Speaker 1: Walker Bueller's day on Let's Play Ball. Welcome in everybody
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Pros. This is leading off, brought to you
Speaker 1: by bet MGM, the King of sportsbooks. It's me, Joey
Speaker 1: pa Joe Pisapia with me today is the one, the
Speaker 1: only Scott Bogman, and of course it's you and everybody
Speaker 1: listening and watching live on our YouTube channel YouTube dot
Speaker 1: com Slash Fantasy Pros MLB. I see the peanuts of
Speaker 1: the Crackerjacks are here. And if you haven't become a
Speaker 1: peena on the cracker Jack yet, I don't know what
Speaker 1: the heck you're waiting for, you can watch the show live.
Speaker 1: Comment comments are good or funny, We even bring the
Speaker 1: comments onto the show. Will make you famous here in Bogman.
Speaker 1: We got a lot to break down today, including of
Speaker 1: course our betting pros picks of the day. For some props,
Speaker 1: we've got some dfs. Bogman always brings the batter verse
Speaker 1: picture information every single Tuesday when he's here. But Boggs,
Speaker 1: I know you're bogged down, so to speak, with NFL
Speaker 1: draft coverage. Just nice, have a little palate cleanser, a
Speaker 1: little sorbet of baseball. If you will. It is.
Speaker 2: You know, it's not when you're a d Backs fan,
Speaker 2: but in general it is. So you know, we're gonna
Speaker 2: talk about the d Backs pretty quick here, so you know.
Speaker 1: Yes, well we'll get to that. Let's start with Walker
Speaker 1: Buehler tossing the first complete game end shutout of the
Speaker 1: season and win over the Diamondback. So there you have it,
Speaker 1: Walker Buehler striking out ten and gee, if only there
Speaker 1: was somebody screaming to the hilltops yesterday on the show
Speaker 1: that Walker Buler is closely underpriced on DraftKings. If only
Speaker 1: there was somebody telling you, here, go make some free money.
Speaker 1: I hope you made some. This is why you listen
Speaker 1: to the show. Taylor Ward homers twice as the Angels
Speaker 1: top the Guardians. A lot of Taylor Ward buzz here, bagman,
Speaker 1: what do you make? Yeah, a hot start for Ward
Speaker 1: so far.
Speaker 2: Hey, I like it. You know, two bombs today is fantastic.
Speaker 2: I've added him in a couple of spots.
Speaker 1: So look, this is the guy they said is going
Speaker 1: to be the every day guy, and here he is
Speaker 1: rewarding you with two bombs.
Speaker 3: So thumbs up for Taylor Ward.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Taylor Ward does certainly looking good. A lot of
Speaker 1: people getting give me questions about him, what do you think? Like,
Speaker 1: I would say the same thing. If they're there, you
Speaker 1: can get them, pick them up. What do you have
Speaker 1: to lose? Right, unless it's a really shallow league and
Speaker 1: it's really tough than I understand. But in any league
Speaker 1: where a guy's red hot and you think, hey, this
Speaker 1: is worth a shot, you never know how long ride
Speaker 1: that way last.
Speaker 2: You got to be like you jump on the wave,
Speaker 2: you ride it, and then when it's over you get off.
Speaker 3: It's fine, it's easy, it's.
Speaker 1: Fine, it's fine. Or some guys just never crash. I
Speaker 1: mean up until you know, April of this year with
Speaker 1: Maryfield's never crashed, right, Remember everyone's like, what do we
Speaker 1: do with this guy? Like, well, pick him up and
Speaker 1: see what happens. I'm sure he'll rebound. But still a
Speaker 1: crazy game yesterday in Saint Louis, mex Sure's or wifts
Speaker 1: ten and seven squirrels sittings. Incredible performance for him.
Speaker 2: Then that's one hundred and six start with ten strikeouts
Speaker 2: or more for him.
Speaker 1: It's that's it's just crazy, really really glad. I can't
Speaker 1: remember what.
Speaker 2: The Dbacks traded for UH to trade away maxures or
Speaker 2: I think we got like d D back from UH
Speaker 2: the Yankees and something else that was like a three
Speaker 2: way trade, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: I can't remember what it was.
Speaker 1: It was I'm gonna look at us if peanuts and
Speaker 1: cracker jacks or bog then somebody looked that up and
Speaker 1: let us know. So the Met's end up scoring five
Speaker 1: runs in the ninth inning to beat the Cardinals. And
Speaker 1: the wackiest part is it all kind of you know,
Speaker 1: came to Fruition with a Nolan Aronaudo error, which we
Speaker 1: don't see very often, one of the best defensive for
Speaker 1: their basements, and you could tell he just didn't have
Speaker 1: a good grip on the ball. He tried to rush
Speaker 1: and tried to make the play, he just didn't make it.
Speaker 1: And then Pandora's box was opened, Boba Schett opened up
Speaker 1: a cannon will pass go ahead grand slam in the eighth.
