Speaker 1: our number two of the Fantasy best Friends Forever Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network resmer No No No Metallico open today,
Speaker 1: which is certainly hot problem. Believe me, there are you
Speaker 1: okay with that? But I'm here Florio is not Frankly
Speaker 1: back in a moment. But during this hour, we're gonna
Speaker 1: go over some of those veterans that we didn't get
Speaker 1: a chance to talk about an hour one that may
Speaker 1: fly under the radars. We want to make sure we
Speaker 1: get you those names. Obviously, it's a fabruou loso Friday
Speaker 1: here on the BFS. We're all gonna get you your
Speaker 1: two star pitchers. I know we wanted to talk um
Speaker 1: a little bit about Blazers and Warriors as well. You
Speaker 1: noticed frank shirt when he comes back where it says,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna spoil it for you. If you didn't
Speaker 1: see it, you'll notice it when he walked back into
Speaker 1: the shot. But nevertheless, a lot to talk about here,
Speaker 1: a lot to get to and I want to make
Speaker 1: sure we're able to hit it all. Um, Well we'll
Speaker 1: try to hit on some of the players last night
Speaker 1: that stood out to us. But it's a big prospect show.
Speaker 1: It's a big transaction show. It's a Waiver Wire Friday.
Speaker 1: It's a fabulous Losso Friday as well. For you want
Speaker 1: to stand episode. We can see your shirt. Man, it's great.
Speaker 1: Great the I'm trying Jennifer sure, which is great. It
Speaker 1: would have been better if CJ. McCollum would have won
Speaker 1: last night. Did They should have won that game too, man,
Speaker 1: choked it away. They were leading for a lot of
Speaker 1: that game, had as much as a eighteen point lead
Speaker 1: and some point. Um, they played well, played well overall.
Speaker 1: They got nice contributions from Seth Curry. Obviously it was
Speaker 1: a really entertaining game. Um, but they choked away at
Speaker 1: the end. But you have to give credits where credits do?
Speaker 1: I mean? The Warriors took advantage great play by andre Iguodala.
Speaker 1: For people who are saying, well, Andrew Youguodala foul Damian Lillard,
Speaker 1: he did not. You watched they were kind of Joscelyn
Speaker 1: back and forth, and Damian Lillard was, you know, hand
Speaker 1: checking him as much as andre Iguodala was hand checking Lillard.
Speaker 1: So it kind of goes both ways. You just you
Speaker 1: let them play it out there. So and it was
Speaker 1: a great defensive play. So I don't have any problem
Speaker 1: with it. It was a fun game. Greg. Do you
Speaker 1: want to have the should do the Jason Stations start?
Speaker 1: Chicky question of the week. I don't know how well
Speaker 1: I could perform without venture here, but we'll see. Well
Speaker 1: last week we didn't been trying the Florida, and I
Speaker 1: feel like we didn't perform very well. Did we We
Speaker 1: had we had? I think we we got two out
Speaker 1: of three? All right, But I'm in it all because
Speaker 1: haven't look at the answer. King Felix and Clint Kershaw
Speaker 1: the two active players with two thousands wrikeouts and all
Speaker 1: of them being for one team. You need the three
Speaker 1: other active players with or more strikeouts all for one team,
Speaker 1: all right, massive bum guards gotta be one right, So
Speaker 1: could this be a player that's played for two teams,
Speaker 1: but did it for one team? I don't think so.
Speaker 1: I think Verlander came to mind of media and obviously,
Speaker 1: but I don't think so. It's got to be just
Speaker 1: one team. Yeah, bum Guard is a great one. Adam Wayne, right,
Speaker 1: great one, that's fantastic. Can we get one warrior? Um man,
Speaker 1: let's see here stouts all one team team kind of
Speaker 1: you know, you automatically think veteran, but like bunk Guard
Speaker 1: is not even that old. He's been around a long time,
Speaker 1: so it's like one of those players that you're thinking about.
Speaker 1: Ye wait, is a fantastic guests for sure? Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1: I don't really have a I don't have a good
Speaker 1: one here. Well, man, making our way through our teams,
Speaker 1: we'll get there. Yeah, I'm thinking likes not there yet. Now.
Speaker 1: I thought about the I thought about the Mets guy
Speaker 1: because they've all been there a while. Um m mmmmmm,
Speaker 1: you're cold change. But he's too young anyway, it's probably
Speaker 1: in the National League. Then Corey Cluber. That's a not
Speaker 1: bad guess. Clooper is a really good one actually start
Speaker 1: to his career, but basically pitched too under innings for
Speaker 1: like six ort eight years before this one. He's probably close.
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's doing. That's a good guest, though,
Speaker 1: is definitely a good guess. I like that for sure.
Speaker 1: It could be right, and I don't know. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: everybody else would mind. I don't know. I'm like scrolling
Speaker 1: through the teams in my head and their rotations and stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's going up for sale. Two teams, three teams.
Speaker 1: I don't really have a great guess. All right, maybe
Speaker 1: we have the three. Hey, i'll look it up here.
Speaker 1: You are, you're gonna you're gonna find out right now,
Speaker 1: you know what I thought about this player and I
Speaker 1: moved on. So Cluber is thirty nine strikeouts short, wait right,
Speaker 1: and bummy are correct? The third person I'm really mad
Speaker 1: because I thought about him and I thought he was
Speaker 1: too young. Gram has one thousand sixty four. The other
Speaker 1: maybe the other ones that just missed, Carlos Carrasco at nine,
Speaker 1: Julio Tehran at ten seventy four, the the third players
Speaker 1: fifteen nineteen. The only clue I will give you was
Speaker 1: I thought about him, but I thought he was too young.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's not enough, do I tell you what league
Speaker 1: it is? National League? National League? Do you guys played
Speaker 1: downstairs too? Obviously thought too young? Uh? Going through the team,
Speaker 1: sames there it is Steven Stotsburgh. Yep, yes, makes sense.
Speaker 1: I thought about him. We were actually right, we were
Speaker 1: right on the were the team I had, I said,
Speaker 1: I literally Shotsburg was the first names that hit in
Speaker 1: my mind, and I just thought he was too young.
Speaker 1: It's good, all right. Well we got two to three
Speaker 1: yep counts for something pretty good. I think we're doing well,
Speaker 1: all right, so uh miss tweeted out a historical tweet
Speaker 1: during the break. By the way, the Marlins have not
Speaker 1: scored a run since last Saturday. Oh my god, it's
Speaker 1: been almost a week. Oh and you know what, here's
Speaker 1: your reward for not scoring in a week. You get
Speaker 1: to face Jacob de Grand tonight. It's been almost three games.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Because I used had some rain outs
Speaker 1: and whatnot, but it not scored a run since last Saturday.
Speaker 1: He said. Until the Marlin score run, I will only
Speaker 1: tweet in Spanish. I'm gonna guess that he's not gonna
Speaker 1: be tweeting a while. This is gonna this is gonna
Speaker 1: be the night. This is gonna be a game where
Speaker 1: like they randomly get to Jacob Degraham and they score
Speaker 1: like three runs off of him in the first setting shoot.
Speaker 1: It's not surprising, not surprising. That's why everyone streams against him. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, play was just thinking about that. I
Speaker 1: wanted to get to grow up in my lineup, and
Speaker 1: everyone will want to get him in there. But he's
Speaker 1: twelve tho dollars on Fandel tonight. He's gonna be very
Speaker 1: true talking for cash games. I believe that, but it's
Speaker 1: hard to fit them in. So the way it works is,
Speaker 1: if you've been in our Fandel contest before, it's a
Speaker 1: twenty person contest, it's two dollar entry, top three positions
Speaker 1: play out. You hit the friends tab on the top
Speaker 1: of the FanDuel website and you're already in the contest.
