, I think it's.
Speaker 4: And they haven't even moved.
Speaker 3: They haven't even moved Simmy and down in the lineup
Speaker 3: yet either.
Speaker 1: Why what for?
Speaker 3: Who? For?
Speaker 4: Who?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: Like Brad Mill, you know, I mean, it's just anybody
Speaker 3: anyone that's hitting my way, Keating Cavilia, maybe we can
Speaker 3: get him.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, well, Texas.
Speaker 2: Rangers of old he started to you know, yeah, maybe
Speaker 2: Jeff Fry can come over and hit at the top
Speaker 2: of the order. Here's a trivia question for the day.
Speaker 2: The record for most home runs in a seven game
Speaker 2: span is ten. It was accomplished by three players, ten
Speaker 2: home runs in seven games. Who was the last to
Speaker 2: do it? Or if you want, you could also say
Speaker 2: some of the players that might have done it. Fun fact,
Speaker 2: one of these players was an answer to a trivia
Speaker 2: question earlier in the week.
Speaker 1: So there you have it.
Speaker 2: So if you think you know the answer, you can
Speaker 2: go reply in the chat. But you can't talk in
Speaker 2: the chat unless you're a subscriber. So haha, jokes on you.
Speaker 2: Let's go to this day in baseball history. Yesterday was
Speaker 2: the day that jose Kenzeko hit a ball hit off
Speaker 2: his head and go over the wall. This was a
Speaker 2: day in nineteen ninety three where Dale Murphy called it
Speaker 2: a career just two home runs shy of four hundred.
Speaker 2: The former two time nl MVP back to back mind you,
Speaker 2: announced his retirement as a member of the Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 2: Now that I did not recall, I did not remember
Speaker 2: Dale Murphy with the Rockies. I remember him with the
Speaker 2: Phillies towards the end. But the Rockies he was hitting
Speaker 2: a buck forty three, still higher than Byron Buckston. Ok.
Speaker 2: They last two weeks with no homers and seven rubies
Speaker 2: as a backup for the expansion club at the time.
Speaker 2: I always felt like when I was a kid watching
Speaker 2: Dale Murphy, and I know I'm older than you, but
Speaker 2: I'm not John Hayman Old that I felt this guy's
Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer, Like he's one of the best
Speaker 2: players in baseball, and it seems like he just kind
Speaker 2: of got washed away. But the eighties were a very
Speaker 2: specific period where there wasn't a ton of power. But
Speaker 2: this guy was played on terrible braves teams for the
Speaker 2: most part and was always a perennial All star, great player,
Speaker 2: great athlete. I know you're a little younger, but you
Speaker 2: have any thoughts on Dale Murphy just out of curious.
Speaker 3: I don't remember Dale Murphy that much show, to be
Speaker 3: honest with you, I just you know that's ye're like whatever,
Speaker 3: four or five years older than me. So my memories
Speaker 3: really kicking around ninety six, ninety seven, you know, so
Speaker 3: he obviously retired a little but before that. So I
Speaker 3: just don't remember him enough to have a strong opinion
Speaker 3: about Dale Murphy.
Speaker 1: That's when my beard kicked in around ninety six.
Speaker 4: Is that right? Is that when the yes there on
Speaker 4: top moved down to the face. Is that what it was?
Speaker 1: That's what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it slowly started to infiltrate and say run away,
Speaker 2: run away.
Speaker 1: Mark is right. The Hebrew hammer is the answer.
Speaker 2: Jean Green was the last guy to do it in
Speaker 2: two thousand and two, but Cleveland's Albert Bell did it
Speaker 2: in ninety five, and Washington's Frank Howard did it in
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty eight.
Speaker 3: That far back, I was gonna guess like JD. Martinez
Speaker 3: because he had feign a game. So to Josh Hamilton
Speaker 3: had four in a game, so as and then Sosa
Speaker 3: and Maguire. I was gonna throw in there obviously, you know,
Speaker 3: maybe bonds. So I'm surprised it's none of those guys.
Speaker 1: It's very surprising. Stat heroes.
