Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to leading off right here on Fantasy Bros. MLB.
Speaker 1: Of course party I bet three six five, bet five bucks,
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifty bonuspens. When you do, it's
Speaker 1: me Joey p Joe Piezapia, That of course is the Welsh,
Speaker 1: and it's you, the Peanuts and the cracker Jacks having
Speaker 1: a good old time before the show even starts. You're
Speaker 1: live in the chest. So if you're just bored at
Speaker 1: work or on your lunch break, or wherever you are
Speaker 1: and you want to talk some baseball, this is the
Speaker 1: place to do it because everybody right now is in
Speaker 1: this chat. It's live, it's great. In fact, we're gonna
Speaker 1: start things off here. We've got Paul Skeen's day happening
Speaker 1: right now, ke Skeens, Skeen's Keen Skeens, and here we
Speaker 1: go because somebody just traded Skeens, our friend South African
Speaker 1: g I traded Skeens for Marcus Simeon and Jordan Hicks,
Speaker 1: so I will cheer Skeens now on from afar. What
Speaker 1: do you think of this trade? Getting Marcus Simeon that's
Speaker 1: a really good piece and a picture. Although he has
Speaker 1: an expiration day, just like Skeens.
Speaker 2: Yeah. By the way, I'm like, literally, as we're going here,
Speaker 2: people are looking like, what is Welsh doing. I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: this game on a Thursday is starting in minutes. Maybe
Speaker 2: your boy Welsh wants to get a little bet in
Speaker 2: here and try to add to the funzies.
Speaker 1: On with the promo code leading off, just so you know.
Speaker 2: All the things I do, all of these things my friends.
Speaker 2: All right, so boom, we got the betting, all right,
Speaker 2: So what.
Speaker 1: Was the bet? You're not gonna tell us the bet?
Speaker 1: You're gonna do it? And I even tell.
Speaker 2: Us I'm gonna go nurfy, no run first inning. Paul
Speaker 2: Skins and Mason Black going today, so or actually Eric Miller,
Speaker 2: but we're gonna go with no runs scored in the
Speaker 2: first inning on that Pirates side. And unfortunately I have
Speaker 2: some other bets uh luis heal and the under innings
Speaker 2: pitched for Paul Skins today. But all of that aside,
Speaker 2: we're talking about Paul Skins trades. Yeah, those are the
Speaker 2: type of trades, Like I am here for those type
Speaker 2: of trades. That's the stuff I talk about. You know,
Speaker 2: the guy who trolled me, You should trade post schemes,
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, for Marcus Simeon, for Carbon Burns,
Speaker 2: for Matt Olson. Those are the trades you should do.
Speaker 2: You should absolutely do that. But we're always open to
Speaker 2: the possibility, of course, that Paul Skeins is just going
Speaker 2: to be great. All I'm very, very interested today to
Speaker 2: see what that pitch count is gonna end up looking like.
Speaker 2: I bet the under sixteen and a half recorded outs,
Speaker 2: because that, in theory, is him going five and two
Speaker 2: thirds of an inning. I think they're gonna temper him back,
Speaker 2: and I don't want to make too much about nothing,
Speaker 2: but I do think there's a possibility that if we
Speaker 2: see some hold back, this is gonna be a really
Speaker 2: good telling thing of how this team is gonna treat
Speaker 2: Skins moving forward. If they just let him go another
Speaker 2: one hundred pitches or whatever, they might just let the
Speaker 2: rains go the rest of the year. But if you see,
Speaker 2: like the Jared Jones thing, we're only gonna let him
Speaker 2: go five, We're only gonna let him go seventy five pitches,
Speaker 2: you're gonna understand the shackles that are kind of holding
Speaker 2: him back a little bit from that crazy potential because Joe.
Speaker 2: We also had a discussion that between the rankers here
Speaker 2: and Fantasy pros of where Skeins is. And we're all
Speaker 2: over the board between Kelly, between mayor between myself like me,
Speaker 2: and there are like ten sp spots off from schemes
Speaker 2: right now, and I'm the high one. And I'm still saying, yes,
Speaker 2: go get Marcus Simeon for skime.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one hundred percent. I think it's a I
Speaker 1: think it's a good trade. And you got a picture
Speaker 1: on top of it. That's that's great. Uh, let's get
Speaker 1: to the headlines. Because wan Soto had two more homers.
Speaker 1: Now I should have picked on me yesterday. I did not,
Speaker 1: but I did get a homer. Just say, by the way,
Speaker 1: I don't see Carlos in the chat. It's two days
Speaker 1: in a row. Carlos. It's just a joke, just because
Speaker 1: Welsh went full Connor record. Just put that art up.
Speaker 2: Put that art back up because I'm not on the
Speaker 2: master account of again. It is just a joke. But
Speaker 2: just to remind joke.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm just saying, we still want you back.
Speaker 1: It's here, somewhere. Where is it. I'm looking for it.
Speaker 1: I have it here. I think. I don't think I
Speaker 1: got rid of it yet when I get rid of
Speaker 1: it that quickly did it for me? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't did I delete.
Speaker 2: That very it's at the very top, remember it was
Speaker 2: that the very I didn't I.
Speaker 1: Teasing you what I did there? There it is. But Carlos,
Speaker 1: come back, hang out. You're still a peanut and a
Speaker 1: cracker Jacks. Just get you. I foonded. Just because Welsh
Speaker 1: fonded on you doesn't mean that you're not allowed here
Speaker 1: in the chat because and you.
Speaker 2: Were completely wrong. You can just come back and apologize.
Speaker 1: That's the problem is like if you're not here until
Speaker 1: next week or ever again, that's not a good look. Carlos.
