Speaker 1: off Live, brought to you by Prize Picks. It's me

Speaker 1: course it's you the Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks live here
Speaker 1: in the channel, the YouTube channel. If you haven't already

Speaker 1: who subscribe to the channel. We appreciate you. We appreciate
Speaker 1: those people get to join us during the live event
Speaker 1: as well. And of course we know some of you
Speaker 1: actually are busy and have jobs I guess and lives
Speaker 1: and you actually listen on the podcast. But we love
Speaker 1: you too. And it's been a lot of baseball to
Speaker 1: talk about. This weekend, we're gonna recap all that look ahead.
Speaker 1: We got a contract extension again for another picture, Welsh.
Speaker 1: Before we do that, I have a review of the
Speaker 1: Super Mario Brothers movie, which I went to see yesterday
Speaker 1: with my kids. Would you like the review?
Speaker 2: Wow? Yeah, this is what we're all here for. Joe,
Speaker 2: We're all here for the wait, hold and one second,
Speaker 2: super Mario, are you like? It's Mario? Are you doing? Hey,
Speaker 2: it's a Mario like you because alloy thing you're doing.
Speaker 2: I just want everyone to know that I hear it.
Speaker 2: If you hear it too, Let's hear about the Mario brothers.
Speaker 1: Mario, Well, Mario is you know it's a Mario. I
Speaker 1: know it's he says he's a Mario. You're the Luigi
Speaker 1: to my Mario. You know what. I think that's what
Speaker 1: we should dress up as for Halloween this year, you
Speaker 1: and I will do a special will dress up as
Speaker 1: Mario and Luigi. You're tall, I'm short. It's all thing.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Here you go Mario Brothers movie. I was
Speaker 1: very excited. I heard good things. Love Jack Black. His
Speaker 1: singing of this song, the Peaches song is probably the
Speaker 1: funniest part. And it was way too short. It should
Speaker 1: have been like a three minute music video. The movie
Speaker 1: looked great. It had all the right pieces, all the
Speaker 1: right Easter eggs, all the right cool things, and and
Speaker 1: everything was there for it to be great. Had the
Speaker 1: right talent. It is so flat and boring. It is
Speaker 1: the most flat and boring on like, like, what a shame.
Speaker 1: It could have been so much better. I told you,
Speaker 1: you know, these these illumination movies. I love the original ones,
Speaker 1: like the the There were Despicable ME one and two great.
Speaker 1: You know, it's really funny stuff in there. But the
Speaker 1: recent ones I've seen, the stories have been crap. Like
Speaker 1: that that Young grew one. I thought the story was crap.
Speaker 1: They missed all the jokes. They didn't have enough jokes.
Speaker 1: They should have had some jokes there for the grown ups,
Speaker 1: because those make those movies more entertaining for everybody. I
Speaker 1: was disappointed. It was a very sad times.
Speaker 2: So I want your political view on Chris Evans in
Speaker 2: his accent of Super Mario.
Speaker 1: Well, that would be Captain America. You mean Chris Pratt,
Speaker 1: Chris Chris Pine another Chris. No, I don't care. It's
Speaker 1: called acting.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The point of acting is life, not it's acting brilliant,
Speaker 1: thank y'all. No, it's again John Lovetz. John Lovett did that,
Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't understand. Like the whole point is,
Speaker 1: if you have the right sensibility as a human, you
Speaker 1: should be able to play whatever car. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: So no, I'm not offended as an Italian that Chris
Speaker 1: Pratt was Mario. I'm offended that the story was boring
Speaker 1: and there was no good jokes. That's what I'm offended about.
Speaker 1: But it's okay because the palette was cleansed because we
Speaker 1: watched John Wick number one last night because they had
Speaker 1: never seen John Wick. The kids and I so what
Speaker 1: a what a vast spectrum to go for Mario to.
Speaker 2: John Cross that over do a crossover here?
Speaker 1: Now you're cooking. Now we got something good. All right,
Speaker 1: let's get to some of the headlines in baseball. See
Speaker 1: what we got going good? Because Pete A. Lonzo's going good.
Speaker 1: He was my home run call for the weekend. Welsh
Speaker 1: Joey's a happy boy. He is two more home runs,
Speaker 1: so I'm up on three. I think now for.
Speaker 2: Really, you never get another home run again. I've just
Speaker 2: turned never do it. It'll just never happen.
Speaker 1: Are you stuck at one? Still? Is that what we want?
Speaker 2: It's just never gonna happen. I just pick all the
Speaker 2: names and have fun. Nope, never gonna happen.
Speaker 1: This is from Code Fi Baseball. Peter Morgan. Alonzo was
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty four home runs. And five hundred
Speaker 1: and forty six MLB games. That is impressive. He's leading
Speaker 1: the league in home runs. His MVP odds on fans
Speaker 1: or plus nine hundred boys and girls. I put some
Speaker 1: money on that today, made an investment on that. I
Speaker 1: think people should too. It's plus eleven hundred on betting
Speaker 1: pros and some other spots and get even better number
Speaker 1: as some other houses. Here's my point with Alonzo. Unlike
Speaker 1: the Braves that have Olsen, Thecunya, Austin Riley, unlike the
Speaker 1: Padres who have Machado and Tatis Coming and Juan Soto,
Speaker 1: and even unlike the Dodgers with Bets and Freeman, Alonzo
Speaker 1: really does stand alone at this offense as the dude.
