Speaker 1: What is up, Friendles, and welcome in too, Fantasy pros MLB.
Speaker 1: This is leading often. I am the Welsh and we've
Speaker 1: got a Joe, but we don't got the Joe that
Speaker 1: you think you know. We got Joe Rico. No Joe
Speaker 1: Pieza Pia. He is an out jet flying out here
Speaker 1: to Phoenix as we speak. Joe Rico pinch hitting for
Speaker 1: a ton this week, and we literally could not have
Speaker 1: a better Joe. Some might even say a Joe upgrade,
Speaker 1: mister Joe Rico, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be too different for the crowd, you know.
Speaker 2: It's an Italian guy named Joe. I'm not quite bald
Speaker 2: like piece of pa yet, but I'm on my way there.
Speaker 2: That's why I always got this cap on my head.
Speaker 2: So pretty soon we're gonna start resembling each other more
Speaker 2: and more. But it's great to get to fill in
Speaker 2: with you, my friend. It's always good. And we get
Speaker 2: to do pods together. I mentioned it last year, but
Speaker 2: I think you and I I've done more pods with
Speaker 2: you than anybody else I think in the space. So
Speaker 2: we got a bit of a shorthand it should be
Speaker 2: fun the two of us getting to reconnect this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, two best friends back in it. And as you
Speaker 1: get a little bit older, I'm feeling the age right now.
Speaker 1: We a week from today, I'm gonna be my Jackie Robinson.
Speaker 1: My birthday is a week from today, and I'm feeling
Speaker 1: the age coming in. But like as you get older,
Speaker 1: it'll be very interesting if you're you know, around here,
Speaker 1: we'll get to see the transformation as you become a
Speaker 1: version of Joe Piezapa. Maybe, but your hair is too lockey.
Speaker 1: It looks too good, and we've got too much good
Speaker 1: baseball to cover today. We are gonna be hitting a
Speaker 1: bunch of it. We've got injuries, we've got some big performances,
Speaker 1: We've got bets in tow and we are going to tackle.
Speaker 1: We are going to tackle a player that even if
Speaker 1: you question at all, if there's something wrong, that everybody
Speaker 1: will hold against you for a long time. Joe, we
Speaker 1: are gonna do an r you worry to know. It
Speaker 1: is not gonna be Garrett Crochet, but we've got a
Speaker 1: version of that here in a little bit. We got
Speaker 1: all the stuff in the thing. So thank you guys

Speaker 1: caught up if you can't watch us live. All right,
Speaker 1: let's jump into the big headlines here. How about Fernando
Speaker 1: Tatis junior Homer twice drove in three runs as the
Speaker 1: Padres they beat the Cubs ten to four. We got
Speaker 1: bad Cubs news yesterday. Let's start with Fernando Tatis for
Speaker 1: a minute. We had kind of briefly talked about we
Speaker 1: don't need to go nuts on this, but we had
Speaker 1: briefly talked about how that injury scared with the shoulder.
Speaker 1: Wondered if that would carry over for some people. He's
Speaker 1: right back in it, He's going ballistic. Everything feel good.
Speaker 1: Or do you feel at all there's a selish high
Speaker 1: type of situation because you know that shoulder is looming.
Speaker 2: Worries me a little bit, especially with his track rack.
Speaker 2: But if you're selling him, it better be for like
Speaker 2: the number one type of player, or you're getting a
Speaker 2: package of like a first and the second round player.
Speaker 2: Tatis could do this season if he stays healthy what
Speaker 2: Acuona did a couple of years back. Maybe not quite
Speaker 2: to the same extent, but that massive blow up MVP
Speaker 2: type of season where he hits forty and steals forty
Speaker 2: and hits three twenty. That's very much within the range
Speaker 2: of outcomes for Tattoos this year. So if you are worried,
Speaker 2: if you do want to get off of him, make
Speaker 2: sure you're getting back like another first round like if
Speaker 2: you're getting Bobby Wit or something. Okay, but it has
Speaker 2: to be literally like pretty much that high for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like to me, what that is is
Speaker 1: like nah, like we're good, Like I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I stand with it. When when
Speaker 1: it's like you know, oh, you got to get the
Speaker 1: top end, I'm not sure anybody's trading for that. But
Speaker 1: he is you know, absolutely going ballistic on the Homer
Speaker 1: and the stolen based marker. I think he's been great.
Speaker 1: I'm holding into it because I think it's just a
Speaker 1: tier down. It's the only thing you're gonna get. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna get a I mean, Carol would be impossible.
Speaker 1: But you know, you could float around in to the
Speaker 1: underperforming market if you want. But Fernando Tatis continues to
Speaker 1: absolutely roll as well. We saw a very clean shaven
Speaker 1: Dylan Cees. He looked very weird. Maybe everybody was doing this,
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure, but he Everyone was like,
Speaker 1: he looks like somebody. He looks like somebody. He looked
Speaker 1: like Dylan Ceese is any if you've watched what is it?
Speaker 1: If you've watched Severance? He literally looked like the any
Speaker 1: version of Dylan ces to me, have you seen that
Speaker 1: show Severance?
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it. It's on the list. But the
Speaker 2: one that I saw people saying was that he looked
Speaker 2: like pee Alonzo. I saw a lot of people saying
Speaker 2: in the different comment sections like Alonzo, I didn't really
Speaker 2: see it. That's the common one I saw. I was
Speaker 2: just kind of wondering, like, why did he have this
Speaker 2: huge beard like Dylan Cees. He's a fine looking guy.
Speaker 2: Why is he trying to cover up all that with
Speaker 2: this huge, massive beard. I don't know, but he looks good.
Speaker 1: He's like, he's kind of like a weird Like I
Speaker 1: don't call him weird, he's just a different dude. He's like,
Speaker 1: I mean to get yoga and I'm gonna get in there.
Speaker 1: And he goes the mustache, he goes full beard, shaved
Speaker 1: it off, but he looked like whatever that guy Adam
Speaker 1: Scott or whatever. But he literally looked like the dude
Speaker 1: from Severance. And it's been tripping me out. But I
Speaker 1: believe Michael King didn't interview during and said he might
Speaker 1: bring the mustache backs. We might get mustache version of
Speaker 1: Dylan Cees back. But he did go five and two thirds.
