Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is leading
Speaker 1: off Live, brought you by Prize Pick. Sign up for
Speaker 1: Prize Picks today with Romo code leading off. It's me
Speaker 1: Joey b That of course is the Welsh and it's
Speaker 1: you the Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks Welsh. This is a
Speaker 1: new one. Before he even started the show today, there
Speaker 1: were sixty plus comments in the chat I support the
Speaker 1: show started. I don't know what's going on. I guess
Speaker 1: everybody's just excited for and she Han today because I
Speaker 1: guess I guess he wasn't getting promoted to Triple A.
Speaker 1: We mistook that promotion. It apparently goes right to the
Speaker 1: big leagues, because that's where that dude is starting tonight.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Yeah, Emmitt Shean, I think I
Speaker 2: kind of hand it at the end. I think it
Speaker 2: might be Shean at the end. But emmittt a great name.
Speaker 2: Emmett don't know many emits as we've talked about, but
Speaker 2: we're gonna get to know one at the major league level.
Speaker 2: I told you before one of the reasons too, Like
Speaker 2: we were pushing and talking a little bit before the
Speaker 2: show started, and we looked at the comments were like,
Speaker 2: holy crap, I like don't know how to gauge rookies
Speaker 2: and prospects anymore. I just don't know how to gauge
Speaker 2: it to the major leagues because.
Speaker 1: It's funny nothing podcast.
Speaker 2: Well, I can evaluate them and I can talk to
Speaker 2: you about that, but I don't know how to gauge
Speaker 2: what the hell is going on because this is completely
Speaker 2: contrary to anything we would have seen before. But obviously
Speaker 2: Emmit she Hen was on the faster track and with
Speaker 2: someone we needed to pay attention to. It's just way
Speaker 2: quicker than we thought. Guy has been at the top
Speaker 2: now with the Complex and Dominica Summer League. The leaderboards
Speaker 2: are a little bit funky, but essentially Emmit Sheen has
Speaker 2: been the leader in K percentage in the minors, leader
Speaker 2: in K minus walk percentage really because of that insane
Speaker 2: strikeout rate, and has had an under two ERA for
Speaker 2: this season. This is a big fastball, big awesome change
Speaker 2: up as well. Uh, he's going to throw in a
Speaker 2: couple other pieces. He's going to pound the zone. This
Speaker 2: is going to be exciting. He's also got a nice
Speaker 2: kind of like it's like a quarter arm angle slot
Speaker 2: that just makes him a little bit more deceptive, and
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna get some innings. And I mean
Speaker 2: we've talked about this joke. This was the guy if
Speaker 2: you were trying There are two guys you were trying
Speaker 2: to stash as far as prospect pictures right now, Gavin
Speaker 2: Williams and Emit Shean, And there he is, and hopefully
Speaker 2: you got your sharers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Welsh and props here. I had not
Speaker 1: heard of m Itchhan until Welsh brought him up. Like
Speaker 1: I had heard of him, but not that like, oh
Speaker 1: he's making this noise basically, And this was like I
Speaker 1: feel like it was a month and a half ago,
Speaker 1: like it was a long time ago. I think when
Speaker 1: you first brought him up on the show and said, look,
Speaker 1: this guy's going bananas right now, you gotta at least
Speaker 1: watch him. If you're in Dynasty and he's not rostered,
Speaker 1: you gotta go roster him. The innings is a question.
Speaker 1: I mean he's up to like fifty six.
Speaker 2: I think fifty three, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, fifty three innings.
Speaker 1: I think what was the high. I think it was
Speaker 1: seventy eight if I was looking properly at so No.
Speaker 2: Last year, I was well, I would tell you this
Speaker 2: last year in the Majors it was sixty seven, But
Speaker 2: I think you also have to count what he did
Speaker 2: in the Arizona Fall League, which was at least another
Speaker 2: twenty to twenty five innings. Okay, So I think it's
Speaker 2: fair to say, let's call it ninety innings he got
Speaker 2: last year between the Arizona Fall League and the Majors,
Speaker 2: and he's already at fifty. You probably can push one,
Speaker 2: twenty one, thirty maybe, so you've got somewhere between sixty
Speaker 2: and eighty innings left on the year, depending how they
Speaker 2: manage him. So I guess that's more of like the
Speaker 2: long term redraft. People are concerned about what do you
Speaker 2: have at is she in?
Speaker 1: And just to go through the stats, obviously, when it
Speaker 1: comes to she Han, he's got a one eight sixty
Speaker 1: eighty eight strikeouts to twenty three walks over fifty three innings,
Speaker 1: just absurd. He was the number thirteen prospect on the pipeline.
Speaker 1: I got some questions actually this morning regarding she Han too,
Speaker 1: because everyone's very excited, and they asked me, I've got
Speaker 1: Logan Allen, I've got tener Byby, and I've got Taj Bradley.
