<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Sports are Radio Network alongside a Rage Staville. I

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>am Greg Susman, Frankie, what's going on? What's happening? Happy

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday to your budd Interesting night last there. He had

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>some great basketball games. We had Paddock versus de Graham

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>absolutely insane. But then after that you went to sleep, Greg,

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>how did you sleep? Buddy? So Judy spent like four

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>hours watching the met Galla red Carpet. Do you know

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>what that is? The met is the Metropolitan Museum of Art,

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>right um, so I'm guessing they had some kind of event. Greg, Right,

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you're right, So it's like outside of that, I don't know.

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 1>You're all good. So it's like the biggest night in

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.880
<v Speaker 1>fashion where all these like celebrities go to the met

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and sponsored by Anna windsor don't worry about It and Okay,

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>so all these celebrities were like ridiculous fashion and they

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>walk this red carpet and you analyze it like it's

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the Oscars type of thing. So she had DVRD that

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and watched like four hours of it. So by the

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>time she was done, it was like I actually worked

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>out all right, because it was right at the end

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Rockets game, like around midnight, so she was done.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>She came in, she watched like the last minute with

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>me good, like I'm great now, I'm gonna go to sleep,

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>feeling good. Right. For some reason, she was hyper. It's

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>just yapping away and I'm like, listen, I'm trying to sleep.

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired, and she's just like yapping away. I finally

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.839
<v Speaker 1>fall asleep and I wake up. I'm tired still now

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>because I was ready to sleep and I couldn't go

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 1>to sleep, so I was just very tired when I

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>woke up this morning. I'm sorry, I'm very tired as well.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>You made a lot of noise when she was getting

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>ready for work today, and I know that frustrates you

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>exact great. Yeah, I'm not really a morning guy outside

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 1>of that. Yeah, a little creepy this morning as well. Um,

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>more complaints about the weather. But whatever. Outside of that,

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>life is good, Greg, That's always good, Frank, always good.

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Unless you started Merrill Kelly, because I had a home

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>league where I started Merrill Kelly and Pedro Stroke. Gregg,

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>would you like to take a guess on what they

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.639
<v Speaker 1>combined for yesterday? Your e r A is probably on

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>its points league? Oh god, negative points, yes, lots of them. Yeah,

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>negative twenty combined. I wouldn't have gone that. Yeah, that's

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a negative twenty. That's Pedro Stroke unable to get an

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 1>out against the Miami Marlins of all teams, and Merrill

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Kelly negative eight. Those two basically canceled out what basically

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>fanning game. So good times. Well, that's kind of what

0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>happened in my my whole league where I picked up

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Merrill Kelly, as I said yesterday on the program, and

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>started at the same time as I started Blake Snell

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and that they cancel each other out as well. Blake

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Snell was, alright, let's let's start with Merrill Kelly, as

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned him twice. Blake Snell versus Merrill Kelly and

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Blake Snell. How they returned to dominance where he was

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>perfect through five, then hit a batter and allowed basic

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>got pulled after six was amazing. Merrill Kelly not as

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>much as Merrill Kelly's line here, Frank was four innings,

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>seven hits, seven runs, three walks and two strikeouts. Can

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>you drop Merrill Kelly? Yeah, I'd say so, Yeah, yeah,

0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>twelve team leagues, probably even in fifteen teams overall, even

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the underlying numbers are not great. He's got a four

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>eight five r A. The underlying numbers are pretty much

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in line with that. He's not a guy that gets

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of strikeouts, and he's also walking a decent

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>amount of batters too. He's got a three point nine

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>two walks per nine greg and his kper nine is

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>just over seven, so it's not really a good combination.

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't blow people away. He's more of a paint

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>the corners kind of guy. Power fact all, he's a

0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>big curveball. But Oral just doesn't have enough stuff. That's

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.039
<v Speaker 1>what it comes down to. He doesn't have enough swinging

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>miss stuff. He walks him any batters, So overall, I

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>would say you can drop my almost like hate dropped

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:10.839
<v Speaker 1>him last night. You ever do that, Craig, like hate

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>drop a player. Oh yeah, you give me a negative

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>eight points hate drop with Meryl Kelly last night. But

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 1>there's like nobody good out there. So he's still my team. Well,

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I have uh fab in my league. My home league

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>goes through Wednesday night, Friday night, and Sunday night, right,

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 1>so he'll be off my team Wednesday night. Nice, let

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 1>me pick up for because I'll try to do the

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>same thing. I think you can confidently drop him and

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.600
<v Speaker 1>then Blake Snell. Look, if they would have just kept

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 1>him out this long and maybe he came back for

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.159
<v Speaker 1>this start, then we wouldn't have had the two blow

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>off starts. It seems like he's kind of getting his

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 1>legs underneath him again, no pun intended, even though it

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 1>was like a broken toe whatever. It seems like he's

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>starting to establish himself. Maybe he just really struggles against

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the Kansas City Royals. Maybe that's it. Because those two

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>starts that he had where he was not himself, the

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City Royals bombed him. So it's either the Kansas

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>City Real see him really well or he was still

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of battling this fractured toe that he was dealing

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>with and that ultimately affected his production. But either way,

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>he got back to dominance last night you mentioned it.

0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he was just lights out. This was the

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Blake Snow that we saw earlier on in the season.

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Six innings, one hit, zero runs, zero walks. That's what

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I really love to see, man, the zero walks here

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned he had the one hit by pitch, nine strikeouts.

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>He was absolutely dominant. I just kind of wished, uh,

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 1>just kind of wish the race kept him out for

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 1>a couple more weeks. It seemed like I tend to

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 1>lean towards that he just wasn't and he's probably getting

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>closer to that now. So it's good to see. You

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>needed to see that as a Blake Snow owner very much.

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.599
<v Speaker 1>If I owned him, which I don't um not that

0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I was opposed to taking him, I did have some concerns,

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>But if I owned him and I saw these last

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 1>two stars of like this broken toe thing is going

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.479
<v Speaker 1>to be a thing all season long. Now I'd be

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>freaking out. So it's good to see a dominant start

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>like this and kind of everything down great, very much.

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Agree with that. Two runs by the Rays yesterday, obviously,

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Garcia and Tommy Fam each homer for Tampa Bay. Garcia

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>has gotten most of the playing time for Austin Meadows.

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>He was three for four, still playing very very well,

0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:19.520
<v Speaker 1>while Tommy Fam continues to, uh, do you very well?

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I know he's just something a little bit. But the

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>OBP over four hundred, average still over three hundred. Tommy

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>fail Avasale Garcia both doing overly well for you. Yeah,

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Yondi d has went one for four run scored in

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>twelve team league, and I know the o BP is

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>still a hundred points higher than the average in twelve

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>team leagues. Yondi das droppable. I I don't think so.

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I know that he's kind of cooled off recently. The

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>batting averages down to tifties seven. Um, I think we're

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna see some ups and downs, right Like this is

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>his first time as a full time player. Are's still

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>doing a lot of really good things. He's walking a

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 1>ton too, he's part of a good lineup, you know,

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay Rays. I mean they just continue to score.

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>They know how to put it together. Right now, Um,

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the walk read, it's almost as high as a strikeout.

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Read does a strike out all that much? So you know,

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>even in obviously I mean in points because he's even

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.160
<v Speaker 1>better the fact that he walks almost as much as

0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 1>he strikes out, hits the ball decently hard, still hits

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the ball on the ground too much. We saw early

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>on and see he was starting to lift the ball

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more, which is what we've talked about.

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>If he can hit more flyballs, if you can hit

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 1>more line drives, because a lot of hitters have this issue.

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's basically the way that you're taught to play.

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>If the way that he taught to play was taught

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.520
<v Speaker 1>to play was hit the ball as hard as you

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.560
<v Speaker 1>can and hit it into the ground, and that's what

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>he's used to. But um, he made some adjustments early on.

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.719
<v Speaker 1>But now we see the groundball rates start to to

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>creep back up. It's over fifty three percent. I don't

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 1>think I would drop him great. I think that I've

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>seen enough earlier on in the season where I'm intrigued,

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and the walk read is still really good. I would

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>hold on. I agree as Oh, I just realized now

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>that we moved the batter, I can't see the clock.

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>That's an issue. It's twelve twelve, Greg, thank you. Um. Anyway,

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>with YONDI days, he wasn't one of the guys that

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I picked up because they're hot. I picked him up

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>because I thought that he could have a long term

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>lasting impact. Just because he's a little bit of a

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 1>slump right now doesn't mean that I want to cut

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Yon d d As. I'm holding onto him for now,

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 1>even me, Frank, Yeah, I was looking at the most

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>added and dropped players right now and Yahoo and yeah,

0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>top twelve right now in most drop players. Yeah, I

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>mean it's it was a reasonable question. So let's see

0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>who's who's the most added to the most added bats

0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 1>right now? Chris Taylor, who is red hot right now?

0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.600
<v Speaker 1>It hits Chris Taylor a little bit. It's four multi

0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 1>hit games in a row. Am I dropping your d

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>d s for Chris Taylor? I'm not. I'm not either,

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Derek Dietrich. You see, in a week like this week,

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 1>they face what four lefties, Greg, It wasn't in the

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>line up yesterday against Drew palm Rands. I'm not doing

0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.960
<v Speaker 1>that either. Nick Senzel, sure if he was out there,

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think he's out there in a lot

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 1>of leagues. This might be a fair question. How about

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Howie Kendrick. He's been really good. He's batting, got five homers,

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>sixteen ribs. Even with Anthony Brandon coming back, it seems

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>like he's still going to play. I think because Matt

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Adams is hurt, and they, I mean, they could use

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.160
<v Speaker 1>them in the outfield a little bit. They can throw

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 1>him at first base, they can move them around. MHM

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Das or Howie Kendrick probably an DS for me. That

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>one was a little bit closer. Man, Howie Kendrick is

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.280
<v Speaker 1>doing some really nice things this year. From a batted

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 1>balled her perspective, that's clo I think I would lean

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>with the Andy Das, but I do like some Howie Kendrick. Wait, well,

0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 1>nice little renaissance here from from Howie. Here points sticker

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>average velocity for Howie Kendrick. His batting average is three

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight. Is expected batting is three thirty nine, So

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>all of his number is pretty much lined up with

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>what he's doing hard hit rate. Oh man, this is close.

