0:16

me, Joey P. And look, it's well

0:18

cheese-mo or is it Conor McGregor? I

0:21

don't know. Oh yeah, brother. Oh,

0:24

look at him. He's ready to go. I don't see

0:26

Carlos in the chat yet. Carlos,

0:29

where are you there, brother?

0:31

We had the trolls in

0:33

the chat yesterday, Joe Pisa

0:35

Pizza. They were trolling the

0:37

Welsh saying that Brandon Fott

0:39

was a bad choice, but I

0:41

disagree because Brandon Fott did some

0:44

stuff. Brandon

0:47

Fott definitely did some stuff

0:50

yesterday. We got to get to that stuff. Oh, look,

0:52

you look good with the swoop. You know, you do

0:54

the Jimmy Neutron spiked hair, but look at you with

0:56

the hair kind of all down to the sides there.

0:59

Look at you. What a handsome devil. Oh,

1:01

I'm excited for today's show. Ladies and

1:03

gentlemen, I was very excited for today's

1:05

show. I'm taking over the open a

1:07

little bit because, Joe, what

1:09

happened yesterday at the end of the

1:11

show? If we could go, we could

1:13

go back. We had, we had the

1:15

troll jobs in the chat. And

1:18

what was it that I said when

1:20

everyone, you bring it back, bring it

1:23

back. Not Brandon Fott didn't go out and have a

1:25

no hitter, but guess what? I got a little piece

1:27

for everybody here. What did I say was going to

1:29

happen? We were going to have a little

1:31

bit of Conor McGregor. We were

1:34

going to have a little bit of a

1:36

big open. And would you look at this right

1:38

there? Oh, get that comment. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

1:40

I was going to get all the praise from

1:42

the chat. I was trying to get in there.

1:44

Go ahead. Six innings, four hits,

1:46

two earned runs, seven strikeouts with

1:49

one walk against the Dodgers. And

1:52

let's be remind, let's be reminded

1:54

from Carlos's comment. But if

1:56

you want to lose points, listen to the Welsh

1:59

and go ahead and pick up. Brandon Fott. Well

2:01

who's dancing now baby? Look

2:04

at that bad boy. Well in all fairness I

2:06

supported you. I was team Fott. I said yes

2:08

I'm absolutely starting him against the Dodgers. He's earned

2:11

that. He's got my respect. He's a good enough

2:13

starting pitcher to go out there against anybody. I'm

2:15

leaving him in my he's earned the leaving him

2:17

in my lineup unless he's on a bad streak

2:19

two starts in a row but you

2:22

know it's funny I still I don't know if he's here

2:25

but he's not active in the chat yet

2:27

and it's okay because we own our L's

2:29

here on the show and we also own

2:31

the successes. That's the fun of fantasy baseball.

2:34

Supposed to be fun and that's what

2:36

we're trying to bring here is the fun. But the trolls

2:38

I'm not gonna stand for the trolling

2:40

especially the nonsense trolling but here's the

2:42

good news Carlos and

2:44

I had a little heart to heart earlier

2:47

your name was chosen. They're so good I

5:24

do Michael, Let's get this a baseball. Enough

5:26

trash talking. Ah, and I'm glad Carlos at

5:28

least came to use a brain fart was

5:30

a lead headline today. I was about Rangers

5:32

War is. The. Train. It never stops

5:34

enough. I got to admit. I was

5:37

watching a game last year were rangers wars was

5:39

pitching against the Mets. And. I remember.

5:41

You know, run darling and he

5:43

fernandez. Are. Elite level with. Derek.

5:46

on like that they're they're trio of announcers

5:48

is so good were so blessed and god

5:50

because med space was a frustrating to watch

5:52

at least listening to it is palpable and

5:54

palatable ah but the rangers were i started

5:56

talking about the things that he was doing

5:59

is a really What he's doing this guy's

6:01

really close to being special and you

6:03

know what they were right He is now 9 and

6:05

0 with a 1 3 6 ERA 5 hits 7

6:07

innings 1 run struck out 10

6:09

walk just to Ranger

6:11

Suarez is an elite Ranger. Is that a

6:13

hot take or is he in that like,

6:16

where do you have him rest of season?

