Speaker 1: Pooholes takes the mound. Let's play ball. Welcome in everybody
Speaker 1: to fantasy pros. This is leading off, brought to you
Speaker 1: by Ben MGM, the King of sports books. It is
Speaker 1: me Joey p joe Pisipia with you this morning or
Speaker 1: this afternoon, depending on where you are on what coast.
Speaker 1: And of course it's Monday, and that means the Welsh
Speaker 1: is here too. We're fresh off another wacky, fun filled
Speaker 1: weekend of baseball. We're gonna break it all down for you.
Speaker 1: You got your Buckston home run, you got your your
Speaker 1: Reds no hitter, you got two home runs, I should
Speaker 1: say you're right, You're right, pardon me, And you got
Speaker 1: a no hitter and a loss. So a what a
Speaker 1: crazy week. Also, Albert Poohols threw a couple of pitches
Speaker 1: so Welsh. I'm sure y'all had that on your bingo car,
Speaker 1: didn't you.
Speaker 2: Yep, I definitely had the Albert Poolhles. My favorite part
Speaker 2: of the Albert pool Hols thing was when Evan Longoria
Speaker 2: got a hit and then asked for the ball.
Speaker 3: He was like ball, and then pool Halls threw it
Speaker 3: over there. It is a.
Speaker 2: Special thing about baseball. Man you know, as fun as
Speaker 2: football is, you know, obviously still the king in the
Speaker 2: sports world, but baseball on a weekend and week got
Speaker 2: bases can provide to you some of the wackiest, craziest stuff.
Speaker 2: And every single week we're having one of those and
Speaker 2: having a no hitter, get a loss, and maybe one
Speaker 2: of the best greatest power hitters ever have his first
Speaker 2: time on the mound at forty two years old.
Speaker 3: Never before did the Cardinals or any the Angels let
Speaker 3: him throw.
Speaker 2: I'm amazed by and I'm amazed how bad it looked too,
Speaker 2: by the way, I'm always well, that always blows me away,
Speaker 2: Like how how any player, like even Brent Phillips goes
Speaker 2: up and they just throw like forty miles an hour,
Speaker 2: Like I want to see some dudes throw some gas.
Speaker 3: You know they can each year.
Speaker 1: Oh, I always want to see each yar o going
Speaker 1: like two three innings. I would love to have seen that,
Speaker 1: but probably.
Speaker 2: Think he half ra right now, right now, he could
Speaker 2: in relief, he could have a three and a half the.
Speaker 1: Ray You're probably right, but Pool always made too much money.
Speaker 1: The contracts are too big, so that's why God forbid
Speaker 1: he goes out there. He throws it in and he
Speaker 1: hards himself. That's what would happened. But it was fun.
Speaker 1: And now he's at the end of his career, he's
Speaker 1: taking those victory laps. Speaking of victory laps, let's take
Speaker 1: one for Showtani his one hundredth career home run. Congratulations
Speaker 1: mister Otani, very nicely done.
Speaker 3: Well did you see the video?
Speaker 2: Well sorry I want to interrupted, but did you see
Speaker 2: the video of what is his name? Zach Hamble Hammel?
Speaker 2: You know the guy, the home run guy who's always
Speaker 2: chasing all the home runs.
Speaker 3: Have you seen that? You have to see this guy before?
Speaker 3: You don't know who Zach Hamill?
Speaker 1: Don't know your face chats?
Speaker 3: Is that what?
Speaker 1: No? No snap books.
Speaker 2: He's prolifically hated because he has this book where he's
Speaker 2: laying in a bath him already. He goes to all
Speaker 2: the baseball games. He's the foul ball guy. No one
Speaker 2: has more foul balls than him.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: One of his most hated thing was he.
Speaker 2: Paid to get into this like military, this game that
Speaker 2: was only the military, and he got it, snuck and
Speaker 2: got a ticket and got like three baseballs. He's prolifically
Speaker 2: hated and he has a blog, and he had a
Speaker 2: he was doing the blog of trying to get the
Speaker 2: hundredth home run and someone videoed him disappointingly walking away
Speaker 2: and not getting it and just being like, oh, and
Speaker 2: he just walked away while he was talking on his
Speaker 2: phone via his blog. I can't believe you've never heard
Speaker 2: of Zach km He is so hated in the baseball
Speaker 2: for me, yeah, go Kart said. He's got like over
Speaker 2: like a thousand baseballs and everybody hates this guy because
Speaker 2: he's also kind of a well, I'm not gonna use
Speaker 2: the words I would describe on his attitude about things,
Speaker 2: but he's not very gracious in how he does it.
Speaker 2: He's just like, I'm the best. I'm the greatest all
Speaker 2: the games, thousands of baseballs.
Speaker 3: Look it up and it's fine.
Speaker 1: One of those guys. That's that's a tier I'd like
Speaker 1: to get to. I'm just hated. I don't if I'm
Speaker 1: prolifically hated. Yet, I'm gonna use the Yet.
Speaker 3: We'll get some day, don't We'll get there by.
