Speaker 1: Gregg Sauceman. Naddy mo on the way as well. Frankie
Speaker 1: was going on, Greggy, what's happening man? Happy Monday to you,
Speaker 1: big weekend. A lot going on in the fantasy base world,
Speaker 1: A lot going on in the baseball world, isn't that?
Speaker 1: What's going on in the baseball world, the fantasy baseball well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you're a Mets fan, right that
Speaker 1: wasn't advantaced. I don't agree with you. I don't have
Speaker 1: there's much going on. I mean it was Zach Gallon
Speaker 1: bidding weekend. I mean that's it's pretty relevant. But like
Speaker 1: what was he a past now? Like what else happened
Speaker 1: Bobby Bradley debut? You're not you're not pumped for Big Bob? Nope?
Speaker 1: All right, well then I don't know what tell you? Greg? Alright,
Speaker 1: so not much happened from me. Okay, how was your walking?
Speaker 1: You a little like sixteen strikeouts and it's pretty good.
Speaker 1: How's your day off? How's my day off? It was great,
Speaker 1: It's great. I went out walking around Gallavanti neighborhoods and
Speaker 1: brunch some beers, and then I went out to the
Speaker 1: Yankee game and it was a great, great game on
Speaker 1: Friday night. I enjoyed it. It was fun. Some of
Speaker 1: your bunch of pictures. You were stuff going on. Michael
Speaker 1: Kay couldn't talk. It was great, But what was going
Speaker 1: on with him? He like lost his voice and then
Speaker 1: the hit a home run. There's a lot of going on,
Speaker 1: like the like the labor Tour is playing in the
Speaker 1: eighth inning. He should have lost his mind now and
Speaker 1: be like oh what applied by tours was like labor
Speaker 1: the second first I'm like, oh, man, come on, dude,
Speaker 1: come on, all right, let's bring some of us probably
Speaker 1: much more excited about what happened in baseball this past weekend.
Speaker 1: That's Mr mamod. What's up Addimo? Oh and he's gone,
Speaker 1: do we have mad emo guys? Yea, all right, he's
Speaker 1: a mad I don't know. I'm waving hands and stuff. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: happy Monday. Let's start off that way. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: Frank was right though. There was a lot going on
Speaker 1: this weekend. You know, there was a lot of closing
Speaker 1: and opportunities that you know came to uh that were
Speaker 1: you know, you could have got William Hendricks, who's now
Speaker 1: they presumed closure for pretty much, you know, not a
Speaker 1: lot of money. Uh. John Gant might be a new
Speaker 1: closure despite being blown up last night. Uh, Pagan is
Speaker 1: back in the mix. So there's a you know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting avenues to Roman fab Jack Gallant
Speaker 1: was obviously the highlight and stuff like that. But I
Speaker 1: think the logan Allen was your guy I wanted to
Speaker 1: get I just didn't have enough money. So a lot
Speaker 1: so the closures were the story of the weekend, then,
Speaker 1: is what it sounds like. Maddie Moe was saying here
Speaker 1: with Johnny Yankees lose one game, and Greg's out on baseball.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, yeah, nothing happened, nothing happened. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Yankees lost esterday. Oh yeah, there's nothing going on
Speaker 1: in baseball. Nothing to see here. Well, we'll just cancel
Speaker 1: the show. Greg, how about that the canceled the show. Frank,
Speaker 1: that seems dramatic, but like that, there's a lot going on.
Speaker 1: Did you try to beat anybody up yesterday, like Mickey
Speaker 1: Callaway or what. No. I was at an eighth grade
Speaker 1: graduation yesterday afternoon, so I was kind of behaved and
Speaker 1: all that I was watching. You know, maybe some kids
Speaker 1: beat each other up, but that's about it. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, you know, if you if you, if there
Speaker 1: was anyone you were trying to beat up in an
Speaker 1: eighth grade graduation, I mean, somebody probably went terribly wrong. Bed.
Speaker 1: I don't like, like, let's talk about matches broke down, right,
Speaker 1: there's all these there's these new closes. You're all good
Speaker 1: for closers, John Gant, this is what we're gonna believe in.
Speaker 1: John Dants the closure in St. Louis, Jordan Hicks out
Speaker 1: for a little while, potentially we think John Gant's gonna
Speaker 1: be the guy. No way, I guess stinks. Guy stinks.
Speaker 1: I know, I know John Gant. He's one of these.
Speaker 1: He's one of these, uh fifth starters that St. Louis
Speaker 1: has had it for years. I don't care if her
Speaker 1: as two forties kad walkerziers thirty seven at twelve, it
Speaker 1: means nothing. He stinks. I mean, it seems pretty relevant.
Speaker 1: Craig Brown up yesterday. He did, but you know he
Speaker 1: was due and even after that, he's got a two
Speaker 1: point four zero year a Greg. It seems like it's
Speaker 1: coming down between him and Carlos Martinez. If if something
Speaker 1: is dramatically wrong here with Jordan Hicks, who I recommend
Speaker 1: should be out of your lineup to obviously for this week.
Speaker 1: They only have five games this week, and he's going
Speaker 1: for an m r I today because of a tricep injury.
Speaker 1: I am not a doctor. Hopefully we'll get Dr A
Speaker 1: or Virginia on later on in the week, but I
Speaker 1: would imagine someone who throws a hundred miles per hour
Speaker 1: who have a tricep injury is not a good thing.
Speaker 1: That no, that's uh two words no blaino. So I'm
Speaker 1: kind of I have both have the two shares of
Speaker 1: each Um she mark who I was gonna cut last
Speaker 1: week for some reason, I didn't and I guess I'm
Speaker 1: happy about that now. But from hearing um John Mosiacs comments,
Speaker 1: it does sound like Again is the guy initially, but
Speaker 1: Martinez I think will be involved if Hicks has an
Speaker 1: extended absence. I agree. I think even if it's just precautionary,
Speaker 1: he's going on the ill, he cannot be in your
Speaker 1: lineups this week. And Jordan Higgs has four teen saves
Speaker 1: on the season, Greggy, and he's been up and down
Speaker 1: at times throughout the season here. But John Gant has
Speaker 1: three saves on the situation on the season, and we've
Speaker 1: seen that whenever Jordan Higgs gets in trouble, they've gone
Speaker 1: to again. Now, Karlis Martinez has two saves as well
Speaker 1: this year and later on in the season last year
Speaker 1: we saw him because take over the closer's role, so
Speaker 1: at least he has that experienced. So it could be,
Speaker 1: you know, both of those guys could be Gant, it
Speaker 1: could be Carlos Martinez as of right now, I think
Speaker 1: they have a little bit more faith in Gant and
Speaker 1: his numbers overall are a little bit better than Carlos Martinez.
Speaker 1: But you know, I'll just throw the name in the mix.
