Speaker 1: out there because Donny Burns is gonna help me break
Speaker 1: it down. As the Fantasy Freestyle NBA Playoffs correspondent. Wasn't
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Clippers Listen if they lose to a
Speaker 1: Jazz team without Rudy Gobert, I think it could be
Speaker 1: time to break up the Clippers myself, and then some
Speaker 1: teams out east. Listen. I'm a little bit worried maybe
Speaker 1: about this three seed Toronto Raptors. Could the Greek freak
Speaker 1: do it on them? What about the Celtics that one seed?
Speaker 1: Obviously we'll get into Isaiah Thomas and what happened this
Speaker 1: weekend with him a little bit later on as well,
Speaker 1: and uh, let me tell you something. Lebron James and
Speaker 1: the Calves things that they could just flip the switch
Speaker 1: Paul George, whether he gets the last shot or not,
Speaker 1: we will find out, but they might be in some trouble.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that as well with my boy Donnie Burns.
Speaker 1: And you know, I wanted to say one thing Donnie
Speaker 1: before we go to break. I gave you the Boston
Speaker 1: Marathon happened today because it was Patriots Today. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk when we come back also about why it was
Speaker 1: a historic and momentous anniversary for the Boston Marathon. Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna come back and talk about that. We're gonna
Speaker 1: put the fun in Functional sports radio. Big shout out though.
Speaker 1: Like I said at the top of the read, Jeffrey
Speaker 1: Carew and Edna Kip a lot both from Kenya. Within
Speaker 1: the Men's and women's Boston Marathon. We're gonna come back
Speaker 1: do the site for the starting lineup. Have a little
Speaker 1: bit of fun here. It's Monday, Dave Martinez, Donnie Burns
Speaker 1: holding you down. Fantasy Freestyle in the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: You know what it is, Exploit a Martinez a K
Speaker 1: eight it spitting statistician. You're listening to the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: live on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I gave a
Speaker 1: shout out to the sports Byline affiliates, and you know
Speaker 1: it is the Boston marathon today, So a special shout
Speaker 1: out to anybody listening on w w z N fifteen
Speaker 1: ten am out there in Boston in Massachusetts. Were also
Speaker 1: in Newton, Massachusetts on eleven twenty am. And don't forget
Speaker 1: fourteen seventy am and Framingham out there in Massachusetts. Happy
Speaker 1: at Patriots Day to everybody. It's about the only time
Speaker 1: a year though you're gonna hear me saying happy and
Speaker 1: Patriots in the same sentence. You know, Speeds has spitting
Speaker 1: statistician reps his j E T s Jets, Jets Jets begrudgingly. So, um,
Speaker 1: Donnie Burns is in the building with me on the
Speaker 1: ones and two, so I want to see what he
Speaker 1: thinks about this because I know, um, you know, he's
Speaker 1: he's with the kids his a AU team. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit later on, but you know,
Speaker 1: this was a historic marathon, Donnie, and I think, uh,
Speaker 1: you might want to take this nugget back to your
Speaker 1: kids on the AU team. I think the line ends
Speaker 1: they'd be reporting about to go to the National AU
Speaker 1: Championships in a little bit later. They're gonna get that
Speaker 1: flight out there. I'm really excited about that. Check this out.
Speaker 1: Do you know, though, don Today was the fiftieth anniversary
Speaker 1: of the first time a woman ran in the Boston
Speaker 1: Marathon actually did Okay, So Catherine Switzer is her name.
Speaker 1: She was the first woman. She was actually like they
Speaker 1: tried to kick her off the course in nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 1: She entered as just like k Switzer when uh, and
Speaker 1: she literally said back then, she thought the marathon was
Speaker 1: a man's race. In those days, they considered women too
Speaker 1: fragile to run in the marathon. Fifty years later, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously we think very differently, and uh, you know when
Speaker 1: we have these conversations about rights in our country and all.
Speaker 1: But um, what I thought was kind of interesting. Check
Speaker 1: this out. She ran it again today. She ran it
Speaker 1: again today. This woman, Kathryn Switzer in um in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty seven, she ran it in four hours and twenty men.
Speaker 1: It's fifty years later, she ran it in four hours
Speaker 1: and forty four minutes. I think that's pretty impressive. Don
Speaker 1: you think, uh, fifty years later you could, uh, you
Speaker 1: could run a marathon and only twenty minutes longer than
Speaker 1: you did. Just don't even think I could do that
Speaker 1: right now? That's what I'm saying, it's such a great
Speaker 1: story because the Boston Marathon was in a bad spot first.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, after the bombing a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: I'm very happy to see it's back on his feet.
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely And this woman, you know again, big shout out,
Speaker 1: tip of the cap here fantasy freestyle with Katherine Switzer.
Speaker 1: You know she um she's won thirty plus marathon. She
Speaker 1: won the New York City Marathon in nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 1: And just in case you were wondering, women were officially
Speaker 1: allowed to enter marathon starting in nineteen seventy two. So
Speaker 1: I did want to make that point there as we
Speaker 1: celebrate our country today and you know, the right for
Speaker 1: everybody to run in marathons. And I know all my
Speaker 1: listeners on the American Forces Radio Network, you know feel
Speaker 1: what I'm saying here. That is what they're out there
Speaker 1: protecting and serving every day out there around the world,
Speaker 1: and we do appreciate it. Let's keep it moving though,
Speaker 1: get it too speeds to start in line up here.
Speaker 1: Things you need to know about Major League Baseball after
Speaker 1: the weekend. We have some injury notes after the weekend.
Speaker 1: I think it's important for you guys to know. J
Speaker 1: Happ is having an m r I on his elbow.
Speaker 1: He left the start last night after payin in that elbow.
Speaker 1: Keep an eye there. He has had injury issues in
Speaker 1: the past. Rich Hill left his start. Listen rich Hill.
Speaker 1: They moved him to the d L because of a blister.
