I see Rich Silva in the 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.720 chat already talking about how we turned that into let's see, 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.159 twenty five dollars entry into nine hundred and forty dollars yesterday. 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:38.199 Not too shabby. That works for me, Welsh. It was 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.680 a good day for wagering. We crushed the under on 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.640 the Verlander, we crushed the over on the Eduardo Rodriguez 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.600 strikeout props. Life was good. And now it's a lesser 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.400 betting day, but still a lot of stuff going on, 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.519 a lot of fantasy stuff, and we're still getting more prospects. 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:52.880 Welsh. 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.360 This is gonna be like the It's like cupcakes every 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.120 day for you, that's what it feels like. 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.080 No, I mean cupcakes every day. He is a little 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.000 too much be a little bit oldwhelming match. Yeah, cupcakes 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:03.720 a little too. It's like chocolate chip cookies. 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.200 That's what it is, because you know, you can get 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:07.760 down a couple of chocolate chip cookies and you know 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.600 what sounds great the next day after eating a couple 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.720 chocolate chip cookies, more chocolate chip cookies. 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.080 So yes, it is. It is. It is party time. 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.479 And how apropos for me being everywhere and doing everything 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.679 that It is literally prospect day, every single day and 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.000 Mash Nervis is coming to the majors and it is 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.920 a home run call near you for the home run 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.840 contest when you guys like to play, he might be 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.320 a very popular pick, especially when we're in Chicago for 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:35.720 Mash Nervous. 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.040 Nervous is our man. Finally we're gonna get Mrvous. That 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.679 was a guy that you were on going into this 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.880 season and fortunately you did not make the team out 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.640 of camp. But again here we are single demo. It's 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.000 the fifth of May and he is here. We're gonna 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:49.640 get to Nervis and a lot of the other call ups. 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.320 Do we get a question here from Rich? We're gonna 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.720 keep talking. He's currently renting Jaron Duran for JAD Martinez 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.440 with JD back soon, do I drop JD and keep 0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.280 running out with their Duran? I say yes, I'm done 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.920 with Jad Martinez. I'm somebody that speculated maybe the age, 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.600 maybe all of us just kind of caught up with him. 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.880 But I'm going to take the younger player here. Duran 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.040 looks pretty solid. He's going to give you more I 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.920 think wal to wall productivity over the long run, potentially. 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:15.880 I'm in on Duran. I'm out on JD. What say 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:16.680 you Welsh? Yeah? 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.720 Man, I had Jared Duran, I believe in my most 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.200 recent trade video as a player to pick up, and 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.480 had Edwardo Rodriguez. So just pointing that out. We had 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:25.919 a couple guys that have been going. But I'm a 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:27.840 big Duran guy right now. He's made the changes. 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:28.080 You know. 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.200 One of the big things that turned me to crazy 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.440 how he's hitting lefties. I actually tried to attack him 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.760 last week. He was hitting like four hundred against lefties 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.320 and I was like, this is going to stop. And 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.560 I went against him on a lefty and it did 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.480 not stop. So, I mean, he's hitting both sides of 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:41.560 the plate, and he's hitting the. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:42.880 Ball really hard. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.680 He runs, he's becoming kind of a pillar, and he's 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.120 confident in that offense. It is a very big buy 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:50.280 on Jaron Duran right now. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:50.760 I love it. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.880 All Right, let's go with the headlines. Masataka Yoshida three 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.480 for five with a solo homer there and obliteration of 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.760 Kevin Gosman. Will talk more on that a little bit. 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.320 Justin Verlander h started off shaky, but he did go 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.359 five innings, which even surprised me that he went that long. 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.040 They lost to the Tigers, as I told you the 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.079 Mets would. So hopefully you made money on that one, 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.320 because we were all over that bad boy yesterday. Here's 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.160 a good one, okay, zach Plea Sack sent to Triple 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.120 A Columbus. Now it's not good for zach Pleesack, but 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.040 it is good for our shares of guardians pitchers not 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.040 name zach Plee Sack. So who does this help? Is 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.399 this a Biby? Is this an Allen? Is this everybody 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.640 collectively starting to rise up as the Cleveland Guardians say, hey, 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.359 we can win this division running away. Let's let the 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.520 kids go out there and pitch. Enough with these you know, 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.560 the savals and police sacks of the world and even 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.320 the Quantrills to a certain extent, like those guys just 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.520 don't move the needle for me. These young kids that 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:43.400 got coming up. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.360 Do this is a baton field. 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.400 This is because the decision for them was between batonfield 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.120 and who's pitcher sa So Savali when Sally comes back, 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.480 that will probably push batonfield out. So what I and 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.600 you can look at it as like a pseudo benefit 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.200 to Biby and Logan Allen. The real key is gonna 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.160 be cal Quantrill. When Cal Qwan Trill gets kicked to 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:09.040 the street, that's gonna be Oh, we know Tanner Byby 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.160 maybe Logan Allen both are safe. If they make big 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.480 moves somehow and Savally is gone too, then it's really 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.120 gonna start opening up that window. 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.000 Two. Gavin Williams. 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.760 Tristan McKenzie, he's gonna be the Pictures, the Mariners, the 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.640 pictures like the Cleveland's in a good spot here where 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.640 they can deal with some of these guys away, take a deal, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.640 designate whatever it is. Tristan McKenzie is gonna is coming 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.320 out here to Arizona and he's gonna be working at 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.039 the complex level for a week or two. Start throwing 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.880 so he's coming back shortly. So that's why one of 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.880 Logan Allen or Biby are on the chopping block right now. 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.760 So Savally is gonna be I think the first big 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:47.320 key cog and then it's gonna be cal Quan Trill 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.240 for the you know, for Biby and for Logan Allen 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.520 to like stay and feel really comfortable and not get 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.480 a not get Taj Bradley if you. 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.080 Will, well look the Tas Bradley thing. I still say, 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:01.320 that's to me, that is all about service time stuff. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:02.800 And you start to dig in a little bit more, 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.560 you start to see a little bit, you know, a 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.919 little bit more of that. But Battenfield goes tonight. You know, 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.440 love is a battlefield. I've been told that in the past. 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:11.600 I don't know if you knew that. Continuing on here, 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.640 Jack Flaherty was a disaster. It was a hot mess. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.640 Yesterday ten runs over two and a third inning. If 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.760 only somebody was on that game too. Yesterday. Yesterday was 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:22.560 a good day, Welsh, a very good day and I 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.640 didn't even get greedy. It was so good that I 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.040 was like, you know what, there's two winnings left in 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.239 this game. I'm already so far up, I'm just gonna 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.840 cash out, keep that extra twenty five bucks or whatever 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.000 it was. If I saw it all the way through, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.400 it was like, I don't want that. No, I'm just 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.560 gonna I'm just gonna get out now, just because you 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.159 never know what could happen in an eighth ninth dying. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.040 Any no lead is safe in Major League Baseball nowadays, 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.960 Red's infield prospect. Welsh just talked about what yesterday or 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.640 two days ago. Christian and carnassion Strand we did shows 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.560 on him earlier this offseason. That's why you'll watch us 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.560 here in Fantasy ros MLBC. You know these guys are 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.360 before we get to this spot. Three home runs on Thursday, 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.080 the rumblings have begun. Is this the next guy up 0:05:58.120 --> 0:05:58.560 next week? 0:05:59.400 --> 0:05:59.960 I think it is. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:02.479 I've said I actually thought he was coming up like 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.240 today because he had made some we all get like 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.640 stupid about like Instagram posts and stuff like that, but 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.880 he had made one of him in a Red's uniform, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.479 and I wonder if maybe they've had any conversations with 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.920 him about it. But his offense is going bonkers. Prior 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.920 to yesterday's game, he was hitting four hundred with four 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:20.320 homers in nine games. 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:21.800 I think that's the only thing keeping him back because 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:22.760 he started so late. 