Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
Speaker 1: where we dropped Stats over Beats. Mr boy Dame Martinez
Speaker 1: speeds this bitting statistician. We got a good show for you.
Speaker 1: As I said, we're gonna talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame announcements. If you miss us at
Speaker 1: the top of the show, and some of you guys
Speaker 1: on the YouTube stream and you may miss the first
Speaker 1: couple of minutes of the show, but that's all right.
Speaker 1: We still welcome you into the Stats over Beat cipher
Speaker 1: as soon as you can. But we did tip our
Speaker 1: cap to the newly minted Hall of famers Vladimir Guerrero,
Speaker 1: Trevor Hoffman, and then two guys who made it on
Speaker 1: their first year in the ballot, Tip of Jones and
Speaker 1: Jim Tomay made it to the Hall of Fame. So
Speaker 1: here at the Fantasy Freestyle, we certainly congratulate them. But
Speaker 1: let's get it started here with our news and notes
Speaker 1: for around the NFL, and we start with Levian bell.
Speaker 1: I mentioned to you guys throughout the week that you know,
Speaker 1: Peter King said look out for the Raiders potentially as
Speaker 1: an option. I was pontificating before about places like Detroit
Speaker 1: that you need a kind of a stable quarterback situation
Speaker 1: because does levi On Bell really want to be there
Speaker 1: long term in Pittsburgh when it's likely that Big Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger has got maybe one more year left. But he
Speaker 1: did say today that he and the Steelers are quote
Speaker 1: unquote a lot closer on contract negotiations than they were
Speaker 1: last year. Listen, I think this is gonna set up
Speaker 1: for the Pittsburgh Steelers to make one last run at
Speaker 1: it next year. I think Ben is gonna have his
Speaker 1: last year. That's part of the reason why that quarterback
Speaker 1: coach was elevated to offensive coordinator to keep stability in play.
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to injuries, you know. I
Speaker 1: mean they lost Ryan Shazier as you saw, and that
Speaker 1: had an impact moving forward. They lost Antonio Brown in
Speaker 1: that big game. Remember, imagine this. Imagine what would be
Speaker 1: right now. I'm not saying it would be different necessarily,
Speaker 1: but imagine if division weekend because that game, the Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: New England game that happened where Antonio Brown went out
Speaker 1: and Big Ben, you know, through the interception at the
Speaker 1: very end, and there was all that that was an
Speaker 1: essence for home field advantage. Imagine if in divisional weekend
Speaker 1: it was the Jags traveling to New England and division
Speaker 1: weekend and it was the Tennessee Titans going to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I wonder what the a f C Championship Game would
Speaker 1: have looked like. I wonder if the Super Bowl would
Speaker 1: have looked a little bit different. I also want to
Speaker 1: tell you remember, don't forget about a R fifteen Allen Robinson,
Speaker 1: Remember the cl first game of the season, but he
Speaker 1: thinks he'll be healthy. Is that an improvement for the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars? Or will a R fifteen who is a
Speaker 1: free agent, well, he tests the market. Well, there is
Speaker 1: word today that the Jacksonville Jaguars, because they got a
Speaker 1: ton of money in caps, they might franchise tag Allen Robinson.
Speaker 1: He's got They've got them, need to do it. Allen
Speaker 1: Robinson is definitely one of the top wide receivers in
Speaker 1: free agency. So if they bring him back, could that
Speaker 1: be another weapon to help loosen up the box for
Speaker 1: guys like Leonard Fournette, a trusted guy for Blake Bortles
Speaker 1: to throw to. That is absolutely possible. Keep an eye
Speaker 1: on that still in the wide receiver market their reports
Speaker 1: out of Baltimore that they may be a suitor for
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry. We're hearing that Jarvis Landry will likely not
Speaker 1: come back to the Miami Dolphins. And we're hearing that
Speaker 1: the Ravens were interested in Jarvis Landry last year, but
Speaker 1: instead they went ahead and made the move for Jeremy Macklin.
Speaker 1: Could Macklin be on the move? Might they be looking
Speaker 1: for Jarvis Landry. Landry I do not think will wind
Speaker 1: up back in Miami doesn't look like the Dolphins have
Speaker 1: really appreciated him, so he is likely a wide receiver
Speaker 1: on the move as well. Going into a coordinator news,
Speaker 1: the Giants have hired James Beckter as their new defensive coordinator.
Speaker 1: So long to Steve Spagnolo. Bector was a former Cardinals
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Here's what I think is interesting about that one.
Speaker 1: He and the Cardinals they run a three four system. Okay,
Speaker 1: three down lineman, four linebackers. The Giants for years have
Speaker 1: run a four or three system. So what happens to
Speaker 1: their edge rushers on the D line? J P. P
Speaker 1: Olivier Vernon how do they move into what likely will
Speaker 1: be a three four scheme? I think That is something
Speaker 1: interesting to watch when if you're a Giants fan in
Speaker 1: h O T A S and in the off season,
Speaker 1: how if they migrate over to that scheme? And other
Speaker 1: offense and other coordinator news, Daryl Bevil is set to
Speaker 1: interview for the now vacant Minnesota offensive coordinator role. Remember
Speaker 1: that would be replacing I believe Pat Sherman. Pat Sherman
Speaker 1: moving on to be the new head coach of the
Speaker 1: New York Football Giants, where he has just hired James
Speaker 1: Beckter as his defensive coordinator. Bevil was actually there in
Speaker 1: Minnesota from two thousand and six to two thousand and ten,
Speaker 1: and if you remember there that was kind of like
Speaker 1: the height of Adrian Pete person. That was when they
Speaker 1: had uh they went to the NFC Championship game one year.
