Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you by Prize Pick. Sign up
Speaker 1: for Prize Picks today with the promo code leading off,
Speaker 1: It's be Joey pai jo Piezifia. That of course is
Speaker 1: the man Chris Welsh happy made the fourth to those
Speaker 1: who celebrate. I'm wearing my Mandalorian shirt and I'm sure
Speaker 1: there'll be plenty of Star Wars puns in the show today.
Speaker 1: I think it was last year I wore the Darth
Speaker 1: Vader mask. It was one of the years I did that.
Speaker 1: But the audio gets a little garbily when I do that,
Speaker 1: so we're not.
Speaker 2: I thought that would be fun. I thought that would
Speaker 2: be fun if we had like some Mandalorian masks. You know,
Speaker 2: this is the way, you know, you know what?
Speaker 1: You wanna do a different stick every year? You know why?
Speaker 1: I do the same stuff? Then you know, then it
Speaker 1: gets old and haggard. Are you a Star Wars guy?
Speaker 2: Welsh just yeah, I was asked this yesterday. I like
Speaker 2: Star Wars. I watched the stuff. I watched them. Our
Speaker 2: mutual friend Scott Bogman is a crazy person about Star Wars,
Speaker 2: likes to write fan fiction, dress up as them, go
Speaker 2: to comic cons, all that type of stuff. He thinks
Speaker 2: he is a Jedi, all those type of things. Not me.
Speaker 2: But I have to ask you something because I have
Speaker 2: a gut feeling about this. I feel like you do
Speaker 2: a mean Yoda. I just look at you, at someone
Speaker 2: that that has practiced the Yoda and can do it.
Speaker 2: So please honor us with your Yoda because I know that.
Speaker 1: To some point in the show, well we'll see, I
Speaker 1: want to do it at the top. Then you know,
Speaker 1: if it's bad, then.
Speaker 2: We lose on anybody.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny with me. The Star Wars
Speaker 1: was something that I was a fanatic as a kid.
Speaker 1: Grace Christmas present I ever got was the Ewok village
Speaker 1: by far had all the figures, all this thing. I
Speaker 1: still have the the Darth Vader case to hold the figures.
Speaker 1: I still got that bad boy that's still in the
Speaker 1: in the old closet there. But you know it's funny.
Speaker 1: I was so excited for the reboots, you know, and
Speaker 1: I was disappointed in them.
Speaker 2: Oh you can have a hot take. You didn't like
Speaker 2: the new movies? Hot take?
Speaker 1: Care? Well, look, I was a midnight show for the prequels,
Speaker 1: and I left going it was good, right, right, It
Speaker 1: was good, right because we've been waiting all this time
Speaker 1: for Star Wars and they got all this technology now
Speaker 1: to make it even better. And it was good, right,
Speaker 1: And it was It was not it was not good,
Speaker 1: and the prequels were terrible. The second prequel is, oh
Speaker 1: my god, one of the worst movies ever, hilariously bad
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Again just my opinion. But I did
Speaker 1: love Rogue one. That was like the savior of the
Speaker 1: Star Wars movies for me. So I have I have
Speaker 1: soured over the years on Star Wars. I've become much
Speaker 1: more of a Marvel guy in my old age. But
Speaker 1: you know, I did watch the first, I think two
Speaker 1: seasons of Mandelorn. I have not watched the new one.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about it yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love well, this one's gotten a little bad.
Speaker 2: My hot take was probably that I feel that the
Speaker 2: Mandalorian And this is because I'm not like a Star
Speaker 2: Wars like crazy person. Probably the best stuff out of
Speaker 2: Star Wars, it's like my favorite. It is built off
Speaker 2: in nostalgia. This last season has got kind of bad.
Speaker 2: You also have to be into like the cartoons what
Speaker 2: is it like Rebels and the Clone War like, those
Speaker 2: are excellent and those are heavily rooted in what's going on.
Speaker 2: But I feel like the Mandalorian stuff is the best
Speaker 2: of the Star Wars stuff, which also I think ties
Speaker 2: into Rogue one.
Speaker 1: So I lost you or if it was me, I
Speaker 1: don't know one of us got.
Speaker 2: It was you? Yeah, I think it was you, but yeah,
Speaker 2: one of us got dropped.
Speaker 1: But we're back now. But here I will say this,
Speaker 1: the best thing about Rogue one is that you know
Speaker 1: it's going to end poorly and you still care about it,
Speaker 1: Like that's that's great, Like you kind of know where
Speaker 1: it's going going and it and it really delivers and
Speaker 1: and I kind of like the down ending stuff sometimes,
Speaker 1: like I just I don't know, I'm not all the
Speaker 1: Hollywood swoopy ending IM down for you.
