Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This of course
Speaker 1: is leading off brought to you. I bet three six, five,
Speaker 1: bet five bucks, get one hundred and fifty bonus bets
Speaker 1: when you do It's be Joey p that's the Welsh.
Speaker 1: What an incredible intro. It makes me smile every single
Speaker 1: time Fantasy Baseball through the night and every afternoon right
Speaker 1: here on the channel Welsh. I've seen it, I don't
Speaker 1: know about fifty times now and in the words of
Speaker 1: Michael Keaton, it keeps getting better every time I see it.
Speaker 2: It's it is the catchiest song.
Speaker 3: AI is evil for it and it is a great cut.
Speaker 3: But we do have to figure out to figure out
Speaker 3: like maybe a day that we played it, we do
Speaker 3: it too much.
Speaker 2: I think I think it's gonna get hated.
Speaker 1: No, no, be sure why nobody know what we do
Speaker 1: is we run it this season and think next year
Speaker 1: we do a refresh. You know.
Speaker 3: I feel like we're gonna have to do multi now
Speaker 3: here's the deal, or maybe a new song, like maybe every.
Speaker 1: Year the tone the show changes.
Speaker 3: We're gonna be like a Game of Thrones one where
Speaker 3: it's like off and then you a crown on and yeah,
Speaker 3: we'll do something like we'll have to have versions TV show.
Speaker 1: I think that's fantastic. All right, let's get to the news.
Speaker 1: Let's start with Garrett Cole. Four innings, four innings, yay.
Speaker 1: He returned to the Yankees on Wednesday. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you would say he's like the best Garret Cole performance.
Speaker 1: The Orioles, you know, are certainly a team that is
Speaker 1: as a real, real good lineup in Baltimore, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Sixty two pitches in this one, So Welsh, what'd you
Speaker 1: take out of your boys? First? Start back with the
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. Garrett Cole on the mound, how you
Speaker 1: do it?
Speaker 2: It was okay he started.
Speaker 3: I thought you started off pretty timid, you know, leaving
Speaker 3: the ball in the zone a little bit. It didn't
Speaker 3: look like swinging miss stuff. The mix didn't feel great.
Speaker 3: He got hit a little bit. Then he obviously picked
Speaker 3: it up. I believe it was a third inning. He
Speaker 3: struck out the side and then he you know, he
Speaker 3: ended pretty strong, healing and went around sixtiest pitches year
Speaker 3: over year.
Speaker 2: Stuff. Here is the info.
Speaker 3: Bastball was down around a mile and a half over
Speaker 3: last year. He was averaging ninety six. He was around
Speaker 3: ninety seven. In this one. He did I'm sorry ninety five.
Speaker 3: In this one he hit ninety seven and a half.
Speaker 3: The cutter was down about a mile per hour, the
Speaker 3: slider was down a mile per hour. Those are significant enough.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's rust, it's still working into it. They also
Speaker 3: tapered back the innings, which I don't think a lot.
Speaker 2: Of us expected.
Speaker 3: So I would if I were grading this, I would
Speaker 3: probably give this like a.
Speaker 2: C plus B minus. This is a B minus type.
Speaker 1: Started this AC plus.
Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna maybe give it a C plus.
Speaker 3: But like you know, he had that really strong ending
Speaker 3: on the strikeouts. He didn't get blown up or anything
Speaker 3: like that. He just didn't go deep. Stuff was down
Speaker 3: a little bit. Definitely something to monitor as me the
Speaker 3: resident Garrett Cole supporter here and ranking him as high
Speaker 3: as I do and just kind of jumping back in.
Speaker 3: You want to see him stack and build back on this.
Speaker 3: So next start's going to be very important to pay
Speaker 3: attention to. You know, where's the v loo at?
Speaker 2: How many innings does he go? But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think Garrett Cole fan should feel pretty solid. It
Speaker 3: just doesn't feel like the time if you're gonna take
Speaker 3: Joe's side in trade, it wasn't out.
Speaker 1: Oh no, that time has passed. That was in the
Speaker 1: big striking performance in the minor league thing where it's
Speaker 1: all again, it's sunshine and roses and the minor league
Speaker 1: rehab starts because he's inferior competition, limitation of the innings,
Speaker 1: just working his way back. I'm not worried about Garret
Speaker 1: Cole in two weeks. I'm worried about Garret Cole in
Speaker 1: six weeks. That's where my worry comes out.
Speaker 2: And that's why.
Speaker 1: And my worry is Kyle Bradish. It's the exact same
Speaker 1: pattern basically we have with Bradish. Similar kind of issues
Speaker 1: comes back for a little while. Everything's fine. No it's
Speaker 1: not Jacob de Gram everything's fine. No, it's not. And
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be the Vlo being down
Speaker 1: not great. That's not what you want to see. How
Speaker 1: the first start. It's funny because I would have thought
Speaker 1: with the adrenaline pumping it would have been higher yesterday,
Speaker 1: like you know, first came back, maybe you know, trying
Speaker 1: a little bit too much like the body, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of going through that to me was odd. That's
Speaker 1: the only thing I'm going to say about it. And
Speaker 1: then I am a Gary Cole fan. I like Geric Cole.
