Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading
Off Live, brought to you by Price Pick. Sign up

When you do, it's me Joey P Joe, He's a
P and no, that's not the Wealth. So I just
want everybody to know that, of course, is the wonky
Penguin joining us today, Kelly Kirby. So it's great that
Kelly jumped in last minute. It's actually such an incredible
team player. Look at you. What's it like to get
(00:27):
called up to the big leagues and you know, having
no idea that it's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's kind of surprising. I called my parents. I told
them that, like I got called up, I get to
talk to Joe. It's just taken off.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So I know it's going in the opposite direction for you.
I wish you know. I'm sad that you know, you
had to talk to me for a half hour, but
I'm grateful that you're here. We've got a lot of
baseball to get to and we're gonna get it all
down for you. Let's start with it. Seems like the
rumors are buildings some cryptic Instagram posts, which is how
everything happens nowadays. You know who's following who and stops
(01:01):
following this person who tweets something. But it seems like
Ellie Dela Cruz might be getting his call up as well,
not just Kelly Kirby this week, sooner than later. Now,
this is very exciting. Cruise has been absolutely spectacular in
Triple A. We were hoping he would get the call
and then it was Matt mcclan. We've been waiting and waiting, Kelly.
Do you think there's any fire where this smoke is
when it comes to Dela Cruz? And should everyone be
(01:23):
adding him because he's still available in more than half
a league's right now?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well, having watched my cubs get swept by them over
the weekend, I'm not sure if they need more firepower,
but it would make sense for them to call him up.
I mean, what do they have to lose? And yeah,
I think you should go get him. I mean Twitter's
never wrong, but never ever, but usually when things start
kind of talking like this, I feel like there's something
to it when it comes to prospects. So I'd pick
(01:49):
him up somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, I would too. It certainly seems like it's moving
that direction. But you know, if you're obviously you know,
if you're listening to the show, you probably added him already.
You're one of those forty percent of people already have him.
A good weekend for Aaron Judge, and yesterday as well
a Memorial Day on not one but two homers. So
Aaron Judge continues to be Aaron Judge. Corey Segert two
for five with a three run blast, so good days
for him. But Kelly, it seems like the last couple
(02:12):
of days dominated by the rookies. So we got to
get into the rookie LOOKI because Nolan Jones got called up. Now,
Olan Jones was a player that you know I've been
talking about too that really has nothing left to prove
a triple A. Of course, then they sat him af
they're playing him a couple days and I don't know
what the hell they're doing there, but he was slashing
three point fifty six, four eighty one, seven eleven with
twelve homers five steals. I know it's the PCL, but
(02:34):
when you look at this Rockies lineup, Kelly, it stinks.
Let's be honest. I mean, it has not been a
good lineup all year. So in your opinion, do you
think Nolan Jones is worth picking up because they really
got nothing to lose by starting this kid every day?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, I mean I think that it would make sense
to pick him up and give him a shot because rich,
like you said, I mean, I don't know how much
he's going to help with everybody around him, but he
on his own, I mean, he might be worth it
if you need somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, what do you think of Bobby Miller to another
great performance by him? He's got a one six' four
era now a point nine to one. Whip he's got
nine k's two walks in his first eleven. Innings so,
look it's you, know we're kind of looking At Bobby. Miller.
Now everyone was talking About stone And Gavin stone for The,
dodgers but it seems Like Bobby miller has been the
guy so far that is kind of at least solidified
(03:25):
a little bit of DARE i say job, security because
it just feels like Between uri is working his way
back and the back end of This dodger rotation that
we've always been harping about all year and warning people about.
That Maybe Bobby miller might be the. ANSWER i guess
the question is do you think he's the long term
answer or just a short term, Answer because The dodgers
have bigger aspirations For september and Obviously.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
OCTOBER i think he might be a long term option for.
Them and like you, said the back end of the
rotation's been so messed up and, weird and Really i'm
not a an earious, person so me NEEDED i mean at.
All i'm regarding a little bit THAT i picked up
WHEN i had the choice Between miller And stone THAT
i Grabbed. Stone But i'll get over. IT i, think.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Will, you is there like a support group for?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That Or mike can start one if anybody. WOULD i,
MEAN i think there should be pitching support groups everywhere right,
now so.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That's probably a good. Idea, YES i ACTUALLY i SUPPORT
i support that support. Group SO i don't know if
there's a support group to support that support, group but
we'll figure that. Out, Also Royce, lewis who we were
speculating last, week who actually made the waiver wire video last.
Week so if you haven't already subscribed To Fancy BROS
mlb on the YouTube, SIDE i don't, know you know
what else you know you're doing with your. Time but
(04:39):
we talked About Royce lewis when that was going to
be up in terms of his il stint obligation that he. Had,
well now it's, up and now so is He you
also HAD i think it Was Max kepler go on
THE il. There and this is the thing where you're
looking at The. Twins twins are at the top in
terms of pitching In Major League baseball and in all
those categories you coul possibly Imagine Era whip all that.
(04:59):
Stuff they're down towards the bottom in terms of offense
and they've got to figure something out because they've just
got too much swing and miss for. Them SO i
guess the question Is royce lewis exceptional, athlete a guy
that can play different positions for, you could play the,
infield can play the. Outfield do you Think Royce lewis
is now everyday player From minnesota rest of season or
(05:19):
do you think he is just part of a rotation
potentially with The.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Twins, WELL i didn't understand why they were like fighting
the news that when they Sent miranda, DOWN i thought
for sure they were GONNA i Figured lewis was going
to play third, so and they were, like, no, no
he's shortstopp he. Shortstop but then he comes up and plays.
