Speaker 1: Fantasy best Friends Forever, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Great job,
Speaker 1: great spot by Michael Florio, who we hope to have
Speaker 1: on each and every Friday with us. For the first hour,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a great great out by Florida
Speaker 1: breaking it down, helping us out what we learned from
Speaker 1: day number one. Now to give us waiver wire claims
Speaker 1: and break down the rest of the games with Frank
Speaker 1: and myself. It's the closer. Chris Metscher, what's up? Chris?
Speaker 1: What's up? Guys? What's up? What's up? It's your boy?
Speaker 1: Like that much better? How about Rockies? Had on as
Speaker 1: you like them? You know? What is a terrible feeling, Greg,
Speaker 1: looking down at your score in your home leagues in
Speaker 1: the first day and you're getting crushed. Specifically, the reason
Speaker 1: why you're getting crushed is you faced Eric Loer, I
Speaker 1: Freeland and Brad Keller. Yeah, I mean, does it get
Speaker 1: worse than that? Really? Well, it's had toy own in
Speaker 1: my lineup. I went through Freeling into the mix with
Speaker 1: Lour and Keller. Though he's better than those guys, sure,
Speaker 1: but but it's still I know, like those three starting
Speaker 1: pictures of the ones that crushed me on opening Day,
Speaker 1: I didn't. They're all good matchups. Like, I can't talk
Speaker 1: the guy for starting him, for sure, it makes sense.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't start Lour or Keller, though I wouldn't against
Speaker 1: the Giants. I would start you against the Kians if
Speaker 1: you were pitching against well in my voice, thoughting tonight
Speaker 1: against in the pit league. By the way, I faced scherzer,
Speaker 1: Stroman bum Garner and Loaur from who Steve Sam say
Speaker 1: he was showing me his pitching in the middle of days.
Speaker 1: I'm crushing, Greg, what do you what do you think
Speaker 1: of this pitching? You got four quality starts on opening day?
Speaker 1: He did? It was awesome four starts. But like our pitching,
Speaker 1: like my ear a is only point six, Lesson is
Speaker 1: one point three, two to one point two. Who do
Speaker 1: you have go? I had Verlander and Tanaka in this league.
Speaker 1: Cry and he got and he got and he was great.
Speaker 1: Yesterday he was Yeah, he was awesome. My hitting is
Speaker 1: also great. Three sixty four and a good day yesterday
Speaker 1: in the pit league. And we hope to obviously continue
Speaker 1: on tonight. Is no baseball, Frank, today, as you very
Speaker 1: well know, no day baseball. Second day of the baseball
Speaker 1: seat great, embarrassing. Let's continue on with stuff that we
Speaker 1: learned from yesterday, and let's go to Philadelphia where Bryce
Speaker 1: Harper's for his day worked out well for the Phillies.
Speaker 1: I mean necessarily so much for Bryce, but really really
Speaker 1: great for the Phillies, a ten four victory over ye
Speaker 1: boy Julio tehrans Heron allowed three runs in five innings,
Speaker 1: four hits, seven strikeouts, Aaron Nola Nolan an interesting day, guys.
Speaker 1: I'll start with you, Frank, six innings, two hits, one run,
Speaker 1: eight case and I told you that it's a great day.
Speaker 1: Love it. Walk five walks on the day for Aaron Nola.
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? Yeah, I think that's
Speaker 1: a little shaking off the rust here. For Aaron Nola,
Speaker 1: not really worried about it, kind of uh, in the
Speaker 1: same camp as Blakes now. I still think he'll be
Speaker 1: really good. But yeah, for Aaronola, yesterday still had twelve
Speaker 1: swinging strikes through pitches through that curveball a bunch, which
Speaker 1: is what we're you know, used to seeing from him.
Speaker 1: A velocity seems uh, you know on par he was
Speaker 1: maxing out at ninety with the fastball yesterday. So I'm
Speaker 1: not really worried about Aaronola. I mean, it's something to
Speaker 1: pay attended to if he he's walking guys like at
Speaker 1: this race for the next couple of starts and he
Speaker 1: starts to wonder, all right, what's going on here? We there? No,
Speaker 1: this isn't man that we're used to seeing from him.
Speaker 1: But it's only one start. He still ended up pitching
Speaker 1: pretty well overall anyway, so see what happens. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna overreact one way or the other, but I think
Speaker 1: it's it is worth mentioning for sure. Five walks. It's
Speaker 1: not the normal friend. David robertson Chris pitches is the
Speaker 1: eighth inning of this game. At the time, they were
Speaker 1: homes at the Yeah, the time they were up right, Frank,
Speaker 1: do I have that right? You have the box score
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, they were already had ten runs scored
Speaker 1: through seven, so it was ten free at the time.
Speaker 1: They bring in Robertson in the eighth inning. Eight ten
Speaker 1: three ball games or anything to learn there, Chris roberts
Speaker 1: uh nine, it's ten three games? Yeah, right, So I
Speaker 1: think that's just you know, just getting him some usage. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything too much anything to think.
Speaker 1: It's the eighth maybe Sir Anthony Domingez is the guy
Speaker 1: for the ninth potentially, is that something we need to know?
Speaker 1: I think it's impossible to know after one game. Again,
Speaker 1: it's worth bringing up. Look, he comes in in the
Speaker 1: eighth ending. It's not if it were like Willie pe
Speaker 1: Alta or Chapman, where they bring him in the ninth.
Speaker 1: You're looking at it like, Okay, maybe there's a situation
Speaker 1: again where they're trying to ease a closer in so
Speaker 1: they bring Robertson in the ninth. But they do bring
Speaker 1: him in the eighth, So again it's definitely worth mentioning,
Speaker 1: let's see what happens. Maybe it's Sir Anthony Dominguez tomorrow
Speaker 1: night in the eighth night. So it's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1: be fluid all year long with the Philadelphia Phillies. And
Speaker 1: we knew that. I mean, they don't have a set closer.
Speaker 1: We know Gabe Kapler is gonna play around with the matchups.
Speaker 1: And it reminds me a lot of the Twins. Greg.
Speaker 1: If they have lefties coming up to they bring in
Speaker 1: a lefty reliever to try and close out the game,
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me either. That'd be crazy. Yeah, that'd be
Speaker 1: a little while. I mean, that's what the Phillies did
Speaker 1: all your last year. You know is who Gabe Kapitler is.
Speaker 1: He gonna play the matchups. He's a huge analytics guy
Speaker 1: and huge in the sense of he's jack too from
Speaker 1: a hitting perspect and Edine mc cutcheon led off the
Speaker 1: game with a home run that was great for Art
Speaker 1: Team Frank um a Cutcheon you had Michael Frankie also
Speaker 1: great for Art Team Frank had a three run bombs
Speaker 1: that was and then Reese Hoskins goes yard on a
Speaker 1: grand slam. Their intentional walk to Bryce Harper. Harper in
Speaker 1: his Phillies debut winds up going over three. We did
Speaker 1: have that walk and the run scored. Do you want
Speaker 1: to note for Atlanta, Ronald Kuna was batting clean up
Speaker 1: and still stole a base. Those that were concerned about that.
Speaker 1: Good to see Cunia still running out of the cleanup hole. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: And look these Phillies, the two new guys McCutcheon and
Speaker 1: Segura getting it done, already paying off the most really
Speaker 1: do much. I think it's worth mentioning Julio Toronto. I
Speaker 1: found this tweet last night from bat Flip Crazy on
Speaker 1: Twitter and tweets out some great stuff. Julio tron average
Speaker 1: three miles per hour on his four seam fastball. He
Speaker 1: averaged ninety miles per hour all of last year. So
Speaker 1: again what we've been talking about all day is normally
Speaker 1: early on in the season a picture is below their
Speaker 1: velocity from last year, and then they slowly rammed themselves up.
Speaker 1: Leo tront was already one mile per hour above where
Speaker 1: his average fastball velocity was last season, so it could
Speaker 1: potentially get better. He was actually, he was really good
Speaker 1: in the spring. He was really good early on in
Speaker 1: this game, and then you ran into some trouble here.
Speaker 1: He also had fourteen swinging strikes, um, and he threw
Speaker 1: his slider a bunch yesterday. You know, nine swinging strikes,
Speaker 1: you know, thirty seven sliders that he threw. So Juyo
Speaker 1: Tehran interesting. It hasn't been great the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: But another one kind of similar to Marcus Stroman has
Speaker 1: my attention. I want to see if this is something
Speaker 1: that becomes a trend with joy both yeah, both those guys. Stroman.
