Speaker 1: I was gonna say when you were hinting the surprise.
Speaker 1: I knew what it was. I was like, but you
Speaker 1: normally say goodbot me an hour one, and then Greggy,
Speaker 1: being the professional that he is, says goodbye to me
Speaker 1: an hour one. Of course I did. I had to
Speaker 1: say goodbye. You know, I was kind of freaking out.
Speaker 1: I thought that they were gonna disconnect you downstairs because
Speaker 1: we didn't tell anyone else that you were staying on.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, they're actually gonna disconnect you, and then
Speaker 1: you're gonna text me and be like, well, what's this happened?
Speaker 1: But you guys are on top of it. Try our best.
Speaker 1: We we we all try our best. Job downstairs, Good
Speaker 1: job downstairs. It's Mike Floria here for over two today,
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to talk to Mike Moore. I mentioned
Speaker 1: during the break about Joe Musgrove and I said, drop
Speaker 1: Joe mustro which is a little bit crazy. But last
Speaker 1: night was his worst start to date of this season.
Speaker 1: He got absolutely wrecked against St. Louis, wrecked enough that
Speaker 1: Michael Waka was able to get a win. How about that, Frank,
Speaker 1: Michael Waka gotta win. I don't like to see that. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess if you're a Cardinals fan, you love it.
Speaker 1: But as Rhodo World said, I'm going to read directly
Speaker 1: Joe Musk Joe Musgrove got taken out behind the wood
Speaker 1: shed and beating up for eight earned runs three another
Speaker 1: guy that they hate. They hated Danny Santana and now
Speaker 1: they hate Joe. They normally love Joe Musgrove. But I
Speaker 1: read that this morning and was like, what does that
Speaker 1: even mean? Taken outside of the woods, it's old. Lastly,
Speaker 1: it is what it is when they taken out the
Speaker 1: wood shed and let her go. This time they take
Speaker 1: it out the wood shed and beat him. His wildness
Speaker 1: came back to burn him badly in this one. He
Speaker 1: went with a one point five four ERA A and
Speaker 1: now has a four point two zero r A after
Speaker 1: two back to back terrible starts, three losses in a
Speaker 1: row for Joe Musgrove. Are you getting nervous, Frank, Not entirely. Look,
Speaker 1: you don't want to see this with any of your
Speaker 1: starting pictures. But we knew that there was gonna be
Speaker 1: some regression at some point. He wasn't gonna pitch to
Speaker 1: a sub to e r A the entire season. The
Speaker 1: velocity a little bit down this year as well. So
Speaker 1: we when we talked to Nick Paulic a Picture List
Speaker 1: about this, we said, look, he still has some tougher
Speaker 1: matchups coming up. He's gonna have to face the tough
Speaker 1: n L Central teams. He's gonna have to face the Cubs,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. The Cardinals last night, you saw what they
Speaker 1: just did to him. He's gonna have to face the
Speaker 1: Brewers as well. His last time out against Oakland, another
Speaker 1: really bad start. He only went two and two thirds,
Speaker 1: seven runs, five earned, two walks, one strikeout, five walks
Speaker 1: sis today. I mean, that's just not like Joe Musgrove
Speaker 1: we've seen at times, but all throughout the minors, this
Speaker 1: was a guy that prided himself in having good command,
Speaker 1: didn't walk anybody greg And for most of his starts
Speaker 1: this year, he's for every start except for yesterday, he's
Speaker 1: been two walks or less. So that's something that he
Speaker 1: does have to he has to rein that in. He's
Speaker 1: not a guy that has like the best stuff where
Speaker 1: he can afford to walk guys and still get out
Speaker 1: of it. But you know, like something that we've always
Speaker 1: said about Joe must Grove was that we want him
Speaker 1: to use the slider. We want him to use the slider,
Speaker 1: And so I look into the pitch uses last night,
Speaker 1: and obviously he didn't throw that many pitches because he
Speaker 1: only lasted three innings, but the percentage of pitches was.
Speaker 1: I noticed the slider usage has been down, and it
Speaker 1: has been down for like the past couple of starts.
Speaker 1: So a little bit of frustration here for Joe must Grove.
Speaker 1: I just added him to the list because I had
Speaker 1: a few people asked me already, did you drop Joe
Speaker 1: must Grove? Me personally, No, I'm not dropping him. He
Speaker 1: saw what his upside could be earlier on in the season,
Speaker 1: um and then I think last night was obviously just
Speaker 1: one of his worst performances of the year. What do
Speaker 1: you think about Joe Musgrove, Mikey, I'm kicking myself a
Speaker 1: little bit for not selling high because I was advocating
Speaker 1: that on my Patreon page. I was saying, his velocity
Speaker 1: is down from last year and it continues to be down.
Speaker 1: But then when we were seeing the results at like
Speaker 1: I was seeing all the excitement from other fantasy analysts,
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, something like everything that we
Speaker 1: thought about this guy the upside, it's hitting nine. I
Speaker 1: held on to him, but as a drop candidate in
Speaker 1: no way. I mean, two bad starts don't overpower the
Speaker 1: five really good ones that he had. We were talking
Speaker 1: people on Twitter at least we're talking about like Joe
Speaker 1: Musgrove being the Pirates best picture. So that shows you
Speaker 1: how how well he was pitching. Early in the year,
Speaker 1: we knew regression was coming. But now I think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be some regression coming in the other direction. His
Speaker 1: strip let strand rate is fifty percent. That's entirely too low.
Speaker 1: It's gonna come back up. And as that as that
Speaker 1: rises the r A, I think we'll get more closer
Speaker 1: towards the fit, which is at two point nine eight.
Speaker 1: The only bad side is there's gonna be some other
Speaker 1: negative regression as his home running fly ball rate is
Speaker 1: entirely too low at two point six percent, so that's
Speaker 1: gonna climb back up. Must Grove, I think is kind
Speaker 1: of what we valued him as heading into the year.
Speaker 1: He's not what he was the last month, and I
Speaker 1: don't well the first month of the season, I don't
Speaker 1: think he is what he is the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: I think he's in the middle of those performances, and
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm dropping him. Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 1: I think he's probably in that maybe low n SP three,
Speaker 1: probably more of an SP four top forty starting pitchers. Still,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give up some home runs, the two point
Speaker 1: six percent home in the fly ball ratio, especially those
Speaker 1: games against the Brewers. Like, honestly, I might just bench
Speaker 1: him in those starts against the Brewers. I don't like
Speaker 1: starting anyone against the Brewers, to be perfectly honest with you.
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be there's gonna be some tough games.
Speaker 1: But the strand rate is a little bit low right now.
Speaker 1: I would say he probably settles in like a three
Speaker 1: six maybe three seven e r A kind of guy.
Speaker 1: The fit is two point nine eight. The e r
Speaker 1: A right now is four point two. I think we've
Speaker 1: probably meet somewhere in the middle, maybe closer to where
Speaker 1: his ear A is right now. Greg, probably like in
Speaker 1: that three seven range. I agree, there's some regression coming
Speaker 1: clearly for Joe Muskrow. I'm not dropping him yet. Oh,
Speaker 1: this is very, very frustrating. He's proven, as you said, Florio,
Speaker 1: that he may be the pirates best pitcher. And he's
Speaker 1: certainly the healthiest picture right now. Well, Chris Roger and
Speaker 1: James and Tian on the aisle. What's odd is, like
Speaker 1: I said, his velo is still down, like it's almost
Speaker 1: three miles per hour lower than what it was last year.
Speaker 1: But oddly enough, his last two outings is worst of
Speaker 1: the year sized velocity of the year. That is very random.
Speaker 1: That's quite strange, actually, But he's also struggled with command
Speaker 1: in his past two starts, So I wonder if he's
Speaker 1: like reaching back and trying a little bit hard to
Speaker 1: trying to throw harder, and maybe it's affecting his command.
Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm trying to put the puzzle pieces
Speaker 1: together here. What annoys me is, at least to my knowledge,
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone has asked him like, hey, what's
Speaker 1: up with the velocity, like why is it down so
Speaker 1: much from last year? I haven't seen anything on it either.