Speaker 1: We talked just yesterday, just yesterday, Bogan, we were we
Speaker 1: were all point yesterday. It was like, look with Meryfield,
Speaker 1: Boba sheet, there's a bunch of guys struggling. Go make
Speaker 1: offers of him right now today. Don't hesitate now guess
Speaker 1: what the windows shut because he had a huge day.
Speaker 1: Jock Peterson hits a six humber on this season. Some
Speaker 1: good news injuries Hunt fine, I know how about that iron,
Speaker 1: But doesn't he do this?
Speaker 2: Jock Peterson, he come streaks right right like he comes
Speaker 2: and goes in streaks. It's gonna be really good right now.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be.
Speaker 1: Really bad later. By the way I looked it up, it.
Speaker 2: Was Curtis Granderson going to the Tigers, Ian Kennedy and
Speaker 2: Edwin Jackson going to the d Backs.
Speaker 3: That's what they got. Or Max Scherzer So.
Speaker 1: Ian Kennedy and Edwin Jackson.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a J.
Speaker 2: Hinch proceeds to ruin Edwin Jackson square by letting him
Speaker 2: go one hundred and eighty pitches in an eight walk,
Speaker 2: no hitter, and Ian Kennedy. Ian Kennedy is pretty good.
Speaker 2: Let's say a young runner up behind CLAYT. Kershaw one year.
Speaker 2: But Kennedy had not Max Scherzer, So no Hall of Fame. No,
Speaker 2: not Max Scherzer.
Speaker 1: Also Max Scherzer is not Jacob de Grom. Some good
Speaker 1: news at least, we think, because it seems like the
Speaker 1: MRI yesterday showed and I'm gonna use all the correct
Speaker 1: quotes here. Quote considerable healing end quote. De Grom has
Speaker 1: been cleared to begin quote loading and strengthening end quote.
Speaker 2: I mean he I'm allowed to move his arm again
Speaker 2: like that, because that's kind of what it sounds like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, loading strengthening is the funniest term I've I've never
Speaker 1: seen this term in all the sports stuff we've covered,
Speaker 1: so I thought this was a new one and I
Speaker 1: wanted to bring it up. Have you ever heard of
Speaker 1: the loading and strengthening.
Speaker 2: No, but I've never been through like physical therapy before,
Speaker 2: so it's got to be a pet term, is what
Speaker 2: I'm thinking here.
Speaker 3: So, uh, I guess it's good news.
Speaker 2: But it's not like this puts a time frame on
Speaker 2: Jacob de Grom now or anything. They're just like, hey,
Speaker 2: he's you know, he's allowed to move his arm right now,
Speaker 2: so it won't fall off later. So I guess this
Speaker 2: is good news. It's it's better than nothing, I'll say. So, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, but I mean I got one team where
Speaker 2: I got Chris Sale, Jacob to Graham, and Jack Clarity,
Speaker 2: So it's not going.
Speaker 1: Very well in my teaching. Good paper in theory, I
Speaker 1: mean on paper.
Speaker 2: That's a great I mean, if we're talking about video games,
Speaker 2: that's a great rotation.
Speaker 3: They can't get hurt.
Speaker 1: Here's wakee Penguin here for the Petaza Krakatracks. Gram will
Speaker 1: be meeting with his psychic astrological arm physician tomorrow as well,
Speaker 1: that's always good news. And then next week is his
Speaker 1: meeting with the palm reader, so he'll be funny.
Speaker 3: It's anymore about.
Speaker 1: Its loading after the show and can be loading and strengthening.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, I think it's very clear that
Speaker 1: the way the Mets have gotten off to the hot start,
Speaker 1: the way the pitching and the starting realm has been
Speaker 1: so good as well. I'm still thinking July, because if
Speaker 1: we're looking at it reasonably right, if it takes all
Speaker 1: of May for him to load and strengthen and get
Speaker 1: back right to some sort of strength where you can
Speaker 1: go and pick up a ball again, then it's going
Speaker 1: to be at least three weeks to ramp them up
Speaker 1: again with stars. Probably two to three weeks somewhere in
Speaker 1: that range, unless they really rush them, which I doubt
Speaker 1: they're going to do. So I'm thinking, look, mid June
Speaker 1: would be awesome, but if you get them back before
Speaker 1: the All Star break, I think that'd be spectacular. But
Speaker 1: I just think they are so focused right now on waiting.
Speaker 1: So here's the one thing I will say. If you
Speaker 1: have to Grom and you want to get out from under,
Speaker 1: this is kind of the week to do it, because
Speaker 1: you got a positive note, and I think you have
Speaker 1: to be realistic. You've still got a good six weeks
Speaker 1: ahead of you at least, if not eight, before you're
Speaker 1: going to see him on i'm mound. If everything goes
Speaker 1: right and there's no setbacks, that's my window for de Grom.
