It is me Joey P. That's 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:20.560 the Welsh and it's you the Peanuts of the Crackers 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:22.720 as hanging out in the chat. Today. We've got a 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.919 great show for you today. We've got the trade winds 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.800 are blowing, we've got Fernando Tatists home run calls back 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.000 on the board. Welsh feeling good about that and a 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.159 perfect four and oh day for Joey P. On the 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.240 betting side, rocket and rolling. I'm good in the early 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.920 week and then this the week kind of tends downward. 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:43.360 I tend downward, so I gotta change that trend. But Welsh, 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:48.880 yesterday something very very scary happened. Buster Olney was hacked 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.320 and all of a sudden rumors started flying. It was 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.200 pretty hilarious. Welsh. I'm waiting till someday they hack you. 0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.480 And that's why, no, no, no, no, please don't do that. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.560 I actually terrify to that, so I actually feel bad 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:02.760 laughing at it because I'm like terrified of those things. 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.360 When we started in I forgot about the only stuff 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:07.880 you and I were talking about it, And then as 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:10.880 the music the thing was going, I went and looked 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.000 it up and I was reading them and I just 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.000 I couldn't help myself. So if you're wondering why I 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.119 had a big, old, stupid ass grin on my face 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.959 when the show started, it's because of that. And maybe 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:24.840 my favorite one. He got hack hacked and this dude 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.360 he went berserk with everything. But for some reason, my 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:33.240 favorite one is it just goes I hate Mets. And 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:34.560 that was it. And that was the last one I 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.920 read right as the show started. It was just Buster only, 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:38.160 I hate Mets. 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.039 He got a literally that's how you know. Gee, I wonder, 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.720 I wonder who would Hackbuster only and write something like that. 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.600 Yeah, I mean there was tons of stuff. One of 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.920 the worst ones were the trade ones he was doing. 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:55.000 He did one like the Oakland A's have agreed to 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.480 a deal with the New York Mets on Francisco Lindore. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:58.280 Yeah right there. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.400 That exactly shame because that one is still like unbelieving. 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.240 I wish it would have been a more believable one, 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:03.880 you know. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.840 But the guy definitely unveiled that he is a Mets 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:09.959 fan because he did the Lindor to the A's fan 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.960 I hate me. 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:16.680 Because he said I hate he traded like to the 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.880 A's he said, I I hate Mets, which is a 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:20.919 very funny phrasing. 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:22.640 I know, I really it was so funny. 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.280 So uh so, yeah, so Buster only hopefully changes the past. 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.120 You forget his account back. I don't. I mean, you 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.919 guys don't understand this one. I was watching it live, 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:33.960 like Joe texts me later in the day and I'm like, dude, 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.920 this has just been going like I was just going 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.680 ballistic answering d MS. People were telling him what to do. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.680 It is so weird when this happens, Like I feel 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.120 bad because I would I would hate if my account 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.200 got uh you know, hacked, and this was happening whatever. 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.840 There's just something weird about a guy like Buster only 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.520 doing it. But it does look like I can confirm 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.720 Buster only must have got it back and had to 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.880 delete every single tweet because his uh, his twitter is clean. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:00.840 Many were there. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.680 There were a lot with a lot like. 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.560 We're like ten screenshots and some of them were pretty amusing. 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.919 Yeah, people still have them out there that I hate 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.519 Mets was the best one. Let's see, he had one 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.960 that the Phillies and the White Sox had agreed on as. 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.480 Rober saw that one. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.799 Yeah, that's a good one too. I can't even read some. 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.960 Of the good times. All right, let's get to the 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:26.200 headlines here. Gunner Henderson, that boy is good. Uh so 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.079 far on the year in three fifteen, in the month 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:34.080 of June with three homers already three for five yesterday's 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.560 twenty first homer, first pitch. I believe yesterday in the game, 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.440 if memory serves ever, for Gunner Henderson or the lead 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.200 off homer, and the guy's been just unbelievable. I know, 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.080 Welsh Gunner was your guy. Gunner is in this MVP conversation. 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:50.240 And you know we saw Wan Soto actually did DH yesterday, 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:53.120 So I think that's a positive. He's getting treatment on it. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.920 Maybe he DHS for a couple of weeks, hopefully nothing, 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.160 you know, hopefully that there isn't a situation where you 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.160 were gret that decision. Is it better to just put 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.200 him on the eel for ten days or fifteen days 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.800 or whatever it is, and let it kind of die down, 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.360 work its way out, or is it better to you know, 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:12.960 try to let him work through this and keep Sodo 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.720 on and in the lineup. I don't know the answer 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.280 to that question. I give him credit for trying to 0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.360 play through it. I think it's a gutty thing. But again, 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.400 it's only June, so it might be a stupid thing. 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.880 But if something does happen to Sodo where he misses 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.960 an extent period of time at any point, Connor Henderson's 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.080 definitely this conversation along with Aaron Judge for sure. 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.279 Yeah, you know it's weird. Is I feel like with 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.159 a lot of these for the last couple of years, 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.400 we've looked at like, you know, a team that's got 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.440 two amazing players, and we're like, oh, this guy is 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.360 gonna eat I don't feel like these guys are eating 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.400 into each other anymore. Like Judge and Sodo are still 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.560 near the tippy top, because logic would say, like, yeah, 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:48.479 Judge and Sodo should in some capacity maybe eat away 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.200 at some of those you know, first overall MVP votes. 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.880 Because also when you look at a guy like Gunner, 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:58.080 Legit is gonna probably put up like thirty minimum thirty 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.520 five homers. At this point, someone could go forty forty five, 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.560 could completely transform and carry this Orioles team into a 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.120 playoff run. Gunner should legit. I don't know if he'll 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:09.880 get it, because if you're going to be battling up 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.440 against a guy like Je Soto or if Aaron Judge 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.520 goes fifty plus again, it's going to be almost impossible 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.040 no matter what Gunner does. But for perspective of value, 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:22.040 Gunner belongs in that conversation. I just don't know if 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:24.039 it's a good bet. When you've got two of the 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:26.000 best players on the Yankees right now. 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.680 I'd like you know, the chat's very funny. They got 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.840 a lot of funny people in our Penos and Crockers act. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.440 I'd like a contest right now. I want to see 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.080 your funny Buster Only passwords. So whatever you think the 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.039 password was that got hacked for Buster Only, I'd like 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.160 you to drop it in the comments. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.960 Two three four that's the password for my luggage? 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.440 No want I want it to be I want to 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.839 see how clever because I know this group is pretty fun. 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.440 So let's see if you can get that out there. 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.560 So I did say Soto was back in the lineup dhing, 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.120 So there you go. We'll see how that works out. 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.839 Dylan Cees got to win for the first time this month, 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.520 holding the A's down to one run in six innings, 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.279 as we predicted here on the program. So we got 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:09.560 everything yesterday, all things rocking and rolling, very very good situation. 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.920 Royce Lewis continues to stay hot to one for four 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.520 two runs scored for him, Chris Paddock six and a 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.359 third shoutout innings. He got the w but Welsh, have 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.840 you seen the the split stats this year on Chris Paddock. 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:21.880 I don't know if you've seen these. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.440 Or mom, no love just the home road. 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.240 Yeah, the Home Road. Have you seen these? 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.320 This scene? Tell me, tell me all about it. 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.520 Well, I want to get the exact number because I 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.120 saw it flash in front of me. So now I'm 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:33.920 just pulling this up. 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:36.960 You were very Seinfeld there, like have you seen these splits? 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.400 Oh that's a shame. That's a shame. That's one of 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.320 my favorite Jerry Seinfeld things where he just goes that's 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:42.640 a shame. 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.200 That's like a favorite Seinfeld thing. 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.400 I think because you're not a Seinfeld, I don't like it. 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.040 I don't like it. I don't think, yeah, yeah. 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.080 Well I don't think his stand up is great. But 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.680 you know what else isn't great? The away numbers for 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.240 Chris Paddock. He has an eight twenty e RA and 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.880 five stars this year on the road, On the road 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.960 and home he has got a two point eight zero 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.120 ERA over eight starts. But in the five starts on 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.720 the road an eight two zero. That's drikes. 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.480 I don't recall that. I mean it's only like two 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.920 and a half months. That's crazy. 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.480 Five starts, eight starts, Like that's enough where that's a 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.120 good enough sample where you can say, all right, this is. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:21.440 That's Colorado dramatic. That's crazy, pretty bad, It's pretty bad. 