Speaker 1: When he use that promo code leading Off when you
Speaker 1: do to get one hundred percent deposit match up to
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, It's me Joey P. Joe piez Apia,
Speaker 1: that of course is the Welsh and we're recapping everything
Speaker 1: that went on from the weekend of Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: in Fantasy little wagering talk later in the show, little
Speaker 1: DfES little this a little that. It was a whole
Speaker 1: lot of rain all weekend, So Joey P didn't leave
Speaker 1: his house, which was nice. After the NFL Draft took
Speaker 1: a lot out of me, so that was good. I
Speaker 1: stayed in my pajamas most of the weekend, not all
Speaker 1: of it, just most of it. And Welsh he had
Speaker 1: a little little detailing done on the old automobile, like
Speaker 1: this weekend.
Speaker 2: He had a big, big, old adult weekend. You know,
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit of a home depot. I don't know,
Speaker 2: if you have time. Yeah, I had a card detailing, Joe.
Speaker 2: It's exactly I watched baseball. You got a card detailing
Speaker 2: and dealt with more animal stuff, with a new animal.
Speaker 2: We're fostering.
Speaker 1: Animals died. I hope this weekend.
Speaker 2: No no, no, an animal. No, another animal was brought
Speaker 2: into my house. It is literally a zoo into my house.
Speaker 1: Speaking of animals, Happy birthday to cousin Donnie yesterday he
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Donny. He turned I don't know how many years, young,
Speaker 1: but young enough, young at heart. That's all that matters.
Speaker 1: Gus and Donnie. Hope everyone's doing well out there. Obviously
Speaker 1: a lot of baseball to get to. So let's get
Speaker 1: after it. Let's start here with Jacob de Gram. You know,
Speaker 1: I feel like I deserve this. I deserve this.
Speaker 2: I just like you want to know what I was
Speaker 2: not looking forward to all weekend was this moment right
Speaker 2: here because I knew exactly what was going to happen
Speaker 2: to just do it all right.
Speaker 1: Well, here's why I deserve this one. All year, I've
Speaker 1: been such a stickler and a pain in the ass
Speaker 1: about the eight and a half strikeout rule going under
Speaker 1: every time. This was the one time all year I
Speaker 1: went over the and Havel strikeout rule. The one time
Speaker 1: was Jacob de grom and granted he was certainly looking
Speaker 1: like that was going to get obliterated. That didn't have
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that in my mind. But he
Speaker 1: lands once again on the you.
Speaker 2: Want to hear the worst, You want to hear the worst. No, No,
Speaker 2: we didn't announce that. We didn't say this, but I
Speaker 2: think I mentioned this on the show earlier or later
Speaker 2: last week that Frank Stanful from CBS and I we
Speaker 2: we like to chat about betting and stuff like that,
Speaker 2: and we've been I brought up the ladder betting, and
Speaker 2: we have been talking for weeks about you know, when
Speaker 2: are we going to get into a ladder bet? You know,
Speaker 2: you just take the stacking of the strike talking.
Speaker 1: About this last week. If you missed it, go back
Speaker 1: and listen, everybody, Well, explain ladder bets. We'll do a
Speaker 1: BP show about it too, where you do like a
Speaker 1: fun MLB BP show the next week or so. Go ahead.
Speaker 2: Well, we've done a great job of like talking ourselves
Speaker 2: into a guy and then being like, nah, there's too
Speaker 2: much risk, blah blah blah, and we hit it every
Speaker 2: time we've gone against Well, Frank texts me and goes,
Speaker 2: look at this lineup. Look at this Yankees lineup to
Speaker 2: gram is against like it's a big number, but it'll
Speaker 2: never be lower. And Frank and I both ladder bet
Speaker 2: that one. So it was that was not we It
Speaker 2: took a lot of a rewin.
Speaker 1: You are more depressed than I was.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't thin get a lot of recooping to
Speaker 2: get past that moment.
Speaker 1: So now if you're keeping score at home, you have
Speaker 1: the spring training side injury, you have the two week
Speaker 1: into the season wrist injury, and now the elbow injury,
Speaker 1: which is gonna put him on the eye l He
Speaker 1: went on the I already this weekend. They're still calling
Speaker 1: it precautionaryuary. It's gonna be a couple of weeks. You know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I mean, I just want
Speaker 1: if I get it. You went into the business. Maybe
Speaker 1: you got a discount out on my draft. The minute
Speaker 1: they say he's clear to return, take what you can
Speaker 1: get and run, just run. I don't care what, I
Speaker 1: don't care if it's something, you.
Speaker 2: Don't care what it is.
Speaker 1: If you gave me Sonny Gray rest of the season
Speaker 1: for Jacob Degram, I would take that and I would
Speaker 1: run away with it. I know that makes you depressed.
Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'm gonna run away with it because
Speaker 1: at least there's a guy who's gonna go out there
Speaker 1: with fIF day and take the ball because you can't
Speaker 1: keep going out there making three innings starts. You can't
Speaker 1: do it. And then it's like three innings and I'll
Speaker 1: see you in three weeks, or it's six innings and
Speaker 1: then I'll see you in six months. Like that's how
Speaker 1: I feel about Jacob Graf.
