Everybody? 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.880 Is ce Joey p joe Piezopia and welcome to leading 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.439 off right here on Fantasy Pros, brought to you not 0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:26.040 bought by you, but brought to you instead by our 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.120 good friends at bet MGM, the King of Sportsbooks. 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.360 The Welsh is back. Mike Mayor's negativity is gone. After yesterday, 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:34.480 boyle boy, thank god? 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:35.280 What was negative? 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.879 And let me tell you, in the words of the 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.959 Red Bee, who hurt Mike Mayor? That's what I want 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.400 to know. All I know is he was a negative 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.360 Nancy yesterday. But today we've got mister positivity. The Welsh 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.640 is back. Welsh. Are you feeling better because you look 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:50.599 more like yourself? 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.560 Do I? Yeah? Sure, yeah, let's go with that. I'm 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:57.760 feeling better. Sure, I'm here though, I actually it actually 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.840 always boosts my spirits a little bit when I'm doing 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:02.720 the show with you and hanging with the peanuts and 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:03.480 cracker Jacks. 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:05.760 Well, it's always nice to have you here. And of 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.360 course we're gonna get through all of the news and 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.520 notes and latest things going on in Major League Baseball. 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.280 The start with the headlines here, Rowdy to Les Holmers 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.080 twice drives in eight runs. He is on fire. He's 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.119 rostered in less than fifty percent of leagues right now. Yeah, 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.040 pick up the big boy, don't you Welsh and just 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:22.440 ride a wave. I think I do. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.560 Yeah, Roddy Rowdy absolutely my friend, big, big fight. I mean, 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.200 if there was a player, by the way that was 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.400 built to play with the Brewers, I don't know if 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.720 there's a better connection, I mean, like Vogelbach in him, 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.560 but Rowdy is definitely set to be there in big, 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.480 big power. Absolutely run with it, always run and also 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.520 you know, tip to the wise, always run with the 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.720 hot hands, especially early on in the season, and create 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.800 yourself a little bit of movement to be able to 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.080 swing players left and right, like one or two players 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.280 to be able to pick up hot bats. But Rowdy 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.320 I might not be one of those guys. Probably someone 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:56.960 that you're gonna be able to be a mainstay with. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.520 I'm looking at Rowdy Telez stat wise, I'm thinking that 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:05.320 even with this hot start, thirties, definitely in his realm anyway, 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.640 in this three home Yeah, there is definitely within his 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.760 realm with the hot start, and also on top of that, 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.239 if you look at the bottom feeder pitching in Cincinnati, 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.959 in Pittsburgh, in that division, you know, outside of the 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.360 Milwaukee Brewers were great the Cubs. I mean, there's a 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.920 lot of opportunity here for him to continue to be 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.240 really solid. And I feel like maybe one of these 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:27.680 guys at the end of the year we look back 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.679 and go, Wow, what are the great draft values of 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.720 twenty twenty two. Jared Walsh went deep, yster, I drove 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.760 in four runs. Martine Perez another good start for him. 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.639 He's got two starts next week, by the way, to 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.600 go seven scoreless and Philly Zach Wheeler was pulled after 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.320 seven to two third scoreless innings. So Wheeler seems to 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.360 be back on track. Welsh, this is two good starts 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.640 in a row for Wheeler. So's your confidence back up 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:48.960 in him? 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.640 Yeah? Vello is coming back up. I mean something we 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:56.040 talked about short sample sizes April, freaking out about really 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:00.280 really well performing players that just haven't you know, haven't 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:03.400 you met their mark yet? And Vlo came back up. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.040 That was the big thing. You wanted the spin numbers 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.799 to be there. Vello is a little bit back up. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.679 You're getting closer into the spring months. It was a 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.920 by There are by opportunities that are still out there. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.480 Wheeler was one of them. I think guys like jose 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.480 Ah Bray you were out there, just these high end 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:21.760 performing players that people you know, the negativity if you will, 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.400 Joe the Mike Mayer, if you will out there, this 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.720 guy sucks and I'm done with it. And no, Wheeler 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.399 was definitely he was one of those prime players too. 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.560 With the early struggles with the v LO down that 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.040 it was like, this is an easy by opportunity because 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.800 people were losing their mind. Because he also came in 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.520 with some injury struggles as well, so very optimistic. 