Speaker 1: is the well shit, It's you, the Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks,
Speaker 1: everybody is here. I apologize, I set the timer. I
Speaker 1: forgot to hit the go live button with the timer,
Speaker 1: so people are gonna start filtering in now for the show,
Speaker 1: so we'll be a little patient with all you Peanuts
Speaker 1: and cracker Jacks. In the meantime, Welsh, you survived the
Speaker 1: water park. I'm very excited to have you here. The
Speaker 1: question is how do you feel? Have you taken the temperature?
Speaker 1: Have you done some wellness checks? What's going on?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean so far.
Speaker 3: I don't have the whatever I'm gonna get, it'll probably
Speaker 3: happen this weekend, just in time for Monday. But yes,
Speaker 3: if you're wondering, we had fun, all the money's gone
Speaker 3: and come back to the chaos of the world. I'm
Speaker 3: glad to Bogman was able to fill in. Did you
Speaker 3: guys have fun? Did you in the week did fun.
Speaker 1: I mean not as much as having, you know, fifteen
Speaker 1: dollars nachos fun.
Speaker 2: But we had seventeen dollars nachos.
Speaker 1: Oh stop, shut up.
Speaker 3: Seventeen dollars. They were in a pizza box. And I
Speaker 3: was like, oh, these are gonna be amazing. And then
Speaker 3: I looked and it was like, take all the cheap
Speaker 3: nacho and greet you know, the circle little chip, the
Speaker 3: cheap cheese like Walmart, like dollar olives, and they just
Speaker 3: dumped it all in a pizza box and they called it,
Speaker 3: you know, super nachos or whatever.
Speaker 1: Like the idea of the pizza box though, that's kind
Speaker 1: of clever. Do you get like other stuff on it?
Speaker 1: Like oh no, I'm not meat, of course, not for you,
Speaker 1: but I mean if you like loaded up the nachos,
Speaker 1: you know, like the pizza box idea.
Speaker 2: It was fine. It was all fine. I'm fine. We
Speaker 2: drank a lot.
Speaker 1: That was really fun. I'm good.
Speaker 2: I'm good.
Speaker 3: Everything is good. We're back here. I could stop spending
Speaker 3: money and I can start making it.
Speaker 1: One more question about the water park. Did anybody have
Speaker 1: an unfortunate funny slip and fall, either you or someone
Speaker 1: else you saw, because that's usually also one of the
Speaker 1: joys of the water park.
Speaker 3: That's a great question. That is actually the question. There
Speaker 3: was nothing crazy. There was no major injuries, though. I
Speaker 3: will tell you I got infuriated mad the last day
Speaker 3: because we did all this stuff the first day. Second
Speaker 3: we're you know, spending half of the day there and
Speaker 3: we bought said nachos again. My son wanted the nachos,
Speaker 3: but this time we bought, not we split it. We
Speaker 3: bought the nachos, We got Bavarian pretzel, I got some fries.
Speaker 3: We're all sitting there and we've got a seat right
Speaker 3: in front.
Speaker 2: Of the say that the wave pool.
Speaker 3: There's big a wave thing, and they got all the
Speaker 3: chairs and this kid comes over and there's those like
Speaker 3: water spouts that are coming up, and all these kids
Speaker 3: kept coming over and standing under it and just having
Speaker 3: a go right into their crotches and everything, and you
Speaker 3: just have to be like, this is normal. And then
Speaker 3: one kid comes over and steps on it and it
Speaker 3: just sprayed all over us, everything drenched our food, and
Speaker 3: I I started parenting someone that wasn't my kid.
Speaker 1: I was like, what the all the so he splashed
Speaker 1: or he was he was working it on the Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: In there and it just annihilated us and all of
Speaker 3: our food and it was like fifty dollars of food
Speaker 3: down the windows.
Speaker 2: Very it was very upsetting, very upset.
Speaker 1: This is a good question from Fred Welsh. Did you
Speaker 1: collect five hundred arcade points for one hundred dollars and
Speaker 1: cash him in for a penny candy or maybe an eraser?
Speaker 1: Eraser is always. We did avoid.
Speaker 3: We did avoid the the arcade and that is tremendous.
Speaker 2: Just you know, a disaster it was. But the whole
Speaker 2: time we did the slides, we did the craziness.
Speaker 3: Got my phone wet. I have some videos of me
Speaker 3: going down slides. It's a great time.
Speaker 2: But I missed all of you. I missed all the
Speaker 2: I We missed you too.
Speaker 1: And good news for those who keep asking me too.
Speaker 1: The Black Book is completed. It will be uploaded today.
Speaker 1: It'll be available this weekend for football for those of
Speaker 1: you who are asking. But we got more important things.
Speaker 1: Hell or high water is right, let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker is back. He started to turn things around.
