Speaker 1: lineups for DFS season long. It's here, Greggy. We've done it.

Speaker 1: An hour two we survived. Good, some reasons pay attention.
Speaker 1: There's nothing going on, yeah right, it doesn't start to
Speaker 1: one o'clock, right o'clock, so we're good. If you can.
Speaker 1: If I could pay attention somehow and host the basketball
Speaker 1: show during Maryland's and you don't on the tournament, you
Speaker 1: could probably survive one day of baseball, no excuses, play
Speaker 1: like a champion. Rule number seventy six. Are you doing,
Speaker 1: gregyd you sleep last night? It's some great last night?
Speaker 1: Real great? What's it early last night? Are we talking

Speaker 1: and baseball. I'm gonna get home, will be Is there

Speaker 1: think the latest game? So I can't get home and
Speaker 1: watch baseball like ten or anything. Yeah, Red Socks and Mirrors.
Speaker 1: That's probably an ESPN sure it is. Yeah, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: funny because okay, oh we had a line up um
Speaker 1: and the line up would that be? So look for
Speaker 1: what are you trying to find? Arson officially not in
Speaker 1: the today exactly what I told you it would be, Greggy.
Speaker 1: Damn it strong side of a platoon here for Ryan McMahon,
Speaker 1: who's starting and playing second base, batting seventh for the
Speaker 1: Rockies against Jose Urine. Yet is that news bad? Forget?
Speaker 1: I do want to kind of preface the beginning of
Speaker 1: this for anyone who's listening on demand, Gregg, I feel
Speaker 1: like we're gonna be talking a lot about swing on
Speaker 1: nd UP, coming out and stuff. So if you listen
Speaker 1: to this later on on demand, sorry, don't be alarmed.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking a lot about lineups today and
Speaker 1: DFS and speaking of DFS, speaking of that, Drew dick
Speaker 1: Meyer will join us twelve to go over to DFS
Speaker 1: stuff today from Major League Baseball. That's exciting. Yes, it
Speaker 1: is gonna get our guy Drew dink Meyer on the
Speaker 1: Skype machine talk about some DFS liners. I want to
Speaker 1: get his thoughts. Onefically this Bryce Harper and whether or
Speaker 1: not b VP bad averse Picture data matters greg and
Speaker 1: specifically when you have a large sample size. So I
Speaker 1: tweeted this out last night, Rice Harper against Huios Ron
Speaker 1: in his career is eighteen forty with eight home runs.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good, so he owns him. But then I
Speaker 1: had a few people also responding to me saying, oh,
Speaker 1: you know bad reverse picture data doesn't matter. Where do
Speaker 1: you have bad? It's a pretty big e samples. That's
Speaker 1: so we're here to ask you, dick Meyer. That's what
Speaker 1: I want to ask him about. We have another line up, Greg, Well,
Speaker 1: we have a lot. We have a lot, a lot
Speaker 1: of us and before we get into going over lineups,
Speaker 1: which we'll do, we'll break them down. I almost tweeted
Speaker 1: this out. I didn't want to tweet anyone. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to start anything. I wasn't I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: do that right, But Fantasy Twitter I have a lot
Speaker 1: of issues with because I think they love like Barry
Speaker 1: harrowitzing themselves right, patting themselves on the back, caring about
Speaker 1: things that just like don't matter, and all like the
Speaker 1: first guy that hits home run to day, we're not
Speaker 1: going to your page for one ship did you do? Now?
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, what are we doing here? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: So no one tweeted that out thankfully. But I saw
Speaker 1: as soon as like some shmow had I cannot wait
Speaker 1: for the guy that hits two home runs today and
Speaker 1: we no one knew about. And it was like Josh,
Speaker 1: like we all predicted show were showing the home runs.
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, we're Garcia is going to be
Speaker 1: the one. Larry Garcia. I feel like people talk about
Speaker 1: it every year. Sure Larry Garcia hits two of them runs,
Speaker 1: everyone's gonna freak out. Come right. So along those lines,
Speaker 1: people are tweeting out, oh my god, rydo Herns on
Speaker 1: the lineup, What am I gonna do? That's just someone
Speaker 1: someone we know very now he's no Worr, Like what
Speaker 1: are we? Like? Why are we playing? What's this? What's
Speaker 1: this guy's name? Just playing over Frank Frank Schwindel. Frank Schwindell.
Speaker 1: We got Frank Schwindel in the lineup today for Kansas City,
Speaker 1: batting fifth, playing first base, hundred dozers at third. We'll
Speaker 1: go over the lineups later. Because Frank Schwindel is on
Speaker 1: the line up against the lefty, fancy freaks out, freaks out.
Speaker 1: It's not just it's not just Frank, I got I guess,
Speaker 1: not just Florio it's Frank sweeting at stuff. Should shoot shoot?
Speaker 1: Oh no, what the pens? I didn't tweet that. It
Speaker 1: wasn't you. It was probably Florio again, probably was Florio.
Speaker 1: All I said was the line the Shields leading off
Speaker 1: against the lefty. That was fine. Let's see if if
Speaker 1: that s not an issue with that freaking I didn't
Speaker 1: have an issue with that one. He didn't freak out
Speaker 1: tweet the Shields leading off today against the left. I'm
Speaker 1: not freaking out of it. Didn't bother me. That tweet
Speaker 1: did not bother me, Frank. And you know I'll call
Speaker 1: you out of it if I think it does. And
Speaker 1: I have no problem bothering you either. And other tweets Frank.
Speaker 1: Other tweets that Frank had today pirates Ken Rosendal that
Speaker 1: said a man that chez broke his hand. So Frank
Speaker 1: making it clear, because we've gotten requests about like n
Speaker 1: L only leads and deeper leaves. Hey, melkre not gonna start.
Speaker 1: That's a helpful tweet. I think, thank you absolutely now.
Speaker 1: Now the tweet where it said where Laura Armstrong said, hey,
Speaker 1: Vladi Vladiviger ares gonn move quickly. He is gonna play
Speaker 1: games this weekend where Frank sweets quote lads coming dot
Speaker 1: dot dot. Heful like winter is coming, Greg, it was
Speaker 1: it was like the game that wasn't sooper helpful. I
Speaker 1: thought it was worth tweeting that because he's moving quicker
Speaker 1: than originally planned, and maybe he is coming dot dot dot.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he's back in the lineup in the major's
Speaker 1: closer to the timetable we thought originally helpful. And then
Speaker 1: the last people who got him in the last sweet
Speaker 1: dint from Frank that I'll call out is Ben Nicholson.
Speaker 1: Smith tweeted Rowdy tell Us and Hovey Gara making the
Speaker 1: opening day roster for the Blue Jays. So Frank thought
Speaker 1: it was important to tweet out Rowdy Roddy tell Us.
Speaker 1: His name is Rowdy, Greg. Come on, you can't make
Speaker 1: this stuff up. You just thought a picture of his
Speaker 1: face too, okay, will eat your entire family that his
Speaker 1: big boy. His picture is not great. We should talk
Speaker 1: about that great. We should talk about the Kendricks Morales
Speaker 1: Street and the fallout, the implications Fantasy sure Injie Morales
Speaker 1: last night, that the Twitter World ablaze, Gay Fantasy Baseball
Speaker 1: tw World World Ablaze, Andry Morales shipped over to Oakland.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's gonna fill in at first base
Speaker 1: while Matt Olsen is dealing with this injury. I have
Speaker 1: a few shares of Kendrick's morales I have him in
Speaker 1: the main event, we have him in GST. I don't
Speaker 1: really love this move for him because I thought he
Speaker 1: was gonna play every day with the Blue Jays. He
Speaker 1: should play every day now with Oakland. But it's a
Speaker 1: negative park shift. Once matt Olsen is back, you know,
Speaker 1: is Kendrick's moralese really gonna play? So I don't really
Speaker 1: love this move for him, but it's really the fallout
Speaker 1: for everything else again. Rowdy Tellez. A lot of people
Speaker 1: excited about Big Boy. He's got some power, he's got
Speaker 1: some late disciplined where you know he'll walk a decent amount.
