Speaker 1: network alongside Frank stamp Well. I am Greg A happy Monday,
Speaker 1: and I really needed the weekends and it was. It
Speaker 1: was a long weekend. It was a fun weekend. Lots
Speaker 1: of baseball. Game of Thrones was insane last night. But
Speaker 1: as a referenced on Friday, I told you I fiance
Speaker 1: it wasn't around for this weekend and I need it
Speaker 1: round man to hold me and check because when she's
Speaker 1: not around, I just do a bunch of crazy stuff
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm banged up. I'm honestly so so I
Speaker 1: need around. So I did have Judy around all weekend
Speaker 1: and Friday night I could. I couldn't drink beer yet, right,
Speaker 1: I was only able to drink wine, and I drank
Speaker 1: quite a bit of it. We had, you know, basically
Speaker 1: a bottle to the face per person, so that was cool.
Speaker 1: And then the next yeah, exactly, and then the next
Speaker 1: night I could drink beer and wine and other liquors.
Speaker 1: So I did all that. Yesterday, Frank I was I
Speaker 1: was bad, Like I was moving around really slowly, and
Speaker 1: I kept going to the bathroom obviously, and she was like,
Speaker 1: is your stoppach bothering you? And I was like no,
Speaker 1: I was like going very slowly. She's like, what's wrong
Speaker 1: with him? Like, I'm I'm hungover's like double hangover. That's
Speaker 1: the worst. She's like, you couldn't even She's like, this
Speaker 1: is weird the year hungover. I'm not just like I'm
Speaker 1: just going slowly this morning. Please. I just was not
Speaker 1: the same until like dinner. What do you think is
Speaker 1: going on with us right now? Is there something like
Speaker 1: deep down? Like honestly, when I went to bed, when
Speaker 1: I went to bed last night and weekend I woke
Speaker 1: up before my alarm this morning, and honestly because I
Speaker 1: wanted to check up. I got Carter Cubrew on my team. Um,
Speaker 1: so I got up before my longest morning. I was like,
Speaker 1: whyd wake I was like wow, So this is how
Speaker 1: it feels like wake up and like not be hung over.
Speaker 1: This is how it goods. It feels me refreshed after
Speaker 1: a long man of sleep. I didn't get out of
Speaker 1: my bed til like four thirty. I got out of
Speaker 1: bed because I had to do some work in the morning,
Speaker 1: and I was like, crap, I left this Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: I had to do some work. Then at the end
Speaker 1: of the supermarket and then I went to a Mr. Robot.
Speaker 1: What I thought was like a I was gonna see
Speaker 1: like a screening of it. Instead I just heard like
Speaker 1: Robby Malik and Christian Slater like talk for like an hour,
Speaker 1: like this is very boring, like cool, like Robbie Molick
Speaker 1: was cool, right, That's awesome seeing him there. But I'm
Speaker 1: like this is this is boring. I don't want to
Speaker 1: be here. I want to just be like on my
Speaker 1: couch passing out during the Yankee game. And I couldn't.
Speaker 1: It was like thank you, man, I appreciate that. Maddie moo,
Speaker 1: you hungover. I am not hung over. I did thoroughly
Speaker 1: enjoy Game of Thrones. I did have one criticism on it,
Speaker 1: but otherwise it was fantastic. Was your criticism how dark
Speaker 1: it was? Modiger, because that's basically my only criticism, basically
Speaker 1: depending on achieving. The one of my bedroom was like
Speaker 1: barely just watching shadows. The one of my living room
Speaker 1: was fun. But I think not enough people don't. I'll
Speaker 1: say that, so I agree, not enough, not enough. The
Speaker 1: main characters died, um, which is ridiculous. They're saving it
Speaker 1: for the next war, Greg, which is ridiculous because they
Speaker 1: all got like stabbed a thousand times um. But nevertheless,
Speaker 1: I agree that. I also know the cloudingess didn't bother
Speaker 1: me so much because I watch it like you, Matt,
Speaker 1: like everything dark. There's there's no lights on it, Like
Speaker 1: it was all right for me. Yeah, I mean we
Speaker 1: had to shut the lights off, right. I was trying
Speaker 1: to hold it in as long until the cat ra
Speaker 1: got off of me. I was trying so hard I felt,
Speaker 1: oh man, uh yeah, so I had to like shut
Speaker 1: the lights off halfway through the episode. He was I
Speaker 1: was getting glare on the TV. It wasn't working out well. Um,
Speaker 1: but then you know, once to shut off the lights
Speaker 1: had a little bit better. It was right. No, I
Speaker 1: thought I thought it was. It was it was dope.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are like, you know, talty about it.
Speaker 1: They have their criticisms like like, no matter what, people
Speaker 1: aren't gonna be happy no matter what they do. Yeah, Matt,
Speaker 1: I'll see one thing. I think when you know the
Speaker 1: old man was in charge of it, they followed his thing.
Speaker 1: It was a lot more darker and a lot less
Speaker 1: Hollywood put it that way. Yeah, I I there. I
Speaker 1: agree with that. I very much agree with that. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of fans service like not killing off people.
Speaker 1: Georgia R. Martin probably would have killed off I agree
Speaker 1: with that totally. That um somebody she's like I said,
Speaker 1: I loved the episode. I don't want to be the
Speaker 1: guy that says I didn't want the episode. Oh, I
Speaker 1: loved it. It was awesome. But like I had nitpicks,
Speaker 1: and like my friends are going crazy because I have
Speaker 1: these nitpicks. I think they're fair nit picks. They really do.
Speaker 1: Like we build up for years and eight thousand years
Speaker 1: of the White Walkers and the Night King and they
Speaker 1: just eighty minutes, they're just gone. All right, it's over.
Speaker 1: I was like, it's kind of ridiculous, right right, So
Speaker 1: that was so that was kind of ridiculous. That bothered me.
Speaker 1: The second thing was like the spoiler alert, don't listen
Speaker 1: if you don't want to be don't watch yet. If
Speaker 1: you haven't watched it, this is your time. Take off,
Speaker 1: take off, one, two, three, Okay, So when ari It
Speaker 1: kills the Night King, like she just comes out of nowhere, Like,
Speaker 1: how did you get through the entire army of the
Speaker 1: dead and the other White Walkers? I told you It's
Speaker 1: very simple. I told you the South there's she's a
Speaker 1: ninja assassin. Yeah, you don't sneak around anywhere, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: That bothered me. And then the last thing, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: will say I was happy that it was Aria, not
Speaker 1: John Snoward, Danny and Area. Like Frank said, is this
Speaker 1: assassin the faceless man and all that she is one
Speaker 1: of the people of like death that the line was haring.
Speaker 1: Miss Sandry was excellent when she said we met before,
Speaker 1: and you'll close a lot of eyes, brown ones, green ones,
Speaker 1: and blue eyes. So they changed that line, Matt, They
Speaker 1: changed it. I watched that first scene back with Melissandre
Speaker 1: and Aria. Blue eyes is not last green eyes? Who
Speaker 1: has green eyes? Cercy has green eyes? Just saying it's true, Greggy,
Speaker 1: this is true, and the last note that. I was
Speaker 1: also kind of thinking, Jon Snow, he's not really great
Speaker 1: at like these strategies at all. He looked like every
Speaker 1: time he's wrong, he's not a great commander. False. Well, Gregg,
Speaker 1: he's screamed in the face of a dragon and killed it. Duh.
Speaker 1: You think he probably thinks that. He's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was all because of me. I screamed
Speaker 1: in a dragon's face and died. Yeah. But but but
Speaker 1: the thing is, like he lost the dragon. He would
Speaker 1: have lost the Battle of the Bastards it wasn't Rassanza.
Speaker 1: He would have lost this one if it wasn't for Aria.
Speaker 1: He's not great. He's doing all I can. We did
Speaker 1: learn one thing, do not run at the night King. No,
Speaker 1: everybody had attempted. That was you know, I love the
Speaker 1: dragon Facharis just like looking back up at her, smiling, smirking.
