Speaker 1: of weeks. Not as fast as last week, really not
Speaker 1: as fast as last week. Fast meet was flying by.
Speaker 1: Feels feels pretty good right now, you feeling good. We've
Speaker 1: got a lot going on, Greggy, a lot of baseball
Speaker 1: action going on. Look at these nice little graphics may
Speaker 1: by Alex. She's doing a fantastic job like those like
Speaker 1: fantastic job. I don't even remember who Martino was throwing
Speaker 1: shade very much, guys, I really appreciate that. I just
Speaker 1: wish I can do you much better with video, because
Speaker 1: I'm about to throw a computer for the window. All right, fantastic.
Speaker 1: I thought Carl's ending the video. What happened to that.
Speaker 1: I've heard Carl say that about us three four times.
Speaker 1: All right, appreciate it. Yeah, we're not live video, but
Speaker 1: but he's trying in progress, in progress, in progress. It's
Speaker 1: crazy time right now. June is always a pretty wild
Speaker 1: time because we're in the midst of fantasy baseball. There's
Speaker 1: a lot going on. We got the NBA Finals going
Speaker 1: on right now, we have the NBA Playoffs coming up,
Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs and the NBA Draft coming up next week
Speaker 1: and the final and uh, fantasy football is right around
Speaker 1: the corner. We'll talk to Davi's Maddick later on in
Speaker 1: the show. Get a little best Ball strategy in here
Speaker 1: as well. Grad I was just talking to Davis right
Speaker 1: before we went on the air about a little best
Speaker 1: ball strategy about the US Opening, you know you don't
Speaker 1: care about that starts tomorrow. Pebble Beach one of the
Speaker 1: majors in golf, so that's exciting. Just drafted my team.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm sorry, Greg, I'm pretty useless when it
Speaker 1: comes to golf, alright, But that's that's why we have Davis, right,
Speaker 1: Davis knows football. Davis. We have m on for golf.
Speaker 1: He does the Fando video, he does random moons lega soccer.
Speaker 1: He does not not even kidding. No, I know, I've
Speaker 1: seen him talk about it. Yeah, it's ridiculous. He's out
Speaker 1: of his mind, but I love it. Davids Mattock, Jolanes
Speaker 1: is coming up. Told forty Virginia Zakis will join us tomorrow.
Speaker 1: From inside injuries, lot of injuries. Last night I was
Speaker 1: looking at my pit team before we went on the air,
Speaker 1: and we have three pickups per week and I have
Speaker 1: used all three. Damn it already it's Wednesday. I used one. Today.
Speaker 1: I'm streaming Danny Duffy against the title. So I streamed
Speaker 1: Jared I cough on Monday, sorry, not only got bombed,
Speaker 1: but was then sent to the bull then, so on
Speaker 1: Tuesday I lost Corey Seeger, Ryan Brazier, Jordan Lyles and
Speaker 1: Jose Irradio to the I l oh my God on
Speaker 1: two is night, so I used to pick up to that.
Speaker 1: I can't tell if that's better or worse than the
Speaker 1: fact that I had Paxton and Zac Wheelder my lot yesterday.
Speaker 1: I also Patric but I had um must Year. It's
Speaker 1: Naka and Patrick Corby and my litter. All right, let's go,
Speaker 1: we both suck doing really well. This week is a
Speaker 1: great week, Frank, great week. Everybody be sure to continue
Speaker 1: taking our advice absolutely. And that actually leads us to
Speaker 1: a poll question, Frank that it was a great poll question.
Speaker 1: I actually didn't use this for the Polly what we'll
Speaker 1: use it tomorrow. We put it on the rundown. I
Speaker 1: was so excited. I was like, wow, Frank, this is
Speaker 1: a great idea. I'm loving your creativity because I saw
Speaker 1: I saw people. I saw someone specifically, I tell you
Speaker 1: during the break last night, and it was no, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: And I just got so frustrated about like fantasy analysts
Speaker 1: that pumped themselves up too much. You have to be realistic, man.
Speaker 1: I understand, like you have a brand and you want
Speaker 1: to promote yourself as someone who gets a lot of
Speaker 1: things correct, but nobody in this industry gets correct, Greg,
Speaker 1: And you have to be able to you learn from
Speaker 1: your mistakes. And what I think we do a lot
Speaker 1: is make fun of ourselves when we get things wrong,
Speaker 1: and you have to try and learn from it. This
Speaker 1: is one of those things that I think I take
Speaker 1: the other extreme a bit, like I get a lot
Speaker 1: wrong and I don't mind talking about we probably shouldn't,
Speaker 1: like we've been saying this for years, that we shouldn't
Speaker 1: talk about how it makes me get wrong, like it's
Speaker 1: a right to do sometimes, Craig. We probably shouldn't give
Speaker 1: people this impression that we're wrong all the time. But
Speaker 1: you know, we like to have fun with it. We
Speaker 1: like to joke around, and I think it's it's a
Speaker 1: much better approach in life overall to like don't take
Speaker 1: things too seriously, like don't be too cocky. You gotta
Speaker 1: be confident. But like these fantasy analysts who just only
Speaker 1: tell you the things that they get right all the time,
Speaker 1: it's just it's such a tired look, Greg, And I'm
Speaker 1: over it. But we'll talk about that later on the week. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: it's I can't even reveal it now. I didn't. I
Speaker 1: didn't want to put in your because I didn't want
Speaker 1: Davis Maddick to think we were like talking about him
Speaker 1: or something. Oh he thought, he thought too, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: probably overthought it. Kidding me. Let's get into the news.
Speaker 1: We got a lot going on, all right. So the
Speaker 1: biggest news for me, uh was and I'll get to
Speaker 1: sell the top story. It's the top stuff in a moment.
Speaker 1: But Corey Seeger, of course, the one thing you'd even
Speaker 1: have on here. But Corey Singer was a rounding third
Speaker 1: base last night. Shraine is hamstring. Dave Roberts immediately after
Speaker 1: the game was like, yeah, he's got a very significant
Speaker 1: hamstring strain. They think it's even more than a Grade
Speaker 1: two with long the Virginia about it tomorrow. But Corey
Speaker 1: Seeger is going to be out for the next significant
Speaker 1: period of time, I would assume past the All Star break.
Speaker 1: And not a good look for Corey Seeger, very very unfortunate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was recently coming around as well, finally getting hot.
Speaker 1: That's what makes this even more frustrating. You look at
Speaker 1: in the month of June for Corey Seeger. Small sample
Speaker 1: size forty yet bats but a four twenty five batting average,
Speaker 1: one homer, nine ribbies. He had five home runs in
Speaker 1: the month of May as well, so the power starting
Speaker 1: to come around a little bit, and then gets hit
Speaker 1: with this hamstring injury, which seems like he's more than
Speaker 1: likely going to land on the I l Y. I'll
Speaker 1: just ask you the residual effects of this. If Corey
Speaker 1: Seeger is out, does that make Chris Taylor and everyday
Speaker 1: player again? Yes? It does, despite how he struggled this year,
Speaker 1: which means should he be owning in twelve team leagues again? No,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's been dumb enough to be owned
Speaker 1: in twelve team leagues. I think he's probably owned and
Speaker 1: only leagues if he's not like that's where I'm jumping in.
Speaker 1: Certainly fifteen team leagues. I'm jumping in because he's going
Speaker 1: to play every day, have a solid spot in the order,
Speaker 1: but he becomes everyday player, the every day short stop,
Speaker 1: and ultimately hopefully with a consistent playing time. He bounced
Speaker 1: his back and plays well. He's actually slacked off a
Speaker 1: little bit in June. Greg overall hasn't been a great year.
