Fantasy Sports d 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:59.840 your Network, Frank Staples hang out and where's it with 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:04.800 Thurn around Thrones theories during the break? The only thing is, 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.560 like we're talking about the Hound and the probably Game 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.640 Bowl that's coming, the only thing and it's it's gonna happen. 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.280 It doesn't make sense to me why, Like the Hound 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:14.840 just doesn't want to fight anymore, Like he said that 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.560 multiple times. He doesn't want he's done with this world. 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.360 That's why he wants to just go be a builder, 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.320 right and now he's gonna go fight for Danny, Like 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.360 why would he want to do that. I think if 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.360 for nothing else, he just wants to kill his brother. 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.360 Do you think he's gonna Do you think he's gonna 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.000 go back there? He still saw the tension. So if 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.720 you remember the episode from last season when when they 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.560 bring the White to King's Landing, like he walked up 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.560 to his brother and was like, like, there's still there's 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.560 still tension there. Definitely wants to be the one to 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.000 do it. I agree with you, but I also think 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.520 he's just like he doesn't want to, like he doesn't 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.880 wanta fight anymore. That's what they're gonna have to obviously 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.000 establish early on, like all these people survived this, why 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.680 do they want to go fight for the stupid throne? 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.600 Who cares? At this point, they're just happen it will 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.920 be alive, and that they will obviously established that very 0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.800 early on. I would think in the next episode, like 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.320 he's all in the trailer, everybody in that room with 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.040 Danny and Sons and the crew, like, yeah, there's gonna 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.640 be be the Queen. Do you think like nothing's gonna 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:09.560 happen in this next episode? Don't. I don't think anything's 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.560 gonna happen. I kind of agree, it's could be like 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.280 rebuilding winter Fell whatever, and the march to getting the 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.120 all the side of the King's Landing, you'll end with 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:20.600 a cliffhanger. I probably like Danny at King's Landing like that. 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.640 Honestly so, I because I was on HBO go and 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.480 I started it late. I wasn't keeping tracking about the 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.239 time of the episode last night. I knew it was 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.920 eight minutes long, but I I didn't want to pause 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.520 it and find out like where I was in the episode, 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.320 so I wouldn't know when it was over. There were 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.720 multiple times, like I thought the night, keep walking out 0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.240 to brand, I'm just gonna go black, and it would 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.720 be a cliffhanger. We wouldn't know what happened till next week. 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.840 Actually been pretty awesome. Had it been so mad, yeah, 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:48.040 like you would have been mad, but it would have 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.240 built like the as a patient cree Oh my god, 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:55.440 Oh my god. Yeah, so's that that was awesome? It was. 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:57.959 It was still awesome. It's any other way we're talking. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.639 You want to get into Frank before we kind of 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:03.200 go over the Suppo stuff. M yesterday, Um No, I 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.079 mean on the rundown to have like the most added 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.280 and most drop players on Yahoo talk a little bit 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.959 about that. Um, overall, No, I think we hit on, 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.560 like a lot of the big names, like the speculative 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.560 closer guys. This week Cameilia opened on Luke Jackson. Those 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.160 are the biggest names that I've seen thrown around. I mean, 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.480 everyone else on this list is kind of like lower 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.080 end bids. Brandon Drury, Felix Payne has a little bit 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:30.440 of intrigue to me in some deeper leagues. Um, overall, no, 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:31.800 I think we I think we hit on, you know, 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.679 a lot of the biggest names. All right, let's let's 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.120 start going over some of the stats from over the weekend, 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.320 specifically with the New York Yankees, because why not, can 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:45.880 you Greg Yasmin let me twenty sports the Yankees Giants 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.120 this weekend. Thank god they're paying the Giants because they're 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.360 just so beat up. As Frank said before every time 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.280 he was back, you have to sacrifice another one. They 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:58.000 sacrifice two more yesterday and well supposedly two low and 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.520 you are going on rehab assignments this week and do 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.480 Harman seems way too soon, way too soon, Like we're 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.600 gonna get the updates sometime this week, Like oh need 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.600 season A new surgery. I think so as well. That's 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.960 a lot. So they're gonna done with a cast of 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.360 misfits right now. And I know in some of the 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.320 deeper leagues that we played in, actually a name that 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.240 we haven't mentioned yet, Tyler Wade, who actually has five 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.640 stolen bases. So if you play in a deeper Rhodo 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.400 league or you just need speed in a head to 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:27.000 head categories league, Wade has been playing most of the time. 