6:18

I just know you redid your rankings on

6:20

past your bros calm. Where is he because

6:23

I know the 1 3 6 ERA is not gonna hold

6:25

but holy crap, man, if he's not in the top

6:27

15, I think we're doing it wrong. I Don't

6:30

have well, I don't have him in the top

6:32

15. Yeah, he definitely belongs in that territory So

6:34

some numbers on him one three seven

6:36

ERA 2.31

6:38

expected ERA ma Really

6:41

low hard-hit numbers bottom six percentile of

6:43

the league ma high K percentage High

6:45

visits highest of his career lowest walk

6:47

percentage of his career and we saw

6:49

a big pitch change mix change

6:51

And actually what's really weird about it, too is

6:54

he went even a higher sinker

6:56

percentage Which that usually is not like

6:58

a strikeout pitch You went from 28

7:00

to 33 percent of the time thrown

7:03

this year while throwing it with

7:05

less velocity But then it was

7:07

more curveball it being really actually

7:09

like a lowered foreseen Number

7:12

and the curveball has put up monster numbers.

7:14

He's had really great command. He's been super

7:16

super consistent He's been one of the better

7:18

pitchers in the league this year. I'd say

7:20

he falls into that Top

7:22

25 area, but but let me

7:24

ask you this then if you're saying we're doing it

7:27

wrong if Rangers is top 15 guy You

7:29

know what? I'm gonna ask if he's not a

7:31

top 15 guy Ranger schemes them Ranger

7:33

I'm gonna have him in August and September both

7:36

keys is not pitching in September first folks I'm

7:39

sorry, like he's just not I I

7:42

know that the the pitcher pirates are fun and

7:44

they're in there You know, it's fun

7:46

to see fun things happen and Jones has been great

7:48

and Mitch Kenwors pitch better this year but

7:51

two things have to happen number one the pirates have

7:53

to be consistently good throughout and Keep

7:56

pace with the Cubs keep pace with the

7:58

Reds even and some other teams in that

8:00

division, right? And maybe the Cardinals have a little bounce back

8:02

in them. They got a lot of veterans on

8:04

this team. They're starting to, I mean, I know there are a

8:06

little run here. We mentioned, I saw people talking about the chat,

8:08

but I got to say

8:11

like, I'm looking at the stats right now, you know,

8:13

for the pitching on MLB, I'm just going to going

8:15

through Ranger Suarez is second in

8:17

ERA right now, only behind show to show

8:20

ta even up is

8:22

in terms of struck out walk rate. He's right

8:24

around there in terms of whip to just for

8:27

the qualifiers. He's behind only Tariq school, who has

8:29

a point seven eight whip. He's a point seven

8:31

nine whip batting average against. I'm just

8:33

looking for him. He is number two. So he's

8:35

number two in ERA batting coverage against and whip

8:37

right now. Well, I'm sorry. Like

8:39

he demands that king. I think rest of

8:41

season for now, you can change it June

8:43

30th. But

8:45

right now I think he's got to be up

8:47

there. Yeah. And I'm looking to it is like

8:49

the overall heat map, like pretty blatantly. There's one

8:51

thing. Oh, wow. It won't be here in September

8:53

either. I can't help it. I have chances and

8:56

they tell me to do things. So I have

8:58

to do it. That almost might we might have

9:00

to hit up the bosses to get a little

9:02

store gift card for that comment. That's comment of

9:04

the year to Joe drops. You know how we

9:06

talked yesterday about

9:10

like the over unders and local and localized fantasy

9:12

pros bets. Who's here September 1st

9:14

Paul schemes or Joe Pisa Pia. Who's

9:17

gone first? Who's gone first from MLB? I

9:20

love that. That's not

9:22

a really good one. Put that up in the poll. All

9:24

right. Yeah, let me get. Yeah. You know

9:27

what? If you are. Yeah. If one of you guys have

9:29

wonky or mayor is here, put it up because I don't

9:31

have the YouTube up. Well, whoever's fancy rose MLB right here.

9:33

Yeah. But visit was a jizz. It definitely came in from

9:35

the top rope there. That's a good one. The only thing

9:38

I wanted to add with rain break. There's

9:40

kind of an obviousness. Really

9:42

well located. Fastballs can make secondaries better.

