Speaker 1: forty two and have five Alex Passano, when this has
Speaker 1: been your sports grid news update, now back to the
Speaker 1: fantasy bff's all right. There you have the update from Alex.
Speaker 1: All the conferences that are not playing basketball, which is
Speaker 1: letterry conference that's off like basketball, The XFL is still going, Jen,
Speaker 1: how are how are you doing anything? Listen? Obviously, you
Speaker 1: you flew when when did you fly? So? I flew
Speaker 1: in yester yesterday night. How are the Air Force plane? Airports?
Speaker 1: And planes were amazing? First of all, I do fly often.
Speaker 1: I have in the past week been on a plane
Speaker 1: and not had to share any row. Right, I mean,
Speaker 1: nobody's near me. Um, the planes are extremely clean. You
Speaker 1: can tell that everyone's being very polite. Everyone's covering their
Speaker 1: mouth if they coffee. Don't hear coffee. You don't see sniffling.
Speaker 1: You can tell it's all been bleached. You see them
Speaker 1: cleaning it. So in a strange way, it felt safer
Speaker 1: to fly this week than it has in the last
Speaker 1: three years. So that was fine. It was easy to
Speaker 1: get a cabbag JFK. And then of course got in
Speaker 1: last night and everything really started to really unravel. So yeah,
Speaker 1: Jen in town for for tow Wars, in town for
Speaker 1: the NFBC, in town for the g d D, and
Speaker 1: we may go over three here, right. You know all
Speaker 1: these drafts um are being potentially postponed canceled in some instances,
Speaker 1: and well we'll just lay it out there. We're supposed
Speaker 1: to be in a draft together tonight. Um, it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be at a bar on the upper eastat
Speaker 1: side earlier this week, there was a vote to to
Speaker 1: cancel that um and to just do it online. As
Speaker 1: for an abundance of caution, I know some members of
Speaker 1: the league are older. Some members of the league could
Speaker 1: take care of their parents and their children. It wasn't
Speaker 1: worth it in several members eyes to draft knowing what
Speaker 1: else is going on, and that was fine, So they
Speaker 1: want to do it from home. Now. The MLB announced
Speaker 1: that their postponing stre been training and more more than
Speaker 1: likely postponing the start of MLB season at least a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. If it's not like they can't I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, because obviously this brings a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: into question, and we can talk about strategies and I've
Speaker 1: already thought about a lot of things and um, but
Speaker 1: they obviously can't start the season on time. It's impossible
Speaker 1: at this point. If they're gonna suspend spring training, it's
Speaker 1: not healthy for the players, it's not good for the
Speaker 1: teams this period. So we had another week or so
Speaker 1: of spring training left. And if we're stopping spring training,
Speaker 1: let's say for another a month, right. The NBA is
Speaker 1: kind of holding things out for thirty days. Everyone seems
Speaker 1: to be holding out for thirty days. We'll kind of
Speaker 1: re evaluate in mid April and see where we are.
Speaker 1: If the MLB does that, you're gonna need another two
Speaker 1: to three weeks to kind of get everybody ramped back up.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying pictures can't throw, because they will.
Speaker 1: I can't say hitters can't hit, because they will. But
Speaker 1: it's not the same, and you're gonna need, like I said,
Speaker 1: another couple of weeks. And that's why I've had in
Speaker 1: my head that like, you're looking to me first, and
Speaker 1: it's it's legit possibility. We don't start baseball until May first,
Speaker 1: so you're in a ton of leaves. This is what
Speaker 1: you do if you're supposed to draft this weekend, which
Speaker 1: you are. You supposed to draft tonight, which you are.
Speaker 1: Would you want to postpone or cancel these drafts knowing
Speaker 1: that there is so much up in the air. No,
Speaker 1: not for me, because for me, first of all, I'm
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be fun strategy to actually
Speaker 1: figure out how this works out, which is part of
Speaker 1: the game of this um. And second, I'm I fear
Speaker 1: that if we postpone it it just won't happen again
Speaker 1: the same way. You know. So, as we said, sorry
Speaker 1: for interrupting you, as we say, um, as we're talking
Speaker 1: about this, can Rosenthalis just come out and said mL
Speaker 1: V is suspending spring training games and they are delaying
Speaker 1: the start of the regular season by at least two weeks.
Speaker 1: So it was supposed to start and pull my calendar.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to start in Mar this year. It was
Speaker 1: a Thursday, um, and they are now pushing the back
Speaker 1: to at least April night. Okay, so we have two
Speaker 1: more weeks of information at that point. Maybe, um. But
Speaker 1: so if it's only two weeks, I'd still rather draft tonight.
Speaker 1: I guess if it were two months, that might feel different.
Speaker 1: MutS feels different. We're talking about two weeks. You're talking
Speaker 1: about like who starts for pictures. You're and I'm not
Speaker 1: saying it will be two weeks. It's it's at least
Speaker 1: two weeks. The goal is that we're hopefully as a country,
Speaker 1: will have a better handle on what's going on by
Speaker 1: the middle of April, and you can at least make
Speaker 1: plans of some story knowing what's to come. This is
Speaker 1: what we know now from MLB, So we have to
Speaker 1: just make sure that would like you make sure anything
Speaker 1: you get, make sure anything. We don't know anything, but
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I want to draft tonight. And
Speaker 1: I said this on Twitter and Frank and I are
Speaker 1: a team tonight, as everybody knows, we're team in life.
Speaker 1: But he texted me as soon as I responded to
Speaker 1: the email about postponing the draft, andanized it, what do
Speaker 1: you mean, Like, why don't you want to postpone? Because
Speaker 1: he tweet and he had a huge tweet you have
Speaker 1: to postpone draft? Like, no, you don't, And I tweeted
Speaker 1: out like, there's more chaos. It makes it more fun.
Speaker 1: There's more uncertainty, and I like it. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of questions. It makes more fun. And somebody responded, like
Speaker 1: you think this is fun. I'm like, oh, this sucks.
Speaker 1: All of these sucks, but we're all gonna have to
Speaker 1: be home and we're gonna be quarantined. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to sit here and be on the air with no
Speaker 1: sports to talk about. Yeah, I want a draft for fun,
Speaker 1: and I bet there's gonna be a lot of draft
Speaker 1: champions going on people at home with nothing else to do.
