Speaker 1: That of course is the Welsh and I'm Joey p
Speaker 1: We got the peanuts of the Cracker Jacks already here.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of baseball, a lot of questions,
Speaker 1: and a lot of money because yesterday the four leg
Speaker 1: parlay hit big time. I see Rich Silva in the
Speaker 1: chat already talking about how we turned that into let's see,
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars entry into nine hundred and forty dollars yesterday.
Speaker 1: Not too shabby. That works for me, Welsh. It was
Speaker 1: a good day for wagering. We crushed the under on
Speaker 1: the Verlander, we crushed the over on the Eduardo Rodriguez
Speaker 1: strikeout props. Life was good. And now it's a lesser
Speaker 1: betting day, but still a lot of stuff going on,
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy stuff, and we're still getting more prospects.
Speaker 2: Welsh.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be like the It's like cupcakes every
Speaker 1: day for you, that's what it feels like.
Speaker 2: No, I mean cupcakes every day. He is a little
Speaker 2: too much be a little bit oldwhelming match. Yeah, cupcakes
Speaker 2: a little too. It's like chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 3: That's what it is, because you know, you can get
Speaker 3: down a couple of chocolate chip cookies and you know
Speaker 3: what sounds great the next day after eating a couple
Speaker 3: chocolate chip cookies, more chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker 2: So yes, it is. It is. It is party time.
Speaker 3: And how apropos for me being everywhere and doing everything
Speaker 3: that It is literally prospect day, every single day and
Speaker 3: Mash Nervis is coming to the majors and it is
Speaker 3: a home run call near you for the home run
Speaker 3: contest when you guys like to play, he might be
Speaker 3: a very popular pick, especially when we're in Chicago for
Speaker 3: Mash Nervous.
Speaker 1: Nervous is our man. Finally we're gonna get Mrvous. That
Speaker 1: was a guy that you were on going into this
Speaker 1: season and fortunately you did not make the team out
Speaker 1: of camp. But again here we are single demo. It's
Speaker 1: the fifth of May and he is here. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get to Nervis and a lot of the other call ups.
Speaker 1: Do we get a question here from Rich? We're gonna
Speaker 1: keep talking. He's currently renting Jaron Duran for JAD Martinez
Speaker 1: with JD back soon, do I drop JD and keep
Speaker 1: running out with their Duran? I say yes, I'm done
Speaker 1: with Jad Martinez. I'm somebody that speculated maybe the age,
Speaker 1: maybe all of us just kind of caught up with him.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to take the younger player here. Duran
Speaker 1: looks pretty solid. He's going to give you more I
Speaker 1: think wal to wall productivity over the long run, potentially.
Speaker 1: I'm in on Duran. I'm out on JD. What say
Speaker 1: you Welsh? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Man, I had Jared Duran, I believe in my most
Speaker 3: recent trade video as a player to pick up, and
Speaker 3: had Edwardo Rodriguez. So just pointing that out. We had
Speaker 3: a couple guys that have been going. But I'm a
Speaker 3: big Duran guy right now. He's made the changes.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: One of the big things that turned me to crazy
Speaker 3: how he's hitting lefties. I actually tried to attack him
Speaker 3: last week. He was hitting like four hundred against lefties
Speaker 3: and I was like, this is going to stop. And
Speaker 3: I went against him on a lefty and it did
Speaker 3: not stop. So, I mean, he's hitting both sides of
Speaker 3: the plate, and he's hitting the.
Speaker 2: Ball really hard.
Speaker 3: He runs, he's becoming kind of a pillar, and he's
Speaker 3: confident in that offense. It is a very big buy
Speaker 3: on Jaron Duran right now.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: All Right, let's go with the headlines. Masataka Yoshida three
Speaker 1: for five with a solo homer there and obliteration of
Speaker 1: Kevin Gosman. Will talk more on that a little bit.
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander h started off shaky, but he did go
Speaker 1: five innings, which even surprised me that he went that long.
Speaker 1: They lost to the Tigers, as I told you the
Speaker 1: Mets would. So hopefully you made money on that one,
Speaker 1: because we were all over that bad boy yesterday. Here's
Speaker 1: a good one, okay, zach Plea Sack sent to Triple
Speaker 1: A Columbus. Now it's not good for zach Pleesack, but
Speaker 1: it is good for our shares of guardians pitchers not
Speaker 1: name zach Plee Sack. So who does this help? Is
Speaker 1: this a Biby? Is this an Allen? Is this everybody
Speaker 1: collectively starting to rise up as the Cleveland Guardians say, hey,
Speaker 1: we can win this division running away. Let's let the
Speaker 1: kids go out there and pitch. Enough with these you know,
Speaker 1: the savals and police sacks of the world and even
Speaker 1: the Quantrills to a certain extent, like those guys just
Speaker 1: don't move the needle for me. These young kids that
Speaker 1: got coming up.
Speaker 2: Do this is a baton field.