Speaker 1: What's your thought process?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're under the thought of he comes
Speaker 2: back and is closing too, right, was in that kind
Speaker 2: of year?
Speaker 1: Hold well, that was my big right if he can't
Speaker 1: ramp up or if he has another issue in this process,
Speaker 1: he's a reliever as a high leverage reliever, where you
Speaker 1: just go out there and let him rip it for anything,
Speaker 1: and then that's fine. He doesn't have that constant build in,
Speaker 1: the constant armstress of pitch after pitch after pitch, for
Speaker 1: inting after inning.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think he's gonna pitch this year. So, uh,
Speaker 2: this is good news right now.
Speaker 1: Oh, like George Jefferson, help me. I'm sorry, this is
Speaker 1: good news right now.
Speaker 2: So I'm you know, if you can get like Tarik
Speaker 2: Skubell or somebody for him, I might do that. Like
Speaker 2: I just I don't see. I don't see how he
Speaker 2: pitches this year. It seems like he's destined for surgery,
Speaker 2: and that's not great news.
Speaker 3: So we'll see.
Speaker 1: I wish I would not have this, But the problem
Speaker 1: is that's on what every every time it gets hurt,
Speaker 1: it seems to be something else. It's the elbow, and
Speaker 1: it's the shoulder, and it's something else.
Speaker 2: I got one thousand arms like terminate to give him
Speaker 2: the mechanical arm. I guess I don't know what's happening,
Speaker 2: but that yeah, yeah, well, I mean, isn't this what
Speaker 2: happens when you don't get Tommy John surgery on your elbow,
Speaker 2: then your shoulder starts to go. So you know, this
Speaker 2: is not a is not a good scenario. This is
Speaker 2: good news doesn't mean it has made it a good scenario.
Speaker 1: So who would you rather have rest a season? Kyle
Speaker 1: Wright or Jacob de Grom Kyle, right, Wow, no hesitation.
Speaker 1: I'm just figured I put that out there, all right.
Speaker 2: I mean, though, if he plays, that's a ridiculous take.
Speaker 2: But I don't think he's gonna play.
Speaker 3: We'll see.
Speaker 1: Well that's fair, but that's it's baked into the question.
Speaker 1: That's why I asked it. The guy who's gotten off
Speaker 1: to a red hot start, nothing but clear skies and
Speaker 1: potential versus the guy that's not pitching right now. I
Speaker 1: think it's a valid point to ask, because I'm sure
Speaker 1: that's a move in some leagues you could pull off
Speaker 1: on either side if you wanted to right now, like,
Speaker 1: depending on what your view is of the d GRAM situation.
Speaker 1: Cavin Bigio place on the COVID nineteen list Eddie Rosario
Speaker 1: having procedure for blurred vision, and so keep an eye
Speaker 1: on that. I guess at.
Speaker 2: Least we at least that explains what was happening with him,
Speaker 2: because Welsh and I were looking at his numbers the
Speaker 2: other day on ITICL and I'm like, this guy has
Speaker 2: three hits on the year.
Speaker 1: It's like three or four hits in forty four at bats.
Speaker 2: He was hitting right around one hundred, which was off
Speaker 2: on like, what is wrong with him? And then it
Speaker 2: comes out the next day he's gonna have surgery on
Speaker 2: his eyeball, so I think they said eight to twelve
Speaker 2: weeks on that. So it's gonna be a little bit,
Speaker 2: but at least we have a reason why he was
Speaker 2: so terrible.
Speaker 1: Angel Hernandez also set to get that same surgery, hopefully
Speaker 1: on his eyes. Lots of blurred vision. Brandon marsh I
Speaker 1: was gonna be back apparently in the line up today,
Speaker 1: so keep an eye on that. Can we talk about
Speaker 1: this Bogman? Can we talk about the I'm sure you've
Speaker 1: seen it at some point, the Garrett Cole butt touching
Speaker 1: if you will, his own butt. Don't worry, don't call
Speaker 1: hr Garrett Cole In the game on Sunday, he had
Speaker 1: a let's just say a little bit of a brown
Speaker 1: stain on his right but and he kept going back
Speaker 1: and forth to it after everything.
Speaker 3: It wasn't from sliding.
Speaker 1: Was I don't believe it was from sliding, because I
Speaker 1: don't know where he would have slid. But I mean,
Speaker 1: and it was the best start of the year, just saying, hmmm.
Speaker 3: Look at that. That's weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, at least he didn't slather it all
Speaker 2: over his neck like Michael Pineda right. At least it
Speaker 2: looks somewhat natural there. I mean, it doesn't look good,
Speaker 2: but it looks somewhat natural there. But I mean, I mean,
Speaker 2: how does no one notice this? Why are we talking
Speaker 2: about it after the fact? So do you do you
Speaker 2: think he's gonna have to do like a little spin
Speaker 2: for the Empire, like they usually check your your gloves
Speaker 2: and your hat and everything.