Speaker 1: And with the way the pitching hasn't been necessarily great,
Speaker 1: with the way the injuries bumping sures are from a start,
Speaker 1: verlinners and thrown a pitchy at this year, I think
Speaker 1: the Alonzo narrative could get really loud, really quickly in
Speaker 1: the National League. What do you think about this, this
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo train that I'm on right now?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, what is your train to MVP or
Speaker 2: to len Homers? Because if you're under MVP. I mean,
Speaker 2: I get what you're going with it. I think the
Speaker 2: Mets would start to have to pull off like a raise,
Speaker 2: you know, and start rattling off thirteen straight wins. And
Speaker 2: it's in despite of all these other things. I agree
Speaker 2: with what you're saying. You've got these stacked other teams
Speaker 2: that I actually think one of those big like one
Speaker 2: Soto MVP votes gets taken away because Tatis will come
Speaker 2: back because is out there.
Speaker 1: So I know we need each other alive. That's the problem.
Speaker 2: I just don't know if this team is going to
Speaker 2: be put in that spot.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: One thing I will say also with Alonzo is like
Speaker 2: he was struggling with batting average and he's starting to
Speaker 2: get going. He's still hitting under two seventy right now.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be incredible if he does hit at like
Speaker 2: a really higher level. I'm gonna go with like, probably
Speaker 2: not Joe, but your logic is really sound in that,
Speaker 2: like so many other teams in each other alive.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna make money on it regardless if
Speaker 1: you're one of those places where you can cash out of. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you put money in right now, like on a
Speaker 1: place off Vandule a nine hundred. You can cash out
Speaker 1: of that and it's gonna be at three to one
Speaker 1: at some point this year.
Speaker 2: So way, your home run that was my favorite in
Speaker 2: the offseason with him, was like especially really really early
Speaker 2: on in the year. The end of the batting average
Speaker 2: is low, but that like home run bet with Pete
Speaker 2: Alonzo was sort of really good one.
Speaker 1: Too as well. The Mets swept the A no surprise there.
Speaker 1: The the also Braves continue to keep pace. They swept
Speaker 1: the Royals. Brett Baty getting called up. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about Brett Batty big impact on fantasy. We talked about
Speaker 1: this when last week left. We said, I was of
Speaker 1: the mind that maybe doesn't come until the end of
Speaker 1: the week after the you know, nine game road trip
Speaker 1: or whatever the heck that they've got here on the
Speaker 1: West Coast. But apparently, like now we've seen enough Escobar,
Speaker 1: Brett Baty era begins, I believe tonight. So your thoughts
Speaker 1: on Brett Batty another big prospect up here? We are
Speaker 1: still yet in May. We've gotten an incredible amount of
Speaker 1: early young, you know, really solid up and coming players
Speaker 1: here and now Baty is up as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this one actually put a tweet on
Speaker 2: if you Sawchow, I said, if Baty is not up
Speaker 2: with the team by Monday, we riot, and I did
Speaker 2: that on Friday, and then I had to cancel the riot,
Speaker 2: and people very upset about the right being Bady.
Speaker 1: I love a good riot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Batty was killing it in the minor so far
Speaker 2: this year, five homers, hitting four hundred with a five
Speaker 2: hundred OVPs, had a couple of stolen bases. And the
Speaker 2: thing that's been so exciting about him is he hits
Speaker 2: the ball super hard. It's one tens left and right.
Speaker 2: He's just one of those guys. He's got that type
Speaker 2: of like he's got that Jordan Walker strength. For Jordan Walker,
Speaker 2: that pure ross strength is just also pushing into some
Speaker 2: you know, into some hits. Baby's gonna be the same
Speaker 2: way now Baty as I think more swing and missing
Speaker 2: his game, and he had a pretty rough early go
Speaker 2: and I think like the long term this has been
Speaker 2: really tough in Dynasty. These guys that could get you
Speaker 2: value this year versus like the long term value of
Speaker 2: another prospect. This is like the ultimate battle because I
Speaker 2: don't know if Baty is a superstar or he's going
Speaker 2: to be a thirty plus homer and hit or anything
Speaker 2: like that. But in like a short term, if he
Speaker 2: is going, he's gonna have some power. He's has some
Speaker 2: big power numbers. So look way, he's a pickup right now,
Speaker 2: he's a big pickup. You go and run and get
Speaker 2: Brett Baty.
Speaker 1: They need some left handed pop in there. He's got
Speaker 1: a really smooth swing. Like you said, he hits the
Speaker 1: ball hard. The defense is a little questionable sometimes too.
Speaker 1: That's the other hang up, but at this point they
Speaker 1: need the offense. It doesn't matter. Continuing on enough, some
Speaker 1: fun things going on here. Pablo Lopez gets an extension.
Speaker 1: Our good friend Craig Mish was actually on our Fantasy
Speaker 1: Fest just a few weeks ago. Broke this not too
Speaker 1: long ago. The Minnesota Twins and pitcher Pablo Lopez are
Speaker 1: closing in on a four year, seventy three million dollar
Speaker 1: contract extension. So that's gonna be finalized soon. Hopefully. It's
Speaker 1: a great job here by the Twins. We talked about
Speaker 1: last week on the show on Friday. I think it
Speaker 1: was about you know, Joe, Ryan, Pablo Lopez. All these
Speaker 1: incredible acquisitions that the Twins have made. The entire rotation,
Speaker 1: even Tyler Molly, all these guys via trade, Sonny Gray,
Speaker 1: the whole group, and now Pablo Lopez they're sticking with him.
Speaker 1: And I think this is good because Pablo Lopez looks
Speaker 1: tremendous to start the year.
Speaker 2: It's funny you say that too, because I got the
Speaker 2: trade video that's coming up tomorrow and there is a
Speaker 2: Twins pitcher in there that we're going to talk about,
Speaker 2: and it is crazy. As we've kind of gone through
Speaker 2: the motions of whatever they're doing in their camp for
Speaker 2: their pitching staff, every single one of these guys is altering.
Speaker 2: There's new pitches, there's scratch pitches. You know, I'll just
Speaker 2: break it. It's into it. Tyler Maley is the guy
Speaker 2: that's in there, and he's completely kind of scrapped one
Speaker 2: of his four big pitches he through last year and
Speaker 2: focusing on the big three. And then we've seen that
Speaker 2: with Pabolopez, we see Joe Ryan with a split finger.