Speaker 1: That was That was a great scene. I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1: That was a great episode Aria was actually my favorite
Speaker 1: part of the episode of the entire time, Like her
Speaker 1: going through the halls doing the the water dancing stuff
Speaker 1: like that was dope. Yeah, and then her you know,
Speaker 1: trying to sneak around whenever it was library or whatever.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Yeah, great episode. I enjoy it. It
Speaker 1: was it was fantastic. It was fantastic. I'll take into
Speaker 1: baseball because, as I said, I stucked well after the episod.
Speaker 1: Soon as Frank knows, they tried doing waivers like two
Speaker 1: hours after Game of Thrones, and at that point I
Speaker 1: was passed out. They started it literally it was midnight.
Speaker 1: I was sleeping, like I'm there, I'm around four, and
Speaker 1: I know last night Thrones was an hour and a
Speaker 1: half long. So and then we all we don't necessarily
Speaker 1: like I watched HBO go like you do. So I
Speaker 1: started at like nine ten and started exactly nine o'clock.
Speaker 1: So by the time we all kind of like decompressed
Speaker 1: of it, it's like even thirty, and so Frank sends
Speaker 1: out the right, here's what I'm thinking, and I passed out.
Speaker 1: That was it, um And I didn't even get yelled
Speaker 1: at for it by you guys. You're just like he
Speaker 1: felt because I was trying to go to sleep too,
Speaker 1: and Florida wasn't texting me back enough like you got you.
Speaker 1: But I did pass out after Thrones, but I kept
Speaker 1: waking up in the middle of the night. This is
Speaker 1: so pathetic, thinking like should I check my phone if
Speaker 1: I got Carter key room? Like should I do it?
Speaker 1: Did I do it? And I held out until right
Speaker 1: before my alarm went off this morning. So I got
Speaker 1: him my home league, Frank, you got him in the
Speaker 1: main event. You got him in the Great Fantasy Baseball
Speaker 1: Invitational as well, I believe, And we kind of figured
Speaker 1: it out on Friday that we're gonna be all in
Speaker 1: on this guy. Like we talked it up. We look,
Speaker 1: we look at the other prospects that could be called
Speaker 1: up that aren't owned, and we decided like he's the
Speaker 1: guy for us this year, and we went all in.
Speaker 1: Now that you got him and I got him, how
Speaker 1: are you feeling about it? I feel good that I
Speaker 1: got him overall, I guess for me, this was my
Speaker 1: Clint Frasier for Modica. You know when Modi came on
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, about a month ago around
Speaker 1: this time, he says, Look, I'm gonna be aggressive with
Speaker 1: Clint Frasier. You get him early on in the year,
Speaker 1: you have him for the rest of the season. Now,
Speaker 1: since then Clint Fraser had to be sacrificed, as all
Speaker 1: Yankees players are now sacrificed. Yesterday they lose dj Lemahi
Speaker 1: and of all people who was actually performing really well
Speaker 1: for the Yankees. So he los both of those guys.
Speaker 1: But my thinking was basically spot on with what Matt
Speaker 1: was saying a month ago. Is I want to be
Speaker 1: aggressive early on on this guy. He's one of the
Speaker 1: top prospects in baseball. No, he's not Vladimir gerro Jr.
Speaker 1: But you know, looking at some prospect list, this is
Speaker 1: a guy who can make a legitimate difference. And I
Speaker 1: understand people have concerns about. Okay, Well, once trade turners back,
Speaker 1: where is he gonna play the cream? The cream always
Speaker 1: rises to the top, and so far, Greggy he has
Speaker 1: been the cream, and he's been performing very well in
Speaker 1: it for a couple of games. So I was aggressive here,
Speaker 1: spent three three dollars out of a thousand dollar budget.
Speaker 1: I had um a little under seven hundred dollars left
Speaker 1: in both leagues, So I got him in the Great
Speaker 1: Fantasy Based Momentational. The next closest bid was like three,
Speaker 1: and I spent three fifty three in the main event.
Speaker 1: Backup it was not three twin. It was on nine,
Speaker 1: which was modica. But I think overall the way that
Speaker 1: we read the market, we weren't that far off seeing
Speaker 1: what the backup bid was in the Great Fantasy Based Momentational,
Speaker 1: and then in GST Last Night, which is another fifteen
Speaker 1: team roto, he goes for three twenty two. I don't
Speaker 1: think we were off in terms of the market. Well,
Speaker 1: we knew. We knew theoretically a lot of times when
Speaker 1: you bid, and that one discussed moments like you bid
Speaker 1: because you're you're comfortable at that price, like I know,
Speaker 1: I've been this, Like I'm in the marketing, in the ranging,
Speaker 1: I kind of want him. But if you want a
Speaker 1: guy like the Giants Vathaniel Jones, you go out and
Speaker 1: get him and we bide three. Or you asked me
Speaker 1: how much to bid? My number was three three. I said,
Speaker 1: like that's a number that you could win him at,
Speaker 1: Like that's a number that there's a very good chance
Speaker 1: you get him at. And you have to be aggressive
Speaker 1: there and you want to go out and get your guy, Matt.
Speaker 1: Judging by your bid, it didn't sound like you were.
Speaker 1: I guess all the way in as Frank and I
Speaker 1: were on Carter, heyboo, what did you think? What do
Speaker 1: you think of him? What do you think of our bids? Uh?
Speaker 1: And where are you at with that? I've been on
Speaker 1: him in pretty much every league, and in that main
Speaker 1: event league, I just I think I had like four
Speaker 1: fifty nine dollars left, so I couldn't big Uh, you
Speaker 1: know over what I did. I had to make a
Speaker 1: reasonable bid to try and get it, and I was
Speaker 1: the runner up. I got him into other spots for
Speaker 1: one sixty seven and one s nine with the runner
Speaker 1: up bids being like one fifty four. So I was
Speaker 1: really happy about that, and I like him. I've been
Speaker 1: I've said it earlier before I said it prior to
Speaker 1: the season. At my drafts and auctions, I've been very
Speaker 1: aggressive with these prospects. I think the game has changed. Uh.
Speaker 1: You don't wait years for these guys to get called
Speaker 1: up anymore. If they make an immediate impact that they stay.
Speaker 1: We saw what n Soto did last year as a
Speaker 1: member of the Nationals. He hit and look, Lon Soto
Speaker 1: was nineteen years old, but he hit. He stayed in
Speaker 1: that lineup, and you know he's a fantastic player. Not
Speaker 1: all of these guys are gonna hit. There is realist
Speaker 1: Rick key Boon that he could go back down. But
Speaker 1: I owned un Don't in a lot of places, and
Speaker 1: the places I owned run Don't and Trade Turner. I
Speaker 1: was super aggressive because I think, you know, the friend
Speaker 1: don goes on the d L, you got turned it
Speaker 1: out for another month. You know, you have to take shots,
Speaker 1: even if you're wrong. You have to take shots on guys.
Speaker 1: I completely agree, and you actually taught me that. Really
Speaker 1: that nothing the cream rises, but when these young players
Speaker 1: come up, you take a shot because who knows what
Speaker 1: it could turn into. And I had one soda in
Speaker 1: the back of my mind throughout this bid with Carter
Speaker 1: key Boom. We were aggressive on Clint Frasier because of that,
Speaker 1: because we've figured, you know, these things ultimately work themselves out,
Speaker 1: and I think the same would be said for Carter
Speaker 1: key Boom that win Trade Turner comes back next month. Theoretically,
Speaker 1: if keybo was hitting, he'll find a place in the lineup.
