Speaker 1: What's up, friends, and welcome into Fantasy Pros m LB.
Speaker 1: This is leading off with the Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks,
Speaker 1: the Welsh. That's me, Joe Rico, that's him. We're coming
Speaker 1: off of a marathon of shows that we did yesterday,
Speaker 1: but a lot of good stuff to talk about. Spencer Stryder, breakdowns,
Speaker 1: a certain somebody is back in the outfield. We've got bets,
Speaker 1: we got a ton of it. Joe Rico, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 1: You're ready to do the fifth show in twenty four
Speaker 1: hours that we've done together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, absolutely, I mean that's kind of regular for
Speaker 2: you on Wednesday, right, I guess just every Wednesday is
Speaker 2: kind of a bit of a marathon for you at
Speaker 2: this point. Although we are going to be moving cleaning
Speaker 2: up to Mondays, I think, but right now Wednesdays every Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Save in the surprise, saving the surprise for everybody.
Speaker 2: Joe, there you go, idn't I don't know, Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: They're still working on it, but yeah, that might be
Speaker 1: uh moving here in the near future. To take a
Speaker 1: look out. We got lots of breakdown. No Joey p
Speaker 1: today we weren't able to get him into the studio.
Speaker 1: I know people might I've been looking for that, but
Speaker 1: I do have official word. I'm going to be meeting
Speaker 1: up with Joey tomorrow. We might be hitting some dingers,
Speaker 1: or theoretical, we might be hoping that we can hit
Speaker 1: some dingers. So get your bets ready. We'll set the
Speaker 1: lines of what Joey and I could possibly do out there.
Speaker 1: But let's get into all the stuff and things because
Speaker 1: we got our live people here Twitch dot tv, slash
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros. If you're listening on the podcast front, make
Speaker 1: sure you guys are coming to check us out live,
Speaker 1: hanging out with the Peanuts and cracker Jacks. People are following,
Speaker 1: people are subbing, we're giving shout outs, and we're going
Speaker 1: to be talking to a bunch of you guys throughout
Speaker 1: the show. So putting your questions in. We'll be starring
Speaker 1: those getting to them because there's a bunch to talk about.
Speaker 1: But make sure if you haven't had the opportunity you
Speaker 1: want to come over on the live with the rest
Speaker 1: of our people watching this bad boy quite a few
Speaker 1: things right at the top. I actually want to throw
Speaker 1: this out here. This isn't like the biggest piece of
Speaker 1: news relating to yesterday. But Brent Rooker is back in
Speaker 1: the outfield. This is like the the maul Rats bit
Speaker 1: that kid is back on the escalator. Brent Rooker is
Speaker 1: back in left field. That makes twice this week, three
Speaker 1: times in the last week. And to all the people
Speaker 1: on the very first time he was in the outfield,
Speaker 1: I tweeted about it, all the little negative nancies like
Speaker 1: this is the day off, suck it. We have three.
Speaker 1: We are clearly clearly making room for Nick Kurtz without question.
Speaker 1: Two points in the outfield and left field is huge. Joe,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited about it. I also like to be
Speaker 1: right occasionally, so Nick Kurtz probably in the very near future,
Speaker 1: I said yesterday at one of the shows we did.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna just wake up one morning
Speaker 1: and he will be there and we're gonna have everything set.
Speaker 1: I don't know what your take is on this, but
Speaker 1: you have to probably agree here that Britt Brooker in
Speaker 1: the outfield is just a foregone conclusion that Nick Kurts
Speaker 1: should be probably within days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure what they're waiting on exactly. It's
Speaker 2: like they're doing this every other game thing. On Saturday,
Speaker 2: he was in right Sunday DH, Tuesday game, he was
Speaker 2: in left Wednesday DH, and then today he's in left again.
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of just hoping that they get this
Speaker 2: out of the way. And I don't know why teams
Speaker 2: do this. I don't know if it's a service time thing.
Speaker 2: I'm not as locked into that side of it, But
Speaker 2: just getting Nick Kurtz up to the big leagues, I
Speaker 2: think that would mean for the lineup that was that
Speaker 2: g or Schell is probably going to come out of
Speaker 2: it and they're going to do some shuffling that way.
Speaker 1: Well, well if Geo, if he came out of it, though,
Speaker 1: then someone would have to go to third base. They
Speaker 1: would probably have.
Speaker 2: To, isn't it the thought of Sodashrom going to third base?
Speaker 2: Didn't you? Didn't you mention that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they haven't even done it. They haven't even
Speaker 1: like he hasn't played a single game at third base.
Speaker 1: So well, what's happening right now is Brent Rooker is
Speaker 1: playing in left. That's tangible, So he would go to left,
Speaker 1: Kurtz would go to DH, and Sodashrim would play first.
Speaker 1: That would be the current outlook. An you are would
Speaker 1: probably and they could shorten strong side platoon. I suppose
Speaker 1: if they want Kurtz and and you are. Now if
Speaker 1: we start seeing sodashrom Go play third, then I think
Speaker 1: that's what it is. I think then I think that
Speaker 1: would make sense. But I don't know if they're comfortable.
Speaker 1: That's a big change going from you know, catching in
Speaker 1: first for a long time to then trying to like
Speaker 1: full time move to third. That's why I think this
Speaker 1: one's a lot more tangible. And then you're just gonna
Speaker 1: probably have an are making and you are making the
Speaker 1: bench or whatever it is. But Nick Kurts should be
Speaker 1: out soon. This is a good one. Here Whip saying
Speaker 1: homestand that's my birthday. What a great birthday treat wou'd
Speaker 1: be on April twenty second for the home stand for
Speaker 1: the A's Nick Kurtz comes up, we all have a
Speaker 1: wonderful celebration. It would be awesome. So I kind of
Speaker 1: feel like it's gonna be like Saturday. We're gonna wake
Speaker 1: up Saturday and we're gonna get Nick Kurtz out there.
Speaker 1: But the most important thing outside of it is just
Speaker 1: that we are getting even more confirmation. First one, everyone
Speaker 1: was like may man, anyone else. Second one he did it,
Speaker 1: We're like, okay, he's in the outfield. Third, third, time's
Speaker 1: the time. Shame on you. That's what we would do,
Speaker 1: Brenton Rooker making room for Nick Kurtz. And is this true?
Speaker 1: Let's see. Here's what manager Mark kartz Kotze had to say.