Speaker 3: This is because the decision for them was between batonfield
Speaker 3: and who's pitcher sa So Savali when Sally comes back,
Speaker 3: that will probably push batonfield out. So what I and
Speaker 3: you can look at it as like a pseudo benefit
Speaker 3: to Biby and Logan Allen. The real key is gonna
Speaker 3: be cal Quantrill. When Cal Qwan Trill gets kicked to
Speaker 3: the street, that's gonna be Oh, we know Tanner Byby
Speaker 3: maybe Logan Allen both are safe. If they make big
Speaker 3: moves somehow and Savally is gone too, then it's really
Speaker 3: gonna start opening up that window.
Speaker 2: Two. Gavin Williams.
Speaker 3: Tristan McKenzie, he's gonna be the Pictures, the Mariners, the
Speaker 3: pictures like the Cleveland's in a good spot here where
Speaker 3: they can deal with some of these guys away, take a deal,
Speaker 3: designate whatever it is. Tristan McKenzie is gonna is coming
Speaker 3: out here to Arizona and he's gonna be working at
Speaker 3: the complex level for a week or two. Start throwing
Speaker 3: so he's coming back shortly. So that's why one of
Speaker 3: Logan Allen or Biby are on the chopping block right now.
Speaker 3: So Savally is gonna be I think the first big
Speaker 3: key cog and then it's gonna be cal Quan Trill
Speaker 3: for the you know, for Biby and for Logan Allen
Speaker 3: to like stay and feel really comfortable and not get
Speaker 3: a not get Taj Bradley if you.
Speaker 1: Will, well look the Tas Bradley thing. I still say,
Speaker 1: that's to me, that is all about service time stuff.
Speaker 1: And you start to dig in a little bit more,
Speaker 1: you start to see a little bit, you know, a
Speaker 1: little bit more of that. But Battenfield goes tonight. You know,
Speaker 1: love is a battlefield. I've been told that in the past.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you knew that. Continuing on here,
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty was a disaster. It was a hot mess.
Speaker 1: Yesterday ten runs over two and a third inning. If
Speaker 1: only somebody was on that game too. Yesterday. Yesterday was
Speaker 1: a good day, Welsh, a very good day and I
Speaker 1: didn't even get greedy. It was so good that I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, there's two winnings left in
Speaker 1: this game. I'm already so far up, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: cash out, keep that extra twenty five bucks or whatever
Speaker 1: it was. If I saw it all the way through,
Speaker 1: it was like, I don't want that. No, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna I'm just gonna get out now, just because you
Speaker 1: never know what could happen in an eighth ninth dying.
Speaker 1: Any no lead is safe in Major League Baseball nowadays,
Speaker 1: Red's infield prospect. Welsh just talked about what yesterday or
Speaker 1: two days ago. Christian and carnassion Strand we did shows
Speaker 1: on him earlier this offseason. That's why you'll watch us
Speaker 1: here in Fantasy ros MLBC. You know these guys are
Speaker 1: before we get to this spot. Three home runs on Thursday,
Speaker 1: the rumblings have begun. Is this the next guy up
Speaker 1: next week?
Speaker 2: I think it is.
Speaker 3: I've said I actually thought he was coming up like
Speaker 3: today because he had made some we all get like
Speaker 3: stupid about like Instagram posts and stuff like that, but
Speaker 3: he had made one of him in a Red's uniform,
Speaker 3: and I wonder if maybe they've had any conversations with
Speaker 3: him about it. But his offense is going bonkers. Prior
Speaker 3: to yesterday's game, he was hitting four hundred with four
Speaker 3: homers in nine games.
Speaker 2: I think that's the only thing keeping him back because
Speaker 2: he started so late.
Speaker 3: And yeah, exactly, he's only had nine full games in
Speaker 3: Triple A now ten. I think by next week he's
Speaker 3: up at some capacity. I've put a ten day timeline
Speaker 3: on him. I just don't see what the Reds are
Speaker 3: waiting for. Matt McClain hit for the cycle yesterday. By
Speaker 3: the way, with the Reds, they have got two bats
Speaker 3: that are ready to be injected into that roster. Get
Speaker 3: out from under Will Myers, I about say Mike Myers,
Speaker 3: by the way, Will Myers, get out from him and
Speaker 3: get out from him, get outa get him out, get
Speaker 3: both of those got get for Barrero and get Myers out,
Speaker 3: and get McClain and get in Karnashian strand in. I
Speaker 3: think it's happening soon. So go pick up c E
Speaker 3: s would be our our acronym our initials for him.
Speaker 2: So go pick him up.
Speaker 1: We have to do that. Why can't we have better nicknames.
Speaker 1: Everything's just abbreviations.
Speaker 2: His name is.
Speaker 3: Such a like it's so stressful because you're like Christian
Speaker 3: in Carnos like, I just don't like the iteration of
Speaker 3: incarnos Strand.
Speaker 1: I like see yes either, I like see yes.
Speaker 2: I don't know so much more.
Speaker 1: Can we just call him the Strand like show by
Speaker 1: the way.
Speaker 3: That by the way, maybe the show Incarnisi is the
Speaker 3: one last name I think I've hated more than anything,
Speaker 3: just when I've looked at it, like Edwin, like Edwin
Speaker 3: and Carna and then but everyone has to like alliterate
Speaker 3: it like inc like that's I feel like you would
Speaker 3: like really put something I turned.