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:27.359 And yeah, exactly, he's only had nine full games in 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.280 Triple A now ten. I think by next week he's 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.960 up at some capacity. I've put a ten day timeline 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:35.720 on him. I just don't see what the Reds are 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.800 waiting for. Matt McClain hit for the cycle yesterday. By 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.240 the way, with the Reds, they have got two bats 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.480 that are ready to be injected into that roster. Get 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.320 out from under Will Myers, I about say Mike Myers, 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.120 by the way, Will Myers, get out from him and 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.840 get out from him, get outa get him out, get 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.760 both of those got get for Barrero and get Myers out, 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.640 and get McClain and get in Karnashian strand in. I 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.800 think it's happening soon. So go pick up c E 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.720 s would be our our acronym our initials for him. 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:06.440 So go pick him up. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.440 We have to do that. Why can't we have better nicknames. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:09.880 Everything's just abbreviations. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.080 His name is. 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.680 Such a like it's so stressful because you're like Christian 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.760 in Carnos like, I just don't like the iteration of 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:18.880 incarnos Strand. 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.960 I like see yes either, I like see yes. 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.040 I don't know so much more. 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:25.040 Can we just call him the Strand like show by 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:25.360 the way. 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:29.640 That by the way, maybe the show Incarnisi is the 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.520 one last name I think I've hated more than anything, 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.720 just when I've looked at it, like Edwin, like Edwin 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.679 and Carna and then but everyone has to like alliterate 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.040 it like inc like that's I feel like you would 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.200 like really put something I turned. 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.880 Into what I'm saying. I don't like that name. I 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:47.280 don't like that. 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.200 Yes, for me, I was not expecting that. All right, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.840 let's get to that. Nervis so nervous at thirty six 0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.040 home runs last year in the minor leagues. Just in 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.120 case you weren't paying attention to this, Welsh was triple 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.960 A this year to eighty six five sixty slash six 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.040 homers in twenty four games. So here we go. He's 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.320 twenty five years old. He's going to be up today. 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.880 Eric Cosma stinks. But he didn't need me to tell 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.800 you that. So that is the question too. It's like, okay, 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:14.120 if you're gonna bring him up, he's got to play 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:15.960 every day. There's no reason for him not to play 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.080 every day. So unfortunately the waiver wire video already came out. 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:22.480 So let's talk about the aggressiveness on nervous here in 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:23.920 terms of free agent budget. 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.880 Oh, I was about to say, as far as them, 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.760 it's not necessarily really aggressive. By the way, the most 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.320 incredible stat with him, we've cited four gajillion times is 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:37.280 how he was able to improve at every step of 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.160 last year. As he went three levels up, he improved 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.720 a strikeout rate, and he lowered it, and then he 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.600 raised his walk rate. And he had a combined seventy 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.600 six extra bases between doubles and homers last night, which 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:51.800 was absurd, not counting what he did in the AFL 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:52.920 where he was tied with Homer. 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:54.400 So that gives you an idea. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.720 With the bat, the Chicago destination is a great place 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.120 for him to hit. I think there's kind of of 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.880 a infectious offense that's going on. Even in the last 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.680 couple of games they haven't been scoring. I was looking 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.640 in the lineup by the way he is playing first 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.960 base and he's hitting seven today, which is pretty interesting. 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.760 I'm more interested how this is going to go when 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.640 they do want because I don't Cosmea didn't get designated 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:16.240 or anything, did he. 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:17.760 I mean, I think they're keeping him. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.640 For I haven't seen that yet, so I think. 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.040 They're going to keep him there. I want to see 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:23.920 what they do with Mancini and how they're going to man. 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:25.960 But you're right, he plays every day. 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.080 This is a I hate to say it, this is 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.280 probably a fifteen to twenty percent fab. This is one 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:34.240 of those guys that you really jump in on, you 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:37.040 can spend you know, one to two percent on, just 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.720 like dudes all the time. But Matt Murvis has the 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.640 potential being called up in May. I'm not joking here. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.200 He has the potential to still hit like twenty five 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:45.319 thirty homers, even in this. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:47.240 Rookie of the area. 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.880 I think that's I think you could not in that 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.320 division like you could. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.520 But James Outman and Corman Carroll to me, are just 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.319 too far gone. 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.000 But if he hit thirty homes, it's only May fifth. 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.439 And you know, it is one of those things where 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.319 you know, I think we had some obvious ones going 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.160 in and then as the season went on in Strider 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:12.000 and Harris last year really took off. You know, they 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.319 kind of ran away at the end so it is 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.240 more of a that to me is more of a 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.440 finish award than any of them, because that's you. 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.680 Know what I will tell you though, I have one 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.960 of those little things. If I'm a gambling. 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.400 I'm tempted on that, I'm sorry, I'm templing. Yeah, I 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:26.800 got one of those little things. 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.679 I have a great one. I got one of those 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.280 little feelings on Matt Mrvis. So we could see a 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:35.520 bomb today from Nervis. I feel like Edward Edward Cabrera 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.440 is the type of guy that I think he's going 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:39.360 to get on you groove one down the middle. Matt 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.040 Nervis will absolutely, he will launch mistakes. He doesn't miss 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.560 on mistakes. It's just been about off speed stuff. But 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:47.360 the guy throw Edward Carrera thro was like a ninety 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.480 four mile an hour change up. So I think Nervis 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.480 this might be a nice little debut for Nervis. 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.239 Today. We'll see or it's gonna be four strikeouts. 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.760 But I think it's pretty aggressive because everyone's aggressive on 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.400 the pitchers. It's somewhere between fifteen and twenty percent simply 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.800 because of how how impactful the power bat is. And 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.360 he can move up this lineup like relatively easy. I 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.280 think you can get to five and I wouldn't. I don't 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:06.959 think we'd bat an eye. 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.040 All right, injuries, it's actually not too bad today. I mean, 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:13.760 Jesuss been like forever since we've had an injury list 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.920 and notes of this short White Sox put Jake Berger 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:19.800 on the ten dieil with the oblique strain and he's 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.559 he was great when he came up, but what a 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:24.080 help he's been for people who need a corner help. 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:28.640 My goodness are good well above board. Yeah, additional testing 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.959 and feel that Michael Harris didn't suffer any ligament damage 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.559 his knee, so that's a good thing there. Michael Harris, 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.960 it's starting to feel like one of those like how 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:40.240 Murphy's Law seasons for Michael Harris were last season, right, Yeah, 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.480 it's starting to feel like that now. I know it's 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.880 only May, but between the one injury and it gets 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.040 another injury and people thought he's gonna regress anyway. It's 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:49.840 one of those things to evaluate on your team. If 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.280 your team's doing great and Michael Harris is an ancillary 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:53.800 piece and you could package him with something else, I 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.400 would consider it. And in redraft, well yeah, well not 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:01.000 in dynasty, but in redraft because as the season goes 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.440 and he plays less or he struggles because he didn't 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.400 get this normal you know at bats that he needed 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.760 and he's out of sync. You just never know what 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.720 certain players how this is gonna go. And you know, 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.240 I'm not gonna say, you know, Jason Hayward, I don't 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.240 want to talk about that, but you know we've seen 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.079 this before. This is not something that is impossible when 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.360 it comes to some of these situations where we love 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.080 a player. Player plays a little above his board, everyone's 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.880 excited about in the next year, injuries issues, all this stuff. 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.400 His value is still relatively high, I think in the marketplace, 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.240 so I would be shopping and just seeing because on 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.040 the off chan, somebody's gonna overpay and give you something 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:36.960 really good, or you get package Harris for something else. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.000 I would consider it. Knowing Gorman day to day with 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.760 back tightness, so keep an eye on that because if 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.559 he goes on the I l get to walk back. 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.360 I don't know, we shall see. Joe Musgrove has his 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.760 next Star pushback because of a blister on his foot. Boy, 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:51.800 this guy with the foot stuff, He's like. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:57.000 Yeah, we did the foot jokes yesterday was two days 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:58.640 ago we did we did foot jokes. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.640 Yeah, no more of that and Tyler last. Now we'll 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.840 make his minor league rehab assignment today, so we'll all 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.320 be watching that very very carefully. This weekend is the 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.600 Kentucky Derby. I did a show on it on Betting Pros, 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.640 which was super fun. We had a great guest. I'm 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.719 not a horse racing guy, but it got me thinking, well, 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:15.800 you know, with the Derby coming up, and this is 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.840 an assignment here for all the penuts and crackerjacks in 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.600 the chat or if you know, you want to hits 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.800 up on Twitter. You know, they always have these fun 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.120 names for these horses. I want to get a leading 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:27.960 off inspired name for one of these horses. And and 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.920 like if we all went in together, all of us 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.480 collectively on a horse, what would we name it? Do 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:34.520 we want to name it mayor Bear? Do we want 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.320 to name it the double dong? Like? 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.000 How about I got a little thing? Maybe I got a. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:44.000 Little thing that could certainly be it too. There's a 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:46.760 lot of options here. So I want to hear from 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.880 the chat because this is for you all. This is 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.400 so name the leading off Kentucky Derby horse. I want 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.040 to hear from you. I want to know what you got. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.839 Cracker Jack. That is a good one, cracker jackson car jp. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:06.640 Uh there's one from Wonky Slutter Sweeper Bong that sounds 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:12.480 like it with oldman. Oh that was Taylor Tinker. 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:16.760 Spot Soldier Taylor Tinker. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.240 Well, it's fun Friday. Let's name the horse for the 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.760 Kentucky Derby sponsored by Leading Off. I want to do that. 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.400 One other note as well, the end of an era, 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:34.680 I guess because Matt Harvey is uh dark Knight, dark 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.880 Knight himself, mister Batman has decided to call it a 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.400 career and uh it mixed bag for Matt Harvey. Sure, 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.000 I mean certainly took the world by storm was an 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:48.160 absolute New York Uh oh yeah, We're gonna get a 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.680 lot of these. But Matt Harvey was a New York sensation. 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.960 Obviously did not go the way we all hoped in fantasy, 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.920 the way we hoped as baseball fans, certainly as met fans. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.120 Very disappointing at the end of the day. But he 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.160 held on for quite some time. But he had a 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:06.120 statement today announcing officially his retirement. And Welsh is going 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.720 to read that Matt Harvey statement to you all today 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:10.640 in a Batman voice, So. 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:12.920 This is it's in the Dark Knight voice. So this 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.520 is Matt Harvey's official statement. 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.160 He is the Dark Knight, So I was a Dark 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:21.640 Knight company Welsh in the statement, right, citizens of Gotham, 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:25.760 I have a statement for you to. 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:29.720 The fans, most importantly the New York Mets Fields.

I love to 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:09.560 say goodbye to thank you everyone. We appreciate love. 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:10.080 You know. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.440 Want to feel so bad about Matt Harvey is the 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.960 epitome of lost love. I mean, Adriana Lima broke his 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.600 heart and he was never the same that hotel, that 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.720 one hotel room they tried to get. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.040 And it's not even a joke. 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.800 The team tried to get him out of a hotel 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:28.920 because he was so heartbroken from this super I would 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.480 be heartbroken too for losing that supermodel. Batman lost everything. 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:34.520 He didn't lose his parents but this one, but he 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.280 lost everything else. So Dark Knight, we will always remember you. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.480 You will always remember being here live watching that as well. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:41.800 We got to get that chopped up for social media too. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:42.680 I think that's a winner. 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.040 And put a Batman mask on me too, please. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:51.800 The we'll get that too, all right, So let's continue 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.240 on the show if we can.

Zach Eflin seven innings, ten k's against the Rays. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:40.640 Not I mean with four the Rays. Excuse me over 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:45.359 the the Pirates. Not too shabby, Duarol Rodriguez trying to 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:48.880 get out of Detroit. He is doing everything again, nine strikeouts, 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.800
