0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I even said that to Judy, like I slept well.

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>It's good to hear anything eventful this weekend outside of

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>these trades. No, we were doing over doing a bunch

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>of Father's Day stuff um with Judy's family this week

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and went around to playing some miniature God went to

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the range yesterday shopping about that man, pretty pretty normal weekend.

0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I hear some scuffling in the background. That can only

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>mean one thing, Greg that Maddie mo how you doing, Maddie.

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing all right. It's still a little angry about

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>were transpirted to this night. I had no opportunity to

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>win your Don Alvarez came close in one of my

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>twelve team league's only will stout by twenty one dollars.

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 1>That was the only legitimate chance I had. But I

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 1>made some I made a boo boo. All right, perfect, Okay,

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>we didn't. We didn't hear anything you said we were

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>We're switching back. We're switching back. I'm sorry you missed

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that on your Don Alvarez, and I'm sorry some other

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>things all we all missed out on your Don Alvarez.

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any shares? I have zero shares. We

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>are the we are officially now the anti. You're Don Alvarez.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Show boo boo, You're not Alvarez. This kidding warning. The

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>only silver learning in it is you had what you know,

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>four homers this past week and bad at almost four hundred,

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>while nobody in the that's uh, that's absolutely true. That's

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that is that is a good point four home runs

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:11.600
<v Speaker 1>in his first six games. Crazy, Oh, so he wasn't.

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't available in NFBC. He was available other places.

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't available in NFBC until he plays his first game,

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>so he couldn't. You couldn't pick Hmo like Crisica. No,

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>you could unless he was drafted, right, so if he

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>was drafted and then dropped, then you could have added him.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>But an NFBC if a player has not played a

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>game yet, and I realized he played last Sunday, but

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>he would have to play before Sunday to be added

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>into the player pool to be added. So he wasn't

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>available last week in NFBC. So that's why everyone last

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>night was bidding on him. He went for uh, he

0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>went for over five dollars in both my Great Fantasy

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Baseball Invitational and in our main event league that Matt

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Modica and I played in together. But that was not

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the biggest name on the board last night, Greig, that

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>was being bit on. Who was the biggest name on

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the board that was being bit on? Frank. So there

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>was actually this this picture for the San Francisco Giants.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>His name is Andrew s Mares. Uh. He he was

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>he was the biggest name on Waivers last night. I

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>haven't been things about Young Andrew. Yeah, yeah, and Uh.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I think Matt Modiko was one of the first people

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>on Andrew Swarres. So let's go to Modecan now for

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>for his thoughts on Andrew. Yes, Young Andrew. Uh. I

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>pretty much put in for Jose Suarez of the Los

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Angeles Angels everywhere, you know anyway, from like seven to

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>seventeen dollars in that kind of arrange, and the other

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>picture that was available that I wanted was Sean Alexander. Uh.

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:37.280
<v Speaker 1>This team needed two pictures that those two fit perfectly.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Have kimbro on the bench, Paddock and Glass. Now hopefully

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>we do see Glass now at some point. And unfortunately,

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, the first bit I had was Jose Suarez,

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 1>then Sean H. Anderson. The conditional bid was I guess

0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I had or I guess I had Suarez, and on

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>top of some unknown reason, but it was Andrew Suarez

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>not Jose Suarez, and I would have gotten uh short Andrewson.

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 1>She went seven dollars and I had him in for sixteen.

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 1>So I wasted sixteen valuable dollars in a league where

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>me and Andy Saxton are very poor, and I am.

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I just started cushion, and you know, I

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>just went on a tirade last night. My mom, who's

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>who stayed over, was quite shocked and appolled, and I apologized.

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>That is hilarious. Andrew Suarez on the season two starts

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 1>nine point zero zero er a two point zero zero

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>with do not pick up Andrew Suarez. But I thought

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>that was hilarious. I saw the tweet from Matt Modica

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 1>went into a profanity lace tirade when I realized I

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>wasted sixteen precious dollars on Andrew Suarez. I apologized to

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>my mom last night and this morning for it. That

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.359
<v Speaker 1>was hilarious. I was cracking up when I read that,

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>so it was like cracking when he just told me,

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.479
<v Speaker 1>what do you got? Mat? I would would like to

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>apologize to uh Andy Saxton as well my seen well

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:07.039
<v Speaker 1>hopefully Jose Smarrez. You know, isn't all it's cracked up

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>to be. I guess Greg. We actually did have a

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>big trade code down for the weekend. We had to um,

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure we're gonna get into the Anthony Davis

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>trade all that much on this ship. I'd like to

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into it at some point this week, definitely

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>on the NBA twitch Sholad. We probably should you know what,

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 1>We probably should actually film something that we could play

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 1>as a commercial. Ideally, Yeah, maybe later on today, let's

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>do that. But ed Win Incarnacione caught us soft guard

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>randomly on Saturday evening randomly comes across and Karnacion trade

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>to the Yankee. I send it over to you and Sandra,

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and we're just like, huh, can you pitch? So it's

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>really interesting, so much like the Odell Beckham trade. I

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>was not like sitting in front of my TV, were

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 1>like on my phone. I was like, I was out

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:48.920
<v Speaker 1>to dinner on on Saturday with Judy's family where Anthony's

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 1>cole fired pizza and no clue. You know what Anthony's is? Now,

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.239
<v Speaker 1>you know what, Athons, Maybe you should take me there.

0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 1>You know what Anthony's is? Oh my god, that's so

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>crazy big. We don't all a rich establishments. Like she's

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:05.359
<v Speaker 1>not rich establishment dude, it's not just it's very clear

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>that Matt and myself have not been there. We're you know,

0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>pretty normal guys. Greg, high class dude. Of course you've

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>never been Anthonies. Well, what are you talking about? Told

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>me you know, fifty bucks of pizza downstairs, Brian, can

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>you help me out here, dude, please, that's a rich spot, Alex. Nothing,

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 1>all right, work for me. You're clearly not You're clearly

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>not paying attention. You're you're clearly not paying attention. Isabella.

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Have you been Anthony's and she's gone where there's Anthony.

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a chain. It's a chain restaurant. It's a chain restaurant.

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>All I mean in Jersey it's a Saturday. I was

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>at teaching, telling a story a normal, you know, middle

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 1>class restaurants. This could not be more middle class. And pizza,

0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>all right, it's just a coal of it. They've a

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>pat to okay, So aside from the pizza, what about anyway?

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>So my phone's buzzing while I'm sitting there eating my

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>meatballed pizza, and I'm like, what does it happen with?

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>What is going on? I saw it was you and Saunders.

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like what? And e what? And I saw winning

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a cornassion coming to the Ankes. I was trying to

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>figure out how he fits because now it means San

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Carlos stand is gonna play the outfield every day and

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>when a Carnassion who leaves American leagues in home runs

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the d H every day, I want to say, I

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>H is hysterical. Um, it's like d L because the

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I L. I want to say, it's like I H.

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I had to think about it. She's a d H

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 1>every day. And the long lasting effects and fantasy isn't

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 1>even so much. Winning Cornassion, who you were excited about

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 1>because he's a better ballparks to play every day, you're

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>pokes about the lineup. That's all great, but you have him,

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 1>you're starting him. Everything's gone well for Edwin and Carnassion,

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.319
<v Speaker 1>outside of the injury that he's suffering with his back

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>right now, so that doesn't really change all that much.

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>The one big thing that changes here is Matt your

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 1>boy Clint Fraser. You liked him last year, you love

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>him this year. The question you we had early was

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you want to spend all this money on him because

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't know when either to be sent down and

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>you are always aggressive when it comes to prospects. You

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 1>always say you'll figure it out later. Well later has arrived.

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>It's now June sixteenth, and we don't know when Clint

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Fraser was we'll be back if everybody comes back healthy

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>next weekend, Matt Aaron Judge being the last piece, he

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>could be back literally as soon as Friday. And if

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>that's the case and everybody says healthy, Fraser is not

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>coming back any time soon. So as somebody that has

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:41.080
<v Speaker 1>a ton of shares of Clint Frasier, what do you do? Uh?

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>What you do is you just hold him right now

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>as you have to assume he is going to be

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>put in a package and traded for that picture that

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>they did not get. Look the lineup looks, you know,

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>terrifying if everybody is healthy, But come playoff time, they're

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.839
<v Speaker 1>gonna need pitching. I don't know what to expect from Severno.

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.599
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you want to be the optimists and

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.200
<v Speaker 1>say he's gonna be fine and be the Savarino that

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.959
<v Speaker 1>was lights out, that's great, but I think that's getting

0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.199
<v Speaker 1>ahead of yourself here. You want to see him actually

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 1>pitching the game first. And you know, her mind was

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>really good early. So as far as Fraser goes, you know,

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 1>up until two days ago, the last twenty games, he

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>was betting three thirty five homers, eyes six three slug

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he's no longer on this team, so

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.199
<v Speaker 1>I get his frustration. I know the defense was suboptimal.

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.959
<v Speaker 1>Nothing you can do. I wouldn't drop him in a

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 1>twelve teams or above right now. Grosse Cashman made it

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.960
<v Speaker 1>known this team deserves more from from the way they played,

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>So in arms coming, I would think Trevor Bauers somebody

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 1>they're really gonna make a push at. I don't think

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:50.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a bump guard. I think they want like a

0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Bauer type guy, So I think that would be a

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.559
<v Speaker 1>package kind of deal. Yeah, God, Fraser, I saw this yesterday.