Speaker 2: Into what I'm saying. I don't like that name. I
Speaker 2: don't like that.
Speaker 1: Yes, for me, I was not expecting that. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to that. Nervis so nervous at thirty six
Speaker 1: home runs last year in the minor leagues. Just in
Speaker 1: case you weren't paying attention to this, Welsh was triple
Speaker 1: A this year to eighty six five sixty slash six
Speaker 1: homers in twenty four games. So here we go. He's
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. He's going to be up today.
Speaker 1: Eric Cosma stinks. But he didn't need me to tell
Speaker 1: you that. So that is the question too. It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna bring him up, he's got to play
Speaker 1: every day. There's no reason for him not to play
Speaker 1: every day. So unfortunately the waiver wire video already came out.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the aggressiveness on nervous here in
Speaker 1: terms of free agent budget.
Speaker 3: Oh, I was about to say, as far as them,
Speaker 3: it's not necessarily really aggressive. By the way, the most
Speaker 3: incredible stat with him, we've cited four gajillion times is
Speaker 3: how he was able to improve at every step of
Speaker 3: last year. As he went three levels up, he improved
Speaker 3: a strikeout rate, and he lowered it, and then he
Speaker 3: raised his walk rate. And he had a combined seventy
Speaker 3: six extra bases between doubles and homers last night, which
Speaker 3: was absurd, not counting what he did in the AFL
Speaker 3: where he was tied with Homer.
Speaker 2: So that gives you an idea.
Speaker 3: With the bat, the Chicago destination is a great place
Speaker 3: for him to hit. I think there's kind of of
Speaker 3: a infectious offense that's going on. Even in the last
Speaker 3: couple of games they haven't been scoring. I was looking
Speaker 3: in the lineup by the way he is playing first
Speaker 3: base and he's hitting seven today, which is pretty interesting.
Speaker 3: I'm more interested how this is going to go when
Speaker 3: they do want because I don't Cosmea didn't get designated
Speaker 3: or anything, did he.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're keeping him.
Speaker 1: For I haven't seen that yet, so I think.
Speaker 3: They're going to keep him there. I want to see
Speaker 3: what they do with Mancini and how they're going to man.
Speaker 2: But you're right, he plays every day.
Speaker 3: This is a I hate to say it, this is
Speaker 3: probably a fifteen to twenty percent fab. This is one
Speaker 3: of those guys that you really jump in on, you
Speaker 3: can spend you know, one to two percent on, just
Speaker 3: like dudes all the time. But Matt Murvis has the
Speaker 3: potential being called up in May. I'm not joking here.
Speaker 3: He has the potential to still hit like twenty five
Speaker 3: thirty homers, even in this.
Speaker 1: Rookie of the area.
Speaker 2: I think that's I think you could not in that
Speaker 2: division like you could.
Speaker 3: But James Outman and Corman Carroll to me, are just
Speaker 3: too far gone.
Speaker 1: But if he hit thirty homes, it's only May fifth.
Speaker 1: And you know, it is one of those things where
Speaker 1: you know, I think we had some obvious ones going
Speaker 1: in and then as the season went on in Strider
Speaker 1: and Harris last year really took off. You know, they
Speaker 1: kind of ran away at the end so it is
Speaker 1: more of a that to me is more of a
Speaker 1: finish award than any of them, because that's you.
Speaker 3: Know what I will tell you though, I have one
Speaker 3: of those little things. If I'm a gambling.
Speaker 2: I'm tempted on that, I'm sorry, I'm templing. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: got one of those little things.
Speaker 3: I have a great one. I got one of those
Speaker 3: little feelings on Matt Mrvis. So we could see a
Speaker 3: bomb today from Nervis. I feel like Edward Edward Cabrera
Speaker 3: is the type of guy that I think he's going
Speaker 3: to get on you groove one down the middle. Matt
Speaker 3: Nervis will absolutely, he will launch mistakes. He doesn't miss
Speaker 3: on mistakes. It's just been about off speed stuff. But
Speaker 3: the guy throw Edward Carrera thro was like a ninety
Speaker 3: four mile an hour change up. So I think Nervis
Speaker 3: this might be a nice little debut for Nervis.
Speaker 2: Today. We'll see or it's gonna be four strikeouts.
Speaker 3: But I think it's pretty aggressive because everyone's aggressive on
Speaker 3: the pitchers. It's somewhere between fifteen and twenty percent simply
Speaker 3: because of how how impactful the power bat is. And
Speaker 3: he can move up this lineup like relatively easy. I
Speaker 3: think you can get to five and I wouldn't. I don't
Speaker 3: think we'd bat an eye.
Speaker 1: All right, injuries, it's actually not too bad today. I mean,
Speaker 1: Jesuss been like forever since we've had an injury list
Speaker 1: and notes of this short White Sox put Jake Berger
Speaker 1: on the ten dieil with the oblique strain and he's
Speaker 1: he was great when he came up, but what a
Speaker 1: help he's been for people who need a corner help.