Speaker 1: So they're gonna spend the money in draft, why I'm
Speaker 1: going to do that, And I want to be able
Speaker 1: to do that tonight with people that I enjoy hanging
Speaker 1: out with who I can't hang out with people I
Speaker 1: enjoy being in a league, with a competitive league. And yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, the cream always rising at the top. I'm
Speaker 1: sure by the end of it ian con And because
Speaker 1: she will be at the top anyway, like they always are.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of uncertainty tonight, and that's what makes
Speaker 1: it even more challenging and more fun. And that's why
Speaker 1: I voted the draft. Yeah, I had the same same vote. Um,
Speaker 1: even though it's supposed to be a private boat, now,
Speaker 1: you know, I replied, Also, here's the thing, so I
Speaker 1: replied all by accident, like I didn't. I truly didn't
Speaker 1: mean to reply all. I previously had emailed Steve when
Speaker 1: he asked like specifically, but I just pressed reply and
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was replying all until I got
Speaker 1: an email saying, how do you apply all? They're all
Speaker 1: gonna think I'm trying to hurry. Yeah, but um, I
Speaker 1: think drafting tonight again, it's there's a lot of strategy
Speaker 1: we can talk about this there. Now, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: some injured players come into play. What is the new
Speaker 1: value of Justin Berlander? Now Justin Burlander, James Paxton, Clevinger,
Speaker 1: Gean Carlo Stanton, Michael Conforto, Michael Conford, Oh right, Aaron June,
Speaker 1: Jillie Calhoun, all of these players who wait. Frankly, you're
Speaker 1: sitting here and we've done it for months and you
Speaker 1: have to be like, all right, well, Lena, worry about this.
Speaker 1: Cole Hamil is another one. I don't want. I don't
Speaker 1: want to pick this guy. He's gonna be out. Who
Speaker 1: knows we'll be back? Well, now, I'm like, Mike Clemoners
Speaker 1: won't give this couple weeks April anyway, Jays Paxton was
Speaker 1: gonna get to mid May, Chris Sale, maybe even Chris
Speaker 1: sal Darry Sanchez name you're Yankee. They're on this list.
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about. I mean a lot more
Speaker 1: of that to come here be f st hang out.
Speaker 1: Are you ready for the nation's first and only free,
Speaker 1: twenty four hour network dedicated to you the betting and
Speaker 1: fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Grade will provide you with a
Speaker 1: real time content, statistics and gaming intelligence unlike anything you've
Speaker 1: ever seen before. Located both in the heart of New
Speaker 1: York City and inside the FanDuel Sports book at the
Speaker 1: meadow Lands Sports Crade is live eighteen hours a day
Speaker 1: here to serve you the fanatic. This is sports grade.
Speaker 1: Get off the grid. As we said, going to break
Speaker 1: and now the press releases out for Major League Baseball,
Speaker 1: they are canceling the rest of the spring training and
Speaker 1: postponing the season beginning at least two weeks so right now,
Speaker 1: tentatively April nine. But of course this is all up
Speaker 1: in the air. As we've heard a lot um from
Speaker 1: our government over the past couple of days, things are
Speaker 1: gonna get worse unfortunately before they get better. We've seen
Speaker 1: around the world how that happens. Now there are places
Speaker 1: that already getting better, thankfully. Yeah, China is already getting China,
Speaker 1: South Korea's and it seemingly on the path getting better.
Speaker 1: I don't really and honestly trust anything I'm trying to
Speaker 1: these days, but you know, I think that it has
Speaker 1: to get really bad before it gets better. And hopefully
Speaker 1: all these containments and more testing will help us um
Speaker 1: get better sooner. Now, as Frank, this yesterday. I'm asking
Speaker 1: you assuming the draft happens to night, and again, I
Speaker 1: don't think it will, even though we know for sure
Speaker 1: there's two votes to the yes. That's true. Constant email
Speaker 1: as well to me directly saying he voted yes, so
Speaker 1: that's three. I think Rick Wilf will want to do it.
Speaker 1: I really can't guess, but I think he and Glenn
Speaker 1: will be in you like, shoot a text? Can you
Speaker 1: shoot that text? I can text him. I know that
Speaker 1: excellent telling to push for all right, so we only
Speaker 1: need we need to eat, right, it's only need eat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know, hopefully get there. When was I three?
Speaker 1: We have three? I feel like nano is a secret?
Speaker 1: No do so nando? I was like Dane Jane's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like, dude, why not? It's more fun whatever.
Speaker 1: I asked Frank this yesterday. Okay, how does your strategy
Speaker 1: change doing a draft on online auction versus man? This
Speaker 1: is such a great question. So this is one of
Speaker 1: the things that I'm a little so I am actually
Speaker 1: doing a live draft tomorrow. I'm so grateful my home
Speaker 1: league is still happening. It is an auction. Can I
Speaker 1: be in that? Right? Do you want to come totally
Speaker 1: just come might when it starts at eight am, but
Speaker 1: it goes all day, like all day to like four pm.
Speaker 1: Why is auction because there's a lot of drinking. There's
Speaker 1: bloody Mary bars, there's catered lunch. You know, I like
Speaker 1: a thing. I have to work, but if I didn't
Speaker 1: have to work, I'd be really interested in being there.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and and so a lot of what I
Speaker 1: do in auctions has to do with how the room
Speaker 1: feels and how it's going, and like how you nominate
Speaker 1: and what you hear in people's voices, the energy, and
Speaker 1: so I don't know how it's going to be with
Speaker 1: an online draft. I've never done anything but a live draft,
Speaker 1: and I'm a little concerned about how non emotional it's
Speaker 1: going to be in a weird way. Um and that
Speaker 1: so why So we've been in the g d D
Speaker 1: for two years now, and the first the first draft,
Speaker 1: like we had fun, got a lot of dirty looks
Speaker 1: because we were having two fun. A lot of dirty looks.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are like so annoying. I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, well with all the back um a little
Speaker 1: bit last year where we're serious, but was still a
Speaker 1: little cheerful this year, I I could reveal our strategy.
