00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to have it not. Actually,

14
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 2: he got.

15
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: A load of question. I'm gonna show you my oh face,

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: oh oh oh Tahani home run yesterday, Baby, let's go.

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Uh so I'm up on the board again. Let's get

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: after it. I know a lot of you on social

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: media yesterday saw it and like, up, Joe's gonna be annoying,

20
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: And I said, well, how is that different than any

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: other day? Welsh?

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see those homers go four hundred and forty

23
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 2: ozh no feet, I'm like, there we go I can't.

24
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: It all fairness, anybody on the Dodgers yesterday was probably

25
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: a good investment.

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: Well, also it was one of those classic days if

27
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: you guys remember at the end of the show where

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: I talked myself, I was like, by the way, kind

29
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,919
Speaker 2: of really like Bryce Harper, but let's go with Bobby Witt.

30
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: I just I do this all the time. I will

31
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: literally say the guy that I should kick, but I'm like,

32
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: but I'm stupid, so I'm gonna take that one.

33
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: I got the solution for you. You need a dummy

34
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: discord account where you have like the anti Welsh and

35
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: then eventually Anti Welsh gets enough home runs when it

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: is like the second guest Welsh, like Welsh Junior or whatever.

37
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: The melchh it'll just be a w But oh it's

38
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: very good.

39
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: That's very like bad? Is it? Is it the Melchi's

40
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: comic book? Is it the Melch? I love this is

41
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: here Jerry Nelson enjoying a chicken cutlet sandwich and hanging

42
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: out with us. There's nothing better than I just had

43
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: a chicken cut live before I came home.

44
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: What's a Cutlet no, I know, listen, but like, how

45
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: would you describe a cutlet more than like a fried

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: all right.

47
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: I make out standing chicken Cutlets my children know this.

48
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: First of all, you gotta get good chicken. You can't

49
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: just go by a like. You gotta get I got

50
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: the chicken part. You pound out the chicken. You do

51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: the egg, the flour, the bread crumbs, you fry them up.

52
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: Look the baking you want to you want to live forever.

53
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: Good for you. A proper chicken Cutlet you pound the

54
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: hell out of it, get it a little thinner, and

55
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: then you go ahead and you fry that bad boy.

56
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: A little bit of salt at the end. Boom. You

57
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: make sure your salt and pepper, a little garlic powder two.

58
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: I like to do before I dredge them. But that's

59
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: that's how you.

60
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: Know what makes it Cutlet what exactly makes the cut

61
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: and the lid.

62
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: Let's move on. I don't know. I don't know. Let's

63
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: talk about more good things. Cole Reagan's six innings hit

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: the strikeout number. It was a good day, Welsh, it's

65
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: a good day. We're up finally back rock and roll.

66
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler eleven strikeouts for clearly the young leader right

67
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: now in the National League. Like he is the guy

68
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: to beat. So the question is welsh Ken Zach Wheeler

69
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: maintained this pace. Somebody on extra hit me up. My

70
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: pitching stinks, my hitting is great. Can I trade Freddy

71
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: Freeman for Zach Wheeler? I said he could.

72
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: Could you trade Freddy Freeman for Wheeler?

73
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: I think that's all right.

74
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: I don't think, well, no, you could do it. I

75
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: don't think you're going to do it. I think with

76
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: the landscape of pitching, I think Zach Wheeler might be

77
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: one of the toughest dudes to go acquire right now.

78
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Any really really good starting pitcher is gonna cost way

79
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: more on the hitting front that you want. I think

80
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: I'd be willing to. I think it's an even even

81
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: Stevens type of deal. But you know, like the lack

82
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: of walks in the positive way for Wheeler, the big strikeouts.