Speaker 2: In baseball, got a downating for you from yesterday. Here's
Speaker 2: a this is the Rogue one of leading off was
Speaker 2: yesterday watching talk about it.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Brandon fought so, uh, I guess the
Speaker 1: Marlins next time out, so maybe that's better. But against
Speaker 1: the Rangers, it was not a good day for him,
Speaker 1: you know, that any mistake he made got clobbered. Homer
Speaker 1: two doubles knocked him out there. So it wasn't the
Speaker 1: best debut. But you know, I mean, look, these guys
Speaker 1: are young pitchers, they're kids. The catchers don't always know
Speaker 1: their pitch mix necessarily of what they want to throw
Speaker 1: a win. And sometimes, you know, guys get a little
Speaker 1: you know, first start, they get a little jittery. All
Speaker 1: these things. I wouldn't take too much out of it.
Speaker 1: But it was not a great debut by any stretch
Speaker 1: of the means. For everybody. He was so excited yesterday.
Speaker 1: It was a bit of a letdown. So how did
Speaker 1: the stream go? Howd the fought stream go?
Speaker 2: Not good as probably as good as you could think
Speaker 2: towards the end where Brandon Fott got lit up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you watched him perform, his fastball was pretty mediocre.
Speaker 2: His slider, it's this huge, big sweeping slider. It's phenomenal.
Speaker 2: It's a phenomenal pitch. The problem is he had no
Speaker 2: change up in this game. So what happened was his
Speaker 2: change up was getting smacked. It had like a one
Speaker 2: oh six average ev again, so he stopped throwing it
Speaker 2: when he didn't throw a slider early on, and he
Speaker 2: became a two pitch pitcher because he won't throw his
Speaker 2: curveball that slider. He just didn't trust enough and they weren't.
Speaker 2: This is the stat I've been kind of mentioning this everywhere.
Speaker 2: Twenty three swings on his fastball, only one whiff. But
Speaker 2: check this out. That was like a four percent swing
Speaker 2: and misrate. Fourteen called strikes. I believe it was on
Speaker 2: his fastball, which gave his fastball a twenty eight percent
Speaker 2: csw But why am I saying all this? Those guys
Speaker 2: didn't even care when the fastball was coming in the
Speaker 2: zone because they weren't looking for it. Fourteen called strikes
Speaker 2: on the fastball is just him pumping in because they're
Speaker 2: looking for the slider. They're looking for the changeup, which
Speaker 2: he was leaving in the zone. So his command was bad.
Speaker 2: He gave up ten batted balls over one hundred miles
Speaker 2: per hour in that game, which is horrific. It was
Speaker 2: as bad as bad can be. Plenty of people let
Speaker 2: me know about it on Twitter. He has a fantastic
Speaker 2: matchup next week, which I'm actually pretty encouraged about that
Speaker 2: that's going to that we're going to get to see
Speaker 2: like the real version of it, the second best offense
Speaker 2: in baseball, and the third time through the order he
Speaker 2: got lit it was he gave up a bunch of
Speaker 2: Homer's too hard hit. I'm going to be excited to
Speaker 2: see how he bounces back. But I think it's fair
Speaker 2: to say, like, after that performance, if you want to
Speaker 2: be on the side of these other guys, the Bryce
Speaker 2: Miller is the Mason Millers. I think it's fine because
Speaker 2: I do have general worries about like what he's going
Speaker 2: to look like moving forward, because a fastball just wasn't
Speaker 2: elite and that's something that like Bryce Miller was and
Speaker 2: that's what Mason Miller was. So that's it is a
Speaker 2: worry point why I had to change the sign.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh. By the way, General Fought does sound like a
Speaker 1: Star Wars character, does it?
Speaker 2: Not General Fought when that dies early in the movie?
Speaker 1: Though, Oh, he definitely. He's definitely one of the guys
Speaker 1: in an empire that absolutely Darth Vader murdered at some point.
Speaker 1: He want to wright three generals. It's hard. It's hard
Speaker 1: to find good help. Showy Otani match a career high
Speaker 1: thirteen strikeouts five innings. Not too bad. It's hard to
Speaker 1: strike out thirteen guys in five innings. That's not something
Speaker 1: you see every day. Max Munsey continues to rub my
Speaker 1: face in the poop again. Game winning Grand Slam of
Speaker 1: the night that England Wednesday. I'd say Max Money the
Speaker 1: great Max Mounsey, the greatest hitter that ever lived.
Speaker 2: You know, one thing on though, Tani thing real quick.
Speaker 2: So you just mentioned I did like a live stream
Speaker 2: for the Brandon Fott start stupid idea, our friend.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was. I think it was a
Speaker 1: great idea.
Speaker 2: And it probably was enjoyable.
Speaker 1: And don't don't confuse entertainment value with you know, good
Speaker 1: or bad results of things. You know, it's about the
Speaker 1: entertainment value.
