Speaker 1: interesting responses to the poll. We'll check in on that.
Speaker 1: If you want to holler at me you candidate four
Speaker 1: four eight four three six eight seven nine, come all
Speaker 1: right back. This is Dane Martinez, Speeds and Spitting Statistician
Speaker 1: with the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. You know what it is, your boy, Dame Martinez,
Speaker 1: bring you back live on the Fantasy Freestyle here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I got Chris Bovona, went
Speaker 1: me on the ones and two, dropping the beats so
Speaker 1: hot that we sweat steam and if Chris Bovona is
Speaker 1: in the building, you know it's a Friday. As we
Speaker 1: slide into happy hour on Sinko there mao here at
Speaker 1: Rock and Riley's Studio thirty four. Check it out. Though, Um, Chris,
Speaker 1: you know that people in Mexico don't actually care about
Speaker 1: Sinco de Mayo or celebrate Sinco de Mayo. I actually
Speaker 1: want to want to give a big shout out to
Speaker 1: my man uh guy who was on the show previously,
Speaker 1: Dan de fasci Um. He's known in Mexico as a
Speaker 1: gringo and he's opening up his second restaurant in Mexico City.
Speaker 1: If you're ever down there, go out and check out
Speaker 1: the Pinch Gringo. Um News and notes. Though, as we
Speaker 1: move along on the baseball calendar, Gary Sanchez returned from
Speaker 1: the d L for the New York Yankees today. Remember
Speaker 1: the Baby Bombers making a lot of noise with Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge leading the league and runs scored on the America
Speaker 1: the league. But he did go over four in his return.
Speaker 1: But it was good to see him back in the
Speaker 1: three spot. On the flip side, the Seattle Mariners are
Speaker 1: concerned they are sending James Paxton to the disabled list
Speaker 1: with a forearm injury. Blue Jays expect to have Josh
Speaker 1: Donaldson and Troy to Lwitsky returning for them on Monday
Speaker 1: after the weekend. Donaldson coming back from that calf that's
Speaker 1: been nagging, and Luwitsky with a tight hamstring unfortunately, though
Speaker 1: another hamstring could be a little bit longer. Yo Wanna Cespitis.
Speaker 1: They're saying it is now a quote unquote long shot
Speaker 1: for him to make it back in the month of May,
Speaker 1: which is absolutely crazy. What the what the Mets medical
Speaker 1: staff is doing between Syndergard and cespedis losing some big
Speaker 1: guns for the Mets, who are not adhering to expectations
Speaker 1: so far this season. Dexter Fowler going to get an
Speaker 1: m r I on his shoulder he was diving for
Speaker 1: a ball in the outfield yesterday um and also Steve
Speaker 1: Piscotti already is not traveling with the team for their
Speaker 1: weekend series in Atlanta, so that St. Louis Cardinals outfield
Speaker 1: could be an issue with no Piscott and no Dexter Fowler.
Speaker 1: Rich Hill went only two thirds of an inning and
Speaker 1: gave up four runs in a high A rehab start.
Speaker 1: That is just straight up no bueno for him. They've
Speaker 1: been talking about him with that blister issue. They've been
Speaker 1: even some talk about when he returns, him returning to
Speaker 1: the bullpen instead of the rotation, and keep an eye
Speaker 1: out on that. UM. Ryan Brown still held out tonight
Speaker 1: because of that trapecs issue. And remember what I told
Speaker 1: you earlier in the week. I told you earlier in
Speaker 1: the week that I thought very similar to how the
Speaker 1: Mets needed to clear space for Confordo and they wind
Speaker 1: up maybe moving j Bruster first base. I told you
Speaker 1: the Dodgers might do the same thing to try to
Speaker 1: keep Cody Bellinger in the lineup when Jack Peterson comes back.
Speaker 1: And there is now word that they made DL Adrian
Speaker 1: Gonzalez so that Bellinger can in fact play. UM as
Speaker 1: we move on into this weekend, I got a couple
Speaker 1: of things I want to talk about as it relates
Speaker 1: to Major League Baseball, and I'm so glad that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be joined by Mr Benny Riccardi, who absolutely gets
Speaker 1: it done and is the author of the Definitive Guide
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Baseball, so he'd helped me out with some
Speaker 1: of this. But I gotta tell you guys. Something I
Speaker 1: saw three at bats today by Mr Aaron Judge against
Speaker 1: Mr Hendrix that I thought is so indicative of what
Speaker 1: is happening and why Yankee fans need to be so
Speaker 1: excited and hashtag all rise for Aaron Judge. In the
Speaker 1: first at bat, this dude hit a line drive in
Speaker 1: the gap so hard that it was a double right
Speaker 1: off the bat. Remember all season long, I've been talking
Speaker 1: about and I know Benny loves this too, I've been
Speaker 1: talking about exit velocity and launch angle. Well, when you're
Speaker 1: six ft seven two and eighty pounds, you can realize
Speaker 1: that you don't have to try to manufacture the launch angle.
Speaker 1: And this double that he hit in his first at
Speaker 1: bat was a perfect indicator of that. In the second
Speaker 1: at bat, he didn't get on base. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you why I loved the at bat. Aaron Drudge
Speaker 1: struck out looking on a full count. Okay, And the
Speaker 1: other the other stats that I've been looking at this year,
Speaker 1: besides his egg of velocity and the launch angle are
Speaker 1: things like swing rate and contact rate. And let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, Aaron Judge has dropped his swing rate
Speaker 1: down eleven percentage points and his contact rate is going up.
