Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody to Fantasy Pros m LB. This is
Speaker 1: Leading Off Live, brought you by Prize Picks. Sign up
Speaker 1: today for price fixed and use the promo code leading
Speaker 1: Off when you do. It's me Joey p Joe Pi's
Speaker 1: a p of that, of course, is a Welsh. I'm
Speaker 1: feeling refreshed and renewed today, Welsh. It's been a long week.
Speaker 1: I got some rest. I got to the gym this morning.
Speaker 1: I got outside for a nice walk. I saw the sunlight.
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen that I felt like in like a
Speaker 1: day or two, between the rain and other things going on.
Speaker 1: So I feel good. I'm ready to go. And speaking
Speaker 1: of sunlight, I want to shine a light on one
Speaker 1: of our peanuts and crackerjacks. Right at the top, Richie Silva.
Speaker 1: Richie's got a big deal. Blockbuster, donabuster. Fourteen managers, twenty
Speaker 1: three players. It's a battle to the death here, Young,
Speaker 1: I Troy did Josh Young. I don't think Richie sounds
Speaker 1: like this, but maybe Josh, Matt McLean and Jill dig it.
Speaker 1: Here's the deal. I'm gonna give it to you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Josh Young, Matt McClain and Jazz Chisholm and Richie got
Speaker 1: back Ellie, Dela Cruz, Bader and Crone. Did I win
Speaker 1: or lose the trade? I'm gonna say it straight out.
Speaker 1: Best player in the deal is Ellie. You got the
Speaker 1: best player in the deal. You got a guy who
Speaker 1: could potentially be the one one in fantasy. I think
Speaker 1: you're the winner, what say you, Welsh? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean, let's also be honest here. You traded Josh Young,
Speaker 2: Matt McLean and Jazz for Ellie. You didn't trade for Harrison,
Speaker 2: Bader or CJ. So just guys, I gotta tell you,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I love it, I don't I
Speaker 2: get the deal.
Speaker 1: No, man, the pitch was awful high day, Like even
Speaker 1: if I would have said I liked it the Tony
Speaker 1: Romo for a second, there, you traded.
Speaker 2: You traded three good Dynasty pieces for one incredible piece.
Speaker 2: It could be incredible piece, though, I'd point out, you know,
Speaker 2: since the All Star break, he's hitting under one hundred.
Speaker 2: The strikeouts are going through the roof, but he is
Speaker 2: like the most prolific stolen base guy since he's been up.
Speaker 2: I think you can stomach this, but I don't love
Speaker 2: it like you might think someone would love you getting Ellie.
Speaker 2: It's hard to get Ellie in trades. But unfortunately you
Speaker 2: paid the high cost of what an Ellie would cost you.
Speaker 3: In a Dynasty league, the price. I just wish he
Speaker 3: didn't trade all three of those guys.
Speaker 2: If you would have said any combo of two of
Speaker 2: them and another little piece, I might have been like, okay,
Speaker 2: Or if you got something else besides Ellie.
Speaker 1: I'll look at it this way. Josh Young's a very
Speaker 1: good player. I think he's gonna be a good player
Speaker 1: for a long time. I don't know if Josh Young
Speaker 1: develops into a transcendent player. Matt McClain was a player
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of us really didn't even
Speaker 1: have a beat on going into this year, and he's
Speaker 1: been very good. But again, sometimes those guys fizzle out
Speaker 1: because the leagues are so just to them, and then
Speaker 1: we know why we haven't heard of them. He wasn't
Speaker 1: even the number two or three guy in their prospect pipeline.
Speaker 1: Not that it's not a knock. I mean he could
Speaker 1: be great, But and then you got Jazz Chisholm, who
Speaker 1: feels like this annual tease if you will, of the
Speaker 1: guy that always could be really good, but he's never
Speaker 1: healthy and there's all these other things and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: It's frustrating. I want the opportunity to get Ellie to
Speaker 1: other crew Richie. I would have felt better if you
Speaker 1: got maybe one other guy back, like you got Max
Speaker 1: meyerbacking this deal off Tommy John or some other piece
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, because j Abrams, you know, young guy
Speaker 2: who's still don't know what you want to I think
Speaker 2: that's enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe you don't like bait.
