Speaker 1: Another big day from the Big Hoss. Let's play ball.
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is leading off.
Speaker 1: It is me, Joey b Joe Pi's apia with me
Speaker 1: today is Scott Bogman because Officer Welsh is under the
Speaker 1: weather as we knew yesterday, so special thanks to Bogs
Speaker 1: filling in for him today. I still have a voice
Speaker 1: as of right now after four and a half hours
Speaker 1: of coverage of the NFL Draft last night, so we'll
Speaker 1: see how far we get. But we are brought to
Speaker 1: you as always on our Fantasy Pros MLB channel by
Speaker 1: Bet MGM, the King of sportsbooks, Scott Bogman. It was
Speaker 1: a busy night of football, so it's nice to have
Speaker 1: a little soorbet, a little palate cleanser, if you will,
Speaker 1: of baseball to talk about. So, how are you adjusting
Speaker 1: to life with Kenny Pickett? Number one and number two?
Speaker 1: How do you feel about some of the stuff he's
Speaker 1: last night Major League Baseball, including Ronald Acunya coming back
Speaker 1: and oh wait, stealing two bases which he wasn't supposed
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett is, whatever, you know, not my favorite pick,
Speaker 2: but the Steelers have had worse. So I'm not not
Speaker 2: like upset. But with the yesterday, with the baseball, the
Speaker 2: pitching was phenomenal. It was so good yesterday. It was
Speaker 2: really incredible. We had a hard time finding a stat
Speaker 2: zero for pictures because they were all so bleo good. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you know, that was very, very impressive. Seeing all
Speaker 2: those good pictures with all the strikeouts, and seeing that
Speaker 2: Alec Manoa was on the lance Lynn diet in the
Speaker 2: off season is also great.
Speaker 3: So love that.
Speaker 1: Love me a hoss, Give me a big ol' hoss
Speaker 1: like lance Lynn Alec Manoa. Not enough of those guys.
Speaker 1: I want everybody to be built like Lamar Hoyt from
Speaker 1: the eighties. That's what I want. And if you get
Speaker 1: that reference, then you and I can be friends. Everyone
Speaker 1: out there. All right, let's kick things off here with
Speaker 1: Ronald Acuna, who did get a hit and as I said,
Speaker 1: stole two bases in his season debut, which is just
Speaker 1: ironic and hilarious to me because that was the one
Speaker 1: thing he wasn't supposed to do right away, is run. Well,
Speaker 1: you can check that off the list. It looks like
Speaker 1: everything's fine there. Kyle Wright strikes out eight in that
Speaker 1: same game, he continues to be strong. Kyle Wright has
Speaker 1: been outstanding. I got an interesting question today from mister Bell,
Speaker 1: one of our listeners. He tweeted at me at a
Speaker 1: question he was trying to make a trade. He was
Speaker 1: talking about selling low on wit Maryfield but buying high
Speaker 1: on Kyle Wright. And what I told him was, if
Speaker 1: you're desperate for pitching, that's a move I can understand.
Speaker 1: If you could pull it off, it's great. Typically it's
Speaker 1: hard to sell low on a good player and then
Speaker 1: buy high on somebody who's pitching well right now. But
Speaker 1: if you can pull it off in the short term,
Speaker 1: I also recommended possibly flipping Kyle Wright again later in
Speaker 1: the year, because you would imagine the next couple starts
Speaker 1: are still good. We're gonna be good for a few months.
Speaker 1: I'm concerned when we start to look toward the latter
Speaker 1: part of the season, how the innings start to catch
Speaker 1: up to him a little bit, and what he looks
Speaker 1: like with wear and tear. What are your thoughts on
Speaker 1: for those people who have Kyle Wright, either trying to
Speaker 1: acquire him, thinking about him as an act, how do
Speaker 1: you think of him as an asset and just read
Speaker 1: draft leagues.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's solid and whatever he's doing this
Speaker 2: yere is, it's obviously working. I just I love the
Speaker 2: let's trade for him now, but then let's trade him later.
Speaker 2: It feels very much like that school project where you
Speaker 2: had where they give you a paper clip and they
Speaker 2: have to see what you end up with. And you know,
Speaker 2: there's always one kid that ends up with like a
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty Cadillac somewhere after starting out with the paper clip,
Speaker 2: And that's what you're trying to get to by doing
Speaker 2: this trade. But look, especially in a points league, that
Speaker 2: that's a solid trade. I understand, Like whit Manfield is
Speaker 2: very very frustrating right now. So if you think this
Speaker 2: is kind of him, you know, on the decline overall
Speaker 2: in his career, yeah, because Kyle Wright is definitely on
Speaker 2: the rise. So I understand it. Don't know if it's
Speaker 2: something I would do, because I am a whit Marrifield
Speaker 2: stand and I think he's gonna come around. But I
Speaker 2: understand the I understand the logic. It makes a lot
Speaker 2: of sense.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move on to some more head lines.
