Um, what else is there 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.640 anything else? Mass Mass I'm not interested in golf. Had 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.840 someone asked me on Twitter who I think is gonna 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.000 win the Masters? I said, I just can't even name 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:33.560 five golf. Why does you have they asked me. I've 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:36.560 been watching and follow it and just said, hey, pass 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.720 him over to Greg. Yeah, I will next time. Sorry, 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.679 you follow golf? Yeah, like golf. I saw him watching 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:45.560 the Masters yesterday. Whole life. Feel like I don't even 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.760 know you anymore. I've watched the Masters in my whole life. 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:52.040 I like golf, You'll pull my friends? Do you like golf? 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:59.240 Mostly because when I played it, it's so frustrating so far. Also, 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.480 I can I can name quite a few golfers as well. 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.600 Like golf, not like into it as like Mayo is 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.079 where Cam Steward is, Like I like watching casual. Those 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.440 guys bet every single week, right, Yeah, they're into it. 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.480 When you bet, you like every sport pretty much pretty 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.320 much the game Reency theory on anything? Is Gabe still 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.880 down there with yes? Just making sure. Um, I gotta 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.680 talk to Gabe Okay after the show, I will bet. 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.440 What Regarding these Toronto raptors, man, I've noticed something about 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.760 Gabe gave the number one rule of the Homer. Homer, 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.680 you can't bet with your heart, Gabe. Never bet against 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.320 the Bills and never bet against the Raptors. He shouldn't 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.880 even touch the Raptors series. He shouldn't touch it because 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.440 he's gonna bet with his heart. Don't touch a gab 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.359 Gabe wants to grab him, Mike. You know, I'd give 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.200 him a chance to defend himself. I don't want to 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.000 kill the guy on air. Not let him defend himself. 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.040 He's on the air like six hours and true. Yeah, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.280 like he's Gonnas game time. I mean, you could just 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.800 crush me. Then it's fine, all right, we gotta get 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.239 back to baseball. We've been doodling too much. Sorry, man, 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:04.480 just being honest. Um should be the waiver wire is there? 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:06.440 You want to do anything else you want to hit? 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:07.960 I mean we can bounce around. I mean there were 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.400 still nothing else you want to talk about from yesterday. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:14.080 I mean most of us, like the afternoon, it was 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.800 like kind of like whatever, Stephen Madi, Stephen Matts, is 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:22.120 that anyone hit on? That'd be cool? All right? Stephen 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.160 mates actually been solid. He had eight strikeouts. Interesting, how 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:29.280 about strikeounts, but only seven swinging strikes that's crazy. That's 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:32.959 an interesting stat for you. Huh. It's five pitches Stephen 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.480 mat Like Mats, I don't own any shares of him 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.960 because last year he was all over the places. So 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:44.600 far has been pretty good. Whenever talk when we talk 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.760 about the Mets Martino, it just texts me facts about that, 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.440 Like the second we mentioned I got playing. What do 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.840 you say that? Just Steven Matt's boom two point seven 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.720 e r A in Atlanta in his career. Wow? Alright, 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:58.720 look at Matins strike percentages up this year. The chase 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.960 rate is a rear high so far, so, but the 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:04.920 swinging strikes do just haven't necessarily been there. Nine seven 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.040 a little bit below league average. So I think he's 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.440 he's been fine thus far. Looking at his pitch usage, 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.520 using the change up a little bit more this year, 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:16.320 curb boll less. So maybe you know his fastball change 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.679 up combinations working out for him. He's creeping. He's creeping 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.200 up the ladder in terms of value. You know his 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.400 value in terms of his value. Alright, so he faced 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.920 the braves last night? We ell does he faced? He's 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.240 faced Washington? Okay, that's you know, five shoutout and he's 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.520 against Washington with eight strike us. That's very good because 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.320 you know we're using that as the argument for Zach 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.840 Wheeler is that he's been rocked by the Nationals twice 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.760 because they're a really good lineup. So Matt has been 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.640 good there and then against the Marlins he allowed three 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.520 runs but only one was earned. That was his worst start. Okay, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:53.080 he's been pretty good and against three division foes. Alright, 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.479 So if he's like my SP five or six for 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.760 most people, he is, Yeah, you love it. I feel 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.600 right about that. I like the last year too. The 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.760 only thing with him is health. That's really what it is. 