Speaker 1: We did it. Now you're sitting across from so I'll
Speaker 1: tell you exactly what we're gonna doing. So we're at
Speaker 1: cold plans one whenever Ian convid, We're just gonna do
Speaker 1: one dollar more, no matter what, no matter who the
Speaker 1: player was, just you know. I mean these things were
Speaker 1: good strategy, right, So h that was one. The second
Speaker 1: thing was as soon as we draft the player, we
Speaker 1: look around the room and then we're just gonna be like, boom,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an easy I was bringing the easy
Speaker 1: button with me to the draft, bringing the easy button. Dang,
Speaker 1: the whole plan and other people are gonna love it
Speaker 1: and be like these and guys I want to murder them,
Speaker 1: but not be okay, get in their head. Yeah, all good,
Speaker 1: It's all the same. I mean, like I can tell
Speaker 1: you you can always bid line up on Yankees. Sure
Speaker 1: you've always been showing con Yeah, so like there's certain
Speaker 1: people you know, and that's what makes it fun. And
Speaker 1: probably because until you do that online. But like I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've listened to it all to any
Speaker 1: of the broadcast of like the n L to Out
Speaker 1: or or the labor weekends or sorry not yeah, the
Speaker 1: labor and you could hear like all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: there's a bidding war for freaking Hector Nerris why you know,
Speaker 1: And that's something that when you're online, I don't think
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. I agree, because you're not It's ah,
Speaker 1: you're not in the room. You're not like I though,
Speaker 1: you don't have adrenaline because I've done online auctions before
Speaker 1: football admittedly, but I've done online auctions and you you
Speaker 1: get there, but it's not like the same like intensity,
Speaker 1: you know what, and on all Honestly, my online drafts,
Speaker 1: my online auctions, I've always been in the room with everybody.
Speaker 1: So we were surrounding a table. So it's like you
Speaker 1: and I right now, but like I see you see them,
Speaker 1: I see see. That's fun. So that's why I even thought,
Speaker 1: you know, if we could even draft in person, but
Speaker 1: still you still can't do it in person. I mean,
Speaker 1: if we draftment, I'm like hanging, you're more You're more
Speaker 1: than welcome to come over a pizza. That's literally all
Speaker 1: you need. You're walking to my apartment. Beat yeah, but
Speaker 1: I mean I think that is part of it. Because
Speaker 1: you don't you don't know, and you can't feel the
Speaker 1: energy of the room, right. And the other thing I
Speaker 1: worried about is that one of the one of the
Speaker 1: things I've always liked about it is I'm pretty good
Speaker 1: to keeping a cat patalog in my head. I who's
Speaker 1: available and who hasn't been taken, and everyone's going to
Speaker 1: be able to see it. It's kind of like like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: Jonathan Scope still there and I hadn't valued at three
Speaker 1: dollars anyway, so I'll just wait. And you can't like
Speaker 1: give people that impression that they're running out, that their scarcity.
Speaker 1: And the other thing, and the other thing for me
Speaker 1: was and I know a lot of people use draft
Speaker 1: software in league, especially some of these higher price players.
Speaker 1: Um they use draft software, but for us, like I don't,
Speaker 1: and I just a guy goes that crossed, right, And
Speaker 1: I don't have much especially on my computer, and I
Speaker 1: just cross it off. But now I if you and
Speaker 1: I are are in a bid together, I can see
Speaker 1: your team, so you have too, if you have two
Speaker 1: outfielders or going after each other. Oh, she doesn't need
Speaker 1: this one that badly. Yeah, I probably could out been
Speaker 1: here here. I know that now I don't know that
Speaker 1: when we're sitting there, like, I don't know how Jed
Speaker 1: has our team. I'm way too focus on my own stuff.
Speaker 1: But now being on online auction, I could really take
Speaker 1: the time to look around, especially if there's a player
Speaker 1: that is being been on that you know, I don't
Speaker 1: have any interest in. Let's say Mike Child, Like, I
Speaker 1: don't expect to go off for my jop, but he's
Speaker 1: gonna be expensive player and there's gonna be a beting
Speaker 1: war for him. Well join my traps nominated. I could
Speaker 1: sit there and be like, all right, so this person
Speaker 1: is I'm competing with this person for this starting picture.
Speaker 1: They've spent some money here. There's it's totally different. It
Speaker 1: is totally different. I think it's totally different too. So
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is going to go at all,
Speaker 1: um if it goes at all. If it goes I'm
Speaker 1: literally just refreshing my email waiting to be disappointed. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a request out to the fans. Should
Speaker 1: they redo it as a UM live auction, maybe we
Speaker 1: can just like raise some funds, like a go fund
Speaker 1: me to send Gen back to New York. That's not
Speaker 1: a bad idea. Right, that's not about and I'll name
Speaker 1: my team. I'll rename my team. Whoever the benefactor is
Speaker 1: to send me back to New York if we do
Speaker 1: the live auction. I got a live action again, because
Speaker 1: even at Baseball Stars, they may do it with no
Speaker 1: fans and then we're like, all right, so let's just
Speaker 1: do it. Let's just do it. What I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a whole other question, like what's going to be the difference?
Speaker 1: Does that make you upgrade astros if there's no fans.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that. We're gonna get knew that
Speaker 1: before before the before the coronavirus hit, Like, this is
Speaker 1: why I wanted to have you, was to talk about
Speaker 1: the astros. And we're going to get to the astros
Speaker 1: because I have I'm really excited to talk to you
Speaker 1: because you're a fan. Yeah, there's I want to hear
Speaker 1: the fans perspective of it. So I'm interested in getting
Speaker 1: that and we will do that coming up in a
Speaker 1: little bit here. But in regards to the difference in
Speaker 1: strategy nominations, that's that has always been a question um
Speaker 1: that I've struggled to answer in every sport. What is
Speaker 1: the proper or any nomination strategy, and you have people
Speaker 1: just that say and not incorrectly, all right, I just
Speaker 1: nominate players that I don't want because I want money
Speaker 1: off the board. We'll use my TRT example. I don't
Speaker 1: expect the draft Mike Trout tonight. I'll throw him out early.
Speaker 1: Somebody you will spend forty plus dollars on him. Cool,
Speaker 1: that person is fourty dollars less. I'm like, yes, that
Speaker 1: is a valid strategy, but I feel like it doesn't
Speaker 1: do anything, and I feel like I could use my
Speaker 1: nomination wiser. That's the perfect word for it. Then there's
Speaker 1: a strategy where it's like, all right, you switch it up.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you do high price players that you don't want,
Speaker 1: other times players that you do want. Then there's players
Speaker 1: that you nominate that all right, Well, at the end
Speaker 1: of the tier, you already have a second baseman. You
Speaker 1: nominate the last second basement of the tiers, so again
Speaker 1: more money's off the board. Again, that doesn't feel right
Speaker 1: to me, so I pose it to you. Jen, you
Speaker 1: have a nomination strategy, not really. I actually vary it.
