We'll get representing the hashtag stats over beat. 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.440 Cipher Um had a big show on Tuesday Live and 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.959 direct from Studio thirty four. We finished off the American 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.600 League Central. We're gonna start off the National League West 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.160 as a new division preview to get you ready for 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.480 the fantasy baseball season. Drafts are starting to get scheduled 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.199 as you're getting ready for fantasy baseball, so we'll getna 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:15.360 kick it off with the n L West preview. I'm 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.080 gonna give you a little bit of look into I 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.000 think we're gonna go into the arms of the NL 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.680 West right now, We're gonna start that off. Then we 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.280 go to the NFL. Listen to Combine is out there. 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.759 We preview the quarterbacks that I wanted to see at 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.400 the at the Combine. Want to see Lamar Jackson proves himself. 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.800 Want to see if Kyle Loletta can keep his hot 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.000 street going in terms of turning heads in this process. Um, 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:39.840 the Combine, you know gonna be kicking off this week. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.200 I don't know if you saw when Nelson the guard 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.360 out of Noted Dame putting up the bench press earlier 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:46.960 this week. He could be an option for some of 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.200 these top five teams shooting up the draft ward. I 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.919 know they don't want to usually draft a guard that early. 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.280 But the focus of our football conversation on this episode 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:59.720 of The Fantasy Freestyle is actually going to be once 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:02.720 again in about players safety and about head injuries. We 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.080 have as a special guest on the show a friend 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.440 of the Cipher Dilly Dilly. It is licensed certified trainer 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.760 UM Thomas Lowe. He is going to join us a 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.280 little bit later on in the show, and that's what 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.320 we're gonna be talking about when we get into the NFL. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.400 But um. We also got a pull question up as always, 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.480 and you could always find me at spit and Speeds 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.560 on Twitter, give me a follow, tell a friend to 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.320 tell a friend. They could be down with the hashtags. 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.960 STA's overbeat cipher listen. There was a lot of conversation. 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.079 We'll get into it. Also a little bit about them 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.600 redefining a catch. We've been talking about this a lot 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.840 in this offseason, the going to the ground part, that 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.400 sort of thing. There's a lot of attention on that. 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.440 But one of the things I find interesting is they 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.920 are talking about changes to the past interference role as well, 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.600 and I think this could be very very interesting. They're 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.640 talking about changing past interference dp I defensive fast interference 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.920 from a spot foul to a fifteen yard penalty. Okay, 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.200 And there are definitely sometimes in the game where I 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.200 love thrown ball deep downfield because what they say is 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:03.919 two out of the three things that can happen are good. 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:05.960 You know, you can get to catch or you can 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.519 get the penalty. And that works just the same for 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.280 the offense and may not work for your fantasy team. 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:10.720 But if they're taking that away and making it a 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.160 fifteen yard penalty, it could have an interesting impact on 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.480 some offenses. But I actually do think it's a good idea. 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.400 They do the same thing in college, and so that, 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.079 in fact is our pole question in this episode. Do 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:24.760 you think past interference down the field should be a 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.280 spot foul or a fifteen yard penalty? Holl Edge boy 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.200 at spitting speeds. Let me know, we got a lot 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.560 of people participating right now. Um So, but what I'm 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.640 gonna do is we're gonna switch it up because listen, 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.800 this is a down part of the football season, the 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:39.880 new league year. So we're gonna get it. We're gonna 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.960 push football to the back of this both sand Bow 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.200 Jackson episode, both Sanders. I had both Bernie Sanders on 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:48.600 my mind for some reason, but the Bow Jackson episode. 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.440 And we're gonna start with baseball. Okay, listen, right now, 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.840 pitches and catches of reported their spring training games going on. 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.600 The biggest free agents still out there. We've been talking 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.600 about this like lukewarm Stove, and now you know, spring 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.880 training is going and still, in my opinion, the biggest 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:08.440 name out there, Jake Arrietta still unsigned. Um boris client. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.440 You know, the Nats, the Phillies, the Brewers, all potentially 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.200 still in on Jake Arietta. Question for me is will 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.719 he eventually cave and take like a shorter deal. And 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.000 you know, I've been saying for years that there's no 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.359 reason that Pictures should be able to get a you know, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.320 six seven year deal the way how fragile they are. 