0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>What's Up, Nobody? Welcome inside Studio thirty four Fodica Monday,

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 1>here on the Fantasy Best Friends Forever, the Fantasy Sports

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Radio Network. Make Sussman. Takes him a little bit longer

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to get out of bed in this old age, takes

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 1>him a long time to climb up the stairs and

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>make it into the studio, so he'll be here eventually.

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>It was very eventful weekend in the baseball world. Obviously,

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>we lose another first round pick in Aaron Judge, and

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>we gained another one back. So you gotta give one up,

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you gotta sacrifice one to get one back. So we

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>get Frankie Lindor back. Over the weekend but we lose

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Judge. It was a big waiver wire weekend because

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 1>all these prospects get called up For me, and I'll

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>throw this to you, Matt Modica of the Athletic at

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>CTN Baseball. To me, this was one of the hardest

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>weekends in terms of FAT because there's a lot of

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>really interesting prospects that got called up. But the thing is,

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how long they're gonna be up, how

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>well they're gonna play. I mean that's always, you know,

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>part of what we're trying to figure out, how well

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna play. But I just don't know how long

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>some of these guys are gonna be up. So it

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 1>was really really tough FAB weekend for me overall. How

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 1>was your your fab? How was your your Fantasy baseball weekend?

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? Madimo? Um, Happy Monday to you. First,

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>let's start off that way. I was, you know, a

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>tragic weekend, starting with the Friday afternoon late news of

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Jacob de Graham and you know m R. And then

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden he's throwing the next day. You know,

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>that's that's just the Mets. But in terms of FAB,

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.959
<v Speaker 1>I really wanted Mike Sarokia where I didn't own him already,

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and in the leagues where he didn't, he was getting

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>scooped up after the first week, and that's why I

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 1>was acting accordingly in other leagues. But I did get

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>him in two spots. Look the cold Tucker thing, I

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>totally understand. I didn't bid over ninety nine dollars for him,

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and I would have liked to have owned him. But

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I was aggressive on Clint Frasier a couple of weeks ago.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I'm spending money in other places, so

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>you gotta save some fab and you can't just get everybody.

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>So I understand the aggressive nature and the wanting to

0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>get the speed that Tucker can possibly give you. You

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>could possibly be in the minors in two weeks as well.

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I heard that about Clint Fraser, so I don't like,

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.119
<v Speaker 1>I really want to get on anybody. If they spent

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.239
<v Speaker 1>three dars on him, I wouldn't have done it. I

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>wish I would have gotten him an our main event

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>that I think I only been fifty nine that when

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like the lowest one I had on him,

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:25.959
<v Speaker 1>and I would have wanted if I did my other

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>eight bids, I would have wanted be in that league,

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and that was a mistake. Yeah, and I actually saw

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:37.320
<v Speaker 1>that the lowest bid four Cold Tucker over the weekend

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>in the main events was actually in our league. It was.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>It was a seventy seven dollar bid, and I had

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the backupout seventy three. So I was pretty sad about that,

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>missing out on a Cold Tucker by four dollars. We'll

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>get into the rest of these prospects, all the waiver

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>wire stuff from the weekend with that, welcome in my

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>buddy Greg Suspend, what up? Hey, Frank? How are you sorry?

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing all right. How's your weekend? It was okay,

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of traveling this ken, a little trailing for

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the holidays this weekend. Yeah, eventful passover. I wouldn't say

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>it was eventful, which is so I was lie on Friday,

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Philly on Saturday, back in New York on Sunday. A lot,

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>just a lot of trail. Well that's why he's so late.

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's one weekend. It's Do you have a

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>good easter, Maddie, muh yeah. I had a pretty good easter,

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, nothing like truly eventful, but you know, baseball

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>was on court on the Ten Commandment. Saturday night. I

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 1>watched that everything. Oh we saw that. I was watching

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>as well, Maddie. Yeah, that that movie is still in the

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen fifty six and it's still fantastic. Well, we're

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>totally all the same page we had it. It is long.

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.479
<v Speaker 1>I've never seen it in Commandments. I don't I've never seen.

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what it's about, Well, something something religious,

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I would guess, Greg, I don't know. It starts. I

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.480
<v Speaker 1>have no idea. What you know. The Ten Commandments are

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>all right, there's a lot that I don't know. I mean,

0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 1>so it's it's about Moses, right, just you know, breaking away,

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.279
<v Speaker 1>going to Israel. Yeah, by the way, Moses Modica would

0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>be I like, you should name your kid Moses Modica.

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I like that. That's biblical reference. I like that. I

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>like the alliteration too. I'm with it. What was this Modica?

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm in soon, hopefully not too soon, unless unless you

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>know that's in the plans for you, Matt. You know,

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I get I'm not dictating your life. But whatever happens happens. Yeah,

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>do you look at me, I'm I don't know. Do

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you start thinking about like little Susman names too. I

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:35.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know. No, I hope not absolutely not, absolutely not.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I didn't sleep great last night, or that question is coming. Yeah,

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. Why was that? I was alright, I don't

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.800
<v Speaker 1>know it was. It was on and off. I just

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>too many thoughts running through my head and it just

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't feel right. We're disappointed in Game of Thrones. No,

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I loved it. I loved the Game of Thrones last night,

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 1>and I kind of flip flopped from it was amazing

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 1>next it wasn't bad. It had some cool moments last night.

0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I don't want to talk about anything

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>specific in case someone hasn't watched it yet, but um,

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I thought, you know, there were some cool moments. But

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>and I know the fight, you know, the Battle of

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Winterfeld's coming next week. But I wanted to see some

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to see some action. I think I'm just

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 1>getting a little a little greedy, little selfish greeky. Yeah,

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I thought last week was was slar right, whatever,

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>We're back, and it was like and last night was

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 1>last night. Just the banter was hysterical, Like I laughed

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>out loud of a torment. I felt good for brand Um.

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>It was great I loved it. I really did. What

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>do you think Matt and Danny, He'll turned his coming.

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 1>It's great. I was very happy for Area, you know. Yeah,

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that Brand's part was fantastic, fantastic overall. I thought it

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 1>was one of their worst episodes. Too much cheesy like

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Week one. I was fine with except for that dragon

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>ride that was like, you know, like out of a

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 1>high school, you know, movie or something like that. But

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's four more episodes. You're gonna be action packed.

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.719
<v Speaker 1>I love the series. I loved book, so I don't

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:05.479
<v Speaker 1>want to hate on it. It's interesting different perspectives because Matt,

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, Matt says he thought it was one of

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the worst episodes in Downstairs, Alex video producer said, I

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>thought it was one of the top five episodes in

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the series. Yeah, it was an amazing episode. It really was.

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm without, I'm more without. It's cool that you know,

0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>you find different want you guys are smoking down there, man,

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, so I don't know, we must be missing something. Yeah,

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't. I don't know, man. I'm excited.

0:07:27.880 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>You know what's coming next week, It's gonna be it's

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna be. Yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun.

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>That was your fab How was your fab weekend? How

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>was my fab weekend? My pit teams in disaster. I've

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 1>lost everybody on the team, Like my entire team is hurt.

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>That sucks. I think I think you're suffering from some

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>karma because you said that I didn't know how to

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>play in the headset categories. Never, I'll never know that one.

0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the first place understanding you're in twelve. Oh,

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not last surprised. Yeah, I just looked at it

0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>before we came because you know, if you were in

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 1>LA I was gonna blast you. So yeah, so that

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 1>wasn't That wasn't so good. But you know, it's Mike

0:07:58.240 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Talkman's world and we're just living at it. And so

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>that's how I feel. That's the sockman. Seriously, fact was

0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the guy because we lost outfielders everywhere, Frankly, multiple outfielders.

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>We lost in all of our leagues, including the pit

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>league for me, and I feel like everybody that the

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>number one guy I kept trying to add was Mike

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Talkman and I'm i out of my mind, frank No,

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that you are. I will say it

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.239
<v Speaker 1>could be a potential short term Uh, you know, open

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>up like the playing time that's opened up from it

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>might be short term again. And look, the cream rises

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to the top. That's what we talked about with Clint Fraser.

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>And you know, Talkman's performing well. And you know, over

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the past week he had three homers and the Yankees

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>play seven games. They're going on a road trip. They

0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>expect to get Standing back sooner rather than later. They're

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.959
<v Speaker 1>talking about, you know, him returning during this road trip

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>at some point. But you know, once he returns, uh

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to Talkman necessarily play every day. I think he will

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>play every day for now until Stanton's back. And you know,

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what like an exposure to the Yankees line,

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 1>but it's not like it was before, Like the Yankees

0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>lineup right, what does that mean? Not a good line?

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.079
<v Speaker 1>Triple A and and the thing like him, And you

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.719
<v Speaker 1>know I was you know, I had like five six

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>per cent bids on him. Nothing too crazy, But I

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>think I think you should like him, like you know,

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>three three or four career hitters in the minors and

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, hit twenty home runs last year across multiple levels,

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 1>twelve stolen basis, so I think there's there's a little

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>something there with Talkman is as long as he's gonna

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 1>play every day for now. And the thing with Talkman

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>is and more specifically Stanton, right, it's that he's he's

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.120
<v Speaker 1>not a mac an all that soon. That's the issue,

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Like he's not fee well they're saying, brought this road trip.

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>He should be back, except you don't believe it when

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.400
<v Speaker 1>you see it. There's like no optimism around the Yankees

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 1>right now, and rightfully so no, But here's the thing,

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 1>like he's not swinging or he hasn't hit live pitching yet,

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 1>isn't thrown from the autfield yet, isn't there anything yet?