Speaker 1: Major baiter is not really a piece you're super excited
Speaker 1: about either, so uh, but that's the thing. Maybe you
Speaker 1: kind of got one more guy back, but you got Ellie,
Speaker 1: And I still think for guarding.
Speaker 3: This a B like it's a beat.
Speaker 2: Like a B to me is like, all right, you
Speaker 2: find you got your guy that you know anything under
Speaker 2: a C or maybe this is like a C plus
Speaker 2: or something like that. You got a passing grade. You're fine,
Speaker 2: but I don't personally love it because you paid the
Speaker 2: high high price.
Speaker 1: My friend go Go Cards agrees with you for whatever.
Speaker 1: Thank you. All right, let's get to the headlines here
Speaker 1: at the top of the show, and let's talk about
Speaker 1: George Kirby season high match of the ten K seven
Speaker 1: shoutout innings on Thursday, gets a w over the Twinkies,
Speaker 1: a three twenty three era one point zero four whip.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. One hundred and nineteen innings, one hundred and
Speaker 1: three k's just eleven walks. What an incredible run for
Speaker 1: George Kirby. You know, I know so much. We talked
Speaker 1: earlier in the year because Kirby and Gilbert were going
Speaker 1: back to back at ADP. Now we're sitting here at
Speaker 1: the end of July. I both have had good seasons,
Speaker 1: but clearly I think Kirby, you would argue, yes, is
Speaker 1: the better of the two. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean this was like preseason.
Speaker 2: It was all about the Kirby life in season, with
Speaker 2: how passive he got about strikeouts. I kind of wanted
Speaker 2: to get out from under it. Even though he had
Speaker 2: great results, He's just been more aggressive. I actually was
Speaker 2: talking about this last time on CBS. The one thing
Speaker 2: I was really impressed with in this game. I was
Speaker 2: looking at the three D pitch model of how he
Speaker 2: was pitching. He had I believe it was five total fastballs,
Speaker 2: that's it, that were under the bottom half of the zone.
Speaker 2: So picture of the zone as your rectangle, and only
Speaker 2: five fastballs hit the bottom half of it. Everything else
Speaker 2: was fastball up top, and then he was just dropping
Speaker 2: sliders in on the bottom half. So he just had
Speaker 2: this control of the zone. You think about, you know,
Speaker 2: fastballs coming in and if he's got good break on
Speaker 2: the slider coming in and then it falls down, it's
Speaker 2: just I think that's like an aggressive move. I think
Speaker 2: that has shown a little bit more of the aggression
Speaker 2: from a really really good command picture that I want
Speaker 2: to be more aggressive, and he wasn't doing any of
Speaker 2: that in the first half.
Speaker 3: He is now this is twins.
Speaker 2: But I'm optimistic that Kirby is starting to show those
Speaker 2: signs to move forward because he has all.
Speaker 3: The great pieces of a.
Speaker 2: Great picture with that command. So, yes, all about the
Speaker 2: Kirby the rest.
Speaker 1: Of the year. Yeah, Curby's are very good. I know
Speaker 1: you were very much on the Kirby side of this.
Speaker 1: I was on the Kurby side, not as heavily as
Speaker 1: you were, but you were definitely team Kirby all the way.
Speaker 1: Is it just me here every time we talk about him,
Speaker 1: I just pictured that little pink guy from Nintendo I
Speaker 1: just always do. I can't shove the little Kirby. You know,
Speaker 1: he's so adorable. He's played Kirby with my kids. He's
Speaker 1: so cute. We all played the Kirby together. It was
Speaker 1: good times. They're getting old now they don't want to
Speaker 1: play Kirby anymore. Jose Kintana allowed two runs over five
Speaker 1: innings Thursday in the loss of the White Sox. But
Speaker 1: good for Katama to get back on the mountain his
Speaker 1: first first innings of twenty twenty three, and we got
Speaker 1: him in July, so there you go. Corbyn Burns he
Speaker 1: was really good. So there's gonna be a lot of
Speaker 1: good pictures we're gonna talk about here at the top.
Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns great eight innings, two hits, ten K's Tyler
Speaker 1: Glass now three runs, but a really good day for him.
Speaker 1: Nine strikeouts for him, no walks. He's got a three
Speaker 1: six two era. We were talking a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago about that glass now era, there's an opportunity here.
