Speaker 1: Welsh is here. I'm here and it looks like our
Speaker 1: new friend, the Wheel is gonna be here. That's right,
Speaker 1: Wheel of Homer's is going to be here because Welsh
Speaker 1: went over over the weekend, which it's it's a tough
Speaker 1: it's a tough one, but I gotta say I was
Speaker 1: running for the Wheel and I got what I asked for.
Speaker 2: Well, we picked Corbyn Carrol, so we had a really
Speaker 2: good opportunity that we were going to go to the Wheel.
Speaker 2: But yep, worst home run call of all time, pretty
Speaker 2: bad betting weekend in general, ladies and gentlemen, Oh that
Speaker 2: was a pretty good ASMR. The knuckles cracking there and
Speaker 2: we're ready to turn the week around because Wolf and
Speaker 2: how else better to do it? Not with tireless analysis
Speaker 2: and breakdowns, No it's by randomly putting names on a wheel,
Speaker 2: spinning it and making that your choice. That is what
Speaker 2: we are doing later in the show today with the
Speaker 2: wheel of Homers.
Speaker 1: Well, we got some rookie lookye stuff today. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be really fun. We've got some good bets today too.
Speaker 1: I feel good about some of the things we're talking about. Also,
Speaker 1: I'm in a good mood because I've got this bad
Speaker 1: boy k My Montreal Expo shirt came in the mail
Speaker 1: this weekend, which I bought uh and I just I
Speaker 1: love the old school Montreal.
Speaker 2: Off the Instagram to do the Instagram and.
Speaker 1: In gute off the Instagram because they'll hack your account.
Speaker 1: I bought off a reputable place. But it came today,
Speaker 1: so I'm wearing it on the show today, representing the
Speaker 1: og Montreal. Still the weirdest baseball experience I've ever had
Speaker 1: in my entire life. Getting to see baseball and Olympic
Speaker 1: Stadium was crazy. There's no fans there, so people didn't clap,
Speaker 1: you know what they used to do These seats, so
Speaker 1: it's like one plastic kind of thing for your rear
Speaker 1: end and then like another free standing weird plastic thing
Speaker 1: for your back it was like a black rod that
Speaker 1: connected the two of them.
Speaker 2: It was the most you're describing like total recall.
Speaker 1: It's a very total recall, Stanley Kubrick. Almost sort of
Speaker 1: torture device. But my point is they rip your eyes
Speaker 1: open to like watch watch Vladimir Guerrero before he doesn't
Speaker 1: play here anymore.
Speaker 2: But is that the person the way?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Sorry, you finished, and I'll ask you this question.
Speaker 1: Okay, So they didn't clap. They used to bang the seats,
Speaker 1: the plastic seats next to them because nobody was sitting
Speaker 1: next to anybody, and that's how they would make noise,
Speaker 1: like bang, bang, bang bang. It was the wildest thing,
Speaker 1: weird stuff. There was karaoke stuff going on. There were
Speaker 1: tribute bands, the weirdest tasting hot dogs. Upie cough medicine. Yes,
Speaker 1: up cough medicine. It was purchased. I did try it,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it explains a lot of why I
Speaker 1: am the way I am today.
Speaker 2: So are you sure this is a baseball game that
Speaker 2: you were at?
Speaker 1: It was a baseball weekend. I went there with my cousin.
Speaker 1: They asked us, why are you coming to Canada? And
Speaker 1: I said, We're gonna see the expos and sure enough,
Speaker 1: there we go. Next thing, you know, the.
Speaker 2: Player you think of when you think of the old expos.
Speaker 1: Oh god, you know, that's a great question. Tim rains
Speaker 1: probably first. I still think Gary Carter, even though his Mets,
Speaker 1: Tim rains him. Andres Galaraga comes to mind, Dennis Martinez
Speaker 1: Presidente comes to mind. And then the later exposed like
Speaker 1: the Larry Walker into the you know, Delino Deshield's Marquise
Speaker 1: Grissom ninety four expos were really fun. And then later
Speaker 1: of course Bladdie, but that's.
Speaker 2: A bladdy is actually mine, like my my brain.
Speaker 1: Jose Andre Dawson or Andrea and Andrea Dawson, isn't she?
Speaker 1: I think she was the secretary for the the traveling
Speaker 1: secretary for the team. I think at one point. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to the headlines here and let's start or
Speaker 1: traveling executive assistant. Is that what it's called?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Bobby Miller goes in the eel. Nobody
Speaker 1: nobody saw this coming. That was kind of a wacky
Speaker 1: thing that happened. MRI was clean, so that's good news.
Speaker 1: Five to seven days of rest and then we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens Welsh concerns about Bobby Miller real quick before
Speaker 1: we go to the next picture, working the way back
Speaker 1: from injury.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, I put them on the trade
Speaker 2: for video. So in the trade video we're talking about
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller and then wham, he gets hurt. Sure, any
Speaker 2: of these guys getting hurt is a concern. Any of
Speaker 2: these guys that are pumping really really high velocity and
Speaker 2: have got discrepancies with their secondaries. People have been making
Speaker 2: lists on Twitter and stuff of who are the next
Speaker 2: guys to fall Bobby Miller's he's one of those players
Speaker 2: that we're staring at that's like, oh, this might not
Speaker 2: get not not might not be great. But also it's
Speaker 2: a six man rotation team that is going to minimize
Speaker 2: some of the pictures. So yeah, it's it's a little
Speaker 2: bit more than concerning.
Speaker 1: I like all the old expos names or something there.