Speaker 1: From two planning average ps, but he did show signs
Speaker 1: in May. I remember talking about him that he was
Speaker 1: heating up a little bit in May. For Chris Taylor,
Speaker 1: he had three hundred with three homers and ten ribies
Speaker 1: and then kind of took a back seat here in
Speaker 1: June as well. So strikes me as one of these
Speaker 1: really shreeky players. But I think in deeper leagues, you know,
Speaker 1: if you lose out on a Chris Taylor, I mean,
Speaker 1: if you lose out on a Corey Seeger, then Chris
Speaker 1: Taylor looks like he's the next man up. Greg. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: So that's the biggest injury to go down last night.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, uh, that was Corey Seeger. A couple
Speaker 1: of other pitchers the Rania hit the aisle as I
Speaker 1: mentioned Jordan Lyles as well, but a lot of talking
Speaker 1: about players coming off the aisle hopefully soon, and that
Speaker 1: is some of our top stories. I mentioned Urani Yet,
Speaker 1: so we're seeing Jordan yellow Moto getting the opportunity to
Speaker 1: start here. UM four, Jose Irania in this rotation, he's
Speaker 1: on the phoney man. It's one of the reasons he's
Speaker 1: getting called up. He's making his debut. Came over in
Speaker 1: the Christian yellowsh deal. What should fantasy owners know about
Speaker 1: your yellow modo? Uh, he's in Double A right now
Speaker 1: and he is a middling prospect. He's not a top prospect.
Speaker 1: He was kind of more so one of the throw
Speaker 1: ins in the Christian Yellow Deal. He has performed well
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues. Three point seven five e r
Speaker 1: A in the minors with four nine strikeouts and four
Speaker 1: sixty three endings pitched. More so known for his curveball,
Speaker 1: it is a plus curveball. This is really frustrating that
Speaker 1: he's getting a call from Double A while Zach Gallen
Speaker 1: is completely destroying Triple A in the PCL. Mind you
Speaker 1: where home runs, isolated power power in general is just
Speaker 1: up crazy amounts in Triple A and in the minors
Speaker 1: this year, and Zack Gallen is just absolutely destroying it
Speaker 1: and doesn't get the call because he's not on the
Speaker 1: forty man roster. So situation to pay attention to. I
Speaker 1: still like stashing Zach Gallen, but Jordan Yamamoto just someone
Speaker 1: to pay attention to. Let's see what he does in
Speaker 1: his start tonight again plus curveball and this year in
Speaker 1: Double A hit a three point five eight e r
Speaker 1: a last year in double A. In three starts he
Speaker 1: had a two point one two ear A, So I
Speaker 1: don't think that he has the meant upside kind more
Speaker 1: so projects as a middle to back end rotation arm.
Speaker 1: But I think anytime you have someone who's getting called
Speaker 1: up that Marlins Park is their home park, Craig, you're
Speaker 1: at least interested in deeper league, So pay attention to
Speaker 1: Jordan Yamamoto. Jordan Yellamoto is somebody that could help your
Speaker 1: fantasy teams. It's crazy. I was just reading an article
Speaker 1: that like the Marlins rotations like the fifth best in
Speaker 1: the NL. They're good, but now they're beat up man
Speaker 1: with with both Urania Caleb Smith on the I L
Speaker 1: we'll see a yellooo can be and see if Zach
Speaker 1: Gallant will ultimately get the call for you Frank uh
Speaker 1: And the rotation is good. The hitting the bullpend not
Speaker 1: so much, but at least the Morons do seem to
Speaker 1: be going at least in the right direction. Speaking of
Speaker 1: young pitchers, Jess Lazardo and A. J. Puke finally made
Speaker 1: their debuts in the minors UH for the UH for
Speaker 1: the respective teams. Lozzardo, I'm more we're super super excited
Speaker 1: about him coming into the year. Him and Chris Paddock
Speaker 1: were the guys are on the same level, and basically
Speaker 1: as soon as one went, the other went in draft.
Speaker 1: Lazardo unfortunately hurts his shoulder towards end the spring, really
Speaker 1: was shut down for about two months. Ramp things up,
Speaker 1: pitched three shutout innings last night. Are you worried about
Speaker 1: the A's fast tracking him a little bit, bringing him
Speaker 1: back as a member of the bullpen, potentially stashing him
Speaker 1: in Triple A? Are you worried about that? Or are
Speaker 1: you looking at him as a player that was going
Speaker 1: to make the major league roster and we'll get the
Speaker 1: chance that he deserves to start. I think he will
Speaker 1: get the chance to start, Craig, because the Oakland A's
Speaker 1: make the playoffs last year, I think they have aspirations
Speaker 1: of making the playoffs again and making a run here,
Speaker 1: but their pitching staff has not been good. And you're
Speaker 1: right about Hazels Lozardo. He was on a similar plane
Speaker 1: as Chris Paddock, uh the lefty version. Let's call him that,
Speaker 1: the left of of Chris Paddock. Here in the American League,
Speaker 1: A lot of people liked him as a Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year candidate before he got hurt in spring training.
Speaker 1: Only twenty percent owned in YAHOO leagues right now, you know,
Speaker 1: I just mentioned Zack Gallen, and he's performed mightily at
Speaker 1: Triple A. But honestly, Lazardo might get the call up
Speaker 1: to the majors sooner than a guy like Zach Gallen.
Speaker 1: So if he's available in your league, Lozardo that is owned,
Speaker 1: I do expect him to be in the rotation. Um,
Speaker 1: let's say, if not late June, early July, Greg then
Speaker 1: they might hold him out until the second half of
Speaker 1: the season, but we could be looking at a potential
Speaker 1: top forty starting pitcher rest of season once he gets
Speaker 1: called up in the second half of the season. Uh.
Speaker 1: You look at his numbers in the minors. He's been
Speaker 1: awesome at every level. A two point five not two
Speaker 1: point four nine e r A in thirty four starts
Speaker 1: in Minor League level two and seventy nine, trickouts in
Speaker 1: A hundred and fifty five and two thirds and his
Speaker 1: Picture's a lot to like about Lozardo. When it comes
Speaker 1: to a j puck, I think he's probably more so
Speaker 1: destined for the bullpen. He might have a multi ending
Speaker 1: reliever role, something like Josh Hayter. I think he projects
Speaker 1: long term as being in the rotation, but I don't
Speaker 1: know that they're gonna rush him into that this year.
Speaker 1: I think Lozardo is gonna get a chance though. All Right,
Speaker 1: so Lozardo the name to watch. Also coming back from injury. Uh,
Speaker 1: not that we care about him, but Eric Skogland is
Speaker 1: coming back from Tommy John for the Royals. Just wanted
Speaker 1: to note that he had his first start for Kansas
Speaker 1: City in their minor league system last night as well.
Speaker 1: Picture that's not in the minors. That's not young or
Speaker 1: it's not as young as those guys. It's Mike Clevinger.
Speaker 1: He had to rehab assignment begin over the weekend, started
Speaker 1: last night as well, and cleve He's projected to start
Speaker 1: on Monday. Frank for the Cleveland Indians about that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is great news too because Clevinger was awesome to
Speaker 1: start the year at the major league levels. So in
Speaker 1: two starts he he had twenty two strikeouts and twelve
Speaker 1: innings pitched. We were really really excited about that, obviously.
Speaker 1: So the rehab going well for Clevinger. He's made uh
Speaker 1: two starts his first start wasn't as good. His second
Speaker 1: start goes five, and the third and he's pitched last
Speaker 1: night three hits, zero walks, five strikeouts, and it looks
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be ready to go Monday, which you know,
Speaker 1: if they play six or seven starts, i'd assume that
Speaker 1: he would have a double start. Normally, I would want
Speaker 1: to take a more cautious approach when it comes to
Speaker 1: someone that's just getting coming, just coming off the I
Speaker 1: l right away, I wouldn't have them in my lineup.
Speaker 1: But if he does have the two start week, then
Speaker 1: I might actually look to get Clevinger in there because
Speaker 1: we know what his upside is. So yeah, this is
Speaker 1: a huge boost for you know, people who lost him.
Speaker 1: He was being drafted as the top twenty starting pitcher
Speaker 1: and rightfully so it looked like he was going to
Speaker 1: take that next step in his first two starts of
Speaker 1: the season. This is just another huge boost coming back
Speaker 1: off the il Greggy. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, Clevinger finally making
Speaker 1: his way back. The Indians needed because he needs to
Speaker 1: have to figure out if they are buyers or sellers.
Speaker 1: We've heard about Trevor Bauer in trade talks for a while.
