Speaker 1: It's great. Welsh has got the trade video. I believe it.
Speaker 1: It hasn't dropped yet, but I believe it's dropping any minute.
Speaker 2: Now soon When will now?
Speaker 1: When?
Speaker 2: Will then be now soon?
Speaker 1: Soon soon? That's that's two times we've gotten to use
Speaker 1: that reference this week, which is great.
Speaker 2: That's not from what's Spaceballs?
Speaker 1: Of course so great. In Spaceballs, Ricordats is so great too.
Speaker 1: I can't think of a bad Rick Marinas movie.
Speaker 2: You know, I would say, because everyone's gonna go to
Speaker 2: Honeye Shrunk the Kids and stuff like that, or Zoltar
Speaker 2: or whatever he was in Ghostbusters, but him as Dark
Speaker 2: Helmet was greatest, one of the greatest performances of all time.
Speaker 2: It's an old movie. It's my absolute favorite space Balls.
Speaker 2: It is great, and he is he steals the show
Speaker 2: in the whole movie.
Speaker 1: Because Drewish princesses love money and power and I have both.
Speaker 1: He's just he's just this, and you don't realize every
Speaker 1: now and then you have to just kind of take
Speaker 1: the perspective of how big the helmet is and how
Speaker 1: little of a man he is. Is hysterical I think
Speaker 1: about it. He's a little Giants, which is amazing. He's
Speaker 1: in Ghostbusters, he is in we were just talked about
Speaker 1: the Spaceballs. I mean that the whole Rick Morana's canon
Speaker 1: is pretty like unbelievable. I'm sure there's a ton of movies.
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting to what is he?
Speaker 2: What's the last thing?
Speaker 1: Life? A couple of years ago he got knocked out
Speaker 1: in New York. Some random person punched him. Punched him, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like punched him. He was assaulted. Oh, Little Shop
Speaker 1: of Horrors. Another Rick Moran. That's a looking great one. Parenthood,
Speaker 1: amazing movie with Steve Martin. He's fantastic. My Blue Heaven another.
Speaker 1: There's some bad movies here as I'm looking. There are
Speaker 1: a few bad ones like what any Well, you know,
Speaker 1: there's some ones that are a little up, you know, like, uh,
Speaker 1: let's see the foot Stones.
Speaker 2: But what's the last movie he did? Like how long ago.
Speaker 1: That it's been a while he basically kind of semi retired.
Speaker 1: But the man is a national treasure, even though he's Canadians.
Speaker 2: So I can't you never interrupt me when I'm playing
Speaker 2: with my dolls.
Speaker 1: I know I didn't see you playing with your dolls again, sir,
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the baseball, and uh, I
Speaker 1: can't believe it. We're getting Bryce Harper. So here we are.
Speaker 1: This is happening. Well, she is unbelievable. And had I
Speaker 1: known that we were going to get Bryce Harper this early,
Speaker 1: I would have drafted him with the second round pick,
Speaker 1: because you know how I felt about Tattias, and I
Speaker 1: was taking him with practically a first round pick anyway,
Speaker 1: because he was missing two weeks. If I knew Harper
Speaker 1: was just missing a month, I would have been like, yeah,
Speaker 1: given to me in in you know, the late second round,
Speaker 1: early third round. One hundred percent. I'm still concerned. I
Speaker 1: am cautiously optimistic. But what are your thoughts, feelings, emotions
Speaker 1: about the Harper imminent return here that we're going to get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's really big. To your point, you
Speaker 2: know what, we got Tatis in the what like like
Speaker 2: mid second round, knowing we were going to miss the
Speaker 2: twenty days. If you knew it was going to be
Speaker 2: like two more weeks, Harper would have probably been I think,
Speaker 2: like an early third round pick, like somewhere between. Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: probably he's somewhere in there, maybe even scratch right at
Speaker 2: the top of the or the end of the second,
Speaker 2: somewhere in the third. But this is huge though. I
Speaker 2: think there is a big worry from a lot of people.
Speaker 2: And I'm actually very curious Joe, your thought on this
Speaker 2: if there is a theoretical cell high moment right now,
Speaker 2: So just follow me for a second. Obviously, you if
Speaker 2: you drafted him, especially in redraft, you've sat, you've hung out,
Speaker 2: you're good to go. But if you're a worrying worrier
Speaker 2: at all that he's coming back so early, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of people are worrying worrier.
Speaker 1: It's like a worry wart, I believe exactly. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what that is. A worry ward. But if
Speaker 1: you because.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of you out there that are just like, oh,
Speaker 2: these guys are gonna get hurt used to be back
Speaker 2: on the idle.
Speaker 1: I'm worrying July.
