Speaker 1: today for prize picks and use that promo code leading
Speaker 1: Off when you do. I'm Joey p That of course
Speaker 1: is the Welsh and it's you, and we're talking all
Speaker 1: things fantasy baseball, wagering in baseball, just baseball stuff and
Speaker 1: obviously a lot to get to from the weekend's action
Speaker 1: and a lot of maneuvering. More young players on the
Speaker 1: horizon making their debuts. He had a little bla day.
Speaker 1: He had some nervous in between. Urvos is just a
Speaker 1: fun word to say. I just I can't say nervous enough.
Speaker 1: It's just a good time, Welsh. You know what else
Speaker 1: was a good time Guardians of the Galaxy three. No
Speaker 1: spoilers out there, We're not gonna spoil. I was so pleased,
Speaker 1: Jubjub baby, big time, Jubjub. I was so pleased with it.
Speaker 1: It's very rare. I have the high expectations for a
Speaker 1: movie and I go in and I was actually happier
Speaker 1: than I thought I was going to even be. Welsh
Speaker 1: texted me, He's like, how good was this, and I said,
Speaker 1: I know. It was really the highlight of the weekend
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and one hundred percent the highlight of the weekend
Speaker 2: for me. Everything else can suck it, get done with
Speaker 2: it. It is definitely all about that. It was a great movie.
Speaker 2: Lots of tear jerking stuff and just like normal great
Speaker 2: you know, Guardian stuff. So it's the Marvel movies always
Speaker 2: get me. And I loved it and I had a
Speaker 2: great time. I mean, I had to meet it because
Speaker 2: I saw you post something and I was like, no, Joe,
Speaker 2: and I was like it was before I went to
Speaker 2: the movie. I'm like, nope, I'm not getting you have
Speaker 2: to say. And then I text you immediately after the
Speaker 2: movie because.
Speaker 1: I was not going. I was I would never spoyl.
Speaker 1: I don't like people who do that stuff. I remember
Speaker 1: years ago somebody ruined The Force Awakens the Han Solo dying,
Speaker 1: and I was like, what kind of jerk are you? Like?
Speaker 1: It literally opened yesterday, Like what is your problem?
Speaker 2: He's like one guy who hasn't seen it yet, Like, Joe,
Speaker 2: what are you doing?
Speaker 1: What it was? The day it was? The day it happened.
Speaker 1: It was like the day came out right now, I'm
Speaker 1: saying though, but yeah, yeah, I know. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just like, you know, and I don't even know what
Speaker 1: became of that guy. He'sn't even in the industry anymore.
Speaker 2: And that's why an industry guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, what was.
Speaker 2: This like when I remember when Lashawn McCoy it.
Speaker 1: Was similar to the endgame? Yeah, but I mean that
Speaker 1: was like, I mean, I think we all kind of
Speaker 1: knew that's where things were going.
Speaker 2: What's a guy's name rhyme with I honestly, I don't even.
Speaker 1: Remember his name. I have to go back and remember
Speaker 1: what it was. But he was a pretty big deal
Speaker 1: at one point. Not as big a deal as also,
Speaker 1: of course. So let's get to the baseball. Let's and
Speaker 1: go see Guardian's Volume three. It's great, you'll laugh, you'll cry,
Speaker 1: amazing soundtrack, fantastic. You know what else is fantastic? Bryce Miller,
Speaker 1: damn it. He's good. Six scoreless sittings on Sunday and
Speaker 1: a win over the Astros. That is not easy. We
Speaker 1: talked about this is going to be a tougher test
Speaker 1: for Bryce Miller, and he passed. He's got fifteen strikeouts
Speaker 1: in one walk over his first twelve innings. Not too shabby.
Speaker 1: Batting average against through those two starts point one zero three.
Speaker 2: Talk to me, Bryce Miller. This second start was like
Speaker 2: a big key to me, except there's still something that
Speaker 2: just like jumps out to us. So he was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: But he was all fastball, seventy one percent fastball every
Speaker 2: single whift. This wasn't a big whiff game. So it's
Speaker 2: something to consider astros, but something to consider. All eight
Speaker 2: whifts came off of his fastball. But check out this
Speaker 2: mind boggling number. Thirty seven swings off of that fastball.
Speaker 2: That's a crazy number. Just in general, he had fifty
Speaker 2: one swings off of eighty five pitches thrown. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: That is to the point my buddy Joe Doyle has
Speaker 2: brought this out that is like Spencer Strider esque in
Speaker 2: how he's doing it. I still hate that it's all fastball,
Speaker 2: but this start, baseball spot was able to reclassify the
Speaker 2: cutter back into a slider. He threw that nineteen percent
Speaker 2: of the time.
Speaker 1: It was pretty good.
Speaker 2: It's hard.
Speaker 1: It like bites hard.
Speaker 2: The fastball has a lot of vertical movement. He's throwing
Speaker 2: that sweeper just a tiny bit that was that whole
Speaker 2: gyro and sweeper thing he's trying to do. So I
Speaker 2: guess my big question overall is and end up being
Speaker 2: like how effective can a dominant fastball player be in
Speaker 2: the long term. We saw Eric lower do it last year.