Speaker 1: He allowed three runs, but he had some punch outs
Speaker 1: in there. He gave up seven hits and he gave
Speaker 1: up a home to Michael Bush we talked about in
Speaker 1: the last episode. So Michael Busch still definitely in the
Speaker 1: pickup range. Fourteen swing and missus seven strikeouts for Dylan
Speaker 1: ce Swan Soto. Of course, we got to mention a
Speaker 1: Wan Sodo even though PZP is not here. Hit a
Speaker 1: second homer on Monday as the Mets beat the Twins
Speaker 1: five to one, but Clay Holmes. Clay Holmes got the
Speaker 1: win loud two hits, walked to struck out eight. He
Speaker 1: has been like weirdly he's dealt with efficiency issues because
Speaker 1: he was kind of not efficient early on in the
Speaker 1: last start, and then he just went punchy, punchy, and
Speaker 1: he was heavy on the punch outs in this one.
Speaker 1: Early takeaways on Clay Holmes is he moving in to
Speaker 1: poor man's Michael King from last year at all? To
Speaker 1: you do you trust him?
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell to make of him.
Speaker 2: Like those first couple of starts for the two against
Speaker 2: the Marlins, in particular, he didn't look very good, Like
Speaker 2: there was a couple of good innings that he had.
Speaker 2: In the second Marlin start, I tweeted out like I'm
Speaker 2: done with Clay Holmes, and then right away he struck
Speaker 2: out like seven straight batters. But he'll do this on
Speaker 2: and off thing where he looks like an ace for
Speaker 2: a couple of innings and then he'll look terrible for
Speaker 2: a couple of innings. And I think that the true
Speaker 2: number is probably somewhere in between. You know, the era
Speaker 2: for Clay Holmes right now is looking pretty good. A
Speaker 2: lot of the times I like to look at whip
Speaker 2: to kind of give me idea of what to expect
Speaker 2: going forward. It's at one forty seven right now. Is
Speaker 2: it going to be that bad consistently? Probably not, But
Speaker 2: he's a one thirty one career whip, So I don't
Speaker 2: really know what to make of Clay Holmes. A strikeout
Speaker 2: seem legit, but so do the walks. I think he's
Speaker 2: gonna be kind of an up and down, inconsistent kind
Speaker 2: of maybe not a mess this year, but there'll be
Speaker 2: starts where he goes six innings and strikes out twelve,
Speaker 2: and there'll be starts where he can't get out of
Speaker 2: the third inning and he's walked four batters, and it's
Speaker 2: gonna just kind of be that back and forth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of agree with you on that. I'm
Speaker 1: I think the consistencies could kind of hone in and
Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be any like streamer stuff
Speaker 1: in it. There's a little part of me that's like,
Speaker 1: would you take like, okay, like right here, this is
Speaker 1: perfect example, perfect timing from The Great Wonky Penguin saying
Speaker 1: I traded Clay Homes for Louise Robert over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Last night didn't feel great. But that trade specifically probably
Speaker 1: feels a little weird because Robert's, you know, been underperforming,
Speaker 1: He's only stealing bases, and Clay Holmes went out. But
Speaker 1: do you take a guy like do you take these
Speaker 1: inconsistent guys like a Clay Holmes and you try to
Speaker 1: trade on the high wind he's coming. I mean, what
Speaker 1: is it, eighteen strikeouts our last two starts. So if
Speaker 1: you have the opportunity to do that, I think I
Speaker 1: might because I agree with you. I think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be some inconsistencies where it's going to be. Here's a five,
Speaker 1: you know, five earned run gamer. He goes four on
Speaker 1: this one because this is a reliever transitioning over. But
Speaker 1: then he's gonna have these big, big strikeout games. That
Speaker 1: whole you know, that sweep with a sweeper slider combo
Speaker 1: or supercutter combo that he's got has definitely been doing
Speaker 1: some good business. So Clay Holmes for Louise Robert, and
Speaker 1: you don't like that.
Speaker 2: I kind of like the lou Bob side. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm still kind of defaulting. We mentioned this on Cleaning
Speaker 2: Up last week. I'm still generally defaulting to the draft
Speaker 2: day values. I don't think that enough has changed for
Speaker 2: a lot of these guys that you can make drastic
Speaker 2: differences within Like fourteen fifteen games, Luis Robert was a
Speaker 2: top hundred pick, Clay Holmes was going generally like eighty
Speaker 2: ninety picks later. I think if you can get off
Speaker 2: of homes and get lou Bob back, I think you're
Speaker 2: doing pretty well. Like, yeah, he hasn't been impressive. If
Speaker 2: you look at the batting average at one sixty three,
Speaker 2: but you've got a homer six Dolen bases the barrel
Speaker 2: rates at eleven percent. I think lou Bob is gonna
Speaker 2: be okay, especially if he does get dealt so I
Speaker 2: would take that trade. Personally. I think Walkee did well.
Speaker 1: There, and I'm a Robert guy too, like in the
Speaker 1: defense of it, like Bee said, need Robert trade rumors
Speaker 1: to get going. There was a rumor the other day.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw that. It was over
Speaker 1: the weekend the Dodgers and the White Sox had paused
Speaker 1: trade talks for Robert and it's like okay, like you know,
Speaker 1: put him on the Dodgers and its next level style.
Speaker 1: I mean those two teams they share a complex. I
Speaker 1: don't know people know this. They share a spring training
Speaker 1: complex that is just to each other. So it's very
Speaker 1: kind of incestuous of like you know, the organizations that
Speaker 1: they can like walk between and talk and they'll have
Speaker 1: these trades in between that. I mean, the Dodgers have
Speaker 1: the prospects to do it, so we'll see if that
Speaker 1: ends up actually happening. But they put some pause talks
Speaker 1: in next month or so. That's got a heat up.
Speaker 1: So that's one of those little advantages of going and
Speaker 1: trading for Luis Robert Junior. Camanaro went two for five
Speaker 1: with a solo homer two RBIs as the Rays destroid
Speaker 1: the Red Sox absolutely murder Bauld the Red Sox, which
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about here in just a tiny bit.
Speaker 1: What an embarrassing game, almost, Like here's the only cap,
Speaker 1: the only thing that worked well for me. As stupid
Speaker 1: as I was yesterday in thinking that the Blue Jays
Speaker 1: could win a game with Easton Lucas him getting blown
Speaker 1: out was only overshadowed by how bad the Red Sox were.
Speaker 1: To me, it was a little bit because you know,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Tanner Hawk, but like you know, had
Speaker 1: I bet on Tanner Hawk would have only been a
Speaker 1: a little bit more stupid. But Junior Cameronaro continues to roll,
Speaker 1: speaking of the young guys. Christian Campbell two for three
Speaker 1: with a solo homer on Monday for the Rays. I
Speaker 1: saw this yesterday. This is actually moved a little bit.
Speaker 1: I want to get your take on it. Christian Campbell
Speaker 1: had been kind of holding Rookie of the Year odds.