Speaker 1: If you've been in it before, all you have to
Speaker 1: do is set your lineup. That's it, and you're good
Speaker 1: to go. So make sure you set your lineup by today,
Speaker 1: uh four or five pm ish if you want to
Speaker 1: join in. We're full right now. But if there are
Speaker 1: people that are into contests by four or five pm
Speaker 1: who haven't set their lineup, I will boot those people
Speaker 1: and I will send out more invites, So if you
Speaker 1: want to join in, send me your user name. I
Speaker 1: actually have a user name waiting in the wings right
Speaker 1: now in case someone does not set their lineup. That
Speaker 1: is U. That is Be Jensen Bryan Jensen in the
Speaker 1: YouTube chat the other day. Don't worry, I haven't forgot
Speaker 1: about you. I have your name here. If people don't
Speaker 1: set their lineups, you will get the invite this afternoon.
Speaker 1: Make sure to set your lineups. I've set my line up,
Speaker 1: Frank already I have as well. We have the same picture.
Speaker 1: We do and not reveal, all right, go on, Grey,
Speaker 1: We don't want other people to take our picture. Do
Speaker 1: you have any other players that I have? Probably I
Speaker 1: don't know. Man. Do you have Paul Dong? Me too? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Do you have any Dodgers players? The two of them?
Speaker 1: Have two of them as well. We have the same
Speaker 1: lineup though they pay mine play the same position. Uh mind,
Speaker 1: you're not there, you go. We have one they probably
Speaker 1: won the same one, the same one, not the same.
Speaker 1: Probably want to hear one player? Do you have my
Speaker 1: line up? Who is that? Walk on the squad? Malix Smith? Oh? Greg,
Speaker 1: you know, give me this? Not a lot to have.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, maybe not a lot to have Alex Smith
Speaker 1: in your lineup Bucks tonight. Hey, Homer, last night exactly
Speaker 1: could steal based to night and nine. That was a lock.
Speaker 1: It was a lock that he's gonna come up the
Speaker 1: day after the lunch that ended. And you know, people
Speaker 1: were tweeting at me last night then they were like,
Speaker 1: Greg still needs to honor this. He's up a day after.
Speaker 1: No way, you got it right now. It's Smith's back up.
Speaker 1: He We had a bet. We said it was the rules.
Speaker 1: I'm not agreeing with those tweets. I'm just telling you
Speaker 1: what people were saying. I understand I lost, although it
Speaker 1: was close the skin of my teeth. You have a
Speaker 1: beer from the downstairs fridge if you like. I'm sure
Speaker 1: I will at some point today. Although I saw Alex
Speaker 1: in the bathroom downstairs, I think he's just plowing through
Speaker 1: twisted teeth. That's what it is. Oh God, Alex, howbody
Speaker 1: twist the tease? If you had at this point only two?
Speaker 1: Were there only two in there? It's for you guys,
Speaker 1: on clearing some space for you guys. We appreciate it.
Speaker 1: There there only two left? Well, I only saw two
Speaker 1: in there. There might be one left. Now they're all gone.
Speaker 1: Thanks Alex. Why haven't you moved on to beer? Well
Speaker 1: it's for you know, when I get home, I gotta
Speaker 1: pace myself. You don't want a marathon, not a sprint.
Speaker 1: True story. By the way, when we were all went
Speaker 1: out for or Groove Outing Christmas party nineteen through eight team,
Speaker 1: rather we all went out, we all went up the bar.
Speaker 1: We got there exactly what we said we were. We
Speaker 1: found a section that we were just standing. It was
Speaker 1: a great time, had a blast. I'm just being reminded
Speaker 1: of what you're about to say. Now. So a half
Speaker 1: hour later, like a half hour legitimately maybe an hour,
Speaker 1: we see some ANIL understand with the hat after like
Speaker 1: uh no, and now I just sent with the hat.
Speaker 1: It was like walking toward us. I mean, oh, Alex,
Speaker 1: hey man, I thought you were gonna be here, Hurley,
Speaker 1: He's like, dude, I mean even like the last hour
Speaker 1: and a half, what like, what do you mean even
Speaker 1: even the last hour and a half, like we just
Speaker 1: said at the bar watching the Islanders game, I was
Speaker 1: just so focused I didn't notice anybody around me. Well,
Speaker 1: I think actually Bona when he originally told us the plans.
Speaker 1: I think he said seven pm, but apparently it was
Speaker 1: eight pm or something like that. I went in the
Speaker 1: notion saying, you know what, if it's seven or eight,
Speaker 1: I don't care because the Islander game starts it it in.
Speaker 1: So I was just gonna go sit at the bar
Speaker 1: watching watch the game, and you guys are just gonna
Speaker 1: trickle in. I should expect you guys to fully all
Speaker 1: be there by the time I went to go outside
Speaker 1: to get some arras. So he said, you know, Bivona
Speaker 1: did say eight pm, and once again grasped the Bivona
Speaker 1: married on Sunday. We were there am no no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, he said at eight pm when the show.
Speaker 1: When Gametime Decisions ended at seven, I said, I'm not
Speaker 1: waiting at eight pm, like, let's go, let's go. So
Speaker 1: we were all at the bar by seven thirty because
Speaker 1: I refused to sit here anymore and answer more people's questions.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be at the bar drinking yes
Speaker 1: and shout out to Alex. He bought us all shots
Speaker 1: at night. I did try it was the shots. Tried
Speaker 1: to go half seas with him, true story. I did
Speaker 1: try to go half seas with him. I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: I don't want you to pay for all this. I'll
Speaker 1: go half. He's with you. I didn't. I didn't, Alex.
Speaker 1: You I do recall you said tequila is your favorite.
Speaker 1: It is. I was possible. And the part that Frank
Speaker 1: left out of that story was, uh, Frank and Dame
Speaker 1: specifically said it's on his car, as in me, he's
Speaker 1: paying for it, as in me like what, No, you're
Speaker 1: the head Han show. You can you can expense this.
Speaker 1: But maybe it could have made a call and to
Speaker 1: try to get it expensed. But I did not. All
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's shots in my hand. Alex, how
Speaker 1: many shots did you did you buy? If I recall,
Speaker 1: because honestly I did end that night a little little stumbly,
Speaker 1: I do recall about eight or nine tequila shot. It
Speaker 1: was eight to ten. It was in the range. We
Speaker 1: have to get one for Gabe actually, because we gotta
Speaker 1: that was a mistake. Ended up getting about like seven
Speaker 1: or eight shots. And then Gabe stumbles overgoes, oh, there's
Speaker 1: no shot for me. I get it and I go, no,
Speaker 1: there is, Yeah, there is, there is. Gabe will get
Speaker 1: you one if you don't want me, ask you how
Speaker 1: much is that cost? You? What? The bartender? Because of course,
Speaker 1: remember I was there an hour and a half early,
Speaker 1: watched the game, so I took care of the bartender earlier,
Speaker 1: as I always do when I go to the bar.
Speaker 1: He ended up only charging me for about like five shots.
Speaker 1: It was great for like, what, you're a hero, your hero, Hey,
Speaker 1: i'mna here. You guys need deserve but not the one
Speaker 1: you need right now. I was trying to think of
Speaker 1: the saying you got it, you gotta speaking of that.
Speaker 1: By the way, I found out this morning and Frank
Speaker 1: found out last night. Robert Pattinson the new Batman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, who's making these decisions? Very strange, not great,
Speaker 1: This is not, this is not. I went through Robert
Speaker 1: Pattinson's IMDb what is he? Dahnson's Twilight. I have not
Speaker 1: seen a single Robert Pattinson movie in my life. I haven't.
Speaker 1: I watched like half of one of the times. Sorry
Speaker 1: he was in one of the Harry Potter's and Cedric Diggory.
