Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought you by Prize Pick. Sign up today
Speaker 1: with prize picks and the code leading off when you do,
Speaker 1: I'm Joey p joe Pizipia. That of course is the Welsh.
Speaker 1: The hair incredibly high today. I see you're rocking your
Speaker 1: forty nine ers jersey because today is the NFL Draft.
Speaker 1: So this is an MLB show. But don't forget Tonight
Speaker 1: on our regular old Fantasy Pros channel, I will be
Speaker 1: hosting live from seven to whenever I can stop talking
Speaker 1: about the NFL Draft, which is probably never, but at
Speaker 1: some point they'll shut it down. We want you to
Speaker 1: join us watch the draft. Put us on another screen,
Speaker 1: put us on your phone. We're gonna break down all
Speaker 1: the picks for you from fantasy. We're gonna break down
Speaker 1: all the picks from wagering, all that good stuff. So
Speaker 1: please join us tonight seven pm Eastern. Our coverage is
Speaker 1: gonna begin before the NFL Draft. A Welsh, I know
Speaker 1: it's it's a baseball show, but yeah, obviously you're excited
Speaker 1: for the draft. I know you have no picks tonight, Well.
Speaker 2: I mean, like you know a misnomer about me would
Speaker 2: be that I'm only baseball. I've only been doing football
Speaker 2: coverage as well since I started in the fantasy industry.
Speaker 2: I'm just much more prominent in baseball and stuff. But
Speaker 2: I love me some football, love me some forty nine
Speaker 2: ers who will not be partaking today. I have a
Speaker 2: trivia question for you.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, let's go.
Speaker 2: What first round NFL player his brother made his major
Speaker 2: league debut this year.
Speaker 1: Oh that's interesting. A major league player who made his
Speaker 1: debut whose brother plays in the NFL. Can you give
Speaker 1: me a team or no? No hints for me, l
Speaker 1: in L.
Speaker 2: So this player will be drafted in the first round tonight.
Speaker 2: His brother made his major league debut only like a
Speaker 2: week or so ago.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I somehow missed this, but this is fantastic.
Speaker 2: Who is it? It is Jackson in Jigba, Canon and
Speaker 2: Jigma because Canon Smith and Jigba is his brother. So
Speaker 2: there you go. The brothers actually saw his brother during
Speaker 2: an AFL game a couple of years ago. But yes,
Speaker 2: Canaan Smith and Jigba with the Pirates made his debut.
Speaker 2: His brother will be potentially the first overall or first
Speaker 2: wide receiver taken.
Speaker 1: Potentially maybe potentially more on my thoughts on that on
Speaker 1: the other show. This is baseball time, so let's get
Speaker 1: after it, and we're gonna start with Welsh getting a
Speaker 1: home run call.
Speaker 2: Yay.
Speaker 1: For a while, she look at you. I told you,
Speaker 1: you know, we had to go back to Fernando tatis. Well.
Speaker 1: By the way, I saw a clip of Fernando Tatiss
Speaker 1: playing in the minor leagues where people were chanting that
Speaker 1: you did steroids and he was dancing to the chant.
Speaker 1: Did you see this yet? I saw it on the Instagram.
Speaker 2: That was in Chicago.
Speaker 1: It was in Chicago. I throw it. Those Cubs fans,
Speaker 1: those Cubs fans hilarious. I loved it. I mean, good,
Speaker 1: good for you, Good for you, Fernando, and I'm glad
Speaker 1: that Welsh you got another home run call. That's great.
Speaker 1: Bad news though we hate I hate starting the show
Speaker 1: with bad news, but this is bad news. It's bad
Speaker 1: news for my Seattle Mariner shares. It's bad news for
Speaker 1: fantasy people who are managers, who have Robbie right, who's
Speaker 1: gonna undergo season ending left flexer tender tendon not tender.
Speaker 1: I want chicken after the show. That's why said that,
Speaker 1: but tend and surgery Welsh. Look, this is a big
Speaker 1: blow Robbie Ray. For whatever you think of Robbie Ray,
Speaker 1: I know he was polarizing. Some fantasy experts really like him,
Speaker 1: others do not. He was an incredible source of strikeouts
Speaker 1: for the last what like six seven years. So this
Speaker 1: is a big blow to this rotation. Where do fantasy
Speaker 1: managers go from here? And where do the Seattle Mariners
Speaker 1: go from here? Too? Because they can't keep road and
Speaker 1: flexing out there. They need to go find somebody else
Speaker 1: in this rotation.
Speaker 2: Well, I think fantasy owners have well hopefully you have
Speaker 2: a lot of good options. I mean, Tanner Biby was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about him. You've got Todge Bradley, You've got
Speaker 2: some of the Gottlin TODs Bradley situations. A little mud
Speaker 2: a little bit muddier than it was even yesterday, by
Speaker 2: the way, because we kind of found out his situation.
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of good rookie starting pitchers that
Speaker 2: have kind of been floating around. So that's where I
Speaker 2: would say, like, if Tanner Bibby is out there, that's
Speaker 2: the guy that would be the one. But you know,
Speaker 2: probably too late. As far as what the team does.