Speaker 2: He had one of the best fastball strikeout rates and
Speaker 2: two tapered back, and I don't know how this is
Speaker 2: going to taper back. He's still learning to throw a
Speaker 2: third pitch. I mean, essentially, twenty eight percent of his
Speaker 2: non fastballs were a version of a slider, and he's
Speaker 2: still learning to throw one of those. So I do
Speaker 2: think there's some bumps in the road. But that fastball
Speaker 2: is an elite freaking pitch. Even though it had only
Speaker 2: a twenty two percent swinging strike rate in the twenty
Speaker 2: seven CSW, it's because guys were just swinging at it
Speaker 2: every single time, and whether he was missing bats or
Speaker 2: not giving up hits, he did it again. He's kind
Speaker 2: of crazy, and he went for in some places in
Speaker 2: NFBC this weekend over three hundred and fab I missed
Speaker 2: out on him. I put around what was it like,
Speaker 2: two fifteen, and he went for two.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't have him like three weeks ago.
Speaker 1: Knowing your Brice Miller.
Speaker 2: Right, I know I do have him. I did have
Speaker 2: him in my auto keeper leg, but I didn't have
Speaker 2: him in in TGFBI or any of the NFBC stuff.
Speaker 1: Here's a question for you, wh would rather have rest
Speaker 1: of season Max Sures or a Bryce.
Speaker 2: Miller ah Man. I mean, like I'll easily quickly answer
Speaker 2: with Max Scherzer, just because there's a bigger than a
Speaker 2: fastball Arsenal. But I hate the raw. I don't know
Speaker 2: how bad this rosen thing is. I mean, I'm kind
Speaker 2: of intrigued to see where kind of play a role
Speaker 2: in it, but I would go with Suerser. But I
Speaker 2: get what you're doing. I get where you're at.
Speaker 1: Here's a question here, and I just made a trade
Speaker 1: for this guy, so I don't want to I want
Speaker 1: to get Welsh's take on this one too. Elie de
Speaker 1: la Cruz is from Razor Ramone. He's stashing him right
Speaker 1: now because he doesn't want to miss out. I know
Speaker 1: it hasn't been like Gangbusters for him so far in
Speaker 1: Triple A, but he was absolutely lighting up the last
Speaker 1: two levels of the minor leagues. Elie dela Cruz. Do
Speaker 1: you think we see him in twenty twenty three with
Speaker 1: the Reds or you think you get a full year
Speaker 1: in the minors from him?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I think you could see him this
Speaker 2: year in the Reds. Will it be impactful to your
Speaker 2: season this year? No, I don't think so. I think
Speaker 2: this is more probably closer to a September cop. You
Speaker 2: still got Matt McClain see And I think Matt McClain
Speaker 2: puts a wrinkle in this because, like you said, Ellie
Speaker 2: hasn't been dominant. Matt McClain has been crazy good. I
Speaker 2: think they want to see what they have Adam McClain.
Speaker 2: They're gonna want to see what they have at a
Speaker 2: Christian and Carnel shan Strand those are two hitters. You've
Speaker 2: also got Nowelvie. I don't know if Nowelvie would jump Ellie.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. But I just don't think they're
Speaker 2: gonna make that big push because if you bring it,
Speaker 2: when you do bring up McClain, where are you gonna
Speaker 2: put Ellie? Immediately? You could put him at third. Ellie
Speaker 2: he's been playing third in the minors. So yes, I
Speaker 2: think so. I just don't think it's gonna be like
Speaker 2: half of a season and vuying for like some Rookie
Speaker 2: of the Year odds or anything like that.
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep going with the headlines from the weekend.
Speaker 1: Right after the show, it seemed like like later in
Speaker 1: the afternoon on Friday, we got this news that Wilson
Speaker 1: Gatreros wasn't gonna play catcher anymore, and he's not gonna
Speaker 1: play outfield either, So I mean that kind of puts
Speaker 1: him in a weird bond. Now he's gonna clog up
Speaker 1: the DH spot. What the hell's going on? Why did
Speaker 1: you sign Wilson Gatres if he didn't want to be
Speaker 1: a catcher. He's thirty years old. What were the Cardinals
Speaker 1: thinking about here? This one? This is so perplexing to me.
Speaker 1: So what do you make of this? Well?
Speaker 2: I make that this is gonna be a new manager
Speaker 2: in the near future.
Speaker 1: Marma started to feel like that Marma is to lose
Speaker 1: disaster if.
Speaker 2: And what I'm curious about is is it like this
Speaker 2: is like a whole management team of like succession. I
Speaker 2: think behind the scenes, it's running this team, but like
Speaker 2: do they all agree? Do they all agree like what
Speaker 2: they're doing is right? Brendan Donovan. They keep just like
Speaker 2: throwing out there. Jordan Walker is a mess. Their pictures
Speaker 2: are a mess. The Wilson Trere stuff is embarrassing. I
Speaker 2: read it like four times and I was like, I
Speaker 2: don't know what's happened. I don't understand what I understand
Speaker 2: me those are not gonna.
