Speaker 1: Welcome and everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is leading
Speaker 1: off live. It is me Joey P, joe P Zapia,
Speaker 1: and of course that's my friend the Welsh, and it's
Speaker 1: all of you, the Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks hanging
Speaker 1: out here talking baseball. We got a fun Friday program.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to some more of your questions today
Speaker 1: because Thursday not a lot of games, but Welsh certainly
Speaker 1: a lot of home runs, especially if you are the Angels.
Speaker 1: My goodness, I had a lot of fomo because I
Speaker 1: told you yesterday my second choice was Mike Trout. He
Speaker 1: was your choice to hit home runs. And that guy
Speaker 1: hit home runs yesterday.
Speaker 2: Sometimes your first and sometimes your last. Joe and you
Speaker 2: were last. I was first. We did get two homers
Speaker 2: with Mike Trout to push up on the board, and
Speaker 2: the only thing that could have made that entire game
Speaker 2: better would have been another two shots from Kyrone Paris.
Speaker 2: As the Kyne Paris story continues to move on, it
Speaker 2: was a very very good short slate day. Foreign two
Speaker 2: homers on the board. I'm ready to roll.
Speaker 1: A baby, yes, well at two homers for Joe Adell,
Speaker 1: for Taylor Ward for Mike Trout. So I think the
Speaker 1: bigger story here Kirian powers in a bunch of home
Speaker 1: runs too. I think the bigger story is this ballpark.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about the ballpark a little bit here?
Speaker 1: This little tiny, rinky dink fake Yankee stadium down in
Speaker 1: Florida that they're playing in now, And I'm gonna try
Speaker 1: to take advantage of it this weekend in some bedding.
Speaker 1: But I think everybody needs to stand up and notice
Speaker 1: here that when there's a bad picture on the mound
Speaker 1: or maybe even two, the balls jumping out of that place.
Speaker 1: And we haven't even gotten to the summer yet, so
Speaker 1: let's just call it what it is. The Angels are
Speaker 1: having a good run, that's great, but that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of home runs. And if you watch these home
Speaker 1: runs too, some of them are barely getting over this wall.
Speaker 1: This is not exactly major league kind of stuff. It's
Speaker 1: becoming Southern Yankee Stadium, which is exactly what it was
Speaker 1: when the Yankees designed.
Speaker 2: You're very much irked by these wall scraping homers. It's
Speaker 2: like three street days where you've brought now you've brought
Speaker 2: up these like.
Speaker 1: Because they're all happening in the same place. They're all
Speaker 1: happening in the same place. That's what I'm saying. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying for it's great. I'm very happy for you.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for my trout. I'm happy for Kira in Paris.
Speaker 1: He seems like a heck of a young man. I
Speaker 1: like him. I'm rooting for him. But this is business.
Speaker 1: This is business, okay, and I'm trying to make sure
Speaker 1: that we're going out good advice here as best we can. Now,
Speaker 1: we also had history made yesterday. The first official Sinko
Speaker 1: Stinko goes to Nick Castillano. So I feel great about this.
Speaker 1: This is going to be a trivia question.
Speaker 2: Call your family generations from now there you go.
Speaker 1: So, what did you think about it? Would Nick Cassiano
Speaker 1: is the guy that you thought might be the first
Speaker 1: sinkos didn't go? I didn't. I didn't think you'd be.
Speaker 2: I got be honest with you. I hadn't sat up
Speaker 2: and thought, you know, who will be the first official
Speaker 2: thinker Stinko. I thought I kind of was like, in
Speaker 2: my brain it was Altuve having that or actually it
Speaker 2: was Cheerio having that Oz for five with five strikeouts,
Speaker 2: but I am glad because I got a rush of
Speaker 2: tweets when it happened, of like a bunch of different people,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, okay, everybody is into this.
Speaker 2: So Nick Castianos, He's made us proud. He's in the
Speaker 2: record books for the most insane home run call of
Speaker 2: all time. He is now connected to natural disasters and
Speaker 2: connected to the first ever Sinko Stinko.
Speaker 1: That is kind of funny. Like Nick Casias, weird things
Speaker 1: do follow him in his baseball career. This ye is
Speaker 1: one of many. Now, I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 1: We could do though pretty.
Speaker 2: Good in the futures. We could do a Sinco Stinko board.
Speaker 2: We could try to track in bed who do we
Speaker 2: think is gonna happen. What would be best is if
Speaker 2: we it was like right at the start of the
Speaker 2: season and we just said from here on out, who
Speaker 2: is the Sinco Stinko leader for the season. Everybody gets
Speaker 2: one name and then you go.
Speaker 1: That would be well, congratulations Nick Cassianas good on you,
Speaker 1: my friend. Let's get to more things that Welsh is
Speaker 1: very happy about. Spencer Schwellenbach another great star for him.
Speaker 1: His era is now point four to five. His whip
Speaker 1: is point sixty five. He has nineteen strikeouts and three
Speaker 1: walks in twenty innings. Welsh, I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: this is just your data globe tier. I feel like
Speaker 1: this is all Welsh all the time.
Speaker 2: Well, how that usually works is I will be put
Speaker 2: back in my place today. It is always yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: don't I don't hold on too long. Like it was
Speaker 2: a good day. Betting was good, homers were good, Schwellenbach
Speaker 2: was great. I mean that the last bet we threw
Speaker 2: in was the under three and a half runs in
Speaker 2: that game, and that one smacked. But yeah, we'll be
Speaker 2: putting our place pretty quick, so trying to be careful.
Speaker 2: But it was a great pitching matchup. If you ended
Speaker 2: up watching a Lozardo was like a little a little
Speaker 2: bit wilder, where Schwellenbach was just it's just as almost unhittable.
Speaker 2: His slider was absolutely ridiculous, and that one had eighteen
Speaker 2: swings on it. It got a couple called strike, it
Speaker 2: had some whiffs. There wasn't big whiffs in this. But
Speaker 2: I had mentioned I didn't love the strikeout props in
Speaker 2: this because Philly had actually done pretty well against Righty's
Speaker 2: and Atlanta had actually done pretty well against lefties, so
Speaker 2: it wasn't like this big strikeout matchup, but forcing fastball
Speaker 2: forty one percent CSW, he was hitting his points. They
Speaker 2: both gave up a lot of hits in general, but man,
Speaker 2: just watch Spencer Schwellenbach and you just know he has control.
