Speaker 3: me Joey p. That's the Welsh, and it's you, the
Speaker 3: Peanuts and the cracker Jacks, the special attraction here on
Speaker 3: the show Welsh. No matter how tired I might be
Speaker 3: on a Monday, there's something about that peppy little tune.
Speaker 3: But a little kickstart in my step, that's what it does.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: Like you can tell the people that maybe haven't been
Speaker 2: around for a couple of days in the chat when
Speaker 2: you played it, and they're like, what is going mister
Speaker 2: Busker obviously has not been around for a little bit,
Speaker 2: so I like every time it seems to surprise a
Speaker 2: person or two.
Speaker 3: It is great. It's our theme song for the year
Speaker 3: and we will have something new next year. Is what
Speaker 3: we always do here around these pickers. But yeah, a
Speaker 3: lot to get to, some sticky situations and also some good,
Speaker 3: the bad, and the ugly, some injury issues. I think
Speaker 3: we got to talk about the Dodgers too, and I
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, you know, they can keep winning
Speaker 3: games right now, but I'm looking at that long term
Speaker 3: rotation and some of the other injuries, and I'm getting
Speaker 3: a little worried about the Dodgers. Welsh. But let's start
Speaker 3: instead with the headlines of something good, something that we
Speaker 3: kept saying was do to happen, and it finally now
Speaker 3: it was against the Oaklays, but still, fourteen strikeouts is
Speaker 3: fourteen strikeouts, Welsh. Pablo Lopez had himself a banger, eight
Speaker 3: shutout innings against the A's. This is what we've been
Speaker 3: waiting for. We finally got it, Welsh. This was great
Speaker 3: to see. The xcra's always been so much better all
Speaker 3: year than the era he kept having these bad starts,
Speaker 3: bad luck, all these bad, bad bad It was nothing
Speaker 3: but good yesterday for Pablo. Oh.
Speaker 2: Yes, he has been the number one bye bye bye,
Speaker 2: and so many people online because it's like we're not
Speaker 2: the only ones talking about it. Plenty of people I see,
Speaker 2: you know, towers in them and CBS just getting annihilated
Speaker 2: by talking about it. Like multiple of us are looking
Speaker 2: because when you look at the outlying metrics, there was
Speaker 2: so much that was telling us this is not gonna last.
Speaker 2: Plus not walking guys, the k's are still there and this,
Speaker 2: like you said, this is an a situation. So what
Speaker 2: do I always say, what does that mean in real
Speaker 2: baseball terms? You know, striking out fourteen against the A's
Speaker 2: it's like striking out like nine against the Brewers, and
Speaker 2: it's still really great. In this start fastball, Velo was
Speaker 2: up almost a mile per hour on the year, so
Speaker 2: he was a little bit jacked up there. He had
Speaker 2: ten whiffs on the fastball alone, nineteen total for a
Speaker 2: thirty five percent with rate. He had a thirty one
Speaker 2: percent CSW so called strikes with whiffs. He looked great,
Speaker 2: and I think you're gonna you're gonna be able to
Speaker 2: take this run. This confident start and carry it over
Speaker 2: to Like I said, a guy that had a two
Speaker 2: run differential between he's expected in his actual era, and
Speaker 2: a lot of other things that told us this great story.
Speaker 2: The buying opportunity has now officially altered. It has changed.
Speaker 2: He still has a five VRA and he has a
Speaker 2: three two five expected era, but the the what the
Speaker 2: buy looks like now is a much different situation. Because
Speaker 2: he struck out fourteen, you can still do it. I
Speaker 2: love it because I'm a Pablo fan.
Speaker 3: Yes, as am. I so good to see him get
Speaker 3: back on track. How about Louis Severino drop it double
Speaker 3: dishit K game too? Six innings shut out baseball against
Speaker 3: the Copies. First, the Mets beat up showed ay Minaga
Speaker 3: on Friday night and beat him soundly. I mean that
Speaker 3: was talk about things. I did not have my Bengo
Speaker 3: card that was definitely one of them this weekend. And
Speaker 3: then Gno drop him ten k's. That was pretty cool,
Speaker 3: pretty wild.
Speaker 2: Did you also see they did. I'm a huge, huge
Speaker 2: on field interview fan guy, like give me a mic
Speaker 2: on a player while they're playing. It's always the future baseball.
Speaker 2: They should do it all the time. We should have
Speaker 2: more featured I mean, unfortunately, we can't have any featured game,
Speaker 2: you know, the ESPN whatever it is Thursday Night Game,
Speaker 2: Wednesday Night game anymore because it's on stupid Apple TV,
Speaker 2: or it's over here. This is blacked out, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: It's all nonsense. So nothing is featured anymore. But I
Speaker 2: think they should always talk to players. And they talked
Speaker 2: to Pete Alonzo. I think it was on Saturday. They
Speaker 2: asked him who would you rather go on a walk with?
Speaker 2: And they had a reason behind this. Frank the Tank,
Speaker 2: who is a barstool Guy's a four hundred pound guy,
Speaker 2: Frank the Tank, and he's a notorious Mets fan who
Speaker 2: hates everything or Grimace, and Pete Alonzo did not hesitate
Speaker 2: with going, oh Grimace. He's like, Grimace helped us get
Speaker 2: to those seven wins, and if we can get Grimace
Speaker 2: back out there, I'm hanging with Grimace all day every day.