Speaker 1: The end of the season. Juan Soda records his four
Speaker 1: hundred walk this season. I don't always for his career. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. For his career. He's walking so much because
Speaker 1: Nolway's pitching him, because that team is so dried. He
Speaker 1: has four hundred and one walks in four hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety nine games to start his career. What a fantastic
Speaker 1: Points League player he is. God, I love one soda. Okay,
Speaker 1: the Pirates case you biss did won a game now,
Speaker 1: as Monkey Penguin was pointing out, because the Pirates didn't
Speaker 1: hit in the bottom of the nine, technically they're calling
Speaker 1: it not a no hitter. But Hunter Green bounced back
Speaker 1: and look, I think I made this comments on this
Speaker 1: show on Friday. I'm almost positive it was. If not,
Speaker 1: it was on the Sunday Sports Cared show. But the
Speaker 1: point that I was making was Hunter Green's gonna figure
Speaker 1: it out. He's gonna have some games where you know,
Speaker 1: he leaves balls up on the zone, he gets pounded,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have some other ones where he's gonna
Speaker 1: have to learn to locate the fastball. And what he
Speaker 1: does learn to locate the fastball, it's going to be
Speaker 1: a good run for Hunter Green. So you have to
Speaker 1: be a little patient here and take your lumps, and
Speaker 1: you know this is gonna happen with a guy who's
Speaker 1: that electric. But again, what a strange thing. It's also
Speaker 1: strange because you know, you saw a little Cincinnati show
Speaker 1: up a little bit in over the last few days.
Speaker 1: Mike Bustakis started to show a little bit of life.
Speaker 1: So are the Reds coming out of the the doldrums
Speaker 1: a little bit? Here? Well, she you think you might
Speaker 1: be able to make a little oppo. Here is the
Speaker 1: Reds kind of pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. And
Speaker 1: I remember they're actually playing baseball, I.
Speaker 3: Mean playing the pirates.
Speaker 2: You know, like you can bet on the Reds if
Speaker 2: you want, but like their starting lineup is like Matt
Speaker 2: Reynolds and Brandon Drury and you know some guy that
Speaker 2: playing softball.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, brand jury has been on fire.
Speaker 2: But like it's a half softball team with a half
Speaker 2: you know, beaten down dead baseball full roster with some
Speaker 2: okay pitchers.
Speaker 3: I'm just not the one. That's not my style.
Speaker 2: Where I know a lot of people like, oh making
Speaker 2: money now, everybody's anti Reds. I just think the Reds
Speaker 2: are going from like the biggest pile of garbage to
Speaker 2: more like a you know, a container of garbage.
Speaker 1: You know, like it's in a bag.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, Okay, there's levels of garbage.
Speaker 2: There's the garbage in your house, there's a garbage you
Speaker 2: take outside to go to the dump, and then there's
Speaker 2: the dump.
Speaker 3: They were the dump.
Speaker 2: Now they're just the garbage that's outside. So I'm not
Speaker 2: looking to try to reverse bet money on this team.
Speaker 2: I would still like to better get against them. Just
Speaker 2: the pitching is pretty solid and that hitting is going
Speaker 2: to come down under Earth and Hunter Green he looked
Speaker 2: all right, you know, I was watching it in the
Speaker 2: seventh inning. He was still throwing that slider like one
Speaker 2: hundred plus pitches. They were gonna let him go, and
Speaker 2: then he just walked to when that slider's going bam,
Speaker 2: he's going to be able to set up that fastball.
Speaker 2: So I agree with you and that he's got moments
Speaker 2: of like this would be a bad game and this
Speaker 2: will be a really good game.
Speaker 3: But I don't know the consistency will ever be there.
Speaker 1: Well well, I think, I mean that's a lot to
Speaker 1: say we'll ever be there, because you see a lot
Speaker 1: of guys who throw flames and can eventually figure things out.
Speaker 1: The difference is what you could get away with at
Speaker 1: double A and triple A and single A you can't
Speaker 1: get away with at the big league level. If you
Speaker 1: throw ninety eight down the pipe, they're gonna hit it.
Speaker 1: You throw ninety eight down the pipe in double A,
Speaker 1: single A, they're probably not going to hit it. Maybe
Speaker 1: some of the guys in double A will. Many of
Speaker 1: the guys in triple A might. I mean, you saw
Speaker 1: him kind of struggle a little bit up there for
Speaker 1: a bit, but everyone just chalked it up to well,
Speaker 1: he was tired because of the innings. By the way,
Speaker 1: doctor Glenn, I love you too, Doctor Glenn says, he
Speaker 1: prolifically loves me. So that's very nice. So he better,
Speaker 1: he better because he's taken enough money for me in
Speaker 1: leagues last year. All right. Paul Goldchman drives in three
Speaker 1: in a round of the Giants. Wulia Rodriguez, your boy
Speaker 1: four for four with a homer. There you go in
Speaker 1: the victory. There Adulas Garcia hit two home runs against
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Justin Verlander. It'spun five shutout frames with
Speaker 1: a little bit of help from a certain umpire. Miguel
Speaker 1: Cabrera homers in the Tigers win over the Orioles and
Speaker 1: Tarik Scruble continues to be outstanding eleven strikeouts. I know
Speaker 1: it's the Orioles, but still, Tarik Scoubel is one of
Speaker 1: these pictures that I wish I had more shares of.
Speaker 1: I wish I was more in on, but I've been
Speaker 1: using him in DFS and the reason is it's because
Speaker 1: because he pitches four of the Tigers, he's constantly undervalued
Speaker 1: and underappreciated, and then he drops an eleven strikeout game
Speaker 1: and you're like, look at this guy, man. And I
Speaker 1: understand the win potential is always going to be hurt
Speaker 1: by the offense, but I don't care if he's a
Speaker 1: secondary pitcher on DK and he's going to be eight
Speaker 1: nine or somewhere in that eight K ranger even low nines.
Speaker 1: I think it's a decent investment. What do you make
Speaker 1: of school Bull's breakout, because that's what it is this year.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest, everything you wanted out of Edward thou Rodriguez,
Speaker 2: and it's everything that and and she would have suggested
Speaker 2: you would have got out of Casey Mice one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: I mean from a betting perspective. Also just point out
Speaker 2: he's a guy. Just track his case. You know he's
Speaker 2: gonna he's not gonna get it every single time. But
Speaker 2: I'll bet you ten k props you're gonna probably cash
Speaker 2: seven seven of them. You're gonna make money off of
Speaker 2: that because he's just he's not if we can use
Speaker 2: it again, prolific strikeout guy, where they're going to start
Speaker 2: dropping seven and a half's on him. You're gonna get
Speaker 2: to six and a half and then he has one
Speaker 2: bad and he comes back down. It's a great source
Speaker 2: of strikeouts, not a great source of win. I completely
Speaker 2: agree with you. He was viewed right towards the end.
