It's 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.240 me Joey p. That's the Welsh, and it's you, the 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:01.920 Peanuts and the cracker Jacks, the special attraction here on 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.080 the show Welsh. No matter how tired I might be 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.200 on a Monday, there's something about that peppy little tune. 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.600 But a little kickstart in my step, that's what it does. 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:12.000 I do. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.760 Like you can tell the people that maybe haven't been 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.040 around for a couple of days in the chat when 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.240 you played it, and they're like, what is going mister 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.720 Busker obviously has not been around for a little bit, 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.760 so I like every time it seems to surprise a 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:26.520 person or two. 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.720 It is great. It's our theme song for the year 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.319 and we will have something new next year. Is what 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:36.000 we always do here around these pickers. But yeah, a 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:40.160 lot to get to, some sticky situations and also some good, 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.160 the bad, and the ugly, some injury issues. I think 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.640 we got to talk about the Dodgers too, and I 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.480 don't know. I mean, you know, they can keep winning 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.000 games right now, but I'm looking at that long term 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.000 rotation and some of the other injuries, and I'm getting 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.440 a little worried about the Dodgers. Welsh. But let's start 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.480 instead with the headlines of something good, something that we 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.320 kept saying was do to happen, and it finally now 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:03.800 it was against the Oaklays, but still, fourteen strikeouts is 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:08.359 fourteen strikeouts, Welsh. Pablo Lopez had himself a banger, eight 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.280 shutout innings against the A's. This is what we've been 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.840 waiting for. We finally got it, Welsh. This was great 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.320 to see. The xcra's always been so much better all 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.200 year than the era he kept having these bad starts, 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.200 bad luck, all these bad, bad bad It was nothing 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.200 but good yesterday for Pablo. Oh. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:28.600 Yes, he has been the number one bye bye bye, 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.480 and so many people online because it's like we're not 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.680 the only ones talking about it. Plenty of people I see, 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.120 you know, towers in them and CBS just getting annihilated 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.400 by talking about it. Like multiple of us are looking 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.520 because when you look at the outlying metrics, there was 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.800 so much that was telling us this is not gonna last. 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:50.120 Plus not walking guys, the k's are still there and this, 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:52.840 like you said, this is an a situation. So what 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.840 do I always say, what does that mean in real 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.840 baseball terms? You know, striking out fourteen against the A's 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.640 it's like striking out like nine against the Brewers, and 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:05.480 it's still really great. In this start fastball, Velo was 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.480 up almost a mile per hour on the year, so 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.519 he was a little bit jacked up there. He had 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.600 ten whiffs on the fastball alone, nineteen total for a 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:17.000 thirty five percent with rate. He had a thirty one 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:21.320 percent CSW so called strikes with whiffs. He looked great, 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.440 and I think you're gonna you're gonna be able to 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.799 take this run. This confident start and carry it over 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.160 to Like I said, a guy that had a two 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.800 run differential between he's expected in his actual era, and 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.040 a lot of other things that told us this great story. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.880 The buying opportunity has now officially altered. It has changed. 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:43.280 He still has a five VRA and he has a 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:47.720 three two five expected era, but the the what the 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:50.200 buy looks like now is a much different situation. Because 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.720 he struck out fourteen, you can still do it. I 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.200 love it because I'm a Pablo fan. 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.880 Yes, as am. I so good to see him get 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.320 back on track. How about Louis Severino drop it double 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.560 dishit K game too? Six innings shut out baseball against 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.360 the Copies. First, the Mets beat up showed ay Minaga 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:10.240 on Friday night and beat him soundly. I mean that 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.240 was talk about things. I did not have my Bengo 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.400 card that was definitely one of them this weekend. And 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.039 then Gno drop him ten k's. That was pretty cool, 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:17.760 pretty wild. 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:22.400 Did you also see they did. I'm a huge, huge 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.920 on field interview fan guy, like give me a mic 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.480 on a player while they're playing. It's always the future baseball. 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.080 They should do it all the time. We should have 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.840 more featured I mean, unfortunately, we can't have any featured game, 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.120 you know, the ESPN whatever it is Thursday Night Game, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.279 Wednesday Night game anymore because it's on stupid Apple TV, 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.680 or it's over here. This is blacked out, blah blah blah. 