Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you by Prize Picked. Sign up
Speaker 1: today with the promo code leading Off.
Speaker 2: It's me Joey Pa Joe Pisa, Pia.
Speaker 1: That of course is the Wels shit it to you,
Speaker 1: the Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks.
Speaker 2: Here, let's talk a little baseball.
Speaker 1: It was kind of a quiet night in MLB last night,
Speaker 1: but we've got a lot going on today. We've got
Speaker 1: some earlier games, We've got a full slate of evening games,
Speaker 1: to dfs the hell out of, to wager the hell
Speaker 1: out of, and Welsh We're gonna make it a Q
Speaker 1: and a day with the Peanuts and Cracker Jacks. So
Speaker 1: if you got a question, we've got answers. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take a lot more questions today because really nothing really
Speaker 1: moved the needle last night. And I want to start
Speaker 1: off with rich because rich was here early and Richard
Speaker 1: was talking about the Kyle Schwarber having a seventeen home
Speaker 1: runs and a negative.
Speaker 2: War oh Richard, and Richard wanted to.
Speaker 1: Know he's on basically be the first player in MLB
Speaker 1: history to have a forty home run season and the
Speaker 1: negative war.
Speaker 3: I saw this style happen. Yeah, no, I don't. I
Speaker 3: don't think it happened, but I did see this stat
Speaker 3: last night. I think its gonna be fun. When he
Speaker 3: has forty homers and he has like aero point five
Speaker 3: war or something like that, it's gonna be incredible one
Speaker 3: hundred percent that his value is just that bomb. And
Speaker 3: that's about it. But yeah, it's a fun pacing stat
Speaker 3: and if it happens cool it'll be some trivia day
Speaker 3: down the line where piece of PA will bring up
Speaker 3: his hate of Kyle Skorber.
Speaker 2: I don't hate Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 1: I just hated his ADP and I think that's fair,
Speaker 1: and I think so far I've been right. So it
Speaker 1: was his ADP even high, too high, if I don't
Speaker 1: you go back and look at the consensus it was
Speaker 1: in the I want to say, late twenties, early thirties overall, Like.
Speaker 3: That's a little rich for but I feel it for Kyle.
Speaker 3: That does seem it feels a little high for what
Speaker 3: it actually was. But maybe maybe right.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm exaggerating, Maybe I'm you know, I'm crazy. I'd
Speaker 1: have to go back and take a look at it.
Speaker 1: I'll see can can we pull that up still? That
Speaker 1: is the question, because.
Speaker 2: That was like preseason ranks.
Speaker 3: Are you doing it?
Speaker 2: Let's see, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at rankings Fantasy Pros while we're doing that.
Speaker 3: Fantasy Pros. Fantasy Pros first one algorithm se O folks
Speaker 3: is right at the top heres of course it is.
Speaker 1: But any rate, let's keep going on with some of
Speaker 1: the other headlines. Because things did happen. Bryce Miller got
Speaker 1: back on track. Last couple of stars were rough for
Speaker 1: Bryce Miller. We've righted the ship. Six strikeouts for him
Speaker 1: in six innings, one run given up, So a big
Speaker 1: sigh of relief. I think to everybody like you Welsh,
Speaker 1: it was big supporters of Bryce Miller because as great
Speaker 1: as he was, you knew that was going to come
Speaker 1: back to earth. But it kind of crashed and burned
Speaker 1: for a few stars. So this was a very important start.
Speaker 1: The question is do you think a lot of people
Speaker 1: had him in the lineup. I'm guessing no, he was
Speaker 1: sat well.
Speaker 3: One thing I just want to point out real quick,
Speaker 3: they just got to it, but I found it. It
Speaker 3: was forty. Swarber was forty. So your point, it's a
Speaker 3: little high.
Speaker 2: More of the names around him, all right.
Speaker 3: So three above him was Realmuto class Aaron Rose arena rose.
Speaker 1: That But like that was my big hang up, if
Speaker 1: memory serves, was that, how is a Randy Rose arena
Speaker 1: not a better pick than college?
Speaker 3: S wwarber woodroof was up there, Matt Olsen below was Jazzism,
Speaker 3: which I firmly disagreed with in the preseason. I'm ros,
Speaker 3: but I disagreed with Dylan Cees and Ozzy Albi, Shane
Speaker 3: Bieber Urias. This is the most egregious one I looked at.
Speaker 2: I liked over him too.
Speaker 3: Cory Seger was forty five, and Cory Harold, by the way,
Speaker 3: ah gorn so funny you bring that up, Joe, Can
Speaker 3: you believe this? Sixty six sixty When you said a
Speaker 3: Rose arena?
Speaker 2: That was my big hang up.
Speaker 1: I thought he was in the thirties or some point,
Speaker 1: but I guess he was forty. So my whole thing is,
Speaker 1: how can you put Randy roserena player who gives you
Speaker 1: batting average, gives you home runs, it gives you stone bases,
Speaker 1: He gives you consistency, better splits, better head to head player,
Speaker 1: all those things, right, next to Kyleege forber Jes because
Speaker 1: klish Wober hit forty home runs.