Speaker 2: So do you trade trade that you today might be
Speaker 2: one of the absolute high I mean, obviously, if he
Speaker 2: goes and performs high blah blah blah, that'd be good.
Speaker 2: But he's going to be a DH. He's coming back early.
Speaker 2: I do not feel this way, But I'm curious, would
Speaker 2: you consider trading him at the highest of level, almost
Speaker 2: trading him like a prospect, you know, highest trade values
Speaker 2: before he plays.
Speaker 1: It depends on where I you know, it depends on
Speaker 1: what my cost was to get him. Probably I'm just
Speaker 1: holding now because I'm just loving life that I have
Speaker 1: him on my roster and we're a month in and
Speaker 1: I think, no.
Speaker 2: I mean, I agree with this. I agree with all
Speaker 2: of this. The bat is here. It's exciting. He'll be
Speaker 2: a DH and everything like that. But it is a
Speaker 2: little bit soon. It's a little bit sooner than it's
Speaker 2: a little but it's impactful. I got multiple teams. I
Speaker 2: got to put him in my lineup today. It's going
Speaker 2: to be good for the Phillies in general. And just
Speaker 2: ride it.
Speaker 1: All right, the Mets are activating Max Sures or he's
Speaker 1: not gonna bitch today though, because some slight weather concerns,
Speaker 1: so they just said let's let's go out tomorrow instead.
Speaker 1: So far Shures around the year three seven two ERA
Speaker 1: one point one nine whips seventeen k's to nine walks
Speaker 1: in nineteen innings. So it's been a little up and down.
Speaker 1: Mariso Dubon, though, was a player on my waiver wire
Speaker 1: video a few weeks ago, plural weeks with an s
Speaker 1: and the guy has just continued to do nothing but
Speaker 1: hit three for five yesterday with a double, two runs,
Speaker 1: a stolen base. I can't tell on everybody. It's not
Speaker 1: like you're gonna get power out of this guy. But
Speaker 1: as long as especially once Chas McCormick went down, who
Speaker 1: was also playing well at the time in Hue at
Speaker 1: the top of this order, he sort of took over
Speaker 1: in that spot. And Dubon was a player who was
Speaker 1: a roster percentage was so low, and I just said,
Speaker 1: look at this guy, at least in the stop gap.
Speaker 1: You've got a great opportunity here to get some runs scored.
Speaker 1: You got a great opportunity to get some batting average,
Speaker 1: which is a hard thing to find. So Dubon has
Speaker 1: been terrific this year, one of the I think unsung
Speaker 1: heroes of the at least the Houston Astros lineup.
Speaker 2: Well in the ability to lead off. You know, the
Speaker 2: Astros are always looking for a guy to lead off.
Speaker 2: He's fast, he makes contact. It's just a good environment
Speaker 2: for him to score a lot of runs as well.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think he's sneaky. He's sneaky, and the
Speaker 2: Astros just want to like stick a guy there and
Speaker 2: just not worry about it anymore. That's what they try
Speaker 2: to do with Jeremy Pania. Dubon might be it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to a fun bit of news another day.
Speaker 1: Another young starting pitcher, Bryce Miller. So we're getting Miller
Speaker 1: versus Miller today, which is really Miller time. It's going
Speaker 1: to be enormous Miller time. So far in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: a double A again making the jump here, Bryce Miller
Speaker 1: from double A. Right? Was that my looking at the
Speaker 1: wrong stats here? No?
Speaker 2: No, you're right about this, you know, because yeah, Bryce,
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you remember, Bryce was like
Speaker 2: the very first guy I spoke to in spring training.
Speaker 2: This was one of those guys I was able to
Speaker 2: chat with during spring. He was so good, like he
Speaker 2: was fooling the major leaguers on this team. But you know,
Speaker 2: obviously they had their roster set they wanted to send
Speaker 2: him down. I don't know why they put him at
Speaker 2: double A. He didn't perform well, which means I was
Speaker 2: gonna say.
Speaker 1: The era has been terrible. He's at six cra so
Speaker 1: and they keep saying they want to get quote an
Speaker 1: extended look at him. So this is a little perplexing
Speaker 1: because then a lot of people are looking again for
Speaker 1: more pitching because we have these pitching injuries. So this
Speaker 1: jump to double A after the spring performance and the
Speaker 1: bad double A, do you think this is just sulking
Speaker 1: for him a little bit? What do you mean, in
Speaker 1: other words, like you expected maybe to be a triple
Speaker 1: A this year, maybe expected, you know, if he performed
Speaker 1: well in the spring, things will go better. The fact
Speaker 1: he's been a double A, do you think that he's
Speaker 1: been disappointed. He's kind of taken that personally and that's
Speaker 1: hence the performance.
