Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, What is up? What is up? What
Speaker 1: is up? And welcome into leading off. I am the
Speaker 1: Welsh Chris Welsh, joined by Casey Bubba. Just to smedge early,
Speaker 1: Just to smidge early, Bubba. We are doing the show
Speaker 1: as far as the live stream goes. If you guys
Speaker 1: hang out with us on the YouTube, which you should,
Speaker 1: you absolutely should. Uh the Fantasy Pro's MLB channel. Make
Speaker 1: sure you are following and you get notified whenever we
Speaker 1: go live. Why are we going early, Bubba, because I'm
Speaker 1: going to be scooting off and hopefully not making Corbyn
Speaker 1: Carroll uncomfortable, my favorite player in MLB with the jersey
Speaker 1: on there, because I'm going to be going and securing
Speaker 1: the Corbyn Carroll helmet for the home run contest and
Speaker 1: just hanging out for a little bit, Bubba. No big
Speaker 1: deal or anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no big deal. When you text me
Speaker 2: about this last week, I'm like, yeah, I guess I can.
Speaker 2: I can change my schedules so you can go hang
Speaker 2: out with Corbyn Carrol. So yeah, yeah, we're all good there.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Oh do I have an echo? Donnie? You hear?
Speaker 1: Does anybody else hear?
Speaker 2: Echo? I do not hear an echo.
Speaker 1: I also do not hear an echo. But let me
Speaker 1: know if you guys are hearing anything weird, and I
Speaker 1: will probably just sit here with my hands out during
Speaker 1: a live show that I don't think I can. Let's see,
Speaker 1: maybe that's you, Donnie. I don't know if anybody else
Speaker 1: is doing that. Put on socks, Welsh, don't scare him, Michael,
Speaker 1: that is actually so funny, because I if you love sandals,
Speaker 1: I'm one hundred percent putting on socks in my very
Speaker 1: very nice Nike shoes. So I because I don't want
Speaker 1: to freak people out. I have freaky feet. I have
Speaker 1: huge feet. I have that is fourteen bubo, So I
Speaker 1: have big feet and they're just weird weird toes and
Speaker 1: feeder gross feeder disgustings.
Speaker 2: I'm a thirteen wide So we got something going here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, we're back to the socks real quick.
Speaker 1: This is very important thing. What is is it sock
Speaker 1: sock shoe shoe or sock shoe sock.
Speaker 2: Shoe, sock sock shoe shoe.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I don't think I don't remember. If I'm
Speaker 1: I think I'm kind of indifferent of it. I think
Speaker 1: I am sock shoe sock shoe though, Like it's fine.
Speaker 1: As long as you're not trying to do shoe sock,
Speaker 1: then I think you'll be Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we've
Speaker 1: got a whole bunch of stuff to talk about. Thank
Speaker 1: you guys for hanging out out here a little bit
Speaker 1: early with us. Bubba has put the SmackDown, similar to
Speaker 1: a certain Guardians player did a White Sox player to
Speaker 1: his internet company, because Bubba, you were internet lists. What
Speaker 1: did you do for twenty four hours? Bubba had no
Speaker 1: internet for twenty four hours? You were living in the
Speaker 1: stone Age? What did you do?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I already live out in the sticks, so without
Speaker 2: the internet, the phones don't really work either. So it's
Speaker 2: say it's a rough go. So we went to the
Speaker 2: local establishment for the evening, had some times there and
Speaker 2: actually read part of a book. Well I don't do
Speaker 2: that very often, but yeah, but I might as well
Speaker 2: lit a candle like I was in the Stone Age.
Speaker 2: I'd read a book, but I still had power. It was.
Speaker 2: It was a rough go, very very rough go.
Speaker 1: On Friday, Bubba's out there making drawings like this bicycle
Speaker 1: could have wings and I could be rich and I
Speaker 1: could fly.
Speaker 2: I re enacted what was gonna have up and the
Speaker 2: next night in Cleveland on the wall and it worked out.
Speaker 1: So all right, so let's get into the stuff and things.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to you about a lot of the
Speaker 1: performances over the weekend. We've got your Prize Picks going
Speaker 1: in here because leading Off is brought to you by
Speaker 1: Prize Picks. You guys know that used that promo code
Speaker 1: leading Off, which will tell you about here in just
Speaker 1: a little bit. But Tim Anderson got knocked into the multiverse.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that scene if anybody watched Doctor Strange
Speaker 1: Multiverse of Madness, where like Wanda was able to transform
Speaker 1: her body into another multiverse. Wanda like that multiverse. Tim
Speaker 1: Anderson felt that knock that JOSEU Jose Ramirez did on
Speaker 1: him over the weekend, big old brawl. Do you see
Speaker 1: the comments by Jose Ramirez two by the way, that
Speaker 1: like it was stemming from the disrespect of the game.
Speaker 1: I mean, Tim Anderson, if you don't know, is relatively disrespectful,
Speaker 1: you know, like in life, like having a second family
Speaker 1: against his first family and stuff like that. But also
Speaker 1: I guess baseball, and it was I think this was
Speaker 1: just like the straw that broke the camels.
Speaker 2: That was the accumulation of apparently a lot of stuff
Speaker 2: that we haven't been privy to. Between these two.
Speaker 1: We came and like and dude, Tim got up and
Speaker 1: he just like he was ready. He's like, let's go
Speaker 1: without hesitation. And you know, as would be said from Friday, man,
Speaker 1: you got knocked out. He got knocked out, and he
Speaker 1: was stumbling and all bumbly down there, and it came
Speaker 1: out that they're both going to be serving a multi
Speaker 1: game suspension. I'm going to present something to everybody real quick.
