| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:09.9 | Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pro's MLB. |
| 0:12.5 | This is the Fantasy Baseball podcast. |
| 0:14.5 | It is me Joey P. |
| 0:15.4 | Joe Pisa Pia. |
| 0:16.2 | With me, of course, is the Welsh. |
| 0:18.0 | And it's all of you. |
| 0:19.0 | The Peanuts, the Cracker Jacks here, watching us on the YouTube channel, subscribe, like this video, drop your comments below. You could win some cool stuff here. We're giving away on the channel this month. So, it's time to look ahead to the waiver wire for the pitching side of things. And of course, we've had some injuries here this week, including Max Fried, who's going to miss some time on that injury wagon. So not a lot of great options. |
| 0:38.5 | Welsh and I, before the show, we're just talking about how it might be a tougher week here to kind of find some arms that can really make an impact. So instead, we're going to find some guys that maybe can at least hold the fort down. And I'm going to start with J.T. Ginn of the Athletics. So far on the year, 10 appearances, seven starts. He's two and one, 43 innings for him, 34 strikeout, 16 walks. |
| 0:57.3 | So not a huge strikeout guy, but over |
| 0:59.0 | his last two starts, 14 innings, 11 strikeouts, just two walks. He's got a 0.64 ERA over |
| 1:04.8 | that stretch and a point, uh, excuse me, a 1.07 whip. So Ginn has been very solid these last two outings. He's giving you at least quality start opportunities. Is he a guy that's going to make a huge impact? Is he going to knock your socks off with the strikeout totals? Probably not. But the athletics are starting to play some better baseball here. They're getting some infusions of some of the young players, too. Nick Kurtz starting to heat up a |
| 1:27.8 | little bit as well. So I like where things are going here for the athletics. So right now, J.T. Ginn is a guy that is available in a lot of leagues. Right now, he is roster in just 10% of leagues. And that was on CBS, which means he is free 99 everywhere else. So if you need somebody as a streamer for the next couple weeks. |
| 1:43.4 | While you have some injuries to deal with, |
| 1:44.8 | I think J.T. Ginn can at least kind of get you by. |
| 1:47.1 | Welsh, or you have some injuries to deal with, I think J.T. Ginn can at least kind of get you by. Welsh, what are you looking |
| 1:48.6 | at right now when it comes to the pitching waiver wire that seems a little thin here in mid-May? |
| 1:53.5 | Yeah, the one thing I wanted to say before I see anybody is to not repeat ourselves, obviously |
| 1:59.7 | moved away from players that we've talked about before. |
| 2:02.8 | But like going through and picking some of these names, there are still some of the players we've |
| 2:07.8 | talked about in episodes that are performing well. Jansen Junk is another one of those. |