Speaker 1: Whether that's a second base of Brian Doser is only
Speaker 1: under contract for a year, whether that's in right field
Speaker 1: for Adam Eating. These things work themselves out all the time,
Speaker 1: so I wanted to be aggressive on key Boom. I
Speaker 1: know he's batting ninth, which is frustrating. It's good for
Speaker 1: Victor d Lays owners right um, but for Carter key
Speaker 1: Bom batting ninth that's annoying. But he's going to get
Speaker 1: a chance to play every day for the next month
Speaker 1: or so. We'll see what happens after that. And it's
Speaker 1: worth mentioning that I had Aaron Judge in the main
Speaker 1: event two and obviously he doesn't play the same position,
Speaker 1: he doesn't play outfield. But I need a little shot
Speaker 1: in the arm after Aaron Judge goes down. And I
Speaker 1: picked up dex Or Fowler last week, but I knew
Speaker 1: that wasn't a long term answer. So I'm really hoping
Speaker 1: that at least until Judge come back. You know, it
Speaker 1: could be similar timelines here. Ultimately, I do think that
Speaker 1: if Keybon performs, he'll stay in the lineup. But I
Speaker 1: did need some kind of you know, shot in the
Speaker 1: arm there after losing Judge. Ryan Zerman, Ryan Zerman on
Speaker 1: the d L ry l rather uh, it's I'm on
Speaker 1: MLV dot com and it's still says d L's that's ridiculous,
Speaker 1: and in fact, can make a point from last week.
Speaker 1: I mean, look what people are paying for Cole Tucker.
Speaker 1: There was three over two hundred uh in many places,
Speaker 1: so look, keep them can hit. I don't know how
Speaker 1: great his defense is, but like you said, they'll find
Speaker 1: the way. And if Doser doesn't continue to hit or
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't rely on Ryan Zimmerman to even
Speaker 1: put anything else the rest of the season. Maybe does
Speaker 1: who plays first based with Matt Adams, there's plenty of
Speaker 1: So that's exactly what I was gonna say, was Zimerman's out. Zerman,
Speaker 1: you know, who knows how long he'll be out with
Speaker 1: this injury. Maybe Brian Is You're all of a sudden
Speaker 1: winds up at first base like they're going to find
Speaker 1: a way. They did it with Wan Soto last year,
Speaker 1: they'll do it again. There will be other injuries. So
Speaker 1: that's why I wanted to be aggressive with Keyboum and
Speaker 1: I'm glad we were and and I'm glad it worked
Speaker 1: out and and hopefully he works out yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I have him in four of seven of my you
Speaker 1: know leagues that I'm actually playing out aside from Beastball League.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was really aggressive on Key Boom. Spoke
Speaker 1: a lot about him on Friday with Florio. You know,
Speaker 1: I read a few prospect reports regarding him, and you know,
Speaker 1: they give him the player comp of Alex Bregman, very
Speaker 1: lofty expectations, and even Bregman didn't perform right away when
Speaker 1: he first came up. But I mean that's the type
Speaker 1: of player that they're thinking ultimately Key Boom can develop into.
Speaker 1: So um and and the fact that the Nationals are
Speaker 1: just really aggressive with their prospects and I think they'll
Speaker 1: keep them around. Uh yeah, I have them in the
Speaker 1: over half of my leagues right now and excited about it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm obviously excited about it. Also, we'll see ultimately what happens.
Speaker 1: Other than Carter here, Key Boum, the next in the
Speaker 1: main event for you. The next highest bid was Mike Javis,
Speaker 1: who you just missed out on. Would you have gotten
Speaker 1: him and Keba or is he a backup it for you?
Speaker 1: I don't know. So the I put the backup it,
Speaker 1: you have that wasn't my backroop okay, so my bid
Speaker 1: I think I had one on him and it was
Speaker 1: a backup to two Key Boom, so I wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: get both of these guys on my team. But yeah,
Speaker 1: ultimately Michael Javis goes for two. We spoke about him
Speaker 1: a lot last week as well. We'll get more decas
Speaker 1: thoughts when we come back. I think it's a similar situation.
Speaker 1: As long as he hits, he's gonna remain in the
Speaker 1: in the lineup for the Red Sox, and so far
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit up and down, but from
Speaker 1: power some speed, it's been all right. I saw that
Speaker 1: twining about Amilia Pagan. We're gonna do that as well,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot to get into there. Waiver recaps.

Speaker 1: start on the Fantasy Sports networking on your popular podcast providers,
Speaker 1: Fantasy BFFs, Fantasy Sports Reo Network. Weren't doing here Greg
Speaker 1: the song you were loaded a lot of red wine.
Speaker 1: That is uh Battok is joining us for Modica Monday.
Speaker 1: You can follow him at CTM Baseball and read all
Speaker 1: of his work at the Athletic. That's a from the program.
Speaker 1: Joined this eation every Monday. Here. We just got breaking
Speaker 1: news to Gredy just retweeted it from Ken Rosenthal raised
Speaker 1: promoting first baseman Nate Low their minor league player of
Speaker 1: the year last season. He was betting three seven o
Speaker 1: p s. There was actually a player that I was
Speaker 1: stashing in the Great Fantasy Baseball Momentation because I thought
Speaker 1: I thought it was only a matter of time. He
Speaker 1: has twenty seven home runs in the minors last year.
Speaker 1: He is not brothers of of Brandon Low. There's three
Speaker 1: Lows in their organization, and I think he's Nate Low.
Speaker 1: His brother is Josh Lowe. He's another prospect, and then
Speaker 1: they have Brandon Low. So there's a lot of lows,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of lows basically in the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay Rays organization. But this guy is coming and uh,
Speaker 1: I look like him a lot as well. So Maddie Moo,
Speaker 1: you just retweeted it. If people, if people are playing
Speaker 1: in first come, first SERVI leagues right now and they
Speaker 1: can still go out there and pick them up, how
Speaker 1: imperative is them is that for them to go get
Speaker 1: Nate Low right now? Oh? I think if you have
Speaker 1: the spot, why not? You know, you always want to
Speaker 1: see what happens. You can't wait. And if you get him,
Speaker 1: if he's terrible after a week or two and you
Speaker 1: want to move on, that's fine. But he's gonna be
Speaker 1: a guy that I'm going to anticipate. Uh, this upcoming
Speaker 1: Sunday night is gonna go for some nice cash. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna guess that I'm not gonna be in on that bidding. Greg,
Speaker 1: Is he better or worse than Carter Keybo? Is he
Speaker 1: better or worse? Look, it's two different things. You gotta
Speaker 1: a short stop at a first basement. You look at
Speaker 1: the average. I'm not a prospect guru, but you know
Speaker 1: you had to go after Carter Key boom because he
Speaker 1: was the guy that was available. Then you don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, even if we anticipated his arrival,
Speaker 1: which as Frank Frank did properly and others were saying
Speaker 1: it was a matter of time. You can't just wait
Speaker 1: and hope you get the next guy. Which what if
Speaker 1: somebody he has a great week this week, there's seven
Speaker 1: full days and he bats five, it's you know, batch
Speaker 1: five hundred hits, a bunch of homers. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: paying over five. Absolutely, So he's atting three hundred this year,
Speaker 1: greggy and triple A and twenty one games, seventy at bats,
Speaker 1: and last year he hit three thirty in a hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty games, with twenty seven home runs and a
Speaker 1: hundred and two ribbyes. So yeah, I was stashing him
Speaker 1: in the Great fantasy based pollmentational pack up up a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago for seven dollars out of a thousand.
Speaker 1: So I'm interested to see how much he will end
Speaker 1: up going for next week if he has a good
Speaker 1: week this week. So, uh, Nate Low is actually a
Speaker 1: guy that I would that I'm pretty excited about. Greg.
Speaker 1: I was gonna write on my Patreon I still will
Speaker 1: about the next wave of prospects that I think is coming.
Speaker 1: He was gonna be on that list, and I think
Speaker 1: Ryan Moutcastle is another one to pay attend to with
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Orioles. Fair enough, alright, let's continue on with
Speaker 1: some of the waiver wire stuff that did happen this
Speaker 1: past week. Not anticipating for next week. We mentioned Michael
Speaker 1: Javis briefly. How high are you on him, Matt, I
Speaker 1: would like to have him on my team. I got
Speaker 1: him in a twelve team league forty nine dollars. That's
Speaker 1: the difference between the twelve and fifteen. I was shocked.
