Speaker 1: Vacasian beard Welsh is my favorite Welsh beard.
Speaker 2: Welsh. It comes in all like you know that scene
Speaker 2: and Joe Dirt were like, so yeah, it comes in
Speaker 2: all white trash. You like that, Like that's kind of
Speaker 2: how I get it doesn't come in full. But my
Speaker 2: wife's not having it. It's already getting cut. The minute
Speaker 2: we're done with this show, I'm shipping off to Great
Speaker 2: Wolf Lodge. As I've said, so, I'm like here from
Speaker 2: one show and then I'm gone again and this has
Speaker 2: to go. I'm not given a choice.
Speaker 1: Can you go to a place like Great Wolf Lodge
Speaker 1: and not have a beard? I mean that sounds like
Speaker 1: a place where beards are mandatory. To me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean you're telling me.
Speaker 1: You're telling me a buddy birds and penicillin. Those are
Speaker 1: the two things you need.
Speaker 2: A great Wolf hip some of the fat and s.
Speaker 2: It's great. Yeah, yeah, no, thank you. It's coming in
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 1: But oh, we got a lot of baseball to get
Speaker 1: to today. Again. Shout out to Kelly Kirby, the Wonky Peng.
Speaker 1: We were helping us out yesterday in a short notice.
Speaker 1: The Welsh is back. You should send her a little
Speaker 1: i don't know, like a little Marcus Stroman babblehead or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'll get her something from Great Wolf. I'll get
Speaker 2: her some wolf.
Speaker 1: He yes, try not to bring her strip throat like
Speaker 1: you know, just try not because those places are I
Speaker 1: love the water parks. I've been with my kids many times.
Speaker 1: There's Kalahari about an hour and fifteen hour and twenty
Speaker 1: minutes from our house. We've been there twice. Calamari, No,
Speaker 1: it's it's called Kalahari. It's the same thing. It's a
Speaker 1: giant complex, video games, restaurants, you know, all the kind
Speaker 1: of things, and the giant indoor water park. And it's
Speaker 1: great fun. But afterwards, if you have kids. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Everybody gets sick, get out.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like I'm already prepared. Everyone be prepared, like
Speaker 2: I'm going to do all this. It's like I've missed shows.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna miss tomorrow. Our dear Scott Bogman is gonna
Speaker 2: fill in for me. All right, ready to go and
Speaker 2: ramped up for Friday and then next week and then
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get sick.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll take it about twenty four hours, so you'll
Speaker 1: be good for Friday show. But it's fun. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, we got you on, we got Bogman on,
Speaker 1: we got Penguent on, we got all kinds of things.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the baseball, shall we. Tony Gonsolin got
Speaker 1: his third victory a Tuesday night, limited the Nats to
Speaker 1: just one run. Of course, it was an amazing two
Speaker 1: strikeout performance for him, I know, super exciting and fantasy.
Speaker 1: Tony Gonsolyn continues to defy all logic in pitching. But
Speaker 1: good for him also.
Speaker 2: By the way I put it, we've had what weird
Speaker 2: like we're in a weird performance era right now. Did
Speaker 2: you see the Zach Efflyn start the other day where
Speaker 2: it's like yeah, seven struck out none, not at all.
Speaker 2: We are I'm telling you this is the ebb and
Speaker 2: flows of what goes on when fantasy, especially with betting too,
Speaker 2: where it's like we really the predicting felt really good.
Speaker 2: We're like coming up to this trajectory soon as like
Speaker 2: late May and June comes down, We're coming down where
Speaker 2: it's like, man, that looks like a really good start.
Speaker 2: You know, we can get four strikeouts and zero and
Speaker 2: but Tony Gonson lives in this like not consistent world
Speaker 2: and that's start. By the way, I think he had
Speaker 2: like four swinging whiffs. I mean he has an under
Speaker 2: seven k per nine right now. He is a weird
Speaker 2: fantasy start right now.
Speaker 1: Alex Torres in the chat. By the way, last time
Speaker 1: I went to Kalahari, I got two ear infections. That's right.
Speaker 1: And look, Mike Maher's mom apparently lives five hundred feet
Speaker 1: from Kalahari. So there you go.
Speaker 2: That's feet that I don't know, a little too close.
Speaker 2: That sounds like.
Speaker 1: That's actually in k you know, get out of that
Speaker 1: game on the water slide, you go right out, you
Speaker 1: know from your house right now. The water slot sounds
Speaker 1: fun to me. Uh. Brandon Beeck a third game of
Speaker 1: five plus innings, one earned run. He's got two four
Speaker 1: or five e RA at home this year, So another
Speaker 1: starter to watch as things are going on for Houston.
