0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>sol planned for today. Obviously, gonna recap a lot of

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday action. What happened yesterday? Tyler Glass now all of

0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a sudden is awesome, not walking the world getting a

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>ton of strikeouts. J al To, he's legit. He's back.

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>He's back just in time to uh completely mash the Yankees.

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>So that's great. Get four home runs in a in

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a three game series. So we'll talk a little bit

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 1>about Tove. I was doubting before the season, so we'll

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>get more into that injury updates with inside injuries. But

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>before all that, welcome in Greg. I was doing just

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 1>on a different mic. That was the thing I had.

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I had a mic that was not on and I

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>was doing and I was just like this, this is

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>not working properly, and we're here, what's up? Man? Actually?

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>How did I sleep? Pretty good? Not the best, not

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.399
<v Speaker 1>the worst. I was very tired, very tired all week,

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and I was sleeping like I was just thinking deep

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>sleeps all night, but I would wake up. I woke

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>up like three twenty two. I woke up at five

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty two, and I was just like I was in

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>just such deep sleeps. Man. So you feel good. I

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>feel very good. I feel like I've gotten good sleepers

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 1>this week. I'm happy to hear that. Did you drink

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of beers last night? Or just it's random

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>good sleep? You know what? I think? It was just

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 1>like the vaka sauce, the vodka sauce, vodka sauce, a

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit, a little bit extra in there, knock you

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit. No, no, copacola, copacle No, no,

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It was great and then you had

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>vodka sauce last night. You didn't bring me anything in today,

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing left, but all right. Yeah, I don't know

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the night though, because I don't know what a vodka sauce.

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh many figure it out. Um. Yeah, so I said, well,

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>things were good. I watched The Yankee last night. I

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>was texting you back and forth that some Frankie Mantas

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>stats as well. And it's not the greatest, but not

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the worst. I believe it's called I believe it's called quality.

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Frankie wasn't bad. It wasn't at all getting Frankie Montas

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:24.399
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Um it was. And also my man

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Nick market Vicious we will get into as well. If

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.920
<v Speaker 1>only he could face the giants every start, Gregor, Oh

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe he does knows You never know, Marcious, why not. Nevertheless,

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>it was a fun night. I watched a lot of baseball,

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>watched the Little Holiday Baking Championship as well, a little

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>or a lot. The only one said, only one episode,

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>just a little and that was it. It was just

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>a little sprinkle. Oh you know what I also watched

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>last night before baseball started, watched brock Meyer. You watched

0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>brock Meyer. Uh oh oh it's so good, so good.

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>What is brock Mark Myers Hank Gazara as a drunk

0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>uh baseball announcer who's an alcoholic who's just out of

0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>his mind as a baseball announcer and working his way

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>back up after a mental breakdown. It's hysterical. I think

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>of it kind of like eastbounding Down, but instead of

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 1>a watched up picture, he's sort of a watched up broadcaster. Yep,

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 1>sounds interesting. I feel like I've seen it's on i

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>f C. I feel like I've seen commercials regarding the

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>probably so for last season, like he was all over.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>He was everywhere doing interviews. Every radio show in the

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 1>world had him, Like, I'm sure Sean who I think

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>we're go out for lunch. I'm sure Sean had him,

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>booked him on shows that he was producing. Good. Oh,

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 1>it's great, it's great, hysterical. So do you watch it

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>on DVR? Do they have it on? Uh? So? I

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>watched it when I caught up through the first two seasons.

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I think he was just on demand. To be honest

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.799
<v Speaker 1>with you, just watched it normally. The new season started

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>last week, so I watched last week's episode last night

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'll probably watch last night's episode tonight. Very funny.

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a half hour, it's really a twenty it's really

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>like twenty. It's like only twenty minutes long. It's really quick.

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>And somebody who doesn't like baseball enjoy the show or

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>not really. I think, so you're the one. You don't

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>like baseball, Okay, because if I proposed it to we

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.480
<v Speaker 1>watched it together. She likes. I think she likes baseball

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>enough to like baseball. It's probably actually her favorite sport. Yeah,

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 1>so I think it's it's hysterical, okay, showing it up

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>until the half hour. Yeah, it's easy to watch, really easy.

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>And I tried doing his action. I'm Jim rock Barr,

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.040
<v Speaker 1>but I can't do it. It's a it's Southern draw,

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's Jim Rockmar. I'm not even attendive because I've

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>never seen it, so I have no idea. But it

0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sound bad than what I'm hearing. Thank you, Jim

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>rock Mar. All right, So yeah, that's going on. I'm

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>excited to talk to Virginia. A lot of injuries to

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>get to. No major injuries last night, right beside J Ruse,

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I guess J Bruce with Travis Shaga hit in the

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 1>handle as well, So see what happens with that. Michael

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Stockis slid over to third base when that hurt, and

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>then they put air on Perez Man at second. But yeah,

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>and Jay Bruce with the achilles. You know, if if

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Big Dan wasn't a must add before went for nine

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 1>dollars last night out of a hundred home league sell

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>it on Twitter to Michael Florio on Twitter, nine out

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of do you think that's fair? Is that a good amount?

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I would guess Jay Bruce probably lands on the I

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>L I don't know. He says he's a Veld pinch

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>hit man. You think, okay, because you know they've been

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to we spoke about this the past couple of days.

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 1>They've been trying to find ways to get all three

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>of those guys in the lineup, Jay Bruce, Dan vogel

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Box and Edwin and Carnacion. And I'll tell you this

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>right now, Dan Vogebok is not playing the outfield, So

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>that means, uh, Jay Bruce has been playing the outfield

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, and that's probably why his achilles is sore,

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 1>because it's not us still running around in the outfield

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 1>as much anymore. He's normally D eight that's right, you know,

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:04.839
<v Speaker 1>playing first pace for the Mariners. So these types of

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 1>things might happen once they start putting him in the field.

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>The this is crazy is baseball related? Body Kebox out

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:19.239
<v Speaker 1>of his mind? Pay Dare really the King's head coach.

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Just like that, that just happened. It's firing him meeting

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.040
<v Speaker 1>He's consolidating his power because you know, all this getting

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>new power. Interesting. I was a little bit. I was

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of critical of of Dave Yeager early on in season.

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't really playing a lot of the King's young

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>players in the years passed like they signed Zach Randolf.

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if that was not something that he

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do, but just because they signed him doesn't

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 1>mean you have to play. But they didn't do that

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 1>this year. Last year was very frustrating because they were

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>playing all these old guys like Darren Fox was barely playing.

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>They signed George Hilly. It was just very weird. That

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>was critical of Dave Yager last year. I thought he

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>did a better job this season. It seems weird springing

0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>up right, what you want your young players to grow

0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>with the coach again, that's our NBA action for now.

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>You just fin now. More later on on the NBA's

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Twitch channel, the NBA Fantasy Hour, where we will preview

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the NBA Playoffs, play a little fantasy feud. Um, we'll

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>talk about whatever else is going on fantasy wise, right,

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 1>probably like season and review whatever. Yeah, the little fantasy

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 1>feud probably been been a season of review. Spoiler alert. Um,

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the category. I don't know what to study.

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I haven't done the categories yet, so you know, but

0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>it'll be a playoff preview and season review more. That's

0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it'll be the whole show. So that'll be the Twitch

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.839
<v Speaker 1>show NBA Twitch channel, starting at five pm night. It

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.839
<v Speaker 1>looks in baseball. Let's do it. We're talking base ball.

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:48.800
<v Speaker 1>This is Greg's favorite talking baseball. And before we talk, basically,

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>we want to remind you each and every Friday, for

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>just two bucks, you we're just beating the fantasy best

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>friends forever. Please join contact because I finished in first

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 1>last week and we didn't have enough people for it

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to run. For Monny, I think it might the cutoff

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.520
<v Speaker 1>might be sixteen, because I've seen a few times sixteen,

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 1>seventeen or eighteen people and it's actually run for money.

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>We had fifteen last week. I finished in first place

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 1>by far in first place, and I didn't win any money. Greg,

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>he's not enough people signed the way that it works. Again,

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.559
<v Speaker 1>I'll remind you what are your friends tab on fandel.

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>If you joined this last week, you're already in the contest.

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>All you have to do is set your line up

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of a weird way that these made up leagues

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>on FANDUL work. But unless I can figure out some

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>way differently to run this, Greg, this is how it's

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be. If you want to invite, please tweet

0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 1>at me at road on the score. Frank, let me

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>know what your fandel user name is. I will send

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you an invite. Please. We want this to run for

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>money tomorrow. Be fun. Not that it wasn't fun anyway,

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 1>dominating you guys as always, but it would have been

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>more funny. You didn't get money. It didn't happen, Frank,

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>it did happen. I can. I can pull the scores

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.959
<v Speaker 1>and let you know exactly what it had seem like

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 1>everyone in my line. I hit a home run. Definitely

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>go finish in the last place tomorrow. I was terrible.

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>It runs for money. No, I knew it wasn't for money,

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.079
<v Speaker 1>So I just need to make a great lineup, I think, Yeah,

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>And and that's exactly why I made a great lineup.

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Greg was like, oh, yeah, there's nothing on the line

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty much. That's why the guys you tout wars, right,

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 1>What why they do tout wars? What do you mean?

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>There's no money on the line, So they just you know,

0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>make good lineups for fun. There you go, joke fantasy, BFF, Spanduel.

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 1>If you're not you already just left Franker, I know,

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>and Frank will get you in. It's probably just left

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.719
<v Speaker 1>Frank now. Yeah, because Greg's not really a man of

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the people, and very much a man of the people.

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>I love the people and they love me. Were gonna

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:37.439
<v Speaker 1>start with baseball stuff, Greg, Um, what do I want

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to start? What was the big thing that I was

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 1>paying attention to do last night? Um? We talked about

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>j Bruce a little bit like it just let stuck

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>with the Mariners, Jab Bruse, heart as Achilles and Domingo

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Santana who had the day off. He wound up coming

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>in the game, but for Seattle yesterday. Ultimately, there will

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>start stopping them. All they do is win, no matter what.