0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>He's batty, batting average with runners and scoring position three

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>D five on the year, he has eleven home runs.

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 1>He's he's been a major part of the Yankees success.

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>He's slumped, cut off the eye of everybody slumps at

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>some points during the year, and I think that's what

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 1>that was. It was a slump. Overall, he's been a major,

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:17.199
<v Speaker 1>major contributing factor to these Yankees team. And you can

0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.679
<v Speaker 1>tell Frank yesterday in the when he sat there at

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>his locker this time giving his thoughts. He's piste off

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and he's just like it's a tough fiddle swallow. He

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>he thought that he would go down probably when Judge

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 1>came back. I assumed he thought he would be the

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 1>last one standing. But having an option I heard him

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>this time, and yeah, and I said this to you yesterday.

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 1>The only reason they sent Frasier down yesterday round today

0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>is tonight they're gonna either start maybe or talking, and

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be hit. They didn't want Fraser for tonight

0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>because when Stanton came back, we all knew maybe it

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:48.839
<v Speaker 1>was gonna stay because they have the d f M

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and and ultimately Fraser was would go down and potentially

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>they didn't want to fly him back to New York,

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 1>just fly right back to the scran bro. Yeah. I

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.920
<v Speaker 1>understand his frustration because he for the most part, has

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 1>played well this year. And you know, Matt was talking

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>about what he's done recently. In the month of June.

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 1>He had turned it around three twenty batting average at

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>home run six ribbys this month, so he was playing well.

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.080
<v Speaker 1>But you you talked about it, Greg, he had an

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>option left and Cameron, maybe they're gonna keep him around

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 1>for a little while, uh defense, and he could be,

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, a pinch runner, but you know, one Stanton

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and Judge are back they're expecting standing to be back

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow and then judge hopefully over the weekend. Someone's gotta go,

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 1>and because he has the options, I think, I think

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>it makes sense that he got sent down. And it

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>seems like I don't know if he's the most likable guy.

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Like we've talked about that before he talks. He attributed

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 1>to it, and I don't. I don't think he has

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 1>many friends on the team. I don't think so either.

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.520
<v Speaker 1>But I do agree with Matt that I would try

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>to keep him around on my team, especially in deeper leagues,

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.720
<v Speaker 1>because if they make a trade. When they make a trade,

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a good chance he could be part

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>of that. Now, if he ends up in San Francisco,

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>obviously that's suboptimal. Toronto wouldn't be so bad if it's

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>for Stroman. Are the the Indians if they trade Bauer,

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>do they want Clint Fraser back? They created him for

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>a reason, so you want Andrew Miller. That's why they

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>traded him. Like like to me, I agree with Matt

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to Clint Frasier. I think he's proven

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that even hitting the major's correct, and I don't think

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>for a guy like Madison bum Garner, who's a rental

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 1>or even got like Marcus Stroman and in the division.

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they trade Frasier under those deals. I

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 1>think Matt's right where if you're going to go out

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and get a Trevor Bauer or you got a Corey Kluber, like,

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit different, and that's a trade you

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>move Fraser in. I don't think Fraser goes in a

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 1>deal for Stroman or bum Garner. Uh interesting enough. I

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:43.199
<v Speaker 1>tweeted out something yesterday just to show, uh how Clint

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Fraser has done this year. And it's not a mocker

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>on labor tours. I'm a big labor guy. He helped

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.719
<v Speaker 1>me win a lot of money last year. But outside

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>of the Orioles, we have both of those players excelled

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>in the games they played versus Baltimore. Clint Fraser has

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 1>been a better hitter than labor twitters versus teams not

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>named or reels. Yeah, it makes sense. So I would

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>try and hold on to my agree with Matt that

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna make a trade and he's probably gonna land

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>into some full time playing time if we get to

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the trade deadline and he's not moved, and I would

0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>say at that point you might be able to drop

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Clint Fraser unless another injury occurs. But I bring that

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>up because there are ripple effects with this Edwin and

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Karnacion trade. Now that Stanton is gonna be expected to

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 1>play the outfield every day, the fact that he's already

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>dealt with shoulder injuries and bits of injuries and and

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>a calf injury, I think he puts himself at a

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.760
<v Speaker 1>risk for a higher risk for re injury. The fact

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>that he's gonna have to play the outfield every day.

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 1>We've seen this with guys like Nelson Cruise in the past,

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Will Myers where you know, once Nelson Cruz became an

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:42.520
<v Speaker 1>every day d H, he wasn't as injury prone. All

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden, the year that Will Myers played first

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>base every day, he wasn't as injury prone. When those

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>guys were in the outfield, they were more prone to injury.

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think that might be the case for John

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Carlo Stanton. So I do have some more you there

0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>too as well. Greg, Yeah, I think it's reasonable. I

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 1>think the fact that we're gonna count on Stanton to

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.200
<v Speaker 1>play the outfield every day something he didn' not do

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 1>last year. It's a bit nerve wracking now, Frank, It's

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 1>not like this dude in his thirties right like he's

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>in the prime of his career. He came off playing

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>in the NL where he played the outfield every single day.

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I know last year he didn't necessarily do it, but

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>when Judge went down, he was in right field every day.

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>So I don't want to make a big thing out

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 1>of if you remember he was playing through Hampshire injury

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>too because he had to play the outfield. Yes he was,

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>but he said three months off. At this point it

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 1>feels like, you know, like get out there and play, dude.

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I hope, I hope you're right, But I mean the

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>defense is gonna stuffer as well, which could affect the

0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>starting that's correct. Let me get over to the Seattle

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.600
<v Speaker 1>side of things though, for a moment, with everyone a

0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Cornacion now out of town, it seems like anybody that

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 1>makes any money in Seattle, he's not gonna be there

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>soon enough, then Bogol Box gonna play every single day

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 1>like he has been the Bogo Box in there. But

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>it also called up Aaron Nolan's brother, Austin Nola who

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 1>has eligibility of a leave in Yahoo for instance, like

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 1>three different positions. I know, Um, was it in GDD

0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 1>where he had shortstop eligibility or something along those lines,

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>our Austin know. It seems like it's gonna get a

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 1>chance here Matt in fifteen team leagues? Is there any interest?

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 1>You know? I wasn't looking at him this week. I'm

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be honest with you. Um, I thought the most

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>interesting thing about that trade? What's that guy one? Then? Yes,

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees, Yes, the Prospect, Yes, yes he was. He

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>was acquired last year's nineteen nineteen years old and now

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 1>he's gone again. Yeah. So, I mean, I guess that

0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 1>was like Fomo on Jamy Depoto's park, that he had

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to have him back. And the Marine is just one

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>quick thing. The Mariners will have zero dollars on their

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 1>payroll right now, commitment wise, And I think, but that's

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>pretty crazy. And one last note of the clip praisers,

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I believe he unfollowed everybody on Instagram and social media

0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>except to DV and somebody else. I forget it with

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>that one's true unfollowed the Yankees at Yankees is out

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 1>on Instagram as well but Frazer mature, he bake. We'll

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Back with you on the BFS. Frankie Stample, Greg Sussman

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 1>here hanging out with you, Maddie mo on a Monday

0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.400
<v Speaker 1>as well, to take a look at the two Stark pitchers.

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I was tweeting at matt Um about it, so we'll

0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>get to that a little bit as well. But let's

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 1>go over some of the waiver wire players that were

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>picked up this week, not named Andrew Suarez. You mentioned

0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.119
<v Speaker 1>you're Don Alvarez. He was the highest price play here

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to go pretty much everywhere NFBC and your main event guys.

0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.000
<v Speaker 1>He went over five hundred dollars. It makes sense. If

0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.400
<v Speaker 1>you have the money, probably where you spend it. Yeah,

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>absolutely went for over five hundred dollars in the main

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.640
<v Speaker 1>event and in the Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational. Those are

0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>both fifteen team mixed roto leagues. I saw some results

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 1>from twelve team online championships in the NFBC, and he

0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 1>went for considerably lower, anywhere from like two hundreds and

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>three hundred dollars. And that makes sense because they're twelve

0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.600
<v Speaker 1>team leagues and there's there's obviously a higher demand in

0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 1>a fifteen team league, but small sample size so far,

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 1>fifty seven point one percent hard hit rate. The bat

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and Steamer projections on fan Graphs have him for between

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 1>a two sixty two and two seventy four batting average

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the way, and like fifteen sixteen home

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 1>runs over forty runs and RBI. So I would expect

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.800
<v Speaker 1>like a two seventy plus batting average, fifteen twenty home

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.119
<v Speaker 1>runs something like that out of your Don Alvarez the

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.679
<v Speaker 1>rest of the way, mad I saw you tweeting last night.