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.360 I just thought I would throw that out there just because, 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.040 you know, when you're looking at matchups, like the next 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.600 time I see Chris Paddock on the road, I'm just 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.440 going all in. I just figured that was worth sharing 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.120 over there for everybody. Let's look at some of the 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.280 passwords here. Let's get to Anthony Rizzo too. This is 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.320 a good one here, suck it, Kirchin. That's a good one. 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.240 I like that one. What other passwords do we have? 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.080 Bust you ask? Twenty four that's a good one I 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:55.320 really hate Mets. Also a good one from Dan. Some 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:56.560 some really good options here. 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:02.240 Here, here's a question here. So one said's still taller 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.880 than Rosenthal? Was the password? Go up to that one. 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:06.720 It's just a couple up. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.640 It's actually still taller than Rosenthal. That's a good one. 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.080 See the chat U's in Cracker Jackson never let You Down, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.440 Anthony Rizzo benched. This is the end of Anthony Rizzo. 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.200 I feel like we've kind of been here before once 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.400 or twice recently, but this is now pretty much more dramatic. 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.960 Rizzo my friend yea DJ. 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:26.760 Let Mayhew getting first base starts. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.960 DJ Mayhew a much better option far as a contact hitter. 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.839 I wish they would experiment with Jason Diminga is playing 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.920 first so we could get him in the lineup. But yeah, 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.720 I think we're getting towards the end. If anything, though, 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:39.480 Rizzo is gonna be one of those guys that just 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.560 kind of looms around, you know, just gonna be off 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.439 the bench, and they're not gonna cut him or get 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:44.880 rid of anything like that. It's not gonna be in 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.959 a brave you situation. I just think he's gonna sit more. 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.840 So fair enough rookie lookie time Jackson Cheerio won for 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:54.480 two with a walk and a homer. I told you 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.200 I think he's starting to pull things out a little bit. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.440 I'm just saying we're gonna talk talk about it. I 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.760 think it's I said this the other day and people 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.480 thought I was crazy, Like I like what I see 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:04.840 out of him a little bit. He started to get 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.280 the confidence. It might not be a great season for 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.040 him when all said and done, he might not get 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.800 return on your draft value. But if you didn't draft 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:13.440 him and you you know, as we'll talk about some 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.640 trade stuff in a second, might be worth a look here. Again, 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:18.240 the minor league's be so good. Two eighty three to 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.280 twenty two homers, forty four steals last year in one 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.360 hundred and twenty eight games. Let's not pretend like the 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.520 guy doesn't have talent. It just takes a while. Now, 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.520 Louis Varland, I'm not sure I'm sold on this. He's 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.200 gonna get start today against the Rockies Welsh uh, and 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:30.880 he has not been good this year. He went down 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.840 a triple A. The era is about five, so I 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:36.040 know the strikeouts are there, but this is not a 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.520 great look here for Louis Varland. I don't have any 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.000 confidence starting him today, even against the Rockies. Would you 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:41.800 be streaming him? 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:46.360 No? Because also cal Quandrille, Yeah, well cal Conchrill cow 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.880 conch Twell cal Quantrill is on the bump and he's 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.400 been really good this year. He has been their best starter. 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.839 He's been doesn't matter on splits. I actually think Colorado 0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.240 is a good bet today. So no, I'm not into 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:04.360 Louis Arland at all. Rockies under cal Kwan Trill is 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:05.160 kind of a good bet. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.480 There's another good one, Arson Judge Bb. 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.920 How does it happen to I get? The thing is 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.760 is they get old person they like it's like Bank 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:17.520 of America wants you to double you know, like they 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.439 click on a link, like, don't ever click, don't ever 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:20.400 click on any link. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.920 Well I got anything. Sometimes they're just like going so 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.960 fast they probably don't realize it, you know, never I 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.640 can't go. But I love Bank of America not a 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.240 sponsor of the show yet, Yeah. 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:30.920 But that's fine. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:35.360 But don't ever click Bank of America presents leading off. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.080 That's that's that's when you know we've made the big 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:42.560 time folks, Uh Chase the laughter Guardians big prospect was 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.360 put back on the IL. This guy cannot catch a break. 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.679 He's got turf toe now, Welsh the latter was so 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.120 good in the spring, everybody was excited. People thought he 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.560 might making the team. The guys had foot problems. Now 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.840 a turf toe problem. What in the world is happening 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:57.040 with it? 