<v Speaker 1>follow me on Twitter at spitting Speeds. We gotta pull

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>question up. Listen, we're gonna get into it with my

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>fantasy best friend forever, Mike Florio. Will little bit later on,

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>we are going to talk about some of the players

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>that I think are primed to be moved this summer

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>in Major League Baseball. We'll talk about, um, what some

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>teams are doing, who's buying, who's selling, and what the

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>implications maybe for real teams and for your fantasy team.

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>So the poll question is up right now, who do

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 1>you think we'll have the biggest impact on playoff contenders

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in Major League Baseball and of course on your fantasy

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>baseball teams. Is it bats? You know, is it. Is

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>it people like Machado who are on the block, Maybe

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Josh Donaldson, who's on the block. I actually think other

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Orioles may go as well. We'll get into that. Is

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 1>it generally a starting pitcher that's going to move the needles?

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Some of these teams, I believe the New York Yankees

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>among them, maybe need some starters to go on after

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>the Cleveland's, the Houstons of the world in the American League.

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Or is it bullpen guys like Kelvin Morrera are out there.

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Guys like Zach Britton I believe will be out there

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>if healthy. Could a team like the Angels want to

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>booster their chances by getting a bullpen arm Or is

0:02:59.960 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 1>it something else that I have not yet thought of.

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Hit me up on the pole. Let me know about that.

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna talk about football. We're gonna give you the

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>news and notes. I gotta update a couple of topics

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>that if you listen to Fantasy Freestyle and the spitting

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>statistician with status overbeat Cipher. You know, I gotta get into.

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, we'll be getting it into it with

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Florio about you know, major League Baseball, some trade pieces,

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, some of the news and notes going on

0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 1>over there. A couple of starters, frontline starters returning to

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>their clubs this week in l a and in San Francisco.

0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Will get that, And guys, I am very excited. You

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>know how we put the fun and functional sports radio right.

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>You know how we re critique the rapping athletes right.

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 1>You know also how I talked with my man Danny

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Otto about what's going on on popping off, what we

0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>bring it all together, putting the fun and functional sports radio.

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>A little bit later on, we got a big time

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 1>surprise for you now that it is the unofficial start

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>of summer. Boy, do we have a surprise. Everybody could

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>have a little bit of fun this summer. We'll show

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you just how later on on the Fantasy Freestyle. Hit

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>me up if you so desire, let's get it started

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>with some NFL stuff. And to be honest, guys, it's

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>tough because you hear me now every morning seven to

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>nine am on rohto Experts in the morning right here

0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and so it's hard

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>for me to remember what I've spoken to you guys

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>about already and what is news. So I have to

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>go back and see last Tuesday, and I'm remind dud

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>oh snap. Last Tuesday, right after I came on air,

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>the news of Hunter Henry and the Los Angeles Chargers dropped.

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Henry would torn a c L is going to

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>miss the two thousand and eighteen season. Many people had

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>him as a top five tight end this year, overtaking

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Gates role. Now that Gates has moved on, that's

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>not gonna happen, right So in the tight end scheme,

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I think there's plenty of other guys in that, you know,

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>like seven through twelve kind of tier that you can

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 1>go on and get. We'll give you my tight end

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>rankings another show, but there's ways to deal with that.

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you what I believe is gonna

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 1>happen for the Chargers. As you know you may have

0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of read the tea leaves. I'm I on the

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles Chargers this season. I think they can do

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>some work and I think they will continue to be

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>able to do work even with Hunter Henry out. And

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you I believe the beneficiary of this lock

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>it in right now, the ascending player because of this

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.919
<v Speaker 1>is going to be Mike Williams. Okay, Keenan Allen is

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.160
<v Speaker 1>locked in as a wide receiver one both of the

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Chargers and for your fantasy team. Okay, you got Tyrell

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Williams out there, But I think Mike Williams is the

0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>guy who stands to benefit in the red zone. Remember

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>he was a rookie that was you know, first round

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 1>pick last year coming out of Clemson. He and Deshaun

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Watson won the national championship for Clemson. In my opinion

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>over Alabama. This is a big body guy. He is

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 1>the one who can be a threat in the red zone.

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>He is the one that I think is going to

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>soak up some of the targets that would have gone

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to Hunter Henry. I think you can go ahead and

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>bump Mike Williams up in your wide receiver rankings and

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe you want to take him a little bit earlier.

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>On another thing I saw around the NFL, Adrian Peterson

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.479
<v Speaker 1>marketing himself trying to get out there. Was doing an

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:05.280
<v Speaker 1>interview with Josina Anderson late last week kind of basically

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>just wildly speculating about teams that he thinks he could

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>be a good fit for. He mentions Green Bay. He

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:15.640
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Houston. He mentions Carolina, but we then later find

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>out that there's one team that may actually have some

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.400
<v Speaker 1>interest in him, The Tampa Bay Bucks say there maybe

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 1>some mutual interest. I don't know that that's a good fit.

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you right now. I believe Adrian Peterson

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.719
<v Speaker 1>at this point of his career is crazy. He's someone

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>you and fantasy owners need to forget about. I hope

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:34.679
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't wind up in Tampa Bay because I would

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>like to see them, you know, play it out with

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the kid Ronald Jones, let him develop, play it out

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>with Peyton Barber, let him develop. Unfortunately, my man Pop

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Quiz joc Quiz Rogers is not a viable part. I

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 1>think it's the two of them and Chris Charles Sims

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>who needs to be there in Tampa Bay. I hope

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Adrian Peterson, you know, just takes his ball and goes home. Also,

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 1>lets you know this just happening today, Brandon Marshall decided

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 1>to sign with the Seattle Seahawks. Okay, we told you

0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.119
<v Speaker 1>about him taking a visit out there. I was talking

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>with my man Mike Florio before. I feel like this is,

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, him filling that red zone need him filling

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 1>that Jimmy Graham role that was there last year. You

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>think about their other wide receivers, right Doug Baldwin, Yeah,

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Doug Baldwin a great slot possession kind of guy. He

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>is not that ex big kind of mismatched target in

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the red zone. Brandon Marshall, the Machine formerly known as

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>the Machine, could do that Jimmy Graham. They're looking for

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that role. Remember Tyler Lockett is more of an in

0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>space over the top speed guy. Anyway, Amari Darbo. They

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>needed this kind of role to be played, and they'll

0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 1>get it from Brandon Marshall. I personally like the fit.

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>You have to then ask what about other wide receivers?

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Remember I told you about Jemmy Macklin out there as well.

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Eric Decker kind of out there. The question is what's

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>up with Dez Bryant. You know a lot of people

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>are saying they are now surprised and shocked that he

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:54.679
<v Speaker 1>is still available. While on social media last week, someone

0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>asked Dez on Instagram where do you want to play?

0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 1>And he responded with San Francisco party Niners. By the way,

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you heard. As soon as that happened,

0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>like a month or two ago, I was right away

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>saying I think he'd be good in San Francisco with

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy g Check the tape, check my Twitter timeline. But

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>now he's saying that as well. I think that's an

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>interesting fit. You know, that's a team on the upswing.

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 1>You have a solid QB, got Pierre Garson. There is

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the wide out one. But is he really a dominant

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>target share kind of guy. No, I think des could

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 1>fit there. Keep an eye on on Dez now that

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Marshall's off the bord, I expect Deaz to sign

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 1>somewhat quickly. You know, it's either he's gonna sign real

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>quick in the next week or so, or he's gonna

0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.160
<v Speaker 1>have to wait for an injury or something like that.

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>In O T A S And once we get into

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>training camps, um under reported story that I just want

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to talk about real quick here on the Fantasy Freestyle

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.719
<v Speaker 1>um Eli Manning. Y'all remember how Eli Manning had some

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>like paraphernalia fraud thing going on last year. Yeah, well,

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the trial starts, Okay, Eli Manning his fraud trial. Guess

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>what we talk about? All domestic violence? We talked about

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 1>performance enhancing drugs. Guess what, fraud also violate the Personal

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Conduct policy, So let's keep an eye out on this.

