<v Speaker 1>some fun later tonight. So I wanted to actually start

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>off with what just happened for a Now you don't

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>actually care, but it's worth mentioning the Federal night. Do

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you watched Tenny Tennis? You're a tennis guy? What he means?

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>I played tennis in high school. I don't watch or

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 1>follow it at all. I really like the video game

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Mario Tennis, all right. So it was Roger Federer versus

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>his arch rival, longtime rival rival, Raphael and Nadal in

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the semifinals. You know who they are. Yes, I've heard

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of those names, all right. So it was another classic

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.079
<v Speaker 1>between They won four sets, with Roger Federer taking this

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>one home. So it will be once again in the

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Wimbledon final on today's Friday. On Sunday, it will be

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Novak Djokovic versus Roger Federer once again in the finals. WHOA,

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.959
<v Speaker 1>well you got, Greg? You're gonna do that? What you

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 1>don't have to do that? What do you got? So

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>my point was, isn't one of them really good on

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the both that's the dollars. He's really good on clay,

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.639
<v Speaker 1>but this is on grass, It's Wimbledon, Okay, So does

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that favor either one of these? The dollars? Not in that.

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not in this, No, I understand. I mean between

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>who's playing? Actually Djokovic better at this point their careers,

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Joker is probably better player. Joker is minus two fifty?

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Would you just call him the Joker? The joker it's

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>a nickname? Or no, that joke? Yeah, there's only one

0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:35.040
<v Speaker 1>of those, Greg, Nicola Yokich, What are you doing? Now?

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing? Djokovic was a joker long before Nikolo.

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>No no, no no, no, no no no, no, there can only

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>be one. Probably should be called the Yoker because that's

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>he pronounced his name. There can only be one joker.

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.080
<v Speaker 1>So there's a joker in a yoker. Actually it's Heath Ledger.

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 1>If we're being honest, technically it's it's it's not because

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 1>there was a joker before Heath Ledger. Jim had the

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>rid level. There's a joker before Jack Nicholson. Yeah, and

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>he was awesome at it. But I mean, come on,

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Heath Ledger as a joker, come on, he's great. Isn't

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>another one coming out? No? No, no, no, it's a

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 1>guy who played in um Gladiator, the bad guy Wakin Phoenix. Yes,

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>that's who it is. Yeah, yeah, I can see why

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.440
<v Speaker 1>you would. I think he's gonna do a phenomenal job.

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Have you seen any of the trailers? Actually, yeah, weird dude.

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>He's like, really weird dude. But that's kind of the

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>dude you need to play as absolutely anyway, speaking of joker,

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how we went all the way from

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Novak Djokovic to Heath Ledger ker, but but I will.

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.840
<v Speaker 1>My original point is, uh, there can only be one

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>in Nikola Yokich is the joker absolutely Wimbledon Finals via

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>five times no Vak Djokovic's minus two fifteen, Roger Federer's

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>plus one seventy. Who do you got? Joker? The joker

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>and they laying the money there. I like feder I'm

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a Federer guy. Admittedly, Djokovic at this point in his

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>career just seems like a better player for me. I agree, Greg,

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>thanks man. I don't know, Like, yeah, admittedly I don't

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>watch a lot of tennis, so I like why Jean Tennis,

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Like when it comes to golf and tennis, I watched

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 1>the Majors. I'm sure I'll bet on the British Open

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>with my friends next week. We always like draft players

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 1>and I love it. Is this stuff that you just

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>get into once you turn thirty. Now, Like am I

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna get into this stuff once I turned thirty? No?

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Do it now? You won't be into it. Like I

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>used to watch golf, um ever, so the Masters always

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 1>around Passover and I was always in Florida with my

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>grandparents or Passover, so we'd always watched like the Masters

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>together and because of that, I kind of grew a

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 1>love for golf. And then tennis is like, I don't know,

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 1>it's one of the best athletes in no more like

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Serena Williams and you know, I saw you sort of.

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>She's thirty seven years old the best. She's still amazing.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>She's thirty seven years old, Greg, Remember, and she's still

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>killing it in tennis. I feel like once you get

0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to thirty seven, you probably shouldn't be as good as

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>you once were in tennis. Tennis is something that requires

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>a ton of stamina. That's how much that's how much

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>better she is than everybody else. Yeah, that is crazy.

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not off base in saying that tennis and golf

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>are probably two of the more fluent sports rights. I

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know, they're they're like country club

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>ish kind of thing. I totally I totally get why

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>you're saying that's why you like it. Probably not, probably

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>not the discussions I heard this morning. Greg is rich.

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Greg is rich. Definitely not rich richer than me, probably,

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I mean, you live in the city, Greg,

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>do you live in the city. I live in a

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>basement in Queens. But I'm I'm much more broke than

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>New York because of it. That that's true. You aren't

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>digging your own grave. You bought your lunch, You were

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>able to buy lunch. I'm not happy about that either

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 1>if you're watching or listening. King, I'm not happy about this.

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>She's not watching or listening. I'd bring my lunch and

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 1>we were. We couldn't even afford more regular well true story.

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Last night I had dodgeball, Greg. We won shout out

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to Balls of Teal that's a team name. But by

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the time we got home, we went to the bar

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>afterwards to hang out with all of our dodgeball compadres.

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I got home at one am. We can't make salads

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>at one am when you're like half drunk. I can

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you take it? This morning? I don't wake up nearly

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.359
<v Speaker 1>early enough to do that, Greg, I wake up with

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>about twenty minutes to spare. I brushed my teeth, normally

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 1>do my hair. I didn't feel like doing my hair

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to it. That's why I'm wearing a hat. And that's

0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>how we got here. Yeah, it's funny. I got out

0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>of shower. I told you my mom staying with me

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>this week, And how's that going? Fine? All right? I mean,

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>so I got it. Looks it looks you got a shower.

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>My mom was like, why why are you hanging out?

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>You gotta go, Like my I have plenty of time like,

0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine. I just like my mother's mothering name ten

0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>years old, plenty one years old and my I'm old

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>apartment how old? Now, I thought, all right, I want

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>to take a break. I went into baseball. No, no no, no,

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.119

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the balance of power in the Western Conference Let's Against

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 1>shifted a bit yesterday, and I feel like I mentioned

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>at some point over the past couple of weeks that

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the Rockets have been eerily quiet. But you knew that

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Daryl Morey has the itch that he can't not do

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>way anything, and yet very sad. And I believe Frank,

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>you're the one who's like, listen, what can he do?

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>There's not all that much for them to do. Until

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>he did, Chris Paul traded over to Oklahoma City in exchange.

