Speaker 1: Didn't come out now, Oh my god, it came out already.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know I was doing errands this morning.
Speaker 1: But the Waiver Wire video will be out at some
Speaker 1: point this week as well. So stay on top of
Speaker 1: all your fantasy baseball stuff, all your wagering stuff, all
Speaker 1: your baseball, all your fun.
Speaker 2: Welsh.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of stuff to get to today.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the show. Today's got some
Speaker 1: bigger questions about some players.
Speaker 3: Oh I think this philosophical, Joe.
Speaker 2: It's like, this is philosophical, Joe.
Speaker 1: It might be a little philosophical. I'm a philosophical person
Speaker 1: in any many ways. I want to talk about Corbyn
Speaker 1: Burns because I think it's time to have a sit down.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe this we should call this the sit down.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is a good thing, you know, like and
Speaker 1: the mob wants to have a sit down and talk
Speaker 1: about what's going on with things that aren't going right,
Speaker 1: you know, with the different families, you have a sit down,
Speaker 1: you try to figure out what's going on and see
Speaker 1: if you go to war or if instead, you know,
Speaker 1: you work things out and everybody wets their beak. So
Speaker 1: let's talk about Corbyn Burns. Five runs in five innings yesterday. Now,
Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns a couple of years ago looked like the
Speaker 1: most dominant picture in baseball pretty much, I said Jacob
Speaker 1: mcgraham was Corbyn Burns. I went to think he went
Speaker 1: like two months without walking somebody a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: It was crazy. He has not looked like the regular
Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns. Our friend Frank Stanfel, a friend of yours,
Speaker 1: friend of ours, friends of the family. Last twenty starts
Speaker 1: for Corbyn Burns. He tweeted this this morning. I saw
Speaker 1: this at four to fourteen era, a one point whip,
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen strikeouts and one hundred and fifteen innings. Now,
Speaker 1: the strikeouts are right where they need to be, the
Speaker 1: whip is right where it wants to be. It's that
Speaker 1: er that's over four that I just can't figure out
Speaker 1: what's wrong. So I guess here's the big question here.
Speaker 1: You've made big investments in Corbin Burns. He has pitched well,
Speaker 1: but he has not pitched like an ace, like the
Speaker 1: guy that you spent early draft capital on. So what
Speaker 1: do you do with Corbyn Burns? And what's the answer here?
Speaker 3: I mean those big philosophical questions. You're like, okay, so
Speaker 3: here's this big thing, So what do we do? What's
Speaker 3: the answer? It's a great question. Corbyn Burns is a problem.
Speaker 3: Vlow's down kind of across the board. The effectiveness of.
Speaker 1: That was a very mob answer. By the way, Burns
Speaker 1: is a problem.
Speaker 3: He has a little bit of a problem. We got
Speaker 3: a problem on our hands, Joey, we got a problem
Speaker 3: on our hands. Like I said, Vlow is down on
Speaker 3: the fastball, slider the effectiveness the whiff rate down completely.
Speaker 2: Also looks like maybe the.
Speaker 3: Spotting of some of the pitches is a little bit concerning.
Speaker 3: Can't hit the top of the zone. The corners are
Speaker 3: kind of a mess, you know, the command has been everywhere.
Speaker 3: He just doesn't have that same swing and miss in
Speaker 3: his game. Now, does that mean it's gonna all go awry?
Speaker 3: Not necessarily, But this is one of those cases, at
Speaker 3: least I believe where this is just a pitcher that
Speaker 3: was on the top end, you know, one, two, three,
Speaker 3: that's gonna come back down and probably be like a
Speaker 3: lower ten to fifteen, you know, probably in the back
Speaker 3: end of a SP one to an SB two if
Speaker 3: these things can get right. And that's the question is like,
Speaker 3: will these things get right? I'm very concerned with the
Speaker 3: k percentages going down as much as they are, But
Speaker 3: the things you can look to, it's not like he's
Speaker 3: getting hit insanely hard. And it's also not like there's dramatic,
Speaker 3: dramatic vlow drop. So he went from around ninety five
Speaker 3: to ninety four, you know, so it is a mile
Speaker 3: per hour, but that's in the fastball. We can still
Speaker 3: work with that slider. Slider went from eighty nine down
Speaker 3: to eighty eight.
Speaker 2: That's a little bit of a problem.
Speaker 3: So there this.