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I think ultimately it'll be fine. Eli maintains his innocence,

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the proceedings are ongoing, so I wanted

0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>to flag that. We'll talk about this a little bit

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:18.959
<v Speaker 1>later on when we put the fund and functional sports

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>radio as it comes to Levy on Bell and the millennials.

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>But Antonio Brown also put out this Instagram post of

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>him kneeling trying to maybe send the message on where

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.800
<v Speaker 1>he is on the anthem and the anthem kind of debate,

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>which I do want to update right now here. On

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 1>a fantasy freestyle last week, I talked about this, I

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>compared and you know what, it's not the anthem protest,

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and I want to make that very clear. Okay, We're

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 1>not no one's protesting the anthem. The national Anthem is

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the time and space being used by some NFL players

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to protest police brutality in their communities against people of color,

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 1>police intimidation. This is not an anthem protest. This is

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>a protest about police intimidation in neighborhoods with people of color.

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.040
<v Speaker 1>It is not an anthem. Protest. Okay, that's just the venue,

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the time in space, and last I checked when the

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:16.480
<v Speaker 1>First Amendment when you had the right to uh speech

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 1>and the right to uh peacefully assemble. No one said

0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>you had the right to peacefully assemble where and when

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:27.160
<v Speaker 1>the powers that be want you to peacefully assemble. Okay,

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>So we'll talk about that a little bit later on.

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>But that's kind of where the you know what I

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>want to get out. It's actually a protest about police

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 1>brutality and intimidation, not about the anthem. No one's protesting

0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>against the military or against the United States of America.

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>But I digress. You know, we have the anthem. Listen.

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.200
<v Speaker 1>In the last week, there has been some backlash. I

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>told you about the Jet CEO, you know, Charles Johnson

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>saying yep, he'll take on the fines or any team,

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 1>any any people on the Jets that want to kneel. Also,

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellington is now endorsing a boycott of

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.719
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. This is a congressman up in Minnesota. I

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>think that's interesting. We're starting to hear rumors that the

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>players may try to organize and in mass sit out

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.839
<v Speaker 1>or something like that I don't think that will ever happen.

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that will ever work, to be quite honest,

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>because you actually need players or something like that, and

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna get that, Okay, So I don't think unfortunately,

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's gonna happen. I do also want

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 1>to juxtaposed this against something else. I saw this weekend,

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 1>and I said this last week too. You know, I

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 1>was talking about what the NFL is doing in terms

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>of stifling this right to free speech around police intimidation

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and brutality and and you know, and and murder on

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>some level. But um, and we saw how in the NBA,

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, so the case of Sterling Brown, how the

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Milwaukee Box, how the NBA come out and support of

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 1>this against the police department. Right. But I want to

0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>juxtapose it against something else I saw because my man

0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Jake Celia Rooto Experts in the morning made this point.

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Other people have made this point that you know, it

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's they're protesting against the flag. I don't

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>think that's the case. I think that what happens, though,

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>is that the NFL has been in bed was patriotism

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>for way too long. You know, these glorious national anthems,

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the B fifty two bombers flying overhead, you know, the

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>hundred yard flags that you know, and the veterans that

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 1>are out there that are you know, the NFL pays

0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to run these veterans out there. But I digress. Here's

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 1>what I want to compare it to. Over the Memorial

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>Day weekend, I was watching a little piece of the

0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis five hundred. Shout out to my man, will Power, uh,

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.199
<v Speaker 1>which needs to be marketed even more. But I was

0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.520
<v Speaker 1>watching it because you know, it was kind of a

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>lazy day. It was a Sunday. The weather wasn't that

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>great out here where I was, you know, doing my

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 1>little Memorial Day holiday and you know, a little beach

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 1>house action was very nice. Um, but you know, Sunday

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>was a little bit of a overcast, kind of rainy day.

0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:47.160
<v Speaker 1>So me and a crew we were inside watching a

0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.319
<v Speaker 1>little bit of the Indianapolis five hundred. We're watching the

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 1>first forty five minutes and it was nothing but pageantry. Okay,

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 1>they're introducing the racers and then you know, there's national anthems,

0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 1>then there's God Bless America, and there was also a

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 1>straight up prayer. There was a priest out there like

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>blessing the Indianapolis five hundred. So not only do certain

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>leagues like the NFL wrapped themselves in patriotism, but this

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:18.199
<v Speaker 1>was just straight up religion inserted into the ind five hundred. Now,

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I know that Indy car is a much more red

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>state kind of thing, you know than say the NBA.

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:28.120
<v Speaker 1>But we're talking about the First Amendment here and like

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>the right to free speech and the right to peacefully assemble.

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 1>The second Amendment I do believe is you know, the

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>right to bear arms, like in these Bill of rights,

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>isn't there also freedom of religion? But no, in the

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Indianapolis five hundred, it was a Catholic affair because there

0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 1>was the priest blessing the event and God bless America

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.200
<v Speaker 1>going on. So I just add that to the puzzle, right,

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>how these leagues present themselves. Do they wrap themselves in

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:59.160
<v Speaker 1>nationalism or in religion? And what they do as that perception.

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>And I want to just make very very clear what

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.079
<v Speaker 1>is actually being protested against. The one's protest protesting against

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 1>the military. People are protesting against police violence in communities

0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:12.559
<v Speaker 1>of color. But I digress. I wanted to make that

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 1>comparison with the ind five and I also then wanted

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 1>to move to this. You know, we talked about how

0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the NFL deals with this issue on the anthem. We

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.520
<v Speaker 1>talked about how the NFL deals with Oh, now, gambling

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>is going to be potentially a state by state legalization issue.

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Let me say that again, a state by state legalization issue.

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>That's what sports gambling is becoming, right, And the NFL

0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>is going to have to deal with this, and they're

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of cool with that. Wherever the law goes, they're

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be with it. I got another state by state

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>legalization issue, and it's marijuana. Right. How is the NFL

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna deal with marijuana? Is it the same as they

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>will deal with sports gambling? I highly doubt it. Check

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:54.480
<v Speaker 1>this out. Mike James, who was on the Tampa Bay

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Bucks among other teams, had a petition into the NFL

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to use marijuana formally as a pain killer. He

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>said he wants to use it over opioids. And we've

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about this, how the opioids are addictive, how there

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>is a problem in our country, the benefits potentially of

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>marijuana as a pain reliever. Hashtag can athlete out there right,

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>he says, and I quote, I'm hopeful that I'll be

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>able to keep playing football. It's a game I love dearly.

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I know right now I'm doing something that makes people uncomfortable,

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm going against the establishment to push for

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:29.320
<v Speaker 1>a change in the way they look at this medicine, medicine.

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I know that there's a greater purpose here for a

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys in the league who I consider family members.

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>This is a guy who's on I R with concussion

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 1>symptoms for all two thousand and seven. And you know,

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Goodell is not moving on this. The NFL is not

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 1>moving on this. Meanwhile, you know many states are making

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 1>this legal the same way many states will have the

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 1>decision to make sports gambling legal. But the NFL still

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>responds very differently, the same way they're responding to the anthem,

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>the same way they're responding to pain medication or marijuana

0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 1>or opioids, in a very draconian, archaic way, where instead

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 1>of like the NBA getting ahead of gambling with the

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in play app, getting ahead of things like by supporting

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:10.960
<v Speaker 1>their players, they continue to view it in this way.

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And that to me is a big time problem. And

0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 1>now we have even another example. Baltimore Ravens former running

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:20.520
<v Speaker 1>back Jamal Lewis has a big piece out on bleacher

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Report right now talking about how he considered suicide many times,

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>how he saw his offensive line teammates dying from complications

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>of things like CTE and headaches and things he's dealing with,

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the headaches, the memory loss polyps in his lungs. For

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.840
<v Speaker 1>God's sakes, we need to treat this state's rights issue

0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:42.640
<v Speaker 1>the same way as the NFL treats the gambling states

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 1>rights issue. And unfortunately, the NFL is still dragging their

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 1>heels and behind the times on this issue. I'll leave

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>it at that, but you know, the vocal minority had

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>to say his piece. When we come back on the

0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Freestyle, what we're gonna do is, I'm gonna have

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.480

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.919
<v Speaker 1>which MLB players I expect to get traded and the

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>implication for fantasy Baseball teams. All that and more. Come

<v Speaker 1>seven and nine am every Monday through Friday. Roll So

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>doing a little bit of a Face of Baseball bracket

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.560
<v Speaker 1>right now. Uh. We got the sixteen players in there.