Speaker 1: I saw that, But I need not see Robert Pattinson's
Speaker 1: starring vehicle in my life. What has he done to
Speaker 1: deserve being Batman? Like, I mean, come on, I don't
Speaker 1: want to crap on the guy like whatever, but like,
Speaker 1: we couldn't find someone better than this to bed? What
Speaker 1: don't we Why don't we make John Snow Batman? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that could be cool. Rob Stark'll make one of those
Speaker 1: guys Batman? Really, Robert Pattinson, I think I had another
Speaker 1: question for Alice. I don't remember who it was. Oh,
Speaker 1: I remember you were supposed to walk her intern home
Speaker 1: that night? Did you? Did you succeed? Yes? Of course,
Speaker 1: Natalie was very nice. We walked over to Grand Central,
Speaker 1: she got on her train, and I went back to
Speaker 1: Penn Station. God on mine. Just making sure you guys
Speaker 1: didn't get on the same train. Gentlemen, of course, you
Speaker 1: know you're kidding me. Keepsie. What Alex won't do for
Speaker 1: love is go to the Keepsie that you just that
Speaker 1: one's off the list. I'm not going there, you know what.
Speaker 1: Keepsie a way too far and have train right guys? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I know, man, and you did. You were willing to
Speaker 1: walk all over the Grand CenTra to come back to
Speaker 1: Penstation though you're willing to know that? Do that well again,
Speaker 1: Bvona picked a very good bar. It was only about
Speaker 1: a couple of blocks away from the studio. It was.
Speaker 1: It was only about a twenty total block walk, and
Speaker 1: how it sex walking. I told the story before. Frank
Speaker 1: you like, he's a big walker. I'll tell you the story.
Speaker 1: So I promise we're gonna back to the Prospects after
Speaker 1: the break. I mean, we're doing with Prospects, That's what
Speaker 1: I meant. I promise I'll do that. But I was
Speaker 1: walking to work one morning. My headphone's in. It's about
Speaker 1: seven forty five ish or so, maybe a little bit earlier,
Speaker 1: and I walk past grand I walked past Port Authority
Speaker 1: on forty two Streets all my way here, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I have my headphones and I'm looking
Speaker 1: up and I swear I see Alex walking past me.
Speaker 1: Like I swear it. But I'm like, all right, it's
Speaker 1: not because he comes into Penn Station, which is directly
Speaker 1: across streetreet from us. So there's a reason for him
Speaker 1: to be at forty second Street at seven five in
Speaker 1: the morning when he's supposed to be here by eight o'clock.
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense. So I get to work
Speaker 1: before he does. Find no big deal. He walks and
Speaker 1: we're in the same sweatshirt with dugging donuts. I believe.
Speaker 1: I'm like, did I just see you walking back a
Speaker 1: Port authority? He's like, yeah, I do that every morning.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, so you get in at Penn Station
Speaker 1: at like seven thirty. Who, I don't know where you walk?
Speaker 1: You walk past Port Authority right, walk to my apartment
Speaker 1: for all I know, and then you come back. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like to walk, so Alex, the question remains, where
Speaker 1: do you walk to? Where do you walk to? It's
Speaker 1: just I get off, I get off and up from
Speaker 1: Penn Station. So I just take eighth to about thirty
Speaker 1: nine because that's where the Duncans is. Thirty eight. I
Speaker 1: believe it's definitely a closer Duncan dunking on thirty five
Speaker 1: between Broadway and Seventh, so I would have to go
Speaker 1: all the way down street. Anyway. The point is, I
Speaker 1: like just walking into ten mile a ten mile, ten
Speaker 1: block walk up to thirty nine back to It takes
Speaker 1: me about ten fifteen minutes, get my coffee, get my doughnut,
Speaker 1: walk right in. I'm happy. As a claim. He's always
Speaker 1: thrilled he gets here. Admittedly, so it looks somebody he
Speaker 1: likes to walk. He likes to get his legs underneath
Speaker 1: more healthy healthy. Well, then I then I go home
Speaker 1: and I sit in my driveway and shoot hoops for
Speaker 1: about an hour. I didn't know that, especially now that
Speaker 1: it's getting warmer out basketball hoop and so when are
Speaker 1: we getting the invite? When are we getting the invite
Speaker 1: to the Facano residence. Frankie, you can attest to this.
Speaker 1: I've been saying this for months now. When is the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Pit League Fan Flag football basketball tournament at Central Park?
Speaker 1: When is it happening? It's gonna get nicer at any day. Well,
Speaker 1: Greg's not going to allow a sporting event unless it's
Speaker 1: something that he's good at. So we're probably gonna d
Speaker 1: up playing like kickball or spike ball or something like that.
Speaker 1: Alex is in. I'm as active as they come. So
Speaker 1: we were there, Brian's nodding his head right next to me.
Speaker 1: We're all there. So you have a hoop in your
Speaker 1: garage area because you're a pretty good player. I'd imagine
Speaker 1: practice makes perfect in five seven, you know, a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty pounds, it's you know, I can get the
Speaker 1: ball in. Who I wish I was funding with the pounds? Not?
Speaker 1: I mean, you're also a little bit taller than Alex too.
Speaker 1: So I bought a cowboy hat last night. Did you
Speaker 1: see it? Did see? Not a cowboys hat, a cowboy hate?
Speaker 1: Do you approve that? I thought it was like very
Speaker 1: Chris patticky. So I saw it. I was like, you
Speaker 1: know what Royal Day coming up, fourth of July. It's
Speaker 1: like I've always wanted a cowboy hat. This is an
Speaker 1: American cowboy hat. I gotta get it. I liked it.
Speaker 1: I gotta get it. Was great. Yeah, so I just
Speaker 1: got a someone of course. I mean I was expecting
Speaker 1: people to like photoshop me. So this is what I
Speaker 1: just got. Now it's a it's it's meat photoshop with
Speaker 1: like a mullet and yeah, let's here we go. Let
Speaker 1: me see this. It looks great. Really like you've had
Speaker 1: a mustache before. I have a mustache right now, be here,
Speaker 1: right now. You could grow out your hair. That could
Speaker 1: be you. I could like, dad like legit to you,
Speaker 1: not zero photoshop. Hey, you know I'd like to grow
Speaker 1: on my hair too. Going to get a haircut, tod.
Speaker 1: I haven't figure out what I'm gonna do, I would say,

Speaker 1: are back here on the Fantasy Best Friends Forever Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. A fad you loose So Friday, I'm
Speaker 1: talking about how we're gonna spend our fad. We talked
Speaker 1: about our one with Mike about how much is spending
Speaker 1: on the prospects. Now we should talk about some of
Speaker 1: the veterans that are out there that can help your
Speaker 1: fantasy teams. And they begin with a name that we've
Speaker 1: brought up the last couple of weeks and I mentioned
Speaker 1: him very quickly, early wrong, and that's Tommy Lastella, who
Speaker 1: continues to be out there in uh many many leagues
Speaker 1: which people don't believe in him, and understandably so. Like Lostella,
Speaker 1: he's a guy's been around a very very long time.
Speaker 1: He is, I mean he's three years old, right, But
Speaker 1: this year he's been better than ever and I think
Speaker 1: a lot of that is certainly attributed to batting directly
Speaker 1: in front of Mike Trout, but real one batting average,
Speaker 1: eleven homers, twenty five vs. Twenty four runs scored. Uh
Speaker 1: he has just been fantastic over really the last month
Speaker 1: or so. In the month of May, he's batting four
Speaker 1: oh five with four of those homers. Um, he's been great.
Speaker 1: I always talk about picking up a guy that's hot hot, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what he is. Greg, And I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people are skeptical of this because they say, oh, well,
Speaker 1: you know, he only had nine or ten home runs.
