Speaker 1: Welcome in to a wonderful Friday. We're going into the weekend.
Speaker 1: We get the hell out of this week, Bubba. Sometimes
Speaker 1: we can say Sionora today we've got some stuff. It's
Speaker 1: kind of a boring day yesterday, for being honest, no
Speaker 1: no hitters going on today. We had that on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: We have got prize Picks, we have got bets, and
Speaker 1: we've got a brand new segment coming up into the show, Bubba,
Speaker 1: that is going to be following us through the rest
Speaker 1: of the season. It's called road Trip with Welsh and
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll. I'm very excited about it. On the last episode,
Speaker 1: but Bubba, how are we doing? Brother?
Speaker 2: I am doing. It's Friday.
Speaker 3: I am ready for the week and like no one's business,
Speaker 3: and I hope you get some better baseball because yeah,
Speaker 3: yesterday it's eight games, but it wasn't really anything going on.
Speaker 3: So we got some players coming back, got some fun stuff,
Speaker 3: so it should be a fun week in ahead.
Speaker 2: That we did have.
Speaker 1: I mean again, we did have like a no hitter.
Speaker 1: Like we get very hyper focused on what happened Thursday.
Speaker 1: Going to three days a week makes a little bit tougher,
Speaker 1: but we did have the perfect game from Michael Lorenzen.
Speaker 2: No, no, no hitter.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, sorry about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah that
Speaker 1: It was almost an Edwin Jackson no hitter. Yeah, seven
Speaker 1: walks or whatever, but no hitter from Michael Lorenzen, who
Speaker 1: was efficient and has been doing it.
Speaker 2: Really.
Speaker 1: I don't want to call it like one of those
Speaker 1: like Edwin Jackson type of no hitters, but he's kind
Speaker 1: of been playing at that level all year of like
Speaker 1: the underlying stats have not justified, but it's just kind
Speaker 1: of a fantastic moment to take advantage of having him
Speaker 1: on your roster. I'm really not sure if there's any
Speaker 1: sellibility from Lorenzen.
Speaker 3: No, there's not, and he's been outstanding that the two
Speaker 3: starts of Philadelphia and then the four starts part of
Speaker 3: that with Detroit. It's like forty something ain'ts pitched thirty one,
Speaker 3: K's five and runs biggest thing five wins in a
Speaker 3: world where we're trying to find wins in fantasy, he's
Speaker 3: picking up the dub. So he's been very effective. Ratio
Speaker 3: has been great. It's you can't sell them. No one's
Speaker 3: gonna give you what you want for Lorenzen.
Speaker 1: Now, we're also live streaming as always. People listening on
Speaker 1: the podcast, you want to check us out on the
Speaker 1: YouTube channel. You can drop questions. We interact with the audience,
Speaker 1: the Peanuts, the cracker Jack, so feel free to do that.
Speaker 1: Like Lee who said, guess who faced Lorenzen in two leagues? Oh? Oh,
Speaker 1: guess who had Lorenzen in two leagues? This guy kind
Speaker 1: of a Lorenzen guy. No big deal. So we got
Speaker 1: news and notes, We got all the stuff and things.
Speaker 1: Actually also going to talk about Pipeline released their big
Speaker 1: mid to whatever in season update. They only do like
Speaker 1: one in season update for prospects. We'll look at that
Speaker 1: in a little Rookie lookie as well as a very
Speaker 1: interesting award based bet you can make on one of
Speaker 1: the sites that I want to present to you. But
Speaker 1: we did get the return of Clayton Kershaw Return of
Speaker 1: the Mac Clayton Kershaw one run over five innings, didn't
Speaker 1: get a decision, gave up a homer to Elhurs Montero,
Speaker 1: but he had four strikeouts, no walks, sixty seven pitches.
Speaker 1: They didn't really push him a whole bunch of strikes.
Speaker 1: I guess they said to complete five frames. I think
Speaker 1: I don't know if I said four, but five frames
Speaker 1: in here and also apparently unveiled a new splitty change
Speaker 1: that was going on there. So talk to me about
Speaker 1: that return of Clayton Kershaw on how good you're feeling.
Speaker 2: That's great to see him.
Speaker 3: I always feel good, Like I tell people, as a
Speaker 3: Giants spanishipposed to hate the Dodgers, it's hard to hate
Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw. It's just like one of the best pitchers
Speaker 3: we'll ever see pitch, and it's great to have him back.
Speaker 3: I do they'd limit him, so that was kind of
Speaker 3: part of the game. But to see a new split
Speaker 3: change from the veteran on his return from the IL,
Speaker 3: when you should probably just be worried about normal pitches
Speaker 3: at that point in time, that's just Clayton Kershaw on
Speaker 3: a nutshell for you. So if he can actually utilize
Speaker 3: that efficiently with that big nasty twelve to six or
Speaker 3: he's got going on.
Speaker 2: It just makes him even crazier coming in the postseason.
Speaker 2: You know, it's.
Speaker 1: Interesting like being around you know, like the backfields and
Speaker 1: stuff like that all year long. Obviously the sweeper kind
Speaker 1: of took over. That was like the big new thing,
Speaker 1: But the amount of guys I heard that were working
Speaker 1: on new change ups. I heard it from Joe Musgrove.
Speaker 1: There were two other players. I'm completely forgetting the names.
Speaker 1: There are two other players early and in camp, and then
Speaker 1: you know, I think there was another guy like two
Speaker 1: months ago in season you got Kershaw. It's interesting that
Speaker 1: the change up, whether it's like a new version or
Speaker 1: just a new grip, has been the pitch that guys
Speaker 1: have tried to tinker with in season.
