Speaker 1: just Become best Friends? Fantasy best Friends Forever? Our number
Speaker 1: two with the Fantasy best Friends Forever? Fantasy Sports d
Speaker 1: your Network, Frank Staples hang out and where's it with
Speaker 1: Thurn around Thrones theories during the break? The only thing is,
Speaker 1: like we're talking about the Hound and the probably Game
Speaker 1: Bowl that's coming, the only thing and it's it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to me why, Like the Hound
Speaker 1: just doesn't want to fight anymore, Like he said that
Speaker 1: multiple times. He doesn't want he's done with this world.
Speaker 1: That's why he wants to just go be a builder,
Speaker 1: right and now he's gonna go fight for Danny, Like
Speaker 1: why would he want to do that. I think if
Speaker 1: for nothing else, he just wants to kill his brother.
Speaker 1: Do you think he's gonna Do you think he's gonna
Speaker 1: go back there? He still saw the tension. So if
Speaker 1: you remember the episode from last season when when they
Speaker 1: bring the White to King's Landing, like he walked up
Speaker 1: to his brother and was like, like, there's still there's
Speaker 1: still tension there. Definitely wants to be the one to
Speaker 1: do it. I agree with you, but I also think
Speaker 1: he's just like he doesn't want to, like he doesn't
Speaker 1: wanta fight anymore. That's what they're gonna have to obviously
Speaker 1: establish early on, like all these people survived this, why
Speaker 1: do they want to go fight for the stupid throne?
Speaker 1: Who cares? At this point, they're just happen it will
Speaker 1: be alive, and that they will obviously established that very
Speaker 1: early on. I would think in the next episode, like
Speaker 1: he's all in the trailer, everybody in that room with
Speaker 1: Danny and Sons and the crew, like, yeah, there's gonna
Speaker 1: be be the Queen. Do you think like nothing's gonna
Speaker 1: happen in this next episode? Don't. I don't think anything's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I kind of agree, it's could be like
Speaker 1: rebuilding winter Fell whatever, and the march to getting the
Speaker 1: all the side of the King's Landing, you'll end with
Speaker 1: a cliffhanger. I probably like Danny at King's Landing like that.
Speaker 1: Honestly so, I because I was on HBO go and
Speaker 1: I started it late. I wasn't keeping tracking about the
Speaker 1: time of the episode last night. I knew it was
Speaker 1: eight minutes long, but I I didn't want to pause
Speaker 1: it and find out like where I was in the episode,
Speaker 1: so I wouldn't know when it was over. There were
Speaker 1: multiple times, like I thought the night, keep walking out
Speaker 1: to brand, I'm just gonna go black, and it would
Speaker 1: be a cliffhanger. We wouldn't know what happened till next week.
Speaker 1: Actually been pretty awesome. Had it been so mad, yeah,
Speaker 1: like you would have been mad, but it would have
Speaker 1: built like the as a patient cree Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, so's that that was awesome? It was.
Speaker 1: It was still awesome. It's any other way we're talking.
Speaker 1: You want to get into Frank before we kind of
Speaker 1: go over the Suppo stuff. M yesterday, Um No, I
Speaker 1: mean on the rundown to have like the most added
Speaker 1: and most drop players on Yahoo talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about that. Um, overall, No, I think we hit on,
Speaker 1: like a lot of the big names, like the speculative
Speaker 1: closer guys. This week Cameilia opened on Luke Jackson. Those
Speaker 1: are the biggest names that I've seen thrown around. I mean,
Speaker 1: everyone else on this list is kind of like lower
Speaker 1: end bids. Brandon Drury, Felix Payne has a little bit
Speaker 1: of intrigue to me in some deeper leagues. Um, overall, no,
Speaker 1: I think we I think we hit on, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of the biggest names. All right, let's let's
Speaker 1: start going over some of the stats from over the weekend,
Speaker 1: specifically with the New York Yankees, because why not, can
Speaker 1: you Greg Yasmin let me twenty sports the Yankees Giants
Speaker 1: this weekend. Thank god they're paying the Giants because they're
Speaker 1: just so beat up. As Frank said before every time
Speaker 1: he was back, you have to sacrifice another one. They
Speaker 1: sacrifice two more yesterday and well supposedly two low and
Speaker 1: you are going on rehab assignments this week and do
Speaker 1: Harman seems way too soon, way too soon, Like we're
Speaker 1: gonna get the updates sometime this week, Like oh need
Speaker 1: season A new surgery. I think so as well. That's
Speaker 1: a lot. So they're gonna done with a cast of
Speaker 1: misfits right now. And I know in some of the
Speaker 1: deeper leagues that we played in, actually a name that
Speaker 1: we haven't mentioned yet, Tyler Wade, who actually has five
Speaker 1: stolen bases. So if you play in a deeper Rhodo
Speaker 1: league or you just need speed in a head to
Speaker 1: head categories league, Wade has been playing most of the time.
Speaker 1: It seems like he's playing time is pretty solidified, at
Speaker 1: least for the time being, because DJ Mayhew goes down
Speaker 1: and Geo Orchella goes down and they just don't have bodies.
Speaker 1: So Tyler Waids is a guy who's gonna play, and
Speaker 1: he's been pretty aggressive on the bass pats. Who would
Speaker 1: have thought the Yankees playing small ball, but um, you know,
Speaker 1: Gary Santez comes back, he hits the two home runs.
Speaker 1: He's really the big bopper in the lineup right now.
Speaker 1: But outside of that, they gotta find ways to generate offense,
Speaker 1: and Tyler Wade stealing bases has been one of the
Speaker 1: ways that they are generating off you're also using one
Speaker 1: other big bobber who you're feeling really really good right now,
Speaker 1: and that's the one Yankee that actually remain healthy other
Speaker 1: than Labor Torres. Luke Voit, and Luke voy has just
Speaker 1: been points league. Last week he put up overt Yeah,
Speaker 1: Luke Luke Voyd has just been tremendous. We give you
Speaker 1: his line on the season's betting two eight three with
Speaker 1: a three nineties seven on base percentage, eight home runs,
Speaker 1: twenty five r v I. Three out of his last
Speaker 1: four games he had at least three hits. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: just been ridiculous. I know, we could go that's how
Speaker 1: the average fluctuate so quickly, given that there's still so
Speaker 1: a small number of that bats. But a week ago
Speaker 1: he has been to twenty now eight three given the
Speaker 1: hot streak. But Luke Foy, he is for real. The
Speaker 1: power is for real. He's obviously run away with the
Speaker 1: first base job, and I don't want to say first
Speaker 1: base for the future, but he's earned the spot in
Speaker 1: a lot of He's been everything the Eights could have
Speaker 1: hoped for more. Yeah. Absolutely, And you know people kind
Speaker 1: of had question marks about um, you know, his playing
Speaker 1: time entering the season. Greg Bird gets hurt. Greg Bird
Speaker 1: is always hurt. But but you know, we were touting
Speaker 1: Luke Void when we did the first base preview before
Speaker 1: the season, because he hits the ball extremely hard. I said,
Speaker 1: I thought he could be this year. Is Hazus Aguilar
Speaker 1: looks like it's going pretty well so far. I mean,
Speaker 1: he isn't your prototypical home run hitter. He actually hits
Speaker 1: a lot of line drives. He he doesn't hit a
Speaker 1: lot of flyballs. Actually he's a thirty two percent fly
Speaker 1: ball rate, but is almost thirty five percent line drive
Speaker 1: rate right now, Greg, And he goes to all fields.
Speaker 1: You see it, like he has that stroke where you
Speaker 1: go to right field, you go to right center field.
Speaker 1: In Yankee Stadium, the walk crate has been ridiculous, almost
Speaker 1: fourteen percent. It seems like something that the Yankees, uh,
Speaker 1: their lineup and organization overall prides himself in is having
Speaker 1: a good eye taking your walks. Kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: let's keep the line moving, let's get a lot of
Speaker 1: guys on base, and then we'll kind of we'll we'll
Speaker 1: get the big hit, We'll get the home run with
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on base via the walk. But
Speaker 1: just picking up where you where he left off last year.
Speaker 1: So if you had any concerns about Luke voy his
Speaker 1: playing time and whether or not he was legit, those
Speaker 1: are gone now, Greg, Yeah, they are all gone. Right now.
Speaker 1: Everything is for real when it comes to Luke boyd Um.