Speaker 2: Aaron Nola ten strikeouts, eight innings pitched, Frankie Montas seven
Speaker 2: scoreless with eleven k's even Smeltzer, whoever Smeltzer Deltzer six
Speaker 2: k's no earned seven inchs pitch. Nester Cortes, Holy crap, yeah,
Speaker 2: Nester Cortes eight, one run, five k's one walk, unreal.
Speaker 2: Martine Perez obviously best pitcher in baseball in Turi Schooble
Speaker 2: again good, So hopefully you listened, because yesterday the the
Speaker 2: super the super stack of chiap pitchers, Audika here was
Speaker 2: Scooble and Perez, and if he did that, probably got
Speaker 2: some good returns hitters yesterday. Kyle Farmer four for four
Speaker 2: with two dingers, a little nice day for Farmer. Freddie
Speaker 2: Freeman was great. Trevor Story again on fire. Chris Taylor
Speaker 2: three for six with a home run, for Dugo four
Speaker 2: for six, two. He's had a nice season. Andrew Vaughn
Speaker 2: with a home run two for five. So if you
Speaker 2: were patient in dynasty leagues with Andrew Vaughn's paying off
Speaker 2: this year. Nick Senzel, Yes, that Nick Senzel four hits,
Speaker 2: scored twenty runs.
Speaker 3: I mean they scored twenty run yesterday, so you could
Speaker 3: you could have just put anyone not named Joey Vodo
Speaker 3: put the Reds lineup in here and they would have
Speaker 3: been fine.
Speaker 2: Last night, my kids that I caught up a the
Speaker 2: finale Survivor and then when we click back over, it
Speaker 2: flashed like the scores of the games because the MLB
Speaker 2: Network was on and there it was.
Speaker 4: It was like fifteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the only day game yesterday. So I
Speaker 3: had it on and I watched a bunch.
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize it.
Speaker 2: Albert ol Moore three for five, Goldschmid continues to have
Speaker 2: a fantastic May with another home run, and Mookie Betts
Speaker 2: three for five. Here are the zeros. Dallas Kykeel, can
Speaker 2: we please get Dallas Kykele out of rotation enough? Kelly
Speaker 2: pick up Johnny Cquato everywhere and look good for him.
Speaker 2: I mean he doesn't need to pitch, yeah, but still,
Speaker 2: Dallas Kickeele two innings, six earned, it's over, Johnny Quato
Speaker 2: replaces him.
Speaker 3: He's just still just go be with Kelly Nash every day.
Speaker 3: What are you thinking retire? I mean I would have
Speaker 3: retired immediately. What are you thinking?
Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean he's got the contract, so he's
Speaker 2: gonna just a yeah, you're right, I guess the contract.
Speaker 1: So I mean, you know he signed the contract.
Speaker 2: I don't know when he signed the pre dub, but
Speaker 2: like you know, you got to make sure the Yeah,
Speaker 2: you at least finish out one of those contracts. Harberto
Speaker 2: Castellanos six inning, excuse me, four inning, six earned runs,
Speaker 2: Michael Waka nice, five earned runs. You can always count
Speaker 2: on Michael Waka. I was one of the stacks yesterday
Speaker 2: we went and attacked him. Alec boom over four to
Speaker 2: three ks, same for Joey Gallo, Kevin Bizio four with
Speaker 2: three strikeouts. AJ Pollock disappointed on that when I was
Speaker 2: wrong on Aj Pollock esterday over five with the K
Speaker 2: and Glaber Torres was also not good.
Speaker 1: And Ozi Albi's too. There's another guy.
Speaker 2: I feel like Ozzie Albi's could be a dude that
Speaker 2: you could buy low on as well.
Speaker 4: You Agreebox, Yeah, for sure. If you can get him low.
Speaker 4: I just don't.
Speaker 3: He's not gonna be as cheap as these other guys,
Speaker 3: but I would be for sure buying low on Ozzie Albi's.

Speaker 2: No change to the home run board yesterday, So still
Speaker 2: the ni King of the North, thank goodness. Larry c

Speaker 1: That's not true anymore.
Speaker 2: My mother last year did get a smartphone, So mom,
Speaker 2: nice job, well done, Mom. She's in the twenty first century.