Speaker 1: I believe it was two thousand and nine they did that.
Speaker 1: So a reunion of sorts if that does in fact
Speaker 1: happen right now. Darynble is just set to interview back
Speaker 1: there in Minnesota and also news, Josh McCown says he
Speaker 1: wants to come back next season. This is the guy
Speaker 1: who's gonna be thirty nine years old. But let me
Speaker 1: tell you something. You put Josh McCown in this quarterback
Speaker 1: merry go round, and he's not the worst option for
Speaker 1: a team. I'd rather have him over say Sam Bradford. Okay,
Speaker 1: Josh McCown was like QB at late, like in November
Speaker 1: and December before he got hurt. He's also saying he's
Speaker 1: open to a return with the New York Jets. The
Speaker 1: Jets have said they are open to having him back.
Speaker 1: I could see him being back on a one year
Speaker 1: deal as also as they maybe nurture and develop a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback potentially one day draft number six. Overall, I
Speaker 1: would love that to be maybe a guy like Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: maybe a guy like Baker Mayfield. We will see as
Speaker 1: we move on to the draft. In the last thing,
Speaker 1: I'll say this is not a note from around the NFL,
Speaker 1: but this is an update to a story that I
Speaker 1: talked about. Remember I talked about the hashtag times of
Speaker 1: hashtag me to the Ali Raceman testimony. I announced, Uh,
Speaker 1: I think it was yesterday's show that three board members
Speaker 1: from USA Gymnastics stepped down. That was yesterday. Today, the
Speaker 1: doctor himself, Larry Nasser, was sentenced to between forty and
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy five years in prison for is
Speaker 1: what is now proven to be continued abuse of some
Speaker 1: of the team. USA. Jim jymnasts Um, the judge when
Speaker 1: they were, you know, issuing the sentence, said they just
Speaker 1: signed his death warrant. It does look like Larry Nasa
Speaker 1: will be in prison for a long long time. Okay,
Speaker 1: I mentioned Cam Newton though. Check this out. The NFL
Speaker 1: and the NFL p A they had a joint um
Speaker 1: investigation about the Cam Newton injury that took place in
Speaker 1: that wild card game against the Saints, and they have
Speaker 1: come out and say that there is no violation to
Speaker 1: the cushion protocol. And here's what they say. They say
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton did not display quote unquote gross motor instability.
Speaker 1: That is the term that is being used, and but
Speaker 1: they were a little passive aggressive. Today, the NFL says,
Speaker 1: quote unquote, the medical facts are clear and straightforward. Mr
Speaker 1: Newton had an injury to his eye and it is
Speaker 1: very clear in the video and he complained of that
Speaker 1: at impact. He testified to that and so did the
Speaker 1: medical staff. He said he started jogging display no gross
Speaker 1: motor issues, was instructed by the coaches on the sideline
Speaker 1: to take a knee, saying that he didn't like fall down,
Speaker 1: he was instructed to take a knee. And they also
Speaker 1: say that when he was elected to take a knee,
Speaker 1: he did so in an awkward fashion because he could
Speaker 1: not bend his right knee normally. Ironically enough, today the
Speaker 1: Panthers come out and say that Cam did in fact
Speaker 1: sustained ligament and cartilage damage to his knee in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and he had this i injury. And then the NFL
Speaker 1: goes on to say that this points out something that
Speaker 1: armchair doctors cannot make. Concussion diagnosis is on video alone.
Speaker 1: They say there are two things that allow concussion diagnosis
Speaker 1: based on video, a seizure or the so called fencing posture.
Speaker 1: They go on to say, if you don't have that,
Speaker 1: you cannot say with any certainty that he had a concussion.
Speaker 1: And it shows how irresponsible people can be and offering
Speaker 1: an opinion without the facts. They're coming after your boys.
Speaker 1: Speeds the spitting statistician, along with many other people in
Speaker 1: the industry, that we're saying that this was a joke.
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman said it was a joke. Countless other players
Speaker 1: have said it is a joke, but they're kind of
Speaker 1: defending themselves and also saying it is irresponsible of other
Speaker 1: people to do it. I'm gonna tell you something right now.
Speaker 1: Also in this article, they then talk about that the
Speaker 1: NFL and the NFL p A and their joint review
Speaker 1: that they noticed, um a lot of changes to the
Speaker 1: protocol that have to happen. We're gonna get into what
Speaker 1: some of those changes are on tomorrow's episode of Fantasy Freestyle.