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 1>We're also Westbrook Houston also giving up a whole bunch

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.959
<v Speaker 1>of draft picks since the beginning. Since the NBA Draft,

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>the Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired eight new draft picks,

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 1>including first eight first round draft picks, including five from

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles, two from Houston, UH one from Denver. And

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't include the four pick swaps in the first

0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>round that they have at their disposal as well. They

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>did give up two superstars. But listening, if you're gonna

0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>rebuild and you have to rebuild, this is all that

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>you could do. This will not be the first time

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>Chris Paul is playing in Oklahoma City, as if you remember,

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the Hornets split time in Oklahoma City for a season

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>when he played for them. Now, Mayor David Holt, thing's

0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>not going well for him, as he tweeted out um

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>on June thirty. Frank, he tweeted this out. He is

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>the mayor of Oklahoma City, if you asked me, a

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>quiet free agency is a blessing when you got an

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 1>m v P and an MBV finalist on your roster,

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>presuming better healthy second full year to home, the dynamic,

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the return of roverson plus renewed league parody, a Leger

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.120
<v Speaker 1>squad just fine, hashtag good to be a Thunder not

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>so good anymore. I don't think that they're gonna be terrible,

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>but obviously losing a former m v P and an

0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>MVP candidate in Paul George and Russell Westbrook, it's going

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to have your effect. But you know this, this reminds

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>me a lot of what the Boston Celtics and Danny

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Ainge did when they um ultimately traded away Kevin Garnett.

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know that that all those trades that he made.

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, it seems like we're still getting first round

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>picks now that the Boston Celtics were, you know, got

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>from that trade. It seems like almost a decade ago.

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>So shades of Danny Angel in the Celtics heater with

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 1>what Sam Presty and the oklahom A City Thunder are

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>putting together eight first round picks they have acquired from

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>now until and Greg mentioned it with the right to

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>uh swap first round picks with those teams as well.

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>And you know, by the time rolls around, Greg Houston Rockets,

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, who knows what their team is gonna look like.

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Same thing for the Clippers, right in what is that

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.680
<v Speaker 1>team gonna look like? No one knows. I mean, Kawhi

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Leonard has an opt out in two years from now,

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think that you know it's gonna be an

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 1>accelerated rebuild process. Here for the Oklahoma City Thunder, they

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 1>still have Chris Paul under contract, they still have Danilo Gallinari,

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 1>they got Shay Gil just Alexander and the Paul George trade.

0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>So you have your point guard of the future. And

0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.560
<v Speaker 1>if there's anyone that you want them to learn from

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 1>on how to be a pro and how to be

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.839
<v Speaker 1>a professional point guard, it's Chris Paul. So it'll be

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.200
<v Speaker 1>interesting to see. Now they can't trade Chris Paul right

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>away now right, Greg? Isn't how it works in the

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>NBA is once you acquire someone, you have to wait

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>a certain time period before you only when you sign

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>them signed. Okay, so they can flip Chris Paul. I

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be surprised if they do, so, I don't. Again,

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>we question originally Chris Paul. We didn't know what the

0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>market would be, and I still because Chris Paul would

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.079
<v Speaker 1>be It's it's a massive contract from what from here

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>on out? I think it's three years and it's like

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>over a hundred million if he opts into that year,

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>which he obviously will from what I read, they acquired

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.959
<v Speaker 1>Chris Paul with the expectation that he will play for them,

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and I think their win total is at forty and

0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 1>so so that's exactly what I was pulling up. Now, Um,

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the NBA? Where was OK? The NBA, they'll still be

0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>slightly competitive because Chris Paul, Gallinari, Steven Adams, Shay Gil

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 1>just Alexander. Nine and a half is their win total.

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It's not like they have nobody on their team. Greg.

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>They still have some really good players. I'm really interested in.

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>You'll just Alexander even though they acquired Why is that though,

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>christ the usage going to be tough for him to injurious? Yeah,

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 1>guess you're right, but but really you're gonna draft Shakil's

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Alexander for fantasy purposes, hoping that Chris Paul gets hurt,

0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.839
<v Speaker 1>knowing that Chris Paul will get hurt. Yes, and is

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.359
<v Speaker 1>just leave about this for a second, Frankie, this quartet

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 1>of Lebron and his friends. Look at where they've ended up. Right, Lebron,

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.559
<v Speaker 1>best player in the NBA, still playing in l A

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 1>with the Lakers, the bright lights, everything you could ask for. Carrella,

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Anthony forced out of the NBA, forced out of New York,

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>lay in Oklahoma City, actually went to Houston. Does he

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:33.320
<v Speaker 1>ever play another game in the NBA's Ober Dwayne Wade

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.719
<v Speaker 1>left Miami for his home in Chicago, went and was

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a bench player for Lebron Cleveland as a

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>nice want song Miami. He's done. Chris Paul forces his

0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 1>way to l A forces his way. I guess there's

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>a free agent really, a Sun and trade to Houston

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>blows up with James Harden and now he's basically playing

0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>in Oklahoma to end his career. Crazy how quickly it

0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:05.079
<v Speaker 1>all goes by, Yeah, it does. Look there's a changing

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 1>of the guard in the NBA right now. This isn't

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James NBA anymore. I know that he is the

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>second favorite in the NBA to win the finals. Right now.

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>But if I were an odds maker, I probably wouldn't

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 1>have the Lakers as the second favorite to win the

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 1>NBA Finals. And you know, there's a there's a ton

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>of you know, budding superstars that are that are up

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>and coming. Here Greg with with Jana Santa Koumpo and

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>uh Kawai Leonard. Obviously, I think those are the big

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>names in the NBA. And and now obviously you're gonna

0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>have the Zion Williamson's of the world as well r J. Barrett.

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.280
<v Speaker 1>So UH, times are changing here in the NBA, So

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the odds haven't been adjusted just a little bit over

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>on the Vanduel Sports book. I talked about the Rockets before,

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and I thought they were actually very very good value.

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>They're now the fourth most likely team UH to win

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the NBA Championship their plus eight hundred right now to

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>win with Russell Westbrook and James Harden. I saw all

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.880
<v Speaker 1>the jokes about is this is there was only one ball?

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.120
<v Speaker 1>How is anybody else on this Rockets team go to

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>touch the ball? When I saw a really good um,

0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's a gift or a meme

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>or whatever of when Russell Westbriga, James Harden, or want

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 1>us to a wave a triple double? And it's that

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>meme of it was Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, whether

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 1>they're both on the Clippers passing it back and forth

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to each other. And that's what it's gonna be with

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Russell Westbriga James Harden, neither of whom are really known

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>for their defense. I'd say, I don't know how this

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.000
<v Speaker 1>is gonna work out, Greg. I mean, two of the

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>top ten highest usage rates in the NBA. James Harden

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>led the NBA and usage rate last year at thirty

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 1>nine point six percent. The next closest was Joel Embiad

0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 1>at thirty two point seven percent. James Harden had a

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:47.640
<v Speaker 1>seven percent higher usage rate than the second highest usage rate.

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Just think about that. If you combine James Harden and

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Russell Westbrook's usage rates from last season, that is seventy

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 1>nine point seven percent usage Rake, Greg, they both ranked

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>inside the top ten. It's gonna be really interesting to

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>see how this works out. I know that they played

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>together in the past. That was a long time ago.

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 1>That's when you know Russell Westbrook was still young in

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>his career. He wasn't the triple double machine that he

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>is today. Back then, James Harden was the sixth man

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 1>for that Oklahoma City Thunder team and a lot of

0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the times they would stagger those minutes. So it's gonna

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 1>be really interesting to see how this works out for

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the Houston Rockets as of now, my initial lean look,

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I think both players are obviously super talented. Russell Westbrook

0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>is like in the top three percent in the league

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>in terms of physicality. He is a physical freak what

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 1>he can do on the court, but his decision making

0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 1>is baffling to me at times. Greg. I mean, his

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.560
<v Speaker 1>his turnovers are very high and his shot selection is

0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>not very good. I don't think that Russell Westbrook is

0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 1>a winning basketball player. I have said that before and

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to stick by it, and I think you

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>can make a similar argument for James Harden. I don't

0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 1>know how it's gonna work out together as of now

0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:58.440
<v Speaker 1>today on July twelve, I don't think that they finished

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 1>in the top four in the Western Conference next year.

