Speaker 1: Buck Sweep, let's play ball. Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros.
Speaker 2: This is Leading Off, brought to you by bet MGM,
Speaker 2: the King of Sportsbooks. It's me, Joey p joe Pisapia
Speaker 2: with me today Again is the Welsh and of course
Speaker 2: it's you and hopefully you're a subscriber to our YouTube channel,
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pros MLB, where you could become a real life
Speaker 2: Peanut and cracker Jacks. Get in on the conversation, be
Speaker 2: part of the show. We are an interactive baseball show Welsh.
Speaker 2: That makes us special. And speaking of being special, Mike
Speaker 2: Mayer pointed out to me, there's some guy in Philadelphia
Speaker 2: trying to do a daily show about the Phillies called
Speaker 2: Leading Off. Do you think we should sue? Should we
Speaker 2: get our lawyers wow on the phone right now? Maybe? Yeah.
Speaker 3: That reminds me of our friend Casey Bubba where he's
Speaker 3: had this show for like five years with Bubba and
Speaker 3: then there was somebody on a network that it was
Speaker 3: Benched with Brianna or whatever it was called or something
Speaker 3: like that, and it was like infringement again.
Speaker 2: I remember that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe maybe we got to have a little call,
Speaker 3: like a season desist, but I'm not surprised. It's a
Speaker 3: pretty it's a pretty good name. It's pretty good name,
Speaker 3: and that's why other people are gonna want it.
Speaker 2: Look at this, Look at this, the support here. It's
Speaker 2: JP's birthday in the chat, JP thirty four. He's always
Speaker 2: with the show almost every day. He hangs out on
Speaker 2: stages with us on Discord. Happy birthday, Jp. Look at this,
Speaker 2: and Brian Hayes says we should lawyer up. You can't.
Speaker 2: You can't unfortunately sue over a title. Titles? Are you
Speaker 2: know something? You just can't deal it? So what are
Speaker 2: you gonna do?
Speaker 3: Maybe not in the podcast world, the podcast world, probably not,
Speaker 3: But you're not gonna see like the same TV shows
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 2: Sorry, everybody knows the original, you know, and the original
Speaker 2: is right here the og leading off. This is what
Speaker 2: you stay for. And let's start with something super fun,
Speaker 2: which is the Buckos, Theates sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers
Speaker 2: of Los Angeles and yeah, let me tell you something, Welsh.
Speaker 2: I continued to say that they are not invincible. I
Speaker 2: still do not believe they are. I think of the Padres.
Speaker 2: Get aggressive, get to tease back, get some more offense,
Speaker 2: in that lineup along with that pitching, they can really
Speaker 2: hand them their lunch potentially. So what do you make
Speaker 2: of this? I know it's kind of just fun and
Speaker 2: these things happen in baseball and it's only June and
Speaker 2: all the platitudes, But but what do you think about
Speaker 2: this here with the Dodgers. Do you think the Dodgers,
Speaker 2: you know, have a little soul searching to do here
Speaker 2: if you get swept at home by the Pirates.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, any team, even the Diamondback, any any
Speaker 3: team that just got swept by the Pirates would absolutely
Speaker 3: have to do that. That was a pretty brutal one
Speaker 3: because there was this like moment, especially if you enjoy
Speaker 3: gambling at all, where it was like they got it.
Speaker 3: They can't get swept right, Like this last game was
Speaker 3: like you got about the Dodgers, right, They're going to
Speaker 3: be able to pull this out. I think it's an anomaly,
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, Like it's fun, it's fun
Speaker 3: to watch the Dodgers. Who doesn't have a great time
Speaker 3: watching the Dodgers lose, especially to the Pirates. The only
Speaker 3: thing gonna better is like the Orioles coming in and
Speaker 3: beating them, or the Reds or something like that. But
Speaker 3: I still think it's an anomaly, like you, Like you said,
Speaker 3: kind of the soul searching that's going on that offense
Speaker 3: is still phenomenal. You know, the cogs that are bringing
Speaker 3: them down are having to have like Chris Taylor's struggle
Speaker 3: and honestly Cody Bellinger. At this point, the rotation's going
Speaker 3: to get better. They're going to make moves of be aggressive.
Speaker 3: This team will be fine. But it was an absolute anomaly.
Speaker 3: And to see the Pirates sweeping the Dodgers, I would
Speaker 3: have never guessed it. I would in a million years.
Speaker 3: I would have never guessed this team that is anchored
Speaker 3: by Mookie Pets, Freddy Freeman, Trey Turner is going to
Speaker 3: get swept by the likes of JT.
Speaker 2: Brubaker.
Speaker 4: It's amazing.
Speaker 2: Also, by the way, my cousin Donnie C is going
Speaker 2: to make a couple of calls by the way, regarding
Speaker 2: leading off just so you know. Now, those calls I
Speaker 2: don't think are to a legal department. They might be
Speaker 2: to other relatives of ours, just putting that out there.
Speaker 4: Did you know I got a call from yesterday too?
