Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Did let
Speaker 1: me just become best friends? Fantasy best Friends Forever? We
Speaker 1: are back here on the Fantasy best Friends Forever. I
Speaker 1: remember two. That's Frank stand Well. I am Greg sous
Speaker 1: been joined today as we are on most days. And
Speaker 1: how number two for the Closer Chris met chall Chris,
Speaker 1: what's up? Guys? How are you doing? What's up? What's up?
Speaker 1: It's your boy the Closer and uh, Labor Beast. Do
Speaker 1: you have any shares? I don't, which is upsetting. It
Speaker 1: was a big I don't have any shares either. It
Speaker 1: was a big price to pay. I mean you were
Speaker 1: looking at a fifth, sixth round pick. I mean a
Speaker 1: lot of people were excited about Labor tourism, rightfully. So
Speaker 1: the prospect pedigree, what he did last year before he
Speaker 1: got hurt. Yankees good ballpark line up, there's lots of
Speaker 1: like there zero just count whatsoever when it came to
Speaker 1: labor touris also Frank, You've talked a lot about your
Speaker 1: decision in the main event where you took Chris Sale
Speaker 1: over Garrett Cole and he just thought it was like, hey,
Speaker 1: Sales there, how do I not take him? And you
Speaker 1: regretted that decision. You were not regretting that decision last
Speaker 1: night as Garrett Cole faced the White Sox and he
Speaker 1: got bombed five innings, seven hits, six runs, he walked one,
Speaker 1: he struck out seven. He allowed two solo home runs,
Speaker 1: one to Eloi him and Az and one to jose
Speaker 1: A Brave. They're both so little shots. And then the
Speaker 1: six innings where it is where it all went down
Speaker 1: into hell as Joshua James he allowed a grand slam.
Speaker 1: Some of those runs or all those runs, I should say,
Speaker 1: we're a charge to Chris Sale. That was a big
Speaker 1: blast against him. Yeah, this wasn't the best performance obviously
Speaker 1: for Garrett Cole here giving up a couple of dingers.
Speaker 1: Nice to see Eloy Amenez kind of get off the
Speaker 1: schneid here. He's been struggling. A lot of people asking questions,
Speaker 1: do I drop Eloi Amenez? Oh, you don't drop Eloy Amenez,
Speaker 1: even for some of these other prospects. He was one
Speaker 1: of the top prospects coming into the season. And the
Speaker 1: weather is just going to continue to heat up in Chicago.
Speaker 1: The ball is gonna start to fly out, So I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about Eloy Amenez again. He had a home
Speaker 1: run off Garret Cole last night, and then he hit
Speaker 1: his second one off of this gentleman, Rady Rogers. So
Speaker 1: he gets he hits, he gets the two home runs
Speaker 1: last night. But overall for Garrett Cole, look, if anyone's
Speaker 1: freaking out about him, like do anything you can to
Speaker 1: try and buy low and if it's if it's at
Speaker 1: all possible, He's got a four point one one ear A.
Speaker 1: He's got a two point three three x fit right now.
Speaker 1: His home run the fly ball ratio is twenty point
Speaker 1: eight percent. Last year it was ten percent, which lent
Speaker 1: itself to a two point eight eight e r A
Speaker 1: over two endings pitched last season. His k per nine
Speaker 1: is up this year. His walksbur nine are down this year.
Speaker 1: His swinging strike read's fifteen point seven percent. All the
Speaker 1: underlying numbers for Garrett Cole are absolutely phenomenal. Still has
Speaker 1: a one point zero eight whip. If anybody in your
Speaker 1: league is freaking out about Garret Cole, you need to
Speaker 1: I think, even even if they're not freaking out, you
Speaker 1: have to do your due diligence right now and try
Speaker 1: and figure out if there's a way that you can
Speaker 1: get Garrett Cole on on your team for cheaper than
Speaker 1: what he was heading into draft season. Venture. I don't
Speaker 1: see how anyone's freaking out. I mean, even though the
Speaker 1: r a s foll of one, but like you know,
Speaker 1: week like deceiving, it's so deceiving. A hundred k, six innings,
Speaker 1: seventeen walks is incredible, so there's nothing to worry about.
Speaker 1: Those are the real numbers you need to look at,
Speaker 1: not not the four one one. Right. His whips one
Speaker 1: point oh eight, so you know, obviously you're doing well
Speaker 1: when it comes to walks and hits against um. It's
Speaker 1: just that once in a while he does get blown up,
Speaker 1: but that happens to everybody, so that he already will
Speaker 1: go down. What was his expect you said two point
Speaker 1: three three? So ridiculous. Pretty damn good. Hud strikeouts at
Speaker 1: sixty five and a third any space that scary Cole
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander also very very good. Yeah, Ivan Nova interesting
Speaker 1: stopped by last night. Seven thing is a three room ball.
Speaker 1: I told you that you're pretty pumping. He's the astros. Wow,
Speaker 1: this guy huh strike ats one walk like, okay, start.
Speaker 1: What I didn't tell you was he l tenants the whip.
Speaker 1: Not so good for ev Nova, but I want anyone
Speaker 1: Knowva to be this week's like veteran pitcher. You talking
Speaker 1: your something to Frank. That's what I was hoping for.
Speaker 1: I almost did a couple of weeks ago, but there
Speaker 1: was like no, no back to back starts in one run.
Speaker 1: Then he faced Toronto and getting a bomb for nine runs.
Speaker 1: And that's what That's what you get yourself into when
Speaker 1: you start talking about in von Nova. I'm gonna see here, Greggy.
Speaker 1: I don't have any shares with Alex Bregman, who had
Speaker 1: his fifteenth home run on the season last night, back
Speaker 1: to siventy two a b P. I know all these
Speaker 1: home run numbers are just out of whack now because
Speaker 1: they're always going to be in the juice ball era.
Speaker 1: But it's so really impressive and Alex Bregman just doing
Speaker 1: having a fantastic, fantastic season, and we just haven't talked
Speaker 1: about him, Yeah, picking up where he left off last
Speaker 1: year in the second half. Greg, if you remember when
Speaker 1: we started very early back in mid January talking about
Speaker 1: certain players. We were talking about the Astros one day
Speaker 1: and everything that they did in the off season. You
Speaker 1: asked me one word to describe how I felt about
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman this year, and I said boeing, And that's
Speaker 1: exactly how I still feel. A out Alex Bregman. fIF
Speaker 1: home runs in forty eight games, thirty two runs, thirty
Speaker 1: five rb i s to seventy two batting average. Ideally,
Speaker 1: you'd want to see a better batting average, and I
Speaker 1: would think that that's coming. He's got just a two
Speaker 1: forty six babbit. The fly ball rate is up a
Speaker 1: little bit, but also hitting the ball much harder this
Speaker 1: year than last year as well, uh striking out three
Speaker 1: percent more but still nothing crazy fiftcent that's much better
Speaker 1: than league average. Walking more this year. The obps at
Speaker 1: the batting averages don't even get better. Um, there's not
Speaker 1: really anything more that I could tell you regarding Alex Bregman.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to trade for him unless
Speaker 1: you give up your entire team or you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: at least that's what I would demand. And it's not
Speaker 1: a sell high situation either. It's just he's a really,
Speaker 1: really damn good ball player, and I was excited about
Speaker 1: him coming into the year. Venture. Yeah, I don't have
Speaker 1: any shares of him, but I mean one of the
Speaker 1: best players in the league. That's all I gotta say.