Speaker 1: The beauty of the process will be that we're adding
Speaker 1: a bat that can have impact in the lineup. Oh
Speaker 1: did they say it today? I mean, clearly, we all
Speaker 1: know what they're doing. But Nick Kurtz, get your Knick
Speaker 1: Kurt shares in, pick him up. I imagine we'll have
Speaker 1: lots of Nick Kurtz questions on the show. It was
Speaker 1: Spencer Strider Day yesterday. He was welcome back. His first
Speaker 1: at bat was great, struck out Bobaschett, high end side fastball,
Speaker 1: low outside slider. It was classic stuff. But then everything
Speaker 1: kind of tapered back just a tiny bit. He ended
Speaker 1: up five innings, five hits, five strikeouts, twour and runs
Speaker 1: a walk. His fastball had an absolutely absurd thirty swings
Speaker 1: on it. It's going to happen because he's a fastball
Speaker 1: slider guy, that ninety percent of his pitches are going
Speaker 1: to be fastball or slider, but unlike the Spencer Strider,
Speaker 1: were used to it, and I had only five whiffs.
Speaker 1: So thirty swings, only five whiffs, that's a seventeen percent.
Speaker 1: It ended up a seventeen percent whiff rate on the fastball.
Speaker 1: The fastball touched ninety eight, but then the velo dipped
Speaker 1: all the way down to ninety three, and we had
Speaker 1: talked about on I think the Discord Show and then
Speaker 1: a little bit on the live stream. It came back up,
Speaker 1: but then it came back down around ninety four ish
Speaker 1: in the fifth. So my question would be, what's your takeaway.
Speaker 1: Is there anything of you know, tangible worry or excitement
Speaker 1: or by I think you can have a few people
Speaker 1: that are a little like, ooh, Vello is down, and
Speaker 1: maybe there's some type of buy there, But I would
Speaker 1: say all in all, probably had solidly checked the game
Speaker 1: for Spencer Strider.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about this a lot yesterday. I didn't
Speaker 2: love the fact that the velocity did kind of dip.
Speaker 2: If you go on Baseball Savon and you can search
Speaker 2: in the game feed that if you know your way
Speaker 2: around Baseball Savon, it's pretty easy. You go to the
Speaker 2: pitch velocity section in the game feed. You can search
Speaker 2: by strider and if you look by inning. In the
Speaker 2: first there was ninety six, ninety seven, in the second
Speaker 2: ninety five, and the third you started seeing some pitches
Speaker 2: at ninety four. We even got a fastball at ninety three. So,
Speaker 2: like I said yesterday, I'm not really overly concerned his
Speaker 2: first start back. It's going to take him a little
Speaker 2: bit of time to get back in the swing of things.
Speaker 2: If we see him the next time out in the
Speaker 2: time after that, sitting ninety four, then I'm going to
Speaker 2: start to be a little bit worried. But for now
Speaker 2: there's there's no real massive concern.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's good. Then it's good that you're not there.
Speaker 1: I'm not there. I think there was a solid outing.
Speaker 1: You kind of would expect with that type of missed
Speaker 1: time that there might maybe be, like, you know, some
Speaker 1: Vilo adjustments. It was nice that he came back with it.
Speaker 1: You're pitching in TRIPLEA. He was probably just destroying guys
Speaker 1: with the slider. Every strikeout pitch looked like this or
Speaker 1: the slider. The strider he was throwing, but the slider
Speaker 1: was getting just a bunch of strikeouts. But he already
Speaker 1: after that start moved into like I think it was
Speaker 1: like the fifth or sixth, and the betting odds for
Speaker 1: cy Young already, which is absolutely crazy. So I'm in
Speaker 1: on Spencer Strider. Everybody should have like a pretty you know,
Speaker 1: a pretty good return as far as like wherever you
Speaker 1: return you drafted him an interesting thing out of this
Speaker 1: as well. Just as one more pick up from what
Speaker 1: we talk about yesterday, Chris Bassett was amazing. He went five,
Speaker 1: struck out ten. Are you buying in on Chris Bassett
Speaker 1: now that you've had a little bit of time to
Speaker 1: sit on it. He threw seven different pitches which as
Speaker 1: a total equated to a thirty five percent with rate.
Speaker 1: He was getting lefty. I mean, pretty interesting stuff out
Speaker 1: of Bassett. He's at an insane, insane early start. Are
Speaker 1: you selling out a little bit of a boost? Are
Speaker 1: you holding because you think this is going to stick?
Speaker 2: I think if you can sell him and get like
Speaker 2: a real increased return as opposed to what you would
Speaker 2: have got a couple of weeks ago, then I'd be
Speaker 2: exploring it for sure. I don't think that the numbers
Speaker 2: were seeing so far are really that legit. The strikeouts
Speaker 2: for his career have been in the twenty two percent range,
Speaker 2: like clockwork, pretty much every year. He's thirty three percent
Speaker 2: so far. Command was all over the place. Last season
Speaker 2: highest walk rate we've seen from him in like seven years,
Speaker 2: and then this season we're seeing it back in the
Speaker 2: five percent range. In terms of his walks, the whip
Speaker 2: is at one oh seven, which I think is just
Speaker 2: too low. I don't think really much of this is sustainable.
Speaker 2: You know, he's stranding ninety two percent of batters. I
Speaker 2: just when you look at his age, when you look
Speaker 2: at the trajectory of his career, it's it's easier to
Speaker 2: chalk this up to just a couple of hot starts
Speaker 2: as opposed to something that he's going to be able
Speaker 2: to carry over throughout the whole season. That being said,
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're trading Chris Bassett for. So
Speaker 2: if you're getting a top twenty five or thirty pitcher
Speaker 2: for him, if you can trade him for like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, Shane Boss or something, or I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of another kind of like breakout
Speaker 2: e pitcher, not.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's more hitting like Chris Bassett's big
Speaker 1: start to me, reeks more of like you're not going
Speaker 1: to go get like another cool picture. You're going to
Speaker 1: trade him for, you know, maybe an underperforming hitter. Maybe
Speaker 1: it is like Simon has kind of been a poster
Speaker 1: child of like solid underperformed hitters that you can maybe buy.
Speaker 1: It's maybe probably something like that, And I think I
Speaker 1: might consider doing that because you might have gotten the
Speaker 1: best out of him already. You are not going to
Speaker 1: get the best, probably any point out of Bobby Miller.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hap the hell happened to
Speaker 1: Bobby Miller six ere and runs over three innings and
Speaker 1: a no decision against the Rockies. Also in that matchup
Speaker 1: showy Otani hit a homer that looked like it almost
Speaker 1: left the state. It was insane. He had two RBIs.
