This is the best 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.479 part about this Welsh is it's almost like you and 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:41.080 I are window dressing here, Like really, they're just here 0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.040 to talk to themselves and kind of hear us in 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:44.560 the background. Are you starting to get that feeling? 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:48.200 Yeah, I kind of kind of just like everybody, thanks 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.320 for hanging out. I mean that is what happens when 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.720 you build like a great community, is that the community 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.640 just kind of thrives and it's an ecosystem around you 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:58.640 and we're we're just a part of it instead of 0:00:58.680 --> 0:00:59.120 being it. 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:00.400 If that means sense. 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:02.640 Look, I don't care. I just want to be a 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:04.720 part of it, that's all I got. I just want 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.600 to be in the room where it happens, that's all. 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.760 I just want to dance with somebody. 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:14.160 I want to feel a hit with somebody. You already 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:15.960 to do a baseball show in the middle of all 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.759 the conversations and then set well, I'm sure they'll be singing. 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.360 I want to bring up this before I even get 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.600 the show started today because this I saw this on 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:27.160 the social media's and I thought this was unbelievable. So 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.920 this young lady goes to the Blue Jays game. Have 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:30.399 you seen this? 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:31.400 I never seen it. 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.600 So she gets hit in the face with one hundred 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:41.160 and ten Max Villow in the face off of Bobashit. Now, look, 0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.560 if you have a squeamish disposition, don't look at this. 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.520 But I have a slide here because Ethan's amazing and 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.720 made me a slide. So poor Liz McGuire not to 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:55.960 be confused with Lizzie McGuire of child's stardom Hillary duff Right, 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.600 that was Lizzie maguire. I believe so I was. I 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.160 was in college, but I remember my little like cousins 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.640 really being into Lizzie McGuire. You don't anyways. 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.559 You know what the worst part about the child actor 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:09.760 named shows like the Hannah Montana's in them is then 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.960 the character confuses the real life person. 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:13.919 You're right, I'm like, is it Lizzie McGuire? 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:14.040 Who? 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:14.959 Which which is a real one? 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.240 I feel bad for Liz McGuire. Well, that's why she 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.760 clearly goes by Liz maguire. But as you can see 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:21.840 here on the YouTube channel if you're watching and subscribe 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:23.240 to Fancy pros EML, it looks. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:24.760 Like the baseball went into her head. 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.600 That's what I'm saying. So this is amazing. So she 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.679 basically was like, hey, you know, I stayed for the 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.399 whole She stayed for the whole game. This is right here, 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.600 this is this is tough. We haven't done Joe's Tough 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.359 guys or gals in a long time. We used to 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.160 do it all the time. This, to me is the 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.080 first and only and maybe ever she stays there for 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.240 the entire games, like, hey, can you do something for me? 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.720 So tops made a baseball card of her, and this 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.920 is the baseball card. This is amazing. Liz maguire You're amazing. That, 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.600 my friends, is mental toughness, which is when I could 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:54.320 have a little bit more. 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.000 And it is cool, and that's something top it's tops now, 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.840 so and they take moments. They did it in a 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.520 soccer game last week with a raccoon that was running around. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.040 They've done it, and they did one with the solar eclipse. 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.200 I mean, I'll say it's a little gimmicky, but it 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.040 is kind of funny. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:10.200 Oh. 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.120 The best one was they made a tops Now card 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.560 of the bee keeper out here in Phoenix and they 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.640 did autographed versions of the bee keeper getting all the 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:20.680 bees out the other day. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:21.720 So they do stuff like this. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.160 That was a pretty funny one, and what a way 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.520 to be memorialized on a card with what literally looks like. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.320 The baseball is implanted into her head. 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.839 And I know Mayer's talking about it in the chat, 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.840 but the next day, complete black and blue face. It 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:38.600 went down here and then all of a sudden it came. 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.400 It was just eyes shut. She looked like she had 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.120 fought Mike Tyson. And that's toughness. So, Liz maguire, you 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:49.480 are tough. Forget that, Lizzie McGuire. Nonsense, Liz McGuire's. 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.200 The does that ball hit? It was no longer Lizzy. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.960 That right now, I'm not staying for the whole game. 