Welcome in everybody to fantasy pros MLB.

0:08

This is leading off live brought to you by bet 365. It

0:10

is me Joey P. That of course

0:12

is the Welsh. Happy Monday everybody. Somebody's

0:15

got a case of the Mondays. I just

0:17

watched office space this weekend. So that's in

0:19

my head. It is so good. And

0:21

I finally saw idiocracy for the first time, which I

0:24

had never seen. I

0:27

had never seen it. And let me tell you,

0:29

it's scary that we're living

0:32

it. It's mostly 500 years in the future. It feels more

0:34

like 50 years in the future. It's one of the best

0:36

movies of all time. It really is. It's super relevant. And

0:38

of course, I think it's fun. Did you hear the croc

0:40

story about that, by the way, before we get into the

0:42

baseball? So I know I know

0:45

that I know how idiocracy came about. I

0:47

don't know about this croc story. Well, first

0:49

of all, they apparently told the costume

0:51

designer, hey, try to find like the dumbest outfits, the

0:53

dumbest things and the dumbest footwear that everybody's going to

0:55

wear. And at the time, there was this new product

0:58

called Crocs. And she thought that this was like

1:00

the silliest looking thing. And no one should ever

1:02

wear this. They're super comfortable with their ridiculous note.

1:04

But and you'll see them in the

1:07

movie throughout. People are wearing Crocs. I

1:09

don't think I recognize them. And I noticed it because I

1:11

saw the real a couple of weeks ago about this. And

1:14

sure enough, everybody's wearing Crocs in

1:16

there. And we're getting there. I

1:18

love it. My favorite part is I love when

1:20

they do. We do it as an ITL rejoin.

1:22

It goes, welcome to Carl's Junior. I love you.

1:24

Welcome to Carl's Junior. I love you. That's a

1:26

great. It's a great. My judge make more movies.

1:28

I mean, office space, idiocracy. Brilliant.

1:30

More my judge, please. I mean, come on. All

1:32

right. More baseball for all of you. The

1:34

peanuts in the cracker jacks hanging out in the

1:37

chat. Sorry for a little sojourn today. But

1:40

some fun stuff going on here because, as predicted,

1:44

my boy Joey Lopofito, how you

1:46

doing? You're enjoying the Astros on

1:48

Tuesday. Let's go to eighty

1:51

seven, three ninety three, seven, thirteen slash

1:53

thirteen homers, twenty seven, rubies, five steals.

1:55

The man can do it all. And

1:58

he's going to be a first place. first base

2:00

in front of Jose Abreu, who

2:03

again, I do not think is long for this

2:05

roster. So Welsh, we've been talking about

2:07

this for, I don't know, it seems like a

2:09

month now. And now it's finally happening. Your thoughts

2:11

on low Pofito getting the call. Josh

2:13

Perris It really does feel like it's been a

2:15

really long time. You know, as I mentioned last

2:18

week, I was ready to kind of like down

2:20

talk a tiny bit. And I've done my article

2:22

and then literally because because he had like an

2:24

eight day span where his average cut like 80

2:26

points and he had no homers and the strikeouts

2:28

were rising. But this is a

2:30

guy that barrels the crap out of the ball

2:32

way over 20% in AAA so

2:34

far this year, really good EVs. And then

2:37

over the last like five games, he's put

2:39

up three more homers. He got his average

2:41

back up to 287. He's walking double

2:43

digit percent of the percentage of the time

2:45

led the miners in the homers. He's

2:48

everything that you want, you know, out of like Jose

2:51

Abreu, who stinks who's hitting like under

2:53

100. He's not long for this.

2:55

I kind of been waiting to see if they

2:57

were going to cut a break. You know, you

2:59

thought that everybody's going to be gone gone. I

3:01

think he's coming. I do. I think he could

3:03

still stick around unless there's like an anger of

3:05

how this is going to happen. But Luperfido can

3:07

play in the outfield. He is been playing first

3:09

base. Watch the strikeouts. That's still

3:12

the thing I think you need to focus on

3:14

that could be of worry. But in

3:16

this place of like looking for massive production,

3:18

he can steal he can hit big homers.

