Speaker 1: Welcome in Frindos de leading off on Fantasy Pros. I
Speaker 1: am your host, Chris Welsh, of course, who is not
Speaker 1: on the right microphone, which I'm gonna fix in just
Speaker 1: one second, as I see mister Chris Claig is in
Speaker 1: the house. Chris, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 2: Oh, not too much?
Speaker 3: And I see I've got a I'm being Kelly Kirby
Speaker 3: today the Wonkee Penguins.
Speaker 2: So it's all good.
Speaker 3: I'm glad to be here and I'm looking forward to
Speaker 3: chatting it up man. Big weekend slate coming up, final
Speaker 3: full week of the season approaches and I'm sad. Hey,
Speaker 3: I'm Chris Claig, Jay Rod last week, so it's all good,
Speaker 3: having fun.
Speaker 1: We fixed the clean audio. There we run cam action. Kelly,
Speaker 1: you looked a little different. It looked a little different.
Speaker 1: It's the Chris and Chris Show. What is up everybody?
Speaker 1: Hopefully everybody's doing good on a Friday, And this isn't
Speaker 1: like official office. But Chris, I think this is the last.
Speaker 1: This is your last Friday show because or on this well,
Speaker 1: there's a rumor on the streets that there might be
Speaker 1: this bald guy that might be appearing next week I've
Speaker 1: got a confirm it. Of course, there's a rumor on
Speaker 1: the streets that this bald dude might be coming on,
Speaker 1: but no guarantees. But we'll knock it out because we've
Speaker 1: actually got a great topic. We've got a bunch of
Speaker 1: things to talk about. There's one great topic I'm very
Speaker 1: excited to get into when we get into the stats,
Speaker 1: because it's kind of close to home at least to
Speaker 1: one of your partners that we can talk about. But
Speaker 1: let's get into the stuff. As Aaron Judge is going
Speaker 1: from Maris and no one was really happy yesterday as
Speaker 1: Judge went over to with three walks, three walks and
Speaker 1: extra innings against the Red Sox and the fans not
Speaker 1: super happy when Waka had walked him in his first
Speaker 1: two at bats. Red Sox having absolutely no part, no
Speaker 1: part of being the ones that have the home run
Speaker 1: tie or giving it up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not surprising. I mean you almost just like,
Speaker 3: you know, want to just give these guys the like
Speaker 3: these home run records like poo Hooles and Judge like,
Speaker 3: I just want to groom some fastballs and see what
Speaker 3: they can do. You know, I know that's not like
Speaker 3: especially in a rivalry, You're not gonna do that, but
Speaker 3: still it's a Judge almost did it. He hit that
Speaker 3: one to the warning tracks, almost hit sixty one. But
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna obviously get the record. I mean,
Speaker 3: there's still plenty of times, so he'll uh, he'll definitely
Speaker 3: break that al record for.
Speaker 1: That call was one of the best of the season,
Speaker 1: by the way, like Aaron Judge, it's go, It's go,
Speaker 1: It's caught. I mean, like the defeat that was taken out.
Speaker 1: They thought this thing was hit to the moon and
Speaker 1: it was just hit to the warning track as all
Speaker 1: that it was. It was a magnificent call. It really
Speaker 1: is the excitement of that type of stuff when it fails.
Speaker 1: It's just the masochist in me gets me kind of
Speaker 1: going and excited. But it's gonna easy break it. But
Speaker 1: you know, I was listening to there's like multiple takes
Speaker 1: on it. I guess I was listening to something on
Speaker 1: Jake Arietta was talking about the pool whole stuff, and
Speaker 1: I feel like the pool whole stuff is the same
Speaker 1: as the Judge stuff, where at this point what Arieta
Speaker 1: was saying with poolholes is like listen, at this point,
Speaker 1: you know you've earned it. I'm gonna groove you. You know,
Speaker 1: fastballs and if you can hit it, you can hit it.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give this to you or anything. But
Speaker 1: like the idea that even with the judge stuff, that
Speaker 1: any players, whether it's the Red Sox or not, are
Speaker 1: just not going to even go at him. It's just
Speaker 1: it's disappointing. I mean, the pool stuff is different. I
Speaker 1: suppose this is like a you know, a hat tip
Speaker 1: to one of the great players to hit a record
Speaker 1: like that. No one needs a judge to do this.
Speaker 1: But bottom line is just it ain't happening against the
Speaker 1: Red Sox if they have anything to do with it.
Speaker 2: Nope, they don't want it. They don't want that happened
Speaker 2: in a rivalry game, for sure.
Speaker 1: Following an altercation with teammate Yandy Diaz earlier in the
Speaker 1: week which had him miss a couple of games, Randy
Speaker 1: Rose Raina went three for four with two RBI and
Speaker 1: also stole a base on Thursday as the Rays law
Speaker 1: victor won on the Blue Jays. What was the altercation?