Speaker 1: But I gotta tell you this, how are you gonna say,
Speaker 1: at one side of your mouth that everything was followed,
Speaker 1: everything was clear and obvious on video, and it's irresponsible
Speaker 1: of us to actually care about player safety, Yet in
Speaker 1: the same breath say that things like the Tom Savage
Speaker 1: injury in week fourteen inspired a review of the policies
Speaker 1: and that there are a number of changes that need
Speaker 1: to be made in the policy. To me, it only
Speaker 1: adds to my argument that the protocol is a joke,
Speaker 1: that this is only for the guys of public safety
Speaker 1: to placate the public and make them think they care
Speaker 1: about players safety. It's not that they actually care about
Speaker 1: this hashtag all brains matter. I still think that in
Speaker 1: an artificial way. Rob Gronkowski will absolutely be cleared for
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. You've heard me about this a number
Speaker 1: of times, but I do think it's very interesting that
Speaker 1: the NFL was a little passive aggressive, saying that it's
Speaker 1: irresponsible for anybody to comment to say that these were
Speaker 1: clearly evident on video that he had an eye injury.
Speaker 1: They're trying to show like the slow motion of when
Speaker 1: he got hit and that his helmet was twisted, so
Speaker 1: they're saying the visor actually did get into his eye.
Speaker 1: I think it's crazy, and I think that the fact
Speaker 1: that the NFL and the NFL p A is so
Speaker 1: defensive about it, so passive aggressive about it, only adds
Speaker 1: to my theory that they know that they're just you know,
Speaker 1: shining it up and calling it shineola. Shall we say
Speaker 1: when we come back, though, you know in the Fantasy Freestyle,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the latest inductees to the Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball Hall of Fame. I'm surprised by some, I'm
Speaker 1: excited about others. Come on back, we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: Money is very suss some of my rights. It's an
Speaker 1: executive who turns last year's trash into this year's cash.
Speaker 1: To my left. The man that calls himself Wall Street
Speaker 1: with a more productive Fantasy see football season than he's
Speaker 1: ever had before the crazy. Then he doesn't consider fantasy football.

Speaker 1: he held up fine over whole season. Yeah, he was
Speaker 1: budgeted a little bit, but he's just because he's small
Speaker 1: doesn't mean he can't hold up over full season. Let's
Speaker 1: throw that out the window. He's a he's a very
Speaker 1: strongly kid. He'll be fine. Now utilize him, because I
Speaker 1: don't think they did. I think they underutilize him last year,
Speaker 1: and I think that's one of the downfalls of that offense.

Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Dave Martinez, smitten statistician,
Speaker 1: the stable Genius, holding you down from seven to eight
Speaker 1: pm as always Monday through Friday here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. We were just talking about Cam and
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol and they, you know, they have basically
Speaker 1: absolved the Carolina Panthers and the uh independent neurologists. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, I find it very interesting that today they
Speaker 1: also come out with the fact that Cam has ligament
Speaker 1: and cartilage damage in his knee and that's why he
Speaker 1: went to the ground awkwardly when he took a knee.
Speaker 1: After that, you know, they're also saying, hey, it's irresponsible
Speaker 1: for people to make these diagnosis via video. It was
Speaker 1: clear that the helmet was twisted around and got him
Speaker 1: in the eye. All this stuff trying to absolve them
Speaker 1: of what I think is the absolutely obvious fact that
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol, especially in the NFL playoffs, is a joke.
Speaker 1: I agree with Richard Sherman who said it so much himself.
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, though, I just literally over the commercial break
Speaker 1: saw the first Patriots injury report for super Bow fifty
Speaker 1: two and Tom Brady not on the injury report at all.
Speaker 1: His hand is gonna be fine. They're taking out the stitches.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be alright. Rob Gronkowski is listed on the
Speaker 1: on the report. The injury report with a concussion very
Speaker 1: interesting to me. We will keep an eye out on
Speaker 1: that for the next week or week and a half.
Speaker 1: And also, I'm gonna tell you something tomorrow on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Freestyle. We're gonna talk about all the elements of
Speaker 1: the protocol that is changing or being improved. Because the NFL,
Speaker 1: NFL p A, they came out with his joint thing
Speaker 1: saying it was okay what Cam did, what the Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers did is okay with Cam but we need to
Speaker 1: improve the policy talking out of both sides of their
Speaker 1: a news if you ask me. But let's keep it
Speaker 1: moving there and shed some light. Let's be positive here
Speaker 1: because something now so there's happened today. Only about an
Speaker 1: hour hour and a half ago was that Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball UM announced their Hall of Fame class for two
Speaker 1: thousand and nineteen. So once again I want to give
Speaker 1: a big shout out to first time ballot their first
Speaker 1: year on the ballot, Chipper Jones gets in with nine
Speaker 1: seven point two percent of the vote, very close to unanimous.
Speaker 1: Vladimir Guerrero gets in with ninety two point nine percent
Speaker 1: of the vote. Lad in his second year of eligibility.
