Speaker 1: Show, Hey, showing off, Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody
Speaker 1: to fantasy pros. This is leading Off, brought to you
Speaker 1: by bet MGM, the King of sports Books. It is me,
Speaker 1: Joey p Joe Piezapio with me today is the Welsh
Speaker 1: as always, and of course it's you, the Peanuts and
Speaker 1: the Cracker Jacks talking baseball. Julio Rodriguez is in the Derby. Welsh,
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. We've got some more news and notes,
Speaker 1: some injuries to talk about. Joey Otani is the greatest
Speaker 1: thing since slice bread, and Slice Bread is pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I watched the whole documentary about Sliced Bread True Story
Speaker 1: on the History Channel because I'm a big giant dork.
Speaker 1: But Welsh, You're a dork too, which is why I
Speaker 1: love you and Julio in the home run Derby. Are
Speaker 1: you excited now?
Speaker 2: I am quite happy. Earlier in the week I had
Speaker 2: actually expressed my desire for I've always got you know,
Speaker 2: you always want to talk and everybody wants to talk
Speaker 2: about like some of the specific things on like All.
Speaker 3: Star Games, isn't it fun? And let's talk about the team.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, how can we make it better and
Speaker 2: earlier in the week. One of my ideas was we
Speaker 2: go full money. We throw all the money in the
Speaker 2: world at these things, like five million dollars to the
Speaker 2: winner to get it excited.
Speaker 1: The other it.
Speaker 2: Would be, yeah, we do to get like some of
Speaker 2: the good young guys. And I was like, I would
Speaker 2: probably jump up and down.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to do it here.
Speaker 2: If Julio was in that contest, I think that would
Speaker 2: make it really exciting. And now you've got a dude.
Speaker 3: That is for me. This is interesting, a guy that is.
Speaker 2: Actually older than me that is in the Home Run
Speaker 2: Derby and a guy that theoretically could be my son
Speaker 2: based on age.
Speaker 3: So it's a cool place to be in.
Speaker 2: The introspective place for it. I am jacked for Julio Rodriguez.
Speaker 3: But my question is.
Speaker 2: When and what are we doing with our home run
Speaker 2: contest for the Home Run Derby.
Speaker 1: Have it? I have it? I will share when everybody here.
Speaker 1: I know people are still joining the show. Is what happens,
Speaker 1: you know, you start a new and people start to join,
Speaker 1: they go to their lunch break. So Kelly Kirby are
Speaker 1: our own. Indeed, Wonky Penguin has has again saved us
Speaker 1: as she always loves God bless the wonky penguin. She
Speaker 1: basically has an idea that I was kicking around. She has,
Speaker 1: of course expressed it better than I did upgrade. We're
Speaker 1: gonna share it later, but you know, with the Julio
Speaker 1: to the Derby News, here's a question for you. I
Speaker 1: made a comment yesterday because I did the VP show
Speaker 1: yesterday with our own Tom viola or viola I should say,
Speaker 1: like Frank Yola. I don't know why I said viola,
Speaker 1: but Tom and I were talking and I made the
Speaker 1: point about look the Derby because of the time element,
Speaker 1: it does favor the more athletic, good shape kind of
Speaker 1: dudes a little bit more, just a little bit. Julio
Speaker 1: certainly fits that bill, as does Wan. So do you
Speaker 1: think Julio's got a shot here at this?
Speaker 2: I really really do as well. I quit a super
Speaker 2: super quick hands. You've seen it kind of on display. Also,
Speaker 2: if you think about just wearing down now, the only
Speaker 2: thing that could be interesting is I don't personally know
Speaker 2: if he's taken part in something like this now, Like
Speaker 2: if you've ever been to a field before a game. Now,
Speaker 2: here's one thing that happens, and this is something I
Speaker 2: kind of missed because I haven't been around it as
Speaker 2: much over obviously with COVID the last couple of years
Speaker 2: I did in the AFL is during batting practice, these
Speaker 2: guys will run these little mini home run contests, and
Speaker 2: I've seen lots of different guys. I remember Daniel Johnson,
Speaker 2: who used to be with the Guardians, ended up winning
Speaker 2: a home run contest in BP. But Julio hasn't done
Speaker 2: a lot of this stuff. The AFL one year did it.
Speaker 2: The Arizona Fall League did a home run contest and
Speaker 2: then it got the funked. They bringing it back for
Speaker 2: this coming year, So that's one thing to consider. There's
Speaker 2: athleticism and the ability to potentially not wear down. But
Speaker 2: there are some veterans in here, like pet A Lonzo
Speaker 2: and Wansto who've done this before and maybe know how
Speaker 2: to manage their time.
Speaker 3: So for the first.
Speaker 2: Time in forever, I am excited for the home run derby.
Speaker 3: I'm actually gonna watch it good.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're you're frozen excited. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: headlines show Haltani. He picks up two run triple oh
Speaker 1: and struck out twelve guys and oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: him and him and Aaron Judge of swapped places for
Speaker 1: the MVP last night.