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.320 It's health that's the only good because he's got the stuff, 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.400 you know, that's not just health. He could be erratic, 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.800 to be iratic, that's the issue. I think mostly it 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.640 has been health, though gring Or lack their road, I agree, 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.960 I agree, But he has been the numbers last year 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.479 because I wanted to like Stephen Matts this year and 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.279 I just couldn't bring myself to like like I wanted to, 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:24.920 but I won't. But there was a time where I 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:26.160 looked into him and I thought it was gonna be 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.599 one of my guys this year. You always want to 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.680 like the Mets pictures like Callaway because we like and 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:32.880 this is part of the reason why we like the 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.760 Indians too, right, because the Indians being able to develop pictures, 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.240 and part of them developing pictures was a lot of 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.839 it was Mickey Callaway. So now he's with the Mets 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:44.720 and hopefully Zack Wheeler bounces back tonight. I guess we'll 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.160 find out we're gonna lose our minds. We're gonna lose 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:51.359 our mind next week Wheeler sucks again. Um Dancey Sponsors 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.800 stole his first base of the season. Swanson also won 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.160 one skys is doing it all everything. It's a good 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.920 bring upon. Is this a guy? Did he? Is? He 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.720 must add in twelve team? I'll tell you right now. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.840 He was the most picked up player on ESPAN leagues. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.760 Would you rather own Pantie Swanson or Jerks and Profile 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.400 that was coming pro far? I'd rather own Profar too, 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.400 So I guess Andree Swanson is not a must owned 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.120 player because if you don't think Jerks and Profile and 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.000 you can't think I do think. I don't think I'm 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.839 saying I'm just saying logic. Yeah, I do think Mustard. 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.680 I think I think to me, you like to ride 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.640 players while he's hot. I mean, there's might be the 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.440 only player hotter than him, Right, That's exactly what I 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.000 was going to say. You want to pick up a 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:34.080 hot batter wants his hot one man super hot. Yeah, 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.760 and he's still a guy with upside. By the way, 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.880 we speculated about Kyle Kyle, he got hyoga being called 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.240 up for the Yankees because Gary Sanchez officially just hit 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.960 the eye. Om man, Gary things always something looking at 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:50.200 was Sandro to Texas to Sandro, video producer editor downstairs, 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.880 the most optimistic Yankee fan. It's actually amazing every Yankee starters. 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.920 He loves Gary Sanchez, is that true? And Luke boit 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:03.200 and am sorry angly and in this person and everyone 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:08.320 heard except I'm so happy. At least we have finally 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:12.280 caught Mets fever in terms of everyone heard on the team. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.800 Everybody Hicks d ned was coming into the year, but 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:24.040 and new harror, Gary Sanchez, Severino's coming back. But it doesn't. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.600 But the most of them, it's not even like it's 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.960 like okay, it's not even like okay, you have five 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.560 guys on the aisle, yes, yeah, Hicks, right, so you 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.680 have six guys on the aisle, and you would hope 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.040 that maybe three of them are guys that aren't really important, 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.400 but all six of them are vital to the team. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.320 He's like, has been out crazy. All right, how about this, Greg, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:45.320 I know we just spoke about how bad he is. 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.680 If you need a second catcher, you pick up Austin Romine. 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.239 Nice stinks, well, every second catcher stinks, Greg, we're dropping 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:56.360 our first catcher. Beef Castile would Josh Fegley, all right, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.640 that's fine. I agree with you on that. That's fine, 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.200 thank you. Why don't we like Fegley? He's been good, 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:07.080 he's been he's been good, absolutely hot man. Seriously, Josh 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.040 Fegley's he's been good. I guess that catcher. No, he's 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:14.080 been good. Second three homers, eight run scored, seven RBIs. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.400 He's betting three thirteen. He's got like twenty times the 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.960 amount of hits that Yonder Alonzo has got. He's got 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.320 a forty line driver. Rey is bad. Balls are line 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.880 drives and catcher. If you could grab a Hawkeye like that, 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.360 it's big. That's yeah, like a two patch league. You 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.920 got exactly. Gotti Roman I would say, at least you 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.560 know Roman at least is gonna play the majority of 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.640 the time in a really good lineup environment. So as 0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.920 your second catcher, if you've got some scrub really sucks. 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.040 I look at Roman. We speculated on this Braves line 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.880 Roman or Carson Kelly, Gregson. Kelly's not even Roman because 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.800 he's gonna play one in Carson Kelly. Like that's something 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:52.800 I might do. Speak in the main eventure opportunity, I 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.400 have car Okay with that? Yeah, okay with that? Um yes, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.280 especially yesterday on the Braves lineup. So enter c r 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.040 J didn't play yesterday. Azzi Albi's let off the game 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.200 still still ahead of which is what he's been doing. 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.480 He hadn't doing it anyways, has been leading off against 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.839 his left alright, so he normally owns lefties. What do 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.640 you thinet that contract man? They're killing him as a 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.800 cons and his are they're getting. They're stealing that both, 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.120 they're stealing seven for thirty five? What are they thinking? Greg? 