Speaker 1: I'm reminded of him. It's almost like Barry Bonds only
Speaker 1: got one pitch to hit all at bat and he
Speaker 1: would do something with it. I think it is an
Speaker 1: incredible improvement to see Aaron Judge have the discipline against
Speaker 1: the guy like Kendricks who only tries to get weak contact.
Speaker 1: He was not going out of the zone. He even
Speaker 1: took a questionable pitch on a three to count. And
Speaker 1: then his third act bat, Aaron Judge hits a laser
Speaker 1: right past Chris Bryan. Again, the launch angle doesn't matter
Speaker 1: when you're six ft seven, two hundred and eighty pounds.
Speaker 1: I am very, very encouraged by what I'm seeing out
Speaker 1: of Aaron Judge, even this weekend at Wrigley Field. Now,
Speaker 1: what I want to do here is as we talk
Speaker 1: about Major League Baseball, you know, one of the things
Speaker 1: I do, you know, at the end of the week
Speaker 1: is I give you guys some highlights in season long leagues.
Speaker 1: These are some guys that I think are real hot
Speaker 1: in the streets right now. And Benny, you would never
Speaker 1: believe this, but all of these guys that I'm about
Speaker 1: to mention are under thirty five percent owned in their
Speaker 1: season long leagues. And these are names that you may
Speaker 1: not think about, but I'm gonna tell you one reason
Speaker 1: or another while you need to go out and get them.
Speaker 1: I call them Mike Diamonds and the rough. Here's the
Speaker 1: first one. My first one is, would you believe Brett
Speaker 1: Gardner is owned in only thirty four percent of leagues?
Speaker 1: And I think Brett Gardner, especially if you need some steals. Listen, ops,
Speaker 1: already sixteen runs scored, already five stolen bases. He is
Speaker 1: at the top of this Yankees order, which leaves the
Speaker 1: A l and runs having been ready scored a hundred
Speaker 1: and forty eight runs. And this offense just got their
Speaker 1: number three hitter back in Gary Sanchez. I think that's
Speaker 1: a guy you could look at at only thirty owned.
Speaker 1: Another guy if you need the outfield, this guy is
Speaker 1: only twelve percent owned. And guess what he also just
Speaker 1: I believe may have just scored a run for the
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals. I've been telling you guys, right when Adam
Speaker 1: Eaton went down with a torn a c l and
Speaker 1: is out for the rest of the season, I told you, guys,
Speaker 1: whoever winds up in the two spot of that Washington
Speaker 1: Nationals order is someone that you need to keep your
Speaker 1: eye on. I told you it might have been Anthony
Speaker 1: Wren done. I suggested it could have even been Matt
Speaker 1: Weterers to get him some good pitches. But let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. Since the injury, it has been this guy,
Speaker 1: Jason Worth, and he is only twelve percent owned in
Speaker 1: season long leagues. This guy is going to be behind
Speaker 1: Trey Turner, and he's gonna have the Troy Ker of
Speaker 1: of Bryce Harper, Daniel Murphy and Ryan Zimmerman who is
Speaker 1: playing out of his mind behind him. That is quite
Speaker 1: possibly the best spot in any lineup to have. And
Speaker 1: as we all know, Jason Worth is a professional hitter.
Speaker 1: You know already has you know, only thirteen runs so
Speaker 1: far as seven bes only a seven thirty two ops.
Speaker 1: But I expect him to start getting pitches like woe.
Speaker 1: Get out ahead of it right now, Chris Bovona, My
Speaker 1: boy Jason Worth is a diamond in the rough. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what it is. And the next guy I
Speaker 1: want to tell you this guys only owned. Look at
Speaker 1: Tim Beckham on the Tampa Bay Rays. Okay, and let
Speaker 1: me tell you why this guy first of all O
Speaker 1: p s already has fourteen runs scored and fifteen Ribby's already.
Speaker 1: But that's not even the best part. The best part
Speaker 1: in your season long leagues is that this guy, who
Speaker 1: is only twenty six percent owned, is eligible at first base,
Speaker 1: at second base, and at short stop already in most leagues. Okay,
Speaker 1: and so that is some flexibility that you really could use.
Speaker 1: This guy is only percent owned. So right now it's
Speaker 1: happy hour. It's singled to my You and three of
Speaker 1: your boys are chilling at the bar. Three of you
Speaker 1: are in leagues where you can go out right now
Speaker 1: and get yourself. Tim Beckham, he of the eight four
Speaker 1: or seven o p s and the multi position eligibility.

Speaker 1: what I can. Come all right back. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good time. Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Freestyle with
Speaker 1: your boy, Dame Martinez. Do you know what it is?
Speaker 1: It's too Dave Martinez a k a. To spitting statistician.
Speaker 1: You're listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy the Sports Radio Network. Remember, you could holler at
Speaker 1: me all hour long if you want at eight four
Speaker 1: four eight four three six eight seven nine. You could
Speaker 1: also get at us on that f N T S
Speaker 1: Y radio Twitter handle. You could always holler at me
Speaker 1: or follow me at spitting speeds on Twitter as well.
Speaker 1: Let's get into the cipher here a couple of news
Speaker 1: and notes real quick. On the NFL. First of all,
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd is gonna be meeting with the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: and other teams hoping to sign a deal next week.