Speaker 2: No, he's actually like he's a super like thought broach
Speaker 2: like chill type of dude. He is a total cool
Speaker 2: cucumber to the fullest. So I don't think so at all.
Speaker 2: What I do think is interesting, and I wonder I
Speaker 2: didn't really like look into it is if there was
Speaker 2: a thought and think about this for a second. Obviously,
Speaker 2: the Mariners Triple A plays PCL and maybe they didn't
Speaker 2: want to put their pictures in that environment. And they've
Speaker 2: got all their top prospects for a double A Bryce Miller,
Speaker 2: Dollard Emerson, Hancock, Prelander, so maybe the environment that they
Speaker 2: wanted their pictures to be in was in a Double
Speaker 2: A environment and not kind of set them back in
Speaker 2: Triple A. Just a thought here, but Bryce Miller almost
Speaker 2: had a rotation spot coming out of spring, and he's
Speaker 2: the guy that he had. He did what everybody else did.
Speaker 2: He kind of scrapped a traditional slider and he turned
Speaker 2: into a gyro and a sweeper, and he had actually
Speaker 2: said that the I think it was the sweeper he's
Speaker 2: more comfortable with right now. And then you've also got
Speaker 2: that gyro, So you've got two points of a slider,
Speaker 2: a great fastball. This guy has a awesome arsenal and
Speaker 2: I actually think he's going to surprise, and you know,
Speaker 2: maybe I'm just a little like, Oh, because I've been
Speaker 2: around him much, I think he outperforms the other Miller
Speaker 2: Mason Spy tonight. And I'm a big speculate on Bryce
Speaker 2: Miller guy. Right now, I would pick him up.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a little bit of a run. Here
Speaker 1: a lot of questions too, I see about Matthew Libator
Speaker 1: in the chat. I mean, look, I told you two
Speaker 1: weeks ago to add this guy. I mean you should
Speaker 1: be adding him without a doubt, and by now he's
Speaker 1: still I mean the ross percent just still low. So
Speaker 1: you should definitely go out there and acquire him. Here's
Speaker 1: an interesting one too. The Twins activated Alex Kirolov from
Speaker 1: the ten day il yesterday. The option with Triple A,
Speaker 1: which we kind of talked about was going to happen
Speaker 1: at Triple A hitting three sixteen with four dingers, two
Speaker 1: steals in eleven games this year. Should people be adding
Speaker 1: Alex Kirolov because he's another guy that I think might
Speaker 1: make my waiver wire video once I kind of look
Speaker 1: at some of the across the board roster percentages of it.
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, Like I want to say yeah because
Speaker 2: I'm a stupid believer in him.
Speaker 1: Still, but I mean would you rather be throwing. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can think about this like Aaron judgment on the il. Right,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in a second. Obviously that's a
Speaker 1: very big deal. We were saving that for the injury quotation,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of big injuries to get to,
Speaker 1: Like you're trying to plug that spot right now. Krol
Speaker 1: Off is up enough time to help with that.
Speaker 2: No, But see that's my problem is like, right, I
Speaker 2: don't see where the spot is. He someone has to
Speaker 2: go down for the twins for him to come back up,
Speaker 2: and it's got to be very specific. It's gonna have
Speaker 2: to be like a left fielder, a d H first space,
Speaker 2: it has to be Gallo again. So I just I
Speaker 2: don't see where the spot's gonna come from because of
Speaker 2: I guess you could say it's like his lack of
Speaker 2: versatility right now because Larnick's not giving up anytime. Gallo
Speaker 2: has been actually a hot bat, so like I want him,
Speaker 2: I just don't know when it's going to happen, And
Speaker 2: I just don't know what the translation is going to be.
Speaker 2: So as cool as it is, I probably would go
Speaker 2: in different directions with guys that are still crazy under
Speaker 2: fifty percent owned in so many leagues. I mean, the
Speaker 2: amount of Swinsky not being owned is absurd to me.
Speaker 2: So I would probably pass on kirol Off until like
Speaker 2: the moment someone is injured then you could bring him up,
Speaker 2: because I just think it'd be like holding on to
Speaker 2: him too long.
Speaker 1: Adam Wainwright coming back from the groin injury. Nine strikeouts
Speaker 1: and five and two thirds on Sunday for him, by
Speaker 1: the way, in that final tune up starts, so he
Speaker 1: should be He could be floating around in some leagues
Speaker 1: right now undrafted. No, let's get to the meat potatoes here,
Speaker 1: because the Astro's rotation is taken. It's been a bad
Speaker 1: couple of days. It's been a bad week for the
Speaker 1: astros rotation. On Monday's Joe, we were just talking about
Speaker 1: like Man and they got Hunter Brown and they've got
Speaker 1: Christian Javier and they're doing for Amber Valdez. They're starting
Speaker 1: to really, really good and then Garcia gets hurt removed
Speaker 1: from the start last eight.
