1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is leading

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: off live. It is me Joey P, joe P Zapia,

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: and of course that's my friend the Welsh, and it's

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: all of you, the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks hanging

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: out here talking baseball. We got a fun Friday program.

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to some more of your questions today

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: because Thursday not a lot of games, but Welsh certainly

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: a lot of home runs, especially if you are the Angels.

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: My goodness, I had a lot of fomo because I

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: told you yesterday my second choice was Mike Trout. He

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: was your choice to hit home runs. And that guy

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: hit home runs yesterday.

13
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes your first and sometimes your last. Joe and you

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: were last. I was first. We did get two homers

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: with Mike Trout to push up on the board, and

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: the only thing that could have made that entire game

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: better would have been another two shots from Kyrone Paris.

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: As the Kyne Paris story continues to move on, it

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: was a very very good short slate day. Foreign two

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: homers on the board. I'm ready to roll.

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: A baby, yes, well at two homers for Joe Adell,

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: for Taylor Ward for Mike Trout. So I think the

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: bigger story here Kirian powers in a bunch of home

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: runs too. I think the bigger story is this ballpark.

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: Can we talk about the ballpark a little bit here?

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: This little tiny, rinky dink fake Yankee stadium down in

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Florida that they're playing in now, And I'm gonna try

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: to take advantage of it this weekend in some bedding.

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: But I think everybody needs to stand up and notice

30
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: here that when there's a bad picture on the mound

31
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: or maybe even two, the balls jumping out of that place.

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: And we haven't even gotten to the summer yet, so

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: let's just call it what it is. The Angels are

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: having a good run, that's great, but that there's a

35
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: lot of home runs. And if you watch these home

36
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: runs too, some of them are barely getting over this wall.

37
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: This is not exactly major league kind of stuff. It's

38
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: becoming Southern Yankee Stadium, which is exactly what it was

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: when the Yankees designed.

40
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: You're very much irked by these wall scraping homers. It's

41
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: like three street days where you've brought now you've brought

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: up these like.

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: Because they're all happening in the same place. They're all

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: happening in the same place. That's what I'm saying. I'm

45
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: just saying for it's great. I'm very happy for you.

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: I'm happy for my trout. I'm happy for Kira in Paris.

47
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: He seems like a heck of a young man. I

48
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: like him. I'm rooting for him. But this is business.

49
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: This is business, okay, and I'm trying to make sure

50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: that we're going out good advice here as best we can. Now,

51
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: we also had history made yesterday. The first official Sinko

52
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Stinko goes to Nick Castillano. So I feel great about this.

53
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: This is going to be a trivia question.

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: Call your family generations from now there you go.

55
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: So, what did you think about it? Would Nick Cassiano

56
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 1: is the guy that you thought might be the first

57
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: sinkos didn't go? I didn't. I didn't think you'd be.

58
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: I got be honest with you. I hadn't sat up

59
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: and thought, you know, who will be the first official

60
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: thinker Stinko. I thought I kind of was like, in

61
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: my brain it was Altuve having that or actually it

62
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: was Cheerio having that Oz for five with five strikeouts,

63
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: but I am glad because I got a rush of

64
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: tweets when it happened, of like a bunch of different people,

65
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, okay, everybody is into this.

66
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: So Nick Castianos, He's made us proud. He's in the

67
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 2: record books for the most insane home run call of

68
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: all time. He is now connected to natural disasters and

69
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: connected to the first ever Sinko Stinko.

70
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: That is kind of funny. Like Nick Casias, weird things

71
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: do follow him in his baseball career. This ye is

72
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: one of many. Now, I didn't even think about that.

73
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: We could do though pretty.

74
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: Good in the futures. We could do a Sinco Stinko board.

75
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: We could try to track in bed who do we

76
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: think is gonna happen. What would be best is if

77
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: we it was like right at the start of the

78
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: season and we just said from here on out, who

79
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: is the Sinco Stinko leader for the season. Everybody gets

80
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: one name and then you go.

81
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: That would be well, congratulations Nick Cassianas good on you,

82
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: my friend. Let's get to more things that Welsh is

83
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: very happy about. Spencer Schwellenbach another great star for him.

84
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: His era is now point four to five. His whip

85
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: is point sixty five. He has nineteen strikeouts and three

86
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: walks in twenty innings. Welsh, I mean, I feel like

87
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: this is just your data globe tier. I feel like

88
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: this is all Welsh all the time.

89
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: Well, how that usually works is I will be put

90
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: back in my place today. It is always yeah, yeah, yeah,

91
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: don't I don't hold on too long. Like it was

92
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: a good day. Betting was good, homers were good, Schwellenbach

93
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: was great. I mean that the last bet we threw

94
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: in was the under three and a half runs in

95
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: that game, and that one smacked. But yeah, we'll be

96
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: putting our place pretty quick, so trying to be careful.

97
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: But it was a great pitching matchup. If you ended

98
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: up watching a Lozardo was like a little a little

99
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: bit wilder, where Schwellenbach was just it's just as almost unhittable.

100
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 2: His slider was absolutely ridiculous, and that one had eighteen

101
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: swings on it. It got a couple called strike, it

102
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: had some whiffs. There wasn't big whiffs in this. But

103
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: I had mentioned I didn't love the strikeout props in

104
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: this because Philly had actually done pretty well against Righty's

105
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: and Atlanta had actually done pretty well against lefties, so

106
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: it wasn't like this big strikeout matchup, but forcing fastball

107
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: forty one percent CSW, he was hitting his points. They

108
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: both gave up a lot of hits in general, but man,

109
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: just watch Spencer Schwellenbach and you just know he has control.

