Speaker 1: your maps. And with that we walked with you inside
Speaker 1: Studio thirty four. I was like a shell of what
Speaker 1: we were expecting. But that's Frank Staff. Well, I'm Greg Susman, Audie.
Speaker 1: Let's go. How's your weekend? Ours? Is mediocre? Best Fridy?
Speaker 1: What's happening man, Greggy? I've had many better Mondays than today. Obviously,
Speaker 1: last night was one of those nights where I let
Speaker 1: being a Warts fan affect my sleep, not consciously. I
Speaker 1: didn't want that to happen, but woke up in the
Speaker 1: middle of night tossing and turning having nightmares about Reggie
Speaker 1: Bullock and and and Bobby Portis Julius Randall. Now we're here,
Speaker 1: Now we're here, but not a great night of sleep
Speaker 1: for me. How to how to go for you? Buddy? Honestly,
Speaker 1: I was really really upset at like six o'clock yesterday
Speaker 1: and I was just like it was like unfathomable what
Speaker 1: was happening. But then like I got home. I was
Speaker 1: in Long Island on the day I have a cousin's
Speaker 1: graduation party, as I mentioned on on Saturday night, so
Speaker 1: I hung about the pool yesterday like wh I come
Speaker 1: back to the city. Crazy story was like a tornadou
Speaker 1: where I was, it was nuts, like trees of rooted
Speaker 1: driveways broken. It was crazy when yesterday afternoon, really seriously,
Speaker 1: I was just locked in my apartment which is underground,
Speaker 1: so I had no idea what was going out where
Speaker 1: I wasn't Long Island. It was nuts, man, happened to
Speaker 1: be Saturday. I told you I was going a Long Island.
Speaker 1: It was like on and off rain like monsoons throughout
Speaker 1: the day, and then it would just get super hot
Speaker 1: and sunny again, like okay, well, the world is definitely
Speaker 1: ending that's confirmed, so it's just a matter of when.
Speaker 1: At this point, it was wild Saturday. It was wild man,
Speaker 1: it was wild. So anyway, so then last night, I'm
Speaker 1: I got home, We're going over some Waiver stuff and
Speaker 1: I'm reading my book. Pretty rolled in my books, I'm
Speaker 1: pretty bumped about it. So it was great, all right.
Speaker 1: I kind of woke up wanted to read my book,
Speaker 1: but this chapter is like a really long one, and
Speaker 1: like I didn't have time to read it before I
Speaker 1: kind of work, So I decided to go home and
Speaker 1: read it. Yeah, maybe we should get a new intro
Speaker 1: while we're at it too, Like you're excited to be
Speaker 1: Knicks fans and yeahah, we're gonna get like the nineties
Speaker 1: Knicks theme going, and the next well, we'll put our
Speaker 1: names in there and it'll be fun. And until yesterday, Greg,
Speaker 1: Matt Modiga, we know you're there, your coffins, We're hearing you.
Speaker 1: We got you. But there you go. Matt moo Diga
Speaker 1: is here. He is a Mets, Bills and Knicks fan,
Speaker 1: so things are great for Matt as well. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: but there's always a solution here. You could just move
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn now, and you know you could be a
Speaker 1: hipster and root for, you know, a rising NBA franchise.
Speaker 1: There you go, and most hipsters don't even care about basketball,
Speaker 1: so I don't I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. And and honestly,
Speaker 1: if you're a Brooklyn Nets fan, congratulations, you basically executed
Speaker 1: everything that Knicks wanted to do this offseason. But if
Speaker 1: you actually get pleasure in watching Knicks fans suffered, you
Speaker 1: are sick, sick human being. We suffer a lot, man
Speaker 1: suffer a lot. Yeah, it's all right. At least we
Speaker 1: have the Yankees, Greg, I mean that's dude. Well the
Speaker 1: Yankees very met like right now. It's it's besides like
Speaker 1: the whole winning thing, Like, besides the winning thing, Greg,
Speaker 1: that's the only thing that matters. The Severinos, I was
Speaker 1: a joke. Joke. Oh, he doesn't like m R. Eyes.
Speaker 1: This is something mets with you, Matt. We would sit
Speaker 1: here and kill them for it. Oh, he doesn't like
Speaker 1: m R. Eight. Sil Let's not give him one. You
Speaker 1: are being a Matt. He doesn't let ye our eyes.
Speaker 1: Let's not give him one? What what I mean? I
Speaker 1: hear you, But just look at the last thirty days
Speaker 1: of MetLife and how you know, everything just gets more
Speaker 1: and more ridiculous by the day. One thing I would
Speaker 1: like to say about the uh, Kevin Durant signing, He's
Speaker 1: gonna be like fine after the surgery and everything. That's
Speaker 1: all Nick fans are hoping for at this point, that
Speaker 1: he's never the same effort. That's a fair question. That's
Speaker 1: a fair question, Matt. And you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: it's that same exact thinking that apparently James Dolan had,
Speaker 1: and that's why he was hesitant to give Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: a MAX contract, but was never hesitant to give it
Speaker 1: to you know, anyone else, Amari Stadimire, Carmelo Anthony, you
Speaker 1: know all the other schmucks that came before that too.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to Kevin Durant, who was like
Speaker 1: confirmed one of the top five players in the NBA,
Speaker 1: We're gonna proceed with caution there. So you don't believe
Speaker 1: any of that. We'll see what happen. You don't believe
Speaker 1: honestly though, Like you being upset about the Severno situation.
Speaker 1: While the Yankees are like one of the best teams
Speaker 1: in the league, it's just like prime Greg sus me Prime,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're being complaining about everything with the Yankee theme.
Speaker 1: They're still winning. They're still winning, of course they are,
Speaker 1: but like long term success, I like it. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: they're gonna be paying Stanton, you know, thirty five million
Speaker 1: dollars when he's like thirty eight winning. Who cares. That's
Speaker 1: exactly right, that's exactly right. Pretty pretty entertaining. London series
Speaker 1: wasn't entertaining. Basically, course field out there. It was much
Speaker 1: better than did you see the line yesterday? The total
Speaker 1: sixteen and a half and it went over. They scored
Speaker 1: twenty runs yesterday they scored a total of fifty in
Speaker 1: the series, a two game series. It's wild, all right? Now,
Speaker 1: how was your weekend? Man? On the weekend was good.
Speaker 1: I was actually very excited for the London series, and
Speaker 1: you know, it did get a bit ridiculous, though. I
Speaker 1: just hope the European baseball fans or the new European
Speaker 1: baseball fans don't pet the over on every single game
Speaker 1: going forward, because I think this is how baseball is
Speaker 1: to be played. Makes sense? Yeah, you do it? See
Speaker 1: what happens, Gret, How do we do last week's beeking
Speaker 1: in best. How do we how would we wound up?
Speaker 1: Wind up? Don't I'll go back and look at it,
Speaker 1: turn to break. I don't remember what are whatever we
Speaker 1: had on Friday? I think I won that. I remember
Speaker 1: looking at I got it right, thanks man, I mean
Speaker 1: you broke even for the week. Yeah, that's pretty good
Speaker 1: about so go me fantastic. Let's get in the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: I guess that's what people want to hear, right, Um
Speaker 1: we had in the waiver wire, and we begin with
Speaker 1: Brendan McKay, who had an okay debut. I'd say, man, yeah,
Speaker 1: no it was. It was pretty good. And you know,
Speaker 1: Tip Bay Ray fans had to be a static. I
Speaker 1: can't see this kid going down. I think he stayed
Speaker 1: in the rotation for the most part. Maybe in September
Speaker 1: they get a little creative and maybe he becomes a
Speaker 1: you know, closure for them heading into the playoffs something
Speaker 1: like that. I only got one share that was in
Speaker 1: a twelve team league. I run him for twenty three.