Speaker 1: I am rooting for Garrick Cole. I do not want
Speaker 1: him to get hurt. I'm just saying I'm here for fantasy.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm here for. Just like his peak values
Speaker 1: past already.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't I completely disagree with that.
Speaker 3: I think of his time, the peak period that we
Speaker 3: live in currently in this timeline was after that ten
Speaker 3: strikeout performance in the minor leagues.
Speaker 2: But the biggest moment of.
Speaker 3: Trade value has not happened yet, and it will happen
Speaker 3: once he gets to five or six innings.
Speaker 2: If that, you know, here would be the thing.
Speaker 3: If he starts to get five or six innings, strikeouts
Speaker 3: are there, but that velo kind of keeps going down,
Speaker 3: that's going to be a warning sign a little bit more.
Speaker 3: But I'm telling you right now, his peak trade value
Speaker 3: has not happened yet. It's just in our current time
Speaker 3: that has passed.
Speaker 1: So our listeners messaged me on the on the Twitter
Speaker 1: machine and he was like, what about Tanaka? And I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, Tanaka was a guy that not to
Speaker 1: go with the surgery and stuff like that. But also
Speaker 1: Tanako is never the same picture he was from Japan
Speaker 1: or that first spurt with the Yankees where he was
Speaker 1: dominated after never again beat fouts. Holy moly, how much
Speaker 1: of your budget did you have to allocate to get
Speaker 1: that bit of artistic magistry? None? None. Welsh put it
Speaker 1: in the AI machine, and then our good friend Michael
Speaker 1: Kelly here, our amazing producer, put it together like that
Speaker 1: was his weekend fun project. So I think the hardest
Speaker 1: thing was finding the full house font. And again, if
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what are we talking about, go to the
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. If you just listen and watch the video.
Speaker 3: I got that song made in thirty seconds, that entire
Speaker 3: song with all its lyrics. I used three prompts and
Speaker 3: I got that song.
Speaker 1: And we got the peanuts and cracker jacks in there too,
Speaker 1: which I was very happy. That made my heart smile,
Speaker 1: because this is your show, everybody. Bobby Miller. Five runs,
Speaker 1: two strikeouts, six and the third innings. Now, look, it
Speaker 1: was against Colorado, WA and Colorado, so I think that's
Speaker 1: the only thing. So we can't get too ben out
Speaker 1: of shape about this. It was good that he was there.
Speaker 1: Good that he was back six and the third innings. Okay,
Speaker 1: you don't love the run total, okay, Welsh. Any thoughts
Speaker 1: on Bobby Miller's return yesterday. Lots of turning pictures.
Speaker 3: Here, like it was just good, you know, love and
Speaker 3: lost and it was just nice and he showed up
Speaker 3: and well, but.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the positive is you got Bobby Miller back. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The negative I know there's somebody a manager in my
Speaker 1: home league who's got Bobby Miller and Garrett Cole. So
Speaker 1: she was very happy, like, yeah, I get all my
Speaker 1: pictures back on the same day. But boo, because neither
Speaker 1: of the outings really were exciting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we kind of said, like in Colorado wasn't great,
Speaker 3: so Velo down just to tick about half a mile.
Speaker 3: Prower in this one. Slider was down as well. Sometimes
Speaker 3: we had Colorado based things on like spin and just effectiveness,
Speaker 3: so that you know, that could have definitely played a
Speaker 3: role in but over a Milt Prower down on the slider.
Speaker 3: As far as his stuff goes, though, he got he
Speaker 3: did have eight wisths in this game, but every single
Speaker 3: one was only off at the change up, so he
Speaker 3: was not doing anything. The fastball really wasn't in the zone,
Speaker 3: was around fifty percent zone rate. The curveball did nothing.
Speaker 3: He didn't really throw a whole lot of sliders either.
Speaker 3: It was literally everything off of the change up. So
Speaker 3: I think it's something good to work off of. He
Speaker 3: did hit ninety nine in this but sat ninety seven
Speaker 3: and a half. Give me out of Colorado to see
Speaker 3: where it is. Yeah, again, I would say this is
Speaker 3: probably like a B. This is like a B performance.
Speaker 1: Ninety seven. Yeah, that's good. We're happy with that. No else,
Speaker 1: I'm happy about hitting Royce lewis eighth home run. Why
Speaker 1: am I just not picking Royce Lewis every day? What's
Speaker 1: wrong with me? I just go right to the.
Speaker 3: See He said that because he had like an zero
Speaker 3: for four day and then he told his manager. He
Speaker 3: was like, I don't believe in those slumps. He's like,
Speaker 3: I don't believe in falling into some slumps, so don't worry,
Speaker 3: and like, so the guy just doesn't stack hitless days
Speaker 3: on top of itself. But yeah, Royce Lewis, right, Risslewis
Speaker 3: might have forty homers and have missed you know, the
Speaker 3: first two months practically.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, Bryce Harper launching two solo shots yesterday. I'm
Speaker 1: mad because I picked Harper two days ago. I was
Speaker 1: gonna yesterday. Yesterday, Yeah, yesterday, get too. So I'm a
Speaker 1: little annoyed. He almost said, Justin Bieber because I was
Speaker 1: talking about him with my daughters two seconds ago. Really,
Speaker 1: Tanner Byby, I saw the b Biber to me, Uh
Speaker 1: Tanner Bieber.