Speaker 1: But you know what, you get them cheaper now. If
Speaker 1: you made the you're making a trade off for Bobby Miller,
Speaker 1: maybe get him really cheap now.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's something to get any picture on the IL,
Speaker 2: but like like it's risky, like how it is any
Speaker 2: guy that's on the aisle, even if you think they're
Speaker 2: like okay, like what are you really willing to unload?
Speaker 2: While they're on the il. We look at uh, Edward
Speaker 2: of Rodriguez, you know, ed Ward of Rodriguez. Diamondbacks kept
Speaker 2: being like, Oh, everything's gonna be cool, and he's ninety
Speaker 2: five percent blah blah blah, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: another set back because of tightness, and he's sitting back
Speaker 2: down like it's just one little tiny thing. With a
Speaker 2: lot of these guys, I think it's a really tough
Speaker 2: effort to go and trade for any picture at this point.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, my trade video's coming out
Speaker 2: today or tomorrow. The short's already out there. I've got,
Speaker 2: I believe one picture on it and it's a sell,
Speaker 2: and I think it's gonna be hard pressed to be
Speaker 2: buying a lot of pictures right now.
Speaker 1: All right. Justin Verlander's shoulder had a rough rehab start
Speaker 1: this weekend. I don't know how much I care about that,
Speaker 1: except the fact he's forty one and he's coming off
Speaker 1: a shoulder issue. So those are the two things that
Speaker 1: have me a little worried about this. Outside of Christian Javier,
Speaker 1: the pitching has not been good. The Astros have not
Speaker 1: been good again. I'm trying not to get too crazy
Speaker 1: about this, but it is something where I'm a little concerned.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie normally, I'll be like, whatever, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Verlander's just working on stuff. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: He doesn't need to do it, but you know it
Speaker 1: does at the stage in his career at forty one.
Speaker 1: Bring me a little bit good news for the Padres.
Speaker 1: They got a w over the Dodgers. Jerks and Profar
Speaker 1: and Manny Bacchiado hitting homers in this one. Profar, what
Speaker 1: a hot start and still available in a lot of
Speaker 1: leagues in three, twenty one, four, five, thirty six slash,
Speaker 1: two homers, thirteen rebies in eighteen games. What do you
Speaker 1: make of this Profar start? I feel like we've been
Speaker 1: here before, Welsh and I don't want to waste any
Speaker 1: fab on it. But what do you think?
Speaker 2: I think it's a good streamable bat also ridiculous by
Speaker 2: the way, if you saw it this weekend, Gavin Stone
Speaker 2: had a perfect game and threw like inside and jerks
Speaker 2: and Profar was ready to get the benches to clear
Speaker 2: like he threw at him like Buddy he's got a
Speaker 2: perfect game going. It was an accident, and it's also
Speaker 2: a young pitcher. But you know, Jerks and Profar is
Speaker 2: the reason that the whole Tommy Fam situation didn't happen.
Speaker 2: If people saw the reports that John Hayman reported that
Speaker 2: Tommy Fam is like really close to signing with the
Speaker 2: White Sox. Well, that he's gonna go play there, that's
Speaker 2: just extending your career to whatever it is that is.
Speaker 2: But you know, the rumor was he was gonna lock
Speaker 2: in with the Padres. But not only has Jackson Merrill
Speaker 2: been so incredible hitting over three hundred, got to a
Speaker 2: leadoff spot this weekend, and the Profar has been really
Speaker 2: good as well, and it's been more than serviceable. So
Speaker 2: you know, Profar was a reason they moved away from
Speaker 2: Tommy Fam and any external options. But I think Profar
Speaker 2: is probably not more than like, hey, I'm down some outfielders, replaceable,
Speaker 2: burn and churn type of bat. I'm not trying to
Speaker 2: pick him up for a long term.
Speaker 1: Makes sense. I guess Fam too. They'll probably sign him
Speaker 1: and then they'll flip him in a couple of months.
Speaker 1: You know, that seems to be the Tommy Fam. You
Speaker 1: know story at least he'll probably go hit three.
Speaker 2: He'll probably go hit three for the White Sox early on,
Speaker 2: which is actually, you should go pick up Tommy Fam
Speaker 2: right now, just for that opportunity. And then you're right,
Speaker 2: he goes, and he goes and gets traded to you know,
Speaker 2: whoever the hell that's in the playoff contention of Cubs
Speaker 2: or something like that, and then becomes even more fantasy relevant.
Speaker 2: So it's a really good time to go pick him up.
Speaker 1: You know. The funny part about that is too, it's
Speaker 1: like you now understand why the Cole loss twenty four
Speaker 1: hour thing happened too. It's like, oh, we're just gonna
Speaker 1: go aside Tommy Fam Like, okay, that's a great move,
Speaker 1: White Sox. That makes a lot of sense. Michael Bush
Speaker 1: two for four with a homer. When a Welsh's favorite
Speaker 1: guy's going into the season, Welsh, I listened to you.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy I did. I got him cheap in
Speaker 1: my salary cap league. I think I got him for
Speaker 1: six bucks. I think in that three twenty seven, three
Speaker 1: ninety three, six ninety four slash and again still available
Speaker 1: in like thirty forty percent of leagues heading into this freakingsaction.
Speaker 1: I didn't see what the roster ship is after this weekend.
Speaker 1: It's probably more like eighty. But yesterday I did the
Speaker 1: TV and he was at I want to say, sixty
Speaker 1: four percent rostered, and I was just crazy, especially when
Speaker 1: you consider Josh Young out, Royce Lewis out, Michael Bush
Speaker 1: is just sitting there. I mean, I don't understand, but
Speaker 1: great call by. You want to give Welsh some love
Speaker 1: because he's not feeling happy because later we're going have
Speaker 1: to spin a wheel for Homer, so I want to
Speaker 1: pump you up a little bit.