Speaker 1: The scene to go with Corey Kluber. The Indians I believe,
Speaker 1: are like ten and a half games back in the
Speaker 1: Al Central at the moment. They're gonna have to figure
Speaker 1: it out soon because they have a lot to offer.
Speaker 1: They could rebuild very very quickly. UH. With teams like
Speaker 1: the Yankees and others come calling looking for starting pitching,
Speaker 1: the Indians very well may be open for business. Speaking
Speaker 1: of the New York Yankees, Frank they're big Bombers, reiterated
Speaker 1: after last night's second game the double header. They're coming
Speaker 1: back because Jean Carlos Stanton started his rehab asigment yesterday
Speaker 1: went two for four in Single A with a home run.
Speaker 1: I believe I expect him to d H today and
Speaker 1: then move on to Triple A. If he goes to
Speaker 1: Triple A for a couple of games this weekend, he'll
Speaker 1: be back next Monday, theoretically, and that would be very
Speaker 1: very quickly for standing. When it comes to judge, he
Speaker 1: also could you start a rehab assignment this weekend, potentially
Speaker 1: in Scranton, and he could be back as soon as
Speaker 1: next weekend for the Bombers who are headed to London
Speaker 1: in about nine days. I think so I know the
Speaker 1: plan is yet both they want them. They want them
Speaker 1: for London. That's exactly they want both of them in
Speaker 1: the lineup for London. And if you waited and you
Speaker 1: survived without Stanton and Judge, as long as you can
Speaker 1: get through this rehab assignment, and that's not a guarantee
Speaker 1: as we've seen with Joan Carlos Stanton before, they're coming back. Yes,
Speaker 1: Stanton two or four last night hit a home run
Speaker 1: as well. Let's hope all is well when it comes
Speaker 1: to both of these sluggers. But yeah, we're looking at,
Speaker 1: you know, by maybe next weekend both of these guys
Speaker 1: in the lineup together, Greg and I think, you know,
Speaker 1: there's probably as good a time as ever to talk
Speaker 1: about who would be the biggest loser when it comes
Speaker 1: to Stanton and Aaron Judge getting back in the lineup
Speaker 1: because Guinn Fraser has performed well from an offensive perspective,
Speaker 1: which is all we care about for fantasy. Not not
Speaker 1: as good defensively obviously, but we know Aaron Hicks is
Speaker 1: gonna play center field for this team. I believe that
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge would play right field most days when he
Speaker 1: first returns. Hendrick Morales probably one of the first casualties
Speaker 1: to go here, is it? Is it Cameron Maybn that
Speaker 1: also gets cut here from the team, Greg Well, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna fade. I think I think I think it's
Speaker 1: one of them. I mean, when Stanton and Judge are
Speaker 1: both back, I think I think it's one of them
Speaker 1: because when stan say Stanton comes back first, mouse is gone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the first move and the next move when Judge
Speaker 1: goes back, it's either going to be Maybn or Fraser,
Speaker 1: one of them. It's not gonna be Clint Frasier, is it.
Speaker 1: I think it could be because when you have maybe
Speaker 1: you have a guy that's faster than Clint Fraser and
Speaker 1: plays better Fraser, you know you're not looking at a
Speaker 1: guy that's a better hitter. At that point you had
Speaker 1: your big boss. It's gonna be keussing here all over again.
Speaker 1: Greg Well, I think Keston here is a little bit
Speaker 1: different because usin here he was performing well. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the feeling issues Frasier has. True, and
Speaker 1: I think they want to showcase Clint Frasier play every
Speaker 1: day to potentially trade him. But they they've done that
Speaker 1: so far. They had You want to look like he's
Speaker 1: his trade value. I would agree with that, but you
Speaker 1: want him to keep playing, to continue to raise it.
Speaker 1: And the problem is he has absolutely nothing to prove
Speaker 1: in triple A, which is annoying. Like he's he's a
Speaker 1: major leaguer. Why Brett Gardner just go away? Is that?
Speaker 1: What is that? What happens? Does Brett Gardner has become
Speaker 1: a fourth outfielder. Sure, but you gonna have Judge, Stanton,
Speaker 1: Hicks and Gardner. That's it. Those four rotate. That's the answer. Frank,
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, so I so you could be looking at
Speaker 1: losing Clint Frasier here. Frustrating. Sorry, buddy, let's take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll get into what happened last night when we come back.

Speaker 1: on the BFF. Davis Magick s joining us about twenty
Speaker 1: minutes talking about some bestball football strategy, Frankie, and then
Speaker 1: you're getting into it, so we'll get some updates from
Speaker 1: Davis Maddock, who's running on NFL five package over rut
Speaker 1: Experts dot com. Let's get into some of the top
Speaker 1: Let's get into some of the top performance is from
Speaker 1: last night and give it all the home runs that
Speaker 1: were hitting Phildelpia two nights ago. It was easy to
Speaker 1: miss what Scott Kingery did not so much last night
Speaker 1: where he home again coming off the I L. He's
Speaker 1: been fantastic with five homers, two nine batting average, thirteen
Speaker 1: runs scored, twelve rivies and a stolen base as well.
Speaker 1: But frank you're a little bit nervous and not buying
Speaker 1: into this. You're not going all in. I like Scott Kingery,
Speaker 1: and it's a good ballpark and it's a good line
Speaker 1: up and he should be owned, but I will just
Speaker 1: cast him some people that I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: going to be able to keep up this type of
Speaker 1: production moving forward. He's got a two eighty nine batting
Speaker 1: average since he's returned on May nineteen from his injury,
Speaker 1: five homers, thirteen thirteen runs, twelve r bis and a
Speaker 1: stolen base. Expecting him to be a five category contributed
Speaker 1: last year it didn't work out. But during this band,
Speaker 1: Greg a five percent walk rate a twenty eight point
Speaker 1: eight percent strikeout rate to be fair, during this band,
Speaker 1: he's also hitting the ball extremely hard, as hard contact
Speaker 1: is massive, it's like over fifty percent. So we've seen
Speaker 1: guys that have these high strikeout rates, really really high
Speaker 1: strikeout rates, that are able to maintain a solid batting
Speaker 1: average a two seventy ish range, like an Arrand Judge,
Speaker 1: because when they make contact, they make really really hard contact.
Speaker 1: Scott Kingery not really the same body type as an
Speaker 1: Errand Judge. Not to say that, you know he's not
Speaker 1: a strong guy, but you can just tell he's not
Speaker 1: as physically imposing as someone as that. So I do
Speaker 1: question if he's gonna be able to maintain this type
Speaker 1: of hard contact whenever he makes contact, because he does
Speaker 1: strike out a lot. Don't really love to play discipline. Again,
Speaker 1: he should be owned, but I think you just have
Speaker 1: to temper expectations moving forward for someone like Scott Kingary. Again,
Speaker 1: good line up, good ballpark. I like the player, but
Speaker 1: I do want to see him improve his plate discipline
Speaker 1: as well. Greg, Yeah, Scott Kingary needs to improve that
Speaker 1: plate discipline, but I still think he's doing that the
Speaker 1: opportunity to play every day and as a young player,
Speaker 1: that's what he needs. And maybe these numbers will normalize
Speaker 1: a bit, maybe those strikeout percentage does come down, but
Speaker 1: he's performing a high level right now. I like what
Speaker 1: I'm seeing from Kingary personally. Another let's atually get in
Speaker 1: the Philis game. I was gonna move on, but let
Speaker 1: me get into this Phillies game. Um. From the last
Speaker 1: night there will been uh it's beat ups. Randing Dominie
Speaker 1: has probably headed for Tommy John which which is brutal.
Speaker 1: But last night through the Philadelphia Phillies, they were able
Speaker 1: to win this one four against Arizona and the willpen
Speaker 1: broke down like this. Wandakas I's the eighth Hector Narros
Speaker 1: pitched the nineties fourteenth saying he can't even courage gave
Speaker 1: Kapler anymore. Well, yeah, because he's finally listened to me. Greg.