Third SO i think that he could be a long
term part as long as he. DOESN'T i don't think
his glove's going to cost him anything at. THIRD i
(05:43):
also wouldn't be surprised maybe later If korea and he switched. Places,
Yeah korea could be become a poor Man's Alex, rodriguez
a very poor man's.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The poorest of the, poor you know. It Carls core
is definitely one of those guys, that you, know WHEN
i first saw him when he was eighteen years, old
when he got, DRAFTED i felt, Like, okay this guy's
going to be a franchise. Player and maybe it, is you,
know as he got. Older you, know sometimes people, don't you,
know grow into the bodies the way we think they're going.
To you, know sometimes injuries do take their. Toll and
it seems Like correy is, just you, know one of
(06:18):
those guys is destined to never live up to what
he could have, been which is sad for, him but
only to a degree because he's making millions of. Dollars
So i'm not that sad like. THAT i don't need a
support group for. THAT Todz bradley was charged with one
run and no earned by the way in five and
two thirds yesterday against The, Cubs so so, far looking
at the bigger, PICTURE i know everyone was worried ABOUT. Todj,
(06:40):
Bradley but three six ZERO era one point zero seven
whip forty two strikeouts to five walks over thirty, Innings
now that's WHAT i want to talk about here when
it comes TO. Todj, bradley because everybody was, hyperventilating going
crazy when we got to the point where you, know
he gets sent back down and that's very, frustrating and
then you get an opportunity where he looks terrible down
(07:01):
in TRIPLE a for a couple, starts and it comes
back and he kind of looks like the same. Guy
so what's your temperature ON Taj? BRADLEY i, mean because
the kdo walk ratio is something that we all would
be striving, for and he looks great in that. Regard
The ras are still at the top of The American,
League so are you getting comfortable now with throwing him out,
there not just, matchups but actually throwing him out there
(07:22):
on a regular basis as a starting. Pitcher, OH i
think for.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
SURE i, Mean i'm. SURPRISED i think there should be
an adjusted era when you play The, cubs like you, know,
yep so your era is non negative. Something but with
him being, CONSISTENT i don't really care what happened in TRIPLE.
A i feel like that was just kind of the
bounce rule and maybe he was trying to figure out
like maybe he really was stressed about going from a
six day to five. Day he, Wasn't but, yeah when
(07:47):
he came back, UP i THINK i would start him
against anybody at this. Point and you, know he's going
to get the run support most of the, time and
so he could definitely have some win equity as.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well All, right let's continue on. Here I'll logan out
another rookie looking to talk about career high ten strikeouts
over seven shoutout innings On, monday another terrific performance for.
Him he's got AN era of two seven to, two
the whip is at one three to, one four to
ONE k walk, ratio forty three strikeouts pardon, me in
thirty nine and two thirds. Innings so the Between bobby pitching,
(08:18):
Well Logan allen pitching Well this is another thing WHERE
i think you're frustrated if you Are. Cleveland maybe you're
frustrated if you just play in the Al Central because
The twins kid pitch and can't. Hit The guardians seem
like they're starting to pitch, better they can't. Hit they've been.
Terrible SO i don't know what are your thoughts here
when it comes to what to do with The Cleveland,
(08:38):
guardians because collectively this seems like we're all just looking
around each other trying to figure it. Out what's going,
on what's? Happening is it time to invest because they've
been so bad, Offensively Like Josier maier has been, okay
but nobody else has done anything around. Him so where
are you at with The guardians right?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Overall when it comes to, fancy, WELL i Have Josh.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
NAYLOR i kind of went after him because his expected
stats still say that he's got a lot of potential
and that he should be doing better than what he.
Is BUT i was looking AT dfs yesterday AND i
couldn't come up WITH i, mean there's no one else
in that lineup That i'm really looking at at getting
on my. TEAMS i Mean rosario And kwan maybe in strikeout,
(09:18):
leagues but otherwise It's ramirez and Then naylors you're a little.
Desperate but the, pitchers the, PITCHERS i think. THAT i mean,
AGAIN i wouldn't have any trouble even with the balance.
SCHEDULE i think anybody who gets to play The Ale
central teams, ever is worth streaming. Against so.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
WELL i just did a big segment On sunday On
Sports cared about you know where the teams are collectively right,
Now like the teams that you know in terms that
are crushing it, offensively crushing with, pitching and the teams
that are surprisingly bad. Offensively The cleveland was one of
those surprisingly bad. Teams The astros another one of those
surprisingly bad offensive. Teams AND i don't want to blame
all of it On Jose, brau, who by the, way
(09:54):
has a negative. WAR i just saw. That did you
know THAT i. DID i just saw that right before
we came. ON i you, know this is why social
media is still, around because you get little things like.
THIS i think he's at minus, one is what it,
said AND i just, thought, man that's. Suppressing how can that?
Be how can we be a negative war when it
comes To jose And bray. You but let's get to
(10:16):
the injuries. Here Harrison bader undergoing THE mri on the,
hamstring so we'll see what comes of. That Max munsey
is expected to return to The dodger. LINEUP i think
he pulled that hamstring doing victory lapse on me after
me kind of giving him a crap for the first
two weeks of the season being. Awful but you know
he'll heal. UP i, won't but he. Will braves are
Called Mike. Soroka are you Adding? Soroka is this an
(10:38):
ad for? YOU i know he pitches for The. Braves
it's not a big strikeout. Artist is he like a
hard pass for? You what do you think.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
He's a hard pass for? Me And i'm Really i'm
so excited THAT i get to be here with you
on the day After Paul blackburn, debuted SO i thought
The Soroka blackburn matchup was, like that's the Worst joey
p matchup in the. History AND i don't WANT i
don't want either of.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
THEM i didn't even, see you, know because YESTERDAY i,
was you, know a first. Day finally we could swim
in the pool with the. Kids friday us The sunday
night Was Taylor swift, concert so you, Know monday was
kind of the hangover day From Taylor. Swift you, KNOW
i was singing about my, feelings you, know for three
and a half, hours WHICH i gotta tell. You she was.