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.320 The shoulder injury in the spring was a bit of 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.800 my issue with Wheeler, so I dropped him significantly because 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:48.200 they just didn't want to take the risk. And I 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.520 don't know if we're out of the woods, but certainly 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.440 so far, last two starts seemed to at least turn 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.680 to corner. So we'll see if it's sustainable. You say, 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.640 a key Kochi goes six innings, allows just one earned run, 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:00.000 So my stack against him with the Yankees did not 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.160 work out for very will Cory Klueber fire six score 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.520 listenings in a no decision. Louis Castillo expected to be 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.280 back to make his season debut on Monday. Luis Castillo, 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:10.760 I do not think is long for the Reds. This 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.320 is their last ship. I think remaining they could really 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.120 bring something back for I would be all over this. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.880 I want to be on there now before the start, 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.800 whether it's good or bad. I think this is the 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.279 time to go buy Luis Castillo, because I do believe 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:26.680 Castillo will be pitching for somebody else in the latter 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.560 part of the year. What are your thoughts on Castillo 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:28.960 right now? 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.680 Well, I'm a little torn on that because the Reds 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.719 are just atrocious and they're not even making the pitchers 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.640 who have good stuff like serviceable at this point with 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.560 their three wins. Yeah, I'm with what you're saying. I 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.520 think the buy could be. Here's the only problem though, 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.719 is he hasn't been here to struggle, so I don't 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.320 feel like there's any I don't know, discount that's going on. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.000 There's a little bit of injury, but he's about to 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.040 come back, so I think the person that's out there 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.799 holding on to Luis Castillo is like, all right, cool, 0:04:58.040 --> 0:04:59.840 you know, I'm going to get this guy back, and 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.400 and there's no built in how horrible the Reds are 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.680 or any struggles, So I just don't know what that 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:07.280 discount looks like right now. I might be actually a 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:09.320 little bit more interested when he comes back and he 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.080 doesn't get a win, which he's not going to get 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.480 a win, and the Red struggle a little bit offensively, 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.720 that that might be a great time because I'm with you, 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.440 he's not long for this team. I cannot imagine he's 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.720 going to be traded, and that's when he's going to 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.920 be a really valuable asset. So if you can buy 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.680 on it now and just kind of sit and hold tight, sure, 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.840 I'm with it. I'm just a little bit worried. This 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.160 is like it's like a prospect, you know, prospect is 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.640 coming up and the world is their oyster for the 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.800 fantasy owner. And that's how Luis Castillo is right now. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.400 He can be the savior to everybody because you kind 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.680 of forget like, oh yeah, he's on the worst team 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.680 in baseball and they have absolutely no run support. Right now, 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.720 they put out a roster that could rival what the 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.800 Pirates did on Opening Day, But in a vacuum, I'm 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.960 with you, I'm a buy on Luis Castill if you can. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.800 The only difference is with him and a rookie is 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.400 I've seen the ceiling at the major league level, and 0:05:58.480 --> 0:05:59.440 I know what he can be. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:02.760 The excitement, looky hype. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.200 Yeah, but this is the only difference is if you're buying, 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.440 you're buying more of a proven entity. And I know 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.200 there's been some bad moments for Casto, there's also been 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.480 some really high points too. I think he's a very 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:17.000 polarizing picture, and I think right now there's every reason 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.719 to believe that if he lands in the right environment, 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.560 you could at least roll the dice and get a 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.599 good one. So if you if you're already struggling for pitching, 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.280 to me, this is a this is a roll of 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:26.080 the dice I would take. 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:29.400 Also, I don't say, but what is the roll of 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.720 the dice? But just in the LAist Castillo front, like 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.080 the but like what does that mean. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.640 Like Los Angeles? No, no, no, no, no, like Atlanta? 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:39.600 Okay, no, no, I'm not saying that. I'm saying, like 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.400 the roll of the dice of like what like you're 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.480 trading for him, like he's not available on a wire 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.640 or anything like that. So this is this actually kind 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.480 of your trading. Okay, so you are wanting to go 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.720 and acquire Luis Castillo for what do you think? What 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:51.440 does that look like? 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.840 Well, I mean, right now, I bet you can get 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.200 him for hazeleus Lozardo, Right. 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.560 I would think that's that's that's a good one you pulled, 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:02.600 because I was like, all. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:05.960 Right, because he's got issues, potentially, he's gotten off to 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.480 a good start. There's part of you that wants to 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:12.360 believe that everything is going to be roses, but he 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.200 is on I don't care what anybody tells me. I 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:15.880 don't care what the Marlins record. It's not a great 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.760 baseball team. So that's exactly the kind of guy that's 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:20.600 gotten off to a really good start that I think 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.480 has value, that I think has cachet, that I think 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.679 is a name that people recognize and are excited about, 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.080 whereas people with Castillo are a little afraid. And I 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.400 would take advantage of that. And if he and if 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.960 Louis Castillo lands on the Atlanta Braves because Charlie Morton 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.640 continues to stink and they're aggressive to add another starting pitcher, 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.560 woo wee, Like that is a good landing spot for Castillo, 0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:41.080 and I just think that kind of spot or the 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:42.840 you know, maybe even the Yankees or somewhere like that 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:43.760 could be good as well. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.600 I don't like it's a good name you pull. It's 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.720 a good name you pulled. The funny thing is is 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.320 I think you would be excited if Castillo is doing 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.000 what Lozardo was doing right now, and that's theronic. 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:58.080 But can Lozardo do this in August and September? We 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.040 have to look, we've already gotten April into May out 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:02.560 of him less. 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.800 That's why that calculated trade, the trade you presented, which 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.840 great job on the spot like that's probably a really 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.320 good one if someone wanted to do that. I think 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.160 it's hard to find like pitcher for pitcher type of 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.240 trades like that, but that is a solid name that 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.080 I think would get both parties thinking a little bit. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.720 So all right, taosk Gernandez expected to return on Thursday, 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.400 So that's good for the Tiascar owners and boil Boy 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.280 that Blue Jay's lineup continues to get better and better. 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.600 Nelson Cruz back was held out of the NATS lineup. 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.920 Nico Lodolo is going to be back though in the rotation. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:37.200 On Saturday for the Reds, Blake Snell made another rehab start, 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.839 so Nick Clevenger Black Snell is on his way. Nick 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.560 Martinez probably not long for this rotation. And Andrew Vaughn 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.160 looks like he could be moving onto the IL as well. 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:49.000 Any of these injury things. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:49.720 I want to peek. 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.040 Did you text Blake Snell see how he's doing. What's 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:52.280 going on? 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.160 Man, I'm excited to get back to the Major's baby. 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.079 I gotta get that money, getting the ridey buses out 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.760 here in the minor leagues. You're crazy. I ain't doing that. 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:02.960 Get me out of here, give me to the Mages 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:04.160 I live. 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.480 That's like Snowboys. It's my favorite thing. So let's talk 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.320 about this because, much to the chagrin of Mike Maher, 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.319 I got a text for Mayor about, like, I don't know, 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.319 six thirty seven o'clock yesterday evening, and he was yelling 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.400 at the sky that we're still talking about this Aaron 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.439 Judge home run ball that the guy gave the kid 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.240 and then the kid and the guy get to meet 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.280 Aaron Judge. I know, right, this feel good moment. Mike 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.400 Mayor could not be more of an angry old man 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:29.240 on the porch. 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.199 What will you tell me about how could you be 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.840 mad about the kid giving the ball in the happy story? 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:36.640 I don't know, but he was. You'll have to take 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:38.200 it up with him, but I just wanted to bring 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.120 it up again. Let me know what annoys him. So 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:44.360 nice job there for everybody, obviously getting to meet Aaron Judge. 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.000 I think it's great. I think it's I think we 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.920 all needed a feel good story. Madison Bumgarner need to 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:52.480 feel good story too, because he got injected. What's going 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.080 on with the umpiring right now in Major League Baseball? Welsh, 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:56.719 I know we've kind of touched on Angel Hernandez, but 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.480 i'mpiring as a hole right now. Seems a little contentious, 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.920 seems a little all over the place. Seems like robo 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.160 umps are possibly, you know, on the horizon. What are 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:05.600 your thoughts? 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.599 Yeah, I kind of went off on it on in 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:14.920 this league this week because I don't see how this 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.880 is good for baseball. I don't see how throwing players 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.840 out is good for baseball. It's another there's so many 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.400 things that baseball is doing that's bad for itself, and 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:29.880 the refereeing, the police of baseball are one of the 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:34.200 worst entities of it. They're bad at their job, hands down, 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.839 not arguable. There's one or two that are okay, but 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.440 as a whole and if you're judged by your winks link, 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.240 they're bad at their job. And now they're intimidate, trying 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.640 to intimidate players and throw them out of games. No 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.360 other sport willy nilly throws players out of games like 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:55.840 baseball does. For nonsense. They're being babies because bully tactics. 