3:20

He probably goes and hits six

3:23

or seven or something like that, which still could be

3:25

a decent RBI opportunity. He's a pickup. If

3:28

he slugs anything close to

3:30

500 and hits anything close to

3:32

245 or 250. I think you take that if

3:34

you're in the Astros, I think you're happy with

3:36

that. Like that's what you're looking for on that

3:38

spot. You just is literally a dead spot. If

3:40

you saw wonky here, a breu in Singleton collectively

3:42

17 for 113 no homers

3:45

and three RBI like literally anything is better right

3:47

now for the Astros. I think Singleton will be

3:49

the one that goes and they keep a breu

3:51

around unless there is a big like, you know,

3:53

I don't want to do this and I want

3:56

it to play every day type of thing from

3:58

a breu, a leadership type of thing. But

4:00

I think he could stick around, be kind of

4:02

a team leader off the bench in a Joey

4:04

Votto way in how it was treated last year

4:06

when CES and all those guys came up. So

4:08

that's how I see it. Remember Belde, more Astros

4:11

news. He won his return from the I.O. on

4:13

Sunday. You know, I forgot this weekend was the

4:15

Mexico City games. Had I remembered that, I would

4:17

have picked an Astro on Friday. I picked one

4:19

on Saturday. I went into the

4:21

Discord and I went into the Home Run channel

4:23

and I picked Jordan Alvarez on Saturday and I

4:26

got those two homers. But then I

4:28

don't know why I didn't go back on Sunday and pick one

4:30

when I should have. fantasypros.com/chat to get a

4:32

part of all of our awesome Discord stuff.

4:34

But I was able to get those two

4:36

homers in. Let's see if it got

4:39

me back on the board to come later in the show. By

4:42

the way, have we checked in on Jackson Holliday

4:44

since he got sent down? Oh, geez, I'm so

4:46

sad. I'm so upset. Boy, oh boy, things did

4:48

not go great for me. Do

4:50

you remember a guy being more red hot in

4:52

AAA and getting called up and being so stone

4:54

cold? I don't. I do.

4:57

I feel like I was so hype and hysteria

5:01

of a player. It

5:03

feels like Joe Adele is

5:06

the lowest of the tier compared

5:08

to what we've seen things

5:10

happen here with Jackson Holliday. It is pretty

5:12

intense. Maybe not to the... I

5:15

feel like there were a couple players that... The peak and valley

5:17

of it that's so stunning to me. Yeah, there were players that

5:19

had maybe a bigger high of excitement, but

5:21

I don't know if a player struggled and

5:23

played as bad in that run before being

5:25

sent down. So bad. So

5:28

bad. But some good news. Eric Fetty. Look

5:31

at this guy. Eight and a third innings. Struck

5:33

out nine guys. So good

5:35

news there against the Rays lineup too. So

5:37

White Sox have one pitcher, so that's nice.

5:40

Michael King. Oh,

5:42

man, just when we thought it was safe to go

5:44

out again with Michael King. Five and a third innings

5:46

against the Phillies. So it's a tough lineup. Six runs.

5:49

The strikeouts walk is still good. That's the saving

5:51

grace. 40 strikeouts, 21 walks. Okay. And

5:54

the 36 innings. I feel like the ship will get

5:56

righted. The ERA is five. The whip

5:58

is at 147. Would you be? buying

6:00

or selling Michael King right now? I

6:03

would probably just dump Michael King if Eric Fedi was

6:05

sitting out there at this point. Eric Fedi is a

6:07

28% K percentage, 6% walk rate on a bad team.

6:12

But my problems with Michael

6:15

King is just complete inconsistencies. The walks

6:17

are still a massive problem. He's got

6:19

an expected ERA that's over five. It's

6:21

actually worse than his actual ERA. And

6:23

he is giving up so

6:25

much contact, 11.9% barrel

6:28

percentage against. That's a picture against,

6:31

and that is a number if we would be

6:33

like, this guy could maybe be elite with an

6:35

almost 12% barrel percentage. Listen,

6:38

if I had the ability to kind of like

6:40

sit back and chill and get through the next

6:42

couple of weeks with Michael King, I would. His

6:44

change up is still elite, 41.5%. He throws

6:47

it second most of any. It's got an over 40% whiff rate.

6:49

It's elite, 23% whiff rate on the fastball.

6:52

That's still good, but he is inconsistent.

6:55

He's all over the board. So that

6:57

ends up being kind of like a spot starter.

7:00

So in leagues where there aren't a bunch of

7:02

options, nah, I'm going to hold on and maybe

7:04

not start King a starter too. In leagues where

7:06

there are just a lot of burn and churn

7:08

type of players, pitchers that are out there, yeah,

7:10

I probably would jump off that train, even though

7:13

I'm the biggest Michael King guy, but he's a

7:15

little dethroned right now. A little dethroned. Uh,

7:17

well it's, you know, it's a Monday. So, you

7:19

know, you might get occasion on Monday. I

7:24

was told that the last time when I passed it, I would

7:26

get the cake and I didn't get cake. Because Michael King,

7:29

what would you say you do here? Oh,

7:33

it's so good. It's so good. I can believe

7:35

you've never seen, uh, I don't like

7:37

Luke Wilson. That's

7:40

why I'm not, I'm not like,

7:43

I don't, I just, I think he's a crap actor. That's

7:45

Owen Wilson. I know, I know. I was just, I don't

7:47

like him either. I don't like it. I like Mookie Wilson.