Speaker 3: Makes sense in a roundabout way because you can go
Speaker 3: back to the old tunneling conversations and whatnot. Your fastball
Speaker 3: change up can look so identical because your splitters and
Speaker 3: your sliders, the grips and the angles are all different.
Speaker 3: You can get a good fastball change up combination going
Speaker 3: that actually could be quite effective. So it makes sense
Speaker 3: in a world where velocity. Everyone was all about get velocity,
Speaker 3: get velostit to get velocity. Will most have got to
Speaker 3: tho highs are going to get That's just the reality
Speaker 3: of the world. So now it's how Now it's the
Speaker 3: difference in velocities and the change ups your answer to that.
Speaker 2: So it's very interesting.
Speaker 1: And I know, like I remember talking with the n
Speaker 1: we're in the earlier in the year when we were
Speaker 1: talking about Gavin Stone and he he kind of called
Speaker 1: Gavin Stone's change up a splitter because it's got a
Speaker 1: lot of split action. So those two can kind of
Speaker 1: share similar similarities even though it is a change up
Speaker 1: a Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 2: Back different changeup grift. Sorry, like there's a circle change.
Speaker 3: There's like almost like a pomd ball, and they'll basically
Speaker 3: the way it leaves the fingers will change, like I know,
Speaker 3: you know Sarrus, but I did pitch at one point,
Speaker 3: so it'll oh, were you a pitcher well back in
Speaker 3: like you know, middle school and high school and then
Speaker 3: I stopped, But I was I was a lefty. I
Speaker 3: was a kind of Kirk reader, but you know, play
Speaker 3: one hundred pounds heavier, So that that was me.
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about with the first pitch aer zone
Speaker 1: and everybody coming here, like we got to have a softball.
Speaker 3: Game across the hotels, that big, big, big park there
Speaker 3: in me. So I've been saying it's like the big
Speaker 3: best way to play a wiketball game.
Speaker 1: Well, I want to get one of the teams to
Speaker 1: let us play on one of the the backfields played
Speaker 1: like a like I want to play real softball, but
Speaker 1: withhotball would.
Speaker 3: Be Oh, I'd be down for real softball, like bring it,
Speaker 3: like I man, if you can pull pull your stringser, well,
Speaker 3: I know you're kind of a big I on the backfield.
Speaker 3: I did back pages back you went back pages to backfield,
Speaker 3: So I did.
Speaker 1: I did. I did do a media batting practice years
Speaker 1: and years ago. I shared. It was actually that it
Speaker 1: was the impetus of like, oh, I'm gonna lose weight.
Speaker 1: I lost a lot of weight after that, after I
Speaker 1: saw professional pictures of myself. But I almost hit a
Speaker 1: homer out of that backfield park. I hit it right
Speaker 1: at the wall. That was fun. So Nos, maybe we'll
Speaker 1: get something going. We can put that out there. Uh,
Speaker 1: these two pictures Noah Cinderguard and Alec Manoa battled it
Speaker 1: out whoa world, World's collide here? Cindy five and two
Speaker 1: thirds struck out five, had two walks, won and run
Speaker 1: actually a good game. Alec Manoa really never went four,
Speaker 1: struck out six, but he gave up three walk four.
Speaker 1: So my question to you with this rest of season,
Speaker 1: who would you rather have? Noah Cinderguard or Alec Manoa.
Speaker 2: I'll still go with Manoa. I want zero to do
Speaker 2: it either one of these guys.
Speaker 3: I'll just go with Manoa because we know the ceiling
Speaker 3: with Manoa, like he's found it once or two, maybe
Speaker 3: it's there he's still young. Or Cinderguard is just a
Speaker 3: shell of himself, like he's struggling to get to ninety
Speaker 3: miles an hour at times. I'll go Manoa. But I
Speaker 3: want zero to do with either one of these guys.
Speaker 1: I want zero to do with either one of these
Speaker 1: I get you know though, like you know what, No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna.
Speaker 3: Even trying to convince yourself like you could be in
Speaker 3: a twenty fourteen league. It's probably still a bad idea.
Speaker 1: I gave you the option. I'm not taking the option.
Speaker 2: It's what a good hostess. We got it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but honestly, maybe it is cyinder Guard
Speaker 1: like cynder Guard. With that defense, there's no offensive support.
Speaker 2: He might be a safer play, but it's.
Speaker 1: Just like Manoah's going to give up four or five
Speaker 1: every single every time. Like maybe Cindergard can have a
Speaker 1: performance like this. Somebody, as Faby, asked what position do
Speaker 1: I play? So I can? I can play outfield, but
Speaker 1: I played third base in my my competitive softball years,
Speaker 1: which Bagman and I played on like three years. I
Speaker 1: have a third baseman. I'm tall for a first baseman.
Speaker 1: I got a good glove. My arm is just not great,
Speaker 1: that's my problem. But I got a good glove, decent bat,
Speaker 1: so I can play all around the field, super util.
Speaker 2: Where was the Patreon when you and Boglin were on
Speaker 2: a softball team that.
Speaker 1: Well, we were podcasting, we were softballing, so then we got.
Speaker 2: Back into it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, who knows. Maybe maybe we will Bubba with
Speaker 1: the master slutter. That's right, Oh do we still have
Speaker 1: the this will be uh, this will be Bubba after
Speaker 1: the second inning, Just slutter, slaughter, slutter, foreseen boom boom,
Speaker 1: that's Bubba's ours. I gotta say that was your maybe
Speaker 1: more your college arsenal than your high school arsenal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, much more of my college. Yes, yes, Thursday nights,
Speaker 3: Thursday night on the backfields.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not the back pages.