Speaker 1: You know, I went on that rants the first couple
Speaker 1: of weeks of the season because Gabe kap are just
Speaker 1: so frustrating. A lot of managers in baseball are frustrating
Speaker 1: when it comes to their bullpen usage. A lot of
Speaker 1: matchups lefty, righty. We see that with the Minnesota Twins
Speaker 1: bullpen will get to that a little bit later on
Speaker 1: as well. They've been using a lot of Taylor Rogers,
Speaker 1: Blake Parker so and in the Tampa Bay Rays, you know,
Speaker 1: they mix and match with their bullpen. But Hector Narros
Speaker 1: has performed really, really well so far this year, and
Speaker 1: I think he should be He should continue to get
Speaker 1: the same opportunities phil the Phillies moving forward, a pretty
Speaker 1: damn good Phillies team, so he should be in position
Speaker 1: to save a lot of games. You pick this guy
Speaker 1: up off the waiver wire earlier on in the season,
Speaker 1: especially in deeper leagues, you were just hoping to get
Speaker 1: all right, if I can grab a couple of saves
Speaker 1: here a handful, maybe ten saves moving forward, because I
Speaker 1: know this Phillies bullpen is going to be frustrating. I
Speaker 1: think that you're gonna get a lot more than you
Speaker 1: expected moving forward from Hector Nearus. So shout out to
Speaker 1: Gabe Kapler. I know I bashed you earlier on in
Speaker 1: the season, but you're going with the with the best
Speaker 1: reliever in your pen right now, and that is Hector Neris,
Speaker 1: like I told you to do. Thank you for doing so.
Speaker 1: Hector nearis now up to fourteen saves on the season.
Speaker 1: Greg alrighty fourteen saves four Hector Nearest and when you
Speaker 1: can trust at this moment for the Philadelphia Phillis will
Speaker 1: see if they make a move at the deadline. I
Speaker 1: mentioned coming down the stair yesterday after the program, John
Speaker 1: Jay plants here for the Iris Are Diamondbacks. Didn't pitch
Speaker 1: well last night. Seven hits, four runs allowed in his
Speaker 1: three innings of work, not great for him. KENNL. Marte
Speaker 1: last night had seventeenth home run of the year, the
Speaker 1: third consecutive game that Marte has homeward for Arizona. He
Speaker 1: has been absolutely fantastic, batting to eighty with a three
Speaker 1: thirty on base percentage. It took Marte a while every
Speaker 1: day playing time, and I don't think anybody expecting him
Speaker 1: to hit like this. He also has three steels forty
Speaker 1: seven maybe he's forty two runs scored. He's been unbelievable
Speaker 1: for Arizona. Yeah, he has greg hard hit rate up
Speaker 1: tremendously this year forty four point seven percent, up from
Speaker 1: last year at thirty six percent. He's also raised his
Speaker 1: fly ball right, so he's lifting the ball more. And
Speaker 1: normally you look at a guy like Kettle Marte in
Speaker 1: years past, more so known for his speed, I'd never
Speaker 1: really expect him to take this huge jump in power,
Speaker 1: but you look at him this year, he's actually added
Speaker 1: some more way to were joking about it during the broadcast.
Speaker 1: He wears all these differ kind of elbow pads and
Speaker 1: and shitting guards and stuff. Kind of looks like a
Speaker 1: superhero up there, kind of like an Eric Thames almost
Speaker 1: just they wear all this different kind of padding. But
Speaker 1: he's really filled out. He's he's increased his power, his
Speaker 1: raw power, hitting the ball harder and raising it. So
Speaker 1: you know, shout out to two Diamondbacks this year in
Speaker 1: warro Escobar and Kettle Marte, guys that were going later
Speaker 1: on in drafts that have been two of the biggest
Speaker 1: steels in Fantasy bass ball so far this year. I
Speaker 1: don't really see any reason that Kettl Marte is going
Speaker 1: to decrease in production all that much either, because he
Speaker 1: doesn't strike out a lot strikeout rate. Again, he's hitting
Speaker 1: the ball harder, he's lifting the ball. There's not a
Speaker 1: lot that tells me that Kettl Marte is gonna regress
Speaker 1: all that much this season. Greg, So if you drafted
Speaker 1: him just one of the biggest breakouts so far in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, yeah, absolutely definitely qualifies where the best and
Speaker 1: biggest breakouts. Marte somebody that's or even on the waiver
Speaker 1: wire in the past, someone you thought add the skills
Speaker 1: to really produce. Finally nineteen, that is exactly what Kettel
Speaker 1: Marte is doing. Ozzi Alby is another one of these
Speaker 1: players that has broken out, and while it's been a
Speaker 1: bit up and down this year, frank were once again
Speaker 1: on the upswing when it comes to Azzi Alb's last night,
Speaker 1: the Braves were able to feat the Pirates and eight
Speaker 1: Intings rained out UH seven to five, and Azzi Alb's
Speaker 1: hit his tenth whole run of the season. That dows
Speaker 1: a bomb in the order betting two seventy three thirty VP.
Speaker 1: But it's been a good year overall for Azzi Albis,
Speaker 1: who has three homers in the last couple of games. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and last month Greg I was getting questions about people,
Speaker 1: should I drop Ausi Albis? He was dropped to my league?
Speaker 1: Should I add Aussie Albi's And it was a resounding yes,
Speaker 1: he should be added. He's gonna be a streaky player.
Speaker 1: We've seen that by now. I still really young. Last
Speaker 1: year awesome first half, dipped in the second half. Got
Speaker 1: off to an awesome start this year in the month
Speaker 1: of April, had a two eight batting average that month
Speaker 1: six home runs, twelve ribbies, two stolen bases, and then
Speaker 1: in May took a step back to thirty nine batting average,
Speaker 1: only one homer and in this month again three oh
Speaker 1: three batting average, three home runs, five ribbies and greg
Speaker 1: since May seventeen, so it has it wasn't all of May.
Speaker 1: It's it's you know, it was about half of May
Speaker 1: that he struggled. Since May seventeen on a three a
Speaker 1: three oh eight batting average A four oh four O
Speaker 1: b P A four eight seven slug thirteen point eight
Speaker 1: percent walk great, thirteen point eight percent strikeout rate. I
Speaker 1: love that plate discipline, not striking out as much, improving
Speaker 1: his eye. He's walking more the hard contact during that
Speaker 1: stretch from May seventeenth on forty four point eight percent,
Speaker 1: twenty nine percent line drive. Right on the season, his
Speaker 1: batting averages to seventy, expected batting average to eighty eight.
Speaker 1: That's actually his expected numbers are up a lot from
Speaker 1: last year as well. So he's taking the steps to
Speaker 1: move forward every year that he's been in the big leagues.
Speaker 1: And I said this about him last month Greg when
Speaker 1: he was struggling. I think Ozzie Albis is kind of
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what player he wants to be
Speaker 1: at the major league level. Does he want to be
Speaker 1: a line drive hitter who steals more basis? Does he
Speaker 1: want to hit for power? Because it seems like he's
Speaker 1: kind of going through an internal debate at times. I
Speaker 1: think that he does have the potential to be a
Speaker 1: type player. He's actually in the eighty five percentile in
Speaker 1: sprint speed as well. UH hasn't stolen as many bases
Speaker 1: as we've hoped, but you could see it. He has
Speaker 1: a little bit of pop in the bat, he has speed.
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of going through an internal debate
Speaker 1: of what kind of player wants to be, which right
Speaker 1: now looks like a shrieky one. Greg makes him better
Speaker 1: for Roto. But if he was dropped in your league,
Speaker 1: I mean totally, he shouldn't have been. Totally. Absolutely, he's
Speaker 1: too good, uh to be dropped in leagues. Too young,
Speaker 1: still improving, and while streaky, you gotta be there for
Speaker 1: the good streaks the braves. As we said, one, seven, five,
Speaker 1: and I saw so many of these. I know Florio's
Speaker 1: we did out Jake might have as well. The two
Speaker 1: Spider Man's facing each other, and did each of the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks with Chris Archer versus Mike versus
Speaker 1: Mike Folton Evitch, and you look, these lines are very
Speaker 1: very similar. Man five innings, five hits, four runs, four walks,
Speaker 1: five kys for Faulty six innings, eight hits, seven runs,
Speaker 1: two walks, eight cays at least for Archer. Archer allowed
Speaker 1: five freaking home runs last night, back to back. Donald
Speaker 1: Sendamarkkis took a batter off back to back mccannon Azzi Alvis.