Speaker 1: We talked about on yesterday's show and we were talking
Speaker 1: about out how the rumblings were there. So if you
Speaker 1: were listening to the show. Then you know, of course
Speaker 1: that Jordan Walker, who you know, he struggled. It's okay,
Speaker 1: It's okay for a rookie to come up and struggle,
Speaker 1: I would say over the last twelve games, though not
Speaker 1: so much a struggle at TRIPA for him. He had
Speaker 1: over two ninety fourteen for forty eight with three homers
Speaker 1: over the last twelve games since May eighteen. So whatever
Speaker 1: it is that needed to be fixed, it's been fixed
Speaker 1: with Jordan Walker. So I think it's very safe to
Speaker 1: go back in the pool. Again. The question is too
Speaker 1: you know, how available is he either on waiver wires
Speaker 1: or on trades I imagine shallow leagues. He's probably available.
Speaker 1: I would add him, especially because he probably qualifies at
Speaker 1: third pace, and to me, while that's a big value
Speaker 1: with Walker, if he could just get right, that qualification
Speaker 1: at third base is a huge win in fantasy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we actually Bugan and I had taken a look
Speaker 3: at this. He's around forty one percent in Yahoo owned
Speaker 3: yesterday because we were doing a show I TL show
Speaker 3: as the news broke, and at that moment he was
Speaker 3: forty one percent, which kind of still tells you he
Speaker 3: might be out there. You know Walker was good on
Speaker 3: this back half, but the totality of triple A wasn't.
Speaker 3: He ended up only hitting two thirty nine this year
Speaker 3: when he got sent down. Strikeouts were okay, but it
Speaker 3: was his defense was the big thing. I'm encouraged about this.
Speaker 3: I'm overall encouraged about this, just because, like there's a
Speaker 3: disaster happening in Saint Louis, and you know, God knows
Speaker 3: if Tyler O'Neal is ever gonna play with this team again,
Speaker 3: and what's going on.
Speaker 2: Burlson and.
Speaker 3: Donovan have both kind of cooled off. There's a spot
Speaker 3: now for them to just make the commitment. And the
Speaker 3: commitment is here, you.
Speaker 2: Know, like this is it?
Speaker 3: Like you don't bring him back up after this and
Speaker 3: then bring him back down. So I think whatever it
Speaker 3: is they do, he's sticking around. I'm gonna buy back
Speaker 3: in on Jordan Walker, especially for all the people that
Speaker 3: got like super disappointed and you know, they made their
Speaker 3: investments and they're just kind of like arnery about the
Speaker 3: whole situation.
Speaker 2: I've got a fantastic when we haven't even.
Speaker 3: Released our il pod yet, I was gonna bring this
Speaker 3: question up, and I'm gonna ask you because this guy's
Speaker 3: name is popping up in the chat. Would you rather
Speaker 3: have rest of season Walker or Chris Morel. Chris mores
Speaker 3: won for eighteen right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's why, because you know me, I don't
Speaker 1: like the Javier Bias profile. I don't like the you know,
Speaker 1: the true outcomes profile. Guy. I don't care for that.
Speaker 1: That's not my bag. I understand those players can be fun,
Speaker 1: but the problem is I just don't like the ups
Speaker 1: and downs that you have to go through. I think
Speaker 1: Walker is a very polish hitter. I think Walker just
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a you know, a tough
Speaker 1: first run. They didn't have much patience with him. I
Speaker 1: think that was wrong. I think you got to play
Speaker 1: a gated every day. You got to let him go
Speaker 1: through some stuff. Volpi's going through some stuff and the
Speaker 1: Yankees will be better off in the long term. For
Speaker 1: this first season of Volpi struggling. People forget Derek Jeter
Speaker 1: struggled mightily. You know, people are talking about sending his
Speaker 1: ass down back in the day.
Speaker 2: Like Mike trut famously.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it goes so many so often.
Speaker 1: You know you're just better off of you just let
Speaker 1: the kids play if you really do truly believe in
Speaker 1: the prospect profile, and I think the Cardinals do. I
Speaker 1: think we do. I think everybody around baseball believes in
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker's hitting profile, So just give him some time.
Speaker 1: But with no hesitation.
Speaker 3: For me, it's Walker, Yeah, and I think I think,
Speaker 3: you know, the thirty games or whatever he was sent down.
Speaker 3: This fixes that, whatever the defensive liability was, whatever they're
Speaker 3: going to commit to, look like they wanted him to
Speaker 3: be right field. Stick him back over there. Hopefully that's done.
Speaker 3: I would just be curious if Mayor is here. I
Speaker 3: would love it if you could post one of your
Speaker 3: famous polls that you can put and send us the results.
Speaker 3: I'd love to know if you could put a poll
Speaker 3: out there of Chris Morrell or Jordan Walker rest of
Speaker 3: the year, so we could come back to that and
Speaker 3: see what people have to say.