Speaker 2: Bay Bee Bay baby bay baby.
Speaker 1: Uh So Tanner Tanner Bieber shrink out twelve batters in
Speaker 1: six innings. Tremendous star from him. Josh Naylor in that
Speaker 1: same game three for four with two dingers. Some other
Speaker 1: big strikeout performances too, Garret Crochet another eight k's and
Speaker 1: six and Hunter Green nine strikeouts, nine in six and
Speaker 1: the third shutout inning. So all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: Reds have this Hunter Green Nicolodolo top of the rotation
Speaker 1: that we've been waiting for, which seems like I don't
Speaker 1: know forever, but it's probably only been two years, but
Speaker 1: it seems like forever. And man, I just keep looking
Speaker 1: at that Red's team. They get Marte back soon. I
Speaker 1: think I get McClean back at any point in the
Speaker 1: next two months. Like that's the other question too.
Speaker 2: I feels said very vague.
Speaker 3: He's gonna start I don't know if they said he's
Speaker 3: gonna start running or start getting into games in August.
Speaker 2: Nah. Now he's just I don't think he's going to be.
Speaker 3: Very much of anything fantasy relevant this year. But to
Speaker 3: your point, maybe into the plants. Also like a Frankie Monta,
Speaker 3: so they've got actually a pretty decent three.
Speaker 2: You would just love that.
Speaker 1: Monta is bad. He's a little bit. He's like ball
Speaker 1: or nothing.
Speaker 3: Give me, give me like a innings eating ground, like
Speaker 3: really solid.
Speaker 1: Like Kyle Hendrick, who also a big strikeout game. I
Speaker 1: didn't put in the show sheet because well it's Kyle Hendrix.
Speaker 1: But Razor get very excited about the about the Reds. Uh,
Speaker 1: just for fun. Zach Geloff again continuing home run streak.
Speaker 1: Another home run against the Royals yesterday. Sean Murphy four
Speaker 1: for four with two dingers. That was fun. Randy Rose Arena,
Speaker 1: what a weird fun day for him. Had a single,
Speaker 1: a double, a walk, hit by a pitch, scored a run,
Speaker 1: stole a base. That's a full day, Like, that's a
Speaker 1: full day of baseball activities. That's baseball activities everybody and
Speaker 1: Brandon fought logged another quality start yesterday too, So that's
Speaker 1: that didn't get the win.
Speaker 3: It's kind of lost, but still at Homer to Jessica,
Speaker 3: that's okay because Jackson Merrill hit another home run.
Speaker 1: Rookie, lookie time, another dinger for Jackson Merrill. What is
Speaker 1: happening here? Welsh? Unbelievable for this guy. Like he is
Speaker 1: red hot right now.
Speaker 3: I told you just don't be too dismissive yet of
Speaker 3: the rookie of the year floating away from him. I'm
Speaker 3: listening super low ks. He is hitting two seventy nine.
Speaker 3: He has a better expected batting average than he is
Speaker 3: currently putting out there. His barrel rates climbing, his hard
Speaker 3: hit rate is climbing, double digit percentage launching, all degree launching,
Speaker 3: all three of those. These are solid numbers for really
Speaker 3: good contact rate for a guy that does not strike out.
Speaker 3: He's tough to beat man. You're not getting fastballs by him.
Speaker 3: He's hitting three thirty one against fastballs. Jackson Merrill, like
Speaker 3: I said, he might drop a twenty twenty season on
Speaker 3: us when it's all said and done, and it's gonna
Speaker 3: be tough if imon agil Like continues. You know, pitching
Speaker 3: how he is or Schemes keeps skiming, But Jackson Merril
Speaker 3: will be in that.
Speaker 2: He'll be in that race.
Speaker 1: Also called up Tyler Black is back back in Black
Speaker 1: for the Brewers. So there you go. We'll call up there.
Speaker 1: But that's not the only rookies we're talking about, because
Speaker 1: it's Thursday, and you know what that means. It's time
Speaker 1: for prospect and with the Welsh, with Chris Welsh, who
Speaker 1: knows a thing or two about prospects. So Welsh, who
Speaker 1: are the prospects down on the farm that y'all won't
Speaker 1: talk about today.
Speaker 3: Well, we won't be talking about a Rovas Martinez because
Speaker 3: he was called up right. He's up in the mat
Speaker 3: and not playing by the way I think this, So
Speaker 3: they're gonna play him this weekend.
Speaker 2: They didn't like the matchup, so that's a great start.
Speaker 1: That's really exciting.
Speaker 2: No, we're not.
Speaker 3: Gonna target James Wood yet, but Dylan Cruz has been
Speaker 3: called up to Triple A to join him, so that
Speaker 3: outfield is incredible. We'll see when we get the hashtag
Speaker 3: free James Wood in the near future, but it is
Speaker 3: not today.