Speaker 1: Young too, I mean, you said it all. What can
Speaker 1: you really five years old? Just he's getting better every
Speaker 1: single season. It's just a start runs in a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty seven games last year, He's got fifteen this
Speaker 1: year in forty eight games. The guy might hit forty
Speaker 1: home runs. Greg, He's well on his way there with
Speaker 1: shortstop and third base eligibility. He's very, very, very good
Speaker 1: at baseball. Yes, I'm just looking at all these home runs.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at everybody in the league and at home
Speaker 1: and so, I mean it's ridiculous. Yeah, like that, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what the barometer should be because it's
Speaker 1: it's like ridiculous. It's skewing everything because I'm thinking certain
Speaker 1: guys are doing good, but there's so many guys doing
Speaker 1: better that it's like it's skewing you know what you
Speaker 1: think is good. I do want to have a quick
Speaker 1: note from yesterday. Sean Kelly picked up his fourth saving
Speaker 1: back to back in with a save for Kelly off
Speaker 1: the I L right, so I know that I know
Speaker 1: that la Clark pitched two days ago in the eighth,
Speaker 1: did not pitch yesterday. Kelly did in the ninth, a
Speaker 1: lot of walk, allowed to hit, struck out two of
Speaker 1: the batters that he faced, back to back in with
Speaker 1: a uh save. I said, I told you I trust
Speaker 1: one right now, Kelly or la Clark was going to
Speaker 1: be Kelly uh and for two games anyway. The Rangers
Speaker 1: agree with me, yeah, I would go back to saying
Speaker 1: I think the pecking order for saves right now with
Speaker 1: the Rangers is Shaun Kelly, Jose La Clerk, and Chris
Speaker 1: Martin in that order. Chris Martin, while Shawn Kelly was out,
Speaker 1: had an opportunity. He had allowed run scored in three
Speaker 1: straight appearances, while Jose Laclerk has now gone four straight
Speaker 1: appearances without allowing a run. So um, they're moving in
Speaker 1: opposite directions, and I still think sooner rather than later,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get the clerk in the roll. Greg. Obviously,
Speaker 1: if Sean Kelly was dropped, he needs to be added again.
Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, blowing all of my fab I'm
Speaker 1: gonna spend you know, five six percent. You know, if
Speaker 1: you're playing in a thousand dollar fab league, fifty six bucks,
Speaker 1: try and get Shaun Kelly back on your team. You
Speaker 1: could pick up a few saves. But it wouldn't surprise
Speaker 1: me if even before the All Star break, Greg, if
Speaker 1: we see jose Le clerk black back in the closer's role,
Speaker 1: shaking your head down. I am not not shaking my
Speaker 1: head about that. That I'm I believe and I could
Speaker 1: just come that here. That's not good. That happened a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago and he ended up hurting his
Speaker 1: He was also his calf. Greg, Oh, no, it was
Speaker 1: a yeah this. I don't think it was a shiny
Speaker 1: He's see here. I'm watching the play live. Maybe we
Speaker 1: can get a live breakdown from Dr A too. Maybe
Speaker 1: probably not though, Oh he's fine, Fine, you're run on
Speaker 1: the chest in the shoulder area, and then of course
Speaker 1: threw it in the foul territory. It's not that was bad.
Speaker 1: That was second and third with no outs. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so things aren't looking great. If we were talking and
Speaker 1: we started the show talking smack about the Orioles, Greg
Speaker 1: and now there stand by the wouldn't tush Matt, it
Speaker 1: would be fine. I mean, they gotta win once in
Speaker 1: a while, do they. I mean, you know they're gonna
Speaker 1: end up. We'll probably one fourteen fifteen games ready this year.
Speaker 1: Fifteen not bad. Last night a team that also doesn't
Speaker 1: lose very often, as the Los Angeles Dodgers. They did
Speaker 1: lose to Tampa eight to one. Rich Hill pitched very
Speaker 1: very well for lost Ange six hits, six innings, five hits,
Speaker 1: one run, walked two, struck out seven. We even got
Speaker 1: Mike Florio tweet about your We've been telling me about
Speaker 1: rich Hill. He's good. Do you want to expect right?
Speaker 1: Do you not get that? Sweet? Did we Did you
Speaker 1: not see it? I didn't? Yeah, alright, so Rich the
Speaker 1: exactly I don't want I don't want to misquote my
Speaker 1: friend Mike Priese me. At this point, No Florio is
Speaker 1: a big quantity, greater sign quality, and rich Hill is
Speaker 1: the face of that movement. So, I mean, if you're
Speaker 1: going to preach here's the here's the tweet, then rich
Speaker 1: Hill's your guy. Of course, rich Hill just doing Rich
Speaker 1: Hill things. Sub three r a good whip and well
Speaker 1: over a strikeout for inning and then rich Hill gift
Speaker 1: he loves him. I mean, how can I follow that up? Greg? So,
Speaker 1: I feel like you're honest. I mean, look, the guy
Speaker 1: is killing it this year. He's caper nine over ten.
Speaker 1: His walks for nine are you know, the best they've
Speaker 1: been since when he only made four starts with Red
Speaker 1: Sox one point six seven walks for nineties not walking
Speaker 1: anyone is getting a ton of strikeouts, a fifty one
Speaker 1: percent groundball rate. I don't think anyone ever doubts that
Speaker 1: rich Hill is really good when he's on the mountain.
Speaker 1: Was never on the mount Endings pitched. He hasn't pitched
Speaker 1: more than thirty five and he's pitched in each of
Speaker 1: the past, you know, three seasons entering this year. It's
Speaker 1: and we never doubt that rich Hill is a good picture.
Speaker 1: It's just how long is he gonna be out there
Speaker 1: for you? Gotta worry about that. I understand you don't
Speaker 1: get a zero whenever he's not pitching. It's all right.
Speaker 1: You put him on your I L you pick up
Speaker 1: another picture and hopefully that whoever you pick up gives
Speaker 1: you decent endings. Obviously not to the level of rich Hill,
Speaker 1: but he's a really good picture when he's on the mountain.
Speaker 1: You can say the same thing about Hinge and Ryoue,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers pretty much all the Dodgers guys right, really
Speaker 1: good when they're on the mound. But how long did
Speaker 1: they say? You know, he said that's enough. We said
Speaker 1: this about Rye the other day, Greg. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you can sell rich Hill right now, would you? I mean,
Speaker 1: I think the easy answer is yes. But again, everyone
Speaker 1: else who's listening or knows anything about anything, everybody rich
Speaker 1: Hill is gonna get hurt at him. They do, but
Speaker 1: they also know keep him. I don't. I don't agree
Speaker 1: with that because this one's a little bit different, right
Speaker 1: because he's healthy now everybody knows there. You can sell
Speaker 1: rich Hill on the fact that the very truth that
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, he's great, he's awesome. He plays on
Speaker 1: the best team in baseball that you can sell that
Speaker 1: even to to anybody that could then wrap their minds
Speaker 1: around that. All right, maybe this is the year he
Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt. Maybe this is the year they don't
Speaker 1: stay healthy. There's always the believer that somebody, Well, ultimately,
Speaker 1: I think that we do it all the time, where
Speaker 1: the yangas with Troy Tillewitzky, maybe this is the year
Speaker 1: that you won't get hurt, and get hurt every year.
