Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading
Speaker 1: Off Live, brought to you by Prize Picks for Prize
Speaker 1: Pick today. I use that promo code leading Off when
Speaker 1: you do, it's me Joey P. That of course is
Speaker 1: the Welsh and it's you, the Peanuts, the Cracker, Jacksawk
Speaker 1: and Baseball. It's a light schedule. It's a light Thursday schedule,
Speaker 1: a couple of day games, a few night games. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of DFS chatter, so we're gonna have a
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy to talk about today. Welsh and I
Speaker 1: see the chat is already hot. Lots of things going
Speaker 1: on here in the chat. Here's one from Houston thirty four.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, three to one four Joey P and Welsh.
Speaker 1: I have a guy acquiring about Jonathan India. What kind
Speaker 1: of trade value should I be looking for in return?
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on trying to move on from
Speaker 1: Jonathan India of the Reds?
Speaker 2: Welsh, I mean trade value is kind of hard to
Speaker 2: garner exactly what it is based on the league. But
Speaker 2: two ninety average, eight stolen bases, three homers. I think
Speaker 2: that's pretty good. I want to say off the top
Speaker 2: of my head, not looking at rinks at all, but
Speaker 2: India has performed at like a top five six second basement,
Speaker 2: so I probably treat him accordingly. I think it's been
Speaker 2: a top one hundred player, so you know, somewhat of
Speaker 2: equivalent value in that range. Those are stolen bases at
Speaker 2: second base are pretty impressive as well as the overall
Speaker 2: hit tool and hey, strikeouts are down. Get some more
Speaker 2: of these young kids up there. Maybe Jonathan India is,
Speaker 2: you know, batting around, getting more RBIs and get more
Speaker 2: run opportunities when Eli's and the cess and whatnot or there.
Speaker 1: Well, he was a good draft day value, that's for sure,
Speaker 1: especially in a market second base that was not very
Speaker 1: good coming into the season. There was no reason not
Speaker 1: to give a shot at a bounce back. I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people were down on him, but it's
Speaker 1: hard to be down on him considering what the ADP was.
Speaker 1: But if Fantasy Bros. We got the trade value chart
Speaker 1: up there too, so you can always plug in India's
Speaker 1: name and see what kind of guys kind of pop
Speaker 1: up there in exchange. Let's talk about the headlines from yesterday.
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker delivered a game winning two runs single there
Speaker 1: in the ninth, so good on that. Lots of exciting
Speaker 1: baseball last night, to Ronald Kunya launching a solo homer
Speaker 1: and stole base wins that he continues to be absolutely
Speaker 1: on fire so far this season. But really the story
Speaker 1: of last night has got to be the New York
Speaker 1: Mets Pete Alonso three run walk off homer, Mark Vientos
Speaker 1: making his twenty twenty three debut, he goes yard for
Speaker 1: the Mets with a big game tying blast. So this
Speaker 1: is it. Let the kids play. I know it's only
Speaker 1: one game, but the intensity after the game, to the
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso dropping f bombs on the postgame interview.
Speaker 2: Let's play it. Let's play the audio.
Speaker 1: I don't think I wish we could. I wish we
Speaker 1: lived in a world where we could. But you know, again,
Speaker 1: it's just one game. But if ever a team needed
Speaker 1: a win like that, it's certainly the New York Mets.
Speaker 1: Alonso's been ice cold, by the way to one ninety
Speaker 1: six batting average over the last fifteen games, so he
Speaker 1: needed to break out as well.
Speaker 2: I wanted to comment to I love your idea of hey,
Speaker 2: let the kids play. Guess what they're doing with Mark
Speaker 2: Ventas today. He's sitting on the bench. Buck was asked
Speaker 2: about it today and they're like, oh, you know what,
Speaker 2: Vogel box a pretty good option. It's so stupid. Mark
Speaker 2: Bento's had four all four of his hits, well hits
Speaker 2: the bat connecting with the ball hard hit ninety six
Speaker 2: plus miles per hour every single time he made contact.
Speaker 2: Two were over one hundred. So yeah, let the kids
Speaker 2: play except every day, and let vogel Bok get out
Speaker 2: there because you know he's a good option.
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. It's like the kid gets up there,
Speaker 1: hits a home run, that's exactly what you want. And look,
Speaker 1: Vogo back hasn't been awful. He's one of the few
Speaker 1: guys who's actually hit for the Mets this year. But
Speaker 1: it's so bizarre, Like I just don't understand. Just just
Speaker 1: go all in on this youth movement. Sometimes you need
Speaker 1: a bunch of the kids who don't know any better.
Speaker 1: And we've seen some of these teams in recent years
Speaker 1: kind of pop off, you know, where you have all
Speaker 1: these kids come up kind of at one time and
Speaker 1: things just kind of roll from there. It's what happened
Speaker 1: to the Cubs years ago too, when they had their
Speaker 1: run with the Rizzos and the Schwarbers and all those guys.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I.