Speaker 1: My goodness are good well above board. Yeah, additional testing
Speaker 1: and feel that Michael Harris didn't suffer any ligament damage
Speaker 1: his knee, so that's a good thing there. Michael Harris,
Speaker 1: it's starting to feel like one of those like how
Speaker 1: Murphy's Law seasons for Michael Harris were last season, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's starting to feel like that now. I know it's
Speaker 1: only May, but between the one injury and it gets
Speaker 1: another injury and people thought he's gonna regress anyway. It's
Speaker 1: one of those things to evaluate on your team. If
Speaker 1: your team's doing great and Michael Harris is an ancillary
Speaker 1: piece and you could package him with something else, I
Speaker 1: would consider it. And in redraft, well yeah, well not
Speaker 1: in dynasty, but in redraft because as the season goes
Speaker 1: and he plays less or he struggles because he didn't
Speaker 1: get this normal you know at bats that he needed
Speaker 1: and he's out of sync. You just never know what
Speaker 1: certain players how this is gonna go. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say, you know, Jason Hayward, I don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about that, but you know we've seen
Speaker 1: this before. This is not something that is impossible when
Speaker 1: it comes to some of these situations where we love
Speaker 1: a player. Player plays a little above his board, everyone's
Speaker 1: excited about in the next year, injuries issues, all this stuff.
Speaker 1: His value is still relatively high, I think in the marketplace,
Speaker 1: so I would be shopping and just seeing because on
Speaker 1: the off chan, somebody's gonna overpay and give you something
Speaker 1: really good, or you get package Harris for something else.
Speaker 1: I would consider it. Knowing Gorman day to day with
Speaker 1: back tightness, so keep an eye on that because if
Speaker 1: he goes on the I l get to walk back.
Speaker 1: I don't know, we shall see. Joe Musgrove has his
Speaker 1: next Star pushback because of a blister on his foot. Boy,
Speaker 1: this guy with the foot stuff, He's like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did the foot jokes yesterday was two days
Speaker 2: ago we did we did foot jokes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no more of that and Tyler last. Now we'll
Speaker 1: make his minor league rehab assignment today, so we'll all
Speaker 1: be watching that very very carefully. This weekend is the
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby. I did a show on it on Betting Pros,
Speaker 1: which was super fun. We had a great guest. I'm
Speaker 1: not a horse racing guy, but it got me thinking, well,
Speaker 1: you know, with the Derby coming up, and this is
Speaker 1: an assignment here for all the penuts and crackerjacks in
Speaker 1: the chat or if you know, you want to hits
Speaker 1: up on Twitter. You know, they always have these fun
Speaker 1: names for these horses. I want to get a leading
Speaker 1: off inspired name for one of these horses. And and
Speaker 1: like if we all went in together, all of us
Speaker 1: collectively on a horse, what would we name it? Do
Speaker 1: we want to name it mayor Bear? Do we want
Speaker 1: to name it the double dong? Like?
Speaker 2: How about I got a little thing? Maybe I got a.
Speaker 1: Little thing that could certainly be it too. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of options here. So I want to hear from
Speaker 1: the chat because this is for you all. This is
Speaker 1: so name the leading off Kentucky Derby horse. I want
Speaker 1: to hear from you. I want to know what you got.
Speaker 1: Cracker Jack. That is a good one, cracker jackson car jp.
Speaker 1: Uh there's one from Wonky Slutter Sweeper Bong that sounds
Speaker 1: like it with oldman. Oh that was Taylor Tinker.
Speaker 3: Spot Soldier Taylor Tinker.
Speaker 1: Well, it's fun Friday. Let's name the horse for the
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby sponsored by Leading Off. I want to do that.
Speaker 1: One other note as well, the end of an era,
Speaker 1: I guess because Matt Harvey is uh dark Knight, dark
Speaker 1: Knight himself, mister Batman has decided to call it a
Speaker 1: career and uh it mixed bag for Matt Harvey. Sure,
Speaker 1: I mean certainly took the world by storm was an
Speaker 1: absolute New York Uh oh yeah, We're gonna get a
Speaker 1: lot of these. But Matt Harvey was a New York sensation.
Speaker 1: Obviously did not go the way we all hoped in fantasy,
Speaker 1: the way we hoped as baseball fans, certainly as met fans.
Speaker 1: Very disappointing at the end of the day. But he
Speaker 1: held on for quite some time. But he had a
Speaker 1: statement today announcing officially his retirement. And Welsh is going
Speaker 1: to read that Matt Harvey statement to you all today
Speaker 1: in a Batman voice, So.
Speaker 3: This is it's in the Dark Knight voice. So this
Speaker 3: is Matt Harvey's official statement.
Speaker 4: He is the Dark Knight, So I was a Dark
Speaker 4: Knight company Welsh in the statement, right, citizens of Gotham,
Speaker 4: I have a statement for you to.
Speaker 5: The fans, most importantly the New York Mets Fields. You
Speaker 5: made a dream come true for me, a.
Speaker 2: Dream I could never have thought to be true.
Speaker 1: Is aware an.
Speaker 5: Orphan kid, a kid from mister Connecticut would be able
Speaker 5: to play in the greatest city in the world.
Speaker 1: His hometown.
Speaker 2: You are forever embedded in my heart.