Great it was a great. Show Phoebe bridgers, opened she was.
(11:24):
Terrific if you don't know she, is go listen to her.
Stuff she's. Terrific but my, kids, obviously my daughter's just you,
know fantastic evening is, beautiful, magical all that. Stuff but
there was a girl behind us WHO i think is
probably somewhere sixteen seventeen years, old maybe eighteen, NINETEEN i don't,
know she's somewhere in that. Range and she was having
a lot of. Feelings during the. Show she was, screaming
(11:47):
AND i mean at the top of her lungs, intensely
almost as if it were like A metallica concert or
or like A Judas priest. Concert but she was doing
it in, ballads which was really confusing to, Me like
ballads that were more like tender Has gotta, thing and
she's screaming me like AND i as loud as she.
Can it was. Weird it was, fun have you been
(12:07):
to the tailor swift?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Ever, NO i have, Not BUT i do consider myself
a swifty for the most, part a little too. OLD
i didn't like hit that, middle you.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
KNOW i was, like you're never too old to be a.
SWIFTY i. DON'T i don't Think i'm not too. Old
you're certainly Not kelly, right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And but that's my. Thing like her stuff is. Universal
who hasn't felt what she? Felt and if you don't feel,
it just go to a concert and listen to the
sixteen year old bind you scream sad.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Songs it's screamed bad ballads as though it were like death.
Metal like the intensity level was was ALMOST i was
a little. Afraid security was. Close that was, good but
a magical night was had by. ALL i will tell
you THAT i like The folcalore. Album that's my. Jam but,
Anyway Liam hendrix is, back so that's good. News Cedric
(12:52):
mullins is. Not he's gonna undergo further testing after being removed.
Yesterday he's got a groin. Strain those are always, tricky
so expect him to go in the. EYE i expect
him to miss a fair amount of. Time we're, talking you,
know weeks two, MONTHS i would imagine when it comes
to the groin string And mullens is kind of another
frustrating dude because he WAS i think one of these
recent bilows and a lot of people just made trades
(13:13):
for and that's always the, worst, Right like you see
a guy underperforming that you like the, player you, go
you make the trade for the, player and then the
player gets. Hurt so this is a real kick in
the pants. There on that. One Lars nootbar was removed
From monday's game with back. Spasms that's probably Why welsh
isn't here today because you know he's running to give
a massage To Lars. Nutbar welsh, is, okay, everybody we
just had a technical hiccup here. Today just. Joking Pete,
(13:36):
fairbanks this is an interesting. One back to the il
with the hip inflammation and a couple of weeks, Ago
kelly on The Waiver wire, VIDEO i was talking, about you,
know you Add adam because you, know just in Case
fairbanks doesn't come back healthy or whatever that. Is and
then he came back pretty, quickly AND i was, like, okay,
well you, know maybe it's all, Right but it turns
(13:57):
out that actually seems like good. Advice so are you
going to right back to the wavewire there when it
comes to another absence For. Fairbanks first of.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
All i'm happy that you sound surprised that you gave good,
advice but.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
TYPICALLY i mean that's usually the.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Case, YEAH i MEAN i would definitely go out and
get at him. Again this is a team that wins a,
lot and SO i think the saves will be. THERE
i trust. HIM i am also Picturing welsh listening To
Sad Taylor swift looking at pictures Of Lars snoop bar right.
Now so, Yeah i'm a little, distracted BUT i THINK
i Think adam is definitely worth the pick. Up.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah. Probably by the, Way i'm looking At Paul blackburn's
line for me, yesterday six, strikeouts four, innings just saying,
Yeah blackburn was such a funny thing last, year because
it's not THAT i Liked Paul. Blackburn all THAT i
said was until it goes, bus just keep rolling them out.
There and it wasn't like two stars or, four so
it was like twelve by the time we got to
the Bad Paul blackburn and eventually got figured. Out. Whatever
(14:53):
But Mike mayer will never let me live that, down
but sometimes you just gotta go with the. Flow lance,
mccullors he has no. Flow he is no longer throwing
off a, mount so it's over. Right you could drop him, Everywhere,
LIKE i don't think you're going to see him this,
year do.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
YOU i didn't real understand why anyone drafted him in
the first, place so good, point SO i think, that,
yeah you just drop him at this. Point all.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Right, Now luckily for, YOU i have NO ai machine
things because it was a long, weekend so no CREEPY
ai stuff. Today we'll do that another. Time but we
do have the three up and three. Downs So Julio
Rodriguez homer drove in three. Runs let's. Go this will
be the second half Of. Julio we we have fifty quiet.
Games we're gonna have one hundred loud games From Julio.
Rodriguez there you. Go i'm not giving up on my.
(15:34):
Guy Griffin canning another guy who's starting to figure it out.