Speaker 1: It might scare you because, as you know, Joe has
Speaker 1: talked about the AI initiative that goes on at Fantasy pros. Now,
Speaker 1: the only mistake I made here was I didn't get
Speaker 1: this to Ethan so we could have proper sizes. But
Speaker 1: you're going to have to follow me. But I went
Speaker 1: into the Fantasy pros AI bought and I said, reenact
Speaker 1: me an image of Tim Anderson and Jose Ramirez fighting AI.
Speaker 1: And these are the images. It's gonna be bad audio,
Speaker 1: but we can kind of try to represent them. This
Speaker 1: is the let's see, this is the first one here,
Speaker 1: So you got we're gonna get naked here, bubba, So
Speaker 1: everybody on the side, you're gonna get a little bit naked.
Speaker 1: So there you go. There's the first one. The scariest
Speaker 1: part is their arms have armed into each other for AI.
Speaker 1: If you zoom in there, their arms are arming into
Speaker 1: each other. But this is the first image that it
Speaker 1: came out with, pretty generic. I don't know what that
Speaker 1: symbol is. Looks like a butterfly on Jose. I'm assuming
Speaker 1: the right is Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming so yes, because he's the one that looks
Speaker 2: like he's landing the arm into the arm punch exactly.
Speaker 1: Now, this is the scarier one. This is AI version
Speaker 1: two if you want to have nightmares. And this is
Speaker 1: oh no, no, oh no Ramirez. This turned away from
Speaker 1: the Jake Paul Nate Diaz fight and this turned into MMA.
Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez's leg is melting into Tim Anderson somehow, and
Speaker 1: they're grabbing onto each other, and they're also off the
Speaker 1: ground too and Tim.
Speaker 2: It's straight up is multiverse. Now we are watching the
Speaker 2: new new Doctor Strange in front of us.
Speaker 1: I feel like this one is definitely in like like
Speaker 1: Earth six one six This is definitely Tim Anderson and
Speaker 1: they're just melting into each other. And this was AI's
Speaker 1: that was AI's take on on the fight.
Speaker 2: So any other thoughts and people that think AI is
Speaker 2: gonna take over the world, that just shows you it's not.
Speaker 2: So we are good there, but thoughts where I don't like,
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not a fan of like let's have
Speaker 2: fights everywhere, but hey, if you're gonna fight, make it happen.
Speaker 2: And that was amazing, Like I had a tweet. I
Speaker 2: just kept watching it gets hurt during the fight, which
Speaker 2: is just tippic.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I saw that, like like he was
Speaker 1: like limping off. There's a there's a backspan video and
Speaker 1: everyone's doing stuff and all you see in the top
Speaker 1: right is Eloy on one leg limping out and you're like,
Speaker 1: come on, man.
Speaker 2: But one of my biggest takeaways, and I'm also kind
Speaker 2: of biased because I love this player, but Josh Naylor's
Speaker 2: out three to six weeks and oblique injury. He was
Speaker 2: the first one in there with his arm cocked right
Speaker 2: to go. If Tim Anderson somehow popped up, I'm like,
Speaker 2: how in the world that's the guy I want in
Speaker 2: my corner? That's all I'll tell you.
Speaker 1: I will tell you what though, it was pretty amazing
Speaker 1: to see like a moment too where I think like
Speaker 1: mel was a the yump just like moved away, you
Speaker 1: know how they like everybody gets very serious. The ump
Speaker 1: was just like he moved out like it was a
Speaker 1: hockey fight, and those two had about four seconds where
Speaker 1: it was just both of them, got a couple of swings,
Speaker 1: people grabbed them, and then Jose Ramirez got the shot
Speaker 1: heard around the world and Tim Anderson, like I said,
Speaker 1: it's to a really imform of Tim also took to
Speaker 1: Twitter and then deleted all of his tweets because they
Speaker 1: had the feelings and stuff too. Yeah, it was a
Speaker 1: very very weird situation. All of this to kind of
Speaker 1: come back around and say, the disaster from a fantasy
Speaker 1: perspective that Tim Anderson has been this year, I think
Speaker 1: it is exacerbated and I think you could legit justify
Speaker 1: just making moves elsewhere. I don't know. Obviously this can
Speaker 1: motivate players and stuff like that, but between the suspension
Speaker 1: and some of the chaos that's going on, I'm just
Speaker 1: not sure that you need to stick around, especially with
Speaker 1: some of the you're gonna get a lot of call ups.
Speaker 1: They are gonna be coming up soon, especially in September.
Speaker 1: That I mean, I haven't looked Have you looked at
Speaker 1: Tim Anderson's numbers lately?
Speaker 2: He has one home run, he's been knocked out as
Speaker 2: much as he's gone deep.
Speaker 1: It's been great, taking as many punches as he has homers.
Speaker 1: But like, let's see overall stature real quick, if we
Speaker 1: could move.
Speaker 2: On, okay, average not stealing a bunch like it's just blah,
Speaker 2: he's blas blocked, Like, yeah, Schneider's better than.
Speaker 1: Him, two forty four highest strike up percent. Well it's
Speaker 1: not that high, but it's twenty one percent one Homer
Speaker 1: nineteen RBI. Yeah, he can cut bait, man, you can
Speaker 1: get cut bait. You can cut bait for sure. We
Speaker 1: do need to see an Odor versus Jose Ramirez in
Speaker 1: the future.