110
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 2: And that's something that's some elite pitchers if you've watched

111
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: throughout the season, like the elite elite guys, when you

112
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: just know at any moment they have got control of

113
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: the bat, even if they gave up a hit, or

114
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: give up two hits, or they walk somebody, and you

115
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: know they can get back. That's that sign of the

116
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: elite elite pitchers. And there's not a lot of guys

117
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: that are holding that right now. You feel like Skeens

118
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: has it, Scooble has it, to Graham has it. But

119
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: even some of the really good ones Garrett Crochet does

120
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: not have that this year. Schwellenbach does. He is in

121
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 2: control at all times and he is going to vastly,

122
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: vastly have a big fantasy return on your drafting. I

123
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: don't think there's anything else to do about it, but yeah,

124
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: it's another it's a third straight great outing from schwelly Well.

125
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: His stock for Cy Young has moved up considerably after yesterday.

126
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it. You want to

127
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: take a guess of what the Spencer Schwellenbach say Young

128
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: number one right now?

129
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: I think it was last time you told me it

130
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: was like eleven to one or no, it's nine to one.

131
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: I said it. Actually we were talking about somebody else.

132
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to say it's probably like.

133
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: Six to one right now, seven seven hundred.

134
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Steine's got hit a little bit interesting, I

135
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 2: could see that.

136
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hazus Zarda, as you mentioned in that same game,

137
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: one run, six hit, six innings, Hiss at one point

138
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: five zeros, WHI was at one twenty five strikeouts, five

139
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: k's and eighteen innings. He's been great, also has been good.

140
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller looks sharp despite the fact that the Red

141
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: Sox can't catch anything. They moved Devers off third base

142
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: and the defense continues to fall apart for this team.

143
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: But fourteen error they're up to now it's absurd. But anyway,

144
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: Walker Buehller, no decision, strikeouts, seven and six and a

145
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: third innings. Boy, if only he was a free agent,

146
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: and maybe I don't know. Maybe the Orioles could have

147
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: maybe taken a shot on a guy like Walker Bueller,

148
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Maybe just maybe Gavin Williams. We talked about him in

149
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: the buy video earlier this week, and go back and

150
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: watch that if you're still looking to make some deals.

151
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: This weekend, we said, hey, this start against the White

152
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: Sox is crucial. He has a good start, that window's

153
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: going to close. Try to acquire him beforehand. And we

154
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: were right. Seven strikeouts in five innings, one run ball

155
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: over the White Sox. So Gavin Williams hopefully getting back

156
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: on track. Speaking of getting on track, Ronald Acunya is

157
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: set to meet with a team of doctors early next

158
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: week and the expectation is that he is gonna be

159
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: cleared for lateral movement, moving like this back and forth,

160
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: so that means the outfield. That means pretty soon we're

161
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: gonna get Ronald Acunya. Now, let's play the game. If

162
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: he starts getting cleared next week and by next weekend

163
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: is playing in the outfield, how many days give me

164
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: the date in May that we get Ronald Acunya. I'll

165
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: say I'll set the over under May eighth, Friday, May eighth,

166
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: it's a Friday, it's spring, it's warm, Friday, May eighth.

167
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: Overall, Sorry, you just ended so abruptly. Oh Joey froze.

168
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: Though I think it was a Joey freeze. We almost

169
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: got the puppet that ended so abruptly. I did I would.

170
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, was that you said Friday, I'm gonna

171
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: go to Friday the eighth, nine ten, I'm gonna say eleventh.

172
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: But on a Monday. I'm gonna say we start fresh

173
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: with the Monday. I could give you a better one

174
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: if I was looking at the schedule. So I kind

175
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: of think it might be like a home series that

176
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: they do. But let's go with you sitting nine uh nine,

177
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: I mean I'm gonna go eleventh.

178
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Okay, the eleventh it is for Welsh. I'm gonna take

179
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: the I'm gonna take the eighth. There. Well, I was

180
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: letna say over under on the eighth, So I'm gonna say,

181
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: m I guess I'll go over there too, because I

182
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: do think it'll be on that weekend, so right around there.

183
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a push. Maybe the eighth is exactly the date.

184
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: Now we have to get ourselves prepared for disappointments. And

185
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: we were trying to get everybody prepared for that because

186
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: all those Zibbie Matthews was the guy that we were

187
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: hoping we were gonna get. We did say on the

188
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: show yesterday, and I think the day before too, that

189
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: it might be David Festa because he's had more experience

190
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: in the major leagues, and it will be David Festa

191
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: at least for now. So Pablo Lopez goes to the

192
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: IL with the hamstring, so Festa gets the call up. Now,

193
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: Festa was pretty good after those first couple of Rocky

194
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: starts last year, he did not have a good spring.

195
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: So is Festa a streamer for you potentially while he

196
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: fills in for mister Lopez.

197
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: Okay, so the first answer because a couple things. Her

198
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: first answer is maybe long term. I'm not starting him today.

199
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: Somebody had tweeted like me and like Frank Stamfle and

200
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: stuff you could. I don't particularly want to start him.

201
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: Five Vra and his two starts in the minors so

202
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: far this year year really high whip. I'm actually kind

203
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: of going against him as more of a longer term

204
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: at I might be interested, but I did the same

205
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 2: thing because our fantasy pros account tweeted out like hey,

206
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 2: David Festa, and I'm like, that's not how you spell

207
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 2: Zebbie Matthews, and then people had fun with it. But

208
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: here's the real piece to it. Though Paba Lopez his

209
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: start was for Monday. This does not line up with Monday,

210
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: so Zebby is likely to be called up, and it's

211
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: been talked about four Monday, so we might see Zebbi

212
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: for a two start next week, or they're talking about

213
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: a six man rotation with days off, and I don't know.

