WEBVTT - MLB: Leading Off May 13th, 2022 (Ep. 510) 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:17.640 MVP race getting hot, Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:20.319 to Fantasy Probes. This is leading off, brought to you 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.160 by bet MGM, the King of sports Books. It's b 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.000 Joey p joe Pi's apa with me is the Welsh, 0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.280 and of course it's you, and it's a fun Friday. 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.360 It's Friday the thirteenth, so things might get a little 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.400 scary here today on the program Welsh. You never know 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:34.080 how that might go. 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.000 Are you are you stitious? Are you super Are you 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.720 just a little stitious on thirteenth type things? 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.440 No, not at all. Don't care anything about any of 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.680 that stuff. Don't care. No, not interested, not interest at all. 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.800 In fact, I am the opposite. I'm the person who's 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:52.040 always like making people more paranoid about those kind of 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.440 things because I like to make fun of superstitions and 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.120 people like if life was that easy and things worked 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.880 out where they were superstitions and things like that, we'd 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.800 all be doing them and everyone's life would be great. 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.839 It's like, I never understood why the people who call themselves, 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.000 you know, clairvoyant, all of them, for some reason, aren't 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.760 living in huge mansions and enormous places. They were like 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.319 out on Staten Island and you know some kind of condo. 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:16.560 I don't understand why that is. 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.080 Or in Sidona where I just was. They're in Cidona 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.160 in like a hut that's purple and its crystals. They 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.880 sell crystals as well, by the. 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:27.240 Way, Oh oh well, you know, well the crystals. That's 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:28.400 different that that stuff works. 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.360 Oh so you're a crystal guy. You're not stitious, but 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.600 you're a crystal guy. Gotcha, kid, Everybody just make sure 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.920 you know Joe noted crystal guy, not stitious. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.640 I kid, I kid, I kid. But anyway, we we 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.000 just got a great show for you, as always say, 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.319 we'll get to the headlines. Also, I just came fresh 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:47.240 from my daughter's school, as you could still I still 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:51.480 got the visitor patch here over there. Talking to the children, 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:56.720 shaping young minds about careers and media. That's basically and 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.920 using literacy, which is funny because we know. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.160 Doll talk good, you know talk what literacy did you do? 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.240 Actually we talked about the books. We talked about the 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.680 Black Book, We talked about transitioning the Black Book, how 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.960 that became a radio job and eventually became television and 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.040 other things like that, and you know, what I mean. 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:17.720 I can envision this moment. We were standing up there 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:18.720 and you're just like. 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.079 All right, everybody, this is what our PV is. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.680 Let me, let me explain, let me break down. Like 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.400 I could see you talking to the kids. There's like 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.920 one kid that's jotting it down and everybody else is like, 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:28.919 what's happening here? 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.920 No, no, no, no RPV talk. But it was it 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.120 was fun. Shout out to my daughter's class too, and 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:37.560 sick Grade. Good times there, and the kids had a 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:39.720 good time. I made them do some reads though, some 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:45.240 mad reads, and I showed Manscape. No, no Manscape reads. 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.919 They're kids, so we did the serial read. That's what gotcha. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.639 You know what, good choice, Good choice on you for. 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.000 Not doing Manscape. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.240 I like this one, doctor Glenn says. Joey p is 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.480 the Mike Mayor of Superstitions. I like that. 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:00.520 You know fun. 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.920 If you would have done the bet MGM one, you 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.119 could have put the crown on. You know, kids would 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.440 have probably been excited about that. Again, probably good choice 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.359 that you didn't with any of those, but I'm just 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:11.280 putting it out there. 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.000 All would be a great skit. 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.240 By the way, this is like built out of a 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:18.320 comedy skit of like going in and like kids are 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.880 gonna practice some podcast aterids today, and it's like, all 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.640 right over here, you guys got Lucy, you got the 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.560 man skate it just it writes itself, Joe. 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.320 It does. It does. Omaha steaks coming soon to the 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.519 program into our houses, which is great. I can't believe 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.800 they're wasting Omaha steaks on you either. What are you 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:36.800 doing with them as a vegetarian and he's giving them 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:37.800 away to somebody or what? 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:38.720 Yeah? 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.320 Which is something fun with them? Yeah, we'll do something fun. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.600 All right. I know I'm gonna eat him. That's the 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.480 fun thing I'm gonna do. Let's get to the headlines, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.120 and well, I'm a little depressed because I told you 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.040 yesterday I had the Bryce Harper thing all laid out. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.440 I was like, he's going against a lefty. These odds 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.280 are amazing. Let's parlay to thegether together. And I was like, 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.200 but then I look at his numbers against lefties, even 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:01.280 sit it on the show, and I said, look, if 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.080 you want to have fun, play it, but I'm not 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.520 going to officially sanction it. I had it up on DraftKings. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.760 I wish I had made the investment. The problem is, 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:10.960 right after the show, I read that other thing about 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.600 Bryce Harper's got a tear and he's uca, yeah. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.680 Well, you know our guys alone, our fantasy the Fantasy 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.719 pros and MLB account which Fantasyroposa got a whole bunch 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.800 of great accounts to follow. They were a little a 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.479 little loose with it because there was just a report. 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.080 I hadn't even seen any of the Bryce Harper stuff. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.160 And then one of the blurb tweets that needed a 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.440 little bit more detail, if we're being honest, was just 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:37.279 like Bryce Harper UCL injury won't throw for four weeks. 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.160 And I was like, oh my god, I'm like, wait, what, 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.159 why is nobody talking about Bryce Harper? And I was like, oh, well, 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.960 because he's going to DH for that time. But I 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.960 had had a little mini panic attack with that little blurb. 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.800 But thank god he was out there and justified why 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.560 you would probably move away from Bryce Harper in nonset 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.680 just to see how he reacts and into the story. 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:59.160 Spoiler alert, he reacted pretty well. 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.560 Yeah. Well, like I said, I hope somebody out there 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.320 played it. If you did, hit me up on Twitter 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:06.920 and show me a screenshot and let me know how 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.960 much money you made or that I made you that 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.560 I did not partake in, because that's the worst. Now, 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:12.960 the only thing that made me feel better is that 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.279 Jordan Alva has hit not one, but two home runs yesterday. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.560 Let's go, baby, how about that? That was my two? 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.039 I'm up to five? Now? 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.599 Did you up with me? 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:21.920 Now? 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:22.800 That sucked? 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.520 Sorry, we're I think Mayor has five too, if memory 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.520 he's got five or seven or something like that. I 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.360 don't know, Mayor, how many home runs do you have? 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.279 But that's the only thing that made yesterday palatable. Joe 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.560 carl Stanton homer twice in the Yankees victory. Aaron Judge 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.799 at a ball that hasn't left yet. He's got eleven 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.159 home runs, leads a league. Dylan c strikes out eleven 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.040 in a no decision. Hiras Stevenson has three hits and 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.640 a homer versus the Pirates. But again, Jordan Alvarez with 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.599 the two dangers. That's all I want to talk about. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.479 Injuries Jeremy Pania with the knee, unlikely to play on 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:57.599 Friday against the Nats Philadelphia. Tests reveal again that Bryce 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.800 Harper small ucl tear So here's the thing with the 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.719 Harper stuff. I mean, he's going clearly, he's hitting fine, 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.720 so it's not bothering him. So I'm not concerned about this. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.039 Are you concerned about this at all? This injury because 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.320 doesn't feel like it's going to affect him fantasy wise. 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:12.040 I mean of anything. 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.719 There's such a huge win for the DH crowd out 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.560 here because like, imagine if this injury had gone on 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.160 with the DH not in place, you know, we would 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.480 be losing one of the superstars in baseball for over 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.640 a month, and is giving an opportunity for it. So 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.279 I don't know. I mean, we got the reaction, we 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.480 saw how he would It looked phenomenal. It looked as 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.600 good as he usually does. Crushed bomb. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:36.719 Think he'll be all right. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.440 It will be interesting to see how he reacts, like 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.560 full fledge from not being on the field, from that 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.680 competitive nature. I'd also like to know if he's gonna run. 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:45.400 So I don't know. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.760 I mean, maybe like the itsy bitsy slightest, I might 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.000 be worried, but he looked good. He's still gonna do 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.360 his Brice Harper stuff. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.320 Hidden Homer's off lefties looks pretty good to me and yes, Mark, 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.600 I see you. You can drop us another trivia question here, 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.680 of course, their injuries here, Casey Mize struggled in his rehabs, 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.520 start with triple A. Zach Wheeler comes off the COVID 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.080 list and he's going to start against the Dodgers. Here's 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.560 a question for you in the category of can we 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:12.120 talk about this? 