Speaker 1: Rob Say, Francess Pranktice, Good ball ladies, and gentleman your
Speaker 1: p BFF. Actionowers under way here on the Fantasy at
Speaker 1: Sports Network. That is Frank Stample. I am Greg Suple.
Speaker 1: As we said, cosmetic changes, you'll see them as we
Speaker 1: figure them out. But I would be here on the
Speaker 1: Action Hour, Frank stanfle Gregson, as I mentioned, Frank, what's happening? Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Our to Action Hour? Does that mean
Speaker 1: we should no dress up or anything? Why would do that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, liketle Arnold or something like an action
Speaker 1: movie could be like our thing or stick. That is
Speaker 1: that the plan here? I don't know. That's why I
Speaker 1: was asking, you know, I was throwing it out there.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be out on that idea. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: out on that one. Okay, all right, Well that's out there.
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, we'll think of something hopefully. All right,
Speaker 1: So the majority of the action hour today we'll be
Speaker 1: breaking down the whole run derby. Have all the odds
Speaker 1: in front of me, so we'll see what we can
Speaker 1: do with that. We're also gonna take a look at
Speaker 1: the NBA team totals going forward as well as there's
Speaker 1: been a lot of change in the NBA, so how
Speaker 1: does that affect team total? Is the betting market. We're
Speaker 1: gonna break down all of that as well. Before we do, Frank,
Speaker 1: I want to wrap up what we're talking about ean
Speaker 1: our number one, and that was in regard to the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys Frank and Dallas Cowboys from a fantasy perspective here,
Speaker 1: not too much to talk about. Was why I kind
Speaker 1: of say it to the end. I think we can
Speaker 1: get it done right now before we hit our our
Speaker 1: first break, and that is you know, Zeq l's top
Speaker 1: four running back. You mentioned earlier in our one Fantasy
Speaker 1: Hour that kind of interchangeable one through four. No issue there.
Speaker 1: He's pretty awesome. Big I think is twofold. There's two
Speaker 1: of them. Number one, Mark Cooper's the only wide receiver
Speaker 1: you're drafting here. We're not messing around you drafting Cooper?
Speaker 1: Where are you drafting him? How good can he be?
Speaker 1: I think that he can be more consistent, more reliable
Speaker 1: than he ever has before. We've seen some monster games
Speaker 1: out of Amari Cooper. There's no doubting that the talent
Speaker 1: is there. We saw some big games last year in
Speaker 1: that second half with the Dallas Cowboys, So I think
Speaker 1: there will be a little bit more consistency. Uh, does
Speaker 1: he have you know, the biggest upside on a game
Speaker 1: to game basis? Maybe not. I don't know that we're
Speaker 1: ever gonna see, you know, another two yard three touchdown
Speaker 1: game or whatever he did a couple of years ago
Speaker 1: with Oakland. But I think, you know, he can be
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver one, a consistent option for fantasy.
Speaker 1: What I won him as my wide receiver one? Probably not?
Speaker 1: I mean his ADP right now is anywhere it's in
Speaker 1: the third round. I've seen him go anywhere from you know,
Speaker 1: the two three turn to the three four turns. So
Speaker 1: he's in the third round, and I think that's a
Speaker 1: good spot for him. But what I want him as
Speaker 1: my wide receiver one? The answer is probably not. I
Speaker 1: would probably want a running back in the first round
Speaker 1: and then take a wide receiver in round two, and
Speaker 1: then come back and take a Mari Cooper in round three.
Speaker 1: H And that's not really a knock on him. It's
Speaker 1: just that, based on where fantasy football is going right
Speaker 1: now and the wide receiver position as a whole, I
Speaker 1: think you need someone better than a Marie Cooper to
Speaker 1: be your wide receiver one. And Fantasy Greg okay, I
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting. I think, to me, running back
Speaker 1: running back is a way to go, and if you
Speaker 1: do that and you have running back running back, I
Speaker 1: think you could do worse than Mark Cooper as your
Speaker 1: wide receiver one. I don't think it's horrible. It's not horrible.
Speaker 1: I'm probably just being greedy here. We haven't and for transparency,
Speaker 1: Frank and I both not made a rankings yet, so
Speaker 1: I have no idea where Cooper could fall. Like he
Speaker 1: could be right outside my top twelve for instance, if
Speaker 1: he's that thirteen and he's my wide receiver one. Okay,
Speaker 1: I literally have no idea. I haven't started by ranking.
Speaker 1: He's totally being honest with you. You started running back
Speaker 1: running back, and you wind up with two really good
Speaker 1: running backs. I think I'm okay with it. Yeah, look,
Speaker 1: that's a viable option as well. If you ended up
Speaker 1: with you know, a Levian Bell and David Johnson Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon in round one, and then round two you get
Speaker 1: a Nick Chubb, a Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixing, something like that,
Speaker 1: and then you end up with Cooper. Yeah, like that
Speaker 1: can work out because you know you're weekly floor in
Speaker 1: terms of production from your running backs is going to
Speaker 1: be really high. And the wide receiver position this year
Speaker 1: is something that I've noticed so far is very deep.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of really really talented wide receivers going
Speaker 1: into rounds four or five, six, seven. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent out there, so you're gonna
Speaker 1: be able to find a few wide receivers that have
Speaker 1: some breakout potential later on in your draft. I think
Speaker 1: it's just me personally, I would feel better with a
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper as my wide receiver too, But more often
Speaker 1: than not, that means that you know you're gonna take
Speaker 1: an RB in round one or or two, and then
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get your second running back until round four,
Speaker 1: So you know you're gonna have to weigh where you
Speaker 1: want to be a little bit weaker. But I would
Speaker 1: personally like a Marie Cooper Moore as my wide receiver
Speaker 1: to Greg fair enough. Alright, last question with Dallas is
Speaker 1: their quarterback? That's Dak Prescott. A lot of people like
Speaker 1: Dak coming in the last year. Uh, I don't feel
Speaker 1: like he was like whatever last year. I don't like
Speaker 1: have any like good or bad feeling about him. What
Speaker 1: do you think of these performance last year? What do
Speaker 1: you think of him this year? Both single quarterback and
Speaker 1: super flex leagues? I think that there are still question
Speaker 1: marks and when it comes to Dak Prescott in terms
Speaker 1: of as an actual NFL quarterback, Like if I were
Speaker 1: a Cowboys fan, I would be a little bit skeptical
Speaker 1: about giving Dak Prescott a monster extension, like you know
Speaker 1: he obviously wants and you know, if he performs well
Speaker 1: and they make it to the playoffs again, he might
Speaker 1: get it. But from a fantasy perspective, Greg, he's been
Speaker 1: really consistent. You know, each year he's been in the league,
Speaker 1: he's been a top twelve quarterback. I don't know that
Speaker 1: people realize that, and I think that he slept on
Speaker 1: a little bit too much. Uh. In a one quarterback league,
Speaker 1: I might want someone with a little bit more upside.