Speaker 2: They've got a whole crew, they literally have. It could
Speaker 2: be a future staff at Double A right now. The
Speaker 2: problem they all kind of stink. Emerson Hancock, Bryce Miller,
Speaker 2: Taylor Dollard, Brian wu is someone who has been pushing
Speaker 2: up a little bit played in the AFL. That's a guy.
Speaker 2: So my thought is at some point they're gonna look
Speaker 2: at trading. I just don't think it's gonna be anytime soon.
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna put flexing out there until they
Speaker 2: can't like some teams, and then hopefully one of those
Speaker 2: guys will have popped up. If not, maybe the market
Speaker 2: will have opened up, and then I could totally see
Speaker 2: the Mariners making a big splash. I just don't think
Speaker 2: they would go and get some like middle line pitcher
Speaker 2: like that's flexing like. I don't know why they would go.
Speaker 2: They need, they would want to.
Speaker 1: They're going to go for somebody else. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of who might fit that bill of a team
Speaker 1: that's going to be out relatively soon, because I think
Speaker 1: you want to do this sooner than later.
Speaker 2: If you're there, I've been theorizing, like you know you
Speaker 2: could look at like the Reds Graham ash Craft or
Speaker 2: I just don't think like Lodolo would be available. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean you have to go start going down the
Speaker 2: list of White Sox have been getting out of it.
Speaker 2: How you know, how far is too far for that
Speaker 2: the Cardinals are going to get back into its Washington.
Speaker 1: Cardinals are not going to be the place The White
Speaker 1: Sox is an interesting one. I mean maybe at some
Speaker 1: point you just break up the band here with the
Speaker 1: way that's been going for them. Uh, that's that's certainly
Speaker 1: one that could be. I'm trying to think it's some mother.
Speaker 1: It might be some guys too, you know where you
Speaker 1: see some teams that look some of these lower market teams.
Speaker 1: Obviously it behoves them not to move these guys. As
Speaker 1: soon as they move them, the more they get prospect
Speaker 1: wi back.
Speaker 2: But see, like that's the problem with this whole situation
Speaker 2: when you start to if you start to play this,
Speaker 2: if like you're a Mariners fan, there's just nothing to
Speaker 2: do right now because everyone and is kind of in it.
Speaker 2: The bad teams are playing up a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: You know, here's one that just top hopped in my
Speaker 2: head at whar Dorodrigez with the Tigers. Seems like that's
Speaker 2: every one of the most coveted guys you could probably.
Speaker 1: That would be the absolute perfect guy you nailed at, Welsh,
Speaker 1: It's definitely Rodriguez. What's the Taj Bradley extracurricular stuff? Okay,
Speaker 1: so I might have missed this.
Speaker 2: What do you know? What is this?
Speaker 1: MLB insider Chris Welsh know that. I don't.
Speaker 2: No, it's just like doing a little bit more research.
Speaker 2: So maybe everybody knew this, and I'll totally acknowledge I
Speaker 2: just might be the dummy here. So when they said like, hey,
Speaker 2: Taj has got to, you know, get on the five
Speaker 2: day schedule, It's just like, what does it mean? Like
Speaker 2: what are you talk to? I thought I didn't understand that. Well,
Speaker 2: it made sense they sent him down. He's going to
Speaker 2: start multiple games on a five day schedule. Like they're
Speaker 2: going to send him down. He will not be back
Speaker 2: up for what is presumably probably two weeks because they
Speaker 2: want him to make multiple starts on the five day
Speaker 2: schedule in the minors, which is asinine. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't they know what that ain't happen. I'm calling
Speaker 1: it right now. That's what they said, that what the
Speaker 1: organization wants, but you know, they lose a couple of games.
Speaker 1: Next thing you know, the manager turns around says, no,
Speaker 1: we got to get this kid back up here. I'm
Speaker 1: not buying that for a second. I'm sure that's what
Speaker 1: the organization is thinking, but I don't know if they're
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and execute that because.
Speaker 2: It never comprehended to me. I couldn't understand like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you got to get on a five day schedule, we'll
Speaker 2: just do that. It'll go and just have him do it.
Speaker 2: But they're like, literally, they want to see how he
Speaker 2: is and they want to see how he pitches. And
Speaker 2: this also might align to the other really horrific news
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about as far as pics go,
Speaker 2: where there might be tiny little days of manipulation that
Speaker 2: are still going on. Because I know we're going to
Speaker 2: talk about Jordan Walker.
Speaker 1: Here, that's business thing. Then I get it, like if
Speaker 1: there's some sort of manipulation with the business, and then
Speaker 1: I understand how that goes. Speaking of manipulation, yesterday, I
Speaker 1: hope you listened to the parlay of the day because
Speaker 1: we nailed it here. Hunter Brown recorded eight strikeouts, career
Speaker 1: high seven, shutout anythings. He was great. Beat the race,
Speaker 1: we got the w we got the strikeout over ooh
Speaker 1: week good times. So that made some cash. Yesterday Tanner
Speaker 1: Biby pitched five and two Thursday innings, one run, ball,
Speaker 1: struck out eight. It is win. I saw highlights, but
Speaker 1: you actually watched a little bit more of this. So
Speaker 1: take me through the Bibby star.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was fhhenomenal. It was so crazy too. I'm
Speaker 2: completely enamored. There was this thing last night. I you
Speaker 2: saw it. Zach Gallon through this pitch to Vinnie Pascuentino
Speaker 2: and he's like, it's the craziest pitch I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Was it a change up? Was it a cutter? Everyone's
Speaker 2: kind of talking about it. Pitching Ninja put it out there.
