Speaker 1: two fantasy best friends forever. I had us the Sports
Speaker 1: or Radio Network alongside Franky Stample. I'm Greg Susman, joint
Speaker 1: for our number two, as we are each and every day,
Speaker 1: The Closer Chris met up, Chris. What's up? Guys. It's
Speaker 1: your boy The Closer here today and we'll talk some baseball.
Speaker 1: We are going, We're we're gonna talk some You got
Speaker 1: on right there today. Yeah, you gave up on the
Speaker 1: Rockies after the uh the Rocky start. No, No, I'm
Speaker 1: stilling the Rockies, still in the Rockies, but because you
Speaker 1: gave up on the purple hair Planet hat, so you're
Speaker 1: not dumping off the bandwagon yet, right, I never give
Speaker 1: up Rock two games in a row. Now, well, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say he was rocked. Seven are runs the second game.
Speaker 1: I don't know he was rocked. He full of walks.
Speaker 1: The walks are an issue. Listen. I know he's not
Speaker 1: going to be great all the time, but especially not
Speaker 1: in cors Field. Yeah, there is a guy I'm interested
Speaker 1: that's out there on waivers though. Was that a little
Speaker 1: bit of Tyson Ross? Tyson Ross? Tyson Ross? So Gregg's
Speaker 1: got the head in the hand, Tyson Ross killing it.
Speaker 1: Greg has been in on Tyson Ross in years past.
Speaker 1: I certainly haven't, by the way, has people. Uh this
Speaker 1: is so ridiculous. My entire team are starting pitching staffishes.
Speaker 1: Hurt Archer spended tie on the day to day John
Speaker 1: Lester officially placed on the iologist. Now well you can
Speaker 1: make some moves, now, great, you can, you can. I
Speaker 1: don't have enough spots at least's John Lester and not
Speaker 1: like you know, tie on or Yeah it could be
Speaker 1: get hit the head. Yeah I can't say that too soon.
Speaker 1: Yeah I might know. This might be my opportunity job
Speaker 1: dropped um Tyson Ross twelve strikeouts in the twelve winnings
Speaker 1: pitch Greg Ye see interest. I'm good with Tyson Rossting.
Speaker 1: This year he's got a ten point six per cent
Speaker 1: spinking strike rate, which is his highest since seen when
Speaker 1: he was still with the Padres, when he was dirty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what it's worth, greg is his first pitch strike percentage
Speaker 1: not good. Fly behind a counts very often. That's bad.
Speaker 1: It's very bad. League averages usually around sixty. Very good.
Speaker 1: Losty also down. I think I'm out. I think I'm
Speaker 1: on this ventum. Now I'm saying it's a guy. Maybe
Speaker 1: you stream him. Take a look at start stream h
Speaker 1: We cant see any in Sure plays in the division.
Speaker 1: I'm right with that watch list we're talking here. You
Speaker 1: know anybody here on your watch list? It's a watch list.
Speaker 1: There's there's no minimum. Oh yo yo, there is a
Speaker 1: maximumstball nine. ESPN the maximum people you know your watch list? Really,
Speaker 1: once you have too many, you can't add anymore. Now,
Speaker 1: who does not cross ESPN off the list of places
Speaker 1: where we play CBS? In CBS, you can't see how
Speaker 1: much other people did. Maybe sometimes you don't want to know.
Speaker 1: I do. I always want to know. It's a joke.
Speaker 1: It's important to joke. I agree with that. I don't
Speaker 1: like that, but crossing off the list limited watch list
Speaker 1: for also, I don't care. We should make we should
Speaker 1: make our own fantasy website. Let's see just something you
Speaker 1: can do when you're up in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: It seems like it seems very hard to do venture. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you need a lot of stats plugged in from another sword.
Speaker 1: Probably also need like and you have to have something
Speaker 1: of contract. I'm sure. Yeah, the player and the players
Speaker 1: Association right to use their names. I think. I think
Speaker 1: there's websites where that you pay for a package for
Speaker 1: the whole tracks. That's where we gotta go, Greg, My
Speaker 1: tracks is nice. I like franchise. Actually, I play with
Speaker 1: you on the Best Ball League. I haven't checked out
Speaker 1: on any of my Best Ball teams yet. Usually I'll
Speaker 1: checked once per month because I mean, it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1: There's nothing I could do now anyways, Yeah you can't.
Speaker 1: I just check to see where we're at. And I'm
Speaker 1: in second and you are in fourth? Who was in first?
Speaker 1: As long as it's not Florida's show. Hey, the money,
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. That might be one
Speaker 1: of my buddies text the money. That happens, all right?
Speaker 1: Let a lot to recap from last night. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: start with the Seattle Mariners, who improved to ten in
Speaker 1: two on the season. Yesterday were feeding Kansas City. It's
Speaker 1: Kansas City to five and e goes deep not once,
Speaker 1: but twice in the same damnang twice in the sixth inning.
Speaker 1: And when a Karnasi goes deep the second time in
Speaker 1: his career that he has home worked twice in the
Speaker 1: same The Seattle Mariners have runs scored this season. They
Speaker 1: are number one in Baseball American League? Would you like
Speaker 1: to guess who number two is? Where they rank? Well,
Speaker 1: rather how many runs they have? I probably could guess this.
Speaker 1: What do you I mean? The Dodgers would be an
Speaker 1: obvious choice, but I'd say they're in third. No, they're
Speaker 1: in second, but I mean only in the American leag
Speaker 1: Let's do American League, because that's where the big disparity is.
Speaker 1: The Mariners have ninety run score the Dodgers have eighty seven.
Speaker 1: So the two, three, four, five, six seven ranked run
Speaker 1: scored teams this season are all National League teams. Arizona
Speaker 1: is up there. Seventh is an American League team. How
Speaker 1: many runs scores do they have? And who are they?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Oakland eighties. That is correct, It
Speaker 1: is the Oakland A's their second in the American League,
Speaker 1: seventh overall in baseball and run score. So they're way
Speaker 1: behind the Seattle Mariners right now. Would you like to
Speaker 1: guess how many runs score they have? I wouldn't hit that. No,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Mariners are nine and have ninety
Speaker 1: eight sixty three. Good guess fifty five. They're forty three
Speaker 1: runs scored behind the Mariners. That is insane. How many
Speaker 1: games have the Mariners played? Now? Well, they've played twelve,
Speaker 1: Dodgers have played eleven. How about this? Oakland has played fourteen?
Speaker 1: They played the most most ball? Yeah, Oakland wasn't And
Speaker 1: the marriages have Greig? What the hell is going on
Speaker 1: in Seattle? The juicing these balls? Bombs? Oh and in
Speaker 1: Kansas City last night bombs. As long as they're facing
Speaker 1: Homer Bailey, I think they'll be all right. They were
Speaker 1: facing last night. But but to see Edwin and Karna
Speaker 1: kind of joined the party here because he's had a
Speaker 1: slow start, he was ling with the Haynd injury. He
Speaker 1: gets in on the fun. But Dan Vogelbach it's a
Speaker 1: home run. And now we have we stack cast data
Speaker 1: is now live for the twenty nine season. Dan Vogelboch
Speaker 1: leads all baseball and average eggs of velocity and he's
Speaker 1: up there in barrels per played appearance too. So remember
Speaker 1: yesterday what I said, is there a way that they
Speaker 1: could get vogel Box Andcarnacion and j Bruce all on
Speaker 1: the line And they did. Let yesterday they did exactly that.
Speaker 1: They Mitch Handeger and center. They put Jay Bruce in
Speaker 1: right field. All right, we don't care about defense. We're
Speaker 1: gonna sacrifice it because we're gonna score thirteen runs tonight.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what they did. Then vogo Bock hits homer.
