I gotta find out what happened 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.280 in kickball last night for you, Greg. But first, how 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.160 did you sleep? I slept well, I had Uh. It 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.040 was very tired. It's very tired. I woke up this morning. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.680 I woke up to the big thunder story I was 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.480 going on outside. I didn't hear anything, and uh, I 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:04.200 don't know. Very tired this morning for some reason. Yeah, 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.200 it's because you played your heart out on the on 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.359 the kickball field. I didn't play my heart at we 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.440 one our opening opener last night. Look at this guy. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.959 We won nine nothing, so it was nice. Um, I was, 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.880 I was. I was playing hard obviously, bunch of got 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.680 on immediately to lead off the game. I went first 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.480 the third on a single slid in the third, then 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.000 slid in a home a little bit later after that, 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:27.880 so it was well. I played well. I had wins 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.360 last night. Do you play on an actual baseball field, 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.359 so that's why you're out there sliding? Do you wear 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.560 baseball pants to play kickball? Short slide with shorts? It 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.880 wasn't playing on sliding, but the play called first slide. 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.160 I hope you at least wear like no leggings or 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.440 long socks or something. Swore shorts. Might My NY's a 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:49.280 little bruised up right now. If you slide correctly in shorts, 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:54.960 your legs should be destroyed right now. Yeah, it doesn't 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:56.799 look too good. Yeah, I mean I wasn't, but I 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.840 would imagine it's even worse than that. If you're if 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.919 you're doing the correct list. There's head first slide listen. 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:05.360 I can't say anybody else really slot really slid last night. 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:10.359 But I honestly, your instincts just take over, you know 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.519 what I mean, That's what it was. My instinct took over. 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.080 I needed to beat a beat a play. The ball 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:16.840 was coming in from left field. I was coming to 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.200 the third base and I slid. The guy stepped on 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.520 the base and he's like, you're out? Do you know 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.320 the rules? He kidding me. So you're probably regarded as 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.520 like the go hard guy. Yeah, well, if I played 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:32.359 against you, i'd probably hate No, no, no, no no, I'm 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.480 not that guy. Okay, that's Jeff. Oh all right, now 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.960 I probably hate him. Oh you it's despising I played 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:42.400 against him. That's Jeff. All right. Oh well, there's a 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.560 there's a lot going on in a fancy baseball last night, 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.800 even though we only had seven games or whatever. Yeah, Bud, 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.080 you happened last night. A bunch of bud you happened 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:50.960 last night. So let's get into it, and let's actually 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.440 start with what we spent a lot of time on yesterday, 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.200 and that was the fact that Jordan Hicks is hitting 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:57.840 the I l and now we know it's toward UCL 0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.160 so he is out for the years. He's gonna have 0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.560 Tommy John Serge, who we expect. But the question that 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.280 we had yesterday was who is going to be the closer. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:05.960 Who's the guy that you have to make sure you 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.960 go and pick up well. John Masiliak and Jim Boonen 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.240 talked about this in Serious Sex It will Be Network 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:16.600 yesterday and Mosiliak said this old last night and this 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:20.279 morning was that he could have kept pitching, but given 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.960 the fact that he's, you know, an elite young athlete 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.400 that does something that is very rare, as hard as 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.839 he throws, It's just something that they felt like was 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.960 a precautionary and smart move. But I was also when 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:33.800 I was talking to our trainer this morning, he told 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.320 me that he would like to at least see how 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.279 he feels today before looking at what the week might hold. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.400 In terms of Mr Gatt, you know right now, I mean, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.280 he's been probably our biggest asset in the bullpen, so 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.359 moving him into the rotation, I think I'd have to 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.440 twist a lot of arms to get anybody even listen, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.719 and I'm not sure they'd be all that open minded 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.120 to it. But you know, clearly a talented young man, 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.680 honestly probably one of the best athletes on our team, 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.120 and for a pitching standpoint, he's just very aggressive and 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.440 making the most of it. Does he slide into that 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.880 Hicks role? Until you have more information on Hicks, Oh, 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.280 I would think so. Yeah. I mean he's he's finished 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.479 stamps for us in the past and we have a 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.000 lot of confidence in all right, So there you go. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.520 That was once again from ELK Radio, Jim Bowden talking 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.920 to John Aziliak, the general manager or the St. Louis Cardinals. 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.360 They talked about John gamp moving into the rotation and 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.320 talk to him about maybe going in the closing role. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.120 Now we know when we'll have this with the Mets 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.560 in the second about how the general manager and the 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.120 baseball os department has influence over what used to be 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:38.120 the manager's decisions, and the confidence brimming from Aziliak saying that, 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:42.000 oh yeah, he's gonna slide into the Hicks role. Very interesting. Yeah, 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.960 and that's pretty much what we were saying yesterday. Greg. 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.040 I know you speculated with Carlos Martinez. I think it's 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.480 still fair to speculate. Carlos Martinez because last year with 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.880 Mike Schield as the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.479 we saw Carlos Martinez take over as the closer late 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.760 in the season. But you hear it from the mouth 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.760 of the general manager himself, and it sounds like John 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.200 Gant is the guy. So that's what I tweeted out yesterday. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:06.560 I feel like he should be must own right now. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.359 And you know, the Cardinals are still right in the 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.080 thick of things in the National League Central so maybe 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.839 they go out and make a trade for someone Ken 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.440 Giles or you know, someone like that, and Alex column 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.240 A perhaps, but um, as of now, it's like it's 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.000 gonna be John Gann maybe the you know, working and 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.839 Andrew Miller with matchups or whatever. I will say this 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.760 last night, and this is Laurie I was leaning. Was 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.280 Rick Hommeil was post dispatch says he expects Carlos Martinez 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.160 to be the guy. Now. That wasn't Sean Moziliak talking 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.920 and Mike Shilt the manager talking. That was a beat reporter. 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.040 And we'll see in the first closing opportunity, hopefully tonight 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.839 for St. Louis, who comes in in that ninth inning 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.680 could be mixing matching, but as of now, it's gonna 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.280 be one of these two guys. I think, yeah, I 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.800 would again, I would lean with I would leave with Gan. 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.760 I think he's the guy, all right. So John Gant 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.000 is the guy for now in St. Louis. I was 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.279 last night, Frank, But I do you want to make 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.320 an aspect. I'm excited about it. George Springer, who's missed 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.559 about a monk with a severe hamstring strain. He's back 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.120 activated off the i L this morning. He will be 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.040 in the starting lineup for Houston tonight as the Astros 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.120 continue to get healthy. Colin m Q was also activated 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.080 off of the i L earlier this morning, and he 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.680 hasn't seen To get Springer back into your lineup, no, 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.800 I mean they they kept him out for a long time. 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.920 I think of you know, they were they were really 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.240 safe about how they played this with George Springer. Look, 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.320 if he's active, he's in my lineup. Uh the Astros 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.920 didn't play last night. So if you play in weekly 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.680 leagues where you can adjust them up until that team plays, 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.200 I would get George Springer in my weekly lineup. I 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.040 would obviously get him in my uh my daily lineup 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.160 as well. Greg, what does this mean for the rest 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.120 of the Houston Astros. I think it means, you know, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.440 Kyle Tucker's still not coming anytime soon for people that 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.920 are stashing him, But that probably means less playing time 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.320 for like, I guess those fringey guys, right, Ny Camp, 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.440 Jake mri is that guys like that correct? Because you 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.080 know every day Michael Branlely is gonna play. You know 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:04.520 every day You're Sprcker is gonna play, and you know, 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.920 for the most part, John Redick shouldna play, um and 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.520 you're also gonna have your on Albros DH every day. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.960 So it's who's left, right Like that ultimately becomes the 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.560 question what playing time do you have for the Marisnicks 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.440 of the world, for the Tony Camps, for the Josh 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.320 Reddick potentially, Springer's gonna play every day, Branley is gonna 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.800 play every day. Wait's hitting, You're done, You're done. Alvarez 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.240 is gonna play every day. So it's what's left scrap heat, 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.280 But you're you surprised that they haven't called up Kyle Tucker, 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.240 especially with Springer being out as long as he was. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.840 I mean, they're still playing Tyler White at first base. 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.439 And I know he hit a grand Slam against the 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.840 Yankees on Sunday, but for the most part, he has 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.559 not been good this year. Me personally, I I feel 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.439 like they should either use your Don Alvarez at first 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.160 base or maybe even a Reddick or you know, try 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.559 and get Kyle Tucker up into their lineup. I just 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.400 find it weird that they haven't really given him an opportunity, 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.839 unless you think that they're holding out for potential trade 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.720 at the deadline, right like if they need another arm 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.640 as Kyle Tucker part of that move something like that. Well, 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.600 I don't think that's something them calling him up because 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.520 you want to showcase him potentially in the major leagues. Um, 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:13.680 but I thought that. I just think there wasn't enough 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.280 spot a spot for him, Not that you can't create 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.559 a spot, but like they like guys like Tony Camp, 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.120 Jake more Is, it has been on this team forever. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.280 So I know as fantasy owners, we want to disregard 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:29.439 these team oriented guys, these fringe guys. The Astros did it, 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.319 and you're Alan Alvarez forced his way into the lineup 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.640 and all he's done his hit Kyle Tucker had the 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:36.920 same shot. Don't forget that that you were not Alvarez 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.719 at last year he didn't perform. And I know they're 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.679 not writing Kyle Tucker off after a month's worth of games, 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.560 but that that kind of needs the truth. So I 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.400 don't know that Kyle Tucker's coming up any times soon. 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.640 I don't. I don't know either. I don't know because 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.480 it's just it's I thought they would have done it. 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.200 You know, with the George Springer injury going down, we're 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.160 speculating that at the time. I don't know what's gonna 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:00.839 happen here. I guess you know they're not. They're not 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.440 rushing to get back up. You're right. I mean, they 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.360 gave him a chance. Last year. He played twenty games 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.960 in the majors. Obviously, you know, twenty games of super 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:09.679 small sample size. This isn't completely indicative of the player 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.600 he's gonna be at the major league level. But he 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.520 only hit one forty one with a four thirty nine 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.720 OPS last year in those twenty eight games. But you know, 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.760 Kyle Tucker got off to the slow start. This year, 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.160 he has he has righted the ship. He's sitting two 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.439 eighty one at triple A with twenty three home runs 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.120 and seventeen stolen bases. So he's he's absolutely turned it 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.000 on in the month, in the months of May and June, 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:35.440 I just find it really really surprising that the Astroids 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:39.200 haven't given him a shot. Absolutely, and Kyle Tucker not 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.400 coming up, I believe anytime soon. Imagine the Mets and 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.720 I mentioned their issues off the field. Right after getting 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.719 away from the controversy with the press, it comes out 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.880 that Broodie van Wagon and thought there was a hip 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.240 issue with Jacob Degram and basically called into the cubhouse 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:58.080 when they were in Arizona, saying pull Jacob Degram right now, 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:04.480 and he Callaway said okay, and he did. The Mets, 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.840 as they tend to be every June or so, a 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:12.400 bit of a dumpster fire, the New York mess that 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.120 many many New York teams, But right now it's the Mets, 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:18.359 and it's one thing after another. I'm actually very surprised 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:22.200 that he still has a job, Mickey Callaway in all honesty, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.640 and that really surprises me. Um, but he does. And 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.960 the Mets once again last night. Joe Girardi, Joe Girardi 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:32.439 is a lock to the Mets. Isn't that great? No, 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:34.240 it's not gonna happen. No way. Where do you think 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.920 Joe Girardi ends up next Hubs? Cubs? So you don't 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:40.120 think they're bringing back to Madden after this contract which 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:41.440 ends at the end of the season. I do not 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.319 think so. I mean, Joe Madden is gonna get a 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.160 job somewhere if he wants it. He wants it. You 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:47.760 don't think you want you don't you think he's done 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.840 something like that. I think you can see Joe Madden 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.199 want to just like Joe Maddens Corps used to say, 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.840 it is about Joe Maddie. He loves to hear himself talk. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.840 He just goes and hears himself talk commentary somewhere broadcasting career. Yeah, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.560 if if he doesn't want it, Like to me, Joe 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.800 Girardi could have had the Nationals job. I think he 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.679 could have had a Hardinal's job. And I think that 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.000 I don't know that he What else would he be 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.199 waiting for because those are two pretty good jobs, you think? 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.280 So to me, the Mets are out there and the 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:16.520 Giants are out there. Do you want to go to 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.040 San Francisco? I don't think so he's a more a 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.120 Midwest guy. He's a comes guy man. Like to me, 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:23.319 it's a match made in heaven. Maybe he's a couple 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.320 of manager next year. All right, well we'll see what happens. Yeah, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:26.960 I look, I can't disagree with you when it comes 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.520 to the Mets. It's just we're here in New York, 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.120 so we we see it a lot more. We hear 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:33.840 it a lot more. We see it in the tabloids too. 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.280 It's just they can't get out of their own way 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.080 right now. It's like it's one step forward, two steps 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.840 back for the Mets. And you know, it doesn't help 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.880 that obviously they're losing games. We know that, like a 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:47.320 lot of organizations are now run by like their front office, 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.319 their their baseball operations. I mean, we joke about it 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.760 earlier on in the year that, uh, Aaron Boone isn't 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.360 the one making the line up for the Yankees, that 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.680 it's coming from above him, Brian Cashman. So that was 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:56.920 one of them, and that was one of the reasons. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.840 Remember that the Yankees moved on because they wanted a 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.680 major influence over the manager, over the lineups. Over overall, thet. 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.360 Girardi was not leting that happen and they complain whatever 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:11.040 they wanted. And part of that blame came on his 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:13.320 relationship with Gary Sanchez and the way he treated Gary 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.040 Sanchez and some of these other younger players that he 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.360 didn't relate to them as well as some of the 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.559 older players. And there is something to be said that 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.280 you needed a new voice, that that voice has been 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.720 in the Yankees organization for ten years. It was just 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.920 time for something new. And I think Girardi needs to 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.960 go somewhere where he is that new voice, where his 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.320 old school he ways will work for a lot of 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.920 these teams going with younger managers, first time managers that 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.120 want the influence or that will get the influence from 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.520 the front office. The Dodgers, the Rays, the Phillies come 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:48.680 to mind. They can't hire Joe Girardi anymore. Joe Girardi 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:51.720 is I don't want to say a dying breed, but 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:55.280 he's old school and not every organization wants an old 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.959 school type manager. But he does have some analytics in 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.280 that binder of his creed. We know that whatever you 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:03.000 wanna call that. Yeah, I mean he'd probably fit in 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.240 well with the Cubs. I mean a lot of those 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.800 guys are you know, veteran esque players. They've been around 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.040 for a while. So we'll see what happens. It's all speculation. 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.440 We'll see what happens with Joe Girardi if he even 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.160 wants to manage again. He's doing a pretty good job 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.640 on the MLB network, you see him there all the time. 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.440 So yeah, well we'll see what happens. And I think, 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.800 you know, for the for the Mets, Greg do you think, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.640 I mean, why does if Brodie van Wagen even did that, right, 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.320 why does he do that? Is because like they signed 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:30.560 Jacob de Graham to the extension, like they don't want 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.160 him to hurt himself. All those things come to mind, 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:34.680 but to me, to me, it also says you just 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:38.000 don't trust your manager, which is another issue entirely exactly. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.840 The Mets manager last night let his team to a 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.160 defeat at the hands of Philadelphia Phillies. They lost thirteen 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.240 and seven. It was bombs away last night in Philadelphia. 