Speaker 3: With social One of the biggest mistakes of my life
Speaker 3: was teaching my mom how to text.
Speaker 4: So you know, I don't think.
Speaker 1: Do you get the text from your mom.
Speaker 2: Ever, that's just one of one, with nothing where she
Speaker 2: sends the text before she actually writes something.
Speaker 3: Am I a person in his late thirties early forties, Yes,
Speaker 3: of course I do. Okay, Yeah, I get those all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 2: If anybody else gets those texts, please by all means,
Speaker 2: and I'll get I can feel as soon as the
Speaker 2: show is over today if she was watching, that phone
Speaker 2: is going to ring. In fact, I just got a
Speaker 2: text right now. Is it one of one? No, it's
Speaker 2: not one of one.
Speaker 1: Let's get to.
Speaker 2: Some more betting prosier Shane Bieber on bet MGM six
Speaker 2: and a half is the O runer in the case
Speaker 2: let's take the over against Detroit. Please the juice is
Speaker 2: positive due plus one fifteen.
Speaker 3: What go?
Speaker 1: Just do this now?
Speaker 2: Just pause the show, do it now, Aaron Judge one
Speaker 2: and a half total bases plus one fifteen over on DK.
Speaker 2: On DK, you also get Jose Altuve at plus one
Speaker 2: oh five on the one and a half. Let's go
Speaker 2: to the starting pitchers tonight. On DraftKings, You've got Garrett
Speaker 2: Witlock at six point eight. He's a very cheap option
Speaker 2: as a secondary arm allows you to go get Biebert
Speaker 2: nine k or Verlander at ten point five. If Choyotani
Speaker 2: is out of the lineup, I like Alec Manoa Moore.
Speaker 2: If he is, I like Alec Manoa anyway, and.
Speaker 1: By the way, in many ways I like him more
Speaker 1: like more his.
Speaker 3: Line is five and a half and the Angels strikeout
Speaker 3: at the third highest clip.
Speaker 4: It's true major League Baseball.
Speaker 3: So I like his uh over strikeout total for tonight
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 2: You've also got an interesting uh you know, Jose Kintana's
Speaker 2: pitch very well, and he's going to again Sean Manayah.
Speaker 1: All the money and all this stuff's gonna be on Manayah.
Speaker 2: But there's upset potential there because the one good picture
Speaker 2: of the Pirates really.
Speaker 4: You've got to have.
Speaker 3: You got Jose Who do you have, Roster More, Martin Perez,
Speaker 3: Jose Kintana, Joe I have. I like, literally have Jose
Speaker 3: kN That was my choice last week it was Kinana
Speaker 3: or Martin Morez.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, I can't do Martine Perez.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I just I can't do it, I think because I've
Speaker 2: done it before and it's just been I just want
Speaker 2: to shoot myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I was always I was always such.
Speaker 3: A No one's ever said that about a Jose Cantana before,
Speaker 3: So you're safe.
Speaker 1: No, but I loved but.
Speaker 2: I had a lot of Jose Kintana shares back in
Speaker 2: the day, for you know, like when he was good
Speaker 2: with the White Sox, and I guess I just can't
Speaker 2: shake that, you know. I live in the member berries
Speaker 2: Fandel standalone pitcher. Shane Bieber's just eight point six. He's
Speaker 2: gonna be rostered everywhere. Best Shane Bieber lineup wins on
Speaker 2: Fandel tonight. If you want to go up and be different,
Speaker 2: justin Verlander ten point eight or Manoa who was also
Speaker 2: at ten point two, and then he could be on
Speaker 2: the shauman I side at nine to seven if you
Speaker 2: want to be in the middle. But Bieber's so dirt
Speaker 2: cheap bog Win. Of course, whenever he's on the show
Speaker 2: does homework. I like the Welsh Box actually does some
Speaker 2: things and contributes here to the show. So go ahead, here, Boggs,
Speaker 2: give me some of the BVP numbers you got tonight
Speaker 2: that people should be aware of in dfs and.
Speaker 1: Also in the daily lineup setting and fantasy.