Speaker 1: It was a classic home run day yesterday with Otani.
Speaker 1: But Bobby Miller, is there any hope long term?
Speaker 2: Week?
Speaker 1: I saw people in the chat yesterday we didn't get
Speaker 1: to it that were like, Hey, is Bobby Miller a streamed?
Speaker 1: Do we trust it? I'm completely out after being like
Speaker 1: a big Bobby Miller stuff plus guy, he had like
Speaker 1: monster stuff plus numbers across the board. Guy was touching
Speaker 1: ninety nine. There is zero feel for command. He got
Speaker 1: obliterated here. I'm one thousand percent out. The question is
Speaker 1: no on any question of Bobby Miller. But you feel
Speaker 1: any different.
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but I don't like. And
Speaker 2: the funny thing is the stuff is still great. It's
Speaker 2: one o eight, you know, the velocity is still like
Speaker 2: ninety seven and change on his fastball. It's he gives
Speaker 2: up so much hard contact. He has, like you said,
Speaker 2: no real feeling for where the ball's going. You couldn't
Speaker 2: hit the broadside of a bar in half the time.
Speaker 2: It seems like I was so into him heading into
Speaker 2: last season. I had him as like a top fifteen
Speaker 2: or twenty pitcher, and I agree with you all. So
Speaker 2: at this point there's not much hope. I just I
Speaker 2: don't want to fully give up because he's still so
Speaker 2: young and there is still a chance that he's able
Speaker 2: to figure things out. Like he's only twenty six. He
Speaker 2: just turned twenty six this month. There's still a chance
Speaker 2: that he figures things out. But in redraft, I am
Speaker 2: fully out. I guess the question is in Dynasty League,
Speaker 2: so are you also dropping him?
Speaker 1: I'm out there is a chance, but it's as a reliever.
Speaker 1: You know, he's holding back velos so he can try to,
Speaker 1: you know, go five or six innings and he's still
Speaker 1: hitting ninety seven. Just get rid of that. Be a
Speaker 1: one inning guy. Throw ninety nine, throw one hundred. I'm
Speaker 1: done with it. He's young enough that things could change,
Speaker 1: Like I'm totally open to that, but like, I have
Speaker 1: no interest in it. He's massively inconsistent. And I think
Speaker 1: you guys should probably get out from under if if
Speaker 1: you were, especially all you guys that were asking like
Speaker 1: should I do Bobby, No, shouldn't And a little bit
Speaker 1: of selfish news just want to point out, how about
Speaker 1: Michael Tolio yesterday Michael tolia jack and a Grand Slam.
Speaker 1: Everything looks absolutely horrible. But one thing, let's just put
Speaker 1: the pen in that I've said is watch if things
Speaker 1: start to turn, then you want to jump back at
Speaker 1: least if you if you care what I have to
Speaker 1: say about it, because you know, again the XBA was
Speaker 1: two forty last year. I think he's a thirty five
Speaker 1: home run hitter. Everything looks absolutely atrocious. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: this right now. He's got a forty seven percent hard
Speaker 1: hit rate, forty seven percent strikeout rate. He's a fifty
Speaker 1: percent hard hit rate that if you if you see
Speaker 1: him collect a few games, I would run to go
Speaker 1: pick him up because that tide could start turning. But
Speaker 1: everything has been really bad, so don't go do it
Speaker 1: like right now. But he did hit a homer yesterday,
Speaker 1: which was really really nice. Max Meyer allowed five hits,
Speaker 1: three hundred runs, two walks, eight strikeouts on the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1: He went six. Brandon Fought also five hits, one run,
Speaker 1: a couple walks and two strikeouts, and a nice little
Speaker 1: pitching duel of a couple guys that you definitely are
Speaker 1: going to want to be getting out, probably at any
Speaker 1: opportunity of who they're facing. Jackson Holiday, who we actually
Speaker 1: just had this big conversation about. Someone was asking us
Speaker 1: about dropping Holiday, I think versus like Cruise, and I'd
Speaker 1: kind of leaned in to say, I think there's still
Speaker 1: some things that are working well in Jackson Holiday's favor.
Speaker 1: Hit a grand slam yesterday, a big one four URBI
Speaker 1: obviously run scored. He was only one for four, but
Speaker 1: hit a homer that was nice. This question has popped
Speaker 1: up nothing really to talk about. So I'm kind of
Speaker 1: burning through it. I've saw someone ask this question, and
Speaker 1: this is fantastic. I've got two players for you, Joe,
Speaker 1: that we're going to play a little Are you ready
Speaker 1: to give up on these guys? Number one is a picture.
Speaker 1: Number two is a hitter, and someone in the chats
Speaker 1: already brought up the hitter, but let's start with the
Speaker 1: picture number one. Gavin Williams allowed four hits, five earned runs,
Speaker 1: walked four over six and two thirds against the Orioles yesterday.
Speaker 1: And it's not to say that he's just like a
Speaker 1: drop or anything like that, but we've been very questionable
Speaker 1: about how that spring training has moved over to here.
Speaker 1: That's another really bad on the walks. We're not seeing
Speaker 1: the strikeouts, we're not seeing good stuff, and it has
Speaker 1: been inconsistent the whole year. Are you ready to give
Speaker 1: up on Gavin Williams? To these people that are like, hey,
Speaker 1: would you drop Gavin Williams for Jose Soriano or for
Speaker 1: this streamer or are you going to hold on to
Speaker 1: Gavin after that start?
Speaker 2: No, I'm fine to move on from him if you're
Speaker 2: playing in deep leagues. Al only fifteen teamers. I would
Speaker 2: still hold on for now, but most of you guys
Speaker 2: are in ten or twelve teams, YAHOO, Standard Leagues, ESPN, CBS.
Speaker 2: There are so many good players on those waiver wires
Speaker 2: for the most part. Gavin Williams is somebody that I
Speaker 2: didn't come into the season that interested in. Mostly it
Speaker 2: was due to injury concerns. I figured that at some
Speaker 2: point he is going to have to go under the knife,
Speaker 2: just based on the way that last season went and
Speaker 2: the way that it tends to go with pitchers when
Speaker 2: they push the injury down the road and they don't
Speaker 2: have surgery. We've seen it with a lot of guys
Speaker 2: that either they're just not good ale at Tristan McKenzie,
Speaker 2: or eventually they do need to have surgery, like a
Speaker 2: Garrett Cole. And I think that one of the other
Speaker 2: out come is coming for Gavin Williams. But I was
Speaker 2: thinking that he would probably look okay on the mound,
Speaker 2: the performances would be pretty good, and then eventually he
Speaker 2: would get hurt. But the performances have not been good
Speaker 2: at all. He's giving up a ton of home runs,
Speaker 2: a ton of hard contact. I'm just I'm just not interested.