Speaker 1: It's very simple. People are skeptical because you just leave
Speaker 1: it right there. That's his name. But Lastella artois Man,
Speaker 1: we talked about this guy the other day. Put some
Speaker 1: respect on his name. He's striking out six percent at
Speaker 1: the time. He is doing things differently this year. I mean,
Speaker 1: you never had a hard hit rate higher than thirty
Speaker 1: two percent in his career. This year he's at forty
Speaker 1: four percent. It's really good. That's up there with, you know,
Speaker 1: some of the best in the league. So he's hitting
Speaker 1: the ball harder percent of the time. He's making a
Speaker 1: ton of contact. This is a guy that's never really
Speaker 1: struggled with strikeouts in his career, never had higher than
Speaker 1: a sixteen percent strikeout rate at any level. This year
Speaker 1: he's at six percent. He's got a nine point eight
Speaker 1: percent walk rate. So solid plate discipline as well. THO
Speaker 1: one batting average three o b P. I understand twenty
Speaker 1: eight percent home run the fly ball ratio. That's not
Speaker 1: gonna last. But he is hitting the ball harder. He's
Speaker 1: doing things differently. So you know, if if he was
Speaker 1: Tommy Lostella, the five year old who was a prospect
Speaker 1: that we wrote off. But now he's breaking out, and
Speaker 1: he's hitting the ball harder, and he's striping out only
Speaker 1: six percent of the time. This guy would go for
Speaker 1: a ton of fab but the fact that he's Tommy Lostella,
Speaker 1: journeyman who's thirty years old that nobody really knows about,
Speaker 1: and frankly, they don't respect. He's not being added and
Speaker 1: he should. I mean, at least in the short term.
Speaker 1: Adam now while he's hot, and who knows, maybe it
Speaker 1: turns out you end up with the middle infielder who
Speaker 1: hit close to home runs this year. I mean, crazier
Speaker 1: things have happened. The guy is doing things differently and
Speaker 1: and it's paying off for him. So I think it's
Speaker 1: time we put some respect on Tommy Lostella's name. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna like break the bank or anything, but
Speaker 1: as we talked about, everyone's so riled up about these
Speaker 1: prospects that they're probably gonna forget about some of these
Speaker 1: veterans that are available five six, I mean, maybe even
Speaker 1: lower than that. But would you rather have the middle
Speaker 1: infielder if you need pop out there, you got to
Speaker 1: choose one. Who would you rather have Season Hernandez or
Speaker 1: Tommy Lastell? What format? Pick a format. It's not like
Speaker 1: an actual question, just asking because it's a second basement
Speaker 1: that's like kind of similar. Yeah, I still like Seesar
Speaker 1: her Nandez. He does a lot of good things. He
Speaker 1: makes a lot of contact as well. Um, and he
Speaker 1: steals bases and and he's got good plate discipline as well. Um.
Speaker 1: I like Season her nand Is a little bit more.
Speaker 1: But it is a close question. He made me think
Speaker 1: about it, and Season Hernandez is someone that was actually
Speaker 1: being drafted as a middle infield or maybe even the
Speaker 1: starting second basement for some people out there. So the
Speaker 1: fact that I had to think about it should tell
Speaker 1: you how I feel about Tommy Lostella. He's he's escalated
Speaker 1: his game to that far. That's close, But I would
Speaker 1: take Season Hernandez all right. With Mitch Garver going on
Speaker 1: the I l that could open a spot of a
Speaker 1: spot for Jason Castro. How much will the playtime differentiate
Speaker 1: between will be split rather for Jason Castro and Williams Estudio.
Speaker 1: I still think Jason Castro is their main catcher who
Speaker 1: in a six game week, probably plays four games out
Speaker 1: of six studio. They can play him a few games
Speaker 1: behind the plate. They can move him around. He can
Speaker 1: play third base, he could play second. He's played the
Speaker 1: outfield before as well, so d H and now two
Speaker 1: Nelson Cruiser's lands on the I L. So that opens
Speaker 1: up a spot, probably more so for like mcguilson. No,
Speaker 1: but overall, Jason Cashro was doing some nice things too.
Speaker 1: And I've brought him up to you last week, Greg,
Speaker 1: if you need a second catcher, if you lost, if
Speaker 1: you lost Mitch Garver, Jason Cashro is hot right now.
Speaker 1: So he's got a couple of home runs over the
Speaker 1: past week. UM in a one catcher league, I'm not
Speaker 1: running out there and getting him. But if you talk
Speaker 1: a lot about these rotal leagues, he's been in twelve
Speaker 1: team rotal leagues, fifteen team rotal leagues, you need to
Speaker 1: start two catchers. This guy has seven home runs already
Speaker 1: this season. He's got a fifty percent hard hit rate.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know what's going on in Minnesota, Greg,
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're feeding these guys. I don't
Speaker 1: know what's in the water. But a fifty percent hard
Speaker 1: hit rate for Jason Cashro this year, and he's got
Speaker 1: a forty five percent fly ball right. He's never been
Speaker 1: hiding thirty eight percent. So this is what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Some more to the Tommy Lostella. Like Jason Cashro has
Speaker 1: been around the block, he's been around a while, he's
Speaker 1: thirty one years old, whatever, journeyman catcher. What he's doing
Speaker 1: things differently. He's hitting the ball in the air, He's
Speaker 1: hitting the ball extremely hard. He's got seven home runs
Speaker 1: already on the year. I think you can do worse
Speaker 1: as your second catcher. Would you rather take a shot
Speaker 1: of Jason Casher or I would take Jason Castro just
Speaker 1: because I think that the lineup is better and there's
Speaker 1: probably a little bit more power potential. Like Don Lucroi
Speaker 1: is playing, he's doing it right as well. That's why
Speaker 1: I wanted to list him here. But these are some
Speaker 1: you know, if you're playing two catcher leagues and you're
Speaker 1: just trying to find someone right now, if you had
Speaker 1: the mids Garver on your team, h John and Lucroix
Speaker 1: bouncing back a little bit this year, it's uh, it's
Speaker 1: been a rough go for for Jonathan lucroid The past
Speaker 1: couple of years. But he's already got six home runs
Speaker 1: this year that exceeds his total from last year. He
Speaker 1: only had four in a hundred and twenty six games.
Speaker 1: Last year he had six in all of seventeen. I
Speaker 1: mean that was the year that he really really let
Speaker 1: us down again. He's already got six home runs this
Speaker 1: year and only thirty five games, So it seems like
Speaker 1: he's getting back closer to the Jonathan luc Roix of
Speaker 1: your past. I don't think that he's ever going to
Speaker 1: be that player again, but he's hitting two six nine,
Speaker 1: six home runs, nineteen runs, nineteen rbi is the counting
Speaker 1: stats are decent. I would take Jason castro over him
Speaker 1: by a little bit. But these are a few of
Speaker 1: the uh, those second catchers that you could pick up
Speaker 1: in deeper leagues if they're available. Greg John Lucroy and
Speaker 1: Jason Casher both are out there pretty much everywhere, so
Speaker 1: you can need him go out and get them. Fabulous.
Speaker 1: So Friday continues, Frankie, as we look towards deep leagues,
Speaker 1: and the last thing that we mentioned earlier this week
Speaker 1: that's definitely out there in leagues. He's letting miss Diaz
Speaker 1: with jose L two on the I l he's playing
Speaker 1: that he should line up and he's continuing to hit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he has multi position eligibility as well. He's played
Speaker 1: a few games at first base, he is second, he
Speaker 1: has short stop. I think he might have third base
Speaker 1: eligibility as well. Pull that up on Yahoo and see
Speaker 1: what we got. But he's performing extremely well. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: got first, second, third, and shortstop eligibility on Yahoo. And
Speaker 1: I know he has a multiple multi position eligibility on
Speaker 1: CBS as well. You've got five home runs and twenty
Speaker 1: one r B I s as a part time player,
Speaker 1: he's gonna played twenty five games. He only has eighties
Speaker 1: seven played appearances this year. He's sitting to fifties six.
