Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by Honda. When you
Speaker 1: test her off to all the electric Prologue SUV, there's
Speaker 1: a lot that can impress you about it. There's the
Speaker 1: generous passenger space, the clean, thoughtful design, and the intuitive technology.
Speaker 1: But out of everything, what you really love most is
Speaker 1: that it's a Honda. Visit Honda dot Com slash EV
Speaker 1: two see offers.
Speaker 2: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy pros MLB. This is leading
Speaker 2: off Lives, the Joey P joe P Zapia and with me,
Speaker 2: of course is the Welsh and it's all of you
Speaker 2: hanging out here, the Peanuts and the Crackerjacks talking baseball.
Speaker 2: We've got another injury in the Phillies rotation we're gonna
Speaker 2: get to today. Yikes, that's not good. And of course
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be a baseball season without a Corey Seeger injury.
Speaker 2: But Welsh, I think we got to start at the top,
Speaker 2: which is the Padres, Michael Calli's padres, the class of
Speaker 2: baseball at the tippy top of the West. And Nick
Speaker 2: Pavetta argue the best guy in the rotation? Are we
Speaker 2: in the upside down?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean Michael King is still there. But to
Speaker 3: your point, well, you know, actually more to your credit,
Speaker 3: Nick Pivetta, I looked at some of the early CYM
Speaker 3: stuff that's going out there. Nick Pavetta is in that
Speaker 3: top three I think for Siung Awards in the NL
Speaker 3: still crazy crazy early, but total total benefit later in
Speaker 3: fantasy drafts that you got big strikeouts, ERA is super low,
Speaker 3: expected ERA is under three. He looks phenomenal. What good
Speaker 3: one two punch of Michael King and him and Paveta.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a question though, is Pavetta is in
Speaker 3: that trade market? He falls under the lines for me
Speaker 3: of one of those dudes, It's like, what would you
Speaker 3: get that's worth trading him instead of holding on? So,
Speaker 3: I don't know where do you feel about that?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's Rick Porcello. I don't think
Speaker 2: we're there. So Rick Porcello was had a lot of issues,
Speaker 2: the low K rate, all of those things. Actually, Walsh,
Speaker 2: I'm looking on FANDLE right now and Paveta is plus
Speaker 2: thirty four hundred for NLCIM So.
Speaker 3: I just saw, you know what it was. I don't
Speaker 3: think it was the betting market. I think it was
Speaker 3: like the actual market of early cy young favorites, and
Speaker 3: Nick Pavetta is in that like top five in the
Speaker 3: NL right now, which is very skew. You know, that
Speaker 3: whole market is shute when you look at real baseball.
Speaker 3: But Paveta, I think it's a long run. I'm personally
Speaker 3: probably not betting it, but from a fantasy perspective, he's great. So,
Speaker 3: like I said, what's the where are you at on that?
Speaker 3: Do you think the juice is worth the squeeze or
Speaker 3: you just hold for Paveta?
Speaker 2: Look, is he going to have a one to two
Speaker 2: zero era the rest of season? Probably not. He gave
Speaker 2: up just a pair of singles over seven innings. Shutout
Speaker 2: innings by the way against the Tigers, He's four and one.
Speaker 2: Strikeout rate's been good. Everything's been great for Paveta. I
Speaker 2: think this is one of those instances where you drafted
Speaker 2: him late. He is such a win for you. You
Speaker 2: just ride the wave because probably nobody's going to overpay,
Speaker 2: nobody's going to give crazy value to you. So he's
Speaker 2: most valuable to the team that took a shot on
Speaker 2: him late. And now it's it's something where we might
Speaker 2: look back and say, Nick that it could be a
Speaker 2: league winner. Also, the League winner. Whoever is our one
Speaker 2: hundredth sub today, because we are very close to number
Speaker 2: one hundred, so now is the time subscribe. We just

Speaker 2: taking your questions at four pm Eastern. So if you

Speaker 2: on there, and of course we're trying to get to
Speaker 2: you know, someday be the biggest YouTube channel in the
Speaker 2: history of baseball. And I think we can do it.
Speaker 2: I think we've got the team to do it. Here,
Speaker 2: let's talk about some bounce back, some guys that are
Speaker 2: showing some signs of life and patients might just be rewarded.
Speaker 2: Dylan CRU's third home run on Tuesday off Dean Kremer,
Speaker 2: because well, the Orioles pitching staff sucks. Now, we still
Speaker 2: hitting a buck ninety eight. But if you look at
Speaker 2: the savon page, Welsh too eighty seven expected batting average
Speaker 2: a four to ninety five expected slug. I know some
Speaker 2: of these numbers came recently. He started to uptick against
Speaker 2: the Rockies. But still it looks like a good upward
Speaker 2: trajectory for Dylan Cruz right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think actually you might have undersold him a
Speaker 3: little bit. So two eighty five expected batting average unless
Speaker 3: you said that and I just misheard it.
Speaker 2: But five I said to eighty seven, So oh did jockey.
Speaker 3: I'm well, I've just told him. Yeah, yeah, I'm picking
Speaker 3: then a little bit. But yeah, great barrel percentage. He's
Speaker 3: hitting the ball harder than.
Speaker 2: He did last. Tony, hold on, hold on number one hundred.
Speaker 2: We got it, Stony, way to go, Thanks Tony. There
Speaker 2: you go go ahead. Now you can talk about Dylan Cruz.
Speaker 3: Our boy Stony in there and then our boy leafer
Speaker 3: giving out leaf for the leader of the packing gifted
Speaker 3: sub shout out to you guys for doing that hitting
Speaker 3: one hundred. Bam bam, thank you. Getting back to whoever.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Dylan Cruz, great barrel, hitting the ball hard.
Speaker 3: Expected batting average is way up. He's lowered the strikeout rate,
Speaker 3: which was key. All this is just coming back to
Speaker 3: is like a testament to rookies and how long they
Speaker 3: can sometimes take. It's also investment stuff, you know, like
Speaker 3: we got to the point a week ago where it's
Speaker 3: like a ten man league, maybe you could move off,
Speaker 3: but it's like the talent kind of battles through and
Speaker 3: he's going to get those leadoff opportunities. It would be
Speaker 3: really we're seeing the stolen bases go up. It's going
Speaker 3: to be nice if that continues to go. We're kind
Speaker 3: of back into that draft capital where I was putting
Speaker 3: him on that pedestal of like, hey, listen, you got
Speaker 3: to draft him. He's a great outfielder three or four.
