Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Did let
Speaker 1: me just become best friends? Young Fantasy best Friends forever?
Speaker 1: Our number two here in the Fantasy best Friends Forever
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio at work. I don't do that, Chris,
Speaker 1: come on, man like, yes, yes, I've got nothing. Greg,
Speaker 1: I forgot. You forgot forget things? Come on, you forgot that.
Speaker 1: We're on camera, the same camera we use every day. Forgot?
Speaker 1: Come on, relax, let's relax over here. What do we professionals? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd like to think we are. Everybody makes mistakes with
Speaker 1: human beings. Come on, I say names wrong? Who cares?
Speaker 1: Who cares? Well? You care? I don't care. That's part
Speaker 1: of the problem. I'd say, well, that's part of your problem.
Speaker 1: The problem I care that you make that you make
Speaker 1: say people's names wrong and walk up ot of cameras,
Speaker 1: walked in front of one. I'm done, I'm done. He's done,
Speaker 1: he's out, and you're gonna you just walked in front
Speaker 1: of the camera again. Venture you weren't all black with
Speaker 1: the Giant's hat. As like a funeral for Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: and their season. He left, he's gone, he's gone. See
Speaker 1: what you did. You bullied, you bully the closer and
Speaker 1: then this is what happens, Greg, he based just pulled
Speaker 1: the tie buttery, he pointed up, he's the undertaker. He
Speaker 1: also pulled the Jesse Winker where he's just waiting to
Speaker 1: the city feel crowd. That was awesome. Great troll move
Speaker 1: by Jesse Winker. Anytime you troll the Mats, it's a
Speaker 1: great troll move. Greg, I wasn't trying to troll them matter.
Speaker 1: Jes speaking of the Mets right now, just hit a
Speaker 1: home run. That was That was great Frank run. You
Speaker 1: know it was a bit of an issue at the moment.
Speaker 1: Blake Snells a bit of an issue. He is a
Speaker 1: bit of an issue. Can't beat the Royals, No, he cannot.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that it's related to the Royals, Greg.
Speaker 1: Is it related to Frank his toe? I think he
Speaker 1: returned too early. You know, shout out to dr A
Speaker 1: and inside injuries. They're gonna be joining us next segment.
Speaker 1: And I'm not just saying this. I agreed with them
Speaker 1: all along. You know, the guy breaks his toe and
Speaker 1: they give him ten days off, it's not enough time.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he's pitching through something right now. Greg.
Speaker 1: I mean, and we say this a lot about the
Speaker 1: top players in any fantasy sport. We would rather that
Speaker 1: player be out longer and come back at full strength.
Speaker 1: Why are you trying to rush this guy back? It
Speaker 1: seems like it was kind of a panic move from
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Look what he was doing his first four
Speaker 1: starts of the season. He was absolutely, absolutely phenomenal, and
Speaker 1: in his past three his best two starts against the
Speaker 1: Royals of all teams. Now, maybe there's a chance of
Speaker 1: Royals just have his number, but I'm not buying into that.
Speaker 1: This guy hasn't gotten past three and a third endings pitched.
Speaker 1: He gave up seven ear and runs last night. He
Speaker 1: only had two strikeouts. That's not Blake Snell. That's not
Speaker 1: the guy that we saw dominating Colorado, dominating all right,
Speaker 1: the White Sox Toronto. You're supposed to dominate those teams.
Speaker 1: Guess what, You're also supposed to dominate the Kansas City Royals.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's healthy. Greg. Bad job by the Rays.
Speaker 1: You know, they're strong organization, and I agree with a
Speaker 1: lot of the things they do. I don't like this
Speaker 1: move here. Don't like it. Maybe he's healthy, and I
Speaker 1: don't think so. After the game anything, I didn't I
Speaker 1: didn't read anything about it, To be honest, I was
Speaker 1: a little incapacitated because I went bowlding last night, incapacitated
Speaker 1: Franks and Beers. I did come home and like try
Speaker 1: and get an updated, you know. I turned on MLB
Speaker 1: Network watch the end of the basketball game, so I
Speaker 1: tried to get my fill in, but there was not
Speaker 1: a lot of basement. I didn't I didn't see anything. Uh,
Speaker 1: Glenn Sparkman picked up his first career win. He went
Speaker 1: seven shine things against the race than your very reactionary.
Speaker 1: That means that must mean you want to pick up
Speaker 1: Glenn Sparkman. I don't. Why not? I don't want Glenn Sparkman.
Speaker 1: Just beat Blakes now, yes, your team. I don't want.
Speaker 1: I don't want Glenn Sparkman at the mold disease. Still
Speaker 1: two bases yesterday, He's up to ten on the season,
Speaker 1: while still adding two terrible numbers for Glenn Sparkman in
Speaker 1: the minors. By the way, you want Glenn Sparkman. Not really.
Speaker 1: I just can't own a guy named Glenn Sparkman. It's
Speaker 1: not a bad name, though, Glenn's Sparkman. He's got two
Speaker 1: ends in his name, the way that you have two geez,
Speaker 1: come on, Greg Glenn spark Vill Sparkman s a in
Speaker 1: the minors. Not doing Glen Sparkman all right, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean modesty has been phenomenal and I don't have any
Speaker 1: shares with him, and it wasn't awesome. I remember when
Speaker 1: we were doing the um the position previews. I liked Adalbert.
Speaker 1: I was actually quite fond of him. But the problem
Speaker 1: is everybody was fond of Adelbertomondacy and it seems like
Speaker 1: he's pretty much picked up exactly where he leaped off
Speaker 1: from last years. The hard hit rate at forty the
Speaker 1: rest of the battaball data looks really good. In fact,
Speaker 1: his line drives are actually up three percent this year,
Speaker 1: So you might be looking at that three bad saying
Speaker 1: there's no way he's gonna sustain at three eight bad. Well,
Speaker 1: he's up the line rate, he's hitting line drives of
Speaker 1: the time, and he's got a forty percent hard hit rate.
Speaker 1: He's sitting. I think he might be able to sustain
Speaker 1: as bad. If this is an extremely fast guy, he's
Speaker 1: actually up the walk great a little bit. Or Homer's seven,
Speaker 1: Ribby's ten stolen bases. The guy's absolutely legit. And I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what, Greg, if he keeps this up, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be someone who climbs into the second round of
Speaker 1: drafts next year. Absolute steel. Adelbert's honestly, I agree, Man,
Speaker 1: he's been great five category production. Is he somebody that
Speaker 1: you can take in the first round? No, not yet
Speaker 1: as of now. No, But if he keeps this up,
Speaker 1: you know, we've we've kind of been hitting the pace
Speaker 1: numbers a lot today. But let's say he steals forty
Speaker 1: bags and it's close to twenty home runs, He's gonna
Speaker 1: be a first round picchnics here, Greg, that's what you wanted.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying. What I'm saying he's also gonna have
Speaker 1: double digit triples. By the way, he's got five. He's
Speaker 1: already got five. Yeah, five triples. That's absurd. Man, still
Speaker 1: striking out at the time. But that's fine, man, if
Speaker 1: you got to strike outcent of the time to give
Speaker 1: us all the other batted ball numbers that you're giving us,
Speaker 1: you know, if you've got to try and swing for
Speaker 1: the fences every time you're up, and you're gonna drink
Speaker 1: out this much, but also give us that hard hit
Speaker 1: rate and that and that line drive rate, I'm fine
Speaker 1: with no problems with me. You're striking out of a time,
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. That's basically that's whom honest he is.