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Six to they take down the Royals as your boy,

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>aff Andy swore Zack gets a win, Frank, Yeah, he

0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>pitched in the eighth ending yesterday because the game was tied,

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 1>So of course they use their best reliever when they

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>needed most. You subscribe to that theory, now, No, they

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.240
<v Speaker 1>used him in the eighth ending because the game was

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>tied at the time, so it was quite I don't

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.679
<v Speaker 1>have the answer, not Scott surveys, but they take the

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 1>lead in the ninth end. He ends up getting the

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>win and the Rouennius Alias comes in for the save

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>in the ninth Personally, I'm not really worried about this.

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't a matchup thing because there was a ton

0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 1>of right he's do up and rhonas Alias kind of

0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>got himself in trouble too, like the one thing you

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>should never do if you're a picture, greg is walk

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Billie Hamilton's and rhonas Elias walked Billie Hamilton's. I really

0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 1>just don't think that he's that great of a picture,

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and not saying that Swarzak is the best of all time,

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 1>but I think he's the best reliever in this bullpen,

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and I still do subscribe to the theory that he

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 1>is the closer for his team. Fair enough. I mean, listen,

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>two nights in a row, picks, but winning to save

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:05.839
<v Speaker 1>if you have them in your lineup. This week, you're

0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>feeling pretty damn good about Anthony swarzak Um For this

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Mariner's team. Everybody in the lineup had a hit except

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>one person, Big Dan, Big, Dan Vogel back everybody else

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.520
<v Speaker 1>on it. Yeah, he still had an RBI, you know,

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Batting fifth in this lineup right now, it's I never

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.360
<v Speaker 1>thought I would say this this year. It's a very

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>desirable spot to be being the fifth hitter in the

0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Mariner's lineup because you have essentially two leadoff hitters. Once

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 1>the lineup turns over, you have de Gordon and and

0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Alex Smith nine and one, and then you have Haneger

0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and then even if it's not Jay, it's Mingo Santana

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>and then Edwin and Carnascione. Adding fifth in Mariners lineup

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.720
<v Speaker 1>is a very desirable spot to be in right now.

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>So Dan vogel Box especially, you know, given the information

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:54.959
<v Speaker 1>or lack that of that we have regarding j Bruce.

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Right now, Dan vogel Box is a must add in fantasy,

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and Tim Beckham right behind him has been great. He

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.599
<v Speaker 1>returned to the line up yesterday he was dealing with

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.840
<v Speaker 1>an injury. Steals a base as well, his first of

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the season. No, Man, I wish you should. I wish

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>for you. You stayed on Alex Man. You had that

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>one right. I was crushing you, you know what. To

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 1>be perfectly honest, Greg, I got off players because during

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:20.079
<v Speaker 1>the spring, during spring training, who were hurt, the guys

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 1>that were dealing with injury. I just was off because

0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do to the injury optimism thing.

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the reason why I have zero shares

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:31.080
<v Speaker 1>of Tommy Fan was dealing with the shoulder. I emailed

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Virginia inside injury was there right before the season started.

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.440
<v Speaker 1>We had a little chain. She goes, he's already dealing

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>with the shouldery. This is Tommy Fan that they were

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 1>worried He's probably gonna be some time. And look, it

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>could still happen at some point this season. I hope

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't for everyone who drafted Tommy Fan. But I

0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>was awesome because he was dealing with the shoulder injury

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>during the spring. This Mariner's offense is awesome. Lence has

0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>been great as a catcher as well. Ryan Healy has

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.320
<v Speaker 1>filled in admirably for Kyle Segar. I wonder what they

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 1>do with him? Right once Kyle seekers back, what do

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 1>they do with Ryan Healey? He's he's out. These things,

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 1>these things tend to figure themselves out, work themselves out.

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I tweeted something last night on the other side of

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>this game regarding the Kansas Royals. Was this the fastest

0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 1>outfield in MLB history that was on the field last night?

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Teren score, Billy Hamilton's and Wit maryfield. That is a

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>fast outfield. That is ridiculous. You know what, I wanted

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 1>to bring up Gore because he's a really interesting player.

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's been technically in the league off and

0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 1>on for seven years, greg and still has his rookie

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>status for seven years because he's never had enough played

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>appearances in a season steals bass. So I got that

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>update today from from Seth Klein. Actually, because I tweeted

0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.600
<v Speaker 1>about this last night. Is just the fastest outfield in

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 1>MLB history. And I a few people responding to me

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:06.080
<v Speaker 1>regarding Terrence Gore and if he even if he plays

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times a week. As fast as he

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>is in a only in fifteen team leagues, you might

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 1>have to own Terrence Gore. He might steal twenty posts

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 1>basses this year just being a pitch runner. He's that fast,

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and now he's actually getting an opportunity to play. Why

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 1>do we never actually had a chance to play? So

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>why did he play? Last night? Who didn't play? Ryano

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Hern didn't play? Yeah, they had Horace Solaire at DH.

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 1>There's we're missing somebody. Somebody's clearly missing here, right, I

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 1>was scoring? Did he played? I was scoring? Didn't play?

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.960
<v Speaker 1>That's that's correct. Well, that's a pretty big deal scoring

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 1>is gonna play? He is? But you know, they could

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 1>get creative the same way that we talked about the

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Mariner situation. I don't think they care about Terren's Gore

0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 1>that much they have the last seven years. Why did

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>they care enough to get him in the line up yesterday?

0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.280
<v Speaker 1>And you know what in the lineup today? Batting nine,

0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Terrence playing center field, Terrence trying to get him in there. Greg.

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to find ways to get text from you

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday with Terrence Gore on the list, potentially I'm

0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 1>not Look, this is not a twelve team and it's

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>definitely not a points league. Add because I want guys

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that are gonna play every single day. What head to

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 1>head categories? You want a stolen base specialist? Rodo you

0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>need stolen bases? Even again, even if he plays two

0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 1>or three times a week and they used him as

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a pinch runner, Harry Score might steal twenty and thirty basses.

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Greg gor stole two bases yesterday at Albert Demondsey stole

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>two bases yesterday. I got caught stealing on a third.

0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Mary Fields still a base yesterday. Right, This is what

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>this team needs to do to generate offense. They don't

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>have big boppers. As much as Florio wants Ryano, hearn

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to be a big bopper. Rank Swinne who played yesterday,

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Frank Schwind now, So they don't have a lot of

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 1>big boppers. I know. So Layer hit a home run,

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>but like Alex Gordon batting third, he's more of a

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>contact hitter. You know why they want him to bat third,

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Greg because they have nine one two. So they get

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>on second and they want him to hit a single

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>and they score run. They're gonna let everybody run crazy

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>this year. That's how the Royals generate. Often. I have

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.159
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of intrigue in Terrence Gore basis is

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 1>two career minor league stolen base. We're gonna take a

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.480
<v Speaker 1>of the game, damn, And I came into the game

0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:07.960
<v Speaker 1>motivated today, like, oh, we're gonna have a good start.

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.560

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.440
<v Speaker 1>is typing you and Bold let us old Cat gets

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:18.880
<v Speaker 1>to head back in the game Buddy, week days four

0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>pm e Stern one pm Pacific only on the Fantasy

0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio Network. What do you think, Frank of the

0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Giants extending Sterling Shepherd yesterday, very similar contract of Golden Teeth.

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:49.520
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting they now have two slot wide receivers and

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, maybe Sterling Shepherd has been unfairly

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 1>just didn't hold as a slot receiver because I think

0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:57.240
<v Speaker 1>he can do a little bit more. I think he

0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.120
<v Speaker 1>can play on the outside. They give him the opportunity,

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.840
<v Speaker 1>He's probably better the slot receiver. But I don't really

0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:04.480
<v Speaker 1>have a problem with it. He's young and he's proven

0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 1>himself at times. Obviously, a lot of it comes down

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.439
<v Speaker 1>to quarterback play for the New York Giants. We know

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.959
<v Speaker 1>Eli Manny hasn't been great the past couple of seasons.

0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 1>But if they get someone in there who can throw

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.359
<v Speaker 1>the ball effectively, I think its to be a bargain

0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.119
<v Speaker 1>for them. What do you think, Yeah, I think what

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 1>they're doing is very very clear. They want surehanded guys

0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:23.959
<v Speaker 1>around the line that are good rockers. They're gonna try

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to just build the offensive line, be a running football team.

0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Have sure like I said, surehanded receivers that's the monster

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.199
<v Speaker 1>for that has no downfield friends, and I don't think

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.359
<v Speaker 1>they want to know. Yeah, They're just gonna throw a

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.360
<v Speaker 1>bunch of passes close to the line of you can

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.320
<v Speaker 1>who have high yak who can make after the catch

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>where elif just get it out quickly and go same

0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>with Barkley. They know Eli is not gonna have time.

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 1>They know Eli can't be Eli. They all he has

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to do is kind of to get three steps drop.

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Nobody always doing this though, that should have always been

0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a plan because the offensive line was never good and

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you had one of the best YAK receivers in the league,

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:57.919
<v Speaker 1>had one of the best receivers overall in Odell Beckham.

0:20:58.200 --> 0:20:59.639
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you just throw him a screen pass and

0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.879
<v Speaker 1>lamb do whatever he wants? How many times have we

0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:04.119
<v Speaker 1>seen in a quick slant to the house from O

0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.959
<v Speaker 1>B J not enough? Why didn't he exactly? Why why

0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.119
<v Speaker 1>didn't they do that? More so, I think I think

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:11.719
<v Speaker 1>it's okay. I know a lot of Giants fans are

0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:14.679
<v Speaker 1>actually uh excited about spilling Shepherd. Like my buddy Pip,

0:21:14.760 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>he loves throwing Shepherd. You do, you love Stirling Shepherd.