Speaker 1: Nolan Aernado two game suspension, he will appeal, Taylor Ward
Speaker 1: plates two in the Halo's victory over the Guardians. Now
Speaker 1: he also this this hit that he had was a
Speaker 1: little punch and judy kind of hit for Taylor Ward.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, man, this to me, I just
Speaker 1: don't think this is sustainable. I mean, he's getting every
Speaker 1: balance of the ball every which way, and it's just
Speaker 1: not gonna last. Rys so Iglesias got his fifth save
Speaker 1: Alec Manoa. As you mentioned before, the Haws spends seven
Speaker 1: shutout innings against the Red Sox and then Zach Wheeler
Speaker 1: shuts out the Rockies. So a Zach Wheeler sighting. He
Speaker 1: did walk a few guys in this start. But is
Speaker 1: this a good sign for Zach Wheeler or is this
Speaker 1: your opportunity to move on?
Speaker 3: Oh? No, no, no, I think this is him straightening it out.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm very happy because like right after, you know,
Speaker 2: justin Verlanders two first really good starts. Well, Shafstman, do
Speaker 2: you think you think you would trade Verlander for Wheeler
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 3: And I said, yeah, I think at the end of
Speaker 3: the year.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna want Wheeler and do just Verlanders just keeps
Speaker 2: stacking good starts on top of each other. So I
Speaker 2: was probably wrong about that, but I'm glad to see
Speaker 2: Wheelers starting to finally turn it around a little bit.
Speaker 3: Let's go and you could.
Speaker 1: Tell how much the Peanuts and the Crackerjacks really pay
Speaker 1: attention to our show because the red Bee is wondering
Speaker 1: if this is a new chair that I've got. No,
Speaker 1: it's not a new chair. It's my regular office chair
Speaker 1: that I sit in. But I had to change all
Speaker 1: my setup last night because of the NFL Draft show.
Speaker 1: So because I changed the setup, and because I knew
Speaker 1: I was gonna be sitting here for five hours, I
Speaker 1: decided that I would get the the comfy or chair
Speaker 1: as opposed to the one that probably looks better on camera.
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's all about comfort level, Bob. But
Speaker 1: you know that as we get older, that's what I
Speaker 1: don't care. Injury note, Luckily it's only one today. Vlad
Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior expected to play on Friday night. He's been
Speaker 1: doing with a foot issue, so that's good news. Also
Speaker 1: a nice moment, a little feel good moment. Wilson and
Speaker 1: William Contreras exchange the lineup cars before playing each other
Speaker 1: and beutiful moment there, brother.
Speaker 2: Way better felt way better than you know, fighting from
Speaker 2: the day before. You know what I mean with Aeronatto
Speaker 2: and the entire Mets team. So yes, much happier. Note
Speaker 2: today I like it, Yes, much happier.
Speaker 3: Note.
Speaker 1: Also, here's a fun little trivia fact out they we're
Speaker 1: gonna throw out there. The year was nineteen ninety four
Speaker 1: on this date, the twenty ninth of April Bogman, and
Speaker 1: I'm using this as an example about hot starts. Kirk
Speaker 1: Reader of Montreal became the first major league pitcher since
Speaker 1: Fernando Valenzuela in nineteen eighty one to start his career
Speaker 1: with a ten and oh record as the Expos beat
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates three two. Now, I remember Kirk Reader
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, and I remember him, I want to say,
Speaker 1: later pitching for the Giants Giants Research.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how I remember Kirk Reader too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But ten and oh, which is a reminder. And Fernando
Speaker 1: Valenzuela was obviously came up and just took major League
Speaker 1: Baseball over by storm. It's one of those those things
Speaker 1: where it's great when you see a note like that
Speaker 1: because it kind of sets you back and reminds you,
Speaker 1: oh right, It can't always be this good. And I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the guys who have gotten off to great stars.
Speaker 1: Alec Manoa is one of them. I think Alec Minoa
Speaker 1: is the exception to this rule. We talked about him
Speaker 1: a lot as we were getting into season preparation. Do
Speaker 1: you think he finishes the year as a top ten
Speaker 1: fantasy pitcher? And should he be somebody we pay attention
Speaker 1: to for American League? Cy Young with the way he's
Speaker 1: going right now, because he right now is someone no
Speaker 1: one's been talking about, and I think that tune's gonna
Speaker 1: change very shortly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he could definitely.
Speaker 2: I think he has the ability to finish in the
Speaker 2: top ten for sure. When I bet on it, probably not.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, one hundred and eleven innings last season,
Speaker 2: is that his absolute high? I think it is, so yeah,
Speaker 2: it is just looking at his other stats here, that's.
Speaker 3: His absolute hyeh.
Speaker 2: So I just don't know how if they're going to
Speaker 2: put him on an innings cap or anything like that.