Speaker 1: And it's not like it's it's not like it's just
Speaker 1: down like before the last two starts where he threw
Speaker 1: average nine, it was a year he was averaging ninety
Speaker 1: four last year. True, weird. We have one share of
Speaker 1: Joe Musgrove together. G D d Obviously it's a fifteen
Speaker 1: team league, so we're just holding on. But yeah, it sucks.
Speaker 1: I mean we had we've had some real big blow
Speaker 1: ups this week. I imagine you have a team Greg
Speaker 1: that has Trevor Bauer, McHugh and Joe Musgrove. You can
Speaker 1: just you wave goodbye to this week. It's been a
Speaker 1: very frustrating week for me overall. Man, I think this
Speaker 1: week of Fantasy from the beginning has been terrible for you.
Speaker 1: Joe with the mustache, he showed me after Chris Paddock
Speaker 1: right through that gem. His team ear A this week
Speaker 1: is over seven because he had a lot of those
Speaker 1: guys that you said. So in the pit League, I'm
Speaker 1: going up against Yang, who is is very excited. He's
Speaker 1: been looking forward to since matchup to play me. If
Speaker 1: he beats me, he gets to come on the BFS
Speaker 1: on Monday. I will set that up, even though I
Speaker 1: would have allowed him to come on the show anyway,
Speaker 1: but he never asked. But he is absolutely destroying me
Speaker 1: right now. Uh, my team chose a wrong week to
Speaker 1: forget to play baseball, Mike. I have a collective one
Speaker 1: eight seven batting average, and I believe my ear A
Speaker 1: is hovering somewhere around ten. I did have Trevor Bauer
Speaker 1: and I didn't have Colin McHugh, so it's not great.
Speaker 1: That's just an all around eight point eight point six
Speaker 1: to e r a one point six to seven batting average,
Speaker 1: and I would is the third place team coming into
Speaker 1: this week, So I don't have a bad team. It's
Speaker 1: just everyone forgot to play baseball. It's crazy. You need
Speaker 1: your pictures to face your hitters or vice versus. So
Speaker 1: one of them figures it out. I got Wheeler against
Speaker 1: the Marlins tonight, and I have Erod against Seattle, so
Speaker 1: see if we can write the ship a little bit.
Speaker 1: Good luck. Hey, Zach Wheeler against the Marlins. You want
Speaker 1: to talk about first favorable start of the year too, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's had one of the toughest competitions. Mike, where where
Speaker 1: did you look up? I know you were able to
Speaker 1: see like opposing ops against pictures so far this season.
Speaker 1: I would imagine that Jack Flaherty is pretty high on
Speaker 1: that list. He's he's had some some pretty tough matchups.
Speaker 1: I know Zach Wheeler was up there to where where'd
Speaker 1: you find that stuff? It's on Baseball Prospectus. If you
Speaker 1: give me like a minute or two, I could pull
Speaker 1: it up and tell you who leads the league in it. Now.
Speaker 1: That's that's Ops against Grady. So you can see which
Speaker 1: starting pictures have faced the toughest matchups, which might help
Speaker 1: identify some by local targets who if they haven't pitched
Speaker 1: up to their expectations, like Jack Flaherty for example, or
Speaker 1: Zach we Er. Um. You can kind of use this
Speaker 1: tool to help you figure out, all right, well, they've
Speaker 1: had some really tough matchups, so let Mike find what
Speaker 1: should I set the in eng limit at UM fifty
Speaker 1: too much? Too much? Let's all right, you guys can talk.
Speaker 1: I'm pulling it up right now. All right, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to look at um, who's next up on the drop
Speaker 1: list or ad list? Rather who's next of one? Unless
Speaker 1: I want to talk about basically whatever list do you want? Greig?
Speaker 1: What what do you want to do? It's all about you.
Speaker 1: It's Greg's world. We're just living in it. I appreciate that. UM.
Speaker 1: We mentioned Chris Bassett earlier in the week. I guess
Speaker 1: it's worth mentioning again. Now that's people look to do
Speaker 1: their waivers on Sunday. Chris Bassett's pretty legit man, and
Speaker 1: I know he allowed three runs yesterday, but gives you
Speaker 1: some length as well. I mean, you go seven and
Speaker 1: two thirds and he's pitched seven hits, three earned runs,
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts. Like, guy has thirty one strikeouts in twenty
Speaker 1: four and two thirds endings pitched in eleven k per nine,
Speaker 1: two point five walks per nine. Right now, you've got
Speaker 1: a T five five ear he's got a three point
Speaker 1: one seven xfit. A lot of people talking about Chris
Speaker 1: Bassett on Twitter right now. I know Moredca is a
Speaker 1: big fan of his thirty one point six percent strike
Speaker 1: out rate, a twenty four point five percent K minus
Speaker 1: walk percentage right now, and he has a swinging strike
Speaker 1: rate of twelve percent. I mean, Chris Bassett, you should
Speaker 1: be own in twelve team leagues, not not just deeper
Speaker 1: leagu you should be own in twelve I said this
Speaker 1: Earli in the weeks like Chris Bassett, Yeah, he should be.
Speaker 1: He's he's up there with the g LEO group, Brandon Woodruff.
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll mention him a two star pitcher. I'd
Speaker 1: imagine he's owned in plenty of leagues already right now.
Speaker 1: But I think Chris Basses up there is one of
Speaker 1: the top starting pitcher ads this week. Chris Bassett definitely
Speaker 1: one of the top starting pitcher adds this week. Considered
Speaker 1: getting him in there. Florio, do you have the information
Speaker 1: that we're looking for? Yeah, it's it's odd. It's changed
Speaker 1: a lot since I've last looked, and both Flaherty and Wheeler,
Speaker 1: who were like very high up like two weeks ago
Speaker 1: somehow or not even in the top thirty anymore. And
Speaker 1: that's very surprising to me because outside of facing the
Speaker 1: like Wheelers, since then, his face like the Phillies, the
Speaker 1: Reds and the the Brewers. So I didn't expect it
Speaker 1: to be that bad. And Flaherty, I know he's had to,
Speaker 1: you know, face the gauntlet of the Brewers three times already.
Speaker 1: Flaherty is thirty one right now, Wheeler is fifty three
Speaker 1: and the leader his Felix Hernandez, poor King Felix Man.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for King Felix. Mike who Who's Who's
Speaker 1: the top ten on that list? So it's Felix, Trevor K. Hill.
Speaker 1: These are the interesting names here, Garrett Cole and very
Speaker 1: Lander back to back at three and four. Then you've
Speaker 1: got Sampson at five, Carrasco six, Mantas seven, Bundy eight,
Speaker 1: Tyson Ross nine, and Matt Harvey ten because a lot
Speaker 1: of tough opponents in the a O West right now, Greggy,
Speaker 1: there your names on that list. Carrasco, by low my man,
Speaker 1: Frankie Mantas, Mike, have you turned around on Frankie Mantas, Toss.
Speaker 1: I'm still not as high as you guys are, No,
Speaker 1: come on, sorry. Bunny is an interesting one too, because
Speaker 1: like the swinging strikes are great, They're always there, and
Speaker 1: he clearly has had some tough matchups, but he's always
Speaker 1: gonna have tough match up because he plays in the
Speaker 1: American League East. But man, we're Dylan Bundy, Grego swinging
Speaker 1: strike Creg. I've never been a Dylan Bundy guy. Never.
Speaker 1: He's very bad. It was never really part of it.
Speaker 1: I mean there was like one half season where he
Speaker 1: was awesome. He's very very bad. Strike outs are there,
Speaker 1: but outside of that, he's one of those pictures that, yeah,
Speaker 1: he either he either gets you to strike out or
Speaker 1: you hit a home run off with him, like there's
Speaker 1: no one between. It's hard hit percent. I just so
Speaker 1: interesting for Dylan Bundy man pour guy plays for the
Speaker 1: Orioles art to succeed. Not great. I mean here we
Speaker 1: are telling um me Jhn means exactly. M hmm, come on,
Speaker 1: don't poopoo. John means now, Greg, I'm trying to build
Speaker 1: a line up for tonight's vandal contest. Rather, why don't
Speaker 1: you just do that after the show, Gregg, you guys
Speaker 1: are I'm into it now? Though, No, I would rather
Speaker 1: just we do Weekend Waivers. That's the name of the show.