Speaker 1: I think I missed this on the note. Did you
Speaker 1: see what the altercation was? Wonky?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I did not see that, honestly.
Speaker 1: Yandy altercation. I'm curious about this. Were they were they fighting?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I would altercation. I don't see
Speaker 1: anything about all right, So multiple sources confirm that there
Speaker 1: was a physical altercation between Yandi and a Rose Arena
Speaker 1: in the parking lot on Monday. The two had to
Speaker 1: be separated after a disagreement, and neither played on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: So little parking lot action. That's never good. But Randy
Speaker 1: Rose Arena got back into it, been very good. Alec
Speaker 1: Stump of dk Pittsburgh Sports reports that the Pirates are
Speaker 1: calling up prospect Jinhuin Bay from from TRIPAA Indianapolis. And
Speaker 1: we saw him in the Arizona Fall League last year.
Speaker 1: Massive massive contact hitter who he's kind of got that
Speaker 1: that classic like almost we're gonna try to say, like
Speaker 1: the inchy row with the legs kind of together and
Speaker 1: comeback stance. It's not a power swing that there's some power.
Speaker 1: He's massively massively fast and he actually I've got that
Speaker 1: anyone cares, But I've got this video on my timeline
Speaker 1: that you guys might care about. It is funny and
Speaker 1: it's Bay in the AFL hitting a ball. Crazy. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the ev was, but crazy heart. At
Speaker 1: the picture, Pitcher comes around, does a backwards catch on
Speaker 1: the glove and then Bay as he's walking away does
Speaker 1: the like sniper thing, like that was a sniper catch.
Speaker 1: It's just a great video from the AFL. But talk
Speaker 1: to me about your thoughts on on Bay with Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: I really liked what I saw from him last year
Speaker 3: in the AFL, and it kind of backed up what
Speaker 3: we saw him doing double A last year.
Speaker 2: And you know, really talented prospects.
Speaker 3: You mentioned from a hit standpoint, like the field of
Speaker 3: hit is incredible, really high contact skills. He sprayed a
Speaker 3: lot of line drives, you know, kind of all over
Speaker 3: the field in the AFL, and his line drive rate
Speaker 3: is up this year in Triple A, which is encouraging.
Speaker 2: I think he's going to hit for a high average.
Speaker 3: He might get ten home runs over a full season
Speaker 3: from him. But the average and the speed is a
Speaker 3: real game changer. Where he he's already stole in thirty
Speaker 3: bases is here in Triple A, and he's certainly capable
Speaker 3: of doing that in the Major. So if he's playing
Speaker 3: consistently down the stretch and he needs some steals, bagging average,
Speaker 3: like I'd pick him up, see where it goes. I mean,
Speaker 3: who's blocking him?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean, you know, unless they ever want
Speaker 1: to start doing the crew stuff into the outfield, it'd
Speaker 1: be interesting to watch. But I mean, they've got Castillo,
Speaker 1: who they'd liked to play around with, and they got
Speaker 1: some guys in the future, but they're gonna give a shot.
Speaker 1: I am surprised that they kind of gave up the
Speaker 1: Pirates did on Lyova Paguero, and they just want to
Speaker 1: maybe just give They also might be auditioning Bear or
Speaker 1: something like that, but again, he's just kind of caught that.
Speaker 1: Like leg comes into the body, full body comes forward,
Speaker 1: makes tons of contact on the season, tweety nine batting average,
Speaker 1: eight homers, thirty stolen bases, one hundred and twenty one
Speaker 1: hits on the year. He's just not a big big
Speaker 1: like this is a big homer guy. Twenty three doubles
Speaker 1: not too bad for him, six triples, eight homers, over
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one hits. You know, that is
Speaker 1: his game. It's singles, getting on base and hopefully stealing
Speaker 1: some bases. He'd be a top of the lineup type
Speaker 1: of guy. So he might be a dart throw if
Speaker 1: he's gonna get these last couple of games for a
Speaker 1: few stolen bases and some batting average, But I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be playing him for the other three categories. That's just me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Zach Gallen delivered an unbelievable performance in of course, a
Speaker 1: tough luck loss against the Dodgers. He had thirteen strikeouts
Speaker 1: over eight innings of one run baseball and actually over
Speaker 1: in this league. Bagrain and I are doing a very
Speaker 1: early mock draft for doing a slow twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: mock draft that we're going to be breaking down next
Speaker 1: week on the end of Fantasy Baseball podcast. And in
Speaker 1: the fourth round, I gave serious consideration to Gallen. I
Speaker 1: had not taken a picture yet. I ended up going
Speaker 1: with little Spencer Strider for the strikeouts, but I feel
Speaker 1: like those two are kind of in the same general range.
