Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live as B Joey, p Joe Pi, Zipia. And
Speaker 1: you wanted the intro, you got the intro today. We
Speaker 1: got to bring it back and fix it around though,
Speaker 1: but we didn't want to not play it just for fun,
Speaker 1: because well we like to have fun around these places.
Speaker 1: We're here on our Twitch, Twitch dot tv slash Fantasy
Speaker 1: Pros Live every single day noon Eastern time. Join us there.
Speaker 1: I saw our subs just blew up over the weekend,
Speaker 1: which I love to see. And only did that blow up,
Speaker 1: but also the Yankee Bats blew up. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about that. We're gonna talk about injuries, we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about bets, and we're also going to talk about the
Speaker 1: reason again that we're moving over to Twitch is because
Speaker 1: what we're able to do on the YouTube an all
Speaker 1: time record of a Leading Off episode not one, but two,
Speaker 1: but three times as many views on that episode. Very cool.
Speaker 1: I just want to thank everybody else out there for
Speaker 1: subscribing on the YouTube channel or remember the show will
Speaker 1: be on YouTube every single day, so don't worry about that. Well,
Speaker 1: that was really cool to see that everybody came over
Speaker 1: to Twitch to watch us live today to support us,
Speaker 1: and also on the YouTube channel. Do you feel the love?
Speaker 1: Because I feel it.
Speaker 2: I do feel the love. Yeah, a little conjointed there.
Speaker 2: We got to like watch it physically for everybody, but
Speaker 2: on that little video there, But yes, we all time
Speaker 2: record episode of leading off. On the second episode. It
Speaker 2: was funny because it wasn't the first one too. The
Speaker 2: first one was like, okay, very good, it's.
Speaker 1: Too busy complaining about MLBtv networking that day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. Well, guess what, it's Panic Monday,
Speaker 2: and we've got lots of other things to complain about,
Speaker 2: from the utensils they use on the field to the
Speaker 2: players that you're putting in your fantasy lineups. We've got
Speaker 2: all the panic and all of the chaos that you
Speaker 2: could possibly handle.
Speaker 1: All right, let's jump right into it. Also, shout out
Speaker 1: to Trill first time on Twitch. That's we love to see.
Speaker 1: We love seeing that. Awesome. All right, So let's jump
Speaker 1: in with two feet here because we've got the Yankees.
Speaker 1: We got to talk about this incredible weekend for the Yankees.
Speaker 1: They are on pace. By the way, this is not
Speaker 1: made up, you know, normally I like to be a
Speaker 1: little hyperbolic for comedy's sake here on the show. They're
Speaker 1: on pace for eight hundred and ten home runs on
Speaker 1: the season right now, four home runs, including three straight
Speaker 1: in the first, hitting twenty runs against Milwaukee on Saturday.
Speaker 1: I was watching as it was cleaning up the house,
Speaker 1: and I thought that like something was on a loop
Speaker 1: or they were showing like because I was going in
Speaker 1: and out, like, what is another home run? Another home run?
Speaker 2: Is the MLBtv messing up again? Are they just in
Speaker 2: the same play? No?
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that was part of it. But the interesting
Speaker 1: thing was the torpedo bats became a bit of a
Speaker 1: question mark. Now Anthony Volpi, who I've had multiple home
Speaker 1: runs recently, he's using a jazz Chisholm who is on
Speaker 1: fires using it. He was three for four with two homers.
Speaker 1: His exit velocity, by the way, Welsh around ninety last year.
Speaker 1: This year it's at one oh five. I looked into
Speaker 1: that because I wanted to see what's going on now.
Speaker 1: These bats early, they are not illegal, they are legal.
Speaker 1: They were made by some Mit folks. Some of the
Speaker 1: bats from other teams made by some Kennedy College. I
Speaker 1: can only assume. But basically what they're doing is they're
Speaker 1: moving the barrel a little bit and focusing on where
Speaker 1: certain hitters tend to make more of their contact. Not
Speaker 1: everybody has great barrel rates, So basically, if you don't
Speaker 1: have a good barrel rate, that's okay, we'll just move
Speaker 1: the barrel for you. Some other teams, I think Junior
Speaker 1: camp and Arrow said he's got one, a couple other teams.
Speaker 1: Reee Hoskins I saw, he said, I just ordered a
Speaker 1: dozen after this weekend, So we'll see what goes on there.
Speaker 1: We actually have a picture of case you didn't see
Speaker 1: what it looks like. Oh, here's a picture of what
Speaker 1: the bat looks like right now. So there you go.
Speaker 1: So that kind of looks like that a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not very noticeable. Welsh' that's the big part.
Speaker 2: I want to I think I bought one of these
Speaker 2: from my kid at a game one time. That's a
Speaker 2: good look.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, there's a little bit more barrel, not a ton, guys,
Speaker 2: But that's a big old bat, you know. Fun fact too,
Speaker 2: by the way, this bat has actually been around since
Speaker 2: last year. Drake Baldwin talked about using one of these
Speaker 2: in the AFL, So this is not like the newest thing.
Speaker 2: But I usually everybody hates it and everyone's like MLB,
Speaker 2: he's got to look into it. I think it's great.
Speaker 2: I think like good like I love innovation, you know what,
Speaker 2: Like of all the sports, there's no more innovation in
Speaker 2: any other sport than baseball. Whether it is willing to
Speaker 2: change the base paths fake in pretend you're not changing
Speaker 2: the baseballs at every moment and seems and allowing the
Speaker 2: bat and all it is is like I guess there's
Speaker 2: a certain amount of wood if you will, and they're
Speaker 2: just moving some of the wood from the top end
Speaker 2: of the barrel. And it's really it's super smart. If
Speaker 2: we're gonna sit there and be high analytical. It is
Speaker 2: utilizing the highest contact point of a hitter and just
Speaker 2: putting the barrel there. If that's legal, Go down everybody
Speaker 2: for doing it. I'm all for it, but careful what
Speaker 2: you wish for, because we are going to have a
Speaker 2: whole new version of fly ball. I know multip people
Speaker 2: have talked about it. Home run a flyball ratio is
Speaker 2: up like it's never been before. You want to you
Speaker 2: want to try to get pitchers to stop throwing one
Speaker 2: hundred and blowing out their arms and get back to pitching.
Speaker 2: I don't think making the home run and barrel rate
Speaker 2: even higher is going to help to any of that.