Speaker 1: If that's part of your game, I'm all right with it.
Speaker 1: I think he's going quite well for him. Um. On
Speaker 1: the other side, Jim and Joe had the second home
Speaker 1: run of the year, as did Daniel Robertson for the
Speaker 1: race venture where'd you Gothom? Well, I was on your
Speaker 1: way out. You were in old black today. You got
Speaker 1: the Giant's hat on it. Is this a funeral for
Speaker 1: their season before it starts? Yeah? Oh yeah, this season's
Speaker 1: absolutely lost. Course, done with it. I mean I usually
Speaker 1: watch every Giant game. I don't know about this shoo,
Speaker 1: I don't know turning his back. Well, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I'm just a bandwagon. It's getting fired up across town.
Speaker 1: No jets. That's gonna be good, baby, let's go, would
Speaker 1: be reports to camp, that'd be nice, be good. Um
Speaker 1: so for the brute cre yesterday, but with a bullpen game.
Speaker 1: The other opener, Jacob Barnes, he pitched poorly. Donny Hart
Speaker 1: ppection very well, and then they brought in Corvin Burns
Speaker 1: back up from the minors, looking like he should be
Speaker 1: back in the minors. You got bombed, Frank yesterday. Actually,
Speaker 1: the entire this entire Brewers teams you got wrecked. Person
Speaker 1: has been getting bombed a lot this season overall. Greg, so,
Speaker 1: very consistent theme for him. He did have three strikeouts,
Speaker 1: so it's basically he gets bombed or he gets a strikeout.
Speaker 1: So not a great combination of events there. For Corbin Burns.
Speaker 1: He's got a ten point nine eight e r A
Speaker 1: and I did see an update after this game saying
Speaker 1: that he will remain a reliever. He's not gonna be
Speaker 1: a starting pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers at least for
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. So um, not really any relevance when
Speaker 1: it comes to Corban Burns, not even in deeper leagues,
Speaker 1: not even know only the way he's pitching right now.
Speaker 1: Nolan Arnado went three for five with two more Jimmy
Speaker 1: Jacks is seven and eight home runs of the season.
Speaker 1: His slow start is a distant memory. Now he's been fantastic.
Speaker 1: You also had the eighth home run for Trevor's Story,
Speaker 1: and we have really spoken about chev Story. I feel
Speaker 1: like he's doing exactly what you want him to do, Chris. Yeah,
Speaker 1: almost exactly what you wanted to do it maybe a
Speaker 1: little better too, even Um, but I was gonna say this,
Speaker 1: Rocky seemed very good to see them starting to hit well.
Speaker 1: I want to see them doing this on a more
Speaker 1: consistent basis, because this team could definitely hit now that
Speaker 1: they're fully healthy. I think you'll see it a lot
Speaker 1: more in Story. Yeah, Story is doing exactly we wanted
Speaker 1: to eight homers. He's got the six bags. He's batting,
Speaker 1: uh to seventy nine or something like that. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: perfectly fine. It's perfect. You get closer to eight batting
Speaker 1: average out of Trevor Story and he's actually lowered the
Speaker 1: k rate a little bit more of this season. So
Speaker 1: we lowered it massively from eighteen from to about twenty
Speaker 1: six percent. This year, he's at twenty four point three,
Speaker 1: So continuing the lower of the strikeout rate looks like
Speaker 1: it's part of his matturation problem process. Uh five category production.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe not the batting average, but eight Homer's
Speaker 1: four runs, twenty two r b I, six stolen basis
Speaker 1: exactly what you wanted to Trevor's perfect day. And and
Speaker 1: that's with the lineup being bad in the first month.
Speaker 1: So imagine once they start going never story is gonna
Speaker 1: be a beast man and he's yeah, twenty four run
Speaker 1: scores twenty as he could have. He could have had
Speaker 1: a lot more by now if they were hot as
Speaker 1: a team. You drafted him at the ones who turned.
Speaker 1: You're feeling right, You're feeling quite quite well. Things are.
Speaker 1: Things are going all right for you. No Christian yelling
Speaker 1: in the lap yesterday for Milwaukee. The hope is that
Speaker 1: he gets back in the there this weekend. We'll see.
Speaker 1: We'll see if Yellow played all three games this the weekend,
Speaker 1: Hopefully you left him on the bench for this week.
Speaker 1: Um for the Brewers, we didn't get the Aggie texes
Speaker 1: quickly coming on. My favorite text that I get a
Speaker 1: nightly basis all caps. I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1: Huge fan of Floria. If you're playing in or you're
Speaker 1: playing O B P LEA Gregor would have sent you
Speaker 1: the Aggie text, you would have because he went, oh
Speaker 1: for oh, he walked four times last night, they're getting
Speaker 1: scared little. That's an interesting line. H oh for oh
Speaker 1: four walks, no ri I no run scores. The last
Speaker 1: time we've seen mad I'll take get man insane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty much in line with what he was doing
Speaker 1: so far this year. We were talking about the walk
Speaker 1: crate being up, it's at thirteen and a half percent,
Speaker 1: the k rate being down. Um, the rest of his
Speaker 1: battle ball data, the line drives right in line with
Speaker 1: last year forty fly ball rate uh and the hard
Speaker 1: hit rates starting to climb back up to so shout
Speaker 1: out to Michael Floria. I was a little bit skeptical
Speaker 1: about him keeping the faith with Haese's Agilar because now
Speaker 1: we had a really really rough April when it comes
Speaker 1: when it came to Aglar, but man, he just needed
Speaker 1: that month to switch greggy and ting turn it on.
Speaker 1: It's been a good week. Absolutely four. How imperative is
Speaker 1: it to pick him up if people dropped him feeling
Speaker 1: good about picking him up? You're feeling good about it.
Speaker 1: What do you say if someone dropped Hayes's agilar in
Speaker 1: one of your leagues? How aggresive would you be? I
Speaker 1: would jump on it, you know, especially if I have
Speaker 1: a spot, Like what are you thinking? I could say
Speaker 1: twelve all third team bucks out of out of a hundred.
Speaker 1: I like that, that makes sense. I'm cool with that.
Speaker 1: I tend to overpay the in one of my leagues.