Speaker 1: But Manda's Gallon game after game moved himself up as
Speaker 1: far as the territory of sp He's going to be
Speaker 1: next year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, And I think he was having a
Speaker 3: pretty quiet dominant season up until about the last month
Speaker 3: and then everyone kind of started taking notice. And then
Speaker 3: he's been even better down the stretch, and he's lowered
Speaker 3: that era to two four six, zero point eight to
Speaker 3: nine whip just ridiculous stuff. And the K minus BBB
Speaker 3: and over twenty percent just really really good. And it's
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be a top fifty pick next
Speaker 3: year pretty consensuously. So interesting comparison with Stryder, you'll probably
Speaker 3: get more k's with Strider. Gallon has a little bit
Speaker 3: higher floor, a little bit of safer bet. But since
Speaker 3: who he's this is who he's been outside of last year.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know in twenty nineteen, who he was,
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, shorten seasons who he was, But last
Speaker 3: year is kind of an anomaly, it seems. And I
Speaker 3: think Gallon's a borderline ace moving forward. Yeah, And I'm
Speaker 3: actually trying to take a look real quick. This is
Speaker 3: bad business here, man, I'm trying to.
Speaker 1: Take a look at where and if he went, so
Speaker 1: in that fourth round, I still, oh, man, is he
Speaker 1: gonna make it? I hope no one I know? There
Speaker 1: he went? He went in the fourth round. It's a
Speaker 1: fifteen team draft. He would the thirteenth pick in the
Speaker 1: fourth round, so a little bit after top fifty probably
Speaker 1: a good value Peralta, Bieber, Freed, and Radon and Streider
Speaker 1: all went ahead of him. Is there anybody you don't
Speaker 1: think next year should go ahead of him? Because I
Speaker 1: don't think Paralta, I don't think. I'm not sure I
Speaker 1: would go per Alta, Bieber or Freed over Gallon at
Speaker 1: this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely not Paralta in my opinion, and I love Freed,
Speaker 3: But I just think Gallen's kind of proved his work
Speaker 3: to be ahead up.
Speaker 2: I think it's semi closed. I think it's fair.
Speaker 3: Bieber has just been a bizarre case this year where
Speaker 3: you know, everything's kind of down a bit, but the
Speaker 3: results have still been good.
Speaker 2: So I don't fully know what.
Speaker 3: To make of Bieber for next season or who he'll be.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think Gallon's the safer bet over all
Speaker 3: three of those.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean, and you know, my logic on
Speaker 1: the Strider stuff is just elite strikeouts, probably a better
Speaker 1: team context in general. But I think Era and maybe
Speaker 1: Whip could be a little bit more dicey going into
Speaker 1: next year versus Gallon, even though you know the Diamondbacks
Speaker 1: have been kind of at the Diamondbacks are putting together.
Speaker 1: They're putting together a competitive roster and they're going to
Speaker 1: have it next year with Kesic McCarthy and var Show
Speaker 1: and Carol and really Christian Walker. Christian Walker has had
Speaker 1: a very quiet, insanely productive season. Once he improved the
Speaker 1: batting average on the second half. I think he's up
Speaker 1: into the two thirties or whatnot. And if you get
Speaker 1: him into the you know, forty range, if you're getting
Speaker 1: close to forty homers, I mean, what more could you
Speaker 1: ask for? That's more valuable than Kyle Schwarber's two nine
Speaker 1: or whatever it is batting average and forty homers tell
Speaker 1: you that. Here's a fun fact, speaking prospects, Hayden Wasnuski
Speaker 1: threw an immaculate inning last night in the fifth against
Speaker 1: the Pirates. There have now been forty three immaculate innings
Speaker 1: since twenty ten. There were only thirty one from nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety to two thousand and nine. In the one hundred
Speaker 1: and fourteen MLB seasons before that, there were only thirty one.
Speaker 1: So trying to do quick math sixty two, that would
Speaker 1: be one hundred and five total immaculate innings in the
Speaker 1: history of baseball, which almost equates to an immaculate inning
Speaker 1: per year. But here's what I ask you, does immaculate
Speaker 1: Do immaculate innings get you going? Because I hate to
Speaker 1: be the like you know how I I everybody knows
Speaker 1: like I get excited about perfect games and no hitters,
Speaker 1: and I like cycles way more than anybody else. For
Speaker 1: some reason, maculate innings aren't really like a thing for me.
Speaker 1: I'm just like that's cool, Like it doesn't like, it
Speaker 1: doesn't impress me, and it probably should because if there's
Speaker 1: only been essentially one per year in the history of baseball,
Speaker 1: that is a very very elusive record. What are your
Speaker 1: thoughts on the immaculate inning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a bit of a surprise with that
Speaker 3: stat in general, Like how few there've been that surprised me.
