Speaker 1: Got a j emode. We love our producer Michael Cally

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,279
Speaker 1: here too, but every now and then he likes uh.

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: I guess he's an official keyboard warrior with that loud typing.

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: Would you say yes?

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: That would be the thing. He definitely a character. This

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: year Cally has turned into a long stint.

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: All right, p Nuts and Cracker Jacks. Let's just get

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,440

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: And again shout out. I saw the did indeed get

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,520

Speaker 1: out there to one of our winners. Here we got

23
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: more giveaways too, so again comment below on the YouTube channel.

24
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little baseball here, let's talk about the

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: return of the King. Michael King's first outing was not good.

26
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: His second outing was much, much, much better. Eleven strikeouts

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: over five shoutout innings in a win over the Guardians yesterday.

28
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: So Welsh, let's start there, because Michael King, that window

29
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: of panic probably gone, window of buying absolutely gone. Maybe

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: it never existed in the first place, but it was

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: really good to see for those of you who invested

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: in Michael King as a fantasy ace look like the

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: dominant Michael King of twenty twenty four.

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: We talked about it in yesterday's show where it was

35
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: kind of like, isn't it weird these guys that have

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: these weird trends, whether it's like, you know, Bailey over

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: in the first game or Happy wins today, or Marcus

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: Simeon in the first half. Maybe this is gonna be

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,919
Speaker 2: a thing with the start version of Michael King. Michael

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: King got blasted last year against the Dodgers. I want

41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: to say it was the first two starts. This was

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: a tough matchup this is a team first off, that

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: didn't strike out a bunch. I want to say the

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: prop on his strikeouts was so tempting. It was around

45
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: like five and a half because just no one knew

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: what was going to go on. But he looked great.

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: He struck out eleven Velo stuff was kind of in line.

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: He wasn't, which is really interesting here and this shows

49
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: you the swing and miss type of stuff I want

50
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: to throw out. Not only did he have eighteen whiffs,

51
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: which is that's a dominant performance, forty six percent with

52
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: percentage across his pitches forty percent through has change up

53
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 2: more than anything, forty percent with rate elite, sixty four

54
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: percent on the fastball, ridiculous, sweeper thirty percent, sinker forty percent.

55
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: Those are ridiculous numbers. But he did it against a

56
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Guardians team that does not strike out a bunch, and

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: he was under fifty percent zone percentage for like eighty

58
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: three percent of his pitch, so eighty three percent of

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: his bitches were not in the zone and he was

60
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: getting those whists because of movement and the stuff. Michael

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: King is back. We should feel very very good about that.

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 2: It was a very tough matchup, even if it wasn't like,

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: even if he was good, the strikeouts could have been

64
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: suppressed by the Guardians. But I'm like across the board, thoroughly,

65
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: thoroughly impressed. Wish I had bet at, wish I had

66
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: the kahonas which I wasn't a little gun shy on it,

67
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: but should feel very good that I would say the

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: window is definitely closed on any buying opportunity. After the bad.

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: Start, I looked at last year's two I found it

70
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: over on stat News. So yeah, first start was against

71
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: the Dodgers three innings, gave up three earned runs. And

72
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: then his fourth start of the years against the Dodgers two,

73
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: where he gave a four earned run, six hits in

74
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: five innings.

75
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: So Dodger's got your number.

76
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: It's tough. It's actually he was even bad again, but

77
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: he was bad against Philly and April. He was bad.

78
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: He's kind of a bad start of the season last year,

79
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: even against Colorado, eight hits, four earned and three and

80
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: two thirds.

81
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: What was that second start after the dog had two?

82
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: He had a Dodgers start. Then he had two Giant

83
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: starts in a row. First Giant start was mediocre, six strikeouts,

84
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: four innings, too, or it was decent, the second one better,

85
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: and then the Dodger one was bad against Milwaukee, he

86
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: got a loss against Colorado, he got a loss in Philly,

87
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: he got a loss, and then then May happened, and

88
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: May was dazzling. May really just kind of took off

89
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: for him. So you know, slow starters sometimes happened. I

90
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about Wilde's question here. Do we get

91
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: any Kaisa Treks reads today?

92
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: No?

93
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Not today. You'll have to stay tuned for the next

94
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: Kaisa Treks there. There's also a j emote that's floating

95
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: around there sometime. I know that too. Also, not quite

96
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: eleven strikeouts, but ten Logan Gilbert three runs, ten k's

97
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: over five incredible adding from him and Shane Boz, young

98
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: starting pitcher from the Tampa Raised. There you've got Shane

99
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: bos with ten strikeouts, that's a career high for him,

100
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: six innings in a win over the Pirates. So Bo's

101
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: a guy that a lot of people have expectations for.

102
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: You know, you have Boz, you have Pepio eventually, you

103
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: hope a healthy returning Shane McClanahan. This Rai's rotation again

104
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: is right back in that driver's seat. It is amazing

105
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: what they can do in terms of acquiring young pitchers

106
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: in trades and what they do growing young pitchers too.

107
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: The Rays continue to just be that model there where

108
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: just pitching happens in Tampa.