Speaker 2: And so last night I was doing a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of looking at stuff and I saw that, and this
Speaker 2: must have flipped because I was on Betting Pros. It's
Speaker 2: actually become one of my favorite things to do because
Speaker 2: it's the aggregate of people are not going to betting
Speaker 2: Pros dot com. You can just go and you can
Speaker 2: see the aggregate of all the sites. I saw that
Speaker 2: Judge was one oh five and Otani was one fifteen
Speaker 2: minus by the way, minus one o five minus one fifteen,
Speaker 2: which for all intentsive purposes is dead even there the
Speaker 2: same and you and I, what three weeks ago, we're
Speaker 2: talking about Otani at four hundred.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and I got Otani at five, where I
Speaker 1: told everybody's like, look, it might not get better than here,
Speaker 1: might get, you know, worse. It's certainly gotten worse. I
Speaker 1: am officially this morning taking my money out of Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge too, So I cashed out aarone cashed it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And there's a part of me that's thinking right now,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm getting a little greedy, But Otani for cy
Speaker 1: Young is at plus eight to fifty right now, just
Speaker 1: saying what a story that would be? The story that
Speaker 1: would be.
Speaker 2: I just finished up and released my redraft ranks over
Speaker 2: at in This League dot Com finally today, but we
Speaker 2: did an episode on in This League of it was
Speaker 2: actually Fantasy Pro's rest of season aggregate rank versus my rank,
Speaker 2: and O'tani was one of probably like five guys that
Speaker 2: I found the most difficult, because there's always that part
Speaker 2: of you that's like, is there like a taper back situation?
Speaker 2: They gotta do stretch out the rotation, but they don't
Speaker 2: have any depth to it. He's looking like the best
Speaker 2: pitcher in baseball and a top ten hitter in baseball
Speaker 2: as well, so it is quite quite amazing. And if
Speaker 2: he hits I think I saw I don't know who
Speaker 2: it was, Hayman or something, but if he wins a
Speaker 2: Cy Young, he assuredly has to win the MVP, right,
Speaker 2: it has to be a relation.
Speaker 3: If you're doing well.
Speaker 1: You remember the beginning of the year, I think I
Speaker 1: was saying that it wouldn't it be fun to get
Speaker 1: a bet where show hey for both and I was
Speaker 1: waiting for that. Somebody to post that as a special
Speaker 1: hasn't posted yet. I feel like we're getting off a close.
Speaker 3: To I think next year you might see that.
Speaker 2: Like I think some of the smaller gambling sites, that
Speaker 2: would be something that would have been really really good, like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, twelve to one or something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, I mean preseason, I think you
Speaker 2: could probably create some better odds like fifteen to one.
Speaker 2: I mean, to win it both is an absurd thought.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's easy now.
Speaker 1: It's easy right now to see a coming. Look, McClanahan
Speaker 1: was great last night. We'll get to all of it.
Speaker 1: You know what else was good yesterday? John Gray, our
Speaker 1: guy DFS yesterday, our cheap guy. Remember that. Well, he
Speaker 1: struck out nine guys, seven scoreless innings for John Gray. Terrific.
Speaker 1: Jose I Glacias, Yes that jose Iglesius. It's a homer
Speaker 1: and drives in six runs. That's a stunning number for him.
Speaker 1: That's all the whole month total. Austin Hayes, one of
Speaker 1: my favorite dudes, racks up four hits on his own,
Speaker 1: ten straight wins for the O's, ten straight wins for
Speaker 1: the Mariners. They are on fire right now. Ti Oscar
Speaker 1: Rnandez Homers twice to lead the Blue Jays with their
Speaker 1: new manager to a W. So that was very important there.
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker, he is back and the Mariners, as I said,
Speaker 1: won their tenth game. Joe Adell was also back again
Speaker 1: amazing on TRIPLEA. So here we go again. So is
Speaker 1: this the Joe Adele run?
Speaker 3: Well, I put my hands up. I don't know where
Speaker 3: to put my hand I don't know. Man.
Speaker 2: Adele and Kelnick are far beyond I think any of
Speaker 2: our understanding anymore.
Speaker 3: My understanding.
Speaker 2: Adele is a freak athlete. But you know, I had
Speaker 2: heard two years ago there was someone who had a
Speaker 2: contact with one of the coaches in the organization. Don't
Speaker 2: want to tell all the people, but this coach was like,
Speaker 2: this kid cannot hit anything over ninety three because of
Speaker 2: the cheating on breaking pitches.
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, that's interesting. And sure enough,
Speaker 3: that's what you've seen, you know, in.
Speaker 2: The lower levels a lot less breaking pitches and can
Speaker 2: just sit on the fastball. And that adjustment has been
Speaker 2: so bad for him, so crazy for him. And you
Speaker 2: would think, and this might be the this may just
Speaker 2: take this away that we ever think this happens, but
Speaker 2: nothing rubbed off on him. No, oh, Tani and trout
Speaker 2: with this kid every single day. Sure, nothing rubbed off.
Speaker 2: Nothing seemed to catch on. So, you know, cross your fingers.
Speaker 2: We see plenty of these guys that we get frustrated with.
Speaker 2: You were talking Taylor Ward yesterday, These guys that just
Speaker 2: pick it up and find it at twenty seven, I'm
Speaker 2: thinking that's gonna kind of be the case, you know,
Speaker 2: I hope so, so he's not the next Monty Harrison.