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:07.719
<v Speaker 1>You can check for that throughout the summer as well.

0:20:07.760 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to give you some news and notes though,

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 1>real quick. Since the first since the last time I

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>spoke to you, the Tampa Bay Rays are really trying

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 1>it all out right. They're going with this concept the

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 1>opener instead of the closer. They have Sergio Romo and others,

0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:23.160
<v Speaker 1>but mostly Sergio Romo throwing the first inning and then

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 1>going to like Ryan Yarborough for six, and that's really interesting.

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, in certain matchups it could work.

0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.120
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna completely mess up DFS lineups right in terms

0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 1>of the value there, but keep an eye out on that.

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.159
<v Speaker 1>And then Tampa Bay wasn't done. They go ahead and

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 1>trade their closure uh column a over to Seattle, right,

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 1>So there's a possible opportunity there. I'm gonna tell you

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:45.719
<v Speaker 1>the guy I like to get saves in Tampa Bay

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is Alvarado. I don't think it's chas Row. I don't

0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:49.840
<v Speaker 1>care if Johnny Venor's got his first save in a

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of years. It was a thirteen inning game, so

0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 1>you could throw that one out. I think it's Alvarado

0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that gets saves in Tampa Bay. But I do think

0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>this opener concept is pretty interesting. Let me know what

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys think about that and the stats over beat

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Cipher in the chat room. Also, I want to tell

0:21:04.280 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>you that Anthony Rizzo, you know, kind of had an issue.

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.120
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people think that he had a dirty slide,

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, in Pittsburgh this weekend. I don't think. Check

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the video, I don't think I think it was a

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.080
<v Speaker 1>good hard play. I don't think there was any malicious intent.

0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:18.639
<v Speaker 1>We had to pull question up this morning sent of

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.199
<v Speaker 1>you did think it was thirty dirty. I thought it

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 1>was just a good hard play. I know my man,

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Mike Florio kind of agrees. The last thing I want

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:28.040
<v Speaker 1>to mention is a couple of aces returning this week

0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:31.639
<v Speaker 1>on Fantasy Baseball Rosters. Clayton Kershaw will go for the Dodgers,

0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I believe on Thursday. Madison bum Gardner maybe all the

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.240
<v Speaker 1>way back for the San Francisco Baseball Giants as well.

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Either on Friday or sometime over the weekend, both of

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:45.000
<v Speaker 1>those guys will start to help fantasy baseball teams. All right,

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.040
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to talk with my guy, Mike Florio. He's

0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 1>my fantasy best friend forever. You can hear Fantasy best

0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Friends forever, I believe from two to three pm Monday

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>through Friday here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. They're

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 1>also doing a big thing on the stream. You can

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.760
<v Speaker 1>catch him on YouTube. You know their views. You know

0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.760
<v Speaker 1>they can almost catch up to a Fantasy freestyle if

0:22:05.760 --> 0:22:07.439
<v Speaker 1>they're if they're lucky, if they got good stuff on

0:22:07.440 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the show. But I bring in Mike Florio right now, Hey, Mike,

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:11.919
<v Speaker 1>are you with me down there in the fantasy pit

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:15.120
<v Speaker 1>of misery? Oh? Waits? First of all, did you see

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>that new Dilly Dilly commercial, the bud Light commercial. Um,

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.400
<v Speaker 1>they're doing a new Dilly Dilly commercial. They're talking about

0:22:20.400 --> 0:22:22.440
<v Speaker 1>like bud Light orange and bud Light Lime, and they're

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 1>like presenting gifts not to the king but to the queen.

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:27.320
<v Speaker 1>And then like the guy that's like the Dilly Dilly

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.360
<v Speaker 1>guy who's like stuck in the pit of misery, he's

0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 1>like out chilling on the beach. And so I'm like,

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, island kind of guard being like Dilly Dilly

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:35.879
<v Speaker 1>drinking a bud Light orange. I don't know if I

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>like that because I think, you know, when you think

0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>about the old school dungeons and the middieval times, they

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 1>weren't drinking bud Light orange. They weren't drinking flavored beer.

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a missed opportunity. What do you think, Florio?

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I have not yet seen it, but I mean going

0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 1>to be on the lookout, and when I do, I

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:52.879
<v Speaker 1>will definitely reach out. Definitely let me know. You can

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 1>hit me up on Twitter at spit and speeds. All Right,

0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:57.520
<v Speaker 1>we were talking about the trade targets and listen, this

0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 1>is now. You know, we've crossed the unofficial art of

0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.359
<v Speaker 1>summer with the Memorial Day holiday, and there are definitely

0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 1>some teams that are gonna start to become buyers or sellers. Okay,

0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and I have that poll questioned up on Twitter as well,

0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 1>Florio in terms of like will it be a bat

0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:14.920
<v Speaker 1>that moves the needle, starting pitcher or a bullpen guy.

0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll get your thought on the poll question a little

0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:20.119
<v Speaker 1>bit later on. But one team that has decided that

0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:23.440
<v Speaker 1>they are going to be uh sellers is the Kansas

0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 1>City Royals. It sounds like it sounds like they're open

0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 1>for business. And so we start in the bullpen. Okay,

0:23:27.640 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 1>because Kelvin Herrera, I think is a great option to

0:23:31.600 --> 0:23:35.000
<v Speaker 1>be moved. Okay, this is a guy with lights out stuff. Yeah,

0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:36.840
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get moved to a team where he may

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 1>not get saves. I'm sorry Herrera owners, including Mike Florio,

0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 1>but this could be we talked about this before, Mikey.

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a team like the Angels, maybe a team, you know,

0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:50.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe a team that's in it um in the National League,

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a team like Atlanta with Viscaino being up and down

0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:55.200
<v Speaker 1>a team like Philly the back end of that bullpen?

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you see Herrera as someone who can move? And

0:23:58.840 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 1>do you wear my he go? I think you know?

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I think Los Angeles, Philly, and Atlanta

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:08.159
<v Speaker 1>are potential contenders that can use the back of a bullpen.

0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:10.879
<v Speaker 1>What do you think? Yeah? I agree, I think he

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:13.200
<v Speaker 1>will be moved. I think Mustakis will be moved in

0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>the last thing you need on a team that's not

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.200
<v Speaker 1>winning is an aging closer. So I add percent think

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Carrera is traded. And I was actually going through the

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.480
<v Speaker 1>standings today and thinking about teams in contention that could

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 1>use a closer, and those three or the teams that

0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:27.680
<v Speaker 1>jumped out to me. All right, so let's think about

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 1>some other bullpen guys. Here's what I'm gonna say. I'm

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna throw out a couple of other names that I

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:34.480
<v Speaker 1>think could be Um on the move. Florio, you you

0:24:34.560 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 1>just give me literally like a percent chance that you

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 1>think they're moved, Okay, because I agree with you. Angels, Braves,

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Phillies might be teams that you know, the Yankees don't

0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:46.439
<v Speaker 1>need it, the Red Sox I don't really think need it,

0:24:46.680 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Astros don't Indians don't. The Brewers certainly don't the way

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 1>they're doing with Hater and Connable right now. Um Dodgers

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:55.960
<v Speaker 1>have Jansen, you know, and the like. So what about

0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:57.880
<v Speaker 1>you talk about Horrera? You think he's gonna get moved?