Speaker 2: So shout out to Grimace again. The mascot of the
Speaker 2: Mets is going to get traded, by the way, by
Speaker 2: all an indications. They did an executive poll and he
Speaker 2: was one of the top players that's gonna get moved
Speaker 2: in the next month. You say good good.
Speaker 3: You know why because look something I don't like ped Alonzo.
Speaker 3: He's a good dude. He does a lot of good
Speaker 3: things in the community. Peter Alonso is not going to
Speaker 3: make this teamo winner in the next three years. Like
Speaker 3: he's not. His stats are going in the wrong direction,
Speaker 3: his age's going in the wrong direction. And if you
Speaker 3: can get a Hall for peede A, Lonzo is going
Speaker 3: to make you a sustainable good team, which is something
Speaker 3: the Mets haven't been. The Mets are frustrating because they
Speaker 3: are like a spurt like a year or two where
Speaker 3: they're really good, and then they fall off a map
Speaker 3: and then like, oh it's a year or two where
Speaker 3: we're interesting again. Then they follow them map. I want
Speaker 3: sustainable good I want what the Astros have had, you know,
Speaker 3: that's what I want.
Speaker 2: Well, it's also developing young talent, Like that's that's what
Speaker 2: right they don't do They just go buy talent for
Speaker 2: two hundred million dollars.
Speaker 3: That's fine, But it looks like they finally have started
Speaker 3: to develop good talent. Look, Viento's I think is going
Speaker 3: to be a player. Mauricio, I'm definitely sure it is
Speaker 3: going to be a player. I think Alvarez is going
Speaker 3: to be a player. You've got a good core there,
Speaker 3: and then you got the Gilbert's and the Acunias and
Speaker 3: all these other guys coming through. Christian Scott looks pretty good.
Speaker 3: Bouteau's been pretty solid, Like the Mets all of a
Speaker 3: sudden have something where Look, I'd rather deal p to
Speaker 3: Alonzo and be sustainable for five good years than try
Speaker 3: to have one good run in three years with Pete Alonzo. There,
Speaker 3: that's my point. Now, one guy who's not gonna be
Speaker 3: around the Mets for the next ten days is Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 3: He is going to miss some time because it was
Speaker 3: a stick iky on the glove. So there you go, Welsh.
Speaker 3: So that's not the only suspension today we're going to
Speaker 3: talk about, but it's the first of two. I know
Speaker 3: you're just waiting in the wings for the second one.
Speaker 2: I got a funny connection I'll throw to you guys
Speaker 2: as well on the shot.
Speaker 3: About what Diaz is sticky stuff? Is that? No, no, no,
Speaker 3: the we're going to talk about let's talk about the
Speaker 3: first one.
Speaker 2: His hand looks get by the way, they had had
Speaker 2: a close up of his hand and it being like
Speaker 2: the sticky stuff looks disgusting, like it's so visual, the dirt,
Speaker 2: and they just it just didn't look good.
Speaker 3: It didn't look good. He's gonna be out for ten games.
Speaker 3: So you just got him back and now he's go
Speaker 3: trade for him again. The strikeout rate is still super high.
Speaker 3: I don't care. Max Shu's a returned yesterday, big big deal.
Speaker 3: I feel like the Texas Rangers Welsh are a collective
Speaker 3: by low. I talked about this on Sports Creed yesterday.
Speaker 3: You know, looking at Adolas Garcia, who is hitting under
Speaker 3: two hundred this month. I'm looking at White Langford starting
Speaker 3: to pick things up a little bit. Simon has been
Speaker 3: a little mid so far in the last two months,
Speaker 3: not like the standard of which we're used to. They're getting,
Speaker 3: sures are back and they're starting. I feel like the
Speaker 3: Texas Rangers are gonna flip a switch. And this is
Speaker 3: what happens a lot with those teams that play well
Speaker 3: into October that the next year there's a little bit
Speaker 3: of a lag and then yeah, okay, we flip the
Speaker 3: switch around the All Star break and we know what
Speaker 3: we got to do to get in the playoffs, and
Speaker 3: then go I feel like the Texas Range, that kind
Speaker 3: of team veterans. They get a lot of presents there.
Speaker 3: Sures are coming back. I think we'll up that intensity
Speaker 3: for them. I am collectively buying on the Rangers. What
Speaker 3: do you think about Sures's return Yesterday? Five shoutout innings,
Speaker 3: striking out for walking nobody and that theory of buying
Speaker 3: on the Garcias and Langfords and the Simians of the
Speaker 3: world on the way down the stretch run here for
Speaker 3: the for the sexist Rangers.
Speaker 2: Well, it is a trade talk day and we're going
Speaker 2: to talk about a Ranger, and just a tiny bit
Speaker 2: is in my trades when we get there. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: in general, I've kind of like the same thing with
Speaker 2: Corey Seger. Corey Seeger and relapsing with the injury type
Speaker 2: of stuff that kind of gets people down at last Garcia,
Speaker 2: like you mentioned you, they're gonna as a whole. They're
Speaker 2: gonna get Josh Young back in just a little bit
Speaker 2: as well. But this also confirms that remember you asked
Speaker 2: me who did I want rest of season Verlander or
Speaker 2: Max Scherzer, and it's Max, and I thought he looked
Speaker 2: pretty good. I will say interesting that the walk rate
Speaker 2: was so low. He was like under thirty five percent
Speaker 2: on him slider, curveball and change up in the zone.