214
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,719
Speaker 2: I would assume Zebi lined up with Pablo doesn't fit

215
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: the six man role, or maybe David Festa does more,

216
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to see the results. I'm not

217
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: starting Festa. I might start Zebe on Monday and he's

218
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: better lying to potentially have like a two start, but

219
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: that's the current landscape for them. Is Festa and Zebi

220
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: theoretically are both gonna be up. I line with Zebe

221
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: a tiny bit, but both should be a little a

222
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: little weary with both of those guys.

223
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: Before we get to more disappointments, let's talk about your questions.

224
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: Matt on the mound, I have two util spots. Who

225
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: should I start today? Ben Rice Kira in Paris and Volpi.

226
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: I think it's Rice in Paris, don't you thank you?

227
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: You got to play the hot hands here?

228
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think so. I mean because you did

229
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 2: say today, you didn't say, like, no, should I cut?

230
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: Well? Volpy's back home, so this is where Volpi.

231
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: Is, you know, yeah, exactly.

232
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: That's also viable. But ben Rice is more viable. And

233
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 1: I'll think it gets at Paris right now. With the

234
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: way he's played. You gotta keep riding the wave. That's

235
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Here's one from Cookie Berger was

236
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: dropped in my head. Head category league is he must

237
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: grab and stash or bench right? If so, how much fab? Well,

238
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: I'll see one hundred dollars fab right now? I would

239
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: drop what twelve on him? Thirteen? I think you gotta

240
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: bid that to get him because somebody's gonna be aggressive.

241
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: What do you think?

242
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? I fifteen was like where I would go Max.

243
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: It's a little bit volatile. But you guys know, I'm

244
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 2: in on Jake Berger right now, crazy low babbitt. I

245
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: think he's going to bounce back, So yes, i'd pick

246
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 2: him up. I would try not to like make him

247
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: a fab bust or anything like that. But yeah, somewhere

248
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: from ten to fifteen percent. Just see or like regroup

249
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: with how your league usually is with guys like that.

250
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: Maybe no one's going to be hyper aggressive, but that's

251
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 2: a good number.

252
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the data, but I do want to

253
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: see this Tampa ballpark worse than Sacramento. I don't know.

254
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: We got to find out the data of how many

255
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: home runs have been hitting both of those ballparks, and

256
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: you know Zach lytell certainly, he'll tell you, right. I

257
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: think it's no doubt about that. Let's see one you

258
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: can find that data. I'm going to get to more

259
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: disappointments because the White Sox selected the contract of Omar

260
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: Nevaias from Triple A because Cory Lee, the catcher, went

261
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: on the IL. We were hoping we'd get Kyle Teel,

262
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: but we didn't get him either. So there you go.

263
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: So Faiss is still the everyday catcher. Just hold your

264
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: horses for now on All of.

265
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: That is okay, So I've got some data for you.

266
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: Okay.

267
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: So is the A's stadium called Sutter Health Park? Is

268
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: that what their new minor league? So?

269
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: Sutter Health Park? Yes, Sacramento, Yes, cool.

270
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: So what do you want. You want overall ballpark factor.

271
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: You want home run facts.

272
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: Home runs hitten in that ballpark and home runs hitten

273
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: in the any bitty Tampa ballpark.

274
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: So based on the home run factor, A's is quite

275
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 2: a bit more of a home run ballpark. They currently

276
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 2: ranked the ninth in home run ballpark factor just this

277
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 2: year against both righty's and lefties and the A's The

278
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: Rays is actually George M. Steinbrenner Field is actually bottom

279
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: ten in the league in homer so it's not a

280
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: big yesterday. Yeah, And okay, so then overall ballpark factor

281
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: for this year, the A's stadium is the eighth most

282
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: hitter friendly. So remember that's all I was saying. It

283
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: was A's more homer friendly, raises not raise bottom. Yeah,

284
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: like bottom nine or ten in overall homer factor. And

285
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: then here's the only other thing we'll do. Let's do

286
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: righty's and lefties and we'll just do home run and

287
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: let's see if that changes anything. A's is the sixth

288
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: most hitter friendly ballpark for left handed hitters right now,

289
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 2: Rays is fifteen, so it's just at average and then

290
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: right handed hitters for the home run ballpark factor our

291
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: last one we have got a's is the fifth so gee,

292
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 2: I mean every element that a's is. Just check this out.

293
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: Rays is the bottom. It is the least hitter friendly.

294
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: But you also do have to remember that's going to

295
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 2: factor in home teams.

296
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: And there's gonna say I think that I would love

297
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: to see what the numbers are for the road teams

298
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: there in that ballpark for Tampa, because the Rays don't

299
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: have a great offense. Cameron Narrow is a good offensive player.

300
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: After then after that we can, you know, talk about it.

301
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: But they don't have a lot of home run.

302
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: Pop in that lot that I don't have.

303
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: You can tell you right that I think is that

304
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: is where the data I think becomes a little misleading

305
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: potentially if you start to look at how the opposing

306
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: hitters are. Just just take Tampa as a home team

307
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: out of there and see how this ballpark is played.

308
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see when the Yankees come to

309
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: town and in their spring training facility to play a

310
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: major league game. Let's talk about some people joining us today, Welsh,

311
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: any new followers, subscribers and people here on our Twitch, Twitch,

312
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: dot tv slash Fantas.