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:57.360 Now? 0:10:57.920 --> 0:10:59.280 Is this going to be a lost year for Chase 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:00.400 to larantinoed up? 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.400 Well? Last year was too he Yeah, that's why he 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.280 was in the AFL. He lost so much time. I 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.199 don't know, man, I actually think. I mean, he's leading 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.160 himself into a spot where it's like you go back 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:12.600 to the AFL. Why do you go to the AFL 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.640 because you missed all this time? The dude has I mean, 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.959 I've had a turftill. Actually it's like a it's horrible. 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.319 It can linger and linger. He'said the ankle thing. He's 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.040 got this. Yeah, this is this is the idea of 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.120 a lost season because the Guardians, they're not making any 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:32.000 big move. They the opportunity when like Estevan Florio got cut, 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.559 would have happened, Kuan is coming back. They might make 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.760 some more moves. I is optimistic because I was about 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.280 Chase Slatter, one of the biggest on him this year 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.080 is really really cut and affected as far as what 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.960 the value is probably a really great dynasty buy for 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.000 the future because you know you'll get that figured out. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.599 It's not gonna be long standing for a career or 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.719 anything like that. But it's disastrous that what's wrong with 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.160 his feet? Get your feet figured out. 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:00.120 That's right, especially since the House of Dragon season two 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:01.439 was coming out soon. You want to get all the 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:02.559 foot stuff. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:03.280 Out of the way. 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.240 Now. Speaking of buying players, yeah, that's right. It's a 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:08.720 good show. It's actually a little dissip. 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.240 But what's the foot I don't know the foot thing? 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.000 Did you watch season one? I don't remember what was 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:14.760 that guy had a weird foot fetish thing. Don't you 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.520 remember that guy, the weird like creepy guy who was 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:23.200 like the guarantinum No, not Rex Ryan either, No, it 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.319 was the guy. He was like the hand of the 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.360 queen or whatever it was. He was like working more 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:34.080 like it. I wanked right into that one. Well done, touche, 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.560 my friend. Speaking of buying players, we just talked about Jackson, Cheerio, 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:41.600 and for more on players to buy, including Cheerio, let's 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:45.400 talk a little trades with me and the Welsh. It's 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.200 week twelve, so Welsh, it's time to look at the 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.240 by Lows and the cell Highs and some other players 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.800 we have that might be available. We're putting together our 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.040 weekly Bilo Sell High on fancay ros dot com. You 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:57.439 can check that out right now. The article should be 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:01.040 out any minute now. So Welsh, what do you have 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:03.160 for the folks this week in terms of players that 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:05.760 you're looking to get rid of or to acquire. 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.840 We've got a couple players that are on my trade 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.080 by list. If you guys have been following all season long, Hey, 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.400 Gunner Henderson was the feature of this at the beginning 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.000 of the year. So I like to get some wins 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.360 and hopefully to get you guys some wins in this 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.760 trade market. Some of you're gonna roll your eyes thought 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.800 where I'm gonna go with this, because I have talked 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.440 about this guy before. But I got some reasonings on 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:33.320 the buy O'Neal cruise. We are back into buying O'Neal cruise. 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.440 You want to know why to because O'Neill is on 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:38.840 that downtick. He has been kind of in that like 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.960 no one's really interested everyone kind of feels that O'Neal 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.280 Cruz is just kind of capped, but there's been some optimism. 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.559 So since May one, he's hitting two fifty five. That's huge. 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.560 Getting over the two to fifty marker is absolutely big 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.800 for O'Neal cruise. He's also even bigger, cut his k 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:01.880 percentage to under thirty percent. May he's had six homers 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.400 and two stolen bases. And here's a big one. We 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.480 did a big old look at bat speed and trying 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.120 to find the correlations of it. On the most recent 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:14.800 in this league, he increased his bat speed by a 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.160 pretty wide margin. He was already like the second highest 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:22.280 in bat speed in baseball behind John Carlo Stanton. In April, 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:26.320 he had a seventy seven point five average average bat 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:29.840 speed miles per hour on you know, on his actual swing. 