Speaker 1: I mean, the one who might deserve it the most,
Speaker 1: just based on how he's pitched out of the bullpen
Speaker 1: this year. Greg And now we can work in some
Speaker 1: Yankees talk here so I can get you engaged a
Speaker 1: little bit. Former Yankee Giovanni diegos Gregg with a two
Speaker 1: point six zero e R a twelve point seven case
Speaker 1: per nine, he might be the most effective reliever in
Speaker 1: their bullpens so far this season. I'd be surprised if
Speaker 1: the closer if Jordan Hicks is out for this season
Speaker 1: or something significant. I don't want to you know, Chris
Speaker 1: Jeudan Hicks or anything, but if he's out for significant
Speaker 1: period of time, I strongly believe that utimate, Carlos Martinez
Speaker 1: will probably the closer of this team. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Forget about Andrew Miller, Iy that's where I thought you
Speaker 1: were going with the former Yankee. He hasn't had a
Speaker 1: great year's ear as over four. But again, if Jordan
Speaker 1: Higsburg miss a significant period of time. I expect the
Speaker 1: closures to be Carlos Martinez, Andrew Miller, someone that's done
Speaker 1: it signif he can leave before uh not Giovanni Diegos,
Speaker 1: uh not John GYANTT. I have a feeling it will
Speaker 1: be Carlos Martinez or Andrew Miller. It seems like they
Speaker 1: like Andrew Miller in his role that he's been in
Speaker 1: so so far this season. And you're right, he hasn't pitched. Well,
Speaker 1: you're a over four and you know he does have
Speaker 1: one save on the season, but both Carlos Martinez and
Speaker 1: John can have more. So I think where they're at
Speaker 1: right now, they have a little bit more faith in
Speaker 1: those guys. So I mean, he could just end up
Speaker 1: being a frustrating situation. And again we're just speculating. We
Speaker 1: don't even know if there's anything significantly wrong with Jordan Hicks,
Speaker 1: but I would imagine, you know, he's at least out
Speaker 1: for a couple of days while he gets this m R.
Speaker 1: I if it reveals something that maybe he lands on
Speaker 1: the I l But I would think for now there's
Speaker 1: probably at least two guys with Gant, Carlos Martinez, and
Speaker 1: maybe even a third if they want to work in
Speaker 1: Andrew Miller, so it might be a frustrating situation, but
Speaker 1: we'll find out soon enough. One player that won't be
Speaker 1: an option is Alex Reyes, who who heard a peck right?
Speaker 1: Was that? Was that? The injury of peck uh in
Speaker 1: tri Valletti. We thought he was closing in a couple
Speaker 1: weeks ago about being a starter in this rotation for St. Louis.
Speaker 1: If the injuries Jordan HIGs are significant, you wonder that
Speaker 1: they would have called him up for a relief role. Again,
Speaker 1: not gonna be the case. You have lead having an
Speaker 1: m R I or an X ray on that pack.
Speaker 1: We'll say, I mean, I feel bad for the guy.
Speaker 1: Like former top prospect in baseball, top pitching prospect, has
Speaker 1: electric stuff near a hundred mile per fastball upper eighties
Speaker 1: slider as well, Uh, he has great swinging miss stuff.
Speaker 1: But Alex Reyes, now, I mean from Tommy John to
Speaker 1: last year with the lad now this year he's been
Speaker 1: dealing with a whole bunch of different injuries. Now he's
Speaker 1: got the pick injury. It just seems like, man, I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's ever going to be healthy, and
Speaker 1: and it's it sucks because I think that if he
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to start at the major league level,
Speaker 1: he might be able to have some success. So that
Speaker 1: this has been a really, really unfortunate situation. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: has been really unfortunately. I think they need to just
Speaker 1: maybe reboot him right now, shut him down, rebooted going
Speaker 1: to next year. I don't know what kind of help
Speaker 1: he can have this season. And and like you said,
Speaker 1: it's a shame. I going about three weeks ago, maybe
Speaker 1: four the most he was on the cusp of getting
Speaker 1: called up and having a rotation spot, and then he
Speaker 1: got blown up in the minors for like seven runs.
Speaker 1: He walked a bunch of guys, and that just seemed
Speaker 1: to spiral out of control over these last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: And now with this injury. You know, I I just
Speaker 1: think the bullpen, like you guys have mentioned, I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a mixture of a gain of a
Speaker 1: sea Mark Andrew Miller say when they got you know,
Speaker 1: left the matchups there. So look, as long as you
Speaker 1: can get some saves, you don't need as many shaves
Speaker 1: as you have in the past. So I think everybody's
Speaker 1: kind of an option here. Yeah, And I think that's
Speaker 1: it's word of bringing up what's going out there, what's
Speaker 1: going on out there in Oakland as well. Greg with
Speaker 1: with Blake train and being shutdown, you could tell he
Speaker 1: just wasn't right. Since he's returned in early May when
Speaker 1: he was dealing with elbow discomfort, he's made eighteen appearances
Speaker 1: and he's got a four point eight seven e r
Speaker 1: A during that span, with a seven point nine seven
Speaker 1: ink per nine, four point four three walks per nine,
Speaker 1: So just clearly not nearly as dominant as he was
Speaker 1: last year. It could have been that elbow that he
Speaker 1: was dealing with, and now he's been shut down with
Speaker 1: shoulder discomfort, So just a whole bunch of things going
Speaker 1: on with that arm right now for Blake trying and
Speaker 1: and they did announce over the weekend that Liam Hendricks
Speaker 1: is going to be the closer for the time being.
Speaker 1: On the season, he's got a one point four nine
Speaker 1: e r A, fifty strikeouts and forty two and a
Speaker 1: third endings pitched. But he does have a four point
Speaker 1: five four x fips, so perhaps some regression coming. And
Speaker 1: I think everyone thought that Luke Trevino would probably be
Speaker 1: the next man up, but he's been a little bit
Speaker 1: more inconsistent over the past month or so too, so
Speaker 1: it seems like it's gonna be Liam Hendrix. Uh, Maddie moo.
Speaker 1: Did you have any play tryin and shares? Did you
Speaker 1: end up with Liam Hendrix this past weekend? Uh? Did
Speaker 1: you expect it to be him? Did you think it
Speaker 1: was gonna be Trevino? How are you handling the whole
Speaker 1: Oakland A situation. I did not have any blake, tried shares,
Speaker 1: really didn't invest in the top two closures coming into
Speaker 1: the year. Uh. Look, yeah, he has not in the
Speaker 1: same picture. A shout out to Brian Slack of HQ.
Speaker 1: He had a chart showing and over the last month
Speaker 1: or so since he came back from that initial you know,
Speaker 1: first injury would have shut him down for a day
Speaker 1: or two, he's not been the same picture. Trevino. Earlier
Speaker 1: in the year, I thought it would be an excellent handcuff.
Speaker 1: I bid it up. I did bid on him like
Speaker 1: about whatever. It was a month or so ago. I
Speaker 1: didn't get any shares. But it's been evident that it
Speaker 1: is Liam hendricks At being the guy. And what was
Speaker 1: great about this one was the a's came out right
Speaker 1: after that game and said, Hendricks is the closure right now,
Speaker 1: So at least you had that clarity when you were
Speaker 1: bidding on him. Is he a slam dunk guy? Absolutely not,
Speaker 1: but he has done some really nice things. I did
Speaker 1: not get any Hendricks, though I did try to get him.
Speaker 1: I just you know, at this point in time in
Speaker 1: the season, the money is uh, dwindling away. Yes it is.
Speaker 1: And we saw Liam Hendrick, let's go for a hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty three dollars in my Great Fantasy Baseball Invitation.
Speaker 1: And I believe he was already owned in our main
Speaker 1: event league, Matt, because I went searching for him and
Speaker 1: I couldn't find him anywhere, So I assume he was
Speaker 1: already owned there. Uh. And then I'll look up GSC Greggy,
Speaker 1: another fifteen team league where I'm sure people were bidding
Speaker 1: on Liam Hendricks last night. We didn't really need him
Speaker 1: because we have Chapman, we have Shane Green, we have
Speaker 1: Ian Kennedy as well, so we're pretty good in that department.