Speaker 1: We dropped any of those guys for she Han and
Speaker 1: I said, no, I wouldn't because I think those guys
Speaker 1: are more relevant July, August, September possibly than she Han
Speaker 1: could possibly be. Now, I might be wrong, and maybe
Speaker 1: you're going to miss some lightning in a bottle here
Speaker 1: with she Had, But I think all three of those
Speaker 1: names for me all make it through the season longer
Speaker 1: than she had. What do you think about that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we can't even talk about Toash Brandley
Speaker 2: after that performance yesterday. I mean, nine outs, nine strikeouts,
Speaker 2: Taj is the best of the best right now. Someone
Speaker 2: asked me, I see, like I see the same question
Speaker 2: every single day. It's like Biby versus Logan Allen.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, they could mess with stuff. I think the
Speaker 2: Guardians rotation it has the same questions the Dodgers rotation.
Speaker 2: Because here's my only problem with she In, as much
Speaker 2: as I like him, is Dustin May is going to
Speaker 2: come back. He's actually over here at the Dodgers complex
Speaker 2: working through like they've got guys that are still coming
Speaker 2: back from injury. Urius. You know we're dealing with so
Speaker 2: that is going to take someone off, So I kind
Speaker 2: of don't know if this is a long term thing.
Speaker 2: So my answer is I'm probably gonna take all those
Speaker 2: guys over she in because I think she into me
Speaker 2: feels very a J Smith's shavor right now, Like I
Speaker 2: don't know if he can.
Speaker 1: He is a six week solution til you get to
Speaker 1: the trade deadline if you're the Dodgers, because you have
Speaker 1: an opportunity then to either you know, he showcase this
Speaker 1: kid and he's unbelievable and he can bring you back
Speaker 1: another major league picture that can really help you, or
Speaker 1: he gets you at least down to that area where Okay,
Speaker 1: now we're at the end of July, the Dodgers are
Speaker 1: in the trade market. Let's try to go to get
Speaker 1: in there and you know, make a move and then
Speaker 1: she can go back to Triple A for the rest
Speaker 1: of the season and sendings before Arnings to start.
Speaker 2: Or you know the one thing. And we're talking about
Speaker 2: this on rates and barrels with you know, I don't
Speaker 2: know if teams are open to doing this, but I
Speaker 2: really feel like the Dodgers are perfect for it. Is
Speaker 2: just create your starter out of two pictures, and I
Speaker 2: know it kind of maybe maybe in theory attaches like
Speaker 2: a bullpen because you're taking two pictures to be one starter.
Speaker 2: But in theory, if you do it right, these guys
Speaker 2: can go seven or eight innings and just put Bobby
Speaker 2: Miller in Ma she in together and you know, maybe
Speaker 2: it's Bobby starts the game and you give him a
Speaker 2: addit amount of pitches, you know, eighty, and he can
Speaker 2: maybe be like five innings, okay, and then she had
Speaker 2: comes in.
Speaker 1: Four em it you go through three innings and then
Speaker 1: go get your orange slices. You know. Look, that's the
Speaker 1: no was pitching in a safe space. This is where
Speaker 1: we are.
Speaker 2: That's the most nineties set of pitcher names to Bobby
Speaker 2: am it. You guys go and you take your pitches
Speaker 2: and you but you push them to go like eight
Speaker 2: innings and you can get both of them up. I
Speaker 2: think she and actually might be up to kind of
Speaker 2: stick around for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Bringing their Sega Genesis on the on the trip with
Speaker 1: them to Williams Sport. It's gonna be a good time,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 2: Go to old Sega Genesis. Well, you'd be like a
Speaker 2: game Boy game Boy PSP remember PSPs.
Speaker 1: I do I do VSP was like that was like
Speaker 1: two thousands, not two thousand. Yeah, the world two thousands. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: it was because I was out of college when the
Speaker 1: PSP happened, was out of there.
Speaker 2: I remember having a PSP, but I don't remember being
Speaker 2: eighteen or nineteen.
Speaker 1: But let's shout out BT because it's birthday today, one
Speaker 1: of our favorite pe Happy birthday. There you go. Let's
Speaker 1: get to some other headlines too. Matt Olsen dropped the
Speaker 1: fifth spot in the Braves lineup. It's I trolled him
Speaker 1: yesterday on the show. He went what one for nine
Speaker 1: with the four strikeouts, So we'll see if you can
Speaker 1: turn around this weekend. If you can, you're gonna do
Speaker 1: it against the Colorado Rockies pitching staff. So I feel
Speaker 1: like this weekend there's a good shot. Maybe this is
Speaker 1: your by low window on Matt Oles and just saying
Speaker 1: Grayson Rodriguez, let's talk about this. Eleven strikeouts, two earned
Speaker 1: runs over six inning in his start on Triple A Norfolk.
Speaker 1: Is this a sign that you should be getting back
Speaker 1: into the Grayson Rodriguez business here quicker than we.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. It's funny that you actually brought him
Speaker 2: up because I was looking at this exact thing just
Speaker 2: a couple of days ago. The secondaries were, like, his
Speaker 2: big question seems to kind of be getting his footing
Speaker 2: back in. The k's are still there. You know, he's
Speaker 2: striking out batters left and right, but like, I think
Speaker 2: he's finding his command in his confidence a little bit more.
Speaker 2: I think it might be the time. You know, we're
Speaker 2: all sitting here talking about do I cut Uri Perez
Speaker 2: and Emmett Sheen and a just shov Grace Rodriguez is
Speaker 2: gonna come back up and do some stuff here into
Speaker 2: the near future because that's what they need.