Speaker 2: Don't feel that they don't have a good grip on
Speaker 2: their own roster. What's going on, because like when you
Speaker 2: have these type of bats I mean Mark like three
Speaker 2: point thirty eleven homers in the minors this year, completely
Speaker 2: cut his strikeout rate, everything looks good when you see that,
Speaker 2: and you see, like Brett Baty hasn't been awesome, but
Speaker 2: like you know, he's still working through it. When you
Speaker 2: have both of those guys and you can put them
Speaker 2: out in your roster, yet you're still hedging your bets
Speaker 2: being like now we don't want to give it, get
Speaker 2: rid of edwardo Escobar, Now we don't want to get
Speaker 2: rid of vogel Bach. It makes me feel like they
Speaker 2: don't know what the hell they have because they're terrified
Speaker 2: if they hand something over it's not going to work
Speaker 2: and then they're going to be stuck again. Make a move,
Speaker 2: figure out what the hell you're doing, and get get
Speaker 2: those guys out of there. Get Escobar. Okay, maybe he
Speaker 2: could be a platoon player and he can play second
Speaker 2: stuff get vogel Bak out of there, give that to Baty,
Speaker 2: give that to Viento's that's your third and DH at
Speaker 2: this point though, unfortunately, I think this is clearly a
Speaker 2: third base platoon between two rookies, which.
Speaker 1: Is stupid, which is super stupid, horrendously stupid. But they
Speaker 1: can't keep Mauricio down much longer either, so go and
Speaker 1: start picking up that kid too. He's he's been absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 1: There's only so much more time. I don't care about
Speaker 1: the defense at this point. The guy's just crushing baseballs everywhere.
Speaker 1: James Outman, Yeah right, James Outman started off like a
Speaker 1: house on fire. He is cooled off of late. He
Speaker 1: hadn't had a hit in a week and he was
Speaker 1: sitting just a buck eighty two with eighteen strikeouts or
Speaker 1: his last fifty played appearances. But last night two for
Speaker 1: four with a grand slam there for him. Red Sox
Speaker 1: manager Alex Korra made a announcement about Nick Pavetta. So
Speaker 1: Nick Pavetta is now going to get moved to the bullpen.
Speaker 1: So Brian Bellow and James Poxton, who I just returned
Speaker 1: from injury, are going to stick in the rotation. At
Speaker 1: least for now. So Welsh, what does this mean for
Speaker 1: Bellow and Paxton? We knew somebody had to get ousted here,
Speaker 1: and it turns out Pavetta is that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great. I mean, it's good for both of them.
Speaker 2: But Baio's played really well. Yeah, I'm a little dicey
Speaker 2: on Paxson. Stuff looks so good. I just kind of
Speaker 2: have a hard time believing, like he's crazy, crazy trustworthy.
Speaker 2: But I mean, you know, you follow the stuff and
Speaker 2: you just go.
Speaker 1: So this is good.
Speaker 2: Answered. This is good for both of them, so they
Speaker 2: can stay in the rotation. So I'm all about it.
Speaker 2: Because Nick Pavett, Dude, I targeted Nick Pavett anytime I could,
Speaker 2: anytime he was out there, whatever the other team was,
Speaker 2: give me the team total runs. That's what I wanted
Speaker 2: every single time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, one hundred percent. There Also, Mike Trout won
Speaker 1: for three with a holos holo sohmer a solo homer at,
Speaker 1: a little switch it up, reverse it better than how
Speaker 1: I do it. That anything's better than how you do it.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about how Tosh Bradley's going to do it,
Speaker 1: because he's going to start today against the New York Mets.
Speaker 1: So here we go. We're back again with Tosh Bradley.
Speaker 1: So are we going to see the TODs? Bradley had
Speaker 1: a three five two ERA and twenty three strikeouts and
Speaker 1: two walks over fifteen innings of his three major league starts.
Speaker 1: Oregon to see who's gotten his brains beat in a
Speaker 1: triple A ever since getting sent down? Welsh, your thoughts.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I looked so while back.
Speaker 1: What did I do?
Speaker 2: I did the like major league versus his two minor
Speaker 2: league starts, and I kind of showed you guys that
Speaker 2: clearly the Rays got to him and said we want
Speaker 2: you to do stuff different. So I went and looked
Speaker 2: at the last start, so because all of them have
Speaker 2: been bad since he's been down there, just to see
Speaker 2: if anything else had changed. So what changed was when
Speaker 2: he came off of the majors, it looked like they
Speaker 2: wanted him to throw his cutter less, so he kind
Speaker 2: of did that this last start. His cutter was the
Speaker 2: same percentage, but his fastball was down, so they were
Speaker 2: both thirty seven percent. His change up was up around
Speaker 2: twenty percent, but his curveball is still gone. I think
Speaker 2: since he's been in the minors, in over three starts,
Speaker 2: he has thrown approximately eight curveballs, so like that thing
Speaker 2: is done, and he was throwing that in the major
Speaker 2: So I don't know. This pitch mix thing seems to
Speaker 2: have affected I don't know if they did a Bryce
Speaker 2: Miller and said, hey, we just want you to be
Speaker 2: throwing this for strikes and learn to do this or that,
Speaker 2: and then he's going to get out and he's going
Speaker 2: to have free reign. So I don't know what we're
Speaker 2: getting into. So I'm scared. I'm not. I don't want
Speaker 2: to start him if I don't have to.