Speaker 1: I think it's important to note that starting next week, okay,
Speaker 1: if moves are made, they do not count against the
Speaker 1: compensatory picks for next year. So you may start to
Speaker 1: see a flurry of action as O t A s
Speaker 1: have started, rookie mini camps have started, and teams are
Speaker 1: gonna start to take stock of what they have. You
Speaker 1: know what they will not have as an option is
Speaker 1: quarterback j Cutler because they have announced that he is
Speaker 1: joining Fox as a color commentary in a three man
Speaker 1: booth starting this fall. He did, in fact actually talk
Speaker 1: with the Jets and the Texans before making his decision.
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting. We're gonna check in with
Speaker 1: my boy, Chris Bovona later on. Chris. One of the
Speaker 1: polls we had up this week was now that the
Speaker 1: draft has settled, which quarterback will find a job first?
Speaker 1: And the options were Colin Kaepernick, R G three, Ryan Fitzpatrick,
Speaker 1: and Jay Cutler. And of the people picked Jay Cutler.
Speaker 1: And what do you know, Jay Cutler does get a job,
Speaker 1: It's just not with an NFL team. Um. And then
Speaker 1: I also want to make the point again, remember I've
Speaker 1: been talking about how these guys, the quarterback class of
Speaker 1: Eli Ben and Philip Rivers. I really think that Josh
Speaker 1: Dobbs over there in Pittsburgh and this kid, Davis Webb
Speaker 1: for the New York Giants are interesting dynasty stacks. For
Speaker 1: that reason, Eli Manning gave a quick interview where he
Speaker 1: mentioned what happened when he called to welcome Davis Webb
Speaker 1: to the team. I thought it was interesting, and I
Speaker 1: quote Eli says, I just wanted to welcome to him
Speaker 1: the team, let him know if you had any questions
Speaker 1: or need anything, I was here for him. And then
Speaker 1: the kid Webb responds with a yes, sir. And then
Speaker 1: Eli Panning says in response, I told him we were
Speaker 1: off to a bad start. Do not refer to me
Speaker 1: as sir. I appreciate the manners, but we're teammates. And
Speaker 1: then he says, hopefully we got that straightened out. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, however, they straighten it out. This kid, Davis Webb.
Speaker 1: If Eli only has one or two more years, this
Speaker 1: kid Webb in a dynasty league in about two years,
Speaker 1: is going to inherit and Odell Beckham in his fifth
Speaker 1: or sixth year, a Shepherd in his third year, Evan
Speaker 1: Ingram in his third year with all the weapons, and
Speaker 1: Macado as the coach. Interesting spot in dynasty leagues. But
Speaker 1: as we keep it moving here on the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, you see, we got
Speaker 1: this pole question up and I asked people what are
Speaker 1: people most interested in this weekend. It's a huge sports weekend.
Speaker 1: We have the NHL playoffs going, the NBA Playoffs going,
Speaker 1: big time fight going on tomorrow night in Vegas Conelo
Speaker 1: Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. And we have the
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby right now with a ready over a hundred votes.
Speaker 1: Only eight percent of you think the Big Fight is
Speaker 1: what you're interested in, say the NHL playoffs, the NBA playoffs,
Speaker 1: And twenty eight percent of you say that because it
Speaker 1: is the first Saturday in May, that you are very
Speaker 1: excited about the Kentucky Derby. And I want to bring
Speaker 1: in my man, Benny Riccardi right now to talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about what's gonna be happening at Churchill Downs.
Speaker 1: I hear that you like the ponies, Benny. I got
Speaker 1: a couple of guys I like. I want to bounce
Speaker 1: them off. You a couple of guys you might like. Here.
Speaker 1: What we do on the Fantasy Freestyle is give people
Speaker 1: what they need to win that cash. So let's do it.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling, Benny, I'm feeling good man. This
Speaker 1: is a great weekend for me, for a lot of
Speaker 1: people who don't realize I actually started my degenerate gambling
Speaker 1: career at the race track. So I am somebody who,
Speaker 1: uh you know, my uncle used to write the past
Speaker 1: performances for the Metal ends in the day, and spent
Speaker 1: every weekend at Mammoth Park on the way back and
Speaker 1: forth from the shore. And I'm a Belmont guy myself.
Speaker 1: I actually might be going out there tomorrow to watch
Speaker 1: the Kentucky Derby, see some sun dresses, some mint julips.
Speaker 1: And I always get the Lawton sheets. That's the orange
Speaker 1: ones where I go. I like law and he knows
Speaker 1: what he's talking about. I think, yeah, I'm you know, see,
Speaker 1: I'm old school. I learned, you know, back in the day.
Speaker 1: So I get the daily racing form. I sit there,
Speaker 1: I crack it open. I go through all the past performances,
Speaker 1: you know, make my little notes, and then check the
Speaker 1: toe boards, see what the prices are, and go make
Speaker 1: my go, make my money. All right, So let's get
Speaker 1: into this. Uh, let's get into this race a little bit.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you first the first things first, if
Speaker 1: you're a horse guy, everyone has their own philosophies of
Speaker 1: things that they like. I'm gonna tell you something, Benny,
Speaker 1: real quick. I am a trainer jockey guy. And then
Speaker 1: I happened to like I like closers. I like closers
Speaker 1: because I want to know that my when my guy's
Speaker 1: coming around the bend, he could be sitting there. He
Speaker 1: could be sitting there off the pace, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and still have a chance. Maybe because I love Belmont
Speaker 1: so much that mile and a half, I love that
Speaker 1: home stretch. But um, we were talking off air about
Speaker 1: this idea of the uh you know, the jockey tree
Speaker 1: rain or combo, and that leads me right to and
Speaker 1: first of all, interesting, I don't think there's any Bob
Speaker 1: Bafford horses in this derby. For the first time in
Speaker 1: a very long time. Baffort does not have a horse.