Speaker 1: You gotta show up. Carlos. Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2: You know. What I was thinking about too yesterday is
Speaker 2: people would have I could imagine people being like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: well who would you have done this type of banter
Speaker 2: if fought got blew up blew up? No, absolutely not
Speaker 2: what you want to know why? Because I didn't go No,
Speaker 2: because I didn't go to Carlos's work and be like
Speaker 2: pretty fun, it's amazing. You should trade for him. You
Speaker 2: come in here and you trold me for no reason.
Speaker 2: That was all. We had a lot of fun. I
Speaker 2: will tell you I did watch that video quite a
Speaker 2: few times we put out there, and of all the stuff,
Speaker 2: I don't know where it came from my watcho man voice.
Speaker 1: It was improved. It was amazing, No, it was it
Speaker 1: was why Dan Soder level. Maybe it's a step below mine,
Speaker 1: but it was definitely improved step, definitely improve a category.
Speaker 1: Max Freed also is improving. Toss a complete game, two runs,
Speaker 1: one earned nine case for him for a solaire. Good
Speaker 1: day for him. Giants had a big comeback here victory
Speaker 1: of the Pirates yesterday, so Jared Jones unfortunately in the
Speaker 1: wrong side of that. He pitched well though, three runs,
Speaker 1: six hits, six innings, but again Brian Reynolds had the
Speaker 1: Grand Slam. It wasn't enough. At the end of the day.
Speaker 1: The bullpen gave it up. Speaking of bullpen's giving it up,
Speaker 1: m Met's bullpen re Garrett and it didn't look too
Speaker 1: good yesterday. No throw that out there.
Speaker 2: Well, some people, I'm not naming the people, but some
Speaker 2: people wanted you to maybe do an Edwin diaz gar.
Speaker 1: I did that. I did see that. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: do it. My job is to be right as often
Speaker 1: as I can be. That's just my job. I'm not
Speaker 1: quite as obnoxious as the Welsh most days. Most days
Speaker 1: I'm usually not like, no, you're not. You know what.
Speaker 1: You poked the bear. You got to get attack. That's
Speaker 1: what happened. Sometimes you just can't, can't keep picking some,
Speaker 1: especially when you can the whole team. Now, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros MLB is saying, Carlos did comment on yesterday's video.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that comment is.
Speaker 2: So Carlos did watch Wena screenshot.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. So I will get that.
Speaker 1: Mayo is gonna get it to me, so hopefully gets it.
Speaker 1: Jesus Wizardo. Eight strong innings. What a picture's douel. This
Speaker 1: was one nothing game here. Freddy Praulta was terrific seven
Speaker 1: case for him. You gave up one run and he
Speaker 1: lost me. That sucks, but still good star from Peralta
Speaker 1: against the Marlins, but better from Lozardo again, who's up
Speaker 1: and down all over the place. He's a tough one
Speaker 1: to gauge. If I'm in the Marlins, I'm calling teams
Speaker 1: right now. Take him right now before the bad star
Speaker 1: comes in.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what though, Okay, to that point, maybe
Speaker 2: I actually think this is that type of thing that
Speaker 2: you start thinking about. Okay, if you've got people that are,
Speaker 2: you know, really off the Lizardo train, this might be
Speaker 2: a good time to buy. Because the reason to like
Speaker 2: it is if he goes to a new destination, if
Speaker 2: you were to you know whoever Atlanta goes trades for him,
Speaker 2: that's a positive. These last couple starts have been positives.
Speaker 2: He has a three and a half expected era right now.
Speaker 2: His k's are down, but they're up since he's gotten
Speaker 2: back his walks in line. He's just giving up a
Speaker 2: little too much hard hit stuff. But I think it's
Speaker 2: gonna backtrack. So I actually think if you can buy
Speaker 2: him on the cheap cheap, it's not a bad idea.
Speaker 1: I'm the lo lo on the cheap cheap. Great job
Speaker 1: by Mike Mayer. It's the only good thing he's gonna
Speaker 1: do all year. He got me all of the comments
Speaker 1: from Carlos, and they're terrific. Carlos obviously was busy yesterday,
Speaker 1: couldn't make the show live, but he's like it's Welsh
Speaker 1: with a capitol w water performance by fod clapping hands emoji.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm happy Gilmour and your chubbs. Meanwhile, Joe
Speaker 1: is shooting McGavin. Also true, probably true, that is totally true.
Speaker 1: You know what I e for breakfast. I'm really sorry
Speaker 1: I missed this live, but I like how the show
Speaker 1: ended up. I'll be with you all tomorrow, so hopefully
Speaker 1: he's here at some point live. But all right, so Carlos,
Speaker 1: you're a good buddy. I know sometimes we actually, you know,
Speaker 1: lives and jobs and stuff going on. So good on
Speaker 1: your Carlos. You're back in the fold again. It's all good.
Speaker 1: This is what you do. You have some fun. We're
Speaker 1: having fun. Fantasy baseball is supposed to be fun, all right,
Speaker 1: Justin Steele was not fun. Maybe five runs, five strikeouts?
Speaker 1: Did you text me yesterday? What the hell was going on?
Speaker 1: Is he alreadys over five and a half? Welsh? I
Speaker 1: didn't just I.
Speaker 2: Mean, yeah, I'd point out this is like a little aside.
Speaker 2: Ever since he decided to do the podcast, not with me,
Speaker 2: but go do it with Marty Mush, results haven't been
Speaker 2: that great, So just kind of pointing it out there.
Speaker 2: But no, I'm not gonna text him when things are
Speaker 2: going bad.
