Some 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.680 of our industry friends are in this draft. And even 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.839 Mike Mayor somehow coerced himself into this draft. I'm not 0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:50.120 sure how it happened, but he begged to be in it, 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.360 so we let him be in it too. And today 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.520 we're gonna go through a fun five by five. We're 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:56.400 not gonna do bench. We're gonna keep things moving here. 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.760 It's gonna be a smaller draft because we've got people 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.960 in the draft US quickclock as well, so Welsh thirty 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.360 second clock.

Absolutely no time to think I am the 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.200 quickest draw in the West, no auto drafting.

I am drafting 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.640 from the twelve spot. Welsh, where are you drafting from today? Draft? 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.960 You're in Yeah, I'm in three. I'm gonna be coming 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:11.440 up here soon. Did you say, is this roto or 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:12.040 head to head? 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.600 This is rodo this is head to head roto season long. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:16.600 That's where we're at right. 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:17.920 Now, poifect. 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.000 Yes, I am drafted. I actually drafted from the three 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:24.159 spot for a very particular reason. And I don't know 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.200 if you want me to wait until I'm up to 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.160 do it, but I do have a particular reason why 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:29.360 I wanted to take that spot. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.640 Well, you can share that with us. I'm gonna run through. 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.560 We got Rugged ninety two, Christian Crespo, the Welsh at three, 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.720 Go Cards from our discard at four, Mike Mayer at five, 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.040 we got my boy Mason, my wrestling podcast Fanatic. At 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.200 one oh six, we got Adla Godillo, one of our 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.360 favorite people over on on Discord two. And then we've 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.599 got who else do we have here? We have Josh, 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.200 we have Tom, We have a lot of people here. 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.680 We got wonky penguin and this bad boy and we 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.840 are off and running. Fernando Tatist Junior goes one, Trey 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.480 Turner goes to Welsh. Why how did you want to 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.000 pick three? Make your pick and then give us the reason. 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:04.559 Because of the guy I'm going to take right here, 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:10.400 Ronald d'acunya Junior at three, because a shortened season, even 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.080 if it's not shortened and they just back end it 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.680 and we push a couple of weeks, is only a 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.240 benefit to Ronald acunya Junior. A lot of projections round 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.839 one hundred and thirty five hundred and forty games, well, 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.080 a lot of that is just based off of the beginning. 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:25.760 Because he's recovering from an injury. He's on more of 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.599 a leving level playing field than he's been before. Now 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.720 projections also one hundred and thirty game are wild. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.560 I love the idea of a. 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.520 Couple extra weeks of rest, at least you know rest, 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.120 I say, a recovery for ronald'acunya, and I think that 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.680 makes him a top five pick. We talked about it 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.040 in the last episode, and I'm comfortable taking him three, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.000 especially when I'm chasing stolen bases. So I love Ronald 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:47.640 Dacunya at three here. 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.400 Now I love it too, And we talked about that 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.120 a little bit on the last show, which was very fun. 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.919 So after Acunya goes, my boy Wan Soto, what a 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:58.799 deal at the fourth pick. Then Jose Ramirez, Vlad Guerrero 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.599 goes next a Deel Gadillo so ends up taking Garrett Cole. 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.120 After Vlad Guerrero goes, so we do get the picture here, 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.000 then Boba Schett after that. You know, what do you 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.960 think about taking Garrett Cole in the first round? Is 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.400 that something you would even entertain in that middle to 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.560 late spot, no matter what the situation is. 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.400 Well, no matter what, I'm not so sure about that Roto, Yeah, 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.000 for sure I would in that situation when like Michett's 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:23.160 still on the board. I don't know. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:24.480 I probably don't. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.719 In a twelve man, it's a relatively like level playing 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.520 field as far as like the pitchers go. I'm more 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.560 of a Garrett Cole like nine or ten guy. But 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.040 if your strategy is in I'm comfortable with Garrett Cole. 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.000 Especially if the big dogs, the big six are gone, 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:39.880 I easily think you can do that. It'd be interesting 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.200 to see if he does a pocket ASA strategy with 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.200 a Sures or or Bueller coming back and just dominate 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:46.880 with pitching all. 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.240 Right after Garrett Cole Boba Schett, then Bryce Harper go 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.920 as we continue to look through here and look, this 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.719 is is fun. It's fun to get actual people in 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.320 this with us. I am now up on the clock. 