Speaker 2: To me, lose Raine was too low in ADP.
Speaker 1: Number one, and I think Schwarbro was too high. And
Speaker 1: that confluence of events to me was a real looking.
Speaker 3: Back on it, I had seeger Way higher, I had
Speaker 3: Jazz and Rose Rain also had higher. I wasn't a Schwarberger.
Speaker 3: I've said this in the preseason, like big old, like
Speaker 3: albatrossy batting average guys, not really my thing. In season though,
Speaker 3: the reason he's been interesting is because you've got probably
Speaker 3: most of the worst out of the way. It could
Speaker 3: get worse.
Speaker 2: I suppose there's a roadmap.
Speaker 1: April May you let him go and then you trade
Speaker 1: for him. Schwarberfest starts when they started first. There's there's shirts,
Speaker 1: by the way. I did find them on the internet.
Speaker 3: I know I want that, I tweeted, I said, where's
Speaker 3: the fantasy pros funds you.
Speaker 2: And me need to wear?
Speaker 3: That's all, So there you go. I don't disagree with
Speaker 3: the pre draft value. He's got some value. Now back
Speaker 3: to Bryce Miller just for a second. What's so funny
Speaker 3: is speaking of road maps, I'm not really sure what
Speaker 3: the roadmap is with Bryce Miller, because this was a
Speaker 3: lot of those first starts, and I thought there might
Speaker 3: need to be something new going on with Bryce Miller.
Speaker 3: We might need to see, you know, the sweeper, the curveball,
Speaker 3: more or more change up. He was seventy three percent fastball,
Speaker 3: twenty two percent slider. That was everything. His fastball was
Speaker 3: absolutely on point, had a thirty four percent whiff rate,
Speaker 3: his slider had nothing. He hit both in the zone
Speaker 3: pretty well. Fastball was actually only fifty five percent, but
Speaker 3: guys weren't on top of it. Nine called strikes. You
Speaker 3: had the twelve whiffs, and you had fifteen fowls on it,
Speaker 3: and he was pushing it around the zone. So all
Speaker 3: I'm saying is he just lives and dies by the fastball.
Speaker 3: So it's a little hard to gauge unless he is
Speaker 3: going to go and become Spencer Strider. I don't think
Speaker 3: that's going to happen. It's just all going to be
Speaker 3: on consistency for him, which makes him a little bit dicey.
Speaker 3: This was not the worst matchup in the world. So
Speaker 3: the whole point is like everyone's freaking out far as well,
Speaker 3: we go, No, he's just a rookie pitcher who has
Speaker 3: two dominant pitches, which really isn't the best, but his
Speaker 3: fastball might be the best of all the rookie fastball,
Speaker 3: so it gives him a little bit more leverage.
Speaker 2: So I think everything get your locations off for a couple.
Speaker 1: Of you know, a couple of games. That's gonna kill
Speaker 1: you when you're a two pitch pitch.
Speaker 3: He's beyond having to like stream pitchers. He's a guy
Speaker 3: that you can have in the back of the rotation.
Speaker 3: Maybe pay a tiny bit more attention to the matchups
Speaker 3: and sit him once in a while. But overall, Bryce
Speaker 3: Similler is still pretty good. This is a pretty good outing.
Speaker 3: Twelve overall whiffs. I'll take it, even though they're all
Speaker 3: on the fastball.
Speaker 1: Also something to to point out, our friend Maxwell joining
Speaker 1: us for the first time, first time making it up
Speaker 1: this early.
Speaker 2: So Maxwell, we're happy to have you. I love it.
Speaker 3: Thank you Maxwell, Maxwell Grimes.
Speaker 1: And our friend Maxwell Grimes joining us live for the
Speaker 1: first time.
Speaker 2: I love that. Hopefully you subscribe. I haven't even looked today.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think we're fourteen k yet, but
Speaker 1: we're getting very close.
Speaker 2: Not quite the mustache.
Speaker 3: I thinks.
Speaker 1: By the way, Carl, Carl, see you say Grimes, I
Speaker 1: think Rick Grimes walking down? I think no, I think
Speaker 1: Grymes like Simpsons episode you know. Nope, oh no, not
Speaker 1: a Simpsons guy.
Speaker 3: I everyone eyes me. I watched the Simpsons a decent amount.
Speaker 3: I became like a family guy guy. I haven't watched
Speaker 3: any of those in like fifteen years.
Speaker 2: No, but this is classic old Simpsons.
Speaker 3: Well I don't remember. Rick Grimes is the only Grimes
Speaker 3: that jumps out to me.
Speaker 2: Grimes from the Simpsons.
Speaker 1: That's the guy who's like the greatest employee ever, and
Speaker 1: he keeps getting in trouble and Homer keeps getting promoted
Speaker 1: and stuff, and he's just it's hilarious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 1: Anyway, let's continue on here. Michael Harris, good night for him.
Speaker 1: Three for four, stolen base hit, a home run. So
Speaker 1: Michael Harris starting to pull himself out.
Speaker 2: That is good.