Speaker 1: He might be You're scared.
Speaker 2: He's had six or more strikeouts in every major league appearance.
Speaker 2: But I just don't know what we're in for here,
Speaker 2: So I'm a little bit dicey. Frankly, I might like
Speaker 2: the over, especially through the first five in that game between.
Speaker 1: Well and Terrible. On the other end of that game today,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked of that too.
Speaker 2: So you just we're gonna have to like go back
Speaker 2: and analyze and see what it is. Because I thought
Speaker 2: that curve ball was such a good piece to keep
Speaker 2: batters off. That seems to for the most part Ben Scrap,
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I don't know who it's going
Speaker 2: to be. I'm cautiously optimistic though.
Speaker 1: All Right, a lot of people in the chat talking
Speaker 1: about mister Morell for the Chicago Cubs evil Zilla here,
Speaker 1: talk about he's mashing right now now he has been
Speaker 1: you pointed out too. Look there's a downside to this
Speaker 1: player as well, but he's sitting at the top of
Speaker 1: the order. He's hitting high right now on the trough.
Speaker 1: Is morel somebody for you that this is the perfect time, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: just come up, he's been on fire. You look to
Speaker 1: move him soon? Or do you just kind of enjoy
Speaker 1: the wave here since you picked him up and he's
Speaker 1: performing so well.
Speaker 2: No, I think you ride the wave because, like, my
Speaker 2: big thing with him right now is just where does
Speaker 2: he end up landing? Is he going to be able
Speaker 2: to stick around? It's a horrific k rate for this year.
Speaker 2: It's almost thirty nine percent, which is just not sustainable.
Speaker 2: He has a five hundred babbot, it's gonna come down.
Speaker 2: But he hits the ball really, really hard, so he
Speaker 2: gets away with some stuff. We're not seeing him still
Speaker 2: a whole lot. I think he's one of those guys
Speaker 2: that you want to speculate on and own anywhere in
Speaker 2: like a twelve team. But I'm not looking to move
Speaker 2: him because I think the upside is there and I
Speaker 2: just don't think there's like any value in trading him.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would be picking up morel I'd get
Speaker 2: him out there, and let's see what happens when he
Speaker 2: levels out, because he's not leveled out right now. Five
Speaker 2: hundred babit. That ain't gonna work. Nico Horner not quite
Speaker 2: back yet, so let's see what happens with that. And
Speaker 2: there is literally no way a thirty eight point nine
Speaker 2: percent k percentage of sustainable in Major League Baseball. So
Speaker 2: that's got to get better.
Speaker 1: Agreed, all Right, some more rookie lookies, not just Talas Bradley.
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi not in the line up yesterday for the
Speaker 1: last game there, or not even last game second last
Speaker 1: game here between the Yankees and the Blue Jays. So
Speaker 1: he's really had a rough May two oh six. I
Speaker 1: know he's got home runs, but he's got twenty strikeouts,
Speaker 1: just three walks through fifteen games since May first. Again,
Speaker 1: I am not concerned about the long term Anthony Volpi
Speaker 1: stock the short term one is concerning I think there
Speaker 1: is a world where you might see him get sent
Speaker 1: down to Triple A for a month. Do you think
Speaker 1: that that's something that's emintally happening, and if so, how
Speaker 1: much does that hurt him in these these deeper leagues,
Speaker 1: Like if you're at rostering Anthony Volpi here, you've been
Speaker 1: trying to hold on, trying to hold on in the
Speaker 1: shallow league's easy to Cup eight and just kind of
Speaker 1: move on, especially if he get sent down. But in
Speaker 1: the deeper leagues, you kind of feel like he's gonna
Speaker 1: get sent down, and if he does, he'll probably get right.
Speaker 1: He'll probably figure it all out, come back and be
Speaker 1: very good, because we've seen that happen with these top
Speaker 1: prospects before so many times. But it's a tough it's
Speaker 1: a tough situation there. So how do you handle Vulpian
Speaker 1: redraft leagues right now?
