I got my boy Donnie Burns with me 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:15.160 on the ones and twols so hot that we sweat steam. 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.120 How are you feeling Donnie, not too bad, Dane. How 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:18.920 we're doing We're doing good. We're doing good. What I 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.800 want to do real quick before we get into the 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.840 meet of the show, We're gonna get into the starting cipher. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:24.800 I'm gonna give you speeds to starting lineup. But of 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.199 course we're gonna put the fun and Functional Sports radio. 0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.600 But let me let you know what two poles we've 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.440 got up this hour, so you can go on that 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.320 fn T s Y radio Twitter handle and you could vote. 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.720 Let us know. First of all, we had the Masters 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.199 over the weekend, so I want to know about golf, 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.360 and I gotta admit I'm something of a novice when 0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.440 it comes to golf. But I'm hearing about this rule 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.360 where you can call in. The viewers can call in 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.000 and challenge and call rules and fractions, and I don't 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.200 know how I feel about this. So my first question 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.600 for you up on that Twitter pole is do you 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.040 agree with this rule where fans can call in for 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.480 potential rules in fractions and violations and actually give the 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:06.040 golfers penalties. Let us know how you feel about that. 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.640 I also have another poll question up because this is 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.960 the last week of the regular season in the NBA. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.799 The playoffs get started next weekend on Saturday. So there's 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.560 a couple of interesting storylines going on in my opinion, 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:21.880 and I want to know, what do you think is 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.960 the biggest storyline? Is it concern over the calves and 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.000 their defense then blowing a twenty six point lead. Isn't 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.040 this m v P race that we've been talking about 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.000 for a long time Russell Westbrook, James Harden and some others. 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.680 Or is it team's tanking the player's rest. I know, 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.920 my boy Donny Burns is gonna have something to say, 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.960 you know, speed susmitting statistician is gonna have something to say. 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.440 So come all right back, hollow at your boy. It's 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.680 the Fantasy freestyff on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network and 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.560 of course across the country on our Sports Byline affiliates 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.520 and around the world with American Forces Service Radio. Come 0:02:53.560 --> 0:03:06.480 on right back, We're gonna have some fun. Ah oh weird. 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.600 You know what it is. This is your boy, Dane Martinez. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.680 You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.200 Radio Network. And of course I want to give a 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.560 big shout out to all our sports Byline affiliates across 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:22.440 the country and the American Forces radio network around the world. 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.200 Let's get as started right now with my boy Donnie 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.880 Burns on the ones and twos. Let's give you speeds 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.120 is starting lineup the stuff you need to know around 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.400 Major League Baseball. For some news and notes from over 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.040 the weekend, Gary Sanchez, the Yankees catcher, was headed to 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.280 the d L with a biceps strain. They're saying that 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.040 he is going to miss about four weeks. Make sure 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:45.480 you have a contingency plans at catcher. Buster Posey left 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:48.440 today's game after getting hit in the head with a 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.360 ninety four mile an hour Taiwan Walker fastball. He left 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.960 the game. We'll have to see an update on that 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.640 to see if he's in the next Giants game. Jackie 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.280 Bradley Jr. Also Headed to the d OUT with a 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.960 hyper extended knee. Remember it is the ten day d L, 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.920 not the fifteen day d L, but Jackie Bradley will 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.800 be missing missing for the rest of this week for 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:11.600 the Boston Red Sox at least. Tray Turner also going 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.880 to the d L for the Washington Nationals with a 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.760 hamstring strain. A lot of hamstring strains going on in 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.200 Major League Baseball. And uh, there's another one today. Jean 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:25.479 Segura leaves the game today against the Houston Astros. He 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:28.840 strained his hamstring. We're gonna find out a little bit 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.680 later on this week when I bring back licensed certified 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.840 athletic trainer Thomas Lowe. We're gonna ask is this common? 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.640 Is it common to get this many hamstring injuries early 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.120 in the season. It seems like that happens not only 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.760 here in baseball, but also in the NFL early in 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.680 the season. We're gonna try and find out from the 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.040 from our trainer, a friend of the program and see 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.719 if that's, ah, that's a common thing early in the season. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.520 Hanley Ramirez still out with the flu for the Boston 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:59.200 Red Sox and Xander Bogart's flight was canceled coming back. 