Speaker 1: So that it makes me go to the next horse
Speaker 1: trainer that I know about, and that's Todd Pletcher. And
Speaker 1: then I see that one of my jockeys, especially here
Speaker 1: in New York, Johnny v Johnny Velasquez, is on the
Speaker 1: five horse, always dreaming. He's going off at five to
Speaker 1: one right now. He's like a co second choice. Um,
Speaker 1: how do you feel if I wanted to throw a
Speaker 1: couple of shekels on him? Well, I mean we talked
Speaker 1: about it beforehand. That's the guy that I like the most.
Speaker 1: And here's the deal in this situation. Pletcher has multiple horses,
Speaker 1: in this race, as he does a lot of times
Speaker 1: in the Derby. But anybody who's a horse racing fan
Speaker 1: knows that Pletchers go to jockey is Johnny V. Johnny V.
Speaker 1: So when you're looking at all these Pletcher horses right
Speaker 1: off the bat, the one that you want to put
Speaker 1: on the top of your list is whichever one he
Speaker 1: decides to put Johnny V on. And that's the one
Speaker 1: that we were talking about earlier and always dreaming. Now
Speaker 1: here's a horse that you know he went out and
Speaker 1: one to Florida Derby. Right now, the Florida Derby be
Speaker 1: as one of the biggest press like that one, the
Speaker 1: Arkansas Derby, the Wood Memorial. There's there's four or five
Speaker 1: of them. There's a couple out west, the Senta Either
Speaker 1: Derby being one of the big ones out there, you know.
Speaker 1: But there's certain races that more often than not, the
Speaker 1: winner of the Kentucky Derby comes out of and the
Speaker 1: Florida Derby is one of those spots. And that's one
Speaker 1: of the races that always dreaming one. And he came
Speaker 1: from behind there in that race. I think he had
Speaker 1: a great stretch run overtook some horses. I think Regby
Speaker 1: Mole was one of the horses he passed to win
Speaker 1: that race in the home stretch. Yeah, and now, and
Speaker 1: and here's the deal, I mean we were talking about
Speaker 1: it now. Churchill Downs is a lot like Belmont is,
Speaker 1: where they have that long backstretch. Now it is a
Speaker 1: little bit different though, because in Belmont they call it
Speaker 1: big Sandy because it's like it's like basically running on
Speaker 1: the beach, and anybody who's done that before knows you're
Speaker 1: gonna get tired, because that's why they trained. That's why
Speaker 1: the boxers trained running in the sand. That's it. That's
Speaker 1: that's the exact reason. You know. With Churchill Though, usually
Speaker 1: you're looking for what they call stalker horses. And what
Speaker 1: that is is you don't want the guy that's all
Speaker 1: the way in the back that's gonna make that one
Speaker 1: big late run. Those guys rarely ever it up to
Speaker 1: the finish line. At Churchill Downs. You want a guy
Speaker 1: who's gonna sit behind the speed horses, run out there
Speaker 1: and fast, and then when no speed horses start getting tired,
Speaker 1: you want the guy who's gonna get first run at him.
Speaker 1: And that's a kind of style that always Dreaming has
Speaker 1: so he's the perfect kind of style to win the
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby. Now, the problem is when you are one
Speaker 1: of those horses that sits off the front horses, you
Speaker 1: never know how your ride is gonna be. And what
Speaker 1: I mean by that is, this is a twenty horse field,
Speaker 1: a lot of traffic. Yeah, this never you never see
Speaker 1: horse races this big. Normally it's ten twelve horses at
Speaker 1: the most a lot of tracks. Now they can barely
Speaker 1: fill seven or eight in a lot of the stalls
Speaker 1: and the twenty horse field. How much luck you have
Speaker 1: with your ride is as important as what kind of
Speaker 1: horse you have. Always dreaming is a versatile horse that
Speaker 1: could go a little bit faster if you need to.
