Speaker 1: Radio Network. Come right back, Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: It's boy Dane Martinez Speeds, the spitting statistician holding you
Speaker 1: down on a Friday happy hour. We are live from
Speaker 1: Studio thirty four here in Rock and Riley's in Midtown Manhattan.
Speaker 1: I got my boy j P the Night Owl on
Speaker 1: the Ones and Zoos tonight, filling in for Chris Pavona,
Speaker 1: but still keeping it so hot that we sweat steam,
Speaker 1: blowing up like a Samsung seven. What I gotta do
Speaker 1: is give you my starting lineups going into the weekend.
Speaker 1: But first, some news and notes around Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: Kevin kure Meyer for the Tampa Bay Rays. He's going
Speaker 1: to miss over two months, they say, with a hip injury.
Speaker 1: He injured that earlier this week sliding into first base.
Speaker 1: Make sure you take note in your lineups. Kevin Kermeyer
Speaker 1: will be out for a while. Many A chat O
Speaker 1: stud third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles. He's kind of
Speaker 1: unsure of his status for this weekend. In a series
Speaker 1: against the Yankees at Yankee stayed in with that wrist injury.
Speaker 1: He says that he is still sore. They have him
Speaker 1: listed as day today. Brandon Finnegan, pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds,
Speaker 1: coming back from a trapezis injury. He is going to
Speaker 1: start a rehab stint with Double A Pensacola on Sunday.
Speaker 1: You may want to stash him if you're like hurting
Speaker 1: for pitching right now. He will be back up with
Speaker 1: the big club in Cincinnati eventually. Also, Nelson Cruz for
Speaker 1: the Seattle Mariners, the man with the boomstick and m R.
Speaker 1: Showed a slight tear in his calf. However, Nelson Cruz
Speaker 1: says that he is going to play through that thinks
Speaker 1: he will be in the starting lineup tonight. The Seattle
Speaker 1: Mariners have not released their starting lineup as of yet.
Speaker 1: If we get word on that will let you know.
Speaker 1: Right now, Nelson Cruise listed as day to day and
Speaker 1: in a piece of news here at the Fantas Freestyle,
Speaker 1: we want to applaud and tip our cap. Starting pitcher
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Jamison ty yone will return to
Speaker 1: the Pirates starting rotation next week. If you remember and
Speaker 1: if you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle, you know that
Speaker 1: he is coming back from testicular cancer, had a surgery
Speaker 1: and is working his way back. Here at the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle and the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we tip our
Speaker 1: cap and wish him well in his return from testicular cancer.
Speaker 1: The other thing I want to mention, if you heard
Speaker 1: me all week long on the Fantasy Freestyle last week,
Speaker 1: you you heard me say that I like Zack Godley
Speaker 1: on the Arizona Diamondbacks, and then he got sent down
Speaker 1: to the Miners. He was thirty seven percent owned when
Speaker 1: all the way down to eighteen percent owned in season
Speaker 1: long leagues, I told you all week long. This would
Speaker 1: be a great speculative ad. This guy had a two
Speaker 1: three r A a one point oh nine whip Okay,
Speaker 1: And like I said, I told you the who's just
Speaker 1: roster manipulation by the Diamondbacks. He is going to be
Speaker 1: back and is slated to start on Sunday for Arizona. Okay.
Speaker 1: As we always do here on the Fantasy Freestyle, first
Speaker 1: we hold ourselves accountable to the starting pitchers I told
Speaker 1: you about last night, and then I give you my
Speaker 1: starters here to win your leagues and win that cash.
Speaker 1: Last night, I told you was a unique night where you,
Speaker 1: in fact should pay up for the most expensive starter
Speaker 1: on the board. Last night, that was Lance mccullors for
Speaker 1: the Houston Astros going against the worst team in the
Speaker 1: American League, the Kansas City Royals. And what do he do?
Speaker 1: He picked seven innings, he had a no hitter going
Speaker 1: until the seventh, ultimately gave up one run, struck out eight,
Speaker 1: got the quality start and the win as the Astros
Speaker 1: beat the Royal six to one. I would just consider
Speaker 1: that another called shot by your boy Speeds, the spitting statistician.
Speaker 1: But you may be asking yourself as you go into
Speaker 1: the weekend needing a little bit of extra money. Hey, speeds,
Speaker 1: who should be starting this weekend? Well, I got some
Speaker 1: guys for you. First of all, Corey Kluber tonight, even
Speaker 1: though he is at ten thousand, five hundred against the
Speaker 1: White Sox. The White Sox are horrible against right handed pitchers.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times I have to tell
Speaker 1: you this. I fade the White Sox against rights. And
Speaker 1: also Kluber has a good history against the White Sox.
Speaker 1: I like Corey Kluber tonight, and I would pay up
Speaker 1: for him. Of course, he got Irwin Santana tonight at
Speaker 1: on FanDuel at San Francisco. That is a great ballpark
Speaker 1: for pitchers. Santana could be a good start, But if
Speaker 1: you want to spend a little bit less money, I
Speaker 1: like Michael Waka tonight. I know his last few starts
Speaker 1: have not been strong, but he's going against the Phillies.