Speaker 2: I am fascinated to see if Baseball tries to counteract
Speaker 2: it with pretending to another seam issue in there. But hey, man,
Speaker 2: I'm for this thing. Not every player is using it. Ironically,
Speaker 2: you pick Judge and he's one that's not using it,
Speaker 2: but a lot are.
Speaker 1: And you know what, Look it's fine. I mean technology,
Speaker 1: it just seemed to come out of nowhere, but apparently
Speaker 1: it did not. It was just on the down low.
Speaker 1: And I think you're going to see a lot of
Speaker 1: copycat people. It's a copycat league, and it's a league
Speaker 1: that's looking for offense, and the league that always is
Speaker 1: going to make it difficult for pitchers. So get ready
Speaker 1: because some of these pictures eras might start flying to
Speaker 1: the other thing. I will point out the Brewers' pitchers
Speaker 1: were awful. They they were familiar with Cortes. They lit
Speaker 1: it was awful. Lot of the well, no, some of
Speaker 1: the other ones were too. But they also I want
Speaker 1: to say the velocity of the pitches they hit out
Speaker 1: were all between eighty five and ninety two. So when
Speaker 1: you're throwing batting practice up there, it doesn't matter you
Speaker 1: know what kind of bat, using a fun go bat,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Balls are gonna go out. So that's
Speaker 1: the main headline. Will monitor this. It's something to keep
Speaker 1: in mind in your Yankee Stadium two when you're looking
Speaker 1: at home run profser guys now like Chisholm and Volpi
Speaker 1: and whoever else is on here because different bat, smaller ballpark,
Speaker 1: you know, lesser opponent, a lot of possible things. There
Speaker 1: A sigh of relief Jose Ramirez, everybody, including me yours truly.
Speaker 1: I just drafted him in our fantasy pros league and
Speaker 1: then immediately sprained right wrist. But good news, he was
Speaker 1: just day to day. All the imaging came back clean,
Speaker 1: so you can breathe. Everybody, hos your mirror is okay.
Speaker 1: He might even play today. I haven't seen the lineups yet,
Speaker 1: but my guess is he doesn't play today, but we'll
Speaker 1: get him at some point this week. Jacob de Gram
Speaker 1: was back five innings, six k's, two walks, no runs.
Speaker 1: The velocity was sitting between eighty six. Excuse me ninety
Speaker 1: six and ninety eight Welsh. What did you make of
Speaker 1: the Jacob de Grom start yesterday?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I liked it. It was really interesting because early
Speaker 2: on he really didn't get any strikeouts. If you were
Speaker 2: playing a strikeout prop, I didn't. He had no strikeouts
Speaker 2: in the first inning, and I think he ended the
Speaker 2: second with one or two or something like that. And
Speaker 2: part of that was in the first three innings. I
Speaker 2: believe Lance Brasdowski had mentioned this that he started throwing
Speaker 2: the change up, and he threw the change up in
Speaker 2: the first three innings a whole bunch, and it worked
Speaker 2: pretty well. That ended up having a fifteen percent usage.
Speaker 2: That change up had a sixty percent with rate, which
Speaker 2: led to later in the game fastball slider going ballistic.
Speaker 2: He went primary slider in this one forty percent slider
Speaker 2: had a fifty percent with rate. Fastball did not get
Speaker 2: a bunch of whiffs, did not get a bunch of
Speaker 2: called strikes, but he essentially used the fastball to just
Speaker 2: set up that change up and specifically that slider. That
Speaker 2: slider was absolutely dominant. I thought it was a fantastic start.
Speaker 2: He was super efficient. It took seventy something pitches for
Speaker 2: him to get through five, and I wonder if it's
Speaker 2: going to be something to track, if you know, maybe
Speaker 2: using a change up earlier on incounts is going to
Speaker 2: set him up to later big strikeouts in the betting
Speaker 2: market watch for maybe his strikeouts to come back down.
Speaker 2: But I thought it was massively encouraging for Jacob de
Speaker 2: Grom here in the health and just everything. And I
Speaker 2: don't know, I know you're like not super into Jacob
Speaker 2: de Grom, but the outing just screamed positivity, and some
Speaker 2: of the pitch mixed change was also something really interesting
Speaker 2: to monitor instead of him just trying to throw, you know,
Speaker 2: just try to throw one hundred at every point. You know,
Speaker 2: he doesn't need to necessarily do that. He hit ninety eight,
Speaker 2: but he sat ninety six in this start.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna look positive, of course, don't don't mistaken
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Jacob de Grom. I like Jacob de Grom.
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to pay the calls for Jacob
Speaker 1: de Grom because I thought it was a terrible investment.
Speaker 1: And I'll stick by that. It's April tomorrow, so we'll
Speaker 1: see how it goes. Time.
Speaker 2: One thing on like so Mayor. Mayor brings up a
Speaker 2: really interesting point. He goes da Graham's change up looked
Speaker 2: off to me. It was sailing and staying up in
Speaker 2: the zone. But he was good anyway. But part of
Speaker 2: it was like his change like no Pun intended. He
Speaker 2: was throwing a change up more early on in the
Speaker 2: game that was setting up this later slider and fastball setup.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to see to your point. You know,
Speaker 2: if he's throwing more of a change up that he's
Speaker 2: uncomfortable with, you could see some iffiness in early starts.
Speaker 2: But also this could be the setup for just big strikeouts.
Speaker 2: We might be we might be in store for like
Speaker 2: a really interesting good Jacob de Gram's season. But we're
Speaker 2: gonna have to watch that change up usage.
Speaker 1: And he got a questions. You could drop me and
Speaker 1: we'll try to get to some question today too. Would
Speaker 1: you drop Nimo for Shaw or a bray you? Nimo
Speaker 1: felt me in the draft and he took and I
Speaker 1: took him just on principle, I would not drop Nimo
Speaker 1: for a bray You. For sure Shaw is interesting. It
Speaker 1: depends on your roster construction, but I'd rather have.
Speaker 2: Nimo man it's close. I am big forty one percent yesterday,
Speaker 2: will you or Bray who's ownership was across I don't
Speaker 2: remember if it's just ESPN or Yahoo. We track on
Speaker 2: Fantasy pros some of the things. It's all for the sites.
Speaker 2: But regardless on I know like some people are gonna
Speaker 2: be like, well, were Brutal was not available. Willie Bravey
Speaker 2: is available under fifty percent of leagues. You got to
Speaker 2: pick him up like him and mckinzigre with the two
Speaker 2: players that yeah, well okay, but not even while he's hot,
Speaker 2: like great bat speed, good power, He's healthy, and I
Speaker 2: think that's what's super underrated about him. I might consider
Speaker 2: shot for him if I really needed some outfield help.
