Speaker 2: MLB.
Speaker 1: This is Leading Off Live, brought to you by Bet
Speaker 1: three six five Bet five bucks get one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifteen bonus bets when you do on Bet three six
Speaker 1: five only with that promo code leading off. It is
Speaker 1: me Joey P. That of course is the Welsh and
Speaker 1: it's you, the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks, and I
Speaker 1: believe Joey P. Yes, we had some fun on the
Speaker 1: show yesterday. If you missed it, go back and watch
Speaker 1: it. It was a very musical program yesterday for a Monday,
Speaker 1: which was good because Welsh sometimes as a case of
Speaker 1: the Munday's here in the program. But wish we've got
Speaker 1: a great show for you, I guess today including more
Speaker 1: injuries to superstars. Are you excited about that? Because God
Speaker 1: knows I am. I know. The Peanuts and the Crackerjacks are.
Speaker 2: The Peanuts and the cracker Jacks are on my ass today.
Speaker 2: By the way, have you looked at the chat? Jeane
Speaker 2: is in here getting on me. They're playing the hat
Speaker 2: hair game. Everybody's on my butt today.
Speaker 1: Is let's go And I was even starting in case of.
Speaker 2: The tuesdays for this chat good lord.
Speaker 1: I like it called you welch to welch, isn't like
Speaker 1: you're a grape choice?
Speaker 2: And he did know, and he did the thing where
Speaker 2: he did it twice to make sure everybody sees it. Yes,
Speaker 2: Harper was gonna be my call yesterday, so thank you.
Speaker 1: Harper was gonna be my call yesterday too. So both
Speaker 1: of us should have picked Tarper and we would have
Speaker 1: been right. The home run board just got a little
Speaker 1: tighter too. Is another person from this program on the
Speaker 1: home run board today? Who is it?
Speaker 2: We'll see it's not gonna be sp It's not gonna
Speaker 2: be me, there's no chance.
Speaker 1: Uh. And it's not gonna be Fernando Tattis anytime soon.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be sidelined until after the All Star break.
Speaker 1: We get this correct here. He has a right femalal
Speaker 1: stress reaction. So uh, and it's gonna be a while.
Speaker 1: It's not just gonna be All Star break like, oh
Speaker 1: he's back. No, No, this is gonna be a while here.
Speaker 1: And this sucks because just when the Dodgers were a
Speaker 1: little vulnerable, the Padres are gonna lose you Darvish, he
Speaker 1: is back now hurt. We'll get to that Later in
Speaker 1: the show, Tatus out and Welsh just for fun, and
Speaker 1: I mean fun with a lowercase F. I went through
Speaker 1: the final draft rankings of fantasy pros that can census
Speaker 1: draft rankings. Ronald Akunye out for the year. He was
Speaker 1: number one, Bobby Witt, he's been great. Number two Julio
Speaker 1: Rodriguez is number three, has not been good. Mookie Betts
Speaker 1: out for a couple months after being great, and number
Speaker 1: four Kyle Tucker has been on the il now for
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Corbyn Carrol at six, things have not
Speaker 1: gone well, Tatus is now going to miss a couple months.
Speaker 1: Free minute eight he's been good. Soda at nine he's
Speaker 1: been good. But we did have that little scare there
Speaker 1: for a second where we all started to poop our shorts.
Speaker 1: Spencer Strider had ten out for the year. Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: at eleven, he's been good. And Trey Turner, stop it,
Speaker 1: he's already dead. They're already dead. Joe stop you're killing us.
Speaker 2: Geez.
Speaker 1: But interesting, well, not in the first that is fifty hurt.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 1: So I guess Wels you could say the first round
Speaker 1: is kind of a wash for everybody unless you took
Speaker 1: Judger Soto, right, you know, it means kind of well, what's.
Speaker 2: Funny with to your point, like the draft accuracy ratings
Speaker 2: which will come out next year, it's not gonna matter
Speaker 2: what you did in the first two rounds unless you
Speaker 2: boosted somebody up. It's gonna matter what happened, you know,
Speaker 2: and really the third, fourth round players at that point.
Speaker 2: But also that's a testament to our own leagues. It's
Speaker 2: been about the depth. It's been about the guys that
Speaker 2: you've hit on. In some very few cases, it's been
Speaker 2: about some of the guys you've been able to pick up.
Speaker 2: As far as prospects go. It may have been the
Speaker 2: case of the prospects you could let go of and
Speaker 2: jumping on quick enough for the guy like the Helio Ramos,
Speaker 2: the Nick Gonzalezes. Those are the players that are going
Speaker 2: to have made the big difference. But yeah, that's an absolutely,
Speaker 2: that's the depressing what you just said.
Speaker 1: Seven of twelve have either underperformed or gotten injured to
Speaker 1: a significant degree so far that it's more than fifty percent.
Speaker 1: The interesting thing is the round two guys. Alvarez he's
Speaker 1: been great, Ramiro has been great, Olson disappointing. Harper tremendous,
Speaker 1: Austin Riley hurt most of the time, Dever's good burns great,
Speaker 1: Albi's hurt, a lot o Tani. I don't know how
Speaker 1: A Tani was twenty one on this like this makes nice.