Speaker 1: Do a little spin for us, Garrett, that's a little spin.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: In our private chat here on the s Y, I
Speaker 1: put in the link if you haven't seen it yet,
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your live reaction because it's pretty obvious.
Speaker 1: You know, he's you know, he's throwing gas and the
Speaker 1: ball is moving a lot, and then he goes right
Speaker 1: back and swiping. Now, as as someone who has roster
Speaker 1: Chara Cole in a very important league, I'm fine with this.
Speaker 1: I got no problem. Like, if you ain't cheating, you
Speaker 1: ain't trying. I feel like, yeah, baseball, it's kind of
Speaker 1: the end. But it's pretty obvious he just keeps going
Speaker 1: back to it, back to it. I mean obviously, Well,
Speaker 1: here's the most annoying thing about baseball, Joe, here's the
Speaker 1: most annoying thing about baseball. This will be taken care
Speaker 1: of within a start or two, and Angel Hernandez won't
Speaker 1: like Angel Ornanda is gonna keep calling games right and
Speaker 1: this will get taken care of though, and he might
Speaker 1: get a suspension or something. Well they I guess he
Speaker 1: can't prove anything now, so probably won't get a suspension.
Speaker 3: But this won't happen again.
Speaker 2: Now that it's been pointed out to a bunch of people,
Speaker 2: I can't imagine it happens again.
Speaker 3: So very strange, very strange.
Speaker 1: Yeah, his quote was pretty funny too about it. When
Speaker 1: asked about it.
Speaker 2: He didn't freak out and panic and not talk for
Speaker 2: ten seconds like all and then cry any of that again.
Speaker 1: We basically, why does everything need to be something? You
Speaker 1: know whatever? I mean, like it's well because you get going.
Speaker 3: Why do you make it so obvious? Stupid?
Speaker 2: Put it on your belt, you idiot? Why do you
Speaker 2: put it on a white uniform like? Put it underneath
Speaker 2: your cap and rub your cat something. Make it a
Speaker 2: little less conspicuous, Garrett, What are you doing?
Speaker 1: Come on, Garrett, I've never read anybody that was like
Speaker 1: such a parent. What are you doing? Garrett? That was
Speaker 1: Garrett's energy that I'll ever have is right, there's say
Speaker 1: because you never have the dead energy. That's like me
Speaker 1: ELS's job. You're at it today. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 1: This day in baseball history. This is fun considering we
Speaker 1: started talking about Bob Baschett before Dante Bichette in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety five. On this date, Corus Field, the National League's
Speaker 1: first baseball only stadium in Colorado in twenty three years,
Speaker 1: opens in dramatic fashion in Denver and Dante Bichett. It's
Speaker 1: a three run homer in the fourteenth and eleven to one,
Speaker 1: eleven to nine victory over the Mets. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember who started that game? Actually, I
Speaker 1: think I do know. I do know. Trivia question, who
Speaker 1: started that game? You remember.
Speaker 3: Danny Nagel out of my Campton. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Pizza Cracker Jacks, Kevin Brown. Nope, nope, Pizza cracker Jacks.
Speaker 1: Anybody want to take a shot at this one here
Speaker 1: in the chat, Go ahead, I'll give you a couple
Speaker 1: of months.
Speaker 2: My buddy has a funny Dante Boschett stories that spring
Speaker 2: training a bunch of guys are yelling at him.
Speaker 3: Calling him fat.
Speaker 2: You're so fat, Dante, You're so fat, and Bashett reaches down,
Speaker 2: picks up a big old water grass, looks at him,
Speaker 2: and then sticks it in his mouth and acts like
Speaker 2: he's chewing on it.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a hint. Peanuts and cracker jacks. By
Speaker 1: the way, it was their first selection in the expansion
Speaker 1: Draft or whatever that was. So and I remember the
Speaker 1: guy's name because I remember having his baseball card and going,
Speaker 1: oh cool, this guy's a Rocky. The Rockies are new.
Speaker 1: That was so much.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: What year was that expansion draft? Ninety three? Expansion Draft
Speaker 1: was ninety three. They came in a yeah, the expansion
Speaker 1: Draft came in, right, man. I can't remember who it was.
Speaker 3: Who was it?
Speaker 1: The answer was David Need. Remember David Need again, you
Speaker 1: were you were a kid, you were just a lad.
Speaker 2: I don't really remember David Need. No, I remember I
Speaker 2: remember them signing my camp to that huge deal. I
Speaker 2: remember them signing Denny Nagle or did they draft inning Nagel?
Speaker 2: I can't remember which one it was.
Speaker 1: In that expand David Need made the first start ever
Speaker 1: in Rocky's history.
Speaker 3: That was the guy so good.
Speaker 2: Do you remember who made the first start ever in
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks history.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 3: I was ninety eight, a little closer, but still, you know.
