Speaker 1: and it's me Joey Pa Joe pisap like that. How's
Speaker 1: that for some fun? We're here talking baseball. Bryce Harper's back.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get into that. We're gonna get into how
Speaker 1: I did on the strike propaganda yesterday, the strikeout propaganda.
Speaker 1: I've got so many strikeout props? How did we do? Oh?
Speaker 2: You like the guilds?
Speaker 1: You like strike I am like the Writer's Guild. You know,
Speaker 1: there was a time years ago where there was so
Speaker 1: much reality television going on that people like the Writers
Speaker 1: Guild was really in a bad spot. Now I feel
Speaker 1: like it's the opposite. I feel like every single streaming
Speaker 1: network would stop. I can't believe that you and I
Speaker 1: don't have a series on Netflix or Hulu right now.
Speaker 1: Like it is, so many of these things are like
Speaker 1: look at this show, look at that show, look at
Speaker 1: this show, And they all have writers and They all
Speaker 1: have people working on them, which is great for Hollywood,
Speaker 1: but I literally can't keep track of any of them.
Speaker 1: So good for them, go get paid. Well, are you
Speaker 1: going on strike this afternoon?
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm not on strike. I'm here to work.
Speaker 2: I'm here to do the work because today it's a
Speaker 2: glorious day. It's a glorious day and all the land
Speaker 2: of baseball because the piece of news we're going to
Speaker 2: talk about here in a little bit, but we get
Speaker 2: to talk about amazingness from yesterday, amazingness today and beyond.
Speaker 1: I have a personal question to ask you at the
Speaker 1: top of the show, and I'm putting you on the
Speaker 1: spot here. Don't worry, it's not that it's not that interesting.
Speaker 1: So before the show, I'm folding the kids laundry, you know,
Speaker 1: trying to you know, get all that together. And not
Speaker 1: one of my children puts their socks just in. They
Speaker 1: all put them inside out when they put them into
Speaker 1: the wash. Now, I don't know if that's the right
Speaker 1: thing to do with the wrong thing to do, but
Speaker 1: it is the most tedious thing to have to turn
Speaker 1: every single one inside out and then match them again. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm the kind of person I take my socks off
Speaker 1: and I just put them in. I don't turn them
Speaker 1: inside out? Do you turn them inside out when you
Speaker 1: put them into the wash? I want to know maybe
Speaker 1: I'm the anomaly here and I'm the weird one.
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't have I mean, if we're gonna be
Speaker 2: really honest, I'm very little shoe. I'm a I'm a
Speaker 2: Sandals guy because.
Speaker 1: I live out here in Arizona, Arizona, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And also I know a pair of socks.
Speaker 2: Well those are like huge feet like I just bought
Speaker 2: I think did I said this one?
Speaker 1: Here? Was it?
Speaker 2: I it's a bought a pair of fourteen Nike running
Speaker 2: shoes like that's it's a crazy So it's not crazy
Speaker 2: to me. I will just put them in. My kids
Speaker 2: what they do is they take their clothes and they
Speaker 2: throw them across the house and sometimes they'll take tape
Speaker 2: and they just tape them against the walls and they
Speaker 2: attempt to make the biggest possible mess they can and
Speaker 2: throw it everywhere, literally everywhere across the house. There are
Speaker 2: closed so we have to go and find it. It's
Speaker 2: like a scavenger hunt, and then we can put it
Speaker 2: into the washes.
Speaker 1: Interesting buzz in the chat on this conversation too, like
Speaker 1: there's a cause of Danni h. He never does sandals.
Speaker 1: He also lives in Arizona, So there you go. There
Speaker 1: you go. Positive grouch says, I pull off my socks
Speaker 1: as they go into the wash, but he always, you know,
Speaker 1: go ahead and doesn't turn them inside out. We've got
Speaker 1: Tim who said my kids do the same thing. It's frustrating.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, now we have baseball talk about it.
Speaker 1: Am I losing something?
Speaker 2: Like you said, you just take them off and throw
Speaker 2: them in them off saying they do the same thing.
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying, they take them off inside out, like
Speaker 1: they just rip them off. I take them off and
Speaker 1: they are exactly how they were when I had them
Speaker 1: on my feet. They just rip them off inside out,
Speaker 1: throw them in there. So now they watch, which is
Speaker 1: probably smarter. You're watching the inside of the sock. I mean,
Speaker 1: it makes sense, but it's tedious and I gotta put
Speaker 1: him inside out.
Speaker 2: Then Peter Gross So this is all the conversations, I guess,
Speaker 2: so weigh on.
Speaker 1: Me unleasure that guy from House a Dragon, he loves feet.
Speaker 1: Let's get to to baseball, Welsh, Let's get to at
Speaker 1: the top. Here, Rice Harper came back, oh for four
Speaker 1: with three k's. There you go. I mean, what did
Speaker 1: we expect? Did we expect him to come back and
Speaker 1: go three for four with a home run, two doubles. No,
Speaker 1: he had zero training. This is gonna be The fascinating
Speaker 1: thing is how long before Bryce Harper is Bryce Harper?
