Speaker 1: Leading off is going down right now.
Speaker 2: I am the Welsh Chris Welsh on Twitter at is
Speaker 2: at the Welsh and folks it's a wonky Wednesday, that's right.
Speaker 2: Kelly Kirby's in the house on Twitter at the Wonky Penguin.
Speaker 1: Kelly, what is going on?
Speaker 2: I am excited for the Wonky the special Wonky home
Speaker 2: run call.
Speaker 1: Of the day, because it's quite a doozy you got
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 3: I know this one seems really interesting to me, but
Speaker 3: I'll just give you a hint that I thought Arizona
Speaker 3: was in last place, so I got a lot more
Speaker 3: excited that.
Speaker 4: I just always forget about Tolrado.
Speaker 1: So well, you're gonna play Philly. They're not going to
Speaker 1: be in last place in any.
Speaker 4: DIVISSI It's true.
Speaker 1: You need to get to do that. We are going
Speaker 1: to talk about a said prospect on the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about another top prospect. We're going to
Speaker 2: talk about the fears we have of the injuries of
Speaker 2: losing a top player, but it's looking like it's not
Speaker 2: going to quite be and we're gonna go through the
Speaker 2: home run contest on a wonky Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Probably the best day of the week, I would.
Speaker 2: Say, when we get the wonky Wednesday and we get
Speaker 2: special calls, Kelly, I think you'd agree, right.
Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely, Monkey Wednesday's the best.
Speaker 2: I like this wonky on the Welsh Wonky in the
Speaker 2: well has a good ring to it, and that's pretty
Speaker 2: good it does.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I would also point out, just like Bob said,
Speaker 2: he hit the thumbs up on the way and did
Speaker 2: you make sure you guys like the videos on the
Speaker 2: live streams and make sure that you guys subscribe so
Speaker 2: you get notified anytime we go live, because you never know.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the plans are, but what if
Speaker 2: there's stuff in the off season, what if there's Dynasty content?
Speaker 2: What if you just forget where you are all of
Speaker 2: a sudden and then it's March and the show comes
Speaker 2: back and you're not notified.
Speaker 1: Just make sure you're notified.
Speaker 2: Subscribe to the YouTube channel for leading off on the
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pro MLB channel, and you'll be all set and
Speaker 2: then you have absolutely no worries in the world. And
Speaker 2: that's all that we're asking for. The fear that we
Speaker 2: had that was clankering around for every fan see Baseball Owner,
Speaker 2: just Fantasy Baseball or baseball fan was Shane McClanahan being
Speaker 2: scratched from his start last night, stating that he couldn't
Speaker 2: get his left arm to quote get loose. One of
Speaker 2: the scariest parts of this is they had just a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of cameras. I was watching him tonight, I
Speaker 2: think what was going on, and they cut to it
Speaker 2: and they showed him throwing, and then they showed him
Speaker 2: talking to one of the pitching coaches.
Speaker 1: And like as like a dad.
Speaker 2: It was like a dad moment where he just kind
Speaker 2: of topples over into the pitching coach's arms and kind
Speaker 2: of tears.
Speaker 1: Up, and you see that and you go, oh no,
Speaker 1: oh no.
Speaker 2: We all were like, no, we can't do not Tommy
Speaker 2: John and take this.
Speaker 1: Away from us.
Speaker 2: But Kelly, we got some good news, as McClanahan after
Speaker 2: the game said that we don't think it's anything major, hopefully,
Speaker 2: and I think we're going to be all right.
Speaker 1: So possible crisis averted.
Speaker 3: Possibly, But I do remember going through this with Tyler
Speaker 3: Glassnow a little bit as well, where it's like it's
Speaker 3: no big deal, it's fine, and then off we went.
Speaker 3: So what is it about Tampa? What is it about
Speaker 3: Tampa where they have just amazing pictures and then they
Speaker 3: have issues, so like it's kind of a very weird
Speaker 3: Shane Bass.
Speaker 4: I mean it's like here we are.
Speaker 2: It obviously is built into something, you know, getting like
Speaker 2: it almost like to have like a sheet down of
Speaker 2: like the intricacies of how teams.
Speaker 1: Work, like the Diamondbacks.
Speaker 2: They've changed this now, but the Diamondbacks had a pretty
Speaker 2: well known like they didn't want cutters thrown. I think
Speaker 2: it was I think it was cutters or and I
Speaker 2: think it was just in lieu of sliders and they
Speaker 2: weren't letting their pitchers do that. And you kind of
Speaker 2: get like similar things in development, and there's a certain
Speaker 2: point almost like something you.
Speaker 1: Can look at again.
Speaker 2: I'm making about the Diamonbacks because I know them very well,
Speaker 2: where it's like, why are these prospects always having these
Speaker 2: shoulder issues? Is there something to the players or how
Speaker 2: the regimen is going? Same thing with Tampa Bay, because
Speaker 2: it's a really good point. What's with the arm issues?