83
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: I kind of wanted to play a ladder yesterday with

84
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: Wheeler and didn't work out. But yeah, I mean you

85
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: got the offensive support. He looks as locked in as

86
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: all can be. But yeah, I think it's gonna cost

87
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: like first round type of talent. Freeman's interesting because I

88
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: think if I were to present, we were to do

89
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: a poll and we were like, would you trade Alley

90
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: Day La Cruz for Zach Wheeler. I feel like people

91
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: would like freak out, like, oh my god, but Ellie's

92
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: got the upside. But even though like Freddy Freeman is

93
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: so safe, there's a little bit of a boringness to him.

94
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: Not elite you know, stolen bases, not elite homers. He's

95
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: just good everywhere. People would be more willing to move

96
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: a Freddy Freeman for Zach Wheeler than they would an

97
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: Ellie Da La Cruz. But those are the names that

98
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: I think would probably take to get a Zack Wheeler

99
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: right now. And is that gonna be worth it?

100
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: Don't?

101
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

102
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: A cutlet, by the way, the official definition a thin

103
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: slice of meat from the leg, ribs, or other parts

104
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: of veal, pork, or chicken. So typically like you take

105
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: a one single piece of chicken breast and then you

106
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: pound it out. You gotta pound it. You gotta tenderize

107
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: your meat.

108
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: You pound your meat.

109
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: That's how you get your stress out.

110
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 2: But how do you do it?

111
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: You do it like this, gee, geek, that's how you

112
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: do it. You do it like that. Yeah. Walker Buehler

113
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: returned to the mound three runs for innings Monday's game

114
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: against the the Marlins there, so again good to have

115
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: him back healthy. Justin Steele also returned yesterday four and

116
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: two thirds shutout inning, So Steele was better. Uh. San

117
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: Diego offense continues to struggle, by the way, just saying

118
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: I love the Cubby today with him Monaga on the

119
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: mound against against was it Randy Vasquez.

120
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: And the padrest up?

121
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: Nobody in that lineup said Louisa Rise has seen in

122
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: Monaga yet and he was over against him. So just saying,

123
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: today's Imanaga. But what do you think about Wheeler and

124
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: Tom Wheeler? What did you think about Steel and Walker Buehler.

125
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to talk about Wheeler. So so you

126
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: got that when you said Zach Wheeler earlier Walker Buehler.

127
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: If you put it together, it's Wheeler.

128
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: The fake players that we've created. We have got this

129
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 2: roster of like MLB the show, fake players and my

130
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: John Wick characters all stars. But yeah, yeah, yeah, well whatever,

131
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: it's a seventh year into MLB the Show or something

132
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 2: like that. But getting back to Walker Bueler. Walker Bueler

133
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: twenty two percent, with rate overall twenty seven percent CSW.

134
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: He was only he was averaging like ninety one on

135
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: the cutter. But the fastball that was kind of like

136
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: the big thing. That thing was back. It was actually

137
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: up over that last time we had seen him. It

138
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: was averaging just at ninety six. That was key to me.

139
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: So all the different variations of fastballs that he throws,

140
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: solid knuckle curve in there, getting some whifts thirty three

141
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: percent with rate, I actually thought it was really encouraging.

142
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: And you guys heard me. I was like, not super

143
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: into Walker Buehler for this first start. He did give

144
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: up some early on, but that was good on the

145
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: Justin Steel side. MO man, my man, Justin Steel looked

146
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: pretty locked in. I did say this was probably not

147
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: the start to go a big I wanted to do

148
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: the strikeouts early on, but you know, going up against

149
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: the Padres, that wasn't the first play to it. But

150
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: you know, like you can be comfortable with Justin Steel

151
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: clearly moving forward, and I really think it's more about

152
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: Walker Buhler here. Walker Buehler looks like he is in

153
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: that oldish form, So I feel very positive about that.

154
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: Though, very good.

155
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder if you consider moving him after a

156
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: couple starts knowing the trade in history.

157
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: It's interesting. Okay, here we go, Walker Buehler for Jared Duran,

158
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: who would rather have rest of season? Hmm, I know,

159
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: I I don't know.