7:49

That's the best Wilson. All their

7:51

Wilsons. Russell Wilson's no good. Luke Wilson,

7:54

Owen Wilson, not a fan of the Wilson. Although Owen

7:57

Wilson and Loki kind of redeemed himself a little for

7:59

me. Lightning questions I want to

8:01

do these quickly for the penis and

8:03

cracker Jack's the big dance great avatar to

8:05

you look at this would be a

8:07

little Debbie drop my little for low

8:09

perfido yes or no

8:12

oh that's tough big expected numbers

8:14

in favor of Michael Garcia he

8:16

is turning it around you know

8:19

what I think no but I get

8:21

why I think I could see as a

8:23

bench player than yes if

8:25

you start yeah I would say no good way

8:28

to say like I really want to see what

8:30

I want if I can be invested in the

8:32

loop rivito business I think I would because that

8:34

is a friendly ballpark there's a lot of lineup

8:37

protection out there I'm literally just worried about those

8:39

K's getting out of control but if they don't

8:41

you said he barrels the crap out of the

8:43

ball makes really good decisions at the plate and

8:46

the ball flies Michael Garcia has been playing down

8:48

though he's gonna light back up it's gonna do

8:50

this sorry sorry sorry it's it's close you know

8:52

worst Angelo want the Angelo wants to

8:55

know Torkelson 0.0 59

8:57

any hope left lol I

9:01

pick up low for veto here in

9:05

a smaller league like I think you could get off of it like

9:07

he's not gonna hit 0.5 9 all season

9:09

I think he'll bounce back for sure but

9:11

hope there's probably stuff

9:14

on the wire that you could move to in favor

9:16

of Torkelson all right one

9:18

more to get to here awesome

9:20

good performances we had Brendan

9:22

fought looked really good he was my big

9:24

by-law this past week 11 strikeouts

9:27

and six innings again the

9:30

on Sunday morning I talked about this on the

9:32

TV show too that his ERA and his expected

9:34

ERA work like a run different I was like look

9:36

this is your window it's gonna close real soon to

9:38

get fought and sure enough it closed by the afternoon

9:41

George Kirby over the weekend 12 strikeouts so feeling

9:43

good about those George Kirby shares for

9:45

Cy Young maybe starting to come alive

9:47

again Jordan Hicks very good huh recorded

9:49

a career high nine strikeouts over six

9:52

innings of one-run ball no decision

9:54

against the piracy was complaining though a little bit

9:56

about side tightness please Jordan Hicks can we not

9:58

have an oblique issue Please for the love of

10:00

God. Can we not do that? I would really...

10:03

Jordan Micks? Jordan Micks? Yeah.

to you last week. I thought

11:30

have fun with the fun things from the weekend. This

11:33

is episode 800 of Leading Off. I just wanted to

11:35

point out that it's a cool number. That

11:37

is. Number 800 for us. It's

11:39

very exciting here. That 800

11:42

of the baseball pockets are just of leading off.

11:44

This is just of leading off. Only of

11:46

leading off. There's probably over a thousand. But

11:48

for you, for me, this is cool because

11:50

I've been now a part of this, I

11:52

think more than half of Leading Off history.

11:55

Way more than half. I kind of have

11:57

an ownership of it now. But

11:59

Joe. is the OG Joe is the creator 800 strong

12:02

because of Joe Pizzapia. So just shout out to

12:04

you for 800 and you were here for all.

12:06

I want to, I want to thank my agent,

12:09

of course, first and foremost, always thank the agent

12:12

because, Oh no. Yep. Did Joe freeze

12:14

or did I freeze? No, I froze.

12:16

You know why? Because, uh, the, the,

12:18

the machines hate it when you say

12:20

nice things about it. I'm like, Joe's

12:22

amazing. It's so, Joe's like, work

12:27

anymore. That's what happened. Oh, sorry.

12:31

Yeah. Let's go make a lasagna instead. That's, let's go

12:34

do that. And so that we way better, but seriously,

12:36

fantastic by the way. I love the belt.

13:05

I want, and the plan we have

13:07

for 20,000. It's just

13:09

so good. 20,000 plans gonna be fun. Let's

13:11

just say it's in theme with the championship

13:13

belt. That's all I'm going to say. That's

13:15

the tease. That's what we're going to be

13:17

doing. 20 Ks around the corner,

13:19

just for fun. Wyatt Langford, his first career home

13:21

run, but it was an inside the Parker. That's

13:24

fun. That's just, that's amusing. Uh,

13:26

Jared Jones finally took a loss. Oh, three

13:28

runs and five innings. So he's human after

13:30

all. Logan Gilbert, no

13:32

decision, but nine strikeouts and six

13:34

to the third inning. Cy Young, Logan Gilbert.

