Fantasy Pros MLB, drop your comments below, ring the belt
to it goes dang like this video. Those are all
very simple things to do to be involved with us
here Fantasy Pros. So well, we are at that point
the All Star Break. We are next week on a
limited schedule because there's less games, so you know, we
won't be here live on Wednesday Thursday next week, but

(01:11):
we will be covering on Monday everything that happened on
the weekend. We will be covering Home Run Derby on
Monday too. I know I've got a lot of feelings
about that, but we're finally set with Home Run Derby,
which typically takes forever. This is like the earliest I
remember where we got everybody all the ducks in a row.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Oh really, I feel like, I don't know, I felt
like it took a little bit longer, like getting that
last cog to come out of jazz.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Sometimes don't get it till Saturday or Sunday even I
know because every year I do the short video with
my bets, and I'm always trying to do it and
trying to do it, and finally this morning I was like,
oh my god, I can actually do the video before
the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Which is nice, which is I will say I was
doing this will be a name drop. I did a
little CBS hit on CBS Sports HQ talking about the draft,
and beforehand, me and the guy that was doing the show.
We were talking about the Derby and he was asking,
you know who I liked, and I was just like,
it's the most fun Derby. It's not the sexiest, you know,
because that was like you get all the superstars out there,

(02:10):
blah blah blah, but it just has the feels. It's
like Junior Caminero Oneo Cruz. It's all the things that
you kind of want to see. It's a really cool collective.
Jazz is kind of a weird one throwing in there.
You have a Kunya is a superstar.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I really like.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
This odd collective of guys. I think it might end
up being one of the most fun and the odds
are already out there too, if you want to start
getting in on bets.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I hate that Acunia is in it with his back
I mean the baxbathering. You can do home run Derby.
It's just a terrible idea. Before we get going on
the headlines, I know, Jay Keif just resubbed and has
a huge question. It's such a big question we came
and put on the screen or we can Hello, I'm
gonna hide behind this question. It's so big. All right,
here we go, big trade question. I've been offered Vinie

(02:54):
pas Quentino, Wilson Contreras, Brian Wu, Ryan Pepio's ander bolguards
and Michael Harri and Michael Harris all for Junior Camonaro.
It's a ten team keeper rodo.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Now, these are these are the stupidest trades. These people
that are like, I'll give you seven players keep.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, here's seven players. Like Wu's a pit nice pitcher,
Pepio is a nice pitchers, not Zach Wheeler. Junior Cavanaro
is a building block. I don't even have to read
the rest of this. No, thanks for coming. It's also
a ten team league, which means replacement level pitching is
always going to be easier.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
And listen, it's not that I mean we'ren talk about
Brian Woo. The performance was Brian Wo's awesome in there.
Pas Quentino has some value. I know you hate Michael Harris,
but it's just like, well.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
He's saying, I've already got Austin Riley, so here's what
you do. So I did read the rest of the
question on it would be a complete jerk, just a
partial one. Trade Austin Riley for Brian Wu, or you
trade Austin Riley for Ryan Peppio, that's the move you
make because Caminaro is your third basement of the future.
What do you think, Welsh?

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, I mean I like the idea of good wu
for Riley is a relatively close one. It's just yeah,
I'm not saying that. And he even said, like that's
going to be an upgrade over a couple of those positions.
I'm not saying that. Maybe like long term from a
depth perspective like that might be helpful, but like you
can also see he's giving you his trash bags and
he wants you to go take them out to the curb.

(04:09):
Like he's like, here's Xander Bogart's, I'll help you right,
here's Wilson Katrere's he's three or four.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Xander Bargo isn't very good. Michael Harris in a ten
team league, I don't care if his Roto dynasty is
not applicable. And you got the two pictures for Kevin RP.
No counter with Austin Riley for one of those two pictures.
I like Peppio maybe more than Welsh does. I think
that Biel is really solid, So I'm good with either
one of those guys. That's the trade you make, you
don't trade JUNI your Ham and Arrow and a dynasty.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
But that puts that that back up there, put that
question back on.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
I don't know if I can. I just I don't
know I can lift it.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
I just like I just want I want to climb
back onto the show. It's like the best question ever.
We just had three more sentences. We could just try
to like we're trying to get on the show, like.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
Hello, Hello, Like lay my head down on this question.
I know it's Friday.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
That's tired.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
It's definitely Friday. All right, Let's get to the headlines here.
Spencer Striders strut out eleven over six and two thirds.
Another pretty darn good start for him. I almost wanted
the latter bet the case yesterday, but I was like,
I don't want to get greedy here with Stryder. I
wish I did, because he went to eleven yesterday, and
of course he got no decision. Not his fault, but whatever.

(05:16):
Brian wu is terrific yesterday, no hitter through seven, two
runs in the eighth inning and then no decisionunfortunately because
Andre's Munjos who gave up two run three hits. Blue
a save against the Yankees, So boo on him, But
hooray for Wu. Another fantastic start. So Wu and Strider
kicking us off on the headlines, both pretty spectacular performances yesterday.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, and Wu's just stock just continues to rise. I mean,
it's funny and that's why, you know, the question comes
up and makes it, you know, a little bit more interesting.
But Wu's always been like a super efficient guy. The
biggest key here, you know what's funny is in the
off season, I spent a lot of time talking about
Brian Wu and Spencer Schwellenbach and being like, all right, well,
you know, I like Brian Wu. It's low walks, it's