Speaker 1: You know, this is what I wanted to see from
Speaker 1: throw because I know he's got the potential to be
Speaker 1: a very good picture, and he showed you know, glimpses
Speaker 1: of that yesterday. He picked a really good game. So
Speaker 1: I'm definitely interested in Stroman, especially for dfest purposes. He's
Speaker 1: still gonna be cheap for a while until you know,
Speaker 1: he really gets it going. And uh, those four I
Speaker 1: like Stroman a little better. I think I do a
Speaker 1: little bit at this point. Although the Ana last verse,
Speaker 1: the n least theoretically would be a little bit different.
Speaker 1: Speaking the nie, let's stay here and let's get into
Speaker 1: nats and mats and the game script went exactly how
Speaker 1: you'd expected to go. A fantastic game from Scherzer seven
Speaker 1: and two thirds, two hits, two runs, three walk, strikes
Speaker 1: out twelve nine pitches. On opening day, You're like, all right,
Speaker 1: Shots is ready and Jacob Degram six innings, five hits,
Speaker 1: a walk, struck out, town allowed, no runs. Shots are
Speaker 1: basically gave up that leadoff home run to Robinson Canoe
Speaker 1: lead off home run, but first any home run to
Speaker 1: Robinson Canoe, and you thought and throughout the game that
Speaker 1: was all de Gram had to work with. He's used
Speaker 1: to having zero run support, gets the one run and
Speaker 1: keeps the Nationals off the board, and the game script
Speaker 1: when exactly how you wanted it to go. If your
Speaker 1: met fan Lego and the seventh Familiar in the eighth
Speaker 1: Edwin Diz and the ninth absolutely perfect, perfect game script
Speaker 1: for the New York Mets. When I'm taking out of
Speaker 1: this other than the amazing picture performances by two of
Speaker 1: the best pictures in the game, it's gotta be trachat Turner. Guys,
Speaker 1: who's still not one not to three stolen bases off
Speaker 1: of Jacob Degram and Wilson Rolos yesterday, No Syndergard will
Speaker 1: be on the mount tomorrow and train turns to go nuts.
Speaker 1: He may have atten stilemakes before the weekends of work. Seriously,
Speaker 1: and you know, you see one stolen base pop up.
Speaker 1: I get, actually get notifications from Twitter, Gregor anytime a
Speaker 1: player hits a home run or stolen base. So I
Speaker 1: get these notifications. She want stolen base from Trade Turner.
Speaker 1: I see a second stole on base from Trade Turner,
Speaker 1: and then oh wait, it's more. And then a third
Speaker 1: stolen base opening day here for Trade Turner. And you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of likened it too when Ron Rivera said
Speaker 1: that Christian McCaffrey two completely different sports here, but I
Speaker 1: think they are parallels. When Ron Rivera said Christian McCaffrey
Speaker 1: was gonna touch the ball to thirty times in preseason football,
Speaker 1: we laughed. He scoffed at it. There's no way. Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is not big enough. It's not gonna be a workhorse.
Speaker 1: And I see football, well he was. And you know,
Speaker 1: we saw the report from Turner in the Nationals camp
Speaker 1: that he could potentially attempt seventy to eighty stolen bases.
Speaker 1: Starts moving up the board, moving up the board, a
Speaker 1: lot of people started buying in. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I bought in because I didn't end up with any
Speaker 1: shares of Trade Turner, but maybe this is something we
Speaker 1: look at the end the season, and he does end
Speaker 1: up attempting seventy five to eighty stone bases, and you know,
Speaker 1: he's had a very good stolen based conversion rate in
Speaker 1: his career, so if he attempts seventy five to eight,
Speaker 1: he's gonna end up with sixty polt stolen bases this year. Yep.
Speaker 1: And that's part of the reason why you know, I
Speaker 1: saw him go third overall in some drafts because you're
Speaker 1: playing in Rodo, you're playing for an overall to get
Speaker 1: sixty stolen bases, and he's not deficient in power. You
Speaker 1: know he'll give you eighteen to twenty homes and obviously
Speaker 1: gonna score a lot of runs in this lineup. It's
Speaker 1: hard not to be excited after just one game from
Speaker 1: Trade Turner, especially if you're listening and keep his leagues right.
Speaker 1: You got the stolen base, which is top of the
Speaker 1: top of the line. You're not getting better at the
Speaker 1: stone base categories, right, and the power. I think he's
Speaker 1: still young. I mean, how old is twenty three four? Maybe?
Speaker 1: So the power could still develop, right, so the power
Speaker 1: could still develop into a homer guy. I guess to
Speaker 1: see that coming. But the team last year, okay, right,
Speaker 1: so you know, and he's still young in his career.
Speaker 1: I think this is a guy that busy league you
Speaker 1: know you should target if I mean this year, if
Speaker 1: you if you got jumped on him, I think there's
Speaker 1: a great job because honestly, this is a guy you
Speaker 1: keep for years. He's a cornerstone player. Uh and you know,
Speaker 1: also gonna hit the average, so he's gonna get it
Speaker 1: done in every possible way for you. This guy possibly,
Speaker 1: So I think listen, I jumped on him in a
Speaker 1: lot of leagues. I have him a couple of places,
Speaker 1: So I think there's you can't miss with this guy
Speaker 1: right now, right, I think it's worth mentioning. Going back
Speaker 1: to that Phillies game real quick. We got a few
Speaker 1: comments in the chat from a digital me on YouTube
Speaker 1: and said Phillies were only up three in the seventh
Speaker 1: when d Rob started warming up and then Reese Hoskins
Speaker 1: hit the Grand Slam. That's fine. That goes even further
Speaker 1: into what you were saying if they were only up
Speaker 1: three and they were warming him up in the seventh,
Speaker 1: he's a setup guy, correct Sir, Anthony Domingiez could be
Speaker 1: the guy for that would be great. That's a question
Speaker 1: I have to ask though, Like, okay, so I'm a
Speaker 1: serr Anthony domingions own show. A lot of people all like,
Speaker 1: what do you do? Like a week one, I didn't
Speaker 1: plug him in because I didn't know if he had
Speaker 1: the opportunity, of course, right, and it's a long week too,
Speaker 1: so um, but like let's say, moving forward, we see
Speaker 1: him get a couple of saves out of reopportunities and
Speaker 1: Robertson gets one. What do you do? You can't let
Speaker 1: You'll let this play out of the next week, right,
Speaker 1: Like as Frank said, I think you'll leave him in
Speaker 1: the line up no matter what. But you're talking about
Speaker 1: a points league, right, yeah, like a weekly So so
Speaker 1: I think we love the situation play out. It's day one,
Speaker 1: don't even he hasn't even pitched yet, So I think
Speaker 1: we let it play out. But right now I'm thinking
Speaker 1: good things here say definitely positive to see that really
Speaker 1: good things we talked about one new year team. It's
Speaker 1: getting the other New York team, it's New York Yankees.
Speaker 1: Of course Yankees Mets are playing while we were on
Speaker 1: the area. Yesterday, the Yankees defeated the Orioles seven and two.
Speaker 1: Just misses out of the quality stary because bred Gardner
Speaker 1: played the ball terribly five and third, six hits, one
Speaker 1: turned run, struck out of five, didn't walk anybody's the
Speaker 1: first opening name to win of Tanaka's career, Andrew Kashner,
Speaker 1: was particularly terrible. Four winning six runs were walks, three strike.
Speaker 1: Has struck out Greg Bird three times, I believe, and
Speaker 1: then he had a bomb. He struk out Bird two times. Um,
Speaker 1: and then he later hit a bomb, struck out one
Speaker 1: more time. UM. You got a glimpse of how the
Speaker 1: Yankees are gonna roll with their bullpen, with Adama being
Speaker 1: been to the fireman pitching like the sixth seventh row
Speaker 1: with patans Is out obviously, Zave Britain pitches the eighth
Speaker 1: or all this, Chapman pitches the ninth. The Briton's velocity
Speaker 1: was down once again, and it was early. Didn't love
Speaker 1: that walk the platter out of the hit, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: he was struggling a little bit, got out of it
Speaker 1: on a dive by Labor Torres. Chapman's velocities. Chapleman's velocity
Speaker 1: has been down all spring and that continued yesterday as
Speaker 1: wellies on velocity as much as he does too. You
Speaker 1: said it's turtle, you said, this is when you're gonna
Speaker 1: see the v low down. Absolutely, but it's down even
Speaker 1: more than it was last March April. So that's average.