Speaker 1: You can sit back a little bit so you know,
Speaker 1: he JV gives gets a lot of options there. And
Speaker 1: when you give a lot of options to a rider
Speaker 1: like him, who's very good at judging the pace, he's
Speaker 1: gonna put this horse in the spot to make a
Speaker 1: big run at the end and win. You mentioned some
Speaker 1: of the different prep races that these horses were coming
Speaker 1: out of. There is one horse in the field and
Speaker 1: this is the number fifteen McCracken. He apparently has already
Speaker 1: had three starts and three wins at Churchill Downs. What
Speaker 1: kind of credence do you give to that, like the
Speaker 1: familiar track. I also think it's important he is right
Speaker 1: outside of the favorite, the four to one favorite classic Empire,
Speaker 1: So maybe to be able to kind of sit have
Speaker 1: that horse that's one of the favorites right next to him,
Speaker 1: like you said, sit back hole there and no, when
Speaker 1: to I I call it like when to use the
Speaker 1: nitrous tank? You know exactly you're trying to bide your time,
Speaker 1: and like when do you hit the turbo button? Isn't
Speaker 1: it true that if you're like right up on the
Speaker 1: pace right to the outside, you're clear of that traffic
Speaker 1: which you know, always dreaming from the five hole might
Speaker 1: be in and then like could be clear to you know,
Speaker 1: hit turbo right as they come around the turn. Yes
Speaker 1: and no, because here's the problem with McCracken. McCracken is
Speaker 1: what we call a deep closer. And yeah, Bell he's
Speaker 1: he's a horse. To keep in mind, remember this guy's okay,
Speaker 1: remember this in about a month and a half, we're
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about that when they run a mile
Speaker 1: and a half. Yeah, Now, the biggest problem with the
Speaker 1: deep closers over here at Churchill is you know, like
Speaker 1: you said, if he was sitting if he was a
Speaker 1: stalker and he was sitting right off of the side
Speaker 1: of the Battle of Midway, that would be perfect, that
Speaker 1: would be what you want. But a lot of times
Speaker 1: what he does is he'll fall back over there. So
Speaker 1: you know, his jockey needs to make sure that he
Speaker 1: keeps him towards the outside so that he can stay there. Now,
Speaker 1: the problem would being towards the outside is you know,
Speaker 1: it's a circle and the further way from the rail
Speaker 1: you are running. And that's unlike in unlike in the
Speaker 1: Olympics when they have the you know, the staggered start
Speaker 1: for the people on the outside, they all start on
Speaker 1: the same line right there. And that's why, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's advantageous if your speed on the inside, or
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a closer on the outside, he
Speaker 1: should be able to find a good spot and he
Speaker 1: should be able to have a good chance to get
Speaker 1: a clear run towards the end of the race. The
Speaker 1: problem is, like I said, at Churchill, it's a lot
Speaker 1: tougher for those deep closers to get up than it
Speaker 1: is for the horses that are stalking that are gonna
Speaker 1: get first run on the on the speeds. There's all right.
Speaker 1: So this is Ben Riccardi with Dave Martinez here in
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle Listen, you can still go out and
Speaker 1: the definitive guy to Fantasy Baseball, where my man Benny
Speaker 1: Riccordi compiled the brightest minds in the industry, including your
Speaker 1: boy Speeds has been statistician on that bill. Go out
Speaker 1: and get it now. Um, Benny, we only got like
Speaker 1: a minute left here before we got a hit break.
Speaker 1: Give me a win play show for the derby. What's
Speaker 1: your try? What's you try to win the race? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean always dreaming, is gonna be one of the
Speaker 1: guys i'd throw in there. Let me give you my
Speaker 1: long shot horse here that I think has a good chance.
Speaker 1: Can I guess? Can I guess? Is it, by any
Speaker 1: chance the eleven Battle of the Midway? No it is not.
Speaker 1: Although he is the speed, he should be the one
Speaker 1: leading at the beginning of the Yeah, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: he's gonna be there at the end. The guy that
Speaker 1: I like is the number seven girvand it's his fourth
Speaker 1: start and usually the derby winner has between four and
Speaker 1: six starts on a year. Mike Smith, that Jack has
Speaker 1: been around, yep, and he's coming off the two wins
Speaker 1: in the Risen Star in the l A Derby. You
Speaker 1: got the twenty best horses in the country running here.
Speaker 1: So you want guys that are either winning or coming
Speaker 1: in second in every recent way and every recent races,
Speaker 1: just like in anything else you want recent form. Now
Speaker 1: he's a stalker. He's a deep stalker, which means he
Speaker 1: is gonna be probably behind the horse like always dreaming
Speaker 1: and get that run over there. And the thing is
Speaker 1: his final fractions, his closing fractions, and those races that
Speaker 1: he won are very very good. They're like world class,
Speaker 1: elite kind of closing fractions. So if it comes down
Speaker 1: to a situation where him and always dreaming or kicking
Speaker 1: for home. As much as I like always dreaming, Gerving
Speaker 1: is one of those horses that might be able to
Speaker 1: OutKick him to get to the line. Interesting. I also
Speaker 1: want to put a quick note on Irish war Cry,
Speaker 1: the only horse who has two hundred plus buyer speed
Speaker 1: figures so far with the returning Rajiva back on him.
Speaker 1: And he's a Jersey bread Oh you know, Betty loves that.