Speaker 1: He's been the best rookie. Funny enough, NL is like
Speaker 1: a disaster. It's wide open. It's still rookie Sazaki. He
Speaker 1: hasn't been good, Dylan Cec hasn't been good, Matt Shaw
Speaker 1: has not been good. That's your top three in the NL.
Speaker 1: So it is open. If you want to go into
Speaker 1: the NL side and bet a Bubba Chandler or something,
Speaker 1: or bet anyone low. There's great odds. The AL has
Speaker 1: been a firmly grabbed by Christian Campbell before yesterday's homer,
Speaker 1: though there was a new AL Rookie of the Year
Speaker 1: odds on winter. As of today, they're just about even.
Speaker 1: We're looking over on FanDuel, which, by the way, you
Speaker 1: guys want to make a bet, you can do that
Speaker 1: with our Fantasy Pros. We got a code there. I
Speaker 1: think it's Fantasypros dot Com slash lee eat off bet
Speaker 1: five bucks, win two hundred on your first bet using
Speaker 1: fandle go and check it out today and you can
Speaker 1: check out this offer that Christian Campbell is the odds
Speaker 1: on favorite as of today at plus one nineties to
Speaker 1: just about two to one. But Jacob Wilson has roared
Speaker 1: into this dude two thirty and he was the leader
Speaker 1: yesterday and he had it for a couple of Gays days.
Speaker 1: So I get your take on this, Jacob Wilson, Do
Speaker 1: you think he's like a viable Rookie of the Year
Speaker 1: candidate over Christian Campbell? You think Campbell's gonna rock this?
Speaker 1: Like would you bet? Would you want to bet Jacob
Speaker 1: Wilson in this?
Speaker 2: I think I'd want a little bit better than plus
Speaker 2: two thirty if I was gonna be betting Jacob Wilson.
Speaker 2: I think that Campbell, considering he plays in the sexier market,
Speaker 2: he's gonna put up the bigger stats like he could
Speaker 2: go twenty twenty or something like that, where Wilson he
Speaker 2: might hit three thirty, he might win, potentially could win
Speaker 2: a batting title. But I feel like Campbell is the
Speaker 2: guy the voters would appeal more to, considering the market,
Speaker 2: considering what the numbers are probably gonna look like. I
Speaker 2: love both of them for fantasy. I drafted a ton
Speaker 2: of Wilson, but I think Rookie of the Year. If
Speaker 2: I was gonna betting him for Rookie the Year, I'd
Speaker 2: want at least five or six to one plus two thirty.
Speaker 2: I just don't think it's long enough for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not really touching any of it. I mentioned
Speaker 1: before I got Campbell preseason seven and a half to one,
Speaker 1: and I felt pretty good about it. I think Campbell's
Speaker 1: gonna kind of roll with this, but there's a lot
Speaker 1: of good odds. Funny Nick Kurtz, who we talk about
Speaker 1: on the show every day. Nick Kurtz is already seven.
Speaker 1: He's seven and a half to one right now because
Speaker 1: and he hasn't even come up. But Campbell's kind of
Speaker 1: running away with this. But Jacob Wilson, the betting market,
Speaker 1: that's the other thing just to throw out is Obviously
Speaker 1: it's speculation, but you know, pay a touch to the
Speaker 1: betting markets in fantasy that the belief on Jacob Wilson,
Speaker 1: on his ability to make contact, his ability to not
Speaker 1: strike out. It's great and the betting market absolutely sees it,
Speaker 1: and they are buying Jacob Wilson and he has moved up.
Speaker 1: Here is a time to pick up question for you.
Speaker 1: I believe the answer is yes. But let's see you.
Speaker 1: Cameron Meisner. He homered twice on Monday, that blowout, absolute blowout.
Speaker 1: Now in the year, hitting four hundred, he's got three
Speaker 1: homers of stolen base going into today. Looking at our
Speaker 1: consensus odds between ESPN and Yahoo, four percent owned on
Speaker 1: Cameron Meisner. Betting are the hitting profile looks really solid.
Speaker 1: They're also putting him in some premium spots to hit.
Speaker 1: I think he was sitting like four or five. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's just moving up really high in the lineup. He's
Speaker 1: hitting the ball well. They've got some open space in
Speaker 1: the outfield and both him and Mangham have really held
Speaker 1: that back. But what do you think, Cameron Meisner? I say, yes,
Speaker 1: he is not the must must pickup, but you should
Speaker 1: if you can find a way in twelve and fifteen,
Speaker 1: You should do it, What say you on Meisner?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm game. The thing with those shallow formats
Speaker 2: is like I still see Lars Nubar and Junghu Lee
Speaker 2: on a bunch of waiver wires like a three outfielder,
Speaker 2: twelve team league. It's probably a little bit difficult to
Speaker 2: squeeze him in there. But I think if you have
Speaker 2: a space on your roster the needs replacing, maybe you've
Speaker 2: still held on to Josh Lowe hoping for the best there,
Speaker 2: move on pick up Meisner because if you look at
Speaker 2: the minor league numbers, they're really solid. He's a guy
Speaker 2: that kind of flew under the radar, but he's put
Speaker 2: up some twenty twenty seasons. In twenty twenty three and
Speaker 2: then twenty twenty four, he went for seventeen and thirty
Speaker 2: decent batting average. Nothing crazy, like he's not gonna hit
Speaker 2: in four hundred anything close to it. He's probably gonna
Speaker 2: be like a two twenty two thirty hitter, but he
Speaker 2: might hit seventeen eighteen home runs, and you know, the
Speaker 2: outside chance here is that he goes twenty twenty, especially
Speaker 2: in that ballpark. So I think if you have space,
Speaker 2: you can you can definitely take a shot on him.
Speaker 2: I just think it's kind of hard in those shallow leagues.
Speaker 2: You're in a ten team, three outfielder league, it's kind
Speaker 2: of hard to get him in the lineup. But I
Speaker 2: do what you can in twelve teamers.
Speaker 1: So here's a couple of questions. Friedel, as you mean
Speaker 1: Friedel or Meisner.
Speaker 2: I'd probably still go with Freedel.
Speaker 1: It's close.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I might go Meisner on there, Meisner or Jordan Walker.
Speaker 2: I would take Jordan Walker, so I would.
Speaker 1: Also take Walker. But I will say this in ten
Speaker 1: team leagues, I think Freedom and Walker are both cuttable.