Speaker 2: It's just wild pitch. Yeah, well couldbar slutter. It might be,
Speaker 2: as a matter of.
Speaker 1: Fact, Look I mean not everything could be a slutter,
Speaker 1: but you know, I mean.
Speaker 2: Well it looked. It was so nasty. Everybody in it,
Speaker 2: like that Vinny swung it hit the ump, the catcher
Speaker 2: couldn't catch. It was this awesome gift. My point is
Speaker 2: is like that pitch had me namored watching Tanner Biby
Speaker 2: in this slider that he threw. I don't remember seeing
Speaker 2: it like this. It was like a twelve six slider
Speaker 2: that it looked curvy at times, sometimes it broke. He
Speaker 2: threw it more than his four seen fastball, which was crazy.
Speaker 2: He had forty four percent slider usage. He had a
Speaker 2: thirty nine percent swinging or whiff rate on it, and
Speaker 2: he overall had a thirty three percent csw Also, guys
Speaker 2: were just staring at it. Thirteen called strikes on the
Speaker 2: slider to just pin pointing it across his zone. Really
Speaker 2: great command pitcher. That slider is going to give people fits.
Speaker 2: He's going to have to implement his change up more.
Speaker 2: But you know, like if he was sitting out there
Speaker 2: and you got burned in some pitching aspect, he's such
Speaker 2: a great pickup right now. And they are talking out
Speaker 2: of both sides of their mouth where they said, like,
Speaker 2: h we're gonna keep them around a couple of days,
Speaker 2: see what happens. And then the other side is he's
Speaker 2: going to stay in the rotation. I think it's decently
Speaker 2: likely he stays in the rotation, But you know, what
Speaker 2: the hell do we know? With how everyone's managing their
Speaker 2: prospects right now.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about it. What do you think when
Speaker 1: you look at the Guardian's rotation right now? Where do
Speaker 1: you think who gets bumped from that rotation?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think the only assurances are you
Speaker 2: got Beaver, Savally will take it when he comes back,
Speaker 2: and then McKenzie's going to come back in a month.
Speaker 2: So I think you have realistically two open spots, and
Speaker 2: I think that should go to Bibby and Logan Allen
Speaker 2: because you get another one, I get Lefty in the lineup.
Speaker 2: So I think that's the play. It's always a possibility
Speaker 2: they do something stupid because they of all these teams plenty.
Speaker 2: Do you know they could put police Sack back in
Speaker 2: the rotation or whatever. I think that's the play. But
Speaker 2: they've got some time with Savally and McKinzie back, and
Speaker 2: like Biby is the player I think that can hold
Speaker 2: the longest. I just think he is a complimented command
Speaker 2: with an insanely good breaking pitch that keeps hitters off balance.
Speaker 2: And it's like I was saying this lest on a CVS.
Speaker 2: I want to see the Taj Bradley curveball and the
Speaker 2: Biby Slider. I just want to see gifts of them
Speaker 2: back to back because those are two just the nastiest
Speaker 2: rookie pitches I've seen all year.
Speaker 1: You know, it got me thinking, I'm still you still
Speaker 1: nail that Eduard over Rodriguez. Things so well that if
Speaker 1: I was somebody being proactive looking for pitching, go make
Speaker 1: a trade for this guy now before those rumors starts swirling.
Speaker 1: I could not agree more. That's the perfect dude. Rodriguez
Speaker 1: is the perfect guy to go. Move on to Seattle.
Speaker 1: And if you haven't fantasy an d it's up on
Speaker 1: a better team in Detroit. It's just a much better scenario,
Speaker 1: much better run support across the board. That's definitely the
Speaker 1: way to go there. All right, let's continue on with
Speaker 1: more depressing news here. Jordan Walker was sent down yesterday
Speaker 1: Welsh surprising, I don't know, but frustrating. Nonetheless, your thoughts on.
Speaker 2: This, Yeah, it doesn't make sense, it's stupid. It's when's
Speaker 2: the last time you saw like a guy hitting two
Speaker 2: seventy four who made the opening roster, as you know,
Speaker 2: the big face. He's a big face of this team,
Speaker 2: big young guy, Rookie of the Year. Candidate and they
Speaker 2: sent him down. It's old baseball bull crap, with Marmal
Speaker 2: being like, well, I just can't find a spot for
Speaker 2: him anymore because a few really because of Nolan Gorman.
Speaker 2: Here are the two big things that came out of this,
Speaker 2: he said in an interview. Nolan Gorman's the reason for
Speaker 2: this because they can't put him at DH because Gorman.