Speaker 1: Give me a give me a hint, and then I'll
Speaker 1: think about it.
Speaker 2: He he played for the Cardinals before the Diamondbacks as
Speaker 2: a starter.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'll think on that one. Stat Heroes
Speaker 1: of last night Walker Bueller nine innings, ten k's for him,
Speaker 1: We talked about that. Corbyn Burns eleven strikeouts, did get
Speaker 1: the no decision though, we talked about Walker Bueller on
Speaker 1: DK being the better guy though, because path to the
Speaker 1: victory was very clear there. Michael Lorenzen six innings, no earned,
Speaker 1: just three k's, four walks, but he did get the
Speaker 1: w f mber Valdez was solid again, got the no
Speaker 1: decision though five k's for him. Surezer was dominant. Miles
Speaker 1: Bicholas five k's, one walk, seven strong innings, no earned
Speaker 1: runs for him. He was very sharp. Nadie Valdi five
Speaker 1: k's from him to two earned runs over seven Barrios
Speaker 1: was good too, two earned runs for him, no decision
Speaker 1: against the Red Sox and of course the hitters yesterday,
Speaker 1: Taylor Ward with the two home runs. Will Smith Welsh
Speaker 1: is finally up on the board. He's up to two
Speaker 1: right now. Jordan Alvarez with a home run. That was
Speaker 1: the other guy we talked about buying Jordan Alvarez, Wit,
Speaker 1: Marryfield and Bishett those are the three guys. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and we talked about Kyle Tucker who then was three
Speaker 1: for four. The Astros were a stack of the night yesterday.
Speaker 1: So my goodness, I hope you have made money. Brandon
Speaker 1: Nimma won for five, but he had a big two
Speaker 1: run home run. Gritchuk also with a grand excuse me,
Speaker 1: Gritschuk with a home run. Also we mentioned Baschet's Grand Slam.
Speaker 1: Reese host that a good night, Brice Harper with a dinger,
Speaker 1: and Jock Peterson continues on and Connor Joe with another
Speaker 1: home run too. What do you make of Connor Joe?
Speaker 1: This other guy, that kind of he was. He was
Speaker 1: a little divisive, I think this offseason. Then he saw
Speaker 1: Tappya get moved to Toronto and that sort of opened
Speaker 1: up the path for the joke, the Connor Joe truthers.
Speaker 1: But do you think this is sustainable for him?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's sustainable at this level, but
Speaker 2: he can be a solid outfielder for you for the
Speaker 2: rest of the season.
Speaker 3: So that's that's what you like about him.
Speaker 2: You know, these guys at the end of your bench,
Speaker 2: all you're looking for is someone that won't hurt you,
Speaker 2: you know, that's it. And Connor Joe seems to be
Speaker 2: that guy. He's got a very very good eye. And
Speaker 2: you know, I tell you who else has been impressive
Speaker 2: who you mentioned here? Michael Lorenzen has been fairly impressive here.
Speaker 2: You know, I think he's had really one bad inning
Speaker 2: the whole season, so he's been great. Did you come
Speaker 2: up with that he come up with that first starter
Speaker 2: in Dbacks history? Joe?
Speaker 1: I didn't. And I was thinking about Cardinals and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of like that arrow, So what year
Speaker 1: was it?
Speaker 3: This was nineteen ninety eight Cardinals picture.
Speaker 1: No, who was it?
Speaker 3: Andy Bennis? Oh?
Speaker 1: Wow, Andy Bennis. I should have gotten that, Andy Venice.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 2: I just remember he's coming out to go to the
Speaker 2: mound for the first time for anyone in Dback's history,
Speaker 2: and I'm watching on TV and he is just rabbing
Speaker 2: his jockstrap like I don't know what's going on there,
Speaker 2: but he is.
Speaker 1: He is adjusting it a lot, and I.
Speaker 2: Was like, dude, this is a moment. What are you doing,
Speaker 2: bud so? But but he was he was not very good.
Speaker 2: I remember a lot of Rockies hit homers into the
Speaker 2: pool and stuff.
Speaker 3: So you know, just the way.
Speaker 1: Clayton Courtney, who's keeping me honest here? Yes, I would
Speaker 1: just to be specific. Who made the first start in
Speaker 1: Rocky history is when I was asking, not that specific game,
Speaker 1: not the one in Colorado. Yes, David Need started the
Speaker 1: first game in Rockies history, but it was on the road.
Speaker 1: You are correct, So Clayton is correct on that one.
Speaker 1: So I don't know who made that first start in Colorado.