Speaker 1: But he hits in a really really good line up
Speaker 1: right now. I mean the Houston Astrolls are putting up
Speaker 1: video game numbers. These guys have been awesome. He's hot
Speaker 1: right now. He's gonna play every single day while Josel
Speaker 1: Tuva is on the injured list. So this is probably
Speaker 1: more of a deeper league ad if you're playing fifteen teamers.
Speaker 1: I did pick him up in one of my twelve
Speaker 1: team leagues where I need a middle infielder, uh, and
Speaker 1: he's been great this week. He has two whole run
Speaker 1: ones already this week as well. Even if it's just
Speaker 1: a handcuff situation, if you're a hotel tuba owner and
Speaker 1: you need a little bit of pop, some wanna get
Speaker 1: in your lineup, in a really good lineup with the
Speaker 1: with the astros here and I do like it. Let
Speaker 1: ms D s Greg and I talked about him on
Speaker 1: Monday too. You did, D is certainly hot. Oh without
Speaker 1: in there? Okay, fifteen team leagues, so the name is
Speaker 1: what we talked about earlier this week. Laugh, but it's true,
Speaker 1: Sean Anderson, I need to talk about in our number one.
Speaker 1: You want to hear that analysis, hand them back to
Speaker 1: our number one and then oh god right, I mean yeah, Look,
Speaker 1: it's fifteen teamers either some gross names. I guess would
Speaker 1: you drop Jason Heyward for Horondo Para Probably not, I
Speaker 1: mean ideally to try and get one of those prospects.
Speaker 1: But Herondo Park is playing right now for the Washington
Speaker 1: Nationals because, uh, they've dealt with a lot of injuries
Speaker 1: and he's been playing first base for them recently. He's
Speaker 1: started let's see here, five of their last six games,
Speaker 1: going off with three for three game yesterday, he had
Speaker 1: another home run against the New York Mets. So he's playing.
Speaker 1: He's got three home runs, he's got three stolen bases,
Speaker 1: he had a Grand Slam, a pinchon Grand Slam last
Speaker 1: weekend against the Los Angeles Dodgers. So, but these are
Speaker 1: just really deep, just like National League, only this is
Speaker 1: fifteen team, or you're really desperate. He's about to get
Speaker 1: first base eligibility. It seems like he's gonna play for
Speaker 1: now as long as Ryan Zimmerman and Matt Adams are hurt.
Speaker 1: But Trey Turner could be back as soon as today,
Speaker 1: so we'll see how that affects things. Greg Hens is
Speaker 1: going to be placed on the il Greggy, does this
Speaker 1: open up a spot in the rotation now for raw Stripling?
Speaker 1: Always looking at ross stripling, either this morning or last night.
Speaker 1: Stripling isn't pitch in ten days more, actually, and I'm
Speaker 1: trying to figure out why. I don't know. If he
Speaker 1: was stretching out, I don't know, if he was doing bullpens,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't believe he's pitchings FIA. That's
Speaker 1: twelve days that's a long time. It is a long time.
Speaker 1: We know what his upside is. When he's right, I'm
Speaker 1: absolutely the next man up. I would have certainly with
Speaker 1: what's going on with Juli yours, he's been place on
Speaker 1: what the exemplist or whatever, something like that, administrative leave
Speaker 1: or whatever. Sure's gotta be the next guy up. I
Speaker 1: would think. I don't know how stretched out he is
Speaker 1: to get the start. I don't know how long my
Speaker 1: head is on the I L four, but I think
Speaker 1: if it's anything long term, Stripling will certainly be the guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's why I wanted to bring it up. Look,
Speaker 1: we know how good Rass Strippling has been when he
Speaker 1: was in the rotation. I picked this guy up in
Speaker 1: a few leagues last year and he was awesome for
Speaker 1: us when he was in the rotation. He wasn't as
Speaker 1: good as I think we hoped he would be early
Speaker 1: on this season, but the overall number slip pretty good.
Speaker 1: R A three five six x fit almost a strikeout
Speaker 1: per ending and last year thirty three games one game started,
Speaker 1: so twelve relief appearances in a three O two e
Speaker 1: r A with a two point nine nine X fits.
Speaker 1: So if you're needing of pitching. If you're a Kenta
Speaker 1: Maata owner, I think that's that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: I'm not dropping Kento Maada. I'm gonna place him on
Speaker 1: my i L. But if I ask someone else, I
Speaker 1: would speculate that Ras Stripping is probably the next man
Speaker 1: up in the rotation. Ross Stripling, how much do you
Speaker 1: spend it he's out there? Not much, just because I
Speaker 1: worry about longevity of the situation here. Is it just
Speaker 1: gonna be does the only fill in for Kenta Maata
Speaker 1: or you know? I mean, it seems like there's always
Speaker 1: someone getting hurt in the Dodger's rotation. Things can work themselves.
Speaker 1: I'm probably in like or to five on Ross as
Speaker 1: Stripling if he's available. Greg in deeper leagues, Okay, so
Speaker 1: this is interesting? Just what you see? Nothing interesting? Nothing interesting?
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting. So that means I won't like it. No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not finding what I'm looking for. Nelson Cruz placed
Speaker 1: on the Tende i L. That's retroactive to May fourteenth,
Speaker 1: so it could be back a little bit earlier than expected.
Speaker 1: Swinker not in the lineup today, Greg, that's fortunate. Does
Speaker 1: that contribute to you wanting to drop him a little
Speaker 1: hate drop. No. I still like Jesse Winker. He's my guy,
Speaker 1: him too. What do you have? Well, what did you
Speaker 1: read the whole lot? At for the Reds, we have
Speaker 1: Nick Senzel leading off, going up against Rich Hill. So
Speaker 1: that's probably why Jesse Winker isn't isn't in the line
Speaker 1: of today. Lefty on Lefty, But Joey Vato betting second,
Speaker 1: A you handing out Suarez batting third, Yai fourth, Jose Iglesias,
Speaker 1: this guy batting fifth for the Cincinnati Reds, Kyle Farmer,
Speaker 1: Kurt Casally, Jose Prazza and batting nine. Pitching for the
Speaker 1: Reds is Anthony Dates Clefani. It's Clefani. That is your
Speaker 1: red lineup for tonight. That's the only lineup that's currently out.
Speaker 1: I believe correct. You have no day baseball today right there.
Speaker 1: Though the Cups were playing a home game, then it
Speaker 1: would be in early game. They always play Friday May
Speaker 1: Mate whenever their home they do, indeed, but not tonight.
Speaker 1: They're going up against mex Serz. Who did you Dodgers
Speaker 1: you have in your line up? I can tell you that.
Speaker 1: Do you guess? And I'll tell you is one of
Speaker 1: them on one of them on you can guess and
Speaker 1: I can lie to you, is one of them on
Speaker 1: your main event team? No, okay, I anger on my tone.
Speaker 1: The truth mine is well, you have to break the
Speaker 1: bank to get him in your lineup, Greggy, but I
Speaker 1: did so. It means the rest of your players suck.
Speaker 1: Usually that's how it works. Else you pick up this week,
Speaker 1: Frank that I missed. No, I think we we covered
Speaker 1: um all the bases, really, a lot of the prospects,
Speaker 1: Tommy Lostella, if he's out there, Jason Castro, Lucroix, Lead
Speaker 1: Ms Diaz, Miguel soon. No, I'll bring him up once again.