Speaker 2: I don't agree with that. I actually I let Wonky's
Speaker 2: comment in the chat is definitely right. There definitely wasn't
Speaker 2: enough of a discount. I will like in some drafts.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you there were I'm sure in some there
Speaker 1: was enough people in some drafts where they went, oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't like this collective. You know
Speaker 1: people in those leagues where they said, I don't want
Speaker 1: to go to Jacob DeGroff.
Speaker 2: Maybe the league, all the leagues had the ADPs too
Speaker 2: high and stuff. There wasn't enough of a discount. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kind of just repeat what I've been saying,
Speaker 2: like this is what you paid for, this is what
Speaker 2: you got. He was gonna miss a bunch of we
Speaker 2: projected him to miss like forty to fifty innings already
Speaker 2: ready this year, which was I don't know how many
Speaker 2: starts that equates to. It's plenty of starts, so we
Speaker 2: knew that was going to happen. This one's a little
Speaker 2: bit more serious. I got like a got like a
Speaker 2: little inside source in the Rangers, and before the offici
Speaker 2: anouncement came out, the word out was like he's definitely
Speaker 2: hitting the il and they're unsure about going under the knife.
Speaker 2: And that is like a really really concerning statement right there.
Speaker 2: But I disagree with the whole like, get whatever you
Speaker 2: can get now you have to I think you have
Speaker 2: to build the strategy back up now to your point,
Speaker 2: you could be fearful he's going to come back and
Speaker 2: immediately just break again. He's just gonna fall apart again.
Speaker 1: What would what in the last two and a half
Speaker 1: years tells us that's not the case.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but you're missing what I'm saying. By
Speaker 2: what you might be saying is he's going to come
Speaker 2: back and immediately get hurt. And if that's a case, okay,
Speaker 2: I guess you could take the sunny gray What I'm saying,
Speaker 2: is you get him back. First start, everyone holds their breath.
Speaker 2: Second start, everyone's like, okay, he's good again, and you
Speaker 2: build back up the value and then you can move
Speaker 2: on from it. Like he's having what about every four starts?
Speaker 2: It seems like there's something going on. So when he
Speaker 2: comes back right after that third start, then you can
Speaker 2: get out if you can't handle this.
Speaker 1: I have a I have a metaphor for this situation,
Speaker 1: and as I was listening to you, I came up
Speaker 1: with it. Okay, so yeah, I see your your sign.
Speaker 1: A chat.
Speaker 2: The chat's noticing the sign.
Speaker 1: Now the chat the chest's noticing a lot of things
Speaker 1: and has a lot of good questions, and I want
Speaker 1: to get to them, and I want to stop talking
Speaker 1: about this as soon as we can. But you have kids.
Speaker 1: I have kids, you know, whenever you are, you know,
Speaker 1: you have the little babies when they're little, you know,
Speaker 1: you you give them a little bath. They're so cute, right,
Speaker 1: But there's always that that period where you're drying them
Speaker 1: off and you're holding the little baby, and any given
Speaker 1: time something could happen. I remember one of my you know,
Speaker 1: my oldest daughter, you know, I remember it was giving
Speaker 1: her a bath, wrapped her in a little Elmo twe
Speaker 1: She's so cute, she smelled so good. Right, you take
Speaker 1: the baby out, and the baby poops in the towel.
Speaker 2: Kid, Okay, okay, now, no, no.
Speaker 1: I'm going somewhere with this. And and that's what Jacob
Speaker 1: de Gram is like right now. It's like holding a
Speaker 1: kid right now, at any given time before you get
Speaker 1: them to the table to put the diaper back on
Speaker 1: them and secure what's going on, and so you don't
Speaker 1: know whatever happens, you're secure in it. At any given time,
Speaker 1: it's gonna turn to poop. And that is a thing.
Speaker 1: There's a window between the bathroom and getting them to
Speaker 1: the changing table. That is the window you have here
Speaker 1: with Jacob de Gram, And it's terrifying because it could
Speaker 1: happen at any moment. And there's also this weird comfort level,
Speaker 1: like everyone's super relaxed, everyone just had a bath, everyone's
Speaker 1: in a good mood, and then boom, there it is
Speaker 1: a disaster and then you know what happens. You're right
Speaker 1: back in the bath again, and you gotta clean them
Speaker 1: a second time, and you gotta clean up all the mess.
Speaker 2: These are are you advocating to get rid of your child.
Speaker 1: No, I'm advocating that Jacob de Gram is that danger.
Speaker 1: He's that danger between taking the child in the swaddling
Speaker 1: towel to the changing table, and you know there's that
Speaker 1: that danger in between it. Any minute it's going to happen,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it does. And that is the metaphor right now.
Speaker 1: I want to get to other things not called Jacob
Speaker 1: de Gram because that is an absolute crap.
Speaker 2: Sure, what you're saying is this, please change is diaper?
Speaker 2: Please change Jacob's diaper.
Speaker 1: I might look We're all headed for diaper someday again soon.
Speaker 1: Here's a great one tough Talk with Teacher's podcast that
Speaker 1: sounds like a tough cut down at period four and
Speaker 1: have a discussion with you, young man, Bibby or Alan,
Speaker 1: who would you rather have rest the season?