Speaker 2: Nolan Gorman has been playing so well. That's crazy because
Speaker 2: you had him come up at the very beginning of
Speaker 2: the year. The other side of this we found out
Speaker 2: I was reading an article on the Athletic is that
Speaker 2: they can still manipulate some service time. If he is
Speaker 2: down in the minors for twenty days, he will not
Speaker 2: be able to accrue a full season, which gives them
Speaker 2: another year of eligibility, as long as he also doesn't
Speaker 2: finish in the top two rookie of the year. So
Speaker 2: if they keep him down for twenty.
Speaker 1: One days, yeah, do the job, and it probably is
Speaker 1: out rookie behind Gorman Carrol.
Speaker 2: So yeah, well, and James Autman and Carol are both
Speaker 2: two to one, and the next closest is saying at
Speaker 2: ten to one. So if it's twenty to twenty one
Speaker 2: days and he doesn't finish in the top two, they
Speaker 2: own another year of service on him. He could come
Speaker 2: back up and it can get Super two and stuff
Speaker 2: like that if he comes back in about two weeks.
Speaker 2: But that seems like the play, like, how do you
Speaker 2: send a two seventy four guy down? His defense kind
Speaker 2: of stunk, Sure, but I think it's crazy for his defense.
Speaker 1: Come on, everybody there. He's there to hit baseballs. And
Speaker 1: I'm tired of these slap nut outfielders for the Cardinals
Speaker 1: clogging up space for good hitters like Jordan Walker. I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm over it.
Speaker 2: You're wrestling promo, Yeah, I am feeling.
Speaker 1: Let's get to some of the penis and the Cracker Jackson.
Speaker 1: The chat Echo Beast was offered Aeronauto for Alec Manoa
Speaker 1: in redraft head to head category league. Except if you
Speaker 1: got enough pitching to do this move, you do it.
Speaker 1: Aeronado is the better asset in my opinion. But here's
Speaker 1: the only thing. It is a head to head league,
Speaker 1: So if your pitching is thin as tempting as this is,
Speaker 1: I would say no, it's really a roster question at
Speaker 1: the end of the day.
Speaker 2: Welsh, your thoughts, Yeah, I'm and I could do it.
Speaker 2: I'm not not huge on Manila right now, so I
Speaker 2: think this is something I could swing. But like what
Speaker 2: your roster looks like is probably my best answer. You know,
Speaker 2: if you had horrific third and horrific corner and stuff
Speaker 2: and you're grade at outfield, sure I jump on it.
Speaker 2: If it's inverse, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Here's one for Alfredo Rodriguez. Zach Gallen given Strider a
Speaker 1: run for a cy young money he is and who
Speaker 1: was our dark horse cy young candidate? Trying to remember what?
Speaker 1: Oh right, it was Zach Gallon.
Speaker 2: That's who it was yours, you know, credit to you,
Speaker 2: that was yours.
Speaker 1: I say, we it's the Royal we it's out of
Speaker 1: it's our show. You know, it's it's us, the Royal Weeks.
Speaker 1: So when you hit a home run, call right, then
Speaker 1: it's all you.
Speaker 2: And then I come in late at night and I
Speaker 2: put at the very.
Speaker 1: Top you do run is good boy? Oh boy? Everybody
Speaker 1: knows two in the morning in the show sheet. Otherwise
Speaker 1: he shows up with what ten to noon, starting to
Speaker 1: look in there and see what's going on there. Let's
Speaker 1: get to some of the injuries. And there was a
Speaker 1: lot of them. So Ken Tamayana gave up ten runs well,
Speaker 1: and then he exited. He's gonna gonna go the MRI
Speaker 1: with the Yankees. The l knows. Excuse me, but the
Speaker 1: almost terrible against the Yankees yesterday just a horrendous start
Speaker 1: for him. Exited with an injury. Again, he has not
Speaker 1: been healthy. We know that the Yankees Aaron Judge had
Speaker 1: a problem sliding. He heard his hand, he told reports afterward.
Speaker 1: He's all good. X rays. Also for our boy Josh Young,
Speaker 1: who's been terrific for the Rangers, they came back negative,
Speaker 1: so that's good. He had got hit by a pitch
Speaker 1: and then Javier Baiez got hit in the hand with
Speaker 1: a pitch, but it probably helped raise his batting average.
Speaker 1: All right, here's something to piss me off. Welsh pissed
Speaker 1: me off the Atlanta Braves home run celebration with the
Speaker 1: big hat. Everybody knows I love the big hat about
Speaker 1: debro a big hat last year during football season because
Speaker 1: I thought it was the greatest thing ever. And if
Speaker 1: anybody could pull off the big hat, it was Derek Brown.
Speaker 1: MLB is saying, no, you can't wear the big hat,
Speaker 1: and I mean, why, what's the big deal. The guys
Speaker 1: come in the dugout. You can wear a samurai helmet,
Speaker 1: but you can't wear the big hat.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know, yeah, it was a new era thing.
Speaker 2: It wasn't the Braves decision. New era said we want
Speaker 2: you to stop doing this, which is.
