WEBVTT - 5/6, Part 1: Modica Monday, FAAB Results, Two-Start SP 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:09.760 You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy best 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:26.239 Friends Forever, To to to Dia, to do too, to 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:34.640 do Dina too. Yeah, this is the Fantasy best Friends 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:39.440 Forever here in the Fantasy Sports Ringing Network alongside Raggy staff. Well, 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.559 I am Greg Sauceman that Moodica here as well from 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.879 Medica Monday. How's going, Frankie? I'm doing all right, you know, 0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.280 to be honest, I have a little banged up like 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.800 this fluctuation and weather like kind of like one day 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.240 it's warm, one day it's cold and rainy. It's all 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.320 over the place. Uh. Drank a decent amount this weekend too, 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:04.360 So I've been better overall though, like yesterday seeing endgame, 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:09.200 thought Game of Thrones was awesome. All right, how do 0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:12.600 you sleep? I was the weekend? My weekend was miserable. Man, 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.880 it was long. I so you want a long weekend? No, 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:18.959 not not this kind of long weekend. So like last Thursday, 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.319 I came on Friday and so I had a few 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.240 beers on Thursday night and it wasn't feeling good like 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.480 you saw me. We all went out Friday night and 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.399 you know, drank there as well. Then Saturday I had 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.720 this party, drank some wine, came back, drink some beer. 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:34.039 I was drinking all night. Then yesterday was saying to 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.199 my I went to my dad's who had shots lined 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.360 up for us when we got there, Like you said 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.680 there would be Like I said, there were be healer shots. Well, 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.039 but the thing is you do one and then he 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.360 just he just pours the next one. That's what happens. 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:50.640 It's not it was fright. I just felt like my 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.160 friends were over like two thirty on Saturday night and 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.120 I had to be my dad's like pretty early. I 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.880 was like exhausted from this week, exhausted. I was probably 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.600 doing He's doing well, man, he's doing well. But I 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.880 wanted to sleep last night. I had some trouble falling asleep. Um, 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:07.720 and they went to sleep and I woke up very refreshed, 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.440 which is nice. I feel good now. But I did 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.800 have a great weekend. I was just tired all weekend. 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.079 It sounds like you had fun. It sounds like you're 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.640 just complaining because you're kind of old. Maddiemo. What's going 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.160 on you man? Happy Monday? Frank, would you like your 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.840 shout at tequila? I'm down now, bring him down, Bring 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:32.760 him on down Happy Britos. Yeah what, but no, I agree. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.239 I took Game of Thrones was actually really good last night. 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.560 UH won some fat bits and you know we got 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.440 an early game this week. Give me honest with you. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.880 I really like Thrones last night. I really didn't. They 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:45.760 were just telling me downstairs and said, oh yeah, Greg 0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:49.040 hated last night's episodes. I really, I was really disappointed. Bot. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.480 It was better than last week. I thought it. I 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.679 thought it dragged a lot. I thought that there was 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.280 way too much like fan service and Brandon Jamie's literally 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.079 just all the fans want to Brann and Jamie. Let's 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:02.679 give him Brandon. Jamee me, this is stupid. As a 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:07.040 wrestling fan should be able to appreciate service. But didn't 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:12.720 you love the second episode, which basically all service? Agreed, 0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.680 I'm done with the fan service now, Matt. We did it. 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.760 We don't need another episode of it. I completely agree. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.359 And then I said this last season, in the season 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.960 before that, but you can't spend the first three seasons 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.640 going from point A to point B like it takes 0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.600 the entire season to get there, and then in this 0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.080 season because it's the last few episodes, like they go 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.880 to King's landing by the staff of a finger and 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.280 a guy that's literally in the water using arrows to 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.560 kill a dragon is then back with Cercy within five minutes. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.440 They're like bothered the crop out of me. And I thought, Matt, 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.040 that would bother you too. I mean it does. But 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.960 we're at the point I think once the old man 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.120 when they ran out of his material, I know he 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:57.880 still consults. It hasn't been the same and good. I 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.000 still enjoy it tremendously, but I was pretty I thought that. 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:05.600 I thought the the moment of the whole show was 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.720 Arias Stock breaking hearts. I like that. That was great. 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.680 I loved it. I I actually read a pretty interesting 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.040 analogy about um, the guys who took over writing the 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:23.520 show after George R. Martin. Yeah, it's it's like it's 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.360 it's like an artist who it's really good at sketching 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.840 other people's work, but now they have to do their 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.640 own work, and you can just tell that it's noticeably different, Like, yeah, 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.479 it's actually like a total that's great. Like the like 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.720 season six, seven, and the first six seasons were really good, right, 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.400 Season seven and eight seem like they've been a little 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.000 bit rush and a little bit more Hollywood overall. Exactly. 