9:44

Secondaries can make fast. You know, so

9:46

it's like it's the primary set up

9:48

pitch. So he sets up using the

9:51

sinker for seem to make the

9:53

curve ball change up more effective pitches. And that's

9:55

happened in droves this year. I mean his change

9:57

up with percentage. I think the width percentage is.

10:00

highest of any pitch on the

10:02

change up. It went last year from 31% to 40%. But looking

10:04

at the heat map

10:07

of how he's throwing, he's got that change

10:09

up hitting way more of the zone, the

10:12

fastball has moved down a little bit in

10:14

the zone, and the sinker is just hitting

10:16

the corners. So I mean, commanding that fastball

10:18

has made the secondary so much better. You

10:21

look at the profile and you go, all right, well, what's

10:23

the thing that's going to fall apart, and it's just going

10:25

to be consistency because, you know,

10:28

you're if they're already not squaring up

10:30

those fastballs, great, and the secretaries are working

10:32

great. The only thing that's going to fall apart

10:34

is him being inconsistent, and nothing is telling us that right now.

10:36

So you know what, you might not

10:38

be wrong. I don't know if it's top 15. I

10:40

definitely think top 25 is in

10:42

the realm of possibility for Ranger. Great

10:44

question from JJ in the chat. So what you're saying,

10:46

Joe is if you have schemes, you trade them now,

10:48

should I trade them for Suarez? Ah,

10:51

I think yes. I'll be honest

10:53

with you, even though I know Suarez is going to

10:55

regress, the schemes

10:57

injury quotient is extremely high at the velocity

10:59

pitches. We have to take that into account.

11:02

Now, again, this is redraft only, obviously, this

11:04

is not a keeper league, not a dynasty

11:06

scenario. If I'm playing straight redraft, especially head

11:09

to head formats where there's playoffs, I

11:11

want Suarez because Suarez was the place where the Phillies

11:13

and the Phillies are going to be competitive in August

11:15

and September. They are a playoff team. They're locked in,

11:17

in my opinion, they're my pick to go to the

11:19

World Series this year and actually win the World Series

11:21

this year. So I'm in your

11:24

thoughts here on this trade. He looks like from your face,

11:26

you're not loving it as much as I am. I'm not

11:28

like I said all that

11:31

stuff about Rangers for is, but then I'm like, all

11:33

right, there's always been like a relatively low

11:35

strikeout guy. His walks have been a lot

11:38

higher. Like there is probably going to be

11:40

some regression that's going to play in. But

11:42

here's the deal. Have you to look

11:44

at the thing? It's like a high two ERA guy. And the strikeouts

11:47

come down a little bit. I think his limit,

11:49

like you think type 15, I think his ceiling is

11:52

like in the top 20, 25

11:55

schemes. His ceiling is top 10.

11:57

The only thing that is literally holding us back. At

12:00

this moment is like if the only pitch is

12:02

150 innings, which does seem more likely I

12:05

just feel like from a week in a week out in

12:07

here for Ranger Well 10 like that's a

12:09

third of the year. Yeah, but we also have a career.

12:11

We have a career behind us That's been like fine. You

12:14

know, I mean last year what he a four one

12:16

eight ERA 365 the year

12:18

before that I'm 28 it's not like

12:20

he's 33 and all of a sudden doing this out

12:22

of nowhere. It's 28 This is like a natural progression

12:24

of a guy who's figuring it out and also let's

12:26

all let's not forget Historically

12:29

speaking the lefties tend to figure it out a little later

12:31

than other people Okay, then

12:33

here'd be the other thing I'd say he's

12:35

never pitched over a hundred and fifty five

12:37

innings in his career Rangers No,

12:40

no, I agree agreed. So would

12:42

a hundred and eighty innings of

12:46

Ranger Suarez a little bit of this better version be

12:48

better than a hundred and fifty of Paul schemes I

12:51

would think Paul schemes from a counting

12:54

stats strikeout perspective that

12:56

boosts you up so much more But Ranger may

12:58

have a better chance at wins and if that

13:00

ERA holds he's gonna win that I'm just saying

13:02

like if there's a 30-40 any gap, I don't

13:05

know that Ranger is hands down better. That's not

13:07

what I'm trading schemes for I'm trading schemes for

13:09

dumb stuff for stupid people that want to make

13:11

stupid ass moves Those are the ones I want

13:13

to target fish him in reel him in I

13:15

think it's a stupid ass move to get Suarez.