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:24.000
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, it's fine personally, it's fine. Whatever, And then

0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 1>we'll guarantee mighty be for the next two years. Like

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I think everyone's kind of gonna be under contract for

0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 1>the next two years and then hopefully get them. We

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 1>won't have a job after that. It's kind of where

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:34.359
<v Speaker 1>my heads at realistically. How how much football stuff have

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you been into reading anything just Twitter root a world

0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 1>every day football, but like a much much more dialing

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>into baseball. Like obviously, um, you know what the draft

0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 1>is coming soon, so yeah, we'll work in a little

0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 1>bit of football stuff slowly, right like maybe the second hour,

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 1>we'll do some stuff obviously after the draft, maybe we

0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 1>get like Jim Day on the line here talk some

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 1>football and then like June July, like we'll slowly working

0:21:58.359 --> 0:21:59.960
<v Speaker 1>into the show the second hour. But we're not good.

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.639
<v Speaker 1>We're not just gonna abandon baseball. Obviously. Now we have

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:04.240
<v Speaker 1>two hours, so we could do a little bit of each.

0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 1>We can do some baseball, we can do some football.

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 1>It'll be fun, absolutely all right, let's probably start a

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:11.720
<v Speaker 1>best ball draft like right after the NFL draft, just

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:13.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of it's it's kind of what you do. It's

0:22:13.680 --> 0:22:15.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of what I did it last year. With that,

0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's bring in Virginia Zaki is of Inside Injuries to

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>break down all of the injuries going on around MLB,

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Will getting back into last night's baseball adventure and coming

0:22:23.480 --> 0:22:26.160
<v Speaker 1>up in a moment, what's going on Virginia? You guys

0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.720
<v Speaker 1>has a gun to afternoon, good afternoon, it's going it's

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:31.119
<v Speaker 1>going pretty well for us, not necessarily our fantasy teams,

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 1>but good for us. We're sleeping well. Let me start

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:37.440
<v Speaker 1>off with the New York Yankees, and in particular Louis Savarino.

0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:39.399
<v Speaker 1>It's where we were bringing it down yesterday. He has

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 1>this lat issue that the team has said, hey on

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 1>related to the rotator cuff. Fank and I are on

0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:46.600
<v Speaker 1>different sides of not that argument, but the argument of

0:22:46.600 --> 0:22:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the Latin general. For me raularly, I'm optimistic und injuries,

0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:54.200
<v Speaker 1>but for this one, I am because I'm thinking, Hey,

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 1>at least there's no surgery. He rests for six weeks.

0:22:57.359 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 1>Everything heals, from the lat to the rodentator cuff, he

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:03.760
<v Speaker 1>gets better. Frank saying, this guy is screwed. So what

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:07.159
<v Speaker 1>say you about Louis Severn Now? Yeah, Unfortunately, I think

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:11.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm on Frank's side on this point. This is a

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:16.359
<v Speaker 1>pretty serious lap string um. There's and I do actually

0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 1>think that it's related to the rotator cuff injury. There's

0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:22.439
<v Speaker 1>some compensatory forces related to the rotator cuff that that

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>definitely could have led to this um. Different injury, um,

0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:30.360
<v Speaker 1>different location, but not too far apart. Unfortunately, we are

0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:33.080
<v Speaker 1>obviously showing that he has a very high injury risk. Um,

0:23:33.119 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 1>they're shutting him down for the next six weeks. After that, hopefully,

0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, his rotator cuff is fully recovered, his lad

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:43.200
<v Speaker 1>is feeling better, and he can slowly start to throw again.

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 1>But that's a lot of time to take off. So

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:47.480
<v Speaker 1>even once he hits that six week mark, and if

0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.840
<v Speaker 1>he's feeling great, he couldn't eat up to another month

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 1>or so to restart his throwing program and to get

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:55.200
<v Speaker 1>back into the rotation. But again, this is a very

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.359
<v Speaker 1>serious injury, and I would not be surprised if we

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 1>don't see him until two months of the season, and

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.320
<v Speaker 1>if he does return before then, if he's still just

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.280
<v Speaker 1>bothered by one of these injuries, or just you know,

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.359
<v Speaker 1>his velocity is down, or he has some control issues.

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.040
<v Speaker 1>But this is pretty serious. But I'm okay with that.

0:24:13.160 --> 0:24:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Like you're telling me he could be healthy starting after

0:24:15.560 --> 0:24:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the All Star break in mid July and July augu

0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:21.600
<v Speaker 1>September October, I'll go with that. You're in denial. To stop,

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:25.119
<v Speaker 1>You're a Yankee fan in denial. I'm sorry, I'm a

0:24:25.160 --> 0:24:30.280
<v Speaker 1>realistic Yankee FANOM I'm much more uh negative, I guess

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 1>realistic is what I would call it. But regarding Luis Severino,

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:36.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm not dropping him in fantasy, but honestly, I wouldn't

0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:39.040
<v Speaker 1>be surprised if we see him until the second half.

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:42.680
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't surprise. That wouldn't surprise me one bit. Virginia.

0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Another player who's been injury prone, not that Severino has,

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:50.000
<v Speaker 1>but just transitioning here, David Dahl has is dealing with

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:52.960
<v Speaker 1>a core injury. We didn't exactly know what this was.

0:24:53.000 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>He left the game on Sunday. We thought maybe it

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 1>was oblique, but then it comes out that it's his

0:24:56.400 --> 0:24:58.959
<v Speaker 1>abdomen and I know that he's dealt with oblique injuries

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:00.840
<v Speaker 1>in the past. So what do you guys have on

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:03.439
<v Speaker 1>David Doll? He says he expects to be back when

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:05.680
<v Speaker 1>he's first eligible. Is that what you guys are seeing

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:09.159
<v Speaker 1>regarding David Doll. Yeah, So we have this classified as

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:11.399
<v Speaker 1>a Grade one injury, which is a pretty mild strain

0:25:12.000 --> 0:25:14.679
<v Speaker 1>um two weeks optimal recovery time. So I actually do

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>think he could come back by late April. I think

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:19.800
<v Speaker 1>that's realistic. The real problem here is his overall injury

0:25:19.880 --> 0:25:22.879
<v Speaker 1>risk is high at six four percent. That is an

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>incredibly high number for a guy that doesn't have an

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.959
<v Speaker 1>injury that's going to keep them out for, you know,

0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 1>multiple months. And that's because, like you said, he's had

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of other injuries. UM. Last year it was

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:35.639
<v Speaker 1>a foot fracture. The year before that, UM, it was

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:39.200
<v Speaker 1>back spasms and a stress reaction near his rib cage. UM.

0:25:39.240 --> 0:25:41.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't think this injury is directly related to that

0:25:42.160 --> 0:25:44.879
<v Speaker 1>rib injury, UM, even in the sort of a similar area.

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 1>But his body has just been through a lot in

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:51.399
<v Speaker 1>the last few years. So while this injury alone maybe

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:53.360
<v Speaker 1>isn't that concerning and won't be an issue a few

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 1>weeks from now, his overall injury risk is definitely something

0:25:56.520 --> 0:26:00.159
<v Speaker 1>to watch going forward. Okay, so this injury not that

0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:02.920
<v Speaker 1>big of a deal for David Donal, but it's everything

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>else you have to worry about pretty much the same

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 1>that you were worrying about going into the season in

0:26:06.640 --> 0:26:09.040
<v Speaker 1>regards to injury risk with David Doal. But what he's

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>doing with right now doesn't seem to be a huge deal.

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully I'll be back by this time next week. Mike

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Clevinger're out of nowhere, Virginia. This week it seemed like

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 1>he was gonna be okay, maybe this one start, no

0:26:20.400 --> 0:26:22.919
<v Speaker 1>big deal, And now he's not touching a ball for

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>six to eight weeks. What is this going on, Mike Clevinger. Yeah,

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:30.119
<v Speaker 1>so this is one of those very kind of odd,

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.360
<v Speaker 1>unique injuries. It's not something you hear about often. Um,

0:26:33.359 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 1>they're calling it a terrace major muscle strain and his

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:39.440
<v Speaker 1>right upper back. This is really more of a shoulder injury. Um,

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:42.960
<v Speaker 1>this muscle runs under the shoulder joint. Um, kind of

0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 1>on the outside of the rotator cuff. Um, won't pick

0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:48.000
<v Speaker 1>up a baseball, like you said, for six to eight weeks.

0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:50.880
<v Speaker 1>We're calling this a Grade three injury, which does indicate

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:53.640
<v Speaker 1>that we think there's a minor terror involved. Um. He's

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:57.160
<v Speaker 1>not expected to need surgery right now. But UM, yeah,

0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.119
<v Speaker 1>this this is this is another one of those adults.

0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 1>See him coming back for the All Star break. Um,

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 1>once he is clear to pick up a baseball again,

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's going to be a very slow process

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 1>bringing him back, just because this is so serious. So

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're going to see him for quite

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 1>a long time. Right. Nobody said this job was easy.

0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:16.399
<v Speaker 1>That's why we have Virginia here today to deliver a

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of grim news, which is what we're getting so

0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 1>far regarding Lis Severino and my Clevinger. But I do

0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:24.240
<v Speaker 1>think it's realistic as well for both of those guys

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:28.200
<v Speaker 1>dealing with whatever you can shoulder lad Um, it's rough.

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:30.080
<v Speaker 1>It's rough again. I would try to hold on to both,

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:32.479
<v Speaker 1>but I understand a lot of these injuries are piling up.

0:27:32.800 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Virginia another player who just the other day we hear,

0:27:37.160 --> 0:27:39.240
<v Speaker 1>all right, he's gonna sit out a game, He'll be fine,

0:27:39.320 --> 0:27:42.160
<v Speaker 1>he'll return on Friday. Now we get an update saying

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:45.359
<v Speaker 1>maybe he won't be ready for Friday. Kind of reminds

0:27:45.359 --> 0:27:47.240
<v Speaker 1>me a little bit of the of the Clevinger injury.