Speaker 2: It was him, Matt Manning, and Casey Mice. He was
Speaker 2: viewed as the potential best fantasy option due to his
Speaker 2: level of stuff and Casey Miz's potential if that split
Speaker 2: it didn't work, which it didn't, and Matt Manning was
Speaker 2: a little overvalued. He has been the guy and he's
Speaker 2: developed exponentially better than the rest of them. He is
Speaker 2: totally underrated. There's a handful of these really young young
Speaker 2: pitchers that are underrated.
Speaker 3: Schooble is totally one of them.
Speaker 2: And I see Wonkey just said, uh oh. If someone
Speaker 2: said scoobl over McClanahan. Those are different tiers by the way,
Speaker 2: but fair enough to say that McClanahan is in that
Speaker 2: same tier where he has adjusted into the top elite core.
Speaker 3: I think school is maybe you know, in that like
Speaker 3: third or fourth tier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, McClanahan has been on a different planet lately.
Speaker 1: Schooble's getting there, but it's it looks great to see.
Speaker 1: It's great to see because we get so much hype
Speaker 1: about Manning and mys and meanwhile Schooble is the guy
Speaker 1: that's gone right past them. Also, Kyle Wright rebounded nicely
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts for the Braves there, so good job by
Speaker 1: Kyle Wright bouncing back a little bit injuries. Austin Meadows
Speaker 1: had some dizziness. He was a little dizzy. Uh, he's
Speaker 1: heading to the IL so we'll keep it on on that.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's not like a vertigo thing or something weird.
Speaker 1: Hope he's okay. Williadamas exits Sunday's contest with an ankle injury.
Speaker 1: Tommy Listella is going to be returning today though, and
Speaker 1: John Gray is gonna be making a start against the
Speaker 1: Angel today after leaving last week with that knee injury,
Speaker 1: which is so frushing because he had just come back
Speaker 1: and then he tweaked the knee and you could see
Speaker 1: the frustrations when he came off the mound. And it
Speaker 1: sucks because Gray is one of these dudes that I'm
Speaker 1: really rooting for because I like John Gray, like I've
Speaker 1: seen him interviews. I like the dude him out of Colorado.
Speaker 1: He seems like he was nice. Dude.
Speaker 2: I just saw him right after. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you saw that picture where he did the baby board
Speaker 2: and he was like, my name is John Gray.
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Huh and him, I didn't see the guys after.
Speaker 2: He's so accessible, so nice that I was like, dude,
Speaker 2: that tweet was so funny, and he didn't just do
Speaker 2: most guys are just gonna be like, yeah, okay, move on.
Speaker 3: He was like, oh did you like that? And he's like,
Speaker 3: you know what. My favorite part about that was He's
Speaker 3: like I was.
Speaker 2: Wearing my happy Gilmour outfit in the background and I'm
Speaker 2: like really, He's like, yeah, go look at the tweet.
Speaker 3: It was so fun.
Speaker 2: He's like a very happy, personable guy. He's so easy
Speaker 2: to root for, especially when you meet him in person.
Speaker 2: So it adds to the allure of your love.
Speaker 1: Let's go, John Gray, Let's go. I saw him an
Speaker 1: MLB Network interview in spring training, and I was listening
Speaker 1: to him talking. He seems so relaxed, like just being
Speaker 1: out of Colorado. You could see just it was like,
Speaker 1: finally I can get out there and try to pitch.
Speaker 1: And now he's had a couple of injuries here to
Speaker 1: start the year. I think he would be a fascinating
Speaker 1: guy to buy low on right now because he's had
Speaker 1: a couple of these little hiccups and he hasn't been
Speaker 1: able to get into a routine. I understand the limitations
Speaker 1: of the wins. Another guy with win limitations, But if
Speaker 1: you're desperate for pitching, I wonder if you could pluck.
Speaker 1: I wonder if you've been dropped in some leagues.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, I think he might even
Speaker 2: just be like bouncing around on the wires and stuff too.
Speaker 1: Take him, give me all that, all right, let's let's
Speaker 1: talk about this. Mike Mayor wanted to talk about this.
Speaker 1: As soon as I saw it. I went to go
Speaker 1: message Mike Mahyor, and Mike Mayor, being the heel he was,
Speaker 1: had already messaged me about it, which was somebody who
Speaker 1: was supposed to throw the first pitch out in City
Speaker 1: Field on Friday night and Extures there was like already
Speaker 1: in his routine and he wouldn't let them get anywhere
Speaker 1: near the mount to do it and just kind of
Speaker 1: them off.
Speaker 3: Can I add a little bit of context to it?
Speaker 3: Did you hear that.
Speaker 2: He was the Japanese Ambassador to the US and it
Speaker 2: was Japanese Heritage Night at.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's the word.
Speaker 2: That's the Twitter word is he was the Japanese Ambassador
Speaker 2: and it was Japanese Heritage Night and Max Scherzer was
Speaker 2: just like, Nope, can't come up here.
Speaker 1: I'm throwing unbelievable. All right, fun facts here you go.
Speaker 1: This is from Sarah Langs who writes for MLB dot Com.
Speaker 1: She does some great work on their most career strikeouts
Speaker 1: as a pitcher, players to hit one hundred plus over runs.