Speaker 2: I think you might be shocked and surprised at how
Speaker 2: close those two guys are. I'm not dropping Nemo, but
Speaker 2: I'm very very pro will you or Brady if you
Speaker 2: can findure.
Speaker 1: Think Bray you here's the footsteps of Roman Anthony. That's
Speaker 1: what I think personally, Nucking wants to know. Speaking of panic,
Speaker 1: someone dropped Totlia. Would you drop Cees or Garrett Mitchell
Speaker 1: for him? Here's your guy, Welsh? What do you do?
Speaker 2: Ooh? I don't think I could drop Cees right now.
Speaker 2: I think he's starting to lock in. I think he
Speaker 2: was hitting four yesterday right behind Ellie, which you really
Speaker 2: want to see. But I would be okay with Garrett Mitchell,
Speaker 2: like I I like Garrett Mitchell and stuff. He's at
Speaker 2: the end of the draft. I think totally is going
Speaker 2: to start to get going. I've obviously been pro him,
Speaker 2: so I would be cool with that.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Spencer Swellenbach very good yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's funny. Roby Ray was very good yesterday and the
Speaker 1: things just kind of unraveled. Was he perfect? I think
Speaker 1: the first five innings and then you know, things went bad.
Speaker 1: Waiver Wire. As you were saying, by the way, make
Speaker 1: sure you follow us on social media. Just put out
Speaker 1: a Waiverwire video. Two of guys even still floating around
Speaker 1: there after waivers have run, you might be able to
Speaker 1: pick up a bray you forty one percent rostered Lozardo,
Speaker 1: who had a huge day. We'll talk more about that
Speaker 1: later in the show. Jeffrey Springs, remember I kept talking
Speaker 1: about Jeffrey Springs towards the end of the era. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what thirty one percent rostered Manzarto another one of
Speaker 1: Joeyp's guys. He's gotten off to a good star torkleson
Speaker 1: two twenty seven percent, so lots of good there, Rookie
Speaker 1: lookie time getting caught up on some of the rookies,
Speaker 1: the good and the bad. Christian Campbell hot start, good
Speaker 1: egg of velocities, first home run, also deep into talks
Speaker 1: for an extension. So you know, the socks have not
Speaker 1: pulled any punches here. They know exactly what they think
Speaker 1: of Christian Gamble. They want to lock him up. They
Speaker 1: don't want a similar situation where like Mookie Bets two
Speaker 1: point out again where they.
Speaker 2: Just this is what you do, but this is what
Speaker 2: you do with these young guys. You get them locked up.
Speaker 2: The Divecks just did it with Brandon Fott, is what
Speaker 2: you do. Really interesting about Christian Campbell outside of some
Speaker 2: of the success And I told you guys, I have
Speaker 2: two al Rookie of the Year bets. I did that
Speaker 2: last I got twenty five to one on cam Smith,
Speaker 2: which is super fun. But before that I got seven
Speaker 2: and a half to one on Christian Campbell. Christian Campbell
Speaker 2: is putting up really high like top ten bat speed numbers,
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball and also putting a big hard
Speaker 2: hit numbers. I think he had like a one to twelve.
Speaker 2: His average EV is low, but it's two. This is
Speaker 2: early in the season, but he's already put up like
Speaker 2: a one to twelve max EV. So big hard hit
Speaker 2: which you really love to see. Incredible bat speed which
Speaker 2: is working through. That's something we're going to talk about
Speaker 2: Devers that's ticking down. There's some underlying elements that just
Speaker 2: make me feel really really great about Chris Campbell and
Speaker 2: seeing those two things click with some of the success.
Speaker 2: Christian Campbell, I think, is in a really really good
Speaker 2: spot right now, is going to continue moving up that lineup.
Speaker 1: Be weezy. How we feeling about Dylan Cruz Funny you
Speaker 1: should mention him, but weezy because he's next on our
Speaker 1: list to talk about over eleven eight strikeouts? Is panic
Speaker 1: setting in on this first Monday of the MLB season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had questions about it yesterday. He is getting
Speaker 2: eaten up. There's you know, righty's, he's going down to
Speaker 2: eight lefties. I think he moved up. Sliders are killing him.
Speaker 2: I think righty's are killing him right now. Someone asks,
Speaker 2: like how much how many more strikeouts can he have
Speaker 2: before he's sent down. I do think there's a Jackson
Speaker 2: Holiday potential in him. If it gets bad, there's the
Speaker 2: potential for, like, you know, two weeks from now. If
Speaker 2: it continues like this, maybe they do send him down.
Speaker 2: I tend to think not. And obviously it's three games.
Speaker 2: Let's like let him adjust and stuff as a rookie.
Speaker 2: But there is some panic, guys, and I would start
Speaker 2: putting him on the bench for a little bit because
Speaker 2: right handed hitters are absolutely destroying him.
Speaker 1: Well, right in pitchers, or certainly our pitchers.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you know what.
Speaker 1: He Anthony Volpi's back, but that's not the only young
Speaker 1: guys we're gonna talk about today. Because everybody's favorite segment
Speaker 1: is back. It's time for prospecting with the Welsh. That's right,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be prospecting mine in the minor leagues. Let's
Speaker 1: try to find us some prospects we won't be adding
Speaker 1: to our rosters. Let's start off with Kyle Teal, who
Speaker 1: has been red hot here to start the year. Kyle
Speaker 1: Teal part of the Garret Crochet trade coming over from
Speaker 1: the Boston Red Sox, so a huge part of that
Speaker 1: deal is basically the the part, but you know, the
Speaker 1: main piece, And interesting enough, I still can't believe that
Speaker 1: they got Garret Crochet and didn't have to move Anthony
Speaker 1: Campbell or may or any of those other guys they
Speaker 1: asked us for Mike Mayor. I said yes, Wels said no,
Speaker 1: and they ended up not taking him. So what are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? At the end of the day, Kyle
Speaker 1: Teal off to a good start. The power certainly there
Speaker 1: for this left handed bat.
Speaker 2: So Teal's really interesting to throw in here when we're
Speaker 2: talking about it early in the season. Triple A has started.