Speaker 2: A Tony was like three on my list before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tani was like top five for me too. I
Speaker 1: don't know why where this consensus got this, but the
Speaker 1: consensus was way off. Wheeler was at twenty two, Lindora
Speaker 1: twenty three, p Alonso twenty four. So yeah, it was
Speaker 1: not this. Leagues this year are going to be won
Speaker 1: by good trades, good waiver wire claims and good late
Speaker 1: round picking and Gunner Henderson and and Elie Dela Cruz
Speaker 1: and the guys that like all those like shoot your
Speaker 1: shot guys that actually showed up. That's how leagues are
Speaker 1: gonna win. So that was an interesting conversation. It was
Speaker 1: always good to look back because we're, you know, in
Speaker 1: the halfway point of the season.
Speaker 2: All Star breaks around the corner, so we got that.
Speaker 2: Paul Reagan's was good. Yeah, I'll go ahead. No, it's
Speaker 2: nothing on age. Yeah, it is interesting across the board.
Speaker 2: It's kind of devastating for the Padres this holding back
Speaker 2: of Tatis. I think they also just wanted to say
Speaker 2: they mentioned I think they I felt he needed a
Speaker 2: rest too, so they might be extending his time due
Speaker 2: to him just being able to recoup, so keeping him
Speaker 2: back there. But this is a pretty big blow to
Speaker 2: a Padres team who though is very very active in
Speaker 2: trade talks. So just be on the lookout for that.
Speaker 2: Maybe this is going to be the impetus for them
Speaker 2: to make a big move before the All Star Game.
Speaker 1: This just came across the wire too, just as I
Speaker 1: was looking. It looks like Chris Paddock. While I was
Speaker 1: talking about telling everybody to drop on Sunday's TV show,
Speaker 1: he goes to the fifteen day I with arm fatigue. So,
Speaker 1: not surprisingly, the last couple of starts of in bad
Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's had a good start though, one run, six
Speaker 1: innings off of the Royals and a win against the Marlins.
Speaker 1: Eleven strikeouts Pretty darn good. Justin Steele season high nine strikeouts.
Speaker 1: This guy can't buy a win. I'm very upset for
Speaker 1: Justin Steele. He deserves better, but I want this guy
Speaker 1: to get it done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, buddy, did you see that him and Deebro did
Speaker 2: a show together this past week on the football side. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they did. I got a random text from Debro Deebro
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pros here on the football side, and he just
Speaker 2: goes that Justin Steele guy is a great guy. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, buddy, I know. And if you if
Speaker 2: you remember the show they do they did. It was
Speaker 2: someone else's show, but they were on together. And I
Speaker 2: had told the story when I was hanging with Justin
Speaker 2: Steele and he loved Fantasy Pros. We talked about all
Speaker 2: of it, and the person he knew was Deebro and
Speaker 2: it makes sense the southern twang that they both have.
Speaker 2: And then I connected them, and then they apparently just
Speaker 2: were talking the other day and he's like, Justin Steele's
Speaker 2: pretty cool, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, he is. And
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden they did a podcast together
Speaker 2: the other day.
Speaker 1: Justin. If you're watching, and I know you're probably not
Speaker 1: because you'reatch the footballhows and not the baseball shows, come
Speaker 1: on our show, hang out with us a little bit,
Speaker 1: or come on the football show, do a mock draft
Speaker 1: with us. We have fun time.
Speaker 2: I should hit him up.
Speaker 1: I should hit him up, tell him to do tell
Speaker 1: him in July. Look, he's sitting around four times a week.
Speaker 1: You got nothing to do. We hop on a podcasts
Speaker 1: a little Justin's He's everybody kind of got podcast and
Speaker 1: then have us on his podcast, Bryce Harper three for
Speaker 1: five with the three run homer. As we mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: that was the way to go. I was going back
Speaker 1: and forth and anyway, it was it's funny eight to
Speaker 1: one win. But yeah, Casey Meis in that game had
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts of.
Speaker 2: Well he got was a furrown up in the first
Speaker 2: year in game. And these two attached to my bets,
Speaker 2: by the way. I had the Reagans I got. I'm
Speaker 2: kicking myself too, by the way, because you guys remember
Speaker 2: from yesterday, I not only took the Reagans strikeouts, but
Speaker 2: I said might be willing to ladder bet it. I
Speaker 2: didn't sure, wish I did. The other was the Philly
Speaker 2: run line, and Phillies only got him in the first.
Speaker 2: They annihilated Casey Meis in the first, but then he
Speaker 2: then proceeded to settle down and have a career high
Speaker 2: strikeouts ten and he just shut him down. I don't
Speaker 2: know what happened he left everything in the zone. The
Speaker 2: splitter wasn't splitting. And then in the first and Boone
Speaker 2: got him, Harper was getting him, and then everything honed in.
Speaker 2: Those starts are the weirdest to me. I can't comprehend
Speaker 2: those where a guy looks atrocious awful getting annihilated and
Speaker 2: then just settles down to the point where they look elite,
Speaker 2: like had that first inning just not happen, we might
Speaker 2: have been headlighting Casey Mies as someone we need to
Speaker 2: pay attention to. Let's say he had struck out two
Speaker 2: in the first twelve strikeout games. So I don't know,
Speaker 2: Casey miss just had no form of consistency all year,
Speaker 2: But that was I just want to point out that's
Speaker 2: a weird start. It was all your first inning.
Speaker 1: Austin Riley just for fun, two for four, starting to
Speaker 1: heat up. We talked about it last week. So finally
Speaker 1: he's healthy. Over his last ten games was fifteen for
Speaker 1: thirty four with a four to forty one batting average,
Speaker 1: five bombs.
Speaker 2: Ten ribies. Pretty good.
