Speaker 2: off Live. It is me, Joey p Jope's a here
Speaker 2: with me. Of course is the wotion, and it's all
Speaker 2: of you, my Peanuts and cracker Jacks hanging out talking
Speaker 2: a little baseball. We finally got the call up we've
Speaker 2: been waiting for. We've got a ton of injuries to
Speaker 2: talk about, a couple of big strikeout performances. But first and.
Speaker 3: Foremost, it's somebody's birthday. It's the birthday, hey boy, the
Speaker 3: Welsh turning twenty nine. I can only assume happy birthday,
Speaker 3: big guy. What are you doing on your special day?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: It's going to be sending you a bad letter for
Speaker 4: calling me big guy. That's at the top, the tippy
Speaker 4: top of the insults you can call someone that is
Speaker 4: big and tall. But yes, thank you very much. I
Speaker 4: think I even mentioned this greatest birthday present, Nick Kurtz
Speaker 4: coming to the majors, making his major league debut on
Speaker 4: my birthday. I couldn't ask for anything more. Also going
Speaker 4: up against Patrick Corbyn, which will be hilarious, just in
Speaker 4: full tow. But thank you very much, my friends. Glad
Speaker 4: to spend my birthday.
Speaker 2: With all of you. Yes, my Twitter timeline exploded all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, everyone from the show just sending me
Speaker 2: and tweeting at me Nick Kurtz, Nick Kurtz, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I hadn't looked at it in a while. I was
Speaker 2: at practice, flag football stuff. I got big tournament this weekend,
Speaker 2: and when I checked after, oh boy, that was some fun,
Speaker 2: exciting news. So that was great to see. We sort
Speaker 2: of talked about it yesterday. I'm prospecting with the Welsh
Speaker 2: is that it's got to be this week. It has
Speaker 2: to be this week. Enough is enough. We were right.
Speaker 2: Thank god that video came out yesterday. Yeah, and uh,
Speaker 2: here we go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think. I mean it was like it
Speaker 4: would have been really irrelevant quick, but it was a
Speaker 4: good litmus test on the prospects. I think we have
Speaker 4: been hitting it very well for a couple of years,
Speaker 4: especially in the logical breakdowns across the board, and this
Speaker 4: was one of them. It's like, we were like, how
Speaker 4: can he get there? The only way that Nick Kurtz
Speaker 4: can get there, and he will is by Brent Rooker
Speaker 4: going in the outfield. Then he goes in the outfield,
Speaker 4: and that first day everyone's like, oh, it's just a
Speaker 4: dig off else and then it's more and more and
Speaker 4: we got there. It was literally it was the way
Speaker 4: to do it. The timeline makes sense. We got there,
Speaker 4: Nick Kurtz saving it for the birthday. It's beautiful and
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna put you guys always in a
Speaker 4: really good spot for these prospects. Bubba Chandler will be
Speaker 4: the next one we obsess over and that will come soon.
Speaker 4: But left hand left the action tonight, So hold your
Speaker 4: expectations a tiny bit. This is gonna be a tough one.
Speaker 4: Apparently Patrick Corbin has Spider Man like power after being
Speaker 4: bit by the Did you see that story when you
Speaker 4: were gone that.
Speaker 2: No, Arica saw nothing.
Speaker 4: And Arica and I bet against him, of course because
Speaker 4: it's Patrick Corbyn. And yeah, he looked like Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 4: We found out after the game. Before the game he
Speaker 4: could barely walk because he got bit by a venomous spider.
Speaker 4: Patrick Corban did and he was he threw out like
Speaker 4: this amazing game. So I don't know, we'll see Nick
Speaker 4: Kurtz might need to. You know, we are venom.
Speaker 2: We are Nick. Yeah, fight Spider Man or spider bites
Speaker 2: around here. Well, happy birthday my friend. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: there it is there, It is there, it is yikes.
Speaker 2: Uh that looks painful.
Speaker 4: I just want to say, yeah, but it gave him
Speaker 4: his powers, so he's spider Man. Nick Kurtz will be venom.
Speaker 2: He better get a ton of spiders. Though it's a
Speaker 2: long season. He's gonna have to figure this out long
Speaker 2: last And uh, Patrick Corbyn, I'll still bet against him.
Speaker 2: But before we get to more headlines, I see the
Speaker 2: question is filing up. I love all the birthday. Love
Speaker 2: that Welsh's game here in the comments, that's fantastic. And

Speaker 2: the belts of the Ghost Dings, you don't miss a
Speaker 2: moment of content, and we can let you know if

Speaker 2: Mad Max Max Meyer. What a performance. Fourteen strikeouts, six
Speaker 2: scoreless against the Reds. Era is at two ten as
Speaker 2: whip is at one point zero seven. This is the
Speaker 2: prince we were promised years ago. We waited so long
Speaker 2: for Max Meyer. But this outing Welsh, this one is
Speaker 2: going to put him in a whole different conversation because
Speaker 2: we've got, you know, questions here, here's JD. I've been
Speaker 2: using Meyer as my streamer. Now I know to keep
Speaker 2: him in and use a different bitcher in that spot.
Speaker 2: I agree, you have to leave him in there, Ober,
Speaker 2: Buobich Wesnsky. I don't know which one you prefer today
Speaker 2: of that grouping. I know Ober and Boombage on the mount,
Speaker 2: but you can pick the streamer. But let's talk about
Speaker 2: Max Meyer Welsh because he is now looking like the
Speaker 2: ace that that's what scouts were telling us he was
Speaker 2: going to become before all the injuries, before all the mismanagement.
Speaker 2: Now he has officially arrived. I feel like after last night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I completely agree. I was actually watching this one
Speaker 4: live on my my personal twitch, the in this league
Speaker 4: twitch and because I had the Nurfy, so we were,
Speaker 4: you know, we were kind of sweating that out with
Speaker 4: Nicolodolo and Max. I love to sweat a good Nurfy, yeah,
Speaker 4: everyone does, especially on a birthday. But Meyer early on
Speaker 4: looked devastating. His slider looked absolutely devastating. Just yeah, there's
Speaker 4: just one in the first inning that it was just
Speaker 4: this early bite down low in the zone, and then
Speaker 4: when we look back on it, this is actually crazy.