Speaker 1: So if you drafted him, Uh, you're feeling pretty pretty
Speaker 1: good at the moment. For the San Francisco Giants, they're
Speaker 1: all very, very bad. So you got it's nothing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, just look at this lineup man, Joe Panic
Speaker 1: and Herves Solarte. So I didn't understand. All these rumors
Speaker 1: about the Giants being in on Breyf's harbor just not good.
Speaker 1: They're not good. They need to you know, all right,
Speaker 1: let all these guys play, let your pictures play, let
Speaker 1: your bullpen perform well, and then trade everyone away and
Speaker 1: restock the farm and kind of do what the Miami
Speaker 1: Marlins are doing right now. The thing is, at least
Speaker 1: the Marlins had assets to trade away. They had Yellow,
Speaker 1: had Statin, they had Marcelo Zuna. Marcello Zuna, by the way,
Speaker 1: completely ridiculous. The Giants need to go through that model.
Speaker 1: They gotta completely tear it down. They gotta be bad
Speaker 1: for a couple of just gotta build it back up.
Speaker 1: Maybe try and I know he's the face Yeer franchise
Speaker 1: and it would be weird to see him in another uniform.
Speaker 1: Try and shop Buster Posey. Just see what you get
Speaker 1: from Madison bomb Gardner. Uh, they've had their dynasty years Greg,
Speaker 1: they want what three World Series and five seasons. They
Speaker 1: got the job done, but unfortunately their time has come
Speaker 1: and gone. This is not a good baseball team. No,
Speaker 1: it's it's really not. And we'll see what far Zet
Speaker 1: can do to fix that San Francisco and trade for
Speaker 1: Kevin Pard to it just seems like a last gas effort,
Speaker 1: like signing a guy like Tyler aust be like to
Speaker 1: be let's be fair in those two instances, like they
Speaker 1: were playing guys just or not mine. There's not major leaguers,
Speaker 1: Like basically, it's not it's not like you're trading an
Speaker 1: asset for Kevin Pollar. They didn't treat anything worth. They
Speaker 1: treat guys that designated for assignment. And let's get some
Speaker 1: of these young kids up here though, and started playing
Speaker 1: like the Tyler Beatties of the world. And yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know why Tyler beat He's not the major
Speaker 1: at this point that doesn't make sense to me. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you mentioned Marcella Zuna. Let's get into that. Carlino's
Speaker 1: defeat of the Reds yesterday five to two. Marcello Duna
Speaker 1: did not have a hit, but he did score two
Speaker 1: runs and a. Zuna has been on fire this season.
Speaker 1: He's been in two sixty four tenno runs, twenty six tributes,
Speaker 1: Pie's at three sixty two. Also a hilarious headshot on ESPN. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Marcello Zuna, I I'm all about doing the crazy hair,
Speaker 1: crazy facial hair. I don't know what's going on. What
Speaker 1: is this? It literally lost the bet, Greg, Like that's
Speaker 1: something I would make you do if you lost a bet.
Speaker 1: To me, Greg, you have to grow out your beard
Speaker 1: and you have to die the middle of it blonde.
Speaker 1: It looks like something that it's like not even he's
Speaker 1: like a full beard, Like the middle of it it's
Speaker 1: like only a part of his face. It's it's very strange.
Speaker 1: But Marcella is donna acstolutely mashing this year. You know
Speaker 1: that when he's healthy, he is one of the top
Speaker 1: hitting outfielders in baseball. I mean, I don't even think
Speaker 1: that is you know, overstating anything, because you look at
Speaker 1: two years ago with the Marlins, this guy had thirty
Speaker 1: seven home runs with a hundred and twenty four ribs.
Speaker 1: In Marlin's part, he had three twelve and again he
Speaker 1: was kind of similar to Yellow. And he's one launch
Speaker 1: angle change away from being a potential forty home run hitter.
Speaker 1: And now he's in the Cardinals lineup, which is a
Speaker 1: phenomenal lineup. I mean, the Cardinals, it seems like they
Speaker 1: can't do anything wrong right now. He's got a two
Speaker 1: sixty four batting average. I would imagine that gets better.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's bad. It is only a career guy,
Speaker 1: but the power has been there. He's got ten homers,
Speaker 1: three runs scored, and they mentioned the lonch angle. Greg,
Speaker 1: the fly ball rate this year is up to forty
Speaker 1: four percent. He's a thirty percent fly ball rate for
Speaker 1: his career, so that's up ten percent, which means we
Speaker 1: could get a few more home runs. We could potentially
Speaker 1: be talking about a forty home run hitter out of
Speaker 1: Marcello Zuna. Greg, I'll throw this back your way, and
Speaker 1: you tell me if I think I overrated guys who
Speaker 1: were banged up during the preseason. That's why did say
Speaker 1: I didn't end up with Tommy fam I didn't end
Speaker 1: up with Marcello Zuna. To be frank, I had concerns
Speaker 1: about Zuna and his power because he was dealing with
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury. Yeah, Like his off season was just
Speaker 1: really weird. He had off seasons shoulder surgery. He wasn't
Speaker 1: around the team a lot during spring training. It seemed
Speaker 1: like there might have been some miscommunication between him and
Speaker 1: the organization. It was just overall a weird off season
Speaker 1: for Marcello Zuna. But then comes in looks completely healthy
Speaker 1: and now he's mashing. Did I overvalue injuries too much
Speaker 1: in spring training? I don't think so. Even say that
Speaker 1: a lot about yourself, that you overvalued injuries and you
Speaker 1: want to get a cautious approach, and you said it
Speaker 1: a lot this off season. If they go right, whatever,
Speaker 1: it won't just won't be your guy. And I think
Speaker 1: that's really the outlook you have to take on it.
Speaker 1: I wasn't a Marcellosuna guy at all coming into this year,
Speaker 1: much like you, And that wasn't one of the ones
Speaker 1: that you convinced me on. It was more of ones
Speaker 1: I just I didn't want to to to deal with it.
Speaker 1: He was battling injuries last year. I thought it was
Speaker 1: like kind of a weird year in St. Louis. He
Speaker 1: was hurting the spring. He was hurt again a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago in April, which somehow was still going
Speaker 1: by the way, I cannot believe or not in me yet.
Speaker 1: The April has been a long month. Yeah, it's probably
Speaker 1: only being thirty days. But nevertheless, I I just nine
Speaker 1: more Ziello, Juna, we got it wrong. Like I don't
Speaker 1: think in general you were overly cautious, like you mentioned
Speaker 1: with Carlos Correa and Jose L to Ba. You just
Speaker 1: have been burned in the past, so why wouldn't you
Speaker 1: just beat cautious there. I don't think it was so
Speaker 1: wrong of you to be honest. And I think part
Speaker 1: of it for me just kind of like reflecting now
Speaker 1: in the draft season, once he was going around a
Speaker 1: lot of outfielders or just after some outfielders that I liked,
Speaker 1: and they had a lot of hype, you know, the
Speaker 1: David DALs of the world, Michael Kinford. Oh and and
Speaker 1: he wrote Aria who you know, rightfully, So he's been
Speaker 1: awesome to start the season. And you know, Eloy Amenez
Speaker 1: was starting to gain some steam and he's starting to
Speaker 1: go ahead of him. Actually, one of the most dropped
Speaker 1: players on Yahoo right now, Greg Eloy Amenez. I know
Speaker 1: he's on the d L, but I l rather I
Speaker 1: would not be dropping him. I would obviously remained patient
Speaker 1: with him. But you know, there were just a few
Speaker 1: Alvators that were being drafted around Marcello Zuna just overall
Speaker 1: during the draft season that I liked a little bit more,
Speaker 1: and I was a little bit scared about the shoulders,
Speaker 1: so he was blocked into Oduna or maybe you know,
Speaker 1: you've kept the faith all along. You thought he was
Speaker 1: a good ballplayer and that he was gonna be healthy
Speaker 1: when the season started, and you hit on a gym
Speaker 1: because he's well on his way to perhaps a career
Speaker 1: year here, Greg. Marcello Zuna also a fantastic start for
Speaker 1: the St. Louis Cardinals. The Paul the Young era continues
Speaker 1: to kind of just roll on it and things are
Speaker 1: going well with him. Dexter Feller continues to hit two
Speaker 1: franc as, he was two for three. Young is just
Speaker 1: like one of the most underrated guys right now in baseball.
