Speaker 1: best when you use the promo code leading Off. It's
Speaker 1: me Joey P. That's the Welsh and all the Penis
Speaker 1: and the Crackerjacks have been in the chat since I
Speaker 1: don't know, since what six this morning. There's so many
Speaker 1: comments in this chat before he even turned to look
Speaker 1: to start the live show.
Speaker 2: Are we giving away fifty dollars TVs? What is his
Speaker 2: back credit?
Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on here.
Speaker 1: It's Monday too. You think it wouldn't be like this
Speaker 1: and they're all just like talking amongst themselves. I love it.
Speaker 1: I love this, but seriously, there's like forty comments before
Speaker 1: we even got into the show today. People talking about trades,
Speaker 1: people talking about NBA playoffs, all kinds of stuff. Welsh,
Speaker 1: I hope you had a good weekend. I know Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge had a good weekend. He had a couple of
Speaker 1: home runs, one of which was annoyingly Yankee Stadium, wasn't
Speaker 1: it where he just kind of flicked a fly ball
Speaker 1: out to right field. It Oops, it's a home run.
Speaker 1: Who knew?
Speaker 2: Who'd have thought Judge would get things right? That's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I know you hate you hate the Yankees ballpark too.
Speaker 2: You're super like I do. You're always pissy about that ballpark.
Speaker 2: So but I mean, you know, this is what the
Speaker 2: guy like Judge can do in that ballpark, things getting right.
Speaker 2: You getting home run, calls me. Not the sky is blue.
Speaker 2: That's been the season. No homers for me, all the
Speaker 2: homers for you. This guy is blue. But I'm excited
Speaker 2: to talk about a few things.
Speaker 1: Yes, I am. I am excited. I mean, look, everybody's
Speaker 1: demanding it, so it is in the headlines. So maybe
Speaker 1: we should just move it up to number one. Let's
Speaker 1: just talk about Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 2: Talk about producer mad We get the clip from two
Speaker 2: weeks ago? Can we get the Joe clip? I wish
Speaker 2: we had the Joe clip where Joe yelled at you guys,
Speaker 2: Joe chastised anybody who questioned, shamed you. Did I know?
Speaker 2: I brought I brought forth a good guy. I'm the
Speaker 2: the baby face here literally with the shape. I brought
Speaker 2: forth the read Garrett. And you know what piece of
Speaker 2: PA did to it DDT boom, Right.
Speaker 1: I did. I did a hard DDT on the outside
Speaker 1: on the apron, the hardest part of the ring in
Speaker 1: case you never heard that before. Uh but listen, you're
Speaker 1: gonna hate this because I'm gonna bring the sequel. I'm
Speaker 1: still not worried. I'm buying everywhere. This guy didn't pitch
Speaker 1: last year? Can we all? Can we just stop for
Speaker 1: a second and realize the guy didn't pitch last year.
Speaker 1: Whatever's going on, it's freaking May. He's a bad patch
Speaker 1: in May. They have too much money invested in this guy.
Speaker 1: If you think he's gonna become the setup guy for
Speaker 1: Read Garrett the rest of the year, you're nuts. You're
Speaker 1: you're high, you're smoking something, and I want to join you.
Speaker 2: Carried off a couple things for real quick seven to
Speaker 2: forty one percent K percentage, one point six nine expected
Speaker 2: era zero zero barrels on the season, and an under
Speaker 2: thirty percent hard hit rate. Those are Read Garrett numbers.
Speaker 2: They'll sell again.
Speaker 1: What was he like? A thirty one year old journeyman
Speaker 1: who was pitching in Japan a couple of years ago. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's gonna be to turn around the century.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that's the thing I'm gonna believe in
Speaker 1: instead of what my eyes have seen with Edwin Diaz
Speaker 1: for the last five years until he got hurt. Come on,
Speaker 1: stop it now. I'm not saying to start Edwin Diaz
Speaker 1: this week. In fact, I will advise you on sitting him.
Speaker 1: It would also advise if you don't have him, to
Speaker 1: go trade for him. This is your loan opportunity to
Speaker 1: get an elite level closer on the cheap. Just like
Speaker 1: Josh Hater a couple of weeks ago we talked about it.
Speaker 1: I'm doubling down here with Edwin Diaz. Hater got right.
Speaker 1: Diaz will get right eventually. And in the meantime, if
Speaker 1: Garrett's available, sure pick him up. And if you don't
Speaker 1: have Daz and he needs some saves, sure pick him up.
Speaker 1: By the time we get to June fifteenth, this whole
Speaker 1: story will be a distant memory. Yeah, I'm doubling down.
Speaker 1: What do you think of that?
Speaker 2: Well, sh I mean, listen, I do I think that
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz is not going to save any games rest
Speaker 2: of this year? No, I'm not dumb, but is there
Speaker 2: is there some bad juju going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: He was a crying in the dugout about this situation.
Speaker 1: Well, at least he cares. It's better than Anthony Rendone
Speaker 1: who doesn't care at all, where he's like.
Speaker 2: Whatever, here's that's what I think. You can also look
Speaker 2: at the situation as it could end up being kind
Speaker 2: of a fireman situation where they start putting guys in
Speaker 2: different leverage situations. Edwin kind of gets himself right, but
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean they would want to press days you
Speaker 2: Maybe with this inconsistency, you don't want to have, you know,
Speaker 2: day after day after day. So read Garrett starts getting saves.