Speaker 2: We don't even have the rest of the minor league season,
Speaker 2: but it's still we can look at stashing prospects and
Speaker 2: Kyle Teal is a fascinating one two catcher leagues. I
Speaker 2: think he should really pay attention to him singular. It's
Speaker 2: something to watch for. He's been an absolute hitting machine
Speaker 2: since he's gone down to Triple A. Going into yesterday,
Speaker 2: he was already hitting over five hundred couple homers. And
Speaker 2: what I think is most fascinating about it, and this
Speaker 2: is a balance and a dance you have to do
Speaker 2: with prospects is you've got to have the balance of
Speaker 2: their talent versus the potential spot for them to play in.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about one of those guys here,
Speaker 2: maybe the most talented prospects in the game, with wears
Speaker 2: his spot. Kyle Teal, though, is in a situation that
Speaker 2: do we really think that Corey Lee and Matt Thiss
Speaker 2: are players that can hold him down? No, I don't
Speaker 2: think so. They send him to Triple A with the
Speaker 2: potential of going to the majors. I don't think they're
Speaker 2: in a spot where you want to hold him down
Speaker 2: for extra year. I mean, anything is possible if he struggles.
Speaker 2: But I think this really big hot start, also with
Speaker 2: the White Sox winning a few games, that you're only
Speaker 2: a little bit more struggles out of a Matt Dice,
Speaker 2: maybe not Corky Lee, but a Matt Dice from Kyle
Speaker 2: Teal coming up. So the very very first weekend of
Speaker 2: the Triple A season, Kyle Till really popped off. And
Speaker 2: he's a player that you got to keep on your mind,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: Next up, let's talk about Bubba Chandler. Everybody's to talk
Speaker 1: about him in the preseason. Another one of these pitching
Speaker 1: prospects from Pittsburgh. So what's the four on one on Bubba.
Speaker 2: So Bubba Chandler, one big thing we're going to see
Speaker 2: is he is pitching tomorrow. He is pitching on four
Speaker 2: to one. So if you guys want to start off,
Speaker 2: it's not an April Fools joke. Hopefully the line is
Speaker 2: also not a fool. But Bubba Chandler is going to
Speaker 2: get that first start, and I think it's going to
Speaker 2: be really really telling to innings. I think they might
Speaker 2: build him up a tiny bit. There is a battle
Speaker 2: between him and Thomas Harrington, but I will say this,
Speaker 2: Thomas Harrington's one of the best minor league pitching prospects
Speaker 2: out there as well. Harrington seemed like the short gap
Speaker 2: they would go with him if they're in a spot
Speaker 2: right now where we're just waiting a bit until one
Speaker 2: guy comes up, and obviously the Jared Jones scare or
Speaker 2: maybe it works out being good. I think Bubba Chandler,
Speaker 2: when they decide to go with a main guy, is
Speaker 2: going to be just an absolutely phenomenal, big fastball. They've
Speaker 2: also given us the blueprint of pitching prospects coming up
Speaker 2: in Jones and Paul Skeins, and if the Jared Jones
Speaker 2: injury is worse than thought. I think the worst case
Speaker 2: scenario is Bubba Chandler is up in six weeks. I
Speaker 2: think there is a possibility that we can see him
Speaker 2: at the end of this month. This is prospects to
Speaker 2: stash and or monitor. It is very, very early, but
Speaker 2: you got to keep. If you have a top five
Speaker 2: list of prospects you should stash right now, Bubba Chandler
Speaker 2: should be on it. And let's pay attention to that.
Speaker 2: April first start.
Speaker 1: Til I've moved all the way up to the top
Speaker 1: of mine stashes, because I just feel like, as you
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, this pathway is so clear and potentially so
Speaker 1: quick if he continues to hit. Let's go to another
Speaker 1: prospect here. Next on our list is Nick Kurtz, Athletics
Speaker 1: first baseman. Now, not much room at the inn for him,
Speaker 1: But what is about Nick Kurtz? Do you wanted to
Speaker 1: bring out for the people today?
Speaker 2: So this is the toughest one. So man, it is
Speaker 2: literally like guys in front are killing me here because
Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz, this is another one of those absolutely hot
Speaker 2: start in triple A. That's an aggressive assignment that they
Speaker 2: decided Nick Kurts is just drafted last year. They didn't
Speaker 2: go with even like the Christian more go and throw
Speaker 2: him and you know, you know, put him at double
Speaker 2: A or whatever. They threw him right at triple A.
Speaker 2: Kurts has gone right in and started hitting. I mean,
Speaker 2: you want to put a torpedo bat in someone's hands,
Speaker 2: put it in Nick Kurtz's hands. That dude really great contact.
Speaker 2: You're not going to fool him inside, big, big power numbers, legit.
Speaker 2: The only thing holding him back right now is that
Speaker 2: the guys in front of him with I almost did
Speaker 2: the Oakland thing with the A's. The sacramento is that
Speaker 2: Tyler Soderstrom is off to a really hot start. He
Speaker 2: looks really good, and they got Brent Rooker at DH.
Speaker 2: Nick Kertz does not have position flexibility. That's a big
Speaker 2: thing I'm holding him back. Also does as a catcher,
Speaker 2: but you got to shangal ears, so I'm not one
Speaker 2: hundred percent sure how they do that. If soda Strom
Speaker 2: or Brent Rooker were to be hurt, I think Kurtz
Speaker 2: is up immediately. If you get a big struggle buss
Speaker 2: going on, Kurtz would be up. The problem you have
Speaker 2: here is the blockage versus the amount of minor league time.
Speaker 2: This could push into May or even June. But if
Speaker 2: you're going to do an early stash, this is what
Speaker 2: this is all about right now, about a week early stash.
Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz being at Triple A, having that hot bat
Speaker 2: and be in the future of this team in a
Speaker 2: minor league ballpark is phenomenal. We might have to pay
Speaker 2: attention to him more later in the season, but we're
Speaker 2: looking out for Nick Kurtz right now.
Speaker 1: Who's more blocked right now? Nick Kurtz A Roman Anthony.
Speaker 2: I think Nick Kurtz right now, that's a great question.
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about.
Speaker 1: Rita here coming back at some point too. I mean,
Speaker 1: then that gets really crowded over there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they it's tough. It's tough to say
Speaker 2: because you're right, like, but I think like Yoshida is
Speaker 2: trending on a major downward spiral. It seems like there
Speaker 2: is like one there's like one physical move this team
Speaker 2: could make and they could get Roman Anthony up right
Speaker 2: now and it would be with Rafaela and moving around
Speaker 2: the outfield. But if they do love Yoshida and they
Speaker 2: don't move him or something. Yeah, it does block. Both
Speaker 2: of these guys are blocked. That's the kind of sucky thing.