313
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: Approach is one dude, old itl listener jumping ship Cornell

314
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: subscribed with Prime in here, and then a bunch of

315
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: new follows intensify rut brand skill, bunch of people doing

316
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: that thing. We are like twelve away from seven hundred

317
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: on the followers, nineteen away from one hundred on the subs.

318
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: That's like an easy little monthly goal. But I want

319
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: to get to one thousand followers this month. On the twitch.

320
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: You start pressing that. It costs you absolutely nothing. The

321
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: Prime Twitch or any type of sub does. But you

322
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: can use your Prime account hook it up absolutely free

323
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: to you. If you've got an Amazon Prime account, you

324
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: get rid of to add you can do the home

325
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: run contest, or you can just pick up a sub yourself.

326
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: And if you want to be a real gangster, you

327
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: could gift subs out to the community. And there's a

328
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: little leader board I think that's shown on here that

329
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: we can give shout outs for. So that's all the

330
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: business business.

331
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: Michael says, Joe hates Angel so much he refuses to

332
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: watch Angels in the outfield. That's right, because Tony Danz

333
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: has a liability. That's right. I got nothing on my

334
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: faceball right now, I get what am I gonna do?

335
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: You love a lot? You know there was a discussion

336
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: in our Fantasy pros company. You know, I'm just lightly

337
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: gonna do it. But there's this discussion of like sports

338
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: movies and stuff. I can be honest with you, I

339
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: don't think they've never seen it all the way through.

340
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: There's not a ton of great like I don't. I'm

341
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: not in love with the baseball movies, I guess is

342
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Like Major League is great, Moneyball was

343
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: really good. I mean, sand Law is like a classic,

344
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: but like is it's not really rewatchable unless it's all

345
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: Even Men.

346
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: Out is a class. I've never seen it.

347
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: The scouts.

348
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: You've never seen eight men out? You really honestly, this

349
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: weekend you get a couple hours to yourself, or if

350
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: you're waiting for whatever dance competition your kids are in,

351
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: watch eight Men Out.

352
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: It is a I guess like I'm getting killed in this.

353
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: Everyone's like the natural field of dream. There are classes.

354
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: Natural is boring AF. Sorry, folks, it's always been boring AF.

355
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: It's still boring. AF. It's ridiculous. I'm just wel Durham.

356
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: I know what's controversial. Some people love it. Some people

357
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: hate it. I love It's it's you know whatever. Are

358
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: you selling high on Hunter Green? This is from JK here,

359
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: worried about his injury potential. No, I'm not selling on

360
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: him at all. I think this is finally the realization

361
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: of all the talent of Hunter Green. He looks fantastic. Welsh,

362
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Are you trying to get rid of any Hunter Green

363
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: chairs because I'm not. No.

364
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: I mean the reworked like he added the splitter last year,

365
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: that's been really solid. He's got it going again this year.

366
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: Fastball split slider combination is just still sick. His slider

367
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: and splitter are both getting more wits than they did

368
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: last year. Here's what I'd also say, I'm not a

369
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: big draft to guy and then be like, oh he's good.

370
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: See you get him out of here and move on. No, Like,

371
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: I think Connor Green is still this. That's the guy

372
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: we were talking about in the cy Young Award potential.

373
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 2: When we're looking at odds, I think, like a week

374
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 2: ago or whatever, But like, no, don't. I don't think

375
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 2: I'm looking to unless somebody is like willing to give

376
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: you one of those Godfather offers. They feel that he's

377
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: going to be a cy young winner, and you're gonna

378
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 2: get like two big pieces. I don't build in a

379
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 2: whole lot of like, well, this guy's injury, so end season,

380
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 2: I need to move off of him. I think Connor

381
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: Green is going to be pretty solid this year with

382
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 2: that three pitch mix. Ballpark's a little bit of a factor.

383
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: He's not going to be a one three e r

384
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: A guy, but you know, I think if he had

385
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: a high twos I wouldn't be shocked.

386
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, a league of their own. Also classic. I'm glad

387
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: somebody threw that out there. And of course Field of

388
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: Dreams and some people don't like it because it's sappy

389
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: or whatever. I love it too. It's fine Eight Men

390
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: Out for because I saw some people who don't know,

391
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, and they'll twitch, you know, some younger people.

392
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: So eight Men out. Great cast John CSX in that movie,

393
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: Charlie Sheen's it all some really good people.

394
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: All the actors at the npeople really know well John Cusack.

395
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: Well, Charge Cusack is a pretty famous movies.

396
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: Nobody knows John Cusack.

397
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: Well. I didn't say David Stray there, and I didn't

398
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: want to like really date myself there, but Anyway, it's

399
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: about the nineteen nineteen White Sox scandal and it is spectacular.

400
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: She was Joe Jackson, the whole deal about what happened there.

401
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: And what's so fun about it is there's a group

402
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: of there's a different groups of people that are trying

403
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: to pay off the players to throw the games, and

404
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: there's no communication between them, so it's all this weird

405
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: intertwined stuff where one group is pretending they're not involved

406
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: in it, but they are secretly, and another guy's doing

407
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: it for them, and other group thinks is they're involved

408
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: in it. And it's this incredible unraveling of this stuff

409
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: and the story is fascinating, the acting is terrific. It's

410
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: a great book too. Read the book. It's a phenomenal book,

411
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: so a been out. If you haven't seen it, go

412
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: see it. Also, this was fun. I saw this on

413
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: the internet today. Disturbing but also fun. Normally we have

414
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: a lot of creepy things when we do our AI

415
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: pictures here, but this wasn't AI. This is actually a

416
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: real pitcher. Look at this guy. Look at this?