Speaker 2: I think there's a possibility that Edwin Diaz it's a
Speaker 2: lot harder for him to even come close to the
Speaker 2: preseason value, which in turn is a top five closer.
Speaker 2: I think there is a real possibility he can regain
Speaker 2: this and still not be a top ten closer because
Speaker 2: of how good read Garrett is. But but if like
Speaker 2: a trade from on the cheap, absolutely it's kind of
Speaker 2: a good These are classic close. This is the closer
Speaker 2: situation that you buy on an established guy who's been
Speaker 2: knocked off the roll for a little bit, go and
Speaker 2: buy on the dirt dirt cheap if you can, but
Speaker 2: read Garrett's no slouch.
Speaker 1: I want to remind you. I want to remind the Peanuts.
Speaker 1: I want to remind the cracker Jacks.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be good.
Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz last year signed the larges reliever contract in
Speaker 1: the history of baseball, one hundred and two million dollars
Speaker 1: to throw one inning a few times a week.
Speaker 3: He's gonna get this job back, folks. He's gonna get
Speaker 3: this job back.
Speaker 1: Just saying. I'm just saying, so, let's get this some
Speaker 1: more headlines besides Harry Judge and Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 2: I'm on all these clips. Somebody all these give me
Speaker 2: all these clips in like June fifteenth, Let's come back.
Speaker 2: The Joe just absolutely working the mic and just killing everybody.
Speaker 2: He's gonna get back.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Stay the course, Stay the course. Look
Speaker 1: the ree garretting is fun. I love his beard, I
Speaker 1: love the intensity. It's a good it's a feel good story.
Speaker 1: Edwin dis Okay, are.
Speaker 2: You jolted when I shaved by the way Like.
Speaker 1: It takes me a second, but it's so weird.
Speaker 2: Someone in the chat they always say this, I don't
Speaker 2: see it, but they're like, hey, years off. My wife
Speaker 2: says it, that's why she hates the beard. That I
Speaker 2: look exponentially younger when I shave, and I'm like, younger
Speaker 2: is not the worst.
Speaker 3: So she's looking for a younger man, is what she's saying.
Speaker 2: Oh, I got a lot of gray going on here.
Speaker 1: So you sometimes the littleman like they find the older
Speaker 1: men more handsome.
Speaker 2: Well, see, then I can be like two different people.
Speaker 2: I'm shaved version.
Speaker 3: But she never likes your beard. You always say she
Speaker 3: never likes your beard.
Speaker 2: Now she's had some scruff, a little bit of scruff.
Speaker 1: Jerry's on my side. Thank you, Jerry, Thank you, Jerry.
Speaker 1: Go out there, go get yourself.
Speaker 2: Some not on your side.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's I think he's I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: crying in my locker when start saving games all over,
Speaker 1: crying tears of joy. Let's get to some aces. Over
Speaker 1: the weekend, Welsh Choutteo im and Auga seven shutout innings,
Speaker 1: seven strikeouts, no decision, but still pretty amazing. By the
Speaker 1: way Paul Skins also turned out. It was quite a performance.
Speaker 1: Seven straight strikeouts there for him eleven, So I guess
Speaker 1: the over was okay. That's good. It's good to see,
Speaker 1: it's good to know. Now we have a little bit
Speaker 1: more to go on. I'm glad I stayed away from
Speaker 1: it because you and I both had a weird feeling
Speaker 1: about it. Now we saw something new. That's something we
Speaker 1: take into account. Speaking of eleven strikeouts about Corbyn, Burr
Speaker 1: one run six things, eleven case for him, you Darvish
Speaker 1: dominating against the Braves too, nine strikeouts of his own
Speaker 1: and then he had ten or by the eight strikeouts
Speaker 1: over seven innings. So which of these big standouts starts
Speaker 1: from these starters stood out to you?
Speaker 2: I mean clearly the Paul Skins one. I was watching
Speaker 2: that live because I, you know, as I whatever you
Speaker 2: call his analysts whatever, you know, like I'm sitting there
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to pick apart, like where can some
Speaker 2: of the negatives be? Because the excitement about Paul Skeins
Speaker 2: is this guy has like elite level crazy good stuff
Speaker 2: and you want him to be amazing, but he's got
Speaker 2: some pitch count potential that's behind him and blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: So like you try to you try to find those
Speaker 2: you know, pick those knits as it will be. He
Speaker 2: looked incredible, you know, he got to one hundred pitches
Speaker 2: no hit. I felt like they got back a little
Speaker 2: bit to some of those two strike fastballs that went
Speaker 2: really heavy splinker in this one, like they're gonna keep going.
Speaker 2: And he had this really funny interview where I don't
Speaker 2: remember who it was, she was interviewing him and saying, hey,
Speaker 2: the league's gonna adjust, and he was just like, good luck,
Speaker 2: He's a good luck adjusting. There's this level of confidence
Speaker 2: with him that the one hundred pitches I was very
Speaker 2: specific to throwing a no hitter, but them going in
Speaker 2: that direction it does open up kind of a broader
Speaker 2: spectrum of overall value. And I saw it like all
Speaker 2: over the internet, people asking, you know, should we go
Speaker 2: from top twenty five to top ten and blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: I do think the sky is the limit for him.