Speaker 3: I feel like you hear about it every so often.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it's a regular thing, but you know,
Speaker 3: we've looked there's been forty three since twenty ten to
Speaker 3: twelve seasons. That's still not that many when we think
Speaker 3: about it. Yet three per year. I think it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Like you said, I'm not crazy like about it, like
Speaker 3: perfect game obviously cooler and no hitter like those sorts
Speaker 3: of things, but pretty impressive. I'd still say. I mean,
Speaker 3: I like Weston Askui a lot. I think it's awesome
Speaker 3: what he's been doing so far.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wonky, if you were a Cubs fan, you would
Speaker 1: be a big fan of a Maga. Sure, Macula innings
Speaker 1: are cool and everything, But I kind of agree with
Speaker 1: what coke Cart said in the chat here with the
Speaker 1: Peanuts and the Cracker Jacks, three pitch innings he likes more.
Speaker 1: I kind of agree. I think three pitch innings are
Speaker 1: more impressive when you can just get three straight outs.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just triple I like triple plays
Speaker 1: more than immaculate innings. Does anybody like an immaculate inning
Speaker 1: more than a triple play? Probably not? Yeah, right, triple plays?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: Pretty exciting. This day in baseball nineteen eighty eight, Jose
Speaker 1: Canseco becomes the founder of Baseball's forty homer forty Stolen
Speaker 1: bas club by stealing two bases in a nine to eight,
Speaker 1: fourteen inning win over Milwaukee. He also hit his forty
Speaker 1: first home run of the year. How many forty forties
Speaker 1: have we had? Have we had any five?
Speaker 3: Because they go let's see really, Yeah, Soriano did it
Speaker 3: on this.
Speaker 1: Seasons.
Speaker 3: Soriano definitely did it in five or six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like we just did this. I no,
Speaker 1: it says. In total, only four players have reached the
Speaker 1: forty to forty club in MLB history, and none have
Speaker 1: done so more than once. One of those, let's see,
Speaker 1: of these three were right handed batters and one was
Speaker 1: left handed. Two players, Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez, were
Speaker 1: both forty forty. So you have Conseko, Bonds, Ramirez, and
Speaker 1: then who is the third? Oh, I'll find so Sorryana,
Speaker 1: So those are the four players that have Okay, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'll take forty forty seasons over immaculate innings too.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'll take immaculate. We need to
Speaker 1: find what I'll take an immaculate inning over, because I
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you. Apparently it's just not impressing. Impressing.
Speaker 1: Milwaukee is losing it. We have nothing else we else.
Speaker 1: Just just let us have it. You guys can have
Speaker 1: it totally. Immaculate inning is something, but I'm just saying
Speaker 1: I'm not quite there. I'm not quite there with it.
Speaker 1: Over on the stat hereos this is where I wanted
Speaker 1: to get into something. Let me go through them, and
Speaker 1: then you're gonna probably know the player I'm gonna pick
Speaker 1: to talk about. Colton Wong three for four with three homers,
Speaker 1: five RBI, three runs, Thank you very much. Championship with Merrifield,
Speaker 1: a rare anything game, two homers, three RBI, two runs.
Speaker 1: Randy Roseraine, as we mentioned, had a stolen base win
Speaker 1: three for four. Brian Reynolds three for three with an
Speaker 1: RBI and a stolen base, a lot of those big
Speaker 1: hit games for him lately. Jonathan Ronda two for four
Speaker 1: with a homer and RBI. John Carlos Stanton had a bomb,
Speaker 1: Brendan Donovan had a bomb. Mana Machado with a homer
Speaker 1: and a stolen based Combo Large Newt Bar one for
Speaker 1: two with a homer and two runs, and Jared Kelmick
Speaker 1: two for three with a homer, two RBI and two runs.
Speaker 1: Chris clegg I was just having a conversation with somebody.
Speaker 1: I think it was actually Andrew Seipher, maybe off air.
Speaker 1: We were talking about a few of the things and
Speaker 1: we got into Jared Keelnick and it was like if
Speaker 1: you almost had the pass as soon as Cross finally
Speaker 1: gave up on Kelnick. For the most part, everyone felt like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we can do this. I'm curious that your take on
Speaker 1: Jared Klnick, because came in hit minor league has been
Speaker 1: all right, still looks very quad aish I had mentioned,
Speaker 1: you know, he lowered his k percentage versus what he
Speaker 1: did in the majors, but it's still the second highest
Speaker 1: of his major minor league career. Was his strikeout percentage?
Speaker 1: Contact looked dicey. You know, he had a hissy fit
Speaker 1: or whatever it was about the social media and taking
Speaker 1: the Mariners off. But either way, it doesn't matter. He
Speaker 1: hits a homer, he's productive with a few hits. We're
Speaker 1: gonna do this. We're gonna fall into the Jared Klnick
Speaker 1: trap again.
Speaker 2: I don't think so, not this year. At least.
Speaker 3: You know, he making go in the offseason and make
Speaker 3: some changes and come back. But like, what's the realistic
Speaker 3: expectation for Kilnick at this point, I guess is the question.
