Speaker 1: the NFL. However, not if what we heard today has
Speaker 1: any legs. And where they're there's smoke, there is fire.
Speaker 1: There is a first round draft pick that maybe going

Speaker 1: is my poll question today? Uh? And it comes from
Speaker 1: yesterday was the SPS all right? And on the SPS
Speaker 1: they gave out an award for e sports And so
Speaker 1: we had a conversation this morning. Are our sports sports?

Speaker 1: there in the chat room as well. We'll have some fun.
Speaker 1: I think we are gonna bring back our rapping athletes.
Speaker 1: And then, uh, you know, right now it's in the

Speaker 1: and the women in soccer. I'll tell you some other
Speaker 1: things that soccer needs to do if they want to modernize,
Speaker 1: if they want to get with it. I was talking
Speaker 1: about this a little bit on the Monday Show. We'll
Speaker 1: get into all of it. Man Danny Otto downstairs, he's always,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to make me sound good, make me
Speaker 1: look good, and he'll be uh, you know, bringing it
Speaker 1: to us from the pit of misery a little bit
Speaker 1: later on. So that's what we're getting into on this show. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got the poll question up. As I mentioned, make
Speaker 1: your voice heard, all right, people, I'm always interested in
Speaker 1: hearing from the stats over beat cipher. The question is
Speaker 1: are e sports you know, gamers? Should they be considered
Speaker 1: athletes or not? Uh? The options are yes, no and
Speaker 1: hell no. Alright, So we'll get into that a little
Speaker 1: bit later on. And then the other thing I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say is, all right, I am open for business. All right.
Speaker 1: You can hit me up in the chat room, you
Speaker 1: can hit me up on social media, but you could
Speaker 1: also holler at the Spitting Statistician number. The call is
Speaker 1: eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine.
Speaker 1: We will open the phone lines because I know a
Speaker 1: lot of people have drafts going on. They may have
Speaker 1: some question marks. We got some dynasty leagues going on
Speaker 1: where you got to decide who your keepers are, things
Speaker 1: of that nature. So if you want to get at
Speaker 1: the statistician, the phone lines will be open in the Uh.
Speaker 1: I believe we'll do that. Danny in the second and
Speaker 1: then in the third block. All right, in that third hour,
Speaker 1: as we shift gears and put the fun and functional
Speaker 1: sports content, We'll have the phone lines open if you
Speaker 1: want to holler at the spitting statistician. I also told
Speaker 1: you guys on Monday that I was starting that the
Speaker 1: Scotty Fish Draft. Okay, and this thing has taken over.
Speaker 1: There are over twelve hundred teams in it. Uh, you
Speaker 1: may see it. It is a trendick topic on Twitter.
Speaker 1: And what I really love is that everybody's drafting kind
Speaker 1: of at the same time, right, So there's been a
Speaker 1: lot of camaraderie going on on Twitter, a lot of
Speaker 1: people starting to smack talk, side bets, that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: And so I'll catch you up on where I am
Speaker 1: in my Scottie Fish Draft. We are now in the
Speaker 1: fourteen round of that draft that told you I was
Speaker 1: really excited about. I think I drafted Antonio Brown live
Speaker 1: on air on Monday. It was a third round pick. Well,
Speaker 1: the team because got in better s Since then, all right, listen,
Speaker 1: I got Keenan Allen as a wide sperceia for two
Speaker 1: in this league, all right, in the fourth round. So
Speaker 1: if that gives you any idea of my stable out there.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be all right when we come back, though.
Speaker 1: We dive in and take a look back at the
Speaker 1: All Star Game. He was talking about where I was right,
Speaker 1: where I was wrong, my leans for the second half,
Speaker 1: some diamonds and fool gazis, and why some minor leagues
Speaker 1: are experimenting all that and more. Come on back, It's

Speaker 1: show and face for listening. Hey, welcome back Fantasy Freestyle
Speaker 1: here on a Fantasy Sports network. Your boy has been
Speaker 1: statistician Dane Martinez holding it down with the status over
Speaker 1: beats Cipher. We got some people in the chat room
Speaker 1: as usual. Big shout out as always to Francisco g
Speaker 1: to Jilly Dilley as well. Other people will get on
Speaker 1: down real soon. I told you, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: All Star weekend. What I got right, what I got wrong?
Speaker 1: Real quick home run derby. I told you I was
Speaker 1: fading the young kids. I was wrong. Peter Alonso takes
Speaker 1: it home. I told you I was on Jock Peterson.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. Jack Peterson had a
Speaker 1: nice little run. Okay, it took three over times for
Speaker 1: him to loose the Vlad Guerrero, so I don't feel
Speaker 1: like there was any harm in that one. But when
Speaker 1: it comes to the All Star Game on Tuesday, the
Speaker 1: boy speeds nailed it. I hope you guys listened to
Speaker 1: me on this one. I told you I am taking
Speaker 1: the under on the All Star Game. The overrun there
Speaker 1: was at eight and a half. I told you to
Speaker 1: take the under. Final score four three. Last time I checked,
Speaker 1: seven was lower than eight and a half. When that cash.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And here's the other thing
Speaker 1: what I'll say. I also told you that like the
Speaker 1: good power, pitching will beat the good hitting. I said
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if there was a total
Speaker 1: of over twenty strikeouts in this game. I told you
Speaker 1: I would not be see surprised if most of the
Speaker 1: home runs were scored via the home run. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: there were two bombs hit in the game, and out
Speaker 1: of the fifty one outs that were in that game,
Speaker 1: twenty three or via the strikeout six team from the
Speaker 1: a L, seven from the n L. All right, so
Speaker 1: I was right that, like the strikeouts, the power pitching
Speaker 1: that was in fact dominant. There were a number of
Speaker 1: people who threw one inning and struck out the three
Speaker 1: men they face. Through all this chatman, I think I
Speaker 1: had that, m v P. Shane Bieber had that, and
Speaker 1: it is just more testament to these kind of three
Speaker 1: true outcomes that we are in. Not only the home
Speaker 1: run rates, but the strikeout rates are going up, the
Speaker 1: walk rates are going up. We are not stringing hits together.