Speaker 1: You know, with Eduardo Rodriguez hurt. I just talked about
Speaker 1: this in the waiver war video.
Speaker 2: You know, JB.
Speaker 1: Frantz still hanging out there, about half a league's Felix
Speaker 1: hanging out there, like mccullor's is hurt and Ron Rodriguez hurt.
Speaker 1: So they're not making a trade for him anytime soon.
Speaker 1: There's the opportunity for these guys to continue to you know,
Speaker 1: make starts, and as long as they're still decent, there's
Speaker 1: no press in the next two months in June and
Speaker 1: July for them to make a deal immediately until the
Speaker 1: trade deadline.
Speaker 2: Remember all those Lance mccullors updates, and I was just like,
Speaker 2: move on here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were very dismissive and rightfully. So we talked
Speaker 1: about it yesterday, so we won't talk about it again.
Speaker 1: Anthony Santander three for four with two runs, three RBIs
Speaker 1: he's heated up nicely. Those who bought low on him.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he made one of your trade videos.
Speaker 1: I don't remember three twenty seven, four, six, six oh
Speaker 1: nine Slash in his last thirty games with seven bombs
Speaker 1: and twenty four bread.
Speaker 2: No funny enough. He actually was going to be in
Speaker 2: the video that I think it released today. Everything was
Speaker 2: a little bit late with Memorial Day, and then I
Speaker 2: just took him out. I had like seven players. I
Speaker 2: always cut it down. If anyone watches the videos, it
Speaker 2: should be available. I always cut them down to five players.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's a little bit more consumable. Plus
Speaker 2: instead of me just like rattling off names, I can
Speaker 2: give you a little bit more analysis. And he was
Speaker 2: in the first cut and I knocked him out. So
Speaker 2: I'm really with this. I'm a big Anthony Santander guy.
Speaker 2: The things have turned. The hard hit is there. He's
Speaker 2: a great buy.
Speaker 1: Here's a great question here from Timmy Sawyer our boy,
Speaker 1: Timmy Lively or Brandon Bilk, which one do you prefer more?
Speaker 1: I just did the the video and I will spoiler
Speaker 1: alert Lively is in that video. So again, if you
Speaker 1: haven't subscribed to Fancy Bros MLB and look developer notifications
Speaker 1: and all that fun stuff, but would you rather have
Speaker 1: here in this short period of time, I think lively
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Actually, see what's tough about that is those are two
Speaker 2: It's two like polar opposites of team compacts. One is
Speaker 2: great Black in the video, I actually do have an
Speaker 2: Astros guy and you know, no surprise, it's it's a
Speaker 2: bigger name, but it's Hunter Brown. Because's obviously played so well.
Speaker 2: He's pitching today, you know, cross fingers here, he's you know,
Speaker 2: he's pitched so well. But I also think like we're
Speaker 2: going into another tier of his value and here and
Speaker 2: no longer I'm bringing this up outside of promoting video.
Speaker 2: Was a fun fact in six starts that Hunter Brown
Speaker 2: has at least gone five innings. He has gotten wins
Speaker 2: in five of those six. So all I'm pointing out
Speaker 2: is like that guy goes five, he gets a win.
Speaker 2: He might walk himself into somewhere between twelve and fifteen
Speaker 2: wins this year. So now take it back to whoever
Speaker 2: the hell is there Black, JP Franz. You're just gonna
Speaker 2: get more wins. But be lively is the much sexier
Speaker 2: strikeout option of a pitcher. K percentage in the twenty
Speaker 2: seven ercent walks are low in the five.
Speaker 1: I'm a slutter for the Caves, baby, I always am,
Speaker 1: always will be. You are I would say for the.
Speaker 2: The answer in all of this is I would go
Speaker 2: with Lively because I think it's a little bit sexier
Speaker 2: right now with those strikeouts. But I think b Lack
Speaker 2: is more of your wins chase. Maybe a points league
Speaker 2: guy Black might even be a little bit better, so
Speaker 2: you can pick up some wins better.
Speaker 1: Lively, Blake Lively or Ben Lively. It's definitely Blake Lively.
Speaker 2: Is Blake Lively the crazy one?
Speaker 1: No, she's the one that's married to Ryan Reynolds and
Speaker 1: they have that hoar relationship where they troll each other
Speaker 1: on social media constantly and it is the funniest No
Speaker 1: Amber heard is crazy? No, No, not to be confused then, yeah,
Speaker 1: but yes with the pooping and the things, Yes I
Speaker 1: get you know. I've waited a long time already seen
Speaker 1: that on a live show and then I said it.
Speaker 2: So that's that's I was like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: I think everyone's glad I said it. Code I Sanga
Speaker 1: fired seven scoreless innings. He is h looking much better here.