Speaker 2: Man? Alan was really good another eight strikeout performance. But
Speaker 2: I'm I'm Tanner.
Speaker 1: Pibee, You're I'm a Biby guy too. I want Tom
Speaker 1: both have them both because I think they are better
Speaker 1: than the other crap they have in the rotation.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. They brought up Alan first and there's
Speaker 2: a potential I suppose he could stick but I think
Speaker 2: Byby looks so poised that that's the guy. But I
Speaker 2: think both of them. I actually think both of those guys,
Speaker 2: but I would edge out with Tanner Piby all right.
Speaker 1: And also, yes the free fought sign behind Welsh if
Speaker 1: you're watching on our YouTube channel. So we're getting excited
Speaker 1: about fought. More on fought. In the second, let's get
Speaker 1: through Brent Rocker, ninth homer of the season, nine home
Speaker 1: runs for Brent Rocker. He was still Rooker. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: I get why is it Rocker because he's rocky baseballs
Speaker 1: all over the place. But Brent Rooker just crushing baseballs
Speaker 1: all over the place right now. He was still in
Speaker 1: my way this week, and I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: if somebody finally picked him up. I think everyone was
Speaker 1: just like looking at it, like yeah, right, okay, whatever.
Speaker 1: But I mean Jacksonwinski also another guy too. He's slashing
Speaker 1: two ninety seven, four thirteen, six fifty six with six homers,
Speaker 1: He's got eighteen rubies and four steals. What's going on
Speaker 1: here with Jacksonwinsky? Because this is another one of these
Speaker 1: situations where you're looking at it, you know it's not sustainable.
Speaker 1: But have have you found something here or has he
Speaker 1: discovered something that makes him somebody can feel good about
Speaker 1: rostering rest of season? Or is this just a complete
Speaker 1: bizarre April Anomally.
Speaker 2: It's actually very interesting you bring him up because he
Speaker 2: is going to pop up in my video tomorrow as
Speaker 2: the top one.
Speaker 1: And what is in trade away or trade four? Trade five?
Speaker 2: I wonder trade four. I'm gonna tell you, I guess I
Speaker 2: could have.
Speaker 1: I could have, Well, you could have. I was gonna say,
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to tease the audience, but
Speaker 1: around here we just guilty. No, We're just right at it.
Speaker 2: We're just changing diapers, we're cleaning one drink, getting home,
Speaker 2: Let's go home. That's actually Swensky. The cool thing is
Speaker 2: he might like still be available, And I think in
Speaker 2: CBS League he was still under fifty percent if I
Speaker 2: remember correctly. But yeah, I agree that like it will
Speaker 2: come down, the regression will take place. But the stuff
Speaker 2: that he's doing it's bonker. Like his batting average XBA.
Speaker 2: His expected batting average is lower but top two percent
Speaker 2: of the league, XLUG, top four percent of the league, wOBA,
Speaker 2: top four percent of the league expected wOBA, his walk
Speaker 2: percentage is high. He's starting to lower that K percentage
Speaker 2: and he's hitting the ball crazy hard. Let's get a
Speaker 2: twenty twenty guy. So I think he's a great piece
Speaker 2: right now because I just don't think people have added
Speaker 2: up to the production. And this is one of those
Speaker 2: guys where it's like when you ask, hey, would you
Speaker 2: sell would you sell him? What are you gonna get?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I would be the guy that would
Speaker 2: go and buy Sewinsky. I don't know if people have
Speaker 2: bought in enough because his ownership's not even there. So
Speaker 2: I would go and buy him on the dirt, dirt cheap,
Speaker 2: just because so much of the underlying stuff, even when
Speaker 2: he kind of adjusts, it's very very positive.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break in the action and tell
Speaker 1: you about Fanimal. I love live events, but I hate
Speaker 1: buying tickets the hidden fees they suck. It's like paying
Speaker 1: for a whole other person who's not even there to
Speaker 1: be there with you at the event, and customer service
Speaker 1: is terrible and coordinating with friends is a nightmare. But
Speaker 1: then I discovered Fanimal and Fannamal has tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball,
Speaker 1: you name it, and major League Baseball and plus there's
Speaker 1: no fees. The price you see is actually the price
Speaker 1: you pay. What a concept. You heard it here first.
Speaker 1: Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get
Speaker 1: MLB tickets. And we've all experienced how painful it is
Speaker 1: to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always
Speaker 1: end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing
Speaker 1: down the friends to get reimbursed, and if they flake,
Speaker 1: I'm stuck with the whole bill. But f Animal's patentent
Speaker 1: group purchase makes it easy to split payments with your friends,
Speaker 1: so nobody's left holding the bag and you don't have
Speaker 1: to commit until your friends do. So just pick the seats,
Speaker 1: pick how many tickets you want to pay for yourself,
Speaker 1: and then send the link to your friends. And when
Speaker 1: you join your group, everyone gets started separately and your
Speaker 1: tickets are secured, so you can stack cash by inviting
Speaker 1: friends ten bucks every time someone joins your group. So
Speaker 1: fanomal has amazing customer service to don't take my word
Speaker 1: for it, check out there hundreds and hundreds of five
Speaker 1: star reviews. The next time you need tickets, go to
Speaker 1: fanimal dot com or download the fannimal app and use
Speaker 1: the promo code fanimal MLB. That's fanimal MLB for twenty
Speaker 1: dollars off your first purchase. Check out fnimal and experience more.