Speaker 4: His four seam fastball, of the five pitches he threw yesterday,
Speaker 4: was the lowest usage of any pitch. His sinker was
Speaker 4: the third, you a third lowest usage, sixty four percent
Speaker 4: slider in changeup. He went secondaries on this. He induced
Speaker 4: twenty four whiffs. Mackenzie Gore. I think as a season
Speaker 4: leader with twenty eight in a game so far, Velo
Speaker 4: was up on the secondaries, down a little bit on
Speaker 4: the fastball. He had this. Wow, this is crazy. I
Speaker 4: didn't even see this. Seventy six percent with rate on
Speaker 4: his slider. Sixteen of twenty one swings were guys swinging
Speaker 4: through his slider, which is absolutely absurd. Forty percent on
Speaker 4: the change up, fifty percent on the sweeper. He's doing
Speaker 4: what any great pitcher does, is you take that fastball,
Speaker 4: you hit it in the zone when you can. And
Speaker 4: I think he ended up having yeah, eighty nine percent
Speaker 4: zone rate on his four team, seventy five on his sinker,
Speaker 4: and then you kill him with secondaries, and that is
Speaker 4: exactly what happened here. He is a big time strikeout pitcher.
Speaker 4: His command was as best as I've ever seen. It's
Speaker 4: one of the best outings I've ever seen. His pitch
Speaker 4: mix was impeccable. I think I agree here. Max Meyer
Speaker 4: moves way up that list. I think he's in the
Speaker 4: territory of like the McKinsey Gore, where I'm saying mackenzy
Speaker 4: Gore is like a top thirty thirty five type of
Speaker 4: sp I think Max Meyer is in that same general range.
Speaker 4: And shout out to that segment we did on Fantasy
Speaker 4: Fest with Lance Brasdowski where he was talking up some
Speaker 4: of those Marlins pitchers and Max Meyer being one of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He also talked to Edward Cabrera. Yeah. H Not everything's.
Speaker 4: A winner, Joe. Not everything.
Speaker 2: Not everything is a winner. But Max Meyer certainly was.
Speaker 2: For sure. Did he get a bit by a spider?
Speaker 2: That's the only question, I might be. Whatever's going around,
Speaker 2: that's good. Walker Bueller was also good. One run, seven innings,
Speaker 2: struck out nine. Love that Patriots to day morning Baseball
Speaker 2: brunch in Baseball, Oh, hate it, hate it.
Speaker 4: It was like it was like halfway over before I
Speaker 4: will cup. I don't like that stuff.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, East Coasters goes bias is ridiculous. Heat
Speaker 2: goes bias into hayuesh see my Vest, see my Vest.
Speaker 2: Will Detroit's new closer actually be the guy here? Will
Speaker 2: Vest second? Save here pitch the ninth Monday against the Padres.
Speaker 2: So is Will Vest officially the new closer of the
Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 4: I'm not one hundred percent sure. They seem to have
Speaker 4: an easy rotation across the board. I think will right now,
Speaker 4: will Ves does look relatively ridiculous. It's a sub one era,
Speaker 4: a point six y two whip. He's probably going to
Speaker 4: get multiple opportunities here. His walks are a little high.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have to see if that kind of ends
Speaker 4: up blowing up. I would say right now, Will Vest
Speaker 4: is a really good like closing streamer to jump in
Speaker 4: on that. He might hold down the gig. But I
Speaker 4: do think it's a turnstile with the Tigers. I think
Speaker 4: it's like, oh, if he doesn't have it, they're going
Speaker 4: to go somewhere else. But yeah, at this point, there's
Speaker 4: not We're out of the like heavy investment inclosers or
Speaker 4: speculative closers that are out there, like, oh, this guy's
Speaker 4: kind of getting like everyone's picked up everybody. There are
Speaker 4: no pegans. And there's no Justin Martinez is and no
Speaker 4: Luke Jackson's. There really is nobody. So we really have
Speaker 4: to start playing the the setup game the eighth inning guys.
Speaker 4: You know, people are talking about yoho, who's getting picked
Speaker 4: up by the bruis, Like you gotta you gotta play
Speaker 4: the eighth inning guys for speculative saves. This is not
Speaker 4: so I would go pick up the will of vests?
Speaker 2: Uh trick, quick trivia question here for you. Welh, what
Speaker 2: was mister Burns's vest made out of? In the famous
Speaker 2: see My Vest song, My vest, see my vest made
Speaker 2: Is that real?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 2: Come on?
Speaker 4: Is that from the Simpsons?
Speaker 2: Yes? See my Vest as a classic episode.
Speaker 4: Probably made out of like children's tears or something.
Speaker 2: Come on, let's go.
Speaker 4: I have no idea, Jackson.
Speaker 2: You guys know it. Put the trivia question out there.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, let's get some real questions out here
Speaker 2: we have. Is Max the new Ace of Miami? Maybe
Speaker 2: perhaps he is? Uh, let's get to this one too.
Speaker 2: I want to say, is Christian Walker, who we're going
Speaker 2: to talk about in the Buy Sell video today. We're
Speaker 2: going to record that right after the show, so be
Speaker 2: on the Lookout subscribe to the YouTube channel. Christian Walker
Speaker 2: is somebody dropped on Waivers, which is horrendously stupid. So
Speaker 2: who would you drop to, Adam, Nimo or Dominguez.
Speaker 4: I would drop up. I probably dropped Neimo. I guess
Speaker 4: I don't think I can get Yeah, I mean, well,
Speaker 4: let mean let me let me look at Diminga's like
Speaker 4: verse second. I mean, Nemo's fine. I think it's relatively average,
Speaker 4: but kind of Dimingas is as well. But there's just
Speaker 4: like even higher stolen based probability. Yeah, Dominga is over
Speaker 4: thirty percent k percentage right now, he's pretty mediocre. If
Speaker 4: this is a ten team league for track record, Yeah,
Speaker 4: but if it's a ten team league, like I think
Speaker 4: you could probably drop all these guys that Nimo actually
Speaker 4: probably is the least of them. Since you can turn
Speaker 4: style it, I'm pretty optimistic that Christian Walker is going
Speaker 4: to be able to bounce back from this. But things
Speaker 4: are looking pretty bad right now. He's super streak.
Speaker 2: It's fine, he's turning it around. Here's one question, Happy
Speaker 2: birthday Welsh Jordan and story for Corbyn Carroll. What side
Speaker 2: you want to be on to this one?
Speaker 4: Corbyn Carroll I'm actually going to talk about the potentials
Speaker 4: of selling Trevor's story, and obviously like he's going off
Speaker 4: and crazy, but you know, if you're gonna even ever
Speaker 4: think and consider to move a guy like Mike Trout,
Speaker 4: you should consider moving a guy like Trevor story who
Speaker 4: is always hurt, always always hurt. It's a decent return.