Speaker 1: But if I play in the two QB league or
Speaker 1: a super flex, I love Dak Prescott as my second
Speaker 1: quarterback or even as my you know, my starting quarterback.
Speaker 1: And then if I have a super flex that that's
Speaker 1: going in a similar range of him as you know,
Speaker 1: maybe like a Jamis Winstein or a Lamar Jackson or
Speaker 1: something like that. If I have two of those quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: I can live with that. I I could. I would
Speaker 1: be all right with that. He's had exactly six rushing
Speaker 1: touchdowns in each season he's been in the league. Greg,
Speaker 1: I don't really see why that would go away now.
Speaker 1: Helen Moore is the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: first time offensive coordinators, so we don't really have anything
Speaker 1: to go off of here. We can read about things
Speaker 1: that he wants to implement in the offense, but we
Speaker 1: don't have any history when it comes to Kellen Moore.
Speaker 1: You know, I'll talk about this with other teams, like
Speaker 1: when it comes to the when it comes to the
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, and who do they bring in as their
Speaker 1: their offensive Greg Roman. Yes, spoke about this a little
Speaker 1: bit earlier on the fandal hurry up. But we have
Speaker 1: history of Greg Roman, and we know, you know, things
Speaker 1: that he's done in his tendencies in the past. We
Speaker 1: don't have that when it comes to Kellen Moore. So
Speaker 1: it's it's a little bit harder to to project this
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys offense moving forward. But all in all, I
Speaker 1: like ka Marii Cooper a lot. He personally rather have
Speaker 1: him as my wide receiver too in fantasy. Like Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: I think he's a low one quarterback on high end
Speaker 1: quarterback to Ezekiel Elliott. He cemented as a top four
Speaker 1: pick in fantasy. I have some question marks about the
Speaker 1: reception total. Let's save that for another day. Great, absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm struggling here, all right. Absolutely, I'm a good buddy.
Speaker 1: I'm good. Let's take a break. Some major news NBA.

Speaker 1: why are you so cheery? What's going on in your
Speaker 1: mind right now? Honestly? I love this song alright? Oh man,
Speaker 1: shuck goes. I'm not to say I forgot and it's gone,
Speaker 1: and it's gone. I know I'm not allowed to sing,
Speaker 1: and so they cut that off real quick. I violated.
Speaker 1: I violated. That's why I cut it off, because I
Speaker 1: started saying, Greggy, no singing. It's amazingly I first of all,
Speaker 1: I heard that song, but are you going sing it now?
Speaker 1: So the first time I heard that song was was
Speaker 1: the hometown heller and he was like, do you know
Speaker 1: what song that samples? And I think and think and thing,
Speaker 1: and then it just clicks and I'm like, oh my god, Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know off the top of my head. Really
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, I mean, once you tell me, I
Speaker 1: might be able to figure it out. But day Danny's
Speaker 1: a resident musician. He knows, and you have a mic
Speaker 1: readily available to you downstairs. I do have a mic,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I know what song it
Speaker 1: sampled from. Yeah, I'm trying to. I don't know. All
Speaker 1: floats on all? Right? Oh really? Yeah? The show goes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's up? Yeah? I guess it makes sense. Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 1: As soon as that clicks for me, you're like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, that's awesome. Fun fact, I saw Modest Mouse
Speaker 1: live in concert once, not really what I was looking
Speaker 1: forward to, but they were opening at like a two day,
Speaker 1: week to day Metallica festival, so they were just like
Speaker 1: one of the bands that were there. It was like
Speaker 1: an old day event. So I was like, oh, cool,
Speaker 1: Modest Mouse. I guess I'll listen to float on and
Speaker 1: then leave. So he did. Basically it was great. Alright,
Speaker 1: alright floating along. Here we get to the NBA, where
Speaker 1: a lot happened over this weekend. Whre Quhiet Leonard finally
Speaker 1: made his decision, we found out how manipulative Quiet Letard
Speaker 1: really was. He pulled the clippers. I'm there, but I
Speaker 1: want Paul George with me, the st Paul George that
Speaker 1: decided not to go to l A last summer when
Speaker 1: he had the opportunity. Okay, see he said, Paul Jorgy talked,
Speaker 1: Paul Jordan said, let's do this together. You're the guy
Speaker 1: I want Paul George want. Okay, season trade me to
Speaker 1: l A now. And it worked. KWHI Leonard managed to
Speaker 1: screw over three franchises in the process. Ain, he screwed
Speaker 1: over the Lakers. That's not fair. You didn't screw the Lakers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. I mean, we don't know what
Speaker 1: happened behind closed doors, but a lot of people were
Speaker 1: talking about like he was closer to signing with the
Speaker 1: Lakers at one point than he was the Clippers. So
Speaker 1: if he gave them any indication that he was leaning
Speaker 1: towards going to them and then backed out of it,
Speaker 1: I would kind of count that and screwing them over.
Speaker 1: But we don't obviously know what screw the next and
Speaker 1: all he screwed the next That sucks, but I don't
Speaker 1: They didn't even get a meeting, so I wouldn't even Uh,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't really count that and screwing them over. But
Speaker 1: I'm prettyure Kwaile Leonard didn't meet with the Lakers though,
Speaker 1: so anyway, but he definitely screwed over the Thunder. It's
Speaker 1: definitely screwed over the Raptors. Fans are gonna say that
Speaker 1: they screwed them over, but we want them much, Fabian.