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.080
<v Speaker 1>He's hitting the ball off a tap Frank Yeah, I

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 1>mean whatever, he could be a d H and kind

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>of he's not hitting live pitching yet. All right, I'm

0:09:58.160 --> 0:09:59.839
<v Speaker 1>just saying like it's gonna be. He's gonna be. It's

0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:02.080
<v Speaker 1>not like he's on the shelf for another month. Right,

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.560
<v Speaker 1>He's probably back with I'm glad, Matt, I'm glad. How

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>does Jacob the grounds elbow? Well, you can't do that,

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:15.239
<v Speaker 1>and I expect it real quicker on Mike Cochman, I

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>said out a street yesterday with a picture of an

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Iraq g and I said, I can't confirm, but I'm

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:28.319
<v Speaker 1>pretty confident this car. Whatever we'll take it, we'll take it.

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Mike Talkingman, the guy I added everywhere, Frank, I don't

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.600
<v Speaker 1>believe I just said that. Yeah, look it was. It

0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 1>was a tough weekend for for injuries. Again, we lose

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Austin Meadows this day you wake up on a Sunday morning,

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Austin Meadows in the I L, Aaron Judge on Saturday,

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>and Starling Marte also lands in the I L. So

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>we have a lot of high profile outfielders who were

0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>landing on the I L. And you know, in deeper leagues,

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.560
<v Speaker 1>fifteen teamers, you know, talking when someone who's out there

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.719
<v Speaker 1>again gonna play every day, when once they get back

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>in Yankee Stadium, it should be all right, Like you know,

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 1>they play in San Francisco and uh Los Angeles Angels

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>of Anaheim over this next week. So it's something the

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 1>greatest ballparks. But at least he's gonna play every day. Matt,

0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 1>did you have any bids in on Talkman or not interested? No?

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I really didn't bid on him him this week, and

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I get it in certain formats off like vlat Sadler

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>put out a tweet today and it's it's really important

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.199
<v Speaker 1>for people, and you know, any kind of competitive lead

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.079
<v Speaker 1>its weekly. If you look at it weekly, that will

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 1>help you a lot. I mean, I always go with

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the understanding of by talent and it will win out

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>in the long run. But like Howie Kendrick, this week

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>was an excellent ed And when we talk about our league,

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 1>that's the guy that I don't know how I had

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>a ligoria over him this week. That was a mistake,

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know he's playing three games in Colorado, So

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, you gotta look at it in specific uh,

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:53.079
<v Speaker 1>in specific ways, and fab is difficult, but there are

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:58.199
<v Speaker 1>ways to manage it and be very effective. Yeah, it's

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I saw last tweets well that it's a weekly at

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>least in year leagues. Right, it's it's a weekly league,

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>and you can't worry about the day to day that

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.040
<v Speaker 1>when the season's over or three two or three weeks

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>on the line, things will kind of play themselves out

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>how they're supposed to. Everyone kind of reverts to the

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.199
<v Speaker 1>mean and reversed to what they are, and you want

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>to be on top of that. And not necessarily worry

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.320
<v Speaker 1>about just this week or just these couple of days.

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's certainly a good way to look

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>at it in weekly leagues. And that's why I don't

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>like those leagues right because I can't. I can't help myself.

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I get very anty. It doesn't work for me. I

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.840
<v Speaker 1>want to drop everyone. I didn't even want to drop

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 1>anyone yesterday. What do I want to drop? I wanted

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to drop Wade Miley, my guy, yeah, which surprised me

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>because he finally has a two star week. And you know, yeah,

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 1>but we have so many open roster spots because again

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.000
<v Speaker 1>we had Meadows, we had Starley Marte, so you know,

0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.320
<v Speaker 1>we have some open roster spots and put those guys

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>in the I L and we have to pick up outfielders.

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>What's up real quickly? On Orsten Meadows, who's he's been fantastic,

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I have to say, absolutely fantastic. But I treated out

0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>like an hour or two ago. Orston Meadows stats this

0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:04.079
<v Speaker 1>season and Clint Fraser stats this season, and they're pretty

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 1>much identical with the only exception was the three stolen bases. Yeah,

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 1>click Fraser has been awesome. I know that was your

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>guy a couple of weeks ago when he came up

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>you this is where you were spending heavy. This is

0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the type of guy that you liked can help you

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>throughout this season. And and Frank, we did it. In

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.439
<v Speaker 1>one of our leads. We spent what we needed to

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 1>do to go out get Cliff Frasier. Uh and thanks

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>to him that we're kind of a float of the moment. Yeah,

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>we spent twenty seven dollars out of a hundred dollar

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>fab budget in the in g D D, which is

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>a fifteen team mixed Rhodo. So yeah, we you know,

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.920
<v Speaker 1>we spent a decent jumpp there, But you know, feeling

0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.320
<v Speaker 1>good about it now. Just and I tweeted this yesterday.

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if the Yankees find a way to screw

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:45.959
<v Speaker 1>this up, I don't think that they will. But once

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 1>everyone comes back healthy, you know, is Aaron Boone gonna

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>do an Aaron Boone thing? And we need you know,

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Britt Gardner's leadership or whatever. No, no, we don't. You

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>know that that ship has has sailed. I just want

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that Clint Fraser, I hope, so you know,

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope so I have I'm cautiously optimistic yeah, they

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>look at this team and it's really not very good.

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm litt now excited. They were getting about Tyro Extrada

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.199
<v Speaker 1>bunting yesterday. This was a big spot. And it was

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 1>a big spot. I was I was listening to I

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.240
<v Speaker 1>was listening to Sterling on the radio and it was like,

0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 1>and you would you look at that? What a bunt?

0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 1>What a bunt? And Susan like, exactly need to do

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 1>the kid. The kid got here yesterday. That kiddy got

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you last night, and what a bunt. And I was like,

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 1>oh my god. I was surprise. I was actually watching

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>it started an hour earlier whatever, but I was still

0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>watching that Yankees game over the met game because Paxson

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.760
<v Speaker 1>was just unbelievable. He was good, and the minute he

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 1>stopped pitting, the minute they took him out, I stopped

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 1>watching it. And then I see the yankeeslusion. I was like,

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.440
<v Speaker 1>what happened here? You're like, this is the perfect perfect game.

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 1>You watched Paxson go six shutout at twelve shot I counts,

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and the Yankees on the verge of losing. There's nothing else,

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Matt Modi. You can ask for amazing the window. I'm not.

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lot in general for your for your fandom. Obviously,

0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 1>um I mentioned I mentioned the Ground that the Ground

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>story was like the most met story ever and like,

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously I haven't killing them for it, but it is

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>literally the most met story ever where Jacob the Ground

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>had the flu, and the flu turned into an elbow injury,

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 1>which turned into an m R I, which turned into

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>being placed on the I R, which turned into no,

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't need an m R I. We're just gonna

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 1>have them throw a couple of days in a row,

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>which turned into maybe we should haven't get the m

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>R I, which turned into gotten. The hell knows what's

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 1>going on with Jacob the Ground? Yeah, new GM hab

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Brody van Wagen and still the same old bets. Huh.

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's just I don't I love the

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 1>flu being like a precursor to like an elbow injury.

0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 1>It's insane. It's insane. You would think with the dubious

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>medical history, they would be like ultrue conservative, how much

0:15:59.880 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of gon MR get a course? Assume Mr the guy

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>you just gave it a hundred fifty million dollars through

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 1>and is you know your h you set a piece

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>of your stamps just mr after you say he was

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.160
<v Speaker 1>a diagnosed the elbow injury. It's not like I wunna

0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>take a couple of days off. He was throwing the

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 1>next day. Have you ever heard of an elbow barking?

0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I have never heard. It's not good. Yeah, it doesn't

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 1>sound good to me either. So you know, you see

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the report that his elbow is barking on Friday, when

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 1>you wake up Saturday, and all these pictures and videos

0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>of him, you know, throwing in the offield, Like, what

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>is going on? What is the latest underground? Like what

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 1>is the story? You might pick the end of the

0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:46.960
<v Speaker 1>weeknd's returning on Sunday? What do you know? And that's

0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:49.240

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:34.200
<v Speaker 1>like I watched The Night after Night. Three up, three down,

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>three up, three down, three up, three down, three hits

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in a game. They're pathetic, Like they're a bad baseball

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.120
<v Speaker 1>team and they're always favorite It's just one of those

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 1>teams like perception versus reality. Like I think they're gonna

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:43.760
<v Speaker 1>be a faid team this year. I was gonna get

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 1>your take on that, because we want to attack certain

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.640
<v Speaker 1>teams and they've been awful like they I don't Seattle

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 1>started off well, they kind of cooled down. But as

0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 1>for the Angels third team, I'm gonna betting against lots, George,

0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:54.479
<v Speaker 1>They're not that good. Saturday and Sunday, eleven am Eastern

0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned Aaron Judge's interview Interview injury. Uh, Mike Talkman

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 1>is probably gonna play every day now. Unbelievably enough, Yank's

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna do something. I don't know that is you mentioned

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Jacob D. Graham as well, Logan Morrison, Greg Obviously that's

0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a plays Mike four. I don't know, you know,

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh god, this is such a joke. Alright. We mentioned

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.359
<v Speaker 1>Mike Siroca, that was your guy here if he was

0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:45.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't owned. Let's move on from there, and let's let's

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of get more into Cold Tucker, Frank, because you

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.119
<v Speaker 1>said you've been seventy three dollars for him in your

0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 1>main event. He wound up going for seventy seven dollars

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.359
<v Speaker 1>and Tuckerer was or is I believe the Pasburgh or

0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 1>one of their top prospects gets called up play shortstop

0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.800
<v Speaker 1>every day as their story shortstop went on the d

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.080
<v Speaker 1>L sixty d d L immediately Tucker homers in his

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 1>first game on Saturday. What do we need to know

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 1>about Cold Tucker? Who is he? What's the prospect pedigree?