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.960 In April he hit two twenty three with three homers 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.360 and a thirty six percent K percentage. So that was 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.480 with that seventy seven point five. Starting in May, he 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.640 increased that bat speed up to seventy eight point three, 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.280 second best in baseball, so an almost full mile an 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.320 hour increase on his bat speed. That equated to six 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.960 homers and a lowered k rate. So I think he's 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.280 trending in a really great direction right now. And I 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.000 know you're not the biggest O'Neil Cruz guy on the planet, 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.000 but you get batting average up, you get k's going down, 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:06.840 Homer's happening, and ceiling bases. I think there's no big 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.720 excitement around O'Neil Cruz, which makes him such a great 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:10.560 buy right now. Joe. 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.520 Look, I think Cruz is talented. I think what's happening 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:18.320 this year is the repercussions of not playing last year. 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.000 I think that at the end of the day, that's 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:21.600 what is really hurting him. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:21.720 Now. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.920 Maybe in the second half, you know, after he's had 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.680 a few hundred at bats, maybe he's gonna start pull 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.320 himself out of it. You're giving out some good numbers 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.120 there on him now. Last week I said, I liked 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.240 what I saw at Jackson Cheerio starting to look like 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.080 he was figuring things out a little bit. Went yard 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.720 yesterday again a young player. Maybe we are not always 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:41.520 giving enough patience to some of these young players, But 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.040 you're looking at Cheerio the way I am. I believe 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:44.400 as well. 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.680 Yes, yeah, he is number two on this list as 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.480 a bye. He's hitting three hundred in June right now. 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.160 He had a thirty two percent k percentage in April, 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:56.160 very O'Neil cruz esque early on, but since then he's 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.200 cut it nineteen percent in May and it's nineteen It 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.800 was actually nineteen point one and then nineteen percent so 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.720 far in June. Another one of these who increased his 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.000 bat speed as well. April, he had a solid I 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.520 think Ino Serius has kind of marked like seventy three 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:14.480 miles per hour average on your bat speed is like 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:16.920 that's good, that's like where you want it. That's what 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:19.120 he had in April, but since May he increased it 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.240 to seventy four miles part so he added a full 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.840 mile per hour to that bat speed. That also can 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:27.880 correlate to feeling more comfortable, and that might be something 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.160 that shows these guys are seeing the ball better. We 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.240 don't really know what the correlation is. Is it either 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.400 you know, he's just increased the bat speed and it's 0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:37.880 created those results, or he's seeing those things which has 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.560 created the bat speed. We don't know Chicken or the 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.080 egg situation. But we do know is there's an increase 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.800 with that the results he lowered his strikeout percentage, and 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.320 he had a fifty point bump on his average since May. 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.960 It still wasn't great, but a fifty point bump. He's 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.280 currently sitting on seven homer, seven stolen bases, and though 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.200 you said, like I don't know what the numbers will be, 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.600 legit shot to be a twenty twenty guy. So I 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.720 think Jackson Curio it's a really solid time because again, 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.960 kind of like oneal cruise, I'm not talking about players 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.680 that just stink. You know, I'll go buy this stinky 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.879 old sock and it's going to turn into a golden shoe. No, 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.520 it's like these are like fine players that people don't 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.960 have probably crazy attachments to in redraft, that I'm buying 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.480 because they're making really big changes. This last one's going 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:21.040 to weird. 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.480 You out, though, Joe, Okay, Well, I like the first 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.399 two well because what I like the first two is 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:27.840 you're betting on talent and you're betting on youth to 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.200 figure things out, and I think that is always a 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.480 good investment, especially now that we're not talking draft season. 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.160 We're talking about we're at the you know, two thirds 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:36.639 of the way excuse me, a third of the way 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:38.679 through the season right now. So if you're going to 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.160 buy on players, buy on the young kids who still 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.200 have upsides, still have development to do with the majorague level, 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:46.480 and could go further supposed to buying guys that might 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.960 be towards the end, or guys who are starting to 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:50.439 fall off a little bit. I think that you know, 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.040 we're not buying the Nolan Arnaudo's of the world right now. 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:54.720 We're buying the Jackson Churios of the world. 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.280 Now, We're not buying the Nolan Aarrow. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.000 So who's going to creep me out? Who's the guy 0:17:58.000 --> 0:17:59.960 that you want to buy and bring over? And I'm 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:01.479 going to like this, who is it? 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:07.639 Pitcher? Ryan Weathers? Interest I should have gone Marlin's pitcher 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:09.199 and then you would have been like, Jesus, is that 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:13.639