Speaker 2: So here are some thoughts.
Speaker 3: One of the most prolific young hitters so far in
Speaker 3: the minor leagues has not been somebody that anyone has
Speaker 3: you would expect if I'm like, hey, who were the
Speaker 3: top guys, You're probably gonna rattle off everybody, but this
Speaker 3: guy's name because he was once a diamondback, then a
Speaker 3: guardian back to a diamondback, and he's now in Triple A.
Speaker 3: Davis and Dela Santos, who we've talked about a few
Speaker 3: different times.
Speaker 2: Here's truly interesting.
Speaker 3: Dela Santo's, originally a third baseman, has done some first
Speaker 3: was playing some outfield, destroying the minor leagues. Well, things
Speaker 3: might be changing. He had not been playing third base
Speaker 3: at all this year, but in Triple A. He now
Speaker 3: has six games logged at third base in Triple A,
Speaker 3: and that is important because the Diamondbacks are kind of
Speaker 3: out on Johannio Suarez. They are looking at me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Local is kind of getting ready with him. And then
Speaker 3: what else happened? Jordan Lawla got hurt again. He was
Speaker 3: working at third base. So this might be the opening,
Speaker 3: especially with Dela Santo's, because of his bat over the
Speaker 3: last thirty days, he's hitting three h nine six homers.
Speaker 3: He's got nine doubles, he's cut down the strikeout rate
Speaker 3: a men's crazy power. I really think they're setting themselves
Speaker 3: up that maybe Dela Santo's can be there. Swore as
Speaker 3: he doesn't have the defensive prowess, but they probably want
Speaker 3: to get that bat.
Speaker 2: In the lineup.
Speaker 3: So with him at Triple A, with the Diamondbacks playing
Speaker 3: him in Triple A at third base, and Johnio Suarez
Speaker 3: probably a couple of weeks away from probably getting it
Speaker 3: designated for assignment, I think we can see de la
Speaker 3: Santos soon and he could play in a couple different spots.
Speaker 3: So you're looking for big, big power in at Diamondbacks
Speaker 3: lineup in a big offensive lineup where there's going to
Speaker 3: be you know, runners in front.
Speaker 1: That might be the guy and they could use that.
Speaker 1: They could use that thump of the milliy order. Look,
Speaker 1: if they signed Suarez, they brought him in there to
Speaker 1: be that. You know, they knew where they were getting
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna go a low batting average, gives him pop.
Speaker 1: But like it just hasn't worked out. And I picked
Speaker 1: up del Santo's weeks ago. In fact, I think when
Speaker 1: you made the first piece here about him on prospesting
Speaker 1: with the Welsh and I went and I watched some
Speaker 1: more tape on him and I was very impressed. And
Speaker 1: then he got bumped up I think not too long
Speaker 1: after that to the triple A level. So I'm all
Speaker 1: for it. I think they should bring him up. And
Speaker 1: you're at the Lawler injury really did open things up.
Speaker 1: Who else is opening eyes for you down?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the biggest change is the third base. He's
Speaker 2: playing base again.
Speaker 1: And I think was like, okay, well maybe we can
Speaker 1: move Lawla over there and get him up there. But
Speaker 1: Lala's going to be on for what was a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks with the.
Speaker 2: Ham sign and then I'll read back to it.
Speaker 3: So like him playing third base is kind of the
Speaker 3: big changer. All right, here's a couple of pitchers we
Speaker 3: can take a look at. You guys know of Shane
Speaker 3: Boz So I wanted to bring up Shane.
Speaker 2: Bos in this world. Over his last two starts, he's
Speaker 2: gone eleven innings.
Speaker 3: He went five and then six, struck out eighteen and
Speaker 3: only walked three. And here's the big deal, because walks,
Speaker 3: they had been kind of a thing for him, but
Speaker 3: he had just won in his last outing.
Speaker 2: He was stacking walks across the board. In his last start.
Speaker 3: When he took a look behind the scenes, he was
Speaker 3: sitting around ninety six, which you love to see, and
Speaker 3: he had fourteen whiffs in that last start. So Shane
Speaker 3: Buzz has been a little bit dicey. I think we're
Speaker 3: on the press of piss. I think he was even
Speaker 3: lined up to be a guy that could pitch like
Speaker 3: today he's not. But I think maybe early next week.
Speaker 3: So if you want to stash Shane Boss because he's
Speaker 3: out there, because people are like, what the hell's going on?
Speaker 2: You could do that.
Speaker 3: Another one who has never reached the majors, and this
Speaker 3: would be hilarious if they do it. Pirates Brandon Ashcraft,
Speaker 3: but Welsh, we have Jared Jones, we have Paul Skins.
Speaker 3: You know what, Let's just get the whole set of
Speaker 3: rookies out there, because Ashcraft is in Triple A on
Speaker 3: the year. He's got a three point zero six ERA great,
Speaker 3: one point zero six whip awesome, and.
Speaker 2: He just got pushed up to Triple A.