Speaker 2: I think in shorter leagues like ten teen leagues, you
Speaker 2: could move on if he needed to. I would have probably,
Speaker 2: I just have a lot shorter of e leation in
Speaker 2: ten team leagues because there's so many great prospects that
Speaker 2: are coming up left and right. The counting stats I
Speaker 2: think are crazy encouraging. Even though he is sucked for
Speaker 2: all intents and purposes, he's kind of sucked. He still
Speaker 2: has thirteen stolen bases and six homers and a double
Speaker 2: digit walk percentage, but the strikeouts are just about it
Speaker 2: thirty percent. I think redraft, if there are good options,
Speaker 2: you can move on. I'm holding. I think this is
Speaker 2: going to rebound. I think this is a great dynasty
Speaker 2: by opportunity as well, especially if he gets sent down.
Speaker 1: I would be.
Speaker 2: All over that for sure, but there's just too many
Speaker 2: good guys coming up left and right now. Maybe a
Speaker 2: little bit less hitting, but you know, there's an argument
Speaker 2: to say that, like if you're in a points league
Speaker 2: like Casey Schmidt, might be safer than a guy like
Speaker 2: Anthony Vulpey right now. Oh yeah, and he's going to
Speaker 2: stick around.
Speaker 1: So I could contact gud. Look, Volpi will be fine eventually.
Speaker 1: This is I think he was a little rushed, I
Speaker 1: really do. I thought he could have dealt with a
Speaker 1: little bit more seasoning. But look, I appreciate think he's
Speaker 1: trying to be aggressive. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: It's a tough situation redraft leagues for volpe and It
Speaker 1: all depends on where you are in the standings. For me,
Speaker 1: Uncle Ted seems to be in a better mood today.
Speaker 1: Question from Uncle Ted Miguel Vargas or Chris Morrell rest
Speaker 1: of season. I'm going with Vargas. Vargas has been very
Speaker 1: good these last couple of weeks, kind of quietly, so
Speaker 1: he has really picked things up. This is an easy
Speaker 1: one for me. Welsh Worth side of you on Vargas
Speaker 1: or Morrell.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's easy, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: with Miguel Vargas. He's not doing anything. He said it
Speaker 2: was his job. It's fine, excusey for you. I don't
Speaker 2: think he's done anything to lose any gig anytime soon,
Speaker 2: even though they've got like a gajillion players. You know,
Speaker 2: it took a play second first everything. I go with
Speaker 2: Migul Vargas over Morell. But if Morell chills with the
Speaker 2: strikeouts and has a gig, he will probably beat Miguel
Speaker 2: Vargas in most of the fantasy category, So I just
Speaker 2: throw that out there as well.
Speaker 1: A couple more rookie lookies. Matthew Libertore made his twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three debut, and he was pretty pretty good, striking
Speaker 1: out six guys and five scoreless sittings. That'll that'll do.
Speaker 1: That'll definitely do.
Speaker 2: Also, before we move on from that, I sited this
Speaker 2: on CBS last night. But he had a sixty seven
Speaker 2: inch vertical break on his curveball, which would rank top
Speaker 2: ten in baseball right now. And of those guys the
Speaker 2: top ten in vertical break, there's like four starters. It's
Speaker 2: the highest average fastball because the average on ninety five.
Speaker 2: He hit ninety seven. But he threw a lot of curveball.
Speaker 2: He was fastball curveball stuff plus hated him as far
Speaker 2: as fastball, it was like a seventy eight stuff plus,
Speaker 2: but his curveball was a little over one hundred. I
Speaker 2: thought he was pretty phenomenal. I thought the curveball was awesome.
Speaker 2: He didn't even have to show off all his other offerings.
Speaker 2: Curve had a whole bunch of whiffs on it. Fastball
Speaker 2: wasn't cool like, it didn't metric like from a model perspective,
Speaker 2: it didn't weigh really well. But I thought he was
Speaker 2: commanding it good. He was throwing it high up in
Speaker 2: the zone in which the Cardinals asked him to do.
Speaker 2: I thought This was like a really really good encouraging
Speaker 2: start for him. And the thing in the broadcast they
Speaker 2: had said was they wanted him to be able to
Speaker 2: maintain velo throughout the start, and he did that again.
Speaker 2: So I thought that was fantasm. I thought this was
Speaker 2: good and he is definitely a pick up across pretty
Speaker 2: much any format.
Speaker 1: I hit ninety eight, and of course Mike Mayer, he
Speaker 1: can't wait to talk about this. I have it in
Speaker 1: the chat here already, in the not even the chat
Speaker 1: he's posting in the chat, I have it in the
Speaker 1: show sheet already because he gained twenty pounds over this
Speaker 1: off season. And you know, his reasoning was and I quote,
Speaker 1: you can't shoot a Kennon out of a canoe. There
Speaker 1: you go. This is straight from Matthew Libatoor himself. He
Speaker 1: was so excited Mayor that he found this quote, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I'll put it in the show, and it's
Speaker 1: in the show.