Speaker 1: Now, the overall picture is still bad, still two fifty
Speaker 1: one on the years, seven forty five ohps. So he's
Speaker 1: looking like one of these guys if you had a
Speaker 1: bi low trade on Austin Riley, you could get really rewarded,
Speaker 1: because again, we just lost Fernando Tatis, we lost Mookie Bets.
Speaker 1: We're losing guys left and right. It's terrible. But Austin
Speaker 1: Riley looks like he's probably turning things around.
Speaker 2: Welsh, Yeah, and I mean this is what we need.
Speaker 2: We needed these high end third basemen. I mean, you've
Speaker 2: had the low guys in Alex Bregman failing Devs has
Speaker 2: been fine, just the injuries have been weird. Riley has
Speaker 2: been the same. I'll tell you what. Jordan in the
Speaker 2: chat posted a trade where he traded a rise in
Speaker 2: Mount Waldron to get Alec Bohm. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2: Alec Bohm is someone I have turned a complete one
Speaker 2: eighty on because his profile is fascinating this year, and
Speaker 2: he is like the counting stats have not quite caught
Speaker 2: up to what some of the underlying stats are telling us,
Speaker 2: but I mean you're talking almost top ten percentele and
Speaker 2: like expected batting average, expected slug, his barrel rates are
Speaker 2: looking good. Hard hit is trying to start to develop.
Speaker 2: Alec Bohm in this offense is he's this year's Josh Naylor.
Speaker 2: He's a guy that's gonna have maybe twenty homers, but
Speaker 2: he's not like one hundred and twenty five rbi or
Speaker 2: something like that. He also doesn't score runs, which is weird.
Speaker 2: But we needed the Rileys and the Devors to kind
Speaker 2: of balance out the third base spot because right now
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, Jose Ramirez, Royce lewis a big
Speaker 2: old gap, and then it's like there's Alec Bohm. But
Speaker 2: Alec Bohe, by the way, just someone I'm buying into
Speaker 2: rest of the season with that hard hit. But thank you
Speaker 2: Riley Endeavors for coming back in and playing.
Speaker 1: You're right, and thank you notes like Jimmy Fallon nowadays.
Speaker 2: Uh they would do they go thank you, thank you notes? Yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 1: I like Riley for sucking for two and a half
Speaker 1: months and then being great after I traded you a
Speaker 1: week later. Yeah, like the envelope.
Speaker 2: And ye, I actually like that. I'm not a big
Speaker 2: Jimmy bit Jimmy Fallon's I think he's kind of tough
Speaker 2: to light.
Speaker 1: He's funny.
Speaker 2: It's tough to like. Yeah, it's kind of.
Speaker 1: Tough to like, but like, well, where's a good tough
Speaker 1: to like, but people like us, you're tough to like.
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it's not tough to like Brian Reynolds.
Speaker 1: A hit streak is up to twenty one. Brian Reynolds
Speaker 1: one of the just better underappreciated baseball players. You know,
Speaker 1: if you didn't play in Pittsburgh. Alway said this, people
Speaker 1: would talk about Brian Renolds way more real quick too.
Speaker 1: I was just looking at this because I know spot
Speaker 1: Track does it every year. Uh they because one of
Speaker 1: all the guys who are hurt and all these things,
Speaker 1: and how it meant for fantasy. But what does it
Speaker 1: mean a Major League baseball right?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: Do you want to take a guess here of what
Speaker 1: team has had the most money paid out on the
Speaker 1: AL this year?
Speaker 3: You know they guess, Oh it might surprise you, actually,
Speaker 3: yeah might Because Okay, I was going to say the Padres,
Speaker 3: but now I'm gonna say the Diamondbacks because of the
Speaker 3: rotation that all has money attached to it.
Speaker 1: It's not there all the way down at thirteen. And
Speaker 1: it's not the Padres. They're at fifteen. Okay, hear those
Speaker 1: tops the White Sox. I'll give you a hint. American
Speaker 1: League West has two of the top three teams of
Speaker 1: most money paid to people on the IL nine eighty
Speaker 1: two days total missed for the Texas Rangers is the
Speaker 1: most fifty one dollars so far paid the players. That's
Speaker 1: it's almost like because the Sures or into Gram and
Speaker 1: obviously that's.
Speaker 2: That's almost stupid to me to not say that, you know,
Speaker 2: obviously to Gram, Insures or Josh Young has.
Speaker 1: The Angels number two, eight hundred and twenty three total days.
Speaker 2: But obviously the trout contract. I was about to say,
Speaker 2: eighty percent of that is my out though.
Speaker 1: The Rockies are third, which is fascinating.
Speaker 2: A thirty one brand, big old contract.
Speaker 1: By I forget he's there. I forget he's there. The
Speaker 1: healthiest team in baseball. You want to guess, healthiest team
Speaker 1: in base Well, not the healthiest team in baseball, but
Speaker 1: the healthiest quotient of days. It's one of the lower tiers.
Speaker 1: It's in the bottom. Actually it might be alor just
Speaker 1: give me l it's the fourth healthiest American League team
Speaker 1: and the least amount of money.
Speaker 2: It's an American team league. I'm going to say, ooh,
Speaker 2: the A's Now, this is fun.
Speaker 1: In the chat, see if you can guess who has
Speaker 1: been the healthiest team in baseball to the ratio of
Speaker 1: money on the IL this year. Fascinating. It makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense when you see it. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles right now for the rookie lookie Heston
Speaker 1: kurestat two for four. He played well, he got caught
Speaker 1: up and he played. We're so excited. K Povich three
Speaker 1: runs in five and two thirds not so good. And
Speaker 1: Colton Kwser was on the pine. Kowser's been Stone code
Speaker 1: two eighty five two ninety nine slash since May one.