Speaker 1: It was above four. It's like, look trade for this guy. Now.
Speaker 1: He always gonna start to come downs. He starts to,
Speaker 1: you know, ramp up again and when you know it,
Speaker 1: it has eighty strikeouts to eighteen walks over fifty four innings.
Speaker 1: The guy's a strikeout machine. Spencer Streider. That's the guy
Speaker 1: I should have been investing in. Yesterday. He got to
Speaker 1: double digit strikeouts. He got the thirteen. I don't care
Speaker 1: about the wins and no decisions and the losses. He
Speaker 1: got the thirteen strikeouts and six innings. Blake Snell, on
Speaker 1: the other hand, he did something historic for himself. You know,
Speaker 1: Blake Snell did Welsh. He set a career high match
Speaker 1: and walks yesterday.
Speaker 3: You should have done the ladder for walks and.
Speaker 1: Then the ladder for the walks. So boo on you,
Speaker 1: Blake Snell. I knew this was gonna happen the minute
Speaker 1: I said, okay, it's safe to go out and Blake
Speaker 1: Snell for me in the betting world, I mean, I
Speaker 1: have a little bit here and there, and it's worked.
Speaker 1: And that's why I I flew too close to the
Speaker 1: sun Welsh. It's like Icarus, you know, just a little yeah,
Speaker 1: too close there, and it burned me. But we're gonna
Speaker 1: make it back today.
Speaker 3: So he was another guy.
Speaker 2: By the way, I looked at the three D modeling
Speaker 2: and the thing that's nice about is though color code
Speaker 2: the pitches. He was like every pitch was clumped in
Speaker 2: its own area.
Speaker 3: There was no diversity as far as the strike.
Speaker 2: Zone, well outside of the strike but inside the strike
Speaker 2: zone two it was like, this is where this goes,
Speaker 2: this is where this goes. He it seemed very telling
Speaker 2: of what was going on with him outside of like
Speaker 2: just the really poor command. So you hope it's a blip.
Speaker 3: But this is why Blake Snell is scary mine.
Speaker 1: I had a Genie Alfredo who I've never seen the
Speaker 1: chat but love his work. Uh started this Schrider side
Speaker 1: of that man. Because the five y area for Gallon
Speaker 1: is rough on the road. Yeah, you know, that's the
Speaker 1: thing I keep going back to when people ask me
Speaker 1: Strider a Gallon for so young, I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: I think this when you start to look deeper into them.
Speaker 1: Besides that bad run, this Strider had a couple starts.
Speaker 1: The inconsistency of the splits for Gallon, I think I
Speaker 1: hurt him at the end of the days. As good
Speaker 1: of a story they've been, you know, I think Strider
Speaker 1: should have got the rook of the Year last year.
Speaker 1: And I'm starting to feel like they're going to, you know,
Speaker 1: make right by him this year by giving him that award.
Speaker 1: I think it would not shock me whatsoever.
Speaker 2: Gallon was five, he was five perfect innings and then
Speaker 2: it both of these guys blew up in like the
Speaker 2: fifth or six or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did, they did, But I still I'm still
Speaker 1: Strider over Gallon no matter what Monceys showy Otani is
Speaker 1: going to start today for the against the Pirates, for
Speaker 1: the Angels. So people worrying about the blister some interesting
Speaker 1: stuff there too, like how healthy is he with the
Speaker 1: blister thing. I feel like that's going to go one
Speaker 1: or two ways. Either it's going to be a very
Speaker 1: managed start, which is kind of the way I'm leaning
Speaker 1: in the betting market for Otani today, where you're just managing,
Speaker 1: you're just showing everybody can go out there a little bit.
Speaker 1: Blister's okay, everything's fine, everything's fine. We're all like Han
Speaker 1: Solo and New Hope. Everything's fine. We're all fine here.
Speaker 1: How are you show he's fine or he's gonna go
Speaker 1: out there and drop, you know, seventeen strikeouts against the
Speaker 1: Pirates and it's gonna be that night. Like it's one
Speaker 1: of those two.
Speaker 3: It might be a little bit of the ladder.