Speaker 3: But you got to have some patience with your fantasy players,
Speaker 3: or you've got to figure out how you can do
Speaker 3: roster construction where if you invested a top one hundred
Speaker 3: ish pick on a player, that you can give them
Speaker 3: roughly three weeks. And that's what you needed to do
Speaker 3: with Dylan Cruz if you you can. I think ten
Speaker 3: man leagues are the ones that probably would have kind
Speaker 3: of suffered from it at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: Well, it's funny you say the ten man because okay,
Speaker 2: in our fantasy pros ten man league, ten person league,
Speaker 2: because we've got our female employees in there as well.
Speaker 2: Ten person league. We have Dylan Cruz on the waiver
Speaker 2: wire and gets to pick him up this morning. This guy, oh,
Speaker 2: he was available, He was available in the waiver wire,
Speaker 2: and I said, you know what, let's pick up Dylan
Speaker 2: Cruz and see where it goes from here. So in
Speaker 2: those shallower leagues, guys might be available. Also. Tristan Cassas,
Speaker 2: he had a good day yesterday, three run homer for
Speaker 2: him against the Mariners. Gotta love those Mariners. One of
Speaker 2: the Mariners ever are gonna be consistently good. I feel
Speaker 2: bad for the Mariner fans. I feel like they've been
Speaker 2: teased over the years with these little sporadic moments where
Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, maybe the Mariners can do it. Maybe
Speaker 2: this is the year. I don't know, man, it's tough
Speaker 2: to be a Mariner fan. A Tanner Biby held the
Speaker 2: Yankees down to two runs over six innings. Now, yesterday
Speaker 2: we're talking about being afraid to start him. If you
Speaker 2: started him, you got rewarded the fastball.
Speaker 3: You were afraid to start him.
Speaker 2: I was afraid. I was. I was terrified at first.
Speaker 2: I was afraid. I was. I was petrified, but you
Speaker 2: had your tander Biby, Yeah, I did. I had you
Speaker 2: by my side. So it worked out Fastball mile per
Speaker 2: hour was up though ninety five point five. I was
Speaker 2: up by almost a full mile per hour. That's also
Speaker 2: a good sign for Bibby. So you're buying in now
Speaker 2: that people can stop panicking about Tanner Bobby.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think the panic like still exists,
Speaker 3: but it was a really good performance. He's giving up
Speaker 3: way way too much contact thirteen percent of r right,
Speaker 3: that's one of the worst out there. Low strikeouts expected
Speaker 3: era came down a tiny bit. That was a good
Speaker 3: start to it. So if he's available in ten man leagues,
Speaker 3: which I know some people were cutting, you could definitely
Speaker 3: pick him up. I'm not sure if he's still like
Speaker 3: a buye for me. You know, Ober and Bailey Biby
Speaker 3: weren't like my guys and they've had like early struggles on.
Speaker 3: But if people are completely out there might not be
Speaker 3: like a horrible opportunity. And by the way, shout out
Speaker 3: to our boy mctunda. Five gifted subs were over one hundred.
Speaker 3: Just you guys, hanging out and following us on Twitch.
Speaker 3: You can get those free gifted subs by these guys.
Speaker 3: And now mctundah is at the tippy top of the
Speaker 3: board for our gifted So shout out to this awesome
Speaker 3: Twitch crew.
Speaker 2: Mctnda's good people. We talked to him on our discord
Speaker 2: all the time. Let's get to Magnum's question. Hey, if
Speaker 2: he's longtime listener, first time liver, that's what we love.
Speaker 2: We love the first time livers. Here ten team head
Speaker 2: to head obpcats, I drafted Vlad, picked up Ronda, Manzarto
Speaker 2: and Kurtz, but need a shortstop. Should I deal Vlad
Speaker 2: for a premium shore stop or try to deal with
Speaker 2: someone else as a package. I think what you do here,
Speaker 2: to be honest with you, I would keep Vlad because
Speaker 2: that's the proven asset. I think Manzardo has some interesting
Speaker 2: trade value, and I think Kurtz's value is very high
Speaker 2: right now, and you don't need Kurts if you have Lad.
Speaker 2: It's not that I don't like Kurts, a big Kurtz fan,
Speaker 2: but we don't know what he's going to do at
Speaker 2: the major league level right now. Today it's Nick Kurt's day.
Speaker 2: Everybody so happy.
Speaker 3: He didn't do it on the birthday.
Speaker 2: I I didn't do it on the birthday. It was
Speaker 2: kind of lame, But I think that's I think you
Speaker 2: can get more for the expectations and the projectability of
Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz, and then you might realize that's the route
Speaker 2: I would take first.
Speaker 3: Well, I would agree with I would agree with that.
Speaker 3: The only thing is I don't think. I don't agree
Speaker 3: that com Menzardo has good trade value r And I
Speaker 3: think he's the lowest of all of them. I think
Speaker 3: Roanda has incredible trade value, but I keep being like,
Speaker 3: I want to trade Ronda, and then I look at
Speaker 3: his profile and I'm like, good lord, I don't know
Speaker 3: if you can, but Kurtz's trade value in that situation
Speaker 3: would probably be the best. Can I put in a question.
Speaker 3: I wanted to do this with Cruz, but you just
Speaker 3: went right past it. Someone had said, I thought this
Speaker 3: was a really good question by Laser and Blazer Luis
Speaker 3: Roberts or Dylan Cruz at this point, because we're still
Speaker 3: both in the Pilo territory. But Cruz is the one
Speaker 3: that's pulling around. I don't know if it's Sally, you
Speaker 3: guys can pull it up. But Laser's question, Roberts or Cruise.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe I'm just a sucker here, but I
Speaker 2: still say Robert. But I feel I'm getting I'm worried
Speaker 2: about that. And we had another Robert question here. Someone
Speaker 2: dropped Louise Robert in my league? Do I pick him up?
Speaker 2: I already have Butler, Casti, Janos, Cherio, Judge Woods. You
Speaker 2: don't need him until he spot as Schwarber, so there's
Speaker 2: no room at the D. But as an asset, I'd
Speaker 2: want to add him. I think you look at it
Speaker 2: this way. I think Robert. I still think he finds
Speaker 2: his way back there. He just have no line of
Speaker 2: protection there at all. That's that's a huge problem, and
Speaker 2: well it's going to get suffering.
Speaker 3: I would rather have Robert.
Speaker 2: I would rather have so. But would you rather have
Speaker 2: Robert or Cruz? You'd rather have Cruz.