Speaker 1: There were only thirteen hits in the All Star Game,
Speaker 1: all right. There were only thirteen hits in the All
Speaker 1: Star Game, and there were twenty three strikeouts. All right.
Speaker 1: There were only eleven non home run hits. It's like
Speaker 1: one an inning. Come on, people, all right, that's the
Speaker 1: way this is going. I will say this though, Remember
Speaker 1: I talked about my platform, uh that I wanted like
Speaker 1: also a beat the shift challenge, a fastest runner, a
Speaker 1: best accuracy. Well, I can't front. I like what some
Speaker 1: of the things that Fox did, specifically miking up the players,
Speaker 1: and I think this is something that is really interesting.
Speaker 1: I know they probably can't do this in a major
Speaker 1: league regular season game because of you know, the guy's
Speaker 1: gotta stay focused everything from what you pick up. Sometimes
Speaker 1: they may you know, talk signs and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: but I understand. But they did it for the Freddie
Speaker 1: freemanute that they did it with yellowch and Bellinger together
Speaker 1: in the outfield like open to them going for a
Speaker 1: triple crown. They did it with a couple of astros
Speaker 1: that were on the field together. I think Springer and
Speaker 1: Brantley were together and they were talking about it along
Speaker 1: with Bregman as well. I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 1: All right, And here's my thing. Baseball has a problem
Speaker 1: with young kids attention spans, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and so I think this would be a nice, a
Speaker 1: great way to do it. All the kids these days
Speaker 1: right now that are playing like Fortnite and stuff, they're
Speaker 1: watching a game and they're watching other people talk about
Speaker 1: it when it's happening. This is not new for them. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is also it's not like this hasn't done in
Speaker 1: other sports. All right. In the NFL, the quarterback in
Speaker 1: the middle linebacker have a headset, you know, the coordinators
Speaker 1: are talking to them. I do think that just like
Speaker 1: in the NFL when they cut it off with like
Speaker 1: ten or fifteen seconds left on a play clock, AJ
Speaker 1: League Baseball could do the same thing. All right, You're
Speaker 1: not allowed to talk to them like, you know, a
Speaker 1: couple of seconds before the pitch is being you know,
Speaker 1: when play is actually going on, but in between pitches,
Speaker 1: you know, in that dead time, which is where your
Speaker 1: millennials will tune out, where they'll go on their other
Speaker 1: screen and check I g. Where they'll go ahead and
Speaker 1: flip the channel. That's where if you put some of
Speaker 1: this stuff in. Maybe it's just the first base in
Speaker 1: the third base coach, you know, something like that. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's an umpire talking, you know. I do think they
Speaker 1: have so many different angles visually, you know, a camera
Speaker 1: angles and stuff. Adding this kind of audio I think
Speaker 1: could be very interesting. And you know what the best
Speaker 1: place for it would be, honestly, put it in the
Speaker 1: dim bullpen. Put microphones into damn bullpen and hear these
Speaker 1: guys chatting it up with their baseball talk all game long.
Speaker 1: I think that would be really cool something for Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball to consider. I know they've done it in
Speaker 1: uh like spring training games, before they do it in
Speaker 1: the All Star Game, these other exhibitions. It is something
Speaker 1: that I think Major League Baseball could in fact consider.
Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. Major League Baseball is
Speaker 1: trying a lot of stuff in the Atlantic League. Okay,
Speaker 1: in some minor league uh leagues, they're treating it like
Speaker 1: a Petrie dish for Major League Baseball. Remember things like
Speaker 1: it was up on the table for the next collective
Speaker 1: bargaining agreement, the idea that pitches would have a three
Speaker 1: batter minimum, the idea of starting extra innings with a
Speaker 1: guy on second. But there's two other things that are
Speaker 1: actually being tried in the Atlantic League, like as of
Speaker 1: this week, that I want to let you guys know about.