Speaker 2: I mean, remember Brent Honeywell. Brent Honeywell's out there, Shane
Speaker 2: Boss is dealing with it. McClanahan. Is it something in
Speaker 2: how they are teaching or maybe not teaching these guys
Speaker 2: to do. I don't know what it is, but I
Speaker 2: am just like crossing my fingers because I think McClanahan is,
Speaker 2: if not at the top of the Dynasty number one
Speaker 2: overall pitchers, and I think for next year, if we're
Speaker 2: looking at early ranks, he's got to be at least
Speaker 2: in the top three. When you agree, yeah, Brendan McKay,
Speaker 2: that's another one good one go cards.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean I would say for me and Dynasty, he
Speaker 3: was number one mister buster, and I've been talking about that,
Speaker 3: but it's like, this is the guy you want and
Speaker 3: he would be the ultimate. This is why we can't
Speaker 3: have nice things example, if he actually goes down, because
Speaker 3: I mean, he's just been beautiful. I like, I arrange
Speaker 3: my schedule to watch him pitch just because he's great.
Speaker 2: And it's one of those things with bets too. It's
Speaker 2: just like get out there. I completely agree. And how
Speaker 2: many pitchers are there out there that are like that?
Speaker 1: Right now?
Speaker 2: For me, I think it is a contra it's McClanahan
Speaker 2: and de Gram those are the only three that are
Speaker 2: like appointment. I don't want to take anything away from
Speaker 2: Verlander or Corbyn Burns or anything like that. But if
Speaker 2: you know me personally, when it's appointment time, it's those
Speaker 2: three and it's only those three in baseball, and that
Speaker 2: says something.
Speaker 3: M Yeah, absolutely, I mean I might throw show Ay
Speaker 3: in there occasionally, just I mean, he's not musty for me.
Speaker 4: But but yeah, I tuned in.
Speaker 3: I mean I tuned into the grom starts even being
Speaker 3: at Grump. I'm like, I have got that. I mean
Speaker 3: I've showed him to like friends who happened to be
Speaker 3: over him, Like just a second, you have to watch
Speaker 3: this like the best picture, and he's like, OK, and
Speaker 3: everybody's like, can we not talk about that?
Speaker 2: I am about to tell you, Kelly, I want to
Speaker 2: hear something nice about to Groam because I didn't think
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to move past it.
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that you did. You did very absolutely.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's amazing to watch out there, right, I
Speaker 3: just don't want him in fantasy.
Speaker 1: Yep, Okay, I still want him. But yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Orioles have selected.
Speaker 2: The contract of top prospect. Arguably in the conversation. If
Speaker 2: you go over to like the more traditionalist of prospect evaluators,
Speaker 2: Francisco Alvarez might be there because he's a catcher. Some
Speaker 2: outlets have Gunnar Henderson and some have Corman Carroll, so
Speaker 2: he's in that argument. Uh, Gunner Henderson has been called
Speaker 2: up by the Orioles one day before. He would not
Speaker 2: be eligible to make the playoffs. So rosters are going
Speaker 2: to expand to twenty eight tomorrow and he is getting
Speaker 2: the call up and he will now be eligible. The
Speaker 2: twenty one year old hitting almost three hundred in the miners,
Speaker 2: nineteen homers, twenty two stolen bases between double A and
Speaker 2: triple A. He was playing a little bit of second
Speaker 2: base to play shortstop. I think a lot of evaluators
Speaker 2: have kind of assumed he was going to be a
Speaker 2: future third baseman as well. There's just a lot of
Speaker 2: flexibility that's given. And we've kind of completed the the
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a triad because who is
Speaker 2: the so maybe it's just the duo of Corby Carroll
Speaker 2: and Gunner Henderson. Francisco Walvarez I think completes the triad
Speaker 2: of guys. But he's hurt and may miss the rest
Speaker 2: of the season, so we are going to get Gunner
Speaker 2: Henderson for the rest of this year, and I hope
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, Kelly, I hope it takes
Speaker 2: the same trajectory as Corbyn Carroll in that the team says,
Speaker 2: we don't have him here just to have fun. He
Speaker 2: is here to play every single day. That's the hope
Speaker 2: we're going to see with Gunner Henderson.
Speaker 1: I would hope.
Speaker 3: So, I mean, I think he is ready and they
Speaker 3: could use the help. I mean again, every time I
Speaker 3: look at the standings and there are three games out
Speaker 3: of the wildcard and I'm just like, how are they
Speaker 3: still hanging around?
Speaker 4: And maybe he could be just the infusion of energy.
Speaker 3: And again that the positional flexibility because I saw the
Speaker 3: second base and a lot of third base, and if
Speaker 3: he retains all of that for next year, then he's
Speaker 3: you know, that's gonna be an important part as well.
Speaker 2: And it'll be like the legend, the legend of Gunner Henderson.
Speaker 2: If he can come in and he can bring any
Speaker 2: war to this team and bring any extra wins and
Speaker 2: get them to the playoffs, he's gonna.
Speaker 1: Live an infamy. I mean, it is gonna be a
Speaker 1: huge thing.
Speaker 2: So here's my question, then, who would you rather have
Speaker 2: rest of season Gunner Henderson or Corving Carroll.
Speaker 1: You got take care of Carroll? Oh yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: Should we talk about Corbick Carroll here because I've got
Speaker 2: some stuff here in just a tiny bit if you're ready.
Speaker 3: Is there anything I could say that would deter you
Speaker 3: from that? Nope, not a single can't talk and I
Speaker 3: think we should do that.
Speaker 2: You can't talk about any of that stuff because that's
Speaker 2: a baller and I've got some stuff here here in
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 1: But I would say, just like the Corba Carroll stuff,
Speaker 1: go pick up gun Henderson. There's no reason plenty of leagues, I.