Speaker 1: You got Babe Ruth who had obviously five hundred strikeouts,
Speaker 1: five hundred and one with seven hundred and fourteen home runs,
Speaker 1: Choe Otani two hundred and sixty eight strikeouts, one hundred
Speaker 1: home runs now and then gorgeous George Sisler sixty three
Speaker 1: strikeouts and one hundred and two home runs.
Speaker 3: So there you go.
Speaker 1: So hani's kind of been a company of guys who
Speaker 1: you know, you know, well, they've been gone a long time.
Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to do one of these
Speaker 2: ridiculous Albert Poolhols things in here, be like guys that
Speaker 2: have had six hundred homers and got an.
Speaker 1: Struck one guy. I could have said, Okay, Albert pool Struck,
Speaker 1: got one guy, and then he's got excember home runs
Speaker 1: because he's got more than a hundred. But there you go.
Speaker 1: But it's, you know, it kind of blows my mind
Speaker 1: still that we're living in this time where this is
Speaker 1: happening again, and what the NFL is a very top
Speaker 1: two way players where the NFL is a very copycat league.
Speaker 1: I wonder we've seen it in the Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: draft the last few years, where there were guys that
Speaker 1: pitched and hit in college and they basically have made
Speaker 1: them choose. I wonder if organizations are going to look
Speaker 1: at this and say, maybe we shouldn't do this, Maybe
Speaker 1: we can get more out of our investment in these
Speaker 1: young players. If we're drafting them as two way players
Speaker 1: and maybe with the DH in the National League now
Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to swallow that pill than it
Speaker 1: was for you know, half of the teams in Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball. Do you think we're gonna see a little
Speaker 1: bit more of that in the future for MLB? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I do.
Speaker 2: The problem is, though, is we've also had a couple
Speaker 2: big name guys in the drafts recently that been two
Speaker 2: way players that have gone solo position. Mason Wynn is
Speaker 2: a guy who, by the way, you're in a dynasty
Speaker 2: league and you do prospects, Mason went is a monster
Speaker 2: and he was a pitcher hitter and I love this
Speaker 2: kid and he is solely dedicated to me in a
Speaker 2: shortstop and his bat is his play. There was a
Speaker 2: kid just drafted in this last one named Buba Chandler
Speaker 2: with Pittsburgh. We'll have to see which one he is.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 2: I think I kind of like him as a hitter.
Speaker 2: But it has been organizational. The Rays have been the
Speaker 2: ones that have did it. Jay Croniworth was a two
Speaker 2: way player. They got Brendan McKay. They have committed to it.
Speaker 2: The Angels have committed to it. We're not seeing other
Speaker 2: teams commit to it. But I think with the addition
Speaker 2: of the DH in the NL that teams can start
Speaker 2: looking at it. But I think you have to have
Speaker 2: the proper coaching and the proper scouting to be able
Speaker 2: to develop that, and I think there's some I mean,
Speaker 2: we have teams that aren't even using like the PitchCom
Speaker 2: stuff right now. So to go and tell some teams, hey,
Speaker 2: we need you to have scouts that are dedicated to
Speaker 2: making sure that these play the players can play two ways,
Speaker 2: I think they have to change their own teams. The
Speaker 2: easy answer though, is yes, there are teams that are
Speaker 2: making commitments. Pirates could be another one with Bubba Chandler
Speaker 2: if they decide to do it. The Rays and the
Speaker 2: Angels are already there. I think it's good for baseball.
Speaker 2: I think baseball wants it to happen. And to your
Speaker 2: point when you're talking about, you know, balancing investments and
Speaker 2: stuff like that, it's not a bad thing if you
Speaker 2: can have a hit.
Speaker 1: All market teams like who can want.
Speaker 3: Relief come in for an inning or two of relief.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're not all gonna be a tawny like
Speaker 2: Brendan McKay is not gonna I don't think it's gonna
Speaker 2: be a long term starting pitcher.
Speaker 3: He just had a surgery.
Speaker 2: But what if he can come in and relief, or
Speaker 2: what if he can close or something like that while hitting.
Speaker 3: I mean, he may just be I think of Rick
Speaker 3: and Keel.
Speaker 1: Rick and Keele was the guy that got closest, but
Speaker 1: unfortunately he didn't do it at the same time because
Speaker 1: Rick and Kiele was that guy that it was just
Speaker 1: an extraordinary athlete, and then as a pitcher he kind
Speaker 1: of bottomed out. And the fact that he was like, look,
Speaker 1: a good enough player. I always have been to be
Speaker 1: a major league hitter, and he was. He was a
Speaker 1: pretty decent major league hitter for a few years. I
Speaker 1: think that kind of style is something you're gonna see
Speaker 1: a lot more because the guys do it, and look,
Speaker 1: you do it in little league, you do it in
Speaker 1: high school, you do it in college. It's the big
Speaker 1: leagues where you don't do it. And it's kind of
Speaker 1: funny that you know, you don't get that opportunity.
Speaker 2: It's funny because you're right, because what it always was
Speaker 2: was like, Hey, this guy's a hitter, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, hey, did you know he was a
Speaker 2: pitcher in high school, so now he's completely switched positions
Speaker 2: where I'd love this.
Speaker 1: Kenley Jansen was a converted catcher, if memory.
Speaker 2: Yeah, six Dos Sanchez was. I mean, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of these guys that we're doing that. I hope to
Speaker 2: see it more because I think it's good for baseball,
Speaker 2: and I think these guys can manage it properly. I
Speaker 2: just don't know if our brain is around Otani. I
Speaker 2: just don't know how many Otanis we're going to see,
Speaker 2: because that is a very unique Michael Lorenzen, by the way,
Speaker 2: is another one with the Angels. But I don't know
Speaker 2: how many of the Otani's where this guy can DH
Speaker 2: four or five at bats, pitch five or six innings,
Speaker 2: I don't know that, but I definitely think you could
Speaker 2: see more guys being able to do more bullpen work.