Speaker 2: But that's also why I'm adamant if in this first week,
Speaker 2: just if you are a speculator on prospects and a pickup,
Speaker 2: pick up the biggest best names. If there is an
Speaker 2: injury or something crazy happens, and then as things start
Speaker 2: to show out a little bit more and we have
Speaker 2: higher sample sizes, then we can make more calculated, educated
Speaker 2: guesses of when guys are going to come up.
Speaker 1: All right, I don't usually like to recommend starting pitchers
Speaker 1: on the Colorado Rockies. Was Chase Delander clearly one with talent.
Speaker 1: So talk to me about Delander, what you see potentially
Speaker 1: going forward for him.
Speaker 2: I think everybody is with you. Nobody wants to do
Speaker 2: the pitching prospect in Colorado. I completely understand. But he
Speaker 2: is a very unique talent. Had his first start this weekend.
Speaker 2: It was on Sunday when four innings, struck out five,
Speaker 2: give up six hits, two walks, an earned run. Very
Speaker 2: very good start. The four innings is big key. It's
Speaker 2: a multi pitch arsenal that even he has talked about.
Speaker 2: He thinks he can get into Colorado and he can
Speaker 2: avoid losing some of those big spin numbers. He's a
Speaker 2: massively efficient college pitcher out of Tennessee. He almost made
Speaker 2: the rotation. I again like Colorado pitchers are kind of icky,
Speaker 2: but Kyle Frieland played well out of Colorado. I think
Speaker 2: Dolander could be a pitcher that could even succeed outside
Speaker 2: of just post Colorado starts. To me, he is a
Speaker 2: guy that you need to keep a lookout for. I
Speaker 2: think he could be up very very soon in Colorado,
Speaker 2: and you know, beware of your ratios and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: But Dolander and Bubba Chandler are the top two pitching
Speaker 2: prospects that I think have a shorter timeline, like Andrew
Speaker 2: Painters the number one, but we know he will not
Speaker 2: come until the back half of the year, so I'm
Speaker 2: still in on Dolander.
Speaker 1: There you go. Make sure you continue to follow all
Speaker 1: of Welsh's work on prospects over at Fantasypros dot com
Speaker 1: and check out Prospect One his podcast as well. And that,
Speaker 1: my friends, is the first of twenty twenty five's Prospected

Speaker 2: a couple of our subs just during this tons and
Speaker 2: tons of new followers in here as well.

Speaker 2: Bring that one up right there from Fantasy Pros. Right there,
Speaker 2: we have two. You guys can't quite see this, but
Speaker 2: Glitchy Joe and Puppet Welsh right there are just the
Speaker 2: Puppet Welsh one is absolutely phenomenal. I want to make
Speaker 2: stickers on it. But yeah, shout out to everybody that's
Speaker 2: doing the follows, which we.
Speaker 1: Can't figure out why. Again, it seems like just a
Speaker 1: stream yard issue because everything else I do is fine
Speaker 1: on every other platform. So who knows what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? Uh? Yeah, Mike Maher saying, yeah, I started
Speaker 1: off cold last year and then started calling Otadi and
Speaker 1: Judge every day. And guess what, there's no rules that
Speaker 1: I can't so Mayor, I got two words for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: right there, buddy, that's right. It's going back to nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety eight right there. All right, let's get the three
Speaker 1: up and three down with some fun stuff. Hey, Zu's
Speaker 1: lizardo oh way was he good? Eleven strikeouts two or
Speaker 1: and over five On Saturday, Jordan Westburg four for five
Speaker 1: with two homers. On Saturday, Josh Nailer reach base all
Speaker 1: five of his plate appearances, So happy Welsh there for
Speaker 1: his Diamondbacks. Do toy down Bailey Ober pounded for eight runs,
Speaker 1: but don't fret. Last year the same thing happened. I
Speaker 1: want to say, like his first day era is like
Speaker 1: one of the worst ever starts in baseball, always every
Speaker 1: single year, and then he's fine. So I don't know
Speaker 1: whatever it is. He just doesn't like this first start,
Speaker 1: but it's wild. Michael, I'm not a I know Norvin
Speaker 1: under guy. Michael Harris by the way oero for three
Speaker 1: strikeout for the Braves also so far hitting zero sixty seven.
Speaker 2: You know, I just want people to know, wait, wait,
Speaker 2: wait zero.
Speaker 1: Runs, zero r by RBI or no Stone bases as well.
Speaker 1: There you go, floor short.
Speaker 2: I just want to point this out that, like I
Speaker 2: did some work on that. Joe does the show sheets always,
Speaker 2: but I've been kind of helping out and doing some stuff.
Speaker 2: I want you to know that I had put Joe
Speaker 2: took off, that the Diamondbacks had the biggest comeback of
Speaker 2: the season, came back down by blah blah blah beat
Speaker 2: the Cubs, incredible output. He took that off and then
Speaker 2: he put in that. Michael Harris went, oh for three.
Speaker 1: I just want you guys to know the same control
Speaker 1: that this it's not the same villain because one was
Speaker 1: in ups and one was in downs. And although that
Speaker 1: is very fun, I think at the same time you
Speaker 1: have to give the people more fantasy stuff, right, That's
Speaker 1: that's what you got to give him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: I'm just give a fantasy stuff. I was trying to
Speaker 1: find it. I think Vlad Seddler had it. There you go,
Speaker 1: Vlad did have it. I found it. So first games
Speaker 1: of the season for Bailey over twelve thirty six ERA
Speaker 1: two point one four whip. All other games three point
Speaker 1: four two, ERA point nine to eight whip. I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: this is your window, everybody, this is your window.
Speaker 2: Isn't it weird? There's these guys out there that like,
Speaker 2: you know, it's like what Simeon is a second half
Speaker 2: player and then you have these first It's just so weird,
Speaker 2: weird quotoriously Tyler O'Neill hits a homer on opening Day
Speaker 2: every year, Isn't it just weird?
Speaker 1: By the way, Tildoe bagans what happens if a player
Speaker 1: hits multiple homers, he get them all in one day.
Speaker 1: Till though, that's We've had a couple of questions about
Speaker 1: Mason Win. So let's get into Mason win bad. Start
Speaker 1: it low in the order. Are you freaking out?