Speaker 1: Because I'll tell you what, if he doesn't look like
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper till mid June, then all of this early
Speaker 1: return stuff was a big waste of time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it's going up against a
Speaker 2: lefty here too. The guy said he didn't want to
Speaker 2: take any of his ad bats in the minors and
Speaker 2: he wanted to do that, you know, at the major
Speaker 2: league level. So yeah, like you said, this is what
Speaker 2: was gonna happen. I mean I'm not really sure, Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: what is everybody? Is anybody freaking out? This is what
Speaker 2: it was gonna happen. This was kind of part of that, like, hey,
Speaker 2: you know, if you're a worry ward are you gonna
Speaker 2: maybe get out and maybe move off? Now it's like
Speaker 2: a little notch down when everyone's like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: the three strikeouts, like it's gonna be an adjustment period,
Speaker 2: but it will all quiet the minute he hits one
Speaker 2: four twenty five off of whomever. It's just probably gonna
Speaker 2: take a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Razor Ramon. By the way, I do a TV
Speaker 1: show for the last four years on Sports Grid, so
Speaker 1: I haven't left you yet. I'm not going anywhere unless
Speaker 1: NFL network comes calling, which I don't think that's happening anything.
Speaker 1: I'm not pretty enough for that. Maybe I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, or Netflix if they wanted to do more Netflix.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty reality show, I think so. I thought our
Speaker 1: draft coverage was good enough to be on a network,
Speaker 1: that's for sure. And yes, Ryan, I gently take my
Speaker 1: socks off, very very gross.
Speaker 2: This is gross. All of his savages with your sock stuff.
Speaker 1: Move on. You know what? You know what was gross
Speaker 1: or filthy? Bryce Miller wait ten strikeouts? Boy, talk about
Speaker 1: the weekly fab budget just getting skyrocket for this guy. Right,
Speaker 1: So yesterday we had tempered expectations. Sixteen consecutive batters he
Speaker 1: got out. Twenty four year old pitching prospect came up
Speaker 1: for the Mariners yesterday. In case you missed it, you
Speaker 1: don't get a lot of double digit K debuts. It
Speaker 1: doesn't happen very often. So now the problem is this,
Speaker 1: I just recorded the waiver wire video. He was already
Speaker 1: on it going into yesterday, regardless of what you were gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, have to spend on him or how he
Speaker 1: was going to perform. But now you have this, what
Speaker 1: is the inflation cost on the waverwire for Bryce Miller.
Speaker 2: I think Bryce Miller is going to top Logan Allen
Speaker 2: and I think he's gonna sit in the tanner Byby
Speaker 2: range because there, remember you have to do the the
Speaker 2: equation because this is the a's So everybody wants to
Speaker 2: remind you and be like Wells. So, you know, a
Speaker 2: normal team, maybe this was like four hits, seven strikeouts,
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. He was so good. Just into perspective.
Speaker 2: His fastball was absolutely absurd. He had eleven whiffs on
Speaker 2: his fastball, forty percent CSW. His others kind of started
Speaker 2: a little bit slow. I was actually going back and
Speaker 2: forth with Lance Brastowski, who did really great breakdown this morning.
Speaker 2: They baseball Savant classifies as a cutter slider, except I
Speaker 2: believe the cutter is that gyro that he told me about,
Speaker 2: and the slider is actually more of a sweeper. And
Speaker 2: he's still trying to find command of that, but nobody
Speaker 2: could do anything on his fastball. And this is like
Speaker 2: what he's built around. He pinpointed that thing. He has
Speaker 2: a four pitch arsenal. So I think he's gonna go
Speaker 2: probably around Biby Price and it's probably gonna be one
Speaker 2: fifty to two hundred, so fifteen to twenty percent, and
Speaker 2: that might even be more of a percent. By the way,
Speaker 2: this is all not even talking about Mason Miller.
Speaker 3: Who was on the other side and had a no
Speaker 3: hitter through he got take He got a no hitter
Speaker 3: and taken off of it because he got to one
Speaker 3: hundred pitches. Both pitchers hit thirteen swing and misses. Both
Speaker 3: very different pictures. You know, that fastball just blows it
Speaker 3: by everybody. With Mason Miller. Bryce Miller definitely a little
Speaker 3: bit more of a tactician if you look at it,
Speaker 3: with you know, the cutter and the slider moving around.
Speaker 3: He didn't really throw a lot of changeups. As he
Speaker 3: gets more comfortable, he's going to be great. This is
Speaker 3: what I had been selling in the preseason, So thank
Speaker 3: you all the nice people that are loving that I
Speaker 3: had talked about him. But Bryce Miller was killer, And
Speaker 3: it wasn't just the a's.