Speaker 1: You know, Tough Talk with the Teachers podcast is in
Speaker 1: the chats, as they always are. I think it's time
Speaker 1: to have a tough talk with Tough Talk because they
Speaker 1: said that they traded ped Alonzo two weeks ago and
Speaker 1: then got red hot, and obviously are not too happy
Speaker 1: about that. Why do you trade assets, guys? Like Pete Alonzo.
Speaker 1: Like when you have first round, second round talent guys,
Speaker 1: you're kind of that's your commitment to those players. Now
Speaker 1: I understand. Like Trade Turner, for instance, the top five guy, frustrating,
Speaker 1: We've been talking about trading for him. I just wrote
Speaker 1: that up on fanacybros. Dot Com in the trade article
Speaker 1: this week, like I am all over trading for Trade
Speaker 1: Turner and Welsh knows Trade Turner is never my favorite guy,
Speaker 1: but it's the classic big contract struggle nonsense. By the
Speaker 1: second half of the year, when he settles in, it'll
Speaker 1: be a distant memory. The Phillies have been awful. They
Speaker 1: just got swept by the Mets. The Phillies will eventually
Speaker 1: figure things out. Oh Kyle Schwarber ever will But I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy signed an enormous contract that he's not worth
Speaker 1: there I said it, sorry, So there's a lot of
Speaker 1: pressure on a guy. But at the same time, when
Speaker 1: you and make investments guys like Pete A. Lonzo, as
Speaker 1: long as the home run total still there and it
Speaker 1: was forget what the batting average is. Eventually that a
Speaker 1: lot come back. I feel like, yall, he's a big
Speaker 1: mistake people make. Is trading their franchise players too soon
Speaker 1: in the season, because oftentimes it does come back to
Speaker 1: bite you.
Speaker 3: Well, we are right at the moment right now of like, okay,
Speaker 3: sample size makes enough sense.
Speaker 1: Sure me.
Speaker 3: I'm not making dramatic moves in the first six seven weeks.
Speaker 3: So I mean, if you said, you know you did
Speaker 3: this too weeks ago or whatever it was, it's like six.
Speaker 2: Weeks ish into the season.
Speaker 3: I'm not making a move off of a player that
Speaker 3: I invested in that high. I don't mean to do
Speaker 3: this again, but slight little plug to the end this
Speaker 3: league pod which is dropping today. What we did was
Speaker 3: we did a redraft of the first two rounds. Joe
Speaker 3: and I thought you'd be interested in that we redrafted
Speaker 3: those and you know, thinking about that in the sheet
Speaker 3: for Monday.
Speaker 1: Let's let's do that one day or too over the results.
Speaker 1: I want to see the results.
Speaker 3: Trade Turner and Pee Alonzo both still in it. It
Speaker 3: was me, Frank Stanfele and Bogman drafting this and in
Speaker 3: the top thirty picks we kept Pete Alonzo and Trey
Speaker 3: Turner in there, with a few new names that weren't
Speaker 3: in there before. But this is what happens, you know,
Speaker 3: And this is the marker right now, this is why,
Speaker 3: like after memorially this is the most important.
Speaker 1: But like I'm not, I'm not worried about Trey Turner.
Speaker 1: Someone is and they're going to trade him, and that's
Speaker 1: a bad move. Two weeks ago people were getting worried
Speaker 1: because pe Alonzo got stone cold. It doesn't matter. Peter
Speaker 1: Anzo will figure it out. Like there's a certain guys
Speaker 1: you just think they're the best players in baseball for reason.
Speaker 1: It's very you get one of those first second round
Speaker 1: guys that really just has an awful season as long
Speaker 1: as they're healthy. Health is usually the biggest Also, you
Speaker 1: asked if Mayor's in the chat, by the way, he
Speaker 1: is here he is. Derek Jeter struggled, But then mat
Speaker 1: should complete the most overrated career of all time. Oh,
Speaker 1: Mike Maher spoken like a true Red Sox fan. If
Speaker 1: ever there was one, I mean really three thousand hits.
Speaker 3: I think Also just last thing on that thing, probably
Speaker 3: important to know the context because like you can trade
Speaker 3: Peter Alonzo, you can trade these guys. Corvin Burns, I
Speaker 3: think is a perfect example of like a guy that
Speaker 3: started pictures are different.
Speaker 1: See, the pitchers are a different animal because year over
Speaker 1: year there's so many you know, are they healthy are
Speaker 1: they not? Especially this year with the shift change and
Speaker 1: all the things, there were so many new variables. The
Speaker 1: hit or profile, that's the one where the back of
Speaker 1: the baseball card thing that to me is always true
Speaker 1: for the most part. Yeah, Like you go back and
Speaker 1: the guys, you know, especially the guys in their prime.