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm freaking out? But am I concerned? Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's hitting at nine in the order. He's been kind
Speaker 2: of piss poor. He's got no potential to move up
Speaker 2: right now. So sure, if there's somebody, would I drop
Speaker 2: Mason Win for William Bray you, Yes, I would. I
Speaker 2: would do that if you're looking for middle infield help.
Speaker 2: So here's a prime example. This is a guy that
Speaker 2: I'm very interested in. I did a little thing on
Speaker 2: my itail Patreon of like different pickups under ten percent
Speaker 2: ownership right now is Jorge Polanco. The Mariners stink, but
Speaker 2: Jorge Polanco really looks like he's you know, he's the
Speaker 2: only guy that's consistently hitting. He's under ten percent owned
Speaker 2: on ESPN and and Yahoo. Would I drop Mason Win
Speaker 2: for Polanco? Maybe? Like, I think you should wait it
Speaker 2: out for Win. I you know, there's a good speed,
Speaker 2: good contact, But could you you could do, but let's
Speaker 2: wait until next week or the week after. But it
Speaker 2: is pretty bad. I mean, listen, there are guys. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to get most of the crazy, panic, freak out
Speaker 2: and lose your mind stuff out of my brain.
Speaker 1: At a Lopez or Polongo Lopez Planka very good to
Speaker 1: start these.
Speaker 2: I would go with Polonko, but yeah, Lopez has been
Speaker 2: good and hitting in a prime spot. But like what
Speaker 2: I freak out? Am I really freaking out about all
Speaker 2: these guys?
Speaker 1: Know?
Speaker 2: But am I a little concerned about Win? Yes? Am
Speaker 2: I little concerned about Cruise? Yes? Am I a little
Speaker 2: concerned about the guy we're about to talk about? Yeah?
Speaker 2: But nothing that is making me go ballistic right now.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to drop Bailey over and move him
Speaker 2: just because he gave up a bunch of runs on
Speaker 2: his first one. But you need you need to store
Speaker 2: it in the back of your mind of panic, but
Speaker 2: not freak out.
Speaker 1: I knew you were going to freak out when I
Speaker 1: took the dimeback stuff out. I knew. I knew you
Speaker 1: were going to mention it on the show live.
Speaker 2: I knew it's the biggest comeback of the season. They're
Speaker 2: down four on the eight.
Speaker 1: You brought it and and I knew you would get
Speaker 1: it in there anyway. I just I wanted more things
Speaker 1: in here in this section.
Speaker 2: It was smart, so smart.
Speaker 1: You can't have a down section without Raphael to Evers.
Speaker 1: Right now, Well, come send this guy one of those
Speaker 1: torpedo bats. He is zero for sixteen with twelve strikeouts.
Speaker 1: We were in a league where it's and if you're
Speaker 1: a league was strikeouts are hurting you. Of my god,
Speaker 1: he's killing you right now. The swing, by the way
Speaker 1: is down three miles per hour, which is also interesting
Speaker 1: to me. That says the bat speed being behind that
Speaker 1: shoulder still not strong.
Speaker 2: That's what that I was gonna say, Joe, your your
Speaker 2: connection's really rough there with your audio. Your audio is
Speaker 2: going out. But I think I think if everybody heard,
Speaker 2: it's what I was gonna say. Is the thing that's
Speaker 2: weird about Devers the most is the bat speed is down.
Speaker 2: I saw someone did a rolling chart on bat speed.
Speaker 2: We're down to some of the lowest numbers we've ever
Speaker 2: seen with him. So like a is he striking out
Speaker 2: a bunch? Like we could be like, oh well he
Speaker 2: got he has to go play DH And it's in
Speaker 2: his head a little bit, and you know, it's the
Speaker 2: beginning of the season. Like, we can mild some excuses
Speaker 2: for how bad this is because he's beenn incredible player,
Speaker 2: but then there's also some underlying stuff right now that
Speaker 2: speaks to a really bad story. I am concerned, but
Speaker 2: I don't know what to do because we last year.
Speaker 2: You want to talk about the year over year things.
Speaker 2: Remember how worried we were about Rafael Devers at the
Speaker 2: beginning of last year with the injury stuff in slow starts.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, you know, I don't. I don't think
Speaker 2: this is gonna make you and I breaking him down
Speaker 2: in a trade video to go and buy him or
Speaker 2: sell him. But I'm gonna keep a close SiGe on
Speaker 2: it because that is in absolutely insane. He's the only
Speaker 2: guy with twelve strikeouts in like sixteen at bad Like
Speaker 2: that's crazy, that's craziness.
Speaker 1: Am I back? Now? You are back?
Speaker 2: You sound right?
Speaker 1: So? Yeah, three miles per hour less, That's what I
Speaker 1: was trying to get to earlier when Welsh picked up
Speaker 1: the ball. Thank you Welsh, good job there, buddy. To me,
Speaker 1: it says the shoulder is not healthy. That's what it says.
Speaker 1: To me, uh, and he's not generating the same bat
Speaker 1: velocity and that's a problems.
Speaker 2: Could he pull Could he pull a James Harden though?
Speaker 2: Could he be wearing a fat suit playing bad? And
Speaker 2: then he gets traded and then all of a sudden, okay,
Speaker 2: Finny pounds lesson.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you this, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: put it past the Red Sox a deal because I
Speaker 1: think a lot of teams look at that contract. It's
Speaker 1: very team friendly when you can consider vlad Guerrero Junior.
Speaker 1: But he's going to get this offseason and you saw
Speaker 1: the Sodo contract. There's a lot of teams looking at
Speaker 1: Devers going, well, if you will dh or maybe we'll
Speaker 1: let them play third base because we don't care. You know,
Speaker 1: this opens up more money for them to sign Christian
Speaker 1: Campbell to a long term deal, to sign a Crochet
Speaker 1: to an extension, maybe Roman Anthony too, and continue to
Speaker 1: do all that. Man, that's a really good situation there,
Speaker 1: and and if Devers is going to pout and be
Speaker 1: a little you know what about it.
Speaker 3: Then so be it.
Speaker 2: So you know, let me throw this out here. When
Speaker 2: we're doing the prospects segment, we had moved actually the
Speaker 2: most important guy. And then when we kind of talked
Speaker 2: about him, I didn't I didn't get in to get
Speaker 2: what I wanted to get onto itim. But Roman Anthony
Speaker 2: was kind of number one on the list, just had
Speaker 2: a two homer game, you know, like huge hot start
Speaker 2: to the first couple games. He's going to push the
Speaker 2: envelope to this. He is on that list of those
Speaker 2: guys that you should be stashing, even if it looks
Speaker 2: like total blockage. But it's not out of the realm apossable.
