Speaker 1: you know, all kinds of exciting things like that. I
Speaker 1: am working very hard to get an X plug shirt
Speaker 1: made up because of yesterday's moment in the show. I
Speaker 1: think it's a sign and we need to run with it. Welsh,
Speaker 1: what do you think?
Speaker 2: What's the design? But what are we talking about here?
Speaker 2: What are we thinking of?

Speaker 1: also pushing for the hashtag Welshism shirt because that's a
Speaker 1: shirt that I just personally want. I just want that shirt.
Speaker 1: But if you.
Speaker 2: Decided, are we going to put Welshism's on there or.
Speaker 1: I don't know how, I don't know how much it
Speaker 1: costs to get them. I'm I would love to put
Speaker 1: a list of them to tell you the truth, and
Speaker 1: I think that would be We are so close, by
Speaker 1: the way, we are so close to fourteen thousand subs

Speaker 2: Our City contestant in Vladimir g Junior officially announced.
Speaker 1: And I heard Mookie Betts is going to partake it
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 2: I may not just have seen that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I saw Dicey this morning on any news that i've
Speaker 2: You guys are.
Speaker 1: Waiting to see if they're named to the team because
Speaker 1: nobody wants to travel. Like if you're there, you're like,
Speaker 1: I'll do the All Star Game, I'll do the home
Speaker 1: run Derby, I'll do everything, but traveling just for the Derby.
Speaker 1: I think that's the hard cell.
Speaker 2: I still think Ellie de la Cruz, you gotta put
Speaker 2: him in that thing. You put him in that thing
Speaker 2: for those big evs. He's not going to be at
Speaker 2: the All Star Game, but put him in that contest, please.
Speaker 2: But I know they're going to focus on the guys
Speaker 2: that are actually, you know, in the game, in the game.
Speaker 1: In the game. It's in the game, folks, it's in
Speaker 1: the game. Let's talk about some of the things from
Speaker 1: the game. Yesterday, good day for prize picking. Yesterday, I
Speaker 1: had Lozardo and Bellow combined ks. I had Lozardo Fantasy
Speaker 1: points and Kyle Tucker over on Fantasy Points. Ring the
Speaker 1: bell baby cash?
Speaker 2: Did you ring that ding ding da?
Speaker 1: I can't cash because I'm in New Jersey. Well, nobody,
Speaker 1: I helped somebody cash. But it was a good day.
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker three run bomb, good times there. The Cardinals
Speaker 1: continue to be the Cardinal. I mean, Yike's fourteen nothing yesterday.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the end is for Adam Waynwright.
Speaker 1: It's here. A great career. I don't think a Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame career, but a great one, fun guy in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, good dude, big fantasy football guy. Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll try to get him on the show when he's retired.
Speaker 1: But I think it's over. I think this is the
Speaker 1: end of the line for Wayne Right. I think it's over.
Speaker 1: Cardinals are over. They should be sellers at the deadline. LAZARDA,
Speaker 1: let's talk about him. Welsh six and a third scoreless innings.
Speaker 1: He had nine strikeouts, one walk. LOZARDA was kind of
Speaker 1: this guy that if he invested in him this year,
Speaker 1: you had all the reason to believe that he could
Speaker 1: kind of finally have that big breakout season. You saw
Speaker 1: a lot of it last year. There's been so much negativity,
Speaker 1: so many injuries to deal with. It's been a long wait.
Speaker 1: It's been it's been a five year wait for Lozardo,
Speaker 1: going back to the A's years for him to really
Speaker 1: become the picture that he's emerging as now. So are
Speaker 1: you surprised that it's finally happened or are you just
Speaker 1: happy it's finally happened at this.
Speaker 2: Well, actually, I'm surprised from a if you going back
Speaker 2: and look in the last like ten years, of the
Speaker 2: guys that you know, us as prospect people have put
Speaker 2: as the top pitchers, they fail. Alex Reyes doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 2: Mackenzie Gore actually just starting to kind of break through.
Speaker 2: So it's been kind of a rough run. But I'm
Speaker 2: not actually surprised from the talent this game, by the way,
Speaker 2: nineteen swing and whiffs only four on the fastball, his
Speaker 2: slider had a sixty three percent whiff rate. He had
Speaker 2: twelve of nineteen swings being whiffs, which is bonkers. Thirty
Speaker 2: three percent whiff rate, thirty percent CSW rate and a
Speaker 2: forty eight csw on his slider. That's been the thing
Speaker 2: I've always loved Lozardo and how he changed speeds and motions.