(05:58):
really good efficiency. He's got strip out stuff, but the
k's aren't there. He's a twenty twenty one percent K
percentage guy. This is why I like Schwellenbach because he's
got all this stuff and it's twenty five to twenty
six K percentage. Well, this year that kind of flipped
and Brian Wu's increased his K percentage by three percent,
so he's under five walk almost. It's closing in on
twenty five percent K here, which is huge. He is

(06:19):
giving up a little bit more on the barrels front,
but his fastball is more efficient on the season as
a thirty percent with rate. That was what he was
doing in this game. He's pairing it with that slider.
I just I think Brian Wu has pushed himself into
an easy top twenty sp rest of this season, and
his dynasty value has gone up as well.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yeah, Brian Wu man one of the guys in the
Black Book. I remember writting it up this year where
I was like, you know, if Brian Wu can just
stay healthy, he's gonna take that next step and I
think it could go past Bryce Miller, and I think
he has done that this year. I have a stat here.
I gotta find it. I gotta find the stat here
on Brian Wu. I might have to come back to
that one, but it was another one of the where

(07:00):
you're just looking at it and going, wow, I can't
believe I would think that he has opened the season
with eighteen eighteen straight starts of what two walks or less,
which is see, yeah, he has knocking in league record.
Be yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
He has not walked more than two in a single
game this season. How about this. I have a better
stat for you. He has not gone under six innings
one single start. This year, he has gone six or
more in every single start. I found it, and.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Wu has pitched at least six innings while walking two
or fewer batters in all eighteen of his appearances. That's
the second longest streak to begin a season in American
League history, behind only Cliff Lee in twenty ten with
twenty one.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Straight eighteen starts, fourteen or quality starts. Amazing star machine, amazing, Yeah,
the absolute all star machine. Go watch that video. I
think I've mentioned it yesterday. Go watch that video where
he's kind of trolling his parents a little bit and
he's just like talking with his dad and myself and
then he's like, hey, you want to come Atlanta? And
then they're like.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
What comedy with Atlanta? Who? Dad? Who do we think
stays in rotation longer? Clay Holmes or she hand?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Oh Clay?

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yeah? Just by need smart questions here, JK. Thanks so
much for the feedback. I really want to move Junior. Well, look,
listen to your gut and I think that that's that's
a lesson here. It's like, okay, especially in Dynasty, you
can move a twenty one year old superstar who could
be the next Miguel Cabrera type player, just because you
also have Austin Riley. Like, that's not a good enough reason,
you know, assets talent. I don't care you play somebody

(08:31):
at utility spot. If you don't have utility spot is
a ten team league again, move Austin Riley. Austin Riley
is a nice player. I don't think he's I don't
think in his peak he's ever gonna touch with Junior Camanaro.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Is going to be quality over quantity. A lot of
people use that phrase. I see that a lot lately,
and it's just it doesn't even add up. I mean
like it plays out more like a welshism than like
a reality, you know what I'm saying. Like it's just
like something fake. But like if if you have a young,
big time twenty five even top let's say forty dynasty asset,

(09:04):
and someone is trying to throw seven pieces that you,
it should be a warning sign immediately they're trying, they're
trying at their best.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Here's a budgero crap for you, A good thing.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, here'sp though, because here's everything that's expendable. Give me
the best player.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
That's the thing I used to play in a league
years ago with a guy that I was friends with
who who air quotes, Well, yeah, it was like, you know,
we're friends, We're like friends of friends kind of that,
you know, and it's just like and he would constantly
do stuff like those trade offers. Were constantly like here's
a bunch of my mediocrity for your one great player.
And I'm like, why would I want to do that.
I don't understand. You don't understand that at all. Pete

(09:38):
Crowl Armstrong two homers, a double, and a walk against
the Cubby excuse me afore the Cubbies as they beat
the Twins yesterday. It's the first time two Cubs have
ever had twenty five home runs each as a teammates
in ninety five games in the season, which I thought
was stunning, considering Andre Dawson, Ryan Samberg, considering Philly Williams
and Ernie Banks. Two. That's Chicago Cubs with twenty five

(10:02):
homers in the first ninety five games.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Okay, I just want to make sure, because you said season,
I was like, wait a minute, they've never had been.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
In the start of a season at ninety five game
Mark gotcha. The first tan of to ever of twenty
five each, which is pretty incredible because the Cubs have
had I mean, it's Sammy Sosa and anybody like you know,
It's just it's crazy to think that there was never
another pairing that got to that mark.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Yeah, that is especially with like the story history. I'd
also say, what's crazy about Pete Crow is the season
could end today and he probably two x to what
anyone of would have had expectations for him, Like I
think there was like high hopes, but this is absurd.
He he is tied. I mean, I guess it was
just about the same amount of games, but he tied.
You know, his stolen base marker from last year. He's
almost tripled his home run total. He's legitimately like it

(10:46):
is gonna take I don't know, it would take him
losing you know, the rest of the season or something.
But if he plays the rest of the way, there
is no scenario where he's not a thirty thirty guy.
He's legitimately going to push forty forty and on some
weird world you have fifty to fifty.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's crazy, it's nuts, it's absolutely insane. P five heard
Murphy might get moved probably probably to the race too.
Baldwin is on waivers, jump on him, Yeah, I will, yes, Oh,
look I forgot about this. It's the Neppo Bowl tonight.
Mccullor is a Jack Lighter. Yeah, bu our dads were
in the majors.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
But you know you're gonna hate.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
R to somebody has to win that game. Actually, yeah, yeah,
we can get to no decisions or.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Oh, you're gonna hate if anyone's good. But uh, did
you know there is another Lighter in Sunday's draft. There's
another Lighter coming, cam Lighter. It's crazy, this family that
keeps putting out there. He's a picture. Uh lower is prospect.
You'll probably he's probably like a fifish round guy. Sure,
he'll go in the second round this draft. Actually, just