109
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: Did you see too that the Rays trolled the Pirates

110
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: with this big graphic of like here the starters the

111
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: Pirates could have had, and it was you know, Tyler Glass.

112
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: Now Garrett Shane Boz was one of those. But you know,

113
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: Boz not to like get too like focal on this

114
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: because who cares that the things that I was thinking

115
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: about doing. Boz was another one of those, just because

116
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: we've seen a lot of lack of discipline from the Pirates.

117
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: This was one of those where I was like, man,

118
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: the strikeout potential could be interesting, but it was a

119
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: little wonky in spring. But curveball was ridiculous. He ended

120
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: up having eighteen called strikes and whiffs fifty three percent

121
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: CSW percentage. It looked absolutely elite and it was in

122
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: the zone. His fastball looked really good as well. It

123
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: was you know, setting up the curve and the slider

124
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: was there. Very very encouraged by that start. I still

125
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 2: think you need to cautiously like walk around with that one,

126
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: but very good. And I'll say on the other end,

127
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: poor Thomas Harrington, Thomas Harrington, get the get to him. Yeah,

128
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: was not the great start that the rookie was hoping

129
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: in the pirates lower here, but shame bo is definitely

130
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: taking a tier up and you know, teams with like

131
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: lower half of discipline, he's going to be probably a

132
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: phenomenal starter.

133
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Next up here, Suarez stays hot for the d Backs.

134
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: You Heneo, fifth homer of the year, unbelievable. Here d

135
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: Max who eventually beat the Yankees seven on Tuesday.

136
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: Did you know that he has five hits on the season?

137
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: There are only homers. It's it, that's all that he has.

138
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: Did you know also that you can get like a

139
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: total base prop of two total bases for almost two

140
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: to one today? I mean, I guess you know it's

141
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: only got five hits, but they always go extra base.

142
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: Johnnil Swarez is on a thing right now. Who would

143
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: you rather have rest of season right now? Johannio Swarz

144
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: or Alex Bregman.

145
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: I'll still take Bregman. I swore as just so streaky

146
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: over his career, you know, I.

147
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: Got struggling power. I get it, I get.

148
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: But I expect a bregman. I struggle to You know,

149
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: anybody who's a free agent new place, they tend to

150
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: not off. Getting off the good stars is typically not

151
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: what happens. But someone got paid yesterday too, and it

152
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: was a Padre. So Michael Cally, our producer, very happy

153
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: about this. Jackson Merrill goes from Welsh's pick for rookie

154
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: in the year last year to a nine year, one

155
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five million dollar extension. Look, this is

156
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: a great idea by the Padres. You lock him up.

157
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? Show us one of your balls?

158
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Is that what you're gonna do?

159
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: I am going to I'm going to show you one

160
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: of my balls.

161
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: Though, well, I mean, you got so many balls around

162
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: so I figured you'd just this is not.

163
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: A Kisa Treks. This is not a Kaisa Treks.

164
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Read.

165
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: No, what I'm going to show you is the infamous

166
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: Jackson Merrill plus seventeen hundred card. That that is his.

167
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: Strange and no reflectye right now, Oh there you go.

168
00:07:59,200 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: That's better.

169
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: That's there is very reflective. Sorry, there it is Jackson Merrill.

170
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: He inscribed his Rookie of the Year odds, and that.

171
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Is I wish the heat he won that that would

172
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: have been great. You know what, it's even better that

173
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: he didn't because he believed it. There you go. Uh

174
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: so Meryl very smart. You've got Tattisse locked up. You

175
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: got Meryl locked up. You know you've You've got CC,

176
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: you got kid, You've got a core there. Machada's gonna

177
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: start to age out eventually, but h good job by

178
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: here the padres kind of locking up your young superstar.

179
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Also speaking of young superstars, Casey Myz five and two

180
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: third shutout innings, six strikeouts beats the Mariners Again, Mariners

181
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: still can't hit. So Casey Mice once upon a time

182
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: was one of these Camp miss pitching prospects. He had

183
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: a really good spring. Uh are we looking at Casey

184
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: Myz Finally on the rides?

185
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: We are we one hundred percent are I'll be honest

186
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: with you, I would love it. I don't know if

187
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: one of our guys can run the poll. I would

188
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: love to have a poll up on YouTube. Maybe we

189
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: can run for three or four minutes of Alex Bregman

190
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: versus Suarez. On a smaller element of it, there's kind

191
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: of you know, we're talking positively about Shane boz. I

192
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: love what I saw out of Casey Mice fifteen swinging whiffs,

193
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: and that was in a game where Logan Gilbert was

194
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: absolutely dominant. Twenty two swing and wifs ten strikeouts, does

195
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: what he does. But Casey mis went primary fastball, slider splitter,

196
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: which that's a very very good combo. Last year he

197
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: was thirty five percent fastball, twenty nine percent slider, eighteen

198
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 2: percent slitter splitter. Be careful about that. Splitter was up

199
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: a tiny bit more. It was one of the most

200
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: ridiculous swing and with pitches it was vintage. Why he

201
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: was the number one overall pick. I'm I'm kind of

202
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: in on Casey mys and I think there might even

203
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: be an argument. Maybe my is over a guy like Boz.