Speaker 1: The Phillies are last in the NL in terms of
Speaker 1: run scored against right handed pitchers. They also have the
Speaker 1: third lowest OPS in the National League. Their team OPS
Speaker 1: is seven oh seven. You could do a lot better
Speaker 1: than that. So if you want a bargain basement guy
Speaker 1: like Michael Wauka tonight at seventy three hundred on FanDuel
Speaker 1: against the Phillies. As we look ahead to the weekend
Speaker 1: on Saturday, listen, remember how I said I liked Santana
Speaker 1: at the Giants because of the ballpark. Well, tomorrow you
Speaker 1: got Jesse Barrios going against those same Giants in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Burials so far four and one at two point seven
Speaker 1: six e r A. Remember, like I said, the Giants
Speaker 1: offense is not something that you should be scared of.
Speaker 1: Their two hundred and twenty four runs so far, our
Speaker 1: second lowest in the National League. On Saturday, don't forget.
Speaker 1: Remember I got my man, Zack Godley coming back against
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Brewers. And listen those Brewers they strike out
Speaker 1: like WHOA. So I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: Zach Godly and his first start back trying to stay
Speaker 1: in the rotation puts forth a good effort. Then you
Speaker 1: look to Sunday, and if you look to Sunday, you know,
Speaker 1: I think they're studs going okay. You got Chris Archer
Speaker 1: against the A's at home. You got Max Serzer against
Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers, and the Rangers they're they're starting pitcher
Speaker 1: on Sunday right now is tb D So you gotta
Speaker 1: figure that Sheersa will have a tremendous advantage in that one.
Speaker 1: You got my man James Paxton in his second start
Speaker 1: off the d L against the Blue Jays. I like that.
Speaker 1: And then, don't get it twisted. The guy that has
Speaker 1: been my darling all season long. I started telling you
Speaker 1: about this guy in the preseason because I've loved his
Speaker 1: strikeout total from last year and I thought he would
Speaker 1: make strides in turn of in terms of his walk rate,
Speaker 1: in terms of his E R A and whip. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about right now, the twenty five radied player overall
Speaker 1: and Fantasy Baseball, the guy I drafted in the fourteenth
Speaker 1: round this year for the Arizona Diamondbacks. My man strikeout artist,
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray against the Milwaukee Brewers, a strikeout team against
Speaker 1: the strikeout pitcher. I think, once again, Robbie Ray is
Speaker 1: primed and in position for nine plus strike gouts on Sunday.
Speaker 1: That's what I give you, guys. I give you what
Speaker 1: you need to win your leagues and win that cash.
Speaker 1: As we move on here, there in our starting lineups.
Speaker 1: When we start about baseball earlier this season, I gave
Speaker 1: you Gary Sheffield's platform on how to improve the game
Speaker 1: if he was commissioner, you know, and he talked about
Speaker 1: things like taking the regulation of slides out of the game.
Speaker 1: He talked about changes to instant replay and pace of play.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you here, though, and let me bring
Speaker 1: in the night owl right now, real quick, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you here are the things that I think can
Speaker 1: be done to change the pace of play. Check this out, JP.
Speaker 1: You know how in football, how the quarterbacks have an
Speaker 1: earpiece in their helmet. You're a millennial. What would be
Speaker 1: problem if the starting pitcher had like an earpiece or
Speaker 1: had a microphone under his cap, Because if we did that,
Speaker 1: we would eliminate mound visits all together. The pitching coach
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to come out, the catcher wouldn't be
Speaker 1: able to them out. I'm talking about right now. I
Speaker 1: can hear you, JP in my ear. I think the
Speaker 1: pictures need an i FB for scouting reports to eliminate
Speaker 1: mound visits altogether. Here's the other thing that needs to happen.
Speaker 1: And JP, you're way too young to remember this. But
Speaker 1: if anybody right there is still down there. Greg Sussman,
Speaker 1: Nando de Fino, remember back in the eighties, at least
Speaker 1: as a Yankee fin, when a guy was coming out
Speaker 1: of the bullpen, they came out via golf cart. They
Speaker 1: came out via like pimped out car. Why is this
Speaker 1: no longer in Major League Baseball? If you're talking about
Speaker 1: the pace of play, what's quicker a guy running out
Speaker 1: from the bullpen or hop in the golf cart and
Speaker 1: come out. I think the big changes that need to
Speaker 1: be happening are put an i FB in the pitcher's
Speaker 1: ear and let bullpen guys come out via a golf
Speaker 1: cart or a car. That's my platform. If I were commissioners,
Speaker 1: sure I'd handle P E. D s. Sure the wild
Speaker 1: Cards should be a three games series. Sure if pictures
Speaker 1: get suspended, it should not be based on games, but
Speaker 1: based on starts. But if you want to know the truth,
Speaker 1: I say bringing back the golf card. JP. Do you
Speaker 1: remember back in the day when pictures used to come
Speaker 1: via golf cart? I do not remember that. Note, but
Speaker 1: would not that would that not change the pace of play?
Speaker 1: That would definitely change the place. Yeah, That's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. That's why Speeds, the Spitting Statistician is here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle. Okay, not only to help you
Speaker 1: win your money, but also I'm trying to improve things.
Speaker 1: Pace of play changes are coming, electronics strike zone is coming.
