| 0:00.0 | Welcome in friendos to leaning off on fantasy pros. I am Chris Welsh and joining me today is all of the energy. It is going to hit you like a ton of bricks. He is Mr. Energy. Mr. |
| 0:29.3 | Michael Govy is in the house sitting in the co-host seat with me. What's up, Michael? Well, how are you doing my friend? We cut in a close here this morning, but it's morning for you. We've hit noon on the East Coast and I'm feeling good. I'm ready to rock. I want to talk baseball with you. And I don't think there's anything else I'd rather be doing right now. Maybe taking a nap, but I can always do that later because you're come first. I appreciate that. Yeah, in the chat, I said top of the morning to everybody or as we would say on the West Coast, good afternoon because it's 90 |
| 0:59.3 | I'm here. You guys over on your East Coast, you're having lunch and you're doing all that type of stuff. I don't want to touch any food. You guys are having all of that. Yeah, I go as Govy I was mentioning cutting a little short. It was about 20 seconds before I go, but I believe you just moved. I believe you just moved to. Did you move to the Canada? Did I hear? You know, you usually those who that know me if you've never seen me before. Howdy, how you doing? But those that have seen my show, the Plots of Podcast or seen me else where I always got top notch backgrounds. |
| 1:29.3 | I always make sure I got the green screen rolling with quality lighting because that's just what I do, but I am doing my very first show ever from the great country known as Canada. It's right. I am in Canada right now. Wow. You're from the Canada right now. Also big news. If you guys don't follow Michael on Twitter, MJ Govy, Michael, it was just announced yesterday that is joining FTN. So he's got his own podcast, the Plots of Podcast, but also going to be over with FTN. So congratulations, my friend. I think you're going to be doing a bunch of football content. So the baseball people will. |
| 1:59.3 | Boo in his set you here, but I don't know. You'll probably have the baseball content. No, baseball is very much a part of it. It is. That's like I'm doing college football stuff as well, but baseball was the main thing to our main mad Vlad said, |
| 2:11.0 | Ler, he really wants to grow the baseball product there and we're all about baseball there. So that will definitely be a focus. |
| 2:16.8 | There you go. Well, Michael, I are going to go through all the motions with you as we've had a star studded line up the entire week of every |
| 2:24.4 | bunch from Mike Curlin to Nick Pollock to the debut of the wonky penguin. I hope you guys have been enjoying it. |
| 2:33.4 | But let's get into baseball and we've got all the things under the sun. And number one, the Los Angeles Angels hit seven solo home runs last |
| 2:42.4 | night to biotani and they lost eight to seven magnificent. That's a piece of artwork right there. Mike, I have a couple notes here. |
| 2:52.1 | They're both from codify and I found these fascinating. |
| 2:54.9 | Shohei Otani became the first angel ever to hit multiple home runs in three different games that the team lost in one season codified then double down. |
| 3:07.4 | The most multi-homer games that resulted in losses in 2022. |
| 3:13.2 | Shohei Otani is the leader with three, as I just mentioned, there were 36 other batters that had one. |
| 3:20.7 | I don't know if you've looked at the show. Have you looked at the show sheet yet? I certainly have. Yes. |
| 3:24.9 | All right. Because number two on that list, Kyle Schwarber. So Kyle Schwarber had to the multi-homers that resulted in losses, 36 other Shohei Otani three. |
| 3:35.4 | That is a spectacle that I think is hard to defeat and also brings up a question to me, Michael. |
| 3:41.6 | We have spent so much time on this show throughout the season. |
| 3:44.7 | I'm talking about Shohei Otani and the MVP odds. |
| 3:48.8 | Do you think things like these are going to swing the pendulum back? |
| 3:53.4 | You know, we had judge and then we ought to come in like a fury. |
| 3:57.7 | Take over the lead. I'm actually going to go look. I haven't seen what the odds are. |