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 1>You just barely missed out on him in a few

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>twelve team leagues, right, Yeah, in the league, I had

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and dollars left. I did one eight nine

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and he went for so I was pretty pitched about that. Yeah,

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can't beat yourself up for it, because

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.040
<v Speaker 1>even if you maxed out with the rest of the

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.439
<v Speaker 1>money you had left, you still wouldn't have got him. So, um,

0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I guess just uh, you know, it depends who you

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.240
<v Speaker 1>picked up throughout the rest of the season. Hopefully you

0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.640
<v Speaker 1>picked up some guys that were worth it. But uh, yeah,

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm pretty much in the same boat in

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:27.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of leagues. I'm, you know, under two hundred

0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 1>dollars out of a thousand left and pretty much all

0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.359
<v Speaker 1>my fifteen team league shout out to car Key Boom,

0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:36.480
<v Speaker 1>never forget. But um yeah, I'm I'm I'm with you, Matt.

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't have a lot of I don't

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of money left, and that's why I

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>ended up with zero yr Don alvaage shares. I do

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.040
<v Speaker 1>have to home leagues. They are twelve team head to

0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:46.200
<v Speaker 1>head points leagues where we have minor league spots, and

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 1>I chose to roster Kyle Tucker over your Don Alvarez.

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>So kicking myself a little bit over that as well.

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.679
<v Speaker 1>But we'll be all right, great, we'll push through. No

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:57.199
<v Speaker 1>doubt about it. Now. The other high bid here in

0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.320
<v Speaker 1>your main event, and it makes sense people are talking

0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.400
<v Speaker 1>about it. Who's Colorado? No time is able to return

0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Rays, so there saves up for grabs when

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 1>it comes to Tampa Bay, whether it's Milio Pegan or

0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Diego Costillo. Castio was available in You Made a bet?

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:13.520
<v Speaker 1>He goes for fifty seven dollars to clerk another closer option.

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 1>We talked about him last week. He went for forty

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.119
<v Speaker 1>seven dollars. Um. I want to move on to Giorgi

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Allomoto though, because Amoto Yellomodo and made his debut his

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:26.320
<v Speaker 1>really well against the Cardinals and went for thirteen dollars.

0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I know he's on the Marlins, so winds are going

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to be tough to come by. But how interesting should

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>fantasy owners be in acquiring Yellow Moodo here? Matt For me,

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I recommended to to not start him this week. He

0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:43.159
<v Speaker 1>was very extremely impressive. He got the call he was

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.879
<v Speaker 1>lined up for that day. I'm not saying he doesn't

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 1>have a future in their rotation. I'm not biased against

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Marlon's pitchers. I have Caleb Smith that futis him as

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 1>well as Pablo Lopez. But I think Zach Gallon should

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 1>be coming very soon. Uh. If it's not this week,

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I gotta think maybe the following Hernandez is another option.

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather have her Nandez than Yamamoto, uh for fantasy

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 1>purposes here, and I had him as a conditional bid Hernandez,

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:27.520
<v Speaker 1>but that unfortunately went to UH. Andrew Suarez. Alright, Yellow

0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Motor was really impressive, and I get it. He was

0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:31.360
<v Speaker 1>lined up to start. That's why you got the call

0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Zach Gallant. Ultimately, he's coming, but I don't want to

0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.440
<v Speaker 1>ignore I don't want to ignore the facts. He just

0:21:37.680 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 1>really well, Frank, I know the matchup. It wasn't necessarily

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sox for the Cardinals. Despite struggling, there's no

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.520
<v Speaker 1>pushovers by any means. I don't think are you starting

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Yellomotor this week? Are you going out there picking him up?

0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I picked him up in one of my home leagues,

0:21:52.160 --> 0:21:54.919
<v Speaker 1>one of those twelve team points leagues, and it's because

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>in the head to head points league, you know, you

0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:58.880
<v Speaker 1>try and get as many starts as you possibly can.

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Now that can backfire because if he goes out there

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:02.879
<v Speaker 1>and has two starts where he gets blown up and

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I get negative points, then yeah, I'm gonna suffer and

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna be worth it. But I'm I'm a

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:10.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit closer to Matt here, Like I wasn't aggressive

0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:13.000
<v Speaker 1>in any of the any of my deeper leagues, because

0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I do worry about the two starts on the road.

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:17.480
<v Speaker 1>His first start was at home. Obviously, we like when

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the Marlins pitchers are pitching at home a little bit

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:22.639
<v Speaker 1>more because it's a big spaces park. And again I

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:24.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's a knock on Yamamoto. We talked about

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>him last week, Greg and we gave him high praise.

0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, seven shutout endings, three hits, two walks, five strikeouts.

0:22:30.040 --> 0:22:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to see more swinging strikes and more first

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:34.800
<v Speaker 1>pitch strikes from him. But he has an interesting mix

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of pitches. He has an interesting arsenal. But I do

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 1>worry a little bit about the spots here with the

0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>two starts on the road at St. Louis and at Philadelphia.

0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:45.080
<v Speaker 1>But if you do pick him up and he pitches

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:47.359
<v Speaker 1>well on your bench, I wouldn't be so mad because

0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:49.679
<v Speaker 1>then maybe you know that gives you confidence in him

0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.560
<v Speaker 1>moving forward, and you know you can potentially have like

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:55.359
<v Speaker 1>a back end of your you know, fantasy rotation starting

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 1>pitcher there. But this week I would I would probably

0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:01.200
<v Speaker 1>leave him on the bench. Greg Rodeo, according Matt and

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Frankie both leave him on the bench. For me personally,

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.240
<v Speaker 1>two starts, kind of want to take my chance. He's

0:23:06.280 --> 0:23:09.600
<v Speaker 1>like all the dice. I thought he was pretty good

0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 1>last week. I was impressed. Let's see, it's two starts.

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>You get an opportunity to see him here twice. The

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:17.520
<v Speaker 1>only other name I want to mention that was picked

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 1>up in your NFBC Gentleman was A J. Pollock. There's

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:24.360
<v Speaker 1>five bucks spent apollog. I saw Pollock go in another

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:28.040
<v Speaker 1>league um that I was in, and it didn't cost

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:31.439
<v Speaker 1>all that much there either. The Dodgers are rolling right now,

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:35.239
<v Speaker 1>Alex Verdugo playing center, Bellinger on one side of him,

0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Jock on another, and this outfield has been pretty good

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 1>for the Dodgers. Now, when Pollock was back, he's going

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to play then that's you know, if he comes back,

0:23:43.000 --> 0:23:45.479
<v Speaker 1>it's always like a chance that he re injures himself

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.919
<v Speaker 1>before he gets there. Would are you upset that you

0:23:48.960 --> 0:23:52.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't get a J. Pollock here, Matt. Yeah, actually I am.

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Last week in a couple of leagues, I acquired him

0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 1>for probably the same five dollars or less. Ah, he

0:23:58.720 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 1>was on the bottom of Mike shittle Bidge. The only

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.959
<v Speaker 1>reason I did not get him in this league is

0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I needed to get I needed to have pictures this week,

0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 1>and you know, you got to feel that you have

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to feel the full roster each week. So I couldn't

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 1>really afford to uh put him on this team. But

0:24:17.280 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I did get some shares last week. I think now

0:24:19.920 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 1>is about the time to get him, and I think

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:26.160
<v Speaker 1>that second half he could be a guy where if

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 1>he steps into that lineup, you know he can really

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 1>help you in those final two plus months. Yeah, especially

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 1>in deeper leagues. Two we saw last year, we were

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:37.959
<v Speaker 1>reminded of the power speed combination at a J. Pollock possesses,

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and according to the r to the World, he was

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.480
<v Speaker 1>able to play catch in the field and take part

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:44.399
<v Speaker 1>in light agility drills on Friday. And it's still a

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 1>few weeks away. So me personally, and it's just me speculating,

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine second half of the season, post All

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Star break, we see a J. Pollock and Alex Verdugo.

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 1>In the month of June he is hitting two fifty

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 1>but a six o ps. He slowed down a little bit.

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>In the month of May, he zero home runs. He

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 1>only has one home run since the beginning of May.

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:05.800
<v Speaker 1>He hit nine doubles in the month of May. And

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.280
<v Speaker 1>if you look at Alex Verdugo's numbers in the minors,

0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that's that's more of the hitter that he was. He

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>was more of a gap to gap doubles hitter. And

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 1>we're hoping that the older that he gets, he that

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:16.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of grows into home run power. And there's still

0:25:16.320 --> 0:25:18.600
<v Speaker 1>definitely a chance that it can happen when it comes

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>to Alex Verdugo, but this is closer to the player

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that he's been gap to gap doubles hitter. So the

0:25:23.880 --> 0:25:26.000
<v Speaker 1>power has slowed down for Alex Verdugo. And I think

0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, once Pollock is ready to return second half

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 1>of the season, that could be the end of everyday

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 1>playing time for Alex Verdugo. Yeah, it could be despite

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>um him being a young player himself, growing in, going

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 1>into himself and ultimately need a playing time to get better.

0:25:40.880 --> 0:25:43.360
<v Speaker 1>When Polic comes back, that couldn't spell the end. Indeed

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 1>for Alex Verdugo, speaking all of players coming back, Hayes's

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:50.919
<v Speaker 1>Lozardo is amping up the rehab. He's at four innings

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:55.639
<v Speaker 1>yesterday in single A ball that was Class A High A,

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and his next start, it's gonna come in Triple A

0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 1>as Lazaro continues to build up that arm strainth in

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>single A ball yesterday, pitch well, nine strikeouts over four innings,

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of four hits and just a single run.