Speaker 2: You want to know the worst part about this is,
Speaker 2: because yes, I've heard all the Welshism and everything, is
Speaker 2: I read that quote. I instantly knew what he meant,
Speaker 2: and I didn't even see what the problem was until
Speaker 2: someone was like, oh, this is a total welshism and
Speaker 2: I'm like what, And then I was like, oh, a canoe.
Speaker 2: It completely you know you ever seeing those like scrambled
Speaker 2: words where it's like if you can read this backwards,
Speaker 2: your bub blahah, That's how that was for me. Instantly
Speaker 2: I was like, hey, I know exactly what this means.
Speaker 2: I'm totally cool with this. And no, I didn't know
Speaker 2: there was a problem.
Speaker 1: I imagine it would be very difficult to shoot a
Speaker 1: cannon out of a canoe. You know, lots lots of
Speaker 1: issues with that, a lot of problems potentially. Let's take
Speaker 1: a quick break in the action and tell you about Fanimal.
Speaker 1: I love live events, but I hate buying tickets the
Speaker 1: hidden fees they suck. It's like paying for a whole
Speaker 1: other person who's not even there to be there with
Speaker 1: you at the event, and customer service is terrible and
Speaker 1: coordinating with friends is a nightmare. But then I discovered
Speaker 1: Fanimal and Fannamal has tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball,
Speaker 1: you name it, and Major League Baseball. And plus there's
Speaker 1: no fees. The price you see is actually the price
Speaker 1: you pay. What a concept? You heard it here? First?
Speaker 1: Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get
Speaker 1: MLB tickets, and we've all experienced how painful it is
Speaker 1: to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always
Speaker 1: end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing
Speaker 1: down the friends to get reimbursed, and if they flake,
Speaker 1: I'm stuck with the whole bill. But Fnimal's patentent group
Speaker 1: purchase makes it easy to split payments with your friends,
Speaker 1: so nobody's left holding the bag and eat. I won't
Speaker 1: have to commit until your friends do, so just pick
Speaker 1: the seats, pick how many tickets you want to pay
Speaker 1: for yourself, and then send the link to your friends.
Speaker 1: And when you join your group, everyone gets stared separately
Speaker 1: and your tickets are secured, so you can stack cash
Speaker 1: by inviting friends ten bucks every time someone joins your group,
Speaker 1: catching baby. So fanomal it has amazing customer service to
Speaker 1: don't take my word for it. Check out their hundreds
Speaker 1: and hundreds of five star reviews. The next time you
Speaker 1: need tickets, go to fanimal dot com or download the
Speaker 1: fannimal app and use the promo code fanimal MLB. That's
Speaker 1: fanimal MLB for twenty dollars off your first purchase. Check
Speaker 1: out fnimal and experience more and now back to the action.
Speaker 1: And of course Mark Vindo's their last rookie. Lookie, you know,
Speaker 1: wait to go kid, way to bail us out, way
Speaker 1: to save our rear ends last night after we've been
Speaker 1: so bad. Now sit on the bench stupid. All right,
Speaker 1: let's talk about injuries here. Manny Machado as a small
Speaker 1: friend his left hand ginner went some additional imaging this
Speaker 1: week and revealed a small fracture. So we don't know
Speaker 1: if he's gonna go on the IL. My guess is
Speaker 1: he's going to go on the IL, So prepare like
Speaker 1: he is going on the IL because the good chance
Speaker 1: he will go on the IL. Tristan McKenzie will make
Speaker 1: his first minor league start rehabbing from that shoulder injury
Speaker 1: in Triple A Columbus. That's gonna happen on Saturdays. We'll
Speaker 1: keep a close eye on that over the weekend. Carls
Speaker 1: Rodin threw from ninety feet. Luis Severino also will start
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Red so he's gonna be back. So
Speaker 1: good news for that Yankee rotatious missue with Dimingo harmand
Speaker 1: gone for ten games, So there you go. Luis Averno
Speaker 1: right on time. Liam Hendrix could potentially return for the
Speaker 1: White Sox this weekend. Great story there. Also speaking of
Speaker 1: the White Soxlojamenez told reporters that he hopes to return
Speaker 1: next week. Josel Tuvey another possible return on Friday. As
Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier, he was on on that rehab. We
Speaker 1: were hoping he would get him by potentially the end
Speaker 1: of the week. It looks like that's gonna happen against A's,
Speaker 1: which is like playing a triple A team anyway, So
Speaker 1: there we were maybe a single A team at this point.
Speaker 1: The Rangers yesterday activated Corey Segers, so he is backed.
Speaker 1: Horri Polonko that was dealing with a mild hamstring and rass.
Speaker 1: Strippling was removed Wednesday with lower back tightness and sometimes
Speaker 1: Welsh when you're on the pole, you know, working as
Speaker 1: hard as Strippling does, as we mentioned yesterday, you know
Speaker 1: sometimes you know the back issues are gonna you know,
Speaker 1: they're gonna creep up from time.