Speaker 2: And not that you want to keep those all in
Speaker 2: the zone, but you do want to be able to
Speaker 2: like have a little show me. But he was high
Speaker 2: fastball in the zone, and that might be his trick.
Speaker 2: There's almost seventy percent fastball in the zone. Throw that
Speaker 2: in the zone. Get a few whiffs on it. He did,
Speaker 2: but build it off of everything else. Don't walk guys,
Speaker 2: stay healthy. He's a huge cog to it. I'm with
Speaker 2: your overarching theme of like, yeah, Rangers are a great
Speaker 2: team to buy outside of like Evan Carter, I'm still
Speaker 2: not gonna.
Speaker 3: Buy the harder stuff.
Speaker 2: He's going to be rehabbing out here, I think shortly.
Speaker 2: As I've been told, I'm just not interested there. But
Speaker 2: there's a lot of other pieces that I am.
Speaker 3: Here's a question from Ryan Schmidt. Would you trade Luis
Speaker 3: Hell for Pablo Lopez the rest of season? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Yes, sure, yes, of course I think you would have
Speaker 2: to shoot that. I still Stanford, did we Yeah, we
Speaker 2: we did a show after he got blown blew up right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Unfortunately I deleted you blocked it.
Speaker 3: Out because I told you so.
Speaker 2: I still believe that Luis Hell. They're going to adjust
Speaker 2: him in a way.
Speaker 3: He's getting that's gonna keep him.
Speaker 2: But I'm taking Pablo because there's no restrictions on Pablo
Speaker 2: everything that we talked about before. I think it's a
Speaker 2: great trade.
Speaker 3: It's easy. That is a no brainer. You can pull
Speaker 3: that off.
Speaker 2: Run next year though. Next year that's a diffascinating different story.
Speaker 3: And I'm talking redraft. The Blue Jays are gonna have
Speaker 3: to go redraft some more guys because Elvis Martinez just
Speaker 3: got an eighty game suspension. To god, the Blue Jays
Speaker 3: are like the Black Cloud. But Chet's calf injury. They
Speaker 3: can't get a closer to stay healthy now. Elvis Martinez
Speaker 3: performance enhancing drugs. Great? Who was a girl trying to
Speaker 3: find it here? Because it was really good when he
Speaker 3: said Aurelvis has left my line up. That was great.
Speaker 3: That was Jack a plus buddy, that was well Jack.
Speaker 2: Jack is a superstar. By the way, you would love Jack,
Speaker 2: by the way, East Coast guy, I love Jack already. No,
Speaker 2: he does my pay He does a parody songs on it.
Speaker 3: I know Jack, I know Jacks from the party songs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, jack Boys Jack Boyce on the Twitter, go follow
Speaker 2: him or jack Boys parody follow him.
Speaker 3: He's good, very entertaining fellow.
Speaker 2: Two interesting things about the well one anti.
Speaker 3: Now you're downgraded to one so fast.
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm gonna give you two. I just wanted to say,
Speaker 2: ha ha, not a Relvis Martinez guy. So when number
Speaker 2: one it was a fertility drug that he said he
Speaker 2: was taking for him and his wife. So interesting that
Speaker 2: they did no research to know that that would affect
Speaker 2: your job. But he he says it was a fertigity.
Speaker 3: I mean it is a performance enhancing drug.
Speaker 2: Second, just gonna throw this out here, did you this
Speaker 2: is a did you know? Did you know that the
Speaker 2: last two guys to get those eighty game suspensions? Who
Speaker 2: are those players? By the way, those are Releves.
Speaker 3: And God who is the other one?
Speaker 2: Noelbe Marte Ma right, No, interesting I think, but yes, Martine,
Speaker 2: Well interesting fact. Did you know they have the same agent?
Speaker 2: Isn't that weird? This is such a crazy coincidence too,
Speaker 2: that Relvis and Noelvie both.
Speaker 3: They trying to get the agent's wife pregnant.
Speaker 2: No, I'm I'm just saying this is not so crazy.
Speaker 2: The last two guys got popped there. They have a
Speaker 2: connection with each other too. But yeah, he's gonna be
Speaker 2: out for eighty games due to Is that.
Speaker 3: The reason too? I didn't see that. That's what he said.
Speaker 2: He said it was due to a fertility drug.
Speaker 3: If that's the case, he should go appeal that and win,
Speaker 3: because well, I mean, look, if it's some sort of
Speaker 3: fertility issue and he's trying to you know, have a
Speaker 3: family or something like that, if it's if it's an excuse,
Speaker 3: it is one of the most clever and hashtag worst
Speaker 3: excuses ever too, Like what a shady way to like
Speaker 3: try to go around about that. But I mean I've
Speaker 3: had numerous friends in my life who really struggle to
Speaker 3: have kids and if they want a family and that's
Speaker 3: the reason, Like, I mean, that's that's ridiculous that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I mean it would it would almost be like, hey,
Speaker 2: it's crazy. It would be really good to have like
Speaker 2: someone working around you that could like properly put you
Speaker 2: in a situation and where you don't get suspended, lose
Speaker 2: a bunch of.