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Now the next star, as we said, it's gonna be

0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:11.840
<v Speaker 1>in Triple A, and okay, you've got a couple of

0:26:11.880 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>starts there. You're looking at run around the All Star break.

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I would think for Hazer's lazarder to be up for

0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Oakland and try to make that push for an Oakland

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:22.880
<v Speaker 1>E's team. They have to figure out, gentlemen, if they

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:25.880
<v Speaker 1>are a buyer or a seller and they don't want

0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:28.640
<v Speaker 1>to certainly be in the middle. They need to figure out,

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and I think they're gonna use that time after the

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:32.760
<v Speaker 1>All Star break to determine this. With a guy like

0:26:32.840 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Hazer's Lazardo, it's almost a blessing in disguise, and he

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:36.439
<v Speaker 1>was out for the first half because you don't have

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to worry about an innings limit now in the second half,

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:41.520
<v Speaker 1>this guy can be four bore right now. Oakland sits

0:26:41.560 --> 0:26:45.200
<v Speaker 1>twirled back in the Al West against behind the Houston

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Astros and the Texas Rangers in the wild card chase.

0:26:48.800 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 1>They're just two and a half games back over the

0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Rangers for the second wild Card. The Rangers in the

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox, I should say for the second wild Card,

0:26:57.080 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 1>they sit a uh two games back the Indians. All

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:02.919
<v Speaker 1>those teams are ahead of them. They are in the

0:27:02.960 --> 0:27:05.240
<v Speaker 1>thick of things here. They need to figure out what

0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:07.480
<v Speaker 1>they are going to be as they sit at exactly

0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:12.160
<v Speaker 1>five hundred. If until Lazardo gets back, well they're gonna

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>determine that, they determine the thing you gonna push or

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 1>not and then sell off, and that could change things

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:20.120
<v Speaker 1>for Lazardo going forward if they rush them, if they don't,

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:21.680
<v Speaker 1>so on and so forth. That they need to try

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to win, if they try to just you know, develop players.

0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Lazardo's coming back, He's out there in leagues, Frank picking

0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 1>them up. Yeah, absolutely, And we spoke about this last

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>week as well. There's a lot of starting pictures to

0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:35.399
<v Speaker 1>stash right now. Obviously, Chris Paddock was sent down. We

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 1>spoke about that. You're holding onto Chris Paddock, but I

0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>would say right next to him Hayes' Luzardo and Zack Gallant,

0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Matt's book about Zach Gallen a little bit. I think

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:46.120
<v Speaker 1>those are the top stash pictures right now. I mean

0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I would move them ahead of Alex Reyus mad I

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:50.560
<v Speaker 1>star you're tweeting about Alex Rays over the weekend as well.

0:27:50.600 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 1>He's struggled mightily in his rehab, struggling a lot with walks,

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:56.199
<v Speaker 1>giving up a ton of runs. So I personally have

0:27:56.280 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 1>moved Lazardo and Zack Gallan ahead of Alex Rays and

0:28:00.200 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of starting pitchers that they want to stash, and I

0:28:02.040 --> 0:28:04.639
<v Speaker 1>think Brendan McKay is getting pretty close to that level

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:07.879
<v Speaker 1>as well. So Lozardo someone that was regarded as highly

0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:10.479
<v Speaker 1>as Paddock coming into draft season and then he suffered

0:28:10.520 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the injury. But I mean rightfully, so the hype is

0:28:13.000 --> 0:28:14.760
<v Speaker 1>real when it comes to Lozardo. He's got a hundred

0:28:14.760 --> 0:28:16.679
<v Speaker 1>and eighty eight strikeouts in a hundred and fifty nine

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and two thirds and he's pitched in the minors. He

0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:21.920
<v Speaker 1>got a two point four eight e r a over

0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:24.439
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven appearances. That's thirty four starts in the minors.

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:28.280
<v Speaker 1>This kid is absolutely legit, Matt out of everything. I

0:28:28.359 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 1>just said, what do you agree with? What do you

0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 1>not agree with? Are you stashing these pictures? Would you

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:33.720
<v Speaker 1>move them ahead of Alex Rays? How do you feel

0:28:33.720 --> 0:28:36.879
<v Speaker 1>about these guys? I would move them ahead of Alex Rays.

0:28:37.040 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 1>You know. Unfortunately I dropped Alex Rays now for Andrew

0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Suarez just to get back on that. But I'll i'll

0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>love i'll uh. The thing here is Brandon McKay looks

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 1>lights out. He looks like he can be a different

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to maker in this a least, you know, coming down

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the stretch or in the wild card race. So I

0:28:56.040 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 1>think you're definitely gonna see him at some point in

0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 1>the second half. Alan's been tremendous Lizardo. Here's the one thing.

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I have him on a lot of drafting whole teams.

0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>He's never really gone beyond that like five inning mark.

0:29:10.640 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 1>So for baseball they have to use him as a

0:29:14.080 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>traditional starter for his growth. For fantasy, you kind of

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.880
<v Speaker 1>want him to be the follower that would really boost

0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:24.800
<v Speaker 1>his stock. But regardless, you know, even if he gives

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you that just a five innings. The talents there. Pitching

0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:32.800
<v Speaker 1>is so thin, so beat up. But his teammate is also,

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe, one step away from going on a rehab assignment,

0:29:36.240 --> 0:29:39.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's showing Mania. Who can you know, also help

0:29:39.760 --> 0:29:43.560
<v Speaker 1>fantasy owners in that second half, So you know, Lizardo

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:46.720
<v Speaker 1>and Mania, I'd be keeping an eye on. You know,

0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:49.600
<v Speaker 1>if if you have that, it depends on you know,

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:51.600
<v Speaker 1>it depends on your bench right now and where you

0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:54.520
<v Speaker 1>stand and what you can afford to do. Yeah, I

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 1>wanted to mention Mania as well, so I'm happy you

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:58.320
<v Speaker 1>brought him up. Yeah, he's getting close to rehab and

0:29:58.360 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>we saw last year trail off in the second half

0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:02.880
<v Speaker 1>of the season, but his first half was phenomenal. Remember

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:04.920
<v Speaker 1>he threw a no hitter against the Boston Red Sox

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:07.160
<v Speaker 1>sum and I had a phenomenal first half of the

0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:09.600
<v Speaker 1>season last year. So the attention to him, you know,

0:30:09.720 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the the the reinforcements are coming for the Oakland Age

0:30:13.520 --> 0:30:15.280
<v Speaker 1>because you know, they've been throwing a bunch of names

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>out there. Chris Bassett was all right for a while.

0:30:17.080 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>He's certainly slowed down. They have Mike Fires there, but

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>they really really need as much help as they could

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 1>get on the pitching side, Chris Davis getting healthy, hopefully

0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:26.360
<v Speaker 1>they get Piscotti back. So these next couple of months

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>are gonna be interesting for the Oakland A's as they

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:30.160
<v Speaker 1>figure out whether or not they're gonna go for that

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:32.239
<v Speaker 1>wild card push. I would expect them to do so

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 1>since they were there last year. I would expect them

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to to be around around that race once again. But yeah,

0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the reinforcements are coming in the form of Shalmaniah and

0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Hazel Czardo, so pay attention to both of those guys,

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 1>especially Mania in deeper leagues as well. Speaking of reinforcements,

0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:50.520
<v Speaker 1>last night, the White Sox called up prospect Zach Collins.

0:30:50.600 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a catcher, which is interesting for James McCann and

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 1>for beef cast steal. What should we know, Matt when

0:30:57.320 --> 0:31:00.640
<v Speaker 1>it comes to Zach Collins. I think thing here is

0:31:00.680 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 1>a nick catch. Steel is injured again and I think

0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the ascension of Collins UH is signaling a guy we

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:10.280
<v Speaker 1>should have mentioned in this last uh little segment. We

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 1>were talking about Dylan Cease, who is a tremendous um.

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:17.239
<v Speaker 1>The White Sox have always kind of been aggressive with

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:20.360
<v Speaker 1>their young talent, so he's another guy. You're gonna see

0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:23.600
<v Speaker 1>another name to write down, you know too, maybe Stash

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:27.760
<v Speaker 1>just Uh. I really like this kid for the long term.

0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:30.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, it might be a bumpy road, uh in

0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen. But right now I'm throwing a net at

0:31:33.360 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty much anybody and giving people opportunities. We know about Collins,

0:31:38.520 --> 0:31:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Zach Collins. If there was ever a free, true outcome prospect,

0:31:41.600 --> 0:31:44.760
<v Speaker 1>it is Zach Collins. You look at his his walk

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 1>rate this year seventeen and a half percent, strikeout rate

0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty two percent. He has nine home runs in fifty games.

0:31:51.160 --> 0:31:54.200
<v Speaker 1>He also does have a season of nineteen home runs

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 1>as well as a catcher, so he does have big power.