Speaker 2: I did? You did?
Speaker 4: I missed it?
Speaker 3: And I didn't get to get back to ye busy day.
Speaker 3: But I might be getting called up to the big
Speaker 3: softball show.
Speaker 2: Oh are you, oh baby? But I don't pictures of that.
Speaker 2: Send me some picks of that. I want to see. Well,
Speaker 2: she on the field all right. Brandon Rodgers hits three.
Speaker 2: Has a three homer game versus the Marlins yesterday, so
Speaker 2: it's great to see him really having a nice May
Speaker 2: into June after having a terrible start of the season.
Speaker 2: John Gray twelve strikeouts against the Rays. He got the
Speaker 2: non decision. But you know, I did a little homework
Speaker 2: on John Gray this morning. I just recorded the video
Speaker 2: for the waiverre pickups. He is still available in more
Speaker 2: than fifty percent of leagues, and I still think he's rosterable.
Speaker 2: I still think you take a shot on John Gray,
Speaker 2: you stick him on your bench and see if he's
Speaker 2: figuring it out, or you play your matchups carefully because
Speaker 2: you can't have enough pitching. And John Gray's stopping and
Speaker 2: starting to the rhythm of the season. I think it
Speaker 2: was a COVID thing in there. He had another injury issue.
Speaker 2: He hasn't really gotten into a rhythm, and despite all that,
Speaker 2: he's still got a pretty decent hit per nine. The
Speaker 2: K per nine is above nine. I still think there's
Speaker 2: a lot of reason to believe in John Gray. Are
Speaker 2: you a believer in adding him to a roster again?
Speaker 2: Fifty percent wash. That seems like you're kind of crazy
Speaker 2: the he's available in that many leagues.
Speaker 3: He was like one of the guys that like was
Speaker 3: an ITL guy, Like in the preseason we were drafting him.
Speaker 4: Obviously you can move, you know, in and out.
Speaker 3: With him of anything, but he was one of those
Speaker 3: guys where take him out of Colorado, put him in Texas,
Speaker 3: let's see we might have reaped results. What's hilariously funny, though,
Speaker 3: is check this out. Last year in Colorado nine four
Speaker 3: eight k per nine, this year nine six six. Last
Speaker 3: year in Colorado three point five walk per nine, this
Speaker 3: year three point two nine, an over one homer per nine.
Speaker 3: Both years a four five nine ERA, last year a
Speaker 3: four eight three ERA. But what he does, and this
Speaker 3: is maybe the effects you see his era to x
Speaker 3: FIP last year was four five nine to four oh four.
Speaker 4: It's a little bit better this.
Speaker 3: Year over a full run for eight three ERA in
Speaker 3: Texas three five one x fitit so a lot of
Speaker 3: the metrics are still the same. Left on base percentages
Speaker 3: around the same ground ball rates actually gotten a little
Speaker 3: bit worse, but he's getting the ball less than the air.
Speaker 3: I thought there would be bigger results coming out of Colorado.
Speaker 3: They're not necessarily, but simply being out of Colorado and
Speaker 3: having the same repertoire, he's just gonna have better result.
Speaker 3: The x FIP is better, the era or theory can
Speaker 3: be better. So he's a guy that you hold on to.
Speaker 3: If there's great streaming options out there, I think you
Speaker 3: can kind of like burn and churn him. But he
Speaker 3: would be a guy that I would be placing on
Speaker 3: the back end of my bench and trying to hold
Speaker 3: on to for at least the next month to see
Speaker 3: what comes through.
Speaker 2: I am in agreement on that. Tour Schooble seven squirrel sittings?
Speaker 2: What else is new? Tory Schooble, the ace of the
Speaker 2: Detroit Tigers. Justin Verlander was flirting with a no hitter
Speaker 2: for six hittings, where the seventh hitting things unraveled, made
Speaker 2: a bad pitch to Bett in court and that was
Speaker 2: all she wrote. So what looked like another dominant outing
Speaker 2: unfortunately ended in a no decision for him, but Jordan
Speaker 2: Alva has ended up saving his bacon. The Yankees and
Speaker 2: Angels got rained out yesterday, but they're going to have
Speaker 2: a makeup game today. Got the double dip going, You're
Speaker 2: gonna have Cortes, You're gonna have Otani, lots of fun stuff,
Speaker 2: and and the Nationals called up Luis Garcia, also Welsh.
Speaker 2: Just on the injury front of things too, Grayson Rodriguez
Speaker 2: diagnosed with lat discomfort. The lat injuries are very tricky.
Speaker 2: Was it Syindegard a couple of years ago? Right, he
Speaker 2: had the lat injury and they end up missing most
Speaker 2: of the season. This is a little scary right now.
Speaker 2: There's some injuries that, you know, freak me out more
Speaker 2: than others. What are your thoughts right now on the
Speaker 2: Grayson Rodriguez lat discomfort that was reported yesterday.
Speaker 3: It's not great, Bob, not great Bob, Max Mayer going
Speaker 3: down with an il, Grason Rodriguez going down.