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.400 It's all nonsense. So nothing is featured anymore. But I 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.479 think they should always talk to players. And they talked 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.920 to Pete Alonzo. I think it was on Saturday. They 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.440 asked him who would you rather go on a walk with? 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.200 And they had a reason behind this. Frank the Tank, 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.200 who is a barstool Guy's a four hundred pound guy, 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.000 Frank the Tank, and he's a notorious Mets fan who 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:06.160 hates everything or Grimace, and Pete Alonzo did not hesitate 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.400 with going, oh Grimace. He's like, Grimace helped us get 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.719 to those seven wins, and if we can get Grimace 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.600 back out there, I'm hanging with Grimace all day every day. 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.320 So shout out to Grimace again. The mascot of the 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:22.120 Mets is going to get traded, by the way, by 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:24.960 all an indications. They did an executive poll and he 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.479 was one of the top players that's gonna get moved 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.719 in the next month. You say good good. 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.799 You know why because look something I don't like ped Alonzo. 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.200 He's a good dude. He does a lot of good 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.280 things in the community. Peter Alonso is not going to 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.880 make this teamo winner in the next three years. Like 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.160 he's not. His stats are going in the wrong direction, 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.159 his age's going in the wrong direction. And if you 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:48.800 can get a Hall for peede A, Lonzo is going 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.200 to make you a sustainable good team, which is something 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.520 the Mets haven't been. The Mets are frustrating because they 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.240 are like a spurt like a year or two where 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.120 they're really good, and then they fall off a map 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:58.360 and then like, oh it's a year or two where 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.640 we're interesting again. Then they follow them map. I want 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.440 sustainable good I want what the Astros have had, you know, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:04.440 that's what I want. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.680 Well, it's also developing young talent, Like that's that's what 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.800 right they don't do They just go buy talent for 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:10.880 two hundred million dollars. 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.159 That's fine, But it looks like they finally have started 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.240 to develop good talent. Look, Viento's I think is going 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.880 to be a player. Mauricio, I'm definitely sure it is 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.279 going to be a player. I think Alvarez is going 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.200 to be a player. You've got a good core there, 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:22.680 and then you got the Gilbert's and the Acunias and 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.600 all these other guys coming through. Christian Scott looks pretty good. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.400 Bouteau's been pretty solid, Like the Mets all of a 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:32.000 sudden have something where Look, I'd rather deal p to 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.760 Alonzo and be sustainable for five good years than try 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.760 to have one good run in three years with Pete Alonzo. There, 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.840 that's my point. Now, one guy who's not gonna be 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.040 around the Mets for the next ten days is Edwin Diaz. 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.040 He is going to miss some time because it was 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:49.800 a stick iky on the glove. So there you go, Welsh. 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.960 So that's not the only suspension today we're going to 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.560 talk about, but it's the first of two. I know 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.320 you're just waiting in the wings for the second one. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.360 I got a funny connection I'll throw to you guys 0:06:58.360 --> 0:06:59.200 as well on the shot. 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.520 About what Diaz is sticky stuff? Is that? No, no, no, 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.600 the we're going to talk about let's talk about the 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:03.960 first one. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.360 His hand looks get by the way, they had had 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.440 a close up of his hand and it being like 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.320 the sticky stuff looks disgusting, like it's so visual, the dirt, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.320 and they just it just didn't look good. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.679 It didn't look good. He's gonna be out for ten games. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.440 So you just got him back and now he's go 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.480 trade for him again. The strikeout rate is still super high. 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.280 I don't care. Max Shu's a returned yesterday, big big deal. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.440 I feel like the Texas Rangers Welsh are a collective 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.680 by low. I talked about this on Sports Creed yesterday. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:34.400 You know, looking at Adolas Garcia, who is hitting under 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.400 two hundred this month. I'm looking at White Langford starting 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.320 to pick things up a little bit. Simon has been 0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:42.520 a little mid so far in the last two months, 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.440 not like the standard of which we're used to. They're getting, 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.080 sures are back and they're starting. I feel like the 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:49.120 Texas Rangers are gonna flip a switch. And this is 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.680 what happens a lot with those teams that play well 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.760 into October that the next year there's a little bit 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.720 of a lag and then yeah, okay, we flip the 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.000 switch around the All Star break and we know what 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.200 we got to do to get in the playoffs, and 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.480 then go I feel like the Texas Range, that kind 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:02.640 of team veterans. They get a lot of presents there. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.200 Sures are coming back. I think we'll up that intensity 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.000 for them. I am collectively buying on the Rangers. What 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.080 do you think about Sures's return Yesterday? Five shoutout innings, 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:15.000 striking out for walking nobody and that theory of buying 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.520 on the Garcias and Langfords and the Simians of the 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.520 world on the way down the stretch run here for 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.200 the for the sexist Rangers. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.160 Well, it is a trade talk day and we're going 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.160 to talk about a Ranger, and just a tiny bit 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.200 is in my trades when we get there. Yeah, I'm 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:30.720 in general, I've kind of like the same thing with 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.920 Corey Seger. Corey Seeger and relapsing with the injury type 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.079 of stuff that kind of gets people down at last Garcia, 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.200 like you mentioned you, they're gonna as a whole. They're 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:41.200 gonna get Josh Young back in just a little bit 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:45.319 as well. But this also confirms that remember you asked 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.960 me who did I want rest of season Verlander or 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.120 Max Scherzer, and it's Max, and I thought he looked 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:55.720 pretty good. I will say interesting that the walk rate 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.520 was so low. He was like under thirty five percent 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.480 on him slider, curveball and change up in the zone. 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:04.640 And not that you want to keep those all in 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.600 the zone, but you do want to be able to 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.240 like have a little show me. But he was high 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.679 fastball in the zone, and that might be his trick. 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.240 There's almost seventy percent fastball in the zone. Throw that 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.640 in the zone. Get a few whiffs on it. He did, 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.320 but build it off of everything else. Don't walk guys, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.640 stay healthy. He's a huge cog to it. I'm with 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.280 your overarching theme of like, yeah, Rangers are a great 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.960 team to buy outside of like Evan Carter, I'm still 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:29.920 not gonna. 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:30.720 Buy the harder stuff. 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:33.200 He's going to be rehabbing out here, I think shortly. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.560 As I've been told, I'm just not interested there. But 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.319 there's a lot of other pieces that I am. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.560 Here's a question from Ryan Schmidt. Would you trade Luis 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.319 Hell for Pablo Lopez the rest of season? Absolutely? 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.280 Yes, sure, yes, of course I think you would have 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:53.960 to shoot that. I still Stanford, did we Yeah, we 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.240 we did a show after he got blown blew up right, Yeah, 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.800 Unfortunately I deleted you blocked it. 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.360 Out because I told you so. 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:06.679 I still believe that Luis Hell. They're going to adjust 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:07.720 him in a way. 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.120 He's getting that's gonna keep him. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.199 But I'm taking Pablo because there's no restrictions on Pablo 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.400 everything that we talked about before. I think it's a 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:15.000 great trade. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.600 It's easy. That is a no brainer. You can pull 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:17.960 that off. 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:22.680 Run next year though. Next year that's a diffascinating different story. 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.280 And I'm talking redraft. The Blue Jays are gonna have 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.880 to go redraft some more guys because Elvis Martinez just 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.320 got an eighty game suspension. To god, the Blue Jays 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.760 are like the Black Cloud. But Chet's calf injury. They 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:37.959 can't get a closer to stay healthy now. Elvis Martinez 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.559 performance enhancing drugs. Great? Who was a girl trying to 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.439 find it here? Because it was really good when he 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.880 said Aurelvis has left my line up. That was great. 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.679 That was Jack a plus buddy, that was well Jack. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.920 Jack is a superstar. By the way, you would love Jack, 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:56.080 by the way, East Coast guy, I love Jack already. No, 0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:58.319 he does my pay He does a parody songs on it. 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.680 I know Jack, I know Jacks from the party songs. 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.480 Yeah, jack Boys Jack Boyce on the Twitter, go follow 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.439 him or jack Boys parody follow him. 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.280 He's good, very entertaining fellow. 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:13.880 Two interesting things about the well one anti. 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:15.480 Now you're downgraded to one so fast. 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.160 No, no, I'm gonna give you two. I just wanted to say, 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.680 ha ha, not a Relvis Martinez guy. So when number 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.920 one it was a fertility drug that he said he 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.960 was taking for him and his wife. So interesting that 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.680 they did no research to know that that would affect 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.200 your job. But he he says it was a fertigity. 