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that. I actually I will tell you this.
Speaker 2: He is one of the headlines of the video of
Speaker 2: the trade video that's coming out, and he's been awesome.
Speaker 2: So you say, what are you talking about? But the
Speaker 2: whole crux of it is like, I don't know, Well,
Speaker 2: I do know, based on the ownership still being what
Speaker 2: it is, based on someone in the Lucas just said,
Speaker 2: can I drop camon Aro for Bush? Bush is still
Speaker 2: available out there. So for Bush to still be available
Speaker 2: out there, that tells me a some leagues have not
Speaker 2: caught up. But also I don't think owners are caught
Speaker 2: up to what potentially could be the top one hundred
Speaker 2: value of Michael Bush this year. So I'm actually advocating
Speaker 2: for trading for a player that is already good because
Speaker 2: I think he can be a top one hundred guy
Speaker 2: this year. The hard hit numbers look good. He's getting
Speaker 2: the ball in the air, he's barreling. I think it
Speaker 2: was like seventeen percent last I look, everything is chalking up.
Speaker 2: It's a good environment for him to hit. I just
Speaker 2: don't think we've caught up to where the value is
Speaker 2: going to be. Sitting mixed nex to the rest of
Speaker 2: the season. I don't think he's going to stay at
Speaker 2: the tippy top of some of the stuff he's doing.
Speaker 2: But when he levels out and we look at the
Speaker 2: end of the year, it's gonna be like twenty five
Speaker 2: plus homers. He's gonna have good RBI and run numbers. Yes,
Speaker 2: you should pick him up. The canon Aro ones really
Speaker 2: interesting because Camanaro just came back from the IL last
Speaker 2: night and hit a homer in his first game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna get to that. I mean that
Speaker 1: was fast from the quad injury, which is Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is surprising. I was actually talking to somebody yesterday about
Speaker 1: Camonaro in the morning and I was like, ah, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll probably have to wait on him,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, boom he's back and I
Speaker 1: was like, what was do a double take there?
Speaker 2: My problem with him has been like the Rays sending
Speaker 2: him down, not making the commitment. I just don't know
Speaker 2: how quick. Like remember that. It was like a week
Speaker 2: ago someone got mad at me for being like, you
Speaker 2: could probably drop Camonaro. They're like, that's bad advice, and
Speaker 2: it's like with duh, I love camon Aro, but if
Speaker 2: you don't have Camonaro until May, and there's really good
Speaker 2: options out there, like a Michael Bush, I think you
Speaker 2: can make that move because we just don't know how
Speaker 2: long we're going have to wait. But Camonaro will be
Speaker 2: a fab buster as far as as fab and number
Speaker 2: one waiver picks go. But Michael Bush is one of
Speaker 2: those players as well. So I am all for going
Speaker 2: to pick him up and uh and write it out
Speaker 2: and make maybe even go make some trades, but go
Speaker 2: listen to the video. I'll make an even bigger case
Speaker 2: for Michael Bush.
Speaker 1: That guy telling you, by the way, was me. The
Speaker 1: guy telling you you're stupid.
Speaker 2: We told you what.
Speaker 1: I disagreed with you at the time, and I disagree
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 2: I mean I still disagreed, like cutting Junior Cameronaro. But
Speaker 2: there's a lot of you guys have played like three
Speaker 2: bench leagues and stuff like that, and it's like, how
Speaker 2: long do you want to eat? Do you want to
Speaker 2: eat a month of of no production? That's kind of
Speaker 2: my argument. I'm not dropping him for like some someone.
Speaker 1: Asked me James Wood or Junior Caminaro? Who gets the
Speaker 1: major leagues first?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: I think it's like both are June guys. End of June.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say cam and Arrow. But I would not
Speaker 2: be shocked if like next week, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, he's been off the chart. Me ops, that's fourteen hundred.
Speaker 1: By the way, another Expo. I don't see anybody dropping
Speaker 1: yet in the chats of favorite expos, and there's been
Speaker 1: some good ones. Hubi Brooks, come on, Huby Brooks owned
Speaker 1: this logo back in the day.
Speaker 2: But Randy, by the way, my boy Randy, that's for
Speaker 2: his rookie car Randy with the expos.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that organization had Randy Johnson and Pagro
Speaker 1: martinezn't it.
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, I think about that all the time.
Speaker 1: Also, like the I get what at one time, like
Speaker 1: you could look and be like what would have been
Speaker 1: had certain circumstances just kind of and look, Randy Johnson
Speaker 1: was a hot mess back then. You know, he couldn't
Speaker 1: throw strikes. They traded him and in Seattle it was
Speaker 1: a chance meeting with Nolan Ryan that turned everything around.
Speaker 1: That's a great story. It's there's a reel on it somewhere.
Speaker 1: I saw that. That's what you gotta say. Now you
Speaker 1: can't say, oh, was on TV. I saw a reel.
Speaker 1: Good luck trying to find it. But if you put
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson Nolan Ryan or something like that and they
Speaker 1: would go probably find it. But he talks about the
Speaker 1: chance meeting with Nolan Ryan and it changed his whole
Speaker 1: perspective about pitching and that was it, and that, I
Speaker 1: want to say, the next game or whatever it was
Speaker 1: they were facing, they were in a series, and that's
Speaker 1: how he got to talk to him. And he was
Speaker 1: with the Texas Rangers at the time, so the end
Speaker 1: of Nolan Ryan's career and that game he went out there,
Speaker 1: he had like ten strike coouts or something that was
Speaker 1: like the literal pivot point for the rest of his career.