Speaker 3: There were doctors around Major League Baseball that you get
Speaker 3: sulted any.
Speaker 2: Or if there's just someone that had experience with it
Speaker 2: and was really good at like telling hey, this is
Speaker 2: a good thing to say. I'm just I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, but it'll be back in September, hopefully, baby and all.
Speaker 3: No, he won't be back in September now with eighty games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what they said. I think he
Speaker 2: said he'd be back in September. Yeah, he's excited to
Speaker 2: be back in September. Play. I wanted to show you
Speaker 2: a picture. I can't find it. Uh, you got to see.
Speaker 3: Dad by the way. Okay, what you want to No, No.
Speaker 2: I don't want to conversation. No, but go look up
Speaker 2: Arens Dad with.
Speaker 3: The inner workings of the vast difference. Everybody, yay, Well
Speaker 3: it was a happy Monday everybody. Paul Skeens struck out
Speaker 3: eight by the way against the Rays. No decision for him,
Speaker 3: some fun things fun, But the Yankees decided to pick
Speaker 3: up JD. Davis who's not special, and Oswald Perrazza gets
Speaker 3: sent down. Also if no, Ben Rice was two for
Speaker 3: three on Sunday against the Braves. So I don't know
Speaker 3: how much the JD. Dave addition matters, but I understand
Speaker 3: the move from the Yankee standpoint. Blake's now, by the way,
Speaker 3: also not good in his first minor league rehab, starting
Speaker 3: triple A on Sunday, two runs, three hits, three walks,
Speaker 3: one in two thirsand ths zero case, no strikeouts. They
Speaker 3: are a little rookie lookie action. Before we get to
Speaker 3: the trade video to Mark Bento's seventh home run, Harry Good,
Speaker 3: I'm telling you I believe in him. We also got
Speaker 3: the Orioles planning to remote hess and Karstad again, so
Speaker 3: that's exciting, I think. And then James Wood, well that'll
Speaker 3: be more exciting if they played him. And then James
Speaker 3: Wood two for five with a solo homer there, so
Speaker 3: that is good. So Welsh, it's a good time of
Speaker 3: year or two where the teams know who they are,
Speaker 3: where you're at in the standings in your fantasy league.
Speaker 3: So this is a perfect time to really start looking
Speaker 3: ahead to all of the potential for trades, and we
Speaker 3: today are gonna do just that. So let's start talking
Speaker 3: trades with the Welsh and Joey P. Welsh, who do
Speaker 3: you have for everybody this week?
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned one of those names. How about we
Speaker 2: do go look at Joey's favorite Al Rookie of the
Speaker 2: Year bet and a player that qualifies under the by
Speaker 2: Rangers in Wyatt Langford. Obviously, Langford has started to pick
Speaker 2: it up. It took him until June to get the
Speaker 2: first homer that he actually hit over well looking from
Speaker 2: June first on, so we're almost out of the month,
Speaker 2: so this is like a little over three weeks. Wyatt
Speaker 2: Langford is hitting three ten this month, two homers, six
Speaker 2: stolen bases. This is exciting for him too. A seventeen
Speaker 2: percent strikeout rate compared to the season rate he's had,
Speaker 2: which is around twenty percent. He's also been hitting two
Speaker 2: fifty four in the year. So Wyatt Langford not just
Speaker 2: picking up some of the contact stuff. He's getting the
Speaker 2: ball in the air. He's doing the Bryce This is
Speaker 2: I call the Bryce Harper thing. When you're not hitting
Speaker 2: for significant power, you make up for it on the
Speaker 2: base paths. Bryce Harper did this for like five straight years.
Speaker 2: One year he wouldn't hit for homers, he stole a
Speaker 2: bunch of bases. Next year, boom ball is flying. Ball
Speaker 2: is starting to fly. He's making good decisions, he's hitting
Speaker 2: the ball and not striking out, and those are the
Speaker 2: things that are going to put him in the middle
Speaker 2: of the lineup and gonna make him more viable in
Speaker 2: that Rookie of the Year race. So it is a
Speaker 2: great time to buy Wyatt. Langford's still in the cheap
Speaker 2: because also we all have that yucky taste of bad
Speaker 2: prospect production and no one working out. It's also kind
Speaker 2: of a good time to buy in. You don't need
Speaker 2: a trade for him, but pick up. As you mentioned
Speaker 2: Heston kerstin number two, this is another outfielder who I
Speaker 2: just I don't think the name wows anybody anymore and
Speaker 2: doesn't have any excitement, but I think this is a
Speaker 2: great guy to get small trades done with right now.
Speaker 2: Washington's Lane Thomas. Thomas has had some injuries this year.