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.720 It seems like he's playing time is pretty solidified, at 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.279 least for the time being, because DJ Mayhew goes down 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.200 and Geo Orchella goes down and they just don't have bodies. 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.039 So Tyler Waids is a guy who's gonna play, and 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.640 he's been pretty aggressive on the bass pats. Who would 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.160 have thought the Yankees playing small ball, but um, you know, 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.239 Gary Santez comes back, he hits the two home runs. 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.200 He's really the big bopper in the lineup right now. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.520 But outside of that, they gotta find ways to generate offense, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.719 and Tyler Wade stealing bases has been one of the 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.920 ways that they are generating off you're also using one 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:57.560 other big bobber who you're feeling really really good right now, 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.560 and that's the one Yankee that actually remain healthy other 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:04.000 than Labor Torres. Luke Voit, and Luke voy has just 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.560 been points league. Last week he put up overt Yeah, 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.520 Luke Luke Voyd has just been tremendous. We give you 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.800 his line on the season's betting two eight three with 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.119 a three nineties seven on base percentage, eight home runs, 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.480 twenty five r v I. Three out of his last 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.400 four games he had at least three hits. Uh, it's 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.080 just been ridiculous. I know, we could go that's how 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.920 the average fluctuate so quickly, given that there's still so 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.440 a small number of that bats. But a week ago 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.080 he has been to twenty now eight three given the 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.960 hot streak. But Luke Foy, he is for real. The 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.800 power is for real. He's obviously run away with the 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.039 first base job, and I don't want to say first 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.480 base for the future, but he's earned the spot in 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.240 a lot of He's been everything the Eights could have 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.080 hoped for more. Yeah. Absolutely, And you know people kind 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.359 of had question marks about um, you know, his playing 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.760 time entering the season. Greg Bird gets hurt. Greg Bird 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:53.839 is always hurt. But but you know, we were touting 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.120 Luke Void when we did the first base preview before 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.360 the season, because he hits the ball extremely hard. I said, 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.480 I thought he could be this year. Is Hazus Aguilar 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.280 looks like it's going pretty well so far. I mean, 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.320 he isn't your prototypical home run hitter. He actually hits 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.520 a lot of line drives. He he doesn't hit a 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:11.520 lot of flyballs. Actually he's a thirty two percent fly 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.880 ball rate, but is almost thirty five percent line drive 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.279 rate right now, Greg, And he goes to all fields. 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:18.960 You see it, like he has that stroke where you 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:20.760 go to right field, you go to right center field. 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.000 In Yankee Stadium, the walk crate has been ridiculous, almost 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.960 fourteen percent. It seems like something that the Yankees, uh, 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.720 their lineup and organization overall prides himself in is having 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.960 a good eye taking your walks. Kind of, you know, 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:34.840 let's keep the line moving, let's get a lot of 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.720 guys on base, and then we'll kind of we'll we'll 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:38.200 get the big hit, We'll get the home run with 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.279 a lot of guys on base via the walk. But 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.000 just picking up where you where he left off last year. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.400 So if you had any concerns about Luke voy his 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.640 playing time and whether or not he was legit, those 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.040 are gone now, Greg, Yeah, they are all gone. Right now. 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.640 Everything is for real when it comes to Luke boyd Um. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.640 So if you drafted him, Uh, you're feeling pretty pretty 0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:01.159 good at the moment. For the San Francisco Giants, they're 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:05.320 all very, very bad. So you got it's nothing. Yeah, 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:07.200 I mean, just look at this lineup man, Joe Panic 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.600 and Herves Solarte. So I didn't understand. All these rumors 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.960 about the Giants being in on Breyf's harbor just not good. 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.720 They're not good. They need to you know, all right, 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.880 let all these guys play, let your pictures play, let 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.720 your bullpen perform well, and then trade everyone away and 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.200 restock the farm and kind of do what the Miami 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.240 Marlins are doing right now. The thing is, at least 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.480 the Marlins had assets to trade away. They had Yellow, 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.720 had Statin, they had Marcelo Zuna. Marcello Zuna, by the way, 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.560 completely ridiculous. The Giants need to go through that model. 