Speaker 1: The ghost Forkball was on last night. He had the
Speaker 1: cool ghost forkball hat. I don't know if you saw
Speaker 1: this in the post game, well, I know you're a
Speaker 1: hat guy. He had the it's like this ghost baseball
Speaker 1: thing and it's got like a fork in it. And
Speaker 1: they had this logo too, you know, like they have
Speaker 1: the K Corner always. They had these ghost forks that
Speaker 1: they kept hanging up, so it was a ghost with
Speaker 1: a fork in the middle of it, which was fun too.
Speaker 1: But the hat that code I had last night was
Speaker 1: very cool. In the press conference, I just type checked
Speaker 1: that I'm not seeing it. I want to cause more hats.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna all hats that are sent my way.
Speaker 1: So just look for postgame press conference hat or something
Speaker 1: like that. It'll show up somewhere from last night's postgame.
Speaker 1: Vlad Guerrero three for five with a run and a
Speaker 1: seven two win over Milwaukee. You know, it's been a
Speaker 1: kind of a rough year in some regards. I mean, overall,
Speaker 1: you're happy with Ladd, but you're still kind of waiting
Speaker 1: for that great Vlad moment. I mean, all they hits yesterday,
Speaker 1: we're singles. But you know, over the last thirty games,
Speaker 1: in just two fifty with a three zho three four
Speaker 1: thirteen slash. It's not great, So he's an interesting buy
Speaker 1: low candidate. Would you be buying low on Vlattie right now?
Speaker 2: You think that low?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's been a very unfulfilling Lattie season
Speaker 1: the last at least the last thirty games. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, how many how many first basemen do you
Speaker 2: think are valued above lat then? Right now? Because I
Speaker 2: think that's kind of the key point here, and I
Speaker 2: can put up a good question if things want to roll.
Speaker 2: Fangrats is not wanting to roll for me. I was
Speaker 2: going to put up and find out your war leaders here.
Speaker 2: Let's do that real quick, Let's see, because I think
Speaker 2: that's the question, because who are the names you've got?
Speaker 2: Pete Alonso, Matt Olsen are going to be near the top,
Speaker 2: all right. I got the first base board here, So
Speaker 2: in war you've got Freddy Freeman. Freddy Freeman. Yes, yes,
Speaker 2: this is someone I talked about in the trade video.
Speaker 2: Yondi Diaz Yandy Diaz is number two in war in baseball,
Speaker 2: by the way, listen to the video because there's crazy stats.
Speaker 2: He has just a couple of other names, Paul gold Schmith, Rizzo,
Speaker 2: Alonzo Olsen, Holy cow Connor, Joe has a higher war
Speaker 2: at first base than Vlad Carrero.
Speaker 1: But by the way, you know Jose Brave has a
Speaker 1: negative war right now.
Speaker 2: Well, that's fun, that's I'm not surprised by it. I like,
Speaker 2: I think negative war is a great stat because it's
Speaker 2: something for them to work through through the rest of
Speaker 2: the year, like building towards not But would you take
Speaker 2: you take Freeman, you take Goldie over him? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would take Goldie over him.
Speaker 2: What about Alonzo? Alonzo hitting two thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Don't care about the batting average, he's got twenty homers.
Speaker 1: I don't care.
Speaker 2: Okay, better Wan matt Olsen. Matt Olsen.
Speaker 1: Olsen is the interesting one because Olsen to me is
Speaker 1: always a streaky guy too. He's always got the big pop.
Speaker 1: But I kind of wonder if you could piece something
Speaker 1: together there for Laddie. I just I wonder if it's possible.
Speaker 2: You know, would you trade if you had not that
Speaker 2: you would do these?
Speaker 1: I would trade yondy in a package, you.
Speaker 2: Trade Yandi for flat. That would be a really interesting one.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I don't think you could pull it off.
Speaker 1: You can't pull it off solo. But if you put
Speaker 1: Yondy with I don't know. If you put Yandi and
Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns for Vlad Guerrero, that gets it done.
Speaker 2: I think you know. Fun fact Yandy is winning the
Speaker 2: fifth category, doesn't matter, but three or four categories over
Speaker 2: Vlad right now, he has a pretty substantially batting average
Speaker 2: homers runs, he has all three of those categories. They
Speaker 2: both have no stolen bases, So just thrown it out there.
Speaker 2: But that might be a good trade. That might be
Speaker 2: a good trade right now. So yeah, if you can
Speaker 2: actually buy him low, I'm with him.
Speaker 1: I think he might be able to kick the tires.
Speaker 1: It's a good time. Shane mclanan's first loss of the
Speaker 1: year all It was lost two to one because they
Speaker 1: got his gorny runs on the braves, bullpen sarcastic blew
Speaker 1: a game just a little to the freaking Oakland Ace. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: Bryce elder went sevenings to give up one run.