Speaker 2: There might be the ladder there, because I mean, Pittsburgh
Speaker 2: over the last three games is striking out double digits
Speaker 2: ten a game on the season. They've held it, but
Speaker 2: they're they're a little bit on the on their heels
Speaker 2: right now. And I don't know, man, I think I
Speaker 2: hate those Otani games where you're like, Okay, this is
Speaker 2: a great matchup, and then he comes out and he
Speaker 2: walks three through the first two.
Speaker 1: Innings, you know what I mean, Like he's inefficient and
Speaker 1: the blister pops up. I think there's a lot of
Speaker 1: outs I have on the under of the strikeout prop today.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a second. Okay, because of
Speaker 1: the blister, because of the weather, the blister, the whole
Speaker 1: the whole thing, the managing of Showey Otani at this
Speaker 1: point wherever they are. Let's get to the rookie. Lookie,
Speaker 1: Colton Kowser got a go ahead RBI and also got
Speaker 1: a hit in this game, stopping an over fifteen spells.
Speaker 1: So good on you, Colton Kowser. I want to I mean,
Speaker 1: doesn't that sound like a name of somebody who is
Speaker 1: on Gray's Anatomy or something? Right? He plays a doctor
Speaker 1: Colton Kowser from Gray's Anatomy. Everybody Colton Kowser and everyone
Speaker 1: goes yay.
Speaker 3: I never watched Grazy neither.
Speaker 1: That show was on for like twenty seven years. Though,
Speaker 1: I feel like, how many seasons over under seasons of
Speaker 1: Gray's Anatomy. I'm gonna say thirteen.
Speaker 3: Didn't they have spinoffs? Didn'ty have like any spell?
Speaker 1: I think they did. Now I got a Google list.
Speaker 2: It's definitely in syndications, so it's got to be over ten.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go I'm gonna go fifteen years on
Speaker 2: Gray's Anatomy.
Speaker 3: I think I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: Somebody in the chat let us know, because you're not
Speaker 1: doing anything, you're just watching the show. Let us know
Speaker 1: how many seasons of Gray's Anatomy there's been. I say thirteen.
Speaker 1: Welsh has fifteen. JP says way over maybe the twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Originally I said it was closer. The Mets are gonna
Speaker 1: recall Mark Viento's from Triple A. We don't know how
Speaker 1: much is gonna play. Starling Marte has been dealing with
Speaker 1: headaches and migraines, so he's going on the il Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, Marte is such a frustrating piece because he's
Speaker 1: such a fun, exciting player. What he's healthy and he's
Speaker 1: on and he's so fun to watch. But he's just
Speaker 1: one of these guys just again, he's the games play
Speaker 1: just always never seem to add up the way you
Speaker 1: want them to. Uh. Ronnie Mauricio hit a ball that
Speaker 1: hasn't landed though, By the way.
Speaker 2: This is why, this is why I'm like hyper focused
Speaker 2: on those guys right now.
Speaker 1: Man, I'd be adding him right now, by the way,
Speaker 1: I am adding Ronnie Mauricio now this week wherever I can,
Speaker 1: because Mark Conna's gonna get traded a lot of teams
Speaker 1: like Marcana, he might get traded. Well, FAM just went on.
Speaker 1: The FAM is hurt too. By the way, the answer
Speaker 1: nineteen way to go, Michael, nineteen season.
Speaker 3: Is the years. I think I have the answer the answer.
Speaker 1: I was just about it, like Bones was another show
Speaker 1: that was on for like fifteen seasons. Like at the
Speaker 1: final year of Bones, after fifty I'm like, who's watching
Speaker 1: these things?
Speaker 2: I was about to say, what, what is the longest
Speaker 2: running show? But it's got it's the Simpsons, right because
Speaker 2: they're like.
Speaker 1: Live will be above the Simpsons because they've been going
Speaker 1: one since the seventies.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I guess I was thinking like syndicated. Yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 2: So second.
Speaker 1: Not a sitcom per se, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like its own kind of thing.
Speaker 2: They're both and they both kind of almost what qualifies
Speaker 2: in the real sitcommy type of thing like Simpsons is animated, uh,
Speaker 2: saturnata variety show? What is the like Gray's Anatomy Office whatever?
Speaker 2: What show has run the longest? Do we someone find
Speaker 2: that out? Now?
Speaker 1: Go to your work it coms and things?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like not like.