Speaker 2: Nope, no, not the back pages.
Speaker 1: I got something for you. And this is going to
Speaker 1: be kind of a quiz. So Max Munsey hit his
Speaker 1: twenty eighth home We're kind of come back to the
Speaker 1: Dodgers here on Thursday. But he's pairing that with a
Speaker 1: one ninety five batting average. So I had to do
Speaker 1: some research, and god knows if this ended up being correct.
Speaker 1: I was using stat muse, and that's the whole thing.
Speaker 1: But I liken this because I thought of Kyle Schwarber,
Speaker 1: who just the other day hit his thirtieth home run,
Speaker 1: and I could only find four total players in a
Speaker 1: season that have hit thirty or more homers with a
Speaker 1: sub two hundred batting average. Only four. Again, if I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: I apologize, but I did all I did. Bubba Buba ba,
Speaker 1: spending all morning, way too much this morning trying to
Speaker 1: figure this out. And the reason that this got even
Speaker 1: more prevalent is because we are just about to have
Speaker 1: two players with the sub two hundred batting average hit
Speaker 1: thirty homers. Kyle Schwarber a one eighty two batting average. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Munsey has to keep it down. Four players, but Bubba,
Speaker 1: there are two of those four did it in the
Speaker 1: same season, So Munsey and Schwarber about to do it
Speaker 1: if Munsey keeps his batting average down. These two players
Speaker 1: did it in the same season, and one is not
Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwarber, by the way, has the lowest
Speaker 1: batting average of any player to ever hit thirty homers. Currently,
Speaker 1: can you name or the audience named the two players
Speaker 1: in the same season that did this.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's the two players in the
Speaker 3: same season, but it feels like Adam Dunny on this
Speaker 3: list somewhere.
Speaker 1: He's not on this list. Actually, Fabar got one of them.
Speaker 2: Of the y s bt fouts has a good guess
Speaker 2: right there.
Speaker 1: Not in the same season, you guys did get one.
Speaker 1: Gallo is one.
Speaker 3: Galla makes a lot of sense. So it is Gallo
Speaker 3: the one of the two in the same season you're
Speaker 3: talking about. He is He is the American International League.
Speaker 1: It was in the National League.
Speaker 2: That's way before Rob Dear. It was another piece of work.
Speaker 2: Was Bellinger. It was not because he had that.
Speaker 1: Year that it was not It was not Bellinger.
Speaker 3: I'll just keep throwing things at the wall and will
Speaker 3: be recorded for two and a half hours.
Speaker 1: Okay, well we'll come back to it in just a
Speaker 1: tiny bit. But you have one of the players. There
Speaker 1: are two more players still and the other player that
Speaker 1: did it with Joey Gallop. I'm gonna tell you the
Speaker 1: year twenty twenty one is.
Speaker 2: The year a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: But Kyle Schwarber currently with the lowest batting average. Mun's
Speaker 1: he about to join him and it'll be only the
Speaker 1: second time to have if he keeps Hojorgeeselier is incorrect.
Speaker 1: It's a great guess. It's a great guess, but incorrect.
Speaker 1: We'll come back to it. You got to get the
Speaker 1: guy that paired with Joey Gallo, and then the other one.
Speaker 1: The other one. None of y'alliganton. None of y'alligitton. I
Speaker 1: don't think I would get it, but then when I
Speaker 1: saw it, I was like, oh, I know what it is.
Speaker 1: This is a good one. I actually had an autograph
Speaker 1: of this guy. I met this guy. So we'll come
Speaker 1: back to that. So sit on that for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Award season, But I was going through and obviously we
Speaker 1: like to take a look at the awards when we can.
Speaker 1: What's going on. You know who's up for Cy Young,
Speaker 1: who's up for Rookie of the Year. It's actually going
Speaker 1: through one of the sites DK and they've actually taken
Speaker 1: off a couple. You can't even bet currently the Rookie
Speaker 1: of the Year in the NL, at least as of
Speaker 1: when I look this morning, it was off. The same
Speaker 1: thing happened with one of the war I think it
Speaker 1: was the Al Award winner. They took that off because
Speaker 1: of Otani, and they took the Corbyn Karl one off.
Speaker 1: But what popped to me was the NL Award. Not
Speaker 1: only is Ronald d'acuniya the favorite, I think we know
Speaker 1: that it's gotten to a ridiculous thing, but six point
Speaker 1: fifty versus you can play the field a plus five
Speaker 1: hundred bet to get any other player in baseball to
Speaker 1: win it, that counts Freddy Freeman. Freddy Freeman is currently
Speaker 1: four to one. So my question to you is, could
Speaker 1: you get down with this bet where you get the
Speaker 1: entire field versus Ronald dacunya. Though we know it's essentially
Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman, but check this out. You get plus one
Speaker 1: hundred more odds if you bet the field than just
Speaker 1: betting Freddy Freeman, which is wild. So what could you
Speaker 1: do this?
Speaker 2: I see what you're going with, But no no.
Speaker 3: I talked with Bloomfield about it on our show Thursday
Speaker 3: night that what Ronald Leacunya is doing is not getting
Speaker 3: the appropriate love because Otani's amazing. Like what Acunya is doing,
Speaker 3: he could legit finish like forty seventy if he runs
Speaker 3: hot for another month and a half. That is just insanity, like,
Speaker 3: and he's sitting three forty. On top of it, he's
Speaker 3: striking out like he has a higher barrel rate than
Speaker 3: strike out rate right now, that is barrel rate, he's
Speaker 3: almost fifteen percent at the time with a twelve point
Speaker 3: six percent strikeout rate.