Speaker 3: I think I would rather have Cruse right now, because
Speaker 3: one of the big boosts of Robert is that he's
Speaker 3: going to some stolen bases and blah blah blah. But
Speaker 3: Dylan Cruz I think can hit for a higher average,
Speaker 3: and he's showing that, and he's expected. It's in the
Speaker 3: two eighties. He's stealing bases, he's hitting homers, he's gonna
Speaker 3: score runs. The pendulum might swing a little bit. If
Speaker 3: Robert were to be traded to like a Braves team
Speaker 3: and we're like, oh my god, he's at you know
Speaker 3: five for the Braves and there's all these guys or
Speaker 3: you know whatever it is, the Dodgers, I would just
Speaker 3: want both of those guys. Like it's just it's too early.
Speaker 3: Cruise is a good like litmus test of it's a
Speaker 3: little too early to just completely cut bait here, and
Speaker 3: I think cutting bait on Robert is not my bag.
Speaker 3: I would find a way to get him on the bench.
Speaker 3: So if he's available, I'm picking him up. I'm not
Speaker 3: trying to trade him away for nothing, and I would
Speaker 3: love to buy him for absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2: Stoney's ad Gavin Williams was dropped into twelve team Pro League.
Speaker 2: Why should I let Tyler Anderson pitch tomorrow then dropping
Speaker 2: for Gavin Williams. No, I would just go pick up
Speaker 2: Gavin Williams now wellf for someone else? Does I? Wayton?
Speaker 2: I ain't waiting. Besides some of those signs of life. Also,
Speaker 2: Marcus Simeon two for three with a homer. Four Rabies
Speaker 2: got dropped in the orders in a five spot and
Speaker 2: it worked. Jake Berger hit a home run. Signs of
Speaker 2: live that, you know. The antidote, well is just get
Speaker 2: to the Sacramento Ballpark. Yeah, just get the Sacramento whya
Speaker 2: at Langford return three for four, good day for him
Speaker 2: as well. So all of a sudden signs of life
Speaker 2: for that Ranger line up.
Speaker 3: And shout out to the plus money first five play
Speaker 3: of the Texas Rangers yesterday backing Patrick Corbin I had
Speaker 3: and all these dudes just started bang, bang bang going.
Speaker 3: And this is a little test or testament to, you know,
Speaker 3: some of those underlying metrics that we're looking at and
Speaker 3: then expected stats and combining those and being like, hey, listen,
Speaker 3: you know Doulas Garcia early on was a by Marcus
Speaker 3: sim and Jake Berger starting to kind of come back.
Speaker 3: Both of those guys were pretty like easy clear bys
Speaker 3: and they're just starting. Burger's a little rougher around the
Speaker 3: edges right now, but there they're starting to get going.
Speaker 2: Chris Bubich at a royal pain because he was awesome yesterday.
Speaker 2: Tough luck, no decision against the Rockies Tuesday night. He
Speaker 2: had six strikeouts, seven innings, zero runs is he raised
Speaker 2: out one four five, which is of course not sustainable
Speaker 2: with the one oh six whip, thirty three strikeouts, just
Speaker 2: nine walks over thirty one innings. Bot Carlos Stevez blew
Speaker 2: the second save of the season, So keep an eye
Speaker 2: on that situation. Also keep an eye on those New
Speaker 2: York Mets who just beat the Phillies again. Somebody's in
Speaker 2: your kitchen, Philadelphia. Somebody's gonna have to go to huah
Speaker 2: wah and get some iced tea and some Hogies and
Speaker 2: cry a little bit and get over this, because all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the Mets just kind of own the
Speaker 2: Phillies lately after the playoffs. I don't know, man, they
Speaker 2: look kind of shook. It's crazy. Griffin Canning, good star
Speaker 2: for him, he's el Rai's down to three to one
Speaker 2: two on the year. He's three and one on the season.
Speaker 2: Also in bullpen news, now, Kate Smith pitched yesterday again
Speaker 2: in a same situation. Now, I understand class threw a
Speaker 2: lot of pitches, but this is now two in a row. Well,
Speaker 2: you surprised we got two Kate Smith appearances in that
Speaker 2: closer role or is it just still well he threw
Speaker 2: thirty pitches, we're getting him a couple days off.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I know you're the very antie. I
Speaker 3: got some I got some texts about that song, like
Speaker 3: Joey was very like, hey, it's April twenty second? Is
Speaker 3: not good? Should we be waking out?
Speaker 2: Absolutely say, I never said that. I just am like
Speaker 2: Roddy Piper. I asked the questions here on Piper's pit.
Speaker 2: That's all I do. Everybody else can fill in the
Speaker 2: blanks however they want.
Speaker 3: They said, he just want They wanted to give him
Speaker 3: back to back days off. It just so happened to
Speaker 3: be that there were save opportunities in both of those.
Speaker 3: It's a little banged up, there's a little shoulder discomfort.
Speaker 3: None of that's great. So but again, like, what's the
Speaker 3: application is it to go and trade Class A right now?
Speaker 2: And no, no, no, no no no. But I think
Speaker 2: if you are in a fifteen team league and Kate
Speaker 2: Smith is on the waiver wire, yeah, I'm sure. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because that shoulder issue.
Speaker 3: Speculative save market, you should have made an investment on
Speaker 3: Vest and will Vest who just got a couple saves.
Speaker 3: You should be looking at Lucas Erseg after Carlos Estevez. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you should be like heavy in the market of who
Speaker 3: got a save and who's on the precipice and is
Speaker 3: anyone else struggling. Kate Smith a hundred percent would belong
Speaker 3: to that, but it's like who are you? Who are
Speaker 3: you throwing out? Who you're getting thinking?
Speaker 2: I'm so proud of our penis and crackerjacks because the
Speaker 2: YouTube comments were full of Simpson's references yesterday, So thank
Speaker 2: you for supporting the show. We love you very much.
Speaker 2: You know this isn't on the show sheet, but I
Speaker 2: was just reading about this. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: saw this because we didn't mention it yesterday, but the
Speaker 2: whole rond Akunya snicker stuff, you know how that's kind
Speaker 2: of in a bass. But did you see the Frank
Speaker 2: Corer comments? Did you see those? No?
Speaker 3: I only saw the tweet from.