Speaker 2: Very true, very true. Liked or disliked as long as
Speaker 2: your vin thought of uh our guy tone. You know
Speaker 2: Delgada who's in the chat. He comes in and he
Speaker 2: gets in the chat and he goes, hey, what's the
Speaker 2: ladder bet for today? And you know famously now the
Speaker 2: Jacob de Grom was a disaster, and I go, man,
Speaker 2: I don't have any ladder bet going on. I suck
Speaker 2: at that. Why would you listen to me? But if
Speaker 2: I was ladder betting someone today, it would be show
Speaker 2: hey o Tani, because look at this matchup and it's
Speaker 2: only at six and a half. And had you bet
Speaker 2: he struck out so many that the books wouldn't have
Speaker 2: had the total that he finished, They wouldn't have gone
Speaker 2: up to thirteen. It would have probably gone up to
Speaker 2: probably eleven. So I hope he took it. And what
Speaker 2: a phenomenal ladder bet that would have been had you
Speaker 2: had taken chohil Tony yesterday.
Speaker 1: Sure would have been absolutely continuing on here, Bryce Harper
Speaker 1: apparently just needs one game to get ready for the season,
Speaker 1: because yesterday was a much different result, three for three
Speaker 1: with a pair of walks, uh doubles in this game,
Speaker 1: and Bryce Harper is back. I guess so just one
Speaker 1: day is all he needed, shake the dust off and
Speaker 1: now he's fine. Cardinals manager Oliver R. Mar Maul said
Speaker 1: Wednesday that they're considering skipping Stephen Mats's turning the rotation
Speaker 1: or even moving him to the bullpen. Is it libertoire time?
Speaker 1: Please say yes? Please say yes.
Speaker 2: I think it could be a libertire time. I think
Speaker 2: you could take your liberatory and be aware there are
Speaker 2: side effects like home runs and and blown up.
Speaker 1: E R jogging and doing something like you know, like
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, Like while you're talking about
Speaker 1: like the side effects of what it could be like,
Speaker 1: tend to play the harmonica.
Speaker 2: And like, if you take libertire, your side effects could
Speaker 2: be heartburn, inflated e RA strikeouts that don't match up,
Speaker 2: an angry twitter people all around beware, but take your
Speaker 2: liberatre today.
Speaker 1: And there's me in the other box just living my
Speaker 1: next best life that I possibly can and doing all
Speaker 1: these things while you don't know what's going on when
Speaker 1: you add him. So that's my favorite part of those commercials,
Speaker 1: whenever they're doing something completely off base and just they
Speaker 1: were like, you're like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: What is liked you could die and someone's like fishing
Speaker 2: and yeah, they're.
Speaker 1: Like fishing out there with their grandson and then he
Speaker 1: dies right there on the boat and then the grandson's
Speaker 1: in the middle of the water. He has no idea
Speaker 1: how to get back. That that's a commercial.
Speaker 2: It'd be great, we should there should actually be one
Speaker 2: of those. And it's just like Star Wars characters fighting
Speaker 2: in the background like side effects and they're just like
Speaker 2: fun where dark Lighter is walking down just destroying people
Speaker 2: in the hallway, and it's like your side effects might be.
Speaker 1: That's very good. But yes, let's hope that it's Matthew
Speaker 1: Libertorre season. Please, with the love of God, do we
Speaker 1: get this guy in the rotation. Yesterday people got mad
Speaker 1: at us because we did not mention Gavin Stone, and
Speaker 1: there was a reason because Welsh doesn't think he is
Speaker 1: worthy of mentioning. And I'm sorry we missed the questions
Speaker 1: in the chat yesterday. They were a couple Gavenstone questions.
Speaker 1: But he gave up four and runs five total in
Speaker 1: his major League debut against the Phillies. But you're not
Speaker 1: a Gavinstone guy. But let's talk about for those people
Speaker 1: who we missed yesterday, apologies, we do our best, but
Speaker 1: we missed the Gavin Stone chatter. So let's talk. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely whatever you gotta say.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's not worthy. I just to your
Speaker 2: to your your point, like I didn't think about him
Speaker 2: because we were so focused on Brandon Fot. Had he
Speaker 2: been alone, we would have talked about him. Also to
Speaker 2: your point, I'm not like as big of a Gavenstone
Speaker 2: guy as Gavinstone.
Speaker 1: Guys, yeah said something yesterday I can't repeat on air
Speaker 1: about Gavinstone. So I'm just putting that out there.
Speaker 2: I'm just not that's not my thing. He was a
Speaker 2: primary change up from majority of the game. Then he
Speaker 2: had to go to fastball like Brandon Fott. He just
Speaker 2: wasn't great. His fastball stunk. He had sixteen swings on
Speaker 2: it one with he had seven called strikes twenty three
Speaker 2: percent csw no swinging strike great. His change up is
Speaker 2: where he lives though he's not a two pitch pitcher,
Speaker 2: but eighty eight percent was a fastball or change up.
Speaker 2: He threw the change up forty three percent of the time.
Speaker 2: He had a twelve percent strike rate on the change up,
Speaker 2: so that's not gonna work. He got it in the zone,
Speaker 2: unlike Brandan Fott could do, but he was just getting smacked.
Speaker 2: And this this is one of those things where it's
Speaker 2: like if they don't fear that big, plus plus pitch,
Speaker 2: which he does have a change up, it's a plus pitch.