Speaker 1: Wild stuff, man, could you imagine?
Speaker 2: That's cool?
Speaker 1: Good job by the schedule makers. All right, a couple
Speaker 1: of things here by low batch boy Corbin Carroll didn't
Speaker 1: hit any home runs really, but look he's hitting two
Speaker 1: thirty three, three thirty three obp a three seventeen slash
Speaker 1: one homer on the year. It's been rough for him,
Speaker 1: Christian and Carnassion Strand also been pretty rough. He's hitting
Speaker 1: a buck eighty five twenty strikeouts right now, just one walk.
Speaker 1: That's not good. He's still hitting in the three spot.
Speaker 1: So CS Corbyn Carroll, who are you buying on harder?
Speaker 1: I assume, Carol, But it's gonna cost you more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Strand still has some of the elements,
Speaker 2: you know, some of the hard hit numbers and stuff
Speaker 2: are getting there. But the swing and miss I don't know, man.
Speaker 2: The Corbyn Carroll stuff is this is gonna be the
Speaker 2: toughest one for me because it looks like garbage. But
Speaker 2: it is still so early. It is still very very early.
Speaker 2: It is April fifteenth. But he has been the most
Speaker 2: aggressive and I know last year you have that whole
Speaker 2: thing where he's like, I don't walk and he was
Speaker 2: hyper aggressive. There's a part of me which is like,
Speaker 2: we could get some reporter to ask like, is this
Speaker 2: a part of your game too early in the season,
Speaker 2: be hyper aggressive and back it down because I don't
Speaker 2: know what is he I'd have to see the numbers.
Speaker 2: Might swing it more for strikes than any player in
Speaker 2: baseball right now, but I think it's hard to gauge.
Speaker 2: I actually think his game is like so anomaly like
Speaker 2: that I don't know what we can pull from it,
Speaker 2: which is why he's just to buy. You gotta go
Speaker 2: on like talent in general, because his hard hit number
Speaker 2: is like twenty percent because he doesn't hit the ball
Speaker 2: and he doesn't hit it consistently. Is average EV's eighty two,
Speaker 2: but he's walking a ton, his barrel percentage is on target.
Speaker 2: His XBA is starting to kind of get together here.
Speaker 2: I think some people can argue that the shoulder might
Speaker 2: be something lingering. I think there's something that's going on
Speaker 2: with his process. But in the trade video, I have
Speaker 2: a huge name that you should go buy, and it's
Speaker 2: not corbyck Carroll. Corby Carrol would be another one of
Speaker 2: those if somebody is really really super frustrated, so yeah,
Speaker 2: you go and buy in him. But I will not
Speaker 2: lie that I'm not a little bit concerned with what
Speaker 2: he's putting out there, because there's a lot of bad
Speaker 2: in his game right now. I'm just hoping this is
Speaker 2: part of the process. I am just making excuses.
Speaker 1: A couple other fun expo names I haven't seen in
Speaker 1: the chat yet Ken Hill, John Wetland. There's some fun
Speaker 1: names too, guy ken Hill, that guy might.
Speaker 2: Good like mid nineties up. Like that's like where a
Speaker 2: lot of things registered to me.
Speaker 1: Right, well, but that's the difference. That's fine, right, some
Speaker 1: pitchers that big of an age, that big. But no,
Speaker 1: but but there's that game that gap too. Of like
Speaker 1: when I go to college and you know the begins
Speaker 1: you're in middle school. I think, yeah, because how it's
Speaker 1: very different. I am now the Big four to five.
Speaker 2: Oh it, you know, one week from today, I'm good.
Speaker 2: You do look great. One week from today, I'm going
Speaker 2: to be the Big four to one. So that's why
Speaker 2: we're not that old. But I don't know if I
Speaker 2: said on this show, but Verlander is the last bastion
Speaker 2: by the way of players that are older than me
Speaker 2: in baseball, so it's going to be very very.
Speaker 1: Oh that's why I did it so hard for Tom
Speaker 1: Bray to keep coming back to still playing football. I
Speaker 1: still felt very young. Luis Castillo goes to H to four.
Speaker 1: You have a three earned three runs, becuse me, two
Speaker 1: of them were earned this way. Just struck out nine
Speaker 1: guys twenty three swings and misses. Again, you know, it's
Speaker 1: a bad situation. Was an error, and then Michael Bush
Speaker 1: took advantage of it. Anybody who was sitting there with
Speaker 1: Luis Cassio, oh four, just hold tight, and anybody in
Speaker 1: your league that's panicking, go make a trade off or
Speaker 1: for them, please go go get Louis Castillo.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: In fact, now was the time I would double down
Speaker 1: on Cy Young stuff, because if he goes and continues
Speaker 1: to just rattle off and be awesome rest of the season,
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's gonna care about April. Nobod's gonna remember.
Speaker 1: And the number is bigger right now than it was
Speaker 1: when the season started.
Speaker 2: I'm actually not I don't hate that.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: My big future bet in the al Cy Young was
Speaker 2: Cordin burns Now. I did it right after his first start.
Speaker 2: I don't look that great right now. He has done
Speaker 2: nothing to take hold of that award. It's open, and
Speaker 2: I don't think any of these four three four starts
Speaker 2: for the year have taken anybody out of that race,
Speaker 2: not even my George Kirby one, not Luis Castillo. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I thought Castillo was getting back to his
Speaker 2: old self in this last start, so I don't hate
Speaker 2: that at all.