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.040 I really last night just because I felt like it 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.479 was a call back to we had a bunch of 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.840 different things that we saw earlier on. We had that 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.760 all season long, will be fair to me, it felt 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.400 like more so than every before, like we had all 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.520 these callbacks like old things that used to happen, Like 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.000 the conversation between Tyrian Andvaris that was like so old 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.160 school Game of Thrones. I mean that that was I 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.440 don't agree that's having everything arras Barrats hasn't been like 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.120 the Spider in a while, sure, but like you have 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.479 the last week, you have Milissandre and already have a conference, 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.440 the same conversation they had. It seem two that the 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.560 same thing, right, It's just overall it just felt like 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.839 they were It was just they give you a little 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.480 bit of everything, Like there was a little bit of comedy, 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.880 There was drinking, there was a sex scene. There was 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:30.320 like multiple deaths. Like also it was ridiculous the dragon 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.560 died from these arrows after they had a hundred thousand 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.520 weights on them last week, like a billion things trying 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:41.480 to kill this dragon and he just swapped them away. Yeah, 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:42.800 I mean I think it's a little bit easier to 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.839 like shake off some like dead people other than getting 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.800 the dead. The dead people was pounding on you. There 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.920 was the question I had, how if she's flying over 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.880 the you know, she over the ocean, how do you 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.760 how do they not see the ships? So that was 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.560 my first That was my first day, you, Matt. The 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.200 second issue is one dragon goes down. Right, she sees this, 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.039 she's next to the dragon it goes down. Why doesn't 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:13.000 she immediately just blow fire and kill everybody immediately? I'm 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.159 kind of with you. My wife was very sad, though 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.719 very sick. Really, yeah, she was sad about the dragon. 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:24.120 Mr Modco set about the drag. We had to press 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.280 pores for a minute. We got the mad the Mad 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.920 Queen has arrived. Some would argue that the mad Queen 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.760 has been in How are all along, Greg, No, mad 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.840 Queen's about to Well, I'm just referring to sure, she's 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.560 pretty crazy, so do we? So I guess with two 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:43.240 episodes ago, who do you think ends up on the throne. Well, 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.800 my my pick before the season was John Snow and 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.720 I'm sticking by it. See, I'm just hoping it's not 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.520 John Snow. Ordinarius. That's just too obvious. The show has 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.760 never been about being obvious. I felt reading the books 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.240 she years ago, it would be Gendri and Aria. But 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.480 are you know, kind of killed that one for me. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.599 So I think, in a crazy way, a great ending 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:11.920 would be winning. It would be nobody expects. Everybody's expecting 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.240 to see how she dies and how Aria kills it. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.560 I don't know, man, I'm really being Songs is gonna 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.840 end to the throne at this point. Who can't keep 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.240 a secret? But who look at secret? But like that 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.080 she that was another issue right like in seven at 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:28.560 one point of this one, I didn't notice this one. 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.520 It was like, tell Songs of the secret, sons, I 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.880 couldn't hold the secret for one scene. The next scene 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.720 she tells the Darian. Well, I mean I've read a 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.240 lot about it. It's very like what she's doing right now, 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:42.280 little finger. So that's cool. So I like that, Like 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.840 that to me is awesome. She's clearly little fingering the 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.880 crap out of this, which is awesome. Maybe we should 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:50.960 talk Basbo why I don't know. People are getting mad 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:52.480 at it. I don't know. And every other podcast, the 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.000 Athletics podcast Game of Thrones, Pat Mano podcast, Game of Thrones. 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:57.960 I can't Game of Thrones for the first twelve minutes. 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.160 Too bad, We're gave Thrones in right now. Well have 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.120 two more weeks to do this anyway, Hey man, I'm 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.240 with you. I'm cool with it. Maybe it's a start 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.320 today that I don't know people are all upset about. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.680 I just don't understand how people are playing on platforms 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:17.480 still in twenty n team that the whole week's lineup 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:22.440 locks on first pitch. That I don't get. You don't. 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.920 I don't get that. It's kind of similar to the 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.680 way fantasy football works too, Like if your players are 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.960 playing at one, those players should lock. The rest of 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.120 your players if they played four, if they played eight, 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.360 if they play on a night football, it shouldn't lock. 