Speaker 1: It's an hour on both of those the reason for
Speaker 1: a four era or do you think this is a
Speaker 1: case of a guy who was just getting less weed,
Speaker 1: was getting less wisps? But I'm I'm wondering. You know,
Speaker 1: in this offseason, there was so much drama with him
Speaker 1: and the Brewers, right the whole arbitration thing and the
Speaker 1: contract stuff coming up, and it just seems like a
Speaker 1: lot of bad blood. Do you think this is just
Speaker 1: chirely an emotional thing where this guy just doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be there anymore.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean this also kind of has to do
Speaker 3: with what we talked about yesterday, what you said with
Speaker 3: the contracts.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah you want I mean, you know, it's
Speaker 1: one thing to want to be paid, and ither thing
Speaker 1: when another team kind of bashes you publicly that you
Speaker 1: basically carried on your back for the last three seasons.
Speaker 3: I mean, I worked pretty well off of anger, so
Speaker 3: I imagine he kind of seems like the same thing.
Speaker 3: I feel like anger can fuel him here. But this
Speaker 3: is what I was going to say real quick with
Speaker 3: Burns is and I've said this word a whole lot,
Speaker 3: and I apologize, but there's different ways for it. This
Speaker 3: is kind of like a dead zone type of thing again,
Speaker 3: where it's like, is he really this guy which has
Speaker 3: changed the tears of value in him? So what can
Speaker 3: you really get? I think the only type of trades
Speaker 3: you can do with a guy like Corbyn burn is
Speaker 3: like a two for one where you're buying in on
Speaker 3: lower names and you're letting someone feel like they might
Speaker 3: be buying the rebreak back in of Corbyn Burns. I'm
Speaker 3: just not sure it's gonna go. I think he can
Speaker 3: stabilize and he can be like a really high end
Speaker 3: SB two between like you know, SP ten and fifteen.
Speaker 3: But I just don't think we're gonna get the top
Speaker 3: end guy I said it's like a month ago. I
Speaker 3: think a guy like Zach Allen is gonna end up
Speaker 3: being more valuable than Oh.
Speaker 1: I think that's one hundred percent. I think we could
Speaker 1: all say that. I'll tell you what if somebody gave
Speaker 1: you Manoa and Woodroff for Corbyn Burns.
Speaker 3: Would you say, no, it's not the guy, that's not
Speaker 3: the guy.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I think I think it's got to be something like well,
Speaker 3: That's why I.
Speaker 1: Said, woof Woodroff is that lightning in a bottle if
Speaker 1: he's healthy, ooh man, that could.
Speaker 3: Be yeah, but it's not gonna be SP's like you're
Speaker 3: gonna have to get like one sp and a hitter.
Speaker 3: That's how I think this trade works. It's almost like this,
Speaker 3: this is name the pop up in my head and
Speaker 3: it's not the best one, but like Bryce miller'd be
Speaker 3: like Bryce Miller and then a bigger hitter and that
Speaker 3: would be the type of trade. Or you know, maybe
Speaker 3: it's a Uri, Maybe it's one of those young arms.
Speaker 1: The problem with Jury Perez is how many innings do
Speaker 1: you have in that tank? See that? I think that's
Speaker 1: the problem with guys like Miller and Perez when you're
Speaker 1: looking to get with these younger pictures, you know, the
Speaker 1: sexy young pictures who are doing so well. What does
Speaker 1: that look like in August and September, especially for in
Speaker 1: leagues you have playoffs. I think that's a really big
Speaker 1: philosophical question here. It comes to Corbyn Burns, but I
Speaker 1: think Welsh is right. You know, if you're going to
Speaker 1: sell them off, you've got to get two really quality pieces,
Speaker 1: and one of them has to be a picture there,
Speaker 1: and if it could make your team better overall, then
Speaker 1: I think you do it. But otherwise you might just
Speaker 1: kind of be stuck in hoping that things go in
Speaker 1: a different trajectory. But it's a really interesting question here
Speaker 1: for him. Also is a fun one from John V.
Speaker 1: Welsh made me believe in Taylor Ward and then a
Speaker 1: couple comments later, I should have listened.
Speaker 3: To Joe, that was, or maybe not listen at all.
Speaker 1: You do that too, Oh, you do feed on anger.
Speaker 1: You're right, you're an angry, angry man. I love that.
Speaker 3: No, you know what, Actually, you should listen to Joe.
Speaker 3: You should only listen to Joe.
Speaker 1: I agree. No, you just definitely not only listen to Joe.
Speaker 2: Only listen to Joe.
Speaker 3: But tail, let me talk to Joe too.
Speaker 2: Let's in there.
Speaker 1: Let's do a Taylor Ward uh temperature check twenty seven
Speaker 1: temperature check is three to zero three, a three twenty
Speaker 1: slugging and a six twenty two ops. Look. Listen to
Speaker 1: Welsh when it comes to pitching, for sure, But when
Speaker 1: it comes to hitters with holes in their swings and issues,
Speaker 1: I'm tell here right now, you can see it a
Speaker 1: mile away on certain guys. They're just not that good.