Speaker 1: Same goes for rich Hill. Save those kids, Ina, save
Speaker 1: goes frona U. There's always a time for those Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Pictures are really a lot of pictures in baseball that
Speaker 1: are injury prone. There's always a time that at some
Speaker 1: wily they will get hurt. And that's the truth of
Speaker 1: Rich Hill. But all you need is one person to
Speaker 1: sell it to that, Hey, maybe this is in the year.
Speaker 1: All you're doing. This isn't even uh a false narrative
Speaker 1: that you're selling. You're telling the truth. He's awesome when
Speaker 1: he's healthy. If you don't think he's going to stay healthy,
Speaker 1: don't trade for him. But if you do, let's make
Speaker 1: a deal. But he's not gonna stay healthy. I agree,
Speaker 1: you agree. All you need to do is find somebody
Speaker 1: in fact, it's not even like a subjective statement. It's
Speaker 1: a fact. We both agree on this. But all you
Speaker 1: need to do is find somebody that says, hey, he's
Speaker 1: healthy right now, which is true. He's pitching well right now,
Speaker 1: which is true. That thinks that, hey, yeah, maybe you'll
Speaker 1: get health, maybe you'll get earth this year. Or a
Speaker 1: team that you know is just so stacked with pitching
Speaker 1: and maybe they could use a spot starter type guy
Speaker 1: that's this good and they could, you know, afford to
Speaker 1: trade someone away to get him. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: a niche guy, you know, the right He fits perfectly
Speaker 1: in the right team, in the right system where you
Speaker 1: could plug and play him when you need to. But
Speaker 1: he's not like, you know, your number two or three starters,
Speaker 1: So he's so important. You know, that's exactly right, And
Speaker 1: you said that, Uh, it's about fit. When it comes
Speaker 1: to rich Hill for fantasy, you can't have this guy
Speaker 1: on your team and him be someone that you depend on. Greg.
Speaker 1: It almost has to be a luxury more than someone
Speaker 1: that you actually depend on. He's got to be your
Speaker 1: SP five, your SP six, and I think for most
Speaker 1: people who drafted him, he's probably in that range because
Speaker 1: he was going later on in draft. So you know,
Speaker 1: if he's your SP five SP six, like you can
Speaker 1: almost live with it, like you live with Okay, when
Speaker 1: he's here, he's gonna be really good for me. And
Speaker 1: when he's hurt, that's fine. I mean, he's like my
Speaker 1: SP five SP six. I'm not depending on him to
Speaker 1: be there all season long. And think that's probably the
Speaker 1: argument that Floria would make from two. And that's the
Speaker 1: other thing is that if you have him in that role,
Speaker 1: it's fine. But where you drafted, is that where you
Speaker 1: were getting him as an SP five six. No, not
Speaker 1: in like fifteen team leagues, you'll probably get him it's
Speaker 1: like your SP three SP four, But I think in
Speaker 1: twelve teamers you might have got him as like your
Speaker 1: SP five. You might got him in the four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think like it's he started to lose some of
Speaker 1: his luster this year in draft because everyone's just tired
Speaker 1: of Rich Hill and the Dodgers starting pitchers constantly getting
Speaker 1: placed on the I L. But here's what you have
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, Greg, if you're trying to shop and
Speaker 1: sell away Rich Hill, is it worth trading away a
Speaker 1: sub three e r A. Let's let's just say he
Speaker 1: pitches to a sub three e r A for a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty endings this year? Is it worth trading
Speaker 1: that away to getting a starting pitcher who might give
Speaker 1: you a hundred and eighty endings Greg, But let's say
Speaker 1: those endings come at a anywhere from a three five
Speaker 1: to three seven e r A, Like if you could
Speaker 1: turn Rich Hill, it's like Shane Bieber or something like that.
Speaker 1: It does that make sense to do? Though? And think,
Speaker 1: is it almost better to keep a guy for a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty endings where he's going to give you
Speaker 1: a sub three e r A as opposed to getting
Speaker 1: like a mid to high three s e r A
Speaker 1: over a hundred and eighty innings pitched? And that's what
Speaker 1: you have to ask yourself. I think ultimately depends on
Speaker 1: that player. I don't think it's just like Rho. I'd
Speaker 1: probably league right in Roto. I'd probably just keep Rich Hill.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is the perfect Rhoto picture. And Florio
Speaker 1: has said that for years. I mean, we've all agreed
Speaker 1: on that. It's it's it's a factual statement. You know,
Speaker 1: in points leagues, he doesn't go all that deep into games,
Speaker 1: and you know he's done a fine job. He went
Speaker 1: six endings pitched last night, and it seems like that's been,
Speaker 1: you know, quite the norm for him this year. But
Speaker 1: you can't depend on him to give you endings every
Speaker 1: single time out and for the longevity of the season.
Speaker 1: So that's why he's better for Rhodos. So I think
Speaker 1: that's probably your answer. Like, if you can get a
Speaker 1: picture that you expect like a mid threes e r
Speaker 1: A for the rest of the season, if you're playing
Speaker 1: a points league, then I would probably look into shopping
Speaker 1: riches especially, probably just keep him, especially younger pure who
Speaker 1: could be even better than right. Maybe he hands up
Speaker 1: with it three too. Yeah, I mean I just threw
Speaker 1: him out there. Bistically, can you turn Hill? Probably not, probably,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was just thinking of like a
Speaker 1: picture in that range. We'll say a break when we
Speaker 1: come back when you joined by to dr a today
Speaker 1: from Inside Injuries to give us the lead us on

Speaker 1: it's a different. But the Boston Red Sox win because

Speaker 1: Sweet Days Not Ammy. Starting on FV and t S
Speaker 1: Y Radio and on your popular podcast Providers back with
Speaker 1: you here on the Fantasy Best Friends Forever. Chris Venture,
Speaker 1: Frank Stample Greggs all here with you to talk about
Speaker 1: some of the injuries going around Major League Baseball and
Speaker 1: to do that with us, we are joined as we
Speaker 1: are each and every Thursday, with a good doctor from
Speaker 1: inside injuries and that is Dr. Right. Let's going on, doctor.
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing today? We're doing really well. Man.
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good I'm good. A ton of
Speaker 1: injuries to talk about today, always are, Man, how how
Speaker 1: did you sleep? I slept? Are you? Who are you
Speaker 1: asking me? Yeah, I'm asking you. I just I slept great,
Speaker 1: and I slept great. I don't have a great two
Speaker 1: calf injury. I'm just making sure you're sleeping, all right,
Speaker 1: A fair question. I mean, we have to make sure
Speaker 1: everyone's getting that sleeping doc. You know, you know how
Speaker 1: important that sleep is very much. So all right, let's
Speaker 1: me give a Jean Carlos Stanton who bicep mystery shoulder
Speaker 1: hit by a pitch to his calf hurts. What the
Speaker 1: heck is going on with Jean Carlos? Then, UM, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try to explain this in the quickest amount of
Speaker 1: time possible. UM grade two, I mean grade one calf injury.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a um you know, getting hit in
Speaker 1: the calf with a ball and hit by a pitch,
Speaker 1: it can result in a calf injury. It's probably just
Speaker 1: a mild strain, but still it will shut someone down.