Speaker 2: The two Well, Mayor's supposed to be Mayor's throwing from
Speaker 2: Max not Mayor. Let's never call him Mayory. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: man never uves that name on the show.
Speaker 3: But my point is is like two of the top
Speaker 3: pitching prospects going down with injuries kind of on the
Speaker 3: precipice of when they would be called up. I'm not
Speaker 3: super excited about it. I never thought necessarily the orders
Speaker 3: would be hyper aggressive. But with Adlee up, it did
Speaker 3: feel like this was the time, like mid June, late June,
Speaker 3: get him up, work with a guy he's known. I
Speaker 3: think it's kid gloves if this could be a lot worse.
Speaker 3: The one thing I'm actually surprised it's not in this
Speaker 3: open I know it is in the stat heroes, is
Speaker 3: that Edward Cabrera's out there. If you're looking for alternatives,
Speaker 3: this was a guy you should have been looking at.
Speaker 3: He was no hitting yesterday through six, only gave up
Speaker 3: one hit, struck out nine. He's not like classic rookie
Speaker 3: like Grayson would have been because he's been up, but
Speaker 3: he's been out for quite a while and was hitting
Speaker 3: a change up at ninety four yesterday.
Speaker 4: Just absurd stuff he was doing.
Speaker 3: So if you were banking on Grayson Rodriguez, I would
Speaker 3: immediately and I'd be comfortable with the rest of season.
Speaker 3: Just put him to the side, because this could set
Speaker 3: you back even further. Now, maybe you're looking at mid
Speaker 3: July or something like that. Edward Cabrera might be a
Speaker 3: fantastic placeholder to Rock maybe for the rest of the season,
Speaker 3: because he looked incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, according to what Mike Mayer says that Grace
Speaker 2: Rodriguez haz downplayed the injury as just a cramp. So
Speaker 2: we'll wing to see what happens. So let's just be
Speaker 2: prepared for the worst and see what happens. And looking
Speaker 2: around the injury landscape, to Kuri, Kimbrel was unavailable while
Speaker 2: fixing his mechanics, and his mechanics are fixing his car,
Speaker 2: so lots of things are going on. Hinjin Ryu left
Speaker 2: with four armed tightness. Ryu is forget it. Like the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays need to go get Martine Perez, they need
Speaker 2: to go get Momtas, they need to go get somebody
Speaker 2: and Tyler Naquin ends up on the il with a
Speaker 2: quad and whenever you know, injuries strike Welsh. I always
Speaker 2: think the best thing to do is to take a
Speaker 2: deep breath, go out to the grill and make some steaks,
Speaker 2: and Almaha Steaks is the perfect place to do that.
Speaker 2: Go to Almaha Steaks dot com right now, use that
Speaker 2: promo code leading off and you can get the dads
Speaker 2: want steak package. I want steak. You want steak, well,
Speaker 2: maybe not you. Everybody wants the steak. And I'm telling
Speaker 2: you right now, I know the vegetarian over here with
Speaker 2: this thing, but you know what, Listen to me. I
Speaker 2: told you I made him a Memorial Day. I've still
Speaker 2: got the chicken left, I've still got some burgers left,
Speaker 2: I've still got the hot dogs left to grill. Omaha
Speaker 2: Steaks has premium meat, the bacon wrapped filet Mignon's, the
Speaker 2: gourmet Jumbo Franks, which was also ironically Welsh's nickname in college.
Speaker 2: Jumbo Frank. Actually, Gourmet Jumbo Frank was Welsh's nickname in college.
Speaker 2: Air chilled boneless chicken breasts, and the caramel apple tartlets
Speaker 2: all can be yours. Plus when you use the promo
Speaker 2: code leading off, you get eight free Omaha Steak burgers.
Speaker 2: They're delicious, I'm telling you. And they come in the
Speaker 2: vacuseal pack so you can make them one at a time,
Speaker 2: so or you can make all eight. Doesn't matter. It
Speaker 2: all depends on what your idea of a party is.
Speaker 2: And right now, the party starts and ends with the
Speaker 2: big box of meat from Omaha Steaks. So once again,
Speaker 2: use that promo code leading off when you do and
Speaker 2: go get that Dad's Want Steaks package for one hundred
Speaker 2: percent guarantee in deliciousness. Now, Welsh, I want to talk
Speaker 2: about this. I want to talk about the Toronto Blue
Speaker 2: Jays again, but this time we'll say something positive. Let's
Speaker 2: talk about Danny Jansen and let's talk about what he's
Speaker 2: doing right now. Seven home rows in six games, incredible
Speaker 2: power trend. They're getting a lot of productivity from that
Speaker 2: catcher spot, which they are because they've missed some productivity
Speaker 2: from Vlad from Ti. Oscar Simeon's gone. So what do
Speaker 2: you make of the Danny Jansen renaissance we're getting here?
Speaker 3: I don't, I mean, I don't make anything insane about it,
Speaker 3: but I will say, I mean, they're getting like all
Speaker 3: star catcher out of Alejandro Kirk and Danny Jansen right now.