Speaker 1: Well, here's a question for you. Who is a more
Speaker 1: tortured soul Multi Grammy winning artist Adele or those people
Speaker 1: who have rostered Joe Adell in their fantasy leagues this year?
Speaker 2: Ooh ooh, that might be a song that sounds like
Speaker 2: a country song.
Speaker 1: By the way, You're right, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: Adele has been pretty, but she seems to be happy
Speaker 1: now in life. She's She's like, I feel like she's
Speaker 1: just moved in with some guy or something like that.
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking that it's the people of roster Joe
Speaker 1: Adell who are actually more tortured this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. And she lost weight. She seems
Speaker 3: to be kid too.
Speaker 1: I could I could be wrong on that anyway, Frances
Speaker 1: hold the door at a three run homer. Yesterday is
Speaker 1: the Mets beat the Braves seven to three. Uh, they
Speaker 1: beat up on Charlie Morton, So that's important. Also, it's
Speaker 1: important to the injuries. Frankie Montas shoulder will not start
Speaker 1: this weekend. Oh what a surprise. So everybody thought he
Speaker 1: was gonna start. They're pushing it back, They're giving it
Speaker 1: a little bit more time. M Oh oh baby, this
Speaker 1: is this is.
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna preemptively tell you I hate this injury list
Speaker 2: that you have here.
Speaker 1: I hate it. Hey, okay, let's keep going Eloya Menez
Speaker 1: day to day with right leg. I am losing my
Speaker 1: patients with ALOI I am two plantations. I actually am
Speaker 1: too exits with the tight shoulder. MRI upcoming. Stay tuned,
Speaker 1: Yankee fans. This is a problem. This is a big problem.
Speaker 1: This is my thing. It's like, look, Nester Cortez can't
Speaker 1: be this great forever. What happens if Sevarino breaks down.
Speaker 1: It's a big start today for Nestor Cortez. I feel
Speaker 1: like today Lewis Castillo, the Yankee should just say why
Speaker 1: don't you just stay to Louis Castillo like you're here,
Speaker 1: just get a hotel, just stay, don't go back on
Speaker 1: the team playing with the Reds. Let's figure this out.
Speaker 1: Just wait, this is the audition here for Luis Castillo.
Speaker 1: Iron Savali left his start due to a sore wrist.
Speaker 1: Brian Reynolds with the oblique as yes to resume the
Speaker 1: baseball activities. The old obliques take a long time. Good
Speaker 1: news X rays were negative on Trevor Storre's hand. That's
Speaker 1: the only bit of good news. But the Severino one,
Speaker 1: this is a big one, Welsh, I'd be very concerned
Speaker 1: if I would be, you.
Speaker 3: Know, that was another one of those.
Speaker 2: I went pretty hard aggressive on just how awesome Severino
Speaker 2: was playing. It looked like it was like og Severino.
Speaker 2: And then sure enough, right as I was finishing up
Speaker 2: those rest of season at least this month's rest of
Speaker 2: season redraft stuff. That injury makes me go into a spiral.
Speaker 2: When I see like a shoulder injury like that for
Speaker 2: a guy like this who has had some injury problems,
Speaker 2: I go into a spiral of how do you rank
Speaker 2: and evaluate him the rest of the season. Because this
Speaker 2: is the type of thing that can take him down.
Speaker 2: I don't want a tight shoulder. So even if if
Speaker 2: it comes back really good, okay, that's positive. I don't
Speaker 2: even know if we are at a point in this
Speaker 2: season where you could let him come back, pitch a
Speaker 2: little bit and still have time to trade him if
Speaker 2: you and get good value and make people forget about
Speaker 2: this injury. If you could, I might try to do that,
Speaker 2: but I worried very well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd be worried to Uh it looks like John
Speaker 1: Hayman should be worried. One of our favorite mascots of
Speaker 1: the show. Uh So, Ozzie Geehan challenged John Hayman to
Speaker 1: a fight. You know, I thought the Adrian Peterson Levy
Speaker 1: on bellboxing match was going to be something that has
Speaker 1: my attention. But no, no, no, it's Ozzi Gian versus
Speaker 1: John Hayman. Here's the tweet from Ozzie Gian. My wife
Speaker 1: will be mad but tired of this liar talking about me.
Speaker 1: You're jealous, you're a jealous man, and he spelled you
Speaker 1: are incorrectly.
Speaker 3: It's yeah, there's yeah.
Speaker 1: We Kings is the second language, so I get exactly
Speaker 1: because I can't speak Spanish this well or write it
Speaker 1: this well, Uh, you're a jealous man that with me
Speaker 1: with s English do your job too. All you do
Speaker 1: is lie about stories. I get paid to talk baseball,
Speaker 1: just like you. I said, I love Tony, but I
Speaker 1: gave my opinion and he know how I feel. You
Speaker 1: always hate.
Speaker 2: I will say, Ozzie Gian sounds like me when I
Speaker 2: text fast, Like I think we're about this.
Speaker 3: I think it's about the same thing.