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.080 I've got Mike Trout, I've got show. Hey, Otani, I 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.920 could just double dip with the angels here. What do 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:06.720 you think of that strategy? I kind of like that, 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:10.840 And since o'tani is pitcher ndh here, I'm gonna go 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:13.080 ahead and take my boy show Hey, I'm gonna go 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.120 do that fill that spot, and then I've got some 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.880 options here. Freddie Freeman, Dever's Mike Trout. You know, I 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.480 got this feeling like eventually the Mike Trout things got 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.040 to work out. Mookie BET's still on the board as well. 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:27.360 Do I want to take a little bit more of 0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:28.880 the stolen bases or I want to just take the 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:30.600 big boy in the big bat. I think I want 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:31.960 to take the big boy in the big back. His 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.560 chicks dig the long ball, So give me Mike Trout, 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.440 Joe Atani double dipping on the angels, what do you 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:37.280 think of? That'st love. 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.360 I love that. I'm still gonna bet on Trout. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.040 I take those type of It's the only other person 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.640 I would have given like real consideration for was Ozzie 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.960 Albi's there. Albi's and Otani would have been a six start. 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:48.360 But I love it. I still love it. 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.120 I think Trout is again you talk about who are 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:55.200 the guys that benefit from if games are actually you know, 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.240 brought down a little bit. If that actually happens, well, 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.160 less games Mike Trout to get hurt, that's good, plus 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.640 just the season start push after. I got no issue 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.240 with this whatsoever. I know the trendy sharp thing is 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.320 like people don't want to take Trout. Mookie's falling a 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:08.880 whole bunch. 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:10.239 I still love the pick. 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:15.320 But Oziluki didn't fall too far because after Bobaschet, Bryce Harper, 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.240 Kyle Tucker, Corbyn Burns went in the first round, then 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.040 I took Otani and Trout, Mookie Betts went directly after 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.440 Devers went directly after that. As we loop around to 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.280 the second round here, Welsh Josh is up on the clock. 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.600 Next he takes Max Schurzer, So Surezer, Garrett Cole, two 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.800 big pictures off the board. Tom then takes Jacob de Grom. 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.360 Look at this group. They are flying through this. See. 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:37.080 I knew we picked the right people to do this today. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.760 I'm so proud of our listeners here at Fantasy Pros 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.400 and the MLB side of things. Adell is up next, 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.000 and this is great because you got people who are 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.960 lunatic baseball people. And I know Adell told me this 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:50.040 is his first year playing fantasy baseball in years and 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.720 he wants to get back into it. So we wanted 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:52.960 to be a part of it, and I said, come on, 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.880 it is a perfect opportunity to stretch the muscles a 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.920 little bit and get out there and run on the 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.120 backfields and do a little mock draft with us in 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.960 the Wizard. He takes Freddy Freeman, Garrett Cole, Frey Freeman, 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.120 not too shabby. Mason's up next with the following pick. So, Welsh, 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.400 what do you have your eye on right now? 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.640 Alby's so bad, Like I'm just like I'm sitting here. 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.800 No, well he's gone. Mason took him your. 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.240 Heart, Mason, I wanted Alvi's so bad. See and that's 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:23.000 a situations. Oh god, and Mayor just took Robert all right. Yeah, 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.400 it's just one of those situations where you don't think 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.199 a guy's gonna get there, but then he starts to 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.800 and then your hopes, oh to your hopes and dreams 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:30.960 hoops down the drain. 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:32.439 That's how that went here. 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.760 Uh yeah, one more pick to make it to you go. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.680 Cards just took Walker cooler. Now you are on the clock, Welsh. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:42.680 They just murdered the cue here. I think I'm just 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:46.040 giving a little peaky peek here. Ah man, I mean 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:47.440 it was all the guys that I wanted to. 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.600 You only got fifteen seconds of the thirty second draft. 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:57.480 Come on, yeah, yeah, alright, let's just get with a 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.400 high end pitcher. We got no issue with it. We'll 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:00.119 go with Brandwood. 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:02.480 Not a bad choice. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.160 I don't love it. I would have loved to have Buehler. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.199 Just that that's one of those situations, just like nothing 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:07.760 worked out there, nothing. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.959 And that happens. This is what happens when you draft 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.160 with our listeners. It's really really tough here over a 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.640 fantasy pro so very sharp. The peanuts in the Crackerjack. 