Speaker 1: By the way, right, let's get to some of the
Speaker 1: late boys. Blake Snell seven runs on six hits and
Speaker 1: four innings, Jordan Montgomery seven runs on three and two
Speaker 1: thurs innings in triple A and the rehab start or whatever,
Speaker 1: just ramp up start, what the hell we wanted to
Speaker 1: call it? So again as predicted struggles struggles in April
Speaker 1: for those guys, So not too surprising there. Hazels Lozzardo
Speaker 1: also struggled five runs five innings against the Braves. It
Speaker 1: was against the Braves. So if you want to buy
Speaker 1: low for the next good start that I'm sure is
Speaker 1: coming eventually, you can. Here's some fun stuff here. The
Speaker 1: Cubs have reached agreement with free agent right hander Julio
Speaker 1: teyrn so Tayarran got signed by the Mets. One start
Speaker 1: DFAD doesn't matter White Sox. As we mentioned earlier closing
Speaker 1: it on Tommy fam and Jose Abray, you Welsh over four.
Speaker 1: Now the average is sitting at one eleven. Let's go,
Speaker 1: here's what I'm really excited about. Well, two things. First,
Speaker 1: I'm excited to look how excited he is. Two for
Speaker 1: this Jackson, little Jackson Holiday is.
Speaker 2: So just what I did this weekend. I did something cool.
Speaker 1: I got my first big league hit. Oh boy, let's
Speaker 1: talk about that. Actually, let's start with that. Jackson Holliday
Speaker 1: got his first major league hit. How excited is he? Oh?
Speaker 2: Boys?
Speaker 1: So good?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 1: And also, you know everyone was saying, who the hell
Speaker 1: is Joe talking about with his Jose Bhuto guy? Right, well,
Speaker 1: Jose the booty man, mister Butz himself nine strikeouts and
Speaker 1: six inns against the Royals who've been red hot. I
Speaker 1: picked him up everywhere because I don't think he's going
Speaker 1: anywhere in this rotation. I don't care what any pr
Speaker 1: is gonna tell you. I don't care. This guy's gonna
Speaker 1: stick around. I told you I watched him in the spring. Welsh,
Speaker 1: this guy is works quick attacks the strike zone. He's
Speaker 1: a bigger kid. He looks very confident. All the stuff
Speaker 1: that we talked about with George Kirby that was missing
Speaker 1: from that Kirby start, that's all the stuff that I
Speaker 1: saw in Jose Buto in spring, and I went, this
Speaker 1: guy's ready give it. I know Christian Scott's pitch very
Speaker 1: well too. I'm not trying to say I'm excited about
Speaker 1: the Mets, but I'm excited about Jose Buttou and I
Speaker 1: think that's an opportunity here where in your deeper leagues
Speaker 1: you're desperate for pitching stream this guy. I know the
Speaker 1: next matchup is probably not the best one for him.
Speaker 1: I think he's get the Dodgers this week. He gets
Speaker 1: somebody rough this week, all I know, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Get him on your roster. What'd you think of this
Speaker 1: nine shrike out before him? I mean, you beat Cole
Speaker 1: Reagan's out there, let's go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the booty man looked pretty good. I watched a
Speaker 2: lot of this because I'm a big, fat, stupid idiot
Speaker 2: who took the under in Reagan's strikeouts, So I was
Speaker 2: watching that one. I don't know why I did that,
Speaker 2: but he looked great. I wish I had made a
Speaker 2: bet on Budo. His VLO was sitting right around ninety four.
Speaker 2: He had sixteen whiffs. He had more swinging whiffs than
Speaker 2: Cole Reagan's in the game. He had four plus on
Speaker 2: the fastball, slider and change up, an over fifty percent
Speaker 2: whiff rate on his slider and change up. And you know,
Speaker 2: his zone rates don't look great, but he was around
Speaker 2: the zone the whole time. It's pretty deceptive. I thought
Speaker 2: it was a pretty impressive outing. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it's enough to like hold Christian Scott at bay for
Speaker 2: a long time, but it's enough to give him more
Speaker 2: opportunity and pretty good strikeout option. I think it's streamable
Speaker 2: when he's not against the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, although I think it depends on what Dodgers starter
Speaker 1: you're getting, because Bobby Miller ain't there. And just as
Speaker 1: long as they Tyler Glass, now we'll see. I think
Speaker 1: it was the Dodgers. And look here's Mike Mayor finally
Speaker 1: saying Andre Skolla rage. I said that at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the show.
Speaker 2: I mean, let me thanks for tuning in my Yeah, why.
Speaker 1: Don't you go make an appointment with on Dawson and see,
Speaker 1: uh that goes some other rookies. Mason Miller struck out
Speaker 1: all three guys. He was still on the waiver wire
Speaker 1: in my home league. Don't know how that happened. If
Speaker 1: somebody had to drop him last week and I just
Speaker 1: didn't notice, but I picked him up to holiday again.
Speaker 1: Congrats on the first tip of Mason Miller. Very good.
Speaker 1: Now Kylie McDaniel is going to get the call for
Speaker 1: the Mariners. Uh A guy speedster, I think is the
Speaker 1: way you know we could talk about him, uh slashing
Speaker 1: three oh eight, four oh four, six forty one with
Speaker 1: a pair of.
Speaker 2: Homer What's that you said? You said, McDaniels, I'm sorry, Kyler,
Speaker 2: excuse me if Kylie got called out by the Mariner's
Speaker 2: good for Kylie. Congratulations Kylie. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was reading Kylie McDaniel of ESPN reporting that Jonathan
Speaker 1: Jonathan class a. I'm sorry. I just I read it
Speaker 1: so fast, I got so excited. I know it's all good,
Speaker 1: it's all good. My apologies, but I still said Andres Galaraga.
