Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros MLB. This is leading
Speaker 1: off live. We are here on our Twitch, Twitch dot
Speaker 1: tv slash Fantasy Pros. It's me and of course the
Speaker 1: Welsh and all of you, the Peanuts and the Cracker
Speaker 1: Jacks Welsh. Before we get into baseball today, we got
Speaker 1: a light slate of games, but a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: to get to. A ton of injury news is breaking
Speaker 1: to a lot of stuff we're gonna go through. I
Speaker 1: want to tell a story this morning, and I want
Speaker 1: you to see. I want to get your temperature on
Speaker 1: this and tell me was I right? Was I wrong?
Speaker 1: As is my want my normal routine, I get up
Speaker 1: very early, usually around six am. I put the show
Speaker 1: together for the day. I do a couple things, get
Speaker 1: the kiddo's off to school right, go to the gym
Speaker 1: for a couple hours, come back, do the show right.
Speaker 1: While's at the gym today and I was on a
Speaker 1: machine and it was a guy across from me on
Speaker 1: a machine. And to give you a visual image of
Speaker 1: what this guy looked like, he looked like, I would
Speaker 1: say his face was similar to the character Hoggle from
Speaker 1: the movie Labyrinth. Now, if you don't know who that is.
Speaker 1: You google it, you get this guy's face. I'm not
Speaker 1: a big germaphobe person. I'm not like germophobe like, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty good about that stuff like things are gross, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's gross. Not a big germaphobe I did. However, watch
Speaker 1: this guy right across from me. He's on like a
Speaker 1: it's a machine where it's doing like the squats and stuff,
Speaker 1: and you're holding the handles right and he sneezes, doesn't
Speaker 1: cover anything, just sneezes out in the air, and I'm
Speaker 1: like Jesus, all right. He then goes back to his
Speaker 1: next set, sneezes again, this time in his hands, and
Speaker 1: takes his hands and puts them right back on the handles. Now,
Speaker 1: mind you, there are these these spray bottles everywhere, and
Speaker 1: he's got the towel that you can get at the
Speaker 1: gym and then you put the towels in the thing
Speaker 1: and they wash his towels and I'm waiting for him
Speaker 1: to wipe it down. Doesn't wipe it down. He moves
Speaker 1: on to the next thing. Now he's right across from
Speaker 1: the old station. I go all the way, get the
Speaker 1: spray bottle, wipe the handles down. And look at him
Speaker 1: as I'm doing it. I basically germ shamed him. Was
Speaker 1: I wrong or was I in the right to germ
Speaker 1: shame this person?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Fire him into the sun. That's those are those savages.
Speaker 2: Don't need to be here. Fire him into the sun.
Speaker 1: Joe, you were right, So knucking is with me if
Speaker 1: you're in the comment. And I mean, and I looked
Speaker 1: at him, and I gave him like the Larry David
Speaker 1: like I'm cleaning them, and I'm looking at the handles
Speaker 1: and I'm cleaning. I'm looking at the guy like really, really.
Speaker 2: Are you croud of this? There? I would give deaths.
Speaker 1: So I completely I mean, look, it's one thing. You sneeze, Okay,
Speaker 1: he sneeze. This happened when you do the second knees
Speaker 1: go to your hands and then go to the handles
Speaker 1: and then you don't do the wipe, incorrigible like And
Speaker 1: so I completely shamed. I shamed germophobe cleaned something today
Speaker 1: and I just didn't know how to feel about it.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to get your point of view.
Speaker 2: You were, you were in the right. We're gonna shame
Speaker 2: some pictures, We're gonna shame some players here and.
Speaker 1: Just shame some people.
Speaker 2: You know what, All of them are in the right,
Speaker 2: all of them.
Speaker 3: Forward to four minutes when the show really starts. He
Speaker 3: should take you two comments. Let's get to the headlines.
Speaker 3: Sometimes I need validation. Also needing validation, Sandi al Contra,
Speaker 3: Oh god, Welsh. We were on the Q and a
Speaker 3: live stream.
Speaker 1: If you missed it on our YouTube channel, you can
Speaker 1: go back and watch six runs we were on live
Speaker 1: during this four innings for him. No decision for the Pirates.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not good. Seven hits, allowed four earned
Speaker 1: runs in a six consecutive start. He threw just forty
Speaker 1: four of seventy one pitches for strikes. The velocity is
Speaker 1: still fine, like that's still kind of where it was
Speaker 1: pre Tommy John. But somehow he got one swinging strike
Speaker 1: in the Kaire contest. I don't even know if that's possible.
Speaker 1: Had to do. He does get the Rockies next Tuesday.
Speaker 1: If he's not good against the Rockies, I say, even
Speaker 1: in twelve team leagues, I think you could drop him
Speaker 1: at this point. They have no keeper value. But I
Speaker 1: want to start with the redraft scenarios. We said in
Speaker 1: ten team already, but now we're in the twelve. If
Speaker 1: he's not good against the Rockies, Welsh, I think that's
Speaker 1: it for me. What do you think it might already
Speaker 1: be yet it is?
Speaker 2: It's tough to do what he did. Like, it's funny
Speaker 2: when you go to Savant and you look like the
Speaker 2: game score, you'll see like the leaders, and then you
Speaker 2: see here are the leaders from that game as far
Speaker 2: by the way, yeah that's a live stream joke. But
Speaker 2: you go and look at the swing and whiff leaders
Speaker 2: in that game. Number one was David Morgan with six.