Speaker 2: It was a little bit.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just I mean that helps, well, good facing
Speaker 1: the a's helps, but that's not going to help you
Speaker 1: with the inflation rate on the way. Nobody's gonna care
Speaker 1: about that. They're gonna look at the outcome and they say,
Speaker 1: oh my god, tens reikeouts a run and pay double
Speaker 1: what they were gonna pay.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Is he going to line up to Sunday? Would
Speaker 2: he have a start on Sunday?
Speaker 1: I'd have to know if they have an off day
Speaker 1: Thursday or not. I have to leave.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's important because you know, like the Tuesday would
Speaker 2: line up to a Sunday start, and he.
Speaker 1: Just Sunday and throws up a turd.
Speaker 2: That might the wild one too, is you know it's
Speaker 2: a little bit later. It could really line up right.
Speaker 2: It could like you know, push right up against like
Speaker 2: fab time. But like I said, I think it's gonna
Speaker 2: be somewhere to fifteen to twenty percent. People are gonna
Speaker 2: be aggressive because what did the Mariners need another picture?
Speaker 2: And that dude had a no hitter going into the six.
Speaker 1: All right, let's play a game which Miller Bryce or Mason.
Speaker 1: Who would you rather rest of season?
Speaker 2: A man? Like?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: So for how I can kind of be like, hey,
Speaker 2: look at me, nobody had.
Speaker 1: That's exactly, by the way, that's a really good impression
Speaker 1: of you.
Speaker 2: I'm the Welsh and me nobody was right than me
Speaker 2: on Bryce Miller. It's true I was the highest in
Speaker 2: the world on Bryce Miller, but I probably was like
Speaker 2: one of the lower on me Mason Miller. So like
Speaker 2: where you're right, you can be wrong, you know, pick
Speaker 2: and choose. So like I'm gonna take Bryce Miller, Mason's
Speaker 2: Miller's stuff looks a little bit more electric, but.
Speaker 1: Brice Mill in there well, better team too. I don't
Speaker 1: disagree with that dynasty. Who would you rather have? Mason
Speaker 1: Miller or Bryce Miller?
Speaker 2: I'm a b I had Bryce Miller over Mason in
Speaker 2: my all, my stuff, my prospect, my dynasty prior to this.
Speaker 1: By the way, in the chat, just to get back
Speaker 1: to the untalkable uh point, we had at the top
Speaker 1: of the shoes some animals and crazy people out there
Speaker 1: put the one sock and one shoe on at a time.
Speaker 1: Who does that? What you put your socks on then
Speaker 1: your shoes on?
Speaker 2: He was like they do left foot sock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sock than shoes and then sock than shoe. The
Speaker 1: hell's going on here? What the world are we living in?
Speaker 2: That is weird? By the way, uh, Joel said. Bryce
Speaker 2: Miller lined up against Houston on Sunday, so.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that could be the reckoning a little bit there,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 2: That might bring the cost down if he does pitch that.
Speaker 1: And the problem is if you're in those daily transaction
Speaker 1: leagues and he wasn't picked up yesterday right now, I
Speaker 1: mean you had to have put in, you know, us
Speaker 1: serious bid to get him, and you just got to
Speaker 1: hold your breath. Ezekiel Duran propelled the Rangers past the
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. So he had a big home
Speaker 1: run and ev of one oh seven point five on
Speaker 1: that home run, he's got three twenty eight five, three
Speaker 1: fifty seven five twenty two h slash right now with
Speaker 1: three homers and fourteen rubies got two steals too. What
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Ezekiel Durant, because this is another
Speaker 1: guy kind of way under the radar.
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, it's funny with him. We
Speaker 2: just had this long conversation on rates and barrels me,
Speaker 2: you know, and DVR about him yesterday and this team
Speaker 2: because you know they've got outfield help. It was actually
Speaker 2: built around Evan Carter. But my argument has been, you know,
Speaker 2: as they're looking at this, you know, entire team in
Speaker 2: this construction, Ezekiel Durant is playing shortstop. Corey Seeger will
Speaker 2: be back at some point. That's going to take him off.
Speaker 2: I don't think you want him out of this lineup.
Speaker 2: And I think he can go and play left field.
Speaker 2: So I really think you could be looking at like
Speaker 2: him and left field, locking that down, and then you've
Speaker 2: got you know, adules and right field, so your center field.
Speaker 2: There was really more about the center field position, but
Speaker 2: my point to all of it was Zekiel duran has
Speaker 2: played so well and is versatile, hitting the ball really solid,
Speaker 2: could run that. I don't think he can be taken
Speaker 2: off this team. He might be more of a super
Speaker 2: util type of player as the season goes on because
Speaker 2: his spot will be taken. But he is definitely interesting
Speaker 2: to look at him, maybe like deeper twelve team leagues
Speaker 2: until seekers back and then let's just see how they
Speaker 2: you know, how they sparse it out.