(11:49):
as a side note talking about the Nebo thing, it's
your worst nightmare because everybody knows Joe hates the nepotism
in baseball.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
True, I like Laddie, you hate.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
The nepotism, and unless you're amazing, amazing.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
No, but no, no. What I hate, and I've been
clear about this from day one, what I hate is
when a guy who is mediocre or worse in the
minor leagues but has a famous parent who is in
the major leagues somehow gets Cavin Bigioed ahead of other guys,

(12:22):
or gets Jack Lighter ahead of other guys. And I
think that sucks because I know what these kids. You know,
I have a friend of mine who's an ex you know,
player in the Dominican leagues, who was signed by the
Red Sox, and you know, like those guys and how
hard they work and how much they sacrifice, and it
sucks that some of those guys lose out to opportunities

(12:44):
because the NEPO babies go ahead of them.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
I'll still my problem. Well, I mean that again, that
was not Jack Lighter because he was the best pitcher
in college baseball. But this draft is so full.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yes, he warn't the best picture in the minor leagues,
though that was the point. And I never said he
wasn't good in college. He wasn't in college the best
pit I mean, he was like the best.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
But you've got cecis of atheist kid Manny Ramire is
his kid, another one of Mark McGuire's kad Jeff Can't
Craig Counsel Delman Young's cousin. Someone's mentioning our nephew. I
think it is in Quentin.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Elman Young's cousins brothers.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, they're so mine. And there's like the top guys
Holiday Eli Willitts, and then there's just this slew of
nepotism that is just.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Hoid is never going to be as good as Matt Holiday.
Let's be honest. I don't.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
I mean, I'm not sure. I'm not comfortable saying.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
That Iliday is a good player. No, I'm not saying
good conversation.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Jackson Holiday is probably is younger than some guys that
are going to get drafted on Sunday, and we're already
saying he won't be better than Matt Holliday.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I don't. I just don't think he'll. I don't think
he's physically going to be as big ever as his
dad was as well. I just don't. I just a
very different type of player too. So just saying yeah,
Holiday is probably my bold prediction was Jackson Holiday twenty
twenty this year. So again, I don't hate all the
NEPO babies. I just want to point out and warn
those making investments in them, don't invest in the last name.

(14:06):
Look at the stats, take the name away, because far
too often we don't do that and we get caught
up with well, this guy's is the pedigree of this
pedigree doesn't mean anything, mean nothing. You know he was
then Dale Barrow would have been a great Major League
Baseball player and he wasn't and Yogi Berra was great.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
All we need in life is for cam Leider to
be drafted by the Mets this weekend. That's all we need.
And just everybody tag Joe. It'll be so great?

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Is fine, let him do it. Manny Machado three for
five with the homer, and Fernando Tatists two for four
with a homer Yesterday is Michael Cally's Padres beat up
on your d Bax Walker Buehler's two straight good starts.
I don't know what to say about it. Yeah, I know,
first we had Giolito turn things around and not Walker Bulder,
So I don't know. The Red Sox have won seven
in a row now, grant that they've been playing the

(14:49):
Colorado Rockies. And why weren't they playing the White Sox
last weekend too? I want to say, right, they were
playing some bad team. I'm just saying, like, let's not
get too excited about the Red Sox. And although this
is fun. I am enjoying this a little bit. I
was not enjoying the Mets yesterday. David Peterson seven innings,
they take him out. He could have gone for a
complete game shutout. They take him out, the bullpen blows it,

(15:11):
and then they lose both games. Terrible, but at least
David Peterson's going to the All Star Game. Good for him,
he deserves it. Max Freed also won't be going to
the All Star Game. Carlos Rodin replaces him, and as
we kind of foreshadowed unknowingly yesterday, Mitch Spence got tfaight yesterday.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Those are all bye, Mitch.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Now he's free for uh he's a VP for PP.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Yeah. VP at the home run derby. You can get
a gig.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
You can get a gig, all right, Let's get to rookie.
Lookie Nick Kurt's solo home run walk twice. He's been
good man. Oh, I'm excited and we're excited because prospecting
at the Welsh I mean, is there anybody better?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Again?

Speaker 1 (15:50):
I can't. I can't find somebody. Bryce Matthews is gonna
get the call. He's going to start today. H slash
two eighty three, four hundred and four to seventy six,
ten thirty nine Robbies one D five stolen bases probably
gonna play. I would imagine shortstop is regular position with
Payna Outstill, it was a question for Big Dance. Is
Bryce Matthews a bonus piece in the Roto? In Roto
because of the speed, if you've got bench depth, I'm

(16:13):
curious because I do think he plays second base. Then yeah,
after Payina comes back, if he hits, But again that's
an if. It's a n if.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, like I don't know what your roster looks like
in a ten team. He's along those lines like Coolson
Montgomery was the same thing where it's like, if you're
an a ten team, these guys aren't quite ten team guys,
but if you've got the space to speculate, Montgomery, I said,
was a guy to speculate on, and he had a
good start. Bryce Matthews, like you said, somebody I've been
bringing up because he's in that draft class a couple

(16:41):
of years ago. There were and there always is, these
analytical guys guys that'll go higher based on just pure
like ninetieth percentile exit velocities, big hard hit numbers, and
how they barrel in teams thinking they can work through it.
Bryce Matthews is one of the top one of those guys,
and you're seeing he's got power, he's got speed, he's
got a strikeout problem. But this is one of those
guys gets the ball in the air, he could pull

(17:03):
off like an Esak parade is just start, you know,
crushing pull side balls in Houston and really succeeding. Plus
the speed component. I like him, so yeah, I think
he is a bonus, but you got to make sure
you've got like the spot to do it. You're not
cutting like you're not like, hey, should I cut CAGs
since he's kind of been bad for Bryce Matthews, Like, no,
I'm not gonna do that. He's just if you're thinking
of it from a keeper perspective, no, don't do that.