Speaker 1: Check it out. When we come back here on Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: can you hang out for a little bit more. Let's
Speaker 1: do it. It's gonna be big things Fantasy Freestyle and
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You know what it is,
Speaker 1: day Martinez. Benny McCarty went back here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Of course, big
Speaker 1: shout out to our sports byline affiliates around the country
Speaker 1: and with the American Forces Radio Network, making Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: truly a global show. I got Chris Bofona with me
Speaker 1: on the ones into so Hot that we sweat steam,
Speaker 1: drop a bomb on it. Chris and Chris and Benny.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, guys, a lot of stuff going
Speaker 1: on this weekend, including the NHL Playoffs. I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit jealous. It seems like both of you guys were
Speaker 1: in the garden last night as the New York Rangers
Speaker 1: tied up that series at two? How what was the
Speaker 1: atmosphere like at Rangers Town, guys. I'll let you go, Benny, Oh,
Speaker 1: I mean it was, Honestly, it was crazy last night
Speaker 1: in the garden and it was awesome. And I actually
Speaker 1: made the mistake. I left with about four minutes left,
Speaker 1: I would say, after they were up four. You know,
Speaker 1: I know, I was listening on my way home. Apparently
Speaker 1: there was about fifteen fights after I left. So for
Speaker 1: everybody who says you can't take me anywhere, apparently I
Speaker 1: was not the reason for all the fights of the
Speaker 1: Guarded last night. No, no, no, not at all. Actually,
Speaker 1: the funny thing is that I left with like twenty
Speaker 1: five seconds left because there was the big fight. I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: all right, that's it, this game is over, no more fighting.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave. As I'm walking out the lobby, I
Speaker 1: go down, there's about two seconds had only gone off,
Speaker 1: and there was another fight. Wow, tend the game. They're
Speaker 1: dropping the gloves. It sounds like Game five of that
Speaker 1: series will be very earlier in the game, I had
Speaker 1: said to Benny, I'm like, you know, it's funny, there
Speaker 1: hasn't really been that much fighting in this series. You're
Speaker 1: like nostradamis bro. That's very exciting, man. You guys are
Speaker 1: picking it. You guys like the Rangers, uh to advance
Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference finals. The momentum is definitely on
Speaker 1: their side at this point, right, Oh, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: you can't really argue with it. Now again we're obviously
Speaker 1: bias because right now across the street from Madison Square
Speaker 1: Garden here at Studio thirty four and Rock and Violey's
Speaker 1: on Sinkle. Then Mayo speaking of what you know, what's
Speaker 1: happening tomorrow night to rate Mexican stars going at it
Speaker 1: where Saul Cannelo Alvarez and Julio Caesar Chavez are gonna
Speaker 1: be getting it on. Let me tell you something. This
Speaker 1: is a catchweight fight at a hundred and sixty four pounds.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. The size differential in these
Speaker 1: two men are gonna be what tells the tale. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: Chavez Jr. Is trying to lose weight to get down
Speaker 1: to this weight to make the fight, you know, go
Speaker 1: at this catchweight. Um. Sometimes when these kind of mismatches
Speaker 1: get in the ring, you see that the bigger man
Speaker 1: is obviously stronger and can obviously have more punching power.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when the bigger man like tries to lose all
Speaker 1: this weight right before the fight, they kind of look emaciated.
Speaker 1: The absuing reports that U Chavez Junor looks like Skeletor
Speaker 1: and that his best attribute is that he can quote
Speaker 1: unquote take a punch. Well, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: Cannello Alvarez works the body like a maniac, and that
Speaker 1: is why speeds. The spitting statistician thinks that Canelo will
Speaker 1: stop chav As on Saturday in the tenth round, setting
Speaker 1: up what I think will be the fight of the
Speaker 1: young century when Kanello Alvarez eventually takes on my man
Speaker 1: Triple g Gannati Glovekin a little bit later on this
Speaker 1: calendar year. Right now, on the poll, you guys are
Speaker 1: tile it is a close one. Kentucky derby NBA playoffs,
Speaker 1: on the NHL playoffs, and on the fight. Speaking of
Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs, right now, the Calves are up by
Speaker 1: seven on the Toronto Raptors in the second quarter down
Speaker 1: there up there in Toronto. But Chris, you know what
Speaker 1: we do, man, We put the fun and functional sports radio.
Speaker 1: So I want to catch you up a little bit
Speaker 1: on some of the things we've been talking about this week.
Speaker 1: Are you up for it? My friend? Okay, al right,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're up for it. So here's my
Speaker 1: first question for you. We asked our we asked our
Speaker 1: listeners this week Obviously, we had a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: going on with the Fenway Park, stuff going on with
Speaker 1: Adam Jones. I even had the fan who reported a
Speaker 1: racial slur on air with me. Big shout out again
Speaker 1: to Calvin Hennick for the interview he granted me. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: Chris I asked the pole question, which was, um, do
Speaker 1: you think buying a ticket to a pro sporting event
Speaker 1: gives you the right to say or do anything you want?
Speaker 1: In the light of what happened here with Adam Jones. Chris,
Speaker 1: what percentage of our listeners said yes, absolutely, that you
Speaker 1: can do or say whatever you want, even this stuff
Speaker 1: that was going on with Adam Jones. What percent of
Speaker 1: our listeners do you think said that on the Twitter poll?
Speaker 1: See now, personally I would have voted no. I yes,
Speaker 1: I also would have voted I also would not really
Speaker 1: I would want to love the thought process of someone
Speaker 1: who said yes. But taking all that aside, remember these
Speaker 1: are the same people that put cops into the final
Speaker 1: four on our TV he greatest the whole time tournament.
Speaker 1: So what do you think people said. I think I
Speaker 1: think people said yes. Now people said no, but there
Speaker 1: was there was who said yes, my friend, So that
Speaker 1: is of our listening audience, right um. I asked people,
Speaker 1: and I would up to get Mr Riccardi's thought on this.
Speaker 1: I this was early in the week. I asked on
Speaker 1: redraft Fantasy Baseball teams, who would you want to keep
Speaker 1: on your roster the most? Madison bum Gardner, Noahs Nderguard
Speaker 1: or Sterling Marte. Who do you think? People said, I
Speaker 1: would probably go Madison Bumgardner personally interesting, and fifty of
Speaker 1: the people did agree with you, Benny, and went with
Speaker 1: Madison bum Gardner. Eight percent said four seventeen percent said
Speaker 1: Marteincent said none of the above. In a redraft league,
Speaker 1: I would take Starlin Marte. And here's why. With both
Speaker 1: of these pictures, you never know what it's gonna be
Speaker 1: like when they come back, and don't leave anything to
Speaker 1: the met medical status. You never know what the case.