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool what they're doing and it seems to
Speaker 2: be working. And it's a good bet to bet on
Speaker 2: Twins pitchers right now, which is, like I thought. I've
Speaker 2: never said that ever.
Speaker 1: Hey man, I like I said even went and trolled
Speaker 1: the Yankees, and look, he had a tough loss there
Speaker 1: to Garret Cole threw a shutout on Sunday. What are
Speaker 1: you gonna do? I mean, he just now I'm pitched.
Speaker 1: You know, Garret Cole has been fantastic this year. He's
Speaker 1: a good question from Mark Todd Bradley starting Tuesday. No
Speaker 1: surprise there, Lucky with the scoop up canny stick around
Speaker 1: for a while. I say, yes, I picked him up
Speaker 1: in my home league. I spent a lot of fab
Speaker 1: on his twenty three dollars on him because I wanted him.
Speaker 1: He's also got keeper implications. Excuse me, So I just
Speaker 1: wanted him and I'm mad because I could have had
Speaker 1: him for free two weeks before. He was on my
Speaker 1: list of guys and they just have room. Not only
Speaker 1: do I add Bradley, but on the low key, I
Speaker 1: also added Matthew Liviator, who you know. I know. We
Speaker 1: made some jokes at the end about the was what's
Speaker 1: what's the lipator for? Great? It wasn't. It's cholesterol? Right sure,
Speaker 1: libertur is for the Saint Louis Cardo's rotation, because that
Speaker 1: rotation stinks.
Speaker 2: Right now, LIBERATORI you're saying it like the medication now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am. I'm saying it like the medication now
Speaker 1: because it's fun. But that's the next guy to come
Speaker 1: up to. So I'm telling everybody right now, be proactive,
Speaker 1: stash him now. He's been terrific and triple A. But
Speaker 1: I think Bradley's gonna stick around for a long time
Speaker 1: because I just don't trust the health of any of
Speaker 1: these guys in Tampa. What do you think about Bradley?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean we're already looking at Jeffrey Springs
Speaker 2: being out eight weeks or possibly more with this injury.
Speaker 2: It's like long extended Eflyn's out there, which you know
Speaker 2: that could go one way or the other. But yeah,
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, Tadz Bradley had a
Speaker 2: little bit of a path on a short stint when
Speaker 2: when e Flyn went down, and now there's a much
Speaker 2: bigger one and he's getting another opportunity to put out there.
Speaker 2: So I know we had some people that were like, oh, man,
Speaker 2: I want to play it in your leagues. You guys
Speaker 2: are so aggressive, like early on is when you want
Speaker 2: to be aggressive with Fabius and some of these young guys.
Speaker 2: So I definitely was a you know, ten to fifteen percent,
Speaker 2: maybe even into twenty pinning your own league. If you
Speaker 2: could do it, you obviously did that shoe, and that's
Speaker 2: how you were gonna win him.
Speaker 1: I mean the fifteen team league too. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: get a lot of starting pitchers who make an impact.
Speaker 1: And the fact that you threw one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: innings last year makes me excited that Bradley cannot be here.
Speaker 1: Be like when these guys were like, well we got
Speaker 1: to you know, let's let's put him in plastic crap
Speaker 1: and figure everything's over day, give missippy cop. Everything will
Speaker 1: be fine if you're.
Speaker 2: Going to happen. Okay, if you don't think Mama Papa
Speaker 2: Rays aren't gonna steal baby their little Taj, Bradley, I
Speaker 2: think you need a second thought there.
Speaker 1: A little baby Taj Very.
Speaker 2: The bids were crazy on Taj.
Speaker 1: As well, were the bids in n FBC.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I think someone went up into the three hundred,
Speaker 2: so that's about thirty percent or even in the forty
Speaker 2: percent range, I think most.
Speaker 1: I don't think that got crazy there either, because if
Speaker 1: he gives you twelve to fifteen quality starts, this year, right,
Speaker 1: something in that range. I think that well, yeah, if
Speaker 1: it does, those are sharky leagues. That's tough.
Speaker 2: The only point to this is the bet of what
Speaker 2: you're putting the money on. It's only about if he
Speaker 2: sticks around. It's not about his talent, like if he
Speaker 2: were given a rotation spot here, blow it out the water.
Speaker 2: The only bet you're making is on how long he
Speaker 2: sticks around, not like how good he's going to be
Speaker 2: at this point, because we kind of all have settled
Speaker 2: on like this is the level of how good this
Speaker 2: guy can be struck out eight in his debut. It's
Speaker 2: just are you willing to bet twenty percent of your
Speaker 2: fab that he sticks around? And I think the current
Speaker 2: case of their rotation, it's a decent bet.
Speaker 1: Don't forget to subscribe everybody to the YouTube so you
Speaker 1: know when the trade video comes out tomorrow too that
Speaker 1: Welsh was talking about before. That's important stuff there. Good
Speaker 1: news read debt Merz bounce back six innings, seven k's
Speaker 1: to earn, so your window is now shut to buy him.
Speaker 1: Marcus Simmon hit a grand slam on Sunday. Luis Castillo
Speaker 1: flirting with perfection for a little while, and then we
Speaker 1: had Garrett Cole as I mentioned before, with the shutout,
Speaker 1: Garrett Witlock striking out five in the win on Sunday.
Speaker 1: That's good. This is always that day too with the
Speaker 1: Red Sox where they have that at Boston Marathon eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock Patriots Day game that screws with every single league
Speaker 1: where everybody has to email their commissioner and say, oh,
Speaker 1: you get my lineup in on time? Well, you know.
Speaker 2: I woke up and honestly, why the hell is this
Speaker 2: game at eight am on the everywhere?