Speaker 2: The limitation continuously sits there. But like let me ask you,
Speaker 2: Paul Skeens, are shotto Emanaga because I go on about
Speaker 2: Imanaga with the two pitch thing.
Speaker 1: I talked to them, but for me still too, it's definitely.
Speaker 2: So like hands down, without question, you don't even worry
Speaker 2: about just two pitch.
Speaker 1: He's's got such a long track record in Japan. He
Speaker 1: was very durable there too.
Speaker 3: I just love Imanaga so much. Man, I've told you
Speaker 3: like love watching him pitch.
Speaker 1: I love the attitude. Look, schemes is fun and Skins
Speaker 1: is that lightning and a bottle guy. But I'm talking
Speaker 1: about the rest of this sea. It was great that
Speaker 1: they got to one hundred pitches. That was probably the
Speaker 1: most important thing for Skins was that pitch count, so
Speaker 1: that that was definitely a positive.
Speaker 2: There, No, Christine Aguilera love there.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, bring it again.
Speaker 2: I said, got me the right way, babee.
Speaker 1: Oh you're a genie in a bottle.
Speaker 2: Now said genie in a bottle? No, nothing, Hello, I.
Speaker 1: Just want to.
Speaker 2: We're going to be done. We're gonna We're gonna totally
Speaker 2: be done. But even versus Paul Skins, I think it's
Speaker 2: as you know, I'm going to put that in the chat.
Speaker 2: So if you guys are hanging in the chat, look
Speaker 2: at me all the time.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Welsh's putting a pole up and he's
Speaker 1: not going to dance on it.
Speaker 3: That's for Genesis Cabrera to do.
Speaker 1: And let's get to uh Walker Bueler, how about seven
Speaker 1: strikeout six shout out innings from Walker Bueller that was
Speaker 1: really good and Alec Manoa, can we talk about this
Speaker 1: strike out seven rays, seven scoreless innings? Here we go.
Speaker 1: I want to hear you in the chat Welsh.
Speaker 2: Sorry, Mike Manoa back maybe possibly, I don't want to
Speaker 2: see that any I don't want I don't want.
Speaker 1: To go into this.
Speaker 2: Let me pull up everything for Alec Minoa. This is
Speaker 2: kind of this is one of those same things as
Speaker 2: like Jack Flaherty, because like Flarity has been awesome and
Speaker 2: his underlying stats are telling like a really incredible story
Speaker 2: overall on the year with Manoa, but like I don't
Speaker 2: want to buy into it. That's kind of the big
Speaker 2: point with Minoa. You definitely are seeing improvements. His fastball
Speaker 2: is back up. It was ninety two last year. It's
Speaker 2: up over ninety four. It has a massively unsustainable whiff
Speaker 2: rate though, thirty eight percent whiff rate fastballs.
Speaker 1: Well, it's justly unsustainable. Because I'm looking at his twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two season, it was thirty seven and a half.
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one it was thirty eight point eight.
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm sorry, I'm looking at the wrong Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm looking at the wrong percentage here, Mike.
Speaker 2: Okay, because I was about to say, like to me,
Speaker 2: when I when I see high when I see high
Speaker 2: whiff rates on fastballs, I think a reliever and be
Speaker 2: not sustainable, Like that's not going to keep going and
Speaker 2: that's something that's going to fall apart. Plus, he's a
Speaker 2: primary sinker guy, which is not again that has like
Speaker 2: an overtly high wiff rate on it. I'm open to
Speaker 2: the possibility that he could have righted himself. You look
Speaker 2: at the pitch chart and you can see he is
Speaker 2: covering quadrants of the zone overall, which is good. Hard
Speaker 2: hit numbers are down. Barreling is a little bit up though.
Speaker 2: But my gut, like my gut tells me that I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna buy into Alec Manoa as backpack. My gut
Speaker 2: tells me that Flaherty is not going to be a
Speaker 2: top twenty five pitcher all season long. But all of
Speaker 2: that said, the changes, they might be here to stay.
Speaker 2: They might be completely here to stay. You know, somebody
Speaker 2: put it in the chat like the slider. An interesting
Speaker 2: thing was last year he was primary slider when the
Speaker 2: fastball is falling apart. Now that you've put that backwards,
Speaker 2: it's making it, I think a little bit more efficient.
Speaker 2: It's gonna make it more of an efficient pitch while
Speaker 2: you're actually being able to throw your fastballs and sinkers
Speaker 2: for strike. So again, like is Manoa back, I don't
Speaker 2: buy that old Banoa. So if someone's buying that, see yah.
Speaker 2: But he might be more than string.
Speaker 1: In his rookie year eight point twenty four, k Pro
Speaker 1: nine eight point one and then nine point five over
Speaker 1: the first eighteen innings. Now, over these first eighten ings
Speaker 1: against a small sample, the ERA is at three, the
Speaker 1: x ERA is four seven five, the fifth is four
Speaker 1: seven one, the XOP is four oh two. So it's
Speaker 1: definitely a small sample size where I'm not ready to
Speaker 1: say I think I'm where you are.
Speaker 3: I think I'm more in the maybe category.
Speaker 1: Uh and Carl is upset because we didn't mention Louis Heel.
Speaker 1: Carl uh And Heel has been tremendous so well.