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.199 I mean it is a performance enhancing drug. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.840 Second, just gonna throw this out here, did you this 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.400 is a did you know? Did you know that the 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.200 last two guys to get those eighty game suspensions? Who 0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:49.719 are those players? By the way, those are Releves. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.640 And God who is the other one? 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.120 Noelbe Marte Ma right, No, interesting I think, but yes, Martine, 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.400 Well interesting fact. Did you know they have the same agent? 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.320 Isn't that weird? This is such a crazy coincidence too, 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.440 that Relvis and Noelvie both. 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.120 They trying to get the agent's wife pregnant. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.160 No, I'm I'm just saying this is not so crazy. 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.360 The last two guys got popped there. They have a 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.680 connection with each other too. But yeah, he's gonna be 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.280 out for eighty games due to Is that. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.160 The reason too? I didn't see that. That's what he said. 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.360 He said it was due to a fertility drug. 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.080 If that's the case, he should go appeal that and win, 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.320 because well, I mean, look, if it's some sort of 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.160 fertility issue and he's trying to you know, have a 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:35.120 family or something like that, if it's if it's an excuse, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.400 it is one of the most clever and hashtag worst 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.760 excuses ever too, Like what a shady way to like 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:45.000 try to go around about that. But I mean I've 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.640 had numerous friends in my life who really struggle to 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.600 have kids and if they want a family and that's 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.600 the reason, Like, I mean, that's that's ridiculous that. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:53.800 Yeah, No, I mean it would it would almost be like, hey, 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:55.320 it's crazy. It would be really good to have like 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.360 someone working around you that could like properly put you 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.160 in a situation and where you don't get suspended, lose 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:01.559 a bunch of. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.920 There were doctors around Major League Baseball that you get 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:04.600 sulted any. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.720 Or if there's just someone that had experience with it 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:08.839 and was really good at like telling hey, this is 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.679 a good thing to say. I'm just I don't know. 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:11.040 I don't know. 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.560 Well, but it'll be back in September, hopefully, baby and all. 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.520 No, he won't be back in September now with eighty games. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:20.160 Yeah, I think that's what they said. I think he 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.680 said he'd be back in September. Yeah, he's excited to 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.760 be back in September. Play. I wanted to show you 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.040 a picture. I can't find it. Uh, you got to see. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.400 Dad by the way. Okay, what you want to No, No. 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.719 I don't want to conversation. No, but go look up 0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:35.840 Arens Dad with. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:40.679 The inner workings of the vast difference. Everybody, yay, Well 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.240 it was a happy Monday everybody. Paul Skeens struck out 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.480 eight by the way against the Rays. No decision for him, 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.000 some fun things fun, But the Yankees decided to pick 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:54.080 up JD. Davis who's not special, and Oswald Perrazza gets 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.520 sent down. Also if no, Ben Rice was two for 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.000 three on Sunday against the Braves. So I don't know 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.040 how much the JD. Dave addition matters, but I understand 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.240 the move from the Yankee standpoint. Blake's now, by the way, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.320 also not good in his first minor league rehab, starting 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.000 triple A on Sunday, two runs, three hits, three walks, 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.560 one in two thirsand ths zero case, no strikeouts. They 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.520 are a little rookie lookie action. Before we get to 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:20.040 the trade video to Mark Bento's seventh home run, Harry Good, 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:22.320 I'm telling you I believe in him. We also got 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.000 the Orioles planning to remote hess and Karstad again, so 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:30.200 that's exciting, I think. And then James Wood, well that'll 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.880 be more exciting if they played him. And then James 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:35.040 Wood two for five with a solo homer there, so 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.720 that is good. So Welsh, it's a good time of 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.600 year or two where the teams know who they are, 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:43.480 where you're at in the standings in your fantasy league. 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.640 So this is a perfect time to really start looking 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:51.000 ahead to all of the potential for trades, and we 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:54.120 today are gonna do just that. So let's start talking 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.840 trades with the Welsh and Joey P. Welsh, who do 0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.160 you have for everybody this week? 