Speaker 1: Jim Pomey and his first year of eligibility gets in
Speaker 1: with eighty nine point eight percent of the vote. And
Speaker 1: then Trevor Hoffman, the all time Saves leader, gets in
Speaker 1: with seventy nine point nine percent of the vote, this
Speaker 1: in his third year of eligibility. So obviously we congratulate
Speaker 1: everybody there. And here's the thing, here's what I want
Speaker 1: to talk about this segment US US experts and analysts
Speaker 1: here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we did our
Speaker 1: own balloting, okay, And I wanted to dive into that
Speaker 1: a little bit because I think it's interesting. These are
Speaker 1: these are people who all have you know, experienced perspectives,
Speaker 1: some older than others, some you know, from the East coast,
Speaker 1: some from the West coast. So there's no you know,
Speaker 1: East coast bias, shall we say. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: and we did a little thing about who would you
Speaker 1: vote for out of all these candidates. I voted for Lad,
Speaker 1: I voted for Chipper, I voted for Jim Tomay. I
Speaker 1: did not vote for Trevor Hoffman. And I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you why. The reason for me is that, listen, his
Speaker 1: six hundred and one career saves cannot be understated, right,
Speaker 1: And the fact that I think it's important that closers do,
Speaker 1: in fact get into the all of Fame, especially if
Speaker 1: my guy, Marianna Rivera is gonna be and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: tell you something, Marianna Rivers are gonna be a first
Speaker 1: ballot Hall of Famer. Okay. So I I like that
Speaker 1: he has his six and one career saves. I like
Speaker 1: that he has a career e r A of only
Speaker 1: two point eight seven. I like that his career whip
Speaker 1: um is one point oh five. I think, listen, he's
Speaker 1: had a great career. Here's the thing though, for me, Hoffman,
Speaker 1: I feel like that he was more of a compiler
Speaker 1: at any point in time. There are very few periods
Speaker 1: of time where I would have said that Trevor Hoffman
Speaker 1: was one of the three best closers in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1: You know, he was always one of those guys. And
Speaker 1: we say it now in fantasy all the time. You
Speaker 1: know there are gonna be some closers out there that
Speaker 1: get saves in the season, But aren't that amazing. Think
Speaker 1: about Fernando Rodney. He was almost perfect and save situations
Speaker 1: last year, but you know he wasn't a dominant, feared picture.
Speaker 1: Was Trevor Hoffman ever really feared, ever really dominant. He
Speaker 1: had a great changeup, right, And maybe that's part of it,
Speaker 1: because he was not this like power arm that would
Speaker 1: blow you away. He had an incredible change up, He
Speaker 1: had great location, things of that nature. But listen, I
Speaker 1: can't hate if you get over six hundred career saves,
Speaker 1: that means you were doing it and doing it and
Speaker 1: doing it well for a very long time. So I
Speaker 1: tipped my cap also because it clears the way from
Speaker 1: my guy, Mariano Rivera to get in. Here's the thing though, uh,
Speaker 1: Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, they continue to have to wait here.
Speaker 1: In the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we decided to vote
Speaker 1: them in. Barry Bonds got a hundred percent of our vote.
Speaker 1: Clemens got of our vote. It looks like Jake Ceeley
Speaker 1: is the only guy who did not vote in Clements
Speaker 1: and he explained why previously on on Target Fantasy. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. Barry Bonds, if you take his
Speaker 1: career like Jess with Pittsburgh, I think he's a Hall
Speaker 1: of famer. He was like a three time m v
Speaker 1: P guy just with Pittsburgh. Like, yes, we know he
Speaker 1: has seven sixty two home runs. Yes we know his
Speaker 1: career ops is over a thousand. But here's the other
Speaker 1: thing about guy like Barry Bonds gold glove. Five hundred
Speaker 1: and fourteen stolen bases. That's not really a steroids thing.
Speaker 1: Five hundred and fourteen stolen bases is a hundred more
Speaker 1: than Johnny Damon who was on the ballot this year
Speaker 1: in his first year, and he was known as a
Speaker 1: run scored, stolen base guy. Barry Bonds has more than
Speaker 1: a hundred career stolen bases, more than Johnny Damon, Roger Clemens.
Speaker 1: Come on now, his four thousand, six hundred seventy two
Speaker 1: career strikeouts. Most of all time, he had a career
Speaker 1: three point one to e r A, mostly in the
Speaker 1: Al East, mostly in the steroids era in the Al East.
Speaker 1: Here's the other guys, I mean, all right, Vlag gets in,
Speaker 1: I love it, Chipper gets in, I love it. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you some of the other guys I voted
Speaker 1: for that I voted for in our Fantasy Sports network.
Speaker 1: I voted for Manny Ramirez. Now. I know that he
Speaker 1: has failed steroid tests. I know that he wasn't the
Speaker 1: best with the media, but honestly, he's the best right
Speaker 1: handed hitter I have ever seen in my life, in
Speaker 1: my lifetime, in this generation, I believe he is the
Speaker 1: best right handed hitter that we have seen. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: Manny's career batting average is three twelve. That's on par
Speaker 1: with guys who were supposed to be good professional hitters,
Speaker 1: guys like Edgar Martinez, who I also voted for, same
Speaker 1: career average of three twelve. Manny Ramirez fifteenth all time
Speaker 1: in Homer's nineteenth all time in Ribby's. But he was like,
Speaker 1: to me, it's the ant. It's the opposite of the
Speaker 1: Trevor Hoffman. Right with Trevor Hoffman as a compiler, I say, like,
Speaker 1: was he ever the one you feared? Manny Ramirez was
Speaker 1: always feared every time he's stepped in the box. And
Speaker 1: I think he's helped his case in recent months or
Speaker 1: years being kind of an advocate of the game, go
Speaker 1: into Asia, coaching the Chicago Cubs young mostly young young
Speaker 1: Dominican players. And here's the other thing. Um he went
Speaker 1: to George Washington High School, which is in Washington Heights
Speaker 1: where I currently live. Um, I played against George Washington
Speaker 1: High School when I played when I played baseball as well.