Speaker 1: Aound round ten twelve years at the most, like Seinfeld
Speaker 1: was nine Big Bang Theory. I think got to eleven
Speaker 1: or twelve even like they pushed the limit.
Speaker 3: Because it might be Gray's Anatomy and I think it
Speaker 3: was ten. That might be, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And in terms of drama, it might well be because
Speaker 1: Law and Order it was probably around for freaking ever too,
Speaker 1: seven years in Law and Order. So you like the regular,
Speaker 1: you like the you know, the the SVU, you like
Speaker 1: that one. You like I got a Hot Dogs Dan
Speaker 1: Law and Order? You like that one. Don't worry, We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to Andrew Abbit. He's on the list today injuries,
Speaker 1: let's fly through these. Max freed schedule for rehabs start
Speaker 1: yesterday was postponem due to rain, so fucks will kind
Speaker 1: of hope for a better situation today. Your nolvres scheduled
Speaker 1: to play in a minor league game today and all weekend,
Speaker 1: So yay Alvarez returning soon. Tommy Fanm's gonna undero additional
Speaker 1: testing at being removed from Wednesday's game. Now if he
Speaker 1: goes on the IL and Marte's on the IL, Vientos
Speaker 1: won't be enough. Potentially then you might see Mauricio and
Speaker 1: Acna trade. Like, keep an eye ad Mauricio. Now, Tommy
Speaker 1: Edmund scheduled for live batting practice next week. That's a
Speaker 1: guy that I think could help some teams too, flexibility.
Speaker 1: I could see the Cardinals putting Tommy Edmond into trade
Speaker 1: to somebody.
Speaker 2: Well they've got Mason Win. You know that One of
Speaker 2: the things I'm probably gonna do this next week on
Speaker 2: the videos that we do, we're kind of we're down
Speaker 2: to one and it's going to be a hyper focus
Speaker 2: into the rest of the year. But the when you
Speaker 2: look at like players that are going to benefit from trades.
Speaker 2: If they were to trade, I mean they got Paul
Speaker 2: de Young, who can get the hell out of there.
Speaker 2: And if they trade Edmond Mason Win, say again, but
Speaker 2: by Mason Win is one of those players, you know,
Speaker 2: guy huge arm he can run former pitcher who's on
Speaker 2: their infield. Like the Cardinals have flexibility really at every
Speaker 2: offensive position to move guys and they can come up.
Speaker 2: So it's guys like Ronnie Mauricio, Matt Murvis, Mason Win,
Speaker 2: Pete Crow Armstrong.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see Peak Crow arms Strong. I'd like
Speaker 1: to see Nervis get another shot, you know, I think
Speaker 1: that would be fun before the end of season, would
Speaker 1: give us a much better feel for him next year.
Speaker 3: If Beers gone, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And look, Bellinger's another piece too. That could help a
Speaker 1: lot of teams. By the way, Larry, I agree one
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I wish Last Kingdom went nineteen seasons. But
Speaker 1: you know what, Last Kingdom start to finish perfection. They
Speaker 1: didn't stay at the dance too long. Oh Welsh, it's
Speaker 1: so good it is.
Speaker 3: It is the best the show. I'm kind of showless
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 1: Well, just finished season three of The Great which was terrific,
Speaker 1: The what the Great with and rape No grapes are fine.
Speaker 1: The Great is outstanding on Hulu five stars. Hilarious, witty,
Speaker 1: dirty as hell, hysterical. Go watch The Great, but Glass Kingdom,
Speaker 1: brilliant show, better than Game of Thrones start to finish
Speaker 1: And I'm a big Thrones nerd, and I still don't
Speaker 1: care that the like, the ending is exactly what I
Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be for the most part, Like
Speaker 1: everyone's still up in arms about that last Kingdom start
Speaker 1: to finish more, How would I put this? You had
Speaker 1: never felt that was a lull. Everything was good the
Speaker 1: whole time. It ended the way you wanted. You're like,
Speaker 1: this is great, good times. That's right, Larry knows what
Speaker 1: he's talking about. History where Weez remains without an official
Speaker 1: timetable yet Mason Miller is gonna throw a bullpen session
Speaker 1: on Saturday, so keep your fingers crossed. Mason Miller managers
Speaker 1: Ryan nota of the A's went to the IL so
Speaker 1: a lot of issues there. Fracture jaw Yankees put Josh
Speaker 1: Donaldson on the sixty day IL he gone, so no
Speaker 1: one Aronatto time in New York Perhaps Brandon Woodruff schedule
Speaker 1: take a minor league start on Saturday.