Speaker 1: So if you have an O, B, P or points
Speaker 1: leagues deeper leagues. He made the roster. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna be the every day d H. I'll see what
Speaker 1: happens once Vladimir Guerrero was called up for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: Also gonna give more opportunities to guys like Tioscar Hernandez
Speaker 1: and Billy McKinney. So there was a decent amount of
Speaker 1: fallout from the oakland A's side of things. People were
Speaker 1: excited about Chad Pinder greg because they thought he was
Speaker 1: gonna go to play every day and slide jerks and
Speaker 1: Profile over to first base and maybe we see Marcanna
Speaker 1: against lefties, but it was like Profiles still gonna play
Speaker 1: mostly against um at second base most of the time.
Speaker 1: They signed him for a reason, and then Chad Pinder,
Speaker 1: maybe they get him in the outfield against left handed pitching,
Speaker 1: but today they're facing a righty and what do you know,
Speaker 1: Robbie Grossman leading off for the Oaklany's like they said
Speaker 1: they were going to do. Honestly from Rocobella Deli, I
Speaker 1: kind of like that before we get into these lineups,
Speaker 1: like full stop and will do it. Bob Melvin, all right,
Speaker 1: Robbie rock Is That's what I meant? Mob Melbourne, I
Speaker 1: got I got a little confused there, And there's nopody
Speaker 1: opening day. You can understand that. Um, speaking of opening Day,
Speaker 1: these teams have to be better. It's very frustrating. You
Speaker 1: can tweeting out a lot. Floria's tweeted out a lot.
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of text from my whole league,
Speaker 1: my friends, and my colleagues. When we know players are
Speaker 1: on the d L. What would I do checking a
Speaker 1: hand him? All Right? You, okay, we know players are
Speaker 1: going on the d L, and they're going to be
Speaker 1: on the DL, like Tommy John. We're like torn a
Speaker 1: c L or something, or shoulder injury. Whatever. They're not
Speaker 1: like may start the season, may not. Oh Tanny d
Speaker 1: D Polanco, stuff like that. We gotta get him d
Speaker 1: L the site, Yahoo, ESPN, CBS, n f PC. But
Speaker 1: the guys gotta get themselves. I have Kyle Tucker in
Speaker 1: minor league spots and now they have the M crossed out?
Speaker 1: Did I miss something? Did he make the opening day roster? Actually,
Speaker 1: don't find any news on it either. To my knowledge,
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker was not breaking camp with the Houston Ash.
Speaker 1: That is my knowledge as well. And there's a slash
Speaker 1: going through the M, which means he's not eligible for
Speaker 1: the minor league spot, which means that he's on the
Speaker 1: opening day roster unless I missed something, Greg and I
Speaker 1: can't find any news about this. He's probably add Kyle
Speaker 1: Tucker just in case, But uh yeah, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what's going on here with with Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 1: I guess he. I can't see any announcements Astros official roster,
Speaker 1: that's what That's what I'm waiting on. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: couldn't agree more. I just got Gregory Polanco I L
Speaker 1: eligible in the league. So that's good. They're finally there's
Speaker 1: trying to move along here. I got to settle these
Speaker 1: lineups before one o'clock. Now I should're talking on the mike.
Speaker 1: You're talking off like there. Sorry, Yeah, well I'll be
Speaker 1: able to hear you. Gregory Planco was officially on the
Speaker 1: I L, and that is one that has worked out.
Speaker 1: So I placed him on the I L. And now
Speaker 1: I gotta figure out what to do with Kyle Tucker
Speaker 1: because I don't know if he's in the lineup or
Speaker 1: not on the roster REP probably not man to line up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's annoying. I don't see why he would make the
Speaker 1: Houston Astros and not be the line up. Put him
Speaker 1: in Triple Labor. He can play every d yah know,
Speaker 1: I get I get it. Yeah, I'm waiting we go
Speaker 1: over all these lineups just very very frustrating and all
Speaker 1: honesty that people that are on the d L not
Speaker 1: the DM are miners, not in the minors. These webisodes
Speaker 1: that have to just be better. That's what I like.
Speaker 1: What time is the Astros game play four? The Rays
Speaker 1: have already released their laeoup keeping everything a secret, already
Speaker 1: released the going to play or not? So let's not,
Speaker 1: you know, release our lineup. Come on, guys, it's opening day.
Speaker 1: You've had all all seasons to think about. Can we
Speaker 1: get your lineup? Please? At be frustrated. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be frustrated on opening day when I have a
Speaker 1: good time. I do too. You were Why don't you?
Speaker 1: Why do you be your jersey man? Why don't you
Speaker 1: show everyone you do? You want to stand up and
Speaker 1: give a fashion show? Yes, Ryce Harper, I mean you
Speaker 1: were er and baseball pizzer and judge and move the
Speaker 1: camerap so we can see it. There you go, alright,
Speaker 1: so showed off. You don't need the headphones that Bryce
Speaker 1: Harford brand new powder blue Photodelphia Phillies jersey with the
Speaker 1: red as well looks very nice. Frank walked in and
Speaker 1: the entire control them. I will say this, the entire
Speaker 1: pit downstairs, like Alex Cool. Everybody said that, right, yes,
Speaker 1: it was great. It's it's rare the pit will agree
Speaker 1: on something unanimously and kind of be in favor of,
Speaker 1: like being nice to someone. It happened, Mabe you happy
Speaker 1: for me? Greg, I don't think. I don't think Kendricks
Speaker 1: Moralese is gonna be in the line. I said that
Speaker 1: he wanted. I know he is, like, what, this isn't
Speaker 1: a surprise, dude, I'm just making sure Tad Pinder is
Speaker 1: in the line. If you want to go over any
Speaker 1: of these lineups, you want to start going over the
Speaker 1: line ups. I was gonna wait till till drew out here,
Speaker 1: but I guess we could start if you want. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we should start, and then that that will
Speaker 1: kind of be like a setup going into the Oh good.
Speaker 1: Mac Williams was DF an other guy that Greg didn't
Speaker 1: want perfect all right, the Nets and the Nationals. That's
Speaker 1: your biggest problem today, Greg, I think you'll be all right.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's fantasy Twitter, right, It's fantasy Twitter. Mac
Speaker 1: Williams tweet about it, then I'm not going to. I
Speaker 1: don't do that. Well. You can't be about it and
Speaker 1: not be about it. You can't complain about it on
Speaker 1: the show. I disagree. This is my platform to complain
Speaker 1: about things. It seems a little hypocrite. How is it hpocritical?
Speaker 1: He just made fun of other for freaking out about
Speaker 1: Ryan O'Hearn. I'm not freaking out about mac will's William Ason.
Speaker 1: We could never draft the mcclation last draft pick. We
Speaker 1: could drop him, Greg, it's fine, could drove Alex Wood.