Again if there are kind of some shaky outings there
last two much better nine strikeouts and six innings for
him And Marcus. Stroman maybe you're the right person to
talk about this BECAUSE i can't figure out why two
five nine era a whip under. One he's got sixty two,
k's twenty four walks and seventy three innings in his
(15:55):
first twelve, starts and this one was you, know gets
the pop here and then against the rays coming Sorry
padres coming, up just against the. Rays what do you
make of This Marcus stroman. Renaissance what's he done differently
where he's become such a steady presence Because stroman historically
has always been, that you, know two good, starts two bad,
starts one in between kind of.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Guy, Yeah i've been shocked to watch him, pitch but,
TRULY i, MEAN i you, KNOW i kind of thought
of him more as an innings eater and that he
wasn't going to necessarily hurt. You but you, couldn't, really
like you, said you couldn't really count on like him
being a steady. Presence and he's just he's mixing in
the pitches that just they can't seem to hit. It
(16:36):
it's Like i'm Not i'm, not, well shall hang with,
me but BUT i feel like.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
He started making really bad like mixed. Metaphors then you,
know then we'll be the real judge of.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That i'll come up with a. Couple but, yeah AND
i think with BARN i Think barnhardt has been catching,
him AND i feel like the two of them just
have this system and it's just working. Perfectly so really
the absence Of Wilson contraras is the answer to. This but,
overall he just he. Does he seems like he's mixing
pitches and also he's he's got that swagger that he,
(17:08):
has but it's lasted a lot longer than like the
first two starts In april that he Usually.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah he is a very emotional guy in the. MOUND
i mean watching him even back in The toronto days he,
was but his met days, especially he's very emotional, guy
WHICH i, think like those guys always worry me just
a little bit intensity good, EMOTIONAL i think is is
a little bit more. Cautionary that's the one to me
THAT i always watched with the pictures because you don't
want them to get too high or too. Low in those.
(17:33):
Things intensity is, great you, know make sures are very.
Intense you, know Justin, verlin they're very intense. Guys strollman
sometimes would let THE i think the emotions get the
best of. Him but whatever is going. On you're absolutely.
Right and, now of, Course Wilson contreras brought all of
his catching problems with him To Saint, louis Which i'm
sure made you very. Happy three, Down Joey, gallo stop
(17:53):
me if you heard this one, before over five with three,
K's Louis robert over four with three, k's And Bryce
miller finally. Happened we had a Bad Bryce miller. Start of,
COURSE i put money on him this weekend For rookie
of The year because he's at eight to. One i'm, like,
look guy's been, unbelievable but he's been historically, unbelievable so
this was bound to. Happen, however four and two, thirds three,
(18:13):
strikeouts eleven, hits eight earned, Runs he didn't walk. Anybody
the two homers that really what killed. HIM i have
no concerns right now About Bryce. MILLER i think this
is just kind of was bound to, happen quote unquote
some days you don't have. It are you feeling the same?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Way absolute one hundred. Percent so if if somebody is, panicking,
go you, know trade Them stroman.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
There you, go trade Them. Strowman all, right let's get,
to of, course our favorite thing to, do which is
picked some prizes for, today and if you were going
to pick, prizes go to prize picks dot com and
use that promo code leading. Off when you do get
one hundred percent to posit match up to one hundred
dollars again leading, off you can remember that it's the
name of the. Show to me, Today i'm looking At
Kyle gibson against The cleveland who strikes out a. Ton
(18:55):
i'm gonna go the over on the four. Strikeouts four
is a low. Number can you get me, Five Kyle.
GIBBS i have faith in. YOU i love when Good
Kyle gibson shows. Up that's one of my favorite. Things
every year you get the Good Kyle gibson. Runs it
happens every so. Often mookie bets eight and a half
Hitter fantasy score and then you Got Bryce elder Pitcher
fantasy score thirty one point. Five it's got a great
matchup Against oakland. TODAY i mean they strike out a. Ton,
(19:17):
also can you get a little bit more than the
Normal Bryce elder? Strikeout can you get to? Five maybe?
SIX i think so get a quality starting to. Win next.
Thing you, know he's crushing that crushing life betting, wise, Today,
Kelly i'm looking At minnesota on the money line at
minus one, fifteen a lot of, minuses a lot of
big juice, Today Zach gallon six and a half k's
and the over at minus one. TWELVE i think what
(19:38):
you do with some of these is you look for
the you, know just double it up within the same game.
Parlay so you Go gallon six and a half over
And arizona to. Win you put the two things together
and you get a little bit better. Number same thing
With elder two and a half earned. RUNS i take
the under here on this one because he's been so
good in that. Regard it's minus one. Sixty put it
along With atlanta win and then Maybe Ronald acuna within
(20:02):
total base prop or something like. That so you got
to kind of build it out a little. Bit and
Then Kyle gibson his numbers three and a half strikeouts
today over on betting pros minus one forty. Eight but,
again but With, Baltimore Adley rutchman one other thing that
you think again actually count. ON i think you're in good.
Shape anything catch your eye in the betting market, today Kilp.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well i'm looking at price picks, currently and there's a
taco On shane McClanahan five and a half strikeouts and
he's facing The. CUBS i feel, LIKE i feel like
that sounds. GOOD i also wouldn't be afraid to put
money on him when getting the, win for if you
were looking for like a plus, bet a plus money,
bet that might be worth. It and THEN i really
(20:41):
Like bobaschet And jorge So lair's hit or fantasy.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Scores hora So, lair the GUY i, mean can't be.
Stopped that's another guy that from my you, KNOW i
have those certain infatuations certain, Players and when he came
up with The, CUBBIES i was, like oh, man this
Guy LIKE i like this, guy like he just looks
like that, dude you. Know and it's always the, struggles
like it just couldn't ever put it. TOGETHER i don't,
(21:05):
know it's it's Sometimes i'm always. FRUSTRATED i don't know
if it's work, ETHIC i don't know if it's the
mental approach to the game or whatever it, is but
it always frustrates. Me we see like a, big strong
guy that looks like he should just absolutely just go
up there and, crush and then you see moments what he,
does and then all of a sudden it just bottoms out.
Consistently it's so. FRUSTRATING i hate. It it's like a.

Penguin I'm joey. P we'll see you next. Time, kids
see you
Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Bros. MLB. This is Leading
Off Live, brought to you by Price Pick. Sign up
for Price Picks today with the promote code leading Off.