Speaker 1: I don't understand did he screw over the Thunder or
Speaker 1: he just expedite the rebuild because the Thunder as constructed,
Speaker 1: we saw it last year. Let's start out in the
Speaker 1: first round. Yeah, but that was flukey. They're a better
Speaker 1: team than that, Craig, and you know that. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much better they are. I guess. Look, your
Speaker 1: question is valid that as constructed, were was that? Okay?
Speaker 1: See Thunder team ever going to compete for a championship?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think so. I think if
Speaker 1: Hawaii Leonard ended up in l A by himself, or
Speaker 1: he was in Toronto, they might have had a fair
Speaker 1: shot in the Western Conference, made Maybee, I think, I
Speaker 1: think the West is I think the whole NBA is
Speaker 1: pretty much wide open right now. This is really excited
Speaker 1: what we wanted, which makes me want to get into
Speaker 1: these odds now. Right because the favorites to win the
Speaker 1: NBA Championship at about three to one, it's the Clippers
Speaker 1: who now have Kauahi Leonard and Paul George. Should they
Speaker 1: be I think the answer is yes, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think they should be this so then who should
Speaker 1: be the favorite? And the Milwaukee Bucks should be the favorites?
Speaker 1: Why is that? Because you have the Buck at six
Speaker 1: to one. They're the third favorite right now, behind both
Speaker 1: l A teams, Clippers and the Lakers. I don't want
Speaker 1: to talk about this from like a value based perspective,
Speaker 1: because I have a few that I like in terms
Speaker 1: of value. But I do think that you think that
Speaker 1: the Bucks should be the favorite favorite to win the
Speaker 1: NBA because to get to the NBA Finals, you gotta
Speaker 1: go through an entire conference, right The Clippers have a
Speaker 1: lot going on in that Western Curnference, a lot of
Speaker 1: teams at the face. In fact, you look at the
Speaker 1: odds and one, two, three, four, five out of the
Speaker 1: top seven teams according to the odds. The Vandal sports
Speaker 1: book cover the Western Conference. The books don't have to
Speaker 1: deal with that the Bucks were in the Eastern Conference
Speaker 1: finals last year and lost to a Kauai led Toronto team.
Speaker 1: Not to say that Philly didn't lose fairly, argue that
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conferences past year in the playoffs was even tougher,
Speaker 1: and Kawhi Leonard and I think the Eastern Conferences here
Speaker 1: was tougher than the Western Conference this past year. Maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know that you can guarantee that, though, like
Speaker 1: the Rockets were really good. The Warriors are obviously really good.
Speaker 1: The Nuggets were awesome. I don't know you can make
Speaker 1: that argument. I mean you can think the argument. That's
Speaker 1: a clear I would make that argument. That's fine. But
Speaker 1: I think the West uber competitive. The East, given that
Speaker 1: Kevin Ruant still a year away from returning. Boston is interesting.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia loses Jimmy Butler, Vick gets Alt Horford, that's that
Speaker 1: whole dynamics interesting definitely. But Milwaukee is the same team,
Speaker 1: and they lost Malcolm Brogden, but everybody else is back.
Speaker 1: It's the same team. We're running it back, we doing
Speaker 1: it again, and that team was good enough to have
Speaker 1: the best record in the NBA. That same exact team
Speaker 1: had the best record in the NBA last year. I
Speaker 1: don't really want to discount losing Malcolm Brock. He missed
Speaker 1: the entire last month of the year into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: but he was still a big piece of them having
Speaker 1: that record for most of the season. I mean what
Speaker 1: he provides defensively and his efficiency offensively as well. I
Speaker 1: don't want to downplay Malcolm Brogden being gone. They basically
Speaker 1: brought back every one and they have solid depth. They
Speaker 1: bring in Robin Lopez to back up his brother Brook
Speaker 1: Lopez as well. Um yeah, I mean they're rightfully so
Speaker 1: the favorites in the Eastern Conference. I think that makes
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. There might be some recency bias
Speaker 1: with these odds, just based on what we just saw
Speaker 1: with our eyes. I mean Kawhi Leonard literally take over
Speaker 1: the playoffs and be as amazing as he was. I
Speaker 1: mean he really put the team on his back. So yeah,
Speaker 1: there might be some recency bias there. But I think
Speaker 1: the way that this Clippers team is constructed right now.
Speaker 1: I understand it's the Western Conference is tough. I agree
Speaker 1: with you in that regard, Greg, but you have two
Speaker 1: top five players in the NBA right now, and Kawhi
Speaker 1: Leonard and Paul George who are going to be able
Speaker 1: to hold their own create their own shot. And then
Speaker 1: you have Lou Williams off the bench, who is perennial
Speaker 1: sixth Man of the Year. You have a really good
Speaker 1: defender in the middle in montros Harrold as well, and
Speaker 1: then you have Pat Beverley, who was a bulldog himself.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how teams are gonna score
Speaker 1: against him. Seriously, the defense is gonna be amazed. Awesome. Look,
Speaker 1: it's a cliche, but defense wins championships. We just saw
Speaker 1: it in the NBA Finals. Definitely, So I think the
Speaker 1: Clippers being the favorite is warranted based on the roster
Speaker 1: that they've put together so far. Okay, I stick by
Speaker 1: what I said. Obviously, for me, I would go, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Milwaukee Bucks. In between the Clippers
Speaker 1: and the Bucks six to one of the Bucks about
Speaker 1: three one of the Clippers are about five to one,
Speaker 1: four and a half to one. Uh, it's the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers with Anthony Davis and Lebron James. The question
Speaker 1: is you said before, Frank that Kawhi Leonard kind of
Speaker 1: screwed over the Lakers, and then I said, I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's true. Lakers definitely waited out Kawhi Leonard
Speaker 1: when he didn't sign. They signed all these other pieces,
Speaker 1: including DeMarcus Cousins, including Danny Green. They bring back Rajon
Speaker 1: Ronda had been bringing back Javann Legee. He's had enough
Speaker 1: around Anthony Davis and around Lebron James to win an
Speaker 1: NBA championship. I think it could be. I could see
Speaker 1: them being competitive and going deep into the postseason, what
Speaker 1: I'll say about the Lakers is I think the roster
Speaker 1: construction is kind of weird. They're based leave the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Pelicans for from a couple of years ago. With
Speaker 1: Lebron James, that helps obviously very much, you know, having
Speaker 1: the best player in the world maybe, but I just
Speaker 1: think that their roster construction is odd right now. What
Speaker 1: I will say is they have a lot of death
Speaker 1: and I like that because I think them not getting
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard actually was the best thing that happened for
Speaker 1: them greg because getting Danny Green, you get a two
Speaker 1: way players still, a very solid defender, a good shooters
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what Lebron needs around him. He needs
Speaker 1: good shooters on his team. I think getting Danny Green,
Speaker 1: I think bringing back k CP, someone who could come
Speaker 1: off the bench and he can play two ways as well.