Speaker 1: Ma'am be myself shine after the red. I love to
Speaker 1: say goodbye to thank you everyone. We appreciate love.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Want to feel so bad about Matt Harvey is the
Speaker 3: epitome of lost love. I mean, Adriana Lima broke his
Speaker 3: heart and he was never the same that hotel, that
Speaker 3: one hotel room they tried to get.
Speaker 2: And it's not even a joke.
Speaker 3: The team tried to get him out of a hotel
Speaker 3: because he was so heartbroken from this super I would
Speaker 3: be heartbroken too for losing that supermodel. Batman lost everything.
Speaker 3: He didn't lose his parents but this one, but he
Speaker 3: lost everything else. So Dark Knight, we will always remember you.
Speaker 1: You will always remember being here live watching that as well.
Speaker 1: We got to get that chopped up for social media too.
Speaker 1: I think that's a winner.
Speaker 2: And put a Batman mask on me too, please.
Speaker 1: The we'll get that too, all right, So let's continue
Speaker 1: on the show if we can. Some really good horses
Speaker 1: names to slutter, Biscuit also very good. That's some good ones.
Speaker 1: Chicken fingers and dingers, that's a good one. Caught the feeling.
Speaker 3: My favorite was shoe sock shoe, sock sho It's also
Speaker 3: very good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dan said, sock sock shoe shoe.
Speaker 1: That was my dang sock sock shoe shoe. That definitely.
Speaker 1: And it's all one word because you know how they're
Speaker 1: all one word in the Kentucky debris. So there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I feel mad for anyone who's just joining the show
Speaker 1: now live.
Speaker 5: Oh you imagine they open it up and I'm like,
Speaker 5: citizens are awesome, and you're.
Speaker 1: Like, yes, where else are you gonna get this? Nowhere?
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about three up and three down
Speaker 1: from yesterday. Zach Eflin seven innings, ten k's against the Rays.
Speaker 1: Not I mean with four the Rays. Excuse me over
Speaker 1: the the Pirates. Not too shabby, Duarol Rodriguez trying to
Speaker 1: get out of Detroit. He is doing everything again, nine strikeouts,
Speaker 1: one walk, He retired the last fifteen guys he faced,
Speaker 1: one hundred and two pitches, thirteen swinging strikes. What more
Speaker 1: can we get for? This Guy's got a one eight
Speaker 1: one ERA by by him everywhere?
Speaker 2: Right and dude, all so, you know something I pointed
Speaker 2: out in the video.
Speaker 3: Those strikeout numbers look low, but I had pointed out
Speaker 3: that over that since April fifteenth, he had an over
Speaker 3: nine k per nine and then he goes out and
Speaker 3: dominate yesterday. What else does he not do? He doesn't
Speaker 3: walk guys, even the floor this was in that video,
Speaker 3: Go click it again. But what I said here is
Speaker 3: even though he doesn't get traded, the floor is still nice.
Speaker 3: He can put up performances like that. But look if
Speaker 3: this dude does get traded. Huh loved word right now?
Speaker 1: So good? All right? Rafield devers three for four, four
Speaker 1: ribbies and three runs. So those were the good? Here
Speaker 1: were the bad or the ugly? Von Grissom. Oh for
Speaker 1: four to four ks, it's not going well. Snow Blaino
Speaker 1: for von Grissom. The Braves know, this is why you
Speaker 1: see I'm telling you follow the money everybody, just because
Speaker 1: it's real baseball, follow the money in fantasy. Once they
Speaker 1: gave Arcia an extension, that was a big giant red flag,
Speaker 1: a shriven selling all your Von Grisam shares. I tried
Speaker 1: to warn you. I'm not saying it's never gonna work out.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's not gonna work out right away.
Speaker 1: There's something off there. The Braves evaluated this is not
Speaker 1: going to be the Azzie Albi's around the Counya grouping
Speaker 1: of Brace prospects. This is starting to feel a little
Speaker 1: bit more like the waters Pasche groupings, where they're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this guy's great, he's great, he's great, we're hyping him
Speaker 1: up and then we trade him off and then it
Speaker 1: just that was happen on delling you right now it's
Speaker 1: a bad sign. Kevin Gossman not pretty, ten hits, eight
Speaker 1: earned runs yesterday. Grayson Rodriguez not pretty either, so came
Speaker 1: off his best Starves career and then three and two
Speaker 1: thirds six earned runs eight hits.
Speaker 3: Also, Grayson hurt the soul yesterday. Grayson hurt me in
Speaker 3: the pocketbook and the soul a little bit yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, I mean we did give you
Speaker 1: and you know yesterday it was a huge That was
Speaker 1: a big party. I mean the twelve. When you can
Speaker 1: get up to a twelve to one in a baseball
Speaker 1: day where you confident about it, let me tell you,
Speaker 1: like just absolutely crushing. I wish I could say today
Speaker 1: we have another one, but we don't necessarily have one
Speaker 1: of that magnitude. It doesn't happen all the time, which
Speaker 1: is why we have to lay in the weeds, choose
Speaker 1: our spots, and then when you see something open up,
Speaker 1: you take your shot at it and maybe even you
Speaker 1: win a prize. And speaking of prizes, how about prize picks.