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.320 He was on the bree minute list. He should be 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:05.520 fine and Xander Bogart should be back in the lineup tomorrow. 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.760 I'll tell you what speeds and smitten statistician knows about 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.320 the flight issues coming from the Caribbean. And when we 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.279 have a little bit of fun and functional sports radio 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.960 a little bit later on, we're gonna be talking about airplanes. Uh, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:19.679 and some things you might have seen on the internet 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:24.400 that happened on airplanes. Today, Philly's manager Pete mccannon met 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.880 with jen Mark Gomez about the closer role. I was, 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.279 like many other people, thinking it was gonna be Hector 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.719 Maurice taking over for jen Mark Almos, but instead it 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.760 is Joaquin Bena. So go get Joaquin ben Way if 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.159 he is still on your waiver. Wire. Also want to 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.839 talk about the impact of blisters, because you know, not 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.320 only do a lot of guys have tight hamstrings early 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.240 in the season, but I'm hearing a lot of about 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:55.520 blisters for pictures. Very interesting though, uh thor Mr Syndergard 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.680 seemed to be just fine after his blister issue. He 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.000 over the weekend when seven things, giving up only one 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.039 run with nine strikeouts and win over the Marlins. On 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.359 the flip side, though, Rich Hill is going to the 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.680 disabled list with the very same blister issue. I wonder 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.960 what is the difference. Will maybe ask the trainer that 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:19.560 as well. Interesting. Note, everybody just chill, It's only one week, okay. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.600 But after one week, the Diamondbacks, Twins, Reds, Angels and 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:28.760 Rays are all in first place. All of those teams 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.839 won less than seventy five games last year. I kind 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.560 of think that those guys will find their way back 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.800 to the bottoms of their divisions, but anything can happen 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.880 in a given week. What I want to do is 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.359 catch you guys up on Remember on Friday show, I 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.880 gave you the starting pitchers that I liked all weekend long, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.800 and of course we hold ourselves accountable here on the 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.919 Fantasy Freestyle. So I gotta tell you I had a 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.400 decent weekend. I told you that I liked Cardinals starters 0:06:55.920 --> 0:07:00.080 all weekend long against those Cincinnati Reds. Mike Leak on 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.200 Friday was one of them. He got a quality start, 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.640 eight innings pitch, giving up only one run with six strikeouts. 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:07.280 I hope you listen to me when I said to 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.360 pick him instead of a guy like Francisco Liriano who 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.160 got lit up and has one of those e r 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:13.800 A s now that it's something like a hundred and 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.160 thirty five something like that. Hopefully use Mike Leak on Friday. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.880 I also told you that I liked Michael Waka on Saturday. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.400 All he did was get a quality start and they win, 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.200 giving up only one run in six innings and striking 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.840 out six. I also told you guys that the way 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.240 to win in DFS is sometimes to pay up for 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.320 the stud pitchers when you have them in good matchups. 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.240 And I told you that the San Francisco Giants in 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.800 San Diego with their one and two pitchers over the weekend, 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.720 I thought that was good money. What they do. Man 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.840 bum eight innings, pitch to earn runs, five strikeouts. He 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.960 got you a quality start. Johnny Quato yesterday, seven innings, 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.000 pitch to earn runs, seven strikeouts. He not only got 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.760 you the quality start, he also got you the win. 0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:00.760 Let's talk about who I like tonight. I think there's 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.440 two two starting pitchers that you gotta go with tonight. 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.800 Benny Riccardi gave him to you, gave him both to 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.920 you in that last show the DFS lineup Block. You 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.240 gotta pay up for Jacob de Gram tonight ten tho 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.880 dollars on fan duel. He's the second choice behind Lester. 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.280 I do believe. I like that. Listen, six strikeouts in 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.800 six innings and his last start, he's gonna be a 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.000 guy who gets you a strikeout per get to a 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.320 strikeout per inning. I like that, even on the road 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.800 against what I consider a light hitting Philadelphia Phillies team. 