(17:25):
But if you're in like a keeper realm, like Bryce
Matthews has definitely some good potential into this year, some
fantasy relevance, and that's why we were talking about him.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
I feel like we have a request for a Stefan
snl bit from the twenty twenty five upcoming NFL. I'll
the MLB Draft because we can talk about this draft
has everything, Delman Young's nephew, Torpedo Bats, It's got Trevor Bauer, Kammas,
super Books, It's loaded anything you could possibly imagine. This

(17:54):
draft has God, I love that character. It's my favorite character.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Anything Bill Hater does.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Just that was just the best though, And watching him
like read it live when they change it on him
when the show goes up, it's just the best.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Anytime those reels come around for me where it's like
Bill Hayter breaking cast members for two minutes, I'm like watch,
I'm like instantly watch the California. Oh yeah, I'm going down.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Took the one on one to Tarzani.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah, I was trying to think of the freeways. That's
always the one to.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Hang a Louis or the Del Taco So funny. I
tease my California cousins about all the time because it's
kind of true true how they talk. It's like, you know,
I took the four oh one.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
This is the best California.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
I haven't talk like that, no, but you didn't. I mean,
how long were you there?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I lived in Arizona now longer than I lived in California.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
But I grew up driving in California.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I moved right.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Once you become driving agent, it becomes you know, ye
know how to get home for the Hollywood bawl. Right,
one more rookie looking to talk about Bubba Chandler. Six
scoreless innings, second straight start, Bubba Chandler? Is he done pouting?
I don't know what was going on there. Bubba Chandler
for a while was not good, but the last two
starts been very good. What do you think? Let's play

(19:18):
the game. Let's play the game. Bubba Chandler's roster percentage
on the CBS is now granted, that's got Dynasty leagues
in it. What do you think it is right now today?
I bet you it is higher, Bob?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Okay, how much fifty five higher?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Bob? All right?

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Anything over CBS is run just high. If it's over
sixty five percent, I guess I'd be a little surprised.
But that's like six percent.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Okay, I guess you're a little surprised.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I mean that qualified. It's like sixty six will qualify.
I'm not surprised. From Dynasty.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Does it tell you on ESPN what it is?

Speaker 2 (19:54):
I gotta look, yeah, you can do. Yeah, I'll bet you. Yeah,
it's under twenty percent. I'm probably like, hand up, you
know the drill with Bubba Chandler. We are all in
pure guessing game. I think the best manipulation of all
Oh you got your Yahoo six six, Yeah, that's awesome.

(20:15):
The manipulation game is for them to wait until September
or yeah, pretty much. You need to do September for
days on the roster and stuff. But he's been so good.
There's one hundred percent of chance come off of the
All Star break. I told you guys, you know he
was invited, he declined, maybe the team didn't want him
to go. There's a legit chance he could come back here.

(20:37):
But we don't know what the pirates are doing. We
don't know if they are manipulating. I think a great
sell to fans if they want to, because I think
this team, this is the weird balance is like, yes,
you can manipulate and try to control roster and stuff
like that, but once they start selling pieces, everyone's going
to escape. Here's a really good way to get guys
to buy tickets and want to come back is having

(20:57):
another guy like Bubba Chandler make his pro debut. So
I do think there's a legitimate shot once Mitch Keller
is traded, Bubba Chandler comes up. So if you can
stomach two weeks, I would hold on to him. If
he's not up by August first, they are clearly just
waiting until September, so go back him up. He's been
really good, he's getting his stuff back together, but we

(21:18):
don't know anything about what they're doing with him.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm being kind of crappy in our playoffs. So we
have these playoffs that we have in our Fantasy pros league.
They go on for like a month or whatever. It is,
like you just play the same person, and he's got
an amazing team. I'm playing Josh. He's got like he's
got Schwarber, he's got Mookie, he's got cal Rawley, he's
got Schemes and school Ball and de Grom like he
got a phenomenal team. Right, So I realized, like I

(21:42):
can't beat him on the on the on the big
time stuff. So I'm trying to beat him on the margins.
So I'm streaming every picture. I've got five closers right now,
so I'm winning in saves. I'm winning nine to one
in steals right now. I'm just I'm trying to like
Dink and just like all I gotta do is just
chip away at these little, tiny, crappy categories and somehow
over a month, I think I might be able to

(22:03):
catch him and just like eke out of victory.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
But it really a month long playoff.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeah, it's like a month. So it's like round ones
a month, and then round two is like or three weeks,
and then it's another three weeks and then and then
it's another three.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
It's probably a month because there's that like week All
Star break that's in there and accounting whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Probably you're right. But but right now as it stands,
like I said, I'm I'm I'm losing three to six one.
We're tied in one. But yeah, no no, but I
just refuse to lose. Gian Carlos Stanton fun fact, first
career pinch hit on run and it was this four