Speaker 1: Sign up today with the promo code leading off for
Speaker 1: prize picks, get one hundred percent deposit match up to
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, and use that promo code leading off
Speaker 1: when you do. Welsh, let's pick some prizes for the

Speaker 3: All right, let's see what we can do here. First,
Speaker 3: up on my prize pick, we have got some no
Speaker 3: run First innings available. I actually like quite a few,
Speaker 3: but the one I'm jumping in on is Christian Xavier
Speaker 3: plus Josiah Gray. No runs first name. Just Gray has
Speaker 3: been really good Diamondbacks obviously solid. I don't one hundred
Speaker 3: percent no of Corman. Carrol's gonna be back in usually
Speaker 3: hits three in situations like this, but either way, Josiah
Speaker 3: Gray has very very much maintained good strikeout numbers, So
Speaker 3: I really like that one. That's actually probably my most
Speaker 3: confident of these others because I am jumping into total
Speaker 3: bases and I have stunk with total bases, but two
Speaker 3: immediately jump out to me today. Ronald Acunya total bases
Speaker 3: one and a half on this list, and James Autman.
Speaker 3: I just need one hit hitting the ball crazy hard
Speaker 3: going up against you Darvish for the first time. I
Speaker 3: think Darvish is going to just be slanging some fast there,
Speaker 3: and I only need one hit from James Outman. So
Speaker 3: total bases on Outman Akunya and no run first innings
Speaker 3: for Javier and Josiah Gray.
Speaker 2: That is my price picks, all right.
Speaker 1: My prize picks for the day. Christian Hovey are over
Speaker 1: on the six and a half. K's Louis Castillo over.
Speaker 1: Now I did this in the morning. So if there's
Speaker 1: a combo one up there, now look for the combo
Speaker 1: one instead. Always take the combo because he gives you
Speaker 1: something more outs there is.
Speaker 3: A Luis Castillo, it's somebody else big and it's like
Speaker 3: thirteen and a half. It's a pretty you know what.
Speaker 3: It might be Calvier and Castill. It's a big one
Speaker 3: and I think it was like thirteen and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think it was thirteen and a half.
Speaker 1: So whenever you get the combos, take the combos. And
Speaker 1: here's why, because if one guy goes off, he carries
Speaker 1: the other guy up. You figure both of them are
Speaker 1: going to be near these numbers. So if one of
Speaker 1: them goes two or three over, boom, you've got it.
Speaker 1: Then Showyotani over eight and a half. Fantasy scores today
Speaker 1: in terms of points. While we were just talking about
Speaker 1: all the betting during the show, I already three people
Speaker 1: follow me on our Betting Pros app. So if you

Speaker 1: Join us. It's a great time we're making picks. You
Speaker 1: can follow me, can follow the Welsh. Welsh has been
Speaker 1: crushing it as well. Our audience has been crushing the
Speaker 1: peanuts and cracker jacks are making money. Everyone's intimidated about
Speaker 1: betting on baseball. It's a long season. You have to
Speaker 1: be careful and you have to budget your your money
Speaker 1: and your time and what you do. And we're trying
Speaker 1: to help you do that. And if we do it right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna come out successful at the end of the day. Today.
Speaker 1: Besides the you know, I'm just bragging all day about
Speaker 1: the twelve to one, but Corbyn burns over on the
Speaker 1: strikeout six and a half. This one's a little tenuous,
Speaker 1: but I like it against san fran I'm looking for
Speaker 1: that start where he gets back on track. I'm hoping
Speaker 1: this is it. Lance Lane under six and a half strikeouts. Oh,
Speaker 1: you're getting minus one oh eight on this one. Just
Speaker 1: take it and run until he figures out what the
Speaker 1: hell's going on. Look at this number three and a
Speaker 1: half A Bailey over over on betting pros. It's heavy juice.
Speaker 1: Just pair it with something else and I think you'll
Speaker 1: be good to go. You might impair it in the
Speaker 1: same game parlay with a just a twins victory. I
Speaker 1: think you can get that today because I don't know
Speaker 1: how long loved as a battlefield is going to pitch today.
Speaker 1: Clinton Kershaw five and a half. That's a low number.
Speaker 1: I know it's San Diego, but they can struggle against
Speaker 1: lefty sometimes. So for me and Bogarts has been kind
Speaker 1: of stone cold lately, and not like in the good way,
Speaker 1: not in the stone cold Steve Austin way, like just
Speaker 1: ice cold at the plate. So five half, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: over on that number, you're getting one third? What what? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I forgot you have a good stone cold
Speaker 3: What what is that like extra like thing in there?
Speaker 1: Yeah? You know what else is good? A little extra
Speaker 1: so rare, that's what's good for you. So get ready
Speaker 1: for so rare. You know why, go to fantasypros dot

Speaker 1: the DFS slate is O ours.
Speaker 2: Do you want me to make my picks?
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about your betting picks.
Speaker 2: It's okay, I mean we could easily forget about them.
Speaker 2: I didn't hit my team totally.
Speaker 1: Sorry. I apologize by all means pick.
Speaker 2: I would run through it really quick.