Speaker 2: I think I would drop him in most cases.
Speaker 1: Same thing chat are you done? Are you out on
Speaker 1: Gavin Williams? Or if you're watching after in the comment
Speaker 1: section on YouTube drop it? Are you in? Or are
Speaker 1: you back out on Gavin Williams. Here's the hitter and
Speaker 1: this is the one that someone brought up, are you
Speaker 1: done with Christian Walker? Christian Walker's hitting one fifty four
Speaker 1: a two sixty seven OVP. He's got two total extra
Speaker 1: base hits. He is striking out really as bad as
Speaker 1: he's done since twenty eighteen. Nothing close to that as
Speaker 1: a diamondback in recent history. There are a lot of
Speaker 1: other things in the profile that do look similar. He's
Speaker 1: hitting the ball about the same. Barrels are slightly down,
Speaker 1: He's walking babbit biz down. But everything has been bad.
Speaker 1: So are you ready to give up on Christian Walker?
Speaker 1: Because dang, do I see that a whole bunch?
Speaker 2: I'm not there personally. I understand the want to. If
Speaker 2: you look at the one fifty four batting average, he's
Speaker 2: done not a hell of a lot for you this season.
Speaker 2: But if you look below the surface, he's always been
Speaker 2: a massive barrel rate, massive hard hit guy, and those
Speaker 2: numbers are still intact. They're not quite what they were
Speaker 2: last season, but he's still nine and a half percent
Speaker 2: barrel rate forty five percent on the hard hit. The
Speaker 2: strikeouts are a little bit concerning, but considering the talent
Speaker 2: that Christian Walker has, I would think it's still too
Speaker 2: soon to give up now. With all the hot first
Speaker 2: basemen that are out there on the market, it'd be
Speaker 2: kind of a tough one. If you're seeing Ben Rice
Speaker 2: out there, maybe even Jonathan Randa, Spencer Torkelsen, it would
Speaker 2: be tempting to want to move on from Christian Walker.
Speaker 2: But I think Christian Walker is essentially like Matt Olson
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo Light. I know that that's probably not a
Speaker 2: popular take, but his hard hit at his bat at
Speaker 2: ball metrics are very similar to those two guys. Yes,
Speaker 2: he's dealt with a couple injuries, he's older than they are,
Speaker 2: but I think you're still probably looking at twenty five
Speaker 2: plus home runs. The Crawford boxes are going to be
Speaker 2: something that he takes advantage of throughout the season. It's
Speaker 2: still a good lineup. I think if you cut Christian
Speaker 2: Walker now, you're gonna be kicking yourself for it within
Speaker 2: the next few weeks.
Speaker 1: I agree. I completely agree with that. I'm a lot
Speaker 1: more comfortable moving Gavin for streamers. I cannot let go
Speaker 1: of Christian Walker. I understand ten teamers are in a
Speaker 1: little bit of a different situation, but I think the
Speaker 1: hitting profile just still looks like Christian Walker. He's really
Speaker 1: underperforming as well. Fastballs and breaking pitches are closer to
Speaker 1: like a two fifty average on the expected side, while
Speaker 1: he's hitting under two hundred. So I think Walker is
Speaker 1: going to get back hopefully. You know, there's only four
Speaker 1: billion first basemen you could choose from that. You could
Speaker 1: put someone else in there and get him going. Shout
Speaker 1: out by the way to Peven Smith, my boy, Peven Smith,
Speaker 1: who I couldn't shut up about. Luckily, this is my
Speaker 1: Joe Piezopia that I told you so situation. But Gavin
Speaker 1: or Peven Smith just jacked the two run shot on
Speaker 1: Edward Cabrero, scoring Corbin Carrol maybe the best player in baseball,
Speaker 1: and Peven Smith just making it look good. Strong side
Speaker 1: platoon so and shout out. Someone had him as a
Speaker 1: home run call today, so that was that was super nice.
Speaker 1: I think it was game.
Speaker 2: I added him in a ton of fab leagues because
Speaker 2: it's six right handed pitchers this week and so far
Speaker 2: so good Man a couple of home runs yesterday and today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I did say solo shot because I know Corbyn. Yeah,
Speaker 1: solo shot. Corbyn looked like he ended up scoring. So
Speaker 1: we're not watching, we're doing the show here. But two
Speaker 1: nothing diamondback, so go d backs on that one. So
Speaker 1: Gavin Williams Christian Walker comments on YouTube, you out you holding,
Speaker 1: We got some some of the dudes in here quick
Speaker 1: on the rookie lookie, and then I want to see
Speaker 1: what the audience has got going down. I'm only doing
Speaker 1: this because he's in the miners. It's more of like
Speaker 1: a down on the farm. But we just talked about
Speaker 1: this yesterday David Bednarp. There was a scoreless inning of
Speaker 1: relief in Triple A. And he's been really good and
Speaker 1: it looks like he might be on the precipice of
Speaker 1: coming back up. He has not walked anyone, I believe
Speaker 1: in like five outings at five innings and Triple A
Speaker 1: hasn't walked anybody, So he might be coming back soon.
Speaker 1: And I do think if they bring him back up,
Speaker 1: they'll throw him into that closer role. Actual rookie lookies.
Speaker 1: We've got Edward Carrow is getting the call it from
Speaker 1: the White Sox, hitting three thirty three over fifteen games
Speaker 1: in Triple A. I had actually talked about this and
Speaker 1: wrote about this that, like Kyle Teel was off to
Speaker 1: this hot start, but he tapered down. Caro came up,
Speaker 1: and Carroll's got a longer history of working in this organization,
Speaker 1: so I'm really not super surprised about it. So Edgar
Speaker 1: Carroll's there. I think he's maybe a two catcher type
Speaker 1: of guy that you could look at. Probably nothing more
Speaker 1: anything on Caro for you or a White Sox catch.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you play in a lot of
Speaker 1: two catcher leagues.