Speaker 1: It's not. The name of the show is not Greg
Speaker 1: makes his lineup on air. The name of the show
Speaker 1: is Floral Friday Weekend Waivers. All right, it was Friday
Speaker 1: and I am here here, so we should probably utilize him.
Speaker 1: Two of the three things are accurate. I don't know, Greggy,
Speaker 1: it seems like you're being a little voted here my
Speaker 1: vote of my voter. Alright, move on there. I don't know,
Speaker 1: all right. A J. Mintzer continues to suck. Needs a
Speaker 1: nicer word, but sure, he continues to suck. Did you
Speaker 1: drop him? Yeah? I think Luke Luke Jackson is the
Speaker 1: closer right now there. I mean he was brought in
Speaker 1: last night and then I understand he gave up that
Speaker 1: home run, but Minter came in in the tent and
Speaker 1: blew the game again, so I don't I don't think
Speaker 1: that that's going to change after one bad performance. Also,
Speaker 1: maybe it's a flaw. I'm like thinking, but if I
Speaker 1: receie like a closer gives up a solo home run
Speaker 1: rather than like, you know, actually blows a save, like
Speaker 1: like giving up a bunch of hits, to me, I'm
Speaker 1: more likely to give a pass, especially in today's day
Speaker 1: and age. So I think Jackson's the closer there until
Speaker 1: they probably get in the Kimbroll sweepstake on June three.
Speaker 1: But until then, oh, I think it's Jackson's job. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I tweeted about this last night too. I hope every
Speaker 1: team that opts not to sign Craig Kimbro right now
Speaker 1: just keeps blowing saves. I know that they're the draft
Speaker 1: pick is attached him right now, so we're waiting for
Speaker 1: the MLB Draft to pass by. I would agree that
Speaker 1: Luke Jackson has a pretty good stuff too. Case for
Speaker 1: nine over ten this year to six five e r A,
Speaker 1: the underlying number is very good for him as well. Uh,
Speaker 1: and there was you know they didn't even hesitate. It
Speaker 1: was they went to him in the ninth any one
Speaker 1: run game. It was a two to one game. He
Speaker 1: gives up a solo home run. I do agree with
Speaker 1: what Mike said. You know, it's not like a Page
Speaker 1: or Stroke situation the other day where he just walks
Speaker 1: everybody walks in. Like the game tying run against the Marlins,
Speaker 1: doesn't even get an out. The guy gave up a
Speaker 1: home run and that was basically I think he gave
Speaker 1: up like one hit actor that as well. It was
Speaker 1: Adam Jones. But overall, it doesn't look like Luke Jackson
Speaker 1: is the guy. Great if he's still out there, how
Speaker 1: aggressive are you on him? Knowing that Craig Kimbroll could
Speaker 1: be the closer for the team amongs from. This just
Speaker 1: seems like a mess to me. Again, maybe not the
Speaker 1: mess of Chicago is, but a mess. Nonetheless, Luke Jackson
Speaker 1: blue yesterday for the first time. UM Kimbera is still
Speaker 1: out there. I know we're not past June second yet
Speaker 1: when he could become uh he signed without draft pick compensation,
Speaker 1: but I don't see Luke Jackson just taking the job
Speaker 1: running away with it in all honesty, So I don't
Speaker 1: want to short term he but but why not? He
Speaker 1: He had their coming into this week, He had their
Speaker 1: last to save up except for the one that month
Speaker 1: he had to save on a Sunday. The Monday, they
Speaker 1: came out before the game and said Jackson and Mentor
Speaker 1: are unavailable and Webb got to save. The next save
Speaker 1: opportunity was last Sunday. It went to Jackson, and then
Speaker 1: they went to Jackson again last night. Like, I don't
Speaker 1: understand why we're very hesitant to buy in that Jackson
Speaker 1: is the closer. I would just have Craig Kimberl in
Speaker 1: the back of my mind. That's what I would worry about.
Speaker 1: It's not really a fault of Luke Jackson's it would
Speaker 1: It would just be I I expect this team to
Speaker 1: be in on Craig Kimberl. I mean, among others. I'm
Speaker 1: sure there will be other teams that won his services
Speaker 1: as well, maybe the Red Sox again, maybe the Chicago Cubs,
Speaker 1: but um yeah, the Braves are probably one of the
Speaker 1: leading candidates that can use Craig Kimberll. So I do
Speaker 1: worry about that for Luke Jaxon, But overall, I just
Speaker 1: write out the numbers been pretty damn good and and
Speaker 1: eight mentor has been uh got awful? Jaxon only percent
Speaker 1: owned on Yahoo breaks that number be higher probably but
Speaker 1: not like significantly deeper leaves yep, Okay, we'll take a

Speaker 1: Kendrick's it's not really sexy name and fantasy because he
Speaker 1: doesn't really wow you with you know, his strikeout rate.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so, but you can't argue against what he's
Speaker 1: done throughout his career two point one three r A.
Speaker 1: But what you expect more from him is you know,
Speaker 1: mid three range v E r A. Actually his career
Speaker 1: you are a I'm looking at his three point one
Speaker 1: So cups Starting Pitching has been coming on as a
Speaker 1: lady Saturday's eight am Eastern on the Fantasy Sports networking
Speaker 1: on your popular podcast Providers. I was working on my UH,
Speaker 1: I was working on once again. I'm during the break.
Speaker 1: All right, Greg, what do you got? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't Ronny and Rodriguez in there. No, I need
Speaker 1: to make the cut tonight. That sucks. No, I want
Speaker 1: to put him in. Okay, hit a four night? Are
Speaker 1: you going with the chalks? Starting pitching tonight? Yes? Who's
Speaker 1: if we were just talking about? Oh, like, Zach Wheeler
Speaker 1: is going to be owned in this contest tonight, isn't he?
Speaker 1: I just think he's just cheaper than some of the
Speaker 1: other options I was considering. So all right, I guess
Speaker 1: I gotta change mine. Wow, I want to use Zach Wheler,
Speaker 1: but I feel like everyone's gonna use Zach Wheeler to
Speaker 1: night get some Marlins. That's why I'm starting Zach Wheeler. Man,
Speaker 1: I can't feel out who my last players really. I
Speaker 1: don't have much money left, and I just need to flyer.
Speaker 1: I don't know who that guy should be. We should
Speaker 1: probably go to Daily Rodo dot com. I'm on Daily
Speaker 1: Roder dot com. No flyers for you there? So the
Speaker 1: flyer they want to give me the use? Uh, seems
Speaker 1: to be too expensive for the moment. Oh man, So
Speaker 1: you you you need a really low about how about
Speaker 1: shed Long? How about you get one of the marriages
Speaker 1: and the line up tonight? I can do that, will
Speaker 1: shed Long? JP Crawford action, Oh my god. Some of
Speaker 1: the guys I could do is are bad? Well what
Speaker 1: do you expect? Greg? You need a fire Do I
Speaker 1: do need a flyer? All right? Let's see here? What
Speaker 1: else can I get? Should but ender in cr dam
Speaker 1: ile on him? I don't know who the braves? The
Speaker 1: braves are I considered in there in CRD. I'm probably
Speaker 1: not gonna start him in Arizona. Maybe they're going up again,
Speaker 1: Zach Ranky, Yeah, probably find a better match with than that, Greig.
Speaker 1: You know what they're telling me? You know who Della
Speaker 1: rots telling me to start? Would that be Todd Fraser?
Speaker 1: The Todd Father? What do you think about that one? Mike?
Speaker 1: Do do not start Todd Fraser? He's terrible, Like I,
Speaker 1: I personally think he should be d Fade. Well, you
Speaker 1: know what, speaking of Todd Fraser, I'll just have a
Speaker 1: conversation with you here, Mike whal Gregg does his own.