Speaker 1: I have seven dollars left out of a hundred. By
Speaker 1: the way, that is all seven dollars. Yes, yes, I
Speaker 1: know that. He says he's aggressive, say that, but I'm
Speaker 1: happy my team's now finally stacked. I got to Roka
Speaker 1: out of that. I got a lot of good guys
Speaker 1: out of that. Now I'm not I'm not worried about anything. Obviously,
Speaker 1: if a bunch of guys get hurt, then I'll be
Speaker 1: in trouble. But but now it's been it worked out.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of guys that have been valuable
Speaker 1: keeping the faith in you look, Bud. He know's what
Speaker 1: he's doing. He knows what he's doing all right. Up
Speaker 1: next we have the Tigers and the Phillies. We'll give
Speaker 1: you the hour nola check right, because we try to
Speaker 1: follow our nola's see what's going on. Yesterday against the
Speaker 1: Tigers much better than being Blaska's was because he went
Speaker 1: five and two thirds, seven hits, one run, we still
Speaker 1: walk three, was struck out six. Here he comes down
Speaker 1: to five point zero six. On the other hand, you
Speaker 1: have the Detroit Tigers, my man Danny Norris. It was
Speaker 1: five innings against Philly, five intes, one run, he walked one,
Speaker 1: struck out four. Frankie, is this your Nick Vicious all
Speaker 1: over again? Is this your American League Nick Visius? Are
Speaker 1: you picking him up anywhere? No, he doesn't go deeping
Speaker 1: out in games. I could see doing it in Ale
Speaker 1: only just because he has a spot in the rotation.
Speaker 1: Aaron knows. Still got to see those walks come down.
Speaker 1: Just really weird year from him in terms of the walks.
Speaker 1: This is not something that you know, we had concerns
Speaker 1: about last year regarding him. You know, another three walks.
Speaker 1: He now has four starts this season with two plus walks.
Speaker 1: He has three starts with three plus walks, so it
Speaker 1: was good to see the six strikeouts. Overall, pretty good
Speaker 1: start against the Detroit Tigers. Only allows one run, but
Speaker 1: still the whip seven hits plus three walks, that's ten
Speaker 1: total in five and two thirds end. His pitch just
Speaker 1: not enough. And I used him on FANDOL last night.
Speaker 1: He thought he was in a good spoty against the
Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers. With everything that's going on with him, he
Speaker 1: still just has a four point one seven exfit heir
Speaker 1: to his five point zero six ear A. So something's
Speaker 1: been off this year regarding Arno adventure. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: he's this isn't a bad start, though, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: one turned, it's not. It's the Tigers. You know the matchup,
Speaker 1: you're expecting like at least six innings, you know, okay parenting,
Speaker 1: which he did not as many walks. He's walking a
Speaker 1: lot more guys this year, I feel like, giving a
Speaker 1: lot more hits like he was dominant last year, dominant
Speaker 1: like the whole season. I don't know, maybe he's just
Speaker 1: regressing a little bit, and maybe he's not the guy
Speaker 1: he was last year to be for his career. Maybe
Speaker 1: he's more of this guy. But I still think I
Speaker 1: still believe in him being a close to elite type
Speaker 1: picture and I think he'll you know, obviously pitch well
Speaker 1: like this for the most part throughout the season. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty down on no one, man. I'm looking at these numbers.
Speaker 1: I mean, his zone percentage this year, he just can't
Speaker 1: find the strike zone and his zone percentages down five.
Speaker 1: His first strike per image is down. This guy is
Speaker 1: falling behind and counts like this. This wasn't part of
Speaker 1: his game last year. His swinging strike create is down
Speaker 1: four percent. That's massive, all point four percent last year
Speaker 1: for Nolah eight point three percent this year. Weird, weird
Speaker 1: starts of the year for aaronola He's not one of
Speaker 1: these guys that I'm just looking at and saying if
Speaker 1: he if someone's freaking out, you gotta go out and
Speaker 1: try and buy low for him. Right now, underlying numbers
Speaker 1: here for Aaronoah, I'd be a little concerned if I
Speaker 1: own him. Really, I guess a little, But you know,
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna get good. I mean, it's still
Speaker 1: a good start. Even mean he's in the same boat
Speaker 1: as Walker Bueller right now. That's what I would say.
Speaker 1: I say he's above that because Bueller I have concerns
Speaker 1: over both. I think something underlying that that might be
Speaker 1: wrong with Nolah, he's not pitching like himself right now.
Speaker 1: He's pitching better than Bueller right now, not that much better,
Speaker 1: not that much better better. And the fact four point
Speaker 1: one seven xfit let's see what Bueller is. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, they both have ear as that are over five.
Speaker 1: You are four point four zero, So they're really not
Speaker 1: that far off. They're kind of both in the same boom.
Speaker 1: But the thing about Nola is that you have years
Speaker 1: of experience already, right the track records much better. Uh
Speaker 1: So I kind of trust them a little more because that.
Speaker 1: And it's not like like like this lest start was
Speaker 1: was good. It wasn't great, But he's not getting blown
Speaker 1: up in certain starts where he's supposed to pitch well,
Speaker 1: and I'm happy about that. We just want to seem correct.
Speaker 1: These walks obviously have more control over the strike zone,
Speaker 1: and I don't want to give up as many hits
Speaker 1: to seven hits and five and two in a third
Speaker 1: or whatever it was, is too much against Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: This is supposed to be a dominant picture Lions, Detroit Lions,
Speaker 1: the diet hat on Detroit Lions Tigers. If I'm buying
Speaker 1: one of them, I agree with you. I'm more likely
Speaker 1: to buy Aaron Nolah, And I'm a little worried about both. Greg.
Speaker 1: I know I'm a little more worried about Beulah. I
Speaker 1: think I am also am too, just because of equally
Speaker 1: that were about the dead arm during I have that
Speaker 1: from Noah at least. So it's gotta it's gotta worry
Speaker 1: you a little bit more than I do. Have concerns
Speaker 1: over both. Understand it. So oh man, look at like

Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back to the Fantasy Best
Speaker 1: Friends Forever Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Chris Vent right here,
Speaker 1: Frank Stanfell, and we are now being joined by Dr
Speaker 1: a of Inside Injuries, the good doctor. What's going on,
Speaker 1: Doctor Grey? How's everything? Everything's good? Frank? What did I
Speaker 1: scare away? Greg Or? He's in the bathroom. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know where. I'd don't know where he went to
Speaker 1: be honest, But well we'll figure it out. He told
Speaker 1: me handle it and we'll be all right. We'll be
Speaker 1: all right. We're in good hands with you. Dr ray Um.
Speaker 1: We need to start this off obviously, talking about what
Speaker 1: happened yesterday with Corey Klueberg gets hit with a line drive,
Speaker 1: comes out after the game. Originally they were speculating that
Speaker 1: it was a bruise. It comes out that he has
Speaker 1: a fracture in his forearm. Um. How devastating is this injury?
Speaker 1: How long does it take to come back from? Is
Speaker 1: it something that's going to affect him for the rest
Speaker 1: of this season and it affect him past the season?
Speaker 1: What if you guys have regarding Corey Cluber. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: very fact that this is a factor on his throwing
Speaker 1: extremity makes us it really a devastating type of injury.
Speaker 1: Even though a non displaced fracture of a of a
Speaker 1: bone normally just takes you know, if it's non displaced
Speaker 1: four weeks to heal, but four to six weeks. But
Speaker 1: the problem is is that it's on his throwing extremity.
