And it's like she just didn't 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.360 do it, Like she didn't want to do the whole project. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.440 She bailed on me. What did you do instead? Man? 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.160 She was like, I don't know, online looking up shopping 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:55.240 places to go for our wedding. Nice, and she's more important, 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.960 I guess. Yeah, So she was looking at that stuff 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.760 and that's nice, purple hair. It's a little bit more 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.680 important to me. Him going to Fiji laying, he was 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:09.800 pretty pumped about. Then, what famous golfer is from Fiji? 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.960 He's American? Yeah, he's I don't know. I don't know. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.040 I don't know answers Louis US days, No LOUISUS days 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:23.000 in South Africa. He's not a golf like the only 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.480 two that I know. He's not a golf from today. 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.760 He's a golfer from like to the Tigers, heyday. I'd 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:32.840 say the Tigers big rivals for a little while. No clue, Alex, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.400 do you know, I don't know that'd be a hard 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.359 nor now, Okay, does anybody know down there? My answer, 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.960 you think John Daly is from from Fiji? Bryan, you 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.280 think John Phil Nicholson's from Fiji. It is a name 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.720 that I know. Jesus Christ, we're going to amateurs here now. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:56.000 The name that we're looking for is VJ. Singh J 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.359 from Fiji. Wow, good old VJ. That's rare. Is there's 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.440 not that many people who feed you. I don't think 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.200 true story. I've been to feed you. Yeah, nice place 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.880 which there's a lot of islands. I don't know. Greg 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.399 has been all around the world. I tried the Adventures 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.960 of Greg Sessmen. Yeah. No, that's a good place to go. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.320 That's why I was picking you that old galopicos never 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:20.320 been there. Yea South American island. It's the coast of Peru. Yeah. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.440 One of those things are looking up for you. When 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.799 when are you going? Next year? Next year? So we're 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.760 trying to get a good price, makes sense. I was. 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.440 I screwed this up being of flights, looking at flights 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.880 for my bachelor party in Fort Lauderdale. They've all gone up. 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.120 This is a disaster. I thought cheap, there's raining for 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:39.640 them to go down, and instead of going down, they 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.800 went up. Uh, that's not working out well for you. Sorry, 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.800 it's very bad. That's it. You gotta try earlier. So 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.240 I was earlier. It was fine, So it was really mad. 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.000 The week before I made a decision place where that's great, perfect, 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.400 very happy round trip. Yeah, two hucks round trip, it's perfect. 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.440 A week later, they're up to forty four. I'm like, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.120 this is a joke. Well you've been to do it 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:04.640 now before they go up again. So then I waited 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.760 and they were on to sixty six and like, this 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.280 is stupid. Now the flights are empty because I'm literally 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:11.920 looking at the seats on the flights that I want 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.960 and they're empty. Empty, keep going trolling, you keep going up. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.320 Now they're up to two eight, and what is happening? 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.520 I'm pissed. Now you might as well wait longer? Could 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.440 you go back down? That's what I'm I don't know. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.880 I can't wait till it's three bills and then it's 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:31.800 gonna sit here. What's happening? Three hundred Dollarsdale saved a 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:38.040 couple of hundred because you're talking about two tickets. That's true. Yeah, 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:44.479 it's oh, you're gonna buy party, Okay. I didn't hear 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.400 the bachelor party. Yeah, all right's baseball. How'd your How 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.479 was your baseball weekend? Good? Yeah? Good? You know my 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:54.240 boy went off ja yeah next week right when I 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:58.360 drop getting hot, get drop Josh Bill. Yeah, he was 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.520 getting intense to pick up till in pit league. Yeah, 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:06.360 someone pick him up, it goes, I'm looking at the 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:09.279 wrong league. I don't know. Well, I think that I 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:12.240 think of Dandy, and I think of Dandy Andy. That's 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.400 a good pick up. We should talk about Yandy d 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.240 as a lot of people excited about him. A few 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.960 people were asking us about Yandy DZ and the chapel 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:27.640 and just look at Josh Yeah, big timer. I was 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.839 listening and watching this who actually had to uh and 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.440 him a little SmackDown last week? Actually second place team 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:36.680 right here, it looks like I do know how to 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:41.160 play in category leagues. After first, I mean, I'm in second. 