Speaker 3: It's incredible productivity and that's what this team needs. I mean,
Speaker 3: you didn't Eve Menantion Tasker, Hernandez struggling. You said Vlad,
Speaker 3: you said Bishett Springer's been fine. You know, it's just
Speaker 3: been the most mediocre offense, which I kind of think
Speaker 3: is maybe like contagious around outside of the catcher position.
Speaker 3: You know, those guys have been able to hold up.
Speaker 3: This what this team needs. But catching, in my mind,
Speaker 3: is meant for streaming, especially in smaller leagues.
Speaker 4: If you can go and.
Speaker 3: Get the elite guy at a discount, great, If you
Speaker 3: could have got Dalton var Show, you get the stolen bases,
Speaker 3: you get a catcher that plays another position.
Speaker 4: Great.
Speaker 3: But otherwise I'm not paying up, never paying up for
Speaker 3: guys like YASMANI grand all blah. I didn't like to
Speaker 3: necessarily pay up for j.
Speaker 4: T Romuto. Salvey was too.
Speaker 3: If you can get them at great discounts, it's awesome.
Speaker 3: If not, you play this game, because go and look
Speaker 3: and see how this works out.
Speaker 2: It's a good one. Yes, coming off there all the
Speaker 2: guys from Toronto, like, you've got a lot of Usually,
Speaker 2: catcher's not a spot where you get guts off the
Speaker 2: waiver wire and you're like, wow, look at Ketcher being bountiful.
Speaker 2: Ketcher's been bountifully good this year.
Speaker 3: A league which is the league yesterday I was going
Speaker 3: through and will Contrast was on. It was two days ago,
Speaker 3: was available, and I was shocked. I didn't even know
Speaker 3: how I missed him, and I immediately picked him up.
Speaker 3: Even though he's not necessarily full time guy. Two doubles yesterday,
Speaker 3: he's closing in on double digit homers.
Speaker 4: He's phenomenal.
Speaker 3: That's the type of stuff that you can go out
Speaker 3: there and find and you actually open yourself up sometimes too,
Speaker 3: you know, if you were I've always.
Speaker 4: Wanted to do this, I've never really done this.
Speaker 3: Go and you know, draft your catcher, or monitor where
Speaker 3: someone drafted a catcher, and then go and monitor what
Speaker 3: you get productive productivity out of a catcher throughout the
Speaker 3: season and see what level that catcher of you streaming
Speaker 3: would have produced. Would it have been catcher one or
Speaker 3: catch you'd be surprised. It probably would be a top
Speaker 3: three catcher in your league if you stream them correctly.
Speaker 3: And Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk both big options. Jansen would
Speaker 3: have been someone if I'm playing that game, that would
Speaker 3: have been at top of the list, and you write
Speaker 3: him until they start falling off and Kirk starts taking
Speaker 3: over and go somewhere else.
Speaker 2: All right, Let's move on to the next bit of
Speaker 2: news here, and that is something Mike Mayer wanted me
Speaker 2: to talk about. So I kind of have to got
Speaker 2: to keep him happy. Actually this has some merit, which
Speaker 2: is he did a piece on fantasypros dot com which
Speaker 2: you can look at all about, which is Fantasy Baseball
Speaker 2: season to date points leaders. But he's using the Yahoo points,
Speaker 2: which are bananas. So let's play a game. Name the
Speaker 2: guys who are at the top ten in Yahoo points.
Speaker 2: Let's see if you can get how many out of
Speaker 2: ten you can get?
Speaker 3: Okay, So I clicked on it and I saw the
Speaker 3: first two, but I didn't see anybody else.
Speaker 2: But it's pretty easy. It's Aaron Judge and Mookie bets Are.
Speaker 2: That's pretty easy. Okay. So Judge and bets are two.
Speaker 2: Name some other guys you think you're in the top
Speaker 2: ten of Yahoo points. Peter Alonzo, Peter Alonzo's number three, okay,
Speaker 2: his teammate. You might want to throw in there too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, franky, but this is going to be tough,
Speaker 3: especially with the weirdness.
Speaker 4: Is Sandie Contra No?
Speaker 3: No, Okay, then I don't know if there's going to
Speaker 3: be any Shae McClanahan gotta be no.
Speaker 2: I think this is just a hitter list from well,
Speaker 2: this is just a hitter list.
Speaker 4: Okay, yes, how.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's not just the hitter list. Holy crap.
Speaker 2: Shane McClanahan is forty third.
Speaker 4: Oh god, I mean that goes again.
Speaker 3: That goes against everything that we want to sell people
Speaker 3: that you got to get your pictures, bro.
Speaker 2: This is why in the Black Book I put out
Speaker 2: every year, here's a good point system to use. Use
Speaker 2: this point system. It's fair. It values hitters and pictures
Speaker 2: the same. At the end of the day, the elite
Speaker 2: guys are the elite guys. It's all about how you
Speaker 2: want to Just.