Speaker 1: Colton Kowser, Boy, if you didn't sell high on him,
Speaker 1: you missed out.
Speaker 2: I've had a lot of like, should I cut Colton
Speaker 2: Kowser in redraft? Yeah, you could move on from it.
Speaker 2: I still have optimism because absolutely monster hard hit numbers,
Speaker 2: incredibly great barrel rate, double digit launch angle. Those are
Speaker 2: things for success. What is not is having like a
Speaker 2: really bad strikeout rate, which he does, but his expected
Speaker 2: batting average is higher, expected slug is higher, hard hit numbers,
Speaker 2: he's still averaging almost ninety two miles per hour exit
Speaker 2: velocity on the average a hit. He's in a massive funk.
Speaker 2: So from a dynasty perspective. I love the buying opportunity
Speaker 2: for Kowser big year coming next year when he fixes
Speaker 2: some of those things.
Speaker 1: The redraft fit in next year with all these other guys,
Speaker 1: with the Kobe Mayos and the Jackson Holidays and all
Speaker 1: these other cures. Dad, like, where does he fit?
Speaker 2: He fits? He fits in that there's going to be
Speaker 2: a trade, like the the Orioles are going to trade,
Speaker 2: and they're going to consolidate to some cats. I don't
Speaker 2: think he gets traded. I truly believe that hester Kerstad's
Speaker 2: going to get traded. So I just don't think he
Speaker 2: goes necessarily anywhere. But he could be. I think he
Speaker 2: could be a little bit more expendable, or he's just
Speaker 2: going to be platooned. I think that's the way they're
Speaker 2: going to approach him, is platoon him in his.
Speaker 1: One of those infielders.
Speaker 2: I think we were the in fielders.
Speaker 1: I don't know which one, but they got they got
Speaker 1: a plethora of people.
Speaker 2: What do you mean, like like Norby or You're you're
Speaker 2: alluding to Holland Norby, Kobe Mayo.
Speaker 1: I think one of them. I don't know if though,
Speaker 1: I mean Kowser would make sense. He's already had some
Speaker 1: major league time, so at least you say, okay, like
Speaker 1: if your team trying to turn things around quickly.
Speaker 2: I think Mayo and Holiday are untouchable. I think Norby,
Speaker 2: I think Kerstad. I think those are guys that can
Speaker 2: be had in PA.
Speaker 1: Curstat's power has been so good. But how do you
Speaker 1: trade that guy? Uh? A lot of good guesses here,
Speaker 1: the Rays, Lucas said, TJ said, the Tigers. But grizz
Speaker 1: was the first one to get right. The Oriole really,
Speaker 1: I Oriols so far.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you, and you know, don't
Speaker 2: kill me because it's like a home run. You were
Speaker 2: going to do Price Harper, you didn't. I was gonna
Speaker 2: see the Orioles, but then I didn't because you've got
Speaker 2: bradish and you've had means that have had signific Yeah.
Speaker 2: I's so that's why I.
Speaker 1: Went all the other the youth of the Orions, the
Speaker 1: state healthy.
Speaker 2: The closer completely. Felix Batista, Yeah, but.
Speaker 1: No, I mean the Detroit Tigers have had less days
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty six days on the IL. I'll
Speaker 1: get another young team, which is interesting. The Podgers at
Speaker 1: three eighty two, the Toronto Blue Jays at three nineteen,
Speaker 1: but the Baltimore Orios just formed in seventeen days on
Speaker 1: the IL four million dollars, the lowest in baseball four
Speaker 1: point two million. Again, you want to talk about the
Speaker 1: ratio of success. Good young core position players getting the
Speaker 1: job done on a daily basis. That's how you build
Speaker 1: a major league team. And that's why I that is
Speaker 1: why we talked about yesterday the Alonzo thing. Yeah, Trey
Speaker 1: p Alonso, give me more of those guys, because that
Speaker 1: is the secret to staying healthy, winning and being consistent
Speaker 1: at the major league level. At this point, you have
Speaker 1: to have young core position players that are gonna go
Speaker 1: out there every single day and play. And you know,
Speaker 1: this is why I feel bad for the White Sox
Speaker 1: because the White Sox theoretically did it right. The White
Speaker 1: Sox locked up all the young position player guys. Everyone
Speaker 1: got hurt and miserable.
Speaker 2: Eloy and Moncada and Robert and then it all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did the They had the right playbook. They
Speaker 1: just had all the wrong players to do, which is
Speaker 1: really unfortnate. Three up, three down, that's a little bit
Speaker 1: of right pieces, wrong pieces. Tanner Biby struck out seven guys.
Speaker 1: He's lept to over one hundred strikeouts on the year,
Speaker 1: by the way, and eighty something eighty six innings, really
Speaker 1: good ratio for him. TODs Bradley a k's one run
Speaker 1: in five and the third and our boy, Ellie de
Speaker 1: la Cruz a two rundger three ribies yesterday in a
Speaker 1: blowout win over the Pirates. And he wasn't the only
Speaker 1: Cruise either. There were two cruise home runs yesterday, two
Speaker 1: cruise missiles, one from Ellie, one from O'Neill. So there
Speaker 1: you go my.
