Yeah, another brutal, 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.920 brutal injury, Greggy Fred Turner. This time we'll talk about 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.520 that obviously. Uh, Chris snefe velocity seems to be a 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.440 huge story right now as well before before all that, Greg, 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.080 how did you sleep last night, Buddy? I slept pretty well. 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.560 I woke up once like an hour into my my slumber. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.440 I thought it was like I thought it was one 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.360 of those like four or five am wake ups. I 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.640 turned to it was like twelve thirty, Like this is strange. Um, 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.039 not really. I went to bed at like love thirty 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:51.120 was literally like an hour later. Um. And then then 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.760 it was fine. After that it was pretty good. How 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:57.800 about yourself? It could have been better. He is starting 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.000 to attack me again a lot in sleep, so I 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.520 think I gotta woke up. I had to like lay 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:04.960 down the law a little bit, put her back in 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:09.480 time out a little bit because she, um, she's a 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.320 big cuddler and it's affecting my sleep. Greg. We're at 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.359 the point where it's affecting my sleep. So it's not good. 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.919 Not good. You know, I'm not a morning guy already, 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.640 as it is very hard to get out of bed 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.239 for me, you know, I think Judy, it is like 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.920 she was snoring about we're still embraced, and I let 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.840 go and then she rolled over like a perfect great job, Greggy, 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:28.840 we have I mean, listen, it's the system. The system. 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.639 It's been pretty efficient for a long time now. No 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.040 things are good. I'm happen here that buddy. Yeah, I 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.560 can hear that. You know, it's crazy last night. I 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.960 don't know what it is, but this is just nothing 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:41.640 that she wants to watch on TV at the moment. 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.320 So I just watched like Chris Sale against the A's No, no, 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.919 we watched the Yankees. I'm sorry. Then we watched the 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.880 Phillies and Nats because she's a Philly fan, which is awesome. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.880 So I thought we saw Bryce. It was it was fun, 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.120 which was all. Watched the Mets a little bit. It 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.760 was like it was like a whole lot of baseball, 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:03.760 and I'm just like, this is crazy Gregy watching baseball. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:08.280 Quote crazy, No, just being gonna watch so much different baseball. Yeah, yeah, 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.760 that's what I tried. That's what I try to get 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.880 through every night. I'll carve out a little bit of 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.280 time to obviously spend with KINGO, watch a couple of 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.720 shows or whatever. But then it's, uh, it's right back. 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.440 I was watching a lot of that Chris Sale last night, 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.960 and it's scary. Man. We're what a weird time right 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.480 now for Chris Sale on the Boston Red Sox. We 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.519 are we're gonna talking more about that coming up until 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.160 twenty where we'll have a Boston beat writer on to 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.360 to break that down for us, and then really the 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.400 Red Sox struggles in general as they just haven't been 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.640 able to hit Mookie Betts, J D. Martinez and Andrew 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.560 Ben attending the rest. When you're getting shut out by 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.320 Aaron Brooks and Mike Fires, some of this are wrong, weird. 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:51.760 We might have a little world series hangover here going 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.080 on for the Boston Red Sox again. Aaron Brooks and 0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:56.200 Mike Fires. You know, if you told me it was 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.400 like Snell Charlie Morton, all right, you know, maybe I 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.840 can understand that a little bit more. But Aaron Brooks 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:08.440 like Fires, it is a little bit worrisome to me. 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.040 The biggest story obviously, Trade Turner and Chris Sale get 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:13.880 into that Velocity will ask him about it. It is 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:17.680 it's Sean McAdam falm on Twitter at Shawn Underscore. McAdam 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.599 of the Boston Sports Journal will have him coming up 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.520 at twelve so interested to see uh and hear what 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.200 he has to say. I thought, I thought it was interesting, 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.640 um that Crystal, Chrissell and the Velocity remains the top 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.880 stories in fantasy baseball, and I get it, But the velosophy, 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.920 if I'm not stay was up last night, Wasn't that? 