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:01.359
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about Padres closes? Brad Hand another

0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>team not in contention to to your logic, Florio, a

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:07.400
<v Speaker 1>team that's not in contention, why would they ever need

0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>a reliever? What about a guy like brad Hand? Do

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you think he's on the move present chance? I'm gonna

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.399
<v Speaker 1>give him a pretty low percent, only because they signed

0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 1>him to that extension before the year, And I think

0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 1>in there, I'm not saying I agree with it, but

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I think in their plan they probably think they're closer

0:25:24.160 --> 0:25:26.159
<v Speaker 1>to competing than they actually are. Okay, what about in

0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore a couple of guys we were talking about before,

0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:31.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, Zach Britton is pitching and simulated games, maybe

0:25:31.480 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 1>a rehab start outing or two. He should be back

0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:36.480
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of weeks for the Baltimore Orioles. The

0:25:36.520 --> 0:25:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Orioles ain't going anywhere. They got the Red Sox and

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:42.280
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees in that division. I think Zach Britton and

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:44.920
<v Speaker 1>brad Brock could be on the move. What do you

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>think present chance of those guys? I will say brad Brock,

0:25:49.560 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I think so. And Britain I'm gonna say a little

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:54.560
<v Speaker 1>bit lower, like ninety, A little bit lower. You think

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 1>both of them are gone? I think the Orioles are

0:25:56.680 --> 0:26:00.320
<v Speaker 1>cleaning house. The only reason I don't have Britain at

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a hundred is because if he gets injured again, like

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>if he suffers a setback or something like that, no

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 1>one's gonna trade from sure. But assuming that his rehab

0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:10.440
<v Speaker 1>goes well and he is actually pitching for the Orioles

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:12.680
<v Speaker 1>in late June, yeah, I think you'll get moved. I

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:14.640
<v Speaker 1>think they're cleaning house and they're gonna get rid of everyone,

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 1>all right, fair enough. So Florio is on record thinking

0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:19.960
<v Speaker 1>that the Orioles will in fact flip whatever they possibly can.

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Here's one other name I have for you, Florio, because

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:23.719
<v Speaker 1>I like the way you look at it. I look

0:26:23.760 --> 0:26:26.119
<v Speaker 1>at teams that are not contending, that have you know,

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:28.320
<v Speaker 1>guys with good stuff who can play these roles on

0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:30.919
<v Speaker 1>another team. If we look to the Chicago White Sox,

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:34.600
<v Speaker 1>what about Nate Jones? Florio, Yeah, I think he is

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:36.880
<v Speaker 1>a great candidate to be traded. I probably put him

0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:40.720
<v Speaker 1>north of like's like this absolutely. So let me ask

0:26:40.720 --> 0:26:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you this, and you were talking about this as it

0:26:42.320 --> 0:26:47.080
<v Speaker 1>related to uh, you know, some Herrera being a Horrera owner, right, Like,

0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 1>do you start to get ahead of this if you

0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:50.880
<v Speaker 1>have a guy like Britain, if you have a guy

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:52.919
<v Speaker 1>like Harrera, if you have a guy like Jones or Hand,

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:56.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a possibility that this guy gets traded from a

0:26:56.920 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>ninth inning role where he's getting you saves to a

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 1>even to a thanning role where he's getting you holds

0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and you gotta worry about his ratios. Would you ever

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 1>advise listeners and fans of BFF for the Freestyle to

0:27:08.800 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 1>maybe get ahead of this and suss out the trade

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 1>market and maybe try to flip him ahead of when

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 1>he's getting traded, because these guys, if a contending teams

0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 1>dealing for him, unless it's maybe like the Angels, they're

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:21.120
<v Speaker 1>dealing them to be the seventh raith guy in behind

0:27:21.480 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>their established closer as opposed to become their closer per se,

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:27.760
<v Speaker 1>even in Atlanta, I think it would be to become

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:30.399
<v Speaker 1>a guy behind this GUYNO. Let's say so would you

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.000
<v Speaker 1>ever try to get ahead of this and move one

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:36.720
<v Speaker 1>of these guys? Now? Yeah, I think it's good advice. Unfortunately,

0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I own Horrera and most of my draft in hole weeks,

0:27:39.080 --> 0:27:41.440
<v Speaker 1>but I do think it's well, you can still get holds,

0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:43.240
<v Speaker 1>you can still get holds out of him. Maybe. I

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 1>do also think it's good advice if you if you

0:27:46.320 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 1>feel strongly about all right, if Kelvin Horrera gets traded,

0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:51.120
<v Speaker 1>this is the guy I think that's going to replace him,

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to start spec ad right now? Yeah? Why not? Like

0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>it'd be hard in Baltimore because I could see them

0:27:56.600 --> 0:27:59.359
<v Speaker 1>training everybody, trading everyone. It's it's hard with the White

0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Sox to pay up a replacement because I certainly don't

0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:05.119
<v Speaker 1>want Yoachim Saria. They don't seem to trust anyone. You

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:07.480
<v Speaker 1>blow a save, you're gone for Chris so But a

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 1>team like the Royals, a team like the brand Han

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:12.119
<v Speaker 1>rumors start to come up, Start to see who that

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 1>guy is. Speculative ad on that, because then you know it.

0:28:15.920 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you wait until the closer is traded,

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be using plus on your of your fab

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:24.240
<v Speaker 1>on the next guys, the next guy up. All right,

0:28:24.320 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 1>fair enough um, let's talk about starters real quick here, Florio.

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:29.480
<v Speaker 1>You know everyone is talking about Chris Archer. I don't

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:31.439
<v Speaker 1>know if teams have enough to get Chris Archer, right.

0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna take the farm to get Chris Archer, so

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 1>let's put him aside. I got a couple of starters

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 1>that I think could be on the move. I'm a

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Yankees fan, as you know, Florio, what I'm looking for.

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for a guy that can start game two

0:28:43.640 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of a playoff series. I'm looking for a guy who

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.600
<v Speaker 1>I can slot in right behind Severino but in front

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 1>of Tanaka to match up with this Houston Astros rotation

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and their spin rate, to match up with the Cleveland

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Indians rotation, you know where they're gonna probably go. What

0:28:57.040 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 1>uh Cluber, Carrasco, Bauer clever injured as the four. We

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:04.480
<v Speaker 1>need something to match up with that. I don't think

0:29:04.600 --> 0:29:06.959
<v Speaker 1>Archer is gonna get moved because a lot of you know,

0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I would love it if the Yankees did. I don'tink

0:29:09.000 --> 0:29:10.360
<v Speaker 1>they're going to trade him in the division. I got

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:12.840
<v Speaker 1>a couple of names of other starters out there, and

0:29:12.880 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I want to get your take, which one you would

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.520
<v Speaker 1>uh most want if you're a guy like me and

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a Yankee fan, one is Cole Hamill's who's even talking

0:29:20.960 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 1>about He's trying to get himself talk his way out

0:29:23.000 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of Texas, right, veteran guy Lefty built for maybe Yankee Stadium. Interesting,

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 1>although his velocity is down, his k rates down. But

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I digress. There's Hamils. What about a guy like Francisco

0:29:33.840 --> 0:29:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Liriano off to a good start, the Tigers not gonna contend.

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:40.560
<v Speaker 1>What about a guy like j A Hack the opening

0:29:40.600 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 1>day starter for the Toronto Blue Jays, but as the

0:29:42.680 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>blue Jays fall out of it, I think he could

0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>be an option the other guy I want to say,

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.200
<v Speaker 1>because I know you like pitching out there in Arizona.

0:29:48.400 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 1>What about Patrick Corbin as well? There's also if San

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Diego wants to move a guy like Tyson Ross to

0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:58.120
<v Speaker 1>any of these guys move the needle for you, Floria. Yeah.

0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:00.800
<v Speaker 1>If I'm a Yankee fan, I want nothing to with Lorihanna.

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:03.680
<v Speaker 1>We just know how it ran. I want no part

0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:05.920
<v Speaker 1>of Cole Hamil's either. I know he's pitching well right now,

0:30:05.960 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>but like you said, there's a lot of red flags

0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 1>to show that. I don't want a thirty four year

0:30:09.440 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>old or whatever it is, and I get what he

0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 1>wants out, but I didn't even want him as a

0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Yankee fan. Uh the other three, Corbin Ross, Hap, I

0:30:17.640 --> 0:30:21.640
<v Speaker 1>would take any of those three. I would rank him Corbin, Hat, Ross,

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:24.600
<v Speaker 1>but none of them. None of them are ahead of

0:30:24.600 --> 0:30:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Tanaka in a playoff rotation, and I'd still as a

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Yankee fan, I'll run out sec ahead of those guys.