Speaker 1: I just put it out there. Look, he's got the power.
Speaker 1: I was hired on him a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: He was somebody I was drafted in like drafting holds
Speaker 1: those fifty rounders, and then he had the suspension last year.
Speaker 1: But he's considered, you know, if not their best, one
Speaker 1: of their best prospects for the Red Sox. Second base
Speaker 1: is a huge hole. Uh, Dustin Pedroia is done and
Speaker 1: as long as he can be adequate at the position
Speaker 1: and keeps hitting, I don't see the moving him off that.
Speaker 1: And that's what you said Frank that even though Petroia
Speaker 1: and Nunez and brock Holt coming back, Michael Javis performs,
Speaker 1: He's not leaving a lineup kind of like kind of
Speaker 1: like hard key boom and there it is. Michael Javis
Speaker 1: had a really nice weekend and continues to hit Greg
Speaker 1: We're starting to see more and more teams in baseball
Speaker 1: kind of sacrificing defense in order to put their best
Speaker 1: lineup outs. The Brewers kind of started the trend, you know,
Speaker 1: moving Travis Shaw last year to second base now this year,
Speaker 1: using Michael Stocks at second base. Teams just want to
Speaker 1: try and uh maximize their offensive output, and that's what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do here with Michael Javis. You know,
Speaker 1: he's not gonna play third base because they have Deverage.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna play first because, uh, they have Mitch Morlands,
Speaker 1: so they stick him in that second base. It's probably
Speaker 1: not the ideal situation defensively, but he does offer them
Speaker 1: a little bit of pop from the middle infield, so
Speaker 1: he's gonna gain that eligibility soon as well. So you
Speaker 1: have the middle infield corner infield again. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: try and get as many of these prospects on your
Speaker 1: team as you possibly can see if they hit and
Speaker 1: then you know, see if you have something for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. So again, key Boom Javis. People
Speaker 1: are aggressive on them. Nate Lowe just another one. Um.
Speaker 1: I like Javis, I have them in a few locations,
Speaker 1: And I told you last week Greig, I'm not not
Speaker 1: worried about but Roy, I'm not worried about Edward on
Speaker 1: unia As when it comes to the Red Sox, the
Speaker 1: you yeah, the poor man's Michael Javis. My opinion, there's
Speaker 1: a guy that I had on a couple of my
Speaker 1: high stakes leagues that are like Satellite League's not overall competitions,
Speaker 1: and now I pretty much have on every team. That's
Speaker 1: David Boque of the Coup just did get second base
Speaker 1: eligibility to go along with the third base eligibility. I
Speaker 1: know Addison Russell will be coming back at some point
Speaker 1: in time, but you know, you got the you got
Speaker 1: some other players on the team that just aren't performing.
Speaker 1: And I think I really like Bok. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: they gave him some money and I think he's a
Speaker 1: guy that can be in deeper leagues a profitable player. Yeah,
Speaker 1: David Body. Uh so, how do we weekend that it's
Speaker 1: interesting read this article or these tweets and you guys
Speaker 1: have seen it by now that Joe Madden likes to
Speaker 1: make his lineups days in advance for the series. Every
Speaker 1: player kind of has an idea of what they're doing
Speaker 1: for that series, and he made it over the weekend.
Speaker 1: David Body was not supposed to be in the lineup
Speaker 1: yesterday and Ben's obris and I guess a couple of
Speaker 1: the other veterans for Chicago went to Joe Mann was like, listen,
Speaker 1: this guy needs manna lie to I I shouldn't And
Speaker 1: they put Bodie in overs overs as overs wind up
Speaker 1: coming in the tent and play half a game anyway. Um,
Speaker 1: but David Bodie earning the respect of his teammates, the
Speaker 1: trust of his manager and could be a good play
Speaker 1: right now as we wait for Addison Russell's to return. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's a good call by Matt. I wanted
Speaker 1: to hear his thoughts on him because he ended up
Speaker 1: picking him up in the main event. So yeah, David
Speaker 1: Bodie another one who's gonna have the middle infield, the
Speaker 1: corner infield. Obviously a great line up here with the
Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs. He's off to a good start, hitting seventy nine,
Speaker 1: three home runs, fourteen ribbies, and he's now played three
Speaker 1: days in a row. So there's more of a deeper
Speaker 1: play for now. Obviously should be owning and then only
Speaker 1: fifteen team mix. But if there's a guy who starts
Speaker 1: to play every single day moving forward, or let's say
Speaker 1: five out of six games throughout a week, then he
Speaker 1: could find some relevance in shallower leagues as well. But
Speaker 1: I do agree in deeper leagues he's have some upside,
Speaker 1: especially in the clubs lineups. Just a great lineup, absolutely, Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: moving on, I mentioned before the break Amilia and this
Speaker 1: is this one's weird. I I don't get this one,
Speaker 1: Like I think it sounds like a Meli Pagan is
Speaker 1: kind of like the new Diego Castillo for these team,
Speaker 1: where all right, Jose Alvarado facing the heart of the
Speaker 1: order and theother going to Pagana ninth and ever since
Speaker 1: he's been back up, it's like safe, save save, save, saved,
Speaker 1: so much so that you went and bought a closer. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm not even a Pagan believer, but you know He's
Speaker 1: not a guy that I think he's a He's he's
Speaker 1: third best out of those three arms, you know, and
Speaker 1: I think it's a significant difference. I think Catcheo and
Speaker 1: Avorado are much better. But he's gotten three saves in
Speaker 1: a week and for forty nine dollars. I didn't think
Speaker 1: I was gonna win it, but forty nine bucks, I'll
Speaker 1: take it. I'll see what happens and if it if
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, I lost, you know, five. If not.
Speaker 1: If it does, then you know, hey, but I have
Speaker 1: Avarado in multiple leagues, so I'm pulling for him. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Really interesting situation here for the Tampa Bay Rays. All
Speaker 1: three of Alvarado, Diego cast Eeo, and Amilio Pagan have
Speaker 1: free save opportunities on the year, and all three of
Speaker 1: them have converted on all three, so they each have
Speaker 1: three saves. You know. Originally we thought, all right, maybe
Speaker 1: this was like a sixty forty situation with Alvarado and
Speaker 1: Diego Castillo coming into the year early on, and then
Speaker 1: last week we see Pagan get the two saves and
Speaker 1: back to back days and everything that I read into
Speaker 1: it was all right. They wanted to get both Alvarado
Speaker 1: and Diego Castillo some days off back to back days
Speaker 1: because they had been pitching so much. I think at
Speaker 1: the time in the middle of last week, they both
Speaker 1: had thirteen relief appearances already. So he's like, look, we're
Speaker 1: gonna burn these guys out. I gotta you know, I
Speaker 1: can't use them every single day. But they're all right,
Speaker 1: They're just gonna give them two days off, and then
Speaker 1: it turns out again, Greg over the weekend, Emilio Pagan
Speaker 1: gets another save. So really interesting situation. I agree with Matt.
Speaker 1: I think both of Alvarado and Castillo are more talented pictures.
Speaker 1: But you know, Kevin Cash and the Tampa Bay Rays organization, Greg,
Speaker 1: when you think that they're doing one thing, they're gonna
Speaker 1: serve and they're gonna do something differently, and ultimately it's
Speaker 1: been working out. Look, how you know, look at their record,
Speaker 1: look at what the race have done so far to
Speaker 1: start the season. So and you really question the madness.
Speaker 1: It sucks for fantasy purposes, but it's working for the
Speaker 1: Tampa every race. Yeah, it absolutely is. Um it's madness,
Speaker 1: and it's frustrating for my fantasy perspective. As Frankie mentioned,
Speaker 1: but it's working, and Kevin Cash to be a nice job.