Speaker 1: How many players you're doing that? Nobody?
Speaker 3: Basically is there any There's God, I'm just under speculatd.
Speaker 3: But it's very hard to do because the average barrel
Speaker 3: rates eight percent, the average strikeout rates like what seventeen
Speaker 3: eighteen percent. So the fact he's flipped it on its head,
Speaker 3: it's just so I like, we I know, we all
Speaker 3: love Acunya, we all talk about Acuna, but if show
Speaker 3: Hey's not doing show Hey things right now, Okunya is
Speaker 3: the guy getting all that attention and then they might
Speaker 3: have that off the board like he's that good.
Speaker 1: You can call him ocunya, ocunya.
Speaker 2: Oh man, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: All right, So check this out because I'm looking here
Speaker 1: because the barrel percentage, that's the tough one to get.
Speaker 1: There are of qualified hitters. Let's get here because the
Speaker 1: thing I was gonna say while I'm looking at this,
Speaker 1: all right, so I have fifty four qualified hitters currently
Speaker 1: with a ten percent or higher barrel rate. The problem
Speaker 1: is so many of those like low K guys are
Speaker 1: crazy low barrel guys like you know the Luisa r
Speaker 1: B two barrel raiders.
Speaker 2: Why it's so unique, man.
Speaker 1: So I can't see. I need to probably do a
Speaker 1: custom board to do it. So I'm not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to do it today. But there are fifty four
Speaker 1: players with a barrel rate of ten percent or higher,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking here. Freddy Freeman is on this list,
Speaker 1: and his K percentage could be lower. I'm going through
Speaker 1: the rest. I don't think anybody else is going to
Speaker 1: get this. I mean, you see Gunner Henderson, you know
Speaker 1: Hanne out. Can you look real quick, what is Freddy
Speaker 1: Freeman's strikeout percentage? Because he might be the only other one.
Speaker 1: As I look there, I see show Hey is number
Speaker 1: one in barrel in the league right now.
Speaker 2: That's insane because he is any good.
Speaker 1: Yeah one. Soto's the other at thirteen point three. Those
Speaker 1: are the only two.
Speaker 2: He would make sense. Freeman striking out sixteen?
Speaker 1: Okay, what is Sodo real quick? Because I think those
Speaker 1: are going to be I don't even need to look
Speaker 1: at the rest of them because I don't think anybody else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Soto makes sense because he checks that box all
Speaker 3: the time. Now he's twenty point four this year. It's
Speaker 3: the highest of his career.
Speaker 1: Wow wow. Okay, so that that's a strikeout percentage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty point four. He has Walkerate's nineteen point six.
Speaker 3: Is a strikeout is twenty point four?
Speaker 1: That's crazy? So there you go. I mean, that is
Speaker 1: a wild stats. But if you wanted to play it,
Speaker 1: it's plus five.
Speaker 2: H I get it.
Speaker 3: I get the odds, and it makes sense if you're
Speaker 3: willing to gamble. It's just I don't see how Kunya
Speaker 3: loses unless he like I don't even want to say
Speaker 3: it like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, if he did the rest of the year, if
Speaker 1: that did happen, if that thing that you're talking about
Speaker 1: did happen, Freddie Freeman is on his heels.
Speaker 3: Though Freeman would deserve it in a harpy like he's
Speaker 3: well deserving. It's similar to like me saying Akuny is
Speaker 3: not getting loved because of a Tawny, Freeman's not getting
Speaker 3: to love because of a Cunya.
Speaker 2: Like that's kind of where it's all.
Speaker 1: But that's kind of the bet you're you're betting on you.
Speaker 1: So I thought that was an interesting one in the.
Speaker 3: Question for reason quick question, not diverting from what we're
Speaker 3: talking about, but with a Cunya. This was brought up
Speaker 3: as well on the show last night because he's such
Speaker 3: a cheat code right now in fantasy that next year,
Speaker 3: do you think you should have a third round reversal
Speaker 3: like the old Ladanian Tomlinson days in football because if
Speaker 3: you draft the Cuna, you're so far ahead of the
Speaker 3: pack nose.
Speaker 1: It's a good question, but no, because the same thing
Speaker 1: is said about daily transaction leagues with Otani, like Otani
Speaker 1: is like not fair unless you're playing Yahoo and these
Speaker 1: two different human beings, which is still stupid in my mind,
Speaker 1: but like, no, I just don't think so. I don't
Speaker 1: like the To me, that's like being like we gotta
Speaker 1: have premium tight ends. Like I think premium tight ends
Speaker 1: are stupid, but it's like we're gonna get them one
Speaker 1: point five and stuff like that. I get the logic
Speaker 1: behind that, but I'm not playing into that. One laser
Speaker 1: got the one player that is with Joey Gallo Johannio
Speaker 1: Swarez in that that was the one, And I think
Speaker 1: I went away front and I close it.
Speaker 2: Why would I do that?
Speaker 1: I did? I think I did close it, But I
Speaker 1: do know the other guy. So four players sub two
Speaker 1: hundred bating average of thirty plus homers. We know Kyle
Speaker 1: schwar Wher. He's the worst of all of them. Joey
Speaker 1: Gallo and Swarez did it as a team in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, and they're gonna be paired with Muncy if
Speaker 1: he keeps it down. There's one other player. He played
Speaker 1: with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Bogman and I both met him,
Speaker 1: Mark Reynolds. Marks, that's the great pullback. That's a very
Speaker 1: very good one. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So Mark, Yeah, that checks out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then there are a whole bunch of were
Speaker 1: like at the bottom of the two hundreds. But those
Speaker 1: are your prolific power hitters with absolutely no batting average.