Speaker 4: But if I were selling Corbyn Carroll right now, I
Speaker 4: would want more than Jordon because Carol's Carrol's like plate
Speaker 4: change is massive. I mean, like the way if you
Speaker 4: look at some of the underlying batting stance data, like
Speaker 4: he's gotten closer to the plate, which is allowing him
Speaker 4: to barrel quicker. He is a monster. Yeah, he's like
Speaker 4: an NL Aaron Judge right now. But at five foot ten,
Speaker 4: So I mean, I think Corbn Carroll's on completely never
Speaker 4: another level that he's locked into. He's a top three
Speaker 4: to four fantasy option on the sea, So I would
Speaker 4: need a lot more.
Speaker 2: Stefan d got it. Gorilla chest see my vest. See
Speaker 2: my vest made for a real gorilla chest. That's hilarious.
Speaker 2: Is an all time great episode. I love this, sir.
Speaker 2: Old School Simpsons was great.
Speaker 4: I haven't watched Simpsons a million too forever?
Speaker 2: Are they every now and then? Recently I've been popping
Speaker 2: on some of the new ones just to see, like,
Speaker 2: where's it at? Still pretty solid? Like I gotta say
Speaker 2: it's it's surprisingly decent. Tyler McGill was surprisingly decent too.
Speaker 2: He got into trouble in the second inning, but you
Speaker 2: know he hasn't given up a run in the first
Speaker 2: or second inning all year. So far, he had ten strikeouts,
Speaker 2: a career high five and a third shutout innings. Boy
Speaker 2: oh boy, that slap nut sewn together. Mets pitching staff's
Speaker 2: been pretty good.
Speaker 4: I am one of the best in baseball right now.
Speaker 4: Er a wise like incredible?
Speaker 2: What are the best in baseball? For a lot for
Speaker 2: the first three weeks? I don't know if they still
Speaker 2: are at that mark, but yesterday went a long way
Speaker 2: for it. Now. In that same game, I did watch
Speaker 2: Aaron Nola who continues to struggle six and the third
Speaker 2: innings for him. Now, we've seen this before where Aaron
Speaker 2: Nola can have some bad months and bad stretches. This
Speaker 2: is always what keeps Aaron Nola away from being a
Speaker 2: top end fantasy starter. He has typically a bad month
Speaker 2: every year somewhere. Sometimes it's early, sometimes its later. The
Speaker 2: FIP right now is a four eight nine. He's got
Speaker 2: six four to three one six to one whip. But
Speaker 2: the strikeout to walk ratio is right there, thirty one strikeouts,
Speaker 2: eleven walks. Just he continues to look like he's just
Speaker 2: not comfortable right now, so it doesn't look like injuries,
Speaker 2: seems like the velocity's okay. Everything seems alright with Aaron Nola.
Speaker 2: I think this is your typical Aaron Nola just hasn't
Speaker 2: found that feel and when he hits that groove and
Speaker 2: I know it, he then becomes one of these unhittable
Speaker 2: guys for a good six week stretch, I'd be looking
Speaker 2: to buy him. We're gonna talk more about him on
Speaker 2: the video as well. Are you where I am? When
Speaker 2: it comes to Aaronola too? Where you just feel like
Speaker 2: this is an opportunity and it's real tough to get
Speaker 2: a quality starting picture, especially one is durable as Aaron Nola.
Speaker 2: He has been super durable over the years too.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think it's innings and durability that are interesting
Speaker 4: and that he's really really struggling. From the profile perspective,
Speaker 4: he is doing something kind of weird that he's lowered,
Speaker 4: so he's always like a curve guy, knuckle curve, kind
Speaker 4: of like Zach Allen, but he's going sinker over for seam,
Speaker 4: but his sinker oh no, no, okay, so these both
Speaker 4: have never mind, they both decreased in Velo, So he's
Speaker 4: lost about a mile prour on Velo across the board,
Speaker 4: which is definitely something to watch. But I do think
Speaker 4: there's kind of a feel perspective on it, and maybe
Speaker 4: he just doesn't have the curve where he wants and
Speaker 4: it's getting hit pretty hard that the expected batting average
Speaker 4: is lower, but there's just a lot of barreling, a
Speaker 4: lot of contact, and looking at previous years, he does
Speaker 4: have some weird early first half splits. But last year
Speaker 4: May and April he was one of the best pitchers
Speaker 4: in Baseball Sub three Era. Then in June it fell apart.
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty three, that was a better representation. He
Speaker 4: had an over four ERA all the way through July
Speaker 4: and then he kind of bounced back. I think if
Speaker 4: you can get him on the cheap simply because of
Speaker 4: team context and him going deep into game, that's great.
Speaker 4: But I'm not sure he's going to be like a
Speaker 4: fantasy ace. He's not to do a Blake Snell where
Speaker 4: first half he's the worst pitcher, second half he's the
Speaker 4: best pitcher in all of baseball. But I do think
Speaker 4: he is a he's a bye all right.
Speaker 2: Some transactions yesterday Welsh, which you don't get a lot
Speaker 2: of these necessarily. We've got a bunch in one day.
Speaker 2: The Cubs acquired Drew Pomerans. That was a name that
Speaker 2: kind of hit me, you know, upside the head sideways
Speaker 2: there for cash considerations for the Mariners. Like there's an
Speaker 2: agent I haven't thought of in a long time.
Speaker 4: I saw him in camp with the Mariners a couple of.
Speaker 2: Times years the Marique, but that's where they bought him from.
Speaker 2: They bought themselves a nice Pomerans. The twenty twenty one
Speaker 2: Pomerans gets good gas mileage. I don't know what they're
Speaker 2: gonna do with him.
Speaker 4: We'll see no CD Blair or anything like that. And
Speaker 4: you have to roll up the windows yourself, and you
Speaker 4: know what it's efficient.