Speaker 2: The Velo uptick has been huge for him this year,
Speaker 2: and he's just moving in from like this is a
Speaker 2: solid pitcher to that upper tier to the you know,
Speaker 2: he's not into the elite of e leader or anything
Speaker 2: like that. But this is a guy that's gonna close
Speaker 2: you Lozardo. Lozardo could resemble an SP two on your team.
Speaker 2: I mean he's kind of performed at that level, but
Speaker 2: he can resemble that pretty solid SP four to three
Speaker 2: for people to have. And you know, wisk keep going.
Speaker 2: He keeps looking really good. Time for those Marlins to
Speaker 2: turn it around. Little side note, I just don't think
Speaker 2: I realized how bad the Cardinals from a standings perspective.
Speaker 2: I don't pay attention to records a whole bunch and
Speaker 2: very focused like player focus and everything that their last
Speaker 2: in the central. Just trying to throw this out real
Speaker 2: quick is mind boggling. Under the Cubs, they're the last
Speaker 2: in the central, right, they should trade off, But.
Speaker 1: I mean that's it. And the Mets are seventeen and
Speaker 1: a half games out, like so, look, it's just over
Speaker 1: for some of you. You know, it's time to have
Speaker 1: the hard conversations with some of these teams. The Cardinals
Speaker 1: and the Mets had expectations. These were teams we thought
Speaker 1: were going to contend for the Divisions and possibly World Series,
Speaker 1: and they are not going to do.
Speaker 2: Which do you think bends or breaks, I guess would
Speaker 2: be the better way to say it. First, it's the
Speaker 2: Mets or the Cardinals or I'm throwing the was it
Speaker 2: the White Sox in this too? The White Sox?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the white Socks I think a lot more
Speaker 1: failure potential built in. I don't think anybody looked at
Speaker 1: the White Sox as a safe investment. I think people
Speaker 1: will look at the White Soxes, this should get better,
Speaker 1: right right, it should get better. Where they looked at
Speaker 1: the Cardinals looked at the Mets is like this is
Speaker 1: gonna be good. I think that's that's a totally different
Speaker 1: perspective on those teams. I think that the Mets were smart.
Speaker 1: They blink because they have the best pieces to move,
Speaker 1: because they.
Speaker 2: Have hardinal Scotts threemium to move. Though, now you know
Speaker 2: what actually might disagree.
Speaker 1: I think, who's the picture on the Cardinals? You're gonna move.
Speaker 1: That's gonna make a difference in the playoffs. I got Verlander,
Speaker 1: I got Schures, or I got Oh. I'm talking about the.
Speaker 2: Total impact of trades, like what the what a team
Speaker 2: can get back. The Cardinals have a bevy of players,
Speaker 2: but the.
Speaker 1: Shoulder thing right now, I just heard that news this
Speaker 1: morning when I woke up. That's not fun to hear.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, right now, there's the Cardinals don't
Speaker 1: have the pitching soign I'm not saying they don't have
Speaker 1: good pieces to move. I'm just saying, you want to
Speaker 1: talk about playoffs, now you're talking about impact starting pitcher.
Speaker 1: I think that's the big difference here.
Speaker 2: The problem with the I was actually looking at this
Speaker 2: badman and I just did this and this funny. David
Speaker 2: just said this in the chat. I didn't do this
Speaker 2: when we talked about trading Schuurser the other day because
Speaker 2: I just don't want everyone to roll their eyes every
Speaker 2: time and talk about the Diamondbacks. But we're looking at
Speaker 2: Shuser because it does make a lot of sense. He
Speaker 2: was a Diamondback. They're competing he kind of maybe in
Speaker 2: his career, but Suresier's gonna be tough. I think when
Speaker 2: Suzier is traded, I think he is gonna get traded.
Speaker 2: It's gonna disappoint you and a lot of other people.
Speaker 2: Because he's owed forty three million dollars this year. So
Speaker 2: if you want to backlog it, maybe it's fifteen million.