Speaker 1: I saw another good article today this morning, actually saying
Speaker 1: that the Rays winning is actually bad for baseball because
Speaker 1: it shows you that with a sixty million dollar payroll
Speaker 1: and really bright minds, you can win and will force
Speaker 1: teams once again not to pay free agents theoretically. Okay.
Speaker 1: I was wondering where you were going for that with that,
Speaker 1: because I was like, what, it's actually a really cool story,
Speaker 1: the fact that they can compete with these juggernauts, the
Speaker 1: Red Sox with the big payroll, the Yankees with the
Speaker 1: big payroll. Uh, just you know, kind of doing things differently,
Speaker 1: you know, reinventing the wheel here, let's here with the
Speaker 1: with the opener and putting together a scrappy lineup like
Speaker 1: they have done they always. They have great prospects. They
Speaker 1: have a you know, great development minor league system too.
Speaker 1: But I see what you're saying with that, Um, we'll see.
Speaker 1: I mean, not every team can pull it off. The
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Race have been one of these teams that
Speaker 1: can do it the past couple of years. But I'm
Speaker 1: not sure every team is equipped to kind of do
Speaker 1: what they do. I agree with you, yes, Matt, I
Speaker 1: agree that it's bad for baseball in this aspect. If
Speaker 1: you're going to have a salary cap, which they pretty
Speaker 1: much have, you know, there's a huge tax when you
Speaker 1: go over and stuff. There should be a floor of
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars and everything should be able to
Speaker 1: meet that quota. You know, I understand you can do
Speaker 1: it with sixty, but that'll make the salaries for everyone
Speaker 1: better in in in in the long run. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: I completely with that philosophy. He's absolutely right. So one
Speaker 1: day was during the break when you were I was
Speaker 1: looking at your main event results guys, and I saw
Speaker 1: that whose peraza went for a hundred fifty eight dollars
Speaker 1: and I was surprised that. I asked Frank, I was,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I missed something as Parrazza hot again,
Speaker 1: And Franks like, no, he just shouldn't have been available,
Speaker 1: Like why shouldn't have He stinks, like yeah, but but
Speaker 1: there's a big but unless year. If you look at April, yes,
Speaker 1: you have that pretty much the same stats right after
Speaker 1: one month. So he's not a guy that I don't
Speaker 1: think you could give up on right now. Look, Nick
Speaker 1: Senzel is on his way I listened to two radio
Speaker 1: broadcasts of the Reds on my way into the city
Speaker 1: last week and joining the game, and then pretty much
Speaker 1: he's just getting at batch. He needs to see pictures
Speaker 1: right now and we'll be a part of this team.
Speaker 1: But a guy like Paraza, if you drafted him, I
Speaker 1: don't see how you can just give up on him.
Speaker 1: And you know, because he does have that stolen base
Speaker 1: up side, is an injury away from even more playing time.
Speaker 1: I mean, Julio Glaciers, you know I can't live on
Speaker 1: for Glaciers and Reque's father. Updating myself, I agree with Modica. Look,
Speaker 1: this is what I told you is he shouldn't be
Speaker 1: available in a in a fifteen team league, in your
Speaker 1: twelve team league, in a points league. You know, maybe
Speaker 1: you get rid of him in Roto. I'm still not
Speaker 1: gonna drop him just because of that speed upside that
Speaker 1: Modica mentioned. But it's it's been up and down years
Speaker 1: so far for the Reds offense. I think it's been
Speaker 1: more down. They've shown signs of coming around. Jesse Winker
Speaker 1: has a little bit, Joey Votto off to a slow start,
Speaker 1: so overall, the Red's offense hasn't been great to start
Speaker 1: the year. He's hitting with two home runs, five ribbies,
Speaker 1: and two stolen bases, so overall, he still hasn't been great,
Speaker 1: but still has two homers, still still has two steels.
Speaker 1: Greg this is a guy who has good bats to
Speaker 1: ball skills. He's actually been known for his batting average
Speaker 1: all throughout the miners, and he had a good batting
Speaker 1: average last year in the Major So ultimately, you know,
Speaker 1: I still think that he's too young where the Reds
Speaker 1: are not going to give up on him, and I
Speaker 1: think fantasy owners shouldn't be giving up on him, especially
Speaker 1: in rodal leagues. It doesn't matter twelve, fifteen teams, maybe
Speaker 1: even ten teams. I don't know if I want to
Speaker 1: give up on him in a rodal league yet, just
Speaker 1: because that's stolen basis upside, but especially fifteen teamers, he
Speaker 1: just shouldn't have been available. In my opinion, we actually
Speaker 1: dropped in the fourteen team league. In a work league,
Speaker 1: I dropped to its Escobar last week we talked about
Speaker 1: on the air. Yeah, I mean, you know, at water
Speaker 1: lass Bar is hot to like every single day when
Speaker 1: I didn't here, he has like, you know, three more hits,
Speaker 1: three more hits, he has a multi home run game.
Speaker 1: So and water Laskobar, guy who got off to a
Speaker 1: slow start. They're different players. I mean at water last
Speaker 1: is not gonna give you any stolen bases. He's not
Speaker 1: gonna give you speed. But he's sitting second in okay
Speaker 1: line up with their Diamondbacks. But he's in a good
Speaker 1: spot where he's gonna score runs. Another guy who's you know,
Speaker 1: he's gonna put the bat on the ball a lot. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's gonna have an okay batting average, has home run upside,
Speaker 1: and he's hot right now. So uh, in a head
Speaker 1: to head categories league like that, Greg, where we don't
Speaker 1: have the deepest rosters, I don't have a huge problem
Speaker 1: with it. A UM, let's continue on, shall we. And
Speaker 1: let's get to some ugly players like Eric Sogard and
Speaker 1: hundred pens. What's wrong with those guys? Greg? You don't
Speaker 1: like how they look? I know, I don't mind how
Speaker 1: they look. I really admire Eric sto guards glasses. But
Speaker 1: why are we picking them up? Well, they're hot. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is the great theory, right These players are hot
Speaker 1: right now, and the Texas Rangers one of the best
Speaker 1: lineups in the league, and you know, coming into the year,
Speaker 1: we knew they had Joey Gallo, but ultimately you're like,
Speaker 1: you know, this lineup doesn't look that good. It's still
Speaker 1: a great environment to hit in when it comes to Texas,
Speaker 1: and Hunter Pence is red hot right now and he'sn't
Speaker 1: hitting in the middle of one of the best lineups.
Speaker 1: So and I thought it's I thought, it's been really
Speaker 1: interesting that they're finding ways to get Danny Santana in
Speaker 1: the lineup too. You know, I had him in, I
Speaker 1: have him in a few leaguess. I have not dropped
Speaker 1: him yet because, uh, you know, I was worried about
Speaker 1: when rudinetto Odor came back, what are they gonna do
Speaker 1: with Danny Santana. Well, they've been playing him at first base.
Speaker 1: You know, Ronald Guzman has been out with an injury. Uh,
Speaker 1: so they really liked Danny Santana. They're trying to find
Speaker 1: ways to get him in the lineup. But Matt overall
Speaker 1: just you know, the Toronto Blue Jays had their their offense.
Speaker 1: Seems like got a shot in the arm once Lag
Speaker 1: got called up. Everyone's performing like Brandon Jury's red hot too,
Speaker 1: and so is Eric Sogard. You seem like it's gonna
Speaker 1: have to figure itself out when it when it comes
Speaker 1: to a playing time, and Freddy Galvis is healthy, healthy.