Speaker 1: He could shoot from the outside, he could he could
Speaker 1: defend as well. They brought in Quinn Cook, which I
Speaker 1: think is an underrated acquisition for them because he could
Speaker 1: shoot from the outside. They still have Kyle Kuzman, they
Speaker 1: signed to Marcus Cousins, who can help. Overall, I still
Speaker 1: think it's a weird roster construction. But they have a
Speaker 1: lot of depth on this team. I like the way
Speaker 1: that they rebounded after not getting a superstar player. They
Speaker 1: brought in a lot of interesting pieces and they compete. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't think that they're gonna go to win the
Speaker 1: NBA Championship. Now will we come back? We'll take a
Speaker 1: look at some of our favorite bets right now as
Speaker 1: it stands to win the NBA Championship. I also want

Speaker 1: We took a look at the favorites to win the
Speaker 1: NBA Championship. That was the two l A teams and
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Bucks. But you said there's a couple of
Speaker 1: teams at their current price, it really stand out to
Speaker 1: you name your favorite. My favorite one as of right
Speaker 1: now would be the Utah Jazz at sixteen to one
Speaker 1: to win the NBA Finals next year. I really like
Speaker 1: what they've done in the off season. We knew that
Speaker 1: they needed offense. They're already really good defensively. They have
Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert, who is the reigning defensive player of the
Speaker 1: Year in the NBA. They sign Boyan Bogdanovitch, who is
Speaker 1: a twenty point per game score in the second half
Speaker 1: last season without Victor Aldipot on the Pacers, so we
Speaker 1: know that he could get buckets, and we know that
Speaker 1: he could shoot from the outside. And they also traded
Speaker 1: for Mike Conley, just a really really underrated trade here,
Speaker 1: because he's really good on both ends of the court
Speaker 1: and he could set other people up, he could create
Speaker 1: his own shot, and he could play a little bit
Speaker 1: of defense as well. So I really really like what
Speaker 1: the Utah Jaz have done, and I like their odds
Speaker 1: at sixteen to one. Greg how about you. For me,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go even a little bit lower because it's
Speaker 1: crazy to me. I talked to the books being a
Speaker 1: similar team and realized they lost again and maybe I
Speaker 1: underrated that, and that's fine. But I once again look
Speaker 1: at a similar team, and that's the Denver Nuggets, who
Speaker 1: are bringing back everybody. I also like the Denver Nuggets
Speaker 1: a lot is they are bringing back everybody and not
Speaker 1: missing anything there. And they're adding Michael Porter Jr. To
Speaker 1: their me he was already out for some relief. We
Speaker 1: hope he did trade with Jeremy Grant earlier today, I
Speaker 1: traded away next year's first round pick for Jeremy Grant,
Speaker 1: which would be defense on the wing. Absolutely, it's awesome.
Speaker 1: Twenty three to one for a team that finished second
Speaker 1: in the West last year and changed nothing. The chemistry
Speaker 1: is there? These teams really really good, went to Games
Speaker 1: seven with Portland last year? Are you getting them at
Speaker 1: to one better? To me? I like them better than
Speaker 1: Golden State. I like them better than Utah. I love
Speaker 1: the Nuggets here one better than Utah. Gregs. Come on,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. There was three that really stood out to me,
Speaker 1: and I would actually sorry cut off I also kind
Speaker 1: of like the Rockets sporteen to one, fourteen to one.
Speaker 1: In your apologize, all right, I mean, look, we've talked
Speaker 1: about we we just spoke about the thunder before and
Speaker 1: we said were they ever going to really win the
Speaker 1: way that their team was constructed? And I think that
Speaker 1: you can have the same questions about the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 1: Are they really ever gonna win the way that their
Speaker 1: team is currently constructed? I'm not so sure. There were
Speaker 1: three that really stood out to me that I liked
Speaker 1: in terms of their value, and I would be willing to,
Speaker 1: you know, play some wagers on these myself. Utah Todd
Speaker 1: the sixteen and one to Denver Nuggets to twenty three
Speaker 1: two one, and the Portland Trailbazers a thirty five type
Speaker 1: of thing. It's just really good odds. They bring back
Speaker 1: everybody and they add Hassan Whiteside. The reason why they
Speaker 1: did that is because Yusuf Nurkics had a serious, you know,
Speaker 1: leg injury last year. They don't know how he's going
Speaker 1: to return, if he's going to be himself once again,
Speaker 1: But even if he does come back, that's just added
Speaker 1: depth to this team. They would have Nurkics, who was
Speaker 1: a really good offensive player, and then Hassan Whiteside, who
Speaker 1: is a really good defensive player. So I like what
Speaker 1: the Portland Trail Blazers have done. They also brought in
Speaker 1: Kent Baysmore for that team, Greg, who was a little
Speaker 1: bit of a three n D player. They need a
Speaker 1: more defense on that team, and I think that they
Speaker 1: have added that in both Kent Baysmore and Hassan Whiteside.