0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>If I knew long term to Howie Kendrick would have

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 1>a job because I don't think. I don't worry about

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Yandy his playing time. I feel like he's going to

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 1>be in there regardless of what's going on. They clearly

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>traded for him, They clearly like him a lot. Man,

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.960
<v Speaker 1>if I had more of an assurance that Howie Kendrick

0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 1>was going to be in the lineup long term for

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Nationals, I probably go with him. Looking at

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 1>looking at these numbers, Greg, I like what I see.

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Before we continue on a bit of NFL news, I

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>wanted to just quickly get to Adam Schefter just tweeted

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.319
<v Speaker 1>out that Jason Perre Paul stuffered up potential season ending

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:46.319
<v Speaker 1>broken neck in a single car accident last week in Florida,

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.560
<v Speaker 1>where he lives. He visited. He will visit next specialists

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>this week to get their opinions to see if there's

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>any hope to save his season. Wow. I know it's

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>not fantasy related, but could affect those wind totals in

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay. What is it? What is the running right now?

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 1>To him? But you know, I think it was six

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and a half. I feel like I heard Gabe talking

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>about it recently and he was really really bullish on

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:13.199
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks, which way over again, Bruce arians. They obviously

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>bring Todd Bowles in six and a half defense, six

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>and a half draft Devin White till they get their linebacker,

0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:19.600
<v Speaker 1>but you lose a pass fresh for like Jppt. I

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>mean even last year the tamp Bay Bucks defense was

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 1>not good, but he's still He's still performed very well.

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that could potentially be a huge loss of

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay Bucks six and a half right now the

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>over under in Vegas when it comes to the Tampa

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Bay Buccaneers, Well, that is the division that normally we

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of halfer, a lot like one team

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 1>will start at the bottom and then now we're here. Okay,

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:51.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a bad one. Say it's so confidently I understand. Okay,

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 1>so Ian, you mentioned how he Kendricks let's get to

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Nationals was up next? Yet Steven Strasberg go

0:12:57.240 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>for Washington against a Leasha Greg I meant Max Scherzer,

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 1>he's mad. Max. Excuse me, I wrote it down, different

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>eye colors. I wrote it down. Maxser is the weirdest thing, Greaffer,

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it's two different. I feel like it seen that before.

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't always that prominent though, was it really even

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 1>back to his tiger's these m all right? I had

0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>some kind of conspiracy theory in my mind that he

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.720
<v Speaker 1>went and got like one of his eye colors changed,

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>a contacting younger or something like that, but he isn't

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>like that. It is very it is very interesting thing

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 1>going on there with Max Scherzer's eyes. I do appreciate

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 1>that his his fun um. You can't see the Max

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.360
<v Speaker 1>right now, but anyway, yes, his funcow, different eye colors,

0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 1>very accurate. I appreciate that. Chus Or last night was awesome.

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.560
<v Speaker 1>He went six innings, allowed six hits, two runs, only

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.439
<v Speaker 1>one of them were earned. He walked when he struck

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 1>out ten on the other side, at least seen did enough.

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Five innings, three hits, two runs, two walks, three ks.

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Why am I going in this game? Well, Howard Kendrick one.

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:03.079
<v Speaker 1>The second thing is who got the save in Milwaukee

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:07.079
<v Speaker 1>last night? The bullpen blewett uh for Max Scherzer and co.

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 1>And for the Brewers. With Josh Hayter needing a night off,

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Jeffy Jeffers pitched the eighth, and Junior Ghetta pitched the

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:21.720
<v Speaker 1>ninth for his second save of the year. Frank Jeffers

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 1>in the eighth, Garrett in the ninth. So my first

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 1>initial instinct was to go back to the play by

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 1>play and see who was up in the eighth for

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the Nationals. Kurt Suzuki, Brian Dozer, William Dafoe, Wi Willim

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Defoe was an actor. That's right in the ninth where

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>you saw Junior Gara, Michael Taylor, Carter Cure Room and

0:14:55.360 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>not Aaron Nola, but someone named Noel still filling in

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a first base for them right now. Not Matt Adams. Okay,

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>he's got him. What do you make of this in Milwaukee?

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just very clearly Junior Gara, former starting pitcher.

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 1>He's been pitching well out of the bullpens. I I

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>honestly can't answer that question. But he does have two

0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 1>saves on the year. Josh Hayder has nine. They have

0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>twelve as a team. Alex Wilson had one as well

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.440
<v Speaker 1>earlier on in the season. He is not when they

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>signed him, but it does seem like Junior Gara is

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 1>the handcuff here behind Josh Hayter, and it's not Jeremy Jeffers,

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>who has also pitched. Well, you got two point zero

0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 1>eight er a one batting average against Junior Gara a

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.000
<v Speaker 1>little bit better, one eight teen batting average against a

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>zero point seven nine whip. He's get seventeen strikeouts and

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty and the third so not getting a ton of strikeouts.

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Listen to this, great, this is crazy. Junior Garra has

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>seventeen strikeouts and twenty and one third endings pitched. Josh

0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Hayter has seventeen in two thirds innings pits, so about

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>to three innings. Lest again, Junior gar had seventeen strikeouts.

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>How many do you think Josh Hayter had? He's twenty

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.920
<v Speaker 1>two more strikeouts. That's absolutely insane. I don't I'm not

0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 1>reading too much into this, Greg. I just think if

0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 1>anything were to happen to Josh Hayder, it would probably

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>go to a committee approach kind of thing. But I

0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>think as of right now, Junior Garat is the next man.

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 1>If you're not in a key re league, should you

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>drop Carter keep him? Not yet. I'm not ready to

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.680
<v Speaker 1>give up. You know, we made a lot of references

0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 1>to Alex Bregman when Hard keep him first, I got

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>called up Alex Bregman did something very similar to this,

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>and then he took off. I'm not gonna open. We'll

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.920

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.520
<v Speaker 1>it's funny. Actually, so he had Jerry Bailey, I've got

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the first thing he asked. He goes, well, you guys

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:35.120
<v Speaker 1>watch horse racing or only the Kentucky Derby. I told

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.399
<v Speaker 1>him I owed a horse and I go to the

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.640
<v Speaker 1>metal age every day. It's like, okay, okay, okay. They

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.160
<v Speaker 1>basically wanted to talk whether we do we're good talking

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 1>about or not. I said, yeah, I just wondered, do

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you guys like follow this top fs? It just sort

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:51.440
<v Speaker 1>of week days before you gamm eastern one pm Pacific

0:18:51.560 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network bff's Fantasy Sports

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Radio Network Stanford, Susman. And while most of America was

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 1>watching the Rockets and the Warriors of the hell of

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Baseball game that's going on out there in San Diego,

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the Padres and the Politans would have thought the Politans

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 1>worst record in the Padres year at this point. Padre

0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 1>said at twenty and sixteen, the Mets now sixteen and nineteen.

0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 1>After getting shut out in San Diego last night, Chris

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Paddocks everything that fantasy experts wanted him to be when

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 1>this season began. Only Hazy s Lozardo was there as well.

0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Paddocks seven and two thirds, just four hits allowed, zero

0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:46.080
<v Speaker 1>runs allowed, one walk, eleven strikeouts. He threw just pitches.

0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:47.920
<v Speaker 1>On the other side, take with the ground was very

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.400
<v Speaker 1>good as well, just not as good. He went seven

0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>intings a lot of four hits, two runs, one walk,

0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.280
<v Speaker 1>and he struck out seven. Franc This one was good.

0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 1>It was really good. And you're right about most of

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 1>America watching the Rockets in the war as I had

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 1>that on the big screen and then I had Paddock

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and de Grom on the laptop, so I had both

0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:06.399
<v Speaker 1>of those things going on at the same time, and

0:20:06.440 --> 0:20:08.159
<v Speaker 1>it was well worth it. You had to watch what

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 1>was going on in this game, and like Paddock was

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 1>just a madman. Last night I tweeted about how angry

0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.440
<v Speaker 1>he pitches. Greg He reminds me of Jake Peavy back

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 1>in the day. A lot of people used to call

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Jake Peve the bulldog you watching pitch, he was just

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:26.840
<v Speaker 1>like snarl at people while yesterday and addic dude a

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of the same man. He's just angry. He's striking

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.320
<v Speaker 1>out Pete Alonso. He's walking off the mountain. I didn't

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.400
<v Speaker 1>know that he had such a rivalry with Pete Alonso

0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.080
<v Speaker 1>until I was watching this start, and then I saw

0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:39.240
<v Speaker 1>stuff like afterwards while it was going on that apparently

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram, Chris Paddock commented on MLB's post about he

0:20:45.600 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>de Alonso winning the National League Rookie of the Week,

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Rookie of the Month or something like that. He was like, yeah,

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:53.439
<v Speaker 1>we'll see, We'll see on Monday eyes emoji. So he

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.359
<v Speaker 1>was fired up for this one. He was ready. Um,

0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.159
<v Speaker 1>he got the best out of Pete Alonso as well,

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and he just been awesome. Uh. Seven and two thirds

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.679
<v Speaker 1>and eleven strike outsoles were both season highs from obviously

0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>career highs its first season in in the big leagues,

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty one swinging strikes. Overall, this Mets lineup has not

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.640
<v Speaker 1>been good over the past couple of weeks or so,

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.800
<v Speaker 1>so I would not be opposed to streaming starting pitchers.