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:49.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, Clevinger is gonna be the next start, He'll

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:52.240
<v Speaker 1>be fine, Boom comes out, he's severely injured. Well, I

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 1>hope that isn't the case. For one Mike Trout, he

0:27:54.880 --> 0:27:57.040
<v Speaker 1>was dealing with this groin injury, and again now they're

0:27:57.040 --> 0:27:59.280
<v Speaker 1>saying might not be ready for tomorrow's game. What do

0:27:59.320 --> 0:28:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys have on Mike Trout. I know the past

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 1>couple of years he's actually missed some time. Not that

0:28:03.600 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 1>he's injury prone, but he has missed time. In the

0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:07.560
<v Speaker 1>past couple of years. What do you guys have on

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:11.359
<v Speaker 1>my trap? Yeah, Sweeten is an elevated injury risk entering

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the season. UM, so a little bit of concern, but

0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:16.040
<v Speaker 1>obviously not too much. Um. He's now a high injury

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:18.920
<v Speaker 1>risk at thirty. But the good news is we're calling

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:21.120
<v Speaker 1>this a soft tissue injury, which is as mild as

0:28:21.119 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it can be. UM. That sort of indicates that it's

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>more of maybe some tightness or soreness versus an actual strain.

0:28:27.560 --> 0:28:31.280
<v Speaker 1>So cautiously optimistic that he should be okay within the

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:33.959
<v Speaker 1>next week. UM. The concern here though, is if he

0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 1>does play while he's still dealing with hopefully what is

0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 1>just some tightness, he isn't a much higher risk of

0:28:39.440 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>suffering a more serious strain that would sideline him for weeks.

0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>So it's important right now, take a few extra days off,

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:49.280
<v Speaker 1>get back to hopefully he's good to go by early

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 1>next week, but not a surprise that he may not

0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 1>play Friday or even over the weekend. But as long

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 1>as they handle this right, it should not be a

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.760
<v Speaker 1>long term issue. Right. If you play in the NFBC,

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you can actually update your hitting lineup on Wednesdays. I

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:03.560
<v Speaker 1>would actually take Trout out of my lineup. I would

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:06.719
<v Speaker 1>hope that they just rest him until he's completely healthy.

0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I worry about what the groin does. It affect his

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 1>ability to steal basis for the long term, right because

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 1>he's had at least twenty two steals each to the

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:15.240
<v Speaker 1>past three seasons. You know you need those twenty plus

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:17.720
<v Speaker 1>stolen bases from Trout. He's been awesome to start the year.

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:20.560
<v Speaker 1>But I'm kind of worried about this. I'm a little

0:29:20.560 --> 0:29:22.400
<v Speaker 1>bit worried about this. To be honest, I'm not super

0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:25.640
<v Speaker 1>worried about it. I'm not super either, but a little

0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:28.920
<v Speaker 1>for sure, a little like it's in the back of

0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:30.840
<v Speaker 1>my mind. It's got the back of mine because we

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen him playing since Tuesday when he loved this game.

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I understand why you be concerned. We talked a lot

0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.680
<v Speaker 1>about injury prone players. Were talking to Virginia zakas here

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:43.240
<v Speaker 1>doujan Ryo injury prone player, kind of injured every single year.

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Last year, he heard his growing, this year, he heard

0:29:45.960 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 1>his growing. How significant is this injury? So they're saying

0:29:51.280 --> 0:29:54.160
<v Speaker 1>this was more of a precautionary move um, But I'm

0:29:54.200 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 1>definitely concerned about this this sounds very similar to the

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.000
<v Speaker 1>injury that forced him to miss three months last season,

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 1>also a left groin strain. Um, they're saying this one

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:04.080
<v Speaker 1>isn't nearly as serious, But as I sort of said

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 1>with Mike Trout, groin injuries can very quickly become more severe.

0:30:07.840 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't take much, so it's really important to make

0:30:10.960 --> 0:30:12.719
<v Speaker 1>sure you take enough time off so you really get

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:15.719
<v Speaker 1>back to Once you're feeling great and back to normal,

0:30:15.880 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 1>take a few more days. Don't take any risks with

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:20.960
<v Speaker 1>this one. Um, he's also one of these guys. He's

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>had eight stints on the d L in his career,

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>which is obviously a lot, so you know this is

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 1>a tough situation. Again, his injury risk is very high.

0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:33.560
<v Speaker 1>He's at six and his HPF is at poor att

0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:36.840
<v Speaker 1>So that tells me if he tried to pitch anytime

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 1>in the next two weeks or so before he hits

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:41.920
<v Speaker 1>his optimal recovery time, he's really going to struggle. And

0:30:41.960 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>there's a very very high likelihood that he either reinjures

0:30:44.960 --> 0:30:48.280
<v Speaker 1>his groin, makes it worse, or suffers a new related injury.

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Just because his body isn't ready to go right, doesn't

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 1>that almost worry you, you know, hearing that diagnosis for

0:30:56.120 --> 0:30:57.800
<v Speaker 1>for engine rioting and the fact that he is three

0:30:57.800 --> 0:31:00.400
<v Speaker 1>months last year with a growing strain. And obviously every

0:31:00.400 --> 0:31:02.440
<v Speaker 1>strain is different, every player is different, but the fact

0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:05.200
<v Speaker 1>that it's a groin for Trout to like, doesn't hearing

0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:08.400
<v Speaker 1>something like that were you even more? Regarding Mike Trout,

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 1>it does meet like why you missed three months later?

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 1>And I understand groin strains, can you know the severity

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>of them could be different, but this is I mean

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:20.040
<v Speaker 1>that can linger from Mike Trout? I don't know. It

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>just worries me for both of these guys, and he

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:23.920
<v Speaker 1>injured Ry You look, we know that when he's on

0:31:23.920 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the field, he's gonna be awesome. But this is this

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 1>always happens regarding the Dodgers. Dodger right buddy likes to

0:31:31.640 --> 0:31:34.240
<v Speaker 1>call it. Virginia. Want to ask you about another Rockies player.

0:31:34.280 --> 0:31:36.720
<v Speaker 1>People were excited about Ryan McMahon this year because he

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:38.360
<v Speaker 1>was gonna get the bulk of the playing time at

0:31:38.400 --> 0:31:41.560
<v Speaker 1>second base. Now he has a left elbow strain. What's

0:31:41.560 --> 0:31:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the latest you have on Ryan McMahon. How much time

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:46.440
<v Speaker 1>is he expected to miss? Because honestly, if he's gonna

0:31:46.440 --> 0:31:48.280
<v Speaker 1>miss a lot of time. He might be a droppable

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:52.600
<v Speaker 1>player for us. Yeah, I actually don't think he's gonna

0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 1>miss too much time, which China one to two weeks

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 1>off tomorrowcovery time. UM. He hyper extended his elbow and

0:31:57.560 --> 0:32:01.360
<v Speaker 1>a collision. UM. It doesn't sound like any real damage

0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in his elbow, a mild strain, but nothing more serious

0:32:03.800 --> 0:32:07.400
<v Speaker 1>than that. His injury risk surprisingly is still low. UM.

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I think this is it's because it's to his non

0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:13.720
<v Speaker 1>throwing arm. UM. His HPF. It's still below average because

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't hit his optimal recovery time yet. But I

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:19.080
<v Speaker 1>think that's going to pretty quickly improve to above average. UM.

0:32:19.120 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>And I'm pretty optimistic that he's not gonna miss much

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:23.880
<v Speaker 1>more than I'll say another week or two. Here, some

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>good news, so good. We needed it, we needed it,

0:32:26.560 --> 0:32:28.880
<v Speaker 1>we need so don't drop Ryan McMahon yet, especially in

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 1>those deeper leagues. It could be a short stinging here

0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 1>from Ryan McMahon. Hopefully. So we're talking to Virginia Zaga

0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:36.479
<v Speaker 1>is inside injuries, cold minutes left with her now yet

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 1>no one really cares about John Lester outside of me,

0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:41.600
<v Speaker 1>But well, I hope so I get to ask John

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Lester has actually been pretty good thus far this season

0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and then he irrationally hurt his hamstring running the bases.

0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:49.479
<v Speaker 1>You want to hear my rants on that. Go back

0:32:49.520 --> 0:32:52.240
<v Speaker 1>two days ago, you hear my rants on that. So, Virginia,

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:57.080
<v Speaker 1>how serious is John Lester's hamstring injury? First showing this

0:32:57.120 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>is a Grade one strain, which is mild strain. Uh um,

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:03.320
<v Speaker 1>two weeks off form recovery time, So we're showing a

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:06.840
<v Speaker 1>healthy to return around April. If that's the case, he

0:33:06.880 --> 0:33:09.560
<v Speaker 1>may just miss one to two starts. Not too bad. Um.

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:11.280
<v Speaker 1>He also said he did not feel a pop, it

0:33:11.320 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 1>was more than just kind of like tightness and cramping. Um.

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I obviously think this is more than just a little

0:33:15.880 --> 0:33:18.680
<v Speaker 1>bit of tightness in his hamstring, because that can also

0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:20.920
<v Speaker 1>be This often be the sign of a mild strain.

0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:24.040
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think this is anything too serious. Um.