Speaker 1: Okay, continuing to discuss the last night's action. Joe Ryan
Speaker 1: six shoutout innings for him doesn't get the W of
Speaker 1: course though, but he's now five and zher with a
Speaker 1: two three seven the RRA on the year, just saying
Speaker 1: it's another cy young candidate right there. For Ady Peralto
Speaker 1: was great. This is an important point too. He's in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Ten strikeouts for him, I think a tied a career high.
Speaker 1: I believe if I saw it this morning. But you know,
Speaker 1: pu couple, he asked me during the week, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't want to start par Alta in Colorado. And I
Speaker 1: said why I want to start? I want sat everybody
Speaker 1: against the Rocky. You start everybody against the Rockies until
Speaker 1: further notice. I don't care if it's in Colorado, outside
Speaker 1: of Colorado. I don't care if it's at the Colorado Cafe.
Speaker 1: One like that that Jay Cutler mean right now out
Speaker 1: Colorado or whatever? This You know Peralta in seven, you know.
Speaker 2: Well that's the lebron one goal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I feel like you know, Freddy Pralta has
Speaker 1: been tremendous this year. The Colorado offense is not good,
Speaker 1: although Ezekiel Tavar seems to be pulling out of the tailspin.
Speaker 1: That's one that if you can buy low on him
Speaker 1: or somebody dropped him after being disappointed in him in
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks, I'd be back on that bandwagon.
Speaker 1: Speaking of bandwagons, to be on Brandon Fott day, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. The twenty four year old is a three
Speaker 1: to nine one one point one eight whip and thirty
Speaker 1: strikeouts in twenty five innings to just six walks in
Speaker 1: triple A. He is getting the call Brandon fought. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's a fun one, Bryce Miller or fought rest of season.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I think, like I'm gonna say, Brandon
Speaker 2: Fott probably no matter what. But there's arguments. So here
Speaker 2: a couple things real quick. I'm gonna be doing a
Speaker 2: live stream on my itl twitch if anyone wants to
Speaker 2: hang out for Brandon Fott start, so you can jake
Speaker 2: that out of Twitch, the TV slash in this league, fotcast,
Speaker 2: the Fought cast exactly. I'm gonna be livestream and just
Speaker 2: be a companion thing. There are things to be worried about.
Speaker 2: Lance Brasdowski did a great breakdown of him yesterday and
Speaker 2: the most important thing in this is to watch his slider,
Speaker 2: because his slider is a little bit more unique. It's
Speaker 2: kind of sweeper. I never heard this term before. It's
Speaker 2: called the hand of God's slider. It's a very low
Speaker 2: amount of people that throw it. It's a very very
Speaker 2: deep sweeping slide. I know, I've never heard that term before.
Speaker 1: Are you making this up now?
Speaker 2: I thought.
Speaker 1: I was like, it's not like a slutter, It's not
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: This is a real exact opposite. It's an anti slutter.
Speaker 1: It's the heart slutter.
Speaker 2: Well, dude, when I when I got on throw it
Speaker 2: on Sundays, No, you can't throw It's like Chick fil A.
Speaker 2: No Sundays, that's the only time you can't throw it.
Speaker 2: So he'll never start on Sunday. But like I said
Speaker 2: it to DVR on Eno and they were both like, oh, yeah, totally,
Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, totally. It's a hand of God slider.
Speaker 2: I've totally heard of that. But it has a high
Speaker 2: sweep to it that he can command. But here's the
Speaker 2: problem with it. That's one of the reasons why he
Speaker 2: gives up those fly balls. So what I'm watching for
Speaker 2: today is the overall command he doesn't throw the curveball
Speaker 2: a ton. How the fastball does so much of the
Speaker 2: work stuff, plus numbers have been kind of mitigated in
Speaker 2: the PCL. So what we're looking for is we're looking
Speaker 2: for command, and if the command is off, he might
Speaker 2: get lit up. Texas is a tough team. If that
Speaker 2: slider's going, he's going to eat him up. He's going
Speaker 2: to eat him up. If he's commanding it. He's a
Speaker 2: solid command pitcher. But there's just a couple of things
Speaker 2: to watch for. So if he gets lit up, it
Speaker 2: might change a tiny bit. But at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, I'm here for Brandon Fott, I'm here for
Speaker 2: the Big Three pitch Mix, and I'm here for the
Speaker 2: hand of God.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I've never heard of that. It feels
Speaker 1: like X plug. It feels like something that's made up.
Speaker 1: I never heard that. Are you sure they're not like
Speaker 1: getting you one, you know, one over on you.
Speaker 2: Well, they're all a big group on it. I mean,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, all it is is
Speaker 2: it has so much more. I want to say it
Speaker 2: was like vertical break than a just a traditional slider,
Speaker 2: but it's essentially a sweeper as you know, had said,
Speaker 2: it's like it's like a version.