160
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: Yeah you do today, I don't.

161
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: I haven't had.

162
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: I guess today I will go.

163
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Before the show and that look at it all that

164
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: protein's just surging through my veins.

165
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: Right, You guys don't understand, by the way, how difficult

166
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: it is on our time zones. It's lunchtime, crazy time

167
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: for Joe. I'm tired. It's like nine in the morning.

168
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: I get up at seven in the morning to get

169
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: ready for the show. And Joe's like, I've had my day,

170
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: blah blah blah, like our energies.

171
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 1: I've already been to the gym, I've already eaten my

172
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: my protein. I'm already you know, had three meetings recorded

173
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: to videos.

174
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's it's crazy, but I might only

175
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: Walker Buehler because of the the Dodgers and just like

176
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: the pitching market in general. But I'm talking about like

177
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: selling high stop laughing.

178
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: Everybody enjoyed Walsh's last day on the program today. It's

179
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: been a good run.

180
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I wasn't the one that was like this for show.

181
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: I was just showing people how a cutlet is prepared.

182
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: I know, and that's all I'm talking about. I don't

183
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: know what you're talking about. You pounded on Jack Flaherty. Still,

184
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: Jack Flaherty, what I mean? This is not something I

185
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: saw coming. I thought, again, I think I said this

186
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: on this show. If not, I said it on the

187
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: TV show. I said, there was a part of me

188
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: this year.

189
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: It was like, huh, Jack Flaherty, what if this is

190
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: the year where Jack Flaherty kind of like puts it

191
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: back together.

192
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be something that question I did.

193
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: I asked that question aloud and I went nah, and

194
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: I just like, I can't do this, and I wish

195
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: I did six more strikeouts and six innings. They did

196
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: loose to the Guardians, but he only gave up two runs.

197
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: It was still a really good start for Jack Flaherty.

198
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. It's been really solid for the

199
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: first like six starts for this guy. Is this the

200
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: perfect example of the prototypical I don't know if he's

201
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: in your video this week of the Cell High Guy,

202
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: because Flaherty so far has been unbelievable. He's been free.

203
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: There is a script you could write, the injuries come

204
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: back around. There is a script you could write where obviously,

205
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: you know the Detroit Tigers are still very much a negative,

206
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: a work in progress where they're still, you know, not

207
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: very good. When you look at the deeper stats of

208
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty too, just to kind of throw this out there,

209
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: three eight six ERA on the year he's expected ERA

210
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 1: two nine nine is x FIP two two four. So

211
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: this is not like smoke and mirrors. So do you

212
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: hold or do you sell Flarity?

213
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm a sell. I mean, this might be one of

214
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: those like jo just Welsh is going to be dead

215
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: on wrong the whole year. That's fine. I don't buy it.

216
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: I don't buy the Flarity stuff long term. I understand,

217
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: like what he's doing is amazing, but he hasn't been consistent.

218
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: Like that's the thing. That's the only thing about him

219
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: is he's been wildly inconsistent. I was trying to look

220
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: at this right now and I'm not finding it. All Right,

221
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: here we go. I wanted to look at pitch values

222
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: on Flarity because one thing feels very Eric Lauer from

223
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago esque is just how like

224
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: dominant his fastball is right now because in this last

225
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: start nine hour I know, well, no Eric, like two

226
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 2: years ago, he had like one of the highest rated

227
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: pitch values of a fastball, the most whist. His fastball

228
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: was destroying everybody. But that is a very like reliever

229
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: type thing, like starting pitchers getting all of your whifts

230
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. They just don't usually like long

231
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: term holt when it's all about the fastball. Clairy had

232
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: nine whiffs of forty one percent whiff rate on his

233
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: fastball in this last start nine swing and whiffs five

234
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: on the slider. It's been good. So I'm saying all

235
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 2: this to say, all right, I wanted to see what

236
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: do his pitch values look like. His slider is currently

237
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: the one hundred and eleventh, but it's a positive. His

238
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: fastball is a positive, but it's only at a one

239
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: or no. That is his curveball. His fastball right now,

240
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: even though he got all those whiffs, this is what

241
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: I'm leading to negative six run value. A negative six.