Speaker 1: That way, I would have to dig a little deeper.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the Zeros. Basically, is Jay Voni Diegos
Speaker 1: last night with the four hits for cloone save not
Speaker 1: a good night for him, especially in those points leagues
Speaker 1: where you get minus for the loss of the blow
Speaker 1: and save and the whole thing. That's a that's a
Speaker 1: nice minus eighteen's like everything good Walker Peel just didd
Speaker 1: for you is wiped away a third by Diegos. Pretty
Speaker 1: much Yuck Closer, suck all right, Starling Marte over five
Speaker 1: to two. K's Brdan Crawford with an over and the
Speaker 1: hat trick O Tani over with two k's Dylan Carlson
Speaker 1: contins to struggle. He's down to two oh three, no
Speaker 1: home runs fourteen games so far, Dylan Carlson. I've gotten
Speaker 1: more Dylan Carlson trade questions than any other question on Twitter.
Speaker 1: Where are you stand on the Dylan Carlson side? Are
Speaker 1: you in the by Loo or just get out and
Speaker 1: move on?
Speaker 2: I think I'm in the by Low side here. I
Speaker 2: just I can't imagine it stays this bad all year long.
Speaker 2: And it's just I'm, you know, like most people, I'm
Speaker 2: a by Low and a cell high guy. So I
Speaker 2: have a real hard time selling a guy when he's
Speaker 2: at his very bottom here.
Speaker 1: So would you drop him for like a tail award
Speaker 1: or somebody like that on the waiver wire? You know what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Taylor Ward's available, I could see doing that
Speaker 2: for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think you you waited long enough on a guy
Speaker 2: like that. So yeah, if your league is shall enough
Speaker 2: to wear a guy like Taylor Wards floating around there
Speaker 2: for you, then I would do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right?
Speaker 1: I could tell Marte also for four with a K.
Speaker 1: He's at a buck fifty six right now through seventeen games.
Speaker 1: No homers. To me, this has a lot to do
Speaker 1: with also lineup protection.
Speaker 2: And he's pressing. He's pressing. He wants to hit a
Speaker 2: homer every single at bat.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: That's the That's what I watch the most is Diamondbacks
Speaker 2: baseball because I'm a psychopath. So but Mart, you can
Speaker 2: tell he is absolutely pressing up there. So he's going
Speaker 2: to get it right as soon as he calms down.
Speaker 2: I think he's trying to live up to this contract
Speaker 2: he just signed, and he can't do it all in
Speaker 2: a week.
Speaker 3: Could tell. Settle down, you and Garrett.
Speaker 1: Relax all right, relax, simmer, Garrett, Simma down. Now, let's
Speaker 1: get to the home run board. Boom the night, King
Speaker 1: up to eight, Oh my goodness, night, King of the
Speaker 1: North up to eight bombs was at b maac A
Speaker 1: twelve at six, JP's at six, Brant Cox at six,
Speaker 1: so a lot of people at six. I'm still at
Speaker 1: one because I'm a miserable person and I'm just so
Speaker 1: unhappy with how April's going. Me and Dylan Carlson stone
Speaker 1: cold so far. Let's get to the prop market. For

Speaker 1: be hosting, by the way, here live with Me, Joey
Speaker 1: P and all my friends Thursday night and Friday night
Speaker 1: on our regular Fantasy Pros channel, not MLB of course,
Speaker 1: just Fantasy Pros. So today, here's what in terms of
Speaker 1: the prop market, and you know your thoughts on this,
Speaker 1: anything pop out to you before I get to some
Speaker 1: of mine or do you have a chance to look
Speaker 1: at that.
Speaker 3: Yet today nothing's really leaping out? What did you like?
Speaker 1: Yeah? For me? I think the biggest point that I
Speaker 1: was trying to get to was also driving home that
Speaker 1: now things are righted the ship a little bit. You know,
Speaker 1: we talked earlier in the season about how some of
Speaker 1: these k props have been very low, some these other
Speaker 1: things have been pretty low. For me, looking at Jordan Hicks,
Speaker 1: that was the first one that popped out. And this
Speaker 1: is just I think, a gimme, he's going against the
Speaker 1: Mets today. And I know we promised one of our
Speaker 1: avid listeners or Jordan Hicks conversation. I actually picked him
Speaker 1: up in my home league this week on fandle. He
Speaker 1: is just three and a half projected at five right
Speaker 1: now you get minus one oh four. It's a pretty
Speaker 1: good number on Jordan Hicks. So I like that one.
Speaker 1: Hearn is an interesting one too because it's set so low.
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, because some of these guys
Speaker 1: are back and pitching out of bullpens or ramping up
Speaker 1: a little bit, we've seen the k prop numbers go
Speaker 1: from too low to being corrected. And now some of
Speaker 1: these guys who are getting into rotations or some of
Speaker 1: his younger pitchers, they've completely suppressed again. So Hern's another
Speaker 1: guy three point five. He's at projected at five today.
Speaker 1: Now it's a tough matchup against Houston, but again there's
Speaker 1: some strikeouts in that lineup potentially as well. Looking around also,
Speaker 1: I think the third thing, eventually, I feel like Joey
Speaker 1: Vaddo's gonna turn around. He is juster point five on
Speaker 1: the total bases right now, and that's over at bet MGM.