Speaker 1: Is a lot more forces on that on the than
Speaker 1: normal um and that, uh, you know, those two ends
Speaker 1: of bone need to be completely healed. That has to
Speaker 1: be taken very very slowly from a healing standpoint. Um,
Speaker 1: whenever this happens to a throwing extremity of a picture
Speaker 1: um our algorithm is always sort of um very sensitive
Speaker 1: to that, and it's showing fifteen weeks UM August fourteen
Speaker 1: is when he should come back. If he comes back earlier,
Speaker 1: he's taking a big risk according to our algorithm. And
Speaker 1: you know again the biggest thing, it's because it's on
Speaker 1: his throwing extremity. And even though it will be healed
Speaker 1: and probably six weeks maybe seven maximum, uh, the bone
Speaker 1: will be um they may have to give at least
Speaker 1: another four to five to six more weeks to make
Speaker 1: sure that it has healed completely before they put all
Speaker 1: those forces and torqus on it from throwing. We're now
Speaker 1: joined by Great back in studio here. He is Dr
Speaker 1: A And you missed the type table. Greg healthy to
Speaker 1: return date for Corey Kluber mid August disaster disaster. I
Speaker 1: heard you ask me, Doc, I would never miss you.
Speaker 1: I was very concerned, you know, you know what. I've
Speaker 1: been injured, the cast bothering me, but I'm here, and
Speaker 1: how the calf injuries going around Greg always are all right?
Speaker 1: So Corny Cliber's big story. And the other one is
Speaker 1: AJ Pollock doc where a J. Pollock heard his elbow
Speaker 1: as a J. Pollock tends to do with random joints
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden has exploratory surgery to
Speaker 1: reverse something that's in there or something. What does this
Speaker 1: all mean? Yeah? I mean so this is not just
Speaker 1: a simple explanation when you piece it all together. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I mean again, remember what we talked about Aj Pollock
Speaker 1: before the season, and what were the what were the
Speaker 1: famous words I used was you know, uh, he will
Speaker 1: have an injury very soon. I think I said that
Speaker 1: that so um and there's he just has a multitude
Speaker 1: of injuries, and especially previous surgery to that elbow. Um.
Speaker 1: You know more, multiple interventions into one joint will always
Speaker 1: result in an increased chance of infection and um. Even
Speaker 1: though it's probably not reported, a lot of players always
Speaker 1: get injects into a joint for pain relief or for
Speaker 1: other reasons, you know, um. And so this could have
Speaker 1: been introduction of some you know, bacterial or viral type
Speaker 1: of um you know, substance you know, by accident, you know,
Speaker 1: it happens. Infection happens. And anytime you introduce anything into
Speaker 1: the body and so um uh, the likelihood of infection
Speaker 1: gets higher the more intervention you do. And that's what
Speaker 1: happened here, unfortunately. And so when you do explore to surgery,
Speaker 1: you go in because you're looking for you're you're not
Speaker 1: you know, you can't really find a source. But where
Speaker 1: you're you're attacking the infection directly, and so they're instilling
Speaker 1: substances and antibiotics and stuff like that to be able
Speaker 1: to improve the healing process. But you know, um, right now, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, since we're not examining him, the algorithm is
Speaker 1: saying three weeks May twenty one. However, again, it's not
Speaker 1: like he's going to be healthy. It's just probably this
Speaker 1: particular injury may heal. Again, we have him as a
Speaker 1: forty two per cent injury risk, and it's just almost
Speaker 1: like flipping a coin and he was right around before
Speaker 1: this injury and this is going to impact him for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. So you hear that there
Speaker 1: from dry sounds like a J. Pollock when it's all
Speaker 1: said and done. Maybe not from just this injury, but
Speaker 1: with all the occurring injuries, he's gonna miss about forty
Speaker 1: percent of the time this year Greg, which boats very
Speaker 1: well for our guy, Alex Verdugo to its last night,
Speaker 1: stole a base and and a lot of people very
Speaker 1: excited about Alex Verdugo. You know, all those questions that
Speaker 1: Floria was asking us last night, it was actually him
Speaker 1: asking about Alex Verdugo. He picked him up in her
Speaker 1: home league I saw his tweets this morning about it
Speaker 1: and ended up picking him up for thirteen dollars out
Speaker 1: of a hundred, So pretty aggressive there. On Verdugo, I
Speaker 1: had a small bid but didn't really need outfield dr.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about another injury here, Katherine.
Speaker 1: We we were just talking about calf injuries and I
Speaker 1: was not in on Josh Jonathan this year, just because
Speaker 1: he's dealt with so much over the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: He's dealt with the shoulder, He's dealt with one calf,
Speaker 1: now he's dealing with the other calf. Um, how serious
Speaker 1: is is for Josh Johnson because apparently the Braves were
Speaker 1: saying he was close to plane today. So what do
Speaker 1: you guys have on Donaldson? Yeah, I mean this is
Speaker 1: a soft tissue injury. This is not much one week
Speaker 1: recovery for this specific injury. But we had him at
Speaker 1: high injury risk before this particular injury, and he we've
Speaker 1: had him at high injury risk from the beginning of
Speaker 1: the season for the most part. Josh Jenalsen is again
Speaker 1: one of these guys like a j Polack, a multitude
Speaker 1: of injuries. Um, you know, a week to week Again,
Speaker 1: there is almost first virtually a forty six percent chance
Speaker 1: of him getting injured when he takes the field. And
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if as a fantasy player,
Speaker 1: if you like those, but that's what our that is
Speaker 1: what our algorithm is saying, and it makes sense. It's
Speaker 1: because of just the track history that Donaldson has had.
Speaker 1: If Donaldson comes back and has one of these monster
Speaker 1: weeks again, you have to look into selling him. You
Speaker 1: have to agree. I agree, by the way, Just a
Speaker 1: quick up date, so as you know, I have three
Speaker 1: Rockies on my team. We talked about this earlier the
Speaker 1: week right, I have four two on nobody out and
Speaker 1: my Rockies are up back to back to back. That's
Speaker 1: a good feeling. The strikeout, strikeout, strikeout, running into a
Speaker 1: double play that beat it out and then a walk
Speaker 1: No idea, Sorry so annoying. Thank you. We're talking to
Speaker 1: Dr I from inside Injuries here and major story going
Speaker 1: into this week DOCTA was Christian Yelloch in his injury.
Speaker 1: He left the game on Sunday with back soreness. He
Speaker 1: has not played since. It's Thursday. The hope is will
Speaker 1: be ready to go this weekend. How serious is the injury?
Speaker 1: The Christian Yellow two weeks. Uh. This particular back injury
Speaker 1: is grade one is parispinal muscle. Um. Thank thankfully it's
Speaker 1: not a two. Otherwise we are algorithm would think that
Speaker 1: there's some sort of disc problem that's and that you
Speaker 1: know that, and that would have caused a much greater
Speaker 1: o RT. Right now, it's two weeks um, so May
Speaker 1: twelve is what we're talking about. I don't think he
Speaker 1: should return this weekend, specifically because he's an outfielder and
Speaker 1: that causes an additional sensitivity. Uh. To be able to
Speaker 1: track down balls and to be a you know, to
Speaker 1: go from zero to a hundred miles an hour in
Speaker 1: the outfield requires really a healthy back. And um, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, coming back in one week is not the
Speaker 1: right decision. May twelfth is when he should be back.