242
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: That fastball is doing a lot of stuff that is

243
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: still not massively valuable, and I don't think the secondaries

244
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: are as good. He's probably way out performing because he

245
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: wasn't even on my radar. I'm like, Jack Flairity, get

246
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: out of my face, get out of my right.

247
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the opponents too. He's faced the

248
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: White Sox, the A's, the Twins twice, Tampa's offense, the

249
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: Cardinals offense, the strikes out a ton and Cleveland.

250
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: Every single one of those but Cleveland massive strikeout.

251
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: Guys.

252
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: Here's where I'm wrong. Flaerity has value where I'm like, nope, never,

253
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: not going to do it. But what I do love

254
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: at this point, like you alluded to, there are some

255
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: underlying stats that speak pretty well to him. I would

256
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: sell him. Maybe you could sell him for Walker Buehler

257
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 2: right now. Probably not because I don't think anyone believes.

258
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one's gonna buy a you know, this wasn't

259
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: gonna buy a guy on the Tigers over a guy

260
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: on the Dodgers. But I think it is more of

261
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: a what was that face?

262
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: Just fixing? Sorry because I don't know if you're looking.

263
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: I was just like me, You're still on camera, so everyone, no, no,

264
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: but like literally made this ca you went.

265
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: Well, no, Greece, listen, I have a relationship with the

266
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: audience sometimes when you're reading sheets and stuff like that,

267
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: and I was just letting them know I acknowledge it,

268
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: but you made.

269
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: You made like the the duck face kind of thing

270
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: that you were like. It was very Oh my god,

271
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: get pretty for leading off.

272
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I.

273
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: Do single double walk twice. So hopefully he starting to

274
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: pull out of things. I told you you're missing your

275
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: window to buy on Nick Castiano's by now rookie, lookie,

276
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: little sad here thing. Parker Meadows expected to be optioned

277
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: today to Triple A. I know that was one of

278
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: your guys, but it's okay. Things will get better. Mason

279
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: Black not very good yesterday, five runs, eight hits, four

280
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: and a third against the Phillies. Paul Skeens scheduled to

281
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: pitch for Triple A again this week. Welsh, this was

282
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: not in the plant.

283
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: No, this was this was a counterplan because I had

284
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: said I thought this start coming up was the Paul

285
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: Skins start. Here's the one thing though, the last start

286
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 2: he wasn't very good. The previous one we nailed it

287
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: seventy five pitches, so this was the start we needed eighty.

288
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 2: He went sixty six. He went less because he walked

289
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: a few, he gave up his first homer. I don't

290
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 2: really understand why they babied him down. Part of me

291
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: was like, Oh, maybe they're babying him down a tiny

292
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: bit to get him going. I'm baffled by this stuff.

293
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: Might be the next start. If it's not the next start,

294
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: then I clearly don't know what the hell I'm talking

295
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: about and I can't figure it out. But I thought

296
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: it was this one. So it's either the seventeenth or

297
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: the eighteenth. And here are the two starts, though both

298
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: are against the Cubs. Why did I think they would

299
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 2: do it on this one? Because it's at home? They

300
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: could he could face the Cubs at home in Pittsburgh.

301
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: Otherwise it's going on the road to Chicago.

302
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: If you want the big gate, I get that. You know,

303
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: you want to have that big first start at home.

304
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm all for that. Give you know, Pirates fans have

305
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: not had a lot to cheer about in the last

306
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: ten years. Give him something. Here's a question from Andy

307
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: t Our, Pier's going to shut down Jared Jones at

308
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: some point in backfield with Skens. No, they're gonna shut

309
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: them both down at some point. I hate to break

310
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: it that everybody.