0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 1>What can he become? So? Cold Tucker is the fifth

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 1>rank prospect in the Pirates organization according to MLB dot com,

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.359
<v Speaker 1>and he's an interesting player. He's a guy who has

0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of speed. Last year in Double A he

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.199
<v Speaker 1>stole five basses. A year before at Double A and

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>High A ball in he's still forty seven bases greg

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and so far this year at Triple A he was

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.360
<v Speaker 1>hitting three thirty three with three homers and five stolen basses.

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:38.680
<v Speaker 1>And he's he already hit a home run over the weekend,

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 1>and we know that the way that the ball is

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.560
<v Speaker 1>flying out this year, Greg which his juice ball, there's

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a chance that he actually sees an uptick in power

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 1>getting to the major league level. But we know that

0:20:46.520 --> 0:20:49.199
<v Speaker 1>the speed is legit. He's not a prototypical leadoff man

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 1>because he still strikes out quite a bit. He also

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:53.960
<v Speaker 1>does walk a lot, So he's an interesting guy. I think,

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, you add him or speed, and you're you're

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.440
<v Speaker 1>just hoping, you know, whatever power you get along with that.

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.200
<v Speaker 1>And if act that he's let off over the weekend, uh,

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, with all the injuries to the Pirates, now

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.880
<v Speaker 1>with UH, with Starling Marte going down, you know, you're

0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 1>you're hoping that you can get a you know, let's say,

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to fifty to sixty batting average with some speed and

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he's gonna score runs because he's gonna

0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:16.720
<v Speaker 1>be at the top of the Pirates lineup. So that's

0:21:16.760 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 1>why people were pretty aggressive with him. I should have

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>been more aggressive. It's frustrating because in the Great Fantasy

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Baseball Invitational, I had an eighty three dollar bid and

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 1>then in UH in the main event, I had seventy

0:21:28.880 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>three because I had I had a you know, like

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.119
<v Speaker 1>fifty dollars less, so I went with seventy three. And

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I go with my eighty three dollar bid,

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 1>I end up winning him. And I would have been

0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 1>pretty pumped about that. But ultimately I saw him anywhere

0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.359
<v Speaker 1>from you know, eighty two. There's some people like over

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.119
<v Speaker 1>two hundred dollars in our g s. He le he

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.159
<v Speaker 1>went for one. Um, I can't knock people. If you

0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:50.040
<v Speaker 1>need speed and you need run scored, which are Harard

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.400
<v Speaker 1>categories to come by, you gotta be aggressive with him.

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.560
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of Cold Tucker? Matt? How excited

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to you about him? What he could bring to the table.

0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm with Frank, you know you you're buying speed right now.

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.000
<v Speaker 1>It's so hard to come by. Uh. You got guys

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 1>like Trade Turner, who you know that was a top

0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.679
<v Speaker 1>half in the first round that you invested on. So

0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean I get it. Uh, And like everything else,

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I see the upside. There is downside if he does

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, if he doesn't hit, I know he let

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:21.240
<v Speaker 1>her off and hit the home run. But if he

0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 1>has you know, one of those weeks where it's just

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.399
<v Speaker 1>a bad week or two he could go back down.

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:31.240
<v Speaker 1>So I wanted to be aggressive. I just wasn't going

0:22:31.280 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 1>over a hundred dollars because, as we stated, I was

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:37.720
<v Speaker 1>aggressive on Frasier. I really wanted Sarroca, and that was

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 1>the guy I had the big bit on. I think

0:22:39.520 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I had like one, you know, fifty or something like

0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>that on him, and I didn't win that one. And

0:22:46.960 --> 0:22:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I had a fifty nine bit

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:51.320
<v Speaker 1>on Tucker in this one when I had eighty nine

0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:54.760
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine dollar bits everywhere else. That was an epic

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:58.679
<v Speaker 1>fail on me. So I'm pretty pissed on my fab

0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 1>on in this Do you in particular do you get

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:05.080
<v Speaker 1>you said that you were most aggressive on Mike Saroka?

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Were you the runner up bid in our league? For one?

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Because he ended up going for you? Were the backup?

0:23:11.160 --> 0:23:14.119
<v Speaker 1>I pretty much had Sarroka anywhere where he was available.

0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Was one nine one league. I went one thirty five

0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:19.200
<v Speaker 1>because I had to save a couple of hours in

0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:21.440
<v Speaker 1>that one. I was trying to be as tight as

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:25.280
<v Speaker 1>it possibly could. You know, it's basically almost a month in,

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 1>We're not really even a full month in, and you know,

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Fabil is going and I think sometimes you have to

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>spend on certain guys and you know, tighten up the

0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:39.439
<v Speaker 1>budget for later on. Yeah, I think I think it

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:42.240
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. Yeah, that's why I feel like I should

0:23:42.240 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 1>have been more aggressive on Cold Tucker. But you know,

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually all right in the speed department. But this overall,

0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, having a young, exciting prospect like that, you

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:51.479
<v Speaker 1>can plug him into your middle endfield and the upside

0:23:51.480 --> 0:23:53.640
<v Speaker 1>that heat possesses. I probably should have been a little

0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:55.359
<v Speaker 1>bit more aggressive. Ultimately, you know, I end up with

0:23:55.400 --> 0:23:56.919
<v Speaker 1>a few guys here that I gotta plug into my

0:23:56.960 --> 0:24:00.000
<v Speaker 1>lineup because I had Aaron Judge of my main event team,

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:01.959
<v Speaker 1>so I needed an outfielder and I had to make

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.960
<v Speaker 1>some tougher decisions this week. Um, pick up a guy

0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 1>like Tommy Lostella because he's playing and he's hitting at

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 1>home runs, which is just like crazy to talk about.

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I actually should have picked him up. Tommy Lostella. Yeah,

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean I don't I don't know what he has

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.760
<v Speaker 1>like six home runs already, right, Matt, he actually has eight.

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:18.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, the two home run game yesterday. See the

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:21.399
<v Speaker 1>thing where I'm piste off. That is what Mustaka is.

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Having the finger injury even though he's not going on

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the d L, I may need a second baseman, and

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I had Kendrick, I had David was Bote body, and

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I even had uh Tommy Lostella, and somehow, I don't

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 1>know if I moved I must have moved Lo Gloria

0:24:40.600 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 1>up or something, because they were all like sixteen dollar

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:45.400
<v Speaker 1>bids or something like that, and I got Longloria over

0:24:45.440 --> 0:24:48.360
<v Speaker 1>those guys when I probably need that guy to fill

0:24:48.400 --> 0:24:50.720
<v Speaker 1>in a second base if they do play some soccer's

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:54.400
<v Speaker 1>on the thing. So just a bad family for myself.

0:24:54.560 --> 0:24:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I actually liked the moves you made, Frank a lot.

0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:00.680
<v Speaker 1>You got Danny Santana for about like thirty five, yeah,

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 1>thirty two out of a thousand dollar budget, and there

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>was no one else was bidding on him. He was

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>he in other leagues. I saw him going for over

0:25:07.080 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 1>a hundred and stuff. So that was a good move.

0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Lostella is a good move for this week, especially with

0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the matchups and all that. And he's hot. You always

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:18.399
<v Speaker 1>want to ride the hot hand, So yeah, going with

0:25:18.400 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the greggy approach here, riding riding the way with Tommy Lostello.

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Put we've put Danny sand had a backup bids everywhere. Um,

0:25:24.080 --> 0:25:25.760
<v Speaker 1>we got him in g S T. I think I

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:27.360
<v Speaker 1>got him in both my main event and the Great

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Baseball batting second for the Rangers. He's got seven

0:25:32.200 --> 0:25:34.439
<v Speaker 1>games this week. He has three stolen bases over the

0:25:34.440 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 1>past week. It could just be a short term thing,

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:39.440
<v Speaker 1>but once renetto Door returns. But you know, I didn't

0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>break the bank for him. You know, I spent about

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:44.679
<v Speaker 1>three percent of my budget. So I just wanted some

0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 1>stolen bases, and I need a I needed an outfold.

0:25:47.000 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>They were plug in with Aaron Judge going down, as

0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:51.760
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned, So you know, I that's that's the route

0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:54.159
<v Speaker 1>I went down. I was. I was pretty aggressive on

0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 1>him this weekend. Say, you had an excellent fab weekend

0:25:58.000 --> 0:25:59.879
<v Speaker 1>in this league and I had a terrible one. You

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>really have south or something I've never seen, like how

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>we Kedrick I should at least had on his team. Uh,

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:08.919
<v Speaker 1>he's playing three games at course field or even like

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:12.200
<v Speaker 1>David Bote who's got nine games at second base, already's

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 1>third base eligible. And I think he's gonna play a

0:26:14.640 --> 0:26:16.720
<v Speaker 1>lot for this Cup team going forward. And they gave

0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:19.600
<v Speaker 1>him some money. They like him, and I think he's

0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:22.800
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good hitter Modica. Were you surprised that, unless

0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm missing something here, Michael Javis was not picked up

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 1>in our main event league. Yeah, I was surprised because

0:26:29.040 --> 0:26:30.960
<v Speaker 1>in a couple of my big leagues, my you know,

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:36.320
<v Speaker 1>uh high stage ones, he went for over two hundred dollars,

0:26:36.680 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 1>which was even three hundred and one of them, let's uh,

0:26:42.840 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 1>let's kill the music, Pamona, we would bring in ten

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:49.560
<v Speaker 1>minutes from that body, you know. Strange, but I was

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:54.919
<v Speaker 1>like that to change sor I don't know, like, come on,

0:26:55.320 --> 0:26:57.360
<v Speaker 1>we want to hear him, Matt talking about here. Yeah,

0:26:57.359 --> 0:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying. I'm trying to hear more about this. Yeah,

0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:01.440
<v Speaker 1>regarding Michaels, so, Chavis was one of the ones that

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:03.920
<v Speaker 1>was kind of referencing earlier on in the show that

0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:06.879
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to pick him up, but well, hey, I

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:08.439
<v Speaker 1>have a ton of injuries on this main events heave,

0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:10.399
<v Speaker 1>so I couldn't afford to stash him. And uh, I

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 1>actually like some of the guys that I'm already stashing,

0:27:12.800 --> 0:27:14.920
<v Speaker 1>like I have Jimmy Nelson and Otani waiting to come back,

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 1>So I didn't want to drop any of those guys.