Speaker 3: He's got two starts under his belt where he's given
Speaker 3: up only six hits one and run struck out eight
Speaker 3: over ten innings. He's got a mid nineties fastball, a
Speaker 3: high eighty slider, which in his last start he had
Speaker 3: a sixty percent whiff rate on that slider, and that
Speaker 3: rotation's kind of jacked up. They don't even have a
Speaker 3: full set of five starters. No one coming out here
Speaker 3: in the near future. I think Ashcraft is a guy
Speaker 3: that could get in that lineup, maybe even at the
Speaker 3: expense of, like, you know, send Jara Jones down for
Speaker 3: two weeks or tapering down, but they've got to get
Speaker 3: some more arms in there, and I think Ashcraft would
Speaker 3: be a great pickup.
Speaker 2: And then Joe.
Speaker 3: The last thing is we're actually seeing Jake bloss double
Speaker 3: a pitcher for the Ashles, get called up today. That
Speaker 3: has been something I brought up multiple times. Who or
Speaker 3: whom are players that could jump from double A. So
Speaker 3: here are two guys that I have written about before,
Speaker 3: but we're getting closer. Who could jump from double A
Speaker 3: to the majors here very soon? Someone said it just
Speaker 3: in the chat a second ago. Tampa Bay Rays Carson Williams.
Speaker 3: He has the highest WRC plus of any player in
Speaker 3: double A right now.
Speaker 2: He's still being held down because it's the Rays.
Speaker 3: He's got ten homers fifteen stolen bases while hitting two
Speaker 3: eighty nine.
Speaker 2: Was that Caveero has kind of come down a little bit.
Speaker 3: Batting average is still there still some bases, but this
Speaker 3: might be a defensive upgrade putting Carson Williams in there,
Speaker 3: plus the offense. I think he's a guy they could
Speaker 3: just make that jump to get in the lineup and
Speaker 3: then Angels Caden Dana as far as a pitcher, young twenty.
Speaker 1: Years another guy you mentioned before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And part of the reason is I think they've
Speaker 3: had him here because they don't want to put him
Speaker 3: in the PCL. PCL can ruin confidence just overall, it's
Speaker 3: a bad thing for pitchers, and in some spaces they
Speaker 3: still haven't moved him up. But guess what he's going Berserko.
Speaker 3: He has a two point three to one er twenty
Speaker 3: year old pitcher, two point three one ERA, and he's
Speaker 3: coming off of a seven inning, nine strikeout performance in
Speaker 3: his last start. He's got a point nine to three
Speaker 3: whip and the Angels are putting out Zach Plisk right now.
Speaker 3: So I think they've been holding him back on this
Speaker 3: performance because they don't want to put him into the
Speaker 3: environment of triple A. So I really do think looking
Speaker 3: at that rotation what they're putting out there, you might
Speaker 3: just see Dana make the jump here in the near future,
Speaker 3: because they do need to make a move. You can't, like,
Speaker 3: there's what else are we learning in double A right
Speaker 3: now outside of if they don't want to start a
Speaker 3: clock and they just want to keep him down, you
Speaker 3: could do that. He's absolutely destroying double A. So I
Speaker 3: do think he's a player that could jump, because that's
Speaker 3: what the Angels like to do.
Speaker 2: Those are the players that I'd be prospecting this week.
Speaker 1: There you go, everybody. Make sure if you want more
Speaker 1: prospecting with the Welsh, you can always head over to
Speaker 1: fantasypros dot com and check out all of his work
Speaker 1: there too. All right, let's get to the threes ups
Speaker 1: and threes down here. Cole Reagan's two runs, seven strikeouts
Speaker 1: and a loss to the A's He did to lose
Speaker 1: Freddy Parolta bounce back yay. I wrote about him earlier
Speaker 1: this week about buying Freddy Parolta because I know the
Speaker 1: ERA was high, but the XCRA was good over the
Speaker 1: last month. Regardless of the fact the RA was hiding.
Speaker 1: The strikeouts were still over eleven point nine. I think
Speaker 1: ks per nine over that same stretch where he was
Speaker 1: struggling in air quotes. Well, eight hitters struck out yesterday
Speaker 1: for Freddy Parlt in six innings against the Angels, a
Speaker 1: team that didn't always strike out that much. Hunter Brown
Speaker 1: another good one against the White Sox. Thank goodness because
Speaker 1: the Astros needed it. Six strikeouts, you know. W On Wednesday,
Speaker 1: three down, here we go again. Kevin Gosman made the
Speaker 1: list again. Welsh We talked about the splits of Kevin Gosman.
Speaker 1: I mean, everything is just good and bad. He is jackal.
Speaker 1: He has hired five, earned five and two thirds. He
Speaker 1: struck out four, walk three bad. Brian Wu this one's
Speaker 1: a little troubling. Well, he had the injury. He just
Speaker 1: came back, struck out one guy. He only went four innings.
Speaker 1: Is this because of the layoff or because of the
Speaker 1: fact that he's really not healthy.
Speaker 2: I guess if I had to pick one of those, he.