Speaker 2: Started I put if you guys follow our betting group,
Speaker 2: you can see when we have bets. I threw a
Speaker 2: couple bets and took a couple of days off. Should
Speaker 2: have tooken another day off and I had Bryce Elders strikeouts.
Speaker 2: I knew it was going to be a good start
Speaker 2: with him.
Speaker 1: He looked good I had yesterday.
Speaker 2: Regardless of whatever he had, he earned, runs.
Speaker 1: Under nailed it, had the strikeouts. All you had to
Speaker 1: do was get the W and dfs and it would
Speaker 1: have been the trifecta. But stupid Atlanta couldn't score any
Speaker 1: runs against stupid Oakland, the worst team historically, worst team
Speaker 1: in ninety years, ninety years. But I got something to
Speaker 1: make you feel better, and it's the rookie lookie Corbyn Carroll.
Speaker 1: Fun fact here, second time in a month he stole
Speaker 1: two bases in a game and had a home run
Speaker 1: in the same game. Only four other guys age twenty
Speaker 1: two or younger.
Speaker 2: Have done that.
Speaker 1: Anybody want to take a guess on those young studs
Speaker 1: who stole two bases and ate a home run twice
Speaker 1: in the same game in the same month. So who
Speaker 1: Julio Rodriguez? No, is not Julio Rodriguez. It is a
Speaker 1: guy named Rodriguez, though in case you Ivan Rodriguez, no
Speaker 1: Carlos Rodriguez, Nope, more obvious one ale Alex Rodriguez is
Speaker 1: one of them. Another just going one of the other
Speaker 1: players is current. So if you want to think about
Speaker 1: a fantastic Uh.
Speaker 2: Is it another Rodriguez?
Speaker 1: And it's not another Rodriguez, it's another current one, more
Speaker 1: current one current player. I should say Hobby. Wait, Nope,
Speaker 1: it is not and it's not Benny, not ronaldun Mike Trout.
Speaker 1: That is correct. Fantasy scholars account got it right there.
Speaker 1: Two more guys, both from the eighties. If anybody wants
Speaker 1: to venture that potential here, No, not Regan, but that's
Speaker 1: a good guest there. I'll give some people some time.
Speaker 1: So two more names, two steals and a homer in
Speaker 1: the same game in the same month, under twenty two
Speaker 1: years old. So you gotta think phenom kind of guy.
Speaker 1: Carl pretty good, pretty good, and that power there pretty good,
Speaker 1: pretty good. Said it would be everyone's Well.
Speaker 2: He doesn't have power.
Speaker 1: When James Outman overtook him, I doubled down again on
Speaker 1: him on Corbyn Carroll for Rookie of the Year. I
Speaker 1: just want to say I.
Speaker 2: Feel like I was right or something. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: By the way, Dodge, Oh, you absolutely, he's an all star.
Speaker 2: You know we should make a bid. I've been I've
Speaker 2: been thinking about this, but you know, I know you've
Speaker 2: been busy and it's a tough time. But boy, you
Speaker 2: and I should be at the All Star Game, even
Speaker 2: for day the Futures Game to a rookie. Lookie, Fantasy
Speaker 2: Pros wants to send us. Corbyn Carroll will be there.
Speaker 2: Do you know what will happened to Corbyn Carroll? That
Speaker 2: helmet that's gonna get signed for Fantasy Pros if he
Speaker 2: makes the All Star Game. It'll happen at the this year.
Speaker 2: It's in Washington, where he's from. That's why he is
Speaker 2: in Washington.
Speaker 1: That's not a bad ballpark, by the way. I like
Speaker 1: that ballpark, by the way. Frederick Doote Strawberry. That's one
Speaker 1: of the two remaining Darryl Strawberry, great one. There's one more.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a clue. One of the great bass
Speaker 1: dealers of the eighties. And no it's not Vince Coleman
Speaker 1: because that guy could never hit home runs. Think about it.
Speaker 1: Let's see if you get it with the clue there,
Speaker 1: so really good. No, it's not Kangerfy Junior either. Everybody
Speaker 1: the Dodgers option to Gavin Stone back to Triple A.
Speaker 1: Enough with you, Gavin Stone is Bobby Miller's awesome and
Speaker 1: he stinks so your thoughts on this development here for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers rotation. Bye bye bye bye Kevin.
Speaker 2: See yeah, Bobby Miller. I'm I'm a huge fan of
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller. I had this was my thing I call.
Speaker 2: I was like, a Bobby Miller is gonna be the
Speaker 2: guy who's gonna win this gig. I'm in it stuff.
Speaker 2: Plus across the board, he's throwing a lot of different pitches.