Speaker 2: Number two was Ronnie Henriquez with three, and he wanted
Speaker 2: to say his name right, And there's a couple other
Speaker 2: guys and you notice the fifth highest had two swing
Speaker 2: and whiffs. So you're like, did I pick the wrong game?
Speaker 2: That know, because as you mentioned, Sandy had one whiff
Speaker 2: in that entire game and it was on his change up, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, here's a big problem. Twenty seven percent
Speaker 2: zone percentage. The number one pitch you throw doesn't even
Speaker 2: have a thirty percent getting into the zone rate. Well,
Speaker 2: guess what, it's gonna make everything else stinky. And it did.
Speaker 2: No whiff's on the fastball, none on the sinker, his
Speaker 2: four seam fastball had a thirteen percent called strike, and
Speaker 2: with percentage, that's an important one to look at. Thirteen
Speaker 2: percent is crazy. He has nothing out like it doesn't
Speaker 2: matter with the velocity. It reminds me of the old
Speaker 2: Hunter Green thing where it was like, great, you could
Speaker 2: throw a hundred, but you throw it right down the plate.
Speaker 2: There is nothing that these guys are worried about. The
Speaker 2: change up, is it? Yeah, the change up doesn't hit
Speaker 2: the zone. You don't need to offer at it. Then
Speaker 2: he throws two other fastball like four steamer sinkers, and
Speaker 2: there's just like a little bit of slider and curveball.
Speaker 2: Hatters have adjusted. He doesn't have the stuff. I don't
Speaker 2: know what the fix is. He doesn't look right. It
Speaker 2: seems like if there was a fix to be had,
Speaker 2: like they should be open to it. But I don't
Speaker 2: think they have time, and I don't think they're going
Speaker 2: to figure it out. And you said it on the
Speaker 2: live stream. We need a Phantomiel stint. We need him
Speaker 2: to figure something out, change the mix.
Speaker 1: Do something because we're gonna talk about him later. He's
Speaker 1: coming back in one more rehab start. So I made
Speaker 1: it yesterday. He was good. So we're talking about again,
Speaker 1: he'll have that start against the Rockies. See if he's
Speaker 1: bad against the Rockies, the il stn't happening, and Urperess
Speaker 1: is taking that spot in the rotation, just temporarily to
Speaker 1: see how things go mentally, get a break physically, get
Speaker 1: a break, Let him work on some stuff technically, let
Speaker 1: him work on you know, some mechanical stuff too. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe that's it.
Speaker 2: This cased him the best change up in baseball. This
Speaker 2: is like the best change up in all of baseball.
Speaker 2: And that change up just had a thirteen percent with
Speaker 2: free he threw.
Speaker 1: His economic Yeah, it troll everything. He was such a
Speaker 1: great he was. It was a throwback to the art
Speaker 1: of pitching. And now he looks like somebody just throw away.
Speaker 2: I think you can dump him in twelve too. Like,
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: It is literally the best matchup you could possibly have
Speaker 2: coming up next against Colorado, and that would be the
Speaker 2: litmus test. But if you need to move on now,
Speaker 2: I think we're we're far beyond like needing to hold
Speaker 2: on to him anymore. We don't know insight when things
Speaker 2: are gonna get fixed. I will say, though, he really
Speaker 2: does fall apart later in games, and that's been a
Speaker 2: big thing. And I don't know if it's the pitch
Speaker 2: mix that he uses there, but it's like fourth inning,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like with the Allan. Yeah, Gallon falls
Speaker 2: apart later in the game as well.
Speaker 1: A contrac Gosmin or Nola ten team rotal keeper. See
Speaker 1: this is the problem too, like in my home league
Speaker 1: where I have him, he's a keeper, or he was
Speaker 1: a keeper. He was like a two dollars salary guy
Speaker 1: because I picked him up, and you know, you hate
Speaker 1: to say, I'm not just going to abandon that value,
Speaker 1: but I mean, I don't know, man, I mean, Gosbin's
Speaker 1: a little older. Nola is probably the one of the
Speaker 1: three that I would keep.
Speaker 2: He's a suck. He is santander ay alcohol contra.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think he is. I think he'll come
Speaker 1: back from there again. II else, didn't you know you
Speaker 1: come back? And Okay, I would take Nola of those three,
Speaker 1: but Gosmin is the most immediately helpful right now, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. What do you think about your prescence? He
Speaker 1: was trying to mimic a contra. I'm not worried about that.
Speaker 1: He looks terrific so far. Is it time to drop
Speaker 1: Alcontra McClain again, we've said in ten teams yes, and
Speaker 1: twelve team we're getting to that point. It's getting to
Speaker 1: a cutting season because you can't go eighty games with
Speaker 1: players who have been terrible. George Kirby also terrible. I
Speaker 1: hate what we really started out. Don't worry. It gets better.
Speaker 1: We're starting off some negativity on the show, but it.
Speaker 2: Will get just shaming people.
Speaker 1: I'm not clean handlebars and give you the stink guy.
Speaker 1: At the same time, Dude, this is gross. It was
Speaker 1: a gross looking huge you know what. I don't care
Speaker 1: who it was. I don't care if it was like
Speaker 1: some jacked dude or some pretty girl. You sneeze on
Speaker 1: your hands and you touch the things. It's gross. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's just directly gross.