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:57.800 I get hit like that, I'm out. I'm done. See letter, folks, 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.960 I'm not staying for the whole game unless I get it. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.160 I think Boba Shiv should have done something for her, 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:02.600 is that weir? 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.240 I hope he will, I mean sign a batter ball 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:10.560 or something, or sign her head. All right, let's get 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.520 the Raffaeld Devers because he can't be stopped six consecutive 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.880 games with a homer Welsh, Why did he get in 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.800 on this? Why were you just picking Rafield Evers every day? 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:18.520 What's the matter with you? 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:19.880 All right, Well, we. 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.400 Had a big discussion about Rafaeld Devers this year and 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:26.000 egg on our face the shoulder all spring training. Oh 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.960 guess what if you guys didn't know this. I've got 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.160 an issue. And he was holding this issue going on 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.680 in season, kept missing games early on. Oh there's this injury, 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.000 blah blah blah. But then things seem to be subsiding 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.719 because he's back to it and absolutely outside of like 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.039 a chasing wiff rate right now, but an absolutely red 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:46.560 baseball savant page over fifty two percent hard hit. He's 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.600 a little bit high on the case, but he's barreling 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.320 the crap out of the ball right now. He's hitting 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.280 the crap out of the ball. He's consistent, and he's 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.919 staying on the field. So guess what, he must be 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.800 healthy now. And it's funny that you even brought him 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.719 up to because I was just working a lot last 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.560 night on my redraft ranks here on Fantasy pros, which 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.840 should be a lot of fun to check out, because 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.040 it was crazy doing them, and I was looking at 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.280 Devers and Riley and I was like, man Riley and 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.560 he's been dealing with an injury. I want to move 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.880 Dever's way up, but the shoulder has just been kind 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:15.919 of bugging me. 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.720 But it's not bugging him, so I think that's not bugging. 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.159 It ain't bugging him. Six blinders, I mean blinders on 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:26.919 it now, blinders, blinders the peaky kind perhaps Chris Sale. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.520 How good was he struck out? How many nine? Is 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.520 that more than the seven and a half alltline that 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.360 we talked about yesterday? And it was, by the way, Welsh, 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:39.120 I gotta talk about this. So his era is now 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.880 to to two. He has struck out forty three guys 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.680 in his last five starts. Should Chris Sales start to 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.200 get in the conversation for Cy Young because I kind 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.800 of feel like he's working his way into I'm not 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.400 saying the top, I'm saying the conversation. 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.760 What is he in the market? What's the market for? 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.040 I want to look at the market. While I'm looking 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.880 at the market, you tell me what you think about 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:05.520 Chris Sales opportunity to become maybe a favorite in this market. 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.480 And what's amazing is this is like vintage Atlanta Breys, right, 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.160 they can do no wrong. Spencer Strider gets hurt. Oh no, 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.240 that's all right. We got Chris Sale for a bag 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.680 of balls, and now we're going to have him when 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:18.839 it's Slayn possibly like that's I mean easy to me. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.360 Also, I kind of got killed a little bit when 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:22.000 doing them. 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.960 On By the way, plus one thousand, he is the 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:25.119 fourth guy on the board. 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.200 Who are the guys ahead of him? 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:32.880 Zach Wheeler, Show, ta Im Naga, Tyler Glass, now Ranger 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.000 Suarez and then Chris Sale. So there you go, he's 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:35.479 number five. 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.880 Okay, it's a tough that's it. That is a tough group. 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.000 I mean I got killed a little bit for the whole. Like, hey, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.520 you know when you trade schemes to get Chris Sale, 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.760 But I don't think people are giving their proper due 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.800 to Chris Sale. Also, one of the things I don't 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.359 even I think I realized got seven wins on the 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.920 season's seven and one on top of all of just 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.039 the really great stuff low low walk grate lowest of 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.279 his career by at least a full walk. It looks 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.240 like now not only is it earn run great, the 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.159 expected numbers are great. He's giving up a lot of 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.000 weak contact and that's one of those big keys for 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.200 him to continuously be successful. And one of the big 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:13.880 changes too was flipping the usage that might change in season, 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.560 but flipping the usage on his slider in fastball. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.120 Yeah, I think I'm not sure I'm gonna make that bet. 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.560 That's a really top that is like a murderer's row 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.960 of tough guys to kind of hone in on the bet. 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:28.560 Look, I could see it if he keeps going though. 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.600 Glass nw Imanaga Wheelers are really good. Three. But if 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.440 the Braves get hot and we all know that offense 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:38.000 eventually is going to and they have this. It's like, 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.520 I don't think I'm there to invest yet, but I'm 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:42.240 watching it in ten. 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.640 Here's the problem, Here's here's the problem. There's only one 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.040 problem with this. What's that injury past, which I'm shocked 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:50.520 you're not talking about, because. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.120 That's why I haven't invested yet, because look, this has 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.400 to be another three to four starts for me of 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.760 being this good. And granted, what's gonna happen is that 0:07:57.800 --> 0:07:59.440 number's gonna get cut in half's gonna be four to one, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.360 five one. That's still highly investible for you. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.080 If you wanted to jump into it. The positive for 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.880 him is exactly what you just said. But all of 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.200 those guys, look at all those guys that are in 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.040 that race. Zach Wheeler wins. I mean, it's funny Rangers 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.960 war is his own teammate is in there win potential. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.760 But like Sale could get eighteen wins this year, and 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.880 he's lining up to go well over the strike ups. 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.560 It's literally the injury history that's the problem. But to 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.880 your point, I think that Braves lineup is gonna start 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.560 getting hot here very soon into the summer months, and 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.640 that's gonna be a big game changer. It's just gonna 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.320 be does he completely stay healthy. You're bringing up a 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:35.119 point also. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:35.600 That you know. 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.360 I mean, I guess if I'm getting killed for saying, hey, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.640 maybe you could trade schemes to get Sale. It's not 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.679 the time to start considering Sale at the tippy top 0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.480 if you're a worry wart with injuries, because if you're 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.400 scared of those injuries. It's similar to that Trout situation 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:52.679 right now, where you know Trout, you know was great, great, great, 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.200 we're at the tippy top. Get him out before going 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.199 trade for Julio. I don't know if the value is 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.760 there with Sale in the market. It's been with some 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.199 other players. I mean, like I said, skiing people want 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.280 schemes over Chris Sale, and I don't even think they're 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:06.360 thinking twice about it. 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.559 So not that I'm I. 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.319 Think the rest of season over schemes. 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:13.120 Yeah, because of the that's not even because of the 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:14.000 innings limits. 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:18.480 I think zero hesitation, Yeah, the innings limits. I mean, look, 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.520 I know what Chris Sale is. I saw something again 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.880 on the internets yesterday that was sad, but you know, 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.280 in this world we live in of Tommy John it 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.600 was the over under on August Versu of the Tommy 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.959 John for Paul Skins and like it was one of 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.120 those and you roll your eyes right, like you just 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.439 rolled your eyes on it. But how many guys throw 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.240 one hundred and three miles an hour every pitch and 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.679 don't have their arm explode? 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:43.160 Yeah, I don't know. 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.120 It's a it's a it's a it is fair. I 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.760 am not trying to bring that heat here. I'm just 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:53.240 saying it's I don't want it to happen. But if 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.719 if in three weeks he says his elbow hurts, We're 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:57.160 all gonna go. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:57.880 Yeah, of course. 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.800 But it's such a it's such a deadpool mentality though 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:02.480 for everybody. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.240 Though, it's just like, oh, everybody's want to stuff like that. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.600 One end two. I can't wait for Wolverine to day. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:07.960 Did you know? 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.439 By the way, yesterday tickets went on sale for July 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:12.360 and I bought them. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:13.920 I buy Oh, you're in there already. 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.280 I went last night and I already bought my tickets 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:17.720 for July twenty fifth. 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:19.520 By the way, I'm. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.400 Taking Angela wants to get sale for read Garrett. There 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:25.040 you go, send that offer to Welsh. I'm sure he'll 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:26.360 give you a sale for Read Garrett. Right. 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:33.360 No, I called Joe in this league yesterday. I actually answered. 