Speaker 2: This gonna be really interesting to see how this is
Speaker 2: gonna end up meshing because he's not getting a ton
Speaker 2: of whiffs, but he's throwing five different pitches at double
Speaker 2: digit percentages. Yet he has this really dominant fastball. So
Speaker 2: I was almost kind of maybe he could hone it
Speaker 2: in just a tiny bit, But I don't whatever, Like
Speaker 2: this is the anti Bryce Miller, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Like Bryce Miller was all fastball and then finally he
Speaker 2: had to show the other stuff and that didn't go well.
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller is all of the stuff that isn't necessarily
Speaker 2: inducing big whiffs. I think it'll get there. I think
Speaker 2: it'll kind of be like a Tanner Baby type of
Speaker 2: situation where once he finds the rhythm, three pitches can
Speaker 2: take over either way. I mean, Miller's such a great
Speaker 2: buy right now, I'm all.
Speaker 1: You can get him choices. Eric Davis was a very
Speaker 1: good one. So it's not Eric Davis, it's not Barry Bond.
Speaker 1: So I'll give you one more clue. Oh I don't
Speaker 1: even need to because Freddy just did it. Freddy Dinger,
Speaker 1: Tim Rains with the Montreal Expo.
Speaker 2: So reset this. What was the stat and all the names?
Speaker 1: These were the only guys in the history of baseball
Speaker 1: to be less than twenty two years old and have
Speaker 1: two games in the same month where they hit a
Speaker 1: home run and stole two bags in the same games.
Speaker 1: Were again it was Tim Rains, Daryl Strawberry, Mike Trout,
Speaker 1: Alex Alex Herdrig guess and of course Corbyn Carroll.
Speaker 2: Orb pretty good comfort.
Speaker 1: It's a good list. Corbyn Carroll. By the way, way,
Speaker 1: Elie de la Cruz had a walk off homer last
Speaker 1: night too. Before we close the rookie Lookie just saying,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's any minute now. I keep waiting, I
Speaker 1: keep checking it's any minute now if.
Speaker 2: He's not on the roster. When I'm back on front, like,
Speaker 2: what are we doing?
Speaker 1: What do we do?
Speaker 2: What are we doing here? He he did mold did
Speaker 2: you see him trolling everybody? He did the post malone
Speaker 2: Instagram and then he did the Jimmy Butler like, thank you,
Speaker 2: I'm coming to Boston.
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, let's go. Let's get this kid
Speaker 1: up already. All right? Injuries Max months he returned from
Speaker 1: the hamstring injury. Uh, yesterday great? Uh he gets on
Speaker 1: the fifty. I l he's got a left index finger
Speaker 1: Pully rupture, pully.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's that the official. He's got a Pulley rupture.
Speaker 1: He's got a finger Pulley rupture. You get you ever
Speaker 1: have probably your uh your finger pully? Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of dads do hey.
Speaker 1: Check this for me? Son, I gotta it's like a
Speaker 1: Norm McDonald. Hey, Hey, hey, I gotta check this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta. You got Can you pull it back into place.
Speaker 2: On my finger? O? J. Simpson killer if you know
Speaker 2: nor McDonald, that was I just did McDonald?
Speaker 1: Oh? Really good. Matt Manning by the way through a
Speaker 1: bullpen session Tuesday. He could be a guy who could
Speaker 1: fill in eventually. But it looks like you're gonna get
Speaker 1: rhys Olsen. Uh. Taking the first open spot for Edwardo Rodriguez.
Speaker 1: He's got a six three eight e r A, but
Speaker 1: in his last two outings he has nineteen strikeouts and
Speaker 1: ten innings. So I don't know what kind of weird
Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle they might catch there. The Yankees
Speaker 1: at Harris and Bader on the ten day il with
Speaker 1: the hamstring strain. We got an update on Riley Green
Speaker 1: right before the show. So Riley Green tweaked his leg.
Speaker 1: He stayed in for the innings. So I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe it's not that bad. I was wrong. It's a
Speaker 1: ten day I Els did for him left fibulous stress fracture,
Speaker 1: so that's not it not horrible, and he had just
Speaker 1: started to get better. He was just on. We just
Speaker 1: had a conversation last week about Riley Green. We were
Speaker 1: getting excited and then this happens.
Speaker 2: We just we were just training for him too.
Speaker 1: We just did this. We just did this, But what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Jesse Winker ten day il for him,
Speaker 1: retroactive with the next strain. Jan Soda was back with
Speaker 1: the back issue, and the Orioles officially puts Cedric Mullins
Speaker 1: on the ten day ill with a groinstrain. I'm going
Speaker 1: to predict you do not see him in the month
Speaker 1: of June. Welsh, what do you.