Speaker 1: I'll throw something sneaky out there right now in case
Speaker 1: a trade were to happen, Greg, if Russell Westbrook were
Speaker 1: to be traded, there are three situations that make a
Speaker 1: lot of sense to me. The Detroit Pistons, the Orlando Magic,
Speaker 1: and the Miami Heat. That's the only one out of
Speaker 1: the team's you name is Miami Heat right now are
Speaker 1: five to one to win the NBA Finals. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying a team with Russell Westbrook and Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: is ideal team in Paul George and Russell Westbrock probably
Speaker 1: better than that, but they're in the Eastern Conference, which
Speaker 1: we have already established is an easier road to the
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. So maybe that's your bet. Like to come
Speaker 1: out of the Eastern Conference. You get the Miami Heat
Speaker 1: at thirty to one right now, which if they trade
Speaker 1: for Russell Westbrook, that that number is gonna shoot up
Speaker 1: a ton. So I'll just throw that out there right now.
Speaker 1: They did read about this and they said that the
Speaker 1: Heat just don't have much to give, that's the issue. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would just be a ton of draft picks. They've
Speaker 1: given up a lot already. Yeah, they would. You know,
Speaker 1: it would probably be like drag and maybe you justice
Speaker 1: Winslow to make the salaries work. There's no way the
Speaker 1: thunder A taking drug back. They have to move him somewhere.
Speaker 1: I know Simmons today on Twitter. Bill Simmons was going
Speaker 1: with three three team trade to send drugs to Dallas,
Speaker 1: but they were trying to get him. Yeah, Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: signing correct drugs to Dallas and and lift some protections
Speaker 1: on picks and the whole thing. But I've seen Miami
Speaker 1: thrown out there. Orlando. They are what they are. But
Speaker 1: they're starting point card right now is DJ Augustine. We'll
Speaker 1: see what happens with Markuel Fults. But if you had
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook to a team with Vouchovich and Aaron Gordon.
Speaker 1: All right, maybe they make some noise in the EAS,
Speaker 1: but I think that makes a lot of sense. And
Speaker 1: in Detroit just because I mean, they've just been a
Speaker 1: waste land and they're kind of wasting away. Blake Griffin
Speaker 1: and Andre Drummond on their team right now, and Reggie
Speaker 1: Jackson doesn't really move the needles going in Detroit though.
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound Does he have a say in the matter. No,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if he has no
Speaker 1: trade clause or not. I really don't do that in
Speaker 1: the NBA. But like, if he doesn't have a say,
Speaker 1: then you know, playing with Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin,
Speaker 1: it's not bad trade for him. Well, he just signed
Speaker 1: Ricky Rubio to three years fifty one million Phoenix idiots. Yes,
Speaker 1: they are very dumb. That would have been fun him
Speaker 1: and Devin Booker together with DeAndre Eten. Okay, let's do that.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen now. UM and K Knicks are
Speaker 1: probably gonna trade R. J. Barrett and like all their
Speaker 1: picks because it's the most New York Nixed thing ever. Definitely.
Speaker 1: Russell westbrook In is aged thirty fourth season, which is
Speaker 1: the last year of that contract, making forty two million dollars. Greg,
Speaker 1: that has the Knicks written all over it. They just
Speaker 1: have one of those millions. You know, we keep getting
Speaker 1: better at the Craig, then maybe one day someone will
Speaker 1: offer us the big bucks. I'll take fifty bucks. Let
Speaker 1: me get to the NFL here. And we mentioned the
Speaker 1: n f C East earlier, and I had the NFC
Speaker 1: East odds in front of me, Frank, do you what
Speaker 1: you guess what they are? I would guess that right now,
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles are the favorite to win the NFC
Speaker 1: East at um m hmm, Well, there's only four teams.
Speaker 1: I'll say they are a like plus one fifty favorite
Speaker 1: minus one fifteen. I mean, I wasn't that far off.
Speaker 1: I was good. I was gonna say minus one fifty,
Speaker 1: but then I changed it to plus heavy favorites, the
Speaker 1: Eagles minus one fifteen. Who's next, the Dallas Cowboys at Well,
Speaker 1: if the the Eagles you said are minus one fifteen,
Speaker 1: I'll say the Cowboys are plus one seventy five plus
Speaker 1: came up as pretty close. Giants and Redskins are both
Speaker 1: ten to one to win it all. In the NFC
Speaker 1: eased to have to place your wager on one of
Speaker 1: those teams, would you do? Mm hmm the the value
Speaker 1: based draft, and me says to go with the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: although I mean it's not really that far off. You
Speaker 1: don't really have to lay much much on the On
Speaker 1: the Eagles. It's near even money if you think that
Speaker 1: they're that good. I saw have questions about the Eagles
Speaker 1: defense from last year. From what I saw. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're still gonna be really good upfront, but how's that
Speaker 1: secondary going to be? So I have question marks about
Speaker 1: the Eagles defense. But you know, as we said in
Speaker 1: the first hour, I think their offense is gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1: Assuming that Carson Wentz can stay healthy. That offensive line,
Speaker 1: coupled with those wide receivers and Zach Earth and Dallas
Speaker 1: Goddard and bringing Miles Sanders and training for Jordan Howard,
Speaker 1: that offense is gonna be electric. And I think the
Speaker 1: defense should be able to do enough. So if I
Speaker 1: had to place a wager, it would probably be on
Speaker 1: the Eagles. But there is some downside, like if Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz gets hurt, Greg, I mean, the Dallas Cowboys can
Speaker 1: easily take over this division. I was looking at the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys schedule before the show. They do have some
Speaker 1: tough out of division matchups this year, like they have
Speaker 1: to face the Patriots, they have to face the Vikings,
Speaker 1: the Packers, so I think they have to face the
Speaker 1: Saints as well. It's not the easiest schedule for the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. They have a first place schedule because of
Speaker 1: where they were at last year. But I do think
Speaker 1: that this is a two team race. I think the
Speaker 1: Eagles probably win the division assuming Carson Wentz stays healthy,
Speaker 1: but there is some downside because he couldn't legitimately get hurt.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking for me? I like the even money.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Eagles here minus one fifteen and
Speaker 1: know the odds aren't great. I don't feel any which
Speaker 1: way about Washington or the Giants, and I don't think Dallas.
