We put the fun in 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.800 Functional Sports Radio and we've been looking to crown the 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.080 greatest TV show of all time. We got some heavy 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:22.560 duty matchups in the drama region, so get out on 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.280 at fn T s Y Radio Twitter handle because we've 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:28.919 got Breaking Bad versus the Sopranos in the drama region. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.600 We also have got the Simpsons Verse south Park to 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.160 see who comes out of the animated region. I got 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:39.000 another poll because as you know, Tony Romo has moved on. 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.840 He's gonna be going to CBS, so that means me, 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.640 I'm wondering what do the Texans do next? So we 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.080 got that poll up there right now as well on 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.120 that f n T s Y radio Twitter handle. What 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:51.760 do the Texans do next? Do they go for a 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.440 running quarterback, a guy like Kaepernick or r G three. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.840 Do they go for a pocket quarterback that's still out there, 0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.160 guys like Jay Cutler maybe Ryan Fitzpatrick. Do they use 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.680 the first round pick trying to draft the future? Or 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.720 do they ride with their quarterback incumbent, the guy Tom 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.560 Savage right now? I don't know. You can get out 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.519 there and vote a lot of ways that you could 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.040 be part of the fantasy Freestyle.

We're gonna take a quick break in 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.200 a minute, but when we come back, we're gonna get 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.760 it started with our Top five Dead or Live where 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.200 your boys Speeds the Spitting Statistician gives you all the 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.560 nudes and notes you need in football and in baseball. 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.239 I got a couple of things I'm gonna want to 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:31.960 talk about and get your thoughts on if you want 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.280 to call me at eight four four eight four three six, 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.040 eight seven nine. We're talking about the NHL not suspending 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.200 their schedule for the Olympics. We're talking about Patrick Ewing 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.200 finally getting a job. All that and more. When we 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:49.120 come back on the Fantasy Freestyle, I'm your boy, Dane Martinez, 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.400 Speeds the Spitting Statistician once again. Shout out to all 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.200 our newest listeners on Sports Byline and the American Forces 0:02:56.400 --> 0:03:10.720 Radio Network. You know what it is. This is your 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.240 boy Dane Martinez and you're listening live to the Fantasy 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.720 Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Let's get into it. 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.400 Top five Dead or Alive. We're starting to cipher off 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.760 with news and notes in Major League Baseball Justin Upton 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.600 left the game the other day with a knee injury. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.240 They might the Tigers might go ahead inside his brother 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.640 Melvin Upton. Check fantasy line ups for that. Junior Gara, 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.240 Milwaukee Brewers pitcher looks like he might go to the 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.600 d L. He heard his calf running out a bunt attempt. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.560 So if you drafted him in your leagues, move him 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.480 to the d L. Remember it's the ten day del 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.320 not the fifteen day deal anymore. Seth Lugo Mets pitcher. 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:48.040 They have confirmed he has a slight tear of his 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.800 U c L. Normally, when guys get tear that that 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.720 minds up being Tommy John surgery. But this is now 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.720 another one in a growing line of people who competed 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.840 in the w b C who now have some injury concerns. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.200 Member Deed Gregorious on the Yankees. Drew Smiley by the 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.880 Seattle Mariners was just moved to the sixty day d L. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.000 He participated in the w C w BC and now 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:12.360 all of a sudden, this Mets pitching staff their depth 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.840 is not what it once was. Remember Mr Stephen Matts 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.440 has also been shut down for the next couple of weeks. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.880 If you are still searching for saves earlier on in 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.800 your fantasy baseball season, might I suggests you take a 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.719 look to the Oakland Athletics. It's actually Santiago Cassilla. He 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.840 got the first save opportunity. A lot of people thought 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.960 it was gonna be Ryan Madson, maybe Shawn Doolittle, but no, no, no, 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.920 it was Mr Cassilla getting the first save opportunity out 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.479 there in Oakland. And then yesterday Mr Dull, who many people, 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.720 including Tony Senkada on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network think 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.520 might be their actual best reliever. He got lit up 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.479 last night. So that continues to be. As manager Bob 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.560 Melvin describes it, a fluid situation. We got some blisters 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.400 to worry about. On h former a l s I 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.360 Young Award winner Corey Kluber and also Noah synder Guard, 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.560 both of them complaining of blisters after their last start. 