Speaker 1: Check out my gravelpit. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Is your boy.
Speaker 1: Dane Martinez feeds the spitting statistician that got Chris Bovona
Speaker 1: on the ones and twos. Over there, we're blowing up
Speaker 1: like a Samsung seven yo. Let's get into a real quick.
Speaker 1: We got a big thing going on a Tuesday. Let
Speaker 1: me give you some news and notes from around Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball. And you would think, just because it's the
Speaker 1: All Star break and we got the All Star Game
Speaker 1: tonight later on in about an hour, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: kicking off that All Star Game, I still have some
Speaker 1: things to let you fantasy players know about. Like, for example,
Speaker 1: Eduardo Nunez is in fact expected back off the disabled
Speaker 1: list for the San Francisco Giants this Friday, in their
Speaker 1: first game back after the break. He's been battling that
Speaker 1: hamstring injury, so owners want to get him back in
Speaker 1: your lineup. And if you want to get into Ward
Speaker 1: o'noon is back in your lineup, how about this one?
Speaker 1: Mike Trout, universally recognized as the best player in baseball,
Speaker 1: He is also expected back this Friday after the break.
Speaker 1: Remember he had that thumb injury. He's finished his rehab.
Speaker 1: He is ready to go. Um. One thing though, that
Speaker 1: I've been talking about here all season long on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle is the idea that with this ten day
Speaker 1: disabled list, how teams are manipulating the roster. Remember for
Speaker 1: a week I talked to you guys about how the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers had a seven man rotation in essence
Speaker 1: because they were just putting guys on the d L,
Speaker 1: sending people down. Well, the commissioner apparently agrees with me. Okay.
Speaker 1: Rob Manford today said that he is in fact concerned
Speaker 1: with the ten day d L uh, you know, and
Speaker 1: how teams maybe manipulating the rosters. Like I said, all
Speaker 1: you need to do here is listen to the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Freestyle and you stay, like you know, ahead of the curve.
Speaker 1: That's what we do. But let's get into the home
Speaker 1: run derby that happened last night and all man all
Speaker 1: rise for the judge. Wow, is really all I have
Speaker 1: to say. Aaron Judge is a complete beast. He's such
Speaker 1: a beast that Giancarlo Stanton, who's also like six seven
Speaker 1: two pounds, was acting like a little child watching Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge put on the display that he did. Count me
Speaker 1: among those that were absolutely stupefied at how ridiculous Aaron
Speaker 1: Judge was last night. The legend grows objection over ruled. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean, my man hit four balls that went over
Speaker 1: five hundred feet. No one else sniffed that kind of distance.
Speaker 1: And then dude hit one that literally hit the roof
Speaker 1: in Miami. They didn't even call at a home run.
Speaker 1: That thing was on pace to go about six hundred feet.
Speaker 1: Who knows. I mean, this guy was just hitting like
Speaker 1: easy opposite field line drives and they were going out.
Speaker 1: This guy was missing balls, okay, not squaring up balls,
Speaker 1: and they were going four hundred and thirty feet. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, Aaron Judge has got to be
Speaker 1: in the mix for years to come. I just hope
Speaker 1: that as a Yankee fan, that you know, he doesn't
Speaker 1: go through that kind of second half swoon that happens
Speaker 1: to a lot of home run derby participants that start
Speaker 1: to kind of maybe try to hit home runs. The
Speaker 1: whole key with Aaron Judge is that he does not
Speaker 1: need to try to hit home runs or just his
Speaker 1: launch angle or anything like that. His natural power does
Speaker 1: the trick, and boy was that on display.