Speaker 3: And then one closer to Woodrofe one edition as well.
Speaker 2: I went out to the airson A Complex League last
Speaker 2: night because I.
Speaker 1: Was under eldeen degree weather.
Speaker 3: It was so hot. I was sold. MARYL. Kelly was
Speaker 3: supposed to be pitching.
Speaker 2: He was nowhere to be found, and there were multiple
Speaker 2: reporters that were there, and I think everyone assumed he
Speaker 2: was there, nowhere to be found. I'm thinking he's going
Speaker 2: to pitch tonight, and I think I'm gonna try to
Speaker 2: go down there just he you know, they're they're trying
Speaker 2: to build him back up to potentially come back on
Speaker 2: Wednesday would be the earliest he can. Just something to
Speaker 2: watch for Meryll Tuesday. Wednesday was the shot. Did not
Speaker 2: pitch last night, Maybe he'll pitch tonight in Complex, which
Speaker 2: would set him up to start next Wednesday against the Cards.
Speaker 1: Cousin Donnie said, you were melting yesterday watching that game.
Speaker 1: It's very possible.
Speaker 3: It is like melting going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so I'm going to with a nut one.
Speaker 1: He didn't make the injury list because I put him
Speaker 1: in Joe's Tough Guys and it's Jared Kelnick actually Jared
Speaker 1: Kellick didn't make it. The water Cooler made Joe's tough guys.
Speaker 1: It was stained a very very strong kick from Jared Kelnick.
Speaker 1: So I want to give some shout out love to
Speaker 1: the water cooler. Jared Kelnick going on the ten dil
Speaker 1: fractured his foot being frustrated, and now he is probably
Speaker 1: done for the year.
Speaker 3: It looks like did you watch the video though, it's
Speaker 3: a pretty.
Speaker 1: Of him being upset. You mean, yeah, he was.
Speaker 3: Super upset and he was really trite. Yeah, and he took.
Speaker 2: Blame for it and stuff. It's definitely that stupid. We
Speaker 2: get those videos all the time. Who is it so
Speaker 2: Conley with the Yankees, who's like throwing stuff and kicking
Speaker 2: the fan, And it's like these guys are doing this
Speaker 2: all the time, and this is what happens, like especially
Speaker 2: just kicking a uh like what was it a juggle?
Speaker 1: What? Like?
Speaker 3: Don't do that?
Speaker 2: Like that's crazy. Take your bat and beat everything around you.
Speaker 2: Don't use your foot in your hand. Lesson learned well, lessen.
Speaker 1: The hard way. So another piece now too, where I
Speaker 1: keep coming back to Gail Seattle. I told you see
Speaker 1: Wall goes and throws another you know, good night, Didnig
Speaker 1: fum Seattle. That's a piece that's expendable to me in
Speaker 1: the future and maybe the present, and he can help somebody.
Speaker 2: I still think they're buying. I said this on CB
Speaker 2: this last night, Tyler O'Neill. I think Tyler O'Neill is
Speaker 2: returning to the Mariners.
Speaker 1: All right, three up and three down. Matt Olson thirty
Speaker 1: first and thirty second home run last night. Yeah, baby,
Speaker 1: Christian Yelich three for four of the three on bomb
Speaker 1: himself against the Phillies. And Andrew Abbott was good yet again,
Speaker 1: eight scoreless. Holy crap, Welsh. You want to talk about
Speaker 1: somebody that I don't think any of us had on
Speaker 1: our radars for twenty twenty three being this Andrew Abbott
Speaker 1: might be that guy where we look up and go
Speaker 1: if you pick this guy up the waiver wire, chances
Speaker 1: are you did it for almost nothing. And what an
Speaker 1: incredible like he is League winner Andrew Abbott at this
Speaker 1: point in my book.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, he's a definite anomaly. What he's doing expected
Speaker 2: to erraise a little bit higher. Fastball is average.
Speaker 3: Meaning you know, have gone on about him like Ano is.