Speaker 2: Know plenty of you are gonna be like it's a
Speaker 2: emerginal league without who Gunnerson's available? Like okay, well they
Speaker 2: don't pick him up because he's not available, But if
Speaker 2: he is, go and pick him up because it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a great asset for the final few months. He's
Speaker 2: got power, He's got a great swing, hitting around three
Speaker 2: hundred across two levels.
Speaker 1: Also can be a source of stolen bases, which.
Speaker 2: That team is almost becoming like the couple of years
Speaker 2: ago Royals, where it's just like every guy in that
Speaker 2: lineup has an opportunity to steal some bases and Gunner
Speaker 2: would be one of those guys.
Speaker 1: Also, no big deal.
Speaker 2: But Aaron Judge when three for five hit a three
Speaker 2: run bomb his fifty first of the year, I guess
Speaker 2: there's still one more day that's in there. But we
Speaker 2: were doing the whole like fifty homers before September type
Speaker 2: of thing, and he just moved up that list and
Speaker 2: I did see and we're not gonna do it. But
Speaker 2: just a lot of extended chatter online after the fifty
Speaker 2: first homer between the whole like real homer thing, Roger.
Speaker 1: Marris and you know, the award.
Speaker 2: It seems like it's gonna be a lot of controversy
Speaker 2: around this Judge thing, but maybe not the controversy that
Speaker 2: we're used to in that Like, I think you will
Speaker 2: have the defense of Shoo Tani, which I still think
Speaker 2: of this day as great as judges or Tanis MVP.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have that, and then you're also going to
Speaker 2: have the real home run record if he passes Merris,
Speaker 2: and that argument is really going to actually be pretty
Speaker 2: intolerable in my eyes. I don't know about you, Kelly,
Speaker 2: I don't know how you feel about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's you know, my thing
Speaker 3: with the steroid era is it was an era. They
Speaker 3: didn't police it. They I think they wanted it after
Speaker 3: the strike. And I am really firmly in the it's
Speaker 3: been twenty years, let's get over it.
Speaker 4: Mindset on that.
Speaker 3: And that is the one thing about the Judge home
Speaker 3: run chase, because I would love for him to catch
Speaker 3: it break the American League record, but I don't want to.
Speaker 3: I just don't want the think pieces that will come
Speaker 3: out of that.
Speaker 1: All day every day we saw John Hyman.
Speaker 2: John Hayman was like, you know, once he passes Marius,
Speaker 2: this will be the record because of all those steroids.
Speaker 2: And it was just like, come on, man, like even Judge,
Speaker 2: even baseball players, I think we should like take some
Speaker 2: cues from actual baseball players. And how many baseball players
Speaker 2: have you ever heard disavow the steroid era is not
Speaker 2: counting for the most part, unless maybe they're like, you know,
Speaker 2: retired and they're on a talk show or something like that.
Speaker 2: But guys in game, it's like, no, this is the guy.
Speaker 2: And Judge even acknowledged it. So by the way, JP says,
Speaker 2: drop mayorfield for Gunner yep.
Speaker 1: Yes, just like the quarter day, every day, all day,
Speaker 1: every day. Some injuries.
Speaker 2: Ronald Cooney remained out for the third straight game Tuesday
Speaker 2: with lingering soreness.
Speaker 1: In the right knee. I do not like that at all.
Speaker 2: Wilson Gatrois left Tuesday's game with left ankle foot soreness.
Speaker 2: I believe it was running to first base and he
Speaker 2: just kind of gave up, and we'll see where that goes.
Speaker 2: Joran Alvarez Jordan Alvarez remains out of the lineup due
Speaker 2: to it lingered discomfort in both hands.
Speaker 1: We talked about that.
Speaker 2: There's nothing to like do about that, but the wrist
Speaker 2: and hands stuff really has a worry for kind of
Speaker 2: zapped power moving forward. The best thing I think you
Speaker 2: could possibly do is if you have any viable bench options.
Speaker 2: I don't know, like maybe even just obviously, like if
Speaker 2: you're not playing, you're gonna put someone else in there.
Speaker 2: But I just don't know how impactful Dordon's gonna be
Speaker 2: on the rest of this year.
Speaker 3: Kelly, Yeah, I don't either, and I you know, he's
Speaker 3: kind of in that dreaded the DD situation, and with
Speaker 3: Houston as far ahead as there, they don't have to
Speaker 3: really do anything with him. So in fantasyland, it's like
Speaker 3: you can't drop him, because it's like you can drop him,
Speaker 3: someone will pick him up and he'll go on a tear.
Speaker 3: But yeah, he's going to take up a bench that
Speaker 3: for a while. So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It'd be nice if he can, like you know, get
Speaker 2: a gun or Henderson maybe and have that replacement. Dylan
Speaker 2: Marris placed on the tinda I l with an oblique issue,
Speaker 2: and Kate Cavali after he just came up, was placed
Speaker 2: on the fifteen day with right shoulder inflammation.
Speaker 1: That should end his season.