Speaker 2: I play in mostly two catcher leagues. I'm mostly an
Speaker 2: NFBC guy. I'll take a look this weekend. There are
Speaker 2: a couple of leagues where I'm still waiting on Tyler
Speaker 2: Stevenson to come back, and you know, a couple of
Speaker 2: leagues where I'm generally kind of a pun catcher guy.
Speaker 2: So I'll take a look, see how he does in
Speaker 2: these first couple of games, and probably put in some
Speaker 2: modest bids. On Sunday, I.
Speaker 1: Talked to earlier in the week, or maybe it was
Speaker 1: last week, but with the justin Steel news, Kate Horton,
Speaker 1: I said, has got to be on your radar. Kate
Speaker 1: Horton struck out six, allowed one run over five innings
Speaker 1: on Wednesday in Triple A. I think that could lead
Speaker 1: up that if you want to talk about timeline, so
Speaker 1: what was that Wednesday? He could be a guy that
Speaker 1: could come up over this week and to start for
Speaker 1: next week or very very soon. Be on the lookout
Speaker 1: for it. He's been really, really good. Kate Horton might
Speaker 1: be a pickup if you want to be sneaky and
Speaker 1: in the non Nick Kurtz world Kobe Mayo, for you know,
Speaker 1: Kobe Mayo was kind of Nick Kurtz last year. He
Speaker 1: was just destroying the world and everybody wanted him to
Speaker 1: come up. Three for five yesterday, three run homer for
Speaker 1: triple A. There's just no spot for him. But you know,
Speaker 1: if he were to come up, he would be kind
Speaker 1: of in line with one of those guys that you
Speaker 1: definitely want to pick up. All right, let's see what's
Speaker 1: going on with the Penis and cracker decks. Thoughts on
Speaker 1: Pepio and then also a bush or Torque, you got
Speaker 1: any I mean, I like Pepio. What's your thought on that?
Speaker 1: But I think he's like a good starter, you don't
Speaker 1: have to stream and you probably put him out towards
Speaker 1: any matchup. I think he's a solid SP four SP
Speaker 1: five maybe does that sound right?
Speaker 2: I think he even has the potential to do more
Speaker 2: than that. I've got a lot of drop questions over
Speaker 2: the last couple of days about him. The command has
Speaker 2: not really been that great. We've seen a bunch of walks,
Speaker 2: but the walk rate is still where it was last
Speaker 2: season eight point nine last year eight point eight. This season,
Speaker 2: it's just early, you know, it's just still so early.
Speaker 2: I came into the season really high on Pepio. The
Speaker 2: stuff is still there. It's we're talking about four starts.
Speaker 2: I think if you cut him, it's similar to Walker.
Speaker 2: If you cut him, you're gonna end up regretting it.
Speaker 2: I don't love the ballpark, like pitching on that park
Speaker 2: is a little tricky, and there might be some matchups
Speaker 2: where you want to sit him. But I still think
Speaker 2: you're getting a quality year out of Pepio. I'd roster
Speaker 2: him in all fourmats still.
Speaker 1: I did too, and I'm Bush over Torque right now.
Speaker 1: It's pretty close, though, Yeah, that's pretty close.
Speaker 2: I mean, you go either way.
Speaker 1: I've been fine with you if you.
Speaker 2: Go each I don't have a strong opinion on that one.
Speaker 2: And I just wrote up a thing on Tork yesterday.
Speaker 2: His metrics are looking so similar to twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: I think we're probably going to get something very similar
Speaker 2: to what we saw that year, about thirty Homers, about
Speaker 2: ninety ribbis. But Bush is looking great as well. In
Speaker 2: his lineup is much better than what we've got in Detroit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did the poll, by the way, on Gavin Williams.
Speaker 1: It was fifty six percent I said, I believe said
Speaker 1: out on the live twitch, So be interesting to see
Speaker 1: what that ends up being on the YouTube rank. Bassett
Speaker 1: Lodolo mize, what do you got.
Speaker 2: Mis basket Lodolo? I think I think that's the way
Speaker 2: I would go.
Speaker 1: I think I agree. Lodolo is really weird for me
Speaker 1: right now because he's changing from like, I'm not a
Speaker 1: misbat type of guy to kind of doing like what
Speaker 1: Hunter Green is doing. I wouldn't be surprised if Lodola's
Speaker 1: over Bassett. But I'm gonna go with the same exact order.
Speaker 1: You and I are guy are like just mys. Guys
Speaker 1: have an offer of jung jung hu Lei for akuna
Speaker 1: akunya on the table. I cannot speak today in the
Speaker 1: redraft head to head points league. Whatever side is the
Speaker 1: acunya one, that's the one that you want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like one of the biggest Jung Hulei fans around,
Speaker 2: but you're getting round with a kunya for him? That
Speaker 2: is a beautiful cell high.
Speaker 1: Now what are we doing with Brenton Doyle. We're waiting
Speaker 1: for him to I don't think they're gonna put him
Speaker 1: on the iel. We're just waiting for him to get
Speaker 1: back into games. That's it.
Speaker 2: The Rockies too. I've given up long ago on trying
Speaker 2: to figure out what the Rockies are doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no idea. I'm not. I'm not the biggest Brenton
Speaker 1: Doyle guy, but he's been decent. Is Robbie Ray even
Speaker 1: droppable at this point?
Speaker 2: I'd prefer to sit him, but I'd understand dropping. The
Speaker 2: command is all over the place. I mentioned the broadside
Speaker 2: of a bar and earlier Robbie Ray. This guy couldn't
Speaker 2: hit anything. He's striking guys out. But every game we're
Speaker 2: seeing I think the last line was eight strikeouts and
Speaker 2: five walks, and that's become kind of regular for him.
Speaker 2: Prefer to sit him as opposed to dropping him if you.
Speaker 1: Can those those like spring training darlings like Doyle or Not, Doyle, Robbie, Ray,
Speaker 1: Gavin Williams. Just it's not it's not going so great
Speaker 1: right now, Jake Berger or Ronda got Rice too, burger
Speaker 1: Man getting back into it, Burgers starting to pick it
Speaker 1: back up. This is a Burger for me. But you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to leaf leave off of him. I
Speaker 1: know you're a big Roanda guy, though.
Speaker 2: I like all of them there. If you can only
Speaker 2: have two, I'd probably go with Burger and Rice, but
Speaker 2: Randa deserves to be on rosters too.
Speaker 1: You're making a meal, you're making lunch, Burger and Rice.