Speaker 1: We will see what happens. But if your boy Speeds
Speaker 1: was commissioner, we'd have golf carts and I f B
Speaker 1: s in the pictures here. When we come back though,
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle, JP is gonna come in. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk NBA Finals. Is the heart and soul of
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavaliers already done. It's like Harry Potter and
Speaker 1: the Dementors. Have they sucked the soul out of the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Cavaliers. Will find out when we come back here
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Ray your network. That's your boy, Dane Martinez, Speeds and
Speaker 1: Spitting Statistician. Come all right back, let's go. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to the Fantasy Freestyle here under award winning Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Network. As always, we got our sports byline affiliates
Speaker 1: around the country listening, as well as our American Forces
Speaker 1: Radio network on bases around the world. Big shout to
Speaker 1: the service men and women out there getting a little
Speaker 1: taste of home from your boys Speeds, the spitting Statistician
Speaker 1: and the fantasy freestyle even there in Doha, Cutter, trust me,
Speaker 1: your boy Speeds recognizes you out there, unlike some other people.
Speaker 1: Let's keep it moving though here in the cipher with
Speaker 1: my man JP, the Night Owl. Let me give you
Speaker 1: some news and notes around the NFL. You know, O.
Speaker 1: T a s. Concluding and so, like I said, we
Speaker 1: hear a lot of greatest shape of his life stories.
Speaker 1: We also hear that everyone's healing tremendously, and you know,
Speaker 1: we get a little bit of news and notes that
Speaker 1: maybe impactful. So, for example, Andrew Luck, quarterback of the
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts, they say he is quote unquote healing tremendously
Speaker 1: in his return from shoulder surgery. However, there is actually
Speaker 1: no timetable for his return. He's missed. O. T A s.
Speaker 1: He will likely miss the majority of training camp. However,
Speaker 1: the Colts say that he'll be fine for week one,
Speaker 1: so it's probably not something the only thing to look for,
Speaker 1: and they have not done this yet. If they sign
Speaker 1: another quarterback, whether it's to just get reps or potentially
Speaker 1: be a backup at that point in time. That's when
Speaker 1: I would be concerned if I was a Colts fan
Speaker 1: or Andrew Luck owner. That is still not the case. Interesting,
Speaker 1: you know enough reports out of Jets camp Christian Hackenburg.
Speaker 1: Apparently he was hitting reporters left and right during O
Speaker 1: t a s. That does not speak to my man's accuracy.
Speaker 1: That does not speak to my man's development. But like
Speaker 1: you know, I am a Jets fan and I just
Speaker 1: want them to run hack out there. I want the
Speaker 1: Jet to go one and fifteen. Hashtag suck for Sam,
Speaker 1: and by Sam, I mean Sam Donald next year, the
Speaker 1: quarterback out of USC with the number overall pick. We
Speaker 1: shall see. This week, we were talking a lot about
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin. Remember he was released from the Chiefs over
Speaker 1: the weekend, and he was visiting Buffalo, visiting Baltimore where
Speaker 1: apparently he has had his tour and he has left
Speaker 1: both places without a deal. And last news and note
Speaker 1: I'll give you uh Pittsburgh's former Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams. Apparently there is reports out that he is
Speaker 1: going to join Impact Wrestling. He may become a wrestler,
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams. Apparently he is competing with a guy named
Speaker 1: Moose on July two. Then I gotta say Impact Wrestling.
Speaker 1: You know they are partners with the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: so I would be happy to see de'angelo Williams and
Speaker 1: his Pink dreads competing with Impact Wrestling. However, as we
Speaker 1: keep it moving here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: I'm bring mob Boy j P the night Owl in
Speaker 1: as we talk about Game four of the NBA Finals,
Speaker 1: which is ready to tip off in about an hour
Speaker 1: and a half. If you ask me when the Warriors
Speaker 1: came back to win one eighteen to one thirteen and
Speaker 1: Wednesday's Game three, Like I said, if you're a fan
Speaker 1: of Harry Potter and you know about the de Mentors,
Speaker 1: how they took your soul with the kiss, I think
Speaker 1: that's what Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors did
Speaker 1: to Lebron and the Calves in the fourth quarter of
Speaker 1: Game three on Wednesday. Calves had that lead and then
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant with the three, Clay Thompson having defense that
Speaker 1: he has had all season and series long against Kyrie
Speaker 1: and the Golden State Warriors took that win. Listen, I
Speaker 1: actually think that the Golden State Warriors are going to
Speaker 1: finish the sweep tonight in Cleveland and the Boys will
Speaker 1: be able to celebrate their win. I mean, is there
Speaker 1: anywhere else to go? JP? Let me bring you in
Speaker 1: right here real quick. As the night out. I didn't
Speaker 1: get your official prediction going in. Our boy, Donny Burns
Speaker 1: thought the Calves were gonna win this series in six.
Speaker 1: Now it would take about thirteen games for the Calves
Speaker 1: to get ahead. Do you think this is pretty much, uh,
Speaker 1: the coronation the nail and the lebron coffin tonight, JP. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think this has to be the nail on the coffin.
Speaker 1: I mean, the last thing the Warriors need to hear
Speaker 1: for a few days is, oh, here comes the Calves
Speaker 1: if they lose this game, right, they don't want to
Speaker 1: hear any of that that it's tonight or I'd be
Speaker 1: even a little bit worried. And Draymond is not getting suspended.