Speaker 2: To time, don't you think say strippling on the pole?
Speaker 1: I did say trippling. We were talking about the exotic
Speaker 1: dancer names yesterday, Strippling being one of them is going
Speaker 1: to stage all right. It is the greatest exotic dancer
Speaker 1: name ever. I'm just saying, and I'm not saying stripper.
Speaker 1: I'm saying exotic dancer like it's a profession. I'm very
Speaker 1: very much so Dustin May, Eoe, this was not good.
Speaker 1: So Dustin May diagnosed with a flexer pronator strain. He
Speaker 1: was removed yesterday. He was not long for this start yesterday.
Speaker 1: The problem is they hope he's going to avoid surgery. Welsh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be out four to six weeks regardless. Now
Speaker 1: going into the season, you and I talked quite a
Speaker 1: bit about the Dodgers, and my whole thing with the
Speaker 1: Dodgers was, I'm not worried about the stars. I'm worried
Speaker 1: about the back of the rotation and cinder Guard has
Speaker 1: been terrible, and Dustin May is now on the show
Speaker 1: for six weeks to the year. So here we go.
Speaker 1: Where do the Dodgers go from here? Do they make
Speaker 1: a trade? Do they call it the White Sox and
Speaker 1: try to pry one of those guys? Or is there
Speaker 1: somebody from in you know, is it the Stones or
Speaker 1: what's the other fella there who's killing it?
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller. Oh, my guy, Im she Han, Yeah, No,
Speaker 2: it's going to be internal for them. This is what
Speaker 2: they'll do. So my gut says that it's going to
Speaker 2: be It's going to be Gavin Stone. Gavin Stone had
Speaker 2: a really good last start at ten strikeouts and there
Speaker 2: change up was a problem in the Major's last time.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they work through a thing. I just think that
Speaker 2: makes the most sense. He's locked in. The next option
Speaker 2: would be Bobby Miller, who's coming off of his best
Speaker 2: start of the season, and Emt she Han, who've kind
Speaker 2: of I want to like pound the table four, but
Speaker 2: he is in Double A and these two guys are
Speaker 2: ahead of him. Emma she Hand though, just had a
Speaker 2: five at a lightshouse strikeout game. He's phenomenal AFL last year.
Speaker 2: So the Dodgers have three legit options. But I think
Speaker 2: what they've got to do is I think they've got
Speaker 2: to cross Gavin Stone on or off. And that's why
Speaker 2: you bring him back up and see what you don't
Speaker 2: just jump past him again. So I think they've got
Speaker 2: to figure out is this the option or not? Then
Speaker 2: you would go to Bobby Miller. I gotta tell you, though,
Speaker 2: I would not be shocked if win Gavin Stone in
Speaker 2: whatever capacity was kind of done or they wanted to
Speaker 2: add another guy. If Emmit she Han did jump Bobby
Speaker 2: Miller because Bobby Miller is still getting his feet under him.
Speaker 2: Immit she hann had a great year last year, a
Speaker 2: killer AFL. One of the best pitchers in the AFL
Speaker 2: last year that I saw. And he has had one
Speaker 2: of the best minor league seasons among any pitcher this year,
Speaker 2: one of the highest K percentages. He's been super efficient.
Speaker 2: So they've got a ton of great options. They don't
Speaker 2: need to go out and trade.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all of course, here we go, Fantasy brose MLB.
Speaker 1: There's Mayor here the Mayor bear. Which current MB player
Speaker 1: has the best exotic dancer name? The answer, Ryan Mountcastle.
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. I don't think it is.
Speaker 1: I still think it's Genesis Carrera by a wide, wide margin.
Speaker 1: We'll take other ones, though. Potentially you can.
Speaker 2: Run a pole if you want. You can put a
Speaker 2: couple of names on the Genesis Carera.
Speaker 1: You're gonna run a pole about the exotic dancer names.
Speaker 1: You can't see that on words. There you go, Tyler Glass.
Speaker 1: Now he's tall like a pole. He will make an
Speaker 1: additional minor league rehab start for Triple A, so hopefully,
Speaker 1: barring any setbacks, he'll be back in the rotation next week. Glass, now,
Speaker 1: I hope he was really good in the last start.
Speaker 1: To him, he was just flat out dominant there. So
Speaker 1: fingers crossed. It's all we can help to do with
Speaker 1: Tyler Glass now that certainly they could use him in
Speaker 1: that raise rotation, no doubt about that. Now here's some
Speaker 1: fun stuff for you. We like fun on the program.
Speaker 1: So yesterday Jake Berger, who was back from injury, went
Speaker 1: three for four hit his tenth home run. I don't
Speaker 1: know where Jake Burger's come from, but the White Sox
Speaker 1: broadcast team.
Speaker 2: You really have ten.