Speaker 1: Was thirteen days or something, sains he laid his last start,
Speaker 1: something to that effect.
Speaker 3: That's what I would I would go with if I
Speaker 3: had to pick one of those, would be the layoff.
Speaker 3: It's just like that's a tough team, they make a
Speaker 3: lot of contact, they don't strike out a lot. They're
Speaker 3: going to extend it bats, you know, Josh Naylor, Jose
Speaker 3: Ramirez's a.
Speaker 2: That's a tough team to go against.
Speaker 3: And he wasn't. I mean, you know, when he doesn't
Speaker 3: have that swing and miss stuff which the Guardians took
Speaker 3: away from him.
Speaker 2: You know, I think the.
Speaker 3: Extended period of time off him not going deep into
Speaker 3: the game. I think that's all the effect. I'm not
Speaker 3: playing any injury card with him right now.
Speaker 1: And tarik'skouble we talked about on cleaning up yesterday. S
Speaker 1: earned five runs, four earned a, four innings in a
Speaker 1: loss to the Braves. So, you know, bad start to
Speaker 1: the game, but still, I mean, everybody's human.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know Zach Wheel.
Speaker 1: As well, bad start all of a sudden, he's the
Speaker 1: third guy for this young It's just so funny. One
Speaker 1: bad start on the board changes so much. Injuries actually
Speaker 1: not a lot to get to mostly positive for mostly Clinton.
Speaker 1: Kershaw three innings in his first minor league rehab starting. Hiya,
Speaker 1: Rancho Cucamonga. I just like saying Rancho Cucamonga. I just
Speaker 1: I don't get to say it very often, so when
Speaker 1: I get to I.
Speaker 2: Can't. I can't roll. I wish I could.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, by the way, I can't too. Oh. I
Speaker 1: take a question from here too before I forget j J.
Speaker 1: Russo Welsh, what's your thoughts on Jonathan Cannon? Real quick?
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on Canon?
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna I mean as far as like,
Speaker 3: is he going to stay in the rotation? I think
Speaker 3: they're going to continue doing that.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: He's never been a big strikeout guy. I think he's
Speaker 3: done a really good job of like inducing not great contact,
Speaker 3: which I think is a big plus. And I think
Speaker 3: he's got some really good secondaries. I think he's like
Speaker 3: a solid fourth starter for the real team. He's a
Speaker 3: streamer for I mean, he's white Sox, so he's just
Speaker 3: he's more of a streamer.
Speaker 1: Fred Dinger of the question for me, Joey p Sha
Speaker 1: Goldberg get a last match? He's awful. No, he shouldn't.
Speaker 1: He's awful. He's a he's a menace to himself and others.
Speaker 1: Is he still ask Brett Hart? No, Like, I think
Speaker 1: he's teasing. He wants to have one more match or
Speaker 1: whatever it is. You know that whole Did you watch
Speaker 1: the WCW thing by now.
Speaker 2: But because it's on ice or whatever, like I can't.
Speaker 1: It's all on demand, no Amazon Prime or maybe after
Speaker 1: it's done premiering, it'll end up there, so.
Speaker 2: I don't have I just do all streaming now, I
Speaker 2: don't have cable.
Speaker 3: Just ask Brett hard about Bill gold Watch. I literally
Speaker 3: went to go watch it last night. I was over
Speaker 3: my house.
Speaker 1: We'll watch it. See, that's the thing we lives. Just
Speaker 1: come over. Like if I lived as close to you
Speaker 1: as Donnie lives to you, I could just say, come
Speaker 1: over my house, we'll watch it all together, and then
Speaker 1: that'd be fun.
Speaker 2: Move out to Arizona, come on down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, a thousand degrees there. I can't do it.
Speaker 2: You'd love it.
Speaker 1: My bald head can't handle it. Kyle Bradish underwent successful
Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery, so he will be out all of
Speaker 1: this year, pretty much all of next year. You're not
Speaker 1: going to see him next year period, but hopefully twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six, Boys and girls, here's the guy that I
Speaker 1: basically forgot about. Josiah Gray working on a minor league
Speaker 1: rehab assignment. A double allow, two runs and three hits
Speaker 1: are five innings, so there's another name, maybe the you know,
Speaker 1: the rotation. Gods will be kind to us and we'll
Speaker 1: get him back into that Washington rotation. Washington has been
Speaker 1: a plucky team and Nolan Jones was scratched from the
Speaker 1: Rockies lineup. Everyone was panicking, but apparently just an illness.
Speaker 1: He watched tape of him playing this year and he
Speaker 1: got physically ill that I will get this.
Speaker 3: He is turning it around like it's so hard. You
Speaker 3: can't look at the scope of him because it tells
Speaker 3: all the bad stuff in the beginning. But you know,
Speaker 3: he's starting to get hits. He wasn't striking out, he's walking.
Speaker 3: I actually think he's like a really solid buy right now.
Speaker 3: But it is like, lol, when he gets scratched or
Speaker 3: hurt or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: See, Jersey's going to come over. Jerry lives in Jersey.