Speaker 3: By the way everybody hand went ahead the head you went,
Speaker 3: I can't do this.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't. Okay, So here's the other Do
Speaker 2: you want to take another couple of cracks. It's in
Speaker 2: the top ten guys.
Speaker 3: Okay, you've got judge for Alonzo and frankielndorraz closer.
Speaker 4: Ramirez has to be.
Speaker 2: He's not what. I don't know how, but he is not.
Speaker 2: He is seventeenth what he's at two hundred and eighty three.
Speaker 2: I don't know how. I don't know why. This is
Speaker 2: straight off of Yahoo straight. Here are the other names.
Speaker 3: C J.
Speaker 2: Crown has is fourth of course. Story it's six, Patrick
Speaker 2: Wisdom is seventh, Paul Goldsmith is eighth, Mike Trout is nine,
Speaker 2: and Kyle Schwarber has two hundred and ninety four points
Speaker 2: at ten. I don't know how this is true or
Speaker 2: how this could be. I don't know why Yahoo went
Speaker 2: and got drunk and created a point system. I can
Speaker 2: only assume it doesn't take minuses for strikeouts into account.
Speaker 3: I can only assume I'm totally not going to use
Speaker 3: this list as a reason why I don't.
Speaker 4: It's tout points leagues as much as possible.
Speaker 3: I'm totally not going to make this all a big
Speaker 3: point that in this points league Patrick Wisdom is more
Speaker 3: valuable than Paul Goldschmid.
Speaker 2: That's cool, well, but but this is why points leagues
Speaker 2: get a bad rap when you don't pay attention to
Speaker 2: what it's supposed to be in terms of valuing things
Speaker 2: the same. Now, you don't want to be completely crazy
Speaker 2: either where all the pitchers are completely dominating all the hitters. Either.
Speaker 2: You want to create like my system is minus point
Speaker 2: five for strikeouts, so it's not crushing because you can't
Speaker 2: you do minus one. Nobody's ever going to get a
Speaker 2: point now because everybody strikes out too much. But you
Speaker 2: gotta docu something.
Speaker 4: This is twenty five points per home run?
Speaker 2: Is that? What this is? What the hell it is?
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but Mike Mayer found it.
Speaker 2: He wanted us to talk about it, so we talked
Speaker 2: about it. There you go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to point out this is amazing.
Speaker 3: Johnnio Suarez and Yahoo is more valuable than Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 4: I can't curse here, but get out of here.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how that's physically possible.
Speaker 3: I'm about to walk off this show. I'm about to
Speaker 3: walk up. Didn't did Mayor do this on purpose? I'm
Speaker 3: about to walk off the show. Yo, Henniel Suarez over
Speaker 3: Jose Ramirez.
Speaker 2: It's first ever lead off walk off.
Speaker 4: There you go, Yeah, the walk walk that's gonna be
Speaker 4: my episode.
Speaker 2: Well she's gonna have it all right. Uh, here's fun facts.
Speaker 2: We're star Lang's three three homer game including walk off
Speaker 2: homers since two thousand, So a three run home a
Speaker 2: three home run game. Excuse me, but the last of
Speaker 2: the three being the walk off Brendan Rodgers last night,
Speaker 2: Eddie Rosario h June of twenty eighteen, manam Mitchildahead won
Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, Chris Davis, Joe Albert Pools have all
Speaker 2: done it and Todd Hollins work Let's go two thousand
Speaker 2: and one. All right, trivia time, get ready, Peanuts and
Speaker 2: Cracker Jacks and Welsh. I did not put the answer
Speaker 2: in today. Okay, I know you've actually been looking at
Speaker 2: the show sheet. Bookie Betts had eleven home runs in
Speaker 2: the month of May. Who holds the all time record
Speaker 2: for home runs in the month of May? And that's
Speaker 2: a question. May in the month of May, who is
Speaker 2: at the greatest May in the history of home run hitting?
Speaker 2: That's your question. Could be an all time great guy,
Speaker 2: could be a not so great guy. I don't know.
Speaker 2: If you've got an answer, drop it in the chat here.
Speaker 2: If you're a Peanut and the Cracker Jacks, we'll give
Speaker 2: you the answer in a bit. Nor is Sammy Sosa?
Speaker 4: That is so I would just want to point out.
Speaker 3: Brian put in Sammy Sosa, and I immediately thought, so
Speaker 3: that was my guest too. That was the first person
Speaker 3: that came to my mind. I just wanted to give
Speaker 3: him credit because that is exactly where I went.
Speaker 2: Also, the birthday boy got it first Actually people said Griffy,
Speaker 2: but here it was it was Barry Bonds JP got
Speaker 2: it and ark throughout the number, which is seventeen.
Speaker 4: I was about to ask, what's the number? He hits
Speaker 4: seventeen homers in May?
Speaker 2: Good lord, seventeen home runs in May in two thousand
Speaker 2: and one. Wow, just that is just a stunning wow.