Speaker 1: They do this every year every year, the Patriots Day game.
Speaker 1: It's what they do. All right. Let's get to some
Speaker 1: serious business here. Alec Manoa struggling again seven runs. What's
Speaker 1: going on here with Alec Manoa? Because I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people are starting to panic, and I think
Speaker 1: this is a this is a makes sense moment here
Speaker 1: to maybe start to hit the panic button. I loved
Speaker 1: Manoa going into the season. It has not been the
Speaker 1: greatest start, So what's going on here?
Speaker 2: Yeah? This he was actually one of my il one
Speaker 2: of my bold predictions of guys that was gonna implode.
Speaker 2: He also, when you compare his era toos like it's
Speaker 2: expected era, it was way bigger. By the way, it
Speaker 2: was like around the fours what you're seeing right now,
Speaker 2: and everything's kind of flattening out. Lance Brasdowski did a
Speaker 2: really good breakdown, as he always does. By the way,
Speaker 2: if you guys ever want to follow him on Twitter,
Speaker 2: it's Lance Bras and he has these kind of daily
Speaker 2: notes in here. So I'm going to kind of steal
Speaker 2: this for a second. I want to give him credit though,
Speaker 2: but as he mentioned in here, the struggles, you're seeing
Speaker 2: stuff plus down across the board. His four seam is
Speaker 2: down a mile per hour. Vertical break isn't the same.
Speaker 2: The slider has become less ineffect. I mean it is.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even really need to give you
Speaker 2: all of this. He's losing extension, the command is off,
Speaker 2: it's across the board decrease. Though, I would say go
Speaker 2: and read Lances right up on his Twitter because he
Speaker 2: kind of is like, hey, listen, he's not this bad.
Speaker 2: But I don't think that matters because he is at
Speaker 2: a level of bad and even if it improves, what
Speaker 2: does that get you. So I'm not a big investment guy.
Speaker 2: I think you should be worried. There could be a
Speaker 2: by opportunity because Toronto is so great, and you know
Speaker 2: he levels out a little bit. But I don't. I'm
Speaker 2: not interested really across.
Speaker 1: Unless there's just something physically wrong with him too that
Speaker 1: he's just trying to pitch through and we don't know
Speaker 1: that yet. That's the problem is we just don't. I
Speaker 1: hate these kind of scenarios because there's no reason why
Speaker 1: Minoa would regress this year. So the only thing I
Speaker 1: can think of is injury. So that's the only thing
Speaker 1: that concerns me. Here's a funny story here from the
Speaker 1: Wonky Penguin. I'm in a league where someone accidentally, quote
Speaker 1: unquote accidentally dropped a gram and did the I didn't
Speaker 1: mean to, and the commissioner let him pick him back up.
Speaker 1: I think the commissioner's right here. I mean, the integrity
Speaker 1: of the league is important. People are dopes, they make mistakes. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know this is you know, let's let's all play,
Speaker 1: let's all have fun. I I don't. It's not like
Speaker 1: you're playing NFBC where you do something like that and
Speaker 1: that's like, well, you're sol I think you let the
Speaker 1: person pick him back up, but you say, hey, be
Speaker 1: more careful next time. You dope, what do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean people are stupid. One hundred percent agree,
Speaker 2: they're very dumb.
Speaker 1: Wonky's been hanging out too much with Mike Mayer.
Speaker 2: The only thing is like I've we've all kind of
Speaker 2: done this and I've seen this, but you do need
Speaker 2: to like immediately say so, like what did the guy
Speaker 2: butt drop him? And then like three days later he's like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, Like you should. It's gotta be within
Speaker 2: a reasonable amount of time. Though, I agree. My one
Speaker 2: of my biggest like holdouts of fantasy. It's supposed to
Speaker 2: be fun. It's about fun. So many people work so
Speaker 2: hard to make it not fun, like this is you know,
Speaker 2: like we are selling the Washington Commanders and we're the
Speaker 2: Snyder's here, Like, it's is a fun game, so you
Speaker 2: should do whatever you can to make it fun.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's have some fun here with this one.
Speaker 1: Sandy al Contra again a little shaky, weird start for him. Again.
Speaker 1: He had nine strikeouts in this one, so the strikeouts
Speaker 1: are way up. Is there a window here to buy
Speaker 1: Sandy al Cantara or is this kind of just one
Speaker 1: of those things where you just go He's just so good.
Speaker 1: It's just that other start was a weird blip on
Speaker 1: the radar. What do you think here? It feels like
Speaker 1: this might be a small window.
Speaker 2: I think there's like a small window in there. I
Speaker 2: would be interested, And I'm not with alec Manoa, I
Speaker 2: am with al Contra. But okay, what is it? Did
Speaker 2: we go from he's not tradeable to all listen? Do
Speaker 2: we go from he's not tradable to I'll take ninety
Speaker 2: five cents on the dollar. I don't know what those
Speaker 2: trades look like, and I don't know, you know, we talked.
Speaker 1: About look at Kevin who has been like untouchable so
Speaker 1: far this year. He's got an era of one that's
Speaker 1: not gonna last. Would you trade would you try to
Speaker 1: kick it Kevin Gosman for Sandy al Contrac.
Speaker 2: Would I trade Kevin Gosman to get Sandy al Contra? Yeah,
Speaker 2: and a heartbeat right and send them a care package
Speaker 2: from one hundred flowers one hundred percent would do that.
Speaker 2: But the problem with al Contra has been like the
Speaker 2: strikeout numbers just don't equate till like the elite innings
Speaker 2: he puts up and stuff. But I would still go by.
Speaker 2: But like, if that's the case. To me, that's eighty
Speaker 2: five cents on the dollar if you're doing if you're
Speaker 2: doing a Gossman. But I think it's more like Gossman
Speaker 2: and a hitting piece for our contra. It's never gonna
Speaker 2: be a one for one pitching type of thing. I
Speaker 2: just don't think anyone's getting out of the al contra
Speaker 2: business right now.