Speaker 2: Dicey about him because the fastball has such bad stuff
Speaker 2: plus ratings. The second theories are good. I think this
Speaker 2: is built around command. I think release points are similar,
Speaker 2: and the pitch mix just seems to be working. He's
Speaker 2: playing up across the board to his stats, and I
Speaker 2: think he's very hard to figure out. I do think
Speaker 2: hard to figure out players tend to not continue that insanity.
Speaker 2: But either way, like, we're going to see who he
Speaker 2: is through the rest of the year. And like your point,
Speaker 2: I got him in multiple leagues. I've drafted him, picked
Speaker 2: him up, then I drafted him in one. I've picked
Speaker 2: him up in two others, and he's been a godsend.
Speaker 2: He helped me win that first half roto league that
Speaker 2: I did for sure, and then I redrafted him for
Speaker 2: the head to head. So you just keep running Andrew
Speaker 2: Rabbit out there. But like I said, watch for the
Speaker 2: signs to start to turn in a not good direction.
Speaker 3: But they're not.
Speaker 1: That's the crazy thing. Ozark was fantastic, by the way. Everyone, Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: we saw Ozark the other one too. I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: watching The Bear because I hear The Bear is great.
Speaker 1: They just finished the second season. But you want to
Speaker 1: watch something funny. Yeah, he's like a chef and then
Speaker 1: what we do in the shadows is hilarious. If you're
Speaker 1: looking for you know what.
Speaker 2: You've been saying that for a while, and I haven't watched.
Speaker 2: I need a good drama. I need a comedy and drama.
Speaker 1: Session is great. Succession is great.
Speaker 2: But see, I've seen most of the stuff. That's the problem,
Speaker 2: you guys are. I haven't seen The Kingdom. I've seen
Speaker 2: like all these.
Speaker 1: Last Kingdom is great. Watch the great, Watch Last Kingdom.
Speaker 1: I think you'll be very happy. I'm telling it.
Speaker 3: Grapes the Purple or grapes neither.
Speaker 1: I don't like any grapes. I love wine. Now I
Speaker 1: don't like I'm not grapes. I don't like squishy foods.
Speaker 1: Bogman knows this. Bog Boggan knows like, I don't like
Speaker 1: gummy bears. We had this discussion on the show, you
Speaker 1: don't like squishy food I was like, something came up.
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't like gummy bears, and then
Speaker 1: something came up with something else is I don't like that,
Speaker 1: and goes you don't like squishy foods, and I went,
Speaker 1: you know what, You're.
Speaker 3: Right, I don't like sour patch kids.
Speaker 1: No oh god no. My kids made me eat one
Speaker 1: once and I almost threw up. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I can't do this.
Speaker 3: So consistency of squishy foods.
Speaker 1: Squishy foods, whether like I don't like berries, just typically speaking.
Speaker 3: I see I love all these things. I love squishy foods.
Speaker 1: Nope, nope, those squishy foods everything. This is why we're
Speaker 1: here at the show. Marcus Stroman charged with five runs,
Speaker 1: four earned. These are the downs from yesterday. Obviously, Zach
Speaker 1: GREANKI went to one in tent on the year you
Speaker 1: gotta get you know? Is that great? You should have
Speaker 1: been in Joe's Tough Guys. Like that guy's going out
Speaker 1: there and just losing games. He's like, hey, I'm cashing.
Speaker 3: Paychecks, having fun. Paying for his question and uh wells.
Speaker 1: Byron Buxton zero for four with another pair of strikeouts Thursday.
Speaker 1: He has gone hitless in twenty eight consecutive played appearances.
Speaker 1: Going back. He has had a hit since July eighth.
Speaker 1: He is over twenty five with fifteen strikeouts during that span.
Speaker 2: Welsh, your thoughts, Yeah, we're done. I mean we're done
Speaker 2: with the buston stuff.
Speaker 1: It's should the twins be done?
Speaker 2: It feels like the twins should be done like no,
Speaker 2: I mean, they're what they're doing. They're doing what they're
Speaker 2: doing right now. You know, the positives are in spite
Speaker 2: of the two biggest contracted players kind of being oofs
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 3: You know, Buxton is.