Speaker 2: If they don't fear that, they're just gonna sit and
Speaker 2: wait on the fastball. And that's kind of what happened
Speaker 2: in this situation. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: And the young pitchers, most young pitchers don't have great
Speaker 1: fastball location skills. And to the to the point is,
Speaker 1: you know that Tom Sever always talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: one of those things. It's you know, it's velocity, it's location,
Speaker 1: it's movement. Those are the three things that matter most
Speaker 1: in pitching. And if you can master those three, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's funny because like you know, and he
Speaker 1: didn't mean velocity ele like trying to throw it through
Speaker 1: a barn door. He meant in changing velocity. And I
Speaker 1: remember as a kid watching a thing I'll never forget
Speaker 1: of watching Tom Sever break down pitching. It was so
Speaker 1: fascinating to listen to him talk about it. And he's
Speaker 1: talking about moving the hitters, I you know, getting him,
Speaker 1: you know, you throw him up and then you throw
Speaker 1: it down. And they're like, it's very difficult to pick
Speaker 1: up pictures when you can move around the zone with
Speaker 1: good location skills. And it's something that that's a lost
Speaker 1: arc for him nowadays. And it's when you see it
Speaker 1: in young pictures and when you see that ability, that's
Speaker 1: what gets me excited about young pictures and something Xannyel
Speaker 1: Contrast Show in the last two years, which is why
Speaker 1: he's been so dominant.
Speaker 2: You're right, and that is actually something that that Brandon
Speaker 2: Fought attempts to do. He likes to live high in
Speaker 2: the zone. He likes to change your eye level up
Speaker 2: on the fastball and he throws this slider all over
Speaker 2: that screws with everybody and changes. But that's also why
Speaker 2: he's like flyball prone and gives up homers. But you've
Speaker 2: got to change the batter's eye. The other thing with
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone after this, it's they had said Dave Riyverts
Speaker 2: said before that they're going to take it like case
Speaker 2: by case. But there's other guys that are pushing. They've
Speaker 2: got Bobby Miller, who just got his first start back,
Speaker 2: was really good in his first start, and they've got
Speaker 2: a completely underrated picture in their system. Emmett Sheehan, who
Speaker 2: I believe might be the K percentage leader in the
Speaker 2: minor league right now. He played in the AFL, he's
Speaker 2: in Double A, and that's a guy that I could
Speaker 2: see them pushing. So with Gavin Stone, I just don't
Speaker 2: know that they're going to wait around and let this work.
Speaker 2: Especially with how that performance went. They might you don't
Speaker 2: want to just give up on young guys. But unlike
Speaker 2: what look what the Diamondbacks you're dealing with that the
Speaker 2: Dodgers have two guys that are right close there that
Speaker 2: I think Bobby Miller and Emmit Sheehan could get some
Speaker 2: opportunities here pretty soon.
Speaker 1: One of the show's talking about Emmick Sheehan today.
Speaker 3: None.
Speaker 1: None, I can tell you that. One other quick note
Speaker 1: to the A's who continue to just throw things at
Speaker 1: a wall and see what sticks. JJ Bleday is going
Speaker 1: to get promoted. Twenty five year old former fourth overall
Speaker 1: selection from the twenty nineteen draft. Three to sixteen batting
Speaker 1: average four twenty nine. Oh yeah, obp six forty three,
Speaker 1: slugging seven homers in the steel already for JJ Bleday. Look,
Speaker 1: I know I was kind of in the I was
Speaker 1: in the minority when he got drafted. I liked JJ Blada.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was going to be a superstar
Speaker 1: major leaguer, but I thought he could be a pretty
Speaker 1: good Major leaguer, and I thought it was a decent pick.
Speaker 1: At the time. A lot of people didn't like it,
Speaker 1: but so far it's been a really good start for him. Again.
Speaker 1: Twenty five years old. This is the theme of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, the Prospect Redemption theme. It was my theme
Speaker 1: of the waiver Wire pickup video that just dropped today too.
Speaker 1: But Welsh, what are your thoughts on blede Im? If
Speaker 1: you need some malefield help, would you stream this guy?
Speaker 2: I'm pretty indifferent about him. This isn't somewhere I would
Speaker 2: like to. I mean, I love to see the changes.
Speaker 2: I like to see the walk rate. I like the contact.
Speaker 2: He can really strike it hard, except he's just really inconsistent.
Speaker 2: But you see Brent Rooker out there doing it in
Speaker 2: deep leagues. He's a speculative one. Let me throw this
Speaker 2: name out. He's not an outfielder. We don't have him
Speaker 2: on the list because it hasn't broke or anything. But
Speaker 2: I was talking about him yesterday Christian and carnaci O
Speaker 2: and Strand. If you heard me talk preseason, I thought
Speaker 2: he could break camp. He has been on the verge
Speaker 2: and he posted on his Instagram a picture of him
Speaker 2: in a Red's uniform, kind of being like coy about everything.
