This is 0:00:10.560 --> 0:00:13.760 leading off Live, brought to you by Friese Picks, and 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:15.960 of course it's me Joey pa Jo Pie's a p 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.599 of that, of course is the Welsh and all the 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:20.759 Peanuts and the cracker Jacks already in the chat. I 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.400 see some people look at this, Bill King shout out 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.720 to Bill. First time here live. This is the first 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.120 time for everything, Bill, and we're happy that you're here 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:30.800 joining us. So it's a happy, fun Friday for most 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.600 of us, maybe not so much of our friends Chris 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.519 talk Nacci and our friend Chris Welsh. Chris says here, 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:40.440 I am a Jeffrey Springs owner, and I was told 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.720 that this is a safe space, Welsh. It was good 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.760 and bad yesterday. It was a mixed bag, very good. 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:47.800 If you listened to the show yesterday and you had 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.479 an investment in Joe Ryan against the Yankees, whether it 0:00:50.520 --> 0:00:54.000 was prize picks, betting, dfs, I don't care what it was. 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.520 If you didn't make money yesterday on the Twins against 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.680 the Yankees, I feel sorry for you because you missed 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.360 the show. Came at a cost, and that is the 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.720 Jeffrey Springs injury. So we have the Tampa Bay Rays 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.840 leading the headlines here setting a new standard for hot 0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.720 streaks to open the season. But Jeffrey Springs is going 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.959 to be out for a while. Welsh, let's start there, 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:15.960 because let's just get it over with and let's. 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:21.360 Talk about it. Yeah, who cares about your twins? Bull crap, Joe? 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:26.840 Who cares when the world is crumbling under us? All 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.840 is lost? I'm a little dead inside, Jeffrey. I was 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.680 watching that start. I felt it was very timody yesterday 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.640 about like the bets. I wanted to jump in, but 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.920 it was five and a half. He looked so good. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:43.640 He was just painting corners. I swear to you, about 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.920 five to seven minutes before the injury, I was sitting 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.040 here and you came into the back of my mind 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.880 and I remembered you saying this where you said, hey, 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.000 Jeffrey Springs plus eighteen hundred on the SI Young And 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.840 I was like, ah, Joe, you're so silly. Okay, maybe 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.280 I don't know. I don't do that market a whole lot. 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.320 And then I was watching him and I went, I'm 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.280 gonna bet this. I think I'm gonna bet this. Look 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.720 at how good he looks. Look at how good he 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:09.200 looks right now? And then pain, nothing but pain. He 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:13.760 has an oulner inflammation, which I was going back and 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.720 forth the people on Twitter looks like, no matter what, 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.600 it's an il stent. It looks like the timetable is 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.000 somewhere in the vicinity of like four to eight weeks. 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.359 I've seen people say four six, eight somewhere in there. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.560 I think it's gonna be a month regardless, and we 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.360 are going to lose one of the best pitchers in 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.120 baseball and all is stupid. 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.639 So you and Wonkee were in the same boat there. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.960 It looks like it is stupid. It sucks. The good 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.880 news is though, it does open up once again. The 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.320 Tosh Bradley conversation. Yeah, so we are right back to 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.320 where we were yesterday. Which remember, if I said clearly 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.519 enough be aggressive, there will be other injuries. So a 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.799 guy like todsh Bradley's very reasonable to be aggressive on 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.320 because eventually there's gonna be opportunity anything. It's gonna be oh, 0:02:57.320 --> 0:02:59.799 I don't know, four or five hours later after having 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.240 that conversation with you, but alas it was. So if 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.079 you're in a daily trans league. Hopefully you did pick 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.720 him up there. And if in a weekly trans league, 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.200 now this is going to be more complicated because the transactions. 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.720 When you go put him in on Sunday night, everybody's 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.679 gonna know, and the bing's gonna go up even more. 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.920 And I think you go ahead and you make that wager, 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:19.680 and you put it in there, and you hope that 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.680 he makes twelve to fifteen starts for the race this year, 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.160 and if he does, that's a good return. And if 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.640 you've got any sort of keeper situation, you go ahead, 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.359 you put that investment in as well. Let's get to 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.720 some more headlines here. I want to talk more about 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:32.760 the Twins pummeling the Yankees because it was so good. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:37.360 So watching that first inning, came downstairs after dinner, put 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.640 the game on. We were gonna watch Survivor on the DVR, 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.960 my kids and I and I said, let's watch a 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.520 little the Yankee game. Person just want to see my 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.120 boy Julian hit. And then they just kept hitting and hitting, 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.120 and next thing you know, they basically batted around that inning. 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.920 It was amazing, it was stunning, it was so much fun. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.000 Jo Edward got his first two career hits in the 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.440 same inning in the. 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.680 Same all money Yankee Stadium. Amazing stuff. 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.040 I got stoked when I thought it was really telling 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.080 that they led him off. We've seen a couple of 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.600 the Yankees did that with Anthony Volpi. They led him off, 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.720 which I thought was Okay, there you go. He hits 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.320 a home run, and that whole time through when he 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.720 came back up, I just like zoned out and I 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:14.920 came back to the game and I was like, wait 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.760 a minute, the Yankees haven't even hadn't a bat yet 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.280 and they're already going through. It felt like it was 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.040 like forty minutes long. It was wild what they did. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:26.520 Johnny Brido out brutal, brutal, brutal. But Edward Julian looked 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.400 really good. And it has definitely led to the conversation 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.400 of like, is Edward Julian going to be able to 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:34.080 stick around a little bit longer now? And I think 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.640 it's on the table. I'm still cautious about it. Alex 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.480 Kirlov hit a homer in rehab, Jorge Polanco rehabbing with him. 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.360 Both of these guys are coming back. He's flexible as 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.200 far as positions he can play, and I think we're 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.039 in a stage right now. If prospects in baseball where 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:52.720 it used to be, it didn't matter how a guy 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:55.360 would perform, They're gone, it didn't matter. I don't think 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.359 we're in that anymore. I think a guy can play 0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.960 his way where a team just can't throw him back 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.479 act necessarily, and I think that's on the table for 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.240 Edward Julian. But he's just still not guaranteed anything. But boy, 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.360 that dude's If that dude's gonna be leading off, it's 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:08.880 kind of a game changer of its value. 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:12.400 Yeah, I'm I'm making the rounds here on the Twitter machine, 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.280 and I'm getting a lot of questions about Von Grissom, 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.040 who Arcia went on the IL. We'll talk about it. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:17.280 Might as well talk about it here at the top 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.680 because this is, I think what everybody wants to talk about. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.240 Because Von Gerson's gonna get called up because Arcia I 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.080 put him on the waiver pickup and he got hurt 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:27.560 immediately after, So great. That's always fun when those videos 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.839 come out, like, you know, twelve hours after you record 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.119 them and something like that happens. But I was also 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:36.200 in there picking up Edward Julian as well. And so 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:37.960 it's the yen and yang. There's always good and bad. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.320 It's baseball. Things happen fast. If you don't slow down 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.920 once in a while, you might miss it. But Von Grisson, 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.040 Edward Julian, those two guys, those prospects. I'm gonna make 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.599 the case for Julian over Grissom. And here's why the 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.480 Arcia extension. I don't know why the Braves would throw 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.520 money at Arcia if they really had a lot of 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.400 confidence in Grissom. That scares me. I also think the 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.200 Twins need a leadoff hitter, and a guy with the 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.680 on basse skills of Julian, I think is a perfect fit. 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.600 Because if you're looking at this lineup, Buckson's not a 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:07.640 line a leadoff hitter. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:08.320 We all know that. 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.560 In terms of OBP. Who are you gonna throw up there? 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.080 Nick Gordon, he doesn't get on bas and off. I 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.599 don't care if he's got speed. I really don't care. 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.400 Carlos Carrea, you really don't want him hitting in the 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:17.800 lead offs, but I don't think that's where you wanted 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.680 to go. Polanco's not a leadoff hitter. Kirolof is not 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:25.720 so to me. I think the Brave see potential downside 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:30.160 when they look at Grissom, they see potential defensive liability, 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.559 they see in a financial investment they made in Arcia 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.039 and wanting to get something out of that, Whereas with 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.960 the Twins, I kind of feel like they see the 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.400 upside with Julian and they think that this guy can 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.839 really help us win now and things are going pretty 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.920 well for the Twinkies. What do you think about that 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.159 take between those two players. I think they're both worth adding, 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.440 but if I can only add one, Julian would be 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.359 the guy over Grisom for me, because I think the 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:57.320 Twins need him more than the Braves need Grisom, So. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.320 I kind of agree that they're both like really close. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:05.240 I would go with Grissom right now, but I'm not 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.000 sold really either way. Like I'm I was worried about 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.360 that extension for RCA as well, because they spent the 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.560 entire off season with Grissom working at shortstop run Washington 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.040 and him and for them to you know, have him 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.640 in the major's work all off season and then just 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.040 not essentially have Braden Shoe make be a possibility. I 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.280 think it was telling us something. Now he's going to 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.080 be thrown into the mix for that. Now he's going 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:29.960 to play this position, and if he hits, which he 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.640 was hitting in triple A, he had more walks and strikeouts, 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.800 doing a little bit of everything. If he continues that, 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:38.160 I don't see how they're going to get him out 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.400 of the lineup, which might move him around, which they 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.280 toyed with at some points playing the outfield. I feel 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.600 like the path right now is easier for Grisom than 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.040 it is Julian because I look at the lineup there. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.880 So when Kario Lof comes back, he takes over for 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.920 Solano at first. When Planco comes back, he takes over second. 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.400 Where does Julian play? He could be an outfielder, but 0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.520 it would be at the expense of Nick Gordon or 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.440 Michael Tate, who just had a couple bombs. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.880 See, I think Gordon is the odd man out. 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.080 I mean, they're both lefties. I don't I think this 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.640 team is so committed to him because like Julian, he 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:12.000 can play outfield and he can play second base. I 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.960 just don't know where it is. Again, if Julian just hits, 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.760 how are they going to justify taking him off that lineup? 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.200 Maybe he's a platoon guy. With I don't know, Michael 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.320 Taylor in the outfield or something, but he can't platoon 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:23.680 in Nick Gordon because they're both left you. 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.000 So I just the I look at Nick Gordon Welsh, 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.520 I see a guy with no very little power. Okay, 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.120 nine home runs last year. I see him on A 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:34.080 three sixteen to obp like, I'm just not excited about 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:38.120 Nick Gordon if I'm the twins anyway. And I look 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.960 at Mike, Mike Mayor is listen, Mike Mayor is gonna 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.120 have to get put in his place right now. First 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:43.640 of all, imagine saying you're going to watch the Vivor 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.240 on the DVR in twenty twenty three. Yeah, my kids 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.560 like Survivor. Millions of people watch Survivor. And I was 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.200 glad that Jam Jam didn't go home. I like Jam Jam. 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.800 He's fun, he's good television. So Jam Jam did not 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:53.160 go home. 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:54.880 Look he's telling you what to do, Joe. See I'm 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.720 the one that always freaks out. Now, look you go 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.559 at Mike. He's telling you what to do, Joe. He 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.480 wants you to put the other comment on the screen. 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:01.920 What's the other comic? 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.439 The bottom one, the very very hordbo one. Yeah, look 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:06.400 at that. He's telling you what to do. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:08.240 Joe Aaron Buxson will be hurt by then and they'll 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.240 be playing for Rooim for Julian. He's not wrong, show 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:17.520 me the lie. I'm just saying to Also. Dgo says 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.400 I should go on Survivor. And here's the thing. I 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:22.559 would go on Survivor because I think I could win. 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.920 I think I have the people skills. I certainly have, 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.880 you know, in terms of the puzzle, athletic skills, all 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.520 like the physical stuff I could do. I can't do 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.400 the no eating. The Italian can't do the no eating. 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.800 That's people said I should just go on Big Brother instead, 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.120 because that's just inside. That's like it's like, you know, 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.640 the safe Space Survivor, you know, same kind of deal. 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.760 I've never watched an episode of Big Brother. I would 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:44.160 you be mad. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.640 I've never watched an episode of Survivor. I've never watched it. 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.439 No, And I understand that it wasn't a show that 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.480 I liked when it first came on. I had gotten 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.080 into it later in life, and then my kids got 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:54.959 into it because I was watching it, And now it's 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.280 like a thing. We watch it together as a family. Yeah, 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.959 Mike Mayor, who does he know? He's watching the watching Bluweie, right. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:04.240 You're getting more mad at like this, what a weird 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.720 place we're in. I can't get Joe to get mad 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.839 that Mike Mayor is trashing buckson again, is telling him 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.679 what to do, and he gets mad because he says 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.319 something about survivor what is going on now? 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.160 By the way, Donnie c and I cousin. Donnie and 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.240 I are going to go and apply for the Amazing 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.840 Race together because we would be incredibly entertaining on that program. 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:27.080 And you know, he drives stick shift. I can't, so 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:28.760 he's going to do all the driving. He drives like 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.520 a lunatic. Anyway, I'm, you know, a little bit you know, 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.439 cultural World League kind of fellow. I think we could 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:36.199 do very well. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:37.520 Between the two of them. I never watched that each. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:39.000 I don't watch the reality shows. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.400 That's not I typically don't that. Those are my two 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.120 reality show you know, Like what do they call it? 0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:46.320 Guilty pleasures? That's what they are? 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.040 All right, let's get me about you and me? Howbout 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:49.520 you and me on the Amazing Race too? 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.960 You You see, you get too mad too quickly. 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:53.960 I got way too mad. 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.719 That's your downfall. Next we're in a challenge, Welsh just 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.439 start throwing things because he can't figure it out and 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.240 he has a meltdown. Next thing, you know, we're going 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.000 home first, and I don't want to go home, but. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:03.640 You know in a challenge, you want me because if 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.520 we want to go back. It still hasn't been published, 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.120 but the great whatever competition. 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.360 The mental side of the game I worry about with you, 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.439 not the physical. So physical you're fine. The mental discipline, 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.600 by the way, were Ryan Mountcastle yesterday? I hate to 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.559 do this everybody but man, Marian Mountcastle, Audrey Rushman going 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.640 yard again. The a stink Welsh, I mean they stink bad. 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.520 And more on the a's later in the show. Continue 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.199 on Rowdy to Les homerd single to drove in three runs. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:35.000 On Thursday, the Brewers ten inning victory over San Diego Padres, 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:36.840 which ruined my parlay on the Twins game. But I 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.520 did make money on the Twins anyway. And the Giants 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.559 just came across the waiver wire here, not even the 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.800 waiver war, just the regular wire. Logan Webb a five year, 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:49.000 ninety million dollar extension here. So the twenty six year 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.559 old a two nine sixty ra over three hundred and 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.880 forty innings with the Giants the last few years. So 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:56.400 what do you think of this extension for Web? 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.520 Yeah, I mean I think this makes sense. They've got 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.640 to lock up there, guys. He's had a kind of 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.720 rough go early on. I've had him as a trade guy, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.600 but man, like, I want to see a little bit more. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.240 I think he's been carried by the strikeouts in that 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.160 very first game, but he is still sporting in over 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:13.600 thirty percent k rate. The walk rate is as low 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:18.160 as it's ever been. He's a boring ace for a team. 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:19.920 But I think this is good for them to lock up. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.760 And I still kind of think that Logan Web might 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.920 be like a really dirt cheap fantasy pitcher. You can 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:25.840 get a dirt cheap, but I don't know. I feel 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.200 like people are down enough and he's already boring that 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.720 you could get like a really good value. 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.160 Here's a funny one from mister Buster. My friends and 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.000 I lived together at school watch Survivor with dinner every 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.280 single night during lockdown. That's pretty like because they went 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.319 through the cannon of Survivors every single day. I think 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.520 it's great when you do things like that. True story. 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.760 The very first survivor that happened when it first came 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.640 out years and years ago, was my senior at college 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.440 and we were all still living in Philadelphia area and 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.280 in the city, and a bunch of my friends all 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.800 got together to watch it, and they voted somebody out 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.280 every single week that they couldn't come back to watch. 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.560 Really funny have you ever had? 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.040 It was only like two or three of them or 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.400 whatever it was watching together. It was the funniest idea ever, 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.040 and they and they pulled it off. They committed to it. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:11.840 It's like, I'm gonna vote this person out because they 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:14.320 brought bad chips or this person forgot to bring beer 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.319 or whatever. It was hilarious. 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:18.680 That's actually really good. Here's a side thing. Have you 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:22.560 ever had a friend or someone you knew decently well 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.880 on a reality show? Any reality show? 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.719 Oh? Yeah, I mean the very first American idol I 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.120 went to school with, Justin Guarini. He went to university 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.679 the Arts Conservatory. He was a singing major and a 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.760 vocal major, and I was an acting major there. So yeah, 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:37.360 at least one. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.280 Well, here's a good one down the line. 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.679 Now he's the doctor Pepper. He was the sweet one. 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:42.920 Oh really that guy. 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.640 There was a guy who used to work with Rasball. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.720 It was Tayhoe. I don't if you remember him, tal Bedeck. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:49.640 Oh yeah, huh. 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:53.040 He was on the Bachelor and he had a full 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.319 episode dedicated to him with his real name, and I 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.160 got it, got shared all in our little group. 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:58.240 He made it to the match. 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.080 He made it was he was on and he was 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.520 featured on a full on episode because he was a 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.200 crazy he's a crazy person. Yeah, and he was a 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:07.600 crazy person on the show. 