Speaker 3: And it's certainly not what we once thought, or many
Speaker 3: of us once thought. And I think I've lowered my
Speaker 3: expectation a pretty good bit. And you look, and he's
Speaker 3: been good in triple A like just dominant, but obviously
Speaker 3: triple A is a totally different world than the majors,
Speaker 3: where we've got a five and and four played appearance
Speaker 3: sample and two fifty OVP three forty slug. I mean
Speaker 3: the power speeds there, nineteen home runs, eleven steals, but
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm not sure he makes enough contact
Speaker 3: to be a high end or even like a top
Speaker 3: one hundred fantasy player at this point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dominant might be a little bit of a stretch.
Speaker 1: He's been fine, he's been good, but for a guy
Speaker 1: of his pedigree that's had multiple stints in the majors
Speaker 1: and come back down like this is a pretty good
Speaker 1: minor league season, but we've seen exponentially better from guys
Speaker 1: who have been much less. I mean, Moyst's you could
Speaker 1: argue moiss Gomez, who is, you know, a nothing burger
Speaker 1: in a lot of people's eyes, who at one point
Speaker 1: led the miners and Homer's former raised prospect. I think
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals right now, you know he had a
Speaker 1: better minor league season and moving a couple levels like
Speaker 1: the I think what this is is this is the
Speaker 1: Mariners getting a last ditch effort to figure out what
Speaker 1: we have in Kelnick. And also, I really, really truly
Speaker 1: believe this is them showcasing him for the off season.
Speaker 1: I think there's Kelnik is quite a personality. I think
Speaker 1: there's a chemistry thing with this team, and I don't
Speaker 1: know if kel Nick fits it. I really don't anymore.
Speaker 1: Even though kel Nick and Julio have a great relationship,
Speaker 1: I just don't know where that is right now. And
Speaker 1: I think Kelnick wants out and this is a good
Speaker 1: opportunity for him to have some you know, he can
Speaker 1: build up a little bit off the low minor league
Speaker 1: you know production that he's had, and if he can
Speaker 1: string a just I mean, all you gotta do is
Speaker 1: string a couple games together. Hell, I mean, I think
Speaker 1: is he eligible for He should be eligible for. I
Speaker 1: don't know is he eligible for the playoffs because I
Speaker 1: think you had to be on the active roster going
Speaker 1: into September, But since he had been an active roster
Speaker 1: guy before, I don't know if that makes him ineligible.
Speaker 1: Because as in say, anything he can do right now
Speaker 1: to push up that you know, that ability, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be great for trades in the off season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's interesting. Take.
Speaker 3: I mean and I could certainly see it and maybe
Speaker 3: maybe he needs a fresh start somewhere. But you know,
Speaker 3: they obviously got Jay Rod out there. You'll have Hanniger
Speaker 3: still out there. They've got, you know, several of their
Speaker 3: mouths to feed too. I mean, I know Winker hasn't
Speaker 3: been good and he's DHD a lot, but you know,
Speaker 3: he plays some left field. So it'll be interesting to
Speaker 3: see how it all shakes out in Seattle and if
Speaker 3: they do n up trade them. And also we're forgetting
Speaker 3: about Kyle Lewis, who's been banged up most of the year.
Speaker 3: But I have a lot of guys that they could
Speaker 3: Taylor spot. Yeah, I've always liked Tremille.
Speaker 1: You know, the they do this a lot, but there's
Speaker 1: just something about it. Maybe it's because they've made so
Speaker 1: many trades. I just feel like the Mariners and Reds
Speaker 1: are going to pull the trade off again and Kelnick
Speaker 1: is going to become a Cincinnati Red. Like you know what,
Speaker 1: maybe trade garbage for garbage, trade Nixon Zel for Jared Kelnick,
Speaker 1: Nixon Zell in a little something for kel Nick could
Speaker 1: just move spots and get them off the team. But
Speaker 1: I wouldn't fall into this for anybody, He's not a
Speaker 1: pick up at this point. I would rather go and
Speaker 1: pick up Jonathan Ronda with Tampa Bay, who has you know,
Speaker 1: potential to be leading off through the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: Then I would going to pick up Jared Kelnick. If
Speaker 1: anyone's wondering in Dynasty, there definitely is something to maybe
Speaker 1: bye bye bye Low. But he's got to be really low,
Speaker 1: like really really low for me to be interested in that,
Speaker 1: I think, and you agree with that, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not paying much of anything for him.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: Over on the picture side, Kyle bradish a phenomenal eight
Speaker 1: and two thirds two hits, just missed the complete game
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts. On the Astros was paying attention to that too,
Speaker 1: because Verlander was one of the props for yesterday and
Speaker 1: was a no go the props over on the cheet
Speaker 1: she didn't do so well because also one of the
Speaker 1: guys I forgot to mention at the top, which we'll
Speaker 1: mention in the zeros here got absolutely lit up and
Speaker 1: Bradish out performed him. Zach Allen, who we talked about,
Speaker 1: struck out thirteen and eight innings. Jamison Tyon had eight
Speaker 1: strikeouts and six Brandon Woodruff eleven strikeouts and six and
Speaker 1: Jonathan Heasley, who's been kind of like a guy who've
Speaker 1: been honed in on streaming six innings, only two hits,
Speaker 1: three strikeouts in a pretty good performance on the stat
Speaker 1: zero side, Seth Brown, Cavin Bigie at Thirostrata, Trent Isham,
Speaker 1: Carlos Santana all Oh for four with three k's, and
Speaker 1: you had some for three with three ks in Joey
Speaker 1: gallow and Gavin Lux the pitcher that got blown up,
Speaker 1: Jose Barrios two innings, struck out one in six, earn
Speaker 1: six earned runs over seven hits, and George Kirby two
Speaker 1: and one third gave up five earned runs. This is
Speaker 1: I hate this, Actually, you know what I was about
Speaker 1: to say. I hate to see this. I actually love
Speaker 1: to see the Kirby thing from a dynasty and redraft perspective,
Speaker 1: as long as you're not owning him right now, simply
Speaker 1: because I want him to be a little bit cheaper
Speaker 1: next year. And I think, do you agree with that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's fair.