Speaker 1: That's scary. Is this something that can linger for the
Speaker 1: entirety of the season. When I hear back, it just
Speaker 1: worries me so much. For a baseball player, I mean
Speaker 1: really for any sport, but specifically baseball, it's just so
Speaker 1: much tour goes into swinging the bat, and you play
Speaker 1: every single day, so it's not even like you have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to rest your back. Is this something that
Speaker 1: can linger with him for the rest of the year, well,
Speaker 1: um specifically him, yes, because in fifteen he had this
Speaker 1: problem misstime, and sixteen he had this problem at miss time.
Speaker 1: And he's had multiple flare ups since that point. And
Speaker 1: he's had an oblique strain last year and a hamstring
Speaker 1: and a right hip flexor um the year before, and
Speaker 1: so you know that he's injuring compensatory muscles. He's had
Speaker 1: multiple flare ups, the same specific injuries coming back. Now
Speaker 1: these are ticky tack ones like grade one soft tissue,
Speaker 1: Grade one not really elevating to a grade two. But again,
Speaker 1: you miss time one week here, two weeks here, one
Speaker 1: week here, a two weeks here, and then you look
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. You've missed nine weeks
Speaker 1: of the season. You know so, but if you they
Speaker 1: wait one week, they have a good shot. Wait one
Speaker 1: more week, they have a really good shot of potentially
Speaker 1: having his back not fulair up for at least at
Speaker 1: least four to five weeks. You're scary news. When he
Speaker 1: comes to Christian Yellows, we're speaking with Dr A of
Speaker 1: Inside injuries, and Doc, I don't know if you're a
Speaker 1: big dancer if you've ever tried to do a split.
Speaker 1: But this injury regarding Fernando Tatis on Sunday, Uh, it
Speaker 1: was enough to make any male very squeamish because he
Speaker 1: tries to uh you know, he tries to reach out
Speaker 1: and grab a ball, it ends up doing a full split.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it was a lot to watch.
Speaker 1: It was a lot to handle. But he's dealing with
Speaker 1: a hamstree injury. Um, how long is this going to
Speaker 1: keep him out for? Yeah, I mean it's a grade
Speaker 1: one right now, which thank god like he didn't tear it. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a strain um two week recovery time, specifically because
Speaker 1: it's a short stop requires that type of mobility. So
Speaker 1: May twelve is what we're looking for at this point.
Speaker 1: Right now. He shouldn't come back sooner, mainly because he
Speaker 1: has a high chance of tweaking it too early if
Speaker 1: he comes back, because of the mobility that's required at
Speaker 1: the position. And I think the Potteries are going to
Speaker 1: play it safe here. I think they should. And um,
Speaker 1: you know, not not a bad diagnosis overall there from
Speaker 1: doctor regarding relatively positive when it comes to Toti's talking
Speaker 1: to dr a from Inside Injuries here and DCOR Washington
Speaker 1: Nationals seemingly screwed up this Anthony Rendoin thing pretty annoyingly
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners where he had I believe it was
Speaker 1: an elbow injury of his own, and he came back,
Speaker 1: tried to play through it, could not missed a couple
Speaker 1: of games, and like, you know what, now we'll put
Speaker 1: you on the ile. What injury is this to render?
Speaker 1: And how long should we expect him before he's back
Speaker 1: at full strength? Okay, so this follows a pattern, very
Speaker 1: interesting pattern that we've see. So you get blunt forced trauma,
Speaker 1: which is the ball hitting the l bow. Uh. So
Speaker 1: it causes uh could could cause a bone contusion because
Speaker 1: soft tissue contusion, maybe a small little hematoma uh there.
Speaker 1: But one of the things that's there is a bursa,
Speaker 1: one of the larger versas in the body that you know,
Speaker 1: sort of protects the bone. Uh, and that's probably flared up.
Speaker 1: So they kept him off for five days and then
Speaker 1: uh I played Friday, probably flared up the bursa, and
Speaker 1: so then he was finally placed on I l um
Speaker 1: and so from this now, because it's we consider that
Speaker 1: a um sort of a setback in his recovery, so
Speaker 1: it actually worsens the injury. It was only a soft
Speaker 1: tissue because we thought that it was just a soft
Speaker 1: tissue hematoma. And now it's a Grade one elbow which
Speaker 1: requires two weeks, which requires you know, April and um
Speaker 1: resting until May the nine. Okay, not terrible news. We
Speaker 1: get him back by mid May. I think most people
Speaker 1: would sign up for that. You know, it's not longer.
Speaker 1: It's not a longer term injury here for Anthony Rendon.
Speaker 1: So alright, some good, some bad. Uh. I want to
Speaker 1: ask you about Chris Archer, a picture who I was
Speaker 1: heavily invested on during during the fantasy draft season, and
Speaker 1: he's dealing with inflammation to his right thumb, obviously part
Speaker 1: of his pitching hand. We hear inflammation about all types
Speaker 1: of you know, extremities. I feel like we don't really
Speaker 1: hear very much about the thumb when it comes to
Speaker 1: a starting picture. How does this affect his ability to throw?
Speaker 1: How long will it keep him out? Is this something
Speaker 1: that can linger for the rest of the season. Yes?
Speaker 1: And oh this is um. You know, the thumb is
Speaker 1: a very integral part of uh pictures. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: throwing mechanics and so um you know, right now we
Speaker 1: have it listed as grade one. It doesn't seem to
Speaker 1: be a ligament or tendon tear at this point, so
Speaker 1: that's thankfully, that's really good. But it's only uh soft
Speaker 1: tissue grade one thumb inflammation. But he needs this has
Speaker 1: to be rested completely, has to be rehab slowly because
Speaker 1: multiple flarros will cause uh this to escalate into a
Speaker 1: Great two designation and that requires ten weeks. So right
Speaker 1: now it's three weeks and that scene that's maybe overcautious,
Speaker 1: but the algorithm doesn't lie with statistical data. May eighteenth
Speaker 1: is what we're looking at, Okay, so maybe teen if
Speaker 1: they actually follow that, that that's okay. Right, See theoretically
Speaker 1: the eight if the May eighteenth, that the three weeks
Speaker 1: is being overly cautious via the um the algorithm. Right,
Speaker 1: you know, he's out for ten days, right, So he's
Speaker 1: out for the for let's say next week at least
Speaker 1: May night. All I really do is keep him out
Speaker 1: one more week. Maybe sixteenth is like two weeks from today.
Speaker 1: That's like close enough there, and I think he's okay.
Speaker 1: The pirates just need to be cautious about this. Don't
Speaker 1: rush it back, don't blake senell it right, just miss
Speaker 1: one extra start, probably than they plan on doing. That's
Speaker 1: what they need to do in order to keep Chris
Speaker 1: Archer healthy for the long run. Here. Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: sounds like a pretty serious injury. And I agree. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously your thought him very integral when it comes to
Speaker 1: UH starting pitchers. So yeah, rest him up as much
Speaker 1: as possible, because I have a few shares of Archer.