Speaker 1: The runner up was eleven versus the other league that
Speaker 1: he went for like two d and thirty dollars and
Speaker 1: the runner up was a hundred like ten. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: ended up with one share as well, a team that
Speaker 1: Greig and I owned together that has not been very
Speaker 1: successful quite We had sixteen dollars left out of a hundred,
Speaker 1: but they do allow zero dollar bids, so we bid
Speaker 1: our remaining sixteen bucks. That's a fifteen team mixed league,
Speaker 1: so that's you know, sixteen percent of our overall budgets
Speaker 1: to start the year, and we got him. We got
Speaker 1: it for sixteen bucks, and that's pretty much right in
Speaker 1: line with how much I saw him going for in
Speaker 1: other fifteen team leagues. He went for a hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty seven in the Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational to Adam Rhnas. Actually,
Speaker 1: and he went for a hundred and fifty dollars in
Speaker 1: the main event that Matt Modica and myself playing. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought he did a great job in
Speaker 1: his debut against the Texas Rangers. He was five perfect endings.
Speaker 1: Greg allowed one hit in one walk in that final
Speaker 1: ending of work, six innings, three strikeouts, eleven swinging strikes
Speaker 1: on one pitches. That's a thirteen point six percent swinging
Speaker 1: strike rate. I thought, I thought he looked apart. I
Speaker 1: thought he looked really good. Um No, I would expect
Speaker 1: more strikeouts especially against a Texas Rangers team faces the
Speaker 1: Yankees this week, Greg, so a little bit of a
Speaker 1: tougher matchup. We'll see what happens here. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I agree with that. I think he's I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna stick around at least until um at least
Speaker 1: until September. Right, he's gonna, I would imagine for him
Speaker 1: to be in the rotation. So it's looking good. If
Speaker 1: you picked up Brendan McKay, I think he was, and
Speaker 1: we said this on Friday, probably the last best pitching
Speaker 1: prospect that's gonna come up. I know Dylan Sees is
Speaker 1: like expected to come up on Wednesday, and he's definitely
Speaker 1: worth stashing. But I think Brendan McKay, overall the numbers
Speaker 1: that he put up in the minor leagues, coupled with
Speaker 1: his hype there, I would say that he was a
Speaker 1: higher ranking prospect for fantasy purposes rather than Dylan Cease. Matt,
Speaker 1: would you agree with that? How do you how are
Speaker 1: you approaching the situation? Are you gonna be in on
Speaker 1: Dylan Cease next week when he's available in NFBC leagues?
Speaker 1: I think that's probably uh the correct analysis. Look, McKay
Speaker 1: has flown up with his progression. I mean just flying
Speaker 1: through the minors a two way player, but he's going
Speaker 1: to be a picture. That's where he's gonna make his
Speaker 1: bones and all that. Uh, Dylan Ceases somebody I've long
Speaker 1: been interested in. Uh. The White Sox have been aggressive
Speaker 1: in the past with their younger arms, the kids coming up. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is not a tryout for him. This should be
Speaker 1: rest of the season, hopefully no injuries, a car and
Speaker 1: I would definitely take a shot on Cease. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not, um, it's not without some prepredations that could arise.
Speaker 1: But I think the kid's got plenty of talent and
Speaker 1: it's a very intriguing m Yeah. He he definitely does. He's,
Speaker 1: you know, the top ranking pitching prospect in the White
Speaker 1: organization outside of Michael Kopeck, who obviously is returning rehabbing
Speaker 1: from Tommy John surgery. But yeah, Dylan, see sees you
Speaker 1: an electric fastball curveball combination. I wrote about some of
Speaker 1: my patren yesterday. Greg. I know, we get a lot,
Speaker 1: we get very excited for prospects, and I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna have a long term term arsenal that that could
Speaker 1: be effective. At the major league level, but he wasn't
Speaker 1: performing all that great this year in Triple A. And
Speaker 1: I know, like there's juice balls there as well and
Speaker 1: offenses up at Triple A. But he had a four
Speaker 1: point four eight e r, a one point five seven whip,
Speaker 1: a two eighty four batting average against. And you know,
Speaker 1: we read you Brendan McKay's numbers in both double and
Speaker 1: Triple A on Friday, and then obviously coupled with what
Speaker 1: he did over the weekend in his major league debut,
Speaker 1: And I think that there is reason to be more
Speaker 1: excited about Brendan McKay than Dylan Sees. I agree with that.
Speaker 1: Talent wise, I think there is something to be said.
Speaker 1: The regrets are in the White Sox saying, hey, this
Speaker 1: guy's in a rotation and that was that like certainty
Speaker 1: makes me super interested to see what we get from
Speaker 1: Dalan Seeds later this week. But I think Brandon McKay
Speaker 1: pitches like obviously not as good as you do this
Speaker 1: past week, because I don't know if we can see
Speaker 1: that consistently. But if he pitches well, he's not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: The Razor fighting for a playoff spot. They're fighting, Uh,
Speaker 1: for a division crown still at this points only in July.
Speaker 1: I think the Rays are gonna they've already called him up,
Speaker 1: so they're gonna put him out there, leave him in
Speaker 1: that rotation, and ultimately I think certainly one of the
Speaker 1: top pick ups that were remaining um on the waiver
Speaker 1: wire even to come for this season. Guys, who else
Speaker 1: was worth bidding on this week? Matt Who did you
Speaker 1: go after here? Other? Uh than Brandon McKay. Oh, there
Speaker 1: was one guy in particular that I targeted in every league. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of money in most of
Speaker 1: these leagues, and that's pretty much part from the course
Speaker 1: for me at this point of the season. But Aaron
Speaker 1: Bummer I acquired most everywhere a couple of spots he
Speaker 1: was owned already. I think it's a matter of time
Speaker 1: before column May gets traded, and I think he's the
Speaker 1: heir apparent there. Uh. They seem to really like him.
Speaker 1: He seems to be right now the future closure in
Speaker 1: waiting for them, and I was trying to get ahead
Speaker 1: of the game. I scooped him up for as little
Speaker 1: as three pretty much three to nine dollars in all
Speaker 1: the leagues I owned them in some leagues that I
Speaker 1: definitely wanted him. I moved it up to like nine dollars. Okay,
Speaker 1: So you know with Aaron Bummer here, matt Um and
Speaker 1: you want them in our main event league for like
Speaker 1: three bucks out of a thousand. So just you know,
Speaker 1: taking a small crack here at And we spoke about
Speaker 1: this as well on Friday, Greg, where you know, you
Speaker 1: want to prep yourself for the possibility of these closers
Speaker 1: being traded around the trade deadline and you know, maybe
Speaker 1: scooping up some of these backup relievers or over the
Speaker 1: leaders that we would expect to get save opportunities in
Speaker 1: the future before these trades happens, that you could save
Speaker 1: yourself some fab But are you are you well, there's
Speaker 1: no way of knowing, But how confident are you that
Speaker 1: it would be Bummer over someone like cal Amy who
Speaker 1: hasn't really pitched well this year, but he has the
Speaker 1: closing experience. And it just seems like with Kelvin Herrera, Yes,
Speaker 1: so like he hasn't pitched well this year, but he
Speaker 1: has the closing experience. So are you how confident are
Speaker 1: you that Aaron Bummer would get it before someone like
Speaker 1: Kelvin Herrera? There is a risk of that. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of managers still love to go you know that,
Speaker 1: that mindset of he's done it before, you know that nonsense.
Speaker 1: But I think this is a young team on the rise.
Speaker 1: I think this season is being set up for next
Speaker 1: year and to get Bummer in that position. He was
Speaker 1: one of a couple of these closures that in waiting,
Speaker 1: and you gotta do it now, as you said, you
Speaker 1: don't want to wait two weeks when people get traded
Speaker 1: or you know, Colin Megans traded the middle of the week,
Speaker 1: or Matt will Smith is traded like rays Mronthis pitched
Speaker 1: much better, He's pitched well this year. You had a
Speaker 1: horrible May and the other guy in Miami, Nick, Uh,
Speaker 1: what is it? Nick Anderson? Yeah? I think he's you're
Speaker 1: a parent there. Once Sergio Romola was moved. That's assuming
Speaker 1: people want Sergio Romo just say yeah, problem, he said,
Speaker 1: He's pitched like decent for the most part this year.