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.679 The other guy I like is Brandon Finnegan. We talked 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.520 about this. Uh, he looked like a beast in his 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.480 first time out. I think he could replicate that again 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.920 in that matchup. Right now, they are in the first 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.760 inning against the Pirates. UH, Cincinnati maybe working to get 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.360 him a lead early on. We'll keep an eye out 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.720 on that and all the rest of the scores around 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.400 the league as we continue on here on the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.240 If you want to talk to me about anything that 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.800 we're gonna be talking about, the poll questions, your DFS 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:00.959 lineup for the weekend, Well, what you're doing tonight, you 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.080 can hollow at me at eight four four eight four 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.920 three six eight seven nine, And as always, you can 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.840 also put in questions at f n T S Y Radio, 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.640 on Twitter or at spin Speeds to hollow at me. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.079 Dave Martinez. The other thing I'm gonna tell you tonight, 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.960 we got the Rockies at home in Cores against the 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.000 San Diego Padres. The Padres are throwing Jared coz Art. 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:27.760 Jared Cozart did not make the Padres rotation coming out 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.160 of spring training, and you ask yourself who did make 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:34.160 the Padres rotation coming out of spring training. You know, 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.760 I mean it wasn't Jared Cozart, and that means he's 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.800 gonna be throwing batting practice. Get all the Rockies you 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.480 possibly can into your lineup, but don't sweat it. You 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.160 also can get some Padres in your lineup. There's some 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.720 cheap options, okay, guys like uh, guys like Marco, Guys 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.960 like even Janetkowski. If you want some steals in the 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.760 two spots. The other thing, I'm gonna tell you we've 0:09:56.800 --> 0:10:00.360 got some great to start weeks coming the this week, 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.600 I already mentioned Jacob to Graham. We talked about Finnegan, 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.200 one guy I kind of like he already had. He 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.840 already had one start today. If you look at that 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:15.199 Astro's Mariners game, you got Paxton and you've got Charlie Morton. 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.280 I like both of them in their second start this week, 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.960 especially Morton. He will be at Oakland, the light hitting 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:26.080 Oakland team in the Oakland County Coliseum. I like that. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.960 Moving forward, I also want to tell you, you you know, 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.760 here on the Fantasy Freestyle, what we do is, uh, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.560 we do a little bit of diamonds in the rough 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.760 and we do our fantasy fool gays these people to 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.080 forget about. And I'm gonna tell you, going into this weekend, 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.319 you would have never guessed it. But ya C L. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.719 P Week was number one on the Player Raider with 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.000 a one point eight one three o p s and 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.360 then in Colorado, Okay, fine, it faded down to one 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.480 point one six four four the season, down to number 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.360 twelve on the But here's what I think is most important. 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.880 What's most important is I think Yassi LP Week may 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:05.480 have his head finally on straight. Check this out quotes 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:09.320 from ya C. L. Puig and I quote, you have 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.640 to behave yourself and get here early to prepare. That's 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.720 how things go the right way. You will. You would 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.640 not have heard that out of Yasiel Puig. You would 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.880 not have heard that out of Yasiel puigu Uh you 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:27.280 know seasons ago. Okay. Now here's another thing out of 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.280 Yasiel Puig. I don't think these are quotes you're gonna 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.480 hear like two or three years ago. Okay. He's also 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.600 consciously looking to change his launch angle. Remember I told 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.360 you about how people are looking into these advanced stats, 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.120 and the launch angle is one of them. He's now saying, 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.839 and I quote, what I think about is putting the 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.880 ball in the air, or else I will have no 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.199 money in my pocket. He knows that the way for 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.160 him to get a deal is to hit these fly balls. 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.720 They go over the wall, those powers. That's or where 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.400 it is here, my fool gazes for you. Okay. And 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.640 unfortunately a lot of these guys are heading to the 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.880 d L. I'm talking about rookies. Gary Sanchez before he 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:07.280 went on the d L entering that series was one ops. 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.559 Now we're gonna have to wait four more weeks to 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.920 hear him. Trey Turner was to a thirteen before going 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.000 on to the d L with a stram with a 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.400 strain hamstring. And Chris Bryant started the season going oh 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.240 for thirteen, doing a little bit better now got seven 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.680 hits over the weekend. But uh, maybe raising the banner 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:28.160 in Wrigley will help him out. We will see check 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.120 it out when we come back. We're gonna get into 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.280 speed cipher here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.160 Sports Radio Network. We're gonna talk about these golf rules. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.360 We're gonna talk about the most important story leading into 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.760 the NBA playoffs, and we're gonna have a little guest 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.720 here who was at Yankee Stadium for the home opener. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.040 Michael Pinata looked really good today. We'll talk about that. 0:12:48.160 --> 0:13:05.559 I'm de boy Day Martinez will be right back. You 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:07.599 know what it is. This is your boy, Dave Martinez 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.360 speeds the spitting statisticians. And we are back on the 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.319 Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And of 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:14.839 course I want to give a big shout out to 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.600 all our Sports Byline affiliates across the country and also 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:22.240 around the world with American Forces Network Radio. We have 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:25.280 a special guest here. I'm gonna tell you something. We're 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.200 here in New York, here in uh Rock and Riley's 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.960 studio thirty four, right across street from Madison Square Garden 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.800 in the shadow of the Empire State Building. And as 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.520 you may or may not know, the Yankees without Gary 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.160 Sanchez had their home opener today. Okay, so I'm a 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.880 Yankees fan. I'm a Yankees fan. So earlier this morning 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.520 I got a text from one of my friends asking 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.079 me if I'm at church today, and and and you 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:51.839 might ask yourself, what do you what do you mean? 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.760 Palm Sunday was yesterday. It's not Eastern yet. What are 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.880 you talking about? Church is Yankee Stadium? Okay, church is 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.320 Yankee Stadium. Was not going to church because I had 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.599 to get this show ready. But what do you know, 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.160 I'm on the air and all of a sudden, my 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.320 home girl, Miss Lindsay McNeil comes on into the studio 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.520 straight from Yankee Stadium. How you doing, Lindsay? Hella? Lovely? 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:19.680 How you doing? Church day? Happy opening? Absolutely, church open today. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.480 It was lovely. So Tommy, Tommy, tell me how what 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.880 was the atmosphere like? There was no banner to hang, 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.880 But what was it like there for the pined to start? Uh, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.240 you know, getting to see some of the baby Bombers 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.120 introduced on the baseline. Was there a new a renewed 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.680 sense of optimism for Yankee fans in the building. It 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.600 was so lovely being in the building. It was a 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.160 great excitement energy. There wasn't a hit till about the seven. Yeah, 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.320 and so tell me about this. I called Michael Pinata, 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.480 usually Michael Pinata because he gets beat down most of 0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.040 the time, but he had his good stuff that it 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.480 was absolutely amazing. We were just all screaming and we 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.520 kept being oh my god, oh my god. And one 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.400 of my friends kept saying, isn't no hitter? And I 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.600 was like, shot up shot, you're not supposed to say, 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.840 said your friend Jinx the no hitter. Well, I didn't 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.520 say drinks. But when he finally did leave his seat 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.120 at the what was the middle of the half of 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:09.080 the seventh in it was right after that we did 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.480 that y M c A. I'm not gonna say he 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.920 chinxed it. But it was a great game. Everyone was happy. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.160 It was seventy four degrees, it was great. It was 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.400 day after palm it. We were just enjoying the energy. 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.440 Everyone was so happy. Beautiful day in the stadium, A 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.040 great time to see a game. Now, Tommy Lens, what 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.560 do we expect for the Yankees this season? You know, 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.280 we're kind of on the upswing. We cleared out all 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.240 the old money with the Yankees and we are moving 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.840 forward with a sense of optimism. Kids like Bird and Sanchez, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.160 neither one of whom you saw today. But do we 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.200 do we feel good about some of these young kids. 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:42.920 We think they're gonna take that next step. I am 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:48.120 it just feel like it's a whole regeneration rejuvenation. We 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.880 beat Orioles yesterday and I know Adam Jones does play 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.280 for the Orioles. I just feel so happy. It's a 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.680 great way to start out the church. It's a great 0:15:56.760 --> 0:16:00.400 new day and new beginning. I just we just need this. 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.000 I feel like it's a great way to start. I 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.960 think we're gonna we'll do hit playoffs, will do a 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:10.080 lot of great things. Fantastic, fantastic.