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I almost went as far as to suggest a Cal

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Quantrill as a streamer tonight on my Patreon Greg, but

0:21:22.560 --> 0:21:23.879
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, I can't do that. Yeah, it

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>must have been bad, but I don't think I can.

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I can recommend. I considered picking Listen. I consider picking

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.879
<v Speaker 1>up Cal Quantrill, who has the project pedigree, uh, former

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 1>top pick for San Diego, who has not exactly lit

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the world on fire in the minor leagues. But I'm

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:39.640
<v Speaker 1>interested in Cal Quantrill to see what he couldn't become

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:41.879
<v Speaker 1>in the major leagues. By the way, I just randomly

0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 1>looks up because you're talking about Padocks. I looked in

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Hazis Lizardo see if I can find an information. There's

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>something been written about him in like the last couple

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.280
<v Speaker 1>of weeks, and we started a pro throwing program about

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:52.119
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago. Now do you know where he went

0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to high school? The answer is Marjorie Stoneman Douglas in Parkland, Florida.

0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh really out. And he was supposed to actually have

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:09.440
<v Speaker 1>uh face live hitters, a live batting practice UM session

0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>in at Stoneman Douglas because he still works out there

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 1>in the off season. I say, Anthony Risen also went there,

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:21.159
<v Speaker 1>by the way, Yeah, I remember he did it. He

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 1>did a lot after everything that happened there. He was

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:26.920
<v Speaker 1>just obviously spoke openly about it and everything. But yeah,

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean I would expect Luzardo. I don't know what's

0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 1>realistic early June. Maybe we should get an update from us. Yeah, maybe.

0:22:34.080 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 1>So he's not supposed to be ready for the minors.

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I think I just right until the end of May.

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:41.639
<v Speaker 1>So you look at after the All Star breaking back. Anyway,

0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Paddocks speached to being ridiculous and phenomenal and well great,

0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:47.119
<v Speaker 1>we have to address the elephant in the room too

0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 1>going on here with Paddock. What do you do if

0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:53.920
<v Speaker 1>you own him? You ride the way and enjoy yourself. Well,

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, we get more of an update yesterday regarding

0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:01.879
<v Speaker 1>his his endings limit, and they're saying hundred and fifty innings.

0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I guess what. He just went seven and two thirds

0:23:04.280 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>last night adds a decent chunk to that total. The

0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 1>saying I don't know that his value will ever be

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:12.600
<v Speaker 1>higher than it is right now in Keeper in Dynasty,

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trading him. I mean, look, I'm just unless

0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I get give me your five best players, and I'm

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to win it all this year. Outside of that,

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:24.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm holding onto Chris Paddock. But in a redraft, Greg,

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.359
<v Speaker 1>are you really? Are you? Is that how you actually feel?

0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 1>You're just you're just riding it out and then if

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:33.760
<v Speaker 1>it comes, you know, once we get to July, August, September,

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>like they'll skip him a few times through the rotation,

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:40.919
<v Speaker 1>maybe just give him a phantom ay Elston and whatever.

0:23:40.960 --> 0:23:42.639
<v Speaker 1>You'll just take whatever you can get from him whenever

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 1>he starts, because right now you might be able to

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 1>turn him into a top twenty, top five starting pitcher

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 1>who maybe gives you a hundred and eighty innings. You're

0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:58.600
<v Speaker 1>not interested in that in all honesty, I look at

0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Chris Paddock and I think more along the lines of

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 1>what you were just saying the second half of your

0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:06.480
<v Speaker 1>statement that this team is contending. A team that is

0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 1>built to contend right now with Madame Machado and Eric

0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:12.000
<v Speaker 1>has right and it certainly the future as well, but

0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:13.359
<v Speaker 1>a team that has not been in the playoffs in

0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a long time. I want to win now. I know

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:19.679
<v Speaker 1>that the update with a hundreds maybe he winds him

0:24:19.680 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 1>in the bullpen at some point for the playoffs. But

0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't just don't think he just shuts down and

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:28.680
<v Speaker 1>goes away. They don't think that happens, And I think

0:24:28.760 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 1>down the stretch, I think he could. He'll wind up

0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:37.199
<v Speaker 1>contributing to your team. Do you think we could have

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 1>like a Walker Bueller situation on our hands here? Similarly,

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:44.480
<v Speaker 1>how last year he goes hundred and thirty seven but

0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:46.359
<v Speaker 1>then they kind of saved some of it for the playoffs.

0:24:46.359 --> 0:24:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Who he ends up going like even when the playoffs combined,

0:24:49.200 --> 0:24:52.240
<v Speaker 1>it was like a hundred and seventies something. You see

0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:56.280
<v Speaker 1>that as like a real situation for Chris Pattick. Well,

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that would put him right around one forty for the season,

0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and then then they'll say whatever else for if they

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 1>make the playoffs. Obviously, I mean, we've got a long

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 1>way to go for the baseball season. Maybe they're playing

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>like a wild card game. I would imagine he'd be

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the starting pitcher for that. A lot can change from

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.479
<v Speaker 1>now to the wild Card game in October. Right now,

0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>there is no doubt that Chris Paddock is the best

0:25:17.320 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 1>picture on the San Diego Padres. It's not even close.

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:21.399
<v Speaker 1>No it's not it's not close. I'm not doubt in

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the town. I am realizing how good he is. I mean,

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:27.159
<v Speaker 1>the guy was acstlutely nasty. He's only allowed one walk,

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:31.720
<v Speaker 1>or exactly one walk, in six of seven starts. His

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:34.440
<v Speaker 1>commanded is exactly what it was made out to be.

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 1>His fastball changeup combination is awesome. He has a twelve

0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:42.160
<v Speaker 1>to six curveball that he mixes in. He's absolutely legit.

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Just worry about the longevity of his season. Maybe maybe

0:25:47.880 --> 0:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>there's something that we come back to and maybe like

0:25:49.760 --> 0:25:52.320
<v Speaker 1>a month or two from now, but as we get

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>closer to that ending's limit, it's gonna be harder and

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.879
<v Speaker 1>trading away. You know what I just found out. By

0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the way, what another note as we continue on, Mike

0:26:00.280 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Florio still plays in an expit league. Oh no, this

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:06.440
<v Speaker 1>is how you roll your rise about something over there.

0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:09.000
<v Speaker 1>There is nothing to do with John Gray. This is

0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:11.600
<v Speaker 1>just he's he's an expit league, right Like there's something

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 1>that's just slain to the advanced metrics. They just don't

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 1>care about the results, and I think that's what Mike

0:26:15.040 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Florio is. You know, Sarah's tweeted out the picture who

0:26:19.200 --> 0:26:22.119
<v Speaker 1>were most projected to bounce backed. Based on Steamer. The

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:25.400
<v Speaker 1>number one picture is Corbyn Burns. Corn Burns is filthy, right.

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:29.200
<v Speaker 1>He also allows Homer Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer, Homer right,

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the option the miners that called back up what he do.

0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Homer's like this a lot. I stow stand by. The

0:26:36.080 --> 0:26:38.480
<v Speaker 1>corn burn stuff is absolutely filthy. It is filthy. But

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:44.639
<v Speaker 1>he sucks. That's all I got. Yeah, and he's not

0:26:44.800 --> 0:26:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean from a fantasy perspected to like they've already

0:26:46.840 --> 0:26:48.520
<v Speaker 1>said he's going to continue to be a reliever, like

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:50.400
<v Speaker 1>he's not gonna be a starting pitcher. So I mean,

0:26:51.200 --> 0:26:55.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he has nasty stuff. He does nasty, it's sick.

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 1>You got to wipe out. But he's not gonna translate.

0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It's because he sucks. It's probably gonna come at some point, Greg,

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:05.320
<v Speaker 1>But I mean just from a fantasy perspective, if you're

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:08.159
<v Speaker 1>looking down the line, obviously, like if someone if you

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:11.760
<v Speaker 1>could buy him low in dynasty, sure that's fine. And

0:27:11.920 --> 0:27:14.119
<v Speaker 1>like redraft, he's not gonna help you this year. I

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:16.399
<v Speaker 1>mean even as a reliever, maybe he'll get you some strikeouts,

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 1>but he does have a ar a. Greg got awful

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.879
<v Speaker 1>he does have the three seven Oh, he's got a

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:26.239
<v Speaker 1>forty eight percent home run the fly ball ratio. I mean,

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that's just insane. I know he he pitches in Miller Park,

0:27:29.359 --> 0:27:31.440
<v Speaker 1>but that's insane overall. I just don't think that he's

0:27:31.440 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna help you much this season. But what you play

0:27:33.640 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 1>in the Dynasty League, look to buy low. I do

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 1>think that he has good stuff, but you're right. I

0:27:40.280 --> 0:27:42.679
<v Speaker 1>mean the results have not shown that, and I I

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:44.879
<v Speaker 1>can't defend the results right now, but the underlying numbers

0:27:44.880 --> 0:27:47.600
<v Speaker 1>say that he should be better. Gram As I said,

0:27:47.600 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 1>it was very very good last night for a message.