Speaker 1: And Hendricks went for a hundred and forty seven dollars there,
Speaker 1: So you're looking for anywhere between twelve and fifteen percent
Speaker 1: right now when it comes to uh Liam Hendricks in
Speaker 1: these deeper rodal leagues. As Matt said, we like about
Speaker 1: Liam Hendricks in the a situation. It toldus who the
Speaker 1: deal is, right, They said that right now Leam Hendrick
Speaker 1: already converted a safe Saturday. So being able to know
Speaker 1: that he's coming in in the C in the safe
Speaker 1: situation getting the job done, it makes our lives a
Speaker 1: little bit easier, um when it comes to Oakland, kind
Speaker 1: of like in Tampa Bay where our lives seemingly are
Speaker 1: a little bit easier right now as well, do you Castio,
Speaker 1: it's the d L who's the Albroado has been out
Speaker 1: Amelia Pogon's last man standing. Yeah, I know, I mean,
Speaker 1: but God was a guy that he had three saves
Speaker 1: in a week. I remember as it seems like it
Speaker 1: seems like a lifetime ago, but it's probably like six
Speaker 1: weeks ago or something like that. I did get him
Speaker 1: in a couple of spots, not for a lot of money,
Speaker 1: but he never produced anything and has been cut well
Speaker 1: before and now with Castillo going to the i L,
Speaker 1: I still think Alvarado Alvarado is the guy, excuse me,
Speaker 1: that will finish the season with the most saves. For
Speaker 1: Champa Bay. But look, if you can get begun on
Speaker 1: the cheap, you gotta jump on that. And even if
Speaker 1: it's only a handful of saves or something for the
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, it's still a handful of saves
Speaker 1: on the cheap where you know you're just maximizing opportunities.
Speaker 1: And what and what we've seen all season Greg with
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay raises that they like to use two
Speaker 1: different guys, whether it's you know, just to keep opposing
Speaker 1: teams off balance, ort to have like one right and
Speaker 1: one lefty. Alvarado has been dealing with the issues with
Speaker 1: his family. Seems like he'll be back soon, but if
Speaker 1: the Diego Castio injury last, then at least they could
Speaker 1: still have their lefty in Alvarado and their righty in
Speaker 1: Emilio open once again, let's take a break when we
Speaker 1: come back. More from Matt Modica. How much does that
Speaker 1: Gollan go for next? Daily Rodo dot Com learned from

Speaker 1: I'm the Pelicans, I actually wouldn't. Yes they get along,
Speaker 1: and yes they played together, but I think they're both
Speaker 1: too big for the same court here at the NBA,
Speaker 1: I think you're almost better off getting a player that
Speaker 1: will really compliment sign better than having two sort of
Speaker 1: future stars off the court getting in each other's leg.

Speaker 1: That it's fun. It's very nice, very very nice. It
Speaker 1: was good to celebrate, and a lot of great food,
Speaker 1: of course, And then yesterday I was in like, uh
Speaker 1: where I was I Prospect Park. It was my Prospect
Speaker 1: Park yesterday at a friends, are weecue? Are we getting
Speaker 1: to that point in the year where every weekend you
Speaker 1: have either a wedding or a bachelor party. Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: we've arrived. So we've arrived. So I get tired, hungover,
Speaker 1: greggy on Monday's just expected basically. Yeah. So I'm usually
Speaker 1: okay from these bachelor parties, like I usually I'm doing
Speaker 1: it well. Now I've gotten older when I understand. So
Speaker 1: I come home like the first flight out on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So I get home, I have all day to wrest.
Speaker 1: So I'm back to me on Monday, you know, Okay,
Speaker 1: So I mean you gotta give yourself that buffer that day.
Speaker 1: So like on the wedding. The wedding was in Long
Speaker 1: Island on Saturday night, I was home on an uber
Speaker 1: at two thirty five in the morning slate late on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I'm back to me right now, aren't I say? Nice? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's what Sunday's usually are. That's the move.
Speaker 1: That's that's the move. Wake up, you're right for the
Speaker 1: Patreon watch some baseball. I go to the parents, I
Speaker 1: eat some dinner, come home, look at my fab bids
Speaker 1: and that's it. That's Sunday. And then um next week,
Speaker 1: no weddings or engagement parties. Week. We got I have
Speaker 1: a graduation party on Saturday night. All right, Well you
Speaker 1: got something something. It's my it's my niece's second birthday. Similar,
Speaker 1: it's my it's my cousins graduation party. All right. That's
Speaker 1: just going on on this upcoming week for Frank and
Speaker 1: myself Madillo. This past weekend, it was a Zach Gallant weekend,
Speaker 1: as Frank alluded to, and inside the miniment, Gallen went
Speaker 1: for one hundred and eighteen dollars. What do you think
Speaker 1: of the bid? What do you think of what do
Speaker 1: you think of Gallan's first performance? Mikey and I talked
Speaker 1: about it on Friday, And what do you think of
Speaker 1: Zallan going forward? Were able to obtain him this week?
Speaker 1: And there's this thing about the Marlins. Look, I know
Speaker 1: the Marlins entering the season with this horrific team. Either
Speaker 1: we're gonna just be god awful in every aspect. That's
Speaker 1: not the case. As of like last Friday, they had
Speaker 1: the seventh best starting pitching e r A. In MLB
Speaker 1: ahead of a team that has Sherzer, Strasbourg and Corbin.
Speaker 1: So that's that's that's pretty amazing right there. I think
Speaker 1: the offense has gotten a lot better. Gallon's a guy
Speaker 1: that you know, he was part of the uh oh
Speaker 1: soon a deal and he's he's you know, he's really
Speaker 1: moved up the ladder this season with fantastic year at
Speaker 1: Triple A. He showed that, you know, he could command
Speaker 1: his picture as well in his opening start. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be like an ACE
Speaker 1: long term, but for fantasy purpose rest of the season.
Speaker 1: Who's an arm of interest for me? And it seems
Speaker 1: like everybody else. But what's interesting to me is the bids.
Speaker 1: Like I play mostly in fifteen teamers, I have to
Speaker 1: twelve team online championships, which uh I don't consider my
Speaker 1: strong shot, but somehow I'm in the first place in
Speaker 1: both and I got gallant in one of those leagues.
Speaker 1: I've been seventy nine dollars. The runner up bid was eleven,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what the hell happened there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's an interesting one. I mean, normally these players go
Speaker 1: for less than twelve team leagues. But I mean for
Speaker 1: the backup bid for Zach Gallant to be only eleven
Speaker 1: dollars out of a thousand, I think that's very surprising. Still,
Speaker 1: congratulations for getting Zac Gallan share their Matt Modica. And
Speaker 1: you know last night in the Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational
Speaker 1: that's a fifteen team mixed Roto went for two hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy nine dollars, and then in Matt and Eyes
Speaker 1: main event, he went for a hundred and eighteen dollars.
Speaker 1: That's also a fifteen team league with a one thousand
Speaker 1: dollar budget. I was the backup bid at sixty three dollars,
Speaker 1: But I mean, realistically, I never expected to get him anyway,
Speaker 1: but still a little sad to see that I was.
Speaker 1: I was the backup bid. You know, I had to
Speaker 1: go back and watch the start Greg because we were
Speaker 1: doing a ton of NBA Draft coverage Thursday night while
Speaker 1: Zack Gallen was pitching, and I thought he looked pretty
Speaker 1: good for the most part. Um, I thought that the
Speaker 1: way that he pitches, it seems a little bit stiff,
Speaker 1: a little bit upright, uh, you know, average around ninety
Speaker 1: three miles proud for that fast plays a four pitch
Speaker 1: mix you know, he works in the curveball as well.
Speaker 1: He uses a cutter um. But he looked pretty good.
Speaker 1: I mean I tend swinging strikes on pitches. He eat
Speaker 1: the first pitch strikes to eighteen of twenty two batters.