Speaker 1: Crazy era, New era. You could suck it. This is fun, Okay,
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's good for baseball. The big hat's hilarious.
Speaker 1: Or you know what, go make your own big hat.
Speaker 1: They probably can't because they probably have the intellectual property
Speaker 1: to do it. But it pissed me right off. Just
Speaker 1: piss me right off. Here's something amazing though. Ronald Aconia
Speaker 1: recorded his MLB leading thirteen stone based Tuesday, the one
Speaker 1: hundred and twentieth stone base of his career and his
Speaker 1: five hundred and thirty eighth game A Coonie also was
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty three homers and is thus the
Speaker 1: fastest player in Major League history to reach one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty homers and steals. Previously fastest was Eric Davis
Speaker 1: in five hundred and fifty nine games. Eric Davis was
Speaker 1: a great player. I met Eric Davis once when I
Speaker 1: was in college in a hotel. They were playing the
Speaker 1: Phillies and he was playing with the Orioles at the time,
Speaker 1: and he was a heck of a nice guy. It's
Speaker 1: funny like he actually initiated a conversation with me. I
Speaker 1: was just some dude in the elevator was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god's Eric Davis.
Speaker 2: Dude say that Cleric Davis works with the Reds out here.
Speaker 2: I see him all the time on the Nicest Guy.
Speaker 2: One of the first moments I ever saw him was
Speaker 2: during the AFL and we were there was a bunch
Speaker 2: of us and Paul Sporr was there and we're like, hey,
Speaker 2: look there's Eric Davis. And spor went over there to
Speaker 2: try to get him an agreement to be an MLB
Speaker 2: the show, to be one of the character cards in him.
Speaker 2: He's like, you should do this. Eric Davis is a
Speaker 2: very nice guy, very talkative, and he roams around in
Speaker 2: a golf cart wherever he goes. I've seen him on
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and the Reds on the backfields.
Speaker 1: He's an interesting He was a great player. I mean,
Speaker 1: people forget him and Darryl Strawberry played on the same
Speaker 1: high school team together. Did you imagine trying to play
Speaker 1: that high school. Yeah, those two guys came up together
Speaker 1: in south central Los Angeles. They they pushed.
Speaker 2: The famous person to come out of your high school.
Speaker 1: Uh, that's a good question, probably me, I think at
Speaker 1: the end of the day.
Speaker 2: Oh a little joke. Okay, what can I say now?
Speaker 1: It just is Arthur Sakowski who played quarterback at Illinois. Okay,
Speaker 1: but you know that didn't go very well. He played
Speaker 1: a lot of other places schools too. He was the
Speaker 1: guy in that famous ten overtimes a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago where nobody could score them in Penn State game
Speaker 1: and then eventually he got hurt in like the ninth
Speaker 1: overtime or whatever.
Speaker 2: This is going to be this, this question is going
Speaker 2: to break laught too, by the way, because we all
Speaker 2: have this type of stuff, because I mean.
Speaker 1: I said facetiously me, but I mean I don't know now.
Speaker 2: Now it might be I have two Mark Andrews tight
Speaker 2: end with the Ravens. Or there's a guy. This is
Speaker 2: a famous i TL thing. It's this. It's his actor
Speaker 2: named Brent Bailey. You've never heard of him, but you've
Speaker 2: seen him in every single commercial that exists, and he
Speaker 2: is the spokesman for the shell Gas. He's the face
Speaker 2: on there and we have a long going bit me
Speaker 2: and Bobby.
Speaker 1: But if I don't know his name, how famous is he?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 1: Look?
Speaker 2: He was my actual class Mark Andrews was not.
Speaker 1: But I was just curious.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you guys, put in the chat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, put it in the chat. I want to see this.
Speaker 1: Who's the most famous person you went to high school with?
Speaker 1: I like this, and this is why you join us
Speaker 1: live for the show at MLB Fantasy. Yeah. One last
Speaker 1: note on Eric Davis. I was always hoping that Byron
Speaker 1: Boxon would turn into Eric Davis and it never happened.
Speaker 1: Like that was my comp for him, Like, if everything
Speaker 1: breaks right, he could be that guy. Eric Davis was
Speaker 1: such a good player. People don't realize, all right, Joe's
Speaker 1: tough guy segment. Drew Magic yesterday made his debut for
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates. He struck out, but he's getting a
Speaker 1: start today. Welsh very cool, very cool. So he uh again,
Speaker 1: this is just a fun story. I don't even know
Speaker 1: why why we're all following this. I don't know we're
Speaker 1: big SAPs. But good for you, Drew, go out. Hope
Speaker 1: he gets a hit today.
Speaker 2: I thought it was so cool that like everyone acknowledged it,
Speaker 2: because I feel like just things sometimes in baseball can
Speaker 2: just kind of float by and whatever. But like he
Speaker 2: got a standing ovation and like the teams and the
Speaker 2: crowd and everyone. I just thought that was cool. It's like,
Speaker 2: this is just like a thirty three year old dude
Speaker 2: who never made it and is there and he's getting
Speaker 2: like this cheering of his life. That was Actually, it's
Speaker 2: nice to see something like nice happen, especially in sports
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Brian Foutz went to high school with world Zario Dawson,
Speaker 1: So there you go, that's a famous person. Tom Harry Carrey.