311
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: I don't think they will, don't.

312
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: I think no.

313
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: I think they're managing. I think they're managing. If they're

314
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: in it, they're not shutting these guys down. If they

315
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: are completely completely out of it, then they're just gonna

316
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: like baby. I don't know if there'll be any like

317
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: massive actual shutdown. They're babying Paul Skins right now in

318
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: theory to not have to do crazy babying at the

319
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: back end of the year. Jared Jones that, I mean,

320
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, if certain starts they didn't let him go

321
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: sixty pitches. I don't know.

322
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't here.

323
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: We also just don't know what's going on with the pirates.

324
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: Why would you not have Paul skin Why is Mason

325
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: Black making it to the majors and Paul Skins isn't

326
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: when he's the most dominant minor league pitcher we've seen

327
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: since like Steven Strasburger or I think Strasburg Major.

328
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: It's funny you said that. I was thinking the other day,

329
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: which I don't do too often because I know that's

330
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: probably dangerous thing for me, But I was thinking, you know,

331
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: about pitching prospects with this level of hype and anticipation,

332
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: and of course Strasburg comes to mind, sure, and we

333
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: all know what became of that, which was bouts of

334
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: disappointment and injury with every now and then sporadic greatness.

335
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: I think is that fair? Is that a fair assessment

336
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: of the Strasburg career. Mark Pryor was another guy I

337
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: thin of Mark Pryor to you, and that's why we're friends.

338
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: So Mark Pryor is another one where you had the

339
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: oh my god, this guy is gonna be camp missed.

340
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: We all drooled over ourselves, invested over invested, and it

341
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: was short lived and never had at least Strasburg had

342
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: the other glimpses.

343
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: You're going down a path. People are not going to

344
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: like where you're chating.

345
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: I know. And then fred Dinger got the other one here,

346
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: which is Kerry Wood again the same kind of thing. Now,

347
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: Carrie Wood did last a little while, and carry Wood

348
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: did have like a little second life there towards the

349
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: end of relief and stuff like that. But still it

350
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: is difficult, you know, even going back to the ages

351
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: of Dwight Gooden back in the eighties, right where you

352
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: have this pitching prospect that is just so thunderous and

353
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: everybody he must see television. It doesn't always work out well.

354
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Skeens is gonna be that guy

355
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: like Skens could turn out to be Roger Clemmins, you know,

356
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: where he's just great and he has a Hall of

357
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: fam career and he delivers on that. But it is

358
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: worth noting that it feels like, more often than not,

359
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: every time I tried to find one of these guys

360
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: that had this level of hype around him and this

361
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: level of anticipation coming to fruition and actually being what

362
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: we wanted it to be, it hasn't worked out more

363
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: often than not. And I don't want that to be

364
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: the case, be cause Skens is good for baseball. But

365
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: at the same time, Welsh, do you have that same

366
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: reservation that I do where you're kind of like watching

367
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: and hiding your eyes at the same time.

368
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I just don't approach like players like that, like, oh, hey,

369
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: there are other guys that were super good, so this

370
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: guy that's super good might not be that. Like, yeah,

371
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: there is a big track record when you go through

372
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: the players, but the game continuously changes, the management of players,

373
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: change of the injuries are changing players and stuff like that.

374
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: I just think it's good to be critical, even though,

375
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: like I was thinking about this the other day, like

376
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: the com Manzarto stuff. Commennzarto comes up to the majors

377
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: and for you know, three strikeouts in the first one

378
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: and we kind of talk so glowingly and stuff like that,

379
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: and I can but no, but you can understand, like

380
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: people get frustrated and stuff like that. It's just because

381
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: baseball is unlike any other sport and how long it

382
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: takes or the game to fully catch up. And sometimes

383
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: guys has.

384
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: More failure always because you fail seventy percent of the time.