Speaker 1: Him to, that rotation desperately needs him to. I think
Speaker 1: we could agree.
Speaker 2: Yeah, over seventy innings last year, you could probably push
Speaker 2: easy one thirty. He's up to round sixty seven, so
Speaker 2: you probably still have another sixty to seventy innings out
Speaker 2: of him if you bring him up penning how aggressive
Speaker 2: they want to be, So yeah, I think he's going
Speaker 2: to be coming up in the near future, so I
Speaker 2: would probably preemptively pick up.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do some rapid fire questions here, Anthony
Speaker 1: XC seven, should I drop outman as a twenty six
Speaker 1: round keeper in a twelve team thirty round league. If
Speaker 1: I drop him and pick him back up later, he
Speaker 1: loses his keeper status. I mean it's been rough for Outman.
Speaker 1: Out there in the streets. April was glorious. Ever since,
Speaker 1: it's been a little rough. What do you think about Autman?
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's a big keeper. Was it twenty Did you
Speaker 2: say twenty six people?
Speaker 1: It's round he's round twenty six in the keeper in
Speaker 1: a twelve team league, so he'll be round twenty six.
Speaker 2: No, it's a twenty six key for in a in
Speaker 2: a twenty six thirty round league.
Speaker 1: So as a round twenty six keeper. I got Outman
Speaker 1: as a round twenty six keeper.
Speaker 2: Oh, I got you in a thirty round So we
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: He would be the equivalent of a twenty six round
Speaker 1: pick in order to keep him depends on many you're keeping.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you keep in that.
Speaker 2: That's a that's what I was alluding to. If it
Speaker 2: was like twenty six players, No, But.
Speaker 1: If it's shot let's say it's if it's a five
Speaker 1: person keeper, no, if it's a ten, probably now on
Speaker 1: the border where it's interesting. But I think it got
Speaker 1: I don't probably if it's if it's anything less than ten,
Speaker 1: I say no, I say, I say you could drop
Speaker 1: them and move on, because go get whatever you need
Speaker 1: to win. I like to win now.
Speaker 2: I think the I think the easy answer is like, yeah,
Speaker 2: you drop a couple people in the chat, like easy drop.
Speaker 2: The only thing that's making it is a keeper. Also,
Speaker 2: this is one of those guys in his struggles is
Speaker 2: almost a ten ten nine Homer seven stolen basis, but
Speaker 2: the strikeouts are horrid. He's got an XBA under one hundred.
Speaker 2: I just like you know when you find these diamonds
Speaker 2: and the rep that's what's keeper. Leaks are fun about
Speaker 2: sometimes where you can kind of stash if it picks
Speaker 2: back up. Because we saw the talent, we saw what
Speaker 2: he was doing. It's an absolute disaster right now. He
Speaker 2: just said it's a twelve team three keeper cut him
Speaker 2: and don't look back. Anthony x C seven.
Speaker 1: Tim's got one to better. Emmett Emmit Shehan or Emmett
Speaker 1: Brown from Back to the Future for now. Emmett Brown,
Speaker 1: I mean Brown, Doc Brown. Oh first name is is
Speaker 1: Emmett Oh? Okay, so I mean he invented time travel
Speaker 1: like em she Han is pretty impressive. But yeah, he
Speaker 1: invented time travel. I mean, I think you got to
Speaker 1: give Doc Brown. That's right, Scott, Mary, what are you doing? Uh,
Speaker 1: let's go to the rookie lookie A J. Smith shov
Speaker 1: one outsive of the quality start. He was very close
Speaker 1: to it. He allowed three runs in five and two
Speaker 1: thirds against the Rockies. Mets infield prospect RUnni Maurisio played
Speaker 1: the outfield last night, went three for five, not one
Speaker 1: but two homers. Start stashing now, because to Welsh's point
Speaker 1: at the top of the show, where he's I don't
Speaker 1: know what we're doing rookies anymore, they're playing. That's what
Speaker 1: teams are doing. They're all in. These guys are cheaper,
Speaker 1: so you can go ahead and move them through the
Speaker 1: system a little bit. The CBA is friendlier to this
Speaker 1: rookie onslaught and speaking of guys playing different positions, Christian
Speaker 1: and Cornossio and Strand was playing right field on Thursday. Welsh,
Speaker 1: so is this the beginning here? Let's I mean, it
Speaker 1: feels like we should be there.
Speaker 2: With cs right, Let's go we dance, we dance, we dance.
Speaker 2: When we hear he's playing another position, absolutely get him
Speaker 2: out there. I mean, would have been cool if you
Speaker 2: did this. Oh, I don't know yesterday, the day before
Speaker 2: the week before the month, but I guess they did
Speaker 2: do it yesterday, but the week before, the month before
Speaker 2: have worked through this? Why are you doing this now?
Speaker 2: But yes, great sign. That just creates more flexibility and
Speaker 2: clearly they want that bat in the lineup. But I
Speaker 2: don't know what timeline this puts on. If they're going
Speaker 2: to do the whole like you've got to learn the position.
Speaker 2: That might minimum be a two week thing, but this
Speaker 2: usually kick starts a player coming up very very soon
Speaker 2: to see what they have out of him. Rynie Marisio
Speaker 2: is very close already. Ce s if man, if we're
Speaker 2: not into July and and both of these guys are up, we.