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't love how they could co exist either. Though.

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.600
<v Speaker 1>It's funny. I looked at this picture I have here

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 1>of Paul George and Russell Westbrook. It's lovely five right.

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I looked at it quickly. I thought it was James

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Harding and Russell Westbrook. Harden used to rock the third

0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>team for the Thunder. Of course, Russell Westbrook James Harden

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 1>now together in red in Houston, and will see how

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.400
<v Speaker 1>they come seeing the photoshop pictures already now, Westbrook look

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 1>looks weird and red man. Looking up on Twitter, you

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 1>could find a picture of Russell Westbrook. It's just you've

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 1>seen him for so long in that blue jersey, that

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 1>white and blue of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Not to

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 1>see him in red. It's just such a stark contrast.

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.880
<v Speaker 1>It's very weird. It's gonna it's gonna take some getting used.

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 1>It's weird. There's one for you right in the middle there.

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 1>That's weird. It's very weird. It's weird, is what it is.

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.400
<v Speaker 1>It'll take some getting used to for sure. Oh. Here's

0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I think the exact picture I was looking at almost

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.719
<v Speaker 1>with the shop. Yeah, that's that's the picture I saw yesterday.

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 1>It's actually a pretty cool picture. I'm man, people will

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.920
<v Speaker 1>be I've become so good at photoshop. I mean, I

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know how I don't know how you put a

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>different jersey on some and they haven't more. It's crazy,

0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.760

<v Speaker 1>do you want to do? I want to eat and

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 1>watch baseball. Yeah. He wants to sit in his patio,

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:33.240
<v Speaker 1>his his couch, his rich man condo patio, his penthouse.

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 1>He wants to read his book. He gets one of

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>those like long cigarette holder things in his mouth with

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.280
<v Speaker 1>his monocle and his cigarette in my life, and he

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:44.440
<v Speaker 1>reads his book and he drinks his shot and a

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 1>come on, Greg, a beersho come like you skipped your thirties.

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.639
<v Speaker 1>You went from twenty nine to forty in my thirty

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 1>from fifty in earty you went from twenty nine to sixty. Right,

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:01.600
<v Speaker 1>have a little fun, Greg? You want? Have you all right?

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 1>What's the breaking news? I'm very scared now. Actually it

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:09.879
<v Speaker 1>regards as someone that you like, Frank, It regards Darius. No,

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.479
<v Speaker 1>don't do this, don't I'm ready for this. On a Friday,

0:21:13.560 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Darius Guys will not be ready to rock when training

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:23.640
<v Speaker 1>camp begins. As Darius Guys now has a hamstring injury,

0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:26.440
<v Speaker 1>he is questionable for the story of training camp. This

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:28.800
<v Speaker 1>is entire rookie season based on a torn a c L,

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:32.159
<v Speaker 1>and I have to wonder if hurting his hamstring is

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 1>related to the fact that the A c L recovery

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 1>has not exactly smoothly. You know, sometimes, Greg, I think

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 1>that Virginia's Sakusen inside injuries have a crystal ball. She

0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:46.160
<v Speaker 1>legitimately called this yesterday. She said she wouldn't be surprised

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 1>if Darius Guys suffers some kind of compensatory injury coming

0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.119
<v Speaker 1>back from this A c L. And the fact that

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:59.439
<v Speaker 1>he dealt with the infection. God gosh, this sucks, man,

0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>And mean, I feel bad for the guy. You can't

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:07.399
<v Speaker 1>ask for a worst start to your NFL career, then

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.360
<v Speaker 1>getting a few carries in a preseason game, tearing your

0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 1>A c L, having to undergo multiple surgeries after the

0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>torn a c L to clean up an infection, You're

0:22:18.160 --> 0:22:21.480
<v Speaker 1>still not right now. You suffer a hamstring and going

0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 1>into your second season, you're not going to be ready

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:30.920
<v Speaker 1>heading into training camp because of this injury. It sucks, man,

0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 1>It sucks. Greg. I'll throw this your way. I'll ask

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you a little bit fantasy fantasy football question here you're

0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:40.199
<v Speaker 1>a fantasy expert. Hey, you trying to be in my

0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:43.040
<v Speaker 1>home league keeper league, same league as Michael Florio. Actually

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:45.719
<v Speaker 1>one of my keepers already, zach ERT's Round four, I'm

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:49.360
<v Speaker 1>keeping him. No issue there, super FLEs twelve teams have PPR.

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm keeping Zacher it's in the fourth round. The other

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 1>keeper that I was gonna submit was Darius Guys in

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the thirteenth round. Graham, Now, my other options are they're

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.880
<v Speaker 1>just not good value, but they're good players. For shod

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Penny in the seventh, Dante Pettison the sixth, Kirk Cousins

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 1>in the seventh. Super Flex. See he's shaking your head.

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.960
<v Speaker 1>None of those excite me. But how can you be

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 1>excited about Darius Guys? Now? I mean, I guess in

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:20.400
<v Speaker 1>thet there's no harm there, zero. But I mean, at

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:22.480
<v Speaker 1>this point, what's what's the upside gonna be for a

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:24.520
<v Speaker 1>running back coming off a torn a c L already

0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>with a hamstring injury, Greg, what's the upside going to be?

0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:32.760
<v Speaker 1>He's legitimately not going to contribute anything until October at

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the earliest. It wouldn't surprise me if he starts here

0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.360
<v Speaker 1>on the pub Greg and all everything that we said

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the week about Adrian Peterson being a value.

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:44.840
<v Speaker 1>You kissed that goodbye. You know his adp just jumped

0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 1>rounder too. So what are you doing with Darius Guys?

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Keeping even the thirteenth rod doesn't cost me anything? Alright,

0:23:52.520 --> 0:23:56.000
<v Speaker 1>But you're absolutely right, Adrian Peterson's value goes up. Darius Guys,

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:57.399
<v Speaker 1>who was going in the seventh round. How much has

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:01.680
<v Speaker 1>he fallen now? I would say at least two. Absolutely absolutely,

0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 1>look at the tenth round for him. Round m that sucks, man.

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel bad for Darius Guys. Excited. I just three

0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:12.119
<v Speaker 1>going over him in my fishball. Good call, work that

0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:15.040
<v Speaker 1>all right? Work that all right? Um. So that's the

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>big news is Darius Guys versus hamstring. He will not,

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 1>excuse me, not be ready for the beginning of training camp. Frank.

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 1>The Yankees lineup is out, and that brings me to TV.