Speaker 2: But you know, resources with teams, man, it's so short,
Speaker 2: they cut minor leagues. I just don't know how many
Speaker 2: will do it, but I'd love to see a couple
Speaker 2: more teams jump into the fray.
Speaker 1: All right, here's your trivia question of the day. Jan
Speaker 1: Soto is on pace to break Barry Bonds's walk record.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he is, but I'm just saying
Speaker 1: that out loud. He's walking a lot, Barry Bond. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna guess all time.
Speaker 3: By the way, I'm gonna guess he's.
Speaker 1: Not Barry Bond. I don't know. Man, the way this
Speaker 1: serious going?
Speaker 2: Well, Okay Soto has how old is Soto twenty eighty
Speaker 2: three years old?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like fifteen.
Speaker 2: I think he has four hundred walks and Barry Bonds
Speaker 2: has almost twenty six.
Speaker 1: Hundred's six hundred just about time.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're getting there.
Speaker 1: It's got that far. So Barry Bonds is the all
Speaker 1: time walk leader twenty five hundred and fifty eight walks
Speaker 1: in twelve thousand, six hundred and six plate appearances. Most
Speaker 1: of the top ten for walk leaders are all left
Speaker 1: handed hitters, who are the only too right handed hitters
Speaker 1: in the top ten. Both of them are Hall of
Speaker 1: famers in the Walk Leader Pantheon of things in the
Speaker 1: top ten. One played most of his career in the
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties, the other in the nineties and two thousands.
Speaker 1: But I'll give you one more hint to think of
Speaker 1: a guy who've got a lot of at bats, because
Speaker 1: that will probably tell you that these.
Speaker 3: Are players I would throw it as well as my
Speaker 3: little hint to give you these.
Speaker 1: Look at this. Trent Fleming is on it immediately. Ricky
Speaker 1: Henderson is one. There you go, he got it with
Speaker 1: that hint. If you get the other one, let me know.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, let's take a look at the stat
Speaker 1: heroes and zeros from the weekend. Here are the heroes.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fly through them, and I'm gonna ask Welsh's
Speaker 1: thoughts on a couple. Sean Manya three earned seven innings,
Speaker 1: twelve k's. Frankie Montas had twelve k's, which he needed
Speaker 1: a big start for the worst way He needs to
Speaker 1: get out of Oakland and onto a team that can help.
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez eleven k's, Justin Steele nine k's for him
Speaker 1: and six innings. Garrett Cole another good outing for him,
Speaker 1: three earned six with nine k's six innings, Zach Gallon
Speaker 1: nine k's as well, one earned. Hunter Green we mentioned
Speaker 1: his nine ks still walk five guys but still Charlie Morton,
Speaker 1: this is the one I want to land on for
Speaker 1: a se Morton's six earning six earnings six innings, one earned,
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts, one walk, two hits. This looks like Charlie Morton.
Speaker 1: So welch If you are somebody who's roster Charlie Morton
Speaker 1: and you've gotten your ass kicked by Charlie Morton for
Speaker 1: the last six weeks, and I'm sure he was on
Speaker 1: your bench for this start, are you throwing him back
Speaker 1: in your lineup? Are you trading him? Or are you
Speaker 1: just saying you know what the pass is? The pass?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go forward here with Charlie Morton and hopefully
Speaker 1: this is the turn of the corner. Where what is
Speaker 1: your temperature of Charlie Morton right now?
Speaker 2: My temperature would be throwing him back out there, getting
Speaker 2: him back in the trusted lineup. I'm not sure where
Speaker 2: the trade value really is. We're coming again, Like I
Speaker 2: think it's tough to have a complete give up on
Speaker 2: a lot of these players after a rough April, and
Speaker 2: if they start showing signs, I kind of want to
Speaker 2: follow it. So I don't really believe there's enough trade value.
Speaker 2: I would start throwing him out in starts, and if
Speaker 2: it gets wonky again, then you know, he becomes a
Speaker 2: spot starter. Maybe he becomes you know, eventually someone that
Speaker 2: you can burn and churn in your smaller leagues.
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna throw him back.
Speaker 1: Out, all right. Corbyn Burns seven innings, one earned seven k's.
Speaker 1: Bieber six innings, one earned, seven k Neser Kurt has
Speaker 1: another brilliant outing, Mike God's this guy could eight innings,
Speaker 1: one earned seven k's zero shares for me, I'm so
Speaker 1: upset about it. And also there's a fun line. Aaron
Speaker 1: Ashby four innings, zero earned, no hits, no walks, eight
Speaker 1: strikeouts and save for Aaron Ashby on the weekend. There
Speaker 1: you go. Here's your hitters. Paul gold Schmidt two dingers,
Speaker 1: six for twelve over the weekend. Sam Hilliard sighting two
Speaker 1: home runs, three for ten, Bryce Harper at two home runs,
Speaker 1: no UCL No problem for Bryce Harper, just dhm went
Speaker 1: Maryfield five for fourteen over the weekend with a home
Speaker 1: run of stolen base, five Ribbies four runs. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Will Myers coming back from injury hit a home run.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we'll stop striking out at an alarming rate speaking strikeout.
Speaker 1: Sal Perez four for fourteen with a home run in
Speaker 1: our five RBI. Taylor Ward continues to somehow be Taylor
Speaker 1: Ward six for twelve with a home run in five
Speaker 1: RBI talk about the beneficiary of lineup protection. Taylor Ward
Speaker 1: the poster child for this hunter Dozer eight for fourteen.
Speaker 1: Juli Guriell finally breaking out a little bit, two home runs.
Speaker 1: We've been use him in dfs as a lineup builder
Speaker 1: because you've been cheap. So again, this is what you see.