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:32.000
<v Speaker 1>In a game three setting. I would rather Corby than

0:30:32.360 --> 0:30:36.600
<v Speaker 1>probably Tanaka and CEC. But yeah, I agree, Tanaka slides

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 1>like Ross, and hat would slide in behind Tanaka probably

0:30:39.320 --> 0:30:41.880
<v Speaker 1>be this team's three another name. I don't know if

0:30:41.880 --> 0:30:44.680
<v Speaker 1>this interests you at all, but it seems like the

0:30:44.720 --> 0:30:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Yankees have always been like interested. He heard rumors what

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:50.280
<v Speaker 1>about Michael Falmer. I would love Farmer. He would be

0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:53.479
<v Speaker 1>my prize over Archer, even you know, because I think

0:30:53.480 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 1>it would take slightly less to get him. I would

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:57.680
<v Speaker 1>love Falmer. I just don't think it's gonna happen. I

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:00.080
<v Speaker 1>would absolutely love Falmer. He would in fact be a

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 1>target for me unless, you know, unless the Mariners want

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:05.360
<v Speaker 1>to talk James Paxton, unless the Giants want to talk

0:31:05.440 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Madison Bumgardner, something like that. What about your boy the

0:31:08.240 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Dark Night, Floria, you think he's gonna be on the

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:13.840
<v Speaker 1>move Seattle. I'm sorry Cincinnati did say they wanted him,

0:31:13.960 --> 0:31:15.760
<v Speaker 1>because they don't they have a better chance getting a

0:31:15.800 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 1>prospect for him. Then for Mezzo Rocco, I think they're

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:21.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna shop him. I don't know if they're gonna get

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:24.640
<v Speaker 1>much out of him, but hey, I mean before this

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 1>last start he was pitching pretty well for the Reds.

0:31:27.200 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's for real, but seeing his velocity

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 1>back up hit ninety seven as a Met fan, it

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 1>feels unfair. So listen, and then when we go to

0:31:33.800 --> 0:31:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the bats, Florio real quick here on the fantasy Freestyle,

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:38.800
<v Speaker 1>my best friend forever, Mikey Florio. The two bats that

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 1>we all hear about Manny Machado, whether he goes to

0:31:41.720 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the Cubs, you know, in a package for Russell and Schwarber,

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:47.240
<v Speaker 1>whether he goes I've heard Arizona the d Backs as

0:31:47.240 --> 0:31:49.360
<v Speaker 1>a place to maybe all help Goldschmidt in the middle

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 1>of that lineup where j D. Martinez bouncing Pollock is gone.

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:56.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know you talked about Mustakis. I think there's

0:31:56.120 --> 0:32:00.080
<v Speaker 1>some other guys that could prove to be helpful, you know,

0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:03.000
<v Speaker 1>further down like other glue pieces. You know, think about

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Jed Lowry in Oakland or Jonathan Luke

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Roy also in Oakland. What about a guy like Scooter Jeannette.

0:32:09.000 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Scooter Janette is hitting like three twenty for the Cincinnati

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Reds right now, you know. Or what about a guy

0:32:13.960 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>like um, if you need some power, Avasail Garcia could

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:20.760
<v Speaker 1>be interesting. This is a guy who rakes against lefties.

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:22.600
<v Speaker 1>So if you're in a you know, if you gotta

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:26.560
<v Speaker 1>face Dallas, Kiko or Chris sale As Garcia, he could help.

0:32:26.920 --> 0:32:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Or of course, you know, the Miami Marlins will probably

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>look to move jt Real Muto, Justin boor Starlin Castro,

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:36.280
<v Speaker 1>any of those guys. Uh, tickle your fancy Mike, Yeah,

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:38.800
<v Speaker 1>And I think they're all candidates that can be traded.

0:32:38.880 --> 0:32:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Like obviously, there's different levels of it, like Mannie Machado

0:32:42.160 --> 0:32:44.640
<v Speaker 1>is obviously the Mannie Machado and Scooter Janette are a

0:32:44.640 --> 0:32:47.800
<v Speaker 1>little different. Yeah, exactly. But from before the season, I

0:32:47.800 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 1>thought Scooter Jenette would be traded because they have Nick

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Senzel waiting in the winds. Uh, it just makes sense

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:55.760
<v Speaker 1>for the Marlins to shot like Boer and real Mutill.

0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, so, I do think there will be

0:32:57.520 --> 0:32:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of bats that do, in fact get dealt

0:32:59.600 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 1>at the line, and that can really change everything we

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 1>know about this season. Like if Boston goes out saying

0:33:06.920 --> 0:33:08.760
<v Speaker 1>gets one of these things, and I think they are

0:33:08.800 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 1>now the favorites of the Yankees or vice versa, so

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot will be determined. To think about it. Before

0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Houston got Justin Verylander last year, I know they were

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:19.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the favorites, but that was really the move

0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that pushed them over the top. Absolutely Okay, so keep

0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 1>an eye on these guys. One thing I will say,

0:33:24.800 --> 0:33:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and I know Mike Florio will echo this, if you

0:33:27.160 --> 0:33:30.959
<v Speaker 1>are in an a L or NL only league, save

0:33:31.360 --> 0:33:35.080
<v Speaker 1>your fab budget because if you're in an only league

0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden, Manny Machado becomes available in

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the player universe, you want to make sure you have

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:43.800
<v Speaker 1>one more dollar than the other guys. Okay, and if

0:33:43.880 --> 0:33:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Josh Donaldson goes to the St. Louis Cardinals or something,

0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:49.479
<v Speaker 1>you want to have the money in your fab budget

0:33:49.480 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 1>when a new player comes into the player universe. I

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Josh Donaldson last because Florio, they gotta move Donaldson

0:33:57.360 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 1>because they have you know, by many accounts, the greatest

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 1>play her of all time coming up in Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

0:34:03.800 --> 0:34:07.280
<v Speaker 1>But when you have guys like Justin Smoke, young eris Solarte,

0:34:07.360 --> 0:34:11.360
<v Speaker 1>whatever blocking spots, Donaldson, who's going to be a free agent,

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 1>has to get moved if nothing else, to clear the

0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:17.279
<v Speaker 1>way for Vladi Guerrero Jr. In the same way the

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Saints traded Adrian Peterson to clear the way for Alvin Kamara. Right, No,

0:34:22.040 --> 0:34:24.719
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. The best thing that's happened to

0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:26.800
<v Speaker 1>the Blue Jays franchise is they fell out of contention

0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:28.680
<v Speaker 1>for that wild card spot. If you look at it,

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:31.239
<v Speaker 1>remember what happened with Kansas City last year. They kind

0:34:31.239 --> 0:34:33.360
<v Speaker 1>of went for it. They didn't trade their guys away,

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and now they're gonna You could take a couple of

0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:37.759
<v Speaker 1>years off your rebuild if you trade those guys and

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:41.400
<v Speaker 1>get prospects. Absolutely. Look what the Yankees did trading Chapman, drinking,

0:34:41.520 --> 0:34:45.360
<v Speaker 1>trading Miller, restarking their pharmacists, and getting guys like Labor

0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Torres and the like. So that is the way to

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:49.880
<v Speaker 1>do it. You know, teams in the next month or

0:34:49.880 --> 0:34:52.839
<v Speaker 1>so are gonna start to be honest with themselves, and

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:54.719
<v Speaker 1>you need to get ahead of it as a fantasy

0:34:54.719 --> 0:34:58.040
<v Speaker 1>baseball player, save your fab budgets. As Florio said, look

0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 1>out for the spec e thanning guys, you know, and

0:35:00.560 --> 0:35:02.760
<v Speaker 1>get ahead of maybe flipping some of these guys before

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:05.839
<v Speaker 1>you think they may get traded into roles that are

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:09.319
<v Speaker 1>not still getting saves for your team. Right now, on

0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the poll question six pent of you say it will

0:35:12.120 --> 0:35:15.200
<v Speaker 1>be a bat that moves the needle, Machado, Donaldson and

0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the like. I kind of think it could be a

0:35:16.840 --> 0:35:19.720
<v Speaker 1>starting pitcher. Listen, if someone gets a quality starting pitcher

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Florio mentioned Verlander last year for the astros um that

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>could really change the shape of the playoff race and

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:31.560
<v Speaker 1>of the playoffs itself. Onlycent of you think that. Of

0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 1>you say the bullpen as well. Hit me up at

0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:08.000
<v Speaker 1>They do good things over there, and I got my

0:37:08.080 --> 0:37:12.120
<v Speaker 1>man Danny because uh, you know, we're doing big things here.