Speaker 1: He finally comes back, he leaves his start early because
Speaker 1: of the blister. Again. I'm starting to worry about this
Speaker 1: is a longer term issue. Miguel Cabrera left Sunday's game,
Speaker 1: yesterday's game with a back injury. Okay, Miguel Cabrera, despite
Speaker 1: what people think, he's gonna fall off the face of
Speaker 1: the earth, kind of like Albert Poolhols they thought would listen,
Speaker 1: Miguel Cabrera is still a beast. He went he had
Speaker 1: like three fifteen last year. He had like thirty eight
Speaker 1: home runs last year. So him missing any time would
Speaker 1: be problems for the Detroit Tigers and for fantasy owners. Recently,
Speaker 1: just today, just this afternoon, the Oakland A's announced that
Speaker 1: Kendall Graveman is going to the ten day DL with
Speaker 1: the shoulders train. Graveman was off to a pretty nice
Speaker 1: little start um and his first three starts he was
Speaker 1: among the most added pictures. Early on in the first
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, sat to hear that he is going
Speaker 1: to the ten day d L for Oakland. Matt Kemp
Speaker 1: likely returning from the d L this week on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: He's coming back from a hamstring injury. Remember I've been
Speaker 1: talking a little bit about the string of hamstring injuries
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, and I'm excited to
Speaker 1: share that we will have licensed certified athletic trainer Thomas
Speaker 1: Lowe on the show. A little bit later on, we
Speaker 1: interviewed him, you know, asking about a lot of the
Speaker 1: injuries that happened, and we did touch on this hamstring
Speaker 1: issue along with a lot of other stuff we're gonna
Speaker 1: play over the next couple of shows here this week.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited and thanks again to Thomas slow for
Speaker 1: joining the show. Also, I've been telling you this for
Speaker 1: about a week now. Rangers manister Jeff Banister is saying
Speaker 1: that he will meet with coaches today to discuss that
Speaker 1: closer situation. Okay, Remember I told you Sam Dyson was
Speaker 1: not the man for it. I told you it was
Speaker 1: gonna be Matt Bush. Hopefully you picked him up last
Speaker 1: week and are not late to the train. Let's keep
Speaker 1: it moving though here. We had the whole weekend. Remember
Speaker 1: I gave you pictures. I gave you pictures all weekend.
Speaker 1: Let's hold speeds accountable, yo. I told you on Friday
Speaker 1: that I like Danny Duffy because he was pitching against
Speaker 1: the Angels and on Ace day the Angels were not
Speaker 1: throwing out an ace. Yeah, Duffy got the win for you,
Speaker 1: seven innings, pitch warner and run, six strikeouts. I also
Speaker 1: told you that I liked that ten o'clock matchup, that
Speaker 1: late matchup that was Astro's A's. I like Dallas Kaikel.
Speaker 1: He got the win, seven innings, only one run, seven strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Liked him. Graveman pitched well in that game also, But
Speaker 1: obviously there was a little bit of an injury there
Speaker 1: because you did go to the d L just today
Speaker 1: on Saturday. There were a couple of pictures I told
Speaker 1: you that I was high on that you can trust,
Speaker 1: and boy did they come through for you. And now
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, guys, look at these guys. If somehow
Speaker 1: these guys are not owned in your league, you need
Speaker 1: to go and get them right now, right now, My boy,
Speaker 1: Mike Florio is on this guy. I've been on this
Speaker 1: guy for a while talking about James Paxton. He had
Speaker 1: another incredible outing against the Rangers on Saturday, when eight
Speaker 1: innings scoreless, struck out nine. I think this is the
Speaker 1: year this guy has been a hyped fantasy darling. I've
Speaker 1: been saying it year after year. This is the year
Speaker 1: he puts it all together. Watch out for big things
Speaker 1: out of Paxton. And don't look now, but Irwin Santana
Speaker 1: is three and oh what is zero point for one
Speaker 1: e r A. He had a complete game shutout on
Speaker 1: Saturday against the Chide Socks. He struck out eight in
Speaker 1: that effort as well. Obviously, Chris Sale went on Saturday
Speaker 1: striking out twelve. So if you like that k upside,
Speaker 1: there's a guy to go. Then yesterday, you know, it
Speaker 1: was a holiday for many people. There weren't that many
Speaker 1: starters that I wanted to talk about. One of the
Speaker 1: guys that I did like was Charlie Morton. He got
Speaker 1: his start pushed back to today tonight because of a
Speaker 1: rain out for the Astros. And then also I told
Speaker 1: you about Michael Pineda and that Sunday night game against
Speaker 1: the Cards. He looked good through seven innings, got the wind,
Speaker 1: struck out six tour and runs he only gave up
Speaker 1: I was telling you in what really I thought was
Speaker 1: the big part about that though, was that he was
Speaker 1: going against Adam Waynewright, and I said that Adam Waynewright
Speaker 1: looked done. Waynewright gave up ten hits and only five
Speaker 1: innings in uh that matchup on Sunday. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: Waynewright does not look like he used to. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you about two guys that I think you can
Speaker 1: go with tonight on Monday Slate. The first one, I
Speaker 1: like this guy. I've been talking about this guy. I
Speaker 1: liked him last start, and he had a nice start
Speaker 1: last time out. I am always on this guy, and
Speaker 1: it's Robbie Ray. I'm on Robbie Ray tonight at eight
Speaker 1: thousand on FanDuel. I am a believer of Robbie Ray,
Speaker 1: especially when he is not pitching in that hitter's ballpark
Speaker 1: that he has his home now in Arizona. When he's
Speaker 1: not in Arizona and by association, in that division, when
Speaker 1: he's not pitching against Colorado or in Corps, I think
Speaker 1: you've gotta look at his starts that are not in
Speaker 1: Colorado or Arizona. When you can get a chance of
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray that upside in strikeouts. He's got fourteen strikeouts
Speaker 1: in twelve innings pitched so far. That paces to another
Speaker 1: two hundred strikeouts season for Robbie Ray. I like him
Speaker 1: at eight thousand tonight. The other I like Listen. I've
Speaker 1: been big on Charlie Morton all year. Also, Okay, he's
Speaker 1: going up against the Angels tonight at only if you
Speaker 1: want to spend down. He's rested obviously, had that extra
Speaker 1: night rest because of the rain out yesterday. And he's
Speaker 1: one of these guys that have seen an uptick in
Speaker 1: velocity in his first few starts, and his first few
Speaker 1: starts were against the Seattle Manerness. He's now going to
Speaker 1: what I think is a much easier lineup. Uh, So
Speaker 1: you might get more K potential leaving from a guy
Speaker 1: like Charlie Morton. Then you might think he's been striking
Speaker 1: out more people. That radar gun has been an up again.