Speaker 1: J Bruce hits a homer. Domingo Santan, Santana can't stop,
Speaker 1: won't stop. This lineup was awesome. Who's missing from this lineup?
Speaker 1: I know Beckham is Alex Smith was out yesterday. Oh
Speaker 1: so Malex Smith? So so how just wanted to get
Speaker 1: all the bats in right? So but what I'm saying
Speaker 1: Alex Smith does he become a guy that you worry
Speaker 1: about missing because Vogo Box is so hot? No, I
Speaker 1: think ultimately it won't. It won't really matter, probably because
Speaker 1: you have this lineup like a day off to someone
Speaker 1: per day, Like they'll give up j Bruce a day
Speaker 1: per week. You're giving Carnassi on a day per week,
Speaker 1: and that's how Vogo Bok will get his points. You
Speaker 1: just look at this lineup right now. It's not sustainable
Speaker 1: what they're doing, and like who it is? Like the
Speaker 1: announce all the guys are the same and a Mitch Hanniger,
Speaker 1: Migo Santana, Jabrus Andcarnassio Danni will go back Ryan Healy there.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say Hannagher is the same as those guys Morvaz,
Speaker 1: They're all just monstros human beings. Not well, yeah, Domingo
Speaker 1: Bruce have some like Mitch Handger can could do it all.
Speaker 1: And then you have Malex Smith and p Gordon who
Speaker 1: set the table not be on and these guys run
Speaker 1: they actually they have a pretty I would say it's
Speaker 1: were completely balanced. It's deep because it's it's speed and
Speaker 1: it's power. You don't really have a lot of bagging
Speaker 1: average in this lineup, like to eighty, but outside of him,
Speaker 1: it's like maybe Domingo Santana two seventy five and by
Speaker 1: the way, but everyone else is just either power or speed.
Speaker 1: By the way, in this one, Consion try to feeling
Speaker 1: a bass? Did he did every effort? Though I saw
Speaker 1: that last night. I said, really, you just went to
Speaker 1: You couldn't You couldn't just settle for the for the
Speaker 1: two homers. I think it's a hitting try and feel
Speaker 1: base here. So so last night in this one, and
Speaker 1: I didn't see any of it. Do Felix act as
Speaker 1: an opener or they just took a nine after the
Speaker 1: first any to get hurt? What what happened to Felix
Speaker 1: definitely was not an opener. I believe it was his
Speaker 1: birthday yesterday to four. I saw that he only went
Speaker 1: one any as well. I assumed that it was some
Speaker 1: kind of injury. Was lifted from Monday start with the
Speaker 1: virus like symptoms. Okay, all right, well it still doesn't
Speaker 1: have much fantasy relevant to them. But what do you
Speaker 1: do with the with these marriage guys are now you're
Speaker 1: trying to sell all these guys high. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: we're still only a couple of weeks in this season.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people are gonna want to
Speaker 1: trade to be realistic, but maybe Santana has nineteen RBIs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's the one guy on this team that I
Speaker 1: wouldn't try to see I'm buying. Everybody else was also
Speaker 1: high everybody that mechanic who I like, But like everybody else,
Speaker 1: I'm hi. I don't think there's gonna be much trade
Speaker 1: return for a guy like well, no you're not. But
Speaker 1: they're also not selling Hannager. He said that it kind
Speaker 1: of goes into town. I don't know that I would
Speaker 1: either though. Still, and like, he's thirty home runs, he's
Speaker 1: been trending down for sure, and he gets hurt. What
Speaker 1: if he gets traded to a better lineup? Is there
Speaker 1: at him? Well, yeah, right now, I know right now
Speaker 1: the matters of the hottest but there I don't think therefore,
Speaker 1: but you know, if they do start to regress a
Speaker 1: little bit, and the law of averages say that they
Speaker 1: probably will, they weren't expected to compete this year if
Speaker 1: they trade Incarnacio and he could potentially Lane got in
Speaker 1: a good spot. So I don't know that I want
Speaker 1: to trade any of these guys. I think I want
Speaker 1: exposure to the matter's lineup. Right now, I would trade
Speaker 1: I would Bruce. Bruce is the one I trade. He
Speaker 1: was playing seven games. Trade you could have been picked
Speaker 1: him up yesterday. That's why I'm hoping I could get
Speaker 1: into something. You know what it's worth mentioning that Jay
Speaker 1: Bruce wasn't healthy last year, man, and he's already off
Speaker 1: to a good start. He's got six homers. I think
Speaker 1: the batting average is still not good. It's it's one
Speaker 1: eight six, But this is kind of who j Bruce is.
Speaker 1: Low banning average, it's home runs. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: get I think he's gonna get back to hinting thirty
Speaker 1: homers this year. Guy he had last year when he
Speaker 1: was hurt. Every year, it's pretty much every year it's
Speaker 1: thirty home runs. He probably will. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: get back to hinting thirty homers this year if he
Speaker 1: gets the playing time. He probably striking out a lot. Though.
Speaker 1: Let me go the phone la four four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven eight four or four eight four three six Sevenine,
Speaker 1: it's gonna Stephen in Massachusetts. It's up, Steve. What's up, guys?
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing doing? Man? Hey, So I
Speaker 1: had a question a question for you guys. First thing,
Speaker 1: real quick, Um, do you guys play in ESPN leagues
Speaker 1: because I wanted to know how like that their eligibility works,
Speaker 1: because I noticed that like I was waiting for like
Speaker 1: mgul Cabrera like awesome meadows to get like the to
Speaker 1: get like d h eligibility and I don't. And I
Speaker 1: saw that first that his like eligibility went to like
Speaker 1: two or something, and then it went up to three.
Speaker 1: Does that mean like the higher the higher the numbers go,
Speaker 1: that means that that's exactly like when it when it
Speaker 1: goes to the eligibility or is it supposed to be
Speaker 1: when it goes down? So in in ESPN, Chris plays
Speaker 1: in ESPN, how many games have taken a position for
Speaker 1: a player to eligible ten? So I bet when it
Speaker 1: either exactly going up or down that number. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know where the number is. But you either
Speaker 1: gotta get to tender, you gotta get to zero on
Speaker 1: that number to get right what you need. So um,
Speaker 1: I got like Yanni Das, I actually got a Twitter
Speaker 1: question about like when is he about the third base
Speaker 1: in ESPN? He said, yes, he had six games. I
Speaker 1: assume yesterday was seven, So it's like he only needs
Speaker 1: like three more games and he's there. He just needs
Speaker 1: to get to that ten number. But my question is,
Speaker 1: why do you want a guy who's eligible d H.
Speaker 1: He probably has a D eight spot and yeah yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and in the leg and the leg that I was doing, uh,
Speaker 1: it has like a d H spot because he has
Speaker 1: like the utilities and like a DH spot. And right
Speaker 1: now I have morality there and like morality just stinks. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was just looking to put Cabrera there right right,
Speaker 1: right right, yeah, I mean ten games should be should
Speaker 1: do it, yeah, I should do it for sure. Right
Speaker 1: now he's just first base. Yeah, because he even like
Speaker 1: even like Djalia Mayor like he's playing he was, he's
Speaker 1: been playing like third base and he still hasn't even
Speaker 1: got an ultibility and that right, so so so exactly
Speaker 1: because he hasn't played ten games at a third base.
Speaker 1: It only like a base eligibility until he does. Steve,
Speaker 1: we appreciate the call. Brian. Who else be having the line?
Speaker 1: Let's go to Tim in Wisconsin Euroupe next? What's not Tim?