Speaker 2: He's had kind of a slow start across the year,
Speaker 2: but since June first, that's our marker today, hitting two
Speaker 2: ninety three, has five homers, two stolen bases, and you
Speaker 2: want the epitome of a player that really is five
Speaker 2: tools and rules, especially in fantasy, is not just power
Speaker 2: and speed, but someone who's scoring runs having RBIs Lane
Speaker 2: Thomas has the sixth most run scored seventeen since June first,
Speaker 2: and the fourth most RBI eighteen since June first. So
Speaker 2: he's hitting him in, he's scoring, he's got power, he's running,
Speaker 2: and he's got batting average. Lane Thomas a great probably
Speaker 2: like outfielder three you could buy that's performing at an
Speaker 2: outfielder two costs. Yeah, exactly, and then finally just a
Speaker 2: third one. I know we've talked about him a decent
Speaker 2: amount show, but Hunter Brown with the Astros.
Speaker 3: Soon the last three starts, oh my.
Speaker 2: Well, and it all tied in to him starting to
Speaker 2: take away his fast forcing usage and start using the sinker.
Speaker 2: And the sinker was just giving a different perspective into
Speaker 2: the zone, throwing it for strikes. It's just done wonders
Speaker 2: for him. And since that has gone up June first,
Speaker 2: he has the fifth best K minus walk percentage in baseball.
Speaker 2: Since June first, twenty four point seven, he's got a
Speaker 2: ten and a half k per nine, an under two
Speaker 2: walk per nine, and a one point four to four ERA.
Speaker 2: Since June first, you could see that maybe he's a
Speaker 2: guy that you would want to sell on, except his
Speaker 2: swinging strike rate is up, the K minus walk percentage,
Speaker 2: the walks are way down. It's not just it's not
Speaker 2: a vanity line. Like sometimes in short periods of time,
Speaker 2: guys will have these really cool vanity lines where it's like, ooh,
Speaker 2: the guy has an under one ERA and striking out
Speaker 2: a bunch. He's not just striking out, but he's also
Speaker 2: not walking anybody. He's maintaining he's picking up wins three
Speaker 2: to zero in that period of time. So as much
Speaker 2: as he feels kind of like the Cell, think he's
Speaker 2: actually a great buy right now because people don't know
Speaker 2: quite what to do with him. So again, Wyatt, Langford, Lane,
Speaker 2: Thomas Hunter Brown, those guys are at the tippy top
Speaker 2: of players I would be trying to go buy right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Hunter Brown last three starts, nineteen innings, twenty
Speaker 3: two strikeouts, four walks, a point four to seven ERA
Speaker 3: and a point nine to five whip. Talk about turning
Speaker 3: things around for a guy that got dropped earlier in
Speaker 3: the year in a lot of leagues. And look, they've
Speaker 3: had a lot of injuries to this rotation, so he
Speaker 3: ain't going any place. So you don't have to worry
Speaker 3: about Hunter Brown keeping his job because they've already lost
Speaker 3: a few starters this year. So Hunter Brown one hundred percent.
Speaker 3: You can even look, I was say, you get him
Speaker 3: a thrown in a deal, but in a package deal.
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are looking at this
Speaker 3: and saying it's not sustainable, and it's not. But at
Speaker 3: the same time, Welsh you have to look at say
Speaker 3: something's clicked here for this guy. And if you can
Speaker 3: continue to have this kind of anything close to this
Speaker 3: kind of success through the second half of the season,
Speaker 3: then that is a huge addition for your rotation and
Speaker 3: for the Astros.
Speaker 2: Completely agree and not that this can happen, but like
Speaker 2: you can dream of someone having Linge Thomas and Hunter
Speaker 2: Brown and you trading away kind of a bigger name
Speaker 2: and performed player to go and get. Those are the
Speaker 2: two type of players you would want to bring back.
Speaker 2: I usually am always the advocate, give me the best
Speaker 2: player and a deal, especially in a ten team league,
Speaker 2: but give me the best physical player. But those are
Speaker 2: two players that would be really great to go and
Speaker 2: try to pick in a trade where you're trading away
Speaker 2: a good player. Those would be the nice bi low candidates.
Speaker 3: Real quick, why at Langford deal? What does that look like?
Speaker 2: What does it look like?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, what kind of package did you put together
Speaker 3: for White? Langthord just for people real quick, like I
Speaker 3: kind of pops in your head.
Speaker 2: I think it's got to be like a not a
Speaker 2: singular trade. I'm not sure you're trading one player now.
Speaker 2: If you were, I think it's easily it's a pitcher.
Speaker 2: If you were doing a one v one type of thing,
Speaker 2: you're trading away a maybe a Taj Bradley, you know,
Speaker 2: and that might be feel like you're selling high a
Speaker 2: little bit because of the strikeouts unless he gets blown
Speaker 2: up today. But trading like a Taj Bradley, good strikeout
Speaker 2: guy to go and pick up a Wyatt Langford. But
Speaker 2: I do think it's best suited in a two v
Speaker 2: two or again, you are trading away one player, you're
Speaker 2: consolidating and you're getting Wyatt and you're getting a Hunter
Speaker 2: Browns something like that, and you're trading away you know.
Speaker 2: I loosely say this, but like a Max Freed, like
Speaker 2: maybe that's too much to get length and Hunter brown
Speaker 2: bit in that general vein something like that.
Speaker 3: There you go, everybody, So go ahead, go to Fancy
Speaker 3: Rose dot com to you can always get extra trade
Speaker 3: advice there. Nolas Garcia I would throw into that range too.
Speaker 3: He's too good of a hitter. It will come back around.