Speaker 1: Can't we just called a slider?
Speaker 2: Can't just who was the what it was like Deckie
Speaker 2: or dice k. Didn't he have like a weird like
Speaker 2: all these terms.
Speaker 1: A lot of the Japanese pitchers come over like you.
Speaker 1: Dorvers has seven seven hundred and fourteen pitches that he
Speaker 1: throws like he's got, you know, and they've all got
Speaker 1: different names like the names.
Speaker 2: I like that. But Brandon Fat didn't name this, by
Speaker 2: the way, Apparently this this is a very common name,
Speaker 2: very smart baseball people like me and all the others.
Speaker 1: That I've never heard this before. And at Lance's.
Speaker 2: Video, it's it's really good.
Speaker 1: I'm sure. I'm sure it is. I'm sure. I can't
Speaker 1: believe it. The sock and shoe conversation is still going
Speaker 1: on in the chat.
Speaker 2: What do you guys do? It hasn't stopped.
Speaker 1: It's crazy discuss we couldn't even get I mean, I
Speaker 1: thought that whole hand of God joke was pretty good
Speaker 1: about can you throw it on a Sunday? Nothing.
Speaker 2: The biggest thing in the too, this is this is
Speaker 2: what's getting them too. I don't know if you've noticed
Speaker 2: this they're doing and I've seen this debate before. They're
Speaker 2: doing the whole order conversation shoes or sock sock shoe,
Speaker 2: shoe or sock shoe sock shoe. Like it's becoming a.
Speaker 1: Big shoes shit. That's that's what I do anyway, I do, but.
Speaker 2: I'm not married to it. It's sock sock shoes shoe.
Speaker 2: But it's not like this is the only way to.
Speaker 1: Then somebody was bringing up the milk or the cereal.
Speaker 1: First listen, you put the cereal. I learned this actually
Speaker 1: on I think it was on Food Network. I saw
Speaker 1: somebody do this, and I was like, that is genius.
Speaker 1: Why did I never think of it? You put your
Speaker 1: cereal in the bowl, and you know some cereals, especially,
Speaker 1: they get really soggy really quickly. You just pour the
Speaker 1: milk in one section, just one section, straight at You
Speaker 1: don't spread it all around the top, like around the top,
Speaker 1: because this is when you're the commercials and we're morons
Speaker 1: and we just spread it all around the top. You
Speaker 1: put it right in one section. What that does is
Speaker 1: it just creates like a layer underneath, and then you
Speaker 1: have all the crunchy cereal. So every time you go
Speaker 1: from the top to the bottom. You're always getting some
Speaker 1: crunchy and some non crunchy Cereal, and I it does, like,
Speaker 1: four years ago, change my life with cereal. It's the
Speaker 1: only way I'll do it. Now.
Speaker 2: This guy's offended by the hand of God's slider, but
Speaker 2: he's got a full analytical breakdown of how you eat
Speaker 2: cereal and how the approach is to get the proper crunch. Joe,
Speaker 2: this is incredible. I didn't know you were such a
Speaker 2: serial guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'm not a huge heerial guy, but I
Speaker 1: just thought that was really good.
Speaker 2: Goes suck. I gotta stop looking at stop looking at
Speaker 2: the chat. We book got stuff. Look at the chest.
Speaker 2: The shoe thing is getting us, it's getting it.
Speaker 1: I just thought this was an innocuous thing, but apparently
Speaker 1: it's not. All right. Let's talk about, uh the injuries. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: So perezent two home runs and then he got whacked
Speaker 1: on the thumb there. Uh. So he came out of
Speaker 1: that game with the swing around. I forgot who it
Speaker 1: was at the play, but came around with a swing
Speaker 1: boom nailed him right in the hand there. So hopefully
Speaker 1: he's okay. We'll see what happens today. Gorman. Karral was
Speaker 1: out again yesterday. They said for an MRI, I just
Speaker 1: be sure.
Speaker 2: But there is an update. There was an update. Local
Speaker 2: writer here covers Arizona Diamondbacks put in an article that
Speaker 2: he had the MRI. No major structural damage was seen.
Speaker 2: They didn't. They let it in a little koi because
Speaker 2: they're like, there was nothing major, but they didn't say
Speaker 2: there wasn't anything minor. But here are the positives. Lavello said,
Speaker 2: they're gonna kind of sit back and see how it goes,
Speaker 2: to see if he can play. They speculated Friday like
Speaker 2: I did, and he was in. He did some VP
Speaker 2: on Tuesday, which is a great sign. And if you
Speaker 2: watch the game last night, he was in the dugout
Speaker 2: cheering with all the guys hanging there. So I think
Speaker 2: the no major and the doing BP is a really
Speaker 2: good sign that we may see him back on Friday.
Speaker 2: Plus after that, they didn't go send him on the
Speaker 2: IL immediately. They're letting him see how it goes, so
Speaker 2: I think overall it's a pretty good sign.