Speaker 2: Home run bet. I think I just need What was
Speaker 2: my bet twenty four this year? I think was the
Speaker 2: season bet? So I'm almost half way there, not even
Speaker 2: into July, so come on we go?
Speaker 1: Who is that with me?
Speaker 2: Or is that my My only big bets I placed
Speaker 2: preseason outside of an two was Ellie to lead the
Speaker 2: league in stone bases and oneal Cruz to hit twenty
Speaker 2: and four more homers.
Speaker 1: The leading the league's own base looks pretty pretty good.
Speaker 2: I'm glad we did that on radio too. We did
Speaker 2: that on betting pro, so I get to look back.
Speaker 1: We did you clip that bad boy? Three down? Spencer Schwellenbach, Schwelling,
Speaker 1: Swelling by You four four runs and five innings for him,
Speaker 1: Joe Adell oh for four. He is now seven for
Speaker 1: his last sixty three with one homer in the month
Speaker 1: of juney Nathaniel Low oh for four, being with you,
Speaker 1: girls like being low? Hey, hey, hey, like being stoned?
Speaker 1: Oh for four, struck out three times yesterday. So those
Speaker 1: are the downs, which certainly has not been good. No,
Speaker 1: that would be Cracker. Cracker sang low.
Speaker 2: Wasn't he a rapper? No? Who's the guy, Cole Cracker?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, just the band Cracker. They sang low.
Speaker 1: It was another Cracker song, Get on with it if
Speaker 1: you want to change the world, such a mouth, get
Speaker 1: rat to it.
Speaker 3: That They sang that song too, But low was that
Speaker 3: sings that sounded like damn thumb man sing for the
Speaker 3: sing for the love and sings.
Speaker 2: That's I know, I know that's what it sounded like.
Speaker 2: I don't think I remember Cracker.
Speaker 1: Remember beer with you girl, Black, being Low, Hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: lack being Stone.
Speaker 2: Oh Yeah, that was a good song, now, you know,
Speaker 2: very crackery song.
Speaker 1: Very crackery. I don't think I have a banded Cracker anymore.
Speaker 1: I have a band named Honky. You can do that.
Speaker 1: Oh maybe he just like crackers. I mean crackers are
Speaker 1: de listed.
Speaker 2: See Jim is making fun of me, saying my favorite
Speaker 2: culture knowledge is that you guys are making fun of me.
Speaker 2: It's actually very impressive.
Speaker 1: But what it is I continue to be unimpressed.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, this is my point. The problem is Joe
Speaker 2: is very specific to Joe Land, to Joe Worlds, and
Speaker 2: I have not I have not been able to capture
Speaker 2: all of Joe World. So Joe World's pop culture shows
Speaker 2: on this show and I'm like, what the hell are
Speaker 2: you talking about? He just sang a song about my
Speaker 2: What do we talk?
Speaker 1: Cracker? Go to cracker?
Speaker 2: Welsh? What is it? Go to cracker? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's your favorite? Your favorite cracker?
Speaker 2: See?
Speaker 1: I like the club crackers. I think ritz are too flop.
Speaker 2: Crackers are pretty good.
Speaker 1: They fall apart now you can't put anything on it.
Speaker 2: They just actually know what.
Speaker 1: I love the club cracker. That is a sturdy cracker
Speaker 1: that you can build a foundation of a snack on.
Speaker 2: I like wheat thens a lot, like I could weaken.
Speaker 1: Are you a trisk it guy or is that too.
Speaker 2: You know only trisk it with something. I used to
Speaker 2: hate trisc its, but like if you put you know, cheese,
Speaker 2: or like trisk it with cheese, cheese, peanut butter and
Speaker 2: crackers is too much. But wheat thins are like those
Speaker 2: are like the sli the sleeper of crackers. Not this song.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what to do with that. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go on to the injuries. The Blue Jays are
Speaker 1: expecting to activate Boba Schett.
Speaker 2: That's good. They don't have any of the other. Shortstop
Speaker 2: is suspended because he's cheated. He's a cheater. He wanted
Speaker 2: to have a kid, so he filled himself up with cheat.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he was on that hymn stuff he had
Speaker 1: those mints. Are you telling me that he's the only
Speaker 1: guy on on any sort of medication in Major League Baseball?
Speaker 1: That's you know, that sort of fertility.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that has uh that has steroids in it. They
Speaker 2: laced it, well, doesn't that?
Speaker 1: But but most I would imagine most of them would
Speaker 1: have I'm not a doctor, but aren't they testosterone related
Speaker 1: to a certain degree the drug?
Speaker 2: To me, this is all like the same inverse where
Speaker 2: they're like, hey, guys, don't eat a poppy seed muffin
Speaker 2: or you're gonna, you know, show up on a drug leader.
Speaker 2: I feel like all of these players are trying to
Speaker 2: sell us the poppy seed muffin thing, Like, I don't worry.
Speaker 2: I was just having a muffin. It just popped up.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to have a family. Can't a man
Speaker 1: have a family? And now I'm out at work. I'm
Speaker 1: suspended for eight Now I can't afford to have a family. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I can't actually have one. Well, look he's got
Speaker 1: eighty days to get busy and be on the stuff.
Speaker 2: You know what, what what is the math on that?
Speaker 2: Next March spring training? There better be a baby of rolls.
Speaker 1: Junior Eloya Metez. There was a lot of controversy on
Speaker 1: the show yesterday because I was talking about him being
Speaker 1: back and it Welsh is like, he's going back to
Speaker 1: the I L he played, Yet.
Speaker 2: I know he played. They said he was day to day.