Speaker 2: So Jeff. Frank Corr said, well, you know, I'm paraphrasing,
Speaker 2: semi quoting, but basically was, well, you know, we won
Speaker 2: a World Series without Ronald Acunya, so it's not like
Speaker 2: you need Ronald of Cooni to win. And I just
Speaker 2: went yikes. I don't know if that's what I want
Speaker 2: coming out of my mouth right now. I don't think
Speaker 2: that's a smart thing to say on that team. I
Speaker 2: want to say Freddy Freeman was still on that team though,
Speaker 2: and a few other guys that aren't there, Max Freed.
Speaker 2: Those guys are all gone now.
Speaker 3: I don't say, but that's a player thing, that's a
Speaker 3: super player thing, like players get sick of players that
Speaker 3: want to suck up all this space. Like that doesn't
Speaker 3: actually really surprise me. He would say something.
Speaker 2: Well. I think Ronal Cooney's point is if I did
Speaker 2: what Keilna did, I would go I would have gotten benched.
Speaker 2: And I think he's right.
Speaker 3: I don't disagree.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's right.
Speaker 3: Jeffrank Cor probably doesn't have a relationship at all with
Speaker 3: a Kunya, and when that happens, these guys are very
Speaker 3: comfortable trashing and breaking down and tearing down any of
Speaker 3: the players that they might perceive as being different than
Speaker 3: how they would approach the game. So, Jeff frank core right.
Speaker 2: Here's a question here, Van Rod trade Burns for sale?
Speaker 2: Straight up? You want to make this move? What do
Speaker 2: you want rest of the season?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did too. I like Burns, and I kind
Speaker 3: of think buying Burns is a good opportunity. But if
Speaker 3: Burns will get you saleed.
Speaker 2: Do it. Yeah. Else here I got off for the
Speaker 2: trade Skeens, and I assume James Wood not James Woods.
Speaker 2: Is that you're talking? Why why do.
Speaker 3: We do Candy Pisa.
Speaker 2: For Gore and Jordan Alvarez? Which side of this do
Speaker 2: you want?
Speaker 3: This is at so easily want the Skeens and James
Speaker 3: wood side or James Woods.
Speaker 2: Well, just James Wood. You don't want the James Wood sign.
Speaker 2: I would say this too. I've got more questions the
Speaker 2: last twenty four hours about your Alvarez than anybody really, like,
Speaker 2: just people peppering me, which means he should be somebody
Speaker 2: you're kicking the tires on right now.
Speaker 3: People are it's all panic, like everyone's just like losing
Speaker 3: their mind because he's hitting two thirteen.

Speaker 2: rookie looking Knick Kurtz did not play yesterday. Boo. I
Speaker 2: was against a lefty, so I don't know if that was.
Speaker 2: I don't know what was going on there was. It
Speaker 2: was a roster. So here's what it was. There's there's
Speaker 2: two pieces of information we got out of this. A
Speaker 2: they said they didn't want to plan because they wanted
Speaker 2: him to get acclimated. So they wanted him to be
Speaker 2: in the majors. They wanted him to acclimate to the team,
Speaker 2: acclimate to the atmosphere. But people were like, but it's
Speaker 2: a lefty. But here's what they said. They said he
Speaker 2: will not be a platoon player. They already told us
Speaker 2: he will be in everything. They said that, But it.
Speaker 3: Had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 2: I know, Patrick Corby's a superhllod.
Speaker 3: It literally had to do with this acclamation of you
Speaker 3: brought up. He was drafted less than a year ago.
Speaker 2: Bro, what is this orientation?
Speaker 3: They treated it like that. Yes, well, get.
Speaker 2: Some free snacks and this charcuterie board out. It's orientation day.
Speaker 2: You get some free stuff and take a tour, take
Speaker 2: a tour of the batting cages, you know, maybe you know,
Speaker 2: meet and greet a little bit, you know, get some autographs.
Speaker 3: On what are you offended by him? This is professional
Speaker 3: base and they wanted him to like learn how to
Speaker 3: He doesn't know how to be a professional.
Speaker 2: So in one day as all, it took one day off.
Speaker 2: He's a professional.
Speaker 3: I mean he was also it also was a lefty
Speaker 3: like they're gonna talk out of both sides of their mouth.
Speaker 3: So it's like we're not gonna stand against and it's like, well,
Speaker 3: it is a veteran lefty who's starting here against the Rangers.
Speaker 2: Let him sit. D wait, bring back Tom's comment, Please,
Speaker 2: I want to read the game. Kurt's waiting for his
Speaker 2: arrange slices. Yes, that's exactly what's happening here. Hey, Nikki,
Speaker 2: I don't want you to be scared of all the
Speaker 2: big ballpark and all the people. They're your friends, Nikki.
Speaker 2: They're here to cheer for you. It's gonna be a
Speaker 2: fun day.
Speaker 1: Come on.
Speaker 2: I think today he's gonna get his rug out. He's
Speaker 2: gonna sit there and uh, Brent Rooker is gonna have
Speaker 2: story time for him. It's gonna be awesome your professional
Speaker 2: baseball players. Can you imagine the coddling in the eighties?
Speaker 2: If this is I mean, what.
Speaker 3: What you're on? Just an old man? That's right now?
Speaker 3: My day we have a torpedo match.
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? You know we haven't done
Speaker 2: this once all year, but this is. Hey, what the
Speaker 2: hell's going on here? Understand me? First day? It's cool.
Speaker 2: You gotta take it easy on everybody. Oh hey, I
Speaker 2: heard Nick Kurtz like the crust cut off of his sandwiches.
Speaker 2: That's what I used to Oh you want a juice box? Eh,
Speaker 2: You get out there and you play Nick Kurts. That's
Speaker 2: what you do. You go out there and you play
Speaker 2: what is this? Real? Men eat the crusts off there sandwiches. Yeah,
Speaker 2: bum your boom is a big one. Old people love
Speaker 2: seeing you. But my grandfather used to call people.
Speaker 3: Bump all the time like that, defensive to bums.
Speaker 2: But you know, do they have internet? Probably not? All right,
Speaker 2: let's get to more rookie lookies. Augustine Ramirez. Another good
Speaker 2: day for him, three for three RBI, double a walk,
Speaker 2: so he clean up yesterday. Welsh exciting stuff that.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna change anytime soon. We're not
Speaker 3: going to victory lap. We're not victory lapping, of course,
Speaker 3: but we can definitely do a little. I told you
Speaker 3: so you should be paying attention when we talked about
Speaker 3: him a couple of weeks ago. It looks great early on.