Speaker 2: Well, the Cubs are looking for pitching help obviously anywhere
Speaker 2: they can get it, and Tristan McKenzie got designated for
Speaker 2: assignment by the Guardians. Now that's interesting to me if
Speaker 2: you're the Cubs, because why not take a flyer and see, like,
Speaker 2: maybe you can get him into your organization. Maybe there's
Speaker 2: something you could work with, maybe just a fresh start.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I would look to see what
Speaker 2: happens with that one. I don't know if he's just
Speaker 2: going to end up taking that assignment a the end
Speaker 2: of the day, my guess if somebody will claim him
Speaker 2: and the deal will be worked out. The diamondback sent
Speaker 2: Jake McCarthy down to triple A. He's hitting zero seventy
Speaker 2: three on the ear, no Homer's three rebies, one steal
Speaker 2: through fourteen games. He's been dreadful. And it's funny, Welsh,
Speaker 2: you were always an anti McCarthy guy, not just in
Speaker 2: the fifties during the Senate hearings and all that stuff,
Speaker 2: but also during Jake McCarthy's career. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: Jake oush she became useful and then now he is
Speaker 2: backed out. So what's it like to be right on
Speaker 2: the back end here after Jake McCarthy kind of stuck
Speaker 2: a tea in twenty twenty four A little.
Speaker 4: Bits, Yeah, I mean, I guess the long term, it
Speaker 4: feels good. He's been dreadful. I actually mentioned this yesterday
Speaker 4: on the Prospecting with the Welsh video and that was
Speaker 4: in tow to Jordan Lawler. Jordan Lawler is one of
Speaker 4: the hottest minor leaguers out there, and even said that
Speaker 4: one thing you would like to see is maybe Jake
Speaker 4: McCarthy go away and then you could start moving some
Speaker 4: pieces around where you know, if Lawler was playing the outfield,
Speaker 4: it make a little bit more sense. But word came
Speaker 4: out John Gambadoro, who actually used to work with they
Speaker 4: used to work for him in Phoenix Radio, big local
Speaker 4: Phoenix guy. He because there's been no information about what
Speaker 4: that move is going to be, he reports that it's
Speaker 4: Jorge Barosa that is going to be coming up, which
Speaker 4: is a huge disappointment that Tim Tawa and Jorge Barosa
Speaker 4: are still options before Jordan Lawler because this would have
Speaker 4: been the time he has been a freaking monster. But
Speaker 4: McCarthy's going down, they're bringing another outfielder up, which again
Speaker 4: I just don't think you really need to because you've
Speaker 4: got Gurriel, You've got Gritchick, you've got Carol Like you've
Speaker 4: got the pieces. I would have loved to see Jordan
Speaker 4: Lawler come up. It doesn't look like it's going to happen.
Speaker 4: And McCarthy he's going to have to try to get
Speaker 4: it figured out like Alec Thomas did because he's a big,
Speaker 4: stolen based guy, lots of contact, great defense, but none
Speaker 4: of those things are playing together this year. So Jorge
Speaker 4: Barosa not a fantasy option.
Speaker 2: Last transaction Logan Henderson option to triple A, which we
Speaker 2: kind of knew was coming, but he will be back.
Speaker 2: He pitched incredibly well in that first start, Logan Hender
Speaker 2: and we'll make more starts. So if somebody drops him,
Speaker 2: this is your opportunity to pick him up. With rookie. Lookie,
Speaker 2: Augustine Martinez two for three in his debut with a
Speaker 2: double on and of steel. Did you see any highlights
Speaker 2: of the Augustine Martinez.
Speaker 4: I saw some highlights of that big Martinez Ramirez. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Augustine Ramirez. There's an Alex Ramirez. It was with the Mets,
Speaker 4: but yeah, Augustin Ramirez with that smash to center, it
Speaker 4: was like a ground rule double. It's very, very impressive.
Speaker 4: And that was the thing I told you guys when
Speaker 4: I brought him up, and he's a catcher that steals bases,
Speaker 4: steals a base in his first one, and he hits
Speaker 4: the ball consistently. The big question is going to be
Speaker 4: at the major league level. How is he going to
Speaker 4: be as far as a batter? Is he going to
Speaker 4: strike out a bunch? Is he going to get hit
Speaker 4: with a bunch of secondaries? This game, he showed off
Speaker 4: when things are clicking who he is, and that's why
Speaker 4: he's a two catcher option that we mentioned, not a
Speaker 4: single catcher. But you know what, if it's a deep
Speaker 4: league and you guys like to carry second catchers, maybe
Speaker 4: you do get a look at him because I think
Speaker 4: he's going to play his way on very fantasy relevant.
Speaker 4: Two hits, a stolen base, ridiculous on the catchers, you
Speaker 4: gotta love it. You gotta love the prospect catcher's paying off.
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly one that has got a little speed there.
Speaker 2: So we'll all keep an eye on Augustine Ramirez and
Speaker 2: make sure that he is added in some leagues. I
Speaker 2: did a video on him yesterday, yet I still screwed
Speaker 2: up his name today because why I've got NFL draft brain.
Speaker 2: That's why. Because this is my this is my week
Speaker 2: where things go a little little sideways. But the draft
Speaker 2: coverage is gonna be great here on Fancy Pros. Make
Speaker 2: sure you watch. It's gonna be super fun. Bogman ericson myself,
Speaker 2: and of course Debro, Derek Brown, the King of Bros.
Speaker 2: They're all gonna be on here on Fancy Pros, regular channel,
Speaker 2: not the MLB one. Jerry and a couple other people
Speaker 2: asking about the Yoho pickup. Is that something you're looking
Speaker 2: to do. We're talking about saves. Is this another way
Speaker 2: we want to go or now?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm torn on this. You don't often see.
Speaker 2: Like a terrier Yoho. That sounds painful.
Speaker 4: I don't either. I'm old now, I'm very old. I
Speaker 4: can't afford to.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say your every birthday. You're getting closer
Speaker 2: and closer to Tier now.
Speaker 4: Joe almost stared as Yoho during the during the home It's.
Speaker 2: Still a little story. At practice yesterday I was able
Speaker 2: to throw footballs. That was okay. But you know, I
Speaker 2: will say this, I did get that that lighter metal
Speaker 2: bat around pretty good.
Speaker 4: Yeah you did. By the way. Also, we we played
Speaker 4: the kids. We did adult old people versus the kids.
Speaker 4: A little football and we destroyed as we should.
Speaker 2: Just as we should. There, MICHAELA was working at a
Speaker 2: bit of a deficit. Uh throw it. I think at
Speaker 2: some point, you know, like.