Speaker 1: I thought that was more telling. When it came to
Speaker 1: Zack Gallen, Matt, you know, I want to get your
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. Do we expect him to be up
Speaker 1: long term? Because when I was talking about this last week,
Speaker 1: when we first found out he was gonna get called up,
Speaker 1: I kind of prefaced everything with I don't know that
Speaker 1: he's going to be up long term here, because I mean,
Speaker 1: these situations happen when it comes to process. I mean,
Speaker 1: as Quest and Hira, the guy was, he was performing well,
Speaker 1: but he was just a casualty of the numbers game.
Speaker 1: Now Jordan Almamoto is pitching well for this team, Pabo
Speaker 1: Lopez is hurt. It seems like Caleb Smith is going
Speaker 1: to be back at some point. So do you have
Speaker 1: any worry if if when you were bidding on Zac
Speaker 1: Gallen that he's not gonna be up for the long haul,
Speaker 1: is that in the back of your mind? I mean,
Speaker 1: they's just there's just a small thought of that as
Speaker 1: you as you are correctly uh stated what's happened this season,
Speaker 1: and that that that that is a possibility. But I
Speaker 1: don't think you could be scared. I think you got
Speaker 1: a bid on the talent. I think he's much more
Speaker 1: talented than Jordan Almodo, even though, you know whatever, his
Speaker 1: first three starts have been quite amazing. But I think
Speaker 1: he's more I don't want to say smoking mirrors, WHI
Speaker 1: that makes the challenge. He's not good at all, but
Speaker 1: kind of like wins on deception, I guess something like that.
Speaker 1: So I think gallants here to stay. I think there's
Speaker 1: also very good possibilities guys like Trevor Richards gets traded,
Speaker 1: uh if Caleb Smith, if the team makes a move
Speaker 1: on a Caleb Smith, I think Miami would be interested
Speaker 1: in moving him now at pretty much his high point,
Speaker 1: even though he's put so well this year, because he's
Speaker 1: had past injuries and stuff, and if they can get
Speaker 1: a nice return, why not do it. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: Matt bings a good point when it comes to Caleb Smith.
Speaker 1: He was not as out prospect by by any means
Speaker 1: traded away from the Yankees. You've heard that before. And
Speaker 1: his stuff is really really good, and is he going
Speaker 1: to be a part of these Mets future for this match,
Speaker 1: there's Marlin's future when they're ultimately good again, probably not.
Speaker 1: And people are impressed with what older than people realize.
Speaker 1: I think exactly exactly. He's in the prime of his
Speaker 1: career right now. He's not an up and coming prospect
Speaker 1: by any means. He has a ton of control on him.
Speaker 1: So once the Marlins get good again, and at some
Speaker 1: point they will, Calin Smith is not gonna be a
Speaker 1: part of that. And I think right now, when a
Speaker 1: team can control him for a significant period of time,
Speaker 1: when he's fastball velocity is still where it is. When
Speaker 1: people are as desperate for pitching right now as they
Speaker 1: always are, I think the Marlins will get their biggest return.
Speaker 1: I completely agree with that now has be a traded
Speaker 1: guy away like Caleb Smith. Well, I'm hoping so then,
Speaker 1: because so that we should see Zack Gallen around for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Again, like Matt alluded to,
Speaker 1: he wasn't regarded as a top prospect. He was like
Speaker 1: barely inside the top twenty on MLB dot Com for
Speaker 1: the Marlins prospects coming into the season. But you know,
Speaker 1: and he wasn't on the forty man roster because he
Speaker 1: wasn't expected to be this good this quickly. Now he
Speaker 1: had an upticking fastball velocity this year, and again, I mean,
Speaker 1: he was completely crushing Triple A and the PCL, so
Speaker 1: a league that's regarded as you know, a very very
Speaker 1: hitter friendly league. I mean, one point seven seven e
Speaker 1: r A, zero point seven seven whip hundred and twelve strikeouts.
Speaker 1: All three of those lead the lad the Pacific Coast
Speaker 1: League at Triple A. So you know, I hope Zach
Speaker 1: Allen sticks around. I did just did kind of want
Speaker 1: to preface that and get that in there. But hopefully
Speaker 1: hopefully he is around, you know, whether it's you know,
Speaker 1: via trade Caleb Smith, or something else happening here. With
Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins, their pitching staff has been really good, Greg.
Speaker 1: I think I saw a graphics yesterday too, was that
Speaker 1: right now they're they're starting pitcher. E r A is
Speaker 1: the lowest it's been in their franchise history. I know
Speaker 1: they haven't been around forever, but collectively they've done a
Speaker 1: really nice job. Absolutely absolutely. I I Caleb Smith and
Speaker 1: this Morlands organization, their pitching snaff has been very, very good.
Speaker 1: And it's why when it comes to the Vandal sports book,
Speaker 1: I like betting on them because you know, they're pitching
Speaker 1: staff for the most part. Frankie's son keep him in
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, And you know a lot of people
Speaker 1: were killing Derek Jeter and what are you doing. He's
Speaker 1: trading away you know to uh two m v p s.
Speaker 1: At the time, we didn't know Yells was gonna be
Speaker 1: an MVP. Man, it might be this year's MVP again.
Speaker 1: I mean it probably should be Uh and then traded
Speaker 1: away Marcela Zuna. Everyone's freaking out. And you know, earlier
Speaker 1: this year, Greg I said, look, he's building the team
Speaker 1: around their home ball park. It's a it's a monster ballpark.
Speaker 1: It's a really big ballpark. And you know, he's putting
Speaker 1: together a really good staff of young starting pitchers who
Speaker 1: have upside. So I think, you know, uh, shout out
Speaker 1: to Derrick Geter. And you know, I'm sure some of
Speaker 1: it was whoever was there before him as well, it
Speaker 1: was Deeter, But I think there's a method to the
Speaker 1: madness creaty absolutely Okay, So Zach Gallant, no doubt, the
Speaker 1: big name, the big picture that was brought up over
Speaker 1: the weekend that you paid for but out of bern
Speaker 1: also as it was also somebody that Matt, you were
Speaker 1: excited about last Monday getting the call and he went
Speaker 1: for twelve bucks to Frankie inside the main event. Matt,
Speaker 1: what do you think of Frank's by and what do
Speaker 1: you expect this guy in the future. Yeah, no, I
Speaker 1: like him for the future. I got him in another
Speaker 1: main event. I'm not sure if from starting him this week,
Speaker 1: which I don't know what the plan is, how many
Speaker 1: innings is he gonna go? He did go four innings
Speaker 1: versus the Mets. I listened to that on the radio.
Speaker 1: I listened to the Cubs broadcast actually, and they were
Speaker 1: pretty pumped for rightfully, so you know, one of those
Speaker 1: endings he struck out the side I like as a say,
Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things for the rest of
Speaker 1: the season. If he does secure a rotation spot, I
Speaker 1: think he's a two pitch pitcher for the most part.
Speaker 1: That might be a little tricky, but I think there
Speaker 1: is talent here, so you know, I want to be involved.
Speaker 1: But Logan Allen was the guy that I really wanted
Speaker 1: and I thought I might be able to get him
Speaker 1: on the cheap. That did not happen at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Logan Allen, we spoke about him last week to the
Speaker 1: whole story with John Cena and everything that was going
Speaker 1: on there. You go with with the with the one
Speaker 1: dollar bet involving John Cena and Logan Allen. He looked
Speaker 1: pretty good in that start, and he faces the Baltimore
Speaker 1: Orioles this week. I agree with you, Matt. I actually,
Speaker 1: you know, made a ranking of this week's um available
Speaker 1: starting pitchers, and you know I had Logan Allen ranked
Speaker 1: higher than an advert als lay. Look, Alsa, I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I think he has upside. He's you know,
Speaker 1: one of the top pitching prospects, and the Cubs organization
Speaker 1: is like their fourth rank prospect. He only threw fifty
Speaker 1: five pitches last time out against the Mets. He only
Speaker 1: went like four innings in relief. I believe he's expected
Speaker 1: to start this week. I think that's start also comes again.