Speaker 1: Just a disastrous season for Chris McCann again later one
Speaker 1: of the most terrible trades in recent memory, Greg, one
Speaker 1: of the worst changes. One of the worst trades that
Speaker 1: we have our worst calls as well. Yeah, look, I
Speaker 1: like Chris Archer coming into the year because you know,
Speaker 1: he's been um I think he was a little overvalue
Speaker 1: the past couple of years. The ear a has been
Speaker 1: over for the strikeout numbers have still been there for him.
Speaker 1: But you know, this year, heading into the season, I
Speaker 1: thought you could still get two hundred plus strikeouts from
Speaker 1: this guy if he can stay healthy. Now he hasn't
Speaker 1: been healthy, and when he's been on the field, strikeouts
Speaker 1: have been there, but the production has just been so bad.
Speaker 1: His ear ray near six at this point. Greg, you
Speaker 1: mentioned it five home runs last night. It's almost as
Speaker 1: if you have to try to give up five home
Speaker 1: runs if you're a starting pitcher in the major leagues.
Speaker 1: Actually just had someone tweet me right now and said,
Speaker 1: you know, if Josh Bell wants to perform in the
Speaker 1: Home run Derby this year, he could just have Chris
Speaker 1: Archer be his batting practice pitcher. Here That's that's who
Speaker 1: we're getting. He's walking a lot of guys and he's
Speaker 1: giving home giving up home runs. That's just a recipe
Speaker 1: for disaster. If you wanted to drop Chris Archer in
Speaker 1: a twelve team league, Greg, I don't think that I
Speaker 1: can fault someone for wanting to do that. In deeper leagues,
Speaker 1: I'm probably still holding out on because the waiver wires
Speaker 1: is so barren, Like I have him in fifteen team
Speaker 1: leagues and they're just not starting pitchers that are better
Speaker 1: than him that are out there. But if you're if
Speaker 1: you're out there in a twelve team league and you
Speaker 1: know you're excited about an Alex Ray is coming up
Speaker 1: or there there's another starting pitcher that has been performing well,
Speaker 1: I can't really fault someone for wanting to drop Chris
Speaker 1: Archer at this point, Craig, I want to drop Chris
Speaker 1: Archer Man. It's one of those guys where it's like
Speaker 1: a feel good drop, where not they deal with this
Speaker 1: crap anymore. Yeah, Like I think people are still gonna
Speaker 1: gravitate towards the name of him, Like if you drop him,
Speaker 1: someone else is probably going to pick him up, just
Speaker 1: based off of his name. Value, but it's just gonna
Speaker 1: end up being someone else's headache on the season. Man
Speaker 1: like the underlying numbers, at least in years past, like
Speaker 1: he's had the ERA slightly over four, and you could
Speaker 1: point to an x fit of you know, a mid
Speaker 1: three's and a sierra of mid three's. This year he's
Speaker 1: got a five seven three e r A. The x
Speaker 1: FIP is four seven six, the Sierra is four A two.
Speaker 1: It doesn't even say that he's gonna get that much better.
Speaker 1: It's it's just been a disastrous season. He's always struggled
Speaker 1: with with walks in his command. This year he's up
Speaker 1: to four point. I've three walks for nine. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's Robbie Ray's territory. Greg it is. You don't want
Speaker 1: to be in Robbie ray walks territory. You don't, You
Speaker 1: really don't. And I like, I'm looking at the waiver
Speaker 1: wire in the league that I own, uh, Chris archer In,
Speaker 1: and I don't even know to pick up, Like none
Speaker 1: of these guys. All these guys are terrible, you know,
Speaker 1: drop Michael Javis. That was interesting, Michael dropping all though
Speaker 1: he's really been bad, but he's been really bad. I
Speaker 1: tweeted about him over the weekend. Basically the past week
Speaker 1: or so, his strikeout rate is up over forty. He's
Speaker 1: he's really really lost at the plate, and he didn't
Speaker 1: play either last night or the night before, which is frustrating.
Speaker 1: But we saw his upside earlier on in the season.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I guess you see this with
Speaker 1: a lot of prospects, and you know we can talk
Speaker 1: about Eloy him and is too. Everyone's freaking out about
Speaker 1: Eloy now in the month of June. He's got a
Speaker 1: three thirteen batting average, three home runs, and ops over
Speaker 1: a thousand. So baseball players are going to be streaky.
Speaker 1: No one's gonna be awesome for a hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: two games. Even Mike Trout goes through slumps. He's gone
Speaker 1: through stump that has dropped his batting average below three
Speaker 1: d He's still Mike Trout. The counting stats are still awesome.
Speaker 1: No one's gonna be great all season long, and especially
Speaker 1: for a rookie. So Michael Javis is gonna struggle with
Speaker 1: the strikeouts, but the pop is legitimate from the middle
Speaker 1: infield and he's in a really good lineup. So me personally,
Speaker 1: I would I would probably hold out unless again, like
Speaker 1: if someone dropped someone who shouldn't have been dropped, like
Speaker 1: an Azzie Albi's, then yeah, you canna make a swap
Speaker 1: like that, but just drop Michael Tavis for like the
Speaker 1: flavor of the week. I'm probably not doing that because
Speaker 1: we've seen Michael Javis upside already. Yeah. Absolutely, uh, fair enough,
Speaker 1: let's go with me. Anything else I want to mention
Speaker 1: hell Ryan mckennat the two home runs. As I said,
Speaker 1: Donaldson also went deep when May that we mentioned yesterday,
Speaker 1: and he was My group of friends actually been talking
Speaker 1: about it. Is Eli, him and ELOI. It's been on
Speaker 1: an off season for him, which you should expect the
Speaker 1: young player. And this is exactly what happens. ELOI homer
Speaker 1: yesterday for the ninth time on the year. And then
Speaker 1: is his average not good? It's just to thirty nine
Speaker 1: or be also not good at two eight nine, And
Speaker 1: yet you look at Elo and you you want him
Speaker 1: to be better. In June he has been, Frankie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been. He's been tremendous in the month of June.
Speaker 1: Uh you know again, over three batting average, three home
Speaker 1: runs and ops over a thousand in the month of
Speaker 1: June seems like, you know, he's finally coming around a
Speaker 1: little bit. He's had to battle injuries. We saw a
Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy ft home run over the weekend.
Speaker 1: The guy has immense power. I'm not I'm not really
Speaker 1: worried when it comes to uh to. Elo himen is
Speaker 1: in the month of June at forty seven point eight
Speaker 1: percent hard hit rate a thirty nine percent fly ball
Speaker 1: rate as well. So again he's getting his legs underneath
Speaker 1: and he's dealt with the injuries. Elo Himenez is gonna
Speaker 1: be just fine, and your window to to buy low
Speaker 1: on him is closing rapidly, Like if you can still
Speaker 1: buy low on him, absolutely something I would try to
Speaker 1: do because you won't be able to do it for
Speaker 1: much longer. The last hitter we want to mention from
Speaker 1: last night, that will be we're done out. He predicted
Speaker 1: was gonna how and he did great. You know, I
Speaker 1: actually looked at Freddie Parlton's line last night and I said,
Speaker 1: this is so freakishly close to what I said it
Speaker 1: was gonna be on the show. I think, like yesterday
Speaker 1: I said, oh, this is the performance is gonna give
Speaker 1: you like six earned runs or three endings pitched. Well,
Speaker 1: it was pretty damn close to that great I believe
Speaker 1: it was. It was six earned runs over four endings pitched.
Speaker 1: Still give you the seven strikeouts. So if you want
Speaker 1: to get a silver lining at Freddie Parlta, he's he's
Speaker 1: not good. He's just too predictable. And with your Don
Speaker 1: Alvarez the home run that he actually came off of
Speaker 1: Matt Alberts, and if you were watching that at bat
Speaker 1: through him three straight changeups, struggled mightily on the first two,
Speaker 1: and then on the third one he adjusted and it
Speaker 1: was like a pitch way below the zone and just
Speaker 1: muscled it out to right field and hit a home run.