Speaker 2: I thought he might have been going back. He's day
Speaker 2: to day.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's day to day al right. TJ. Friedel not
Speaker 1: day to day. He is on the I L with
Speaker 1: hamstring strain. Wilson Contrero's good news. He is back from
Speaker 1: the forearm issue, the broken forearm. That was scary injury.
Speaker 1: Prian Woo not good.
Speaker 2: So w was hurt.
Speaker 1: Wo came back. Now he's undergoing an MRI on the
Speaker 1: hamstring Tuesday. So very weird set of circumstances for him.
Speaker 1: My guess as he goes on the io, Welsh, I'd
Speaker 1: be very surprised. Starling Marte goes on the io. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be out for fifteen days with a bone inflammation
Speaker 1: in his.
Speaker 2: Knee is inflamed. Not bones were a pretty big solid well.
Speaker 1: You know, when the bone is inflamed, you give a
Speaker 1: guy a blow for fifteen days and he comes back
Speaker 1: and he plays uh cole Win fifteen day il retroactive
Speaker 1: June eighteenth with right shoulder Paine. See, nobody really pays
Speaker 1: attention to us. That's how we get away with these things.
Speaker 1: You know. We're like our own little island here. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you guys are doing your cute little baseball show.
Speaker 2: Football Company was like, yeah, you guys just doing great,
Speaker 2: good job. Pat us on the head, Yeah.
Speaker 1: You do a football show.
Speaker 2: You're so cute.
Speaker 1: Who likes a baseball show? Who likes That's what.
Speaker 2: We're sitting over here, just annihilating steroids and making blow jokes.
Speaker 1: And but the people love it. You guys love it.
Speaker 1: They'll pretend I saw it.
Speaker 2: By the way, is one of those things in the world.
Speaker 2: I don't know there's a term for this, I remember
Speaker 2: what it is, but like where something is unlocked to
Speaker 2: you and then you just see it everywhere, like once
Speaker 2: you are aware of something. That's what they having a
Speaker 2: blow is. Now I now see like people talking about it,
Speaker 2: like managers talking about it more. And I had never
Speaker 2: really seen that a lot before, and now.
Speaker 1: That was me in the suresy. Remember that happened a
Speaker 1: couple of years. You had never heard I never heard
Speaker 1: of the phrase. Thought, I was.
Speaker 2: Like, what is Joe? Last year? Thought I made up?
Speaker 2: I think you made it up.
Speaker 1: I never heard that phrase my whole life, and now
Speaker 1: I hear it.
Speaker 2: So I should get you.
Speaker 1: I do know what you mean.
Speaker 2: Oh, we should have sir, we should have fantasy pro
Speaker 2: sys like a Joe, like like a would you be well?
Speaker 2: I mean there's joke.
Speaker 1: You're a double zero. You're a bigger guy.
Speaker 2: Thanks there, tiny guy.
Speaker 1: You're you're a tall guy.
Speaker 2: I didn't mean fat guy is a bigger dude. I
Speaker 2: was like the number twenty.
Speaker 1: It was your size, I would have played semi professional football.
Speaker 2: Thirty seven I was too small. Thirty seven would be
Speaker 2: my number in thirty seven in a row would be
Speaker 2: don't leave us?
Speaker 1: You know, I gotta think about that.
Speaker 2: What would it just say piece of P on the
Speaker 2: back or Joey P or would.
Speaker 1: And then no, I would be Joey P Jerseys and
Speaker 1: then they got to get a number in the back.
Speaker 1: I gotta think about that. I gotta think about that.
Speaker 1: Rangers put cole Win on the fifteen day il with
Speaker 1: shoulder sprains, so that's not gonna be good. Clayton Kershaw
Speaker 1: shutting down for a week because of the soreness in
Speaker 1: his shoulder now now could just be precautionary. We're all
Speaker 1: just okay, just going through the process. But there's a
Speaker 1: time frame here where the Dodgers is gonna have to
Speaker 1: make some hard decisions in the next two weeks.
Speaker 2: They have to.
Speaker 1: Decide can we count on these guys to come back
Speaker 1: and contribute or do we have to continue to push
Speaker 1: the chips in trade more kids. Figure out what we
Speaker 1: gotta do. And because the Kershaw thing, I feel like
Speaker 1: that was there, that was there one in the chamber
Speaker 1: that they were keeping. You know, they knew it was
Speaker 1: gonna be there, like, Okay, no matter what happens injuries,
Speaker 1: we'll have kersh Off for the stretcher on. It's like
Speaker 1: adding somebody without actually trading assets. I don't think they're
Speaker 1: gonna have their cake and eat it too. Just doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think there was also a rumor that popped
Speaker 2: out today that the Dodgers are now involved in the
Speaker 2: Luis Robert and Garrett Crochet stuff. I think where you
Speaker 2: can look at the Dodgers and say, hello, all these
Speaker 2: fun guys that they've got, Like imagine when everyone's healthy.
Speaker 2: It's probably more realistically they're sitting around going, oh my god,
Speaker 2: this is not working. Yamamoto's hurt, clay Shaw Clayshaw. Clay
Speaker 2: Shaw is you know, continuously hurt. Bobby Miller doesn't look right, Like,
Speaker 2: I think they need to go and make a move.
Speaker 2: To your point, you don't move Gavin Stone, you got
Speaker 2: Kyle Hurt, Landed Nak, You've got all these position players
Speaker 2: that they could move from if they wanted to move
Speaker 2: Andy pay Hoot, Like they've got so much to work with,
Speaker 2: whether it's Eric fetti or they end up, you know,
Speaker 2: going somewhere else in the market.