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.560 So like he's high was up from where the where 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.440 his previous start wasn't that? No, he was hitting in 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.480 his first start, so I thought he reached that again 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.960 last night. Oh No, he did his max last night 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.880 was and he was averaging eighty nine point one miles 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.799 per hour, which is his lowest for an entire start, 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:59.320 eating back to Okay, so not good, Greg, And I'll 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:00.960 just let you know. Look, everything that I've read to 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.960 this point is that this is something that he's consciously doing, 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.720 that they're slowly ramping him up, and that after the 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.320 first start they wanted him to dial it back a 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.680 little bit. I mean, there's dialing it back and then 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.800 there's eighty nine per hour, Greg, And that's a little 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.080 bit different. The fact that he only had six swinging strikes. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.839 I can see Oakland A's the night before David Price 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.960 had like fourteen fifteen swinging strikes. Chris Tale had six. 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.560 He allows one and run alright, great fun one strikeout. 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.520 I don't know, man, I don't know. That's what we're 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.160 gonna tell Sean McAdam about, uh and and find out 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.000 where where he is on that and how worried Fantasy 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:39.400 owners should be the big story. As you reference at 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.000 the top, franc that was trades Hardner in this Phillies game. 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:43.960 This Phillies Nats game was the story of the night, 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:45.960 was the game of the night. As Bryce Harper made 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.200 his return to Philly, returned to Washington rather amongst a 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.640 chorus of booze and every Philly game now seems like 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.480 a rock show, and they hit mac shows or they 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.840 got up to nothing exact. Definitely, I want to get 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.279 to in a second. Was wonderful. And then Bryce Harper 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.920 hit the bomb hern around the world and just did 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.920 a monster baff flip. It was awesome, and Phil is 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.560 right away with it. Yeah, it was an awesome game. 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.320 I was watching some of that. The first couple of 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.080 battles between Scherzer and Bryce Harper were awesome. That was 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.280 worth the price of admission alone. I was. I was 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:21.400 watching the Nationals broadcast and honestly, one of the broadcasters 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.400 was just saying, I'm gonna sit back and let you 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.240 take this one. Man. I'm just gonna I'm just gonna 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.720 watch like a fan. I want to enjoy this. And 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.000 you know they mentioned that it felt like October baseball. 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.120 It's only April two last night, so it really did 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.320 have that feel. I mean, these are games that obviously 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.880 matter a lot. Now I could matter even more so. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.480 Uh you know, come around October September if these two 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:44.200 teams are in the race. But Rice Harper later on, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.280 you see the majestic home run. The bat flip was amazing. 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:52.119 Trade Turner injury though. Man, it's like he's the second 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.720 batter of the game. I understand he's super fast. Why 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:57.640 are you trying to bunt there? Greg? Why are you 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.320 trying to bunk that? And understand like you're asked, you 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:01.839 know you want to try and bump for hit. Okay, 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:03.800 what Trey Turner coming off a game where he hit 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.240 two home runs? It's a game winning home run, a 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.360 walk off home run like this guy, I don't know, 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.040 It's just li doesn't seem necessary to me. His his 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.840 role is is a table center for the guys behind him, 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.040 and that that's why it's very simple. He has that speed. 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.840 You're defending him because you're the table center for your 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:24.520 kickboxing team and kickball team all team, and you would 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.720 do the same thing you bought. I mean that's his role. 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.640 I think he knows his role and shuts his mouth, 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.240 and now he's on the unfortunately now on the I 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:35.920 l yeah, well this is it is brutal, Greg, obviously 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.400 a brutal loss. I mean, and there's no replacing him, 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.280 but we will try and we could try and give 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.640 you some same with Danny Murphy. But it's like, Okay, 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.120 wilmur Dafoe is going to fill in for him right now, 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.640 And I know they have a prospect. He's not coming up. Yeah, 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.440 he's not coming up yet. He's not Yeah, he's not 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.840 coming up yet. I mean, you know what he's gonna 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.640 give you. He doesn't. He doesn't offer much upside for fantasy. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.280 Last year he played a decent amount. He had four 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.560 and fifty six plate appearances. He had seven home runs, 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:08.640 hen stolen basis he hit two thirty. So a little 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.040 bit of pop, a little bit of speed, nothing crazy here. 