Speaker 1: He is still towards the bottom of that Braves order though,
Speaker 1: So well, let's talk about that, because we know so
Speaker 1: much of productivity at times can be tied to where
Speaker 1: you are in the batting where he's still in the
Speaker 1: lower part. Do you see him starting as he gets
Speaker 1: hotter to move up that batting order.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. Actually taking a look here, funny enough,
Speaker 3: he has not bat above five this entire season. Think
Speaker 3: about that for where he was last year. He's hit five, six, seven, eight,
Speaker 3: and nine so far. The only spot he's actually really
Speaker 3: been effective is hitting five. Not that that necessarily matters
Speaker 3: in the batting order, but it's been just a rough go.
Speaker 3: The positive is I think there's a great bi low opportunity.
Speaker 3: He hit two hundred and April with only a couple
Speaker 3: of games. May was a one to sixty one batting average.
Speaker 3: But he's hitting two ninety seven so far this month,
Speaker 3: which is great. There's a stolen base in there, there's
Speaker 3: a couple homers, and we've seen the Braves do this before.
Speaker 3: We actually kind of have a roadmap to them. They
Speaker 3: did this with Ozzy Alby's where he would hit like
Speaker 3: two and then he moved down to six or seven.
Speaker 3: I think as Michael Harris shows consistency, he will move
Speaker 3: up the batting order, and there's always opportunities for him,
Speaker 3: especially you know Lefty, to hit, to hit two in
Speaker 3: that batting line. I absolutely think he's not gonna lead off,
Speaker 3: but he could be hitting behind Acuni at some point.
Speaker 3: It's a good two spy love.
Speaker 1: This is the by low time for Michael Harris because
Speaker 1: if he gets into that two spot in between Akunya
Speaker 1: and then the Olsen Riley, you know that Triumvirent there,
Speaker 1: that's that's a really good group to be hitting in
Speaker 1: the middle of.
Speaker 3: And it's a good by low opportunity because he's also
Speaker 3: starting to pick it back up. Like a lot of
Speaker 3: people would be like, well, the biopportunity was when he
Speaker 3: was hitty one sixty. It's like, well, now sophomore year,
Speaker 3: he hadn't shown anything plus injury stuff, like let's see something,
Speaker 3: and now we're seeing something.
Speaker 1: Well, this is when I would Yeah, today is when
Speaker 1: I throw out the trade exactly.
Speaker 3: Values up, he's doing something, he's hitting low in the lineup.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of opportunity rest of season. So I
Speaker 3: actually like the prospects of picking up Michael Harris.
Speaker 2: Bryce Miller too.
Speaker 1: I was just looking at his split stats just you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a splits kind of guy.
Speaker 2: I do like the splits.
Speaker 1: I home three five seven e RA and four starts
Speaker 1: on the road four five seventy ray and four starts.
Speaker 2: So just something he could be guy. Maybe it is.
Speaker 1: Again it's it's a small sample, but you know when
Speaker 1: you're looking like Welsh was saying, for some more information
Speaker 1: on when to start Bryce Miller here, because it's been
Speaker 1: a little mix bag lately.
Speaker 2: That's a good one.
Speaker 1: Here's a question from the Peanuts and Cracker Jack. This
Speaker 1: is from Jack, no other name, just Jack. Should I
Speaker 1: trade Tucker and Kirby for Corbyn Carroll and Michael Harris?
Speaker 1: See look at that. We're on the pulse right now.
Speaker 1: What do you think of this deal? I want Carl
Speaker 1: and Harris to tell you true, the best player in
Speaker 1: this deal is Corbyn Carroll and.
Speaker 3: I don't want to Yeah, I mean dynasty this is
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Caro. I have Carrol over Tucker,
Speaker 3: easy redraft. Probably I'm only, like, you know, hesitating a
Speaker 3: little bit because like Tucker is still pretty good and
Speaker 3: George Kirby is probably like the lynchpin of your your rotation.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if I'm like dying Harris.
Speaker 1: You know, Tucker Tucker for the next couple of weeks. Again,
Speaker 1: no Jordan Ovarez in that lineup. He becomes infinitely easier
Speaker 1: to pitch to you, I.
Speaker 3: Think overall, like I want obviously on Carroll corbyan Carroll, did.
Speaker 2: You see Carroll Corbyn?
Speaker 3: Carroll I believe has the highest OPS in the NL,
Speaker 3: and like, yeah, the highest OPS in the NL, which
Speaker 3: is I just.
Speaker 2: Want to pull McConaughey there on that when I did
Speaker 2: not realize.
Speaker 3: That, Wow, all right, all right, all right, all right.
Speaker 2: The OPS is that high?
Speaker 1: Some thing I like about ops quote when Carol stays
Speaker 1: high all year round.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to another one.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 2: The Mets signed Luke Void who's been around the block
Speaker 2: here the last couple of weeks, Luke Voyd looking for
Speaker 2: a home.
Speaker 1: And this just kind of tells you where they're at.
Speaker 1: And that Pi Alonzo injury. He ain't coming back anytime soon.
Speaker 1: One quick rookie lookie to the Royals were called. I
Speaker 1: believe it's Darren Blanco?