Speaker 1: So Mayor taking it a step further. So this is
Speaker 1: the only other thing he'll do all year that's gonna
Speaker 1: be useful. Posted the comments in the discord for everyone
Speaker 1: to see from Carlos, good job Mayor, good job Carlos,
Speaker 1: Good job Ethan Tyler. Everybody put that little thing together
Speaker 1: yesterday on social media too. We're having a good time.
Speaker 1: It's a good time.
Speaker 2: We are having a good time. And you know, and
Speaker 2: the funnest part about it. Funnest not a word is
Speaker 2: by the way. People don't know if if you've looked
Speaker 2: on the social media the petty stuff. That was my
Speaker 2: idea because like I can, I'm totally petty with it,
Speaker 2: but that we had a team willing to rally around
Speaker 2: my pettiness. It's incredible. And I got people making art
Speaker 2: for me. I got people cutting up videos for social
Speaker 2: forming all just to be petty.
Speaker 1: It's a lot.
Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Now, speaking of a lot some fun things. So Welsh
Speaker 1: also was out on the streets yesterday of Arizona watching
Speaker 1: some Complex League baseball seeing Louise Robert. You know what
Speaker 1: was excited about this? This guy?
Speaker 3: Oh boy, I want to see all the clips there
Speaker 3: from Louise Robert hitting the home runs. That sure would
Speaker 3: be great, that'd be fantastic. Let's see this so let's uh,
Speaker 3: let's get a look at it here. So here's from
Speaker 3: Welsh's ig account, from his x account and can follow it.
Speaker 3: Is it the Welsh from Twitter?
Speaker 2: At is it the yet complex? We can hear the
Speaker 2: bat too, which is nice. So let's go, yeah you will,
Speaker 2: so all right, can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Speaker 1: I can? Or you but there's no video play a right,
Speaker 1: so play the video.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna play it here in just a second.
Speaker 2: I'm just setting the thing up. So Luis Robert first
Speaker 2: game back from the injury, he's getting set to go.
Speaker 2: He's in complex ball. This is the second pitch that
Speaker 2: he's seen. This poor kid throws one high fastball up,
Speaker 2: doesn't swing. This is the second pitch and goodbye.
Speaker 1: Who sounds good, looks healthy, looks strong.
Speaker 2: And listen to the kids. They are so excited, these
Speaker 2: kids that he just hit a homer and they all
Speaker 2: rally around him at the end when he comes back
Speaker 2: up and it doesn't quite you know, live up. When
Speaker 2: you hear the sound like on the video. But the
Speaker 2: entire team is right here. If you're watching on the
Speaker 2: video side, look at the entire team is up here,
Speaker 2: ready to give high fives. Just boom, boom, boom. They
Speaker 2: just got to Luis Robert and guess what, Luis Robert,
Speaker 2: he's back.
Speaker 1: He is back. Unfortunately, though, look where this ball landed.
Speaker 1: Oh geez, oh no, that's not what you want to
Speaker 1: have happened this poor girl. She's had the worst luck.
Speaker 1: Liz Maguire's having the worst luck. All right, let's move
Speaker 1: on to more fun things. Corey Seger that was fun.
Speaker 1: Two for three with a homer. So's still on the
Speaker 1: board there, Luisa Rise, first time under twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Look at you, Look at what you did, Louis so
Speaker 1: proud of you. Alex Bregman zero for four as the
Speaker 1: cleanup hitter, so he is now hitless in this series
Speaker 1: against the Angels. Just wanted to throw that out there
Speaker 1: because that's fun. That hurts me. Alex Bregman is uh
Speaker 1: is my kryptonite this year. Really, he's really putting the
Speaker 1: squeeze on me. I gotta say. George Springer also putting
Speaker 1: the squeeze on everybody who rosters him. He was out
Speaker 1: of the lineup yesterday after going hitless in the last
Speaker 1: two games. He's down to one ninety four, two seventy
Speaker 1: six eighty five. What has happened to George Springer? Welsh like,
Speaker 1: you could have been out on George Springer, but this
Speaker 1: is kind of absurd at this point, almost two months
Speaker 1: into the season.
Speaker 2: So I actually was. I just did a show the
Speaker 2: other day we were talking about this. I'm not like
Speaker 2: completely out, and that was the discussion, is like, when
Speaker 2: do you cut dait on a guy like George Springer.
Speaker 2: That's actually what sparks some of our conversation yesterday on
Speaker 2: getting rid of potentially Evan Carter. I'd get rid of
Speaker 2: Carter before I got rid of Springer, because there are
Speaker 2: still some of those underlying things. Last year, you also
Speaker 2: saw the struggles from Springer in April and then he
Speaker 2: picked it up in May. This is extending a little
Speaker 2: bit more so. I guess the question could end up
Speaker 2: being like, all right, is this age is this finally
Speaker 2: falling back or is this part of this entire team
Speaker 2: context of struggles. I think plenty of the underlying things
Speaker 2: are still there. He's still stealing bases at a pretty
Speaker 2: hard clip. So here's my thesis to it. I'm gonna hold.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold for a couple more weeks, preferably get
Speaker 2: him on the bench if he is really killing you.
Speaker 2: But I don't want to get rid of him yet
Speaker 2: because those stolen based numbers look great and I think
Speaker 2: some of the underlying stuff is still supporting him if
Speaker 2: that turnaround ends up.
Speaker 1: By the way, Mayor trolling you in the chat here
Speaker 1: shake my head Welsh making us listen to children laughing.
Speaker 1: You know may has more than one kid. I can't imagine,
Speaker 1: Like his kid's probably like, look at me, Dad, I'm walking.
Speaker 1: He's like whatever.
Speaker 2: The sound of the sound of children laughing is like
Speaker 2: nails on a dockboard to Mayor, can you imagine?