Speaker 4: She had a couple of touchdowns to my kids, so that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your yeah, your your son was picking up the
Speaker 2: slack there. My young because he's a soccer player. He
Speaker 2: has a no using his hands catching footballs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, back on the yo host So on the Yo
Speaker 4: Hoo's side. I don't think it's quite often that you're
Speaker 4: going to see like a prospect pitcher as good as
Speaker 4: Yoho is to come in and just take over like
Speaker 4: some closer role. I tend to think he's going to
Speaker 4: be putting some especial because you gotta remember, is Pat
Speaker 4: Murphy like Pat Murphy old school manager. I think you're
Speaker 4: going to get lower leverage situations for him. So if
Speaker 4: you want, you can speculate on it. I would, I
Speaker 4: personally would probably speculate on Shelby Miller before he did
Speaker 4: with him, because Puck we're gonna probably find out today
Speaker 4: Justin Martinez was having general soreness why he didn't get
Speaker 4: a save, and Shelby Miller has been relatively phenomenal this
Speaker 4: year with the fastball, and there's no Ginkle, So I
Speaker 4: think that Shelby Miller could get saves this week before Yoho,
Speaker 4: but long a long term option. He could be a
Speaker 4: guy that jumps into the rotation. I just don't think
Speaker 4: off the shoot.
Speaker 2: I can't believe we talked about Shelby Miller and Drew
Speaker 2: Pomeranz on the show today. I did not have that
Speaker 2: on my Bengo card game. Oval wants to know why
Speaker 2: is gun Thro trying to kill Pat McAfee. I don't know,
Speaker 2: but I'm glad he is. It made me. That's the
Speaker 2: happiest thing that I've seen.
Speaker 4: Why do you not like Pat McAfee.
Speaker 2: You know, I was Actually he was okay in the beginning.
Speaker 2: I liked him in the XT and all that stuff
Speaker 2: that he did. I give him a credit for getting
Speaker 2: in the ring. I know he trained and everything like that.
Speaker 2: But at some point it just got too much and
Speaker 2: he just doesn't know when to let it breathe. And
Speaker 2: he keeps doing that stupid pencil flip every time he's
Speaker 2: on camera. It's super annoying. Guntherer choked him out on Raw,
Speaker 2: which was the best role at WrestleMania in years knew
Speaker 2: in this ring podcast I just recorded, just dropped thanks
Speaker 2: to the well she just uploaded for me. But that
Speaker 2: made me pop. I was very excited for that. He
Speaker 2: choked him out. He turned blue last night. It was crazy. Uh,
Speaker 2: not a hater. I'm just done. I just don't want
Speaker 2: him on my wrestling anymore.
Speaker 4: It was the best WrestleMania post WrestleMania Raw following the
Speaker 4: worst WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: That wasn't the worst WrestleMania. It was a mid well
Speaker 2: you'll hear my breakdown of it. It was a mid
Speaker 2: level WrestleMania that was bound to happen after the iconic
Speaker 2: WrestleMania that we got last year. Resolemia, that's kind of.
Speaker 2: It was some good moments, a couple good moments here,
Speaker 2: a couple of fun moments there, one great match over
Speaker 2: two nights that was it also great. By the way,

Speaker 2: was great, seven scoreless, struck out nine guys yesterday against
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays. Francisco Lindor two for three, two homers,
Speaker 2: including a leadoff homer to start the game. Got a
Speaker 2: little my girl at the top, little singing. Next thing
Speaker 2: you know, boom, home runs happening. And I love this,
Speaker 2: this new version of the Mets that owns the Phillies.
Speaker 2: I just right in the fields. It's just in the
Speaker 2: cockles of my heart, so warm. Gavin Williams two run, ball,
Speaker 2: six and a third, he went out eight in a
Speaker 2: win over the Yankees. Go for it.
Speaker 4: Well, he was amazing. That was another one that I
Speaker 4: was locked into. I was really really surprised. Unfortunately, stupid
Speaker 4: dummy here was on the Yankee side and that was
Speaker 4: going well for a little bit until until they crank
Speaker 4: that homer. But Gavin Williams looked phenomenal, really interesting, weird
Speaker 4: mix of how that fastball he touched one hundred ninety
Speaker 4: nine one hundred consistently. It's just very flatlined fastball, but
Speaker 4: you know it comes in from an angle. But then
Speaker 4: that sweeper, that sweeper, he was just dinking it. I
Speaker 4: was very, very impressed with what we saw from Gavin Williams.
Speaker 4: It looked like that version from spring training and he
Speaker 4: probably just needed a couple of games to find some consistency.
Speaker 4: Yankee definitely strike out a bit, but I thought it
Speaker 4: was it was a very very good good sighting and
Speaker 4: good showing for a guy if maybe he's available out
Speaker 4: there to pick up.
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong. Gavin Williams was, I think
Speaker 2: on week one of our by lows, because he got
Speaker 2: out of the gate a little rickety, and we said, look.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it had been like four starts that were
Speaker 4: really bad. It was this questioning a lot, but we
Speaker 4: were oh, maybe.
Speaker 2: Right away after the first two starts. I'm almost positive
Speaker 2: I want to say it was the second, maybe the
Speaker 2: it might've been the first. Of the trade videos because
Speaker 2: I don't think we did won that first week. I
Speaker 2: think of the first of the trade wheels in week two,
Speaker 2: the full week where it was at Gavin Williams. I
Speaker 2: am right now. This is probably your only window. So
Speaker 2: if you listened that he did, you're in good shape.
Speaker 2: I want to shout out jays Dang, first time listening live.
Speaker 2: I listened every single day on my way to work.
Speaker 2: You guys are awesome. I don't know Jay's taking a
Speaker 2: day off from work. I don't know what they're doing,
Speaker 2: but thank you for joining us live. We're appreciate Earth today, Joe.
Speaker 4: It's not just my birthday. It's Earth Day.
Speaker 2: It's Earth Day, it's Welsh Day.
Speaker 4: Any other day you didn't even to You didn't even mention.
Speaker 4: By the way, yeah, I'll mention that. But we we
Speaker 4: are back in. We have a hatchet. A listener send
Speaker 4: this to me. It's like the what a Burger Texas
Speaker 4: Frisco hat.
Speaker 2: And it was had a what a Burger? I got
Speaker 2: miss you.
Speaker 4: Missed out when you were here. That's that's that's a
Speaker 4: big that's the one.
Speaker 2: Youngest wanted to try the cans chicken because that's also
Speaker 2: not by us. And oh really been craving to try
Speaker 2: the cane sauce, which we did. We even bought the
Speaker 2: big vat of cane sauce, which did not disappoint. I
Speaker 2: gotta say the canes, well.