Speaker 1: I think he's supposed to pitch against the Atlanta Braves,
Speaker 1: who one of the hottest hitting teams in the month
Speaker 1: of June. So I'm with you, Matt, Like I picked
Speaker 1: him up. You know, I lost Frankie Mantas in the
Speaker 1: main event, I lost Pablo Lopez, so I actually lost
Speaker 1: two pretty big pieces of my pitching staff there. So
Speaker 1: I'm I'm taking a shot on some upside here. Sur
Speaker 1: Price only get him for twelve bucks. I thought he
Speaker 1: would have went for more. But yeah, like you said earlier,
Speaker 1: you know I don't have a lot of money left either.
Speaker 1: Again I will I will never never forget the fact
Speaker 1: that Carter Key Boom sucked up all my fab and
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for him to come back. But you know,
Speaker 1: as a late went for a hundred and nine dollars
Speaker 1: in the Great Fantasy Base Momentation, So I always kind
Speaker 1: of like to compare those because they're both fifteen team leagues,
Speaker 1: and you know, to be able to get him for
Speaker 1: nearly a hundred dollars less, I was excited about that.
Speaker 1: But I do agree with you. I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: rolling him out there this week if he's starting against
Speaker 1: the Braves, because it's a brave I mean, I really
Speaker 1: don't want to start many pictures against them right now.
Speaker 1: The way that the Real Quick, yep, real Quick Frank
Speaker 1: Frank got him for twelve dollars, I would love to
Speaker 1: have got him for twelve. I think I got him
Speaker 1: something similar in one of my other means, Like I said,
Speaker 1: happy to have him. I think with the tg FBI,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, I think I screwed that acronym up.
Speaker 1: I apologize, but I think that's you got a lot
Speaker 1: more guys that are heavy prospect guys as well too.
Speaker 1: Even though the NPC we love kids, you know, we
Speaker 1: love all these young arms and that. So, but I
Speaker 1: think that was the right move. But shout out the
Speaker 1: frank frank what do you are you in first or
Speaker 1: you know, the half of point out of first in
Speaker 1: our main event, so that job. Don't let the car
Speaker 1: to key boom things. Yeah, last time I checked, uh,
Speaker 1: I wasn't first place in the main event. I'll check
Speaker 1: it again right now. There you go, I dropped out
Speaker 1: there you go half a point right now, a hundred
Speaker 1: and eight and a half points. Uh, yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to pick it back up. He's got Aaron Judge back,
Speaker 1: you know, Dee Gordon came back recently as well. But yeah,
Speaker 1: losing Frankie Mantas and Pabol Lopez, um, we talk about
Speaker 1: should talk about FANKI about Fanki Montas because that broke
Speaker 1: down like Friday, right, I guess after work right around
Speaker 1: there probably, And I remember just being devastated because Freddie
Speaker 1: Mantas has been so so good for fantasy teams and
Speaker 1: for the A's and now you know why. And ultimately,
Speaker 1: if you're not a keeper league spending for eighty games,
Speaker 1: Florio did the math for you on Twitter, as many
Speaker 1: other people did. He comes back like six games to
Speaker 1: go in the season, which means in in non keeper
Speaker 1: leagues and your standard yearly leagues, Frey Mantas, it's over.
Speaker 1: It's over now. My question was, and I'm gonna throw
Speaker 1: this to you, Matt. With Mantas now out for the year, essentially,
Speaker 1: will the A's more quickly bring up Haze's Lazardo to
Speaker 1: fill the spot. I don't know if they're gonna be
Speaker 1: more quickly with that, just for the fact that this
Speaker 1: is like one of their franchise pieces going forward, and
Speaker 1: I think they really want to be cautious due to
Speaker 1: lose the setback he had h in spring training, so
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna rush him. But the fact
Speaker 1: that they have Luzardo coming, they have Mania on the
Speaker 1: men who you know was pitching really well last year too.
Speaker 1: I think they got some reinforcements. You know, Puck is
Speaker 1: going to pitch out of the bullpen from what I've heard,
Speaker 1: so you know, they they're getting reinforcements. I still don't
Speaker 1: know how to healthy A's are where they are now.
Speaker 1: They had another nice run. They seem to do this
Speaker 1: every year, so you know, kudos to them, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're doing. And Brent Anderson rolls
Speaker 1: up like a month of pitching excellence, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: always mystified. Yeah, the Oakland A's. Look, it's really odd
Speaker 1: because nice little juxtaposition, Greg, because you compare the Miami
Speaker 1: Marlins and the Oakland A's, and you know they both
Speaker 1: have similar home ballparks, bigger home ballparks, but uh, the
Speaker 1: Oakland A's are doing it a little bit differently than
Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins. I mean, there's different ways to win
Speaker 1: in baseball. And they have a lot of guys on
Speaker 1: that Oakland A's team right now that can hit for
Speaker 1: home runs when it comes to Chris Davis and Matt
Speaker 1: Olson and Matt Chapman and Ramote Loriano has been red
Speaker 1: hot too, but yeah, they've been getting it done. With
Speaker 1: they with the who's who cast of starting pitchers Mike Fires,
Speaker 1: Brett Anderson, Chris Bassett, Tanner Anderson for the Oakland A's
Speaker 1: as well. I agree with Matt. I don't know that
Speaker 1: this is going to accelerate the process for Hazel's Lozardo.
Speaker 1: You know, we probably see him early second half, you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks after the second half begins. Something
Speaker 1: like that. Could be a similar, uh situation for what
Speaker 1: is the gentleman's name. Matt just brought him up, Shalan
Speaker 1: I Shalman I who pitched well last year for them,
Speaker 1: So Shalmania, Hazel Cizzarto, the reinforcements are coming for them,
Speaker 1: Lose Blake trying and like it's it's just the who's who.
Speaker 1: It's crazy, crazy situation that's going on. He did get
Speaker 1: hurt last night, um with a side issue I saw
Speaker 1: as he was rehabbing here. Now. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's an oblique or something like that, but he was
Speaker 1: hurt last night in this rehab assignment. Meanwhile, Crazy's Lozzardo
Speaker 1: later this week in Triple A will go up to
Speaker 1: seventy five pitches, becoming an option quite quickly. I think
Speaker 1: for the a's his last outing with sixty one pitches.
Speaker 1: He loves two runs, five strikeouts, and three and a
Speaker 1: third inning. By the way, my um my opponent this
Speaker 1: week picked up Anthony de Lefani yesterday for a spot
Speaker 1: start and he got He got bombed. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: he has absolutely bombed. It's kind of like mikes are
Speaker 1: in here. But um, we're closing strike ats. So at
Speaker 1: the time I looked at with out of five nothing
Speaker 1: the er he was like fifteen, but he had all
Speaker 1: nine outs via the strike out. Through three innings. Every
Speaker 1: outfit Anthony desk Lefani had yesterday was via the strike aut.