Speaker 3: You know, he's gonna have one of these months where
Speaker 3: it's eight home runs. That's another guy I would throw
Speaker 3: onto this pile with. Those are the trades we're trying
Speaker 3: to make for Week fourteen in Major League Baseball. For
Speaker 3: Fantasy baseball, go wheel and deal, make some trades, all right.
Speaker 3: Let's also get to the three up and three down
Speaker 3: real quick. Josh Nayler three for five with a dinger.
Speaker 3: Cole Keith four for five with a homer at Duburn,
Speaker 3: three ribies at Alex Bregman at perfect four for four
Speaker 3: with a walk in, two runs scored. Yesterday, three down
Speaker 3: Bryce Miller, who had been what I mean against the
Speaker 3: Marlins at home. We talked about the home road splits right,
Speaker 3: we talked about Splitsville. It looked like a lock. Well,
Speaker 3: it did not go well for Bryce Miller. Michael King struggled.
Speaker 3: Welsh was talking about Michael King last week two, struggled
Speaker 3: against the Brewers this weekend five runs, nine hits for him.
Speaker 3: Logan Webb four runs, nine hits, six innings against the Cards.
Speaker 3: You know, King is really a weird one because he
Speaker 3: has been very up and down. It's like every time
Speaker 3: he has of these great starts, there's always that other one.
Speaker 3: Do you think that this is just the year of
Speaker 3: finding yourself? You know, you know, you go after college
Speaker 3: or something, you go.
Speaker 2: Do Is this a walk about?
Speaker 3: What are you saying in hostel in Nice for you know,
Speaker 3: six months? Like? Does Michael King just need this year
Speaker 3: to figure out what it is to be a starting pitcher?
Speaker 2: Did you do that? By the way, I know I've
Speaker 2: never been overse.
Speaker 3: No, I went to school in England, but I did
Speaker 3: not have necessarily a year where I just of discovery
Speaker 3: and find.
Speaker 2: My discovery was moving to LA and being around Slash
Speaker 2: and Ziggy Marley. That wasn't well, that'll do.
Speaker 3: I mean I did feel like you that's like three years.
Speaker 2: Around Zicky Marley. You do feel like you're in another
Speaker 2: world and something like that. But no, Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: the easy answer is yes. Michael King was a pseudo
Speaker 2: starter last year moving from relief. This is his first
Speaker 2: full year as a starter. The bumps and the bruises
Speaker 2: have been pretty apparent. But I will say this, I
Speaker 2: feel like he feels worse than he's actually performed. I
Speaker 2: think when you think of Michael King, Like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's been kind of a bumpy road.
Speaker 3: Da da da.
Speaker 2: But the guy's got a three seventy RA. He's got
Speaker 2: quite a bit more strikeouts than actual innings pitched. He
Speaker 2: just hasn't picked up wins with this team. He's five
Speaker 2: and five right now. I think there's a lot to
Speaker 2: be optimistic about. He has given up bottom ten percentile
Speaker 2: of the league hard hit numbers, so he's not he's
Speaker 2: not getting hit hard. He's got a twenty seven percent
Speaker 2: strikeout right, the walks have now hit under ten percent.
Speaker 2: He's still just kind of vibing over that June first marker.
Speaker 2: He's been one of the best pitchers in baseball even
Speaker 2: with one of those bad outings. Yeah, Redraft, it's like
Speaker 2: a tiny bit bumpy or I think he's I think
Speaker 2: he's a little bit above having to care about the
Speaker 2: performance the like who he's going against, Like, maybe you
Speaker 2: don't want to play him against Colorado, but he's a
Speaker 2: great dynasty.
Speaker 3: Buy.
Speaker 2: I think he's a great dynasty.
Speaker 3: I think he's got like Aaron Nola upside, Like he's
Speaker 3: never gonna be quite the best guy in the rotation,
Speaker 3: but he's he could be that guy where he's like,
Speaker 3: you know, he's gonna have some bad starts, but he's
Speaker 3: gonna have some good runs in him. We're some really
Speaker 3: great games. I don't know if I'll ever find the
Speaker 3: consistency to be a true ace. I don't think that
Speaker 3: seems like he's built for that necessarily, but strike out
Speaker 3: rates very high.
Speaker 2: He's since May, well, real quick. Since May he has
Speaker 2: had an under three e RA, a a three e
Speaker 2: r A in May, and a two nine three e
Speaker 2: RA this month. So it's been half of the season.
Speaker 2: Sub three era is let's see.
Speaker 3: How he finishes too. That's another guy too, well.
Speaker 2: That's the big piece.
Speaker 3: Yeah, huge one there. Mike wants to know. Can I
Speaker 3: drop Joe Hendry? You never dropped Joe Hendry? Do you
Speaker 3: know who that is? Welsh?
Speaker 2: I mean what I believe would be Johandry Vargas in Dynasty,
Speaker 2: but that's not like that.
Speaker 3: I don't know who Joe Hendry is is. Actually he's
Speaker 3: a wrestler, international guy. He's a British fellow. He wrestles
Speaker 3: in Impact Wrestling, which is now TNA again. Or our
Speaker 3: good friend Eric Young wrestles. It's he is basically has
Speaker 3: this I guess you would call it just like a
Speaker 3: viral sort of you know, entrance or what have you. Uh,
Speaker 3: it's very it's very fun.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna show it is he hawked to it in
Speaker 2: the entry.