Speaker 1: Gregg's fine. Yeah, Well you want to hear something about Romo?
Speaker 1: I would like I would like to use yes. Uh.
Speaker 1: Since post also break last year, only eight relief pictures
Speaker 1: have more saves than him. He has twenty nine, but
Speaker 1: it does come with a four fifty whip and I
Speaker 1: mean shot r a and like a one thirty whip.
Speaker 1: So you know, you get me you paid for, but
Speaker 1: you got saved from him and that's yeah, that's exactly
Speaker 1: what you want from surge of Romo. One of the
Speaker 1: cheapest relievers to go off the board on draft Day
Speaker 1: is Sergio Romo. Greg I was looking at a few
Speaker 1: Cardinals outfielders here. They were both added in fifteen team
Speaker 1: leagues that I was playing in Jose Martinez where he
Speaker 1: was available. You know, he hasn't really performed in the
Speaker 1: month of June. Maybe that's due to your inconsistent playing time.
Speaker 1: He's more recently he's been out there um consistently, but
Speaker 1: for the for the most part over the past couple
Speaker 1: of months, his playing time has been inconsistent. Once everyone
Speaker 1: is healthy, and we know what Jose Martinez can bring,
Speaker 1: obviously really good batting, average hitting in the middle of
Speaker 1: this Cardinals lineup. A really underwhelming Cardinals lineup so far
Speaker 1: this year too. Like I think we've spoken about this before,
Speaker 1: great streaming pictures against the Cardinals. Now it's basically in
Speaker 1: the month of June, their offense has just gone ice
Speaker 1: called Paul Goldschmidt has has been mired in like a
Speaker 1: season long slump, something similar to what he did last year.
Speaker 1: But by this point last year he had already turned
Speaker 1: it on very much. So we're still waiting for Paul
Speaker 1: Goldschmidt to turn it on. But you know, Marcelo Zuna
Speaker 1: lands on the I l that's gonna give Jose Martinez
Speaker 1: everyday playing time. And then also Tyler O'Neill, who is
Speaker 1: now back in the mix for the real deal, the
Speaker 1: real deal, Tyler O'Neil, who we know. You know, we
Speaker 1: talked about this a lot as as well met uh
Speaker 1: pretty much throughout draft season. In these deeper leagues, we
Speaker 1: look at skills, right and eventually we we we hope
Speaker 1: that the skill has win out. And when it comes
Speaker 1: to Tyler O'Neill, I mean, the guy is jacked out
Speaker 1: of his mind, you know that, and he hits the
Speaker 1: ball extremely hard. And I think we all think, if
Speaker 1: you were to get a starting opportunity, this is someone
Speaker 1: that can flirt with like thirty plus home run upside,
Speaker 1: but he just hasn't really had the opportunity to play.
Speaker 1: But I think we can all agree that the skills
Speaker 1: are there for Tyler O'Neil strikes out a little bit
Speaker 1: too much, but but that comes with sluggers. Kind of
Speaker 1: similar to like a hazersglor Last year he knew that
Speaker 1: he had to skill. Once he got the opportunity to
Speaker 1: play every day, he took off. So maybe there there's
Speaker 1: a chance there for something similar happening with Tyler O'Neill. Gregg,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a break. We'll talk more about
Speaker 1: the St. Louis Cardinals. We'll take a look at some
Speaker 1: of the two start pitchers as well. Well. I'm more

Speaker 1: best friends forever, Frank Stample, Gregg Sussman, Matt Officially, Matt,
Speaker 1: this is our last Monday together talking baseball because starting
Speaker 1: next Monday, we moved to a new time and new
Speaker 1: opportunities because fantasy football seasons rapped. Yes, it has great,
Speaker 1: And you know I've been doing Bestball's drafts not stop,
Speaker 1: one after another after another. Uh so, yeah, I'm already
Speaker 1: I'm already jumped in doing a lot of research night
Speaker 1: in and night out, getting ready for the fantasy football season.
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of people already want to
Speaker 1: hear fantasy football. There's a lot of shows already talking
Speaker 1: fantasy football. But yes, starting next week, it seems like
Speaker 1: we're gonna jump in some fantasy football. So the plan is,
Speaker 1: and again my next Monday could change, but the plan
Speaker 1: is for our program to go from two to four PM.
Speaker 1: Back to two hours. We've kind of alluded to that.
Speaker 1: Back to two hours, a lot of fantasy football content
Speaker 1: starting then. We may have given that we have two
Speaker 1: hours back touch on some baseball, some the bigger stories
Speaker 1: of course, and help you guys out, But I gotta
Speaker 1: catch up on football. I feel like I had no
Speaker 1: idea what's going on. I have not look at a
Speaker 1: single thing, and then when you tell me certain things,
Speaker 1: I'm like shocked. So I'm kind of excited about it.
Speaker 1: Very great. Well, you got a week, you gotta you
Speaker 1: gott a week to start looking into things and you know,
Speaker 1: get into the know of what's going on. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know anything. People I like that, like, you tell
Speaker 1: me you're terrible, So I'm like very confused. Well, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm not the end all be all, so
Speaker 1: I guess that's what you're my end all be Well.
Speaker 1: We'll have other opinions in here as well. Who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong as well. We'll get Matt Modica, it
Speaker 1: will get some you know, Fantasy Taz. You know Jim
Speaker 1: Day is in the chat right now. Shout out to
Speaker 1: gym Day, Fantasy Taz, Fantasy Football Frenzy. We'll be back
Speaker 1: as well, right, so maybe you know, we'll work him,
Speaker 1: get him in the rotation. Potentially some Eric Young, Greg Eric, y'all.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that one, but yeah, potentially, potentially.
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't mean it's gonna happen. See what happens,
Speaker 1: It happens. So that's the plan for next week, Matt.
Speaker 1: We hope to have you a part of that. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm you know, football is upon us. I
Speaker 1: love football, you know, Baseball it's there too, totally different
Speaker 1: animals and all that. But one of the things I've
Speaker 1: really loved about fantasy football the last few years and
Speaker 1: why I've gotten even more into it is the deep
Speaker 1: dives were allowed to do. Now there's more stats than
Speaker 1: ever and I'm looking very fun to it. We all are.
Speaker 1: We all are Greggy Seth Curry. Seth Curry is going
Speaker 1: back in Dallas. That's nice. I've got nothing on it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's probably would have been a prime Knicks
Speaker 1: target if they didn't sign you know, five other players
Speaker 1: who were exactly like I would like Seth Curry over
Speaker 1: Wayne Allington whatever. Alright, See that's your biggest qualm, really, well,
Speaker 1: my biggest qualms that they signed multiple players to play
Speaker 1: the same exact position. You can never have too many
Speaker 1: power forwards, Greg, especially the way I know, uh you
Speaker 1: mentioned the Cardinals Josie Martinez, Tyler O'Neil, and I was
Speaker 1: reading article last week Frank that one of the major
Speaker 1: issues of the Cardinals have had have been the play
Speaker 1: of Whosie Martinez and Tyler O'Neil, that they haven't gotten
Speaker 1: nearly enough out of the Harrison Bader as well as
Speaker 1: one of the reasons that they have struggled. A lot
Speaker 1: of people pointed the Luke Void trade, but both one
Speaker 1: of the reasons they traded Luke voit was to open
Speaker 1: up more of a playing opportunity for O'Neil and Josie Martinez,
Speaker 1: and of course they traded for Paul Goldschman. Both of
Speaker 1: these players haven't exactly lit the world on fire this year.