Speaker 2: Is it? Is it Darren pronounced?
Speaker 1: Because I r o n Robin's dyn or Deron or Darren?
Speaker 1: I don't know, mister Lono is Upyron Diyron Blanco the five.
Speaker 3: Greatest stolen bases in the world, dialon, But.
Speaker 2: It's not because I know I know that name but
Speaker 2: it's got an R in it. But here's what's interesting
Speaker 2: about him. He's got forty seven steals in forty nine
Speaker 2: games this year at Triple A. Now he is not
Speaker 2: like a a prospector. He's a thirty year old guy.
Speaker 1: But if you are looking for, you know, Pascorentinos out,
Speaker 1: playing time is more available. They're going to be shifting
Speaker 1: guys around if you're somebody's behind in stolen bases? Is
Speaker 1: Blanco the kind of guy you pick up for a
Speaker 1: buck or two and you plug him in there and
Speaker 1: you see, maybe you get a couple of weeks and
Speaker 1: get half a dozen steals.
Speaker 2: Forty seven that's a big number.
Speaker 3: Well now, well, I mean we see that like a story.
Speaker 3: Is one of those guys that is just like he
Speaker 3: goes like he gets a hit, he got And my
Speaker 3: problem is, is Blanco getting hits and consistent playing time.
Speaker 3: So I know what you're saying, and we could do that,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say no because we're getting stolen bases everywhere else.
Speaker 3: So maybe you could get a couple extra, But I'm
Speaker 3: just worried the playing time versus like him getting hits.
Speaker 3: It's just not something. It's just not a play that
Speaker 3: I would do, but sure your logic makes thousand percent sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, cousin Donnie joining us internationally today. I
Speaker 1: know he's in Mexico with his family, so hopefully he
Speaker 1: doesn't get arrested, you know, like last time.
Speaker 2: But you know it's it's an international baby.
Speaker 3: That'd be a lot harder to get you out of
Speaker 3: those prisons.
Speaker 2: Actually had a cousin who got arrested in Mexico.
Speaker 1: True story, and I was the person that took the
Speaker 1: phone call to my grandmother's house.
Speaker 2: I'm just hanging out at my grandma's house. I think
Speaker 2: I had to be like, I don't know, like ten
Speaker 2: to eleven at the time. It's like the summer Grandma
Speaker 2: in Mexico. Honestly, that's pretty much what it was like.
Speaker 1: He had one phone call, so he called her because
Speaker 1: he knew she would always be home, right, that's the
Speaker 1: you know people that have cell phones back in my.
Speaker 3: Last phone call ever, like that is that is a
Speaker 3: top five fear.
Speaker 2: This is the true story.
Speaker 1: And I remember I was probably having a snack watching TV,
Speaker 1: just hanging out there, you know, just some random summer
Speaker 1: afternoon and you know, phone rings and there's my cousin
Speaker 1: on the other line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you put grandma on the phone? Wait where
Speaker 2: are you?
Speaker 1: I'm in Mexico. Where in a prison? Oh that sounds
Speaker 1: that's like a nor McDonald. But oh geez, that sounds
Speaker 1: pretty serious. Simpson, you know, also was in that prison.
Speaker 3: Oh Jay Simpson life.
Speaker 2: I miss norm all right injuries to get through.
Speaker 1: Marcelo Zuna or was removed from Monday's contest with a
Speaker 1: right contusion of his risk. John Gray scratch him his
Speaker 1: start with a blister. So hopefully that's not going to
Speaker 1: be too bad. But a little fun note here, we
Speaker 1: like some fun. JT Realmuto, we like this. Became the
Speaker 1: seventeenth catcher in Major League history to hit for the
Speaker 1: cycle on Monday. So congratulations of JT, who has not
Speaker 1: had a good season. Let's be honest, he has not
Speaker 1: been a good year for JT. This is not what
Speaker 1: you drafted him for. Here's another question too, And look
Speaker 1: here we go and and ANGELI say, talk about real Muto.
Speaker 1: It might be the only time of the year I did.
Speaker 3: If you watch the game two, a Tory Devello went off,
Speaker 3: He went at he tried to fight him almost so
Speaker 3: it was pretty great. And then Romado responded by hitting.
Speaker 1: A little chippy last night, A little little chippy, I think.
Speaker 1: But we haven't done Joe's tough Guys in a while
Speaker 1: because we haven't had one. But I think this qualifies,
Speaker 1: so Joe's tough guys. The Angels signed Daniel Murphy to
Speaker 1: a minor league contract. Now, Daniel Murphy retired in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one for baseball, he hasn't played since twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: He's thirty eight years old. He was playing for the
Speaker 1: Long Island Ducks a couple of weeks ago. Eight now
Speaker 1: he's thirty eight. Uh, and so look at three thirty
Speaker 1: one with two homers and thirty seven games for the
Speaker 1: Ducks and the Angels excuse me, not on the should sign,
Speaker 1: but the Angel like, that's our guy, that's you know what,
Speaker 1: Let's let's go give him a minor league.