Speaker 3: Things are gonna come back down, but he's what did
Speaker 3: I say? He does well? He hits the ball really
Speaker 3: hard in the miners, he's hitded I watched Hi. Things
Speaker 3: are going to come back down a little bit, but
Speaker 3: you're seeing he tried to steal another base. He got caught,
Speaker 3: but he's aggressive on the base paths. He's showing some
Speaker 3: real big power. He actually might push a little bit
Speaker 3: for like a fifteen man single catcher at this point,
Speaker 3: like you're kind of making a big investment. But if
Speaker 3: you're like on the bottom end of catchers, like guess what,
Speaker 3: I would probably be comfortable dropping a Gabby Moreno, who
Speaker 3: doesn't do anything.
Speaker 2: Would you drop Wells for him? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I literally want your question like six times to me.
Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't make it sick.
Speaker 3: I probably would not, but like I get it, I
Speaker 3: get it. And someone said, Francisco Alvarez or Ramirez Alvarez
Speaker 3: is coming back on Friday.
Speaker 2: I'd rather have him Alvarez. That's not even close. Man. Uh,
Speaker 2: that guy is a pre I think people somehow forget
Speaker 2: because last year was kind of underwhelming. How good of
Speaker 2: a hitting prospect. Francisco Alvarez was loves to get her
Speaker 2: minor leagues.
Speaker 3: His favorite thing. I wish I had some glasses.
Speaker 2: I don't sure. By man who played with one leg,
Speaker 2: I remember it. He ran into a sprinkler and next
Speaker 2: thing you know.
Speaker 3: He was players not playing. Before that, they played the games,
Speaker 3: they got out there, they had to broke a leg.
Speaker 3: If we tape it on and they get out there
Speaker 3: and they play and they shoot.
Speaker 2: Up some steroids.
Speaker 3: They have a beard, some fried chicken in the in
Speaker 3: the dug out date.
Speaker 2: Why are you like an old Southern man? I feel
Speaker 2: like you're like old You're like a weird twang. It's
Speaker 2: like or a Western You're like a Western character. There
Speaker 2: cookie jobs. I end up in a spot where I
Speaker 2: have too many bats. Okay, that's a problem. What starry
Speaker 2: picture do you think I could move on from? For them?
Speaker 2: Which do you move? So you got Vini P, Burger
Speaker 2: and Kurtz and Manzarto. Well, VINTP has not been good,
Speaker 2: Burger's values at an all time low. Manzardo has been good.
Speaker 2: I think Manzarto's values is higher than Welsh, but we
Speaker 2: disagree on that. And then Kurts obviously is the chip.
Speaker 2: That's the chip right now. I think Vinnie pest Gentino
Speaker 2: has some bi low appeal to some other people, though
Speaker 2: that I would.
Speaker 3: Say this is probably ends up being one of those.
Speaker 3: You got to see what the offers are. Man's already
Speaker 3: probably got a kick to the curb. I don't think
Speaker 3: he does much. I don't think Burger gets you much.
Speaker 3: So it's probably Vinnie P.
Speaker 2: Kurtz.
Speaker 3: See what it looks like you know what, am min
Speaker 3: all suck and maybe you should wait a little bit.
Speaker 3: But as me and Joe were saying, like, probably Kurtz
Speaker 3: is at that all time high right now, you know,
Speaker 3: and until he said, well, I don't know, he's getting coddled.
Speaker 3: So maybe you're gonna be like Joe and not be
Speaker 3: super into him. But see what the offer looks like
Speaker 3: and see if someone will massively overpay. Otherwise I probably
Speaker 3: would wait it out a tiny bit because I think
Speaker 3: Vinnie will bounce back in like two weeks. You might
Speaker 3: have three really sought after first, Baseman, and that gives
Speaker 3: you a little bit more little trade equity.
Speaker 2: Good point. Chandler Simpson went two for four with a
Speaker 2: stolen based ching with the big bet yesterday here on
Speaker 2: the program Red Sox, and you get plus money on
Speaker 2: it today more to come stay with us. Red Sox
Speaker 2: prospect Marcelo mayor not to be confused with Mike mahor
Speaker 2: one is great mayor the other not so much, or
Speaker 2: Max Meyer or any of those guys. So another two
Speaker 2: run Homer for him. The Orioles manager, brand High, said
Speaker 2: Brandon Young, whose name I screwed up on the show
Speaker 2: the other day is a can start again this weekend.
Speaker 2: I told you he's coming up again. So if you're
Speaker 2: looking for streaming starters, maybe Brandon Young is a guy
Speaker 2: to look at. Jack kagleon had two hits off Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 2: I thought that was noteworthy. I wanted to bring this
Speaker 2: up because I saw they were running that on MLB
Speaker 2: network Kershaw's little rehabs start, and I said, oh, Jack
Speaker 2: kagleone tough left handed pitcher. Guy's gone to the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame. Sure he's not what he was, he's on
Speaker 2: a rehab start, but still could he hit the ball
Speaker 2: off him? The answer is yes, Yeah, rushed.
Speaker 3: The double too, rush double off the left held it
Speaker 3: look really, really good. I am so impressed year over
Speaker 3: year because I've had so many different looks at CAGs
Speaker 3: and how the bat is progressing and all the stuff
Speaker 3: that came with just a bad approach, and it really
Speaker 3: looks like a different player with some of the biggest
Speaker 3: power in the in all of the miners and the majors.
Speaker 3: Just he's going to be so exciting when he's up.
Speaker 3: I just don't know if it's this year.
Speaker 2: I think it might be the end of the year
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. Maybe, but I'm with you, but you
Speaker 2: know me, I'm I'm a KG Leon guy. Jacob Azrowski
Speaker 2: had eight strikeouts, six shout out hittings. So again that
Speaker 2: Brewer's rotation is gonna get real good, real fast over
Speaker 2: the next couple of years. And Padre shorts Up is
Speaker 2: not debuting anytime soon, but he is one of the
Speaker 2: best prospects in baseball. Had a five for five night
Speaker 2: with two homers, eight RBI. Leo Devrees who.
Speaker 3: The cycle he hit for the cycle in that goal.
Speaker 2: He was the cycle RB.
Speaker 3: He hit in that game. It was one of the
Speaker 3: most impressive performances. And I had actually tweeted out after
Speaker 3: he hit the homer because there is another one of
Speaker 3: those guys who you know since day one, been out
Speaker 3: there watching him, and he's had that He's got this
Speaker 3: just really good, kind of like whippy approach. But he's
Speaker 3: starting to get the ball in the air, so he's
Speaker 3: starting to find a level of comfort where he is
Speaker 3: lifting the ball. He started doing that in the AFL
Speaker 3: and I just noted that and then it was like
Speaker 3: after that it was triple. I think he hitded with
Speaker 3: the triple, but he had the double, the single, he
Speaker 3: might have even hit another homer eight RB. I's one
Speaker 3: of the most exciting prospects out there from a dynasty perspective.