Speaker 1: You want to pick him up? You we're interested in
Speaker 1: them this week? How come? Well? I still think that
Speaker 1: the skills are there. I don't think it's necessarily just
Speaker 1: on Tyler O'Neil or Jose Martinez. I mean, you look
Speaker 1: at Paul Goldschman's season two steps. You know when they
Speaker 1: traded for him. They were expecting to get, you know
Speaker 1: that Paul Goldsmith from the second half of last year.
Speaker 1: And I think that there's a lot of people that
Speaker 1: are underperforming, like Paul Deon got off to a great start,
Speaker 1: and you know, he slowed down tremendously as well. Um
Speaker 1: and Marcello Zuna's hurting now too. Jose Martinez, Look, he's
Speaker 1: a brutal fielder there. I mean, there's no denying that.
Speaker 1: But the Cardinals kind of pigeonholed themselves into into the
Speaker 1: situation because he has to play right field, right he's
Speaker 1: not gonna play first base with Paul Gloseman on the
Speaker 1: roster um, and you know, with all things to consider,
Speaker 1: Jose Martinez is still batting two eight one. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's not someone who's going to provide huge power or anything.
Speaker 1: He's known for being a contact hit or someone who's
Speaker 1: gonna give you batting average, and he's really provided that.
Speaker 1: And when it comes to Tyler O'Neill, I mean, he
Speaker 1: hasn't really had a fair shake. He hasn't had an
Speaker 1: opportunity so far this year. And it seems like at
Speaker 1: least now for the time being, until Barcelo Zuna's back
Speaker 1: that he's going to get that opportunity. So if you
Speaker 1: could grab some home runs here a handful of homwers,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he stays hot and when everyone else
Speaker 1: is healthy, these things usually figure themselves out. But I
Speaker 1: don't think it's necessarily on like Jose Martinez or Tyler O'Neill.
Speaker 1: For what's going on with the St. Louis Cardinals, Mamodia,
Speaker 1: did you have any interest in either one of these players?
Speaker 1: I had interest, I pretty much. I was trying to
Speaker 1: get many more go but real quick. With the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: the Goldschman has been a real disappointment. He had that
Speaker 1: three homeward game like the second day the season and
Speaker 1: things looked all great. He's been a major disappointment. Matt Carpenter.
Speaker 1: Basically he didn't play all week. Was Tommy Edmonds was
Speaker 1: pretty much in there in his role. So there there's
Speaker 1: a lot that's gone wrong. And one of their better
Speaker 1: hitters was Jadi Molina and he's you know, injured now
Speaker 1: and Leo Juna. Injury just kills them. Yeah, And while
Speaker 1: we're talking about it, like Harrison Bader was someone who
Speaker 1: kind of was going similarly to Ramo Loriano. These are
Speaker 1: players that we thought maybe had some interesting power speed combinations.
Speaker 1: And while Ramo Loriano has really taken off in his
Speaker 1: second season, Harrison Bader has not really. I mean he's
Speaker 1: been he's been quite bad. He's he's in the two
Speaker 1: oh six on the season with his six six ops,
Speaker 1: six homers, four stolen basis. So, I mean just a
Speaker 1: lot of these guys are underperforming. Matt Carpenter specifically as well,
Speaker 1: but really just all throughout the offense. Outside of like
Speaker 1: Marcelo Zuna, who's been quite great, I mean, I mean
Speaker 1: he's doing what's been asked of him. It's pretty much
Speaker 1: everyone else on this roster who hasn't performed. But you know,
Speaker 1: just some some cheap exposure here to to every day
Speaker 1: at bats in what should be a better lineup than
Speaker 1: it has shown so far of the season. Absolutely, and hopefully,
Speaker 1: uh this summer or whether it's warm, they will get hot. Uh,
Speaker 1: the bats will turn on. Now A name that you
Speaker 1: been on, Frank, that I wanted to actually get into.
Speaker 1: We're a couple of names. Actually, Jalien Beaks is the
Speaker 1: first one, because we talked a lot about Brendan McKay
Speaker 1: at the top and McKay comes up. He's a starter now.
Speaker 1: Beaks was one of these guys that was playing in
Speaker 1: the piggyback role. After Ryan Static starts, Beaks comes in
Speaker 1: and pitches a few innings. Um, and you've talked about
Speaker 1: him earlier this season, about someone you wanted. Now he's
Speaker 1: been sent down. Why are you betting on him now? Yeah, immediately,
Speaker 1: I don't know why he was sent down. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe you know something that I don't met. I mean,
Speaker 1: his underlying numbers are much higher, like his x fit,
Speaker 1: his SIERRA much higher than his to seven nine e
Speaker 1: r A. But for the most part, he has pitched
Speaker 1: well in that follower role this year as that bulk
Speaker 1: or lever again to seven nine A one point to
Speaker 1: nine whit right around seven in a half case. But
Speaker 1: I feel like for the most part he's done what's
Speaker 1: expected of him. But he was sent down. Brendan McKay
Speaker 1: comes up, Um, and they still do have these openers
Speaker 1: on the team. So it just feels like Jalen Beak
Speaker 1: is one of these guys that has been owned and
Speaker 1: dropped by like multiple people throughout like the same league.
Speaker 1: In deeper leagues al only fifteen team leagues but for
Speaker 1: the most part he has provides provided solid E R
Speaker 1: A and whip ratios, not doesn't get a ton of strikeouts,
Speaker 1: he does have five wins on the season. Man, I
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you, you know, I'm trying to find
Speaker 1: pitching right now and in fifteen team leaves, like the
Speaker 1: starters that were available are are you know Adam Wayne
Speaker 1: right to the world Andrew Cashner's It's like, I don't
Speaker 1: really want to fool around with that. And I figured,
Speaker 1: you know, if I could get three, four five innings
Speaker 1: a week out of like a jail in Beaks when
Speaker 1: he comes back, if he comes back, and that's a
Speaker 1: little bit more valuable. What have you seen on Beaks?
Speaker 1: Why was he sent down exactly from for the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay race. I believe he was sent down because of
Speaker 1: that eighteen inning uh mammoth never ending game or whatever
Speaker 1: on too versus the Twins. And he's a guy that pictures,
Speaker 1: you know, multiple innings as the follower when he gets
Speaker 1: the opportunity. I'm with you. I would have been in
Speaker 1: on Beach. I put some bigs in on this week.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I did not win him. I like him. I
Speaker 1: think the role he has is uh, fantasy friendly, you know,
Speaker 1: coming in after the opener for the most part, and
Speaker 1: pitching you know, four or five innings after that, whatever
Speaker 1: it may be, which differs. So I don't think he's
Speaker 1: down for long. I think he'll be a key cog
Speaker 1: if they are to make the playoffs. Now is the
Speaker 1: time to pick him up. At did a good job
Speaker 1: by you? Well, thank you man. I feel like every
Speaker 1: week I come in here, Matt like some reassurance, like, Frank,
Speaker 1: You're gonna be alright, man. You've made some good pickups.
Speaker 1: So I I do appreciate that You're some pictures that
Speaker 1: that were added for slightly more money than jaylen Beach.
Speaker 1: You say, Cacuchi, he's been got off. I mean he's
Speaker 1: it's just been a complete disaster over the past like
Speaker 1: month or two really his whole season, but he went
Speaker 1: through a stretch where he pitched well and then really
Speaker 1: like the month of June just really really fell off
Speaker 1: bad here and I actually had like a two dollar
Speaker 1: bid on him, but I also had a two bid
Speaker 1: on Beaks, and Cacuchi went for a little bit more money.
Speaker 1: Daniel pons dal Leon, who I spoke about, just it
Speaker 1: was like a Cocuchi in my twelve team holy was dropped.
Speaker 1: I mean he was dropped in a fifteen teamer crazy,
Speaker 1: So I've really competitive fifteen team league. So that tells
Speaker 1: you exactly how bad he's been awful he has been
Speaker 1: on the seat. Look, I mean, I'll pull up the
Speaker 1: e r A in the whip. It's just five point
Speaker 1: one to e r A one point five one whip.