Speaker 2: And that's something that's some elite pitchers if you've watched
Speaker 2: throughout the season, like the elite elite guys, when you
Speaker 2: just know at any moment they have got control of
Speaker 2: the bat, even if they gave up a hit, or
Speaker 2: give up two hits, or they walk somebody, and you
Speaker 2: know they can get back. That's that sign of the
Speaker 2: elite elite pitchers. And there's not a lot of guys
Speaker 2: that are holding that right now. You feel like Skeens
Speaker 2: has it, Scooble has it, to Graham has it. But
Speaker 2: even some of the really good ones Garrett Crochet does
Speaker 2: not have that this year. Schwellenbach does. He is in
Speaker 2: control at all times and he is going to vastly,
Speaker 2: vastly have a big fantasy return on your drafting. I
Speaker 2: don't think there's anything else to do about it, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it's another it's a third straight great outing from schwelly Well.
Speaker 1: His stock for Cy Young has moved up considerably after yesterday.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw it. You want to
Speaker 1: take a guess of what the Spencer Schwellenbach say Young
Speaker 1: number one right now?
Speaker 2: I think it was last time you told me it
Speaker 2: was like eleven to one or no, it's nine to one.
Speaker 2: I said it. Actually we were talking about somebody else.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say it's probably like.
Speaker 1: Six to one right now, seven seven hundred.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Steine's got hit a little bit interesting, I
Speaker 2: could see that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Hazus Zarda, as you mentioned in that same game,
Speaker 1: one run, six hit, six innings, Hiss at one point
Speaker 1: five zeros, WHI was at one twenty five strikeouts, five
Speaker 1: k's and eighteen innings. He's been great, also has been good.
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller looks sharp despite the fact that the Red
Speaker 1: Sox can't catch anything. They moved Devers off third base
Speaker 1: and the defense continues to fall apart for this team.
Speaker 1: But fourteen error they're up to now it's absurd. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Walker Buehller, no decision, strikeouts, seven and six and a
Speaker 1: third innings. Boy, if only he was a free agent,
Speaker 1: and maybe I don't know. Maybe the Orioles could have
Speaker 1: maybe taken a shot on a guy like Walker Bueller,
Speaker 1: Maybe just maybe Gavin Williams. We talked about him in
Speaker 1: the buy video earlier this week, and go back and
Speaker 1: watch that if you're still looking to make some deals.
Speaker 1: This weekend, we said, hey, this start against the White
Speaker 1: Sox is crucial. He has a good start, that window's
Speaker 1: going to close. Try to acquire him beforehand. And we
Speaker 1: were right. Seven strikeouts in five innings, one run ball
Speaker 1: over the White Sox. So Gavin Williams hopefully getting back
Speaker 1: on track. Speaking of getting on track, Ronald Acunya is
Speaker 1: set to meet with a team of doctors early next
Speaker 1: week and the expectation is that he is gonna be
Speaker 1: cleared for lateral movement, moving like this back and forth,
Speaker 1: so that means the outfield. That means pretty soon we're
Speaker 1: gonna get Ronald Acunya. Now, let's play the game. If
Speaker 1: he starts getting cleared next week and by next weekend
Speaker 1: is playing in the outfield, how many days give me
Speaker 1: the date in May that we get Ronald Acunya. I'll
Speaker 1: say I'll set the over under May eighth, Friday, May eighth,
Speaker 1: it's a Friday, it's spring, it's warm, Friday, May eighth.
Speaker 2: Overall, Sorry, you just ended so abruptly. Oh Joey froze.
Speaker 2: Though I think it was a Joey freeze. We almost
Speaker 2: got the puppet that ended so abruptly. I did I would.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, was that you said Friday, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go to Friday the eighth, nine ten, I'm gonna say eleventh.
Speaker 2: But on a Monday. I'm gonna say we start fresh
Speaker 2: with the Monday. I could give you a better one
Speaker 2: if I was looking at the schedule. So I kind
Speaker 2: of think it might be like a home series that
Speaker 2: they do. But let's go with you sitting nine uh nine,
Speaker 2: I mean I'm gonna go eleventh.
Speaker 1: Okay, the eleventh it is for Welsh. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the I'm gonna take the eighth. There. Well, I was
Speaker 1: letna say over under on the eighth, So I'm gonna say,
Speaker 1: m I guess I'll go over there too, because I
Speaker 1: do think it'll be on that weekend, so right around there.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's a push. Maybe the eighth is exactly the date.
Speaker 1: Now we have to get ourselves prepared for disappointments. And
Speaker 1: we were trying to get everybody prepared for that because
Speaker 1: all those Zibbie Matthews was the guy that we were
Speaker 1: hoping we were gonna get. We did say on the
Speaker 1: show yesterday, and I think the day before too, that
Speaker 1: it might be David Festa because he's had more experience
Speaker 1: in the major leagues, and it will be David Festa
Speaker 1: at least for now. So Pablo Lopez goes to the
Speaker 1: IL with the hamstring, so Festa gets the call up. Now,
Speaker 1: Festa was pretty good after those first couple of Rocky
Speaker 1: starts last year, he did not have a good spring.
Speaker 1: So is Festa a streamer for you potentially while he
Speaker 1: fills in for mister Lopez.
Speaker 2: Okay, so the first answer because a couple things. Her
Speaker 2: first answer is maybe long term. I'm not starting him today.
Speaker 2: Somebody had tweeted like me and like Frank Stamfle and
Speaker 2: stuff you could. I don't particularly want to start him.
Speaker 2: Five Vra and his two starts in the minors so
Speaker 2: far this year year really high whip. I'm actually kind
Speaker 2: of going against him as more of a longer term
Speaker 2: at I might be interested, but I did the same
Speaker 2: thing because our fantasy pros account tweeted out like hey,
Speaker 2: David Festa, and I'm like, that's not how you spell
Speaker 2: Zebbie Matthews, and then people had fun with it. But
Speaker 2: here's the real piece to it. Though Paba Lopez his
Speaker 2: start was for Monday. This does not line up with Monday,
Speaker 2: so Zebby is likely to be called up, and it's
Speaker 2: been talked about four Monday, so we might see Zebbi
Speaker 2: for a two start next week, or they're talking about
Speaker 2: a six man rotation with days off, and I don't know.