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.240 So that's the that's the name to watch in my opinion. 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.480 But we're gonna do is. We're gonna go into the NLS. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:33.520 I told you we're gonna talk arms. We're gonna talk 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:35.880 arms of the n L wes. Excuse me, We're gonna 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.440 talk arms of the n O West and listen. Last year, 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.000 the Dodgers will obviously the class of this division. But 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.440 I think there's some interesting bounce back potential and some 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:49.760 interesting surprise potential in the arms here um in the NLS. 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.479 If you want to start though with the Dodgers, of 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.360 course you have cart saw check. But here's the thing. 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.480 When it comes to fantasy, you're either taking him in 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.160 the first round or you're not gonna have him right 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.000 And are you gonna be that person that drafts him? 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.000 What five WI we're all six overall? I I personally 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.800 wouldn't do it. I personally would rather these like one 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.960 A two tier starters. If I'm gonna go starters at 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.920 all heavy. But I'm not gonna have Kershaw on many 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.040 of my teams. But I understand, go ahead, go get him. 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.160 But here's the thing, like last year, last year, my 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.880 problem with the Dodgers rotation is last year they were 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.040 in essence doing a six man rotation. I was talking 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.000 about this last year. You know, what they did, to 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.560 be quite honest, was artfully managed the d L, and 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.040 they had guys that were often on the d L 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.800 like whoa, I'm talking Rich Hill, I'm talking you know hin, 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.680 John ryou Rias eventually went down and they're gonna do 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:37.479 that again, okay with Alex Wood. Alex Wood twenty five starts, 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:44.520 Rich Hill starts, tent starts, h John Yo starts. You know, 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.880 they're gonna have Bueller and Verdugo probably even maybe make 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:49.599 some starts this year. And I think they're gonna continue 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.560 to try and do this. No wonder they needed you Darvish, 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.120 you know, to try and eat innings. But they do 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.159 not have him coming back this year. So I don't 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:58.240 know that I liked him, because I don't know that 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.559 they're gonna be defendable year. They're good, and they're shield stats, 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.040 their strikeouts are there, you know what I'm saying. But 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.320 these guys are guys with a hundred thirty innings pitch, 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.200 things of that nature. You know, their low e r A. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.279 And you know even how Alex would was sick in 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.240 the in the in his hundred fifty two innings pitch. 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.040 But I'm just not I'm just not trusting those Dodgers 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.599 starters after Clayton Kershaw. And to be a quite honest, 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.800 I think it's going to be Dave downfall in the 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:22.480 playoffs if they don't augment that by you know, trading 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.720 from their depth, whether it be at outfield or elsewhere 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.920 in their offense. What I'm really interested in is uh, 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.440 out there in the bay, out there in the bay 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.240 with the Giants. I am very very intrigued. I'm gonna 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.120 tell you right now. You know, like hot take, get 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.000 ready to sweat some steam here in the Fantasy Freestyle 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.280 which voice speeds. Madison bum Gardner is my SI young 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.120 pick for the National League. Alright. I think he's coming 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.200 back off a down year. You know, you people always 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.719 forget about guys. You always just think it's you know 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.800 it's it's it's such short term memory, you know, it's 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:55.240 recentcy bias, and people are like, oh sures or oh 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:59.440 blah blah blah. You know. Um, I think that Madison 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.920 bump Gardner and Noah Synderguard are I too, dark horse 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.400 candidates right there for cy Young. Those are guys I'm 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.680 putting my shekels on. Okay, I think he's coming up 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.400 bounced back years, so I'm thinking he's rested. But more importantly, 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.440 the I love Masison Bumbgarder. He's an example of one 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.840 of these Tier two high two starters one A starters 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.600 that I would love to get a little bit later on, 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.640 except of the first round of Clayton Kershaw. But I 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.000 actually think the two most important pictures in this division 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:29.240 are Johnny Kuato and Jeffson margin If they are healthy 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:32.640 and solid like they have been with their strikeout rates 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.920 in that ballpark as twos and threes, along with the 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.920 offensive enhancements that this lineup has made, I think these 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.640 guys get are the Giants could be prying for a 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.400 bounce back season. In fact, I think they can milk 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.920 out whatever they can out of Longoria, out of McCutcheon, 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:52.760 out of Quato, you know, out of Posey again this year. 