Speaker 1: It could be Nicky Delmonica night all right, No, forget
Speaker 1: that big nicky d that that would be him, right,
Speaker 1: my regarding Todd Fraser Jed Lowry expected to be as
Speaker 1: is he coming back tonight. They pushed it back because
Speaker 1: he's he's like three, so they're giving him the weekend
Speaker 1: to get some Do you have any interest in him
Speaker 1: because I thought about stashing in the past couple of
Speaker 1: weeks in some fifteen team leagues. But I just don't
Speaker 1: know if he's gonna play every day. I think played
Speaker 1: third base almost every day. I think we'll see him
Speaker 1: at shortstop a little bit. Uh And I dude, I'm
Speaker 1: Rosario is not what people expected him to be. I
Speaker 1: was low on him coming into the year, but we
Speaker 1: at least thought he could be a good defender. And
Speaker 1: he had a fielding slump. I've never heard of that before.
Speaker 1: It's the yips, That's what it is. Getting your own head,
Speaker 1: you know, Travish Travis Shaw's a bit of a fielding
Speaker 1: slum as well. I saw and everything lder. It's a
Speaker 1: big difference to like when Rosario was brought up like
Speaker 1: and told like, oh he's he's a gold Glove caliber
Speaker 1: defender and we haven't seen anything close to that. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw, I saw Deny Hetche of Varia in the
Speaker 1: lineup the other day, and they were saying it was
Speaker 1: because because a meta Rosario has been so brutal defensively,
Speaker 1: Tacoma was was was ripping was it was ripping Rosario
Speaker 1: the other night saying he Ria has made at least
Speaker 1: two plays that there's no chance for Rosario would have
Speaker 1: made these. I think I think Hedge gets sent back
Speaker 1: down to make room for Lowry. But that and because
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna use short a little you know
Speaker 1: hat hatch nickname? What are the nicknames you got, Mike?
Speaker 1: Uh have one for from Fordham? Nah? No, I call
Speaker 1: I called Pete Big Pete. Obviously everyone's big Pete. Everyone's big,
Speaker 1: you know, big big Pete. Actually he's an interesting looking dude. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Like I saw him without a baseball cap on and
Speaker 1: he was doing an interview in locker room. Was like,
Speaker 1: is not how I expected. Pete Alonso. You know what
Speaker 1: he reminds me of. It's like if you took like
Speaker 1: a child and you just injected him with a bunch
Speaker 1: of like H G H and he like just grew
Speaker 1: massive instantly. That's what Pete Alonso reminds me of. He
Speaker 1: was a child who turned into like the incredible holts.
Speaker 1: It's basically Also, he has like a baby face and
Speaker 1: he acts like a child. Like the other day when
Speaker 1: he did that bat flip, the don't yelled at him
Speaker 1: and he was like, hey, I'm sorry, there's there's just
Speaker 1: a bunch of sticky pintour on my hand and the
Speaker 1: bat got stuck. Like he's just so innocent. Did I
Speaker 1: tell you? Like he has a bunch of facial hair.
Speaker 1: It looks like a madman. I he did not look
Speaker 1: how I expect him to look. Great. He's a goatee
Speaker 1: that's like a wild one. It's like it's it's not groomed.
Speaker 1: It's like all over the place. I don't know, man, Greg,
Speaker 1: you should grow a goatee. You are a goatee guy.
Speaker 1: We did I ever tell you that? We um one
Speaker 1: week or two in college our senior year, Like, all right,
Speaker 1: gonna go t we We're always gonna do go tees.
Speaker 1: So you can do it for your cool friends in college,
Speaker 1: but you can't do it for your best friends. I
Speaker 1: didn't been begging you for like three years now to
Speaker 1: grow out some facial That's when that's when he was
Speaker 1: jersey short, Greg. Though, No, No, he had to blowout.
Speaker 1: That was the fruity drink. Can we get that picture
Speaker 1: on the screen? Always all the way on button. I
Speaker 1: will always do the fruity Let's do this, keep talking.
Speaker 1: What's happening here? Know what's happening. He wrung my shoulders.
Speaker 1: They a little massage while we deal is at least
Speaker 1: a little get a little massage, a little shoulder rub.
Speaker 1: Come on, hey, a little bit of a shoulder rub.
Speaker 1: You definitely wear a pop color. Never ever ever get
Speaker 1: the but like four buttons undone. Greg used to buy
Speaker 1: latigray polos and and and and pop. It's collar true story.
Speaker 1: You know, um uh J Wolfe Studios. You've been student us.
Speaker 1: You only tried to make popular high school. He did
Speaker 1: not succeed. Wearing two polos at one time. I used
Speaker 1: to see people do that. He used to wear like,
Speaker 1: I'd say, a red polo. They would like flip the
Speaker 1: color so that you would see like one color on
Speaker 1: top of the other red in the yellow just right
Speaker 1: on top. Why are you wearing two polos? Back in
Speaker 1: the day and junior high school, we used to wear well,
Speaker 1: it was like the baggy t s. Back in the day,
Speaker 1: we would wear one baggy t and then a longer
Speaker 1: baggy t underneath it, so you see two colors. That's
Speaker 1: what it was the most ridiculous. Justin Bieber does that now? Hey,
Speaker 1: Greg's coming back? The the the two polo shirts. That
Speaker 1: was like a staple of dumb preppy kids in Mammoth,
Speaker 1: all right, that was very like, that was really popular
Speaker 1: and trendy to see all the frat boys that mom
Speaker 1: is wearing the double golf shirts and popped collars as well.
Speaker 1: Where's your pop collar in that pick? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I say it all the time, guys. I cannot wait
Speaker 1: till our generation is old and we're like showing pictures
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, and here's Grandpa and his g
Speaker 1: unit shirt that's eight sizes too big. That's a great picture.
Speaker 1: Just me. That's being my most recent vacation right in Florida.
Speaker 1: I said, you guys, yeah, you're definitely were feeling yourself
Speaker 1: in the tiny bathing suit. Who wears short shorts? Well,
Speaker 1: it's clearly just pushed up. I'm sleeping. Greggy wears shorts shorts,
Speaker 1: sleeping look good, though, we got some work to do.
Speaker 1: I look pretty skin that you have? No? You have no? Uh?
Speaker 1: You have no body hair at all, no nothing, no
Speaker 1: up much. I would like a wrestler. Oh, thank you.
Speaker 1: I think that's a compliment. Look I look pretty tanning
Speaker 1: that picture. Greg's gonna come and start putting oil in
Speaker 1: his hair and stuffs on the oil better than anyone
Speaker 1: I know. Thank you. Know, there's me again. I'm on
Speaker 1: my noodle, my noodle. That What do we just do there?
Speaker 1: I think we all right? All right? It was weird,
Speaker 1: all right, So anyway, that's move on. Now we're supposed
Speaker 1: to do to star pictures. If you'd like to jump in.
Speaker 1: You are the one that asked for for. It all
Speaker 1: started because you started setting your fan to wind up
Speaker 1: during the break. I said, I did it. I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure you did that. On air when we came back
Speaker 1: and breaking out, we started talking about Zach Wheeler, and
Speaker 1: then we got into all the mats and then big
Speaker 1: pete h G H. And how did that turn into
Speaker 1: be having a drink? I don't know, something about a
Speaker 1: pop somehow did But I blame you, Greg, of course
Speaker 1: saw your fault. Of course, two star pictures that could
Speaker 1: be out there. We got a question about him on
Speaker 1: Twitter here just a few moments ago. Frank, and that
Speaker 1: was Brandon Woodruff. Would you be talking a a little
Speaker 1: bit about yesterday? He's a two start pitcher next week
Speaker 1: he shouldn't be owned, he shouldn't be unknowned. Would you
Speaker 1: to start pitcher who he starts against? And are you
Speaker 1: starting him? So Brandon Woodruff doesn't have the best matchups
Speaker 1: next week at least he's not home, but he has
Speaker 1: to go to Philly Citizens Bank, not great, and then
Speaker 1: he goes to Atlanta. So Atlanta lineup has been a
Speaker 1: little bit inconsistent. So one tougher matchup, one like mediocre
Speaker 1: matchup here for Woodroffe. But the underlying numbers for him,
Speaker 1: and we spoke about him earlier on in the week
Speaker 1: eleven case per nine. Right now the walks for nine
Speaker 1: are below three. He's got the four to five e
Speaker 1: ar a, but the the fifth two point eight seving
Speaker 1: the xfit three point three one. The hard hit rate
Speaker 1: is still higher than you wanted to be. It's forty
Speaker 1: four percent, but eleven point seven percent swinging shrike ray
Speaker 1: he throws mid nineties. He has a pretty nasty slider.