Speaker 1: He's thinking three. The big question that third for the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: The big question that we had yesterday or not yesterday,
Speaker 1: but last week going into the week was how much
Speaker 1: was Josie Martinez going to continue to play with Harrison
Speaker 1: Bader and Tyler O'Neill both back off the I l
Speaker 1: answer every day. Jose Martinez played every day last week
Speaker 1: as both Beder and the extra Fami being hot as well.
Speaker 1: Both Beata and O'Neill went up coming off the bench.
Speaker 1: So they're going to ride this Jose Martinez hot streak.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that you have him. You're doing the same,
Speaker 1: But I'm not fearful. As long as he continues to hit,
Speaker 1: Martinez is gonna find his way into the lineup. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I would hold him in deeper leagues obviously, but shallower
Speaker 1: one's Greg playing every day. It's gonna happen though, played
Speaker 1: every day, Yeah, he has. I just I have a
Speaker 1: little bit more concerned, like in my home league, twelve
Speaker 1: team points league, free agency, Um, you know it's not
Speaker 1: that deep of a league, so there's some good players
Speaker 1: on free agency. Actually dropped him from Max Kepler reading
Speaker 1: about that. I don't love it, um, just because in
Speaker 1: in points leads, I want the volume and I do
Speaker 1: have concerns. While I know he's played every day in
Speaker 1: the past week, Greg I do think at some point
Speaker 1: Jose Martinez is going to lose playing, no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: But he specifically said shallower league is where you would
Speaker 1: drop him, and that's actually where I'd be more apt
Speaker 1: to keep him because once he gets cold, there's going
Speaker 1: to be plenty of players out there for you to
Speaker 1: go grab. It's not like you have to grab him
Speaker 1: now because so and so Max Kepler potentially will be gone.
Speaker 1: It's a shallower league. They won't be gone later on.
Speaker 1: So I am We're willing to ride out this way
Speaker 1: to the very end than I am to cut bait
Speaker 1: in a shallow league. Kepler, Gregory. Here another one though,
Speaker 1: I mean, over the past week red and red hot,
Speaker 1: and it's the Twins lineup overall. I mean, in the
Speaker 1: past week for Max Kepler eight seven runs scored, four ribbies,
Speaker 1: four home runs, eight ribbies, three sixty four batting average.
Speaker 1: The guy's just been absolutely mashing and he's most of
Speaker 1: the time against right handed pitching. At least he's leading off.
Speaker 1: I mean, he has three multi hit games in a row. Um,
Speaker 1: and I know some people were tapped touting Max Kepler
Speaker 1: has a breakout this year because you know he was
Speaker 1: gonna lead off for a really, really good Twins lineup.
Speaker 1: And you know, if he's out there in twelve team
Speaker 1: league's only fifties six percent owned in Yahoo, I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to find a way to get him on my roster.
Speaker 1: So I guess overall, like, if I'm choosing between a
Speaker 1: Jose Martinez and Max Kepler, I would probably take Max Kepler. Again,
Speaker 1: that's in shallower leagues, but in deeper formats, I would
Speaker 1: keep Jose Martinez around. This is you know, if the
Speaker 1: National League adapts to the d h GREG next year year,
Speaker 1: you know, in the future. Um, I mean, that's one
Speaker 1: that's one of the He's one of the guys that
Speaker 1: would would benefit most from that. Actually watched a lot
Speaker 1: of that game yesterday because I had Jack Flaherty pitching
Speaker 1: in a few leaks. He was awesome the other side
Speaker 1: for the red For the Reds, we have to mention it.
Speaker 1: I know he's only batting, and I know he's one
Speaker 1: of my favorites, so I bring him up a lot
Speaker 1: on the show, and I recognize that Jesse Winker, who
Speaker 1: is now on a one to three, four five six
Speaker 1: game hitting week, a couple of doubles in there, a
Speaker 1: home running there. He's got seven home runs only twelve reviews,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. But Winker has been a lot hotter
Speaker 1: as of late as being moved out of that leadoff spot,
Speaker 1: and we said it for whatever reason, when he bats leadoff,
Speaker 1: something doesn't work. When he's batting three or four somewhere
Speaker 1: in the middle of lineup, he is just much more comfortable.
Speaker 1: I know that batting average doesn't look good now, but
Speaker 1: just remember a week or so ago, it was a
Speaker 1: hunderd points less than that. It was like one thirty
Speaker 1: two rather than that two thirty eight where it is now.
Speaker 1: Jesse Winker much hotter than he was just a little
Speaker 1: while ago. Yeah, Greg, Over the past two weeks specifically,
Speaker 1: he's hitting two eighties six with three home runs eight
Speaker 1: runs scored. Um. I still think that the Reds are
Speaker 1: trying to figure out the right combination of players in
Speaker 1: this lineup and they just haven't been able to do
Speaker 1: it yet. Maybe they gotta put Jose Pazza at the
Speaker 1: top of the line up, which sounds crazy because he's
Speaker 1: not a guy that walked, but maybe that that's something
Speaker 1: that he needs to get going, and they need some
Speaker 1: speed at the top of that lineup. I know, you
Speaker 1: know the the moneyball mantra here is all right, well,
Speaker 1: let's get as many hiovp guy to the top of
Speaker 1: the line up to have Joey Votto. But overall the
Speaker 1: Red's lineup has been inconsistent, so they're still trying to
Speaker 1: find the right combination. Maybe they do something like that,
Speaker 1: trying to find a way to put Jose frozen to
Speaker 1: near the top of the lineup. I mean, we're still struggling.
Speaker 1: Joey Votto hasn't been great. Jesse Winker has been better
Speaker 1: than Greg. I agree, get a minded team. We're leaving
Speaker 1: now for a short break. Well back light after this.

Speaker 1: for Rose and had to leverage. Everyone knew that Arizona
Speaker 1: needed to get rid of him, so he'll go to Miami.
Speaker 1: And I still think Miami, obviously, I don't know if
Speaker 1: they think he's the answer. It's probably a stop Gaft
Speaker 1: because I still think they probably are going to be
Speaker 1: taken this year for two of next year. See, but
Speaker 1: then it doesn't make sense to me because if that's
Speaker 1: really your plan, Bryan Fitzpatrick is a great guy for
Speaker 1: that week days to the four pm Easter and on
Speaker 1: the Fantasy Sports Network and on your popular podcast providers.
Speaker 1: So yesterday you heard Frey talk about more traditional lat
Speaker 1: since napping yesterday it was nine. Today he's been first
Speaker 1: they snap, Greg, Mike drop. That's what I do, guys,
Speaker 1: this is what I do. I should be a manager
Speaker 1: in That's what I do. I just looked Sup during
Speaker 1: the break and say, oh, let's see if there's any
Speaker 1: lineups out yet for tonight. The find a way to
Speaker 1: get Jose, Like, get Jose Pazi going, get the red
Speaker 1: lineup going leading off today for your Cincinnati Reds Fose
Speaker 1: Parazza followed by Vado Suarez, Winker, Yasi Schebler, Jose Gleasias,
Speaker 1: Tucker Barnhart and Tanner Roller. Let's see if this is
Speaker 1: what we can get them going. Man, let's go about
Speaker 1: that for one moment. He's been horrific. Yes, he's been
Speaker 1: really bad. That the four home runs more or b
Speaker 1: I than Jesse Winker for the record that just one
Speaker 1: on the season, he's really really struggled. Yeah, looking into
Speaker 1: the bad ball data here, he is striking out a
Speaker 1: little bit more of this season, Um, not really walking
Speaker 1: as much. He might be pressing a little bit. Greg
Speaker 1: seems like he's trying to do the launch angle thing
Speaker 1: right now. To flyball rate for his career this year,
Speaker 1: he's up the forty seven percent, so it hasn't necessarily
Speaker 1: been working out for him. But his hard hit rate
Speaker 1: percent right in line with his career, pretty close to
Speaker 1: on par with what it was last year. I think
Speaker 1: he might just be trying a little bit too hard
Speaker 1: to hit home runs. Maybe it's because he plays in
Speaker 1: like a better hitters park now in great American small park.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just me speculating, but just overall
Speaker 1: looking at the battaball data, this is what it's telling me.