Speaker 1: It's going great? Man, what's happening? I had a die
Speaker 1: category league. I had a guy who just dropped. It's
Speaker 1: like a top players, some of them are warranted and
Speaker 1: some of them are just kind of whatever. But I
Speaker 1: wonder if I should pick any He's guy to stop
Speaker 1: he dropped, like Marcello Porcello, Brian Dojert, and Corey Dickerson.
Speaker 1: O God, so a bunch of injured guys just got
Speaker 1: dropped in his league. He wants to know should you
Speaker 1: pick any of them up? Frank, Yeah, definitely Marcelo Zuna.
Speaker 1: I don't know what your outfield situation looks like, but regardless,
Speaker 1: I would find a way to get him on my team.
Speaker 1: Like if he was dropping in one of my home leagues,
Speaker 1: I would be really aggressive on trying to pick him up.
Speaker 1: He was really the name that stood out you mentioned.
Speaker 1: Rick Porcello, Corey Dickerson goes on the I l Brian Doser. Look,
Speaker 1: if you need middle infield help, that's fine. I saw
Speaker 1: someone tweeting over the weekend about how he's faced the
Speaker 1: toughest starting pitchers to start the season and that's maybe
Speaker 1: why he's off to a slow start. But ultimately I
Speaker 1: wasn't big on Brian dojer this year, so it depends
Speaker 1: what you need, but overall, I would rank Marcello Zuna first. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why he would drop him. He's getting
Speaker 1: hot now too. He just hit his second home run
Speaker 1: either yesterday or Sunday. I believe it was Sunday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she was mere. Pocello is interesting. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 1: a big Pacello guy, but either, I mean, he could
Speaker 1: be a valuable stream at some point, but people own
Speaker 1: him like he's highly owned usually, so I would think,
Speaker 1: you know, if you need some starting pitching help, not
Speaker 1: a bad pickup. Otherwise, the rest of the guys was
Speaker 1: it was there, Nick Castianos in there, Bryan does your
Speaker 1: Corey Dickerson he mentioned, I'm not as high as guys
Speaker 1: look for Rick Porcello. You stream him in the right matchup.
Speaker 1: Obviously plays in the Al East, so like Toronto against Baltimore.
Speaker 1: If you want to stream him there, that's fine. You
Speaker 1: want to get quality starts out of him, wins, that's
Speaker 1: probably realistic, but and whip. He doesn't walk a lot
Speaker 1: of guys. But but the strikeouts are gonna be there,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be prone to some of these blow
Speaker 1: up games as over the weekend too. So I'm not
Speaker 1: as high on Porcello was gonna That was just an anomaly,
Speaker 1: very weird. It's anomaly, bad news. Zimmerman's losing ones ever, Greg,
Speaker 1: don't say anything. It's only the first that ain't come
Speaker 1: on here we go give up a leader home blow up? No,
Speaker 1: come on, man, he's home. It's the Tigers. Let's go Tiger. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I have him starting in my home league for two starts.
Speaker 1: Josh Harrison just got a single. It was so happy
Speaker 1: he was on first days, like yeah, because he's beat
Speaker 1: in like one nine Yeah. And it was against Corey
Speaker 1: Klueber a pictures due. Who would have thought Jordan's Everman
Speaker 1: Klueber club needs to pitch well here today. I feel
Speaker 1: like we we still have a lot to go over
Speaker 1: from last night. We're about to hit a break, so
Speaker 1: I guess let's not start anything, but we do have
Speaker 1: a lot to go over regarding starting pictures from last night.
Speaker 1: A few more bullpen things, we have another. We have
Speaker 1: another new Phillies closer that we need to talk about.

Speaker 1: back end of the Braves rotation. We will address those

Speaker 1: some six and nine am Eastern Time. There you go,
Speaker 1: I'm making it rain. Yankees Astros Verylander, Tanaka sick sick
Speaker 1: Astro's win four to three. Tanaka's great six innings, three hits,
Speaker 1: one runs, who walks through strikeouts. Verlander solid as well,
Speaker 1: six inting, seven hits, three runs, two walk, six strikeouts.
Speaker 1: A big story after the game was did Aaron Boone
Speaker 1: make a massive mistake by pulling Tanaka after seventy eight pitches.
Speaker 1: After the game, Tanaka said no, I gave him everything
Speaker 1: I had in the sixth inning, I had nothing left.
Speaker 1: You know who also had nothing left? Written? How much
Speaker 1: did they how much did they paid to Not gonna
Speaker 1: say that, probably like a hundred sethn million dollars. He
Speaker 1: had nothing left after seven eight, they said, when all
Speaker 1: out of the sixth I don't believe he did only
Speaker 1: have three k's seven. Well, it's a tough lineup, you know,
Speaker 1: the Houston Nationals and not it's it's not gonna swing
Speaker 1: and miss a lot on the best tuve A, Bregman, Brantley.
Speaker 1: These guys are not gonna swing and miss a lot.
Speaker 1: So normally you don't want to start your your pictures
Speaker 1: against the Houston Astros. But Tanaka in a two star week,
Speaker 1: you had to get him in there. I think if
Speaker 1: you started him, obviously you're least with the start against Tanaka.
Speaker 1: Had someone yesterday asking me in the Daily League whether
Speaker 1: they should bench him, and it looked up to Knacka's
Speaker 1: career numbers against Houston and he had an eight point
Speaker 1: eight seven e R eight entering that game. So I said, look,
Speaker 1: if you want to bench him, I get it. I
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with it because he struggled against
Speaker 1: the Astros. So take the start from Tanaka. I believe
Speaker 1: he only had eight swinging shrike sister today. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a lot, uh. And then Verlander solid quality start. Verlander
Speaker 1: hasn't necessarily been the Verlander to start the year that
Speaker 1: we were all hoping for. There were three starts. He
Speaker 1: has a four point to four e r A. Got
Speaker 1: rocked against the Rangers his last time out. Um. He
Speaker 1: has five walks over the last two games. Shince I
Speaker 1: find interesting something I'll pay attended to regarding his command.
Speaker 1: Still had a strike out for any pitched, but hasn't
Speaker 1: been him self. They adventure And this is why I
Speaker 1: wasn't really big on Verlinda on his price being a
Speaker 1: top five starting pitcher this year. Last year, Cole had like,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, they haven't. They both haven't been lights
Speaker 1: out yet. They've been fine. But Cole has been better, yes,
Speaker 1: And Cole's in his prime and Verlinda is, you know,
Speaker 1: his thing. He had a resurgent year last year, a
Speaker 1: really big year. I think, you know, I think it
Speaker 1: was a little bit not anomaly, but a little bit
Speaker 1: of the best thing you're gonna see from him for
Speaker 1: the rest of his career. I think he's gonna go
Speaker 1: back to a normal Verlin, not a bad Verlinda, but
Speaker 1: a good one, but not a sp one like a
Speaker 1: lights out elite picture. He's not gonna. I don't think
Speaker 1: he is that guy, and that's why I wasn't buying it.
Speaker 1: So I'm not too surprised to see what's going on
Speaker 1: with him right now. He's still pitching. Well, it's not
Speaker 1: he's pitching bad. There's a good start, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean three ar runs start six ks me personally. I
Speaker 1: have him in a few locations and and you paid
Speaker 1: for him. I've been a little underwhelmed. I had him
Speaker 1: as a keeper, so I kept him as uh as
Speaker 1: a thirty dollar keeper in a in an auction, so
Speaker 1: I obviously wanted to keep the ace there. And I
Speaker 1: also drafted Garrett Cole. So I'm all in on the Astros.
Speaker 1: But it seems like the fan grafts projection systems for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season are actually closer to what
Speaker 1: you're saying. Venture They have him uh for between a
Speaker 1: three point one six and a three point four zero
Speaker 1: e r A the rest of the way, so you know,
Speaker 1: not the two point five from last year, which is
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, but maybe closer to a low
Speaker 1: three z r A. I mean, if he gives you
Speaker 1: a low threes with a good whip, I mean that's
Speaker 1: obviously fine. Yahout. But you just didn't want to pay.