Speaker 1: So Julio Rodriguez was out yesterday with the back issue too,
Speaker 1: so that's not great. I don't love the back issues.
Speaker 1: Marlins put Avaso Garcia on the ten day IL. He
Speaker 1: also had back tightness. Roman Marquez is gonna go Tommy
Speaker 1: John route, so we won't see him again until, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe All Star Break next year. We'll see and we'll
Speaker 1: see where he is too. Yankees also announced that Luke
Speaker 1: Trevino is going for Tommy John. Also Luis Garcia fifteen
Speaker 1: day IL. We're still waiting for more clarity on him.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we got in the last hour.
Speaker 1: So Liam Hendrix will beget a minor league rehab assigned
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. That's fantastic news for the White Sox. Bad
Speaker 1: news for Hendrick because you gotta go pitch for the
Speaker 1: White Sox because they're dreadful. Josel Tubay was taking grounders,
Speaker 1: so that's positive. That's stepping the right direction. He's like, hey,
Speaker 1: why is Bryce Harper back? And I'm not, you know, well,
Speaker 1: there you go. Maybe Heldel Toby to just tape up
Speaker 1: the broken wrist and then everything will be fine, right, we.
Speaker 2: Fine put some glue on it.
Speaker 1: So Jim Anderson back yesterday as well, so that is
Speaker 1: good news. Here's a fun tweet, Jay Kuda, who's a
Speaker 1: really fun follow on Twitter if you like nerdy analytic
Speaker 1: fun stuff like this guy's great. Uh since the last
Speaker 1: White Sox winning streak of two games or more, Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper will have had Tommy John surgery, done a full
Speaker 1: recovery and rehab, and returned to the lineup. So all
Speaker 1: that's happened last time. They want to get two more
Speaker 1: games there for the White Sox. That is pretty incredible.
Speaker 1: I think I also saw one where an Oakland a's
Speaker 1: starter hasn't had a win. Yeah, he got hurt and
Speaker 1: had rehab and came back from Tommy John.
Speaker 2: Amazing you and you want the anti analytical one, make
Speaker 2: sure you go check out in the video of Bryce
Speaker 2: Bryce blake Snell. Did you see the Blake Snell video
Speaker 2: of asking that he was miked up and he asked
Speaker 2: the crew. He went, man, was w RC plus? Was
Speaker 2: that w RC plus? And then the crew had no idea.
Speaker 2: He's like, I don't know, man, they just all this
Speaker 2: new stuff. I don't know what's a WRC plus. And
Speaker 2: that was a real good, uh good time for the
Speaker 2: stat nerds and analytics in baseball. That not only did
Speaker 2: the bitcher not know what it was, but the entire
Speaker 2: announcing crew. They're just like, yeah, I don't know, and
Speaker 2: everyone laughed about WRC plus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean when we keep making up stuff
Speaker 1: and we keep trying to put like, let's just a
Speaker 1: hand of gods, don't get me started. Giants also released
Speaker 1: Gary Sanchez or whatever that's worth the cash, gir three up,
Speaker 1: three down. He opted out. He opted out, so he's gone.
Speaker 1: But officially the stat was they officially released him because
Speaker 1: he opted out of the g Yeah, that's true, it's
Speaker 1: officially released. Just sorry, hand to god, all right? Uh?
Speaker 1: Three up, three down. Julio Urius a season high ten
Speaker 1: case for him, so that was good after he gopped
Speaker 1: that shall act by the Pirate. It's the last time
Speaker 1: we saw him. Ryan Mountcastle, Well, she's riding high.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I had because Mountcastle is one of the two guys
Speaker 1: I was thinking about. And then I had a bad
Speaker 1: feeling yesterday and you picked him. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I think Moncastle is gonna be that guy three for six,
Speaker 1: two homers, five ribbies. How you feeling what? You're in
Speaker 1: a tear right now?
Speaker 2: I'm up to six now I am. She just south
Speaker 2: of the board. No one would have thought it with
Speaker 2: how bad I've been, but I am only a couple
Speaker 2: more good days away from uh being I mean, there
Speaker 2: could be one day away from being up on the
Speaker 2: home run board. But Marian Mountcastle worked out there.
Speaker 1: You go, Connor Wong. What a night for Connor Wong,
Speaker 1: four for four with two homers and a double Tuesday,
Speaker 1: you'll win over the j So that's great. Three down though,
Speaker 1: you say Kakuchi, I say no, thank you. Five earned
Speaker 1: runs and four and a third, nine hits, ten or
Speaker 1: how six hittings, six runs, homer and three walks? And
Speaker 1: Brett Rooker? Oh four or four? K's I just wrote
Speaker 1: yesterday on the Rocker who should you trade? Or whatever? Uh?
Speaker 1: And and Rooker was top of my list? Like, sorry,
Speaker 1: it's just I mean he's been four different organizations. You're
Speaker 1: telling me four different organizations whift on Brent Rooker?