Speaker 1: And now back to the app. All right, let's continue
Speaker 1: on here. Let's talk about Clayton Kershaw. A great performance
Speaker 1: on Saturday again, recapping the weekend nine case for him
Speaker 1: in seven innings. Grason Rodriguez, congratulations, nine strikeouts and five
Speaker 1: innings of shutout baseball there, and he gets his big
Speaker 1: w's first of his major league career. Luis Robert, let's
Speaker 1: talk about this Welsh. I am salty this afternoon. Boy.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, I am saw te Luis Robert,
Speaker 1: who I actually had a deal in place for, and
Speaker 1: I said no to it because I was a little
Speaker 1: worried about him going into this year. But I'm worried
Speaker 1: about all the White Sox now official, so this is
Speaker 1: my biggest disappointment. He was pulled for the game because
Speaker 1: his lack of hustle. Layamenez can't hit water if he
Speaker 1: falls out of a boat, and he's always hurt. The
Speaker 1: White Sox feel like a complete and utter train wreck.
Speaker 1: I thought getting rid of the manager last year, maybe
Speaker 1: a new voice, something would break maybe this is him
Speaker 1: breaking these guys out of these bad habits. I don't know.
Speaker 1: But between lance Lynn's performances, between Robert and Amenez who
Speaker 1: are there long like they're locked in here to long
Speaker 1: term contracts these guys, and we all applauded at the time,
Speaker 1: it seemed like a really fiscally responsible thing the White
Speaker 1: Sox did. And now in Dynasty I see questions about
Speaker 1: Louis Robert here in the chat what do you do
Speaker 1: with Robert? Because this is another guy too, is just
Speaker 1: grossly underperformed this year.
Speaker 2: This is one of my guys I was kind of
Speaker 2: out on. It was very I was very vocal about
Speaker 2: Robert because A the injuries. B even when he's healthy,
Speaker 2: what did what did the you know, the per one
Speaker 2: sixty two add up to when we looked at some
Speaker 2: of the stats, and it just it didn't seem insanely
Speaker 2: impressive to me, Like Tim Anderson is more interesting in
Speaker 2: what he can do over a full season, which never
Speaker 2: ever happens. Lol, it's happening again then what Robert would
Speaker 2: have done? So what do you do? I think there's
Speaker 2: still enough trade value. I do think it's a bad look.
Speaker 2: That stupid. It was awful if you didn't see him
Speaker 2: not run out what could have easily been a single.
Speaker 2: And I think there was some rumor of like there
Speaker 2: was a hamstring thing or something like that that was
Speaker 2: out there. But I think there's still enough name value
Speaker 2: that I would jump out as well. I would jump out.
Speaker 2: I'm not in the Luis Robert game. I don't have
Speaker 2: any shares. I really don't want any shares. And how
Speaker 2: hilarious is it that the two best performers on this
Speaker 2: team have been like Lucas Gielito and when Moncata was healthy,
Speaker 2: those were your two big guys. You know, we're getting
Speaker 2: back to Andrew vaugh Andrevon was very good this week
Speaker 2: and with that walk off shot. But yeah, I'm out
Speaker 2: on a lot of the White Sox, but I have been,
Speaker 2: so this is kind of me a reiterating you.
Speaker 1: Want me to make he depressed even further. Lewis Robert
Speaker 1: has a six to sixty one ops. That's lower than
Speaker 1: Adam Frazier and Cabrian Hayes. You like them apples, how's
Speaker 1: that for you? It's also it's also higher than Bobby
Speaker 1: Witt Junior, but we don't want to talk about that.
Speaker 2: That's na no, no, no move on.
Speaker 1: Diamondback's calling up more prospects. Dominic Fletcher show come to
Speaker 1: the big leaguees hitting three twenty three, four seventeen, five
Speaker 1: to fifty nine with three bombs on the year. Corbick
Speaker 1: Carroll banged up the knee a little bit. It's just
Speaker 1: the knee bruise. He's just gonna be fine. To give
Speaker 1: him a couple days off. I'm not worried about this.
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on Dominic Fletchers have any stream appeal to you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I mean, this was one of
Speaker 2: the he was actually one of the reasons why I
Speaker 2: have many reasons I thought Jake McCarthy could be sent
Speaker 2: down because those outfielders are playing really well. There. It's
Speaker 2: a good defender. This is David Fletcher's brother, by the way,
Speaker 2: Don Fletcher. Good bat good, probably more of a point
Speaker 2: leeks guy can get a little bit of homers can
Speaker 2: definitely he's in this whole big crew of guys that
Speaker 2: can run. I'm not like overly excited. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I would actually stream unless it was like a
Speaker 2: big big league because, like you said, probably only going
Speaker 2: to be for like a couple of days. Probably get
Speaker 2: Carroll back either Wednesday or they've got like today off
Speaker 2: and Thursday. Maybe Carol is back on Friday.
Speaker 1: All right, A couple questions here. Let's do these rapid fire,
Speaker 1: hell or high water trade Robert for mateo you want
Speaker 1: to dig that trade? Nah?