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.480 Let's take a quick break in the action and tell 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.680 you about Fanimal. I love live events, but I hate 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.480 buying tickets the hidden fees they suck. It's like paying 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.640 for a whole other person who's not even there to 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.120 be there with you at the event, and customer service 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.760 is terrible and coordinating with friends is a nightmare. But 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:28.840 then I discovered Fanimal and Fannamal has tickets to everything concerts, festivals, football, basketball, 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:32.160 you name it, and Major League Baseball. And plus there's 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.000 no fees. The price you see is actually the price 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.360 you pay. What a concept? You heard it here? First? 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.080 Fanimal is the cheapest place on the internet to get 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.120 MLB tickets, and we've all experienced how painful it is 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.920 to coordinate going to events with friends, and I always 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:47.840 end up fronting a bunch of money and then chasing 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.960 down the friends to get reimbursed, and if they flake, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:53.400 I'm stuck with the whole bill. But Fnimal's patentent group 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:57.080 purchase makes it easy to split payments with your friends, 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.240 so nobody's left holding the bag and you don't have 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.320 to commit until your friends do. So just pick the seats, 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.440 pick how many tickets you want to pay for yourself, 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.040 and then send the link to your friends. And when 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.160 you join your group, everyone gets started separately and your 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:14.560 tickets are secured, so you can stack cash by inviting 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.600 friends ten bucks every time someone joins your group, catching baby. 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.440 So fanomal it has amazing customer service to don't take 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.520 my word for it. Check out their hundreds and hundreds 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.200 of five star reviews. The next time you need tickets, 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:31.280 go to fanimal dot com or download the fannimal app 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.680 and use the promo code fanimal MLB. That's fanimal MLB 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.840 for twenty dollars off your first purchase. Check out fnimal 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.600 and experience more and now back to the action. All right, 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:45.560 let's get to the injuries where you talked about Rco. 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.240 He's gonna miss some time. So Grissom is a media pickup. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:49.360 What are you spending on Grissome? 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.480 I think Grisome, you know, I just want to put 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.840 this Out've seen a lot of people like discuss how 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.920 crazy high dollar amounts of fabar early on in the year. 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.560 People like, oh, play in my league. But you know what, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.360 like this is the time to be aggressive. I tend 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.000 to spend more of my FAB in the first month 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:08.960 or so than I am later on. And would also 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.760 acknowledge that, like I think NFBC stuff maybe kind of 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.280 makes us a little bit bigger. But I think Grissom 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.400 is in that somewhere to ten, ten to fifteen percentile 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.800 range if you want to be aggressive, that's the high 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.240 I'm prioritizing him. I actually TODJ Bradley of everybody, I 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.320 want a little bit more. But Grissom is a little 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.480 bit probably the highest of those rookie hitters. Julian's a 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.800 little bit behind. Taj is probably the one I'm really 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:33.880 jumping in on. But I think all those guys live 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.240 in the ten to twenty percent range. If you want 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:37.720 to assure yourself you get them. 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:40.520 Here's a fun one from Jefferson twenty three. I think 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.840 there's a new beat to the chat. Drop Debtmers or 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.880 witlock tech activate Eloy Jimenez. I'm dropping witlock between those guys. 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.360 Not ready to get rid of Detmers yet. I'd like 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.000 to not drop either of them, Guy I, who we 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.960 assume is a shallow league. By the way, some other 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:56.800 fun things here in the chat. Here's from Tim, who 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:58.920 was good in the chat yesterday. Tim Zawyer says, I 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.080 would love to see joking back from Winning Survivor with 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.720 a Forest Gump level hair. Yes, it would. I mean, look, 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.600 it would all it's all going to grow in here. 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.640 It's all gonna grow in here. Not so much up there, 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:12.040 a little bit. It's there, but it's like back here 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.960 a little bit so. But you could see good. This 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:17.920 has been ninety degrees here. You see the swarthiness is 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:19.720 starting to kick in already on the program. 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.240 The only actually I forgot I do watch one reality show. 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.840 This would be good for you. Joe Naked and Afraid 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:26.920 where you have to spend twelve I've seen that. 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.760 I told you nope, bugs and no eating. No, that's 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:31.520 the only thing. 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.880 They don't blur out. The butt just sitting out there 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:38.520 just shaking be good for it. 0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.680 Would be good ratings. You know, I'm a pretty man. 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:44.159