Speaker 1: It's one thing of a players a little older, getting
Speaker 1: into their mid thirties. Then we could start to have
Speaker 1: that conversation or the ind decline. You know, Josea Bray,
Speaker 1: you might be the definitive version of that. Uh. And
Speaker 1: sometimes guys just have enormous drop offs. Not that he
Speaker 1: was a first or second round talent. Pictures different position players,
Speaker 1: early investment guys. To me, I'm hanging on to them.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 3: All I'm saying is is like, you can make the trade,
Speaker 3: but the context of what you traded is important here
Speaker 3: because if you trade Pee Alonzo and then you're pissed
Speaker 3: that he started getting hot, that's the wrong approach. But
Speaker 3: if you traded Pee Alonzo knowing like he might pick
Speaker 3: it back up, there's forty homers but I went out
Speaker 3: and got whatever I got, Mitch Keller and some other
Speaker 3: cool thing.
Speaker 1: Mitch Keller last two starts as a pretty big era.
Speaker 2: Just say.
Speaker 3: I'm saying is that the context is like you trade
Speaker 3: the guy and then you're annoyed by it. That's where
Speaker 3: I think you did the trade wrong, because then you
Speaker 3: came from it like, oh, I'm definitely trying to get
Speaker 3: the hell out of pe de Alonzo, and that's probably
Speaker 3: not what I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: The chat is going crazy now because the overrated Derek
Speaker 1: Jeter conversation. I'm not taking a side. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I lived in New York area, watch a lot of
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter did a lot of amazing things
Speaker 1: every day. Is he overrated because of the championship in
Speaker 1: fact play in the Yankees? Maybe? Maybe, But I mean
Speaker 1: who doesn't vote? I mean, how do you not vote
Speaker 1: for him for the whole of fame or any that's
Speaker 1: like that? To me is just like it's a no brainer. Easy.
Speaker 3: By the way, we also have a poll poll result
Speaker 3: in the first couple of minutes, and Mayer said landslide
Speaker 3: eighty one percent Jordan Walker over Chris Morrell.
Speaker 1: H okay, that's and hence my no hesitation, all right, Wesse,
Speaker 1: some hesitation Chris Sale. You know, just when we thought
Speaker 1: it was safe to go back in the pool again,
Speaker 1: Chris Sale was removed Thursday, left shoulder sword in this
Speaker 1: so hold your collective breath. Something was wrong, Glossy was down,
Speaker 1: and it seemed like he had really rediscovered himself. And
Speaker 1: it's and you know, Welsh, I gotta say, you know,
Speaker 1: this was one of those dudes that he had the
Speaker 1: big red X for me this year. Going into the season,
Speaker 1: I had zero shares of Chris Sale. Didn't want anything
Speaker 1: to do with him. He was thirty four years old.
Speaker 1: To me, it's like, okay, enough already, this is gonna
Speaker 1: be the downside of Chris. I don't know where we're
Speaker 1: gonna be, but we don't have information on it yet.
Speaker 1: I would plan for an absence, folks, I would be
Speaker 1: planning right now. I would not wait, because the longer
Speaker 1: you wait, the less leverage you have. Max Scherzer shruck
Speaker 1: out a season high nine batters. He's been excelled in
Speaker 1: his last two starts, one earned run, seven innings in
Speaker 1: a win over the Fields, and Kyle Tucker went three
Speaker 1: for four with two runs scored over to the rookie. Lookie,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Royce Lewis because he went one for
Speaker 1: four with a two run bomb. Joey Gallo can't hit
Speaker 1: water if we fell out of Bodia seventeen strikeouts, seventeen
Speaker 1: in is last seven days, you want to know, you
Speaker 1: want to talk about that? Well, can we talk about
Speaker 1: Joey Gallo or some other twins that can't hit at all?
Speaker 2: I ever want to talk about Joey gallow.
Speaker 3: I love talking about Royce Lewis though, like I did
Speaker 3: in the trade video this week.
Speaker 1: Ah, here's a question for you, Royce Lewis or Jordan
Speaker 1: Walker rest of season because somebody asked me that this
Speaker 1: morning on Twitter, and I said Royce Lewis because I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure that he doesn't come out of the lineup.
Speaker 1: Is Correa is hurt and Joey Gallo can't hit, and
Speaker 1: all these other guys, I mean Byron Buxton's Byron, but
Speaker 1: they need him. And if if Royce Lewis hits, Royce
Speaker 1: Lowis is staying in the lineup. The whole cardinal thing
Speaker 1: is always weird with the moving pieces they have.
Speaker 3: That is a great question because you know, Royce Lewis
Speaker 3: is gonna take the stolen bases, and I think it
Speaker 3: can be significant. I think Royce is the type of
Speaker 3: guy that can get twenty through the rest of this year.
Speaker 3: He will hit a handful of homers he's got He's
Speaker 3: got five tool in him and they've already been hitting
Speaker 3: him five. What is Jordan Walker's max at this point
Speaker 3: this year? Probably hitting six, five, five or six that's
Speaker 3: the maxim. Yeah, probably with a lot of guys there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and they got you know, they like to
Speaker 2: Nolan Gorman's been hitting.