Speaker 2: I can't do that one. I get it. I get
Speaker 2: what you're doing there, and get it. Do you know
Speaker 2: what in redraft? No? No, I still can't do it.
Speaker 2: But it's a lot closer.
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it. I ain't mad if
Speaker 1: you look if your season's hanging on by a thread
Speaker 1: right now, I get it. I'm not saying do it,
Speaker 1: but I get it. Here's another one from EWE two
Speaker 1: K we would to pick up this week? Strom Justiah Gray,
Speaker 1: Logan Allen or aj Puck Interesting.
Speaker 2: I'd have to go look at the matchups. The matchups
Speaker 2: probably would play a little bit.
Speaker 1: Of a rom first, but Logan Allen would be the
Speaker 1: second choice for me.
Speaker 2: Alan and I was about to say Alan and Stromer
Speaker 2: the top two. I probably might play like a little
Speaker 2: bit of I just again, I just don't know what
Speaker 2: the matchups are off the top of my head, but
Speaker 2: those are my two big I don't I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: worry too much about I mean, if Gray has like
Speaker 2: a really good matchup, I could consider him, but I
Speaker 2: still wouldn't go over allan instrom All right.
Speaker 1: There you have it. All right, let's continue on here
Speaker 1: with the Sunny Gray who I mentioned before. I don't
Speaker 1: know I want Sunny Gray because he had six more
Speaker 1: innings seven strikeouts on Sunday Might Picture of the month.
Speaker 1: He was four and oh in April zero point seven
Speaker 1: to seven ERA and six starts. Not too bad. Here's
Speaker 1: all the injury recap. So Jose your KUITI Sunday Night
Speaker 1: start left due to shoulder swords. Keep an eye on
Speaker 1: this one. Look, Haunter Brown has been a revelation in
Speaker 1: that rotation him, Framber Valdez and Christian Javier is a
Speaker 1: really good three. Your queity is important, though, so keep
Speaker 1: a close eye. Hopefully this is not a major issue. Tyler,
Speaker 1: Molly's gonna miss at least four weeks. Posterior impingement and
Speaker 1: flexer pronator strain. So impingements can be very painful, but
Speaker 1: hopefully this is something that with rest pronators. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: nothing like her, you know, did you get your pronator detailed?
Speaker 1: When you were at the car place this weekend.
Speaker 2: No, but I just turned forty, so I do know I.
Speaker 1: Have to convince, gotta get somebody. Look at your pronator.
Speaker 1: I hurt Carol. Again, we mentioned he was out because
Speaker 1: of the leaping catch to the sixth inning that he
Speaker 1: made in that game. But again everything seems to be okay.
Speaker 1: It's just a neat contusion. Brendan Woodruff follow up, MRI.
Speaker 1: I was very positive. Oh great, awesome, it's great. That
Speaker 1: feels so much better about life now. Tim Anderson will
Speaker 1: return on Tuesday. Also, Taylor Tremmell is up with the
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariners. He was hitting and well in the rehab assignment.
Speaker 1: By the way, I don't know if this matters to you.
Speaker 1: Welsh three two dingers, three steals. He played left field yesterday,
Speaker 1: batted six against the Blue Jays.
Speaker 2: Made a great catch too.
Speaker 1: Is you know Tremmell is one of these again, very
Speaker 1: post post type sleeper guys in a deeper league. You
Speaker 1: speculating on this guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish I had the exact stat in front
Speaker 2: of me, but it was like the Seattle Mariners DH
Speaker 2: has produced like a sub two hundred batting average or something.
Speaker 2: On the year, so they're desperate for just more live
Speaker 2: bats to be out there. I think Tremmell is that.
Speaker 2: And Tremmell is such a different prospect. I've had such
Speaker 2: an interesting history with him too, back when he was
Speaker 2: a Reds prospect, and he's one of the nicest human
Speaker 2: beings on the planet. And he is one of like
Speaker 2: two major league you know now major league players that
Speaker 2: like I've seen over spans of time that recognizes me
Speaker 2: and we chat, and like his body has changed. He's
Speaker 2: a different type of player. The stolen bases are something
Speaker 2: I always worry aren't going to be part of his game,
Speaker 2: but it was really nice to see that he was
Speaker 2: stealing on the rehab assignment. The new rules kind of
Speaker 2: work in his favor, and he definitely has at least
Speaker 2: twenty home run power, I think at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, because he's also a good defender. He's just
Speaker 2: kind of got a spot to play for a while
Speaker 2: between the need DH and just overall you know, defensive
Speaker 2: vacuumen that it has.
Speaker 1: And Jillio was doing a little bit of a back
Speaker 1: issue too, so a little extra abs potentially and.
Speaker 2: There for him too.
Speaker 1: Now somebody in the chat said that I think it
Speaker 1: was Joeyspoons says, I look like dar Salem, who is
Speaker 1: an actor from the New Guy Ritchie movie Thank You.
Speaker 1: He's obviously a relatively handsome fellow. This is much better
Speaker 1: than want to usually get. But more to the point,
Speaker 1: I said next time that Welsh was clean shaven. Here
Speaker 1: on the YouTube channel, finally show the picture again. There
Speaker 1: it is, so take a good look, drink it in.