Speaker 1: So bet MGM's Joey Votto total bases. Hearn for the
Speaker 1: picture for the Texas Rangers day three and a half
Speaker 1: on Fandel and then over on Fandel as well, Jordan
Speaker 1: Hicks at three and a half. What do you make
Speaker 1: of Hicks so far? I mean, we all know this
Speaker 1: stuff is good, but what do you think his prospects
Speaker 1: are of sticking as a starting pitcher for a longer
Speaker 1: period of time in twenty twenty two?
Speaker 2: Well, I tell you what, if Gagos looks this bad
Speaker 2: again soon, then they might. It's in the back end,
Speaker 2: you know, because ga Goes has looked terrible so far.
Speaker 3: So that hasn't been good.
Speaker 2: He's been fine, but it always like even a guy
Speaker 2: like Hunter Green, you know, and guys like Chapman, they
Speaker 2: come up as the starters, but It just seems like
Speaker 2: guys that throw that hard are destined for the bullpen,
Speaker 2: you know, because if you throw that hard, then you
Speaker 2: probably can't make it last very long. Jacob deGrom So
Speaker 2: you know, I think I think he's better suited for
Speaker 2: the back end. But it is easier to trade for
Speaker 2: a closer too than a starter. So if that's the
Speaker 2: route that the Cardinals want to go, Hicks could stick here.
Speaker 2: I think he's best suited for the back end, though.
Speaker 2: I like the Sandy al Contra over four and a
Speaker 2: half strikeouts snipe, by the way against Washington.
Speaker 3: I think that's a pretty solid one, and.
Speaker 1: It's a good one. Speaking of at Condra, let's talk
Speaker 1: about some of our guys that I dfs. We'll start
Speaker 1: on DraftKings with ocontri Is nine point four against the
Speaker 1: NAT's a pretty good investment there. Luis Evreno's at nine
Speaker 1: point two tonight going against Jordan Lyles. Now. Lyles just
Speaker 1: five point five on DK, and he's pitched pretty well.
Speaker 1: Boggy's gonna show you some scary numbers against Stanton for
Speaker 1: a whiles, but other than that, I mean, Lyles has
Speaker 1: been pretty good. If you want to go crazy Opo
Speaker 1: here Man five point five. You can basically have all
Speaker 1: your cake and eat it too, Kevin Gosman eight point seven.
Speaker 1: In this matchup against the Red Sox tonight too, that's
Speaker 1: on the table. The Cubs have struggled, so is Marcus
Speaker 1: Stroman in Atlanta. I think you got to look at
Speaker 1: Max Freed tonight. I think at t Wortle. Rodriguez doesn't
Speaker 1: play at six point three is a secondary arm. Chris
Speaker 1: Bassett's been terrific at nine point eight, but it is
Speaker 1: on the road, it is against the Cardinals, pretty good team.
Speaker 1: So fading that Hicks at seven point four. I just
Speaker 1: wonder again, when I've got Hicks at seven point four
Speaker 1: and I've got Rodriguez at six point three, I just
Speaker 1: feel like Rodriguez a guy who can go longer in
Speaker 1: the game potentially, That's the only thing I know. But
Speaker 1: you know what, it's been so cold in Detroit also,
Speaker 1: and like I don't know, I just want to give
Speaker 1: him a pass. I mean, not that Minnesota is any warmer.
Speaker 1: And then, of course, if you want to go Chalky tonight,
Speaker 1: it's Carlos Rodon at ten point one. You've got to
Speaker 1: be loving this. Carlos Rodin run. Hey. I mean, imagine
Speaker 1: if anybody's loving as you are.
Speaker 2: I mean, I like him, but I think I was
Speaker 2: lowest on the Fantasy pros CCR on Carlos Dan because
Speaker 2: I don't the sarcasm.
Speaker 1: That's what I would saying.
Speaker 3: He ain't gonna make it through the season though, like that,
Speaker 3: that's the whole thing, you know.
Speaker 2: We talked to Nick Pollock about him the pictureless uh
Speaker 2: you know head Haunch over there, and he said he
Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of glowing things to say about him,
Speaker 2: So I don't know, man, Yeah, but.
Speaker 1: He loved John Means too, So what are you gonna do? Well?
Speaker 2: I mean, but that isn't that the point? I that's
Speaker 2: what I said about John Means and he goes down.
Speaker 2: I just Carlos for don is a top three talent
Speaker 2: that won't make it all the way through the season,
Speaker 2: is basically what Nick said. And I'm gonna follow that.
Speaker 2: I just don't think he'll make it all the way
Speaker 2: through the year. So enjoy it and enjoy it while
Speaker 2: you can, right now, That's what I'll say.