Speaker 1: He's got ten home runs. Crazy, This is the quietest
Speaker 1: ten home runs all season. When he went on the il,
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I knew he was at nine
Speaker 1: because and I looked at and said, what, he's got
Speaker 1: nine home runs? How did that happen? Because he had
Speaker 1: gotten called up early in the year obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: when there was injuries, and then stuck around when Lloyd
Speaker 1: you know, was alloy eventually, but here we go. So
Speaker 1: the White Sox broadcast team put out a graphic that
Speaker 1: Berger had before this home run, swung at twenty two
Speaker 1: consecutive pitches, which was the most in MLB this season
Speaker 1: by a wide margin, twenty two. So he's just up
Speaker 1: there hacking. And then after they said that he swung
Speaker 1: at twenty two in a row, the twenty third was
Speaker 1: the home run. I just thought that was pretty awesome there.
Speaker 2: And I have an affinity for Jake Berger. I was
Speaker 2: at the spring training game where he blew out his
Speaker 2: leg and I was like behind, so I was just
Speaker 2: seeing the backside run and then tumble and he were
Speaker 2: like oh. He was like slow motion, like oh no.
Speaker 2: And then for him to have made the recovery. Also
Speaker 2: maybe the quietest ten homers that any baseball player has
Speaker 2: ever hit. That is shocking to me.
Speaker 1: I know that Jake Berger ten bonds. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: never get to do this segue again. Speaking of burgers,
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals have a new ritual. So everyone's
Speaker 1: got home run rituals. So apparently they have a burger phone.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this. I didn't see it.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, what did you see this?
Speaker 1: This is a real thing. I did not doctor this
Speaker 1: at all. Shout out to Ethan, who does our graphics
Speaker 1: here at Leading Off. I saw this last night. So
Speaker 1: apparently Adam Wayne Wright has this Burger phone in the
Speaker 1: in the picture, and they they open the Burger phone
Speaker 1: when they're calling a home run, so they lift up
Speaker 1: the Burger phone. And sure enough, last night they lifted
Speaker 1: out the Burger phone and someone went yard. I forgot
Speaker 1: who it was in the Cardinal game, but it was.
Speaker 1: It was wild. So kind of like Leading Off. They've
Speaker 1: got a little pool going on picking home run. So
Speaker 1: I thought this was cool. Shout out to Adam Wayne
Speaker 1: Wright trying to, you know, hang out in our discord
Speaker 1: and pick home runs. But the Burger time kind of fun.
Speaker 1: I also think that they should replace the bullpen phone
Speaker 1: with the Burger phone, Like that should be automatic, right.
Speaker 2: I like that a lot. I think that would be
Speaker 2: the play. I'm all for. This is a great thing
Speaker 2: for baseball. By the way, these guys, they should do
Speaker 2: so much more of this. Every team should have their
Speaker 2: crazy home run celebration, any type of thing. Start changing
Speaker 2: the If you got burger phones, put them everywhere. I
Speaker 2: think this is great.
Speaker 1: I remember as a kid they had the football phone
Speaker 1: right when you had Sport, you get Sports Illustrated, you
Speaker 1: get all these issues for free and all these things,
Speaker 1: and then you.
Speaker 2: Also get Tony Remembers the football.
Speaker 1: Phone or the helmet phone.
Speaker 2: One thing I'm still I don't think I'm quite understanding.
Speaker 2: So this isn't a home run celebration. The pictures are
Speaker 2: calling the home run by picking up the phone.
Speaker 1: No, they're basically opening the lid of the They're basically okay,
Speaker 1: this is home run time. They're they're very careful of it,
Speaker 1: but they're calling. I don't know if they're I don't
Speaker 1: know if they have a rule system yet, if they
Speaker 1: can only do it once a game, I don't.
Speaker 2: I like to know more. But can we also? Can
Speaker 2: we joke if you don't see a picture of the dongbong?
Speaker 1: Uh? Sure why you just got just we're talking.
Speaker 2: About Yeah, we can talk about mountcas we're talking about celebrations.
Speaker 2: There you go, there you go.
Speaker 1: There, there's a that's a good one right here. Look
Speaker 1: at the trident. I mean, the trident is really cool.
Speaker 1: I think tried and still I.
Speaker 2: Like the trident a lot.
Speaker 1: I really a little bit more masculine than the burger phone.
Speaker 2: Something nice about make a good.
Speaker 1: Look at both of those things together. In the YouTube
Speaker 1: channel again subscribed to Fantasy Bros. MLB YouTube. There's the
Speaker 1: Trident and there's Adam Wayne right with. I like.
Speaker 2: I like the the the Angels one with the big
Speaker 2: you know, the samurai hat and whatever.