Speaker 1: Excuse me that I would be. And then like this
Speaker 1: one with Holiday, I would also go with Holiday. But
Speaker 1: inten team leagues, when guys are struggling, I think picking
Speaker 1: up like a hot bat like Meisner would make a
Speaker 1: lot of sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's it's it's it makes sense in
Speaker 2: the train and burn in those in those formats. Just
Speaker 2: you gotta be careful, right, Like the line with Walker
Speaker 2: and Friedel is probably fine, But if it's anybody, because
Speaker 2: Walker has been pretty good. A couple homers, a couple
Speaker 2: of steels decent batting average, like he hasn't been bad,
Speaker 2: so I think I'd need to be a little bit
Speaker 2: careful about who I'm cutting for him. But I think
Speaker 2: that line is probably fine if you're just churning in
Speaker 2: the hottest guy off the wire every week. I don't
Speaker 2: have a big problem with that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like gam And said Meisner, yeahs I go with situation. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so you're you're kind of with it. Funny that game, though,
Speaker 1: by the way, absolutely blowout. And has pointed out the
Speaker 1: universe punishing Mayor in his Red Sox because of the
Speaker 1: rant on me yesterday, which is so this is funny.
Speaker 1: So and Mayor was saying, I don't think I appreciated it.
Speaker 1: The welshvid. My take on this has been the same
Speaker 1: thing for me, for anybody I've talked to you that's
Speaker 1: asked about it. The concept was funny, the execution was
Speaker 1: not because of the player, like Mayor did deserve to
Speaker 1: be punished on that. To pick on me about Garrett
Speaker 1: Crochet was the most ll not l but LOL thing.
Speaker 1: I was just stunned by it. So the execution of
Speaker 1: the player, you should have picked on me about Easton
Speaker 1: Lucas for today, do a video you should have picked
Speaker 1: on me about Robert Suarez. I'll take some l's, but
Speaker 1: that one was stupid in nature because it was like
Speaker 1: the player. I wouldn't shut the hell up about the
Speaker 1: whole season. So let's pick on Joe Rico. That's where
Speaker 1: we're That's what the whole thing is leading to. Let's
Speaker 1: say if we can pick on Joe Rico with an
Speaker 1: are we worried? So Joe? How it works here on
Speaker 1: the show, So you might in a week be getting
Speaker 1: a video yelling at you from Mike mayor if you
Speaker 1: express any worries. So just be careful about this. In
Speaker 1: the preseason, I don't know what your U which your
Speaker 1: rank ended up being, as far as like what the
Speaker 1: draft ended, I know you've kind of moved it around.
Speaker 1: You're very open about Jacob de Grom and how much
Speaker 1: you love Jacob d Gram, at one point calling him
Speaker 1: the number one sp in the market. So are we
Speaker 1: worried about Jacob de Gram at all? He's got a
Speaker 1: four to three ERA in fourteen innings. I don't remember
Speaker 1: the last time I saw this. He has less strikeouts
Speaker 1: than innings pitched. And we're not talking about one game.
Speaker 1: His walk rate is almost ten percent right now, and
Speaker 1: more importantly than anything else, his velo is down. His
Speaker 1: fastball and his slider both down about a mile per hour.
Speaker 1: But they said they want to baby some stuff. There's
Speaker 1: definitely the possibility that, you know, he is tapering stuff
Speaker 1: down for health at the end of the year, and
Speaker 1: he's throwing a little bit more of a change up.
Speaker 1: So my question to you is, are you worried about
Speaker 1: Jacob de Gramm in any way where he is a
Speaker 1: cell or maybe he's a bye.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm worried. I I messed up a little bit,
Speaker 2: probably ranking him as high as I did. But at
Speaker 2: the same time, we're talking about three starts. We're talking
Speaker 2: about early April, and we see it every year. There's
Speaker 2: guys who are terrible to begin the season. Bailey Ober
Speaker 2: last year, brutal in April, especially that first start, and
Speaker 2: he turned it around. Blake Snell in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: awful to start the season. People were dropping him in
Speaker 2: the first half. He won the cy Young So is
Speaker 2: it over? No, I'm not thrilled with what we've seen
Speaker 2: so far, for sure, and I'm you know, if I'm
Speaker 2: gonna redo my starting pitcher rankings today, he's probably going
Speaker 2: to be outside of the top fifteen or so. But
Speaker 2: at the same time, I'm not going to write him
Speaker 2: off after such a small sample size. I think that
Speaker 2: the velocity thing is by design. He's talked about how
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to be maxing out every single pitch
Speaker 2: and get himself back on the shelf or back under
Speaker 2: the knife. So he's kind of taken something off on
Speaker 2: the fastball and he's kind of learning how to pitch
Speaker 2: again at that new speed. It seems having been a
Speaker 2: guy who's ninety eight ninety nine now at ninety six,
Speaker 2: he doesn't seem to be that deceptive at the moment.
Speaker 2: I am willing to buy low because I don't think
Speaker 2: people are going to be, you know, asking for top
Speaker 2: dollar at this point. If you're able to get him
Speaker 2: for a guy who is, you know, one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty kind of range pre draft, I think that I
Speaker 2: would be fine doing that. But I am nervous. I
Speaker 2: am definitely nervous here, but I think it will be okay.
Speaker 1: Well, we got to pull. If you guys want to
Speaker 1: vote on it, it's on the twitch right now. Everybody
Speaker 1: can go and we'll take a look. Are you worried
Speaker 1: about Jacob de Gram? And I think that what that
Speaker 1: worried just ends up being is like, are you willing
Speaker 1: to buy him kind of low at a little bit
Speaker 1: of a discount, or do you want to get out now?
Speaker 1: Because I think it's fair to say that no one
Speaker 1: is completely freaked out at this point. It's still Jacob
Speaker 1: de Gram, but there is stuff where what is the
Speaker 1: line between changes he's making to try to stay healthy
Speaker 1: and things just getting worse? And I'm not one hundred
Speaker 1: percent sure what that line is right now. So let's
Speaker 1: see what you guys have to say about that. Not worried,
Speaker 1: but he was grossly overdrafted, doesn't appear to be himself.
Speaker 1: Those are some comments in there. Oh my god, de
Speaker 1: Gram was dropped in a fourteen team league. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Pick them up, pick him up?
Speaker 1: That is absolutely crazy. Let's go to some peanuts and
Speaker 1: cracker jacks. Let's see what else people are saying besides
Speaker 1: l videos and Canadian love for Joe Rico. I am kay,
Speaker 1: what is going on with Anthony Santander and Julio Rodriguez?
Speaker 1: Any concerns on either one of I mean Julio's kind
Speaker 1: of turning into like a slow, starty type of guy.
Speaker 1: Anything on Santandero you're worried about.
Speaker 2: No, not really. He hit a home run the other day.