Speaker 3: Gene sigerra seven for sixteen four point thirty eight average
Speaker 3: with three home in a double versus Carlos Carrasco. So
Speaker 3: pretty good track record there, My boy could tell Marte
Speaker 3: five for thirteen, three eighty five average, three doubles versus
Speaker 3: Tony Consolin Scope the shout out to Mayor Scope six
Speaker 3: for twenty three hundred average homer and two doubles for
Speaker 3: Shane Bieber, Asusaguelier five for fourteen with a bomb in
Speaker 3: a double against Ian Anderson, who has not been great
Speaker 3: this year. Travis Darnau four for eight with a homer
Speaker 3: and two doubles verus Trevor Rodgers, Louisa Rise six for
Speaker 3: ten versus Brad Keller and Max Keplo six for sixteen
Speaker 3: with two bombs, two doubles versus Brad Keller.
Speaker 1: There you go, so excellent numbers there. All right, it's
Speaker 1: time for the weekend home run call.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Jordan Alvarez starting with tonight because
Speaker 2: I believe he's facing Chris Flexen, and Chris Flexen's a
Speaker 2: home run machine, so that's what I'm looking for, and
Speaker 2: I'm so close to double digits now. It's been a
Speaker 2: really good May. It was a silent April. I started out,
Speaker 2: you know, in very wit Maryfield ish fashion. But I'm
Speaker 2: getting red hot right now, so let's go. It's been
Speaker 2: a good man. I want to close out strong this
Speaker 2: weekend with Jordan Alvarez. Where are you going for your
Speaker 2: home run call this weekend?
Speaker 4: Boggs Man.
Speaker 3: Any time I get a chance to take Goldie, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna take Golding super hot right now, So let's go.
Speaker 4: Goldie hit another bomb.
Speaker 2: He's so hot right now. It's like Handsel Mike Mayor
Speaker 2: taking Vlad Guerrero Junior. So there you have it. So
Speaker 2: excellent stuff going on there. And look, you know it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a fun weekend of baseball, like I said,
Speaker 2: and try to focus on the positive things. I know
Speaker 2: is a lot of negative things, and hopefully this show
Speaker 2: is a place for you to feel positive. But don't
Speaker 2: feel helpless either. And I just want to point this
Speaker 2: out to you. This is the whole point here. We
Speaker 2: are all together here, we're communities here, and when we
Speaker 2: got a Memorial Day weekend coming up, spend time with
Speaker 2: your family, spend time with your friends, and realize that
Speaker 2: you know, there's always hope. Don't lose hope because change
Speaker 2: is always possible, so let us continue to look forward.
Speaker 2: It's been a long weeks, been a long week here
Speaker 2: for me. I'm sure for Bogs too. Boggs lives in Texas,
Speaker 2: for God's sake. It's just unspeakable tragedies that.
Speaker 1: Have gone on.
Speaker 2: And like I said, I know I didn't address it
Speaker 2: earlier this week, wanted to take some more time here.
Speaker 2: But you know, it's about evolution and it's about change.
Speaker 2: It's not about taking people's rights away. It's about reevaluating
Speaker 2: what we can do to be a better society as
Speaker 2: a whole.
Speaker 1: And I think at the end.
Speaker 2: Of the day, when we all come together is when
Speaker 2: this country's at its best. And you know, people think
Speaker 2: this country is broken in a lot of ways, and
Speaker 2: I can understand.
Speaker 1: Where they're coming from. Lucky for them.
Speaker 2: I like broken things and I like to fix stuff,
Speaker 2: so hopefully you do too, and let's let's get on
Speaker 2: board with all of that. So I love our little
Speaker 2: community here over at Fantasy Pros and I'm very grateful
Speaker 2: for all of you that you take time out of
Speaker 2: your schedule, your daily life to come here and be
Speaker 2: here with us. I hope you enjoyed the baseball, we
Speaker 2: give you today. I hope you enjoy a little bit
Speaker 2: of hope we give you today, and hope you enjoy
Speaker 2: your weekends with your friends and family. So from all
Speaker 2: of us, here fantasy pros for Scott Bogman and me