Speaker 2: Think, uh groinstrain, Yes, I agree, I would think fly fourth,
Speaker 2: That's my guess.
Speaker 1: Also, because of the Cedric Mullins injury, the Orioles went
Speaker 1: out there and they signed Aaron Hicks off the scrap
Speaker 1: heap and Deep.
Speaker 2: Belie starting today hitting Like I that's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: I would pick him up in a fourteen to fifteen
Speaker 1: team league.
Speaker 2: I mean, I get weirded out when guys get signed
Speaker 2: and then are just starting, Like Gary Sanchez just got
Speaker 2: signed and he was like in the lineup yesterday and
Speaker 2: that's so weird, And like Aaron Hicks is there and
Speaker 2: they just just throw him in like there's no other
Speaker 2: It's like the Orioles had like one of the best
Speaker 2: outfield prospects in all the baseball Colton Cows are who
Speaker 2: they could have brought up or you know they had
Speaker 2: any options. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: By the way, question here in the chat from go
Speaker 1: Cards any news on Joe Adele anytime soon coming back?
Speaker 1: I feel like you got of cycling through. Taylor Ward
Speaker 1: hit a home run yesterday, stopped.
Speaker 2: They've got God's gift Mooniac, So don't forget about that.
Speaker 2: Who's leading off today?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I mean Joe, Like this is so telling. I want
Speaker 2: to like Joe Adell, talk with him as a smart kid,
Speaker 2: a really talent athletic. But guess what they have Mickey
Speaker 2: Mooniac and Taylor Wards struggling, and they have Mickeymoniac. Joeydell's
Speaker 2: hitting one hundred and nineteen mile an hour balls and
Speaker 2: he can't do anything. They're not bringing They're not even
Speaker 2: considering him. There is no consideration until all the guys
Speaker 2: are injured. So Joey Dell is going to have to
Speaker 2: do this on another team. He's going to end up
Speaker 2: having to do this on the Tigers or wherever. He's
Speaker 2: going to end up getting traded. So the update is
Speaker 2: he hits the ball really hard in triple A and
Speaker 2: he's probably gonna break some great Triple A records. It's
Speaker 2: just not going to be in the majors anytime soon. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like it's called up tomorrow Because I just said that.
Speaker 1: I agree. He's a absolute change of scenery guy.
Speaker 2: Even if he got called up, though, would anybody care?
Speaker 2: It's like the bear in the wood would would you
Speaker 2: care if he I wouldn't care. I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 2: if everyone was like the Angels are calling up Joe,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't care, Like, what's he going I know exactly
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. I know this story. He's going to
Speaker 2: hit one homer, one hundred and fifteen, He's going to
Speaker 2: strike out thirty five percent of the time. He'll hit
Speaker 2: nothing ninety four and higher up in the zone, and
Speaker 2: it'll be the same story as always. So he's like,
Speaker 2: I just don't care if he gets called up, don't care.
Speaker 1: Three up and three down from last night, Freddy Freeman,
Speaker 1: big day at the play, four for five with a bomb,
Speaker 1: Miles Michaelis by the way, eight shutout innings, so pretty
Speaker 1: good for him, ten strikeouts, and then Ben Lively a
Speaker 1: good start from him, five and two, third, six k's.
Speaker 1: The era's at one nine nine. I think you could
Speaker 1: add him right now. The down yesterday Joe Ryan, it's
Speaker 1: a bad start for him, but I would not think
Speaker 1: anything of this. Five earned runs and four innings. But
Speaker 1: fun fact, he has a an ERA under two against
Speaker 1: the rest of the league this year against the Astros
Speaker 1: and the two starts against the Astros and era of eight.
Speaker 1: So clearly the are onto something with Joe Ryan that
Speaker 1: nobody else is. So if everybody would be studying the
Speaker 1: Astros game DAPE, they probably do much better about Joe Ryan.
Speaker 2: The game, the game plan is yourd Nalvarez, that's the
Speaker 2: game and could also be part of it.
Speaker 1: Alex Fado had that one good start, Now he's faded away.
Speaker 1: Six earned runs in four and a third for him
Speaker 1: and Sandy al Contre last night six and a third,
Speaker 1: four earned five walks. Well, why can't this guy get right?
Speaker 2: Change up is messed up, the match makes a matched up.
Speaker 1: I'm depressed. I don't know, you know why don't depressed
Speaker 1: about this?
Speaker 2: Was something shout out to Frank Stampfole, you know, we
Speaker 2: talked about and he and he had Sandy as like
Speaker 2: his big bust, and I never identified him as a bust.