Speaker 1: Those guys in the middle orders were cheap, were you know,
Speaker 1: slow starts or you know, just not returning investments. Just
Speaker 1: keep plugging away. You're gonna get paid off one day
Speaker 1: like that. Cole Calhoun two, Dinger six for twelve, and
Speaker 1: Raffie Devers six for fourteen. Huh, there you go. You know.
Speaker 3: So interesting.
Speaker 2: It's so interesting that Byron Buckson was left off this
Speaker 2: list because Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Between between those three
Speaker 2: days you had two homers and someone happened him as
Speaker 2: the call. Someone had him as his call for Friday, Saturday,
Speaker 2: Sunday and he had two home runs, one on Friday
Speaker 2: and one on Sunday.
Speaker 3: So interesting that he's not on this list and left off.
Speaker 1: Some of the tribute. By the way, before you get
Speaker 1: to the zeros, see how I just ignored that Ripkin
Speaker 1: is incorrect. I'm sorry, it's not cal Ripkin, It's not Pooholes.
Speaker 1: And Eddie Murray was a switch hitter, but you know
Speaker 1: you are. Let's let's just say it hurts so good
Speaker 1: as your last hint. All right, let's get to the zeros.
Speaker 1: Carlos Rodan eight earned. What happened to Carlos Rodon I
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess it was bound to happen. Eric
Speaker 1: Lower was bound to have a bad start for earned
Speaker 1: runs seven k's though, three home runs for Lower, that's
Speaker 1: what did him in three and two thirds. For Christian
Speaker 1: Hobyer gave up seven earned That was not good. So
Speaker 1: Bally was bad.
Speaker 3: Kyle I was betting on that game, by the way,
Speaker 3: that Hobby ar game. Just want to point out.
Speaker 1: And then Kyle Friedlan was bad. Anyone named Kyle was terrible.
Speaker 1: Kyle Friedland too, twelve hits, no ks, two walks, gross
Speaker 1: bad start for Darvish five earns, same with Walker Bueller
Speaker 1: saying for Urius oh Man and Carlos Carrasco gave up
Speaker 1: four earned runs eight hits in four and a third.
Speaker 1: So any of these pitching performances scare you because these
Speaker 1: are some big names in here, with Darvish, Bueller and Urius.
Speaker 1: I just shrug him off and Lower was bad to
Speaker 1: have a bad outing, you.
Speaker 2: Do, Yeah, the lower one is the one I would
Speaker 2: focus on because I feel personally like I'm attacking Eric
Speaker 2: Lower a little bit. It's just that fastball, Like the
Speaker 2: way he has been getting out on that fastball is
Speaker 2: like a reliever. It's not like any really any other
Speaker 2: starting pitcher. It was some insane clip of like a
Speaker 2: sixty something percent whiff rate on that fastball alone, which
Speaker 2: just there's like three or four starting pictures in all.
Speaker 3: The baseball that got it.
Speaker 2: So I looked at that and I was like, this
Speaker 2: guy relies heavily on a fastball and it's getting all
Speaker 2: these whists.
Speaker 3: This doesn't seem sustainable.
Speaker 2: So I kind of focus on him and I look
Speaker 2: at him, and I go, this is a guy I
Speaker 2: feel like it's in a come back down to earth.
Speaker 2: So when I see this isn't a horrific performance though
Speaker 2: it's like he had no walks, he struck out seven,
Speaker 2: but he gave up four earned runs. I've been waiting
Speaker 2: for him to come back down. So I can't really
Speaker 2: even call it worry and like you said, a lot
Speaker 2: of these other guys. I mean, I'm out on Zavali,
Speaker 2: I'm not interested on Gray, but getting worried about Bueller
Speaker 2: and Dark.
Speaker 1: You know who I am worried about.
Speaker 3: I'm worried about Julio Urrias Julio.
Speaker 1: That was mine.
Speaker 2: I gave a big smack in my I just updated
Speaker 2: my redraft ranks over at Innesleague dot com and that
Speaker 2: was a big overhaul. And one of the things that
Speaker 2: stood out was Arius, like, you love the spin on it,
Speaker 2: but it doesn't feel like it's working anymore. He's commanding
Speaker 2: it all right. He doesn't push it by anybody, He's
Speaker 2: not fooling anybody. And he's getting hit and I feel
Speaker 2: like he's getting hit consistently harder. And I moved him
Speaker 2: down like a pretty dramatic amount of tears, and I
Speaker 2: wonder if it's going to keep going, because I'm very
Speaker 2: disinterested in him in that elite territory. So he would
Speaker 2: be a big sell for me right now, even though
Speaker 2: he's not performing at a great level. He would be
Speaker 2: a sell if somebody considers that general vicinity that he
Speaker 2: was drafted in. I kind of want to get out
Speaker 2: from under him.
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting, Welsh. At the beginning of the year,
Speaker 1: I was really pushing this narrative like no team's invincible.
Speaker 1: I don't care how big a favorites the Dodgers are.
Speaker 1: There's a path for them falling apart at some point.
Speaker 1: And the path would be the bottom half of the
Speaker 1: order not hitting, Juleo Urius being that guy that doesn't
Speaker 1: quite maintain his level, and Clayton Kershaw injury.
Speaker 3: And by the way, Bueller's with them.
Speaker 2: Bueller's with them not really performing at that elite, elite level,
Speaker 2: like he's going to step down. Arius has gone a
Speaker 2: couple steps down. Kershaw's on the il right now. Hitting
Speaker 2: has been a little Yeah, I totally agree.
Speaker 3: This is the path. This is the way the Dodgers
Speaker 3: don't win, which is.