Speaker 1: Taylor Ward is not that good. I'm telling you all right,
Speaker 1: it's not that good. All right, let's talk about Bobby Witt,
Speaker 1: who hasn't been good either. So this is our big
Speaker 1: sit down, these two big time guys who were, you know,
Speaker 1: second third round picks in most drafts. Now, Bobby Whitt
Speaker 1: was dropped down to the sixth spot yesterday. He is
Speaker 1: slashing right now twenty six, two sixty seven with a
Speaker 1: four to ten slugging. So the power's been there a
Speaker 1: little bit. Stone bases have been sporadic, and he's up
Speaker 1: to two hundred and six plate appearances. Now, he has
Speaker 1: the thirteen steals, he's got some pops, so you know,
Speaker 1: in those season long rolal leagues you're still just kind
Speaker 1: of whatever. It's the head to head formats where you're
Speaker 1: looking at the head to head road, the head to
Speaker 1: head points where Bobby Wit has been a bit of
Speaker 1: a struggle bus. So in that sense, now again as
Speaker 1: the younger player, certainly you can say that he doesn't
Speaker 1: have the greatest pieces around him in terms of line
Speaker 1: of protection. So what do you make of this dropping
Speaker 1: in the batting word? Do you think this is just
Speaker 1: a blip on the radar, or should we be worried
Speaker 1: at all about Bobby Witt rest of season two where
Speaker 1: this is a you know, people starting to adjust to
Speaker 1: him and him not adjusting quick enough.
Speaker 3: Back listen, like you could should always be worried about
Speaker 3: these things, but it's it's how what type of reaction
Speaker 3: do you make? Do you go out and sell a
Speaker 3: guy like Julia Rodriguez for pennies on the dollar because
Speaker 3: he gets moved down to six or where he's hitting.
Speaker 3: Do you go off and sell a guy like Bobby
Speaker 3: Wit because there are some early struggles for pennies on
Speaker 3: the dollar. No, the counting stats I think have still
Speaker 3: looked solid. Seven homers, thirteen stolen bases. Guess what it's like,
Speaker 3: the exact same counting stat numbers as Corbyn Carroll, just
Speaker 3: without the batting average right now. The strikeout percentage is
Speaker 3: the same, the walk percentage essentially the same. He has
Speaker 3: a pretty low babbit I guess he's run a low
Speaker 3: babbop in the major so far, but that's still around
Speaker 3: thirty points lower than where he's usually at. His hard
Speaker 3: hit is up, his barrel is up, I mean, his
Speaker 3: average EV is up.
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of bad luck that's involved
Speaker 2: in it.
Speaker 3: I would say that maybe he's even a kind.
Speaker 2: Of by candidate.
Speaker 3: I believe in the tools of these guys. That's the
Speaker 3: That's the tough thing about fantasy. That's a tough thing
Speaker 3: about this is like, you've got these guys with these
Speaker 3: massive tools that they when they catch fire, they're going
Speaker 3: to make you regret making any move off of one
Speaker 3: of these guys. And the best thing you can probably
Speaker 3: try to do is say, is the floor still with
Speaker 3: this guy? And I think a guy like Bobby Witt
Speaker 3: has shown the floor is still there even in struggles.
Speaker 3: He's getting you homers, he's getting a batting average, he's
Speaker 3: getting you runs. He's not getting you RBI, which kind
Speaker 3: of stink. But what happens if he takes all these
Speaker 3: positive things, these barrels, the hard hit going up, and
Speaker 3: then he starts finding some rhythm into a sophomore year, Well,
Speaker 3: then you're going to get the Bobby Wit that we
Speaker 3: remembered last year. So I don't worry about like moving
Speaker 3: around in the lineup. I just worry about consistency. And
Speaker 3: both Julio and Bobby have kind of struggled with that,
Speaker 3: but they're still putting up big stats and they won't
Speaker 3: be given up on.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. If you go back and look,
Speaker 1: you know, OBP was not his strong suit last year too.
Speaker 1: He's at you know, two ninety four last year. He's
Speaker 1: not an OBP guy. That's something he's got to fix.