Speaker 3: That's how we're gonna get a time. That's gonna put
Speaker 3: us over Daniel Murphy.
Speaker 2: But you know what, good for Daniel Murphy.
Speaker 1: Tough got You know, Daniel Murphy signed an enormous contract
Speaker 1: there with the uh the Colorado Rockies a few years back,
Speaker 1: and as far as I'm concerned, like I'm sure Daniel
Speaker 1: Murphy does not need baseball anymore. That guy was out
Speaker 1: there playing independent league baseball just because because he didn't
Speaker 1: want it to be over yet.
Speaker 2: So good good for him. Like that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2: What do you think about that? I know it's a
Speaker 2: fantasy relevant, but.
Speaker 3: You know what, Daniel Murphy's just like whatever. Like you
Speaker 3: know what I hope though, is I I like, they
Speaker 3: want to get him going. They send him out here
Speaker 3: a complex the thirty eight year old to hit against
Speaker 3: some eighteen year olds and just ruin their lives and
Speaker 3: just ruin their days. And I get to see him,
Speaker 3: and I'll heckle him if he is I'll get some
Speaker 3: video if he does.
Speaker 1: You know, we mentioned the Scherberfest stuff at the top
Speaker 1: of the show. We are considering doing a fun leading
Speaker 1: off T shirt drop. It's going to be like an
Speaker 1: exclusive short term thing for the Peanuts of the Cracker Jacks.
Speaker 1: We were bouncing around ideas. May and I were talking
Speaker 1: about it. We don't know if it should the shirts
Speaker 1: and say Welsh isms, if it should say Joe's tough guys,
Speaker 1: if it should.
Speaker 3: Just be Can we do like three shirts and then
Speaker 3: just have a drop like, are you saying because I'm
Speaker 3: not bothering this an exclusive shirt?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm opening I'm That's why I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you opened it up to the other end.
Speaker 1: The peanuts and cracker jacks, if they're if they're interested
Speaker 1: in the shirt, what would that shirt be that you
Speaker 1: would like?
Speaker 3: Saying? Can't we do a limited time like couple? I know,
Speaker 3: I get the logic of one, but like, what if if.
Speaker 1: We sell more than one, then maybe we can, you know,
Speaker 1: justify next year doing two or three?
Speaker 3: But we're starting h to your point, you got to run,
Speaker 3: like what are the ones that you welshism?
Speaker 2: I would action I wish we had a running list,
Speaker 2: because then I would put them all on the back,
Speaker 2: like you know, just yeah, in for a dime, in
Speaker 2: for a penny.
Speaker 3: I don't know what they all are. That's a good,
Speaker 3: that's a good. It's a really good point. You know,
Speaker 3: I have a good one. What if we had one
Speaker 3: that was silhouette and here's what I'm rich hold on.
Speaker 3: It was a bald one with beautiful flowy hair silhouette
Speaker 3: we did what if we did.
Speaker 2: So the silhouettes, the bald and the beauty just next
Speaker 2: to each other.
Speaker 3: We need some art done, but we could have like
Speaker 3: the bald and the because the hair has been a
Speaker 3: big we had people betting before the show and the
Speaker 3: chat of if I would there'd be hair today. We
Speaker 3: could do something like that. You know, Welshism, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Put it in the chat and maybe we can get
Speaker 3: some ideas. I like, how long would be available.
Speaker 1: For oh like limited time, like a two week drop
Speaker 1: kind of thing, you know, like you know those Instagram
Speaker 1: people do.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like that, yeah thing. Okay, we'll have
Speaker 2: approval for it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think Welshisms is a great one.
Speaker 1: Our hashtag Welshism got it.
Speaker 3: Be so great if we had some of mine, and
Speaker 3: then you could put him on the back of the
Speaker 3: shirt bakeup. You know, I could just talk for twenty
Speaker 3: minutes and I'll get you guys.
Speaker 2: Hit the ground rolling. That was definitely great. Dog Hit
Speaker 2: the ground.
Speaker 1: Rolling was definitely one of them that I know for sure.
Speaker 1: It was definitely hit the ground rolling. I know that
Speaker 1: for a fact.
Speaker 2: All right, some three up and three down from yesterday show,
Speaker 2: he towny homer twice. He now has twenty homers and
Speaker 2: one hundred strikeouts. And fifty RBI because we live in
Speaker 2: an alternate universe.
Speaker 3: But nobody, nobody talks about him anymore. He's not like
Speaker 3: an MVP or anything.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, what can you know what you know?
Speaker 2: I know, one talk about him because he plays for
Speaker 2: the Angels.
Speaker 3: Okay, because Daniel Murphy, because Daniel. But he's signed Daniel Murphy.
Speaker 3: That's the big news, right.
Speaker 2: And there's yeah, they're like, you know what, we got
Speaker 2: some extra cash laying around. You want to pull it together, towny,
Speaker 2: nah bro, let's go sign Daniel Murphy toleague.
Speaker 1: Hear Paxton six innings, eight k's no decision could tell
Speaker 1: Marte good last night in that wacky game with the Phillies.