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:58.400
<v Speaker 1>But he's gonna strike out a lot, He's gonna walk

0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot. This is really just someone to attendant to

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:02.760
<v Speaker 1>a a O only for sure if you start, you know,

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 1>two catchers there or uh you know in deeper leagues

0:32:05.840 --> 0:32:08.800
<v Speaker 1>fifteen team mixed leagues as well, you know, if your

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:12.080
<v Speaker 1>second catcher is struggling and you need some help. I

0:32:12.120 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 1>think that we're gonna see a lot of either Zach

0:32:14.000 --> 0:32:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Collins at catcher and James McCann a d H or

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:19.360
<v Speaker 1>vice versa. James McCann has actually been d h and

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>quite frequently recently. I think Yonder Alonso is pretty much

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:24.000
<v Speaker 1>on the way out here for the White Sox. So

0:32:24.360 --> 0:32:28.120
<v Speaker 1>uh to catcher leagues, deeper leagues specifically, pay attention to

0:32:28.440 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Zach Collins if you need some pop as well, all right,

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Zach Collins to catcher league specifically, you look at the

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:36.920
<v Speaker 1>pot which we kind of all are your second catcher struggling,

0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 1>which they always are. Zach Collins, if he gets playing time,

0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>could wind up being an option. Matt. We obviously need

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to get to start pitchers. So let me get to

0:32:46.360 --> 0:32:48.520
<v Speaker 1>my personal question before the break, and then let the

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:51.440
<v Speaker 1>break and we'll hit on all of these guys. But

0:32:51.720 --> 0:32:54.680
<v Speaker 1>when we did this on Friday with Floria Frankie, there's

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:55.959
<v Speaker 1>a name that kind of stood out to me if

0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:58.760
<v Speaker 1>somebody was interested in, and that was Brent Anderson. To

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 1>home games four, the a's first ones against Baltimore, second

0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>one home against Tampa Bay. We've spoken a lot now

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 1>about the Oakland Athletics thus far on this program, Matt.

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:11.960
<v Speaker 1>You sent to me on Twitter you never want to

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:15.719
<v Speaker 1>be the Bred Anderson guy. What about this week? I

0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:19.800
<v Speaker 1>think there's maybe the exception to the rule. Uh. As

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned before, the just the landscape of pitching has

0:33:22.920 --> 0:33:27.080
<v Speaker 1>been so miserable. You know, you're getting burned by everyone pitched. Well,

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:30.479
<v Speaker 1>you were looking at matchups here, it's a two start,

0:33:31.320 --> 0:33:33.959
<v Speaker 1>so I'm kind of with you. He's a guy that

0:33:34.760 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I would never really in certain to my lineups, but

0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:40.520
<v Speaker 1>he would be UH an option this week. Yeah, I think,

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:43.240
<v Speaker 1>especially in deeper leagues, twelve teamers probably not gonna be

0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 1>able to do with there, but fifteen teamers anything deeper

0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:48.840
<v Speaker 1>than that, AO only as well. I could get behind it.

0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 1>You look at the matchups to Raise in terms of

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Whoba waited on base average against left handed pitching this year,

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:56.960
<v Speaker 1>they are fifteen in baseball, while the Baltimore Orioles are

0:33:57.000 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty second. So not really terribly tough matchups here for

0:34:00.800 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore Orioles in terms of how teams have fared against

0:34:03.840 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 1>left handed pitching. I could see it in deeper leagues great,

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 1>but in twelve teamers, I can't get behind it. Damn. Sorry, buddy.

0:34:14.239 --> 0:34:15.680
<v Speaker 1>You know I have a personal question I want to

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:18.600
<v Speaker 1>ask Matt. It actually affects both of us. Before the break,

0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:21.520
<v Speaker 1>we got about a minute left here Maddie. But Zach Wheeler, Man,

0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Zach Wheeler at the Braves at the Cubs. I mean

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.480
<v Speaker 1>these are tough matchups. The Braves are the hottest team

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:30.719
<v Speaker 1>in baseball. You starting Zack Wheeler. I I have to

0:34:30.760 --> 0:34:32.719
<v Speaker 1>start him. I'm I'm a guy that's gonna stood with

0:34:32.719 --> 0:34:37.400
<v Speaker 1>the Studs. He's from uh, Georgia, so I'm gonna go

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 1>with that. Look the match having Mets did not help

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:42.320
<v Speaker 1>him out in that game verse the Yankees. That defense

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:44.640
<v Speaker 1>was terrible, probably shouldn't have been too earned runs. You

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:48.240
<v Speaker 1>gotta go eat Studs. I do worry though, you know, Greg,

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I worry man. I have him in a few twelve

0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:53.840
<v Speaker 1>team leagues and Braves hottest team in baseball. Both starts

0:34:53.840 --> 0:34:55.600
<v Speaker 1>are on the road. You know, if the wind is

0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 1>blowing out and Wrigley, I mean that could turn into

0:34:57.520 --> 0:35:00.600
<v Speaker 1>it his actress start. He struggled with home runs too, teams.

0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:04.040
<v Speaker 1>This is one of those two starts where you just

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:07.480
<v Speaker 1>need everything to define logic. You need the baseball gods

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to support Zach Wheeler. We're crossing our fingers, We're throwing

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 1>in there. He's a Met. They don't support. We'll come back.

0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:17.800
<v Speaker 1>We'll go over some more to start pitches Mattie mo

0:36:47.080 --> 0:36:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the way you were twitting about. And I actually got

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 1>text from my friends that now follow you saying they

0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:55.560
<v Speaker 1>love when you're tweeting about Meryl Kelly, who's got a

0:36:55.560 --> 0:36:59.000
<v Speaker 1>two start week at home for both against the Rockies

0:36:59.520 --> 0:37:03.399
<v Speaker 1>and the Lands. Yeah, I mean Merrill Kelly at home

0:37:03.560 --> 0:37:06.600
<v Speaker 1>especially his pitch is really well even again some really

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:10.320
<v Speaker 1>good competition. The thing is, if you split his season

0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:13.160
<v Speaker 1>in half, these last seven starts, he made a dramatic

0:37:13.239 --> 0:37:15.800
<v Speaker 1>change with his He altered the pitch mix. Here he

0:37:15.880 --> 0:37:18.560
<v Speaker 1>cut the sinker in half. The cutter has become a

0:37:18.600 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 1>prominent pitch that has paid dividends for him. So those

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.040
<v Speaker 1>are the two main things. I kind of highlight that

0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:25.880
<v Speaker 1>in my article. Him and a couple other guys like

0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a Lance Lynn with the pitch mix and how it's

0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:32.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of changed their game and really affected him. But

0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:36.120
<v Speaker 1>at home especially, you get the road Rockies here, Rockies

0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:40.359
<v Speaker 1>are a totally different team, and he's he's a guy

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.520
<v Speaker 1>that I am targeting San Francisco at home as well,

0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:47.359
<v Speaker 1>so he's a must for me. Yeah, Meryl Kelly. At home,

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:49.440
<v Speaker 1>it's here two point three five e r A. While

0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:51.719
<v Speaker 1>on the road four point nine five. You gotta love

0:37:51.760 --> 0:37:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that start against the San Francisco Giants as well, and

0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:56.840
<v Speaker 1>you get the Rockies outside of course field, so I

0:37:56.880 --> 0:37:59.240
<v Speaker 1>can get behind that as well. And Matt, I've noticed

0:37:59.280 --> 0:38:02.239
<v Speaker 1>a trend, you know, whenever guys are struggling, he starts

0:38:02.280 --> 0:38:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to use this cutter more. And I've really noticed this

0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:06.719
<v Speaker 1>with you Darvish as well. It's look, you start to

0:38:06.760 --> 0:38:09.160
<v Speaker 1>use the cutter more. If your fastball is ineffective, if

0:38:09.160 --> 0:38:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you're sinker, if you're fourth seamer is an effective, you

0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:13.000
<v Speaker 1>start to use the cutter more. And it's working well

0:38:13.000 --> 0:38:16.080
<v Speaker 1>for Merrow Kelly. It's also working well for you, Darvish,

0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:18.680
<v Speaker 1>So I can get behind you because of that, that

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:23.239
<v Speaker 1>that pitch mix change when it comes to Kelly. Yeah,

0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's not the only one. Looked what Lance

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Lynn is doing in Texas. I've never been a lance

0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Ling guy. I even stated that my article. You know,

0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:34.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's been it probably maybe a personal bias. I

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.319
<v Speaker 1>call him fantasy blind spots. We all have them. I

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:40.080
<v Speaker 1>don't care. We can say. I try not to, but uh,

0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:44.600
<v Speaker 1>lance Lynn has been terrific of late his last seven

0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:47.400
<v Speaker 1>starts as well. Has it been a different picture? And

0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I never like recommending Texas pictures, but he's one along

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:54.680
<v Speaker 1>with teammate, Uh, Adrian Sampson. Look what Mike Miners done

0:38:54.719 --> 0:38:57.839
<v Speaker 1>this season, So you know, as crazy as you did

0:38:57.840 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 1>to say that there's some good pitching going on in

0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Texas as far as starters. Yeah, I'm happy you brought

0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:05.160
<v Speaker 1>up Adrian Sampson too, because we put out a poll

0:39:05.239 --> 0:39:07.480
<v Speaker 1>before the show asking which to star pitcher do you

0:39:07.520 --> 0:39:11.480
<v Speaker 1>like most? Adrian Sampson, Mary Kelly, Tyler Skaggs, and Michael Panetta.