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Brings me to the fact that baseball is back. The

0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:31.600
<v Speaker 1>All Star Game happened couple of days ago. Baseball was

0:24:31.640 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 1>back last night. We had one game, whatever one on

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 1>our picks. It's a nice little start there, a pretty good,

0:24:39.000 --> 0:24:41.280
<v Speaker 1>not bad. I remember about a month ago this time,

0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:43.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe a month and a half Saturday in this chair,

0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and I said, lance Lynn is awesome. He's throwing a

0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:51.040
<v Speaker 1>cutter slider more this year. I mean in years past,

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:52.719
<v Speaker 1>he was a guy who relied on his fastball over

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:54.880
<v Speaker 1>seventy of the time. He throws like two or three

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.240
<v Speaker 1>different iterations of a fastball. So it's not just like

0:24:57.359 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a Freddie peralta great fastball four seamor that he throws

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:04.360
<v Speaker 1>every single time. Lance Land has like three different kinds

0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of fastballs that that he uses. But this year he's

0:25:06.960 --> 0:25:09.679
<v Speaker 1>also working in a cutter slash slider, which has been

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 1>awesome for him. I mean, to strike out the Houston

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Astros eleven times and goes seven shoutout endings. Phenomenal job

0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:18.440
<v Speaker 1>by lance Land. I love him for fantasy purposes. Moving forward,

0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and we've talked about this as well. Greg Chris Woodward

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 1>and what he's done with the Texas Rangers. You can't

0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:29.080
<v Speaker 1>say enough good things about how quickly he has turned

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>this team around. And a lot of that goes to

0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 1>obviously him, A lot of it goes to what they've

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:36.520
<v Speaker 1>done with the pitching staff, turning around guys like Mike Minor,

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:39.679
<v Speaker 1>lance Lynn, and how about Joey Gallo Joey Gallow, I mean,

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:43.959
<v Speaker 1>even missing a couple of weeks because of because of

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:46.719
<v Speaker 1>the what was oblique oblique with Joey Gallow. He's having

0:25:46.720 --> 0:25:51.200
<v Speaker 1>a phenomenal season career year finally, you know, but lifting

0:25:51.240 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 1>that batting average and uh and putting together that that

0:25:53.840 --> 0:25:56.240
<v Speaker 1>monster season that we thought he could have. So shout

0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 1>out to the Rangers. They're doing a great jobs here.

0:25:57.760 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Shout out to Chris Woodward, first year manager. Way. It's

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>so weird to me that, like Wilson Contar didn't play

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>today first day after they all start freak, why are

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you playing? What are we doing? Greg? Well, he caught

0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:12.040
<v Speaker 1>three or four innings in the All Star Game. Guess

0:26:12.040 --> 0:26:15.479
<v Speaker 1>he needed a break. Unless it's say, you, Darvis has

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 1>a personal catcher thing. I don't know. That might be

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a thing. Maybe it is, maybe what's going on in

0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:20.600
<v Speaker 1>that game? Actually, can we get it up to here?

0:26:20.720 --> 0:26:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Sure it is nothing nothing? Oh bottom four. I started

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Chris Archer in one of my homeses. No, well, actually

0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I started Chris Archer in the Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational,

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and I started you Darvish in one of my home leagues.

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:37.640
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna love this then, right, it's Chris Archer three

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:42.719
<v Speaker 1>and two thirds, one hit, no walks, six ks, no.

0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:44.439
<v Speaker 1>But he has first and second right now against him.

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Victor Karattini up, I could do one better for you.

0:26:48.160 --> 0:26:55.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you got you, Darvish? Four innings, perfect, seven strikeouts,

0:26:56.040 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 1>zero walks, zero hits for you, Darvish? Well good. Hopefully,

0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Look if we can get these guys back on track

0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>for the second half, that that could be huge for

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:09.639
<v Speaker 1>fantasy purposes. You, Darvish and Chris Archer, we know what

0:27:09.720 --> 0:27:11.399
<v Speaker 1>the upside can be for these guys. It's been a

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 1>disastrous season for Chris Archer. And look, I will take

0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the l I'll hold it up on my forehead. I

0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:19.639
<v Speaker 1>was wrong about Chris Archer. It was it was the

0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:21.600
<v Speaker 1>first year that I was in on him because I

0:27:21.600 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 1>thought that you were finally getting him at that discount

0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:27.680
<v Speaker 1>that you've deserved. You gotta discount, yeah, but not a

0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:29.639
<v Speaker 1>big enough one because he sits right now at a

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:32.479
<v Speaker 1>five point to five e r A. I think he's

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>still a talented player, but let's see if he can

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>put it together for the second half. And you, Darvish,

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you know I've continuously talked about how since that six

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>walk performance against the Marlins. He's upped his cutter usage

0:27:43.320 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 1>tremendously and it's basically like intense starts. Since then, his

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:50.880
<v Speaker 1>X fit is like three seven or three eight. So

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I think better days are coming for you. Darvish starts

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:55.960
<v Speaker 1>right now. Full slate of games tonight on the MLB schedule.

0:27:55.960 --> 0:27:57.320
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna take a look at all. We'll give your

0:27:57.320 --> 0:27:58.960
<v Speaker 1>best bets a little bit later on, but we're gonna

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>go with the game by game because what we're trying

0:28:00.760 --> 0:28:01.879
<v Speaker 1>to help you to win some money. Do you have

0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>a Jason Stark trivia question today? Greg, It's Friday. It's

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:08.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later. I ever got is Friday. It's Friday, Friday,

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the Jason Stark trivial question of the day. I gotta

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 1>get our Jason Stark trivia question on Friday. All right,

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:17.480
<v Speaker 1>here we go. You're Jason Stark trivia question. Let me

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 1>see if I find it. I don't know if it

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:21.760
<v Speaker 1>has one, dude, it's kind of it's kind of dick,

0:28:24.080 --> 0:28:26.680
<v Speaker 1>is it not. I guess this is normally this thing.

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 1>It's normally your thing. You get very excited about it.

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I love it. All right, Well, if there's no trivia

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>question Greg, then we can start to preview the baseball

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 1>games for tonight. Maybe, Hey, Alex, do you have a

0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:39.200
<v Speaker 1>trivia question for us? By a chance? Why would Alex

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:41.080
<v Speaker 1>have a trivia question? Now? Do you want, like just

0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 1>a basic pop culture trivia question? Do you have one

0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:45.960
<v Speaker 1>something about Long Island? There's a lot going on with

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Long Island right now, this whole bagel thing going on.

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really want to question. I'm based on the

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 1>bagel thing. I didn't really know much about this bagel

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:57.280
<v Speaker 1>thing until I heard Gabe and Joe Verniery talking about

0:28:57.280 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 1>it a lot this morning, and then I Alex fill

0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 1>me in. Alex is basically the guy who's been filling

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 1>me in on anything that's going on in the world,

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 1>which is good. I mean that was my job. Yeah,

0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:10.160
<v Speaker 1>well you've been slacking, all right, I mean you didn't

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you didn't tell me about the bagel guy. Well, I

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 1>think you just watch your programming. Well, what's going on

0:29:15.000 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>with this Area fifty one thing right now? Do you

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:18.240
<v Speaker 1>want to fill me in on that? Four hundred thousand

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:21.000
<v Speaker 1>people sign a petition to go store Area fifty one.

0:29:21.560 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Why it became a Facebook event and uh, about four

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of people now have signed up to a storm

0:29:28.240 --> 0:29:30.680
<v Speaker 1>area fift to one because they can't stop all of us, apparently,

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 1>quote from the post September twenty frank nine days before

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 1>my birthday. They can't stop all of us. What does

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that mean? You're gonna store? Anie? Is? I know that.

0:29:43.040 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a map in Tony Hawk pro Skater

0:29:45.880 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the first game. All right, so let me start there.