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.440 Well, you mentioned one of those names. How about we 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.560 do go look at Joey's favorite Al Rookie of the 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.840 Year bet and a player that qualifies under the by 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.440 Rangers in Wyatt Langford. Obviously, Langford has started to pick 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.960 it up. It took him until June to get the 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:20.040 first homer that he actually hit over well looking from 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.680 June first on, so we're almost out of the month, 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.960 so this is like a little over three weeks. Wyatt 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:29.800 Langford is hitting three ten this month, two homers, six 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:34.400 stolen bases. This is exciting for him too. A seventeen 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.840 percent strikeout rate compared to the season rate he's had, 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.000 which is around twenty percent. He's also been hitting two 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.400 fifty four in the year. So Wyatt Langford not just 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.120 picking up some of the contact stuff. He's getting the 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.440 ball in the air. He's doing the Bryce This is 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.000 I call the Bryce Harper thing. When you're not hitting 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.280 for significant power, you make up for it on the 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.360 base paths. Bryce Harper did this for like five straight years. 0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.360 One year he wouldn't hit for homers, he stole a 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.080 bunch of bases. Next year, boom ball is flying. Ball 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.000 is starting to fly. He's making good decisions, he's hitting 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.960 the ball and not striking out, and those are the 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.160 things that are going to put him in the middle 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.920 of the lineup and gonna make him more viable in 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.400 that Rookie of the Year race. So it is a 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.160 great time to buy Wyatt. Langford's still in the cheap 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.000 because also we all have that yucky taste of bad 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.760 prospect production and no one working out. It's also kind 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.360 of a good time to buy in. You don't need 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.200 a trade for him, but pick up. As you mentioned 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:32.080 Heston kerstin number two, this is another outfielder who I 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.000 just I don't think the name wows anybody anymore and 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.120 doesn't have any excitement, but I think this is a 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.400 great guy to get small trades done with right now. 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:44.600 Washington's Lane Thomas. Thomas has had some injuries this year. 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.400 He's had kind of a slow start across the year, 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.720 but since June first, that's our marker today, hitting two 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:55.360 ninety three, has five homers, two stolen bases, and you 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:59.040 want the epitome of a player that really is five 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.320 tools and rules, especially in fantasy, is not just power 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.920 and speed, but someone who's scoring runs having RBIs Lane 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:11.639 Thomas has the sixth most run scored seventeen since June first, 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:16.080 and the fourth most RBI eighteen since June first. So 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:20.439 he's hitting him in, he's scoring, he's got power, he's running, 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:24.920 and he's got batting average. Lane Thomas a great probably 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.600 like outfielder three you could buy that's performing at an 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.320 outfielder two costs. Yeah, exactly, and then finally just a 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:32.960 third one. I know we've talked about him a decent 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:37.200 amount show, but Hunter Brown with the Astros. 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:37.960 Soon the last three starts, oh my. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.719 Well, and it all tied in to him starting to 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.840 take away his fast forcing usage and start using the sinker. 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.040 And the sinker was just giving a different perspective into 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.000 the zone, throwing it for strikes. It's just done wonders 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.600 for him. And since that has gone up June first, 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:58.879 he has the fifth best K minus walk percentage in baseball. 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.879 Since June first, twenty four point seven, he's got a 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.800 ten and a half k per nine, an under two 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.679 walk per nine, and a one point four to four ERA. 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:13.399 Since June first, you could see that maybe he's a 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.159 guy that you would want to sell on, except his 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.919 swinging strike rate is up, the K minus walk percentage, 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.879 the walks are way down. It's not just it's not 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:26.920 a vanity line. Like sometimes in short periods of time, 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:29.400 guys will have these really cool vanity lines where it's like, ooh, 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.280 the guy has an under one ERA and striking out 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.760 a bunch. He's not just striking out, but he's also 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.760 not walking anybody. He's maintaining he's picking up wins three 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.520 to zero in that period of time. So as much 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.840 as he feels kind of like the Cell, think he's 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:45.320 actually a great buy right now because people don't know 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:49.040 quite what to do with him. So again, Wyatt, Langford, Lane, 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.880 Thomas Hunter Brown, those guys are at the tippy top 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.120 of players I would be trying to go buy right now. 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.960 Yeah, and Hunter Brown last three starts, nineteen innings, twenty 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.800 two strikeouts, four walks, a point four to seven ERA 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.120 and a point nine to five whip. Talk about turning 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.159