Speaker 2: Also this day in baseball history, Welsh the Mariners select
Speaker 2: Cincinnati high school kid named Ken Griffy Junior, son of
Speaker 2: Braves outfielder Ken Griffy Senior, is the first overall pick.
Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny when anyone says Ken Griffy
Speaker 2: Junior or draft or anything, I immediately think of the
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine upper deck card. Is that wrong? Like
Speaker 2: that's immediately what comes to my brain is Ken Griffy
Speaker 2: Junior baseball card lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's I mean, it's iconic.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 4: He's iconic in so many ways.
Speaker 3: I mean, I have my gostballism, my baseball ism Ken
Speaker 3: Griffy hat, which that's nice.
Speaker 2: That's a nice hat. By the way, Peanuts and Crackers
Speaker 2: actually shaved Welsh into wearing a hat today after he
Speaker 2: shaved his head. And you guys see, oh, that's a.
Speaker 3: Media other where Joe went, I was like, I do
Speaker 3: also hats on days, but yeah, I mean and if
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna, I will not, especially on days where
Speaker 3: Johineo Suarez is more valuable than Jose Ramires. I will
Speaker 3: not have hair shaming into my life. I got enough
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 2: Yo Han zero zero Yahoo leagues this year. I'm so proud,
Speaker 2: you know what, me.
Speaker 3: Too, Actually me to the only league I have, by
Speaker 3: the way, and Yahoo is one that Scott and I
Speaker 3: use just to go in and check current rankings. We
Speaker 3: only we literally have one just to check the rankings
Speaker 3: of a league standard. We don't play in it, which
Speaker 3: is the first time I'll still tell you my number
Speaker 3: one app. It's the best app of any of them.
Speaker 3: But the quality of all of it has dropped so
Speaker 3: so exponentially.
Speaker 2: Brian Hay said, he wants to make you Haneo Sarez
Speaker 2: home run call today.
Speaker 3: Know what, Oh my god, if that happens, that might
Speaker 3: be signing might hit. That might be a sign. Someone's
Speaker 3: got to do it. Someone's got to do it.
Speaker 2: Stad heroes Tarik's Google six K seven innings no earned.
Speaker 2: John Gray we mentioned his twelve case one earned over seven.
Speaker 2: Edward Cabrera we're talking about before nine k's six scoreless
Speaker 2: innings to Quota Hudson believe it or not, seven innings,
Speaker 2: one earned run, and Kyle Wright five walks, five k's
Speaker 2: but no earned so he was able to work at
Speaker 2: a jams. Brenton Rodgers was the guy. Three home runs
Speaker 2: last night. Brian Reynolds had a home run a stolen base.
Speaker 2: Nice day for him. Noah Narnado with a home run,
Speaker 2: Jass Chisholm with a home run two for five, four ribies,
Speaker 2: Thomas Thomas Nido four four nice, Peterson Nido and Trey
Speaker 2: Man CD with two for four with a home run,
Speaker 2: and Thomas Niedl obviously the backup catcher of the Mets.
Speaker 2: There stad zero's Chad Smith not the drummer of the
Speaker 2: Chili Peppers, but he did get drummed. Six earned one inning,
Speaker 2: no case. Herman Marquez six inning, excuse me, five innings
Speaker 2: six earned. Trevor Rodgers, boy ol boy man, what a
Speaker 2: disappointment he's been five earned for him, Copek three innings,
Speaker 2: five earned, Sergio Romo two thirds of an inning, five earned,
Speaker 2: and Tonio Senzatela six earned runs. Uh Copek, let's go there,
Speaker 2: because his e r A is lower than the x FIP.
Speaker 2: Is this going to be a little bit of a
Speaker 2: rough patchier coming up for Copec?
Speaker 4: You think, yeah, there's there's been built in regression coming
Speaker 4: for him. We've seen it.
Speaker 3: We've definitely seen it in when you've looked at differences
Speaker 3: between e r A, X FIPS, Sierra, all that type
Speaker 3: of stuff. It's been out there, by the way. I
Speaker 3: wanted to show you this as uh maybe it's the
Speaker 3: Curse Joe, but I'll just put it up here.
Speaker 4: You know who that is? Uh No, I think that
Speaker 4: it doesn't want to it doesn't want.
Speaker 2: To straighten a person. I just can't make it out.
Speaker 2: I'm old.
Speaker 4: It was me and Sergio, Me and Sergio.
Speaker 2: Oh it's Romo.
Speaker 3: It just doesn't want to like, it doesn't want to
Speaker 3: like not be blurry because of how I've got it.
Speaker 4: But it was me and Sergio Romo.
Speaker 2: It shows you that Welsh is a giant too, because like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty talk like this kid. Yeah, and he's wearing cleats.
Speaker 2: The Hitters Marcus simeon O for six with three K,
Speaker 2: the Francis Cordero over four with three k's Taylor Walls
Speaker 2: over five with three k's Juan Soto over four two k's.