Speaker 2: You know that'll that'll happen. You know the celebrity boxing
Speaker 2: some I guarantee you a door, need some cash so
Speaker 2: that this will happen.
Speaker 1: Remember the what was it Select the Clay Fighters?
Speaker 2: What was that was the best dude on MTV? What
Speaker 2: was what was that Celebrity deathmatch?
Speaker 1: Celebrity death it was right. Yeah, that was amazing. We
Speaker 1: need a baseball version.
Speaker 2: You need to bring that back, period, just in general.
Speaker 2: Just bring that back, please. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We just need someone like really talented with that type
Speaker 1: a skill, you know, that can go out there and
Speaker 1: that can like put them together and just do baseball
Speaker 1: versions because we don't want this like this is this
Speaker 1: is horrifying. His leg Yeah, and his leg is like broke.
Speaker 1: It almost looks like a deer like Hosier Ramirez turned
Speaker 1: into a deer in their arms.
Speaker 2: It looks like he's got a wooden pirate leg trying
Speaker 2: to kick him in the stomach.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's weird. Like and the the reason that you
Speaker 1: know it's a I too is Tim Anderson looks like
Speaker 1: he's actually getting a punch in so he I don't
Speaker 1: think that's a very realistic. So that was the big
Speaker 1: fun from the weekend fantasy implications. I think just reminded
Speaker 1: me of like Tim Anderson is kind of how about
Speaker 1: this brought in for a one run lead in the ninth. Finally,
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks Paul Seawald gives up the tying and walk off
Speaker 1: homers in the Twins on Sunday did not retire a
Speaker 1: batter gave up three runs. By the way, the Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: gave up three pieces to lose all of their games
Speaker 1: and a pretty shaky start here. Paul Seawald actually went
Speaker 1: from like a good closer to now there are no
Speaker 1: opportunities because they the diame actually bad. He it is
Speaker 1: rubbed off on him and they never have save opportunities.
Speaker 2: Bubba.
Speaker 1: So Paul Seawall the kind of a disaster right now
Speaker 1: looks hilariously stupid. People are apologizing about making any tweets
Speaker 1: to me this weekend too, because of how painful it
Speaker 1: was to look at.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that was a rough appearance for the save,
Speaker 2: one would say for Seawall. They only played five games
Speaker 2: this week, so it even makes it like do we
Speaker 2: even start Seawall in a in a weekly league? Dbacks?
Speaker 2: You don't tell you, you know, it's it's gotta it's
Speaker 2: time to you know, esk your get off the pot
Speaker 2: here pretty quick. So and see why it's supposed to
Speaker 2: be the guy that made it happen. It's it's not good,
Speaker 2: not good, bob.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm trying to look I didn't look ahead
Speaker 1: of they got the Dodgers. You know what I would
Speaker 1: I don't think I would start him in a weekly
Speaker 1: that's crazy.
Speaker 2: My weekly leagues, I benched him.
Speaker 1: H Yeah, unless you're in a situation where it's like
Speaker 1: that's your RP and you don't have any other good options,
Speaker 1: which is very likely, then you can. But if you
Speaker 1: have options, I don't want. I don't know who the
Speaker 1: back half of the week is. I guess it could
Speaker 1: look like Friday because he's got the Dodgers up early,
Speaker 1: so that should be zero opportunities, or even better, they'll
Speaker 1: throw him in an opportunity that's not a safe situation
Speaker 1: and then they got the Padres. That's an awful week
Speaker 1: for the Diamondbacks. That might win one game.
Speaker 2: Rough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there's not gonna be a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 1: So it's looking pretty bad there.
Speaker 2: C j.
Speaker 1: Abrams this weekend in electric that's how rode a World
Speaker 1: even put it four for five homer, two steals, Sunday's
Speaker 1: win since July started. Coming into Sunday a three to
Speaker 1: zero two batting average with three homer sixteen steals in
Speaker 1: twenty nine games, which is bonkers. I ask you how
Speaker 1: far up has CJ. Abrams brought his value? Because it's
Speaker 1: like a it's a no brainer that you know he's
Speaker 1: the guy. You start him, you feel great weekly leagues,
Speaker 1: you don't even think twice about it. But I think
Speaker 1: his value has like exponentially changed with the turnover he's
Speaker 1: had in production.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been tremendous. We knew the speed was there.
Speaker 2: I was talking about in preseason as a guy that
Speaker 2: I liked as a value just because he's finally on
Speaker 2: a team that's gonna let him play every day. They
Speaker 2: have no reason not to play him. He's still like
Speaker 2: what twenty two or something. Yeah, we're trying to write
Speaker 2: him off because of a bad kind of couple short
Speaker 2: stints in San Diego. He's starting to show his talent.
Speaker 2: He's getting comfortable. I think the power's better than we
Speaker 2: thought it would be, at least for me. You're the
Speaker 2: prospect guy. Maybe I'm wrong there, but the speed was legit.
Speaker 2: The Nats're also playing better, which is helping the run
Speaker 2: production a ton. I think they're playing better than people
Speaker 2: to think, So I'm a big fantasy j Abrams. I
Speaker 2: think he moves into that tyros strata discussion next year
Speaker 2: where we kind of had it this past year, whereas
Speaker 2: he worth like a top you know, one to one
Speaker 2: twenty pick. He might even keeps doing this. He might
Speaker 2: be like a seventy five to one hundred pick just
Speaker 2: because I.