Speaker 1: But you know too, twelve Babbitt right now, he's three
Speaker 1: fourteen Babbitt for his career. There's a prime by low
Speaker 1: candidate that was that was just a prime by low candidate. Like,
Speaker 1: if someone in your league is freaking out about peak,
Speaker 1: I'd be sending offers, right would you trade away. Let's
Speaker 1: do this. Yeah, let's try and figure out who would
Speaker 1: we trade away to get assuming he was healthy? Would
Speaker 1: you trade away trade Man see peak? Yes? Would you
Speaker 1: trade away Byron Buxtone Peak? Yes? Okay, I would I
Speaker 1: thought that was a good one. Would you trade away
Speaker 1: finally got his first home run of the season. Would
Speaker 1: you in a way let's see here? Mmmmm, would you
Speaker 1: trade away Victor Roeblass mm hmmm mm hmmm mm hmm. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the speed? To me, is just upside for his speed?
Speaker 1: Is this too good? And we kind of went over
Speaker 1: the pace numbers, which I don't really love doing that overall,
Speaker 1: but he's I mean he's on pace for a Stoley
Speaker 1: Marte s gear And that's kind of what we said.
Speaker 1: What Victor Roeblasses outsiside is and I mean looks like
Speaker 1: he might he might hit his upside here in his
Speaker 1: first full season with the Washington Nationals, and they moved
Speaker 1: him up in the lineup as well. Um that that
Speaker 1: This is just a matter of I really like both guys. Greg.
Speaker 1: It's I'm buying in on Victor Robis. I think he's
Speaker 1: a good player and just to speed upside is it's
Speaker 1: too good to trade away. What outfielder he you wouldn't
Speaker 1: trade away for week is Christian Yellots? Who do you have?
Speaker 1: The note left yesterday's game with a back injury. The
Speaker 1: manager for the Brush crac Cantle, said he will not
Speaker 1: return to the lineup tonight for the Brewers game, and
Speaker 1: he's got that back tightness. His back grabbed at him.
Speaker 1: For those that have to set weekly line ups, you
Speaker 1: already know that Christian Yellow is not playing tonight. Dude,
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't won't know if he goes back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the deal is. What do you do? Frank? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is a really really tough one too, because it's
Speaker 1: a great week. Kind of reminds me of Anthony rendoins
Speaker 1: from from last week because the Washington Nationals were in
Speaker 1: Colorado and obviously you wanted that exposure. But the Brewers
Speaker 1: have seven games this week, Greg, and they're going up
Speaker 1: against Mets pitching, They're going up against Brewers pitching. UM.
Speaker 1: I'm just try and I would want to get as
Speaker 1: many Brewers in my lineup as I possibly can. Um.
Speaker 1: And this is obviously it depends who you're who your
Speaker 1: alternative is I would. I would probably leave him in
Speaker 1: unless I have someone really good on my bench, because
Speaker 1: they still have seven games and you know he could
Speaker 1: be out of line up one game. You just you
Speaker 1: just don't know. I mean, I haven't really seen anything
Speaker 1: regarding it any update. We just know he's not gonna
Speaker 1: play today. And it's a tricky call. Do you have
Speaker 1: any shares of yellow? Do I do not? I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I do not. What would you do? Would you play
Speaker 1: him seven game weeks? I could play him, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would play him lean that way as well. It is
Speaker 1: risky though, you're like, you never want to take a
Speaker 1: zero just has a little bit of that Anthony Brendon
Speaker 1: written on it from last week and then Rerendon didn't
Speaker 1: even play a single game. He played one and not
Speaker 1: not course shield. But he played one game last week
Speaker 1: before going back and sitting out again with that elbow injury. Um,
Speaker 1: I think you take the shot at seven games. It's
Speaker 1: it's back, It's not like a hamstring or anything like that.
Speaker 1: You hope he kind of just get some muscle relaxers
Speaker 1: and a nice rubdown and he's all right. But we'll see.
Speaker 1: The Mets came away with a victory at home against
Speaker 1: the Brew Crew and Flories was texting on Saturday, we're
Speaker 1: tweeting about it. I don't like you know what confused?
Speaker 1: Uh if if these guys tweeting your text me, Um,
Speaker 1: and I was Steven Matts, who I think his name?
Speaker 1: We gonna bring up Frankie because yesterday it gets the bruise.
Speaker 1: Obviously a good line up. Seven innings, two runs, five hands,
Speaker 1: only struck out four, but he didn't walk anybody. And
Speaker 1: Matt's on the season has allowed two runs or less
Speaker 1: in every single start except the one in Philly where
Speaker 1: he didn't get anybody out. Kind of interesting. No, he
Speaker 1: has performed well. I can't dispute um the actual numbers
Speaker 1: that he's putting up right now. And if you've had
Speaker 1: him in your line up for those I mean outside
Speaker 1: of that Philly Star where he you know, didn't didn't
Speaker 1: even record it out. Um, you've been great. He's been great,
Speaker 1: but overall great the underlying numbers, you know, the eight
Speaker 1: point eight percent swinging strike rate, not getting opposing batters
Speaker 1: to chase all that much. Um, and he's got three
Speaker 1: six eight e r A. He's got a four point
Speaker 1: zero to x fit it just doesn't really excite me
Speaker 1: all that much. Look in a deeper league, that's fine,
Speaker 1: you'll you'll play him with the right matchups. Um, is
Speaker 1: he a lock for my lineup every single week in
Speaker 1: a twelve team league? I wouldn't. I wouldn't say that.
Speaker 1: I think you know, he's one of the back end guys.
Speaker 1: He's an SP five, s P six wearing the right
Speaker 1: match up. You do get him in the lineup in
Speaker 1: in your in your two star weeks, you get him
Speaker 1: in the lineup. But is he a lock for the
Speaker 1: lineup every single week? You're gonna keep this up at
Speaker 1: three six eight e r A. I you know, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't trust it all that much. Greg, Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I probably expect him to get closer to that exit.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's like slightly below a four year a right
Speaker 1: around it, but stream him in the right matchups. But
Speaker 1: overall only he has the most upside, Greg. Peter Lonso
Speaker 1: had his first triple of his career yesterday, sending their
Speaker 1: milestone for him. Mikey Mustakis, he did his seventh run
Speaker 1: of the year up to two seventy four. Now is
Speaker 1: that average four? Mikey Mustakas with the o b P
Speaker 1: sitting at three sixty five. Hey, if you were worried
Speaker 1: about the fractured fingertip at all, Since he's returned three games,
Speaker 1: he has multi hits here, came in all three of those,
Speaker 1: and he hit a home run yesterday. He has five
Speaker 1: rb i's over the last three games to even stole
Speaker 1: a base. Say, Mike Mustakis is doing a right Greig,
Speaker 1: not worried about that fingertip. The w Where do? Where
Speaker 1: did I want to go next? Excuse me? Um? I
Speaker 1: wanted to hit Philly here because Philly defeated Miami five
Speaker 1: to one, and it was Zach Eflyn versus Pablo Lopez.
Speaker 1: And as I said, I didn't drop Eflyn because I
Speaker 1: had that matchup with the Marlins coming. That's great, complete game,
Speaker 1: seven hits, one wrong, that's awesome. Didn't want anybody. The
Speaker 1: problem was against the Marlins, frank for me, just three strikeouts.
Speaker 1: I where I owned Eflyn. I'm trying to sell him
Speaker 1: right now like today, and I think that you need
Speaker 1: to do that because I don't think it gets better
Speaker 1: than obviously doesn't get better than this. But I'd be
Speaker 1: very very nervous about zak Ethlyn. You want to talk
Speaker 1: about us. Uh sell high, Gregg. I just looked up
Speaker 1: some Yahoo trades. Let's see what's going on in Yahoo.
Speaker 1: Somebody Zack Ethlyn, Chris Sale. What are we doing? What
Speaker 1: are we doing out here? Greg? It's fun though, Gosh, dude,
Speaker 1: someone trated Zack Ethlyn and Frankie Montas for Elvis Andrews.
Speaker 1: That's fine. Someone for did e Flyn for por Cello.
Speaker 1: I probably shoot a little bit higher than that. I mean, look, realistically,
Speaker 1: I don't know that you're gonna get much for zach Eflin,
Speaker 1: but I do agree. Only three strikeouts in a complete
Speaker 1: game here against the Miami Marlins for zach Eflyn. I'm
Speaker 1: still just getting this kind of jaggy feel about him,
Speaker 1: like just another guy. I know. Florio was very excited yesterday.