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
Speaker 1: Ill. George Kirby Ill, six runs, five innings, a loss
Speaker 1: to the Nats. First start wasn't good. This one wasn't
Speaker 1: good either. Uh, your panic level on, George Kirby. You're
Speaker 1: a Kirby guy, Welsh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm less of a Kirby guy than I would
Speaker 2: Last year. I was like the Kirby guy, and that
Speaker 2: did not work out. I'm I've gotten annoyed with Kirby,
Speaker 2: especially his insistence on like I don't want guys, and
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like that's taken away from the
Speaker 2: swinging missness of his game. But I'm a little bit
Speaker 2: worried about it. Vila was down kind of across the board.
Speaker 2: His sinker was down a mile per hour. He's not
Speaker 2: throwing his split finger like he did last year. It
Speaker 2: looks like and that all the velo just across the
Speaker 2: board was down. As far as the effectiveness goes, he
Speaker 2: had kind of like the mix that you want, and
Speaker 2: he runs you know, heavy zone on his fastball and slider.
Speaker 2: His curve and his splitter both were like really low zoned,
Speaker 2: and guys weren't offering at it. So it's got to
Speaker 2: be something about like how he's pitching right now that
Speaker 2: you know, those offerings that are supposed to get the whiffs,
Speaker 2: they're so far out it's not inducing anything. And he
Speaker 2: has to hit the zone all the time that guys
Speaker 2: are making contact on him. You just you need some
Speaker 2: more swinging with stuff. And I thought the splitter usage
Speaker 2: would be that for him. It doesn't seem to be
Speaker 2: up there. He doesn't seem to feel right. I don't
Speaker 2: know's it's two games in. I'm way more worried about
Speaker 2: Sandy than I am Kirby. But based on that question,
Speaker 2: it's one hundred percent Kirby rest of season. It is
Speaker 2: two starts coming off of this injury. It's without no question, Kirby.
Speaker 1: You are way more I see. I'm not without question
Speaker 1: on this one. Cody and Anaheim as asking Kirby or
Speaker 1: Warren rest of season. Warren's been really good, especially if
Speaker 1: this last stretch with the strikeouts washed. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've noticed the last couple starts for Will Warren
Speaker 1: strikeout ry wise has been terrific. I think he's at
Speaker 1: twenty six strikeouts and fourteen eight something to that effect.
Speaker 1: It was kind of like, WHOA. I didn't quite even
Speaker 1: realize that because I was looking at him in a league,
Speaker 1: just you know, doing some research off. I'll pull up
Speaker 1: the Will Warren stats here over his last seven games
Speaker 1: to just be super specific. But I am not slammed
Speaker 1: on Kirby on this at all. Warren pitches for the Yankees.
Speaker 1: It's a good situation.
Speaker 2: Why are you doing this to all then, just say,
Speaker 2: George Kirby, But.
Speaker 1: I say, I just want to pull up the stats.
Speaker 1: Here we go, last seven games here for Will Warren
Speaker 1: A three six ERA, thirty five innings, fifty one strikeouts.
Speaker 1: I sold them short a little bit, eleven walks, a
Speaker 1: one point two zero whip. I'm fine keeping Will Warren.
Speaker 1: I'm not waiting for Kirby to figure things out. I'm
Speaker 1: just we're on opposite ends on that one. This is
Speaker 1: this is seven. You know, we're looking at staring down
Speaker 1: the barrel at seventy games into the season now, and
Speaker 1: my patience level is just way thinner lands of colors.
Speaker 1: Let's get to something positive, shall we? Twelve strikeouts? So
Speaker 1: what is this going to do to him and his
Speaker 1: free agent budget spenditure this weekend after the twelve strikeout
Speaker 1: performance because he's STI floating around in a ton of leagues.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's going to make it go quite high.
Speaker 2: And you know what, I'm kind of here for it
Speaker 2: on the season. The numbers, I mean, this was like
Speaker 2: the penultimate game for him, but he's only had one
Speaker 2: that one bat outing and it was the second one
Speaker 2: up against the Reds. But the last couple you know,
Speaker 2: he's stacked up his innings. He has twenty strikeouts over
Speaker 2: his last two starts. Walks are kind of a constant
Speaker 2: issue with him, you know, back in the day when
Speaker 2: he's running those like three eras good strikeout numbers. He's
Speaker 2: up to twenty eight point six percent k percentage. The
Speaker 2: walks are still way too high, and it's like it's
Speaker 2: really tough to see which direction this is going to go.
Speaker 2: But because he got those innings up and he was
Speaker 2: able to get to six, you can see the strikeout stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, his stuff yesterday was absolutely dominant, really really
Speaker 2: heavy slider. His curveball had as a fifty eight percent
Speaker 2: whiff rate on the season so far. So those breaking
Speaker 2: pitches get it. I think he's worth spending on, and
Speaker 2: I would, but I don't know if I'm willing to
Speaker 2: break the bank because a guy still has a five
Speaker 2: VRA expected over four. He is the most unhealthy of unhealthy.
Speaker 2: I mean he he lives on the il.
Speaker 1: So I don't know how to start the bidding where this.
Speaker 1: Let's see, you've got fifty dollars left in your fab
Speaker 1: budget out of one hundred of this junker in the
Speaker 1: air twelve dollars.
Speaker 2: It's funny. See, I think it's already kind of pushing it.
Speaker 2: I would say fifteen would be the max. But I
Speaker 2: gonna be honest with you. Before you said anything, I
Speaker 2: was thinking ten, Like you know, so that's like twenty
Speaker 2: thinking twelve twenty percent of fat the game you.
Speaker 1: Play, Yeah, this is the game you play. Danielle Palencia
Speaker 1: truck out two clean inning for him against the Rockies.