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.560 But regarding Yandy ds Greg, one of the first things 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.680 that I told you today when I came in was 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.000 Yandy's lifting the ball more. And that's exactly what we 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.480 needed to see. Guy who always had a lot of power. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.120 He's built like a football player. He's jack out of 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.320 his mind you see some of his off season workout 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.680 stuff like the guy's huge look. He's like he's Sespedous 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.560 esque and in terms of how big is and you know, 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.400 coming into the year, he has a twenty two percent 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.719 fly ball rate this year, small sample size again, thirty 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.440 eight late appearances, but a thirty three percent fly ball rate, 0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.080 so one third of the time that he's making contact, 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.240 he's putting it in the air, and he's hitting the 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:18.640 ball extremely hard to start the year. So you're seeing 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.560 that reflected in his stats. Every three batting average seems 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.640 again its pretty good plays discipline too, greg because he's 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.520 walking thirteen percent at a time, making a ton of contact, 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.880 he's striking out only eight percent at a time. He's 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.840 hitting three hundred and against leftist he's leading off, and 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.640 against right he's still in the middle of the lineup. 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:39.880 So what's not to like about Yandy Diaz? And I 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.360 don't know if I would have dropped Josh Bell for him, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.000 because I see the appeal with Bell, and you know, 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.719 he's been hot already to start the year, and mind you, 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.320 that's in Pittsburgh all the weather. You know, the weather 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.280 has warmed up a little bit. But for the most part, 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.800 it's still been I don't know if it would have 0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.600 done that. I would like to add Yandy Diaz. I 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.159 don't know if it would have dropped Josh Bell, but 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.400 if he's out there, even in your twelve team leagues, 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.560 I I would try and get your dash and I 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:04.760 made a call and I did it. Ye both. I 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.800 thought could potentially be really good this year, so it 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.320 might not be a bad move for you. Right personally 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.280 made it, But I would like to try and add 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.800 y d As if I can. Yeah, definitely. The only 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.440 thing I see issue with Yandy in ESPN leagues he's 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.360 a d H only, which is kind of annoying. Really, Yeah, 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:25.520 that should change, right, It's interesting if he gets ten 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.520 games in the outfield, his eligibility should change. Yeah, you 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:31.080 think that's Let's see on the year, he has three 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.720 games at first base and he's already got six at third, 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:41.679 So in my league it's only only five games, So okay, 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.560 he has third, and it looks like he should he's 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.680 very quickly. You're gonna get first base eligibility as well 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.400 because he gains left handed pitching and I'm gonna play 0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.320 g Manchoi and they play Yandy Das. While we're on 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.160 the topic of conversation of the Rays. Remember I kept 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.160 telling you guys before the season, Nate low remember the 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.120 name Nathaniel Lowe. If he's available in your lead, this 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:04.480 is a deeper play and al only brand. Maybe you're right, 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.280 but he had his second home run ready, and I 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.880 have a feeling that the Rays didn't have him break 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:11.800 camp just because they want to get the extra service 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.400 time out of him, and they could have. You know, 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.440 it's easier for them to sell that because you know 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.760 they like g Man choice. But it's like, I don't 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.560 know how long Man Choi is gonna last. You know, 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:24.280 the starting first baseman gets right handed pitching. But this guy, 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.520 Nate low last yeas year for the race in the 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.480 minor leagues between Double A and Triple A and High A. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.920 He so he progressed from High eight to Triple A 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.400 in one minor league season. It's twenty seven home runs 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.160 with a hundred and two art guys, three thirty batting 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.360 average p s. He's already off to a good start. 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:43.079 I think it won't be long before Nate Low is 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.040 in the major leagues for the Tampa Bay Race. Years old, 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.040 You're gonna have a sick lineup man, Tommy Fan, Yandy Diaz, 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:56.160 Austin's Nate Low Ran Low they got, they got a 0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:58.600 little sneaky line up man. I like Tampa Bay, remember 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.520 the name. I'm just telling you that I'm in on 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.040 Yandy for sure, though Yandy is definitely a good one. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.440 Did you make any bids over the weekend venture? Um? Up? 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.719 Would I pick up? I picked up Frankie Mantas a lot, 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.959 of course, even with the astro start, the astro start 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.559 I watched actually uh and he was good. It was 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.800 just that that line up is good. Uh. Al TV scored. 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.600 They scored the first round. Often when al TV check 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:24.120 swinged and hit the infield single was short in the hole, like, 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.240 come on, it wasn't a good hit. And then you 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.080 know Bregman had a nice hit and then he gave 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:29.880 up another run. He wasn't that bad. He got into 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.560 trouble and got out of it. Um. He still had 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.240 a strikeout for any against the five strikeouts in five innings, 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.000 and he had six strikeouts in six innings in his 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.160 first start. Yeah, a strikeout for penning from on top 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.720 right and the second start, honestly, impressed me more because 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.960 of the lineup and because of the tough situations, even 0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.880 in basic loaded situations. I also picked up Christian Walker 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.720 in one place, Clint Frasier for for a daily league. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.559 For the meantime. Who you've been dropping anyone of note? 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.920 Um lords, Gorrielle, I think it's fair. Yeah, he's one 0:09:59.920 --> 0:10:02.400 of the most dropped players in CBS. Makes sense, Yeah, 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.480 I'm dropping him. Um, I had Tyler White. I didn't 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:08.440 really want him, but I had him for a while, 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.520 and now I dropped him. Okay, okay with that too, 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:14.360 in the right situation. Yeah, yours nobody else really? Oh, 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.520 Luke Weaver, I dropped That's who I dropped to pick 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.319 up Frankie Montas in one league. I'm dropping Weaving and 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.280 I'm dropping Strong, dropping Weaver and Strong. So I'm glad 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.199 you bring up Weaver and Stroup. Strong one of the 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.080 most dropped players as well, So I think it's fair. 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:27.760 I think it's fair to bring him up. So we 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.520 were will start there because the first one you mentioned 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.960 two starts, two dots of great stars. His last one 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.800 a little bit better. Three runs, five hits over five 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.320 innings against the Red Sox and a tough matchup this 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.040 week home against San Diego, who you know better than 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:43.839 the used to be not a bad matchup, but I 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.400 don't think at home with the even do it right? No, 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.080 it's just a man. Yeah, I agree that. I agree. 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.200 Shrug at three in his first down and struck out 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:57.040 four in his second. Okay, okay, dropping And it's only 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.800 two starts, which is a very small sample size. Seven 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.280 were kay to walk ratio? Like how many weeks I 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.920 would like to hold onto him? The skills don't look 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.120 good as of right now. That's what is really small. 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:11.920 But seven percent swinging strike rate, first pitch strike percentage 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.040 percent chase rate, so people aren't chasing his pitches, which 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:18.280 is leading to the walks. As you mentioned, Greg, he 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.040 only has seven strike as he has four walks in 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.839 nine and a third endings pitched. Would you say you 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:27.360 dropped him for one league mantas, Yeah, I would have. 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.440 I would have made that move to I also picked 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.400 up that I had him in a lot of leagues 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.800 because I want to believe that we was, you know, 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.559 the prospect. We thought he was right, but it doesn't look. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.160 One thing that really bothers me about him is that 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.679 he's not going deep into games either, and I need 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.640 I like to have guys that could at least, you know, 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.800 pitching five six cent you get me quality start um. 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:52.839 And I also picked up a turn bull your boy 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.720 against the Indians, though well, I mean, I'm picking I 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:02.120 don't know if I'm plugging him in right away, but 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:05.560 if you're picking him up, you gotta plug him unless 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.080 you have like five superstar pitchers. Because against the any 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:11.679 it just doesn't get better than that. Why they're playing 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.400 right now again, they lead baseball in strikeouts right now, 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.080 and that's a turnable coming off a start. We had 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.800 ten strikeouts against the Royals, a team that typically makes 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.040 a lot of contact. So I think that there's a 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:23.719 lot to like. They're just getting back to Luke Weaver. 