Speaker 1: Dog Razor brings up Crouchete to the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if that that r out, that
Speaker 2: rumor's out there right now.
Speaker 1: You've gotta trust him in October, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, but I think, Daris, I think that's the problem.
Speaker 1: We tease this in the front, so we're gonna give
Speaker 1: it to you here towards the end. You Darvish dealing
Speaker 1: with the elbow inflammation, is not going to return today
Speaker 1: as he originally was going to. So Adams, that looks
Speaker 1: like you Darvish is coming to an end here, which
Speaker 1: is unfortunate. It's been a very good career for him.
Speaker 2: I was hoping the I feel like he's retiring. Is
Speaker 2: that retiring?
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I'm not saying he's retiring. I'm saying
Speaker 1: it's done. That's what I'm saying. Do you know it
Speaker 1: never stops? Because yesterday two w's.
Speaker 3: It's the best bets of the days.
Speaker 1: With Joey p and the Welsh. Make sure you place
Speaker 1: your bets at bet three sixty five with the promo
Speaker 1: code leading off. That's one word bet five bucks get
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen bonus bets when you do eighteen
Speaker 1: or over In Kentucky gambling problem called one eight hundred
Speaker 1: gambler or one one hundred bets off. In Iowa, terms
Speaker 1: and conditions apply Welsh for me, I'm going to the
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown today to start.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: We talked about the last three games, how good he's been.
Speaker 1: He has been a sub one era, a sub one whip.
Speaker 1: The guy is three and oh he has been tremendous.
Speaker 1: And he gets the Colorado Rockies in Houston today. So
Speaker 1: give me the over on the strikeout seven and a
Speaker 1: half a minus one oh five one hundred Brown today.
Speaker 1: I'll put that along with the pastor was on the
Speaker 1: money line. You can get this up to about two
Speaker 1: to one if you do that. So Astro's Hunter Brown.
Speaker 1: That's your little parlay of the day. Aaron Judge against
Speaker 1: the Mets. Yes, please over one and a half total
Speaker 1: bases minus one thirteen. I like this one a lot,
Speaker 1: David for the Mets today, and I'm gonna go under
Speaker 1: the only one I didn't get yesterday it was the
Speaker 1: under on that Philly game. You thought, with all that
Speaker 1: you know pitching things would have been better, but not
Speaker 1: so much. Uh but yeah under on the Phillies Detroit
Speaker 1: today with Suarez and scooball.
Speaker 2: On the mound.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking for today, So Suarez Schoobol. I
Speaker 1: think that's enough good pitching there. We're gonna get that.
Speaker 1: So I'm going the under in this game. You get
Speaker 1: minus one ten on that bad boy?
Speaker 2: Welsh? What do you have today for Tuesdays bets? Bes?
Speaker 2: We almost had puppet Joe, did we? Hey? Yo, everybody,
Speaker 2: it's time to make bets? Who wants to blow all?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Bets?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Little that one right there?
Speaker 1: I how you recharge your battery as Welsh?
Speaker 2: I cannot find. Some guys are.
Speaker 1: Tired and you just need one to go out there
Speaker 1: for you know, and then your back right is reign.
Speaker 2: The next day your internet needed to recharge that battery there.
Speaker 2: So we almost had it. I lost it. So the
Speaker 2: betting pros people, that's that's the running joke. Joe Freeze.
Speaker 1: Everybody disappears amazing free shot. So did I get my
Speaker 1: bets out?
Speaker 2: At least?
Speaker 1: Did you hear on my bets?
Speaker 2: Repeat? You got most of it? You were gone to the.
Speaker 1: Brown seven and a half got that over minus one
Speaker 1: and a half minus one oh five ecuse and parlay
Speaker 1: that with.
Speaker 2: The Astros on the money. Got all that.
Speaker 1: Judge total bases over one and a half minus one
Speaker 1: thirteen against the Mets and under the seven and a
Speaker 1: half total runs for the Philly Detroit game with Scoras
Speaker 1: and School on the Now, those are the best bets
Speaker 1: of the.
Speaker 2: Day for me. We got it all right. Would you
Speaker 2: say you were two and one yesterday? Two and one,
Speaker 2: yes two and one also yesterday, Padres can only win
Speaker 2: by one, So we didn't pull out the others, but
Speaker 2: we did get those other bad boys. So today we
Speaker 2: are going to Kansas City and the Marlins nine and
Speaker 2: a half runs on the over under, and we are
Speaker 2: taking the under today. And this, my friends, is built
Speaker 2: solely around Seth Lugo. Seth Lugo is pitching. He is
Speaker 2: been phenomenal this year. I am betting on him shutting
Speaker 2: down the Marlins. They may put up six or seven themselves,
Speaker 2: but it's about the shutdown. So nine and a half runs,
Speaker 2: I'm taking the under minus one o eight Philly. How
Speaker 2: about a Philly first five money line. There is a
Speaker 2: crazy matchup Ranger Swarz and Errk Scuble, did I want
Speaker 2: to take the no run first inning the nurfy, Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna because it's all juice to hell. Terrek
Speaker 2: Scuble and Ranger Swarz is a phenomenal matchup, and that's
Speaker 2: why both money lines on the first five are close ones,
Speaker 2: like almost even money ones around one twenty. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go on this one and I'm gonna take Philly. Their
Speaker 2: offense has just been phenomenal. Derek Scoobel has had a
Speaker 2: couple iffy outings here, but you get Alec boem is
Speaker 2: locked in Schwarber, locked in Bryce Harper locked in at
Speaker 2: Schwarberfest time. So I'm just taking a money line play
Speaker 2: and that one is right around even money minus one
Speaker 2: oh five for Philly to be winning. And obviously if
Speaker 2: they're just tied, we just push and we move on.