Speaker 1: Uh three runs for him three for five, three down,
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper oh for four to three ks.
Speaker 2: He hasn't quite hit his stride yet.
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Low oh for four with four K so he
Speaker 1: had the golden sombrero, Harper the hat trick, and Tyler
Speaker 1: Anderson mister Anderson five earned runs.
Speaker 2: So those are the people on the way down. Let's
Speaker 2: talk a little prize picks.
Speaker 1: Now, let's turn the page and look ahead, and again
Speaker 1: I want to see more ideas for shirts. If you
Speaker 1: have any I mean, I don't know if we can
Speaker 1: get away with peanuts and cracker Jacks because I think
Speaker 1: that might be like illegal because technically.
Speaker 3: Oh the copyright is owned if I'm guessing, and Crackerjacks,
Speaker 3: I'm guessing.

Speaker 3: we had like the Prize Picks square, it was a
Speaker 3: picture of one of us and then it had like
Speaker 3: mine'd be like Welsh under half Welsh. Yeah yeah, I
Speaker 3: would be very back. But if we can have like
Speaker 3: three of them, it can have like a Joe one,
Speaker 3: a Welsh one.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, what do you have for the prize picks?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: For the prize Picks today, they actually opened up something
Speaker 3: new and fun. Don't know how long this is going
Speaker 3: to be around, but I haven't seen this all season.
Speaker 3: They are pairing stolen based guys together. So they put
Speaker 3: multiple multiple guys together for one stolen base, and guess
Speaker 3: what you can get as Storry Ruiz and Elie de
Speaker 3: la Cruz for just one stolen base. So I am
Speaker 3: in for that one today. Yeah, I'm jumping in that
Speaker 3: it's just one stolen base. I'm pairing it with Hunter Brown,
Speaker 3: Patrick Corbin no run first innings, and I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: with Corey Seeger Fantasy score seven and a half of
Speaker 3: love Corey Segert today. Hunter Brown, my dude, they're often
Speaker 3: those stinks, even if it's Washington. So those are my
Speaker 3: three pieces of the prize picks.
Speaker 1: I was looking on the YouTube channel. We're still at
Speaker 1: thirteen point eight. We are climbing, getting very close to
Speaker 1: thirteen point nine. We allot to a milestone though. We
Speaker 1: have over one point six million views now on the channel,
Speaker 1: so that's pretty pretty good. Not bad there for me
Speaker 1: probably picking today. You know, I like the guys who
Speaker 1: can get points in different ways. So Mookie BET's eight
Speaker 1: point five going over on that, Trey Turner seven point
Speaker 1: five going over on that, and I think it's time
Speaker 1: to break out Bryce Harper. I think today's the day
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. He went over yesterday, struck out
Speaker 1: a bunch of times. Bryce Harper comes back today with
Speaker 1: a vengeance. Betting wise is a little tricky today, so
Speaker 1: I've really honed in on a couple of things. Spencer Streider.
Speaker 1: I like the under. He's got nine. You can get
Speaker 1: nine and a half right now. I'm betting pros on
Speaker 1: Spencer Schreider. Go the under. Nine and a half is
Speaker 1: a huge number. I know it's a Tigers. I don't care.
Speaker 2: Nine and a half is a huge number. You bet
Speaker 2: the under on that, Tan or byeby four and a half,
Speaker 2: that's a small number. Go over.
Speaker 1: So look for these easy slam dunk kind of situations.
Speaker 1: When you get these numbers and Milwaukee plus one oh
Speaker 1: five on the money line, I know they're on the road.
Speaker 1: Corvin Burns look good in his last start. Pablo Lopez
Speaker 1: does not looked good in his last few starts. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the wal hockey at the plus money. I
Speaker 1: think this is a good one here for you, Welsh.
Speaker 1: I won't forget you today.
Speaker 3: I mean you know what today today, you could have
Speaker 3: forgot me today.
Speaker 2: It's weird because it's it's a fun day. It's a
Speaker 2: big slate.
Speaker 1: But the betting lines are wacky today, really just screaming value.
Speaker 3: They're tough. It's been like that for three weeks. You know,
Speaker 3: you know credit this is why this is all works.
Speaker 3: You know, you have a couple a month or so
Speaker 3: that's really well, and then the lines get really tight
Speaker 3: and the stolen base or the strikeout market is just brutal,
Speaker 3: like everywhere you'd want to attack, or like crazy Highness
Speaker 3: Striders nine and a half. Strike It's just it's too much.
Speaker 3: I don't love a lot of the lines today. I
Speaker 3: did pick out. I'm attacking two full game team totals.
Speaker 3: You could go on the fives if you want, but
Speaker 3: the two games I want to attack are Atlanta and Texas.
Speaker 3: Both of those I'm taking their team total runs, so
Speaker 3: it's for each of them to score five. They're a
Speaker 3: little bit juice up, so you could put them together.