Speaker 1: So Jonathan class which obviously was named by Tony Danza
Speaker 1: in UH in the eighties sitcom who's the boss. Jonathan
Speaker 1: Jenatin's gonna get called up. Jonathan's the speeds their. I
Speaker 1: know Kylie might be fast too. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think Kylie could probably put numbers.
Speaker 1: But here we go. What do you think about this
Speaker 1: call up for classe?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I love I actually love class folks.
Speaker 1: It's Monday.
Speaker 2: I know we have a little relationship because since the
Speaker 2: Complex League and Rookie Ball, he's been out there. Dude
Speaker 2: is just and we follow each other and Instagram and
Speaker 2: all that, and like he's continuously gotten biggers, continuously put
Speaker 2: up big stats. His problem has always been that it's
Speaker 2: a pretty big swing and miss in his game, which
Speaker 2: I think is lowered a bit this year. But he's
Speaker 2: a big old counting stats guy. He can run, he
Speaker 2: can hit for power. This is the type of guy
Speaker 2: that can put up video game type of numbers. I
Speaker 2: just don't know if he will do that from a
Speaker 2: consistent standpoint. But the Mariners offense, thanks, they're so bad,
Speaker 2: so I don't I don't blame them, or I'm not
Speaker 2: surprised that they would try to do something to infuse
Speaker 2: some offense into this. And I think this is the guy,
Speaker 2: so he might be worth checking out deeper leagues. I
Speaker 2: definitely think so twelve man, you probably hold off. I
Speaker 2: just don't know if he'll have enough playing time, but
Speaker 2: I will tell you if the contact is in play.
Speaker 2: This is a dude that's gonna be combo meals, you know,
Speaker 2: every other game. This is a Homer Stolen based type
Speaker 2: of guy. But I'm just worried about thirty five percent
Speaker 2: swinging misrates, so we'll watch for it. He's a speculative
Speaker 2: ad in like deeper twelve plus nothing lower.
Speaker 1: Also just throwing this out there too, when you're looking
Speaker 1: at some of these younger players. I mean, it is April,
Speaker 1: but I think you should be aggressive on some names here,
Speaker 1: especially look Seattle. Right now, I'm saying there collective by
Speaker 1: low as a team, Julio is doing his normal Julio stuff.
Speaker 1: I got looked at the career sixty games of Julio
Speaker 1: in April. Now we have sixty games of his career.
Speaker 1: I think he's hitting like two thirty in that span.
Speaker 1: He's got like an ops of six hundred.
Speaker 2: Oh you mean like through the first month or something.
Speaker 1: The first month. Yeah, his career number is in April.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, yeah, that is April headline is my
Speaker 2: trade video is who Yeah headline and I did this
Speaker 2: last year?
Speaker 1: Wit yeah, Kirby, Julio Hojre Palanko's done nothing Castillo for
Speaker 1: I know Castell had a good strike up day, but
Speaker 1: still people get bent out of shape. They say, oh
Speaker 1: for four, they start freaking out. Buy on the Mariners, folks,
Speaker 1: buy on the Mariners everywhere. All right, three up and
Speaker 1: three down, let's go through these real quick. Zach Gallon
Speaker 1: a really good Sunday for him, seven strikeouts and six innings,
Speaker 1: shut out baseball there of the Cardinals, which isn't that
Speaker 1: hard to do nowadays. Cole Reagan's we mentioned, look we're
Speaker 1: trolling them a little bit. He did go six innings,
Speaker 1: struck out eight, So that's solid for We'll take that.
Speaker 1: Who the thought. Jose Burrios is the port in the storm,
Speaker 1: the guy that you can count on every single week
Speaker 1: for good start seven shoutout endings for him, Yeah, with
Speaker 1: the Rockies. But still he's been really good.
Speaker 2: He had an under twenty percent k rate going into
Speaker 2: that game. I'm gonna actually almost put him on the
Speaker 2: like trade away video. Expected era x fit much higher
Speaker 2: than his actual numbers. His strikeout rate has been really low.
Speaker 2: It's been fine, but then you get a rocky start
Speaker 2: that just like inflates and makes all the numbers better.
Speaker 2: I don't know, just like pay attention to him. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he has been really good, but this was the strikeout
Speaker 2: performance and it takes the Rockies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. All right, Three down here James
Speaker 1: Paxton Again, like I said, it depends well, but it
Speaker 1: depends on which Dodger pitcher's out there right now. Paxton
Speaker 1: was not good walking everybody eight walks at five innings.
Speaker 1: Nadie Valdi bad star for him, five runs, eight hits.
Speaker 1: He had been so good, so I was against the
Speaker 1: Astros were a good lineup. All right, we'll give him pass.
Speaker 1: But Michael Garcia two now zero for four, struck out
Speaker 1: three times against the Mets. He's now four for thirty six. Welsh,
Speaker 1: Are you worried he's gonna get dropped back to nine
Speaker 1: in the order.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that is the next play for them.
Speaker 2: One hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: Who becomes the one guy in that Royals order? Because
Speaker 1: I think everybody needs to know that.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, but this is okay, but it's tricky because
Speaker 2: Salve just got hurt and the guy that they used
Speaker 2: to do this with was m J. Melndez. They like
Speaker 2: to put MJ. Melendez up at the leadoff spot and
Speaker 2: then have Bobby Witt go to Maybe that's what they do,
Speaker 2: maybe Lofton Lofton's been getting some other opportunities. I don't
Speaker 2: know so what they're gonna do, but the lineup gets
Speaker 2: a little bit more tricky. Case Salve got just like
Speaker 2: foot right in the inner thigh or whatever. And I
Speaker 2: think with Starling Marte in that game, so I don't
Speaker 2: know if he's gonna miss some time, so they may
Speaker 2: alter some of the lineup, but the likely situation is
Speaker 2: as Garcia struggles go to nine, I would say, my
Speaker 2: guts is MJ. Melendez would be the lead off guy.