Speaker 1: His max was his Men festival was. Yeah. A little
Speaker 1: worries about Chapman out of Vino, those that have the
Speaker 1: out of Vino shares. He was filthy yesterday. Maybe the
Speaker 1: guy you want to own there you might have the
Speaker 1: best slider in baseball probably does. I think in terms
Speaker 1: of just stuff in the bullpen, he's definitely like right
Speaker 1: behind Chapman. I mean, maybe even pushing Chapman now at
Speaker 1: this point. But I think if anything were to happen,
Speaker 1: they probably would give it to Britain just because he
Speaker 1: has closing experience, not that I agree with that. What
Speaker 1: does in terms of procure stuff Adam out of I mean,
Speaker 1: he's he's right on earlist. Chapman's tale. Absolutely, he was
Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic yesterday. Now for the Yankees in the lineup,
Speaker 1: Gean Carlos Stanton and Aaron Judge do exactly you asked
Speaker 1: them to do. Get on base a lot. They each
Speaker 1: walked twice. Aaron Judge also had a couple of hits.
Speaker 1: Are those two walks which I said, which to me
Speaker 1: says quite a bit like they being very very patient here.
Speaker 1: Yankees are traditionally painting. But the patient the fact that
Speaker 1: Judge Stanton avoid all walked twice in the middle of
Speaker 1: the order clearly making it very very tough on their opponent.
Speaker 1: Judge had the big blast, a three run bomb in
Speaker 1: the first inning. Greg Bird also homeward for this team.
Speaker 1: If they're striking out three times, the boom birds were
Speaker 1: out for Greg Bird in this way, I think he
Speaker 1: did it against the lefty two right, Greg, That's what
Speaker 1: he needs get to see, was a lefty in order
Speaker 1: to hit a home run off the off the lefty
Speaker 1: Paul Fry. That's correct. Against Andrew Cashman, you strike out
Speaker 1: three times and then you see a left in the
Speaker 1: swing was just too long. Um, Every Yankee had a
Speaker 1: hit in this lineup outside of Brett Gardner. For the
Speaker 1: Orioles you mentioned, if Frank Johnny VR batted third in
Speaker 1: this order to for four while trained Mancini Boom boom
Speaker 1: batty clean up, he went three for four. Those are
Speaker 1: the two big guys in the Orioles line up. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Shout out to our buddy Nick Pollock at Picture List.
Speaker 1: He does a morning podcast, pretty short fifteen minutes, kind
Speaker 1: of get you hugh up from the night before and
Speaker 1: get you set for the for the next day ahead.
Speaker 1: And he was talking about how three man Sini. During
Speaker 1: draft season, someone over at Picture List was calling him
Speaker 1: a no Mar Mazara that you could get a hundred
Speaker 1: picks later. I see the comparisons right, like, it's not
Speaker 1: a good lineup, but that's why you got the discount
Speaker 1: of him. He probably gonna hit two sixty. You know,
Speaker 1: Homers had a good day yesterday, had three hits. So
Speaker 1: that's Boom boom Mancini. And then with the Yankees lineup,
Speaker 1: this isn't anything you haven't heard before, but RBI opportunities
Speaker 1: in this lineup are going to be a plenty top
Speaker 1: to bottom because again they have so many players with patients.
Speaker 1: Judge walking two times, Stanton walking two times, Judge avoid
Speaker 1: walking two times, and it also hit by pitch so
Speaker 1: and Horror comes up fifth, Sanchez all the way down
Speaker 1: to like Laboratories at eight. I mean, RBI opportunities are
Speaker 1: gonna plenty from top to bottom in this lineup, So
Speaker 1: it sucks that you won't get as many at bats
Speaker 1: from a guy like labor Maybe he moves up, but
Speaker 1: he's still going to see a ton of RBI opportunities.
Speaker 1: This might not see as many at bats as some
Speaker 1: of the other guys were hitting early, And it's good
Speaker 1: to see like and Har is going to be in
Speaker 1: a beautiful spot with all these walks of man yeah
Speaker 1: in front of him. He's gonna have great opportunities. He's
Speaker 1: a guy that could you know, absolutely exploded to see
Speaker 1: in terms of ABIs maybe lead league um and then
Speaker 1: you got a void listen, voids looking like a steel
Speaker 1: where he's batting short. I didn't really expect him to
Speaker 1: the all of a sudden be batting forth and the
Speaker 1: heart of this lineup and just smashing like this walking
Speaker 1: in baseball honestly clean up behind Stay. People don't want
Speaker 1: to pitch to Stanton and Judge, So I mean we
Speaker 1: can see a lot of Lukewoid coming up with man
Speaker 1: on first and second. You see could be a steel
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. When we come back. I want
Speaker 1: to get into Josh hit or his role from yesterday.
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and St. Louis. Will also hit on the Cubs
Speaker 1: in Texas where we haven't gone yet, Colorado, Miami, as well.
Speaker 1: More on the way. Fantasy Best Friends Forever continues on

Speaker 1: disagree with me, and I know you said it's about
Speaker 1: the money. If I'm like Trout and that's my lineup
Speaker 1: behind me, I'm not happy. Trout seemed like a guy

Speaker 1: throughout the throughout the football season. They're from fifth Element
Speaker 1: not not a very good looking character now, so I
Speaker 1: don't think I should go back to that um. To
Speaker 1: me when they were calling me Sorg, I was like,
Speaker 1: who is this guy? I kind of want the kind
Speaker 1: of them. I'm doing the Billy Russ something. If you're

Speaker 1: can't do this. You should do the Billy or not
Speaker 1: wrong Frank, the Billy obviously Billy Russo punisher. I love
Speaker 1: Billy Russo. Yeah, I got that hiccut right now. Basically,
Speaker 1: I like your headcut right now. It's not I like
Speaker 1: your haircut right now, it looks good. I actually kind
Speaker 1: of have Billy Russell's hair in the second season, kind
Speaker 1: of just like a crew cut, right. I've been watching
Speaker 1: the second season, by the way, you think people didn't
Speaker 1: like it. I like it, but there's not enough Billy Russo.
Speaker 1: I love Billy Russo. I need I need more Billy Russo.
Speaker 1: I need him get involves you Italians. Yeah, instead it's
Speaker 1: just him fighting with cop. Used to have hair like
Speaker 1: this first season, Billy Russo. That's what I had, like
Speaker 1: during the Whiteboard series last year. Great, it's what I had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: something like this right, yeah, absolutely, flick back kind of thing. Sure,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. These these are these
Speaker 1: are the dilemmas that summertime. So you want to think,
Speaker 1: you know, before summer it's coming. Yeah, I know. So
Speaker 1: if you grow it, yeah, I don't know what careful
Speaker 1: growing it out of? You know, it gets hot with
Speaker 1: long hand. I've had a man butt in the summer.
Speaker 1: It's yeah. I wanted to get braids originally. I want
Speaker 1: to get like to Jeremy Lynn type braids. Yes, I'm
Speaker 1: doing to work myself back up to that would kill me.
Speaker 1: You gotta do it before the wedding. I want, let
Speaker 1: me do it. What does you what do you gonna
Speaker 1: do the facial hair for the wedding? So probably just
Speaker 1: something similar to this, crushing it up. Yeah, what do
Speaker 1: you ever for your wedding? I go complete nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I used to try the chin thing, you know, the patch.
Speaker 1: Christina don't like it, and we get venture soul patch back.
Speaker 1: We get it like we get it for a day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could do that like a Monday Monday. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: look very She don't like because I look. She feels
Speaker 1: like look hispanic and that's not a bad thing, but
Speaker 1: like she don't like it. She don't like, she's like
Speaker 1: feeling it. Yeah, it is what it is. Let's get
Speaker 1: back to baseball guys from yesterday where the Cardinals and
Speaker 1: the Brewers have a pretty good game, five four brew
Speaker 1: Crew victory. It was bombs away early against St. Louis
Speaker 1: as Miles Nicholas five innings, five hits, five runs, three strikeouts,
Speaker 1: He walked one, quite a few homers Is Colton wand homer,
Speaker 1: Harrison Bader homer for St. Louis, Coulton wogomers all homers yesterday. St.