0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Right now, his injury risk is high at but he's

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 1>right at the cut off of elevated and elevated and

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 1>high is the cut off. So his HPF is also

0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:36.680
<v Speaker 1>below average right now, but again not too bad. Could

0:33:36.720 --> 0:33:38.960
<v Speaker 1>be much worse, So I think those numbers are going

0:33:39.000 --> 0:33:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to improve pretty quickly once he gets into late April,

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:44.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'm hopeful that this is not going to turn

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 1>into a long term issue. Some more good news therefore,

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 1>take it, Garty, John Lester, I'm gonna move over to

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Justin Smoke of the Toronto Blue Jays, who has been

0:33:53.840 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 1>out of the lineup the past couple of days dealing

0:33:56.080 --> 0:33:59.440
<v Speaker 1>with a neck injury. Unfortunately, Greg, you know, I have

0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:01.400
<v Speaker 1>a home league where I have staying on the aisle.

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I have Daniel Murphy, I have David Donald. I'm dealing

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 1>with a ton of injuries. I actually had to drop

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:09.279
<v Speaker 1>Justin Smoke, and I didn't want to, but I just

0:34:09.320 --> 0:34:10.920
<v Speaker 1>need guys that are gonna play right now, and he

0:34:11.040 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>wasn't so. Virginia, what's the latest that you guys have

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:17.120
<v Speaker 1>on Justin Smoke regarding this neck injury? Now, Unfortunately, we

0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:19.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know too much about what's really going on with

0:34:19.239 --> 0:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>his neck. You've called it, you know, soreness, maybe tightness,

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:24.880
<v Speaker 1>but they haven't indicated there's anything more serious going on.

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Right now, we're showing it as a Grade one injury,

0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:32.000
<v Speaker 1>UM healthy to return date around ap The issue here

0:34:32.080 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 1>is if he keeps trying to play through it and

0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:36.400
<v Speaker 1>then get sidelined again, it's going to keep delaying that

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:38.719
<v Speaker 1>healthy to return date because it's almost like he a

0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 1>really aggravation. He kind of resets the clock. UM, a

0:34:42.080 --> 0:34:45.320
<v Speaker 1>little setback, but his injury risk right now is elevated

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 1>at nineteen, so not too bad. UM. Really in this case,

0:34:49.160 --> 0:34:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I think they just need to give him more time

0:34:50.640 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 1>off and wait until they're sure that he really is

0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:55.279
<v Speaker 1>feeling better. UM. Trying to play through it when he's

0:34:55.280 --> 0:34:57.440
<v Speaker 1>not quite a percent, especially at this point in the

0:34:57.480 --> 0:35:00.720
<v Speaker 1>season and dealing with a neck injury, which just not smart.

0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:03.640
<v Speaker 1>But hopefully if they give him a week or so off, really,

0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I think they should place him on the I l

0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:08.799
<v Speaker 1>give him ten days get healthy, get you know, get

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:10.840
<v Speaker 1>be ready to go, um, and then I think he

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.640
<v Speaker 1>should be fine the rest of the season. It's really

0:35:13.640 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 1>positive sleep, positively, get back all right, So it look

0:35:17.680 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 1>for your deeper leaguers. Don't drop justin smoke yet. We

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 1>were talking a lot Fank yesterday in regards to the

0:35:23.400 --> 0:35:26.799
<v Speaker 1>San Diego outfield and how that situation is gonna work

0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:29.520
<v Speaker 1>itself out with many Margo and Hunter, renfro Uh and

0:35:29.560 --> 0:35:32.319
<v Speaker 1>one of the players included Frenchie Cordero who's now on

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:34.239
<v Speaker 1>the tabled list. How long should we expect him to

0:35:34.280 --> 0:35:37.480
<v Speaker 1>be out for? Yeah, so he's dealing with a right

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.719
<v Speaker 1>elbow strain. UM. I'm a little concerned here because he

0:35:40.840 --> 0:35:44.480
<v Speaker 1>missed a lot of last season after surgery to remove

0:35:44.480 --> 0:35:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a bone chip from that same elbow. UM, there's a

0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:50.279
<v Speaker 1>chance this this could be somewhat related. UM. Likely not

0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:53.600
<v Speaker 1>a bone ship, but worry for tending or ligament change

0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 1>or a cartilage injury. UM, sort of related to that surgery.

0:35:57.239 --> 0:35:59.759
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully it is just a mild strain. If it

0:35:59.880 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>is two weeks after tomorrowcovering time. UM, if there is

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:05.719
<v Speaker 1>any sort of tending our ligament get damage or it's

0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 1>like cartilage tear or something, this could turn into a

0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 1>lengthy absence. UM. He also started to experience pain a

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:13.600
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago, so this is something that's been going

0:36:13.640 --> 0:36:16.480
<v Speaker 1>on for a little while. I'm definitely smart to shut

0:36:16.560 --> 0:36:19.240
<v Speaker 1>him down right now for a week or two. Hopefully

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:21.680
<v Speaker 1>that solves all of his problems. But if two weeks

0:36:21.719 --> 0:36:23.759
<v Speaker 1>or so from now he's still dealing with pain, I

0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:27.040
<v Speaker 1>think that's a sign that there's something more serious going on. Right.

0:36:27.160 --> 0:36:29.680
<v Speaker 1>We would never root for injury here on the Fantasy

0:36:29.719 --> 0:36:34.120
<v Speaker 1>best Friends Forever, But we also don't want re injuries.

0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:37.200

0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:05.279
<v Speaker 1>You're doing a great job, Bundy. Um. I wanted to

0:40:05.320 --> 0:40:11.360
<v Speaker 1>get into as I mentioned this Pirates game that the

0:40:11.360 --> 0:40:16.920
<v Speaker 1>place last night between Jordan Lyles and you, Darvish Darvish

0:40:17.000 --> 0:40:18.840
<v Speaker 1>five and a third, five hits, five runs, four of

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:22.359
<v Speaker 1>them were earned. Didn't walk anybody struck out four. You know, no, no,

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>he didn't know what to make of Darvish. What do

0:40:24.480 --> 0:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>you think now? It's hard to say that this is

0:40:27.960 --> 0:40:29.880
<v Speaker 1>a step in the right direction, right the fact that

0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:31.759
<v Speaker 1>he gave up five runs and five and a third

0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:35.919
<v Speaker 1>and he's pitched four of them were earned. And look,

0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think it is a step in

0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.560
<v Speaker 1>the right direction because he didn't walk anybody, Greg, The

0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:43.080
<v Speaker 1>swinging strikes were up, he sowed a little bit better

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 1>command of his pitch. He had thirteen swinging strikes on

0:40:45.200 --> 0:40:48.399
<v Speaker 1>seventy seven pitches, So from that regard, he was actually good.

0:40:48.440 --> 0:40:51.200
<v Speaker 1>And and the vl o is is still down from

0:40:51.239 --> 0:40:52.799
<v Speaker 1>two years ago. Like that's what you have to see

0:40:52.880 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 1>him slowly work up. Remember, Darvish missed most of last season,

0:40:57.680 --> 0:40:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't pitch a ton in the spring either,

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:02.560
<v Speaker 1>so this is kind of his extended spring training right now.

0:41:02.560 --> 0:41:05.880
<v Speaker 1>He shouldn't be in your lineup. I'm not dropping you, Darvish.

0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:08.880
<v Speaker 1>He might even be a potential by low moving forward.

0:41:09.280 --> 0:41:11.640
<v Speaker 1>But I see this as a step in the right direction, Greg,

0:41:11.640 --> 0:41:13.719
<v Speaker 1>because he's getting a few more swings and misses, he's

0:41:13.760 --> 0:41:16.520
<v Speaker 1>not walking anybody. I tweeted this out last night drink.

0:41:16.719 --> 0:41:20.320
<v Speaker 1>This was his first start without a walk since September

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:24.560
<v Speaker 1>of two thousand and seventeen. That was two years ago, Greg,

0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:26.640
<v Speaker 1>So all in all, he gives up a home run

0:41:26.680 --> 0:41:30.560
<v Speaker 1>to Savelli. He gives up a home run to Starling Marte. Uh.

0:41:30.600 --> 0:41:32.560
<v Speaker 1>There was an error on the defense behind him as well.

0:41:32.560 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>The Cubs defense has not been good this year, so

0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:38.640
<v Speaker 1>obviously that didn't help him. But I thought that it

0:41:38.719 --> 0:41:40.719
<v Speaker 1>was stem in the right direction. Greg, what do you think?

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:44.919
<v Speaker 1>I think so too, Um. I think that I think

0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:47.880
<v Speaker 1>that you Darvish not walking, anybody's showing a better command

0:41:47.960 --> 0:41:51.640
<v Speaker 1>for his pitches made me feel encouraged. I think that's

0:41:51.640 --> 0:41:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a good word for it. I think we need to

0:41:53.000 --> 0:41:56.480
<v Speaker 1>see some consistency. Probably his best start thus far. So

0:41:56.560 --> 0:42:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm taking this as encouraged. That's the word I'm using

0:42:00.000 --> 0:42:02.640
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to which is crazy to say because

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:06.040
<v Speaker 1>runs and five and a third is not still not good.

0:42:06.080 --> 0:42:08.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not what you want, but it certainly not quality.

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:09.759
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of people got him as their you know,

0:42:09.880 --> 0:42:12.400
<v Speaker 1>SP three maybe SP four coming out of the draft,

0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>so you need you need a little bit more out

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:17.920
<v Speaker 1>of him. At some point we know what the talent

0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:20.439
<v Speaker 1>could be. It's just can you get back to that level?

0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Obviously you have to see an uptick in velocity, and

0:42:23.120 --> 0:42:25.000
<v Speaker 1>he's not throwing as many pitches as he once did.