Speaker 2: It's still so early for me to be like, I
Speaker 2: get so many questions in the DMS and through Patroon
Speaker 2: and everywhere else, people being so worried at this time
Speaker 2: of year. But it's like fifty at bats, it's fifteen games,
Speaker 2: you know, if this happened, it's the old saying that
Speaker 2: is thrown around. But if this kind of stretch happened
Speaker 2: for any player in June, July, August, we don't care
Speaker 2: it just because it's right at the front of our
Speaker 2: minds at the beginning of the season. I think I'm
Speaker 2: buying low on either. These guys are gonna talk about
Speaker 2: Julio a little bit later on in the show, but
Speaker 2: I'm not worried at all. Like, if anybody's dropping these
Speaker 2: nobody's dropping Julio. But if anybody's dropping Santander, I've seen
Speaker 2: crazy things pick them up. Like, it's way too early
Speaker 2: to be concerned.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think any of the worries should be
Speaker 1: out there unless they are viable players. To pick up
Speaker 1: in that respect. But I do think there are people
Speaker 1: that you look at some of these guys and you're like,
Speaker 1: holy crap, is there something really big wrong and I
Speaker 1: need to get out from under this guy now in
Speaker 1: the trade market, and I think that's that's a legitimate
Speaker 1: question to ask in the trade market, we all kind
Speaker 1: of roll our eyes. Unfortunately, when anybody is like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, should I drop Luise Robert or even this one?
Speaker 1: I mean, this one's moving a little bit way from
Speaker 1: I rolly, but Burger drop able, I'd say no, he is.
Speaker 1: His draft capital wasn't to the level that like, we're
Speaker 1: going to pick on you about Luis Robert. I think
Speaker 1: he's going to bounce back, and I've said, one of
Speaker 1: the lowest babbitts in all of baseball. But he does
Speaker 1: look a little messy right now. But most of us
Speaker 1: are going to I roll about dropping really good players.
Speaker 1: But from the trade perspective, it is a it is
Speaker 1: a really good question for any of them. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's get to a few more here, Jay Salty, any
Speaker 1: pitchers that are worth streaming today? Fetti versus Houston, Burke
Speaker 1: versus Oakland, Knack versus Colorado or Corbyn versus the Angels.
Speaker 1: I hate Corbyn today I'm gonna be betting against him.
Speaker 1: Nac is interesting. I don't trust Burr. I don't like
Speaker 1: really any of these guys. I don't like Fetti, even
Speaker 1: though you know Houston Euston starting to click a little bit.
Speaker 1: I guess if I had to pick one, it would
Speaker 1: be Nack here. But that's even a little bit dicey.
Speaker 1: What say you, mister jo Rico.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Landon Nack would be the guy Jake Irvin gets
Speaker 2: the Pirates. I think that that's not a bad one
Speaker 2: if you are looking for a name, those are kind
Speaker 2: of the main ones. Though, It's like looking at the
Speaker 2: guy who went today Schwellenbach, Osmond Flaherty. If Jeffrey Springs
Speaker 2: is out there anywhere, then he'd be a good option.
Speaker 2: I think he's like in the fifty to sixty percent
Speaker 2: range on Yahoo. It's it's it's actually a lot low
Speaker 2: on many fewer rosters than you would expect, like it
Speaker 2: started to end up a little bit more. But if
Speaker 2: he is out there, let me just double check the
Speaker 2: Yahoo number right now it is fifty five percent, so
Speaker 2: I mean, decent chance he's out there. If you're in
Speaker 2: a ten team league. He gets the White Sox tonight,
Speaker 2: but not the greatest pitching thing for streamers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not. I do like that. I was actually
Speaker 1: looking at Springs in the betting market. His strikeouts aren't ridiculous,
Speaker 1: but the White Sox they're like, you know, they're low,
Speaker 1: like as far as like what they're doing, they're ops
Speaker 1: is relatively low versus lefties, but they don't strike out
Speaker 1: like a ton. I mean relative to other teams. It
Speaker 1: is closing in on like the twenty it's like twenty
Speaker 1: five or twenty eight percent or something like that. So
Speaker 1: I didn't love. I didn't think there's a big edge
Speaker 1: for him as far as like the betting market goes.
Speaker 1: But he would be a good streamer if he's out there.
Speaker 1: Sean Strider's coming back. Me to drop one of these Hicks,
Speaker 1: Dolander was Neski. It's Hicks, right, I just did like
Speaker 1: a breakdown on my on my twitch. I've got the
Speaker 1: twitch dot tv slash in this league. The other day
Speaker 1: on these live streams I do where we were looking
Speaker 1: at Hicks and we're like, wow, there is some really
Speaker 1: fascinating stuff, and then he got blown up. He got
Speaker 1: absolutely blown up. This is like his vela was way
Speaker 1: down last year, he brought it back up. I think
Speaker 1: he's super inconsistent, and I've kind of talked about that
Speaker 1: looking at this, you guys know, I love Dolander. I
Speaker 1: think was ness, There's no way I could drop him
Speaker 1: after that last start. I would probably drop Hicks for
Speaker 1: Strider here.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, let's get get Hicks out of the rotation
Speaker 2: and get bird Song in there already. What are we
Speaker 2: waiting for? I mean want. I wonder how long that
Speaker 2: move is gonna take, but it'll happen eventually, I think. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Carson Wizen hunts another guy in triple A, one
Speaker 1: of the nastiest changeups in baseball that you might see
Speaker 1: in a rotation sometime soon too. Who should I keep
Speaker 1: him my INNA spot? Roman Anthony or Nick Kurtz? That
Speaker 1: is Nick Kurtz. I am all Nick Kurtz right now.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: Here's another cheap plug on my patren. I do a
Speaker 1: weekly sheet where I do the top twenty five prospects
Speaker 1: for redraft and Nick Kurts is number one on there
Speaker 1: right now. So Nick Kurtz is my number one for redraft.
Speaker 1: He hopefully it's going to be up soon. We got
Speaker 1: to watch and see if Rook is going to be
Speaker 1: in the outfield, but Anthony is really struggling in triple
Speaker 1: A two. Would you rather the top prospect in baseball
Speaker 1: or the guy that's going to be up sooner?
Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm more defer to you on these things because
Speaker 2: I'm not as locked in with the minors. But I
Speaker 2: think it's Kurts right now. But over the course of
Speaker 2: the rest of the season, Like, if you're looking for
Speaker 2: a short guy, it's probably Kurts. But are we sure
Speaker 2: that he's gonna have a better stat line at the
Speaker 2: end of the year than Anthony on I think it's
Speaker 2: relatively close. But for the interim, I think it dated
Speaker 2: as Kurts.
Speaker 1: We had the poll. Let's see what the poll results were,
Speaker 1: because I did not see what were the poll results here? Cally,
Speaker 1: can you let me know. I don't even see the
Speaker 1: poll up here. We just hit some goal so we
Speaker 1: have like things just flying around the screen, so I
Speaker 1: can't see it. But we had the results, and we'll
Speaker 1: get it here maybe from CALLI in a second, because
Speaker 1: I cannot click on it here. Three up and three down.