Speaker 1: Louis homers and then against Nicholas, it exactly what we're
Speaker 1: expecting in Miller Park. It was Mike Mustock is Christian
Speaker 1: Yellick and and you looked at me as so it
Speaker 1: was Yellows Mustakis and you at least shot seen of
Speaker 1: all people going to deep against Miles Mincholas, as I said,
Speaker 1: bombs away. Yeah, bad start here for Miko Loss. Didn't
Speaker 1: miss a lot of bats, pretty much on par with
Speaker 1: what he did last year. Didn't really walk anyone, only
Speaker 1: had one walk here, but he didn't have as many
Speaker 1: issues last year with strikeouts. So look, it's a tough
Speaker 1: lineup against the Milwaukee Brewers. Obviously in Miller Park it's
Speaker 1: a great hitters environment. So um, I'm not gonna hold
Speaker 1: this to Miko Loss. Let's see what he does and
Speaker 1: in some of these you know, other starts moving forward.
Speaker 1: But it is a tough division. Man, He's gonna have
Speaker 1: to face the Cubs a lot. He's gonna have to face,
Speaker 1: you know, the Brewers here, the Reds. I don't know
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be all that easy. I don't know
Speaker 1: how I feel about Mikoloss. I didn't buy any shares
Speaker 1: of him, and I like the guy. You know, because
Speaker 1: like there's only well there's only so many, so much
Speaker 1: picture as you could get before it becomes real. The
Speaker 1: garbage cheap, you know what I mean. And you have
Speaker 1: to take Mikoloss at some point. But I think he
Speaker 1: was going a little too high for me because he
Speaker 1: doesn't miss bats. He's going with them control. But that
Speaker 1: worries me. If you don't miss bats, you could get
Speaker 1: you could get prone to getting shelt every so often.
Speaker 1: I don't like that. I don't like that inconsistency. So
Speaker 1: he worries me a little bit, especially after this start.
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. The heart of the St. Louis
Speaker 1: line up, which we were talking about the other day,
Speaker 1: did nothing, and it was the Colton Wongs, the Harrison
Speaker 1: Baders that got it done. And I was making fun
Speaker 1: of them just a day ago. Bolton Wog Grady. We
Speaker 1: gotta talk about waivers. I think he's gonna be a
Speaker 1: partial one. Obviously he had two home runs, but it
Speaker 1: comes in Miller Park, so favorable environment to hit in.
Speaker 1: How interested are you in Colton ware. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's gonna hit play against left handed pitching, But if
Speaker 1: you're deciding like keeping her Nan is verse one, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a common question. We're gonna get a
Speaker 1: key here, Nanda's versus Colton Wong, and I think, you know,
Speaker 1: both kind of hitting the same spot in the order.
Speaker 1: I think right seventh or eighth or whatever. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: we've seen this some Colton Wong too. Like he talks
Speaker 1: about seeing Key Hernandez go in spurts and some other
Speaker 1: players go in spurts. We've seen some Colton Wong as well.
Speaker 1: He's only asked for opportunity. Obviously, both guys hitting the
Speaker 1: bombs away yesterday. I think we had to lean one
Speaker 1: a leading Key Hernandez. I'm kind of more excited about him,
Speaker 1: But I don't think we could take what Colton Long
Speaker 1: has done for granted by any means. I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think i'd buy into any of
Speaker 1: this yet, you know what I mean, still too soon.
Speaker 1: I think Colton Wong is a deeper league, fourteen team
Speaker 1: leagues and deeper maybe if you have a hole, If
Speaker 1: you have a hole in your lineup, and that's the
Speaker 1: spot you need to fill. Not everyone's middle infielder is
Speaker 1: gonna be great. So you pick up a guy like
Speaker 1: Colton Wong and you know, get a little bit of
Speaker 1: pop out of him. Again. It was a good spot
Speaker 1: going up against the Brewers. They don't have great pitching.
Speaker 1: You get a home run off julies chas seen, and
Speaker 1: he also hit one off Junior Gara. Again, like this
Speaker 1: bullpen and the starting pitching staff is not what it
Speaker 1: was last year, specifically the bullpen. I mean, they don't
Speaker 1: have Conable, they don't have Jefferson. Obviously we could get
Speaker 1: into that now. Josh Hayter comes in in the eighth,
Speaker 1: clearly going for a two inning save. Here breaks out
Speaker 1: four guys, looks filthy. I mean he was helped by
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Kane, no early candidate for catches the year. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be leaking back at this at the end
Speaker 1: of the season, and I honestly might win. He rob's
Speaker 1: a home runs to save the game. But if he didn't,
Speaker 1: then Josh Hader would have had a blown save. Ye
Speaker 1: but he looked good otherwise. Besides that or strikeouts, you know,
Speaker 1: the six outside. He could be the best closing the
Speaker 1: league this year if he keeps that, especially getting two
Speaker 1: winning saves everything you know every so often, and they
Speaker 1: were speculating uh during the game last night on the
Speaker 1: ESPN broadcast that Freig Kimberll is not going to be
Speaker 1: signed until June, because that's when I believe the draft
Speaker 1: pick attached to him. Greg Soreg Kimberll a lot of
Speaker 1: people's talent until June, so maybe he latches on with
Speaker 1: the Bruwer was there. We knew that they had interest
Speaker 1: in him, but Freg kimber was asking for a lot
Speaker 1: of money, so it's obviously, you know, there's some kind
Speaker 1: of disconnect there between his asking price and what they
Speaker 1: want to pay. People don't want to pay closes. But
Speaker 1: it seemed like the Brewers were the team that was
Speaker 1: closest to getting him. Well that point, it did. Most
Speaker 1: recently it did. The Nationals were obviously close at some point.
Speaker 1: I still think Nationals him, to be honest, you know what,
Speaker 1: I still this It's gonna be whatever injuries, implosions of
Speaker 1: the balls. I know what they've said. But if Boston
Speaker 1: just blows lead after lead on and we don't know
Speaker 1: that they will, they're to go resign them. We know
Speaker 1: they are. So that's why I hope him, pray that
Speaker 1: somebody signs them before they do. It's kind of a
Speaker 1: wait and see approach. Christian Yellis obviously got the job
Speaker 1: that I mentioned the home run yesterday. The rest of
Speaker 1: the middle of the order not so much. For Milwaukee's
Speaker 1: Ryan Bron, Travis Shaw, Jess Aguilar did nothing. Mikey Mustakis
Speaker 1: went deep here, so that's kind of deal with the
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers. Up next for US, Let's go to Chicago
Speaker 1: and Texas. The Cubbies beat up on Texas pretty much.
Speaker 1: This went to script Frank twelve four victory for the Cubs.
Speaker 1: Mike Minor allows six runs on five hits in four
Speaker 1: and two thirds. Jesse Chavis comes in and was just
Speaker 1: as terrible, don't even pitching any and allows three runs.
Speaker 1: John Lester six names, four hits, two runs, two walks.
Speaker 1: She struck out of three. Pretty pretty pedestrian outing for Leicester,
Speaker 1: but it was enough. He allows the home run to
Speaker 1: Elvis Andress and that's about it. He didn't look all
Speaker 1: that great, but pitch to contact. They gave you the
Speaker 1: quality star. I think this is what you're hoping you get. Yes,
Speaker 1: absolutely is what you can if you start John Lester
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. This is what you're for whatever reason. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, this is what this is the best you
Speaker 1: could hopeful? Really, how about you talking about Yeah? And
Speaker 1: one of them was just ridiculous. Yeah, like the ball
Speaker 1: is low and outside, not even last night. And this
Speaker 1: is the beauty of of Javier Bayas is that, you know,
Speaker 1: everyone wants to bash him because his plate discipline is
Speaker 1: terrible and you know he strikes out of ton and
Speaker 1: he swings at all these bad pitches. He's an uber
Speaker 1: aggressive swinger. But if you saw that first homer that
Speaker 1: he hit yesterday, the ball was like almost on the ground.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how he got it out. How
Speaker 1: could he have pulled that? Because he can he can
Speaker 1: make things happen. That other hitters came because of that
Speaker 1: aggressive and he's got just great bat speed and I
Speaker 1: think just a great you know hand, that coordination to
Speaker 1: the ball. And then he went opo for a homer,
Speaker 1: you know, for the second one, so he goes to
Speaker 1: all fields and that one was more of a line drive.