Speaker 3: I had him top I've had him top ten even
Speaker 3: though he's super young. He's getting the fast track, kind
Speaker 3: of like Ethan Solace. Both those guys, they're gonna be
Speaker 3: on watch next year, unfortunately, because like the Pajas are
Speaker 3: almost gonna sell off in the preseason, they're sell off
Speaker 3: a rise and they're gonna sell off seas now they're
Speaker 3: just ceased as tem in baseball, So I don't know
Speaker 3: what that looks like for them, but you should own
Speaker 3: Leo devrees uh In definitely any type of dynasty with
Speaker 3: minor leagues.
Speaker 4: Does it ever feel like you're a marketing professional just
Speaker 4: speaking into the void?
Speaker 2: Boy?
Speaker 4: Well, with LinkedIn ads, if you can know you're reaching
Speaker 4: the right decision makers. You can even target buyers by
Speaker 4: job title, industry, company, seniority skills.
Speaker 2: Wait, did I say job title yet?

Speaker 4: void and reach the right buyers with LinkedIn ads. We'll
Speaker 4: even give you a one hundred dollars credit on your
Speaker 4: next campaign. Get started at LinkedIn dot com, slash results,
Speaker 4: terms and conditions apply.
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on from the rookie lookie to
Speaker 2: the three up and the three down. Here Christian Yelich
Speaker 2: two for five with a grand slam. Good night for him.
Speaker 2: Ean Half four for five with a walk off RBI
Speaker 2: single to beat the Dodger is an eleven ten game,
Speaker 2: yaus A twenty one runs in that one, so I
Speaker 2: think it hit the over. And then Aaron Judge four
Speaker 2: for four with a double, one run scored against Cleveland
Speaker 2: yesterday the Downs. Jordan Hicks got pounded for six runs,
Speaker 2: five earned today five strikeouts, but it was a bad
Speaker 2: day for him against the Brew Crew Osvaldo Beato eight runs,
Speaker 2: two strikeouts and five and a third not good for him.
Speaker 2: And Dustin May got lit up there seven runs, ten
Speaker 2: hits over five innings. Which of the bad was the
Speaker 2: worst for you yesterday?
Speaker 3: Like I don't beat I purposely bet against Beido Jordan
Speaker 3: Higg yesterday I've been against. And then I did this
Speaker 3: stream where I kind of looked at some stuff like
Speaker 3: oh this is interesting, and then just bang, bang bang,
Speaker 3: it's Dustin May. The Dustin May one is pretty rough
Speaker 3: because you know we've held him in a really high regard,
Speaker 3: even when we talked about guys like Casey Meies. This
Speaker 3: is a blip. It's probably if anything, what you take
Speaker 3: this as with Dustin May is like, all right, let's
Speaker 3: pay attention moving forward. But I'm gonna treat it as.
Speaker 2: Just a blip. The trade video, by the way, is
Speaker 2: also available right now on the YouTube channel, so go
Speaker 2: watch that doing the Waiver Wire video tomorrow again. Subscribe
Speaker 2: to the YouTube channel to stay ahead of all your
Speaker 2: friends and enemies in front of meies in all of
Speaker 2: your leagues, especially when it comes to injuries too, because
Speaker 2: that'll ruin a season for you. Christopher Sanchez was removed
Speaker 2: Tuesday against the Mets. I watched part of this start.
Speaker 2: We got home from football practice and I flipped on
Speaker 2: the game and he was at fifty seven pitches in
Speaker 2: the second inning, and I was like, geez, that doesn't
Speaker 2: look like the Christopher Sanchez I know. And he was
Speaker 2: definitely laboring, so that's not good. The velocity was down yesterday. Now,
Speaker 2: the good news is Ranger Suarez is in a spot
Speaker 2: where he had five scorelestings yesterday in a minor league
Speaker 2: rehab start, so they're actually lined up properly. So Wels,
Speaker 2: I know you're a Sanchez guy. This has got to
Speaker 2: be a really tough moment here. We're waiting for more
Speaker 2: updates and clarity here, but certainly this was not as.
Speaker 3: A little bit of clarity just a little bit before
Speaker 3: the show where he said he's feeling tremendously better. So
Speaker 3: that's a really good sign that well, No, I mean
Speaker 3: like you could get the aj puk where it's like, hey,
Speaker 3: he's going for seventy four different MRIs, different opinions. It's
Speaker 3: just like, no, he felt good. The diagnosis early on
Speaker 3: felt like it was going to be bad. Bila was down.
Speaker 3: You know, there's been a lot of stress and change
Speaker 3: with him as a pitcher over the last couple of years.
Speaker 3: This year, you know, trying to add that cutter, which,
Speaker 3: by the way, we don't really see that he was throwing,
Speaker 3: unless the unless Baseball savant was designating the slider as
Speaker 3: a cutter, which it probably was, but everything was down
Speaker 3: by a mile prower. He says, he feels really good,
Speaker 3: So fingers crossed. But you know, if we do see
Speaker 3: that right there, second opinion or whatever, then it's just
Speaker 3: that we're done. We're done done. But I don't think
Speaker 3: this is quite like justin Steel Range Yet I'm optimistic
Speaker 3: that he felt a lot better, but this would be
Speaker 3: absolutely brutal. I don't care about like Rangeress war is
Speaker 3: coming back, like losing Chris Sanchez would be.
Speaker 2: Swars is a nice pitch, right, Look, the Phillies are
Speaker 2: an interesting spot here, which brings us to that today's
Speaker 2: Chasing Challenges segment brought to you by Microsoft. Just like
Speaker 2: the athletes who push boundaries and redefine what's possible, business
Speaker 2: decision makers today are turning challenges into opportunity and Microsoft
Speaker 2: meets you where you are with tools and guidance to
Speaker 2: help you make an impact with safe, secure AI solutions.
Speaker 2: So whatever challenges you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the
Speaker 2: expertise to say bring it on. And in this segment,
Speaker 2: we're gonna spotlight the challenges faced by the Philadelphia Phillies
Speaker 2: right now. So the last thing you want here is
Speaker 2: dev Christopher Sanchez have an injured situation where he could
Speaker 2: miss some time or even maybe extended time. Again, he
Speaker 2: says he feels tremendous. We'll see when everything gets checked out.