Speaker 1: That's not a bad thing Welsh because when you have
Speaker 1: better players around you, for younger players, sometimes that takes
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure off and you got guys ahead
Speaker 1: of you get on bass. The Twins getting on bass
Speaker 1: is a big problem. I mean there towards the bottom
Speaker 1: and run score, if memory serves yet. You know, the
Speaker 1: pitchings really held them together, although lately that pitching's comming
Speaker 1: a part of the seams. Pablo Lopez again another rough
Speaker 1: outing for him. We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: Very torn on this one, I think too.
Speaker 1: I said Lewis, But again I think it's talent.
Speaker 3: I don't like to overreact, and I think the I
Speaker 3: think the right answer is probably Jordan Walker.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Royce Lewis, I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna do that because he does have the I think
Speaker 3: it's the third base gig locked.
Speaker 2: And then if you know, anything happens to Korea, they
Speaker 2: can do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3: The five tools, five categories. Obviously Walker has a little
Speaker 3: bit of advantage. I think I'm gonna go with Royce Lewis,
Speaker 3: even though that might be wrong, and I'll site back
Speaker 3: to this when I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: So maybe we need another pole up on the show.
Speaker 1: Maybe we need a poll about is Derek Jeter overrated
Speaker 1: or great? Keep it simple? Great or overrated?
Speaker 2: And then Royce Lewis or Jordan Walker, George.
Speaker 1: Bryce Lewis, Jordana. I want all the polls say it's
Speaker 1: some more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, let's.
Speaker 1: Get some more. By the way, Royce Lewis three oh eight,
Speaker 1: batting average eight forty six. Uh, plugging in first thirteen
Speaker 1: A bat's not bad.
Speaker 2: And then water park food or gas station food.
Speaker 1: Water park food still unless although gas station by me,
Speaker 1: there's wah wah gas stations by me, so clearly wah wah.
Speaker 1: If that's the case, that's.
Speaker 3: That Wawa's probably like, do you guys have QT in
Speaker 3: the East Coast?
Speaker 1: No, but we have something called Royal Farms, and Royal
Speaker 1: Farms makes fried chicken that is unbelievably good. That's like
Speaker 1: part of their whole brand. They're like a gas station
Speaker 1: sax stop, but they have a whole like it's like
Speaker 1: a KFC ish kind of thing. They make their own
Speaker 1: like chicken strips and things like that and biscuit. It's
Speaker 1: really good.
Speaker 3: I think QT is like your wah wah out here.
Speaker 3: It's the one where they like they always have to
Speaker 3: talk to you, and they're like and they got like, oh,
Speaker 3: nobody has to talk to me.
Speaker 1: I order on a screen. I don't. I don't have
Speaker 1: to do anything. Okay.
Speaker 3: So it looks like there's qt's in the lant like QT.
Speaker 3: I think you can trust a QT, not like a
Speaker 3: seven eleven. Like you're not gonna get food at THEO.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be sick for quality.
Speaker 1: Is that what it's for?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Q's gone, Joe, I don't know. We're not looking for
Speaker 2: Q anymore.
Speaker 1: Thank god. All right, injuries, let's look for Carlos Carey
Speaker 1: because you can't find him either again reaggravated this plant
Speaker 1: or fascia on this heel O God, Carlos Carre my.
Speaker 2: Reason why Royce Lewis.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's like, I just feel like
Speaker 1: Royce Lewis's path is just gonna be like you can't
Speaker 1: take the kid out like no matter what you end
Speaker 1: up doing. Byron Bucks did was removed from Thursday's game
Speaker 1: with ribswreness. That's sad, like Barron Bucks. It makes me
Speaker 1: depressed at this point.
Speaker 2: I don't know he didn't like like.
Speaker 1: R Justin Steel dealing with that forearm. They say he
Speaker 1: might only missing one start. Welsh, we talked about this
Speaker 1: at length yesterday about this Justin Steel thing. Forearm things
Speaker 1: are typically not good. They keep saying it's not a
Speaker 1: big deal, it's not a big deal. I am terrified
Speaker 1: of this, Welsh. What is your feeling about this whole
Speaker 1: situation with Justin Steel in the forum? Because they're not
Speaker 1: giving us a lot of information except it's a big deal.
Speaker 1: It's fine, everything's fine, and that does not make me
Speaker 1: feel good.
Speaker 2: I try.
Speaker 3: The only reason I'm gonna trust it is because they're
Speaker 3: saying he should be good for the start when I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying what it was. Is it a strain,
Speaker 1: is it a cramp? Like? What was it? I can't
Speaker 1: find anywhere what exactly it is. He was having forearm pain.
Speaker 3: I mean, I saw war pain yesterday from the slides
Speaker 3: and oh yeah, yeah, I had muscle It was crazy.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe he was at the it was
Speaker 2: on the water slide and pushing. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but maybe they're sitting right on top
Speaker 1: of one of those spouts too long.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe just dude, I'm telling you, there's this kid.