Speaker 2: Like if you've ever received a text from me, you've
Speaker 2: definitely received a text where I'm like, I'd be on soon,
Speaker 2: call me give talk later and then I'll spell later
Speaker 2: wrong and then I'll correct it with the stars. So
Speaker 2: that's definitely that I can relate with him. I feel
Speaker 2: for Ozzie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So anyway, this is just too funny. Also something
Speaker 1: to take into account when you're making wagers is this weekend,
Speaker 1: you know a third of the two thirds of the
Speaker 1: Royals are going to travel to Toronto ten, including Andrew,
Speaker 1: Ben and Tende. I will not be traveling with the
Speaker 1: team with Maryfield. Well, who's heard anyway, Hunter Dozer, m J. Melendez,
Speaker 1: Michael Taylor, brad Keller. Pretty singer is a bunch. It's
Speaker 1: a big chunk. So all in on gosplan tonight. And yeah,
Speaker 1: on a secondary note, also none of those guys who
Speaker 1: also opted out or not playing in Canada. Also no
Speaker 1: reports of measles, mumps or rubella or any other things
Speaker 1: that they've all been backstated for which I just want
Speaker 1: to look it up.
Speaker 2: I will point out with that two things that are
Speaker 2: interesting I have not the books are completely away from it.
Speaker 2: They're not doing anything. There's no like I was immediately looking.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what's the total base Margaron Vladimir Guerrero today?
Speaker 2: I want to take a look. Haven't seen it. I
Speaker 2: haven't gone in. I was just on the aggregate. And
Speaker 2: the thing I'm dying for is the list of guys
Speaker 2: that's taking over. And I haven't seen that because the
Speaker 2: one I'm speculating on the sure the sheer amount of these.
Speaker 2: There's five outfielders. This team is not rostering. Five outfielders.
Speaker 1: Two kids, Grab a glove. You might be able to
Speaker 1: play for the Royals.
Speaker 3: I mind, me and cousin Donnie, We're gonna get out there.
Speaker 1: Who, by the way, is starting a podcast. I don't know.
Speaker 3: If you don't know, he's not.
Speaker 1: First of all, his kids are going to be over
Speaker 1: my house the next two days.
Speaker 3: Is there going to be the cousinani?
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, but he is. He bought a
Speaker 1: microphone yesterday on Amazon fund. He's been talking about this
Speaker 1: for a year, So look out because that's amazing and
Speaker 1: that's the.
Speaker 3: Thing I wanted to add.
Speaker 2: I we got to help produce that that's amazing podcast.
Speaker 2: But Nick Proto, that would be the guy that would
Speaker 2: be looking at in that organization. Five outfielders which he
Speaker 2: can play. I mean, he's more of a first baseman
Speaker 2: and just a sure amount of guy. I have to
Speaker 2: imagine that Prato who is on the forty man this
Speaker 2: will be his major league debut shot.
Speaker 3: I haven't heard anything about it.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of interested in that if it does go
Speaker 2: down because I'm a Nick Proto guy.
Speaker 3: And Annie pas Quentino there's not Donnie.
Speaker 2: Annie Paspentino got the run on it, but look for
Speaker 2: Nick Prodo if he gets a little bit of run
Speaker 2: this weekend.
Speaker 1: I guess that is his real name for those of
Speaker 1: you wonder, and he is now jumping into the podcast game.
Speaker 1: He saw me do it. He's like, if that moron
Speaker 1: can do it, I can certainly do it better.
Speaker 2: And he's like, that's my entire life of doing in
Speaker 2: this league and anytime podcast.
Speaker 3: Me and they're like, well, I could do that.
Speaker 1: Good time. All right, let's get to some fun facts,
Speaker 1: and of course fun facts always means Johelo Toni at least,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple times a week. Shohy Atani in
Speaker 1: his last four starts forty five strikeouts, one earned run.
Speaker 1: The only pitchers in Major League Baseball history to have
Speaker 1: a four start span with forty five plus strikeouts and
Speaker 1: one total earned run. Randy Johnson, Clayton Kershaw, Chris Saylee,
Speaker 1: Jacob mcgram that's it. That's the entire list right there.
Speaker 1: And another fun one here, This is for Seane McClanahan.
Speaker 1: Sean McClanahan has allowed twenty one earned runs in eighteen
Speaker 1: starts and struck out one hundred and forty seven batters.
Speaker 1: The only guys to do that in Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: history is just one, actually two, Louis Tian in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty eight and Pedro Martinez in the year two thousand.
Speaker 1: So Jim mccla that's the problem is like, I want
Speaker 1: to go in right now because Otani's at eight and
Speaker 1: a half, but you still got McClanahan and Verlander, and
Speaker 1: all I'm waiting for is that one blister or that
Speaker 1: one thing with one of those guys, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, the Tani number just drops off. I think
Speaker 1: it could be.
Speaker 3: That's an impacting speculative move. That's what I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: It was like, if I'm in on Verlander, and I am,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make on probably about one hundred dollars worth
Speaker 1: of bets over one thousand dollars of Verlander wins aside.