Speaker 1: Good because I was wearing my Mandalorian shirt today, So
Speaker 1: it is the way. There you go. Let's get to
Speaker 1: some of the zero hitters, ready for this, Okay? Luke
Speaker 1: Voight two for fourteen, eight strikeouts, Patrick Wisdom ak's over
Speaker 1: the weekend, Jay cronin Worth seven k's over the weekend,
Speaker 1: Heyzus Sanchez, hey Zeus one for ten, six k's Jared Walsh,
Speaker 1: my boy, unfortunately one for sixteen. He's in a slump.
Speaker 1: Go buy him. Christianelich last weekend for the cycle this
Speaker 1: weekend two for eleven with five strikeouts, so that was
Speaker 1: fun while it lasted. Cody Bellinger two for twelve, five k's,
Speaker 1: and Anthony Santander one for thirteen with four Also Owen Miller,
Speaker 1: who's back from the injury, one for thirteen with four strikeouts.
Speaker 1: So let's get to the home run board and see
Speaker 1: who the leaders are after the weekend. All I do
Speaker 1: is win a ni King of the North and the
Speaker 1: Bloom aka de Blom. I'm just teasing you, de Blom,
Speaker 1: That's all I'm doing.
Speaker 3: I'm coming teens right down there.
Speaker 1: Larry c is a two twelve, the florin socks at eleven,
Speaker 1: got a couple other people at eleven. I'm still stuck
Speaker 1: at five. So I'm coming at a ways to go.
Speaker 1: You're where are you up to?
Speaker 3: You're at seven? Seven? After the four weekend, let's get
Speaker 3: on that.
Speaker 2: You know what, if I have a really good week
Speaker 2: and if I can remember to the days I'm not on,
Speaker 2: if I can, you know, go and put some ones
Speaker 2: on there, going to.
Speaker 1: Get on the board and you just put in home
Speaker 1: run whatever dash. It's like Morse code.
Speaker 3: Yeah I did. I actually did it last week with
Speaker 3: the You and Mayors Show. I did a horrible, stupid call.
Speaker 3: But I'll try to make some better ones. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: get on that one.
Speaker 2: Oh we guess what breaking news even better, I'm at
Speaker 2: eight according to mayor Even better, I was shorting myself
Speaker 2: a home run eight homers.
Speaker 3: I am too off from the board according to mayor.
Speaker 1: Let you go eight according to mayor what mayor math?
Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of mayor math, do you see
Speaker 1: he made up a new stat called mayory or a
Speaker 1: or I don't even know how to say it. It's
Speaker 1: like the mirror whip of mayonnaise. I don't know, may
Speaker 1: where is that era. It's like a composite. It's very cool,
Speaker 1: but I'm I just want to tease them about it.
Speaker 1: But it's very cool. It's like a composite of all
Speaker 1: these different era statistics into like one finite Mike Mayer
Speaker 1: approved e R, which I kind of like. So I
Speaker 1: am going to counter with babbit pieza pia. Uh so
Speaker 1: the bit piece of pia.
Speaker 2: It's okay, Yeah, there's something that well, there's something with
Speaker 2: whip and Welsh and I just don't know exactly what
Speaker 2: it is yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll find the end of the show. We'll
Speaker 1: figure it out. Let's get to, of course, the bets
Speaker 1: of the day is it's welp, that's mine. Welp. Well,
Speaker 1: well that's a common phrase for us here on the show. Welp.

Speaker 1: the promo code leading off, one word leading off, and
Speaker 1: start having some fun. We've been doing pretty well on
Speaker 1: these prop bets. I gotta say, here's the ones from
Speaker 1: betting pros that I like the most. Today, Jacob DEREIZI
Speaker 1: over on FanDuel three and a half for the strikeout total.
Speaker 1: I like the over three and a half is just
Speaker 1: too low. You're getting plus sorry, you're getting minus one
Speaker 1: sixty eight on the juice here, and I know it's
Speaker 1: a lot, but I think this is just a lock.
Speaker 1: But I would parlay it with something else. So just
Speaker 1: saying I think that fandor yeah, that's one to put
Speaker 1: into a couple other things that you feel really good.
Speaker 1: Take some minus juice that you feel good about and
Speaker 1: make it into one thing. Mookie Betts total bases over
Speaker 1: on DK is even money at one and a half.
Speaker 1: I like that one tonight. Freddy Freeman total bases, I
Speaker 1: don't care it's against left hand or whatever. It's masm
Speaker 1: Bomb Garner. He's not very good anymore. One and a
Speaker 1: half for him, and that's plus one thirty money on
Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman. Will Smith, I like all the Dodgers tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm going Dodgers Will Smith on DK half total bases
Speaker 1: plus one fifteen and then plus one twenty same number
Speaker 1: on DK. Justin Turner Welsh, did you have any in
Speaker 1: particular today or yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Got I've actually got two that you can parlay with
Speaker 2: I've had. I got to share these more because I've
Speaker 2: told people I'm still in a very exploratory space of like.
Speaker 3: Gambling and learning what I really like and playing around
Speaker 3: with some of them.
Speaker 2: K props I feel like I've done really really well
Speaker 2: with and it's one that I don't love today, but
Speaker 2: if you attack the right day over the weekend, Pablo
Speaker 2: Lopez Sean Mania or some that I was hitting, but
Speaker 2: the problem is that sometimes they're juiced up. I actually
Speaker 2: like your Oderezi one. I think it's kind of sneaky
Speaker 2: as he has been improved.
Speaker 3: Somebody that I would.
Speaker 1: Things is least seventeen things to give it up two
Speaker 1: earned runs. I think of memory serves or something ridiculous
Speaker 1: like that. Ever since the little conversation with Erlander, it's nuts.
Speaker 2: And someone I would pair him with today and it
Speaker 2: looks like it's super juiced up is Alex Wood with
Speaker 2: the Giants. And Alex Wood has hit It's only at
Speaker 2: three and a half today and he's going up against
Speaker 2: Colorado and he's hit it every single game but one.