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to pay for the price that
Speaker 1: he was this year because it's it's a lot. It's
Speaker 1: the best price he's ever had, really, so you're buying
Speaker 1: him based off of a career year and he's what,
Speaker 1: he's thirty six years old, So I under I understand that,
Speaker 1: and I didn't. I only ended up with one share
Speaker 1: of him, so that actively seeking him. But um yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean so far at four point two four e
Speaker 1: ar a not what you've expected. Um, but I wouldn't
Speaker 1: worry even there yet either. I wouldn't worry. I'm not worried,
Speaker 1: but I'm paying attention to the to the walks for sure.
Speaker 1: I agree with you guys, are a judge. He's his
Speaker 1: third hole run of the season. It's got a quiet
Speaker 1: start for Judge, but he's been okay. Three home runs,
Speaker 1: two nine, adding average op over four hundred. Frasier continues
Speaker 1: to about eight and continues to rake four the new
Speaker 1: York Yankees. He was two for four yesterday night as well,
Speaker 1: um any else in this game. Jack Britton sucks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mentioned that I don't want to be now not
Speaker 1: great in there struck out everybody. I just wasn't big
Speaker 1: on the Zach Britton signing. Great gave him a lot
Speaker 1: of money, and it's like he hasn't been lights out
Speaker 1: like he was before the injury. I didn't love it,
Speaker 1: but it's still a good bullpen guys. As Soon has
Speaker 1: been good so far. He picks up his third save
Speaker 1: last night. I just think this is just when Fraser
Speaker 1: stay hot to two hits again last night. I benched
Speaker 1: him last night because he was facing very Landa, so yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine. And then he faced Garret Cole tonight too,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't get any easier. We mentioned before he
Speaker 1: Roy Ryo left this game and the Cardinals wound up
Speaker 1: being the Dodgers four to three. Miles Nicholas, who had
Speaker 1: six in eggs, five hits, three runs, walked one strike
Speaker 1: out of three. We have not seen the uptake and
Speaker 1: strike as so many expected from Nicholas. We have not,
Speaker 1: but the control has still been there and you needed
Speaker 1: to see this start. You need to get a quality
Speaker 1: start out of Mikolas. Based on how he started the season,
Speaker 1: he hasn't been great, to put it lightly, and then
Speaker 1: to do this against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It's not
Speaker 1: like he was lights out, he was amazing. But if
Speaker 1: you get a quality start out of him three runs,
Speaker 1: six endings against you know, the best offense in the
Speaker 1: National League to start the season, I think people will
Speaker 1: certainly take that out of out of Miles Nicholas and
Speaker 1: and this is closer to what I expect from him
Speaker 1: moving forward because we were a little worried with the
Speaker 1: first two starts, right, so it's good to see him
Speaker 1: do that, especially against the Dodgers. I think that's big.
Speaker 1: Uh ejin Ryou, I mean surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise. That's
Speaker 1: exactly right. Anyone in the Dodgers rotation, right, Firshall starts
Speaker 1: the year on the I L. Rich Hill starts year
Speaker 1: on the I L. Now Ryo is going to join them,
Speaker 1: Kershaw back over the weekend. I mean, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of shuffling in and out. This is what
Speaker 1: the Dodgers do. Spoke to Nick Pollock Picture List before
Speaker 1: the season, Greg he dubbed this Dodger writis this is
Speaker 1: exactly what it is. These guys are gonna be shuffled
Speaker 1: in and out of of the injured list. Hopefully they
Speaker 1: do it enough where you know, some of these other
Speaker 1: guys um stay, Like if they're constantly doing it between
Speaker 1: Kershaw and rich Hill and ry you Ross Stripling in
Speaker 1: my eight, I could just kind of be the mainstays.
Speaker 1: That would be awesome. And you would love if Julio
Speaker 1: rus would stay, and I think he will because you know,
Speaker 1: you're always gonna have someone injured in this Dodges rotation. Truthfully,
Speaker 1: they have a seven eight man rotation and there's guys
Speaker 1: coming in out there, a bunch of spots starters that
Speaker 1: get hurt all the time. So I mean they're good,
Speaker 1: most of them. They're very good. But you gotta figure like,
Speaker 1: being a managine the Dodges right now is probably a
Speaker 1: tough job. You gotta figure out how you want to
Speaker 1: manage rotation. He has done it. They just haven't won
Speaker 1: the World Series. Hey, they've been there. They've been there,
Speaker 1: they just haven't gotten come about as close as you can.
Speaker 1: John Gant goes to Endy's in this one. Greggy Jordan Hicks.
Speaker 1: What we really need to see a lighttout performance only
Speaker 1: walks one gets a strike out again against the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: licking up. We needed to see this because he already
Speaker 1: had one blown saved and Miller had had been pretty bad.
Speaker 1: So they meet someone to lock down the back into
Speaker 1: that bullpen, and hopefully it's Jordan Hicks. I have a
Speaker 1: few shares of them, we have them in g d D.
Speaker 1: So we needed to see this because you might be
Speaker 1: out there too, and waivers for some people. Yeah, some people.
Speaker 1: Some people didn't buy into him being the close up
Speaker 1: and they're like Milli Betta, all right, I got him
Speaker 1: in the main event. We got him in g d D. Greg,
Speaker 1: so excited over that you love bikes that much. I'm
Speaker 1: probably closer to that sound that you're making, Greg. Jordan
Speaker 1: Hicks is owned in eight all right, So it's steam leagues.
Speaker 1: The jay Z didn't get the lead, but it's tied
Speaker 1: orgeron one. Well, Thelands two were three. But the big
Speaker 1: news when it comes to pull the young batning fifth
Speaker 1: not third anymore. Oh, why did you do that? You
Speaker 1: know that fifty six he's up to to sixty two.
Speaker 1: Now where I'm looking dot com put Una fourth and
Speaker 1: in the young fifth. I don't betting, but you know
Speaker 1: what they put yesterday because he's more of a contact hitter.
Speaker 1: I guess that they want to get him in there
Speaker 1: betting third, but he's not gonna play real, real quick
Speaker 1: rebuttal about the Jordan Hickston on ESPN fifty percent owned
Speaker 1: and unowned in my home league, home league, Michael given
Speaker 1: the believer, No, I dropped him. I picked up Shane Green.
Speaker 1: Do you have to have sorry? Anthony Minglish is not
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks. I'm so sorry right now. I like the
Speaker 1: ming was his talent better? Yeah? Do you like a hundred?
Speaker 1: Well he's and he's the one closer, one closer, and
Speaker 1: he's a closer. But I wasn't so sold on him
Speaker 1: being the closer at the beginning listening to the show. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean I listen, I listened to the show, but
Speaker 1: Andrew Miller sucked. He has and now that he's getting saves, Yeah,
Speaker 1: pick him up and I'll spend money on him. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: But I'm not dropping. Sorry, the minguis not drop you dropping?
Speaker 1: Are you dropping them and dropping another picture in the
Speaker 1: back end? You know points league, you can drop Dominguis.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you venture I don't want to though. I
Speaker 1: think he's going to be the clothes. I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna I think it a thing for you all week.
Speaker 1: This is the cool this is the cool name theory.
Speaker 1: He's following Sir Anthony's cool name. I swear, I swear
Speaker 1: on anything. It's not that I like, there's something Sir
Speaker 1: Anthony for you, like you see like better three always
Speaker 1: pitching baseball. Is he a fourth cousin or something? Is
Speaker 1: that why you don't want to drop. I want to
Speaker 1: have clothes on my team. I have one. I've Shane Green.