Speaker 1: We'll get some more listener things here in just a second.
Speaker 1: Austin Riley two for four, two homers, five RBI on
Speaker 1: Monday as the Braves Bats woke up against Easton Lucas
Speaker 1: and Austin Riley was just going ballistic. Shane Boz was incredible,
Speaker 1: recorded a career high eleven strikeouts, allowed one run over
Speaker 1: six innings over the Red Sox domination and Dustin May
Speaker 1: six innings, seven strikeouts, Sean Shane Boss. Shane Boz is
Speaker 1: looking next level right now? What is your valuation on
Speaker 1: Shane Boz as far as like, what what do you
Speaker 1: think the sp range?
Speaker 2: He is probably top twenty five, let's sound about right,
Speaker 2: top thirty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's like thirty maybe the thirty to
Speaker 1: thirty five ring. Just think about all the pitchers, though,
Speaker 1: do you really think he's like that valuable over some
Speaker 1: of those guys that I'm trying to think of some
Speaker 1: decent HOODI rathers. But I think Shane Boz is kind
Speaker 1: of answering a lot of those questions. Like any of
Speaker 1: the guys that are popping in mind, I think you'd
Speaker 1: have to start really like, you know, pressing some of
Speaker 1: the sps to put in. But I think twenty five
Speaker 1: to thirty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean when you look at what he did
Speaker 2: before he was injured, we didn't know. We never had
Speaker 2: a big sample size. There was always like three starts,
Speaker 2: six starts. But the numbers were brilliant at the strikeout
Speaker 2: to walk numbers. And he's kind of gotten back there.
Speaker 2: Thirty eight percent strikeout rate, five percent walk rate so far.
Speaker 2: The one forty two era looks unsustainable, but the expected
Speaker 2: era's one eighty five. The FIP is two nineteen Sierra
Speaker 2: two oh one. It looks pretty legit. You know. Last
Speaker 2: year he had good results, but it was without the strikeouts.
Speaker 2: When he came back. If the strikeouts are there and
Speaker 2: everything's working for Shane Boz. Don't want to get hyperbolic,
Speaker 2: but he could be one of the best pitchers in
Speaker 2: baseball if everything clicks for him in an over a
Speaker 2: long period of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting too. All of the Bozz's starts have
Speaker 1: been in that little ballpark, you know, So get him
Speaker 1: in some more hitter friendly environments. Man, I wanna like
Speaker 1: Boz is better than Schwellenbach. Yeah now, but yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe even the next episode, because I don't have it
Speaker 1: right now. I don't waste time, but there's something I'd
Speaker 1: be curious to start doing that battle of like you
Speaker 1: know where has Shane Boz moved to. I actually got
Speaker 1: to do later today. I've got to do my rest
Speaker 1: of season ranks. We do every single week here updating
Speaker 1: on Fantasy pros, and Boss has got to take like
Speaker 1: a big jump up, like a significant jump up. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this, Shane bos or Rokie Sazaki
Speaker 1: rest of season Shane Bozz, Yeah, without question, right it is.
Speaker 2: It wasn't for me preseason it would have been Sazaki,
Speaker 2: but Sazaki is getting better. But I think Boz has
Speaker 2: been brilliant, especially like you mentioned in that in that
Speaker 2: Hitter's Park as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's probably a good one. On the down
Speaker 1: ten or how absolutely obliterated Actually deleted the note, but
Speaker 1: I think it was twelve earned runs. I mean, just
Speaker 1: like I said, murder ball, them things were just smashed.
Speaker 1: Friender Valdez was charged with seven runs, six were earned,
Speaker 1: ten hits in four innings. We're seeing a little bit
Speaker 1: more that lately, and Easton Lucas smashed up eight runs
Speaker 1: over five innings. Lol. To me betting Toronto through the
Speaker 1: first five very stupid on the poll forty Ah, this
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. No, what is this? I don't think
Speaker 1: it can be like, oh, you did a kind of
Speaker 1: That's why I'm sorry, I got confused. CALLI did a yes,
Speaker 1: no and a kind of. It was tied forty one
Speaker 1: percent Yes, forty one percent no, eighteen percent kind of.
Speaker 1: So I guess that is more people are worried than not.
Speaker 1: So I look at that and it tells me if
Speaker 1: you are a Jacob de Grom believer, it's a decent
Speaker 1: time to buy because you have more people than not
Speaker 1: worried about Jacob de Grom's early start. But the injuries
Speaker 1: are voting out there. If you could buy Jacob de
Speaker 1: Gram at ninety cents on the dollar, would you be
Speaker 1: trying to do that right now? Think about what that
Speaker 1: is like ninety cents knowing the injury history is out there,
Speaker 1: but you're getting a discount.
Speaker 2: Depends on what exactly that means, But something like that,
Speaker 2: I would aim a little bit lower at first. I
Speaker 2: think you can. You can spin the narrative in a
Speaker 2: trade of he's gotten old. You know, the stuff doesn't
Speaker 2: look there. The velocity you could you could put a
Speaker 2: lot of points against him that would probably knock the
Speaker 2: price down to maybe, you know, seventy five cents on
Speaker 2: the dollar, but yeah, somewhere in that range.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, you can put those hard earned dollars
Speaker 1: to making yourself better because you train hard, you show up.
Speaker 1: But lately, some Joe something feels off. Fatigue, fatigue lingers,
Speaker 1: recovery takes longer, and your performance isn't where it used
Speaker 1: to be. Those might be signs of low testosterone, a
Speaker 1: condition affecting thirty percent of adult men in America. And

Speaker 1: trex is in the house, all right? Where are we at?
Speaker 1: We are at some injuries. Let's talk about a few
Speaker 1: of the ins actually quite a few things here. Jose
Speaker 1: Siri has been diagnosed with they fractured left tibia, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna be placed on the IL. No bueno, but
Speaker 1: more room for some of those them young dudes. Brenton
Speaker 1: Doyle experience renewed quad soreness on Monday while running sprints.
Speaker 1: This feels like we're heading towards like a little IL stent.
Speaker 2: Right, doesn't look great? Yeah, the Rockies, the hits keep
Speaker 2: on coming. Man, nothing nothing can go right for the Rockies.
Speaker 2: As we're gonna We're gonna see in a second. But yeah,
Speaker 2: well doill, Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker 1: Well this one, I'm not sure I've seen this as
Speaker 1: the designation for a I understand it, but just the
Speaker 1: ending word here for like an IL stent. Chris Bryant,
Speaker 1: of course, was placed on the IL his second home.