Speaker 1: I think Dallas under Kelly Moore's gonna be a really
Speaker 1: interesting change there. We'll see what that defense, that they
Speaker 1: could do it again another year. Are are people under
Speaker 1: rating that? Craig? The fact that they have a first
Speaker 1: year offensive coordinator on this team, Jason Garrett, still there
Speaker 1: a role in the offense. Offensive They're gonna be they're
Speaker 1: gonna work together for their offensive game planning. But Kelen
Speaker 1: Moore is going to call plays? Is he not? It
Speaker 1: would believe so Scott lyn had totally gone from there. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be interesting. It's gonna look the pieces
Speaker 1: are in place, And honestly, the Cowboys might have the
Speaker 1: more complete team than the Eagles, because I think that
Speaker 1: their defense is probably better than the Eagles, but the
Speaker 1: offense for the Eagles is better than the Cowboys. But
Speaker 1: just all around, I think I think that the Cowboys
Speaker 1: are a more complete team. But the way that the
Speaker 1: NFL is trending right now, it's who has the better
Speaker 1: offense right now, at least in the regular season though,
Speaker 1: that's the team more often than not that's going to
Speaker 1: win the most games and and more than likely win
Speaker 1: the division. And I think that the Philadelphia Eagles do
Speaker 1: have the best offense in that division. Greg, Okay, so
Speaker 1: I agree the Eagles probably the favorites here. That's whether
Speaker 1: listen as the favorites over So I like the bet there.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break when we come back here.
Speaker 1: On the BFFs move over to the home run derby.
Speaker 1: Frandy was excited for this. It's tonight the MLB Home
Speaker 1: Run Derby from Jacobs Field in Cleveland, the field itself,

Speaker 1: home run Derby tonight? You watch your homeward nervy guy.
Speaker 1: I do like the home run Derby. I have a
Speaker 1: wreck League basketball game tonight at a fifteen. If anyone
Speaker 1: wants to come out in Brooklyn and watch. I had
Speaker 1: a kickball game tonight, and they one wants to come
Speaker 1: from the Riverside parking watch. I don't, but all right,
Speaker 1: I would have liked to watch the home run Derby.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll catch the end of it normally. Yes, I
Speaker 1: do like to. Do you like to partake? How about you? Grady?
Speaker 1: Do you like the home run Derby? I like how
Speaker 1: they've done it the past couple of years. I used
Speaker 1: to I like. I like what they're doing with the
Speaker 1: time limit. I think it adds, you know, an extra
Speaker 1: element of surprise of entertainment. I like what they've done
Speaker 1: with it. I've always really liked the home run Derby,
Speaker 1: but specifically this version of it has been awesome. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: do year Josh Howidson hit like thirty home runs in
Speaker 1: around and didn't took forever and then he didn't even win,
Speaker 1: which was like the dumbest thing. So they needed to
Speaker 1: change it, and they did, and I actually like I
Speaker 1: like how it's worked out the past couple of years.
Speaker 1: A man Bryce won it last year. Yeah, absolutely cool.
Speaker 1: So let's let's break this down, Frank, you said it
Speaker 1: was easy between the ALE and n L. Bet. The
Speaker 1: a L is uh plus one, National League minus one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is free money for you tonight, the National League
Speaker 1: at minus one because for me, the top three to
Speaker 1: win this, I would personally have it. Pete Alonso, Josh
Speaker 1: Bell and Jack Peterson, those are all in the NL. Frank,
Speaker 1: That's why I like the National League at minus one twenty.
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't even have to lay that much either.
Speaker 1: And I you know, I think that one of those
Speaker 1: three guys is gonna win it tonight, So I feel
Speaker 1: great about that bad. I mean, it's you know, it's
Speaker 1: nearly even money. Pete Alonzo in his debut in the
Speaker 1: home run derby the favorite tonight. I mean, why wouldn't
Speaker 1: he be. He's basically Aaron Judge who won it last year. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was. And I don't mind him not defending it either,
Speaker 1: because we don't need that noise. We're focused on winning
Speaker 1: a championship World Series. They stay there to stay helly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about you straining and oblique
Speaker 1: or anything. But even before I saw the odds come out,
Speaker 1: I'd did this bracket challenge on MLB dot com where
Speaker 1: you basically just picked the winner of each matchup, and
Speaker 1: I had Pete Alonzo winning at all. That's before even
Speaker 1: you know, knew that he was the favorite, so or
Speaker 1: before these odds were even out. So yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I think Pete Alonso is the guy to win it tonight.
Speaker 1: At three and a half to one, I guess he's
Speaker 1: just cranking it man. Yeah, I actually have my bracket
Speaker 1: challenges those two in the finals, so you know, he
Speaker 1: throws a little wrench in things when it comes to
Speaker 1: the National League versus the American League. But I think
Speaker 1: that you have three really really good options in Pete Alonso,
Speaker 1: Josh Bell, and Jock Peterson. So if you want to
Speaker 1: bet that, you know where does the winner come from?
Speaker 1: A L or n L. I think I still do
Speaker 1: think that the NL ist Vladimir Guerrero versus Peter Alonso
Speaker 1: is the favorite on fan duel to be the finals.
Speaker 1: Should be an odds maker, look at that is the favorite.
Speaker 1: I had that as my finals. Very cool, very very funny.
Speaker 1: Um so I do you want to do this? What
Speaker 1: do you want to do? I think we should draft.
Speaker 1: I think we should draft, and then we'll get into
Speaker 1: these matchups and think does that make sense? Okay, do
Speaker 1: you want first pick or next time? Um wie before
Speaker 1: you answer that question. It was really interesting now that
Speaker 1: we were all so used to snake drafts when you're
Speaker 1: back on the playground, right, you know, first or next two,
Speaker 1: and then it would go one on one one. That's
Speaker 1: how drafts used to worry. Yes, But now because we're
Speaker 1: all used to snake drafts, people think it goes one
Speaker 1: to two to like the end. So we did a
Speaker 1: um but for my batchelor party next weekend, we did
Speaker 1: a room draft and the just the person that had
Speaker 1: next two all right, I'll think the next two just
Speaker 1: assumed that he would get to be the next person
Speaker 1: get one pick not too, And then it was like
Speaker 1: a whole controversy surrounding it. So I want to make
Speaker 1: it clear, what are what are we doing? The person
Speaker 1: that has next to does he get the does the
Speaker 1: next person get the two after that? Or one one
Speaker 1: one one? Well, what's the fairest thing to do? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Eight to me you're at a disadvantage of
Speaker 1: not getting the first pick. That's what you get next too.