Speaker 2: I would assume Zebi lined up with Pablo doesn't fit
Speaker 2: the six man role, or maybe David Festa does more,
Speaker 2: So we're gonna have to see the results. I'm not
Speaker 2: starting Festa. I might start Zebe on Monday and he's
Speaker 2: better lying to potentially have like a two start, but
Speaker 2: that's the current landscape for them. Is Festa and Zebi
Speaker 2: theoretically are both gonna be up. I line with Zebe
Speaker 2: a tiny bit, but both should be a little a
Speaker 2: little weary with both of those guys.
Speaker 1: Before we get to more disappointments, let's talk about your questions.
Speaker 1: Matt on the mound, I have two util spots. Who
Speaker 1: should I start today? Ben Rice Kira in Paris and Volpi.
Speaker 1: I think it's Rice in Paris, don't you thank you?
Speaker 1: You got to play the hot hands here?
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think so. I mean because you did
Speaker 2: say today, you didn't say, like, no, should I cut?
Speaker 1: Well? Volpy's back home, so this is where Volpi.
Speaker 2: Is, you know, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: That's also viable. But ben Rice is more viable. And
Speaker 1: I'll think it gets at Paris right now. With the
Speaker 1: way he's played. You gotta keep riding the wave. That's
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Here's one from Cookie Berger was
Speaker 1: dropped in my head. Head category league is he must
Speaker 1: grab and stash or bench right? If so, how much fab? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll see one hundred dollars fab right now? I would
Speaker 1: drop what twelve on him? Thirteen? I think you gotta
Speaker 1: bid that to get him because somebody's gonna be aggressive.
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I fifteen was like where I would go Max.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit volatile. But you guys know, I'm
Speaker 2: in on Jake Berger right now, crazy low babbitt. I
Speaker 2: think he's going to bounce back, So yes, i'd pick
Speaker 2: him up. I would try not to like make him
Speaker 2: a fab bust or anything like that. But yeah, somewhere
Speaker 2: from ten to fifteen percent. Just see or like regroup
Speaker 2: with how your league usually is with guys like that.
Speaker 2: Maybe no one's going to be hyper aggressive, but that's
Speaker 2: a good number.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the data, but I do want to
Speaker 1: see this Tampa ballpark worse than Sacramento. I don't know.
Speaker 1: We got to find out the data of how many
Speaker 1: home runs have been hitting both of those ballparks, and
Speaker 1: you know Zach lytell certainly, he'll tell you, right. I
Speaker 1: think it's no doubt about that. Let's see one you
Speaker 1: can find that data. I'm going to get to more
Speaker 1: disappointments because the White Sox selected the contract of Omar
Speaker 1: Nevaias from Triple A because Cory Lee, the catcher, went
Speaker 1: on the IL. We were hoping we'd get Kyle Teel,
Speaker 1: but we didn't get him either. So there you go.
Speaker 1: So Faiss is still the everyday catcher. Just hold your
Speaker 1: horses for now on All of.
Speaker 2: That is okay, So I've got some data for you.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So is the A's stadium called Sutter Health Park? Is
Speaker 2: that what their new minor league? So?
Speaker 1: Sutter Health Park? Yes, Sacramento, Yes, cool.
Speaker 2: So what do you want. You want overall ballpark factor.
Speaker 2: You want home run facts.
Speaker 1: Home runs hitten in that ballpark and home runs hitten
Speaker 1: in the any bitty Tampa ballpark.
Speaker 2: So based on the home run factor, A's is quite
Speaker 2: a bit more of a home run ballpark. They currently
Speaker 2: ranked the ninth in home run ballpark factor just this
Speaker 2: year against both righty's and lefties and the A's The
Speaker 2: Rays is actually George M. Steinbrenner Field is actually bottom
Speaker 2: ten in the league in homer so it's not a
Speaker 2: big yesterday. Yeah, And okay, so then overall ballpark factor
Speaker 2: for this year, the A's stadium is the eighth most
Speaker 2: hitter friendly. So remember that's all I was saying. It
Speaker 2: was A's more homer friendly, raises not raise bottom. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like bottom nine or ten in overall homer factor. And
Speaker 2: then here's the only other thing we'll do. Let's do
Speaker 2: righty's and lefties and we'll just do home run and
Speaker 2: let's see if that changes anything. A's is the sixth
Speaker 2: most hitter friendly ballpark for left handed hitters right now,
Speaker 2: Rays is fifteen, so it's just at average and then
Speaker 2: right handed hitters for the home run ballpark factor our
Speaker 2: last one we have got a's is the fifth so gee,
Speaker 2: I mean every element that a's is. Just check this out.
Speaker 2: Rays is the bottom. It is the least hitter friendly.
Speaker 2: But you also do have to remember that's going to
Speaker 2: factor in home teams.
Speaker 1: And there's gonna say I think that I would love
Speaker 1: to see what the numbers are for the road teams
Speaker 1: there in that ballpark for Tampa, because the Rays don't
Speaker 1: have a great offense. Cameron Narrow is a good offensive player.
Speaker 1: After then after that we can, you know, talk about it.
Speaker 1: But they don't have a lot of home run.
Speaker 2: Pop in that lot that I don't have.
Speaker 1: You can tell you right that I think is that
Speaker 1: is where the data I think becomes a little misleading
Speaker 1: potentially if you start to look at how the opposing
Speaker 1: hitters are. Just just take Tampa as a home team
Speaker 1: out of there and see how this ballpark is played.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see when the Yankees come to
Speaker 1: town and in their spring training facility to play a
Speaker 1: major league game. Let's talk about some people joining us today, Welsh,
Speaker 1: any new followers, subscribers and people here on our Twitch, Twitch,
Speaker 1: dot tv slash Fantas.
Speaker 2: Approach is one dude, old itl listener jumping ship Cornell
Speaker 2: subscribed with Prime in here, and then a bunch of
Speaker 2: new follows intensify rut brand skill, bunch of people doing
Speaker 2: that thing. We are like twelve away from seven hundred
Speaker 2: on the followers, nineteen away from one hundred on the subs.
Speaker 2: That's like an easy little monthly goal. But I want
Speaker 2: to get to one thousand followers this month. On the twitch.