13:38

Diamondbacks by the way, Diamondbacks don't strike

13:40

out. I think, uh, what did Kirby

13:42

have like 10 strikeouts in that game?

13:44

19 strikeouts. Well, Logan, 21

13:47

strikeouts between two and Ryan was working his way

13:50

back. So let me tell you, boys and girls,

13:52

it's time to be buying in Seattle. Look at

13:54

the Seattle market. It is completely ridiculous right now.

13:56

It's gone nuts. I want to say like the

13:58

Julio MVP thing is. Absurd right now.

14:00

I think it's like plus three thousand like just

14:03

do it. Just do it. Please Tylor

14:05

the deal Tylor the terrible by the way Check

14:08

out six and two innings of work for high a

14:10

Brooklyn So if Tylor is coming

14:12

back does Tylor get into the rotation

14:15

if so who gets bumped out

14:17

for the Mets? Is it how's er

14:19

is it butteau the booty man or

14:21

is Tylor gonna toil away in? Triple-a

14:24

instead no, I think the

14:26

booty man is first down. You know, it's

14:28

so weird I was ready to like the

14:30

sound of that I was ready to go

14:32

hard on the Christian Scott stuff after Adrian

14:34

Howser got banged around but then we had

14:36

them like essentially confirm like Oh Howser's rotation

14:38

spots all good It's just things we need

14:40

to end up going and working on so

14:42

no I think it's booty man is gonna

14:44

be out and we still have to wait

14:46

on on when we're gonna see

14:48

Christian Scott Why

14:51

can't we have our Scott and eat eat

14:53

it too like I don't understand why do we have why

14:55

can't we have Bhutto? Please don't make that AI please put

14:57

that in AI I'm not gonna

14:59

put it in AI. I'm not gonna do that We

15:03

have our Scott eat it too. I know I know

15:05

it's no There are so many things

15:07

too about you know, not the booty man and things

15:09

like that, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do

15:11

those Just I'm not gonna I'm worth of that today

15:13

that for Wednesday on the cleaning up when you're out

15:17

I won't be here for cleaning up by the way, so

15:19

I don't know what that's gonna be at work I don't

15:21

know how we gonna do that. I don't even know now

15:23

I got to figure that out. I make people so good

15:25

I feel so loved and wanted and needed when people

15:28

don't know how it's gonna work when I'm not there But you only

15:30

have to talk with Joe and Joe will be doing How

15:32

we're gonna record it though that I literally don't

15:34

know we they're taking care of it. So oh

15:37

they the people

15:40

people that you know with the

15:42

the electrolytes All

15:47

right, the Mariners are

15:49

going to option Jonathan class a to

15:51

triple-a so Well, will he

15:53

be back up in your opinion this year?

15:55

Yeah, I think so But I don't as

15:57

when he came up. I didn't really think it was something you needed

16:00

to pick up. I don't think it's going to be in

16:02

a place where it's going to make a ton of sense.

16:04

If anything, with the Mariners pitchers all

16:06

kind of coming back into place and the

16:08

Mariners kind of refining themselves a little bit

16:10

more, I really think they need to put

16:12

an emphasis on making a trade offensively. They

16:14

need some offensive upside. Klassé could be somebody

16:16

that they move in one of those trades.

16:18

But regardless of my point, I just don't

16:20

think Klassé is going to have big fantasy

16:22

and impactful stuff this year, whether he comes

16:24

back or not. So it doesn't really matter

16:26

to me. All right. I think

16:29

we might see angry Joe here because

16:31

I see a comment that

16:34

makes me a little upset. All right.

16:36

Oh, no. Razor Ramon says Buto

16:38

isn't good though. All right.

16:40

So let's just look at the numbers, shall

16:42

we? Can we just do that? We'll just

16:44

look at the numbers for Jose Buto. So

16:46

he's got a 286 ERA right now. We're

16:48

four starts, 22 innings. He's given up

16:50

just 12 hits in those 22 innings. And let's

16:52

not forget, one of those starts was against the

16:55

Dodgers. Okay. The walks

16:57

12 a little higher than you want it to be, but the strikeouts are there 25. The whip is

17:00

at 1.09. He's

17:04

got 10k per nine right now. I don't know.

17:06

What about those numbers are bad? Can I

17:08

just know? You explain to me like I'm

17:10

a five year old, that those numbers are

17:12

bad because those Michael King would

17:14

like those numbers right about now. He'd love for the ERA if

17:17

he said it 286. He is much better

17:19

than you realize he should be in the rotation

17:21

social Christians got Adrian House and Sean Manai. I

17:24

don't need those guys in my rotation. I don't

17:26

need I do agree with that. I don't know.