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I told you I got something over here. We're gonna

0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:16.239
<v Speaker 1>get into in a hot second. He usually manages the

0:37:16.600 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 1>chat room right there with the stats over Beat Cipher.

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.520
<v Speaker 1>We got strong Style out there, big shout out to

0:37:21.560 --> 0:37:24.439
<v Speaker 1>strong Style as always talking about how this he'll turn

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Nakamura is his best self. I kind of agree with you,

0:37:28.360 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, Uh, strong style probably going from listening to

0:37:31.600 --> 0:37:35.040
<v Speaker 1>fantasy freestyle right into apparently like w w E SmackDown

0:37:35.520 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 1>where apparently a strong style Shinsky Nakamura will make it pop.

0:37:39.600 --> 0:37:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Also in the stats over Beat Cipher real quick in

0:37:41.360 --> 0:37:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the chat room, m s r F Is asking me

0:37:44.080 --> 0:37:45.359
<v Speaker 1>if this is a good or a bad trade. He's

0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:49.520
<v Speaker 1>given up Adrian Beltray to get Ryan Braun and Miguel Cabrera,

0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:51.520
<v Speaker 1>and my natural question would be like, well, what about

0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:53.399
<v Speaker 1>your third base situation? He says, he already has third

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:56.640
<v Speaker 1>basement in Jake Lamb and Chris Bryant and in my

0:37:56.680 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 1>guy Vlad Camaro Jr. So because of that, and even

0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:04.120
<v Speaker 1>before that, yeah, do the trade, get Ryan Braun and

0:38:04.160 --> 0:38:07.399
<v Speaker 1>get Meggi Cabrera. MSRF, you boys, spitting statistician says, pull

0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the trigger on that, but I digress. Hey, Danny otto

0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:16.040
<v Speaker 1>Um Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer and

0:38:16.080 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 1>on Rhodo Experts. In the morning last week before we

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:20.719
<v Speaker 1>went in, I was talking about barbecues with The King's

0:38:20.719 --> 0:38:22.480
<v Speaker 1>goot Angle, and I was saying, one of the things

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I like to do is soak watermelon in alcohol. Okay,

0:38:27.560 --> 0:38:29.759
<v Speaker 1>a little tip for your barbecue. Okay, I'm sorry if

0:38:29.760 --> 0:38:31.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little bit late, but it works for all

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:35.359
<v Speaker 1>barbecues all year long, all summer, for all summer, and

0:38:35.480 --> 0:38:38.040
<v Speaker 1>so uh, the King's goot Angle was on something like

0:38:38.200 --> 0:38:39.600
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard of that. I need to come to

0:38:39.640 --> 0:38:43.319
<v Speaker 1>your barbecue. You're aware of this idea of you know,

0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:46.799
<v Speaker 1>soaking watermelons. Absolutely. Yeah. I had a little amendment to

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that because because the way that we used to do

0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>still do it. Who's this? We got it? Got it.

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Most of my stories are just roommates tonight. Fair enough,

0:38:56.600 --> 0:38:59.120
<v Speaker 1>we get drunk um, but it's you You take a

0:38:59.120 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 1>full watermelon and you kind of corkscrew into it and

0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>drill into it or something like that, and then you

0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:05.120
<v Speaker 1>just stick a bottle upside down in it and it

0:39:05.200 --> 0:39:07.480

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:09.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm with that. It could go that way,

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and you can also cut it in half, and poor man,

0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:14.920

<v Speaker 1>let that play, and we're gonna drink as well. Listen

0:42:30.880 --> 0:42:33.120
<v Speaker 1>to Levan bell I like it, alright, that's what we're

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:36.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna do. So listen Levan bell As you know, franchise

0:42:36.080 --> 0:42:39.080
<v Speaker 1>tag thinks he deserves more money. Levan bell A k

0:42:39.120 --> 0:42:43.160
<v Speaker 1>A juice. We've profiled him, shout out Captain Morgan. Um,

0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>we've profiled him before as well. On the rapping athletes.

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:50.840
<v Speaker 1>He just dropped the track last week, and it's called Target, Danny.

0:42:50.880 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 1>And it's called target because he thinks he is being

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:56.839
<v Speaker 1>portrayed as a target in the media, and so he's

0:42:56.840 --> 0:43:00.400
<v Speaker 1>now using his lyricism to an essence negoti ate his

0:43:00.480 --> 0:43:03.560
<v Speaker 1>contract out there in public. That's smart, It is kind

0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of smart. Let's see if he's actually a good rapper though. Um. So,

0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:09.160
<v Speaker 1>what we're gonna do is we're gonna have JP play

0:43:09.200 --> 0:43:11.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit down there the night out. He's gonna

0:43:11.160 --> 0:43:13.520
<v Speaker 1>play a little bit of this track called Target from

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Levy on Bell A k A Juice, Danny and I.

0:43:15.960 --> 0:43:19.239
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna listen to it. We're gonna do a watermelon

0:43:19.320 --> 0:43:21.400
<v Speaker 1>shot and we'll let you know what we think after

0:43:21.440 --> 0:43:23.640
<v Speaker 1>this sound good. JP were ready to rock and roll.

0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it. Let's do it fantasy freestyle Levy on

0:43:26.960 --> 0:43:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Bell his track called Target right now cheers, but goes

0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:33.080
<v Speaker 1>on my wallet eball line on Bell Wallace. I can't

0:43:33.120 --> 0:43:36.640
<v Speaker 1>do one thing about it. H. So they put me

0:43:36.800 --> 0:43:40.040
<v Speaker 1>on the tag. Definitely not gonna track. But I got

0:43:40.080 --> 0:43:43.879
<v Speaker 1>that bad guy. I wonder why they like the bad guy.

0:43:44.680 --> 0:43:47.000
<v Speaker 1>You said I ain't the best. That's a bad guy.

0:43:47.960 --> 0:43:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm a new one. But I won't just leave me along.

0:43:53.400 --> 0:43:55.840
<v Speaker 1>If I do what you want and you want me gone,

0:43:56.640 --> 0:44:00.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say you're being really grass. The way you

0:44:00.120 --> 0:44:03.319
<v Speaker 1>switch up, the way you switch up on he's talking

0:44:03.320 --> 0:44:09.000
<v Speaker 1>about the Steelers. You can see him, you can see

0:44:09.080 --> 0:44:16.280
<v Speaker 1>him doing shows. So you think I'm out of shape? Alright, alright,

0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:18.799
<v Speaker 1>that's enough. That's Levan Bell. We can rock that, JP.

0:44:19.040 --> 0:44:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. H Danny, we've talked a little bit before,

0:44:22.239 --> 0:44:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and first of all, you re uped on the watermelon shots. Nice.

0:44:26.280 --> 0:44:29.400
<v Speaker 1>I like it was great, Like, yeah, we love the shots.

0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:33.080
<v Speaker 1>What was better, Danny? The watermelon smash shots or the

0:44:33.160 --> 0:44:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Levy on Bell versus new offense to Levy on Bell?

0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:40.120
<v Speaker 1>But the Captain Morgan watermelon smash clearly, clearly better. Clearly.