Speaker 2: And then I'm going back to the strikeout parlays that
Speaker 2: I've been doing, where I pare down, so I'm pairing
Speaker 2: down The actual number from a player seth Lugo today
Speaker 2: is five and a half. McKinsey Gore is five and
Speaker 2: a half, So I am just taking straight set Lugo
Speaker 2: five McKenzie Gore five. Pairing those together, I hit one
Speaker 2: oh seven. As long as they hit five, we're golden.
Speaker 2: We're golden, Jerry, and I'm gonna pair those plus a
Speaker 2: little bit over plus money plus one oh seven seth Lugo,
Speaker 2: McKinzie Gore again, Philly first five money line and the
Speaker 2: Kansas City Miami under full game. Those be the bets, Joe,
Speaker 2: and I'm looking to cash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, best bets of the day. Download the betting pros
Speaker 1: app start betting smarter, not harder, and go ahead and
Speaker 1: win some cash. And make sure you go register over
Speaker 1: at bet three six five with that promo code leading off.
Speaker 1: All right, So it turns out Wonky Penguin still pretty
Speaker 1: good even and nothing can keep the onenkey Penguin down
Speaker 1: no matter what, no health issues, nothing. She is now
Speaker 1: right behind me, right behind me. I can see the
Speaker 1: baseball cap right behind me. There she is a twenty
Speaker 1: home runs. I'm a twenty one again.
Speaker 2: What the sound does a penguin make? So you do
Speaker 2: it again? I don't know. In my brain, that's what
Speaker 2: a penguin. That's what they make. That's that is now
Speaker 2: what they make, So that that is wonky.
Speaker 1: On your coattails right on my coattails there, So Welsh,
Speaker 1: I can't have that happen. So I'm gonna go continue
Speaker 1: with my astros. I like Hun Brown the bets today,
Speaker 1: mister Alvarez, Mister Alvarez, it's gonna be the home run
Speaker 1: call today for me against the Colorado Rockies. I think
Speaker 1: we get into that bullpen sooner than later. That's what
Speaker 1: I want to see. So Alvarez is my call today?
Speaker 1: Who's your home run call the day? Wellsh let's play it,
Speaker 1: or or we back to the We're back to the wheel.
Speaker 2: No, he said, next week, we're gonna go wheel the
Speaker 2: All Star Game. I'm I mean, if I'm not on
Speaker 2: the board, I think that's what we're gonna If I
Speaker 2: don't even get a freaking homer, it's a no doubt here.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go O G style. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: to the guy that has done me right all year long,
Speaker 2: Gunner Henderson. So we are going back to the Gunner.
Speaker 2: Get me on the board. Maybe we can get two.
Speaker 2: I don't think I've had to going against a lefty today.
Speaker 1: What's his numbers against lefties?
Speaker 2: He's going up again? Now, Well, now you're making me
Speaker 2: forget he's going up against Cole Irvin. I believe, okay,
Speaker 2: and I don't know.
Speaker 1: Fun fun fact. The Dodgers are twenty three and oh
Speaker 1: this year, when Miguel Rojas gets a hit, say that interesting.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are twenty three and oh, when Miguel Rojas
Speaker 1: has a hit, what.
Speaker 2: Are his odds to get a hit? By the way,
Speaker 2: Gunner Henderson two seventy against lefties, but to your point,
Speaker 2: twenty of his twenty four homers have come against.
Speaker 1: Righty's yes saying yes because I was looking at Gunner
Speaker 1: this morning, I want I think I'm gonna go off
Speaker 1: that because of the lefty or anything. But you never know, Gunner,
Speaker 1: You never know. Actually, Walkee, Penguin's correcting me. The sound
Speaker 1: of Penguin makes is get out of my way, Joe,
Speaker 1: that's actually what you know what, I'm going to stand
Speaker 1: in your way.
Speaker 2: Wonky wasn't mean at all, like walk comes to the
Speaker 2: nice Yeah, well, like Wonky's gonna be like, no, she's snarky,
Speaker 2: but she's she's very snarky.
Speaker 1: That's because she's smarter than all of us, but very
Speaker 1: so dumb.
Speaker 2: Very lovely. When we all get to hang out in Nashville.
Speaker 1: She has wonderful people there, way better than us, Nicer, smarter,
Speaker 1: all the above.
Speaker 2: Carried someone to the helped someone back to the room
Speaker 2: who was lost in an elevator.
Speaker 1: She did, She did, whereas I just was like, well,
Speaker 1: good luck, everybody. I'm going to bed. Old man's going
Speaker 1: to bed because I can hold my liquor. That person
Speaker 1: will not be named, And no, it's nobody you know here, No,
Speaker 1: none of the analyst people. It was the funniest part
Speaker 1: about that. It was somebody that was you would never
Speaker 1: have guessed would be that person in the lobby that
Speaker 1: needed that assistance.
Speaker 2: And we were. And by the way, it was Joe, myself,
Speaker 2: Wonky and the Great John. We're all standing there and
Speaker 2: the elevator opened to chaos. It was like this. It
Speaker 2: was just like, we're like, look, what is happening?