Speaker 1: Also closer news, Camillo daval is going to be back
Speaker 1: to the closing job. We kind of were ahead of
Speaker 1: the game on this one. We told you to stash
Speaker 1: him a couple of weeks ago. Good for him. He
Speaker 1: used to have this job and then he was very
Speaker 1: good in it, and then he had one bad year,
Speaker 1: lost the job. Now he's got it back. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's gonna give it back. I know some people
Speaker 1: think it's temporary. I don't think it's temporary. I think
Speaker 1: Deval's gonna keep this all year. He's been terrific. Tanner
Speaker 1: Scott has not been terrific. Four runs, two outs, fifth
Speaker 1: blown save. We talked about this yesterday too. I think
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity to buy here on Tanner Scott because
Speaker 1: I just don't know where the pivot point is. So
Speaker 1: I just think they Grin and Barrett here, what do
Speaker 1: you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually, an interesting like, who'd you rather between those three?
Speaker 2: You could just start rank them. I agree, we said
Speaker 2: it on the live stream. I'm probably a little bit
Speaker 2: more likely to buy on Tanner Scott. Like he has
Speaker 2: like a two percent walk rate. It's super frustrating, but
Speaker 2: he has like a super low walk rate. Strikeouts are there,
Speaker 2: they keep going back to him. It's a very short,
Speaker 2: isolated stint where his last it's like three of the
Speaker 2: last five or three of the last six outings have
Speaker 2: been really and he's given up runs. But I also
Speaker 2: think that's in line where like i'd mentioned on the stream,
Speaker 2: Tory Levello had done, where a lot of managers will
Speaker 2: kind of give them the benefit of doubt. It's a
Speaker 2: short stint. We got to get them right, and he'll
Speaker 2: still have that opportunity. And because you're a Dodger, he
Speaker 2: would still be my top guy. I would go Tanner
Speaker 2: Scott and this might be silly Devaul, and then I
Speaker 2: would go Polancy. And by the way, I think you
Speaker 2: call them Dan Danielle Daniel, Polancie even though has looked,
Speaker 2: you know, pretty lights out in outside of the first
Speaker 2: save opportunity. But that would be my rank of them,
Speaker 2: and I know a lot of people wouldn't feel comfortable
Speaker 2: with that Tanner.
Speaker 1: Giving a fun Hispanic emphascist. I'm doing the dual lingo
Speaker 1: now on a daily basis. I think that's just seeping
Speaker 1: into my brain because I would be saying looking at
Speaker 1: that name and saying that Danielle la Palencia.
Speaker 2: But is that the one where you have like the
Speaker 2: daily tasks?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, back and forth, trying to get better
Speaker 1: in my Spanish, you know, so I can communicate more
Speaker 1: with relatives, my girlfriend. That's what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 1: Gavin Sheets two for three to run Homer three Ribby's.
Speaker 1: We were going to talk about him on the trade show.
Speaker 1: We ran out of time. But Gavin Sheets just eleven
Speaker 1: home runs, just never stops. Here's one that's interesting.
Speaker 2: Well, hell are you? I don't want you to go
Speaker 2: past Sheets because there's something funny. Are you still on Sheets?
Speaker 1: We can be okay. I just want to put the
Speaker 1: sheets together, you and me if you want to for
Speaker 1: a little bit longer.
Speaker 2: Joe Musgrove, it is, it's my favorite nickname. It's my
Speaker 2: favorite nickname. Gavin Sheets. The other day was doing an
Speaker 2: interview and Joe Musgrove, who's just like hanging with the team,
Speaker 2: not doing anything. I guess right now, he ran out
Speaker 2: and he and he yelled, this is what was it?
Speaker 2: This is dairy Bonds. They're calling Gavin Sheets dairy Bonds,
Speaker 2: and it's my favorite nickname and I want the shirts
Speaker 2: of it. So Gavin Sheets aka dairy Bonds is the best.
Speaker 1: I like that. That's a good one. Also messed up
Speaker 1: potentially here. Keep this in mind too. This is a
Speaker 1: little whacky here. Jackson Job three runs four and two thirds,
Speaker 1: not great. Velo is down by a mile and a half, okay,
Speaker 1: But also after the game, nobody talked to reporters. He
Speaker 1: wasn't in the clubhouse, so I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is an injury thing or whatever it is. It doesn't
Speaker 1: feel good to me. I just want to put this
Speaker 1: out there to you when it comes to job. But
Speaker 1: should people be concerned here? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Absolutely usual. I mean you can have starts where it's
Speaker 2: you know, things are off About a mile and a
Speaker 2: half per hour on your fastball is a very concerning thing.
Speaker 2: Usually and likely it'll have, like you know, connections to
Speaker 2: arm issues. But here's what I would also point out,
Speaker 2: Job hasn't been good like so as far as from
Speaker 2: a fantasy perspective, he has an under eighteen percent K percentage.
Speaker 2: He has a twelve percent walk rate if you play
Speaker 2: the K minus walk percentage game, which is important, that's
Speaker 2: five percent five point actually, I think it's five point
Speaker 2: five percent or five point six percent. That's like horrific.
Speaker 2: That is a horrific number for era. Expected is four
Speaker 2: and a half. Now you're losing Velo on the fastball now,
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think he's very fantasy
Speaker 2: relevant at all, and I think this arm issue is
Speaker 2: something we're gonna have to really really monitor. But also
Speaker 2: he probably shouldn't be on like a ton of teams
Speaker 2: right now. Anyways. I know the upside is fun keeper
Speaker 2: leagues are different, but it's been bad, and things got
Speaker 2: a little bit worse yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yep, certainly have All right, let's continue on here, and
Speaker 1: I want to shout out some of our folks here
Speaker 1: who resubbed Cookie Jubs, Young Mage, all resubbed with prime.