Speaker 2: You start pressing that. It costs you absolutely nothing. The
Speaker 2: Prime Twitch or any type of sub does. But you
Speaker 2: can use your Prime account hook it up absolutely free
Speaker 2: to you. If you've got an Amazon Prime account, you
Speaker 2: get rid of to add you can do the home
Speaker 2: run contest, or you can just pick up a sub yourself.
Speaker 2: And if you want to be a real gangster, you
Speaker 2: could gift subs out to the community. And there's a
Speaker 2: little leader board I think that's shown on here that
Speaker 2: we can give shout outs for. So that's all the
Speaker 2: business business.
Speaker 1: Michael says, Joe hates Angel so much he refuses to
Speaker 1: watch Angels in the outfield. That's right, because Tony Danz
Speaker 1: has a liability. That's right. I got nothing on my
Speaker 1: faceball right now, I get what am I gonna do?
Speaker 2: You love a lot? You know there was a discussion
Speaker 2: in our Fantasy pros company. You know, I'm just lightly
Speaker 2: gonna do it. But there's this discussion of like sports
Speaker 2: movies and stuff. I can be honest with you, I
Speaker 2: don't think they've never seen it all the way through.
Speaker 2: There's not a ton of great like I don't. I'm
Speaker 2: not in love with the baseball movies, I guess is
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Like Major League is great, Moneyball was
Speaker 2: really good. I mean, sand Law is like a classic,
Speaker 2: but like is it's not really rewatchable unless it's all
Speaker 2: Even Men.
Speaker 1: Out is a class. I've never seen it.
Speaker 2: The scouts.
Speaker 1: You've never seen eight men out? You really honestly, this
Speaker 1: weekend you get a couple hours to yourself, or if
Speaker 1: you're waiting for whatever dance competition your kids are in,
Speaker 1: watch eight Men Out.
Speaker 2: It is a I guess like I'm getting killed in this.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like the natural field of dream. There are classes.
Speaker 1: Natural is boring AF. Sorry, folks, it's always been boring AF.
Speaker 1: It's still boring. AF. It's ridiculous. I'm just wel Durham.
Speaker 1: I know what's controversial. Some people love it. Some people
Speaker 1: hate it. I love It's it's you know whatever. Are
Speaker 1: you selling high on Hunter Green? This is from JK here,
Speaker 1: worried about his injury potential. No, I'm not selling on
Speaker 1: him at all. I think this is finally the realization
Speaker 1: of all the talent of Hunter Green. He looks fantastic. Welsh,
Speaker 1: Are you trying to get rid of any Hunter Green
Speaker 1: chairs because I'm not. No.
Speaker 2: I mean the reworked like he added the splitter last year,
Speaker 2: that's been really solid. He's got it going again this year.
Speaker 2: Fastball split slider combination is just still sick. His slider
Speaker 2: and splitter are both getting more wits than they did
Speaker 2: last year. Here's what I'd also say, I'm not a
Speaker 2: big draft to guy and then be like, oh he's good.
Speaker 2: See you get him out of here and move on. No, Like,
Speaker 2: I think Connor Green is still this. That's the guy
Speaker 2: we were talking about in the cy Young Award potential.
Speaker 2: When we're looking at odds, I think, like a week
Speaker 2: ago or whatever, But like, no, don't. I don't think
Speaker 2: I'm looking to unless somebody is like willing to give
Speaker 2: you one of those Godfather offers. They feel that he's
Speaker 2: going to be a cy young winner, and you're gonna
Speaker 2: get like two big pieces. I don't build in a
Speaker 2: whole lot of like, well, this guy's injury, so end season,
Speaker 2: I need to move off of him. I think Connor
Speaker 2: Green is going to be pretty solid this year with
Speaker 2: that three pitch mix. Ballpark's a little bit of a factor.
Speaker 2: He's not going to be a one three e r
Speaker 2: A guy, but you know, I think if he had
Speaker 2: a high twos I wouldn't be shocked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a league of their own. Also classic. I'm glad
Speaker 1: somebody threw that out there. And of course Field of
Speaker 1: Dreams and some people don't like it because it's sappy
Speaker 1: or whatever. I love it too. It's fine Eight Men
Speaker 1: Out for because I saw some people who don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, and they'll twitch, you know, some younger people.
Speaker 1: So eight Men out. Great cast John CSX in that movie,
Speaker 1: Charlie Sheen's it all some really good people.
Speaker 2: All the actors at the npeople really know well John Cusack.
Speaker 1: Well, Charge Cusack is a pretty famous movies.
Speaker 2: Nobody knows John Cusack.
Speaker 1: Well. I didn't say David Stray there, and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to like really date myself there, but Anyway, it's
Speaker 1: about the nineteen nineteen White Sox scandal and it is spectacular.
Speaker 1: She was Joe Jackson, the whole deal about what happened there.
Speaker 1: And what's so fun about it is there's a group
Speaker 1: of there's a different groups of people that are trying
Speaker 1: to pay off the players to throw the games, and
Speaker 1: there's no communication between them, so it's all this weird
Speaker 1: intertwined stuff where one group is pretending they're not involved
Speaker 1: in it, but they are secretly, and another guy's doing
Speaker 1: it for them, and other group thinks is they're involved
Speaker 1: in it. And it's this incredible unraveling of this stuff
Speaker 1: and the story is fascinating, the acting is terrific. It's
Speaker 1: a great book too. Read the book. It's a phenomenal book,
Speaker 1: so a been out. If you haven't seen it, go
Speaker 1: see it. Also, this was fun. I saw this on
Speaker 1: the internet today. Disturbing but also fun. Normally we have
Speaker 1: a lot of creepy things when we do our AI
Speaker 1: pictures here, but this wasn't AI. This is actually a
Speaker 1: real pitcher. Look at this guy. Look at this?
Speaker 2: Did you see this? Yeah? The video is actually a
Speaker 2: lot more stressful because like he has this snap back
Speaker 2: when he does release and I saw codif I do
Speaker 2: that where they're like, this is not AI. It's a
Speaker 2: complete torque. And then he goes in and it just
Speaker 2: snaps back. It almost doesn't look real when he pitches.
Speaker 2: It looks like a little glitch. I'm not sure that's
Speaker 2: really great for long term health. But you know what,
Speaker 2: let's still this out. He is taking some of the
Speaker 2: stress off of the shoulder and the arms that he's
Speaker 2: putting it all on his lower back.