Speaker 1: He's texting us complete game for for zach Eflin. Huh
Speaker 1: take that. I said, Mike, you could pitch a complete
Speaker 1: game against the Marlins right now, man. I mean he's
Speaker 1: not a good lineup. That's some guy named Bertie leading
Speaker 1: off of them. John Birdie. I do want to note,
Speaker 1: just for mooting me, just let's come across Twitter and
Speaker 1: I will leave Meryll Kelly at the two start week
Speaker 1: this week for Arizona. No, he didn't. He pitches on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: but they only play five games to Star Week. That
Speaker 1: got swapped. Now Zach Grinky will start tomorrow with Merrill
Speaker 1: Kelly starting on Wednesday. Okay, So I mean doesn't really
Speaker 1: change the opponent. He's still facing the Yankees regardless. That
Speaker 1: should set up Zach Grinky very two Star week next week. Then, yes,
Speaker 1: that is true. Did so you referenced that you fell
Speaker 1: asleep earlier, earlier than we started putting in our fab
Speaker 1: bids and we dropped Zack Efflyn for Pablo Lopez sixty
Speaker 1: bid out of a thousand? Would you have okayed that move?
Speaker 1: I still like I would have. It was no trade league, right, oh, man?
Speaker 1: Like I I don't know that. I don't know how
Speaker 1: hard I would have pushed back because I know the
Speaker 1: underlying numbers. Say, I get it. I think I would
Speaker 1: have pushed back there though, from Zach Eflin. And we
Speaker 1: didn't drop Alex Wood, correct, Larious, Well, we were trying
Speaker 1: to drop Zach. We were trying to drop Alex Wood
Speaker 1: for a middle infielder because you know, we had we
Speaker 1: drop the guy we got. We shot the guy to
Speaker 1: complete the picture complete game yesterday was one run for
Speaker 1: the guy that he loved that he I think, like,
Speaker 1: we just don't have anyone to drop in this league. Greg,
Speaker 1: that's the problem. I don't like that. I don't like
Speaker 1: that decision. You don't like that decision. Now. I saw
Speaker 1: that this morning when I was going through the tax
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't like this decision. Pablo Lopez
Speaker 1: went five and two thirds, four runs, three walks, four strikeouts.
Speaker 1: You wasn't good. He wasn't good. The underlying numbers for
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopez. You know, if you play in an X
Speaker 1: fifth league, like you like where John Gray would be
Speaker 1: a first round pick, right, you'd be great in pablope
Speaker 1: Is over. I mean the stru I got for Anny,
Speaker 1: I mean the biggest, the biggest problem groundball rate. I
Speaker 1: just think the underlying numbers for Pablo Lopez, like he's
Speaker 1: gonna come around. The biggest problem with Pablo Lopez is
Speaker 1: that he doesn't get to face his own team. Sure,
Speaker 1: we make jokes about it all the time, but that's
Speaker 1: the biggest deal when it becomes Pablo Lopez over to Colorado,
Speaker 1: where we talked a lot about Garrett Hampson on the show,
Speaker 1: especially with Adventure. We're not gonna do that anymore because
Speaker 1: he doesn't play anymore. He played dropped to my main
Speaker 1: event league. Hampson played yesterday for the first time since
Speaker 1: McMahon and Murphy and dal all came we're all back together.
Speaker 1: Played for the first time. He would over four with
Speaker 1: a strike at about one ninety one seventy three. Excused
Speaker 1: me even in my keeper league, I I dropped him
Speaker 1: because I can't waste the roster spot right now and
Speaker 1: someone that just isn't playing. Garret Hampson's drop more on
Speaker 1: all lease, Yeah, I can't dispute that. You know, he's
Speaker 1: hitting one seventy three with as he goes over four
Speaker 1: yesterday with a strikeout. Hasn't been able to get anything going. Uh,
Speaker 1: some of those bats of ball skills that we've seen
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues, the high batting average, the speed,
Speaker 1: you know, you can't see first base right. So that's
Speaker 1: what we've always said about Billy Hamilton's. Um. Arret Hampson
Speaker 1: just really in a funci start the year. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's I think it's too early to write
Speaker 1: him off. Um, you know, i'd probably sent him back
Speaker 1: down to the minors. Let him play every single day,
Speaker 1: build some confidence up, and you know, maybe they'll call
Speaker 1: him back up if an injury strike or something like that.
Speaker 1: But overall, I do agree with you. You You probably drop
Speaker 1: him in all like normal re draft leagues and probably
Speaker 1: even some shallower keeper leagues that that you were talking
Speaker 1: about in Dynasty. I'm not gonna give up yet just
Speaker 1: because he's He just played for the Rockies, so not not.
Speaker 1: I want to do it there, Daniel Murphy. How about
Speaker 1: Daniel Murphy though coming around a little bit to pass. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: it's where I was going next. Dannie Murphy and one
Speaker 1: for five yesterday, but the one really counted as it
Speaker 1: was the second home run of the season. Ian Desmond
Speaker 1: also homer for the second time this season, while Charlie
Speaker 1: Blackman had his second steel of the season. Is black
Speaker 1: Man started to come around as well? You know what
Speaker 1: I really like to see regarding Daniel Murphy has at
Speaker 1: least one hit in every game since he's been back.
Speaker 1: He hits back to back home runs on back to
Speaker 1: back days. And it's all in Atlanta. He's not even
Speaker 1: in course field yet and he's getting it done in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: So better days are coming. You know what I was
Speaker 1: noticing over the weekend. I guess I knew this. David
Speaker 1: Dollar strikes out a down, Yes he does. He strikes
Speaker 1: out over five with streak keys yesterday to following going
Speaker 1: over for with two ks two days before that. He
Speaker 1: strikes out a lot. Yeah, he really does. On the season,
Speaker 1: he's got a thirty two percent strikeout Ray Greig still
Speaker 1: hitting three, does have two caught stealings. Kind of, It's
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a mixed bag here for
Speaker 1: David dal to start the year. The hard hit rate
Speaker 1: still really good at line drive, right, so when he
Speaker 1: makes contact that's why he's hitting three thirty eight because
Speaker 1: he you know, he makes some makes some pretty damn
Speaker 1: good contact. But I'm gonna be able to maintain bad
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Greg. So David DALs All high, No,
Speaker 1: because they still haven't played that many games of corps field. Like,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be games where he could saint a really
Speaker 1: high badman and he can kind of cancel out these strikeouts.
Speaker 1: He's been around a strikeout rate all of his other
Speaker 1: all the rest of his major league career, in his
Speaker 1: in his first two years as well. So No, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not selling high. I'm alright, I'm I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stick it out with David dal And I don't
Speaker 1: really think he's a bylow right now either. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think any wants to give up on a
Speaker 1: guy who's seen three eight So just hold, are you
Speaker 1: prepared at this point? Taken l and Josh Donaldson. Uh,
Speaker 1: he has come around the past couple of weeks, he's
Speaker 1: been really good. I looked the first couple of weeks
Speaker 1: he was terrible, and I felt great. You know, I
Speaker 1: was about to about to start doing my victory laugh,
Speaker 1: start running around a table here, Greg, But not so fast,
Speaker 1: my friends. Over the past two weeks. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's got three home runs over over the past
Speaker 1: fourteen days, getting too sixty two. Yeah, he's starting to
Speaker 1: come around. Overall, he's got five Ribby's got five home runs,
Speaker 1: thirteen Ribbies. He's in a great spot, like batting second
Speaker 1: for this Braves lineup right between Odzi Albi's, right ahead
Speaker 1: of Freddy Freeman, right ahead of Ronald Leacuna. It's a
Speaker 1: good spot to be in. Can he stay healthy and
Speaker 1: keep this up? That remains to be seen Greg. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've seen the past couple of years, dealing with a calf,
Speaker 1: dealing with a shoulder. We've talked a lot about trades
Speaker 1: here today, selling hi, buying low. You try and trade
Speaker 1: Joshohnson while he's healthy, kind of ride it out. I
Speaker 1: think this is the player that you kind of expected
Speaker 1: when you drafted Josh Donaldson. Like what you're getting over
Speaker 1: the two weeks, he's kind of providing that unless like
Speaker 1: the person that I would tell to trade Josh Donaldson
Speaker 1: is someone who felt similarly to me, like maybe he
Speaker 1: just kind of fell into your lap. He was the
Speaker 1: best third basement available. He was the last one of
Speaker 1: like that starting tear that you that you felt it about,
Speaker 1: and you just drafted him and you're like, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't really like it, but I'll try and trade
Speaker 1: him anyway. That's that's probably the owner that wants to
Speaker 1: trade away Josh Jhalson right now. And I would probably
Speaker 1: I would be all right with that. I mean, great,
Speaker 1: I still worry about injuries at some point for him.