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Javis was one of the hardest guys for me to

0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:20.720
<v Speaker 1>figure out, because he's the top hitting prospect in the

0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox organization, but I don't know if he's gonna

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.159
<v Speaker 1>play every day, Like is he going to be ample

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:29.119
<v Speaker 1>enough defensively to play second base. He's more of like

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a first third baseman. So they're going down this Mustakis

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Ryan mcmon route with Javis, where I guess they're gonna

0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:38.000
<v Speaker 1>try and play him at second base, But I just

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:40.440
<v Speaker 1>a don't know if he's going to play enough here

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to make a difference. How long is he gonna be up?

0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:44.639
<v Speaker 1>So you know, Chavis for me was one of the

0:27:44.680 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 1>hardest guys to figure out. I did pick him up

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:49.840
<v Speaker 1>in a few locations, but it was very It's always

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:53.440
<v Speaker 1>interesting to see Greg from league to league how much

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 1>he could go for it and then how little because

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:56.400
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't even get picked up in our main event.

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:58.600
<v Speaker 1>And then you were just talking about leagues where he

0:27:58.640 --> 0:28:01.360
<v Speaker 1>went for over two hundred dollars, Matt, So ultimately, where

0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:04.679
<v Speaker 1>do you stand on Savis? Well, the one thing that

0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I found to be concerned was when he was activated,

0:28:09.040 --> 0:28:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and when he was called up, he spent the first

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 1>two days on the bench, and then finally got to

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:16.719
<v Speaker 1>start yesterday, So I'm with you. I don't know if

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:18.879
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna start every day, and he could easily be

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:22.119
<v Speaker 1>backed down in a week or two. I was willing

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:24.359
<v Speaker 1>in most of my league's and I said, this is

0:28:24.560 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>another indication why I felt so miserably in this fan one.

0:28:27.520 --> 0:28:29.679
<v Speaker 1>It's a probably a case of just having too many leagues.

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 1>But uh, what you know, for twenty dollars thirty five dollars, yeah,

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm I'm in on that. I'll take that shot.

0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 1>But two hundred dollars, I'm a guy that. I mean,

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I could see it for Cold Tucker because of the

0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 1>speed up side. You guys watch stolen forty four bases

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:50.000
<v Speaker 1>in forty six bases. I don't care that he hasn't

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 1>played over he only played a few games of a

0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 1>double A. He's he has that track record, at least

0:28:54.400 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>in the miners. So I you know, it is bewildering

0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and interesting. So we'll see that what goes for next

0:29:02.400 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 1>weekend in our league if he's still on the league. Yeah,

0:29:05.520 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and especially if he has a big week. I mean,

0:29:07.280 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>this is what we talk about being a week early rest,

0:29:10.200 --> 0:29:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, being week earlier rather than a

0:29:12.040 --> 0:29:15.160
<v Speaker 1>week late, Greg, But it's just the circumstances. In an

0:29:15.240 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 1>NFBC league, you don't have an I L spot, so

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I have, I have Daniel Murphy, I have Aaron Judged

0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:21.520
<v Speaker 1>now on on the I L. And you just have

0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 1>seven bench spots, so you have to uh, you know,

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:26.200
<v Speaker 1>you fill out your bench the way that you want

0:29:26.200 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>to do it. But if you have a lot of

0:29:27.040 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>guys that are on the I L. You know, I'm

0:29:28.840 --> 0:29:31.320
<v Speaker 1>waiting for Otani to come back. You know, some people

0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 1>might have cut baid on him, but he's expected to

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 1>return in May, so I'm gonna hold on to him.

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Nelson, I still have a lot of you know,

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>faith in him, assuming that he comes back. You know,

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>I've seen some video of him, uh playing in the

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 1>minor leagues and looks like he's performing well. So I

0:29:46.480 --> 0:29:48.080
<v Speaker 1>have a few guys that am already stasking. I just

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 1>couldn't afford to take on another player to stash in Shavis.

0:29:52.120 --> 0:29:56.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I understand maybe a five six percent bid,

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.440
<v Speaker 1>but anyone over a hundred two hundred dollars, I think

0:29:59.480 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 1>this is just people getting too excited about prospect pedigree here. Greg, Yeah,

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, I get that, and we're always excited about

0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:10.680
<v Speaker 1>prospect pedigree. But I remember when I read you the

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 1>note he was on Friday that he was getting called

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 1>up your problems, that you were really excited about it.

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 1>But like Matt said, thinks you start to the first

0:30:18.360 --> 0:30:20.840
<v Speaker 1>two games that he's on the roster, so it's you know, what,

0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:22.760
<v Speaker 1>what are the what is the Red Sox actual plans

0:30:22.760 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 1>for him? Why do they call him up and then

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 1>not play him? And it's kind of a different situation

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:29.600
<v Speaker 1>because again, he's a corner and fielder. He could play third,

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:31.360
<v Speaker 1>he could play first, and now they're trying to force

0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 1>him to play second, which he did a little bit

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:35.920
<v Speaker 1>in the minor leagues this year. But he's not natural

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:38.280
<v Speaker 1>second basement. So look, if they want to just put

0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the best offense on the field that they possibly can,

0:30:40.600 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 1>then sure he'll play. Because you know, he does have upside.

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to downplay that. I mean two years

0:30:45.960 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>ago he had thirty one home runs with a two

0:30:48.040 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 1>eighty two batting average between high A ball and double A.

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I think he has potentially, but I think he has upside.

0:30:57.360 --> 0:30:59.320
<v Speaker 1>But the thing is, I really do have concerns about

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:00.960
<v Speaker 1>whether or not he's gonna play. If he plays a

0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 1>lot this week and he's gonna go for a lot

0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 1>of money in our main event league next week, I

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 1>think that it's worth picking up. It's worth not breaking

0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 1>the bank for. I'm not spending the two hundred bucks

0:31:12.560 --> 0:31:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that that we just heard about, I'm spending. I would

0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:17.280
<v Speaker 1>have spent it for him that was interested in him.

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:19.320
<v Speaker 1>If you have someone who's just on your bench, if

0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>not playing or doesn't have upside, then sure take a

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 1>shot on one of these. You know, a lot of

0:31:22.840 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 1>prospects got called up this weekend very randomly to Cold Tucker.

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Michael Chavis gets called Tyro Estrada, And now I don't

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 1>think tyro Strada's gonna play very much for the Yankees.

0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>But Brian Reynolds another one that we can get into

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't have the biggest prospect pedigrees. And you know,

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:39.000
<v Speaker 1>he's not one of these, uh one of these higher

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 1>known names that people are talking about, but he is

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:44.120
<v Speaker 1>still a top ten prospect in the Pirates organization um.

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:47.040
<v Speaker 1>And it seems like, at least until Gregory Polanco is back,

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Brian Reynolds is gonna play every day.

0:31:49.560 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 1>And I don't really think that the Pirates owe anything

0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:54.600
<v Speaker 1>to Monkey Cabrera. So if Brian Reynolds performs well, he

0:31:54.640 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>had three hits yesterday, he could play every single day

0:31:57.440 --> 0:31:59.880
<v Speaker 1>for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He brought up Bryan Reynolds last night.

0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know anything about Brian Reynolds. I all I

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>knew that Plato does seem to be coming back very

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>very soon. Who is he? Why should we know about him? Alright? So,

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Brian Reynolds the top ten prospect in the Pirates organization.

0:32:10.800 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I believe he's number eight on MLB dot Com. Uh.

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:15.920
<v Speaker 1>He's hit three twelve in the minor leagues. He's a

0:32:15.960 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 1>very high batting average. Uh, it kind of seems like

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 1>he might be empty batting average. You're hoping that maybe

0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:22.840
<v Speaker 1>some of the power comes with the juice ball here

0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:25.040
<v Speaker 1>at the major league level. He had five home runs

0:32:25.040 --> 0:32:26.920
<v Speaker 1>in the minors this year. At Triple A. He was

0:32:26.960 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 1>hitting three sixty seven, again three twelve career batting average

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:32.920
<v Speaker 1>in the minors, but has never hit more than ten

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:35.280
<v Speaker 1>home runs in the minors either. So he might just

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 1>be an empty batting average guy. But I'm willing to

0:32:37.720 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 1>learn and see if he developed more power with this

0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>juice ball here at the major league level. So I

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:45.040
<v Speaker 1>think I had a few, you know, three percent bids

0:32:45.040 --> 0:32:47.920
<v Speaker 1>on him. I got him, uh in the Great Fantasy

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 1>Baseball Invitational. I believe we had a bid in g SC.

0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't think we got him, though, Matt,

0:32:52.880 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>were you interested in Brian Reynolds at all? Did you

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:56.840
<v Speaker 1>have any bids on him? I didn't get him, but

0:32:56.880 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll give a camp like the week before I picked

0:33:01.120 --> 0:33:04.520
<v Speaker 1>up Bustin Dean, figuring that it's gonna be a long

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 1>term and getting everyday bats. He had a four or

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:09.800
<v Speaker 1>four game that first weekend and then he like struck

0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>out every other bat, so he got sent back down,

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:15.600
<v Speaker 1>which I don't understand what the malls you're doing with that.