Speaker 1: That's not up to me. No, probably not. Why it's
Speaker 1: only opening day. You can't be this reactionary, Greg enough,
Speaker 1: I mean, have an inch trigger. Figure out what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna drop somebody today. I guarantee that. All right, the
Speaker 1: Mets and the Nationals one oh five. The big story
Speaker 1: coming out of this game is the lot with Brandon
Speaker 1: Nimo leading off, followed by Pete Alonso batting second, Robins
Speaker 1: can know third, Michael conford o fourth, Willie Ramos is
Speaker 1: batting fifth, Jeff McNeil playing third and matting six, Under
Speaker 1: Razario seventh, one, Legars eighth to Graham batting nine. What's
Speaker 1: the Nats line up, Frank? The Nationals lineup? We have
Speaker 1: Adam Eaton leading off, Trade Turner betting second, Anthony Rendon,
Speaker 1: your National League m VP of matting third, Juan Soto
Speaker 1: clean up, Ryan Zimmerman betting fifth, Yon going sixth, Brian
Speaker 1: Dojer all the way down at seven, Max sers Or eight,
Speaker 1: and Victor Roblos at nine. So you get a little
Speaker 1: dual leadoff action between Victor Roeblas and Adam Eaton. This
Speaker 1: is kind of what we suspected from Victor Roeboys and
Speaker 1: the Nationals. Unfortunately, you know he's gonna bat this loan
Speaker 1: in the lineup, but they're trying to get that that
Speaker 1: that dual lead off Victor Robots and Adam Eaton. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I wish Trade Turner was leading off as well. Spoke
Speaker 1: about that with Mike the rotal cop the other day.
Speaker 1: Trade Turner once more apt to steal bases when he's
Speaker 1: leading off versus when he's batting second. We'll see how
Speaker 1: long time Adam Eaton could stay healthy, because I think
Speaker 1: if anything happens to them, we probably see Trade Turner
Speaker 1: first and then Victor Robos at two. Understandably so, and
Speaker 1: we hope I don't want to hope for injuries, but
Speaker 1: I hope Robots will play his way towards the top
Speaker 1: of the lineup. Um, of course, the old school, let's
Speaker 1: turn this line up over thing. Um, it's annoying for
Speaker 1: Roblays is Fantasy owners that includes us, Frankie, but hopefully
Speaker 1: it was some steels today and and a couple of times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we have a few shares of Victor Roeboays and I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people are excited about him. My
Speaker 1: dad had him as the National League Rookie of the years.
Speaker 1: A lot of excitement over Victor Robots, and rightfully so.
Speaker 1: For the other New York team's Yankees, they also go
Speaker 1: I want to clock to day with Gardener leading off,
Speaker 1: all by Aaron Judge, Jian Carlos, Stanton, Luke, Voit Yale
Speaker 1: and do har Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, Glabor Torres betting eighth,
Speaker 1: Troy to Lewitsky ninth. Not dissimilar from the line up
Speaker 1: we expected, Frank When it comes to the Yankees, what's
Speaker 1: the Oriels tech going on? You give me the Orioles? Why?
Speaker 1: Thank you, Greggy. We have Cedric Mullin's leading off, Dwite
Speaker 1: Smith Junior batting second, Jonathan v Are very surprising batting third.
Speaker 1: I knew you would be at the top, but really third,
Speaker 1: free Mancini clean up, real ru ruise five do we
Speaker 1: record six? Chris Davis sevenths to create eight. Ritchie Martin,
Speaker 1: I have to be confused with Ricky living long Vida
Speaker 1: locum um. I'm guessing massa Hero Talk is gonna be
Speaker 1: very popular and well. Last Drew dick Meyer about that.

Speaker 1: on our show for some reason? Weekdays, four pm Eastern,
Speaker 1: one pm Pacific only on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Back with you, Fantasy best Friends Forever, Fantasy Sports radiing
Speaker 1: a network. It's funny, you know. I listened a lot
Speaker 1: of times when we're doing work, I was creating them
Speaker 1: and he run down this morning, and a lot of
Speaker 1: times I'm listening to music. I was leaving the third
Speaker 1: eye line this morning at all. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: normally listen to the third eyeline a lot on brand,
Speaker 1: so I know it's definitely part of the brand. A
Speaker 1: lot of times though, a lot of times I listened
Speaker 1: to um music of today, But for whatever reason, there
Speaker 1: was a third eye blind mood. I wasn't a third
Speaker 1: eye blind today, and there was today blind. It was weird, Drew,
Speaker 1: What are you? Are you a big third eyeline guy.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big third eye blond guy. I'm not
Speaker 1: a big music guy. Hold on one second, guys, because
Speaker 1: I'm having some audio is shoes? All right, We'll hold
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's get another lineup? Why why we're holding
Speaker 1: for we just got the clubs lineup. Oh, let's go.
Speaker 1: I'm going to order. I don't need the comes yet.
Speaker 1: We're going to what o'clock game and see Cardinals and
Speaker 1: the Brew Crew. Miles Micholas two o'clock to ten. You're right,
Speaker 1: only two one o'clock games. They're both New York Studio teams,
Speaker 1: Sunior York Teams. All right, Cardinals and Brew Crew Miles Michoelas,
Speaker 1: Joli Sha seen Matt Carpenter leading off for the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: followed by Paul GOLDSCHMP Paul the Young batting third. For
Speaker 1: you the young heads out there, that's for good. Marcello's
Speaker 1: un about four, they like that. Yadier Molina about the fifth,
Speaker 1: Dexter Fowler in the starting lineup, batting six, Colton Wong seventh,
Speaker 1: Harrison Battery, Miles Michelas ninth, which means bad news for you,
Speaker 1: Tyler o'meal fans out there. Meal not in the lineup.
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that if he was facing a
Speaker 1: lefty here, he probably would be in. Not a big
Speaker 1: fan of Dexter Fowler. Will see how long that lasts.
Speaker 1: But on the Brewer's side of things, we have Lorenzo Kine,
Speaker 1: Christian Yellow, Ryan Brown banning third, Travis Shaw, He's us Agilar,
Speaker 1: Mike Mustock is, Monty Grandal, or Lando Arcia and Julie's
Speaker 1: Chasin kind of surprised to see Uhler all the way
Speaker 1: down at five has agular at Hayes's Aguilar at five.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's all that surprised, to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, like you knew one to you knew one
Speaker 1: and too. You knew Travis Shall would be up there
Speaker 1: as well. Maybe the old Vet Bron asked me three, right,
Speaker 1: Maybe you flip flop Aguilar and Travis Shaw. But it
Speaker 1: kind of is what it is. A six. Yes, Monty
Speaker 1: Grandell at seven are bad at third. For most of
Speaker 1: last season, we knew the Brewer's lineup was awesome. It's good.
Speaker 1: The only deficiency might be or Lando or Seal. It's
Speaker 1: if you can bounce back again. Sure at four top
Speaker 1: prospect there. I made some lofty comparisons and last offseason
Speaker 1: saying his minor league profile reminded me a lot of
Speaker 1: lind Or did not take that set. He did not.
Speaker 1: It happens quite the other way. You know, he's doing
Speaker 1: a fantasy Twitter Greg, there was a huge blow up
Speaker 1: about Fernando Tatisis or did you see any of that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think you told me that we
Speaker 1: had some Twitter beef. Crazy people were freaking out about
Speaker 1: the projection systems for Fernando Tati don't like it. Have
Speaker 1: you ever watched a baseball game in your life? God?
Speaker 1: Some of those hate m Um, it's Drew Drew. Are
Speaker 1: you ready, Sarah. I'm good, You're good. I'm back. You're ready,
Speaker 1: I'm back. I'm good. How's it going, Drew? You said
Speaker 1: you're not You're not a music guy. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you had to choose one genre or artist, what are
Speaker 1: you going with? What's what's the Drew dankmar go to.