Speaker 1: The first thing is, I know this sounds crazy, but
Speaker 1: they're using robot umpires for behind home plate for for
Speaker 1: balls and strikes. They tried it in the All Star
Speaker 1: Game that was yesterday. Okay. What happens is the umpire
Speaker 1: will have like an earpiece in and that's like bluetooth
Speaker 1: to his you know, his phone, which is connected to
Speaker 1: some system where a robot is the mechanically calling balls
Speaker 1: and strikes. They program in the strike zone. You'll see
Speaker 1: this on TV sometimes with the like the stat cast
Speaker 1: and the and the hot zones, the heat maps. So
Speaker 1: they're having the umpire the robot actually call balls and
Speaker 1: strikes and then they relay it to the umpire who's
Speaker 1: making the call on the field. Okay, and the humans
Speaker 1: still has to be there, they say, to override if
Speaker 1: like there's some weird mistake that the technology makes. Right, um,
Speaker 1: and this is only balls and strikes, Like it won't
Speaker 1: be checked swings, it won't be foul balls. It's nothing
Speaker 1: on the basis, okay. And in this All Star game
Speaker 1: that happened yesterday, check this out. The picture on the
Speaker 1: mound had no idea was even happening. And that would
Speaker 1: be my my problem if there was like a delay
Speaker 1: because they gotta feed the information over to the umpire
Speaker 1: still has gotta make a call, that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: But the pictures on the mound literally had no idea
Speaker 1: this was even being piloted. They said it looked it
Speaker 1: ran just as smooth and so if that's the case,
Speaker 1: all right, you know, I think I still like the
Speaker 1: human era on someone bubble of how different umpires have
Speaker 1: different strike zones. You can tell this guy is tight zone,
Speaker 1: high zone or whatever. The thing that worries me about
Speaker 1: this is the letter of the law is the strike
Speaker 1: zone is here right right on the letters. Your armpits
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I wonder if that's what they program in,
Speaker 1: because if they do, it's gonna be different for people
Speaker 1: to realize, because then the high strike is going to
Speaker 1: be called, and that will be slightly different for batters
Speaker 1: to get used to. All right, but I'm intrigued to
Speaker 1: see what happens. Here's the other thing the Atlantic League
Speaker 1: is trying, which I think is very interesting. You know
Speaker 1: how if there's uh strike three that gets away from
Speaker 1: the catcher, you can go to first right pass ball
Speaker 1: on strike three, you can run the first They are
Speaker 1: experimenting with the idea that no, no, no, you could
Speaker 1: straight up steal first base whatever you want. Okay, on
Speaker 1: any pitch that gets away from the catcher or that
Speaker 1: hits the dirt they're experimenting with, you can make a
Speaker 1: break for it. You could try to literally steal first base.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is gonna play out, but
Speaker 1: I think it's inventive. I think it's innovative. I think
Speaker 1: it's worth to try in some of these independent minor
Speaker 1: leagues and see how it plays, you know, And wouldn't
Speaker 1: that be interesting that it adds to the game, right,
Speaker 1: Like I'm on a pass ball or something like that.
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta calculate if you want to try
Speaker 1: and take that risk and go for it some you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a young fan as you can see. And uh,
Speaker 1: Gary Sanchest has a lot of past ball issues, right like,
Speaker 1: could that be an issue that if you could steal
Speaker 1: first basement nobody on, you know. And I think that's
Speaker 1: something very very interesting to look at and to consider.
Speaker 1: Will they do it? Probably not, um, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's interesting to note that they're trying these things in um,
Speaker 1: you know, some of those smaller independent leagues. Okay, And
Speaker 1: I told you though, this does kick off the second
Speaker 1: half of the season, all right. Today there's only Texas
Speaker 1: versus Houston. I believe it's Lance Lynn against Valdez. I'm
Speaker 1: sort of on the plus number of the Texas Rangers.
Speaker 1: I'm on the over even though it's ten and a half,
Speaker 1: I think balls will be flying out of Arlington and
Speaker 1: now that the weather is getting warmer. But here's what
Speaker 1: I want to say. My man Joe ROUNERI co host
Speaker 1: on Make It Rain. Uh, you know every morning he
Speaker 1: told me that not today because there's only one game,
Speaker 1: but tomorrow. And these weekend series, the first series back
Speaker 1: from the All Star Break, Favorite hit at a six
Speaker 1: percent clip, which is much more than normal. And I
Speaker 1: buy the rationale, Like, if you're a contending team who's
Speaker 1: gonna be a favorite, you're chomping at the bit to
Speaker 1: get back at it right You're you're ready to make
Speaker 1: your playoff push. If you're one of these also rans
Speaker 1: and underdogs, someone who's gonna be out of minus you know,
Speaker 1: excuse me, someone's gonna be at a plus one seventy five.
Speaker 1: What are you really playing for? You just had your
Speaker 1: little vacation. Now you gotta go back and know that
Speaker 1: for the next two or three months your games really
Speaker 1: don't matter. But you still gotta like play out the
Speaker 1: string versus an excited team. So I think that does
Speaker 1: make sense. But on Friday and over the weekend, let
Speaker 1: it be known that the first series after the All
Speaker 1: Star break, the favorites hit at a sixty eight percent clip.
Speaker 1: That is great value and that is something that you
Speaker 1: guys should potentially consider over this weekend before the next
Speaker 1: convening of the stats over beat Cipher. When we come
Speaker 1: back here, I want to give you some diamonds and
Speaker 1: fool gazes for baseball as we move along on going
Speaker 1: into the second half, and then we will dive back
Speaker 1: into football. Okay, we'll talk NFC West scheduling bets, diamonds
Speaker 1: and fool gazes, but we'll talk about the big breaking
Speaker 1: news here in the a f c US and with
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. Melvin Gordon has something to say,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it coming back. It's Fantasy Freestyle.

Speaker 1: we may have to explain why we sing along to

Speaker 1: do it. Okay. And for everybody who is new, hopefully
Speaker 1: you guys, uh uh, you know, enjoy as we put
Speaker 1: the fun in functional sports content. I want to tell
Speaker 1: you also, though I told you I got some diamonds
Speaker 1: on some for Major League Baseball going into the second half. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is in fantasy. One of the things I've talked
Speaker 1: about already at this point of the fantasy baseball season, okay,
Speaker 1: is that you may need to sell for like eighty
Speaker 1: cents on the dollar, seventy cents on the dollar on
Speaker 1: some things. Okay. I told you about guys that are
Speaker 1: on the trade block because especially if you're in an
Speaker 1: a L or NL only league, and for example, Marcus
Speaker 1: Stroman picture on the Blue Jays, a lot of rumors
Speaker 1: that he might be on the trade block, a lot
Speaker 1: of rumors that he may go to a team like
Speaker 1: the San Diego Padres in the NL. So if you
Speaker 1: own Marcus strong Man and you're in an a L
Speaker 1: only league and that trade goes down, guess what you're
Speaker 1: left with? Squaw do? Okay, So if that might happen,
Speaker 1: you may want to start to sell these guys because
Speaker 1: you don't know what's going on in the trade deadline,
Speaker 1: right And I think that that is something to very
Speaker 1: you know, you have to really worry about that. So
Speaker 1: starts there's that about there, guys like Zach Wheeler, Marcus Stroman,
Speaker 1: mad bum. You gotta pay attention to this. They may
Speaker 1: switch leagues. They may evaporate from your player pool, or
Speaker 1: may appear in your play pool in the bullpen. Kirby Yates,
Speaker 1: Shane Green, Felipe Vasquez, Rossi, Eli Glessias. These are all
Speaker 1: closers that may move not only to another league, but
Speaker 1: if they get traded to a contending team, they may
Speaker 1: have a different role. They may not be the save
Speaker 1: guy anymore, you know what I'm saying. Like, let's say
Speaker 1: Shane Green gets traded to I don't know, um, the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: He's no longer the closer gonna earn you saves. In
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball, you have to keep an eye on these
Speaker 1: trade deadline guys. Okay. Another thing I will say that
Speaker 1: you're gonna start to learn and start to see another
Speaker 1: reason to potentially sell your players for eighty cents on
Speaker 1: the dollar or less. Some of these stud pitchers that
Speaker 1: you've seen that are having great years, I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: to run up against their innings limit, okay, And I
Speaker 1: think that's very important to monitor, Okay, because they're gonna
Speaker 1: either skip starts, they're gonna pull them after five on purpose.