Speaker 1: There's Rico Broni of the Diamondbacks and one two three,
Speaker 1: and there's the Welsh. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Joe's like, hey, you look like this old, ugly bastard.
Speaker 2: Old look like this model. I look like this foreign
Speaker 2: model that I look like Darseelene.
Speaker 1: I am Darcelene.
Speaker 2: He's wearing Prada. Is it is so crazy? I look
Speaker 2: like dar Selene. But hey, you look like this ugly mug.
Speaker 1: I'm I don't say I look like Tarsaline. Someone said
Speaker 1: I look like Darslee.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like, listen any bold guy with the
Speaker 2: facial hair. Joe's gone, We're a diamond dozen. Joe, Joe
Speaker 2: and the who is it? The disturbed singer like that's
Speaker 2: the crazy one. What's is that? The guy with the
Speaker 2: yeah that's.
Speaker 1: Right there he is. It's David Draymond, which we did
Speaker 1: the side by side you and we have a we
Speaker 1: have a Mayor Welsh myself have a fun little thread
Speaker 1: going in slack and there's there may or may not
Speaker 1: be some really funny side by side pictures of me
Speaker 1: and David Draymond. We'll share that later. More injury news
Speaker 1: to get to. Bryce Harper is set to see a
Speaker 1: doctor for a fall up today. If all goes well,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be clear to join the Phillies lineup on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: This is absurd. This is huge news.
Speaker 2: By the I mean, I tell me, I actually had
Speaker 2: to scroll our news here. Why we didn't have this
Speaker 2: at the very very well, because I.
Speaker 1: Get it, Because it's insane. That's why. Because I'm burying
Speaker 1: the lead for a reason because I love Bryce Harper,
Speaker 1: He's an absolute animal. But Welsh, he was supposed to
Speaker 1: come back in July. It's May one.
Speaker 2: Nuts, it's like one hundred and eighty days off of
Speaker 2: a Tommy John surgery that he's coming back.
Speaker 1: I think it is a bad idea.
Speaker 2: I think this is bad, okay, But why because the
Speaker 2: only thing is is he will solely dh he will
Speaker 2: not be throwing this the swinging motion. I guess, of
Speaker 2: course can be back. We saw it when I was
Speaker 2: like Logan o'hapi, who hurt his whatever when he and
Speaker 2: he's out for the year.
Speaker 1: He sprayed this, he sprayed this pronator.
Speaker 2: Or whatever, and so like, sure, that is a possibility,
Speaker 2: but I think, I mean, they've obviously got an extensive,
Speaker 2: extensive work that it's like what the injury's dealing with.
Speaker 2: The swinging is not something that is going to like
Speaker 2: heavily aggravate it. And Harper said he doesn't want to
Speaker 2: do any at bats and the miners and waste it.
Speaker 2: So that's why he's coming back. I think it's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: It is early. I don't know if it's like dumb.
Speaker 2: I mean, the team can use some more offense. You
Speaker 2: do you think this is going to lead to him
Speaker 2: like being re injured. Is that your problem.
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about it. I'm concerned he's pushing too fast,
Speaker 1: and I applaud him for it. He's an absolute beast
Speaker 1: of an athlete and he's such a competitor and that's
Speaker 1: why I love Harper. And you know, when he was young,
Speaker 1: it turned a lot of people off because he's such
Speaker 1: a fiery competitor, and people took it to mean that
Speaker 1: he's obnoxious. He's not obnoxious. George Brett was obnoxious either.
Speaker 1: He was just a fiery competitor. And if you George
Speaker 1: Brett was on your team, you loved it. He wasn't
Speaker 1: you hated him. That's how Bryce Harper is too. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't I never found Harper to be a dirty
Speaker 1: player or somebody that was, you know, Maudi to other
Speaker 1: teams and like that's.
Speaker 2: Kind of like more Machado, Like I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even Mado is an unlikable guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I've ever had percent issue with Harper.
Speaker 2: I guess Harp is just good. So people, if you're
Speaker 2: not design your I think don't like him.
Speaker 1: But speaking of coming back to Tyler, Glass now also
Speaker 1: been cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment. That's
Speaker 1: so there you go.
Speaker 2: This is for Tag Bradley, by the way, moving forward
Speaker 2: because you know those Rays got to work them on
Speaker 2: a five days schedule and they're going to bring back class. Now,
Speaker 2: just throw that up here.
Speaker 1: Here's a fun tweet too. I want to get to
Speaker 1: this too, because as I'm sure Frank Stamfele will you know,
Speaker 1: told you over Friday. You know, we're starting to look
Speaker 1: at the Yankees here, starting to appel a little deeper.