Speaker 1: Must be tough to be Mike Mayer's happiness. Oh dad,
Speaker 1: look at me. I can spell car? Yeah, way can
Speaker 1: you pay for one?
Speaker 2: You know how people like at night face kid at
Speaker 2: night will listen to like, you know, the sounds of
Speaker 2: the ocean and stuff like that. Like Mayor's definitely the
Speaker 2: type of guy that's listening to like trash compactors just
Speaker 2: destroying cars and stuff like that, and explosions and putting
Speaker 2: on Oppenheimer in the background. That's the type of movie.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, all right, let's get to
Speaker 1: some rookie business here, the Diamondbacks, option Slate, Chaconi, the
Speaker 1: Triple A Reno all But luckily we have some other
Speaker 1: guys to talk about, because it's time for everybody's favorite segment.
Speaker 1: It's time for a prospect with the Welsh. That's right,
Speaker 1: Chris Welsh is gonna look down on the farm to
Speaker 1: see what prospects we need to update on. Last week.
Speaker 1: Obviously we had some deep dive. There are some Double
Speaker 1: A guys come out the Triple A, some old names,
Speaker 1: some new names, some old friends, some new friends. So Welsh,
Speaker 1: let's start prospecting.
Speaker 2: Let's start prospecting. So today's prospecting is not so stash
Speaker 2: ish as much as it is a report bringing back
Speaker 2: to you the big names, because we completely moved away
Speaker 2: from it last week and we didn't talk about any
Speaker 2: of those guys. So this is going to bring back
Speaker 2: the forefront of some of the things that you need
Speaker 2: to know on the biggest prospects that have been on
Speaker 2: people's minds. So number one, I tried to get art
Speaker 2: made today. We couldn't get it done free, James Wood.
Speaker 2: I don't play this free. This guy game a whole bunch,
Speaker 2: but I am playing it with James Wood, Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: James Wood is batting three point eighty five in Triple
Speaker 2: A three eighty five, with nine homers and ten stolen bases.
Speaker 2: He has a thirty four to thirty seven walk to
Speaker 2: strikeout ratio. He has homered in back to back games
Speaker 2: in TRIPA A and has seven homers in the month
Speaker 2: of May. But Welsh, maybe he has some bad splits well.
Speaker 2: The lefty hits three seventy against righty's and three sixteen
Speaker 2: against lefties. Joe, I've got a game for you. Are
Speaker 2: you ready?
Speaker 1: I'm ready. I like games point.
Speaker 2: Zero eight, seven point one point eight, zero point one eight,
Speaker 2: four point two two six and point two seven five.
Speaker 2: Do you know what those numbers are?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you just sunk my battleship. That
Speaker 1: was really good.
Speaker 2: Those are the batting averages of the outfielders in Washington.
Speaker 2: Remind you, four of those five numbers were under two
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Those are the batting averages of the outfielders
Speaker 2: in Washington. How about one more for you. Fourteen. That's
Speaker 2: the combined number of homers from all of those outfielders,
Speaker 2: and James Wood has nine in there. Big, huge hard
Speaker 2: hit numbers, great ratios as far as splits go, great
Speaker 2: batting average, not striking out doing it all, he's stealing bases,
Speaker 2: and he almost has as many homers as the entire
Speaker 2: Major League Nationals outfield combined. Free James would. Now that's
Speaker 2: people in the chat asking what do we think about
Speaker 2: James Wood? He has got to be number one, and
Speaker 2: it has to be soon.
Speaker 1: He's still available in like forty plus percent of leagues,
Speaker 1: which is stunning to me.
Speaker 2: Still all right, Yeah, there are two more updates on
Speaker 2: the other two big names that people are talking about.
Speaker 2: Junior Cameronaro. What's been up with Junior Camonaro? He's played
Speaker 2: three games at second base. Correlation is not causation necessarily
Speaker 2: in this case, but over his last three games, hitless,
Speaker 2: zero for twelve. His batting average is now dropped down
Speaker 2: to two seventy. But there's still good counting stats. Brandon
Speaker 2: Lao was activated, but since he was activated, zero zero
Speaker 2: is the number of hits that he has, So I
Speaker 2: could play that game again. But there has been some
Speaker 2: struggle in it is it was it causation, correlation?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wrote it down because it was brilliant. Again,
Speaker 1: it's a well, it's going in the book. It's going
Speaker 1: in the Big Book of Welshisms. That's what this is.
Speaker 2: I think it's really the court.
Speaker 1: We should publish this on Amazon at some point.
Speaker 2: The correlation of him hitting second base isn't necessarily the struggle,
Speaker 2: but learning new a new position defensively might have his
Speaker 2: mind somewhere else because he's been struggling offensively, so with
Speaker 2: low back and some of the struggles over the last
Speaker 2: couple of games. I don't know if it's imminent. My
Speaker 2: guess was May twenty fourth. That ain't happening. But Camonaro
Speaker 2: is holding tight number three on this Listrovis Martinez, Oh,
Speaker 2: everybody loved Martinez. It was a love fest well over
Speaker 2: last four or this is a great stat that I
Speaker 2: had for you. Four games in April he did not
Speaker 2: have a hit. You remember that, Joe, when we talked
Speaker 2: about that sort of Yes, he was amazing everyone. All
Speaker 2: the people that don't pay attention to prospects, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: we need Erovis Martinez. He had four games where he
Speaker 2: didn't have a hit in April. That's amazing. Well, in
Speaker 2: May six games, he has a hit in only six games.