385
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: You're great with pitchers, you fail seventy percent at the time.

386
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: You're out of the bleep Mackenzie Gore before.

387
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 2: I mean, if we're getting blasted by Mackenzie go no,

388
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: no no, But I'm saying, like Mackenzie Gore was tippy

389
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: top and then kind of came back and then it's

390
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 2: like slowly been finding himself. There's a lot of Jack flirty.

391
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: There are guys that end up finding themselves and there's

392
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 2: ups and downs. I guess the way that it can

393
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: fail is when we let our preconceived hype take over

394
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: a certain player and don't allow for growth, or also

395
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: an understanding that Paul Skeen's right now is the tippy

396
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: top of the prospect world. And then if we look

397
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: back and we're like, he was good, he was really solid,

398
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: then it's like a failure. The only reason that equates

399
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 2: to what you're saying to me is shortened careers that

400
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 2: are destroyed. Matt Harvey someone brought up in the chat.

401
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: But even Matt Hartley. I remember when Matt Harvey came

402
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: up and it was like, oh wow, they've got this

403
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: pitching prospect that's really come along quickly. Things like that.

404
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't the number one overall pick in the draft.

405
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: He wasn't a guy that went from college to Triple

406
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: A to major leagues, you know. It wasn't a guy

407
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: that was like what Skens is doing right now is

408
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: just unbelievable. It is Strasbourg guests the only guy in

409
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: recent memory and prior that I can remember that was

410
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: like this where it was like a fever pitch and

411
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: no pun intended. But like that, to me is where

412
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: we're at with Skeens. And it does beg that question

413
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: about how much of a hall could you get for

414
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: skeens in a dynasty league right now? Like it is

415
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: so just everyone's so wrapped up in it. It is

416
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: an interesting conversation. I'm glad we're having it too.

417
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 2: And the last thing I would end is, I do

418
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: think one of the reasons that maybe you could be

419
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: positive that of the babying of Paul's skens is I

420
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: think they know when he gets to the majors, they

421
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: the control is kind of gone. The proverbial control is

422
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: kind of gone, because once he's there, like he's just

423
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: gonna go. Like you can't have him fail, you can't

424
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: bring him down, you can't do major shutdowns. I think

425
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: they know they just have to go. So they are

426
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: babying this process across the board and then everything else.

427
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: You know, for us from a fantasy perspective, is it

428
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: going to be worth it? It probably is? It Really

429
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: it reminds me of maybe even how Max Scherzer came

430
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: out early on. Maybe there'll be a few blow up games,

431
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 2: but just big strikeout games that are coming and that's

432
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: why we're holding.

433
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why he even went to Detroit. Did he

434
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: figure things out?

435
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, Diamondbacks mismanaged. They had weird period of time

436
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 2: where you guys couldn't throw certain pitches and stuff. But

437
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 2: if it's not this start, I do believe it's going

438
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 2: to be the next start. We just wanted to get

439
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 2: to that eighty pitch mark. We didn't get it in

440
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: the last start, and I think that might be key

441
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: to him starting this next one, which might put him

442
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: on the road, or maybe they just keep playing with us.

443
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: And as I tweeted, we're gonna need Kendrick Lamar to

444
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: help us get Paul Skins there.

445
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone's tweeting to Kendrick Lamar and Drake

446
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: right now, like.

447
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: Trying to meet the Charringtons was my tweet.

448
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: So look, I know Strasbourg won a world serious guys

449
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: like I get it. I know he had some good seasons,

450
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: But you can't look back at the career of Strasburg

451
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: and say that it reached the potential of what it

452
00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: could be. There's just no, that's just being false. It's

453
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: just not true. Three up and three down. Yeah, that's

454
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: that's a definition. By the way, we learned the definition

455
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: of true and false and the definition of cutlets. Today

456
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: on the program Corey Seeger three run Homer that's an

457
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: op Sibion Wolds Richardson. Eight strikeouts, well eight, no decision,

458
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: but still eight. Boy, that Mariner's offense. Sure could you

459
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: some help Mariners get on that. Mitch Keller second career

460
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: complete game, third win of the season against the Angels.