Speaker 1: Think he's I think he's a top seventy five pick.
Speaker 1: He's going to go fifteen thirty this year. The barrel
Speaker 1: percentage is tripled and he's moving.
Speaker 2: Talking Boba shed at that pace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well no, I mean statistically that would actually be
Speaker 1: a funny, like you know, old school IL player debates,
Speaker 1: go back and look, but you know that four percent
Speaker 1: range is kind of that, like what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: But he's got it up to six. He's got a
Speaker 1: MAXIV of one twelve, just you know, showing the ability
Speaker 1: to tap into it. Launch angle's gone up, the hard
Speaker 1: hit has gone up. He just looks good, he looks solid.
Speaker 1: I think it's a big change. This guy would love
Speaker 1: to trade for going into next year. Just I know
Speaker 1: it's a little dependent because it's tough. Because he's hot
Speaker 1: right now. I would love to get him going into
Speaker 1: next season, especially if I am a rebuilding team, I
Speaker 1: would be willing to sell out a little bit more.
Speaker 1: Some of you guys play in like contract leagues. If
Speaker 1: someone's trying to go all in. I got my autmo league,
Speaker 1: I have ze J Abrams, so a super smart draft
Speaker 1: of this year. I got everybody in every trade trying
Speaker 1: to send me, trying to get Abrams. But like you know,
Speaker 1: can I take on a forty eight dollars one sodo
Speaker 1: that I won't keep to go for it to trade
Speaker 1: my Abrams right now? Who's two bucks? No? I can't.
Speaker 2: And I got a chance.
Speaker 1: No, and I can't pull the trigger on that one.
Speaker 1: Gary Sanchez a couple homers over the weekend, had one
Speaker 1: I think on Sunday, two on Friday. Now's five homers
Speaker 1: over the last week, including three this weekend. Fifteen homers
Speaker 1: since May thirty, first most of any primary catcher and
Speaker 1: tied for six most of any catcher. Just in general,
Speaker 1: the average absolutely stinks. Your thoughts do you think? I mean,
Speaker 1: the power is there, but the batting average is absolutely sink.
Speaker 1: Rest of season comfortable top twelve catcher, no doubt or
Speaker 1: is there question?
Speaker 2: There's always question with Gary Sanchez. I'll say that much
Speaker 2: just to be open and honest about it. But I
Speaker 2: think he could be because because of the power production
Speaker 2: that he's providing. We always know he's an average Sinkle.
Speaker 2: We know that for a fact. The only reason why
Speaker 2: I say maybe is, you know, just perusing the waiver
Speaker 2: wire for stuff. This past weekend you got Freddy Furman
Speaker 2: from Kannasy's playing great camp be Sinos not bad. So
Speaker 2: it just depends on how that playing time shakes out
Speaker 2: in San Diego. There's a slew of catchers that are
Speaker 2: available out there that can make a push in the
Speaker 2: last two months. But for Gary, i'd say top twelve.
Speaker 2: I think it's very very in play for him, it's
Speaker 2: right there.
Speaker 1: We talked about it on CBS last week, was like
Speaker 1: Yan your diez like I would like to. I think
Speaker 1: the key thing I would point back out is when
Speaker 1: you're on that back half of the catchers. I think
Speaker 1: in most like standard leagues, there's enough guys that are
Speaker 1: this big mush. They're all the same that you could
Speaker 1: write a hot hand. So if you want the homer
Speaker 1: chase is a great Yan here, and I think you
Speaker 1: can chase for average. If they lose it, you just
Speaker 1: go pick up the next guy. B t or I'm
Speaker 1: sorry E week asked Sanchez or cal Rally.
Speaker 2: No, you take oh, you take cayl Rawley. For me,
Speaker 2: just because the biggest thing is you're locked in his
Speaker 2: playing time, where Sanchez still could split a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Uripra is going to return to the Marlin starting
Speaker 1: rotation here on Monday against the Reds. So far this
Speaker 1: season it's been great. Two three sixty one point zero
Speaker 1: nine whip and eleven starts. He's an absolute must start
Speaker 1: rested season. There's really no analysis to go through. You
Speaker 1: just got to get him out there. I would be
Speaker 1: trying to get plays. Actually, a betting play we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about here in a little bit is on him.
Speaker 1: And Chris Saale fired off four and one third scoreless
Speaker 1: innings in a rehab start on TRIPAA, which is great.
Speaker 1: This was on Sunday, struck out seven walk none, allowed
Speaker 1: three hits over fifty three pitches, and he is eligible
Speaker 1: to return on Thursday. So the question is, Bubba, we
Speaker 1: could obviously talk about it on Wednesday. I'll ask you
Speaker 1: right now, are you comfortable, especially in a weekly league,
Speaker 1: you'd have to throw him out right now? Would you
Speaker 1: be throwing him out? You're gonna wait it out for uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's starting these guys like off of injury
Speaker 1: is kind of black.
Speaker 2: It is very tricky coming up injuries. But most of
Speaker 2: your teams are handling a lot of injuries right now.
Speaker 2: So if you have a better option, yeah, you can
Speaker 2: wait on Sale. But I'd probably be I'm like eighty
Speaker 2: percent leaning starting Sales.
Speaker 1: Put it that way, like, would you start Brandon Fott,
Speaker 1: who's probably gonna have the Dodgers or Chris Sale?
Speaker 2: That's a good one. That's why you do this for
Speaker 2: a living. I'll take Sale.