417
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: Did you see this? Yeah? The video is actually a

418
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: lot more stressful because like he has this snap back

419
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: when he does release and I saw codif I do

420
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 2: that where they're like, this is not AI. It's a

421
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: complete torque. And then he goes in and it just

422
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: snaps back. It almost doesn't look real when he pitches.

423
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 2: It looks like a little glitch. I'm not sure that's

424
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 2: really great for long term health. But you know what,

425
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 2: let's still this out. He is taking some of the

426
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: stress off of the shoulder and the arms that he's

427
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: putting it all on his lower back.

428
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: He's putting it all on me. His name is Ethan

429
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: Getting and he's from Wayne State. So there you go

430
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: the fountains of Wayne. High five him up there, I mean,

431
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: I of all the stresses on me, because I this

432
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: is terrifying.

433
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: Are you high five him for me? Please? Your hand

434
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: is closer like he's right there for you.

435
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: Yes, I will, I think, figure out. Yeah, there you

436
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: go in this direction.

437
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: There you go, high five there as a forty year old.

438
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: That gives me a lot of stress. By the way,

439
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: like as the back, oh my god, it wouldn't get.

440
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: Up the three D ribcage. I mean, geez. Anyway, let's

441
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: get to down on the farm here. The White Sox

442
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: are going to promote top infield prospect Chase me Droth

443
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: from Triple A Charlotte. He is gone eight for thirty

444
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,640

445
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: stolen bases here too. Give us the prospect breakdown and

446
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: tell me why he sounds like a character from Lord

447
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: of the Rings, because he does.

448
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: I talked about him. I've talked about him, I think

449
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 2: last week. I don't know if it was on the show.

450
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: Talk about him again.

451
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,639

00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: more that are you know, like you got to be

458
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: paying attention to. Two of the five got called up yesterday.

00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 2: Chase me Droth was number five on the list. Zebbie

460
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: Matthews was number three. But Me Drot really good plate skills,

461
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,719
Speaker 2: like not a big strikeout guy, will walk a ton

462
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: of contact. He's a smaller dude. He was in the

463
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet trade the small piece of the Garrett Crochet trade.

464
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 2: He beat up Kyle Teele and I kind of thought

465
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: he was going to be a shortstop. And if you remember,

466
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: I had said on the show, as soon as Brooks

467
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: Baldwin had moved to the outfield, mean Droth was going

468
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: to come up. It looked like they were aligning themselves

469
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 2: where Baldwin could maybe move to the outfield. Mike Takman

470
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: got hurt, so he's going to be in. There's some

471
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: stolen based potential. I don't think there's high end offensive

472
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: potential like big counting stats five categories, but I do

473
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: think he's a kind of a Jacob Wilson with lower

474
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: average but more stolen based potential deeper deeper leagues. He's

475
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: worth taking a look at. He's not in a ten.

476
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: It's a bad offense. And if he's hitting eight or

477
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: nine for the White Sox that doesn't make anybody feel good.

478
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: But there is some pretty good plate skills and some

479
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: good back to ball that like he's going to do

480
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: some stuff. He's going to get some hits and we'll see,

481
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: if you know, if he goes plays in Tampa. He's

482
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: the type of guy that or George steinbernerfield. He's the

483
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: type of guy that can hit one over. So pay

484
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 2: attention to me to my draft. Actually I call him

485
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: nee droth. I think it's chasing my draft that he

486
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: might be a deep league either way.

487
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: It's Lord of the Rings sounding. Either way. He's definitely

488
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: like one of the hero him guys or something like.

489
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: It kind of looks like a nineteen twenties baseball player.

490
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 2: By the way, I just point that out.

491
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: Oh I do love those guys. Actually, you know I don't.

492
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: He's got to look he's got he's got like the

493
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: face of a player. You're like, you could put him

494
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: into like the nineteen twenties and he would fit in.

495
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: Oh, one hundred percent. He's definitely one of these guys

496
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: from eight men out like he's on the other he's

497
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: on the opposing team. Though, look at this chase my

498
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: draft fella. He seaw does like to play baseball, doesn't it.

499
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 2: Here's a lop in five foot six he's telling how

500
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 2: these other players.

501
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me tell you something. He actually went to

502
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: college too. He is a college boy. This fella. He's

503
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: playing in field for the Chicago White Stockings. All right,

504
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: let's get three up and three down. I could do

505
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: a whole show in that voice of the place.

506
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: It's one I can hold.

507
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: Timey baseball voice is the best. It's it'll get you

508
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: in trouble though, you know, if you do it long enough,

509
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: because the game was different back then, but some very

510
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: fun things, that's for sure, you know. I you know,

511
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: everyone talks about the stat casts and this versions and

512
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: all the different ways. But you know in the NFL,

513
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: now you got the Nickelodeon versions of the games. You

514
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: go watch the game with SpongeBob and all this stuff. No, no, no,

515
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: give me one black and white baseball game with somebody

516
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: doing that old timey baseball you know Hank's area. Remember

517
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: that character used to do on that show.

518
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, good, good example Hanka on that show. Yeah,

519
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: I remember that.

520
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: Guy from that show. Somebody help us in the chat,

521
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: I know what.

522
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: You're talking about where he's the announcer and he's.

523
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it's just what it's like his last name

524
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: is the name of the show. Anyway, that's what I want.

525
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't need SpongeBob. I need the old timey voice.

526
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. All right, let's get to the

527
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: three up at three down. Stephen Kuan had himself a

528
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: day four for five with a home or four ribbies,

529
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: a six to one win over the White Sox Marcelo Zuna.