Speaker 1: Remember remember also we've been talking about it on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle that a lot of people are gonna be
Speaker 1: up because they are measuring miles per hour differently this year.
Speaker 1: They've moved to the stat cast, which is different than
Speaker 1: how they were measuring over the last couple of years. Okay,
Speaker 1: So instead of measuring the ball when it crosses the plate,
Speaker 1: they're measuring it at its fastest point, which is when
Speaker 1: it comes straight out of the picture's hand. Okay. So
Speaker 1: that means that you know, you're gonna see an uptick
Speaker 1: in velocity and a lot of people. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you the other thing. What it really means is
Speaker 1: if you see people that have a little bit of
Speaker 1: a downtick this season, that should concern you even more,
Speaker 1: like my man Sam Dyson, who has gone down from
Speaker 1: an average fastball oft two down to point nine. And
Speaker 1: that's even with this compensation of the new gun. So
Speaker 1: I think they're about to make that move in Texas
Speaker 1: pretty soon when we come back. I'm gonna bring my
Speaker 1: boy Donnie Burns. We're gonna go into speed Cipher, we're
Speaker 1: gonna talk NBA playoffs, and then we're gonna have that
Speaker 1: interview with Thomas Lowe as well. A lot of good
Speaker 1: things stick around Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: I'll be here a whole hour hollow at your boy,
Speaker 1: you know, Dane Martinez, were right here, come back. You
Speaker 1: know what it is is boy Dame Martinez, and you're
Speaker 1: listening to the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio
Speaker 1: Network of course, on all our Sports Byline affiliates and
Speaker 1: our American Forces Radio network as well, making this a
Speaker 1: global show with my boy Donnie Burns keeping it hot,
Speaker 1: making us blow up like a Samsung seven. Let's get
Speaker 1: into the site for now. I want to give you
Speaker 1: some news and notes real quick. Here in the NFL,
Speaker 1: with the draft approaching, Bill O'Brien, coach of the Houston Texans,
Speaker 1: they are saying that they quote unquote love Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: This is the kid out of Texas Tech. He is
Speaker 1: rising up a lot of draft boards. They say his
Speaker 1: armed talent is to die for. Here's the thing, though,
Speaker 1: he's another one of those quarterbacks that come out of
Speaker 1: the spread offense. He's gonna have to move from Texas
Speaker 1: Tech where And they're the way they call signals all
Speaker 1: the way to you know, like I mentioned before, commanding
Speaker 1: men in a huddle and the verbiage, the language and
Speaker 1: not and the footwork coming behind center. Well, so we
Speaker 1: will see some people are thinking that the Texans may
Speaker 1: try to get into the back end of the first
Speaker 1: half to try to get Patrick Mahomes quarterback out of
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. On the flip side, the Broncos worried about
Speaker 1: last year's first round draft pick back then Lynch's workout habits.
Speaker 1: They're saying that, uh, you know, they're trying to teach
Speaker 1: him this idea of like, you know, being first first
Speaker 1: man into the gym, last man out head in the books,
Speaker 1: and that it's not going as well. This is something
Speaker 1: you hear a lot of this smoking fire around the draft,
Speaker 1: a lot of misinformation on a a lot of fake news.
Speaker 1: But I will say this, Packton Lynch one way or
Speaker 1: the other. You gotta chance. You got a chance, kid,
Speaker 1: You got a chance to be the starting quarterback for
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos. You better have your head into books
Speaker 1: as much as you possibly can. Of course, Trevor Simeon
Speaker 1: the other option out there in Denver. Uh. Lagarrett Blunt
Speaker 1: still has a deal on the table with the New
Speaker 1: England Patriots, but it has not been signed yet. Makes
Speaker 1: me wonder what is that offer for they low balling
Speaker 1: Lagarrett Blunt. And here's the other thing I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you Lagarret Blunt, sign that deal right now. Sign it now,
Speaker 1: because you don't know what's gonna happen where these dominoes,
Speaker 1: where the other shoe is going to drop. They signed
Speaker 1: Rex Burkehead for over three million a year. They clearly
Speaker 1: have plans for him. We heard last week that Marshawn
Speaker 1: Lynch was talking about, Oh, if I come out of
Speaker 1: retirement and I can't go to Oakland, I'd be down
Speaker 1: to go to New England. Of course you'd be down
Speaker 1: to go to New England. Who's not down to go
Speaker 1: to New England? Right? So what does that mean? Maybe,
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, you know you got. If you're Lagarrett Blunt,
Speaker 1: you need to sign that deal before you're left without
Speaker 1: a chair when the music stops. Also, a couple of
Speaker 1: retirements I want to let everybody know about here, Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle and your boys speeds and spitting statistician tip our
Speaker 1: cap to two wide receivers that helped me win my
Speaker 1: leagues and win that cash in the past. The first
Speaker 1: is Roddy White. Roddie White officially retires from the Atlanta
Speaker 1: Falcons all time Falcons leader and receptions with eight oh
Speaker 1: eight in yards with over ten thousand, ten thousand, eight
Speaker 1: hundred sixty three and six three touchdowns. The four time
Speaker 1: Pro bowler calls it quits this offseason. Also, Andre Johnson,
Speaker 1: he signed the one day contract to retire as a
Speaker 1: Houston Texan. UM. This guy was a beast east and
Speaker 1: then really was one of the first people who introduced
Speaker 1: that true like big receiver that you know, six three
Speaker 1: six four, big guy on the outside that we now
Speaker 1: see so often. Uh. Andre Johnson was really one of
Speaker 1: the first guys to do that. It was a beast