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.480 I like the giants moving forward. I think these two 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.320 are really two of the most important pictures in this division. 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.360 But I do like um I'm I would be willing 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.840 to take a shot with one or both of them 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:08.440 above their a DP in Arizona. I personally have never 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.680 been a fan of Zak Grinky. I have never been 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.080 a fan of Zack Grinky. Um, so he won't be 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.360 on any of my teams. But um, I am on 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.840 Robbie Ray. I was on Robbie Ray last year. I 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.800 was talking about him all last year's shot called by 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.000 the boy speech to fit and statistician. I'm talking about 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.080 a guy with a twelve point one strikeout per nine, Okay, um, 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.600 I'm talking about two fifty strikeout potential. Okay, I'm talking 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.959 about he had eleven point three strikeout for nine last year. 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.440 So this is consistent from a left handed pitcher. Okay. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.880 But the thing is, everybody's gonna be on him this year. 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.760 I was early with him last year. He's the kind 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.600 of guy you want to find the next this year's 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.120 version of this year, and I think it might be 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.640 Danny Salazar, But that's or James Paxton. But that's besides 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.840 the point. Okay. So I love Ray, but here's the 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:51.439 thing I would I would go to some of these 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.320 other guys. I like type one Walker. If he's healthy 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.720 off the foot, that's another he's only twenty five years old. 0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.840 That's another power arm right there. And it seems like 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.920 all these guys in Arizona between Grinky Ray Taiwan Walker, 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.520 like Zach Godly was stable last year, Patrick Corban, I 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.520 think these guys, these are streaming candidates. Godly and and 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.760 and Corby are high end streaming candidates to me. Okay, 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.839 Taiwan Walker is an interesting little risk reward play late 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.360 in the draft in my opinion. Okay, Um, but these 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.240 guys are power arms, and I like that out of Arizona. 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.560 But I think you know you're gonna, unfortunately, you're gonna 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.880 pref to overpay for Robbie Ray this year. Um. And 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.880 you know Zach Granky, he makes me anxious, so I 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.600 can't mess with him. But my, my, my, my surprise, 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.680 to be quite honest, of this division is in San Diego. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.000 In San Diego, and this is this is this is 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.680 where I want you people to listen. Okay, This is 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.120 where stats over beat cipher getting ready for your draft. 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.400 This is where I really I think it's really important. Okay, Um, 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.120 the San Diego Padres pitching staff is going to surprise 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:55.439 some people. Clayton Richard was incredibly solid for the first 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.360 three and a half months last season, Okay. And he 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.880 finished with a babbit against him a three fifty one. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.160 That is an outlier. Okay. He that that is going 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.400 to regress down to the mean and he's gonna, you know, 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.439 over be better for it. And he was solid last year. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.920 I think Clayton Richard is very interesting. Uh. Lament Dilson 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.400 Lament also very very interesting. I'm I'm talking about a 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:20.440 guy with a nearly eleven strikeout per nine innings, a 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.960 young kid that's still learning to develop, had a four 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.880 point two e r A okay, in only a hundred 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.800 fourteen innings. He's the cannon kind of candidate that can 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.920 get to one thirty five this year keep up his 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:34.160 power arms, uh, you know, trending and like, could he 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:37.240 be under four this year in that ballpark? I believe 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:42.359 it's possible. Um, in a division where um, the Diamondbacks 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.040 have a worse offense, uh than they did last year, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:49.000 you know, I mean, I think it's possible. Um and 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.600 Perdomo couldn't prose slightly. Also, and here's the thing. Watch 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.920 Tyson Ross also dark Horse, like diamond in the rough, 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.800 true diamond in the rough. Okay, he was almost he 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.400 was basically five hundred when he was when he was 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.400 a kid in two thousand fourteen, not even kid in 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.600 two thousand fifteen. A few years ago with the Padres, 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.280 he was an All Star one year. Okay, he averaged 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.520 a three e r A. He averaged like two d 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.360 and two strikeouts a year across like two two and 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.200 a half years with the Padres, and like when he 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.440 was on point. Maybe a return for him. And I 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.319 think that is very, very interesting, my surprise team. I'm 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.520 telling you San Diego Padres. I like Richard, I like Lament, 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.040 I like the potential of Tyson Ross. Yo, get some 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:29.680 bargain basement Padres. Because remember about this lineup also, I 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.240 