Speaker 1: He's putting it all on me. His name is Ethan
Speaker 1: Getting and he's from Wayne State. So there you go
Speaker 1: the fountains of Wayne. High five him up there, I mean,
Speaker 1: I of all the stresses on me, because I this
Speaker 1: is terrifying.
Speaker 2: Are you high five him for me? Please? Your hand
Speaker 2: is closer like he's right there for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, I will, I think, figure out. Yeah, there you
Speaker 1: go in this direction.
Speaker 2: There you go, high five there as a forty year old.
Speaker 2: That gives me a lot of stress. By the way,
Speaker 2: like as the back, oh my god, it wouldn't get.
Speaker 1: Up the three D ribcage. I mean, geez. Anyway, let's
Speaker 1: get to down on the farm here. The White Sox
Speaker 1: are going to promote top infield prospect Chase me Droth
Speaker 1: from Triple A Charlotte. He is gone eight for thirty
Speaker 1: three homers four. Ribby's so Welsh. He's got a couple
Speaker 1: stolen bases here too. Give us the prospect breakdown and
Speaker 1: tell me why he sounds like a character from Lord
Speaker 1: of the Rings, because he does.
Speaker 2: I talked about him. I've talked about him, I think
Speaker 2: last week. I don't know if it was on the show.
Speaker 1: Talk about him again.
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about him again. Plus, there is
Speaker 2: an article if you guys want funny enough. Me and
Speaker 2: Mayer were joking about this, but I wrote this article
Speaker 2: two days ago in his prospects to Stash and it
Speaker 2: released today. My top five are the guys that I
Speaker 2: think are the closest, and then I give you five
Speaker 2: more that are you know, like you got to be
Speaker 2: paying attention to. Two of the five got called up yesterday.
Speaker 2: Chase me Droth was number five on the list. Zebbie
Speaker 2: Matthews was number three. But Me Drot really good plate skills,
Speaker 2: like not a big strikeout guy, will walk a ton
Speaker 2: of contact. He's a smaller dude. He was in the
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet trade the small piece of the Garrett Crochet trade.
Speaker 2: He beat up Kyle Teele and I kind of thought
Speaker 2: he was going to be a shortstop. And if you remember,
Speaker 2: I had said on the show, as soon as Brooks
Speaker 2: Baldwin had moved to the outfield, mean Droth was going
Speaker 2: to come up. It looked like they were aligning themselves
Speaker 2: where Baldwin could maybe move to the outfield. Mike Takman
Speaker 2: got hurt, so he's going to be in. There's some
Speaker 2: stolen based potential. I don't think there's high end offensive
Speaker 2: potential like big counting stats five categories, but I do
Speaker 2: think he's a kind of a Jacob Wilson with lower
Speaker 2: average but more stolen based potential deeper deeper leagues. He's
Speaker 2: worth taking a look at. He's not in a ten.
Speaker 2: It's a bad offense. And if he's hitting eight or
Speaker 2: nine for the White Sox that doesn't make anybody feel good.
Speaker 2: But there is some pretty good plate skills and some
Speaker 2: good back to ball that like he's going to do
Speaker 2: some stuff. He's going to get some hits and we'll see,
Speaker 2: if you know, if he goes plays in Tampa. He's
Speaker 2: the type of guy that or George steinbernerfield. He's the
Speaker 2: type of guy that can hit one over. So pay
Speaker 2: attention to me to my draft. Actually I call him
Speaker 2: nee droth. I think it's chasing my draft that he
Speaker 2: might be a deep league either way.
Speaker 1: It's Lord of the Rings sounding. Either way. He's definitely
Speaker 1: like one of the hero him guys or something like.
Speaker 2: It kind of looks like a nineteen twenties baseball player.
Speaker 2: By the way, I just point that out.
Speaker 1: Oh I do love those guys. Actually, you know I don't.
Speaker 2: He's got to look he's got he's got like the
Speaker 2: face of a player. You're like, you could put him
Speaker 2: into like the nineteen twenties and he would fit in.
Speaker 1: Oh, one hundred percent. He's definitely one of these guys
Speaker 1: from eight men out like he's on the other he's
Speaker 1: on the opposing team. Though, look at this chase my
Speaker 1: draft fella. He seaw does like to play baseball, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: Here's a lop in five foot six he's telling how
Speaker 2: these other players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me tell you something. He actually went to
Speaker 1: college too. He is a college boy. This fella. He's
Speaker 1: playing in field for the Chicago White Stockings. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get three up and three down. I could do
Speaker 1: a whole show in that voice of the place.
Speaker 2: It's one I can hold.
Speaker 1: Timey baseball voice is the best. It's it'll get you
Speaker 1: in trouble though, you know, if you do it long enough,
Speaker 1: because the game was different back then, but some very
Speaker 1: fun things, that's for sure, you know. I you know,
Speaker 1: everyone talks about the stat casts and this versions and
Speaker 1: all the different ways. But you know in the NFL,
Speaker 1: now you got the Nickelodeon versions of the games. You
Speaker 1: go watch the game with SpongeBob and all this stuff. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: give me one black and white baseball game with somebody
Speaker 1: doing that old timey baseball you know Hank's area. Remember
Speaker 1: that character used to do on that show.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, good, good example Hanka on that show. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I remember that.
Speaker 1: Guy from that show. Somebody help us in the chat,
Speaker 1: I know what.
Speaker 2: You're talking about where he's the announcer and he's.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, it's just what it's like his last name
Speaker 1: is the name of the show. Anyway, that's what I want.
Speaker 1: I don't need SpongeBob. I need the old timey voice.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. All right, let's get to the
Speaker 1: three up at three down. Stephen Kuan had himself a
Speaker 1: day four for five with a home or four ribbies,
Speaker 1: a six to one win over the White Sox Marcelo Zuna.
Speaker 1: It's been working on a swing and it paid off
Speaker 1: a walk off two run homer. But was so sad
Speaker 1: is our Schwellenbach and Lozardo where my Swallenbach and Lazard
Speaker 1: o bets did not cash because of the stupid rain delay.
Speaker 1: But both of them were on pace to shatter their strikeouts. So,
Speaker 1: you know, frustrating day for me. Breton Doyle Homer double
Speaker 1: drove in five runs of Bretton Doyle. If you didn't believe, well,
Speaker 1: that's too bad, was it? Brock My Brockmeyer, if that's
Speaker 1: it just came into my head and I see Todd's
Speaker 1: got it here, Brockmeyer. I never watched the Brockmeyer I think.