Speaker 1: This ganky lineup is ugly. There's a great tweet here
Speaker 1: from rational Yankee fan Montas seven five million, Travino four
Speaker 1: point one million dollars in twenty one million, Hicks, ten million,
Speaker 1: IKF six million. That's forty eight million dollars on these
Speaker 1: players this year that they're spending. And I know that
Speaker 1: the is they can afford it. But in an offseason,
Speaker 1: you know, two years ago, where there was a lot
Speaker 1: of other players out there on the board, they did
Speaker 1: kind of patchwork a lot of little things together. And
Speaker 1: I know they're waiting for the young kids to come up,
Speaker 1: and the young kids are coming through again. But you know,
Speaker 1: if we're kind of sitting here, it's something to me
Speaker 1: that Brian Cashman has held this job for as many
Speaker 1: years as he had or what are we do on
Speaker 1: twenty five years now of Brian cashm the right, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's got to be close to that or thereabouts
Speaker 1: because he took over in that like all around like
Speaker 1: ninety six, right, I think because I want to say
Speaker 1: stick Michael did not see the Yankees win as GM.
Speaker 1: I don't think he. Maybe it was the first one.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I think we'd have to
Speaker 1: go back that far. But this is such an odd
Speaker 1: thing in sports, especially in baseball. You don't see people
Speaker 1: hold these GM jobs for this amount of time. Typically
Speaker 1: you look at this Yankee lineup, But what they've got
Speaker 1: right now, does this feel like a team that's gonna
Speaker 1: win the East?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good question there. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of bad dead money. I also think, like when
Speaker 2: I'm looking at that, like you know, the dead money
Speaker 2: of like IKF and stuff like that. I also think
Speaker 2: most of these moves were a couple of years back,
Speaker 2: and they now have this kind of clear path of
Speaker 2: these young guys that are going to contribute. Now, you know,
Speaker 2: you've got Oswealt, Praza, You've got Cabrera, and you've got
Speaker 2: a couple of these guys that they can start coming up.
Speaker 2: So they're not giving stupid contracts. What was the money
Speaker 2: like giving Hicks ten million dollars so they can do
Speaker 2: it to some of the young guys. So they're in
Speaker 2: a weird transitional period I think it's hard to see
Speaker 2: right now because it's like Stanton's out for what another month,
Speaker 2: Judge is a little bit banged up, he's not in
Speaker 2: the lineup. They're not scoring runs early on in games,
Speaker 2: rotations a little bit in flux. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: Luisa Varno is still not out there. Dimingo. Herman's actually
Speaker 2: much better pitcher than being given credit for, at least
Speaker 2: like what the surface level stats are. So like, no
Speaker 2: I got. The easy answer to say is no, they
Speaker 2: don't look like the best team in the East, especially
Speaker 2: or in the AL, especially with you know, the Rays
Speaker 2: being who they are and the Orioles coming back up.
Speaker 2: But this is a team that in a snap can
Speaker 2: be and they've brought some high in town.
Speaker 1: Well, Carlos Rodon needs to get back if that's gonna
Speaker 1: be the case too. Three up and three down. Nady
Speaker 1: Valdi again, Man, I hope you Butler. When we did
Speaker 1: that whole big thing about Nati Valdi on the show
Speaker 1: and I did a video on it, you did, we
Speaker 1: were just all over this. A of aaldi eight strikeouts
Speaker 1: complete game shout out Saturday. Kevin Gospen career had thirteen
Speaker 1: k's on Saturday and Nelson Cruz again Mexico City. They're
Speaker 1: gonna get a baseball team at some point. I think
Speaker 1: Nelson Cruise.
Speaker 2: I they my five twenty runs a game. I'm not
Speaker 2: sure if the elevation stuff was.
Speaker 1: It was fun though. I mean, he also got Soto
Speaker 1: hitting a home run, You got many Chado hitting a
Speaker 1: couple of home runs, and then he went back to
Speaker 1: over four with four k's yesterday, so he made the
Speaker 1: downs along with Brady Singer eight earned runs. So I
Speaker 1: guess the Brady Singer was not back after the last
Speaker 1: start doing two thirds. Oviaedo, who everybody's been loving, there
Speaker 1: was his blow up start seven earned runs. Speaking of
Speaker 1: upsetting things, Welsh, I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 1: This is another upsetting thing before we get the prize picks.
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about like some of the worst
Speaker 1: statues ever of people. We saw the Christian.
Speaker 2: Although god, I know what you're gonna show.
Speaker 1: We saw the what else? It was the the female
Speaker 1: soccer player, Oh gosh, from the national team, Brady Chestain.
Speaker 1: I think she had a terrible one. Look at this.
Speaker 1: Look at this Juan Soto statue. What in the hell
Speaker 1: is going on here?
Speaker 2: You know you know what those.
Speaker 1: Speaks for itself. Please, this is why you have to
Speaker 1: subscribe to Fancy pros MLB on YouTube. If you're just
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast, you're doing yourself a disservice because look,
Speaker 1: this is disturbing here.
Speaker 2: That's that left one. That that is current one. So
Speaker 2: that's one Soto hitting two eleven.
Speaker 1: That's what one sort of looks like the eighty games
Speaker 1: as a padre Wan Soto and.
Speaker 2: All the right MVP one Soto's on the right. This
Speaker 2: is the current status one. So that is the most
Speaker 2: I I don't mean, but like that looks like that
Speaker 2: was made by like a bunch of like second vaders.
Speaker 1: It's horrendous. Let's get to some Prize picks again. Use
Speaker 1: that promo code leading off, get one hundred percent of
Speaker 1: pos match up two hundred dollars. Download the Prize Picks
Speaker 1: app or just go to prize pickstock put that promo
Speaker 1: code leading off in Welsh. For me, the prize picks.