204
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: So where I moved dore up that I'm not say

205
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: were there, but we're close.

206
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm not there. But that's that's a very hot take, Welsh.

207
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: That is on a Wednesday, a very hot take here. Also,

208
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: here's a question here where we try to take your questions. Also,

209
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: Dez has a question, what do a casus you hold?

210
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: You hold? You wait? Eventually things will turn around. Boston offense,

211
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, not doing so hot right now?

212
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that. Also, we cannot nothing

213
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: slides in this show. In this chante. It was Kaisa

214
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: Trex yesterday, the day before it was the Jay on

215
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: the Names. Today it's apparently my new pitch, the slitter,

216
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: that everybody.

217
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: Is well well, I mean, I was hoping you wouldn't,

218
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, go back to it, but you did. I

219
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: thought we if you want to get past that, I'll

220
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: create a grip for it in the in the realm

221
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: of i' letna see if I can make this transition

222
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: things that should never be seen or heard from. There

223
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: was a list yesterday that went out and I know

224
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: these are click baity lists and I hate that, but

225
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: damn Police Act of MLB network likes to put out

226
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: these lists of the best starting pictures. Now. I know

227
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: the caveat here was April first, right, that was the okay,

228
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: as of April first year, is the best pictures in baseball.

229
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: But if we're gonna say the best pictures in baseball

230
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: to me, you better still add in the best pictures

231
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: in baseball. Zach Gallon not on this list. Spencer Schreider

232
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: who is on his way back not on this list.

233
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 2: Now.

234
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: I get it. It's all these guys who've pitched now,

235
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: but even the order of this is frickin' yeah.

236
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: I don't think it's even about the guys that didn't

237
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 2: make it. I think it's about number twenty four on

238
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: this list, Marquez, or in the.

239
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Top twenty five, just saying, and Nick Pavetta, I know

240
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: he had a nice start. I love Jeffrey Springs, but

241
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: this is so silly. I mean, Mackenzie gore at sixteen

242
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: just because he had one really great outing against the

243
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: Phillies and all of a sudden, the sixteenth best pitcher

244
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: in baseball. I mean, the Bryce Miller is arguably the

245
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: third best picture on his own team potentially.

246
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: I don't this looks like the Shredder. You've seen those

247
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: shredder things where oh yeah, yeah, but at.

248
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: Least that's numbers based, and I understand that, like there is,

249
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: there is tangible stuff there.

250
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: What numbers is the shredder using It's like little it's

251
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: like preschool, just little wine three A. It's not I

252
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: don't know what that is. This is the human version

253
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: of the shredder here, and it's it's I'm Brady Singer,

254
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 2: Brady Singer being a better pitcher than Logan Webb, Chris Sanchez, Max.

255
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: Aaronola Corbyn burns that on this list, I mean, there's

256
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: a lot of guys. The comments section, though, is what

257
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: I run to when I see this list, because let's

258
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: take a look at some of the fun comments here.

259
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: These are two of my favorite ones. I just kind

260
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: of picked them out here. Eric Butler writes, Spencer Strider

261
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: is still alive. I love that, Yes, he is still alive.

262
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: And then just incredible Dan Pleisak would get owned in

263
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: Fantasy Baseball.

264
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: Yes it wasn't just incredible ECW wrestler.

265
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: He was ECW wrestler. I had a little cup of

266
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: coffee in the WCW I believe as well. And I

267
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: want to say did have a cup of coffee when

268
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: they redid ECW also back in the day. For more wrestling,

269
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: check out my latest in This Ring podcast coming out today,

270
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: like that little drop there. Also, we have some live

271
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: look footage two on the off day of Raffaeld Dever's

272
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: BP so I want to show that to everybody too.

273
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: See if we could pick out some of the things

274
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: that are going well for him maybe going a little

275
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: bit better for Raffield Devers. So let's pull this up.

276
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: So here we go. It's not going well.

277
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: I mean this swings looking it's faster. That swing is

278
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 2: looking faster. Get it, Rocky.

279
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: I agree that the.

280
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: The that's a good. He's like he's trying to like shovel.

281
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: This is a good. I really like the end of it.

282
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 2: Hold on, This is my favorite part right here. This

283
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 2: is where the bat speed comes in. Oh and another one,

284
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: another one, Martin.

285
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: It flies.

286
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: It is an I will say this. Mark Durosa did

287
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: a breakdown like a five minute video on MLB Network

288
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: I thought was really really good and it showed some

289
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: of the difference that we're gonna we could probably pull

290
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 2: this down.

291
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: That's enough humiliate hitting Raphael never for now at.

292
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: Least, or you know what, maybe the whole show will

293
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: be like that, so oh hi or dark. But he

294
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: did this really interesting breakdown. We all know about the

295
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: bat speed that it's down three miles per hour. I

296
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 2: talked about it in our latest trade video, which you

297
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: guys can check out on the Fantasy Pro MLB channel,

298
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 2: Joe and I going back and forth on some trade candidates.

299
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: The bats is really prevalent. A lot of people are

300
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: talking about the shoulder, but in the video I highly

301
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: suggested to look at it. It also shows the front

302
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 2: side of Rafael Devers and how his legs are spread

303
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: out on him, how late he is right now. They

304
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: synced up these two videos, these two at bats from

305
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty five, and how late Devers is

306
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: to the movement and his hands at a point of

307
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: explosion when the ball's coming in, his hands are still back.