Speaker 1: It's been a disaster for Cocuchi. Daniel poncet Leon went
Speaker 1: for thirteen bucks. I really don't have enough money it's
Speaker 1: spent on him, and there wasn't even a backup bid.
Speaker 1: As I've said about pons Leon, I think you could
Speaker 1: stream him in the right matchups, but um, for the
Speaker 1: most part, he's someone that relies on his fastball heavily,
Speaker 1: and I think that might catch up on him and
Speaker 1: Vince of Alaska's Greg. I mean, look, we we had
Speaker 1: a funeral for Finns of Alaska's fantasy value on this show.
Speaker 1: You know, damn straight, I wasn't bidding on him if
Speaker 1: I'm not using him against the Miami Marlins last week,
Speaker 1: and he gave up four earned runs against them. I
Speaker 1: don't know when you're ever going to use in Alaska.
Speaker 1: So I mean that's just an example of some of
Speaker 1: the pictures that were available. There's Slim Pickens, I lost
Speaker 1: Frankie Mantas, I lost Pablo Lopez, and you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to find someone who can help the E
Speaker 1: R A and the whip ratio. So I'm hoping that
Speaker 1: at Jalen Beaks's back sooner rather than later. I'm also
Speaker 1: stashing Mitch Keller, hoping that he's back to him too,
Speaker 1: and I love I know it hasn't translated yet on
Speaker 1: the big league level, but this kid has talent. Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: is going to have him in that rotation in the
Speaker 1: second half. I was even bidding on him again this week.
Speaker 1: I've accumulated quite a arsenal of Mitch Keller shares, so
Speaker 1: I'm all in on this kid, and I think it
Speaker 1: will pay off. And he went down, and he's been
Speaker 1: pitching really well since he went down. Man, I saw
Speaker 1: he had like a fifteen strikeout game in the minor
Speaker 1: leagues once he got sent back down. So I think
Speaker 1: he's made three or four starts and for the most part,
Speaker 1: he's pitched really well. You really want to see him
Speaker 1: harness his command and you know, not walk as many guys.
Speaker 1: That's something he's really struggled with at the minor league level.
Speaker 1: But since he's got sent down, he's he's pitched really well.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you man. I think second half
Speaker 1: we probably see a lot of Mitch Keller and in
Speaker 1: these deeper leagues fifteen teamers, and only now is the
Speaker 1: time to be stashing him. Absolutely, absolutely Mitch Keller. Um.
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get a shot in the second half.
Speaker 1: I've read rumors of Jordan Lyles being traded and I
Speaker 1: think they want him to succeed and it has not
Speaker 1: been successful. But as Mass says, he's stashing him, You're
Speaker 1: stashing him. That's what we gotta do. And hope at
Speaker 1: this time of year now, going away from the starters.
Speaker 1: One person that Florio pitched to us that you've been
Speaker 1: on in your main event was down ex Smith for
Speaker 1: the match, and I think he talks about him a
Speaker 1: little bit last week about how he was able to
Speaker 1: receive it. Every day playing time he could have some success.
Speaker 1: You've been on him here, are you're expecting that every
Speaker 1: day playing time to arrive? I hope. So I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that you know what he's done so far in the
Speaker 1: month of June for the Men. It was enough for
Speaker 1: him to earn somewhat regular every day at bed time. Mean,
Speaker 1: does he need to be own in twelve team leagues, No,
Speaker 1: but anything deeper than that. You know, the Skills have
Speaker 1: been there for him and he's betting three twenty eight
Speaker 1: so far this year with a five nineties slug and
Speaker 1: ops over a thousand on the season, eight home runs,
Speaker 1: twenty nine runs scored, striking out much less than he
Speaker 1: has in in other and in his other um stints
Speaker 1: in the major leagues. Strikeout right this year percent walk great.
Speaker 1: You know, when he's been in the lineup, he's hit
Speaker 1: near the top of the lineup here. I don't really necessarily,
Speaker 1: uh expect. I wouldn't put him in the lineup this week.
Speaker 1: They only have five games this week for the Mets,
Speaker 1: so I picked him up and I'm hoping that he
Speaker 1: gets every day at Batson. That the Skills have been
Speaker 1: their former top prospect. It seems like it just took
Speaker 1: him longer than it was expected. And obviously they have
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso, so he can't really blame the Mets for that.
Speaker 1: But you know, they don't care about defense. He's been
Speaker 1: playing in the outfield, so I'm just hoping that the
Speaker 1: skills are there and that they give him some every
Speaker 1: day playing time moving forward, Matt, did you have any
Speaker 1: interest in Dominic Smith or you probably more so on
Speaker 1: the side that he's not gonna get enough consistent playing
Speaker 1: time that's worth owning. No, I think you said it right.
Speaker 1: In fifteen team leagues, he's a guy that should be owned.
Speaker 1: I've had him on a couple of teams for the
Speaker 1: like two weeks ago. I started getting him for basically nothing.
Speaker 1: I think you hit like four homers in the last
Speaker 1: six games or something like that. I think the Mets
Speaker 1: will play him every day in the second half. As
Speaker 1: you said, it's not even about the defense anymore. This
Speaker 1: team needs offense and or I wouldn't be shocked if
Speaker 1: the Mets turned around and trade him at some point
Speaker 1: for a piece stay deems necessary going forward, being that
Speaker 1: he really doesn't have a true position on this team
Speaker 1: and real quick, a guy that I did get a
Speaker 1: couple of ships back on this week who I think
Speaker 1: is gonna be in a platoon and if he ever
Speaker 1: falls into regular bats again this season, Garrett Hampson. I
Speaker 1: got him for like six seven dollars and a couple
Speaker 1: of spots. That speed is just too good, too valuable
Speaker 1: he plays in that park. I know he failed miserably
Speaker 1: to this point of the season, but there's still a
Speaker 1: whole second half, the whole second half for Garrett Hampson,
Speaker 1: and hopefully things will work out for him this time around. Frank,
Speaker 1: you also listed a couple of I guess secondary catchers
Speaker 1: people could pick up, Rancisco, Travis Darnol. Anything special about
Speaker 1: these guys. Yeah, I like Francisco more than I like
Speaker 1: Travis Darnau. I ended up getting Travis Darnau in the
Speaker 1: main event just because I don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: money left and I don't really want to invest much
Speaker 1: in in second catchers. But Rancisco is someone who popped
Speaker 1: off a little bit over the weekend. You know, he
Speaker 1: hit home runs, and back to back days he had
Speaker 1: a five RBI game. He's really mashing since he's come
Speaker 1: back to the Major. He's got a forty six percent
Speaker 1: hard hit rate, thirty nine percent flyball rate, and only
Speaker 1: fifteen games he's got four home runs, fourteen r b
Speaker 1: i s still strikes out a decent amount, So I'm
Speaker 1: not really expecting much batting average, but you know the
Speaker 1: fact that he hits and came in yards. He was
Speaker 1: batting clean up for the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend,
Speaker 1: so he's gonna have some RBI opportunities if you need
Speaker 1: a second catcher. You know, Josh Fegley has really you know,
Speaker 1: fallen off. I know a lot of people picked him up,
Speaker 1: so I dropped him. A couple of weeks ago, I
Speaker 1: picked up Williams as studio who got hurt landed on
Speaker 1: the I L So I needed a second catcher, and
Speaker 1: I was looking into some of these names. Travis Darnault
Speaker 1: and Chances Go make a lot of sense, U matimo
Speaker 1: any chances Go shares um. I feel like he's in
Speaker 1: a good spot here hitting in the middle of the
Speaker 1: Baltimorereal's lineup. No, I agree, he is in a good spot. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's never been a guy up until now that's been
Speaker 1: able to translate it from either spring training or the
Speaker 1: minor leagues. But he should have a clear path pretty
Speaker 1: much the rest of the season. You know, Chevarino will
Speaker 1: get some play in there here and there, but this
Speaker 1: is a rebuilding team. You know, probably the worst team,
Speaker 1: Uh not probably they are. Know he's gonna get the
Speaker 1: opportunities and you know, when you're hitting in the heart
Speaker 1: of the lineup rbrs, you're gonna fall into your laps.