Speaker 2: One of my biggest spies, one of my biggest spies.
Speaker 1: The biggest sell. If Garrett Cole is coming back in
Speaker 1: the next six weeks.
Speaker 2: I don't think you can. I mean, I know, I
Speaker 2: know what you're implying. There's nothing you could get for.
Speaker 1: The longer you wait, the harder it is to make
Speaker 1: that move.
Speaker 2: If you're implying Louis Sial is not going anywhere, eh yeah,
Speaker 2: not going anywhere. Yeah, that's what I'm hundred percent that dude.
Speaker 2: I put him on like three weeks ago because it
Speaker 2: was like he had this remnants of what you saw
Speaker 2: to Blake Snell. Blake Snell was like controlled chaos in
Speaker 2: how he would walk guys. Heel is not quite the same.
Speaker 2: He would kind of squeeze himself and the walks would
Speaker 2: go up, his strikeout potential through the roof, and then
Speaker 2: here you go. You saw it. You saw him be
Speaker 2: able as soon as you start throwing more strikes. The
Speaker 2: efficiency was there as a big time strikeout guy. And
Speaker 2: it all kind of came to a head this week
Speaker 2: and Luis heels so unfortunately the buying opportunity was like
Speaker 2: two or three weeks ago whenever we did that on
Speaker 2: the What about your test?
Speaker 1: Could you be a guy on his way out of
Speaker 1: that rotation spitched in the bullpen before?
Speaker 2: That's a good question.
Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's a possibility to the guides
Speaker 1: of actually Garret Cole, But.
Speaker 2: Remember you think Garret Cole is going to get hurt again,
Speaker 2: so it does none of this actually matters because Garrett
Speaker 2: Cole we have to trade off because he's going to.
Speaker 1: Get hurt well again, not everybody has Garret Cole and Clark.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like we're trying to look at this
Speaker 1: realistically here. I think what I'm getting at is heels
Speaker 1: going no place like no, he's going to be sticking
Speaker 1: around that rotation.
Speaker 3: You're dropping incredible starts.
Speaker 2: Like that, digging his heels and uh delicious.
Speaker 1: But I think it's my bad New Jersey, New York
Speaker 1: accent where I'm saying a shota managa and I'm saying
Speaker 1: it so fast with all the vowels that people think
Speaker 1: I'm saying shoto. And I think that's what's happening here,
Speaker 1: and I think, so why, but people then say show too.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why people are giving a crap still
Speaker 1: about the monagas. I think it's just a bit now
Speaker 1: that the Peanuts and Crackerjacks like to do. And I
Speaker 1: accept all the bits.
Speaker 2: I mean, we both I have I have that same
Speaker 2: tendency where sometimes I'll say things kind of quick, and
Speaker 2: I mean also my brain can be stupid about it,
Speaker 2: but I hear Shota when you say it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh well that's good. H Do you hear Spencer
Speaker 1: Toorko Sin's third home run? Did you hear that Sunday afternoon?
Speaker 3: Ooh wee, let's go.
Speaker 1: He's right hot. Welsh, also speaking of the disappointing first baseman, says,
Speaker 1: first segue, Joseah Bray, you could return to the Astros
Speaker 1: as soon as Friday? So what does that do to
Speaker 1: Joey Lowe? What was it? Dude? To Singleton, they're.
Speaker 2: Coming back as a coach, carry bags? What's he gonna do?
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean anything? You know, the worst players in
Speaker 2: in baseball? Jose bring you he's awful.
Speaker 1: You know. How do I look at his minor league numbers?
Speaker 1: Did he did he actually take the assignment? No?
Speaker 2: I think he showed up like two weeks later to Complex,
Speaker 2: and I think he worked in Complex. I don't know
Speaker 2: if he played any actual Complex ball. Whatever adjustment, they're gonna.
Speaker 3: Be nine at bats, nine have bats. Would you like
Speaker 3: to hear how it went?
Speaker 2: I would bet two hits and five strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Two hits. I don't see the strikeouts here because I
Speaker 1: can I can pull back the other way. Uh no,
Speaker 1: it was in rookie ball. I guess it was, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, so yeah, so no strikeouts, one walk, one RRBI,
Speaker 1: a double, two hits, two runs in nine bats, and
Speaker 1: like Scooby, there's coming back.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I don't I.
Speaker 1: With the chat today. You win the chat, Brandon when
Speaker 1: Jose showed up.
Speaker 2: Man, God bless you all for never forgetting anything.
Speaker 1: Ever, whoa spitcher.
Speaker 2: Torkleson, that's the one to maybe come back and sit
Speaker 2: on here for a second. Strikeout numbers have been low,
Speaker 2: barrel percentage is still not really moving, his expected batting
Speaker 2: average still kind of stinks, and the hard hit rate
Speaker 2: really hasn't adjusted. But I think the sample sizes are
Speaker 2: just just too low at this point. But over his
Speaker 2: last four games, he's got hits in his last four games,
Speaker 2: and actually it clicks in for this month. He's only
Speaker 2: got one to three games this entire month where he
Speaker 2: doesn't have a hit. So it'll be interesting to kind
Speaker 2: of piece and look at what May's hard hit things are.
Speaker 2: But again, if you take May and you say only
Speaker 2: three games he didn't have a hit, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: he must really be trending in the right direction. He's
Speaker 2: still hitting two twenty seven. You haven't seen any real
Speaker 2: move as far as big hard hit numbers barreling any better.