461
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: So Mitch Keller's got to be the most in fury

462
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: in guy. Like, you know, he has these starts, he

463
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: looks dreadful, and then all of a sudden there's a

464
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: complete game and you're just like, what how three down?

465
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Anderson. We just talked about selling Tyler Anderson, right,

466
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: We talked about the difference of his era and his

467
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: X era and those other numbers. Well, four earned runs

468
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: again against the Pirates, not good. Matt Chapman over four

469
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: three k's and rodri Munos six runs, seven hits, four

470
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: and two thirds, so not good for him. A ton

471
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: of injuries, so let's just fly through them here because

472
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: we got bets and other things to get through. Blake Snell,

473
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: today's going to face live hitters. That's good. Brox and

474
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: Garrett thirteen strikeouts over five and two thirds. Now it

475
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: was just Florida Complex League, but still put on you Braxton,

476
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: Garrett by.

477
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: The way, real quick, Yeah, Florida Complex League. I was

478
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: at the airson A Complex League yesterday last night. There

479
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: is another I just want to point this out. There's

480
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 2: nothing to do with this would have been better for rookie.

481
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: LOOKI but you got me thinking about it. There's another

482
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: Guerrero coming. You can see on my timeline Pablo Guerrero

483
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 2: Vlad's other sun playing out here for the Rangers. So

484
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: make sure to follow me on Twitter. Thinking of that,

485
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: if we only had a major league pitching, they all

486
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 2: strike out everybody. Remember, these are seventeen eighteen year old

487
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 2: kids that are out there, So Brax and Garrett's thirteen

488
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: is more equivalent to like four in real life.

489
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: Turns. There you go, there's the equivalent. See a j

490
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: Puck struck out two in his rehab assignment in one inning.

491
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: Nadiavaldi's got good news apparently on the groin, so he's

492
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: making progress. Jake Berger coming off the il, so the

493
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: yay guys actually playing baseball. Francisco Alvarez that the stitches

494
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: removed from his left thumb, so that's a good thing.

495
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: We'll hopefully get more news on that. Maybe he'll make

496
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: a sooner recovery. Who knows, Probably not. Christian Yelich was

497
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: taking part in batting practice and fielding a little so

498
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: maybe working his way back to return just in case.

499
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on that. Austin Hayes begins his rehab assignment,

500
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: which I can only mean means heston Kers Dad's gonna

501
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: be get sent down great? And then why Langford finally

502
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: did hit the il with the hamstring? And uh it's

503
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: also Brian WU time could be activated this weekend against

504
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: the A's. I know people were asking about WU. There

505
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: you go, we gave you the WU. And you know

506
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: what else we give the people Welsh? Besides the WU?

507
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: Do you know what else I'm asking?

508
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: Oh, that was like more rhetorical. Well, Joe, what else

509
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: do we give the people?

510
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,360

519
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: everybody enjoyed that. I'm sure you did. Let's start with

520
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: Luis gil under five and a half strikeouts today plus

521
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: one ten again the Ashozo strike out a lot. I've

522
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: been beaten to death the two times I tried to

523
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: go against that, and I'm just gonna give in. Now

524
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: you're getting plus money on this bad boy in the under,

525
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: so let's go with the under on that one. The

526
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: Cubs on the run line, Choto Imanaga. I mentioned this

527
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: at the top of the show on leading off, the

528
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: guy's done era under one. He's undefeated. Is the first

529
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: time around the league for him, first time the Padres

530
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: are seeing him. The only guy that seen us as

531
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: far as a rise who went over against him. I

532
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a long day at the office

533
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: for the Padres. Plus one thirty eight on the minus

534
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: one and a half run line for the Cubbies today.