Speaker 1: in the mid two thousand's also important to note six
Speaker 1: at least six Patriots are saying that they will skip
Speaker 1: the White House visit this week when the world champion
Speaker 1: Patriots go to visit the White House and the President
Speaker 1: among them to High Tower and of course the Black Unicorn,
Speaker 1: Martellis Bennett, he's always outspoken. UM, keep it a moving
Speaker 1: now though here in the site, and we talked to
Speaker 1: a little football. I want to go to basketball because
Speaker 1: we had the first weekend of the NBA playoffs, So
Speaker 1: we had four games yesterday for uh, four games on Saturday,
Speaker 1: like I mentioned to you, two games going on tonight. UM,
Speaker 1: I'm bringing in Donnie Burns because he's my he's my
Speaker 1: correspondent here on the Fantasy Freestyle. The poll question was
Speaker 1: who is who are you most concerned about? Right, the Rafters,
Speaker 1: the Clippers, the Calves or the Celtics. I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you the truth, don My answer to my own poll
Speaker 1: question is the Cleveland Cavaliers. And here's why the answer
Speaker 1: should correct states relative to their expectations. Right. So, the Clippers,
Speaker 1: I'm real worried about them potentially losing to a Utah
Speaker 1: Jazz team without Rudy Gobert. I think they might be
Speaker 1: breaking up CP three and Griffin and DeAndre Jordan's rivers
Speaker 1: and may that that ship may have run its course
Speaker 1: if they cannot beat the Utah Jazz without Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 1: So I'd be a little bit concerned by them. But
Speaker 1: relative to their expectations, they were only gonna win this
Speaker 1: one series anyway, in my opinion, So that's why I
Speaker 1: discount the Clippers in this question. Okay, the Raptors and
Speaker 1: the Celtics. I think that's interesting and both remember the
Speaker 1: Raptors got whacked by the Greek freak Giannikopo on Saturday. Uh,
Speaker 1: looking like even though Kyle Lowry is back looking like
Speaker 1: they may struggle in that six three matchup to get
Speaker 1: out of the first round. And then Boston. Listen, I
Speaker 1: like this Boston team. I I am a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried though, that they don't have
Speaker 1: the experience in the playoffs that they might need. And listen,
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas, when he went through this weekend with his
Speaker 1: little sister passing away in the car accident, you saw
Speaker 1: probably clips of him being emotional before the game. Um
Speaker 1: So I'm not putting any blame on Isaiah Thomas or
Speaker 1: the Celtics, but it did show that maybe they didn't
Speaker 1: have that killer, that experience, that veteran presence, and against
Speaker 1: the team like the Bulls, who were Dwyane Wade by
Speaker 1: himself has more playoff experience than the entire Celtics lineup.
Speaker 1: That gave me a little bit cause for pause. But
Speaker 1: again relative to their expectations. These Cleveland Cavaliers, though, they
Speaker 1: think they could just flip the switch, and I don't
Speaker 1: think that happened against the Pacers. Uh on Sunday, they
Speaker 1: tried like they might, but Paul George had a shot.
Speaker 1: He just hit a ridiculous three to get it close.
Speaker 1: And uh I don't think the Calves are really flipping
Speaker 1: the switch as maybe they think they can. Hey, Donnie burn,
Speaker 1: So I'm going with the Cleveland Cavaliers here. However, on
Speaker 1: the pole that is the lowest choice. It's only six
Speaker 1: of the people out there agree with speeds and spitting statistician,
Speaker 1: what do you think about this time? So if we're
Speaker 1: talking relative to what people thought was gonna happen, I'm
Speaker 1: agreeing with you. I'm gonna go with the Calves. And
Speaker 1: there's two teams I really want to talk about in
Speaker 1: this poll, first being the Calves. They played relatively zero
Speaker 1: defense like the Pacers. And here's the thing. The Pacers
Speaker 1: were twenty nine and twelve at home, right, so the
Speaker 1: Pacers played at Cleveland. The Pacers were one Paul George
Speaker 1: fade away away from taking a game at Cleveland. Right.
Speaker 1: If you they always say starry series don't start until
Speaker 1: the road team wins a game, right that they almost
Speaker 1: did that in game one. I'm really that's exactly the thing.
Speaker 1: Right if if Cleveland thinks that they could all just
Speaker 1: turn to switch on and twelve at home for the
Speaker 1: Pacers with the Lance Stevenson that looks like a rejuvenate
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, He's gonna be blowing in ears.
Speaker 1: You know. There's my thing on that and the other one.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Clippers, and I completely
Speaker 1: agree with you if they can't you know, get out
Speaker 1: of this for round, which they tend to be able
Speaker 1: to get out of the first round, but they never
Speaker 1: get past the second round. Um. The thing that the
Speaker 1: Clippers here is if you watch the end of that game,
Speaker 1: they had Jamal Crawford on Joe Johnson. Now, if I'm
Speaker 1: a coach, I don't want my you know, eighty pounds
Speaker 1: shooting going because you know, Joe Johnson's taken the last
Speaker 1: That's what Joe Johnson has been doing for literally over
Speaker 1: a decade. That was his That's that's why teams signed
Speaker 1: him for that exact reason. It's like Joe Johnson and
Speaker 1: Paul Pierce, That's why you signed these dudes for this
Speaker 1: seven years. He's a six ft eight two, forty eight
Speaker 1: pound guard. There's no way Jamal Crawford is gonna be
Speaker 1: able that. Like I said, that's his eighth game winning
Speaker 1: shot in his career, which I think is the most
Speaker 1: by anyone right now. So you have Jamal Crawford, one
Speaker 1: of the worst defenders on your team, on one of
Speaker 1: the best clutch players on the other team. I don't
Speaker 1: like your play calling. You had time to switch, You
Speaker 1: had time to switch. I don't like the play calling.