Speaker 2: That should be done. Maybe he'll be in the arson
Speaker 2: A Fall League. But I cannot imagine we're going to
Speaker 2: see any more of him. So here are my fun
Speaker 2: facts last night. Maybe heard of this guy, maybe I've
Speaker 2: talked about him before. Corbyn Carroll, you've heard of him, right,
Speaker 2: we've mentioned him just a little bit, ye, just a
Speaker 2: little bit. And one prospect in baseball from my team,
Speaker 2: Corbyn Carroll hit a ball last night with an IVY
Speaker 2: of just around one hundred and five a twenty six
Speaker 2: degree launch angle. Would they project a distance of four
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty nine feet and according to what a
Speaker 2: great account would it, Dong, this would have been a
Speaker 2: home run in twenty nine of thirty MLB parks. Only
Speaker 2: Chase Field is the place that could have held this,
Speaker 2: and I think they might have. I might have even
Speaker 2: read that this was like a record ball in the
Speaker 2: statcast era of the furthest ball not becoming a home run,
Speaker 2: four hundred and thirty nine feet not becoming a home run,
Speaker 2: and twenty nine of thirty parks, Corbyn Carroll's bomb would
Speaker 2: have been a home run, except, of course, in his
Speaker 2: home ball park.
Speaker 4: Kelly, Yeah, that's usually how that goes, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, that would have left Yankee Stadium and maybe
Speaker 3: hit Shay, But in Arizona it's nothing, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: Also, Corvin Caroll's five RBIs this is according to slang
Speaker 2: on Sports for Sarah Lanks, Corvin Kells's five rbies in
Speaker 2: his first two games are the most by any diamondback
Speaker 2: player in the first two career games. He's also registered
Speaker 2: it's amazing five separate thirty plus feet per second sprint
Speaker 2: speeds on the base paths, which is elite of elite,
Speaker 2: And I was I talked about this in a couple
Speaker 2: places in that first at bat he had where he
Speaker 2: kind of hit into the ground and it popped up.
Speaker 2: I don't recall seeing someone as fast as him go
Speaker 2: to the line. He almost beat out another one of
Speaker 2: those and was within I mean, we were talking that
Speaker 2: much of beating out another one of those five instances
Speaker 2: of elite sprint speed. He's already shown. He has shown
Speaker 2: a four hundred and forty foot bomb and he's shown
Speaker 2: elite sprint speeds. There's some stuff to be excited about
Speaker 2: with Corbyn.
Speaker 1: Carrol Kelly.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent the amount that he can with
Speaker 3: the power in the speed cambo. If he is anywhere,
Speaker 3: redirect League whatever, pick him up. Yeah, he shouldn't be
Speaker 3: sitting anywhere.
Speaker 2: And I think he already moved up the lineup. You
Speaker 2: gotta forgive me him. I think he moved to six.
Speaker 2: He was eight in his first game. He was to six,
Speaker 2: and I think he's just going to continue moving up.
Speaker 2: He just gets on baits, he makes things happen. There's power, speed,
Speaker 2: something to get excited about. Another thing that I thought
Speaker 2: was interesting was he was talking about his favorite players.
Speaker 2: He is a Washington native and he was talking about
Speaker 2: his favorite player, which was each chi Ro. He said,
Speaker 2: each Row is his favorite player of all time. And
Speaker 2: then the broadcast of getting to know him, he said
Speaker 2: something that gave me a pause, and he said, he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: I like Ken Griffy Junior too. He's a little before
Speaker 2: my time. And I was like, oh yeah, we're at
Speaker 2: that point. Oh yeah, And it comes to a good
Speaker 2: interesting thing of this day in baseball.
Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety the.
Speaker 2: Ken Griffies, Griffy Junior was in centerfield and Ken was
Speaker 2: Senior was in left field, becoming the first father and
Speaker 2: son combination of Major League history to play his teammates,
Speaker 2: and they each went one for four in Seattle's five
Speaker 2: to two win over the Royals. The Manners had signed
Speaker 2: the elder Griffy after he was waived by the Reds.
Speaker 2: But Corbyn Carroll doesn't know anything about that.
Speaker 1: He hasn't anything about that. Now.
Speaker 3: Did you ever watch like the old like nineteen sixties
Speaker 3: home run Derby on ESPN, like the reruns.
Speaker 2: In black and many Definitely when I was younger, and
Speaker 2: like that was the only thing to go.
Speaker 1: You would just like leave it on.
Speaker 2: ESPN and you get the old football turn turn and
Speaker 2: then you get the old baseball stuff, but I don't recall.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, so I would do that watch like Mantlin
Speaker 3: Marris and I'm just thinking that for Carol that was
Speaker 3: Griffy so oh.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2: Uh here's a trivia question for you, and I left
Speaker 2: it off the table, so Kelly can try to answer this.
Speaker 2: All this talk of Roger Merrison the home run record.
Speaker 2: Which team gave up the most home runs to Roger
Speaker 2: Marris when he hit sixty one homers in nineteen sixty one,
Speaker 2: and which one allowed the fewest, So the most and
Speaker 2: the fewest of any team in his sixty one homer
Speaker 2: can even possibly take a guess.
Speaker 1: I will give you the numbers.
Speaker 2: By the way, the most was thirteen homers, the least
Speaker 2: was three, so just think about that, by the way,
Speaker 2: and the production he put up. The least he hit
Speaker 2: against a team was three, which is an incredible number,
Speaker 2: and the most was thirteen.
Speaker 1: And he guesses it's kind of a tough one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I want to say, I mean, Boston just hopped into
Speaker 3: my head in terms of the least, but I don't.
Speaker 3: It's good.
Speaker 1: I will give you a little hint it wasn't at
Speaker 1: least was in the division. Okay, hmmmmm, you're incorrect. I
Speaker 1: have correct, no idea incorrect this. Oh wait a minute,
Speaker 1: hold on, mmm, so this is one of these? Is correct?