Speaker 2: But the positives are is he is not a big strikeoutup,
Speaker 2: so he's actually got I think it's the lowest strikeout,
Speaker 2: lowest strikeout of his career at this point.
Speaker 1: So percent last year. Right now, I'm looking at it
Speaker 1: right now, I'm cool to buy the per Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: buying him. I think that window a shut. But I'd
Speaker 1: love to get him as a piece in the trade.
Speaker 1: I think he's a piece in the trade kind of guy.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. Right,
Speaker 1: Let's do three up and three up and three down.
Speaker 1: Joey o'tani two for four, Good night for him. Brady
Speaker 1: Singer six innings on Sunday. They beat the A's struck
Speaker 1: out nine. Also Lugo this week and had a big
Speaker 1: ten K performance. I don't know if you saw that.
Speaker 1: Where did that come from? What's going on with second twelve?
Speaker 1: The other twelve? The other you throw? It was funny
Speaker 1: because the first couple of starts it was it was
Speaker 1: really bad, like strikeouts are really lagging behind and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it was like twenties of the strikeouts.
Speaker 2: His last two starts, telling you, man, why this team
Speaker 2: isn't being the aggressor in the trade market. They should
Speaker 2: be calling the Marlins to go get Lozardo tomorrow with
Speaker 2: Reagan's been dicey, but Lugo has been playing up. Waka
Speaker 2: is a little questionable, and Singer coming back. If you
Speaker 2: want to keep pace, they've got to come and bring
Speaker 2: in a really more offense.
Speaker 1: You think they need more pitchings? sEH.
Speaker 3: I think the offense is what they need to get.
Speaker 2: No, I do I think they need Yeah, both, I
Speaker 2: think both sides. Go and get whatever, stupid Marlin, go
Speaker 2: get Jazz Chisholm and Hazus Lozardo and sell the farm.
Speaker 1: Do that. I'm behind that. Chisholm is a really interesting
Speaker 1: piece for them, the other speed power guy, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, that makes him a very athletic team. I'm
Speaker 1: here for that. I'd love to see though. I mean, man,
Speaker 1: I mean I was a kid, the Royals were great.
Speaker 1: George Brett was one of my favorite players growing up
Speaker 1: as a kid. Man, I love George Brett. Like the
Speaker 1: Royals were historically in the eighties, a terrific team, and
Speaker 1: then you know, everything just kind of fell apart and
Speaker 1: they had little renaissance there with the Hosmer years with
Speaker 1: you know, Lorenzo Caine and the Mustakas, and that was
Speaker 1: a fun team for a short window of time. But
Speaker 1: you know, it sucks because the Royals historically again you
Speaker 1: know about the eighties were really a good team there,
Speaker 1: a team getting the World Series and things like that.
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker two for five, two homers, nice nine for him.
Speaker 1: He's red hot right now. Three down. Bryce Elder not
Speaker 1: so good, seven runs six earned nine hits in three innings.
Speaker 1: The George Kirby gave up five runs and six against
Speaker 1: the Orioles. You want to give him pass because it
Speaker 1: was the Orioles Welsh.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, always every pass I can give I give
Speaker 2: to Kirby, all.
Speaker 1: Right, and of course, but not least eventually it had
Speaker 1: to slow down. Ellie de la Cruz zero for five
Speaker 1: with the Golden Cimperrero four ks. So now we're all right,
Speaker 1: Now that's the end of days, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, like this is who he is. He is
Speaker 2: the funniest player on the plenty. You know what, Ellie
Speaker 2: might be my new favorite player of all time because
Speaker 2: I am here for this. I'm here for five stolen
Speaker 2: based games. He is yos. He is the anarchy symbol.
Speaker 2: He's gonna have a week where everyone's like, oh my God,
Speaker 2: like I love him. I love for what he's going
Speaker 2: to cause all the anxiety for everybody. He's the number
Speaker 2: one player. He's the worst player this he's the best.
Speaker 2: He's I hope he does this his entire career. Two
Speaker 2: weeks of being the worst, two weeks of being the best,
Speaker 2: and just no one ever knows what to do. This
Speaker 2: is how I approach, and this is how you have
Speaker 2: to build in the value of Elie de la Cruz
Speaker 2: that the upside weeks are at the tippy top and
Speaker 2: the downside could be zero hits, forty five strikeouts. God
Speaker 2: knows what it's going to look like. It's amazing. I
Speaker 2: love him.
Speaker 1: Grayson Rodriguez made his return from the IL on Saturday.
Speaker 1: He looked very sharp, seven strikeouts and six innings, no decision,
Speaker 1: but no runs either against the M's God, the Marriagers.
Speaker 1: You know, can the Mariners go get Louise Robert? Like that?
Speaker 1: To me, that's the move I heard that.
Speaker 2: Did you hear that room, by the way, that.
Speaker 3: I literally just made it up yesterday on TVs.
Speaker 1: I am I think it might have been the TV
Speaker 1: He's Apia says that the Mariners might be looking at Louis.
Speaker 2: I got that text this weekend from somebody about like
Speaker 2: there's a rumor of Robert and Berners. It wasn't you.
Speaker 2: That's amazing that you did. No.