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:06.479 Syndergard has been pushed back a day to Sunday, didn't 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.480 affect him as much. Klueberg did not look as great 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.240 in his out in King Felix. He expects to make 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.760 his next start for the Seattle Mariners, dealing with a 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:18.520 groin issue. I already told you Speeds and spitting statisticians, saying, 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.680 get away from King Felix. Felix Hernandez, in my opinion 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.800 is done. He is a fantasy fo Gazy. The Phillies 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.320 manager Pete McKinnon has said he is concerned about closer 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.719 jen Mark Gomez could be Hector nor Reese in the 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.640 mix for saves if Gomez does not get his act together. 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.559 Speaking of closers out in San Diego, Carter Caps worked 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.760 to simulated inning today. He may be able to come 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.400 back there, saying towards the end of this month, Speeds 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.880 is saying that Carter Caps will probably be be in 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.279 the mix for saves out there in San Diego. News 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.719 and notes on the NFL Big One. Marshawn Lynch, with 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:56.520 the permission of the Seattle Saw Seahawks went to visit 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.800 and talk with the Oakland Raiders today. Uh to potentially 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.920 be come a running back out there in his hometown 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.000 of Oakland. Get it while you still can while the 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.000 Raiders are in Oakland before they wind up moving to 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.240 Vegas or maybe even San Antonio. In the interim, there 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.760 apparently is a smoke and fire trade market going on 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.400 for Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. The market is heating up. 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.359 I've heard Philly is interested, but now we're hearing that 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.720 the New England Patriots may be interested, especially if they 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.440 lose or trade Malcolm Butler. Remember they signed Stephen Gilmour 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:32.080 from the Buffalo Bills already early on in free agency, 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.680 Leonard Fournette was down the two hundred and twenty eight 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.560 pounds at l s U pro Day. Remember the concerns 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.400 for him was was he too big of a grind 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.920 out back? He is lighter and look and when faster 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:44.360 than many people thought, running the forty at the combine 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.360 at four point five one C. J Anderson, Denver Broncos 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.039 running back may not be ready for O t a 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:54.200 s still recovering from he is knee injury. Philip Rivers 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.839 not to San Diego, the Los Angeles Chargers, all right, 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.919 he's saying that he's actually okay if the charges Go 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.960 didn't draft a quarterback, saying and I quote not gonna 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:06.400 be there forever. And as you know, Tony Rodomo has 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.800 moved on. He's gonna be the number one broadcast team 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.200 with Jim Nance on CBS. So that brings us to 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.720 that poll question, what are the Texans wind up doing 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.600 now that Romo has moved on. We got the poll 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.720 options up there on that fn T s Y radio 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.400 Twitter handle. You could also always, if you want holler 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.240 at me at spitting Speeds on Twitter, give me a follow. 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.120 You could also always ask questions and I'll get them 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.720 answered on the show. But here's my take on this 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.400 poll question. The Houston Texans have one of the best 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.400 defenses in the league, you know, and that was even 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.320 without J. J. Watt last year Jadeveon Clowney taking a step. Now, yes, 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.040 they lost some people pieces, they lost a J. Boullier 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.280 in their secondary and free agency, but you gotta figure 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.800 this is still going to be a strong defense, and 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.680 they got weapons signing Lamar Miller last year, obviously DeAndre Hopkins. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.280 So I don't think they draft and try and groom 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.080 the future quarterback. I also think this is a scheme 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.520 where they are not gonna want a running quarterback. So 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.960 the blacklisting of Colin cap for Nick and obviously of 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.640 r G three, I think that um that continues. And 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.720 whilst Tom Savage is a serviceable backup, I don't think 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.800 they are excited with what they have to consider is 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.560 a quote unquote win now team. So that to me 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.480 means if I was answering this pole, I would say 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:19.000 that they are going to look for a pocket quarterback. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.080 And the two choices I have there and Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:25.880 and Jake Cutler are interesting to me. Ryan Fitzpatrick has 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:28.800 experience with the Houston Texans. He was he was down 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:30.680 there in Houston. He knows how to chuck it up 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.040 to DeAndre Hopkins. He'd be able to test it out 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.160 with a Will Fuller down down the field as well. 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.840 But I think Jay Cutler might be the right fit. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.560 You know, Jay Cutler was connected to the Jets before 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:42.920 they signed McCown. I think Cutler is waiting for like 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.680 that on that playoff contending team to be interested in speeds. 