Speaker 3: You guys may not even want any of my bets anyways,
Speaker 3: but I've got a little parlay together. I love Texas
Speaker 3: team total runs today. It's one and a half against
Speaker 3: the Angels and Tyler Anderson who has been giving up
Speaker 3: those runs. But it is heavy juice, so if you
Speaker 3: want to play it, it's minus like one fifty, I think.
Speaker 3: But I paired it with a Tampa Bay money line
Speaker 3: win against the Yankees. So team total runs for Texas
Speaker 3: through the first five innings one and a half runs
Speaker 3: and Tampa Bay money line that is a plus one fifty.
Speaker 2: I played that. It was my first bet of the day.
Speaker 2: I like Chicago first.
Speaker 3: Five to be up by a single run against Edward Cabrera.
Speaker 3: They got a steel on the docket. It's minus one fifteen,
Speaker 3: and I am going to play a total base one here,
Speaker 3: Mike Trout one and a half total basis is plus
Speaker 3: one twenty. I really really like that one today plus money.
Speaker 3: I'm not like any of the strikeout props enough. Bailey
Speaker 3: over was the only close one I was with, but
Speaker 3: Cleveland just a little bit dicey.
Speaker 2: So those are my bets if you guys want to
Speaker 2: play them.
Speaker 1: Some good horse names too, for our leading off Kentucky
Speaker 1: Derby horse Grim Sweeper. That's a good one, Jp, says
Speaker 1: cousin Donnie. That's also a good horse name. He would
Speaker 1: love that too. Nothing would please him more than to
Speaker 1: have a horse named after him. And I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say why. Oh, we also have another one here somewhere.
Speaker 1: Joe knows that's not bad, not bad. And look, there's
Speaker 1: been some good ones here. There's still some time left
Speaker 1: in the show, so then we could talk about what
Speaker 1: our favorite one might be. Moving on to the DFS
Speaker 1: slate now that I've officially let Welsh make his picks,
Speaker 1: Zach Wheeler ten point two. I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: under rostered today, so go after him. Javier also, because
Speaker 1: he's going against Castillo and Castillo's higher price, so this
Speaker 1: is just a money play. Let's just go the opposite route.
Speaker 1: You know, everyone's gonna be on Castillo because he's at home,
Speaker 1: as they should be. It makes sense. Let's go the
Speaker 1: other way. Let's go with the cheaper guy. Save some
Speaker 1: money because he's a few hundred dollars cheaper, and go
Speaker 1: Javier Stack tonight. I want to attack that Los Angeles lineup,
Speaker 1: the New York Mets lineup, because they haven't done anything
Speaker 1: in day so it's bound to turn around that God,
Speaker 1: they're out of Detroit. Can't win a game in Detroit.
Speaker 1: That's the New York Mets right now. The Atlanta Braves
Speaker 1: another one there. Luis Rangifo, by the way, is very hot.
Speaker 1: He is two point five, k Taylor Ward two point eight,
Speaker 1: and Brett Batty if he's back in the lineup, which
Speaker 1: it should be after day off yesterday, two point seven.
Speaker 1: Now again we've just continue to you know, finish up
Speaker 1: the month of April with the home runs, which means
Speaker 1: there's plenty of time for all of you is still
Speaker 1: get involved with the home run contest. Especially you can
Speaker 1: win prizes by month, so there's plenty of time there.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about the bleeder board or any of that stuff.

Speaker 1: at the same time, home run board right now looks
Speaker 1: like this primetime still at fifteen. Oh zerdo up to twelve,
Speaker 1: Raisa Ramon sego and I throw a bad guys at twelve,
Speaker 1: BHB Daddy at twelve and Calson at twelve as well,
Speaker 1: So it's a good grouping there. Welsh is red hot
Speaker 1: picking homers. I am stone cold at this point, Welsh,
Speaker 1: why don't you go first today?
Speaker 3: Number seven yesterday? So again we're not back up on
Speaker 3: the board.
Speaker 1: But Randy Road, I'm embarrassment.
Speaker 3: I needed well did I was cold. I couldn't have
Speaker 3: been colder at the beginning of April. But we've been
Speaker 3: read hot lately. Had Randia rose Arena get me number seven.
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to get up on that board. And
Speaker 3: today I am going back to my total base prop
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go with Mike Trout, Mike Drout picking
Speaker 3: up on Dane Dunning. I actually think there could be
Speaker 3: some runs scored in this one, but I like the
Speaker 3: Trouty getting in on the board here for total bases
Speaker 3: and my home run call today, I am very tempted
Speaker 3: to take Matt Nervis though, just for like singularly today,
Speaker 3: I'm just throwing that out there into the world. I
Speaker 3: think we could see a Matt Murvis bomb today, so
Speaker 3: someone else can pick that and join all the love.
Speaker 1: Here's an interesting one from Devin. Can Chris dress up
Speaker 1: as Joe and Joe dress up as Chris for one episode?
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means except I would just
Speaker 1: wear a hat.
Speaker 2: I think you would just have to or or no,
Speaker 2: or here's the better one.
Speaker 3: I have to get the bald thing and then you
Speaker 3: have to have the wig with like Jimmy Neutron here.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be harder. I could just get a hat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could do that, but I think if we're
Speaker 3: really gonna do it, you got to get hair and
Speaker 3: then just hair spray it up like in a wig.