Speaker 1: If you think it helps you, so oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Michael even said he looked it up so he won't
Speaker 1: spoil it, but give a hint Welsh's d backs.
Speaker 3: That's way guys, Just just so you know, most of
Speaker 3: the time it always comes back to Welsh's d backs.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of kid exactly. Only other thing
Speaker 1: I was gonna throw out on the news was Jose Batista.
Speaker 1: He signed a one day contract with the Blue Jays
Speaker 1: today to retire. He was always trippy to me, wasn't
Speaker 1: he didn't he like pop when he was like thirty
Speaker 1: two or something.
Speaker 3: I felt like he popped when he was He was
Speaker 3: like the original, who cares about strikeouts. Let's swing as
Speaker 3: hard as we can and elevate the baseball. He like
Speaker 3: started that revolution, I felt like, and he all of
Speaker 3: a sudden start hitting bombs everywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so weird. So he's doing that. That's a
Speaker 1: good callback for him. I wanted to pull this out
Speaker 1: for the rookie Lucky we're gonna get your take on
Speaker 1: this pipeline. MLB pipeline. All the great crew over there.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Mayo, Jim Kallis had them both on My show
Speaker 1: and Prospect one. They release their big update for the
Speaker 1: prospects here and the top one hundred their thirties, but
Speaker 1: their top ten is pretty wild. So check this out,
Speaker 1: and I want you to remind you this is not fantasy.
Speaker 1: This is real baseball, which could put some of these
Speaker 1: things into question, and fantasy we build up. The only
Speaker 1: thing that fantasy has hurt itself with prospects is people
Speaker 1: get so locked into recency, like where is the guy?
Speaker 1: When is the guy going to come up and help
Speaker 1: me tomorrow? A lot of people will value that instead
Speaker 1: of in pure dynasty, which I kind of do looking
Speaker 1: at the totality, like it's cool to have a guy
Speaker 1: that's gonna come up and produce this year, but I
Speaker 1: would also probably rather have the guy that could be
Speaker 1: the number one overall prospect and build bigger value long term.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for longer term. So here is the new
Speaker 1: top ten PUBBA at one Jackson Holiday, No shocker there,
Speaker 1: number two, do Action Curio. It's all Jackson. So I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: it's all good. Number three new drafted this year, Paul Skeins,
Speaker 1: the number one pitcher and the number three overall prospect.
Speaker 1: Number four Tillan Cruz just drafted number four, Number five,
Speaker 1: Ethan Solace, a seventeen year old. I don't think a
Speaker 1: seventeen year old. I could be wrong. I don't think
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old has ever made their top ten list.
Speaker 1: The next five junior Cameraro James would Evan Carter, Jackson, Merril,
Speaker 1: Jordan Lawler, lots of shortstops, but a seventeen year old
Speaker 1: catcher Ethan Sallace over junior Cameron Arrow over James would
Speaker 1: over Evan Carter. I don't know if you have any
Speaker 1: thoughts on that. Definitely a victory lot for me because
Speaker 1: I've been the Ethan Salas guy. I did a big
Speaker 1: thing about it earlier this year, so this has been
Speaker 1: really nice to see. But a seventeen year old in
Speaker 1: the top five prospects overall is a wild push to
Speaker 1: dynasty owners who are also trying to figure out values.
Speaker 3: I guess for me, because I'm not the prospect Guy's
Speaker 3: why I trust people like yourself to help me with
Speaker 3: all this but the kind of the takeaway for me,
Speaker 3: it's all double A and below. But which like in
Speaker 3: the past, like you mentioned the recent scene everything, we
Speaker 3: would have kind of ignored that for fantasy. So many
Speaker 3: guys are jumping from double A now, so there's a
Speaker 3: great chance we see a lot of these guys like
Speaker 3: next year having some kind of impact. So it is
Speaker 3: an interesting list. And age is not a crutch or
Speaker 3: whatever they call it these days, so that they don't.
Speaker 3: It's a youth movement. It's good.
Speaker 1: It is, dude, it is. And and Ethan Sallas this
Speaker 1: is a guy I drafted in one of our three
Speaker 1: sport leagues in been trying to tout him. It's a catcher,
Speaker 1: and like real baseball, guy's value catching more so. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's really top five necessarily in fantasy
Speaker 1: at this point, but you know you're getting guys like
Speaker 1: him and Sabasha Walcott was sixty seven on their list.
Speaker 1: Youth movement kind of getting more of a push in
Speaker 1: the top prospects. Very interesting. You guys want to check
Speaker 1: that out, go check out pipeline. Also, you can check
Speaker 1: out my updates I've got over it in this league
Speaker 1: dot Com on my Patreon, which has got my top
Speaker 1: five hundred prospects. You can see where Ethan Solace and
Speaker 1: all these guys are listed. Kind of a wild thing.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go over to injuries. Injuries, injuries. Mike
Speaker 1: Trout told reporters earlier this week that he is aiming
Speaker 1: to take batting practice soon. So it's a very good
Speaker 1: sign when he's not getting autographs with Shohial Tani.
Speaker 3: Did you see that that card was so sick the
Speaker 3: strikeout of the.