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.840 I'm looking into him a little bit more. Greg. Remember 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.000 the reason why we liked him was because we read 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.360 an article on the Athletic that's saying that he was 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.880 working on a curveball. About this, he's storing his curveball 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:35.680 less is here than he was last year eight percent 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.319 of the time and last year was twelve percent of 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.880 the time. I don't love that. And the command hasn't 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.360 been good. Yeah, Like I'm al right dropping for these 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.400 guys that we're talking about, Turnbull, even Zimmerman on a 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.520 two start week. You know, if people seem to be 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.200 split on Zimmerman, I think a lot of people have 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.199 been burned by him, so they don't really want to 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.960 buy back in the Jordan Zimmerman. And I can't knock 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:55.920 you like if that's the reason. If you've been burned 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.520 by Jordan Zimmerman and you just don't want to pick 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.800 him up, I'm fine with that. Me personally, I haven't 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.439 been burned by him, so I actually do like him 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.680 for this two start a week again against the Indians 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:08.600 and against the Minnesota Twins. Don't love the Twins start. 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.440 But he is doing things differently with his arsenal. He's 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.640 throwing his breaking pitches more. He's throwing his fastball less. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.280 It's additioned by subtraction. It's fastball has been one of 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.120 the worst pitches in baseball over the past couple of years. 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.080 So I like I like those like those Tigers guys 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.880 over over Weaver, I would I would make that well. 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.240 The only thing with me is with demand is that 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.320 uh and I discussed this with Steve the other day. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.040 Also I was like, I think, like he's had two 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:39.360 or three years now where he's been pretty much bad, terrible, terrible. 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:41.600 I wrote about this on my Patreon over the past. 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.040 Since he during the Tigers, he has the second highest 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.880 era A among all starting pitchers, behind only James Shields 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.800 is the A over five. So he's not been good exactly, 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.640 and then I can't defend that. And we're not talking 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.160 one year, we're talking a few years now. Uh, he's 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.200 not the same guy he was. I don't think there's 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.080 a resurgent season coming back for him this year just 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.800 because he had two good sults so far. That's my thing. 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.559 I'm not buying into it yet. And I think it's 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.360 okay that I don't pick him up because I feel 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:08.960 like if someone does pick him up, pick him up 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:10.840 with the two stocks and then drop him so I 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.920 could always get him again if I decide I want 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:15.680 him later on. I'm just not sold on him yet. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.400 I'm not sold on on him being this good yet. 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.840 That's fair, that's fair. And he's gone through stretches in 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:22.520 the past few years where he looks like he's good 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.840 and then he just smucks down again. So I think 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.720 as long as he's throwing that fastball last and throwing 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.640 a slider and curveball. More and more apt to buy 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:31.840 in on Jordan's immiman. I'm not saying he's gonna be great, 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.840 but I just really like streaming against Cleveland Indians right now. Greg, 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:38.600 someone who does have a tough matchup this week. Is 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.000 there something else you wanted to get into it, Weaver? 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.720 I want to hit strang because you meant you mentioned 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.880 strong ventro and you bound that first down in two 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.480 and two thirds he was. He was horrible last and 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.880 against Cardinals five innings, two rounds, only one of them 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.040 were earned. It was basically all unun for his fault anyway, 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.520 but only with five in he only struck out two guys. 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:02.920 And A's why people are jumping off board, Frank, how 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.120 come strikeouts are down right now? From Matt stram I 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.520 how people were excited? It's the velocity. You look at 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.280 the velocity right now, and in years past, I know 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.200 he was used more as a reliever, and you know, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:16.200 maybe your velocity takes down a little bit when you 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.680 get put back in the rotation. But the past couple 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.520 of years he's been around fastball. Greg. This year is 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.000 fastball sitting at ninety one point three miles per hour 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.240 on average, so the VLO is down. The slider vlo 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.800 is also down last year's eighties seven miles per hour. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.560 This year it's down to eighty four. Again. This might 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.040 be because he's back in the rotation, so can he 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:36.880 can he amp it up? Kenny throw as hard as 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.320 he wants to, When normally in a relief appearance you 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:40.920 can kind of go all out because you're only going 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.600 one or two innings. He probably just can't get the 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:46.480 velo that high if he wants to sustain going five 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.160 or six innings pitched. So I think that's why you're seeing, 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.520 uh the lack of strikeouts here from Matt Trump And 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:54.960 so that coupled with the fact that he's not really 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:57.760 going deep into games either right so far, and I 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:59.440 think that's gonna be a problem most season for him 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.080 because he is coming from the bullpen. So I'm not 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.800 trusting that this is the back end of my rotation 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:07.640 fantasy type of guy. So I'm okay with dropping him 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.000 and picking up a guy like Frankie Mantas or these 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.440 other guys. Talk about Spencer Turnbull, I wouldn't I would 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.360 have done that as well. I don't want to completely 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:19.160 give up. I don't want to team leagues like maybe 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.720 I would try and hold on again. I like Mantas, 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.680 I like Turnbull, so I probably would have done it 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.400 for those guys, but anyone else that's just like a 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:31.200 fringe e like I'm not don't hold on to Strom 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.320 for now? Would you drop drop Strom for Nick marka Vicious? 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.120 Not even kidding? No, I wouldn't. Okay, Yeah, I think 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.960 Stram has higher upside and and Strong and Weaver. They 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.560 actually face each other this week, so how about that? 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:47.680 Yeah that's funny. You guys were all Arizona against Luke. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.600 What have I told you that Nick marka Vicious? Mrs No, 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.800 he misses St. Louis and he places in San Francisco, 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:59.240 which is great. You really just need to start or 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.320 I'm not thinking. I'm just I'm just asking. It's just 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.880 like stashing for upside, I'm planning in San Francisco. I 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.200 still think that Strong has more upside than market Vicious. 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.159 You just need to start this week then, yeah, I 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:15.679 would rather stream against the Giants and at Arizona the Vicious, right. 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.440 I want to I want to ask you about Jack 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.000 Flowery when we come back faces the Dodgers. Yeah, let's 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.359 do it. What's up at Jack Flowerday? Moore On the 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:28.600 other side, nick a Vicious.

I'd be more piste off that instead of 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:07.240 letting guy take that last second debtordid and shot, you 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:10.560 chose to foul him and give them a nonshooting faublic. 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.439 Give Virginia the ball out of mounds and have an 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.560 opportunity to get it to him in the corner for 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.840 to shoot that three to begin with. If you just 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.479 wouldn't let him take that shot and not found him, 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.280 they wouldn't have had a champ to inbound it to 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:24.960 him in the corner week days six and nine am 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.840 Eastern on the Fantasy Sports networking on your popular podcast. 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:31.440 Providers joined the experts live on the air every day 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:35.040 by calling in at April four, seven nine to join 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:56.680 the Fantasy Sports Network.

No, 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:09.560 I did not. How was it? I know coffee coffee 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:14.480 coffee did his thing, he got the belt just kofef Mania. 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:21.040 It's kofee coffee. I don't know, coffee coffee, kofe Mania. 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:26.080 Finally it's the strap greggyment moment to night match. The 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.640 night it was it was beautiful. What a terrible ending too. 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.600 It's like so much potential with the women's match and 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.479 ends on a box. I don't That wasn't supposed to happen, right, 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.919 It was not the box. Obviously it was supposed to 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.439 end that pin was supposed to end. There was what 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:46.560 was the box. It's so basically Rhonda Rousy had Becky 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:50.119 on her shoulders for a move and Becky reversed it 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:54.119 to like a pinning combination hitting Rhonda rousing. So that 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:56.520 was supposed to be the end of the match one, 0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.760 two three, and it was the problem was when the 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.159 red kind of one, Rhonda shoulders were just she was 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:05.400 basically sitting up, so her shoulders, shoulders weren't on the match. 0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.040