0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, everybody, you got guys like grand your Sin

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:22.560
<v Speaker 1>and Neil Walker. Let these young kids play. But you know,

0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:28.040
<v Speaker 1>for for like you're saying, and one percent, just to

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.000
<v Speaker 1>take a flyer if he has a good week, yeah

0:33:31.080 --> 0:33:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it's great. If not, you you cut bait and you

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you move on to the next guy. Yeah, sure, for

0:33:38.040 --> 0:33:42.000
<v Speaker 1>for three percent, like whatever, it ultimately doesn't matter. I

0:33:42.080 --> 0:33:44.480
<v Speaker 1>just I'd rather take a shot on there. Frank and

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:46.080
<v Speaker 1>you gave us some names last night as we were

0:33:46.120 --> 0:33:48.680
<v Speaker 1>going through waivers, like Dexter Fowler and Carlos Gonzalez like

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:51.160
<v Speaker 1>another thing Seanan Brian Reynolds for what he could be

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:54.600
<v Speaker 1>long term, then those guys probably it's the unknown. It's

0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the upside of a prospect, a young kid coming up.

0:33:56.880 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Whereas you know, we kind of know who Dexter Fowler

0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:01.040
<v Speaker 1>is at this point. Carlos can Zallas is. You know,

0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:03.000
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't signed all the way up until basically the

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:04.960
<v Speaker 1>start of the season. Then he gets a minor league

0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 1>deal with the Indians. And I haven't really done much

0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:09.959
<v Speaker 1>yet either. But you know Dexter Fowler, you know, while

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have power and doesn't steel like he used

0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to get like four hundred the past week, and it's

0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:17.839
<v Speaker 1>cheap exposure to the Cardinals lineup. So I did pick

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 1>up a few shares of Dexter Fowler. I don't have

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 1>huge expectations, Greg, but I think in a deeper league,

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 1>given the injuries to the St. Louis Cardinals, at least

0:34:25.520 --> 0:34:27.239
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna play every day. So that's what I'm looking

0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:30.120
<v Speaker 1>at regarding Dexter Fowler. I get it. You need any

0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:33.719
<v Speaker 1>injuries there for you, matt On Dexter Fowler. Oh, he's

0:34:33.760 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>the guy that if if I had, you know, if

0:34:36.040 --> 0:34:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I need if if I was just cutting somebody to

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:40.839
<v Speaker 1>cut and I need to pick somebody up, I had

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:43.040
<v Speaker 1>him was like a seventh conditional bid in a couple

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:45.319
<v Speaker 1>of box or something like that. And I think that

0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:49.279
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. I think that seventh conditional it's about right, uh,

0:34:49.360 --> 0:34:52.160
<v Speaker 1>for a guy like Dexter Fowler. Um, after the break,

0:34:52.160 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to go get into the relievers um for

0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:57.080
<v Speaker 1>this week, and I think I want kind of just

0:34:57.200 --> 0:35:00.839
<v Speaker 1>hold to do that. UM. Some od our names though

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.920
<v Speaker 1>they got picked up, and I want to bring up

0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:06.239
<v Speaker 1>now it's Jaredikough And we talked a little bit about

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:09.000
<v Speaker 1>him last week. But Jared I cough get some of

0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the rotation as Nick Povetto was sent down, pitched in

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Colorado and then next week, I believe, faces off against

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:18.520
<v Speaker 1>the Marlins and his only start. How interested are you

0:35:18.560 --> 0:35:21.759
<v Speaker 1>met in Jared I cough. I's been a guy I've

0:35:21.800 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 1>always liked. I would be interested. I'm still like, you know,

0:35:27.960 --> 0:35:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the way Pavetta started, he deserved to be demoted. I

0:35:31.400 --> 0:35:33.360
<v Speaker 1>think that was best for him. And you know he

0:35:33.400 --> 0:35:36.040
<v Speaker 1>can figure it out. But yeah, I think, uh, I

0:35:36.120 --> 0:35:37.719
<v Speaker 1>co ups the guy to be interested. He's on a

0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:41.560
<v Speaker 1>good team. Uh. The start yesterday was going well. I know,

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:43.560
<v Speaker 1>he started walking people and I think at the bottom

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:45.680
<v Speaker 1>of the sixth inning, I was actually listening to it

0:35:45.760 --> 0:35:49.120
<v Speaker 1>on the radio. I was driving into Manhattan, and you

0:35:49.160 --> 0:35:51.400
<v Speaker 1>know by that he should get some wins. You know,

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:53.360
<v Speaker 1>a good team. I think he's a good picture. I

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:55.640
<v Speaker 1>think he's great. I think he's a good picture. So

0:35:55.840 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I think you should have interested him. Yeah, Greg, I

0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:02.480
<v Speaker 1>highlighted up five single start pitchers this week that have

0:36:02.600 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 1>really good matchups on my Patreon and I have them

0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:07.080
<v Speaker 1>on the runnow so we can get into these guys

0:36:07.239 --> 0:36:09.160
<v Speaker 1>at some point to see him now. Yeah, but yeah,

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:11.320
<v Speaker 1>jaredia cough was one of them because he faces Miami.

0:36:11.400 --> 0:36:14.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, anytime I could get starting pitcher going up

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:16.239
<v Speaker 1>against the Marlins, it is in Citizens Bank Park, so

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:17.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not as good of a start as if it

0:36:17.680 --> 0:36:20.319
<v Speaker 1>were coming in Marlins Park. But he is one of

0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 1>these single start pitchers that I do like to speak with.

0:36:22.560 --> 0:36:25.520
<v Speaker 1>A good matchup, Gregg. Okay, Jared jaredia CoV obviously gives

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:29.279
<v Speaker 1>the Marlins something. You want to consider targeting and one

0:36:29.320 --> 0:36:31.360
<v Speaker 1>of the five pitchers that could be out there that

0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Frank really likes. I think one star pitcher this week,

0:36:34.000 --> 0:36:36.759
<v Speaker 1>we'll take a break. When we come back, we'll give

<v Speaker 1>celebrate Earth Day? I'm going to the Mets game tonight,

0:39:13.120 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Holly this afternoon. My wife scored some good uh some

0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:22.720
<v Speaker 1>good seats yesterday, so I'm excited. Hopefully Steve Matt doesn't

0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:24.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff for the same fate last time he faced the

0:39:24.440 --> 0:39:28.879
<v Speaker 1>philip That is, I was supposed to be driving down

0:39:28.920 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to Philadelphia for that game with my partner, Andy Shaxton,

0:39:33.960 --> 0:39:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and I was so happy. Something came up and he

0:39:36.640 --> 0:39:39.200
<v Speaker 1>asked if we could, you know, do it next time around,

0:39:39.600 --> 0:39:42.520
<v Speaker 1>And thankfully I got the only listen to that on

0:39:42.560 --> 0:39:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the radio and not watch it. Yes, thankfully. Well you

0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:49.600
<v Speaker 1>might get it tonight, gonna We're gonna find out, mad Mill,

0:39:49.680 --> 0:39:52.160
<v Speaker 1>But you know, solid matts up tonight. You know, Jake

0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:54.919
<v Speaker 1>Arietta sweing Shrike Ray going down every single year. Greg,

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's keep getting it done. I know, I hear you

0:39:59.560 --> 0:40:02.640
<v Speaker 1>is pitch tonight. I guess I I I yes, I'm listening.

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I understand. I'm just I actually recommended Arietta this week,

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:11.239
<v Speaker 1>and it was, you know, against all my beliefs, but

0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:14.479
<v Speaker 1>I shaid, going forward, you really, you know, the Frank

0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:18.360
<v Speaker 1>said that the swinging stripe percentage is just abysmal. What

0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:20.759
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't think you could get any worse than last year.

0:40:20.960 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>But this year I'm taking six and the X fit

0:40:23.960 --> 0:40:27.800
<v Speaker 1>is just you know, screaming at you be be afraid,

0:40:27.920 --> 0:40:31.960
<v Speaker 1>be very afraid. So you know, so you're selling Jake Arietta.

0:40:34.160 --> 0:40:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Look in at Team League. You know you're gonna roll

0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:39.799
<v Speaker 1>them out there and stuff. But I'm just saying, you know,

0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 1>if it turns bad, I don't I don't think anybody's

0:40:42.800 --> 0:40:45.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna be surprised by that. There's just a lot of

0:40:45.320 --> 0:40:48.080
<v Speaker 1>indicators saying, you know, I don't know if you can

0:40:48.120 --> 0:40:50.920
<v Speaker 1>continue to succeed. All right, So Jake Arietta be very

0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:54.319
<v Speaker 1>very nervous about him. Let's get in, gentlemen, to the

0:40:54.440 --> 0:40:57.239
<v Speaker 1>relievers from this week, who you spent money on, who

0:40:57.239 --> 0:40:59.400
<v Speaker 1>you stayed away from. I want to start in Seattle,

0:40:59.400 --> 0:41:01.840
<v Speaker 1>because Frank, we own Anthony Swarzak, he's one of your guys.

0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 1>And do you think of what two savors last week?