17:28

Buto is like, you know, lockdown keeper rotation spot

17:30

all year, but great. But he's

17:32

better than Hauser. And he's better. He

17:35

has a future potentially where his Sean

17:38

Manai is nothing but a stopgap kind

17:40

of guy. I got Joey's

17:42

a little Buto

17:44

hurt here. Yeah. Well

17:46

done. Let me tell you, I was fiery

17:48

on the cleaning up show last week. I

17:51

was. Yeah, I was all kinds

17:53

of sideways Matt. Let's do three up and

17:55

three down. Tanner house. Fantastic. Nine strikeouts for

17:57

him. How good is he been six? and

18:00

two-thirds. Dane Dunning one earned

18:02

five and a third strikeout ten lots

18:04

of strikeouts boy oh boy this weekend

18:06

holy hat where there's some high strikeout totals

18:08

I hope he had all the overs in strikeouts this

18:10

weekend. Bryce Sott had a pair

18:12

of two run dingers good for him.

18:15

Phillies won eight six over the Padres and

18:18

then three down Reed Detmer's struggled

18:20

five runs nine hits no bueno Taiwan Walker

18:22

kind of a weird debut for him you

18:24

got a win but it was really good

18:27

six runs eight hits and six and a

18:29

third not the best and Nolan Harenado big

18:31

fat over five there and that snapped his

18:33

25 game on

18:35

base streak so anything in the three up and three

18:37

down float your boat there Welsh? Not

18:40

Nolan Harenado he thinks it that's for sure

18:43

I like Reed Detmer's just overall this season any

18:45

I don't know anytime like we're still in this

18:47

early phase and we get you know any discounts

18:49

or something like that like if someone's just kind

18:51

of done with Detmer's this is good and I

18:54

know this could be annoying to people but this is you

18:56

know we only talked about a house a

18:58

little bit more Joe oh yeah we did and we did it

19:00

on the trade video I did it on the trade video we

19:02

did a great one our boy Tyler shout out to Tyler he

19:05

did this good one I had

19:07

this idea with but then I realized that all people

19:09

are gonna get annoyed my first video of the year

19:11

was you know hey Gunnar Henderson's hitting 200 you should

19:13

buy him he could be a first round talent and

19:15

then he had his ninth homer this weekend and I

19:17

told Tyler like that might be a fun video to

19:19

do and then every comment has just been okay but

19:21

how do you buy him I'm like go

19:23

back to when I said it he was hitting 200 and

19:25

it was you could get him as

19:27

a first round talent kind of thing about that

19:30

video too with the weird VHS looking date

19:32

or it was supposed to be like in the

19:34

past yeah is that Tyler's idea well no I

19:36

my idea was we show me talking and then

19:39

we do spongebob three weeks later and we show

19:41

him hitting he did the old tape stuff

19:43

and his is really old tape stuff was really

19:45

good shout out to Tyler on the old life

19:47

but the whole point was we did this on

19:50

Tanner Halk as well so you know cheap ridiculous

19:53

plug to one stranger things I like

19:55

that a lot it's very good all

19:57

right injuries biggest range things John means

19:59

finally I'm gonna fire my start. So

20:02

it looks like that's gonna be a good

20:04

thing for him. We'll see how

20:06

it goes. Seven scoreless innings, so Jon Means is

20:08

gonna be back in rotation. And Welsh, in

20:11

the month of May, Kyle Bradish looks to make

20:13

his next start in the major leagues. Are you

20:15

as surprised as I am about this? I

20:18

am surprised. Discounts galore. Hopefully he doesn't suffer

20:20

another injury and then it doesn't matter, but

20:22

this is a guy that was going outside

20:24

the top 200. You

20:27

know, Jon Means' return is really interesting as

20:29

well. And it kind of takes back to,

20:31

a guy I haven't really talked about, but

20:33

has been in my prospect article, Kate Povich

20:35

has been incredible for the Baltimore Orioles. And

20:38

he's in AAA right now. And there's just

20:40

no spot with Means and Bradish coming up.

20:42

And then that's gonna take away from other

20:44

really good guys like Albert Suarez. But yeah,

20:46

I'm extremely excited about Kyle Bradish and good

20:49

for anybody that got those discounts right now, at

20:51

least for now. Over under eight

20:53

and a half starts this year for Kyle Bradish. I'm

20:56

gonna be positive that Bradish is gonna roll

20:58

this. You're gonna be positive? I am. Who

21:00

is that? Well, is it the Welsh?

21:02

I'm going on a little mini vacay here. Literally when

21:05

the show is done, I'm rolling out. You're like, I'm

21:07

the only one gonna record cleaning up. I don't care.

21:09

I'm gonna be at the water park for two days.