Speaker 1: Well, see, Melendez is one of my guys too that
Speaker 1: i'd be selling high on because you look at his
Speaker 1: career strikeout right, and it's way higher than what you've
Speaker 1: seen so far. And I don't think he's changed his
Speaker 1: stripes necessarily. I think it's just been a good couple weeks,
Speaker 1: so the the regression is coming from him at some point.
Speaker 1: So that'll be really interesting to see if he goes
Speaker 1: up to the top of that order. Here's a question
Speaker 1: for Big Dance before we get to the injuries. Francisco Alvarez, Jonaheim,
Speaker 1: Logan O Hoppy? Who would rather have rest of season?
Speaker 2: Oh? I still say Hoppy? Yeah, it's Alvarez or a
Speaker 2: Hoppy somewhere in there. I mean, there's no offense that
Speaker 2: jumps out. Jonaheim has not been not been it. It's
Speaker 2: one of those two. I'm fine with Francisco Avers. I
Speaker 2: think the offensive upside is maybe a little bit bigger,
Speaker 2: a little bit more consistency with Logan O Hoppy.
Speaker 1: Here's one from Laser Sharp. Who would rather have Jung
Speaker 1: hu Lei, Colton Kowser or Lars newtpar.
Speaker 2: Colton Kowser, Colton Kowser lighting the world on fire?
Speaker 1: Sure is all right, Let's get to the injuries. Framber
Speaker 1: Valdez told reporters on Sunday that he's hoping to resume
Speaker 1: throwing on Tuesday, So that's good. Cody Bradford, who is
Speaker 1: singing the praises all week, he pops up with a
Speaker 1: lower back issue. He's on the I L. JD. Davis
Speaker 1: with a groin strain. Jameson ty On said he's gonna
Speaker 1: be back with the Cubs in his next start will
Speaker 1: be with the big club. But then here's another one too,
Speaker 1: Emitt Shehan of the Dodgers. Apparently things are not going
Speaker 1: well for him, so he's gonna stick on that il
Speaker 1: with that four arm issue. So another pitcher again, Walker Bueller,
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, Emits Sheehan, Bobby Miller. You know, the one
Speaker 1: thing that can undo the Dodgers who are big, too big,
Speaker 1: I say, too big to fail is injuries, especially injuries
Speaker 1: to the pitching. And so far there's been a lot
Speaker 1: of them. Regardless, they're still you know, kicking ass and
Speaker 1: taking names because that lineup is so good.
Speaker 2: But at some point that does catch up with you.
Speaker 1: And if James Paxton keeps walking the ballpark, that's not
Speaker 1: going to help either.
Speaker 2: I completely agree. I'm surprised they haven't been in the market,
Speaker 2: but it's like, how many pictures if everyone was healthy,
Speaker 2: they wouldn't know what the hell to do with themselves.
Speaker 2: They've got so many pictures that are slanging around there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's probably something they're going to have to
Speaker 2: pay attention to to see if there's anything available on
Speaker 2: the market, because they are dropping like flies.
Speaker 1: I know everybody is super excited about what's coming soon
Speaker 1: is the Wheel of Homers. Welsh has the wheel, so
Speaker 1: stick with us, everybody. The wheel is going to be here.
Speaker 1: We're gonna spin the wheel. It's a very fun looking wheel.
Speaker 1: Welsh made it and is I don't know would you
Speaker 1: do this? This is on your weekend. This was your
Speaker 1: weekend project. You did your taxes and you made a wheel.
Speaker 1: Home runs. I love arts and CRAFLI. But before we
Speaker 1: get to the wheel, we got to get to the bets.
Speaker 1: So it's time, lazy and gentlemen for Mondays Best Bets
Speaker 1: of the Day with Joey P and the Welsh. It
Speaker 1: was a good Friday. Freddy Parolta came through for me.
Speaker 1: Let's go Freddy Pea. I told you, Freddie P you
Speaker 1: laugh at me when I said, look, I put money
Speaker 1: on Strider because it was too good not to put
Speaker 1: money on Strider. It was still very plus. But Freddy
Speaker 1: Prault was the other guy that I heavily invested in
Speaker 1: for Cy Young in the National League. So far Freddy
Speaker 1: p looks pretty good. But let's talk about today. Ronald
Speaker 1: Acunya is facing Spencer Araghetty of the Houston Astros. It
Speaker 1: is my favorite bet of the day. It's the bet
Speaker 1: we put on Social plus one seventy to go over
Speaker 1: half a stolen base. So Ronald Cooney's just got to
Speaker 1: get a steal. Ronald Cooney's gonna see five at bats
Speaker 1: in this game, maybe six if things break right. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now. With the way Araghetty's given out
Speaker 1: free passes, Ronald Cooney is gonna be on first base
Speaker 1: at some point and he's gonna turn it into a
Speaker 1: double order triple. Something's gonna happen there. So I love
Speaker 1: this one plus than money here one seventy. Oh, I
Speaker 1: love it. Cardinals minus one and a half on the
Speaker 1: run line plus one hundred against the Oakland A's Sonny
Speaker 1: Gray looked good in his return. I expect him to
Speaker 1: be good against Oakland today, even though it is a
Speaker 1: matchup where Oakland has played better. Oakland has more wins
Speaker 1: than the White Sox, which I just love. I think
Speaker 1: that's just the I think it's six and two. We're
Speaker 1: going into yesterday's action. I don't remember what it is now.