Speaker 1: We have a two week optimal covery time for that
Speaker 1: as well, so you know, the shoulder optim will every time.
Speaker 1: UH should have you know, sort of happened by you know,
Speaker 1: they've reached the healthy to return date already. It's really
Speaker 1: the UH now the cap which is a two week
Speaker 1: HTR and so June three is kind of when we
Speaker 1: see the calf come back. But this is, you know,
Speaker 1: like we've talked about over and over again, the i
Speaker 1: L is going to be very common to Stanton and
Speaker 1: my hope is and I think the Yankees hopes are
Speaker 1: as that you know, um, he can have these tiki
Speaker 1: tach little injuries, but when come when it comes down
Speaker 1: to crunch time and playoffs, etcetera, you know he'll be
Speaker 1: able to be um fully healed. My my personal advice,
Speaker 1: if I was advising the Yankees, uh, I would say
Speaker 1: that he needs to be shut down for a longer
Speaker 1: period of time in terms of addressing some of these
Speaker 1: multiple factors UH to all of these tiki tach injuries
Speaker 1: so that he can heal completely and then restart again,
Speaker 1: because in order for him to have good longevity through
Speaker 1: the whole season, you know, that is what's needed. If
Speaker 1: if they're doing what they're doing right now, then the
Speaker 1: risk is that he'll have something significant at some point
Speaker 1: and he's out for the season altogether. And that's what
Speaker 1: we're looking at. I mean, his HPF is so he's
Speaker 1: not going to be really doing great trying to battle
Speaker 1: through these injuries, and his injury risk is a third basically, Doc,
Speaker 1: I have a quick question just to follow up here
Speaker 1: with gian Carlos Stain. I asked this to Brad Ziegler
Speaker 1: earlier on in the show Former Major League. Is it
Speaker 1: possible that having too much muscle mass is bad for
Speaker 1: a baseball player? Because you know, we've heard this before
Speaker 1: with NFL players too. You know, the way that guys
Speaker 1: are built now, it's almost too much for the body
Speaker 1: to handle. And I think you see it sometimes with
Speaker 1: you guys like Aaron Judge, who as strong as he is,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he suffers an oblique injury because he's
Speaker 1: swinging like, way harder than anyone else, because he's way
Speaker 1: stronger than anybody else. And maybe that's why Stanton originally
Speaker 1: has this this spice of injuries, because you know, he's
Speaker 1: swinging harder than anyone else because he's that much bigger,
Speaker 1: he's that much stronger. Is it possible that these guys
Speaker 1: are just too muscular, they're too strong for their own good. Well,
Speaker 1: just by the natural laws of physics. UM, the tendon
Speaker 1: um connects the you know, muscle belly to the bone,
Speaker 1: and the tendon is not something that increases in size
Speaker 1: when you work out. It's the muscle. So now instead
Speaker 1: of a normal size muscle that these tendons have to
Speaker 1: deal with, you have doubled the size or you know,
Speaker 1: significant amount of muscle mass, right, and so you're absolutely
Speaker 1: right that there is a higher propensity of injury when
Speaker 1: these guys are um uh you know, have muscle masses
Speaker 1: that are so much bigger than what their original muscle
Speaker 1: mass and their body was designed to do. So that's
Speaker 1: number one, but number two, you know, that's why a
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of finesse and stretching and uh
Speaker 1: motion uh teaching the appropriate motions for power to optimize
Speaker 1: and reduce the risk of injury. It's um that's really
Speaker 1: the way the future of um UH sports medicine is
Speaker 1: from a preventative standpoints, where you see a lot of
Speaker 1: physical therapist training athletes on how to react to certain
Speaker 1: situations and what types of motions that they should use
Speaker 1: UM and and and working out and working on certain
Speaker 1: muscle groups versus others so that they're mechanics and forces
Speaker 1: are better from a protective mechanism standpoint. You're gonna follow
Speaker 1: up from earlier on the show. I think these guys
Speaker 1: have to go on the CC Sabathia diet Man, it's
Speaker 1: more of a great for example, Die, Yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: too big. That's that's too big, doct um. Let's move
Speaker 1: more to the bullpen here. Obviously for fantasy baseball, uh,
Speaker 1: these injuries to closers is so valuable because we need
Speaker 1: to know who the next man up is. How long
Speaker 1: these guys are gonna be out? And like Aaron Judge,
Speaker 1: Wade Davis is now dealing with an oblique strain, the
Speaker 1: left oblique and I mean, you know this is always this.
Speaker 1: This is like a nightmare. There is a nightmare for
Speaker 1: NCY baseball purposes. You know, people use a decent pick,
Speaker 1: uh for Wade Davis. Um, how long is he gonna
Speaker 1: be out? Can we expect this to hamper him all
Speaker 1: season long? What do you guys have on Wade Davis? So,
Speaker 1: Wade Davis grade one oblique strain um, which is good.
Speaker 1: It's not a grade two. Uh. So there's no intercept,
Speaker 1: there's not a significant train. It's just a mile strain
Speaker 1: of his oblique. But you know, we still requires a
Speaker 1: two week optimal recovery of time. So it's healthy to
Speaker 1: return date for us as June the five. You know
Speaker 1: he he um risked worsening this injury if he comes
Speaker 1: back earlier than June five. All right, so Wade not
Speaker 1: so bad. Actually it's okay. It's really a grade one
Speaker 1: oblique injury there for Wade Davis, he's gotta be careful.
Speaker 1: He has to be sure he gets healthy. Does because
Speaker 1: we have seen those injuries come back to haunt players
Speaker 1: and they come back too soon. Ope, Louie Davis does
Speaker 1: not uh do. A guy that we we're really upset
Speaker 1: that we didn't get over the weekend was Willie Calho.
Speaker 1: We did you pick him up in other places, but
Speaker 1: of the teams that we owned together, we don't have them.