Speaker 1: Riot, we riot. Uh. By the way, what is it jigawatt?
Speaker 1: Because remember says one point twenty one jigawas, right, wasn't
Speaker 1: it jiggawats? He said, I think jay Z invented that, right.
Speaker 2: A gig I think it's gig who.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a jay Z thing.
Speaker 2: I gonna be hit the old dusty trail.
Speaker 1: It's a giggle, let's say, is a giggle. There's jigawatts.
Speaker 2: Let's do a poll.
Speaker 1: He doesn't say gigawatt, he says jigawatts. I'm almost positive,
Speaker 1: h to the izzo. Let's take a quick break in
Speaker 1: the action and tell you about Fanimal. I love live events,
Speaker 1: but I hate buying tickets the hidden fees they suck.
Speaker 1: It's like paying for a whole other person who's not
Speaker 1: even there to be there with you at the event,
Speaker 1: and customer service is terrible, and coordinating with friends is
Speaker 1: a nightmare. But then I discovered Fanimal and Fannamal has
Speaker 1: tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball, you name it,
Speaker 1: and Major League Baseball. And plus there's no fee. Please,
Speaker 1: the price you see is actually the price you pay.
Speaker 1: What a concept? You heard it here first. Fanimal is
Speaker 1: the cheapest place on the internet to get MLB tickets.
Speaker 1: And we've all experienced how painful it is to coordinate
Speaker 1: going to events with friends, and I always end up
Speaker 1: fronting a bunch of money and then chasing down the
Speaker 1: friends to get reimbursed, and if they flake, I'm stuck
Speaker 1: with the whole bill. But f Animal's patentent group purchase
Speaker 1: makes it easy to split payments with your friends, so
Speaker 1: nobody's left holding the bag. And you don't have to
Speaker 1: commit until your friends do. So just pick the seats,
Speaker 1: pick how many tickets you want to pay for yourself,
Speaker 1: and then send the link to your friends. And when
Speaker 1: you join your group, everyone gets started separately and your
Speaker 1: tickets are secured, so you can stack cash by inviting
Speaker 1: friends ten bucks every time someone joins your group. Catching baby.
Speaker 1: So fanomal it has amazing customer service to don't take
Speaker 1: my word for it. Check out there hundreds and hundreds
Speaker 1: of five star reviews. The next time you need tickets,
Speaker 1: go to fanimal dot com or download the fannimal app
Speaker 1: and use the promo code animal MLB. That's fanimal MLB
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars off your first purchase. Check out fnimal
Speaker 1: and experience more. And now back to the action. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the injuries. Zach Netto on the ten day
Speaker 1: il with the oblique strain, so two of them runs
Speaker 1: in a game. Last time he made our list. Now
Speaker 1: he's off with an oblique strain, so it's been a
Speaker 1: rough up and down season for young zach Netto. Kyle
Speaker 1: Wright cleared to begin throwing program, so that's very important
Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Braves. They continue to piece this rotation together,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter because nobody in the East seems
Speaker 1: to want to get their craft together chet the Marlins
Speaker 1: of all teams. So more on the Marlins today in
Speaker 1: a bit. Cody Bellinger got activated off the ten dail
Speaker 1: and Matt Mrvis got sent down to Triple A. So
Speaker 1: after a couple homers, really Matt Murvis was not ready
Speaker 1: for prime time. So Dynasty outlook, did this change this
Speaker 1: cup of coffee that you saw from Matt Murvis change
Speaker 1: any of your feelings long term about him?
Speaker 2: The smart play is to like, not let it, But
Speaker 2: I don't know how you don't not let it. I mean,
Speaker 2: the strikeouts were a massive problem. I mean one of
Speaker 2: the biggest cells was what Mervis did last year. Every
Speaker 2: level he got better and better, he walked more, he
Speaker 2: struck out less. That was the whole way we got
Speaker 2: through it. And this year it's been a disaster. And also,
Speaker 2: you know, back of my mind, I've been staring, I've
Speaker 2: been thinking about like what the Cubs did to him
Speaker 2: early on, not wanting him there, wanting to bring these
Speaker 2: other guys in, and then they tried, I mean, they
Speaker 2: cut Hosmer to be like, all right, this is your
Speaker 2: gig and you could not maintain it. So I think
Speaker 2: we should pay attention to that. Because the batting average
Speaker 2: was a disastrous expected stats were a bit better, so
Speaker 2: I mean, there's obviously still promise in there. So that's
Speaker 2: why I don't want to completely give up, but it's
Speaker 2: definitely down a couple notches.
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry it is who Somebody called you Biff Tann
Speaker 1: and I think Wonky called you Biff Tann. That's kind
Speaker 1: of rough. Yeah, you know that's mean. If anything, you're
Speaker 1: more I would think like, hey, you get your damn
Speaker 1: hands off her more. You know Marty's dad kind of.
Speaker 2: You're calling me Marty's dad. I don't know what's his
Speaker 2: real name?
Speaker 1: To that?
Speaker 2: Oh, such a wacko? What is his name?
Speaker 1: Who is one of the weirdest he's so weird?