Speaker 1: Look at what's his ownership percentage is right now? He
Speaker 1: returned last night, he had two doubles and an RB.
Speaker 1: I uh, he's thirty two on on Yahoo. That should
Speaker 1: probably be a little bit higher. As I've mentioned before,
Speaker 1: I've always been a an advocate of mcgilson. Know, he's
Speaker 1: just he's one of my guys I always fall for,
Speaker 1: you know, the power upside that he possesses. I know
Speaker 1: he strikes out a lot, but if you look at
Speaker 1: his hard hit rate, I mean he's been hitting the
Speaker 1: ball hard since like even before hard hit rate was
Speaker 1: a thing. I mean, this guy is a static cast
Speaker 1: darling when it turns to how hard he hits the ball.
Speaker 1: So since he's coming to the league in what was
Speaker 1: four ten, Greg he has the fourth highest hard hit
Speaker 1: rate overall. He's you know, he's around names like Mike
Speaker 1: Trout and Paul Golchman and j D. Martinez, so he mashes.
Speaker 1: He's he's a bit of a head case at times.
Speaker 1: He gets into trouble on and off the field. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's always had issues with like conditioning, but I think
Speaker 1: that the power potential is is legitimate when it comes
Speaker 1: to mcgilson. No batting average could struggle at times because
Speaker 1: he strikes out. But the way that this lineup is playing,
Speaker 1: don't you just want as much exposure to the Minnesota
Speaker 1: Twins as you could possibly get? Right now? You know what,
Speaker 1: I'll bring up someone that we've actually dropped and we
Speaker 1: I think we kind of flogged this one up, marwinian
Speaker 1: Zalez over the past couple of weeks. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: playing really well, man, so he's getting in the lineup.
Speaker 1: He's gonna get in the line up even more now
Speaker 1: that Nelson Cruz is out there. They're probably gonna put
Speaker 1: Migulson know at d H most of the time, and
Speaker 1: they'll have Marwi Gonzalas playing third base. Those deeper league
Speaker 1: plays that are we Gonzalez if he was dropped in
Speaker 1: your league, I would go out there and try and
Speaker 1: pick him up. Let's see what he's done over the
Speaker 1: past fifteen days, great past two weeks. Basically he's hitting
Speaker 1: three sixty two or fifty five o b P five
Speaker 1: thirty two slug o p s with two home runs
Speaker 1: and six ribbies and and ten runs scored. So are
Speaker 1: Wen Zallas flipping that switch he's getting basically whenever we
Speaker 1: drop somebody's just basically in the month of Mayo role
Speaker 1: he's hitting three thirty three. So so we made him
Speaker 1: inde an error. He's still out there. If we want
Speaker 1: to pick him back up. We always hate that, don't
Speaker 1: you Greg very much want to get him back on
Speaker 1: your team. Sucks. That's why everyone I was really annoy
Speaker 1: about the Zaff thing. What do you think do you do?
Speaker 1: You just want as much exposure to this line up
Speaker 1: as possible right now? Right now? I deal, they're not
Speaker 1: rushing to pick pick up Marwanzas again, I'm not there.
Speaker 1: Let's see where they rank in terms of run scored
Speaker 1: this year. Their fifth overall in baseball, really a good
Speaker 1: in terms of OPS, second in baseball seven ops as
Speaker 1: a team for the Minnesota Twins, second behind only one team.
Speaker 1: That was a team that I referenced just earlier, the
Speaker 1: Houston Astros putting up video game numbers right now, Greggy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they then ridiculous with um with George Springer here leading
Speaker 1: the way, the Mariners are still first and run scored,
Speaker 1: but like everyone is caught up to them. Of course
Speaker 1: there and the Houston Astros are five who were to
Speaker 1: funk it to forty runs scored. The Astros now have
Speaker 1: the best record in base all not surprising. They are
Speaker 1: a half game up on the Los Angeles Dodgers. One.
Speaker 1: I don't know what else you want to do here
Speaker 1: for the rest of the show. What about it and
Speaker 1: we come back. I want to do the two star
Speaker 1: pitchers makes sense when we'll talk about I guess the
Speaker 1: rest of the prospects that you could stash, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've talked about like Caro Alvare last night home ridiculous,
Speaker 1: But how about this, He's been playing first bass recently
Speaker 1: as well. So I think kind of similar to Austin Riley,
Speaker 1: the Astros know what they're dealing with. They know what
Speaker 1: they have on their hands with your Don Alvarez, and
Speaker 1: he's now playing first base as well. They're trying to
Speaker 1: find a way to get this guy in their lineup
Speaker 1: because he's just absolutely mashing. He is the hottest player
Speaker 1: in the minors by far. It's not even close. Four
Speaker 1: ten batting average, four ninety seven ov P. He's got
Speaker 1: a fourps. This is absolutely ridiculous. Seventeen home runs, he's
Speaker 1: got fifty three RBI. It's great. He's got fifty three
Speaker 1: RBIs in thirty games. Are you serious. Here's how its
Speaker 1: fielding breaks down so far this season. He's got sixteen
Speaker 1: games in left field, he's got one game, and right
Speaker 1: he's got eight games at first base. So I know,
Speaker 1: Julie Guriel, you've been around a little bit. Tyler White,
Speaker 1: you've been around a little bit. Gosh Reddy play right field.
Speaker 1: Your Don Alvarez and Kyle Tucker coming soon to a
Speaker 1: fantasy team near you when we come back. You know,
Speaker 1: the two star pitchers four next week. We'll take some
Speaker 1: of your question, of course, as well, then as you
Speaker 1: have fs wrap up the week next. Maid Sailors is

Speaker 1: at that and think out of it. All the cheese,
Speaker 1: every pore. I be LOUSI on it. Yeah, man, how
Speaker 1: great does that look? Doesn't do it for me? Man, Greg,
Speaker 1: you would have loved it. I'm telling I don't like
Speaker 1: fun do I never? I never had it before that
Speaker 1: either anyway? Actually got that going on? Um? And then
Speaker 1: they're do a barbecue on Sunday eighty degrees on Monday.
Speaker 1: How about that? I wish Monday was Memorial that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would have been sick. Mory. Just get off like
Speaker 1: two Mondays in a row. I don't know. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna want to take a day off. You take a
Speaker 1: day off, man, I might have to. Well you let
Speaker 1: me he leally know the sooner around later. He'd be great. Now,
Speaker 1: I can't miss a Modeca Monday. Come on now, um,
Speaker 1: two Star Pictures four next week. Obviously, we'll talk about
Speaker 1: it with Matt who you're gonna not a great crop
Speaker 1: you're gonna start and whatnot. Let's go to old reliable
Speaker 1: Jeff so Marja baby Shark basically Lanta Amazon Shark. Do
Speaker 1: do do do? Yeah? I don't know, man, I know
Speaker 1: there's two starts here that are in Oracle Park, San Francisco.
Speaker 1: But and Jeff some marge on the reason. I was
Speaker 1: really thinking about picking him up because the two stars
Speaker 1: are home, but Atlanta Arizona. Not like super scared of
Speaker 1: those lineups, but I am super scared of Jeff some
Speaker 1: margins just blowing up on my team. So this is
Speaker 1: a really bad week for two star pitchers. Greg Um
Speaker 1: about on Jeff some margin, How hard was that for
Speaker 1: you to say it? Hard? Maybe like in a fifteen
Speaker 1: team or if you're des pretty like you're just trying
Speaker 1: to like get two starts. He's probably the best one available.
Speaker 1: But outside of that, here's my favorite. I've been trying.