Speaker 1: I don't like where the Clippers are going. I don't
Speaker 1: like where they're at. I think they need to be
Speaker 1: broken up. So so I agree with you, and I
Speaker 1: think ultimately that will be the case when they if
Speaker 1: they even if they do get past Utah, they will
Speaker 1: not get past Golden State in the next round. This
Speaker 1: is speeds and spitting statistician calling his shot right there,
Speaker 1: and so I think that will be broken up. And
Speaker 1: then you gotta look at the east Man. You know,
Speaker 1: for months everybody thought it was a fatal compleat that
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Lebraun, we're gonna get out of there. But
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I think I think the Calves
Speaker 1: are more fatally damaged. You're a team that I think
Speaker 1: will beat them. Listen, I'm gonna tell you something. They're
Speaker 1: they're now the two seed, right, They're the two seed now,
Speaker 1: so they would have to face Toronto in the next round.
Speaker 1: If Toronto or gets there, but what if Milwaukee and
Speaker 1: the Greek freak get there? Uh see, Honestly, I'm not
Speaker 1: worried about either those teams. You give me a John
Speaker 1: Wall Well, but that's the thing, that's the thing. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say Washington, but that's not The Brackets don't
Speaker 1: find that way. They would have to wash Washington to
Speaker 1: get past you know, Atlanta right right now, and then
Speaker 1: they would happen, and then they would have to get
Speaker 1: past Boston to even see Lebron in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Speaker 1: I love I love I love me some wall Wall
Speaker 1: is like rejuvenated role as, like matured, I like Gore
Speaker 1: tot in the middle. Listen, I'm with you, but I
Speaker 1: just don't think you'll they'll get that far. You don't
Speaker 1: think they could beat the Celtics and or the Hawks.
Speaker 1: I mean, they can, but ultimately, I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: the truth. Ultimately, I'm a little bit worried about Cleveland
Speaker 1: in that next series. The Celtics don't seem sustainable. All
Speaker 1: you gotta do is double Isaiah Thomas. Yeah, I guess so,
Speaker 1: I guess so. We will see. We'll see how Isaiah
Speaker 1: Thomas and the Celtics are doing. Emotionally in this series,
Speaker 1: we'll see if they could uh come on back and
Speaker 1: get that one against the Chicago Bulls. Thanks, let's keep
Speaker 1: it moving though here in the site. For one other
Speaker 1: thing I want to get to, uh, Donnie, and I
Speaker 1: want to get your thought on this. There was spring
Speaker 1: football games in college football this weekend. Okay, spring football
Speaker 1: getting started. And there were two things that were done
Speaker 1: in these spring football games. And I've seen them before
Speaker 1: and when I see them, I kind of think they're cute.
Speaker 1: But I want to get your thought on what you
Speaker 1: think is better. Okay, don Right before we go to break,
Speaker 1: And remember, when we come out of break, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be talking a license certified athletic trainer, Thomas Low. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about these hamstring injuries, the blood spinning,
Speaker 1: all sorts of information. Good friend of the show, talking
Speaker 1: about us for all our medical needs. But um, in
Speaker 1: the Ohio State spring game, Donny, there was a kid,
Speaker 1: Jacob Jarvis. He has muscle logistrophe. He was in a
Speaker 1: wheelchair and they led him on the field and they
Speaker 1: handled him the ball at the end of the time,
Speaker 1: you know, and in his wheelchair, he negotiated the tacklers
Speaker 1: and got all the way to the end zone. You know,
Speaker 1: some of the guys and defense were like, you know,
Speaker 1: fake diving at him, pretending to tackle him, and you know,
Speaker 1: he scored, and I, you know, I think it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful thing. It's a beautiful scene. Also in UH in
Speaker 1: the Nebraska Spring game, we had staff Sergeant Matthew Hawk
Speaker 1: coming back from Afghanistan. His family didn't know, right, he
Speaker 1: dressed up as a player. They had like a ceremonial
Speaker 1: coin flip at midfield at the beginning of the game,
Speaker 1: and then he like took his you know, helmet and
Speaker 1: uh pads off and it was revealed to be, you know,
Speaker 1: the father coming back from war. So I wanted what
Speaker 1: I want to do is when we come back from
Speaker 1: after the interview, I wanted to get you some time
Speaker 1: to think about it. Don, which of these touching moments
Speaker 1: that happened that spring games, you know, warms your heart
Speaker 1: just a little bit more because I know, don, I know,
Speaker 1: you're all about the kids. Okay, So when we come
Speaker 1: back here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we're gonna play that
Speaker 1: part one of my interview with license certified trainer Thomas Lowe.
Speaker 1: We get into some injuries at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: baseball season, and then we're gonna feel which spring game
Speaker 1: moment does don like better. I'm mean, boy, Dame Martinez
Speaker 1: a k a. To spitting statistician, you're listening to the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network and of
Speaker 1: course Spots Byline affiliates American Forces Radio Network. You know
Speaker 1: what it is is your boyd Dame Martinez, You're listening
Speaker 1: live to the Fantasy Freestyle, even a fantasy sports radio network.