Speaker 1: I literally have no music downloaded on my phone. I
Speaker 1: don't own any music anywhere. I'm literally not a music guy. Alright,
Speaker 1: So the opposite of Greg, because Greg's always, you know,
Speaker 1: down in the control room. You got headphones on jamming. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's working. You gotta run down today for me. I
Speaker 1: was working on that all morning and we're gonna FanDuel
Speaker 1: run down as well. Thank you to be working. I
Speaker 1: concentrate music on anyway. I want to concentrate and make
Speaker 1: a DFS lad for today. Drew. I said this on
Speaker 1: the show yesterday, and that was last baseball season. I
Speaker 1: played DFS twice all season, one of them opening day
Speaker 1: at opening Day, I think we talked to you. I
Speaker 1: won money, I felt great. Day two, I played a
Speaker 1: DFS baseball I lost money. That was it. I didn't
Speaker 1: play anymore the rest of the season. So I want
Speaker 1: to play today. I want to get off on the
Speaker 1: right foot. I'm going to play a fifty fifty today.
Speaker 1: So I really could use your help on where to start. Sure,
Speaker 1: So the first part of that, identifying what kind of
Speaker 1: game you're playing is the very first way to approach
Speaker 1: any MLB DFS uh slate, because the way you play
Speaker 1: MLB DFS is so different between tournaments and cash games,
Speaker 1: because there's so much failure in MLB. You know, players
Speaker 1: are failing so often, and we have these range of
Speaker 1: outcome projections, and so for hitters, literally every hitter in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, including Mike Trout against the worst pitcher
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, has a tenth percentile range of
Speaker 1: outcome of zero points. It just happens so frequently that
Speaker 1: players go over four, over three, over five, whatever it is.
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a it's a sport that is
Speaker 1: rooted in failure, and as a result, you need to
Speaker 1: approach the different types of game types very differently. But
Speaker 1: in cash games you always start with For me, you
Speaker 1: I start with your picture selection. In tournaments, I always
Speaker 1: start with the bats. What bats do I really want
Speaker 1: to get in terms of a stack in my lineup?
Speaker 1: But with with cash games of fifty fifties, you start
Speaker 1: with the pictures. And on this slate, I really think
Speaker 1: you start today with Justin Burlander. Um. The matchup with
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Ray is a team that projects for
Speaker 1: a lot of strikeouts, is very DFS friendly. The park
Speaker 1: is obviously a very good one for pitchers in general,
Speaker 1: pitching in the trop and you know, Verlander is arguably
Speaker 1: the most skilled pitcher on the slate. There's obviously, depending
Speaker 1: on what slate you're playing, depending on what side you're playing,
Speaker 1: there's sures are too grown, there's you know, sale if
Speaker 1: you're playing all day slates. But Verlanders just as talented
Speaker 1: as those guys, and he's got arguably the best matchup
Speaker 1: a right perfectly Justin Verlanders in my lineup. That was
Speaker 1: the catcher slash first base spot. July. I know, trying
Speaker 1: to eliminate the catcher here, Greg make make life a
Speaker 1: little bit easier for for DFS players over on FanDuel.
Speaker 1: You have a two part question. You're filling on my lineup?
Speaker 1: What do you go? All right, go ahead, Greg, I'll
Speaker 1: take it. You know, I'll take this off. I'll you know,
Speaker 1: I'll go find something. I don't care. I'm going to
Speaker 1: win money. Thanks to Drew, you don't have to catch
Speaker 1: a first base. I'm starting off my mic, but it's great.
Speaker 1: So at first base, my idea was was Luke voit
Speaker 1: Is that a good idea? He's he's one of the
Speaker 1: top i'd say five. I'm looking at our protections now,
Speaker 1: one of the top five or so values between the
Speaker 1: two positions. Um, we like going potentially a little bit
Speaker 1: cheaper here, but boit is certainly in the mix. I
Speaker 1: would say is in general on this slate, on you
Speaker 1: know Vandel's main slate, which concludes all the games except
Speaker 1: the night game. Um, you have a lot of intrigue
Speaker 1: in the Yankees and in the Cups. Those are the
Speaker 1: two offenses that you're most likely going to want to
Speaker 1: target from a cash game perspective. These are the offenses
Speaker 1: that have implied totals over five. So I think when
Speaker 1: you talk about catcher and first base, you've got a
Speaker 1: lot of options from both teams. There, you've got on
Speaker 1: the cheaper side of things, you've got Greg Bird hitting
Speaker 1: lower in the lineup for the Yankees. You've got Wilson Contreres,
Speaker 1: who the Cubs lineup just came out. He's hitting fifth,
Speaker 1: which is a great lineup spot with the platoon edge.
Speaker 1: In Texas, you've got Luke Voyd hitting cleanup, which is
Speaker 1: a great lineup spot. Gary Sanchez down to sixth, but
Speaker 1: still a very skilled hitter. I would think you would
Speaker 1: want one of the players from those two games. The
Speaker 1: only exception I would say is maybe Justin Smoke could
Speaker 1: kind of sneak into the conversation as well. But you
Speaker 1: can choose one of the guys from from those two games.
Speaker 1: Is where I had started catch our first base? Okay,
Speaker 1: fair enough? Perfect? Do you want? Can you have a
Speaker 1: question for Drew? Let's go to my second basement? Then alright? Cool? Alright?
Speaker 1: At second base? Sure, let's keep it going. Maybe so
Speaker 1: at second base, I think the slate looks like, you know,
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of expensive second base options to
Speaker 1: really choose from. Um Wit Marrifield is the most expensive.
Speaker 1: He's going to be in a tough position. This year
Speaker 1: because why he's while he's going to be very good
Speaker 1: for you know, season long rotisserie baseball leagues because of
Speaker 1: his speed. He's gonna be a difficult play in DFS
Speaker 1: if he's priced up consistently, because the Royals are going
Speaker 1: to be a team that you're not going to be
Speaker 1: super excited to play guys from most days. So I
Speaker 1: think second base is a position to get some salady relief.
Speaker 1: Um Adam Fraser is a guy that stands out for
Speaker 1: us lead off on the road in Cincinnati. A great park,
Speaker 1: a big park upgrade for Pittsburgh. He usually plays in
Speaker 1: a park that really really takes a hit on you know,
Speaker 1: power and offense on the whole. We think he's really affordable.
Speaker 1: We also think Rockneto Door hitting second for Texas, even
Speaker 1: though it's left on left. We just love the upside
Speaker 1: of over door, the power speed combination hitting second in Arlington.
Speaker 1: We're not too afraid of John Lesser, who showed some
Speaker 1: deterioration and skills last year. Those guys look like the
Speaker 1: clear decision for for us at second base. By the way,
Speaker 1: I just thought, well, no, a little pause, Frankie, what's up? Hello,
Speaker 1: what's up? My Man, Wilmar Flores and third in the lineup.
Speaker 1: It's not a good lineup anymore. I was looking at
Speaker 1: the dime decks line is awful. It's very Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's just call jump back in here. I'm not a
Speaker 1: big Chris Bryant guy, but I think, you know, if
Speaker 1: there was ever a lock of the day, I think
Speaker 1: it's Chris Bryant batting second here against Mike Minor again
Speaker 1: in Texas. The ball could fly out there. The third
Speaker 1: base position is anything else you like there, Drew, I
Speaker 1: think he's really the top play thirty one. He's definitely
Speaker 1: the top play. The one thing that I'll note is
Speaker 1: just in baseball, because guys fail so often, you can
Speaker 1: always make a case in an argument to get away
Speaker 1: from anyone play. He is clearly our top value at
Speaker 1: third base, though, and if I was playing a cash
Speaker 1: game line up, I would certainly start with him. I'd
Speaker 1: want exposure if I'm building cash game lineups to you know,
Speaker 1: my higher the higher end versions of the Cubs and
Speaker 1: the Yankees where I can get them. Obviously, if you're
Speaker 1: building through someone like Justin Verland or it's going to
Speaker 1: be a little bit more difficult to do so, but
Speaker 1: he is of the top priced bats on this late um,
Speaker 1: he's one of the more affordable ones because he's below
Speaker 1: four thousand, all right, So there, so there you go.