0:39:11.719 --> 0:39:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Mary Kelly, with the help of you, of course, Mattie

0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Modica at CTM Baseball is winning the vote. Adrian Samson

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:22.719
<v Speaker 1>number two percent of the vote. Here he gets the

0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Indians and the White Sox. The matchups are pretty good,

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 1>matt and he liked Mery Kelly has pitched much better

0:39:28.800 --> 0:39:31.279
<v Speaker 1>at home. A little surprising because Global Life Park in

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Arlington more so regarded as a hitters park. But he

0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:36.319
<v Speaker 1>got a two point seven o e r A at

0:39:36.320 --> 0:39:38.200
<v Speaker 1>home compared to a six point nine to E r

0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:40.120
<v Speaker 1>A on the road. So I'm seeing a little bit

0:39:40.120 --> 0:39:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Merrill Kelly here as well when it comes to Adrian Sampson.

0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Two pretty good matchups at home. Do you like Sampson

0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:48.880
<v Speaker 1>this week? Oh? Yeah, I do. Unfortunately I don't own him.

0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't win him anywhere. I did put in for

0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:54.239
<v Speaker 1>him over the last two weeks, but I would be

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 1>starting man. Look at the matchups, even with that blow

0:39:57.120 --> 0:40:00.840
<v Speaker 1>up against the Red Sox last week. Uh, Merrill Kelly.

0:40:01.360 --> 0:40:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean in America Adrian Sampson, where he still had

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the six best ear A among pictures with the thirty

0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:10.799
<v Speaker 1>innings pitched over the list thirty days. So that's telling

0:40:10.840 --> 0:40:13.279
<v Speaker 1>you how he's been successful. I can't explain it. I

0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:15.279
<v Speaker 1>would at the pitch mitch and everything else like that,

0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:18.879
<v Speaker 1>pretty much throwing the slighter, same rate and all that,

0:40:19.360 --> 0:40:21.759
<v Speaker 1>but maybe it's a different grip or something. I'm not

0:40:21.800 --> 0:40:24.840
<v Speaker 1>really sure, but at this point I'm not gonna argue

0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:27.360
<v Speaker 1>with it. I'm gonna roll them out and you know,

0:40:27.440 --> 0:40:29.759
<v Speaker 1>if if he gets blown up twice this week, then

0:40:29.800 --> 0:40:31.600
<v Speaker 1>it's time to move off. Yeah, I could get I

0:40:31.640 --> 0:40:33.279
<v Speaker 1>could agree with that. And I was looking at some

0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 1>June splits yesterday. The leaderboard so far for the month

0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:38.719
<v Speaker 1>of June starting pitchers and Adrian Sampson ranks in the

0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:42.120
<v Speaker 1>top fifteen and K percentage minus walk percentage, So uh,

0:40:42.160 --> 0:40:44.200
<v Speaker 1>he's limiting the walks. He's getting some strikeouts as well,

0:40:44.239 --> 0:40:46.239
<v Speaker 1>pitching well at home. I can get behind it. I

0:40:46.280 --> 0:40:48.400
<v Speaker 1>like it um when it comes to Adrian Sampson. This

0:40:48.400 --> 0:40:50.319
<v Speaker 1>week the Indians and White Sox. Not really scared off

0:40:50.600 --> 0:40:53.840
<v Speaker 1>by those matchups, Matt someone else in that pole. Tyler's

0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Skaggs going up against the Toronto Blue Jays and the St.

0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:00.640
<v Speaker 1>Louis Cardinals, two teams that you have been able stream against.

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I know that you like streaming against the Blue Jays

0:41:02.719 --> 0:41:04.759
<v Speaker 1>all season long. The St. Louis Cardinals have been a

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:07.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit cold here in the month of June, but

0:41:07.120 --> 0:41:09.279
<v Speaker 1>both starts are on the road. Tyler Scaggs has a

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 1>six point one one e r A on the road

0:41:12.160 --> 0:41:14.000
<v Speaker 1>this season. A lot of people like Scags coming into

0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the year, but hasn't really been able to figure it

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:17.879
<v Speaker 1>out this year. Matt, do you like him this week

0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:20.920
<v Speaker 1>with the two starts? You know what, as much as

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I love talking to Toronto, and that lineup is actually

0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:26.520
<v Speaker 1>getting much better with these kids, Uh, you know, everybody

0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:30.160
<v Speaker 1>getting called up lords Gouriel on his return is played

0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:32.640
<v Speaker 1>really well. You've got Bigio, you know, the top the

0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:35.960
<v Speaker 1>line up now too. So I don't know if I

0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:38.799
<v Speaker 1>can justify going with Scatch this week. And I've been

0:41:38.800 --> 0:41:41.839
<v Speaker 1>a Scatching supporter, but on the road he just has

0:41:41.920 --> 0:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>been atrocious, and I'm probably gonna pass on Sat for

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>this two steps. I think in deeper leagues I might

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:53.480
<v Speaker 1>be able to do fifteen teamers. The Cardinals and the

0:41:53.520 --> 0:41:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Blue Jays are seventeen and twenty six respectively against left

0:41:57.280 --> 0:41:59.719
<v Speaker 1>handed pitching in terms of BOBA this year, so they

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.479
<v Speaker 1>all are good matchups on paper. But Skaggs has hasn't

0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:04.400
<v Speaker 1>pitched wall on the road, so you gotta break out

0:42:04.440 --> 0:42:06.200
<v Speaker 1>your triple being balance here and kind of way the

0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:08.360
<v Speaker 1>pros and cons when it comes to Skags. But I

0:42:08.600 --> 0:42:10.560
<v Speaker 1>think in a fifteen team I can get behind the Greig.

0:42:10.600 --> 0:42:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Anything shallower than that, I can't do it with Skags.

0:42:12.760 --> 0:42:17.120
<v Speaker 1>You know I'm doing it. I'm doing two star a week.

0:42:17.200 --> 0:42:18.920
<v Speaker 1>May wait until you come in on Wednesday and you're

0:42:18.920 --> 0:42:21.360
<v Speaker 1>just like, why did I do Tyler Skags? It feels

0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Wednesdays to me brutal with Tyler Skags and Brett Anderson.

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Co oh Man, you are living life dangerously here, Greg,

0:42:27.880 --> 0:42:30.239
<v Speaker 1>you got a man in June. It's fantasy baseball. What

0:42:30.239 --> 0:42:33.680
<v Speaker 1>am I gonna do? Not start Brett Anderson and Tyler Skags?

0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:37.839
<v Speaker 1>Good answer. This is gonna be one of those at

0:42:37.840 --> 0:42:39.319
<v Speaker 1>the end of the week where you can't blame me

0:42:39.360 --> 0:42:41.719
<v Speaker 1>because I told you not to do it, just like

0:42:41.760 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 1>some other things that you've done in leagues, and you're like, well,

0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you told me I could do it, so I do it.

0:42:45.800 --> 0:42:48.319
<v Speaker 1>This is what he said don't do Admittedly, all right,

0:42:48.840 --> 0:42:52.719
<v Speaker 1>but I want to do it. Hopefully we get we

0:42:52.800 --> 0:42:54.400
<v Speaker 1>gets our best bets. Hopefully they go better for you

0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:57.160
<v Speaker 1>this week they did last year, last week. Frank, Yeah,

0:42:57.200 --> 0:42:59.719
<v Speaker 1>hopefully hopefully you're right. Matter there any other to star

0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:02.920
<v Speaker 1>pitch trus that we haven't mentioned that you can get behind,

0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Michael Pinata, Danny Duffy, uh Freddy for all, I don't

0:43:06.640 --> 0:43:08.600
<v Speaker 1>know why anyone would do that. But is there anyone

0:43:08.600 --> 0:43:12.160
<v Speaker 1>else you know why? As far as Freddy Parole, he goes. Look,

0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I get it. You don't know what's gonna happen with

0:43:14.560 --> 0:43:18.040
<v Speaker 1>you the You know the possibilities are in favor of

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:22.319
<v Speaker 1>a blow up. But you know Cincinnati strikes out a ton. Uh,

0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:26.440
<v Speaker 1>San Diego strikes out a ton. So in a deeper league,

0:43:26.480 --> 0:43:28.080
<v Speaker 1>if you, if you would desperate and you had to

0:43:28.120 --> 0:43:30.960
<v Speaker 1>do it, I could see an argument for it. I'll

0:43:30.960 --> 0:43:34.439
<v Speaker 1>put it that way. A Field expain. Here is uh

0:43:34.480 --> 0:43:37.759
<v Speaker 1>somebody on this list that I do like? Uh, he's

0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that he plays that follower role, which is perfect for him.

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:42.799
<v Speaker 1>I know he got blown up like a week or

0:43:42.800 --> 0:43:46.440
<v Speaker 1>so ago, really bad. I mean, it was an atrocious performance,

0:43:46.440 --> 0:43:49.480
<v Speaker 1>but he's he's a good picture. I get behind him. Pinata,

0:43:51.160 --> 0:43:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm really gonna try to avoid him. I'm I'm not

0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:55.960
<v Speaker 1>a Pinata guy. I know he can strike people out,

0:43:56.280 --> 0:43:58.600
<v Speaker 1>but he gives up the home runs. You know, the

0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox are playing better, and you know Kansas City

0:44:02.360 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 1>has got some power on that team too. So is

0:44:05.040 --> 0:44:08.359
<v Speaker 1>not a guy for me. Danny Duffy is an absolute

0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:12.799
<v Speaker 1>uh no bueno for me. No Bueno. When it comes

0:44:12.840 --> 0:44:15.680
<v Speaker 1>to Danny Duffy, I do like the like if you're

0:44:15.680 --> 0:44:19.120
<v Speaker 1>playing a daily league where you could set you could,

0:44:19.200 --> 0:44:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, pick players up and and and start them there.