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:13.880 Is this too soon? 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.480 I saw this tweet yesterday Anthony Dicomo had a tweet, 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.840 and then John Hayman had a quote tweet. So John 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.160 Hayman on the quote tweet wagon here. 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:23.360 So now it's really serious. 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:26.400 So now it's really serious. In today's newsletter revisiting the 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.920 Jared Kelenick three way trade a few years later, on 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.840 the heels of Robin Consono's Canoe's release and Jared Kellennick's 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:39.360 return to Flushing. Here is then the John Hayman retweet 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:42.120 of this in the quote quote tweet, excuse me? Is 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.520 John Hayman just says flat out Mets won the Kelenick 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.520 cano Das trade. There I said it. Met's got a 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.240 three point six war and a closer M's got a 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.200 negative point two war and a one seventy three hitting 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:59.400 young outfielder. Don't at me, boy, John Hayman soul what 0:07:59.520 --> 0:07:59.800 it is? 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:00.920 This? 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.960 This is like the this is the most like millennial 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:08.000 like there I said, it's got all thes in it, like, 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.920 don't at me there, I said it like all right. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:11.080 All right? 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.360 John Hayman's daughter who wrote this clearly put it together 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.400 for him. I don't know, Like it's fine. It still 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.320 is a weird trade, I think in general. 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.200 But yeah, I think you can. I think you can. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.560 You don't need to put canoe in there, by the way, 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:29.160 suspensions alone, but you could just put exactly Edwin Diaz 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.520 alone in there and go, well, you know, this guy's 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.680 been shutting down games for this team. This is exactly 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.480 what they needed. They won, all right, that's fine. 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:37.000 I don't know. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:38.240 I just think it is too early. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.720 Kelnick, I mean, kelic looks just atrocious right now. But 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.319 I think you need like a year or two more 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.160 to really be able to look back on it. But 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.800 if you want to like be a victory lap, that's fine, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.960 But like what a what a dumb tweet? 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.120 What a ridiculously stupid victory lap? 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.440 When is hitting one seventy and you know, like under 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.240 one hundred and sixty games, and he's like, there I 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.120 said it. Like everybody is sitting around the table being like, man, 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.720 I wonder if anyone's ever gonna say the Mets won. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.199 And Hayman's like, I'll be your hero, Like. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.600 Shut up. I think I would say this. If the 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.439 Mets win a World Series with Diaz, no matter what 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:16.520 Kellenick does, the Mets will have won that trade. Yeah. 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.360 I mean that's the standard of that. He's closing the 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:21.959 winning game of the World Series for the New York 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.679 Mets in twenty twenty two or next year. It doesn't 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:26.720 matter what Jared Kelnick does for the next ten years. 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.800 If he becomes a really good player, it doesn't matter. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.800 You want to know how hard it's gonna be for 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.959 the Mariners to win this trade. If you're going to 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.840 get into this space of winning the trade right now, 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.319 it's gonna be impossible because Kelink's gonna have to be 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:41.840 an All star. The Mets served a need, and it 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:43.600 was for the back end of the bullpen and someone 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.280 to close out games for heavily invested pitchers in Ja 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.120 de Gram when he's there and Max Scherz er like 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.439 at the end of the day, like that's what trades 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.440 are all about. It actually reminds me of like fantasy 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.600 trades and we're talking about where everyone's like, ah, I 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.640 won that trade, and it's like, I don't know the 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.400 winner is by I have the beholder in the need 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.560 of what you have. Obviously, if you if you were 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.920 the White Sox and you trade Fernando Tazi Stunior for 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.960 James Shields, you look like big dummies. But other than that, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.439 like everyone needs the winners. The same thing has happened 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:17.320 with the Diamondbacks, with the whole Zach Gallon and Jazz Chisholm. 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:17.760 Who won. 0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:18.960 Oh, this is a fair trade. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.200 It's just like, okay, whatever. 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.800 I don't think it requires big quote tweets and articles. 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.360 It's fun maybe to go back, and I enjoy going 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.920 back and looking at trade acquisitions and stuff like that. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:32.160 But like the quote tweet of Victory Lapping with all 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.600 of the millennial trope sayings. 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.600 Is I'm over that. 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.040 I think that's pretty stupid. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.880 I think it's hilarious. That's why I pulled it for 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.880 the show. I was like, this is hysterical. We got 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.920 to quote tweet my professional journalists, no less on another 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:51.120 professional journalist so bizarre. All right, MVP, wat there don't 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:57.840 at me? God, the thirteenth of May. Make Trout has 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.520 played out of his mind. Jose Ramirez, same Aaron Judge 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.880 Lee in the league in home runs, Lad's been amazing, 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.440 But none of them are pitching. So I'll put this 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:10.840 to you. Welsh American League MVP on the thirteenth of 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.880 May is two. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.160 At this moment. Oh man, I think it's true. You 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:17.920 gotta say Trout, but. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:20.880 Boo, wrong answer. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:26.120 It's I mean, it's it's or Otani because he's been 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.839 I mean, he's been pretty dang good pitching all year 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.439 and he's been phenomenal hitting. It's one of those two, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.680 so I don't I don't necessarily disagree. But Trout has 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.280 been absolutely incredible this year. I mean, he's healthy, he's 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.360 putting up the Trout stats. But to the point, like 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.360 in the preseason, it doesn't almost matter what anybody does 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:48.160 at this point. When Trout or when Otani's out there 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.920 pitching one hundred and fifty innings and striking out two hundred, 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.800 as long as he hits at least two sixty with 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.120 twenty homers, the guy's gonna win MVP. So yeah, I'm 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:56.360 with you. 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.040 I mean, it's it's still Otani. I hate to break 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.320 it to everybody because Trout is picking up the ball 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:05.600 of your fifth day to make some starts. Then no, like, 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.920 I don't care whatever he's got. This is like last 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.960 year too, when Vlad was gonna win the Triple Crown 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.640 and people were talking about that, and I was like, 0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:14.959 he can win the Triple Crown. Doesn't matter if he's 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.560 gonna make twenty five starts. It doesn't I'm telling you, 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:23.200 it doesn't matter if you anybody who's hitting well and 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.560 pitching better, even arguably right now, I mean it's crazy. 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.240 By the way, I'm just looking on betting pros right now, 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:33.240 Otani still has the best odds of anybody for any MVP. 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.520 He is at plus two hundred over on Betting Pros 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:39.280 bet MGM at plus ten, So you can still get 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.200 two to one, and as long as you can still 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.680 get before this goes minus again like last year, the 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.600 more those starts go up, that minus is going to happen. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.760 I'm telling you, once that threshold gets the fifteen twenty starts, 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:51.480 forget it. It's gone. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:52.120 Yeah, I agree. 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.560 When you get into like June or probably like July 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.000 and he's still striking out ten and like four innings 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.120 and stuff like that. It's gonna be hard to it's 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:01.320 gonna be hard to keep him off of that. 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.040 It really all right, Let's let's do the National League, okay, 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:09.400 Manny Machado certainly doing well carrying that Padres offense. 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:09.800 No. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.560 One Aeronado Player of the Month of April, Juan Soto 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.840 of course, the one one in my heart, and yours, 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.400 Freddie Freeman, and then Jazz Chisholm. You could even throw 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.080 in there. Jesshism has been excellent. The Nashal League MVP 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.920 on May thirteenth is who Welsh? 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:27.120 Yeah, I mean I think I got a credit to you. 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:29.120 I think you brought it up and you put on 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.400 a couple of shows. I think you gotta say Machado 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.720 right now. I think Eronado's in that mix as well. 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:38.000 I feel like I'm missing a picture that you might 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.040 throw into this mix. I think that NL is so 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.520 wide open. I don't see I don't see any front runner. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.040 I think Machado has performed at that level you don't 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:49.920 get into your credit. But I don't think he can 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:51.559 win it. I don't think he will I think. 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:55.600 You want to know with the could remember when I 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.600 told you it was like twenty twenty to one? 0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:58.679 I remember one? 0:13:58.800 --> 0:13:59.600 Was it twenty to one? 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.240 Yeah, you want to know what it is today? 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.800 Let me guess. I bet it's eight to one plus 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:09.840 three hundred wow? Really plus three hundred wow. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.880 So in a week's time it's gone from twelve to three. 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.720 That's nuts. I mean that's insane. And I still am 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.440 not sold on it being a good wager. 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:20.160 Yeah. 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.480 I get it on PK at plus six hundred, which 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:24.840 at six hundred, Okay, you want to throw you know, 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.640 twenty bucks on that. Okay, that's fine. I think that's 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:28.640 that's a good investment. 