Speaker 1: I think he is doing exactly what we expected Corbin
Speaker 1: Burburns to be doing. I know there was some like
Speaker 1: late draft season hype on Brandon Woodruff, but um, the
Speaker 1: underlying urom is much better than what we've actually seen
Speaker 1: from him so far this year. Greg, So I'm buying
Speaker 1: in and I would use him for those two starts,
Speaker 1: even though the one against Philly does kind of scare me.
Speaker 1: What about you, Michael Floria? Yeah, I would use him.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about would if I'm excited about this
Speaker 1: whole Brewer's rotation. Like I know Corbyn Burns hasn't pitched well,
Speaker 1: but I think in years to come he is going
Speaker 1: to be an absolute stud. This stuff is legit. And
Speaker 1: would Droff in his last three starts twenty two strikeouts
Speaker 1: to three walks. You love that? And if you, I
Speaker 1: always use a like a barometer, like if I can't
Speaker 1: start a pitch on two start week unless it's like
Speaker 1: abysmal matchups, why do I own him? So I would
Speaker 1: be using Brandon Woodrift this week. Using Brandon Wouldrift here
Speaker 1: uh in his to start week. So other two starters
Speaker 1: that come to mind as people that as names that
Speaker 1: people could want to pick up. Let me start on
Speaker 1: Mike fires Right in his last start. I know it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: The e R A or whatever. His last start pitches
Speaker 1: a no hit. Him is to start picture next week
Speaker 1: in Seattle and in Detroit. Not terrible by any means, Franky,
Speaker 1: would you consider start warning Michael Fires. So when we
Speaker 1: spoke about Fires after the no hitter, he wasn't expected
Speaker 1: to have a two star week. He was supposed to
Speaker 1: have a two star week this week, but he got
Speaker 1: pushed back, probably because he ended up throwing a hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty pitches. But he's gonna end up starting Monday.
Speaker 1: I do have a little bit of interest maybe in
Speaker 1: deeper leagues, just because of the matchups here. Greg, the
Speaker 1: Seattle Mariner's lineup is coming a little bit back to
Speaker 1: earth here. Uh, they're not living up to what they
Speaker 1: were doing earlier on in the season. And the Detroit
Speaker 1: Tires is not really scared of that lineup either. So
Speaker 1: I know it's Mike Fires. I don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of trust in him. Twelve team leagues, I'm probably not
Speaker 1: doing it. But anything deeper than that, like in a
Speaker 1: fifteen teamer, based on those matchups, I might take a
Speaker 1: stab at this one. Oh God, I feel so bad
Speaker 1: to say. What do you think Mike Mike Fires, I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not using him unless I'm really desperate. Even
Speaker 1: after that no hitter, his EARRA is over five. The
Speaker 1: ear A indicators are right there as well. He's not
Speaker 1: striking anyone out. Plus, I always get worried when I
Speaker 1: see a picture go like a hundred and thirty pitches.
Speaker 1: The next time out, it's usually not great. So I'm
Speaker 1: staying away from Fires for what it's worth. His last
Speaker 1: three starts obviously had the no hitter against the Reds
Speaker 1: at Boston five innings, three runs, at Toronto seven innings
Speaker 1: to earn runs. So his past three starts here the
Speaker 1: two point six one A. Yeah. The three starts before
Speaker 1: that though, it was six and runs six and runs
Speaker 1: six and rundst What about what about his three His
Speaker 1: two starts before that six endings against the Red Sox
Speaker 1: six shutout endings and against the Angels six shutout endings.
Speaker 1: So if you go and the start before that was terrible,
Speaker 1: continues this pattern. It's volatile, man, a game of runs. No,
Speaker 1: it's basketball. But overall, what's a question for you about
Speaker 1: a to start pitcher? We got we, we said, and
Speaker 1: we're not dropping him. Joe muscro was a two start pitcher.
Speaker 1: Though next week, what do you do with him? Joe
Speaker 1: Musgroves two starts in Arizona against Luke Weaver and in
Speaker 1: a San Diego against Nick Viscius. So this just comes
Speaker 1: at a bad time because after Joe Musgrove's last two starts,
Speaker 1: you'd want to take a weight and see approach. Put
Speaker 1: him on your bench. Let's start pitching again, right. But
Speaker 1: that's why I thought it was worth asking, because like,
Speaker 1: I was going to sit him until I saw he's
Speaker 1: on two starts, and now I have to make this decision.
Speaker 1: I think you have to start once. Two starts Florida.
Speaker 1: I think so too got a ten earray over his
Speaker 1: last three starts. Brad Peacock three starts before that. Brad Peacock,
Speaker 1: by the way, also way to start picture. He's in
Speaker 1: Detroit and in Boston. Pitched really well is last time out.
Speaker 1: I think you don't love the Boston start, obviously, but
Speaker 1: I think there's no brainer you start him. Frank Yeah,
Speaker 1: based on that start that he had the other day,
Speaker 1: I will say he had twelve strikeouts the other day
Speaker 1: and it was with eleven swinging strikes, So very impressive
Speaker 1: job there. By Brad Peacock, but it was against the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Royals, who we saw the night before absolutely
Speaker 1: destroyed Colin McHugh. We know that Brad Peacock has upside,
Speaker 1: especially to get strikeouts. I worry about him going deep
Speaker 1: into games. So if you're playing quality start leagues, I
Speaker 1: did some say I worry about Brad Peacock for the
Speaker 1: most part. Mikey, I would assume fits the model of
Speaker 1: quality greater signed quantity, but it hasn't necessarily been the
Speaker 1: case so far this year. I think he flashed some
Speaker 1: of his upside in this last start against Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I am using him for two stars. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about Peacock? Yeah, I like him as well. I
Speaker 1: think he's been pretty unlucky as well. Uh. The strand
Speaker 1: rates down at sixty three point two percent, that's very low.
Speaker 1: The strikeouts have been better as of late, and he
Speaker 1: still has an eighteen point two percent came on his
Speaker 1: walk rate. So I think he's been a little unlucky.
Speaker 1: Not saying he's lived up to expectations by any stretch.
Speaker 1: He's been a pretty disappointing picture so far this year.
Speaker 1: But I do think he's been unlucky. I think again,
Speaker 1: if you can't start him on a two start week,
Speaker 1: why are you owning him? So I would be throwing
Speaker 1: him out there this week. You know, Greg, I mentioned
Speaker 1: mckugh there, and I'd like to get mikes on him
Speaker 1: while while we have him here. We're talking about a
Speaker 1: lot of players that we can drop. Mike, I tweeted
Speaker 1: the other day, I think in twelve team leagues you
Speaker 1: can drop McHugh. Is that an overreaction? No, mqugh sucks
Speaker 1: because he's a fam former Mets picture. That's too strong
Speaker 1: of an opinion. But you know, anytime he has an
Speaker 1: ERA over six, fit over five and x FIT over four,
Speaker 1: so there's not a whole lot to like there. He
Speaker 1: has been unlucky. But even as he I think he
Speaker 1: you know, they start the numbers start to normalize. I
Speaker 1: look at those ERA A indicators and think, all right,
Speaker 1: he's gonna get better. But is it's still gonna be
Speaker 1: to a point where I could trust him in a
Speaker 1: twelve team league that I'm not sure of, especially with
Speaker 1: those young pictures breathing down his neck. I'll throw a
Speaker 1: name your way in g s T, a fifteen team
Speaker 1: rotal league that we playing together we own the me,
Speaker 1: you and Florio. Ronaldo Lopez is available as a two
Speaker 1: star pitcher on on CBS. His matchups are against Cleveland
Speaker 1: and Toronto. It does not get much better than that.