Speaker 1: So if you need a quality start, it ain't happening.
Speaker 1: They're gonna, you know, spot stardom that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of I'm gonna tell you four guys
Speaker 1: right now that are that are probably helping your fantasy
Speaker 1: team right now that won't be come September. Okay. Chris Paddock,
Speaker 1: also of the Padres. Okay, he drew a career height
Speaker 1: ninety innings pitch last year in the minors because he
Speaker 1: was coming off a Tommy John ninety innings pitch was
Speaker 1: his max last year. He's already got eighty two innings,
Speaker 1: all right. And Paddock his agent, Scott Boris. Scott Boris
Speaker 1: does this and tries to manage it. Remember with Matt
Speaker 1: Harvey for the Mets in two thousand fifteen, how they
Speaker 1: is an issue with that? Remember Straussburg in two thousand
Speaker 1: twelve with the Nationals. Okay, Boris clients will be managed
Speaker 1: in this way. So if you have Chris Paddock, but
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's gonna still be the ace
Speaker 1: come September, I don't know that he's gonna get those starts,
Speaker 1: all right, you gotta watch out for him, all right?
Speaker 1: Another guy, Two guys, I'll tell you Atlanta Braves Sirocco
Speaker 1: was an all star stud Okay, Max Freed pitching real well, alright,
Speaker 1: Sorocca his highest ever a hundred fifty three innings pitched.
Speaker 1: He's already at ninety What is that? Seven starts? What
Speaker 1: are you gonna do after August and making your fantasy
Speaker 1: baseball push or in your fantasy baseball playoffs? Max Freed
Speaker 1: his highest ever total a hundred and eighteen and two
Speaker 1: thirds innings. He's at innings right now, all right, and
Speaker 1: their GM Alex and Thoplis it's a Greek name. Excuse me.
Speaker 1: He's already come out and said it, and I quote,
Speaker 1: we're well aware, we're mindful of it. We're trying to
Speaker 1: save bullets any place that we can, and whether it's
Speaker 1: taking them out of games early, if we have a
Speaker 1: nice lead, maybe we skip a start down the road,
Speaker 1: skip bullpens in between, give them extra day's rest. Will
Speaker 1: certainly watch that. This is the front office coming out
Speaker 1: and telling you, in essence, freed to Roca, they ain't
Speaker 1: gonna be getting quality starts come off September. Okay, So
Speaker 1: Paddock is another one, and here's the last one. And
Speaker 1: I it this hurts me because I have shares of
Speaker 1: this dude. This dude is a boss. This dude right
Speaker 1: now is the eight east of my fantasy Baseball's talking
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller on the Dodgers. He threw a hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty seven innings last year. He's got a hundred and
Speaker 1: four already so far. They may push them to what
Speaker 1: one sixty one seventy, So we're talking about another eight
Speaker 1: nine starts with the winnings for even a guy like
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller Okay, so you gotta remember that, and you
Speaker 1: gotta pay attention to things like that. I think it
Speaker 1: is very important. I'm gonna give you some other day
Speaker 1: these guys to forget about. I'm I think it's time
Speaker 1: to sell high on Fernando Tatis. Show me your Tatis.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I think listen, I love
Speaker 1: his stats. He's great, he's young. He may hit a wall.
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing I've told you about Babbit before.
Speaker 1: Batting average on balls in play the league averages around
Speaker 1: three hundred. Okay, if you're hitting well above three hundred
Speaker 1: and babbit your prime for regression. Yeah, for nano tests,
Speaker 1: He's Babbit is four nineteen. That's gonna regress a little bit.
Speaker 1: And you know, as a young kid may hit the wall.
Speaker 1: Same kind of thing with Joan Moncada. His Babbit right
Speaker 1: now is three ninety two and it's augmented by a
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent strikeout rate. That ain't changing much. His
Speaker 1: Babbit is gonna regress. His batting average will regress, but
Speaker 1: he'll still strike out one out of every four at bat.
Speaker 1: And on the pitching side, shout out to my boy
Speaker 1: Mike Florio. One of the former BFFs. He gave me
Speaker 1: this nugget. Mike Minor has been pitching real well, or
Speaker 1: at least it looks like it's real well. In the
Speaker 1: month of June, dude had a ninetent strand rate. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: That is not sustainable. Okay, and the babbit against him
Speaker 1: was two hundred. That's also not sustainable. Those things are
Speaker 1: gonna regress. And here's the other thing. It gets hot
Speaker 1: in Arlington in Texas come these summer months, and that
Speaker 1: ball is gonna fly. So I would fade Mike Minor.
