WEBVTT - All rise for the Judge!

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Check out my gravelpit. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle.

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Is your boy.

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Dane Martinez feeds the spitting statistician that got Chris Bovona

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.440
<v Speaker 1>on the ones and twos. Over there, we're blowing up

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>like a Samsung seven yo. Let's get into a real quick.

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>We got a big thing going on a Tuesday. Let

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>me give you some news and notes from around Major

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>League Baseball. And you would think, just because it's the

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:36.520
<v Speaker 1>All Star break and we got the All Star Game

0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>tonight later on in about an hour, that's gonna be

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 1>kicking off that All Star Game, I still have some

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:44.599
<v Speaker 1>things to let you fantasy players know about. Like, for example,

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Eduardo Nunez is in fact expected back off the disabled

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>list for the San Francisco Giants this Friday, in their

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>first game back after the break. He's been battling that

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>hamstring injury, so owners want to get him back in

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>your lineup. And if you want to get into Ward

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>o'noon is back in your lineup, how about this one?

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Mike Trout, universally recognized as the best player in baseball,

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>He is also expected back this Friday after the break.

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Remember he had that thumb injury. He's finished his rehab.

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>He is ready to go. Um. One thing though, that

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I've been talking about here all season long on the

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Freestyle is the idea that with this ten day

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>disabled list, how teams are manipulating the roster. Remember for

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a week I talked to you guys about how the

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles Dodgers had a seven man rotation in essence

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>because they were just putting guys on the d L,

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>sending people down. Well, the commissioner apparently agrees with me. Okay.

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Rob Manford today said that he is in fact concerned

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>with the ten day d L uh, you know, and

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>how teams maybe manipulating the rosters. Like I said, all

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you need to do here is listen to the Fantasy

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Freestyle and you stay, like you know, ahead of the curve.

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:55.840
<v Speaker 1>That's what we do. But let's get into the home

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>run derby that happened last night and all man all

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>rise for the judge. Wow, is really all I have

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to say. Aaron Judge is a complete beast. He's such

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.959
<v Speaker 1>a beast that Giancarlo Stanton, who's also like six seven

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>two pounds, was acting like a little child watching Aaron

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Judge put on the display that he did. Count me

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>among those that were absolutely stupefied at how ridiculous Aaron

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Judge was last night. The legend grows objection over ruled. Okay,

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, my man hit four balls that went over

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>five hundred feet. No one else sniffed that kind of distance.

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>And then dude hit one that literally hit the roof

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>in Miami. They didn't even call at a home run.

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>That thing was on pace to go about six hundred feet.

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Who knows. I mean, this guy was just hitting like

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>easy opposite field line drives and they were going out.

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>This guy was missing balls, okay, not squaring up balls,

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 1>and they were going four hundred and thirty feet. I'm

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>telling you right now, Aaron Judge has got to be

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 1>in the mix for years to come. I just hope

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>that as a Yankee fan, that you know, he doesn't

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>go through that kind of second half swoon that happens

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of home run derby participants that start

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.679
<v Speaker 1>to kind of maybe try to hit home runs. The

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>whole key with Aaron Judge is that he does not

0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>need to try to hit home runs or just his

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>launch angle or anything like that. His natural power does

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the trick, and boy was that on display.