Speaker 1: It's said, let's not do this. Not for jay z
Speaker 1: update speaking of closes the Bridges defeat of the Rockies
Speaker 1: yesterday eight to six Julio Tehran not great, five innings,
Speaker 1: six hits in course field, obviously, but it was e J.
Speaker 1: Mints opening up his first save over the season, the
Speaker 1: phenomenal a J. Mint. There anything here, It was just
Speaker 1: the day off about So I find this really interesting,
Speaker 1: Greg because when I used the bullpen usage tool over
Speaker 1: at Baseball Press, Rody's Viscayano has pitched Saturday and Monday
Speaker 1: pitches on Saturday eleven pitches on Monday, a J Mentor
Speaker 1: has pitched thurs Uh. We pitched Friday, Sunday and Monday
Speaker 1: mixed up. It's it's been, it's been the opposite. It's uh.
Speaker 1: Last night it was a J Mentor and then Sunday
Speaker 1: it was Rodey's Viskanna, So they've been flip flopping. But
Speaker 1: then yesterday it was a It was lefty righty, lefty,
Speaker 1: righty coming up in the bottom of the ninth, and
Speaker 1: they still go with a J. Minter. It's not like
Speaker 1: it was just Lefty's coming up. So are we looking
Speaker 1: at a fifty fifty split here between Mintor and Viscaya?
Speaker 1: Who is who is coming up? Who are the uti
Speaker 1: face nine? Then I'll put it off for you specifically.
Speaker 1: But it was lefty, righty, lefty, righty. I know that, okay,
Speaker 1: I can, I can pull it up to it was okay,
Speaker 1: it was Pat Vilaka who was who's a righty? It
Speaker 1: was righty lefty, and then they bring it Tony Walters
Speaker 1: to pinch it for Wade Davis. He's a lefty. So
Speaker 1: it's weird that the Rockies brought in the left It's
Speaker 1: probably the last and pan Desmond hits a double actually
Speaker 1: right and probably Blackman flies out to end the game.
Speaker 1: So it was righty, pinch hit lefty, righty and then lefty.
Speaker 1: So normally you would think this guy. So that's why
Speaker 1: I find it interesting, is are we looking at a
Speaker 1: split here? I don't know. I don't own any shares
Speaker 1: of the Braves BOWLB. I think for me, I think
Speaker 1: he's still could be. Same for me. I think you're
Speaker 1: still gonna be looking at Craig Kimberall here at some point,
Speaker 1: maybe in June. Everyone's waiting for that the draft pick attached.
Speaker 1: You gotta feel like Craft right now. Yeah, that's why
Speaker 1: I didn't draft him either. In the Points League, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be frustrating to own either one of these Braves relievers,
Speaker 1: because again points leads, you want volume. You want guys
Speaker 1: that are going to always be the closer. Whenever there's
Speaker 1: the same opportunity, they're going to be in there. Those
Speaker 1: are the guys that you want. Points leagues, you want
Speaker 1: people who we're gonna pitch. You just don't know who
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. Regarding the Braves in Rhodo and had
Speaker 1: to add categories leagues, I'm still holding onto both of
Speaker 1: these guys because again, you're one injury away from either
Speaker 1: one of them for the other to become the full
Speaker 1: time closer. So it's frustrating, but it's had categories in Rhodo,
Speaker 1: I'm holding points leagues. It's gonna be frustrating. Funny enough,
Speaker 1: I picked up this guy, you know the other that day.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, yeah, Well there's nothing else out there right now.
Speaker 1: Obviously one league. I got Jordan Hicks out there, But
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think that you don't want to
Speaker 1: own either of them really right now. Like I'm ready
Speaker 1: to drop this guy in the right away. I thought
Speaker 1: he was gonna just be the closer, and that's it.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's gonna be frustrating in the
Speaker 1: Points league. Can I don't ideal. I probably wouldn't want
Speaker 1: to own either. In the Points League. I'd probably pick
Speaker 1: up a clothes oder on like a lesser team like
Speaker 1: Shane Green Shane Green like you did, or Alex column
Speaker 1: A or Greg Holland if those guys were out there.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be frustrating. But rode and head to
Speaker 1: head categories, I can't drop these guys because it's so
Speaker 1: hard to come across saves. Kyle Freeland goes five and
Speaker 1: things alloud. Seven hits, seven runs, walked, four out three
Speaker 1: big thumbs down for Kyle, little homage to Batista who
Speaker 1: wrestled on Sunday. Thumbs down for Kyle Freeland and for
Speaker 1: Juio tan And let's just give these guys four thumbs down.
Speaker 1: As Frank mentioned before, Trevor's story was in the lineup
Speaker 1: yesterday and that he was as he hit a home
Speaker 1: run of the season. It's a hits home run here
Speaker 1: in coors Field, a couple of people trying to get
Speaker 1: on the board. Ronald Lacunia gets on the board with
Speaker 1: two hits, hits, a home run, a walk, rerun scored. So, man,
Speaker 1: if only Ronald Lacunia played in Cortsfield every day, that
Speaker 1: would be awesome. Life would be great. But it is
Speaker 1: just worth mentioning. I told everyone in our one that
Speaker 1: we do now have stat cast data for the twenty
Speaker 1: nine season. They were waiting until there was enough batted
Speaker 1: ball events. But basically, Ronald Lacunia has one of the
Speaker 1: biggest differences between his batting average and expecting bat batting average.
Speaker 1: Two weeks into the season, He's fourth. His difference is
Speaker 1: minus one forty three. He's batting one seventy six. He's
Speaker 1: expected batting average Venture is three nineteen. I believe it.
Speaker 1: I mean you could see it's obviously freaking out. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you people freak out early on if they start
Speaker 1: oh and one or if they're lasting Roado, They're like,
Speaker 1: all right, you know, I gotta make a move, I
Speaker 1: gotta do something. If Ronald Lacuna owner is freaking out,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to pray on that person based on the
Speaker 1: stack cast day that we have. Absolutely, I mean I
Speaker 1: have a Kuna and pit league. I'm not worried at all,
Speaker 1: to be honest. Oh well, I mean you know see
Speaker 1: what you got. I mean I need multiples. You know what. No,
Speaker 1: he feels too many paces. I don't want him. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Team pound the power, Pound the pack power. I took
Speaker 1: took the Don's model for this one pound the power
Speaker 1: the Oakland Athletics. These second modes, get rock or something, yes, quick, quick, yes,
Speaker 1: and Venture smashed a nash really big Brad Miller. He's
Speaker 1: only hit for the season. Two home runs allowed in
Speaker 1: two innings for Jordans. Different. Here we go. This is
Speaker 1: what happens. He's still gonna give me a quality start
Speaker 1: to have faith. J Last night, the Oakland Athletics, the
Speaker 1: second most run score in the American League, felt a
Speaker 1: six and eight as they fell into Baltimore Orioles twelve
Speaker 1: to four for the Oh's Jimmy Yakomonos, which two scoreless
Speaker 1: days a little. He did load the basis at one point,
Speaker 1: but the big story bombs away four boom, boom, boom, boom,
Speaker 1: three man teen, He's on fire. I don't have a
Speaker 1: second verse, but you are not a liar. Boom. Let's go, ma.
Speaker 1: You're three hits, a homer, two ribbies, two walks, five,
Speaker 1: batting average twelves. The launch angle is up this year.
Speaker 1: I mean, Greggy, I mean, how about Jonathan awesome man?
Speaker 1: Two hits here, four ribbies, he adds another homer. Those
Speaker 1: are the two in this lineup. Man, it's Johnny VR
Speaker 1: and Chris Davis still over for over. But you know what,
Speaker 1: they kind of gave up on Cedric Mullins early here.