Speaker 1: I at least think that Marte, when the suspension is up,
Speaker 1: will at least be a reasonable approximation of himself in
Speaker 1: what is about two months now away. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: there's there's the old saying that you always want to
Speaker 1: take the guy who is not out on an injury,
Speaker 1: because he's not out on an ery, he's not being
Speaker 1: suspended because he took a bunch of steroids, which again
Speaker 1: the field, this is the top ten outfielder going into drafts.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. I mean a lot of people got hurt
Speaker 1: by this because he was a guy that was going
Speaker 1: in like the top of the second round because to
Speaker 1: that stolen base upside that he has. And again, he's
Speaker 1: not hurt. It's not like his legs are hurt. He's
Speaker 1: still gonna start stealing bases the first game he gets
Speaker 1: back in there, exactly exactly. And now, Chris, I want
Speaker 1: to get you caught up, my friend, because as you know,
Speaker 1: last weekend was the NFL Draft, right, so a lot
Speaker 1: of big coverage we did here on the Fantasy Sports Network.
Speaker 1: There are two very interesting uh kind of like endorsement
Speaker 1: product placement that happened during the draft. I wanna let
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, Chris, which do you think
Speaker 1: was better? First of all, Michigan tight end Jake Butt
Speaker 1: got an endorsement deal. Do you know with who? Uh something?
Speaker 1: Absolutely it was Sharman. He got a Charman deal. I
Speaker 1: think that is incredibly fitting and incredibly hysterical. Right, However,
Speaker 1: I think it was outdone by Missouri defensive end Charles
Speaker 1: Harris was drafted in the first round by the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: He was like not in the green room. He was
Speaker 1: at home at a draft party. Okay, like you know,
Speaker 1: friends and family, and you know they cut to them
Speaker 1: in the coverage. So when he was drafted, they cut
Speaker 1: to him and you know who was like in the
Speaker 1: crowd in the background the photo bombing Sasquatch from the
Speaker 1: Jack Lee Jack Links jerky commercials and apparently like then
Speaker 1: the guy had the jack Links logo like in his
Speaker 1: in his suit liners and stuff like that. What do
Speaker 1: you think is better Chris Jake Butt signing a deal
Speaker 1: and you know he's a tight end after all, signing
Speaker 1: with Sharman or Sasquatch in the background. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: for product placement? What do you think? But here, okay,
Speaker 1: fair enough? What do you think, Benny? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I I think that, you know, the whole Sasquatch thing,
Speaker 1: that was some pretty smart marketing. Absolutely, just do next?
Speaker 1: Do you think like maybe the burger king will be
Speaker 1: in the green room at the NFL draft or something.
Speaker 1: I think that's smart innovative product placement. No, you know what,
Speaker 1: I think the next will be the NBA draft and
Speaker 1: will have like I don't know, LaVar speaking of which,
Speaker 1: and Benny, I'm so glad you here because as we know,
Speaker 1: you know, Benny is the resident sneaker head of the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports radio network. So first of all, we got
Speaker 1: to talk about this. And Chris, you may know this,
Speaker 1: but you know I said this a long time ago
Speaker 1: when LaVar Ball started talking about Lebron James and his kids,
Speaker 1: I was like, you can cross Nike off the list
Speaker 1: of any company that was gonna give him a billion
Speaker 1: dollars deal, because not only is Lebron James the head
Speaker 1: coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, he's basically the CEO of
Speaker 1: Nike as well. Right, So I don't care if he
Speaker 1: wants this like co branding, this endorsement deal, I don't care.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, my man. Five hundred dollars. You
Speaker 1: can rent a one bedroom apartment in Wichita, Kansas four
Speaker 1: hundred seventy dollars a month. Yet apparently, according to LaVar,
Speaker 1: you ain't balling if you can't afford these shoes. Chris, Benny,
Speaker 1: what do we think about this? I think what you
Speaker 1: need to do all the kids out there. I gotta
Speaker 1: advice for you here in the Fantasy Freestyle. Go out
Speaker 1: and tell your parents that you want the LaVar Ball,
Speaker 1: that you want the Alonzo ball shoes for five hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: You know what's gonna happen. They're not gonna give it
Speaker 1: to you there. Instead, gonna only spend a hundred fifty
Speaker 1: dollars and get you the Lebron James Is And that's
Speaker 1: what you probably wanted. Anyway, that's the way you need
Speaker 1: to play it with mom and dad. Benny, as a parent,
Speaker 1: what do you think about that strategy? If Mike Kid
Speaker 1: comes to me after listening to the show, it tells
Speaker 1: me he wants the Alonzo Ball, Yeah, how's it? The tools?
Speaker 1: What about the ones with the what's the first ones?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I have a major
Speaker 1: problem with this. To be honest, I would never pay
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars for a pair of sneakers. But you
Speaker 1: know what I will say about LaVar Ball. Tell me
Speaker 1: we're sitting here talking about it. Was on ESPN a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago, it was on CNBC yesterday, and
Speaker 1: SNBC is mentioning it. Uh, the man can market It's true.
Speaker 1: It's true. It's damn true. Um, I don't know, Chris.