Speaker 2: He and it was creepy.
Speaker 1: Every like does that. Every kid does that and we.
Speaker 3: Know why you're doing a kid, And he like looked
Speaker 3: at me while he was doing it, and I looked
Speaker 3: away and I was like, this is gross. And then
Speaker 3: like I kind of looked back and he was still
Speaker 3: looking and I was just like, I got to get
Speaker 3: that out of here, Like this is too much.
Speaker 1: It's like that, you know the clip and Billy Madison,
Speaker 1: like when he's having all the parties, he goes over
Speaker 1: and he sits on this brink corning.
Speaker 2: That's like that's like what this was happening?
Speaker 1: Like that?
Speaker 3: That is actually maybe the most underrated horrible thing about
Speaker 3: water Parks is having to watch all of these people
Speaker 3: just let.
Speaker 2: Spouts just spout up, if you know.
Speaker 3: But because they said that, Steele is going to go,
Speaker 3: I'm not going to like harp and focus on it
Speaker 3: and freak out.
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, all right, let's continue on here
Speaker 1: with the show. All good injury front Tristan McKenzie. It's
Speaker 1: gonna pitch on Sunday, so that's exciting. Also, Donaldson John
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton both getting activated for the Yankees as they
Speaker 1: play the Dodgers this weekend. That should be a really
Speaker 1: fun series. And Chris Bryant, another guy makes me depressed.
Speaker 1: Now he goes to the ten day il, it's retroactive
Speaker 1: to the thirty first he got that heel bruise. He's
Speaker 1: hitting two sixty three, three forty six, three seventy four
Speaker 1: slash so far. Welsh, I know, once upon a time,
Speaker 1: you're a big Chris Bryant guy, Like when he first
Speaker 1: came up, you were very big on Chris Bryant, as
Speaker 1: many people were. Would you call Chris Bryant's career a
Speaker 1: disappointment at this point. I think he can right. I
Speaker 1: think it's been more bad than good.
Speaker 3: Based on expectations. If you didn't have any expectations of
Speaker 3: Chris Bryant and you were like, wow, this guy was
Speaker 3: like an MVP and dada up, maybe you would feel
Speaker 3: differently like he's actually it is crazy. He's almost on
Speaker 3: his tenth season and he's failed to reach two hundred homers.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess.
Speaker 3: I guess like, yeah, I'm not gonna like beat around it,
Speaker 3: like yeah, sure, it's a disappointment because it's like he
Speaker 3: is literally never in off of that one season, and
Speaker 3: I you know, I've had a couple of good breakouts
Speaker 3: thing calls this year.
Speaker 2: This is not one of them.
Speaker 3: I really thought he was going to be able to
Speaker 3: bounce back. I was really encouraged by the batting average.
Speaker 3: Didn't care about the no homer things from last year.
Speaker 3: And he's just so mediocre. He's just a mediocre ass
Speaker 3: player and that's all that you should treat him as.
Speaker 3: And you know, he was drafted in the top one hundred.
Speaker 3: He's not going to beat that. He's ten team leagues.
Speaker 3: I don't know, there's probably better streaming out. You could
Speaker 3: stream him, I think at that point. But he's mediocre
Speaker 3: as hell.
Speaker 1: By the way, the poll results are in for the Jeter,
Speaker 1: fifty two percent say overrated.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you know what, let's see it now, though
Speaker 3: that isn't interesting. In only five minutes did the poll?
Speaker 3: I guess it ended or did it end because it
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mayor probably waited for it to go above fifty percent.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. That's all it was down here.
Speaker 1: We also love when new people joined the show for
Speaker 1: the first time here live casein Case and High Tower
Speaker 1: if that is your real name. Never knew that I
Speaker 1: was ball apparently so first time seeing the show live,
Speaker 1: no idea joeyp was bald. Well, I'm an international, you know,
Speaker 1: star of television. I mean, I don't understand, like I'm
Speaker 1: all over the place first time seeing this beautiful bald
Speaker 1: head of mine.
Speaker 2: I mean, what were you watching?
Speaker 1: Now? Yeah? You know, sometimes I have the beard, sometimes
Speaker 1: I don't, Case And but you know, the head's been
Speaker 1: bald since two thousand and five, no haircuts and so five.
Speaker 3: I have never known you with hair, though I've seen pictures,
Speaker 3: I've seen the hair pictures.
Speaker 1: Yes, very yeah, Mal get Ethan to make a graphic
Speaker 1: of me with hair maybe for another time. If we
Speaker 1: get to fourteen thousand subs, that will be everybody that
Speaker 1: that's what we'll do. We're getting really close on Fantasypros
Speaker 1: dot com or what well on our YouTube channel for
Speaker 1: MLB thirteen point seven. I think so we're getting real
Speaker 1: close to fourteen K. We get to fourteen K, I
Speaker 1: promise pictures of JOEYP with hair I will put out.