Speaker 1: Don't forget you can do that yourself right now. That way,
Speaker 1: you don't get the ads here when you're watching us
Speaker 1: on our stream on Twitch, which is where we are
Speaker 1: every day Monday through Friday noon Eastern. Let's get to
Speaker 1: some transactions. Logan Evans sent to Triple A. Boo. Kyle
Speaker 1: Gibson signs with the Rays. That was kind of interesting.
Speaker 1: And then this is like a deeper league thing. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna throw it out there. So Scott Kingery was
Speaker 1: recalled from Triple A. He hasn't been in the big
Speaker 1: league since twenty twenty two, but he's been pretty good.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Angels got rid of Tim Anderson there,
Speaker 1: they're cleaning house. Karen Paris to Triple A, Tim Anderson gone.
Speaker 1: King Grey's been hitting in a deeper If you're like
Speaker 1: a fifteen team league, is this a guy that you
Speaker 1: would pick up? Do you think he's gonna get any
Speaker 1: playing time?
Speaker 2: He'll get some playing time, but I don't know if
Speaker 2: I buy it. So King Gree was out here in
Speaker 2: Complex a couple of weeks ago. I put out a
Speaker 2: video and I was just remember Scott Kingrey because he
Speaker 2: had a hit.
Speaker 1: He was a Philly prospect that was you know, and
Speaker 1: his dad played the Major League too.
Speaker 2: Oh he was out here. He was dating a local
Speaker 2: radio person's daughter out here, like he went to U
Speaker 2: Helen stuff. So yeah, no to Scott Kingrey. But thirty
Speaker 2: one year old journeyman who by the way, his minor
Speaker 2: league stats are inflated by rookie ball, that he was
Speaker 2: playing out here in rookie ball, not really. I don't
Speaker 2: buy it. Like there might be a short little stint
Speaker 2: of it. I'm not picking Scott Kingry up, but he
Speaker 2: might get some playing time because Tim Anderson is out.
Speaker 2: But they're also like moving Anderson around, and I think
Speaker 2: this could be just a short lived move before they
Speaker 2: bring up Christian Moore. I think Christian Moore is going
Speaker 2: to come up after that Super two stuff kind of
Speaker 2: locks out and they've got the extra year of control.
Speaker 2: Christian Moore had a weird double A killing it in
Speaker 2: Triple A. I think he's going to probably be up
Speaker 2: within a week or two. So, you know, I don't
Speaker 2: want to be super dismissive of it, but you know,
Speaker 2: thirty one year old journeyman Scott Kingree, you don't do
Speaker 2: it for me.
Speaker 1: He seems a little dismissive. Triple A three seventy three
Speaker 1: nine ninety six ops.
Speaker 2: How many? How many games?
Speaker 1: Twenty one games?
Speaker 2: Say really good twenty one games? Triple A.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was okay right now, that's what it says. Also,
Speaker 1: rookie lookie time. Robert Hassel three for five with a homer.
Speaker 1: Gustin Ramirez right now was a five to one for
Speaker 1: the NL Rookie of the Year. Four hits including a
Speaker 1: homer for him. I would like him over Baldwin for
Speaker 1: that award so far in terms of where they are
Speaker 1: for the.
Speaker 2: I think often I think value that feels like it
Speaker 2: would be, But I don't think Baldwin's He's got like
Speaker 2: a much higher war. He's hitting over three hundred homers
Speaker 2: are there. He'll just he won't get the playing time
Speaker 2: that's going to be.
Speaker 1: That's the thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he won't get the playing time.
Speaker 1: Kits. I just don't think they're there for bald And
Speaker 1: I think Baldwin gets figured out before Ramirez. Uh Noah
Speaker 1: Cameron six hits, one run, two walks, Kide Cavali remember him,
Speaker 1: there's other like you know, prospects of yesteryear. Ca Cavali
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts, five showed out innings Wednesday and triple A.
Speaker 1: Look the National's rotation certainly could use something. Could Kid
Speaker 1: Kvali be a guy that in deeper leagues you might
Speaker 1: be looking at it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. And uh yeah, Caid's like a
Speaker 2: big power fastball guy. Uh I would I would have
Speaker 2: some interest in him. I'm trying to like in like
Speaker 2: the pitching prospect. I think it would be below a
Speaker 2: Logan Henderson, below a Cade Horton, And it's probably just
Speaker 2: yeah that if I were.
Speaker 1: Like rank these cads, Cad Horton, Kid, Kavali, Cade Povic.
Speaker 2: Go ooh, we would go Cad Horton, Horton, Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then we'll go with Cavali and then we'll go with Povich.
Speaker 2: Why are there so many Cads? Is that the like
Speaker 2: twenty years ago that was the popular.
Speaker 1: Name of fias and stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like in ten years everyone's going to be named
Speaker 2: Aiden and then whatever.
Speaker 1: No one's named Joe anymore. Everyone's name Bryden or Bryden
Speaker 1: or things like that. Baden Jads, so yeah, a lot
Speaker 1: of j I've a Jaden on the football team, my coach.