I got a couple of poll 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.280 questions because I know you are a lady that loves 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:39.600 all sports, including the NBA, and I know I know, 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.320 well we're about to get started. One of the pole 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:44.120 questions we have up right now that you can answer 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:45.760 right now on that on the Twitter on fn T 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.280 s Y radio, is what is the biggest storyline going 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.440 right now in this NBA season where we are. Do 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.480 you think it is concerned for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Remember 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.800 they blew a twenty six point lead. We don't know 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.000 if they're really feeling right. That's option A. Or is 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.040 it this m v P race we're talking about. You 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.920 got Russell Westbrooken is averaging a triple double, but many 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.720 people speeds, including the things that James Harden is a 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.960 legitimate m VP candidate playing all the games, playing through 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:19.240 injured risks and the like, or or yep, yep, yep. 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.400 Or is it this idea of the NBA resting their 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:25.160 players and the teams resting their players so much, maybe 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.359 on the second night of back to backs or what 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.360 have you? You know, this this issue with them resting 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:32.720 all the time. Or is it my fourth choice, which 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.280 is the idea of all these teams trying to tank? 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.520 The Lakers are trying to tank, but they've won four 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.960 in a row. It's not really helping them. Of these 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.680 which do you think is the biggest storyline in the 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:43.840 NBA right now? I think the biggest story is Russell 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.840 westbrook going listen, I'm sorry and everyone talking about Lebron 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.720 all the time. There's all these other teams. Great Lebron 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.560 lost law SiGe, He's not God. I'm sorry the other years. 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:56.720 I don't think he should have had as many ranks. 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.320 People can come from me. You bring your hate. I 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.480 think some times he flops or he okay, okay, so 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.280 clearly not a Lebron fan. What was that? How about 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:09.720 them Yankees? I'm a Lebron friend, but so many times 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.080 he thinks he should get every foul call a lot. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.080 Yesterday was a great game. It was a great day 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:19.280 in sports, absolutely the Masters, great baseball. We had so 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:22.240 much going on yes my brain almost explained, well, we 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.280 don't want that to happen. Lindsay, thanks so much for 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.600 joining the show on the Fantasy Freestyle. Come on back 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.920 any time. We'll get into our news and notes there. 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.439 We talked about the NBA, we talked golf, we talked 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:36.480 MLB Opening day for some teams at home, including the 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.200 New York Yankees. But I got some news and notes 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.960 from the NFL as well. There is more than just smoke. 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.600 I think there was fire here. Albert Brier now reporting 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.919 that Malcolm Butler may wind up going to the Saints. 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.840 But if he does, and if he does Richard Sherman, 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.040 we know he's on the trade deadline, on the trading block. 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.920 He may go to the Patriots. Remember the Patriots really 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.719 prioritizing coverage over pressure on the quarterback. Signed Stephen Gilmour 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:04.000 from the Buffalo Bills. Um earlier on. In free agency, 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.480 the Atlanta Falcons have signed Desmond true Font to a 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:12.040 five year, sixty nine million dollar extension. They say the 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.560 next person to get their contact will be DeVante Freeman. Um. 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.240 They're gonna try. They're gonna try and give him an 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.679 extension before camp. He's still playing on the last year 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.679 of his rookie deal, making only one point eight million dollars. 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.159 Keenan Allen of the Los Angeles Charges says that he 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.879 is at eighty five percent coming back off his A 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:33.879 c L injury. And in Denver, head coach Vance Joseph 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.560 says that Trevor Simeon is a full go for O 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.720 T A S and that he will be in a 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.879 competition with second year quarterback Paxton Lynch and that it 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.320 is fifty fifty it can go either away. Like I said, 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.359 I got two pole questions up and thanks again for 0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:51.040 Lindsay for stopping by here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.600 The first pole question I had was what was the 0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.200 biggest storyline in the NBA and this last week of 0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:58.840 the season. You heard the options, You heard Lindsay's take 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.159 on it. She was very happy after her day at 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:05.240 Yankee Stadium during the day celebrating Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.480 Here's my other pole question for you. Do you agree 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:12.560 with this golf rule where fans can call in that 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.440 are watching it and they can call in with potential 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.920 rules and fractions or violations. Yes or no? I don't 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.440 think I don't think this is viable. Okay, listen. I 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.960 loved watching the Masters, so Gero Garcia winning. There was 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:27.359 great drama in the back nine with Justin Rose. I 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:29.679 saw them, you know, they were friends, They had camaraderie. 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:31.879 I saw them high fiving stuff like that. But I 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:36.399 don't know how I feel about this idea of viewers 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:38.720 being able to call in foreign fractions. I saw it 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:41.640 possibly with Sergio Garcia when he was in the pine 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:45.840