Speaker 1: I probably agree with you, but if you're gonna try,
Speaker 1: this might be the only shot you have. Edward Julian
Speaker 1: still hitting a leadoff again. He had a tough stretch.
Speaker 1: Are you gotta face Garrett Cole? It's a one other
Speaker 1: good pitchers there the Yankees ad after that first great
Speaker 1: night he had there. Anthony Volpi hitting lead off yesterday,
Speaker 1: He's got seven steals, but he continues to struggle. Both
Speaker 1: these guys are at the top of the order. Both
Speaker 1: are struggling. I say, patients with these two guys. A
Speaker 1: lot of people are losing patients with Volpi already. I
Speaker 1: don't think they should. What do you think?
Speaker 2: No, I mean Volpie put up. He already showed you
Speaker 2: what he can do. The other day is stealing three
Speaker 2: bases in one game. Also, I want to throw in
Speaker 2: Zach Netto who got the call up, who I don't
Speaker 2: think we mentioned this weekend. Who's a huge prospect and
Speaker 2: really an incredible run, one of the quickest runs I've
Speaker 2: ever seen for a position player to get up to
Speaker 2: the majors by the Angels. He led off. So a
Speaker 2: lot of these teams, I wonder if it is a
Speaker 2: true we're going to have these players lead off, or
Speaker 2: if it's a true we want these guys to see
Speaker 2: pitches and get comfortable and gets settled in. I think
Speaker 2: any of these guys getting out of that business is
Speaker 2: way too early. Specifically Anthony Volpi Ah some really good
Speaker 2: numbers here from Fernando Tatsis junior and now Paso.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be back on Thursday when the suspension ends.
Speaker 1: Twenty at bats he's it in seven hundred with six
Speaker 1: home run, thirteen RBI, thirty three total bases. Not too shabby.
Speaker 1: And also Joe Muscrow fanning eight in his rehab start.
Speaker 1: So the San Diego Padres don't worry. Reinforcements are on
Speaker 1: their way. Good thing. The only other injury to really
Speaker 1: chat about from Estrada is Avaso Garcia. Day to day
Speaker 1: with that risk contusion, this was a fun thing I
Speaker 1: saw on MLB dot com that I want to talk
Speaker 1: about the show. I did not realize and make this equation,
Speaker 1: but apparently Lynn Manuel Miranda is cousins with the twins
Speaker 1: Jose Miranda. I did not know this. Did you know this? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I didn't know about that. Yeah, there's something that came
Speaker 2: up like last year, the year before. I actually want
Speaker 2: to say, lin Manuel Miranda came on to one of
Speaker 2: the MLB network shows like last year and they did
Speaker 2: this bit.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I didn't see it. Well, he was at
Speaker 1: the stadium to say hello and watch the game and stuff.
Speaker 1: And apparently Linn Manuel's grandfather in Puerto Rico coached Bernie
Speaker 1: Williams in Little League. So talk about like crazy weird
Speaker 1: scenarios and.
Speaker 2: Manuel Miranda for everybody is from the creator Hamilton. Yeah, Hamilton, Hamilton. Okay, well,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying everybody.
Speaker 1: Should see Hamilton. It's great. I saw Hamilton twice on
Speaker 1: Broadway and I saw Hamilton at least twice. Hamilton on
Speaker 1: the Disney Plus. Hamilton is incredible. It's great. If you
Speaker 1: haven't seen Hamilton, go to the Run to the.
Speaker 2: D Hamilton or Super Mario, which one.
Speaker 1: Please Hamilton might be. And I look, I have seen
Speaker 1: theater in New York. I've seen theater in California, I've
Speaker 1: seen theater in Chicago, I've seen theater in London. Of
Speaker 1: all the things I've ever seen in my life, and
Speaker 1: I've seen some really high end actors and some really
Speaker 1: high end productions, Hamilton is the best fully formed production
Speaker 1: of anything. And I don't like musicals. It's really more
Speaker 1: of an opera. It is a musical. It's an opera.
Speaker 1: Nobody's There was no dialogue where they just als sudden
Speaker 1: breaking a song, which always piss me off. I'm a
Speaker 1: little salty this morning. But Hamilton is really speaking.
Speaker 2: You're really speaking to your audience here too.
Speaker 1: I don't care. The numbers keep going up, so what
Speaker 1: do I care. Hamilton is the single greatest piece of
Speaker 1: conceptual theater that I've ever seen in my entire life period.
Speaker 1: Out of story. You should go see it. It's very good.
Speaker 2: Like the New Cats movie, The Digital Cats of Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: You're swifty, I'm going to see Taylor Swift. You know
Speaker 1: that you are, of course I am. I have to.
Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of father would I be if
Speaker 1: I didn't take my kids see Taylor Swift. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you, all right, let's get to some interesting stats here.
Speaker 1: I was looking into the FIP and the eras. You
Speaker 1: know how I like to do that now, but we
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a little bit to go on,
Speaker 1: you know, we have a little bit more. You know,
Speaker 1: one star two starts one fish, blue fish. She doesn't
Speaker 1: make a whole lot. Now we're starting to get into
Speaker 1: the season a little bit. Nadi Evaldi era is at
Speaker 1: six point three two, his XCRA is at three five nine,
Speaker 1: his FIP is eleventh best in baseball at two point
Speaker 1: three seven, and the x FIP is two point eight zero.
Speaker 1: I am buying Nate Eovaldi a lot of people. I
Speaker 1: guarantee you probably dropping him in shallow leagues after the
Speaker 1: six cra start those numbers. Scream by to me, what
Speaker 1: do you think?