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't have him as top ten, but I
Speaker 2: high he looks good right now, so and you know,
Speaker 2: hopefully trim down a little bit, so, but he looks great.
Speaker 1: Some great stuff here by the way, and the Peanuts
Speaker 1: and the cracker Jack Gallery. Because Mike Mayer said, best
Speaker 1: part of the NFL Draft show last night is when
Speaker 1: Joe describes what's happening on television, which I agree. Also
Speaker 1: Doctor Glenn chimes in and says, Joe reacts to TV shows.
Speaker 1: As a web series, I would watch It's funny. You
Speaker 1: should mention this because I was actually thinking about starting
Speaker 1: one where I just watch nineties videos and I comment
Speaker 1: about what's going on and the choices that have been made,
Speaker 1: kind of like Beavis and butt Head basically.
Speaker 2: Are you are you the Bob Saget replacement? Is that
Speaker 2: what's happening? Well, not like America's Funny America's Funniest tone videos.
Speaker 1: Not like that, not like that.
Speaker 2: More, just don't let that be weird sucking your head
Speaker 2: all day, the America's Funniest videos.
Speaker 1: That's a weird choices that were made in the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties. Because at the gym today they have like
Speaker 1: I think it's like that that whatever that channel is
Speaker 1: on in the morning for us old farts at the gym,
Speaker 1: or you know that people are retired or working in
Speaker 1: weird hours, like me and I gotta tell you some
Speaker 1: of the videos they get laid out there are absolutely
Speaker 1: hilarious and you're watching them as you're like walking around
Speaker 1: the gyin, going what the hell were they thinking about?
Speaker 1: I'm a video together?
Speaker 2: What do you think I'd like every break that I
Speaker 2: take from work is on Instagram to send you videos
Speaker 2: like every single one.
Speaker 1: Maybe if this is something you and I should do
Speaker 1: and I should curate this, I should curate this and
Speaker 1: you watch the videos perfect.
Speaker 3: I think this is it easily done.
Speaker 1: This is fantastic. All right, here we go. It's a
Speaker 1: new show. Thank you, Peanuts and Cracker Jacks.
Speaker 3: Awesome.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the next bid. Here
Speaker 1: we have two pieces of trivia. One is from MLB
Speaker 1: and the other is from Mike Mayor. Mike Mayer had
Speaker 1: one he throughout me this morning and I got it right.
Speaker 1: Even though he says I cheated, I did not. There
Speaker 1: are two players currently have a K percentage over forty
Speaker 1: percent major League Baseball. Both of them are in the
Speaker 1: American League, both are veterans. Can you name those two players?
Speaker 1: Scott Bogman or Peanuts and Rackerjacks. Got any hints right now?
Speaker 3: And for forty. This is for hitters or pitchers. I'm
Speaker 3: sorry hitters.
Speaker 1: Hitters k rate. Oh, joe Joey Gallo is he one
Speaker 1: of them? Joey Gallo is one of them and was
Speaker 1: the one. The guy's been around for a while. No,
Speaker 1: good guess. Good guess is not Miguelson. No, if you've
Speaker 1: got one of the peanuts and crack jacks you want
Speaker 1: to put out there, go for it.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: But while you're thinking about that, another one. Yadier Molina
Speaker 1: has sixteen seasons with at least one stolen base? Who
Speaker 1: holds the American League slash National League record among catchers
Speaker 1: for most seasons with at least one stolen base? The
Speaker 1: answer will shock and awe you. I can tell you
Speaker 1: that much. So catcher who has at least one steal
Speaker 1: every year for more than sixteen consecutive seasons. No, it's well, yes,
Speaker 1: but which Pudge?
Speaker 3: Ivon Rodriguez?
Speaker 1: Wrong Pudge, Wronggi Pudge? Who's the original Pudge? Carlton Fisk.
Speaker 3: Carlton Fisk.
Speaker 1: Of course he did catch for seven hundred forty two years,
Speaker 1: But that's true. Yeah, And the answer to the other
Speaker 1: guy at the top of the k rate list is
Speaker 1: Fran mil Reyes. So, Joey Gallo or fran mil Reyes,
Speaker 1: who would you rather have the rest.
Speaker 2: Of the season, Scott Bodman, Uh, fran Mel. I think
Speaker 2: Fraan Meil will turn that k right around. We know
Speaker 2: Joey Gallo won't, so it'll be very high. Probably won't
Speaker 2: be forty, but it'll be very very high. So I'll
Speaker 2: take fran Mell on that one.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move ahead here to the stat heroes
Speaker 1: we talked about. Alec Manoa nowhearned run, seven strong innings,
Speaker 1: seven k's, just one walk, absolutely domind Freddy Peralta looking
Speaker 1: like Freddie P, thank goodness. Six innings, no earned three hits,
Speaker 1: no walk, seven k's. This is why you don't panic
Speaker 1: in those early April starts, folks. Freddy P turning around,
Speaker 1: Maurteine Perez seven innings, one earned run.