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Something about aliens I think they have. I think it's

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 1>an area where they have a bunch of hidden things

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>locked away. Is that kind of the gist of it?

0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 1>That's the thought? Yeah, So I'm gonna read you, like

0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the first a lot of area fifthing. To Wikipedia, the

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 1>United States Air Force Facility Common Knows Everything one is

0:30:03.760 --> 0:30:06.880
<v Speaker 1>a highly classified remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 1>within the Nevada Test and Training Range. Basically, it comes

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 1>from a term of the CIA used during the Vietnam War,

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and there is a thought that aliens landed there and

0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 1>they are being kept there for observation. Aliens are that's

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the idea, and they're gonna storm and they're gonna find out. Well,

0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what you do when you tell them what

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 1>you're going to do is if there are aliens there, right, Greg,

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:38.240
<v Speaker 1>You give them the opportunity to move them somewhere else.

0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:42.920
<v Speaker 1>That's right, And it isn't that right? Am I missing something? Absolutely?

0:30:43.000 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>You tell them that you're gonna do something. They know

0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:48.800
<v Speaker 1>it's coming. If there is anything there, they're just gonna

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 1>move it or MLV picks are next. Hey, thanks for

<v Speaker 1>song is this again? Uh? That breaking the habit? Look

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 1>at parksons? No, if you want to tell you, you you

0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:51.840
<v Speaker 1>want to guess he's looking park centuries? So yep, a

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:54.040
<v Speaker 1>park break all right? It was centuries, all right, But

0:31:54.040 --> 0:31:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was like breaking the hay look at park.

0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I was fine, it's wrong, all right. We got fourteen

0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 1>minutes ago, Frank, I thought it was the all my brothers.

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:03.800
<v Speaker 1>You needn't get my olmin brother's joke. O't wait. I

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:05.880
<v Speaker 1>know that old people listen to them, and you fit

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 1>that category. A true story. When was your older brother's

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 1>conversation when we were talking about Greg Allmond, the Tampa

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Bay Bucks beat reporter for the That was Wednesday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I got a text from me why and you did too. Yeah,

0:32:23.200 --> 0:32:25.479
<v Speaker 1>this was awesome. He's listening to the Allmen brothers. Oh,

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 1>that's cool, like you. We we got the All Brothers

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:28.840
<v Speaker 1>in your head like you, you're listening to them. And

0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:31.479
<v Speaker 1>he's like, no, I literally just pulled out a record

0:32:32.040 --> 0:32:34.600
<v Speaker 1>listen to you during dinner and there's your older brothers.

0:32:34.720 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, that is weird and awesome. It was

0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:41.920
<v Speaker 1>weird for sure. Um Gee, when you and King have dinner,

0:32:42.840 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 1>do you listen to music in the background? No, maybe

0:32:45.760 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 1>we'll try it. I never thought about it, Like, so,

0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 1>usually watch a television show in Brooklyn nine or something. Yeah,

0:32:51.480 --> 0:32:54.200
<v Speaker 1>so sometimes that we're eating dinner we have we have

0:32:54.240 --> 0:32:55.720
<v Speaker 1>it in the back way, like music in the background.

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I like it. My dad, It's just my dad has

0:32:58.920 --> 0:33:01.560
<v Speaker 1>always done it, and you do it. I like it. Okay,

0:33:01.680 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't listen like hardcore rat in the background, but

0:33:03.880 --> 0:33:07.440
<v Speaker 1>like just some like background music. You don't have the

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:10.479
<v Speaker 1>next episode playing in the background with you and Judy

0:33:11.080 --> 0:33:15.800
<v Speaker 1>slopping down some Yoki. Yeah, oh my god, it makes

0:33:15.840 --> 0:33:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the next week. I might have to all right tonight.

0:33:19.000 --> 0:33:21.280
<v Speaker 1>The Nats and the Phillies lead us off six o

0:33:21.520 --> 0:33:25.920
<v Speaker 1>five start from Philadelphia. What do you think about this one, Frank?

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 1>The Nats and the Phillies division matchup here, Greggy pulling

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.120
<v Speaker 1>up the odds. Here you have the National Steven Strasburg

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:37.960
<v Speaker 1>against Nick Pavetta, the Nationals even on the road here

0:33:38.000 --> 0:33:41.640
<v Speaker 1>in Philadelphia, a minus one fifty favorite total at nine

0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:48.280
<v Speaker 1>and a half. There's nothing I really love here. I

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:51.080
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want to take Pavetta and the Phillies at plus

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:53.640
<v Speaker 1>one thirty. Pavetta just hasn't pitched a well recently, and

0:33:53.680 --> 0:33:56.320
<v Speaker 1>that's obviously where the value is. Like, you can lay

0:33:56.360 --> 0:33:58.840
<v Speaker 1>minus one fifty with Strasburg, but I don't really love

0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>that either. And these nine and a half totals with

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:05.920
<v Speaker 1>one questionable picture and like one good picture, they're kind

0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of hard to figure out. I think this game is

0:34:07.480 --> 0:34:09.399
<v Speaker 1>just an overall avoid for me. What do you think? Yeah,

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not messing with this one. I don't I don't

0:34:11.680 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 1>like it. Have anything. I'm betting on the Gnats. It's

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:17.719
<v Speaker 1>not great. Yeah, I don't know. You have to lay

0:34:17.760 --> 0:34:20.360
<v Speaker 1>too much, all right? You have the raise in Baltimore,

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Aoni Torenos versus Dylan Bundy's being a laying too much?

0:34:23.680 --> 0:34:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Mus want seventy four for the raise? Certainly can't be

0:34:26.160 --> 0:34:30.399
<v Speaker 1>betting on the Orioles. No, No, not killing Bundy either.

0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Um yeah, look their home they're in Camden Yards. Plus

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:36.480
<v Speaker 1>one fifty for the Baltimore Orioles here, minus one seventy

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:40.560
<v Speaker 1>four for Yanni Tornos and the Tampa Bay Rays again

0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a nine and a half total here. Yanni Torenos, for

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the most part, has pitched well this season. Dylan Bundy

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 1>has shown I guess flashes at times, but this it wouldn't.

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:53.000
<v Speaker 1>This is a game that wouldn't surprise me if it

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:55.759
<v Speaker 1>goes over the number. Greg just because it's warm here

0:34:55.800 --> 0:34:58.000
<v Speaker 1>in the Northeast today, I can see the ball flying

0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.880
<v Speaker 1>out in Camden um, and Dylan Bundy is prone to

0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:02.319
<v Speaker 1>giving up home runs. So I guess if I had

0:35:02.320 --> 0:35:04.359
<v Speaker 1>to lean on anything here, it would be the over

0:35:04.440 --> 0:35:05.920
<v Speaker 1>nine and a half. But again, I don't really love

0:35:05.920 --> 0:35:07.279
<v Speaker 1>this game. What do you think? I agree, I can

0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:09.840
<v Speaker 1>mess with this. It's again ultimately just too high between

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the raison and and the Oh's. Maybe I go over

0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:16.319
<v Speaker 1>the nine and a half number. It's not calling out

0:35:16.320 --> 0:35:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to me Yankees in Blue Jays from the stadium. These

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:26.759
<v Speaker 1>are minus three tonight. That seems excessive. That seems excessive. Yeah,

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:29.800
<v Speaker 1>it's what it's only Domingo Harmon's second start. Man man

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:32.319
<v Speaker 1>over un there's eleven some over run. There's eleven and

0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I know Aaron Stage sucks, but like that is a

0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:40.040
<v Speaker 1>huge number. You can't take the under tonight, No you can't.