Speaker 3: It'd be nice to I think he can blossom into
Speaker 3: an Ace like young Ace that we're seeing.
Speaker 2: But I'm not opposed to just for the price. I'm
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, over on our home run calls, friends, would you
Speaker 1: believe this? Check this out. Congrats to Jim's Mick Sorley
Speaker 1: for calling the only correct home run yesterday, the only one.
Speaker 1: And listen to the call, Mike Yastremsky, You've got to
Speaker 1: be kidding me. That's an unbelieved So the board did move,
Speaker 1: cat Fox and el Scale are still tied at fifty
Speaker 1: five at the top, Helpless is at fifty four, High,
Speaker 1: covees at fifty two, and d Blum is at fifty.
Speaker 1: Go cards right behind the board did not move whatsoever.
Speaker 1: I mushed Albert Poolholes trying to get you know, trying
Speaker 1: to get six to ninety nine and didn't happen, which
Speaker 1: almost means for sure it's going to happen today. Just
Speaker 1: pointing out to everybody because that is just how the
Speaker 1: world works. But one of Cat Fox, l Scale, Helpless, High, Covey,
Speaker 1: d Blum, probably the first three that I mentioned are
Speaker 1: going to win as signed jersey from Fernando Tatis Junior
Speaker 1: for winning this contest that is going on all season long.
Speaker 1: And you could do it over in the discord on
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pros, which is pretty cool. It's very fun contest,
Speaker 1: and I know Wonkee set this up for football as well,
Speaker 1: so I'm into it. I'm into it. Hopefully you guys
Speaker 1: are even more into it next year. And congratulations to
Speaker 1: the dudes that cannot reach Aaron Judge at this point,
Speaker 1: no one can reach Aaron Judge with what he's done
Speaker 1: in real life versus this to some bets. Mister Chris
Speaker 1: Clegg are boys over at bet MGM. They want to
Speaker 1: give a one thousand dollars risk pre bet to you
Speaker 1: or anybody if you're eligible where you can. All you
Speaker 1: got to do is use the promo code leading Off.
Speaker 1: Go and type it in, do the thing, put in
Speaker 1: the code, get your free bet. And I've said this
Speaker 1: a million times over. Bet MGM probably one of the
Speaker 1: best books. And I've used all the big major four.
Speaker 1: As far as what they give you an extras and
Speaker 1: free bets and bonuses, I don't even think they're matched.
Speaker 1: So go and check them out today. Support Fantasy pros
Speaker 1: and leading off by using the promo code leading Off.
Speaker 1: I got some bets for you, and I want to
Speaker 1: get your takes on them. The strikeout ones are really interesting.
Speaker 1: They didn't have a great day as far as what
Speaker 1: the algorithm of Fantasy pros uses its projections and it
Speaker 1: ties it into the props and it tells you, based
Speaker 1: on their projections, what are really good deals. And I
Speaker 1: do on this show is I'll give you like the
Speaker 1: very top of a category and then maybe the top
Speaker 1: plus money. And they've got they just didn't do well
Speaker 1: last yesterday, but let's see how they do today on
Speaker 1: the total basis. The number one bet of all bets
Speaker 1: is Paul Goldschmidt for one one base, that's all he
Speaker 1: needs a single and it's juiced up at minus one
Speaker 1: seventy against the Dodgers. He's projected at four and a half.