Speaker 4: What burger would not disappoint either. But the hat collection
Speaker 4: is starting back up. Someone asked me earlier, what's the
Speaker 4: number one hat? I would probably want to get back
Speaker 4: the uh, the Hillsboro hops beeause that's the one the
Speaker 4: dog really ate. So we're getting back the hat collection.
Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, We're going to try to build it back.
Speaker 4: Let's do it. Oh yeah, maybe it's Corpus Christie, I said,
Speaker 4: Frisco Corpus Christy. But also shout out to some of
Speaker 4: the new people we had crunch on the follow mctunda
Speaker 4: subscribed our boy, mctunda subscribing og.
Speaker 2: What it took you so long? Mctunda, what are you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 4: We had Peter Coole's and mctonda both subscribe with prime.
Speaker 4: We are now three away, friends, three away from hitting
Speaker 4: our goal in April one hundred subs, So.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys for doing three more subscribe. Hang out
Speaker 2: with us, Jay, don't get fired at work, by the way,
Speaker 2: for listening live, So that's bad idea. Don't get fired
Speaker 2: at work. There was a question here I wanted to
Speaker 2: find Where was it It was about man Manzardo or Simpson.
Speaker 2: I can't find it right now, but I do remember
Speaker 2: seeing it that I thought it was interesting. It was
Speaker 2: a category league and my initial reaction is Manzarto is
Speaker 2: the guy you want of those two. But I understand
Speaker 2: Simpson might be so good at that single thing of
Speaker 2: stealing bases that he might have just a different sort
Speaker 2: of value. Maybe it's roster dependent. Do you have any
Speaker 2: input on that one. I'm trying to find yes. P.
Speaker 2: Five That the question Manzarch Yes.
Speaker 4: The exact question you said, Manzardo or pick up Simpson
Speaker 4: twelve team Cats. So here's the only thing that I'm
Speaker 4: positive about with Chandler Simpsons. It's actually not just one category.
Speaker 4: It's going to be three categories because one thing we
Speaker 4: saw on his debut he let off, and if you're
Speaker 4: gonna have opportunities where he leads off, that's going to
Speaker 4: push the runs. So there's a couple guys. It's it's
Speaker 4: shades of like what we talked about with like a
Speaker 4: Victor Scott or a few of these other players where
Speaker 4: it's like you're going to get batting average with him,
Speaker 4: we are going to get I feel like this week,
Speaker 4: by the way, we're going to get where he grounds
Speaker 4: out to the shortstop and Chandler Simpson is going to
Speaker 4: beat at home and everyone's going to share it. So
Speaker 4: put that in there. He's going to get you average.
Speaker 4: He's gonna score runs because it team scores runs. And
Speaker 4: if he's hitting at the top of the lineup, that's there.
Speaker 4: And he's going to be one of the most aggressive
Speaker 4: base dealers. He's got like the third or second highest
Speaker 4: odds today to steal a base because that's who he is.
Speaker 4: So I'm cool with it. Also because like man I
Speaker 4: think Manzarto is going to be okay. I think he's
Speaker 4: going to finish the year as like a two forty
Speaker 4: two fifty type of hitter. I think he's gonna have
Speaker 4: significant homers. He's got seven right now. I will say
Speaker 4: though he's hitting two seventeen, his expected batting average is
Speaker 4: lower than that. But he's barreling, he's hitting the ball hard,
Speaker 4: he's walking, he's getting the ball in the air. Those
Speaker 4: things are gonna work well. And there's a nice little
Speaker 4: stream in right field for the Homers to fly. So
Speaker 4: I think this the answer to this is dependent on
Speaker 4: what you're looking for, completely two different things. Manzarto is
Speaker 4: Homer's probably RBI. Chandler Simpson is literally the other three categories.
Speaker 4: I tend to lean Chandler Simpson right now because I
Speaker 4: think he can be a little bit more of a
Speaker 4: game changer in categories. But it's very, very close, because
Speaker 4: I think Manzarto is being underrated.
Speaker 2: I think it's Manzarto I can give you the you know,
Speaker 2: the three categories that I think it's easier to find
Speaker 2: steels now than his power. I want the power guy.
Speaker 4: I just I thought that preseason. But dude, Jake McCarthy's dead.
Speaker 4: Victor Roeblas is dead. Like all these stolen basic.
Speaker 2: Rules allow for more guys who to get into the
Speaker 2: pile of.
Speaker 4: Forby Carroll's not stealing bases any like, like well.
Speaker 2: May today stay tuned for the betting. I kind of
Speaker 2: feel on this one. Bab Uncle Baby Billy traded to
Speaker 2: rise An Abbott for Michael Harris and Peppio Dynasty category
Speaker 2: good or bad move, I think great, phenomenal move.
Speaker 4: Phenomenal move.
Speaker 2: So you think I think you did the thang here,
Speaker 2: Billy down. Yeah, uncle Baby, Billy knows what to do.
Speaker 2: Randy Vasquez six runs six hours on Monday. Not a
Speaker 2: good game for him. Clark Schmidt, I know people were
Speaker 2: bitching about him and the chat early or I saw you,
Speaker 2: I see you, Clark Schmid haters five runs for innings.
Speaker 2: Let's give him some time to work his way back
Speaker 2: and get settled again. And then Alexis Diaz three runs
Speaker 2: and an inning of a third. Does he, guys ever
Speaker 2: see the closer role again? Or do you think that's done?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna definitely get that opportunity. They wanted
Speaker 4: to slow roll him there. I don't think Amelia Pegan
Speaker 4: is the answer. I do think. I think Bennard too.
Speaker 4: Ben Nard came back up. I think you're gonna get
Speaker 4: save opportunities from both of those guys in the near future.
Speaker 2: Okay, lots of injuries and maybe we bury the lead
Speaker 2: here a little bit. Maybe this should have been the
Speaker 2: top of the show. Spencer Strider, fifteen day il retroactor
Speaker 2: for the eighteenth of April, strained right hamstring. Just when
Speaker 2: things were going well. He heard it playing catch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, playing catch, Yeah, he heard it on the field,
Speaker 4: just thrown around. Well, he's got those monster hams.
Speaker 2: And this is the problem. See too much working out.
Speaker 2: That's why I got hurt. That's how I You're just.
Speaker 4: You're just so ripped and jacked and work out. You
Speaker 4: shouldn't you shouldn't have done it.
Speaker 2: Just so huge. What was it?
Speaker 4: Ozzie Gahan said, fat, don't pull, fat, don't strain, so
Speaker 4: you learn from it. I'm I'm okay with this. I
Speaker 4: saw this one happen live on one of my streams too,
Speaker 4: And is it a hamstring? Like that makes me feel better.