Speaker 1: He's got to start to make a little bit more contact. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's eleven walks in the year, forty six strikeouts already
Speaker 1: last year at one hundred and thirty five strikeouts one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty games, so he's on pace to eclipse
Speaker 1: that number by a good margin already. But you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sybou Bobby would either. I think Bobby
Speaker 1: Wood is still one of those players though. For me,
Speaker 1: if you play in those points leagues where the strikeouts
Speaker 1: hurt you, Bobby Wick can undo a lot of the
Speaker 1: good that he does. And in those head to head
Speaker 1: roto leagues you grin and Barrett you take the bad
Speaker 1: average because of the stolen bases. But now that stolen
Speaker 1: bases have kind of evolved with the new rules changes,
Speaker 1: I don't know about twenty twenty four. If you have
Speaker 1: to do that anymore to yourself. I think that's that's.
Speaker 2: What chase stolen bases.
Speaker 1: No deal with guys who kill you in batting average
Speaker 1: just to get the stolen bases. Now, I know he's
Speaker 1: got power too, But philosopha bas gonna be very interesting
Speaker 1: when we step back and we look at one hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty two games, sample size of the guys and
Speaker 1: the stolen bases, and what's going on here, what's going
Speaker 1: to happen, you know, in twenty twenty four, and how
Speaker 1: are we going to value certain guys. I think this
Speaker 1: would be a very interesting conversation to have. All right,
Speaker 1: let's do a little rookie lookie, which is funny because
Speaker 1: it kind of ties into Taylor Ward a little bit.
Speaker 1: Mickey Moniac moniac. He's a Moonia moniac on the floor
Speaker 1: two for four and slugg to go ahead Homer yesterday,
Speaker 1: So he is going to play So rest of season?
Speaker 1: Who would you rather have? Taylor Ward or Mickey Moniac?
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's a tough one.
Speaker 3: Mickey. I've been kind of dismissive of Mickey Moniac and
Speaker 3: he does. Look at former number one on Nicky.
Speaker 1: Has the fines to fine. You blow my mind. Hey, Mickey, Hey, Mickey,
Speaker 1: you know Mickey Moniacs. The answer is probably get help killer.
Speaker 3: Well, no, that's fine, you know, it's probably not Taylor Ward.
Speaker 3: I think it might still be like but here's the deal, though,
Speaker 3: I think these guys are gonna like flip around and stuff.
Speaker 3: I'm fine, you could dump Taylor Award right now. But
Speaker 3: what I'm telling you is I think Taylor Ward will
Speaker 3: balance back at some point. But who would I rather
Speaker 3: own today? I'd rather own Mickey moniac absolutely rather own.
Speaker 3: I'm also not the type of person you guys. You
Speaker 3: guys are so weird with this sometimes, Like if a
Speaker 3: guy stinks and there's someone good on the wire, I
Speaker 3: will make those moves. But that doesn't also mean that
Speaker 3: I don't think a guy that is stinking right now
Speaker 3: can't get better. And I think I think Taylor Ward
Speaker 3: is a better player than I don't even even like
Speaker 3: Taylor Ward that much.
Speaker 1: I don't show you love Taylor Ward. You want to
Speaker 1: have like a Taylor you did love new Bar. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Lars new Bar is definitely you're your dude. But it
Speaker 1: was an interesting conversation to have because you know, we've
Speaker 1: seen many of these rookies come up all the success
Speaker 1: that some of them have had here in you know,
Speaker 1: the first eight weeks of the season or so. Seven
Speaker 1: hitters by the way, who have improved big time in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. I want to take your temperature on
Speaker 1: these guys too and get your thoughts on it, because
Speaker 1: this was a fun piece on MLB dot com. But
Speaker 1: I saw so Yonaheim a huge difference maker. I just
Speaker 1: want to say, let's play a game. Do you believe
Speaker 1: in the change or do you think it's an illusion?
Speaker 1: Change or illusion?
Speaker 3: I believe go with change.
Speaker 2: No believe here. I believe Jahim is doing okay.
Speaker 1: Joey Gallo who has raised his EXWOBA seventy three points,
Speaker 1: So do you believe when he changes? Joey gallow No,
Speaker 1: I don't ever, I don't need Joey. I agree. So
Speaker 1: we're both two for two here. Patrick Wisdom, another guy
Speaker 1: who has you know, certainly came out like Gangbusters. He
Speaker 1: had incredible run there. Do you think that Patrick Wisdom?
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's a tough one because I
Speaker 1: think Patrick Wisdom is just showing you the same guy
Speaker 1: who was last year basically, and there will be ups
Speaker 1: and down. So I think this is a push. Do
Speaker 1: you agree?
Speaker 3: I mean I would lean probably like long term down
Speaker 3: because also you got Chris Morell that like that might
Speaker 3: end up coming to ahead of like morel versus Wisdom.
Speaker 3: So yeah, if we can push, sure, let's.