When you do, it's me Joey P Joe, He's a
P and no, that's not the Wealth. So I just
want everybody to know that, of course, is the wonky
Penguin joining us today, Kelly Kirby. So it's great that
Kelly jumped in last minute. It's actually such an incredible
team player. Look at you. What's it like to get
(00:27):
called up to the big leagues and you know, having
no idea that it's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's kind of surprising. I called my parents. I told
them that, like I got called up, I get to
talk to Joe. It's just taken off.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
So I know it's going in the opposite direction for you.
I wish you know. I'm sad that you know, you
had to talk to me for a half hour, but
I'm grateful that you're here. We've got a lot of
baseball to get to and we're gonna get it all
down for you. Let's start with it. Seems like the
rumors are buildings some cryptic Instagram posts, which is how
everything happens nowadays. You know who's following who and stops
(01:01):
following this person who tweets something. But it seems like
Ellie Dela Cruz might be getting his call up as well,
not just Kelly Kirby this week, sooner than later. Now,
this is very exciting. Cruise has been absolutely spectacular in
Triple A. We were hoping he would get the call
and then it was Matt mcclan. We've been waiting and waiting, Kelly.
Do you think there's any fire where this smoke is
when it comes to Dela Cruz? And should everyone be
(01:23):
adding him because he's still available in more than half
a league's right now?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Well, having watched my cubs get swept by them over
the weekend, I'm not sure if they need more firepower,
but it would make sense for them to call him up.
I mean, what do they have to lose? And yeah,
I think you should go get him. I mean Twitter's
never wrong, but never ever, but usually when things start
kind of talking like this, I feel like there's something
to it when it comes to prospects. So I'd pick
(01:49):
him up somewhere.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, I would too. It certainly seems like it's moving
that direction. But you know, if you're obviously you know,
if you're listening to the show, you probably added him already.
You're one of those forty percent of people already have him.
A good weekend for Aaron Judge, and yesterday as well
a Memorial Day on not one but two homers. So
Aaron Judge continues to be Aaron Judge. Corey Segert two
for five with a three run blast, so good days
for him. But Kelly, it seems like the last couple
(02:12):
of days dominated by the rookies. So we got to
get into the rookie LOOKI because Nolan Jones got called up. Now,
Olan Jones was a player that you know I've been
talking about too that really has nothing left to prove
a triple A. Of course, then they sat him af
they're playing him a couple days and I don't know
what the hell they're doing there, but he was slashing
three point fifty six, four eighty one, seven eleven with
twelve homers five steals. I know it's the PCL, but
(02:34):
when you look at this Rockies lineup, Kelly, it stinks.
Let's be honest. I mean, it has not been a
good lineup all year. So in your opinion, do you
think Nolan Jones is worth picking up because they really
got nothing to lose by starting this kid every day?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, I mean I think that it would make sense
to pick him up and give him a shot because rich,
like you said, I mean, I don't know how much
he's going to help with everybody around him, but he
on his own, I mean, he might be worth it
if you need somebody.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah, what do you think of Bobby Miller to another
great performance by him? He's got a one six' four
era now a point nine to one. Whip he's got
nine k's two walks in his first eleven. Innings so,
look it's you, know we're kind of looking At Bobby. Miller.
Now everyone was talking About stone And Gavin stone for The,
dodgers but it seems Like Bobby miller has been the
guy so far that is kind of at least solidified
(03:25):
a little bit of DARE i say job, security because
it just feels like Between uri is working his way
back and the back end of This dodger rotation that
we've always been harping about all year and warning people about.
That Maybe Bobby miller might be the. ANSWER i guess
the question is do you think he's the long term
answer or just a short term, Answer because The dodgers
have bigger aspirations For september and Obviously.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
OCTOBER i think he might be a long term option for.
Them and like you, said the back end of the
rotation's been so messed up and, weird and Really i'm
not a an earious, person so me NEEDED i mean at.
All i'm regarding a little bit THAT i picked up
WHEN i had the choice Between miller And stone THAT
i Grabbed. Stone But i'll get over. IT i, think.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Will, you is there like a support group for?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
That Or mike can start one if anybody. WOULD i,
MEAN i think there should be pitching support groups everywhere right,
now so.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That's probably a good. Idea, YES i ACTUALLY i SUPPORT
i support that support. Group SO i don't know if
there's a support group to support that support, group but
we'll figure that. Out, Also Royce, lewis who we were
speculating last, week who actually made the waiver wire video last.
Week so if you haven't already subscribed To Fancy BROS
mlb on the YouTube, SIDE i don't, know you know
what else you know you're doing with your. Time but
(04:39):
we talked About Royce lewis when that was going to
be up in terms of his il stint obligation that he. Had,
well now it's, up and now so is He you
also HAD i think it Was Max kepler go on
THE il. There and this is the thing where you're
looking at The. Twins twins are at the top in
terms of pitching In Major League baseball and in all
those categories you coul possibly Imagine Era whip all that.
(04:59):
Stuff they're down towards the bottom in terms of offense
and they've got to figure something out because they've just
got too much swing and miss for. Them SO i
guess the question Is royce lewis exceptional, athlete a guy
that can play different positions for, you could play the,
infield can play the. Outfield do you Think Royce lewis
is now everyday player From minnesota rest of season or
(05:19):
do you think he is just part of a rotation
potentially with The.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Twins, WELL i didn't understand why they were like fighting
the news that when they Sent miranda, DOWN i thought
for sure they were GONNA i Figured lewis was going
to play third, so and they were, like, no, no
he's shortstopp he. Shortstop but then he comes up and plays.
