This weekend, we're gonna recap all that look ahead. 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.680 We got a contract extension again for another picture, Welsh. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:53.960 Before we do that, I have a review of the 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.600 Super Mario Brothers movie, which I went to see yesterday 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.320 with my kids. Would you like the review? 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.280 Wow? Yeah, this is what we're all here for. Joe, 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.040 We're all here for the wait, hold and one second, 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:08.160 super Mario, are you like? It's Mario? Are you doing? Hey, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:14.720 it's a Mario like you because alloy thing you're doing. 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.360 I just want everyone to know that I hear it. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.600 If you hear it too, Let's hear about the Mario brothers. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.920 Mario, Well, Mario is you know it's a Mario. I 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.959 know it's he says he's a Mario. You're the Luigi 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.200 to my Mario. You know what. I think that's what 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.200 we should dress up as for Halloween this year, you 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.640 and I will do a special will dress up as 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.080 Mario and Luigi. You're tall, I'm short. It's all thing. 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.319 It's fantastic. Here you go Mario Brothers movie. I was 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.520 very excited. I heard good things. Love Jack Black. His 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.160 singing of this song, the Peaches song is probably the 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.000 funniest part. And it was way too short. It should 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.320 have been like a three minute music video. The movie 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:52.360 looked great. It had all the right pieces, all the 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.680 right Easter eggs, all the right cool things, and and 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.040 everything was there for it to be great. Had the 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.160 right talent. It is so flat and boring. It is 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.080 the most flat and boring on like, like, what a shame. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.320 It could have been so much better. I told you, 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:09.440 you know, these these illumination movies. I love the original ones, 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.639 like the the There were Despicable ME one and two great. 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.080 You know, it's really funny stuff in there. But the 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.680 recent ones I've seen, the stories have been crap. Like 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.480 that that Young grew one. I thought the story was crap. 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.560 They missed all the jokes. They didn't have enough jokes. 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:24.840 They should have had some jokes there for the grown ups, 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.080 because those make those movies more entertaining for everybody. I 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.359 was disappointed. It was a very sad times. 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.920 So I want your political view on Chris Evans in 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:34.720 his accent of Super Mario. 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.560 Well, that would be Captain America. You mean Chris Pratt, 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:43.040 Chris Chris Pine another Chris. No, I don't care. It's 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:43.720 called acting. 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:44.600 You know. 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:50.080 The point of acting is life, not it's acting brilliant, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.280 thank y'all. No, it's again John Lovetz. John Lovett did that, 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.840 But I don't. I don't understand. Like the whole point is, 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.760 if you have the right sensibility as a human, you 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.400 should be able to play whatever car. It doesn't matter. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.640 So no, I'm not offended as an Italian that Chris 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.800 Pratt was Mario. I'm offended that the story was boring 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.600 and there was no good jokes. That's what I'm offended about. 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.120 But it's okay because the palette was cleansed because we 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.440 watched John Wick number one last night because they had 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.480 never seen John Wick. The kids and I so what 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.760 a what a vast spectrum to go for Mario to. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.440 John Cross that over do a crossover here? 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.280 Now you're cooking. Now we got something good. All right, 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.320 let's get to some of the headlines in baseball. See 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.359 what we got going good? Because Pete A. Lonzo's going good. 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.280 He was my home run call for the weekend. Welsh 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.000 Joey's a happy boy. He is two more home runs, 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.840 so I'm up on three. I think now for. 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.360 Really, you never get another home run again. I've just 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.200 turned never do it. It'll just never happen. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.080 Are you stuck at one? Still? Is that what we want? 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.000 It's just never gonna happen. I just pick all the 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.440 names and have fun. Nope, never gonna happen. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.160 This is from Code Fi Baseball. Peter Morgan. Alonzo was 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.000 one hundred and fifty four home runs. And five hundred 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.120 and forty six MLB games. That is impressive. He's leading 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.000 the league in home runs. His MVP odds on fans 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.480 or plus nine hundred boys and girls. I put some 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.920 money on that today, made an investment on that. I 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.960 think people should too. It's plus eleven hundred on betting 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.920 pros and some other spots and get even better number 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.880 as some other houses. Here's my point with Alonzo. Unlike 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:17.240 the Braves that have Olsen, Thecunya, Austin Riley, unlike the 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:21.800 Padres who have Machado and Tatis Coming and Juan Soto, 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.600 and even unlike the Dodgers with Bets and Freeman, Alonzo 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.040 really does stand alone at this offense as the dude. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.640 And with the way the pitching hasn't been necessarily great, 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.280 with the way the injuries bumping sures are from a start, 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.760 verlinners and thrown a pitchy at this year, I think 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.360 the Alonzo narrative could get really loud, really quickly in 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.320 the National League. What do you think about this, this 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.360 Pete Alonzo train that I'm on right now? 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.760 Well, I mean, what is your train to MVP or 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.040 to len Homers? Because if you're under MVP. I mean, 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.360 I get what you're going with it. I think the 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.679 Mets would start to have to pull off like a raise, 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.480 you know, and start rattling off thirteen straight wins. And 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:01.039 it's in despite of all these other things. I agree 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.000 with what you're saying. You've got these stacked other teams 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.520 that I actually think one of those big like one 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.880 Soto MVP votes gets taken away because Tatis will come 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.640 back because is out there. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.480 So I know we need each other alive. That's the problem. 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.080 I just don't know if this team is going to 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:16.760 be put in that spot. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:16.919 You know. 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.640 One thing I will say also with Alonzo is like 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.400 he was struggling with batting average and he's starting to 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.880 get going. He's still hitting under two seventy right now. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.920 It's gonna be incredible if he does hit at like 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.760 a really higher level. I'm gonna go with like, probably 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.080 not Joe, but your logic is really sound in that, 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.200 like so many other teams in each other alive. 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.240 I think you're gonna make money on it regardless if 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.400 you're one of those places where you can cash out of. Yeah, 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:41.760 if you put money in right now, like on a 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.760 place off Vandule a nine hundred. You can cash out 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.120 of that and it's gonna be at three to one 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:47.039 at some point this year. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.719 So way, your home run that was my favorite in 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.680 the offseason with him, was like especially really really early 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:54.200 on in the year. The end of the batting average 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:55.880 is low, but that like home run bet with Pete 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:57.480 Alonzo was sort of really good one. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.920 Too as well. The Mets swept the A no surprise there. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.119 The the also Braves continue to keep pace. They swept 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.840 the Royals. Brett Baty getting called up. So let's talk 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.640 about Brett Batty big impact on fantasy. We talked about 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.080 this when last week left. We said, I was of 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.240 the mind that maybe doesn't come until the end of 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.680 the week after the you know, nine game road trip 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.560 or whatever the heck that they've got here on the 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.760 West Coast. But apparently, like now we've seen enough Escobar, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.960 Brett Baty era begins, I believe tonight. So your thoughts 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.040 on Brett Batty another big prospect up here? We are 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.880 still yet in May. We've gotten an incredible amount of 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.640 early young, you know, really solid up and coming players 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.880 here and now Baty is up as well. 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:42.760 Yeah, I mean this one actually put a tweet on 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.760 if you Sawchow, I said, if Baty is not up 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.560 with the team by Monday, we riot, and I did 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.359 that on Friday, and then I had to cancel the riot, 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.840 and people very upset about the right being Bady. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:52.800 I love a good riot. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.200 Yeah, Batty was killing it in the minor so far 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.680 this year, five homers, hitting four hundred with a five 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.159 hundred OVPs, had a couple of stolen bases. And the 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.520 thing that's been so exciting about him is he hits 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.600 the ball super hard. It's one tens left and right. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.559 He's just one of those guys. He's got that type 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.160 of like he's got that Jordan Walker strength. For Jordan Walker, 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.920 that pure ross strength is just also pushing into some 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:18.600 you know, into some hits. Baby's gonna be the same 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.920 way now Baty as I think more swing and missing 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.880 his game, and he had a pretty rough early go 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.280 and I think like the long term this has been 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:30.360 really tough in Dynasty. These guys that could get you 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.120 value this year versus like the long term value of 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.920 another prospect. This is like the ultimate battle because I 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.520 don't know if Baty is a superstar or he's going 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.160 to be a thirty plus homer and hit or anything 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.680 like that. But in like a short term, if he 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.960 is going, he's gonna have some power. He's has some 0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.320 big power numbers. So look way, he's a pickup right now, 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:51.080 he's a big pickup. You go and run and get 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:51.679 Brett Baty. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.800 They need some left handed pop in there. He's got 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.400 a really smooth swing. Like you said, he hits the 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.880 ball hard. The defense is a little questionable sometimes too. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.840 That's the other hang up, but at this point they 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.800 need the offense. It doesn't matter. Continuing on enough, some 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.480 fun things going on here. Pablo Lopez gets an extension. 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.800 Our good friend Craig Mish was actually on our Fantasy 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:12.320 Fest just a few weeks ago. Broke this not too 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.720 long ago. The Minnesota Twins and pitcher Pablo Lopez are 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.520 closing in on a four year, seventy three million dollar 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.560 contract extension. So that's gonna be finalized soon. Hopefully. It's 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.480 a great job here by the Twins. We talked about 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.240 last week on the show on Friday. I think it 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.240 was about you know, Joe, Ryan, Pablo Lopez. All these 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.240 incredible acquisitions that the Twins have made. The entire rotation, 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:35.200 even Tyler Molly, all these guys via trade, Sonny Gray, 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.960 the whole group, and now Pablo Lopez they're sticking with him. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.280 And I think this is good because Pablo Lopez looks 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.640 tremendous to start the year. 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.520 It's funny you say that too, because I got the 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.080 trade video that's coming up tomorrow and there is a 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.560 Twins pitcher in there that we're going to talk about, 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.240 and it is crazy. As we've kind of gone through 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.080 the motions of whatever they're doing in their camp for 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:58.160 their pitching staff, every single one of these guys is altering. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.560 There's new pitches, there's scratch pitches. You know, I'll just 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:05.480 break it. It's into it. Tyler Maley is the guy 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.920 that's in there, and he's completely kind of scrapped one 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.280 of his four big pitches he through last year and 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.280 focusing on the big three. And then we've seen that 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.160 with Pabolopez, we see Joe Ryan with a split finger. 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:17.200 It's pretty cool what they're doing and it seems to 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.360 be working. And it's a good bet to bet on 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.200 Twins pitchers right now, which is, like I thought. I've 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:23.360 never said that ever. 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.240 Hey man, I like I said even went and trolled 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.280 the Yankees, and look, he had a tough loss there 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.200 to Garret Cole threw a shutout on Sunday. What are 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:30.720 you gonna do? I mean, he just now I'm pitched. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.839 You know, Garret Cole has been fantastic this year. He's 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.360 a good question from Mark Todd Bradley starting Tuesday. No 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.000 surprise there, Lucky with the scoop up canny stick around 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.880 for a while. I say, yes, I picked him up 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.760 in my home league. I spent a lot of fab 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.840 on his twenty three dollars on him because I wanted him. 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.560 He's also got keeper implications. Excuse me, So I just 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.480 wanted him and I'm mad because I could have had 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.480 him for free two weeks before. He was on my 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.199 list of guys and they just have room. Not only 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.280 do I add Bradley, but on the low key, I 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.920 also added Matthew Liviator, who you know. I know. We 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.320 made some jokes at the end about the was what's 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:08.199 what's the lipator for? Great? It wasn't. It's cholesterol? Right sure, 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.000 libertur is for the Saint Louis Cardo's rotation, because that 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:11.840 rotation stinks. 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:15.080 Right now, LIBERATORI you're saying it like the medication now. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.200 Yeah, I am. I'm saying it like the medication now 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.480 because it's fun. But that's the next guy to come 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.920 up to. So I'm telling everybody right now, be proactive, 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.520 stash him now. He's been terrific and triple A. But 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.120 I think Bradley's gonna stick around for a long time 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:27.800 because I just don't trust the health of any of 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.600 these guys in Tampa. What do you think about Bradley? 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.439 Yeah, well, I mean we're already looking at Jeffrey Springs 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.560 being out eight weeks or possibly more with this injury. 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.040 It's like long extended Eflyn's out there, which you know 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:40.760 that could go one way or the other. But yeah, 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.320 at the end of the day, Tadz Bradley had a 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.600 little bit of a path on a short stint when 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.720 when e Flyn went down, and now there's a much 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.679 bigger one and he's getting another opportunity to put out there. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:55.280 So I know we had some people that were like, oh, man, 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:56.720 I want to play it in your leagues. You guys 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.760 are so aggressive, like early on is when you want 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.120 to be aggressive with Fabius and some of these young guys. 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:06.640 So I definitely was a you know, ten to fifteen percent, 0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.240 maybe even into twenty pinning your own league. If you 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.880 could do it, you obviously did that shoe, and that's 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:12.760 how you were gonna win him. 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.040 I mean the fifteen team league too. You're not gonna 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:16.720 get a lot of starting pitchers who make an impact. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.240 And the fact that you threw one hundred and thirty 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.880 innings last year makes me excited that Bradley cannot be here. 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:23.800 Be like when these guys were like, well we got 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.480 to you know, let's let's put him in plastic crap 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.559 and figure everything's over day, give missippy cop. Everything will 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:29.600 be fine if you're. 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.720 Going to happen. Okay, if you don't think Mama Papa 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.240 Rays aren't gonna steal baby their little Taj, Bradley, I 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:39.680 think you need a second thought there. 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:41.720 A little baby Taj Very. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:43.920 The bids were crazy on Taj. 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.080 As well, were the bids in n FBC. 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.800 I'm sure I think someone went up into the three hundred, 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.040 so that's about thirty percent or even in the forty 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.200 percent range, I think most. 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.839 I don't think that got crazy there either, because if 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.319 he gives you twelve to fifteen quality starts, this year, right, 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.920 something in that range. I think that well, yeah, if 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.040 it does, those are sharky leagues. That's tough. 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.040 The only point to this is the bet of what 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.840 you're putting the money on. It's only about if he 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:11.800 sticks around. It's not about his talent, like if he 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.920 were given a rotation spot here, blow it out the water. 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.560 The only bet you're making is on how long he 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.000 sticks around, not like how good he's going to be 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.000 at this point, because we kind of all have settled 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.520 on like this is the level of how good this 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.720 guy can be struck out eight in his debut. It's 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.719 just are you willing to bet twenty percent of your 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.160 fab that he sticks around? And I think the current 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.720 case of their rotation, it's a decent bet. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.439 Don't forget to subscribe everybody to the YouTube so you 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.200 know when the trade video comes out tomorrow too that 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.240 Welsh was talking about before. That's important stuff there. Good 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.600 news read debt Merz bounce back six innings, seven k's 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.680 to earn, so your window is now shut to buy him. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.199 Marcus Simmon hit a grand slam on Sunday. Luis Castillo 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.560 flirting with perfection for a little while, and then we 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.200 had Garrett Cole as I mentioned before, with the shutout, 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.040 Garrett Witlock striking out five in the win on Sunday. 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.040 That's good. This is always that day too with the 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.439 Red Sox where they have that at Boston Marathon eleven 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.520 o'clock Patriots Day game that screws with every single league 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:06.920 where everybody has to email their commissioner and say, oh, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.480 you get my lineup in on time? Well, you know. 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.680 I woke up and honestly, why the hell is this 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.040 game at eight am on the everywhere? 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.520 They do this every year every year, the Patriots Day game. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.080 It's what they do. All right. Let's get to some 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:24.680 serious business here. Alec Manoa struggling again seven runs. What's 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:26.400 going on here with Alec Manoa? Because I know a 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:27.960 lot of people are starting to panic, and I think 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.920 this is a this is a makes sense moment here 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.000 to maybe start to hit the panic button. I loved 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.480 Manoa going into the season. It has not been the 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.160 greatest start, So what's going on here? 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.040 Yeah? This he was actually one of my il one 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.760 of my bold predictions of guys that was gonna implode. 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.240 He also, when you compare his era toos like it's 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.960 expected era, it was way bigger. By the way, it 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.440 was like around the fours what you're seeing right now, 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.600 and everything's kind of flattening out. Lance Brasdowski did a 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:58.120 really good breakdown, as he always does. By the way, 0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:59.800 if you guys ever want to follow him on Twitter, 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.720 it's Lance Bras and he has these kind of daily 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:04.240 notes in here. So I'm going to kind of steal 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.160 this for a second. I want to give him credit though, 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.880 but as he mentioned in here, the struggles, you're seeing 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.240 stuff plus down across the board. His four seam is 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:16.480 down a mile per hour. Vertical break isn't the same. 