0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:27.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's actually a smart thing by by

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Darvish here in the Cubs, because you don't want him

0:42:30.000 --> 0:42:32.319
<v Speaker 1>expanding his repertoire yet. You want him to work on,

0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, his bread and butter, what his best pitches are,

0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and get back to doing those and then maybe he

0:42:36.920 --> 0:42:39.440
<v Speaker 1>expands it once those things start to come. But that's

0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he didn't walk anyone. I think it

0:42:41.000 --> 0:42:43.799
<v Speaker 1>is encouraging. It's the word, man, That's that's the word

0:42:43.800 --> 0:42:46.399
<v Speaker 1>of the day. Okay. On the other side, a little

0:42:46.400 --> 0:42:50.319
<v Speaker 1>bit more encouraging. Jordan Lyles six things, three hits, one run,

0:42:50.480 --> 0:42:54.040
<v Speaker 1>one walk, ten strike as Jordan Lyles four top prospect

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:58.279
<v Speaker 1>of the Astros. Pitch not terribly for San Diego, who

0:42:58.320 --> 0:43:01.320
<v Speaker 1>then gave him away save some money at the deadline

0:43:01.400 --> 0:43:08.239
<v Speaker 1>last year. Last night gets a good Cubs team, very good,

0:43:08.560 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 1>pitched really well. Frank. It definitely has my attention. This

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:15.239
<v Speaker 1>is another one of those, you know, scoutless similar to

0:43:15.280 --> 0:43:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Trent Thornton. Maybe you know, rank him a little bit

0:43:18.200 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 1>higher than Trent Thornton, but he has my attention. Look,

0:43:21.840 --> 0:43:24.800
<v Speaker 1>double digit strikeouts last night and gets the Cubs very encouraging.

0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Great performance here as well, and he pitched well with

0:43:30.160 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the Padres. You know, he wasn't liked that by any

0:43:32.160 --> 0:43:34.440
<v Speaker 1>means last year, but he had a four point to

0:43:34.640 --> 0:43:37.279
<v Speaker 1>nine e array with the Padres last year. Comes over

0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to the Brewers. Pitches in eleven games, only sixteen innings,

0:43:41.480 --> 0:43:43.000
<v Speaker 1>so he was used as the reliever. He had a

0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:45.319
<v Speaker 1>three point three one e r A. So I think

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:47.280
<v Speaker 1>he might have some kind of appeal in deeper leagues.

0:43:47.320 --> 0:43:50.759
<v Speaker 1>Greg fifteen team mixed obviously, and only just because he

0:43:50.800 --> 0:43:53.960
<v Speaker 1>has a role in the rotation right now. But you know,

0:43:54.080 --> 0:43:58.439
<v Speaker 1>through two starts, obviously the Cubs was a a very

0:43:58.480 --> 0:44:00.960
<v Speaker 1>tough matchup. And then in his first start, he goes

0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:04.040
<v Speaker 1>up against the Reds, who you know, they got off

0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to a slow start. They've kind of been their offense

0:44:05.719 --> 0:44:08.439
<v Speaker 1>has been bouncing back a little bit now, but five

0:44:08.480 --> 0:44:12.160
<v Speaker 1>shoutout innings against the Reds in his first start. He's

0:44:12.160 --> 0:44:15.680
<v Speaker 1>allowed only one or run through eleven innings. Okay, you

0:44:15.760 --> 0:44:18.759
<v Speaker 1>have my attention, but he's not a he's not a

0:44:18.800 --> 0:44:21.520
<v Speaker 1>month ad for me yet in twelve team leagues. Yeah,

0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:23.520
<v Speaker 1>and and I understand why, right, Like, he's not a

0:44:23.520 --> 0:44:26.200
<v Speaker 1>guy that's had long term success or anything anything along

0:44:26.239 --> 0:44:29.480
<v Speaker 1>those lines. But when he pitched like that against a

0:44:29.480 --> 0:44:33.000
<v Speaker 1>good team, I'm gonna treat. I'm gonna treat. I'm gonna

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:35.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of watch what he does and maybe follow up

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:39.879
<v Speaker 1>here at some point kind of where I'm m with them.

0:44:40.000 --> 0:44:41.600
<v Speaker 1>You texted us last night that maybe this is the

0:44:41.640 --> 0:44:44.400
<v Speaker 1>beginning of Starling Marte getting hot. As Marte stole his

0:44:44.480 --> 0:44:46.640
<v Speaker 1>third base of the year and also hit his first

0:44:46.680 --> 0:44:49.399
<v Speaker 1>whole run of the year, we need more of that, Frank. Yeah.

0:44:49.440 --> 0:44:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Normally you draft Starling Marte, you want him to contribute

0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:54.040
<v Speaker 1>in batting average, whether it's you know, two eighties to

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:56.759
<v Speaker 1>nineties somewhere around there. But to start the season, like

0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:59.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of players, he's he's been cold, um and

0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, hanging in a cold climate. Yesterday in in Chicago,

0:45:02.960 --> 0:45:04.759
<v Speaker 1>still had a ball of go out, hit a home run,

0:45:04.800 --> 0:45:06.759
<v Speaker 1>he had two hits, he had two ribbies. But he's

0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:09.880
<v Speaker 1>only batting two to this point. So obviously people are

0:45:09.920 --> 0:45:12.480
<v Speaker 1>expecting more from Stolen Morte. At least the speed has

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:14.560
<v Speaker 1>been there. That's what I'll say, right, Yes, three stolen

0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:17.120
<v Speaker 1>bases already, so that's fine. Hits his first home run

0:45:17.200 --> 0:45:19.000
<v Speaker 1>last year. But again, you know, we want to see

0:45:19.040 --> 0:45:21.920
<v Speaker 1>that batting average creep up around to ninety and based

0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:23.880
<v Speaker 1>on where he's been in his career, as long as

0:45:23.880 --> 0:45:26.560
<v Speaker 1>he's healthy, which you know he's dealt with injury concerns

0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:28.319
<v Speaker 1>in the past, I would expect him to get that

0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:30.520
<v Speaker 1>up around that two eighty rain. I think so too.

0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I think so too, Starling more. Hopefully, as long as

0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:35.279
<v Speaker 1>he remains healthy, I will get back to where you

0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:38.239
<v Speaker 1>need him to be on the covey side of Thanks

0:45:38.360 --> 0:45:41.719
<v Speaker 1>Chris Bryant still his first base of the year last night.

0:45:41.880 --> 0:45:43.520
<v Speaker 1>And Jason Heyward, you and mikea we are going back

0:45:43.520 --> 0:45:45.719
<v Speaker 1>and forth. So I getting Jason Heyward here, here's three

0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:48.799
<v Speaker 1>or four last night, batting three semi one on this

0:45:48.960 --> 0:45:51.799
<v Speaker 1>season out of the seven hole. You have Florial back

0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:53.879
<v Speaker 1>and forth would saying how intrigued you guys are about

0:45:53.960 --> 0:45:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Jason Hayward. How come? Yeah? So he's actually doing a

0:45:56.840 --> 0:45:59.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of really nice things to start the year here.

0:45:59.160 --> 0:46:01.239
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if you know, he worked with

0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:03.759
<v Speaker 1>a hitting coach in the off season to consciously try

0:46:03.840 --> 0:46:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and lift his launch angle. He's seeing the ball better

0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:09.919
<v Speaker 1>because he's clearly squaring it up. He's hitting the ball harder.

0:46:10.000 --> 0:46:12.840
<v Speaker 1>This year he's raised his launch angle, and we've seen

0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:15.200
<v Speaker 1>that kind of effect help players in the past. Daniel

0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Murphy comes to mind, Max Monsey did it last year

0:46:18.520 --> 0:46:21.239
<v Speaker 1>with the Dodgers, Justin Turner even before then with the

0:46:21.280 --> 0:46:24.600
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers as well. So on the season, Jason Heyward again

0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:28.480
<v Speaker 1>small sam size. He has thirty two batted balls two

0:46:28.560 --> 0:46:31.799
<v Speaker 1>mile pur average eggit velocity. Each of the past four

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:34.319
<v Speaker 1>seasons before this he hasn't been higher than eighty nine.

0:46:34.800 --> 0:46:36.799
<v Speaker 1>He's hitting the ball harder to start the year. His

0:46:36.880 --> 0:46:39.120
<v Speaker 1>launch angle, you would almost argue that it's too high.

0:46:39.239 --> 0:46:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Right now it's eighteen point nine, so clearly trying to

0:46:42.360 --> 0:46:44.319
<v Speaker 1>put the ball in the air more. Hits another home

0:46:44.400 --> 0:46:48.560
<v Speaker 1>run last night. His launch angle the past four years

0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:51.319
<v Speaker 1>never higher than ten point nine, So now he's up

0:46:51.320 --> 0:46:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to eighteen point nine. So he's lifting the ball, he's

0:46:53.520 --> 0:46:55.800
<v Speaker 1>trying to hit more fly balls. He's hitting the ball harder,

0:46:56.200 --> 0:46:57.839
<v Speaker 1>and these are the things that we constantly look at

0:46:57.880 --> 0:46:59.200
<v Speaker 1>for guys. You know, if you're hitting the ball harder

0:46:59.200 --> 0:47:00.879
<v Speaker 1>and hitting it in the air. It's gonna turn into

0:47:00.880 --> 0:47:04.400
<v Speaker 1>more home runs. And he's already hitting more home runs.

0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I saw an awesome stat last night regarding Jason Hayward

0:47:08.080 --> 0:47:12.360
<v Speaker 1>which said, here we go, it's it's from Gordon Wittenmeyer.

0:47:12.880 --> 0:47:15.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure who the gentleman is, but that's his

0:47:15.360 --> 0:47:18.720
<v Speaker 1>fourth home run already, his highest total for a single

0:47:18.800 --> 0:47:21.480
<v Speaker 1>month as a Cub with twenty days left in April.

0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:26.719
<v Speaker 1>So maybe he was kind of tired of everyone bashing him, like, oh,

0:47:26.719 --> 0:47:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you get this big contract, you haven't been able to

0:47:28.520 --> 0:47:31.560
<v Speaker 1>do anything for the Cubs, and offensively to start the year.

0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:34.680
<v Speaker 1>He's made adjustments and it looks pretty good. So I'm

0:47:34.760 --> 0:47:37.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of buying in. I'm buying in on you're buying in.