535
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: I love this one, So give me the Cubs on

536
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: that plus one thirty eight number. And Jose Bhutto, you

537
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: know I didn't believe any last time. You proved me wrong.

538
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: It's going against the Cars today. They strike out a

539
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: ton over just four and a half strikeouts at minus

540
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: one oh four is a great one. And as far

541
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: as the parlay of the day goes, let's go back

542
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: to those Cubbies here Randy Vasquez on the other side

543
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: of this game, I want the Cubs. I want Chotto Emanaga.

544
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: Give me the over four and a half strikeouts on Imanaga,

545
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: it's a small number. He can get to five and

546
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: give me that run line. You give me both of those,

547
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: you get two and a half to one. So that

548
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: is the parlay of the day. Welsh, what do you

549
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 1: have for the people?

550
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: I like some of your players. I actually think your

551
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 2: Luis Kiel one is very sneaky. I might tail that

552
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 2: one that's he's tough because he's a big strikeout guy.

553
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 2: But this is not the team we've also seen walk

554
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: issues with it. Want to think about it. I think

555
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: I am going to tell that one. I've got a

556
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: strikeout for one for you as well. And it's a

557
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: little bit of a parlay. So Choteo Emanaga, who we like.

558
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 2: It's a tough matchup. I want to take the just

559
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: normal overcase. But Padres, as we mentioned, yesterday with Justin Stield.

560
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 2: They can be a little bit tough. I'm dumbing it

561
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: down a little bit and we're going shouto Emanaga four

562
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 2: strikeouts plus pairing that with Kyle Harrison at five strikeouts.

563
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: Who's got Colorado who was awful? They always strike out?

564
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 2: So five strikeouts or Harrison four from Imonaga, pair them

565
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 2: together minus one twelve. I know it's not big plus money,

566
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: but I really like that one. I personally put two

567
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 2: units on it. That's one of my favorite players of

568
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: the day, Arizona Diamondback. So the first five you can

569
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: get the money line over at bet three six five,

570
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 2: one of the best lines out there. At minus one

571
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: twenty five, they've got Zack Gallon on the mound going

572
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: up against Frankie Montes. Gallon has been a little bit

573
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 2: wishy washy, but the offense for the Arizona Diamondbacks keeps going.

574
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 2: Frankie Montes with a return from injury. I like Arizona.

575
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 2: You can also and this is when I'm personally playing.

576
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: If you don't want to just play the money line,

577
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: money line safer because if it's tied, you just push

578
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: your bet. But if you want to play the Diamondbacks

579
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 2: aer up by a run after the first five, you

580
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 2: can get even money just plus one hundred. So that

581
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: is one that I'm playing. And then I'm going Texas

582
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: and Oakland first five over four and a half runs.

583
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: Jose Urena on the mound, rest rippling is okay, is fine,

584
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: Oakland's offense has been pretty hot. Dumbest thing I said

585
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: all off season was like he's longder but Jose rain

586
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: is awful. So I really like this to go over

587
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: four and a half runs through the first five innings.

588
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 2: So I am taking that bad boy getting in at

589
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: minus one fifteen because books don't I don't know one

590
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: hundred percent know where the direction they want to go.

591
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: They're just like, screw it, one fifteen across the board,

592
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: So give me those over runs. So again, emon Aga,

593
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: Harrison k Prop Combo strikeouts, Arizona first five money line

594
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: and Texas Oakland first five over total runs at four

595
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 2: and a half and.

596
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: Boom and there you have it. Everyone, Thank you for

603

Speaker 1: bag here on the home run board today because I'm

604
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: excited that I've moved up to eleven, but I'm move

605
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: from the tent spot to the eleven spot because everybody

606
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: else got home runs two yesterday. So there you have it.

607
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: That's life, that's how you live it. So today I'm

608

Speaker 1: gonna let it ride. I'm gonna show you my old