Speaker 1: And one thing I do like to do though, is
Speaker 1: sometimes I like to casually drop in a very middle
Speaker 1: player that I know I want at a time when
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of high players going players going through,
Speaker 1: Like what if I just go Now, this happened a
Speaker 1: few years ago, but I remember I went Charlie Morton
Speaker 1: seven dollars and it was just like crickets. The room
Speaker 1: was like, I don't I don't know yet if I
Speaker 1: want Charlie Martinon. I was going to plug him in.
Speaker 1: And I knew I wanted Charlie Morton, and I said Charlie,
Speaker 1: and I got him for seven dollars. I remember that
Speaker 1: I was two years ago. And Charlie Morton's a really
Speaker 1: good example because tonight, Charlie Morton, if this draft happens tonight.
Speaker 1: But this season, Charlie Morton is still a valuable picture, right,
Speaker 1: but he's not a top five picture by any means.
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a top ten picture. And where you
Speaker 1: have Charlie Morton's going to vary. Of course, Charlie Morton
Speaker 1: is like, let's say twenty picture, right, did you nominate
Speaker 1: him super early? Before the Bibs, the Flowerties, the Strasburgs.
Speaker 1: People are going to know what to do. We're gonna
Speaker 1: be like I said, Charlie. Are they're gonna be like
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to leady to think about Charlie Morton, Like,
Speaker 1: I'll I'll get that. Let me get my ace first
Speaker 1: before I move on to Charlie Morton. And that is
Speaker 1: a conversation that Frank and I have, like, wait, if
Speaker 1: you're just nominated a guy like Charlie Morton early for
Speaker 1: like twenty bucks, do you think we would everyone should
Speaker 1: be like, I'm sure, sure that's what will happen. I
Speaker 1: agree with you and I but I almost think that
Speaker 1: that's better in a live offline format. We're jenuors Like
Speaker 1: all right, Charlie Morton twenty bucks. It was like, Charlie Morton,
Speaker 1: bring me more nachos or something exactly over here. Now
Speaker 1: if it's tonight, I gotta go to my wife and
Speaker 1: me like I gotta beer over here, get it yourself. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's what will happen there. Um what happened unce once
Speaker 1: you get married? Is that true? Now? It's like, so
Speaker 1: now I get yelled at for being for being too bossy,
Speaker 1: for how my bossy she goes. Let's just when just
Speaker 1: this a few moments ago, you said, hey, we're gonna
Speaker 1: watch Hunters on Amazon Prime. You weren't like, hey, you
Speaker 1: want to watch like we're watching Hunters. I was like,
Speaker 1: what we discussed, were watching that, but like, what if
Speaker 1: I wanted to watch something else right now? Are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Come on? This is marriage? You know there
Speaker 1: is anyway tonight. I hope, I hope we dropped. I'm
Speaker 1: just ready, I'm read ready, I'm ready. So Frank's watching this,
Speaker 1: he's listening, and he goes, quote, no, Charlie Morton name drops.
Speaker 1: I was like, I did not drop the name, jet
Speaker 1: drop the name. I was going to ask you right that.
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you, how in you guys
Speaker 1: are on Joe Musgrove this year? Question? I believe I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna exactly about bring up Sean. I was
Speaker 1: going to reveal this right now because Sean's Frank's not here.
Speaker 1: Who is our guest coming up Sean? It was supposed
Speaker 1: to be yes, we were supposed to have Joe musw I.
Speaker 1: It was you know how much they loved Joe? Was
Speaker 1: supposed to do you guys know how much they loved
Speaker 1: Joe Musgrove? There was actually a chant about it a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Oh, we had it. We I
Speaker 1: told Sean there's a producer. Were used as we reached
Speaker 1: out because we were je Usker was only fans. We
Speaker 1: had more Twitter followers than Joe Musgrove did, and we're like, dude,
Speaker 1: we love you. Man. I watched this debut game. We're like,
Speaker 1: come on, let us promote you. He didn't, And now
Speaker 1: two years later, out of nowhere, I guess the corona,
Speaker 1: I guess everything down. Two days ago, Shawn texted Man
Speaker 1: of Nowhere was like, hey, I got you. Joe Musgrove, Okay,
Speaker 1: I kind of like that Pirates pitching staff of possibilities.
Speaker 1: I think they're sleepers. That's interesting. I'm a huge Brian
Speaker 1: Reynolds Safari Planet guy. I love fantastic. We got a
Speaker 1: whole lot more coming up, including Jazz's thoughts on the
Speaker 1: Astros that comes your wet Next. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: the nation's first and only free, twenty four hour network

Speaker 1: the fanatic. This is sports grade. Get on the grid
Speaker 1: for once. I love being on the same page person
Speaker 1: across from me at this table, like it is so much.
Speaker 1: It is such a fact TV though. Are we supposed
Speaker 1: to fight? No, you know, it's great over the draft.
Speaker 1: So I'm really like tweets that we've gotten throughout the
Speaker 1: day and it's like Greggy Whale based as usual. Uh,
Speaker 1: Frank has to deal with us on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Frank. You know what, jen pH
Speaker 1: d is proving to me that I am the logical
Speaker 1: one here. We are sitting here, we are sitting here
Speaker 1: during the break and we're just again talking about our
Speaker 1: draft because that's where our heads are at right now,
Speaker 1: and not that they're not where they should be with
Speaker 1: the praying for hell but happiness of course. But we're
Speaker 1: talking about how Wally cool I don't petrified saying the
Speaker 1: wrong word here, Like how things will operate if we
Speaker 1: draft tonight, how much more important FAB becomes, How this
Speaker 1: is an X this is an experts league. People around
Speaker 1: the industry want to know how experts are reacting to
Speaker 1: drafting right now. That's right, and I think that that's
Speaker 1: important because we can relay back like this is how
Speaker 1: we drafted Mike Clevinger. Now this is how we valued
Speaker 1: Michael and also I'm not even kidding, like I'm not
Speaker 1: kidding doing so, and also the fab becomes So that's
Speaker 1: something that you know, there's a lot of debate in
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues, Like I know, everyone has a
Speaker 1: different way that they use their waiver wire. Sometimes it's
Speaker 1: just add drops, sometimes it's you know, snake priority. We
Speaker 1: have a free agent acquisition budget. You have a hundred
Speaker 1: dollars to spend there, and that's strategy in and of itself.
Speaker 1: That's managing the team, and that's are not tuning in
Speaker 1: right now to the wins. We will postpone our draft.