Speaker 1: It seems like they have a lot of people there,
Speaker 1: but overall, so Guard in a hundred pence the hottest
Speaker 1: guys in baseball get the Bay. You can that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that looks so Guard. The week prior I got him,
Speaker 1: I put in for Cold Tucker and somebody else, and
Speaker 1: he's probably like my third conditional bid and I had
Speaker 1: a play. I didn't have a short stop trade. Turner
Speaker 1: was out and he was fantastic this week. We saw
Speaker 1: this a couple of years ago when he was in Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: He had I don't know if it was a month,
Speaker 1: but at least a two or three week run where
Speaker 1: he was just on fire, you know, hitting for average,
Speaker 1: put a couple of balls over the over the fence.
Speaker 1: So it's another guy, you know, he couched you nothing
Speaker 1: and you write it for however limitakes and then you
Speaker 1: get off. Okay. Yeah, I mean personally I didn't pick
Speaker 1: those guys up, but why people wanted to, because I
Speaker 1: mean they're hot right now and under pints. It's just
Speaker 1: really interesting for him I mean, you know, he's been
Speaker 1: hurt a ton over the past couple of years. You know,
Speaker 1: his fantasy upside was sat because he played in San Francisco,
Speaker 1: huge ballpark. But now he's in Texas where it's a really,
Speaker 1: really good ball Parking is hitting in the middle of
Speaker 1: the wine up three homers, thirteen runs, thirteen ribbies. Accounting
Speaker 1: stats have been there, hitting the ball extremely hard. He's
Speaker 1: got a forty seven percent hard hit rate. So I
Speaker 1: agree with Matt when it comes to both of these guys.
Speaker 1: Just ride them all. They are hot, don't over spend
Speaker 1: for them. But and as soon as they, you know,
Speaker 1: start to slow down, or if they start to lose
Speaker 1: some playing time, that's all right, you cut bait. But
Speaker 1: if you could grab a few home runs from these
Speaker 1: guys or some good batting average, why not. I got it?
Speaker 1: Hey preaching the woir, my man, preaching to the choir.
Speaker 1: Greg Susman theory. Absolutely, we mentioned what closer before. We're
Speaker 1: gonna sneeze again. This is crazy. Um. We mentioned the
Speaker 1: closer before, and that was Amelia Pagott. A j Minters
Speaker 1: are the best he can to lose his job in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: He got blown up brought back the next day, just
Speaker 1: as he had before, and was close to blowing up again.
Speaker 1: Brady was brought Luke Jackson, who closed this thing out.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why this team has not signed Craig
Speaker 1: kimberal yet. It doesn't make sense to me. They're not
Speaker 1: proving themselves to be winners. Maybe they're winnings after the
Speaker 1: draft in June. I don't know. But Luke Jackson, I
Speaker 1: know he went for around the same in your main
Speaker 1: event as Emilio Pagan did. I think it's worth it, man,
Speaker 1: I really do. Matt, Yeah, I mean at this point
Speaker 1: why And I think the main reason the Braves are
Speaker 1: not signing Kimber right now has to do with the
Speaker 1: problem they had a couple of years ago where they
Speaker 1: got reprimanded by the league what they were doing with
Speaker 1: the international signings, and it would take away and pretty
Speaker 1: much most of their money. They would lose schlocks and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So like think africy June, if he's
Speaker 1: still there, they're little sign all right, I'm saying break here.
Speaker 1: When we come back. Well, we'll rip it up with
Speaker 1: Matt with some more waiver wire talk and we'll get
Speaker 1: into the two star pitchers stay around. The Fantasy Sports

Speaker 1: It's g t D week days at four pm Eastern
Speaker 1: only on f N T S Y Maddie Moo, do
Speaker 1: you want? Do you watch Barry Matt? I have not.
Speaker 1: I've heard only very good things about it, and it's
Speaker 1: probably something I will check out. But before that, I
Speaker 1: gotta do a uh I gotta do with Deadwood movies
Speaker 1: coming out. Yeah, so I hear that's something I wanted
Speaker 1: to watch. Maybe I'll do than than would have Bene. Also,
Speaker 1: because I didn't watch dead dead Wood people love it,
Speaker 1: so maybe I'll do the same thing to Yeah, a
Speaker 1: machine is amazing. I watched Barry, but last night as
Speaker 1: like I couldn't do it because I'm just like I
Speaker 1: needed a break. I was like, I watch I watched
Speaker 1: Barry the next night, so I planning watch Barry would
Speaker 1: get home for work tonight. Frank, do it. I haven't
Speaker 1: watched it, but I know I've seen the ads. I've
Speaker 1: seen like some commercials about it. I know you've talked
Speaker 1: about it a lot. Looks awesome, sounds awesome. I myself
Speaker 1: have not watched it at all. I'm Bill Hayter guy,
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to watch it. Let's um, it's gotta
Speaker 1: ride up the weaver wire talk for now. And there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of names on this is Frank. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask you about Thai France because I don't know who
Speaker 1: that is. So Tay France is a prospect for the
Speaker 1: Padres who was absolutely destroying the ball down in Triple A.
Speaker 1: UM they called him up. He doesn't really have anywhere
Speaker 1: to play right now, so I think this is someone
Speaker 1: just kind of taking a shot and seeing like if
Speaker 1: an injury occurs or if he gets, you know, opportunities
Speaker 1: to play a little bit here and there, like he performs,
Speaker 1: like maybe they'll give him more of a chance to play.
Speaker 1: But in nineteen games this year at Triple A he
Speaker 1: had nine home runs, twenty ribbies and was batting four three.
Speaker 1: He was actually the projected third basement before they signed
Speaker 1: Manny Micado greg but that obviously went away once they
Speaker 1: signed Machado. Um. Ultimately, I think it's kind of like
Speaker 1: a dark throw seeing if something comes of it. But
Speaker 1: right now he doesn't really have plenty time. So though
Speaker 1: I did take the doct throw in in the main
Speaker 1: event with Frank only because I had Fernando Tatis in
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues and I didn't see it live.
Speaker 1: But when I sure what happened to him, it doesn't
Speaker 1: look good and it seems like he's gonna be out
Speaker 1: at least a a short possible lengthy stay on the
Speaker 1: l and I could shoot to move him with shadow
Speaker 1: and given France a shot at third. Okay, did you
Speaker 1: see the split that fernanoid? They did see it. Greg
Speaker 1: actually got a few listeners and watchers. Um, Actus, if
Speaker 1: you can actually reenact that? I cannot sure, Yes, I
Speaker 1: mean I think we can set it up like we can.
Speaker 1: I can have Alex set up the cameras correctly. I
Speaker 1: can't do it, but I'm pretty sure Fernano Tatis couldn't
Speaker 1: do it either, but he's still attempted it. Do you
Speaker 1: want me to tear or whatever? He Next time you
Speaker 1: see Gregg, he's like in a wheelchair. We're rolling them
Speaker 1: into the studio, right, perfect. Well, I mean, we always
Speaker 1: knew you were gonna be the first one in a
Speaker 1: wheelchair just because you're old, but now it's gonna be
Speaker 1: for a different reason. Brand, you're a good man. Matt Modica,
Speaker 1: you're a good man. I've obviously read and like watched
Speaker 1: a lot of like recap stuff after the episode. One
Speaker 1: of the funniest things I read was I wish that
Speaker 1: I could just leave social situation is the way that
Speaker 1: Brand does. He's like a good luck I'm leaving now what.
Speaker 1: I wish I could just leave awkward situations too. I'm
Speaker 1: leaving now. Yeah, let me just you know, go turn
Speaker 1: and do a bunch of Ravens and stuff. I'm gone.
Speaker 1: Why why did he do that? By the way, why
Speaker 1: did he become a raven? I don't know what was
Speaker 1: the point is that? I mean, I think that's one
Speaker 1: of the biggest mysteries from last night is you don't
Speaker 1: really hear what you said that you don't know like
Speaker 1: what he was doing while he was like working into
Speaker 1: these ravens, didn't do anything well, I mean he was
Speaker 1: ward for a long time. We might find out in
Speaker 1: the next couple of episodes, like maybe he was doing
Speaker 1: something of significant Probably not, I mean he knows, he
Speaker 1: never really does anything of significance. Yeah, you're right, that
Speaker 1: was my brand. Brand. Yeah, it's alright brand. So one name,
Speaker 1: uh that's not on this list. That was the second
Speaker 1: highest bid in our G S T league after Carter
Speaker 1: cybu seven dollars Matt for Griffin Canning. Can you tell
Speaker 1: us who Griffin Cannoning is put for the Angels? Uh?