Speaker 2: The rest of the year and forty three million dollars
Speaker 2: like next year. So you're talking about a thirty eight
Speaker 2: year old pitcher who has sixty million dollars left if
Speaker 2: you trade him now into next year. The Mets aren't
Speaker 2: getting anything. They're gonna have like they're not unless they
Speaker 2: pay a decent amount of the money.
Speaker 1: They're getting something.
Speaker 2: They're getting get something, but they're not gonna get.
Speaker 1: Back on the free agent Parker. Look at the Wan
Speaker 1: Soto's of the world. I mean, look, the Met's biggest
Speaker 1: problem is that giant payroll and nothing to show for it.
Speaker 1: So if you're going to reorganize and then go out
Speaker 1: there on the market again, you gotta shed some of
Speaker 1: the salary you don't need. Okay that what you're trying
Speaker 1: to do is take that forty three million dollars and
Speaker 1: put into Wan Sodo and that's a the investment.
Speaker 2: You're looking at it logically, then that's not what I meant.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, that's the problem.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm usually logical guy. In that's time.
Speaker 2: I'm saying the return for Susier isn't going to please
Speaker 2: anybody because it's sixty million dollars and it won't look good.
Speaker 2: So yes, a team like the Diamondbacks should do it,
Speaker 2: because a rotation is a disaster. Rangers, who I've said Dodger.
Speaker 1: Is a nice story right full circle? For sure, it'd
Speaker 1: be great. Yeah, I think it back to where it
Speaker 1: all started. Chris Bassett was great yesterday, twelve strikeouts career
Speaker 1: high for him, six shutout innings over the Giants. Trey
Speaker 1: Turner a little sign of life. I don't know. We're
Speaker 1: still waiting. Every time I think Trey Turner's got to
Speaker 1: pick it up and have a nice run, it kind
Speaker 1: of just paters out.
Speaker 2: Where's Turner? That's not a guy? Sometimes in fantasy, especially
Speaker 2: fantasy analysis and stuff, you just kind of blow by
Speaker 2: and don't even think about some of the big players.
Speaker 1: First round pick, is it Turner or is it Lad?
Speaker 2: I guess it's probably flat because of this.
Speaker 1: I want to hear the Peanuts and Crackerjacks Vlad or Turner.
Speaker 1: Who's the bigger disappointment? Drop it in the chat right now.
Speaker 1: I want to know what you have to say.
Speaker 2: Seventeen stolen bases for Turner, eight homers. He's only hitting
Speaker 2: two forty nine, which kind of stinks his XBA is better,
Speaker 2: but everything is kind of down his barrel in four years.
Speaker 1: W Here's what happened. All of a sudden, the premium
Speaker 1: of the tray turner stolen bases that you had to have,
Speaker 1: you didn't have to have anymore because how everybody's stealing bases.
Speaker 1: So the thing that made him so valuable is the
Speaker 1: thing now you look at and you're like, wow, seventeen sales,
Speaker 1: whatever I can mount of my eyes at that, as
Speaker 1: opposed to some of the big power guys. I mean,
Speaker 1: those are the guys right now that are returning the
Speaker 1: better value. Until Judge got heard, obviously.
Speaker 2: I agree with that, But the the big thing was
Speaker 2: the five tools. You got, all those stolen bases with
Speaker 2: a guy that could hit decent amount significant homers who
Speaker 2: hit for a high batting average run an RBI. Might
Speaker 2: be a little bit dicey. He did it last year,
Speaker 2: But back to your point, so many guys are doing it.
Speaker 2: That the that the you know, the walls are kind
Speaker 2: of closing in on that, and guys like Corby Carroll
Speaker 2: is demolishing him, and guys like Bobby Witt, even though
Speaker 2: when they're struggling, they're categorically still outperforming it's just he's
Speaker 2: not providing the cool stuff, the amazing elite stuff that
Speaker 2: you would get with those stolen bases. Now he's kind
Speaker 2: of he's solid but average. It's a solid average player
Speaker 2: that you know, eight homer, seventeen stolen bases. That's actually
Speaker 2: not insane to do in this environment.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, it seems like the chat's
Speaker 1: very much into Trey Turner being the bigger disappointment. I
Speaker 1: agree because what I said, what you drafted him for
Speaker 1: you can now get because it's not that big of
Speaker 1: it's every other team is selling it now. You know,
Speaker 1: people something.