Speaker 1: I got my boy Donnie Burns with me on the
Speaker 1: ones in two so hot At, we Sweat Steam, and
Speaker 1: I'm really excited right now to go back to Thomas Lowe,
Speaker 1: the license Certified board uh, the athletic trainer. We had
Speaker 1: him in on football season talking about the concussion protocol,
Speaker 1: so I'm talking about some of the pain management medication
Speaker 1: and it was really insightful. So now what we do
Speaker 1: is we welcome him back to the show. We get
Speaker 1: into some things that have been coming up on Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: Um here at the beginning of baseball season. So Donnie Burns,
Speaker 1: let's kick it off. This is part one of my
Speaker 1: interview with Certified athletic trainer Thomas low Now we welcome
Speaker 1: back to the show Fantasy Freestyle here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network athletic trainer Thomas Lowe. Remember he came
Speaker 1: on this show before in the football season giving us
Speaker 1: insight into the concussion protocol and also some of the
Speaker 1: dangers around the pain medications that we were seeing in
Speaker 1: the NFL. UM Welcome back to the show, Thomas. How
Speaker 1: are you doing, I'm doing, Thank you, Good to hear
Speaker 1: you again. Alright, alright, so listen, as we shift to baseball,
Speaker 1: there has been a couple of things that we've been
Speaker 1: talking about here in the Fantasy Free style, and I thought,
Speaker 1: what better way than to get a real explanation when
Speaker 1: we really enjoyed the way you kind of broke down
Speaker 1: things like the concussion protocol and why the need for
Speaker 1: sometimes the uh the cold, dark quiet room to do
Speaker 1: evaluations and things like that last time. So one thing
Speaker 1: I wanted, one thing I want to ask you about.
Speaker 1: We have seen in the start of the baseball season.
Speaker 1: We have seen a rash of hamstring injuries and I'm
Speaker 1: wondering is this natural at the start of a season?
Speaker 1: And you know, my natural reaction is to think like, oh,
Speaker 1: the weather is still cold, they're not you know, completely
Speaker 1: stretched out or warmed up yet as they would be
Speaker 1: mid season. Does that kind of argument hold water in
Speaker 1: your opinion or might there be some of the factors
Speaker 1: we're not seeing or is this anomaly we're seeing some
Speaker 1: of them might reporting and and if they're hipsters the
Speaker 1: report on as far as the cold going, that's never
Speaker 1: gonna help an athlete as far as making the tissues
Speaker 1: more axcepsible spe typically getting injuries earlier the season. About
Speaker 1: accommodation entries, uh simply stated too much, too hard, too soon,
Speaker 1: where there is not used for the frequency of the workout,
Speaker 1: the intensity, maybe their off season protocol what they were
Speaker 1: doing and doing wasn't it's what the coach has given him. Uh.
Speaker 1: The duration, maybe they were working out hard but weren't
Speaker 1: going is long. Maybe they not have to two a
Speaker 1: day practices three days, depending on what the you know,
Speaker 1: government body allows him to do, and then the type
Speaker 1: that they do. A coach may actually find a new
Speaker 1: excellent you know training, uh regiment exercise, but it's a
Speaker 1: brand new this athlete and so since his body isn't
Speaker 1: used to moving in that way, he's not accommodated to
Speaker 1: that dynamic and can get hurt from that. So it's
Speaker 1: something that's very good, very good intention still needs a
Speaker 1: gradual time to progress into it. So Uh, it takes
Speaker 1: about four to six weeks for the tissue strength, of
Speaker 1: pencil strength of the tendons, the tendons and muscles the
Speaker 1: evers to build up and ready to play. Interesting, Thomas,
Speaker 1: One thing that you said there that I really never
Speaker 1: considered before is even if you're used to, you know,
Speaker 1: being in great shape and and and and working out,
Speaker 1: that maybe if you go to another team and you're
Speaker 1: working with another team doctor or another team trainer, you
Speaker 1: might have like a different system or a different regimen
Speaker 1: and that takes time for the body to adjust to
Speaker 1: as well, exactly. And that's part of training too, is
Speaker 1: sometimes you've got to get used to stuff. We get
Speaker 1: used to routine and it get gets more familiar and
Speaker 1: then we quit making advances and changes. But as we
Speaker 1: shake it up and you need to change the intensity
Speaker 1: or the dynamic of it, then yes, it starts to
Speaker 1: wake up the body and say anything with a new
Speaker 1: drill and it may be excellent, but you need the time, uh,
Speaker 1: to work into it. You can't. You can't play into
Speaker 1: shape anymore before the old guys, old school that could
Speaker 1: come into season. Private shape. That's our that's our kid.
Speaker 1: You'll get hurt now, Okay, okay, that's really interesting. So
Speaker 1: one of the other things that I think is really interesting.
Speaker 1: You know, in football, when we had you on last time,
Speaker 1: concussions was obviously a hot topic. And in football you
Speaker 1: see injuries like a c L s and concussions. In baseball,
Speaker 1: one of the most notorious injuries is with UM pictures
Speaker 1: and pictures are having Tommy John surgery recently, which is UM,
Speaker 1: a procedure that obviously was made famous with Yankees picture
Speaker 1: Tommy John having the procedure to repair you know, it's
Speaker 1: almost like the A c L of the elbow, almost
Speaker 1: right the U c L. And can you describe kind
Speaker 1: of maybe that injury, because this is becoming so prevalent
Speaker 1: now in Major League Baseball, it's almost My theory is
Speaker 1: that we are simply pushing the boundaries of human performance
Speaker 1: what these ligaments can do at max effort with these
Speaker 1: hundred mile our velocities, and we're just going to continue
Speaker 1: to see this. Can you explain to us, like how
Speaker 1: this surgery was even conceived. And also, um, you know,
Speaker 1: is this just going to happen or are there things
Speaker 1: we can try to do to prevent this? Well, like you,
Speaker 1: like you think quite before about them trying the platelets
Speaker 1: star as the surgical procedure, the nuances of that would
Speaker 1: be better left for the team search. And as far
Speaker 1: as what they're doing, um and trying to tighten up
Speaker 1: the capsule, it starts trying to basically sew the laxities
Speaker 1: back up, because as you tend to um put more
Speaker 1: and more repetitions on, you're gonna tend to lose the
Speaker 1: protective factors of the tendons and Liegally it's not just
Speaker 1: the ligaments, it's also the tendons and so basically all
Speaker 1: of that is what's gonna contain the elbow or shoulder
Speaker 1: or knee is that capsule. And so they can go
Speaker 1: in and they can these capsules and they can tighten it,
Speaker 1: split sow things up tighter because they'll start to get
Speaker 1: more and more torn, you get micro chears. And so
Speaker 1: I think you were inquiring about what else could be done.