Speaker 1: He summers on IL retroactive to April thirteenth. But the
Speaker 1: ILE designation it wasn't even like, you know, like a hamstring.
Speaker 1: It was Lombard degenerative disc disease. They put him on
Speaker 1: for a disease, and you just like, okay, So Brenton
Speaker 1: Doyle's banged up, and Chris Bryant. I gotta be honest
Speaker 1: with you of the stuff. As of recent years, Mike
Speaker 1: Trout was floating around the like, Oh, this is going
Speaker 1: to kind of bum me out. But he's you know,
Speaker 1: he's bouncing back and he's renewing his career. Is there
Speaker 1: anything just more depressing than Chris Bryant from where he
Speaker 1: was to just he goes to Colorado and just fades
Speaker 1: into obscurity and just apparently Lombard degenerative disc disease.
Speaker 2: When I first saw this, my reaction was he should
Speaker 2: be on like federal dis not on a major league
Speaker 2: injured list at this point, Like what the hell? Man?
Speaker 2: Like this is? This is brutal. It's like the anti
Speaker 2: kind of rendoing in a sense for me, because it
Speaker 2: seems like Chris Bryant really wants to be out there
Speaker 2: and wants to play, and he just is never able to.
Speaker 2: His body had just betrayed him into his thirties. It's
Speaker 2: such a shame. He was looking like he was on
Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame trajectory for the first couple of
Speaker 2: years of his career. But he needs to just hang
Speaker 2: him up, like it's it's I don't know how that
Speaker 2: would affect his contract, but this is this is just
Speaker 2: sad at this point.
Speaker 1: Well, we take a lot of money, he's got a
Speaker 1: lot of I think he's going to stick around, but
Speaker 1: he's like dhing and stuff, so I don't know what
Speaker 1: that's going to do. More fantasy relevant is the Brenton
Speaker 1: Doyle stuff. By the way, my boy Lee for asking,
Speaker 1: not a boomer, but how do you sub with Amazon?
Speaker 1: It is something you can do. Shout out to our guy,
Speaker 1: good guy Dolan who earlier subscribed with his Prime account.
Speaker 1: That is one way that you guys can do it.
Speaker 1: You can get rid of those stinky ads on here
Speaker 1: and you'll have access to the home run board, which
Speaker 1: we're going to be doing here in just a minute,
Speaker 1: all by getting a sub. You can just get a sub.
Speaker 1: People can give subs in here and we'll definitely shout
Speaker 1: those people out. Or you can use your Prime account
Speaker 1: and lock in one. As we close in on those
Speaker 1: one hundred and we got amazing people in the chat.
Speaker 1: Mike Mayer taking time away from making videos and helping
Speaker 1: some people on how to set up their Twitch. We
Speaker 1: appreciate that. A couple other injury stuff. Marcell Azuna did
Speaker 1: not travel to Toronto and underwent an MRI on Monday
Speaker 1: that revealed some hip inflammation, So old DH guy, little
Speaker 1: bit of inflammation. Nothing too crazy yet that they're doing.
Speaker 2: Shaw.
Speaker 1: Manaya has been clear to resume a throwing program, so
Speaker 1: that's good because last time he went out and he
Speaker 1: had a little bit of setback. So Shaw and I
Speaker 1: would you be preemptively picking up Manaya if people had
Speaker 1: dropped him and he's just sitting out there. Let's say
Speaker 1: it takes a bench spot, not an il spot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think in like twelve team leagues and deeper,
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. If it's like a ten team league,
Speaker 2: I'm not killing an active roster spot. They're too valuable there.
Speaker 2: But I think in twelves you can justify it. Anything
Speaker 2: deeper than that he should be stashed. That's kind of
Speaker 2: the line for me, a twelve team standard league thing.
Speaker 1: Your video, by the way, is killing me. I don't
Speaker 1: know if anyone else can see this. The only reason
Speaker 1: I'm mentioning it. It's like doing like pup up up
Speaker 1: up up up. Yeah, but it's funny. Is it's reminding
Speaker 1: me of glitchy Joe. Can we get Glitchy Joe Piezapia
Speaker 1: in the chat? We've got emoji's, We've got puppet Joe
Speaker 1: and Glitchy Joe. But it's literally it's almost like comically
Speaker 1: animated to little Glitchy Joe. Yeah, here we go. It's
Speaker 1: the gla. It doesn't really show up in the emoji,
Speaker 1: but yeah, we got lots of glitchy Joe's in there.
Speaker 1: How appropriate we have another Joe with a glitch but
Speaker 1: it's just killing me? How like? It literally looks like
Speaker 1: it's an animation, like we purposely did that, but we didn't.
Speaker 1: A couple others. Brandon Woodruff he's going to make his
Speaker 1: next minor league rehab start on Thursday at Triple A.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. So we are right there. We're
Speaker 1: going to get him back. We're not get him back
Speaker 1: next week, to be honest with you. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know how many starts they'd want a Triple A,
Speaker 1: but this could be the marker for him to come
Speaker 1: back early next week, which is great.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Lucas Giolito is going to make another minor league rehab
Speaker 1: assignment on Tuesday with Double A Portland. Maybe he can
Speaker 1: take the spot of Tanner Hawk. He might be coming
Speaker 1: back in the near future, and according to MLB on
Speaker 1: the transactions pages over from rtalwire, Francisco Alvarez had his
Speaker 1: rehab assignment moved up to double A. So that is
Speaker 1: a very interesting sign that he could be looming here
Speaker 1: in the very very near future. All Right, mister Joe Arico,
Speaker 1: it's time to test it with the best bets.
Speaker 2: Of the day.
Speaker 1: There we go, We're gonna do some best bets for
Speaker 1: the day. Taking a look. Yesterday, I was one and
Speaker 1: two for transparency, the strikeouts, hit another bat, the nerfee
Speaker 1: was just a bad loss. The it was a little
Speaker 1: bit bad, Lucky process was okay. The Toronto one was
Speaker 1: just lol stupid across the board. For my best bets,
Speaker 1: real quick, we are gonna go and back my boy,
Speaker 1: Spencer Schwellenbach four and a half strikeouts over it's minus
Speaker 1: one fifteen. The reason that it is at this number,
Speaker 1: if you're thinking this seems like a joke or a mistake,
Speaker 1: it is one hundred percent because they're going up against Toronto.
Speaker 1: Toronto I think I think is currently averaging like the
Speaker 1: third or fourth least strikeouts per game. But there have
Speaker 1: been quite a few pitchers that have starting pitchers themselves
Speaker 1: that have gone over five. So I'm gonna pack Schwellenbach
Speaker 1: whenever I get an opportunity. So we're gonna go with
Speaker 1: Schwellenbach over four and a half, so we're going at
Speaker 1: five strikeouts. I'm going with I'm going back to it
Speaker 1: Atlanta Toronto on the Neurfy. I'm gonna test that back again.