Speaker 1: So here's something I don't think I knew this, or
Speaker 1: maybe I did. I'd heard it through the grape vine,
Speaker 1: but apparently talking with my best friend Corbin Carrol, who
Speaker 1: you know, we talked all that Steed yeah and everything,
Speaker 1: he told me that apparently Mike Trout is a big
Speaker 1: card collector, not just like a little rist, but like
Speaker 1: a big card collector. And Dennis Uler's son actually said,
Speaker 1: I think it's done through an article that like every
Speaker 1: city that Harper or that Harper that Mike Trout goes to,
Speaker 1: he like buys cases of cards, and I guess he's Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a huge collector. So if you don't know the
Speaker 1: tops now card of Shoho Tani and him going up
Speaker 1: against each other from the WBC was an awesome card.
Speaker 1: He took three of those. He signed it. He got
Speaker 1: Showhy to sign it, and I think also, and it
Speaker 1: is it Kanchi No, no, no, not his name, that's
Speaker 1: the signature type. So he did that his real autograph.
Speaker 1: Trout signed it, and Trout inscribed two of them to
Speaker 1: say us A and one to say Captain America. Gave
Speaker 1: one to the interpreter, one to show hey, and he
Speaker 1: kept one. That is the wildest card on the planet.
Speaker 3: That's a card that we're going to see and X me.
Speaker 3: We might not even be alive when we see it.
Speaker 3: But that things he get auctioned off for insanity.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if they would ever get rid
Speaker 1: of it. I mean he's a collector, their collector. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you ever get rid of that. And
Speaker 1: you're on hard times. I don't know either one of
Speaker 1: them are to ever be on hard times.
Speaker 2: I doubt it. But you know the economy, so you
Speaker 2: never know.
Speaker 1: Just get rough. Housing market goes up a little bit.
Speaker 1: He gotta get a house, you gotta sell that. But
Speaker 1: Tony seems like the kind of guy that would just
Speaker 1: look at that and be like cool, and he just
Speaker 1: like put it, put it in, put in the spokes
Speaker 1: of his bicycles. He rides around town being like, I'm
Speaker 1: the greatest.
Speaker 2: You know that type of he can go.
Speaker 3: Put it with Massa Tak what's his name from the
Speaker 3: Yankees Back of the Day. Is his collection he has
Speaker 3: in his I have totally blanked the outfiller.
Speaker 1: Collect I didn't know he had.
Speaker 2: He had a different collection. He liked, oh.
Speaker 1: Different, Okay, well he might not. I don' wouldn't want
Speaker 1: that card in that collection. Then that defile that card.
Speaker 1: So I will let you know we're coming up here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let the chat do this. There's another kind
Speaker 1: of pseudo game before the home run contest we are
Speaker 1: presenting to don't you dare?
Speaker 2: Faby.
Speaker 1: I know exactly what you were talking about. I know
Speaker 1: exactly everybody here in the chat. We're not going to
Speaker 1: say it, but Faby, we know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: In the chat, we are going to be presenting the
Speaker 1: new segment road Trip with Welsh and Corbyn Carrol. So
Speaker 1: here's your guys' job. It's going to be. I have
Speaker 1: a better idea of how we're going to present it.
Speaker 1: In the future, but today you're just going to get
Speaker 1: to see Your guess is where did Corbin and I travel.
Speaker 2: To the world? Is carbon San Diego exactly?
Speaker 1: We can't call it. Where in the world is Wells
Speaker 1: and Carol? We could do that the world are the
Speaker 1: two besties? Yeah? Where? Yeah? Where? What road trip did
Speaker 1: we go on? So you guys can start guessing what
Speaker 1: the road trip will be. You're gonna find out here
Speaker 1: on the YouTube. Podcasters go on the YouTube. You'll find
Speaker 1: out in about five minutes or less. So put some
Speaker 1: guesses in the chat.
Speaker 2: So you guys know, I have no idea what I'm
Speaker 2: very excited about it.
Speaker 1: No, no, I haven't shown. There's only two people in
Speaker 1: the world that know about this, and we'll all know
Speaker 1: about this, And I almost thought, I feel like this
Speaker 1: should be the new Home Run Contest, the second Home
Speaker 1: Run Contest, and we do a giveaways people who guess
Speaker 1: where we're traveling each time. But this will this is
Speaker 1: the first trial run and we'll start counting next week,
Speaker 1: so that's going to be coming up here in just
Speaker 1: a tiny bit. So put your guesses in the chat

Speaker 1: Check them out today. Prize Picks promo code leading off, Bubba,
Speaker 1: who are you playing on the Prize Picks.
Speaker 3: I'm having a little fun with this. On Johann Aviedo
Speaker 3: over thirty and a half Fantasy points. He's hit it
Speaker 3: eight three straight times, four last five. He's been getting
Speaker 3: quality start after quality start gets a great matchup on
Speaker 3: Fridays and wing Oviedo over thirty point five. It's a
Speaker 3: red team is striking out a ton right now. I
Speaker 3: give you Cory Sego over seven and a half Fantasy
Speaker 3: points against Alexander opening for stripling by the Bay. I
Speaker 3: think it's way too low for a guy seeger standard.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about him more later. And then Ronald Acuna Junior,
Speaker 3: I'm taking over two and a half hits, runs and
Speaker 3: RBIs Tyler Miguil. Miguel Miguil is taking the mound for
Speaker 3: the Mets, and Acunya could do this in one at bat.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Acuna on this one.