Speaker 1: And now we feel kind of good about it because
Speaker 1: he's well, I'm playing at all because he's on the
Speaker 1: I l How serious is his injury to Willie Calhoun
Speaker 1: and when can we expect them back? So here's the difference, right, Uh,
Speaker 1: grade one oblique is um one thing, but a grade
Speaker 1: one quad um, which is what he has um effects
Speaker 1: an outfield are a lot more because of the range
Speaker 1: of coverage that they have to do when the outfield
Speaker 1: to track down line drives and foul balls, etcetera. So
Speaker 1: in this particular case, the optimal COVERE time is three
Speaker 1: weeks not two weeks, and the HTR is June eleventh
Speaker 1: instead of June five. So some more grim news here
Speaker 1: when it comes to um. When it comes to Willie,
Speaker 1: and you know, I've actually like hurt my quad before
Speaker 1: playing solid and i'd be I still played through it,
Speaker 1: but like even with like a week off between games
Speaker 1: and stuff like, it was clear that I needed more
Speaker 1: time than that. So yeah, I'm gonna piggyback off what
Speaker 1: Doc said there, and I think there's something that can
Speaker 1: actually linger a little bit long. I'll say this. I
Speaker 1: heard my calves doing something at some point, and it
Speaker 1: took a year between one of them probably just walking
Speaker 1: Greg most likely, yes, uh, into like a year with
Speaker 1: one of them to fully heal, and the other one
Speaker 1: still seems to be sore. So these things, yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: they do, Greg, And then I'm getta the overcompensation. Now
Speaker 1: we all eat. That's how like I injured my right
Speaker 1: calf because my love one is really hurting, so it's overcompensating. Well,
Speaker 1: and now the right ones really store. My loved one
Speaker 1: is good now, so hopefully my loved one doesn't get
Speaker 1: sore again. Do we almost sound like doctors? Now? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's your type of doctor talk. I don't understand it
Speaker 1: very much. That makes sense, Uh, Doc Chris Davis, the
Speaker 1: way that he's been handled, you would think that this
Speaker 1: guy plays for the New York Mets, because what is
Speaker 1: going on. I mean, he injured his hip a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago running into a wall. I think it
Speaker 1: was in Seattle, and it seemed like it has hampered
Speaker 1: his production ever since then. But for whatever reason, they've
Speaker 1: said that they were gonna put them on the I L.
Speaker 1: They didn't, and they've kind of just been going back
Speaker 1: and forth, and here we sit, he's still not placed
Speaker 1: on the I L. What is going on with Chris Davis?
Speaker 1: Why are they handling him this way? And and should
Speaker 1: he be? Should he be on the I L? Right now? Well,
Speaker 1: here's what I think. What happened is that when he
Speaker 1: aggravated the hip on Tuesday, and which is really what
Speaker 1: he did is aggravated the oblique. Um. I think the
Speaker 1: initial assessment by the team doctors was the fact that
Speaker 1: it wasn't that big of a deal and you know,
Speaker 1: it's okay, But then I think something has done, something happened,
Speaker 1: whether he complained more of pain and and he had
Speaker 1: you know, sort of limited rotational ability, or something has
Speaker 1: happened that they had ordered an m r I on him.
Speaker 1: So whenever somebody orders an m r I on somebody,
Speaker 1: even if it's a professional team, UM, they are they've
Speaker 1: seen something clinically that they definitely want to further evaluate.
Speaker 1: So it rises to the level of a grade one
Speaker 1: when UM at least, So just school of our algorithm
Speaker 1: basically says is anytime here's about an m r I,
Speaker 1: it automatically a minimum grade one is what's there now
Speaker 1: based on what the results are, we'll see how high
Speaker 1: it goes. So the optimal covery time now for an
Speaker 1: aggravate reaggravated oblique UM is a grade one, which is
Speaker 1: now two weeks and we're looking at June five, But
Speaker 1: that is a tentative two weeks right now because based
Speaker 1: on the m r I, if it shows that there's
Speaker 1: a significant amount of fluid within that oblique and it
Speaker 1: rises to the level of a grade two that that
Speaker 1: automatically moves it to the end of June. That's how
Speaker 1: sensitive it is. Basically, it's either the beginning of June
Speaker 1: or the end of June. The asies to be really
Speaker 1: careful one of these Chris Davis, Yeah, please stop stop
Speaker 1: missing this around. You know we're gonna put them on
Speaker 1: the i L. We're not going to put them on
Speaker 1: the IL. Please. We need this guy for the long haul.
Speaker 1: We need them to get completely, completely healthy. One of
Speaker 1: the best sluggers in the game, Greg, we can't really
Speaker 1: afford to be without him. Absolutely, Chris Davis has to
Speaker 1: get healthy. One of the other best sluggers in the game,
Speaker 1: at least this season, has been George Springer, who has
Speaker 1: been out for a while or all this week, I
Speaker 1: should SA with a back injury that we saw kind
Speaker 1: of creep up on him on I guess it was Sunday.
Speaker 1: How serious is back injury George Springer? We've heard this
Speaker 1: chance he's actually back this weekend for Houston. What can
Speaker 1: you tell us, Doc, Yeah, so it's funny. It's not funny,
Speaker 1: but it's interesting that his injury risk is high. Um
Speaker 1: in general because of all of the injuries that he's had.
Speaker 1: I mean he's had a right quad in fourteen, concussion
Speaker 1: in fifteen, risk fracture in in fifteen, quad strain in seventeen,
Speaker 1: and the left thumb sprain and eighteen and another quad
Speaker 1: in eighteen, so he's not had a back injury before.
Speaker 1: And his m R I did not show a discarnation,
Speaker 1: so that's good. So all of this is perispinal muscle stiffness,
Speaker 1: and so it's it's the highest grade that you can
Speaker 1: give him right now is a grade one, which is
Speaker 1: what he has, which is a two week optimal recovery time.
Speaker 1: HTR is June this second, so it's very soon. So
Speaker 1: that's not so bad here for George Springer Greggy, he's
Speaker 1: dealt with a lot of different injuries, but hasn't dealt
Speaker 1: with the back before. And Doc another slugger star player
Speaker 1: in the league that's dealing with a back injury. It's
Speaker 1: been on and off, seems like, at least over the
Speaker 1: past month. Here is Christian Yellich arguably the league m
Speaker 1: v P right now, the front runner for it, and
Speaker 1: much like Chris Davis, we can't really afford to be
Speaker 1: without Christian yellis now if he needs an eye Elston
Speaker 1: to get completely healthy, I would be on board. I
Speaker 1: would support that. But what do the algorithms say about
Speaker 1: Christian Yellich and this back injury that he's continuously dealing with. Um,
Speaker 1: so this is the soft tissue doesn't rise to the
Speaker 1: level of a grade one. The problem is is that
Speaker 1: he also had this uh in sixteen and in fifteen
Speaker 1: UM and UH, so I don't have a history of
Speaker 1: an m r I result on him. So UM, you know,
Speaker 1: right now we have to assume that this is muscle
Speaker 1: spasm them and it's an optical recovery time of one week,
Speaker 1: and his HTR actually is made the twenty eight, so
Speaker 1: it's only in about four or five days. But they
Speaker 1: should really rest him for um a week at least,
Speaker 1: just so that he can have a good chance of
Speaker 1: he of relaxing those perisponal muscles, so that he can
Speaker 1: get the optimal chance to you know, sort of be
Speaker 1: performing on the field for the team at its peak.
Speaker 1: Like I realized that the Brewers are in a dog
Speaker 1: fight here in the NL Central. But if you're gonna
Speaker 1: rest him for a few days, maybe even a week
Speaker 1: at that point, don't you just put him on the
Speaker 1: I L right away. I would think so. It just
Speaker 1: seems like, much like Chris Davis, they've been so off
Speaker 1: and on, like he leaves games with a back injury.
Speaker 1: The next day he's out, the next day he's out.