Speaker 1: I'm interested. I'm absolutely interested to start against Clevelands against
Speaker 1: Shane Bieber. I know you're a BEABS guy, but I'm
Speaker 1: interested in Ronaldo loposince you start weeks next week. Absolutely. Yeah.
Speaker 1: If you look at four of his last five starts
Speaker 1: against Boston, I mean, and that was the start that
Speaker 1: we knew he was gonna get own up because he
Speaker 1: was performing. It was a lot that he was gonna
Speaker 1: come back down to earth and he was gonna get
Speaker 1: blown up by Boston. But the other day against Cleveland,
Speaker 1: he gave up nine hits. I like that, he only
Speaker 1: walked one batter. The strikeouts weren't there against Cleveland, but
Speaker 1: he did get the quality start. Uh. And it's now
Speaker 1: four of his last five starts that he's gone six
Speaker 1: innings and has given you three earned runs or less. Mikey,
Speaker 1: I think we should be in on the bidding this
Speaker 1: weekend for Ronaldo Lopez two star week next week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I I just accepting you have
Speaker 1: to accept the risk that there is just a chance
Speaker 1: that he gets annihilated, because maybe it's just me but
Speaker 1: owning him last year and early on this year, like
Speaker 1: he's either gonna give you like seven strong innings or
Speaker 1: he's gonna give up like six runs in the first inning.
Speaker 1: I will say, Mike, what I like from Ronaldo Lopez.
Speaker 1: He's got a six point three eight year array. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's really bad, Like he is one of these
Speaker 1: guys that he can give you these huge performances, but
Speaker 1: he also is prone to getting blown up, blown up.
Speaker 1: But the strikeouts are much better this year. You know,
Speaker 1: we we we said this constantly about him last season.
Speaker 1: He only had seven point two case per nine last year,
Speaker 1: but if you watch him pitch, it seems like his
Speaker 1: stuff played up better than that that he should have
Speaker 1: been getting more strikeouts. And this year the swinging strike
Speaker 1: rate is up two percent. He's up to eleven point
Speaker 1: He's at almost ten case per nine. I think there's
Speaker 1: some good here with Ronaldo Lopez despite the the e
Speaker 1: r A and the indicators being not so great. If
Speaker 1: we're just throwing names out there, can I throw one
Speaker 1: that I absolutely would highly recommend everyone ad right now,
Speaker 1: He's owned in just over of CBS sports leagues, which
Speaker 1: to me is criminally low. Tyler Molly like he's been
Speaker 1: awesome this year. Strikeout rate. His ear A is three
Speaker 1: point three one and the indicators are lower. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: His raised three point six nine and the indicators are lower.
Speaker 1: His fit is three three one, the X fit is
Speaker 1: just over three. He's he's been uh throwing, He's incorporated
Speaker 1: a new curveball this year, and it's just it's really like,
Speaker 1: I guess what's pushing him over and letting him take
Speaker 1: this next step. With Tyler Molly, I feel like everyone
Speaker 1: is just overlooking him and he should be picked up.
Speaker 1: Trade him to you. I just picked him up in
Speaker 1: it in our home league, and one of them he's
Speaker 1: still out there in the other like Tyler Molly, not
Speaker 1: as you start. Jury Pigeons Sunday said he's got a
Speaker 1: start pitch because he's the guy I picked up a
Speaker 1: couple of months back in our twenty ten league and
Speaker 1: I've been loving it when we come back. Jason Star

Speaker 1: Best Friends Forever Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You have to
Speaker 1: day star question, Mike, have you seen it yet? I
Speaker 1: have not a right good I haven't seen I have
Speaker 1: not looked at the answer at Venture has actually been
Speaker 1: crushing these. Yeah, we miss Venture here because he's actually
Speaker 1: be very very good at these. When Mike Chout hits
Speaker 1: his two home run this season, he will become the
Speaker 1: fourth active player that has at least two hundred fifty
Speaker 1: home runs all for one team. Who were the three
Speaker 1: active players with that have two hundred and fifty or
Speaker 1: more home runs that have only played for one. No,
Speaker 1: it's where we do this as a team, Ryan Braun,
Speaker 1: that's definitely right. Sad his teammate Albert Pools. No, he
Speaker 1: played for two teams. But that's not I thought you
Speaker 1: just meant he had to do it for one. He's
Speaker 1: played for just tea. Yeah, like that's why, Like Miggy's out,
Speaker 1: I think Broun is definitely right Ronado as he got
Speaker 1: it's fifty. No, I don't think so. I'd imagine he's
Speaker 1: pretty close. If not, if he hasn't already done this
Speaker 1: is my first instinct. Freddie Freeman Is he there? No,
Speaker 1: I would say Ronado is closer than Freeman. Okay, just
Speaker 1: naming guys, all right, you know what it is. It's
Speaker 1: probably really old guy Eyes who like just barely got it. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: still be on the team though. Remember there's three guys.
Speaker 1: You don't know what either, Greggy, I'm looking at the
Speaker 1: answer now, I don't know. Okay, Yeah, I'm I'm playing
Speaker 1: along here. Do you want me to check? If no,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna check. Can we get a guest from Yeah?
Speaker 1: Of course we're going with Joey Vado. Vado probably right,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. I don't know Votto has the
Speaker 1: home runs yet in that many years. He's been around
Speaker 1: for a long time. He's gotta have to fifty, Mike,
Speaker 1: his counting stats are really bad. Like maybe you got
Speaker 1: yeah for enough years, that's true. Anybody have any other
Speaker 1: answers before we before we look here? No, we're sticking
Speaker 1: with Vatto. I don't really have I don't really have
Speaker 1: anything great. How about Mookie's not there anything? Maybe there's
Speaker 1: Bryan Rizzo has been on multiple teams. Brian hasn't almost
Speaker 1: forget about that, right, don't. It's not there yet? Yeah,
Speaker 1: looking up, I'm trying to go like team by team now,
Speaker 1: Chris Davis Davis, No, he was on the Razors, Christie,
Speaker 1: and then he was on Milwaukee too. I thought you
Speaker 1: were talking about Chris Davis with the Oreo, So I
Speaker 1: was like, that wouldn't be Yeah, yeah, Joey yallow, he's
Speaker 1: not fifty yet. I heard a crazy status home runs
Speaker 1: before he gets hundred singles? All right? Well that was
Speaker 1: all that was one, And I'll give credit to Adam
Speaker 1: Aser the CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball Today podcast. He brought
Speaker 1: up these stats and they were insane. So the previous
Speaker 1: low for singles hit before you get to by by
Speaker 1: the time you get to a hundred, Joey Gallo just
Speaker 1: said it at like, has ninety three singles. He has
Speaker 1: a hundred home runs. The previous one was Russell Brandon
Speaker 1: had a hundred home runs hundred and seventy three singles.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's like eight less, so gentlemen, and
Speaker 1: he only has This is the this is the crazier stack,
Speaker 1: Greg Joe Gallo has one sacrifice fly in his career.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. Think about that. Yeah, one, Votto has one
Speaker 1: pop up to first base. Didn't he just get another
Speaker 1: one the other day? I think he has to. He
Speaker 1: got his first one the other Oh, maybe he has too,
Speaker 1: but that he had another pop up. So I just
Speaker 1: looked at the answer. Two of the three that we
Speaker 1: said are correct. Did you look at the answer? I
Speaker 1: didn't look at the answer when I was just bored
Speaker 1: and I was looking up. You're on a show. Sorry boring, Mike,
Speaker 1: We'll tell your story. I was just I wasn't in
Speaker 1: the conversation. So I was like, let me check these guys.
Speaker 1: So Ryan Brown is correct at three nine. The pit
Speaker 1: is correct with Joey vatdot to seventy two. Both of
Speaker 1: my answers of Arnado and Freddie Freeman are both at
Speaker 1: one six. They have the same amount of all runs.