Speaker 1: But yeah, triple A so far again, the era is
Speaker 1: at four to a two. But this last start pretty
Speaker 1: you know, spectacle or twenty seven strikeouts, seven walks, so
Speaker 1: at least a guy to monitor and see how the
Speaker 1: next couple starts. Go Allen road in three for four
Speaker 1: with a walk RBI. He's been great since being sent down,
Speaker 1: especially with the injury to Santander. I could see Roaden
Speaker 1: get another shot. And Red Sox news Christian Campbell is
Speaker 1: gonna get his first crack at first base later in
Speaker 1: this week against Atlanta. And Marcella Mayer was hitting clean
Speaker 1: up yesterday for the Red Sox abt in third for them.
Speaker 1: So let's do fun. Three up at three down, Mason
Speaker 1: win four for five, two doubles, Junior Caminaro starting to
Speaker 1: get hot, folks don't look down to run home or
Speaker 1: two for four and Paul Sken's seven strikeouts and six
Speaker 1: and two thirds ten to one ass kicking of the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1: Holy cal Welsh, how are you doing? Because the Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: are not doing well.
Speaker 2: No, they're they're on a a complete just fade and
Speaker 2: tunnel and they are falling, falling, falling there, Tory Lavello,
Speaker 2: his job is up in question. They can't hit, but
Speaker 2: their bullpen, their bullpen, they're pitching staff is atrocious Gallon
Speaker 2: was awful yesterday. I didn't even look. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you have yeah or you do have him in
Speaker 2: the downs, but he was really, really bad and it
Speaker 2: happened later in the game, as it always does with
Speaker 2: him and Paul Skean. Just want to point out again
Speaker 2: this is a second straight day or game that we've
Speaker 2: talked about where the Pirates were giving getting good numbers
Speaker 2: on their first five with Paul Skeans it was plus
Speaker 2: money last one. This is minus one oh five, and
Speaker 2: I took it against the Diamondbacks. They actually gave some
Speaker 2: run support. Paul Skens has looked phenomenal. Actually, a friend
Speaker 2: of mine was at that game and was sitting the
Speaker 2: row away from Livy Dunn by the way, and his
Speaker 2: kids got to meet Livvy Dunn and you know, get
Speaker 2: like autographing picture and stuff like that, and I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't I didn't realize that she just traveled to
Speaker 2: all the games. So maybe we need to have a market.
Speaker 1: And you got that kind of money, man, lick we want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well it's just good luck for him.
Speaker 1: She dates a guy with a mustache, So see, guys,
Speaker 1: anything's possible. U S. M. Segull I have Wilson Contrez
Speaker 1: and Augustine Ramirez, Which do I drop the free up
Speaker 1: roster space Walsh. Kind of hard to drop Ramiraz, isn't it.
Speaker 2: It's kind of hard to drop Contreras, though. I think
Speaker 2: I would drop Ramirez before I dropped Contraras.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm making a trade somebody. Somebody's looking for a
Speaker 1: catch upgrade year league somewhere. Somehow T downs more kids
Speaker 1: ten team. These are ten team problems. You look at
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks of schedule and you make
Speaker 1: your decision that way. Kid Povic eight hits, five runs,
Speaker 1: three walks. He's terrible. Denzel Clark struck out four times,
Speaker 1: and I'm disappointed because he didn't struck out five. If
Speaker 1: he got five, we would have had a Sinko stinko
Speaker 1: and that would have been fun. So, Denzel Clark, you
Speaker 1: failed twice yesterday by failing only four times. Zach Gallon
Speaker 1: dropped to three and seven, six runs, five earned five
Speaker 1: innings against the Pirates. He is Pirates.
Speaker 2: He is a drop in twelve team, and I think
Speaker 2: what you can come to terms with is he might
Speaker 2: figure some stuff out. He talked to media after and
Speaker 2: he was like, hey, it's a third of the season.
Speaker 2: Da da Da da dad. He is talented enough for
Speaker 2: things to fix, so we can't make this a if
Speaker 2: you drop him and then he comes better, you cry
Speaker 2: about it and stuff like that, like you know that's there,
Speaker 2: but he's not right. He threw his fat I mean,
Speaker 2: good for him for getting his fastball and his zone
Speaker 2: a ton, but check this out. Curveball thirty one percent,
Speaker 2: zone percentage, change up thirty eight, his slider seventeen percent.
Speaker 2: The only thing he threw for strikes yesterday was a fastball.
Speaker 2: That's it. So you don't have to offer at any
Speaker 2: of the other stuff. And they offered at the curveball.
Speaker 2: No offerings on the change up, none on the slider,
Speaker 2: none on the cutter. It was all contact on the
Speaker 2: fastball and the curve didn't do enough. He has two pitches,
Speaker 2: he doesn't have three good pitches in a singular game.
Speaker 2: He's just not someone need to hold on to right now.
Speaker 2: But just like a Sandy, like if you see signs
Speaker 2: of life changing, you would want to pick up. But
Speaker 2: I don't think Gallen is in a different like tier
Speaker 2: than Sandy at this point. They're both just don't need
Speaker 2: to be rostered.
Speaker 1: Well, just like Sandy al Contra and Zach Gallon of
Speaker 1: your performance isn't where it used to be could be
Speaker 1: a sign of low testosterone, a condition affecting well thirty

Speaker 1: let's get to the injuries. A ton of stuff to
Speaker 1: get through. We're gonna fly through as much as we can.
Speaker 1: Brandon Woodroffe Stargo charge with one Captain's law, Ye over,
Speaker 1: you know it would be good Welsh. Why don't you
Speaker 1: read that? This one? And I'm gonna sing a song
Speaker 1: that I think is appropriate for Brandon Wood?