Speaker 1: In go cards? Oh wait?
Speaker 2: And if you're saying Red Sox, well I just ruined it.
Speaker 2: The most was by the White Sox because you wrote socks,
Speaker 2: but you probably meant Red Sox. The most was by
Speaker 2: the White Sox, the least right there by the Baltimore
Speaker 2: Baltimore was the least with three thirteen.
Speaker 1: Homers with the Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 2: All this Roger Marris stuff is out there and ruminating
Speaker 2: in our brains, and there you go.
Speaker 1: Now you know who the most? Right now?
Speaker 2: You know it should have been attached to that trivia question,
Speaker 2: where's judges? What does judges look like at this point?
Speaker 2: Who are the most and who are the least?
Speaker 1: Against? You know, any team I at least.
Speaker 2: Would probably look like zero with inner league play and everything.
Speaker 2: But I'd like to know who the most is and
Speaker 2: tell me. Fun Over on the stat heroes, Nick Prato
Speaker 2: two homers, going four for five with three RBI and
Speaker 2: three runs.
Speaker 1: He needed a game like this.
Speaker 2: Gavin Sheets went two for five with two homers and
Speaker 2: four rbi. So a couple double dongs. In that Kansas
Speaker 2: City White Sox game, Randy Rose Arena three for five
Speaker 2: with the homer in two stolen bases, Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Sean Murphy had a homer, going three for five with
Speaker 2: five rbi. Boy, he has just been such a little
Speaker 2: whirlwind moving up as far as catchers go.
Speaker 1: He's one of.
Speaker 2: The lynchpins of my tout team in the two catcher league. Really,
Speaker 2: the only place that I considered rostering him was in
Speaker 2: two catcher and it's panned out.
Speaker 1: But Sean Murphy's been so.
Speaker 2: Good and probably has to push himself into the twelve
Speaker 2: conversation of catchers next year. I feel like there's good
Speaker 2: depth a catcher next year, even though the elitess maybe
Speaker 2: is lacking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, prior to the season I have made, you know,
Speaker 3: wonkey predictions that were just kind of outrageous. But one
Speaker 3: of my serious ones was Sean Murphy would end up
Speaker 3: as I think a top ten catcher. Just there was
Speaker 3: nobody there, right, I mean, it's Oakland, So he was
Speaker 3: going to beat third and he was gonna bet every day.
Speaker 3: And he seems to be panning out in that direction
Speaker 3: so far, so I really like that about him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you nailed that one.
Speaker 2: Jake McCarthy continues to be such a great pick up
Speaker 2: right now. We've been talking about this. A homer with
Speaker 2: five RBI. He hit two hole for the Diamondbacks last night.
Speaker 2: He's been on a little bit of a tear. Jose
Speaker 2: Siri three for four with a homer, had three runs.
Speaker 2: Nick Gordon homer with six RBIs Hello, Nick Gordon. Ty
Speaker 2: Frantz had a homer. Salvador Perez had a homer and it.
Speaker 1: Kills me two.
Speaker 2: I almost picked Salve yesterday and I talked myself out
Speaker 2: of it for show. Hey and Aaron Judge three for
Speaker 2: five with the fifty first homer on the picture front,
Speaker 2: Zach Gallon went seven, struck out seven. I put him
Speaker 2: in a little two player prop parlay with Shoheo Tani
Speaker 2: and Gallen strikeouts and Otani in the bottom of the
Speaker 2: ninth with one out ended up hitting a double and
Speaker 2: he had a single already, and he.
Speaker 1: Got me that prop place. That was big.
Speaker 2: Gallon looked awesome. Blake Snell struck out eight and six.
Speaker 2: Framber Valdez had eight and eight Kirby struck out five
Speaker 2: and five and kal Kwan Traill struck out four and
Speaker 2: six innings. And I don't know how much you watched
Speaker 2: George Kirby, are you? I know it's tough to buy
Speaker 2: into some of these, like really really young pitchers with
Speaker 2: not big track records. How much are you gonna buy
Speaker 2: in on Kirby for next season? Because I love I
Speaker 2: just love the consistency that he continues to show up.
Speaker 1: He got out of some jams in that game.
Speaker 2: I was watching that because I almost bet on it,
Speaker 2: so I had one of those things where you know
Speaker 2: you I actually had it in the bet slip, but
Speaker 2: I let the time pass, so it got taken out
Speaker 2: of the bet slip and I was like, ah, dang it.
Speaker 2: And so then you just kind of want to watch
Speaker 2: and like misery. So I was watching a whole lot
Speaker 2: of it, and it's just so the command he continues
Speaker 2: to throw out there in the pitch mix. Are you
Speaker 2: gonna be heavy on George Kirby next year?
Speaker 3: I think so, because I don't think that his draft
Speaker 3: price is going to be like its iamb as high
Speaker 3: as Gilbert. I think he'll be able to kind of
Speaker 3: sneak him out in the teen's rounds, possibly, in which casey,
Speaker 3: you can always use a control guy. And I have
Speaker 3: been impressed with him, like not just because of his
Speaker 3: last name, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Redbarren us the Orioles the most. When we need
Speaker 2: the number, what's the number, Well, I'm gonna take a guess.
Speaker 2: I bet it's eight.
Speaker 4: What's your guess against Orioles. That's eleven.
