| 0:13.4 | and use that promo code leading off when you do it's me Joey P Joe piece of P back from the weekend. That of course is the Welsh. |
| 0:19.9 | The hair only gets better. It seems like as the days go by for the Welsh and Welsh. We're closing in on 14,000 subs, which means |
| 0:28.9 | the mustaches are going to have to start to get ready. I see you're growing the beard out a little bit to go ahead. No, go ahead. No, go ahead. I'm just going to say the wife made the comment today as I did the hair and she looked over. She's like, you got a shave. And I I wanted to tell her to be like, kind of trying to hold out because if we get to 14k, I'm trying to build this out so we can get a glorious, wonderful mustache. But this may be gone tomorrow. I don't know how close we are. I don't know where 13.8. So if you haven't subscribed already. |
| 0:56.1 | You can see pros MLB. Please subscribe because that's that makes us happy when you do. But we are very, very close right now. So here's a thing. We don't have to do it the next day. You know, like I'm not everybody can grow a mustache the next day like I can start the growing process. Right. Well, we'll set a date. So everybody can be there for the show and we'll tell everybody what that's right. Well, right. Exactly. That's exactly what we'll call it. Of course that won't offend anybody. And I think that's what we'll do. We'll set a date. We'll make it a big thing. And that way everybody has time. |
| 1:26.1 | To grow, set appropriate moustaches that they like that they want to display here on the program and look at peanuts in the cracker jacks. You can, you know, jump in there as well. We're also great idea, make a mustache room in the discord that you guys can get if you sign up on fan. That's why you sign up for fantasy pros. So you guys can get in on the mustache room and we can share pictures of our moustaches. Yeah, BT says that Joe shaved 30 minutes ago and that may or may not be true. Just saying, all right. Let's get to the action from MLB for the weekend. |
| 1:56.1 | And let's start with Nolan. Joe is my dude. He was in our waiver wire video here a couple weeks ago in the program before he got called up even said, go out and pick this guy up. He had a 472 walk up home or yesterday. |
| 2:08.7 | Not too shabby. Rocky's get a victory there. Nolan. Joe's got some power. Another home run over the weekend as well. I had added him in my league before I did the waiver wire video, which is why I said, let's add this guy now. Let's be proactive. Great job by him. |
| 2:23.2 | Ellie Delacruz, two for four, excuse me, two for three with an RBI. He had two walks and a steal on Sunday. So he continues to look good. These are two young players here. |
| 2:33.2 | Let's talk about Delacruz and let's talk about Nolan Jones. Yeah, let's start with actually Nolan Jones. Like Nolan Jones is fun back when he was with the guardians. Really good OBP player. I still say he's just a better OBP player. |
| 2:46.1 | The problem is it's like that 360 average is not sustainable for him. He's always hit the ball really hard there. I mean, that was the excitement when he went to Colorado. I was like, holy crap, it's like 30 plus home run potential. If he starts to work out, things are working out right now. |
| 3:00.1 | Don't love 31% strikeout rate. I don't think he's going to hit for high average. I think this is like a 250 guy, but he's going right now. So as always, we can pick apart the things. Do I believe in Nolan Jones all year? I personally kind of don't, but write it out. |
| 3:15.1 | Write it out right now, because he's playing well. But I mean, that's why the man in the last two weeks has been he's been on fire. McMahon the last two weeks. If you look at this, that's unbelievable. So the Rockies pulling themselves out of the tailspin of what the season's been. |
| 3:30.1 | They were going to be a little bit better at some point. They've been bad, but Nolan Jones, like you said, you know, you look at the PCL numbers and they're always going to be inflated because it's PCL, but at the same time. |
| 3:39.1 | He's playing in Colorado half as games. So you can live with the inflation of PCL numbers, the guy who plays for the Rockies. I always say that. |
| 3:46.1 | Yeah, I'm corner outfield like, you know, pro farce making it work right now. So Nolan Jones can make it work. There's some offensive thing there. |
| 3:53.1 | So LA Day La Cruz, Ellie is everything that we hyped him up to be a little nervous last week with all the like, hey, you know, he's a top this shortstop. And you guys were going to like freak out and get all up. |
| 4:06.1 | You know, up in arms and everything. But so far, I think it's lived up to all expectations and more. But they'll tell you I like the way you may or may not bring up LA Day La Cruz in this week's trade video that's going to be dropping tomorrow. |
| 4:22.1 | Only because of this. I only want to throw this out. Almost 40% strikeout rate. |
| 4:29.1 | And is his value any higher right now? And here's the other thing. He and redraft just to be sure that dynasty. We're not having this conversation with Ellie, but my only thing. |
| 4:40.1 | I just want to say that because you know the lunatics out there. They're going to know why she's doing what he's doing. I understand he told me to pick up this guy. |
| 4:47.1 | I still believe that he can be upward. He said it's exactly how they're like. |