Speaker 2: There were a couple of seasons. I definitely watched the
Speaker 2: first season, maybe parts of the second one. Very very
Speaker 2: good show. Frank Cazaria, very very solid.
Speaker 1: Oh well, it looks like he's bulled a hamm. That's
Speaker 1: gotta be tough. They never had intercostal strains back then.
Speaker 2: No, there's a ribcage muscle this inning brought to your
Speaker 2: bot sasparilla.
Speaker 1: That sasparilla. You know, everyone's chewing tobacco. Everyone's smoking. That's
Speaker 1: that's it, drinking in there in the in the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna get in trouble. Everything that's righting through
Speaker 2: my head. There's just like there's too much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's just one game. That's all I want
Speaker 1: one Saturday afternoon. All right, the downs Jonathan Cannon SI
Speaker 1: runs five and a third. No, boy knows, Zach Littel,
Speaker 1: how this guy's gonna get bound so hard from this
Speaker 1: rotation soon? I mean, god, seven runs winning?
Speaker 2: Does I watch? Ian Seymour, twenty six year old triple
Speaker 2: A pitcher, had been unhittable in the minors. He might
Speaker 2: be the guy.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess because we still't have a time frame
Speaker 1: on Shane McLanahan, right, yeah, no we don't.
Speaker 2: I think it's still like a bit I that would
Speaker 2: be the guy that they would go to. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess to your bigger point than like
Speaker 2: when McClanahan comes back, I don't know, Littel's got it.
Speaker 1: It's Lyttel's spot that goes away, whether it goes away
Speaker 1: before McClanahan that's a different story. But if he keeps
Speaker 1: fitsing like this, it's going to be Also. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about this. Alec Bohm dropped to the seventh
Speaker 1: spot in the Phillies lineup. He has not hit at all.
Speaker 1: We've seen this happen before. Some slow starts, the crowd
Speaker 1: gets on him. So he is hitting. Check out this
Speaker 1: slash bucks seventy eight, one six two hundred, zero homers,
Speaker 1: three ribies, ten strikeouts, one walk. I feel like I
Speaker 1: could get up there into a better job than octilm
Speaker 1: Right now. I'm just saying yeah, I mean, I'm looking
Speaker 1: not defensively, but offensively. I think I could do it.
Speaker 2: I will say this underlying stuff is pretty sport. He's
Speaker 2: actually down to one sixty right now, but hard hits
Speaker 2: better than ever. He's barreling better than ever. His expected
Speaker 2: batting average is two seventy seven. So there might be, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, there might be like, let me look at
Speaker 2: his babbitt right now. Babbitt is two hundred. It's one
Speaker 2: hundred points lower. Like, you know, they're trying to get
Speaker 2: him going, but Alec Bohm is not someone you get
Speaker 2: super excited about. Kind of in general, they were trying
Speaker 2: to trade him in the off season. But I do
Speaker 2: think they're underlying stuff. Is telling us like there's a
Speaker 2: bounce back period if he starts getting cut, but he's
Speaker 2: still like low leveragy fantasy stuff RB Eyes, and that's
Speaker 2: really what you're going for.
Speaker 1: There were rumors about him being traded in the offseason.
Speaker 1: Ye I'm always talking, right, So I mean, maybe, just
Speaker 1: maybe this time, Alec Bohm doesn't get the bounce back.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I would not be shocked. I think
Speaker 1: the Phillies are in a very win now mode. You know,
Speaker 1: you've got Bryce Harper in his prime, You've got this
Speaker 1: incredible pitching staff so far, knock on wood, you've had
Speaker 1: some good health. To me, this is when you if
Speaker 1: Boem's not getting it done, you go out and you
Speaker 1: make a deal for a third baseman like you just
Speaker 1: fit figure it out. So watch this situation closely. I
Speaker 1: think the leash for ball will be shorter than it
Speaker 1: was in the past. That's another third base question from JD.
Speaker 1: What do y'all think about Josh Young. He looks really
Speaker 1: good for his first two games back. Maybe I should
Speaker 1: drop Swarez for him.
Speaker 2: Oh, I would not I'm not dropping Swarez, but Swarez
Speaker 2: is a little bit in that that bit that he
Speaker 2: does on Young real quick. I mean, again, it's just
Speaker 2: too I guess it's too small sample size. But guy,
Speaker 2: he's not striking out. He's hitting the ball pretty well
Speaker 2: in those first two. That offense just leads to a
Speaker 2: whole bunch while those guys are underperforming. Swore is the
Speaker 2: averages back down, which you hate to see. But again,
Speaker 2: like huge barrel, huge hard hit, expected batting average, his
Speaker 2: way up, dude hit his first five hits were all homers.
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks is one of the best offenses out there. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna not drop Swars for him, but I understand why
Speaker 2: I don't trust Josh Young. He hits lower in the lineup,
Speaker 2: and he also is one of the most injured players
Speaker 2: in baseball right now. So I'm not gonna drop who
Speaker 2: is a little bit underperforming, but I think a lot
Speaker 2: is telling us the bounce back in that offense is
Speaker 2: just still great with the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to this week's Chasing Challenges segment,
Speaker 1: brought to you by Microsoft. Just like the athletes who
Speaker 1: push boundaries and redefine what's possible. Business decision makers today
Speaker 1: are turning challenges into opportunities and Microsoft beats you or
Speaker 1: you are with tools and guidance to help you make
Speaker 1: an impact with safe, secure AI solutions. So whatever the
Speaker 1: challenges you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the expertise to
Speaker 1: say bring it on. And in this segment, we spotlight
Speaker 1: the challenges face by the Philadelphia Phillies with Alec Bohm.
Speaker 1: Why because, as I said, you've got a returning Atlanta
Speaker 1: Braves team with Spencer Streider and rond Akunya on the way.