Speaker 1: All of you have already paid tyfical decision, but I
Speaker 1: think the right one. All things considers, especially how MLB
Speaker 1: is officially announced, the link open day, when when the
Speaker 1: season starts up, and how much it will be impacted
Speaker 1: to try and past few days, not to mention the
Speaker 1: uncertainty head we resumed there may be a possibility of
Speaker 1: doing the auction live again with as. I think that
Speaker 1: might be what he's kind of. I think I've asked
Speaker 1: to try and make it happen. See everyone a person
Speaker 1: in the camarady of guy families. It makes this group special.
Speaker 1: I mission from day one piece. I am so deflated
Speaker 1: right now. I am so deflated. I feel like this
Speaker 1: has never happened. I actually my rankings now, I know,
Speaker 1: I had a massive spreadsheet ready. I was really excited
Speaker 1: to use it. I was so now like, I don't
Speaker 1: have an auction to do for God knows when what
Speaker 1: are we supposed to do? What are we supposed to
Speaker 1: do when we're all stuck at home? Should we start
Speaker 1: a food blog? I've been wanting to do that for
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah, I mean you got one coast
Speaker 1: that got the other coast. I have this thing I'm
Speaker 1: famous for now apparently that I don't like bananas. I
Speaker 1: get a lot of heat for that. We can surely
Speaker 1: like a whole thing about banana. Yeah, you try to
Speaker 1: convince me to like bananas, but I feel like it's
Speaker 1: not possible. You don't if you don't like him me
Speaker 1: to like them. Yeah, I don't like bananas. It is
Speaker 1: what it is. Yes, the draft postpone tonight demoralized the
Speaker 1: rest world. I have all right, jas Post Let's move on. Okay.
Speaker 1: The Huston Astros are cheating scumbacks. So you are a
Speaker 1: you are a fan of said cheating scumbacks. Okay, what
Speaker 1: is your action to to all of this? So obviously
Speaker 1: it's been really difficult as a fan because you're you're
Speaker 1: a fan. You have to stay a fan. You can't
Speaker 1: just that's just kind of how it works, right, Um,
Speaker 1: you're a fan of the franchise. It's been incredibly disappointing,
Speaker 1: incredible disappointing. Some of my greatest memories, Like one of
Speaker 1: my best memories ever in life was being at the
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen World Series with my father. You know,
Speaker 1: like I've told this story before on this show, but
Speaker 1: it's it was really hard. Um. But as far as
Speaker 1: going forward, as far as fantasy is concerned, I think
Speaker 1: that there's still a lot of value there and we
Speaker 1: can talk about all of that. As far as being
Speaker 1: a fan, I'm gonna not where my hat this year.
Speaker 1: I feel like it. You know, do you think they
Speaker 1: do you think that any of the players should have
Speaker 1: been suspended? Do I think any the players should have
Speaker 1: been suspended. Um, probably, I mean this is where it
Speaker 1: gets tricky. I think there are players that are on
Speaker 1: other teams now I think they're are players. I think
Speaker 1: there was more coming from above. I don't know that
Speaker 1: they say it was player lead, but it's like pointing
Speaker 1: fingers and where do you start that, where do you
Speaker 1: stop that? I don't know what they should have done.
Speaker 1: Probably there were a few players that should have been
Speaker 1: to suspend a bit. Then where do you draw the line.
Speaker 1: I think you probably have just spend the whole team
Speaker 1: if you do it, Yeah, I think that well. I
Speaker 1: think giving them all immunity you needed. You needed to
Speaker 1: do that to talk. We know that, but when you
Speaker 1: see what it's I understand that Alex Bregman and jose
Speaker 1: L two Bay are the faces of this. It certainly
Speaker 1: seems like Carlos Curray was very much involved as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they can go off unscathed, right
Speaker 1: A j hinge Um Jeff Luno. They get suspended and
Speaker 1: ultimately fired, and the players our problem, even though you
Speaker 1: are the ones that did it, Like fine, managers are responsible.
Speaker 1: I get it. But if you're child, if you're a
Speaker 1: you're talking at trouble at school. They did something wrong, Fine,
Speaker 1: you yell at the parents, that's true. The child is
Speaker 1: the one that hit it. And yes, you can sit
Speaker 1: down the child and be like, if you tell me
Speaker 1: the truth, nothing will happen to you. But then usually
Speaker 1: something happens to them because they did something wrong, and
Speaker 1: the Astros players did something very wrong. Now the coronavirus
Speaker 1: rightfully so so out overshadow all of this. Obviously it is,
Speaker 1: and when they come back, I think everybody will be
Speaker 1: so excited to play baseball that we're not going to
Speaker 1: be like, oh yeah, those cheating Astro's comebacks. So again,
Speaker 1: it's it's good Stros in a way that this goes
Speaker 1: away for a little bit, but it's a black art.
Speaker 1: I was really wondering how you as an Astro fan,
Speaker 1: not from my fantasy perspective, but you was an Astros
Speaker 1: fan and a season like you said, were the greatest
Speaker 1: memories of your life with your father. I'm not taking
Speaker 1: that away because that's always gonna be there, but but
Speaker 1: it and everyone keeps saying that, but that that's always
Speaker 1: going to be there, and what, Yeah, it is, but
Speaker 1: it's not the same. I'm sorry, it's not really if
Speaker 1: you have any idea, like, especially now that when I'm
Speaker 1: an analyst, the amount of interaction that I see um
Speaker 1: and that I get from people and Dodgers fans and
Speaker 1: Yankees fans and Astros, it's so nasty and so ugly
Speaker 1: and so awful to look at, and you just feel like, Okay,
Speaker 1: so I saw something that I truly believed with this
Speaker 1: was amazing. I was at home in Houston. It seemed
Speaker 1: everything seemed legit to me. It was going back and forth.
Speaker 1: The lead change was great game. But now we don't
Speaker 1: even think they should have won the World Series? Maybe,
Speaker 1: like what how can I say? I saw this in
Speaker 1: amazing World Series game where this happened, and then Bregman
Speaker 1: hit the you know RB I winning RBI? Did he
Speaker 1: did he have a trash? Can? You know? So it's
Speaker 1: it does change it a bit because I can't even
Speaker 1: happily tell people. And I went to the World Series
Speaker 1: and post the picture of me my dad with the Astros,
Speaker 1: like that's that's not a popular photos summer. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: I get it. So it almost seems like you're hurt
Speaker 1: by this, right, Yeah, I think a lot of the
Speaker 1: fans are hurt and I will tell you that you
Speaker 1: should all know that a few Houston Astros fans that
Speaker 1: are going around, you know, making shirts and say hate
Speaker 1: us that I hope you know that is not most
Speaker 1: of Houston. I think that's a few people that are
Speaker 1: reacting because they've been you know, they feel like they
Speaker 1: get But you do feel as a fan like you're
Speaker 1: starting to get bullied to just because you're a fan.