Speaker 2: On May first, Erolvis was hitting three ten. He is
Speaker 2: now hitting two forty three after hitting one fifty four
Speaker 2: in May. Overall, so the positive news is he's got
Speaker 2: four homers and we've not seen a dramatic spike in
Speaker 2: his k percentage. But again, those people that really never
Speaker 2: have watched Row of Us before and we're only looking
Speaker 2: at stats and stuff like that, it's a rude awakening
Speaker 2: because it ain't working. As mentioned earlier in the year,
Speaker 2: he had never hit two seventy five over two seventy five.
Speaker 2: This is something I had said in the last two
Speaker 2: years he'd hit under two forty four or worse. So
Speaker 2: his current average, by the way, his two forty three.
Speaker 2: He's got eleven homers, zero stolen bases. Tevius Martinez excitement
Speaker 2: and joy was a little premature, and he might not
Speaker 2: be coming anytime soon. I've got one more and then
Speaker 2: a couple quick little fun notes. This is one that
Speaker 2: you actually can stash potentially, and I would Kate Povich
Speaker 2: John means elbow is not good. The Orioles. They're waiting
Speaker 2: on the results, and if it's bad, Povich, you are
Speaker 2: the starter. That's right. Over nine.
Speaker 1: Sorry, that was worth the wait, that was worth the build.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Over nine starts in Triple A, he's got
Speaker 2: a two point zero eight ERA, sixty five strikeouts over
Speaker 2: forty seven innings pitch. He does not have an overpowering fastball.
Speaker 2: He touched like ninety three in his last start. Sits
Speaker 2: around ninety one and a half, but the deception led
Speaker 2: that fastball to have a forty five percent with rate
Speaker 2: in his last start. Fastball, change up, cutter, curveball guy.
Speaker 2: And he's held batters to under a two hundred batting average.
Speaker 2: Here's another fun fact on him, or a fun fact.
Speaker 2: He's third in baseball in strikeouts, behind his teammate Chance McCormick.
Speaker 2: And he is the lowest ERA among starters in Triple A.
Speaker 2: If means is out, they may be going to Kate Povich.
Speaker 2: So that would be a guy I would stash Joey.
Speaker 2: The last two things. I've got two prospect fun facts
Speaker 2: for you going on in the miners right now? Are
Speaker 2: you ready?
Speaker 1: I'm ready? Let's do it.
Speaker 2: Your minor league home run leader Davison Dalas Santos, who's
Speaker 2: twenty one years old with fourteen homers. By the way,
Speaker 2: that's as many homers as the entire Nationals outfield. Fourteen homers.
Speaker 2: He's twenty one years old. He has thirty seven RBI
Speaker 2: in thirty eight games. He's hitting three seventy two with
Speaker 2: a twenty two percent k percentage. He's played two games
Speaker 2: at Triple A since being moved up. He already has
Speaker 2: a couple more hits. The fun part about it all,
Speaker 2: this is the guy that was Rule five from the
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks to the Guardians, then the Guardians let him go
Speaker 2: and return him to the Diamondbacks. He is the minor
Speaker 2: league leader in homers and then the second. Maybe pay
Speaker 2: attention to this guy, twins Zebi Matthews, who's a starting pitcher.
Speaker 2: He's a twenty four year old pitcher who started at
Speaker 2: High A. He's now in Double A. He's got a
Speaker 2: one point three to four ERA with a point six
Speaker 2: whip across forty innings. Here's the fun. He has fifty
Speaker 2: one strikeouts of this year to one walk. He struck
Speaker 2: out forty nine batters before he issued his first walk.
Speaker 2: Maybe we see some zebby at some point in this year.
Speaker 2: That is my prospect report, stash, whatever you want to
Speaker 2: call it for this week.
Speaker 1: All right, well shere you have the close up shop
Speaker 1: because once again we are in the danger zone or
Speaker 1: in the no fly zone again where my stream yard
Speaker 1: is frozen.
Speaker 2: And oh no, I'm not on the main account.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you, folks. Let's just
Speaker 1: keep going. We're just gonna keep going. That's been prospecting
Speaker 1: with the Welsh. Make sure you follow Welsh on the
Speaker 1: x at is at the Welsh and of course check
Speaker 1: out all his amazing work at fancybros dot com. Let's
Speaker 1: get to some more news and notes here. Off to
Speaker 1: work it off my phone here because I'm a true
Speaker 1: professional and people are saying in the chat I saw
Speaker 1: you before. What do we have to do to get
Speaker 1: Joe to be here in September? Well you have to
Speaker 1: talk to my psychiatrist because I can't possibly continue to
Speaker 1: do all those things at the same time.
Speaker 2: Sign up for a lot of premium accounts on basis.
Speaker 1: Hey, look, we had a million views so far this year.
Speaker 1: That's pretty astounding and it's only May. It's back. We're
Speaker 1: rocking and rolling let's go all right now. I don't
Speaker 1: know how long it's gonna last, but again, this is
Speaker 1: it's in and out, folks, just like my sanity. That's uh,
Speaker 1: that's kind of where we are. I don't know why
Speaker 1: between the discord thing yesterday Welsh it's maybe, but between
Speaker 1: discord yesterday on cleaning up and between all the stuff
Speaker 1: right now that we're trying to get done and then
Speaker 1: this is this should be easy stuff. It's very frustrating.
Speaker 1: I don't know why my technology is all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: out of nowhere, just deciding to quit on me. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to things that we're not gonna quit on
Speaker 1: the up and the down. The three up, Elias Ds
Speaker 1: three for five with a two run homer, Bobaschett two
Speaker 1: before with a homer, and Cole Reagan's twelve strikeouts for him.
Speaker 1: What'd you make of that performance by Cole Reagan's yesterday
Speaker 1: against the Tigers.
Speaker 2: Cole Reagan's was on a thing. I think he had
Speaker 2: like four innings, no hit and then he ended up big,
Speaker 2: big strikeout numbers. Hat tip and shout out to my
Speaker 2: boy Dennis Sidler, who had a signing with Cole Reagan's.