Speaker 2: Someone in the chat do it because he like, uh,
Speaker 2: it's some odd, odd ass name too, but he's got
Speaker 2: some really crazy quirks.
Speaker 1: Crispin Glover, Crispin Glove.
Speaker 2: Crispin that's right, Crispin.
Speaker 1: Crispin Glover is like he played that weird creepy like
Speaker 1: he plays weird creepy guy like he was in the
Speaker 1: Thanks That was it the Charlie's Angels. I remember he
Speaker 1: was creepy guy in that. Uh, he was creepy guy
Speaker 1: in River's Edge, totally creepy guy in that.
Speaker 2: I mean he's a little type caster Joe, because I
Speaker 2: think he's got one skill set. It's being really weird.
Speaker 1: Creepy weirdo. Like he's just a weirdo. He was a
Speaker 1: dead Man to which is other like Jim Jarmish film
Speaker 1: I'm really getting Yeah, exactly, I went to art school.
Speaker 2: So you mean he was a dead man.
Speaker 1: It's in a movie called dead Man. It was like
Speaker 1: a you know, they're creepy, weird.
Speaker 2: You know that one of the weirdest things I ever said.
Speaker 1: Pretty weird guys.
Speaker 2: I want to say. He did a podcast with Mark
Speaker 2: Marin a long time ago, and it was like as
Speaker 2: weird as you could think, Like he's just an odd audit.
Speaker 1: But think about like he's worked with all these great directors.
Speaker 1: I'm looking like The Doors, the People versus Larry Flint,
Speaker 1: Like the guy's been in like sixty movies. It looks
Speaker 1: like what's eating Gilbert Great? Like all these all these movies.
Speaker 2: Like he's got something on somebody. Yeah, he's got something
Speaker 2: he seems like someone that would have something.
Speaker 1: He takes advantage of the type cast and just goes,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna work. This is what I'm this is
Speaker 1: my wheel has.
Speaker 2: But thanks for that wonky thing. Oh no, you said Biff,
Speaker 2: you called me you're the route.
Speaker 1: I didn't call you Biff, Walk called you Biff. I
Speaker 1: said your hair is more Crispin Glover, Like, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Are we turning on the hair now? We had such
Speaker 2: a good run.
Speaker 1: Of great hair and that I'm saying he had great hair.
Speaker 1: You've got great hair. I'm just jealous. Is it weird
Speaker 1: to like do a show with me and then do
Speaker 1: a show with Eno because you know, has such like
Speaker 1: spectacular big curly hair, and he does.
Speaker 2: He was on foul Territory to the other day. It's
Speaker 2: so funny when you see people like go on those like,
Speaker 2: you know, big shows and and you can just see
Speaker 2: him sit in his space and he's just rocking all
Speaker 2: the curls and I could never. I could never. And
Speaker 2: Bogman too. I don't know if you've seen Bogmin's hair lately.
Speaker 2: It is something too, uh, it is something to marvel
Speaker 2: at and let's.
Speaker 1: Get let's marvel at John Gray who's gonna start on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and Pete Fairbanks who was activated gotta save. There you go.
Speaker 1: And Byron Buckston, hey, he's back. Set your watch. We'll
Speaker 1: see how long you last. I'll hear some fun stuff.
Speaker 1: So Nevada Governor Joel Lombardo signed the Athletics Baseball Stadium
Speaker 1: funding bill yesterday, So let's go. It's gonna be all
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, whatever creepy weird things that we can.
Speaker 2: Right as they had the reverse thing where he's like
Speaker 2: almost thirty thousand people and it's as A's and they're like,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: And see yu Vegas. Well, because I think that's just
Speaker 1: shows you what a joke it is. The reverse boycott.
Speaker 1: Let's all go to the game one night. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just it's that's where the kids should do that.
Speaker 2: Let's do it for a season. Did you see? Also
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper had some words about it too, because Bryce
Speaker 2: Harper famously from Vegas. There was actually a rumor a
Speaker 2: while back now that anyone cares that in the free
Speaker 2: agency time, Bryce Harper wanted to play for the Diamondbacks
Speaker 2: because it was closer to Vegas, or at least he
Speaker 2: was open to playing for the Diamondbacks at that time,
Speaker 2: but they didn't have the money. But Bryce Harper was
Speaker 2: in recent comments, he was super against this in that
Speaker 2: the A's should stay the A's because of their history,
Speaker 2: and they should open this up for expansion and Vegas
Speaker 2: should have an expansion team because you want a team
Speaker 2: that is going to be very Vegas rooted with the
Speaker 2: name and everything like that, and to get rid of
Speaker 2: the a I thought that was like an interesting take
Speaker 2: from a baseball player to be that invested in that
Speaker 2: take instead of just being like whatever. It was like, No,
Speaker 2: there's too much history with the A's, Vegas to be
Speaker 2: more water down with more players like that aren't ready
Speaker 2: for prime time, like well for one hundred and sixty
Speaker 2: two game season.
Speaker 1: That's that's what I mean.
Speaker 2: I will say one thing that I wish all sports
Speaker 2: would have figured out too is where I guess it's not
Speaker 2: a one for one, but like we definitely do see
Speaker 2: a lot of the issues come from team. You know,
Speaker 2: states that have like four teams, three teams. We don't
Speaker 2: need three teams in every state. You know, Florida, California,
Speaker 2: they don't need It's.