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I agree, Um yeah, I mean there's nothing to do

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:45.400
<v Speaker 1>here unless you're a Blue Jays fan and you're just like,

0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:47.880
<v Speaker 1>let me throw some money on plus two fifty because

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:53.680
<v Speaker 1>it's just great value, huge underdog. But again, I mean,

0:35:53.719 --> 0:35:55.680
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing that has called out to me so far

0:35:55.680 --> 0:35:59.520
<v Speaker 1>in these first three games that we've talked about. Craig, Yeah, absolutely,

0:35:59.760 --> 0:36:03.280
<v Speaker 1>after keep it rocking now, this is a good one.

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>It is Marianna Rivera Captain America at the stadium. I

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:09.840
<v Speaker 1>did want to go to this game. So if you

0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:12.200
<v Speaker 1>live in the New York New Jersey area, and you

0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:16.520
<v Speaker 1>want shot a shot at a Captain America Marvel bobblehead, Danny,

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:18.359
<v Speaker 1>if you want to send someone there to go pick

<v Speaker 1>even know from Danny. You didn't say no, What do

0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you think, Danny want to send me? I mean if

0:36:55.320 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 1>your pictures. Yeah, I'm good. Well, even we can put

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 1>it on the desk for the show. Yeah, there you go.

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.399
<v Speaker 1>We'll share it. We'll share it. I'll even throw another

0:37:03.400 --> 0:37:09.160
<v Speaker 1>five myself another five. There? Who else we got downstairs?

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:13.279
<v Speaker 1>What about Steve? What about Sean? And we got five dollars, right,

0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you're just gonna go alone. Yeah, I'm not going to

0:37:15.680 --> 0:37:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the game, all right, prove that point calls you right

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:20.920
<v Speaker 1>out there? All right? Uh, Battle of the Ale Central.

0:37:20.960 --> 0:37:25.000
<v Speaker 1>You're Twinkies against the Indians, And like Clevinger, min there's

0:37:25.040 --> 0:37:28.759
<v Speaker 1>one Footy or the Indians tonight. Yeah, this is an

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 1>interesting game because the last start that Clevinger had, he

0:37:31.600 --> 0:37:34.200
<v Speaker 1>looked dominant. He looked awesome in that in his most

0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:37.439
<v Speaker 1>recent start, but in the few starts before that, since

0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:40.800
<v Speaker 1>returning off that long I Yellston, he didn't look himself.

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:42.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's kind of been a mixed bag here for

0:37:42.520 --> 0:37:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Mike Clevinger, and he's going up against a really dangerous

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:49.800
<v Speaker 1>lineup in the Minnesota Twins Division match up here again, Greg,

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just a tough slate tonight because because look,

0:37:53.440 --> 0:37:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you're coming out of the All Star Break, all these

0:37:56.560 --> 0:38:00.880
<v Speaker 1>teams are going to be fresh tonight. I don't know.

0:38:01.000 --> 0:38:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't really have a strong lean on this one.

0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:05.640
<v Speaker 1>The total is only nine, but the Indians lineup has

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:08.839
<v Speaker 1>been playing better, so would it surprised me if they

0:38:08.880 --> 0:38:11.879
<v Speaker 1>go over the number? I mean, much like Clevinger, Kyle

0:38:11.960 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 1>Gibson has been mostly inconsistent. Like he goes through stretches

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:17.520
<v Speaker 1>where he pitches really, really well, but he also has

0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:20.960
<v Speaker 1>these games where he gets blown up. So I don't

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:23.600
<v Speaker 1>really love this game either. It's a Clevinger in the Indians,

0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:27.399
<v Speaker 1>laying minus one forty, they're the favorites at home. Kyle

0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:29.759
<v Speaker 1>gives it in the Twins at plus one two. I

0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:31.920
<v Speaker 1>think if I had to choose something here, I'd probably

0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:33.960
<v Speaker 1>take the Twins at plus I'm doing that half to

0:38:34.000 --> 0:38:36.120
<v Speaker 1>choose something. I'm taking Minnesota as well, but I don't

0:38:36.160 --> 0:38:41.719
<v Speaker 1>love it. Mets Caesar in Miami Caleb Smith Jason Varies

0:38:42.400 --> 0:38:45.800
<v Speaker 1>a battle of the two worst teams in the nlink.

0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:48.759
<v Speaker 1>The Mets are not one of the worst teams in

0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the NL. Greg, I know that we like to bash him,

0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:55.239
<v Speaker 1>but are they actually satistically? I don't. I have my

0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:58.600
<v Speaker 1>standings right here in the NL, the the Mets. So

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the Marlins are the worst team, they have three wins.

0:39:00.960 --> 0:39:02.719
<v Speaker 1>The Mets are the second worst team with forty wins.

0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:05.200
<v Speaker 1>As I said, the Mats are the second worst team.

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:08.279
<v Speaker 1>You actually hit that one on the head. I wasn't.

0:39:08.400 --> 0:39:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I knew that. I knew that. I'm telling like I knew.

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I knew that for a fact. I did not realize

0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:14.879
<v Speaker 1>how bad the Mets are. You know, it's interesting. They're bad,

0:39:15.160 --> 0:39:18.400
<v Speaker 1>but the and l's bad as a whole. Yeah, and

0:39:18.400 --> 0:39:21.840
<v Speaker 1>they're not gonna trade Synderguard. Yeah, great job, mass The

0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Mets and the Knicks are the same franchise. They are

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:29.359
<v Speaker 1>the same Francise. You know what's crazy? I just ordered

0:39:29.480 --> 0:39:32.839
<v Speaker 1>r J. Barrack Jersey too. What a mistake. That's Jason

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Vargas against Caleb Smith here, Greg, Caleb Smith's return, what

0:39:37.000 --> 0:39:39.440
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna get here? Obviously he was mostly dominant

0:39:39.640 --> 0:39:41.640
<v Speaker 1>earlier on in the season, a few of the starts.

0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Right before he went on the I l where if

0:39:43.560 --> 0:39:50.040
<v Speaker 1>he the Marlins are home, the Mets lineup is better

0:39:50.080 --> 0:39:52.719
<v Speaker 1>than the Marlins. You can't deny that. So I don't

0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:54.399
<v Speaker 1>like this one either, Greg. I don't like this game.