Speaker 1: And so you know, I gotta love another Spanish guy
Speaker 1: from New York City, So I gotta have Manny Ramirez
Speaker 1: in there. I had Edgar Martinez in there. Let me
Speaker 1: tell you something, as a Yankees fan back then in
Speaker 1: the mid nineties, it was him. It was him and
Speaker 1: Ken Griffey Jr. That killed us every single time Chipper
Speaker 1: Jones and I mean, excuse me, and I understand the
Speaker 1: d H argument, right, he was only on one side
Speaker 1: of the ball, but it's three twelve lifetime average. I
Speaker 1: understand he didn't have the power stats of some of
Speaker 1: these other guys, but as an opponent, when Edgar Martinez
Speaker 1: stepped into the box, you were worried. And to me,
Speaker 1: that is one of the biggest measures, like who are
Speaker 1: you scared of? Who are the really the elite players
Speaker 1: for a period of time as opposed to some of
Speaker 1: the compilers. Okay, I voted for Sammy Sosa. I voted
Speaker 1: for Sammy Sosa because I'm gonna tell you something. He's
Speaker 1: ninth all time and home runs at six hundred and
Speaker 1: nine for his career. His sixteen hundred sixty seven RBIs
Speaker 1: more than Chipper Jones had in his career and he
Speaker 1: played one less year. I understand the steroids, but this
Speaker 1: guy also hit sixty home runs three times. I am
Speaker 1: a proponent. Listen, how are you gonna tell me that
Speaker 1: just because and and Tony Senkada said this also, How
Speaker 1: are you gonna tell me that just because Jim Tomay
Speaker 1: was never like found to be steroids. He was in
Speaker 1: the same era, he had the same spike in power numbers.
Speaker 1: How are you gonna tell me that Jim Tomay gets
Speaker 1: in on the first ballot, but Sammy Sosa can't get
Speaker 1: in because of the steroids cloud. You can't compare eras anyway.
Speaker 1: I've said this a number of times. You can't compare
Speaker 1: an era with a d H against an ARRA without
Speaker 1: a d H. You can't compare an era where a
Speaker 1: mound was literally raised and lowered. Babe Ruth never hit
Speaker 1: a home run against an African American pitcher. There are
Speaker 1: so many things that define these eras in baseball. I
Speaker 1: feel like you gotta just find the dominant players of
Speaker 1: every era. And while that was Jim Tomay, that was
Speaker 1: also Manny Ramirez, that was also Sammy Sosa, that was
Speaker 1: also Roger Clemens, that was also Barry Bonds. You have
Speaker 1: to let them in. Even if you say this is
Speaker 1: in an era where steriods was prevalent, as you say,
Speaker 1: say with a guy like Babe Ruth, Luke Gary, this
Speaker 1: is in an era before baseball was uh integrated. This
Speaker 1: isn't an era where the mound was literally higher or lower.
Speaker 1: This isn't an era where they didn't have to face
Speaker 1: a d H or interleague play stuff like this. I
Speaker 1: think you can't compare anyway. I also voted for Jim Tomay.
Speaker 1: I voted for Sammy Solsa. Another guy voted for, who
Speaker 1: I think it's very little respect and shouldn't is Larry Walker.
Speaker 1: Larry Walker three thirteen lifetime average lifetime ops. I understand
Speaker 1: he was in Coors Field for a lot of his career,
Speaker 1: but he also had an incredible arm. He did some
Speaker 1: of that in Montreal as well, so I think he
Speaker 1: deserves some consideration. But again, we congratulate Vladimir Guerrero, Trevor Hoffman,
Speaker 1: Chipper Jones, don't call me Larry. He named his first
Speaker 1: kid Shay because he did so well against the Mets.
Speaker 1: I love that about Chipper Jones, and of course Jim
Speaker 1: Tomay as well. I think they're all deserving eventually, But
Speaker 1: if you let Tomay in on the first ballot, you
Speaker 1: have to start to talk about other guys. What Tomay
Speaker 1: was pure in this spike of power and nobody else.
Speaker 1: He was the only power hitter that gets the six
Speaker 1: d home runs without Royd's. I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: I'm not accusing him. I'm saying let them all in
Speaker 1: this era, they were all great sluggers of the era.
Speaker 1: That's what your boy speeds and spitting statistician has to
Speaker 1: say about that. When we come back, we put the
Speaker 1: fun in functional sports radio. You know what it is.