308
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: So not only is the bat speed worse three miles

309
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: per hour, not only is there maybe a shoulder thing,

310
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: he's late across the board. I still don't know what

311
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: to do about it. Like I feel like if someone's

312
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: selling super low, I might be kind of interested because

313
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: the things are very fixable that we're looking at. But

314
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: maybe they're not fixable.

315
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it's it's I don't like what I see.

316
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's the weight in the shoulder, in the head,

317
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 2: maybe all the eight I think it's.

318
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: The shoulder strength. I think it's the mental aspect. We talked,

319
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: we had a big talk about it. I don't want

320
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: to take all the time out because there's a video

321
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: right now on the YouTube channel. Fans for os MLB

00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,720

340
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: The Mario hot hat and mustache too for YouTube is

341
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: in my card to Amazon. I'm ready to purchase it

342
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: when we hit twenty five thousand, so I refused to

343
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: purchase it before. I don't want to jinx it. We're

344
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: getting very close, though. Beef is a question here. Raffield

345
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: Dever has been a good enough job of humiliating. Would

346
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: you trade for Vento's or Bregman for him? Interesting? So

347
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: who would you rather have rest of season? Devs or

348
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Ventos or Bregman? That's right, I would I like Nanos, Bregman, Devers,

349
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: That's right. I said it. That's my order, that's my order.

350
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: I'm okay. I think it's too early to be too reactionary.

351
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Devers, Bregman, Vientos. But if we don't see,

352
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: if we don't see like a change that's going to

353
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: happen in over the next like three weeks, it'll go Bregman, Devers, Vento's.

354
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: Ventos is at the bottom of the list.

355
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: I was in a conversation on the YouTube channel with

356
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: somebody and I said, the problem you run into with

357
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: Devers is if this is what I think it is,

358
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: which is an unhappy player in a bad mood, in

359
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: a new routine he's not used to do like this

360
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: is hard. Edgar Bartinez, arguably the greatest DH ever to

361
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: do it, talked about how difficult that transition was from

362
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: being an everyday player to being in everyday DH. It

363
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: was really tough for him mentally and the physical preparation

364
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: of it. So that's somebody who was buying in, and

365
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: this is somebody who's not buying into, who doesn't want

366
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: to do it is even more difficult. The problem is

367
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: you get to the All Star break, right and if

368
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: things haven't turned around, is his values completely shot? To trade?

369
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 1: You have wasted most of your season and if you're

370
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: in any sort of league that has playoffs, you're really

371
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: in a tough spot. Here. Let's go to MS's question

372
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: or sos Smokes is gonna line up stranded with Tom

373
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: Hanks on an island of vlad Westburg, Riley Paanea, James Wood,

374
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: o'il Cruz, Butler, showe Otani VNP Matt Shaw. So what's

375
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 1: the I don't understand.

376
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: Is there a question in here? You trying to figure

377
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: which one do you eat? Because you're on an island.

378
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: I thought.

379
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: You, guys, because these two meals.

380
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 2: You're gonna have a great pickup game on that island.

381
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: Tom Hanks has got to go. He's the least athletic one.

382
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: So Tom Hanks has to go on your island.

383
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: I guess the question? So yeah, I mean, I mean

384
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: the lineup looks pretty good. I'm not sure what the

385
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: question is. Let's continue on here with the rookie. Lookie,

386
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: uh you mentioned him just what two days ago? Nick Kurtz,

387
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: He's back at it again. Three for six, two run

388
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: home or three ribi's he has knocking on the door

389
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: right now, four seventy one batting average. It looks really good.

390
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: Now it's PCL, So again PCL, but this might be

391
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: a stash guy. Jason Dimingez. I got so many questions yesterday.

392
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: What do I do with Jason Domingaz. I'm like, you'll wait,

393
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: it's the first of April. What are we doing here?

394
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: Guess what? Two for three his first homer, So that's good.

395
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Emiliano Teado struck out four guys, two perfect ginnings. Toyoto

396
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: per Pardon me? So is this a guy to be

397
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: looking at as a potential relief help for this Rangers

398
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: bullpen as the season goes on. I'm not saying he's

399
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: an ad I'm saying maybe he's a watchless guy.

400
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: So if you I'm gonna do a very like you know,

401
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 2: I've been saying type of thing.

402
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: Like Yo Toyoto.

403
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So I followed Toyoto for a couple of years now.