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.560 I actually I even said. I was like, I don't 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.240 think Joe's going to pick up. And Joe picked up. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.400 How he would talk to me. It wasn't like hey, yo, 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.560 podcast appearance. He's like, hey, what's up? And I'm like, 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:42.360 you're on a pod. 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.880 Bringing groceries in for the house. I got the bathroom 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.080 modeling guys in there. I got to cook dinner for 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:47.560 the kids. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.679 But I defit, I was with you because Bogman was like, 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:53.160 I'm out on Edwin Diaz rest of season. I'm not 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:56.160 interested in him. And I was like, no, I'm I'm 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.680 I'm with Joe. I'm gonna buy on Edwin Diaz. It's just, 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.960 you know, read Garrett might get opportunities regardless of when 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:03.120 Edwin is right. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.240 All right, let's move on war headlines. The Dodgers are good. 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.760 Ferdie Freeman Grand Slam. You have a modo two runs 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.079 the six and a third struck out eight. So Diamondbacks 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.280 not so good? All right? Now, you just missed me 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:17.520 the other day. Support up Otto Lopez. You're like, shut up, Joe, 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.360 I did. It's fair. I do that. It's fair. The 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.120 line is now two ninety six, three thirty nine, five nineteen. 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.320 That's the slash, three homers, two steals, and fifty nine 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:28.800 played appearances. So Otto Lopez is playing every day since 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.160 Louis Horiz is gone. I feel like Otolope is a 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.600 guy that should be rostered. Are you with me? 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.080 I am always a speculative guy, and I would say, 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:40.000 if you're on the. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:41.800 Fence, this just was the word you were looking for. 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.880 No, no, don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious if a 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.040 if a guy is getting like really good playing time 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.319 and you have like a roster spot that's kind of 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.800 a burn and churn. Yes, I think you could have 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.960 just statistically what he's done, but also like the underlying stuff, 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:00.960 low strikeout rate, great hard hit numbers are paired with 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.160 really good barrel numbers. The question is that going to continue? 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.440 I don't know, but sure I would buy on that now. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:08.800 But I just I don't think he's a long term 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.720 source of I don't think he's a guy that you're 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.120 gonna have on your roster the whole year. But this 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.400 is a perfect time to jump on it now because 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:16.360 maybe I will be wrong. 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:17.680 I'm less dismissive of. 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:21.080 It in the chat. So I'm gonna I'm gonna take 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.360 the bait. I'm gonna take the bait. Joey Pace Edwin 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.400 Diaz rant yesterday was super lame. He's thirty. He might 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.319 be cooked. Yeah, Joe Nathan didn't start closing games till 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.640 he was thirty one. Go look it up, all right, 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.040 he's not cooked. It's ridiculous. It's the dumbest thing I 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.120 ever heard. It's fine him pitch it all last year. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.000 Hell or high Water wants to know Deadpool or Wolverine 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:39.600 rest of season? 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:45.679 Oh well, I gotta say, I think from my redraftiness 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:50.239 of Deadpool personally well see listen redraft perspective, it's Wolverine 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.640 in the short term, but the long term it's gonna 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.400 be Deadpool because I don't think Wolverine has staying power 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.840 in a dynasty aspect, because he's gonna be recast and replaced. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.520 Ah wow, wow, why don't you? Jackman is not gonna 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.439 be I feel like Wolverine is the greatest fantasy investment 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.200 ever because every time he gets hurt, he just heals 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.600 and he's fine the next day. He is literally day 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.760 to day every day, he's fine, Like it's gonna like, 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:16.080 well that's true now, but like Deadpools, Like I feel 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.199 like Wolverine heals quicker at Deadpool. Took him a long 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:19.280 time to grow that handback. 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:20.600 Yeah, you're right about that. 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.360 I'm so exciting, so excited it's gonna be great, Like 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:26.240 all right, Pablo Lopez was not great. 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.240 Seven runs, five innings, four seven two ERA right now 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.400 now the strikeouts walk still superb. So sixty three strikeouts, 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.800 nine walks in fifty five innings, so he's got this 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.040 just like a very weird season for Pablo Lopez so far. 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:41.880 What do you make of this? Because I would just 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.160 tell people who are freaking out to hold when it 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.719 comes to Pablo Lopez because you're gonna take the good 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.960 and the bad. But it's been a weird season. Like 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.240 how somebody with sixty three to nine strikeout walk ratio 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.240 I could possibly have a four to seven ERA is 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:57.960 beyond me, Welsh. 