Speaker 1: That's Chris. It's Chris Bryant four thousand dollars at thirty
Speaker 1: eight hundred dollars, I will move all over to the shortstop.
Speaker 1: We don't save some money at some point, how do
Speaker 1: we do that. There's a lot of cheap outfielders perfect, so,
Speaker 1: so outfield is a place you can definitely save some
Speaker 1: money if you wanted to save money at shortstop. I
Speaker 1: think Elvis Andrews would probably be the best guy. He's
Speaker 1: hitting third undred and he is a guy that is
Speaker 1: willing to run, and that's important when you're trying to
Speaker 1: capitalize on upside versus John luster It makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense, especially against John Lester, because we know he
Speaker 1: can't hold anyone on correct, so you know you can
Speaker 1: get some stolen bases there. Drew's it's is it safe
Speaker 1: to say? And I feel like you touched on this
Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. It's just a lot of Yankees
Speaker 1: today try and get as many kids rangers in that
Speaker 1: range and then maybe sprinkling some Blue Jays because they're
Speaker 1: going up against Jordan Zimmerman. Yeah, for cash games, I
Speaker 1: think that's the right approach for tournaments. You know, base again,
Speaker 1: baseball's a sport where you fail a lot, so you
Speaker 1: want to you want to consider what kind of ownership
Speaker 1: teams are going to carry on a day to day basis,
Speaker 1: and I would expect the Yankees and Cubs two teams
Speaker 1: that have public fan bases, huge fan bases. On opening day,
Speaker 1: they have the two best offensive implied totals on the slate,
Speaker 1: they're going to be very popular. And so in tournaments,
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you you naturally want to make
Speaker 1: sure you're being different when you're approaching them. Now, if
Speaker 1: you're going to play them, you can still play them,
Speaker 1: just be different at like starting pitcher, be different at
Speaker 1: some of the one off players. Maybe don't play Yankees
Speaker 1: and Cubs together. Maybe stack them with a second team
Speaker 1: that's different. Um And obviously, on a slate at this
Speaker 1: big with fourteen games on it, you have plenty of
Speaker 1: options to choose from, and plenty of other good offenses.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Blue Jays, they're one that we think
Speaker 1: is in a really good spot TODA against Jordan Zimmerman.
Speaker 1: We also think the Phillies are in a pretty good
Speaker 1: spot against Wilio Tehran, and we think they'll go very
Speaker 1: low owned. Guys like Bryce Harper, Reese Hoskins, Uh, Andrew
Speaker 1: McCutcheon will probably all come in with very really low
Speaker 1: ownership as every but he focuses on the Yankees, the Cubs,
Speaker 1: guys like Mike trout Um. So I think you always
Speaker 1: in tournaments want to be different than the field, and
Speaker 1: there's certainly opportunities to do that, honestly, where it looks
Speaker 1: like the plays are are so obvious to build for
Speaker 1: cash games. I'm so happy you brought up Bryce Harper
Speaker 1: because I'm obviously wearing his jersey. I wanted to get
Speaker 1: your thoughts all my jersey. What do you think of it? Look?
Speaker 1: I love I love the I love all powder blue
Speaker 1: jerseys in general, like I love that color concept. So
Speaker 1: I'm in on those old school Phillies jerseys. That's fair,
Speaker 1: I will take that. I was also looking into getting
Speaker 1: the powder blue Vladimir Guerrero exposed jerseys, so I might
Speaker 1: get that Guerrero Senior, that is, I might look into
Speaker 1: getting that. But I wanted to ask you about Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper and specifically batter verse picture data, because I tweeted
Speaker 1: this out last night that in Bryce Harper's career, he's
Speaker 1: homeward three out of the last four opening days. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not really relevant, that's more of like a narrative thing.
Speaker 1: But against Juyo tehrant he's eight teen for forty in
Speaker 1: his career and he has eight home runs normally that
Speaker 1: badder verse picture data, like you'll see alright, ten twelve
Speaker 1: that bets where do you have bets? That's a pretty
Speaker 1: big sample size. Was I in the right mind thinking that, Okay,
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper has owned Julio Torranti is in a good
Speaker 1: spot obviously playing in Philly today because you know, I
Speaker 1: got some I got a little bit of a backlash
Speaker 1: year on Twitter last night. Batter verse picture data. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So all the maths says, the big wide scale studies
Speaker 1: that you do on batter verse picture is what it
Speaker 1: says is that if you look at the sample as
Speaker 1: a whole, that it's not predictive, meaning the results that
Speaker 1: have happened in the past are not predictive of what
Speaker 1: will happen in the future. You will often see guys
Speaker 1: who are like one for sixteen versus someone and then
Speaker 1: have a really good day. Um, you'll see guys who
Speaker 1: have these great numbers against other pictures and they'll have
Speaker 1: a really bad day. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist
Speaker 1: in the sense that it didn't happen, or there might
Speaker 1: not be an effect where a batter literally does have
Speaker 1: something on a picture that they see the ball perfectly
Speaker 1: out of his hands and they just know what's coming. Um,
Speaker 1: I know Paul Goldschman had some insane numbers against Tim
Speaker 1: Linscomb even when Lindscomb was like dominant for yours. So there,
Speaker 1: it's not to say that it's not real and that
Speaker 1: it doesn't exist. It's to say that when we do
Speaker 1: wholesale looks at the population of batter verse picture stuff,
Speaker 1: there shows no predictive value, and so we don't consider
Speaker 1: it as predictive. And so there's a lot of arguments
Speaker 1: on Twitter that the stuff goes into because as a math,
Speaker 1: guys get really particular about it. The guys who like
Speaker 1: played the game really think like, oh, no, I definitely
Speaker 1: saw you know something from from this guy, and I
Speaker 1: knew i'd hit him better, and so like you get
Speaker 1: into these like petty kind of arguments. But what I
Speaker 1: would say with regards to Bryce Harper is without knowing
Speaker 1: anything about his individual history against Julio Tehran, I know
Speaker 1: that Julio Tehran really struggles to get left handed batters out,
Speaker 1: especially left handed batters with big power. And I know
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper kills right handed pitching, so like it makes
Speaker 1: sense that he'd have really good numbers against Julio Tayran.
Speaker 1: Perhaps they're outsized and it's something that he sees differently.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't say that it has predicted value to it um,
Speaker 1: but it's certainly something that has happened, and it could
Speaker 1: be something that plays a factor. We just wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: The samples are so small, even if it feels like
Speaker 1: it's big because it's relative to other like ten at
Speaker 1: bad samples, it's really it's still really small on the
Speaker 1: scale of MLB samples in general. I appreciate that from
Speaker 1: Drew because he kind of started off that answer saying, well,
Speaker 1: you know, Frank, you're pretty by much wrong about bad
Speaker 1: a verse pitch of data. But then he brought it
Speaker 1: back and he's like, well, Bryce Harper is a really
Speaker 1: good play today because he's going up against Leo Toron,
Speaker 1: So I appreciate that, Drew. So we're talking to Ji
Speaker 1: jig Meyer Daily Rider dot com, actually on Daily Rod
Speaker 1: dot com right now. I think he used promo code
Speaker 1: fmc s Y. You get tempercent off um on the
Speaker 1: MLB Premium package, and I'm in it right now. And
Speaker 1: some of these names there are chief outfielders on here,
Speaker 1: right Gardner, Delano to Shields come to mind, Greggy, say
Speaker 1: it again, Say it again, Brett Gardner, Delano, just shields
Speaker 1: come to mind, Shields. Let's go. De Leonard The Shields
Speaker 1: is my my daily fantasy nemesis. That guy stinks, so
Speaker 1: we will do he will. I am convinced that he
Speaker 1: believes that whenever there's a guy on first, it's an
Speaker 1: automatic bun spot farm because it's a free chance at
Speaker 1: batting average. Like, I'm convinced that he does this, and
Speaker 1: he just gives away at bats for no reason whatsoever,
Speaker 1: because he's like, oh, if I get out, they'll just
Speaker 1: rule it a sacrifice. I loathe that guy in DFS.