Speaker 1: I would sell Mike Minor. Uh, moving forward, all right,
Speaker 1: That's that's the way I would look at it. Um,
Speaker 1: two guys, some guys that you need to maybe sell
Speaker 1: a little bit because either they're gonna regress, or they
Speaker 1: may evaporate from the player universe, or they may be
Speaker 1: managed so much that they can't get the status you need, uh,
Speaker 1: most notably things like quality starts and wins for some
Speaker 1: of these pictures. All Right, So hopefully you guys are
Speaker 1: on that, let's change gears to football now, because I
Speaker 1: know that's what Stat's over beat Cipher really wants to
Speaker 1: talk about. Um, yep, thank you. By the way, Tony
Speaker 1: out there is telling me listen, you know this idea,
Speaker 1: you gotta get anticipate these things. Inning's limits, trade and
Speaker 1: new roles. Okay, so that's what we do here, Tony.
Speaker 1: If you knew the show, dilly dilly to you, and uh,
Speaker 1: that's what we do here. We help you win your
Speaker 1: leagues and win that cash. Let's switch gears the football though,
Speaker 1: because you know football is king here right Um there
Speaker 1: you go, by the way, ron him and god he
Speaker 1: has Max Reid was just offered a trade for him. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you he looks great right now. But when
Speaker 1: you need him and you push the fantasy playoffs or
Speaker 1: in the fantasy playoffs, they're gonna be managing him. Bro,
Speaker 1: They're gonna be skipping starts for him. They're gonna be
Speaker 1: pulling him after five. So just just watch that, all right.
Speaker 1: But listen the big football news today. I know probably
Speaker 1: a lot of you heard it already if you are
Speaker 1: listening to this UH network, and some of you listen
Speaker 1: to this network, so we appreciate that. Uh. Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: has come out and said that he either wants a
Speaker 1: contract extension now or he's demanding a trade. He's not
Speaker 1: going to report to camp alright. So here's the thing.
Speaker 1: He's in the last year of his rookie deal, the
Speaker 1: fifth year. They picked up the option, of course, and
Speaker 1: I'm off two minds on this. Okay, one side. Listen,
Speaker 1: you don't pay running backs. He's twenty six. You don't
Speaker 1: pay him, right, You chew them up, you spit them out.
Speaker 1: That's what they do, right. So I understand that. I
Speaker 1: understand Melvin Gordon taking the stand. But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: As you guys know, I'm high on the Chargers. I've
Speaker 1: been high on the Chargers. I think they are a
Speaker 1: complete team. Here's the other thing about the Chargers. Your
Speaker 1: window is the rest of Philip Rivers career, end of story.
Speaker 1: And what is that two years something like that? You
Speaker 1: are a contender, a real contender right now. I think
Speaker 1: they are going to the a f C Championship Game
Speaker 1: this year. You know that, all right? If you have
Speaker 1: the window and you have the pieces, you have the Hunter, Henry,
Speaker 1: the Keenan Allens, that defense with Boza and Ingram, Derwin James,
Speaker 1: all that stuff. You have the quarterback in place, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do lose your starting Pro Bowl running
Speaker 1: back and then you know, not be a contender this year,
Speaker 1: and then what have to hit the reset button when
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers walks away to go procreate some more. No, honestly,
Speaker 1: I know it doesn't sound right. I know it goes
Speaker 1: against conventional wisdom. I say, if you're the Chargers, pay
Speaker 1: the man. You gotta strike when the iron is hot.
Speaker 1: Your opportunity is right now for the next two years,
Speaker 1: when you still have Philip Rivers, when you have an
Speaker 1: all Pro wide out, when you have an all Pro
Speaker 1: running back, when you have an ascending defense with young
Speaker 1: studs on it, when you have the best secondary in football,
Speaker 1: you need to pay the man. Unfortunately, I think Melvin Gordon,
Speaker 1: you need to pay. And here's the funny part. I'm
Speaker 1: doing my Scott fitzch draft right the news comes out
Speaker 1: on that, Yeah, what do you think the next two
Speaker 1: picks in the draft war Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson.
Speaker 1: There you have, and I hope it doesn't come to that,
Speaker 1: but it's something to keep an eye on. We'll talk
Speaker 1: NFC West and we'll put the fun and functional sports

Speaker 1: Y'all know how we do. And I was talking about
Speaker 1: the football real quick, and I got a nice little
Speaker 1: announcement for you guys to talking about the Scotty Fish
Speaker 1: League and stuff. We are going to do a Pit
Speaker 1: of Misery league here for Football. Okay, we're gonna do
Speaker 1: a league. There's gonna be fourteen teams in it. Your boy,
Speaker 1: Chris Ventra, you know, uh, the bff's yours truly, right,
Speaker 1: all these people from the network, and we're gonna have
Speaker 1: a couple of spots for fans. Okay, and I am
Speaker 1: going to we are going to allocate one team in
Speaker 1: our staff league here to be a member of the
Speaker 1: Stats over Beat Cipher. Okay, there will be a Stats
Speaker 1: over Beat Cipher member in our league. I made a point.
Speaker 1: We're gonna reserve a spot in this league, So hit
Speaker 1: me up and we'll try and figure out how to
Speaker 1: do to that. Maybe we're run a contest or something.
Speaker 1: But one of my real deal Stats over Beat Cipher folks,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get you into this staff league and then
Speaker 1: you're gonna, you know, compete against the spitting statisticians. See
Speaker 1: if you can win your leagues and win that cast.