Speaker 1: It's been like off and on. I think you'll just
Speaker 1: give this guy ten days to recover because they don't
Speaker 1: think they believe the injuries attend to injury. I think
Speaker 1: maybe I think it's a three or four day injury
Speaker 1: to get him back. It just seems so optimistic sometimes
Speaker 1: with these teams. Man. I understand they need him as
Speaker 1: great as he's been. I understand all that, but it
Speaker 1: almost makes more sensence to me to just shut this
Speaker 1: guy down for ten days, let him come back completely healthy,
Speaker 1: and then see if that helps him out, rather than
Speaker 1: all right, we'll do the three day thing. He'll come back,
Speaker 1: re injure himself three days again. It's just it seems
Speaker 1: like it all adds up to being ten days. On
Speaker 1: the I l anyway when it comes. But when it
Speaker 1: comes to injuries, was we well, we have a good doctor.
Speaker 1: It's Dr Ray here joining us for a few more minutes.
Speaker 1: Bradley Zimmer has been out the entire season for the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Dean's Battley shoulder injury. We promised Ventra and Frank
Speaker 1: we would ask you about him a week ago. We didn't.
Speaker 1: Let's do it now, Radley Zimmer, how close is here
Speaker 1: to returning? Yeah, so, so he started playing an extended rehab. Um.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, uh, you know, expected to start a
Speaker 1: rehab assignment in around a week, you know. Um, right now,
Speaker 1: he's on schedule. From everything that we've seen. Um, he's
Speaker 1: passed his optimal recovery time, which is good. I think
Speaker 1: they're becoming They're they're taking him very sensitively as they
Speaker 1: should with you know, great for shoulder injury, to repair
Speaker 1: the labor um um and so uh for all intents
Speaker 1: and purposes. Um, you know, he should be uh getting
Speaker 1: on hopefully back in the lineup in about two to
Speaker 1: three weeks. That's what we're looking at you, Radley Zimmer.
Speaker 1: You know he's gonna have a long rehab assignment because
Speaker 1: he hasn't played baseball in a year. There's also a
Speaker 1: chance he's option to triple a even more of a rehab.
Speaker 1: Radley Zimmer, I think really the second half year could
Speaker 1: help the Indians. Could he fantasy unders talk a lot
Speaker 1: of it that yesterday. Yeah, I think in deeper leagues,
Speaker 1: and I've said this, you know five outfielder leagues fifteen
Speaker 1: team makes a l only I would go out there
Speaker 1: and stash him. Now. He could be back in a
Speaker 1: few weeks and it's Cleveland Indians lineup has underwhelmed, but
Speaker 1: I think if they all start to click it together
Speaker 1: at the same time, they actually could be a pretty
Speaker 1: dangerous lineup. So unlet's see what happens with Bradley Zimmer.
Speaker 1: I would be stashing him in deeper leagues. We have
Speaker 1: another outfielder here. It seems like a bunch of outfielder injuries,
Speaker 1: but yajuries always always injuries. But a lot of outfielders
Speaker 1: banged up right now. Y'as cil Plea dealing with this
Speaker 1: shoulder injury has not played the entirety of the week.
Speaker 1: They've been talking about, you know, him maybe returning for
Speaker 1: the weekend series. Um, what's going on with the yas
Speaker 1: with the shoulder injury. If he returns over the weekend,
Speaker 1: is that too soon? What do you guys? Too soon? Yeah,
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. It's Grade one. It's not a soft tissue.
Speaker 1: It's two weak recovery time. It's June two is when
Speaker 1: we're looking at if he comes back over the weekend,
Speaker 1: he's got a very high chance of reaggravating that injury,
Speaker 1: especially because it's a throwing shoulder and um, you don't
Speaker 1: know where the way the game can go, and if
Speaker 1: he has to be really aggressive with the throw or
Speaker 1: make some weird, you know, off balance throw, he could
Speaker 1: really do damage. So you know, if he starts back
Speaker 1: before June two again, I would take that as a
Speaker 1: really really high risk situation. Right now, he's at thirty
Speaker 1: nine percent, so he's nowhere near to back to low
Speaker 1: injury risk. Be very, very careful with yahl we Um
Speaker 1: over the coming over the coming week, Doc, we have
Speaker 1: time for just another player or two. But before we go, uh,
Speaker 1: franksmen talking a lot about Eff McNeil and j. D.
Speaker 1: Davis here this week, and a lot of that has
Speaker 1: to do with the opening in the outfield for the
Speaker 1: mass by looking forward was in the Iowa concussion and
Speaker 1: then Brandon Nimmo hit the i yesterday with a neck injury.
Speaker 1: We asked you about Hi a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: How serious is this injury? Brandon nimmo. You know the
Speaker 1: m R I. It's interesting. So the um, the m
Speaker 1: R I shows inflammation in the neck, but no structural damage.
Speaker 1: So translation, okay, um, no structural damage means that there
Speaker 1: is uh no um you know, discarnation or uh muscle
Speaker 1: um sort of tear like you know, all of the
Speaker 1: neck muscles, etcetera. But there is inflammation, which means there's
Speaker 1: fluid in the muscle. So it's a grade one injury.
Speaker 1: We don't know the exact muscle um. You know, you
Speaker 1: know how you guys get like pretty like stiff. Next
Speaker 1: if you sleep with a crick you know, once it's
Speaker 1: kind of like similar to that. And so obviously that's
Speaker 1: pretty it hurts a lot, but so he needs two
Speaker 1: weeks for sure. June fourth. Is it bad to crack
Speaker 1: your neck? The general question. I don't think sometimes you
Speaker 1: have a chance you crack your neck like that. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I mean it's not really good or bad. It's just
Speaker 1: you know, releases. These are these are tiny joints um
Speaker 1: the facete joints in the spine that crack and they
Speaker 1: just move a little bit then and they release a
Speaker 1: little bit of nitrogen gas. That's what happened, so it's
Speaker 1: not really good or bad story. Greg. One time I
Speaker 1: went to a chiropractice and they legitimately like crack my
Speaker 1: neck really hard, and I thought I saw the light.
Speaker 1: I thought I was done, and I never went back. Canna,
Speaker 1: I can't do this, shouldn't go. Don't go to chiropracor
Speaker 1: dot Hey, chiropractors. Yeah, seriously, i'mbout I'm with I'm with
Speaker 1: the good doctor on this one, not going back to
Speaker 1: the chiropractice. Dry Provincent injuries. We appreciate the time. We'll
Speaker 1: do it again next week. Alright, guys, see you next week. Awesome.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break here. When we come back,

Speaker 1: Final eight Team. It is the program here Fantasy Sports
Speaker 1: Radio Networks, Chris Adventure. All hanging out, hanging out? What
Speaker 1: do he seems so confused while you're saying that, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at the facilis person. Are we not? Are are
Speaker 1: we not? All hanging out? Yeah? So that's what I was.
Speaker 1: I did learn something just now, by the way from
Speaker 1: Dr I what's that? I'm the many things about injuries
Speaker 1: or whatever, and about the neck. Now he said, for
Speaker 1: all intensive purposes, you know, he said that, you know,
Speaker 1: for all intensive purposes, I never knew that that was
Speaker 1: the phrase intents and purposes correct, for all intense and
Speaker 1: perfect is intensive. That's what I thought forever until just
Speaker 1: now when he said it was like a clear space,
Speaker 1: like for all intents and purposes that makes a lot
Speaker 1: more sense. And all intensive purposes it does, greg But
Speaker 1: my whole life I've always said, for all intensive purposes,
Speaker 1: I think a lot. I think of all of us
Speaker 1: fit for the longest time. Not only is he the
Speaker 1: good doctor, he's the good teacher. Yes, here to teach,
Speaker 1: you see it, to teach. He's a doctor in a team.