Speaker 1: And one thing real quick about the catchers this year, Yes,
Speaker 1: the second catcher options have actually turned out pretty damn nice.
Speaker 1: Like I got Roberto Perez a couple of weeks back.
Speaker 1: We're just a couple of bucks and a lot of spots,
Speaker 1: and you know that guy has been a godsend. You
Speaker 1: look at all these other everybody's got ten home runs
Speaker 1: or more so you have. They're not giving you the
Speaker 1: the average. You're getting power and stuff. So I think,
Speaker 1: you know, shout out to the catchers. Yeah, and I'll
Speaker 1: pick you back off that. You know, we own Christian
Speaker 1: Vaskis in one league to Greg and you know he's
Speaker 1: he's been a consent as a second catcher to actually
Speaker 1: hitting for decent batting average and uh and a little
Speaker 1: bit of pop. So yeah, Madimo, you're right about that, man.
Speaker 1: I mean, for the most part, you know, Josh Fegley
Speaker 1: was helping us for a large majority of the season.
Speaker 1: I'll never forgetting had like that a RB I game
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. I actually had that in the lineup,
Speaker 1: so lucked out there. But for the most part, you know,
Speaker 1: second catchers. You know, if you drafted like Omar Nurvaiez
Speaker 1: as your second catcher, I mean he's my first catcher
Speaker 1: and a few too catcher leagues. But I mean he's
Speaker 1: been really, really good so far this year for the
Speaker 1: Mariner as well. So yeah, you're right, Mattie Moo. We
Speaker 1: don't normally do this. Shout out to the catchers, especially
Speaker 1: the second catchers out there. Greggy, this one's for you,
Speaker 1: second catcher's out there. This one is Gus, a real
Speaker 1: man of genius exactly, the Taco salad one to the
Speaker 1: second catchers out there. The Josh Beagley's man of genius
Speaker 1: coming up next. The two star pitches that you should
Speaker 1: be starting in the two star pitchers you should be avoiding.
Speaker 1: There's much more in one category than the other. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about it next. I had great results. I lost
Speaker 1: seventy pounds my way to sixty five and went down
Speaker 1: to my doctor told me, if it works for you,
Speaker 1: then do it. But a lot of people say to me,
Speaker 1: I would you lose the weight I said, I take
Speaker 1: Andrew four hundred everything. I'm gonna take it forever. That
Speaker 1: was Walt talking about Andrew four hundred. Now listen to
Speaker 1: what Bob has to say. When you listen to a
Speaker 1: radio commercials, you say that's not possible. But since I've
Speaker 1: experienced it, your commercials aren't strong enough. I am seventy
Speaker 1: and I've had a belly for way too long. My

Speaker 1: was you lik in the next offseason? Yeah? Him and
Speaker 1: Bobby Marks both tweeted that they liked the Knicks offseason
Speaker 1: at the exact same time they do. Man, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: wonder if you know someone paid them off or told
Speaker 1: them to do that to make the Knicks fans feeling.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think so, man, I don't think.
Speaker 1: Who is your Bobby Marks exactly? They at the exact
Speaker 1: same time, Craig friends, so they share the same thoughts.
Speaker 1: They really think that the Knicks had a good off season.
Speaker 1: I don't think he said that had a good offs Hey,
Speaker 1: you guys, I don't know if you saw, but Darren
Speaker 1: Rovelle U Sports Book USA made Knicks the favorite to
Speaker 1: win the Summer League. We did, we did see that.
Speaker 1: Look at that. At least they'll be good at something, Alex.
Speaker 1: That's all we can ask for. Their entire actual team
Speaker 1: is basically their summer league team. So R J. Barrack,
Speaker 1: Kevin Knox, Ms Robinson, it's gonna be great. You wanna
Speaker 1: you wanna get a early look at the New York Knickerbockers.
Speaker 1: Watch the Summer League this Friday night against the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Pelicans. Summer weak actually starts tonight. Greig Comane and
Speaker 1: the Grizzlies are an next tonight, but not the Vegas
Speaker 1: really right, it's like Salt Lake City or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just Kidding's like this is on whiteside trade though,
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool. It's on white side to the Blazers.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't really like it. I'm a
Speaker 1: use of nurkic guy. At least he's hurt, man, there
Speaker 1: is knee injury. I thought that they would have been
Speaker 1: in on Kevin Love. I thought that made more sense.
Speaker 1: Greg the Blazer should have been in on Kevin Love.
Speaker 1: A stretch four for that team would have been great.
Speaker 1: But now they basically tied up their cap space. So
Speaker 1: it's amazing. The boy the way Bobby portis is a
Speaker 1: quote professional player, now professional player after knocking someone out,
Speaker 1: Merritage who broke he broke his jaw, and now Mirritage
Speaker 1: is playing in like Barcelona. Yeah, which is another weird day.
Speaker 1: Maybe so maybe is not is the bad guy here?
Speaker 1: May is just awesome? Probably not. I I actually interviewed
Speaker 1: him once with the King Scott angle Is. Yeah, was
Speaker 1: he this guy? He was nice? He was kind of
Speaker 1: he was quiet, quiet dude. That yeah, that's right. I
Speaker 1: respected old and body portas the days. These days, he's
Speaker 1: probably like twenty six, twenty four. Even Julius Randab let's go.
Speaker 1: You can never have too many power forwards. Greg As

Speaker 1: now Rhoto Experts dot com. Great. Before we get into
Speaker 1: the two star pitchers, I did want to throw a
Speaker 1: name out there quickly and get some thoughts from Matt
Speaker 1: Modica because he very briefly mentioned him earlier on in
Speaker 1: the show and actually spoke about one of the players
Speaker 1: that this effects, which Eve Overminer of CBS, when he
Speaker 1: spoke about Will Myers. And you know, is Will Myers
Speaker 1: drobable because he's basically not starting anymore? And that's because
Speaker 1: Manuel Marco has been starting and he has ten stelen
Speaker 1: basis on the season and has been playing better as
Speaker 1: of late. And he started, let's see here six six
Speaker 1: games in a row with with Will Myers basically taking
Speaker 1: a back seat. Um Man, what do you like about
Speaker 1: Manuel Margot? I mean does Look there's a former top
Speaker 1: prospect that hasn't necessarily worked out for him yet. I
Speaker 1: know you were on him last year during draft season. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, modest power speed combination. But I think there's
Speaker 1: something here, especially now that you know Will Myers is
Speaker 1: basically getting benched. Yeah, first off, let's wish everybody happy
Speaker 1: Canada Day. Yes, here's a game starting at one oh five,
Speaker 1: so make sure you're getting a lot of upset. Look, Mirgo,
Speaker 1: he is a guy that's got speed. He has tremendous speed.
Speaker 1: It's it's you know something last year he couldn't capitalize.
Speaker 1: You have like close success. Ray, He's been much better
Speaker 1: this year. He's not running like one of the Rabbits run.
Speaker 1: But we'll see they need a defensive center fielder, so
Speaker 1: that's why he's getting the playing time. Uh, maybe Will
Speaker 1: Myers gets moved. Somebody in the outfields gotta get traded.
Speaker 1: And prior to the season, it was more Go and
Speaker 1: Frenchy Cordero that I was taking a shot on either
Speaker 1: or hoping one of them was the everyday center fielder,
Speaker 1: especially when you've got guys like Framiel Rays on the
Speaker 1: Rentfro and look, even we gotta do some credit here
Speaker 1: to Eric Hosmer who's batting three or four on the
Speaker 1: season where he's batting over three. So I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot to like. It's an up and coming team.