0:41:06.280 --> 0:41:08.120
<v Speaker 1>The two staves last week? I know Seattle wanted a

0:41:08.120 --> 0:41:10.800
<v Speaker 1>bit of a losing streak after that um, but it

0:41:10.920 --> 0:41:14.000
<v Speaker 1>certainly seems like Scott Service feels very very comfortable with

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Ruenna's Elias in the ninth inning as well. How much

0:41:18.320 --> 0:41:20.480
<v Speaker 1>would you have spent on Alias, Frank and what do

0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:22.400
<v Speaker 1>you think these prospects are to be the closer at

0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:25.280
<v Speaker 1>least for the near term. Look, if you were desperate

0:41:25.280 --> 0:41:27.640
<v Speaker 1>fourth saves in a deeper league, I could see going

0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:29.640
<v Speaker 1>as high as like six seven per cent. But I

0:41:29.680 --> 0:41:31.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think that Alias is going to be the guy

0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:33.719
<v Speaker 1>that gets the bulk of the saves. Now, I could

0:41:33.760 --> 0:41:35.279
<v Speaker 1>be wrong about that. I still have a lot of

0:41:35.280 --> 0:41:39.560
<v Speaker 1>shares of Swarzak. My thing regarding the Mariners bullpen is

0:41:40.320 --> 0:41:42.520
<v Speaker 1>there hasn't really been a rhyme of reason to the

0:41:42.680 --> 0:41:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to the way that you know these guys have been deployed.

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I know, you know Swarzak has pitched in some tough

0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>spots and like the eighth enning of games and Alias

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:52.120
<v Speaker 1>picked up two saves last week, and then sward Zak

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:54.440
<v Speaker 1>bounces back on Saturday and ends up picking up the

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:58.760
<v Speaker 1>save there, So, um, you know it could be just approach,

0:41:58.880 --> 0:42:01.280
<v Speaker 1>or you know they'll they'll Swarzak in the tougher spots

0:42:01.320 --> 0:42:03.319
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the game, and then you know they'll use

0:42:03.760 --> 0:42:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Rowanius Alias in the knife. But you know, I saw

0:42:06.840 --> 0:42:09.520
<v Speaker 1>leagues where people were pretty aggressive picking up a lie

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:12.120
<v Speaker 1>because everyone's trying to find saves. And he goes for

0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:15.759
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven dollars in my great Fantasy based momentational and

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:17.640
<v Speaker 1>then in our main event league that me and Matter

0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:19.719
<v Speaker 1>in together, he goes for a hundred and sixty three

0:42:19.719 --> 0:42:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and the runner up bid was thirty eight. So I'm

0:42:22.480 --> 0:42:25.640
<v Speaker 1>probably closer to that thirty eight than I am the

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 1>one sixty three, But I was I didn't really need saves,

0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:30.240
<v Speaker 1>so I wasn't really in on the bidding for Alias,

0:42:30.560 --> 0:42:32.120
<v Speaker 1>but I you know, if you needed it, I could

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:34.200
<v Speaker 1>see going in times like six seven mat. This is

0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:37.560
<v Speaker 1>one of those closers that you seem to want to

0:42:37.600 --> 0:42:39.840
<v Speaker 1>avoid when it comes to it to fantasy baseball that

0:42:40.000 --> 0:42:43.319
<v Speaker 1>just like seems like a fab drainer where you're gonna

0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:45.480
<v Speaker 1>spend some money, get this guy. He'll save a game.

0:42:45.560 --> 0:42:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Or to lose his job and then that'll be it. Yeah,

0:42:49.239 --> 0:42:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm with Frankie. I would you know, maybe six to

0:42:51.920 --> 0:42:55.920
<v Speaker 1>seven percent. I think you'll get some more saves. I

0:42:55.960 --> 0:42:57.719
<v Speaker 1>think the thing here, I think it's kind of like

0:42:57.760 --> 0:43:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the Boston bullpen. Whish war Zack is the Matt Barnes

0:43:02.239 --> 0:43:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and Brazier right now is the Romans Alias. So you know,

0:43:07.160 --> 0:43:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I think Schwarzak's a better overall picture, though I do

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:13.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of I am warming up to Alias this season

0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:16.320
<v Speaker 1>in this role. He seems to be getting somewhere better.

0:43:17.200 --> 0:43:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh he doesn't, you know, he's I don't think he

0:43:19.120 --> 0:43:21.560
<v Speaker 1>really was having a start of material and stuff like that.

0:43:21.960 --> 0:43:24.840
<v Speaker 1>And right now Seattle, you know when when they started

0:43:24.840 --> 0:43:27.839
<v Speaker 1>twelve and two and you know, we're having a bad

0:43:27.840 --> 0:43:30.600
<v Speaker 1>week until they h we're having a bad stretch until

0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:33.520
<v Speaker 1>they ran into the Angels, who we just got awful. Yeah,

0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:35.920
<v Speaker 1>they had lost six in a row between the Astros

0:43:35.920 --> 0:43:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and the Indians, and then they're right, they run into

0:43:38.600 --> 0:43:40.319
<v Speaker 1>the Angels. They end up winning three out of four.

0:43:40.719 --> 0:43:43.479
<v Speaker 1>All three of those wins ended up being close games

0:43:43.480 --> 0:43:46.120
<v Speaker 1>that they needed to save. So you know, Swarzak picked

0:43:46.160 --> 0:43:49.640
<v Speaker 1>up the win on Thursday, which but he came in

0:43:49.640 --> 0:43:51.600
<v Speaker 1>in the eighth, I think he gave up a run

0:43:51.640 --> 0:43:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and it was a tie game, and they took the

0:43:53.000 --> 0:43:55.799
<v Speaker 1>lead in the ninth and then Ryno's alias picked up

0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:58.160
<v Speaker 1>the save. So yeah, three close games and you know

0:43:58.280 --> 0:44:00.719
<v Speaker 1>it was two out of three. Maybe that closer to

0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.640
<v Speaker 1>what we see moving forward. Uh, Like it's a sixty

0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:07.600
<v Speaker 1>percent Alias fort swarzag Uh. You know, I think the

0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:09.600
<v Speaker 1>way that Matt broke it down, kind of comparing it

0:44:09.680 --> 0:44:13.759
<v Speaker 1>to the Red Sox bullpen um, it's fair. Although you

0:44:13.800 --> 0:44:16.000
<v Speaker 1>know there's no there hasn't really been rhyme for reasons.

0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:18.600
<v Speaker 1>So I guess we'll just you know, cross our fingers

0:44:18.600 --> 0:44:20.719
<v Speaker 1>moving forward and and hoping that we get saved from

0:44:20.719 --> 0:44:23.480
<v Speaker 1>both of them. Greg, Yeah, absolutely, And you just kind

0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:26.480
<v Speaker 1>of hope that things are going in your direction. That's

0:44:26.520 --> 0:44:29.279
<v Speaker 1>always how you feel with Philadelphia, Frank, and I know

0:44:29.320 --> 0:44:33.239
<v Speaker 1>how strongly you feel about Gabe Kapler and the situation

0:44:33.280 --> 0:44:36.040
<v Speaker 1>in that bullpen where strengthing Domingian has continues to not

0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:39.600
<v Speaker 1>really see Knight receive a ninth inning chances, and they've

0:44:39.640 --> 0:44:42.279
<v Speaker 1>mostly gone to Hector Neiris, who certainly seems to be

0:44:42.320 --> 0:44:45.239
<v Speaker 1>the favorable option right now for gave Kavler in that

0:44:45.360 --> 0:44:49.880
<v Speaker 1>ninth inning. How much do you trust Hector Neius? Not much, Greg,

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:51.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's not Hector Neis, it's how much do you

0:44:51.960 --> 0:44:56.120
<v Speaker 1>trust Gabe Kapler? And it's Gabe Kapler is gonna do

0:44:56.160 --> 0:44:59.160
<v Speaker 1>what Gabe Kapler wants to do. And you know, if, uh,

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:02.080
<v Speaker 1>if analytics say that to go to Hector Nearis in

0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:03.879
<v Speaker 1>the ninth inning, or if he asked use Hector Narius

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:05.399
<v Speaker 1>in a different spot in a game. We've already seen

0:45:05.440 --> 0:45:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that multiple times this year where he was used earlier

0:45:07.800 --> 0:45:09.359
<v Speaker 1>in the game, and you know, then he picked him

0:45:09.360 --> 0:45:11.160
<v Speaker 1>a save early on, and oh, we thought Hector Nerris

0:45:11.239 --> 0:45:13.319
<v Speaker 1>is the guy, and then what happens He's pitching, you know,

0:45:13.400 --> 0:45:15.239
<v Speaker 1>in the seventh, eighth inning or whatever it might be,

0:45:15.280 --> 0:45:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you know they go with someone else in

0:45:17.040 --> 0:45:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the ninth. So, look, this is what the Phillies are

0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:21.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna be for now, Yes, it looks like it's gonna

0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:24.120
<v Speaker 1>be Hector Narris. He's converted his past two save opportunities

0:45:24.120 --> 0:45:25.799
<v Speaker 1>in a row. And then, you know, I've said this

0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:28.759
<v Speaker 1>regardless of of sport, whether it's football or baseball, if

0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:32.319
<v Speaker 1>you're giving an opportunity and you succeed in that opportunity,

0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:35.200
<v Speaker 1>then you should be given more of the same opportunities.

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:37.239
<v Speaker 1>So that's kind of how I feel about Narras for now.

0:45:37.320 --> 0:45:39.080
<v Speaker 1>But would it surprised me, you know, this time next

0:45:39.120 --> 0:45:41.520
<v Speaker 1>week if we're talking about the Phillies with three save

0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:43.520
<v Speaker 1>opportunities this week and it went to three different guys. No,

0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:46.160
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't surprise me one bit. Yeah, not, no question at all.

0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:48.360
<v Speaker 1>All we can tell you is that Nearis seems to

0:45:48.360 --> 0:45:50.960
<v Speaker 1>be pitching the best out of these guys at the moment,

0:45:51.000 --> 0:45:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and of course a moment can change on a dime.