Speaker 1: Got five new York's got two. I mean Texas has two, right,
Speaker 1: and my.
Speaker 2: Well, Florida had I mean in football, Florida's got three.
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about some bigger, populous states. I mean,
Speaker 1: it just makes sense. And I say where he's coming from,
Speaker 1: like keeping the history of the team. But I mean
Speaker 1: I kind of think of it like the Oilers in
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. Like the Oilers had a really good,
Speaker 1: storied NFL history there. They had a lot of important
Speaker 1: players and a lot of important moments, and they did
Speaker 1: they kept that, they maintained that history. When they went
Speaker 1: over to Tennessee. The Rockies selected the contract of Jorgel
Speaker 1: Farrow at Triple A. Albert Quercue. If you're in those
Speaker 1: uh two catcher leagues, would you would you be trying
Speaker 1: to pick up Alfaro's Triple A.
Speaker 2: To catcher league? Sure, I'd be open to it. He
Speaker 2: had big power if Gary. If Gary Sanchez can succeed,
Speaker 2: anyone can succeed.
Speaker 1: Now I don't see Mayor in the chat today, and
Speaker 1: I think I know why because last night Paul Blackburn,
Speaker 1: his favorite pitcher, recorded a career high nine strikeout performance
Speaker 1: two earned runs over five and two thirds no decision.
Speaker 1: But I don't see you, Mike Mayor where you at?
Speaker 1: Mister I hate Paul Blackburn all that stuff. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't see him today. Mystery. I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think it's very telling down Maybe showy Otani bitch
Speaker 1: six innings of two run ball yesterday, twenty two home runs.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. We're running out of ways
Speaker 1: to talk about.
Speaker 2: What are his odds right now? Has anybody looked at
Speaker 2: his MVP odds? I'm gonna look right now.
Speaker 1: Yea, Why don't you look On betting? I got it right.
Speaker 1: You get all your odds right now. By way, our
Speaker 1: betting point group is joined a enormous we're well over
Speaker 1: one hundred now again betting pros dot com slash leading off.
Speaker 1: That's where you go join the betting Pros group. You
Speaker 1: can go and place your bets, have some fun things
Speaker 1: going on there. What is its am the.
Speaker 2: Group for almost one hundred fifty people? Oh no, I
Speaker 2: point out real quick, I want to get that group
Speaker 2: to two hundred. So let's make that happen and let's
Speaker 2: have a prize. But yeah, it's it's a minus three
Speaker 2: hundred right now. And Judge is plus eight hundred, So
Speaker 2: there's an eleven nine when.
Speaker 1: Judge got hurt. That really that, you know, and I
Speaker 1: just invested him and he got a hurt a week later.
Speaker 1: But let's again, I keep telling everybody, like, maybe a
Speaker 1: cash out now, because in six weeks, if he's not
Speaker 1: an Angel zero it's zero. That chance like it's over.
Speaker 1: It's a better chance of been winning National League MVP
Speaker 1: at that. But that's when I was, which is not
Speaker 1: an absurd thing. If he gets trade to the National League,
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what those odds would be
Speaker 1: because that would be fascinating.
Speaker 2: Remember Yspathia won the cy Young going with pitching three.
Speaker 1: Days rest for like a month, willed that team. He
Speaker 1: was hitting bombs, remember two That was when pictures were
Speaker 1: still hitting and he was hitting home runs in Miller Park.
Speaker 1: It was a great time to be a lot.
Speaker 2: Something to not discount. There's still the possibility even if
Speaker 2: you were traded to another division that he still gets
Speaker 2: that because of the time, I mean, like, we're no, but.
Speaker 1: If he gets trade to another league, that's a probably
Speaker 1: gets her to the National League. You can't win the
Speaker 1: American League MVP, Like that's not you know.
Speaker 2: But I'm saying you could still like there's.
Speaker 1: A better chance of him winning the National League MVP.
Speaker 1: In fact, are their odds for him at the National
Speaker 1: League MVP? God, that would be they even exist.
Speaker 2: You know what. That's what makes this crazy because I
Speaker 2: was saying, like they still they're still gonna have in
Speaker 2: mind what he did in the first half. The same
Speaker 2: thing happened with Sabathia, even though it was amazing where
Speaker 2: he was, they'll still consider that. But like you're right,
Speaker 2: a Kunya is minus money, you're not gonna put Atani
Speaker 2: over there, and and he's going to surpass a Kunya
Speaker 2: is going to do something wild this year. That's a
Speaker 2: good point.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm still gonna laugh at all of us
Speaker 1: because everyone's so happy with all these showing twany things,
Speaker 1: and then when he gets traded, they're all gonna laugh
Speaker 1: and take your money. He's not on the board right now.
Speaker 1: I'm looking right now for National League MVP.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say I don't think it gets traded,
Speaker 2: though I know we we had like a listener question
Speaker 2: that WALKI told.
Speaker 1: Us about, there's no way to the Angels need so
Speaker 1: much help in that organization. They're nowhere close.
Speaker 2: But they won't accept it. They haven't accepted it they
Speaker 2: wanted because the minute you trade oh Tani, that is
Speaker 2: the acceptance that he has gone from this organization forever.