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:51.719
<v Speaker 1>You got no help with the bat at all. Just

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:54.240
<v Speaker 1>four hits total four that's all night long, two which

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.000
<v Speaker 1>came up from the league. He was having like PTSD

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:59.480
<v Speaker 1>from last year. You know what, No, because I think

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:02.440
<v Speaker 1>he was just WinCE. I just think he was happy

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:05.120
<v Speaker 1>to pitch well again. He I mean, look at his

0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:06.679
<v Speaker 1>his past two starts. I mean he's a lot of

0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:08.760
<v Speaker 1>tour and runs over his last fourteen and he's pitched

0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:10.679
<v Speaker 1>over his last two starts. He had a bit of

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 1>a blow up on April against the Milwaukee Brewers. It's

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the Milwaukee Brewers and that was his first game coming

0:28:16.480 --> 0:28:20.399
<v Speaker 1>back from the flu. Whatever was going on in his

0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:23.760
<v Speaker 1>elbow basically, um so give him a pass for that one.

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:26.360
<v Speaker 1>But his past who starts, he's been pretty standard, Jacob

0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:29.479
<v Speaker 1>the Graham, Um how do you feel about him overall? Right? Now?

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you still have the elbow thing in the back

0:28:30.920 --> 0:28:33.479
<v Speaker 1>of your mind? If you're a Jacob gramowner, you know what,

0:28:33.520 --> 0:28:36.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't actually own the gun anywhere you need, and

0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have been a post to it. I would

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 1>have taken him in the main event. He didn't make

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it to me. You're the Mets fan. Is the elbow

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:44.840
<v Speaker 1>in your back of your mind every start? Um? No

0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:47.960
<v Speaker 1>matter who the picture is for, the Yobo is in

0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the back of my mind. Um No. He had a

0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 1>similar issue to the beginning of last year and then

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:56.240
<v Speaker 1>it proved to be Um So, no, I'm not really worried.

0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 1>If he says he's fine, he's fine, but I don't

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:01.920
<v Speaker 1>trust the Mets managing him if that's the real question. Alright,

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 1>So not really, he seems fine. So there you go. Martinos,

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:09.760
<v Speaker 1>as the resident Met fan here on the show, are

0:29:09.760 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you how concerned are you with Like, Yeah, I was

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.600
<v Speaker 1>just gonna say everything I was going without. One by one,

0:29:16.680 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I was like, all right, how are you by every

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:21.600
<v Speaker 1>one of them? I am concerned by everyone except Petlan's

0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:26.400
<v Speaker 1>own Conforto you well, yeah, um, I mean I understand

0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Pete's gonna go through some ups and downs as a rookie,

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, but Conforto is still a beast though. I mean,

0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:34.320
<v Speaker 1>when has this guy ever had protection in the lineup?

0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe when Cespitas was healthy. But I'm very worried about Cano.

0:29:38.440 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>He's been hit on the hand twice and he hasn't

0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:45.920
<v Speaker 1>rebounded from it at all. Um nimmos like an almost

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>an over thirty stretch. I mean, it's just really, it's

0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 1>just awful. It's just it's just like last year. Um,

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and I don't really see them turning it around at all.

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I would put Jeff McNeil in that category too, just

0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 1>so far this year. Squirrel, Yeah, I mean, his his

0:30:00.360 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>bat to ball skills. He doesn't strike out again, He's

0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:05.720
<v Speaker 1>a young Daniel Murphy, makes a lot of contact, goes

0:30:05.720 --> 0:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>two or four last night, uh three, fifty batting average

0:30:08.880 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 1>right now. I mean, this guy is gonna be a

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:14.240
<v Speaker 1>legitimate contributor for batting average. Outside of that, I don't

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 1>know that he's gonna do anything else, Like I don't

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 1>know that he has a lot of pop. I don't

0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 1>know that he has a lot of speed. But the

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:23.000
<v Speaker 1>batting average is gonna be there, and if he's leading off,

0:30:23.000 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna score runs. Uh. If you know, if these

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:27.840
<v Speaker 1>guys start to get going again, I mean Pete Alonzo

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 1>over four or three strikeouts, but again, I think they'll

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>be all right. I was very surprised to see come

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 1>back soon too, so maybe that's a boost. Where still

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:41.120
<v Speaker 1>they were talking about shortstop a little bit because Rosario

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.720
<v Speaker 1>has had like ten errors in the past, like six games. Yeah,

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I saw Hetcherea in the lineup last night and it

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 1>was like, why is this guy in the line I don't, well,

0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:52.400
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a lot of questions like, well, he does

0:30:52.440 --> 0:30:55.320
<v Speaker 1>play good defense, and I saw some Mets Pete writers

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:56.600
<v Speaker 1>sweeting about it last night. I think it was the

0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:59.280
<v Speaker 1>como he was saying hegel has made at least two

0:30:59.280 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 1>plays already to that I I question a Metrosario would

0:31:02.320 --> 0:31:04.240
<v Speaker 1>have made. So that's why he's in the lineup. They

0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 1>finally care about defense now. If they come back and

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 1>they put short then they clearly don't care about defense,

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:14.800
<v Speaker 1>which has been the case for a long time with

0:31:14.800 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the Mets. You would think they're kind of a team

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:19.000
<v Speaker 1>more built around their pitching staff obviously, like as good

0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 1>as they can be, you would think that they would

0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:24.720
<v Speaker 1>surround them with better defenders overall. But that has the

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 1>pitching staffs that can't hold on two runners on base,

0:31:27.680 --> 0:31:30.800
<v Speaker 1>like Noah, I mean, I mean it's just terrible. I

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 1>mean Wilson Ramos too, That's like, that's a guy who's

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 1>been awful. I think I own him in one league.

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he just hasn't been able to get the

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.880
<v Speaker 1>ball off the ground. There's been a bunch of groundballs too,

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:44.440
<v Speaker 1>can't throw anybody out, So I mean it's the same

0:31:44.480 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>old story. They haven't fixed any issues, so it's most

0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:49.080
<v Speaker 1>of the same stuff. But they have Peterlanzo man and

0:31:49.080 --> 0:31:51.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the only difference. Yeah, I would say I feel

0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:55.480
<v Speaker 1>bad for you and other Mets fans, uh, Martino, but

0:31:55.600 --> 0:31:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I'd be lying. In this San Diego game last night,

0:31:59.520 --> 0:32:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Kirby Yates needed the night off and I had also

0:32:01.680 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 1>blown the last couple of it was Craig Stammon getting

0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:07.280
<v Speaker 1>the four outstad coming in the eighth for Chris Pattick

0:32:07.280 --> 0:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>getting the out and staying in there in the ninth,

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Stammon's first saving out of the year. Curby rates job

0:32:12.080 --> 0:32:14.640
<v Speaker 1>is not in danger. But Frankie, if anything happens to

0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Curby Rates, it looks like stabbing is the handcuff. Yeah.

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't have my updated closer tracker coming out these

0:32:20.360 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 1>next couple of days on my Patreon account ding, but yeah,

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.840
<v Speaker 1>basically do who's the closer for each team? Who's the handcuff,

0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 1>who's the next man up? And then who's like the

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 1>next man up after that? If you want to get

0:32:31.320 --> 0:32:33.440
<v Speaker 1>real deep and just to have an idea. So I

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 1>think Craig Stammon is unquestionably the next man up. I've

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 1>had him as that all season long. Uh, the strikeouts

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:41.800
<v Speaker 1>haven't been there this year for Stammon, but he hasn't

0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 1>been walking anybody. He's got two seven five e r A,

0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:46.840
<v Speaker 1>he's got three six seven x fips, so overall it's

0:32:46.880 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>getting fifty ground balls. If anything were to happen to Yates,

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:53.240
<v Speaker 1>who's been, you know, one of the three five best

0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 1>closers in Fantasy so far this year, I think Craig

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Stammon would be the next man up. Speaking of closers,

0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 1>let me it out to Los Angeles where the Dodgers

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:06.959
<v Speaker 1>takes up a victory against the Atlanta Braves. As Walker

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Bueller goes seven innings five it's three runs, eight strikeouts.

0:33:10.560 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Would you think of Buller's performance? I have cautious optimism here, Greg,

0:33:16.280 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 1>and here is here's why I'll say it. I love

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:20.520
<v Speaker 1>that he didn't walk anyone yesterday because we've seen a

0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:22.680
<v Speaker 1>few random starts. This here where he struggled with command,

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and that's not usually something that Walker Bueller struggles with.

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:27.920
<v Speaker 1>He does give up two home runs yesterday, once to

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Freddy Freeman, once to Mark Cacus. Those came later on

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 1>in the game, you know, third time through the lineup.

0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:35.440
<v Speaker 1>That was Freeman in the sixth, that was Mark Cacas

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:39.120
<v Speaker 1>in the seventh. Overall, I was impressed with what I saw.

0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:42.560
<v Speaker 1>He had a strikeouts that was a season high for

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Walker Buler. He goes seven innings. But here's why I

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:54.240
<v Speaker 1>say cautious, Greg. He through se or seemed fastballs. He

0:33:54.280 --> 0:33:58.240
<v Speaker 1>had a hundred pitches and through seventy five fastballs. I'll

0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:00.840
<v Speaker 1>throw this your way because this is my thinking and

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:05.640
<v Speaker 1>this is just me being speculative, another conspiracy theory, if

0:34:05.640 --> 0:34:09.759
<v Speaker 1>you will, why is he shying away from throwing breaking balls, Gregg,

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>That's what I want to know, and I'll keep going

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:14.880
<v Speaker 1>back to what we heard in spring training. He was

0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:18.120
<v Speaker 1>dealing with dead arm, something in his arm. It didn't

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 1>feel right. He was going with what was working last night.

0:34:22.280 --> 0:34:27.120
<v Speaker 1>That's fine fastballs. Yet thirteen swinging strikes overall on hundred pitches.

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 1>It was his best start. He was establishing the fast

0:34:30.120 --> 0:34:32.879
<v Speaker 1>the strike zone. I read about it afterwards. Dave Robert said,

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:34.480
<v Speaker 1>this was my design. Is what we wanted to do.