Speaker 1: This just pissed me right the hell off, because Jordan
Speaker 1: Walker is the guy that we want to carve out
Speaker 1: more app ats for and now we're base I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a problem for me because now you have
Speaker 1: really buried him on the step shot. If if Contreras
Speaker 1: an everyday d H, then you're really kind of limiting
Speaker 1: yourself to what's going on here with the rest of
Speaker 1: the second base situation. In the outfield situation, you're not
Speaker 1: I mean, Arnado is gonna play third base. It's not
Speaker 1: like Walker's gonna third. So it's a weird here.
Speaker 2: You know what's trippy about it too. I think I'm
Speaker 2: not a big hole like you know, like ooh, manager
Speaker 2: has to take you know, the not even say baseball manager,
Speaker 2: like in real life work and stuff, manager has to
Speaker 2: be responsible for everybody else.
Speaker 1: In fact, I take way too much heat for what
Speaker 1: the greed we don't do.
Speaker 2: But in this situation, this is the most asinine ever
Speaker 2: because you had an off season, you had spring training,
Speaker 2: you had the beginning of the year, and then what
Speaker 2: in May, You're just like, yeah, this catch is not working,
Speaker 2: Like you have to make this work. This is what
Speaker 2: he's here to do. This is a catcher who's been
Speaker 2: catching for a long time, and you publicly go out
Speaker 2: and be like, hey, this doesn't work and that he's
Speaker 2: not calling the right stuff, Like how do you let
Speaker 2: this happen? It's total incompetence and it really just like it,
Speaker 2: I don't know. It takes away all the trust and
Speaker 2: whatever this roster management's going to be. So whatever we
Speaker 2: think we know, we don't know Jack. We don't know
Speaker 2: Jack what this team's going to do because they're wild cards.
Speaker 1: Man, not good. Speaking of a fantasy wildcard, how about
Speaker 1: a lay him in? Is well? She like he hit
Speaker 1: a couple of home runs, things looked like they were
Speaker 1: going in the right direction, that all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: out of the blue on the weekend, he's got a
Speaker 1: side pain goes in and it's an appendect to me,
Speaker 1: So he's gonna be out now. Four to six weeks
Speaker 1: to recover. And this is another one. And I started
Speaker 1: to do some research on this, and I did it
Speaker 1: over the weekend because I had the Sunday Show and
Speaker 1: I was I can't believe how many MLB players have
Speaker 1: had appendicitis. I read something interesting which was talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, possibly linking it to people who bite their
Speaker 1: fingernails because of all the bacteria, because basically it's a
Speaker 1: bacterial issue that happens inside your body. I did a
Speaker 1: little homework. I did a little web MD about the
Speaker 1: appendicitis and all that's.
Speaker 2: More pictures than would maybe have it because of like
Speaker 2: nail grooming and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Well, but maybe nail rooming going on as opposed to
Speaker 1: sitting out there on the oilfield and biting your nails
Speaker 1: or whatever. Are you.
Speaker 2: Are you legit saying like nail biting is the cause.
Speaker 1: Of I'm not saying it. I'm saying is there's some
Speaker 1: discussion about that. There's some discussion about obviously people who
Speaker 1: dip or eat a lot of you know, seeds or
Speaker 1: other things like that. There there's really no like one
Speaker 1: specific cause, but they have found things for certain people,
Speaker 1: like I should say, reoccurring fet in people, but there's
Speaker 1: no definitive yet medical evidence. But I thought it was
Speaker 1: fascinating because the appendix is that's something we need to
Speaker 1: live with. But it's something that if you go back,
Speaker 1: you'll get Matt Holliday Ada, I'm done. You go back
Speaker 1: and look at Francisco Lindoor last year. Literally every year,
Speaker 1: I feel like we get two or three appendectomies in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. And I don't know if I've ever
Speaker 1: known a human being in my life that has had
Speaker 1: appendicitis and has had an appendectamy.
Speaker 2: Do you know what, No, I don't think.
Speaker 1: So that's a good at least three of these.
Speaker 2: Isn't it weird we have multiple organs that like we
Speaker 2: just don't need you know what I mean, Like you
Speaker 2: don't need an appendix, you don't need a gallbladder. Like
Speaker 2: why do we have a I know what they do
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, but you just don't need them.
Speaker 2: That's so weird that we have that. And why is
Speaker 2: that one? I don't see gall bladder issues. I guess
Speaker 2: that's more probably like a.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just thought, but here the thing,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's another one. Now
Speaker 1: we're going to miss Eliam Henez So four to six weeks.
Speaker 1: This team is already buried. I think the White Sox,
Speaker 1: I mean they're almost ten games under five hundred. They're buried.
Speaker 1: I think they're done. The White Sox were smart, they
Speaker 1: would start unloading everything and they you know, to their credit,
Speaker 1: they they had the right plan. Sign the young players
Speaker 1: you have in your system, international signings, do all the
Speaker 1: right things. And at the end of the day, Robert
Speaker 1: can't run to first base, he gets pulled from games.