Third SO i think that he could be a long
term part as long as he. DOESN'T i don't think
his glove's going to cost him anything at. THIRD i
(05:43):
also wouldn't be surprised maybe later If korea and he switched. Places,
Yeah korea could be become a poor Man's Alex, rodriguez
a very poor man's.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The poorest of the, poor you know. It Carls core
is definitely one of those guys, that you, know WHEN
i first saw him when he was eighteen years, old
when he got, DRAFTED i felt, Like, okay this guy's
going to be a franchise. Player and maybe it, is you,
know as he got. Older you, know sometimes people, don't you,
know grow into the bodies the way we think they're going.
To you, know sometimes injuries do take their. Toll and
it seems Like correy is, just you, know one of
(06:18):
those guys is destined to never live up to what
he could have, been which is sad for, him but
only to a degree because he's making millions of. Dollars
So i'm not that sad like. THAT i don't need a
support group for. THAT Todz bradley was charged with one
run and no earned by the way in five and
two thirds yesterday against The, Cubs so so, far looking
at the bigger, PICTURE i know everyone was worried ABOUT. Todj,
(06:40):
Bradley but three six ZERO era one point zero seven
whip forty two strikeouts to five walks over thirty, Innings
now that's WHAT i want to talk about here when
it comes TO. Todj, bradley because everybody was, hyperventilating going
crazy when we got to the point where you, know
he gets sent back down and that's very, frustrating and
then you get an opportunity where he looks terrible down
(07:01):
in TRIPLE a for a couple, starts and it comes
back and he kind of looks like the same. Guy
so what's your temperature ON Taj? BRADLEY i, mean because
the kdo walk ratio is something that we all would
be striving, for and he looks great in that. Regard
The ras are still at the top of The American,
League so are you getting comfortable now with throwing him out,
there not just, matchups but actually throwing him out there
(07:22):
on a regular basis as a starting. Pitcher, OH i
think for.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
SURE i, Mean i'm. SURPRISED i think there should be
an adjusted era when you play The, cubs like you, know,
yep so your era is non negative. Something but with
him being, CONSISTENT i don't really care what happened in TRIPLE.
A i feel like that was just kind of the
bounce rule and maybe he was trying to figure out
like maybe he really was stressed about going from a
six day to five. Day he, Wasn't but, yeah when
(07:47):
he came back, UP i THINK i would start him
against anybody at this. Point and you, know he's going
to get the run support most of the, time and
so he could definitely have some win equity as.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Well All, right let's continue on. Here I'll logan out
another rookie looking to talk about career high ten strikeouts
over seven shoutout innings On, monday another terrific performance for.
Him he's got AN era of two seven to, two
the whip is at one three to, one four to
ONE k walk, ratio forty three strikeouts pardon, me in
thirty nine and two thirds. Innings so the Between bobby pitching,
(08:18):
Well Logan allen pitching Well this is another thing WHERE
i think you're frustrated if you Are. Cleveland maybe you're
frustrated if you just play in the Al Central because
The twins kid pitch and can't. Hit The guardians seem
like they're starting to pitch, better they can't. Hit they've been.
Terrible SO i don't know what are your thoughts here
when it comes to what to do with The Cleveland,
(08:38):
guardians because collectively this seems like we're all just looking
around each other trying to figure it. Out what's going,
on what's? Happening is it time to invest because they've
been so bad, Offensively Like Josier maier has been, okay
but nobody else has done anything around. Him so where
are you at with The guardians right?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Overall when it comes to, fancy, WELL i Have Josh.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
NAYLOR i kind of went after him because his expected
stats still say that he's got a lot of potential
and that he should be doing better than what he.
Is BUT i was looking AT dfs yesterday AND i
couldn't come up WITH i, mean there's no one else
in that lineup That i'm really looking at at getting
on my. TEAMS i Mean rosario And kwan maybe in strikeout,
(09:18):
leagues but otherwise It's ramirez and Then naylors you're a little.
Desperate but the, pitchers the, PITCHERS i think. THAT i mean,
AGAIN i wouldn't have any trouble even with the balance.
SCHEDULE i think anybody who gets to play The Ale
central teams, ever is worth streaming. Against so.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
WELL i just did a big segment On sunday On
Sports cared about you know where the teams are collectively right,
Now like the teams that you know in terms that
are crushing it, offensively crushing with, pitching and the teams
that are surprisingly bad. Offensively The cleveland was one of
those surprisingly bad. Teams The astros another one of those
surprisingly bad offensive. Teams AND i don't want to blame
all of it On Jose, brau, who by the, way
(09:54):
has a negative. WAR i just saw. That did you
know THAT i. DID i just saw that right before
we came. ON i you, know this is why social
media is still, around because you get little things like.
THIS i think he's at minus, one is what it,
said AND i just, thought, man that's. Suppressing how can that?
Be how can we be a negative war when it
comes To jose And bray. You but let's get to
(10:16):
the injuries. Here Harrison bader undergoing THE mri on the,
hamstring so we'll see what comes of. That Max munsey
is expected to return to The dodger. LINEUP i think
he pulled that hamstring doing victory lapse on me after
me kind of giving him a crap for the first
two weeks of the season being. Awful but you know
he'll heal. UP i, won't but he. Will braves are
Called Mike. Soroka are you Adding? Soroka is this an
(10:38):
ad for? YOU i know he pitches for The. Braves
it's not a big strikeout. Artist is he like a
hard pass for? You what do you think.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
He's a hard pass for? Me And i'm Really i'm
so excited THAT i get to be here with you
on the day After Paul blackburn, debuted SO i thought
The Soroka blackburn matchup was, like that's the Worst joey
p matchup in the. History AND i don't WANT i
don't want either of.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
THEM i didn't even, see you, know because YESTERDAY i,
was you, know a first. Day finally we could swim
in the pool with the. Kids friday us The sunday
night Was Taylor swift, concert so you, Know monday was
kind of the hangover day From Taylor. Swift you, KNOW
i was singing about my, feelings you, know for three
and a half, hours WHICH i gotta tell. You she was.