Speaker 2: Oh you just want me to read his line?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, wait, hold on, let me let me get
Speaker 1: the lyrics?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Do I get to do? I keep talking while you're singing.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I'll like do underneath. Uh hold on a second,
Speaker 1: I want to make sure sure I have the right song.
Speaker 2: I'm not doing anything ibortant.
Speaker 1: Mind no, I mean it's fine. Okay, okay, go ahead,
Speaker 1: I'm ready.
Speaker 2: Okay. Brandon Woodruff I have died was charged with one
Speaker 2: run waiting for zero earned Darling Don't over seven innings
Speaker 2: on Wednesday in the Minor League rehab start I loved
Speaker 2: for hi A Wisconsin, hi A, Wisconsin. Woodrooff, who recorded
Speaker 2: six strikeouts through seventy four pitches for a thous is
Speaker 2: expected to make another rehab start next Tuesday. Of course,
Speaker 2: for Triple A Nashville. He's never coming up.
Speaker 1: I've been waiting a thousand years for Brandon Woodruff, a
Speaker 1: thousand years for him. We'll see.
Speaker 2: Should have a beer, we should have like big one
Speaker 2: white Brandon Woodrow. He's finally active. It's twenty Brandon Woodrum
Speaker 2: is gonna make just one more reaction, one more, one more.
Speaker 2: He's pitching at quattro A. What does this added a
Speaker 2: new level?
Speaker 1: I want him to retire right before he gets activated.
Speaker 2: He's like the nicest dude on the planet Tube. By
Speaker 2: the way, he is like the nicest guy ever, I.
Speaker 1: Swear to God, but he's never gonna PI. I have
Speaker 1: him in so many leagues and I just want him
Speaker 1: to come back. Ord He's just kill me. Cory Seeger,
Speaker 1: He's back. We'll see how for long? Sephen Kwan, I'm
Speaker 1: worried about this one. He left the game with right
Speaker 1: wrist inflammation. That's no boy, no, especially for hair like Kwan.
Speaker 1: He's a very wrist oriented hitter. This is gonna be
Speaker 1: a problem. I hope he doesn't go in the eel,
Speaker 1: but I fear he will. So start playing accordingly. Now,
Speaker 1: if you could get some guy off the waiver wire
Speaker 1: off outfield wise, do it. Montas is gonna make a
Speaker 1: reap start in Brooklyn on Thursday. That's today. Matt Walner
Speaker 1: through run, home run, Remember him. He's been hurt forever.
Speaker 1: He's had four homers in five rehab games at Triple A.
Speaker 1: Get him up, Urie Perez, four strikeouts and five shot addings. Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm starts as rehab today in Double A. Summersets
Speaker 1: Joyzy go down the street. No, it's cold and kids
Speaker 1: are over for dinner tonight. Now like it's we're hanging
Speaker 1: out tonight. We're gonna watch a movie or something after dinner. Now,
Speaker 1: watching Jazz is too Yeah. I could go sit in
Speaker 1: the cold and watch Yankee double A.
Speaker 2: Today I'm gonna sit fifteen and watch and make be
Speaker 2: best friends with Jazz. Go be best friends.
Speaker 1: That's fine. I know there's no way I'm getting as
Speaker 1: close to Jazz as you'll get.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Jose Kintana is preparing, although we have to find something
Speaker 1: new to watch because Survivor's over now, so we got
Speaker 1: to watch a movie or something else now tonight. Jose
Speaker 1: Kintana preparing Sunday to start against the Phillies. Christian Walker,
Speaker 1: who was hit on the hand yesterday x rays negative.
Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's minor league rehab start this weekend. Seth Lugo
Speaker 1: activated for Friday's game against the Tigers. That's coming. JJ
Speaker 1: bl Day also working his way back two for four
Speaker 1: and run out Blanco had. We'll have his season ending
Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery next week. Which brings us to the
Speaker 1: best bets of the day with Joey p and the
Speaker 1: Welsh Let's get to it short slate today. Not a
Speaker 1: lot of great betting going on, so let's take a
Speaker 1: look here slowly, but surely. I have waited for one
Speaker 1: thousand years for the two box box.
Speaker 2: Not a good sign for the bets today.
Speaker 1: Seth, this is going in your review. I just want
Speaker 1: you to know, or Cali whoever, there's two producers here
Speaker 1: and nobody could get us into a two box. There
Speaker 1: will be words after this, shiit. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: I might have to shame you as well. I'm all
Speaker 1: out of shaming people today. That's what I'm doing. All right.
Speaker 1: Let's start with Mackenzie Gore seven and a half strikeouts.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go the under here. I know with Seattle,
Speaker 1: you know you might want to go the over. I
Speaker 1: think seven and a half is a big number. I'm
Speaker 1: worried about the efficiency of Gore in this start on
Speaker 1: the road, So let's go under here getting a nice
Speaker 1: number at minus one oh two, Junior Camenio, so also
Speaker 1: you have here at over one and a half total
Speaker 1: bases plus one oh five, and then give me Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay on the money line. Bo's at a good start
Speaker 1: last time out. They're gonna get Gustau today plus one
Speaker 1: hundred on the money line, so give me that one. Welsh,
Speaker 1: where are you going for your best bets for today?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Well, we coming off a two and one day yesterday
Speaker 2: couple of paosa Paul Skeans obviously was the good one.