Speaker 2: Pitches into that pitches, watching that game, because I took
Speaker 2: the inverse, if everybody listened on the betting side, I
Speaker 2: take the Giants plus five through the first five that
Speaker 2: cash but I was paying attention. I saw Garcia come
Speaker 2: out and I was like, Oh, we're gonna take this,
Speaker 2: and then they gave up run and then they got
Speaker 2: it all back. But that was really worrisome because eight
Speaker 2: pitches in did not look good. And it's it's on
Speaker 2: the lines of like the d Gram. You know, anytime
Speaker 2: you're hearing these arm injuries, you're just like, okay, well
Speaker 2: we're done well.
Speaker 1: And on top of that, Equidi is on the fifteen
Speaker 1: AIO with the shoulder issue, so we got one with
Speaker 1: an elbow, one with a shoulder. Both are very concerning.
Speaker 1: Where do the Astros go here for starting pitching because
Speaker 1: it's a good team and look, Hunter Brown's been very fruitful,
Speaker 1: So who's next man up for them? In your opinion?
Speaker 2: Well, as weird as it might sound, it actually might
Speaker 2: be forced Whitley time. I mean, I'm having a hard
Speaker 2: time figuring.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought the answer would be, too, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to hear someone else say it besides me,
Speaker 1: Well they've.
Speaker 2: Got I think it's JP franc It's out there that
Speaker 2: could be someone that you know, they could go down
Speaker 2: that road, cause I think he's been pretty decent. The
Speaker 2: problem is is Whitley really bad era so far? But
Speaker 2: underlying metrics as far as like strikeouts have been there.
Speaker 2: But the yeah, I'm looking, the walk totals are high,
Speaker 2: the home run totals are high. I just don't know
Speaker 2: if they would if they would ensure any trust in
Speaker 2: putting him out there, you know what. I just don't
Speaker 2: know if I would speculate regardless, even if it's one
Speaker 2: of those guys, even if it's like France or Whitley,
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would want to be carrying
Speaker 2: or holding on to either of those guys.
Speaker 1: Those are happy to numbers out there. So his six era,
Speaker 1: unlike Ryce Miller sixt yr, is actually from the PCL,
Speaker 1: So that's what's in it to say.
Speaker 2: And his X fif's a little bit better. It's like
Speaker 2: five eight four, but the home run numbers are pretty alarming,
Speaker 2: not leaving anybody on base, and he's walking for I just, man,
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a great question. I just don't
Speaker 2: think it matters because they've got two.
Speaker 1: It's not honestly, if you can grab both those guys
Speaker 1: for nothing and wait and find out because there's two spots.
Speaker 1: So it almost is like if you have the roster
Speaker 1: depth to do it in a deeper league. Yeah, have
Speaker 1: the two. You see what's going on, and hopefully one
Speaker 1: of them is good and there's gonna be opportunity here.
Speaker 1: There's two open spots in the rotation there.
Speaker 2: This is another one of those teams though that it's
Speaker 2: like we've talked about this with the Mariners where it's
Speaker 2: like if they could start to get aggressive with anybody,
Speaker 2: I feel like the Astros would might want to give
Speaker 2: a call around, like we talked about Edward or someone
Speaker 2: will talk about in the trade video. But also the
Speaker 2: White Sox. You know that it's a team that everybody's
Speaker 2: kind of looking at maybe moving just they could probably
Speaker 2: use like anything than what they have right now.
Speaker 1: These back to back injuries. If I'm the Astros, I'm
Speaker 1: on the phone to Detroit today because there's no way
Speaker 1: you're getting both of these guys, Like, there's no way
Speaker 1: you're not getting negative news on at least one of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're talking out for the year kind of thing. Like
Speaker 1: it just feels like one of those situations. Potentially Rodriguez
Speaker 1: would be a huge get for them, And look, they've
Speaker 1: still got some pieces in order to move I mean,
Speaker 1: I know they're not quite you know, as stacked as
Speaker 1: they used to be, but the Astro still have some
Speaker 1: pieces they can get the job like that done. The
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge ten day il stint retroactor to the twenty
Speaker 1: eighth with a right hip strain. Here's the Yankee order tonight.
Speaker 1: You're ready for this Welsh Anthony Volpi, Anthony Rizzo, Anthony
Speaker 1: Gliber Torrez now just Glaber Torres, DJ Lemayhew, Willie Calhoun,
Speaker 1: Harrison Bader, Oswaldo Gabrera, IKF and Kyle Higashioka. This feels
Speaker 1: like something the Tigers would be running out like this
Speaker 1: is not good Welsh, like this is a rough This
Speaker 1: is not the Yankees lineup right here. Andy's on the
Speaker 1: mount tonight, by the they.