Speaker 1: And it's not your fault. You didn't know, you're not
Speaker 1: you shouted. What are you supposed to do? Like leave
Speaker 1: your team? Like what if it was the Yankees? Would
Speaker 1: you really just be like and now I first swear
Speaker 1: the yank forever? You can't. I mean, such an awkward situation.
Speaker 1: It's an extremely awkward situation. Um, and there's no right
Speaker 1: way to handle it. Do you blame the players? And
Speaker 1: teams will come out and be like, yeah, we're going
Speaker 1: to hit him. Yeah. I think that's absolutely inappropriate. I do.
Speaker 1: Basically they're basically their responses. MLB is not doing anything
Speaker 1: bad it, so we will. Yeah. I just I think
Speaker 1: that's not the way adults handle things, probably right, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they bond us, so we're going
Speaker 1: to bomb them, Well they did this, and I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, like it's almost like it's it's safer to
Speaker 1: have a fist fight. They have a ball completely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you want to go have a fist fight, go
Speaker 1: out in the backyard and do it. Absolutely, but a
Speaker 1: ball to the face like you could you could kill someone,
Speaker 1: like actually kill someone, and you could be doing it
Speaker 1: and you'd be thinking you were here, you'd be having
Speaker 1: on national TV. So you need to think about what
Speaker 1: you're doing too. I mean you saw it hap and
Speaker 1: with like Albert Elmore and the foul ball and the
Speaker 1: little girl. Look how that affected. Imagine that you do
Speaker 1: that to a player and then that players done right
Speaker 1: can happen? Can the whole world will see it and
Speaker 1: they will, like we said, Corona is going to change
Speaker 1: all of that. Baseball if you're just tuning in, MLB
Speaker 1: has postponed the start of the league at least two
Speaker 1: weeks to around April nine. There's start March twenty six.
Speaker 1: Spring training has been canceled along with the NBA, along
Speaker 1: with the NHL, along with the MLS. Alowa college basketball,
Speaker 1: both men's and women's tournaments all done, all gone at
Speaker 1: the moment. Unfortunately, you meaged the astrois from a fantasy perspective.
Speaker 1: Is there value in these players? That's what I think.
Speaker 1: But again, this is something that might change again if
Speaker 1: you're drafting tonight, which we're not not. But maybe by
Speaker 1: the time the drafts come around again, maybe people won't
Speaker 1: be as prejudiced against them. Like you said, maybe there
Speaker 1: won't be value anymore. Because right now, sometimes people can
Speaker 1: get an al two Bay in the fifth sixth round.
Speaker 1: Are you not going to take all two in the
Speaker 1: fifth or sixth, or seventh or eighth round? Right? I
Speaker 1: totally agree with that, But right in two weeks, maybe
Speaker 1: people have forgotten about it. Maybe all this will have
Speaker 1: overshadowed it and people be like, yeah, two guys been
Speaker 1: good for a long time. He's a second round player.
Speaker 1: You're not going to get a value anymore, And then
Speaker 1: you have to really decide. I see the same way.
Speaker 1: But Alex Pregnant. I know nobody wants Alice pregnant, but
Speaker 1: he was. He was amazing, and he was an amazing prospect.
Speaker 1: He qualifies at short and at third, so you have
Speaker 1: positional flexibility. I mean, he's a why wouldn't you? But
Speaker 1: but if you have to take him in the first round.
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't want to. Yep, the Jack Curry is
Speaker 1: speculating that it's a flute situation with Major League Baseball,
Speaker 1: but as we forecast with the MLB season, might look
Speaker 1: like they could delay the season by three weeks, sprinkling
Speaker 1: seven double headers over the next five months, and then
Speaker 1: end up with about a hundred and fifty games. I mean,
Speaker 1: they have they talked to it all about just eliminating
Speaker 1: the All Star Break. I haven't that I haven't. Nobody watches.
Speaker 1: Nobody watches it, but like it does get more ratings
Speaker 1: than like any other baseball teams. Nobody watches baseball in general.
Speaker 1: The XFL will have an announcement at four pm today,
Speaker 1: we'll get the latest on them. That's kind of in
Speaker 1: twenty minutes from now, so I'm sure that news will
Speaker 1: break beforehand. Um, but that was inevitable. UM. Vince McMahon's
Speaker 1: w w E put their show at their performance center yesterday.
Speaker 1: It looks like Smacked Out on Friday will also be
Speaker 1: in Orlando at their Performance Center as well. So that's
Speaker 1: another situation worth the monetary. Of course, you can't. There's
Speaker 1: no way, is no arena, there's no city that you
Speaker 1: can just bring in and the fifteen people anymore. New York,
Speaker 1: for instance, doesn't want large gatheringes of five hundred as
Speaker 1: you As you said, they closed Broadway and it wasn't
Speaker 1: even like and that's a big blow to the city. Uh.
Speaker 1: My wife works at the museum. They have to cross.
Speaker 1: They don't have a choice. Really tough time for everybody
Speaker 1: right now going on both New York City of course,
Speaker 1: home and away. I was gonna break. When do we
Speaker 1: come back? We'll talk more with Gen p a Chet
Speaker 1: about our draft. It's not happening tonight. Uh, and a
Speaker 1: whole lot more VF t ons. Are you ready for
Speaker 1: the nation's first and only free, twenty four hour network
Speaker 1: dedicated to you, the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports
Speaker 1: Grade will provide you with a real time content, statistics
Speaker 1: and gaming intelligence unlike anything you've ever seen before. Located
Speaker 1: both in the heart of New York City and inside
Speaker 1: the FanDuel Sports book at the Metal Lends sports Crade,
Speaker 1: He's live eighteen hours a day you to serve you
Speaker 1: the fanatic. This is Sports Grade. Get off the grid alright,
Speaker 1: final if it's seen it's coast to coast with Farrell,
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna have a lot to say. He
Speaker 1: came on the air yesterday and he was saying, how
Speaker 1: uh he thought it was a lock that March Madness
Speaker 1: would ultimately get canceled. He was right, uh. Him and
Speaker 1: Jarry Smith we're talking about yesterday on the program and
Speaker 1: yards I think it's and all it takes is one
Speaker 1: and we saw that last night jan with Rudy Gobert
Speaker 1: and him getting Corona changed everything for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: As I keep saying, it's going to get worse before
Speaker 1: it gets better, I mean I've seen projections that millions
Speaker 1: of us will get it. We don't necessarily know that
Speaker 1: we have it. Well, I mean that's the other thing
Speaker 1: that we have to all keep in mind that the
Speaker 1: coronavirus is a strand of virus that is part of
Speaker 1: the blue from the Cold, and they've known about this
Speaker 1: for forever, just like the rhino is part of it. Right.