0:39:54.440 --> 0:39:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't like any of the games tonight. So Brodie

0:39:56.080 --> 0:39:59.200
<v Speaker 1>then was actually was on Frances right now, I believe

0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:03.880
<v Speaker 1>or somewhere he's talking right now. That must be awesome too,

0:40:03.960 --> 0:40:07.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe later, But Brody van Wagen and you know how

0:40:07.040 --> 0:40:10.399
<v Speaker 1>he said the offseason, like come and get us. He said,

0:40:10.480 --> 0:40:14.879
<v Speaker 1>quote they can't and got us. Really. Yeah, at least

0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:16.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a good sense of humor, I guess right. Without

0:40:16.640 --> 0:40:18.840
<v Speaker 1>saying the word, he indicated the Mets will be sellers

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:22.400
<v Speaker 1>at the deadline. He plans on moving expiring contracts. Zach Wheeler,

0:40:23.440 --> 0:40:26.400
<v Speaker 1>it's probably, but he does expect Syndergard and de gram

0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to remain with the team. Do you think that's the

0:40:29.239 --> 0:40:34.520
<v Speaker 1>right call for the Mets? Greg, yes, to keep because

0:40:33.719 --> 0:40:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Sydergard does have two years of arbitration control. Still, Syndergard

0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:40.640
<v Speaker 1>can get you the most of any picture on this market,

0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:44.000
<v Speaker 1>So it depends what's out there. You can be able

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:46.720
<v Speaker 1>to turn this around rather quickly. We were talking about

0:40:46.719 --> 0:40:48.759
<v Speaker 1>this last night down in the pitch, what's it like?

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:51.720
<v Speaker 1>And we both said, as Yankee fans, that the picture

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:53.520
<v Speaker 1>we would want to trade what we would want them

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to trade for most sard So, but if the Yankees

0:40:56.280 --> 0:40:58.560
<v Speaker 1>go to the Mets and go give him Clint Frasier,

0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:01.160
<v Speaker 1>they give him Denmi Garcia, give stabout Florial for instance.

0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:04.120
<v Speaker 1>For the accepting that that would be a pretty quick turnaround.

0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I think they have to accept that. But they wouldn't

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:10.279
<v Speaker 1>because they're the Mets. They wouldn't trade us. Who was

0:41:10.719 --> 0:41:12.800
<v Speaker 1>j Bruce A couple of years ago because they just

0:41:12.840 --> 0:41:14.319
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to deal with the Yankees. Do you think

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:16.319
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna trade them two guys? I mean, we were

0:41:16.360 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 1>just throwing it around hypotheticals. But I think if you

0:41:20.000 --> 0:41:22.080
<v Speaker 1>if you offered the Mets right now as the Yankees

0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Mcgueli and new Hard, Clint Frazier and Devi Garcia, or

0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:30.440
<v Speaker 1>you offer him those three, that should get you Syndergarden

0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:33.400
<v Speaker 1>zec Whieler. But I don't think it's gonna happen. I

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:40.080
<v Speaker 1>like the Mets tonight, by the way, you like the Mets. Yes, again,

0:41:40.200 --> 0:41:42.800
<v Speaker 1>like there's nothing. There's two games that stand out for me.

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:44.520
<v Speaker 1>We haven't got to either one yet. It's probably not

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:47.680
<v Speaker 1>this one either Garrett Cole versus the Rangers and Jesse Chavez.

0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:52.120
<v Speaker 1>So I was looking into trying to parlay the Houston

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Astro's moneyline with something else. But it's like, even if

0:41:56.239 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you put together the Astros and the actually this isn't

0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:02.759
<v Speaker 1>add Gregg. If you parlay the Yankees and Astro's money

0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:04.680
<v Speaker 1>lines tonight, it comes out to minus one oh four.

0:42:04.719 --> 0:42:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're the two biggest they're the two biggest

0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:10.160
<v Speaker 1>favorites on the board, but you know, Garrit Cole did

0:42:10.160 --> 0:42:12.040
<v Speaker 1>face the Rangers earlier on this season and he got

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:15.040
<v Speaker 1>blown up, so it's not I realized that the odds

0:42:15.040 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 1>say that their minus two ten money line, but I

0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:20.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think that in actuality they should be that big

0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:22.520
<v Speaker 1>of favorites. I know how good Garrett Cole is, but

0:42:22.520 --> 0:42:24.600
<v Speaker 1>he's already got blown up once by the Texas Rangers

0:42:24.600 --> 0:42:26.800
<v Speaker 1>so far this year, and they just came out swinging

0:42:26.880 --> 0:42:30.160
<v Speaker 1>last night and they won five zips. So um that

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:32.560
<v Speaker 1>that parlay isn't terrible at minus one oh four, but

0:42:33.160 --> 0:42:35.120
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't surprise me if the Rangers win tonight, so

0:42:35.320 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably not doing that. Let me continue on. I

0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:39.759
<v Speaker 1>re only have a couple of minutes left and I I

0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:41.360
<v Speaker 1>want to try to get to the games as possible.

0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:45.600
<v Speaker 1>It's about all the Grays, Sonny Gray, Geery Gray, what

0:42:45.640 --> 0:42:47.680
<v Speaker 1>do you think? I like this game, Greg, and I

0:42:47.760 --> 0:42:49.719
<v Speaker 1>like the way that the line is moving right now

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:52.920
<v Speaker 1>as well. Earlier before the show, you were getting Sonny

0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Gray and the Cincinnati Reads money line at plus one eighteen.

0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:58.319
<v Speaker 1>It's now up to plus one four over on the

0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:00.560
<v Speaker 1>FanDuel Sports book. You know that I am not a

0:43:00.640 --> 0:43:03.239
<v Speaker 1>John Gray guy. Admittedly, he has pitched a lot better.

0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Specifically in the month of June he pitched well. But

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.760
<v Speaker 1>let's not forget that start that Sonny Gray put together

0:43:07.840 --> 0:43:11.120
<v Speaker 1>right before the All Star break as well, right before

0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:15.600
<v Speaker 1>July four, a completely dominant performance. I realized that they're

0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:18.600
<v Speaker 1>in corps Field. But Sonny Gray has pitched well. I

0:43:18.600 --> 0:43:20.480
<v Speaker 1>think he is the better of the Grays. I think

0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:22.040
<v Speaker 1>the red win tonight at plus once twenty four. I

0:43:22.080 --> 0:43:25.200
<v Speaker 1>like them. Alack Craig, all right, do you like anything

0:43:25.239 --> 0:43:28.879
<v Speaker 1>in this game or now? No, like anything in this game?

0:43:29.760 --> 0:43:31.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean the Reds should be able to put together

0:43:31.440 --> 0:43:34.520
<v Speaker 1>good at bats in coorps Field against John Gray. That's

0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:37.120
<v Speaker 1>like I think using Jesse Winker to night in DFS

0:43:37.400 --> 0:43:39.280
<v Speaker 1>is like a really good play. I gave you the battle.

0:43:39.320 --> 0:43:42.120
<v Speaker 1>The Grays not only get to the battle the Anderson's

0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:47.719
<v Speaker 1>as Sean Anderson, Chase Anderson in Milwaukee, and I mean,

0:43:47.760 --> 0:43:50.480
<v Speaker 1>how can this game excite you in any possible way?

0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:56.960
<v Speaker 1>You have to lay minus one night with Chase Anderson

0:43:56.120 --> 0:43:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and the Milwaukee Brewers going up against the San Francisco Giants.

0:43:59.880 --> 0:44:01.640
<v Speaker 1>There is just not a lot of value here, Greg,

0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:03.640
<v Speaker 1>and the total is a weird one too, because at

0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:06.760
<v Speaker 1>nine and a half, Yeah, the Briant the Brewers should

0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:08.960
<v Speaker 1>be able to put up some runs against Seawan Anderson,

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:11.680
<v Speaker 1>but you don't. You don't really have a lot of

0:44:11.680 --> 0:44:14.120
<v Speaker 1>faith in the Giants being able to score anything here.