Speaker 2: Could use a couple of Tony's in there with their
Speaker 2: Anthony's as well, would be good. I mean, I like
Speaker 2: Bibby a lot tonight. Yeah, no, it's not good. It's
Speaker 2: the depth has not been good. They've got the slew
Speaker 2: of rookies that they're putting out there, but with some
Speaker 2: garbage type of play. It's actually amazing to me. I
Speaker 2: was thinking, like you see these videos that the Padres
Speaker 2: winning and like Routen o'dor is in the background, and
Speaker 2: then the Yankees are trotting now like Willie Calhoun, like
Speaker 2: I can't believe these guys are still in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the Yankees need some help.
Speaker 1: I like this one, Wonkey says, send Lance Linda Houston. Yes, please,
Speaker 1: let's go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. Out of the White Sox.
Speaker 1: Just just get out of there. It's just crazy right now.
Speaker 2: I could see the Astros moving someone like uh, Pedro Leone,
Speaker 2: and then like you know, because White Sox love the
Speaker 2: Cuban players, and then maybe like a pitcher, and then
Speaker 2: getting Lancelin. I don't know what the what would the
Speaker 2: White Sox be holding on to anymore so that that
Speaker 2: actually might be it. There might be a fit there,
Speaker 2: but god knows when the hell these trades start going down.
Speaker 1: Walkey saying that's not an actual lineup. Yes it is.
Speaker 1: It's on fantasy Labs right now and I'm looking at
Speaker 1: so that's that's what they projected lineup is going to be.
Speaker 1: But it's it's been a rough year for them. Also
Speaker 1: a rough day at least for Ronald Acuna. He got
Speaker 1: blasted in the shoulder by a pitch. I shouldn't laugh.
Speaker 1: It's sad he got hurt.
Speaker 2: No, why are you laughing about that.
Speaker 1: I'm a Mets fan and you know, Rondacunia has been
Speaker 1: killing them for years now, and somebody finally just you know,
Speaker 1: threw a high entitle him. It nailed him. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is what they used to do back in the day,
Speaker 1: Back in my day, they should throw inside. Done, guys,
Speaker 1: But nobody gets out of the way. Everyone's jumping in
Speaker 1: the plate because nobody fears anybody. You know, Patri Martinez
Speaker 1: was a great picture. But part of the reason Patri
Speaker 1: Martinez was such a great picture because you were intimidated
Speaker 1: and afraid he was gonna back you off the plate.
Speaker 1: He was gonna dust you if he had to. You
Speaker 1: don't see any fear nowadays with all I mean, is
Speaker 1: there a picture, in your opinion, maybe a Sureser or
Speaker 1: somebody like that like that really that pitches inside or
Speaker 1: that you fear a little bit if you're I don't
Speaker 1: think there's anybody out there that's intimidating.
Speaker 2: It's sure, sure's there's number one.
Speaker 1: Suresier's number one for me too. But people forget, like
Speaker 1: Brandy Johnson, Paedro Martinez. Yes, they were great at their craft,
Speaker 1: but part of their craft was that intimidation factor. And
Speaker 1: these guys get plungng sometimes because they just don't see
Speaker 1: it coming, because they have no fear whatsoever of anybody
Speaker 1: throwing inside on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying to think of like any other guys.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, pinpoint accuracy. There's there's a lot
Speaker 2: of focus on. I mean, how many guys do you
Speaker 2: really look at these days also and look and see
Speaker 2: that like maddox esque command of the zone. I think
Speaker 2: there's less of those guys. I'm not trying to say
Speaker 2: that everyone's a thrower now, but the art of pitching
Speaker 2: also has become a lot more about eye deception and
Speaker 2: fooling where it's going than it is pinpointing points in
Speaker 2: the zone. Not to say the guys don't do it,
Speaker 2: but that's probably a part of it, because guys are like, yeah, well,
Speaker 2: you know, I can't hit the zone, but I can
Speaker 2: spin this three thousand and this is gonna screw with
Speaker 2: everyone's eyes. So I think it's a little bit less
Speaker 2: trust in that that's just not part of the game anymore.
Speaker 1: There was nothing more terrifying when you get up to
Speaker 1: the plate and knowing somebody is going to throw inside
Speaker 1: on you. I give it. At the high school level,
Speaker 1: you knew, you knew kids and certain teams, and sudden
Speaker 1: you were playing in some of those higher level travel teams,
Speaker 1: like you knew some of those guys out there. If
Speaker 1: you're playing a couple of rounds with them, you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you would have watched this guy.