Speaker 2: Took him one and some people took him one overall.
Speaker 1: And yeah, kun Julio, I still like Juli hadn't you know,
Speaker 1: the bad start certainly hurt him, but we'll see where
Speaker 1: everything ends up. But Acuna certainly looks like the clear
Speaker 1: cut number one if it wasn't Otani. If you're getting
Speaker 1: both players, obviously it's always Otani. Jazz Chisholm homer second
Speaker 1: straight game, So that's good for Jazz. I guess the
Speaker 1: foot issue is at least tolerable because he's had some
Speaker 1: good uh situations there. Oh yeah, and that guy that
Speaker 1: I just mentioned Shoo Tani hit another two run home
Speaker 1: run just another day in the show Heo Tani story.
Speaker 2: I saw. I saw somebody mention that at this time
Speaker 2: last year, Judge was at thirty homers and Otani's at
Speaker 2: twenty nine right now, and we are we're not in
Speaker 2: the we're not even the space of talking about how.
Speaker 1: He's if he chases sixty, like if he gets to
Speaker 1: like what if he beats it? I mean, what a
Speaker 1: crazy set of circumstances that would be.
Speaker 2: I'm here while striking out two hundred, while striking out
Speaker 2: two hundreds. I remember one's like, well, okay, but you
Speaker 2: know what Judge is doing.
Speaker 1: He's a hitter.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Otani's doing that in his sleep while
Speaker 2: striking striking out two. This is our vengines from last year,
Speaker 2: when you and I kept coming on and being like, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is great. The Judge's doing this, but it's still
Speaker 2: a Taani And then.
Speaker 1: We said it wasn't fair, and Otani's like, I got
Speaker 1: this choice, don't worry, way to go. Let's do a
Speaker 1: little rookie lookie, Emma Chihan tough assignment in Colorado, but
Speaker 1: three runs five innings, respectable, tough environment, got the W
Speaker 1: for the uh for the Los Angeles Dodgers, they are
Speaker 1: good times, not good times for Brandon fought. No Randy
Speaker 1: Rose Arena, which really pissed off Welsh right after the show.
Speaker 1: A Rose Areina not in the lineup. Welsh lost his mind.
Speaker 1: It was madness here in the slack chat.
Speaker 2: And there was a homer in the first inning and
Speaker 2: it was Luke Rayley, who, by the way, I think
Speaker 2: Luke Raley was hitting three where a Rose Arena would
Speaker 2: have hit. It was super annoying.
Speaker 1: Six runs at the end of the day. So, uh what,
Speaker 1: we're not.
Speaker 2: The fought, it's we're done with the fot There's no
Speaker 2: thing we need to do with the fought anymore. He
Speaker 2: he's done word none. It's bad. He gets on the mound,
Speaker 2: he's just sweating. Every second he's sweat. I was so
Speaker 2: mad yesterday we were live recording as that game was
Speaker 2: going on, watching him. He is so disheveled when he's
Speaker 2: up there. They what they said they were trying to
Speaker 2: do was work on him being able to move the
Speaker 2: fastball more throw it inside on hitters hands. He did
Speaker 2: that early and then he falls apart. They don't. The
Speaker 2: sweeper doesn't have enough bite, it doesn't look good enough.
Speaker 2: The fastball. Everyone keeps playing the fastball. But yeah, maybe
Speaker 2: it just didn't you know, do anything locked into him,
Speaker 2: but it's it's garbage trash. He gives up hard, hard contact,
Speaker 2: he gives up Homer's. I am completely out on Brandon Fought.
Speaker 2: You should cut him in almost every format. I I'm
Speaker 2: getting mad thinking about it again. And thank god Corby,
Speaker 2: all that mattered. I almost lost my cool completely because
Speaker 2: as Brandon Fought is just getting lit up, giving him
Speaker 2: six earned runs, Corman Carroll got taken out of the
Speaker 2: game with his shoulder injury, but.
Speaker 1: The same one he had stay on. By the way,
Speaker 1: we're yet but yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, but I mean really it could
Speaker 2: have been like a top piece of news we could
Speaker 2: have talked about because I was like anxiety ridden. It's okay, get.
Speaker 1: That talk space, you get to talk to somebody, like
Speaker 1: get online, you know, just I.