Speaker 3: I didn't partly them to give you the number, but
Speaker 3: it's probably two twenty two thirty plus two thirty if
Speaker 3: you did both of them together. Otherwise, just pay up
Speaker 3: Atlanta up against Detroit and Texas against Tyler Anderson or
Speaker 3: no jime Bria with the Angels I am taking both
Speaker 3: of those as my bets. Today.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of demand for a Wonky Penguin
Speaker 1: T shirt. I'd buy that shirt, to be honest, Like.
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of these.
Speaker 2: I I just thought of dong Bong as another one too.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you know dong Bong's and Wonky Penguins.
Speaker 3: It's just mayor under the dong Bong and let's see it.
Speaker 1: Spell peanuts and cracker jacks differently, you know, I guess
Speaker 1: we could do that. Yeah, there, that's all like you
Speaker 1: spell with a Z and then you look like some
Speaker 1: like goofy there was.
Speaker 3: Multiple people have brought up the Kinta mata and I
Speaker 3: have an idea, but we'll talk about that. We'll talk
Speaker 3: about that off air. Probably not going to bring up
Speaker 3: my idea on air or anything like that.
Speaker 1: Probably, no, no, No, here's what you do. You do welshisms,
Speaker 1: you do hit the ground rolling, you do like a
Speaker 1: couple of welshisms, and then on the back it's like
Speaker 1: a suresy and on the back it's just kent to
Speaker 1: Maida's number.
Speaker 2: So it's real subtle. So you don't like if you know,
Speaker 2: you know, And I think that's what you put off
Speaker 2: instead of a name you put if you know, you know.
Speaker 3: Well what it would be funnier would be like kid
Speaker 3: to make it up front and sang a back that would.
Speaker 2: Or no, you know those split jerseys, you know those
Speaker 2: split jerseys that like that was the highlight of the
Speaker 2: of the year that was.
Speaker 3: And it's only June.
Speaker 2: It's only June. Only ideas, guys, it's only can only
Speaker 2: get better. Joe's Joe's AI machine. We could do that
Speaker 2: on there.
Speaker 1: But regardless, again, this is something we're talking about. Hit
Speaker 1: up Mike Mayor if you got some good ones too.
Speaker 1: If you're listening to the show and you're not with
Speaker 1: us live today, it is up on Twitter too. Is
Speaker 1: it the Welsh at your piece of seventeen. We're looking
Speaker 1: for your ideas. It's for you, it's not for us,
Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to get some t shirts made,
Speaker 1: have some fun, commemorate the you know, incredible run.
Speaker 2: That we've had. And of course we like fun, so
Speaker 2: so rare. That's fun.
Speaker 1: Sign up today fantasypros dot Com slash collect it's free,
Speaker 1: it's fan see, it's baseball, it's awesome and you can
Speaker 1: go compete against other peanuts and cracker Jacks Peanuts with
Speaker 1: a Z of course over at Fancy Bros dot com
Speaker 1: slash leading off League.
Speaker 2: That's how you do it. Welsh.
Speaker 1: I'm mad because I should have five more home runs
Speaker 1: than I do because yesterday I have no regrets about Garcia.
Speaker 2: I was in on Garcia. It was good, math, everything
Speaker 2: was there. It didn't happen.
Speaker 1: Fine, But the guy that had before I got to
Speaker 1: the Garcia one, the first person I had in the
Speaker 1: sheet was Otani and then Jose Ramirez for three that
Speaker 1: I missed. So really I should just every time I
Speaker 1: put somebody in, I should just slap my hand and say,
Speaker 1: don't change it.
Speaker 3: Go back to your like I did at the beginning
Speaker 3: of the year. Like flip the coin, you know, the
Speaker 3: coin always so you can try that good.
Speaker 2: Picture Joey p with the crown.
Speaker 1: That's you know, if it's a picture of you with
Speaker 1: the amazing swoop hair, then it definitely should be me
Speaker 1: with the crown.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The silhouette, it's like a silhouette, you know here and
Speaker 3: then it's a swoop that's what you see. And then
Speaker 3: Joe's is ball, but with the crown on it. That
Speaker 3: would be a great, but we need some art done.
Speaker 2: I sure love the idea of just the ken to
Speaker 2: my eight and number like that.
Speaker 3: To me, it's just subtle. My price pick one it
Speaker 3: could be you know, Joe with something over under.
Speaker 2: Or with the crown, you with the tiara, that's all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that too. And then the third leg of our
Speaker 3: prize pick one could be Wonky and it could go
Speaker 3: Penguins over Under and we could have Penguins over under.
Speaker 3: So that's my price pick idea for leading off you
Speaker 3: me and Wonkee on there. Penguins, welshisms and I don't know.
Speaker 2: What, I don't know.
Speaker 3: He's hard, yeah, whatever, everything all.
Speaker 1: Right, let's get to the dfs today. Joe Musgrove is
Speaker 1: under price. Especially on DK it's he's like seven point five.
Speaker 1: I think on Fanboys a little more he's eight point five.