Speaker 2: And I was saying, they're going to do this, and
Speaker 2: I think it's way overreactioning. But because of the team
Speaker 2: they have, it's not out of the realm of possibility
Speaker 2: that this team could move a Devers in a pitching
Speaker 2: heavy type of move, because they could then go and
Speaker 2: move will You're or bray you let's say to the
Speaker 2: DH or Roman Anthony and they can go play in
Speaker 2: the outfield. Maybe you don't lose a whole bunch. You
Speaker 2: don't want too many rookies, but if a Devers ended
Speaker 2: up getting you, I'm just throwing stuff out here. A
Speaker 2: Dylan ceest Sandy Al like, yeah, well, it could be
Speaker 2: a multi multi position Major League. But I don't think
Speaker 2: it's the realm of possibility that they would end up
Speaker 2: doing this and that they could improve their team and
Speaker 2: it would open up a spot for a guy like
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony. But that might be a more mid season move.
Speaker 2: I really don't think they do that. But we're just
Speaker 2: out here having fun speculat.
Speaker 1: I think he's not healthy and he's got booboo face
Speaker 1: about dhing. I think it's a terrible combination, and right
Speaker 1: now I agree with Welsh, it's tough to sell them.
Speaker 1: I think you could. I think you still get a
Speaker 1: lot for him if you want to. Will monitor it.
Speaker 2: In real life, in real life, not doing it in fantasy.
Speaker 1: In fantasy, I think I'm entertaining offers. If somebody wants
Speaker 1: to blow me away, I'm listening. Before we get to
Speaker 1: the injuries. Real quick. My playbook that's how you manage
Speaker 1: all of your fantasy baseball lineups and dominate all your leagues.
Speaker 1: Download my playbook now Fantasybros dot Com, slash MLB My Playbook,
Speaker 1: or just download the MLB My Playbook app wherever you
Speaker 1: get your apps from Custom Fantasy Baseball News for your
Speaker 1: team's rankings analysis. Everything's right there you could see the
Speaker 1: players on the waiver wire. And of course remember set
Speaker 1: all your lineups and all your different leagues and all
Speaker 1: your different sites in one spot with my playbook. Let's
Speaker 1: get to the injuries. Of course, Max Scherzer is hurt
Speaker 1: because well baseball is back thumb fifteen day IL, so
Speaker 1: back with the thumb issue. Josh Young goes in the
Speaker 1: ten day IL with next spasm. Spencer Streider allowed one
Speaker 1: run in three innings in his rehab start, so that's good.
Speaker 1: Things are going in the right direction for him. Brandon
Speaker 1: Woodruff is going to throw a simulated game this week too.
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on that. And also Colton Kowser
Speaker 1: to the IL as well. Hestin Kirstad. It is going
Speaker 1: to be starting today against the lefty Welsh. Get excited,
Speaker 1: so they.
Speaker 2: Gotta do you have all lefties in there? But yeah,
Speaker 2: Cowser got hurt. There is going to be more opportunities
Speaker 2: for kurst Out, which is pretty solid deeper leagues. Maybe
Speaker 2: it's a stash, but I feel like there's a lot
Speaker 2: of players like I would rather steal. Manzart like I'm big.
Speaker 2: We talked about the waivers earlier. Manzarto is kind of
Speaker 2: high up that list. I would take Torquosen, Manzarto and
Speaker 2: all them before, but maybe keep a lookout. Maybe he
Speaker 2: can hold a curse. I can hold a gig. Moving forward, all.
Speaker 1: Right, let's get to a couple questions. We're going to
Speaker 1: lightning around some questions here. Cookie drop Kerry Carpenter or
Speaker 1: Garrett Mitchell for Victor Scott.
Speaker 2: Yes, but if more specific, I would drop. I think
Speaker 2: Carpenter's just a monster platoon player. Maybe you don't like that.
Speaker 2: I'm cool with either one of them. I felt like
Speaker 2: my gut would be Garrett Mitchell because like I wanted
Speaker 2: him for stolen bases. But Victor Scott's gonna still fifty.
Speaker 1: So yes, fred Gini, Alfredo, great name. What do you
Speaker 1: think about job against the Mariners day in Seattle? Would
Speaker 1: you think about that?
Speaker 2: I'm okay, Yeah, I'm okay with it. Seattle's offense has
Speaker 2: been absolutely atrocious early on. I do worry about job
Speaker 2: throwing too many early strikes and stuff like that, but
Speaker 2: it's good stuff. I actually think it's a decent spot.
Speaker 1: Start Laker Saint Louis Scott or so Victor Scott or
Speaker 1: doing cruise.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I actually think this is close. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: stick with Cruise right now, because like if you drafted
Speaker 2: him as high as you did and then you cut
Speaker 2: him after three games, I don't know what to tell you,
Speaker 2: but Victor Scott is going to make this super close
Speaker 2: and it may look silly later, but I got a
Speaker 2: hold on a Cruise.
Speaker 1: Helio Ramos or James Wood.
Speaker 2: I'm James Wood.
Speaker 1: But hell, I don't know if it's like a today thing,
Speaker 1: like I mean, if you're talking about long term, we're
Speaker 1: not in the same universe here. What about Drew Rasmisen
Speaker 1: plug and play him today?
Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely, I agree.
Speaker 1: All right, that's two for two on there. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to some fun stuff, a little betting here.
Speaker 1: I got the best bets of the day, so does Welsh.
Speaker 1: And remember, if you want to place your bets, new
Speaker 1: customers can place their first bet over on FanDuel at
Speaker 1: five bucks, get two hundred dollars in bonus bets. So
Speaker 1: take one of these things and go win again. It's
Speaker 1: fantasypros dot Com slash leading off. That is where you
Speaker 1: go do again Fantasypros dot Com slash leading Off to
Speaker 1: get that new offer for FanDuel customers. I noticed something
Speaker 1: in the comeback play of the year odds yesterday and
Speaker 1: I bet them, and I bet another one this morning too,
Speaker 1: Jacob de Grams three to one in the American League.