Speaker 1: I know you do, greg Um. We need him back.
Speaker 1: We need completely healthy, not something that's gonna hopefully not
Speaker 1: you know, knock on wood. This isn't would, but if
Speaker 1: you're round, would knock on it. Because we need Chris
Speaker 1: Harcher healthy. Absolutely. We're tatting with Dr right a couple
Speaker 1: more minutes with him here on the BFFs and DOC.
Speaker 1: We spoke with Brad Ziegler earlier about the Angels and
Speaker 1: their bullpen, and we had spoken about Hansel, Robeless and
Speaker 1: Antie butchery, but this all happened. Those names became about
Speaker 1: because Cody Allen got hurt or it was ineffective and
Speaker 1: then got hurt, or maybe he didn't get hurt. It
Speaker 1: was just ineffective. I was serious. Is this Cody Allen
Speaker 1: injury and is it just a phantom d Elston for him? Well,
Speaker 1: thank god that this is. He doesn't have multiple flare ups,
Speaker 1: so like some of these other guys we talked about before,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have a long history of these types of
Speaker 1: back injuries. But this is a great one lumbar spine strain. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a two week recovery. May tenth is
Speaker 1: what we're looking at. Um. You know, he is a closer,
Speaker 1: so he requires a significant amount of force on his
Speaker 1: back to generate that type of velocity and so normally, uh,
Speaker 1: you know one week or one on a week and
Speaker 1: a half would be good, but you know two weeks
Speaker 1: would should do it because he doesn't have a history
Speaker 1: of these types of flare up. So May tenth is
Speaker 1: what we're looking at. He's only at eighteen percent because
Speaker 1: of this injury right now. If he does rest for
Speaker 1: two weeks, he will be back below twelve to low
Speaker 1: injury risk and up to peak health. So this is
Speaker 1: good as long as he rest for two weeks, all right,
Speaker 1: So it sounds like it's gonna be a minimal stint
Speaker 1: here for Cody Allen, but he's still gonna have to
Speaker 1: no battle it out with Hansel, Robusts and tie Bouchery,
Speaker 1: especially if those guys performed well while he is out
Speaker 1: dr A one of the top prospects coming into the season.
Speaker 1: It's something that was very hyped up for fantasy purposes,
Speaker 1: and rightfully so was Eloy Amenez of the Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 1: He has a high right ankle sprain, has been seen
Speaker 1: in a boot. He's already been taking some batting practice.
Speaker 1: What do you guys have regarding Eloi Amenez moving forward? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a great one ankle sprain. Uh. You know, it's
Speaker 1: not anything worse than that. No ligament tear, no multiple,
Speaker 1: no intramuscular abnormalities or anything like that. No no bony
Speaker 1: abnormalities or fractures or conclusions or anything like that. It's
Speaker 1: a two week optimal covery time. May ten is what
Speaker 1: we're looking at. Um. And you know, as long as again,
Speaker 1: as long as they let it heal and they uh
Speaker 1: he he should be really good to go on May ten.
Speaker 1: Pretty good news. What comes to eloit him Andez as well.
Speaker 1: We got about a minute remaining, Doc I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask you about Ryan Zerman only because we were carter
Speaker 1: Cybrew owners. And if rendn't comes back, I want to
Speaker 1: be able to find a spot for cu boom. How
Speaker 1: Ryan Zerman used to be hurt all the time, like
Speaker 1: two years in a row. It was every day. What's
Speaker 1: ryans Erman this time? So the good news is that
Speaker 1: he's the first baseman uh having He's not stealing any
Speaker 1: basis for you or anything like that. Right foot plant
Speaker 1: our fasciatists. It's it's painful. It's a grade one, but
Speaker 1: pain can be heard for this injury with an injection
Speaker 1: into the planet or fascia and he could play through this. Um,
Speaker 1: this is a grade one, you know theoretically, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: because of his age and because of all the other
Speaker 1: previous injuries, etcetera. Um. The m R I did not
Speaker 1: show a tear, which is great. So that's why it's
Speaker 1: a great one. Even though it says no timetable for return,
Speaker 1: it's probably two to it's probably a two to three
Speaker 1: week o RT. It seems like it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: pretty shorts term short term sing here for Ryan Zimmerman.
Speaker 1: But overall, if if if Carter key Bum starts to
Speaker 1: pick it up, because you know he's over his last ten,
Speaker 1: so we worry a little bit about that. Greg Um.
Speaker 1: I think if he performs well, then again they'll find
Speaker 1: him fair enough. Look bad one yesterday though, that's quite
Speaker 1: an issue. That's quite an issue. Dr A Inside Injuries.

Speaker 1: So last night I went for with with a buddy
Speaker 1: for wings. As I told you I was going to
Speaker 1: wed We had wings. It was great, and there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of us all ordered beers, right, so I ordered
Speaker 1: a Founders all day. I p A as I tend
Speaker 1: to do right, and I took a sip of this.
Speaker 1: I know this is this is disgusting. You got some
Speaker 1: skunk beer? No, no, no, no, I got like a
Speaker 1: bud light is what I got. Oh. So I was waiting,
Speaker 1: I was waiting for my my I p A. I
Speaker 1: was like, this is clearly a bud light or a
Speaker 1: coarse lighter or something on something like Yeah. So the
Speaker 1: waiter comes back and I go Hey, this isn't a Founders.
Speaker 1: I thought there was like, oh, I guess like the
Speaker 1: kicks tap whatever, like choose something else. He just goes
Speaker 1: grabs the beer, brings it back. I'm like, were they
Speaker 1: just trying to like pull a fast one on me?
Speaker 1: That's what they tried to do, right in his head.
Speaker 1: They didn't think I would order the Founders. They gave
Speaker 1: me a bud light. It wasn't just like oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: like I'll check him, just like huh, And they came
Speaker 1: back with the found You weren't going to realize. I
Speaker 1: don't know, like maybe you I don't even win a
Speaker 1: different beer. If you order an I p A and
Speaker 1: you get a Corse Light, you're gonna know that it's
Speaker 1: not an ip A. I knew it, well, I mean
Speaker 1: I shouldn't know it. Yeah, there's a huge difference between
Speaker 1: and buns much thicker and heavier and has flavor and
Speaker 1: like light is just tastes like water almost correct. Um,
Speaker 1: But he might have been playing a game with his boys, yeah,
Speaker 1: saying like let's see how many people actually notice tonight.
Speaker 1: You know to do that, I I used to bought
Speaker 1: tend for a little while. You get bored. You play
Speaker 1: some games, you know what I mean? I think that's
Speaker 1: what it was. I think you may be playing games.
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to go to
Speaker 1: any bars or ventures. I'll you, this guy's gonna be an.
Speaker 1: I p A want an idea. I want to I
Speaker 1: feel like ventures? Right? All right? Good A good point?
Speaker 1: All right? What's what do you? What's your anecdote? So
Speaker 1: I went bowling last night. I went straight from playing
Speaker 1: three games straight from here. I brought my backpack with
Speaker 1: me bowling. I was going to leave it here because
Speaker 1: I was gonna do some work when I got home. Whatever.