13:18

I think it's pretty stupid. They're amazing I I'm

13:20

gonna say this to you if you're in and again, this is

13:22

very like Gamesmanship

13:25

be But schemes is gonna have

13:27

difficulties with wins because of pitch counts, you know

13:29

getting through if they're doing stuff like that If

13:32

you are in roto formats or head-to-head roto,

13:34

whether it be quality starts and or wins

13:37

Suarez is a better guy now in head-to-head

13:39

points You want to take the 12k upside

13:41

on a daily basis of schemes? I get

13:44

that because that's you're locking in 24 points

13:46

right there and a two-point strikeout league and

13:48

I get that but Gotta

13:51

remember the downside This

13:54

is the best Rangers Suarez conversation is

13:56

gonna happen all day anywhere else but

13:58

only one You know Ranger

14:01

Suarez or this guy Brandon fought with

14:03

behind him and no I'll take I'll

14:05

take Welsh McGregor over all of them

14:08

It's a pretty good look tattoos. I'm I know

14:10

I've been working out look at me. You look

14:12

great I got a look at it doesn't look

14:14

photoshopped at all. Can we tweet

14:17

that out too? We got to get that up

14:19

on that Yeah, we got in it ask Tyler

14:21

to put that in an Instagram story That's an

14:23

Instagram story if ever there was one like come

14:25

on agree. I'm very pro me on that body

14:27

for sure They

14:30

look I bet your wife is too. I bet

14:32

you prefer that. Yeah Facial

14:35

ever what you could grow whatever beard you want if I

14:37

can have you Greg your facial hair if I was looking

14:39

like That yeah for sure and probably but anyway a bunch

14:41

of people at two home runs last night Welsh

14:44

was not one of them Kyle Tucker Bobby

14:46

wit and Ezekiel Tovar two solo dingers for

14:48

him All right. Let's do some fun stuff

14:50

He was in the trade video last week

14:52

new trade videos already in the can is

14:54

gonna get Released pretty soon here a little

14:56

earlier than usual my mom gave her two

14:58

for five Two runs scored continues

15:00

to hit the top of that order I just

15:02

picked him up my whole league because it's a 15

15:05

team league But he's still available somehow floating around there

15:07

and I need outfield help because why Nolan Jones at

15:09

a setback Oh, so I thought he'd

15:11

be back and Luis Matos who's in the social

15:13

waiver wire video. He is roster and 50% of

15:15

leagues He was hitting third Tuesday

15:17

against the Pirates. These are little tiny things to

15:20

mention that I think are useful Welsh

15:22

what do you make of that move of Matos to the three

15:24

hole you like it? I love it Absolutely.

15:27

Love it. We talking we think we talked

15:29

about him the other day like the like

15:31

he's coming in relatively hot good batting average

15:33

Hard-hit numbers are there. He showed off

15:36

in the Arizona fall league and he's a solid

15:38

contact guy who could run So if you're gonna

15:40

give me him in the three hole this year,

15:42

we're gonna move from like yeah Decently

15:44

solid fifth outfielder and in a 12 team

15:46

to like no Maybe he is getting into

15:49

that must pick up range if he gets

15:51

to consistently hit three, that would be huge

15:54

Yeah. All right. Let's get to while you

15:56

little rookie looking mark Vientos to four by

15:58

the Homer. That's good because. Beatty.

16:00

Can't hit at all so I really don't

16:02

care. Three up and three down Mason Miller

16:05

suck out all three guys that we face

16:07

yesterday now against the Rockies. Would Still, I

16:09

don't care. It's the first savor the month

16:11

though. that was the most. Surprising.