Speaker 2: A little bit right about like an MLB the show,
Speaker 2: like like I did it last night to Bogman playing
Speaker 2: like old school baseball. Someone hits a homer and then
Speaker 2: they throw it guy. Yeah, yeah, I had something happening.
Speaker 2: And then Bogman had Ricky Henderson in. I plunked Ricky
Speaker 2: right away. I don't care if he's on base. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna let.
Speaker 1: Him know what you can have, Ricky Henderson. That's great.
Speaker 2: That's this summer.
Speaker 1: I will get it so I can hang out and play.
Speaker 2: The get it now, come on, let's get going.
Speaker 1: I can't I am coaching football. I'm writing another black book.
Speaker 1: I got no time. Maybe in June, that's the best
Speaker 1: I could do for you. Best I could do is June.
Speaker 1: Carlos Carrasco on track to return next week, so all
Speaker 1: the Mets pictures are coming back. Verlander's coming back, Shorts
Speaker 1: is coming back, Carrasco's going back. We'll see how it
Speaker 1: all goes down. Uh Luis Everarino also set to rejoin
Speaker 1: the rotation in the next two to three weeks, so
Speaker 1: he's gonna believe one. I see, well, Herman was very
Speaker 1: good yesterday, not that they did anything with it, but
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? Three up and three down
Speaker 1: from yesterday? Mookie Betts three for five with a homer,
Speaker 1: a double, three Ribies in a big win over the Phillies.
Speaker 1: We targeted them yesterday. Is a Taiwan walker, Let's go
Speaker 1: against him. Fernando Tatis Junior three for five with a
Speaker 1: run scored over the Reds. And speaking of the Reds,
Speaker 1: we talk about Nick Senzel three for four with a homer.
Speaker 1: What the hell's going on here? You want to talk
Speaker 1: about post post post post hype sleeper. Is Nick Senzel
Speaker 1: figured it out? Or is this just we've stepped into
Speaker 1: like the upside down here? What's going on?
Speaker 2: I mean, if there is something I'm getting wrong this year,
Speaker 2: it is giving the proper attribution to players that are
Speaker 2: turning around. Because what year is this? Cody Bellinger elite,
Speaker 2: Jared Kelnick looks better than Julio right now, and Nixon
Speaker 2: Zel is going back. This is the wild world of
Speaker 2: prospects that didn't work out and it's actually happening. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think it's fine. I don't My problem with Nixon's
Speaker 2: O at the end of the day is I don't
Speaker 2: actually think he'll ever be a great counting stats player. Bellinger, huge,
Speaker 2: homer steels, bases, Kelnick kind of the same thing. I
Speaker 2: think Nick Sinzel great. If he's feeling it and he's
Speaker 2: starting to hit better, this is awesome. I still think
Speaker 2: he's like guy to maybe fifteen guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a more of a pointly guy. And
Speaker 1: it's so funny because coming in that draft class and
Speaker 1: he just got pretty good on this stuff. That was
Speaker 1: the guy that I thought was the most major league ready.
Speaker 1: That was the guy that I thought was a really
Speaker 1: polished college Harry was gonna come in and he was
Speaker 1: just gonna be a good major league girl. I didn't
Speaker 1: think it was gonna be superstar, but I thought he
Speaker 1: was the quickest riser. And I know about the only
Speaker 1: one Jonathan Mayo I actually had on my show talking
Speaker 1: about the same exact thing, and he agreed with me.
Speaker 1: It's one of those rare prospects that I was completely
Speaker 1: wrong about, and maybe there's still time. But I've also
Speaker 1: been a fun ride here for the last week.
Speaker 2: The only thing that might be different about him than
Speaker 2: like if we if we just want to use like
Speaker 2: Kelnick is like the bar here. I know a lot
Speaker 2: of people anytime any prospect is not good, everyone puts
Speaker 2: Joe Deell in the chat and stuff. But the difference is, well,
Speaker 2: he's been good this year in the minor league. Fine,
Speaker 2: he's still doing his stuff. Nixon Zell is just always hurt.
Speaker 2: He's consistently hurt. So think about the maturation time, the
Speaker 2: time missed to fix and work through and become a
Speaker 2: better player. Look at Jerry, I think.
Speaker 1: About Busted Welsh Buxton was the same thing. He was
Speaker 1: hurt every single year, and I always thought that was
Speaker 1: for a guy who was more athlete than baseball player.
Speaker 1: Those developmental years were essential. I think it's why he
Speaker 1: never became As I said, my comp for him was
Speaker 1: going to be Eric Davis if he figured it out well, and.