Speaker 2: You don't see him on the stat zero list ever,
Speaker 2: Alec Bowm over four two k's Bobby Zawback over Bobby
Speaker 2: two ks Bobby Zawback all right, High Cubby's up to
Speaker 2: seventeen home runs. Wow, Mookie Betts, all so that is
Speaker 2: going well. Let's take a look at the leader board.
Speaker 2: So good job there by High Cubbies starting to make
Speaker 2: it interesting. There we still got the same guys at
Speaker 2: the top. This is I'm at twelve. I am I
Speaker 2: am closing in on Mike Mayer's fourteen. Let's go wow.
Speaker 4: And also like, how many days did King of the
Speaker 4: North have the number one spot?
Speaker 2: He has to do.
Speaker 3: He has to be number one on days spent at
Speaker 3: number one as he's currently dethroned.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 2: He's definitely number one on the days spent, there's no
Speaker 2: doubt about that. Also, Max Junior thirty five up to
Speaker 2: sixteen calling No. One Aronato yesterday. We'll get to our
Speaker 2: home run calls in a bit, but before we do,
Speaker 2: let's talk a little betting. Pro was with the King
Speaker 2: of Sportsbooks download the bet mgm app. Use the promo
Speaker 2: code leading off bet ten dollars win two hundred dollars
Speaker 2: with the promo code leading off, you sign up at
Speaker 2: betmgm dot com or just download the betmgm app. It's
Speaker 2: a special offer for new users. Again. The promo code
Speaker 2: is leading off today. Welsh many many Ramires.
Speaker 4: Many Machado, maybe maybe maybe many Mares.
Speaker 2: I just I was thinking about Jose Ramirez and Manny Machado,
Speaker 2: and I made them one person there you go, which
Speaker 2: is Maniamires, which is pretty.
Speaker 4: Good, you know what, And that might be that might
Speaker 4: be the child of so good job.
Speaker 2: Manny Machado. RBI total point five. It's plus one point
Speaker 2: fifty on bet MGM against the Brewers and Hawser today
Speaker 2: Adrian Hauser himself. The strikeout prop is just three and
Speaker 2: a half against the Padres. I like the over on
Speaker 2: this one. It's minus one forty four, but I don't
Speaker 2: care Wholeia Rodriguez on DK even money on the one
Speaker 2: and a half total basis. Cedric Mullins two is a
Speaker 2: really good matchup today against Flexen. He's at one and
Speaker 2: a half on DK, but the juice for total bases
Speaker 2: for him is plus one oh five, not bad Welsh.
Speaker 2: What do you see in the prop market you like today?
Speaker 4: You know, I haven't really gone towards this guy really ever.
Speaker 3: But Ian Anderson strikeouts at three and a half. He's
Speaker 3: hit that three of his last four. And Colorado, who
Speaker 3: is in the top ten of not striking out over
Speaker 3: their last three games. They've been averaging over nine strikeouts
Speaker 3: per game over the last three, So I really like
Speaker 3: that one. I don't do a ton of total base ones.
Speaker 3: I kind of like the what was the one that
Speaker 3: I liked? The Julio one that you had, and so
Speaker 3: maybe if I wanted to do a little parlay together.
Speaker 3: But a lot of these are even money. Ronald'cunya total
Speaker 3: bases versus Colorado's at one and a half. He's got
Speaker 3: hits in eight of his last ten games, five of
Speaker 3: which he.
Speaker 4: Has reached to total bases.
Speaker 3: And Goldie Goldie is even money on the total bases
Speaker 3: at one and a half and it's Goldie.
Speaker 4: So those are my three that I like. And Anderson strikeouts,
Speaker 4: Ronald Acunya and Goldie total base overs.
Speaker 2: Uh, Mike Mayor, please let me know who has won
Speaker 2: the month of May, who had the most home run
Speaker 2: calls right too, because they get a T shirt. So
Speaker 2: Mike Mayor, make sure you give me that name if
Speaker 2: you can get it now. If not, we'll do it
Speaker 2: tomorrow and we send them out leading off T shirt
Speaker 2: for winning the month of May. Also, this could be
Speaker 2: fun for everybody loves baseball. The Angels are gonna put
Speaker 2: Otani against Nestor Cortez at one o'clock Eastern today.
Speaker 4: Get on that. I woke up getting ready. I was like,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna bet me some Yankees and then I saw
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, it's a versus Cortes. Watch it
Speaker 4: set it out. Yeah, I'll watch.
Speaker 2: Keep it simple tonight with DFS again if you listened yesterday,
Speaker 2: and use Jonathan Gray as your secondary arm on DK.
Speaker 2: Remember when we said that because he was what six
Speaker 2: k yes to just put him, we said with Cortes.
Speaker 2: But we also said, obviously if Cortes wasn't there because
Speaker 2: he got rained out, but instead of Scooble was the
Speaker 2: other guy. Scooble and John Gray won you money yesterday.
Speaker 2: So today again, let's keep it simple on DK. You
Speaker 2: got Sean and I versus Adrian Houser. I don't the
Speaker 2: four outcome games. But split this one because there's not
Speaker 2: a lot of guys out there. I like split it up.