Speaker 1: He weighs so many plate appearances with what I think
Speaker 1: is stat padding or stat hunting for himself. Um, So
Speaker 1: I am he projects well because he's a leadoff hitter
Speaker 1: in Texas, and he's got the platoon edge and he
Speaker 1: runs and Lester's not hard to run on. He's really cheap,
Speaker 1: but he is not my cup of tea. Brett Gardner,
Speaker 1: I'm good with Randall Gritchick is another cheap guy. Tiascar
Speaker 1: Hernandez the cheaper end of the Blue Jays guys. I
Speaker 1: think those guys are good. I would play those guys
Speaker 1: over Delonoo Shields personally real quick. Through Delino the Shields
Speaker 1: versus Albert al Almira Jr. They're both going up against
Speaker 1: each other's tapic, both leading off with their respective teams,
Speaker 1: both or less. I know you don't like the Lino,
Speaker 1: but do you like him more than Albert alma I
Speaker 1: do like him a little bit more than Albert Almoira.
Speaker 1: The big difference is, you know, historically there's more pinch
Speaker 1: hit risk for Albert Elmira, but uh, and so that's
Speaker 1: factored into our math. But on Antlee, I feel like
Speaker 1: there's not much in an a l park for Albert Almorra.
Speaker 1: Like they're like a pinch head zagooness with Schwarber at
Speaker 1: some point in the game, and I don't see another
Speaker 1: threat really to Almore's playing time. So we have a
Speaker 1: slight dock on al Moore because of historically being pinched
Speaker 1: hit for often. But I really don't think that's a
Speaker 1: concern today, So I would play on more of your

Speaker 1: you you look at your lineup and you're like in Vanuel,
Speaker 1: you look at your line up like this doesn't seem
Speaker 1: very good. Then, and then I'm looking at my my
Speaker 1: home league team, and I'm looking at the pitching staff
Speaker 1: like speaking of which I still set my line up.
Speaker 1: I'm like this this, this doesn't look very good either,
Speaker 1: Like this, this is bad your Kyle Tucker news yet
Speaker 1: I haven't haven't seen any Kyle Tucker news now. Like
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my pitching today in my home league,
Speaker 1: right this, this is not good today. My ace Blake
Speaker 1: Snell against Houston. All right, whatever Greg, it might be
Speaker 1: without Koreo, that's fine. We got big John Leicester today.
Speaker 1: He's been dropping. No, man, I see those pickups as
Speaker 1: we'll start against Texas, right, No, you might as well
Speaker 1: not we are, all right? Not we we start, We're starting.
Speaker 1: We're starting John. You would not start on any team
Speaker 1: of mine. He's starting on my squad today, Johnny Lester,
Speaker 1: I'll you drop him tonight. Then Jamie tye On in
Speaker 1: Cincinnati gets the start today. Not great, but I'm starting
Speaker 1: him in a few places too. That's let up. That's
Speaker 1: those are the starters for them. Big game out of Jamie.
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about it, man, I don't feel
Speaker 1: good about it at all? Why is that just? I
Speaker 1: just don't know, excited, excited for his baseball. I don't
Speaker 1: hear my idea line up by starting picture thanks to
Speaker 1: Drew dig Meyer Daily River dot Com. Justinverle Ender already different.
Speaker 1: You don't listen to or any probably don't start, so
Speaker 1: I did. I'm paying down a little bit, Greg. I'm
Speaker 1: going with massa hero tanaka at We say a lot
Speaker 1: of money doing that going up against you know, Johnny
Speaker 1: VR third. You see a lot of money doing that
Speaker 1: at first base. No, bye bye Birdie, Let's fly baby.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to use batters who bat higher in the
Speaker 1: order though that seventh we love it, let's go. We
Speaker 1: don't love it. I love the other Yankestere first base
Speaker 1: and more I have Luke Void is my first base.
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you use Verla anniverse to Nakas
Speaker 1: absolutely at second base, starting for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Let's go,
Speaker 1: Adam Frazer all batting third? Where did you and Franks?
Speaker 1: Chris Bryant is not bad third. He's playing third and
Speaker 1: betting second. I was looking at my short stop. You're right,
Speaker 1: that's okay, Chris Bryant playing short betting third Elvis Audrew's right,
Speaker 1: the talkiest lineup in opening day history. That's not true.
Speaker 1: Some of us are birds. Everyone's gonna have the same
Speaker 1: one birds man in the outfield. We're just going all
Speaker 1: speed with Brett Gardner with tolto to shields and Albert
Speaker 1: al Mora. My third outfielder is the man on the jersey.
Speaker 1: Greg b vps Julio Tehran narratives home runs in three
Speaker 1: of the last four opening days. That will be Bryce.
Speaker 1: I wish I can get in there and the cash
Speaker 1: right won't use j V at the utility spot. When
Speaker 1: he got at the utility spot. I have the person
Speaker 1: who's leading off or Bryce Harper. That will be Andrew
Speaker 1: McCutcheon adding first leading off for the Phillies n He's
Speaker 1: thirty one hundred dollars total. A pretty fair price at
Speaker 1: the utility spot for me. Frace Harpers, let's go shut
Speaker 1: that up, baby, set it up. I didn't have the money,
Speaker 1: Bam I do. Yeah. Look this is where all the
Speaker 1: chalk is gonna be. As many Yankees as you can get,
Speaker 1: Rangers Cubs um Adam Fraser because he's super cheap in
Speaker 1: the second base position isn't very good. I like the
Speaker 1: Phillies lineup. I know Hulia Toront had a good spring,
Speaker 1: but I like I like the Phillies lineup today. All right,
Speaker 1: you go with some real lineups. Now, let's do it. Alright,
Speaker 1: we're up to where we're up here to the Phillies
Speaker 1: rage perfect. So the Phillies you can go. You can
Speaker 1: tell I ask about a cutting leading off in France.
Speaker 1: Harper batting third, once us the rest of the Phillies
Speaker 1: line up. The rest of the Phillies lineup after mccutton.
Speaker 1: It is Jean Segura batting second, Bryce Harvor batting third,
Speaker 1: Reese Hoskins batting clean up, Jate tv Real Mouto batting fifth,
Speaker 1: or Dooble Herrera sixth season. Her end is seventh, healthy
Speaker 1: and in the line up Michael Franco batting eighth, Aaron
Speaker 1: Old the picture adding ninth. I have a few shares
Speaker 1: of MIKEL. Franco, not love him batting eight. See what
Speaker 1: happens if he performs well. I have a feeling he
Speaker 1: would move up. But let's see what happens batting first
Speaker 1: for the Atlanta Braves. Enter In Crt batting second, Josh Donaldson, third,
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman. As we expected, Ronald Acuna is cleaning up
Speaker 1: for the Braves today. Nick Mark Cake is batting fifth,
Speaker 1: Assie I'll be sixth, Brian McKinnon, seventh, Dansby Swanson who
Speaker 1: got actually had our right night spring batting eight, Julio
Speaker 1: Tehran batting ninth. I have a line up question for you.