Speaker 1: I got Spencer Strider over on the eight strikeouts against
Speaker 1: the Mets that's starting soon, everybody, Tony Gonsolin four and
Speaker 1: a half. It is a very small number on the case,
Speaker 1: over and Luis Garcia pitching out seventeen and a half.
Speaker 1: I'm going the over. He's a very efficient guy. Your
Speaker 1: prize picks for the day.
Speaker 2: I like those, Only one Gonsolin's a little one that
Speaker 2: makes me.
Speaker 1: It's just such a small number. Four to half.
Speaker 2: That's a small number. It's just he does that to
Speaker 2: one innings. He struck out one last one. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go with Vlad total bases. He's got Corey Klueber's number.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Ross stripling and Luis Garcia under
Speaker 2: one run through the first inning, so there's a little
Speaker 2: in our in r Fi Nurphy there. And then Alex
Speaker 2: Bregman's score Fantasy score under seven and a half, so
Speaker 2: not afraid to go under. So again it is Lad
Speaker 2: total basis strippling, Garcia no runs first inning, and Alex
Speaker 2: Bregman score Fantasy score seven and a half under. That's
Speaker 2: my prize picks for today.
Speaker 1: All right, betting wise, light day today, folks. It's just
Speaker 1: one of those days. It's not a lot of g
Speaker 1: I even like so Mackenzie Gore six and a half strikeouts,
Speaker 1: it's a big number. I know he was good last time,
Speaker 1: but it's like a crazy here going under on that
Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez point five RBI. You're getting plus one fifty
Speaker 1: at Bettingpros dot Com. On this Manny Machado point five RBI,
Speaker 1: it's plus one fifty five maybe at least drive in
Speaker 1: a run. I don't know, Welsh, what do you have
Speaker 1: for everybody from the betting side for today's games? All right?
Speaker 2: These three I really like one of them won't show
Speaker 2: up on the Betting Pros group. If you guys have
Speaker 2: signed up, you guys can go and check out the
Speaker 2: Betting Pros Group. You can join up with us and
Speaker 2: a ton we've had huge growth on that. If everybody
Speaker 2: wants to come and check that out. You can see
Speaker 2: all the bets, but one of these you want to see.
Speaker 2: So my three favorite bets, I've already laid them all
Speaker 2: Giants plus a half run versus Houston through the first five.
Speaker 2: So the first five innings, I'm going with Ross strippling
Speaker 2: that is even money. Houston scoring under one run over
Speaker 2: their last three. San Francisco is scoring three and a
Speaker 2: half through their first five so far on the year.
Speaker 2: So I really like the Giants to hold and even
Speaker 2: if they're tied, that is still going to be a win.
Speaker 2: My favorite k prop is Luke Weaver. It's actually moved
Speaker 2: up a tiny bit. I took it last night. Four
Speaker 2: and a half strikeouts over minus one forty. I know
Speaker 2: it's the Padres, but the Padres they strike out. Luke
Speaker 2: Weaver gives up runs. He's given up a bunch of
Speaker 2: runs in his last couple of games, but he's still
Speaker 2: struck out like seven eight, so he's still getting his
Speaker 2: strikeouts in there. So I like attacking this and Toronto
Speaker 2: team total runs two and a half. I'm taking the over.
Speaker 2: That has been definitely my specialty. Unfortunately, again it has
Speaker 2: not been tracked on the betting pros, but if we
Speaker 2: talk about it here, that's the reason to be here.
Speaker 2: Team total runs, Toronto two and a half over. Those
Speaker 2: are my three favorite bets today.
Speaker 1: Nice alliteration on that too. Also, it's fun is so rare.

Speaker 1: DFS Wise Drew Smiley nine point three, Luis Garcia at
Speaker 1: nine point six, stacking up today on the Dodgers and
Speaker 1: the Padres. Value plays today. Miguel Vargas might be coming
Speaker 1: around a little bit two point six, Matt Carpenter's starting
Speaker 1: to spring a hotter bat to two point seven, and
Speaker 1: Dubon at two point eight. Home run call today, I've
Speaker 1: got JR. Don Alvarez is my home run call. Welsh.
Speaker 1: I don't see either of us on the leader board,
Speaker 1: but primetime all the way up to fourteen, so that's
Speaker 1: the primetime number one Welsh. Where are you going with
Speaker 1: your home run call today?
Speaker 2: Well, I am up to four now. I did get
Speaker 2: my Remember I had Riley, I was really on Friday,
Speaker 2: and then I had Tatis for the weekend. So I'm
Speaker 2: up at four right now. So we've got to get going,
Speaker 2: and I'm going with my total base comment ago with
Speaker 2: Vladimirgrero Junior up against Corey Kluber. Corey Kluber has given
Speaker 2: up at least one homer in every single game started
Speaker 2: this year. He's got a couple of multi ones. I
Speaker 2: think Toronto's going to it in on it. He also
Speaker 2: kind of owns Creek cluber with a near five hundred BVP,
Speaker 2: So Vladimir Gerr Junior, that's my home run call today.
Speaker 2: I'm going for five.