Speaker 1: So Mr gu is a guy that I got in
Speaker 1: a couple of places surprisingly for like three dollars. I
Speaker 1: thought he'd be a little more um of a person
Speaker 1: of interest this week. Yeah, I ended up with one
Speaker 1: share of of Manny Marco as well. I'm with you, man,
Speaker 1: I mean chief speed. Everyone's trying to find stolen bases obviously, um,
Speaker 1: and I think that's uh, you get some of that
Speaker 1: with Manny Margot, he's batting lower in the lineup, but
Speaker 1: you know the Potteri's lineup has actually been pretty good.
Speaker 1: Look for Nano Tatis has been amazing. You're right, Eric Cosmer.
Speaker 1: You know pretty much everyone wrote them off for dead
Speaker 1: before the season. You know, what does this guy do
Speaker 1: for fantasy baseball? Well, you know what, Eric Cosmer is
Speaker 1: someone that performs in odd years. So remember that next
Speaker 1: year and make sure that you don't draft him because
Speaker 1: will not be the year of Eric Cosmer. What's up?
Speaker 1: Matt Frank. By the way, I want to give you
Speaker 1: a shout out for looking like a pit the other
Speaker 1: night on TV. Good job. I appreciate that. You know.
Speaker 1: I walked over, not walked over, but I took the
Speaker 1: train with with Greggy over there and then walked over
Speaker 1: to the CBS studio in ninety degree weather in that suit,
Speaker 1: and um it was it was interesting. I was sweating
Speaker 1: places I didn't know you could sweat. So we took
Speaker 1: the train of town together and I was just venting
Speaker 1: the Frank. It is a really tough day year last Friday,
Speaker 1: and Frank just looked at me and a lot of times,
Speaker 1: to be fair, it's him bitching to me and I
Speaker 1: you know, I listened to that. Frank was listen to me.
Speaker 1: He's like, you know what, you just need a cold beer?
Speaker 1: Like you know what? You are right? You are absolutely right, Frank,
Speaker 1: would you like it cold beer as well as like
Speaker 1: I would? I gotta go home and be on CBS.
Speaker 1: So also job of course by Frank Stafeld. There Um,
Speaker 1: let's take to the two start pitchers gentlemen from this week,
Speaker 1: and let's talk about the guys to trust. I want
Speaker 1: to start with Matt Strom for San Diego. We expected
Speaker 1: I expected to me to start pitcher facing the Giants
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers. You're not so sure, Matt, No, I'm
Speaker 1: not so sure. The reason why is I have dona
Speaker 1: can't say his name is penciled in for a thought
Speaker 1: versus those Dodgers, which would give the logan Alan the
Speaker 1: to start week and not Matt Stram. I speculated last
Speaker 1: week on Shane Bieber getting the two starts and Matt
Speaker 1: Adam Pluco. That one seemed to work out, So I'm
Speaker 1: I'm going again here, And if you're a Matt dream owner,
Speaker 1: that probably works out in your favor. I don't like
Speaker 1: even though he's left it. I don't like the matchup
Speaker 1: versus the dog I would agree, like enjoy that one
Speaker 1: star start against San Francisco. Yeah, so you know, instead
Speaker 1: of getting a mixed bag of a week out a
Speaker 1: match stro and you could potentially just get a quality
Speaker 1: start or something better than that against the San Francisco
Speaker 1: Giants and then he was not going to face the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: But it looks like Logan Allen is going to get
Speaker 1: that two start a week again, you really like to
Speaker 1: start against San Francisco. If he could just survive against
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, then I think that you will take that
Speaker 1: and put out the poll before the show asking Logan Allen,
Speaker 1: Matt Strong, who now we know it's not or we don't.
Speaker 1: We have a question one marks. We have question marks
Speaker 1: about whether he's gonna be a two starter. Tyler Malley
Speaker 1: and Nick Pavetta and Matt you voted for Nick Pavetta
Speaker 1: your boy at Atlanta and at the New York Mets.
Speaker 1: I know the Mets have have been a disaster, but
Speaker 1: they've actually hit the ball like decently well. Um and
Speaker 1: Atlanta Braves, you know that they were like one of
Speaker 1: the hottest offenses in the month of June. So how
Speaker 1: worried are you about getting Nick Pavetta Pavetta in there
Speaker 1: this week and it's two start week. Well, I went
Speaker 1: with Pavetta here for the upside. Uh. Look, the first
Speaker 1: three starts coming back where phenomenals like the promise was
Speaker 1: being delivered upon, and then the last three starts is like,
Speaker 1: we know why this guy got demoted. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go upside here over Logan Allen. I do like Logan
Speaker 1: Allen the rest of season. I think he remains in
Speaker 1: this Padres rotation. He's a guy that had been on
Speaker 1: everywhere last weekend but got shut out unfortunately. So if
Speaker 1: you own Logan Allen, I think you're in good hands.
Speaker 1: Going forward with the Dodger stock is not ideal. So
Speaker 1: but I'm taking a shot on Pavetta and hopefully Upside
Speaker 1: wins out. It'swords mentioning that he has faced Nick Pavetta
Speaker 1: has faced the Mets and the Braves, and two of
Speaker 1: his last three starts, so they have seen him recently.
Speaker 1: Both of these starts are on the road. I'm a
Speaker 1: little bit more scared about this one. Great Like in
Speaker 1: a twelve team league, I don't think I would be
Speaker 1: able to do it. When it comes to Nick Pavetta.
Speaker 1: You know, if you're really really desperate for strikeouts in
Speaker 1: a fifteen teamer I know we normally say, you know,
Speaker 1: if you can't start a guy on a two star
Speaker 1: week in a fifteen team league, he's probably not worth owning.
Speaker 1: So there, if you need strikeouts, I could see it.
Speaker 1: But it also wouldn't surprise me if Nick Povetta ends
Speaker 1: up hurting you twice this week, with both starts being
Speaker 1: on the road and the fact that both offenses have
Speaker 1: seen him recently. Greg, he only has one start this week,
Speaker 1: but you how him on a bid list for g
Speaker 1: d D. I want to picking him up more. Ivanova
Speaker 1: facing the Tigers. Look, normally I don't recommend ivan Nova,
Speaker 1: And when when I texted you our bids last night,
Speaker 1: I said, look, please don't kill me. I have a
Speaker 1: bid in on Ivanova. But he's facing the Detroit Tigers.
Speaker 1: And you know, if there are three teams that you
Speaker 1: want to stream against, to me, it's the Giants, the Marlins,
Speaker 1: the Detroit Tigers. Maybe you throw the White Sox in
Speaker 1: that mix as well, but really the Tigers, the Marlins,
Speaker 1: and the Giants, And uh, we're just looking at matchups there. Man,
Speaker 1: it's it's Ivanova for God, let's go. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I'll throw his name out there as a single
Speaker 1: star pitcher. Uh. You know, I also mentioned a few
Speaker 1: more single starts that I like. On on Friday A
Speaker 1: where Dakota Hudson at San Francisco against the Giants. I
Speaker 1: know his last start out he was not good at all.
Speaker 1: You he was quite bad in fact, Julio Tehran against
Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins, and then Annibal Santans against the Miami
Speaker 1: Marlins as well. So there, you know there's four single
Speaker 1: start pitchers. Obviously I would rank Evan over the last
Speaker 1: of that group. A few more two starters here, but
Speaker 1: you know I included Tyler Malley in this. He's going
Speaker 1: up against the Brewers and the Cleveland Indians. This this
Speaker 1: one's like another mixed bags. It's not a great to
Speaker 1: start week for pictures. But but Mally has been inconsistent.