Speaker 1: What do we do about Nola? Just be patient? I
Speaker 1: had him lower than a lot of people. Yes, you
Speaker 1: have to be patient, because what is the alternative for
Speaker 1: you to release Aaron Nola and cut him? No, unless say,
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you're playing in the six man leagues.
Speaker 1: Wait for him to maybe get right and move off.
Speaker 1: I feel like he might be naturally kind of a
Speaker 1: slower ish guy gets going mid season. But I'm not
Speaker 1: the biggest Nola guy. What about Yo Rico?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I came into the season. I think he was
Speaker 2: like thirty two or something for me in my rankings,
Speaker 2: which is the lowest since I've started doing rankings that
Speaker 2: Aaron Nola has ever come in on the sp ranks.
Speaker 2: But you know every other year he does this. In
Speaker 2: even years, Aaron Nola is good. In odd years, Eron
Speaker 2: Nola is bad. I know it sounds like the stupidest
Speaker 2: analysis you've ever heard, but go and look at his
Speaker 2: stat lines every year going back back to twenty seventeen,
Speaker 2: and it's just the pattern. So I don't know how
Speaker 2: analytical that is, not very much so, but it just
Speaker 2: seems to be what he does. He has a good
Speaker 2: year followed by a bad year followed by a good year.
Speaker 1: Like how analytical it's not at all, But it's just
Speaker 1: a fun thing to take a look at. Any news
Speaker 1: on Merrill, he was he's at the State with the
Speaker 1: pottery stadium, I guess, and he was doing just running
Speaker 1: drills yesterday. Not going to come off the il I
Speaker 1: think we mentioned yesterday, but he was just doing some
Speaker 1: running stuff with Joe Musgrove. It still looks like he's
Speaker 1: a little bit away. By the way, I need to
Speaker 1: trade Naylor so I can make room for Kurtz. I
Speaker 1: got soda Strom too, No, you don't. I just want
Speaker 1: to point that out. You do not need to trade Nailor,
Speaker 1: nor should you trade Naylor. He's going to be an
Speaker 1: RBI monster this whole season, regardless of Kurtz or Sodastrom.
Speaker 1: Find something else. Trade soda Strom on his absolutely hot streak.
Speaker 1: Do you think Tatas Soderstrom is gonna hit fifty homers
Speaker 1: this year? I don't like. Maybe in that ballpark and
Speaker 1: we'll look back and that'll be silly. But I would
Speaker 1: trade soa from before I even think about trading Nailor.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, is what Kurts is Mark. People are going
Speaker 2: crazy tripping over themselves about Kurtz. See how the manager,
Speaker 2: because you just see how you value him right there?
Speaker 2: You want him over Nailer. If that's the kind of
Speaker 2: line in your league, you might be able to go
Speaker 2: to hundred and twenty player for him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They say the best time to trade a prospect is
Speaker 1: right before they're called up, So it might be the
Speaker 1: best valuation of someone. If you can get nailor return
Speaker 1: cost for a guy like Kurtz, yeah, I might consider
Speaker 1: it unless it's a keeper. Is Neto going to get
Speaker 1: activated today? They're not telling us they like I think
Speaker 1: he is. He's played a handful of Triple A games.
Speaker 1: They said they are not comfortable mentioning when it is.
Speaker 1: I think it'll be like tomorrow. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I think we're going to be looking at a tomorrow
Speaker 1: call up on zach Netto. But for whatever reason, they
Speaker 1: just don't want to let us know all the information. Friends,
Speaker 1: it is that time. No, it's not a Joey p read.
Speaker 1: It's a Welsh version of it. So in you win,
Speaker 1: be damned, you train hard, you show up, But lately
Speaker 1: something feels off. I mean Joe had to take a vacation.
Speaker 1: Maybe there is a reason fatigue lingers for joe recovery.
Speaker 1: It's taking longer in his performance. It's just not where
Speaker 1: it used to be. Those might be signs of low testosterone,
Speaker 1: and an Arizona trip isn't going to fix that, but
Speaker 1: maybe Kaisa trex can. The low testosterone is a condition
Speaker 1: affecting about thirty percent of adult men in America and
Speaker 1: Kaisa Trex is an FDA approved testosterone replacement therapy designed

Speaker 1: Well, I didn't even see Low T Joe. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: capital L Welsh and low T Joe.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: Those are your new characters, Kelly. I think we got
Speaker 1: something we can work on here, poor Lo T Joe.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. Kaisa Trex is here digging the slow soft guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do it a little different than Joe. So there
Speaker 1: you go. Shout out to Kaisa treks there. All right,
Speaker 1: let's keep jamming and rolling. Where were we three up
Speaker 1: and three down? Kyle Raley. Kyle Rally hit two homers
Speaker 1: against the Reds yesterday. Chris Bassett, as we mentioned, struck
Speaker 1: out the ten. Patrick Freakin Corbin dominated. He looked like
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw when five and one third struck out six
Speaker 1: had Mike Trout just staring at whatever the hell he
Speaker 1: was looking at. Dude, it's the meme. I think I
Speaker 1: text you this, that meme out there. That's that's like,
Speaker 1: you know, whenever I bet us dollars on bop bop bop,
Speaker 1: that's me with Patrick Corbyn. Every time I bet on
Speaker 1: kat Patrick Corbyn, I'm like, he's gonna get obliterated. He
Speaker 1: is elite, and then the next start it's just boom.
Speaker 1: I don't are you gonna fall for that at all?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna fall Patrick Corbin, Tyler Molly or Patrick Corbyn?
Speaker 2: If I had to pick one, Kyler Molly, I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm never taking Patrick Corbyn unless we're hopping in the
Speaker 2: dolore and going back to twenty nineteen, I'm not taking
Speaker 2: Patrick Corban. And I know I forget if it was
Speaker 2: on leading off for which show it was yesterday, But
Speaker 2: I said, if it's the hits, if it's the runs,
Speaker 2: if it's whatever, bet against Patrick Corbyn and then there
Speaker 2: you go, that's baseball.
Speaker 1: Did I thought Patrick Corban was pitching two days ago
Speaker 1: and thought he then he was pitching yesterday, and it does.
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbyn looked great. I'm not gonna fall for it.
Speaker 1: That's definitely a fool me once, shame on you type
Speaker 1: of thing. We're not gonna do the Patrick Corbyn thing.