0:45:54.080 --> 0:45:57.879
<v Speaker 1>How confident matter you and Hector Nerris, I mean, for now,

0:45:57.960 --> 0:46:00.359
<v Speaker 1>I was really hoping he'd blow that shave up chat

0:46:00.920 --> 0:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>after the Universe the Mets. He threw that fastball right

0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:07.240
<v Speaker 1>down the middle to Broxton and he swung and missed

0:46:07.719 --> 0:46:10.239
<v Speaker 1>to end the game. But you know, he's converted the

0:46:10.640 --> 0:46:13.600
<v Speaker 1>two for two now on these last couple of opportunities.

0:46:13.960 --> 0:46:16.120
<v Speaker 1>And it's frank point that I really don't seem to

0:46:16.200 --> 0:46:20.120
<v Speaker 1>want to give so anythingy a opportunity right now. And

0:46:20.360 --> 0:46:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I had to drop him in any leagues, I still

0:46:23.320 --> 0:46:27.719
<v Speaker 1>owned him. But one thing I would say, keep an

0:46:27.719 --> 0:46:32.120
<v Speaker 1>eye on if Robertson comes back and coming off this

0:46:32.640 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 1>elbow injury, whatever it was, doesn't seem anything serious. Seems

0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:40.839
<v Speaker 1>like he could be back relatively soon. Maybe now they

0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:43.080
<v Speaker 1>only want to use him for one inning and not

0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:46.040
<v Speaker 1>like a multiple kind of thing, so he may get

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:50.279
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity upon return, you know, if everything works out

0:46:50.280 --> 0:46:53.400
<v Speaker 1>where he's healthy and get be be given a chance

0:46:53.440 --> 0:46:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to close. Yeah, it's it's a really good point when

0:46:56.520 --> 0:46:58.560
<v Speaker 1>it comes to David Robertson, how quickly he can get

0:46:58.560 --> 0:47:01.920
<v Speaker 1>back and unfil he limited anyway due to this injury.

0:47:01.960 --> 0:47:03.879
<v Speaker 1>They'll just take it a little bit easier on him.

0:47:04.040 --> 0:47:06.400
<v Speaker 1>It's a very very good point of David Robertson was

0:47:06.480 --> 0:47:09.120
<v Speaker 1>dropped anywhere. You know, maybe this is your opportunity to

0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:12.239
<v Speaker 1>take a step. Yeah. I guess in twelve team leagues

0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:14.680
<v Speaker 1>he might have been dropped fifteen teamers. Again, it depends

0:47:14.680 --> 0:47:16.319
<v Speaker 1>how many injuries you have, how many guys you can

0:47:16.360 --> 0:47:19.440
<v Speaker 1>hold onto at even time. But yeah, it's a good

0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:23.759
<v Speaker 1>point regarding David Robertson. And you know, when they signed him,

0:47:23.920 --> 0:47:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I just wonder in their minds, what was the thought

0:47:26.880 --> 0:47:29.120
<v Speaker 1>process like when they originally signed him, did they think

0:47:29.120 --> 0:47:30.600
<v Speaker 1>he was going to be the closer. Did they think

0:47:30.640 --> 0:47:32.920
<v Speaker 1>it was just gonna be you know, fifty him and

0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Domingez or it was just just like the thought process

0:47:35.960 --> 0:47:38.399
<v Speaker 1>all along, it was just Scape Capital is gonna all right, Well,

0:47:38.560 --> 0:47:40.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'll mix it up. I'll do whoever has

0:47:40.880 --> 0:47:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the best matchups against these guys in the past. In

0:47:43.440 --> 0:47:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the sending, I just wonder, like what the Phillies mindset

0:47:46.680 --> 0:47:48.920
<v Speaker 1>was coming into this, because you know, we know that

0:47:48.960 --> 0:47:52.279
<v Speaker 1>they had interest in Craig Kimberll too, and you know,

0:47:52.360 --> 0:47:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Craig Kimberll was not signing with the Phillies unless he

0:47:54.719 --> 0:47:56.719
<v Speaker 1>was told he was going to be the closer like

0:47:56.800 --> 0:47:58.319
<v Speaker 1>he was, he was not gonna go there and be

0:47:58.360 --> 0:47:59.840
<v Speaker 1>part of some all right, I'm gonna pitch in the

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:02.919
<v Speaker 1>him any kind of thing. Wherever Craig Kimberll goes, he's

0:48:02.920 --> 0:48:04.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be the closer. I wonder if that is

0:48:04.920 --> 0:48:07.840
<v Speaker 1>part of the reason he didn't end up with the Phillies. Potentially. Potentially,

0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:10.799
<v Speaker 1>So we keep hearing Kimberll mentioned with Atlanta, and yet

0:48:10.800 --> 0:48:13.520
<v Speaker 1>everyday passes in Atlanta has not made a decision and

0:48:13.600 --> 0:48:16.280
<v Speaker 1>sticking with a J Minter for now as they're closer

0:48:16.360 --> 0:48:19.879
<v Speaker 1>despite their relief issues. So that's kind of the deal

0:48:20.200 --> 0:48:24.360
<v Speaker 1>with the Phillies and the Atlanta Braves in it. Miami,

0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Sergio Romo seems to be the guy right now, Frank

0:48:28.239 --> 0:48:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and disputing that. No, you're right right now is the

0:48:32.480 --> 0:48:35.600
<v Speaker 1>is the main phrase there because you know, we've seen

0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:38.320
<v Speaker 1>Sergio Romo for a while now, and you know barely

0:48:38.360 --> 0:48:40.840
<v Speaker 1>touches ninety miles per hour and it uses a slider

0:48:40.840 --> 0:48:43.359
<v Speaker 1>a ton and you know it gets killed by left

0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:45.920
<v Speaker 1>handed hitters, but he do. He does have two saves

0:48:45.920 --> 0:48:47.600
<v Speaker 1>on the year. I know everyone's kind of been flocking

0:48:47.640 --> 0:48:50.600
<v Speaker 1>towards Nick Anderson as the guy there because he has

0:48:50.640 --> 0:48:53.319
<v Speaker 1>like crazy strike out to walk crazy to start the year.

0:48:53.360 --> 0:48:56.920
<v Speaker 1>He's striking everyone out, so they're looking at Nick Anderson

0:48:56.960 --> 0:48:58.799
<v Speaker 1>as potentially the next guy up. Is something were to

0:48:58.800 --> 0:49:01.520
<v Speaker 1>happen to Romo, but threw steckand Rider has been terrible.

0:49:02.000 --> 0:49:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Adam Connelly has been used, you know, in in certain matchups.

0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Teyron Guerrero was actually the one that I was looking

0:49:07.600 --> 0:49:09.919
<v Speaker 1>at before the season, great because it was a big duty.

0:49:09.920 --> 0:49:11.759
<v Speaker 1>He throws like over a hundred miles per hour, but

0:49:11.800 --> 0:49:14.440
<v Speaker 1>struggles with command. He's kind of like your standard throws

0:49:14.520 --> 0:49:17.439
<v Speaker 1>really hard, gets a lot of strikeouts, but it doesn't

0:49:17.480 --> 0:49:18.960
<v Speaker 1>know where the ball is going half the time. So

0:49:19.040 --> 0:49:20.879
<v Speaker 1>he was the name that I was looking at coming

0:49:20.880 --> 0:49:23.080
<v Speaker 1>into a year as a dark horse. But it does

0:49:23.120 --> 0:49:25.480
<v Speaker 1>seem like it's Sergio Romo's job for now. If he

0:49:25.520 --> 0:49:27.640
<v Speaker 1>performs well, did they end up trading him? There are

0:49:27.680 --> 0:49:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the Marlins, after all, they're not competing for this season.

0:49:30.239 --> 0:49:34.120
<v Speaker 1>And at that point, is Nick Anderson the next man up? Uh?

0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:36.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, I would think it's it's probably him if

0:49:36.719 --> 0:49:38.279
<v Speaker 1>something were to happen in real more if they trade him.

0:49:38.280 --> 0:49:39.960
<v Speaker 1>And then you brought up Nick Anderson because man, I

0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:42.160
<v Speaker 1>saw you tweeting quite a bit about Nick Anderson this

0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:44.840
<v Speaker 1>morning and taking your stabs on him. What makes you

0:49:44.880 --> 0:49:48.480
<v Speaker 1>so interested in him? Well? I think number one is

0:49:48.480 --> 0:49:51.400
<v Speaker 1>is the strikeout upside. He's got a you know, like

0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean the season, his last night opportunities, He's got

0:49:56.480 --> 0:50:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a twenty strikeout, two walks u Uh, he gets multiple strikes,

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:03.799
<v Speaker 1>he pitches. Uh. He's pitching an ending in all nine

0:50:03.800 --> 0:50:06.560
<v Speaker 1>of his last appearances, and he's pretty much either struck

0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:09.240
<v Speaker 1>out two or three batters and everyone except for one game,

0:50:09.520 --> 0:50:11.600
<v Speaker 1>So you're gonna get a lot of strikeouts. I know

0:50:11.640 --> 0:50:13.920
<v Speaker 1>he's getting up a homewer in the last two, but

0:50:14.239 --> 0:50:19.000
<v Speaker 1>as Frank stated correctly, stacking rounder is just he's just atrocious.