Speaker 1: Push all right. Next one here, Austin Hayes is on
Speaker 1: that list too. This one, I believe. Hayes is a
Speaker 1: player I've always liked. He has some injuries, with some
Speaker 1: different you know situations where you struggle at times too,
Speaker 1: but Hayes was always one of these players that every
Speaker 1: year I would take in drafts because I and I
Speaker 1: always had a lot of shares in dfs because he
Speaker 1: makes good contact. There was minor league career too. He's
Speaker 1: always like a really solid hitter. This one, I do believe.
Speaker 1: I like this player a lot. What are your thoughts
Speaker 1: on Austin Hayes and his improvement this year? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Also agree? I mean I like that outfield kind of injury.
Speaker 3: It actually kind of stinks. I kind of wish they
Speaker 3: would stink more because then we can get Colton Kowser
Speaker 3: up for the Orioles. But no, Austin Hayes hard hit
Speaker 3: percentage the highest of his career barrel percentage. He's almost
Speaker 3: tripled it this year. Not huge, big counting stats, but no,
Speaker 3: I'm a believer. I'm actually rostering him in a couple spots.
Speaker 1: Now, Elias Diaz interesting enough verse right handed pitching, hitting
Speaker 1: three sixty and only two nine off left hand of pitching,
Speaker 1: which is basically the opposite of what he did last year.
Speaker 1: So you're buying mister Diaz on the Rockies or is
Speaker 1: this just a weird start to the season for him.
Speaker 2: To me, it's weird.
Speaker 3: It's fine again, Like I don't I'm not gonna sit
Speaker 3: and just like hold some crappy catcher like I would
Speaker 3: have DS, I'd run him out and then when he
Speaker 3: starts to come back down, I would push him off.
Speaker 3: So I think this is more mirage. But you know,
Speaker 3: it's great what he's doing right now.
Speaker 1: From one Das to another. Yondi Diaz, who Yondi Diaz
Speaker 1: is another player that I always felt like, this guy
Speaker 1: should always hit for more power than he does. And
Speaker 1: you've seen the ground ball rate go from fifty to
Speaker 1: forty six. So he's starting to, you know, get that
Speaker 1: trajectory upward trying to hit balls in the air, and
Speaker 1: obviously it's it's working, you know, in terms of fantasy,
Speaker 1: it's definitely working right now. So this is a player physically.
Speaker 1: You look at him and you go, this is a big,
Speaker 1: strong guy. Why is he not hit more home runs?
Speaker 1: And now it feels like you're starting to fix that.
Speaker 1: This is another dude that I think is for real.
Speaker 1: So if somebody's trying to sell him high, I would
Speaker 1: buy high on because I do. You've seen you're seeing
Speaker 1: an adjustment that he's finally made. It took him a
Speaker 1: long time, but it's a really solid adjustment. And I
Speaker 1: think he's got all the other prototypical things you want
Speaker 1: in a power hitter. He's just never been that guy yet.
Speaker 3: This is my favorite of the list. Yeah, No, one
Speaker 3: hundred thousand percent agree on this one. The Yandi has
Speaker 3: pushed himself into like a completely different trajectory and he's
Speaker 3: gonna like stabilize a tiny bit more. But I mean,
Speaker 3: three four five almost a three four to six slash
Speaker 3: this year, insanely good hard hit numbers in the ball
Speaker 3: a barrel percentage again, it's like two and a half
Speaker 3: times over, so very very much on YONDI.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the injury list here Logan
Speaker 1: Webb clear to make his next start on Thursday. We're
Speaker 1: a little iffy because of the back issue, but that's okay.
Speaker 1: Byron Bucks had also okay, so he was in the lineup.
Speaker 1: Look at that crazy Listen to this. Tyler Glass now
Speaker 1: is okay? All these weird things coming out of my
Speaker 1: mouth here, I can't even believe this. He is going
Speaker 1: to make his debut on Saturday, So it's against the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw Tyler Glass now out there against the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it. I don't know how you feel
Speaker 1: about it, Welsh, but if you yes, if you got him,
Speaker 1: smoke him. This is kind of the same thing. If
Speaker 1: you got him, start them. That's how I feel about.
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. Agree Glass. Now we get him out there,
Speaker 3: I'm I would love for this might.
Speaker 1: Be the only start you get out of him.
Speaker 3: You got it might be. I'd love to know. I'd
Speaker 3: like them to tell us, like how many innings. If
Speaker 3: they said like sixty pitches or innings sixty pitches, I
Speaker 3: might feel a little bit, eh, but seventy five.
Speaker 2: Eighty I don't. I'm not worried about him going up
Speaker 2: against the Dodgers, all.
Speaker 1: Right, next one on the list here, Jose Alvarado through
Speaker 1: from flat ground, so keep it on that elbow of his.