0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:17.560
<v Speaker 1>This game is the pass for me. White Sox Athletics

0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:20.839
<v Speaker 1>is a minus one ninety favorite at home against Ivan

0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Nova in the White Sox. That seems a little out

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 1>of whack to me, Frankie. Yeah, that's a big number, right,

0:44:26.200 --> 0:44:28.400
<v Speaker 1>ninety for the Oakland A's best better than night is

0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:31.520
<v Speaker 1>a White Sox plus one sixty four. You love Ivan Nova.

0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:33.400
<v Speaker 1>You cannot get enough of Ivan Nova. He did not

0:44:33.400 --> 0:44:35.040
<v Speaker 1>allow home run his last start. I believe it was

0:44:35.080 --> 0:44:37.600
<v Speaker 1>the first time all year five and two thirds. Let's

<v Speaker 1>So what did happen? What did happens? Here's what you

0:45:47.280 --> 0:45:50.960
<v Speaker 1>missed on the BFS. How early would you take early?

0:45:50.960 --> 0:45:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Why are you believing him? Uh? What makes you so

0:45:53.480 --> 0:45:56.880
<v Speaker 1>high on Girley? I think he's in play as early

0:45:56.920 --> 0:45:59.000
<v Speaker 1>as the late first round, but I prefer him in

0:45:59.040 --> 0:46:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the second round. But the reason I'm in on Todd

0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Gurley has more to do with the rams offense and

0:46:04.480 --> 0:46:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and how it's going to lead to whoever is the

0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:10.440
<v Speaker 1>running back there being successful. And Todd Gurley has been

0:46:10.480 --> 0:46:13.040
<v Speaker 1>off the charts efficiently good if he was not healthy,

0:46:13.080 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if he was not an injury risk with

0:46:14.640 --> 0:46:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the knee, he'd be going first overall, ahead of Sae

0:46:16.680 --> 0:46:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Kwon Barkley, no questions acts And I just looked at

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.520
<v Speaker 1>that as We're hearing a lot of negative reports this year,

0:46:22.520 --> 0:46:24.120
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of them have been the same few

0:46:24.160 --> 0:46:27.680
<v Speaker 1>things over and over again, clickbait, it's offseason stories. We

0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:31.040
<v Speaker 1>also have heard positive reports that Sean McVeigh himself has

0:46:31.040 --> 0:46:32.560
<v Speaker 1>said Todd Gurley is still going to be the focal

0:46:32.600 --> 0:46:34.880
<v Speaker 1>point of this offense. Maurice Jones Drew, who is their

0:46:35.000 --> 0:46:38.359
<v Speaker 1>radio play by play announcer and NFL said he's gonna

0:46:38.400 --> 0:46:41.000
<v Speaker 1>see fewer snaps, but the touches could still be upwards

0:46:41.000 --> 0:46:42.959
<v Speaker 1>of twenty a game. We've seen reports that have said

0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:45.839
<v Speaker 1>seventeen to twenty two touches per game for Todd Gurley,

0:46:45.880 --> 0:46:48.319
<v Speaker 1>and I broke it down, if he does what he

0:46:48.400 --> 0:46:51.240
<v Speaker 1>did last year on a per touch basis, he's easily

0:46:51.239 --> 0:46:53.759
<v Speaker 1>worth this pick. But even if his efficiency goes from

0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:56.760
<v Speaker 1>last year, it was one point one eight PPR points

0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:59.080
<v Speaker 1>per touch. Let's say we scale that all the way

0:46:59.120 --> 0:47:02.040
<v Speaker 1>back down to one PPR point per touch. If he's

0:47:02.080 --> 0:47:04.920
<v Speaker 1>seeing seventeen touches per game on average, he will finish

0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:07.240
<v Speaker 1>at least as of last year as the RB eight.

0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:09.920
<v Speaker 1>So there's really, in my opinion, it's being overblown, and

0:47:09.960 --> 0:47:12.360
<v Speaker 1>a big part of it is because of how efficient

0:47:12.400 --> 0:47:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the rams are going to be. This this is a

0:47:14.400 --> 0:47:17.719
<v Speaker 1>crazy stack. Todd Gurley had eight defenders in the box

0:47:17.800 --> 0:47:19.600
<v Speaker 1>last year eight point two percent of the time. The

0:47:19.640 --> 0:47:22.680
<v Speaker 1>only running backs with fewer were terkoh And and and Wendel Smallwood.

0:47:22.680 --> 0:47:25.480
<v Speaker 1>We're talking past catching specialists who like in Smallwood's cases

0:47:25.480 --> 0:47:27.359
<v Speaker 1>out there on third downs. Todd Gurley, the guy who

0:47:27.440 --> 0:47:29.719
<v Speaker 1>leads the league in touchdowns the last two years. They

0:47:29.760 --> 0:47:32.840
<v Speaker 1>can't stack up boxes against him because the rams spread

0:47:32.840 --> 0:47:35.239
<v Speaker 1>the ball out so much. Additionally, it leads to him

0:47:35.280 --> 0:47:38.239
<v Speaker 1>being very effective in the passing game. Last year, Todd

0:47:38.280 --> 0:47:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Gurley was one of eight running backs with a minimum

0:47:41.160 --> 0:47:45.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty five targets to average over seven receiving yards per target.

0:47:45.840 --> 0:47:49.080
<v Speaker 1>So he's going to gain I believe yardage still in chunks.

0:47:49.160 --> 0:47:51.960
<v Speaker 1>I still believe he can lead the league in touchdowns,

0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:54.320
<v Speaker 1>because if the Rams keeps saying he's going to be

0:47:54.360 --> 0:47:55.839
<v Speaker 1>the focal point of their offense, we know that when

0:47:55.880 --> 0:47:57.799
<v Speaker 1>they get near pay dirt, it's going to go to

0:47:57.800 --> 0:48:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Todd Gurley up the middle. So unless you think he

0:48:00.320 --> 0:48:02.480
<v Speaker 1>is really going to miss a lot of time, I

0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:05.040
<v Speaker 1>think that is the only way I would be avoiding

0:48:05.080 --> 0:48:06.880
<v Speaker 1>him because I to me, this doesn't seem like a

0:48:06.880 --> 0:48:09.600
<v Speaker 1>scenario where yeah, they drafted Darryl Henderson, but I don't

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:11.759
<v Speaker 1>think they're going to try to limit Todd Gurley to

0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:13.960
<v Speaker 1>less than fifteen touches per games. So just on the

0:48:14.000 --> 0:48:17.000
<v Speaker 1>efficiency alone of the Rams offense, there is a lot

0:48:17.040 --> 0:48:19.319
<v Speaker 1>of room for upside and the floor. I still think

0:48:19.320 --> 0:48:20.759
<v Speaker 1>it's higher than people want to give him credit for

0:48:20.920 --> 0:48:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the status. Provided are all well and good. I mean

0:48:22.960 --> 0:48:25.320
<v Speaker 1>they're they're awesome, But I didn't need you to convince

0:48:25.320 --> 0:48:26.960
<v Speaker 1>me how awesome Todd Gurley is. Right like I know

0:48:26.960 --> 0:48:28.719
<v Speaker 1>it's Todd Gurley is a percent healthy and there are

0:48:28.719 --> 0:48:31.120
<v Speaker 1>no there are no issues. He's number one overall pick.