Speaker 1: Ride that wave until it the way hopefully doesn't get
Speaker 1: too high and kill you. That's all I'm saying, let's
Speaker 1: get to the let's get to the FanDuel part here
Speaker 1: before we kick off. We got Brandon Woodruff at ten
Speaker 1: k against the Pirates is a really good one here.
Speaker 1: Potentially this is the six thirty five start there that
Speaker 1: you've got Joe musk Grove over the ten point eight.
Speaker 1: Now here's another question for you, Box, when you're looking
Speaker 1: at the BVP numbers tonight, what kind of jumped out
Speaker 1: at you that you thought was a really good opportunity?
Speaker 2: Well, how about stacking against Daniel Lynch. Because the White
Speaker 2: Sox as a team are fifteen for twenty six. That's
Speaker 2: a six zo nine average with four bombs, a double
Speaker 2: and a triple against him. So that is what really
Speaker 2: stands out to me the most is maybe just stack
Speaker 2: some White Sox tonight. Boba Schett, who just hit that
Speaker 2: Grand Slam, is eight for seventeen with two bombs and
Speaker 2: two doubles against Nick Pavetta, so we like that one.
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger, who is starting to get hot, five for
Speaker 2: fifteen with a bomb against Sack Davies who is starting
Speaker 2: for the Dbacks to night for some reason, Xander Bogart's
Speaker 2: fourteen for forty three with a bomb in two doubles
Speaker 2: versus Gossman, Gian Carlos Stanton who you mentioned before, six
Speaker 2: of twelve, a homer and two doubles for Shortan Lyles,
Speaker 2: but he's been cold. So like you said, if Lyles
Speaker 2: is a guy that you like and almost he's gonna
Speaker 2: be close to zero percent rostered because they're playing the Yankees.
Speaker 2: Not a bad buy, not a bad thought, like like
Speaker 2: you mentioned before, Jay Martinez five for twelve with a
Speaker 2: bomb against Gosman, Wanceto eight for twenty two with two
Speaker 2: bombs against Alcontra, Marcus Simeon five for fourteen, two homer,
Speaker 2: two doubles versus Attorizzi. Maybe he is going to get
Speaker 2: out of his slump against Jake O Trey Mancini six
Speaker 2: for twelve with a bomb against Severino, Carlos Korea six
Speaker 2: for ten with a double against e Rod. And the
Speaker 2: last one here I'll mentioned is Ozzy Albi's five for
Speaker 2: thirteen vers Stroman, who you mentioned before.
Speaker 3: You know, a little stack against them.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our whole run call for
Speaker 1: the night. Oh my god, I I really I'm just
Speaker 1: a disgrace to myself and others. I keep going back
Speaker 1: and forth, and now I'm in my head this is
Speaker 1: the worst because I've had like three different guys on there.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with one of your guys actually tonight
Speaker 1: that was in this mix. You're talking about the VVP numbers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Stanton and Yankee Stadium. How good
Speaker 1: can Jordan Lyles be for how long? I don't know.
Speaker 1: At least Stanton's one of these guys that's due. And
Speaker 1: Stant's another guy that could hit two in a night.
Speaker 1: We all know that. So I'm gonna go with you
Speaker 1: and Carlo Stanton, and I'm gonna change my home run
Speaker 1: call on the fly, Bobbing, where are you going for
Speaker 1: your home run call tonight?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Jordan Alvarez.
Speaker 2: I've been going with some of these PVB guys and
Speaker 2: it hasn't really worked out for me. I think I
Speaker 2: have one on Nolan Ernato like last weekend. So let's
Speaker 2: go with Jordan Alvarez. Guy's been hot. Let's get me
Speaker 2: back up on this board, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Mike Mayer is gonna take Mike Trout, so one
Speaker 1: mic to another there and again, if you want to
Speaker 1: make your home run call, get over and join our
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros discord channel at fantasypros dot com slash chat.

Speaker 1: This is no good.
Speaker 3: We can't have this last.
Speaker 1: We got to make sure we figure something out. Final
Speaker 1: thoughts bogs on today's before we head out.
Speaker 3: How about a d Backs win against the Dodgers. Let's
Speaker 3: go get it. Come on.
Speaker 2: I don't want to My buddy Jesse in here has been,
Speaker 2: you know, hammering me because he's a Dodgers fan.
Speaker 3: So let's go d Backs. Come on, get a win.
Speaker 1: There you go, the d Backs win. It's very rare.
Speaker 1: You don't see them very often. And I saw Oliver
Speaker 1: Perez designated for assignment yesterday, so peace out to Alip.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that guy was still in the league.
Speaker 1: I could, but he's like he's one old Bobby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he is the last guy older than me in
Speaker 2: the league. So d Backs win as rare as Joe's hair.
Speaker 1: Look at that on that note. That'll do it for us.
Speaker 1: But the story of the game goes on. For Scott Bogman,
Speaker 1: I'm Joey p We'll see you next time. Kids. The