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:35.880 It should be the same thing for fantasy baseball. So 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:40.360 I agree, yea, I'm completely with you. Let's get to 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.839 the waivers now, though, because I feel like you s 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.640 thought my momentum friend, So um, I'm gonna let's go. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:46.959 Let's get into waivers now. High bid this week we 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.040 said it wasn't a great week of bids. Who in 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.680 the main event was the highest bid this week? Frank. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.600 The highest bid this week was in my league in 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.600 my main event was Griffin Canny for a hundred and 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:00.720 thirty five dollars all right, number one Vivin Cannon. We 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.760 thought we had talked about him. Make makes sense. Not 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.440 a massive amount by any means, but Griffin Canning goes 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.360 for the most matt where you went on him. I 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.800 listen on him in several leagues. I got him in 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:14.320 a few. In the main event with Frank, I had 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.920 Low and Canning. I forget who I had on top 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.720 of each other. I had them. I was like the 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.839 top two picks. I had it at ninety nine. I 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:24.439 moved it to one on nine. I should have just 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.840 left it at ninety nine. But I think you know 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.800 what a guy like Canning. It's the strikeout upside. Uh. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:35.199 It's a team that's so desperate for starting pitching, and 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.719 in this landscape, everybody you know, you just you have 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.360 to keep adding strikeouts. There's more strikeouts. Everybody's striking people out, 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.480 so in order to be competitive, especially in the fifteen 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:51.040 team league, you gotta keep adding that factory. I agree, 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.640 i'm i'm I liked what I saw from Griffin Canning 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.480 the first start too. He wasn't terribly efficient in that 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:58.600 start creak. He could, he didn't go deep into that game. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.360 But no prout with the fast bill. He has to 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.880 breaking pitches that he used, and I like the bite 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.800 that I've seen on those on those two breaking pitches 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.520 that he was using. And he's got a two start 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.719 week this week or two. So that's just adds a 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:15.360 little bit, you know, adds a little more uh price 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.680 there on the fab bid a little bit more. But overall, 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.520 I mean they think he has someone that should stick around. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.920 The Angels are desperate for pitching. Their pitching staff has 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.600 just got awful. They continue to throw Matt Harvey out there. 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.440 I'm sorry, Modica, but the days of the Dark Knight 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.800 are long gone. Oh yeah, no, I'm with you on 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.840 the days of the Dark Knight. One quick thing is, 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.959 I'm not so certain Canning has a too start week 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.800 because I think Sunday Nick Tropiano is a very real 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:44.800 possibility and a six man rotation, So you know, it 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.000 a little dependency how that works out, but I think 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.760 for now I have it as Trupiano on Sunday, others 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.200 having his Cannon getting the start, So we'll see, Yeah, 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:54.800 I've heard some rumors about this too, that he might 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.480 not have a two start weeks, so yeah, something to 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.000 pay attention to. But either way, um, he does have 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.160 some upside and I don't hate the price that he 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.640 went for here, a hundred and thirty five dollars. But 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:09.040 big Nicky T. Huh Nick Tropiano, that's coming in? God, 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.280 this is this is a thing again. I wish it 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:15.040 confused with Nick Triviano and Nick Tefish's about big nicky Man, 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.680 Big Nicky T. Yeah, both guys don't deserve a nickname. 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:24.520 Not great starting pitchers. But for whatever, we're still rolling 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.600 out with that. Well, that would suck if he ruins, 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.200 if he's the one to ruin to star to star 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.640 week here for Griffin Kenny overall, I mean, you know, 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.320 if they go with a six man rotation, it's gonna 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.280 be pretty hard to get two star weeks out of anybody. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.480 It's just it's just a matter of do they continue 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.000 to do it week in a week out. I guess 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.560 we'll find out. Ye absolutely all right, who's next? My 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:48.199 friend set up? Is your boy Matt Modica fitting on 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.199 Nate Low got him for a hundred and nine dollars, 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.000 which I don't. I don't hate the price either. I've 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.959 seen other leagues where um, you know, we play in 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.280 the league together. The g D D D fifty team 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.679 total lead, he went for thirty five dollars out of 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:06.160 a hundred. So that's thirty of your fab and uh, 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.240 Modica get them here for for one or nine. What 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.760 do you like about a Modica? I just think he's 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:14.000 a guy that's hit at every level. Uh, he should 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:17.200 be in the heart of that lineup. One up that 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:18.800 As of the other day when I was watching the 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.800 Raised game, they had scored in the first inning nineteen 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.880 times out of in their first thirty two games. So 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.320 you know, there's something thing you have to you know, 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.360 you gotta take shots. I think the guy has. You know, 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.360 I don't think he's gonna be a batting average drain. 