Speaker 1: What's a matchup? Who are they playing?
Speaker 2: I can find that out for you here real quick. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if he.
Speaker 1: Goes Thursday, if he if he comes off the il
Speaker 1: on Thursday, that would put him up against the Royals.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why you take You kind of
Speaker 2: take that one.
Speaker 1: It looks like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would bench.
Speaker 1: I would bench fought in this garbage week for a guy.
Speaker 2: It's a great It's great because I have fought going
Speaker 2: in a lot of places, So that's a I just
Speaker 2: don't have Sale. But that's a very very interesting deal.
Speaker 2: Like Road to Wire has their daily pitching matchups, He's
Speaker 2: not even on the list yet because it's still up
Speaker 2: in the air, so it's a tough That's the other
Speaker 2: part is like what if for some reason like, oh no,
Speaker 2: we're gonna like wait a little bit longer than you
Speaker 2: don't even get to use him this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, which would be black. Yeah, that's a possibility. That's
Speaker 1: a danger that you've got here, a little rookie lookie action.
Speaker 1: Davis Snyder continued a strong, strong debut, going four for
Speaker 1: five with a homer for RBI on Sunday against Boston.
Speaker 1: Twenty four year old now over three games six ninety
Speaker 1: two with two homers, he was hitting two seventy five
Speaker 1: in triple A. He had twenty one homers and nine
Speaker 1: steals in eighty one games. I messy, I did it man.
Speaker 1: People Like someone asked me Rick right off the bed, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up with this David Snyder. I'm like, don't worry
Speaker 1: about it, yeah, because he's kind of like a triple
Speaker 1: A ish decent season, but I'm not going nuts about
Speaker 1: and he's absolutely gone bonker so much so. This was
Speaker 1: from Sarah Lang's Davis Snyder's nine hits are tied with
Speaker 1: Cocher triplet from nineteen thirty eight for the most in
Speaker 1: a player's first three game three career games since nineteen
Speaker 1: oh one, So little bit of business going on here,
Speaker 1: it's obviously going to offer him more playing time. So
Speaker 1: right here, Anthony had asked Jake Bowers tonight who to
Speaker 1: pick up or put a waiver claim in for Snyder
Speaker 1: for Tuesday. So maybe this will kind of set the
Speaker 1: stage here, is really a Snyder someone of interest for you?
Speaker 2: Well? I picked him up everywhere because I need middle
Speaker 2: infield help in most of my leagues, so I grab
Speaker 2: Schneider everywhere I could, and looking through NFBC last night,
Speaker 2: the bids were all over the board, so it just
Speaker 2: depended on your league. But I'm of interest. I'm not
Speaker 2: naive and thinking he's hit six ninety two the entire season,
Speaker 2: but you know twenty one Homer's nine steals in the
Speaker 2: miners and they're going to play them every day with
Speaker 2: Whipmryfield going the left. I'll take my chances on Schneider.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, this is the type of year. The big
Speaker 1: thing I can tell you. So if there are clear
Speaker 1: guys that you would move, use the hot hands. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't hot hands. Yeah, I don't think David Snyder
Speaker 1: long term is going to be like a thing. I
Speaker 1: could be completely wrong, but if you have got these
Speaker 1: big empty holes here go and fill it right now,
Speaker 1: because this is the time of year where you just
Speaker 1: got to have like a quicker uh you know, a
Speaker 1: quicker quicker to the gun is what you would be.
Speaker 1: Just boom boom boom. Cut this guy, okay, you know,
Speaker 1: just be able to move through these players a little
Speaker 1: bit more, especially in redraft. Here a couple of these
Speaker 1: rangers are expected to promote Jonathan Ornellis from Triple A
Speaker 1: Round Rock after Josh Young suffered a fractured thumb on Sunday.
Speaker 1: He's going to miss some time hitting two fifty five homers.
Speaker 1: I've seen Ornellis for years and years and years. He
Speaker 1: can play lots of different positions, so it'll it'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see how much playing time they give him.
Speaker 1: I kind of would put this, yeah, quick trigger, thank
Speaker 1: you for That's what I was trying to say, Like,
Speaker 1: I think this is kind of in the David Schneider range.
Speaker 1: You know, Ornella said, they has a little bit maybe
Speaker 1: even a little bit more pop, So you can keep
Speaker 1: an eye on it. But I'm not jumping to the
Speaker 1: wire like Michael as this Snyder and Neople, I mean
Speaker 1: New Baro. If Newpar's had a top ten War over
Speaker 1: the last thirty days. It's easily a new start bar yeah.
Speaker 2: Percent.
Speaker 1: And also zach Keloff three for four this weekend with
Speaker 1: a double two run scored, hitting two sixty with five homers,
Speaker 1: eight rbi and six stolen bases and under twenty games
Speaker 1: played so far in the majors. That's a guy I
Speaker 1: have more interest in than Ornellis or David Snyder is
Speaker 1: zach Keloff, So if he's sitting out there, I'd be
Speaker 1: looking other injuries. Joe Musgrove right shoulder inflammation, gonna be
Speaker 1: shut down for three weeks. Ye stop me if you've
Speaker 1: heard this before. Fyron Buckston is back on the eel.
Speaker 1: Jake Freeley going to the iowhere they fractured toe. I
Speaker 1: feel that Josh Naylor with an oblique injury going to
Speaker 1: be out three to six weeks, even though you said
Speaker 1: he was out there trying to get some punches in. Dude,
Speaker 1: just like wham wham, Like what are we doing? Man?