Great it was a great. Show Phoebe bridgers, opened she was.
(11:24):
Terrific if you don't know she, is go listen to her.
Stuff she's. Terrific but my, kids, obviously my daughter's just you,
know fantastic evening is, beautiful, magical all that. Stuff but
there was a girl behind us WHO i think is
probably somewhere sixteen seventeen years, old maybe eighteen, NINETEEN i don't,
know she's somewhere in that. Range and she was having
a lot of. Feelings during the. Show she was, screaming
(11:47):
AND i mean at the top of her lungs, intensely
almost as if it were like A metallica concert or
or like A Judas priest. Concert but she was doing
it in, ballads which was really confusing to, Me like
ballads that were more like tender Has gotta, thing and
she's screaming me like AND i as loud as she.
Can it was. Weird it was, fun have you been
(12:07):
to the tailor swift?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Ever, NO i have, Not BUT i do consider myself
a swifty for the most, part a little too. OLD
i didn't like hit that, middle you.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
KNOW i was, like you're never too old to be a.
SWIFTY i. DON'T i don't Think i'm not too. Old
you're certainly Not kelly, right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
And but that's my. Thing like her stuff is. Universal
who hasn't felt what she? Felt and if you don't feel,
it just go to a concert and listen to the
sixteen year old bind you scream sad.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Songs it's screamed bad ballads as though it were like death.
Metal like the intensity level was was ALMOST i was
a little. Afraid security was. Close that was, good but
a magical night was had by. ALL i will tell
you THAT i like The folcalore. Album that's my. Jam but,
Anyway Liam hendrix is, back so that's good. News Cedric
(12:52):
mullins is. Not he's gonna undergo further testing after being removed.
Yesterday he's got a groin. Strain those are always, tricky
so expect him to go in the. EYE i expect
him to miss a fair amount of. Time we're, talking you,
know weeks two, MONTHS i would imagine when it comes
to the groin string And mullens is kind of another
frustrating dude because he WAS i think one of these
recent bilows and a lot of people just made trades
(13:13):
for and that's always the, worst, Right like you see
a guy underperforming that you like the, player you, go
you make the trade for the, player and then the
player gets. Hurt so this is a real kick in
the pants. There on that. One Lars nootbar was removed
From monday's game with back. Spasms that's probably Why welsh
isn't here today because you know he's running to give
a massage To Lars. Nutbar welsh, is, okay, everybody we
just had a technical hiccup here. Today just. Joking Pete,
(13:36):
fairbanks this is an interesting. One back to the il
with the hip inflammation and a couple of weeks, Ago
kelly on The Waiver wire, VIDEO i was talking, about you,
know you Add adam because you, know just in Case
fairbanks doesn't come back healthy or whatever that. Is and
then he came back pretty, quickly AND i was, like, okay,
well you, know maybe it's all, Right but it turns
(13:57):
out that actually seems like good. Advice so are you
going to right back to the wavewire there when it
comes to another absence For. Fairbanks first of.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
All i'm happy that you sound surprised that you gave good,
advice but.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
TYPICALLY i mean that's usually the.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Case, YEAH i MEAN i would definitely go out and
get at him. Again this is a team that wins a,
lot and SO i think the saves will be. THERE
i trust. HIM i am also Picturing welsh listening To
Sad Taylor swift looking at pictures Of Lars snoop bar right.
Now so, Yeah i'm a little, distracted BUT i THINK
i Think adam is definitely worth the pick. Up.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Yeah. Probably by the, Way i'm looking At Paul blackburn's
line for me, yesterday six, strikeouts four, innings just saying,
Yeah blackburn was such a funny thing last, year because
it's not THAT i Liked Paul. Blackburn all THAT i
said was until it goes, bus just keep rolling them out.
There and it wasn't like two stars or, four so
it was like twelve by the time we got to
the Bad Paul blackburn and eventually got figured. Out. Whatever
(14:53):
But Mike mayer will never let me live that, down
but sometimes you just gotta go with the. Flow lance,
mccullors he has no. Flow he is no longer throwing
off a, mount so it's over. Right you could drop him, Everywhere,
LIKE i don't think you're going to see him this,
year do.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
YOU i didn't real understand why anyone drafted him in
the first, place so good, point SO i think, that,
yeah you just drop him at this. Point all.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Right, Now luckily for, YOU i have NO ai machine
things because it was a long, weekend so no CREEPY
ai stuff. Today we'll do that another. Time but we
do have the three up and three. Downs So Julio
Rodriguez homer drove in three. Runs let's. Go this will
be the second half Of. Julio we we have fifty quiet.
Games we're gonna have one hundred loud games From Julio.
Rodriguez there you. Go i'm not giving up on my.
(15:34):
Guy Griffin canning another guy who's starting to figure it out.