Speaker 2: It took a little bit. It took a while but like,
Speaker 2: look at Jaron Duran right now, Jared Duran has had
Speaker 2: what you would call like a couple rough years. He
Speaker 2: looks phenomenal right now. He's completely changed his approach. He's
Speaker 2: hitting left, he's like crazy, He's hitting both sides of
Speaker 2: the plate. He's showing power because he's more comfortable, and
Speaker 2: that was a little bit more consistent time though he
Speaker 2: was sent up and down. Nixon Zel it is like,
Speaker 2: like hurts his ankle, he's got like a little headache,
Speaker 2: he breaks something. It's always hurt. He's always out, he's
Speaker 2: always missing games. The consistency of learning has kind of
Speaker 2: escaped him. And then you know, you have to piece
Speaker 2: together what might take a guy, you know, one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty games, you know, over one season or two seasons.
Speaker 2: It's taking him like two hundred and fifty over like
Speaker 2: four seasons. So that's kind of a little bit of
Speaker 2: the difference. So yeah, I'm I'm I'm open to the
Speaker 2: possibility that he is back, but I still see him
Speaker 2: as like a fifteen to fifteen type of guy.
Speaker 1: All right, here are some of the downs from yesterday.
Speaker 1: Taiwan Walker again, eight earned runs, you three and a third,
Speaker 1: Luke Weaver not good. Nine hits for earned runs. He
Speaker 1: is his he alres at seven eight eight, walkers at
Speaker 1: six nine one and Jose Burrios. There we go, we
Speaker 1: got it. There he is there, he is. I see you,
Speaker 1: I see the real Jose. I see you at the
Speaker 1: five innings, the five and a third, eleven hits, five
Speaker 1: or two dingers he gave up there? What a does z?
Speaker 1: What a hot mess? You know, like he is a
Speaker 1: I don't like to throw this around, but he's disappointing,
Speaker 1: just disappointing, Like.
Speaker 2: What that guy parent You're like, I'm not mad, I'm just.
Speaker 1: I'm just domina. I'm I'm mad and disappointed. If I
Speaker 1: could be both of those things. You know what doesn't
Speaker 1: make me mad? Actually, what's rarely disappointing? Price picks. That's right.

Speaker 1: good strikeout day.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of good strikers.
Speaker 1: John, I'm so invested today. Let's go. What do you
Speaker 1: got for the people? All right?
Speaker 2: So what have I put together here? I have got
Speaker 2: on the prize picks today. Speaking of strikeouts, Hunter Brown
Speaker 2: and Sandy Alcontra combo strikeouts at twelve and a half.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the over on that because I
Speaker 2: very much like Hunter Brown today and I like a
Speaker 2: Contra both on separate bets. I'm going with Wander Franco
Speaker 2: score seven and a half, little heater and Joe Ryan's
Speaker 2: score thirty seven and a half, and I think he
Speaker 2: has hit that number three or four out of the
Speaker 2: last five, and it's going up against White Sox, which
Speaker 2: I'm attacking at all times. So that is my three picks,
Speaker 2: even though you can go up to five on price
Speaker 2: picks if you want, those are my three twenty one
Speaker 2: hundred cash it baby, let's cash yesterday. The stupid uh,
Speaker 2: the stupid first run home is the only thing that
Speaker 2: killed me with what's his name, I'll have Giants Pitcher.
Speaker 2: I completely forgetting the stupid Giants Pitcher Yesterday, Stripling Ross Trippling,
Speaker 2: driving out that first.
Speaker 1: Join the betting group, everybody bettingpros dot com slash leading
Speaker 1: off because I want to tell everybody the the winner
Speaker 1: for the month of April, very very proud of this person.
Speaker 1: It's me. I have the high percentage, by the way,
Speaker 1: for the month of April, but the best ROI belongs
Speaker 1: to Mike Cata Mikta one. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's Mikata one mickeyato one. I don't know how to
Speaker 1: say it, but Mick, you won.
Speaker 2: You put your fingers out, hey, mkata one.
Speaker 1: So Mick, what we need you to do is reach
Speaker 1: out to us. Hit up, Mike mayor. We were going
Speaker 1: to take care of you. Get you some nice things here,
Speaker 1: maybe a little betting pro something to something. We'll see,
Speaker 1: but we congratulations. A month of April twelve and a
Speaker 1: half return on investment, very good sixty three point two
Speaker 1: percent winning percentage for him very good as well. I
Speaker 1: was at seventeen percent, so a little higher for me,
Speaker 1: and right behind him winning percentage was sixty one point
Speaker 1: two for the month of April. So congratulations to Mikada. One.
Speaker 1: Let's get in touch with obviously you're watching the shows,
Speaker 1: you're hanging out with us. We're gonna get you in
Speaker 1: touch with Mike Mayor. We're gonna have your reach out
Speaker 1: to you and we're gonna get you something nice there.
Speaker 1: So I encourage everybody a month and may just started.