Speaker 3: Two it was perfect through six. He was great yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's you know, even a broken clock is
Speaker 1: wrong twice a day, you know. Justin Ferlander, my Cy
Speaker 1: Young investment looking very good. Seven innings, one earned run,
Speaker 1: four hits, no walks, eight k's. We mentioned Wheelers bounce
Speaker 1: back and Kyle Wright good he did walk four guys,
Speaker 1: Kyle Wright with the eight k's, but he still won
Speaker 1: seven innings. So as long as he's going that distance,
Speaker 1: that shorter bridge to the wind very important. Jose Quintana.
Speaker 1: There's a name that hasn't made this show, and I
Speaker 1: don't know quite some time.
Speaker 3: When it's going, it's going. It's when it's going, it's gone.
Speaker 2: Whatever stars aligned, you know, for for your star chart
Speaker 2: there for those people it worked for pitching yesterday. So
Speaker 2: Jose Kintana on the sheet, Martin Perez on the sheet.
Speaker 2: Two of these things are not like the others, right, Joe, No, No,
Speaker 2: we expect to see Manoa Peralta Verlander, not so much
Speaker 2: Martin Perez, and certainly not Jose Kintana. Nine strike nine,
Speaker 2: nine strikecouts for Jose Cantanna, zero walks in five innings
Speaker 2: for the Pirates. You know, Jose Cantana, once upon a
Speaker 2: time was one of my favorite pitchers in fantasy. He
Speaker 2: was so consistent, and nobody wanted him because he was
Speaker 2: on bad White Sox teams.
Speaker 1: And then I remember we got traded to the Cubs,
Speaker 1: and I went, oh, this is great, going to a
Speaker 1: better team. Things can only go up. Nope, his career
Speaker 1: is never the same after that, and I don't understand
Speaker 1: why every bit of logic would suggest that things were
Speaker 1: on the upswing for him and his career basically fell apart.
Speaker 1: So I have no idea what's going on, any any
Speaker 1: reasons why you could think of why this went in
Speaker 1: the wrong direction when everything should have suggested the right
Speaker 1: way was coming.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just one of those things where you know,
Speaker 2: sometimes you zig when you should zag and it just
Speaker 2: doesn't work out or whatever. So, uh, you know, look,
Speaker 2: we can tell that jose Kintana is a solid picture
Speaker 2: because he's still in the bigs eating up innings, even
Speaker 2: though it's for the pirates whatever. But there's plenty of
Speaker 2: guys that wish they had jose Kintana's job. So he's
Speaker 2: got a little left in that arm, I guess, and
Speaker 2: this start proved it. So I don't think he'll do
Speaker 2: you over under on nine strikeout games for jose Kintana
Speaker 2: for the rest of this season.
Speaker 1: Under how we put it out a half and I'll
Speaker 1: take the under. I'll still take the under on that
Speaker 1: half on that one. The king of not learning to
Speaker 1: zig win you should zag, by the way, Rickon Stark
Speaker 1: still from game thron still.
Speaker 3: Not so much dirty?
Speaker 1: Come on, well, you know, I mean, come on, straight line,
Speaker 1: straight line? What are you thinking about? All right? Hitters? Yesterday?
Speaker 1: Andrew mcuchen, he was definitely a lineup builder in DFS today.
Speaker 1: I watched actually caught some McCutcheon at bats and some
Speaker 1: highlights after the draft last night when I was watching
Speaker 1: little MLB, just kind of flipping around, and McCutcheon looks
Speaker 1: really good at the plate, and I actually caught a
Speaker 1: couple of bats of his earlier in the week two.
Speaker 1: He's very locked in. So whatever's going on here with Kutch?
Speaker 1: You ride the wave and he's sitting clean up in
Speaker 1: that order to from Yeah, Pittsburgh, gotta love that, you
Speaker 1: know a little bit, a little bit, uh, you gotta
Speaker 1: love that. Austin Hayes four for five with an RBI
Speaker 1: iron judge at a home run for Ribby's yesterday made
Speaker 1: Machado still red hot four for five. I continue to
Speaker 1: say he's an interesting long shot for m v P. Dude.
Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking when I was watching him
Speaker 3: last night too.
Speaker 2: Was you know that when he had the four hits
Speaker 2: and one of them was like a sky fly ball
Speaker 2: that nobody could get under and the candidate has a hit.
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, when it's going, it is going for
Speaker 2: this guy. What are his MVP odds right now? I
Speaker 2: mean they shrinking everything I talked about it.
Speaker 1: I talked about it, I would say the first week
Speaker 1: of the season because I thought it was intriguing.
Speaker 2: He's one of those guys that's always kind of in
Speaker 2: the back of your mind of well, this guy could
Speaker 2: win MVP if he puts it all.