Speaker 1: I literally had a giant conversation with Striker about it
Speaker 1: on the TV show on Sunday, and I just you know,
Speaker 1: and if you love this show, it's like a two
Speaker 1: hour version every Sunday on Sports grew to be a
Speaker 1: match Striker kind of it's not you on it, but
Speaker 1: it's still me. I mean, he's still getting half the
Speaker 1: fun at least. But you know, you take Sunday off,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: I don't. I do other things working here. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: start taking Sundays off.
Speaker 1: But you watch me.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start.
Speaker 1: Adolas Garcia MRI came back clean on the forearm, so
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. We'll keep an eye on that.
Speaker 1: And Austin Riley with the side said he felt much better.
Speaker 1: He's gonna start swinging a bat, maybe even get you
Speaker 1: know helmet Sunday, see how things go. More baseball activities.
Speaker 1: Jung Huli very sad out for the season. Now, when
Speaker 1: we got the news last week that there was structural damage,
Speaker 1: I told you, I was like, you better make some
Speaker 1: long term plans. It's gonna be a long time, if
Speaker 1: not the whole year. And it was. And I want
Speaker 1: to talk about our friend knucking here because he's talking
Speaker 1: about Louis Matos, who remember had a good spring and
Speaker 1: I was on and then he got brought up to
Speaker 1: the team, right, he made the team out of spring
Speaker 1: because it was an injury. Then they didn't really play him.
Speaker 1: He didn't do much, they sent him down. He was
Speaker 1: terrible at Triple A. Now I don't know if he
Speaker 1: was pouting at Triple A, but he's come up there
Speaker 1: and he's been red hot. So is Mantos a guy
Speaker 1: that you're picking up this week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they brought up him and Helio Ramos, But
Speaker 2: Matos is the guy that has more long term sustainability
Speaker 2: if you're it's all kind of small sample size stuff
Speaker 2: with him. But if you're talking like major league side,
Speaker 2: even into this year, heart hit numbers are looking a
Speaker 2: little bit better. He's barreling a whole lot more than
Speaker 2: he did in his rookie debut, which is huge. He's
Speaker 2: just gonna have to like really learn to consistently tap
Speaker 2: into the power which he doesn't have right now. It's
Speaker 2: very like Carol esque early in the year one hundred
Speaker 2: and nine Max TV, but only eighty six average, So
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to find some consistency there. But you'll
Speaker 2: do that when you do barrel the ball a decent
Speaker 2: amount and really high end launch angle two around seventeen
Speaker 2: degrees about bat league average bat speed. He can run
Speaker 2: a little bit. I am down. I'm actually down when
Speaker 2: Louis Matos as a pickup right now to kind of
Speaker 2: alter out any weird outfield issues that you're going with.
Speaker 2: But I think he is more sustainable than helly O
Speaker 2: Ramos on that team.
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna laugh. Wesh. I'm worried here for a
Speaker 1: second because I think I think we might need a
Speaker 1: puppet Joe moment. Can you hear me right now? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Hi, all right, I can't see you, nor can I
Speaker 3: adjust anything on stream yards.
Speaker 2: So oh this is good.
Speaker 1: You might you might have to have just preparing you
Speaker 1: this time that this is not a bit, folks, this
Speaker 1: is not a bit. I'm gonna have to rejoin you.
Speaker 1: So without further ado, let's represent because I can't. Everything's
Speaker 1: frozen on my end here again.
Speaker 2: Thank you for letting me talk about Luis Mantos completely.
Speaker 2: And you're not leaving, and now me have talked about
Speaker 2: Luis Matos and now that you're gonna go, but yeah,
Speaker 2: go ahead out.
Speaker 1: I'll get a due like the old Mike Myers Linda
Speaker 1: Richmond character. All right, I remember she used to say,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna give you a topic, you know, talk.
Speaker 2: About your Rhode Island is neither a road nor discussed.
Speaker 1: Well, look out it came back. Uh. Now, now people
Speaker 1: are disappointed. I feel like they deserve puppet. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden it started working.
Speaker 2: You can wait for it. Get off the screen here, right.
Speaker 1: Let's give Welsh a topic I want in the comments.
Speaker 1: I got I got one, I got one, I got
Speaker 1: you got a topic? Yeah, I got one? All right,
Speaker 1: go ahead, Welsh.
Speaker 2: Let's see which strike?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Can you believe that? Let me get in the screen.
Speaker 2: Can you believe these read Garrett people? Edwin Diaz am,
Speaker 2: I right, Edwin Diaz. I've always said it. You should
Speaker 2: have always bought Edwin Diaz. Joe's always said it. Watch
Speaker 2: me Sundays with Matt Striker better than the Welsh. Here
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: The funny part is it's freezing again.
Speaker 2: No, it's.
Speaker 1: What's going on here. It's Monday. My computer doesn't want
Speaker 1: to work, so really like you're gonna have to fill
Speaker 1: a bus here. And I thought it was it was fixed,
Speaker 1: but now it's and.
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not on the master back end, so I
Speaker 2: can't click all the things. I don't even see them.
Speaker 2: I'd have to I don't know what, like the master account,
Speaker 2: the master account where.
Speaker 1: I can do the back in the nineties.
Speaker 2: Do you want to do some puppet Welsh and I'll
Speaker 2: leave and I'll come.
Speaker 1: No, No, I definitely don't want to do some puppet Wells.