Speaker 1: You can't blame it on the manager anymore because he
Speaker 1: changed managers. Laya manace can't say on the field. Lanceline
Speaker 1: looks like you know he is. I mean, yesterday was better,
Speaker 1: but it is. If I'm the White Sox, I just
Speaker 1: start moving pieces.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna do it. They're not gonna do
Speaker 2: it for at least of money. You won't see them
Speaker 2: do anything. Liam Hendrix is coming back. They're gonna celebrate that,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna try to keep winning. They've buried all
Speaker 2: their prospects for guys like Hands or Alberto. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's not gonna happen. They are going to fight tooth
Speaker 2: and nail until they get appendicitis and they are going
Speaker 2: to try to win these games and they're not gonna
Speaker 2: sell off. And that's what's wild. That's what's so wild
Speaker 2: about this whole situation. They ain't gonna do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just crazy. There's another one here,
Speaker 1: Trevor Williams two years ago apidectomy. I got just if
Speaker 1: you put Jason Hayward appadect to me, like, I'm literally
Speaker 1: just put in an appendec to me. MLB player Clint Frazier,
Speaker 1: lawya menute, Like you could just go down on this list.
Speaker 2: What's the percentage of Like I would love to know
Speaker 2: the percentage of MLB players that have had an appendect
Speaker 2: to me, Just like just bizarre. I don't know. Another
Speaker 2: sector of the public.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a very weird thing. JP France,
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people in the chat talking
Speaker 1: about this five shout out things for him against the Mariners.
Speaker 1: Are we chasing JP France? Well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, JP France ended up having and registering I believe
Speaker 2: four or five pitches kind of like we've talked about
Speaker 2: with Bobby Miller, all one hundred plus stuff plus across
Speaker 2: the board. So there's this really funny, dumb article that
Speaker 2: was put out of at jp France that was citing
Speaker 2: Zach Rank back in the day where I'm trying to
Speaker 2: remember where the article was, but it was like Granky
Speaker 2: in his classic granky tone, was just like, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: really like what the Astros do because like they'll just
Speaker 2: take these guys that are not prospects in stink and
Speaker 2: then they'll just bring them up and then they're just
Speaker 2: good and then they're just great again, and they know
Speaker 2: what they're doing even though these guys stink and are
Speaker 2: not good pitchers. And that's kind of like how I
Speaker 2: view JP Frant's great stuff. Plus across the board, he's
Speaker 2: definitely suitable, great offensive support. There is a streaming guy.
Speaker 2: He's a total streaming guy.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about this. Well, this is a
Speaker 1: good question here from Uncle Ted talks Bailey Ober who
Speaker 1: had a good start this weekend or Dane Dunning rest
Speaker 1: of the season. Who would rather have.
Speaker 2: I'm going Ober, I would go with Ober two, but
Speaker 2: Dan's been pretty good.
Speaker 1: Dunning is a guy that I would want on my roster,
Speaker 1: and we kind of touched on that earlier. I said, look,
Speaker 1: with all these guys in Nadyavaldi and Raheeny, Jacob de
Speaker 1: grom a Dane Dunning Chaer in a deep league is
Speaker 1: a smart bench play because at some point that dude's
Speaker 1: going to have to make some starts. And here we are. Ezekieo. Tovar,
Speaker 1: by the way, went three for four with two run homer.
Speaker 1: He's starting to hit a little bit. Miguel Vargas after
Speaker 1: a slow start, starting to hit a little bit too.
Speaker 1: We're starting to see some of these prospects heat up,
Speaker 1: which is a good thing. The bad things the injuries.
Speaker 1: Jose Suarez, Now this could be a blessing of disguise
Speaker 1: for the Angels. I don't know. I don't want anybody
Speaker 1: to get hurt, though, but he departed after giving up
Speaker 1: seven runs and two and two thirds. Obviously been a
Speaker 1: bad season. Perhaps this is what's been going on with him,
Speaker 1: but he left with an injury, so more to come
Speaker 1: on that. I'm sure he's going to the IL. JD.
Speaker 1: Martinez is gonna get live at bat so he should
Speaker 1: be back theoretically at some point this week. Graham Ashcraft
Speaker 1: was removed after a terrible start. He took a line
Speaker 1: drive off the leg, so it was just kind of like,
Speaker 1: get this kid out of here. I want to ask
Speaker 1: you about Ashcraft because I get a lot of questions
Speaker 1: about him lately. He's not a guy that jumps off
Speaker 1: the page. To me, he is not in the same
Speaker 1: class as the Green Lodolos in terms of pitching prospect.
Speaker 1: But I feel like everybody's been loving him.
Speaker 2: He was putting that in the offseason, by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I wholeheartedly disagree with it when you look at
Speaker 2: the minor league numbers, like he is not dominating at
Speaker 2: the minor league levels to me.