Speaker 1: They dropped him all the way down to nine. But
Speaker 1: maybe that's what he needed because he hits two triples
Speaker 1: and three ribbies, two trips with two run scored, so
Speaker 1: I think when everything's clicking for this team, it will
Speaker 1: be Mullins once again leading off vr Bank second and
Speaker 1: Boom boom banting third. Honestly, I don't know why teams
Speaker 1: are pitching the boom boom right now because Ronado Nunez
Speaker 1: is batting behind him. I mean, alright, bating two seventies six,
Speaker 1: but whatever, he's Ronado Nunez. Chris Chris Davis Frank mentioned
Speaker 1: the streak broken oh forty nine, and he had a
Speaker 1: couple of good swings too, for he's longer long the street.
Speaker 1: He broke the record the most executive gollos. I felt
Speaker 1: bad foom someone texting me that Nando road an article
Speaker 1: while the wife's trust Christian Godald. The Fantasy Sports Network

Speaker 1: that is his jealousy of Juju Smith Schuster, pure jealousy.
Speaker 1: I didn't liked that Ben was throwing him the football
Speaker 1: as much as he did like his enthusiasm. Sweet Day's
Speaker 1: not Amy starting on F and T s Y Radio
Speaker 1: and on your popular podcast providers. You know, Freggie spent
Speaker 1: the entire braby like George German, come on and events
Speaker 1: you're not are sitting here just like it's George or
Speaker 1: what did you expect you better than this? He's really
Speaker 1: not strike out. The two weddings pitched that counts for something.
Speaker 1: Was just second star against this week. This is the
Speaker 1: one that I really liked. Text at Minnesota, he loved Etnesota.
Speaker 1: I will not love them. That day hit a bomb.
Speaker 1: That's that's a lot to be fair. My opponent in
Speaker 1: the league where I'm starting, Jordan Zimmerman, has Max Freed
Speaker 1: going tonight at Colorado. So in Colorado, hopefully he can
Speaker 1: mitigate whatever Jordan's Immerman gives me the Yeah, I wanted
Speaker 1: to pick up Max for you that. So he was
Speaker 1: in Colorado, Like, Nope, it's in Colorado and against the
Speaker 1: Mets last night in Philadelphia, the Phillies defeated the Gnats
Speaker 1: four to three. Ifnive Alaska as only two strike aus,
Speaker 1: what gives guys? Yeah, the swinging strikes weren't there either.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Greg, I don't know what to make
Speaker 1: of Vince Alaska's. He had so much promise a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. I remember you had like a fourteen
Speaker 1: or fifteen strikeout game, and it's awesome. I guess you
Speaker 1: know the one positive here. Zero walks, that's always been
Speaker 1: a huge and maybe he was trying for the contact
Speaker 1: a little bit more for Vince Alaska's and you know
Speaker 1: he tried to pitch the contact and against the Nationals,
Speaker 1: so oh at all it wasn't bad. Allowed one homer
Speaker 1: um and that was against the Zoo of all people.
Speaker 1: But four hits, zero walks, only two strikeouts. You want
Speaker 1: to see more swinging strikes. He's not worth owning, but
Speaker 1: he's he's a guy that he's a scoutless guy. He's
Speaker 1: this guy I would pay attended to. You know, he's
Speaker 1: right there with Tyson. You don't have none of You're
Speaker 1: locked up your whole scout less, you know. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: he doesn't deserve to be on that um Sniz pitched
Speaker 1: the sixth inning last night, killed it father, I HadAM Morrigan,
Speaker 1: uh and David robertson and getting the shave like a dude,
Speaker 1: Patney Scheck. They never know who you're mocking when you
Speaker 1: do these things. I'll tell you one day, but it
Speaker 1: had to be you, but not today. Okay, Well, Petny
Speaker 1: Schick picks up the save yesterday obviously allows a run
Speaker 1: the submarine pitcher. He's been around, so it's up. But
Speaker 1: that's it. That was the last up two. He's never
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance again because he gave her on
Speaker 1: tell you right now, he's done. I'm not buying the
Speaker 1: pitch back to back datis and maybe that's why he
Speaker 1: wasn't used, you know what. I'm kind of off this
Speaker 1: bullpen userge. So it's all right, I'm on it now.
Speaker 1: Not because it says that it says that Hector Naris
Speaker 1: pitched yesterday, it's not. It's not sached Sunday. I think
Speaker 1: you're just reading it. I gotta refresh. No, yes, no,
Speaker 1: I just refreshed it and it changed because it had
Speaker 1: Hector Narra's pitching yesterday. Now I see that it doesn't.
Speaker 1: It's seventeen on Sunday, nine on Friday. Probably pitched Friday
Speaker 1: and Saturday had Sunday off. But yeah, look, your guess
Speaker 1: is as good as mine regarding the Phillies bullpen, right,
Speaker 1: But do Mingas pitches the sixth and then David Robertsons
Speaker 1: it pitches the eight So why are you owning those
Speaker 1: guys in the Points I'll still hold them in a
Speaker 1: road a league because I guess there's a chance they
Speaker 1: can still get saves, so I'm not dropping him there.
Speaker 1: But in a points league venture, why am I holding him?
Speaker 1: The Minga isn't and Robertson have been used a set
Speaker 1: of guys, man, I'm not. I'm not going out and
Speaker 1: picking up Meshack and Nerris in the Points league either,
Speaker 1: But I know you know I have Jordan's Hickston. The
Speaker 1: opposite of me thinks short term. I think long term.
Speaker 1: I'm holding the Mingus for the long term. There's nobody
Speaker 1: good enough for me to pick up anywhere. I got
Speaker 1: to do it. Yes, you do. This is the I
Speaker 1: guess of when I picked up Jordan's inman. This is
Speaker 1: something you have to do. This is something I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have done. Totally. You guys should have talked me out
Speaker 1: of it. We tried, Yeah, we tried. I tried to
Speaker 1: buy in man on his fastball. Last. Reese Hosk is
Speaker 1: in this one. Two homers, this fourth and fifth of
Speaker 1: the year. Haskin is out there. Really nice start hitting
Speaker 1: behind Bryce Harper. It's a really good sponsive men. As
Speaker 1: a feelers just need to dominate and proved you seven
Speaker 1: and two, the Nash shops of four and five, Edible
Speaker 1: Sanchez five and the third seven hits, three runs, strike
Speaker 1: out six. Though kingar Ring in the lineup got start,
Speaker 1: I'm interested, greg I mentioned, are you yeah, he's not
Speaker 1: gonna play, though I know I'm gonna watch watchless scouts, job,
Speaker 1: scoutless ventures, scoutless. Greg I mentioned the biggest difference in
Speaker 1: batting average and expected batting average rife. Hoskins is on
Speaker 1: the opposite end of that actually, so he has a
Speaker 1: three sixty seven batting average. He expected batting averages to
Speaker 1: seventy four, So his different his difference in batting average
Speaker 1: to expect it is actually the tenth most in baseball
Speaker 1: to start the season. Look, we never drafted Reese Hoskins
Speaker 1: to hit for batting average. Anyway, if it turns out
Speaker 1: he can hit two seventy five, I think fantasy owners
Speaker 1: would love that, and I think they would take that.