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.200 The spitting statistician is picking smoking Jay Cutler to maybe 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:54.240 the next quarterback of the Houston Texans. Let's keep the 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.960 cipher going. I want to talk about the NHL deciding 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.920 to not take a break for the two thousand and 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.240 eighteen Winter Olympics in South Korea. They have decided they 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.320 will not suspend the season as they have and you know, 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.600 I can see a lot of sides of this. First 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.600 of all, the IOC has been getting free labor forever 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.360 from like the best athletes in the world. They get 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.440 the best golfers in the world, the best basketball players 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.040 in the world there and you know, but now they're 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.680 actually asking these pros, these NHL players to pay their 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.520 own way and pay for their own room and board 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.600 during the Olympics. I don't think that's you know, I 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.840 don't think that's right. I can see how also the 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:34.440 NHL teams, the league's you know, these assets are these 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.520 players are commodities, right, And what happens when they get hurt. 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.640 We've seen it happened so many times in the WBC 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:43.000 that players are getting hurt. You know, there's there's the 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.360 injury risk. There, there's a pause to kind of the 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.719 season momentum of the NHL and what would be the 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.839 middle of the season in February in two thousand and 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.520 eighteen next year. But this has landed very poorly with 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.720 the Players Association and with the players themselves. The Players 0:09:57.760 --> 0:09:59.920 Association is really saying that this is such a miss 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.080 opportunity to promote the league and promote the great game 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:04.880 that they have. But here's the thing. Some of these 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.600 players are just gonna go anyway. We've already heard word 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.400 that Alex Ovechkin is saying he is gonna just go 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.160 and play anyway, you know. And I think a lot 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.560 of other players are gonna be kind of guilted into 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.199 this representing their pride of their country. All our new 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.720 listeners on the American UH Forces Radio Network obviously understand 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:27.240 about the pride representing your country, and um, I think 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.120 this is gonna cause I think this is gonna cause 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.480 a big problem moving forward, and especially you know, the 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:36.320 um the KHL, the Russian League is not going to change, 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.480 So all these Russian stars, they're gonna wind up going. 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.000 It seems like Russia still, you know, controlling the narrative 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.959 when it comes to hockey here. So I I wind 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.360 up thinking, What's one what's going to wind up happening 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:50.240 here is the NHL is gonna reverse their stands. But 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:51.640 I want to hear from you at eight four four 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.920 eight four three six seven nine, what do you think 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.480 is this? Is this just a lose lose situation for everybody? 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.840 Because I think so let's keep the for going. Patrick Ewing, 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.000 former Nick's Great, former Georgetown Great National champion, with the 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.920 Georgetown Hoyas in four has been named the new head 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.959 coach of the Georgetown basketball team. And I gotta tell 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.400 you something, this is a long time coming for Patrick Ewing. 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.640 Fifteen years spent as an NBA assistant, never really got 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.480 a chance. A lot of people are saying that his intellect, 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.440 his basketball intellect, has been underestimated for a number of reasons. 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.080 Some of them saying because the Ewing was just bad 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.360 with the media, that nobody wanted to give him a 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.840 job because of the pr of it the media training. 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:37.199 Other people are saying, you know, there's this narrative that 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.120 when former players become coaches that they're only like point 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.599 guards that the big man. To be quite honest, the 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.000 narrative out there is that they're not smart enough, that 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.439 they're too dumb. And I don't think that's the case 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.440 with Patrick Ewing. Okay, what I want to see is 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.559 will Patrick Ewing be able to recruit? Being a coach 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.959 in the NBA and being a coach in college are 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.280 two very different things. In college, it's really all about recruiting. 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.520 Is he gonna be a get into those families, living 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.400 rooms and tell people and sell why they should come 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.640 to Georgetown and stay. I don't know. On the con 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:12.160 side of this, Youing teaches a defensive and rebounding and 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.200 tough kind of style that he had at Georgetown that 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.000 he had with the Knicks. That's not the way the 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.200 game is going. The way it's going the u c 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.040 l A Golden State Warriors spread and shoot. But I 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.120 do think you and will be able to recruit whoever 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.520 the best big men are in the country. Who better 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.000 to learn from if you are trying to get to 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.520 the NBA as a big man then going to Georgetown 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.960 having the tutelage of Patrick Ewing I like that. Youing 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.439 has also reached out to other former NBA guys that 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.160 are making the transition, including Chris Mullin over at St. 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.880 John's basically reviving the big time Big East.