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:37.920 They gotta completely tear it down. They gotta be bad 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.480 for a couple of just gotta build it back up. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.760 Maybe try and I know he's the face Yeer franchise 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:44.760 and it would be weird to see him in another uniform. 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:46.880 Try and shop Buster Posey. Just see what you get 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.800 from Madison bomb Gardner. Uh, they've had their dynasty years Greg, 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.120 they want what three World Series and five seasons. They 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.520 got the job done, but unfortunately their time has come 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.560 and gone. This is not a good baseball team. No, 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.679 it's it's really not. And we'll see what far Zet 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.840 can do to fix that San Francisco and trade for 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.400 Kevin Pard to it just seems like a last gas effort, 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.160 like signing a guy like Tyler aust be like to 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.320 be let's be fair in those two instances, like they 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.320 were playing guys just or not mine. There's not major leaguers, 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.240 Like basically, it's not it's not like you're trading an 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.920 asset for Kevin Pollar. They didn't treat anything worth. They 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:21.960 treat guys that designated for assignment. And let's get some 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.679 of these young kids up here though, and started playing 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.960 like the Tyler Beatties of the world. And yeah, I mean, 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:27.320 I don't know why Tyler beat He's not the major 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:31.000 at this point that doesn't make sense to me. Um. Yeah, 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.360 so you mentioned Marcella Zuna. Let's get into that. Carlino's 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:37.680 defeat of the Reds yesterday five to two. Marcello Duna 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.040 did not have a hit, but he did score two 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.920 runs and a. Zuna has been on fire this season. 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.240 He's been in two sixty four tenno runs, twenty six tributes, 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:52.200 Pie's at three sixty two. Also a hilarious headshot on ESPN. Yeah, 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.320 Marcello Zuna, I I'm all about doing the crazy hair, 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.240 crazy facial hair. I don't know what's going on. What 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.360 is this? It literally lost the bet, Greg, Like that's 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:03.959 something I would make you do if you lost a bet. 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:05.600 To me, Greg, you have to grow out your beard 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.320 and you have to die the middle of it blonde. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.679 It looks like something that it's like not even he's 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.360 like a full beard, Like the middle of it it's 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.720 like only a part of his face. It's it's very strange. 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.440 But Marcella is donna acstolutely mashing this year. You know 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.640 that when he's healthy, he is one of the top 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.640 hitting outfielders in baseball. I mean, I don't even think 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.120 that is you know, overstating anything, because you look at 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.560 two years ago with the Marlins, this guy had thirty 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.640 seven home runs with a hundred and twenty four ribs. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.720 In Marlin's part, he had three twelve and again he 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.959 was kind of similar to Yellow. And he's one launch 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.720 angle change away from being a potential forty home run hitter. 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.080 And now he's in the Cardinals lineup, which is a 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.079 phenomenal lineup. I mean, the Cardinals, it seems like they 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.400 can't do anything wrong right now. He's got a two 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.000 sixty four batting average. I would imagine that gets better. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.160 I mean, it's bad. It is only a career guy, 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.120 but the power has been there. He's got ten homers, 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.040 three runs scored, and they mentioned the lonch angle. Greg, 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.640 the fly ball rate this year is up to forty 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.480 four percent. He's a thirty percent fly ball rate for 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.800 his career, so that's up ten percent, which means we 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.920 could get a few more home runs. We could potentially 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.960 be talking about a forty home run hitter out of 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.240 Marcello Zuna. Greg, I'll throw this back your way, and 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:21.440 you tell me if I think I overrated guys who 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.439 were banged up during the preseason. That's why did say 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.480 I didn't end up with Tommy fam I didn't end 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.000 up with Marcello Zuna. To be frank, I had concerns 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.320 about Zuna and his power because he was dealing with 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.560 a shoulder injury. Yeah, Like his off season was just 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.920 really weird. He had off seasons shoulder surgery. He wasn't 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.960 around the team a lot during spring training. It seemed 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.240 like there might have been some miscommunication between him and 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.120 the organization. It was just overall a weird off season 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.240 for Marcello Zuna. But then comes in looks completely healthy 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.719 and now he's mashing. Did I overvalue injuries too much 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.760 in spring training? I don't think so. Even say that 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.240 a lot about yourself, that you overvalued injuries and you 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.240 want to get a cautious approach, and you said it 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:02.520 a lot this off season. If they go right, whatever, 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.040 it won't just won't be your guy. And I think 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:05.440 that's really the outlook you have to take on it. 