Speaker 1: So I have no other choice but to restart this
Speaker 1: so Welsh, why don't you again, philibuster for another couple
Speaker 1: of seconds here? I thought it was working. It is not.
Speaker 1: I will get back here as soon as I can,
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: He just disappear. I mean, Joe is killing me, all right,
Speaker 2: So I have to stand over here. Puppet Joe nopes,
Speaker 2: I'd see I did that. So I don't even know
Speaker 2: if we can talk as puppet Joe. We're gonna kill
Speaker 2: the bit if we talk as puppet Joe. What if
Speaker 2: we have a fantasy question in there, maybe Puppet Joe
Speaker 2: can answer it because we were talking about Luis Matos.
Speaker 2: Is Louis Mantos a must pick up in twelve Team No,
Speaker 2: but he's he a guy that we want to go
Speaker 2: out and get. Yes, I'll give you guys a preview
Speaker 2: as well to something on the trade video this week.
Speaker 2: Make sure you go and check that out. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's quite out yet. We made a buy sell
Speaker 2: sandwich buy as the top piece of bread three cells
Speaker 2: and then a bottom piece of bread is a buye.
Speaker 2: And one of the biggest buys we're going to talk
Speaker 2: about is Ronald Acuna in there. But I got a
Speaker 2: bunch of pitchers in there. So make sure that you
Speaker 2: guys go and check that out, as I tried to
Speaker 2: stay in this in this box here with Puppa Joe.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: Well, so let me ask you something. Who is one
Speaker 2: of your favorite buyes right now? Well, Puppet Joe, one
Speaker 2: of my favorite buyes is exactly who Kiko put in
Speaker 2: the chat. And I'll just tell you guys right now,
Speaker 2: Brandon Fought, who I think I've talked about a little
Speaker 2: bit before. Brandon Fought has made so many elite changes
Speaker 2: you want to talk about, Like you know, Luis Mantos
Speaker 2: is one of those fun pickups to get right now.
Speaker 2: One of I think the best trade options right now
Speaker 2: is going and getting Brandon Fought. So that's been the
Speaker 2: big one. You can see on the trade video and
Speaker 2: in my trade short.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I mean, my god, what time is it.
Speaker 1: It's time for the best bets of the day with
Speaker 1: Joey p and the Welsh. Make sure that you are
Speaker 1: placing your wages wagers. Why do we say wages your wagers? Well,
Speaker 1: actually it's your wages.
Speaker 2: Don't please don't put your paycheck on.
Speaker 1: Put all your paycheck. Get bet three sings, fine, use
Speaker 1: the promo code leading off, bet five bucks, get one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty and bonus bets when you do. But
Speaker 1: only when you use that promo code leading off. That's
Speaker 1: how you do it, Welsh. So let's take your wages
Speaker 1: and turn them into wagers. I want to start here
Speaker 1: on the money lines, and I'm gonna start the money
Speaker 1: line with the Tampa Bay Rays TODs Bradley at home today.
Speaker 1: This one's very close between them and the Boston Red Sox.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the minus one oh six with
Speaker 1: Tampa at home. Tosh looked pretty good so far. Number
Speaker 1: two the Dodger of the Yama Mu Tu on the
Speaker 1: mound on the run line minus one and a half.
Speaker 1: They are heavy favorites tonight, but still I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with them on the run line. Get a little bit
Speaker 1: extra there, get the minus.
Speaker 2: An opener situation. So that's not ideal.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, it is not ideal. Slaye JACONI I believe
Speaker 3: is the tailing the opener tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think Joe Mantiply is the starter, and then I
Speaker 2: think Slade is gonna back them up.
Speaker 3: We don't die, we mantiply. That's what we do on
Speaker 3: this show.
Speaker 1: So give me the Dodger on the run line minus
Speaker 1: one and a half at minus one oh four, and
Speaker 1: Chris Sale the regular number was too boring for me. Well,
Speaker 1: there's like five and a half with juw six and
Speaker 1: a half as man. I like the alternate line seven
Speaker 1: and a half. Give me the over last three weeks
Speaker 1: three starts, I should say every three weeks, last three
Speaker 1: starts for Sale nine ten nine strikeouts. Now, I know
Speaker 1: the Padres don't strike out a lot. However, it's a
Speaker 1: second game, a doubleheader, so Welsh, I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: get some substitution guys in there in that late game,
Speaker 1: and guys were like, I don't want to face Chris
Speaker 1: Sale of the second double dip here. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the night off, and I think you're gonna see some
Speaker 1: of that. So I like Sale to go over. He
Speaker 1: is locked in plus money. You take that alternate line
Speaker 1: two of the plus one fifty four, you put it
Speaker 1: on the money line with the Braves, you can get
Speaker 1: really good odds. But if you just want to play
Speaker 1: it safer, the original five and a half strikeouts and
Speaker 1: the money line, and you say, Joe, let's not push
Speaker 1: too hard. You can get the Braves and the Sale
Speaker 1: over five and a half strikeouts together in the same
Speaker 1: game parlay for plus one twenty five. So there you
Speaker 1: have it, Welsh, those are the bets of the day
Speaker 1: for me. What do you have for the people?
Speaker 3: Because I think you've got a Toads Bradley one two.