Speaker 3: He just face called Dorado and had four. He's been a.
Speaker 2: Better strikeout option. He started off the year H six,
Speaker 2: five and five, so I really like Alex Wood.
Speaker 3: It's juiced up.
Speaker 2: I would pair that with the Oderezi. I think I
Speaker 2: might do that myself as a fun one. And then
Speaker 2: you had a I think it was the Mookie bets
Speaker 2: one that was was that juiced a little bit?
Speaker 3: Or what was the other hit?
Speaker 1: I think that was even money on Mookie It was even.
Speaker 2: Okay one I might I might parlay with again. When
Speaker 2: you get even money on player props, I probably you
Speaker 2: should play that.
Speaker 3: I mean anytime you.
Speaker 2: Could play stuff straight, like to play it straight, but
Speaker 2: if you wanted to play and have a little bit
Speaker 2: of fun one, I might put MOOKI bets with is
Speaker 2: Corey Seeger who's going up again Syndergard very good history,
Speaker 2: hitting over four hundred against him, and you can do
Speaker 2: the I.
Speaker 3: Believe the hit total. I would look at the hit
Speaker 3: and the total base prop and pick your side. Put
Speaker 3: it up against.
Speaker 2: If the hit is at one and a half, take
Speaker 2: the total bases, pair it with mookie bets and those
Speaker 2: might be a couple of fun bets for Monday.
Speaker 1: Doctor Glenn has a suggestion obps Apia, that's pretty good.
Speaker 3: What was yours what was your piece of PA.
Speaker 1: Which is whay. Yeah, actually that actually sounds like a
Speaker 1: Star Wars name Obi piz a Pa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Babit. We could do with Bogman, but Bogman.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the DFS slate today. Louis
Speaker 1: Severino and Kyle Brads going head to head on DK
Speaker 1: eight point a for seven Reno. Probably a good investment there. Uh,
Speaker 1: Kyle Bradtige who had a great start last week Wed
Speaker 1: have eleven strikeouts in the last start memory serves there
Speaker 1: five point eight. So if you want to use them
Speaker 1: as a secondary arm, you can tonight and sprinkle them
Speaker 1: around Miles Miko Las nine point eight tonight over on DK,
Speaker 1: Freddy Peralta ten point five and Cinderguard, who actually liked
Speaker 1: the Cindergard match up eight point five and the cave
Speaker 1: rates starting to pop up a little bit. I just
Speaker 1: think tonight, you you take a Freddy Peralta in a bradish,
Speaker 1: you go up to the top, you take a Micho
Speaker 1: listen Cinderguard, you kind of split the difference. I think
Speaker 1: that's kind of a good way to go. If you
Speaker 1: want to get sever Reno in there, you can go
Speaker 1: Seveo and Cinderguard, those those those five pitchers. Some kind
Speaker 1: of combination I think is the way to go tonight,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of dead spots on Fando. When
Speaker 1: just got to pick one, I would leave Bradish to
Speaker 1: the side, just against that Yankee lineup. They've been so
Speaker 1: red hot lately. Peralta at nine point seven is the
Speaker 1: best value. He's about five hundred dollars cheaper than Miles
Speaker 1: Michless and and he's cheaper than Cindergart too, So I'll
Speaker 1: just stick with Paralta on FanDuel tonight. The stacks of
Speaker 1: the night. I like the Dodgers, I like the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Angels, and I love Toronto. Tonight, in this matchup,
Speaker 1: all the Toronto shares will get to my home run calls.
Speaker 1: In a second lineup builders Julio Rodriguez is three point
Speaker 1: two on the DK machine. Jan Ya Pez, who I
Speaker 1: picked up in my home league this week. I couldn't
Speaker 1: believe I got him for like five bucks. I thought
Speaker 1: he was gonna I didn't think I was gonna get
Speaker 1: him because I've only put it in a five dollar
Speaker 1: bidjan Ya Pez three point six. Alec Thomas two point six.
Speaker 1: Alec Thomas also two point six on FanDuel went Maryfield
Speaker 1: still just two point seven, So here you go. FanDuel
Speaker 1: hasn't caught up yet to whit Maryfield, but I'm telling
Speaker 1: you it's time to keep investing. And glabor Tor is
Speaker 1: at two point six as well. On calls for the night, Welsh,
Speaker 1: where are you going? Who you calling your shot with?
Speaker 1: Who's going yard?
Speaker 3: I am going to go. I don't love I just
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's something about mondays. I don't particularly love how these
Speaker 2: Mondays roll out. But I am gonna go with mister
Speaker 2: Juan Soto, who has a little bit of a history
Speaker 2: against mister Akintari, hitting over three fifties, got a couple bombs,
Speaker 2: got good sample sizes.
Speaker 3: Give I don't think I've taken.
Speaker 2: One soda this year either, So I'm gonna go with
Speaker 2: a big dog, big name won Soto for my homern
Speaker 2: call for number nine, Remember nine.
Speaker 1: I like to see you get up to that double digits.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Vlad Junior tonight, Mike Mayer going
Speaker 1: the Xander bogartsis staying as a Homer tonight. Here's another
Speaker 1: suggestion too, from the Penis and Chrest.
Speaker 2: That's the one job P is the one in my mind.
Speaker 2: That's what that is your personal stack, because what do
Speaker 2: we have without and mayor a Joe b P WHLP
Speaker 2: for me, I might be the most fun welp.
Speaker 3: And what was Bogman's Dogman was about?
Speaker 1: Uh? The Bogman?
Speaker 2: That sounds like the bad bait like that girl, catch
Speaker 2: me outside? That sounds like Boman catch me outside baby?
Speaker 1: Well you could catch us tomorrow same play. Subscribe to