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.400 I wasn't a Marcellosuna guy at all coming into this year, 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:10.880 much like you, And that wasn't one of the ones 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.320 that you convinced me on. It was more of ones 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.080 I just I didn't want to to to deal with it. 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.199 He was battling injuries last year. I thought it was 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.640 like kind of a weird year in St. Louis. He 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.480 was hurting the spring. He was hurt again a couple 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.960 of weeks ago in April, which somehow was still going 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.800 by the way, I cannot believe or not in me yet. 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.079 The April has been a long month. Yeah, it's probably 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:34.440 only being thirty days. But nevertheless, I I just nine 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.720 more Ziello, Juna, we got it wrong. Like I don't 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.600 think in general you were overly cautious, like you mentioned 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.680 with Carlos Correa and Jose L to Ba. You just 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.040 have been burned in the past, so why wouldn't you 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.600 just beat cautious there. I don't think it was so 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.840 wrong of you to be honest. And I think part 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.000 of it for me just kind of like reflecting now 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:55.800 in the draft season, once he was going around a 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.920 lot of outfielders or just after some outfielders that I liked, 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:01.520 and they had a lot of hype, you know, the 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.400 David DALs of the world, Michael Kinford. Oh and and 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.240 he wrote Aria who you know, rightfully, So he's been 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.880 awesome to start the season. And you know, Eloy Amenez 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.679 was starting to gain some steam and he's starting to 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.000 go ahead of him. Actually, one of the most dropped 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.120 players on Yahoo right now, Greg Eloy Amenez. I know 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.520 he's on the d L, but I l rather I 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.280 would not be dropping him. I would obviously remained patient 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:22.960 with him. But you know, there were just a few 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.880 Alvators that were being drafted around Marcello Zuna just overall 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.240 during the draft season that I liked a little bit more, 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.959 and I was a little bit scared about the shoulders, 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.160 so he was blocked into Oduna or maybe you know, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.120 you've kept the faith all along. You thought he was 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.480 a good ballplayer and that he was gonna be healthy 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.200 when the season started, and you hit on a gym 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.040 because he's well on his way to perhaps a career 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.000 year here, Greg. Marcello Zuna also a fantastic start for 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:54.280 the St. Louis Cardinals. The Paul the Young era continues 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.360 to kind of just roll on it and things are 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.679 going well with him. Dexter Feller continues to hit two 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.600 franc as, he was two for three. Young is just 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.040 like one of the most underrated guys right now in baseball. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:07.120 He's thinking three. The big question that third for the Cardinals. 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.280 The big question that we had yesterday or not yesterday, 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.880 but last week going into the week was how much 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.800 was Josie Martinez going to continue to play with Harrison 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.920 Bader and Tyler O'Neill both back off the I l 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:24.960 answer every day. Jose Martinez played every day last week 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:28.680 as both Beder and the extra Fami being hot as well. 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.240 Both Beata and O'Neill went up coming off the bench. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.360 So they're going to ride this Jose Martinez hot streak. 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.360 And I'm sure that you have him. You're doing the same, 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.600 But I'm not fearful. As long as he continues to hit, 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.280 Martinez is gonna find his way into the lineup. Yeah. 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.760 I would hold him in deeper leagues obviously, but shallower 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.400 one's Greg playing every day. It's gonna happen though, played 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.360 every day, Yeah, he has. I just I have a 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.520 little bit more concerned, like in my home league, twelve 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.960 team points league, free agency, Um, you know it's not 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:00.679 that deep of a league, so there's some good players 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.760 on free agency. Actually dropped him from Max Kepler reading 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.920 about that. I don't love it, um, just because in 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.440 in points leads, I want the volume and I do 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.240 have concerns. While I know he's played every day in 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:11.920 the past week, Greg I do think at some point 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.480 Jose Martinez is going to lose playing, no doubt about it. 