Speaker 2: He might be on his way up. If not, I
Speaker 2: really believe he's within the next week. That is a
Speaker 2: guy I would go pick up right now. Hitting over
Speaker 2: four four hundred, hit four homers in nine games at
Speaker 2: Triple A. He's absurd and I think he belongs on
Speaker 2: that lineup, but I think he'll crush when he does,
Speaker 2: so I would go pick him up. Doesn't help you
Speaker 2: in the outfield, but he might be getting a call up,
Speaker 2: you know, very very shortly, especially based off.
Speaker 1: Of his last post. There you go to get back
Speaker 1: to the Panis and the Cracker Jacks. JP wanted to know,
Speaker 1: since I like down Endings, do I like Infinity War?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: I do. I love Infinity War. It's one of my
Speaker 1: favorites of all the marvels.
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna go see Guardians immediately.
Speaker 1: We have our tickets already. Saturday morning is the only
Speaker 1: time we can go see it because you know, it's
Speaker 1: like all Friday night.
Speaker 2: Like I can go see it today. I can't see
Speaker 2: it today.
Speaker 1: I can't go see it today either because it's Thursday,
Speaker 1: it's school night, it's hard, and Friday we have football,
Speaker 1: and Sunday we have football in the afternoon. So basically,
Speaker 1: just rex any chance we have, so we're gonna do
Speaker 1: the rare morning movie. So I hop and well, you know,
Speaker 1: look I'll be able to do that between work and
Speaker 1: football coaching and all this stuff I do. So Saturday
Speaker 1: morning it's I hop get pancakes and guardians. I think
Speaker 1: that's a good way to start the day. What do
Speaker 1: you think?
Speaker 2: I like it?
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 2: I'm here flowed up on there you.
Speaker 1: Go, and Casey's telling me. A lot of people are
Speaker 1: saying to watch and Or which I've heard other people
Speaker 1: say it's a great show as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never heard one bad word about and starts
Speaker 2: a little slow, but it is a really, really great series.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so I'm finishing Breaking Bad. I've only
Speaker 1: got like six episodes left of Breaking Bad. I Mike
Speaker 1: just die. Spoiler for anybody. But again, it's like ten
Speaker 1: years old, so you should have seen it, not like
Speaker 1: me who missed it. But I did start watching Succession,
Speaker 1: which I've heard about, which is great. It is the
Speaker 1: first four episodes of that show. I hate everyone in it.
Speaker 2: I can and you know what, the last four episodes
Speaker 2: you watch, you'll hate everyone in it. And that's what's
Speaker 2: so great about it.
Speaker 1: That's what I love. I love them everybody in it
Speaker 1: all equally. And I know of a rich family that
Speaker 1: I'm semi related to that. I've spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time with in my life that is very similar to
Speaker 1: this family in many ways. So it's so cringey and
Speaker 1: difficult for me to watch, but I love it anyway.
Speaker 1: So it's it's fantastic, all right. Let's get to the injuries,
Speaker 1: which are not always fantastic. Julio Rodriguez returned to the
Speaker 1: Mariner's line of Wednesday. That's great. Carls Don, however, another
Speaker 1: test on the back Welsh. It is now the fourth
Speaker 1: of May. He is thirty years old, He's had two
Speaker 1: cat scans and a partridge in a pear tree. Everything.
Speaker 1: He's coming back clean, but he can't pitch. What the
Speaker 1: hell are we gonna do with Carlos Rodan.
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna have a very clear picture soon,
Speaker 2: and I don't think it's gonna be good.
Speaker 1: I don't either. I got a bad in the words
Speaker 1: of Han Solo, I got a bad feeling about this.
Speaker 1: There you go, that's here. One Oswald Perrazza is gonna
Speaker 1: go under X rays after rolling his ankle on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: so that could be dangerous, could be high ankles. We
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. Zach Nedo right finger contusion.
Speaker 1: He'll probably be out. Michael Harris came out of the game.
Speaker 1: He just came back, but he jammed his knee, so
Speaker 1: we'll see if he's in the lineup or not in
Speaker 1: the next few days. Kyle Wright was removed from Wednesday's
Speaker 1: start against the Marlins right shoulder soreness. This is not
Speaker 1: good Welsh either. The only person that's good for is
Speaker 1: Bryce Elder, who I've got a lot of shares of
Speaker 1: which I'm kinda again. I don't want bad things to
Speaker 1: happen to good people, but if it's gonna happen to
Speaker 1: Braves Pitcher, okay, well, at least I've got all these
Speaker 1: Bryce Elder shares. I was getting a little sketch about
Speaker 1: well Soroka. I know he got lit up, but he's
Speaker 1: kind of trying to come back, and like, where's he
Speaker 1: gonna fit in the rotation? I don't know. This is
Speaker 1: a This would be a huge blow though, to any
Speaker 1: financial shares that you have in the Braves. What are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this Kyle Wright situation We've.
Speaker 2: Got, Yeah, I mean he's kind of been the guy
Speaker 2: I pick on him when he starts. I take the
Speaker 2: under on K's because it just doesn't work and they
Speaker 2: keep putting those numbers out there. But they got guys.