Speaker 1: We did not get the third one, who is at
Speaker 1: two sixty seven? Was it gettable? They're all gettible, you know
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, is it an obvious? He's
Speaker 1: been on one team is entire careers for the home runs,
Speaker 1: so he's not like some scrub. But obviously, well you
Speaker 1: know the answer. I know, I know that I'm asking
Speaker 1: you right now. He's obviously been an elite for a
Speaker 1: long time and has two people we have gotten it.
Speaker 1: That's the question. Is it an obviously answer? Just tell
Speaker 1: us and and and I'll answer my own question, Steve,
Speaker 1: Do you have another answer, Steve Dave wait, I have
Speaker 1: a crazy guess. No, it's definitely what He definitely doesn't
Speaker 1: have too figs. I thought that mine was because you
Speaker 1: were like, oh, he's not a guy like who. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of home runs, but he's been in the
Speaker 1: legal while and like for some reason Brett Gardner popped
Speaker 1: in my head. But it's not. I didn't say he
Speaker 1: doesn't a lot of home runs. I said, we thought
Speaker 1: about Gardner as well, but I just figured not enough
Speaker 1: harm run due the fact that Botto barely broke it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you would think he he had shattered it
Speaker 1: like this person has less than bottom. He has five
Speaker 1: home runs less than Botto in his career. Is he
Speaker 1: older as like est age? Yes, he's probably right around
Speaker 1: the same age of American National League at least. Sure. Oh, actually,
Speaker 1: hold on Yadi. Yeah, he's a good guess, but it
Speaker 1: is not Yadi Molina. Good guess, not yet, but it
Speaker 1: is in the National League. Man, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think I got anyone. No, he's played for like eight teams.
Speaker 1: Who is the guess he's been around? Yeah, No, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have no, man, I don't have anything. So
Speaker 1: after Ernato and Freeman, who are at one ninety six,
Speaker 1: at seventy nine, is Alex Gordon. I was thinking Alex Gordon,
Speaker 1: but he didn't have enough home runs. Two d sixty
Speaker 1: seven home runs belongs to currently on the in your list.
Speaker 1: Oh that's how we forgot about him. It's Ryan Zimmerman.
Speaker 1: You know. I was thinking and at least too, I
Speaker 1: was just thinking about Anthony Rondoon. I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I doesn't have the longevity yet. Ryan Zimmerman, alright, So
Speaker 1: to answer my own question, that was kind of gettable.
Speaker 1: Of course he was gonnable. If the own runs has
Speaker 1: been a one team or a decade, you know, it's
Speaker 1: de Yeah, he's been, He's he's there. David, right, did
Speaker 1: you were said, are you leading off for the Angels tonight?
Speaker 1: We were just talking about this Tommy Stella. You haven't
Speaker 1: really talked about him yet today. Everyone's inside like Tommy
Speaker 1: Lostella is a fun player right now, but I do
Speaker 1: have concerns that he just doesn't play against lefties, like
Speaker 1: he should be owned an ale only he should be
Speaker 1: owned in fifteen teamers, but like anything shallower than that,
Speaker 1: I just I worried too much about playing time, which
Speaker 1: is fun, and that's I've picked him up in my
Speaker 1: fifteen teamers and I've been using him and him and
Speaker 1: Derek Dietrich. The last two weeks have been awesome for me,
Speaker 1: so like, and these are the guys I'm talking about
Speaker 1: when I say, like, when I picked up Tommy Lostella,
Speaker 1: unfortunately I dropped Howie Kendrick because that was when Key
Speaker 1: Boom came up, and I thought Kendrick was gonna lose
Speaker 1: the playing time. I wasn't thinking though Heyna had Stella
Speaker 1: all year, But the last two or three weeks he's
Speaker 1: been very good for me. So that's what that's my
Speaker 1: thinking with a lot of these pickups, like how do
Speaker 1: I keep like I went into in the great Fantasy
Speaker 1: based mutational knowing second base was going to be a
Speaker 1: weakness of mind. And names I've used this year are
Speaker 1: Ben Zobrist, Howie Kendrick, Tommy Lostella, guys like that, and
Speaker 1: it hasn't been terrible, Like these guys have been productive
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks and then I dropped him
Speaker 1: and I picked someone else up for cheap fab That's
Speaker 1: where I think Lostella and d Tcheck and those guys
Speaker 1: fit in and they should be fifteen team ads and
Speaker 1: nothing more than that. As of now, I would say
Speaker 1: Stella has nine home runs this year. He had ten
Speaker 1: career home runs entering this season. That is just crazy.
Speaker 1: Here he is. He's ripping too. I mean, he's got
Speaker 1: at hard hit rate, so he's hitting the ball harder
Speaker 1: lifting it. As you mentioned, thirty five, all right, the
Speaker 1: highest of his career, right, now he's leading off tonight
Speaker 1: against Dan Stralie, So a little little cheap option there
Speaker 1: for you in DFS, And I would agree that he's
Speaker 1: worth owning in deeper leagues, but maybe in like twelve
Speaker 1: team daily lineups when you can just kind of plug
Speaker 1: him in based on when he's playing, because it seems
Speaker 1: like whenever he plays against a righty he leads off
Speaker 1: for not a great lineup, but at least the players
Speaker 1: hitting behind him are really good. He's got Trout, he's
Speaker 1: got Otani right behind him too, So I would say
Speaker 1: in those formats, but like in your your twelve team
Speaker 1: roto league weekly lineups, or you're treat him, I don't know,
Speaker 1: treat him like you would like Jack Peterson, like he's Jock.
Speaker 1: When he Jock's gonna start against right he's and lead
Speaker 1: off and we know that, and he's going to crush
Speaker 1: right handed pitchers. It's just weeks where he has two
Speaker 1: three lefties, you put him on your bench. I've been,
Speaker 1: and again it's deeper formats, but I have Jack Peterson
Speaker 1: in all my fifteen team leagues and I've just been
Speaker 1: rotating him in and out based on the opponents for
Speaker 1: the week. You have a few more two star pitchers
Speaker 1: that we haven't mentioned yet today. I know a few
Speaker 1: people were talking about them during the break. Mike Kyle Gibson.
Speaker 1: I've never really been up Kyle Gibson guy, but over
Speaker 1: his last three starts, he's got two point zero zero
Speaker 1: e r A. He's got twenty two strikeouts during that span. Um,
Speaker 1: he's hot right now, and next week he goes off
Speaker 1: against the Angels and a Mariner's lineup that is cooling
Speaker 1: right now. Over his last four starts, even even you know,
Speaker 1: go back a little bit in four in a row
Speaker 1: that he's been pretty good coming off eleven strikeouts. I
Speaker 1: have a lot of interesting Kyle gets, and he's sixty
Speaker 1: owned on CBS, but I would think he's still out
Speaker 1: there lurking around in some twelve team leagues. I picked
Speaker 1: him up in our home league. He was either earlier
Speaker 1: this week or last week. I am a Gibson guy.
Speaker 1: I bought in last year. He pitched well. Last year
Speaker 1: he almost gave you two of a three point six
Speaker 1: e r A with just over eight ks per nine.
Speaker 1: And this year the strikeouts are up, and I know
Speaker 1: he had a living case in his last outing. But
Speaker 1: I think right now, Kyle Gibson, if you look at it,
Speaker 1: to me, the numbers are bad because the first three starts,
Speaker 1: but since then he's been like a different picture. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna continue to ride out the last four starts
Speaker 1: and believe that last year plus these last four starts
Speaker 1: outweighs the first the early season struggles and pitching on
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twin is a favorable spot to be in
Speaker 1: right now because you get to face the American League
Speaker 1: Central minus the Twins, so you get to face the Tigers,
Speaker 1: get to face the White Sox. He gets to face Point,
Speaker 1: so the Royals are a little bit tough for now.
Speaker 1: The top of that lineup is is really tough one
Speaker 1: to maneuver. But yeah, how Gibson in a really good spot.