404
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 2: He was in the AFL, not this past year, the

405
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: year prior and was disgusting, but then last year they

406
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: stretch himut as a starter. I interviewed James Treanto's you

407
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: can check Out on Prospect one and I think this

408
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: was a part of that. Was on the CBS show

409
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: that I was doing, and I asked Treontos about Toyoto

410
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: and he said, Tooto is one of the most disgusting

411
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: pitchers he had ever faced, and he was working in

412
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: relief in that AFL. There's one hundred and one, has

413
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 2: a slider that he can throw for command. But he

414
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 2: was starting all last year. This year they've made the

415
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: commitment that he's just out of the bullpen. He's a

416
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: future closer right now. There is I suppose room. I

417
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: don't think they would throw him right into it. Boch,

418
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: he's very weird. Boch's going with Luke Jackson, So I

419
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: don't think it's happening. But if you want a top

420
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: list of future closer dynasties, it starts with Montgomery and

421
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay. That guy is going to be a top

422
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 2: five closer in Major League Baseball once he's given the

423
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 2: opportunity throwing one hundred lefty. He's disgusting. Tooto might be

424
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,239
Speaker 2: the same thing, but he's just not. He's not going

425
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: to get the opportunity. But when he does again, he

426
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 2: pumps into triple digits. He's got a great slider. He's

427
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: an awesome stash. If he comes up to the majors,

428
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, take a look, because like if Chris

429
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: Martin is stinking and Luke Jackson is stinking, he might

430
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: get some saves, but I wouldn't pick him up in

431
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: like a redraft right now.

432
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: I love Toyoto though, Yeah, certainly a guy worth monitoring

433
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: is a Triple A already Red Sox shortstop prospect Marcelo

434
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: Mayor not to be confused with Mike mahyor one has

435
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: a lot of talent, one has none. Two for four

436
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: with a three run homer on Tuesday in Triple A,

437
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: which brings us to today's Chasing Challenges segment here brought

438
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: to you by Microsoft. Just like the athletes who push

439
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: boundaries and redefine what's possible in business decision makers today

440
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: are turning challenges into opportunities, and Microsoft meets you where

441
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: you are with tools and guidance to help you make

442
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: an impact with safe, secure AI solutions. Just like that

443
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman picture from yesterday generated by AI, I need

444
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: a Freddy Freeman picture, Boom is brought to you. There

445
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: you go, solution, problem solve, whatever challenges you're facing. Microsoft

446
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: empowers you with the expertise to say bring it on.

447
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: In this segment, we're going to spotlight the challenges faced

448
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: by the Red Sox. Logs of young talent, because Mayor's hitting,

449
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell looks like a future rockstar superstar. You've got

450
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony who is tearing cover off the ball right

451
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: now to start the minor league season. And the Red Sox,

452
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: I know it's only a weekend, are finding themselves at

453
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: the bottom of this division, which is extremely competitive. The

454
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: Blue Jays are going to do everything they can to compete,

455
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: and they have some real legitimate talent. They sign Santander

456
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: in the offseason, Bashet hopefully bounces back, Vlad playing for

457
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: a contract. You've got the Orioles lineup which never quits.

458
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: You've got the Yankees who are always going to be

459
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: the Yankees. And now this race pitching staff again, we

460
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: talked to the top of the show. Race pitching staff

461
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: looks very formidable, and these young kids are really coming

462
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: on quickly, and that leaves the Red Sox in a

463
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: precarious situation because they cannot wait too long in order

464
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: to win games and fall behind, because this division is

465
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: going to be very competitive. I'm not going to say

466
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: they're falling behind in April and panic mode yet, but

467
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: at a certain point there might have to be some

468
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: hard decisions made where a guy like Rapi goes to

469
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: the bench. I know a bra who's hitting right now,

470
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: but is he really your future? I don't know. Yoshida

471
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: eventually is gonna come back and make this even more

472
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: of a mess. Potentially, trades are gonna have to be made,

473
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: Decisions are gonna have to be made, and maybe if

474
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: Raffield Devers doesn't want a DH, maybe somebody else does

475
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: and Raffield Devers gets moved on. All I know is

476
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,719
Speaker 1: the Red Sox don't want to wait too long, maybe

477
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: six eight weeks at most into the season before some

478
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: hard decisions have to get made, and that challenge turns

479
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: into an opportunity for some of these young players, and

486
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: Dustin May one earned run of six strikeouts five innings.

487
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: Beat the Braves. Can't beat the Dodgers. I tried yesterday.

488
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I lost that bet Logan Webb for sale.

489
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: Damn it. I still couldn't beat the dam one six.

490
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: I think the only winless team in baseball right now.

491
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: Ridiculous, unbelievable. The Logan Web delivered a great performance Tuesday

492
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: over the Astros. One run, five hits over seven innings

493
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: at Nadi Evaldi. What a star from hit you know,

494
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: Nadi Avaldi an incredibly underrated asset going into the year.

495
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: Third career shutout Tuesday, shut out the Reds in ninety

496
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: nine pitches too. So that was like Greg Maddox like.

497
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: Yesterday, Yeah, he was incredible. I mean, would have loved

498
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: a tiny bit more run support for my run line

499
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: of one point five on the Rangers. They won one

500
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 2: to nothing. But Evaldi has been fantastic. We're seeing strikeouts,

501
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: we're seeing consistency. He is going to be a super

502
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: super sneaky back into the rotation push because most people

503
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: probably got him as an SP five might even potentially Look,

504
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: I just throw it out there, like if someone is

505
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 2: just really vying for someone that's going to push innings

506
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: and stuff, maybe there's a trade side of it, because

507
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: you know, midyear, I think we're going to tap her

508
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: back down a little bit. But there's a really big

509
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: value for players that can push innings, especially early on

510
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 2: in the season as much as he did. And this

511
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: team is gonna win a lot with the Rangers. So

512
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 2: Ivaldi definitely on an arrow tick up.