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.440 What it was Azzi Albi's team thinking? You're saying? Because 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.640 all right, I understand when you to get a player 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.319 on a cheap contract while he's still under team control, 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.920 I understand, like from both sides because the team wants 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.040 to lock up the player and you're worried about cheap 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.559 and you know, the player wants some financial security. I 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.440 understand that it might be a strike in the future, 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.160 but Greg seven for thirty five. This is something that 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.840 a player under team control was getting like five six 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:51.439 years ago. Like that was a contract that Starling Marte 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:53.920 was signing when he was still under team control. Something 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.840 like that. You know, I saw you. I saw it 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.760 yesterday called the second worst contract in the history of baseball? 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.920 Were what was the worst Jason Worth, Kobe Elsbery? No, 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.839 so the other side, right, like the other the worst 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.360 on the player. Okay, what was the worst team? Terrible? Yeah, 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:15.080 Salvador Perez signed around the same time, even a little 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.360 bit older, signed like a five year, seven million dollar 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:23.959 deal seven million hole before the season. That's why I 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.800 want to know what did Brandon lou get before the season, 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.240 because he got an extension for a second. But the 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.800 Salvador Harris concert was so bad that after like they 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.640 won the World Series, he was so underpaid that the 0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.800 Royals just tore it up. Like listen, you have outplayed this, Like, 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.120 let me give you an I was thinking about this 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:39.360 I just looked it up. Brandon Laud got six for 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:44.400 twenty four million, six four three and Ozzy Albis gets 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:48.240 seven five. It's crazy. He has a whole season under 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:50.839 his belt, where Azzi Albis does where he was pretty good. 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:52.319 I know, I know he fell off in the second half, 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:54.160 but overall his numbers were pretty good. He's a top 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.320 prospect and he had more prospect pedigree than a guy 0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.040 with Brandon Laud. Not that I want to pooh pooh 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:00.839 loud because I like him as a player. I think 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.840 he's a good player, but more Yeah, and he got 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.320 more money, but like not significantly more money a seven 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:12.160 year contract, raig, he should at least got six yeah, yeah, 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:14.160 Like the first number of my mind was like at 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.360 least fifty six, Like give me at least eight million 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:20.920 a year, at least sixty he's worth six thread five? 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.559 What is it? What is he wants to the agent 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:25.680 doing here? I just saw something that said he doesn't 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.679 care about the money. He wants his family secure one 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.000 and two. He wants to be He's worried about the team. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.079 More on yourself a little bit, I know, I know, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.440 and Akunya deserves more than ten million and he got 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.760 a ten for eighty right Southern Repara has later signed 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.600 a sixty year, fifty two million dollar deal. Like after 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.400 it was ripped up, it felt terrible of this guy 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:54.080 like that sucked in. He signed a five year deal 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:59.880 for seven million awful, and they ripped it up into 0:11:59.920 --> 0:12:02.160 a sixteen to give him a new deal after the world. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:06.040 How much has he played to that the Royals? How 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.079 many years did he happens? Two solid years? Like good? 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:10.880 He played well. I don't want he played well. I'm 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.280 just telling you signed that deal. He was great defensively anyway, 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.000 so it didn't matter. He's mean, he was always pretty good. Yeah, 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.920 you know, he's been one of the most consistent catchers 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.240 since he's been a starter. But I was wondering if 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:23.079 he was proven already or not at that point, you know, 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.599 And I don't. I don't think he's like what he 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.280 is now with that power, but he was still I mean, 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.480 he was an up and coming guy. And and you know, 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.680 the Royal has given their contracts and given their ability 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.839 to you know, their budget constraints, they have to get 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.160 lock guys up. But five years, seven million dollars, that 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.440 come on, what are we doing what are you doing? 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:45.719 Can at least right? I want to jump in. I 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.800 want to I want to jump into two. Lopez is 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.280 from yesterday. I want to ask you about Pablo Lopez 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.720 because it's been three subpar starts, and before I dive 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.160 into anything, I want to ask you, guys, would you 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.439 drop Pablo Lopez just seeing what you've seen thus far? Yes, Yes, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.319 would drop Popo Lopez? Okay, well I'm here to tell 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.880 you that I would not. I would not because he's 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.000 a six point one zero E array through three starts. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.599 He has him good. I can't deny that. But he 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.480 has a three point three three x FIT So I 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:21.240 think told me that we don't play in an x 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:25.319 FIP league, but there are other there are other numbers 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.600 as well. And and that player that we were talking 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.440 about was John Gray, who to this point in time 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.319 i'm still right about. He pitched a gem yesterday. Well, yeah, 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.280 it was a giant. You could pitch a gem against him. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:40.920 Probably the reason why the x FIP is more valuable 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:42.959 here Greg is because he pitches in Marlin's Park, So 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:44.480 the x FIP is a little bit more valuable, Like 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:45.800 he's not going to give up home runs at the 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.800 rate that he has, or because he pitches in Marlin's Park, 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.439 it's a much better location to pitch, and then a 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.080 place like Corus Field, and it's k minus walk percentage. 