Speaker 2: Was like walking. I liked to go to that.
Speaker 1: We should do that live on the show. We should
Speaker 1: like because we could share screens, like we could get
Speaker 1: a talk space person, we could ask them, you know.
Speaker 1: I drafted trade Turner number one overall?
Speaker 2: What is that like like those online therapists would get like, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was online therapist.
Speaker 1: I just want to see what they have to say
Speaker 1: about it. It's like, this has been a really hard
Speaker 1: year for me. I took Trey Turner first. Overall, I'm
Speaker 1: eighth in the standings right now, and I'm really I'm
Speaker 1: really struggling with this.
Speaker 2: I was actually, like legitimately struggling with the Corbick Carroll stuff.
Speaker 2: My brand is very Corbick Carroll this year, so it
Speaker 2: would have been really rough.
Speaker 1: Wellow our brand, I think we've hitched that wagon toge Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, It's totally a thing here. But like it,
Speaker 2: I get tweets every day about anything he does. Uh,
Speaker 2: And I know we're jumping on this, but I want
Speaker 2: to make two points on the corby Carlstof since we're there.
Speaker 2: He says we're okay, you know, he says they did
Speaker 2: all the stress tests on it. Thank god, it's all good.
Speaker 2: But I'm still a little bit worried. And I really
Speaker 2: hope he's not in the lineup today because he talked
Speaker 2: about how he went now but he said he mentioned
Speaker 2: how kind of scared he was he had never felt
Speaker 2: that pain before and that's not something I feel super
Speaker 2: comfortable with. So I really hope they babied this into
Speaker 2: the All Star break. So he's good the rest of
Speaker 2: the way. I know anyone playing right now would hate it.
Speaker 2: But it was a serious scare. But looks like he's okay.
Speaker 1: So the wonky Penguins in the chat, but I think
Speaker 1: it's a salty penguin today, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: because when talking in the chat here about the Otani
Speaker 1: judge home run thing, the salty penguin says without using
Speaker 1: special baseballs in Yankee Stadium, that's what Otani's doing. Yikes.
Speaker 2: And then look at Wonky over here, who had seventeen
Speaker 2: minutes for Corbyn Carroll's appearance. Wonkey sayn't a good look.
Speaker 2: This is you're being very salty and angry.
Speaker 1: Really is not happen? What happened to Wonks? What's going on?
Speaker 1: Let's go the injury report. Uh EDWARDO. Rodriguez born a
Speaker 1: third squirrels sittings in the minor League, ree have assignment.
Speaker 1: He will be traded as soon as he comes back
Speaker 1: and throws. I would say two starts, two starts he gone.
Speaker 1: Dustin May has yet to resume throwing. No shocker there.
Speaker 1: So between that and this Clayton Kershaw dealing with the
Speaker 1: left shoulder inflammation news, Emma, she has not going anywhere
Speaker 1: for the next couple of weeks. Folks like he's going
Speaker 1: to be in this rotation until they get a long
Speaker 1: term solution. So I think till mid to late July. Emma,
Speaker 1: she Hen's still gonna be useful. Don't go dropping him.
Speaker 1: We talked about Corbin Kroll. I won't go back on that,
Speaker 1: but Chris Bryant will return today for finale against the Tigers.
Speaker 1: Here's a fun fact in the way reire video this week.
Speaker 1: Spencer Torkleson was one of my pickups because I said,
Speaker 1: you know, four of the eight home runs have come
Speaker 1: this month. He's starting to figure things out. Another homer,
Speaker 1: oh wait, another one. Two homers for Spencer Torkleson right now,
Speaker 1: So I think things are starting to get figured out
Speaker 1: late Bloomer, That's okay, We'll take it anyway. Three up
Speaker 1: and three down. Jad Martinez boys, he been on fire,
Speaker 1: had the injury was terrible in the beginning of the year, cuttable,
Speaker 1: and then he's come back out of a pretty strong
Speaker 1: performance so far, considering the ADP as a player we
Speaker 1: liked going into the season, and Man in April did
Speaker 1: not look good. But four for five with a homer.
Speaker 1: Yet Alex Bregman three for four with the Grand Slam
Speaker 1: and that onslaught of the poor Cardinals and then Vlad
Speaker 1: Guerrero Junior at a home run. So Vlad is heating
Speaker 1: up Blad is gonna be in the home run Derby?