Speaker 2: But the one thing I jumped in to say was
Speaker 2: the thing that Sandy didn't have in his favor is
Speaker 2: he didn't have that huge strikeout upside for him. Like,
Speaker 2: so if he were to fade back this like what's
Speaker 2: happening with Manoa, if he fades back, he can't like
Speaker 2: make good, you know, like Kopek can have like I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to compare, but like Coopek can have like
Speaker 2: a five inning, give up four or five runs but
Speaker 2: strike out ten, like there's no extra benefit that is
Speaker 2: going on with Sandy And then I just don't think
Speaker 2: any of us predicted the walks to be at this level.
Speaker 2: So his command is shoddy, his change up is not
Speaker 2: hitting like it is, and it's like we're a June.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I he's moved down levels of
Speaker 2: players we have to value more the rest of the season,
Speaker 2: but I just don't know where this is going to turn.
Speaker 2: Would rather have Zach Gallen or Samuel Contra rest that's
Speaker 2: starting today.
Speaker 1: There's no hesitation still Zach Gallen for me. But I
Speaker 1: had Gallon closer to our Contra going into the year
Speaker 1: than most people I had. I had Gallon and Spencer
Speaker 1: Schreider right there with the super leak guys. I had
Speaker 1: them ahead of guys like Verlander and Scherzer. So my
Speaker 1: board looked very different than other people's. But just last
Speaker 1: week against Colorado, al Contra looked really good. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's starting to turn things around because he saw the
Speaker 1: era was high still, but the fip was getting better
Speaker 1: and the strikeout rate was above nine per nine case
Speaker 1: like it was starting to trend better. So this was
Speaker 1: frustrating for sure, definitely.
Speaker 2: And you know something that we didn't talk enough about
Speaker 2: because this is brought up and someone just brought this
Speaker 2: up in the chat, and they're right. I heard the
Speaker 2: broadcast and the last start talk about this, and it
Speaker 2: was very minimally talked about. In the preseason. We spent
Speaker 2: so much time talking about the effect the shift had
Speaker 2: on hitters, right, and we didn't put a ton of
Speaker 2: focus on pitchers. So now you take ground ball pictures
Speaker 2: and the maybe the luck factor that gets taken away,
Speaker 2: and it was really I think that was the hardest
Speaker 2: thing to do, is quantify what effect will this ultimately
Speaker 2: have on more ground ball pitchers. And in Sandy's case,
Speaker 2: it looks a lot more dramatic than we hit guessed,
Speaker 2: and the shift is obviously playing a much bigger role.
Speaker 2: Maybe he's less comfortable throwing the change up in specific
Speaker 2: spots because of the fielding coverage. I don't know. It
Speaker 2: just stinks. It stinks, and I want to buy. I
Speaker 2: still want to buy on Sandy, but the price, the price,
Speaker 2: I think is gonna now get to a place where
Speaker 2: this is more viable, because I think people are getting
Speaker 2: frustrated and sick of it.
Speaker 1: All right, let's turn the page from yesterday to today
Speaker 1: and officially start the new prize picking. That's right, go
Speaker 1: download the Prize Picks app or just go to prize
Speaker 1: picks dot com. Use that promo code leading off. Get
Speaker 1: one hundred percent deposit match up to one hundred dollars

Speaker 1: the promo code leading off at Price Picks, Welsh Picks
Speaker 1: and Prizes.
Speaker 2: Wow. All right, let's let's go out with a bang.
Speaker 2: Let's go out today. Let's pick one up. I will
Speaker 2: tell you I tried to be negative. It tried to
Speaker 2: be a negative Nancy, a little negative Welsh here. I
Speaker 2: wanted to do a hater sandwich or the Hater's ball,
Speaker 2: but I just couldn't find it. So we've got some
Speaker 2: up some overs today. Jared Schuster. We're going back to
Speaker 2: the Braves against the A's. We are taking a Braves
Speaker 2: pitcher on the strikeouts. Jared Shuster over four and a half.
Speaker 2: He has hit this over his last couple. He's having
Speaker 2: some good outings. And it's the A's. I know they
Speaker 2: have all their wins against them. Hunter Brown and Louis
Speaker 2: Varlin no run first inning. They also have a strikeout
Speaker 2: one which is interesting, but I decided to go with
Speaker 2: the no run first inning. I love Hunter Brown. Louis
Speaker 2: Varland's got me a little bit worried, but we're gonna
Speaker 2: go with it. And Flatty we talked about him. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go with total bases one and a half over
Speaker 2: for today, so that's my price.
Speaker 1: Picks, all right for me. I'm gonna go with Mookie
Speaker 1: Bets hitter fantasy score over nine against the Nets and
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbin Bobashett against Julio Teharon. What a blast from
Speaker 1: the past. I couldn't believe when I saw his name
Speaker 1: crop back up last week, so let's troll him. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Bobachette hitter fantasy score over eight and
Speaker 1: a half and raphaield Dever is just seven and a
Speaker 1: half against Cincinnati, so give me him against Weavers.