Speaker 2: We're going to go Atlanta Philly. We're gonna go into
Speaker 2: game two. They got two games today and this is
Speaker 2: going to be the Zach Wheeler Chris Sale game. We're
Speaker 2: gonna play under runs under seven and a half runs
Speaker 2: for the two best NL pitchers arguably not named Paul
Speaker 2: Skeens that you could possibly have. It's a great phenomenal matchup.
Speaker 2: Offensive pieces are both pretty scary, but you know, in
Speaker 2: Phillies without Harper, and I'm hoping that Chris Sale is on,
Speaker 2: you know, the big stuff today as well as Zach
Speaker 2: Wheeler holding down Ronald Acunya. But seven and a half
Speaker 2: runs for this the first five might be interesting as
Speaker 2: well to you probably have to at the three and
Speaker 2: a half under. I'm gonna take full game under seven
Speaker 2: and a half minus one fifteen Tampa Bay and Houston.
Speaker 2: We are gonna go over eight total runs. We got
Speaker 2: Boz who has not been good. We have Ryan Gusto
Speaker 2: who has had his moments, and I think both of
Speaker 2: these offensive pieces can can kind of take it. Shane
Speaker 2: Boz has been a little bit Gallon esque in that,
Speaker 2: you know, he's given up four or five runs per game,
Speaker 2: and I think Tampa can get to Gusto a little bit.
Speaker 2: So I like over the eight runs on both of
Speaker 2: these minus one fifteen, and that is I you know
Speaker 2: what that is. Actually, I was about to say that's incorrect.
Speaker 2: That is a correct first five run line for Washington.
Speaker 2: I'm going to join you in the McKenzie gore run
Speaker 2: line means they're up by one run through the first
Speaker 2: five when we say it, So this is Washington up
Speaker 2: by a run plus one ten. McKenzie Gore has been
Speaker 2: pretty pretty tough to hit a lot of strikeouts, you know,
Speaker 2: hopefully not eight for Joe's bet here, but I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go Washington gets to them first five run line plus
Speaker 2: one ten. I was ready to call you out of
Speaker 2: the ordering of my having my numbers.
Speaker 1: Apparently the laptop froze right at that time, and that happens,
Speaker 1: like because I never freeze, because accidents happens. Having fun
Speaker 1: here on the show today, it's been a very fun show.
Speaker 1: A lot of feelings, don't forget, and that's your bets,
Speaker 1: Just don't sneeze in them and then touch something immediately
Speaker 1: in front of other people where they see it's gross.

Speaker 1: no show for me yesterday. Don't like it. Welsh is
Speaker 1: at sixteen, hanging in there, Walk's at nineteen. George is
Speaker 1: still at twenty five at the top with a two
Speaker 1: home run lead. The Sami Sosa jersey up for grabs

Speaker 1: Let's Jim equipment, Jim etiquette, etiquette, you know again, I'm like, like,
Speaker 1: you know, let's go. Uh. Sabo's goggles, by the way,
Speaker 1: says that I'm the guy probably who left the bar
Speaker 1: too high on the squat wrack for Joe too, or
Speaker 1: he's the guy they left the probably I'm short. Is
Speaker 1: that what you're getting at?
Speaker 2: The guy probably left the bar too high, and he's
Speaker 2: just saying the guy no, oh no.
Speaker 1: No he didn't. I wasn't even using that machine. I
Speaker 1: was just right across from the guy on another machine
Speaker 1: and I and it was just like, bro, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Like that's gross? And then there was a
Speaker 1: part of who's gonna let it go? He was like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let it go. It's terrible, it's bad form,
Speaker 1: it's disgusting. Be better that will he be better? Probably not?
Speaker 1: But again he looked exactly like Hoggle from Labyrinth. So
Speaker 1: get that image in your mind of how gross this
Speaker 1: few is. Gross.
Speaker 2: I just imagine I google it right now.
Speaker 1: I want your live reaction. Hoggle Labyrinth character hoggle if
Speaker 1: it's Hogg, right, here's a Labyrinth. When you were a kid,
Speaker 1: I'm probably Jim Henson childhood.
Speaker 2: Did you have didn' hoggle Labyrinth?
Speaker 1: That's what he looked like.
Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like just whatever you think a
Speaker 2: troll looks like, like it's a atroll. But you know
Speaker 2: what all those eighties movies like, whether it was what's
Speaker 2: with the flying Dog? I'm just completely forgetting about it
Speaker 2: right now. Never any story, never ending story, like all.
Speaker 1: Of the trolls. He's like a dragon.
Speaker 2: It's a dog that they're calling a dragon. It's a dog,
Speaker 2: dude talking about he's a dragon. Yeah, they gave it
Speaker 2: a different name, but it's a dog in our world,
Speaker 2: in Maple League world, it's a mouth works. It's a
Speaker 2: big budd flying.
Speaker 1: I never saw Airbud. I was too old when air
Speaker 1: Bud came out anywhere. Let's get to home run calls today.
Speaker 1: I'm going Junior Caminaro. Today, Junior is getting hot plus
Speaker 1: four to forty let's go Welsh. Where are you going
Speaker 1: for your home run?
Speaker 2: Call Laddie Daddy. Actually, someone brought up the James woodwe
Speaker 2: I almost went with James Wood too. They're just going
Speaker 2: to go to Seattle. That took me out of it,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go with Vladdie Daddy. I'm looking for
Speaker 2: some runs in that game and glad to get it
Speaker 2: out here.
Speaker 1: You go, all right, that'll do it for us, but
Speaker 1: the story of the game goes on for the Welsh.