Speaker 1: Jacob de Gram through thirty two hole pitches in a
Speaker 1: bullpen session. Bruce Bochi told everybody that went really well.
Speaker 1: That's great. He says he feels good. That's great. But
Speaker 1: how do he feel? That's what I care about. I
Speaker 1: tweeted that today. I saw Mike Mayer and the team
Speaker 1: at the Fantasy pros news desk tweeted this out and
Speaker 1: I said, that's great, he feels good, But I don't
Speaker 1: know how all of us feel. I care about how
Speaker 1: we feel when it comes.
Speaker 3: To how emotional state is or emotional health around. Jacob
Speaker 3: de Gram may be pitching at some point at the
Speaker 3: point this season. I mean, I'm fine, I'm I'm good.
Speaker 3: I wanted to get back out there. I'd love to
Speaker 3: stop talking.
Speaker 1: Wonky's crushing it leg at Wonky right here. Jacob Gram's
Speaker 1: autobiography is called bullpen session went well, Oh Wonky, Yeah, Perfection. Also,
Speaker 1: Andre's Munio's shoulders progressing towards what we hope to be
Speaker 1: activated before the next road trip, so before June. Hopefully
Speaker 1: we're gonna get Andre's Munio's back. That would be great.
Speaker 1: It's been way too long to wait for him. Not great,
Speaker 1: just to shout out. He had a Hunter Dozer who
Speaker 1: got designated for assignment, you know, just a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago, a Hunter dos It was like a nice
Speaker 1: little you know, fantasy plug and play corner guy. And
Speaker 1: then it's just kind of falling off the map here.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what went wrong here for Hunter Doser,
Speaker 1: but this kind of makes me sad Welsh. I saw
Speaker 1: this news and I was sad. I was bummed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think about this.
Speaker 3: You can give him a call and text him and
Speaker 3: be like, hey, b ask him.
Speaker 2: How are you feeling, how are you feeling?
Speaker 1: How are you doing good? Do you know what?
Speaker 3: Nice guy?
Speaker 2: Nice Kate, Joe.
Speaker 3: You should call him up. You should call everybody up.
Speaker 3: You should call the chat up. You give them all
Speaker 3: your phone number. You should have chats as you have
Speaker 3: a hundred dozer little circle group and you guys can
Speaker 3: talk about him and you can a little circle circle.
Speaker 1: Whatever you want. Yeah, that won't happen. Three up, three down.
Speaker 1: Luis Castillo was really good again. Eight strikeouts and six
Speaker 1: shut out innings. Yes, it was against the A's, But
Speaker 1: we told you yesterday in DFS, like there's Castillo, there's
Speaker 1: the A's. Just don't overthink it. Sometimes baseball is easy,
Speaker 1: just don't overthink it. So hopefully you listen yesterday and
Speaker 1: made that DFS move. Remember DFS, you're looking for win,
Speaker 1: six strikeouts, six innings, quality start. Can you get all
Speaker 1: those things? Can you get two n runs less? That's
Speaker 1: gonna get you a nice big like thirty eight to
Speaker 1: forty points or your pitcher boom. You're good and you're
Speaker 1: already starting off in a good spot. Mister Alvarez for
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros three for five, not one but two homers,
Speaker 1: including a granny yesterday and Christian Hovey are in that
Speaker 1: same game. Six innings, five case you got a W.
Speaker 1: Continues to be great. One earned run, three down Charlie Morton.
Speaker 1: Remember we talked about the the underlying metrics with Charlie
Speaker 1: Morton not being good. I wrote about it on Fantasypros
Speaker 1: dot com. I think it was two weeks ago. He
Speaker 1: was my cell high. Here we go, it's time to
Speaker 1: pay the fiddler. Two home runs Gavin Stone, Welsh's favorite guy.
Speaker 1: Four innings, five earned runs and Nick Cassiano's zero for
Speaker 1: five with three k's, which brings us to one of
Speaker 1: our favorite moments here. Because we love to do it,
Speaker 1: Let's pick some prizes Prize Picks. Download the app or

Speaker 1: Get it done, Welsh, will we picking for prizes today?
Speaker 3: We'll try to turn it around. Yesterday Yesterday was a day.
Speaker 3: It was just today today, all the way around, all
Speaker 3: the way around. So today we're gonna start off with
Speaker 3: ury Press strikeouts. I saw in the chat a couple
Speaker 3: of people saying, hey, sit Uri Pres in Colorado.
Speaker 1: You can I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm rolling Uri out in everything.
Speaker 1: Colorado sucks.