Speaker 1: I think it now. It's seven wins for the A's,
Speaker 1: two wins for the White Sox. I think something to
Speaker 1: that effect. I have to look at the stand, but anyway,
Speaker 1: I digress Mike Trout another good opportunity for him. Over
Speaker 1: one and a half total basis, you're getting plus one
Speaker 1: twenty five. This is one of the favorites on our
Speaker 1: prop bet cheat sheet over on betting pros dot com,
Speaker 1: which you should check out too. And of course make
Speaker 1: sure when you're making your wagers you're doing it over
Speaker 1: with our sponsor bet three six five bet five bucks
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifty and bonus bets when you
Speaker 1: use the promo code leading off. So use the promo code,
Speaker 1: make your wagers, and if you're feeling really crazy today
Speaker 1: you want a little parlay action, Philly's money line minus
Speaker 1: two seventy five, Dodgers money line with glass Now on
Speaker 1: the hill minus three sixty and the Diamondbacks with Merle
Speaker 1: our Boy Merril Kelly on the mound minus one fifty two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of minus, but if you put the
Speaker 1: three of them together on the money line, you get
Speaker 1: plus one eighty eight for three outings for Nola, for
Speaker 1: glass Now and for Meryl Kelly that I think are
Speaker 1: gonna be locked. So let's go for that at plus
Speaker 1: one eighty eight. That is your parlay of the day. Welsh,
Speaker 1: what do you have for the people on the betting slate?
Speaker 2: All right, Kansas City, they've been good. I love me
Speaker 2: some Seth Lugo. They're gonna be against the Chicago White Sox,
Speaker 2: who have Nick Nastrini making his major league debut. Nothing
Speaker 2: against Estrini, he's actually pretty solid, but Seth Lugo pretty
Speaker 2: pretty good. White Sox so averaging just over one run
Speaker 2: per the first five innings, while the Royals are top
Speaker 2: ten in the league, averaging over three runs in the
Speaker 2: first five innings. So I am taking the Royals to
Speaker 2: be up by one run through the first five innings.
Speaker 2: You can get that at minus one ten. Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 2: If I had a choice to make my home run
Speaker 2: call today, I would probably pick Kyle Schwarber up against
Speaker 2: Colorado and Cal Quantrill, who has got three homers in
Speaker 2: his career. So instead, I'm gonna go with the total
Speaker 2: basover Kyle Schwarber over one and a half total bases
Speaker 2: that's minus one ten, and then little Parley put together.
Speaker 2: You mentioned Sonny Gray, Well, give me the Cardinals money line.
Speaker 2: With sunny Gray and then the Dodgers to be up
Speaker 2: by one and a half runs. That is a plus
Speaker 2: one forty two parlay together. Those are my three that's
Speaker 2: of the day.
Speaker 1: There you have it, everybody, make sure you download the
Speaker 1: betting pros app Use that bad boy. It is spectacular.
Speaker 1: We've got NFL Draft coming around two. Those are the
Speaker 1: best bets of the day. And don't forget make all
Speaker 1: your bets at bet three sixty five with that promo
Speaker 1: code leading off now Welsh Lucky for me, I can
Speaker 1: pick whoever I want. Here's what the big board looks
Speaker 1: like for home runs. I have gone down to fifth.
Speaker 1: I am still tied for second. Though I'm fifth on
Speaker 1: the board, I'm tied for second. Still got eight Vlad
Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior that were giving away his bat. I tried
Speaker 1: to break him off his schneid because I'm the slumpbuster.
Speaker 1: I couldn't even help Vlad Guerrero Junr. So Vladdie, you're
Speaker 1: dead to me today. We're gonna move on. But by

Speaker 1: Here it is. Wheel of Homer is now off.

Speaker 1: I said, well, let's lock up the schwar bombs. Mister
Speaker 1: wahwah himself. So Welsh, what do you have? Let's spin
Speaker 1: this wheel. Who's on the wheel?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so here's what you got. You've got Davis is
Speaker 2: on the wheel.
Speaker 1: Hurt we have is?
Speaker 2: Is he hurt?
Speaker 1: Well?

Speaker 2: Mike Trout is the winner. I actually would have been
Speaker 2: pretty funny to go with, to go with our boy
Speaker 2: Jackson Holiday. But Mike travel, I.
Speaker 1: Mean I would have loved to have seen that. But
Speaker 1: there you have it, so hopefully this works. I love this.
Speaker 1: This is amazing. Uh, so I as much as I
Speaker 1: want now Mike Trout to hit all home run. Here's
Speaker 1: the question. If Mike Trout hits home run, do you
Speaker 1: stick with the wheel?
Speaker 2: This is in charge. I thought about one. The wheel
Speaker 2: did right, we moved back on. But here's the worry
Speaker 2: is like, what if I went week to week, the
Speaker 2: wheel might do better than I'm doing at this point.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, but we'll see, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2: But today it's Mike Trout. The wheel has decided. It's
Speaker 2: no different than me making the choice at this point.
Speaker 2: But that's a pretty good one.
Speaker 1: Big Dan says, well, Trout's getting hurt today. Lol. There
Speaker 1: you go.
Speaker 2: The wheel doesn't do you wrong. Now, you guys don't
Speaker 2: understand the power of the wheel. You're about to learn
Speaker 2: the power of the wheel today. Everybody.
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited to be back tomorrow to see