513
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: So do Braves get a win first or Devors gets

514
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: a hit first? It's a fun question. That's a good

515
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: something good to the show. Thank you.

516
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 2: How cool would it be if it was the Braves

517
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 2: versus the Red Sox and it like we can schedule

518
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: when does that happen?

519
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 1: I am that would be very dangerous. It's a proposition

520
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: both Anthony's if we wait that long. But I'm gonna

521
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: say Matt Braves get a win first. That's what I'm

522
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna say.

523
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 2: Braves are at the Dodgers. I'm gonna say Devers gets

524
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: the hit. I'm gonna say Devers gets a hit today

525
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 2: against Eflyn. I'm gonna go with that because the Braves

526
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: have got the Dodgers again.

527
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: So okay, drop it in the comments, everybody. I want

528
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: to know, Braves win, Devors hit, which happens first? Let

529
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: us know? All right? With the ups come the downs.

530
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: Justin Steele, we hate putting our friend on here. But

531
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: four runs, six strikeouts, and six and two thirds. Severarino

532
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,719
Speaker 1: not good in that game either, five earn to run

533
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: six strikeouts over six innings. And Thomas Harrington, who's you

534
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: teased at the top of the show. It was not

535
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: a great first outing for him of twenty twenty five,

536
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: six runs of her four innings. I don't know how

537
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: much of this start you got to see. It was

538
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: major league debut. Obviously there's gonna be nerves there. But

539
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: any takeaways from that Harrington start.

540
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, not a lot of whiffs in it.

541
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 2: Consistency was definitely a problem. His fastball. I joke about, like,

542
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 2: you don't want fastballs to be like thirty percent zone

543
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: because they're not throwing strikes. Well, he was seventy five

544
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: percent zone on the fastball, so it got some stuff done,

545
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 2: but nobody cared. The secondary's had nothing. He throws a

546
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: splitter thirty five percent zone percentage, sweeper twenty two percent.

547
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: He's throwing a fastball in the zone where no one

548
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: has to worry about the secondaries, and they're teeing off

549
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 2: on the fastball. He'll get better. Splitter's a really interesting pitch.

550
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: You know, he deadened that thing out. It's got like

551
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: that change up type of life. So it's like a

552
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: really good it's a good pitch. If the sweeper he

553
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 2: was throwing for command, he'll get there. There's some encouraging stuff,

554
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: but yeah, he got.

555
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: He got.

556
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: He got rocked around a little bit, and welcome to

557
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 2: the big leagues, dude.

558
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: I'll go to big league son. By the way, we

559
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: have clarity that that question about the lineup was, you know,

560
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: do I start making changes, And the answer is no,

561
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: We're a week into the season. If you have a

562
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: bad week in July, nobody cares. We just go on

563
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: a little crap week and we move on. But everybody

564
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: if their team struggles at first week or two weeks,

565
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: they freak out. If you like the players you drafted,

566
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: and you did a good job drafting them, you have

567
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: a team that's got all tany're like, what are you

568
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: worried about? What are you worried?

569
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: I make minimum I'll make minimal moves, like I get it.

570
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: I've had multiple or things like okay, I've got Rafayella

571
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: playing second base in the deep League and Atto Lopez

572
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire, like maybe that's a move I'm

573
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: gonna make. Like maybe I'm gonna go make that move

574
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: and see if I can catch lightning in a bottle

575
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: with Lopez. That's the kind of stuff you're doing, right.

576
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: I had a listener hit me up like, hey, Nica

577
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: Horner's on the wire and here's my roster, and it

578
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: was like, get rid of hering GIFO for Horner, Like

579
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: that's fine. I've had people like really concerned about totally

580
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 2: and it's like, well, hey, listen, if you if you're

581
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: like you don't like what's going on, you want to

582
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: wait it out, Okay, but remember we're not even a

583
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: week into the full regular season. You don't want to

584
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: sit complacent, especially if there's good, viable stuff, but to

585
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: make moves just because it's like, should I blow this

586
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: thing up after ford it? No, you should chill for

587
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: a little bit. Let's get a couple of weeks and

588
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 2: hopefully it's not a complete disaster. But yeah, you get

589
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 2: Otani and stuff.

590
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: You're look. I love our audience. They make me laugh.

591
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, this is a little inappropriate, but

592
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring it up anyway. Dever is currently winging

593
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: into two forty or the batting average of two forty.

594
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: So there he goes. He hitting above his weight in

595
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.

596
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna bounce back. He hit fat Chevan.

597
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: We shouldn't do that. That's not nice. We shouldn't do that.

598
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 2: I can. I can do it.

599
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: You can't, Okay, fine?

600
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: Well yeah, well thanks.

601
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm fit fat, rude. You know I can go out

602
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: there and I can. I can, you know, run three

603
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: miles and then I'll eat a sleeve of oreoles. I

604
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: can do that. I'm fit fat, That's what I am.