Speaker 1: But what do you think about Ashcraft? Is that somebody
Speaker 1: that you're looking to acquire here or you think this
Speaker 1: is a guy that you just kind of stay away
Speaker 1: from in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: No, I'm pretty indifferent about it. He definitely has one
Speaker 2: of the he has one of the characteristics of a
Speaker 2: guy that when you take him off of his team
Speaker 2: and put him somewhere else, like you could dream big
Speaker 2: about him. And part of the love has to do
Speaker 2: with his insane big fastball stuff plus. He rates very
Speaker 2: high on excuse me, unstuffed plus in general, and I
Speaker 2: think he was like second or third on the year
Speaker 2: and stuff plus and his fastball is huge, and I
Speaker 2: think that's what a lot comes from it. But he's
Speaker 2: in a horrific pitching environment. I mean, I can't I
Speaker 2: can't get Lodolo over right now. He looks like garbage.
Speaker 2: Hunter Green has been okay, but Ashcraft has an under
Speaker 2: twenty percent K percentage, a double digit walk percentage right now.
Speaker 2: And it's great that his fastball, you know, spin and
Speaker 2: vel is up, but everything else is not great. And
Speaker 2: the low K numbers don't do anything for me. So
Speaker 2: if he were on like another if you were like
Speaker 2: on the Mariners, and you know, that would be something
Speaker 2: that might be exciting, that might be able to tap in.
Speaker 2: But he's also just not striking out guys with this
Speaker 2: really great fastball. So I don't consider him in that
Speaker 2: top run. But many did consider the the big three, uh,
Speaker 2: being Ashcraft with Lodolo and Hunter Green, and Hunter Green's
Speaker 2: been the only really serviceable one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, some braves notes a lot of them.
Speaker 1: Max Freed might not make a schedule start on Wednesday
Speaker 1: against the Red Sox, so that's not great. Also in
Speaker 1: the I told you so okay, Aedegory, Unfortunately, Von Grissom
Speaker 1: sent down at Triple A as soon as Orlando Arcia
Speaker 1: was ready to come back, and it was not good
Speaker 1: for Von Grissom the minute that extension happened with Arcia,
Speaker 1: a player that nobody in their mind thought was going
Speaker 1: to get any sort of extension in April getting into
Speaker 1: the season, that was all you need to know about
Speaker 1: what the Braves thought of Von Grisom. And you have
Speaker 1: to follow the money. I know people to want to
Speaker 1: do this. They always want to think every prospect's going
Speaker 1: to hit or hit immediately or be the thing. But
Speaker 1: follow the money because I feel like Welsh, the more
Speaker 1: often you do that, you're going to be right. And
Speaker 1: they showed you. They basically told you what they thought
Speaker 1: and at least for the short term that Von Grisam
Speaker 1: was not in their plans. Now RC is back, because
Speaker 1: that's somebody you would add if he was floating on
Speaker 1: the waiver.
Speaker 2: Wire, if you were like desperate, and I think there's
Speaker 2: a lot of like shortstops out there, RCI would be
Speaker 2: semi interested in. Probably not in twelve team leagues, a
Speaker 2: little bit bigger league I would look for him. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean I agree with you kind of on the
Speaker 2: Grisom front. I do think they just need to pull
Speaker 2: the plug and do this outfield thing. They've also played
Speaker 2: their hand before and they were going to take him
Speaker 2: off of that middle infield, so maybe just try that out.
Speaker 2: But he wasn't hitting, you know, and he doesn't have
Speaker 2: a short stop gig for the future where they want
Speaker 2: to play it out. So it's a bad it's a
Speaker 2: bad look. And they brought up Braden Shootmak, who is
Speaker 2: not a good hitter, but defensively is just better than Grisom.
Speaker 2: So I really think what I'd like to see when
Speaker 2: he sent down is they immediately throw him into the
Speaker 2: outfield stop with them middle infield stuff. You clearly will
Speaker 2: never play him there with Shoemak n Rcia back, So
Speaker 2: just make that move. And I actually think that would
Speaker 2: be a decent like that would be a decent sign
Speaker 2: for the future for Grissom.
Speaker 1: I agree, there's a great time to buy low if
Speaker 1: that move happens. All here's a question from Craig Johnson,
Speaker 1: what's up with Joey PA's draft Darling Amenez thinking of
Speaker 1: buying low on him? I would, Andresamenez is still a
Speaker 1: good player. Like it's one month, it's not losing any job,
Speaker 1: like I mean, I'm absolutely buying low on him. The Astros.
Speaker 1: A lot of notes from the Astros, So Jose, you
Speaker 1: CREDI could return somewhere on the All Star break. Fingers crossed.
Speaker 1: Luis Garcia though Tommy John surgery, he's good. Done for
Speaker 1: the year and for next year. Chas McCormick is going
Speaker 1: to be back today for the opening. Jose Al Tuve,
Speaker 1: by the way, he is starting to do more baseball activities,
Speaker 1: taking grounders, so he's looking more like a mid may return.
Speaker 1: So that's exciting news. So good and bad from the Astros.
Speaker 1: But they got to figure out this pitching situation. And hallelujah.
Speaker 1: Tyler Glass now two and a third scorel sittings on Friday.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get another rehab start this week. Perhaps we
Speaker 1: get Glass now back coming through. What is Tyler Glassnell's
Speaker 1: value in dynasty? He's still south of thirty. He is
Speaker 1: still you know when last we saw him dominating, absolutely
Speaker 1: dominating at the major league level. It's a good pictur environment.