Speaker 1: They will get a whole graphic made up. Let's do
Speaker 1: three up and three down. They will get to prize
Speaker 1: picks A. Fernando Tatiste doubled three times, knocked in four runs.
Speaker 1: He's hot. Joe Musgrove also goot outing from him. Kevin
Speaker 1: Gossman eleven strikeouts man, He's got some huge strikeout games
Speaker 1: this year. It's been absolutely picked acular, red det meurs,
Speaker 1: falls zhero and five still winless on the year. He's
Speaker 1: got a five ERA four earned runs for him. Kyle
Speaker 1: Schwarber over four. Guess that batting average is down to
Speaker 1: what Welsh one sixty one sixty for Kyle Schwarber. Him
Speaker 1: and Chris Sale my two biggest day aways feels good,
Speaker 1: feels pretty good. I like Lopez.
Speaker 3: I mean I'll eat Crow. It's completely wrong. But no,
Speaker 3: June is the turnaround time. It's the time to click.
Speaker 2: Will today be the start?
Speaker 1: Joe Pablo Lopez five and two thirds six earned runs.
Speaker 1: He has been wonky and not like the good penguin kind.
Speaker 1: He's just been wonky lately. So to pick that, you know,
Speaker 1: it's never wonky. Prize picks always amazing. Go out there,
Speaker 1: use that promo code leading off. Sign up. We're gonna

Speaker 1: Well should I have fun with this? I can't do
Speaker 1: it because I'm in New Jersey, So please for me.
Speaker 1: Go make some prize picks everybody. But I've got Tyler
Speaker 1: Glass now, six pitcher strikeouts over against Boston today. I
Speaker 1: think the hair is gonna go out of that bubble
Speaker 1: when they get some cross sale news. Today it's Catsto
Speaker 1: six pitcher strikeouts over against Texas and Fernando Tatist, who's
Speaker 1: red Hot eight and a half hitter fantasy points. I
Speaker 1: like the over on that because again, behind these guys
Speaker 1: on prize picks with a hitter fantasy score, who have power,
Speaker 1: who have speed to score runs, all those things, there's
Speaker 1: lots of ways to win that. It's so much better
Speaker 1: than total bases or things like that, because all you
Speaker 1: you all gotta do is just get fantasy points. There's
Speaker 1: lots of ways for a guy like Tatis, Spookie bets,
Speaker 1: some of those popular choices I've had lately. What do
Speaker 1: you have right now? On the prize pick Sidewash price picks.
Speaker 3: It's all about family. That's what everybody wants you to.
Speaker 3: They want you to the ven Diesel, It's all about family. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's all about family. Mess with family.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm hoping by season nine of Leading Off that
Speaker 1: we are international spies and in outer space.
Speaker 2: That's what wouldn't that be cool if like that was
Speaker 2: our arc?
Speaker 3: Like we you know, we started off it's like Paul
Speaker 3: Walker vind sol it looks like a racing movie, and
Speaker 3: then two years from now, one hundred percent we're like
Speaker 3: racing off of buildings and stuff.
Speaker 1: Totally. I think Mayor thinks I sound bald. Is that
Speaker 1: something one can go and pick up.
Speaker 3: You're yeah, you're like, it's bald in my head now.
Speaker 3: But your voice, you know, I know that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So it's probably a little bit ruined by me, But yeah,
Speaker 3: your voice a little bald, a little baldy fald. Someone
Speaker 3: one time thought like I was like really, They were
Speaker 3: like shocked. They thought I was, oh, yeah, you're like
Speaker 3: you know, they thought it was like some five ft seven.
Speaker 2: Or like, no, I'm crazy.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 3: The price picks I've got today Atlanta Arizona, no run
Speaker 3: first inning, Merle and Charlie Morton. Obviously there's some danger
Speaker 3: there with Ronald Dcunie at the top, but Merl's been
Speaker 3: pretty good. I'm gonna go with Wander Franco run scored,
Speaker 3: just need a run and Garrett Whitlock earned runs over.
Speaker 2: Two and a half to day.
Speaker 3: He likes to do the five to one five to one,
Speaker 3: so it's another five day at least, and how his
Speaker 3: bounce back on earn runs are. So those are my
Speaker 3: three prize picks for today because it's all about family.
Speaker 1: It is all about family, that's what it's about. And
Speaker 1: get beef Curtains is coming after me about them Tai
Speaker 1: Mets thing. Listen, Beef Curtains. Nobody keeps young pitching to
Speaker 1: trade Beef Curtains. None of the contenders have young pitching
Speaker 1: to trade. So if that's your reason why the Mets
Speaker 1: people don't want young pitching in these trades, look at
Speaker 1: what these organizations have done. They want young position players.