Speaker 1: There are no conspiracy theories here. The Golden State Warriors
Speaker 1: have in fact built a super team and it is
Speaker 1: going to come to fruition tonight. Uh, you know, in
Speaker 1: about four hours I don't know where I'll be, but
Speaker 1: I know where the Golden State Warriors will be. That
Speaker 1: is in their locker rooms celebrating an NBA championships. So
Speaker 1: to that effect, JP, let me ask you something I
Speaker 1: have as our pole question tonight at F and T
Speaker 1: s Y Radio at your boys Spitting Speeds as well.
Speaker 1: My pole question right now is who will win the
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. You gotta figure that if it continues along
Speaker 1: this path, k D gets his vindication going to the
Speaker 1: Warriors performing in this series and being the m v P.
Speaker 1: You gotta figure he's uh, he wins that trophy tonight, right,
Speaker 1: Uh right, JP. Yeah, It's hard to see it going
Speaker 1: any other way unless someone goes absolutely off tonight. It's
Speaker 1: hard to see anyone else getting it. And right now,
Speaker 1: the voters here at F and T s Y Radio
Speaker 1: at Spitting Speeds, you guys agree right now? Uh cent
Speaker 1: of you think that Kevin Durant ultimately will in fact
Speaker 1: be the m v P of the NBA Finals. Nine
Speaker 1: percent of you are picking anybody else, And to be honest,
Speaker 1: who is that anybody else? Maybe, like if Cleveland alongates
Speaker 1: the series, you can have something where Lebron is the
Speaker 1: m v P. Like, honestly, if the Calves get to
Speaker 1: a Game six or Game seven, it's likely a herculean
Speaker 1: effort from Lebron James and may warrant m v P consideration.
Speaker 1: Maybe Steph Curry, maybe someone like Clay if he continues
Speaker 1: to drop thirty and play incredible defense. But I agree
Speaker 1: with you JP, it is probably Kevin Durant who will
Speaker 1: get his vindication as m v P of this NBA Finals.
Speaker 1: Let me go here now as we continue on the
Speaker 1: cipher here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and also
Speaker 1: let me before we get into the Beaumont let me
Speaker 1: tell you about so many ways that you can listen
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Sports Radio Network and also, like you know,
Speaker 1: do what you need to to win that cash. For example,
Speaker 1: if you go to the Rhodo Experts dot Com, you
Speaker 1: can get the exclusive Edge in Season Fantasy Baseball package
Speaker 1: right now. It is your ultimate bench coach for the
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventies season. You would stay ahead of
Speaker 1: the pack with our in depth statistical breakdowns, our trend analysis,
Speaker 1: and our player insights. You could become a waiver wizard.
Speaker 1: You could learn how to scan the numbers like a
Speaker 1: Rhodo scientist. We also we help you set the ideal
Speaker 1: lineups every week and season. You get a built in
Speaker 1: fantasy training staff with our new Injury Advisor powered by
Speaker 1: Inside Injuries dot com. Get the roto Experts dot com
Speaker 1: suseave Edge in Season Fantasy Baseball package now and start
Speaker 1: soaring to the top of the standings. And also if
Speaker 1: you enter promo code free radio and check out, you
Speaker 1: get a special discount. That's what we do here. We
Speaker 1: help you give you what you need to win your
Speaker 1: leagues and win that cash. Another way you can win
Speaker 1: some cash this weekend, however, is with the final jewel
Speaker 1: of the Triple Crown. We're talking about the Belmont Stakes
Speaker 1: happening right here in New York tomorrow. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: but if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago, you would have heard me give you always
Speaker 1: dreaming as the Kentucky Derby winner. Then what happened at
Speaker 1: five to one he won the Kentucky Derby. Then a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago on the Friday Show before the
Speaker 1: Preefness Stakes, you would have heard that I was zigging
Speaker 1: when people were zagging, and I liked fourteen to one
Speaker 1: shot cloud Computing. Then guess what happened? Your boy came
Speaker 1: home and one the Preakness. So let's get into my
Speaker 1: Belmont preview right now. The first thing you need to
Speaker 1: know Always Dreaming will not be running, Cloud Computing will
Speaker 1: not be running. The other big time favorite, Classic Empire
Speaker 1: will not be running. So quite frankly, you have a
Speaker 1: wide open field in this race. However, there are three
Speaker 1: horses that I like that I want to tell you about.
Speaker 1: First of all, Looking at Lee is going off right
Speaker 1: now at five to one. This is the only horse
Speaker 1: that will run in all three legs of the Triple
Speaker 1: Crown this year. This horse is a legitimate Grade one
Speaker 1: stakes kind of horse, and because of all these big
Speaker 1: boys are not in, I think Looking at Lee could
Speaker 1: be interesting. He is kind of pretty much the best
Speaker 1: horse left standing. The problem is, you know, because he
Speaker 1: did run in Kentucky, because he did run in Baltimore,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he has the gas left. I
Speaker 1: do like the act though, that he's got I ride
Speaker 1: or ties on him, and he's got asked Musin as
Speaker 1: his trainer. That was the same trainer jockey combination that
Speaker 1: won the Belmont last year with Creator looking at Lee
Speaker 1: is a five to one shot that I think is
Speaker 1: worth it if you want to move on. Irish war
Speaker 1: Cry is the favorite. I am trying to beat him.