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:37.000
<v Speaker 1>We wanted him to establish the fastball. We wanted to

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 1>see good command of the fastball, and that's exactly what

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:42.000
<v Speaker 1>we saw. But I will just store out there Greg

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 1>that I am, ever so slightly worried that he isn't

0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:50.759
<v Speaker 1>throwing as many breaking pitches this year, and it might

0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 1>have something to do with the arm. I'll just store

0:34:53.160 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 1>it out there. So my answer to last night was

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you talked about how he has struggled this year, how

0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:04.879
<v Speaker 1>you haven't been confident in him. I think he had

0:35:04.880 --> 0:35:07.800
<v Speaker 1>a game plan. I'm just going to work my fastball

0:35:07.880 --> 0:35:13.399
<v Speaker 1>in more that I have get that confidence and if

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:15.239
<v Speaker 1>it's working, awesome. If it's not, I'll go back and

0:35:15.280 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to throw the junk. And last night, for the

0:35:18.080 --> 0:35:22.200
<v Speaker 1>most part, very successful with those seventy five fastballs. I

0:35:22.239 --> 0:35:24.840
<v Speaker 1>think as the field gets better, he'll go back to

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:28.279
<v Speaker 1>the breaking ball. I think last night isn't necessarily a

0:35:28.360 --> 0:35:32.879
<v Speaker 1>sign a major sign to come. But I'm not discouraged

0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:36.880
<v Speaker 1>by the thought by the start, and we're encouraged by

0:35:36.920 --> 0:35:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the start. Yeah, I like it overall too because I

0:35:40.040 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want to sound like I'm downplaying it. This is

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:45.200
<v Speaker 1>another great start that you needed to see from Walker Bueller.

0:35:45.680 --> 0:35:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Of course, you would have liked to not see the

0:35:47.760 --> 0:35:49.400
<v Speaker 1>home runs late in the start, but again it was

0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:51.399
<v Speaker 1>the third time through the lineup. He still went deep

0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:53.560
<v Speaker 1>into this game. He through a hundred pitches, seven innings,

0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:56.120
<v Speaker 1>eight strikeouts. It was overall very good start and didn't

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:57.520
<v Speaker 1>walk anyone. So I like it. I don't want to

0:35:57.560 --> 0:36:00.480
<v Speaker 1>downplay it too much, but I want to see moving

0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>forward because overall this season, Gregg he hasn't really been

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:05.200
<v Speaker 1>using his breaking stuff as much he's used he is

0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:09.200
<v Speaker 1>strowing more fastballs. He was starting about like sixty fast

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:15.960
<v Speaker 1>fastballs coming into the start. Well of his pitches in

0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:19.080
<v Speaker 1>the start, we're fourcing fastballs. It did work for him.

0:36:19.360 --> 0:36:21.040
<v Speaker 1>It's something that I'm going to pay attention to. I'll

0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:24.800
<v Speaker 1>just I'll throw it out there. I have cautious optimism

0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:27.680
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to walk with me. Let's take a break.

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:29.279

<v Speaker 1>I've always been a fan that is all class because

0:38:11.400 --> 0:38:12.880
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have to do stuff like that. That's what

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:15.440
<v Speaker 1>separates good guys in the league and little kids. Imagine

<v Speaker 1>Experts dot com. So Kelly Jensen had the night off

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:10.839
<v Speaker 1>last night, Frank, which led to a different Dodger. You're

0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:13.200
<v Speaker 1>getting the save and he might have thought you would

0:39:13.239 --> 0:39:15.960
<v Speaker 1>see her bias in there in the ninth, but he

0:39:16.000 --> 0:39:20.080
<v Speaker 1>pitched the eighth United the ga his first career saves.

0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Julio Urios the clean an astruck out one his first

0:39:25.040 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>career save. If anything happens to Kelly Jensen. Do you

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:32.800
<v Speaker 1>believe Youuriosity the guy? It's a situation to pay attention

0:39:32.840 --> 0:39:36.840
<v Speaker 1>to moving forward. Everyone Joe Kelly has been an adject

0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:39.719
<v Speaker 1>failure in this bullpen so far this year. I think

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:44.680
<v Speaker 1>they like Pairebias more as a set up guy too,

0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and he struggled with giving up home runs in the

0:39:47.440 --> 0:39:51.120
<v Speaker 1>past too, So there's not a lot of talent here

0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:53.520
<v Speaker 1>in the back end overall, or at least guys haven't

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:57.080
<v Speaker 1>shown up. Um. Dylan Floro is another one who's performed

0:39:57.120 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 1>well thus far but doesn't really have closing experience. I

0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 1>think Urias would be in the mix. Maybe it would

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:05.120
<v Speaker 1>be a thing where they where they play matchups. Maybe

0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:06.319
<v Speaker 1>it would be a little bit of him, a little

0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:08.840
<v Speaker 1>bit of Pedro Bayez based on who's coming up in

0:40:08.880 --> 0:40:11.799
<v Speaker 1>the ninth. But it was it was definitely interesting to

0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:14.440
<v Speaker 1>see you, you you know, Walker Bueler handed off to Tobias,

0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:18.160
<v Speaker 1>then handed off to Julio Urias. So getting major contributions

0:40:18.160 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 1>from their young players here are the Dodgers. But it's

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>not like Urias can't handle it. He's got thirty one

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:25.880
<v Speaker 1>strikeouts and twenty five and the third and he's pitched

0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:29.520
<v Speaker 1>so far this year on batting average against. We all

0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:31.880
<v Speaker 1>saw Kenley Jansen get bombed on Sunday, gave up the

0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Grand Slam to Hunter Renfro, which really has inflated his

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:37.480
<v Speaker 1>e r A. He still has twelve saves and in

0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:41.040
<v Speaker 1>fourteen save opportunities. It's not the same picture that he

0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:42.799
<v Speaker 1>has been in years past, where he was like the

0:40:42.920 --> 0:40:45.279
<v Speaker 1>number one closer off the board going in the third

0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:47.680
<v Speaker 1>or fourth round as lights out as he has been

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:51.280
<v Speaker 1>going back to last year I think, um it was seventeen.

0:40:51.320 --> 0:40:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Going as deep into the postseason as he did, then

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:55.279
<v Speaker 1>he kind of messed him up. He's been doing that

0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:57.440
<v Speaker 1>for so long. He's just not the same picture that

0:40:57.480 --> 0:41:00.840
<v Speaker 1>he once was. But overall, he still has been pretty

0:41:00.840 --> 0:41:03.879
<v Speaker 1>good thus far this season. Um, but I think it's

0:41:03.880 --> 0:41:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a fair question now that we see who are your

0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:07.000
<v Speaker 1>eyes getting the mix? So if anything were to happen

0:41:07.040 --> 0:41:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to Kelly Jansen, I think it would be a mixing

0:41:09.239 --> 0:41:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Maxing Greg mix and match is usually what it turns

0:41:14.480 --> 0:41:18.799
<v Speaker 1>into in these bullpens. When the closer goes down, you're

0:41:18.880 --> 0:41:20.319
<v Speaker 1>asked will be a part of that. But he could

0:41:20.320 --> 0:41:22.960
<v Speaker 1>also get back into their starting rotation. Although I have

0:41:22.960 --> 0:41:25.640
<v Speaker 1>a feeling ros stripling will be probably the next guy

0:41:25.719 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 1>up if there is an injury in that Dodgers rotation.

0:41:28.880 --> 0:41:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Chris Taylor at his third steel last night. As you

0:41:30.920 --> 0:41:33.040
<v Speaker 1>mentioned earlier in the program, Frank, you got a little

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>bit of hot as of late two or four last night.

0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:36.719
<v Speaker 1>A couple of r B I. Uh, Batty average is

0:41:36.719 --> 0:41:40.080
<v Speaker 1>still to thirty one. Oh, he still sits under three hundred.

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.520
<v Speaker 1>But Taylor has been a little bit hotter as of late.

0:41:42.920 --> 0:41:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Any injuries in him, and if so, how much, I

0:41:45.920 --> 0:41:50.160
<v Speaker 1>would say in a head to head daily league where

0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you can set your lineup and get him in there

0:41:51.640 --> 0:41:53.719
<v Speaker 1>whenever he's in the lineup, I think that makes a

0:41:53.719 --> 0:41:57.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of sense. If any in any deeper leagues, anything

0:41:57.320 --> 0:41:59.839
<v Speaker 1>deeper than twelve teams, like for me twelve teamers. I'm

0:41:59.840 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 1>not there yet with him, Greg, because I still do

0:42:02.040 --> 0:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>have some questions about the playing time. But again, head

0:42:06.000 --> 0:42:07.759
<v Speaker 1>to head daily leagues where you could set your line up,

0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you could just get him in there whenever he plays,

0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:12.120
<v Speaker 1>or anything deeper than the twelve fourteen teams are deeper.

0:42:12.160 --> 0:42:14.359
<v Speaker 1>If he was out there, if he was dropped, he

0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:19.000
<v Speaker 1>is only owned in well. I wish I could tell

0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:27.759
<v Speaker 1>you Greg, actually, Uh, he's his name is Taylor. He's

0:42:28.640 --> 0:42:32.040
<v Speaker 1>so not a lot of people still overall holding onto

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:34.440
<v Speaker 1>uh to Chris Taylor. Here. I thought he would be

0:42:34.440 --> 0:42:37.120
<v Speaker 1>owned in a little bit of a little bit less

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:38.400
<v Speaker 1>than that Greg. But he is hot. I mean, it

0:42:38.480 --> 0:42:40.680
<v Speaker 1>just tells you how slow was already got off too.