Speaker 1: I mean, those are the type of adjustments you want
Speaker 1: to see in the middle of a bat from a
Speaker 1: young player. So gets three straight changeups, struggles with the
Speaker 1: first two, sees a third one and just wax it
Speaker 1: out out of the park. And so a lot of
Speaker 1: people have actually been tweeting out the screenshot of the
Speaker 1: side view. I mean, this was a ball that should
Speaker 1: not have been hit a home run. Greg. It was
Speaker 1: a low pitch and it seemed like he was like
Speaker 1: like lunging for it. But the guy has legitimate power
Speaker 1: and this is this is what we should expect from
Speaker 1: your Don Alvarez. Moving forward to get hyped everyone, He's
Speaker 1: finally here and he's about to take off. I think
Speaker 1: he already has My friend Patrick Corban in that game
Speaker 1: with elohimte Is going back. Got rocked five innings, seven
Speaker 1: hits a loud, seven six hits a loud rather seven runs,
Speaker 1: a lot of a couple of home runs, including the
Speaker 1: one to Eloy as well as Wellington Castido with a
Speaker 1: grand slam in the bottom of the first in the
Speaker 1: Anthony Rendon here in this one had two home runs
Speaker 1: his thirteen and fourteen of the year. Yeah, Patrick Corbin
Speaker 1: A little bit worried about Patrick Corbyn right now. Over
Speaker 1: his last five starts has a six point eight seven
Speaker 1: e r a greg and his slider that was such
Speaker 1: a wipe out pitch for him last year has not
Speaker 1: been nearly as good, So I do have some concerns
Speaker 1: he's not getting as many whishs on that the isolated
Speaker 1: power is up against that slider and he relies on
Speaker 1: it a lot. I mean, this is a pitch that
Speaker 1: he throws thirty five to forty percent of the time.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have a great sinker. He like works in
Speaker 1: a change up. His fastball is not great either, So
Speaker 1: if a slider is not working for him, Greg, I
Speaker 1: don't really know what else he can go to. The
Speaker 1: walks are up for Patrick Corbin as well, So I
Speaker 1: was worried about him coming to the year. Remember I
Speaker 1: couldn't really pinpointed. I was thinking that he throws his
Speaker 1: slider so much that this might result in an injury.
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I don't want to speculate, maybe
Speaker 1: there's something going on, but you know, his past five starts,
Speaker 1: he he hasn't been great, and it's part it's partly
Speaker 1: due to his slider not being nearly as dominant as
Speaker 1: it was last year. And to be honest, I just
Speaker 1: don't know what else he can go to if not
Speaker 1: his slider, because it's his best pitch, Greg, So I
Speaker 1: do have some concern. Is a two star week next week?
Speaker 1: If he struggles again in those two starts, he's going
Speaker 1: to be someone that we're gonna be talking about benching
Speaker 1: moving forward until he can figure it out. Let's take
Speaker 1: a break. We're not dropping him though, No we're not. No,
Speaker 1: we're not dropping him I mean people get triggered happy.
Speaker 1: I was getting questions last month about Ozzie albums. There
Speaker 1: might be pep out there, like oh should I drop
Speaker 1: Patrick Corbyn? Do not drop Patrick Corby? Take a break,
Speaker 1: We'll come back. Davis Maddock on the other side as
Speaker 1: well of our best bets forever, We'll fly by twenty

Speaker 1: Bryan holl Uch, do you love this song? Seems like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you knew, there's no doubt that, Brian, Yeah, I'm do.
Speaker 1: I not like, are you saying that in my ear
Speaker 1: on the air? Sounds like it's in the ear. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wanted on the air because no one can understand
Speaker 1: the conversation that we're having with that. You responding, there
Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, so I'm not into this. No, as
Speaker 1: everyone knows, I'm not an E d M person like
Speaker 1: I feel like you were. You grew up in like
Speaker 1: the prime E d M era. I only really know VICI.
Speaker 1: I don't really know really, I'm not a big type
Speaker 1: of guy. He was a little bit more mainstream, I
Speaker 1: would say, to greggy popish, but it's still like E
Speaker 1: d M Technoi elements. I guess one person who I
Speaker 1: don't really see is liking Avici. That would be Davis Maddock,
Speaker 1: not man. How's it going, guys? How do you feel
Speaker 1: about a VICI? You know, I can I can dig
Speaker 1: it a little bit, like I would never listen to
Speaker 1: an E d M song of my own volition, and
Speaker 1: I'm not like mad when it's on, I'll take it.
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Yeah. I feel like, you know, it's
Speaker 1: probably most people like outside of actual like a d
Speaker 1: M lovers. Yeah, probably like all right, if I hear
Speaker 1: of ET song, like, I'll listen to it. You didn't
Speaker 1: make bad music, no, No No, you know what's really interesting.
Speaker 1: So like as we've gotten or we've gotten older, and
Speaker 1: like the hardcore E d M, at least my mind's
Speaker 1: kind of gone. So you're yeah, yeah, alright, continue. It's
Speaker 1: like it's been a little bit more mainstream type of music.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I kind of enjoy it, not
Speaker 1: like the hardcore DIUM. Yeah, the hardcore d M. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean you're a Jersey guy, Greg, you should be
Speaker 1: into it. Blow up man. All right, we're talking to
Speaker 1: Davis Maddock on the eve of the U S Open
Speaker 1: and shockolately enough, we're not even talking about golf, Davis,
Speaker 1: But I say you my team before we started. How
Speaker 1: do you like my team this weekend? I like it.
Speaker 1: You have you have a couple of the guys I'm
Speaker 1: really big on, including including Can't Lay. Can't Lay is
Speaker 1: definitely he's rounding into winning his first major championship. Really
Speaker 1: would not be surprised to see him walking away with
Speaker 1: it this week. Yeah, I agree, I think I think
Speaker 1: Can't Lay is very close and between Cantle and Adam Scott.
Speaker 1: I basically use your recommendations and the guys daily rod
Speaker 1: d com and then they make a team. And that's
Speaker 1: that's how I do. It's uh, that's my friends. Frankie.
Speaker 1: We you know, I don't really watch much golf, but
Speaker 1: I paid interest in majors. We do videos on it
Speaker 1: every week, and five of us in a group, we
Speaker 1: each picked six golfers in a draft and whoever is
Speaker 1: the lowest total scoring in the week wins. All right,
Speaker 1: So you're just throwing some darts here, Greg, So I'm
Speaker 1: doing well, You're using you're using the advice of people
Speaker 1: who actually know what they're talking about what they're talking
Speaker 1: about when it comes to golf. But David's feel free
Speaker 1: not to help Greig at all or answer him because
Speaker 1: if he goes wrong, he will definitely let you know
Speaker 1: about it. Well, I mean, fair enough. That's what you
Speaker 1: should always say. You should always hold people accountable. And
Speaker 1: they're giving you, they're giving you horrible information. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I never forget. Like Davis, we did the Master's preview
Speaker 1: for Fandel and he had like some crazy long shot
Speaker 1: like three ft one. I was like, you're what are
Speaker 1: you doing? You're just throwing? What are you doing? They won?