(22:42):
hundred and thirty second of his career that passes cal
Ripken for the all time lead Welsh. Do you want
to take a guess who is ahead of him? He's
at number forty nine slashed forty eight, respectively, tied with
four hundred and thirty four career home runs. Two guys
that played in your lifetime in the nineties, just putting
that out there.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Okay, so there were okay.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Both guys not in the Hall of Fame. I'm just
one of which we're giving away a jersey for.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh one Gonzalez.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
One Gonzalez.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
All right, there you go over the center.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Fielder who probably took some special vitamins.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
A center field to give me. Wait, what was it was?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
The him a great centerfielder from one of the great
defensive centerfielders.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Ever, Jim Edmonds. He didn't have four hundred plus.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
No, but he had three hundred plush but no another
one who took some Andrew Jones. Andrew Jones, And where
is Edmonds on this list? You know what? Jim Evans
at three hundred and ninety three home runs.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
See, I wouldn't have guessed it. I would have guessed
like like high two's or something.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
He's got more home runs than Harold Baines, more home
runs than Larry Walker, more home runs than Ryan Howard,
more home runs than Albert Bell, which I would not
have guessed either, more runs like Carlton Fisk he did,
But so what so you know, Jim, he's got more
home runs than Jim Rice. Jim Rice is the Hall
of Fame.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
Just saying, you know, Andrew Jones, should he be a
Hall of Famer?

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yes, one hundred percent. One of the greatest defensive players
I've ever seen at a specially Jim Headmans should be
a Hall of Famer. The guys ahead of him. Here's
the list. This is fun. So stands at fifty and
then tied at forty nine is Andrew Jones and Wan Gonzalez.
Then Carlos Beltran at forty seven. Uh, Andre Dawson, Paul
Konerko another one of my all time favorite underrated players.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
For the high school down the street from me.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh, Jason Giambi, Dave Kingman, Vlad Guerrero Senior, Jeff Bagwell,
and then Carlos Stremsky at forty. So those are the
guys ahead.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Of Chaparrelle High School's own Paul Konerko.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yes, seriously, So there you go. Uh, let's get to
actually some more questions because everyone's uh, everyone's dropping the
dropping the cheers here, which we love Schlitler or Painter.
I have S, but I can pick up Painter.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
You have to s what like I have to s?

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Then I go it's Schlitler for me.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
I mean, yeah, Painter right now, yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
Up, he has a four to seventy r A.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, I don't worry about that. But Schlitzer's fine, right
about that.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Dyln't Bundy can't hit the strike. Let's not worry about that.
It'll be fun, It'll be fine. It's gonna.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
To come up and like it. A lot of guys.
I just don't care. I want Painter to come up,
but I want him to light it up.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Okay, okay, let's get to the ups and downs. Marcus
City and four for five boys. He turned things around.
But what a what a run? I'll tell you the
magic touch I got him and Strider in that same deal.
They just took off. They like playing For me. I'm
a different kind of manager. Let the guys go out
there and play. I'm a man of the people. Jordan
Westburg Homeward. I drove in three runs. Nico Lodolo another

(25:50):
really good performance again, victory over the Marlins, three hits
over six innings. The downs and what Rodriguez again? Four innings,
four runs, same old, same old. Jack can shadow it now.
I heard on the broadcast they say Kahanowitz, I don't.

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Like that it's Witz. I say, gosh, because it sounds
like the.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Guy who gets in trouble in the eighties Copswitz. Get
inn here, get in here. I'm telling you right now,
I'm not sending you back out. You leave your badge
and your gun here. Kachanowitz liked enough crap.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Yeah, what was the U the Eddie Murphy ones, the
Foley Oh, Beverly Hills Cop. Yeah, like that would be
like the weapon Beverly Hills Cop.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yes, definitely in those.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Didn't watch the didn't watch the new Netflix one with.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
No I mean either. I'll be honest, I don't think
I ever saw any of the Beverly Hills Cop movies.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Oh really, Oh man, I watched those like a bunch
of time great like you know, eighties or whatever. It
was not early late nineties early nineties comedies.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
So yeah, yeah, Beverly Hills Cop. Kachanowitz eight runs two
and two thirds of yikes, not good. Julia Rodriguez by
like over five with a strikeoun against the Yankees, Bye bye,
bye bye. I'm telling you it's at the lowest point.
This is where you buy. Let's get to the injuries.
Welsh Bregman apparently is a return for two games at
Fenway Park this weekend.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
You're buying that, Yep, I'm buying. I love the second
half Bregman, buy anything you can, and I think he's
gonna I think he's gonna make that third base position
even more interesting. As Kevin Arrow his pop backup, he
was doing a thing. Bregman was doing a thing. So
I'm in this.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Look. They've won seven in a row, They're getting Bregman back, healthy, Walker,
Bueller and Giledo can pitch again. Like all of a sudden,
the Red Sox are the Red Sox buyers. Feels like
they might be all.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
I did three straight shows on betting pros once a
month where I kept doubling down every single time on
Red Sox to make the playoffs, Red Sox to do
this and that. I have so many bets in there.
I'm just crossing my fingers this works out, because the
last one I did it looked the worst of all
of them after they had traded Devers. But I just

(27:49):
couldn't quit. And I don't think the Devers in trade
had anything to necessarily do with their buy sell. And
now you know, I mean the Yankees lost some games.
Red Sox are coming back and they're gonna be buyers.
There are one hundred percent going to be some version
of buyers, which will be super interesting if their buyers
while also trading a guy like Duran, because Duran's trade

(28:10):
rumors have been floating out there.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
That's gonna be really interesting. Actually, and you think about it,
it's funny because like about two weeks ago, I was like, man,
maybe I should just like look at all these like
preseason shares of the Red Sox to win the East
gofter Cole got hurt. I was like, oh, baby, let's go.
Red Sox are gonna win this division. And I had
some parlays and divisions where everything's working but the Red
Sox and I was like, ugh, I was like, what
a waste. And now all of a sudden they're alive again.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
At least there is a chance. Yeah, I got I
got way too many, asked Seth Wilcock. I got way
too many. But at least there's.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
There is a chance. Who that another cheerwall here? Do
we think that Hunter Green pitches again during the fantasy season.
I'm worried because I have him and King is just
starting staring at me from the IL. So, yeah, that's
it's tough.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
King.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Apparently we're gonna talk about him in just a second.
He was the next guy on our list actually, so
King through twenty five pitch session successful yesterday. That's good
news for him. But look, they still have no timetable.
I would say he does pitch again, but I'm thinking
it's going to be late August. Like I think it's
going to be a while. That's what it feels like.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Anyway, what do you Yeah, does the ambiguity of it,
like we still know they're just like we.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
Do, We're not really sure rest of season? Who would
you want?