Speaker 1: Radio Network. Dane Martinez, the spitting statistician, the stable genius,
Speaker 1: coming to you like I do every Monday through Friday
Speaker 1: seven at a p m. Remember, we got some topics
Speaker 1: out there. If you want to join the chat room
Speaker 1: if you want to have your voice be heard, be
Speaker 1: part of the stats over beat cipher. There's so many
Speaker 1: ways to do it. You can get down on the
Speaker 1: chat room and the YouTube feed. You can holler at
Speaker 1: me on Twitter at spitting Speeds, and you could also
Speaker 1: call in at eight four four eight four three six
Speaker 1: eight seven nine. We were talking a little bit about
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame vote, you know, Vladimir Guerrero, Trevor Hoffman,
Speaker 1: Chipper Jones, Jim Tomay. I think all of them deserve
Speaker 1: to be in the Hall of Fame eventually. I think
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised that they let Jim Tomay
Speaker 1: in on his first ballot. I wonder if they're kind
Speaker 1: of sending a message to the steroid users, you know,
Speaker 1: the people who have been accused or have tested positive,
Speaker 1: the guys like Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, Manny Ramirez, Roger Clemens,
Speaker 1: and others, by letting in Jim Tomay right away, saying
Speaker 1: that it's not really about the stats, you know, because
Speaker 1: Tomay's six hundred and twelve home runs and sixteen hundred
Speaker 1: ninety nine ribbies are no different really than Sammy Sosa's
Speaker 1: six hundred and nine home runs sixteen hundred and sixties
Speaker 1: seven ribbies. Tomy and Sammy are actually eighth and ninth
Speaker 1: all time in home runs. What's the difference? Sammy Sosa accused, convicted, tried,
Speaker 1: Everyone agrees he did steroids. Meanwhile, Jim Tomay seems to
Speaker 1: be kind of squeaky clean, and so it seems like
Speaker 1: they might be sending a message. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I agree with it. I instead would rather, you know,
Speaker 1: compare just people within an era and understand that this
Speaker 1: was an era where steroids were prevalent. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was prevalent for everybody. These guys, you know, Jim Tomay
Speaker 1: hit six hundred twelve home runs, Samy associated six hundred
Speaker 1: and nine. But he hits some of these home runs
Speaker 1: against pictures who were on steroids. So what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do? There's been so many things, from the mound
Speaker 1: being raised and lowered, to the addition of the d H,
Speaker 1: to the addition of free agency, to the integration of
Speaker 1: the game to now you know, now you've got to
Speaker 1: compete against you know, a ton of Spanish baseball players
Speaker 1: and Asian baseball players and African American baseball players, a
Speaker 1: much different game than guys like Duke Snyder and Babe
Speaker 1: Ruth played against. But I digress. In the chat room
Speaker 1: on Twitter, you can call in if you want to
Speaker 1: engage with the Stats over Beat cipher on. That will
Speaker 1: be going to my guy Danny Otto a little bit
Speaker 1: later on in the show. But here's what I want
Speaker 1: to do, okay, because we talked about it all the
Speaker 1: time here Stats over Beats, right, we talked about our
Speaker 1: guys Young cause the effect, my boy big shout out
Speaker 1: to Rhodawear and Kenneth Cashman. These are guys that are
Speaker 1: doing stats over beats here in the fantasy game. We
Speaker 1: talked recently about Cole Beasley in his eighties stings track.
Speaker 1: We talked about Levy on bell A k A Juice
Speaker 1: and Wednesday, right, we even yesterday played our guy Marvin
Speaker 1: Bagley the Third who was a freshman at Duke and
Speaker 1: he dropped some bars for us, and we talked about
Speaker 1: that a little bit as well. And our guy Chris
Speaker 1: the analyst Ventra. We're forming kind of rankings here where
Speaker 1: on the continuum. You know, we got Dame Lillard on
Speaker 1: one side, we got Chris Ventra on the other side,
Speaker 1: and we thought Marvin Bagley the third was pretty decent.
Speaker 1: We got another guy that we want to talk about
Speaker 1: today today. A J. Francis. He's the nose tackle for
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. He goes by Frank. A J. Francis,
Speaker 1: a k A. Frank. He had a track recently called
Speaker 1: Olympic Gold. Okay, featuring a guy known as Jay lou
Speaker 1: And and Bovona. Because I know you're gonna get into
Speaker 1: this within critique this a little bit. I know you
Speaker 1: are a fan more of kind of the Northeast brand
Speaker 1: of flow over beats as opposed to the trap game,
Speaker 1: the dirty South kind of music that's lower flow. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now, Baba Bona A J. Francis
Speaker 1: is more of a Southern style, shall we say? But
Speaker 1: but let's hear a little bit of Olympic Gold by
Speaker 1: A J. Frankancis. He goes by Frank. He's a nose
Speaker 1: tackle for the Washington football team. Let's get into that
Speaker 1: a little bit, A Bavona, won't we play a little
Speaker 1: bit of that year. I'm I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: going forgive me God, I've been switching cars with your women.