Speaker 1: This is just a new strand of it. So there's
Speaker 1: certain things that we aren't resistant to yet. Over time,
Speaker 1: we're going to build up immunity, just like anybody does
Speaker 1: to anything anything. And they are obviously working really hard
Speaker 1: right now to get some kind of a vaccine and
Speaker 1: all of that as well. So we know eventually we're
Speaker 1: going to be able to stop this. I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't imagine that we can't. But if we do these
Speaker 1: precautions now, I think they're hoping that we can just
Speaker 1: stop it from escalating. And so it's just much easier
Speaker 1: to contain knowing what we do know. Um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: once it we we may all have it. I mean
Speaker 1: I watched the video from Tom Hanks's son, and you
Speaker 1: know Tom Hanks, of course not he had and he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, they're not really that sick. So just because
Speaker 1: you have it doesn't mean you're going to be in
Speaker 1: a terrible state. It just means we have to to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on it and keep you from transferring
Speaker 1: it from other people. And that's what we just don't
Speaker 1: know because we don't have the tests. Absolutely they all
Speaker 1: have it already. That's the thing. We we we may
Speaker 1: have it. We again, like Rudy Gobert is ready to
Speaker 1: play basketball last night, right, he was, he felt fine,
Speaker 1: He's ready to play, Yeah, and he had the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: Like that's how you know that it is could be
Speaker 1: within any of us, Like I feel a hundred percent fine.
Speaker 1: You seem ad percent fine right like we may have it.
Speaker 1: We have had it for a few days now, without
Speaker 1: the fever, without the cause. Yeah, and of course we
Speaker 1: we just have no idea. Obviously, are um a whole
Speaker 1: the whole other story. Obviously, UM get in some players
Speaker 1: now that we're not drafting at each other, let's just talk,
Speaker 1: just talk about some players. I want to. He's always
Speaker 1: gonna connected. A former astro Okay, you're growing up, was
Speaker 1: Craig Bigio. His son, Cavin Bigio now plays baseball for
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, who we were just talking about. Read
Speaker 1: this spring and the Blue Jays in the White Sox,
Speaker 1: two teams everyone's looking at like they're fun. They're fun.
Speaker 1: Cavin Bigio has kind of been one of my guys
Speaker 1: on Brian Reynolds Safari Planet. Those two guys you get
Speaker 1: that joke were now come on, like frank doesn't get
Speaker 1: it because Franklin doesn't get pop culture. Like I feel
Speaker 1: like you could have Brian Reynolds Safari Planet. Nothing you
Speaker 1: don't watch Saturday Night Live, Sorry, Tracy Morgan. Tracy Morgan
Speaker 1: shoun do a sketch well, Brian Fellow Safari Planet, and
Speaker 1: it was like it was one of his more known sketches,
Speaker 1: and he basically played a child that wasn't all there
Speaker 1: and he would just see these animals hosting, and he
Speaker 1: hosted the show called Safari Planet and Brian Fellows and
Speaker 1: it's Brian Reynolds Fari. It's okay. I had a whole
Speaker 1: thing that I did about Alex d of madisone all
Speaker 1: football season. Some people got that. Some people know Hamilton's,
Speaker 1: but yeah, speaking Broadway, because anything right now. So I
Speaker 1: saw Hamilton for the second time last month. I bought
Speaker 1: my wife tickets for her birthday to see Hamilton's on
Speaker 1: my birthday. It was like a really earliant idea. I
Speaker 1: mean that she agreed, Yeah she did. She didn't feel
Speaker 1: like that's like when you like buy a woman lingerie
Speaker 1: for her birthday. Sounds good. Thanks Hunting wasn't all I
Speaker 1: got out of it was I just got to people
Speaker 1: for dinner. I was gonna be a deal. So we
Speaker 1: saw it and I liked it like even better the
Speaker 1: second time I did too. It was I did to
Speaker 1: the second time I saw because it's a lot easier
Speaker 1: to follow. Like the first time, you're just like, what
Speaker 1: my mind blown total it's going on. There's so many words,
Speaker 1: you can't understand all the words exactly. The second time
Speaker 1: is better. I watched the second time, I'm like, not
Speaker 1: only I understand it way more like the second act,
Speaker 1: which I always remember, is being like slower. All the
Speaker 1: fun all the fun songs are like the first act
Speaker 1: and the second act. Alright, it's a little slower, little
Speaker 1: bit boring. It was amazing, brilliant. I know I have
Speaker 1: the same reaction. I'm also obsessed with Tomorrow Green, who
Speaker 1: played George Washington for me. He is Oh my god,
Speaker 1: he's better than the original. I really believe that you
Speaker 1: talk about like George Washington, you talk about presents, right,
Speaker 1: this guy at a presence, and I wanted to give
Speaker 1: him when he does um um, what's this? What's the
Speaker 1: famous short Washington song? And second act one last time?
Speaker 1: You know he does one last time. It was just
Speaker 1: his swan song in the show. I wanted to give
Speaker 1: m a standing relation in the middle of the show.
Speaker 1: It was amazing act him fan mail. By the way,
Speaker 1: do you know that I play in my Big League?
Speaker 1: I played Tomorrow because I got a piece of fan
Speaker 1: mail from someone that saw me on stage, and now
Speaker 1: we're partners and I playing this money lot, so always
Speaker 1: send fans you never know where it's gonna lead. So
Speaker 1: we looked him because we were so impressed. He like
Speaker 1: does like just like what he says. It seems like
Speaker 1: he's like he's not like lit Manuel Morander, right, he's
Speaker 1: like a normal Broadway guy, like just people. Yeah, exactly
Speaker 1: as you were saying. They're all kind of that they
Speaker 1: have off work. Um. So I was like, this guy
Speaker 1: is amazing. I will I will follow him in whatever
Speaker 1: show he does next. I will see this guy. That's
Speaker 1: how impressed I was. It was it should be. It
Speaker 1: was awesome. I'm not saying like every character is better
Speaker 1: than the first time I saw it, Like there are
Speaker 1: some actors and don't I want name it? Like I
Speaker 1: was like, I really like the better the first time,
Speaker 1: but it was still really cool. I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 1: Did you see lin Manuel you did? I remember this?