Speaker 3: It does not hawk to it, by the way, everybody
Speaker 3: before I show you the Joe Hendry video in case
Speaker 3: you've never seen. It's very entertaining. He's like a his
Speaker 3: character is gimmick. He's like a motivational speaker. Like I'm
Speaker 3: Joe Hendry. I can do anything. Very charming, charismatic guy,
Speaker 3: very funny, also charming, charismatic. The Worm and Mike Mayer
Speaker 3: on the cycle. Check out the cycle, boys and girls.
Speaker 3: It is a really good time. You want to check
Speaker 3: out the cycle. Every single Thursday that bad boy drops.

Speaker 3: to hear it. So it's very entertaining. Uh, Joe Henry charming,
Speaker 3: this is his like entrance music video.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get copyrighted, all right.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's good. We're just playing it on
Speaker 3: the show. It's a couple of seconds.
Speaker 4: His name, man, he appears. I believe in Joe Hendry.
Speaker 4: I believe in Joe Hendre Lodon and Paris and Tokyo, America,
Speaker 4: Scotland and Canada and Mexico.
Speaker 3: I believe in Joe Dry. I believe in Joe Hendry. Yeah,
Speaker 3: there we go. Let this is this is amazing stuff
Speaker 3: right here. All right, oh, good and strong science.
Speaker 2: Believe in Joe Hendry.
Speaker 3: Alright, Well, you know he looks like Aaron Rodgers. By
Speaker 3: the way, he's got like a weird quality.
Speaker 2: No, he looked like he looked like blonde, dyed haired
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3: You gotta got a bit the Joe Hendry video.
Speaker 2: Pretty Oh, it's a great climate. I'm motivated. But I'm
Speaker 2: telling you you Aaron Rodgers in a room.
Speaker 3: See everybody, and it's gone viral. It's huge. It's got
Speaker 3: the besides Cody Rhoades winning at WrestleMania. It's the second
Speaker 3: highest uh video on any wrestling YouTube channel because people
Speaker 3: just watch it every day, because it's not it's kind
Speaker 3: of injury is not always hilarious. Some of them are
Speaker 3: code I senga code icenga for twenty two pitches in
Speaker 3: a successful bullpen session yesterday, so we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 3: David Fry day to day is right elbow bothering him,
Speaker 3: so he's come down a little bit to earth recently too.
Speaker 3: Fernando Tatiste was out of the lineup on Sunday. They
Speaker 3: said he was available. Triceps squad kind of beat up
Speaker 3: a little bit. We'll see. We asked us yesterday and
Speaker 3: we got an answer. The baseball gods are listening. Matt
Speaker 3: McClain is close to re zuming swinging a bat Welsh.
Speaker 3: Here you go your first batt McClean News and forever.
Speaker 3: That's amazing.
Speaker 2: I should go to. I want to know the Reds Complex.
Speaker 2: He's probably hanging out there.
Speaker 3: I believe in. Yeah, clean, the guitar solo things just
Speaker 3: so good, just great. That's gonna be in your head
Speaker 3: all day.
Speaker 2: But actually, really it's kind of like our ai song.
Speaker 2: I think I made that. That was amazing.
Speaker 3: It probably did. Philly's put Taiwan Walker on the I
Speaker 3: l with a right index finger inflammation. Gen Carl Stanton
Speaker 3: goes on the I l this was really annoying, Welsh,
Speaker 3: really annoying because if Domingus had just been healthy, this
Speaker 3: would have been it, like this would have been Domingu's territory.
Speaker 2: I think I literally said this. I'm like Jean Carlistan's
Speaker 2: gonna get hurt and Jason's gonna come up. You think
Speaker 2: him up, this is why you want him. And we
Speaker 2: got the official word. By the way, Dominga's out for eight.
Speaker 3: Weeks, so yeah, drop him. I mean that's it, drop
Speaker 3: him fast. We also have Brandon laou Broke write Pinky Toe,
Speaker 3: but he's gonna play through it because nothing could really
Speaker 3: do for that. I don't think he's gonna play today,
Speaker 3: but we'll see. I'm and Rosario, Well, this was a
Speaker 3: scary one too. Got hit by Jared Jones pitch over
Speaker 3: the weekend. Not good, but he is okay, which is
Speaker 3: very good. Apparently Eloya Man is getting activated today. Welsh,
Speaker 3: so over under on the forty Times, Pase.
Speaker 2: Joe, I think you you might have missed this. He
Speaker 2: was denivated this weekend and I think he's going back
Speaker 2: on the il he played.
Speaker 3: This week because of the hamstring.
Speaker 2: He got activated and he got hits. And remember the
Speaker 2: video I shared my little virally video of him running.
Speaker 2: He did that this weekend on the bass paths and
Speaker 2: they said they're worried. I think they're considered. I don't
Speaker 2: know if they re put him back on, but I
Speaker 2: think they're reconsidering it because the guy got.
Speaker 3: Activated yesterday Sunday. So and then wait, but he hasn't
Speaker 3: officially gone on the IL. I don't see that here.