Speaker 2: No, one hundred percent agree, that's so funny that you
Speaker 2: did this. Because I did an episode with the CBS
Speaker 2: guys last week and our boy, our mutual friend, Stamps,
Speaker 2: Frankie Stamps hit me up and he's like, all right,
Speaker 2: you gotta have a pitcher. You gotta have one by pitcher,
Speaker 2: And this is exactly who I picked I picked Nate
Speaker 2: Yuvaldi because also on top of all of it, the
Speaker 2: strikeout numbers are there, you know, the velo is there. Like,
Speaker 2: I am very very much with this. He's one of
Speaker 2: those guys that might, like you said, it might not
Speaker 2: even have to be a trade four because he might
Speaker 2: just have been cut and sitting out there. So yes,
Speaker 2: give me the Evalde.
Speaker 1: This is how good Hamilton is. Mike Mayer and I
Speaker 1: actually agree on something like this is a first wow.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Mike Mayer says, I have to agree.
Speaker 1: Hamilton is incredibly It is incredible, Like it's.
Speaker 2: It's fantastic, it's cool, it's great, and.
Speaker 1: I'm track's amazing. Everything's amazing. Here's a guy sell high though,
Speaker 1: and this was the stats coming into Friday's game, and
Speaker 1: then he had a big Sunday. Also, Bryson Stott of
Speaker 1: the Phillies. He has a BABIP well over five hundred
Speaker 1: right now. His walk percentage one point eight, the strikeout
Speaker 1: rate is over twenty five percent, the ISO is point
Speaker 1: zero seven to three. Get he has a four hundred
Speaker 1: batting average and he's got a four hundred plus OBP.
Speaker 1: Look Bryson Stott to me, Welch's just not this good.
Speaker 1: This is this is your quintessential. Everything's coming up Millhouse.
Speaker 1: For Bryson Stott right now, I am selling if you've
Speaker 1: got him like in a deeper league. I am moving
Speaker 1: on from me. What do you think about Bryson Stott
Speaker 1: in the polar opposite of this conversation.
Speaker 2: I think he's a dead zone guy.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I think he is. He's right in that middle, because
Speaker 2: what the hell are you gonna get for Bryson Stott?
Speaker 2: If you could go and trade Bryson Stott and get
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 1: Of short stuff? Hold on, hold on, hold on. You
Speaker 1: got Tim Anderson out, You've got Corey Seeger out. These
Speaker 1: guys are out for months. Like, would it helps them?
Speaker 2: Would you trade Brayson Stott, Bryson Stott for Nady Evaldi?
Speaker 1: Oh? I wouldn't want Avaldi one hundred more than Stock.
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess my point. And I think there's some
Speaker 2: players that just live in this space where it's like,
Speaker 2: is it worth trading them for little to nothing or
Speaker 2: is it worth just taking what you're getting out of this?
Speaker 2: Because the babbit, he's gonna he's gonna regress down. He's
Speaker 2: absolutely gonna come down. He's not walking. He's not Corbyn
Speaker 2: Carroll in that he never walked, but he almost never walks,
Speaker 2: so I think that like lowers the floor. But I
Speaker 2: would just like, I'm not sure what you can get
Speaker 2: fro him. So I agree in the sense that he's
Speaker 2: going to come back down to earth a little bit,
Speaker 2: but I just don't know what it gets for you.
Speaker 2: So you can entertain offers, but I just don't think
Speaker 2: anybody's out there trying to get Bryson stopped. But maybe
Speaker 2: they are. Maybe they had Tim Anderson. Maybe they're just
Speaker 2: working out and crying.
Speaker 1: Here's why I love the ps, the Crackerjacks. Here's one
Speaker 1: from EU E two K Joe sicreally wishes he was
Speaker 1: a theater major. I was a theater major. I was
Speaker 1: a conservatory acting major, and I studied Shakespeare at the
Speaker 1: Royal Shakespeare Company at Oxford. Okay, I went to Oxford
Speaker 1: to study theater too. Yeah, don't I know. It's just
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, I'm gonna I'm gonna make a funny
Speaker 1: joke and exposed Joe for what for the truth, It's
Speaker 1: just the truth.
Speaker 3: I aren't very Yeah, you're very dramatic, so we can
Speaker 3: all sir, how dare you say such words to me?
Speaker 3: That was a very dramatic reading right now, and you're in,
Speaker 3: by the way and your Sopranos jacket, your life.
Speaker 1: I know I look like an extra from John Wick.
Speaker 1: I look like one of the guys today from the
Speaker 1: Russian Mobby. Like my slick jacket. We do they it's
Speaker 1: very shiny and like all sorts of baseball talk for
Speaker 1: you in the YouTube channels. All right, three up, three down,
Speaker 1: Garrett Cale, I mean complete games, shut out ten k's
Speaker 1: what more needs to be said. Pablo Lopez was great
Speaker 1: in that game. Zach Gallon continues to be awesome. I've
Speaker 1: got money on him. And Spencer strinder Forth.
Speaker 2: Agree with me about Zach Gallan getting better, No.
Speaker 1: I said, I didn't disagree with you. What I said
Speaker 1: about Gallen was it's the take. I think you have
Speaker 1: to know your roster and know what you can handle,
Speaker 1: because I thought there was a little bit of risk
Speaker 1: there because we've seen him roll in. Okay, that's fine. Hey,
Speaker 1: you want to you want to take it to me,
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Alex Manoa four and two thirds, he's
Speaker 1: on the down side here, seven earned runs for him,
Speaker 1: that era six nine eight. Aaron Bummer lived up to
Speaker 1: his name for the White Sox Man, the White Sox
Speaker 1: bullpen is bad. But on top of which, zero innings pitched,
Speaker 1: two hits, three earned his era's at eight four four.
Speaker 1: Right now, he was dreadful. And I'll tell you what, man,
Speaker 1: You know you don't get an out in the game.