Speaker 1: Carlos for Dawn left his Sunday start with hamstring tightness.
Speaker 1: That's not good. Tyler Glastna was scratched from Sunday with backspasms,
Speaker 1: though they did say that they feel confident he'll be
Speaker 1: able to like lock back into his next start. And
Speaker 1: I think we are setting up for the worst of
Speaker 1: worst news. Yes, say McClanahan, meeting with teams specialists for
Speaker 1: a second opinion on his forearm tightness. He's flying out
Speaker 1: to California. Now. I don't want to be an alarmist,
Speaker 1: but this is going to be a bad injury. His
Speaker 1: season's done in my mind, and I think next season
Speaker 1: is in question with going for a second literally eighty
Speaker 1: five percent. It's always bad second opinion. The second opinion
Speaker 1: always equates too bad.
Speaker 2: This whole thing's been bad. He had the first MRI
Speaker 2: and the rage like we have our diagnosis. He's going
Speaker 2: back to Florida for testing. Now he's going to California.
Speaker 2: When you need this many tests, No, not a good thing.
Speaker 1: No, it's bad. It's really bad. I'm if it's not great,
Speaker 1: But you know what, tag.
Speaker 2: Me at me, just brace for the worst. Right now,
Speaker 2: that's all we're saying.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna poke Eno too, to like talk with.
Speaker 1: I dig into the rais thing, the raised injury in
Speaker 1: glass now and springs and ras Mussen and now there's
Speaker 1: got to be something there well, I've been saying.
Speaker 2: One thing that makes me curious is they've, like they
Speaker 2: said it forever, they have like an eighty pitch limit
Speaker 2: on their staff outside of McClanahan and all these guys,
Speaker 2: Like are they just going as hard as they can
Speaker 2: for eighty pitches? And maybe that's the problem, Like what
Speaker 2: are we doing here?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I don't know. I mean we did see that
Speaker 1: when McClanahan got hurt, he had added like two miles
Speaker 1: an hour velo on his slider, so that could be
Speaker 1: something with it. I don't know what it is. There's
Speaker 1: something in the air there, and I don't like it whatsoever.
Speaker 1: This was I'd put this in our Joe's Tough Guys
Speaker 1: Wels is just ken section, but just throwing it out there,
Speaker 1: I thought this was great. Tray Turner, who has been
Speaker 1: hitting sub two forty does have eleven homers and twenty
Speaker 1: one stolen bases, I will point out is being outproduced
Speaker 1: in fantasy by CJ. Abrams has twenty seven stolen bases.
Speaker 1: I think the same amount of homers. But it's been
Speaker 1: a bad it's been a bad go for trade Turner.
Speaker 1: This weekend, he picked it back up, had four hits,
Speaker 1: he had a homer on Saturday four RBI the coolest
Speaker 1: thing about it, and I wish I could have pulled
Speaker 1: the art for it. But the crowd like just cheered him.
Speaker 1: The most anti Philly thing you ever see. He's always
Speaker 1: like throwing batteries at people and they're just like they're
Speaker 1: just awful. And they got and rallied behind Trey Turner.
Speaker 1: He hits a home or everyone freaks out. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw this. Trey Turner then took out
Speaker 1: a billboard in Philly just saying thank you Philly with
Speaker 1: him on it, and that was pretty cool. That was
Speaker 1: like kind of a cool thing for I like when
Speaker 1: players connect that much.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The last thing we had with a player in Philly
Speaker 1: was Alec Bohm being like, I ever hate this place,
Speaker 1: and Trey Turner's out there going pushing through and buying billboards,
Speaker 1: you know, to TELP people. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the Philly fans are gonna love Trey obviously,
Speaker 2: and you know you're one of a big contract. Don't
Speaker 2: be shocked if you're teasing pretty good for Trey. That's
Speaker 2: all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: So just enjoy it, people, Yeah, Dan said by the way.
Speaker 1: It sucks because he wanted to drop Charlie Morton. But
Speaker 1: you need to replace McClanahan too. Yeah, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if you have McLanahan hold tight on everything unless there's
Speaker 1: a really good arm out there and you can try
Speaker 1: to make the move. But because you're gonna be making
Speaker 1: some move soon unfortunately, which is me too. Three up
Speaker 1: and three down, Chase sil Seth went struck out twelve,
Speaker 1: give up tour and runs. I'm also gonna put in
Speaker 1: the other guy, Bryce Miller, same game, went five, struck
Speaker 1: out ten, twenty two strikeouts. But check this out of
Speaker 1: a forty three swinging strikes between these two players in
Speaker 1: this game. Twenty one from Silseth, twenty two from Bryce Miller.
Speaker 1: May I present to you, if you are about to
Speaker 1: lose or own Shane McClanahan, go pick up Shane or
Speaker 1: Chase Silseth right now. That would be someone I would
Speaker 1: take a look at. Strikeouts are getting up, putting up
Speaker 1: some deeper performances. But what say you about sil Seth?
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a decent option.
Speaker 2: I absolutely love Silseth. He's changed his pitch mix over
Speaker 2: his last three starts. He has like twenty six k's
Speaker 2: over nineteen innings or something like that. The dude's been
Speaker 2: ridiculous the thing. I was even tweeting about it on
Speaker 2: Sunday after his performance, I said, how can the Angels
Speaker 2: have a six man rotation not have him locked into
Speaker 2: the rotation. He's like filling in for Canyon and Canny's
Speaker 2: supposed to be back, so he's technically doesn't even a
Speaker 2: start this weekendunless they start moving pieces, which I hope
Speaker 2: they do because he's that darn good. So I would
Speaker 2: get so set in a hurry if I was young.