Speaker 1: Come get on the wagon. Today. I got so many bets.
Speaker 1: Wesh oh, I got out so many bets. Joey lukazy
Speaker 1: I said over four and a half, you get a
Speaker 1: minus one O nine Stram five and a half. K's
Speaker 1: gonna go the over here. I know betting pros is
Speaker 1: saying the under, but he's been really good and the
Speaker 1: lefties with the Dodgers sometimes give them a little bit
Speaker 1: of trouble. Hunter Brown six and a half strikeouts. I
Speaker 1: know betting pros is saying the under against San Frand,
Speaker 1: I think he can go the over. I really I'm
Speaker 1: over on everybody today. It's so many strikeouts today, Welsh,
Speaker 1: four and a half are Bryce Elder such a small number.
Speaker 1: Gotta go the over on that one, Tanner Biby just
Speaker 1: four and a half, I gotta go the over. It's
Speaker 1: just a small number. Zach Gallon six and a half over,
Speaker 1: the guy's been dominant Texas strikes out a ton and
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan's at five and a half. You can get
Speaker 1: that in some spots right now over on betting pros
Speaker 1: five and a half. That's absurd, go get that. So again,
Speaker 1: it's it's a day of overs and strikeouts. I've got one, two, three, four, five, six,
Speaker 1: seven eight basically out there. I think I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: six for eight today on these overs. That's what I think.
Speaker 1: That's my prediction. What do you think, Welsh? What do
Speaker 1: you guys? You got out there for betting wise today?
Speaker 2: By the way, even mention it, it's even on the
Speaker 2: sheet here. I was third in both winning percentage in
Speaker 2: r Live for everybody a while, so I decide to
Speaker 2: that for last month I would have been much higher too,
Speaker 2: if we just could attract my team total runs through
Speaker 2: the first five, we'll get there. But today I do
Speaker 2: have one of those. But I'm going to start with
Speaker 2: the case. I am one hundred percent with you on
Speaker 2: Hunter Brown strikeouts. I took it as a straight up bet,
Speaker 2: so six and a half over. I'm taking Sandy o
Speaker 2: contract and Tanner byby and I'm pairing them together and
Speaker 2: I'm getting plus two hundred. Definitely comfortable putting them separate
Speaker 2: if you can find the right juice, which I'm not
Speaker 2: one hundred percent sure, so that's why I paired them together.
Speaker 2: So now I did see Sandy at six and a
Speaker 2: half in some places, So I did this last night
Speaker 2: Sandy five and a half byby five and a half,
Speaker 2: both over comboed, and then my team total run play.
Speaker 2: So far today, the only one I've locked in is
Speaker 2: Minnesota two and a half over through the first five again. Chicago.
Speaker 2: I'm actually doing that again just because it is Michael
Speaker 2: Kopek and he has been luck and hopefully I'll have
Speaker 2: a few other bets that'll be out there. But make
Speaker 2: sure that everybody joins up on the betting program.
Speaker 1: Love Ryan today, and also I think Biby and the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Guardians can beat Eric Cole tonight. That's right, they
Speaker 1: are big underdogs tonight, and buy yeah, yeah, I did. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Cole's fantastic. But I think at a certain point when
Speaker 1: you look at the offense of the bullpen and can
Speaker 1: they get him enough runs? That's the question. And can
Speaker 1: Biby go out there and throw another gym like you
Speaker 1: did last time. It's enough of an underdog that I'm
Speaker 1: on it. The other thing I'm on which is really cool.
Speaker 1: In fact, I was watching a bunch of videos. I
Speaker 1: got stuck in a rabbit hole watching some guy just
Speaker 1: open up old baseball car packs. I don't know how
Speaker 1: I got into this last night. Just start watching it,
Speaker 1: just flipping through, and there is the thing. And I
Speaker 1: started watching all the videos. It's hilarious, like you know,
Speaker 1: packs from the eighties and nineties. But if you like
Speaker 1: that sort of feel, then you're gonna love So Rare.

Speaker 1: so I figure, you know, if I'm gonna be ice cold,
Speaker 1: I might as well hang out with the Polar Bear.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, who's the home run call for the day?
Speaker 2: As torn, I got two choices in my head, and
Speaker 2: I'm actually going with the second choice. So that means
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger is gonna hit a homer tonight because I
Speaker 2: want to hit him, but it's also one of those
Speaker 2: like he's been so hot, it's like he can't keep
Speaker 2: hitting homers. I'm actually going with Ryan Mountcastle going up
Speaker 2: against Ryan Yarborough and the Royal. So give me Ryan
Speaker 2: Mountcastle for the home run call today, even though Bellinger
Speaker 2: was call him a name all.
Speaker 1: Right, And the home run board is a good one again.