Speaker 2: Where I think they would I think they would rather
Speaker 2: go to free agency and test that battle at this
Speaker 2: point than great.
Speaker 1: So you could lose him for a draft pick.
Speaker 2: That's stupid, but I think that's where it's that's horrendous,
Speaker 2: and this.
Speaker 1: Is why the Angels are the Angels. Well, they may
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, so bad Adley Rutschman three for five
Speaker 1: with a solo home run, a double. He's been terrific.
Speaker 1: Todd Bradley, as you mentioned before, eleven strikeouts, three runs,
Speaker 1: two of them earning four and a third. Again only
Speaker 1: four and a third, but still we'll take the eleven. Dude.
Speaker 2: He went nine and nine, nine straight outs, nine straight.
Speaker 2: He was bonkers and he was on the uh what
Speaker 2: is he? I think he was on my price picks
Speaker 2: yesterday too, So bam.
Speaker 1: Bam, Yeah, three down Aaron Nola. Still four runs and
Speaker 1: six and two thirds. I mean, I know they won,
Speaker 1: but is hers at four to six six Still I'm
Speaker 1: still buying Aaron Nola. But I just want to. This
Speaker 1: was always my fear with him, and this is why
Speaker 1: last year I really kicked myself because I always felt
Speaker 1: like he was an up and down guy and he
Speaker 1: was a high price tag guy, and I dropped him
Speaker 1: in my home league because of the price, and I
Speaker 1: was like, let me just reinvested another pitcher. And then
Speaker 1: he was amazing last year, and I was really pissed
Speaker 1: off at myself. And now here we are he's got
Speaker 1: a four six ERA and I said, well, I guess
Speaker 1: this is Aaron Ola after all, Jason Hayward over five
Speaker 1: four k's and Lauris Guriel came back and now he
Speaker 1: is over four or four strikeouts too. But uh yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe should have a rehab assignment. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: But anyway, let's pick some prizes, Welsh. Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Go to prize picks dot com, download the prize packs
Speaker 1: app get one hundred percent to pause a match up
Speaker 1: to one hundred dollars, but you have to use the
Speaker 1: promo code leading off? Can you remember that? Leading off?
Speaker 1: Go sign up today, Welsh? What do you have of
Speaker 1: the people?
Speaker 2: Oh love me? Some price picks and guess what we
Speaker 2: would have cashed yesterday if it wasn't for the Wiener,
Speaker 2: the Otani free Wiener.
Speaker 1: I know that was the only stingpid Wiener tacos. That's
Speaker 1: what I know.
Speaker 2: Have you seen my Wiener?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: So today there are no Wiener plays, so we're gonna
Speaker 2: go with three straight plays which did a little bit
Speaker 2: better yesterday. I'm going with George Springer just to score
Speaker 2: a run. I'm going with Goldie Fantasy score seven and
Speaker 2: a half and Ronald Acunya with a very high nine
Speaker 2: and a half score. But I like it a lot.
Speaker 2: I like going against Danellison, Lamette and the Rockies. I
Speaker 2: feel like I'm gonna take anything under fifteen for an
Speaker 2: Acuna over the weekend, So thank you very much again.
Speaker 2: Springer run, Goldie score, Acunya score. Those are my three
Speaker 2: to pay one hundred if you put down twenty.
Speaker 1: All right, prize picks for me. I'm doing all total
Speaker 1: bases today. One and a half over on Luis aries
Speaker 1: Welsh's favorite, one and a half over on Ronald Acunia
Speaker 1: for those same reasons against Nelson Lamette and one and
Speaker 1: a half show Yotani over because he's Shoeotani betting side. Today.
Speaker 1: It's not that again, we're in another weird betting day.
Speaker 1: Uh So, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: you a lot of appo bets, okay, and you can
Speaker 1: go follow me over at Betting Pros. I've made all
Speaker 1: these already in there, so you can go and follow along.
Speaker 1: Seay McClanahan six and a half. I'm gonna go the
Speaker 1: under here against San Diego. I know that's I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be unpopular. Then we're gonna go with the uh minus
Speaker 1: one ten Saint Louis Cardinals over the Mets because McGill's
Speaker 1: been terrible and the Mets don't have Alonzo, so let's
Speaker 1: troll the Mets a little bit. Kevin Gossman last start
Speaker 1: wasn't great, but I think, yeah, I know, but I
Speaker 1: like betting Texas tonight. At plus one twenty five, you're
Speaker 1: getting a much better number than the minus one thirty six.
Speaker 1: And again, I'm just we're gonna go OPO here. Today's
Speaker 1: opoh day. It's a freaky Friday. Let's call it freaky Friday.
Speaker 1: So going OPO with the Rangers at plus one twenty five.
Speaker 1: I'm going OPO with the Padres with Darbish on the
Speaker 1: Mount against McClanahan plus one oh two on the money line,
Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna go opo with McKenzie who's plus
Speaker 1: one thirty on the road against Zach Gallon. I think
Speaker 1: if you go opo here with small units and even
Speaker 1: plug them all together, if you hit everything, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have a really nice day. But you can do them
Speaker 1: individually too. Welsh, what do you have on the betting
Speaker 1: side today?