Speaker 1: This is a horse that ran like tenth in the
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby, is not like a truly great horse. Here
Speaker 1: is the horse that I'm gonna give you a little
Speaker 1: bit off the pace that I think could be in
Speaker 1: your exotics and could be worth it. Tomorrow at the Belmont,
Speaker 1: I'm giving you the number two horse, Tapron, trained by
Speaker 1: Todd Pletcher, jockey Jose Orties. This is a horse that
Speaker 1: was in the Kentucky Derby but was part of that
Speaker 1: bad start. Got banged around. Okay, remember a lot of
Speaker 1: horses Classic Empire. It was other horses like McCracken got
Speaker 1: banged around and could not make it home. Tapert, however,
Speaker 1: ran well rallied up at the end of the Kentucky
Speaker 1: Derby and then he took a break. He did not
Speaker 1: enter into the Preakness. I think that's very interesting, Don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong. I think Tapprit with the best ever
Speaker 1: buyer figure of nineties six with Pletcher training him and
Speaker 1: Jay Ortiz on the mount. Remember he's also bred by
Speaker 1: tapp It, a former Triple Crown winner. Okay, so I
Speaker 1: like Tappert, the number two horse. I think he's going
Speaker 1: off right now at seven to one. If you want
Speaker 1: to get some value on the Belmont, take a look
Speaker 1: at Tapert, the two horse, the other guy I will
Speaker 1: give you. Okay, we talked about looking at Lee, the
Speaker 1: only horse to compete in all three races. I think
Speaker 1: you gotta put him in in your you know, Trifecta's superfectus.
Speaker 1: And of course there is Irish war Cry. He's going
Speaker 1: off right now at seven to two. Irish war Cry
Speaker 1: was steered by Curlin. Curland was a horse that had
Speaker 1: the legs to run the mile and a half that
Speaker 1: the Belmont will demand. This is a closing horse. This
Speaker 1: is a guy I think will be there as well.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the six horse, looking at Lee,
Speaker 1: the seven horse, Irish war Cry, and my sleeper, the
Speaker 1: two horse, Tappert coming up tomorrow at the Belmont Stakes,
Speaker 1: the final jewel of the Triple Crown, and we will
Speaker 1: have three different winners. Remember I called the Kentucky Derby,
Speaker 1: I called the Freakness. I'm gonna give you Tapert as
Speaker 1: a surprise horse coming off the pace the two horse,
Speaker 1: so win the Belmont. Your favorites the six and the seven.
Speaker 1: Looking at Lee and I wish war Cry can't hate
Speaker 1: them either. When we come back though, my man JP,
Speaker 1: we're gonna catch him off, catch him up as we
Speaker 1: put the fund ends functional Sports Radio here on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Dane Martinez speeds the spitting statistician. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. It your boy, Jane Martinez speeds and spitting statistician,
Speaker 1: holding you down. I got my man JP, the night
Speaker 1: Owl here on the ones and tools, keeping it so
Speaker 1: hot that we sweat steam on a Friday here on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. And we're recording live from
Speaker 1: Studio thirty four. It's nice out. We're gonna have a
Speaker 1: nice weekend here in New York City. So we got
Speaker 1: the rooftop popping here at Rock and Riley's. And like
Speaker 1: I said, I just gave you my pick for the Belmont,
Speaker 1: and my under the radar pick is the number two
Speaker 1: horse tapper it and so our referenced Kentucky in the
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby. So I want to give a big shout
Speaker 1: out to everybody listening on our sports byline affiliates in
Speaker 1: Bowling Green on a m W B g N and
Speaker 1: of course in Radcliffe, Kentucky out there on ninety four
Speaker 1: point three w U l F. Now let's let's get
Speaker 1: into it with a man the Night Owl. JP. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you're familiar with this, JP, but what
Speaker 1: I usually do on Friday, when Chris Bovona is on
Speaker 1: the ones and tools keeping it so hot that we
Speaker 1: sweat steam, we catch him up because, as you know,
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Freestyle, we put the fun in
Speaker 1: functional sports radio. Not only am I giving you what
Speaker 1: you need to win your leagues and win that cash,
Speaker 1: but we also have fun over here. Okay, So we've
Speaker 1: got a lot of topics, and usually I catch Chris up. JP.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you as much this week here as
Speaker 1: the Night Out, so I feel like I want to
Speaker 1: bounce a couple of stories off of you and get
Speaker 1: your reaction, Okay, And I also want to find out
Speaker 1: if you could predict what the Fantasy Freestyle listeners and
Speaker 1: voters said on some of the poll questions we had
Speaker 1: earlier on this week. How do you feel about that? JP?
Speaker 1: I feel good about it. I'm excited to all right,
Speaker 1: So let's go here. First, Let's let's see how you
Speaker 1: can do about these poll questions that we had up
Speaker 1: this week Bovona. But I gotta tell you, Bovona does
Speaker 1: pretty good on these. So the first poll question we
Speaker 1: had earlier this week, I asked the listeners what was
Speaker 1: the worst quarterback situation in the NFL, and your options
Speaker 1: were the Jets, the Browns, the Texans, and the forty Niners.
Speaker 1: Who do you think the listeners voted for as the
Speaker 1: worst quarterback situation in the NFL? I think they went
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Wow, you are correct, JP, one for one.