Speaker 1: He's that what a lot of stuff the past couple
Speaker 1: of years. He's one year older. He's performing very well
Speaker 1: right now and I'll say, look, if he continues up
Speaker 1: playing like this, then I'll have no choice. But it's
Speaker 1: take an ell on Josh Jalson. But there's still some chance. Again,
Speaker 1: April hasn't ended. It felt like it's, you know, been
Speaker 1: the longest month of all time. It does. It does
Speaker 1: feel like it's a really long month. It's also gonna
Speaker 1: be a really long season and Josh Jhnalson stay healthy
Speaker 1: for it. For the Angels, we speculated a lot last week.
Speaker 1: You have Ty Butchery and what that means you're replacing
Speaker 1: Cody Allen. Well, yesterday's Matt Harvey went seven innings of
Speaker 1: two hit ball. Look at the dark night. It was
Speaker 1: Butchery that wasn't hell for the ninth another run coming
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning for what should have been a
Speaker 1: save opportunity, Well that was Hansel Robles, who also allowed
Speaker 1: to run. What do you make of the Angels bullpen
Speaker 1: right now? This doesn't surprise me. If Buttery was the
Speaker 1: Eighthenny man and and Hansel Robost was the ninth inning guy,
Speaker 1: and or if they want to if they want to
Speaker 1: play matchups, yep, ancel Robost that guy pointing up to
Speaker 1: the to the home run. That's currently leaving the park.
Speaker 1: But um, it wouldn't surprise me if this is what
Speaker 1: they do. I mean, it is kind of what we speculated.
Speaker 1: We think that Ty Butchery has the best stuff, but
Speaker 1: Hansel Robos has a little bit more experience, He has
Speaker 1: more major league experience. Is he better equipped to be
Speaker 1: a closer? I don't think so, because he walks, typically
Speaker 1: walks more batters and uh than Ty Butchery, and typically
Speaker 1: gives up more home runs. And that's just not a
Speaker 1: recipe you want from your closer. But overall, right now,
Speaker 1: it seems like Butchery is the eighth inning guy and
Speaker 1: Hansel Robliss is the ninth inning guy. It's worth mentioning
Speaker 1: that when Buttery came in, it was a Ford to
Speaker 1: one game, so it was it was the same opportunity,
Speaker 1: and then he gave up a run, and then they
Speaker 1: scored three runs in a ninth, so it wasn't the
Speaker 1: same opportunity anymore at that point. But doesn't by the way,
Speaker 1: and Robiskinson in the night getting the ELM the second
Speaker 1: game in the second time this week. Over Bailey, don't
Speaker 1: don't trust Ower, Bailey, don't do it. I've got nothing.
Speaker 1: You didn't walk anyone, well leave, that's this. Maid Sailors

Speaker 1: very experienced. How are you going to react? Sweet days?
Speaker 1: Not Amy staring on FV and t s Y Radio
Speaker 1: and on your popular podcast providers tucking trade as vacuffs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a fair trade, for sure. I have to
Speaker 1: figure out late how I'm saying my lads us here
Speaker 1: Yang offered Greg, Are you seeker for Robinson Cano? Interesting trade? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I probably take Corey set even though I like I
Speaker 1: like Robinson, I do too, he's dated. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you get the youth on your side, you get
Speaker 1: the I mean, they're both a good lineup. So he's
Speaker 1: day to day now. I think I want to do
Speaker 1: because I'm a Corey Seeger guy. So I think I
Speaker 1: was gonna do what I wanted to take a couple
Speaker 1: of days to think about it. I think I'm in.
Speaker 1: Why not. I gotta talk trades with Steve again once
Speaker 1: I once, I go back downstairs, producer, video editor. But Steve,
Speaker 1: by the way, did great video. I want to promote
Speaker 1: that on the Fantasy Sports Network Twitter account. He told
Speaker 1: the audience why you shouldn't hate Daniel Jones as much
Speaker 1: as you do like I did. The here's why he
Speaker 1: sucks and Stevens just like listen, thing's gonna be all right.
Speaker 1: Pump the brakes, pump the brakes. It's take a great video.
Speaker 1: We're gonna we'll retweeting again later. Um, but it was awesome. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: I need some pitching though, for anyone else was in
Speaker 1: the league to Constantine and big Timer sent me some trades.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of hitting, I need pitching, so
Speaker 1: I'm willing to trade guys. Speaking of Corey Seeger, his
Speaker 1: Dodgers won seven six yesterday at home against Pittsburgh. As
Speaker 1: rich Hill returned, going six innings, five hits, five runs,
Speaker 1: only one were earned, though striking at six. He didn't
Speaker 1: want anybody he did allow to home runs to the milkman. Sure,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what the rich Hill struthers was saying to Greg,
Speaker 1: Like even five runs but only one was earned the
Speaker 1: milkman deliver. I'm not am not mocking anybody. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not a rich Hill guy. I know you're not.
Speaker 1: But when he looked, when he's a quality grader, signed
Speaker 1: quantity is on the mound, he does person Sure, put
Speaker 1: I put him in your line up while he's healthy.
Speaker 1: The thing is, how long is he gonna stay healthy?
Speaker 1: He doesn't walk anyone here, he gives you a strike
Speaker 1: out for inning. Um, his whip was less than one.
Speaker 1: You know, you only gave up five hits and six
Speaker 1: innings pitched. I mean, this is what he was supposed
Speaker 1: to do against the Pirates, which ultimately like it looks
Speaker 1: all right because there's only one earner run, but he
Speaker 1: still gave up five runs. So he was hurt by
Speaker 1: an error at some point here or multiple errors, and
Speaker 1: he's he gives up two runs. He serves it up
Speaker 1: to the milk man, as you reference Greggy. But I
Speaker 1: think rich Hill, for the most part, is going to
Speaker 1: be really good when he is healthy, when he's on
Speaker 1: the mound, which right now seems like he is. Wholio
Speaker 1: your eyes comes in. I was watching some of that.
Speaker 1: It seems like he's kind of entrenched in the bullpen
Speaker 1: firmly for now until someone else gets hurt for the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: which sucks. But if you play in a keeper dynasty,
Speaker 1: legue obviously for sure. I mean you're just kind of
Speaker 1: holding around. You're keeping this guy new roster and hoping
Speaker 1: he gets another chance. Greg On the other cyber Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: Trevor Williams goes six and these a lout of five runs,
Speaker 1: all of which were earned the regression games. Six strikeouts,
Speaker 1: one walk. Not just similar line by the way, uh
Speaker 1: from rich Hill. Besides he earned run versus run part Yeah, look,
Speaker 1: we kind of said, you know, Trevor Williams for a
Speaker 1: while now has been defying the odds, defying the underlying numbers,
Speaker 1: the advanced metrics and Um, you know, look, he's not
Speaker 1: going to continue to pitch the way that he was,
Speaker 1: and he wasn't gonna pitch like a sub three e
Speaker 1: r A for the entire season just he doesn't miss
Speaker 1: enough bats to make that happen. So when when you're
Speaker 1: a pitcher who pitches to contact and you run into
Speaker 1: a line up like this, I mean, you're gonna be
Speaker 1: prone to, uh to a bad start. Overall, I still
Speaker 1: like Trevor Williams overall, I don't love him. I don't
Speaker 1: have any shares of him, but uh yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: like him at all coming into the year Greg, but
Speaker 1: he's kind of well, he's woken me up a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he's made me aware. He's put himself on
Speaker 1: the radar. And she gives you a strikeout for ending
Speaker 1: in this start, he gives you six endings, uh six strikeouts,
Speaker 1: and I actually think more strikeouts are coming for him
Speaker 1: based on his swinging strike ray being up this year.
Speaker 1: What did you what did you make out of Francisco
Speaker 1: Liriano being amazing this year? Has he been amazing? Has
Speaker 1: allowed to run? I mean, it's it's I'm just saying
Speaker 1: like it's the pirates right. I mean, if there's one
Speaker 1: team that can always figure out Francisco Liriano, it's them.