605
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: Although I have trimmed down significantly in the last month

606
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: and a half, I try to take better care of

607
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: myself here, I'm on the program, Welsh, I'm you know,

608
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: working hard. When you see me in a in a

609
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks by the way, that's like two weeks away,

610
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: where well should I will be in the same place

611
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: doing leading off together. That's gonna be wild the first

612
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: time ever?

613
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: Did you know? Did you know that this was brought

614
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: to my attention? Something we should do? And I think

615
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: it's an incredible idea. What if we did like a

616
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: home run derby together and we much filmed it as

617
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 2: something we should do. Something that torpedo bat, well, torpedo,

618
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: I don't know a torpedo bat.

619
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: I'll even hit with the wood if you got it,

620
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: would I don't care. I'll be ready, Simon. Let me know.

621
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: I'm not going to travel with the bat. That's going

622
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: to be a pain in the ass. But if you've

623
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: got the.

624
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 2: Bats, yeah, I don't play. I'm not asking you to

625
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: bring a bat on the plane we'll be going.

626
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: I usually do because I'm Italian. We just travel with

627
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: bats and other things. But you know, we'll see how

628
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: it goes.

629
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: So look out, maybe we'll do that.

630
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: Be on the lookout for my playbook too. If you

Speaker 1: them all. It's my playbook for MLB. Let's get to

639
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: the injuries here. Yankees Aaron Boone told reports that Clark

640
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: Schmidt is going to make his season debut on April

641
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen against the Royals. He's not sure yet,

642
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: he'll figure it out. Bad news for Raynaldo Lopez guy

643
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: always fading anyway off the brilliant twenty twenty four that

644
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: kind of came out of nowhere. He's gonna miss at

645
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: least a couple of months, maybe even the season with

646
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: the shoulder surgery. So we'll keep an eye on that.

647
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: Get you more updates when we know. Brian Bao charged

648
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: with four runs and two thirds of two and two

649
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: thirds of an inning or two and a third innings.

650
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: Excuse me, a triple A and then Edward Cabrera working

651
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: his way back from that blister one run over three innings.

652
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: I know your boy Lance was really high on Cabrera.

653
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: So is that somebody you're speculating on anywhere?

654
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Martins pitches look kind of good right now.

655
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: It's stream, It's it's strictly stream though.

656
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean I was pretty good last night.

657
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: You know, well, yeah, I mean our contrad looks phenomenal.

658
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: But contra Biock, we've got Cabrera possibly, you know.

659
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: You're like, yeah, there's some other guys, some other one. Yeah,

660
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: he's a streamer again like him. You know, higher strikeout teams.

661
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 2: The Marlins are being sneaky. All credit to them with

662
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 2: how much I was dogging on them. Their offense is

663
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: doing some stuff, you know, Stours at the top, be

664
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: Zavor Edwards is a super tough out. It's a weird

665
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: constructed goofy team. But they are having tough at bats.

666
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: They're scoring a few runs. So by virtue of that,

667
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: a guy like Cabrera, if he can hold down an offense, great, Now,

668
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 2: don't start him against the Braves and stuff like that.

669
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: But pirates, you know, a high strikeout team yeah, Canbert

670
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: could be a good streamer.

671
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: I think we get cousin Donnie out there throwing some

672
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: VP to us, we get an l screen and we

673
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: go out there and do I mean, I don't know,

674
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what the.

675
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: Field situations are, but I mean, oh, we got Arizona, baby,

676
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: their fields left to I might be able to get

677
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: us on the Royals facility in their stadium.

678
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: Right now when I'm ready to go, this old fark

679
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: can still hit. I don't want to run around the

680
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: bases anymore, but I can still hit. How do you

681
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: feel about streaming Birke today against the Twins? I feel

682
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: good about it, tell you truth, because.

683
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: I know Twins. I would I would probably normally be

684
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit of trepidacious, but the Twins have

685
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 2: just been like, really really bad to start this season.

686
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: You've got some obviously like strikeout issues there and offensive issues.

687
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, Burke looked really good. I would be cool

688
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: with it.

689
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: All right, So we're on board there, two for two

690
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: on that one. Let's get to our favorite segment too,

691
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: because Welsh it's time for the.

692
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 2: Best Bets of the day.

693
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: With Joey p and the Welsh. Let's take a look

694
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: at these for me. Hunter Green over on the strikeouts

695
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: over six and a half k's and then oh now

696
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: the Jay's back, Zach wheelsher how jiafaja is a high number. Yes,

697
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: it's eight and a half, but the jay is returned,

698
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: it's there again, eight and a half k's over. I

699
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: think you can get to ten today in this matchup

700
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: minus one ten Shoey Altani total basis, let's go over

701
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: one and a half at minus one fifteen and Cody

702
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: Bellinger to hit home run today. I know you've had

703
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: your questions about Zach Gallan, and I have some questions

704
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: about Cody Bellinger's torpedo bat. But plus eight hundred that's

705
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: a big number for Cody b to go yard here.

706
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: So I like that. And Welsh, where are your best

707
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: bets of the day today?