Speaker 1: I like that The Angels one with the Samurai hats
Speaker 1: very cool as well. All right, Three up and three
Speaker 1: down from yesterday. Uh Seya Suzuki went three for three,
Speaker 1: two homers, three RBI at at least Garcia a pair
Speaker 1: of solo homer has lots of duos. Last night and
Speaker 1: code I Senga on my bench after last week recorded
Speaker 1: twelve strikeouts against the race that happened yesterday. He got
Speaker 1: no decision, but twelve strikeouts for him. Three down. Here
Speaker 1: we go, Graham Ashcraft, they told you he was overrated.
Speaker 1: I don't understand the whole thing about this, like what
Speaker 1: two or three weeks ago about I don't get all
Speaker 1: these gram Ashcraft questions. I'm getting like he is some
Speaker 1: kind of great prospect picture. I don't see it. Five
Speaker 1: hit seven earned tattis who I picked yesterday to go
Speaker 1: yard and for my prize pick, he went over five.
Speaker 1: Boo boo over five against the Royals. How dare you
Speaker 1: and Marco Gonzalez, who has got to get bounced from
Speaker 1: this rotation? He's got a six' ten, era one inning
Speaker 1: and a third in two. Thirds excuse, ME i won't
Speaker 1: give A i want to take away any credit for
Speaker 1: how long you lasted this game with the eight hits
Speaker 1: and eight earned runs he gave. Up so The mariners now,
Speaker 1: have in my, opinion at least two holes in this.
Speaker 1: Rotation mariner's got to get going. Here is there anybody
Speaker 1: in That mariner system who could get a look here
Speaker 1: Besides Bryce miller anytime? Soon or have they exhausted Between
Speaker 1: kirby And gilbert And miller now they've got to look.
Speaker 2: Elsewhere they could go To Emerson hancock And Taylor. DOLLARD
Speaker 2: i think those are the. Two there's a, guy Pre
Speaker 2: Lander burrowa who's got really awesome, stuff but he's been
Speaker 2: moved to the, bullpen SO i think he's going to
Speaker 2: be a bullpen help down the line for this. Team
Speaker 2: but those are the two internal. OPTIONS i Think Emerson
Speaker 2: hancock is probably in the same general you, know good,
Speaker 2: Ranges Bryce, miller AND i do not want to see
Speaker 2: ANY i don't want to see anyone bring his name
Speaker 2: up for the exotic answer. Name just keep it to
Speaker 2: yourselves BECAUSE i just thought of. It but, Yes Emerson
Speaker 2: hancock would be THE.
Speaker 1: I wasn't Gonna sometimes things need not be. Said that's
Speaker 1: the duty of this. Show it's, like you, know we
Speaker 1: we just kind of leave it to your imagination. Sometimes so,
Speaker 1: yeah let's move on. Here from, that let's go to of,

Speaker 1: mean it can't be, fun but this might be one
Speaker 1: of those days where you, know if you're sitting around
Speaker 1: and you're watching, baseball or you're sitting around and you've
Speaker 1: got you, know you're in your office or something like,
Speaker 1: that and you want to do some live, betting there
Speaker 1: might be some opportunities for, that but anything going into these,
Speaker 1: games it's just not super exciting for. Me, Welsh what
Speaker 1: do you have for the people? Today?
Speaker 2: Yeah and by the, WAY i just realized The angel
Speaker 2: game is going on right, now so you wouldn't be
Speaker 2: able to get the positive side of the, sandwich SO
Speaker 2: i might have to give another. NEGATIVE i will, Say Uri,
Speaker 2: perez even though it's at the five, K'S i don't love.
Speaker 2: THAT i might throw that back in if we want
Speaker 2: to have the positive sandwich or find it another. Negative
Speaker 2: so apologies about The Mic trout. Things so, Yes and
Speaker 2: by the, WAY i had The Angels baltimore over first five,
Speaker 2: runs which we couldn't talk. About So i'm on got
Speaker 2: two bets That i'm really in on right, now AND
Speaker 2: i do like them both very. Much Though Tampa bay
Speaker 2: first five team total runs two and a. Half that
Speaker 2: is plus money anywhere from like even one hundred to
Speaker 2: plus one twenty, five like it was last. Night so
Speaker 2: this is about Attacking tyler. McGill the race score a
Speaker 2: ton of. RUNS i believe they've been scoring around six
Speaker 2: through the first five over the last three, games and
Speaker 2: they score almost four runs through the first, Five SO
Speaker 2: i love this. Matchup So Tampa bay for them to
Speaker 2: score three runs through the first, five and Eury perez
Speaker 2: his strikeout number is starting to creep up a little.
Speaker 2: Bit it's four and a. Half it was minus one,
Speaker 2: ten it's at minus one. Fifteen washington doesn't strike out a,
Speaker 2: ton but Ury prez put up seven and under five last.
Speaker 2: TIME i think we can do this. AGAIN i love
Speaker 2: the secondary, OFFERINGS i love the. Command So i'm gonna
Speaker 2: go with Ury perez to hit those five strikeouts minus one.
Speaker 1: Fifteen Thanks michael in the chat for letting me know