Speaker 2: I'm one hundred percent with you on that one.
Speaker 1: I would, especially if I'm in this situation with with
Speaker 1: Shane McClanahan. This is one he has got a better
Speaker 1: expected RA than his three seven to two, which is
Speaker 1: very positive. His strikeouts are pushing thirty percent at twenty seven. Good,
Speaker 1: He's stacking good performances. This is a guy that I would,
Speaker 1: regardless if I had McLanahan issue or not, I would
Speaker 1: pick him up.
Speaker 2: He should be one of your top priorities for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he really should. Bryce Miller, like I said,
Speaker 1: also pretty great. Jake Myers two homers, six RBI on
Speaker 1: the down, Riley Green zero for five with four strikeouts,
Speaker 1: Good Old Dick Mountain three and one third six, Eurn
Speaker 1: run for Rich television. Not great. Yeah, you can't do
Speaker 1: They can't show that on television. And Chris Murphy two
Speaker 1: and one third six, Earn runs some no bointo performances
Speaker 1: on the down. But we can get through it. How
Speaker 1: can we get through it with our buddies over at
Speaker 1: price Picks. That's right, Price Picks, because that is who
Speaker 1: is sponsoring Leading Off. Use a promo code leading Off,
Speaker 1: get a one hundred percent matchup to one hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: You guys can play in all of their awesome things
Speaker 1: that we play right here, two, three, four or five.
Speaker 1: Stack them up however you want to do it. You're
Speaker 1: getting player performances to win big bucks. They've got their
Speaker 1: awesome what was it the hot dog? I think it's
Speaker 1: like the Taco things where they bring down the stats.
Speaker 1: We've been doing it all season. It's never too late.
Speaker 1: It's a great way to continue the fantasy fun even
Speaker 1: if you're in the playoffs or something like that. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're kind of getting out, you're trying to get going.
Speaker 1: You want to you want to keep locked in. It's
Speaker 1: always something I would suggest to everybody for fantasy, as
Speaker 1: hard as it is, sometimes keep locked in so you
Speaker 1: don't lose track of the players. A great way to
Speaker 1: do that is with prize picks. So, Bubba, what do
Speaker 1: you got going today for your prize picks?
Speaker 2: Drew Smiley over four and a half k's. He might
Speaker 2: come up as the bulk reliever, which makes it a
Speaker 2: little more interesting, but he he gives up runs in bunches,
Speaker 2: but strikes out a ton as well, and the Mets
Speaker 2: are striking out almost twenty seven percent vers lefties of late.
Speaker 2: So Smiley keep wrong with Christian Yelich over eight and
Speaker 2: a half Fantasy points, go going up in a great today,
Speaker 2: and then the Braves are going to go to town
Speaker 2: against the Valdobido. Give me medals and over nine Fantasy points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So for my I actually went with like
Speaker 1: all pitchers. I decided to do an all pitcher Fantasy
Speaker 1: score play this week because I like these three. I
Speaker 1: went Dane Dunning thirty three and a half. Dan Dunning
Speaker 1: his strikeout prop up to five and a half. If
Speaker 1: you guys don't pay attention, it's that three and a
Speaker 1: half always, so he has been playing up thirty three
Speaker 1: and a half for him with the Rangers. I've got
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez Fantasy score thirty six and a half and
Speaker 1: Brandon Bao thirty and a half. All good matchups here.
Speaker 1: I think I've attacked the A's, the Tigers, and the
Speaker 1: Royals with my pitchers today, so you can kind of
Speaker 1: see what my logic is over on the betting side.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Atlanta, I've got a three team money parlay
Speaker 1: that I placed last night. So here it is Atlanta
Speaker 1: money line, Texas money line, and then going with my pitcher.
Speaker 1: This is the same, you know, trying to get most
Speaker 1: of the same crew for some of my price picks.
Speaker 1: I'm taking Minnesota first five money line. I'd be totally
Speaker 1: fine if you want to take the full game. I'm
Speaker 1: just taking the first five on Pablo Lopez. So it's
Speaker 1: first five money line, Minnesota, Texas, Atlanta money line. Smush
Speaker 1: it all together, get a little bit more than two
Speaker 1: to one on your money. That's my parlay for the day.
Speaker 1: Freddie Pearl to strikeouts, I just am not. I can't
Speaker 1: feel it. It's eight and a half to minus one,
Speaker 1: thirty five it's against a great matchup for strikeouts. But no,
Speaker 1: I don't see us getting there. I know he just
Speaker 1: had a big performance. I'm playing the under, and then
Speaker 1: I'm also backing Uri Perez minus a half a run
Speaker 1: or minus in favor of a run through the first five.
Speaker 1: They'll be up by one minus one fifteen. Marlins up
Speaker 1: through the first five is what my bed is? What
Speaker 1: do you got?
Speaker 2: I got Chicago Cubs first five plus a half at
Speaker 2: plus one oh five. It's kind of just been juiced
Speaker 2: up a bit since I put the same this morning.
Speaker 2: But going up against codis singing company. I think it's
Speaker 2: at least a taig game. The Cubs are the best
Speaker 2: team in baseball right now, over the last week at least,
Speaker 2: so that's pretty wild. I'll think the Giants first five
Speaker 2: minus one twenty with Logan Web going against Patrick Sandoval.