Speaker 1: That never works out that it happens. I got a
Speaker 1: call from Internatalie last night's h I was I was
Speaker 1: seemingly getting ready to walk out as you're walking. I
Speaker 1: was walking out bowling. I was getting ready to leave bowling. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I told her to call you, and she called me,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I have no idea. You gotta
Speaker 1: call Frank. I left my backpack and in the bowling
Speaker 1: alley because you're on the phone. Not think. I get
Speaker 1: all the way home and I'm like, I have my backpack,
Speaker 1: my laptops worth like three thousand dollars. Not that I'm
Speaker 1: weird flex but um so my soon a be brother
Speaker 1: has to get back in the car. He's driving. We're
Speaker 1: like fast and furious. He's been diesel. I'm Paul Walker restigation.
Speaker 1: Um but yeah, we we got there in like ten minutes.
Speaker 1: We have to like drive them the highway to get
Speaker 1: back there and stuff, and I'm freaking out. He is
Speaker 1: calling them and they're like, we checked the whole place.
Speaker 1: We can't find the backpack. And I'm just there, like
Speaker 1: all right, well, three thousand dollars down the drain, lost
Speaker 1: my laptop. I got my place there, I got my
Speaker 1: porrible charger, I got my headphones to edit, I got
Speaker 1: all this stuff. You want to steal a backpack? My backpack.
Speaker 1: Don't want to steal You get back there right where
Speaker 1: I left it. What is wrong with like your heart
Speaker 1: with this place? Your heart is racing, seriously, I mean
Speaker 1: I kind of accepted it, you know me. I'm very
Speaker 1: doom and glo mistake. I'm like on the way that
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, well, there you go, lost like
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars down the drain. It's my own fault.
Speaker 1: I'm an idiot, like I was forgetful Parsley and Serannatalie's fault.
Speaker 1: I'll let her know tomorrow. But yeah, I got my
Speaker 1: laptop bag and here we are. I got it. It's
Speaker 1: my laptop, not someone else's. I walked in. It was
Speaker 1: in the same spot and looks at me and I said,
Speaker 1: oh this I was just here. This is my bag.
Speaker 1: Goes all right, all right bye. I didn't say anything
Speaker 1: to the workers. My fiance's texting me all caps, y'all

Speaker 1: you know John's Oh, I know exactly live that's benson Hurst.
Speaker 1: But I'm a little closer to bay Ridge, so I'm
Speaker 1: like in between backbridges on the other side. Like there's
Speaker 1: a train near me, the our train that goes to
Speaker 1: bay Ridge. But just being on the train is an
Speaker 1: our ride itself because local too. Yeah, it's all local.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's tough. All right, I'll drive, I'll be
Speaker 1: all right, I'd rather do that, but I want I

Speaker 1: like ending kind of part party party post bachelor party
Speaker 1: for you. Yes, it's a pre death party basically your
Speaker 1: life is about to end. Let's have a party. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at it. We're getting, We're getting, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at death. I'm just I was looking at it.
Speaker 1: We're all gonna go, We're gonna eat together, We're gonna
Speaker 1: drink the other watching baseball together. Dead never Die venture.
Speaker 1: You know it's kind of my thought talk Thrones slash
Speaker 1: Christmas party. You're right, exactly right, there you go. We
Speaker 1: bungled into one baseball stiff. You want to get you
Speaker 1: from yesterday, Frank that we didn' get a chance to.
Speaker 1: I think that we should talk about David rb I
Speaker 1: double huh. Yeah, maybe we should talk about Fani because
Speaker 1: that is venturous boy um. And you can't ignore what
Speaker 1: he's done over his past three starts, and specifically what
Speaker 1: he could potentially do next week, which I love start
Speaker 1: week against the San Francisco Giants. In both of his starts,
Speaker 1: that is absolutely phenomenal. And I'm looking at the stream
Speaker 1: of the week his last he starts venture he's gone
Speaker 1: six endings, six endings yesterday five points too. He hasn't
Speaker 1: a lot more than one or running any of those.
Speaker 1: He has at least six cases twenty strikeouts total over
Speaker 1: his last three starts, he's been really good. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: gotta give you credit for this one. Disc Fani. It
Speaker 1: seems like we always kind of talk about him, like
Speaker 1: he's a guy like are you picking usually this time
Speaker 1: every year? Yeah, but in a two start a week
Speaker 1: against San Francisco for both my home league last night
Speaker 1: for two bucks? Yeah exactly. Well he really got him
Speaker 1: that cheap two bucks? Is it? Is it a daily
Speaker 1: or weekly? It's a weekly league. It's a weekly. Like
Speaker 1: I'm surprised because like I would think he Like I
Speaker 1: was looking at all the guys that have two starts
Speaker 1: that you could possibly stream in my home league, and
Speaker 1: he was by far, like the best with the matchups
Speaker 1: and his talent like combined, I was like, this is
Speaker 1: by far the best one. Uh. No one picked him
Speaker 1: up in one league, but in other leagues they pay
Speaker 1: for him. They pay for these big time streams. So
Speaker 1: I mean not too much, you know, maybe four dollars
Speaker 1: or something like that, but two dollars that's pretty good
Speaker 1: because you're gonna get two good starts, I think. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And he's doing things differently this year. Greg, we talked
Speaker 1: about John Lester doing things differently. Uh, Scofani this year
Speaker 1: sixteen percent. Curveball usage last year was three point seven percent,
Speaker 1: his career high thirteen percent. So he's using the curveball more.
Speaker 1: It's the guy that throws his ninety four point seven
Speaker 1: miles per hour on average on his fastball. Swinging strike
Speaker 1: rate up this year high ten point four percent. Right now,
Speaker 1: he's getting strikeouts over ten case per nine. The walks
Speaker 1: are a bit of an issue for him. I would,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going to deny that, but overall
Speaker 1: e've been it's pretty good. There's some underlying nice numbers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would definitely stream him for that two star week
Speaker 1: next right, everyone's in the next week. You're hopefully this
Speaker 1: is his version of might. I don't want to commit yet.
Speaker 1: I might be in. I just hope this is in
Speaker 1: venturous version of Homer Bailey. Greg. You know what I did,
Speaker 1: the Homer Bailey thing. It didn't work out. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and I do like Home a bit. You know, I
Speaker 1: kind of like the guy because he looks like Christian
Speaker 1: Bail And you know, I used to like him back
Speaker 1: in the day when he pitched for the Red He
Speaker 1: looks exactly Christian Bill. He's a doppelganger. Uh, and you
Speaker 1: know I wanted to like him, but like it's hard
Speaker 1: to when he's been out of the game and added
Speaker 1: relevance for solo sucks. Let's say for what it is,
Speaker 1: you even learn, don't put a guy in your lineup
Speaker 1: who's a picture and his first name is Homer. Just
Speaker 1: don't do that. Everything about to start him, Like we
Speaker 1: we tried telling you that you're convincing yourself. Now I
Speaker 1: don't you know. I was very frustrated. We we tried
Speaker 1: letting you know this whatever man seemed like you didn't
Speaker 1: you weren't listening to you. He was doing things I'm
Speaker 1: not even this stream makes a lot more over defending
Speaker 1: Homer bability. There's other good two stars streamers. This week
Speaker 1: we got what are you looking at it? I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get there. Different starts next week, like that at
Speaker 1: Detroit at Baltimore. Pretty good matchup, Sue, like that Griven
Speaker 1: Door team only no, no, no, just hit one to
Speaker 1: the freaking moon the moon. Oh my god, Freddy Perult
Speaker 1: batting practice out here. Oh my god, he hit it
Speaker 1: so far. What about Meryll Kelly. We haven't talked about
Speaker 1: Merrill Kelly much yes, which is okay again see Yankees yesterday.