Speaker 1: This guy was winning the tournament. I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, David, you better be a million be it
Speaker 1: to the madness graz it was. I felt so good
Speaker 1: for him, and hopefully this week it's his boy Joel
Speaker 1: Damon that come was through and wins him some cash
Speaker 1: and wins uh this US Open Championship. Moving on from golf, though, Davis,
Speaker 1: your other full time job is working full roto expertce
Speaker 1: dot com NFL three and constantly producing content. And right
Speaker 1: now over at rotor Experts dot com, you're putting out
Speaker 1: information to help players with their Best Ball draft. Frankie,
Speaker 1: I know you have started playing bestball and you have questions. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I I basically am going to continue like once
Speaker 1: every best Ball draft that I'm doing, and so I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna start up a new one until we basically
Speaker 1: get to the start of the season because I like
Speaker 1: to see where players are going in a DP, trends
Speaker 1: and everything that's going on. Uh. The main question that
Speaker 1: I have right now when it comes to uh, Best Ball, Davis,
Speaker 1: is how are you handling Tyreek Hill? Especially when it
Speaker 1: comes to you know this this uh, this this huge
Speaker 1: concept that we have going on over at draft where um,
Speaker 1: you know, someone like Tyreek Hill can really really be
Speaker 1: a game changer obviously in Best Ball, but how are
Speaker 1: you handling the Tyreek Hill situation? McCole hardmen, a lot
Speaker 1: of people excited about him being drafted by the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Has electric speed, but when we don't know
Speaker 1: what's going to happen to a potentially suspended player, how
Speaker 1: are you handling a situation like that? Because we know
Speaker 1: that's how you Hill has amen upside on a week
Speaker 1: to week basis. So I just have not taken Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill yet, especially in the Best Ball Championship. I have
Speaker 1: avoided him. Those leagues do tend to be a little
Speaker 1: bit sharper, so he probably slides even later. You know
Speaker 1: in those in those drafts, you're probably not getting auto
Speaker 1: picks or the people who you know are not even
Speaker 1: aware that there is a suspension drafting in those. I
Speaker 1: am pretty invested in the other Chiefs wide receivers though,
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, DeMarcus Robinson, Micole Hardman. I've drafted all of them,
Speaker 1: you know, on over ten percent of my rosters. In particular,
Speaker 1: I think Sammy Watkins a DP is really intriguing. You know.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can get him in the fifth round early
Speaker 1: on in the off season, you could get him in
Speaker 1: the sixth round. Now in the fourth round, there's a
Speaker 1: little bit more of a question between him and you know,
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, Kenny Golladay, those kind two guys. But Mcole
Speaker 1: Hardman is a really interesting one to me because you
Speaker 1: can really get him, you know, kind of in the
Speaker 1: ninth tenth round, and then you can get to Marcus
Speaker 1: Robinson with your very last pick of the draft. So
Speaker 1: I actually have to Marcus Robinson on about twenty percent
Speaker 1: of my draft Beastball teams that I've done so far,
Speaker 1: because I sort of expect him to start the year
Speaker 1: as the outside boundary receiver across from Sammy Watkins and
Speaker 1: talking about that. That that huge tournament over on draft
Speaker 1: round now draft dot com you can check it out.
Speaker 1: You can also download the app, the draft app. It
Speaker 1: is a massive best ball tournament that basically you go
Speaker 1: throughout the season, greg and weeks one to twelve is
Speaker 1: the regular season, and then you have a you have
Speaker 1: playoff rounds weeks thirteen, quarterfinals weeks fourteen, semifinals week fifteen,
Speaker 1: and in the finals in weeks sixteen. I mean we're
Speaker 1: gonna have as many as a hundred and sixty five
Speaker 1: thousand entrants in this best ball tournament. It's twenty five
Speaker 1: dollar entry right now. So you play, you basically do
Speaker 1: a twelve team draft, Greig, and you're competing against everyone
Speaker 1: else and then who the highest scorers from those first
Speaker 1: twelve weeks are going to move on to playoff rounds.
Speaker 1: But there's like over three million dollars in prizes throughout
Speaker 1: this thing, so it's really really crazy. It's a big
Speaker 1: topic of conversation when it comes to Best Ball drafts
Speaker 1: right now. How many interests do you have in this
Speaker 1: so far? Davi's I think I've done five teams in
Speaker 1: the Best Ball Championship thus far, Like One of the
Speaker 1: things that we mentioned in our Ultimate Strategy Guide is
Speaker 1: that drafting early in these leagues does tend to be
Speaker 1: an advantage because you know, you have better odds of
Speaker 1: finding twenty nineteens James Conner, right, Like, the more information
Speaker 1: that you have before the rest of the crowd, the
Speaker 1: better your chances of building a unique roster with like
Speaker 1: a huge ADP value is. But pretty much every day
Speaker 1: I'm registering for you know, one, five, and and ten
Speaker 1: dollar slow drafts just because I love to always be
Speaker 1: getting those notifications. I love to be always making those picks.
Speaker 1: I I really want to have just a bunch of
Speaker 1: best ball teams to be tracking this year. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: wanna just constantly have these players to look at, constantly
Speaker 1: track and see ultimately where you do end up hopefully
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs and then try it and of
Speaker 1: course win that three million dollar prize at the end
Speaker 1: of it. We're talking to Davis Maddick here, oh Daily
Speaker 1: Rhodo dot com and Rhodo Expert dot com NFL package.
Speaker 1: Let's get into some strategy here, Davison. Now you don't
Speaker 1: want to reveal too much, but we're trying to help
Speaker 1: people out what is what have you learned. You've done
Speaker 1: five leagues so far, five teams. What have you learned
Speaker 1: thus far through your five drafts? Well, I've only I've
Speaker 1: done five in the Best Ball Championship. I've done like
Speaker 1: eighty of these, you know, outside of the Best Ball Championship.
Speaker 1: So I would say probably the biggest thing you learn
Speaker 1: and doing a bunch of drafts is what sort of
Speaker 1: early picks are going to lead to your other roster construction. So,
Speaker 1: for example, if you take Travis Kelsey at the beginning
Speaker 1: of round two, you know you're probably waiting super late
Speaker 1: to take a quarterback and you're probably only taking a
Speaker 1: set can tight end. Or if you miss out on
Speaker 1: a running back that you really like in the first
Speaker 1: and second round, there's not a ton of value in
Speaker 1: taking one of the guys that you only feel okay
Speaker 1: about in the third or fourth round. So you're probably
Speaker 1: gonna be going super wide receiver heavy early, and then
Speaker 1: really you might even take eight running backs uh and
Speaker 1: only go two quarterbacks, two tight ends and have a
Speaker 1: lower number of wide receivers. So, like what you what
Speaker 1: you learn through doing more drafts is just how to compete,
Speaker 1: how to complete rosters, that are set up to compete
Speaker 1: based on how the first couple of rounds go. Davis,
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong. These are eighteen round drafts. Correct, yeah, eighteen.
Speaker 1: You start one quarterback, to running backs, three wide receivers,
Speaker 1: one tight end, and a flex, no kicker, no defense.
Speaker 1: And for those who are wondering who we're out there watching,
Speaker 1: what is best ball? It's basically you know they they
Speaker 1: put out your optimal lineup weekend and week out. You
Speaker 1: don't have to sit your line up. So basically that's
Speaker 1: why you hear so many analysts doing massive amoun out
Speaker 1: of these best ball drafts because you don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about anything in season. It's literally you just draft
Speaker 1: and then throughout the season you earned fantasy points based
Speaker 1: on the highest scorers on your roster on a weekly basis. Davis,
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you how do you normally construct
Speaker 1: your teams? Because the way that I found myself doing
Speaker 1: it is in these eighteen round drafts, I usually end
Speaker 1: up with three quarterbacks, three tight ends, and in six
Speaker 1: each of running backs and wide receivers. Do you find
Speaker 1: yourself drafting more running backs and wide receivers than that
Speaker 1: and maybe going with like only two tight ends two quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: how do you normally handle the roster construction in best ball?
Speaker 1: So the math that we have done actually says that
Speaker 1: the three quarterback, three tight end strategy is bad. Those
Speaker 1: teams tend to win leagues less on average than teams
Speaker 1: that have five of those singular positions we call the
Speaker 1: quarterback and the tight end position ones position. So you're
Speaker 1: only starting one of the you're only required to start
Speaker 1: one of them per week. Tight End scores can actually
Speaker 1: count towards the flex, but you're really hurting your ceiling
Speaker 1: by drafting that third quarterback or that third tight end
Speaker 1: to make it six roster spots occupied by the quarterback
Speaker 1: and tight end positions. Ideally, you would like to have
Speaker 1: thirteen of your roster spots dedicated to running backs and
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And the maths suggests that you're probably best
Speaker 1: off with six running backs, seven wide receivers, two quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and three tight ends if you draft tight ends late,
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks and two tight ends. If you draft one
Speaker 1: of the stud tight ends early, all right, So that's
Speaker 1: good to know because I've basically been doing it wrong
Speaker 1: for a long time. So that's that's why we have
Speaker 1: Davis on here to help out everybody with the best
Speaker 1: with their best ball strategy, but specifically to help me
Speaker 1: as well. Davis, we gotta get a few sleepers in
Speaker 1: here before we let you go. Who are some of
Speaker 1: your top guys that are going later on in drafts?