Speaker 1: As long as he gets the hittings. The Angels are,
Speaker 1: you know, desperate for pitching. This is a team here
Speaker 1: in a year out where their best arms have been
Speaker 1: Like Tyler Skaggs, who's who I love, but it's always
Speaker 1: on the I l a couple of times a year. Uh,
Speaker 1: Andrew Hanny disappointing. What's happened to him? So he's a
Speaker 1: guy that, yeah, you should be after. I mean a
Speaker 1: hundred seventy seven dollars is it's a nice amount to
Speaker 1: spend on him. But if he gets the innings, you know,
Speaker 1: if you look at his minor league numbers and stuff,
Speaker 1: especially in this environment of pitching, you gotta take a swinger.
Speaker 1: You have take the shot, take the swings here and there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is another prospect, you know, kind of similar to
Speaker 1: like Nate Low. He's a picture, but you know, just
Speaker 1: take a shot, you know, stash him on your ben.
Speaker 1: See what happens here. A hundred and seventy seven dollars.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done all that, Greg, you know, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't you know, maybe three or four percent something like that.
Speaker 1: You take a shot here and so he happens. But
Speaker 1: you know you want to be aggressive and get your guy.
Speaker 1: That's fine. Uh, he's the top ranked Angels pitching prospect,
Speaker 1: doesn't It doesn't mean all that much because they don't
Speaker 1: have like the greatest farm system. But um, the number
Speaker 1: was in the minor leagues three point to seven e
Speaker 1: r A and twenty career minor league starts, a hundred
Speaker 1: and forty two strikeouts and a hundred nine and a
Speaker 1: third endings pitched. So um, I agree with taking a shot.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I would have been bad aggressive
Speaker 1: now that minor league. Those numbers that you mentioned, they're
Speaker 1: all little skewed because he was a college pitchers. So
Speaker 1: he debuted in High A ball, immediately moved up the
Speaker 1: Double A ball, pitch really really well in Double A,
Speaker 1: and then quickly moved up to Triple A last year,
Speaker 1: so he hit all three levels last season, where that
Speaker 1: e r A was five point four nine in Triple
Speaker 1: A although the fifth and actually working considerably lower than that.
Speaker 1: Then this year, after the fast start cap or nine
Speaker 1: really good for this guy, and you like that are
Speaker 1: all close to ten nine and a half for Griffin Canning. Uh,
Speaker 1: the r A and fit ridiculous this year. Obviously Matt
Speaker 1: Like's looked at x FIT that was about three and
Speaker 1: a half. There's definitely some talent here and we'll see.
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's good enough, he's gonna stick in
Speaker 1: this rotation. So I'm interested. They need all the help
Speaker 1: they could get, you know, like Matt was saying, And
Speaker 1: this was part of my issue, Greg, when we were
Speaker 1: kind of running down over unders for DOUBLEB teams heading
Speaker 1: into the season and whether not we we think teams
Speaker 1: can compete for a playoff spot. I was out on
Speaker 1: the Angels because, yeah, they got Mike Trout, they got
Speaker 1: the best player in baseball, but they've done a terrible
Speaker 1: job of surrounding him with talent, you know, like Cody
Speaker 1: Allen has been a disaster for this team too. Starting
Speaker 1: pitching has been bad. As long as Mike Trout has
Speaker 1: been on the team, they haven't had starting pitching. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have a great supporting cast either. They did co
Speaker 1: up Luis Rangifo, who I picked up in the main
Speaker 1: event and you confirmed, now I'm not I have and
Speaker 1: you confirm what his how do you pronounce his last name?
Speaker 1: It actually sounded good though, Actually got actually gotta ask
Speaker 1: because he's really good the pronunciations. Yeah, overall, the Angels
Speaker 1: haven't done a great job of surrounding Meg Trout with talent.
Speaker 1: But I do agree that if this guy performs well,
Speaker 1: they need all the help that you get. So again,
Speaker 1: take a shot. You need a starting pitcher who has
Speaker 1: a little bit upside here. Griffin Canning is one of those.
Speaker 1: Griffin Canning one of those high upside pitchers that you
Speaker 1: should consider. Uh, first start. I believe it is tomorrow tomorrow, right,
Speaker 1: is the eight Royals killer? Maybe I read that right?
Speaker 1: Neat load new that's facing um, Kansas City. Those projects
Speaker 1: mixed up a bit. It's yeah against Toronto. This is trying.
Speaker 1: Oh lad, what do you think of lad? This weekend? Gentlemen? Um?
Speaker 1: I thought Friday was interesting. So I was watching every
Speaker 1: at that very intently, and the camera worked. I think
Speaker 1: they did. On that one that he hits the left field.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, he got it. He crushed it.
Speaker 1: They're like doing yeah, yeah, you see the home run
Speaker 1: and he like it, catches it at the wall, and
Speaker 1: really this is like John Sterling of like cameraman right here,
Speaker 1: like you know, like man, I was. I was so
Speaker 1: let down by that. Overall. I think, uh, the a
Speaker 1: bass that I saw of him, he looked very composed. Overall.
Speaker 1: I saw that bat on Saturday where he struck out
Speaker 1: with the bases loaded. He started out looking Actually it
Speaker 1: was a great pitch by bern Anderson though on the
Speaker 1: inner part of the plate, just just nipped the inside
Speaker 1: corner of the plate. But overall, I think he's he
Speaker 1: seemed composed. I might be putting a little bit too much,
Speaker 1: too much pressure on himself, but he's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. Don't worry about flood. He'll be all right.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried that he's ignited. Ignited the Blue Jays,
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. I mean he was part of the
Speaker 1: comebacks too. I mean believe he scored. Uh, I mean
Speaker 1: he got he he extended the inning on Friday night,
Speaker 1: I believe it was. And then Brendan Jury comes up
Speaker 1: and hits the home run. Matt, what have you seen
Speaker 1: from Vladimcgrel so far? Yeah? No, look like you said,
Speaker 1: you just be patient. These kids are gonna be awesome.
Speaker 1: I was joking on Twitter, I said I was told
Speaker 1: lad didn't strike out. He struck out twice in that game.
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, he also was facing Chris Bassett, who
Speaker 1: you know last week was just unhitable, striking at sixteen
Speaker 1: batters in twelve intings because somebody I also picked up
Speaker 1: for from the cheap just to see you to help.
Speaker 1: Chris Bassett is gonna be I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is real, but you know he did strike after four
Speaker 1: pretenting the bat as you faced last week, got a
Speaker 1: new kind of curve or certain spots might uh label
Speaker 1: it differently, but he seems to be doing something different
Speaker 1: and somebody I wanted to take a shot. We're a
Speaker 1: low in industment. Yeah, I was actually gonna ask about
Speaker 1: Chris Bassett because he did have that hot week. Another
Speaker 1: guy that showed out a toll about it is yet yesterday,
Speaker 1: Rinaldo Lopez, you I think you tweeted out Frank. I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't know if I'm reading this. I
Speaker 1: don't know you're texted me that or you tweeted it out.
Speaker 1: I don't know I'm reading this right, but I think
Speaker 1: you struck out fourteen guys. That was me. I said,
Speaker 1: you know, I might still be drunk from last night,
Speaker 1: but Rinaldo Lopez has you know, fourteen strikeouts in twenty
Speaker 1: four swinging strikes. Both were career highs for him. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: he was. He was awesome, but that just means that
Speaker 1: this week we're gonna get the U six earned run.