Speaker 1: The game is the path, right, because the path is
Speaker 1: always whenever you have a great player playing with you,
Speaker 1: it's tough. But because Tatis is out, if he carries
Speaker 1: them for these first three months, it's just brilliant. He
Speaker 1: on FANDLE plus twenty two hundred, same over on bed
Speaker 1: MG one. So yeah, I'm got twenty to one minimum
Speaker 1: basically for him and that Look, that's a hell of
Speaker 1: a wager right now. I mean you could put ten
Speaker 1: bucks on that and be very happy and then see
Speaker 1: if it shrinks a little bit and then double it.
Speaker 1: You know, do the old Bryce Harper waight of doing things,
Speaker 1: you know, like we did last year. This is how
Speaker 1: you play the futures. Market. You make an investment on
Speaker 1: a player with a small amount at a big number,
Speaker 1: and then as the number increases, you increase the number
Speaker 1: you invest. This is how you win money consistently and
Speaker 1: then if things are going well and then you sided.
Speaker 1: You can always cash out on certain sites too, where
Speaker 1: you can you know, take the money and run and
Speaker 1: just take plus money on which you had already. So
Speaker 1: a lot of sites they want you to cash out
Speaker 1: because they start to fear the fact that you had
Speaker 1: it in a really good number and they'd rather pay you,
Speaker 1: you know, seventy five dollars or two hundred, so if
Speaker 1: you think it's probably not gonna last at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, they.
Speaker 2: Should have done five. Brady last year. Shit done with
Speaker 2: Brady last year. Should cashed out early, had a shot
Speaker 2: and didn't do it.
Speaker 1: I had Brady. I did cash out early on that
Speaker 1: one because I still say if everyone had known this
Speaker 1: was his quote last season and then ended up not
Speaker 1: being his last season, he would have won. They would
Speaker 1: have been the Brady Parade. But that's what held it back.
Speaker 3: All.
Speaker 1: Let's continue on with some of these guys. Dansby Swanson,
Speaker 1: who was one of our holds from yesterday. Good thing
Speaker 1: he held him one home run yesterday to for three,
Speaker 1: Roman Quinn siding with two stolen bases. That makes my
Speaker 1: friend Tim mcloudfory happy. I know. Carlos Krea three for
Speaker 1: five with three RBI, Corey Seer also cheap on FanDuel tonight.
Speaker 1: We'll get to him later in the show. A home
Speaker 1: run two for four, and Paul Goschmitt getting hot after
Speaker 1: a slow start to the season three for four with
Speaker 1: three Ribby's. And look, everybody was really good from the
Speaker 1: pitching side. Mayor was saying it to me today, you
Speaker 1: were saying it to me. So no stat zeros on
Speaker 1: the pitchers. But of course the k parade continues. Salperez
Speaker 1: over five with the golden sombrero, Hunter Renfro over five
Speaker 1: with the hat trick, hitting two twelve with two dingers,
Speaker 1: three eighteen games. I would still buy yeah, over five, Yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead, and.
Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen very often. The Hunter Renfro, I'm
Speaker 2: still in on too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2: One hundred KNDA be still in on this guy. I
Speaker 2: mean a lot of guys are streaky and they're just
Speaker 2: starting the year cold. So it's gonna swing the other way,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna get white hot pretty soon. I think
Speaker 2: he's one of those guys all.
Speaker 1: The renfro baby Connor Joe over five two k's hitting
Speaker 1: one eighty four over the last ten days, So Connor Joe,
Speaker 1: what a difference a week makes? Randall gritchik four with
Speaker 1: the hat trick three k's say it's Suzuki o for
Speaker 1: four to two k's. I hope you listen because some
Speaker 1: parties over the last days. Yeah, I told everybody. I
Speaker 1: was like, look, I said, costca Fuku Dome all over again.
Speaker 1: Let's go why why isn't it Why isn't it costcame
Speaker 1: the way.
Speaker 3: You're right on.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite team names I ever had in
Speaker 1: a fantasy league was Beyond Fuki Dome, Okay, instead of
Speaker 1: Beyond Thunderdome. That was a good one.
Speaker 2: I can't I can't say, uh the name that I
Speaker 2: I love that I had, but it it has a
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame first basement, so it involves a Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame first basement.
Speaker 3: So I'll just say.
Speaker 2: That Hall of Fame first basement that is still currently playing.
Speaker 3: Don't, don't, don't, Let's just move on. Let's just move
Speaker 3: don't it's.
Speaker 1: A cracker jacks. If you've got to guess that one,
Speaker 1: go ahead, leave it in the chat. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the bottom five. In MLB, everybody's bitching and moaning in
Speaker 1: their roto leagues about patting the haverage. Gentle, My god,
Speaker 1: my badding average is so bad. What do I gotta
Speaker 1: do for my batting average? My best guy is hitting
Speaker 1: till fifty Miguel Sonol zero nine to six, Carlo Santana
Speaker 1: point one oh four with Maryfield Buck twenty seven. I
Speaker 1: don't care with Maryfield's a better hitter than that. This
Speaker 1: is just a weird thing, or he's hurt and he's
Speaker 1: not telling us. I don't know. Something's just weird with Wit.