Speaker 1: I thought that was crazy. Yeah, Anthony Discofani, he it
Speaker 1: seems like he does this every year where he kind
Speaker 1: of of uh tantalizes us a little bit. He's got
Speaker 1: the swing and misseduff the shrikeouts. Seems like he's he
Speaker 1: always should have been better than he actually is. And
Speaker 1: he'll put together a few good starts here and there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, for the most part, um, it's inconsistency when
Speaker 1: it comes to Discofani. We go through these stretches where
Speaker 1: it looks really good and then he reminds you that
Speaker 1: he's Anthony Discofani and that he pitches in the great
Speaker 1: American small park lady. Absolutely, Yeah, I'm Frankie Mantas. If
Speaker 1: you're playing like in Dynasty or Keeper, I would try
Speaker 1: and get him. Maybe the owner is just really piste
Speaker 1: off and you know, furious that he's out for the year.
Speaker 1: I would be all over him for next season. I
Speaker 1: think that split is real, and you know that that's
Speaker 1: a pitch that's gonna further him on. Yeah. I agree
Speaker 1: with Matt here too. You know a lot of people
Speaker 1: are gonna say, oh, well, the reason why he was
Speaker 1: pitching so good was because he was using performance enhancing drugs.
Speaker 1: If you look at his career numbers, he's someone who
Speaker 1: always threw the ball hard, and I think the fact
Speaker 1: that he worked in this splitter this year was what
Speaker 1: helped him get to this level. I mean, sure, you know,
Speaker 1: p might have had some kind of influence here, Greg,
Speaker 1: but I don't know that they're the only reason that
Speaker 1: he was pitching as well as he was. I agree
Speaker 1: with you. We'll take a break when we come back,
Speaker 1: we wrap things up with Modica, we go to the
Speaker 1: two star pitchers, and that comes your way. Next. Lose

Speaker 1: mentioned before, Frank, when you're saying the stuff that happened
Speaker 1: this weekend, Bobby Bradley got called up. He went for
Speaker 1: eighty eight bucks in r G S T League, three
Speaker 1: bucks in g d D, two bucks in your home league.
Speaker 1: And tell us about Bobby Bradley. Who's gonna play? Who
Speaker 1: he is, what he does well when he doesn't do well?
Speaker 1: Who is Bobby Bradley? Yeah, he's the big power prospect.
Speaker 1: I think the power is legit. He's got a sixty
Speaker 1: grade power and you know, you have twenty four home
Speaker 1: runs in Triple A so far this season. The batting
Speaker 1: average is a little bit, uh misleading. He had a
Speaker 1: two batting average and at the minor league level, but
Speaker 1: over the past two years of Triple A he's had
Speaker 1: an in a strikeout percentage over thirty two per cent.
Speaker 1: So I think he's gonna struggle for batting average. But
Speaker 1: the pop is legit, and especially this year, where you know,
Speaker 1: the ball is just flying out of the yard, I
Speaker 1: expect him to hit somewhere in like the middle to
Speaker 1: lower end part of the Indians lineup, anywhere from like
Speaker 1: five to seven probably, but yeah, he can. He can
Speaker 1: be legitimate power power source here, and um, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm expecting. You know. It's eighty eight dollars in G
Speaker 1: S T three dollars in G D D, so I
Speaker 1: think anywhere from like I think eight eight dollars is
Speaker 1: probably a little bit too much, but anywhere from like
Speaker 1: a three to six percent bid next week when he's
Speaker 1: available in NFBC, I think makes a lot of sense. Matt,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Bobby Bradley. Look, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you said it perfect you're you're you're buying him
Speaker 1: for power. When he makes contact, the bull is gonna
Speaker 1: go really far. But when you're striking out a third
Speaker 1: a third of the time in the minor leagues, that's
Speaker 1: not a good indication for what's gonna happen to you
Speaker 1: in the majors. So you know, I would take the risk.
Speaker 1: I'm with you three D six percent, I think is fine. Uh,
Speaker 1: if you're really desperate, I don't. I don't think you're
Speaker 1: getting you know, I'd rather I'm more happy you're having
Speaker 1: a guy like Garrett Cooper, who are I picked up
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Ah, He's been tremendous and
Speaker 1: a much more consistent bat. But I will say this
Speaker 1: about Brandy, He's got like Peter Alonso type power or
Speaker 1: something close to that. So shall I pick him up?
Speaker 1: That's a big question here, Gregg. Do you need a
Speaker 1: first baseman? Greg? Do you need home runs? If the
Speaker 1: answer to those questions are yes, then yes, you fry
Speaker 1: to pick him up. Who you're dropping is the other question.
Speaker 1: I guess. I say, usually make a move in the
Speaker 1: pit league and then like all my players get hurt,
Speaker 1: so it's a disaster. So like I have currently five
Speaker 1: players on the disabled list or the injured list. It's
Speaker 1: called the Yao Corey see your hunter pants, Yanni Diaz,
Speaker 1: Byron Buxing, and Pablo Lopez. It's like a drop somebody loves. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's not really any timetable for Pablo Lopez
Speaker 1: and yeah, with everyone else hurt on your team, I
Speaker 1: think he's probably a casualty there unfortunates coming back to
Speaker 1: sweet probably, so I check them that. So when's uh,
Speaker 1: Yandy says he could come back on Thursday. That'd be good,
Speaker 1: all right. So I kind of want this guy. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't drop Yandy Das for him. I want to drop
Speaker 1: newon Has for him. Yeah, I think that makes sense.
Speaker 1: That's fair. But I don't want to wait to pick
Speaker 1: up yet too early, all right, So I'm gonna pick
Speaker 1: him up right now. You not, please, I'm trying. I
Speaker 1: first come, first served, Gregory, sorry, and I love the
Speaker 1: first come first survey. I don't want you to do
Speaker 1: that at the moment because I want this guy. I
Speaker 1: don't need him, alright, cool. I got Freddy Freeman, I
Speaker 1: got Max Munsey, all right, So your boy Matt Garrett
Speaker 1: Hampson got got called back up this weekend. Is he
Speaker 1: to be the guy that short was Brendan Rogers to
Speaker 1: be the guy? I don't know. I put in a
Speaker 1: couple of small bids to try and get some carrot
Speaker 1: hits and you won't quit. I love it, you know,
Speaker 1: just because for fantasy he has speed. Oh he's been
Speaker 1: atrocious on the major league level, but his speed is topic.
Speaker 1: There's no denying that. Brandon Rogers, I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's ready yet. Maybe his future he's going to be
Speaker 1: a impact player, but so far what I've seen, he's
Speaker 1: not ready for prime time at the moment. So I
Speaker 1: won't be shocked if Hampston was to hit a little
Speaker 1: and startch deals and basis we can see. I don't
Speaker 1: know how long this story is supposed to be out there,
Speaker 1: that's my questions. I've seen conflicting reports. Yeah, so Trevor
Speaker 1: story originally was going to be out for weeks. That
Speaker 1: was the report. I remember on Friday, we're all doing
Speaker 1: Gloomwar Floria and I and then he said yesterday, Hey,
Speaker 1: I expect to be back my ten days. Arerong Like
Speaker 1: what I I Yeah, that doesn't seem smart for Trevor
Speaker 1: story or the Rockies organization. I know that they played
Speaker 1: a little bit better recently and they were expected to
Speaker 1: at least compete for a wild card spot this season,
Speaker 1: but um, they need to they need to be smart
Speaker 1: when it comes to Trevor's story. Again, you gotta almost
Speaker 1: protect him from himself. Uh. And we've seen, you know,
Speaker 1: guys come back from injuries, especially to like fingers are
Speaker 1: like parts of their hand like this can easily slow
Speaker 1: down his production too, So I'd rather them just give
Speaker 1: him the proper time that he needs. And it is
Speaker 1: worth mentioning that since he's gone down, Brendan Rodgers has
Speaker 1: started every game at shortstop. They've been playing Garrett Hampson
Speaker 1: in the outfield. Uh. This is really the It seems
Speaker 1: like this is the Colorado Rockies worst nightmare because now
Speaker 1: they actually have to play their young players and we
Speaker 1: know that they hate to do that for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: and it's very very frustrating. Um. But yeah, I do
Speaker 1: think as long as Trevor stories out, Brendon Rogers probably
Speaker 1: gonna be the uh majority of the time starting at shortstop,
Speaker 1: and and Garret Hampson either maybe you know, they'll work
Speaker 1: him in there against lefty, they'll use him in the
Speaker 1: outfield or whatever it might be. But I'll throw a
Speaker 1: few other names out there. I like Chris Taylor. You know,
Speaker 1: I had Trevor Story in a in a twelve team
Speaker 1: league and I lost him. I picked up Chris Taylor.