Speaker 1: I've been Harvard on this one for a while. My
Speaker 1: man would be Danny Norris, Dan Norris, Danny so CBS
Speaker 1: has him as Miami and Miami, but that is not
Speaker 1: the case. Um. I don't think that he faces the
Speaker 1: same team in back to back series unless there's something
Speaker 1: I'm missing. What I've seen is that they're facing Miami
Speaker 1: and the New York Mets. But either way, two pretty
Speaker 1: good starts here, Greg, and I interest you in Daniel
Speaker 1: Norris Miami and the Mets. Yes, I'm interested. I'm always
Speaker 1: interested in Norris. You know that well, I mean not
Speaker 1: legitimately like Daniel Narris actually owned him in the Great
Speaker 1: Fantasy based Momutation, because that's how how injured and bad
Speaker 1: my pitching staff has been. Daniors is a good manage
Speaker 1: a good player. Pictures today? Yes, are you gonna be
Speaker 1: awesome if he pitches today? How does he have a
Speaker 1: two star week? No idea? That doesn't make any sense? Right, Saturday, Sunday,
Speaker 1: Monday too? Could we do aheader? Right? Yeah? This is Wednesdays?
Speaker 1: How does it? This is wrong? CBS has him as
Speaker 1: a two doesn't have the Fantasy pros. This is what
Speaker 1: I used to look at like their probable pictures. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have a two star week. This is wrong. Let's
Speaker 1: see what they have. See what they have going on here?
Speaker 1: They have mm. Yeah, he's not gonna he's not a
Speaker 1: two star picture, but he has one start against Miami,
Speaker 1: so you could see let's do that the team that
Speaker 1: hasn't scored in nearly a week, or you can still
Speaker 1: you can still use Daniel Norris. Danny Norris, uh, Felix
Speaker 1: Paena gives Minnesota and Texas frank So, Phelix Paenia has
Speaker 1: pitch better recently, and he's grabbed my attention, But I
Speaker 1: just really don't like those matchups. Twins and the Rangers.
Speaker 1: The Twins second against right handed pitching in terms of wOBA.
Speaker 1: They have a three forty seven wOBA as a team
Speaker 1: against right handed pitching. That's second in all of baseball,
Speaker 1: while the Texas Rangers are six with a three forty
Speaker 1: one wOBA against right handed pitching. So, Felix Pain, you're
Speaker 1: pitching better, but you not two really tough matchups. I
Speaker 1: don't think I want to risk that. One great, what
Speaker 1: do you think, Felix Pin pitching better, but two tough matchups? Here?
Speaker 1: You're out? Are you in? I don't even white with
Speaker 1: Andrew Casher on this list. I own him chasing the
Speaker 1: Yank's inn in Colorado. You're kidding me? Quality start against
Speaker 1: the Yankees, though, So you start he's in Colorado, now
Speaker 1: you're not. But I mean he's pitching. Well, no, Greag,
Speaker 1: come on, you're gonna start him against the Yankees in
Speaker 1: Colorado and an all only league. I'll do it. Well,
Speaker 1: it can't. How does that work in early play? As
Speaker 1: if you own one team doesn't matter. What's really interesting
Speaker 1: is if you play in al or in the only league.
Speaker 1: When someone changes leagues, Now that the bidding is crazy,
Speaker 1: it's basically you just drop all your fab on one
Speaker 1: of these players. But yeah, I mean, look at Andrew Kashner.
Speaker 1: Look at this guy. Man. More of his last five
Speaker 1: starts re earn runs or less Reva's last four stars.
Speaker 1: Remember we have the way back machine, dude, fade back
Speaker 1: to yesterday where I was like, Frank, you love these
Speaker 1: old bad veteran pitchers. It's like, not not all the
Speaker 1: woman I named Homer Bailey, He's like, all right? And
Speaker 1: name Jordan'sers all right? And named Danny Duffy's all right.
Speaker 1: And now we're talking about Andrew Kashner. I had him
Speaker 1: in my line up the other day for his quality
Speaker 1: starting I guess the Yankees. So I wish now after
Speaker 1: after winding, I wish we could fast forward to Sunday
Speaker 1: night when we're gonna start bidding on players, and Frank suggests,
Speaker 1: Andrew Cashinger to me, No, I'm not gonna suggest, but
Speaker 1: how about this. He's got a fifty one percent groundball
Speaker 1: right this year, Greg from last year. What are we doing, man,
Speaker 1: We try to help, even it's it's up an entire model.
Speaker 1: All you're doing. He's the same thing you did with
Speaker 1: Jordan Zimmerman. You know that what he's doing things differently,
Speaker 1: the same thing you tell me about Jordan Zimmerman the
Speaker 1: velos up. He's doing things differently. And I'm like, at
Speaker 1: some point, you just remember who it is talking myself
Speaker 1: into this one. Here. I know who you are, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the one, just like I was with
Speaker 1: Jordan's Zimerman, just like it wasn't Danny Don't, just like
Speaker 1: I wasn't Homer Baddly talk you out of it. You
Speaker 1: gotta be able to go out on a limb here ground.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I'm not telling people, Oh, well, you
Speaker 1: should pick up I said Daniel Norris. I said, Danny Norris,
Speaker 1: you make sure to pick up Max Sures or if
Speaker 1: anyone dropped him in your league. I'm sorry that I'm
Speaker 1: going a little bit deeper here. You wouldn't go deep, Frank,
Speaker 1: you gonna talk about Felix Payne, You go right ahead.
Speaker 1: You're talking about Andrew Kashner has three quality starts in
Speaker 1: his last four starts. Numbers on line, Greg, they do sometimes,
Speaker 1: Yes they do. Ask John Gray about that. Yes they do. No. Well,
Speaker 1: that's that's the thing. That's where numbers are lying. The
Speaker 1: numbers are not lying. He's bad. That's what it comes
Speaker 1: down to. All right, Look, Greg, I'm not gonna pick
Speaker 1: up Andrew cash I can see Yankeeslarado. But here's what
Speaker 1: I will say. I think you'd stream him in the
Speaker 1: right matchups. I don't like his to start week against
Speaker 1: the Yankees in Colorado, but he pitches in the a least.
Speaker 1: You know who else is in the least Fernto, who's
Speaker 1: been terrible all stream Andrew cash Er against Toronto. Store
Speaker 1: it out there, and if he ever plays Miami, why
Speaker 1: don't you Why don't you go up at against jail?
Speaker 1: Tell tell everybody, hell great jis I already did go
Speaker 1: back watch two days ago. Don't want to do it again.
Speaker 1: You want to tell people to pick up We're gonna
Speaker 1: remind him that Gio's out there. Look Here's all I'll
Speaker 1: about Geo Gonzalez is that he's got a one six
Speaker 1: nine year. Right, Obviously we're not expecting that. But the
Speaker 1: swinging strike rate is up. Last year is nine and
Speaker 1: a half percent, this year ten point eight percent. You
Speaker 1: get a three nine eight x FIP. I'm just telling
Speaker 1: you this, Greg, there are there are pictures who are
Speaker 1: owned in deeper leagues who have a higher E r
Speaker 1: A and a higher x FIP than Geo Gonzalez has. Right,
Speaker 1: that's all I'll say. Stream him in the right match
Speaker 1: to deeper league. Ad Who did you face next week?
Speaker 1: I was one of the brought Gio yesterday. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: we started laughing about him. Oh, Gio Gonzalez faces Cincinnati
Speaker 1: next week? Is he st ter? Actually he's not. It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1: They have seven game plan chins. Do not is start
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati at home in Milwaukee. I'm intrigue now that
Speaker 1: this guy, and Andrew Kashner. That's fine. I can get
Speaker 1: behind that. You're in on that. If we really need pitching,
Speaker 1: we don't. We have teams that we really need pitchings pitching.