Speaker 1: That's the only one that doesn't concern me. Joey Vado
Speaker 1: doesn't concern me either at one twenty four, because that's
Speaker 1: another dude that he's a professional hitter. I think it
Speaker 1: sucks he has less line of protection than he did
Speaker 1: last year, but I expect him to turn around. He
Speaker 1: can tell Marte Buck thirty five. So, Maryfield Vado, Marte Santana, Sino,
Speaker 1: are you buying? Are you selling? How do you feel
Speaker 1: about this pack of five?
Speaker 2: I would buy the last three Merrifield, Vado and Marte.
Speaker 2: Marte is pressing. Guy just got paid. He's trying to
Speaker 2: hit a homer every at bat. He's gonna come around
Speaker 2: once he calms down. I think Joey Vado Joey Voda
Speaker 2: is going through some weird midlife crisis, so I don't
Speaker 2: know what's going on to talk about buying a golden tooth.
Speaker 2: He's doing a bunch of TikTok dances. Guy's acting weird.
Speaker 2: So as soon as he starts acking normal and I
Speaker 2: think he'll get it straightened out and Wit Mayfield, We've
Speaker 2: already talked about ad nauseum here. I just I absolutely
Speaker 2: believe in him, so I think he'll be Okay.
Speaker 1: Did your team him have something to do with Linscombe
Speaker 1: and your pooh holes?
Speaker 3: Mmh okay.
Speaker 1: I just you know, those.
Speaker 2: Are two very entertaining players that you know what, they're
Speaker 2: very good and at one point they were at their
Speaker 2: peak together. So there you go, they were they were,
Speaker 2: and that's that's when it's at the best, right when
Speaker 2: you peek.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's what I think.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to all run board the night, King
Speaker 1: off top here eight Tingers continues to be at the top.
Speaker 1: JP is at seven. We've got a bunch of folks
Speaker 1: still at six. I'm still at one. I tried to
Speaker 1: break phanermal out. I tried to throw him a bone.
Speaker 1: It did not work. So I know what I love.
Speaker 2: I love the year at one and year here every day.
Speaker 2: And I am also at one, and I'm here once
Speaker 2: a week. I guess with the Welsh living on andy
Speaker 2: and burial ground, I'll probably be here two or three
Speaker 2: times a week coming up here. But uh, you know,
Speaker 2: I've been on the show five times, I think all year,
Speaker 2: and I'm the same with you.
Speaker 3: That makes me happy, Joe.
Speaker 1: Yes, I am a disgrace to myself and others. I'm
Speaker 1: aware of this.
Speaker 3: Hey what what we just talk about?
Speaker 2: Hey, sometimes you start the year cold, it comes in streaks, right,
Speaker 2: so you'll you'll be fine.
Speaker 1: I'm the wit Merryfield right now of home run calls,
Speaker 1: the way things are going. All right, let's switch gears
Speaker 1: and talk a little bit about obviously, wait, where's my hair?
Speaker 1: It is? We're gonna talk about prop bets, which means
Speaker 1: bet MGM The King Sports. Sign up today, download the
Speaker 1: bet MGM app, or just go to BETMGM dot com
Speaker 1: and do the promo code leading off, and when you do,
Speaker 1: you bet ten dollars. You can win two hundred with
Speaker 1: any bet on any game, regardless of the outcome. You
Speaker 1: just bet ten bucks, you win two hundred. See how
Speaker 1: stupid that sounds, isn't it? Go do it?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Come on, you could go bet on Manny Machado right
Speaker 1: now for mvot ten bucks got you on a game,
Speaker 1: but then take another ten bucks there and go do that.
Speaker 1: Please win your.
Speaker 2: Game and then go take that money bet on Manny.
Speaker 2: Let's go I hate Manny. Oh.
Speaker 1: Let's let's play a game too about Alec Manoa. Since
Speaker 1: we're talking about bets right now, let's see what his
Speaker 1: cy Young odds?
Speaker 3: Is it cholesterol versus strikeout percentage?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I could say that you want
Speaker 1: to take a crack. What do you think the number
Speaker 1: is for Alec Manoa Cy Young? I don't know, fifty
Speaker 1: A guess no American League stakes. So it's it's it's
Speaker 1: not underty one, but it's still excellent. Twelve to one,
Speaker 1: thirty twelve to one.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: And by the way, you know what Justin Ferlander is
Speaker 1: right now? Eight to one, seven O seven to one,
Speaker 1: and Joey p got it locked in at twenty five.