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.680 But he specifically said shallower league is where you would 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.440 drop him, and that's actually where I'd be more apt 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.600 to keep him because once he gets cold, there's going 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.560 to be plenty of players out there for you to 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.400 go grab. It's not like you have to grab him 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.480 now because so and so Max Kepler potentially will be gone. 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.200 It's a shallower league. They won't be gone later on. 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.400 So I am We're willing to ride out this way 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.240 to the very end than I am to cut bait 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.840 in a shallow league. Kepler, Gregory. Here another one though, 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:41.240 I mean, over the past week red and red hot, 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.280 and it's the Twins lineup overall. I mean, in the 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:47.400 past week for Max Kepler eight seven runs scored, four ribbies, 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.760 four home runs, eight ribbies, three sixty four batting average. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.360 The guy's just been absolutely mashing and he's most of 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.960 the time against right handed pitching. At least he's leading off. 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.720 I mean, he has three multi hit games in a row. Um, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.200 and I know some people were tapped touting Max Kepler 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:02.840 has a breakout this year because you know he was 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.960 gonna lead off for a really, really good Twins lineup. 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.040 And you know, if he's out there in twelve team 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.160 league's only fifties six percent owned in Yahoo, I'm just 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.680 trying to find a way to get him on my roster. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.440 So I guess overall, like, if I'm choosing between a 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:19.600 Jose Martinez and Max Kepler, I would probably take Max Kepler. Again, 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.920 that's in shallower leagues, but in deeper formats, I would 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.600 keep Jose Martinez around. This is you know, if the 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:30.480 National League adapts to the d h GREG next year year, 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.040 you know, in the future. Um, I mean, that's one 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.560 that's one of the He's one of the guys that 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:39.840 would would benefit most from that. Actually watched a lot 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.240 of that game yesterday because I had Jack Flaherty pitching 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:47.040 in a few leaks. He was awesome the other side 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:49.880 for the red For the Reds, we have to mention it. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:51.880 I know he's only batting, and I know he's one 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.400 of my favorites, so I bring him up a lot 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.480 on the show, and I recognize that Jesse Winker, who 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.200 is now on a one to three, four five six 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:01.720 game hitting week, a couple of doubles in there, a 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.920 home running there. He's got seven home runs only twelve reviews, 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.080 which is crazy. But Winker has been a lot hotter 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.160 as of late as being moved out of that leadoff spot, 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.800 and we said it for whatever reason, when he bats leadoff, 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.440 something doesn't work. When he's batting three or four somewhere 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.880 in the middle of lineup, he is just much more comfortable. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.240 I know that batting average doesn't look good now, but 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.440 just remember a week or so ago, it was a 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.400 hunderd points less than that. It was like one thirty 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.960 two rather than that two thirty eight where it is now. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.680 Jesse Winker much hotter than he was just a little 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:32.120 while ago. Yeah, Greg, Over the past two weeks specifically, 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:35.000 he's hitting two eighties six with three home runs eight 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.920 runs scored. Um. I still think that the Reds are 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.560 trying to figure out the right combination of players in 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.560 this lineup and they just haven't been able to do 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:45.400 it yet. Maybe they gotta put Jose Pazza at the 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:47.360 top of the line up, which sounds crazy because he's 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.640 not a guy that walked, but maybe that that's something 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:51.720 that he needs to get going, and they need some 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.000 speed at the top of that lineup. I know, you 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:58.360 know the the moneyball mantra here is all right, well, 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.480 let's get as many hiovp guy to the top of 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:02.920 the line up to have Joey Votto. But overall the 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:07.040 Red's lineup has been inconsistent, so they're still trying to 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:08.840 find the right combination. Maybe they do something like that, 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.639 trying to find a way to put Jose frozen to 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.760 near the top of the lineup. I mean, we're still struggling. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.640 Joey Votto hasn't been great. Jesse Winker has been better 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.560 than Greg. I agree, get a minded team. We're leaving 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:25.840 now for a short break. Well back light after this. 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.960 Lose weight now got a fat one dot com.