Speaker 1: I think it's a good wager also American, excuse me,
Speaker 1: nationally comeback of a player of the year. You've got
Speaker 1: Ronald Acunya, Spencer Schreider, Ronalcunia plus two eighty right now,
Speaker 1: that's a phenomenal number you could put a couple units on,
Speaker 1: and then Spencer Stryder plus three eighty. So I'm just
Speaker 1: saying there's a futures market to be had right now,
Speaker 1: and those guys have not come back, so I would
Speaker 1: strongly recommend looking at that. My best bet of the
Speaker 1: day has to do with Christopher Sanchez. I know Welsh
Speaker 1: is in there too, but it really is the best
Speaker 1: bet of the day. I'm going over on FanDuel plus
Speaker 1: one twelve on the six and a half strikeouts. I'm
Speaker 1: also gonna pair it. I'm gonna bet that separately and
Speaker 1: then bet it along with the Phillies on the money
Speaker 1: line to win the game out right plus one forty four.
Speaker 1: How about Raffaeld Devers to record a hit under plus
Speaker 1: one sixty five point five. There you go, so under
Speaker 1: of the point five. So no more hits for Raffield
Speaker 1: Devers today plus one sixty five and let's continue to
Speaker 1: troll the cold guys. I'm gonna go unders here. I'm
Speaker 1: the new undertaker, Michael Harris. Total basis under point five
Speaker 1: plus money plus one oh five Welsh, what do you
Speaker 1: got for the people? I love that? All right?
Speaker 2: Well, my couple things in here. My bet sheet is drunk.
Speaker 2: We have the South Carolina game Cocks versus Cleveland that
Speaker 2: is supposed to be San Diego. And I like Sanchez's
Speaker 2: new name, but I think it's appropriate because I might
Speaker 2: be I might be a fade. I had one of
Speaker 2: the worst opening days I could have had. I actually
Speaker 2: had a good, solid Friday. Weekend was not great, our
Speaker 2: Saturday was not good. Again Sunday. I made one bet
Speaker 2: we want it. I am gotta pace myself, so I'm
Speaker 2: being very very selective. Bad start, But feel free to
Speaker 2: troll troll on the other side of me. You can.
Speaker 2: I can be your fade here. But I'm with you,
Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez at the bottom, I'm with you. I am, actually,
Speaker 2: but the only thing we're missing in here. That one.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you that one is wild.
Speaker 1: That one's not even like ague for our graph people
Speaker 1: who says the word sandwich, it's the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not total bait. I don'n't even know what
Speaker 2: that is.
Speaker 1: Okay, where Chris Well? I think it's Scandinavian. I want
Speaker 1: to say the jay is silent South African.
Speaker 2: You know what I might, I might buy myself out
Speaker 2: of his bet. It's so messed up. That is a
Speaker 2: bad sign. It's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: I didn't do well because I bet it too. So
Speaker 1: now if you get I gotta get out.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: No, But here's the difference. It's Christopher Sanchez six plus strikeouts.
Speaker 2: I don't know what total base is. Under point five
Speaker 2: is his number on A lot of books are six
Speaker 2: point five. I don't want to go to seven. I
Speaker 2: want six. I got six at minus one thirty five.
Speaker 2: So I went Christopher Sanchez six plus strikeouts. It was
Speaker 2: it was not minus money, it was minus one thirty five.
Speaker 2: So that one's crazy. He went around eighty mid innings. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there you go, that's what it is. He went around
Speaker 2: eighty and a half in his start last year. But Colorado.
Speaker 2: All three Tampa Bay starters have had seven or more
Speaker 2: strikeouts against. Liddell had seven, so I am one hundred
Speaker 2: percent on there. If you could take Christopher Sanchez total
Speaker 2: bases under, I would also do that. Ryan Nelson did
Speaker 2: get a hit as a pitcher, but it is six
Speaker 2: plus strikeouts at minus one thirty five. With that, I'm
Speaker 2: taking the Phillies run line minus one point five against Colorado.
Speaker 2: You've got a good BVP on like Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, solid,
Speaker 2: so I like that. And then I'm going with not
Speaker 2: South Carolina game Cocks, but San Diego Cleveland total runs over.
Speaker 2: It's a low number at eight, but you've got Kyle
Speaker 2: Hart and you've got Louis Ortiz. I know you don't
Speaker 2: care about spring. Both of them got them things lit
Speaker 2: in spring, and you have two big offenses right now.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: Obviously, if Ramirez is not in, that hurts a little bit,
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna go with the over eight runs in
Speaker 2: that game, Philly run line and Christopher Sanchez six plus.
Speaker 1: Yes, by the way, Ethan would have never let this happen.
Speaker 1: I just want to say, oh my god, it never happened.
Speaker 1: If Ethan was doing this. I love you, Kelly. We're
Speaker 1: just joking around, all right. Let's get to the home
Speaker 1: run calls of the day. Remember you can go to
Speaker 1: your discord and go make your home run calls at
Speaker 1: Fantasy Worlds dot com slash chat. It's where the cool
Speaker 1: kids are hanging out. Let's take a look at the
Speaker 1: home run board here, see how things are stacking up
Speaker 1: over the weekend. And look at that George is up
Speaker 1: to five. I can only assume he just went in.
Speaker 1: All the Yankees there Dj Osbourne at four, along with
Speaker 1: Razor and Wonkee Penguin. So that's the top of the board.
Speaker 1: The winner gets a Sammy Sosa autographed Commas jersey this year.
Speaker 1: I like the throwbacks. I think that's cool. All right,
Speaker 1: here's my pick for today. It's the one one in
Speaker 1: my heart. Jan Soto plus three eighty. Give me my
Speaker 1: boy to hit a home run today, get me on track.
Speaker 1: I like to give everybody a head start every year
Speaker 1: and then I start climbing up the rank. So two
Speaker 1: for one soda today would be great, but I'll settle
Speaker 1: for one. Welsh Where you going with your home run
Speaker 1: call for Monday?
Speaker 2: One toada made I did get a cruise missile. Last
Speaker 2: week shout out to O'Neil crue on the plus money
Speaker 2: total basis, and I got on the board, but I'm
Speaker 2: not on the physical board. I have one homer so
Speaker 2: far in the contest. I am going with said Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber really great BVP versus Herman Marquez. I just
Speaker 2: like the matchup, even it wasn't a great VVP writy
Speaker 2: picture there in Philly. I'm gonna go with Kyle Schwarber.
Speaker 2: If you're on fandel plus two forty on the homer,
Speaker 2: if you bet the homers, I need to get on
Speaker 2: that board. I really thought I might be able to