Speaker 1: Let's go, and you know what, I might throw one
Speaker 1: hundred bucks on this seven to one today just because
Speaker 1: I'm feeling saucy, all right, until this Taylor Award train
Speaker 1: breaks out at the station. Let's ride it here. At
Speaker 1: the prop bets of the day, I like the over
Speaker 1: on DK for him point five on the total bases,
Speaker 1: trade turners at one and a half on total bases.
Speaker 1: But against the Tigers, I like this, and you're getting
Speaker 1: good juice on there too, minus one ten, even though
Speaker 1: it's a higher number. I would take the one and
Speaker 1: a half here with the minus one ten. Austin Slater
Speaker 1: hit at the top of the order for the Giants
Speaker 1: as long as he's in that lineup against Washington today,
Speaker 1: he's at point five on DK, He's at plus one
Speaker 1: forty five if he hits that number, that point five
Speaker 1: on the total on the hits, so just needs one
Speaker 1: hit at plus one forty five, that's a pretty good wager.
Speaker 1: You throw ten bucks twenty bucks on that. That's a
Speaker 1: fun night. CJ crone total bases at one and a
Speaker 1: half on DK, also minus one on five, that's a
Speaker 1: pretty good number. Let's talk about the starting pitching slate today.
Speaker 1: On DK, you got Lucas Gilito at nine and a half,
Speaker 1: like him good investment. Everyone's gonna be on Neser Cortez
Speaker 1: because he's a Yankee, so just pay attention. Have some
Speaker 1: differential there, Ty, that's right, Tylwia McGill is at nine
Speaker 1: point eight, tougher matchup against the Phillies, but still startable.
Speaker 1: Adam Wayne r in a good matchup at No. Nine
Speaker 1: point four. People will fade away from Hunter Green because
Speaker 1: it's in Colorado. However, at six and a half is
Speaker 1: the secondary arm. You can get whatever you want. So
Speaker 1: if you have Hunter Green and Giolito tonight, or Hunter
Speaker 1: Green and Nesser Cortes, you can basically do anything you want.
Speaker 1: Frankie Montoss is somewhere in the middle to so Montas
Speaker 1: at eight point one on DK with Giolito is my
Speaker 1: favorite pairing of the night on DK. On FanDuel, different slate,
Speaker 1: you got some other games in there because everyone, I mean,
Speaker 1: these two sites, they can't keep anything straight. It's like
Speaker 1: you want to play the turbo where you can play
Speaker 1: four games, and this you can play five games. It
Speaker 1: starts six thirty seven, and this game starts six to
Speaker 1: thirty five. Chargs me nuts, it used to be so simple,
Speaker 1: so old and cranky, you darbish, is a ten point five.
Speaker 1: Pretty good investment there, But I prefer Giolito at nine
Speaker 1: point three. He's the most cost effective. If you want
Speaker 1: to go cheaper than that, Adam Wainwright in terms of
Speaker 1: tournament arms is the way to go. But that Giolito
Speaker 1: strikeout return nine point three. Nesser Cortez is ten, save
Speaker 1: seven hundred bucks. Put it somewhere else, same thing. He's
Speaker 1: cheaper than you, darbish, So I'd go right back there.
Speaker 1: Stacks to Night, Boston, Atlanta, the Dodgers. Those are my
Speaker 1: three favorite. Here's your lineup builders for DK, Tyler nake
Speaker 1: went at two point nine, Michael Franco two six, McCutcheon
Speaker 1: three point eight, Danceby Swanson two point eight, two point
Speaker 1: eight for Dansby Swanson on DK, let's go for Dugo's
Speaker 1: three seven, Kepler's three four, and Chess mccormicker.
Speaker 3: Kepler's starting to come around. I like that one.
Speaker 1: He is. And then there's Chas McCormick, who sounds like
Speaker 1: every eighties character from the Bad High School Movie? Right,
Speaker 1: isn't Chas McCormick, Like, he's gotta be the.
Speaker 2: See the guy with the flat top that gives all
Speaker 2: the kids swirlies?
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, say from everybody. My name is Chess. I'm
Speaker 3: the quarterback, all right, and I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Give you slick. My collar so hard I knocked on
Speaker 1: my earpiece. WHOA, that's in tense.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, and then he wrenched his back trying to
Speaker 2: get it. Grandpa, are you okay?
Speaker 1: I'm all right. We'll make it back here for the
Speaker 1: end of the show. Luckily we only have a couple
Speaker 1: of segments left. Fan duel check this out. Nelson cruises
Speaker 1: two point three? What Jonathan Scope two point three? Everybody?
Speaker 1: Andel last night was at the draft in Vegas and
Speaker 1: got hammered and set the prices.
Speaker 2: Just gives you some good prices today, guys, come on.