Speaker 1: I think our pitching a solid. We have Chris Bassett
Speaker 1: who's been crushing it. Him if he's available in your
Speaker 1: twelve team leag Chris Bassett, because I'd imagine a lot
Speaker 1: of people have already jumped on the Chris Bassett train.
Speaker 1: What are you six percent owned? He might be up
Speaker 1: there in some twelve steamers. We really, we really need
Speaker 1: to make a train in GST desperately. Yeah, our pitching
Speaker 1: is really good, are hitting not so much? Very bad?
Speaker 1: Maybe we just dropped the rest of our fab on
Speaker 1: one of these like hitting prospects and hope, hope that
Speaker 1: that's what turned it turned it around. Le I think
Speaker 1: we have thirty bucks, but there's zero dollar bidding in
Speaker 1: this league, so a little bit more Friday afternoon's easier,
Speaker 1: And we don't have to go through a biddingcause we
Speaker 1: spend all our money. Yeah, we don't have to feel
Speaker 1: that's always the best part, right, just get rid of all,
Speaker 1: like spend all your fab in the league. Well we'll
Speaker 1: just put in a bunch of bids, but we don't
Speaker 1: have to figure out how much money has spent. So
Speaker 1: it makes life a lot easier in our line up.
Speaker 1: Who's really bad side of everybody like Yonder Alonso, Like
Speaker 1: I've been talking about Yonder Alonzo all You're like, at
Speaker 1: some point you gotta turn it around, because like expected
Speaker 1: batting average only takes us so far. You're basically the
Speaker 1: John Gray of hitters. He's batting one eight dander alonzo
Speaker 1: and it's expected batting averages to forty nine. Like, at
Speaker 1: some point we got to close the gap here. I mean,
Speaker 1: we gotta increase. His one eighty batting average was awful.
Speaker 1: I never should leave not awful. I think he is.
Speaker 1: What is he doing? Nothing? Nothing? Give me his line?
Speaker 1: He has five homers rb I there's a lot of
Speaker 1: run scored twenty nine. That's good. Well that's what we're
Speaker 1: supposed to do. Its batting average to thirty nine with
Speaker 1: one stone these all right? Well it's really cold in
Speaker 1: the northeast. Man, oh man, I got some bad news
Speaker 1: on andrewa Cutching hard hit rate is down. He's very bad.
Speaker 1: You know what I was buying in because last year
Speaker 1: his hard hit rate was up to forty three pc.
Speaker 1: He was he was doing some nice things. One home runs,
Speaker 1: four teen stolen bases, you know, the run squarter again, Hey, Frank,
Speaker 1: we do not have a player on our team that
Speaker 1: has ten home runs, not one. It seems like an
Speaker 1: issue doesn't We're probably gonna have to spend the rest
Speaker 1: of our money out of Austin Riley. If you just
Speaker 1: want to spend thirty bucks on Austin Riley, Greg, we
Speaker 1: could probably just do that. You know. The pathetic thing
Speaker 1: with this is, Frank, what is that? If I may continue,
Speaker 1: We didn't have any injuries and listening either, did we
Speaker 1: We had Matt Olsen besides Madon. I mean, we were
Speaker 1: expecting Medalson to be our our power guy. Look, I'll
Speaker 1: say this, we have a lot of guys that have
Speaker 1: gotten off to slow starts. Justin Turners coming around a
Speaker 1: little bit. He got off to a slow start. Robinson
Speaker 1: Cano off to a slow start. He's coming around, Eduardo Escobar,
Speaker 1: we're reaping all the other awards we picked up. Rodney Rodriguez,
Speaker 1: that has been a lot of fun. Mike cal Franco
Speaker 1: has basically done the opposite. He got off to a
Speaker 1: fast start and now he's cooling off. So we might
Speaker 1: have to look into something there yonder Alonso not getting
Speaker 1: the job done. But we did have injuries. Grey, we
Speaker 1: lost Austin Meadows for a period of time, we lost
Speaker 1: Clint Frasier. We got those guys back now their ice cold,
Speaker 1: but but we were. We didn't draft him thinking they
Speaker 1: were gonna be like amazing. We didn't need draft Fraser
Speaker 1: picked him up. I think we'll be all right, man.
Speaker 1: I think some of these guys are going to turn
Speaker 1: it around. Like Matt Olsen is gonna is gonna help us.
Speaker 1: He's already got three home runs since he's returned, batting
Speaker 1: average is gonna get better for him. Robinson can know.
Speaker 1: I do believe that rob Hobson can know is gonna
Speaker 1: come around here under Pensash in the pan. We picked
Speaker 1: him up while he's hot. That's a great sussment through.
Speaker 1: We picked up a player while he's hot. Ronald du Cuno,
Speaker 1: you've been all right. I need him. We need him
Speaker 1: to be a little bit better than he's been. Need
Speaker 1: be a lot better. Yeah, probably, Andrew mccutcher, mccudn't need him.
Speaker 1: We're gonna even come around. He does lead our team
Speaker 1: and runs scored. Or Victor Robos. Victor Robos has done
Speaker 1: what we've expected. His home runs, eight stolen mass absolutely
Speaker 1: been good. He's been good. Down Alonso, we finally got
Speaker 1: him on the bench. We really need some power desperately.
Speaker 1: You know what, we we said our pitching was good
Speaker 1: kind of sucks. Zack Wheeler kind of sucks. Jack Flaherty,
Speaker 1: as much as we love them, kind of sucks. Greg Um,
Speaker 1: this team kind of sucks. I think that's what we're
Speaker 1: figuring out right. I tried to tell you that, but
Speaker 1: you know what, Like right after the auction, we felt
Speaker 1: so great about this team. I felt amazingly great about
Speaker 1: this seam mag We just had Christian Yellix that Aronald.
Speaker 1: I think that would help quite a bit. Greg. I
Speaker 1: think we we did have on our sheet Kunia or Yellots.
Speaker 1: We were gonna get one of those guys as our
Speaker 1: top hitter. We got the wrong guy, it seems that
Speaker 1: we did. But you know what, Greg, all these prospects
Speaker 1: are available, so I think we're gonna have to get
Speaker 1: at least one of these guys, all right. By bye,
Speaker 1: thirty dollars left a fab and it's crazy because it
Speaker 1: sevent on, we're gonna have no fab left. So I
Speaker 1: look at our other team that's in second place, and
Speaker 1: that hitting also awful, like awful. It's a lot better.
Speaker 1: Pitching is amazing, but we're first and most pitching categories.
Speaker 1: Thanks to you, by the way, you hated Luis Castid
Speaker 1: so badly. But I look at our hitting and we
Speaker 1: did lose Stanton, we lost more tap briefly, we lost Meadows.
Speaker 1: This hit, this hitting is you know, we've picked up
Speaker 1: veterans that are getting a job done. Greg Jinsu Chu
Speaker 1: getting a job done. Alex Gordon has been awesome this year. Frank,
Speaker 1: do you know there's only one player on our team
Speaker 1: that has ten home runs? On this team? Do you
Speaker 1: want know who it is? We haven't even put in
Speaker 1: our lack of correct on two teams we shared together.
Speaker 1: We have one player then has double digit home runs
Speaker 1: and it's I mean, but are there that many players
Speaker 1: that have double digit homers? Yes? There are. I'm sorry then,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. This is bad, Frank, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we're still in second place. We are. That makes
Speaker 1: me feel good. We are. There are quite a few players, Frank,
Speaker 1: have double digit home runs. There are nineteen of them.
Speaker 1: There are thirty six home runs and thirty six players
Speaker 1: that have double digit home runs. That's not sure. That's okay,
Speaker 1: it is true, but I don't think Flora already does
Speaker 1: there so a great weekend We'll see back here on Monday,
Speaker 1: we hope