Speaker 1: That's how you build an organization. That's how the Astros
Speaker 1: did it and they were great for a while. That's
Speaker 1: how the Cobs did it with Chris Bryant. That's how
Speaker 1: you win championships young position players, and you go buy
Speaker 1: your pitching. You go buy proven pitching that knows how
Speaker 1: to do it. And that's all right. Rich Silva Joe
Speaker 1: three sixteen says, I just whooped her ass. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to the betting for the day too, Welsh,
Speaker 1: What do you have on the betting side.
Speaker 2: For the folks?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: What are we even do it anymore?
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna go back Corbyn burns. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go back to the Corbyn burns. Well, actually I haven't
Speaker 3: done it this year, but pretty I'm pretty cold lately,
Speaker 3: so I'm not gonna lie I'm hoping to turn it
Speaker 3: around here with some of these bets. I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: with Corbyn Burns six and a half strikeouts, it's minus
Speaker 3: one fiftyfeen. I like San Diego up by a run
Speaker 3: through the first five innings today, Michael Waka is on
Speaker 3: the mound, he has been pretty good, going to give
Speaker 3: with Jameson Tai On, who has not been good ever
Speaker 3: so up by half of a run through the first five.
Speaker 3: That's minus one fifteen.
Speaker 2: And then that.
Speaker 3: Arizona game, Atlanta Arizona through the first five innings under
Speaker 3: five runs, minus one fifteen. Again, I like more. I
Speaker 3: think Martin's going to dice up some of the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping Merle can kind of keep it going here.
Speaker 3: So Corby Burns strikeouts, San Diego up by a run
Speaker 3: through the first five, and Atlanta Arizona under total runs
Speaker 3: through the first five. There's a couple other plays in there.
Speaker 3: I think I kind of like San Diego's team total
Speaker 3: runs through the whole game at four and a half.
Speaker 3: I might post a couple others. Look on the Betting
Speaker 3: prosgroup bettingpros dot Com slash.

Speaker 1: four for I got a FEVA and I want to
Speaker 1: What I want to do is I want to invest.
Speaker 1: I want to invest in Tampa tonight. Tyler Glass now
Speaker 1: is now He's a pitcher for the moment. Five and
Speaker 1: a half strikeouts over you put that along with one
Speaker 1: and a half over the run total, and you just
Speaker 1: can also bet the raise and the money line. You

Speaker 1: Tyler Glass now second, the mound, the Rays even fantastic.
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, it's so good. Luis Castillo ten point two,
Speaker 1: Kershaw ten point three. Tricky against the Yankees. You never
Speaker 1: know how that's gonna come out. Logan Web eleven point eleven.
Speaker 1: I think is eleven point one. Excuse me, a little overpriced.
Speaker 1: I think Tonight, I know the matchup could potentially be good,
Speaker 1: but I think Glass now nine point two, Castillo ten
Speaker 1: point two, that's kind of your sweet spot. Tampa, San Diego, Arizona.
Speaker 1: Those are your stacks. And then you got Nolan Jones
Speaker 1: at two point eight, Austin hayes A two point eight,
Speaker 1: McCarthy two point eight, all good investments. I'm going with
Speaker 1: Pine Alonzo for my home run call tonight, Welsh, who
Speaker 1: are you going with your home run call?
Speaker 3: I kind of want to change it, just despite you
Speaker 3: a little bit. I had YONDI Diaz as my spight?

Speaker 4: Corbyn Carroll was critical for my mental health for the
Speaker 4: year because if Corbi Carroll was not good, I wasn't
Speaker 4: going to hear the end of it because it was Carol.
Speaker 3: And then the next level was like Lars new Bar
Speaker 3: and I don't know who else do you guys.
Speaker 2: Like attached to me or whatever?

Speaker 1: Quote this is the this is the comment of the week.
Speaker 1: Here before we close the show out, Michael impo Wa
Speaker 1: was having Shoreberfest hog Fest. In this fest, everything's a fest,
Speaker 1: you know, with the wah wah solid I've never even
Speaker 1: been to.
Speaker 3: Someone did bring up, though, I will say, the most
Speaker 3: jarring of any gas station experience on the planet.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Jeffrey Springs is the other one.
Speaker 1: No one's followed. Someone gets hurt. Yeah, before he got
Speaker 1: hurt last time I checked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was dominating.
Speaker 3: The most jarring gas station experience was when I took
Speaker 3: a trip to Denver, Colorado and Colorado Springs and you
Speaker 3: pull up to get gas and you go to the
Speaker 3: come and go and you're like.
Speaker 2: That was poorly decided. That was a poorly decided gas station.
Speaker 1: You know, decided that name, don't you, Steve Curtains. That'll
Speaker 1: do it for us. But the story of the game
Speaker 1: goes on for the Welsh. I'm Joey P. And when
Speaker 1: you're here, your family, enjoy your weekend. Everybody will see
Speaker 1: you on Monday. Bye.