Speaker 2: You already have Ranger Suarez on the IL Aaron Nola
Speaker 2: hasn't pitched very well. Wheeler has been up and down
Speaker 2: to start the year. Thank goodness for Jesus Lozardo. The
Speaker 2: big question mark is the fifth starter. Well, he's been
Speaker 2: pretty spectacular in this rotation so far for the Phillies.
Speaker 2: But there's just something going on with the Phillies when
Speaker 2: I watch them right now that the spark, the fire
Speaker 2: in this team looks like it's out a little bit.
Speaker 2: Alec Boehm struggling again this year. The Phillies are a
Speaker 2: fiery bunch with a pH and they have been for
Speaker 2: the last couple of years. I think some happened to
Speaker 2: them mentally in that series against the Mets, where they
Speaker 2: had them on the ropes, they couldn't finish them off.
Speaker 2: The next thing, you know, these giant moments with a
Speaker 2: bullpen just handed over wins to the Mets. The Phillies
Speaker 2: look to me like a team that got punched in
Speaker 2: the mouth and is still staggering around and they don't
Speaker 2: look sharp to me at all. Now that could change.
Speaker 2: It's only April, so we're gonna monitor this thing. But
Speaker 2: I'm just saying right now, the Phillies better find their fight,
Speaker 2: and they better find it quickly because Spencer Schreider will
Speaker 2: be back in a few weeks again, and Ronickunya will
Speaker 2: be back in a few weeks, and the Mets are
Speaker 2: already where they are, and the Nets are gonna be plucky.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying the Phillies are in trouble. I'm saying
Speaker 2: the Phillies just don't look like they have the same
Speaker 2: edge that they've had in previous seasons. And that, my friends,
Speaker 2: is today's Chasing Challenges segment. Remember Microsoft AI solutions empower

Speaker 3: One thing I'm gonna add, well, yes, thank you for going.
Speaker 3: You were going right to me because I was gonna
Speaker 3: add something. I'm just trying to get in there. Sometimes
Speaker 3: I'm like, it's like a it's a it's a sport.
Speaker 2: No, it's not Painter time. I heard everybody talk about
Speaker 2: Painter nowhere near Painter time.
Speaker 3: But for me, it's a sport. If I can get
Speaker 3: right in between Joe just going to.
Speaker 2: We're getting paid for this read.
Speaker 3: I wanted you to get there. I just wanted to
Speaker 3: get in right at the end. I to Simmi updates
Speaker 3: on Chris Sanchez. On Chris Sanchez, they said right out
Speaker 3: the shoot there was an expectation of no structural damage
Speaker 3: in his forearm, only tightness. So then this morning he
Speaker 3: says he feels better, and they're also not scheduling an
Speaker 3: MRI because of that. According to the team doctor, he's
Speaker 3: not going to pitch the next start, doesn't look like
Speaker 3: he's gonna go on the I L or maybe they
Speaker 3: do just a quick one for roster construction. But they're
Speaker 3: not even scheduling an MRI because it is just tightness.
Speaker 3: So whatever if people in there, someone in the comments funny,
Speaker 3: they were just like you never have a player say
Speaker 3: like I'm jacked up or whatever. It's like yeah, but
Speaker 3: they also wouldn't speak. So he said he feels good,
Speaker 3: only tightness. Maybe it's tiny, little cyberly for Chris Sanchez,
Speaker 3: little baby one.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I know you're like, you're like Garrett Cole.
Speaker 2: Everything was great with Garrett Cole. When you know everything
Speaker 2: was fine, everything's gonna be fine. I'm sure it's all
Speaker 2: gonna work out well.
Speaker 1: A J.
Speaker 2: Puck, I'm sure it's multiple opinions. I'm sure they're gonna
Speaker 2: be awesome for his Corey Seeger left Tuesday's game. Stop
Speaker 2: me if you heard this one before with hamstring tightness.
Speaker 2: This is why I can't draft Corey Seger every year.
Speaker 2: I just stay away from my head. A couple years
Speaker 2: ago and it was just and he was so good
Speaker 2: when he was on the field, and it was just
Speaker 2: so frustrating when he was not, and I just can't
Speaker 2: do it any more of myself. Blake Snell bullpen session
Speaker 2: today actually, so we'll get you update on that tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Mark Viento's back in the lineup with that groin injury.
Speaker 2: He had a double. He looked good, by the way.
Speaker 2: In that same game, Juan Soto hit a laser at
Speaker 2: second base. He is gonna be breaking out any second
Speaker 2: now because he is hitting lasers right now. It's just
Speaker 2: some bad luck. Brian Beao won run five innings in
Speaker 2: his return and win over the Mariners, and Jack Ly
Speaker 2: dealing with that blister force strikeouts four and two thirds.
Speaker 2: So when do you expect Jack Lighter back for the Rangers. Well,
Speaker 2: after this four and two thirds outing on two, you.
Speaker 3: Can imagine that. I mean, I guess it's more team context.
Speaker 3: I would say, if you can go four and two
Speaker 3: thirds off at this start with not having like a
Speaker 3: major miss time, maybe for the next start, you know,
Speaker 3: so maybe we would get him for I guess it
Speaker 3: would line up to like early next week. Possibly they
Speaker 3: want one more. I would say, either way, it looks
Speaker 3: like at some point next week you would get Jack
Speaker 3: lighter back in the rotation.
Speaker 2: All right, question here from a big danswer. You starting
Speaker 2: par Alta San Francisco. Of course him Frey par Alta
Speaker 2: does not come out of my rotation period. End of
Speaker 2: story Life or Death is Ozzie and Kurtz and overpay
Speaker 2: for Jordan Alvarez.
Speaker 3: So you're trading Albi's and Kurtz for No. I don't
Speaker 3: think that's I don't.
Speaker 2: Think so either, I do it. Would you make that
Speaker 2: trade if you had Alvarez?
Speaker 4: Though?
Speaker 2: I don't think I.
Speaker 3: Would not trade away Alvarez for Ozzi and Kurtz, now,
Speaker 3: not unless it was a keeper of a No, they
Speaker 3: definitely Eve wouldn't do that. What am I saying?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not, No, no context.
Speaker 2: What am I crazy? What's opening here? Like crazy talk? Crazy?
Speaker 2: Michael saw soda strim on your trade video? Yes you did? Uh?
Speaker 2: And again those very specific terms of that soda strim trade.