Speaker 1: Come on over watch the WCW thing. We'll order some
Speaker 1: food to be fun, get some beers. The Dodgers put
Speaker 1: Walker Buller on the fifteen day io with get this
Speaker 1: we wash right hip in alimation.
Speaker 2: After his blow.
Speaker 1: Because he well, he did take a ball off of
Speaker 1: his leg during that start, so they decided to use
Speaker 1: that for the il stant the student athletes. Oh so good,
Speaker 1: so good. All right, it's Thursday. You know what that means.
Speaker 1: It's time for the best bets the day with Joey
Speaker 1: p and the Welsh. Make sure you place your bets
Speaker 1: at Bet three sixty five Bet five bucks, get one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bonus bets when you do, only when
Speaker 1: you use the promo code leading off again, leading off
Speaker 1: support our sponsor Bet three six five Welsh Limited Sligh
Speaker 1: for us today. A lot of day games, so we're
Speaker 1: sticking to more of the evening stuff at least. I
Speaker 1: am hyper focusing on the Yankees today on the run
Speaker 1: line minus one and a half at plus one forty
Speaker 1: against Baltimore, because Louis Heel is on the mound and
Speaker 1: he's still pitching very well, very well. For now, we'll see.
Speaker 3: My buddy Dennis Chuller, who I've talked about has him
Speaker 3: as a who has Louis Heel. I'm meeting up with
Speaker 3: him later today and we are meeting up to go
Speaker 3: watch the Luis Heel start.
Speaker 1: I thought you were. I thought you were going to
Speaker 1: meet up to watch the WCW documentary. That's why I
Speaker 1: thought you're No.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't like they play those.
Speaker 1: Where are you going to watch the start? Where you go?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Might go to a little cold beer and cheeseburger, maybe
Speaker 3: maybe maybe a little buffalo, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll see who knows, who knows where the day goes.
Speaker 1: I'm also looking at Louis Heel under two and a
Speaker 1: half earned runs at minus one sixty three, which is expensive.
Speaker 1: So instead of going for that juice, I'm gonna pair
Speaker 1: it with Yankees on the money line, which is a
Speaker 1: safer bet than the run line. You'll need to win
Speaker 1: by one there. So the Yankee run line along with
Speaker 1: Heel under two and a half earned runs plus one
Speaker 1: ninety eight. When you put those two things together, that's
Speaker 1: a pretty good day at the office too. Two to
Speaker 1: one on that plus one forty on the Yankees run
Speaker 1: line again of minus one and a half, and then
Speaker 1: San Francisco even money on the money line against Milwaukee today.
Speaker 1: I think that's a bet that I will take with
Speaker 1: San fran in their own building. Welsh, what do you
Speaker 1: have for the people today?
Speaker 2: Man? I got served up a big old slice of
Speaker 2: humble pie yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, got a stone cold me to this week?
Speaker 3: I had read two great days and then just got
Speaker 3: annihilated yesterday.
Speaker 2: So back to basics.
Speaker 3: I am not caring at all about the time of
Speaker 3: day these are playing, so I would remind everybody make
Speaker 3: sure you're watching live whenever you can, and you're giving
Speaker 3: the opportunity watch live so you don't miss any of
Speaker 3: the picks, because some of these picks are going to probably.
Speaker 2: Happen in ten minutes or so.
Speaker 3: But first up, I'm going with Seattle Mariners first five
Speaker 3: money line. Let's get back to basics. Luis Castillo is
Speaker 3: on the mound, thank you very much, minus one twenty
Speaker 3: money line first five for Seattle. Next, I am doing
Speaker 3: a money line full game parlay Dodgers with Gavin Stone.
Speaker 3: A couple people have been sitting in the chat and
Speaker 3: do they feel comfortable about Stone?
Speaker 1: It's Colorado.
Speaker 3: I know feel comfortabout anything in Colorado, but I do
Speaker 3: think Stone can.
Speaker 2: Rattle off a half decent start.
Speaker 3: Regardless of the point, I don't think the Dodgers are
Speaker 3: dropping that game, so I'm taking them, and I am
Speaker 3: pairing that with Kansas City behind Seth Lugo, who's going
Speaker 3: up against the A's their money line, So Dodgers Royals
Speaker 3: full game money line paired out together that is right
Speaker 3: around plus one forty, so some good plus money, and
Speaker 3: then I'm I'm gonna kind of stick with this for
Speaker 3: a little bit. Didn't work yesterday though I almost had it,
Speaker 3: but Taj Bradley didn't get the strikeouts. I'm taking two pitchers,
Speaker 3: I'm dumbing down their strikeouts, and I'm parlaying them together.
Speaker 3: This isn't a bunch of juice, but I'll give you
Speaker 3: one way you could do it. Taking Luis Castillo, who's
Speaker 3: got a pretty low marker at four and a half today. Four,
Speaker 3: We're going four strikeouts for Castillo. Then I'm going to
Speaker 3: McKenzie Gore and I'm going to McKenzie Gore five strikeouts,
Speaker 3: but you could go to six, and if you go
Speaker 3: to six you'll get much better plus money. But I'm
Speaker 3: really pairing it down against the Diamondbacks. Diamondbacks have a
Speaker 3: like seventeen percent k rate over the last two weeks,
Speaker 3: except against lefties, where it's around like twenty five percent.