Speaker 1: They'll figure things out. They have an emerging Spencer Schwellenbach
Speaker 1: in that rotation. The Mets just spent a billion dollars
Speaker 1: almost on Juan Soto. You know they are going to
Speaker 1: do everything it takes to win. So the Phillies are
Speaker 1: in the thick of it right now, and Patients I
Speaker 1: think is running thin with Alec Bohm. I know it's
Speaker 1: a couple weeks into the season. I know we've been
Speaker 1: here before. I've also seen the crowd turn on Alec
Speaker 1: Boum before and eventually him get things going. But I
Speaker 1: think this is a different scenario in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: I do not think that the Philadelphia Phillies will be
Speaker 1: as patient as they have been in the past. So
Speaker 1: maybe it means kicking the tires on a veteran third
Speaker 1: baseman who's got a contract expiring. Maybe it's going out
Speaker 1: there finding a more long term solution. But whatever it is,
Speaker 1: Alec Bohm needs to get a fire lit under him
Speaker 1: quickly because you cannot fall behind too far in this
Speaker 1: East with these teams, especially with a Washington Nationals team
Speaker 1: that I think is going to be plucky all season long.
Speaker 1: So the Phillies are in it. The Phillies are still
Speaker 1: my pick to win this division, but Alec Bohm right
Speaker 1: now is a liability. Dropping him in the order is
Speaker 1: not a good sign, and now I think he might
Speaker 1: be officially unnotice after trade rumors all off season. So
Speaker 1: we'll see if the solution is Alec Boum patience or
Speaker 1: if the solution is finding another person to replace Alec
Speaker 1: Boum in that lineup. And that's this week's Chasing a
Speaker 1: Challenges segment. Remember Microsoft AI solution empower you to take
Speaker 1: bold steps and new ideas to help drive your business forward,
Speaker 1: not backwards. Nobody wants to go backwards, and with Microsoft
Speaker 1: as your trusted partner, you can navigate your journey with confidence,
Speaker 1: finding innovative solutions and reaching new possibilities. To visit Microsoft
Speaker 1: dot com Slash Challengers to learn more. Injuries not too many.
Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez look good in his first minor league rehab,
Speaker 1: outing in low a one hit, three scoreless innings, but
Speaker 1: Spencer Streider struck out thirteen guys in five and a
Speaker 1: third triple A. Well, shit, I think he's ready. I
Speaker 1: think he's ready.
Speaker 2: Well, he is ready. He should be back in the rotation.
Speaker 2: I guess they didn't say, or I just didn't notice
Speaker 2: what they were saying, But like this is going to
Speaker 2: be the move where he's going to be back. I
Speaker 2: would assume early next week we're going to get back
Speaker 2: in the rotation. But struck out thirteen. He's been absolutely
Speaker 2: ridiculous in those minor league starts. Looks healthy, ready to
Speaker 2: go mid April, just like they said, ma enjoy the discount.
Speaker 2: He was one of those guys. I moved up a
Speaker 2: little bit later once we started getting those that news.
Speaker 2: But he's he legitimately has a shot to be the
Speaker 2: tippy top of fantasy rotations. And now you think about
Speaker 2: Chris Sale, Strider and Schwellenbach. There is not a better
Speaker 2: three in baseball with those three, right.
Speaker 1: I wonder actually now too, because you know, April is
Speaker 1: a distant memory by the time we start turning corners
Speaker 1: into the summertime. What is the Spencer Strider number for
Speaker 1: u Cy Young? That is interesting to me.
Speaker 2: Oh you think so you eat off like three starts
Speaker 2: and what it can be.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just saying that's all it is. At the
Speaker 1: end of the day.
Speaker 2: It's just tough what means in that division, And like you, Sail,
Speaker 2: he's just blawing up this year. I think that's a
Speaker 2: tough one to do. But if you're.
Speaker 1: William pitches on a much higher profile team Brave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they have Chris Sale and Schwellenbach who are
Speaker 2: both higher odd CYM candidates than him.
Speaker 1: Plus twenty two hundred plus twenty two one.
Speaker 2: If you're the type of brain like Joey likes to
Speaker 2: do this, I don't. But if you like to like
Speaker 2: bet a guy and then watch the market and then
Speaker 2: try to buy out, and if you want to try
Speaker 2: to do it a lout, you could do that on
Speaker 2: FanDuel the time, which, by the way, you could deposit
Speaker 2: with us. When you do FanDuel and five dollars I
Speaker 2: think gets you two hundred. What's the code again, Oh.
Speaker 1: It's fantasypros dot com slash leading off to do that that.
Speaker 2: Five get two hundred. You could do that because they
Speaker 2: probably do the best of any market of letting you
Speaker 2: like progressively just buy out of it. So that would
Speaker 2: be the place I would do that with the Strider otherwise,
Speaker 2: but that's not my I don't do that type of betting.
Speaker 2: But I get the logic of it. It's just tough.
Speaker 1: It's it's not betting, it's investing, Okay, and then you sell.
Speaker 1: That's what you do.
Speaker 2: You're buying an option, buying an option on.
Speaker 1: Strider exactly exactly. And this is insider trading here. I'm
Speaker 1: helping everybody make money. I have made a fair amount
Speaker 1: of money doing this the last couple of years in
Speaker 1: the baseball markets. When you find these guys and you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: can Spencer Schrider go and can Spencer Schrider get that
Speaker 1: number from plus twenty two hundred to plus two fifty
Speaker 1: And the answer is one thousand percent yes. And if
Speaker 1: he does that, they're going to offer you buyouts they're
Speaker 1: going to offer you sixty seventy percent of your investment,
Speaker 1: so why not take it? Here's a great question. No
Speaker 1: one Aeronautol to the Philadelphia Phillies. Yes, that is exactly
Speaker 1: the guy, one hundred percent the guy. The Phillies will
Speaker 1: eat enough of that contract if they need to. Is
Speaker 1: he the perfect solution? No, but yes, that is exactly.
Speaker 2: Gotta accept it though he h what are you gonna
Speaker 2: do of wouldn't you?
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he a gept it?
Speaker 2: He didn't. He rejected a trade in the off season,
Speaker 2: like he has the rights to reject, so he kind
Speaker 2: of opened Phillies. I don't know it was the I
Speaker 2: think it was the Astros. He rejected the Astros trade,
Speaker 2: which had plenty of stars there. So he's got to
Speaker 2: be able to like accept it, and he seemed more
Speaker 2: accepting to it towards the back half of spring training
Speaker 2: or right towards the end, so I assume. But just
Speaker 2: throwing that out there, like he has to accept it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's where they want to go.