Speaker 1: But I want to let you know about that. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get that going on next month. More details to come. Yes,
Speaker 1: I am in fact on now twice a week on
Speaker 1: the evenings Monday and Thursday. You could also if that's
Speaker 1: not enough speeds for you, you you could also catch me
Speaker 1: every week day morning seven and nine am with my
Speaker 1: main man, the rain Man, Joe an ay On Make
Speaker 1: It Rain. We do a lot of good stuff over there.
Speaker 1: And as we get into football season, oh boy, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be nuts. If you weren't here on Monday, I
Speaker 1: gave you diamonds and fool gazes for all the teams
Speaker 1: in the NFC West. All right, um um um. I'm
Speaker 1: down on Girlie because I don't want him as my
Speaker 1: RB one. I think he'll be fine. I just don't
Speaker 1: think he'll be a workhorse anymore. And it's about volume
Speaker 1: for that RB one, the workhorse, the bell cow Right.
Speaker 1: I told you I'm on Darren Henderson. I told you
Speaker 1: I like Cooper cup at value because he's the lowest
Speaker 1: of the three, right. Uh. For Seattle, I told you
Speaker 1: I'm on Rashad Penny. I think he's gonna get a
Speaker 1: little second year jumping. I'm down on DK Metcalf. I
Speaker 1: think he's a food gazzy someone you need to forget about. Right,
Speaker 1: this idea that he's not a polished receiver. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be a he's gonna be a down the field guy,
Speaker 1: and that's great, But The Seahawks are like the second
Speaker 1: biggest running team in the NFL, So outside of Tyler Lockett,
Speaker 1: I'm off all their receivers in San Francisco. I'm on
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis. I like some of the running backs by committee.
Speaker 1: If you get the right one of Coleman or McKinnon,
Speaker 1: I think you have an RB late RB two and
Speaker 1: a flex play kind of guy, and that could be
Speaker 1: value for you. I am down on George Kittle. He's
Speaker 1: my fool gazzy for the Niners. I told you there
Speaker 1: will be some regression. He doesn't have his college roommates C. J.
Speaker 1: Bethard throwing him the ball anymore, and there's just more
Speaker 1: weapons now Mark he's good win back. Pettis is there.
Speaker 1: They drafted Debo, they have Tevin Coleman out of the backfield,
Speaker 1: they have Jerk McKinnon back. Kittle will be fine, but
Speaker 1: he's not gonna you know, he's not gonna eclipse his
Speaker 1: stats from last year. He's gonna regress. I think he
Speaker 1: belongs a little bit more in the Hunter Henry Evan
Speaker 1: Ingram Tear. I actually may rather having O. J. Howard
Speaker 1: at three. I think it's Kelsey and Arts, but that's
Speaker 1: besides the point. And I told you a guy I
Speaker 1: really like, an Arizona's Christian Kirk. I told you about
Speaker 1: his connection with Kyler Murray. They both were at Texas
Speaker 1: A and M together, and I think he takes a step.
Speaker 1: And I tell you, with the Arizona Cardinals, a lot
Speaker 1: of David Johnson fits into this category. If you're if
Speaker 1: you're into like Fitzy or Andy Isabella or any of
Speaker 1: those guys. The thing with the Cardinals is this Cliff
Speaker 1: Kingsbury offense. They are gonna run a ton more plays
Speaker 1: then most teams. Okay, so that's more opportunities, that's more volume.
Speaker 1: So I like that, and I like Christian Kirk. I
Speaker 1: think Christian Kirk he right now is going as wide
Speaker 1: receiver thirty five. I got him in uh Scottie Fish
Speaker 1: as the thirties seventh wide receiver off the board in
Speaker 1: the tenth round, and I was real happy about it.
Speaker 1: He was my wide receiver four. Okay, I have Christian
Speaker 1: Kirk as my fourth wide receiver. I'm happy about it.
Speaker 1: In case you want to know, you may be seeing
Speaker 1: the hashtag s F nine going all over the place
Speaker 1: right now on Twitter that Scotti Fish nine, my wide
Speaker 1: receivers ort Tonio Brown, Keenan Allen, then Calvin Ridley, and
Speaker 1: then Christian Kirk. So I like that. I got some
Speaker 1: other may other diamonds and the roughs there. But let
Speaker 1: me tell you about the schedule. I told you also
Speaker 1: that my my my hot take here would be I'm
Speaker 1: fitting the Rams this year. I think the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: hangover is real. I think their schedule is real. Like
Speaker 1: the Rams have to, uh, you know, play the first
Speaker 1: place schedule. So they're gonna see the Saints. You know,
Speaker 1: they're gonna see uh, the Eagles or whatever when like
Speaker 1: the Seahawks will see you know, the Panthers and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. Right. The Rams also lose a home game. Okay,
Speaker 1: they have technically a home game, but it's in London
Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Bengals. So check this out. They have
Speaker 1: a home game against the forty Niners. These are the
Speaker 1: Rams I'm talking about against the Niners in Week six.
Speaker 1: They don't play another real, actual home game until Week eleven,
Speaker 1: and it's against the Chicago Bears. That's a big stretch
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. Their only technical home
Speaker 1: game is in London. I don't like that. Could Contrast
Speaker 1: that with the fact that the Seattle Seahawks finish with
Speaker 1: two games at home in Week sixteen and seventeen against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the Niners at home. I think that
Speaker 1: helps the Seahawks in a potential playoff push. I'm playing
Speaker 1: under the ten and a half wins for the Rams
Speaker 1: over eight and a half wins for the Seahawks San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Their win total is eight. I pass on that. I
Speaker 1: can see them going eight and eate. I can see
Speaker 1: them being a surprise team with Jimmy G and toe
Speaker 1: and the weapons and the Shanahan offense. I can see
Speaker 1: them taking a little step and being a fringe contender
Speaker 1: at nine and seven. I could also see them easily
Speaker 1: winning six or seven games, although I do think they
Speaker 1: take a step forward as long as Jimmy G stays healthy.