Speaker 1: You know what, let's give them. It's interesting that you
Speaker 1: got this out there because FanDuel has done this before
Speaker 1: during the NFL Draft where people are all betting on
Speaker 1: draft and they want to get them to do action
Speaker 1: on other things so they'll make their pricing super friendly.
Speaker 1: On Fandel, I've seen them do it and they're doing
Speaker 1: it tonight. Cruise a two point three point three together.
Speaker 1: That's right exactly. Oh, it's you can have whatever you want.
Speaker 1: Justin Turner two seven, went Maryfield two four, McCutcheon two four,
Speaker 1: Seeger two seven at Chazz McCormick two point five, Chess McCormick,
Speaker 1: stay away from my girl, if you know what's good
Speaker 1: for your pal.
Speaker 2: I feel I feel like, uh, I feel like Chas
Speaker 2: McCormick's gonna come up snapping.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He's more like, yeah, yeah, well when when you do it.
Speaker 2: I feel like he's more of a musical character. Maybe
Speaker 2: maybe I do have a certain element of whimsy. I
Speaker 2: feel like he's the guy if he couldn't get Williams,
Speaker 2: you got Chess McCormick. So many times we'll just be
Speaker 2: talking on the phone, You'll bring You'll just start singing,
Speaker 2: and I'll be like, what are you doing, Joe? A
Speaker 2: song about sacking your lineup? What's your problem? It's like
Speaker 2: high school musical in here.
Speaker 1: God, nothing but high school musical all day, all right,
Speaker 1: home run calls. I've only got two days left to
Speaker 1: get another home run before April shuts the door. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go and buck the trend with Ronald Acunya.
Speaker 1: That's right, Coonye today all weekend, if you could still
Speaker 1: basically get hit home runs, that's that's it. That's the logic.
Speaker 1: I have no other logic except that. So I want
Speaker 1: Ronald Acunya this weekend. Hopefully he hits a couple home
Speaker 1: runs for me, and hopefully I am less of an
Speaker 1: embarrassment and a little higher on the board when we
Speaker 1: come back here. By the way, today is a milestone.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but today is
Speaker 1: our five hundredth episode, So look at that.
Speaker 3: At that, So.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to all of us here working on the show,
Speaker 1: to all of our many many hosts of the show
Speaker 1: past and present, and also a special thank you to

Speaker 2: don't know any of these.
Speaker 1: But I also believe we are going to start with
Speaker 1: our fabulous prizes soon too for these home run calls.
Speaker 1: So I'm going with a Kunya. Who are you going
Speaker 1: with today? Who are you calling your shot with? Box?
Speaker 3: Give me Goldie?
Speaker 2: Uh. You know, I didn't have a lot of time
Speaker 2: because the drafts to do my pvbs today. But Goldie
Speaker 2: is twenty four uh for seventy one. It's just a
Speaker 2: three thirty eight career batting average against Bannison Bumgarner with
Speaker 2: three bombs, and I would love to see I get
Speaker 2: happy when I see Goldie stick it to the d
Speaker 2: Backs because I never wanted to trade him. Obviously, those
Speaker 2: of you follow me and see my Carls Junior Shenanigans
Speaker 2: know that. So let's go, Goldie get a bomb. That
Speaker 2: was a tough year.
Speaker 1: I look the red Bee chimes in here minus Welsh's
Speaker 1: bucks and crap. I love this show. I agree, And
Speaker 1: you spelled Welsh wrong by the way.
Speaker 3: Welsh's grave.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so that's like doubly insulting. I feel like,
Speaker 1: who'd like mayortake today for his homwerk. He was like
Speaker 1: sal Perez after his many, many back after the Golden
Speaker 1: some brade come back. He hit a bomb. I like
Speaker 1: that call. Yeah, that's fine. I tried to do that yesterday. Wow,
Speaker 1: well on sour because I tried to do that with
Speaker 1: franmil yesterday.
Speaker 2: It sounds like your sour because he got one bomb, right,
Speaker 2: I mean I think I got one bomb.
Speaker 1: The Patriots drafted somebody last night that they could have
Speaker 1: had one hundred picks later. There's a lot of questions.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of a lot of things that
Speaker 1: I need to go contemplate after the show, but five
Speaker 1: hundred is a milestone. It's a very exciting thing. So
Speaker 1: once again, I just want to sincerely thank everybody. H
Speaker 1: This is the most fun little community of baseball, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to keep growing here. And I think we're
Speaker 1: showing everybody that there is a market for this show.
Speaker 1: There is a market for baseball, and you could do baseball,
Speaker 1: be smart, have conversations about baseball, and also actually entertain
Speaker 1: people at the same time. That is our goal here.
Speaker 1: So when rond Acunya hit six home runs, I'll come
Speaker 1: back Monday in a much better mood. Until then, that'll
Speaker 1: do it for us. But the story of the game
Speaker 1: goes on for Scott Bogman. I'm Joey P. Great weekend, everybody,
Speaker 1: see ya