0:47:37.320 --> 0:47:40.759
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean? Like how to what extent? If

0:47:40.800 --> 0:47:43.279
<v Speaker 1>I play in a twelve team league where I need

0:47:43.320 --> 0:47:45.720
<v Speaker 1>four or more outfielders, I think he should be owned.

0:47:47.600 --> 0:47:49.919
<v Speaker 1>Somebody's in all fifteen team leagues, you think he should

0:47:49.920 --> 0:47:52.160
<v Speaker 1>be owned. And I have actually owned him for the

0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:53.600
<v Speaker 1>past two weeks in the main event, so I've been

0:47:53.640 --> 0:47:55.480
<v Speaker 1>reaping all the rewards and I just kind of fell

0:47:55.520 --> 0:47:57.040
<v Speaker 1>into it. It was, you know, I got kind of

0:47:57.080 --> 0:47:59.839
<v Speaker 1>lucky here with this one. Last week I lost someone

0:48:00.000 --> 0:48:02.440
<v Speaker 1>injury and I just needed a fifth outfielder and he

0:48:02.440 --> 0:48:04.239
<v Speaker 1>was available, so I picked him up. And I've been

0:48:04.280 --> 0:48:06.960
<v Speaker 1>reading reaping all these rewards and again I just kind

0:48:06.960 --> 0:48:08.920
<v Speaker 1>of fell into this one and got lucky. But in

0:48:09.000 --> 0:48:12.600
<v Speaker 1>fifteen team leagues, I think he should be owned because

0:48:12.600 --> 0:48:14.800
<v Speaker 1>you need those those five outfielders. But you know, in

0:48:14.880 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 1>your standard home league twelve teams, three outfielders, probably not

0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:21.640
<v Speaker 1>adding him yet. I know you in your home league, right,

0:48:21.680 --> 0:48:24.720
<v Speaker 1>you have to utility spots. That's a little bit deeper.

0:48:25.160 --> 0:48:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I'd probably own him there, and you know, daily transactions

0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:30.640
<v Speaker 1>you get him in the lineup whenever he's in there. Um.

0:48:30.719 --> 0:48:33.600
<v Speaker 1>But again, anything with four out fielders or less, for sure,

0:48:33.600 --> 0:48:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a must OLM player. Okay, there you go.

0:48:35.360 --> 0:48:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Four outfielders or less for for sure, he is a

0:48:40.560 --> 0:48:44.360
<v Speaker 1>must own player, Grey Frank Staffeld. That obviously is Jason Heyward.

0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:47.440
<v Speaker 1>We're speaking about anything else was Pirates Cubs game note perfect.

0:48:47.480 --> 0:48:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. Let's move on to the Cardinals and the

0:48:50.719 --> 0:48:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers from last night because we don't see you, Greggy.

0:48:54.520 --> 0:48:56.120
<v Speaker 1>You made me pu put Jack Flaherty in my line up.

0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Home league and he was a Flawerty was fantastic. Of

0:48:58.920 --> 0:49:01.480
<v Speaker 1>six innings, three hits were on eight strike as Jack

0:49:01.480 --> 0:49:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Farry is too good to bench, that's it too good,

0:49:04.280 --> 0:49:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and he had a rough first start. But the Brewers

0:49:07.440 --> 0:49:10.080
<v Speaker 1>in Milwaukee so obviously a really tough spot. And the

0:49:10.120 --> 0:49:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers lineup has actually come back down to earth the

0:49:12.600 --> 0:49:15.880
<v Speaker 1>past couple of games. Um, they obviously aren't doing what

0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:19.719
<v Speaker 1>they've done early on the season. But regarding Flaherty, man,

0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually I'm encouraged by the fact that his velocity

0:49:23.520 --> 0:49:25.680
<v Speaker 1>is up this year. Greg so last year with the

0:49:25.760 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Cardinals obviously, you know a hundred and fifty one endings

0:49:29.080 --> 0:49:32.040
<v Speaker 1>pitches first, you know, semi full season in the major leagues,

0:49:32.360 --> 0:49:36.279
<v Speaker 1>the fastball velocity is on average point seven miles per hour,

0:49:36.520 --> 0:49:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and early on in the season, these first couple of

0:49:38.840 --> 0:49:41.480
<v Speaker 1>starts usually they're a little bit lower. They're working their

0:49:41.520 --> 0:49:43.719
<v Speaker 1>way back up. How about Jack Flaherty through his first

0:49:43.719 --> 0:49:46.400
<v Speaker 1>couple of starts here nine three point six mile per

0:49:46.440 --> 0:49:50.560
<v Speaker 1>hour average fastball velocity, which is up a tick from

0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:53.440
<v Speaker 1>last season, which tells me as the season goes on

0:49:54.400 --> 0:49:57.120
<v Speaker 1>it might even go even higher. So he was really

0:49:57.120 --> 0:50:00.120
<v Speaker 1>good last night. Against a really really strong lineup in

0:50:00.200 --> 0:50:03.360
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers. You saw the strikeouts. He had eleven swinging

0:50:03.400 --> 0:50:09.000
<v Speaker 1>strikes one pitches. Great start, Great start from Jack Flaherty.

0:50:09.040 --> 0:50:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I really really like what I see here,

0:50:11.000 --> 0:50:13.160
<v Speaker 1>and I think the fact that his velocity is all

0:50:13.200 --> 0:50:16.960
<v Speaker 1>already up, it might even go up more as the

0:50:17.000 --> 0:50:18.919
<v Speaker 1>season goes on. Lots of love there when it comes

0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to a Jack Flaherty, who have a lot of good side,

0:50:21.560 --> 0:50:24.040
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of good signs about him. Ketcha Mayana

0:50:24.160 --> 0:50:26.520
<v Speaker 1>five and a third, seven hits, five runs, only walked one,

0:50:26.560 --> 0:50:28.720
<v Speaker 1>he struck out five. How the best outing for Kendam

0:50:28.760 --> 0:50:31.719
<v Speaker 1>my Eta, now this wasn't a lot of it came

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:34.399
<v Speaker 1>in the sixth inning where he just kind of fell apart. Yeah,

0:50:34.440 --> 0:50:36.080
<v Speaker 1>he And this is what happens, you know, when you're

0:50:36.120 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to stretch out my eighta a little bit too far.

0:50:38.280 --> 0:50:40.400
<v Speaker 1>And you know, he still only threw eighty two pitches

0:50:40.440 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 1>but had fourteen swinging strikes. Nine on his slider, I

0:50:43.640 --> 0:50:45.920
<v Speaker 1>actually throws, you know, four or five different pitches, very

0:50:45.920 --> 0:50:49.040
<v Speaker 1>diverse arsenal, and entering the start he was good. So

0:50:49.719 --> 0:50:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I've kind of talked this one up to you know,

0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:56.279
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals offense. It's a tough lineup. Um, he kind

0:50:56.280 --> 0:50:57.839
<v Speaker 1>of just ran into one here. But he was good

0:50:57.840 --> 0:51:00.120
<v Speaker 1>in his first two starts, so I'm not really ried

0:51:00.120 --> 0:51:02.000
<v Speaker 1>about my a to Greg. You know, I'm not panicking.

0:51:02.000 --> 0:51:04.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not dropping him. Um. I still do think that

0:51:04.400 --> 0:51:07.839
<v Speaker 1>he should be owned in the league's like twelve teams

0:51:07.840 --> 0:51:11.920
<v Speaker 1>are deeper anything like. Don't don't panic regarding my especially

0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:14.600
<v Speaker 1>given like he has a rotation spot, like especially given

0:51:14.600 --> 0:51:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the injury to Rye and in these limits and whatnot.

0:51:19.120 --> 0:51:20.799
<v Speaker 1>I feel very good at it owning kids. My anna

0:51:20.760 --> 0:51:23.680
<v Speaker 1>is still. I'm not not nervous or anything like that.

0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:26.439
<v Speaker 1>Jock Peterson finally homeward again, breaking his Schny his fourth

0:51:26.440 --> 0:51:28.560
<v Speaker 1>home run of the year. Act Monthly. Also, he did

0:51:28.640 --> 0:51:31.960
<v Speaker 1>his fourth home run of the season for the Los

0:51:31.960 --> 0:51:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Angeles Dodgers. For the Cubbies, Paul Deyond, we have a

0:51:34.719 --> 0:51:37.600
<v Speaker 1>four B three thirty three now. Marcello's you know, also

0:51:37.640 --> 0:51:39.960
<v Speaker 1>goes three for four and it was his third home

0:51:40.040 --> 0:51:42.360
<v Speaker 1>run of the season, while also stealing his second base

0:51:42.400 --> 0:51:45.600
<v Speaker 1>of the season. Frank guy that we were both out on. Yeah,

0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:47.959
<v Speaker 1>we were again because he was dealing with injury during

0:51:48.120 --> 0:51:51.040
<v Speaker 1>spring training. So you know, I don't have any shares

0:51:51.360 --> 0:51:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of of Marcelo Zuna, but I do have a few

0:51:55.120 --> 0:51:57.840
<v Speaker 1>shares of Paul Deyong, and you know, he's been awesome

0:51:57.880 --> 0:52:00.279
<v Speaker 1>to this point and again batting third for the car Knows.