Speaker 3: There you go it, Colorado stinks. It's in Colorado.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 3: But I think eury Press is really good. And that's
Speaker 3: why I remember. I was like, hey, we're gonna say
Speaker 3: goodbye to the four and a half strikeout number. Well,
Speaker 3: not quite yet, because he's in Colorado and everybody is.
Speaker 2: A little scared.
Speaker 3: So ury Perez strikeouts are only four on price pick,
Speaker 3: so I am going to take the over. I'm also
Speaker 3: going to take the no run first inning the nurfee
Speaker 3: as it is with Darvish and McKenzie Gore, Mackenzie Gore
Speaker 3: getting to play his old team. I'm going to take the
Speaker 3: under on the no run, so no runs to be
Speaker 3: scored in the first inning between those two and Randy
Speaker 3: Arose raina fantasy score seven and a half over, So
Speaker 3: I guess that's like a positive sandwich today. Two overs,
Speaker 3: sandwiching and under.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the betting stuff, because again
Speaker 1: for me, it's a little it'll like today of the betting.
Speaker 1: I'm with you on the ury Perez K four and
Speaker 1: a half. That number isn't over taking that one, and
Speaker 1: I'm also taking Texas on the money line. This is
Speaker 1: a six thirty start, I think today a little earlier,
Speaker 1: it's minus one sixty. But I think if you put
Speaker 1: that along with one of the other heavy duty favorites,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot like the Yankees are heavy favorites today,
Speaker 1: there's another big I think it's Houston's a big heavy favorite, Tae.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of big heavy favorites on the board.
Speaker 1: You can put three of these together in a little parlay.
Speaker 1: Get that bad boy done well. From the betting standpoint,
Speaker 1: what do you have for the people today?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Texas broke miney at a lot of heartbreak yesterday.
Speaker 3: If we're being honest, we got Bailey Oberd just heartbreak.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did. You know that was disappointing. That was disappointed.
Speaker 1: We were all in and we said it was. It
Speaker 1: was one of those days where, I mean, it all
Speaker 1: makes sense to be in yesterday on everything daily ober
Speaker 1: that's baseball sometimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's baseball.
Speaker 3: I mean in Texas was you know, Luis Ortiz went
Speaker 3: like seven looked he looked like a freakin' ace against them.
Speaker 3: But today, so Uri Perez is plus money at four
Speaker 3: and a half strikeouts. It's not always gonna work out,
Speaker 3: but guess what it has so far, and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: play that again against Colorado. They're like middle of the
Speaker 3: pack in strikeouts, but four and a half is something
Speaker 3: that Ury Perez. He's reached the five strike up marker
Speaker 3: in the first three innings in his first two starts.
Speaker 3: So plus money at one point fifteen, Uh huh, I'm
Speaker 3: taking it. I do have a team total runs. I'm
Speaker 3: taking Saint Louis team to runs two and a half
Speaker 3: through the first five innings, it's minus one twenty five.
Speaker 3: I very much like that today, and going back to
Speaker 3: Randy roserain a total bases are one and a half
Speaker 3: at plus one fifty. I don't do the total bases
Speaker 3: a lot. I'm admittedly not great at them. But it's
Speaker 3: plus one fifty on a Randy Roseorina today, So I
Speaker 3: love that one. So I am putting that in the stack.
Speaker 1: There you go. Here's a good question from Doubi Wah
Speaker 1: for twenty it's nice, you know, it's funny. There's multiple
Speaker 1: screen nineteen watched the show we have to do.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's that for twenty.
Speaker 1: To do it smoking the marriage uana as it will.
Speaker 1: So I guess that's our target audience, just saying maybe
Speaker 1: we should have some sort of CBD sponsor in the
Speaker 1: show or something to that effect. Here's a great question.
Speaker 1: I got this one on Twitter too, Jordan Walker or
Speaker 1: Cees gotta drop one of them? Make some roster room.
Speaker 1: Who do you have to drop right now? This is
Speaker 1: a top dude. This is a hard one for me.
Speaker 1: I think I'm Droppinges because I'm worried about the path
Speaker 1: of when he comes up. I think Walker will be
Speaker 1: back sooner than later. I do, but maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 3: I think I drop Walker for Cees right now, only
Speaker 3: in Redraft, not in Dynasty.
Speaker 2: I'm not changing Obe.
Speaker 1: This is the conversation.
Speaker 3: Yes, the only reason behind that is like Walker has stunk.