Speaker 1: But I'll admit he looked looked pretty good. He had
Speaker 1: the one Patrick Corbyn used the Kistrict. The Mike Trout
Speaker 1: at bat was so crazy because Mike Trout watched like
Speaker 1: a ninety two mile an hour fastball go down the
Speaker 1: middle on a three to two count, so he was
Speaker 1: clearly looking for slight. He just had these guys all
Speaker 1: mixed up and he was throwing for strike. So it
Speaker 1: was pretty crazy to watch. Maybe if Corbyn's going up
Speaker 1: against a lesser of a lineup, I don't know what
Speaker 1: the schedule looks like, maybe he would be a streaming option,
Speaker 1: but I just don't think I can fall for it.
Speaker 1: So those were the ups on the downs. Herman Marquez
Speaker 1: did make it out of the first he led seven
Speaker 1: earned runs. Aaron Nola's we talked about he got lit
Speaker 1: up by the Giants. Nine hits, six earned runs, walked
Speaker 1: for and a little golden Now, yeah, golden sombrero is
Speaker 1: the zero for four. I was about to say, we're
Speaker 1: not talking about the Cinco stinko, but golden sombreros for
Speaker 1: Michael Harris, Austin Riley and j t Romuto. We haven't
Speaker 1: had any Sinco stinkos in a little bit, so the
Speaker 1: hell's going on? We need a little bit of that stinko,
Speaker 1: Sinco Stinko. See again, I can't speak today. I can
Speaker 1: talk about twelve different symptoms for a low tee thing,
Speaker 1: I can't say Sinco or Sinco injuries. Matt Wallner is
Speaker 1: going to be placed on the IL ten day with
Speaker 1: a left hamstring strain, so that's brutal. Marlin's activating Connor Norby.
Speaker 1: I saw some people in the chat a little bit
Speaker 1: excited about that. Connor Norby twelve team. Are you a
Speaker 1: go on Connor Norby with twelve team? I can ask
Speaker 1: you this because Piez of Pia hates Norby, but where
Speaker 1: are you at?
Speaker 2: Why does he hate noise?
Speaker 1: He just hates him hates him. He's like, is garbage
Speaker 1: needs to take tracks? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: No, I think he's a solid player. I wouldn't mind
Speaker 2: adding him in a twelve teamer. I think there are
Speaker 2: still going to be some strikeout issues most likely, but
Speaker 2: I would take a chance. Like what we've seen from
Speaker 2: him in the minors has been pretty impressive, you know,
Speaker 2: hating for average hitting, for power, stealing bases. The lineup
Speaker 2: and ballpark are not going to do any favors. But
Speaker 2: I think he's worth a speculative ad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who would you rather have? Connor Norby or Luis Rainguifo.
Speaker 2: I'd probably go with Renifo.
Speaker 1: I might speculate on Norby. Norby really good barrel numbers.
Speaker 1: That team is kind of going Matt Nervios we talked
Speaker 1: about yesterday, hit another bomb, Davi or Edward gets on.
Speaker 1: It's just it's not that old Marlins team. So I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm speculating on Norby if he's floating out
Speaker 1: there for people. Red's placed Christian in Carnacion Strand on
Speaker 1: the tin day al with the lower back inflammation. He
Speaker 1: loves at Il. They recalled Noelvie Marte, but they also
Speaker 1: mentioned that Spencer Steer is like super close to being
Speaker 1: able to play first base, so I think that's going
Speaker 1: to be an alternative. Brian BeO struck out seven, allowed
Speaker 1: four runs over four and one third on Wednesday rehabbing
Speaker 1: with thea A Portland, so it looks like Brian Beyo
Speaker 1: is closing in on being available pretty soon. Ranger Swarrez
Speaker 1: struck out seven in a what was it a low
Speaker 1: A minor league game, so that's probably going to be
Speaker 1: a couple more starts, but he's going to, you know,
Speaker 1: so maybe you want to if you're into the Ranger Swarrez,
Speaker 1: you can pick him up. He should be up in
Speaker 1: the next week or two. A few other injuries, White
Speaker 1: Sox activated Andrew Benintendi from the Tin Day il as
Speaker 1: Austin Slater is going to be undergoing surgery to repair
Speaker 1: a torn meniscus in his right knee, expected to be
Speaker 1: out about six weeks. But Ben in ten years back,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to do this because we had this
Speaker 1: big question about stashing pictures and stuff from yesterday's show,
Speaker 1: one of the shows, and you were like, I don't
Speaker 1: even know what's going on with ury Prez. He threw yesterday,
Speaker 1: and then we found out today that Uri Perez is
Speaker 1: roughly one month away from a minor league rehab assignment
Speaker 1: according to Clayton McCullough. So if you're one month out,
Speaker 1: we're calling that mid May rehabit assignment, I would expect
Speaker 1: is going to be three or four starts mid June.
Speaker 1: Looks like we might be getting your ead. So that
Speaker 1: is a very tangible one. So pending what your il
Speaker 1: situation is in your fantasy league, I actually would go
Speaker 1: pick up Uri Prez right now because we have something
Speaker 1: very tangible. It's not in the very near future, but
Speaker 1: June you could get him back, and I kind of
Speaker 1: feel like they would let him roll out a little bit.
Speaker 1: So are you going to pick up and speculate on
Speaker 1: urre Ury Perez or Shane Bieber? Who would you rather
Speaker 1: speculate on.
Speaker 2: It's going to be kind of a similar situation. I
Speaker 2: think Bieber is a little bit behind Uri. URI's the
Speaker 2: younger guy. Higher upside being said, Bieber's want a cy
Speaker 2: young before. So they're both interesting, but I think I
Speaker 2: would go with Uri interesting.
Speaker 1: With Jerry's saying too, here you expect Yuri is going
Speaker 1: to be on probably more of a pitch count than
Speaker 1: a guy like Bieber is going to be, but he's
Speaker 1: gonna probably beat the timeline. I think I would still
Speaker 1: go with Yuri and then Yuri or Manaya Maya. Manaya
Speaker 1: looks seems like he's like a month ahead of Yuri
Speaker 1: at minimum, so I would go with Manaya.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a big Manya guy, but I probably
Speaker 2: still go with him.
Speaker 1: All right, let's hit some bets. I was one in
Speaker 1: one yesterday. I don't know where you were at, Joey.
Speaker 1: I don't think we've still earned back the big song.
Speaker 1: While piece of Pia is back, he can sing it.
Speaker 1: I will not. Let's get to business. It's best bets
Speaker 1: of the day. You've got a bunch of player props
Speaker 1: for us, Joe. You can tell us how you did yesterday.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I don't know what your tally was,
Speaker 1: but let's hear that, and let's hear what you got
Speaker 1: for today.