Speaker 2: No, no, he has an officially. I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: know if they're going to. But like he's he's currently
Speaker 2: day to day is what they mark. But everybody got
Speaker 2: what I saw a week and a half ago in Complex.
Speaker 2: He physically cannot run.
Speaker 3: He can't.
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened they put him out there.
Speaker 2: He cannot run at all. So I don't I think
Speaker 2: they might put it. He might be back out here.
Speaker 2: He's I think I saw someone he can be. Complex
Speaker 2: League Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: Jordan Romano shut down from throwing because of the elbow soreness.
Speaker 3: So again, when Yimmy's out, Chad Green's the guy and
Speaker 3: Hazeus Lozardo four to six weeks, he's gonna be out.
Speaker 3: He has a Uh, a lat issue, I believe right, Lom,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. A lumbar stress reaction, That's what it was. Sure,
Speaker 3: lumbar's back sounds back. He's a backy out of me.
Speaker 3: But there goes. So the Blue Jays waited and who
Speaker 3: knows what's gonna have a bobasht The Marlins played chicken
Speaker 3: with Lizardo because remember Craigmish told us everybody was knocking
Speaker 3: down the door for Lozardo in March.
Speaker 2: He said this weekend he's now not getting traded either.
Speaker 2: He said Lozardo won't get traded because of this injury,
Speaker 2: which is I mean, yeah, he was the number one guy.
Speaker 3: To go unbelievable. You know what else has to go?
Speaker 3: The best bets of the day with Joey p and
Speaker 3: the Welsh go to bet three sixty five bet five bucks,
Speaker 3: get one hundred and fifteen bonus bets when you use
Speaker 3: the promo code leading off Welsh. We'll run through the
Speaker 3: bets for today. Hopefully it's a fresh starts, a fresh week.
Speaker 3: I'm looking for Toaj Bradley over six and a half
Speaker 3: strikeouts against Seattle, a team that has struck out one
Speaker 3: of the most in Major League baseball. It's minus one
Speaker 3: thirty six. You need a little juice there. So if
Speaker 3: you want to get a little bit and the plus,
Speaker 3: put the Rays on the money line, maybe you get
Speaker 3: everything come true for you. Philly's on the run line
Speaker 3: minus one and a half plus one oh two against Detroit.
Speaker 3: It's on the road, but still a good situation there
Speaker 3: for them. Today, Casey my is on the mount and
Speaker 3: I think some of those lefty bats are gonna beat
Speaker 3: him up little bit. Also, I'm gonna go the under
Speaker 3: eight and a half Toronto versus Boss and he got
Speaker 3: Bassett and Hawk on the mound. Those guys have pitched
Speaker 3: pretty well getting plus money on this, which actually kind
Speaker 3: of surprised me. So give me the under eight and
Speaker 3: a half. This feels very much like a three to
Speaker 3: one to two one kind of game to me between
Speaker 3: Bassett and how So those are my best bets of
Speaker 3: the day. Welsh, what do you have for the people? Actually?
Speaker 2: I like that under that's a that's a cheeky play.
Speaker 2: By the way, we should have done the open where
Speaker 2: we did the Johindri Open. It's the best bit of
Speaker 2: the day day. My voice as my voices went, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's why we need to do it together, all right,
Speaker 2: So my bets, I actually took the weekend off recharge
Speaker 2: the betting batteries and we're back. Then we were gifted
Speaker 2: an actual K prop that I like. All these K
Speaker 2: props have been so difficult lately. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I would go into the realm of laddering necessarily, though
Speaker 2: I'm open to it today. Give me Cole Reagans six
Speaker 2: and a half over on the strikeouts. It's not juice.
Speaker 2: There's so many that have got big juice on it.
Speaker 2: This is around minus one fifteen. He's been going into
Speaker 2: the one hundred pitch range. Again, Marlin's a team high
Speaker 2: k rate, high chase rate. I really like this one
Speaker 2: from Cole Reagan's today, and I may even do I
Speaker 2: didn't do it here, but I might do my you know,
Speaker 2: pair downs. So get Cole Reagan's at six. I actually
Speaker 2: was gonna pair it with your Todd Bradley at six,
Speaker 2: but the alt strikeouts at six are juice to hell
Speaker 2: for Bradley, so it's just not really good. You literally
Speaker 2: almost get better odds of going Reagans at six and
Speaker 2: a half than pairing those two together. Down. I'm with you.
Speaker 2: On Philly. I'm gonna go with the Phillies run line
Speaker 2: minus one and a half like that play, and then
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play another one. I will tell you I
Speaker 2: contemplated doing a moneyline parlay with the Phillies and the
Speaker 2: Padres might still but I'm gonna play the Padres at
Speaker 2: minus one and a half as well. Matt Waldron has
Speaker 2: been kind of that dude lately. That is a plus
Speaker 2: money play, So plus one oh eight. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: with San Diego run line, Philly run line cole Reagans
Speaker 2: six and a half strikeouts over maybe more bettingpros dot
Speaker 2: Com slash Welsh Betting Pros dot Com slash joe to

Speaker 3: home runs. I had one. I'm up to twenty one,
Speaker 3: but again now we got l scale up to twenty

Speaker 3: for your home run call for today?
Speaker 2: Give me matt Olsen. I'm playing the same one. I