16:13

Thing to me. A

16:15

his age are going to a if we

16:18

had a job. we had this conversation on

16:20

ice. yeah we we did. Like a big

16:22

closer talk and you've got like a manual

16:24

cloth. Same who you know. It's like that

16:26

the tippy tippy top bunch of saves you

16:29

got Clay Holmes. Who. Dot has not

16:31

given up on run this year, knock

16:33

on wood and then comparing against like

16:35

a Mason Miller. At. How do

16:37

you rank Mason Miller nine when going to a big

16:39

thing here? But like. Miller. This

16:41

is a prime example of why he can't

16:44

be the number one number one stuff is

16:46

nice and Miller but you can't because of

16:48

what for Save in May and it's the

16:50

twenty second day like this is his ultimate

16:52

problem If you're in that Save market unless

16:55

you the A were to get treated which

16:57

I don't think he would be. well you

16:59

looking at where he is right now on

17:01

the big giant sail board he is tied

17:04

for a lemon civilly with nine. So with

17:06

a seventeen that's over seventeen. Keep her nine

17:08

right now. some it's the most a seems

17:10

absurd strike. Out guys, it's just he's not

17:12

stalking and the saves lives in a similar

17:15

guy. the way has forty one strikeouts that's

17:17

twice as much as a manual class A

17:19

who's of the top of the say border

17:21

fifteen. Is a friend that you've

17:24

got twenty four? Strikeouts are nearly twice like that's

17:26

that's kind of. that's curry curry. So.

17:28

He has basically laughing the field only in

17:30

a lot about. How. Many ah, twenty

17:32

five innings for Class A with twenty four

17:34

strikeouts would just. Keep. an eye that are

17:37

you want me to miller twenty innings forty

17:39

one strike to i just i happen to

17:41

have the separate now worth of ranger suarez

17:43

sixty six innings sixty eight strikeouts are just

17:45

getting like a perspective of innings to the

17:47

che per nine on paper nine is where

17:49

you want to be that's where you want

17:51

to live a closer you wanted to be

17:53

a little higher than that and his is

17:55

a little higher than that was says bush

17:57

has put out there are aren't let's get

17:59

to more ops, Joe Ryan, uh,

18:02

six K's seven innings. Good job. W

18:04

over the NAF Brian. Pitch

18:08

six scoreless innings struck out seven

18:10

for the win against the Yanks,

18:12

uh, three down Christian Javier thought

18:15

we'd get back on track. We did not bad

18:17

Joe. That's okay. I'll take it. I take the

18:19

heat eight hits, four runs. I saw

18:21

somebody in the chat asking 10 team league, you

18:23

drop Javier. Would you drop Javier? And

18:26

10 team league, I'll bet you there is, I

18:28

would probably rather stream than hold on to Javier.

18:30

Yeah. Wow. Okay. Casey my six

18:32

earned runs, nine hits and inning at

18:34

a third, not a good day

18:36

at the office for him and Adrian Houser. Tony,

18:39

I know a lot of people drop. Buto is one

18:41

of the most dropped guys, right? But between

18:43

yesterday's Senga news, we have more Senga update

18:45

coming in a second there, but Adrian Houser

18:47

again, his ERA is over seven. It's nearly

18:49

eight, six more earned runs for him. Gross

18:53

enough, enough. I don't need to see Adrian

18:55

Houser anymore. Welsh give

18:57

me the booty man. I want the booty

18:59

man back. Anybody else? They got another

19:01

guy in the minors that I think you're going

19:03

to see at some point this year, I think

19:06

he might've just got pushed up to triple a

19:08

blade Tidwell. Uh, that would be a

19:10

guy that I think could jump. I mean, how

19:12

many like young related to the odd Tidwell from

19:14

Jerry McGuire. No, I

19:16

don't think it would happen if you were good

19:19

in junior, by the way. I think he was

19:21

so famous for like a year or two after

19:23

that movie. And then like, I feel

19:25

like he did a bunch of straight to video stuff after

19:27

that. I think he did a bunch of not good stuff

19:29

either. So I think that might be part of his problem.

19:31

I think, yeah, I think it was a great performance though.

19:33

I will just separate out terrific performance.