Speaker 1: He's shown some flashes this year of him pitching. Well, Uh,
Speaker 1: would you trust him in a fifteen team or against
Speaker 1: the Brewers and and the Cleveland Indians both starts at
Speaker 1: home in the Great American Smallpark. Uh. For me, it's
Speaker 1: basically on teams where my ratios aren't my first concern
Speaker 1: anymore and I just need volume. Look, he's got the
Speaker 1: strikeout at any or just over that, but I don't
Speaker 1: think it's sustainable. He's got you percent strikeout percentage with
Speaker 1: just about a nine percent swinging strike rate. Those numbers
Speaker 1: don't add up to me. Uh, He's been a little
Speaker 1: better at home and stuff. But if you look, Dee,
Speaker 1: if you do a deeper dive, the extrap is telling
Speaker 1: you a different story. For me, it's a volume play
Speaker 1: in a deep league only. Yeah, I think that makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Worth mentioning Zack Gallen as well
Speaker 1: at Washington at Atlanta this week, I would. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's really available in any leagues, but you know
Speaker 1: I would try to get him uh in my line up,
Speaker 1: even though both starts on the road normally. You know,
Speaker 1: I like the Marlins pitchers more so when they're at home.
Speaker 1: UM and the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves could be
Speaker 1: scarier times. But look, if you picked up Zack Gallen
Speaker 1: for as much money as he went for, I don't
Speaker 1: think he's on your bench this week for those two starters. Man,
Speaker 1: is there anyone else that we haven't mentioned that you're
Speaker 1: excited about this week or you're taking a shot on.
Speaker 1: I mean there's Trevor Williams, Chase Anderson, Ariel Urado, Uh,
Speaker 1: Dylan Bundy, the Shark, Jeff so Margin. Any of these
Speaker 1: names interest you. Oh. I thought Dylan Bundy was gonna
Speaker 1: be someone I would recommend this week. But when I
Speaker 1: did the research, I said, uh no, no, go on
Speaker 1: him for the fact that at at tropic kind of field,
Speaker 1: he he has a career like eight e r A.
Speaker 1: He has a career five year a Roger Center. I
Speaker 1: know he spits better of Late and the Orioles pictures.
Speaker 1: You got Means and Catchinger that once I was just
Speaker 1: an ultimate avoid. There are guys you can play in
Speaker 1: at a certain times stream, but I'm gonna pass on
Speaker 1: Bundy here. I mean, I don't think you could start
Speaker 1: Trevor Williams again, and that's just a volume play. It's
Speaker 1: just too difficult right now, come back after the after
Speaker 1: the break. His two starts eleven eleven and two thirds
Speaker 1: innings eleven runs kind of scares me there. Uh, Jack Flaherty,
Speaker 1: I know if you own him, you have to start him.
Speaker 1: I I was very high on him. He's been very disappointed.
Speaker 1: Team uh tied for the National League lead in home
Speaker 1: runs with eighteen. It's gotta get better. I'm really hoping
Speaker 1: for a strong second half. But somebody that's been a
Speaker 1: huge disappointment, So Marser I stay away from. And lastly,
Speaker 1: I mean you Darvish pitch much better in the month
Speaker 1: of June. Look at it's pretty much pitched the cinematic
Speaker 1: endings each month, but the walks are drastantly down and
Speaker 1: if he can cap some home runs, maybe it's possible
Speaker 1: strong second half of weeks. And there you go. That
Speaker 1: is Matt Modica. He's from the athletic He can follow
Speaker 1: him at CCN Baseball. Matt, we appreciate the time. We'll
Speaker 1: do again in our new time slot next week. So
Speaker 1: I'm getting a player of guys. Will be a new hat.
Speaker 1: The Bills hat will be back in rookie all right,
Speaker 1: love it, absolutely love it. Come up next, it's out
Speaker 1: the window is Sean Gossamakia. He'll talk some football and
Speaker 1: no doubt some NBA coverage as well. Seanstacia out the window,
Speaker 1: he's next. Frank, how do with the Vets? Last week?
Speaker 1: But I still haven't calculated it. But you ended up
Speaker 1: going three for three three three three n three, Yes,
Speaker 1: so you ended up breaking even. I was two and
Speaker 1: four going into Friday, and I believe the pick that
Speaker 1: I gave out was under seven and a half in
Speaker 1: that Mets and Braves game, and I think that they
Speaker 1: went slightly over if I'm correct. Yeah, the game intd
Speaker 1: six to two. Of course it ended six to two,
Speaker 1: so I went to in five. Hopefully it gets better, Greg,
Speaker 1: it's a new week, man, new week, new hope, let's
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, it's a it's a chance to uh
Speaker 1: start over here, Greg. What you do a little bit better?
Speaker 1: What you got to do a little better. Here's what
Speaker 1: I'm looking at. You're just talking about him a second ago,
Speaker 1: and I realized that the Pittsburgh Pirates are home. But
Speaker 1: I don't really trust Trevor Williams. Adbert Owsla has pitched
Speaker 1: decently well since he's been up, and I just, frankly,
Speaker 1: I trust the Cubs line up a little bit more
Speaker 1: than I do the Pittsburgh Pirates. I understand the game
Speaker 1: is in Pittsburgh and it's a rookie on the road here,
Speaker 1: and adburt Ow's lay you don't know how many endings
Speaker 1: he's necessarily going to go, but you're getting I suspect
Speaker 1: a better team, a better baseball team at at nearly
Speaker 1: even value at minus one fourteen. So I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Cubs money line, Greg, thanks the favorite in the
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs for me. I look at this Red Brewers games,
Speaker 1: Tyler Molly against Adrian Houser. This one is a toss up,
Speaker 1: but game rends. He is kind of just plugged it
Speaker 1: into my head that you want the Reds under all
Speaker 1: the time. The over runther tonight, Adrian Houser and Tyler
Speaker 1: Molly's ten and I will go under that number of
Speaker 1: ten runs between the Reds and the Brewers from Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: and it was two high powered offenses. We'll see. Let's
Speaker 1: get under that ten number here, Frankie already. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it is a trend. That's something that Gabe has
Speaker 1: paid a lot of attention to. Uh and the Reds
Speaker 1: have actually gotten a lot better pitching this season than
Speaker 1: was expected, even though the games in great American small park,
Speaker 1: they've they've pitched pretty well. So let me let me
Speaker 1: ask ask you this. It's another name we have not
Speaker 1: talked about but Adrian Houser was just moved into the
Speaker 1: room tation for the Brewers. Jimmy Nelson headed out of
Speaker 1: the rotation. He's had a really nice year out of
Speaker 1: the bullpen. Hapernin is very very good. Ear A, fip,
Speaker 1: all that stuff looks good. Walks a lot of guys.
Speaker 1: Is there any interest in Adrian Houser has a pickup?
Speaker 1: I saw some people picking him up. You know, for
Speaker 1: the most part, he hasn't really had a good minor
Speaker 1: league career. That doesn't necessarily mean that he can't be
Speaker 1: good at the major league level. But so far this year,
Speaker 1: I mean at Triple A he made four starts and
Speaker 1: at one point to seven ear A in the PCL,
Speaker 1: and you're right, He's made seventeen appearances this season at
Speaker 1: the major league level. Um with the only three of
Speaker 1: those starts and four team relief appearances. He's sneaky. I
Speaker 1: just I really don't like the walks. The whip is
Speaker 1: still kind of questionable. One point three four pitches in
Speaker 1: Miller Park. You know, maybe in a deeper league you
Speaker 1: take a shot, but in twelve teamers, I don't think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get involved in that. Greig, Yeah, I tend
Speaker 1: to agree with you as league right now, I wait
Speaker 1: and see approach. The minor league numbers, Like you said,
Speaker 1: Frank aren't exactly stellar by any means. He's pitched well
Speaker 1: this year, though, so I think it's worth winning and
Speaker 1: seeing Kim Wan your radar? Is that cool? Yeah? That's fair?
Speaker 1: All right? What Matt modique for joining us? I want
Speaker 1: to think everybody downstairs for their help. Every fun show today,
Speaker 1: very good show today, So let's try to make it