530
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: It's been working on a swing and it paid off

531
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: a walk off two run homer. But was so sad

532
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: is our Schwellenbach and Lozardo where my Swallenbach and Lazard

533
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: o bets did not cash because of the stupid rain delay.

534
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: But both of them were on pace to shatter their strikeouts. So,

535
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, frustrating day for me. Breton Doyle Homer double

536
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: drove in five runs of Bretton Doyle. If you didn't believe, well,

537
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: that's too bad, was it? Brock My Brockmeyer, if that's

538
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: it just came into my head and I see Todd's

539
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: got it here, Brockmeyer. I never watched the Brockmeyer I think.

540
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 2: There were a couple of seasons. I definitely watched the

541
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: first season, maybe parts of the second one. Very very

542
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 2: good show. Frank Cazaria, very very solid.

543
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: Oh well, it looks like he's bulled a hamm. That's

544
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: gotta be tough. They never had intercostal strains back then.

545
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: No, there's a ribcage muscle this inning brought to your

546
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 2: bot sasparilla.

547
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: That sasparilla. You know, everyone's chewing tobacco. Everyone's smoking. That's

548
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: that's it, drinking in there in the in the.

549
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna get in trouble. Everything that's righting through

550
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: my head. There's just like there's too much.

551
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's just one game. That's all I want

552
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: one Saturday afternoon. All right, the downs Jonathan Cannon SI

553
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: runs five and a third. No, boy knows, Zach Littel,

554
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: how this guy's gonna get bound so hard from this

555
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: rotation soon? I mean, god, seven runs winning?

556
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 2: Does I watch? Ian Seymour, twenty six year old triple

557
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: A pitcher, had been unhittable in the minors. He might

558
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 2: be the guy.

559
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: Well, I guess because we still't have a time frame

560
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: on Shane McLanahan, right, yeah, no we don't.

561
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: I think it's still like a bit I that would

562
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 2: be the guy that they would go to. But yeah,

563
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess to your bigger point than like

564
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: when McClanahan comes back, I don't know, Littel's got it.

565
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: It's Lyttel's spot that goes away, whether it goes away

566
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: before McClanahan that's a different story. But if he keeps

567
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: fitsing like this, it's going to be Also. I want

568
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: to talk about this. Alec Bohm dropped to the seventh

569
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: spot in the Phillies lineup. He has not hit at all.

570
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: We've seen this happen before. Some slow starts, the crowd

571
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: gets on him. So he is hitting. Check out this

572
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: slash bucks seventy eight, one six two hundred, zero homers,

573
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: three ribies, ten strikeouts, one walk. I feel like I

574
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: could get up there into a better job than octilm

575
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: Right now. I'm just saying yeah, I mean, I'm looking

576
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: not defensively, but offensively. I think I could do it.

577
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: I will say this underlying stuff is pretty sport. He's

578
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: actually down to one sixty right now, but hard hits

579
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: better than ever. He's barreling better than ever. His expected

580
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 2: batting average is two seventy seven. So there might be, uh,

581
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: you know, there might be like, let me look at

582
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: his babbitt right now. Babbitt is two hundred. It's one

583
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,919
Speaker 2: hundred points lower. Like, you know, they're trying to get

584
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 2: him going, but Alec Bohm is not someone you get

585
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: super excited about. Kind of in general, they were trying

586
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: to trade him in the off season. But I do

587
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: think they're underlying stuff. Is telling us like there's a

588
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 2: bounce back period if he starts getting cut, but he's

589
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 2: still like low leveragy fantasy stuff RB Eyes, and that's

590
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: really what you're going for.

591
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: There were rumors about him being traded in the offseason.

592
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: Ye I'm always talking, right, So I mean, maybe, just

593
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: maybe this time, Alec Bohm doesn't get the bounce back.

594
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I would not be shocked. I think

595
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: the Phillies are in a very win now mode. You know,

596
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: you've got Bryce Harper in his prime, You've got this

597
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: incredible pitching staff so far, knock on wood, you've had

598
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: some good health. To me, this is when you if

599
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: Boem's not getting it done, you go out and you

600
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: make a deal for a third baseman like you just

601
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: fit figure it out. So watch this situation closely. I

602
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: think the leash for ball will be shorter than it

603
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: was in the past. That's another third base question from JD.

604
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: What do y'all think about Josh Young. He looks really

605
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: good for his first two games back. Maybe I should

606
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: drop Swarez for him.

607
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I would not I'm not dropping Swarez, but Swarez

608
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: is a little bit in that that bit that he

609
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: does on Young real quick. I mean, again, it's just

610
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 2: too I guess it's too small sample size. But guy,

611
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: he's not striking out. He's hitting the ball pretty well

612
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: in those first two. That offense just leads to a

613
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: whole bunch while those guys are underperforming. Swore is the

614
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: averages back down, which you hate to see. But again,

615
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: like huge barrel, huge hard hit, expected batting average, his

616
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: way up, dude hit his first five hits were all homers.

617
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks is one of the best offenses out there. I'm

618
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: gonna not drop Swars for him, but I understand why

619
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: I don't trust Josh Young. He hits lower in the lineup,

620
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: and he also is one of the most injured players

621
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 2: in baseball right now. So I'm not gonna drop who

622
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: is a little bit underperforming, but I think a lot

623
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: is telling us the bounce back in that offense is

624
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: just still great with the Diamondbacks.