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.160 Yeah, And I mean I'm trying to take a look too. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:02.760 I wanted to peek and look at his like his 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:05.600 heat map as far as his pitches go, because sometimes 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.840 you're just gonna find like one pitch that's a whole 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.280 lot less effective this year. But you know, looking over this, 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.480 his fastball looks like it's getting hit harder. His sweeper 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.839 is getting hit a ton harder. Last year it had 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.120 a EV average EV of eighty one. It's at eighty 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:26.040 seven right now, to one seventy three batting average against 0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.520 last year to seventy seven right now. The reason that 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.000 I buy, and you know what, so it again your 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.600 our minds. I saw Papa Lopez line last night and 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.920 I saw people like going. I was like, I'm instantly 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.280 putting him in the trade video this coming Sunday. That's 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.000 already got one name for it because trade four. Yeah, 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.000 it's a trade four. Of course I'm gonna go in 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:50.080 trade four. You bad ERA number a run and a 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.400 half higher or lower expected batting average, So four point 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.600 seventy RA three point one four with some of the 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.680 best walk numbers in baseball and super high K numbers. 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.080 It's not as high as last year, but it's like 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:02.960 twenty eight percent. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.520 It's tier. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.320 Yeah, I'm with but if the sweeper has been less effective, 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.000 but Pablo Lopez is a guy with great command who 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.520 doesn't walk, who will adjust, and I think that's the 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.400 positive to live on. So I'm a buy on Pabula Lopez. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:17.720 That's a great question, Razor. Just put up logan web 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.760 or Lopez. I literally put logan web in my cell 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.240 so that is an easy easy Pablo Lopez. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.080 But I'm team Lopez too. Probably go out there, you go, 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:31.720 you know, shut out today just for fun, a little 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.200 bit of fun here, speaking of our independent videos here again, 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:36.000 if you watch the show, that's great, should watch the 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.440 videos we do. The Waiver Wire video, the trade video, 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.520 the Prospect videos are all here on the channel. TODs 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.240 Bradley a couple of weeks ago, was on my ad 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.120 list and he was still, you know, less than fifty 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.400 percent roster. I think at the time. Start out ten 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.880 yesterday lost the Red Sox. Who cares ten strikeouts? 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.160 All I want? How about that bet? 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:53.800 By the way, I remember that I was on my 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.600 bets plus one thirty for six and a half over God, 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:58.640 if we had laddered it. 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.120 You know, it's funny we haven't ladder. I was just 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.920 thinking about that this morning. I was putting the scare 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.160 together at six, like we haven't laddered yet this year 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.480 and already like almost at Memorial Day. That's not us 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.400 but pitching has been a little weird, like that moment 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.040 where the stars have aligned. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:15.600 My confidence good. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.520 My confidence is really rough with some of these weird performance. 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.600 I mean, you know, like Brandon Fott has been sold. 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.840 He had that one game where he had zero strikeouts, 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:25.840 so like my confidence has kind of shook with that. 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:27.000 I do want a pinpoint. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:28.960 It ain't today that you're gonna pick one, but I 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.000 do want to pinpoint one, probably a Paul skin start 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:33.440 or something like that, but we should ladder. 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.120 So yeah, but now the problem is like we missed 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:36.520 the six and a half, So now the next one's 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:37.840 gonna be like eight and a half and it's gonna 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:39.000 be like, that's no fun. 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.320 I'm gonna play the under right, He'll struck out nine 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.240 Braves option Bryce Elder to triple A and then Joe 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.880 Musgrove coming back to against the Reds. 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.160 Also, Nolan Jones returns in the lineup rookie. LOOKI uh 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:55.920 Saddana Rafaela to run homer for him. So he's starting 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:57.760 it again. The batting average is a low, but he's 0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.520 showing some signs of life here in the month of May. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.760 He's got three homers I think in the month now. Also, 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:05.760 the Guardians were called outfielder Jonathan Rodriguez. He's twenty four 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.280 years old at TRIPA this year two seventy six, three 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.960 eighty nine, four forty nine slash, seven dingers, thirty runs, 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:15.240 twenty eight rebies, four steals. They've gotten no help. I mean, 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.879