Speaker 1: The other one was more of a bomb because he
Speaker 1: had to like pull it up into the air because
Speaker 1: I don't know how you could pull that shot and
Speaker 1: actually get it over. And he had Chris Bryant hit
Speaker 1: home and too. I mean, the heart of this lineup
Speaker 1: is really is really nice. Almora hit well, he went
Speaker 1: two for six. It all comes down to the pitching
Speaker 1: for the Cubs, which is what we mentioned when we
Speaker 1: were going over the season win totals for the Cubs.
Speaker 1: Is you know, where do they get from their rotation?
Speaker 1: Where do they get from Darvish, where do they get
Speaker 1: from the bullpen? So there's question marks. Obviously, the offense
Speaker 1: could be very good, and I think there are some
Speaker 1: ale only and and only implications here on both sides,
Speaker 1: Greg because Albert Almira Jr. In the lineup against the
Speaker 1: lefty leading off, So if you could depend on him
Speaker 1: to lead off whenever they're facing lefties, that's gonna have
Speaker 1: some relevance in the NIL only And obviously on the
Speaker 1: other side, we had a few questions in the chat
Speaker 1: regarding shintsu Chu didn't play against left handed pitching. Obviously,
Speaker 1: much of the dismay of Michael Floorio unter Pence right
Speaker 1: in the middle of the lineup against the lefty playing
Speaker 1: hitting fifth designated hitter starting over shintu Cho. So I
Speaker 1: think those are some ALE only and only Also, I
Speaker 1: think Jason Hayward, someone to keep an eye on, just
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. I know we've been waiting
Speaker 1: for years and years and years, but listen, he could
Speaker 1: help somebody who is in need of an outfielder or
Speaker 1: something in the deeper leagues. About David and only, I
Speaker 1: mean he gets two hits, He's hitting six in the
Speaker 1: middle of this lineup against left handed pitching to a
Speaker 1: lot of mixing and matching here. I just want a note.
Speaker 1: Just remember when they don't have the d H, this
Speaker 1: changes body won't be a lot of cause is replace
Speaker 1: second masure. You know, shober As, you just could platoon
Speaker 1: and left field. That's fine. Just remember this changes without
Speaker 1: the d A crazier that wasn't in the lineup. Well,
Speaker 1: he had the d H, so we understand it. He
Speaker 1: gets a left dude as soon as Miner came out,
Speaker 1: Shuber came in and play the whole game. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: got But look, he's strictly like just what not gonna
Speaker 1: play against lefties? He's so bad. If he's not gonna
Speaker 1: play against left with d he's not gonna play. Probably
Speaker 1: right now, Madden does things like this, and this is
Speaker 1: and I forgot to mention this. The other day. This
Speaker 1: is why I picked the cups of Win Division. Madden
Speaker 1: is probably the best coach in the league, one of
Speaker 1: the best coaches of all time, to be quite honest.
Speaker 1: I mean he has to be at this point, so
Speaker 1: I think he helps them a lot. Just his coaching
Speaker 1: ability to bring him to the next level, to bring
Speaker 1: guys to the next level. Four Texas. I do want
Speaker 1: to note Delano to shields let off. As Frank noted
Speaker 1: yesterday when over three day walked, but a second he
Speaker 1: got on base, he did try to steal. He did try. Greg,
Speaker 1: he tried. He immediately got caught stealing, but he tried.
Speaker 1: You don't see that every day between you know, John
Speaker 1: Lesser and Wilson Constance has a great arm, but John
Speaker 1: Lesser usually terrible and holding runners on. But hey, he
Speaker 1: tried to steal. And that exactly what I said yesterday
Speaker 1: when I said I put him in my NFBC lineup
Speaker 1: in the Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational. Hey, if I could
Speaker 1: steal a stole on base or two over the weekend, sure, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all I want from Delanos. Elvis Andres goes three
Speaker 1: for four, including that home run Big Bay. I did
Speaker 1: pick him up. He's batting in that three spot, uh,
Speaker 1: behind Odor and Joey Yallow And I think you know
Speaker 1: that's whe they're gonna need. Texas going need to come
Speaker 1: through if they're going to be successful this year. Um.
Speaker 1: I also want to know Kyle Christis Ryant. He had
Speaker 1: a big game yesterday as Bryant has the two run
Speaker 1: jack in the eighth his only hit. But good to
Speaker 1: see that he's healthy, banning second yesterday in this lineup
Speaker 1: for Chicago, moving on, we can taken you and we
Speaker 1: get to Oakland, who shut out the Angels four to nothing.
Speaker 1: We joked and laughed and killed Mike Fires this three
Speaker 1: game week in your league. One hit, one hit, one hit.
Speaker 1: Well for your Angels that are gonna be making the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Your Angels, Yeah, shut up, very good here, shut out
Speaker 1: by Mike Fires of all people you in the league.
Speaker 1: I think I don't know if this NFBC here is
Speaker 1: a different it was it was. I think might be
Speaker 1: the pit league were last pick Frank Draft and Lute
Speaker 1: and a ton of strikeouts. Joaki Story pitched the eighth
Speaker 1: Tribute to pitch the seventh. We're trying to pitch the ninth.
Speaker 1: Seven pitches and he was done a nice job by
Speaker 1: Mike Fires. Yesterday Trevor k Hill six inting, six hits,
Speaker 1: four runs, three strikeouts in his opening day start for
Speaker 1: Anna Greg Is it worth mentioning Robbie Grossman, Yes, it's
Speaker 1: gonna least it's right handed pitching. This line up very
Speaker 1: much worth. We're all very excited about the two through
Speaker 1: five here for the for the names, and it would
Speaker 1: have looked a lot better if Matt Olsen was in it.
Speaker 1: But if you have Chatman, Pascotti, Chris Davis, pro Far
Speaker 1: and then Kendricks Morales in this lineup too, and Robbie
Speaker 1: Grossman's was leading off for it, and he stole a
Speaker 1: bass sister and he got two hits. I don't think
Speaker 1: Robbie Grossman is a very good player, but if he's
Speaker 1: gonna lead off for the Oakland A's in a strong
Speaker 1: side of a platoon, he has value in deeper mixed leak.
Speaker 1: It's a bad opportunity, right and if you have in
Speaker 1: a good spot in the lineup, and honestly, Okland lineup
Speaker 1: ain't that it's decent. It's not that bad. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we looked at all the lineups in baseball, a
Speaker 1: lot of them are really bad. So you gotta consider
Speaker 1: Oakland a pretty decent lineup one through five or two
Speaker 1: through five. And even Simon hit a home run and
Speaker 1: he was betting seventh, and a lot of people are
Speaker 1: excited about you know, Chad Pinder, don't hinder the Pinder
Speaker 1: had Pinder there. So I think it's a deep lineup.
Speaker 1: Loriano betting eight. You know, if it were a better
Speaker 1: hitting environment, I think it would be talked about more.
Speaker 1: It's the fact that they play in Oka. It's a
Speaker 1: big ball Yeah, it's not a big ballpark when you're
Speaker 1: crushed Davis. But um, yeah, look, I think I think
Speaker 1: Robbie Grossman right, there is relevance you paid a few
Speaker 1: fifteen team, I think there's I think you should be
Speaker 1: owning that format. I think there's absolutely relevance when it
Speaker 1: comes to to Robbie Grossman leading off the old base yesterday. Um,
Speaker 1: if he's leading off, he's right, Anders, I think you
Speaker 1: have to bring him up. I think you have to.
Speaker 1: For the Angels, Cocahoun let off the game and he
Speaker 1: interested there. He was one for three. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: steal bases with Cocao, but he is leaning off and
Speaker 1: he intererest in Cocahoon. He's just boring. Yeah, I've had
Speaker 1: Cocahoun in the past few years. He's much better for
Speaker 1: points leagues because he hits a lot of doubles. He
Speaker 1: doesn't sake out all that much outside of my trap.
Speaker 1: This this angels laugh so bad. Yeah, it real Simons
Speaker 1: opening day, Greg Andelton Simmons is betting clean up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes no crazy. I can't. So we're waiting for
Speaker 1: Otani to come back, but third we probably will. Yeah
Speaker 1: that codes are betting six. Yeah, it's bad. One last
Speaker 1: game to get to before the break. It was the
Speaker 1: Marlins and the Rocky Whose right? Yeah? Four and two
Speaker 1: thirds nine hits, six runs, four of them which were
Speaker 1: earned in this one. Kyle Freeland seven in, two hits,
Speaker 1: one run, five strikeers. A good start to the year.