21:11

I'm not editing. Are you bringing antibiotics with

21:13

you? Or you just have them like waiting for when you

21:15

get home? You wanna know the funniest thing ever, how I'm

21:18

gonna avoid those antibiotics? I'm gonna bring my Crocs. I'm gonna

21:20

bring some Crocs. So I'm not stepping on all the weird

21:22

stuff there. You're in the water, 5,000 people.

21:25

I don't care how many chemicals they put in there. Everybody

21:27

comes home sick two days later for the

21:29

water park. That's true. All right, well, I'll

21:31

be back. I'll be like, hey, just make

21:33

sure you, you should just schedule a doctor's

21:35

appointment on Thursday. Well, you just get ahead

21:37

of it. Like, I love the water park.

21:39

The water park is amazing. I'll do some

21:41

videos from the water park. I'll do, I'll

21:44

go down the slide. I'll do, maybe I'll answer

21:46

fantasy questions going down the slide and I'll tweet

21:48

them out. I've watched so

21:50

much. This

21:52

player's on his way down. Did

21:55

you, you wanna know a fun fact? Really, really

21:57

quick? I don't think I ever published

21:59

this. But. I. Recorded

22:01

the video of the announcement of being hired

22:03

by Fantasy Prose when I was at Great

22:05

Will Fly to have Great White Lodge and

22:08

I did but I don't think I played

22:10

ice hockey points rather developers have a you

22:12

want you want to know why was think

22:14

I'm going to do in Arizona that it

22:16

there's nothing else to do is close by

22:18

and also my kids are going hate it's

22:20

like they're going to be like too big

22:22

for it but they love it right now

22:25

so much as possible want to do the

22:27

things but there's something about fantasy prose or

22:29

where I was recognized that a great. What

22:31

the last time and doing my announcements, answer

22:33

some fantasy questions going down the slide and

22:35

if I fall off it's a cell. If

22:38

I stay on, it's a by a go.

22:40

Know. And Jones removed again from Sunday's game. Very frustrating

22:42

to the back I guess. Stiffen up on him again.

22:44

so I julie some of them put on the aisle

22:46

and I'm. I. Don't want on jones to

22:49

be hurt. I. Wonder if the back

22:51

is the reason we're getting what we've got. No

22:53

known Joan and if it is. A

22:55

She's Gone the I offered to for a couple weeks

22:57

year was his get healthy get right. Go.

22:59

On would have merriment and combat. Like.

23:02

You should be rooting for Know and Josie. Go on

23:04

the I'll. Just. Kind of forget April

23:07

hop and to shelve it. Take.

23:09

Two weeks off go to great wolf lodge com

23:11

assessed on I think with a nail into the

23:13

east. Come back. Get. Your six

23:15

days, a pack of antibiotics and then you're

23:17

on to. You know the next? Can we

23:19

get up adding prose odds? if I'm sick

23:22

or not by next Monday? let's get that

23:24

one of ours like of a minus. Six

23:26

hundred or guys get back to the houses.

23:28

The juices are that. Minus.

23:31

His eyes make him he lasted. Almost

23:33

settled on Bradley. Doing. With their

23:35

pectoral muscle he's gonna get my all agree

23:37

have sort on Sunday and doesn't get even.

23:39

I are so good He was so good

23:41

seven strikeouts, five innings he went out ride

23:43

out the shoots they gave up one hit.

23:46

it was vintage Taj Bradley Go pick him

23:48

up right now if he's sitting out on

23:50

the wire because we're going to be up

23:52

in that wrote a year and rosser percentage

23:54

of cause problems. When. Little out where

23:56

were you have unlimited site or never right

23:58

Jimmy the I Bradley. Let's say CBS where

24:00

you have to pay. Uh, you know. 38%!

24:04

38 is the number that came to my head. On

24:08

CBS. Wow!

24:12

You've never been that good before. That

24:14

is stunning! And my hands, like, free

24:16

hands. I didn't know this was coming.

24:20

I know you didn't. That's why I'm so impressive. The

24:22

Red Sox. Garrett Whitlock with the oblique is yet to

24:24

be cleared to throw off a mound. No kidding. Brian

24:27

Baio, however, with a lot, is making good

24:29

progress apparently. And he's going to be back

24:31

sooner than later, whatever the hell that means.

24:33

Thanks for the timetable, jackasses. Uh,

24:35

Paul's... I get fired

24:37

for the fun days. Paul's an evil.

24:39

I was actually really happy. All of a sudden, like,

24:41

I don't know. My dad drove. What's

24:43

your favorite Michael Bolton song? Oh,

24:46

they're all great. It's hard to pick. I

24:49

mean, I'll be big. I'll go by Mike. No,

24:51

I'll call you Michael. It's

24:53

such a perfect movie. It really is. It's

24:55

just so good. That guy's got Upper Management

24:57

written all over him. Uh, Paul Seawald, oblique.