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Yeah, I would do I would do that just because
I don't know what's going on with Hunter Green. He
might not come back for two weeks a month, It
might be more of the season, you know what. Also,
not that they don't already need it regardless, but the
Reds rumored have been that they're going to be pretty
hyper aggressive in the trade market. I'm not one hundred
percent if they were to, like, if they were to
go and make a big trade, would you view that

(29:41):
as like bad news for Hunter Green or just they
needed to do it? Anyways, like, let's say they went
and got like Mitch Keller or something, or Joe Ryan. Like,
you know, Joe Ryan are out there.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
They're not going to get him in that division, but okay.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Then Joe Ryan, they go and get the Joe Ryan
trade pulls off. There's a rumor about that. Do you
think that speaks more to Hunter Green being a loss
for I just.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Think that's Terry Francona and they got the they got
a manager, they believe it, and the Reds could be
good for the next two years because Ryan has control too,
so that's more of a long term move. So I
don't think it. But again with the pictures. He I
tried to say this the other day, maybe it was yesterday,
you gotta stop thinking of I was like, oh, how
many when when does he come back? Oh it's August
or whatever? Forget that. How many starts does he have left?

(30:22):
Hunter Green? Maybe makes five or six more starts if
he comes back in August, right, Like, that's what you're
looking at.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
If it comes back the it comes back at the
beginning of August, he's probably still got ten starts.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Beginning of August. It's the eleventh and there's no timetable still.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, but that could turn on a die. I mean
that this is the problem with him. It's like it
could turn on a dime. They're saying, oh, we don't
know anything. Monday could come up and they say, oh,
it's feeling a lot better. We're gonna have to throw
a bullpen session. And then and then he goes a.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Game, has probably three to four rehabs.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Maybe yeah, maybe, I'm.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Just saying three to four rehabs is fifteen I'm just
doing the math here. It's fifteen to twenty days. That's
what you're looking at. Every fifth day. Fifteen to twenty days.
Time is not on your side Hunter Green right now.
So if you can get Julio for him, I would
do it. It's a gageous question.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
We don't know what the hell's going on with them.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
You probably got six seven starts left of sail probably,
and Dave said they're not trading him, which I'm not surprised,
like I didn't think they would. Brandon Lau was held
out again yesterday. It's four consecutive games. We talked about
this beginning of the week. I said, have another plan
because he's not playing this week. And guess what he's
not playing this week, so hope you listen. Tyler Molly
and John Gray working their way back. Molly's expected to

(31:28):
resume throwing at some point. We don't know at some point,
but at some point he's working his way great. And
then John Gray is gonna make his next minor league
reheb start on Sunday, so they're hoping he can rejoin
that rotation after the All Star break. Jock Peterson is
still two to three weeks away. Boy, that's been one
of the worst signings this offseason. I thought that was
a good one for the Rangers. That has just been awful.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
One of my worst takes of the offseason, Just one
of my absolute worst takes. Just what an epic failure
Jock was in real baseball and fantasy unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Would you trade Meryl Anthony for Roman Anthony? Apparently Anthony
Streep would trade Jackson Merril for Roman Anthony.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
I take Meryl Streep over all of them, just like
she's so much more versatile. Yeah, one hundred percent musicals.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah. Would I trade Meryll for Roman Anthony in redraft?
I don't think so. Merril has just definitely had a
down season, Anthony's kind of popping back up. I want Meryl.
I think over Anthony. Oh, dynasty is really tough. Those
guys are soon. Maybe maybe I'll take Anthony. I still
got Meryl there, But because you also have this battle

(32:37):
I'll do in the off season of incredible last year,
really down this year. That's also mixed in with injuries,
so it's like, what's the real Jackson Meryl outlook going
to be? And that's what we're going to be facing
next year. So I'm not one hundred percent ture. I
just want to be like done, but Roman Anthony is
not just like taking anything for him.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Lee wants to know the rest of season Westburg or Castro.
I go Westburg, I'll go.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
I'll go Westburg. But if the twins really do start
like selling awesome stuff, you don't look out.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah, maybe who's back first, Grayson Rodriguez or Michael King from
Lucero's Uh King, I'm gonna say King.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Doing he's doing the same stuff as him, he's in rehab.
They also like the King is needed. Grayson is not
needed right now, They're not.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
No, it's a great point. King is definitely the one
that you push. Anthony Santander is still not hitting, but
he believes it will happen, hopefully soon, quote unquote hopefully soon.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
He believes in himself.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
That's good for a lot of money for hopefully soon.
Jesse Winker could be headed back to the IL. He
had a back issue. Just came back from the side issue.
Now he got a back issue. It sucks. I'van Herrera
hamstring issue his beginning his minor league rehab assignment this weekend,
so that is good too. So hopefully things go well
for him. And that brings us to the best bets
of the day with Joey p and Welsh. I'm gonna