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.400 The slider has become less ineffect. I mean it is. 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.080 I mean, I don't even really need to give you 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.000 all of this. He's losing extension, the command is off, 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:29.320 it's across the board decrease. Though, I would say go 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.120 and read Lances right up on his Twitter because he 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.480 kind of is like, hey, listen, he's not this bad. 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.480 But I don't think that matters because he is at 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.640 a level of bad and even if it improves, what 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.720 does that get you. So I'm not a big investment guy. 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.600 I think you should be worried. There could be a 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.440 by opportunity because Toronto is so great, and you know 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.080 he levels out a little bit. But I don't. I'm 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:50.760 not interested really across. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.760 Unless there's just something physically wrong with him too that 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:55.440 he's just trying to pitch through and we don't know 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:57.840 that yet. That's the problem is we just don't. I 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.840 hate these kind of scenarios because there's no reason why 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.040 Minoa would regress this year. So the only thing I 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.880 can think of is injury. So that's the only thing 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.960 that concerns me. Here's a funny story here from the 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:11.480 Wonky Penguin. I'm in a league where someone accidentally, quote 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.680 unquote accidentally dropped a gram and did the I didn't 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.840 mean to, and the commissioner let him pick him back up. 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.320 I think the commissioner's right here. I mean, the integrity 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:25.040 of the league is important. People are dopes, they make mistakes. Uh, 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.760 you know this is you know, let's let's all play, 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.040 let's all have fun. I I don't. It's not like 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.080 you're playing NFBC where you do something like that and 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:35.840 that's like, well, you're sol I think you let the 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.440 person pick him back up, but you say, hey, be 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.240 more careful next time. You dope, what do you think? 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.840 Yeah, I mean people are stupid. One hundred percent agree, 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:42.440 they're very dumb. 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.520 Wonky's been hanging out too much with Mike Mayer. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.040 The only thing is like I've we've all kind of 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:48.560 done this and I've seen this, but you do need 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.920 to like immediately say so, like what did the guy 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:53.200 butt drop him? And then like three days later he's like, 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.680 oh my god, Like you should. It's gotta be within 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.760 a reasonable amount of time. Though, I agree. My one 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:00.480 of my biggest like holdouts of fantasy. It's supposed to 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.880 be fun. It's about fun. So many people work so 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.840 hard to make it not fun, like this is you know, 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.040 like we are selling the Washington Commanders and we're the 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.840 Snyder's here, Like, it's is a fun game, so you 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:12.360 should do whatever you can to make it fun. 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.640 All right, Let's have some fun here with this one. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:19.600 Sandy al Contra again a little shaky, weird start for him. Again. 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.120 He had nine strikeouts in this one, so the strikeouts 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:24.600 are way up. Is there a window here to buy 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:26.880 Sandy al Cantara or is this kind of just one 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.800 of those things where you just go He's just so good. 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:31.640 It's just that other start was a weird blip on 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:33.360 the radar. What do you think here? It feels like 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.640 this might be a small window. 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.120 I think there's like a small window in there. I 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.520 would be interested, And I'm not with alec Manoa, I 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.320 am with al Contra. But okay, what is it? Did 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:47.000 we go from he's not tradeable to all listen? Do 0:16:47.120 --> 0:16:49.640 we go from he's not tradable to I'll take ninety 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.760 five cents on the dollar. I don't know what those 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.000 trades look like, and I don't know, you know, we talked. 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.440 About look at Kevin who has been like untouchable so 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.160 far this year. He's got an era of one that's 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.880 not gonna last. Would you trade would you try to 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.359 kick it Kevin Gosman for Sandy al Contrac. 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:06.800 Would I trade Kevin Gosman to get Sandy al Contra? Yeah, 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.040 and a heartbeat right and send them a care package 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.199 from one hundred flowers one hundred percent would do that. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.040 But the problem with al Contra has been like the 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.240 strikeout numbers just don't equate till like the elite innings 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.280 he puts up and stuff. But I would still go by. 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.399 But like, if that's the case. To me, that's eighty 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:26.320 five cents on the dollar if you're doing if you're 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.960 doing a Gossman. But I think it's more like Gossman 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:31.840