Speaker 1: I mean they were able to turn his career around
Speaker 1: and pitch tenantings, singing it as a reliever ten innings,
Speaker 1: fourteen strikeouts, run twelve K per nine right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's been amazing. Man um, would you pick him up
Speaker 1: in a league? Old? But he's not really like the
Speaker 1: set up guys, so he's not gonna get holds. This
Speaker 1: kind of comes into like put out fires and multiple No,
Speaker 1: not really really, he's lefty specialists. Now. I just don't
Speaker 1: really think he does anything like maybe if someone gets hurt,
Speaker 1: like they'll stretch him out and putting back in the rotation.
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's much there. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: his game log right now. At least it happened twice
Speaker 1: this year Greg where he even he pitched two endings.
Speaker 1: So they're using him in multiple ways. They're using him
Speaker 1: to get lefties out there, using him when they need
Speaker 1: a little bit of long relief and for multiple endings.
Speaker 1: But it's been good. I mean even in deeper leagues,
Speaker 1: maybe you own him in like an l only the
Speaker 1: shrikeouts and peripheral numbers like E, R A and whip.
Speaker 1: I never thought i'd say that about for instance, Sure,
Speaker 1: I mean in that format, but anything shollower than that.
Speaker 1: Why not doing anything here with Liriana? All right, Texas
Speaker 1: destroyed Seattle fourteen to one. Texas now over, would you
Speaker 1: look at that? The Rangers were lad by lance Lynn
Speaker 1: again as he went seven in five or five hits,
Speaker 1: one run, struck out nine nine Seattle Mariners. Eric Swanson
Speaker 1: gets desroyd in the second start of IT two start
Speaker 1: week four and ex eleven hits, nine runs, six of
Speaker 1: which were earned. Not, Greg, is it possible to just
Speaker 1: delete things from existence? Let me do that. I remember
Speaker 1: when we talked about Eric Swanson a couple of weeks ago. No,
Speaker 1: me neither. Alright, So outside of two starts, by the way,
Speaker 1: where lance Lynn got wrecked his first start and his
Speaker 1: start before this, he's very good this year. Swinging strike create,
Speaker 1: I mean, has been a massive He has two games
Speaker 1: of nine. He has two games of nine strikeouts swinging
Speaker 1: strice yesterday, Greg, that was second most behind Ronaldo Lopez.
Speaker 1: For for all of your he just throws a massive
Speaker 1: amount of fastballs. This has been what he's always done
Speaker 1: for lance Lynn. He just somehow makes it work. He
Speaker 1: throws a ton of fastballs. He had nine strikeouts yesterday.
Speaker 1: Only has to be owned just because he has a
Speaker 1: job eight fifteen team mix in the right matchup. But
Speaker 1: still looking at that E. R A. Greg five point
Speaker 1: four five. It is in a bad ballpark in Arlington, Texas. Man,
Speaker 1: maybe if you just want to stream stream them for
Speaker 1: for strikeouts, but I mean, you're gonna get some blow
Speaker 1: ups that really hurt your era in Whip. So it's
Speaker 1: hard for me to trust Lancelin Greg. Hard for me
Speaker 1: to trust Lancelin as well, obviously, But how about Logan Forsyth, right, Like,
Speaker 1: let's just like scroll down the entire Texas lineup obviously,
Speaker 1: everyone except Rudnet Odor is playing well. Great, great for me.
Speaker 1: But Chinsu Choo another three hits, he's seeing three thirty,
Speaker 1: Elvis Andrews another two hits, hitting three sixt five. No
Speaker 1: murmurs are even. He gets two hits, ter pens three hits,
Speaker 1: hitting three one, And he said, Tanna three hits, and
Speaker 1: then you get to Logan foresight. If you're two hits
Speaker 1: three ribbies, he's hitting two seventy. Any interest in Logan
Speaker 1: foresight deeper leagues. It seems like everything's working out right
Speaker 1: for you know, he's not. You skip to one, he
Speaker 1: ignored one. The line of the shields, Well, he's at
Speaker 1: the bottom of the line. What's going in order? He
Speaker 1: never got there. I wanted to ask you about Logan.
Speaker 1: Is that it? Well? What do you want to say?
Speaker 1: I want you to say he's terrible like I told
Speaker 1: you he was. Well, he still had that game with
Speaker 1: grand slams and using my lineup for that. Greg, you look,
Speaker 1: you know what you say he sucks? He kind of does.
Speaker 1: He's one two. We got seven stolen bases and tell
Speaker 1: him that what you want him for? Rodo, He's get
Speaker 1: seven steels. But as Rhoda World told me about Danny Santana,
Speaker 1: you have to get on base to use that seven. Greg,
Speaker 1: come on, it's very good. Don't poop poo my guy yet,
Speaker 1: won't um taking a shot on Logan? Forsythe I guess,
Speaker 1: you know, not like refreshing. Joey Gallo wasn't in the
Speaker 1: line up yesterday. So that's how they're able to get
Speaker 1: hut Her Pents in the lineup. Keep Danny Santana at
Speaker 1: first base, third is there gonna be enough plane time
Speaker 1: to go around for Udor, who had a huge whole
Speaker 1: run a huge game, I should say, on Saturday, where
Speaker 1: he scored three runs, including the three run bomb when
Speaker 1: one for six yesterday three more strikeouts. He has eight
Speaker 1: strikeouts in three games. Is returning from the d L
Speaker 1: Y's on the other side. Most hilarious stat I ready
Speaker 1: yesterday Dan Vogel box stealing. Dan Vogel trying to trying
Speaker 1: to sneak one there sep third base. He tried to
Speaker 1: steal I don't know. I don't know. Probably he's probably
Speaker 1: facing like there's probably a lefty on the mountain. He
Speaker 1: got like I'm wondering, like a running start. I'm wondering
Speaker 1: if it was like a pitch that he felt like
Speaker 1: got away from the catcher, or maybe it was like
Speaker 1: a hit and run it just didn't work. What is
Speaker 1: it possible that, like it was like a wild pitch
Speaker 1: or like that he just like darts for third and
Speaker 1: they throw him out. Is not that caught stealing? So
Speaker 1: I think that's probably what happened. Great start to read,
Speaker 1: given you I didn't see it. I thought that was
Speaker 1: pretty cool. When did it happened? Didn't happen yesterday it did.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the box score. Don't see it called stealing, Greg.
Speaker 1: I'm also coming at the box store. I do see one.
Speaker 1: What are you looking at the box score? Espn. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at MLB dot com? Very strange and no, I
Speaker 1: don't see any called steeling. What the what the heck
Speaker 1: is Gregg talking about? Are you looking at Saturday's box No? Right,
Speaker 1: thank am I looking at said it? No, I'm lands
Speaker 1: Limpitz yesterday. I'm looking at it. Yea, all right? Well
Speaker 1: the mix up of the box scorers here Greg, nothing
Speaker 1: Man neither. And I wasn't watching this game, so I can't.
Speaker 1: I cannot say I was watching this game. Wasn't really
Speaker 1: about pumped up for Lancelin versus? Yeah, I didn't. Due
Speaker 1: didn't do it for me. The the Covees and Arizona
Speaker 1: went to fifteen ys. As I said before, I go
Speaker 1: back to the starters of Luke Weaver did not make
Speaker 1: it through five where and he allowed three runs, five strikeouts.
Speaker 1: Who's the Katana didn't make it through six? So he
Speaker 1: just mate this down in your quality start um for
Speaker 1: the Cubs, cous went very very deep into their bullpen
Speaker 1: they pitched like ten guys yesterday, while for the d
Speaker 1: Backs they know pitched a bunch also, and Arizona comes
Speaker 1: away losers to the Cubs as a big double was
Speaker 1: hit in this one by Tyler Chatwood. Tyler Chatwood, I
Speaker 1: don't have any shares of tyles to Chatwood. Greg Luke
Speaker 1: Weaver was a guy that, UM, A lot of people
Speaker 1: have been kind of pumping up the past couple of starts.