708
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't hate it. I tapered back, even though

709
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 2: I'll say this like it kills me. Yesterday, I'm one

710
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: and two from yesterday. I missed the total runs by

711
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: a run. I missed the run line on the Rangers

712
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 2: by one. Process was good. Absolutely nailed Corbin Carrol on

713
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: the total basis. You got that at plus one p

714
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,959
Speaker 2: fifty and if I had the kohonas to bet the homer,

715
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 2: it was six to one, so hopefully you guys did

716
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 2: I paired away. There are so many interesting prop bets today,

717
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 2: especially in the pitching market. They're so high, They're all

718
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: so high. So what I decided to do was I

719
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: went with the Tigers Detroit first five money line. This

720
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: is backing Tarreek Scooble to dominate through the first five

721
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: push at worse or I'm hoping to take that win.

722
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: And I went with a Nerfy today.

723
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: Paul Skiing, what did you go with a Niffrey?

724
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we have the nerd.

725
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: No freaking runs.

726
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, no runs. First inning Pittsburgh Tampa Bay, Ryan Pepio

727
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: and Paul Skeen's The Pirates offense has been a little squirrely.

728
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 2: I love Paul Skins to dominate the Rays. It is

729
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 2: a heavy juice play, but it is the one that

730
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: I like the most. So I'm playing a little bit

731
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: easy on the card here today. Might add a couple.

732
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 2: I got one of the little like strikeout thing on

733
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 2: the betting pros app but again I'm still trying to

734
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: get my feet under it. So first five Detroit and

735
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Tampa Bay Murphy for me.

736
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the home run board today

737
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: because it's time. I still can't get on that bad boy.

738
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: Uh so we're up the six still at the day.

739
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: This is disgusting. This disgusts me, and I want this

740
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: fixed immediately. I am at three homers. We didn't put me.

741
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: Look at what that says there? Sure one one other

742
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: is me. I should be ten on this board. Corbyn

743
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: Carroll smashed a homer. Disgusting the hate and the.

744
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: Disrespect you did get the Carrol. Wow, you're a good start.

745
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: I have been a great start.

746
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: I should be ten.

747
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: Everyone gave me crap last year because I have any

748
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: home runs and I started taking you know, Judge and Otani.

749
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: So today I'm gonna take Otani. That's right, That's what

750
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. Shoey ol Tani two to one for

751
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: a home run, give me a show. Hey, and you're

752
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: going with a torpedo boy, aren't you.

753
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 2: I am going Look at Mike Marriers saying I support

754
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: Welsh being the plus one. I am the plus one

755
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: that fixed for tomorrow. I want to I don't know

756
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 2: how often I'm gonna be on that board. This year. Yeah,

757
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Ellie day La Cruz and the

758
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 2: torpedo bat. That is a very very early game in here.

759
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: But Ellie, actually I think it actually might be going

760
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 2: on here in just one second. But Jack Lighter obviously,

761
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: when that fastball sits around the zone, I think Ellie's

762
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 2: gonna turn on it. And so yeah, get me, Ellie,

763
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: get me four on the board. So they don't even

764
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 2: have a choice but to put me on the thing tomorrow.

765
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: Dang it, that'd be amazing, right, Mike. What if this

766
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: was your one opportunity? What if like you always were

767
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,040

00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: Also before we go today sad news passing of an

800
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: incredible actor. You know, I know a guy who you know,

801
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: maybe wasn't always well liked in certain circles too in

802
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: the Hollywood world, maybe a controversial person at times, but

803
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: as an actor, Val Kilmer was about as good as

804
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 1: it gets. Tombstone one of my all time favorite movies,

805
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: and his portrayal of Doc Holiday possibly my top three

806
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 1: performances ever by an actor. He didn't get nominated even

807
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: by a for an Academy Award for that or for

808
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: Jim Morrison in The Doors, which he was incredible in

809
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: that too. It's sad. I knew he had been ill

810
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: for a long time. He had cancer, he had issues

811
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: in a passing way of pneumonia, but incredible career heat,

812
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: top gun. You know, the list goes on and on.

813
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 1: I know he played Batman two and others. Some people

814
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: liked it, some people didn't. But Tombstone is one of

815
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: those movies for me, Well, if it's on, I'm watching

816
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: it period. End of story and the Holliday just all

817
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: time great. So many incredible lines and moments in that movie.

818
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: Any Val Kilmer performance for you stand out more than another.

819
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that the Jim Jim Morrison went. It was actually

820
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: I liked his performance so much. I was like, man,

821
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: Jim Morrison, I got like obsessed with the doors and

822
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 2: my very like elitist uncle who's a music guy, like

823
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: would shame me for being like Jim Morrison's just a

824
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 2: dirt bag and the like, Like Jim Morrison was like

825
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 2: some pop singer or something like that. But I love

826
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: that movie and just loved his portrayal. Obviously, Tombstone is great,

827
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 2: lots of great Val Kilmer stuff. Just sad that whatever that,

828
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: the sickness and stuff that was dealing, we just didn't

829
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 2: see him. We didn't see him for a long Oh.

830
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had trouble speaking. I think it was the

831
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: cancer and stripped away his vocal cores and throats. Even

832
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: in the Top Gun movie. In the last one, you know,

833
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: he couldn't you know, he barely could get those words

834
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: out there. But I don't want to leave everybody on

835
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,880