Speaker 3: There is kind of a there's a block because of
Speaker 3: so many different bats and there's so much turn turnover
Speaker 3: offensively that they can end up putting out that. I
Speaker 3: do think that Walker's a little stuck right now, and
Speaker 3: I'm not sure it's gonna be like within the next month,
Speaker 3: which I'm just stupidly just like every day, I'm like
Speaker 3: CES is coming up, CS coming up. I don't think
Speaker 3: there's an actual block. I know you're saying that. I
Speaker 3: don't think there's an actual block with Cincinnati. Henry Ramos
Speaker 3: is not going to block Cees when they're ready to
Speaker 3: make that move. So I believe CS will be up
Speaker 3: before Jordan Walker. If Jordan Walker fixes and finds out
Speaker 3: what the problem is in the minors, he has bigger
Speaker 3: upside than Cees for sure.
Speaker 1: All Right, let's also acknowledge a new Peanut and cracker
Speaker 1: Jack here. I hope I'm saying this is it tes DECI.

Speaker 1: on there. All you have peanuts and cracker jacks. Let's
Speaker 1: go Welsh. In terms of DFS today, Garrett Cole eleven
Speaker 1: point one, top of the board. I prefer him over
Speaker 1: Strider today just because of the matchup. I just think
Speaker 1: Cole is in a better situation here. You Darvas at
Speaker 1: ten point four against the Nats. I'm crossing my fingers
Speaker 1: here that San Diego start to turn things around because
Speaker 1: they've been terrible. But I think, you know, it's kind
Speaker 1: of a sliding scale of pitchers today. I know Strider's
Speaker 1: out there too, but he's going against the Dodgers, and
Speaker 1: that's always a weird one to me. There's more outcome possibility,
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna be highly rostered. But Cole,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna spend up, that's the way I go.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go down the board a little bit.
Speaker 1: Sunny Gray at ten point two. I like him a lot.
Speaker 1: It's a good matchup for him. Again. You want to
Speaker 1: go really crazy here, let's go cheap Uri Perez in Colorado.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna be rostered a bit. I
Speaker 1: really don't people gonna see Colorado and saying, eh, I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna attempt that with a rookie kid. I am.
Speaker 1: I think it's great. I think it's perfect, especially on
Speaker 1: the night when there's so many big time names, because
Speaker 1: it allows you to get up in the offensive ranks
Speaker 1: and get some really better offensive players. JP France is
Speaker 1: even cheaper though, at seven point five, So make that investment. Yankees,
Speaker 1: Astros Atlanta JP France at seven to five. You can
Speaker 1: basically get whatever you want you can put. You can
Speaker 1: have a lineup of all star bats and get JP
Speaker 1: France at seven point five and try that. And if
Speaker 1: you want to move up and have a Perez lineup too,
Speaker 1: just in case perezas like seven strikeouts or eighty strikeouts,
Speaker 1: even if it just goes five innings, he gets you
Speaker 1: eight strikeouts against Colorado, I think you could do that.
Speaker 1: Chas McCormick is cheap today. Mark Vientos is cheap if
Speaker 1: he's in the lineup. Interesting Cassis is cheap if he's
Speaker 1: in the lineup two. I'm keeping this simple for my
Speaker 1: home run call today because I have learned my lesson
Speaker 1: about when Aaron Judge faces the Baltimore Orioles. Aaron Judge
Speaker 1: is the home run pick, so I'm going to Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1: There's the board Primetime getting awful close to twenty, sitting
Speaker 1: at eighteen BHB Daddy at seventeen. I got a bunch
Speaker 1: of people tied at sixteen again. Fantasypros dot Com slash
Speaker 1: Chat Join the discord, go premium when you do, and
Speaker 1: then you can go make home run calls. Fantasypros dot
Speaker 1: Com slash Premium. I'm going boring today because I need
Speaker 1: a home run in the worst way with Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1: But look I need at least three or four from
Speaker 1: him today to get back in this time. Where are
Speaker 1: you going?
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I had to play a couple boring spot.
Speaker 3: I mean Aaron. Of my thirteen homers, I think Aaron
Speaker 3: Judge has like three of them, three or four of them.
Speaker 3: So that's where it goes. You know, no shocker to anybody.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stick with my boy, Randy Rosereina. I picked
Speaker 3: him on some other stuff here. We're just gonna go
Speaker 3: full throttle. Whether it is Betts Prize picks or home
Speaker 3: run call, We're gonna go make it a Randy a
Speaker 3: Rose Arrain a day for my home run call.
Speaker 1: All right, so I got mister DESI corrected me. It's
Speaker 1: pronounced Tajis, which is really cool. Actually, Tajis is a
Speaker 1: much cooler name than Joe. I just want to say, so,
Speaker 1: you're winning life, Tachi's you're winning life. We appreciate you
Speaker 1: being part of our Peanuts and Cracker Jacks again. Go
Speaker 1: make your home run calls, Go enjoy your baseball. Go