Speaker 1: So obviously he's not gonna keep up at three sixties seven,
Speaker 1: but it's worth mentioning that he's off to a hot
Speaker 1: start um and he's doing what he does. He's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be in at two seventy range, and he had
Speaker 1: thirty five homers this year. RBIs are gonna be there
Speaker 1: obviously in the Phillies lineup two. So yeah, obviously lots
Speaker 1: of like there with if he stays healthy, he's he's
Speaker 1: going to drive in over a hundred easy. Easy. Annibal
Speaker 1: Sanchez was not good last night. Greg three earned runs
Speaker 1: in five and two thirds. But I don't think he
Speaker 1: was terrible either. He had six strikeouts and he had
Speaker 1: twelve swinging strikes. He took seven different pitches yesterday. According
Speaker 1: to Baseball Savants, I dropped Annibale Sanchez and twelve team
Speaker 1: leagues in fifteen teamers. I don't I don't know if
Speaker 1: I would drop him yet, because six strikeouts against this
Speaker 1: Phillies lineup as many swinging strikes as he had. I'm
Speaker 1: a little intrigue. Twelve team, twelve team leagues, I'm probably
Speaker 1: dropping him, but anything deeper than that, I'd probably hold
Speaker 1: onto him for now. The Brewer crew were in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles take on the Angels. Could Mike shout Homer again?
Speaker 1: He couldn't. The Angels still won this one, five to
Speaker 1: two because the Angels was Trevork k Hill, who went
Speaker 1: six and things five hits, two runs, he walked when
Speaker 1: he struck out eight. A very nice start by Trevork
Speaker 1: K Hill. I hate this right now. Why is that
Speaker 1: I'm playing a kid who picked up k Hill for
Speaker 1: two starts this week? That you know that does so
Speaker 1: annoying because you would expect him to get why is
Speaker 1: he starting that guy? Like? Why is he picking up
Speaker 1: Trevior Hale? Just get crazy when it comes to uh,
Speaker 1: the two star pitchers, he'll just they'll just pick up anybody.
Speaker 1: But when they're right it, it hurts even more because like,
Speaker 1: why are you picking him up? How did you see
Speaker 1: that coming? No way you saw that coming. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: Trevor K. Hill. He's frustrating to own me, and I
Speaker 1: owned him last year too, because this is what he does.
Speaker 1: He's gonna go out and have a really good start
Speaker 1: against the Brewers. You think you could trust him, and
Speaker 1: then when he has an actual good matchup, he's gonna
Speaker 1: let you down. He throws his curveball so much that
Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard for him to locate where the curveball
Speaker 1: is gonna go. Obviously it has a huge twelve to
Speaker 1: six break. So in those starts where he can't locate
Speaker 1: the curveball and he's not getting people to swing and miss,
Speaker 1: they're laying off and he's walking a bunch of guys
Speaker 1: and then he's not going deep into the game. So
Speaker 1: Trevor K. Hill, this is who he is. He has
Speaker 1: the upside where he can give you a strikeout for enning,
Speaker 1: sometimes even more strikeouts yesterday six innings. I can see
Speaker 1: a good Brewers team. But then he's also gonna let
Speaker 1: you down in some starts. He's kind of a volatile
Speaker 1: starting pitcher, you know what. I also think this is
Speaker 1: a product. Yes he is. He's been around for a
Speaker 1: long time, a guy who was a top prospect years ago,
Speaker 1: for Oakland. Um, how many guys came through those guys?
Speaker 1: Dan harn too. Yeah, Dan Harrod was great for a while. Um,
Speaker 1: but this guy is supposed to be great, never really
Speaker 1: panned out, Still lingering in the league and always injury prone,
Speaker 1: highly injury prone. He'll probably get injured at some point
Speaker 1: this season. Um. And but you know it's interesting, No,
Speaker 1: why I think he did well here playing a National
Speaker 1: League team that doesn't know him, hasn't seen him. That's
Speaker 1: the reason why he show well, I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: right now, because he's never he's not gonna do things
Speaker 1: like this very often. This is it's not like he's
Speaker 1: been in the alsire life. I mean, he's been around
Speaker 1: the block. Was he in the always on San Diego
Speaker 1: at one point? Right Sego? Uh no, that was two
Speaker 1: years ago, last last year? Okay, yeah, so two years ago.
Speaker 1: He was with the with the Padress Brewers before. But
Speaker 1: in two years, you know, mostly when he's been pitching
Speaker 1: the past couple of seas like last year, ten innings,
Speaker 1: and he's always hurt. But at three seven, six year like,
Speaker 1: that's fine, that's that's worthy of your the back end
Speaker 1: of your your fantasy rotation. One point one nine whip.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't touch him like that. He's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 1: have a few starts where he like him more than
Speaker 1: like j that I would agree with. But he's better
Speaker 1: in Rhodo than he is head to head leaks because
Speaker 1: the consistency just isn't gonna be there, and it's like,
Speaker 1: all right at the end of the season if he
Speaker 1: if he pitches a D twenty endings gives me a
Speaker 1: sub three eight e r A and at one point
Speaker 1: to wit strike out for ending. You're happy with that,
Speaker 1: You're really happy. That's that's quality, greater sign quantity. Greg
Speaker 1: Is Cody Allen picked up his second saving a nice
Speaker 1: clean ninth inning. Yeah, indeed, uh, you at least chain
Speaker 1: too terribly quality starts six and three runs, three hits,
Speaker 1: three just one K is what hurts. From a fantasy perspective,
Speaker 1: Christian Yellows got robbed of a home run by my trail.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, the one thing better than hitting
Speaker 1: a home run, Greggy is robbing a home run. Maybe maybe.
Speaker 1: From real life baseball perspective, fantasy Grand Slam is the
Speaker 1: only thing that helps nobody in fantasy. I honestly you know,
Speaker 1: it takes away a home run from It's cool to
Speaker 1: see because it's like m v P against MVP kind
Speaker 1: of thing. But you know what ye said, rob my homework, Greg,
Speaker 1: you will not from me out in the base pass
Speaker 1: at the stolen base is second of the season. Yes,
Speaker 1: has just been awesome, believable out there. I mean, dude,
Speaker 1: come on, what more has he gotta do? MVP absolutely
Speaker 1: doing this thing right now yesterday. It's good to see
Speaker 1: because he's kind of been in the outside of hitting
Speaker 1: home runs, he hasn't done money. I think steak a
Speaker 1: players struggling. He's just has been freaking awful. He's another
Speaker 1: one of these Bilow guys. Greg. He's so he's very
Speaker 1: high up on the list between his batting average and
Speaker 1: his current expected batting average, so his difference is fifth
Speaker 1: highest in baseball, behind Ronald, just behind Ronaldacunia. He's hitting
Speaker 1: expected batting average to which if that's more that he
Speaker 1: was getting you, that's more what you're expecting out of Hare.
Speaker 1: So I think it's a good great blog, which is
Speaker 1: his woe button, his expected wo but two is expecting.
Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting. The Bruce at eight and three,
Speaker 1: he talks about how great Christian yellowg is with the
Speaker 1: middle of the order. For Bruce has been so bad.
Speaker 1: Drvis Shaw wants anyone he's one nine, Mike one ninety
Speaker 1: four because he's the same three guys. It worries me
Speaker 1: for Agil or two because they have Eric Thames, who
Speaker 1: not doing much himself, haven't been much, but he's hit
Speaker 1: a few home runs so far to start the year.
Speaker 1: Greg and that was one of the reasons I didn't
Speaker 1: love Aguilar coming in if you remember, yeah, I do
Speaker 1: remember that, but because because his man up mentality and
Speaker 1: they have guys behind and it happened last year we
Speaker 1: saw Thames didn't hit. You took a spot watching the
Speaker 1: reverse having this year. But he's he's been unlucky to
Speaker 1: start the year though. The reason why they're doing so
Speaker 1: these are the three. They're the same guys, These three
Speaker 1: guys power guys that hit two fifty and strike out
Speaker 1: a lot. They're all the same. You're right, that's it's
Speaker 1: like the Matter's guys. The Matter guys are hitting right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly the different right now. Um think about that. Like
Speaker 1: the Brewers lineup has still been pretty good even with
Speaker 1: everyone outside of yellows. That's what they're they're deep. How
Speaker 1: about this, Greg, So I'm looking at the bat ball
Speaker 1: profile for Hayes Tagler. Now on the season, you say
Speaker 1: all he does is strike out a lot, right? Are
Speaker 1: all the same guy? How about this agil strikeout rate
Speaker 1: to start the season seventeen point nine percent. That's way down.