19:35

A lot of bad people have great performances. So

19:37

this is true. This is true. I was an

19:39

actor after all, just think about all the terrible

19:41

things I've done. Yeah, horrible

19:43

human. Just the worst. All right. Let's get to

19:45

the injuries. There's a lot of them. Joe Musgrove,

19:48

two runs, no earn three hits and three innings.

19:50

So they were saying basically, Hey, we just wanted

19:52

him to give us these innings at the major

19:54

level. Okay. I'm fine with that. So you

19:57

got out unscathed things look good. I'm in.

19:59

Let's go. The Mets were talking

20:01

about Sengo said that he's resumed playing light catch.

20:04

So I'm not sure so well That's

20:07

like have a catch. That's having a catch. That's

20:09

having a good what is light catch? Is

20:11

that like diet catch is that like the ball

20:13

of lighter? Sugar-free catch. What

20:16

does that mean light catch? That's

20:18

just like this the kind of time It's like having a catch

20:20

with dad. I think that's what it is. What is somebody watching

20:22

him saying? No, no, no That's too heavy

20:25

too heavy ball catch light lighter Or is

20:28

it I'm what are you I'm still here wants

20:30

to deal with a light? I can't Why

20:36

do you have to go to like catch can't just be a catch Yeah,

20:39

I think in throwing why do you think I think they want

20:41

you to know that it was there's also So

20:43

he also like heavy petting is like catching Yep

20:48

You got me. You got me light

20:51

petting. That's what this was. It was I'm

20:54

good. Let's move on like Aaron got

20:56

it in the chat heavy catch. Do

20:59

you even lift bro? but

21:01

also like by the way fire today, there's

21:04

high intensity throwing like guys will take the

21:07

Like a hacky sack against like the wall and

21:09

you'll have like high intensity throwing it was just

21:11

probably just light tossing Yeah, I

21:13

know but why I've never heard the Light

21:16

I've never heard the phrase like catch before I

21:18

know I've also like Buster said I've always hated the have

21:20

a catch I've never been like you want to know you

21:23

play catch. Yeah, you just you want to throw the ball Yeah,

21:25

I was gonna say you want to go throw or you want to

21:27

have a catch. I never say Yeah,

21:30

see I think I did say have a catch actually.

21:32

No, I mean, I think I said them all

21:34

off Maybe I'm just annoying which is no against the

21:36

East Coast thing I've now I never heard that term into

21:39

lighting Maybe that's what it is That's like a like the

21:41

grocery stores that I don't know that exists in other places

21:43

and everyone got everyone got mad at me When I didn't

21:45

know it when Menards was and I was like, what do

21:47

you mean? Actually just saw this

21:49

like Instagram video that we're getting a Bucky's

21:51

here and I've no I don't know I

21:54

heard about that bucket I heard of that

21:56

anyone like near my house. So All

21:58

right more stuff here Austin Riley not

22:00

in the lineup yesterday against the Cubs again. This

22:02

is not good. I think a week straight Yeah,

22:05

I'm like, what are we doing here? Put them on the aisle? What

22:08

are we doing? This is crazy. Royce Lewis

22:11

is gonna be running the bases again That's

22:14

important here like old a light run a light

22:16

run a light running Garrett

22:18

Cole did face hitters yesterday 22 pitches.

22:21

We don't know if they're lighter heavy. They just threw 22 pitches Luis

22:24

Robert Was gonna play five innings

22:26

today So we'll keep an eye on that that if

22:28

you guys have innings today in the field chances are

22:30

he's gonna be activated by the way Guess what? This

22:32

guy's gonna be there. I'm going. Oh, really? Oh, yeah,

22:35

down the street. It's gonna be here in the Camelback

22:38

Ranch, so I'm gonna be down there. I will

22:40

have some film for you guys. Follow me at

22:42

is it the Welsh? No big deal I'll just

22:45

be walking on in and getting my video of

22:47

Connor and I'll share it with I love that

22:49

you only go to Places like great wolf lodge

22:51

and cattleback ranch. I get everything seems very grandiose.