0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Romo is a guy that I think he could be

0:50:22.400 --> 0:50:25.040
<v Speaker 1>used in several different spots. He's not a guy that

0:50:25.120 --> 0:50:28.799
<v Speaker 1>needs to get saves to build up his trade. Uh,

0:50:29.000 --> 0:50:31.719
<v Speaker 1>he's uh make him sexy for a trade, which you know,

0:50:31.840 --> 0:50:35.719
<v Speaker 1>teams know who Romo is. They're requiring Romo uh to

0:50:35.840 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 1>be in a different role, not to be a closer

0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:41.359
<v Speaker 1>or anything like that. So Andersen to me, even if

0:50:41.360 --> 0:50:44.040
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't get the saves right now, it's gonna give

0:50:44.080 --> 0:50:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you the strikeouts. And you know, if I got him

0:50:47.719 --> 0:50:50.799
<v Speaker 1>for nine dollars, if he was named the closer this week,

0:50:50.880 --> 0:50:54.520
<v Speaker 1>he'd go for you know three plus. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah,

0:50:54.520 --> 0:50:57.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a good point. Again, Rather be sooner rather than

0:50:57.560 --> 0:50:59.640
<v Speaker 1>later when it comes to picking up some of these relievers.

0:51:00.000 --> 0:51:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Many I wanted to ask you about Robert Stevenson. A

0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:04.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of people have been talking about Stevenson with the

0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati Reds, and everyone's trying to always find, oh, well,

0:51:06.920 --> 0:51:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the next Josh Hater, the next the next Andrew Miller.

0:51:10.719 --> 0:51:13.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, Robert Stevenson, a former top pitching prospect for

0:51:13.800 --> 0:51:15.799
<v Speaker 1>the Reds. You're supposed to be a starting pitcher, kind

0:51:15.840 --> 0:51:18.279
<v Speaker 1>of similar to Josh Hayter in that regard, does have

0:51:18.320 --> 0:51:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the prospect pedigree and you know, being converted to a

0:51:21.000 --> 0:51:23.440
<v Speaker 1>reliever this year. At least the velo is up across

0:51:23.480 --> 0:51:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the boar. I know, the fastball is up about a

0:51:25.880 --> 0:51:27.960
<v Speaker 1>mile and aout half, the sliders up two miles per hour.

0:51:28.560 --> 0:51:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Is Robert Stevenson a guy that you can see maybe

0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:34.600
<v Speaker 1>not picking up saves? Uh maybe if if Rice Elly

0:51:34.640 --> 0:51:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Glaciers continues to struggle, but a guy that can at

0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:39.319
<v Speaker 1>least give you good ratios and strike out. Is he

0:51:39.400 --> 0:51:41.400
<v Speaker 1>someone that can do that for you this season? I

0:51:41.880 --> 0:51:44.880
<v Speaker 1>think so. I think he's got to be a person

0:51:44.960 --> 0:51:48.680
<v Speaker 1>of interest in that Cincinnati bullpen along with a Mere Garrett.

0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:51.319
<v Speaker 1>You know, those are two guys that you know, they

0:51:51.360 --> 0:51:54.680
<v Speaker 1>said they wanted to use a Glaciers as a super

0:51:54.800 --> 0:52:00.279
<v Speaker 1>reliever this year as well. So that's another way of look.

0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Stevenson was always somebody that I feel like we're talking

0:52:03.719 --> 0:52:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to balking about this guy for at least five years,

0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and he is not going to be a starting pitcher.

0:52:10.080 --> 0:52:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think that's pretty evident. I think he can't.

0:52:13.440 --> 0:52:16.399
<v Speaker 1>He can't excel, you know, that's what most relieves are

0:52:16.440 --> 0:52:21.080
<v Speaker 1>failed starters, right And given the opportunity, if the velocity,

0:52:21.440 --> 0:52:24.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, can get that uptick which we always see

0:52:24.280 --> 0:52:27.359
<v Speaker 1>in the bullpen for for most cases, and he gets

0:52:27.400 --> 0:52:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the secondary stuff, you know, when he gets a second

0:52:29.440 --> 0:52:32.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, that second pitch that you know can really

0:52:32.320 --> 0:52:34.440
<v Speaker 1>be effective, then he could be a he could be

0:52:34.440 --> 0:52:37.440
<v Speaker 1>able a weapon. Matt. Before we let you go in

0:52:38.000 --> 0:52:40.719
<v Speaker 1>a couple of minutes with you and every single week

0:52:40.760 --> 0:52:43.240
<v Speaker 1>on the Athletic you go over your favorite to start

0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:46.120
<v Speaker 1>pitchers for the weeks, we wanted a chance to do

0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that with you. I had a chance yesterday in my

0:52:49.080 --> 0:52:50.719
<v Speaker 1>league to make a decision. I'm sure other people in

0:52:50.719 --> 0:52:53.279
<v Speaker 1>twelve team leaves have this choice between Pablo Lopez and

0:52:53.400 --> 0:52:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Eric Swanson, which direction would you go? Swanson has a

0:52:59.560 --> 0:53:02.520
<v Speaker 1>has has a nice schedule this week, So I do

0:53:02.640 --> 0:53:04.960
<v Speaker 1>get it, Lopez that they believe that top of my head,

0:53:05.000 --> 0:53:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the second start is at Philadelphia, correct. I'm just maybe

0:53:09.520 --> 0:53:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm just a little rational because I think this kid

0:53:11.640 --> 0:53:14.920
<v Speaker 1>is close to figuring it out and he's going to

0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:18.920
<v Speaker 1>be a star. I'm really you know, I pushed all

0:53:18.960 --> 0:53:21.560
<v Speaker 1>my future. If he was just stocking it was options,

0:53:21.880 --> 0:53:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I'd be betting on the future. For Pablo Lopez, I'm

0:53:24.920 --> 0:53:28.359
<v Speaker 1>probably gonna roll with him. He doesn't walk anybody, which

0:53:28.440 --> 0:53:32.040
<v Speaker 1>is really good, and he should get you some strikeouts

0:53:32.800 --> 0:53:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and even in the game. I watched this patch week. Yeah,

0:53:35.200 --> 0:53:37.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm I'm really impressed. All right, So you's used

0:53:37.840 --> 0:53:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Lopez over Swanson. Oh, which is actually what you told

0:53:40.239 --> 0:53:43.720
<v Speaker 1>me yesterday too, frank Yes, precisely. I like Paublo Lopez

0:53:43.920 --> 0:53:47.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot as well Eric Swanson at San Diego and

0:53:47.680 --> 0:53:50.400
<v Speaker 1>versus Texas. On paper to the matchups are better. But

0:53:50.480 --> 0:53:53.640
<v Speaker 1>for Pablo Lopez does get Cleveland not not as good

0:53:53.640 --> 0:53:54.960
<v Speaker 1>of a match up as it was a week ago

0:53:55.000 --> 0:53:57.720
<v Speaker 1>because he didn't have Francisco. They didn't have Frankie Lindor

0:53:57.880 --> 0:54:00.600
<v Speaker 1>in their lineup, and now they do, so the Indians

0:54:00.640 --> 0:54:02.799
<v Speaker 1>lineup is gonna get better. I don't love Philly, but

0:54:02.840 --> 0:54:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I agree that you're just you're trusting the stuff with

0:54:04.960 --> 0:54:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Pavol Lopez took overall. I just think it's better than

0:54:07.600 --> 0:54:09.480
<v Speaker 1>a guy like Eric Swan. All right, what two a

0:54:09.520 --> 0:54:12.560
<v Speaker 1>couple of other to start pitchers this week? Wait, Miley's

0:54:12.600 --> 0:54:17.080
<v Speaker 1>facing Minnesota and Cleveland, Luke Weaver, Pittsburgh and Chicago. Luke Weaver.

0:54:17.160 --> 0:54:19.960
<v Speaker 1>People are kind of jumping back on board here, Matt, No,

0:54:20.080 --> 0:54:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I think you got to be impressed. The last two

0:54:21.880 --> 0:54:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Star Games seventeen strikeouts to one walk. A couple of

0:54:26.320 --> 0:54:28.719
<v Speaker 1>years ago, we were falling. Everybody was falling all over

0:54:28.800 --> 0:54:31.120
<v Speaker 1>themselves with draft him in like the beginning to sticks around.

0:54:31.800 --> 0:54:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh so you know, it's not like you didn't have

0:54:33.480 --> 0:54:37.240
<v Speaker 1>any pedigree or any attraction prior. So I'm a launch

0:54:37.280 --> 0:54:40.160
<v Speaker 1>again right the hat hand, He's at Pittsburgh and I

0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:43.279
<v Speaker 1>think home verge the Cubs. I'm in a right so

0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:47.359
<v Speaker 1>in on a guy like Luke Weaver. You're Jerry Hellix

0:54:47.400 --> 0:54:50.239
<v Speaker 1>down here. Huh. That's not somebody you're starting. No, I

0:54:50.480 --> 0:54:54.040
<v Speaker 1>just I just wrote all the name ps. But I

0:54:54.080 --> 0:54:59.000
<v Speaker 1>do like god alright, last one of the day, Matt.

0:54:59.000 --> 0:55:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Are you starting in Boston and in Chicago? Are you

0:55:03.400 --> 0:55:09.359
<v Speaker 1>running with the ball Spencer Turnbull? Baby? Look, I think

0:55:09.360 --> 0:55:11.600
<v Speaker 1>that ten. I like him, but I think that's ten

0:55:11.640 --> 0:55:14.719
<v Speaker 1>strike at performance earlier, maybe everybody jumped their skis a

0:55:14.760 --> 0:55:18.719
<v Speaker 1>little with the expectations. I stated, I really don't want

0:55:18.719 --> 0:55:21.239
<v Speaker 1>to put him in versus Boston. I want that. I

0:55:21.320 --> 0:55:26.480
<v Speaker 1>really do want that White Sox upside. So it's it's

0:55:26.520 --> 0:55:29.359
<v Speaker 1>it's a game call for me. Uh. You know what,

0:55:29.600 --> 0:55:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you only live once thrown in. He's running with a ball,

0:55:33.680 --> 0:55:36.879
<v Speaker 1>that's right. That's why met Modica is allowed on every week.

0:55:37.000 --> 0:55:38.520