Speaker 2: I had this awesome Cole Reagan thing I'm excited to
Speaker 2: show everybody. But that was good because that was a
Speaker 2: very Treek schoobl game, Like everybody was very very hyper
Speaker 2: focused on Treek Schooble and how he had been Reagan's
Speaker 2: had been a little shaky here and their huge, huge performance,
Speaker 2: great buying opportunities over the last couple weeks with some
Speaker 2: of those struggles.
Speaker 1: Also, the three down to reach Scouoble not the best
Speaker 1: start for him. I mean it's not really a down,
Speaker 1: but you know, five innings, four runs, that's not what
Speaker 1: you're looking for for Schooble. Nick Nastrini nine runs and
Speaker 1: three and a third, So thanks for coming here, Nick,
Speaker 1: Bryce Miller five earned and five hits, three homers. Bryce
Speaker 1: Miller gave up against the Yankees, So it was not
Speaker 1: a good day. Two of those two one so doo.
Speaker 1: Bad news on the injury for as always, Andander Bogarts
Speaker 1: is going to miss significant time here. Put him on
Speaker 1: the Ayah with a fractured shoulder. He could miss up
Speaker 1: to two months. Welsh, your thoughts absolutely brutal.
Speaker 2: What's even crazier about the whole thing is like that's
Speaker 2: one of those things where you could I don't know
Speaker 2: if they want to kill it or mess with it,
Speaker 2: but if Jackson Merrill is of the future to play
Speaker 2: in the infield, this would be an opportunity for them
Speaker 2: to bring Jackson Merrill back in play some second base.
Speaker 2: But then you would need some more outfield help. And
Speaker 2: this team just traded away Jacoby or Jacob Marcy. He's
Speaker 2: out there's they didn't decide to sign Tommy Fams, so
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure what the in game is going
Speaker 2: to be. I mean, you do have I mean, here's
Speaker 2: the fix, Luisa Rise. I guess fixes that of course,
Speaker 2: because he can play second base. Keep cronal Worth at first,
Speaker 2: that's probably what they end up doing. But you're gonna
Speaker 2: see more arise in the in the infield. Brutal, brutal
Speaker 2: blow for Xander Bogart's He was also clearly one of
Speaker 2: those dudes like I would trying to buy early in
Speaker 2: the season. It's wrong. You can cut because it's also
Speaker 2: been a slow year, so you can.
Speaker 1: Move off, all right. Merril Kelly scheduled to undergo a
Speaker 1: follow up MRI exam on his shoulder. We have Kevin
Speaker 1: Cash telling us that Josh Lowe is get undergo an MRI.
Speaker 1: He has an injured side, so that means oblique, which
Speaker 1: means seeing you in a month. Maybe Eloya Mene is
Speaker 1: on the aisle again, this time with another ham.
Speaker 2: Is that Joe? Oh no, oh no, I'm back. Puppet
Speaker 2: joke is back.
Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna go eventually. I knew. I
Speaker 1: knew it. No, you don't get puffet jo to more
Speaker 1: puppet Joe. I thought it was me, but it was you.
Speaker 2: The whole time you're actating.
Speaker 1: I was waiting for it to completely crap out. I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe that you could even hear me the way
Speaker 1: it was.
Speaker 2: Well, you had frozen and I could hear you talking great,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh crap, I think it's me. And
Speaker 2: then when it went away, I said, oh no, I
Speaker 2: think And then when your video went out, done done Dune,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: How so I don't know that's going on. I don't
Speaker 1: know there's like stuff in the area. Whatever it is.
Speaker 1: It's annoying, and it only happens at this time of day.
Speaker 1: Every single I do, all the other shows, all the
Speaker 1: other videos, this is the only time of day where
Speaker 1: it happens. Of course, the only time over live do
Speaker 1: we talk about Eloya Menez. Did you hear me talk
Speaker 1: about him?
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was Lloy A. Menez is on the IL in
Speaker 1: case you didn't know that with a hamstring issue. Your
Speaker 1: thoughts on Aloya Menez? Is this just done? Are we
Speaker 1: just completely done with him for now? Like I was
Speaker 1: giving him a bete for the doubt this year because
Speaker 1: going into the season we said, Lucky so cheap, why
Speaker 1: not take a flyer? I mean so, and I supported it,
Speaker 1: But now I'm just I think it's just forever done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's in Luckston territory. That's where he is.
Speaker 2: No dude, no, no, no, no. Eloy is his own beast.
Speaker 2: The guy's like, what twenty six and he has I
Speaker 2: don't know, forty five different Ielston or pulled from games.
Speaker 2: I mean the complex, you know, rehabbing White Sox is
Speaker 2: gonna be the greatest team you've ever seen. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be Annually, It's gonna be Mancata and Eloy and Robert.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't. From a dynasty perspective, Eloy is an absolute
Speaker 2: disaster because you also see the great play that happens
Speaker 2: from him. But yeah, this is a this is this
Speaker 2: is a reconfirmation of that guy needs to be rebuilt.
Speaker 2: We need antimanium put into his body or something because
Speaker 2: this ain't working.
Speaker 1: Austin Riley is also not working. But he hit off
Speaker 1: a tee yesterday, so there you go. So in addition
Speaker 1: to many kindergarteners also Austin Riley hit off a tea yesterday.
Speaker 1: Ryan Peppio allowed three runs over his four innings in
Speaker 1: return to the raised rotation, John means, as you mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: no bueno the start against the Cardinals after three innings
Speaker 1: due to elbow discomfort. Garrett Whitlock. We'll meet with also
Speaker 1: the doctor to get a second opinion on his stuff.