Speaker 2: I don't know about that from history because there's a difference,
Speaker 2: like the Brent Bailey one we went to the same time.
Speaker 2: But then there's also who's the most famous person who
Speaker 2: come out of your high school?
Speaker 1: See Freddy Couples or even out of your high school. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd have to go back and look.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's somebody else. You know. It's funny too
Speaker 1: because my high school's merged in my town in Old
Speaker 1: virgin New Jersey. Uh, I believe one of the high schools.
Speaker 1: Remember Sonny from w w she went, I bet you do.
Speaker 1: I bet you.
Speaker 2: Doesn't have a famous story with new Jack. Isn't that
Speaker 2: new Jack story?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know because I know every wrestling story,
Speaker 1: and I have not heard that one girl in my
Speaker 1: high school briefly slept with Billy Bob Thornton for a while.
Speaker 1: I don't think that counts wonky. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's a funny one here. And like Mark Say and
Speaker 1: Chris Mullen, there you go.
Speaker 2: I saw a couple of Chris Moller. I saw a
Speaker 2: couple of Chris Mullen.
Speaker 1: Everybody went to school. Chris Mallen. He went to fact
Speaker 1: and schools. All right, let's get to the three up,
Speaker 1: three down. Zach Gallon twelve strikeouts, incredible, put money on.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what his numbers. Well, she might
Speaker 1: want to check it. What's a cy young number? Today?
Speaker 1: Because I made two investments, I might have to make
Speaker 1: another one. Paul Goldschmitt went four for five with two
Speaker 1: home runs. Of course, the day after I picked table Gallen,
Speaker 1: so WA had to go gold Schmid. Yeah. Jerk Mackenzie
Speaker 1: gore ten strikeouts, so man, the Mets getting pounded by
Speaker 1: the Nats two days in a row. I didn't think
Speaker 1: would have it two days in a row. But I imagine
Speaker 1: the Mets come out on top today. Three down. Michael
Speaker 1: Kopek boo seven era now four earned in five innings.
Speaker 2: My team total Toronto team total through the first five
Speaker 2: smacked yesterday because we picked on Copec pick on Copeck
Speaker 2: when you can.
Speaker 1: Man, he's he has not become the guy that they
Speaker 1: hoped he would Ken Tomata where he talked about ten
Speaker 1: earned runs. We hope he's okay health wise because that
Speaker 1: was a bad outing. Something's wrong. So it looks like
Speaker 1: the Twins are gonna be down a starter Medina for
Speaker 1: the A's seven earned two homers. He's got a twelve
Speaker 1: vra like all other Yankee prospects, overrated for the most part.
Speaker 1: There you go, I said it most of the time.
Speaker 1: You know it's not overrated. Price picks that's right, up
Speaker 1: to one hundred percent deposit match up to one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: What do you invest in Price picks? Go to pricepicks
Speaker 1: dot com or just download the app and use that
Speaker 1: promo code leading off. When you do so, you get
Speaker 1: the instant deposit match. It's all about the inctand deposit
Speaker 1: match Welsh, what do you have for the people today?
Speaker 1: Pick some prizes?
Speaker 2: All right, dude. By the way, yesterday I was half
Speaker 2: of a point away from Adley from smacking that because
Speaker 2: my no run first inning hit my Bobaschett. Obviously, Bobachett
Speaker 2: was very great yesterday and Adley two walks in a
Speaker 2: run and it killed. So today they're actually giving a
Speaker 2: couple of little discounts if you go and check out
Speaker 2: at Price Picks. They got their fun little I think
Speaker 2: it's like a Taco Tuesday thing, but I think it's
Speaker 2: in light of the NFL draft and they're knocking down
Speaker 2: multiple k's. So if you want Sho heeo Tani, you
Speaker 2: can get him for one strikeout less. I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: the Garrett Cole for one strikeout less, so instead of
Speaker 2: seven and a half, I can get him at six
Speaker 2: and a half against the Rangers. So yes, please, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with that. I am all on Mike Trout today,
Speaker 2: So this is gonna lead into everything We're gonna you know,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do Mike Trout total bases one and a half.
Speaker 2: He has been killing lefties. You've got spears today, so
Speaker 2: I am all on Mike Trout and Zanda Bogart's hits,
Speaker 2: runs and RBI one and a half against Hayden wiz Nesky. Today,
Speaker 2: those are my three. I'm playing twenty two one hundred,
Speaker 2: going to cash a prize picks today, I feel it.
Speaker 1: Here's a famous person from Oberge High School. Phil Ivy
Speaker 1: went there for a year. Apparently that's huge.
Speaker 2: I love Phil Ivy, one of the best poker players
Speaker 2: of all time.
Speaker 1: The best poker players. I still say I'm more famous.
Speaker 1: I'm on TV every single week the last four years,
Speaker 1: just saying on Amazon Brime. This face is on Amazon
Speaker 1: Prime every single week.