0:52:00.280 --> 0:52:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we we've spoke about this a lot, ideal

0:52:04.520 --> 0:52:07.399
<v Speaker 1>places that you want to be in MLB in terms

0:52:07.400 --> 0:52:09.720
<v Speaker 1>of a lineup, and we spoke about Luke Voit earlier

0:52:09.719 --> 0:52:12.640
<v Speaker 1>on in the season, we spoke about Dan Vogelbach earlier today,

0:52:13.120 --> 0:52:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Paul the Young. I mean, it's just a great spot

0:52:14.960 --> 0:52:17.520
<v Speaker 1>to be Matt Carpenter leading off, Paul Goldschmidt hitting ahead

0:52:17.560 --> 0:52:20.040
<v Speaker 1>of him. Um, so it's just a really good spot

0:52:20.080 --> 0:52:22.399
<v Speaker 1>from to be in. And he's capitalizing, which tells me

0:52:22.680 --> 0:52:24.680
<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna leave him there as long as he's performing,

0:52:24.680 --> 0:52:28.000
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna leave him third. So really really good spot

0:52:28.040 --> 0:52:30.719
<v Speaker 1>for Paul Deon to be in. I was pretty high

0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:32.880
<v Speaker 1>on him in the preseason coming in. I know a

0:52:32.920 --> 0:52:35.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of people were making comparisons to hit Uh to

0:52:35.560 --> 0:52:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Glabor and Paul de Young. Well, Deon could give you

0:52:38.560 --> 0:52:41.799
<v Speaker 1>what Glabor is giving you and get it, you know,

0:52:42.520 --> 0:52:45.200
<v Speaker 1>hundred picks later. So at this point it seemed like

0:52:45.280 --> 0:52:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people who were saying that regarding the

0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:51.120
<v Speaker 1>young are right. And then Marcelo Zuna, regardless of being

0:52:51.120 --> 0:52:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a terrible fielder and looking like he might hurt himself

0:52:53.680 --> 0:52:57.200
<v Speaker 1>tonight before diving off of the fence another three hits

0:52:57.440 --> 0:53:02.320
<v Speaker 1>home run. I'm again, it's a good spot like Izuna

0:53:02.320 --> 0:53:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to stolen basis typically not a guy who's not when

0:53:06.000 --> 0:53:08.919
<v Speaker 1>you drafted them, not when you're evening for you think

0:53:08.920 --> 0:53:12.879
<v Speaker 1>this is part of uh an organizational philosophy thing great

0:53:12.880 --> 0:53:14.360
<v Speaker 1>where they're trying to be a little bit more aggressive

0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:17.040
<v Speaker 1>on the base pass Because I know Jim Sannis of

0:53:17.120 --> 0:53:19.200
<v Speaker 1>number five we do the Fandel hurry up videos with him,

0:53:19.239 --> 0:53:22.439
<v Speaker 1>said that all the young stole a few basses during

0:53:22.480 --> 0:53:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the spring and it has it had his attention because

0:53:25.560 --> 0:53:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't steal basis in spring unless you willingly want

0:53:28.520 --> 0:53:30.360
<v Speaker 1>to do it and practice it and get ready for

0:53:30.400 --> 0:53:32.919
<v Speaker 1>the season doing it. So I know de Young already

0:53:32.960 --> 0:53:34.960
<v Speaker 1>has a stolen base in the year, now Zuna has too.

0:53:35.000 --> 0:53:38.000
<v Speaker 1>These are not guys that's typically steal basis. This might

0:53:38.040 --> 0:53:40.360
<v Speaker 1>be an organizational philosophy thing that they want to be

0:53:40.360 --> 0:53:43.440
<v Speaker 1>more aggressive on the base path potentially, so potentially, so

0:53:43.960 --> 0:53:46.400
<v Speaker 1>stolen basis is a matter of wanting to do it. Great.

0:53:46.640 --> 0:53:50.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not like there were There were years when you know,

0:53:51.000 --> 0:53:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Albert pooh Holes would steal ten or twelve bases last year,

0:53:53.680 --> 0:53:57.759
<v Speaker 1>Freddy Freeman ten basis. Golder guys are not fast. Paul

0:53:57.800 --> 0:54:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Goldschman might be a little bit faster, but with Pool

0:54:00.239 --> 0:54:02.279
<v Speaker 1>and Freeman, they're not fast. It's it's a matter of

0:54:02.320 --> 0:54:04.719
<v Speaker 1>wanting to do it and picking up on things that

0:54:04.719 --> 0:54:07.800
<v Speaker 1>pictures are doing. Hey, if they're not paying attention to you,

0:54:07.800 --> 0:54:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you get a huge lead, you get a quick start,

0:54:10.480 --> 0:54:13.440
<v Speaker 1>and you see a base. It could be something that

0:54:13.480 --> 0:54:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals are looking into. So I'm paying attention to that.

0:54:15.800 --> 0:54:17.520
<v Speaker 1>If it turns out you get tensetile and basis from

0:54:17.680 --> 0:54:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Juna this year, that completely gives you something you were

0:54:20.280 --> 0:54:23.960
<v Speaker 1>not expecting this year. From a Roto perspective, the same

0:54:24.000 --> 0:54:26.719
<v Speaker 1>thing goes for the young absolutely absolutely. Any act to

0:54:26.719 --> 0:54:29.279
<v Speaker 1>that regarding the Cardinals, any extertalvation that they can give us,

0:54:31.200 --> 0:54:36.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll take it. Uh Yani, let's boom a little renaissance. Rihanna,

0:54:36.080 --> 0:54:37.759
<v Speaker 1>here we go two days in a row. I know

0:54:37.840 --> 0:54:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the night before he had two doubles hit got off

0:54:40.040 --> 0:54:42.600
<v Speaker 1>to a slow start, and I references regarding Audie your

0:54:42.640 --> 0:54:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Molina was that he didn't play a lot in the spring.

0:54:44.920 --> 0:54:48.400
<v Speaker 1>He had off season knee surgery, so he's slowly working himself.

0:54:48.640 --> 0:54:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Remember this, he's mid thirty, mid to high thirties at

0:54:51.880 --> 0:54:55.200
<v Speaker 1>this point, so he's been around for a while. But yeah, look,

0:54:55.200 --> 0:54:57.520
<v Speaker 1>if we liked Young batting third, we like Zuna batting fourth.

0:54:57.719 --> 0:54:59.480
<v Speaker 1>You like the guy who's batting fifth, No doubt that's

0:54:59.520 --> 0:55:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Marcella's I mean, Molina hits a it's a home run

0:55:03.640 --> 0:55:06.680
<v Speaker 1>last night. So turning in the right direction, getting his

0:55:06.719 --> 0:55:11.080
<v Speaker 1>legs underneath him. Older guy takes some time for good

0:55:11.120 --> 0:55:14.440
<v Speaker 1>for I always liked because he's under good for us,

0:55:15.440 --> 0:55:19.040
<v Speaker 1>like nobody wants because he's an old, an older guy,

0:55:19.160 --> 0:55:21.360
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna fall off. But you know, he hasn't had

0:55:21.440 --> 0:55:23.760
<v Speaker 1>less than a two sixty batting average for like twelve

0:55:23.840 --> 0:55:27.160
<v Speaker 1>straight seasons. He doesn't hurt you there. I believe he

0:55:27.200 --> 0:55:33.480
<v Speaker 1>had twenty home runs last year. Is a man probably

0:55:33.800 --> 0:55:35.520
<v Speaker 1>probably should be right. Like a lot of people will

0:55:35.560 --> 0:55:37.279
<v Speaker 1>just look at the offensive production be like, no, there's

0:55:37.320 --> 0:55:40.080
<v Speaker 1>no way, but the intangibles that he did, the fact

0:55:40.080 --> 0:55:43.080
<v Speaker 1>that you know he's one World Series and as great

0:55:43.120 --> 0:55:45.520
<v Speaker 1>defensively as he is and calling games and everything that

0:55:45.520 --> 0:55:49.160
<v Speaker 1>he's done for the game of baseball, he probably should

0:55:49.160 --> 0:55:51.800
<v Speaker 1>be like first ballot, No way, But does he sneak

0:55:51.840 --> 0:55:53.359
<v Speaker 1>into the Hall of Fame at some point? I think

0:55:53.360 --> 0:55:55.320
<v Speaker 1>he should. What do you think? I don't know. I

0:55:55.400 --> 0:55:59.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of look into it. I have no idea. I'll

0:55:59.280 --> 0:56:02.640
<v Speaker 1>just present I'll just this question, but I don't have

0:56:02.680 --> 0:56:05.720
<v Speaker 1>an opinion on it. I haven't compared him to other catchers.

0:56:05.000 --> 0:56:10.000
<v Speaker 1>So he's thirty six years old, Greg, if he plays

0:56:10.000 --> 0:56:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a couple of more years, is eighteen hundred and sixty hits,

0:56:14.120 --> 0:56:17.400
<v Speaker 1>he'll get to two, you'll get to two thousand hits.

0:56:17.840 --> 0:56:21.600
<v Speaker 1>He's a two eighty two career hitter. He's got a

0:56:21.640 --> 0:56:23.880
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty seven career home runs. Like. He's not

0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:26.200
<v Speaker 1>known for being great offensively, there's no doubt about that.

0:56:26.960 --> 0:56:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to make that case. But everything that

0:56:29.560 --> 0:56:32.080
<v Speaker 1>he's done for, you know, defensively, you look at some

0:56:32.160 --> 0:56:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of these defensive wards here on fan grafs, greg Air massive,

0:56:37.800 --> 0:56:39.759
<v Speaker 1>I think he is. I think yeah, he is a

0:56:39.800 --> 0:56:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer. Okay, well, yeah, like Cardinals, ramanor or whatnot.

0:56:45.480 --> 0:56:47.440
<v Speaker 1>But if you when you think about Hall of Fame,

0:56:47.480 --> 0:56:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people make this case, was he

0:56:49.640 --> 0:56:51.960
<v Speaker 1>ever the best or top three at his position? I

0:56:52.000 --> 0:56:56.000
<v Speaker 1>would say yes, yes, yes, not the best. It wasn't

0:56:56.000 --> 0:56:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the best, but he was always top three, top from

0:56:59.760 --> 0:57:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a fan to see perspective, but overall all right. When

0:57:02.160 --> 0:57:03.680
<v Speaker 1>we came back, when we joined by Chris Ventra and

0:57:03.760 --> 0:57:05.880