Speaker 1: Forty five per cent of the people said the Jets,
Speaker 1: only cent said the brown six percent said the Texans,
Speaker 1: said the forty Niners. I gotta tell you the one
Speaker 1: guy wrote in and said that the the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: rams with Jared Goff because he doesn't know where the
Speaker 1: sun rises and sets. If you saw that Hard Knocks episode, Okay,
Speaker 1: but you are correct, JP, you are one for one.
Speaker 1: I'm very impressed so far. Why do you think the
Speaker 1: Jets though, I mean it's only gotten worse since then.
Speaker 1: I mean you hear reports of like you said, Hackenburg Sporters,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's your starter right now. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I want the Jets to go one in fifteen. Hashtag
Speaker 1: suck for Sam. All right, let's keep it moving. The
Speaker 1: next poll we had up and this was because, if
Speaker 1: you remember, Jeremy Macklin was last weekend by the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. He's out there visiting Buffalo, visiting Baltimore, looking
Speaker 1: to latch on. We also got word this week that
Speaker 1: the New York Jets were going to either release or
Speaker 1: try to trade Eric Decker. So I had a question
Speaker 1: out there which of these potentially available wide receivers are
Speaker 1: best to help an NFL team but also potentially your
Speaker 1: fantasy football team. The three options were, like I said,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin, Eric Decker, and also a free agent that's
Speaker 1: out here with a great NFL career. And Kwan Bolden
Speaker 1: was also included in this poll. He's right now apt
Speaker 1: and looking to be signed. Out of those three wide receivers,
Speaker 1: who do you think the people voted as the best
Speaker 1: wide receiver to help a team or their fantasy team.
Speaker 1: I look at Eric Decker is an improved version of
Speaker 1: an Kwan Boulden, so I'm gonna have to take him
Speaker 1: Macklin second and then third being the last guy. Wow,
Speaker 1: night out, you are two for two. Fifty seven percent
Speaker 1: of the people said that Eric Decker was still positioned
Speaker 1: to help a team or a fantasy team. Thirty six
Speaker 1: percent say Jeremy Macklin, seven percent went with an Quan Bolden. Wow,
Speaker 1: you are hot right nowt night owl. Wow. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if we can stump you. It's just what
Speaker 1: the people say. All right, let's keep you moving though.
Speaker 1: The last thing, the last thing, the last thing that
Speaker 1: I asked, as people are getting it going here and
Speaker 1: Rock and Riley's on studio thirty four people enjoying happy
Speaker 1: hour and letting me know that they enjoyed happy Hour
Speaker 1: on their way out of the bar. All I will
Speaker 1: say is that, but moving along, The question is how
Speaker 1: many games will the NBA Finals go? Your options are
Speaker 1: four or five, six and seven. I will say this
Speaker 1: just this JP. We asked this question after Game three
Speaker 1: and after the Golden State Warriors had a three nothing lead.
Speaker 1: This is the poll question on yesterday's show. So yesterday
Speaker 1: four or five, six or seven games? What do you think?
Speaker 1: People said? I'm gonna go with five, You're gonna go
Speaker 1: with five sixties. Six percent of the people said four games,
Speaker 1: said that it ends tonight. Six two thirds of the
Speaker 1: people say it ends tonight. Agree with you, ultimately thinking
Speaker 1: that Cleveland will win tonight but then lose back at
Speaker 1: oracle Um. Four percent of the people say it's six games.
Speaker 1: Seven percent, however, think that Lebron is gonna pull off
Speaker 1: something and go to a game seven. Let's keep it
Speaker 1: moving though here as we put the Fun and Functional
Speaker 1: Sports Radio JP we like here on the Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: to talk about UM athletes and sports love triangles. Are
Speaker 1: you down with that very much? Let's do fantastic. So
Speaker 1: there are not one, not to but three examples of
Speaker 1: sports based love triangles that we're gonna be talking about. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna, you know, overview them all and then
Speaker 1: I want to see which one you think is like
Speaker 1: most crazy, most valid, you know that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: I'll get your comments on it. Okay. So the first
Speaker 1: one is, um, remember when Adriana Lima and Matt Harvey
Speaker 1: UM and Julian Edelman back at the met Gala. This
Speaker 1: is basically what inspired Matt Harvey to have a bender
Speaker 1: and then get suspended by the Mets. It's all Adriana
Speaker 1: Lima and Julian Edelman's fault. Okay, but check this out.
Speaker 1: We have news this week. Adriana Lima on Instagram took
Speaker 1: a picture with a wedding or an engagement ring on,
Speaker 1: and Adriana Lima is saying that she is marrying herself.
Speaker 1: Apparently salagamy, solo agamy, salagamy is is a thing right now.
Speaker 1: People marrying themselves. You don't get better health insurance. So
Speaker 1: it's not about that. But you know, people apparently want to,
Speaker 1: you know, show that they love themselves. And Adriana Lima,
Speaker 1: although if you ask me, she does not need to
Speaker 1: do this, but apparently she is doing this, marrying herself.
Speaker 1: Forget Julian Edelman, Forget Matt Harvey. So I ask you,
Speaker 1: because JP, you're a young guy, so is Adriana Lima.
Speaker 1: Do you think she needs to do this? That's that's crazy. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: she's talking about how she loves herself. She's not about
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, She's not about Matt Harvey. So I gotta
Speaker 1: ask you, how do you like this? News came out
Speaker 1: last Friday when Matt Harvey gave up six runs in
Speaker 1: five innings. Pitch you think maybe he heard about this
Speaker 1: and he was like a little downtrodden. What do you think? Oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: he definitely heard about that. That had to have had enough.