Speaker 1: So we both go to the that's a lot of
Speaker 1: that's a lot of pressure. How much well this is
Speaker 1: it's a lower maintenance And do you think you shave
Speaker 1: it once or twice a week?
Speaker 2: It's not a Oh no, I'm not shaving it.
Speaker 3: There's no chance I'll put a bald like like little
Speaker 3: thing on over my hair and stuff like the Hollywood thing.
Speaker 1: Twice in one show show a Tani. That's my home
Speaker 1: run call for the weekend. So hopefully we go yard
Speaker 1: here more than once because I need. I think I'm
Speaker 1: at four, so like two home runs that puts me
Speaker 1: at six. That's puts me in a better situation there,
Speaker 1: so hopefully that'll be good again. Go to fantasypros dot

Speaker 1: note on Matt Harvey on the way out of here
Speaker 1: is he reminds me of you know that old movie
Speaker 1: A Bronx Tail, that that tale of wasted talent. Because
Speaker 1: looking at Matt Harvey's stats here back in twenty thirteen
Speaker 1: Welsh two two seven era A one to seven eight,
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy eight innings, he had a fit
Speaker 1: that year of two point zero one best in the
Speaker 1: major leagues. So he was even better than his two
Speaker 1: twenty seven era he was. He was so good.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And then twenty forty fourteen vanished obviously the injury, and
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen was back there a two seven one era
Speaker 1: twenty nine starts. I think that was the year he
Speaker 1: started the All Star Game too, if memory serves, was
Speaker 1: that twenty fifteen I want to say it was all right,
Speaker 1: and then you know you look at after that four
Speaker 1: eight sixty ras six seventy era never yeah, and then
Speaker 1: it all just it all just fell apart, and it's
Speaker 1: just you know, he made twenty four starts for Cincinnati
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. But you know, these are one of
Speaker 1: these things where you just don't know the state of
Speaker 1: mind of players. And there's so few guys with the
Speaker 1: amount of talent to pitch at the major league level,
Speaker 1: and there's so few guys with the amount of talent
Speaker 1: to pitch and dominate at the major league level, and
Speaker 1: Matt Harvey had that, and it is kind of it's
Speaker 1: kind of sad that, you know, he couldn't get it
Speaker 1: all together for himself and get back on track, you know, mentally,
Speaker 1: which is hard. You know, celebrity is a hard thing,
Speaker 1: especially in New York physically, and the addiction problems and
Speaker 1: all the other things that he had. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's a cautionary tale. I feel like Matt Harvey at.
Speaker 3: The end of the day, what do you think, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, definitely a waste the tent. We've seen that
Speaker 3: lot though unfortunately in baseball for a different reasons. Sometimes, uh,
Speaker 3: it's a simple fix that can't be done. Sometimes it's
Speaker 3: a team that holds him down. In his case, it
Speaker 3: was a much bigger situation of love and addiction and
Speaker 3: maybe ethic work, ethic and stuff like that that took
Speaker 3: it down. I was a big Matt Harvey fan, loved
Speaker 3: for the Dark Knight, but it has gone by the way.
Speaker 3: I hate to do this. I think the name was
Speaker 3: found at the very end. I wanted to say that
Speaker 3: I loved Dan's pick for the our horse name.
Speaker 2: Of a sock sox shoe shoe. But this was brought up.
Speaker 3: By Thomas and everyone reiterated it x plug, our pretend
Speaker 3: stat I think that might be the horse name.
Speaker 1: X Plug's got to be it. There you go, So
Speaker 1: you name the Kentucky Derby horse. You can go put uh,
Speaker 1: you go, put a thousand dollars on x plug. We
Speaker 1: can't see if it see if it comes in. Get
Speaker 1: a horse.
Speaker 2: How much is it to like get a horse?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's a lot. I love how
Speaker 1: people are like I have a piece of a horse,
Speaker 1: like that is ominous, like stock.
Speaker 2: It is stock, like people investment. Can we invest in
Speaker 2: horse horses?
Speaker 1: It's a crazy thing. I saw a thing this morning
Speaker 1: Good Morning Football where Ian Radcord is like, I'm at
Speaker 1: the Kentucky deary because I own a piece of a
Speaker 1: horse like what piece you.
Speaker 3: Might have to we might have to start with, like
Speaker 3: turtle racing. We can get X plug as a turtle
Speaker 3: and do that. But I think that's I don't think
Speaker 3: we're we're I don't think we're high rolling enough.
Speaker 2: We're not. We're not that Matt Harvey money to get
Speaker 2: into the horse racing.
Speaker 1: On that note, have a great weekend. Everybody, go see
Speaker 1: Guardians in the Galaxy. If you're a Marvel nerd like
Speaker 1: Welsh myself. We're both going tomorrow, so we'll talk about
Speaker 1: it on Monday show. Give the reviews, but no spoilers.
Speaker 1: Don't worry because we're not jerk. So enjoy your baseball,
Speaker 1: enjoy the weekend, get out there, do something fun. That'll
Speaker 1: do it for us. But the story of the game
Speaker 1: goes on for the Welsh. I'm Joey P. We'll see
Speaker 1: you next time.
Speaker 5: Kids,