Speaker 1: That's a wild bet. I mean, playing it singly is
Speaker 1: just one of those comfortable moments for you of like,
Speaker 1: I'm getting bad odds as far as the juice is
Speaker 1: on it and minus one seventy, but you need one
Speaker 1: total base from Paul gold Schmith. Love it. And this
Speaker 1: is on DraftKings. The top plus money play is also
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals, and it's Paul de Young. He only
Speaker 1: needs one total base. He's projected at too, and that
Speaker 1: pays plus one twenty. On DraftKings. The two pitchers you've
Speaker 1: got Chris Bassett, who's projected at six strikeouts, is numbers
Speaker 1: at four and a half on bet MGM it's minus
Speaker 1: one fifty five, and Edward or Rodriguez is a plus
Speaker 1: money play at four and a half strikeouts versus the
Speaker 1: White Sock so Goldie, de Young, Bassett, Rodriguez, Cleig. Any
Speaker 1: of these you like? Do you hate them all? Do
Speaker 1: you love them all? What do you got?
Speaker 3: I mean, the Goldie one is, like you said, as
Speaker 3: safe as it can get. He mashes lefties the Dodgers
Speaker 3: rolling out Andrew Heeney tonight, so that seems like a
Speaker 3: pretty safe bet even with the juice. Like you said,
Speaker 3: not sure. I like the de Young one at all,
Speaker 3: Like he doesn't hit lefties. He hasn't really hit at
Speaker 3: all this year, so that one's kind of a no
Speaker 3: go for me, even at the plus money strike out
Speaker 3: once are interesting, obviously a pretty favorable matchup for the Mets,
Speaker 3: and in Bassett and e rod has just been such
Speaker 3: a wild card this year. It's just tough, really peg
Speaker 3: what he can do?
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: His last outing was also against the White Sox, and
Speaker 3: he struck out seven over six and a third with
Speaker 3: two earned runs, So that but to me, like that
Speaker 3: one's risky just because we haven't seen him go over
Speaker 3: or hit five very often this year. It's only been
Speaker 3: a couple of times, and he's been so inconsistent. So
Speaker 3: I feel like Bassett and the Goldie bets are are
Speaker 3: pretty good. Like, I feel like both those are pretty safe. Obviously,
Speaker 3: as you mentioned, they're juiced up, so it makes sense.
Speaker 1: The problem I have is like the plus I think
Speaker 1: a lot of the plus money plays, especially the top
Speaker 1: ones because again I'm giving you the top strikeout on
Speaker 1: the top total base, I think they're kind of just
Speaker 1: being like exposed to like just basic projections and putting
Speaker 1: it out. Like the best plus money plays are finding
Speaker 1: elite players and getting one and a half total bases
Speaker 1: all throughout the year. We've gotten plus money on guys
Speaker 1: like Jordan Alvarez at one and a half and stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm not playing those. Some of the best, though, are
Speaker 1: these one total bases that are juiced up. And I
Speaker 1: mean I am literally considering just unloading my entire account
Speaker 1: and putting it on the Goldschmidt one today to not
Speaker 1: even get that great of a return, But I just
Speaker 1: love it so much. I really like that one. Over
Speaker 1: on DraftKings. I'm sorry FanDuel for the DFS soide don't
Speaker 1: have the DraftKings numbers. Here's some pitching prices if you're
Speaker 1: going to DFS it today, your top dogs Garrett Call
Speaker 1: at ten six, Aaron Nolet at ten to three, show
Speaker 1: Heyo Tani's at ten one. I personally really like the
Speaker 1: Eronola one. If you want to get sneaky, Jeffrey Springs
Speaker 1: at seven to nine and Cody Morris at seven to eight,
Speaker 1: even though these are single pitcher ones, those might be
Speaker 1: two I would look at on the and I would
Speaker 1: just translate those to the DK side. If you want
Speaker 1: to have a really low rotation. Uh, I mean, I
Speaker 1: probably would do something like a Cody Morris and a
Speaker 1: Nola or something like that, or Jeffrey Springs and a
Speaker 1: Nola if I was putting them together. But I really
Speaker 1: like those prices. As far as the stacks go, the
Speaker 1: only over five implied run total teams were San Diego Milwaukee,
Speaker 1: but I also like Tampa Bay and Chicago White stock
Speaker 1: stats stacks if I'm putting them together. Obviously, Elevisanders has
Speaker 1: been really hot at the top. I'd mentioned Jonathan Ronda
Speaker 1: would be someone I would look at both leadoff hitters
Speaker 1: that I would be looking at for teams if I
Speaker 1: was looking to stack those guys together. If you're playing
Speaker 1: in some DFS home run calls for the weekend, Chris Klegg,
Speaker 1: are you gonna give us? Are you gonna give us
Speaker 1: an Atlanta Brave? Who are you gonna give us? Give
Speaker 1: us anybody of a Judge?
Speaker 2: I'm given.
Speaker 3: I'm given another record Chasers. Albert pooh Hooles love it night.
Speaker 3: Tonight's great a matchup against the lefty Heaney, Like, I
Speaker 3: really like the chances for a pooh Holes home run tonight.