Speaker 1: Are you investing or feel good about any investments when
Speaker 1: it comes to Glass now long term?
Speaker 2: It's a really interesting question. I'm actually working on updating
Speaker 2: my dynasty moment to have my dynasty rank updated for
Speaker 2: this month today, and that's a really really tough one.
Speaker 2: I actually think that eighty to one hundred range, there's
Speaker 2: a few pictures that sit in there that are just
Speaker 2: really really tough based on age, the youth. You look
Speaker 2: at guys like Tyler Glass now versus a Ricky Tiedeman,
Speaker 2: you know, I think that is that's a little bit
Speaker 2: difficult titament, how as all the big future upside, all
Speaker 2: the starts ahead of him, but he hasn't gotten there yet.
Speaker 2: Tyler Glass now coming off of injury is a worry.
Speaker 2: But the guy's young enough that he could still have
Speaker 2: three to five more like extremely extremely good years and
Speaker 2: he was a huge strikeout option. So I think Tyler
Speaker 2: Glass now is a good buy only in that like,
Speaker 2: I think someone held on to him long enough that
Speaker 2: I don't think they can value the upside of where
Speaker 2: he can end up getting to. But I think he's
Speaker 2: but he has to be valued in the like probably
Speaker 2: seventy five to one hundred range somewhere in there into
Speaker 2: that spot, and hopefully you know you're taking a risk
Speaker 2: with an injury.
Speaker 1: But the upside is top ten, top upside.
Speaker 2: Is top ten, sp inside the top fifty, somewhere in
Speaker 2: that type of range.
Speaker 1: So that's why I like oh, especially as these changing
Speaker 1: of the guard is starting to happen, Like you're starting
Speaker 1: to see the Shurezers and the Verlanders, you know, all
Speaker 1: that's yeah, we're all moving towards that, Like this is
Speaker 1: a younger crop of pictures now coming up, the Striders
Speaker 1: and the Gallons and these guys. It's the changing of
Speaker 1: the guard, and Glass now could be part of that.
Speaker 1: He's he's got to make thirty starts one of these
Speaker 1: years in order to be there. Three up and three
Speaker 1: down from the weekend. Paul Golschman four for five, three homers.
Speaker 1: Not too shabby. Yesterday they pounded. Yeah, I mean geez,
Speaker 1: they pounded on the Tigers. Nadie Valdi our favorite by
Speaker 1: low early in the season. Man oh man, he's even good.
Speaker 1: Eight scoreless sittings for him. Rangers just poned the Angels
Speaker 1: and then Fernando Tactists two homers off Clayton Kershaw on Friday.
Speaker 1: Not too shabby there too. The downs, Kyle Finn again
Speaker 1: blowing to save what else is new? Graham Ashcraft again
Speaker 1: eight earned runs, one and two thirds innings gross and
Speaker 1: Martin Perez seven earned in three and two thirds Welsh.
Speaker 1: It's that time of the show where we look forward
Speaker 1: a little bit to some prize picks, and I want
Speaker 1: everybody out there to go pick some prizes. Go to
Speaker 1: prize picks dot com or just download the app, use
Speaker 1: that promo code leading off and get one hundred percent
Speaker 1: deposit match up to one hundred dollars Welsh. What is
Speaker 1: on tap for the prize picking today?
Speaker 2: All right, let's pick those prizes. I actually thought about
Speaker 2: having doing a hater's ball, and I might start doing
Speaker 2: that for Mondays and just start having the haters pick them,
Speaker 2: whereas we play all unders. Because I found one under
Speaker 2: I really like, and that's at the top of my
Speaker 2: board today and I'm going with c J. Kron under
Speaker 2: six and a half points. Mitch Keller has just been
Speaker 2: a dude. So I am all about Mitch Keller today
Speaker 2: and I am looking I was looking for really any
Speaker 2: rockies that I could pare down, and he was the
Speaker 2: one that was staring me in the face. I didn't
Speaker 2: dig deep enough to play the full hater's ball, so
Speaker 2: I could do all unders, but myither two plays Mitch Keller,
Speaker 2: I'm going with five and a half strikeouts over and
Speaker 2: Shane McClanahan six and a half strikeouts over. I say
Speaker 2: it that I like a lot of strikeout props today,
Speaker 2: So it'll probably be a disaster of the ditch and
Speaker 2: all the others, but I like a lot of the strikeouts,
Speaker 2: and I'm pairing those two with the Hayton on CJ. Kron.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. Look at this. Look at this
Speaker 1: Razor Ramon playing some so rare. We're going to get
Speaker 1: to that in a little second too. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: go up and try. It's really fifty first and so
Speaker 1: rare that fifty first look at the Razor go and
Speaker 1: Razors crushing it today. Because he also said he had
Speaker 1: an app deck to me, So now I know somebody.
Speaker 1: So Razor is just a full contributor to the program today.