Speaker 1: That's always that. That is a bummer. That is definitively
Speaker 1: a bummer. Louis Sessa was also a bummer. Three innings,
Speaker 1: fourteen hits, eleven earned runs. Uh no, boy no, his
Speaker 1: era's at thirteen to five. So uh, Welsh, what do
Speaker 1: you say? We uh, we take a moment here and
Speaker 1: we do a little prize picking.
Speaker 2: You like the price picking, Let's do the prize picking.
Speaker 2: Let's prizy pickies, all right.
Speaker 1: Because when you pick prizes, make sure you use that
Speaker 1: promo code leading off. When you sign up, you get
Speaker 1: one hundred percent deposit match up to one hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: But again you have to use the promo code leading off.
Speaker 1: Make sure you go to prize picks dot com to play,
Speaker 1: or just download the prize Picks app. It's fun, it's hip,
Speaker 1: it's cool again leading off, one word very easy to remember.
Speaker 1: So Welsh, what do you have for the boys and
Speaker 1: girls today?
Speaker 2: Let's hit some prize picks today. I've got three. I
Speaker 2: actually wanted to go four or five, just go for
Speaker 2: broke here, but I've got three for you. Jose Ramirez
Speaker 2: one and a half, hit run RBI, lock that in,
Speaker 2: Wander Franco score six and a half, and it's going
Speaker 2: up against Hunter Green doesn't have a career hit or
Speaker 2: anything like that, but he's wander Franco walks will also
Speaker 2: take and Marcus Simeon total bases one and a half.
Speaker 2: So it's all hitters, Ramirez, hit run, RBI, wander Franco score,
Speaker 2: and Marcus Simeon total basis for my three. Lock it in, baby,
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 1: For me? On the prize picking today, I'm going with
Speaker 1: Jacob mcgram the over on the eight and a half
Speaker 1: strikeouts against the Royals, Marcus Simeon the over on the
Speaker 1: one half total basis today in that same game, and
Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo is on a hot streak. I love this one.
Speaker 1: The hits plus runs plus RBI's one point five. So
Speaker 1: that's why pet Alonzo line too. That's right, It's like
Speaker 1: the math from the movie Clue one plus one plus
Speaker 1: two plus one. That also a great movie there, underrated film.
Speaker 1: Let's get to some of the bettings today. You know
Speaker 1: how last week I felt really good about the upset
Speaker 1: of Joe Ryan and the Twins Yankee Stadium. I got
Speaker 1: a good feeling today about Arizona going to Saint Louis.
Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty and the Saint Louis Cardinals are massive favorites
Speaker 1: in this game. And I'm not sure why Merle Kelly's
Speaker 1: on the mound. Merle plus one thirty five, give me
Speaker 1: Arizona on the money line here on this one all
Speaker 1: day long. Wander Franco point five runs. Give me the over.
Speaker 1: That's a plus one fifty over betting pros dot com,
Speaker 1: and that's a bet mgm. Also at bet mgm six
Speaker 1: and a half strikeouts on the over for Corbyn Burns
Speaker 1: that is at minus one forty five. So you paint
Speaker 1: a lot of juice there. So you have to put
Speaker 1: that with something else. But if you want to put
Speaker 1: that in a parlay with Milwaukee beating Seattle, because the're
Speaker 1: going to get flexing today, I think that's a really
Speaker 1: good situation. Welsh, what are you looking forward to in
Speaker 1: the betting market today.
Speaker 2: All right, a couple things probably if you want to
Speaker 2: follow me on Twitter, whatever hit me up you can
Speaker 2: ask about. I may put another thing or two on
Speaker 2: the Betting Pros group leaderboard group if you guys want
Speaker 2: to check it out. But what I got today user
Speaker 2: Ramirez Nolan Aronado hit parlay both of them just to
Speaker 2: get one hit. That's Ramirez and Aeronado. That gets you
Speaker 2: an even even money at one to one.
Speaker 1: Husser.
Speaker 2: Ramira's total bases is plus one fifteen. I like that
Speaker 2: a lot today. Austin Riley total bases plus one ten
Speaker 2: at one and a half. I like that. And I'm
Speaker 2: betting Texasin to be up by a run through their
Speaker 2: first five. It's a little bit juiced, but Jacob Degraum
Speaker 2: is on the line. Those are my four big bets
Speaker 2: for today.
Speaker 1: And make sure you go to bettingpros dot com slash
Speaker 1: leading off and join our little betting group that we've
Speaker 1: got going on there. Some really good stuff happening there.
Speaker 1: Also before we get to the home run calls. This
Speaker 1: was just a fun thing I wanted to pop here
Speaker 1: in the chat. I saw this and I thought all
Speaker 1: the trolls in the chat would love this because this
Speaker 1: is the trolliest of the troll thing that I've ever
Speaker 1: seen troll. The Marlins are doing Bartman Appreciation Weekend against
Speaker 1: the Cubs this weekend, so celebrating the twenty excuse me,
Speaker 1: the twenty year anniversary of the two thousand and three
Speaker 1: NLCS victory, the famous Bartman game where he reached over
Speaker 1: and moists Alou lost his mind and then the Cubs
Speaker 1: ended up being the Cubs. Look at this, Welsh. Can
Speaker 1: you believe that they're doing this? I mean, I hope
Speaker 1: he's there and getting paid for this. They've got the
Speaker 1: silhouette out there. Shout out to Ethan for making this
Speaker 1: graphic for me today. But this is a real thing
Speaker 1: that they're doing this. How do you feel about this?
Speaker 1: Is this funny? Is this crappy?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's hilarious, but I also think
Speaker 2: it's wildly ridiculous because it's along the lines of all
Speaker 2: it would be like celebrating a guy that ran on
Speaker 2: the field and like ended a gamer. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: like I want a guy to put his hand out
Speaker 2: during this appreciation weekend and grab a ball that a
Speaker 2: player could get, and then I want to see what
Speaker 2: they're gonna do because it's apartment a pre Like what
Speaker 2: are you talking about? Like are you gonna throw them out?