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.160 So it's not gonna come from within. It's not gonna 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.120 come from the Uh. It's not gonna come from the 0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:20.160 Washington Nationals here. Uh. In Wolmer, Dafoe and the line 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:21.600 up as already out today, Greg, I thought there was 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.560 a pretty good chance that they can move Victor robolists 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.880 up in the lineup. It's Brian Doser who was hitting second, 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:28.560 and you know, he's hit at the top of the 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.040 lineup for a large majority of his career, you know, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.800 to his days with the Minnesota Twins. So it's still 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.560 Adam eating leading off, it's still it's now Brian does 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.040 are batting second, Victor Robot still batting ninth. I thought 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:40.199 there was a chance that he can move up in 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:45.280 the lineup. Greg Um, Yeah, and I think that. I 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.040 think it's a obvious thought. We talked about that a lot. 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:49.840 Thatd be a matter of time before Adam Eaton got 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:51.400 hurt and Victor robolists and we have a lot of 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.120 unfortunately with Tray Charterer that got hurt. Roby is still 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.600 batting nine. And we'll see how long this last. We'll 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.079 see what Dave Martinez oltenly decided to do with his 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.280 line up. And speaking a lot ups, Todd's a lucky 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.240 Who's a Phillies beat writer that tweeted out a little 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.959 while ago that Gay Capitals used the same lineup for 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.160 the first five games of the season for the Phillies. 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.360 He didn't use any lineup five times last year. More 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.840 than five times last year Yeah, Yeah, that's insane. Look, 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.040 it's everything kind of everyone kind of fits there. They're 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.120 placed in that lineup right now. It's it's a great 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:25.400 line up. We said that coming in. Look Cutchen as 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.880 their leadoff hitter, he's got great eye at the plate. 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:32.160 He's gonna have an Ohio BP, Jean Sagura obviously speed 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.400 at the top of the lineup, Bryce Reese Hoskins. They're 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.439 very selective hitters. Everyone just fits what they're supposed to do. 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.079 And even Michael Franko all the way down at the 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.360 bottom of the lineup. He's been awesome. Greg. I mean, 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.959 you know, he's been mashing already, hits a home runoff 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.319 Max Scherzer yesterday and then he had a few walks 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.360 after that as well. It wouldn't be surprised if we 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.800 see him move up in the lineup at some point. 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:55.559 But another thing that I've heard talked about a lot 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.679 um throughout these games with the Nashville and the Phillies 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:02.160 is remember like last year Odopo Horrero was their number 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:05.599 three hitter. He's now their number six hitters. Like, like, 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.679 that's how deep this lineup is right now. So it 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.559 just goes to show you where they're at, how good 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.560 they are, and uh, I don't think they should really 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.800 change anything the way that they're playing right now. And 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:16.920 I agree that there's how does any human baseball and 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.199 a lot of that, um, well, they're the hottesteam basically 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.599 four now, um and a lot of that certainly is 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.840 how good Mike Keilla Franco's gonna be, who's really has 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.160 no room to move over the line up, which is 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.199 kind of frustrating and as great as he is that 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.719 he's a eight for thirteen to start off the year, Um, 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.520 you're the lineup guy, like sort of you can move 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.079 along to six though, right if he keeps mashing, can't you? 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.360 If you want to break up the lefties and the righties, 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.680 I get it right because they look today's lineup aslready 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.599 out there playing at one o'clock cutch In, Sigura, Harper, Hoskins, 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.320 Real Mutto. That's not changing and rightfully so that's their 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.480 top five. But o'doopo Horrera hasn't done much so far, 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.640 and he's batting six, and understanding he's a lefty, so 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.360 you might want to break up the two rightis with 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:01.400 Hoskins and Real Muto. Fourth and fifth. But Michael Franko 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.199 the way that he's swinging the bat right now, I 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.120 could I could see him moving up to six, and 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.880 then maybe you put o'double at at seven and you know, 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.000 maybe back the picture eighth and sees an end of 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.120 his ninth and do something similar to what the Nationals 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.280 are doing. But I do think that there's a chance 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.400 that if Franco keeps swinging the bat the way he is, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:18.920 he can move up to six in this lineup. Greg 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.760 