Speaker 1: Good on you, Razor, love that you're here every day
Speaker 1: live with us.
Speaker 2: Congratulations losing your organ.
Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't mean now he's a little lighter. You know,
Speaker 1: who knows how much that thing weighs. You know it's
Speaker 1: holding it down. Hunter Brown, only five pitcher strikeout going
Speaker 1: over on that one round. Come on, Jose Ramirez eight
Speaker 1: hitter Fantasy score and got a seven and a half
Speaker 1: on Wonder Franklin going over on that bad boy too.
Speaker 1: When it comes to the betting world again, betting pros
Speaker 1: dot Com slash leading off. That's a price to go here.
Speaker 1: I've got three leg parlay for eight today. It's using
Speaker 1: the heavily favored Yankees because Cortes against the stupid A's,
Speaker 1: and then you've got the Tampa Bay Rays. You've got
Speaker 1: McClanahan against Kyle Gibson. Now, Kyle Gibson is capable of
Speaker 1: ruining this. I'm well aware, like those annoying Oh look
Speaker 1: at Kyle Gibson striking out eight guys and looking great
Speaker 1: and eight innings kind of starts and then going heavily
Speaker 1: on Zach Gallon. So if you put the minus two
Speaker 1: ten with the minus two A five with the minus
Speaker 1: one S eight, you get plus two forty three. So
Speaker 1: it's a two and a half to one shot here.
Speaker 1: It's a good day. You can make a nice investment
Speaker 1: on that. Overs for me. Zach Gallon six and a
Speaker 1: half strikeouts, I'm going over Brown. I already mentioned that
Speaker 1: in prize picks over five and a half, you're getting
Speaker 1: a good number, and I'm investing in labor tours against
Speaker 1: the A's today. I think it's a good spot for him.
Speaker 1: Point five RBIs let's go the over. You're getting plus
Speaker 1: money there on the total basis, you're getting plus money.
Speaker 1: So check those out at betting pros Welsh. What do
Speaker 1: you got in the betting world today at MLB?
Speaker 2: Well, three law a three guy half for you are
Speaker 2: all props and I haven't don't have anything else. I
Speaker 2: do have one, I'll tell you I'm thinking about right now,
Speaker 2: but I've got Zach Gallen strikeouts over. I'm going with
Speaker 2: you six and a half, tanner Byby strikeouts four and
Speaker 2: a half over. God, I love that one, and Mitch
Speaker 2: Keller strikeouts five and a half over. If you want
Speaker 2: to parlay any of them, you can. They're all juiced
Speaker 2: in kind of different degrees. The Biby Keller one is
Speaker 2: kind of speaking to me to put those two together.
Speaker 2: I like those. Here's what I'm contemplating. I'm contemplating. I
Speaker 2: don't know which side I want to play. The Chicago
Speaker 2: White Sox team total runs through the first five innings
Speaker 2: is at two and a half. It's even money. This
Speaker 2: is versus the Royals, or do I play the over.
Speaker 2: These teams over the last three games combined are averaging
Speaker 2: ten runs given up through the first five combined, So
Speaker 2: I don't I haven't decided do I want to play
Speaker 2: the over through the first five or the White Sox
Speaker 2: team total runs. They're scoring seven runs through the last
Speaker 2: three games per game through the first five, So that
Speaker 2: is kind of my logic attacking that game.
Speaker 1: Somewhere, Wonky Penguin is being honest, and I love this.
Speaker 1: I love an honest penguin. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: Walky says, someday, I want to tell you all how
Speaker 1: I pronounce so Rare up until very recently. It'll make
Speaker 1: you a question whether or not I can even read.
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's from Wonky right there. And
Speaker 1: speaking of so Rare, go check out. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: it's a cool pling. Go check it out right now.
Speaker 1: So Rare MLB. If you like fantasy, if you like cards,

Speaker 1: next era is yours, so go check that out today.
Speaker 1: A little DFS action for everybody to Hunter Brown again,
Speaker 1: I'm just staying on the bandwagon. Nine point six. He
Speaker 1: is a lot less expensive than Zach Gallen and Shane McClanahan,
Speaker 1: but again, you're paying more for those guys. You are
Speaker 1: getting the premium upside and a good matchup to Tony Gonsolin.
Speaker 1: If you want to go opo here, this is a
Speaker 1: big oppo play. It's really cheap. It's eight point eight.
Speaker 1: So if he has a decent strikeout total against a
Speaker 1: struggling Brewers offense on the road here against Freddy Peralta,
Speaker 1: like Plarolta is the more expensive pittuer of these two
Speaker 1: by far. But if gonsoon ends up you know pitching
Speaker 1: well above and they go out there and you know
Speaker 1: Peralta has an off night or something like that. Gonsoon
Speaker 1: could be one of these OPO plays that could be
Speaker 1: very interesting. San fran Arizona, New York. Those are the
Speaker 1: stature looking at Glaber Torres two point eight, VOLTI two
Speaker 1: point seven, the top of that lineup, and an ex
Speaker 1: Yankee Miguel Andahar for the Pirates. If he's in the
Speaker 1: lineup tonight two point one k, he's come up and
Speaker 1: he's hit a little bit as well, Welsh. Let's take
Speaker 1: a look at the home run board, shall we. And
Speaker 1: for everybody who doesn't know still, we're in a new month,

Speaker 1: I told you it makes him lighter. BHB Daddy at
Speaker 1: twelve calson at twelve, and we got some other folks
Speaker 1: at eleven. I am over showey Otani dogged me this weekend.