Speaker 2: No, Like I mean, he's a horn defender. He's got
Speaker 2: a big, great bat. I still think he can be
Speaker 2: a dude. He's hitting the ball really, really hard. He's
Speaker 2: just gonna be inconsistent. He's not as good of a
Speaker 2: batting average guy.
Speaker 1: Trade him off now in a package or something better.
Speaker 1: That's all you can do, all right, let's get to
Speaker 1: the prize picking. Welsh loves the prize pick. I love
Speaker 1: the prize picking. You love the prize pick right now

Speaker 1: word leading off Prize Picks Welsh, pick your prize.
Speaker 2: Already we're picking at some prizes today. I'm gonna have
Speaker 2: my usual weird one that I'm gonna throw in there
Speaker 2: that I just really like. Sometimes it works, sometimes they don't.
Speaker 2: And that weird one today is Louis Arland strikeouts four
Speaker 2: and a half. I like this number today, and it's
Speaker 2: four and a half everywhere, so I'm gonna attack it.
Speaker 2: Four and a half Louis Arland's strikeouts over I love,
Speaker 2: and it's probably it's gonna kill us here, but I
Speaker 2: love the Otani strikeout number. I know you've got this
Speaker 2: in yours as well, This number at six and a half.
Speaker 2: There's just no way I'm passing it up. But the
Speaker 2: books know what we don't, and I'm gonna go with one. Sodo.
Speaker 2: I know he hasn't the season been great, but as
Speaker 2: of recent he has been pretty good. I think back
Speaker 2: to back multi hitter at least extra base hit games
Speaker 2: in here, and he has a two for two career
Speaker 2: against Sessa, both home runs, so it might not be
Speaker 2: a bad home run call either. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: with his fantasy score over eight. So tany Kay's, Varlin
Speaker 2: Kays and Sodo score all overs well.
Speaker 1: From disappointing myself, I missed an opportunity here. Connor Wong
Speaker 1: went double dong, and I guess the question is if
Speaker 1: he was on the orioles, would it be the wogbong?
Speaker 2: Oh the wangdong bong?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she will ask ourselves, so would.
Speaker 2: It be the bang wong dong or the wang bong dong?
Speaker 2: Wasn't he?
Speaker 1: In sixteen times?
Speaker 2: Very carefully here, I.
Speaker 1: Prize pigs for me. Mike Trout hit her fantasy score
Speaker 1: over eighty six and a half picture strikeouts over Bryce Harper,
Speaker 1: eight Fantasy points under under no rehab Bryce Harper, Hero
Speaker 1: Superman under the fantasy points there. Uh so bettingpros dot
Speaker 1: Com obviously join our group at leading off. We're up
Speaker 1: to over eighty members already in one month, which is tremendous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's get to one hundred. What are we doing here,
Speaker 1: let's go Yesterday I predicted four of six of the
Speaker 1: k props, got four of six. There you go. One
Speaker 1: got rained out, so I ended up going to another one.
Speaker 2: Brown Hunter Brown was such a disappointment. I was all
Speaker 2: in on that one yesterday and that was a huge disappointment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, Danner, Bobby wasn't so four or six for me.
Speaker 1: Framber Valdez seven and a half k's I'm going the
Speaker 1: under today. Shane McClanahan six and a half k's going
Speaker 1: over today against Pittsburgh. The game that I'm targeting here,
Speaker 1: specifically Clark Schmidt for the Yankees starting tonight against the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians. Josh Nailer has got some interesting numbers here.
Speaker 1: Josh Nailer a point five runs again plus one thirty
Speaker 1: on that point five rbi A get plus one fifty.
Speaker 1: So if you've kind of go hard in the middle
Speaker 1: of this order here and Josi Ramirez at point five runs,
Speaker 1: I like that one at plus one ten one with
Speaker 1: those two guys there against Schmid in the little ballpark,
Speaker 1: I think that's a good one. Welsh, What do you
Speaker 1: have for people on the betting side today.
Speaker 2: All right, my team total today Yesterday was like the
Speaker 2: first day I didn't hit my team total in like
Speaker 2: a week or so. I'm gonna go Toronto and Minnesota
Speaker 2: i've been and Texas are three that I've been kind
Speaker 2: of targeting. I'm gonna go with Toronto today. Toronto team
Speaker 2: total runs two and a half over. I believe they're
Speaker 2: going up against Paveta, who has done this in three
Speaker 2: straight starts. He's given up three or more. And Toronto's offense,
Speaker 2: I believe, is averaging five runs over the last three
Speaker 2: games in each of those. So two and a half over,
Speaker 2: it's like minus one twenty five is the best number
Speaker 2: I saw. Louis Varland, you talked about those strikeouts four
Speaker 2: and a half k's over. I'm doing that. That's around
Speaker 2: minus one twenty Maybe shop around. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: shopping around you need to do today because the other one,
Speaker 2: Aaron Nola's strikeouts, I like today five and a half.