Speaker 1: And then with the Arizona Cardinals, they're over under is five.
Speaker 1: I'm staying away from the Cardinals. Listen. I told you
Speaker 1: last year I thought they were one of the worst
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, and they were. With the rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback and the new scheme, it could go. It can
Speaker 1: go a lot of different ways. This Cliff Kingsbury system
Speaker 1: could completely defecate the Mattress and they could be again
Speaker 1: four and twelve. Or Kyler Murray can wind up being
Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield was and they could really be a
Speaker 1: surprise team. So I'm off that. My bet would be
Speaker 1: the over eight and a half of the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: They have an identity, they have a you know, a
Speaker 1: top tier quarterback, right and that's really the ingredients you need.
Speaker 1: And so if I'm off the Rams, the rooms are
Speaker 1: money is one ninety to win that division. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're gonna win the division, guys, I really don't.
Speaker 1: I think that, you know. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: this is broke well for the Rams last year, and
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna, you know, take a step back.
Speaker 1: They still may make the playoffs. They still may be decent,
Speaker 1: but I don't think they you know, I don't think
Speaker 1: they eclipse the ten and a half win total. They
Speaker 1: could go ten and six, they could go nine and seven.
Speaker 1: They could go nine and seven and missed the playoffs,
Speaker 1: all right. So I'm on the Seattle Seahawks to win
Speaker 1: this division at four to one. They are plus three
Speaker 1: ninety right now, and I think that's worth it. Niners
Speaker 1: plus four hundred. I think if you want to put
Speaker 1: some shekels on the Seahawks maybe and the Niners, I
Speaker 1: think it's a decent bet. But my division bet here
Speaker 1: will be the Seahawks at four to one. I think
Speaker 1: everybody's on the rams, and I think that is not
Speaker 1: necessarily the smartest thing out there. All right, So Danny,
Speaker 1: are you with me, brother man? Because our poll question,
Speaker 1: our poll question is about the sports, right, And are
Speaker 1: these guys athletes? Yes? What do you think, Danny? Are
Speaker 1: the athletes? Um? There was a time where I would
Speaker 1: I would say they weren't. But now that I know
Speaker 1: a couple of them, I do believe. And they train,
Speaker 1: they train hard. What are they train for? Uh? Four tournaments? Right?
Speaker 1: But like what kind of training are we talking about? What?
Speaker 1: Like just like like remember Jeopardy James, the guy was
Speaker 1: on Jeopardy for like a month and a half. He
Speaker 1: was training to like hit the buzzer quicker. You know,
Speaker 1: yeah he was, Um, but what are they doing? Is
Speaker 1: it like finger training? Is it just like stamina kind
Speaker 1: of training? Is it? What? It's a little bit of everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's mostly it's going to be playing the
Speaker 1: game that you're for obviously to get better, to figure
Speaker 1: out lines, better strategies for doing what you need to do.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I mean I'm sure finger dicks dexterity
Speaker 1: has to go into it also. Okay, so let me
Speaker 1: ask you this. If a video game player is an athlete,
Speaker 1: is the poker player an athlete? Um? Professional poker player? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Probably is a jockey an athlete? Yeah? Hm is a Listen.
Speaker 1: I've seen like you know on ESPN, THEO, you know,
Speaker 1: I've seen like darts. Are dart players athletes? I mean cornhole?
Speaker 1: I mean, now we're getting the leisure activities. Well, that's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So so the distinction I would draw is,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a sport, bro, I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: think it's a game. And I think athletes play sports
Speaker 1: and players play game. I'm not trying to disrespect games.
Speaker 1: Chess is a game that requires incredule mental acumen, strategy, planning, foresight, discipline.
Speaker 1: I ain't, I ain't. You know, I'm not talking smack
Speaker 1: about the game. But it's a game. It's not a sport,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like poker is a game.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. You gotta sit there in a
Speaker 1: tournament for ten hours and have that stamina, have that focus.
Speaker 1: It's like, legit, it's just not a sport. Okay, it's
Speaker 1: a game, you know. And that's the way I think
Speaker 1: these sports and and and I brought it up because
Speaker 1: the SPS yesterday they awarded uh an SP to uh
Speaker 1: E Sports and I don't know if that should be
Speaker 1: a category. And right now on the poll on Twitter, Danny,
Speaker 1: most of the people agree with me. Ninetent say yes,
Speaker 1: they're athletes, thirty one percent say no, and fifty of
Speaker 1: people say, Danny, hell no, hell no, then athletes, you know.
Speaker 1: So I I understand because we talked about this this morning.
Speaker 1: I Make It Rain and someone in the chat room
Speaker 1: was on something like if you could play it in
Speaker 1: your basement with a bag of cheetos, it's not a sport.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, I hear that. But guess
Speaker 1: what if you're a dude with a bag of cheetos
Speaker 1: and your mom's basement or whatever, you probably are not
Speaker 1: at this level, right You're not probably not playing in
Speaker 1: tournaments like these guys are on teams and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, right, Danny? I think. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm fine. However anybody wants to feel about it. I
Speaker 1: I think if if it's something that you have to
Speaker 1: train and devote a huge chunk of life too, I
Speaker 1: think it's it's worth calling it, uh, calling them a
Speaker 1: competitor and calling it uh like them as is Joey
Speaker 1: chestnutt an athlete. Uh. You know who he is, right,
Speaker 1: the hot dog guy. I don't. He's the guy who
Speaker 1: dominates the hot bug I know who he is. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think, um, because I mean, you do have
Speaker 1: to train a lot, and they have to put their
Speaker 1: body through a lot. All right, Right now, my man
Speaker 1: Big Timer, who, by the way, is part of the
Speaker 1: Pit of Misery Fantasy Baseball League. Uh he is. I
Speaker 1: understand that. Uh. And by the way, Big Timer also,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the standings of the pit Fantasy Baseball League,
Speaker 1: and we right now are in a tie. We are
Speaker 1: tied in playoff position right now. So shout out to you,
Speaker 1: big Timer, all right? And um. And then someone asked
Speaker 1: me about s F nine real quick, and Ben says
Speaker 1: he's right. If you miss out on Kelsey or it's
Speaker 1: O J. Kittle those in the in the Scottie Fish settings,
Speaker 1: you need to get those. I got zach Ertz early.