Speaker 1: So that is sports Love Triangle number one, Sports Love
Speaker 1: Triangle number two. This week. You're a basketball guy, JP,
Speaker 1: Are you familiar about why Derek Fisher and Matt Barnes
Speaker 1: don't like each other? Yes? Okay, okay, And it all
Speaker 1: comes down to two words. Those two words are Gloria
Speaker 1: go Van. She was in Basketball Wives, And so you're
Speaker 1: familiar about all this, right, and you may also be
Speaker 1: familiar JP that, uh, Derek Fisher got popped for d
Speaker 1: U I last weekend. Are you familiar with this? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: So here's the news though. The car that Derek Fisher
Speaker 1: was driving. Do you know who was ultimately registered to
Speaker 1: I do, Matt Barnes, that's right. So who do you
Speaker 1: think is in the power seat of this love triangle
Speaker 1: right now? I'm gonna go with the guy without the
Speaker 1: d U. Yeah, yeah, I agree with you, Matt Barnes,
Speaker 1: the guy who has the kid, who has the two
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen Escalade that he's just given out right to
Speaker 1: his baby mama to be able to drive. Right. So, so,
Speaker 1: right now we have Adriana Lima and Matt Barnes in
Speaker 1: the power positions, right yep, and Matt Barnes about to
Speaker 1: win an NBA finals. That is true. I like the
Speaker 1: way you think JP. There's no reason that we don't
Speaker 1: call him the night Owl for nothing, ladies and gentlemen. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the last one. And I don't think you're ready
Speaker 1: for this. We're going back to the NBA Finals. What
Speaker 1: if I told you that there were issues? I mean,
Speaker 1: did you hear about Rihanna? You know about Rihanna? You
Speaker 1: know about how she's thoroughly riding with the calves. Right
Speaker 1: she was like shouting brick when Kevin Durant was hitting
Speaker 1: the foul shot, things like that, Right, But what if
Speaker 1: I told you that Kevin Durant he don't need no Rihanna.
Speaker 1: Do you know who Kevin Durant had in his past
Speaker 1: who he used to date while he and this young
Speaker 1: lady were both underclassman at the University of Texas? You do?
Speaker 1: Current bachelorette, Rachel Lipsey I think her name is. She
Speaker 1: is currently the Bachelorette. She had a history with Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: There were reports out there that they were quote unquote
Speaker 1: very serious. So I ask you, JP, because this is
Speaker 1: what I need to know, because I and I gotta
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. Also, my man Maddie Mo just
Speaker 1: entered the building, which is Fantasy Black Book coming up
Speaker 1: next on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. My man Joe
Speaker 1: Pisappia and Maddie Mo. They are going to hold you
Speaker 1: down for real. I think they're gonna talk about how
Speaker 1: great it is that Massahiro Tanaka is not starting on
Speaker 1: Sunday this weekend. I don't think it should start on
Speaker 1: Monday either. I think they need to have a phantom
Speaker 1: DL stint for this man. But I digress. Okay, So, um,
Speaker 1: where was I Yes, Rachel the Bachelorette with Kevin Durant,
Speaker 1: right and uh and you've Rihanna right, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: Here's my question for you, JP, because you're in college
Speaker 1: right now, right. Yeah, Okay, reports are that they had
Speaker 1: a serious relationship, but as you know, Kevin Durant was
Speaker 1: only at the University of Texas for like nine months.
Speaker 1: So if you ask Maddie Mo, if you ask Pies
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician. You're together for nine months? How can
Speaker 1: you be quote unquote fairly serious? However, JP in college
Speaker 1: years is a nine month relationship serious? I mean for me, yes,
Speaker 1: But I'm also would be like a long term thing
Speaker 1: for you, right, Yeah, for sure. So apparently Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: and this bachelorette had a long term deal. So if
Speaker 1: he doesn't need to worry about, he doesn't need to
Speaker 1: worry about Rihanna. Right. That's that's what I would have
Speaker 1: to say. I have to agree. Okay, let me, let me,
Speaker 1: let me get into this. Um. Are you a who's
Speaker 1: your football team? JP? The Giants? You're a Giants fan? Okay?
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I'm a Jets fan. Okay, So you you need
Speaker 1: to worry about like Cat and Paul Perky and handle
Speaker 1: the load and things like that. Is Damon Harrison going
Speaker 1: to continue to lock down the run defense? Is Langdon Collins? Uh?