Speaker 1: Either way, I'm investing. I know he's going against the team,
Speaker 1: doesn't strike out a ton, but I don't care. I'm
Speaker 1: still going Joe Musgrove. I think he's starting to turn
Speaker 1: the corner here. I think there's opportunity on this. I
Speaker 1: would also look at his k prop today and so
Speaker 1: you go find one for him that's a little bit
Speaker 1: more user friendly. Hunter Brown is at ten K, Gormyn
Speaker 1: Burr on the road ten point two. It's again I
Speaker 1: think it's a tournament play is where you're looking at
Speaker 1: because the twins do strike out. He's going against the twinkies.
Speaker 1: So if Corbyn Burns is getting back on track, this
Speaker 1: is an opportunity here. You're always looking for quality start, win,
Speaker 1: potential six strikeouts, that's what you're looking for. Hunter Brown
Speaker 1: gives you that, Corbin Burns gives you that, Joe Musgrove
Speaker 1: gives you that, and I think Zach Wheeler gives you
Speaker 1: that today too.
Speaker 2: So all of those guys are in play. You can
Speaker 2: mix and match the ten K guys.
Speaker 1: Or you could just go down to Joe Musgrove and
Speaker 1: build up your lineups, which I would recommend personally.
Speaker 2: I think that's the way to go. Tampa, Philly, Los
Speaker 2: Angeles Dodgers and the Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels.
Speaker 2: So lots of good offenses today.
Speaker 1: If anything, I would be looking at some of these
Speaker 1: games Welsh, and I'd be looking at some of the overs.
Speaker 1: I think some of these over totals are gonna hit.
Speaker 2: So if you're looking like I think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Whenever we get these days where we're
Speaker 1: just not loving the props and things, that's because it's
Speaker 1: an over day.
Speaker 3: That's because and that's why I went at team total runs.
Speaker 3: That's why I was attacking more team total runs today,
Speaker 3: because I'm just gonna play overs you could play. There
Speaker 3: are some small lines, you know, A sneaky one I
Speaker 3: took a look at, by the way, was at Atlanta
Speaker 3: Detroit one. It's at seven and a half overall and
Speaker 3: the first five is four. So you know, we've seen
Speaker 3: Strider get hit up a little bit. If you think
Speaker 3: the Braves are gonna start getting at resource and those
Speaker 3: are you know, some overs that you could take as well.
Speaker 3: So I completely agree with you.
Speaker 1: Mayor Bear could also be a good shirt too for
Speaker 1: the Mayor Bear, But I don't want to give Mike
Speaker 1: Mayra's own shirt goes right to his head.
Speaker 3: I think that the one shirt we do is Mike Mayer.
Speaker 2: No no way.
Speaker 3: If you guys relent and have like we have, it's
Speaker 3: like a pop up store. It's like bam. You know,
Speaker 3: it's three shirts for two weeks only and then they're gone.
Speaker 3: Like that's a different story, but it can't be the
Speaker 3: one shirt.
Speaker 1: No, no again. It is just like the one that
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this. It's gonna be fun, So we're gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, we want to. It's basically our way of
Speaker 1: saying thank you for tuning in and being with us
Speaker 1: so much because it's it's been awesome.
Speaker 2: You guys are you.
Speaker 1: Know, you guys are the reason the show's here, So
Speaker 1: we want to do something fun. Yeah, the reason I'm
Speaker 1: here around you know, Father's Days around the corner too,
Speaker 1: for you know, especially for the dads out there who
Speaker 1: watched the show. And he's a gift to yourself. I
Speaker 1: give myself gifts on Father's Day. Somebody has to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I always get myself some of Father's Day. It's Father's Day,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get myself. I don't know this year, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift shirt, I already have one.
Speaker 2: I already have one.
Speaker 3: You maybe you need a new one.
Speaker 1: Good, No, it's pretty new. I just went to the concert,
Speaker 1: so I'm good. I have the hoodie too, which.
Speaker 3: Is okay, well all right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it keeps me warm on those cold winternights.
Speaker 1: Cody Clements two point four k jose Bray you two
Speaker 1: point six, Owen Miller two point eight.
Speaker 2: Those your value guys.
Speaker 1: As I said, I am trying to break the Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper curse right now. I think I can do it.
Speaker 1: So Bryce Harper to go yard today against the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's where I'm going. Welsh, where
Speaker 1: are you going for your home run call today?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I actually was looking at Harper. I was also
Speaker 3: looking at Schwarps. Schwarps is one that I was thinking
Speaker 3: about today. Kyle Davies though, just doesn't really give up
Speaker 3: Homer so far this year. So I'm going to go
Speaker 3: with Corey Seeger.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna full circle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've I've been full on it. I was also
Speaker 3: thinking Marcus Simeon. That was another one I was focused
Speaker 3: in on. But I'm going to go with mister Corey Seeger.
Speaker 1: There you go, very good, excellent. So again, if you

Speaker 1: hopefully we'll land on that. Mayor is kind of spearheading
Speaker 1: this effort, which is why we definitely can't make it
Speaker 1: a Mayor bear shirt. At some point, Yes, the Mayor
Speaker 1: bear shirt should be in existence, but I agree, not
Speaker 1: the first one.
Speaker 3: They'll probably be what we'll be like, Hey, look there's
Speaker 3: the shirt and bear shirt.

Speaker 1: one for all his negativity.