Speaker 2: Now, I mean, say, hey, Mayor, let's run a poll
Speaker 2: famous famous Ivy. Yeah, you might not know phil Ivey.
Speaker 2: So Joe actually might win that much.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think, oh, I'm definitely gonna
Speaker 1: win on this pole here. But I mean, I think
Speaker 1: poker's kind of niche a little bit. Football is far
Speaker 1: less niche. I have a best selling book series.
Speaker 2: I don't know I'm at poker, but like Daniel Nigran, you,
Speaker 2: phil helm Youth, phil Ivey, you know.
Speaker 1: That maybe the first sure guy I know them because
Speaker 1: I like poker. I'm just saying I don't.
Speaker 2: Think they kind of transcend a little bit, like maybe
Speaker 2: phil Ivey doesn't Negron you and hell Youth do.
Speaker 1: But I don't think anyone knows who those people are
Speaker 1: for the most part.
Speaker 2: Oh you guys know who Daniel, I don't.
Speaker 1: Unless you were into that poker phase of the mid
Speaker 1: and the late nineties, I don't think you have any idea.
Speaker 1: Julio Yurius, I'm going with the over five and a
Speaker 1: half picture strikeouts on prize picks O Tani eight and
Speaker 1: a half picture strikeouts, I'm going the under. I know
Speaker 1: it's the a's. I know everybody's just like going crazy today,
Speaker 1: and I know he dominates the a's, but I think
Speaker 1: eight and a half is just a big number. I
Speaker 1: expect him to get seven or eight, but over eight. Again,
Speaker 1: you look at the game blog so far, I just
Speaker 1: don't know. Ryan Mountcastle uh hit her points for Fantasy seven.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the over on that.
Speaker 2: I love that one.
Speaker 1: Dot Com slash leading off again. Nailed the parlay yesterday.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna nail it again today. Okay, here you go, ready,
Speaker 1: get your pens and papers, your note pads, whatever, the hell.
Speaker 1: You got Dodgers money line, Angel's money line, and Mets
Speaker 1: like Met's aren't gonna get swept by the Nats. Okay,
Speaker 1: put those three things together, you get plus one ninety six.
Speaker 1: Those are easy gimmes. All three of these heavy favorites
Speaker 1: should win today in these matchups. Also again, I'm going
Speaker 1: the under on the eight and a half strikeouts. Even
Speaker 1: betting pros is given that to me too, And you
Speaker 1: get even money on this one. Urious you're getting even
Speaker 1: money on the over on his strikeouts at five and
Speaker 1: a half, and Tyler Molly over five and a half,
Speaker 1: you're getting minus one twenty. But I love that one.
Speaker 1: Welsh betting wise, what do you have on your board today?
Speaker 1: All right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And I had a couple I mentioned on the pod
Speaker 2: yesterday that hit that weren't on the betting pros tracked stuff.
Speaker 2: I am. I'm setting myself up here horrific at total bases,
Speaker 2: but I'm just gonna keep going at one because I
Speaker 2: do not like the strikeout numbers today. They're all juiced
Speaker 2: to hell, and they're all really good, and I'm just
Speaker 2: not gonna do any of it. I'm not gonna even
Speaker 2: parlay a couple, so I'm gonna go back to total
Speaker 2: bases Mike Trout. Total bases up against Sears is plus money,
Speaker 2: so plus one oh five, just a little bit over.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take that. I love the Angels team total
Speaker 2: runs through the first five innings to score two and
Speaker 2: a half. That is minus one twenty five. I am
Speaker 2: putting money down on that one. And then this is
Speaker 2: a big payout number. It's risky, but he has been
Speaker 2: dominant and I'm just gonna go down this because I
Speaker 2: do believe in him. Matt Strom has been a strikeout monster.
Speaker 2: He's at six and a half pays plus one fifty
Speaker 2: five today because I don't believe he's gonna get there.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, there's some strikeouts
Speaker 2: to be had in Seattle. This has been Strom's game.
Speaker 2: Looking at some splits here, I think this is playable.
Speaker 2: Might be a little bit risky, but I'm gonna play it.
Speaker 2: It's plus one fifty five for Strom to hit seven
Speaker 2: strikeouts today against the Mariners, so I really like that one.
Speaker 1: Razors going Otani thirteen k's today, and that's the thing
Speaker 1: I think everybody's looking at this, going, oh, I got
Speaker 1: strike out five million people. It feels like it could
Speaker 1: be one of the day's where he get seven or
Speaker 1: eight and he's just real efficient and he's out after
Speaker 1: six innings and they're just dominating this game. I'm just
Speaker 1: saying like, it feels more like that to me, And
Speaker 1: I think these are the most dangerous ones when you
Speaker 1: see a completely one sided situation. And so far, the
Speaker 1: only one this year that I remember hitting the over
Speaker 1: on these one sided Oh my god, this looks too
Speaker 1: good to be true was de Grom. He had like
Speaker 1: an eight and a half or nine and he got
Speaker 1: eleven that day. So far, most of the time, would
Speaker 1: you get a number that high you play the under.