Speaker 2: So lefties have been killing them.
Speaker 3: So McKenzie Gore five, Luis Castillo four, pair them together,
Speaker 3: get plus one oh seven. If you want to get
Speaker 3: a little bit fancy. You could do mckenzi gore at
Speaker 3: six strikeouts and you'll get better money.
Speaker 2: That's where I'm at.

Speaker 1: of the day or Thursday. In Major League Baseball, Welsh
Speaker 1: came to an end, by the way, something glorious. The
Speaker 1: Mets win streak with Grimace came to an edit seven
Speaker 1: to zero. But so that's it. So now it's onto
Speaker 1: the Hamburglar. I guess there's no way if I'm the
Speaker 1: Mets organization that I'm not finding some other whether it
Speaker 1: be the Fry guys, the Hamburglar. Trying to remember who
Speaker 1: else was in that pack of rap.
Speaker 3: Stock I was gonna I was gonna go Sesame Street,
Speaker 3: and it's like they should be the Guarba guy.
Speaker 1: They should just be the I think they've already been
Speaker 1: that for a job brouch home run calls today, I'm
Speaker 1: going with ti Oscar Hernandez in Colorado. That's what I
Speaker 1: want against the lefty, That's what I'm looking for. Looking
Speaker 1: at the board today, again, not too much movement here.
Speaker 1: So no, it doesn't look like anybody in this board
Speaker 1: had the Bryce Harper to home run day or the
Speaker 1: Josh Nailer to a run day. So I am safe
Speaker 1: from elimination today, but it's getting tougher and tougher to
Speaker 1: hang with this group. The peanuts and cracker jacks are
Speaker 1: so good. Welsh, where are you going for your home
Speaker 1: run call today?
Speaker 2: And we're about to go to a wheel here soon.
Speaker 2: That's how.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you just stick with the wheel.
Speaker 1: The wheel has been kind.
Speaker 2: To We could, yeah, we could come back two.
Speaker 1: Homers of three wheels. I want to.
Speaker 2: Say, oh, you might be right about that. I think
Speaker 2: Gunner and before he died, well, you're right, that's what
Speaker 2: it was. I should go back two tell you do it.
Speaker 1: Back to the wheel, bro, guess what, go check.
Speaker 3: It out next week. I'm gonna go with Julio today.
Speaker 3: Give me Julio jump start a little streak here. God,
Speaker 3: if I just went with Harper yesterday, I could be
Speaker 3: closing in.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you the odds, the bookmakers odds of Joey
Speaker 3: being gone before I make the board. That thing has
Speaker 3: gone to big negative money. Joe's gonna be gone before
Speaker 3: I get on that board. It's just there's nothing else
Speaker 3: we can do about it.
Speaker 1: It's a race to the finish. Uh. Some people think
Speaker 1: that you're right that the opening every day is too much.
Speaker 1: It's forty seconds, it's forty second.
Speaker 3: But it's like a very specific song, like like I
Speaker 3: think it should be whatever.
Speaker 1: Happened to predictability, The newsman, the paper boy, evening TV.
Speaker 2: Those are all dead, all those things.
Speaker 1: Everywhere you look, there's a heart. I'm here to hold on.
Speaker 2: You're doing a song that I don't know.
Speaker 1: Everywhere you look when you're lost out everywhere all alone, Yeah,
Speaker 1: d d home exactly. Look all you did was smile
Speaker 1: the entire time, And every time you had to watch
Speaker 1: Bob zaggont on Full House, you had to watch that
Speaker 1: intro first. And you know what, Now, I'm gonna play
Speaker 1: it every single day. I think what we do as
Speaker 1: I'm around, we're playing that every you.
Speaker 2: Do one of two things.
Speaker 3: You treat it in a very like CBS Friday Friday
Speaker 3: like they do, or the Brandon of the Jet Joe
Speaker 3: will be gone for twenty.
Speaker 1: Look this elbow's fine, elbows working. Look at this. Look
Speaker 1: at the elbow. It's good. Perfect.
Speaker 3: We do a game of Thronesy type of version. Maybe,
Speaker 3: like a break we just lean into the TV versions.
Speaker 2: That'll help.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do like a super Mario Brothers one year,
Speaker 1: we do video, you know, maybe we let the Peanuts
Speaker 1: and Crackerjacks vote on the twenty twenty fourth Sea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you, I mean who better than me and
Speaker 1: you for Mario and Luigi costumes? I mean script rights itself.
Speaker 2: Right, like a break one.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I guess so you Jesse and I'm I'm the
Speaker 1: bald guy. So I got a girl.
Speaker 2: Now, you'd be a better Gus.
Speaker 3: I should, I should be Walt and you should be
Speaker 3: Gus for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 1: can watch that first episode of the WCW thing, So
Speaker 1: there you go. Okay, Well, and by the way, I
Speaker 1: did have John Stamo's quality hair in high school. I did.