(34:01):
start here. It's all strikeout props today on a fun Friday.
Grant Holmes over five and a half strikeouts here plus
one twelve. I'm gonna go here a Grant Holmes has
been terrific this year in the strikeout category. That could
be a piece too. I could see the Braves moving
Grant Holmes. I think he would help a lot of teams.
Could pitch out of the bullpend could be a starting pitcher,
depending on what you think of him. Chase Burns, that's right,

(34:22):
that Chase Burns and I'm betting on him seven plus
strikeouts minus one thirty against the Colorado Rockies, because the
Colorado Rockies can't hit water if they fell out of
a boat. They are awful. They strike out everywhere. And
Paul Skens give me eight plus strikeouts on FanDuel plus
one forty eight against the Minnesota Twinkies. Welsh, where are
you going for your bets of the day.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Well, I am going to join you on Chase Burns.
Of course, I got a little bit at better odds.
I frankly, if I were a super betting gambling man,
I'm not sure I would even shy away from going
to eight, nine, maybe even ten for Chase Burns because
he's going to be throwing that slider and we know
what the Rockies are going to be doing. They are
going to be powering the state of Colorado with that

(35:04):
wind power that they're going to be swinging past all
those sliders and fastballs for Chase Burns. So I love
the strikeout number Pittsburgh first five money line. Paul schemes,
at any time when you get close to when you
get plus money or close to plus money, why not
bet him on the first five? Maybe they fall themselves
into a base hit and some run support may not happen,

(35:27):
but you know he's not giving up any runs. So
even if I tie, I'm gonna take that bet. And
then Cleveland first five run line. Slight caveat here. This
is game two, Game two because this is Gavin Williams,
So I'm backing Gavin Williams through the first five here.
And also I don't know if it was plus money.
I wrote it with plus money, so it must be

(35:48):
so first five. Oh, I'm sorry, yeah, because this is
run line. I'm a dumb idiot. Run line, not money line.
Cleveland first five run line plus money, so they're up
by a run. This is the Gavin Williams one support
there kind of plays to your home run call. Those
are my best bets two and one yesterday, so two
back to back, two and one days. Thank you very much.

run board because I can only look at it from
afar George yesterday, you did, hey goal, look at you?
The watermark is twenty seven. Well should I. I'm definitely
never gonna see the board this year, which is very sad.
Just too slow in April and too slow in July unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Just look at that, Joe, Oh my god, so close.
I could have got back up on that board.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Sosa jersey up for grabs. Speaking of the Sosa jersey,
you can come back into the into the two box,
so Sammy Sosa. I was looking at this home run board.
A six hundred and nine home runs not in the
Hall of Fame. A Rod six ninety six not in
the Hall of Fame. Pool also will get in bonds,
obviously seven to sixty two. But there's a bunch of
guys in the five hundred's also not in the Hall
of Fame. Mark McGuire five eighty three, Paul Merrow, five

(37:17):
sixty nine. Then you have Many Ramirez at five p
fifty five, and let's see anybody else in the five
hundreds not in the Hall of Fame. Migul Cabrera will
get there. Gary Sheffield at five to oh nine. So
it's kind of crappy. They have all those guys in
the five hundred home run club, the best players of
the era in which we watch baseball. I mean, it's
so dumb that they're just not like recognizing.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Yah, I didn't even do that conversation, but yeah, it's stair.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Just but just looking at it and you see the
names and where they are and how good they were,
and you're like, really, like, come on, you judge the
players in the era they play.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
You know how it goes, man, you know how it goes.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
It's just stupid. Let's get to your home run call,
because yours is more important than mine. So yeah, it's
huge for you. We could come back on Monday and
you could be on the board.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Goal is to get on that board before Joe leaves.
I want Joe's last image of the baseball season because
we do home runs at the end, to be my name.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
I want I want to see it, though.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I'm gonna go. I'm gonna pick on the A's as
as one does. Vladimir Gerro Junior give me the Springer. Mit,
not a bit of bad bet. But I'm gonna go
with Laddie Junior here for my home run call.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
That's a good one. I'm gonna go Jose Ramiroz for
this weekend against the White Sox.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
I wanted this one. I wanted this, but you took it.
I think that's a really good one. And by the way,
shout out to our boy. I think it was im Rich.
Let me get your thoughts on this. Im Rich wanted
to know how he wants to send us gifts. How
can you send gifts? Well, if you message me, I
will personally give you Joe's address of poop on the
Social Security card. Whatever you need of Joe, I will

(38:47):
personally give it. So just email me, message me on Twitter.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
I had a bad experience with this one which like
a Nigerian prince, he took all my money. It was
really sad.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
You know, do you want gifts, You can have a gift.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
I want gifts, but do I want to give up
my home address?

Speaker 2 (39:00):
That's that's that's that's the battle.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
But you know, would have a fantasy pros po box
or something like that.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
That'd be nice to do. A y address. Yeah, just
message me. I'll give you all of Joe's information that
you need.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
You know, I've got I've got a you know, a
bag of poop. It's got a picture of like, you know,
some player on it that I told people to draft.
It wasn't good this year.

Speaker 2 (39:23):
Maybe just like jack Glider cards, it's only some jack
Glider jersey gross.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
We put an immediately on eBay.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
A good point actually said, you got to pick if
you're doing that, which game because you have the double
header thing going on.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
You got to come on, just give me all of that.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
Don't get all of them, Joe, what are we doing here?