0:44:40.200 --> 0:44:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Remember how we talk about that Southern wrap and how

0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:44.880
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of lazy. I think that fits into this category.

0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm a New Yorker, right, so I like kind

0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 1>of some lyricism out there. And you know, Levan, you

0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:53.320
<v Speaker 1>got your point and all cool, but I'm going with

0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:59.319
<v Speaker 1>the watermelon smash. Watermelon smash cheers. Hey, so JP, you're

0:44:59.320 --> 0:45:02.759
<v Speaker 1>also out there on there in the fantasy pit of misery, Dilley, Dilley, Um,

0:45:02.840 --> 0:45:05.319
<v Speaker 1>what do you think about this Levy on Bell track

0:45:05.480 --> 0:45:08.000
<v Speaker 1>target where he's trying to negotiate a little bit um,

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you know in his verses? Yeah, I'm gonna agree with you.

0:45:12.080 --> 0:45:13.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really feeling it. I mean it's cool because

0:45:13.960 --> 0:45:15.879
<v Speaker 1>like you gotta like in depth look at like what's

0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:17.680
<v Speaker 1>going on with him in the Steelers. But on that

0:45:17.880 --> 0:45:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm not really feeling like the track itself,

0:45:20.040 --> 0:45:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Yeah, no, I I understand. Listen.

0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:24.880
<v Speaker 1>And here's the other thing he taught. There was an

0:45:24.880 --> 0:45:28.239
<v Speaker 1>interview with Antonio Brown recently where even Antonio Brown was like, listen,

0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:30.239
<v Speaker 1>he needs to show up, you know, if he wants

0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:33.880
<v Speaker 1>to kind of negotiate instead of doing this in the media.

0:45:34.120 --> 0:45:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I talked a little bit earlier JP about Antonio Brown

0:45:37.960 --> 0:45:43.360
<v Speaker 1>kneeling on Instagram kind of making his voice known, JP, Danny,

0:45:44.160 --> 0:45:46.360
<v Speaker 1>is that really just a millennial athlete? You know, you

0:45:46.400 --> 0:45:48.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have to come out and say it. You like

0:45:48.360 --> 0:45:50.959
<v Speaker 1>something on i G. You come out with a rap verse,

0:45:51.440 --> 0:45:53.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, you put something on blast on Twitter, you

0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:57.080
<v Speaker 1>tag something to someone else. You know, I'm I'm I'm

0:45:57.120 --> 0:45:59.840
<v Speaker 1>a gen xer, I'm not a millennial. Is this pretty

0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:02.320
<v Speaker 1>much like part and parcel. This is just part for

0:46:02.360 --> 0:46:04.359
<v Speaker 1>the course for the millennial athlete. Is this the way

0:46:04.440 --> 0:46:07.840
<v Speaker 1>it has done these days? Because some people don't really understand,

0:46:08.080 --> 0:46:10.680
<v Speaker 1>but this is the way people are communicating these days

0:46:10.960 --> 0:46:14.000
<v Speaker 1>on the internet, in social social media, we see people

0:46:14.080 --> 0:46:17.000
<v Speaker 1>posting workout videos and all sorts of stuff. Is this

0:46:17.160 --> 0:46:18.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of just the sign of the Times, Danny, I,

0:46:19.080 --> 0:46:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, I think so. I think, uh, social media

0:46:23.040 --> 0:46:25.759
<v Speaker 1>becomes more and more and more important because they can

0:46:25.800 --> 0:46:27.840
<v Speaker 1>reach so many people and they can do it anywhere

0:46:27.960 --> 0:46:30.640
<v Speaker 1>from any time. And here's the other thing, Danny, you

0:46:30.760 --> 0:46:34.080
<v Speaker 1>have like plausible deniability. You know, all the time you'd

0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:36.840
<v Speaker 1>be like not not not someone hacked my account, you know,

0:46:37.160 --> 0:46:39.880
<v Speaker 1>or you could like take something down real quick. To me,

0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:43.240
<v Speaker 1>it fits into like how these millennials have no accountability,

0:46:43.719 --> 0:46:46.760
<v Speaker 1>no responsibility, JP, Do you care? Do you care to answer?

0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Do you care to retort? Because I think this is

0:46:49.320 --> 0:46:52.120
<v Speaker 1>a very low stakes way when you're anonymous or on

0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the internet, or you could just take it down, or

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you could just be like, nah, I wasn't talking about that.

0:46:57.000 --> 0:46:59.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mean that, you know. I think this is

0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:01.799
<v Speaker 1>the way the MILLENNI those are doing things. JP. You're

0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:03.719
<v Speaker 1>a millennial. We talked about when you just went to

0:47:03.800 --> 0:47:06.279
<v Speaker 1>prom about three weeks ago. What do you think, JP?

0:47:06.440 --> 0:47:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Is this the way? Is this the right way for

0:47:08.120 --> 0:47:11.640
<v Speaker 1>athletes to pick their fights and negotiate and make their

0:47:11.760 --> 0:47:15.120
<v Speaker 1>stances known social media these days? JP? I'm kind of

0:47:15.200 --> 0:47:17.880
<v Speaker 1>on the athletes Like page just because I see if

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:20.120
<v Speaker 1>how frustrating it could be. Probably if you're not getting

0:47:20.160 --> 0:47:21.839
<v Speaker 1>that deal, you're not getting what you want, and then

0:47:21.880 --> 0:47:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you can go out and so easily have the public

0:47:23.560 --> 0:47:26.560
<v Speaker 1>on your side by just sharing your opinion immediately and

0:47:26.640 --> 0:47:29.360
<v Speaker 1>being like, hey, everyone agrees to me because you've just presented.

0:47:29.400 --> 0:47:32.160
<v Speaker 1>So you like the access that social media affords, like

0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:34.719
<v Speaker 1>to the athletes getting it direct from them, Like, it's

0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:37.080
<v Speaker 1>not we don't need the player Tribune anymore. We can

0:47:37.120 --> 0:47:39.720
<v Speaker 1>go straight to the athletes on I G or Twitter

0:47:39.920 --> 0:47:44.280
<v Speaker 1>or whatever have you on snapchat, whatever it is. Yeah, absolutely, alright, alright,

0:47:44.400 --> 0:47:47.799
<v Speaker 1>fair enough. Hey JP, um, I know you haven't had

0:47:47.840 --> 0:47:49.520
<v Speaker 1>one yet, but what do you think will be better?

0:47:49.560 --> 0:47:53.000
<v Speaker 1>The watermelon smash here by Captain Morgan shout out to

0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Jim Sias or the Levy on beltrack. I was gonna

0:47:56.520 --> 0:47:58.919
<v Speaker 1>vote for for the drink after I heard the first

0:47:58.920 --> 0:48:02.319
<v Speaker 1>without even trying and trying. Well, we'll hook you up

0:48:02.360 --> 0:48:04.799
<v Speaker 1>down there in the fantasy pit of misery. Dilly dilly

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:07.759
<v Speaker 1>to JP tonight out hooking it up. He's twenty one

0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:11.320
<v Speaker 1>years and three days old, So we're gonna make that pop, Danny.

0:48:12.000 --> 0:48:14.960
<v Speaker 1>What's going on on popping off? Speaking of popping off?

0:48:15.160 --> 0:48:17.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know how We're gonna help out JP pop

0:48:17.600 --> 0:48:19.800
<v Speaker 1>off a little bit over here. UM, what's going on on?

0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Popping off? I was talking to um Scott Angele and

0:48:23.480 --> 0:48:26.680
<v Speaker 1>what he did over the weekend was he saw Deadpool

0:48:26.719 --> 0:48:30.359
<v Speaker 1>two and he saw Solo. He told me he thought

0:48:30.440 --> 0:48:35.279
<v Speaker 1>dead Bull to dead Bull, dead Pool to shout out

0:48:35.320 --> 0:48:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to Captain Morgan's watermelon smash, Um, Deadpool too. This is

0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:41.719
<v Speaker 1>the spitting statistician, the stable genius and vocal minority. Um.