Speaker 1: I'm just being completely transparent. Actually did the math the
Speaker 1: other day, right, So I've done all my wagers. I
Speaker 1: have all locked in. That's it on Verlander. So I'm
Speaker 1: looking for my hedge and I keep looking at that
Speaker 1: because they'll at two to one on the clanahand or
Speaker 1: I can get eight and a half with O Tommy.
Speaker 1: I kind of want to hedge with Otani and I know.
Speaker 3: But Otani's a cool one.
Speaker 2: I like, wank you just put down there, which I
Speaker 2: agree with, unless they shut McClanahan down, like I think he.
Speaker 1: Is the realm. But they're in the playoff race. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know, No, I don't know what the numbers
Speaker 2: look like like this is one of those bets, you
Speaker 2: know when you look at like these big ones. The
Speaker 2: play sometimes could be take your three favorites with good odds,
Speaker 2: place the same amount of money on them, lower the
Speaker 2: overall odd if one hits, but you've pushed them up
Speaker 2: simply because you've got three great ones. This is probably
Speaker 2: a point I'm not looking. I have absolutely no idea.
Speaker 2: Imagine McClanahan as like plus one fifty, and then you're
Speaker 2: gonna have Verlander at like two fifty.
Speaker 3: And I mean, Ifhotoni is at eight to one.
Speaker 1: Well look, I just think Verlander's gonna get more than
Speaker 1: twenty wins this or twenty. And if he does, I mean,
Speaker 1: look it's I'm telling you, the general Baseball voting public
Speaker 1: still does not care as much about Seane mcclanahan's legacy
Speaker 1: as they care about Justin Verlander. Justin Verlander is an
Speaker 1: easy vote for those people who vote. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: right now it is, and it's gonna piss a lot
Speaker 1: of people off because people gonn say mclanahan's worthy. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, I still think it's Verlander's to lose.
Speaker 2: We do see stupid stuff like that where when it's close,
Speaker 2: you know, the writers will go to the guy with
Speaker 2: the history.
Speaker 3: So it's almost like the because.
Speaker 1: The writers are still a bunch of older people who
Speaker 1: still typically just watch the one team. It's kind of
Speaker 1: like watch Shane McClanahan starts. I'm telling you, it's kind of.
Speaker 2: Like the the umpires with not giving young guys calls.
Speaker 2: They're giving very calls and stuff like that, and then
Speaker 2: they'll do the makeup. They'll do the makeup. You know,
Speaker 2: it's like next year writers will give the makeup to
Speaker 2: McClanahan when he's not quite as good or whatever.
Speaker 3: I see what you're saying here.
Speaker 2: I mean, I still like McClanahan, but it's a it's
Speaker 2: a muddy it's a muddy situation where some of these
Speaker 2: others are not so much all right.
Speaker 1: Also, here's another fun fact. We had a lot of
Speaker 1: fun facts today. Forty two percent of this year's All
Speaker 1: Star selections were internationally born. Now I'm not internationally known,
Speaker 1: but I am known to rock a microphone. And this
Speaker 1: is a fun stat. Baseball is a global game. I
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty cool this day in baseball yesterday
Speaker 1: was Pedro Martinez. How about today. In nineteen ninety five,
Speaker 1: Ramone Martinez, let's not forget about Ramone. Talk about living
Speaker 1: in your brother's shadow. You're the big brother and there's
Speaker 1: little brother. Ramone was the older one through his first
Speaker 1: no hitter on the first of the season against the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles as the Los Angeles Dodgers, excuse me, beat
Speaker 1: the then Florida Marlin seven. Nothing. Actually had a perfect
Speaker 1: game through seven in this one, so they.
Speaker 3: Love didn't Pedro threw a no hitter?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: I was about to say that has to a stat
Speaker 3: would be the only brother duo to throw a no hitter?
Speaker 3: Would have to be done, right? Could pro thre it
Speaker 3: would be?
Speaker 1: Could be?
Speaker 3: Then are we sure Pedro threw a no hitter?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a good question. I just assumed
Speaker 1: he had.
Speaker 2: I did too. I like, as soon as I saw this,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, brothers did this. But now I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: I don't know if Patri trying.
Speaker 1: To think of other brothers that pitched, you know that.
Speaker 1: That's why I think that micros what about pasqual and
Speaker 1: Melito Perez? Is that is that a good I don't
Speaker 1: think one of them actually threw no Yeah, give me wrong,
Speaker 1: let's let's let's figure that out here. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: here's a little trivia before you think about and chew
Speaker 1: on while we give you the stat heroes and zeros
Speaker 1: from last night's games. Dansby Swanson, number one pick overall,
Speaker 1: made his first All Star team this year. He was
Speaker 1: number one pick overall in twenty fifteen. Who is the
Speaker 1: last number one overall pick before Swanson to be named
Speaker 1: to the All Star Team? So I guess you know
Speaker 1: the answer? You can guess.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Carlos Korea.
Speaker 1: That is correct. It is Carlos Ka. So there you go.
Speaker 3: Well, sorry, I ruined it.
Speaker 1: Wow, we to take the sales out of the trivia
Speaker 1: foreverything you should have told me.
Speaker 2: No, I felt really considered about this one. That's my fault.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, everybody. I'm just too small for your own game.
Speaker 2: Kind of on fire on these with Alfonso.