Speaker 1: One of the things we're seeing now, Thomas, is this
Speaker 1: evolution instead of the Tommy John surgery. Players are opting
Speaker 1: for different method methods, right, and one of the things
Speaker 1: that are happening is this idea of the blood spinning,
Speaker 1: you know, the platement rich injections can. Now this sounds crazy.
Speaker 1: I think it's about the different elements or pieces of
Speaker 1: the blood and the healing powers of the blood. Can
Speaker 1: you tell us a little bit more about this kind
Speaker 1: of procedure. Yeah, it's it's not really that crazy, but
Speaker 1: it is new years um. It was. It was being
Speaker 1: done a lot in Europe. Um. Again, a lot of
Speaker 1: explos you know, the soccer as they call a football,
Speaker 1: and a lot of tending apathies and so they do
Speaker 1: take a long time, these tendant industries, they can take
Speaker 1: a really long time and it can be their ending
Speaker 1: that can be season and so finding a way to
Speaker 1: optimize that. This isn't about performance and hands to drug
Speaker 1: but everybody's worried about steroids and cheating performance in hand
Speaker 1: and hand. This is not performanceing testiment. This would be
Speaker 1: performance recovery, you know, trying to optimize recovery so you
Speaker 1: can get that the normal and play with pain and
Speaker 1: be functional. So platelets, these cause healing at a site
Speaker 1: and so when they do surgeries, it's not uncommon for
Speaker 1: them to actually rough up in flame, actually cause some bleeding.
Speaker 1: They will actually vote some bleeding in the injury site
Speaker 1: to have that that blood, that blood products actually promote
Speaker 1: the healing and recovery. So what the blood spinning is
Speaker 1: taking the platelets to help promote that healing of plotting
Speaker 1: at the site. And I'm actually seeing some of my
Speaker 1: preferred providers, my team positions are using it even at
Speaker 1: the high school level to help them recover for example,
Speaker 1: things like the ligaments in the knee, not just the elbow.
Speaker 1: I so I've just seen it used in the knee.
Speaker 1: I haven't had mind that on our kids here in
Speaker 1: the elbow yet. Um So it's gonna be promising to
Speaker 1: see what happens because most of the research is still anecdotal.
Speaker 1: Research has caught up to the practice. Yet in Europe
Speaker 1: it seemed to be more standard this and here we're
Speaker 1: a little more conservative. Does everything is lutigious, So if
Speaker 1: my neighbor is not doing it, should I be doing it?
Speaker 1: And when more people start doing it, then we start
Speaker 1: to get more comfortable and feel more safe with it. Right,
Speaker 1: everyone is a little bit afraid of setting that precedent
Speaker 1: and being that first lawsuit unfortunately. Right. Yeah, and there's
Speaker 1: something they're so holding back and saying, you know, I'll
Speaker 1: continue to test it, but I'm not going to use
Speaker 1: it on the regular clinical basis. Um. So some you know,
Speaker 1: people are saying, Okay, this seems like a case that
Speaker 1: we can use it in and it won't hurt. There
Speaker 1: isn't much that I'm seeing as far as these injections hurting.
Speaker 1: And unless you're doing the injection law, uh, they really
Speaker 1: from what I understands, you could be put in with ultrasound.
Speaker 1: So if somebody's doing with that ultrasound, it really comes
Speaker 1: down to how um, how precise you're surgeon as an
Speaker 1: antomist and getting in the in the right spot because
Speaker 1: placing it h any injection cort zone or otherwise in
Speaker 1: the long spot is not going to serve them well. Right,
Speaker 1: And so you're talking me through a little bit. Let's
Speaker 1: say I'm I'm a patient or I'm an athlete. What
Speaker 1: is this actually is this happening during the course of
Speaker 1: a surgery or these injections can maybe just happening, um,
Speaker 1: you know outside of that for for for maintenance and
Speaker 1: recovery and restoration my experiences outside the surgery. So they
Speaker 1: take some of their blood, so you gotta think it's
Speaker 1: also got to be a facility where they have the
Speaker 1: ability to draw the blood and then it's basically put
Speaker 1: in a it's not it's not real large equipment, but
Speaker 1: kind of think along the lines of small scale transfusion.
Speaker 1: So you gotta pull some of that blood out, spin
Speaker 1: it down, and then they you know, load that up
Speaker 1: and inject that in itto site. So it's not like
Speaker 1: it's not like blood doping in the day where they
Speaker 1: were using injecting red blood cells to carry more oxtimacy,
Speaker 1: you can you know, when it's just basically taking your
Speaker 1: own platelet and injecting into a site to optimize healing.
Speaker 1: So there's no enhancement of performance. It's just supposed to
Speaker 1: help recovery. And Uh, the case that I just saw
Speaker 1: recently where it was done, the athletes seem to recover
Speaker 1: much faster with the types of injury at the m
Speaker 1: c L entry. Uh that media collateral seems to heal
Speaker 1: a whole lot faster and actually got back in and
Speaker 1: finished the season, whereas it was usually even if it
Speaker 1: wasn't completely ruptured was something that was going to be
Speaker 1: bothered into the rest of the season, if not ending. Wow,
Speaker 1: So I gotta ask you, Thomas, when they do that
Speaker 1: in the sense of fuge, right, what happens to the
Speaker 1: other parts of the blood, the other parts beside the platelist?