Speaker 1: I like that, that's our guest.
Speaker 2: Someone going to drop that in the chat All around
Speaker 2: the stat zero's Luke Voight oho for five with three strikeouts,
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo was zho for four with three strikeouts, and
Speaker 2: Franchie Cordero oh for four with three strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Franchie and Jake McCarthy kind of battling.
Speaker 2: For those like, uh, guys that you want to pick
Speaker 2: up and oh, there you go, there's a number. It
Speaker 2: was nine, So we were kind of like right in
Speaker 2: the middles, just about over on the pictures, Matt Manning
Speaker 2: got shelled two and one thirty seven earned runs, gave
Speaker 2: up seven hits, only walked, walked one and struck out one.
Speaker 2: Did not look good. Aaron Nola got shelled by the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 2: went four gave up eight earned runs and ten hits.
Speaker 2: Eric Fetti gave up nine hits and six earned runs.
Speaker 2: Couldn't get to the third to go to Hudson four
Speaker 2: and two thirds, five earned runs, a whole bunch of hits.
Speaker 2: Nine in there, Kelly, we've got a wonky Wonky Wednesday
Speaker 2: home run addition, So why don't you play out and
Speaker 2: give us what the extra home run call is going
Speaker 2: to be for Wonky Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Perfect, I'll do that in just a second. Greg Hanselman asked,
Speaker 3: what do we do with Aaron Nola? He's making a
Speaker 3: run for the championship? Do we just keep throwing him
Speaker 3: out there?
Speaker 1: He keep going, he keep going?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was Yeah, the Diamondbacks offense has
Speaker 2: been I mean, they've just been a little bit on fire.
Speaker 2: But there's nothing that's going to change me on Aeron Nola, what.
Speaker 4: Are you no?
Speaker 3: I think you just keep going. So I just wanted
Speaker 3: to since you brought him up, I wanted to mention it.
Speaker 3: So today Wonky Wednesday, I'm calling it Andre Dawson Day.
Speaker 3: So in nineteen eighty seven he hit I believe forty
Speaker 3: nine home runs. I think he won the MVP and
Speaker 3: the Cubs finished in last place. That was a very
Speaker 3: proud day for me. But he was one of my favorites.
Speaker 3: I have his jersey, et cetera. So your bonus for
Speaker 3: today is to pick a player from a team that
Speaker 3: is currently last in its respective division, and then you
Speaker 3: can earn two times a number of home runs that
Speaker 3: he hits. And then, like I said, I was kind
Speaker 3: of hoping Arizona was in the bottom because I just
Speaker 3: forget the Colorado exists, but they're not. So your six
Speaker 3: teams are Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Oakland A's, Washington Nationals,
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Colorado Rockies. And I believe
Speaker 3: the Nationals and somebody play each other. I think the
Speaker 3: Nationals in the A's are.
Speaker 4: Playing each other.
Speaker 1: So take your pick there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So anyway, that's your bonus last place teams.
Speaker 1: I like it.
Speaker 2: Andre Dawson has one of like I'd probably put it
Speaker 2: in top ten of best autographs in baseball of all time.
Speaker 2: It's a very clean, just very pretty autograph if you've
Speaker 2: ever seen it. Going over to the home run leaderboard,
Speaker 2: oh yes, we got an update, there you go. De
Speaker 2: Blum is still in the lead. Did not get a call.
Speaker 2: Also had show hal TONI with me forty nine. No
Speaker 2: movement on the other top three high Covey and Go
Speaker 2: Cards had matt Olsen and Otani for Go cards, no homers,
Speaker 2: Cat Fox moved up one with a Salvey call, and
Speaker 2: we had a couple other movement on the judges. So
Speaker 2: we have got it. Looks like nine people in the
Speaker 2: forty home run marker as this contest is getting very
Speaker 2: close and is going to be fun down to the wire.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see how everyone's going to finish.
Speaker 1: Out and not excited.
Speaker 3: Look, I'm not excited to see Joey p back on
Speaker 3: the on the board. So I think we should really
Speaker 3: get some things in gear here.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I didn't even notice that. You're right,
Speaker 2: he is back on the board. Yeah, down there at
Speaker 2: thirty nine with those Aaron Judge calls. We need Aaron
Speaker 2: Judge to like.
Speaker 4: Go back to his slum up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to, you know, I need to trick
Speaker 2: joe I want to. I should like text him and
Speaker 2: be like you want to take Judge off here for
Speaker 2: someone else and then just see if he's not paying attention.
Speaker 1: He'll be like, yeah, I'll be like, gotcha, he's off.
Speaker 1: No more judge for.
Speaker 2: You because he will be back. I believe the last
Speaker 2: episode of the season. Let's not let it be a
Speaker 2: let's not be a whole big thing.
Speaker 1: Let's not. If we're smart, we're gonna not let it
Speaker 1: be a whole thing.
Speaker 2: We will let a whole thing be our friends over
Speaker 2: Yes at bet MGM, where I wear the Tiara of Happiness.
Speaker 1: Bet MGM used promo code leading off.
Speaker 2: Get a one thousand dollars risk free bet when you
Speaker 2: do it, Get on the app, get on the website,
Speaker 2: make some bets, whether it's props football season is here,
Speaker 2: college football season is here, and you still got a
Speaker 2: whole month to bet baseball, even though it's a little
Speaker 2: crazy sometimes. I hit both of my things last night,
Speaker 2: and I had a little two gamer on a parlay,
Speaker 2: and actually did I don't do this often. I played
Speaker 2: the no run first inning on the Diamondbacks game and
Speaker 2: the Giants game. Really good pitchers that paid off and
Speaker 2: it was a nice little double up.