Speaker 2: The biggest oof and Correa has been kind of ant
Speaker 2: because Julian is up, kiro Lov has been great. They
Speaker 2: still have Polonco coming back. So I just don't think
Speaker 2: you make a big concerted move. And also I think
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna fall into it. Next year, Buckston is
Speaker 2: going to be dirt cheap. I think he was healthy
Speaker 2: at all this year, couldn't play the outfield. Once he's
Speaker 2: healthy again, it'll be tough to not fall into a
Speaker 2: super super dirt cheap Iron Buxton.
Speaker 3: But this year I'm umber it.
Speaker 1: I love our peanuts and cracker jags. The chat is
Speaker 1: so funny today, Like you guys, they're having a fun
Speaker 1: Friday even without us. So Feti Gini Alfrido says the
Speaker 1: Bear's fantastic, and Dan g goes cocaine Bear's pinoff maybe
Speaker 1: gets me interested. Well, if you've ever been in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of cocaine going around there. Too possibly,
Speaker 1: So get bear in the same thing. You know, I've
Speaker 1: worked around a lot of kitchens. I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of things. You know what else I've seen? It's great.

Speaker 2: All right, So here's what I have got today for you,
Speaker 2: Corbyn Carol to score a run Luisa Rise Fantasy Square,
Speaker 2: a couple singles, that's what he does. Colorado love that matchup,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go with the Otani strikeout over Joe.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the good Otani today, just bing
Speaker 2: bang boom. Pirates going down left and right. It's Pirates
Speaker 2: of the Caribbean. They're all falling down. And so thanks
Speaker 2: to Otani. That is my score here for uh.
Speaker 1: Price Picks Pirates of the Caribbean code I is saying
Speaker 1: six pitcher strikeouts against Boston over he's been really good lately.
Speaker 1: Fernando tatists one and a half town bases against the
Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers at games at six forties. Just so you know,
Speaker 1: don't wait over on the one and a half, and
Speaker 1: I'm Corbin Carroll over on the one and a half
Speaker 1: total basis, So look at us, Corbyn Carroll all the
Speaker 1: way today. I'm gonna keep it simple here, six and
Speaker 1: a half strikeouts for Braxton Garrett over against the Rockies,
Speaker 1: plus one sixteen. Gonna go the under on the showy
Speaker 1: Otani seven and a half. It's a good enough number
Speaker 1: under all these weird circumstances, and I think people are
Speaker 1: gonna be very tempted to go with the over, and
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to go against the math here
Speaker 1: a little bit of plus one ten. If you put
Speaker 1: both of these things together, by the way, with the
Speaker 1: probable lock of the Houston Astros and fran Berveldez beating
Speaker 1: the A's, you're gonna get five to one in a parlay.
Speaker 3: So just put that out and stay the parlay again.
Speaker 1: Braxton Garrett six and a half over Otani seven and
Speaker 1: a half. Under Astro's money line plus five hundred, you
Speaker 1: get that's pretty sweet. I mean, the one is a gimme.
Speaker 1: So basically, I think I got two things that are
Speaker 1: gimme's here and then the Otani wild Card, and if
Speaker 1: I get that, it's gonna be a good day and
Speaker 1: I make back all my blakes Now money that I lost.
Speaker 1: And I'm still I mean, Blake Snell is just always
Speaker 1: gonna be that guy for me. Well, she's my kryptonite.
Speaker 1: There's nothing I can do about it. You're betting pieces
Speaker 1: for the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: By the way, yesterday was all right, two and one.
Speaker 3: If you guys did play it.
Speaker 2: We hit the Hits parlay and the Seattle first five
Speaker 2: money line played, So both of those are really great.
Speaker 2: Just throwing that out there today, I am going with
Speaker 2: another money line to the first five, the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: They are actually plus money on it because Tommy Henry's
Speaker 2: on the mountain. You can get minus one thirty if
Speaker 2: you want to get half of a run, so if
Speaker 2: the team were tied, then you would win. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: just take the money line up against the Red It's
Speaker 2: been lively. He's been pretty good, but Diamondbacks are hot.
Speaker 2: So Arizona money line through the first five innings. I'm
Speaker 2: taking the this might.
Speaker 3: Be a weird one.
Speaker 2: Texas Dodgers three and a half runs through the first
Speaker 2: three innings under Tony Gonslin and Andrew Heeney going through
Speaker 2: the first lineup, and then we'll just throw it back
Speaker 2: out here a tiny strikeouts seven and a half over.