Speaker 1: But he says, if I miss out on Kelsey or
Speaker 1: it's O J. Kittle, O J. Kittle, Henry and Ingram,
Speaker 1: who would I go for? Their? Um, Jared Cook Jared
Speaker 1: Cook is my next one to three or five six?
Speaker 1: Unless I'm missing someone, I think it's Jared Cook who
Speaker 1: would be my next one? He would be my next
Speaker 1: tight end available there? Okay, So, Um, if you're asking
Speaker 1: me the question, and Ben you are, if those one, two, three,
Speaker 1: five six are gone, I think Jared Cook would be
Speaker 1: my next tight end. Okay. I like Jared Cook. They
Speaker 1: signed him to to use Breeze has been looking for
Speaker 1: a tight end for a while, and you know that's
Speaker 1: that's um. And who's really the number two wide receiver there?
Speaker 1: You know it's Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara is there
Speaker 1: clearly right? But then who really is the next guy?
Speaker 1: So for me, it would be Jared Cook. I have
Speaker 1: them over Eric Ebron. I think Eric Ebron's touchdowns regress.
Speaker 1: I've talked about that, it would be Cook. Then you
Speaker 1: gotta consider guys like in Joku, maybe Vance McDonald as well.
Speaker 1: Those are the guys I like that. Music means my
Speaker 1: time is up and yo we have fun when time flies. Yes,
Speaker 1: big time or I'm on cook over Burton. But guys,

Speaker 1: thanks for listening. Teems like the Orioles to Marlins, Royals, Tigers,
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, Mariners. They've obviously committed to rebuilding, which is fair.
Speaker 1: I get that, but at times it certainly does Dane
Speaker 1: appear that we're calling up a guy to do this.
Speaker 1: We're sitting this guy. Are they really always putting their
Speaker 1: best foot forward? Is tanking an issue and will it
Speaker 1: be an issue in your opinion in the second half
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball? Absolutely? Absolutely? Will you know? Um?
Speaker 1: And We've been saying this in every sport. I've called
Speaker 1: it the race away from the middle. And here's the
Speaker 1: way I think it, here's the way I think it
Speaker 1: plays out. Okay, and let me get this straight. I've
Speaker 1: said this before, You've said it before, Joe. When we
Speaker 1: talk about tanking, that does not mean that the players
Speaker 1: on the field are not trying hard. That's not what
Speaker 1: this means. This means things like the front office not
Speaker 1: going for signing guys. This means things like the managers, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, letting the kids play like You can
Speaker 1: have a valid argument that if you're not contending, what
Speaker 1: you want to do is get experience for some kids
Speaker 1: that will be part of the future of your franchise,
Speaker 1: or putting them out there so that other teams can
Speaker 1: see them and they become more marketable via trade. Those
Speaker 1: are valid things, but they're just strategies that are not
Speaker 1: for now, that are longer term strategies, and I think
Speaker 1: that's part of what tanking is. Also when the team organization,
Speaker 1: the brain trust, the management is taking a long view
Speaker 1: of that, right, and so if you look at it
Speaker 1: that way, the idea of playing kids is part of
Speaker 1: that long view. But yes, I think it will have
Speaker 1: an impact because you're gonna see that, You're gonna see
Speaker 1: some spots starts from kids that come up, You're gonna
Speaker 1: see when they expand the rosters, that sort of thing.
Speaker 1: So yes, I do think it will have an impact.
Speaker 1: And what I was mentioned and I was asking you before,
Speaker 1: is the place I think it might have an impact
Speaker 1: is not even game by game, but as you look
Speaker 1: at series prices, you know, when you have some of
Speaker 1: these teams that have fallen out of it, I might
Speaker 1: fade them in the series price. You've said, on any
Speaker 1: given game, the Orioles, the Marlins, the Mariners, they can win,
Speaker 1: but I think it would be a lot harder for
Speaker 1: them to win series let's say on the road or
Speaker 1: something like that. When I know, but one of those
Speaker 1: starts are gonna be like some kind of kid or
Speaker 1: an opener or something like that. So I think series
Speaker 1: price might be the way to go. Our teams cutting
Speaker 1: their nose off despite their face dainge. From the standpoint
Speaker 1: of Listen, we still make a lot of money at
Speaker 1: the gate, generating people to buy tickets and come and
Speaker 1: see our baseball team locally. Are we are we killing
Speaker 1: the prospect of the future knowing that if a guy
Speaker 1: Listen spends a couple of hundred dollars to take his
Speaker 1: kids to a baseball game on a Thursday or Friday
Speaker 1: night or heading into the weekend, and you know you
Speaker 1: can't identify anybody on the field, they get blown out
Speaker 1: thirteen to one because nobody really seems to give a crap.
Speaker 1: Are are you killing will? Will that guy go, well,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. We'll get him next year. We'll
Speaker 1: get him next game. I mean, are you Are you
Speaker 1: alienating more fans than actually enticing them to invest in
Speaker 1: the team because it isn't