Speaker 1: Four Kyle freelands here uh and the Rockies where David
Speaker 1: dal was the star for Colorado going three from four
Speaker 1: in the middle of the order. He was hitting the
Speaker 1: ball board. A nice job by David Doll Church Store.
Speaker 1: He hits a homer Ian Desmon has a big double
Speaker 1: uh for the Marlin. J. C. Riddle. Homer's you know
Speaker 1: Walker Homer's pinch hit and Jose Alfaro homers as well.
Speaker 1: This is a bad lineup, Gregor, I told you that
Speaker 1: the other day. Free homers, man. I think Jorge al
Speaker 1: Farrow nice to see a home run in the home
Speaker 1: park right out of the gate because he has pop,
Speaker 1: but he strikes out a lot. So see what happens
Speaker 1: here with al Farrow. He hits a lot of balls
Speaker 1: on the ground to like, if he lifts the ball
Speaker 1: and just tries to hit homers, he might be able
Speaker 1: to pop, you know, fifteen twenty, maybe exceeds twenty. And honestly,
Speaker 1: if he hits well enough, he could be in the
Speaker 1: heart of the lineup sooner. It doesn't mean much, It
Speaker 1: doesn't mean much, but yeah, it might have a few
Speaker 1: more R B I R. But you're talking about a catcher.
Speaker 1: They're not good exactly, even dal who needs coors Field
Speaker 1: right how Freeland was just lights out. Look, Giants and
Speaker 1: the Marlins. Those are going to be the teams that
Speaker 1: you're streaming. You're starting the Orioles long and rightfully the
Speaker 1: Orioles as well. Yeah, definitely the Orioles. Those are three.
Speaker 1: Those are the main three. We'll take a break. We
Speaker 1: come back, let's go over waivers and today WI stick around.
Speaker 1: You have stop after this raindas make it rain that
Speaker 1: stuck a fok in Seattle for some reason, as if
Speaker 1: there may not be as good as they were last year.
Speaker 1: But give them a little bit of credit. Here they're
Speaker 1: showing up and they're putting the ball in play, and man,
Speaker 1: did they put the ball in play? If sale was
Speaker 1: in Boston, maybe a different story. And nobody. No team
Speaker 1: has ever won a World Series. And I love these
Speaker 1: kinds of numbers, but no team has ever won a
Speaker 1: World Series. You have to give it up. Twelve or
Speaker 1: more runs on opening Day. Okay, week days six and

Speaker 1: Chris Venture, Frank Staff Here wrap it up the week
Speaker 1: for you. Busy week obviously, March Madness tonight all weekend long.
Speaker 1: Find out who's going to the final four. It should
Speaker 1: be fun. Obviously a lot of baseball as well. What
Speaker 1: happened in March Madness last night, Greg, I honestly didn't
Speaker 1: watch a single God it was fun. Was all wrapped
Speaker 1: up in baseball, watching a lot of recaps off from baseball,
Speaker 1: looking up all these swinging strike leaders, and I watched
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole Dodgers game. The look the mingos,
Speaker 1: Saint Hannah, Dude, he's gonna be awesome. He's absolutely I
Speaker 1: mean to do what he did against Chris saliesterday to
Speaker 1: get another home run. He can go to opposite field,
Speaker 1: he can hit to all fields. And I said this
Speaker 1: before no the season started. I think having Edwin and
Speaker 1: Karnacion there as a mentor is going to help him along.
Speaker 1: He was going way too low in draft. I think
Speaker 1: already as it was the March Madness. Last night you
Speaker 1: had um which is called really good games. Gonzaga advanced
Speaker 1: beat Florida State, so they're in the Elite eight. They
Speaker 1: will face now Nzaga will face Texas Tech as they
Speaker 1: destroyed Michigan last night. Texas Tech destroy that's Gabe Squadron.
Speaker 1: That's why was little Angry hot today hot today. So
Speaker 1: that was that was a one side of the racket.
Speaker 1: The other thing the other side saw Virginia get by
Speaker 1: Oregon and then Perdue, who was up fifteen at one
Speaker 1: point or maybe more on Tennessee. That game goes all
Speaker 1: the way back, goes to overtime, and Perdue ran away
Speaker 1: with it. For you defeated the Tennessee Volunteers Purdue versus
Speaker 1: Virginia to go to the Final four on Saturday. I
Speaker 1: have both of those in my Elite eight, but those
Speaker 1: are probably chalkie picks anyway, right, so it's not for
Speaker 1: Due over Tennessee was a three over two as as
Speaker 1: a Texas Tech. I had Perdue Duke in Michigan State.
Speaker 1: That's today we'll find out that's still a possibility, right, Ah,
Speaker 1: I had yeah, Michigan. I lost my first Final four
Speaker 1: team last night with Michigan and I have North Carolina
Speaker 1: and Houston still got a shot at that. All right,
Speaker 1: let's see what happens and what Wow, what's up? I U?
Speaker 1: I think I nailed almost all of them. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't even know that I got produced. I had Perdue Tennessee, right,
Speaker 1: I had Purdue going to uh the Elite eight against
Speaker 1: Virginia and then Duke and I have I think I
Speaker 1: had Michigan State l s U. I have them more
Speaker 1: in Zaga. Well, Florida State lost, right, So okay, you
Speaker 1: have Gazaga and I had Nevada not Texas Tech. But
Speaker 1: they've been out for a while, lost in the first round. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they've been for a while. There's been a pretty text
Speaker 1: still in the tournament. It's a pretty chalky tournament, right
Speaker 1: most ever, yea, and everything's actually going according to plan.
Speaker 1: I think I heard Gabe last week and say that
Speaker 1: it was all the favorites one right, not all, but
Speaker 1: most but a lot of them did. Yes, this is
Speaker 1: staring his right. Yeah, I'm just like like that revelation
Speaker 1: with dustin Verland last year not happening again is insane. Hey,
Speaker 1: you gotta to a great start yesterday nine it was
Speaker 1: nine twenty three swinging strikes. It was only not only
Speaker 1: trailed Max Serz. Now he's throwing this change up too venture.
Speaker 1: This guy might strike out three. He is a wizard, Wizard,
Speaker 1: Wizard Houston. He's a wizard with the boys. Guys, let's
Speaker 1: go over tout waiver wire selections for this weekend. People
Speaker 1: have to put in their waivers on Sunday. So Frank,
Speaker 1: I'm letna start with you. The number one guy that
Speaker 1: you're been the most FABI money on this weekend is
Speaker 1: who based on who I saw was available and on
Speaker 1: some of the most added lists. I'm really excited about
Speaker 1: kicking Hernandez, and I don't want to overreact, but everyday player,
Speaker 1: little line up for the Dodgers here again, struck out,
Speaker 1: cut down his strikeout rate last year, pretty good, played discipline,
Speaker 1: He hit the ball hard last scenes as well, So
Speaker 1: I think he has the upside to hit twenty five
Speaker 1: home runs if he plays every single day. So I
Speaker 1: think he gave her Nandez if he's out, there's someone
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna be pretty aggressive on, you know who
Speaker 1: We should ask Mike about who we've got. We still
Speaker 1: having to text him rowdy t Lez, because that's his guy,
Speaker 1: So we should have got some rowdy to lessen. I
Speaker 1: think in deeper leagues, you know, fifteen teamers, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be bidding on him. We're not gonna say how much yet,
Speaker 1: Rowdy Tilez. I think it's someone who's gonna be on radars,
Speaker 1: gonna play most of the time for d H for
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays because obviously they traded Awake for Alice.
Speaker 1: Do you see the report regarding Vladi Mcguerrero I tweeted
Speaker 1: out before here. I don't think he's basically like being accelerated.
Speaker 1: They want him up by mid April. If anyone who
Speaker 1: got glad at a discount because of the injury, you
Speaker 1: might reap some serious, serious benefits By Guerrero Jr. I
Speaker 1: think he's up mid April. So I'm so. I really
Speaker 1: think with what San Diego started with Fernando Tatis saying, hey,
Speaker 1: we're going for it, it's causing ripple effects where the
Speaker 1: Mets are like, all right, we're in pet starting with
Speaker 1: Tatis and Paddic. That's right. The project said we're going
Speaker 1: for it, and I know there's heat from above with
Speaker 1: the MLB saying enough of this crap. But it certainly
Speaker 1: seems like the Mets heard that's Toronto is hearing not
Speaker 1: a huge, huge surprise here and good news. I think
Speaker 1: part of that was also the eloy him menace thing
Speaker 1: to him getting, you know, a contract and getting because
Speaker 1: you the contract, so he was more like Scott Kingary.