all right, we'll see. We'll see if kape Haffler ultimately 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.599 makes that happen. It's talking about pitching frank in this 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.920 game as Max Scherzer nine more strikeouts, pitch well but 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.360 high pitch count, five innings, five intes lets, two runs 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.640 when we're earned, struck out nine, as I said, he 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.719 got out pitched by Zach Eflin, who strug out nine 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:38.960 batters uh in these games himself hiding trying a career 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.760 high for Eflin. He only walked one. He seemed dominant 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.280 a lot of the night. He was very good. The 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.959 strikeouts were there. He had twelve swinging strikes. He was 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.679 basically fastball slider a lot in this game. Greggy threw 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.199 eighty two pitches. UH Sixty four of those came on 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.640 his four seam and his slider combined only through his 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.679 change of four times, with three out of four of 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.200 those we're swinging strike. So maybe he starts to use 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.959 to change up a little bit more. He used it 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.200 more last season as well. I want to pay attention 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.280 to the velocity for zach Eflyn because the average ninety 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:11.240 two point eight miles per last night and last year 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.640 went with the velo spike that we were all talking 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.360 about in the In the preseason. In spring training, he 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:19.719 was up over ninety four regularly. Nine point three was 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.120 his average fastball velocity, so last night it was two 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:26.000 point eight, but drizzling a little bit last night. It's 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.000 his first start of the season, so I think he 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.000 can ramp up. I don't want to buy too much 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.960 into this because I want to see the fastball velocity 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.360 take up a little bit. But if you are stashing him, 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.400 I used to be owning in fifteen team leagues, I'm 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.120 not ready to say he's a muscle player in twelve 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.439 team league. I don't know man like. So I drafted 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.760 at the end of a twelve team draft and there 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.280 was a lot of upside when it came to zach Ef. 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.040 I like him, People were excited about him. He's obviously 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:51.480 on a very good team, the Nationals. A lot of 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:54.280 it is a good lineup. And even though he only 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.319 drawed up right now, is he didn't reach the velocity 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.480 were hoping for. Walks were limited, strikeouts were there. There's 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:02.800 a lot to like right now, is Jack Ethlin? Yeah? Yeah, 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.840 And I don't want to downplay that. Look nine strikeouts 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:07.320 to one walk over five innings and limiting the Nationals 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.160 lineup to zero runs. It's great. It's a great feat. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.920 But I think there's a lot of many pitchers two 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:16.800 he could have. I know he got pitched hit four five. 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.480 He got pitch hit four in the top of the six. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.000 Is why he came out, and they were gonna push 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.199 him once past eighty five minutes first started. It's probably 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.760 not only owned in twenty seven percent of Yahoo leaguess 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.400 right now, that should probably be I think that should 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.200 be higher. That should probably be higher. But in terms 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.319 of all the other starting pictures we've talked about, Greg, 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.040 I still think I'd rather own some of those guys maybe, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:39.120 but Hablo Lopez, I would say Orban Burns, I would 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:44.120 take him. I don't Ki Mantas, I don't know. He's 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.240 right there. He's I think he's right there, like I understand, 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.800 like the stuff is better than a guy like Corbyn Burns. 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.839 And we're all EU side of my Frankie Mantas. Elan's good. 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:52.800 People have underrated him for a while. I like him too. 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.680 I like him to. I just think, you know, there's 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.640 a lot of starting pitchers right now that people are 0:13:56.679 --> 0:13:58.599 excited about and want to add. So it's you know, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.719 you gotta figure out people to rob. You only have 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.120 so many bench spots as well. So yes, I want 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.640 to stash zach Ethlyn and I like him, but there's 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.200 a lot of starting pitchers that people want to add 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:09.760 right now. And I think that there's a few names 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.920 just for me that I have ranked ahead of him 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.120 in terms of who I would rather own. Fantasy as 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.400 another one, jordan'sim Run. We don't have to get it. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:18.520 You want to get into him now or you want 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.520 to get into him later. I'm a little intrigued by 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.560 Jordan's what he's done the first two games thirteen point 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.600 to u endings pitched. He's allowed one ear and run, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.920 and he's actually throwing his curveball more more and throwing 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.720 his fastball less, so you can do. He's gotta double. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.200 He's gotta to start week next week, Greg, and he 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:39.640 faces the Indians. Indians suck. They do the Indians and 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.800 at the Twins. The Twins line up is very good, 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:44.400 but it's still very cold in Minnesota. The ball is 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.560 not flying out there. And they learned this about jordansim 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:51.200 Run last night Greg via the Yankees broadcast. He's from Wisconsin, 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.440 so the cold doesn't face him, so he can pitch 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.720 well in Minnesota. He's wearing short sleeves yesterday and whatever, 0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.800 it was forty five degree weather in the Yankee game. 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.200 A little fun facts there for for Jordan's Immerman. I 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.000 know it feels like we do with Jordan's Immerman thing 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:11.440 every year. I can't say I'm very interested. Perfectly. I 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:12.720 put in a few bids on him in some of 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:16.920 my leagues. How does that feel? Not great? But to 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.520 start a week next week, the Indians are bad, as 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.600 I've said, you know off stream, you pitching against the 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:27.240 Cleveland Indians, So Jordan'szimmerman should be able to have some success. 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:35.520 Uh yeah, so anyway, Nationals Phillies, Bryce Harper, what do 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.600 you think the Majestic Bomb? Oh was sick. The bad 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.920 flip was what made it. It was awesome. And I 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.120 texted you this last night after it hits the home 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.840 run and it. Drafted Aaron Judge in the main event 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.560 and all draft season I was talking about how I 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.520 had Bryce Harper ranked higher than Aaron Judge. I had 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:56.400 him ranked as my UH for No. Right behind Christian 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.560 yellow Acuna and JD Martinez like that first round group 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.240 right after him. I had Bryce Harper up. The reason 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:04.120 I didn't draft him in the main event in the 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.680 NFBC Main Event was because he got hit the day 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.120 before and his ankle with a pitch. I didn't really 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.160 have a lot of information, so I pivot and I 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:14.760 go with Aaron Judge. It's still very early, but you know, 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.760 first week of the season, I'm kicking myself a little 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.880 bit because I love Bryce Harper coming into the year 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.880 and it was easy to see, you know, what his 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:25.080 upside could be playing in Philadelphia in that lineup, and 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.400 so far, you know, he's done everything you could ask. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:28.960 A lot of people got him in the second round 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.080 of drafts and he could turn out to be one 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.720 of the one of the steels of the year. Greg. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.560 You know, if he hits home runs in the middle 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.440 of that line up, he's gonna drive in over a hundred. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.920 You got to see the batting average bounce back, but 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:41.800 it did in the second half last year. He had 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:45.520 over three hundred and second half last season just more 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:47.520 Bryce Harper and I'm a huge fan. Obviously I have 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.160 his jersey, So it sucks. It sucks that I didn't 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:52.920 end up with him there. It sucks he didn't end 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:54.880 up with him there, and it sucks about trade Turner. 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.800 What also sucks Chrysale, the Velocity and the Boston Red Sox. 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:00.600 Right now, when we come back with talk the Sean 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.840 McAdam and we'll find out how concerned fantasy owners should be. 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.800 Is Yankee fans concerned?

Back with you on the Fantasy Best 0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:41.840 Friends Forever Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Frank Staffle, Greg Suspen. Uh, 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.760 that's your BFS. We wants to get into Chris Sale 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.399 to do that. You're joined now from the Boston Sports 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:52.240 Journal is Sean McCowen. What's going on, Sean? How are you? 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.760 We're doing well, sir? How are you good? Thing? So 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.000 the big story for us and fantasy owners are like, 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:01.200 and I'm sure Boston reads Ox fans as well, he's 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:03.920 a performance of Chris All who the first few two 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:05.919 games has not been all that effective, and a lot 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.960 of that is coming from the velocity at least we think, 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:13.040 how concerned is Chris Sale, how concerned or the Red 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:17.440 Sox and how concerned should we be? Well, just to 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.320 clarify a little bit, uh, certainly the opener last Thursday 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.040 in Seattle was not good at all. Three innings, three 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.480