Speaker 1: For you next person get two picks and then it
Speaker 1: just goes back and back. Yeah, so I'll get first,
Speaker 1: you take the next two, and we'll go one perfect.
Speaker 1: So I will take Pete Alonzo. Okay, cool, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take Vladimir Guerrero Jr. And it's interesting because it might
Speaker 1: just give you Josh Bell. That's that's why I didn't mind,
Speaker 1: because I'm either gonna get Bell or John Peterson, and
Speaker 1: I really like both of them, saying, you know, I
Speaker 1: like John Peterson too. I will let you in on
Speaker 1: a little tidbit, and Sean Guassamakia actually let me in
Speaker 1: on this. Coming up next, I'm correct with that. Right
Speaker 1: at the window, I'm still you know, I'm still learning
Speaker 1: to schedule myself four to five pm. Coming up next
Speaker 1: on the Fantasy Sports Network, Sean Guassamakia will go through
Speaker 1: the home run derby. I believe he has another team preview,
Speaker 1: but he reminded me that the Cleveland favors left handed
Speaker 1: batters Greg because there's a big wall in left field right,
Speaker 1: so for right he's that pull. It's a little bit harder.
Speaker 1: So that's why he was a little bit off. Pete Alonso.
Speaker 1: He looked into some of the stat cast numbers and
Speaker 1: I calmed him down a little bit, but he yeah.
Speaker 1: He basically he was like, yeah, it's easier for a
Speaker 1: left you to win this seat tonight. Josh Bell is
Speaker 1: a switch hitter, but I assume he'll hit from the left.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the guy I want, and now you want Peterson.
Speaker 1: I'll take Lad and Jock, all right, so I will
Speaker 1: take Josh Bell. All right, you're up next. You have
Speaker 1: the two favorites in this tourn in this tournament, I
Speaker 1: like my odds here tonight. Craig agreed, all right, up next,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with I think Alex Bregman. I'm actually
Speaker 1: gonna go a little bit off the grid here. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the hometown Carlos Santana home run inter though
Speaker 1: they know this year's I'll run in even general he's not.
Speaker 1: We'll find out here to night. I would not see
Speaker 1: that coming because I was hoping to get either Chapman
Speaker 1: or a Kunia. And now you have to you gotta
Speaker 1: break the tie, Gregg, who do you want? I didn't
Speaker 1: want to break. I'll take either one. They're both your boys.
Speaker 1: I love both of you, Matt Chapman and Ronny. I
Speaker 1: there's someone who I want a little bit more, but
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you. I gathered, oh Man, because
Speaker 1: I can see like Matt Chapman like dominating, or it
Speaker 1: can see him just laying an egg, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Oh, I know, Greg, I'm gonna take Ronald Launa.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Ronald. That is who I wanted. Uh
Speaker 1: you are you writing this damage? Yeah, I'm writing that
Speaker 1: all of our picks. Um. I just think that Ronald
Speaker 1: Lacunia is swing is a little bit more free and easy.
Speaker 1: Power comes us very easily to them. The ball just
Speaker 1: jumps off the bat um. And I think that the
Speaker 1: youth there, I mean, they're both young guys, but Ronald
Speaker 1: Duney is a little bit younger. I didn't you have
Speaker 1: to look towards someone who has stamina in an event
Speaker 1: like this to be able to like last long into
Speaker 1: the event. And I think Ronal dad Cuney is actually
Speaker 1: a sleeper in that regard as well. I like Matt
Speaker 1: Chapman a lot, don't get me wrong, but I would
Speaker 1: have rather had a Kunya. Alright, so not so hold on,
Speaker 1: I feel like you messed up this draft a little bit. Then,
Speaker 1: Why did he wanted Ronald Kuna? How did you know
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna take Carlos santa I didn't. I didn't
Speaker 1: know that you were gonna take it. And Sean kind
Speaker 1: of talked me into the whole lefties in Cleveland. So
Speaker 1: I wanted my shot at two lefties. He got that
Speaker 1: in he knows his hometown field. I got that in
Speaker 1: Josh Bell and Carlos Santama, two switch hitters. But I
Speaker 1: assume that they're gonna bat lefty. You don't know that
Speaker 1: match that. I gotta get a lefty thrown batting practice
Speaker 1: tonight and then start batting righty. Your whole shot that happens, Sean,
Speaker 1: You're dead to me. Your whole strategy is at the window,
Speaker 1: I mean out the window. Time to move on, Greg, alright, alright,
Speaker 1: first round matchos? Oh, Frank, did you words facing each
Speaker 1: other in the first round? Probably should look at this,
Speaker 1: That would have been smart. You're probably right. Is your
Speaker 1: first round MATCHO is Pete Alonzo versus Carlos Tanna, So
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna have more eggs in the basket to
Speaker 1: win tonight? Is that correct? Well, you have Alex Bergman
Speaker 1: against jocks do that's the only matter. And we have
Speaker 1: our my Chapman versus your flat and then my Josh
Speaker 1: Bell versus your Ronald Kunia. That's right, that's right, So
Speaker 1: having to both of us, so I should have taken matter. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm glad your first round pick Pete Alonzo. I guess
Speaker 1: Carlos Santana Antana a heavy dog here? Uh yeah, it's not. Look,
Speaker 1: is it in possible for Carlo Santana to end up
Speaker 1: winning tonight? It's he's plus one seventy to defeat Pete Alonzo. No,
Speaker 1: he knows the ballpark and you know that gives him
Speaker 1: at least some slight advantage here. But I do think
Speaker 1: Pete Alonso overall is the better, better power hitter. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't touch this one on one because there's just not
Speaker 1: really much value in Pete Alonzo winning winning this one
Speaker 1: on one against Carlos Antana. Anyway, Greg, onto the next one.