Speaker 4: It wasn't an arm thing, any arm elbow, you know,
Speaker 4: inflammation or discomfort or something like that. I would be
Speaker 4: really really worried. He's just got those monster squads. They're
Speaker 4: just they're seeping all over the place. Like I think
Speaker 4: we can be okay with this. It's not an arm thing.
Speaker 4: It spend take a breath.
Speaker 2: Still could miss a couple of weeks though, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: that sucks. But who's coming back, By the way, soon
Speaker 2: he's in this. I'm gonna roll through the rest of
Speaker 2: these Lansma colors. He's gonna throw another bullpen session this week.
Speaker 2: Ben Rice is expected to be back today. He was
Speaker 2: out a couple of days with the elbow issue. Clayton
Speaker 2: Kershaw I was gonna make his next minor league start
Speaker 2: today in Double A Tulsa. We'll tell you how that
Speaker 2: goes tomorrow. George Kirby is progressing with that shoulder issue
Speaker 2: to facing hitters. The Padres put Louis or Eyes on
Speaker 2: the seven day concussion list. No surprise there. Chase Mydrath
Speaker 2: went on the tendail with that right thumb inflammation. Max
Speaker 2: Schurzer also with the thumb issue, throwing from flat ground
Speaker 2: on Monday, So we'll see, you know, if he's throwing
Speaker 2: from flat ground Monday yesterday. Maybe in a week or so,
Speaker 2: he makes a rehab start, maybe probably two of those.
Speaker 2: Then he'll buy somebody some earbuds or a food truck
Speaker 2: with all his teammates, and then he'll make three or
Speaker 2: four stars for the Blue Jays and get hurt again.
Speaker 2: That's what I am. This guy, Pablo Lopez, I'm going
Speaker 2: to rejoin the rotation today, which is great. That's great news.
Speaker 2: We're getting Pablo back. Dalton var Show was gonna continue
Speaker 2: his minor league rehab assignment today and Jose Siri we
Speaker 2: got a timetable for him now eight to ten weeks
Speaker 2: with that tibia fracture. So with Siri out, the outfield
Speaker 2: spot opened up here for the New York Mets. Any
Speaker 2: thoughts on any fantasy value of you know guys who
Speaker 2: could fill in that center.
Speaker 4: Field role or no, we're is not really I Meanyron
Speaker 4: Taylor's of the world. Yeah, I mean, I'm not into
Speaker 4: Tyrone Taylor. I think they would probably you can put
Speaker 4: Jeff mcveial out there if he were healthy, but it
Speaker 4: would have been.
Speaker 2: More answers working his way back. That's the thing. I
Speaker 2: guess that's the big question. Do you move Nimo to
Speaker 2: center and McNeil left.
Speaker 4: I think that's definitely a play because of Luisan Halakunya.
Speaker 4: I would have been interested if Luis On Halecunya was
Speaker 4: playing in the outfield or something like that.
Speaker 2: With My question too, is if if you get that
Speaker 2: squeeze so Viento's being hurt, baby played third yesterday. Now
Speaker 2: you're in a spot where you know Cooni is such
Speaker 2: a phenomenal athlete. Can you kind of convert him into
Speaker 2: that center field That would be really interesting. I think
Speaker 2: Acuni would be up for it, but that's a tough
Speaker 2: thing to do when you're at the major league level.
Speaker 4: I just think they like him defensively where he is,
Speaker 4: like I think it's anyone else you put it sec,
Speaker 4: it's a little bit more of a downgrade, so I
Speaker 4: think that's why he sticks. But I would just like
Speaker 4: anything like with the Lawlor stuff with the Diamondbacks. I
Speaker 4: just want flexibility. Like, give me players of flexibility that
Speaker 4: don't bring up Jorge Barosa's and Tyrone Taylors of the world.
Speaker 4: You know, I don't tell I had to hit yesterday whatever.
Speaker 4: You know, give me the really great players that have
Speaker 4: some position flexibility so we can get the best bats
Speaker 4: in the lineup as well. That's what I really want
Speaker 4: at the end of the day.
Speaker 2: All the bats. Speaking of the best bats, it's time
Speaker 2: for the best bets of the day with Joey p
Speaker 2: and the Welsh. It's a Tuesday afternoon on the East Coast,
Speaker 2: which by the way, lost the poll to West Coast.
Speaker 2: I'm shocked by that. Probably all the East Coast people
Speaker 2: are all working right now. The Coast people are hanging
Speaker 2: out there drinking your lattes. On the water somewhere on
Speaker 2: the coast of California. Anyway, if you're looking to make
Speaker 2: some bets, make sure you use our fantasypros dot Com

Speaker 2: Here's my bets for today. Nick Pavett has been oh
Speaker 2: so good, so let's go over the kprop here six
Speaker 2: and a half for him. Bobby Wood Junior just to
Speaker 2: drive in a run plus one twenty five. Boy, boy,
Speaker 2: that Royals lineup needs some help. I know kagali On
Speaker 2: hit another home run. I know his batting average so low,
Speaker 2: but he's hitting homers. They need some help. They need
Speaker 2: the offense to pick up a little bit in Kansas City.
Speaker 2: Bobby Wood cannot do it alone. Your boy, Chandler Simpson
Speaker 2: plus one sixty two for a stolen base Welsh, this
Speaker 2: might be the bet of the day. I'm looking at
Speaker 2: your boy, Chandler Simpson. I'm thinking myself, you're giving me
Speaker 2: plus one sixty two for that guy in four chances
Speaker 2: to steal one base, I think we can get there.
Speaker 2: And then Corbyn Carroll, who has not stolen a lot
Speaker 2: of bases, You're getting three to one on him, so
Speaker 2: plus three ten Welsh, what are your bets of the
Speaker 2: day for Tuesday?
Speaker 4: Let's get a shout out to our boy Cali, by
Speaker 4: the way, who Cali? Absolutely flawless, just perfect performance on
Speaker 4: the bets. I see, yeah, I mean there is actually
Speaker 4: no spacing between Texas and first five. But we're not
Speaker 4: going to point that out. We're going to just acknowledge
Speaker 4: that this is a flawless for five text five. It's
Speaker 4: it's like it's.
Speaker 2: A representation exactly.
Speaker 4: No, Kelly, we're not going we're not going to mention
Speaker 4: that you didn't put a space in between there. We're
Speaker 4: gonna acknowledge you did a great job for fine flow.