625
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to this week's Chasing Challenges segment,

626
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: brought to you by Microsoft. Just like the athletes who

627
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: push boundaries and redefine what's possible. Business decision makers today

628
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: are turning challenges into opportunities and Microsoft beats you or

629
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: you are with tools and guidance to help you make

630
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: an impact with safe, secure AI solutions. So whatever the

631
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: challenges you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the expertise to

632
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: say bring it on. And in this segment, we spotlight

633
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: the challenges face by the Philadelphia Phillies with Alec Bohm.

634
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: Why because, as I said, you've got a returning Atlanta

635
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: Braves team with Spencer Streider and rond Akunya on the way.

636
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: They'll figure things out. They have an emerging Spencer Schwellenbach

637
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: in that rotation. The Mets just spent a billion dollars

638
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: almost on Juan Soto. You know they are going to

639
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: do everything it takes to win. So the Phillies are

640
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: in the thick of it right now, and Patients I

641
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: think is running thin with Alec Bohm. I know it's

642
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: a couple weeks into the season. I know we've been

643
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: here before. I've also seen the crowd turn on Alec

644
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: Boum before and eventually him get things going. But I

645
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: think this is a different scenario in twenty twenty five.

646
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: I do not think that the Philadelphia Phillies will be

647
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: as patient as they have been in the past. So

648
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: maybe it means kicking the tires on a veteran third

649
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: baseman who's got a contract expiring. Maybe it's going out

650
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: there finding a more long term solution. But whatever it is,

651
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: Alec Bohm needs to get a fire lit under him

652
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: quickly because you cannot fall behind too far in this

653
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: East with these teams, especially with a Washington Nationals team

654
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: that I think is going to be plucky all season long.

655
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: So the Phillies are in it. The Phillies are still

656
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: my pick to win this division, but Alec Bohm right

657
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: now is a liability. Dropping him in the order is

658
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: not a good sign, and now I think he might

659
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: be officially unnotice after trade rumors all off season. So

660
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: we'll see if the solution is Alec Boum patience or

661
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: if the solution is finding another person to replace Alec

662
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: Boum in that lineup. And that's this week's Chasing a

663
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: Challenges segment. Remember Microsoft AI solution empower you to take

664
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: bold steps and new ideas to help drive your business forward,

665
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: not backwards. Nobody wants to go backwards, and with Microsoft

666
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: as your trusted partner, you can navigate your journey with confidence,

667
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: finding innovative solutions and reaching new possibilities. To visit Microsoft

668
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: dot com Slash Challengers to learn more. Injuries not too many.

669
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez look good in his first minor league rehab,

670
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: outing in low a one hit, three scoreless innings, but

671
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: Spencer Streider struck out thirteen guys in five and a

672
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: third triple A. Well, shit, I think he's ready. I

673
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: think he's ready.

674
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 2: Well, he is ready. He should be back in the rotation.

675
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: I guess they didn't say, or I just didn't notice

676
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: what they were saying, But like this is going to

677
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 2: be the move where he's going to be back. I

678
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: would assume early next week we're going to get back

679
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: in the rotation. But struck out thirteen. He's been absolutely

680
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: ridiculous in those minor league starts. Looks healthy, ready to

681
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: go mid April, just like they said, ma enjoy the discount.

682
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: He was one of those guys. I moved up a

683
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: little bit later once we started getting those that news.

684
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 2: But he's he legitimately has a shot to be the

685
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: tippy top of fantasy rotations. And now you think about

686
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: Chris Sale, Strider and Schwellenbach. There is not a better

687
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 2: three in baseball with those three, right.

688
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: I wonder actually now too, because you know, April is

689
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: a distant memory by the time we start turning corners

690
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: into the summertime. What is the Spencer Strider number for

691
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: u Cy Young? That is interesting to me.

692
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 2: Oh you think so you eat off like three starts

693
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: and what it can be.

694
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just saying that's all it is. At the

695
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: end of the day.

696
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: It's just tough what means in that division, And like you, Sail,

697
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: he's just blawing up this year. I think that's a

698
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 2: tough one to do. But if you're.

699
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: William pitches on a much higher profile team Brave.

700
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they have Chris Sale and Schwellenbach who are

701
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: both higher odd CYM candidates than him.

702
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: Plus twenty two hundred plus twenty two one.

703
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: If you're the type of brain like Joey likes to

704
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: do this, I don't. But if you like to like

705
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,239
Speaker 2: bet a guy and then watch the market and then

706
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: try to buy out, and if you want to try

707
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: to do it a lout, you could do that on

708
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 2: FanDuel the time, which, by the way, you could deposit

709
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: with us. When you do FanDuel and five dollars I

710
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: think gets you two hundred. What's the code again, Oh.

711
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: It's fantasypros dot com slash leading off to do that that.

712
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: Five get two hundred. You could do that because they

713
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 2: probably do the best of any market of letting you

714
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: like progressively just buy out of it. So that would

715
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: be the place I would do that with the Strider otherwise,

716
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: but that's not my I don't do that type of betting.

717
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: But I get the logic of it. It's just tough.

718
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: It's it's not betting, it's investing, Okay, and then you sell.

719
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: That's what you do.

720
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 2: You're buying an option, buying an option on.

721
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: Strider exactly exactly. And this is insider trading here. I'm

722
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: helping everybody make money. I have made a fair amount

723
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: of money doing this the last couple of years in

724
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: the baseball markets. When you find these guys and you're like, okay,

725
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: can Spencer Schrider go and can Spencer Schrider get that

726
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: number from plus twenty two hundred to plus two fifty

727
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 1: And the answer is one thousand percent yes. And if

728
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: he does that, they're going to offer you buyouts they're

729
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: going to offer you sixty seventy percent of your investment,

730
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: so why not take it? Here's a great question. No

731
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: one Aeronautol to the Philadelphia Phillies. Yes, that is exactly

732
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: the guy, one hundred percent the guy. The Phillies will

733
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: eat enough of that contract if they need to. Is

734
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: he the perfect solution? No, but yes, that is exactly.