Speaker 2: Did you do that?
Speaker 1: Like? What are they gonna do? Like what's the giveaway?
Speaker 1: Like that's what I want to know. What are they
Speaker 1: give you?
Speaker 2: Whatever?
Speaker 1: Someone will take a love look at Mike may or
Speaker 1: Brian Maultcastle Appreciation Day as well. So that's always that's
Speaker 1: that's evergreen right there, That's what that is. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's get to the home run calls and the DFS
Speaker 1: stuff here today in DFS against best, Jacob de gram
Speaker 1: lineup wins most likely against the Royals. Corbyn. Burns is
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars cheaper, though, so I would do at
Speaker 1: least one lineup with de Gram, one with Burns uh,
Speaker 1: and then Merle Kelly again in my upset? Can I
Speaker 1: continue to invest their eight point one k Milwaukee, Chicago, Cubs,
Speaker 1: Atlanta and Arizona. Those are the stacks I like today
Speaker 1: and you can find some value. Azzi Albi's just two
Speaker 1: point eight, Vaughan Grisom is two point eight, and Gabrielle
Speaker 1: Moreno two point one in that Arizona lineup. I like
Speaker 1: him a lot trolling Jack Flaherty. H let's get to
Speaker 1: the home run calls. I'm going with Willia Doms today.
Speaker 1: Willia Thomas is my boy, going against Chris Flexen because
Speaker 1: that guy's not very good. Welsh, come on, let's get
Speaker 1: home run for you. What do you got?
Speaker 2: It's never gonna happen, So, I mean, just be guaranteed,
Speaker 2: it's literally never gonna happen. There's no chance there's I mean,
Speaker 2: what will there be at the end of April Joe
Speaker 2: more Homer calls by me or walks by Corbyn, Carroll Verman.
Speaker 2: Carl has zero, I have one.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say walks by Corbyn Carroll.
Speaker 2: But you know what I want to point out, I've
Speaker 2: been doing this whole thing with Carol in the walk
Speaker 2: might happen today because Flerty had flarity check out this
Speaker 2: incredible number. By the way, this is amazing. Did you
Speaker 2: know that Jack Flaherty has a higher walk per nine
Speaker 2: than k per nine. He has more walks per nine
Speaker 2: than strikeouts. Eight are the walks per nine. It's an
Speaker 2: insane number. So Carol might get one. I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: to Hosey Ramirez for my home run call, so he
Speaker 2: clearly will not hit all. He'll had three doubles today,
Speaker 2: so played the total base marker again.
Speaker 1: Shout out to the leader board too. Let me bring
Speaker 1: that up real quick here and shout out because I
Speaker 1: don't know if we have a new leader or not,
Speaker 1: but certainly the new high total BHB Daddy has taken
Speaker 1: back the lead along with Lowry c at eight and
Speaker 1: prime Time is up there eight as well, so there
Speaker 1: you go. I'm at three, so I'm not quite the
Speaker 1: leader board yet, but again, if you want to continue
Speaker 1: to make home run calls and join us in there.
Speaker 1: The month of April is nearly over, but giving away
Speaker 1: monthly prizes. There's gonna be a grand prize too, that
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carol autographed helmet. Maybe we can get him to
Speaker 1: put his walk number on there too, that'd be fun.
Speaker 1: But also we're giving that premium giveaway. Well, I gotta
Speaker 1: do his comment below here on the YouTube channel. Make
Speaker 1: sure you subscriber the YouTube channel. We just gave one
Speaker 1: away on the NFL channel. We're gonna give one away

Speaker 1: You're done. You have to go from spot to spot.

Speaker 1: the good decisions and do all that. I'm excited for

Speaker 1: times here. We want everybody to again to subscribe to
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel if you haven't already. When we get
Speaker 1: to fifteen thousand, just so you know, I will wear
Speaker 1: a wig the entire week of Welsh's choice. It could
Speaker 1: be different wigs. We don't know. But if you want
Speaker 1: to give joeyp some hair, this is your opportunity. So
Speaker 1: share with your friends, tell everybody about the Great fourteen?
Speaker 2: Could we get a Mario hat? Could we get a
Speaker 2: Mario hat?
Speaker 1: A Mario? Miss Mario? Is he the Brooklyn in me?
Speaker 2: Says married fourteen? I would like the mustache with a
Speaker 2: Mario hat.
Speaker 1: It's the Adio when a you talking to me like
Speaker 1: the daddy? This is about YOUO hey, Luis, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? You had a plumber? That's okay, it's a
Speaker 1: good you know. You know. The best part is there
Speaker 1: was a little tiny easter egg in the movie there
Speaker 1: where Mario is in the pizza place, which is by
Speaker 1: the way. It's all like Mike Tyson punch Out themed
Speaker 1: pizza place, all the pictures on the wall, very funny.
Speaker 1: But there's a little thing in the corner there for
Speaker 1: jump Man, which is the original name for Mario Bros.
Speaker 1: Which people don't know that they made him. They designed
Speaker 1: the game it was called Jumpman, but then the problem
Speaker 1: was the graphics were so bad at the time. It
Speaker 1: just looked like a blob of a face. So they
Speaker 1: gave him a mustache, and then when they gave him mustache,
Speaker 1: they decided to change it and change the character and
Speaker 1: make him Italian.
Speaker 2: There you go, a little bit of education, now you know,
Speaker 2: and you know a battle.
Speaker 1: There you go. See Trent knows jump man. Let's go
Speaker 1: all right, there you go. Everybody, have a great day,
Speaker 1: enjoy your baseball. Batt'll do it for us. But the
Speaker 1: story of the game goes on for the Welsh. I'm
Speaker 1: Joey P. We'll see you next time. Kids,