Speaker 2: I do have a Taj brothery when Joe coming in
Speaker 2: from nineteen ninety four with your screen quality right now,
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened.
Speaker 3: Oh no, is it really? It looks here on mine?
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't look very good.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's me.
Speaker 1: It must be some problem with the internet out. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's going Yeah, I don't know. Roddling my
Speaker 1: internet at noon.
Speaker 2: Reed Garrett is hacking into your account. So he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, all right, my bets for the day? You
Speaker 2: mentioned Taz Bradley, Yes, I do. My favorite bet is
Speaker 2: Taj Bradley's strikeouts plus one thirty. It's a big number
Speaker 2: because he doesn't hit seven a whole bunch, though he
Speaker 2: did have eight strike ups against the Red Sox last
Speaker 2: year in one of those few that he went over seven,
Speaker 2: so the numbers is a little bit higher at six
Speaker 2: and a half, but it's big plus money at plus
Speaker 2: one three. So Taj is one of those players that
Speaker 2: can get here. Has a high K percentage and the
Speaker 2: Red Sox are top five in the league in K percentage.
Speaker 2: They strike out a decent amount, so odds in the
Speaker 2: favor with great plus money. It's one of my favorite
Speaker 2: plays of the day. You mentioned the sales start. Atlanta's
Speaker 2: playing twice, are actually playing as we're recording this. Shout
Speaker 2: out to Rainaldo Lopez Atlanta with Chris Sale. I'm backing
Speaker 2: in game two minus one and a half on the
Speaker 2: run line. I'm gonna play that bad boy and then
Speaker 2: Milwaukee and Miami Joe Ross, Ryan Weathers. Let's go over
Speaker 2: the runs. It was at eight, it moved to eight
Speaker 2: and a half and you can get plus money if
Speaker 2: you're looking eight and a half over runs total on
Speaker 2: the game line. That's what I'm doing for plus and
Speaker 2: I got a couple others over on the Betting Pros
Speaker 2: have already locked in a couple others actually, Raynaldo Lopez
Speaker 2: being one of them, So you can check it out.
Speaker 2: Bettingpros dot com slash Welsh.

Speaker 1: terms and conditions apply, Welsh, I want to set some
Speaker 1: terms and conditions for you. By the way, I was
Speaker 1: looking at the pole, it was Skeens or Manoa.
Speaker 3: I thought it was supposed to be for Scheens or Minauga.
Speaker 3: You did Skeens in Manoa.
Speaker 1: That's so stupid.
Speaker 2: I am so dumb because you were talking to me
Speaker 2: while I was doing it. My fault, Yes, it is
Speaker 2: your fault. Yeah, it's in I put Paul's have all
Speaker 2: these home runs? You fix fall skins?
Speaker 1: Are Manoa? Okay?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, Hold on a second. Let's talk about
Speaker 2: the fact that six percent of you said Alec Manoa
Speaker 2: over bets.
Speaker 1: I was bring that. That's what I thought. It was
Speaker 1: the weird six percent of Alec Mano. What's going on
Speaker 1: with your people? Are you okay? Peanuts Cracker Jacks.
Speaker 3: I can't believe I did thats up there.
Speaker 1: We got a couple of minutes left. Everybody go vote
Speaker 1: really quick. See we can do that. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the home run board, shall we.
Speaker 1: Now I'm not number one but I am number two
Speaker 1: and I'm tied for number two. It's sixteen b Mac
Speaker 1: Hoose and hose trucks with me. Those are my people,
Speaker 1: l Scale. There's a lot of us actually tied at
Speaker 1: sixteen now that I'm seeing it, but Pasi with nineteen
Speaker 1: cannot be defeated so far. But it feels good to
Speaker 1: be number three, I mean really number two. So let's
Speaker 1: call it what is. And if you want to join
Speaker 1: the fun in our discord fansborros dot com slash chat,

Speaker 1: to keep giving you amazing content. Welsh, you go first today?
Speaker 1: Where are you gonna go for your home run?
Speaker 2: Who the hell am I going with? I am picking
Speaker 2: on it doesn't matter you know what wheel later this week?
Speaker 2: If I don't get to Wednesday, We're going wheel Wednesday
Speaker 2: for sure for my home run.
Speaker 1: Right that you heard him here? Everybody, Well, Wednesday's co.
Speaker 2: We're gonna go. So I'm gonna pick on the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: I don't love an opener situation interesting, you know if
Speaker 2: mantiply gets them out and Slade does kind of rock
Speaker 2: with it. But Dodgers offense in general, I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: with Mookie bets Uh. That's gonna be my play at
Speaker 2: the front end, hopefully getting an extra at bat and
Speaker 2: picking on the Diamondbacks. So give me Mookie bets on
Speaker 2: the home run call today.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, what's the schemes?
Speaker 1: Manoa one, that's the one that I care now about
Speaker 1: the results of that pole. That's a pole.
Speaker 2: Well, that one's dead.
Speaker 1: I killed it.
Speaker 2: It was dude six percent going Minoa is.
Speaker 3: Laugh out loud, Minagua fifty right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, just barely. It was that fifty percent just a
Speaker 2: second ago. So there, because I just have your home
Speaker 2: run call and then we'll look at it.
Speaker 1: My home run call. I'm also going to go with
Speaker 1: the Dodger but with show, Hey, oh Tommy, and aren't