Speaker 1: So there you doctor, the doctor to get his second opinion,
Speaker 1: because now the guy are doing the work in the
Speaker 1: house or locked out. I told them I'm not available
Speaker 1: till after one o'clock and that's.
Speaker 2: Why they're cutting your internet.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they're cutting it off there. But Welsh, let's
Speaker 1: get through this show. We can do it. I believe
Speaker 1: in us. It's time for the best Bets of the
Speaker 1: day with Joey p and the Welsh make sure, you
Speaker 1: go ahead and make your bets over on bet three
Speaker 1: six five Bet five. Bets that buy bet five bucks
Speaker 1: get one hundred and fifty in bonus bets. I am
Speaker 1: coming apart at the seams, Welsh. Use that promo code
Speaker 1: leading off when you make your wagers at bet three
Speaker 1: six five again, that's bet three six five promo code
Speaker 1: leading off Welsh. Let's get after it. Let's do this here.
Speaker 1: I'm going to start here again. It's the Light's Latest Thursday.
Speaker 1: But we had a couple things we're honing in on.
Speaker 1: The first for me Toronto and the money line against
Speaker 1: Detroit minus one ten Baltimore minus two and a half
Speaker 1: right now on the run line plus one oweight Grayson
Speaker 1: Rodriguez on the mount against the lowly White Sox. I
Speaker 1: like this one a lot. This might be my favorite
Speaker 1: bet of the day, and you're getting plus money. I
Speaker 1: had to move up to the alternate line too in
Speaker 1: some places to get that. Gunner Henderson total bases over
Speaker 1: one and a half minus one twenty five. Again, I
Speaker 1: think that's a great opportunity here. Clevenger on the mound
Speaker 1: for the White Sox. White Sox are not good, Orioles
Speaker 1: are give me Grayson to kind of beat up on
Speaker 1: the White Sox today and same game Parlay Orioles minus
Speaker 1: two and a half on the alternate run line, Grayson
Speaker 1: Rodriguez over six and a half strikeouts. You put those
Speaker 1: two things together in the SGP and you get plus
Speaker 1: two six seven Welsh, what do you have for the people?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a big stupid idiot, and what was the
Speaker 2: first thing I said at the top of the show.
Speaker 2: I'm like, ooh, nurfhy for the pirates. Boom, that's gone.
Speaker 2: So that's how we start the day. But I did
Speaker 2: have two other bets that don't count for this. I
Speaker 2: went the schemes, the under recorded outs and Luis Giel who,
Speaker 2: by the way, three strikeouts, no hits with the first
Speaker 2: two winnings. Boy has that been muh So all of
Speaker 2: that to be said, I'm giving you one bet on
Speaker 2: this show today, and I was a little inspired by
Speaker 2: a conversation we had earlier this week, because technically this
Speaker 2: is going to be three bets because we are climbing
Speaker 2: the ladder. I am ladder betting today, Joey. I'm taking
Speaker 2: some risky risks here. I am ladder betting, Jack Flarity
Speaker 2: on his strikeouts. I have been an anti Flarity guy,
Speaker 2: but it is hard to deny how good he has
Speaker 2: been this season. Also, the matchup is kind of tough.
Speaker 2: So here is the play for me. I'm going six,
Speaker 2: seven and eight strikeouts. Six. That's the money play, well,
Speaker 2: the anti money play, because there's a bunch of juice
Speaker 2: minus one forty five, but I am assuming that's the lock.
Speaker 2: I'm then going to seven strikeouts at plus one forty five,
Speaker 2: and I'm taking it to eight strikeouts, which is plus
Speaker 2: two point eighty. Blue Jays are lower strikeout team, but
Speaker 2: they are worse against righty So I went and looked
Speaker 2: this up. Six times this year the Blue Jays have
Speaker 2: had a starter strikeout eight or more against them. Five
Speaker 2: of those six right handed pitchers, one was col Reagan's.
Speaker 2: Ten times this year a starter has had six or
Speaker 2: more strikeouts against them nine of those ten righties. Four
Speaker 2: of the last nine starts this year. Four of his
Speaker 2: nine starts, Flarity has struck out eight or more. The
Speaker 2: last start he had nine strikeouts, which was against the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 2: who were kind of a similar strikeout ish team. So
Speaker 2: if Flarity is for real, these strikeouts should be obtainable
Speaker 2: for the day. I'm ladder betting it. How I later bet,
Speaker 2: I do my full unit play on the minus money,
Speaker 2: and then I just the better way to do it
Speaker 2: is lower your unit rates as you go up. I
Speaker 2: kind of didn't got to make up also for that nurfy.
Speaker 2: So I'm ladder betting Jack Flerty, God help me and
Speaker 2: God help.
Speaker 1: Us all that. I gotta say something I did not
Speaker 1: see coming today, and Ray asked, do you update or
Speaker 1: post your betting history? Yes, you can follow Welsh and
Speaker 1: myself for better or worse over on betting pros dot
Speaker 1: com slash Joe slash Welsh is all up there, the good,
Speaker 1: the bad, and the ugly. It's been a lot of
Speaker 1: ugly lately. MLB betting has been a rough so far.
Speaker 1: My futures BET's still very much alive in a lot
Speaker 1: of places, which is good. And my NFL betting right
Speaker 1: now on their last couple of years.
Speaker 2: It's the ups and downs to baseball is really tough.
Speaker 2: Like I went three and oh yesterday it.
Speaker 1: Was excuses, Hey man, no excuses. You were good yesterday.
Speaker 1: I was bad yesterday.