Speaker 1 (39:43):
You don't get all think about all the things I
do for all of you. Think about all of that.
It can't give me one extra home run. God for biddiots.
And I still think that rule is stupid. By the way.
It's like, if you guys gets eight at bats in
a game or eight at bats in a day, what's
the difference.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Joe the Monkey's saying, you can call a doubleheader.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Thank you. I thought we fixed that rule because it
was a dumb rule. It's like you're calling home runs today.
You know today, it's for the day. So I'm just saying, let's.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Get saying they didn't get it, but all right, whatever,
that's fine.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
Well then let's give game over another home run. So
I'm not telling it, so I should shut my mouth.
That's fair. Fair.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
But if you were to pick a game, if someone
wanted to play by the rules, which game would you pick?

Speaker 1 (40:30):
I'll pick George Springer? How's that?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Oh you're gonna take Springer?

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Now? Yeah, just just despite you.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
Okay, yeah, the Springer is gonna hit two.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Fine, I'll take George, you know, because I don't even
want to play around. Now, I don't want to play around.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Oh you're gonna take a ball and go home?

Speaker 1 (40:42):
Like I don't even I don't care. I don't care.
My dad played the major leagues. He wouldn't have to
deal with all right, let's talk about laser Sharp's question.
Would be a good time to sell miss Rowski? Now
that's interesting. And if so, what's a target? I'm gonna
say no because I'm I I think you're gonna need
him with the way pitching's falling apart here. But I'm

(41:04):
intrigued what is the value of Misowski because I think
there everybody fears. Okay, you know the innings piling up.
I get it, all that stuff, But the Brewers are
in this thing. So what do you do here with Miserowski?
Would you what's a value? How can I tempt you?
How can I put you at Jacob Mizerowski trade today?

Speaker 2 (41:25):
So if you can sell, I'm going to just use
arbitrary stuff. If Jacob Mizerowski nets you what a top
twenty sp should could net you, then I think you
can listen to it. If you're pitching, the problem is
you're not gonna get like pitching because you're selling him
to somebody that wants the pitching. So if you've got

(41:46):
a glut of solid pitching that you're comfortable with, and
you've got some deficiencies, then you can go out in
the market and you can buy. I mean, if somebody
offered you Miserrowski for Ords, offered you Julio for Miserwski,
would you do it.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Hulu for Misraewskin. Now it's not enough. You would not.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
You wouldn't sell Miserowski to get Julio. Okay, So I
mean a.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Huge impact right now. It's going to be a small
window impact, but it's a it's a huge impact right now,
dropping eleven shrutouts against the Dodgers, who, by the way,
the Dodgers have not played great baseball in the last month,
just putting that out there like they.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Division.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Yeah, I know, it's it's it's gonna be really interesting here.
The Mets haven't played great baseball. The Dodgers haven't played
great baseball. Now, look, this is when you want to
be crappy. You don't want to be crappy in September.
You want to be crappy in the middle of the season.
So that doesn't bode well for the rest of the
National League, but it is worth pointing out.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
By the way, and Ghosts is saying something, if this
question about mis was based around dynasty, we're not having
any conversations. But yeah, but he just threw out dynasty.
No one's selling Mizrawski.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
And Nappy, no Uri Perez. I told you I'd rather
have Ury Perez because he's already.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
We're not in pure redraft conversation here, Misowski. He's a
top ten easy dynasty sp right now, So can I.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Call player in a doubleheader or not. That's the question here,
that's the rook before we leave this today, I need
this question.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
I'm not the judge and jury. That's it.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
I don't I'm going to play by the rules a
man of integrity.

Speaker 2 (43:18):
If we don't have that old school rule holder that
was always in the chat that would scream.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
Mike and Mahyor Yeah, I remember when he used to
be here all the time.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Well not Mike Mayor, but yeah, the other guy. But yeah,
may Mayor too.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Yeah, well yeah, I know I got talking about But
Mike Mahyor, you know, happy he gets on the YouTube
a couple of times, he goes a big star and
he never never goes in me. You know, he never
comes back.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
You want to We're here for you where we've been
here the whole time. May Or maybe hasn't been here.
He's not a man of the people like we are.
But that's okay. He's a boss of the the man
of the people.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Yeah, so weird. Here's what I want to do. If
it's if it's doublehead of rules, then I want to
take jose Ra Mirraz for his eight f bats. If
I'm not allowed to do that, I will take George
Springer in perpetuity for the weekend there out. That's what
we're doing. That's what we're doing here.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Either way, you won't be on the board on Monday.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
So it doesn't matter, get it. I hate home runs.
It's not gonna matter, so it does. It's it's inconsequential anyway.
But I want to be a man of integrity there.
That's what I want to do. So next week on Monday,
we're gonna give you our home run derby picks. We're
going to recap the weekend's action Rule three of the
official sheet, no double headers. Okay, well then George Springer,
it is George Springer. It is so there you go.

(44:27):
Springer time. Jerry Springer to George Springer.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
All this Monday, we're back. We're doing a kind of
All Star special home run derbys. We'll pick them, we'll
do some chat stuff, we'll have some fun with that.

Speaker 1 (44:39):

Speaker 1 (45:00):
I'll be back first sleeping in Welsh. You did not
get approved for your credentials for the All Star Game.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
I heard no. I got denied.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
That's very sad.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Yeah, but you know what, some other big people got
denied too because what we found out, they won't credential
individual events. It's the whole weekend and everybody and their
mother was trying to go. I didn't care. I didn't
need I didn't want to do the home Run Derby,
do the All Star Game. I wanted Future's Game. But
they literally said they don't do the individualized which they
used to do. They change that. So I'm not going

(45:30):
to Atlanta. I would already be in Atlanta had I
been approved.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Very hapit That's okay. Well we have Welsh here and