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.040 I think you'll like this pick more. If you have 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.839 a little picture run here. If like you know, if 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.920 if rug it up top takes one picture and Cresbo 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.960 takes a picture, I think that you might feel better. 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.240 About that, would better about it. 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.480 Sure, Machado just went at two eleven, So two twelve 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.360 and two, I'm sorry. Three oh one. We are waiting 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.400 for the double dip here. He's got the four seconds 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.679 to make this pick and hopefully we'll get that in. 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:41.800 Did we get it in on z Hope? So? Uh, 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.559 Wheeler and Marte. So those are the two picks, and 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:46.960 now it's back to Crespo. So one of the pictures 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:48.679 did go? I tell you, if you get another picture here, 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.120 I think you. I think you did the right thing. 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.000 If Bieber flies off the board or something like that, 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:53.160 well I think you can live with that. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.760 Actually, Bieber might be the pick here that I'm going with. 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.880 I'm comfortable adjusting on the fly taking akunya. Then if 0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:01.880 I were to come in here with two, well no, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.480 it's not nothing works out for me. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.440 Come on, they were off the board no longer revealed. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.280 What is your guys' problem. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.880 We're just a tough room man. This is how we 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.000 groom them. This is like, you know, I had to hear. 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.520 This is what the peanuts and the crackerjacks are all about. 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.120 This is what you're gonna get exposed to you five 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.440 days a week. My friend, so Welsh has ten seconds 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.040 to make his pick in the third round. You liked 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.520 how it started. He was very happy. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.040 I love to come. I'm like, oh, look at me, 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.800 I'm gonna have a coon. This is gonna be so fun. 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.199 We'll talk about it. Everything is not fun right now. 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.040 So who's the pick? Well? 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.760 I took Joran Alvarez, a big, big power, big power bat. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.480 Well, a couple can't go wrong there, right, No, No. 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:38.120 It's fine. 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.040 I would I just would have liked to jump in 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:44.120 that strategy a little bit earlier, of like either. Okay, 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:45.840 so here were two guys I was considering. I was 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:50.480 considering Cedric Mullens and wit Merrifield simply because I would 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.840 have loved to have either had two elite starting pitchers 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.560 since I had made the commitment to Woodroffe, or I 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.080 could have gone with elite stolen bases. And that's why 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.960 maybe I would have taken Wit to go with a coon. 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.240 That would have felt really good. Now I feel kind 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.280 of open ended, which is all right, and there goes 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.080 Cedric Mullens the next pick, followed by Marcus Simeon. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.000 So I would have taken Alvarez over Mullens as well. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.079 I want the power. You can never have enough power 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.840 stolen bases. Look, I know they're at a premium because 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.480 that many guys, but again you could piece that together 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.440 with bulk. I think you know, five from this guy, 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.360 ten from this guy. I think you can make that work. 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:26.199 Marcus Simeon goes next after Cedric Mullins, and Julio Urias 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.400 goes next to three h six to Mason. So Adele 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.800 is up next on the board. Hello, Adele, you're up? 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:36.760 What's uh me? You know, here's the thing. You know, 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.480 this is why I like drafting at the book end 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.640 because to me, you know, you basically sit there, you 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.320 wait it out, and then you see what the run was, 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.079 and then you try to pivot off of it. In 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.880 my opinion, if I can get one of the pictures 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.960 that I still think is somebody that I really believe in, 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.520 the problem is we're down to that. You know, Do 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.560 I believe in Robbie Ray is an ace group? Do 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:01.240 I believe in Aaron Nola is an ace group. Probably not, 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.520 but if I double dip two of those guys, perhaps 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.640 that's a way to go. And keep in mind too, 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.400 I already have Otani, so I am less apt to 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:14.199 necessarily run that. Necessarily, I could go double dip here 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:15.160 on the hitters as. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:19.400 Well, oh Man, Eric, Austin Riley, Aaron Judge, Tasker, Hernandez. 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:22.960 That is an insanely good run of offense. I actually 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.079 gave serious consideration to Aaron Judge on my last pick. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:31.520 Then Tim Anderson and quit Merrifield right and hit you 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.440 Joe cool wit. 