Speaker 1: A lot of people say instead of supposedly, they say
Speaker 1: supposedly with a B instead of a D. You know,
Speaker 1: it really bothers me that a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of people I know say use not good. I can't
Speaker 1: stand like referring to a person, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You know? How many of you
Speaker 1: I know I don't like you? Won't hear that in
Speaker 1: furious Maybe it's like they's not English. I don't like
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, even my girlfriend does out here. Sometimes
Speaker 1: she's really yeah, come on, use yeah, like two utes
Speaker 1: it's like, come on, what that's from my cousin Vinny. Great, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a classic. In fact, I'm giving you
Speaker 1: just a bunch of fun facts today about myself. Almost
Speaker 1: I thought it almost died when I went to the chiropractor.
Speaker 1: Other fun fact, I had the biggest crush on the
Speaker 1: woman in my cousin Vinnie Oh Morrissa to my eye, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: she's really did you find your attractive when she was
Speaker 1: naked in the wrestler? I didn't watch that now I
Speaker 1: probably will, Yes, I didn't. The entire time I'm watching
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I think that's a woman from my
Speaker 1: cousin Vine and I had to reveal to my fiance.
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I used to have a crush
Speaker 1: on her back in the day. Would she start this
Speaker 1: movie off not kidding? Do you really do it like that?
Speaker 1: Looks at my phone and sees all these models and
Speaker 1: just like, well, yeah, we know that about you, Greg,
Speaker 1: you are not, I don't know, excited human being. I
Speaker 1: don't know if she knew, though. Listen, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not ashamed. I'm not ashamed to look at pretty Instagram.
Speaker 1: It's like a fourteen year old kids Instagram. Why because
Speaker 1: models and models on it at least? Sorry? Is that
Speaker 1: all fantasy baseball analysts? Frank, I'd rather look at models.
Speaker 1: Instagram is made for models, legitimately made for models. My
Speaker 1: entire Instagram is legitimately just models and food porn and
Speaker 1: food porn. That's that's great. It's not porn. There's no
Speaker 1: there's no there's like pornography models. Be very clear. I
Speaker 1: was going based off the hashtag, the food porn hash Yeah, Mark,
Speaker 1: you know they just text me like Lindsay Pylos. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I don't actually follow her though you probably have like
Speaker 1: a top five in my head. I do, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: try to go for the lesser known ones. How do
Speaker 1: how do you not follow Lindsey Petty? I don't know.
Speaker 1: She's just like, I don't think I followed to mainstream.
Speaker 1: This is like the biggest cop out saying a thing
Speaker 1: to say ever to mainstream. It's not like is listening
Speaker 1: or anything. But I kind of feel bad. I kind
Speaker 1: of I just feel bad, like if I'm scing through
Speaker 1: my Instagram and I have you looking at girls? Oh god,
Speaker 1: come on, Frank, dude, I'm a nice guy. What can
Speaker 1: I say? I know, but like I have I have
Speaker 1: noel Foley right. For example, mcfoley's daughter a pretty attractive woman.
Speaker 1: She's like this posting pictures of herself, like have naked
Speaker 1: all the time. I gotta stop, what why look at Instagram.
Speaker 1: She's gonna be like, well, what are you doing? What
Speaker 1: do you what you have? Man? Do you think? I
Speaker 1: don't know? Well, if she was looking at like half
Speaker 1: naked guys, I would be upset? Would you? Would you like?
Speaker 1: There is you want under yourself? Well? Christ Colston his
Speaker 1: favorite person guy, well besides me, like Star is four
Speaker 1: a K, Chris Hems watch guy and I'm like, dude,

Speaker 1: I don't. She doesn't do it for me. She doesn't
Speaker 1: for me. I don't know why I like. I like
Speaker 1: everything about Halsey. All right, she's many others out there

Speaker 1: out on a limb here, venture Really, you are out
Speaker 1: on a limb. You're not gorgeous. I don't know. Maybe

Speaker 1: if Judy's listening for these women over here there are
Speaker 1: walking back and I looked at my screen. He said,
Speaker 1: what the hell is this guy looking at Well, he's
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing a radio What are you so
Speaker 1: embarrassed about? Man? There's a good looking at women in
Speaker 1: the world world, and you can't help but look sometimes,
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone's human nature. Greg's not. It's not a
Speaker 1: matter of Branks just looking at a girl who's walking
Speaker 1: by and he's actively seeking it out. That's okay. On Instagram,
Speaker 1: you're just looking. That's on Instagram, just looking. Yeah, fine,
Speaker 1: I have a ton on there too. I mean you
Speaker 1: think I can't help it. It's not just Greg, it's
Speaker 1: it's Frank. That's odd here, Chris is a ton Martina.
Speaker 1: How's your models looking on Instagram? It is just Lindsey Payliss. Really,
Speaker 1: he's not tied down to anything. He can do whatever
Speaker 1: he wants. I'm not tied down either, Bud. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: the closest one to getting married was already. I wish
Speaker 1: I could be the way you are Greg when I'm
Speaker 1: in a relationship, because I have like tunnel vision, Like
Speaker 1: if I was Frank, I couldn't look outside jeseus. You guys, wow,
Speaker 1: if we're honorable Yan, Well, he's not. He's that story.
Speaker 1: That story doesn't end well. Frank, he's not. He's not
Speaker 1: tied down to anything either. He's like he kid just

Speaker 1: Stark would be proud. You know what happens in star.
Speaker 1: So that's what you want to do. You know what?
Speaker 1: He died with honor, greg You you're various and you'll
Speaker 1: be burned alive. It's a little longer, but he he

Speaker 1: basically weeks before everybody else. He gets it from his
Speaker 1: little birdies. All right, Gregy, So tell me who who

Speaker 1: we had about eight minutes to Oh, Frank, Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: David Doald just got replaced by Ian Desmond. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Frank, I can't do this anymore. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. I just want to I never thought I
Speaker 1: would say this. I want to drop these guys drop.
Speaker 1: Just want to drop all of my rosters. Ridiculous, want
Speaker 1: to drop them. This soul is ridiculous. Man, David dal
Speaker 1: Daniel Murphy in games, they when they play in games,
Speaker 1: they strike out or they get lifted for Ian Desmond.
Speaker 1: David was playing center field. I mean he's probably hurt.
Speaker 1: I mean he's up. You didn't get lift than Desmond, right,
Speaker 1: pinch hit for him. Sure, he's hurt. It's a defensive replacement, exactly.