24:59

I feel like we've been doing Paul Seawald

25:01

updates for like 60 years. It's going to

25:03

be like September. And it's

25:05

like when George RR Martin in South Park is

25:07

trying to order the pizzas for the kids, he's

25:10

like, pizzas are coming. Just wait. And

25:12

they never order the pizza. I feel like that's what we're doing

25:14

with Paul Seawald here. No. Another

25:16

bullpen session. Wednesday? Why? Like, what else are we waiting for?

25:19

Well, they wanted to slow it. They said they wanted

25:21

to slow it down because he was starting to feel

25:23

a little bit of soreness and whatever. Ginkle

25:25

did get the save on the weekend. I don't know.

25:27

I mean, it's probably another week until we see Seawald.

25:30

It was good to see that Ginkle got some of

25:32

the saves. I actually think there's a small chance. I

25:35

don't know if they will do it, but I think

25:37

there's a small chance that when Seawald comes back, maybe

25:39

they don't thrust him right back into that role with

25:41

how slow they're playing this and Ginkle finding himself. But

25:43

if we're being honest, it's probably going to

25:46

be cut Ginkle in, you know, 10 days or so. All

25:49

right. So Uncle Ted saying Robin

25:51

Hood theme song Michael Bolton. Like,

25:53

I thought everything I do, I do it for

25:55

you. That's Brian Adams. That's not Michael Bolton. I

25:59

don't even know what we're talking about. That. Is

26:01

what let's move on or any other out

26:03

like was is Kevin Costner Robin hood are

26:05

pretty I will have other day was repel

26:08

rose robbed and what sets I. Am

26:12

new to me that a

26:15

d the rather grow like

26:17

dark robbie daughter the the

26:19

Michael bones of smeared very

26:21

you know. Three

26:24

Hundred Town Russell Crowe Flying through much

26:26

of a God Russell Crowe love to

26:28

say maybe that will do at with

26:30

Robin with. A Michael Bolton Aca be no.

26:32

This. Is by far the best epigraph and

26:35

fun. Eight hundred hundred and it feels

26:37

like it occurs in yellow. It's as not.

26:39

resume swinging. Progress

26:42

has stalled again. In quotes that's

26:44

not good, a great gals was

26:46

overboard on sorry Just and steel

26:48

though. However, Will. Make A Marley! We

26:50

26:52

right direction. They're Welsh, You. Know it's I'm

so I will be can sustain this.

27:33

But. My goodness, Elida Liquors have had quite

27:36

the April and that was even with a

27:38

week that was bad. Makes. It even

27:40

more stunning how good the overall pictures of

27:42

his numbers have been. but good match of

27:44

today. A lovely drive in Iran today. Joe

27:46

Ryan of go to the Twins game here

27:48

against the White Sox over six and a

27:50

half gays minus one twenty a like that

27:52

one dude Joe Ryan other guy who's been

27:54

fantastic so far or the Minnesota Twins and

27:56

for the Phillies, this is the one I

27:58

like the most today. On the run lie

28:01

mine is one of the have plus was sixteen.

28:03

Get the Phillies your against Griffin Canning lefties are

28:05

hitting over three hundred against it with a nine

28:07

sixty O B S you got Schwab or that

28:09

lot of your Harper in that of you gawker

28:11

forgetting. oh seventy. All right he hasn't gotten out

28:14

the fifth inning all year long. so not only

28:16

to get group accounting for you to get the

28:18

meeting middle of the middle relief of the Angels.

28:20

So give me the Phillies on the run line

28:22

and. You. Want to have some fun

28:24

of the parlay of the day? Minnesota Twins

28:26

with Joe right on the mound minus one

28:28

of the half of that was one of

28:30

six, one line and Joe Ryan over. Minus.

28:33

Sick. Of you over six and a half

28:35

strikeouts at minus one Twenty, you could put

28:37

those two things together in the same game

28:39

parlay. And the get to twenty eight as

28:41

the override, strikeouts and the run line from

28:43

Minnesota my is one of the have a

28:45

plus one o' six Welsh. Well yeah for

28:48

the people. For the best of Monday's all

28:50

ominous, take the Minnesota here to use and

28:52

like he wanted and lay that in Minnesota

28:54

I have two hours with Thor. So.