Speaker 1: Switch ducking cop stands Nick sise life, how I'm living
Speaker 1: so white lists I could barely tell the difference all
Speaker 1: of their money I spend. They want to know how
Speaker 1: I did. I'm touching them all from spending PlayStation with
Speaker 1: the game you're with the word play. All right, So
Speaker 1: there's what we got. We got a little bit right
Speaker 1: there of uh A J. Francis and and here's the
Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna give you my I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: my report on at first Bivona and then I want
Speaker 1: to hear from you as wells. I was like, that's
Speaker 1: what I gotta say. It was like, because here's the
Speaker 1: thing with these Southern rappers. I think it's lowered expectations,
Speaker 1: like it's easier to fit a righting scheme and something
Speaker 1: that's a little slower in my opinion. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: like all the foul language either. Here on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network. We gotta clean that up a little bit.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I thought he was like, okay,
Speaker 1: but he sounds the same as Levon Bell over that
Speaker 1: slow track beat, the same as like I heard Lonzo
Speaker 1: ball wrapping. Also that southern kind of style that flow
Speaker 1: over the same beats. It's kind of all the same
Speaker 1: to me. Meanwhile, Marvin Bageley, I thought, actually brought some lyricism,
Speaker 1: so for me, A J. Francis, I got him right in.
Speaker 1: I got him in the Levy on Bell Range. Okay,
Speaker 1: I got Cole Beasley even a little better. I like
Speaker 1: Marvin Bagley the third a little better, you know. I
Speaker 1: like Young Cars and my boy Kenneth Cashman from Rhoda
Speaker 1: War a little bit better. I will say this, I
Speaker 1: will give it to A. J. Francis over our boy
Speaker 1: Chris Ventra, because he at least finished his verse. Hey, Bavona,
Speaker 1: what do you think about what we just heard from
Speaker 1: A J. Francis. I know you're not as into the
Speaker 1: southern drawl, that scissor kind of you know, trap game music,
Speaker 1: But what do you think about what we heard out
Speaker 1: of Frank? Yeah, this is my just general thought about
Speaker 1: the trap game itself, the lyrics, the lazy Yeah, lazy.
Speaker 1: I think that is a great way to describe it.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Chris Pavona. It's lazy, and it's not just
Speaker 1: because we on that lean on that scissor, you know
Speaker 1: in the club. It's because it is lazy. It's slow,
Speaker 1: and all you gotta do is say like two or
Speaker 1: three things in the whole verse, you know. And so
Speaker 1: I agree with you. And that's a great term of anology.
Speaker 1: We're gonna use that now. It is lazy lyricism. I
Speaker 1: agree with you. What where do you think it belongs? Though?
Speaker 1: I put it right around the same place as Levian Bell.
Speaker 1: I actually agree with that. I put it right there
Speaker 1: with that Levyan Bell, like I mean, like I told you,
Speaker 1: I think Levian Bell is blunt's blunt, guts trash. This
Speaker 1: is not for what it is. It's not that bad,
Speaker 1: it really isn't. It's okay, like a scale of one
Speaker 1: to ten. I give it like a you give it okay,
Speaker 1: you give it an on the scale of one. Top right.
Speaker 1: So so I'm fitting it right in there, right above
Speaker 1: Levian Bell, right behind Cole Beasley. So far. So we've
Speaker 1: got seven that we've ranked so far, including A J. Francis.
Speaker 1: I got Young Cos number one, tied for one. I
Speaker 1: got Young Cars and Kenneth Cashman. Those are my boys.
Speaker 1: Stats overbeat Cipher right then I got Arvin Bagley, then
Speaker 1: I got Cold Beasley, then A J. Francis could get
Speaker 1: in there. Then Levan Bell and unfortunately bringing up the
Speaker 1: rear is our guy, the analyst, Chris Venture. Thank you
Speaker 1: for your thumbnail sketch on that one. Bovona drop bomb
Speaker 1: on it. By the way, Now I want to uh,
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from our guy, Danny Otto as well
Speaker 1: in a little while. Um. What I want to ask
Speaker 1: Danny is if anybody's talking in the chat room and
Speaker 1: if not, I also want to hear what you guys
Speaker 1: think about this um about this Hall of Fame vote?
Speaker 1: What do you think Bovona or Danny Otto? I don't
Speaker 1: see who has the mic down there in the fantasy
Speaker 1: pit of misery. What do you think about Jim Tomay
Speaker 1: getting in in his first year on the ballot? You think, um,
Speaker 1: the Association was trying to send a little bit of
Speaker 1: a message that if you're squeaky clean in terms of
Speaker 1: the steroid rep you get getting real quick. Because his
Speaker 1: his numbers are just the same as Sammy Sosa, as
Speaker 1: Manny Ramirez, it seems like they're trying to stick it
Speaker 1: to the steroid guys. I think it's more about his
Speaker 1: personality when it comes to Jim Tomy and not necessarily
Speaker 1: the fact that he was quote unquote squeaky clean. I mean,
Speaker 1: we know, we may never know. You know, the really
Speaker 1: matter is that you're looking at the personalities of a
Speaker 1: guy like Barry Bonds. You're looking at the strange weirdness
Speaker 1: of Sammy Sosa. You know you're also gonna remember the
Speaker 1: cork bat incident with Sam. So that's a very good
Speaker 1: point to cark bad. I forgot about that posolutely right.