Speaker 1: Onto the next one we go, and that is your
Speaker 1: Josh Bell taking on my r A. J Ronald CuNi Jr.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about this one? Greggy. Again, it's
Speaker 1: not impossible that Ronald Ducunia can defeat Josh Bell. Josh
Speaker 1: Bell before this season and it wasn't really known as
Speaker 1: a home run hitter. But he's raised launch hang a
Speaker 1: little bit this year, probably not touching, and he is
Speaker 1: out of this entire field. He actually has the highest
Speaker 1: average eggs of lssity this season according to Stadcast. So again,
Speaker 1: Josh Bell is a favorite here at minus one seventy
Speaker 1: against the CUNA, I think for for good reason. All right,
Speaker 1: we get to the next matchup. It's Alex Bregman versus
Speaker 1: John Peterson minus the air something. It's funny, but I
Speaker 1: will not do that on the air, Okay, alright, Uh
Speaker 1: Peterson as much raman one oh five John Peterson. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's just gonna crush the ball from the left side tonight,
Speaker 1: obviously facing off against the righty. It's gonna amazing. It'll
Speaker 1: be great if he had a lefty throw to him,
Speaker 1: just like he told the Dodgers, suck it. I can't
Speaker 1: hit lefties. We were talking about this downstairs and the
Speaker 1: reason why we came to the conclusion that Jock is
Speaker 1: gonna do really well on this because we were like, hey,
Speaker 1: no one's stirring him curveballs and be There's no lefties
Speaker 1: in this event, so he's gonna be just fine. He's
Speaker 1: getting right handed batting practice meatballs. J Peterson's gonna kill it,
Speaker 1: of course he is. Alex Bergman's done this before, he's
Speaker 1: been here. Alex Bregman has And you know I told
Speaker 1: you about the highest average exit velocity in this event. Um,
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman has the highest launch angle on average so
Speaker 1: far this season in this event, according to stack cast.
Speaker 1: I think that's why his batting average is a little
Speaker 1: bit on this year great, because he's trying a little
Speaker 1: bit too much to hit the ball in the air,
Speaker 1: which has just led to a lot of easy flyball outs.
Speaker 1: I would still with Jock here in this matchup. Alright,
Speaker 1: final matchups. Matt Chapman, who you would drafted hers is
Speaker 1: my first round pick. Vladimir Guerrero Junior Vladi Daddy Jr.
Speaker 1: Against Chapman. This is one that I would touch. I
Speaker 1: would sprinkle on Chapman chatting at plus one five. You
Speaker 1: know the power potential here lad in his first home
Speaker 1: run during he could be a little anxious, kind of
Speaker 1: like Chapman plus and Chapman is having a far better
Speaker 1: year than Lad exactly. I understand what Vlad is capable
Speaker 1: of doing. He has the hardest hit ball so far
Speaker 1: this season, so he's probably gonna put on a show.
Speaker 1: And we've seen the videos of him doing batting practice,
Speaker 1: and he hits the ball extremely hot, hard, he hits
Speaker 1: the ball extremely far. So there's a reason why he's
Speaker 1: the favorite at minus five. But I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Out of the all the matchups, here's my favorite one
Speaker 1: to sprinkle on the underdog. It's Matt Chapman. Chapmans in better,
Speaker 1: like you said, and what is he? I think he
Speaker 1: has twenty home on in the season already so far
Speaker 1: this year, and he was someone who was consistently over
Speaker 1: thirty home runs in the minors. Now he's sacrifice a
Speaker 1: little bit of power at the major league level to
Speaker 1: improve his batting average, Greg, but we know deep down
Speaker 1: he still has that power in him. Absolutely Okay, So
Speaker 1: the last thing we need to do is bet the
Speaker 1: finalist the favorite, and Frank, he mentioned this before you
Speaker 1: is one that you want plus six century to get
Speaker 1: Vladdie versus Pete Alonso. Um the big is underdog tonight
Speaker 1: is Vladimir Guerrero Junior against Carlos Santana. But there there's
Speaker 1: no bad bet here though, because you're getting great value
Speaker 1: on all of these. Obviously you need a lot of
Speaker 1: different things to happen. To me, I think that the
Speaker 1: your best bet is Jack Peterson. I agree. I think
Speaker 1: that's the best most value of the bet, and I
Speaker 1: hope that happens tonight because then it would be me
Speaker 1: versu in the finals. It was just what like our
Speaker 1: guys in the finals. It would be cool because we
Speaker 1: know who wins the lunch, but we gotta have one
Speaker 1: of my guys versus one of your guys. Totally agree, totally,
Speaker 1: so John versus Peter Wands. So that's the bet tonight
Speaker 1: plus one thousand. All right, So there you go. That's
Speaker 1: going on tonight. I got a kickball game tonight. As
Speaker 1: I mentioned, what are the odds in that one? So
Speaker 1: it's really interesting because hometown Heller is on his honeymoon.
Speaker 1: Is he one of your star players and the captain?
Speaker 1: He is your star player? He Well, just because you're
Speaker 1: the captain doesn't mean you're the best player. Is he
Speaker 1: the best player? Yes? Our story center fielder, our hitry
Speaker 1: and her number three hitter. Yeah, yeah, okay, So he's
Speaker 1: the one who drives into the bumping Greg and comes
Speaker 1: up with and comes up with like the lineup in
Speaker 1: the fielding and all that stuff. Oh gosh, So who's
Speaker 1: doing all that tonight? Is he you? Oh? Replacement captain Greggy?
Speaker 1: I'm there, so I assume you're still leading off, leaning off? Okay?
Speaker 1: Is Judy playing tonight? Jud He's not. Okay, Judy's out.
Speaker 1: So you would have easily moved her up in the odor.
Speaker 1: I would not. Probably, you don't want to end up
Speaker 1: in a doghouse. I told her first day. She's just like,
Speaker 1: why am I moving up? If you had to set
Speaker 1: odds for your chance to win tonight, Greg, what would
Speaker 1: it be, Frank, Tonight you're winning might is five favorites.
Speaker 1: We're not losing tonight. I can't say the same thing
Speaker 1: from us. All Right, it's been a blast glass The
Speaker 1: Mokia is up next. You'll get a little bit of
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. Caught up in a bit, but
Speaker 1: coming up here on our stream gets out the window
Speaker 1: of Frank stable on. Greg Susman makes so much joining
Speaker 1: us on our new time. We'll do it all in
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we hope