mean that's this nothing line up the ballpark that they 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.199 are in, Okay, that's always something to consider people when 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.120 they are pitching half their games at home. Like part 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.439 of the reason you don't like the next team is 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:40.880 the Colorado Rockies. Where I think it is still the 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:45.240 worst pitching rotation in the n L West. You have 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.520 the you have John Gray, okay, power, fastball, straight off, 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:52.280 love it, but he's starting to become injury prone in 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.600 my opinion, so I don't. I don't trust him. See, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.120 the thing is with me. If I'm gonna invest in 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.720 drafting a starter, and that's and that's to be honest, 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.480 why and on a lot of my teams, I don't. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.000 I don't draft as many starters. I'm heavy on offense, 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.080 I truly am. I gotta tell you, I'm heavy on 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.199 offense when it comes to my drafts and my auctions 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.880 coming up. Okay, my strategy is never really to win 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:16.240 through the starting pitching because it's so flighty. It's so flighty. 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.720 These pictures are so injury prone. They are not making 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.560 the thirty starts a year you need from your horses 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.880 in order to win your leagues and win that cash. 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.120 It's just not happening. You know, you draft a third 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.559 round outfielder or third basement that guy is going to 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.800 play a hundred fifty games to you. You draft a 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.400 third round starting pitcher and have him be your sp 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.320 two and then he and then he goes down with 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.840 a with a pinch nerve in his elbow in May, 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:46.760 and that is much more likely, in my opinion, to 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.600 happen to the starting pitching position than any other position 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.600 in fantasy baseball. So I I stay away from it, 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.079 to be quite honest. Okay, but um, if I'm going 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.760 to invest in a starting pitching I'm not going to 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.000 invest in the starting pitch ye that plays half of 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.240 his games at coors Field. Okay, So John Great can 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:04.679 have his power for US ball, But the thing is, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.760 I don't know if he's gonna really have how much 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.040 more than a ten innings is he gonna be? You know? 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:13.120 The same way I said it about I think Dilson Lament, 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.040 you know, and those games instead of in San Diego 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.880 would be in course, So I'm not sure about that. 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.679 And the same thing about you know Tyler chat with 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.680 Tyler Anderson bettis these are guys with all four point 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.520 five year r A and remember that ballbark, So I 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.800 don't like them. When it comes to the arms, I'm 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.559 telling me my diamonds and the rough. I love these padres, 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.880 Tyson Ross, Dilson Lament. I like the arms in in 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.360 San Francisco as well in the Bay to two and three. 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.720 I like some margin maybe in Quato this year, if quato, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.720 if quato. If you're telling me Johnny Quato makes twenty 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:47.000 eight starts this year, and Madison Bumgardner does as well, 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.600 and some margin does as well. I'll show you a 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:55.080 Giant's team that is in contention in August with the 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.840 wherewithal to make a move. Okay, So those are also 0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.680 diamonds in the fu gazes for me and the arms 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.960 up telling you. I'm also I told you how Zac 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.280 Granky makes me anxious. The other part about this is 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.640 he's going into his age thirty four season. Okay. He 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.920 has thrown over a hundred and seventy innings in his 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.120 last and six of his last seven years. Okay, two 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.760 hundred and two winnings pitch last year. Okay, that is 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.680 a ballpark where the ball flies out. He's getting older. 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.360 To me, he's in the n L West Fantasy. Fool 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:24.720 Gazzy forgot about him. He makes me a little too anxious. 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.640 You know, don the jeweler knows what I'm talking about. 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.080 Those are some diamonds and fool gazes. What I'm gonna 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.560 do is I'm gonna give you my UM, I'm gonna 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:36.600 give you my predictions for the n L West. Um, 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.880 when we do it, you know, next week out there 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.800 and live in Studio thirty four, I will say this, 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:43.800 I do like the Dodgers. I do think the Padres 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.320 are in the back, but you know, going in the 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:49.840 right direction. And I I like the Giants. I gotta 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:51.480 say I do like the Giants. Will see how much 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:53.640 maybe next week when we holler at it, when we 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.480 continue our n L West preview. What I do want 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.520 to do is switch gears now, though, and get into 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:01.920 the NFL. Before we get into the NFL, though, I 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.200 gotta tell you real quick about our boys over at 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.640 d k M S.