Speaker 1: So there you go, right there. Bet MGM game us
Speaker 1: tiara in action.
Speaker 2: This is the It's kind of like the Topez or
Speaker 2: I don't know, like something like that. It's not a
Speaker 2: very colorful crown, but it's the first crown tiara of
Speaker 2: all of them that we have.
Speaker 1: So Kelly I put together as usual.
Speaker 2: I did cheat a tiny bit, actually didn't like These
Speaker 2: two were like neck and neck on top of the
Speaker 2: Bettingpros dot com. If you go to the mlbprop cheat sheet,
Speaker 2: there was number one and number two and they were.
Speaker 1: About the same same team. I decided not.
Speaker 2: To pick the top guy because I like this the
Speaker 2: other guy better, so I cheated a tiny bit. Top
Speaker 2: guy was Paul the Young It had worse juice on it.
Speaker 2: So I took number two on their prop cheat sheet
Speaker 2: and it was you need one total base from Lars
Speaker 2: new Bar and Lars the real deal. You need one
Speaker 2: total base and it's minus one forty five. That's not
Speaker 2: the worst we've seen for a single hit. He's projected
Speaker 2: two on Fantasy Pros are Betting pro so I like
Speaker 2: that one. The plus money total base play. The number
Speaker 2: one plus money is Christian Walker, who Christian Walker been
Speaker 2: pretty good against the Phillies over these last couple of days.
Speaker 1: It is one and a half.
Speaker 2: He's projected at almost two and a half and you're
Speaker 2: getting plus one ten over at sugar House. If you
Speaker 2: want to do the plus total base play, get two
Speaker 2: strikeout plays. Number one on the algorithm, not bad. Tristan
Speaker 2: McKenzie minus one fifteen for over five and a half.
Speaker 2: He's projected at seven against Baltimore. I kind of dig
Speaker 2: that one, and mackenzie has really been a payoff. And
Speaker 2: the number one plus money play Jacob de Grom against
Speaker 2: the Dodgers under eight and a half and that pays
Speaker 2: plus one oh five. So, Kelly, you've got under eight
Speaker 2: and a half strikeouts under Gram, five and a half
Speaker 2: over on McKenzie walker total bases and large new bar
Speaker 2: essentially needs one hit.
Speaker 1: What do you like out of these?
Speaker 3: Well? I love Tristan McKenzie, so I would do that one.
Speaker 3: I think he can get six strikeouts pretty easily.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 3: I mean, I love the New Bar, but I don't
Speaker 3: know how he hits lefties because minor I think is
Speaker 3: on the mound.
Speaker 4: So that one gives me a little bit of pause.
Speaker 4: I I just can't.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't under Jacob de Gram like I feel like
Speaker 3: that would be a personal affront to him and he
Speaker 3: would go strike out twelve, So.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know that you you personally under and he
Speaker 2: would make it like a point to prove you wrong.
Speaker 4: One hundred percent.
Speaker 3: He would. The other one that I like, speaking of lefties,
Speaker 3: I mean Poohols is over one point five total bases.
Speaker 3: I think what was that at plus one point fifteen
Speaker 3: on Draft Kings and he's facing a lefty and yeah,
Speaker 3: so I would take that one pretty easily.
Speaker 4: I think I liked.
Speaker 1: I like that one.
Speaker 2: So you got a walky play and got the top
Speaker 2: plays over a betting pros on the cheat sheet if
Speaker 2: you guys want to check it out, the top plays
Speaker 2: and the top money plays, you guys can dig around
Speaker 2: and make some of your own decisions on there. Over
Speaker 2: on the DFS side, some fan duel prices. Christian Javier's
Speaker 2: ten to two, Tristian McKenzie is ten to three, can
Speaker 2: never quit, Jose Kintani, he's only seven to seven. Drew
Speaker 2: rass Musin and Trevor Rodgers are going against each other. Yes,
Speaker 2: Trevor Rodgers is back. He is seven too against Tampa
Speaker 2: to rast, music is nine to eight. Would you dare
Speaker 2: Trevor Rodgers today?
Speaker 1: Would you dare?
Speaker 2: He would?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's actually what I need for him. Yes, I
Speaker 4: still roster him.
Speaker 3: I think Doctor Glenn got rid of him a little
Speaker 3: while ago and begged me to do the same, and
Speaker 3: I kept.
Speaker 4: Him in one league.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I'm gonna start in just because
Speaker 3: I want to. I want to believe so hard that
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna make it happen.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2: And cheap, nice and cheap and cheap implied runs. Philly
Speaker 2: Atlanta Toronto. They think the Diamondbacks are gonna get got today,
Speaker 2: got Tommy Henry on the mound. You know, I don't know,
Speaker 2: we'll see, but Philly Atlanta Toronto all projected over five
Speaker 2: earned runs. If you want to find some stacks in there,
Speaker 2: I think you could always stack the Cardinals as well.
Speaker 1: You can put them in and for the home run call,
Speaker 1: let's get to it.