Speaker 1: So my question is this, when have you ever heard
Speaker 1: of any anything bad said about Jim Tommy. You're right,
Speaker 1: You're right, I haven't. But here's the thing. I I
Speaker 1: don't want the Hall of Fame to turn into kind
Speaker 1: of a popularity contest about who was able to schmooze
Speaker 1: with the media best and have a good reputation among
Speaker 1: the media. This should be about your play on the field.
Speaker 1: You could be salty as all get out to the media,
Speaker 1: but if your play on the field and performance warrants it,
Speaker 1: I think you should make it to Cooper's town. I
Speaker 1: hear you that it um that it may not be
Speaker 1: only the squeaky clean part of it visa VI the
Speaker 1: steroids issue, and that it's also kind of the reputation
Speaker 1: they had among the writers in the press box. But
Speaker 1: I still don't think that's right, because Manny Ramirez will
Speaker 1: never have a good reputation among the writers. He had
Speaker 1: that Manny being Manny, go into the bathroom, you know,
Speaker 1: in between innings, going into the Green Monster, all all
Speaker 1: the things that happened with Manny Ramirez. But I still
Speaker 1: maintain he was the best right handed hitter of our generation.
Speaker 1: How can you leave out the all time home run leader,
Speaker 1: the all time strikeout leader, and in my opinion, the
Speaker 1: best right handed hitter we've ever seen. And I understand
Speaker 1: that there is kind of these reputations about it, but
Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you think. I think you're wrong.
Speaker 1: I think Mannie Ramirez will end up in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, not And it's also because he was such
Speaker 1: a wacky guy. But at the same time, he never
Speaker 1: really heard anything quote unquote bad about Manni Ramirez. Yeah
Speaker 1: he was a Weirdoh yeah, he was Manny being being Manny,
Speaker 1: but he never really had an issue with the steroids.
Speaker 1: He never really had an issue. Yeah, he had some
Speaker 1: issues with the media, and like again, he was a
Speaker 1: little bit of a weirdo, But like you said, I
Speaker 1: think and not not only that, mt V p of
Speaker 1: the Ale of the A l C s one of
Speaker 1: the big main reasons why the Red Sox ended their curse.
Speaker 1: I think there's no reason why Many Ramirez shouldn't be
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. All right, So we go
Speaker 1: to the polls real quick. Like I said, I got
Speaker 1: a pull question of will Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens
Speaker 1: ever make it to the Hall of Fame? Some interesting
Speaker 1: responses of you say both eventually? Will thirty percent of
Speaker 1: you say neither will. We're gonna dive into the poll
Speaker 1: and even some of the responses I get when we
Speaker 1: come back here on the Fantasy Freestyle. Then we're gonna
Speaker 1: tie a nice neat little bow on this episode and
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we're doing tomorrow on the stats
Speaker 1: over Beat Cipher. So stay tuned for that as we
Speaker 1: come back right here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network,

Speaker 1: Stern on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Welcome back to
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Freestyle. We were talking about, you know, athlete
Speaker 1: rappers out there, you know on stats over beats. It
Speaker 1: is only fitting. Gotta give a big shout out to
Speaker 1: my man Dez on Twitter. Dez, you know, slide slid
Speaker 1: into my d m s real quick at des Underscore nine.
Speaker 1: He says he agrees with you, Bob, and he says,
Speaker 1: gotta give the two thousand and eighteen number one draft
Speaker 1: pick Marvin Bagley the edge over Levi on Bell. So
Speaker 1: not only is he talking about how he likes that
Speaker 1: the duke freshman, uh, you know, has stats over beats
Speaker 1: and flows over the beats, he's also predicting predicting that
Speaker 1: Baguley will be one and done and will be the
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. He gives me a hashtag Duke Nation.
Speaker 1: Also then says that agrees with me that Dame Dollar
Speaker 1: is a beast. We're gonna have to play some Damian
Speaker 1: Lillard as well. By the way, people, if you have
Speaker 1: other examples of rapping athletes, send them my way at
Speaker 1: spitting speeds. We will continue to do this, you know,
Speaker 1: in the duldrums of the sports calendar, to keep it
Speaker 1: live and rocked. Um right here, um, Like I said that,
Speaker 1: we have this pole question that I wanted to check out. Well,
Speaker 1: Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens ever make it right now?
Speaker 1: Percent of you say both of them eventually will thirty
Speaker 1: five percent? Now, however, say neither will. Eleven percent say
Speaker 1: Bonds will, Clemens will not. Six percent say Clemens will
Speaker 1: and and Bonds will not. But then I gotta give
Speaker 1: another shout out right here to uh Miguel inguidanos at
Speaker 1: Miguel three Miguel on Twitter. He responds and says, shouldn't
Speaker 1: Pete Rose be first? And I think that's a very
Speaker 1: interesting thing, you know, Bevona, you said that you think
Speaker 1: eventually Manny Ramirez, will you know Pete Rose never did?
Speaker 1: You know? Pete Rose never did You're right though, he
Speaker 1: I went full bore against the media, against the institution
Speaker 1: that was Major League Baseball, and Manny Ramirez never exactly
Speaker 1: did that. He's uh, you know, he's only been you know,
Speaker 1: Manny being Manny. But I do think it's interesting. Once again,