0:44:21.760 --> 0:44:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I actually have Danny Duffy, I could get behind the

0:44:23.719 --> 0:44:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Mariners start, but uh, the other start is against the

0:44:27.719 --> 0:44:30.000
<v Speaker 1>what we got here, the Minnesota Twins. I can't do that.

0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:32.160
<v Speaker 1>So that's why you know the two start, it's you know,

0:44:32.200 --> 0:44:35.360
<v Speaker 1>it's one okay matchup the Mariners trading away in Karnacion.

0:44:35.440 --> 0:44:37.839
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna start and trade away, starting to trade away

0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:40.040
<v Speaker 1>more of their other pieces. You can start to stream

0:44:40.080 --> 0:44:42.719
<v Speaker 1>pitchers against the Mariners, but against the Twins, that's why

0:44:42.719 --> 0:44:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't really like it. So in a daily transaction league,

0:44:45.239 --> 0:44:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I like Dan Duffy for that first start at Seattle,

0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:50.759
<v Speaker 1>but against the Minnesota Twins, I don't really like that

0:44:50.840 --> 0:44:52.920
<v Speaker 1>same thing. When it goes to Pineta, It's like I

0:44:52.960 --> 0:44:56.080
<v Speaker 1>can't really trust him against Boston at Casey. Maybe he

0:44:56.120 --> 0:44:59.480
<v Speaker 1>could perform all right there, Remember it was it was

0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:02.040
<v Speaker 1>against the City like a couple of years ago when

0:45:02.040 --> 0:45:03.880
<v Speaker 1>he was in the Yankees, had like some crazy fifteen

0:45:03.880 --> 0:45:06.839
<v Speaker 1>strikeout performance against the Royals. Obviously a different team then,

0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:09.880
<v Speaker 1>but it's randomly popped into my mind, Greg speaking of

0:45:10.000 --> 0:45:12.480
<v Speaker 1>things randomly popping into our minds. And I just saw

0:45:12.520 --> 0:45:15.240
<v Speaker 1>this actually this morning. I did not see it on Friday,

0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and Matt I wanted to throw it to you here.

0:45:17.560 --> 0:45:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Did you see the intentional bok on Friday night? I

0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:24.560
<v Speaker 1>did not see it, but I was all over Twitter

0:45:24.600 --> 0:45:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know. He said he walked in the

0:45:26.640 --> 0:45:28.799
<v Speaker 1>island third base. Yeah it was. Did you see his

0:45:29.239 --> 0:45:33.640
<v Speaker 1>intentional box? Yeah? So, so what happened is is the

0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:35.480
<v Speaker 1>it's the bottom of the ninth inning or top of

0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:37.879
<v Speaker 1>the ninth inning rather. The Dodgers are up five three

0:45:37.920 --> 0:45:42.480
<v Speaker 1>over the Cubs. Jason Hayward gets on base. I guess

0:45:42.520 --> 0:45:45.800
<v Speaker 1>he hit. I guess he hit a double or somehow

0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:49.840
<v Speaker 1>he got the second base whatever. There are two outs

0:45:51.200 --> 0:45:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and Victor Karattini is up. Okay. He was so petrified,

0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:01.160
<v Speaker 1>was Kenley Jansen of Jason hey Wards stealing signs at

0:46:01.160 --> 0:46:02.839
<v Speaker 1>second base of the five three games, So the home

0:46:02.920 --> 0:46:07.320
<v Speaker 1>run home run will tie it. Hayward did not matter

0:46:07.560 --> 0:46:11.280
<v Speaker 1>if he scores a run whatever. He was so petrified.

0:46:11.880 --> 0:46:16.040
<v Speaker 1>All the club's stealing signs are second base, Kenley Jansen

0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:20.319
<v Speaker 1>committed an intentional book to move Heyward to third to

0:46:20.440 --> 0:46:23.920
<v Speaker 1>make sure those signs were stolen. That is insane, I guess.

0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's like some next level like baseball logic.

0:46:26.960 --> 0:46:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I could see why he would want to

0:46:28.800 --> 0:46:33.200
<v Speaker 1>do it. Really that scared. It's like Henley Jansen they

0:46:33.200 --> 0:46:35.240
<v Speaker 1>were talking about this last night on the ESPN broadcast,

0:46:35.320 --> 0:46:37.600
<v Speaker 1>who clearly hasn't been himself. He's not like the Kenley

0:46:37.680 --> 0:46:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Janson of old. He's more of like a mid three's

0:46:39.840 --> 0:46:42.120
<v Speaker 1>e r a closer now. But I don't even see, man,

0:46:42.120 --> 0:46:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you're that worried about you know, if they if the

0:46:44.680 --> 0:46:47.360
<v Speaker 1>if the hitter knows the difference between a sinker or

0:46:47.400 --> 0:46:49.040
<v Speaker 1>a cutter, if he knows what's coming, then maybe could

0:46:49.040 --> 0:46:50.719
<v Speaker 1>square it up more. I mean, I could see some

0:46:50.760 --> 0:46:52.480
<v Speaker 1>of the logic, but man, I've never heard of an

0:46:52.520 --> 0:46:55.520
<v Speaker 1>intentional BOK. How about you, Maddiemo, No, I've never heard

0:46:55.520 --> 0:46:58.920
<v Speaker 1>of it before. I agree. I thought it was really interesting,

0:46:59.080 --> 0:47:01.719
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't even know you what you know? I

0:47:01.760 --> 0:47:04.920
<v Speaker 1>guess because he said I'm gonna do I'm gonna intentionally

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:08.239
<v Speaker 1>do he he literally looked to his infielders. I'm looking

0:47:08.280 --> 0:47:10.720
<v Speaker 1>at it, turned back. I'm gonna balk. I'm gonna balk,

0:47:10.760 --> 0:47:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna balk. And he just sat there. I don't

0:47:12.680 --> 0:47:14.200
<v Speaker 1>know how this is a book, but he just sat there,

0:47:14.239 --> 0:47:17.640
<v Speaker 1>like playing with his necklace. Yes, on the rubber, maybe

0:47:18.120 --> 0:47:21.640
<v Speaker 1>just playing with his necklace until the umbuyer said, buck,

0:47:23.520 --> 0:47:28.400
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting. Wild wild that is that is insane. That

0:47:28.520 --> 0:47:31.440
<v Speaker 1>is insane. Yeah, I've never seen anything like Yeah, I've

0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:35.000
<v Speaker 1>never seen anything like that as well, Maddiemo. Any pony words,

0:47:35.080 --> 0:47:38.520
<v Speaker 1>my friend. Now, just you know we're in for, you know,

0:47:38.600 --> 0:47:42.440
<v Speaker 1>another great week of baseball. So you know, everybody good luck,

0:47:42.600 --> 0:47:44.799
<v Speaker 1>and you know, hopefully pitching is better this week than

0:47:44.800 --> 0:47:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it was last week, at least for me. Follow Maddiemo

<v Speaker 1>I'll talk to you next week. Oh is pleasure, gentleman. Madam.

0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to you soon enough, our conversations turning to

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:07.600
<v Speaker 1>football and figure out how you likeking football. Oh yeah, no,

0:48:07.680 --> 0:48:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be fun. I'm I'm starting my prep to you.

0:48:10.120 --> 0:48:12.600
<v Speaker 1>You know you gotta get you started a couple of

0:48:12.640 --> 0:48:16.280
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago. You gotta get involved, you know. J Absolutely,

0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to start looking as well. With that, we're

0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:22.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna say goodbye on YouTube for now. Come up next,

0:48:22.719 --> 0:48:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Lostamakia will have you covered at the window, at

0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:28.279
<v Speaker 1>the betting window. Let you know where to place those

0:48:28.400 --> 0:48:30.520
<v Speaker 1>NFL futures. Take a look and would happen this past weekend.

0:48:30.520 --> 0:48:33.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure opine on that Anthony Davis trade right for you,

0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:35.479
<v Speaker 1>the best bets forever we want. We take a minute

0:48:35.480 --> 0:48:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and I guess discuss the Anthony Davis trade from our perspective.

0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:40.319
<v Speaker 1>What do you think? I thought it was a win

0:48:40.360 --> 0:48:44.320
<v Speaker 1>win for both sides. You can't you have to decide

0:48:44.320 --> 0:48:46.360
<v Speaker 1>what you want to do with Lebron James. You can't

0:48:47.160 --> 0:48:49.560
<v Speaker 1>have him on this team with another year of developing

0:48:49.600 --> 0:48:51.759
<v Speaker 1>young players around him. When you have Lebron James on

0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:54.160
<v Speaker 1>your team age thirty four thirty five season, you have

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to win. You have to put yourself in position to

0:48:55.880 --> 0:48:58.080
<v Speaker 1>win now. And I think the Lakers did just that.