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.240 Cool whit. I've been doing something that I haven't been 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.640 doing a lot of in the past, but I've been 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.360 taking a lot of sal Perez. And I know it's 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.559 only one catcher, but I'm gonna take sal Perez here 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.840 with one of my picks because I love the fact 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.920 that he dh is so much. That's just that's just 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.280 money in the bank. Extra spots there, So Trout, Otani, 0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.839 Xander Bogart's, Matt Olsen. Those are the top guys on 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:01.000 the board in terms of pitchers as well. For me, 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.560 I think I'm gonna go with a picture here if 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.800 I can get it to just a you're faster. Come on, 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.080 let's go picture. I'm gonna go ahead, and I'm gonna 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.560 believe in Robbie Ray. How about that, Let's go I'm 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.760 gonna believe in Robby Ray and see what happens there. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.360 So sal Perez, Mike trout Otani, Robbie Ray. That's how 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.360 I'm starting. Xander Bogart's no surprise. Jerry takes him next 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.840 in the four two spot. Now four oh three, Wonky Penguin, 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.400 who spent together a nice team, Kyle Tucker, Raphael Deveres, 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.720 Tim Anderson. She goes Lucas Giolito, who's the other picture 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.040 I was considering. She's probably right because the wonkye Penguin's 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.480 always smarter than me. Kelly's a genius. Aaron Nola goes 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.640 next tier to Josh at four oh four. Then four 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.240 oh five. We have to wait a few more picks 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.360 to get to Welsh. So Welsh, what are you kind 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.360 of strategizing now here in this fourth round? 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.200 First off, Love, Wonky Penguin's name absolutely Love. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.280 She's the best you know me and she's now contributing. 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.240 She started out as a cracker, a peanut, and a 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.520 cracker jack. He as a cracker and then we put 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.680 some what's a nice cheese on top, and then and 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:03.840 then we served to our derves. No. No, she started out 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.800 as one of our peanuts and cracker jacks last year. 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.760 She's such a baseball genius. I love that now she's 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:10.600 writing for us. I mean, look at that. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.120 My first name is Thus, so I'm all about this, 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:14.960 so I love her fun names. 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:15.960 I am going. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.240 I have been consistently doing this, even though it's super uncomfortable. 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:23.640 I'm one hundred percent gonna start this closer thing because the. 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.440 Closers are gonna go. This is rodo. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:29.880 You've got to jump in early, especially at this stage 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.320 that we're at where we don't know so many jobs, 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:36.320 and we also know there's going to have rotations of closers. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.040 That I'm comfortable at this point because even every time 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.240 I do this, even when I build my starters up later, 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.520 it's all good. So you know, I've got two good hitters. 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:50.240 I've got Branda Woodruff. I'm absolutely gonna smack Liam Hendricks here, 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.480 and if he doesn't go, I will take Hater right 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:53.320 after that as well. 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:58.840 All right, he doesn't We had Lucas Gielito, Go than 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:02.600 Aaron Nola, Nolan, Earnardo, Trevor's story, Alex Bregman, Matt Olsen, 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:07.200 Paul Goldschmidt, little Mini run there at go Karts, took 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.000 his boy, Paul Goldschmitt. And then Welsh goes ahead and 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.360 he's a man of his word. Liam Hendrix off the board. 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:15.840 Sandy Alcntra goes next. Now we have rugged for two picks, 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:19.160 Lindor and Castianos. It is now back to Christian who 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:22.920 takes Josh Hader reacting to the Welsh. He couldn't get both. 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.400 Crespo is really sticking it to your Crespo. 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.040 Crespo is a pain in my side right now that 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:31.640 I mean he saw it coming. I mean I kind 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.160 of felt like that was going to happen. 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:34.520 So here's what I'm gonna do. 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.280 Though, I think in a lot of normal spots I 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.000 would not be able to get away with this. 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:41.920 Oh man, I gotta go, go, go, go go go. 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.400 Let's go with more big power. Let's go with Pete Alnzo. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.560 So nice. That's a very good pick there. I like this. 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.120 I think the play. I want to test this out 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.280 to see how this room is. I think the play 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:58.680 is even regardless that hater went, I probably needed to 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.040 reach a little bit to go get that next closer. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.080 I didn't necessarily want to. I'm gonna see if it 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:05.600 comes back and I can still get one of those 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.000 elite guys. But the idea is that I just started 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:09.960 the run, so I don't want to wait too long. 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.120 I want to get in on this, but I'm gonna 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:13.879 see if one comes back to me. But the play 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.560 probably was taking in my eyes of Manuel class, some 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.480 people rise Iglesias and Freddy Peralta going and Randy Ara. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:24.200 I know, Freddy Perolta goes to go cars. Who sticks 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.520 it to me again? One of our favorite listeners and 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.080 interactors with the show.

But you gotta 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:52.040