Speaker 2: They got Dylan Dodd, They've got Elder Soroka. I think
Speaker 2: is going to get an opportunity soon. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's bad, I don't I mean, he had like
Speaker 2: what twenty one wins last year, So like on paper,
Speaker 2: that looks bad relative to what is taken away, but
Speaker 2: there was major regression in play. I actually don't think
Speaker 2: this is the worst news for the Braves. It's just
Speaker 2: going to be about settling in and finding the next guy.
Speaker 2: And the next guy might be Elder I think it
Speaker 2: could be Soroca once he gets set back into the rotation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll continue to if you keep a monitor on that.
Speaker 1: Pete Fairbanks also in the fifteen Day IL so go
Speaker 1: get Jason Adam. Jason Adam, let's talk about him.
Speaker 2: Why, Oh, he's the next lineing closer. I mean, Jason
Speaker 2: Adam was with Team USA when he was during the WBC.
Speaker 1: Really they're going to go, well, it's the Rays.
Speaker 2: The Rays could go with a committee of different guys.
Speaker 2: They could switch it up. Adam could play a fire
Speaker 2: hose situation. But he's the next guy in line. I
Speaker 2: picked him up in a league that was where I
Speaker 2: put some I had a daily fab league, and I
Speaker 2: dropped a bunch of money because I also think he's
Speaker 2: like a really, really great pitcher. And if he's put
Speaker 2: in that situation, if Fairbanks is this is an extended time,
Speaker 2: he's gonna get saves. Guess what, also, best team in baseball,
Speaker 2: get a closer in the best team in baseball, even
Speaker 2: if it's two weeks, you might get four or five
Speaker 2: saves in that time point. That's a guy I would
Speaker 2: go pick up as Jason Adam. But you know that
Speaker 2: it's like it's the race. They could do anything.
Speaker 1: So STFs is a clear path now because Jose Khata
Speaker 1: is going to go undergo Tommy John surgery, which we
Speaker 1: thought would be the case. Robbie Ray underwent his Tommy
Speaker 1: John so that means that he won't be back until
Speaker 1: maybe the All Star break next year. You're thinking, perhaps
Speaker 1: Jacob Degram is scheduled to play catch this week. I'm
Speaker 1: also scheduled to play catch later this afternoon when my
Speaker 1: youngest daughter comes home.
Speaker 2: But don't they say, what's it? Do the people say,
Speaker 2: you want to play a catch? Don't they put a
Speaker 2: uh in front of it? You want to play?
Speaker 1: Like? I don't know. It's do you want to have
Speaker 1: a catch or do.
Speaker 2: You have a yeah? I don't know.
Speaker 1: Like I'm just like, I think either are acceptable.
Speaker 2: Why don't they catch? I feel like there's people that
Speaker 2: put like us in the.
Speaker 1: Want to let us know, peanuts and cracker Jacks. What
Speaker 1: do you say? Do you want to have a catch?
Speaker 1: Do you want to play catch? I'm curious. You know,
Speaker 1: if Mike Mayer came to work, we could have a
Speaker 1: poll up for this. But I don't know. He's he's
Speaker 1: in baby mode or something. The Mayor bear is unavailable.
Speaker 3: Was he designed the star?
Speaker 2: Does he have the death Star?
Speaker 1: Like? What's happening? God, Oh my god, this could be
Speaker 1: what happens. This is what happened. He is General fought
Speaker 1: or he's taken over for General fought. So Mike Mayor
Speaker 1: was next up? He's next man.
Speaker 2: I think that's what's happening.
Speaker 3: I think he's.
Speaker 1: Definitely an empire. There's no way that my hair is
Speaker 1: not an empire. I think that here's a fun one.
Speaker 1: Josh Young one of our favorite players going into this year.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he was on one of my must
Speaker 1: have He was in one of the videos I did
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, which is I love the value,
Speaker 1: I just go get Josh Young and you know what,
Speaker 1: Josh Young al Rookie of the Month and he went
Speaker 1: three for five with a pair of homers, so he's
Speaker 1: one of our ups obviously from yesterday. Christian Walker also
Speaker 1: an up two home runs for him yesterday, say mclanan
Speaker 1: nine k's six innings, got the w one and run
Speaker 1: not so good yesterday on the down side, so again
Speaker 1: you know, just like the Force, there's a good and
Speaker 1: the bad. So the Max schureser was started the game
Speaker 1: for the first time in a while and he went
Speaker 1: three and third innings. He gave up six airned runs.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Good good times. Mack suser boy,
Speaker 1: those Max sures are Jacob de Gram. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of Justin Verlander, all those old fark pitchers that
Speaker 1: we were warning everybody about about the adp of those guys.
Speaker 1: You got owing goats from these guys pretty much this year.
Speaker 2: I'm worried about I'm legit technical shirm too, by the way,
Speaker 2: I'm legit worried about Schurzer right now, like you should be.