Speaker 4: Nobody Yeah, nobody noticed that. H So for my bets today,
Speaker 4: we're going to go with Toronto first five money line
Speaker 4: for the day. We've also got Texas. Now this is
Speaker 4: why I'm a sicko. First on the Toronto side, Chris Bassett.
Speaker 4: Chris Bassett has been absolutely phenomenal. I am worried there's
Speaker 4: a little bit of like regression in the near future.
Speaker 4: I'm hoping this is not going to be in play.
Speaker 4: But I really like Chris Bassett right now. He has
Speaker 4: been holding down the runs. I'd even look at his
Speaker 4: earn runs under and Toronto's offense just in general. So
Speaker 4: Toronto first five money line. So this is where I'm
Speaker 4: a sicko. Texas first five money line. They're going up
Speaker 4: against Beido and A so on paper right there, you're like, Wow,
Speaker 4: Texas is a plus through the first five innings. Betos
Speaker 4: out there, Why is Texas Because Patrick Corbin is on
Speaker 4: the mount. But Patrick Corbin was absolutely phenomenal. So this
Speaker 4: is where things are. Rubber meets the road. Unfortunately, the
Speaker 4: A's have the seventh are the fourth best ops versus
Speaker 4: left handed hitters right now, so that works against this
Speaker 4: and that's why that is plus money. But Patrick Corbin
Speaker 4: and that slider sweeper was ridiculous in the last outing.
Speaker 4: I'm banking on this Texas offense getting to beato a
Speaker 4: bit and I'm gonna take the big plus money off
Speaker 4: of those That performance that we had with Patrick Corbin
Speaker 4: likely is going to return as a pumpkin. But because
Speaker 4: I'm getting plus money with the offense and that Patrick
Speaker 4: Corbin performance, That's why I'm going plus one twenty four
Speaker 4: in the Texas Tech five money line here with the
Speaker 4: big plus money. And then finally, Ellie de Lacruz has
Speaker 4: been on it. He has had two extra base hits
Speaker 4: or two bases in I believe it was four of
Speaker 4: his last five games. I really like this. It's bigger
Speaker 4: plus money against Edward Cabrera plus one for one point
Speaker 4: five over total bases. We might look at him and
Speaker 4: homers as well. So I'm going with the total base
Speaker 4: prop and a couple first fives today.
Speaker 2: All right, those are the best bets for the day.
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the home run board and
Speaker 2: see if anything has changed. Far Out at twelve, Mart
Speaker 2: at twelve, still Cookie at twelve, all the way Whiles
Speaker 2: still at nine. Everyone's locked in. The winner's gonna get
Speaker 2: the Sammy Sosa jersey. And the way you can get
Speaker 2: involved in the home run contest is join our Discord
Speaker 2: Fantasypros dot Com slast chat. That's the place to be
Speaker 2: and every single Wednesday at two pm Eastern you can
Speaker 2: get your questions answered by the Welsh and Joe Alrico.
Speaker 2: Yes that Joe Arico fantasypros dot Com slash chat join
Speaker 2: it be on the show. It's a great opportunity for
Speaker 2: you to interact with Welsh and Joe, and if you
Speaker 2: don't get your questions answered here, you can go and
Speaker 2: get them answered on our discord. Also, of course that's
Speaker 2: also where you can make your home run calls. Yes,
Speaker 2: well you can do that.
Speaker 4: Also, we'll be announcing they're actually going to be having
Speaker 4: a new time for that show. We're gonna have it
Speaker 4: normal this week by new time in future week, So
Speaker 4: make sure you tune in so if you want to
Speaker 4: hang out live, there's a brand new time that we
Speaker 4: will be discording it.
Speaker 2: What do I get to know what time that is?
Speaker 4: So No, it's a tease, it's a teach. You got
Speaker 4: to come on Wednesday to find out and then I'll
Speaker 4: say it after I'll say it after. By the way,
Speaker 4: in the chat, McGrady, it's my birthday? Can we be nice?
Speaker 4: Do you see this? Wonky over Welsh?
Speaker 2: What am I? It's just facts?
Speaker 4: If I can have one day just to not have
Speaker 4: the capital L and be nice, it would probably be
Speaker 4: today ban him, ban him for throwing whatever.
Speaker 2: Mike mayor here wishing you a happy birthday either.
Speaker 4: Well, that was my gift, the gift that keeps on
Speaker 4: giving him not being here.
Speaker 2: Beef wants to know start buying against the Yankees today.
Speaker 2: That's a tough one. It's a tough one. He's not
Speaker 2: been great. He's been he's been a little underwhelming. They
Speaker 2: paid him, and all of a sudden things haven't gone well.
Speaker 2: I think if you've got another option, I think you
Speaker 2: might sit this one out.
Speaker 4: Well, honestly, it depends if you're hugging ratios and stuff like.
Speaker 4: Maybe not, but I'm I'm I would still get with it. Like,
Speaker 4: the Yankees are striking out at one of the highest
Speaker 4: clips in all of baseball, so there is definitely some
Speaker 4: strikeout potential. You just worry he gets beat up. I
Speaker 4: actually would go. I would go for it unless I'm
Speaker 4: gripping on to ratios. But why are you doing that
Speaker 4: on Tuesday? You shouldn't be.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you grip onto the ratios too tight, you
Speaker 2: might Churchier Yoho. You know it's no good. I'm going
Speaker 2: Corbin Carroll for my home run call today plus three
Speaker 2: sixty Welsh where are you going for yours?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, by the way, completely stole my home run call,
Speaker 4: but you got to it first. So I was gonna say,
Speaker 4: what better things to do?
Speaker 2: Because I'm on the East coast it is earlier.
Speaker 4: But it was also I was like, who would be
Speaker 4: the perfect person for a birthday home run for me?
Speaker 4: It would be Corbyn Carroll And I look at the
Speaker 4: sheet and Joe has Corbyn Carroll, So it's very good.
Speaker 2: Still take Corbyn Carroll. I mean, tiste together one time.
Speaker 4: I mean, we're gonna go get We're gonna go with Ellie.
Speaker 4: Ellie's on a big, big power push. I'm playing the
Speaker 4: total bases. He does have two homers in like two
Speaker 4: of his last three games or whatever. Edward Carrera definitely
Speaker 4: gives up some bombs. I'm gonna go with Ellie on
Speaker 4: a big fly today. I did have him higher, I