0:48:58.560 --> 0:49:01.000
<v Speaker 1>The New Orleans Pelicans ended up the massive haul. They

0:49:01.000 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 1>get Alonzo Ball, they get Brandon Ingram, they get Josh Hart,

0:49:04.160 --> 0:49:06.319
<v Speaker 1>They get three first round picks, and I believe they

0:49:06.320 --> 0:49:10.080
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to swap picks in every year that

0:49:10.120 --> 0:49:12.600
<v Speaker 1>they don't have one of those first round picks from

0:49:12.920 --> 0:49:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the New Orleans Pelicans. So just a massive haul here

0:49:15.600 --> 0:49:18.000
<v Speaker 1>for that team. And now they have a young nucleus

0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:21.680
<v Speaker 1>of Alonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Zion Williamson. They

0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:24.160
<v Speaker 1>have the fourth overall pick as well in this draft,

0:49:24.400 --> 0:49:27.680
<v Speaker 1>which they've talked about potentially moving, so they're getting some

0:49:27.719 --> 0:49:31.319
<v Speaker 1>interest there. So, um, they're very busy, very busy down

0:49:31.320 --> 0:49:34.120
<v Speaker 1>in New Orleans. But uh, they might put themselves in

0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:36.240
<v Speaker 1>position to be a really good defensive team with Alonzo

0:49:36.280 --> 0:49:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Ball and Drew Holiday playing together. And look, the Lakers

0:49:39.600 --> 0:49:42.360
<v Speaker 1>are now the favorites to win the NBA Finals. They

0:49:42.400 --> 0:49:45.000
<v Speaker 1>are three to one favorites Lebron and Anthony Davis, and

0:49:45.200 --> 0:49:47.800
<v Speaker 1>they're looking at bringing in potentially a Kemba Walker or

0:49:47.840 --> 0:49:50.040
<v Speaker 1>a Kawhi Leonard. You get your third superstar in there.

0:49:50.080 --> 0:49:52.400
<v Speaker 1>And the West is wide open next year because we

0:49:52.440 --> 0:49:55.520
<v Speaker 1>know the Golden State Warriors will be without Kevin Durant

0:49:55.600 --> 0:49:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and likely Klay Thompson for the entirety of the season,

0:49:58.320 --> 0:50:01.640
<v Speaker 1>So the Western Conference is open for the Yes Western Conference.

0:50:01.680 --> 0:50:04.279
<v Speaker 1>He's out there given all the injuries in Golden State.

0:50:04.320 --> 0:50:05.759
<v Speaker 1>I also thought it was a win win. I get

0:50:05.760 --> 0:50:07.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of credit David Griffin because some have that

0:50:07.800 --> 0:50:11.040
<v Speaker 1>offer um that we heard about from the Lakers to

0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:13.279
<v Speaker 1>the Pelicans mid season, it got better. I mean, he

0:50:13.320 --> 0:50:15.120
<v Speaker 1>got Do you think so, I think they should have

0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:18.799
<v Speaker 1>taken it. No, the Lakers were offering Kuzma too. They

0:50:18.800 --> 0:50:21.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't want Kuzma. They wanted the picks because not because

0:50:21.320 --> 0:50:24.480
<v Speaker 1>now they have this year's number four pick, which you

0:50:24.480 --> 0:50:27.520
<v Speaker 1>know at the time obvious she had the number four pick,

0:50:27.680 --> 0:50:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and then you get two other first round picks, plus

0:50:30.920 --> 0:50:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the ability to swap with the Lakers at one point

0:50:33.680 --> 0:50:37.120
<v Speaker 1>in there through our potential first round picks from the

0:50:37.200 --> 0:50:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Lakers there, and there's a bunch of protections that make

0:50:39.960 --> 0:50:42.080
<v Speaker 1>sure that the pick is gonna be good, right like

0:50:42.440 --> 0:50:44.359
<v Speaker 1>they if they don't take a pick one year, they've

0:50:44.400 --> 0:50:47.279
<v Speaker 1>taken another year. It's it's really really impressive. I thought

0:50:47.320 --> 0:50:49.080
<v Speaker 1>what Griffin did the only thing that does scare me.

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Because I was talking to Dr Mitchell Rosalind about there

0:50:51.120 --> 0:50:53.960
<v Speaker 1>on Doc Jock. He said Ingram was untradeable because these

0:50:53.960 --> 0:50:56.000
<v Speaker 1>blood plots, because if it's as bad as like Chris Bosh,

0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:57.960
<v Speaker 1>his career is over, so he was a little bit

0:50:57.960 --> 0:51:01.160
<v Speaker 1>concerned about Ingram. I've see the Pelicans and their doctors

0:51:01.239 --> 0:51:04.040
<v Speaker 1>were not make the trade happen. I agree they had

0:51:04.120 --> 0:51:05.840
<v Speaker 1>to do it because you have the the young players,

0:51:05.880 --> 0:51:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the young draft picks and twenty next year. It doesn't

0:51:11.800 --> 0:51:14.160
<v Speaker 1>matter you got. I got a guy in his prime

0:51:14.400 --> 0:51:17.960
<v Speaker 1>right now. And that's why Anthony Davis is a blockbuster

0:51:18.160 --> 0:51:21.919
<v Speaker 1>trade and ultimately sets up the Knicks to once again

0:51:21.920 --> 0:51:24.919
<v Speaker 1>to be a disaster. Come on, great, trust the process, man,

0:51:25.200 --> 0:51:27.560
<v Speaker 1>they're building through the draft. Let's not do anything too crazy.

0:51:27.560 --> 0:51:29.279
<v Speaker 1>And now we got reports over the weekend they could

0:51:29.320 --> 0:51:35.200
<v Speaker 1>be interested in Julius Randall. Honestly, downs he's my guy.

0:51:35.239 --> 0:51:37.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, come on, let's let's uh, Let's continue to

0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:39.839
<v Speaker 1>build this team from the ground up, a young team.

0:51:39.920 --> 0:51:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Julius Randall is young in that regard as well. If

0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:46.880
<v Speaker 1>you have a lineup of Dennis Smith, R. J. Barrett,

0:51:46.960 --> 0:51:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Knox, Julius Randall, and Mitchell Robinson, at the least,

0:51:51.280 --> 0:51:53.680
<v Speaker 1>they'll be fun to watch at the least. All right,

0:51:53.760 --> 0:51:55.960
<v Speaker 1>let's do our best bets forever. Frank, it was not

0:51:56.040 --> 0:51:58.759
<v Speaker 1>a great week for you. Maybe we'll make this week better.

0:51:58.840 --> 0:52:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's start keeping tracking these two as well. I mean,

0:52:01.000 --> 0:52:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I believe I'm like undefeated astime, So yeah,

0:52:03.680 --> 0:52:05.520
<v Speaker 1>we honestly, for your sake, we should have been keeping

0:52:05.520 --> 0:52:07.160
<v Speaker 1>track a long time ago so that we can tell

0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:09.719
<v Speaker 1>everyone that Greg's like, I don't know, twelve and two

0:52:09.760 --> 0:52:12.560
<v Speaker 1>over the past two weeks. Man, he's absolutely crushing it.

0:52:12.600 --> 0:52:15.600
<v Speaker 1>So Greggy, he's uh, he's getting it done. I have

0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:19.839
<v Speaker 1>not been as formidable as Greg admitted. It doesn't matter

0:52:19.840 --> 0:52:23.040
<v Speaker 1>those a little bit more research this morning. I'm taking

0:52:23.080 --> 0:52:25.879
<v Speaker 1>an underdog money line that I feel very good about

0:52:25.920 --> 0:52:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Greg and if the Houston Astros going to Cincinnati against

0:52:30.040 --> 0:52:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Louise Castio. The Astros have performed very well against right

0:52:32.960 --> 0:52:34.920
<v Speaker 1>handed pitching so far this year. The Reds, on the

0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:37.600
<v Speaker 1>other hand, have not performed well against left handed pitching.

0:52:37.760 --> 0:52:39.719
<v Speaker 1>We know how good the Houston Astros are. I don't

0:52:39.719 --> 0:52:42.759
<v Speaker 1>care that they're on the road. They're an underdog in

0:52:42.840 --> 0:52:44.960
<v Speaker 1>this spot plus one oh six money line. I'm taking

0:52:44.960 --> 0:52:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Wade Miley and the Strows against the Reds. Gregg. For me,

0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I looked to Washington as Patrick Corbyn taking on Jake Arietta.

0:52:51.560 --> 0:52:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the under here, Frank. Ten runs a

0:52:53.640 --> 0:52:55.239
<v Speaker 1>lot of runs. I thought it a lot. I thought

0:52:55.239 --> 0:52:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I thought ten was a lot. You got Corbyn, you

0:52:56.920 --> 0:52:59.959
<v Speaker 1>got Arietta. Uh the under here mnus one oh six.

0:53:00.120 --> 0:53:02.040
<v Speaker 1>That's what we're gonna take tonight with like under ten

0:53:02.120 --> 0:53:04.640
<v Speaker 1>runs in the Gnats and the Phillies. The only other

0:53:04.719 --> 0:53:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Lean I had was Wade Miley and the Astros. I

0:53:06.680 --> 0:53:08.160
<v Speaker 1>thought that was a clear You get the astros A

0:53:08.200 --> 0:53:10.520
<v Speaker 1>plus money say, no brainer for me. I love what