Speaker 1: I know it's Oakland. I know I'm the guy saying
Speaker 1: always troll Oakland, but I think there's a certain level
Speaker 1: where also you're putting yourself in a bad situation. By
Speaker 1: the way, I don't know how we're gonna talk about this.
Speaker 1: Phil Ivy did not graduate for my high school. He
Speaker 1: just went there for a year.
Speaker 2: Therefore play poker.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know where he went to
Speaker 1: but I don't know if that counts. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you have to be a graduate for this conversation.
Speaker 1: But it's a fun conversation.
Speaker 2: I like ooh, I like the look at Casey's right there,
Speaker 2: Kirby Strom at eleven and a half combined strikeouts on
Speaker 2: Price Picks. I'm very much about that one. That's a
Speaker 2: really great ad. Where is it one of the last comments, yea, oh,
Speaker 2: there it is.
Speaker 1: There you go, Casey Leatherwood, Kirby Strom eleven and a
Speaker 1: half on Price Picks. There you go use the promo
Speaker 1: code leading off when you put it in there, though, Please,
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to a little other plug for
Speaker 1: another one of our sponsors here on the show. We
Speaker 1: like So Rare. That's right, We want you to go

Speaker 2: A cool thing about it is not only do you

Speaker 2: were opening up brand new Bowman. I actually just put
Speaker 2: out an article about the new Bowman cards. From Tops,
Speaker 2: you can get limited cards like Rare, super Rare, one
Speaker 2: of one, one to five hundred, and they have extra
Speaker 2: scoring points. And you take these cards and you play
Speaker 2: them in lineups. That's all around, and there's prizes to
Speaker 2: be had. There's huge prizes in there, and there's an
Speaker 2: open marketplace where you can buy and sell these.
Speaker 1: I like that it out.
Speaker 2: So rare is pretty pretty cool and pretty kind of
Speaker 2: encompasses all of it.
Speaker 1: A farmer's market for baseball stuff. Fantasypros dot Com, slash collect,
Speaker 1: Go play, So rare, the next era of MLB is here.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some dfs today. Joey Lukes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't win eight point three on fd that's pretty
Speaker 1: cheap there. Tyler Molly though, is even better at eight
Speaker 1: point eight. I would do lines with both of those
Speaker 1: guys and go up for the hitters today. That's my plan.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. I'm sticking with it. Baltimore, Minnesota.
Speaker 1: The stacks. I like Ryan McKenna two point one at
Speaker 1: the top of that order, Brett Baty two point four,
Speaker 1: and Jose Moranda two point five. There's your value home
Speaker 1: run board. Let's see if there's been any changes overnight.
Speaker 1: BHB Daddy still at the top of eleven. Raiso Ramon,
Speaker 1: say good night to the bad guy number eleven. Okay,
Speaker 1: Raiso Ramone. You know what, It's funny. Every time I
Speaker 1: come out of my garage and go to my car,
Speaker 1: the garage goes up slowly, and I always buy. I
Speaker 1: don't care nobody's watching me. In my head, I'm always
Speaker 1: Razor Ramone by kind of ducking underneath the ladder. I
Speaker 1: had my arms out like he did in that match
Speaker 1: with Sean Michaels. I just kind of walk to my
Speaker 1: car and I have a toothpick and I throw it
Speaker 1: out and I get in my car and I go
Speaker 1: pick up my kids. Man, that's what I do, Razor Ramone.
Speaker 1: Good for you getting up to the top of that leaderboard. Welsh,
Speaker 1: you're on the hot street. Go pick a dinger today.
Speaker 1: What do you got?
Speaker 2: I am dinging with mister Mike Trout. We're getting back
Speaker 2: to the dings for Mike Trout up against GP Sears.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like it's a little bit dicey when
Speaker 2: you get this age. You're like, hey, pick on the a's,
Speaker 2: pick on the a's, and it's like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: but this is the day that I'm gonna pick on
Speaker 2: the a's one hundred percent. So I like Trout to
Speaker 2: get going with it. I like the home run call,
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to make it back two back days,
Speaker 2: and if Trout goes over for four, I'm kind of
Speaker 2: gonna be losing across the board here. So we need
Speaker 2: that Mike Trout homer. I'm hoping to get it early, earlier.
Speaker 1: All right, early's good. Ryan Malcastle's I'm going he's already
Speaker 1: my prize pick. So again, when I invest in a
Speaker 1: player for the day, I.
Speaker 2: Invest him today. I almost picked him today.
Speaker 1: I like him.
Speaker 2: That's a great.
Speaker 1: WOD matchup for him there against the Detroit Tigers. They
Speaker 1: are no good at baseball. All I want now is
Speaker 1: to go make an offer for a Twater Rodriguez as
Speaker 1: soon as the show is over. In all my leagues,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing. I think everybody should do the same.
Speaker 1: I don't see Mayors in there, but again, we got
Speaker 1: the draft today, so Mayor is probably working on that,
Speaker 1: like I'm not working on it too. I'm here, Wonky's here,
Speaker 1: you're here. Where's Mike Mayer? I don't know, just saying,
Speaker 1: just saying Welsh. But this has been a fun show today.