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:37.040 I think he can produce runs. And you know, one 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.840 thing I will have to do going forward is really 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.600 tighten the wild. This is where I'm usually at in 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.360 like mid June as far as when I have left hand, 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.760 but I'm like a month I had a schedule this 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.719 year and pretty much with most of my teams. But 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.040 I think once you hit that spot, you just gotta, 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.360 you know, reassess and restrategize. But I'm happy with the 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.760 players I've got good, you know. So Nate Low, you 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.400 in our just hely went for one sixty three, so 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.640 not just similar, um, not too dissimilar to say to 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:10.280 what Matt throughout one oh nine. And in the main 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.679 event Nate Low, Uh, well, we'll see. We we we own 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.600 him in the island. It in a couple of leaks actually, 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.760 so let's hope it goes well. Yeah, he hasn't put 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.319 much together yet, but I agree with, you know, everything 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.520 that Matt said about him. He's hit across all levels. 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.440 Last year across I believe it was two or three 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.320 different levels, he had three thirty seven home runs, So 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.400 the hit tool seems pretty legit. And he's got a 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:32.520 little bit of pop two and its Tampa Bay Ray's lineup. 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.360 It's been a pretty good one all season long. I 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.920 think they've been pretty surprising. They always find ways to 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.600 kind of just put together a scrappy line up. Scrappy's 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.880 probably the word that you're always gonna use when associated 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.160 with the Rays. They is kind of piece things together, 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.840 but it works out. And this is all with Austin 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.679 Medals on the I L two. So he'll be back 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.520 at some point and that will make the lineup even better. Great, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.160 I hope, so, I hope that's that's the case. Frank, 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:58.920 I think it's um. I think it's funny. I'll say 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.160 this rafter the break when hitting to the closers here 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.800 with David Steo has a robos. I want to get 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.960 Shawn Kelly as well, So I'm gonna save that um 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.160 for after the break to go to Hudson went for 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:12.160 eighty seven dollars Matt in your main event. How come 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:16.840 almost ten percent was spent? Hudson? I mean, I guess 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.960 it's the two start week. He was somebody I wasn't 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.040 sure I was gonna get it. I thought maybe Daniel 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:27.560 pont de leone Frank just in the uh in over 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.200 the weekend, But it looks like Hudson, we'll get that. 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.840 To start. He did beat up and pitched very well 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.760 against a beat up on nationals Aline per meant to say, so, 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.520 I'm not too crazy about him. I think maybe his 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.800 best attribute for this team at some point is a 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:46.120 multiple inning reliever. I think he could really excel in 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.560 that aspect. But right now, Sair Lewis has given him 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.400 the chance and it's not somebody I said, I just 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.200 don't trust him really, going, uh, don't really trust him 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:58.920 this week? Yeah, the it's one matchup against Philly. It's 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.480 one matchup again and Pittsburgh here, So obviously really like 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.520 the Pittsburgh matchup. Although the lineup has come around a 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.720 little bit. Brian Reynolds is playing well, starring Marte Hits 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.600 the walk off homer yesterday, Gregory Polanco back in the 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:15.720 lineup as well, so it is a lineup that's coming around. Overall, Um, 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:20.280 still a favorable matchup, but against Philadelphia, I don't love 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.320 that one. I kind of agree with Matt like he 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.000 wasn't a guy that I was adding, I guess in 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.000 a fifteen team or if you're just you know, you're 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.440 just tasting the two star weeks. I get it. I 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.400 wouldn't have spent that much money on him, and overall, 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.400 just I don't really like the player that much either. 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.160 So I wasn't in on the bidding on Dakota Hudson anywhere. 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.800 I didn't anywhere either. That was he was honestly just 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.040 not even on my radar here. Um this week I 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:49.120 kept saying it was a not a huge, huge pitching 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:52.040 week or it really hit her week. Either. Some of 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:53.680 the names that we went over, the names we've gone 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.280 over for a while. One more name before we hit 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.160 the break. It's Rani Rodriga As We started a DFS 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.400 on Friday night because he was super cheap. But he's 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:06.000 betting like fifth for the Tigers. He's a pretty good guys. Yeah, 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.720 he has been. I text you about you, thisterday. Um, 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.080 he's interesting. I looked at his numbers, only twelve games, 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.400 but he has three homers, nine runs scored, eight rbi. 