Speaker 1: But these guys who are getting contract extensions, they're just
Speaker 1: the best part of the best twenty five guys put
Speaker 1: on the team and they're going for it, And like,
Speaker 1: the teams don't deserve credit for doing that. So I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna give it to him that you don't deserve
Speaker 1: credit for the best twenty five guys in the roster.
Speaker 1: What about happy it's finally happening. Oh yeah, but because
Speaker 1: they always had hinderance. Yeah, this hinderance of this service
Speaker 1: time thing with the April twelve that should be changed
Speaker 1: eating back to right. I mean the Cubs really started
Speaker 1: it with Chris Bryan and everyone followed suit. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, we could just make up an excuse. Oh,
Speaker 1: this guy needs seasoning at Triple A, he'll start to year.
Speaker 1: We'll just bring him out in April. The same thing
Speaker 1: with the Kunia last year. Yeah, absolutely, what I think
Speaker 1: with Vlad's case, he actually does need to get some
Speaker 1: at bats here, Like it actually makes sense because he
Speaker 1: was injured and you know, he's gotta he's gotta play.
Speaker 1: He's gonna play a little bit. They're accelerating and let's
Speaker 1: see they accelerated him past that super two day or not.
Speaker 1: It's just how quickly the acceleration is. Is anybody in
Speaker 1: the way wide that you're looking at, Chris, Yeah, there
Speaker 1: is um one guy. I mean, I know he's been
Speaker 1: drafted in certain leagues, but that's certainly that there. He's
Speaker 1: not solar Um. You know yesterday had a big r B.
Speaker 1: I he was two for four with a double tow
Speaker 1: r B. I is actually you know, I think batting
Speaker 1: forth for the for the Royals. Some of these guys
Speaker 1: ahead of him in the line with Merrifield, Lord, he's Gorielle.
Speaker 1: These guys, I think we're gonna do pretty well. I
Speaker 1: think that's good URBI opportunities for I think you could
Speaker 1: be a valuable piece in the outfield if you need it.
Speaker 1: And I also Tim Beckham go back to him, Beckham
Speaker 1: still ripping, still ripping list So we're gleat me bring
Speaker 1: up Beckham, and I think you mentioned key here Nandez.
Speaker 1: We talked about Colton Longfields and we said and we
Speaker 1: both said, all right, we kind of seen this outburst
Speaker 1: from Backham before. Florio said, um, I said, we've seen
Speaker 1: this outburst from Colton long before. You've talked about key
Speaker 1: here Nandez. But the thing is, I always bring this up,
Speaker 1: and it's worth mentioning again. I don't need him to
Speaker 1: do it from April to September. If they're hot right now,
Speaker 1: let's ride the hot hand, especially if you need it.
Speaker 1: Tim Beckham is hot, he was hot in Japan, he's
Speaker 1: back in the stage. Why wouldn't we ride the way
Speaker 1: with a Tim Beckham, especially if you have a sale
Speaker 1: yesterday too. I know it's not you know, Christal obviously
Speaker 1: wasn't on his game, but he had two dayers. You
Speaker 1: have that. You don't have a spot to do it.
Speaker 1: You should be doing it. You should pick up Tim Beckham.
Speaker 1: Rank those three Greig K Beckham, Regam Beckham, Key Colton
Speaker 1: Loong in that order, I'll put I think he has
Speaker 1: more staying power along term. I hear what you're saying about,
Speaker 1: you know, but he's hot too. Yeah, I say, Beckham, guys,
Speaker 1: how much money are you putting on these guys? Let's
Speaker 1: just do it out of a hundred not much? Yeah,
Speaker 1: have five bucks? Yeah, not breaking the bank for I'll
Speaker 1: put five or six on a guy like you, like Beckham? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like Beckham. I would do it because you know,
Speaker 1: if you need especially you can. How though, how much
Speaker 1: of the pedigree he goes into Beckham for the first
Speaker 1: overall picked We've been kind of waiting and waiting and
Speaker 1: waiting and that for years. I know, I'm asking Chris.
Speaker 1: He's very hones it. It's part of it. But you know,
Speaker 1: after a while that fades away, you know. But late listen,
Speaker 1: a guy could tweak something mechanics or just confidence something
Speaker 1: and could change their career around. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: Jose Batista's career. That guy was a highly tired of
Speaker 1: prospect coming up. He didn't do anything for years with
Speaker 1: the Pirates and whatever. He was nothing at all. Uh
Speaker 1: and then out of out of nowhere, he has a
Speaker 1: huge I think I don't know how many home you
Speaker 1: see it. That first season it was above forty and
Speaker 1: he just had this huge breakout season. And this is
Speaker 1: a guy we've been waiting for so you never know
Speaker 1: when a guy could really turn it around and and
Speaker 1: really find his stride and develop into an everyday great player.
Speaker 1: Uh So this could be that turning point for Beckham
Speaker 1: and he will linger on waiver wires because because of
Speaker 1: that reason, because he hasn't been able to do it
Speaker 1: for a while, but because people don't trust it, they don't.
Speaker 1: I remember Batista was there for a month before somebody
Speaker 1: actually showing up, and that person who picked him up
Speaker 1: with me because I rooped the benefits. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we're going back to that first round pedigree thing, Frank.
Speaker 1: I know it's like in the back of Venture's mind.
Speaker 1: That's fine, it's always in the forefront of my mind.
Speaker 1: Like Dustin, he came up for a week and guest
Speaker 1: over dust Stop come on, um a name that comes
Speaker 1: to my mind, and he's not and he's owned more
Speaker 1: often than he's not, so he's really fit this bill
Speaker 1: like your fifteen team leagues. But we mentioned yesterday you
Speaker 1: owned him in the pit league, Frank, and that's fran
Speaker 1: mill Ras. I just don't want to I just don't
Speaker 1: want to forget that he's probably clean up yesterday, clean
Speaker 1: up in this line up just behind Will Myers and
Speaker 1: Manny Machado, and then has Eric Hosmer behind him in
Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis. And I'm very excited about fran mill Rays,
Speaker 1: but I do worry about the playing time. That's why
Speaker 1: I own him in a daily transactive league. So if
Speaker 1: he's not in the lineup, then I can just take
Speaker 1: him out and I could put someone else in. I
Speaker 1: think that's probably his best format. But in deeper leagues,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's already owned. A lot of people are
Speaker 1: excited about him. He made great strides when he got
Speaker 1: called back up last year. He cut down on the strikeouts.
Speaker 1: He's a big boy. He can hit for power too.
Speaker 1: He can hit talking average. I do agree with you
Speaker 1: that he's a better overall player than Hunter Renfro. I
Speaker 1: ranked him higher Hunter Renfro. But let's see what happens.
Speaker 1: They're facing another lefty. So now does Hunter Renfro get
Speaker 1: in the lineup over a friend. They both get in together,
Speaker 1: maybe because those are two liabilities in the outfield, and
Speaker 1: you really have Franmo Rais and Hunter Renfro in the outfield,
Speaker 1: probably on the same day. Probably not very bad, but
Speaker 1: that's the thing. He is the thing, So you got
Speaker 1: to two lefties now after that, though, I'm worried, like,
Speaker 1: when there's right he's on the mount, is he just
Speaker 1: never gonna play? Oh, fran Mill like, is he not
Speaker 1: gonna play when right he's on the mount? I was
Speaker 1: ready to pick him up in a lot of my leagues.
Speaker 1: He's out there, so I don't know if I should.
Speaker 1: He would get me nod against righties before Hunter Renfro would.