0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Even with how hot he has been been, He's still

0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:45.040
<v Speaker 1>only hitting two thirty over the past two weeks A

0:42:45.160 --> 0:42:49.720
<v Speaker 1>three sixteen batting average PS, two home runs, eleven ribbies,

0:42:49.760 --> 0:42:52.840
<v Speaker 1>two stolen bases, five runs scored. I kind of like

0:42:52.920 --> 0:42:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Chris Taylor coming into the year. Um that was before

0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:57.359
<v Speaker 1>we knew that he gat Hernandez was going to take

0:42:57.360 --> 0:42:59.560
<v Speaker 1>over as the starting second baseman, just because I thought

0:42:59.600 --> 0:43:02.439
<v Speaker 1>it was cheap exposure to the Dodgers lineup. He has

0:43:02.480 --> 0:43:05.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a power speed combination. He has

0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:08.640
<v Speaker 1>played each of their past six games, so it is

0:43:08.680 --> 0:43:11.319
<v Speaker 1>something to pay attention to. Head to head capital head

0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:15.759
<v Speaker 1>to head daily leagues, and deeper than twelve teams. I

0:43:15.760 --> 0:43:17.960
<v Speaker 1>would be looking for him right now, but both teams.

0:43:18.000 --> 0:43:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not there yet. Great already twelve teamers. Not yet

0:43:21.200 --> 0:43:25.399
<v Speaker 1>for Chris Taylor. You had Ozzie Alvis still his fourth

0:43:25.440 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 1>base of the year, Dancy Swanson. He's double played partner

0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:30.920
<v Speaker 1>still his third base of the year. Uh Swanson last

0:43:31.000 --> 0:43:34.040
<v Speaker 1>night was betting six one for three, betting two sixty three.

0:43:34.320 --> 0:43:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned going into the break Frank that I wanted

0:43:36.719 --> 0:43:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to mention I wanted to mention John Means. And what

0:43:42.360 --> 0:43:44.520
<v Speaker 1>John Means was. Now, I don't know if it was you,

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:46.600
<v Speaker 1>guys or somebody else on Twitter, to be honest with you,

0:43:46.640 --> 0:43:48.799
<v Speaker 1>that said hey, and he interested in John Means. This

0:43:48.840 --> 0:43:51.880
<v Speaker 1>is last week. I'm like, no, I don't have interest

0:43:51.880 --> 0:43:56.400
<v Speaker 1>in John Means. And then last night at home against Boston,

0:43:57.160 --> 0:44:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the inspens really really well the finale and was seven innings,

0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:04.320
<v Speaker 1>three hits, one run, He walked nobody and he struck

0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:06.279
<v Speaker 1>out four. His season ear a sits at two point

0:44:06.360 --> 0:44:09.680
<v Speaker 1>four eight. Josh Smith pitch for Boston. Nothing to see there.

0:44:10.320 --> 0:44:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Boel Gibbon's got his fourth save and clearly solidified himself

0:44:13.960 --> 0:44:15.640
<v Speaker 1>after a rough start as a close because we went

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:17.800
<v Speaker 1>with a month without a save. But he's the closer

0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 1>out there in Baltimore. But more importantly, Frank, talk to

0:44:21.719 --> 0:44:24.479
<v Speaker 1>me about John Means, who now sits at four and three.

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:28.279
<v Speaker 1>He started this season in the bullpen as recently as

0:44:29.800 --> 0:44:32.319
<v Speaker 1>two three weeks ago. He's in the bullpen. Now, he's

0:44:32.640 --> 0:44:35.080
<v Speaker 1>very firmly entrenched in the rotation. He said, I believe

0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:38.239
<v Speaker 1>his last three starts win five innings, four hits, one run,

0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:41.760
<v Speaker 1>struck out six started after that, both against Chicago Whites.

0:44:41.760 --> 0:44:43.640
<v Speaker 1>The White Sox by the way, five innings, six hits,

0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:46.160
<v Speaker 1>four runs to homer and only struck out two. And

0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:48.040
<v Speaker 1>then last night against Boston, I gave you the line

0:44:48.040 --> 0:44:52.120
<v Speaker 1>he had eleven ground ball outs. Frank, what do you

0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:55.000
<v Speaker 1>know about John Means? So I started looking into him

0:44:55.080 --> 0:44:57.000
<v Speaker 1>last night once I saw his line as well. I mean,

0:44:57.000 --> 0:45:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you just can't ignore going seven innings pitched only one

0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:07.480
<v Speaker 1>earned run against the Boston Red Sox. It's not Boston Celtics, Greig.

0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 1>But I'll do you one further. You you mentioned his

0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:12.759
<v Speaker 1>last three starts, his last four starts, two against the

0:45:12.800 --> 0:45:15.360
<v Speaker 1>White Sox, two against the Red Sox twenty two and

0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:19.040
<v Speaker 1>pits seven earned runs, only fifteen strikeouts, only three walks

0:45:19.080 --> 0:45:21.640
<v Speaker 1>as well, though over a four star stretch as a

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:25.120
<v Speaker 1>two point eight six e r A, the underlying numbers

0:45:25.120 --> 0:45:28.560
<v Speaker 1>for John Means are not I popping. To say the least,

0:45:28.600 --> 0:45:30.000
<v Speaker 1>He's got a two point four e E r A.

0:45:30.160 --> 0:45:32.319
<v Speaker 1>His X fit is four point four three. He does

0:45:32.400 --> 0:45:35.520
<v Speaker 1>get groundballs, as you mentioned, forty percent at the time, uh.

0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:39.600
<v Speaker 1>The swinging strike rate above average as well well above

0:45:39.640 --> 0:45:43.000
<v Speaker 1>average almost fourteen per cent. I do have some interest

0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:46.680
<v Speaker 1>in deeper leagues. If you wanted to take a shot

0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:49.319
<v Speaker 1>on John Means over like a Merrill Kelly. Sure. I mean,

0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 1>he's still gonna have a lot of starts against teams

0:45:51.120 --> 0:45:52.880
<v Speaker 1>in the American League East. He doesn't pitch in a

0:45:52.880 --> 0:45:55.320
<v Speaker 1>great ballpark in Camneen Yards, but he's gonna continue to

0:45:55.320 --> 0:45:57.360
<v Speaker 1>get an opportunity because the Orioles pitching staff is just

0:45:57.400 --> 0:46:00.480
<v Speaker 1>really bad. So as long as he's getting that opportunity,

0:46:00.480 --> 0:46:02.000
<v Speaker 1>and as long as he's pitching pretty well again at

0:46:02.000 --> 0:46:05.200
<v Speaker 1>two point over his last four, you can take a shot.

0:46:05.239 --> 0:46:06.719
<v Speaker 1>But I do think that there is gonna be some

0:46:06.760 --> 0:46:09.080
<v Speaker 1>regression the division that he plays in, the ballpark that

0:46:09.080 --> 0:46:12.239
<v Speaker 1>he pitches in. It's just it doesn't all really add

0:46:12.280 --> 0:46:16.200
<v Speaker 1>up to being fantasy viable Greg overall. But if you

0:46:16.239 --> 0:46:18.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted to take a shot while he's pitching well, dropped

0:46:18.000 --> 0:46:19.680
<v Speaker 1>like a Merrill Kelly for him, I don't have a

0:46:19.719 --> 0:46:22.479
<v Speaker 1>problem with it. John Means his second start this week.

0:46:22.560 --> 0:46:26.040
<v Speaker 1>He's on Sunday at home against the Angels. Meryll Kelly,

0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:27.759
<v Speaker 1>who's the example you gave the second start this week

0:46:27.760 --> 0:46:31.959
<v Speaker 1>against against the Braves. Who would you rather start? Means?

0:46:32.000 --> 0:46:35.400
<v Speaker 1>People start means okay? Yeah. The Braves overall this season

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:38.719
<v Speaker 1>have been still a pretty good lineup. The Angels up

0:46:38.719 --> 0:46:41.919
<v Speaker 1>and down a little bit inconsistent outside of Mike Trial.

0:46:41.920 --> 0:46:44.879
<v Speaker 1>You don't really worry about much there. Um, I'll take

0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:47.319
<v Speaker 1>John Means. Okay, So John Means will be your guy

0:46:47.800 --> 0:46:50.879
<v Speaker 1>in that scenario. As we said, Baltimore won this one

0:46:51.040 --> 0:46:53.520
<v Speaker 1>four to one. All of their runs come on a

0:46:53.640 --> 0:46:57.239
<v Speaker 1>grand slam by Jonathan VR four VR. It was his

0:46:57.360 --> 0:47:00.960
<v Speaker 1>fourth homer of the season. Um the hit that he had,

0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:03.440
<v Speaker 1>Um and that was kind of it was a big

0:47:03.480 --> 0:47:07.680
<v Speaker 1>blow for Baltimore. No other runs were scored. Speaking of

0:47:07.760 --> 0:47:10.680
<v Speaker 1>pitching and guys that you liked, Frank Martine Perez went

0:47:10.719 --> 0:47:15.840
<v Speaker 1>into Toronto and that was the reaction that we just got.

0:47:16.080 --> 0:47:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Martine Pere has seven innings, two hits, walked to but

0:47:18.960 --> 0:47:21.880
<v Speaker 1>he struck out nine. Allow you can know Ronsin's a

0:47:21.880 --> 0:47:26.520
<v Speaker 1>crossed the board for Toronto yesterday. Martin Perez now improved

0:47:26.520 --> 0:47:29.879
<v Speaker 1>to five and oh on the season, Greggy, give me

0:47:29.960 --> 0:47:32.560
<v Speaker 1>all the Martine Perez. I know it was against the

0:47:32.600 --> 0:47:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Toronto Blue Jays. They are a very cold lineup right now. Um,

0:47:36.840 --> 0:47:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought he used cold lineup and not bad lineup.