Speaker 2: My ROI on the weekend is down right now. So Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's exactly right. It's a rough patch into that like
Speaker 2: may Ish area of baseball. But you got to keep
Speaker 2: at it, and you got to find your different angles.
Speaker 1: And you got to use the betting pros app start
Speaker 1: betting smarter, not harder. That's what you want to do.
Speaker 1: So if you're doing all those things correctly, make sure
Speaker 1: you're again placing your wagers over at bet three six
Speaker 1: five right now with the promo code leading off again.
Speaker 1: Seventeen or over in Kentucky gambling problem, actually eighteen or
Speaker 1: over seventeen you're still in high school. Eighteen or over
Speaker 1: in Kentucky gambling problem called one one hundred gambler or
Speaker 1: one hundred bets off. In Iowa, terms and conditions apply.
Speaker 1: That will do it for Thursdays Bets Bets of the
Speaker 1: Day with Joey P and the Welsh. I gotta say,
Speaker 1: I am struggle bus right now, Welsh, I have I've
Speaker 1: had too many balls in the air like technical things.
Speaker 1: I think I finally have. I'm finally cracking up. I
Speaker 1: think it's we waited this long, we finally got it.
Speaker 1: And Mike Maher has his this is his joy, this
Speaker 1: is what he wanted. Let's get to me. You know,
Speaker 1: it'll get me back on track. The home run.
Speaker 2: Board, oh my god, it is greatest of all time
Speaker 2: for you, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Seventeen right up there. PASSI so like my bets have
Speaker 1: been crap, but that's all right. Home run calls have
Speaker 1: been solid. If you keep you know what I will,
Speaker 1: you're doing well. I wish I bet him every day,
Speaker 1: that's right there, Joe. I know why I'm not doing it.
Speaker 2: I wish we could have seen. And now it's tough
Speaker 2: because how many games that we had this year and
Speaker 2: you only have seventeen homers. But you know, you know
Speaker 2: what the roy the plus money is on it. How
Speaker 2: do you bet every single home run call this year?
Speaker 2: I bet you would have some pretty crazy returns and
Speaker 2: we can't.
Speaker 1: And you know what, that's that's dumb on my part.
Speaker 1: I should be logging those as well. Now I've bet
Speaker 1: them privately a few times, but I tend not to
Speaker 1: put those on there because they are such dark throat
Speaker 1: hard home runs are tough, Let's be honest, But I play.
Speaker 1: I played total, I've got seventeen, so what there's been
Speaker 1: how many games in baseball we get to we ad
Speaker 1: the fifty mark right now, right where are we? Sixties
Speaker 1: make up a number, I'll say, yes, yeah, No, how
Speaker 1: many games in the Major league season have we have?
Speaker 2: I have no idea. Let's call it like forty something.
Speaker 1: No, it's more than that. It's more than that.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'm scared to do anything on my
Speaker 2: MLB standings.
Speaker 1: I know I'm scared to hold my hand.
Speaker 2: It'll be scared fifty by Cleveland.
Speaker 1: So just about so, I've called a home run at
Speaker 1: least or I've gotten home runs seventeen times. That's a
Speaker 1: pretty good.
Speaker 2: Only problem is you had a couple that were dual.
Speaker 1: I did Harper, Alvarez and Soto.
Speaker 2: I got some multiple But if you figure you're getting
Speaker 2: at least three to one on your money on homer's,
Speaker 2: which you usually do, yeah, no, I'm saying the average,
Speaker 2: like the low is three, and you're getting four to five.
Speaker 2: I would bet you it's somewhere between a five and
Speaker 2: ten unit, like a positive, a net positive for you
Speaker 2: if you had bet every single homer. I don't do that.
Speaker 2: I tend to play. I actually never bet homers. I'll
Speaker 2: bet total bases over on my home run guys, But
Speaker 2: you get less juice and stuff like you. You've been amazing.
Speaker 2: I'm a big old stinky People.
Speaker 1: Want puppet Joe shirts. This is getting out of control.
Speaker 1: But I we told you if we get to twenty
Speaker 1: five thousand subscribers, we will just replace us with puppets.
Speaker 1: We're gonna buy the puppets. We're gonna make puppet versions
Speaker 1: of ourselves and do the whole show that way. I
Speaker 1: am thinking about Jim Henson's style.
Speaker 2: I might make a sock puppet Joe version of it,
Speaker 2: but maybe I feel like I need to.
Speaker 1: Be cross for the weekend. That's good, that's fun, all right.
Speaker 1: I'm picking Gunner Henderson for my home run call tonight.
Speaker 1: I saw somebody else in the chat was doing that
Speaker 1: as well, So yes, we're rolling together. Welsh, where are
Speaker 1: you going for your home run call tonight? Know the wheel?
Speaker 1: But again work got in the way for Welsh again.
Speaker 1: But what do you got for the people? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sorry, prospect day tomorrow. I will if we do not
Speaker 2: get the Homer today, one fun Friday. We are wheeling
Speaker 2: it on Friday, and if Carlos shows up, I'll let
Speaker 2: him pick it. Maybe you'll let him get.
Speaker 1: You a little cheese bow pick fred Dinger says, Puppet
Speaker 1: Joe was added to the home run call sheet, so
Speaker 1: there you go.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we should do that. I'm gonna go with Bellinger.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Belly today. There's a good
Speaker 2: home run per nine matchup that he's got. So give
Speaker 2: me a Cody Bellinger on the home run call. Give
Speaker 2: me on the damn board, please, there.
Speaker 1: You go on the damn board. All right, that'll do
Speaker 1: it for us, But the story of the game goes
Speaker 1: on for the Welsh. I'm Joey p. We'll see you
Speaker 1: next time. Kids.
Speaker 2: Enjoy your day baseball. Bye, everybody.