Speaker 1: And I also think that Francie Cordero would start against
Speaker 1: right e's over Manuel Margo. I think Margot is playing,
Speaker 1: probably gonna play tonight too, because they're facing two lefties
Speaker 1: to start the season. They're facing mad Bum and tonight
Speaker 1: facing Derek Collins, so that'll be those splits. It will
Speaker 1: be Margo and Franchie. Francie I thinks he's a strong
Speaker 1: side of a platoon in center field. I think too,
Speaker 1: and that excites me. If Franchie has a little bit
Speaker 1: of they're not gonna take Wilmiers out of the line
Speaker 1: up though, that's what it comes down to, like you
Speaker 1: have two spots for four players because someone's getting trade
Speaker 1: at the time. Unless he gets hurt, which is definitely
Speaker 1: a possibility. Someone's getting traded. At some point, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have had to Renfro and Franmo Ray. It's probably taking
Speaker 1: away from each other, eating each other's value. Gonna have
Speaker 1: Marc and Francie Cardarrow in center field. I think that's
Speaker 1: more of a straight up platoon. Franchie against right ease,
Speaker 1: Marco against what happens now like tonight, if they if
Speaker 1: they're facing a righty, you're right? Is it Renfro? Who's
Speaker 1: in there? It's a sketchy situation. That's why I would
Speaker 1: like to see them trade away one of these guys,
Speaker 1: so somebody gets open to do something because there's too
Speaker 1: many there, and that's worries me right now, so I
Speaker 1: won't pick him up. Um, but what about Jack Peterson? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you mentioned Jock before. I think jocks farre also Jackson.
Speaker 1: Another one of these guys is very street, very very
Speaker 1: very street. But when he's hot, he's hot. Who's the
Speaker 1: top outfield? Add great? Is it Jock? Is it one
Speaker 1: of these Padres guys? Is it we may Robbie Grossman
Speaker 1: is Adam Jones who led off yesterday and hit a
Speaker 1: home run? Those names not Jones? Is Jock over all
Speaker 1: of him? To me, it's Jock over all of them
Speaker 1: because I think Jock's upside that is the highest that
Speaker 1: of all of them, and he should play most of
Speaker 1: the time. He's a strong sign of platoon guarantee, right,
Speaker 1: you know he's gona play against right, He's gonna lead
Speaker 1: off in that lineup. If I put him in the
Speaker 1: makes two Greg, I'd rather clean up. It's gonna play
Speaker 1: every day. It's still rather Jock first. Yes, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's not that close for me. I'd much rather
Speaker 1: have Jocket. Well, it was the playing time this year
Speaker 1: before he got hurt, which is always a thing. But
Speaker 1: it's really good in the spring, good yesterday. I'm a venture.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of buying in on so close. It's the
Speaker 1: weekly lead thing, like I'm in a lot of weekly
Speaker 1: So I would rather have the soul left for the
Speaker 1: you know, the safety, the safety of that, right, Um.
Speaker 1: But I do like Jack, and Jack looked like he
Speaker 1: had a lot of swag last night too, very good swag.
Speaker 1: Who are you dropping? We should make this a segment.
Speaker 1: I have it on the run down Who is Gregg dropping?
Speaker 1: After Day one? Team? So the next person I'll be
Speaker 1: dropping the first person I'll be dropping. I should say
Speaker 1: is that Chris Taylor doesn't play enough. It didn't. He
Speaker 1: didn't drop because I had O Tany going to DL,
Speaker 1: so I don't have the droplem. So Chris Taylor will
Speaker 1: be the first guy I dropped. Another name on that list.
Speaker 1: I put the most dropped players on this list. Ark
Speaker 1: Hampson is wait, no, see you we gotta talk about this.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't drop. I would not dropping in a road league.
Speaker 1: But if you play in a head to head points league,
Speaker 1: a twelve team league, and you need someone who's going
Speaker 1: to play every day, volume matters most in points leagues,
Speaker 1: you drop Garrett. I got a crazy scenario before you're
Speaker 1: drop him in. Before you do, here's the better question.
Speaker 1: In my situation a daily in the daily league, Do
Speaker 1: I drop Garrett Hampson to pick up Ryan McMahon is
Speaker 1: not a move I should do. In a daily league,
Speaker 1: I would own both of them. I would if I
Speaker 1: were you, I would drop Chris Taylor, pick up McMahon
Speaker 1: and always have one of those Rockies guys. That's true.
Speaker 1: That that's what I would do. I like it. I
Speaker 1: like that now, but I have a big problem. So
Speaker 1: in my home league, my big this league league. I
Speaker 1: drafted Garrett Hampson, but he was more of like a
Speaker 1: backup to Franciscall Indoor, who I have on the I
Speaker 1: l right now. And he's in my starting lineup this
Speaker 1: week at shortstop and he's just sitting there rotting, uh
Speaker 1: for next week? What do I do? I don't have
Speaker 1: another guy to stick into the shortstop position. Drop somebody.
Speaker 1: I have Byron Buxton on the bench. And I took
Speaker 1: to Frank about this before, I said, I trade Buxton
Speaker 1: for a profile and throw profile. What do I do?
Speaker 1: You can't drop no one, but nobody dropped. I mean
Speaker 1: there's a picture, drop picture. I don't like dropping Pitture.
Speaker 1: You gonna have to. Um, I'll give you some names.
Speaker 1: I got. You have Matthew Boyd on this team. I
Speaker 1: got Boyd on this team. I got Strong on this team.
Speaker 1: I got Paddock, I got. I don't want to drop Strom.
Speaker 1: I don't yeh, Yes, his velocity went up to Boyd.
Speaker 1: That excites me. Um, you know I have? Who else
Speaker 1: do I have? I don't really have the rest of
Speaker 1: my pictures really got Michael, Michael Gibbins, and Franti Dominions
Speaker 1: as my closes, my two closers. Basically, UM, I have
Speaker 1: Kyle Freeland, I have CAZy. To me, you hold on
Speaker 1: a Hampson for now, you drop Boyd. I want to
Speaker 1: hold Yeah, I'm not dropping Hampson. You have to drop
Speaker 1: Boyd not training Byron Bucks for yorkson profile and I
Speaker 1: can't leave Hampson in the lineup. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be long before you're really faced with do I
Speaker 1: drop Garrett. I like profile in Roto, you got to
Speaker 1: hold them no matter what because the upside is absolutely legit.
Speaker 1: But in the head's head points league or even categories
Speaker 1: to keep us the weekly league, you know, you want
Speaker 1: guys who are gonna play every single day. And it
Speaker 1: hurts if Garrett Hampson isn't gonna be in there. What
Speaker 1: he's one injury away exactly from being or if it
Speaker 1: could be an injury to anyway, could be Murphy could
Speaker 1: be dolled right, He's gonna be super utility for now
Speaker 1: kind of um. But his injury, that's the thing. I
Speaker 1: don't want to drop him because I know in the
Speaker 1: back of my mind, I'm saying this guy's going to
Speaker 1: get Huldn't I wouldn't drop, but he's one of the
Speaker 1: most drop players. That's why I thought it was worth
Speaker 1: bringing up. Yeah, people are ready to give up quick.
Speaker 1: I understand day one of the most dropped players. It
Speaker 1: would be a frustrating situation. Get that he shouldn't even
Speaker 1: be drafted. To be honest, I agree. I don't think
Speaker 1: you can own d Jay here all right. What about
Speaker 1: Andrew Heini and the fact that drop him. You're talking
Speaker 1: about talking about a guy that's never ever right. If
Speaker 1: you need if you don't have a don't have an
Speaker 1: EL spot, or it's taking one over or whatever, drop Andrewhini, man, like,
Speaker 1: this is the guy that's never held. He's already hurt. Back,
Speaker 1: he's hurt. They had a step back. It's always the
Speaker 1: same with Hey, I would drop it. But what if
Speaker 1: you play in an NFBC league, Greg, there's no talking
Speaker 1: about you. I don't have any shares of Andrewhini. But
Speaker 1: if you play in a fifteen team league where there's
Speaker 1: no d L spots, well we know what his upside
Speaker 1: is and you're playing like the NFBC Profanhini there inster
Speaker 1: Turnbull ye something like that. Hold on Spencerhini rather than
Speaker 1: Spencer hold on the would you rather get a guy
Speaker 1: like lu Travino or if Adam Manovino was available, rather
Speaker 1: just like one of those reliever guys they'll help. Probably not,
Speaker 1: Probably there's a picture that will come up and out
Speaker 1: of down. I want to thank Mike Floria for joining
Speaker 1: us today. I want to thank Shawn and Chris downstairs
Speaker 1: Alex as well for all of their help. Chris Ventram,
Speaker 1: Frank Stanvile, I'm grea exsman. Enjoy March badness this weekend.
Speaker 1: Enjoy all in the baseball as well. Be back here
Speaker 1: on Monday, we hope