22:53

I'm about your ranch salt River fields. Yes Chris

22:59

Brian is activated in case you care John Gray

23:02

was removed yesterday. Unfortunately right groin tightness So

23:04

that's not good, which is sad because grades I

23:06

get I feel like we should do a

23:08

segment called Grey's Anatomy with all the Injuries he's had over

23:10

the years because every time you've got John Gray going in

23:12

the right direction something

23:15

happens and it just stinks

23:17

Sean Murphy, you know bleak Issue

23:20

he's coming back here homeward yesterday in

23:23

the minor league rehab started triple-a Aloya

23:25

Menes though Unfortunately another injury for him

23:27

left hamstring again Bobby Miller facing hitters

23:29

yesterday in a simulated game Max Muncie

23:32

resumed baseball activities Which I can only

23:34

assume is light throwing and then we

23:36

have Nolan Jones pausing because of nice

23:38

orness But apparently the MRI was clean peppios

23:41

back today that put some peppio in my

23:43

step, but Brooks Ray Lee Unfortunately

23:45

is gonna undergo Tommy John surgery. Well, that's a

23:47

lot of injuries. What do you think? I don't

23:49

like yesterday like what the hell we have more

23:52

injuries than positive news Some

23:55

of them were positive at the end of

23:57

the day. I mean, I guess if Robert plays tonight, that'll be

23:59

good Yeah, yeah, that's good play

24:01

great. You know what else is good. You know

24:04

what else is fun Making bets and it's

24:06

what day? Oh, it's Wednesday. That means it's

24:08

it's time for the best bets of the

24:10

day with Joey P And the Welsh make

24:12

24:15

24:23

in Kentucky gambling problem Call one hundred

24:25

gambler or 1-800 bets off in Iowa

24:27

terms and conditions apply not a great

24:29

day yesterday for me I'll let

24:31

Welsh handle his own business. But for me, we're back

24:34

on the horse again Good pitching

24:36

matchup here with Kansas City in Detroit I'm

24:38

gonna go the under in the seven and

24:40

a half here on the total and minus

24:42

125 everything I like today has a

24:44

little extra juice So you might want to go

24:46

from that one unit to two units to make up

24:48

for it or just pick one thing you like The

24:51

most and go hard at it to me Detroit and

24:53

KC again with school on the mound has been so

24:55

prolific We talked about the ERA

24:57

the only guy better than Suarez and everything's been school

24:59

basically everyone wants to talk about great school Is well,

25:01

we got to talk about how great Rangers Juarez is

25:04

too. It's only fair Over

25:07

eight and a half K's I know eight

25:09

and a half is usually my I'm out number But

25:11

with glass now he's been nine or more in the

25:13

last few starts I'm gonna go over against the D

25:16

backs today again. The juice is heavy though minus 140

25:19

Jose Quintana, he's the gift that keeps on giving

25:21

he stinks to I want him out of the

25:23

rotation for the Mets along with Adrian How's her

25:25

I'm gonna go over the two and a half

25:28

earned runs again. The juice is expensive minus 135

25:31

So how do we get this minus juice into

25:33

positive? I'll tell you how little same

25:35

game parlay give me the Dodgers on the run line

25:37

minus one and a half Along with the Tyler glass

25:40

now over seven and a half strikeouts You can get

25:42

it seven and a half on some other spots you

25:44

get it at plus 180

25:47

that's your same game parlay of the day

25:49

for Wednesday Welsh. What do you have on

25:51

the betting side in MLB today? Yeah, I

25:53

got to turn it. I had a stank

25:55

day. Yes. It was yesterday. No bueno So

25:58

go with what you love and I love

26:00

me some Jared Jones. Pirates going

26:02

up against the Giants. Blake Snell's

26:04

returning. Blake Snell, maybe

26:06

we'll get to that old Blake Snell,

26:08

but this season when he was in

26:10

games, he was the gift that kept

26:13

on giving. So give me Jared Jones

26:15

with the Pirates first five money line

26:17

minus 130. So through the first

26:19

five innings, again, this bet is on Blake

26:21

Snell getting hit up a little bit. Jared

26:23

Jones shutting the Giants down. So I'm playing

26:25

the money line at minus 130. Atlanta,

26:28

Atlanta, Max Fried is on the mound going

26:31

up against Justin Steele. Justin Steele has been

26:33

a little bit over the last couple of

26:35

games, my good friend. So I'm going to

26:37

go with Atlanta on the money line through

26:39

the first five. That's minus 125. Hell, I

26:42

might even parlay those two together.