So here we go. If you're looking 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.920 to make a little bit of money tonight on DFS, 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.200 I'm already telling you what Speeds tells you to do. 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.440 With Speeds has stacked the starters. You gotta focus on 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:46.760 the starters. That's where you're going to get it in. 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.360 Today is an interesting day because you got a lot 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.880 of SP three's going. I'm gonna tell you who I 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.320 thought you should have been playing. I would have gone 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:58.000 with Jacob deGrom today at undred on fan Duel. I 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.280 like his strikeout per nine rate last year at eight 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.400 point eight strikeouts per nine UM at home in that 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.040 Cavernis Ballpark. I like him. The reason is because I'm 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.280 trying to beat Chris Sale. I don't think Chris Sale 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.520 was worth it today. I'm a little bit worried about 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.720 the adjustment period that needs to happen, you know, going 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.160 from Chicago to the Boston Red Sox. This is his 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.880 first start for the Red Sox. I think he's a 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.840 little geeked up today. I would have looked to go elsewhere. 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.840 I don't think he was worth the eleven hundred eleven thousand, 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:31.880 four hundred price on fan do well if you wanted 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:35.280 to go down a little bit, I do not use 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.600 cold Hammels today because he's up against that Indians lineup, 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.320 and I think that they are stacked. I think that's 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.680 a big time offense. I keep on scrolling down. I 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.880 would also, like my man Tony Sencata said on the 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.520 DFS Lineup Lock Show a little bit earlier, on today, 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.120 I would not be using rich Hill, even though he's home, 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.440 even though he's against that Padres lineup. I don't think 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.760 he's worth the nineties hundred myself. He did not look 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.440 good this year in spring training, and as Benny Riccardi 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.600 made the point, I think they are he's not really 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.920 fully stretched out. They're kind of babying him in his 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.080 return from injury. I think ninety pitches is his max 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.320 as well. Here are some lower price guys that I like, 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.200 and you can still get them in your lineup if 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.560 you got that late switch option, which I know you 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.760 do on the fan Dwell, I'm looking at um for 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.400 sixty seven hundred on fan Duel. I'm looking at Darrell Cotton. 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.520 Drell Cotton who starts late night tonight against the Los 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:25.840 Angeles Angels. The Angels have Mike Trout and absolutely nothing else. 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.320 I like cotton strikeout rates when he came up in 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:31.120 the second half last year, and in that what is 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.200 a huge ballpark with a ton of foul territory that 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.280 can only help the picture. So if you don't want 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.640 to spend up, which I usually do, or if you're 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.000 playing draft Kings where you need two pictures after Jacob deGrom, 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.600 I would go all the way down to Darrell Cotton, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.520 who's listed at sixties seven hundred on fan Duel. The 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:52.040 other low pitch picture, the low price picture I want 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.120 to give you today is Houston Astro starter Charlie Morton. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.640 Charlie Morton is gonna be facing the Seattle Mariners. He's 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.200 only listed at sixty four hundred on fan Duel. And 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.440 here's the thing I look for guys, that have noticeable 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:09.600 actual differences from year to year. Charlie Morton's fastball has 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:13.200 been up to even touching nineties six miles an hour. 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.840 That is a big difference from where he used to sit. 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.800 That is an actual noticeable change. I'm gonna give him 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:23.080 a shot against the Seattle Mariners tonight at only sixty 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.480 four hundred. But you know what else we gotta do. 