Speaker 2: You know that's interesting you brought up the I didn't
Speaker 2: put it on here, but I will tell you I'm
Speaker 2: considering it is that under in the Diamondbacks game actually
Speaker 2: against McKenzie and Gallon through the first five. Through the
Speaker 2: first five, it's low. I wish it was four and
Speaker 2: a half. It's at four. I just feel like that
Speaker 2: could go low early on and that makes it anybody's game.
Speaker 2: Dimebacks did just lose three or four, so you know,
Speaker 2: are they on a cold streak or are they going
Speaker 2: to come out swaying against the Guardian? So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling the first five ender on that one. But
Speaker 2: my bets so far are Andrew Abbott four and a
Speaker 2: half strikeouts today going up against the Astros. Bogman will
Speaker 2: be at that game, So he's going to bring good juju.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping and he's hoping ellid if Elli da La
Speaker 2: Cruise is not in the lineup. He said he's going
Speaker 2: to Riot and now's for his money back. But Andrew
Speaker 2: Abbott getting some strikeouts, and I'm going to go with
Speaker 2: a pretty easy play Atlanta minus one and a half
Speaker 2: and it's like minus one twenty or one twenty five
Speaker 2: up against Colorado, and I'm making the big bet on
Speaker 2: Atlanta just going ham. So those are my two bets
Speaker 2: right now. But make sure you follow the betting pros
Speaker 2: leading off group that we have because as we got
Speaker 2: we put in plays. I can't put in some of
Speaker 2: them yet my team total stuff, but any other lines
Speaker 2: or props we put in, you guys can go in
Speaker 2: check out, you can follow if you want with all
Speaker 2: other one hundred and forty plus people in that awesome group.
Speaker 2: So don't sign up today. Let's get to two hundred
Speaker 2: and Joe will you know he'll he'll wear a mohawk.
Speaker 1: Wonkey has said this last time about the discount dog
Speaker 1: on prize picks. Whenever they put those discount dogs, just
Speaker 1: go to the original number and just bet the under
Speaker 1: she's one hundred percent right.
Speaker 2: That's a good play.
Speaker 1: I mean it's similar to like those they put them
Speaker 1: out there when something went wrong in the algorithm and
Speaker 1: they want to change it, and they're like, you know,
Speaker 1: we should do instead, let's just offer it a discount.
Speaker 2: Well, it is one of those things like that way
Speaker 2: instead with normal books, when they when they'll put up
Speaker 2: like you know, they're like, hey, today is you know,
Speaker 2: the the bonus thing and you're just like, I don't
Speaker 2: believe you. I'm not going to take I never take those,
Speaker 2: but I don't know that that if tiny one was
Speaker 2: like pretty sexy, yes, yeah, that's a little Wiener was
Speaker 2: just like five and a half.
Speaker 1: And then we're just like, okay, well you know you
Speaker 1: walk out with an std That's what happens. So rare MLB.
Speaker 1: There's no transition I could possibly make. So let's just
Speaker 1: talk about so rare. It's free, it's fun, it's fantasy,
Speaker 1: and I I suggest you give it a try this weekend.
Speaker 1: You got Saturday Sunday going on. You're sitting by the pool,
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know, by the beach. I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of the kids are off right now. Just hanging
Speaker 1: out doing nothing. Go check out so Rare. It's cards,
Speaker 1: you open the packs, put your team together, you compete
Speaker 1: in places like our league, Fancypros dot Com slash leading
Speaker 1: off a league, So go check out so Rare play
Speaker 1: Today it's free Fantasypros dot Com Slash collect That's the
Speaker 1: place to do it. DFS Slate today. I'm still okay
Speaker 1: with investing in Gosman, despite the fact that I trolled them,
Speaker 1: because again I'm looking for who has potential for six strikeouts,
Speaker 1: quality start and a win. Again, just because I like
Speaker 1: quality start and the six strikeouts doesn't mean necessarily Toronto's
Speaker 1: gonna win that game. Eleven to two for Gossman, eleven
Speaker 1: to four for Joe Ryan really expensive today. Then you
Speaker 1: got Tristan McKenzie and Zach Gowen in the same game.
Speaker 1: I would go with the McKenzie side, just be OPO
Speaker 1: and be different in the tournaments, because I'm sure Gowen
Speaker 1: will be much more heavily rostered. Shane McClanahan also same thing.
Speaker 1: He's eleven k let's go to you Darbish at nine
Speaker 1: to three, So Freaky Friday today, we're just going OPO
Speaker 1: and everything. Yankees Braves Marlon Stacks, Jesus Sanchez two point seven,
Speaker 1: Oh Miller two point eight, Michael Harris two point five.
Speaker 1: Those are your cheap bats of the day. And the
Speaker 1: home run calls Ronald Acunya. That's the one for the weekend, Welsh.

Speaker 2: It was going to be Acunya. I was annoyed.
Speaker 1: Together, come.
Speaker 2: I will say. The guy that I put on here
Speaker 2: as my replacement was Freddy Freeman. If anybody cares so
Speaker 2: we can watch that. But I was one thousand percent
Speaker 2: going Acuna. Then I looked at the sheet and I
Speaker 2: was like, damn it, Joe, come on, but yeah, let's