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't escape the second inning performance from
Speaker 1: Ronaldo Lopez coming believe he faces the Red Sox, so
Speaker 1: it's definitely not really the best match rank. He won't
Speaker 1: TOAs too. That gives the Red Socks also not a
Speaker 1: great A nice little, nice little test there. For by
Speaker 1: the way, Mookie, really look, he really did get hot
Speaker 1: after we called him out. I told you that I
Speaker 1: told people to buy low on him if you can.
Speaker 1: I mean people were pulled out. Oh my god, that
Speaker 1: was crazy. That was nuts. Yeah. So if you guys
Speaker 1: have a player that you want me to call out,
Speaker 1: let me know, let me know and hopefully I can
Speaker 1: bring him some good luck. That's funny. Um, Ronaldo opens
Speaker 1: against the Red Sox this well, uh has blow up
Speaker 1: definitely written all over it. That's it? Um? Are you so?
Speaker 1: Yesterday Matt Danny's Antanta played first base for the Rangers
Speaker 1: as they look to continue to get him in a
Speaker 1: lot of with routing net Odor back and once again successful. Now,
Speaker 1: i'd like to I wanted to read this. I have
Speaker 1: this are my plans for today to read this to
Speaker 1: you because you are certain players that wrote a world
Speaker 1: loves and there's certain players that wrote a world hates.
Speaker 1: Danny Santanta is one that they just hate. Like we've
Speaker 1: been talking about listening. He's hot. You gotta play him.
Speaker 1: He's been really good. Yesterday he with three or four
Speaker 1: and an RB I have stolen base, he scored three runs,
Speaker 1: so it was he's been really good as of late.
Speaker 1: We talked about him picking him up and he's kind
Speaker 1: of riding this wave. A world said this. Santana's second
Speaker 1: three hit game in a row was part of the
Speaker 1: seventeen Hit Party party the Rangers put up blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Somehow the twenty eight year old who's bounced
Speaker 1: around on minor league contracts and struggled to gain any
Speaker 1: traction of the major league level in recent years, he's
Speaker 1: now batting three five and three sixty one ov P
Speaker 1: with two homers, five steals, that RB eyes and thirteen
Speaker 1: runs scored. As noted in this space previously, he's a
Speaker 1: bad bet to continue to break like this. Every advanced
Speaker 1: matric suggests as much. So. His only real path becatined
Speaker 1: fantasy relevance is through his legs, and even then a
Speaker 1: poor hitter with no on base skills won't be stealing
Speaker 1: very much, and he want to ride the hot hand,
Speaker 1: be able to be on the lookout for his impending
Speaker 1: decline because it's coming. Wow, they've ripped him a new import.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I think Danny said Panna slept with
Speaker 1: that guy's wife for something. He must have. Look, I mean,
Speaker 1: you could hate on the guy, but and I just
Speaker 1: feel like, whatever it was a week or two ago
Speaker 1: he was going for correct I put on bitch for him,
Speaker 1: but nowhere near that. And look, if you if you
Speaker 1: want him two weeks ago, you're pretty damn happy with
Speaker 1: the Danny Shandona performance. Of course you are. We picked
Speaker 1: him up in in g set because we lost all
Speaker 1: the meadows, we lost Dolly Marte, we have no standing.
Speaker 1: So I mean, look, it's hard to find outfielders in
Speaker 1: in in five outfielder leagues, and now he's gonna have
Speaker 1: first base eligibility again. The Rangers are trying to find
Speaker 1: ways to get this guy in the line up. They
Speaker 1: really like him. They like his power speed combination that
Speaker 1: he's giving them four now and then again it's another guy.
Speaker 1: Just ride him while he's hot. It doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: he's gonna do this all season long. But I picked
Speaker 1: him up in the Great Fantasy Basic Invitational and in
Speaker 1: G s T and the week that he just gave
Speaker 1: me paid it. Paid for it absolutely, man. And it
Speaker 1: looked the Rangers again. They've scored the second most runs
Speaker 1: in baseball this season. What thought that the Mariners number one,
Speaker 1: the Rangers number two? Two best offenses in baseball to
Speaker 1: start the season. But they're hot. Their entire line up
Speaker 1: is get get done right now? He believe were we
Speaker 1: could do about Tatis? This is so ridiculous and it's terrible.
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I was actually like almost tail last night
Speaker 1: when I saw that. Yeah, how about so this man,
Speaker 1: this is the situation that we're in waivers ran overnight
Speaker 1: in the in the G s C League, we had
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis. We put in four I believe four or
Speaker 1: five middle infielders and didn't get any of them. So
Speaker 1: we might end up just taking a zero here from
Speaker 1: the middle infield. We put in for Orlando Arco, like
Speaker 1: a seven dollar bid out of a thousand, and we
Speaker 1: actually tied. What are the chances of that we tied
Speaker 1: a bid for Orlando Arcia. He was like our last
Speaker 1: bid option, and he went to the other person and
Speaker 1: we lost out on Louis frank Gifo by like three bucks.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of bad luck last night. Matt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is That's something that I've noticed happening a lot more.
Speaker 1: It's only been a month or showing through the year.
Speaker 1: It's kind of happened a lot more. Happened to me
Speaker 1: one time earlier this season, and I'm seeing where I
Speaker 1: have like quite a few conditional bids and I lost
Speaker 1: all of them. I figured it out. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: line up, Hayesew's a you are. I was able to
Speaker 1: take Tatis out. I manipulated it. Oh would you? We
Speaker 1: had someone that we can move around, So we moved
Speaker 1: Anderthon Simmons from our middle endfield spot to short stop.
Speaker 1: I moved Danny Santana from outfields middle endfield. I moved
Speaker 1: Eric Thames from first base to outfield Ala first base. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what, we might be better just taking the zero.
Speaker 1: You might want to leave Fernando Tatis in the lineup
Speaker 1: because the way that haze saglars right now, if he
Speaker 1: gives you another oh for fifteen weeks or something like that. Well,
Speaker 1: this is the week, says Mike Florida. This is the
Speaker 1: week we're about to find out four games at home
Speaker 1: against Colorado and then the Mets. So is that like
Speaker 1: they don't have the games you the opportunity should be
Speaker 1: there and you got you got Thames on that team too,
Speaker 1: so hopefully they split it nice for you. You know,
Speaker 1: it's amazing. By the way, and we still own Alex Would.
Speaker 1: We tried our best. I mean, he just won't leave
Speaker 1: our team. Florio loves Alex Would. We've tried our best
Speaker 1: to drop him last night and uh to no avail Maddimo,
Speaker 1: real quick, I want to just go rapid fire with
Speaker 1: some of these two star pitchers and you let me
Speaker 1: know whether or not they're in your lineup or not.
Speaker 1: Just the Marga two starts in your line up or not.
Speaker 1: Everybody loves him. Look at the X FIP and his
Speaker 1: other stuff. I don't like him, Sierra and X him
Speaker 1: Chris Paddock and you're a lot of or not two starts.
Speaker 1: He gets the Dodgers nut. He's been too good. You
Speaker 1: have to play him. Michael, some regression, Michael Pinion to
Speaker 1: Matt Out, Jake Odorreesi out Tanner row Ark. He's a
Speaker 1: green flip, but he's not getting the innings. He hasn't
Speaker 1: given up more than three runs and any starts. Animal
Speaker 1: Sanchez out, Jake Junas, Jake Junas. I'm gonna roll it,
Speaker 1: and I think he's pitched better than his status. I
Speaker 1: gotta worry about the home run ball and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: but I think he's better than what he's shown. I
Speaker 1: actually agree with you. Last, but not least, your boy
Speaker 1: Adam waynewright in there or not? Haddam, he's not alone
Speaker 1: with my boys, left my teage and he's out. He's out,
Speaker 1: That is Matt d It's all his work over at
Speaker 1: the Athletic dot com. Follow on Twitter at CTM Baseball.
Speaker 1: He writes up about all the two start pitchers as well,
Speaker 1: So make sure you head on over to the Athletic