Speaker 2: He's nights really good matchups. By the way, I just
Speaker 2: want to point out if people get that you've got
Speaker 2: bets against Patrick Corbin and Washington, which I there's some
Speaker 2: bits of that game. I like, you've got Milwaukee with
Speaker 2: Tehran and Bishett and then Cincinnati with Luke Weaver. So
Speaker 2: he picked some really good matchups.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing, just trolling bat pitching. That's what
Speaker 1: I'm looking to do right now. That's how you get
Speaker 1: back on track betting wise. I don't love the games today.
Speaker 2: I really don't agree.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of things. So instead, let's go
Speaker 1: to the prop market. Lord is Guriel at home zero
Speaker 1: point five rbig. You can get this on betting pros
Speaker 1: at plus one point fifty five. That's a great number.
Speaker 1: Alwa's got to do was driving a run. I like
Speaker 1: that a lot. Uh, Mitch Keller two and a half
Speaker 1: earned runs. I'm gonna go with the under on that
Speaker 1: bad boy, and I'm gonna go with the over on
Speaker 1: the strikeout total at six and a half. So put
Speaker 1: those two two things together with a Again, some of
Speaker 1: the juice is a little tricky, but what you're gonna
Speaker 1: do is you're gonna put those two things together. Keller
Speaker 1: two and a half earned runs under six and a
Speaker 1: half strikeouts. They had a big win last night. I
Speaker 1: think they had a little momentum going there and go
Speaker 1: to the Pirates to win. Put that all together into
Speaker 1: a little parlay. I think you could get that done, Welsh.
Speaker 1: How about you were we look forward the betting stuff.
Speaker 1: Today's a little down night tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, like I think, like the specific positional props,
Speaker 2: they've gotten really difficult. I'll tell I'm actually trying to
Speaker 2: start to focus on more unders right now because I
Speaker 2: think we're like hedged a little bit on overs, and
Speaker 2: I look at the market and it's like there's not
Speaker 2: a lot of advantages I do. I love your Keller
Speaker 2: two and a half earned runs under. I really like
Speaker 2: that one. Actually might play that one today. The only
Speaker 2: other two that I've honed in on JAREDE. Schuster, Like
Speaker 2: we said, the four and a half strikeouts, he's hit
Speaker 2: that over his last couple, the age you've been go
Speaker 2: out well, and one of the you know, and I'm
Speaker 2: a target Bryce Elder yesterday a struggle against lefty Schusters
Speaker 2: picked it up. It's four and a half and it's
Speaker 2: not just crazy minus one fifteen. So I really like
Speaker 2: that one. And I'm playing a full game over the
Speaker 2: Dodgers in Washington, and I kind of wanted to play
Speaker 2: the first five. But I'm gonna go with against Corbyn,
Speaker 2: against Cinnegar. I'm gonna go with the full nine and
Speaker 2: a half over runs being scored on the Dodgers side
Speaker 2: in pretty big degrees. Patrick Corbin has been good, but
Speaker 2: this is against the Dodgers team, so I like that
Speaker 2: one nine and a half full game over Dodgers Washington.
Speaker 2: Those are my only two bets that I'm really in
Speaker 2: love with right now.
Speaker 1: All right, another thing that I'm just in love with,
Speaker 1: besides the Welsh and besides all the peanuts and Crackerjacks

Speaker 1: All right, DFS today Aaron Nola nine point nine K.
Speaker 1: I think he's sneaky only because it's the Mets and
Speaker 1: that's are gonna met sometimes. So Noel has n't been
Speaker 1: great this year. I'm looking for that Aaron Nola get
Speaker 1: right start again, so let's just plug and play it.
Speaker 1: Hunter Brown ten point five K A good situation, good
Speaker 1: matchup for him, George Kirby at nine point two, but
Speaker 1: especially Hunter Brown in that matchup today, look for a
Speaker 1: lot of strikeouts. That would be my favorite play on
Speaker 1: the board. Philly Toronto, Arizona. That's what I'm looking for,
Speaker 1: especially Philly going against carrasco Ezekiel Tovar just two point five.
Speaker 1: Jake McCarthy has been very good since getting called up again.
Speaker 1: I know Wels hates him, but I don't care. He's
Speaker 1: just two point six and getting more into that Toronto
Speaker 1: lineup too. We talked about Bashette and Flad Dalton Varshow
Speaker 1: just two point nine K two. I think my boy's
Speaker 1: starting to heat up a little bit, so I'm going
Speaker 1: with Julio Rodriguez for my home run call tonight again.