Speaker 1: Do we think Vlad is in line for a big
Speaker 1: second half? Well big?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's gonna be big big.
Speaker 1: I want to know, is it big? It's all I'm
Speaker 1: here for the big second half. Don't give me the
Speaker 1: medium worn I don't want.
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit of a conspiracy. Like the home
Speaker 2: run Derby swinging could alter some of the guys. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I feel like there's just a thing to that.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if it's gonna jumpstart him in
Speaker 2: any way. I think we'll get like eighty five percent flat.
Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna get a monster flat in
Speaker 2: the second half. But I buy him being much better.
Speaker 2: You know he is getting that, So I'm in.
Speaker 1: I hope so it's got to turn around. Three down.
Speaker 1: Adam Wainwright got only five outs yesterday six runs. Yikes,
Speaker 1: not a good look. Lance Lynn. Lance Lynn is ad
Speaker 1: the weirdest season I've seen in recent memory. So he
Speaker 1: gave up three homers, five runs, but he got the
Speaker 1: w Where's the other day when he struck out eight
Speaker 1: million guys? He got the loss. I can't I can't
Speaker 1: describe it. I don't know. He's weird.
Speaker 2: He's another one of those guys. I wonder if they
Speaker 2: would consider moving him. It's been bad, but he does
Speaker 2: have almost a two run differential between his era and
Speaker 2: his expected era, which that's.
Speaker 1: A guy i'd be after. There's a short term commitment.
Speaker 1: The Reds, the Diamondbacks, that's the kind of picture I
Speaker 1: think they're more in the market for. Is a lance
Speaker 1: Lynn type guy who I think change of scenery would
Speaker 1: probably be good for him. At this point. Anything's better
Speaker 1: than Chicago. Do you think.
Speaker 2: Do you think like tons of pictures could get traded
Speaker 2: like Bieber Suresier Lincoln.
Speaker 1: I don't think he was going anywhere. The Cleveland's in
Speaker 1: first place. How do you trade?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. Well they talked about but they
Speaker 2: talked about moving him a.
Speaker 1: Month ago when the offense was doing nothing. I think
Speaker 1: we were on that path. The Tristan McKenzie injury coupled
Speaker 1: with what we just have happened in terms of this run,
Speaker 1: that the offense has picked things up a little bit
Speaker 1: this month totally has changed a complexion they are in
Speaker 1: this race. I think they're the favor for this r
Speaker 1: I really do.
Speaker 2: It's just by the way rack here.
Speaker 1: But did you see that Jose Ramirez. They'll take the
Speaker 1: pick in Cleveland. The pick is more valuable to them.
Speaker 1: They want the pick in Cleveland, I think. But did
Speaker 1: you see that steal of Home from Jose Ramirez yesterday?
Speaker 2: That was mild amazing. That's one of those magical moments
Speaker 2: to where the camera comes in and a guy has
Speaker 2: a wherewithal to make an adjustment on the fly last second,
Speaker 2: because if you haven't seen it, he steals home and
Speaker 2: as he's sliding in the catcher has the glove like
Speaker 2: out here, and I mean in slow motion it looks
Speaker 2: like it's totally easy, but this is all happening in
Speaker 2: real time speed.
Speaker 1: Josier Ramirez like ninety nine miles Rose.
Speaker 2: Ramirez has his hand up and moves it over around
Speaker 2: to touch the base. It was it was one of
Speaker 2: the cooler plays. And then I saw it. I don't
Speaker 2: know who said it, so I would love to give
Speaker 2: them credit, but someone said is stealing home These sing
Speaker 2: coolest play maybe in sports, but in baseball. So think
Speaker 2: about baseball. There's like, you know, a pitcher comeback or
Speaker 2: awesome catch. There's stealing a home run. I think that's
Speaker 2: the big one. Robbing a home run. There's you know,
Speaker 2: maybe pimping a homework, Like is there anything cooler in baseball?
Speaker 1: It comes out of nowhere, which is fun, and you
Speaker 1: don't see it very often, maybe see it once a season.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's like a perfect game. It's kind of like
Speaker 2: a perfect game, like how.