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.800 It's twenty four point five. So he's kane a bunch 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.600 of guys. He's not walking many and that would rank 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.400 top twelve months starting pitchers right now, So he's not 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.880 I'm not walking at anybody. He has two walks aloud 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.600 on the season total. He has struck out five guys 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.040 in each of his last two games, seven strikeouts an 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:12.360 opening day at home against the Colorado Rockies. He's allowed 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:13.960 three runs in the first start, and then the last 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.480 two have been away one in Atlanta one since Natty Bolt, 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.240 known as hitter ballparks seven hits in each, four runs 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:21.200 allowed in each as well. He hasn't been good. I 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:22.640 can't defend that at all. And I own him in 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.080 a few locations, and I started him in the main event. 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.800 I started him over whose Daktana, so clearly I was 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.360 in and that one hurt. That one, that one sucks. 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.320 So I feel your pain if you've been starting Pablo Lopez. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:36.440 But I'm here to tell you like the velocity is 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.200 up from last season, the whiffs are up, the strikeout 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.680 minus walkers there. I think there's still a lot to 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.800 like about Pablo Lopez in the deeper league, Like maybe 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:47.120 in the twelve team league you might be able to 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.720 find someone at this point who's better. But I think 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.680 you know, if it's a deeper twelve team league, if 0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:54.520 you have deep benches or overall, if it's just like 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.520 a fifteen team or mixed, I would hold onto Pablo Lopez. 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.240 I think better days are coming. Oliver's next start hims 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:06.160 at home on the sixteenth against the Chicago Cubs. That's 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.200 probably not a start for me. But you're not gonna 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:09.680 start him then he's at home, Like, you're not gonna 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:11.720 Like he's in the analyst, but the clubs are one 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.480 of the best lineups in the NL. But I understand. 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.640 But like you're the analyst, right, so you're not startingh 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.280 he hits the Cubs, you certainly not gonna start against 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.560 the Phillies. Don't you want to see a proven start 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.480 from him again? Though, But like if he bounces back 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.560 in Mon's Park, then maybe you trust the matter kind 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.000 of just you don't think you just have to necessarily 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:27.200 get him in there, so I think I don't think 0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:29.120 you have to get him in there. I I we 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.000 always think a little bit different with than this, Like 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:33.520 when you're a weekly start lead. We were talking and arly, like, 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.000 which one of these guys do you start? Like that's 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:36.840 I leave on the bench for some of our other options, 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.280 probably depending on their matchups we haven't looked, but like 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.880 I think, from a daily change league, are you going 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.920 to start him or not? And maybe that will depend 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.040 on where your matterpis during the little bit tougher, But 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.360 Ja Dailey, that's how I think about it when we 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.920 talk about it generally. I I would almost start anybody, okay, 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.480 in a in a daily transactionally, unless it's something really bad, 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.320 like if it's Pablo Lopez in Coors Field, like right 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.320 but at home in Chicago, Like you could talk me 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.520 into that in a daily trains actions league, but in 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.040 weekly I would imagine that I have someone with a 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:10.360 better matchup than to start there. And in the daily league, 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:12.200 to think that's the thing. You want pictures on your 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.480 roster that you can plug in at any time, because 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.080 you want to try to plug them all in. So 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:18.560 if you have a guy you're on the fence about 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.560 like a Pablo Lopez. It almost comes to the point 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.000 that should I even own him, because now I gotta 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.400 worry about this in the daily league. Do I want 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.480 to start him against the Cubs at all? Right? But 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.200 even even if it's a you know, a wait and see, 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.040 let's see what he does to start against the Cubs 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:35.400 and then if he's all right, then maybe you trust 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.200 in the next one. If he gets bombed, then after 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.400 that start, I get it. But I do think better 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.280 days are coming, Greg, And I want to bring up 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:42.880 poor Hee Lopez as well. Maybe we get into a 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:45.280 little bit more after the break. Greg, but former top 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.000 pitching prospect for the Brewers, he's kind of bounced around. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.040 He hasn't been good in the miners, haven't been good 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.080 in the majors either. Getting a chance to start now 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.080 with the Kansas City Royals, he's been solid. And like 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.200 if you look at the X fit and and and 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.120 the strike of the hayes Per nine and the walk Brine, 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.800 they don't look great regarding Jorgy Lopez, but the swinging 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:06.920 strikes are up. A guy throws an eighties seven mile 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:11.159 pur slider in deeper leagues, Jorge Lopez. That's my desertion 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.440 z break when we come back.