Speaker 2: It's it's there's a correlation obviously to not using the
Speaker 2: rosin and st and his spin numbers were down, and
Speaker 2: Villo is that it might be nothing and guys can adjust.
Speaker 2: We saw like Garrett Cole figure it out once he
Speaker 2: had to stop using stuff, but like legit, I'm worried
Speaker 2: about him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The by the way, the have a catcher play
Speaker 1: catch has gone has gone rogue. There's two in the chat.
Speaker 1: So you guys are dirty. You're dirty, bad people, and
Speaker 1: that's why we love you. That's why you come here
Speaker 1: for Fantasy Bros. MLB because we talked baseball and we
Speaker 1: have fun and baseball can be fun. Braxton Garrett was
Speaker 1: not fun. Fourteen hits, eleven earned runs, four over four
Speaker 1: four home runs four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fuck did that too.
Speaker 1: And you know what, also very upsetting Josh Nayler over
Speaker 1: four to three k's boo. I had Josh Nailor investments.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows yesterday I was on that. So now I
Speaker 1: have to redeem myself Welsh and the best way to
Speaker 1: start that. So I got two of my three prize picks.
Speaker 1: Josh Nayler, of course did not nail it unfortunately, but
Speaker 1: we want you all to go make some prize picks.
Speaker 1: Head over to prize picks dot com. Just download the
Speaker 1: app and use that promo code leading off to get
Speaker 1: one hundred percent to pausit a match up tow one
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Again that promo code leading off only at
Speaker 1: prize Picks Welsh pick your prize.
Speaker 2: Guess what yesterday sucked for me in so many ways
Speaker 2: and so many things. But you know it didn't suck
Speaker 2: my prize pick because it smacked yesterday. So if you
Speaker 2: took it, you'll won the monies because I smacked all
Speaker 2: legs of it. Louis Varland kay's Otani kay and one
Speaker 2: Soto's score. He walked three times and then had three
Speaker 2: RBI that smack, So try to go for two straight today.
Speaker 2: I'm going with Grayson Rodriguez strikeouts five and a half over.
Speaker 2: I love that number up against the Royals. I think
Speaker 2: he can hit it pretty easy. Maybe in the third
Speaker 2: Austin Riley hits runs RBI one and a half. I'm
Speaker 2: going with the over and pair it with Randy Rose
Speaker 2: Arena fantasy score at eight. Those are my three plays.
Speaker 2: It is twenty to pay one hundred and maybe you
Speaker 2: can even take pieces of mine and Joe's. If you
Speaker 2: want to make a big old five lay and get huge,
Speaker 2: huge odds, you can do that. But I got three plays, Joe,
Speaker 2: what do you got first?
Speaker 1: I got a question from Jay Jackson which I think
Speaker 1: we should address because Jay wants to know. Welsh told
Speaker 1: me to get new Bar when I drafted. New Bar
Speaker 1: has been blogged. Do I drop him essentially for anything?
Speaker 1: I am not a new Bar guy, Welsh. Where are
Speaker 1: your standards right now when it comes to the New Bar.
Speaker 2: I mean, no, you don't drop him for anything. But
Speaker 2: if there's something out there, sure you can move on.
Speaker 2: This is what happened. I'll tell you this. The entire
Speaker 2: Cardinals offense has sucked. Aeronatto is a big question for
Speaker 2: a lot of people. Most of these guys have underperformed.
Speaker 2: I think there's a team element to it. But yeah,
Speaker 2: newpar hasn't been great. So if there's like good excite,
Speaker 2: if there were those young pitchers and you want to
Speaker 2: go on the pitching side, you could do that. If
Speaker 2: it's in a shorter league, in a ten team league,
Speaker 2: I think new Bar is easily movable. In deeper bench
Speaker 2: twelve team leagues. I'm holding on a little bit more.
Speaker 2: I know it stinks right now he has been kind
Speaker 2: of met, but they are going to figure out what
Speaker 2: this team is going to look like soon because I
Speaker 2: got Jordan Walker to figure out out. They've got the
Speaker 2: Tyler O'Neil situation. And then someone just said, would you
Speaker 2: drop neut bar for Taylor Ward?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think I think that I hate Taylor Ward. Sure,
Speaker 1: so if I'm saying it, then definitely yes. By the way,
Speaker 1: what do you think of this new stream yard format
Speaker 1: It's happened this week where we can bring up you know,
Speaker 1: obviously we always bring up the comments here that we
Speaker 1: think are interesting of the questions, but it's different. Now.
Speaker 1: Do you like this new format? I three?
Speaker 2: You're like, you mean like the black bar?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the black bars?
Speaker 2: I think it looks clean.
Speaker 1: Side of the force. That's three. Continuing on here with
Speaker 1: my prize picks, Griffin Canning four and a half picture
Speaker 1: strike as that's too low of a number. Let's go
Speaker 1: the over Dansby Swanson against Patrick Corbin. Wherever I see
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbin, That's where I'm putting investments. Eight and a half.