Speaker 1: Line up question because Kyle Tucker is not Minor League
Speaker 1: eligible right now, I don't know. I have to drop
Speaker 1: to one of my teams, all right, So between Wade Miley,
Speaker 1: Martin Perez, Jeff some, Marja, Anna Ball Sanchez and Brandon Woodruff,
Speaker 1: I have to drop one of those when I could
Speaker 1: drop Kyle Tucker, but I don't want to do that,
Speaker 1: all right, it's not an option. Then one of those pictures.
Speaker 1: I'm going Marja, one of those three is correct. Yah, Well,
Speaker 1: you're not a Jeff swe I'm going to drop Marty
Speaker 1: Perez that's starting in the middle of April for this winds,
Speaker 1: So you're not You're gonna You're gonna wait around for
Speaker 1: Martin Paris. What I mean? You look good in the
Speaker 1: spring increased velocity outside this last start where we allowed
Speaker 1: four runs in five minutes. That again set Yankees though,
Speaker 1: yeah against Yankees. Who knows the line up? The ages?
Speaker 1: But now drop Marty Paris, You're right, thank you. Now
Speaker 1: I have a few of the lineups to set, all right?
Speaker 1: What are the line ups to do? We get in baseball?
Speaker 1: All right? Should I continue? On the Detroit Tigers taken
Speaker 1: on the Toronto Blue Jays three thirty seven p m.
Speaker 1: Certain time, and on our Tiger's lineup is as follows.
Speaker 1: Josh Harrison leads off, followed by Nick Castiano's batting third,
Speaker 1: Migey Cabrera, Uh Chamber, Candelaureo that Clina at a second
Speaker 1: most oh last year, Nico Goodrum who has all that
Speaker 1: position eligibility. The agings today, Christen Stewart batting six side,
Speaker 1: Robert Pattinson batting seventh, Griston Grinder batting ninth. That will
Speaker 1: be Jodie Mercer, followed by Mikey Maddock dotting ninth. I
Speaker 1: feel like Grayson Grinder is going to become a Greg favorite.
Speaker 1: She really liked to say his name exactly, Grayson by
Speaker 1: Grayson Grinner on my team would be called the Gruden Grinders.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good, pretty good for the Blue Jays. We
Speaker 1: have Brandon Drewy who I think, you know, everyone's sneaky.
Speaker 1: Everyone's trying to figure out, Oh, how do I replace
Speaker 1: Vladim mcgurero until he gets called up. Why don't you
Speaker 1: just pick up the person who's filling in for play? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the guy's gotten shortened the stick everywhere brend
Speaker 1: in jury. I think a sneaky play here leading off
Speaker 1: for the Blue Jays, going up against Jordansimmerman, Randall Grittrick
Speaker 1: batting second, Fiascar Hernanda is betting third, justin Smoke clean up,
Speaker 1: Lordas Grio, Kevin Polar sixth, Rowdy, Roddy Tells betting seventh,
Speaker 1: Danny Janson eighth, and Freddy Galvie's betting ninth. Allreadys batting ninth.
Speaker 1: Right there, Blue Jays, all right, Moving on to with
Speaker 1: the Chicago Clubs Texas Rangers four oh five. Start out
Speaker 1: in Texas. I'll go with John Lester's team. That's the Cubs.
Speaker 1: Albert Alma batting lead, all playing center field, Chris Bryant
Speaker 1: batting second, playing third, Anthony Rizzo batting third, playing first base,
Speaker 1: Habby Bayez is cleaning up batting short. Wilson Contrares is
Speaker 1: batting fifth at the catcher. Uh, David Boat adding six
Speaker 1: and playing second, which means, body, excuse me, means Ben's
Speaker 1: overs is your d H today. Jason Heyward batting eighth,
Speaker 1: playing right, and Mark sagoonis atting ninth in left field.
Speaker 1: It means there's no Kyle Schober obviously in the lineup
Speaker 1: against the lefty today. Who else are be missing in
Speaker 1: this lineup? Frank is particularly the extra left That's what
Speaker 1: it is. That's what it is. Yeah, there's no Kyles forber.
Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest takeaway here, not playing
Speaker 1: it's the lefty here on opening day. And but but
Speaker 1: Mark szagoonis the other roster instead of Ian hat thing.
Speaker 1: Definitely a thing. Yeah, David body in the lineup here
Speaker 1: as well for the I Go clubs. On the other side,
Speaker 1: my man, the line up the Shields leading off sneaky
Speaker 1: play against John Lesser who cannot hold batters on. Get
Speaker 1: some stolen bases here out of the line of the Shields.
Speaker 1: Ruten and Odor batting second. It was actually a little
Speaker 1: bit surprised that daily rodo is on high as it's
Speaker 1: as high on him as they are considering it's lefty
Speaker 1: on lefty Elvis Andrews, who we both have in our lineup,
Speaker 1: betting third, Joey Gallo, clean up, Hunter Pence back to
Speaker 1: the future, last one pass, whatever you want to go
Speaker 1: with their Hunter Pen's batting fifth, No More Mazzara six
Speaker 1: at Drubbarra seventh, Ronald Guzman eight, Jeff Mathis ninth against
Speaker 1: John Western, the my other short stop, by the way,
Speaker 1: officially not starting today and my teams, I told you
Speaker 1: to pick up Elvis Andrews, so I probably should pick
Speaker 1: him up right now. So I will. But here's my
Speaker 1: here's why I haven't picked him up yet in all seriousness,
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't. I would just drop Chris Taylor for
Speaker 1: him in my league and just do it. The problem
Speaker 1: is Dodgers play tomorrow and the Rangers don't, so there's
Speaker 1: a chance that Chris Taylor could wind up playing tomorrow. Maybe.
Speaker 1: So I get it. I want to pick up Elvis Andrews.
Speaker 1: I just want to wait for O Tany to go
Speaker 1: on the d L to do it. Isn't on the
Speaker 1: d L yet. It's incredibly annoying. Tany is on the
Speaker 1: on the ASO He's just been moved just this moved
Speaker 1: really in CBS. I was able to get him. Oh
Speaker 1: it's so big, Frank, thank you very much for that.
Speaker 1: That just half started off the program bashing these websites.
Speaker 1: But they're slowly coming around here, Greggy, that's just happened. Huh,
Speaker 1: good job, Frankie. I just put him on the aisle.
Speaker 1: All right, welcome to the squad, Elvis Andrew's good job
Speaker 1: Frank him in there, Greggy. Yeah, because it doesn't take
Speaker 1: afect us tomorrow. I hate that about Yahoo, man, but
Speaker 1: I think you can change it. You should be able
Speaker 1: to add a player and play him that day. No,
Speaker 1: we don't like to do that. I don't want to
Speaker 1: do it, all right, frand Will Raising Yeah, he's been
Speaker 1: clean up. I think about a fifth around there. We
Speaker 1: do have the Padre's line bad and clean up. I
Speaker 1: thought spots to being right behind Manny Machado and ahead
Speaker 1: of Eric Cosmer. You don't have the Giants line up yet,
Speaker 1: but for the Padres, Ian Kinsler, Will Myers, Manny Machado,
Speaker 1: third friend Malreus, Eric Hosmer, Fernando Tatis Jr. Batting six
Speaker 1: in this lineup, Manuel Marco seventh, Austin Hedges eight and
Speaker 1: Eric Loward nine. I think Eric Lowerd a sneaky. You
Speaker 1: did that that I was having the Giants line up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well just because I thought it was worth mentioning. Talking
Speaker 1: about the Padres lineup, I'm excited about them. I have
Speaker 1: friend Malreus in our in house league here. I I
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure he was in the lineup because
Speaker 1: I plan on having him in cho whenever one of
Speaker 1: them wasn't in the lineup, getting the other one in
Speaker 1: the lineup. So I'm happy that Reis is in here
Speaker 1: against the lefty Madison Bungard. You know what takeaway here?