26:44

And then finally, Freddy Peralta, a

26:47

lot of strikeout options today. And

26:49

Freddy's been a little bit dicey,

26:52

but big chase rates equate

26:54

to big strikeout numbers for Freddy Peralta. And

26:56

that's what he's got in his matchup

26:59

today. So I'm going to take the over on the six and

27:01

a half strikeouts at minus one 15. So

27:04

Pittsburgh Atlanta on the money line first

27:06

five, Freddy Peralta on the strikeouts over

27:08

those are my three bets today. Don't

27:10

know, actually, I might take your advice.

27:13

In the, I don't know if I'm going to add

27:16

a whole lot more in that I might go a

27:18

little bit heavier on the juice. But if you want

28:18

time to get to the home run board and I'll tell

28:20

you what man that boy Pazzi

28:22

cannot be stopped at 19 I'm

28:25

still hovering at 16 didn't get any home runs yesterday

28:27

I was worried that this board was gonna get out

28:29

of control with all the two Homer days But it's

28:31

not that crazy. Although I do see some people have

28:33

jumped up into that 14 spot So

28:36

that is very exciting now. I don't think

28:38

we have the wheel today Welsh. I don't

28:40

see the wheel I come I got very

28:42

if you if you didn't recall from earlier

28:44

in the show, which by the way No

28:46

sign of Carlos. I got inundated with another

28:48

project. I was waiting for Carlos, you know,

28:50

he said he was gonna show up today Good

28:53

he said he was excited. Hey didn't my bet

28:55

sucked yesterday. I still showed up to the show

28:58

now granted It's my job. I have to but

29:00

still if you're gonna bring the smack

29:02

talk You gotta be ready for the medicine to on

29:04

both ends You gotta do I got a little bit

29:06

lap or the walk of shame my morning I had

29:09

a choice in one hand was

29:11

creating the home run wheel. The

29:13

other hand was going hard in

29:17

Was going and getting massive amounts of

29:19

art made and cutting videos and Only

29:22

just so I could speak to one

29:24

person who trolled so I chose Petty

29:26

as I usually would and will always

29:28

do I chose petty so I don't

29:30

have the home run wheel today, but Fear

29:34

you not. I don't get home runs So if

29:36

I don't have a home run we can do

29:38

it tomorrow and we can even do it Friday

29:40

And like I said, maybe we'll even put listeners

29:43

on there. So I'm going with a chalk play

29:45

today Okay, I suppose even though he hasn't

29:47

had a whole bunch of homers. Give

29:49

me Ronald Acuna Give me Ronald Acuna

29:51

Justin Seale has been a little licey getting hit

29:53

hard a little bit Give me a guy at

29:55

the top of the lineup I'm gonna go with

29:57

Ronald Acuna to get me on the frickin board

30:00

I'm trolling Taiwan Walker in the little

30:02

ballpark in Philadelphia today with Corey Seeger.

30:04

That's where I'm going. Seeger's taking some

30:06

walks lately, which is good. You know,

30:09

we talked about Corey Seeger as interesting by a low a

30:11

couple of weeks ago because he's, you know, some of the

30:13

numbers are kind of peripherally struggling a little bit, but whenever

30:15

you see a player starting to walk out, especially an elite

30:17

hitter, that's always a great indicator to

30:19

me that he's starting to turn things around because he's

30:21

seeing the ball better. Seeger's walks have been up a

30:24

little bit recently to starting to hit for sport power.

30:26

That's what you want. So give me Corey Seeger today.

30:28

I'd like him to hit two home runs because everybody

30:30

hit two home runs yesterday. So that was fun. So,

30:32

Carlos, I hope that you get to see this one

30:34

after and I hope that you're back again because we

30:36

love you, Carlos. We are teasing

30:38

because it's fun and because this is what

30:40

the show is. It's fun. Look at

30:43

that. Look, that's just screams fun. Jeff,

30:45

I'm having a blast today. I

30:48

am having the best show

30:50

we've done all year. I'm

30:52

having a fantastic time and love

30:54