Speaker 1: How do you feel five hundred bucks for a pair
Speaker 1: of Nikos? You've got better uses for that money, dude.
Speaker 1: I think my whole closet of sneakers cost about five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Word. I mean I've been wearing sneakers that
Speaker 1: I bought like five six years ago. I am a
Speaker 1: Generation xer though, you know I'm not with these millennials. Benny.
Speaker 1: How many sneakers do you own? Your sort of a
Speaker 1: sneaker head, It's it's probably about forty or fifty pairs. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: do you have more shoes or does your wife? Oh,
Speaker 1: she's got way more than I do. Yeah, she puts
Speaker 1: me to shame. But also she only has like two
Speaker 1: pair of sneakers. They're like, you know, she's got all
Speaker 1: like shoes, shoes. Fair enough, fair enough. And here's the
Speaker 1: last story I wanted to get with you, Chris. Um,
Speaker 1: I call it the m M A circle of life.
Speaker 1: Do you know that Ms rond Rousey is engaged. She's
Speaker 1: engaged to yet another She's engaged to a UFC guy,
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, I believe his name is. And but you
Speaker 1: know Dana White in January said that Ronda has probably
Speaker 1: had her last fight, so she's on her way out. However, Chris,
Speaker 1: there is a m m A event in Japan going
Speaker 1: on later on this month where they will be a female,
Speaker 1: you know, a women's division match with a twelve year
Speaker 1: old girl involved. Chris, how do you feel about a
Speaker 1: twelve year old female mm A fighter fighting? That is
Speaker 1: my question? Exactly what is worse the pr team for
Speaker 1: the twelve year old or the twenty five year old
Speaker 1: woman who agreed to take on the fight against a
Speaker 1: twelve year old Benny, Yeah, I have a proble. I mean,
Speaker 1: as a father with three young kids, I have a
Speaker 1: problem with that. I don't mind if she's fighting in
Speaker 1: her own age group or her own weight class, and
Speaker 1: that's something that you know, there are there are events
Speaker 1: for people that age and and you know, in that
Speaker 1: weight class and all that stuff. I don't think she
Speaker 1: should be fighting a grown woman though. That's a you know,
Speaker 1: it's just it would be the same thing. Actually, it
Speaker 1: would be even worse if it was a man. But
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. It's still not something that as
Speaker 1: a parent I ever want to see happening. Leave it
Speaker 1: to m m A. In Japan for that to happen.
Speaker 1: You know, Um, we're almost at a time here going
Speaker 1: into happy hour single the mi OD big things here
Speaker 1: at Studio thirty four on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: and right now thirty percent of you I think that
Speaker 1: the Kentucky Derby is the biggest thing this weekend going
Speaker 1: on NBA playoffs, say, NHL playoffs and seventent say the
Speaker 1: Canelo Alvarez Julio Caesar Chavez fight. Brings me back to
Speaker 1: the Derby. You know, Benny, you were talking about Todd Pletcher.
Speaker 1: Top Pletcher has another horse going. His name is Patch.
Speaker 1: He's coming out of the twenty spot all the way
Speaker 1: on the end. The thing with Patches, He's only got
Speaker 1: one eye and it's his right eye. So being all
Speaker 1: the way on the outside without a left eye, how
Speaker 1: do you see the field? Is that? Like, is there
Speaker 1: any chance this horse could win with one eye? Or
Speaker 1: is that even what they do by putting blinkers on
Speaker 1: the horses that like? Well, I mean basically it's a
Speaker 1: here no evil, see no evil kind of thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: his jockey is gonna keep him towards the outside because
Speaker 1: he's another one of those closer kind of horses and all,
Speaker 1: you know, he doesn't really have to see anything but
Speaker 1: in front of him. And basically, when you're a jockey
Speaker 1: on top of these horses, you want them doing whatever
Speaker 1: you want to do. So if he can get him
Speaker 1: to come and settle to the outs odd and he
Speaker 1: gets a nice little yeah, that's true. But you know
Speaker 1: what if he just sits there on the outside and
Speaker 1: then he gets a late run, if the pace is
Speaker 1: hot up front and it kind of melts down, He's
Speaker 1: definitely somebody that can get a piece from the back,
Speaker 1: no doubt. That's what it is, Benni Riccardi, helping you
Speaker 1: win your leagues and win that cash. You know how
Speaker 1: we do when we come back, though, we're gonna tie
Speaker 1: a nice neat little bow. On this episode of the

Speaker 1: in uh without Tony Parker, the Spurs will travel to Houston.
Speaker 1: Will the Houston Rockets hit that? What me and Donnie
Speaker 1: Burns say is the magical threshold of twenty three's. If
Speaker 1: they hit that, they're going to be tough to stop,
Speaker 1: no matter who is on the other side. In the
Speaker 1: NHL today, uh St Louis Blues looking to stay alive
Speaker 1: in Game five at home against the Nashville Predators and
Speaker 1: Game five and Anaheim between the Ducks and the Edmonton Oilers.

Speaker 1: in the tenth round. He is going to stop the
Speaker 1: silver spoon mouth kid that is Julio Caesar Chavez that
Speaker 1: tried a little bit too hard to lose that weight
Speaker 1: looks like skeletor in my opinion, and with that NBA playerffs.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see if any team get upset. The Trilogy
Speaker 1: of the Warriors and the Calves come on back on Monday.