Speaker 1: Where where? Where do where does the bad blood go? Well,
Speaker 1: they're just gonna They're they're gonna discard that. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna take the Yeah, because when you censor fuge it
Speaker 1: basically according to the density, things are gonna separate out
Speaker 1: and then they can utilize just the portions that they're
Speaker 1: gonna want for the procedure. You are now officially a
Speaker 1: friend of the Fantasy Freestyle coming on twice. Can we
Speaker 1: reach out to you a little bit again, maybe later
Speaker 1: on in the season. Yeah, Yeah, call me back, let
Speaker 1: me know. Thanks for including me. So there you have it.
Speaker 1: That's our first part of my time with Thomas Lowe
Speaker 1: and Donnie. Between the idea of like players athletes moving
Speaker 1: to new teams having to get ready for a different
Speaker 1: like stretching and training regimen, that maybe early on stuff
Speaker 1: to blame too, with people moving to new teams not
Speaker 1: used to the regiment that they're getting, you know, being
Speaker 1: stretched out in the UH in the same way. I
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty interesting. Yeah, it's pretty cool, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad they have people in a lot of these
Speaker 1: organizations that are like Thomas slow that really do care.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Absolutely, I think that's very
Speaker 1: clear and it shines through what he talks. But tomorrow
Speaker 1: or later in the week, we're gonna play part two
Speaker 1: and Thomas uh the interview with Thomas Lowe and Donnie.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I asked him about the measuring
Speaker 1: the urine density. That's our favorite one on the fantasy
Speaker 1: you know how we do, so I asked him about
Speaker 1: measuring the urine density. We're gonna hear a little bit
Speaker 1: more about that later on this week. But what I
Speaker 1: want to tell you is, not only are we giving

Speaker 1: full floor Areo. When we come back, me and my
Speaker 1: boy Donnie Burns, We're gonna tie a nice neat little
Speaker 1: bow on this one. We'll check on on the poll
Speaker 1: questions what team are you most concerned about so far?
Speaker 1: We'll go around the league real quick update the scores
Speaker 1: in the NHL. We got two games. At the end
Speaker 1: of the first period the Cleveland Cavaliers, John, I think
Speaker 1: they may have heard you because they're blowing the roof
Speaker 1: off right now. All that, and we'll also find out
Speaker 1: if if Donnie likes uh, you know, kids in wheelchairs
Speaker 1: or returning veterans better I all that and more. I'm
Speaker 1: boyd Dame Martinez on the Fantasy Freestyle. Come on right back.
Speaker 1: You know what it is. It's your boy day Martinez.
Speaker 1: A k speeds. It's been satistician. You're listening live to
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and Donnie,
Speaker 1: I gotta come back. We only got a couple of
Speaker 1: minutes until Fantasy First Look comes your way. I want
Speaker 1: to know from you, which do you think is sweeter
Speaker 1: in these spring football games. The kid in the wheelchair
Speaker 1: that nobody can tackle, that scores the touchdown, or when
Speaker 1: someone's dressed up, a returning serviceman dressed up with their
Speaker 1: little helmet and the passing and they and and you know,
Speaker 1: the family then realizes that daddy's home, which was more
Speaker 1: touching to you. I'm gonna have to go with the
Speaker 1: army thing having like the father and I saw there
Speaker 1: and the reason why I have to pick this is
Speaker 1: I have a lot of I have two or three
Speaker 1: friends are in the Marines, so that kind of hits home.
Speaker 1: When you see that you, I mean me myself. I
Speaker 1: tear up when I see that constant stuff. And I'm
Speaker 1: not an emotional guy. I feel you. I also think, Donnie,
Speaker 1: you may be pandering to our American Forces, radio network
Speaker 1: viewers so and listeners. So I want to say big
Speaker 1: shout out to them, and of course with all our
Speaker 1: sports Byline affiliates, big shout out to UH six A,
Speaker 1: M K N E B and Scott's Bluff, Nebraska. Hollow right,
Speaker 1: your boy. It was the Nebraska's bring game where you know,
Speaker 1: this guy came back from Afghanistan at the at the
Speaker 1: coin flip and really made his uh you know, made
Speaker 1: everybody very very happy. Let's take a little bit of
Speaker 1: look around the league right now. At the end of
Speaker 1: the first period, Ottawa Snesators up on the Boston Bruins
Speaker 1: to nothing in that one, Capitals up on the Maple
Speaker 1: Leafs to one end of the first period in that
Speaker 1: one as well. And Donnie, I'm sorry to say, we
Speaker 1: both said that out of those four teams, relatives to
Speaker 1: our expectations, we were most concerned about the Cleveland Cavaliers
Speaker 1: not playing any defense. Got lucky that Paul George did
Speaker 1: not be able to take another shot. He was hot.
Speaker 1: But uh, they are spanking down the Indiana Pacers right now,
Speaker 1: late in the second quarter, Cleveland Cavaliers are up by
Speaker 1: eleven fifty six to forty five as they look to
Speaker 1: despite all the ridiculousness, despite all the talk lebron in
Speaker 1: whatever it is, zero dark thirty not posted on social media,
Speaker 1: they're still gonna look like they wind up going to
Speaker 1: and and taking the early lead in this series. I
Speaker 1: will say this right now, percent of you think that
Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics are the team you're most concerned about.
Speaker 1: We'll see if Isaiah Thomas can bounce back. You say,
Speaker 1: the Raptors. Maybe the Greek freak, my man Giannapo. I
Speaker 1: know Frankie Stanfill coming up next. He thinks the Greek
Speaker 1: freak can do it. We'll find out what else he
Speaker 1: thinks on Fantasy first Look, that's coming up next. That's
Speaker 1: it for me, though Dane Martinez speeds to spending statistician
Speaker 1: come on back tomorrow, Fantasy freestyle. Donnie Burns will talk
Speaker 1: about playoffs. It'll be a big, good fun time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do it.