Speaker 2: I like my chances there, and then I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: just the positive value here. On Ellie Day of the cruise,
Speaker 2: over one and a half total bases at plus one
Speaker 2: twenty five. Yes, I love Yuri Perez. I also don't
Speaker 2: like the Miami Bullpen. It's great American small park, like
Speaker 2: Elied the Cruiz could turn a single into a double.
Speaker 2: I know he's striking out a ton of struggling. I
Speaker 2: get it. But to get plus money on a guy
Speaker 2: like that, I'll take my chances in great American small park.
Speaker 1: All day, all right? I like those, UI, ass would
Speaker 1: you rather still Seth or Grayson Rodriguez? Still Grayson?
Speaker 2: It's Grayson because he has a lockt in roll for one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then Mike asked about Geloff rewind a little bit.
Speaker 2: Adam, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and Adam DFS real quick. What do you
Speaker 1: got on the DFS slate today?
Speaker 2: It's an eight game slate starting at seven o five
Speaker 2: pm Eastern. A lot of high price pitchers got Spencer
Speaker 2: Strata versus Pittsburgh for twelve point eight obviously great Garrett
Speaker 2: Cole though at eleven three against the White Sox. I
Speaker 2: love saving fifteen hundred bucks and getting some Garrett Cole.
Speaker 2: If you want some value. You mentioned Dane Dounny in
Speaker 2: earlier great spot there versus Oakland. I think Cole Reagan's
Speaker 2: though against Boston at five point two k Boston is
Speaker 2: not bad, but a good value if you want to
Speaker 2: punt the pitching position, stacking it up Milwaukee versus Peter Lambert.
Speaker 2: Just keep attacking Colorado pitching. That's simple. Texas vers Ken
Speaker 2: Waldachuck is an amazing spot obviously. And then yeah, Atlanta
Speaker 2: versus Vollo Beatle, So simple one's there. And then some
Speaker 2: value we heard about Jake Myers earlier in the show
Speaker 2: are Jake Bowers. I mean he's crushing it. He's two
Speaker 2: point six k ver cease, he's first base outfit eligible,
Speaker 2: So that's a great value. And then the chalkiest value
Speaker 2: you'll see on the day, and it's worth it, David
Speaker 2: Schneider two point seven k against Gavin Williams. So just
Speaker 2: take that and run with it. M M.
Speaker 1: It might be a little tough matchup on the homers today.
Speaker 1: I'm going to back Pete Alonzo. I'm going to pd
Speaker 1: tanks here for my home run call. Who do you got?
Speaker 2: I'm going Joge Silaire against Brandon Williamson. Soilaire loves him
Speaker 2: some left handed pitching. You combo that with great American
Speaker 2: small park. Let's go.
Speaker 1: We got the board here. The board does not show me,
Speaker 1: but it does show Blue Harvest has taken a command
Speaker 1: resounding lead, commandingly five homers, number one forty five homers.
Speaker 1: JJ Tator's down at forty Razor ramon thirty nine. Wonky
Speaker 1: is still on there. I think I got to thirty
Speaker 1: or thirty one this weekend. It is ironic that, you know,
Speaker 1: we are seeing a five homer lead and today is
Speaker 1: the day that I am going to be stepping out
Speaker 1: right after this. I'm going to quickly get the pot
Speaker 1: up for everybody, and I'm cruising out to go see
Speaker 1: Corbin Carrol and see that helmet get signed. And haven't decided.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I might bring it back with me,
Speaker 1: though I do not want to ship it, so maybe
Speaker 1: we'll keep it with Dennis Sidler. I don't know. But
Speaker 1: that's getting signed in Blue RS. There is going bonkers.
Speaker 1: But you guys want to take part in this for
Speaker 1: next year and this year, for any of the awesome stuff.
Speaker 1: Make sure you go check out Fantasy Pros on the discord,
Speaker 1: get a premium account, get locked in. You guys can
Speaker 1: hang with us, you can take part. That's how we
Speaker 1: do the home run contest, Bubba. That's it, man, that
Speaker 1: was an easy show. We're kind of burning through, no crazy,
Speaker 1: crazy extra time because like I said, I am episode
Speaker 1: up and out hopefully you know, don't creep a Corbyn
Speaker 1: Carrol out. I'm just sitting back there. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: believed in you all year, man, I believe you're my guy.
Speaker 1: I was always saying you were gonna be good. I
Speaker 1: gotta not do all that. You're my boy, Corbyn, You're
Speaker 1: my boy. I had to just try to be normal
Speaker 1: and like chill.
Speaker 2: But uh a picture you walk up through with the
Speaker 2: gift with like the pimp with the hat and the cane.
Speaker 1: What's up, my man, Let's go.
Speaker 2: We did it.
Speaker 1: We did it, you me, We did it, Corbyn. We
Speaker 1: did big things this year. That's right, we dap it up.
Speaker 2: I might do that.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happened. I'll see if I can get
Speaker 1: some videos and pictures. Again, if you tuned in late, apologies,
Speaker 1: it's early. That is the reason. Thank you guys for
Speaker 1: doing it though. We are back to normal time. Everything
Speaker 1: is back to normal on Wednesday, so no worries at all.
Speaker 1: Me and Bubba out here to break it all down.
Speaker 1: We got you. So thank you guys for hanging out
Speaker 1: with us right here and leading off for Bubba. I'm Welsh,
Speaker 1: peace my friends. Goodbye, bam Ba Ba ba bam, bam bam. Oh,