Speaker 1: Pretty crappy by the way, you know, I mean Royce
Speaker 1: Lewis in twenty seventeen, still work in progress. In twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: I keep coming back to Mickey Moniac and I keep
Speaker 1: and I remember that year screaming on every bit of
Speaker 1: content that was on. How in the world can you
Speaker 1: have thousands of prospects, and you guys all collectively land
Speaker 1: that Mickey Moniac in Philadelphia is the best one to pick.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it at the time. I screamed the
Speaker 1: other about it. Then I'm still screaming about it. They
Speaker 1: kept talking about him like he was Mickey Mantle, just
Speaker 1: because Mickey Mantle was his favorite player. I don't care
Speaker 1: he is. Are you kidding me? Two hundred? At the
Speaker 1: major league level.
Speaker 2: It's one of the things I hate the most. And
Speaker 2: watch out for this weekend, dude, watch out for this
Speaker 2: weekend when.
Speaker 3: The draft is going on.
Speaker 2: Is these teams that buy the you know, they're scentially
Speaker 2: buying these prospects that cheaper prices. Mickey Moniac was taken
Speaker 2: because they were able to get a discount. I don't
Speaker 2: remember the full draft of what happened.
Speaker 1: You want a discount or do you want a player
Speaker 1: that's going to be in your organization for a decade.
Speaker 2: These teams think what they're going to do is they're gonna,
Speaker 2: you know, save a million dollars at the top, and
Speaker 2: then they're going to use that later to convince a
Speaker 2: player or overpay slot. Listen, you don't do that with
Speaker 2: the first overall pick or your first round pick.
Speaker 3: In my eyes, you don't go in.
Speaker 2: Maybe if you have like the twelfth pick or something
Speaker 2: and you want to save some money, Okay, you got.
Speaker 3: Like a top five pick.
Speaker 2: I'm not saving money for later in the draft. I'm
Speaker 2: taking the best players. The amount of times one one.
Speaker 1: It's amazing how often the one pick is not.
Speaker 2: And the number one team that does it has the
Speaker 2: number one pick this weekend, and the Orioles they continuously
Speaker 2: do it. They did it last year taking Cowser, they
Speaker 2: took Heshton Khurshtad the year before, and there aren't he.
Speaker 3: Rutchman was one of the few. I don't remember if
Speaker 3: he was one over Yeah, I think he was one.
Speaker 1: He was looking.
Speaker 3: We're sitting at it again. We're sitting in a situation
Speaker 3: where there are a lot of rumors out there.
Speaker 2: Jones is the theoretical consentus number one overall pick, but
Speaker 2: there are rumors abound that there's about four or five
Speaker 2: other directions they could go because there are so many.
Speaker 2: Here's the key, not that everybody cares. There are so
Speaker 2: many injured, injured high school and college pitchers out there
Speaker 2: that are dealing with Tommy John issues and stuff that
Speaker 2: they can go and spend big money in the compensatory
Speaker 2: round on some of these guys that are first round
Speaker 2: talent that are slipping. So it's messy, it's dirty, it's gross,
Speaker 2: Hate it and just be on the lookout for it.
Speaker 1: Brady Aiken in twenty fourteen, Mark Apell in twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: Korea in twenty twelve, Garrett Cole, Bryce Harper, there was
Speaker 1: a good run there, Steven Strasburg for a little while,
Speaker 1: Tim Beckham in two thousand and eight, David Price in
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, Luke Hoacheverr in two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: and other thoracic outlet syndrome guy and Tommy John, Justin
Speaker 1: Upton in five, Matt Bush and O four, Delman Young
Speaker 1: and O three, Brian Bullington in two thousand and two,
Speaker 1: Joe Mauer in two thousand and one, and Adrian Gonzales
Speaker 1: in two thousand.
Speaker 2: So Matt Bush is another one of those overpay or
Speaker 2: underpay at that first overall slot save a bunch of money,
Speaker 2: and that did not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the tracker gets really working out for cheaping out
Speaker 1: of the number one pick. Mickey moniac Well Korea.
Speaker 2: Corea was actually one of those, just to point out
Speaker 2: that was the same year I think Buxton and Brian,
Speaker 2: not Brian, but Buckston and someone else and they passed.
Speaker 2: And Carlos Korea, I think, was the number one overall
Speaker 2: pick you to save money. That's probably the last one
Speaker 2: I remembered.
Speaker 1: But Carea looked like a franchise player, like Frank cars
Speaker 1: Carea like I saw play as a high schooler, and
Speaker 1: I was like, yep, like that.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah he was compared to a rod.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was not.
Speaker 2: But he was one of those guys that didn't belong
Speaker 2: in the like number one overall conversation.
Speaker 3: But he did work out. He did work out, he did.
Speaker 1: John Gray was the number two overall pick. He's worn
Speaker 1: out nine K seven innings stat Hero draw strippling six
Speaker 1: k's seven scoreless, Showyo Tani twelve k's one earned and
Speaker 1: six and Shane McClanahan six k's six innings, one earned.