Again if there are kind of some shaky outings there
last two much better nine strikeouts and six innings for
him And Marcus. Stroman maybe you're the right person to
talk about this BECAUSE i can't figure out why two
five nine era a whip under. One he's got sixty two,
k's twenty four walks and seventy three innings in his
(15:55):
first twelve, starts and this one was you, know gets
the pop here and then against the rays coming Sorry
padres coming, up just against the. Rays what do you
make of This Marcus stroman. Renaissance what's he done differently
where he's become such a steady presence Because stroman historically
has always been, that you, know two good, starts two bad,
starts one in between kind of.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Guy, Yeah i've been shocked to watch him, pitch but,
TRULY i, MEAN i you, KNOW i kind of thought
of him more as an innings eater and that he
wasn't going to necessarily hurt. You but you, couldn't, really
like you, said you couldn't really count on like him
being a steady. Presence and he's just he's mixing in
the pitches that just they can't seem to hit. It
(16:36):
it's Like i'm Not i'm, not, well shall hang with,
me but BUT i feel like.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
He started making really bad like mixed. Metaphors then you,
know then we'll be the real judge of.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That i'll come up with a. Couple but, yeah AND
i think with BARN i Think barnhardt has been catching,
him AND i feel like the two of them just
have this system and it's just working. Perfectly so really
the absence Of Wilson contraras is the answer to. This but,
overall he just he. Does he seems like he's mixing
pitches and also he's he's got that swagger that he,
(17:08):
has but it's lasted a lot longer than like the
first two starts In april that he Usually.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah he is a very emotional guy in the. MOUND
i mean watching him even back in The toronto days he,
was but his met days, especially he's very emotional, guy
WHICH i, think like those guys always worry me just
a little bit intensity good, EMOTIONAL i think is is
a little bit more. Cautionary that's the one to me
THAT i always watched with the pictures because you don't
want them to get too high or too. Low in those.
(17:33):
Things intensity is, great you, know make sures are very.
Intense you, know Justin, verlin they're very intense. Guys strollman
sometimes would let THE i think the emotions get the
best of. Him but whatever is going. On you're absolutely.
Right and, now of, Course Wilson contreras brought all of
his catching problems with him To Saint, louis Which i'm
sure made you very. Happy three, Down Joey, gallo stop
(17:53):
me if you heard this one, before over five with three,
K's Louis robert over four with three, k's And Bryce
miller finally. Happened we had a Bad Bryce miller. Start of,
COURSE i put money on him this weekend For rookie
of The year because he's at eight to. One i'm, like,
look guy's been, unbelievable but he's been historically, unbelievable so
this was bound to. Happen, however four and two, thirds three,
(18:13):
strikeouts eleven, hits eight earned, Runs he didn't walk. Anybody
the two homers that really what killed. HIM i have
no concerns right now About Bryce. MILLER i think this
is just kind of was bound to, happen quote unquote
some days you don't have. It are you feeling the same?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Way absolute one hundred. Percent so if if somebody is, panicking,
go you, know trade Them stroman.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
There you, go trade Them. Strowman all, right let's get,
to of, course our favorite thing to, do which is
picked some prizes for, today and if you were going
to pick, prizes go to prize picks dot com and
use that promo code leading. Off when you do get
one hundred percent to posit match up to one hundred
dollars again leading, off you can remember that it's the
name of the. Show to me, Today i'm looking At
Kyle gibson against The cleveland who strikes out a. Ton
(18:55):
i'm gonna go the over on the four. Strikeouts four
is a low. Number can you get me, Five Kyle.
GIBBS i have faith in. YOU i love when Good
Kyle gibson shows. Up that's one of my favorite. Things
every year you get the Good Kyle gibson. Runs it
happens every so. Often mookie bets eight and a half
Hitter fantasy score and then you Got Bryce elder Pitcher
fantasy score thirty one point. Five it's got a great
matchup Against oakland. TODAY i mean they strike out a. Ton,
(19:17):
also can you get a little bit more than the
Normal Bryce elder? Strikeout can you get to? Five maybe?
SIX i think so get a quality starting to. Win next.
Thing you, know he's crushing that crushing life betting, wise, Today,
Kelly i'm looking At minnesota on the money line at
minus one, fifteen a lot of, minuses a lot of
big juice, Today Zach gallon six and a half k's
and the over at minus one. TWELVE i think what
(19:38):
you do with some of these is you look for
the you, know just double it up within the same game.
Parlay so you Go gallon six and a half over
And arizona to. Win you put the two things together
and you get a little bit better. Number same thing
With elder two and a half earned. RUNS i take
the under here on this one because he's been so
good in that. Regard it's minus one. Sixty put it
along With atlanta win and then Maybe Ronald acuna within
(20:02):
total base prop or something like. That so you got
to kind of build it out a little. Bit and
Then Kyle gibson his numbers three and a half strikeouts
today over on betting pros minus one forty. Eight but,
again but With, Baltimore Adley rutchman one other thing that
you think again actually count. ON i think you're in good.
Shape anything catch your eye in the betting market, today Kilp.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well i'm looking at price picks, currently and there's a
taco On shane McClanahan five and a half strikeouts and
he's facing The. CUBS i feel, LIKE i feel like
that sounds. GOOD i also wouldn't be afraid to put
money on him when getting the, win for if you
were looking for like a plus, bet a plus money,
bet that might be worth. It and THEN i really
(20:41):
Like bobaschet And jorge So lair's hit or fantasy.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Scores hora So, lair the GUY i, mean can't be.
Stopped that's another guy that from my you, KNOW i
have those certain infatuations certain, Players and when he came
up with The, CUBBIES i was, like oh, man this
Guy LIKE i like this, guy like he just looks
like that, dude you. Know and it's always the, struggles
like it just couldn't ever put it. TOGETHER i don't,
(21:05):
know it's it's Sometimes i'm always. FRUSTRATED i don't know
if it's work, ETHIC i don't know if it's the
mental approach to the game or whatever it, is but
it always frustrates. Me we see like a, big strong
guy that looks like he should just absolutely just go
up there and, crush and then you see moments what he,
does and then all of a sudden it just bottoms out.
Consistently it's so. FRUSTRATING i hate. It it's like a.
Waste and HERE i am five eight barely and going