0:48:42.239 --> 0:48:44.920
<v Speaker 1>He said Deadpool two was really good. He thought it

0:48:44.960 --> 0:48:46.120
<v Speaker 1>was better than the first one. I thought it was

0:48:46.200 --> 0:48:49.600
<v Speaker 1>really good. He said Solo was and he gave it

0:48:49.640 --> 0:48:51.560
<v Speaker 1>three out of five stars and just didn't believe the

0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:55.799
<v Speaker 1>actor that was playing Solo. UM. I know you are

0:48:55.960 --> 0:48:59.360
<v Speaker 1>very well versed in these sorts of issues. Uh, what

0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:01.760
<v Speaker 1>do you think about scott Angles review of these two movies?

0:49:02.160 --> 0:49:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I for the most part agree with Scott. Actually, Um,

0:49:05.280 --> 0:49:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Deadpool two was incredible. If if you have the opportunity

0:49:08.800 --> 0:49:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to go see it, check it out, go see it.

0:49:10.200 --> 0:49:12.880
<v Speaker 1>It's I will see this. It's not a movie that

0:49:12.960 --> 0:49:15.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to see in the theaters because it's it

0:49:15.760 --> 0:49:17.640
<v Speaker 1>will still translate when you go see it, Like if

0:49:17.680 --> 0:49:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you see it at your house, or I can catch

0:49:19.680 --> 0:49:21.600
<v Speaker 1>it in Netflix and chill later on in a few months. Right.

0:49:22.120 --> 0:49:23.640
<v Speaker 1>But it's a great movie. So if you want to

0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:25.600
<v Speaker 1>support them, because maybe they'll make a third one, if

0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:27.560
<v Speaker 1>if they get a really good box off showing type

0:49:27.560 --> 0:49:29.120
<v Speaker 1>of thing, you want to do that, it's worth it.

0:49:29.160 --> 0:49:30.719
<v Speaker 1>It's worth the movie ticket. Okay, that's what it is.

0:49:31.320 --> 0:49:36.239
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars. I went in before you even start up.

0:49:36.640 --> 0:49:39.279
<v Speaker 1>You're like, and then Star Wars and I see your

0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:41.240
<v Speaker 1>voice kind of change. But here's the thing. It seems

0:49:41.280 --> 0:49:43.880
<v Speaker 1>like you're prepping me for disclaimers, Danny. Here's the thing.

0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing. I have a love hate relationship with

0:49:46.560 --> 0:49:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars the original trilogy. I have a love hate

0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:53.080
<v Speaker 1>relationship with Watermelon Smash Well. I will later on exacting

0:49:53.160 --> 0:49:56.440
<v Speaker 1>on how many we take. Um. I love the original trilogy.

0:49:56.600 --> 0:49:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I grew up watching it as a little kid. My

0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:01.640
<v Speaker 1>my dad introduced it to and stuff like that. The

0:50:01.680 --> 0:50:04.480
<v Speaker 1>prequel trilogy was the first set of new Star Wars

0:50:04.520 --> 0:50:07.120
<v Speaker 1>movies made in my lifetime, Like that was made in

0:50:07.239 --> 0:50:08.919
<v Speaker 1>my lifetime. I was supposed to be the target market

0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:11.919
<v Speaker 1>for that. I don't like any of them. I just don't.

0:50:11.960 --> 0:50:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, some of them I'll watch I'll watch episode three,

0:50:14.360 --> 0:50:16.959
<v Speaker 1>I'll watch episode two even, but never episode one again.

0:50:17.000 --> 0:50:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to forget about that. Um And But ever

0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:23.000
<v Speaker 1>since the prequel ones, I've liked the newer Star Wars movie.

0:50:23.000 --> 0:50:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I loved Rogue one. I thought that was great and

0:50:25.000 --> 0:50:27.520
<v Speaker 1>that didn't have any of the main characters really in it.

0:50:27.760 --> 0:50:31.359
<v Speaker 1>That that the the main story arc has um Episode seven,

0:50:31.400 --> 0:50:34.120
<v Speaker 1>episode eight, those were good. Episode seven was better than

0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:37.239
<v Speaker 1>episode eight. But that's my opinion. Um. But I went

0:50:37.320 --> 0:50:40.560
<v Speaker 1>in with the with the solo movie, um optimistic but

0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:43.279
<v Speaker 1>worried just because, like I had heard some stuff and

0:50:43.400 --> 0:50:47.200
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately your warries were founded, not really leaving it. And

0:50:47.320 --> 0:50:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I gave this to Nando because Nando was given was

0:50:49.680 --> 0:50:52.000
<v Speaker 1>was having a talk with me too before this. I

0:50:52.120 --> 0:50:55.120
<v Speaker 1>went in nervous and but optimistic, and I went out going,

0:50:55.280 --> 0:50:56.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what, it was better than I thought it

0:50:56.840 --> 0:51:01.600
<v Speaker 1>was gonna be. Ah. Disappointment is a function of expectation, right,

0:51:01.719 --> 0:51:04.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you put the bar real low, it was

0:51:04.320 --> 0:51:07.960
<v Speaker 1>not that easy to trust me. Relationship advice for everybody

0:51:08.000 --> 0:51:09.759
<v Speaker 1>out there in the status of a beat cipher and

0:51:09.880 --> 0:51:12.399
<v Speaker 1>for the unicorns out there, if you keep the bar

0:51:12.560 --> 0:51:16.239
<v Speaker 1>of expectations low. It's that much easy to hop over

0:51:16.400 --> 0:51:19.480
<v Speaker 1>it right, under promise and over deliver. Here's what I

0:51:19.560 --> 0:51:24.520
<v Speaker 1>will say. One thing though, Um Infinity War and Deadpool

0:51:24.560 --> 0:51:30.359
<v Speaker 1>two came out right before Han Solo. If perception, if

0:51:30.400 --> 0:51:33.439
<v Speaker 1>these have been in a different kind of order, maybe

0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:36.000
<v Speaker 1>people like whatever movie I see after Godfather too. I'm

0:51:36.040 --> 0:51:40.080
<v Speaker 1>not gonna like like Avengers Infinity War. Just I mean,

0:51:40.120 --> 0:51:42.000
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't seen it yet, I'm not gonna spoil anything,

0:51:42.080 --> 0:51:44.680
<v Speaker 1>don't do it. But if you haven't seen it yet,

0:51:44.719 --> 0:51:46.920
<v Speaker 1>go see in the movies. It deserves a movie visit.

0:51:47.080 --> 0:51:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Deadpool two was just amazing because I'll have to check

0:51:49.840 --> 0:51:52.480
<v Speaker 1>that out and see those two. Those are knocking out

0:51:52.520 --> 0:51:54.960
<v Speaker 1>of the park. There's there's no chance any movie was

0:51:55.000 --> 0:51:57.200
<v Speaker 1>really going to climb to those kind of expectations. All right,

0:51:57.280 --> 0:51:58.759
<v Speaker 1>fair enough, do me a favor. We only got a

0:51:58.760 --> 0:52:01.680
<v Speaker 1>minute left. Let's do one more. Are shoutouts Captain Morgan's

0:52:01.680 --> 0:52:03.759
<v Speaker 1>helping us out here in the Fantasy Freestyle. I gotta

0:52:03.800 --> 0:52:07.200

0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:17.840
<v Speaker 1>what I want to do here is last check on

0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:21.239
<v Speaker 1>the poll of you think Machado, Donaldson or a bat

0:52:21.560 --> 0:52:24.200
<v Speaker 1>is what's gonna move the needlecent of you say a

0:52:24.280 --> 0:52:26.840
<v Speaker 1>starting pitcher like Hamil's happen. Maybe a Tyson Ross that

0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:29.440
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about. A lot of people though think it

0:52:29.560 --> 0:52:32.919
<v Speaker 1>is a bullpen piece, Kelvin Herrera, Zach Britton, Brad Hand,

0:52:33.000 --> 0:52:36.239
<v Speaker 1>maybe Nate Jones, as I discussed with Mike Florio. If