Speaker 1: Tioscarnandez had his two bombs, jose A Glaci's had a
Speaker 1: huge night. Hosey Miranda three for five with a homer,
Speaker 1: Corona Worth two for three with a homer, Jon Soto
Speaker 1: one for two with a homer, Eddie Rozario with a
Speaker 1: homer three for four, Forty Freeman three for threes to
Speaker 1: a fair Child two for three with a homer, Brandon
Speaker 1: Belt two for four with a dong, and Sam Hilly
Speaker 1: earned three for five. The losers Zach Wheeler six earned
Speaker 1: runs and four and two third not good. Charlie Morton
Speaker 1: five earned in five, same with Josiah Gray. Tony Gonsolin
Speaker 1: Welsh five earned runs five.
Speaker 3: I put it on the article.
Speaker 2: I think I think I put it on the article
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, but I mean it's bound
Speaker 2: to happen. We can't victory lap any of the regression
Speaker 2: yet it's one start, Oh I can.
Speaker 1: I'm getting my back. It's gonna be hurt from all
Speaker 1: the victory last. My legs are tired. Paul Blackburn also bad.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Mike Maher got his way, and look,
Speaker 1: of course that was gonna come back down to earth.
Speaker 1: But this is why you sell high on guys. We
Speaker 1: talked about it, sure, Martine Perez, and look, you knowbody
Speaker 1: wants sell high on Tony Gonsolin. Here we go, let's go.
Speaker 1: Eno swears one for seven five K's Byron Bucks and
Speaker 1: over five of four Golden sombrero hat trick for Judge
Speaker 1: O four with three, no On Ormann four to three,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Pano for three, and Kyle Schwarbro four three. Fifteen
Speaker 1: people called young Carlos Stanton correct yesterday in the home
Speaker 1: run contest, So that has us moving. So take a
Speaker 1: look at the board. High Cubby's up to thirty five, now,
Speaker 1: Niking of the North down to twenty seven. Actively lazy

Speaker 2: deck chair off the Queen Mary, You're off the Titanic.
Speaker 3: And I ain't wing a whole lot for me.
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, I got Stanton, but I am a
Speaker 2: far distance away.
Speaker 1: To answer the previous question. By the way, Pedro had
Speaker 1: a nine inning no hitter and then the game went
Speaker 1: to extra innings. And he got pulled.
Speaker 3: So so he never had an averhead technical hitter.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, so we have no brothers. So there's a
Speaker 2: stat froom. We have no brothers in history?
Speaker 1: Thy Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't think. I can't

Speaker 2: to family. Do we have any like father son do?

Speaker 2: starting picture duos that even exist out there.
Speaker 3: We obviously have the hitters they have at Pluck hitters, but.
Speaker 2: I can't really think of I mean, even like I
Speaker 2: was thinking, like Tom Gordon's kids both were position players.

Speaker 3: extra extra big on you.
Speaker 1: Okay, I think you losing weight in my melon. Uh,
Speaker 1: Dizzy and Daffy Dean. I don't know, Like somebody go
Speaker 1: research this. You're just sitting there watching use.
Speaker 3: Those cartoon characters.
Speaker 1: Okay, they were all right. Here are your guys for tonight.
Speaker 1: Blake Snell on FanDuel. Five and a half is the
Speaker 1: k prop. Let's go over on the minus one oh eight.
Speaker 1: That's a good number. Plus one ten on. Kyle writes
Speaker 1: four and a half strikeouts on FanDuel as well, let's
Speaker 1: give me. I feel like against the Matsuis steal, against
Speaker 1: the Yankees offense struggling a little bit. Maybe it's just
Speaker 1: a little I mean they.
Speaker 3: Won on a wild pitch last have been playing them strong,
Speaker 3: they really have.
Speaker 1: They gave that one away last night. Five and a
Speaker 1: half is the number at minus one forty eight and
Speaker 1: L two a one and a half total bases. That's
Speaker 1: over in DK plus one oh five is ramiror is
Speaker 1: at the sugar House total bases one and a half.
Speaker 1: That's even money as well. Welsh, what do you got
Speaker 1: from the props today?
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you I love and I didn't put
Speaker 2: it on here because you did it.
Speaker 3: I love the Jose Ramirez one one of my favorites
Speaker 3: of the day. Money at one and a half even money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're gonna play those, Yeah, if you're gonna
Speaker 2: play those total bass, give me go.
Speaker 1: Update Dizzy and Daffy Dean did throw no hitters the
Speaker 1: Dean Brothers.
Speaker 2: There you go, sure, Dizzy and Daffy. That's fantastic. Mickey
Speaker 2: Mouse is the through a perfect game. Yeah, Jose Ramirez
Speaker 2: my favorite, this one. I know it feels weird, but
Speaker 2: I'm really in on it Nester Cortez five and a
Speaker 2: half strikeouts. He's hit this in two of the last three.
Speaker 2: Reds are twenty six in baseball and strikeouts and something
Speaker 2: I was taking a look at that June really slumped him. Now,
Speaker 2: I guess we don't have enough of a sample size
Speaker 2: to know if July has turned it, but it's much
Speaker 2: more reminiscent of his May he was striking out eight
Speaker 2: point six or that's the Reds eight point six strikeouts
Speaker 2: per game. Over the last three they've been striking out
Speaker 2: two ten point six. But I was looking k pre
Speaker 2: nine on Nester Cortes was sitting in the low.