Speaker 1: My prize picks, I'm going with the ah, did you
Speaker 1: say you had an Oviedo? Okay, you had a different
Speaker 1: because I'm going Oviedo Abbot strikeouts eleven and a half under,
Speaker 1: though I don't.
Speaker 2: Like that one.
Speaker 1: I'm going on the under on that just pirates striking out.
Speaker 1: Abbot's been kind of reeling a little bit, So I'm
Speaker 1: taking the under on eleven and a half strikeout Combo,
Speaker 1: I'm taking the sale and Tarique Scoble, Nurphy n RFI
Speaker 1: under to not give up a run in the first inning,
Speaker 1: and I'm adding that with Freddie Freeman Fantasy score eight
Speaker 1: and a half. I like both of those gentlemen quite
Speaker 1: a bit. I pulled a joe and I completely forgot
Speaker 1: to give you guys a three up and three down
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do that really quick. By the way,
Speaker 1: you're three up. Josel Twove went four for five with
Speaker 1: the homer and two doubles. Reese Olsen six innings, eight k,
Speaker 1: zero earned runs, only had two hits. Matthew Libertre eight innings,
Speaker 1: two hit, seven strikeouts on Thursday, big ups on the downs.
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carroll give up only one hit nowhere and runs,
Speaker 1: but he walked seven ridiculously. You're not gonna You're only
Speaker 1: gonna give up one hit when you walk seven.
Speaker 2: I gotta help you.
Speaker 3: It's Patrick Corbin, not Corbyn Carroll. You have Corbyn Carroll
Speaker 3: on the break.
Speaker 1: And I say Corbyn Carroll, Yes, Patrick Corban. Well know, honestly,
Speaker 1: you know what I wish Corbyn. Corbyn probably also has
Speaker 1: seven walks in one hit in his last week two.
Speaker 1: I wish that would pick back.
Speaker 2: Bounds.
Speaker 1: It doesn't, It doesn't. I see Corbyn. I just Hunter
Speaker 1: Brown six innings, five and runs, eight strikeouts. He gave
Speaker 1: up two homers. Alec Manoa four innings, six strikeouts, four
Speaker 1: and runs. Like we talked about, a couple walks, also
Speaker 1: wanted to throw out. I had some weekend streaming pitchers
Speaker 1: to take a look at Steven Matts has got Kansas
Speaker 1: City this weekend, Rich Hill Arizona, Tewan Walker Minnesota, and
Speaker 1: Cole Reagan's against Cincinnati are against Saint Louis. Those are
Speaker 1: your Saturday matchups. I like Stephen Mats the most. And
Speaker 1: Sunday you've got Brandon Fott going up against the Padres,
Speaker 1: Cutter Crawford against Detroit, Stilset against Houston, and Roberts Hoarrez
Speaker 1: against Minnesota. I would go with Cutter Crawford. Those would
Speaker 1: be my the probably pick up a ble as my
Speaker 1: word is pick up a bole players that you can
Speaker 1: get into Betts. What are you betting here on Friday?
Speaker 3: And real quick for the chat there. Yes, Cedric Mullins
Speaker 3: is activated today. That dropped right as we started recording,
Speaker 3: So yes, you guys are correct bringing that one fun
Speaker 3: yees BET's Enrique Hernandez over one and a half hits
Speaker 3: runs and RBIs at minus one ten gets the lefty
Speaker 3: Gomberan and Rieque looks amazing since rejoining the Dodgers. Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: so like that one a lot. Corey Seger over two
Speaker 3: and a half hits runs and RBIs I like the
Speaker 3: fantasy number. This is that plus one twenty five. So
Speaker 3: if he gets that fantasy number, he'll get this as well.
Speaker 3: And then if you want to parlay, I I with Welsh,
Speaker 3: I usual you don't like the parlay, but you want
Speaker 3: Atlanta Milwaukee Dodgers all first five. It's plus two twenty two.
Speaker 3: Do you want to get risky do a minus a
Speaker 3: half each? You get plus four hundred. Those are games
Speaker 3: that heavily favor. Those three teams on paper should do
Speaker 3: very well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love first five's. I actually I've also got
Speaker 1: that first five Milwaukee, but I'm pairing that, so I've
Speaker 1: got the first five money line for Milwaukee and I'm
Speaker 1: pairing it with the first five money line of Houston
Speaker 1: getting one forty one. So you just went Atlanta Milwaukee Dodgers.
Speaker 1: I took them two. I get plus you know, one
Speaker 1: and a half on the money Milwaukee Houston first five.
Speaker 1: I also really like he's just Lizardo strikeouts today six
Speaker 1: and a half up against the Yankees. Yankees have been
Speaker 1: striking out. I think over the last three games, I
Speaker 1: struck at like two twelve per game. Obviously, the Yankees
Speaker 1: lineup a little bit more dangerous, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to the LIZARDO six and a half and I believe
Speaker 1: it was minus one twenty five, so it's even not
Speaker 1: horrible juice for the Jesus Lizard. What do you got
Speaker 1: on DFS.