0:47:39.880 --> 0:47:42.600
<v Speaker 1>They're cold because I assume that they're gonna get better.

0:47:43.000 --> 0:47:45.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is Viao mcguar gonna be this bad all

0:47:45.320 --> 0:47:47.399
<v Speaker 1>season long? No, but everybody else will. Everybody else will

0:47:47.440 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 1>probably be Come on, don't say that when you're leading it,

0:47:50.239 --> 0:47:53.800
<v Speaker 1>when your top three hitters or Eric so guard Ferreddi

0:47:53.880 --> 0:47:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Galvi's and Randall grit Chick. I don't expect much. I

0:47:57.880 --> 0:48:00.879
<v Speaker 1>don't care what their averages are this season. M any

0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:04.840
<v Speaker 1>doon't expect much. But the reinforcements are coming great, not

0:48:04.960 --> 0:48:08.240
<v Speaker 1>that soon. Frankie Gavon video is mashing in the miners

0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:11.759
<v Speaker 1>right now. We'll see, we shall see. I think that

0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the Toronto Blue Jays line up will get better. There

0:48:13.880 --> 0:48:15.400
<v Speaker 1>have been a team that you could take advantage of.

0:48:15.440 --> 0:48:17.360
<v Speaker 1>They swing and miss a lot, they strike out a lot,

0:48:17.719 --> 0:48:20.279
<v Speaker 1>and Martine Perez showed that off last night. He was

0:48:21.160 --> 0:48:24.960
<v Speaker 1>absolutely awesome. Greg Um, you know, he had the seven

0:48:26.000 --> 0:48:28.200
<v Speaker 1>seven shout out and he's here only two hits, two walks,

0:48:28.360 --> 0:48:32.000
<v Speaker 1>nine strikeouts. The nine strikeouts were tied the career high.

0:48:32.000 --> 0:48:33.920
<v Speaker 1>They're obviously a season high him as well. He's now

0:48:33.960 --> 0:48:35.719
<v Speaker 1>five and now he's got a two point eight three

0:48:35.760 --> 0:48:38.600
<v Speaker 1>e r A, get fifteen swinging strikes on a hundred

0:48:38.600 --> 0:48:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and two pitches. Greg I thought it was interesting he

0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:43.360
<v Speaker 1>threw his change up twenty six times. That was a

0:48:43.400 --> 0:48:46.040
<v Speaker 1>season high for him, get five swinging strikes on that

0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:48.440
<v Speaker 1>change up. So he's doing things a little bit differently

0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:50.960
<v Speaker 1>this year. I think it's an additioned by subtraction from

0:48:51.000 --> 0:48:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Martine Perez because his fastball, according to pitch values on

0:48:54.600 --> 0:48:56.719
<v Speaker 1>fan grafts, has been a very bad pitch the past

0:48:56.760 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, and now he's adopted this cutter that

0:48:59.000 --> 0:49:01.920
<v Speaker 1>he's throwing about, you know, thirty five percent of the

0:49:01.920 --> 0:49:03.920
<v Speaker 1>time this year. So I think the fact that he's

0:49:04.000 --> 0:49:06.400
<v Speaker 1>using his fourcing fastball lesson using his cutter more and

0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:08.680
<v Speaker 1>starting to to integrate a change up to now that

0:49:08.719 --> 0:49:12.960
<v Speaker 1>he's using um, I'm intrigued. I'm really buying in. It's

0:49:13.000 --> 0:49:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the increased velocity from Martine Perez as well. His last

0:49:15.680 --> 0:49:20.080
<v Speaker 1>three starts twenty one innings pitched, twelve hits, four walks,

0:49:20.160 --> 0:49:25.160
<v Speaker 1>one earned run, twenty strikeouts. Greg, I'm all in, all in,

0:49:25.600 --> 0:49:29.600
<v Speaker 1>all in on Martinez, all in on Marty Perez. In

0:49:29.680 --> 0:49:32.480
<v Speaker 1>our own Frankie Stan I would drop Meryl Kelly for him.

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I could. I could probably find some other starting pitchers

0:49:36.080 --> 0:49:37.919
<v Speaker 1>that I would drop for him to he he needs

0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to be owned. I agree at this point Morton Perez

0:49:40.520 --> 0:49:42.600
<v Speaker 1>has done enough that he has to be owned. He

0:49:42.640 --> 0:49:46.400
<v Speaker 1>should be own. Pick him up. You gotta pick him up.

0:49:46.440 --> 0:49:48.879
<v Speaker 1>He's got the second start this week as well, Yes

0:49:48.880 --> 0:49:52.520
<v Speaker 1>he does. That's part of the reason we were trying

0:49:52.480 --> 0:49:54.040
<v Speaker 1>to get on him. We spoke about him yesterday with

0:49:54.080 --> 0:49:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Modica too. I'm looking at the most dropped players in

0:49:56.640 --> 0:49:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Yahoo right now. Vince Velaska has gone. I would drop

0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:03.040
<v Speaker 1>him until of Martine Perez as well. Kevin Gausman, the

0:50:03.080 --> 0:50:06.399
<v Speaker 1>gas man, more like the gas can. He's gone from

0:50:06.440 --> 0:50:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Martine Perez, Carlos Rodan, He's who knows what's going on

0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:12.080
<v Speaker 1>with him. He's about to have Tommy John surgery. He's gone.

0:50:12.640 --> 0:50:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Um Felix turning. Why was Felix changing his own in

0:50:15.400 --> 0:50:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the first place. I know he has two starts, but

0:50:17.200 --> 0:50:19.399
<v Speaker 1>come on, that guy's like a shell of his former self.

0:50:19.400 --> 0:50:21.759
<v Speaker 1>He shouldn't have even been on your team. Gone through Palm,

0:50:21.840 --> 0:50:26.160
<v Speaker 1>RAN's gone, Jeff some margin gone, Kyle Freeland gone, an

0:50:26.200 --> 0:50:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Indiscofani I like to but gone. Look he's gone all

0:50:31.760 --> 0:50:35.279
<v Speaker 1>gone from Martine Perez. He's the guy, He's the top

0:50:35.280 --> 0:50:38.279
<v Speaker 1>pictures that needs to be added right now. I hope

0:50:38.280 --> 0:50:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I got two to everyone, Greg, I'm all in, I'm

0:50:43.920 --> 0:50:46.759
<v Speaker 1>all in. You know a lot of phrases I never

0:50:46.800 --> 0:50:49.279
<v Speaker 1>thought that I would say, are happening this year Greg

0:50:49.760 --> 0:50:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and being being excited about Martine Perez saying I'm all in.

0:50:52.920 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 1>A Martine Perez has to be at the top of

0:50:56.560 --> 0:50:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the list or the top grade. I never thought i'd say.

0:50:59.280 --> 0:51:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Never's on. Marty Tweaky your twinkies eight, Marty, Marty. Marcus

0:51:04.760 --> 0:51:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Struman dropped to one in five last night. The ear

0:51:07.360 --> 0:51:10.080
<v Speaker 1>a sistance under three. A little regression alert here, uh

0:51:10.200 --> 0:51:13.200
<v Speaker 1>six runs allowed, five of them were earned, two walks,

0:51:13.320 --> 0:51:18.120
<v Speaker 1>two k's eight hits against the ferocious Twins lineup, the

0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:20.279
<v Speaker 1>ferocious This is now two starts in a row. Now

0:51:20.320 --> 0:51:22.160
<v Speaker 1>for Marcus Stroman that we're starting to see a little

0:51:22.160 --> 0:51:24.960
<v Speaker 1>bit of regression. But he wasn't going to pitch to

0:51:25.120 --> 0:51:27.200
<v Speaker 1>the sub one or sub two ear A that he

0:51:27.239 --> 0:51:31.880
<v Speaker 1>had all season long. We knew that Uh still struggles

0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:35.000
<v Speaker 1>with getting swings and misses, filthy walks too many guys

0:51:35.040 --> 0:51:37.920
<v Speaker 1>at times. Uh finally allowed his first home run last night,

0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and not only did he allow his first, he allowed

0:51:39.360 --> 0:51:41.319
<v Speaker 1>his second. He allowed to home runs last night too,

0:51:41.360 --> 0:51:45.719
<v Speaker 1>So there was gonna be some regression coming for Marcus Stroman. Still.

0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Overall in the season, greggy, he's been very good. He's

0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:49.399
<v Speaker 1>got a two point nine six ear A, but three

0:51:49.440 --> 0:51:52.839
<v Speaker 1>point five five walks for nine. It's just he has

0:51:52.840 --> 0:51:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of movement on his pitches and I think

0:51:54.440 --> 0:51:57.200
<v Speaker 1>at times he doesn't know where they're going to go.