Speaker 1: He's got a week next week. The thing is, I
Speaker 1: don't love the matchup that Tampa Bay verse Atlanta the
Speaker 1: best match the worst, not the best. M Yeah, the
Speaker 1: underlying numbers are not good for Merrill Kelly. He's he's
Speaker 1: kind of jaggy. I talked about this. He's kind of
Speaker 1: just another guy right now. Doesn't get a lot of
Speaker 1: swings and mrs doesn't get a lot of strikeouts. Zero
Speaker 1: A is three point six zero. His xfit is four
Speaker 1: point four six. Does get groundballs, but doesn't blow you
Speaker 1: away with the fast ball per hour, uses a cutter curbball.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have an interesting arsenal. He has four pitches
Speaker 1: he throws, so he has a cutter curveball, change up combination.
Speaker 1: He strikes me as a guy who he's a picture.
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's got to use all four of
Speaker 1: his pictures to kind of mix things up. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna blow you away, which he's a picture. He's like
Speaker 1: a solid number three picture for for for a real
Speaker 1: team for five s P six. I think in a
Speaker 1: two star week in the leagues, I owned them. I
Speaker 1: think I have him in two places I'll probably have
Speaker 1: him been there. Yeah, what about this guy? I don't
Speaker 1: love the matchups. He's a good question would you rather
Speaker 1: have him? And this is another guy with two starts
Speaker 1: this week? Martin Perez has two this week. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: glad you wrote U. I'm glad you brought up press here.
Speaker 1: We gotta because because what do you the guy more
Speaker 1: than any other player that I've picked up and dropped
Speaker 1: on every team like three times. Ready, Mary Perez, drop
Speaker 1: him up. I dropped eight shut out in things, seven strikeouts,
Speaker 1: four hits he walked to Perez. The no runs that's
Speaker 1: right e er as three point four one he's allowed
Speaker 1: now in every start but one, he's allowed one runner
Speaker 1: less and every start but one a lot of four
Speaker 1: runs six innings at least, and every single stars whip
Speaker 1: is kind of high. Though when he was relieving. It
Speaker 1: wasn't good when he was before that blow up when
Speaker 1: he was a reliever, But before that, I mean, he's
Speaker 1: been awesome as a starting pitcher here this year. You
Speaker 1: want to talk about someone doing something differently, Greg Martine Perez,
Speaker 1: we talked about this during the spring. His fastball velocity
Speaker 1: still to this day, right now, it's not like it
Speaker 1: was just a spring training thing. Is up his fastball
Speaker 1: velocities nine point seven miles per hour last year two
Speaker 1: point seven. He's up two miles per hour. It's massive.
Speaker 1: He's also throwing a cutter this year thirty five percent
Speaker 1: at the time, a pictit he's never used before, so
Speaker 1: he's completely revamped as arsenal. He's got a ten point
Speaker 1: six percent swinging strike rate. He's never been higher than
Speaker 1: nine point nine percent in his career. The past couple
Speaker 1: of years he's been around seven percent. First strike percentage
Speaker 1: looks very good. Sixty four point six percent, getting opposing
Speaker 1: batters to chase more than ever before. I think more
Speaker 1: strikeouts are about to come for him. And if you
Speaker 1: can keep a Houston astro's lineup at Bay, throw eight
Speaker 1: innings and keep them off balance, venture I'm in. I
Speaker 1: had a few home leagues last night that ran fab
Speaker 1: I picked up Martine Perez and both of them. I
Speaker 1: just have to preach some patients and keep him on
Speaker 1: my team now, because I keep adding him and dropping him,
Speaker 1: adding him, dropping him. I just gotta keep him on
Speaker 1: my team. Do you think so? I like what I've seen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been great, like recently, especially that last start yesterday
Speaker 1: was great. I'm just this is a guy where you
Speaker 1: gotta look at the underlying numbers. The bad at ball
Speaker 1: data U X fit now I guess not so four
Speaker 1: six two x fit pretty high, not good. The FIP
Speaker 1: is three full four which is which is pretty good
Speaker 1: right alongside his the r A. But that x fit
Speaker 1: is worries um. The bad bit is uh three. I'd
Speaker 1: say that's about where you're gonna see it because he
Speaker 1: I mean, he does k people, but he also pitches
Speaker 1: to contact, he gives a pit. His whip is high,
Speaker 1: but I think that's a lot of that had to
Speaker 1: do with the relieving. So I don't know. It's interesting
Speaker 1: because like that x FI kind of worries me. I'm
Speaker 1: afraid of blow ups here and there. I don't know
Speaker 1: how consistent he's gonna be the whole season, but right
Speaker 1: now he's doing very well, so it's hard not to
Speaker 1: pick him up for a two star week at least
Speaker 1: right so it just worries me a little bit. I
Speaker 1: think that blow up is just kind of affecting some
Speaker 1: of his underlying numbers right now, because, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: the swinging strike rate and a couple of other of
Speaker 1: the advanced numbers here that I look at regarding Martine Perez,
Speaker 1: they looked pretty good. So I think as a strikeouts
Speaker 1: start to come a little bit more, we're gonna see
Speaker 1: all the other numbers kind of regulate out. I think
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if the x FIP starts slower
Speaker 1: as well, even get a little bit closer to the
Speaker 1: e r A. Not that he's gonna pitch. Is he
Speaker 1: gonna pitch to a mid three e r A the
Speaker 1: entire season? Probably not. But I'm gonna take a shot
Speaker 1: on a guy who's he's upped his fast bubbalocity by
Speaker 1: two miles per hour. He's sitting in the mid nineties,
Speaker 1: and he's throwing his cutter a new pitch thirty plus
Speaker 1: percentage of the time. So yeah, I mean, and these
Speaker 1: two starts are great too, at Toronto and home against Detroit.
Speaker 1: Well that's great, very good, very good, very good. So
Speaker 1: pick him up. ESPN has him as a two starter,
Speaker 1: because CBS doesn't have him as a two starter yet.
Speaker 1: What's the date for that second mail eleventh? They have
Speaker 1: a double header, so he's pitching one of those games,
Speaker 1: And yeah, they probably just haven't yet. Those are great matchups.
Speaker 1: Very good job. He's Sclafani, Martine Perez, Griffin, Canning. Let's
Speaker 1: do it. I want to star pitchers pick him up.
Speaker 1: I want to thank dr Ay for joining us. I
Speaker 1: want to thank Brendeler for joining us. Want I think
Speaker 1: the Closer for walk in front of the camera, for