Speaker 3: DFS Big Thirteen Games today? Corbyn Burns against Chicago White
Speaker 3: Sox at eleven point two K. Burns has been amazing
Speaker 3: since July first. Lance Lynn has been great with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Should strike out a ton of Rocky's eight point nine
Speaker 3: K and then Ovie, don't talk about the love already
Speaker 3: seven k for some value versus the Reds. If you're
Speaker 3: stacking it up, there's a ton of places to go,
Speaker 3: but you could go with the usual suspects. Dodgers verus
Speaker 3: gomber Lando versus macguil Milwaukee versus Copek Philadelphia versus Caiicele
Speaker 3: are all great places to start and then value on
Speaker 3: the site. Bryce Terrang has been very, very very good
Speaker 3: since his last recall. He's second base short stop. He's
Speaker 3: three cavers Copek, Enrique Hernandez, the previously mentioned third base
Speaker 3: outfield viable three cavers gomber and then Nelson Velaska has
Speaker 3: got recalled as Drew Waters went to the Il. He's
Speaker 3: two point six cavers Wayne Wright, and I love the
Speaker 3: power that Alaskas brings to the table. So if you
Speaker 3: want to go full yolo, I think the pound way
Speaker 3: right because everyone's pounding Wayne right. But that's the value
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: So where are Welshin Corbin going on a road trip?
Speaker 1: It's road trip time. I'm gonna tell you this right now.
Speaker 1: I just got the idea. Starting Monday, for the rest
Speaker 1: of the season, we are going to be playing this
Speaker 1: game every show and I'm going to be tracking who
Speaker 1: gets them correct. And I think I'm going to pull
Speaker 1: out an autograph Corbyn Carrolyn in person autograph card, and
Speaker 1: then we'll send it to the winner who gets the
Speaker 1: most correct answers. Where are me and Corbyn traveling to
Speaker 1: today won't count. We did get a couple of guesses.
Speaker 1: Bill said to Carls Junior to see Bogman, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: Win right now, Jesse the Lions. Then that's an il
Speaker 1: one we're doing. Go to the Lions. Then Buddy Angelo said,
Speaker 1: the batting cages. Gentlemen, you are all incorrect. It's a
Speaker 1: home There was a home stand. Corbyn was back in Arizona.
Speaker 1: Me and Corbyn, we love beautiful things.
Speaker 2: Came to the mountain.
Speaker 1: We we didn't go to Camelback Ranch. We went to
Speaker 1: kind of a better mountain road trip Corby CARLN. Welsh
Speaker 1: at the Grand Canyon. Look at us, We're so happy.
Speaker 1: Look at us being Corbett at the Grand Canyon. It's
Speaker 1: road trip. That's where Corbett and I went out to.
Speaker 1: If you got Grand Canyon and you didn't say it,
Speaker 1: you were correct. Corbin and I hanging out, not the
Speaker 1: heart Attack Grill, not Niagara Falls. Nope, we were headed
Speaker 1: to the Grand Canyon on the home trip. Look how
Speaker 1: happy we look at the Grand Cane. Oh, it's so
Speaker 1: beautiful in the background.
Speaker 3: I love Dubie Wah's guess. By the way, what was
Speaker 3: this guy going to Vegas for a shotgun wedding?
Speaker 1: No, no, we were just heading out to the Grand Canyon.
Speaker 1: We took a nice picture, we were careful of the railing,
Speaker 1: and then we headed home and Corbyn went back to
Speaker 1: doing his baseball. So that was where Welsh and Corbyn
Speaker 1: Carroll were on our road trip too. You guys can
Speaker 1: start playing along with us for more guesses. Maybe I'll
Speaker 1: start giving hints that. Maybe I'll give a hint at
Speaker 1: the top of the show or something, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: see who gets the most correct answers and then we'll
Speaker 1: give a prize. I'm not going to give a prize
Speaker 1: to you guys. I keep guessing Honeymoon.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. Yes, Angelo, that
Speaker 1: was photoshopped. By the way, if that was photoshop, we
Speaker 1: didn't actually go do I need to give a caveat Oh,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, we didn't actually go travel anywhere. Corby
Speaker 1: Carol doesn't even know what's going on, even though we're
Speaker 1: best friends.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 1: All right, home run contest. We do have a home
Speaker 1: run board. Speaking of Corbyn Carroll. One person's gonna win
Speaker 1: that autograph inscribed helmet via sids Grafs. Blue Harvester still
Speaker 1: at the top. This is pretty similar to the board before.
Speaker 1: The Wonky is in five fifth position. So we got
Speaker 1: Blue Harvester with forty five homers at the top, JJ
Speaker 1: Tator with forty homers, number two a five homer difference,
Speaker 1: number three, Razor Ramone the bad Guy at thirty nine.
Speaker 1: We also have our Hoffman in fourth place at thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Wonky's in fifth with thirty four. I am in third
Speaker 1: R six with thirty three, then we've got Helpless and
Speaker 1: Bony Randy. Thirty three is kind of the number here,
Speaker 1: so I guess I'm tied with a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 1: That's what the home run board is currently looking like, Bubba,
Speaker 1: who's your home run call? Today?
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stick with targeting gomber in La. Give me
Speaker 3: some Mookie Bets. Mookie Bets having a heck of a season.
Speaker 3: I think Bets goes deep.
Speaker 1: Okay, I forgot who the who the hell did I pick?
Speaker 1: I don't even know if.
Speaker 2: I pick pick a Brave.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go right to what I got so big.
Speaker 1: I got so busy with the grand candid photo making
Speaker 1: sure everything was good. I didn't even pick anybody today.
Speaker 1: I am going to go with who'd you say, pick
Speaker 1: a Brave?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Pick a Breve?
Speaker 1: Uh No, well you know what I should pick a Brave?
Speaker 1: I picked Austin. I'm gonna go with Madelson, Yeah, Maddilson is.
Speaker 3: Keep going back and forth, and then everybody knows to
Speaker 3: play the other person. If you're playing DFS and we're
Speaker 3: good that.
Speaker 1: Is, And you know what, I can actually change it
Speaker 1: if I want, because I can go over. If I'm