Speaker 2: But if Boom is such an albatross to their offense,
Speaker 2: I suppose so, But they have to have a replacement
Speaker 2: and then you're but then you're talking about like is
Speaker 2: this gonna be a three way trade like Eronado goes
Speaker 2: to Philly and Boam goes to somewhere like Seattle. That
Speaker 2: would make some sense, and then you know those two
Speaker 2: teams move something over.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well Saint Louis will just take a prospect. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's how coast. Yeah, all right, it's time everyone for
Speaker 1: our best bets of today with Joey p and the
Speaker 1: Welsh so well shouldn't feel good about his bets yesterday,
Speaker 1: but he should have because everything he touch turned to gold.
Speaker 1: I feel like yesterday. And of course, if you need
Speaker 1: some extra help, don't forget about the prop bet cheat sheet.

Speaker 1: going with Team Totals today. How about in Tampa? Yeah,
Speaker 1: against TODs, Bradley Atlanta Braves. I saw Matt Olsen take
Speaker 1: like a twelve pitch app at yesterday. Ozuna is getting hot.
Speaker 1: I think Riley's going to turn around. Yeah, let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. The Braves are starting to get hot.
Speaker 1: And now I'm going to test my theory, which is
Speaker 1: these teams that come into Tampa are gonna rake. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the Braves. Four and a half
Speaker 1: team total. Let's take the over plus money. Same thing
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox. I'm gonna take this one against
Speaker 1: the White Sox in Chicago. Four and a half is
Speaker 1: the team totally getting basically even money on that minus
Speaker 1: one oh two and then Aaron Judge over point five ribbis.
Speaker 1: Just one ribby, that's all he needs at home plus
Speaker 1: one forty. That is an easy day at the office,
Speaker 1: I think, and I think a way to get back
Speaker 1: in the groove. Welsh, what do you have for the
Speaker 1: people on a fun Friday?
Speaker 2: I like it? Yeah, yeah, I like seeing some team
Speaker 2: totals out of you. That's fun. I'm going with I
Speaker 2: got another run line play. We had a run line
Speaker 2: play yesterday. We're going with San Diego Santiago, Spanish four,
Speaker 2: covering by two runs. They're gonna cover two runs over Colorado.
Speaker 2: It's in San Diego Hermion Marquez, but Nick Pavetta is
Speaker 2: on there getting plus money minus one and a half
Speaker 2: plus one oh five San Diego run line. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go with Texas money line. It's minus one twenty five.
Speaker 2: Jacob de Gram is pitching. It's Bryce Miller, Jacob de Grom.
Speaker 2: It's a good outing. Murphy's kind of interesting, but it's
Speaker 2: like minus one sixty, So minus one twenty five Texas
Speaker 2: money line backing Jacob de Gram, and then I am
Speaker 2: going to take the Detroit Tiger's first five team total
Speaker 2: runs take a breath over one point five, so I
Speaker 2: am betting that Detroit is going to score two runs
Speaker 2: in the first five innings going up against David Festa.
Speaker 2: David Festa had a little bit of a rough start,
Speaker 2: and the Miners already Tiger's fun fact in the first five,
Speaker 2: I believe are the third highest scoring team through the
Speaker 2: first five innings, so minus one forty. It's a bit
Speaker 2: juiced up, but Tiger's to score two through the first
Speaker 2: five Texas money line and the San Diego run line
Speaker 2: plus one oh five here you go.
Speaker 1: Those are the best bets of the day, which brings
Speaker 1: us to the home run board, where I think Welsh
Speaker 1: is gonna be higher than he was yesterday.
Speaker 2: It's just advance.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people at angels, but let's
Speaker 1: take a look here and what do we have. Well,
Speaker 1: we have a Sammy Sosa jersey to give away number one,
Speaker 1: and we have the Welsh all the way up to
Speaker 1: the sixth spot. Look at that Welsh far out goes
Speaker 1: to ten, George h eighty four goes to ten. Razor
Speaker 1: ramone drops to third. There the Welsh at sixth. Welsh,
Speaker 1: what a time to be alive, right, I mean, they've gotta.
Speaker 2: Be loving Fine's the highest I've ever been on this board,
Speaker 2: especially like after like the first week. But Mike Trout
Speaker 2: gets me two on the board. That's a fun thing
Speaker 2: about the contest. By the way, if you don't know
Speaker 2: if your pick hits two or three homers, you also
Speaker 2: get two or three homers. So right behind Wonky. Though
Speaker 2: Wonkey is the scariest of all of them. Wonkee's always
Speaker 2: high up on this list. She absolutely destroys the home
Speaker 2: run contest. You guys can still take part in at
Speaker 2: me and Walkee. You're starting to move away, but join
Speaker 2: the discord. Get a sub on here, get in and
Speaker 2: start making your picks today because you still have an
Speaker 2: easy chance to beat Joe Pieza Pia, who has.
Speaker 1: Wow on the board. Matter.
Speaker 2: Joe's giving you guys a head too, like the Freeze.
Speaker 2: Oh you have two?
Speaker 1: I have two?
Speaker 2: Okay, you're like the you know the Freeze.
Speaker 1: Tani Homer and a Brent Rooker homer from last weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna have more Homers because I'm taking
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge for the weekend. So Friday's Arias Sunday, Aaron
Speaker 1: Joje at home. That's my home run pick. It's plus
Speaker 1: two thirty if you like him today, Welsh, where you're
Speaker 1: going for your home run? Call today, I've.
Speaker 2: Got a plus four seventy plus four to seventy bet
Speaker 2: Manny Machado. Manny's going up again Herman Marquez again. It
Speaker 2: is in San Diego, but Manny has been on that
Speaker 2: power push. We get Tatis back. It looks like today,
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with Manny Machado just for today.
Speaker 2: I will be in putting my bets this weekend, maybe
Speaker 2: even doing a little Aaron Judge of the weekend because
Speaker 2: we got a three day slate. I know you are
Speaker 2: perpetuity through the weekend of Judge, but I will go
Speaker 2: on the discord and make some changes daily.
Speaker 1: I'm a busy man on the weekend, so I just
Speaker 1: make my Friday through Sunday pick that's my guy. For
Speaker 1: better or worse, we'll see on Monday. I doubt I'm
Speaker 1: gonna find myself on the board, but hopefully a couple
Speaker 1: homers where I start to pull myself out of it.