Speaker 1: Dodgers played seven games this week with I believe either
Speaker 1: three or four those in corps fields. So I like
Speaker 1: Chris Taylor a lot. I do like Brendan Rodgers, just
Speaker 1: because again seven games this week, and then I'll just
Speaker 1: throw you know, Kevin Newman's name out there again. It
Speaker 1: just seems like he's not getting the proper respect. Greggy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the respect needs to be there. We'll see if he
Speaker 1: converts and earns about of respect. All right, Um, anybody
Speaker 1: else you want to mention Maddie before we get the
Speaker 1: two star pitchers for this week. I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody who's played really well over the last month, Uh,
Speaker 1: just give him some love is Todd Fraser. I've never
Speaker 1: really been a Todd Fraser fan, but he's done very
Speaker 1: well last month or so. So if you need a
Speaker 1: corner help in a deeper league, he's a guy that
Speaker 1: you know you should be looking at. Yah, throw a
Speaker 1: few lower end outfielders out there, if you know you're
Speaker 1: struggling in a five outfielder league. The Giants play seven
Speaker 1: games this week. Alex Stakerson is playing well for them,
Speaker 1: so is Mike Yastremski as well. And uh doesn't play
Speaker 1: for the Giants anymore, but Maddie mo our guy, Mac Williamson,
Speaker 1: he's playing every day again. Greggy out there in Seattle,
Speaker 1: Let's go fantastic. I've been burned that up man so
Speaker 1: many times. What's dead will never die for you? Be
Speaker 1: back well, segre All right, it's gonna do start pitchers
Speaker 1: for this week. I mentioned a Florio about it, so
Speaker 1: now I want to ask you about it, Matt as well.
Speaker 1: My favorite to start pitcher this week was Adam Pluco
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Indians. He's facing Kansas City and he's
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. When did you Pluco this week? Look, he's
Speaker 1: that straight out to walk great is pretty astonishing. He's
Speaker 1: really only had that one blow up start this year,
Speaker 1: and I know everybody's got him for the two start.
Speaker 1: I'm of the thinking that the Indians keep Biber on
Speaker 1: his normal rest, which would give Biber that second start.
Speaker 1: But let's say that Pluco gets to start. I still
Speaker 1: have some reservations here. Uh my choice and Frankie's pole
Speaker 1: was Bassett. I went with the hound, though I'm not
Speaker 1: very confident in that one neither, be honest with you.
Speaker 1: But look, Pluco has been a pleasant surprise all things
Speaker 1: considering from his past. Yeah, I put up the pole
Speaker 1: before the show. Greaty, And as of right now, the
Speaker 1: options were Adam Pluco, Brad Keller, Chris Bassett, and Aaron Sanchez.
Speaker 1: I mean these are really, you know, bottom of the
Speaker 1: barrel here, and that's why I included in the tweet.
Speaker 1: Death is not an option. But fifty of the vote
Speaker 1: is going to Adam Pluco right now, and I think
Speaker 1: it's just because a large majority of that is because
Speaker 1: of the matchups here versus the Kansas City Royals and
Speaker 1: at the Baltimore Orioles. So I think that makes a
Speaker 1: lot of sense. Look, Chris Bassett one start against the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: That could work out well because we know they've been
Speaker 1: struggling mightily in the month of June. But then at
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Angels, you know, a team that does
Speaker 1: not strike out at all, Shohyotani's coming around. Mike Trout
Speaker 1: is red hot as well. I don't really I don't
Speaker 1: really like starting hitter pitchers against the Los Angeles Angels
Speaker 1: right now, just because they don't strike out and their
Speaker 1: offenses is really hot. Greg, so um, I could see it,
Speaker 1: and maybe a deeper league for Chris Bassett. But you know,
Speaker 1: anything any shallower thin like a fifteen teamer probably out
Speaker 1: on all these guys. To be honest, they're probably there
Speaker 1: no like their fifteen team like two starters, but in
Speaker 1: twelve teamers, I think, you know, there might have been
Speaker 1: guys that were available that were better. I played in
Speaker 1: a twelve team league where Trevor Churs was a very
Speaker 1: available and I picked him up for his two star
Speaker 1: week this week. So that's disappointing to me. I like
Speaker 1: PLUCO even even in the twelve team leagues. Well, you
Speaker 1: know you've been, uh, you've been a little bit more
Speaker 1: currazeus with these two starters. I know, like two weeks
Speaker 1: ago you used Brett Anderson was last week and it
Speaker 1: worked out well for you. So it worked at the
Speaker 1: first start he bombed yesterday. Alright, I did, But because
Speaker 1: I'm in a Daily Transaction League. I mentioned him yesterday
Speaker 1: and it was and it was. What was even better
Speaker 1: was I took a risk because I was trying to
Speaker 1: play the match out and see what I wanted to do.
Speaker 1: Um Brett Anderson and I picked up Shawn Anderson because
Speaker 1: they both pitched at four o'clock yesterday, so I had
Speaker 1: them ready to go. I can make him maneuver during
Speaker 1: the day to see if I want to bench them
Speaker 1: or leave him in. And given our my situation, my
Speaker 1: matchut I started my first start at one o'clock and
Speaker 1: it was Marcus Stroman against the Red Sox. Well that
Speaker 1: worked out very well, incredibly well. Yes, six shot in
Speaker 1: things from Marcus Stroman. Let's go, should see him in
Speaker 1: pinch stripe soon future New York Yankee. Let's go, Maddie,
Speaker 1: I'll throw it. I'll throw four other names here at
Speaker 1: you that we have on the rundown. They're kind of
Speaker 1: fringe e ish, they haven't pitched well recently. Zach Davies
Speaker 1: versus Seattle versus the Pirates, Andrew Heaney versus the Reds
Speaker 1: versus Oakland, Stephen Matt's at Philly versus Atlanta, and Marco
Speaker 1: Gonzalez I mean, these matchups at Milwaukee and at Houston,
Speaker 1: any four of those guys pique your interest. Yeah, Marco
Speaker 1: Gonzalo's that ship has sailed like long ago. He's got
Speaker 1: a five over five b r A five x fit
Speaker 1: is walked per nine. He's like almost four or something,
Speaker 1: so he's definitely out of that one. Stephen Mats. Interestingly enough,
Speaker 1: as those crazy home road splits, he's got like a
Speaker 1: low to e r A at home, a six r
Speaker 1: A on the road. He's giving up eighteen runs in
Speaker 1: thirteen first innings this season with eight homers. So you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know about Max Neither. He needs the guy
Speaker 1: for me. Uh, he's home for both starts. He gets
Speaker 1: the reds uh swinging miss availability there. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: and they got some platoon players and that's a nice
Speaker 1: split for him. And then he's home versus Oakland. He
Speaker 1: needs the guy, Zack Davies. You know, if you want
Speaker 1: to press your luck, I get it. But Andrew Hiney
Speaker 1: for me, it's just not really a great crop of
Speaker 1: two star pitchers this week. Greg. It rarely is no.
Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes we find some guys that were yeah
Speaker 1: that we feel right that that's that's the guy. I
Speaker 1: could be your guy. That's the guy. The matchups makes sense.
Speaker 1: And you know what, Matt, I was looking at Brad
Speaker 1: Keller and I know he's been really in consistent. It
Speaker 1: seemed like he was starting to write the ship. I believe,
Speaker 1: like three of his last four starts like he was
Speaker 1: actually pitching well. But he's always like, do for like
Speaker 1: one of those blow up starts. So you know, the
Speaker 1: matchups on paper against the Indians and the Blue Days
Speaker 1: don't seem so bad. But Brad Keller is just one
Speaker 1: of these guys where I mean he could just completely
Speaker 1: crush your your E r A and your whip if
Speaker 1: he if he gets blown up, and he has shown
Speaker 1: a propensity to do that. Yeah, it's just fift team
Speaker 1: team only option in in uh my consideration, it's the
Speaker 1: matchups that make him a person of interest. I know
Speaker 1: how Monkey wrote a piece on his his air density piece,
Speaker 1: which is you know, pretty much above my pay grade
Speaker 1: figuring out stuff out and seeing all that. But you
Speaker 1: have some interesting nuggets that. But for me Keller is
Speaker 1: it's an option based choice. In a deeper league. You know,
Speaker 1: you can either win or you can get blown up
Speaker 1: with that we're gonna say about a Maddie Moe for
Speaker 1: this week. Matt It's been a pleasure and we cannot
Speaker 1: wait to do it again next week. You guys, you
Speaker 1: guys rock Thos, love doing it. See you next week,
Speaker 1: by the way, next Monday, probably the last baseball when
Speaker 1: we do with Maddie mon digital football. After that, there
Speaker 1: you go. July coming soon, Yeah, July eighth, ma'am. I'm
Speaker 1: preparing you right now, two weeks from today, returning our
Speaker 1: attention to football. I gotta get ready. I don't know
Speaker 1: who Maddie Moeguys are beside Sammy Watkins. Obviously, what is
Speaker 1: old may never die. You go that Moodie can follow
Speaker 1: him at CCM baseball and of course read everything he
Speaker 1: has and listen everything he has over at the Athletic.
Speaker 1: With that, Frankie, say goodbye to YouTube for today. Sean
Speaker 1: Washtamakia and at the window come your way next making
Speaker 1: sure you listen to Sean each and every day, especially
Speaker 1: today here on at the window. Frank it's now time
Speaker 1: for our best bets forever. It's a brand new week.
Speaker 1: Things to go well. I give two picks out on
Speaker 1: Twitter to somebody that you requested I lost both of
Speaker 1: them the weekends, and I lost on Friday. On the weekday,
Speaker 1: I lost with Florio on Friday to barely. I got
Speaker 1: screwed on Friday, so hopefully I don't get screwed again. Frank,
Speaker 1: I feel like we're gonna go. I have to go
Speaker 1: back to the tape. I don't remember. I remember liking
Speaker 1: the Marlins on Thursday for Zach Gallant's debut, and the
Speaker 1: Marlins won that game nice, So I won one of those.
Speaker 1: I think I gave out two picks. Though it's a
Speaker 1: new week, nobody cares, but last week anymore, I want
Speaker 1: to know you want to hold myself account. I was
Speaker 1: talking to Sean earlier this morning. There's one pick that
Speaker 1: stands out extremely to me, and that's Lucas Giolito plus
Speaker 1: one if the six in Boston that you know what.
Speaker 1: I tried that last week, Greg, and he made me
Speaker 1: look like a fool. So you won't be fooled again.
Speaker 1: I will Gelto's numbers only so high this week because
Speaker 1: he got they lost in Chicago on the on the
Speaker 1: other side of the home runs were flying out of Wrigley.
Speaker 1: They won't be flying out of Boston tonight and what
Speaker 1: Aiguez donna let up some runs? He will tonight give
Speaker 1: me gelto plus one fifty six and the White Sox
Speaker 1: against Boston. Alright, so I know that I if I
Speaker 1: include the Marlins pick, I went one for three, one
Speaker 1: in three last week, and you said you got something
Speaker 1: wrong on Friday, Greg, Yeah, I would say you had
Speaker 1: three and two. That's good. Still making money there, take one.
Speaker 1: I know I took one extra pick, so I was
Speaker 1: four and two alright, So yeah, yeah, you get rich
Speaker 1: doing that. Um, I like I was looking at this earlier,
Speaker 1: the Rockies and Giants tonight, John Grey against Drew palmerans
Speaker 1: and ugly going over. Yes, yes, I know I'm not
Speaker 1: a John Grey guy. I understand this game is in
Speaker 1: Oracle Park, it's in San Francisco, which is a bigger ballpark.
Speaker 1: But I just don't trust either one of these starting pitchers.
Speaker 1: And you know, if the Giants are actually playing better,
Speaker 1: you know they're playing better as of late with MIKEA.
Speaker 1: Schremsky and Alex Dickerson spoke about them a little bit earlier. Greg,
Speaker 1: totally in this one's only seven and a half. I
Speaker 1: think we could get over this. That seems you'd be
Speaker 1: way over that number for John Gray versus Drew Palmer
Speaker 1: Rance two pitchers over getting bombed. Obviously, Frankie mentioned it.
Speaker 1: It's in San Francisco, is a big pitchers park. Their
Speaker 1: ear as combined are over eleven. The terrible John Grade
Speaker 1: four point one eight, Drew Palm ran seven point zero nine,
Speaker 1: seven and a half. Right if John gre If Drew
Speaker 1: Balmer ranchers, as we always does, the average average a
Speaker 1: good This is to be a four or three game
Speaker 1: probably something, all right, So jeeldo, we're riding them again,
Speaker 1: and we're going over the Giants and the Rockies. Greig, Yeah,
Speaker 1: fair enough, Okay, so they have it. Uh, those are
Speaker 1: the best bets forever for today. About a minute left
Speaker 1: here in the program. Uh, Yankees' finally lost the game yesterday,
Speaker 1: frank Yeah. Look, they're not gonna win any every game.
Speaker 1: And you know, if they you know, if they would
Speaker 1: ended up sweeping the Astros in four games, I mean
Speaker 1: that would have been miraculous. So I think they were
Speaker 1: due for one of those clunkers, and of course they
Speaker 1: were because Jay Happen was on the man. Greg, what
Speaker 1: do we have only you know, two more years of
Speaker 1: this after the season about. So yes, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. I think they do. What do
Speaker 1: you think the Yankees do? What is your prediction Stroman?
Speaker 1: Are they gonna trade for Stroman or do you think
Speaker 1: it's someone else? And Clint Fraser is gonna kill us
Speaker 1: for the next decade or so. I don't think they
Speaker 1: trade Fraser for Stroman because they're saying they won't trade
Speaker 1: Fraser for a rental, but Stroman's not a rental. So
Speaker 1: I saw under control from next year as well. Tomorrow
Speaker 1: on the show, what were doing? Yeah, baseball? I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: you want to talk football? You want me to know
Speaker 1: next week we're coming all right for Frank's naval. I'm
Speaker 1: Greg Suman at the window, coming up next to Seanstamki.
Speaker 1: I want to thank Nat Moodia for joining us freak
Speaker 1: and I will be back tomorrow. We hope, y