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.520 It's opening day or it's opening week, right, it's the 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.840 it's it's opening week. I asked earlier in the week, 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.320 what what's your favorite part about opening day? Is that 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.280 the optimism for your team is at the kind of 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.919 start of spring or is it fantasy baseball? And a 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.320 lot of people did, in fact say fantasy baseball, which 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.800 I respect, which I understand. But you know, there's just 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.440 so many other things that go with the season. There's 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.440 so many things that make me feel like, oh yeah, 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.720 the dull rooms are over. And one of those is 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:54.920 when I think about going to the ballpark, I think 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.280 about what I think about what to eat at the ballpark, 0:17:58.560 --> 0:17:59.960 and so what I wanted to do here on the 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.440 Fantasy Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network is speeds 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:06.160 and Spend statistician. We don't do all stats here, okay, 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.120 for all our new listeners. Sometimes we put the fun 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:10.359 in functional sports radio. So I want to do a 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.520 little bit of that as well as we cross the 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:14.840 bottom of the hour here on the Fantasy Freestyle. So 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:18.960 what I have are the top ten craziest food items 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:22.800 that are set to debut at Major League Baseball stadiums 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:24.920 this year. And I wanna, you know, if you wanna 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.359 chime in and let me know what you think about these, 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:29.840 whether it's my man Chris Bavona on the ones and twos, 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.720 or whether it's you out there at eight four four, 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.400 eight four, three six eight seven nine. We can make 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.720 that happen. Now, I'll tell you first as I go 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:39.720 through these, there's a couple of trends. Okay, there's a 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.640 lot of derivatives on your standard hot dog where people 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.560 are just you know, doing crazy things to the hot dog. 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:47.920 And some of them, though, some of them have fish involved. 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:49.399 And I don't know if when I go to the 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:52.439 baseball game if fish is really what I'm thinking of, 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.160 But we'll see as we go through the list. And um, 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.359 I also want to say that any food that uses 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:02.400 funnel cake at its bread gets my vote. So let's 0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.439 see what are the top ten food set the debut 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.160 around Major League Baseball stadiums this year. First in Toronto, 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:13.520 you've got the Truro Desert poutine. Now this thing looks 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:17.760 absolutely crazy. Okay, um, you know you got a little 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.800 vanilla ice cream, you got a little caramel. Uh. It's 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.119 looking pretty good. But it's only at number ten on 0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:24.959 my list. If you go north to the border Toronto, 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:26.560 you can get that. If you go down to Miami, 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.160 you can get the taco dog. Okay, you can get 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.280 the taco dog ins taco and it's hot dog. Okay, 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.200 it's basically like a regular hot dog, but it's top 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:36.119 with all your kind of taco stuff. You know, you 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.200 have a Jack Tja Pico the Guyo not bad. It's 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.560 our first hot dog derivative that we have going so far. 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.760 If you go out to Boston in Fenway Park, you 0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:49.680 can get a lobster poutine stack. Remember I told you 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:54.000 I don't know how I feel about fish at the ballpark. 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:56.320 You know, I don't know if I'm trusting fish at 0:19:56.320 --> 0:20:00.879 the ballpark. But at Fenway you can get lobster, which 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.320 is you know, it's it's it's the lobster covering fries. 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:08.480 You got the lobster meat cheese. Kords chives. I'm not 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:11.760 a lobster guy, but if you're gonna get lobster, I 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:13.520