Speaker 1: So some of the guys that I really like going
Speaker 1: on later than the drafts. At quarterback, I'm taking Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston and Dak Prescott, both of them after round ten
Speaker 1: at a pretty heavy clip. At wide receiver, one of
Speaker 1: the guys I really looking at is Curtis Samuel from Carolina.
Speaker 1: He's really gonna step into that, uh that wide receiver
Speaker 1: to role and what I project to be a pretty
Speaker 1: good offense this year. Another thing I really like to
Speaker 1: do with the wide receiver position is take Josh Allen
Speaker 1: a little bit later and then pair him with one
Speaker 1: of John Brown or Robert Foster. Both of those guys
Speaker 1: are are basically free uh super deep sleeper. A guy
Speaker 1: I've taken a couple of times, Dylan cantreill E running
Speaker 1: out projects to be the third wide receiver in San Diego,
Speaker 1: which is over the last four years been a role
Speaker 1: that brings about sixty five to seventy five targets per year,
Speaker 1: but a pretty high touchdown role for a for that
Speaker 1: low volume. So that's another guy that I really like.
Speaker 1: And at tight end, a guy that really doesn't even
Speaker 1: go drafted in a lot of these is Ricky Seals Jones.
Speaker 1: I actually have him projected for more playing time and
Speaker 1: more targets than Charles Clay. A lot of other fantasy
Speaker 1: websites have that projected backwards, but looking at the Arizona offense,
Speaker 1: it doesn't really make much sense to have, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of a slow plotting run blocker like like Charles
Speaker 1: Clay in there. And Ricky Seals Jones actually finished seventh
Speaker 1: at tight end last year in air yards despite playing
Speaker 1: in that horrible Mike McCoy offense. So I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a starter from week one on in
Speaker 1: what should be one of the most past heavy offenses
Speaker 1: in football. Davis Maddick Daily, Rhoder dot Com, and of

Speaker 1: the Window is next with Sean Gass the makia stick
Speaker 1: around for is that Sean and at the Window coming
Speaker 1: up next, Freggy. It's time to getting to our best
Speaker 1: bets forever. Yesterday, okay day, it wasn't our best wasn't
Speaker 1: or worst? We now, Houston, obviously that was a gimme,
Speaker 1: not we You alright, keep saying we a team. It's
Speaker 1: just you. We're a team. I don't just take credit, man,
Speaker 1: We're a team effort. I'll take credit one, right, that's fine.
Speaker 1: I try to make it a team effort. Houston was
Speaker 1: an easy one for us. Unfortunately, we got very very
Speaker 1: close with the Bull and Detroit that didn't work out
Speaker 1: your pick, Frankie of Louise Castial, I believe with the
Speaker 1: extra inning, so you were right there too. That was
Speaker 1: a close game. Two pictures duel between Trevor Bauer and
Speaker 1: Louise Castio. Both guys pitched really, really well. I thought
Speaker 1: that the Cincinnati Reds offense might be able to muster
Speaker 1: up a little bit more against Trevor Bauer, especially considering
Speaker 1: that he walked five batters yesterday. So that was a
Speaker 1: little bit disappointing. But it was a close game. But
Speaker 1: you know what, you don't win any money for coming close, Greggy,
Speaker 1: unless you play horse shoes, of course, you do not
Speaker 1: win money for coming close. So we went won for
Speaker 1: three yesterday. Frank Let's turn it around today. What is
Speaker 1: your best bet forever? I actually have tooth that I
Speaker 1: really like. There's two sides that I like in there,
Speaker 1: pretty decent favorites. So I don't really love doing this,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna see exact Efflyin and the Phillies at
Speaker 1: minus one forty four. He's performed much better at home
Speaker 1: this year, while Merrill Kelly has been a disaster on
Speaker 1: the road. We actually spoke about that on Monday with
Speaker 1: Matt Modica so zac Eflyn and the Phillies money line
Speaker 1: at minus one forty four. I also like Joey luke
Speaker 1: Casey and the San Diego Padres going into San Francisco
Speaker 1: against Sean Anderson and the Giants. You get the Padres
Speaker 1: money line at minus one thirty two. So I like
Speaker 1: both of those. You can play them separately. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be opposed to parlaying these two together. And if you
Speaker 1: do that, Greg, you get it at plus one nineties seven.
Speaker 1: That's the Phillies and the Padres tonight. I like both
Speaker 1: of those winners. All right. There you go, the Padres
Speaker 1: in there. I like Joliy lu Casey probably the best,
Speaker 1: and the Phillies. You like their money line as a
Speaker 1: winner minus one four. I was look at that Phillies
Speaker 1: game as well. Lu Casey certainly stands out to me.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find something else that I really like,
Speaker 1: not necessarily finding it, to be totally honest with you,
Speaker 1: um something calling out to me. The only thing I
Speaker 1: kind of for whatever reason, I'm having a gut feeling
Speaker 1: about what you got. Tell me it's not the Orios total.
Speaker 1: Not going with the Orioles total. I am going with
Speaker 1: the total. I'm going back to my total. Well, and
Speaker 1: it's in that Battle of Ohio game between the Reds
Speaker 1: and the Indians exactly sac and that eight asks laugh
Speaker 1: on you know it's at nine and a half Police
Speaker 1: that pitch pretty well against the Yankees des Lafani. We're
Speaker 1: always questioning. But for whatever reason, I like the over
Speaker 1: I don't know why. That's what my gut's telling me.
Speaker 1: Your gut, rereg Susman's gut. Go with the gut. Go
Speaker 1: over nine and a half. Over nine and a halfs
Speaker 1: a lot of runs. The only way you're gonna know
Speaker 1: that is if you're listening to this on demand literally
Speaker 1: five minutes before the game starts, because it's at one time.
Speaker 1: So I'm not allowed to say that one. Now we'll
Speaker 1: put it on the record for you. Great record. It's
Speaker 1: on the record. Man. How about how about this Cubs
Speaker 1: and Rockies games over by the Ways plus one hundred,
Speaker 1: so it is the underdog the Cups and Rockies. Greg.
Speaker 1: I know it's in corps Field. The total is massive
Speaker 1: at twelve, man, dare mess with the under I don't
Speaker 1: message on, don't mess with undersons field. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm kind of getting trapped here the same
Speaker 1: way you got trapped for the for the Orioles and
Speaker 1: Rangers game a couple of weeks ago. But well, speaking
Speaker 1: of the Orioles, though, David Hess Edwin Jackson, is there
Speaker 1: a number that's high enough? This is a big number,
Speaker 1: it's so big, it's ten and a half. But you
Speaker 1: should probably take the over right, there's no number. And
Speaker 1: when Jackson there was a quote over the weekend, I
Speaker 1: actually feel bad for him. I feel bad for the
Speaker 1: Blue Days to um after his last start where he
Speaker 1: got rocked Greg They asked the Blue Jays manager believe
Speaker 1: Charlie Montoya. They said, will Edwin Jackson be in the
Speaker 1: rotation for another girl around because he's been so bad? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so in effective bad. He said, quote, we just don't
Speaker 1: have anybody. We just don't have anybody to pitch. Not
Speaker 1: really a re endorsement for Edwin Jackson. Bad for the
Speaker 1: guy you know once through a no hitter. I mean
Speaker 1: you can he's come along like eight walks or something
Speaker 1: that that's I want to think Davis Maddock for joining us,
Speaker 1: and one of think Alex and the Eyes downstairs for
Speaker 1: all of their help, and Brian as well, so we
Speaker 1: appreciate it. For Fanks Neville, I'm Greg Susman. We'll see