Speaker 1: Many you see it? How many games? Even less? But
Speaker 1: what's special about that moment is it comes out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: You're not anticipating it, and it all happens so fast,
Speaker 1: and there's there's a danger element that I think makes
Speaker 1: it kind of fun because there is a hitter there
Speaker 1: with a bat. Well, I mean, there's a bad guy
Speaker 1: ball ninety five miles an hour in the same location
Speaker 1: where there's a guy with a bat and you're trying
Speaker 1: to dive in between all of those things at one time,
Speaker 1: like you might die. That's why it's exciting.
Speaker 2: Well, I like it. I like that. Stealing home is
Speaker 2: like a bad guy, like bringing a bad boy home.
Speaker 2: Stealing home wears black sunglasses and ripsi and has a
Speaker 2: motorcycle and revsit at your dad's house like he's a
Speaker 2: bad boy homes.
Speaker 1: You get out of here, Jose Ramirez. That is the
Speaker 1: leather jacket, and you have a bad attitude. You get
Speaker 1: out of here. I don't want you dated my daughter.
Speaker 1: I still try to get the Patrick Sandal seven runs
Speaker 1: five innings. That's it. Now we're done, Welsh. You know

Speaker 1: s Edwar.
Speaker 2: I actually am. I was going to ask this, how
Speaker 2: many home stolen bases are there? I don't know how
Speaker 2: to say that. How many times has home has stolen
Speaker 2: in stole like in history of baseball? How many are there?
Speaker 2: I don't know how many steals of home I'm going
Speaker 2: to pick.
Speaker 1: Some prizes because Welsh's possible. I'll do it.
Speaker 2: I got it, I got it.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, Now you lost your opportunity, Patrick said,
Speaker 1: I was just kidding. Wander Franco seven hitter Fantasy score
Speaker 1: over today in Seattle, Mookie Betts nine and a half.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over against the Kansas City Royal. That
Speaker 1: was a big number of mookies in the zone right now.
Speaker 1: And Pablo Lopez has been much better on the road
Speaker 1: than at home this year. Six pitcher strikeouts against Baltmore.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go the over on that one. Now you
Speaker 1: can pick your prizes, Welsh, go ahead.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, all right. By the way, Wonkey's apologized, said,
Speaker 2: Mayor's back from the crew. So that's why Wonky's a
Speaker 2: little salty.
Speaker 1: Oh I'd be having I'd be salty too if Mike
Speaker 1: Maher returned it.
Speaker 2: I have there you go all right. So for my
Speaker 2: prize picks today, I'm taking Shane McClanahan and Bryce Miller
Speaker 2: no run first inning. I will take the under Freddy
Speaker 2: Freeman total bases one and a half and Matt Olsen
Speaker 2: Fantasy score eight and a half. I want to play
Speaker 2: lots and lots of different pieces here, but those are
Speaker 2: my three favorite that you guys can So maybe you
Speaker 2: can put a little bit of mine, a little bit
Speaker 2: of Joe's if you guys want to make a monster
Speaker 2: on price picks, because you can. You can pick from
Speaker 2: as low as two up to I believe six, So
Speaker 2: go and do it. Those beat on prize picks.
Speaker 1: You can get with this or you can get with that.
Speaker 1: Betting Wise today, Pablo Lopez five and a half. K's
Speaker 1: over again. You can follow me on Betting Pros, which
Speaker 1: is one of the fun things. If you haven't already
Speaker 1: downloaded the app, you can set your trackers to for
Speaker 1: specific sports so you get notifications like if you're just

Speaker 1: want to do, you could set all those notifications, which
Speaker 1: is great. But for right now, follow me you can
Speaker 1: get all my bets every single day here Monday through Friday.
Speaker 1: I'm also taking the Twins to win this game, so
Speaker 1: you can couple that together. I would do that the
Speaker 1: strikeouts five and a half over the Twins minus one
Speaker 1: to four on the money line. I can take the
Speaker 1: Giants to beat up on the Mets, because it's just
Speaker 1: easy to beat up on the Mets minus one eighteen. Again.
Speaker 1: Maybe pair that with an over on the Carlos Carrasco
Speaker 1: earned runs. That seems like a good pairing to me.
Speaker 1: And then one more duo for you. Let's go McClanahan
Speaker 1: six and a half k's over the Juices have. It's
Speaker 1: minus one thirty four on VP, but you put that
Speaker 1: with the race to win it minus one thirty five
Speaker 1: and you'll get like a two and a half to
Speaker 1: three to one positive number on that. So go ahead
Speaker 1: and put those things together. Welsh, what are you putting
Speaker 1: together on the betting side.
Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna tell you. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you saw this, Steven Rife in the chat just posted.
Speaker 2: This is an amazing stat According to Baseball Almanac, Ty
Speaker 2: Cobb stole home fifty four times. I didn't think there
Speaker 2: were fifty four stoles of homes in baseball history, and
Speaker 2: Ty Cobb did it fifty four.
Speaker 1: Well, it was a much more common occurrence in old
Speaker 1: timey baseball.
Speaker 2: When they were throwing forty five to the play.
Speaker 1: And what do you doing? Ass like you gotta try
Speaker 1: to stay at home on me? Will maybe if I
Speaker 1: throw this spitball, Yeah, maybe maybe I'll be able to
Speaker 1: see what happens that fella.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't be polite. Wouldn't be polite if you kept
Speaker 2: looking over it. May WHI I'm trying to steal this base.
Speaker 1: I'd like to make so many Tay Cob jokes, but
Speaker 1: I'm not not gonna make any of them. Just gna
Speaker 1: just gonna look.
Speaker 2: But fifty four times is wild to me. On the bets,
Speaker 2: So talk to you guys about the Miller. I'm going
Speaker 2: with lots of different Millers here. Head Bryce earlier going
Speaker 2: with Bobby Miller. Strikeouts five and a half over is
Speaker 2: plus money against the Royals, real stink. They love to
Speaker 2: strike out, So Bobby Miller will go with that. Sean McClanahan,
Speaker 2: it's juiced up a little bit, but I love the
Speaker 2: strikeout six and a half today minus one forty parlay
Speaker 2: both of those if you would like, you're gonna get
Speaker 2: to forty two. And going with the team total today
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers through the first five innings, team total
Speaker 2: runs three and a half at plus one twenty. That
Speaker 2: is how I'm attacking that. And I feel like I
Speaker 2: screwed up one of the teams.
Speaker 1: So the DoD doles of Home of welsh Ism, can
Speaker 1: we say that, thybe? We could add that to all?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm being like a little doofy about it,
Speaker 2: but yeah, absolutely, Oh yeah, no, the Dodgers other rose.
Speaker 2: I thought I was screwing that up. So that's why
Speaker 2: I love the strikeouts. That's why I love the.
Speaker 1: Team totals here.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Stoles of Home is a stats.
Speaker 1: Doles of home. There you go, Hi, that fella. That's
Speaker 1: if you can get to let's say, if you can
Speaker 1: hit this shine ball that I've got here, That's what
Speaker 1: they used to throw. They used to rub the ball
Speaker 1: in their wool hands till part of the ball got shine.
Speaker 2: Pure looks over You still home that, buddy, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: give you a shine of if you don't listen.
Speaker 1: Here, pal, I've got Jack Johnson right here for you.

Speaker 1: your friend.
Speaker 2: Guy.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the DFS pix of the day,
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez again. This is the train at home. Terrible
Speaker 1: this year, on the road magical this year. Nine point
Speaker 1: five k. Freddie Pearlt is in that same range, so
Speaker 1: as Bobby Miller. So to Welsh's point about Bobby Miller
Speaker 1: especially there, I think the roster percentage will be low.
Speaker 1: He can give you six innings and six caves and
Speaker 1: the w potentially, so Miller in the tournaments, Peralta and
Speaker 1: Lopez more in cash today, I'm fading McClanahan at eleven K,
Speaker 1: though it's just too expensive. I think Miller, Paralta and
Speaker 1: Lopez can get you the same and free up a
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to spend on offense. That offense I want
Speaker 1: to spend on Angels, Dodgers, Giants again. Troll of the
Speaker 1: Mets today, Owen Miller two point six, Jose Brady with
Speaker 1: two point eight, and JD. Davis sticking it to his
Speaker 1: old baller club because he ain't special, but he's there
Speaker 1: two point nine. For the week I'm gonna be taking,
Speaker 1: of course, my good pal showy Otani for the weekend.
Speaker 1: That's my home run call for the weekend. We've got
Speaker 1: JJ Tater at the top now thirty homers overtaking Razor Ramone.