Speaker 1: Fantasy Hitter score I'm going over and Bobashette against Bellow
Speaker 1: today eight hitter fantasy score going over there too. We
Speaker 1: want you to join us at betting pros dot com
Speaker 1: s LA's leading off and join our betting group there.
Speaker 1: Make your picks. Yesterday again not as good because the
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians let me down a little bit. But
Speaker 1: today's a good day. So today, here's a fun one
Speaker 1: for you. This is a huge, crazy parlay. You can
Speaker 1: put a little bit of money on.
Speaker 2: Just a little wild and crazy guy here, wild and
Speaker 2: crazy guy.
Speaker 1: You know me, not the parlay guy. But you know,
Speaker 1: every now and then, once a week I see something
Speaker 1: where I'm like, yep, that's good. That's good. That's good.
Speaker 1: Let's put them all together. Now I bet them all
Speaker 1: separately too, but for a little bit of extra. If
Speaker 1: you get everything right, you have a great day. It
Speaker 1: could be a great day. If you put the Tigers
Speaker 1: on the money line to upset Justin Verlander. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's gonna pitch very long in this game. And
Speaker 1: Edward L. Rodriguez on the other side, You're getting plus
Speaker 1: one fifty two on the Tigers today, so I love
Speaker 1: that just as an upset play. The Mets have not
Speaker 1: played well by the way, the Angels with Griffin Canning
Speaker 1: on the mound plus one twenty two, also underdogs Minnesota
Speaker 1: is favorites and minus one thirty two with Pablo Lopez
Speaker 1: on the mound, and then Seattle Kirby against the A's
Speaker 1: and minus two to fifty five heavy heavy favorites there.
Speaker 1: That's okay. So I've got two dogs, two favorites. If
Speaker 1: you put these together you get plus twelve sixty eight.
Speaker 1: Just saying this is a fun big like twelve to
Speaker 1: one shot. Throw ten bucks on this. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a very nice day for you. Could that pays a
Speaker 1: cell phone bill, ladies and gentlemen, that's what it does. Also,
Speaker 1: same game parlay with an extra Verlander under six and
Speaker 1: a half k's that's too high of a number. I
Speaker 1: just don't think he's gonna go more than seventy five
Speaker 1: pitches today, Welsh. I just don't Eduar Rodriguez four and
Speaker 1: a half, two small number over Gryffin Canning over four
Speaker 1: and a half. If you put these three together, you
Speaker 1: get five to one odds. So just saying, wherever you
Speaker 1: could do that, Vlad Guerrero point five RBI over over
Speaker 1: on betting pros, you're getting plus one thirty on that number.
Speaker 1: My trout total bases one and a half. He had
Speaker 1: a homer last night, big home run for them won,
Speaker 1: then the game plus one twenty you're getting on that number.
Speaker 1: So I like a lot of things, even gospeed five
Speaker 1: and a half k's and the over. I like that
Speaker 1: number even though it's minus one sixties a lot of juwice.
Speaker 1: You could put it with something else. Maybe put that
Speaker 1: in the same game with the Toronto Blue Jays to
Speaker 1: beat the Red Sox Welsh. What do you have on
Speaker 1: the betting front today of yours?
Speaker 2: By the way, I think I love that strikeout parlay
Speaker 2: of Verlander under Eduardo and Griffin Canning over because I like.
Speaker 1: That they just loads four and a half low, like
Speaker 1: that's not hard to get to.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: I like that a lot. I've only got two lock
Speaker 2: plays for you. I've been saying, you know, and it's
Speaker 2: gonna go one way or the other. But like I've
Speaker 2: been really hot with my team total runs through five
Speaker 2: and you guys can only hear it here because I
Speaker 2: just don't have it set up on the betting pro side.
Speaker 2: So you know, continue listening here if you want to
Speaker 2: play those hit it yesterday just barely too. But we
Speaker 2: got the two and a half from Toronto today, I'm
Speaker 2: going with one more Tampa Bay team total runs two
Speaker 2: and a half over through five. I really like that play.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be my lock play. And my favorite strikeout
Speaker 2: play of the day is Grace and Rodriguez at five
Speaker 2: and a half, So those two are my favorite.
Speaker 1: Wonky on it is always trouting on the line up today. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: everything's a day game today, So thanks Wonky for following
Speaker 1: up on that. Obviously, that just came out recently, so
Speaker 1: wait to go, Wonk. That's why we hired her full
Speaker 1: time because she's so good. She's so good. She keeps
Speaker 1: us honest, She keeps us right on track all the time.

Speaker 1: you know, bigger and cash game kind of guys. But
Speaker 1: otherwise I love Eduardo and Cannon today. Those are the
Speaker 1: two that I want to get Seattle, Toronto, Baltimore. Those
Speaker 1: are the stacks. Dalton Varshow's two point seven to Oscars
Speaker 1: two point eight. Gunner is two point five. Ryan Mounta
Speaker 1: Messel is my home run call of the day. Oh