Speaker 1: We got Gossman and Schwellenbach going up against each other,
Speaker 1: hopefully a better outcome, and then I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: the Angels and the Rangers total runs. I mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: in the show, I'm not about Patrick Corbin in this matchup,
Speaker 1: and I'm going up against Patrick Corbin. Also, uh, Yusai
Speaker 1: Kakuchi has not looked great giving up some early homers
Speaker 1: as well. I'm gonna be back in Mike Trout on
Speaker 1: this so I like full game overruns, Angels and Rangers.
Speaker 1: Those are my three bets. I will say, uh, it
Speaker 1: was one, one and two on the show, but I
Speaker 1: did add two bets during the day and both of
Speaker 1: those hits, so it was a positive day. I ended
Speaker 1: up doing the no run for sinning and the under
Speaker 1: first five on the Mets game and that one ended
Speaker 1: up working. So make sure to go and check out
Speaker 1: Betting Pros. Download the app. You can do it for free.
Speaker 1: You can follow the people, and we've even got some
Speaker 1: free trials out there. You can check out mister Joe Rico.
Speaker 1: I see some total base props. Let's hear him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going for some plus money plays today, starting
Speaker 2: off with Kerry Carpenter, who has become one of my
Speaker 2: favorite players in baseball. He had a tank last night.
Speaker 2: He's playing against lefties now too, which I really like
Speaker 2: for his output this year. But he gets Quinn Priester tonight,
Speaker 2: the total bases at one and a half at plus money,
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that he's gonna take another ball
Speaker 2: out of the yard tonight. That's just kind of been
Speaker 2: in his mo recently. I think he's either four or
Speaker 2: five for the season. I want to say he's hit
Speaker 2: five now. He is just a tank and I think
Speaker 2: that whether it is a home run, whether it's a double,
Speaker 2: he is getting those two bases out of the way
Speaker 2: pretty quickly. And then Gunnar Henderson, we're getting a really
Speaker 2: nice plus one forty here going up against Logan Allen.
Speaker 2: I just I don't know. Man Logan Allen is for
Speaker 2: me one of the I don't want to say is
Speaker 2: one of the worst pitches in baseball, but he's a
Speaker 2: pretty bad pitcher for Gunner Henderson, a hitter of that level.
Speaker 2: To get plus money on one and a half total
Speaker 2: basis to the point where it's plus one forty just
Speaker 2: feels like too good of an offer to pass up.
Speaker 2: So two total base deals. If you're looking for the
Speaker 2: safer side, you got the minus money plays with well,
Speaker 2: so if you're looking to take a little bit more
Speaker 2: of a chance, you got some interesting plus money plays
Speaker 2: here on the total base side.
Speaker 1: I like it anytime you can get Kerry Carpenter and
Speaker 1: gets a righty, I think that's a nice plus money play. Gunner,
Speaker 1: that's a big one right there. I can definitely get
Speaker 1: down with that. If you guys want, Like I mentioned,

Speaker 1: look at the home run board. Mister Cally, oh oh oh,
Speaker 1: that feels good. Bobby Witt Junior was my bet yesterday.
Speaker 1: Joe decided to tag along because I have been hitting
Speaker 1: homers and there I am. I am now tied with
Speaker 1: Wonkey Me and Wonkee seventh and eighth with eight. We
Speaker 1: got a couple others with eight as well. But at
Speaker 1: the top we've got far far out with eleven, tied
Speaker 1: with Marty. We've got Razor ramone that's still up in
Speaker 1: this top ten. The board is gettable still even though
Speaker 1: there's eleven. So you guys can sign up today and
Speaker 1: you can have an opportunity to win that Sammy Sosa autograph. Jersey,
Speaker 1: I will one hundred percent take it. That is not
Speaker 1: going to be a me not taking it. If I
Speaker 1: win it, I'm win and then I'll do a giveaway.
Speaker 1: Then I'll do a giveaway if I do it. But
Speaker 1: I want to win that bad boy. So I got
Speaker 1: my home run call. Little tip. I'd love to bet
Speaker 1: total bases of my home run guys, if you ever
Speaker 1: want to do that as well. Bobby Witt Junior on
Speaker 1: the board, Joe, I think got his second or third. So,
Speaker 1: mister Joe Rico, where are you going with your home
Speaker 1: run call for today? I don't know where. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've been playing the game at all, but
Speaker 1: this is your chance.
Speaker 2: It's been a rough go of it, my friend. I've
Speaker 2: got two for the year. One of them was on
Speaker 2: opening day Elliott Ramos and I hit one. I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: I hit one. It's not a superstar player. I'm off
Speaker 2: for a good stretch and then it's been like nothing since.
Speaker 2: So taking the low hanging fruit today, I'm going with
Speaker 2: the early game. Julio Rodriguez up against Nicolodolo in Great
Speaker 2: American Small Park. We mentioned him earlier with some of
Speaker 2: his struggles. He's hit a couple home runs already this season, though,
Speaker 2: and in that ballpark, the righty versus lefty matchup. I
Speaker 2: think he's going to hit one out of the park tonight.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: I've kind of mentioned before I'm not into the Patrick
Speaker 1: Corbin even though when there's been some good outings. I
Speaker 1: will go with a very low average output, but very
Speaker 1: high home run output. Mike Trout. Let me get back
Speaker 1: to Mike Trout here hitting a bomb. I like the
Speaker 1: over on the runs in this game. Mike Trout will
Speaker 1: be at the forefront of it, going up against Patrick Corbyn,
Speaker 1: who he has seen a bunch. You're getting a little
Speaker 1: over three to one on FanDuel three point twenty plus
Speaker 1: three twenty for a Mike Trout homer. I personally I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit more likely to bet the total bases.
Speaker 1: But whatever you want, you can do it over on
Speaker 1: FanDuel again, Fantasypros dot Com. Slash leading off and or no,
Speaker 1: what is the code? I'm completely forgetting what it is now.
Speaker 1: Fantasypros dot Com. Yeah, oh, that's the offer, slash leading
Speaker 1: off and then you can bet five win two hundred
Speaker 1: over on FanDuel, make some bets, do some home run calls.
Speaker 1: That is it, my friends. No, Joe Pisapia tomorrow again.
Speaker 1: Joe Rico is back. Joe will also be joining me
Speaker 1: for the trade video, the waiver video, and we got
Speaker 1: live streams. Just want to remind everybody we guys actually