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.360 Stephen Maths and Zach Ethlyn were just allowing home run 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.800 after home run and double after double. That's allowed seven 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.720 runs in over four innings of work, ten hits or 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.080 he walks in a strike amp. Zach Ethlyn allowed actually 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.560 more hits eleven hits in his five things x runs 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:02.760 and four strikers also left three home runs six home 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:05.440 runs combine between the two starters. I watched a lot 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:09.040 of this game, and it was disgusting, disgusting affair. Ultimately, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.360 the Phillies put up thirteen runs to mentionally put up seven. 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.040 They fell out a thirty seven. Two Phillies approved to 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.680 forty and thirty eight. Yeah, I mean it wasn't a 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.000 disgusting affair. If you had the over in this game, great, 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.040 that looks really good right now. But yeah, Stephen Matts, 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.200 I think he's droppable in twelve team leagues. Maybe you 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.040 hold on to him in deeper formats. You can stream 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.280 him in the right spot. But he walks too many guys. 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.400 He doesn't get enough swinging strikes to mitigate that. Uh, 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.440 he's giving up a ton of home runs this yere. 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:35.560 His home runs per nine are up over two so 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.120 far this season, which is like the third highest among 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.640 starting pitchers. Zack Flynn. Look, I spoke about him last 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:43.840 week or two weeks ago as a potential sell high 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.280 candidate because I think some regression is coming. I think 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.160 we're starting to see some of that regression right now. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.240 Five innings, eleven hits, six earned runs. Last night for 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.040 zach Eflyn, I didn't want to talk about some of 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.720 these Phillies hitters. Greg, your boys he's are Hernandez. I 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.400 hope you kept them around. I did, because multi hit 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.720 games in four straight now with the batting average up 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.000 to two eighty. Uh. And if you remember last week 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.040 when you asked me him or come on Visio, I said, 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.320 let's keep sees her nand Is around for a few 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.720 more days. See if you could turn around if he doesn't, 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.280 and then you can look into dropping him. So good thing. 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.400 Good bye you for not dropping sees on her Nas. 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.440 And I think that makes a lot of sense for 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.280 anyone else out there who plays, uh you know, end 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.600 Points Seas or O B p Leagues, because that's where 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.640 she's our her name is is at his best, great Gett, 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.440 they're stolen basement cays over last night his fifth of 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.520 the year. Scott Kingary still his fourth of the year. 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.080 So many home runs were hit. Reese Hoskin has made 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.480 a seventeen that's actually infuriated. We flew out like the 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.040 warning track. Uh. Later on in the day. Jay Bruce 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.040 has been great, Jean Sigura as well. Over to the Mets, 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:40.960 Todd Fraser has been very, very hot. I know you've 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.360 spoken about that before, and we actually picked up Todd Fraser. 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:45.560 We dropped Todd Frasier. But the average off to seventy 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.720 one now for Fraser, O BP is three fifty eight. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.400 He's got two hits in each of his last three games. 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:51.640 He's got a home run and three out of his 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.520 last five. He's hot, Yeah, he is. He's actually sacrificing 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.120 a little bit of the power this year in order 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.200 to make more contact. That's why you see the batting 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:01.160 average up to two seven one on the year. Shout 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.960 out to Matt Modiki yesterday he said pay attended to 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.080 Todd Fraser, who was hot. Adimo right on the head 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.920 Todd Fraser ding ding last night. We'll take a break. 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.000 When we come back. We hit up the other New 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.600 York teams New York Yankees who home over the seven 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.200 consecutive game last night. Break that down. Give me the 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:24.280 call from John Sterling. Next Daily Rodo dot Com learned 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.720 from the game's best DFS players.

Would never really worked out, really worked 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.119 out with him with the Giants. I don't know, but 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:04.960 Dubber was just so poor. He was not playing well 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:06.680 at all. That was one of my sleepers going into 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.439 the year. I thought, this is twenty steals to fifty, 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.920 not even coming close, and doesn't look like a major 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:13.880 league player either.

I wanted to do 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:42.800 actually before we continued on Bryce Harper last night when 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.880 two or five had a couple of doubles, I believe 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.480 or the yeah, a couple of doubles. That's right, I 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:50.679 so long they're really really far hit Gee Scarrow went 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:52.919 four for six with color unscored in a couple of 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:55.880