0:51:57.280 --> 0:52:00.160
<v Speaker 1>As well. He has has he struggles with the strike

0:52:00.239 --> 0:52:02.880
<v Speaker 1>zone at times, but he just doesn't strike out enough

0:52:03.040 --> 0:52:05.400
<v Speaker 1>batters to mitigate his walks. Has always kind of been

0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:07.520
<v Speaker 1>an issue for him. He's able to wiggle out of

0:52:07.520 --> 0:52:10.960
<v Speaker 1>it at times because he has the fifty percent groundball right,

0:52:11.000 --> 0:52:13.600
<v Speaker 1>so he gets a lot of double playballs, but doesn't

0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:15.800
<v Speaker 1>really have a good defense behind him. To Vladi mcgurero

0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:18.440
<v Speaker 1>is not going to help out that defense, so overall

0:52:18.880 --> 0:52:21.000
<v Speaker 1>he's going to continue to regress. He's got a two

0:52:21.080 --> 0:52:23.160
<v Speaker 1>nine six ar A. He's got a three nine six

0:52:23.280 --> 0:52:27.560
<v Speaker 1>x fit. I would probably bet on him landing closer

0:52:27.600 --> 0:52:29.839
<v Speaker 1>to that x fit. I think he's probably more so

0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:33.759
<v Speaker 1>three seven three e r A pictures just because of

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:36.759
<v Speaker 1>where he pitches the defense behind him. The American League

0:52:36.719 --> 0:52:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Geese as well, the Yankees are hopefully gonna get healthy

0:52:40.320 --> 0:52:42.840
<v Speaker 1>at some point. The Red Sox offense is going to

0:52:42.880 --> 0:52:45.279
<v Speaker 1>bounce back. So there there's gonna continue to be some

0:52:45.280 --> 0:52:48.360
<v Speaker 1>more regression for Marcus Stroman. That doesn't mean drop him,

0:52:48.560 --> 0:52:50.959
<v Speaker 1>but he's just not gonna put up the same numbers

0:52:51.000 --> 0:52:53.160
<v Speaker 1>that he was early on in the season. Gree More. Yeah,

0:52:53.200 --> 0:52:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Stroman, you can't drop him unfortunately, as you mentioned,

0:52:56.800 --> 0:53:02.000
<v Speaker 1>but maybe Coastle was coming. Yeah. No, Well, a lot

0:53:02.040 --> 0:53:03.920
<v Speaker 1>of people like Marcus Stroman. You know, they've seen what

0:53:03.960 --> 0:53:06.080
<v Speaker 1>he's done in like the World Baseball Classic the past

0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:08.680
<v Speaker 1>couple of years. He's a fiery dude. Uh. You know,

0:53:08.840 --> 0:53:11.719
<v Speaker 1>people are attracted to his personality, greg, the way he

0:53:11.760 --> 0:53:14.839
<v Speaker 1>carries himself on act. He's a fun guy to watch,

0:53:14.920 --> 0:53:16.239
<v Speaker 1>so I think that's why he might get a little

0:53:16.239 --> 0:53:19.319
<v Speaker 1>bit overrated at time. You fancy and I've I've been

0:53:19.360 --> 0:53:21.520
<v Speaker 1>a Marcus Stroman supporter in the past, but I think

0:53:21.520 --> 0:53:22.960
<v Speaker 1>we have too much of a sample size now. I

0:53:22.960 --> 0:53:25.439
<v Speaker 1>think he has really good stuff. You watch him pitch,

0:53:25.560 --> 0:53:28.960
<v Speaker 1>but for whatever reason there are, he's just not consistent enough.

0:53:29.000 --> 0:53:33.200
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't put it together altogether enough for me. I

0:53:33.239 --> 0:53:35.759
<v Speaker 1>think if you were able to harness all of the

0:53:35.800 --> 0:53:38.759
<v Speaker 1>talent that he has on a more consistent basis, then

0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:41.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe potentially he would be a top thirties

0:53:41.840 --> 0:53:43.879
<v Speaker 1>starting pitcher for a fantasy purpose, and he'd be able

0:53:43.880 --> 0:53:45.440
<v Speaker 1>to help out the Blue Jays a little bit more.

0:53:45.680 --> 0:53:47.479
<v Speaker 1>Now there's a chance that he gets traded. They've already

0:53:47.520 --> 0:53:50.360
<v Speaker 1>talked about that. There was a report from and Rosenthal

0:53:50.400 --> 0:53:52.759
<v Speaker 1>over the past couple of weeks that the Blue Jays

0:53:52.800 --> 0:53:55.200
<v Speaker 1>are gonna be fire sailing anyone who's over the age

0:53:55.200 --> 0:53:58.560
<v Speaker 1>of twenty five basically, so that would include Marcus Stroman.

0:53:58.880 --> 0:54:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he's talented, but for whatever reason, Greg, he's

0:54:01.480 --> 0:54:05.800
<v Speaker 1>never been able to put everything together on a consistent basis. Nope,

0:54:05.880 --> 0:54:09.560
<v Speaker 1>hes very very frustrating for Minnesota. Though. I wanted to

0:54:09.600 --> 0:54:14.160
<v Speaker 1>have a conversation here on Hoy Polanco because he had

0:54:14.160 --> 0:54:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the seventh whole run last night. I mentioned previously at

0:54:17.200 --> 0:54:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of the season, I thought Eddi Rosarios was

0:54:19.000 --> 0:54:22.520
<v Speaker 1>underappreciated player in baseball, like Polanco might kind of hold

0:54:22.560 --> 0:54:24.759
<v Speaker 1>that mantel now Yea, So we actually had a question

0:54:24.760 --> 0:54:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Greg and I feel like it's a good time to

0:54:26.200 --> 0:54:28.520
<v Speaker 1>talk about this. We just spoke about Jonathan VR as

0:54:28.520 --> 0:54:31.400
<v Speaker 1>well from Nick Luciano on Twitter. He asked us to

0:54:31.520 --> 0:54:34.160
<v Speaker 1>rank we could kind of maybe do a little bit

0:54:34.160 --> 0:54:35.920
<v Speaker 1>of a deeper dive on each one of these guys,

0:54:36.400 --> 0:54:40.120
<v Speaker 1>but Tim Anderson, Elvis Andrews, Hory Polanco, Fernando Tatis, and

0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Johnny v R. Five. Really it seems like now under rated,

0:54:45.040 --> 0:54:49.480
<v Speaker 1>undervalued shortstops coming into the season. They're all mashing. He

0:54:49.480 --> 0:54:51.759
<v Speaker 1>actually brought up a pretty cool confident I haven't really

0:54:51.760 --> 0:54:54.399
<v Speaker 1>thought about. He said, Hory Polanco reminds him a little

0:54:54.400 --> 0:54:57.000
<v Speaker 1>bit of Jose Ramirez past couple of years. He doesn't

0:54:57.040 --> 0:54:59.520
<v Speaker 1>have the same speed, He's not gonna run as much.

0:54:59.520 --> 0:55:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, even with Josierra is struggling this year. I mean,

0:55:02.320 --> 0:55:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I think he still has nine or ten stolen basis,

0:55:04.239 --> 0:55:06.560
<v Speaker 1>so he's been up there. But the bat to ball

0:55:06.560 --> 0:55:09.560
<v Speaker 1>skills are absolutely I could see that comp with Jose

0:55:09.719 --> 0:55:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Ramirez because thirteen point seven percent strike out rate. He

0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:16.239
<v Speaker 1>makes a lot of contact. He's making great contact this

0:55:16.320 --> 0:55:18.640
<v Speaker 1>year overall, too, when he's putting the bat on the

0:55:18.680 --> 0:55:21.920
<v Speaker 1>ball forty two percent hard hit rate, hitting more fly balls,

0:55:21.960 --> 0:55:24.680
<v Speaker 1>something we've also seen Jose Ramirez due the past couple

0:55:24.719 --> 0:55:26.839
<v Speaker 1>of years. He's up to a fifty four percent ground

0:55:26.840 --> 0:55:29.120
<v Speaker 1>ball rate. I would argue that that's even a little

0:55:29.160 --> 0:55:31.680
<v Speaker 1>bit too high for a guy like Jorge Polanco, but

0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:37.560
<v Speaker 1>he has been awesome. Three seventeen A, three eight O

0:55:37.640 --> 0:55:40.600
<v Speaker 1>b P, six homers, twenty runs scored, only twelve ribies

0:55:40.600 --> 0:55:41.880
<v Speaker 1>because most of the time he's at the top of

0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:44.319
<v Speaker 1>that lineup. But as the weather starts to heat up

0:55:44.320 --> 0:55:47.640
<v Speaker 1>in Minnesota, he could potentially be better. And you know

0:55:47.680 --> 0:55:49.120
<v Speaker 1>the run scored are gonna be there because he hits

0:55:49.120 --> 0:55:52.600
<v Speaker 1>at the top of this lineup. Grey Polanco pretty good

0:55:52.600 --> 0:55:55.759
<v Speaker 1>ball player, greg, So how do you rank him, Frank?

0:55:56.160 --> 0:56:01.120
<v Speaker 1>That was the question of Nikola Giana of I would

0:56:01.200 --> 0:56:05.839
<v Speaker 1>rank him, Man, It's interesting because I guess it would

0:56:05.840 --> 0:56:10.040
<v Speaker 1>depend what format you playing, because everyone else that he's

0:56:10.080 --> 0:56:12.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of lumped in here is gonna give you more

0:56:12.080 --> 0:56:16.520
<v Speaker 1>stolen basis. So in Rhodo he might be towards the

0:56:16.520 --> 0:56:18.200
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the list. And and it's no fault of

0:56:18.239 --> 0:56:19.840
<v Speaker 1>his own. It's just the fact that everyone else on

0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:22.960
<v Speaker 1>this list is gonna steal basis. Anderson these the American League.

0:56:22.960 --> 0:56:24.799
<v Speaker 1>In stolen basis, Elvis Andrews gives you a little bit

0:56:24.840 --> 0:56:27.719
<v Speaker 1>of a power speed combination. Bernando Tatis saw him steal

0:56:27.760 --> 0:56:31.319
<v Speaker 1>like what three or four basis and and Johnny bar

0:56:31.360 --> 0:56:32.759
<v Speaker 1>can run. We can talk about this a little bit

0:56:32.760 --> 0:56:36.200
<v Speaker 1>more when we get back, But yeah, and and these

0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:37.400
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of guys that he likes you, so

0:56:37.440 --> 0:56:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I would I would like to hear from We'll break

0:56:39.200 --> 0:56:41.759
<v Speaker 1>it down, but Roto, I might have to rank him

0:56:41.760 --> 0:56:45.640
<v Speaker 1>a little lower. Joined the Experts Live on the air