Speaker 1: We talked about this and I was so angrysh And
Speaker 1: then I saw another guy that was honestly probably I
Speaker 1: saw Farren's son do it. Oh that's cool. Yeah, his
Speaker 1: mother's an opera teacher. I did not know that talented family.
Speaker 1: I saw Taryn kill Him as King George. That so
Speaker 1: Taryn Killum was better than the person that played King
Speaker 1: George for me. And I also decided like Tary killam
Speaker 1: better than Jonathan Grolf playing the role. Really listen, I
Speaker 1: didn't see him, but do you know who I saw?
Speaker 1: Guy that was on Smash? Oh that Christian Moral Smash.
Speaker 1: The other one that was about Broadway was Smash. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you saw Brian Dorcy James do it. James was amazing.
Speaker 1: He was the original. He was amazing. He came back
Speaker 1: to do it when I saw it, and he was amazing, awesome.
Speaker 1: Never left so hard, so halted. This is what happened. Sorry,
Speaker 1: guys that were supposed to be talking about sports, but hey,
Speaker 1: there never Broadway, Fantasy Broadway or something. Are you are
Speaker 1: you gonna see six? You know what six is? No,
Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean I'm not here long enought Yeah,
Speaker 1: that communion. Yeah, if I come back. So same Six
Speaker 1: is about Henry the Eighth Six Wives, and it's like
Speaker 1: eight minutes long. It's like a pop musical. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: I had to take it to the Sunday and now
Speaker 1: I cannot. They'll they'll Bill do Hey, don't think so
Speaker 1: I don't agree. Come on, are you so? Am I in? Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm mildly in. I'm not as crazy as some people
Speaker 1: are about him. Now here's the thing. I think that
Speaker 1: Kevin Biggio is more valuable in obi P League avertly,
Speaker 1: and that's one thing to be aware of. I do
Speaker 1: think he'll run. His dad obviously, is great hitter three
Speaker 1: you know, three thousand hits, you know, Hall of fame. Um,
Speaker 1: but I'm not a d I prefer like the sets better,
Speaker 1: no doubt better. Um but yeah, no, I like Kevin
Speaker 1: Bijo and all those baby jays are having a great spring.
Speaker 1: They are there. You're getting excited. You've seen Ladimir Guerrero's
Speaker 1: praised dip and then go back, Um, who doesn't want
Speaker 1: to have a share of vlad Junior. You gotta at
Speaker 1: least right, at least in one league, right, you can
Speaker 1: really go big. I mean, I'm not convinced it's not
Speaker 1: enough tour. I'm putting him everywhere, but you can have
Speaker 1: at least one share. I think, Um, you want, we
Speaker 1: want somebody, right even as like like all right, I
Speaker 1: could deal with that. Yeah, I love Lord of Scary.
Speaker 1: Actually I've actually rostered him for like free. The last
Speaker 1: couple of years he's always paid off. Sure, and maybe
Speaker 1: this year's even Betterly he's betting third, I think in
Speaker 1: this lineup roster resources. So it's like, all right, sure,
Speaker 1: why not? And then I mentioned, um, imagine my man
Speaker 1: Brian Reynolds. You said you like Brian Reynolds. Why's that?
Speaker 1: Because he does everything it doesn't cost you anything. And
Speaker 1: he's like a mini Michael Brantly. Michael Brantly, who would
Speaker 1: not agree more with you? See this this right here?
Speaker 1: How about that maybe we should have a team to
Speaker 1: maybe we agree with problem. Yeah, I'm totally with you
Speaker 1: with Brian Reynolds. He's a mini Michael Brentley, gives you a
Speaker 1: a good average, you could get you fifteen fifteen. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: And then like you spent nothing for him, he's your
Speaker 1: boring player. I am a big proponent of having a
Speaker 1: few boring players on your team with your stars. So
Speaker 1: the problem with Frankie is that he likes all boring players,
Speaker 1: Like he's obsessed old guys. Right, So I mentioned like
Speaker 1: Charlie Morton before, and there's like an old guy like
Speaker 1: Frank's pretty interested in them. He's like he's like the
Speaker 1: all Joey Evado, No, not that old, not like Joey
Speaker 1: Vado and not like Meg Cabraro. It isn't like he
Speaker 1: likes Justinton Oh, I love Justin upton He's a sleeper
Speaker 1: pick for me. He likes Justin, he likes Andrew McCutcheon.
Speaker 1: Any cutching, I'm not so sure about anymore. Besides, he
Speaker 1: should only ever be a pirate with dreads. I don't
Speaker 1: agree on the dreads um, but like the cutcheon, he's
Speaker 1: another player of the drafted tonight, like he could be
Speaker 1: back around me. He could be, he could be, but
Speaker 1: he's not one I'm pursuing. Just not that I like
Speaker 1: because he's always been a source of thirty home runs.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's never been injured until last year that
Speaker 1: was really an outlier. So I'm all about upton Um.
Speaker 1: But now that we've said that a hundred times, and
Speaker 1: you're gonna have two or three more weeks to hear
Speaker 1: that before the season starts, he probably won't be cheap anymore.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the other thing that's all going to change.
Speaker 1: And being in that lineup where you kind of look
Speaker 1: at it like, wait, there's better than I realized. This
Speaker 1: this line up. So, um, that's that's what the Angels
Speaker 1: with Mike Trout I wis showing Tony at h And
Speaker 1: that's another one shows honey that Arm could be working
Speaker 1: a whole lot better. First could interesting? I think. I
Speaker 1: think that's another interesting one. So a whole lot going
Speaker 1: on there, um with what's going to change in May?
Speaker 1: All right, we have two minutes left, Jen, Where can
Speaker 1: people hear you? Watch you listen? Oh? Yeah, you can

Speaker 1: And I've seen you tweet lot of stuff with Jim
Speaker 1: Bowden and he's perspective on Yeah, we've done a few
Speaker 1: radio shows together and he's It's great because we get