Speaker 2: Play Manaiah with Libertor in cash and do Houser with
Speaker 2: Libertor in tournaments. That should be the way to do it.
Speaker 2: On FanDuel. You get the six to forty games, so
Speaker 2: just go out best Sandy al Contra lineup wins. The
Speaker 2: guy's been phenomenal. He's eleven K. He deserves it. I'm
Speaker 2: not even overthinking it. But you're gonna need some cheap stacks.
Speaker 2: So Cincinnati Washington that game I think is gonna have
Speaker 2: some runs today. Atlanta, Baltimore, those are some places you
Speaker 2: can go. Fade away from the Colorado a little bit.
Speaker 2: He might end up paying off for you potentially, but
Speaker 2: look to at least Atlanta in that one side of
Speaker 2: the game. You can look to Colorado side also, but
Speaker 2: it's gonna be very chalky, So look for another game,
Speaker 2: maybe Cincinnati Washington. A bunch of slapnut pitchers in that
Speaker 2: one DK lineup builders. You got Brendan Rodgers at three
Speaker 2: point nine. He's hot right now, so keep riding the wave.
Speaker 2: Nolan Gorman if he's back in the lineup at two
Speaker 2: six Ryan Mountcastle, Mike Maher's biological father at two point eight.
Speaker 2: Rutchman in that same game against Flexing a two point six,
Speaker 2: Joey Voto a two point five on FanDuel, and Saser
Speaker 2: Hernandez a two point nine at the top of that
Speaker 2: Washington lineup. Speaking to Washington, Juan Soto, that's where I'm
Speaker 2: going with the home run call today after a zero
Speaker 2: for four, two k's, that's not acceptable. The one one
Speaker 2: gets back on track in Cincinnati. Where are you going
Speaker 2: with your home run call today? The Welsh I.
Speaker 3: Would love to go with Jose Ramirez, as it was
Speaker 3: pointed out to me, but I can't Guardians not in
Speaker 3: the not in it today, though I do hope to
Speaker 3: see some Johanno Suarez bets out there. I am going
Speaker 3: to go with Paul Goldschmidt. He was hot in May
Speaker 3: continue going on own those cubbies. He's got a small
Speaker 3: track record versus Keen Thompson, but two for five, so
Speaker 3: give me a big bomb for Paul Goldschmidt. I need
Speaker 3: to get back on the board.
Speaker 4: I need to run. I need to have a nice
Speaker 4: little stretch run here in June. I want to get
Speaker 4: on that board. Bad.
Speaker 2: Who's better Keegan Thompson or Keenan Thompson.
Speaker 4: Keegan Thompson, Wayne, wasn't that the what was the chef?
Speaker 4: What was the show that had.
Speaker 2: Keenan and kell Yeah, keen confusing Keegan Michael Key with
Speaker 2: Keenan Thompson. I think you're getting all of your.
Speaker 3: That's the child I'm making you made Manny Ramirez, I'm
Speaker 3: making a Nickelodeon players.
Speaker 2: So yeah. But Keenan Thompson has never made me laugh,
Speaker 2: except for one thing when he used to do Big
Speaker 2: Poppy on SNL. That was a very funny bit. He
Speaker 2: was very funny as Big Poppy. But everything he does
Speaker 2: is exactly the same, so it never was like always
Speaker 2: the same cadence, the same thing no matter what he does.
Speaker 2: But the Big Poppy things had a couple of those though.
Speaker 3: They got They got some people that it's like, there's
Speaker 3: not a lot of rains, just this person doing this thing.
Speaker 4: Well, who's the late night guy.
Speaker 3: Not Jimmy Kimmel, but Jimmy Jimmy Fallon is just Jimmy
Speaker 3: Fallon at all times.
Speaker 4: He's never anybody else. It's kind of the same thing
Speaker 4: to make Oh.
Speaker 2: See the that I disagree with he does a great Springsteen.
Speaker 2: He doesn't go out good like vocal. He does good
Speaker 2: impressions of people and things like that. He does, but
Speaker 2: he but he never the character.
Speaker 4: No, okay, Bill Hayter.
Speaker 3: Bill Hayter takes you completely out of him being Bill
Speaker 3: Hayter and he's somebody else.
Speaker 4: Yes, you always feel.
Speaker 3: Like when Jimmy Fallon is doing something, You're like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is Jimmy Fallon doing this thing. It's like Jimmy,
Speaker 3: He's like m little smirk or whatever. Like Hater is
Speaker 3: a genius. Fallon is just a version of Fallon at
Speaker 3: all times. And that's how Keenan and Larry whatever.
Speaker 2: Larry says, the LeVar ball is amazing, and yeah, his
Speaker 2: LeVar ball is pretty good too, but it's it's all
Speaker 2: about the big poppy.
Speaker 4: His var balls cool, fantastic.
Speaker 2: I think he's I think as he's making up some
Speaker 2: of the dishes and then he always goes like this
Speaker 2: at the end. I always love he points up to
Speaker 2: the sky. So I'm gonna do that. Because we're closing