Speaker 1: He got hurt. You know, it's not like him just sucking,
Speaker 1: which he also does because it's only the fourth thing
Speaker 1: too like this. This is very bad. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: figure that out. If he's injured. I'm gonna look it
Speaker 1: up now on Twitter. Now you have nervous guys. What
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Rather uh not, Well, someone in
Speaker 1: the check out of own dude, Charlie Blackman's out of
Speaker 1: the game. No, but it actually says it on MLB
Speaker 1: Defensive Up dud Ian doesn't replace the center field David
Speaker 1: dal because David Donald moved to write to replace Charlie Blackman.
Speaker 1: Too tricky. You can't do that. You cannot do that.
Speaker 1: He's not hurt. I'm just going based off what I
Speaker 1: told you. Are killing me? Whatever, Man, David all sucks anyway.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can actually I need the Blackman's out
Speaker 1: of the game. I can't believe we're calling major league
Speaker 1: is that hit two nineties that they suck? All? Right? Well,
Speaker 1: what is he? What is he doing over the last
Speaker 1: two weeks? He hasn't been great? Yea, I agree with that.
Speaker 1: He's not He's not very doing it right now. He
Speaker 1: doesn't get give you stats like there's no counting stats.
Speaker 1: They're about to go on a ten game homestand in Colorado.
Speaker 1: If it doesn't happen now, it never will, it never will. Nope.
Speaker 1: Over the last thirty days, how is this even possible?
Speaker 1: He must have got off to a really hot start
Speaker 1: last thirty days. David Dolls batting two fifty six ps
Speaker 1: with one home run at bats. I still believe they
Speaker 1: actually played in my league, so I could trade him.
Speaker 1: I have a real injury note for you. The Rays
Speaker 1: placed Yandy Diaz on the sub optimal greg because we
Speaker 1: have him in our lineup, as do I in the
Speaker 1: pit league against you, that seems optimal. I did ask
Speaker 1: about this one day. I could ask himbout Jaculaz Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we took a chance, and this is
Speaker 1: exactly this was the chance that I didn't want to
Speaker 1: take with Gregory Polanco, right. You know, how did I know?
Speaker 1: I didn't know what was gonna happen. I didn't know
Speaker 1: he was gonna just come back in the lineup, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I chold to play it safe. And no, that's sometimes site,
Speaker 1: that's what you should have done with the andy he has.
Speaker 1: Like in a fifteen team league, we were deciding, you know,
Speaker 1: Yandy Diaz, I think six or seven games, although six
Speaker 1: it was six games coming in or Hayes's agil with
Speaker 1: five games against right handed pitching, and yesterday he sat
Speaker 1: out for Eric Thames, So that's a logical choice. He
Speaker 1: just got hurt and you didn't expect that he was.
Speaker 1: He was hurt coming in the week. If he was
Speaker 1: gonna player or not. So we rolled the dice in
Speaker 1: it didn't they off turned out badly. Greg m did
Speaker 1: not very off. Frank, you know I could pick up
Speaker 1: in this league. I can welcome to the squad. JD.
Speaker 1: Davis or Roddy Tiles. Is he available? Think? So? Maybe
Speaker 1: that's the guy you just hit another he had a
Speaker 1: double and scored another runs. It's not available like Blue
Speaker 1: like bluett owns him. Yeah, this league, there's nothing out.
Speaker 1: Just pick him up. I don't know, I'm not I
Speaker 1: don't have that in front of many. Do you have
Speaker 1: any best bets forever today? Oh? I should. Let's exactly
Speaker 1: do that four minutes ago. Let's do the fantasy look
Speaker 1: back at last night, and I don't want it anymore.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do the fantasy best bets forever. It's
Speaker 1: not really fantasy, it's it's it's true best best forever.
Speaker 1: The most games today are in the afternoon, so only
Speaker 1: I leaves two games on later on, and I think
Speaker 1: this one's obvious. Man, at least for me give me
Speaker 1: at plus one six P four, I mean the White
Speaker 1: Sox later against Corbyn Martin and the Astros. Interesting plus
Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going back to what we what we like,
Speaker 1: and that's that's the four oh seven games today with
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twins going up against the Angels, and um,
Speaker 1: the odds are actually dropping. There's been more money coming
Speaker 1: in on the Angels, Greg because this was minus one
Speaker 1: fifty when I look before the show. It's now minus
Speaker 1: one forty. Beautiful money line for Minnesota, the Minnesota Twins,
Speaker 1: and Martin Perez on the mount. So I would take
Speaker 1: that money line here with the Twins. It's also interesting,
Speaker 1: Frank the who we're under that games ten, which is wild,
Speaker 1: but I thought about that. But the Twins could score
Speaker 1: ten runs against Green. That's why I'm not touching that.
Speaker 1: But Nolah versus Lester that totals nine and a half.
Speaker 1: I saw that as well. You know what that tells
Speaker 1: me is that the wind is probably blowing out right.
Speaker 1: It's probably what we're looking at here must be because
Speaker 1: that seems that seems yeah, I mean the under. I
Speaker 1: don't think that the under is a bad play there.
Speaker 1: That's something that I was looking at as well. But
Speaker 1: it's look, Aaron No has not been himself this year.
Speaker 1: John Lester has probably outperforming himself formed what we've expected
Speaker 1: from him, so this could be like this is this,
Speaker 1: this is a sucker play the under in that in
Speaker 1: the Chicago game. Don't get the sucker play. Und I
Speaker 1: probably just wouldn't touch it. Overall, I think the game
Speaker 1: you liked though, with the Astros and White Tux the
Speaker 1: over is a good beat over Night over nine minus
Speaker 1: one away actually prefer the under. Really that's a tricky one.
Speaker 1: It's tricky because you got Covin Martin on the mountain
Speaker 1: who more than likely gonna get really good one was
Speaker 1: Matt and that was against Boston, so it's like the
Speaker 1: jury is still kind of out on Corbyn Martin, but
Speaker 1: more than like the gonna give a at least two
Speaker 1: or three runs something like that, okay, and he has
Speaker 1: the pedigree and you've got Glos pitch well, but he's
Speaker 1: playing the Astros, so he might give a four. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's gonna be close. That's like day over there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't love the total in that game,
Speaker 1: but they do like the twinkies, like my twinkies minus one.
Speaker 1: I do agree that under ten the numbers probably too hot.
Speaker 1: Minus one ninety for the Astros. I like Gelto. I
Speaker 1: just old I would never touch minus one ninety with
Speaker 1: Martin on the mountain. You know, it's just it's just
Speaker 1: not It's either you bet the white Sox there or
Speaker 1: you just don't touch that game at right. Correct? Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: So there you go. We only have five games left
Speaker 1: on today's slate, that most most everything taking place this
Speaker 1: afternoon here right now. Yeah, we got a lot of
Speaker 1: games for them started before one o'clock. How about that?
Speaker 1: About that? Well, they break for the next twenty two
Speaker 1: hours and then we come back tomorrow. Maybe my Floria,
Speaker 1: maybe not, maybe Chris Metro, maybe not. A freaking eye
Speaker 1: getting wrong, freaking eye. We're gonna be here. We hope
Speaker 1: you will be too. For Chris Ventra, for Dr A,
Speaker 1: for Bran Zigler, for everybody downstairs, For Frank Staffel, I
Speaker 1: am grig Sells. Thank you so much for watching this
Speaker 1: fantasy best friends forever. We'll do it all again tomorrow,
Speaker 1: we hope.