Speaker 1: And I think that's you know why Jose Burrios might
Speaker 1: be going through a breakout this year, Greg And it
Speaker 1: might actually be legit because he um he gets to
Speaker 1: face some of these teams rot the season that just
Speaker 1: are a little bit awesomely challenged. The thing with the
Speaker 1: with Gibson like his really he had one real bad
Speaker 1: start this year. He went less than five innings, allowed
Speaker 1: five and runs to the Royals. It was his first
Speaker 1: outing of the year. It was, you know, early April
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Like, that's far from you know, suboptimal
Speaker 1: pitching environment. So maybe it's wrong of me to say,
Speaker 1: like I'll overlook that bad start and look at what
Speaker 1: he's done more recently. But I do think, you know,
Speaker 1: you got early in the season, you have to factor
Speaker 1: in the weather. Mikey A're gonna bring up a gross
Speaker 1: name right now. He loved this, alright. I know he's kind.
Speaker 1: You might you might have to put the clothes pin
Speaker 1: over the nose. Danny Duffy knew it. Danny Duffy has
Speaker 1: two starts next week. The underlying numbers are not good
Speaker 1: for Danny Duffy right now, but he is throwing his
Speaker 1: curveball a ton this year twenty percent of the time.
Speaker 1: That's the highest it's been since he's doing things a
Speaker 1: little bit differently. The swinging strike rate up a little
Speaker 1: bit from last year. Um the past two stars against
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and Houston, he's been pretty good. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: throw their name out there. He's got two starts next week.
Speaker 1: He's going up against Texas. At least it's at home
Speaker 1: in Kaufman Stadium. It's not in all intense, so that
Speaker 1: helps a little bit. And he's at the Los Angeles Angels.
Speaker 1: What do you think about Danny Duffy. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 1: doing it. The underlying numbers are gross. He's averaging just
Speaker 1: over six ks per nine, although his walk rate is
Speaker 1: almost even to that at three point five. Like, I
Speaker 1: think he's been very favorable so far, and to me,
Speaker 1: he would be like a guy if I was really
Speaker 1: desperate in a points league and like Sam sitting there
Speaker 1: like after this week on two and four, one in
Speaker 1: five and things haven't been going my way and I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to load up on two starters. Sure, but
Speaker 1: in a road of league where he can get lit
Speaker 1: up against the Rangers and then that's gonna stick with
Speaker 1: my ratios all year. It's just too risky for me.
Speaker 1: So there's a potential of that. I'm two and four
Speaker 1: this week in our home league after my matchup Mike,
Speaker 1: you would recommend me picking up Dann Duffy. No, unless
Speaker 1: you're desperated and just trying to load up on two starters,
Speaker 1: like if your rotation got depleted, like I know one
Speaker 1: owner in our league is his rotation is depleted. It's
Speaker 1: just a ton of injuries that happened to him. And
Speaker 1: if he was like, you know what, my only chance
Speaker 1: is to load up on some of these low level
Speaker 1: two starters and and trying out, you know, just outstart
Speaker 1: my opponent. That's the only way I would really be
Speaker 1: interested in Duffy. Mike, you want to make a trade
Speaker 1: in her home league? Um? Probably not. But what are
Speaker 1: you offering? Well, I have I have two Rockies that
Speaker 1: I'm offering up, Daniel Murphy. I got David dal and
Speaker 1: I got jan Carlos Stain. You have any interest? Stanton
Speaker 1: is dead? Um, that's nice. That's that's quite rude. Actually,
Speaker 1: I mean, Greg, you've said that in the past and
Speaker 1: we called you out for it, and you no idea
Speaker 1: what you're referring to. I I do not want Stanton
Speaker 1: right now. The only one I'd be interested in is
Speaker 1: maybe Murphy. But I got I got big Travy show
Speaker 1: over at second base. That doesn't seem very good. That's
Speaker 1: that's very bad my outfield. I mean, I'm gonna roll
Speaker 1: with it. It's chu Conford o Quigan yellowish like I'm
Speaker 1: comfortable with that. Good though needs to turn it around, man,
Speaker 1: you can turn it around on my team. I'll trade
Speaker 1: to Daniel Murphy for him that I might consider whoa
Speaker 1: Mikey Mikey trades out here. Mikey likes it. We'll talk, Mike,
Speaker 1: We'll be in touch. I gotta make something happened, man.
Speaker 1: This team is so frustrating and threw. I threw a
Speaker 1: rant the other day about about Daniel Murphy and David
Speaker 1: dal kissing me off. Mike's team name in this league,
Speaker 1: by the way, standfill Slayer, you're the king, know well.
Speaker 1: He beat me and my dad back to back week,
Speaker 1: so I had to. I had to. I'm gonna change
Speaker 1: it back now because I lost since I've changed it
Speaker 1: so and I've been meeting to change it all week
Speaker 1: and just forgot. I think I need to change my
Speaker 1: team name. That's why it's so bad. I have John Carlo,
Speaker 1: non c Post Parlow, Greg Tea four because Stanton is
Speaker 1: a clown. And I don't even know why I drafted him.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't even like him. I don't know
Speaker 1: why we drafted him in G S T two man,
Speaker 1: and we could have had like Bower, But I get
Speaker 1: it in value is too good. But we're still in
Speaker 1: second without staying and without all so I and we
Speaker 1: get Alles medals back tonight. I'm well, we'll get him
Speaker 1: back in our line up Monday. But I am. I
Speaker 1: am excited about that G S T T team. I
Speaker 1: think we have a very good team. We got shot,
Speaker 1: we got a shot all the up. How do you guys?
Speaker 1: We have a lot of depths and you crushed us
Speaker 1: for a pitching staff, which is actually carry us amazingly.
Speaker 1: We have, we have barrios and we're gonna need that
Speaker 1: depth though, because like unfortunately like Paddock, he's awesome. He's
Speaker 1: gonna get a phantom DL center or in an limited
Speaker 1: or something at some point in time. I do wanna
Speaker 1: congratulate former met legend James Lone on a fantastic career.
Speaker 1: He's retired. Congratulations to Jimmy Lonnie h that's twenty that
Speaker 1: second half of it'll it'll forever be remembered. I guess
Speaker 1: James lon at least a Yankee minor lead deal at
Speaker 1: one point never played the former Tampa Bay legend as well,
Speaker 1: have a legend obviously with the Dodgers. Wow, what a guy,
Speaker 1: James Loney, Why are you climbing on James Loni. James
Speaker 1: Loni is for some reason, he's like the worst player
Speaker 1: you can have on your team because he's he's a
Speaker 1: good defensive first baseman and that's what he brings to
Speaker 1: the table. And like, that's the one position where I'm like,
Speaker 1: throw a butcher up there and let's get someone who
Speaker 1: could hit. But the Mets decided to go to the
Speaker 1: opposite direction, as did the Dodgers for a while. By
Speaker 1: the way, Austin Meadows is in the line up tonight
Speaker 1: leading off for the Tampa Bay Rays ice, so all
Speaker 1: is well right there. Uh, I would say Garcia is
Speaker 1: the d H batting six today for Tampa Bay Flora.
Speaker 1: This weekend, oh, this weekend tonight, as Core would say,
Speaker 1: gonna get a little enhanced. I'm gonna I'm gonna tonight,
Speaker 1: I'm going to this fried chicken place. Actually, you guys
Speaker 1: would like it. They have good drinks and stuff. And
Speaker 1: then tomorrow, apparently my buddy is taking me to the
Speaker 1: best Mexican restaurant he's ever had, and so I'm really
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. And then we're gonna go see
Speaker 1: the long shot. What is the long shot? Seth Rogan
Speaker 1: shirleyst their own. Oh yeah, this is all right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen previews for that, Like certainly it's
Speaker 1: his highest It's Seth Rogan's highest rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes,
Speaker 1: which speaks volumes because I think Seth Rogan makes a
Speaker 1: lot of good movies. I'm kind of out on Rotten Tomatoes.
Speaker 1: Why I don't but yeah, I mean they rated to
Speaker 1: get Out one and I was just like it was
Speaker 1: a good movie, but not this weekend. I got some
Speaker 1: got some mother Sday stuff going on tomorrow, going out
Speaker 1: for brunch, um, going out tonight for another Birdy Perthday.
Speaker 1: There you go, all right for everybody downstairs? What I think?

Speaker 1: read what he has to write at band tracks and