Speaker 1: What I got O ford otanid so welsh? Why don't
Speaker 1: you pick some home runs first today? Because I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm struggling here. I got. I caught your disease. That's
Speaker 1: what I caught.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well pass it on to you. It's like the ring.
Speaker 2: I made you watch the video for five minutes and
Speaker 2: now you have it. And I mean I didn't hit
Speaker 2: any I didn't getny homers this weekend. Trout was troutless.
Speaker 2: Uh So I've got to swim in a different pond here.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with crowded.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go withes for a weekend from those two guys,
Speaker 1: know that's what we did.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go with Julio. You might even hear
Speaker 2: him in the trade video. Actually doesn't work out so
Speaker 2: great when I talk about a player because everybody wants
Speaker 2: to get rid of him. And then after I'm done
Speaker 2: writing and recording and send it, he then hits a homer.
Speaker 2: So it's like, oh crap, everybody, you were I was,
Speaker 2: but no that I recorded he hit that Homer on Sunday.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna go with him. I think there's a
Speaker 2: lot of underlying stuff that's working in his favorite start
Speaker 2: to pick it up a little bit. So give me
Speaker 2: Julio tonight for my home run call.
Speaker 1: Who do you got? The peanuts and Crackerjacks are speculating
Speaker 1: on the pronunciation of so rare that Wonky thought it was.
Speaker 2: So I am kind of to know. What was it?
Speaker 1: You play with you, you play with the baseball cards,
Speaker 1: you back and forth.
Speaker 2: That's it has to be.
Speaker 1: If that sounds like something Scooby Do would say.
Speaker 2: You had to like queue up the first four letters together.
Speaker 2: So that's where it had to have gone for her
Speaker 2: Solar Solari, That's what I'm gonna say. So it was
Speaker 2: what Wake was thinking.
Speaker 1: Here you go, wait, wait to go, wanky way to
Speaker 1: put the time in extra for the sponsor of the show.
Speaker 1: Also for me home run picket today, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Jose Ramirez. It's a good opportunity. I've gone with
Speaker 1: Ramirez before and he is not for me. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: where is my Jose? So from one Jose to another Jose,
Speaker 1: it's time Joey p needs a home run so please
Speaker 1: can we do this? Trent wants me to do the
Speaker 1: entire show in a French accent, which would be pain a.
Speaker 2: Lot of accents for you to do a whole show.
Speaker 1: And he got, you know, the versatility at the end
Speaker 1: of the day. Also, we got a lot of hits
Speaker 1: on the end, had a lot of messages privately about
Speaker 1: how much people enjoyed our Matt Harvey retirement.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the video is out there. Video is out there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know miss pros put it out, but.
Speaker 1: I put it out there. It got retweeted on the
Speaker 1: MLB account. But you know, if you missed it on Friday,
Speaker 1: the musical endeavor of the Matt Harvey video so good,
Speaker 1: so good. Welsh and myself also Welsh, you myself. This
Speaker 1: week are going to be doing a little betting video
Speaker 1: over a betting pro. So if you haven't subscribed over there,

Speaker 1: said it again. I hadn't thought of that since, And
Speaker 1: now everyone's wondering what the hell are they talking about?
Speaker 1: Who hasn't seen the movie. Even if you not a
Speaker 1: big Marvel person or you're like superhero stuff, it's kind
Speaker 1: of hard not to like Guardians. Guardians does kind of
Speaker 1: stand alone, is its own thing, you know. By the way,
Speaker 1: did you see the Guardians Christmas Special with Kevin Bacon?
Speaker 1: That was Corse.
Speaker 2: Of course we did, and there's references and I will
Speaker 2: tell you the opening sequence, the opening sequence in this
Speaker 2: movie is my all time favorite, maybe in any it's
Speaker 2: probably because of the song choice I loved as well,
Speaker 2: but it was a phenomenal opening song choice, especially for
Speaker 2: the Guardians. So go and check it out.
Speaker 1: Great five stars. It's so nice to enjoy something. We
Speaker 1: went like the nine to fifteen movie too. We did
Speaker 1: the breakfast movie. Hadds of breakfast Sandwiches and some coffee Boom,
Speaker 1: went to the to the movie, went the rest of
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 2: I went to the eleven one and we were standing by.
Speaker 2: They have a bar at there, and the bartender was
Speaker 2: like active and she was like, Hey, what do you
Speaker 2: guys want And I was like, it's ten forty five am.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't want anything. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: We're just standing here. Why why would you have the
Speaker 2: bar open that early?
Speaker 1: Because you can't.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 1: I get that's crazy. Who knows people up for the
Speaker 1: night before. Anyway, that'll do it for us, but the