Speaker 2: I was two for three yesterday, which is not bad.
Speaker 2: Jose Ramirez. Jose Ramirez went over the total base prop
Speaker 2: and Max Meyer. The over was three and a half
Speaker 2: on the strikeouts. I wish I bet the latter because
Speaker 2: he got eight and he actually got jobbed on another
Speaker 2: call at least one other The umps were not great
Speaker 2: in that game, and then Lawrence Butler did only have
Speaker 2: one hit. I bet the over one and a half
Speaker 2: total bases, but he stole a couple bags too, So
Speaker 2: if you start him in fantasy, we'll take it. I
Speaker 2: know that's not what the point of it was, but
Speaker 2: we'll move on to today. On a bit of a
Speaker 2: hot streak, Pee Alonso over one and a half total
Speaker 2: bases plus one fifties, three consecutive multi hit games. This
Speaker 2: line feels pretty nice for Pete Alonzo today. I don't
Speaker 2: know why it's so high. He's been like red hot.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons. Plante has been pretty good, and
Speaker 1: he's a massive ground ball pitcher. That's actually I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be talking about that here shortly, so I would expect
Speaker 1: that maybe has something to do with it. Like you're
Speaker 1: talking like seventy percent ground ball he's running right now.
Speaker 1: But still to that, I kind of agree with you.
Speaker 1: Alonzo has been super hot, and when the ball travels,
Speaker 1: two bases are usually in tow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for him, two bases it's pretty easy to come by,
Speaker 2: especially recently. And then the other total base problem going
Speaker 2: with his junior Camonaro going up against Will Warren in
Speaker 2: that little tiny ballpark in Tampa Bay. Will Warren and
Speaker 2: has not been so great so far, walking a lot
Speaker 2: of guys. He's got a five to fourteen era. Haven't
Speaker 2: been that impressed Junior Camanaro over one and a half
Speaker 2: total base is also a really nice number at plus
Speaker 2: one p forty and then a little bit of a
Speaker 2: safer bet still plus money. But this one is also
Speaker 2: a line that I don't really understand. Emerson Hancock, who
Speaker 2: has been brutal when we've seen him in the major
Speaker 2: leagues going into Great American Ballpark to Fay Cincinnati and
Speaker 2: the line is at two and a half runs and
Speaker 2: you're getting plus money on it. This one might go
Speaker 2: over in the first inning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this one's gonna happen like pretty immediately here,
Speaker 1: So I actually am also I'm on the reds for
Speaker 1: the first five run line on that. I think that's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like gonna start in like two minutes as we're going.
Speaker 1: So that'll be for live people betting that are watching
Speaker 1: the show live on Twitch, we'll get to see what
Speaker 1: the results are pretty quick. For the YouTube side, I
Speaker 1: agree with.
Speaker 2: You on that.
Speaker 1: I'm not a handcock guy on my bets for the today.
Speaker 1: For today, I'm going with the A's first five run line.
Speaker 1: So that's just to be up by a run. It's
Speaker 1: plus money. It's going up against Davis Martin. The A's
Speaker 1: offense has just been just absurd. You know. I love
Speaker 1: Rooker in the outfield, Butler heating up. I love that
Speaker 1: top five of the lineup. It's been such a such
Speaker 1: a big boost. And then you ad Kurtz it's gonna
Speaker 1: be great. That doesn't matter for this Davis Martin, he's
Speaker 1: had one big blow up game. I think the A's
Speaker 1: are going to get to them first five. They'll be
Speaker 1: up by a run and that is even money, which
Speaker 1: I like. And then Andrea Plante has mentioned before four
Speaker 1: and a half. On the strikeouts, we're going with an
Speaker 1: under two. I know a lot of people associate me
Speaker 1: with overs rightfully, so it's a little bit juiced, but
Speaker 1: I really like this one. Mets are like seventh, I
Speaker 1: believe in the league, or it's top it's between top
Speaker 1: five and top seven in least strikeouts per game, so
Speaker 1: they're not striking out a ton already. Then you've got
Speaker 1: a really really heavy, heavy ground ball pitcher in Polante,
Speaker 1: and of his three starts, he's only struck out over
Speaker 1: five or he's five or more once. So one of
Speaker 1: his three starts, he's hit this to a team that's
Speaker 1: not striking out a bunch. SODA's coming off of a
Speaker 1: strikeout game. We're going to get right there. Lots of
Speaker 1: ground balls for the Cardinals, So I'm going to go
Speaker 1: under four and a half strikeouts on Polante with that
Speaker 1: ace first five. Those are my bets. Those are Joey's bets.

Speaker 1: run board? I got nothing. I'm moving down a tiny bit.
Speaker 1: Let's see Milwonkee. Our nine to ten looks like we
Speaker 1: had a couple people jump up. We've got two twelves
Speaker 1: and eleven and some tens Razor Ramon getting back up
Speaker 1: there into the top five. Looking over on the other

Speaker 1: going today, mister Joe Rico on the home run call,
Speaker 1: you actually stole mine, but you got to before me,
Speaker 1: so it's yours.
Speaker 2: It pairs in with my Emerson Hancock, bet Ellie Della
Speaker 2: Cruz and my god, do I need a home run?
Speaker 2: I got one. I thought I had two. I have
Speaker 2: one and it came on opening day, So I am
Speaker 2: absolutely cold as ice here, but I think Ellie, it
Speaker 2: might even happen while we're on the air here at
Speaker 2: the end.
Speaker 1: Yeah game just started that, Yeah game is going right now.
Speaker 1: Little Brady singers cleaning up a little bit, if you will,
Speaker 1: not on Discord, but in the first inning. So Ellie,
Speaker 1: I like that one. I would have probably done the
Speaker 1: exact same had you not. I'm going to go over
Speaker 1: onto Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber plus four hundred. By the way,
Speaker 1: he was also plus four hundred, so four to one
Speaker 1: on FANDLE if you did end up wanting to bet it,
Speaker 1: he's the number one in that game. I got a
Speaker 1: little Chris Sanchez action happening. So I am hoping Kyle
Speaker 1: Schwarber go and get me going, get me up to nine,
Speaker 1: trying to get to double digits, trying to get a
Speaker 1: little bit of room before joeyp comes back. All right, friends,
Speaker 1: that is it. Thank you so much for hanging out.

Speaker 1: remind everybody again on the twitch side, we are so
Speaker 1: close to the April sub goal. We are eleven away.