Speaker 1: And a defensive NBP candidate? As a Jets fan, though, man,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. I'm just hoping. I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that Sam Donald ascends as Tom Brady retires. But I
Speaker 1: digress My question for you, Uh did you see that
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan and Rob Ryan were partying in Nashville as
Speaker 1: part of the Stanley Cup Finals. Yeah. Yeah, so they
Speaker 1: were hanging out of Margharitaville and apparently they got into
Speaker 1: a little bit of an issue. So I have a
Speaker 1: couple of questions for you. Who at the Marghart Veterville
Speaker 1: is gonna like try to step to to like six
Speaker 1: ft fifty plus pound dudes? You and your boys JP,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you're in a frat
Speaker 1: or something, but like, would you and your boys just
Speaker 1: like step to the biggest guy out there? Is that
Speaker 1: something you would do? Try to take on the Ryan
Speaker 1: brothers at of Margharitaville. I mean, I know personally, mean know,
Speaker 1: but it's really awesome what happened there. It's awesome. You
Speaker 1: describe it as awesome. Can you please elaborate what was
Speaker 1: awesome about that? I don't know. It's just like the
Speaker 1: two guys that like to talk the most smack in
Speaker 1: the NFL just out there and doing it. Now. I
Speaker 1: have no idea how Rob Ryan continues to be continued
Speaker 1: to be a defensive coordinator. I think he outlasted his
Speaker 1: welcome based on just Buddy in the four six defense
Speaker 1: were about two years too long, but other reports and
Speaker 1: now I'm I'm sourcing Barstool Sports, so who knows. But
Speaker 1: apparently Rex Ryan also found the bachelorette party in Nashville
Speaker 1: where all the all the girls were wearing open toe sandals,
Speaker 1: and apparently he literally went over to them, winked at
Speaker 1: them and said, quote unquote, you know what I like?
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? JP? That's something else
Speaker 1: right there that is Oh my gosh, it is that
Speaker 1: absolutely is um my last question for you, JPS, we
Speaker 1: catch you up on all the fun that we had
Speaker 1: in Functional Sports Radio. Are you aware of the fact
Speaker 1: that China is building a amusement park based on Lionel
Speaker 1: Messi where they are trying to quote unquote experience the
Speaker 1: aura and intensity of Messy? How do you feel about that?
Speaker 1: I wasn't aware, but that's that's awesome. Do you think
Speaker 1: any athlete in America could have a theme park? Could
Speaker 1: like Lebron James have a theme park in Ohio right now? Oh?
Speaker 1: He could definitely do that, you think, so yeah? You really?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. You think Tom Brady
Speaker 1: could have a theme park in Massachusetts? And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with Lebron if I have to pick out of those,
Speaker 1: If one athlete could have a theme park right now,
Speaker 1: it would be Lebron, right. And it's funny because you
Speaker 1: don't even have to be the best in the world,
Speaker 1: because I think we're not. That's the best in the world.
Speaker 1: But I digress. That's what we did in the Fun
Speaker 1: and Functional Sports Radio this week on the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna check in on the
Speaker 1: scores around Major League Baseball. We're gonna check in on
Speaker 1: the poll, and we're gonna see up the Fantasy Black Book.
Speaker 1: Coming up next on the award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyleishop boy Dane Martinez speeds
Speaker 1: the spitting statistician, holding you down on a happy Hour
Speaker 1: Friday right now. If you're on the West Coast listening
Speaker 1: and you are stuck on the four oh five, I apologize,
Speaker 1: but I'm trying to, you know, make it a little
Speaker 1: bit better. Let's go around the league real quick. We
Speaker 1: are in the first inning, scoreless at Yankee Stadium, Orioles
Speaker 1: and Yanks scoreless in Atlanta at SunTrust. Don't worry, Someone's
Speaker 1: going to wait a home run to right center field. Tonight,
Speaker 1: the Rays are all over the Athletics top bottom of
Speaker 1: the second for nothing. Raised Stephen Susa with his eleventh
Speaker 1: home run of the season. Tigers up on the Red
Speaker 1: Sox after two to nothing. We are scoreless in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: That game has resumed. Remember the start was delayed, but
Speaker 1: they are going right now. Bottom of the fourth they
Speaker 1: are scoreless. There Ranges and Nationals one nothing, Texas after
Speaker 1: three and the Marlins all over the Pirates five one,
Speaker 1: middle of the third inning. Remember here before we go
Speaker 1: to the fantasy black book, remember your boys speeds. The
Speaker 1: spitting statistician gave you always dreaming for the Kentucky Derby,
Speaker 1: gave you the fourteen to one shot cloud computing for
Speaker 1: the Preakness Tomorrow at Queen's when no favorites are still
Speaker 1: left standing, I'm going with six to one. Choice Number
Speaker 1: two Horse Tapert. Okay, Tapert is a horse Todd plector
Speaker 1: to the trainer Jose Ortiz. This is a guy who
Speaker 1: ran in the Kentucky Derby, took the Preakness off five
Speaker 1: weeks off. That is better than the Irish war cry.
Speaker 1: Or looking at lee who have been going the whole time,
Speaker 1: although I do think those two favorites belong in your exotics.
Speaker 1: And as we close it out right now, on our
Speaker 1: poll question, we have who will be NBA Finals m
Speaker 1: v P. Ninety two percent of you say Kevin Durant,
Speaker 1: eight percent say the field. Shout out to my boys,
Speaker 1: Zach Sports with z thinking it is with multiple exclamation points,

Speaker 1: be the Fantasy Black Book. Joey Pisapilla, Maddie Modica. Listen, Matt,
Speaker 1: you know the Bills did not sign Sammy Watkins to
Speaker 1: that fifth year option. Za Jones has hurt and Jeremy
Speaker 1: Macklin left Buffalo without a contract. How do you feel
Speaker 1: about that? All in on Sammy Watkins though now all in,
Speaker 1: the targets are there, the talent is there, all in
Speaker 1: as though he was Jake Seey the all in kid.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see if they're still NBA games happening when
Speaker 1: I come back Monday. Dane Martinez Fantasy Freestyle and the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