Speaker 1: He's still average or a strike out for ending here
Speaker 1: he had five strikeouts and and four and two thirds
Speaker 1: for one third endings pitched. Uh, doomed a little bit
Speaker 1: by the home run ball here in this start gives
Speaker 1: up a home run to listening to traders, also gives
Speaker 1: up a home run to Chris Bryant. Um. What overall,
Speaker 1: I think you ustill like the strikeouts and the fact
Speaker 1: that he hasn't been walking guys. He's got a three
Speaker 1: seventy three e r A. That's Luke Weavers, so he's
Speaker 1: been solid. He's he's returned some pretty good value thus
Speaker 1: far about four or five starts, five six starts maybe
Speaker 1: into the season here. Uh. And on the other side,
Speaker 1: hose Agatana, I like that he didn't walk anyone to
Speaker 1: swinging strikes? Were it there? Yesterday? He only had two strikeouts. Um,
Speaker 1: he gives up the two home runs. It wasn't. It
Speaker 1: wasn't his strongest performance of roll. I st still do
Speaker 1: have a lot of faith in Jose Ana though outside
Speaker 1: of this start and one relief appearance that he made
Speaker 1: against the Milwaukee Brewers where he got absolutely destroyed, Town
Speaker 1: has been very good. I'm stick in the faith. Do
Speaker 1: you only share the Chris Bryan craig non zero? He
Speaker 1: has not been great. You didn't, I mean you didn't
Speaker 1: like him. I was more you on him than you were.
Speaker 1: He is hitting two nine right now, but with a
Speaker 1: seven seventy O. Isn't he yourdittional slow starter or now? Um,
Speaker 1: it's definitely Rizzo. I don't think. I don't know about
Speaker 1: the slow starts for Chris Bryan his career overall. Um,
Speaker 1: but it seems like it's been a little bit of
Speaker 1: a struggle here for him to start the year, especially
Speaker 1: in the power department. Like you know, he had some
Speaker 1: home run yesterday but only has three home runs, still
Speaker 1: has seven tea runs scored. So the fact that he
Speaker 1: plays in the Cubs lineup is gonna save him a
Speaker 1: little bit. And he got a twelve percent walk grade
Speaker 1: and ninetent it out right. So you know, from when
Speaker 1: he came into the league till now, he's really cut
Speaker 1: down the strikeouts massively, but as a career high crown
Speaker 1: ball rate right now. And I know when he heard
Speaker 1: his shoulder last year, that was a big topic of conversation,
Speaker 1: was that his launch angle was down and he couldn't
Speaker 1: really drive the ball. He couldn't lift the ball um
Speaker 1: and he was just basically hitting a bunch of balls
Speaker 1: into the into the ground. Um. So I wonder if
Speaker 1: there are some lasting effects here regarding Chris Bryant, he's
Speaker 1: been a slow starting. It wasn't a guy that I
Speaker 1: was in on, Greg, And you know this is part
Speaker 1: of this is part of the concerns that I've I've
Speaker 1: had with so far. I've been right about one guy
Speaker 1: at third base, not so right about Josh Johns. Right alright, Hey, Hey,
Speaker 1: it's a win for you. I love Matt Chapman say
Speaker 1: the number three overall ranker. Thanks, Greg, appreciate that. Speaking
Speaker 1: of that, let's promote Frank purchases for Patreon right now,
Speaker 1: O Patreon, because he's trying to help you. He's trying
Speaker 1: to help you win. It's twenty five dollars. He will
Speaker 1: set your latts for you. You You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 1: You just put your feet back. This is a guy
Speaker 1: his first ever NFBC main event. He's winning, he's in
Speaker 1: first place, his first ever main event, and he's in
Speaker 1: first place in his league. What else can you ask for?
Speaker 1: What else seriously can you ask for? And if you
Speaker 1: don't want to spend I get it. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of money to ask for. Um at this point, all good.
Speaker 1: You just want all of his updates, all the stuff
Speaker 1: that you're not getting on the show, or all the
Speaker 1: stuff that you can do in addition to the show.
Speaker 1: There's ten bucks a month. Ten bucks a month, you
Speaker 1: you spend that on one stupid drink in this city.
Speaker 1: So two drinks in your city, frank ten dollars, maybe
Speaker 1: three drinks in your city. Probably you get all the
Speaker 1: exclusive access to Frankie Staffle. Greg I remember when I
Speaker 1: went to Myrtle Beach during the day, I walked into
Speaker 1: a bar, got beers for two bucks. It's crazy, It's like,
Speaker 1: what is going on? That was awesome? That? Greg I
Speaker 1: just I just looked at the overall. Right, now for
Speaker 1: the main event place go on the way fifth place
Speaker 1: out of let's see what we got here seventy. Listen,
Speaker 1: you're player in first place and that's you know, with
Speaker 1: losing Aaron Judge, let's see hopefully we could keep it
Speaker 1: going here, Greg, I see a lot of team names
Speaker 1: at the top. Um. I think they're clever with the
Speaker 1: with the Bellinger puns saved by the Bellinger, very popular
Speaker 1: team name here for whom the bell injured tolls. The
Speaker 1: only one team has Cody Bellinger. It's you. It's not true,
Speaker 1: but it makes sense that a lot of the teams
Speaker 1: that are winning have Cody Baloner under you could that
Speaker 1: kind of looked into Cody Balinger, Like I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: sit here and say that. Like, I love Cody Balance.
Speaker 1: You seek the best player available in the third round,
Speaker 1: and I took him. You could seebly have Cody Balinger
Speaker 1: and Christian Elling on your team. That is a possibility. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's a yeah, that's a legitimate possibility. Um. I remember
Speaker 1: in the third round, the player I was targeting, the
Speaker 1: player I wanted most actually was Anthony Rendona. He went
Speaker 1: to picks before me. So these work. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: I kind of kind of looked into Cody Balinger here.
Speaker 1: It would have been nice to have Cody Balinger and
Speaker 1: my first round pick, who's Aaron Judge. Judge like I'm
Speaker 1: mad anytime soon. He's like, I'm back anytime soon. Man.
Speaker 1: It was just timing. Timing was so weird for the
Speaker 1: main event draft because it happened the date my main
Speaker 1: event was the day after Bryce Harper got hit with
Speaker 1: that pitch on his ankle. And to be honest, kind
Speaker 1: of like I did with everyone else who was hurt
Speaker 1: during the spring, Greg, I pivoted, and you know what
Speaker 1: you knew. I loved Bryce Harper and I had him
Speaker 1: ranked higher than Aaron Judge for all the off season,
Speaker 1: and then when I saw that happened, I was a
Speaker 1: little bit worried. It's like I didn't even really have
Speaker 1: any results. That does this guy's ankle broken? Is he
Speaker 1: gonna start the season? Is he gon gonna be all right?
Speaker 1: So if I had Bryce and Bellinger, that would have
Speaker 1: been als. This is me venting final game. I want
Speaker 1: to go over from yesterday and that is the Astros
Speaker 1: and the Indians last night to the night Baseball Carlos
Speaker 1: Krasco returned pitch really really well until the loud the
Speaker 1: Robins and Tinos three run bomb that set this game
Speaker 1: up for You've three for Houston, my man. Wade Miley
Speaker 1: just misses out in the quality story, goes five and
Speaker 1: two thirds, le six hits, one run walk to only
Speaker 1: struck out of three. But he's been pretty solid for
Speaker 1: you thus far, Roberto Oceon, I had the night off.
Speaker 1: It's pitching two nights, two innings. On Saturday, Ryan Preshley
Speaker 1: uh got his second save of the year. Yeah, wait, Miley,
Speaker 1: he's been quality, Greg, So I didn't mean that just
Speaker 1: because he missed out on a quality start just barely.
Speaker 1: But he's actually been a solid pitcher thus far, not
Speaker 1: getting a lot of strikeouts, only three strikeouts, two walks. UM,
Speaker 1: But you know, the run support is gonna be there
Speaker 1: for him when it comes to Houston, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: in this one. If he would have got the support
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier on, he would have been in
Speaker 1: line for the win here, Greg. But overall, you know,
Speaker 1: against an Indians lineup which um is starting to come
Speaker 1: around at least you know Jose Ramirez coming around a
Speaker 1: little bit has the multi hit game and Frankie Lindore
Speaker 1: has a multi home run game. Over the weekend, Miley
Speaker 1: performed well yesterday and Carrasco on the other side eight strikeouts.
Speaker 1: It seems like he just left him in there a
Speaker 1: little bit too long. He gets dinged up with that
Speaker 1: three run bomb, But overall, I think people are mildly
Speaker 1: excited step in the right direction getting the hatred. I
Speaker 1: want to thank that Mode Dico for joining us, and
Speaker 1: everybody downstairs for their help, and of course you for
Speaker 1: watching for frank Stafl I'm Gregg Susman will do it
Speaker 1: all gonnamorrow. We hope I couldn't catch the live show.