Speaker 3: That would be awesome to see him hit it this
Speaker 3: weekend to get to seven hundred. We'll see, But I
Speaker 3: do like him to hit one tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I told you I mostioned him yesterday, so that
Speaker 1: means it's a guaranteed to go tonight. So Albert pool Holes,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Jordan Alvarez the Jordan Alvarez front.
Speaker 1: Last couple of days, he's been a little bit cool
Speaker 1: on the home run front, but I think that's gonna
Speaker 1: pick up today. I like the matchup we've got Joe
Speaker 1: with Judge. We've got Mayor with Raphael Devers and Walkee
Speaker 1: has got Paul gold Schmith. Has there ever been a
Speaker 1: time to feel even better? Not only do we have
Speaker 1: a one total base bet on Paul gold Schmith, but
Speaker 1: we've got Wonky behind it with a home run call. Yes,
Speaker 1: and please, I thank you very much. Let's end the
Speaker 1: show with this real quick, because I caught this late.
Speaker 1: I just want to get your take on this because
Speaker 1: I think it's a great question. I didn't want to
Speaker 1: interrupt until we save it to the end. We obviously
Speaker 1: put a focus on Jared Kellnick. I'll probably mayor have
Speaker 1: this be the artwork of the episode because kel Nick
Speaker 1: did a little bit. But your take Jared Kelnick versus
Speaker 1: Joe Adele as we leave the show, who would you
Speaker 1: rather bet on for next season? Joe Adele or Jared Kelnick?
Speaker 3: Oh Man, crazy enough, I think probably kill Nick. Adele's
Speaker 3: just been a huge disappointment kind of all around, and
Speaker 3: you know, neither have been good from a contact standpoint,
Speaker 3: And really I felt like that Adele was the tools
Speaker 3: of your player. He still may be, but we just
Speaker 3: really haven't seen it. So man, I think it's pretty crazy,
Speaker 3: but I'm actually leaning with kell Nick kind.
Speaker 1: Of think I am too. I mean, I'm I'm worried
Speaker 1: the Adele stuff is beyond repair. I really truly believe
Speaker 1: Jared kell Nick needs a new destination. I think he
Speaker 1: needs a reset. I'd like him to go to a
Speaker 1: place that really has a focus as far as hitting goes.
Speaker 1: I would like a really locked in hitting coach and
Speaker 1: maybe some tutoring going on, you know, I mean, not
Speaker 1: that it means anything, but like I was around the
Speaker 1: Mariners a whole lot in the in spring training, and
Speaker 1: you know, he was around guys like Winker in them,
Speaker 1: but I don't really see them ever. Talk like you
Speaker 1: would love almost like the Philly situation. You would love
Speaker 1: a guy like a Bryce Harper to be there to
Speaker 1: work and tutor some of the young guys like he's
Speaker 1: done with Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm. I'd like for
Speaker 1: him to go to destination where he had someone that could, like,
Speaker 1: actually want to and really work with him. I don't
Speaker 1: know it would change anything, but if I were making
Speaker 1: a bet, I also would go with kill Nick over Adele.
Speaker 1: But you know, at this point you might be better
Speaker 1: with Jonathan rand Over both of them, Like I mentioned.
Speaker 3: Right, it's probably worth noting that the Angels aren't even
Speaker 3: playing Adele every day at this point, and I mean,
Speaker 3: they have nothing to play for, like they should be
Speaker 3: trying to develop these guys, but Mickey Moniac's getting run instead.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if that tells you what how
Speaker 3: they feel about Adele, but kind of seems that way
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 1: I think it does. I think it does, and it'll
Speaker 1: be fun to follow, Friendoz. That is the episode. Thank
Speaker 1: you to the Peanuts and cracker Jacks for everybody that's
Speaker 1: hanging out. Guess what. As far as I know, next
Speaker 1: week is it? Next week is all that we've got.
Speaker 1: It'll be the final Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, unless
Speaker 1: unless Fantasy Bros. Decides to do something different into the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I think this is all that you're going to get
Speaker 1: of me into next week. And this was all that
Speaker 1: we got of Chris Clegg unless you know, a bald
Speaker 1: guy doesn't show up as far as I've seen on
Speaker 1: the schedule, Clig, what do you got going on? What's
Speaker 1: going down in your world?
Speaker 2: Not so much, man, It's trying to grind out.
Speaker 3: The end of the season finished strong in leagues and
Speaker 3: producing content still so so this is my favorite time
Speaker 3: of the year, at least early in the off season
Speaker 3: for Dynasty and Prospect stuff. Just really digging in and
Speaker 3: you know, doing film studies and the Prospect eval. So
Speaker 3: my favorite time of the year and gearing up to
Speaker 3: God's Arizona hang out with you and all the dudes
Speaker 3: at the AFL.
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to that asking me.
Speaker 1: Again, see you be seeing you in about five weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it'll be so much fun. Brendos. That is the episode.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys, as always for Chris Cleig, I am
Speaker 1: Chris Welsh. It's late off and we're out of here.
Speaker 1: He's friends