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.920 Ronald Acuna is back and he's got to get going. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.280 Soto is still in the league. Yeah, Pitching wise, I 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:37.960 just don't know if there's anybody that's going to be 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.840 I mean, I know somebody in the chet Mark said 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:44.640 Corbyn Burns is in there, but like so David down 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.080 there just said Ernado is an l MVP. What's so 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.640 interesting is I think Eronado and Machado are performing at 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.120 that level, but I think it would take so so 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.040 much for either of them to actually win it. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.960 Like I don't know what else they can. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.880 They have to stay at this level all year long, 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.240 maybe even a notch more to stave off any of 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.640 these other guys that would come up. Specifically, Ronald Acunya 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.080 I think is the guy in Juan Soto. Those two 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.280 are the guys that are gonna just absolutely come come 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.480 screaming for it. And then we're not even talking about 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.760 any Dodgers that could have a run. You got Mookie, 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.560 Trey Turner, and Freddie Freeman all on a team in 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.080 the NL West. When the NLS is so tight right now, 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.320 that opens up and those guys start going. I don't 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.720 know if I were making a bet, I'd be making 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.160 it in the AL. I wouldn't be making NL bet 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.440 right now because unless I want to play the odds, 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.400 like what is Sodo right now or Akunya. 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.800 Soto right now? Well, Machado's three to one, No one. 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.840 Aronatto one betting pros consensus line is plus five fifty, 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.880 Sodo six fifty. Acunya is ten to one right now. 0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:49.040 Ten ten to one on Acunya is your best wager 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.480 you can make right now. But it's funny. Bryce Harper 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.760 is at plus fifteen hundred consensus right now. So there's 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.160 sun spots where he's twenty to one, and if the 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:58.840 Phillies rebound and. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.120 He's got the upl Harper, that's. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.240 He's and he's this warrior guy that soldiers through a 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.840 torn ucl and carries this offense. I don't know, man, 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.080 it could be another one for him. 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:11.560 I made a preseason bet I think on Harper for 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.040 MVY I too, and I think I need to hedge 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.640 it at this point because fifteen to one is way 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:17.520 better odds than I got. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.720 It has to be. Yeah, yeah, oh sure it was. 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.440 I'm sure it opened somewhere around six or something for Harper, 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.480 or nine would be my guess. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:27.880 All right, here you go here, Yeah, something like that. 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.800 Yeah. Our trivia question for the day. Who is the 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:35.320 only shortstop since nineteen ninety seven with two hundred hits 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.880 in a season? The only short stop with more than 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.560 two hundred hits in the season since nineteen ninety seven. 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.960 Go ahead, boys and girls, figure that out. Jimmy Robin 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.400 in the chat here, it is not Jimmy Rawins. It's 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:47.200 a good guess, though. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.280 Okay, I'm not looking at the thing. I'm pulling up 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.680 my my Harper bet here, it's not because if you 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.080 go ninety seven, the tip here is that it's gotta 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.160 be like it's got to be like closer to that range. 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:01.720 It's got to be like ninety seven ninety nine. Oh, 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:03.400 you know I didn't make that bet. Never mind, I 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:04.879 thought I made that Harper bet. I was about to 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:05.520 look at the odds. 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:07.919 Yeah, I don't know. That's that's a good one. 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:12.240 Jimmy Rollins was my guess in the chat here. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.920 Well, yes, so far in the chat up, somebody got 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:21.040 it already. Mar no Man, no Ma gaci a para 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.400 mark the king of trivia here. 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.040 Wow, he is the trivia king. 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.760 No Ma is the name. All right, let's get to 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.280 the stat heroes. Yesterday, Taiwan Walker finally got to start 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:34.200 against the team not called the Phillies. Uh. Seven innings 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.760 of no run baseball, only one strikeout. That's I was noting, but. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:39.800 Not right about that K Marker. I mean I got 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.040 seven innings out of Walker. Remember I liked that K Marker, 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.080 But it's like three and a half. Uh, and he 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.760 had only played the Phillies. I was right in that, 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.159 you know, he was gonna find some success, but not 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:50.960 right about the strikeouts good lord. 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.000 Connor Overton, who I'm pretty sure is an extra from 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.200 Downton Abbey. Six and the third, no earned runs for 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:01.600 walks in the k Luis Garcia five innings, nine strikeouts 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.920