735
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: Gotta accept it though he h what are you gonna

736
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 2: do of wouldn't you?

737
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he a gept it?

738
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: He didn't. He rejected a trade in the off season,

739
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: like he has the rights to reject, so he kind

740
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: of opened Phillies. I don't know it was the I

741
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: think it was the Astros. He rejected the Astros trade,

742
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: which had plenty of stars there. So he's got to

743
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 2: be able to like accept it, and he seemed more

744
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: accepting to it towards the back half of spring training

745
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 2: or right towards the end, so I assume. But just

746
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 2: throwing that out there, like he has to accept it.

747
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's where they want to go.

748
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: But if Boom is such an albatross to their offense,

749
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: I suppose so, But they have to have a replacement

750
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 2: and then you're but then you're talking about like is

751
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: this gonna be a three way trade like Eronado goes

752
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: to Philly and Boam goes to somewhere like Seattle. That

753
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 2: would make some sense, and then you know those two

754
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: teams move something over.

755
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Saint Louis will just take a prospect. Yeah

756
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: that's how coast. Yeah, all right, it's time everyone for

757
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: our best bets of today with Joey p and the

758
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: Welsh so well shouldn't feel good about his bets yesterday,

759
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: but he should have because everything he touch turned to gold.

760
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: I feel like yesterday. And of course, if you need

761

769
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: going with Team Totals today. How about in Tampa? Yeah,

770
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: against TODs, Bradley Atlanta Braves. I saw Matt Olsen take

771
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: like a twelve pitch app at yesterday. Ozuna is getting hot.

772
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: I think Riley's going to turn around. Yeah, let me

773
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: tell you something. The Braves are starting to get hot.

774
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: And now I'm going to test my theory, which is

775
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: these teams that come into Tampa are gonna rake. And

776
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the Braves. Four and a half

777
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: team total. Let's take the over plus money. Same thing

778
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox. I'm gonna take this one against

779
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: the White Sox in Chicago. Four and a half is

780
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 1: the team totally getting basically even money on that minus

781
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: one oh two and then Aaron Judge over point five ribbis.

782
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 1: Just one ribby, that's all he needs at home plus

783
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: one forty. That is an easy day at the office,

784
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: I think, and I think a way to get back

785
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: in the groove. Welsh, what do you have for the

786
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: people on a fun Friday?

787
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 2: I like it? Yeah, yeah, I like seeing some team

788
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 2: totals out of you. That's fun. I'm going with I

789
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: got another run line play. We had a run line

790
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 2: play yesterday. We're going with San Diego Santiago, Spanish four,

791
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: covering by two runs. They're gonna cover two runs over Colorado.

792
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: It's in San Diego Hermion Marquez, but Nick Pavetta is

793
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: on there getting plus money minus one and a half

794
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,439
Speaker 2: plus one oh five San Diego run line. I'm gonna

795
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 2: go with Texas money line. It's minus one twenty five.

796
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 2: Jacob de Gram is pitching. It's Bryce Miller, Jacob de Grom.

797
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: It's a good outing. Murphy's kind of interesting, but it's

798
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 2: like minus one sixty, So minus one twenty five Texas

799
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: money line backing Jacob de Gram, and then I am

800
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 2: going to take the Detroit Tiger's first five team total

801
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 2: runs take a breath over one point five, so I

802
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 2: am betting that Detroit is going to score two runs

803
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 2: in the first five innings going up against David Festa.

804
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 2: David Festa had a little bit of a rough start,

805
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 2: and the Miners already Tiger's fun fact in the first five,

806
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 2: I believe are the third highest scoring team through the

807
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 2: first five innings, so minus one forty. It's a bit

808
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 2: juiced up, but Tiger's to score two through the first

809
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 2: five Texas money line and the San Diego run line

810
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 2: plus one oh five here you go.

811
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: Those are the best bets of the day, which brings

812
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: us to the home run board, where I think Welsh

813
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be higher than he was yesterday.

814
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 2: It's just advance.

815
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people at angels, but let's

816
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: take a look here and what do we have. Well,

817
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: we have a Sammy Sosa jersey to give away number one,

818
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: and we have the Welsh all the way up to

819
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: the sixth spot. Look at that Welsh far out goes

820
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 1: to ten, George h eighty four goes to ten. Razor

821
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: ramone drops to third. There the Welsh at sixth. Welsh,

822
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: what a time to be alive, right, I mean, they've gotta.

823
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 2: Be loving Fine's the highest I've ever been on this board,

824
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: especially like after like the first week. But Mike Trout

825
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 2: gets me two on the board. That's a fun thing

826
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: about the contest. By the way, if you don't know

827
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 2: if your pick hits two or three homers, you also

828
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: get two or three homers. So right behind Wonky. Though

829
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: Wonkey is the scariest of all of them. Wonkee's always

830
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 2: high up on this list. She absolutely destroys the home

831
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: run contest. You guys can still take part in at

832
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,279

849
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 2: is in San Diego, but Manny has been on that

850
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: power push. We get Tatis back. It looks like today,

851
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Manny Machado just for today.

852
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 2: I will be in putting my bets this weekend, maybe

853
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: even doing a little Aaron Judge of the weekend because

854
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 2: we got a three day slate. I know you are

855
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,400

860
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna find myself on the board, but hopefully a couple

861
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,880