Speaker 2: What sorting picture do you think you could get for him?
Speaker 2: Could you get Chris sale for him? I don't think
Speaker 2: so with the way sales.
Speaker 3: That's kind of my argument. I keep going with soda
Speaker 3: strom like, I just don't think like where he's at
Speaker 3: and what he's looking like as a pitcher or as
Speaker 3: a hitter. Could you get the line up? Maybe? You know,
Speaker 3: that would be one that I think is kind of interesting,
Speaker 3: But I don't know. That's a very question. What can
Speaker 3: you get for him? He's a weird one, mister grinch.
Speaker 3: It's all gonna be about your league. It's you're gonna
Speaker 3: have to tell us what it is. We can't tell you.
Speaker 3: I can tell you what I'm not gonna do. I
Speaker 3: think Joe's a tiny bit more open to it. I'm
Speaker 3: going to be a real pain in the ass if
Speaker 3: I'm trading away my soda strim, so I'm probably not
Speaker 3: getting something done. So it's a very league context you
Speaker 3: for a guy like Serm. Everyone's gonna want you to
Speaker 3: take You know, Ryns Wars is calling back. You know
Speaker 3: he's pretty good, right Like they're going to try to
Speaker 3: sell you on that. No one's gonna want to pay
Speaker 3: up for it. And I think that's what you should do.
Speaker 3: If you're selling a soda STRM.
Speaker 2: You know what should do. Play some bets. It's times
Speaker 2: for the best bets of today. That's right with Joey
Speaker 2: P and the Welsh. Let's look at Chandler Simpson again.
Speaker 2: At plus money for stone bases. This is like stealing money.
Speaker 2: Do it again. This is what we're doing. Brent Rooker
Speaker 2: driving a run. I'm just going all in here on
Speaker 2: the Athletics and the Rangers again because Joey P likes
Speaker 2: this ballpark. Brent Rooker RBI plus one sixty five, White
Speaker 2: Langford back healthy, swinging a good bat, big night yesterday.
Speaker 2: Let's have a big one today to RBI plus one
Speaker 2: thirty five. But the Simpson one. Look Simpson once again.
Speaker 2: I just feel like we're in a spot where when
Speaker 2: there's plus money on this with this guy, you're just
Speaker 2: gonna keep taking it until the books figure it out. Welsh,
Speaker 2: you're gonna start with Miami and Cincinnati today for your bets.
Speaker 3: Probably you're loving those RBI bets right now.
Speaker 2: I dig it plus money. Well, do you think about
Speaker 2: this way right? Good players are gonna drive in around
Speaker 2: one hundred runs. You play one hundred and fifty something games.
Speaker 2: Usually for these guys they sit a couple. It's pretty
Speaker 2: good ratio. That's two thirds of the time there's a
Speaker 2: ting for an RBI plus money.
Speaker 3: I like those odds sixty percent of the time. It works.
Speaker 3: It works every time.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: I'm going with yes, I'm going with the no run
Speaker 3: first inning pretty quick here off of Miami in Cincinnati.
Speaker 3: This is just backing Sandy al Contra and Brady Singer.
Speaker 3: Brady Singer a little bit more of a ground ball pitcher, Sandy,
Speaker 3: you can do the same thing. Both these teams are
Speaker 3: bottom fifteen and run score through the first inning. There's
Speaker 3: obviously some inherent risk, but I really like this one
Speaker 3: as far as no runs. If you want to play that.
Speaker 3: We talked a lot about the Phillies, the Mets having
Speaker 3: the number. Well, Zach Wheeler is on the mound today.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go first five Philly money line, little juicy,
Speaker 3: but I really like the prospects of Zach Wheeler out there. Frankly,
Speaker 3: you might even be able to you got a lefty
Speaker 3: on for the Mets in Peterson, you might even be
Speaker 3: able to play more of an under through the first five.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with Philly on the money line.
Speaker 3: So if they're tied, I push. If Philly is up,
Speaker 3: I win. That's the name of the game. I win,
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna go with Edward O. Rodriguez five and
Speaker 3: a half strikeouts. It is plus money. It is not
Speaker 3: plus one forty. It is plus one ten Plus one
Speaker 3: forty would be awesome. But maybe there are some books,
Speaker 3: maybe even fandle you can go and check out when
Speaker 3: you use our code. But Edward Rodriguez has been lighting
Speaker 3: up some big strikeout games. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 3: he went up against his last start was up against
Speaker 3: the Marlins. He struck out nine. I believe it was
Speaker 3: twelve and nine in his last two starts, and he
Speaker 3: has been pretty dang dominant as far as strikeouts go
Speaker 3: against lefties. Razor at the bottom of ops versus they're
Speaker 3: one of the worst of a little over a twenty
Speaker 3: five percent K percentage versus lefties right now, So it's
Speaker 3: a pretty decent one. We're going over because yes it
Speaker 3: is also over. I see that that's not listed on there.
Speaker 3: Over five and a half strikeouts for EDWARDO Rodriguez against
Speaker 3: the Rays.
Speaker 2: Here you go overbuddy, and don't forget. If you like
Speaker 2: some free money there go to you. Fantasy ros dot

Speaker 2: to tell me. She she knows the facts there. I
Speaker 2: want to say it's two. It might be three home runs,

Speaker 3: Your board, and guess what we'll do.
Speaker 2: I can't win the Sosa Jersey anyway, because I work here,
Speaker 2: so I'm not allowed to win it. I know last
Speaker 2: year I made the joke just because I wanted to
Speaker 2: upset joe Rico with the lad bat that I wanted
Speaker 2: to just win it just so I could have it
Speaker 2: and then set it on fire and be just a
Speaker 2: horrible person. But now it's like I had no motivation.
Speaker 2: But now you know what, Well, she gave me some motivation.
Speaker 3: I'm well, here's what we can do. How about in
Speaker 3: the YouTube comments, let's see what should be the stakes,
Speaker 3: you guys, let us know what the stakes are if
Speaker 3: Joey can get on there YouTube on this episode, So
Speaker 3: if you're watching live, make sure to jump over to
Speaker 3: the YouTube. What are the stakes for joe to get there?
Speaker 3: And if he doesn't get there, what's the punished?
Speaker 2: I think Walky's wrong, Wonkee's saying if she wins it,
Speaker 2: she's taking the jersey and setting a gift card to
Speaker 2: second place. I mean, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 2: you're gonna talk to hr about that one one. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: I might take it too though, or what I might
Speaker 3: do is I will have ownership of it and then