Speaker 2: I found it at minus one thirty two DK was
Speaker 2: I think it was like one forty something like that.
Speaker 2: So just shop around on all your lines and you
Speaker 2: can easily do that. How I did it with betting Pros.
Speaker 2: If you go on the prop cheat sheet, you go
Speaker 2: and look, you scan around, you find the guys. You

Speaker 1: the program, just kind of running through Aeronola eight point
Speaker 1: six under price today despite a tricky matchup, Mitch Keller,
Speaker 1: if you want to go Opo ten point three, coming
Speaker 1: off our best start of his career, arguably Shane Bieber
Speaker 1: nine point six. Again, I'm trolling the Yankees today in
Speaker 1: that lineup, but I trolled them yesterday, didn't get the
Speaker 1: result I want. I'm gonna give two days in a row.
Speaker 1: Let's go Alec Manoa eight point four. Cleveland Stack today,
Speaker 1: Seattle Stack today. They've got a good opportunity here. Hopefully
Speaker 1: Julio's back in the lineup. Fingers crossed Toronto also good.
Speaker 1: Tie Francis just two point eight. Loja Menez actually hit
Speaker 1: a home run yesterday. Stop the presses. He's two point eight.
Speaker 1: Josh neil Or, who I talked about earlier, two point six,
Speaker 1: and sticking with those Cleveland Guardians. I'm going with Jose
Speaker 1: Ramirez for my home run call tonight. Now, Welsh, you're
Speaker 1: not at the top of the board yet. No, you're
Speaker 1: at six. Is that where you are?
Speaker 2: I'm at six? Oh it moved up, okay because I
Speaker 2: saw in the sheet there was seven out. No, it's
Speaker 2: gonna take a little bit. I got six, little bit.
Speaker 2: We'll bet we're done. She's on the top ten. Now,
Speaker 2: very good job, everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at it. Look at these Look at monsters.
Speaker 1: Primetime at fifteen starting to pull away. Don't let Primetime
Speaker 1: pull away. Everybody'll behb daddy with twelve and then a
Speaker 1: bunch of folks at eleven and ten. So good on
Speaker 1: those folks. I want to see some new names up there, Welsh,
Speaker 1: maybe even your name. So who are you calling for
Speaker 1: your home run tonight? Oh?
Speaker 2: I'm I'm torn between two players. I got two of
Speaker 2: my mind. But you know what, let's go back to it.
Speaker 2: I mentioned it earlier. He's got a great career record
Speaker 2: versus Sessa, has not given up a ton of homers.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go with one Soto. One Soto with
Speaker 2: the struggles, but he has been feeling it as of late.
Speaker 2: This is a BVP matchup. Let's hope for two. Let's
Speaker 2: hope for two dongs, two sodo dongs today, Joe, and
Speaker 2: get closer to that board.
Speaker 1: Yeah hopefully, yeah, hopefully they're better than this looking Soda here.
Speaker 2: That's the scariest thing.
Speaker 1: That face that Juan Soda was actually making, I think
Speaker 1: is the face when they showed him this, uh, this
Speaker 1: statue of him.
Speaker 2: How much do you think that thing would auction for? Like,
Speaker 2: I think that should go into a museum. I think
Speaker 2: I think you should go into a museum.
Speaker 1: What's wrong with the face too, It's so bizarre. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell they're doing right here. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's like, what's that movie with Will Ferrell? The cartoon
Speaker 2: character is blue with a big head.
Speaker 1: He's oh, oh goodness, come on, Pisa, Cracker Jacks.
Speaker 2: What's the movie?
Speaker 1: Like my mega mind.
Speaker 2: Something, Mega mine? Put the picture back up. I wish
Speaker 2: we could put mega mine next up to look at
Speaker 2: the put the pictures that is, that is, if he
Speaker 2: was blue, that would be mega mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it looks like the big giant, you know,
Speaker 1: like the big hats you know. I guess it's almost like, ah,
Speaker 1: it's very off. It's very off putting. Very unsettling.
Speaker 2: I don't I would give anything to have been there
Speaker 2: for the guy when he was like yeah and done.
Speaker 1: By the way, I see Wonky in the chat. Where's
Speaker 1: the Mayor Bear? Where's Mike mayer Bin? These last few days,
Speaker 1: I know we got to play a game is where's
Speaker 1: Mayor Bear? Is he okay? We got to check in.
Speaker 1: I saw him in the meeting yesterday, so we're going
Speaker 1: in Mayor Bear. Now. I don't know if you got
Speaker 1: maryon barrel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mil didn't get that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he even had to change his avatar. Now it's
Speaker 1: a bear with a little thing of Mayo in its belly.

Speaker 1: beginning to the show and unsettling ending. That's why you're