Speaker 3: Eights in June. Mid ninees in May.
Speaker 2: Were back to mid ninees in July, so strikeout numbers
Speaker 2: seem to be coming back. I like this one, trying to,
Speaker 2: you know, just target the Reds and pinpoint them. So
Speaker 2: I like the Nester Cortez one and then a Goofy one.
Speaker 2: Carlos Santana, who's been on a really good hot streak
Speaker 2: since he's joined the Mariners, got an almost three seventy
Speaker 2: average career wise versus Martine Perez, so total base one
Speaker 2: and a half over, and I believe this is like
Speaker 2: solid plus money. I don't remember what it was, maybe
Speaker 2: one fifteen, So Carlos Santana, nest Cortes, Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 3: Those are my three. I really like.
Speaker 1: Here's the DFS STA for tonight. Boys and girls, get ready.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the easiest not a DFS in
Speaker 1: your life. On DK A point six k Kevin Gosman
Speaker 1: against whoever's left of the Royals. Just lock it up.
Speaker 1: They just fired the manager. All the bats woke up
Speaker 1: last night.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be choc though it was getting crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't care. They don't care. Again, it's better to
Speaker 1: be right then different. I think it might be so chalk.
Speaker 1: People are gonna get off it. They're gonna they're gonna
Speaker 1: talk themselves out of it. For the same reason they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be two chalk good. Chuck is good, excellent,
Speaker 1: especially the green chalk. It looks like money.
Speaker 3: It's on boards.
Speaker 1: But you gotta get the second picture right. Franber Valdez
Speaker 1: nine point seven against the Halos. Why not? Or you
Speaker 1: could go with Kyle Wright eight point five save a
Speaker 1: lot of money, or you can dip into the again.
Speaker 1: The multiple outcome game of Carlos for Don versus Burns tonight,
Speaker 1: which is gonna be tricky. Carls Rodon much cheaper at
Speaker 1: nine point three. I think that's the right I would
Speaker 1: go with Gosman. I think that's your key to unlocking
Speaker 1: the chalk a little bit. But you gotta have Gospin tonight.
Speaker 1: Best Gossman lineup wins at the end of the day
Speaker 1: over on FanDuel. You gotta pay ten point one for Gosmin.
Speaker 1: That's fine by me. Everybody else is super expensive. Right
Speaker 1: is more money, Valdez is more money. Ro Don's more money,
Speaker 1: Burns is more money. Go stack the Mets, go stack
Speaker 1: the Astros, and go get Kevin Gosman. Lineup builders, Nolan
Speaker 1: Jones at two k free square on DK, Markana at
Speaker 1: three point three, elens Dz at three point two, diaz
Speaker 1: on Fandel two point two very free, uh Markana two seven,
Speaker 1: Stephen Kwan the Quanta two point five tonight. I'm going
Speaker 1: home run going Marcus Simeon tonight against the again. Things
Speaker 1: have got to turn for the Mariners eventually, So give
Speaker 1: me Marcus Simeon tonight to get things off on the
Speaker 1: right foot. How about you Welsh, where are you going tonight?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick on Elvin Rodriguez is eleven era, go
Speaker 2: with my total base guy. I'm gonna go with Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 2: Try to make it two in a row. Please, There
Speaker 2: you go, two in a row. What's Mayor got today?
Speaker 2: He's got Matt Carpenter. So there you go, Matt Carpenter.
Speaker 2: There you go, sure Mayor?
Speaker 1: Sure sure thing. There also one another note to Jacob
Speaker 1: DERIZI came back, had a good start. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna stick in that rotation, and I'm starting to get
Speaker 1: the feeling that Christian Javier after last night might be
Speaker 1: back bullpen pound, which is really gonna upset me, but
Speaker 1: I think it's the best move for the team. Do
Speaker 1: you think that's gonna happen here after the break, because
Speaker 1: it's starting to feel like that might be the case.
Speaker 3: I think on I think that, Yeah. I mean, I'm
Speaker 3: definitely a cell high on Javier for sure.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: The only thing, though, is won if that team would
Speaker 2: benefit from pushing that six man rotation with everything you
Speaker 2: talked about with Verlander and stuff like that, like shortened
Speaker 2: stints a little bit, get all of them out there.
Speaker 1: I just wonder I don't think they're gonna do it.
Speaker 1: I don't think they have to do it. But again,
Speaker 1: an injury at any given time changes the dynamic. A
Speaker 1: lot of things, a lot of baseball things to watch today.
Speaker 1: The Yankees, Reds are important. I want to see what
Speaker 1: Gospin does tonight. Great prime time late night game here
Speaker 1: with Corbyn, Burns and Grodn had to head. It's a
Speaker 1: good night for baseball, it's good night for us here.
Speaker 1: We hope you enjoyed the show. Will be back again
Speaker 1: tomorrow to do it all again. That'll do it for us,
Speaker 1: But the story of the game goes on for the Welsh.
Speaker 1: I'm Joey p. We'll see an X doc. Kids,