Speaker 2: I actually was going to go with the big Dog,
Speaker 2: but as soon as I saw the Andre Dawson Wonky effect,
Speaker 2: I had to make my call. I will say I
Speaker 2: was gonna go Pool. I'm sorry Goldschmidt, and I decided
Speaker 2: to go Brian Reynolds. I'm gonna go with the Andre
Speaker 2: Dawson extra home run call. I'm gonna go with Brian
Speaker 2: Reynolds is my home run? Yours is even better?
Speaker 4: Kelly, Well, let me tell you.
Speaker 3: I decided what it was, and then I realized that
Speaker 3: Pools was facing a lefty, and I'm like, muh, but
Speaker 3: I'm going to go to our beloved Detroit Tigers, and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with.
Speaker 4: Eric cass Is it has or Hassei, it's has.
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's facing Marko Gonzalez and the wind is blowing
Speaker 3: out twelve miles an hour. So I'm gonna if you
Speaker 3: can just get a really nice pop up, if people go.
Speaker 2: Pretty good bet, and we'll see what you guys have
Speaker 2: to do. Whether the guys at the top. This is
Speaker 2: the really interesting play is what will the guys do
Speaker 2: at the top. Will they go and play, you know,
Speaker 2: their normal guys to try to get the extra or
Speaker 2: will they try.
Speaker 1: To get the extra stuff into it?
Speaker 2: Go Karts said Welsh. I was going Goldie and switching
Speaker 2: to Reynolds too. Yeah, so we were on the exact
Speaker 2: same And there's the thing right there, Go Cards is
Speaker 2: gonna go with the extra home run play because let's
Speaker 2: just say, if Go Cards were to hit it with Reynolds,
Speaker 2: he could be tied at the very top of the
Speaker 2: leader board, which would be good. Doctor Glenn gave me
Speaker 2: a stat line today I went seven shutout innings today,
Speaker 2: six strike ups. I feel pretty good about today's Actually
Speaker 2: there's a lot of Corbin Carrel. I saw a little
Speaker 2: bit of snark in the chat about me talking Corbin Carrol.
Speaker 1: But guess what top prospect doing the business. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do that. I'm gonna kind of do that. And what
Speaker 1: else are we gonna talk about right now?
Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna cry for ten minutes about Shan McClanahan.
Speaker 2: Maybe if you know what, if you had Tommy John,
Speaker 2: I actually would have a session where I'd be like,
Speaker 2: all right, everybody, get your tissues out and we would
Speaker 2: all just cry together.
Speaker 1: Like it was like a you know, a book club
Speaker 1: or something. We would just cry. That's okay, we can
Speaker 1: cry it out.
Speaker 3: I want to do like a call in. I've always
Speaker 3: thought about it'd be fun to do it. Not a
Speaker 3: call in, but like sort of on a podcast with
Speaker 3: like grief counseling, so like everyone just calls and talks
Speaker 3: about like the player that is making their fantasy teams, like.
Speaker 1: Counseling. That would be.
Speaker 3: You get one minute, and I just want you to
Speaker 3: just go ahead and absolutely vent your heart out.
Speaker 1: But we're just like, it's okay, it's not your fault,
Speaker 1: it's their fault. It's okay, Okay, you're.
Speaker 2: Good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh, don it people
Speaker 2: like you. Uh and we like you guys, but like
Speaker 2: the Peanuts and Cracker Jacks, I like Kelly the wonky
Speaker 2: Penguin on Twitter, Kelly, what's going on? What articles are
Speaker 2: ruminating out there?
Speaker 3: Well, right now, I'm kind of back. I'm drafting like
Speaker 3: a football team every day, and I'm actually working on
Speaker 3: setting up the touchdown call competition that we found out
Speaker 3: is going to have a really cool prize at.
Speaker 4: The end of it.
Speaker 3: So the thing that I wanted to promote to everyone is,
Speaker 3: I know, you don't have to like football.
Speaker 4: You may have to watch football, that's perfectly.
Speaker 3: Fine, But we are this seasoned callers, So I mean,
Speaker 3: you can jump in there. It's free, just pick some people.
Speaker 3: So that's starting up next week, so.
Speaker 1: That'll be a really fun one.
Speaker 2: Now, how do you differentiate quarterbacks? Do they get because
Speaker 2: it's going to be no quarterbacks, just position players.
Speaker 3: It's just position yep. So it's running backs, wide receivers
Speaker 3: and tightened. But there's also going to be a flex bonus, so.
Speaker 1: That'll be fun.
Speaker 2: Always doing the fun stuff over here at Fantasy Pro,
Speaker 2: so go and check that out. You can find me
Speaker 2: on Twitter at is it the Welsh. I've got some
Speaker 2: gambling stuff on Twitch going tomorrow, our little Degenathon and
Speaker 2: our Wheel our Crazy Wheel show we're doing today Twitch
Speaker 2: dot tv, Slasion this league, and of course the baseball
Speaker 2: stuff is always going on. I'm actually going to be
Speaker 2: doing a preview show on Prospect one the Arizona Fall League.
Speaker 2: I'm going to do my predictions on what players are
Speaker 2: going to get the call for what teams, and what
Speaker 2: the structure of the teams will look like. Dynasty people
Speaker 2: might feel that important because if your players do make
Speaker 2: the AFL, there's an opportunity for them to rise and
Speaker 2: fall in fantasy value. So I will be doing that
Speaker 2: on Prospect one. You guys can check out the podcast,
Speaker 2: but don't go anywhere. Make sure you I mean you