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.400 Is depending on where you play. He has eligibility everywhere too. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.840 Uh so eight percent walk great, twenty six percent line 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.520 drive rate, forty four percent flyballs, fifty percent hard hit rate. 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.840 So he's hitting the ball hard. He's hitting enough flyballs, 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:30.760 he's hitting line drives. The Tiger's lineup is not a 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.480 great one, but it seems like for the time being, 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.720 Greg he's gonna play quite regularly and he's hitting the 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.000 ball extremely hard. So I understand people wanted to jump 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.560 in here. Matt, did you have any bids on Ronnie Rodriguez? 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.000 I did not, Um, I remember that game A week 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.320 or two ago versus the Red Sox. So it was 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:52.360 a Monday or Tuesday earlier game where he just went 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:58.240 off put on a show versus I remember that, Uh 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.520 first thing I came to Mars would have a guest 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.800 was a short stop. You know, I doubt it if 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:07.439 you want to spend a couple of dollars, you know, 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:11.359 if it's like a free bid, why not. Right, If 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.200 it's it's a free bid, why not forty bucks um 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.800 in one league? That more than more than I would 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.119 have expected, though, you know, maybe like a two percent 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:24.120 something like that out of a thousand. But don't underrestate. 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.840 Don't underrestate. I like him, but what do you We'll 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.119 get into the closers are picked up in the latest 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:38.359 injuries as well to BFFs. I'm on that.

A couple 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.199 of starting pitture injuries I want to get to in 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.240 a few moments out of nowhere ridiculous and David Price 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:31.200 and Jamison ti On I was very annoying, very terrible. Um, 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:32.879 but we'll get to that in a little bit. I 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:34.480 want to go over the relievers that went for a 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.679 whole lot of money in all of our leagues. We 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.159 begin UH in the main event once again with Diego 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.320 Castillo for the Tampa Bay Raised. It's been a mess 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:46.040 Matt this season in Tampa Bay with Alvarado and Castillo 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.960 and Jose Alvarado. UM, there's been very very little clarity here. 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.159 Why do you think cast you? I mean everyone wants closers, Well, 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:58.400 why cast you at eight? I get I think he's 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:00.440 very talented. I thought I'm a I don't had a 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.920 shot to be one of the best closures this year. 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:07.400 Given a full opportunity with the role. UH starting off 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:11.320 good the first week, it's quickly evaporated. UH. Pagan was 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.480 a guy I got for forty nine dollars the week prior, 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:20.800 and I had Diego as my top uh big for 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.679 that week, but then Bagan went out and saved three games, 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:28.520 so I flipped them, and I probably want casteod Agant. 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:30.440 I was not really a Progott believer, but I thought 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.760 you'd go from more than forty nine at eighty one 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:36.879 with CASTEO. I'm fine with. Yeah. And it's not just 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:38.560 what he does with the saves too, because he doesn't 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:40.200 get a ton of strikeouts. Greg he has a good 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:41.800 e r A, a good whip. He's got a two 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.200 two O e r A. He's got twenty strikeouts in 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:46.880 sixteen and a third endings pitch, so he's being used 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:49.720 a lot. He's got a one oh four whip. Um, 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:54.719 you know there there's been let's see here, there's between 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:59.560 those three there's been eleven saves and it's been flick 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:02.520 quite evenly. I mean, Jose Alvarado has four, geokst has 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.879 four and Emilio Pagan has three. So wouldn't surprise anyone 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:09.399 if if this continues to happen, you you get maybe 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.480 twelve to fifteen saves out of the guy, but really 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:15.040 good numbers outside of that too. It's frustrating for fantasy overall. 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:17.720 They're they're using three different closers here, but it's working 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:19.520 for them. It always works for the Rais. They know 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.480 what they're doing there. Um, they're kind of ahead of 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.280 their ahead of the pack when it comes to stuff 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:28.000 like this. So uh, it's again, it's just frustrating, But 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:30.119 I us understand why he went for that much. Everyone's 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.520 trying to get saved and it's not like saves the 0:20:32.560 --> 0:20:34.920 only thing he gives. It gives you good er a 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.760 whapons strikeout, no, no doubt about it. And our GST 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.280 league Shawn Kelly was out there. He went for three 0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:47.719 and fifty dollars. Wow, Wow, that's crazy. That's a lot 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.000 of money. That is a lot of money, much more 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.040 than you know, I think he should have been in 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:58.760 maybe eight nine range. Maybe Yeah, if you need a closer, 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:00.800 you go over a hundred for them. But it weson 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.800 go about this with Brad Ziegler last week. Greg, do 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:05.760