Speaker 1: He's actually making a ton of contact. Last year had
Speaker 1: a percent strikeout rate. Is hard hit rate this season
Speaker 1: already five point eight percent. Uh. The fly ball rate
Speaker 1: line drives twenty five and his bad bit is one
Speaker 1: sixty seven. This is a prime by low candidate right now.
Speaker 1: Greg is a big big both in terms of what
Speaker 1: we expect and because he's he's just a bigger dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the big guy. Yesterday afternoon, we're getting quick ending here
Speaker 1: from jay Z Gregg. Are we little quickie already? It's great?
Speaker 1: Yesterday afternoon there were two games and went in on
Speaker 1: our one of up Pittsburgh and Chicago. Is certainly from
Speaker 1: the pitching perspective. Hitting wise, obviously put a ton of
Speaker 1: runs in College. Over hit his third home run of
Speaker 1: the season. Uh in the other game. Though I didn't
Speaker 1: want to mention this, I mentioned Blake Snell how great
Speaker 1: he was in the raised five one victory of those
Speaker 1: sixty in things, eleven strikeouts. We were We watched all
Speaker 1: of us, three of us Carlos Rodan yesterday, we just
Speaker 1: didn't have it. Man four and two thirds. It hits
Speaker 1: four runs, he walked five, but he strike out nine.
Speaker 1: I could not believe he lasted long enough nine with
Speaker 1: a hundred and eleven pitches. I tweeted about his day
Speaker 1: after the fourth because I thought he was done, and
Speaker 1: then they bring him back out for the fifth. He walks,
Speaker 1: another guy, strikes out another guy. It's basically what it
Speaker 1: was yesterday. For Rodan. It was walker strikeout, had five
Speaker 1: walks and three of those came in four of those
Speaker 1: came in the in the first inning, I think three.
Speaker 1: And this is part of what's been his issue as
Speaker 1: long as he's been in the majors. I liked when
Speaker 1: I saw the first two starts Greg and I mentioned
Speaker 1: this because he wasn't walking. Anybody believe he only had
Speaker 1: two walks entering yesterday. Well, in all unravels, we get
Speaker 1: back to the Carlo Shordan, where you used to five walks,
Speaker 1: nine strikeouts. He didn't have twenties swinging strikes, but those
Speaker 1: basically just came on his fastball and his slider. So
Speaker 1: you know he and I mentioned this last week when
Speaker 1: I saw think about him, was that he's only been
Speaker 1: throwing two pitches. Do you have any shares of Rodan?
Speaker 1: What do you think? I do? I have a share
Speaker 1: of Rodan? Um, to me, you're not gonna like this.
Speaker 1: Rodan is like a Eduardo Rodriguez to me, a little better,
Speaker 1: a little better than that's the case, going walks a
Speaker 1: lot of guys and shaky at times, getting many as Rodan.
Speaker 1: Rodan has had some pretty bad control, but he has
Speaker 1: also been hurt a lot, both of them, really, and
Speaker 1: I feel like he's never really gets into a groove
Speaker 1: Rodan in his in any season really, so I'd like
Speaker 1: to see what happens when he does. It's actually not
Speaker 1: a bad comp Edwardo does strike out a lot of guys,
Speaker 1: like He's consistently been over three walks per nine for
Speaker 1: his career, but the strikeouts have been better than Rodan.
Speaker 1: Last year he was at ten case per nine. Rodan
Speaker 1: has never been at that point, so it looked like
Speaker 1: Eduardo was getting better. You look at the strikeout numbers
Speaker 1: they were getting better every single season. That's why a
Speaker 1: lot of people were on him, uh and not so
Speaker 1: much on Rodan because Rodan was terrible last year. It
Speaker 1: was coming off injury. He's an injury case. So they're
Speaker 1: they're actually not that dissimilar. But I still think Edwardo
Speaker 1: Rodriguez has more upside. Yeah, yes, well no, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I I like road on a lot. It starts Gregg
Speaker 1: and you're out on Edwardo Rodrigue. You've always been out
Speaker 1: on Aville has been out. That's what I'm saying. It
Speaker 1: wasn't two starts, all right. So if you look at
Speaker 1: his eighteen, Greg lowers his e r A each year
Speaker 1: and opps his k rate each year, so he's getting
Speaker 1: better each year. I get it. I just love the
Speaker 1: super high guys. This is why he drafted draft drifted
Speaker 1: him because it was the pit league and you were
Speaker 1: drafting all of me and Frank's guys. This is why
Speaker 1: you did it to use it in trade. Parlay worked.
Speaker 1: Then I think you did a great job with out
Speaker 1: of last week. There you go. You gotta win. But
Speaker 1: he wasn't great. He still wasn't good. He wasn't great,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't good. I'll win. Yeah, he wasn't. That
Speaker 1: is a factual statement. You gotta win to manage. Is
Speaker 1: still the second base of the year for you, Chris,
Speaker 1: Yeah to me Anderson and also hitting some homes three
Speaker 1: today against right handed fifth today on a second yesterday?
Speaker 1: How many homes did you have? Three? Right now? So
Speaker 1: it is I think I don't own to man anywhere.
Speaker 1: I think he's got to he's he's betting five seventeen
Speaker 1: when the esp has different averages expected. I've seen at
Speaker 1: four eight, So I don't know baseball Savan hasn't bet five,
Speaker 1: he's seventeen. Since yesterday he's been usually includes it whatever,
Speaker 1: because I'm looking at you know, yes, hasn't five seventeen.
Speaker 1: Timmy's killing it. Hasn't walked yet. He doesn't walk. He hasn't.
Speaker 1: He won't walk. He doesn't. He also he's not striking
Speaker 1: out either. He's getting five percent strikeout right, I'm telling
Speaker 1: you he's going this guy last year it again, well
Speaker 1: maybe better twenty five. He doesn't one walk on the season. Actually,
Speaker 1: so I was o b P and his average exactly
Speaker 1: the same on ESPN unless he didn't get yesterday's walking
Speaker 1: five seventeen average five thirty three o BP hit by pitch,
Speaker 1: his fans killing HPP. That's why maybe HPP. Uh he
Speaker 1: does not have a hit by pitch this season yet.
Speaker 1: ESPN's Killiman today, dot COM's box score NS. I think
Speaker 1: you need to change that. All right, we have one
Speaker 1: last update here on Jordan zimmer before you wrap up
Speaker 1: Jordan Zimmerman. The last that I'm seeing is it's still
Speaker 1: three to one. So look, as long as he goes
Speaker 1: dings and doesn't give up more runs while I'm starting,
Speaker 1: you know, I will take that as a win. Sure,
Speaker 1: all right, let's see what he's got. Uh, three innings,
Speaker 1: He's got three hits, three runs, one four strike guns.
Speaker 1: Stop trying to sell yourself. I want to thank Sean
Speaker 1: Bryan and Martino downstairs. I want to thank Chris Vencher.
Speaker 1: I want to thank Frank Stavill. I don't want to
Speaker 1: thank something. I don't want to Thanks so much for watching,
Speaker 1: listening to the Fantasy best Friends Forever. We'll do it
Speaker 1: all in tomorrow