28:56

Effort on a soda from last couple

28:58

nights here. While I like the July

29:00

and stuff you know. The

29:03

pitchers themselves hurt them hurt themselves

29:05

against such a bad offense in

29:08

Chicago, though. He lawyer is

29:10

healthy is and getting going and Tommy Pham

29:12

is back in Atlanta for makes the top

29:14

of the lamp a little bit more dangerous

29:16

but I like trying to back Joe Ryan

29:19

in some capacity. hear some going to the

29:21

first five from Minnesota to be up by

29:23

a runs would have a won run lead

29:25

after the fifth inning and that's even money

29:27

says plus one hundred someone to take that

29:30

scarecrow she's on the mound. I don't trust

29:32

care crochet anymore even though he has one

29:34

of the bigger a theory to expected differentials

29:36

positively in his favor he has been while

29:38

any their Harrys Ten. You know that have

29:40

a fairly well the I might have that

29:43

is actually like I'm in the tombs. Expected

29:45

he are A, but he has been wildly

29:47

inconsistent. Second inning. Specifically, Minnesota's on a big

29:49

power often, but Joe Ryan shuts down which

29:51

I like enough. I'm gonna back. Ryan Pepe

29:53

Oh today, Take Tampa Bay First Five Money

29:55

Line that three Six five. you can get

29:57

that at minus one. Ten is all about.

30:00

Cameo here and I'm not like a

30:13

three hundred. When. He gets his against clerk.

30:15

31:31

31:36

31:38

whole thing is great. Robin.

31:40

Hood. Disney. Probably

31:42

my favorite of Muhammad. who have they done? There's like

31:44

love is a million Robin has in there. Was that

31:46

we're over Jamie Foxx. A couple years ago there was

31:48

a Robin Hood among last all that one. We saw

31:51

him a call center one right with Alan Rickman. However,

31:53

that is likely that was a I G one.

31:55

that's when I grew up. He orders you've been

31:57

so weird because everybody has a British accent except

31:59

run. Hood, go get my partner's life. I may

32:01

32:27

work out Space Falls as my movie,

32:29

but that's high twenty talking about his

32:31

own. Disappointing, it doesn't hold up. The

32:33

suicide is eligible says and quite hold

32:35

up either. I would see how the

32:37

boreholes off for the homer last baseball

32:39

32:41

that. It's more of a movie show.

32:43

33:17

Right back to the gaff can. Griffin tanning.

33:20

And. Gimme the Schwab er Fest today. I

33:22

want all the towel schwab heat. I want the

33:24

schwab or home or actually know it. Now.

33:27

Know. What? Bryce Harper just had a kidney. right?

33:30

And was on the paternalist. Guys

33:32

have kids they come back and home run Derby,

33:35

Bryce Harper and Steps or it's Harper. Ever go

33:37

with the mojo of of the child being bored.

33:40

Bryce. Harper Instead of go back and forth let's

33:42

go with Bryce Harper, Woods or plus of the

33:44

bigger names. A little upset people. Whilst where you

33:46

going with your home i call the day I

33:48

do avoid Big Name allegedly rebooted good players to

33:51

hit home runs. Through. This and contest

33:53

dummy. As while I was

33:55

one ever done anything. although I'm gonna

33:57

go with a gun or Henderson he's

33:59

my. little base call. You

34:02

know, we'll see where you want to know a

34:04

more interesting one. Also from the betting side, Rhino

34:06

Hearn is plus money on total basis right now.

34:08

I was looking at Rhino Hearn this weekend. He

34:10

is exclusively right hand platoon. He has three at

34:12

bats versus lefties so far this year. He has

34:14

a higher expected batting average than his actual batting

34:16

average. He's crushing the ball everywhere. Big barrel numbers,

34:19

big hard hit numbers. He's just such a good

34:21

play up against the righty today. That might be

34:23

a fun total base play. Might be a fun

34:25

home run call if you don't want to have,

34:27

you know, good players, but I'm going to go

34:29

with Gunnar Henderson and the lead off spot is my

34:31

top guy for the home run call because Gunnar

34:34

usually does right by me. He

34:36

does indeed. All right. We got off on a good

34:39

foot here on the week. This was a very peppy

34:41

show. Number eight. Bye everybody. Thanks to everybody. Welsh is

34:43

going to go get the

34:47

stripped throat and do a couple of water slides and

34:49

then we back. I think the plus money play is

34:51

here. I'm going to stay healthy. I've

34:54

been way too sick at the beginning of

34:56

the year. I'm going to be good. Any

34:59

member of the Welsh family do not, there's

35:01

no way all four of you come back

35:03

healthy. I have a seven year old daughter.

35:05

She's perpetually sick. She's just always sick. That's

35:07

minus 12,000 for sure. When you check

35:11

out of the hotel, I feel like they should just give you,

35:13

it's like a mint on your pillow. It

35:15

should be like an antibiotic. It's not that bad. I put

35:17

the top dog mints going to be

35:21

here the next two days with Joey. So, you

35:23

know, love on these guys. Have fun and I

35:25

will miss you all, but I will see you

35:27

on Thursday. That's right. So Bogman will be here

35:29

next two days. Welsh go enjoy the time off.

35:31

That'll do it for us. But the story of

35:33

the game goes on for the Welsh. I'm Joey

35:35

P. We'll see you next time kids.

35:38