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.560 It's insane. Let the players freak out, let them yell, 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.400 Let let them be mad. It's their job to take it. 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.839 If they push you or spin on you or throw 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.719 a bat or something, then you throw them out. That 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.520 stuff yesterday was a the most ridiculous thing I've ever 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.679 seen with that umpire staring at Madison Bumgarner and b 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:19.679 was the creepiest, weirdest weirdo thing on the planet. He 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.599 was massaging his hands and I don't know if you 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:25.280 heard Bumgarner's comment that said, he's like, if you want 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.920 to play little uh miss, little Piggy or whatever, go 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.000 down to the miners where the kids are. And that's 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.400 what got him thrown out because he was staring at 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.240 him and rubbing his hand like a weirdo. Like, I 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.360 don't like it. I hate every ounce of it, from 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:42.480 it's so bad for baseball to that dude is weird, 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:43.959 like super weird. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.640 Justin Mason posted on Twitter like the slow motion of it, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:49.720 which made it ten times creepier. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.679 Yeah, that's what Well, Bally's tweeted that out everybody. Yeah, 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.920 Bally's put that out. I think he put music to it, 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.560 which made it funny. But Bally's put it out which 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.559 made it like an eighteen second clip, and it is 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:05.120 I'm telling you, I'm saying that. We've seen birds explode 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.440 on television. We've seen animals come on to the field. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.600 We've seen uh, you know, foul balls ruin someone's life. 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.480 We've seen so many things happen in baseball. But like, 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:20.240 that was one of the weirdest, creepiest things that I've 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:21.319 ever seen in baseball. 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.480 Yeah, it puts the lotion in the basket right or 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.319 else it gets the hose again. All right, let's move on. 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.440 That's what I'm involved. I'm gonna edit that song onto 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:32.520 that videode. 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.360 This is a fun little piece. I want to see 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.679 if you agree or disagree or maybe you have another name. 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.000 Let's rapid file. Let's put a little little game. You're 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.559 ready for a little game. Somebody on MLB dot com 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.520 wrote this, and I thought this was an interesting piece. 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.679 Uh the MVP for each team so far, So you 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.200 tell me I agree, or you give me the alternate 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.679 name for yourself. You don't have to have a breakdown. 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.719 This is just for fun so far. Let's start with 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.240 the American League East, the Blue Jays. MVP of the 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.679 Blue Jays so far, Alec Manoa, yes or no? 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:02.800 Yeah? Sure, okay? 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:08.240 For the Orioles, Bruce Zimmerman yesterday, I did whatever. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:09.160 Sure one for. 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.800 Era over twenty four and the third innings. 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.480 Just saying maybe Horay Lopez saves closing the games out? Yeah, sure, whatever, 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:16.200 all right? 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.160 For the Rays, Wander Franco MVP so far, the Rais, Yeah, okay, 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.920 Red Sox, this one was fascinating. Garrett Whitlock, who I've 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:24.680 got a ton of shares of. Oh yeah, yesterday? 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:25.200 Yeah. 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:27.120 Is he the most valuable Red Sox right now? 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.439 Right now? Yeah? I think so. Absolutely. They're closing situations 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.920 all wacko and yeah he from that being that fire hose, 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.560 he's the guy all. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:36.959 Right, Aaron Judge. I think we can all agree with 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.120 the Yankees. Obviously, with the Guardians, Jose Ramirez. We agree 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.480 with the Royals. They had Zach greenk with his twenty 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.439 eight innings two five seven ERA and what like three strikeouts? 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:51.360 It was he up to this year I wanted to do. Yeah, 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:53.160 I don't know if I have an argument, because that 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.240 whole team has been like the guys you would expect, 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.840 have been kind of disappointed. So yeah, Sureanky, that's fine. 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.520 All right? The Tigers Michael Fulmer is the one they 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.959 have here, which I don't love this one. But is 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.800 there another one for the Tigers that you could think of? 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.319 I mean, is it Hobby bias? 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:09.160 Is it? You know? 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:11.280 You want to put three scuobl in there? I think 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:12.120 Schooble is worthy of. 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.600 Maybe Schooble. I don't like the Michael Fulan. I'm gonna 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.960 say no on the former one. But they also don't 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.840 have Yeah, maybe Schooble. I mean I like school today 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:20.640 and Betts too, So. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.600 All right, dare I ask this? The Twins, it's obviously 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:29.120 Byron bucks in right, Okay, move on Bucks. The White 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.200 Sox Andrew Vaughn is who they came up with, which 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.080 is fascinating because he's the slash has been really good. 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.640 I know he's got the hand issue right now. But 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.320 two eighty three, three sixty seven, five sixty six slash 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:40.960 for Andrew Vaughn. Uh in a time where they've lost 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.040 a lot of guys to injury, I would say, Dylan cease. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.120 So I kind of disagree with this one. But what 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:45.640 are your thoughts? 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.560 Yeah, I mean I think you could still throw Robert 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:49.200 in there. I know he got injured, but when he's 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.040 out there, he is the lynch pin. H. I think 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.320 Cease has been phenomenal. Yeah, I would go see silber Von, 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:59.000 though Vaughn has been so valuable in how he is 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.160 able to like mainstay the roster as it is like 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.600 falling apart. But no, I guest sees with you. 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:07.720 All right, let's move on to some of the guys 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:09.880 in the rest of the west. Here, my trout, I 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:11.640 think we can all get behind that one Verlander of 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.680 the Astros. The athletics is an interesting one because this 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.680 guy is rostered in probably less than half of leagues 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.480 of Sheldon Noose. He's in three twenty nine and it's 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.000 got twenty five K's already on the ear. He's got 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.520 three steals. Yeah, in the record Sheldon Noose in the 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.000 minor leagues, he strike out a ton, but he got 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.560 a two to ninety plus batting average over five seasons. 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:34.560 I feel like this is a guy people should be 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.240 adding because playing time is not going to be an 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:36.920 issue for this guy. 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.240 I have been I've added him in multiple spots. Qualifies 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.960 at a couple of different positions. He was a prospect 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.080 with the Twins, and he's got huge power. I remember 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.040 I was in the AFL setting behind him and he 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.480 hit some of the biggest moonshots in BP that I've 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:53.880 seen before. He's got insane power and he runs for 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.160 a big dude. Yeah, I'll go with Sheldon Noisy. 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:58.240 All right, is it noisy? 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.880 I saw Sheldon Noisy? Oh it's oh yeah, he says 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.520 it noisy noisy. Oh. In a minute, I saw his 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.400 name in the minor leagues. I was like, well, I'm 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:08.200 gonna need help with that. 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:12.560 So well, well then I'm gonna have to re record 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:14.960 a video. Then probably all right, let's go to the 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.200 last ones here and then we'll do the National League tomorrow. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:22.240 They have JP Crawford for the Mariners, which, look, I know, 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.920 he's been pretty good. Yeah, Logan Gilbert, Hello, how was 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:26.640 Logan Gilbert not? 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.680 Yeah? Yeah, good point, good point. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.760 Really, And then Corey Seeger of the Rangers, which I guess, 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.440 you know, I mean Garcia has been okay, I mean 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.200 Corey Seeger hasn't been great. I mean, I don't know 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.360 if this is an MVP for the Rangers period. But 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.280 I thought that was kind of provocative. So I got 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.600 to learn to say Sheldon noisy noisy. It sounds very 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:52.880 Sheldon noisy lady. All right, let's go this day in 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.440 Major League baseball history in nineteen seventy five. You're gonna 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.320 love this one, Welsh. This is the specialization of baseball 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:02.760 right here. From the seventies. Oakland releases pinch runner, professional 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.560 pinch runner Herb Washington. All this guy did run. Washington 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.480 played one hundred and five major league games without batting, pitching, 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.760 or fielding. He was a professional pinch runner, and he 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.040 stole thirty one bases and scored thirty three runs. That 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:20.560 is a pretty spectacular thing. With all the specialization in 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.400 Major League baseball, do you think we're ever gonna see 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.360 something like this again? Where a guy's on the rostert 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.639 just to pinch run who has lightning speed. Like you 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.119 know how the NFL has guys that like that guy's 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.160 just there to take the top off the defense kind 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:33.480 of stuff. 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.000 Well, like they have like a long snapper too. They 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:37.760 had like an NFL they got like a long snapper 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:39.920 just for punts and stuff. I mean, Billy Hamilton is 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.280 one thing. Ellie Hamilton could probably do that right now, 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.840 was kind of that for a little bit. I actually 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.800 I'm actually surprised because I thought you were being like, yeah, 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.560 I thought you were like joking that I would like 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.280 this and that would really be annoyed by it. I 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.879 actually love it so much, so like I want to 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.119 watch like a thirty for thirty on this. Like that 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.440