Speaker 1: No harm to Renfro even against the lefty. This is
Speaker 1: this is what we worry about with the Padres. They
Speaker 1: have too many outfielders. Renfro has a lot of upside,
Speaker 1: but here, even against the lefty not in the lineup.
Speaker 1: The let We'll give you another line up here because
Speaker 1: Franks's doing I mentioned you mentioned Warmer Flora's batting third
Speaker 1: like Adam Jones leading off, follow by Edwardo followed by
Speaker 1: Edwardo Escobar betting in Flora's his third David perraulta who
Speaker 1: expected to lead off, but facing the leftist he's betting
Speaker 1: fourth today, Christian Walker batting fifth, as you said earlier,
Speaker 1: Kettle Martin a batting six, which is annoying. Nicko madd
Speaker 1: betting seventh. And it's John Ryan Murphy me being the
Speaker 1: starting catcher today. All right, let's trade Paul Goldsman away
Speaker 1: to get Luke Weaver and Carson Kelly and not even
Speaker 1: play Carson Kelly. Yeah, maybe Zachargy like fl Please do
Speaker 1: I have so many shows of Carson Kelly. It was great.
Speaker 1: It was a good job by you. Uh Zach actually
Speaker 1: called it. You said, hey, what about John Ryan Murphy
Speaker 1: last week? Maybe zach Argy likes throwing the JR. Murphy.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is. I know that's why Beef Casteel is
Speaker 1: not in the lineup, because I believe it is. Are
Speaker 1: you hanging on it? Sucks? We got Carlos Rodan starting,
Speaker 1: and it's James McCann as a sign catcher that's gonna
Speaker 1: be his personal catcher, and he's McCanns gonna be his
Speaker 1: personal kick. So don't freak out about Beef Castido. By
Speaker 1: the way, just Alex Pablo uh Pablovich on Twitter. The
Speaker 1: Giants had an opening day left fielder that's been different
Speaker 1: thirteen consecutive years, and then they just dfade Mac Williamson.
Speaker 1: It's messed up because he got hurt. Really like the
Speaker 1: guy who set to make the team and be a starter,
Speaker 1: and you d f m because he gets hurt. Right,
Speaker 1: Obviously he wasn't guaranteed to make the team, right, I
Speaker 1: guess you're right. Yeah, yeah, I could drop him now. Yes,
Speaker 1: you can definitely drop Mac Williams. Shares of Mac Williams
Speaker 1: because when he came up last year he performed well.
Speaker 1: So I had a little bit of interest, not a lot,
Speaker 1: just in some deeper leagues. I'm looking at my NFBTC
Speaker 1: lineups now, Greg, to make sure I have Carson Kelly
Speaker 1: in here. Might have to pick up another backup catcher.
Speaker 1: Have to line up the Shields in the lineup. The
Speaker 1: Shields makes the line up. All right, that's cool, Utility.
Speaker 1: How about this, Greg, I'll throw a little question your way.
Speaker 1: Brandon Lowe is hitting clean up today for the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Rays. They're clearly very excited about Brandon Love. They
Speaker 1: are given the extension with my last round pick in
Speaker 1: the Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational, Would you use him over
Speaker 1: Joey Win Wendell as your middle infielder. I would NFBC,
Speaker 1: you'd use Brandon Low cleanup betting sex yep. The rest
Speaker 1: of the raised lot of the rest of the raised
Speaker 1: lot of is as follows. Austin Meadows leads off. Tommy
Speaker 1: fam matting second, playing left field, g Man show your
Speaker 1: third place hit her for the race today batting fourth,
Speaker 1: Brandon Low batting fiveth is Heandi Dias betting six, Joey
Speaker 1: Wendel seventh, Willie Thomas eighth, Kevin Kierma. You don't like
Speaker 1: to see batting eight. That's annoying here Kermer owner uh
Speaker 1: and Mike's anino batting nine that you also don't like.
Speaker 1: If here's a Nino guy. Yeah, Gregg Bird got cheered
Speaker 1: today or booed. He just came out. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's gonna be much of a reaction to clabor tourism.
Speaker 1: Sure got a big ovation. He just came out as well.
Speaker 1: Because you're going through the line up big smiless for Glavery.
Speaker 1: It's first opening day. Is Yankee betting? Yes, how much hired?
Speaker 1: Can you put him? Too long? Got a lot of cheers.
Speaker 1: I love too Low as you had a too low
Speaker 1: Jersey Man, I love that guy. Always have first. You
Speaker 1: get too little Rockies. Jersey realistically believe is legitimately batting
Speaker 1: third for the race. I'm excited. Can you send the
Speaker 1: excitement in our voices, dude, I'm ready like line up
Speaker 1: being announced right now for the Yankee game. The Mets
Speaker 1: and Nationals are getting ready to to get warmed up
Speaker 1: here as well to got to Grom going up against Er.
Speaker 1: You know it's a big day with the mess broadcast
Speaker 1: is wearing suits. Alonso your first game, well, you gotta
Speaker 1: do his face. Max s adding seconds like fun. He
Speaker 1: said he's ready for the challenge. So he's ready for
Speaker 1: the challenge. I think it's looking more like a sombrero
Speaker 1: day for Peter Rance. Let me do the A's lineup
Speaker 1: right now, Roddy Grossman, as you said, Frank leads off,
Speaker 1: followed by Matt Chapman second, Steve Piscatti batting third, Chris
Speaker 1: Davis banning fourth, You're some pro fars batting fifth, Chad
Speaker 1: Pinder that six, Marcus Simeon betting seventh, Loriano batting eighth.
Speaker 1: I don't rio and Josh Fegley and Josh Fegley is
Speaker 1: banting nine I will say that I've cooled it a
Speaker 1: little bit on the romo. Oh have you now? M
Speaker 1: Flora's betting third? So they go, what a call by Greggy?
Speaker 1: What do you think about this nickname for Chad Pinder?
Speaker 1: I was doing the podcast with Bubba the other day,
Speaker 1: wipe right. I like it. I like it. You create that.
Speaker 1: I did not know. That's all bench with Bubba. Well,
Speaker 1: I spoke about he lives on the West Coast, He's
Speaker 1: a big Kients fan. Spoke about the possibilities of getting
Speaker 1: him in on the show, so, well, we'll have to
Speaker 1: figure it out. He's also a big Metallican fan. Is
Speaker 1: that why you're getting a lot of You know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of cross over there between like the San
Speaker 1: Francisco Giants and Metallica. They do, they play a lot
Speaker 1: of they do like random concerts after like Giant skiings
Speaker 1: and stuff, So there's a lot of cross over there.
Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense. I was happy to
Speaker 1: hear that. We spoke a little bit before we went
Speaker 1: on air about how much I don't like Dave Matthews
Speaker 1: band and how much you do like. Then we spoke, no,
Speaker 1: he doesn't, and we spoke about our love for Metallica,
Speaker 1: So that was cool. Don't look at a laugh, man,
Speaker 1: Craig's just diving in. Have you seen anything on the
Speaker 1: cattle Tucker news of the Houston lineup? The Houston lineup?
Speaker 1: I give that to get the right age lineup at
