Speaker 1: I checked the day of. You never know, you might
Speaker 1: get desperate and try and so for for let's be
Speaker 1: honest with you, posted all Reddit. What's I post on
Speaker 1: a Reddit asking for tickets? Oh gosh, that's pretty crazy?
Speaker 1: Is that normal one reddit people did all the time?
Speaker 1: Do you know there's lots of StubHub. I'm like, yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: not like I don't want to spend that much money.
Speaker 1: Here's people and rend it like crazy wrestling fans and
Speaker 1: they'll just spend like whatever'll spend like, oh whatever to
Speaker 1: see it. I'm not gonna I'm like, I'm more of
Speaker 1: a practical wrestling fan. I think we're like, listen, you
Speaker 1: can be good seats for hund your box. I'll be
Speaker 1: in like good seats Roger box, not like like the
Speaker 1: middle level. Yeah, yeah, you're not gonna get those now,
Speaker 1: aren't like the nosebleeds a hundreds right now? It's on seeking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that though. I don't know. I think like,
Speaker 1: all days, what are you doing? Friday? You have plans?
Speaker 1: Friday did not have any plans, all right, so maybe
Speaker 1: I find the tickets on Friday, We'll just I will
Speaker 1: just go. I already boy, I already bought tickets to
Speaker 1: Saturday's wrestling event, so I don't I don't know if
Speaker 1: I go to wrestling Friday. If we had good seats
Speaker 1: on Friday, you and go, We're gonna price on Friday,
Speaker 1: you and go. Potentially, It's all I needed to hear.
Speaker 1: You let me know. So it happens Friday. Let's spend
Speaker 1: all day refreshing. Anyone else want to come to wrestling?
Speaker 1: Boys were connections. And then for those who asked about
Speaker 1: Eric Young, I already asked, tried, We tried. Um okay,
Speaker 1: I want to start Todays show. We have a lot
Speaker 1: of pitching stuff to get into from last night. We
Speaker 1: learned a lot last night, which was cool. Um. Florida
Speaker 1: was hyped about Drew Palmers, like awesome, man, that's that's
Speaker 1: that's great. I literally woke at the Florial squads Drew Palmerans,
Speaker 1: Ryan O'Hearn, Alex Wood Hop, Alex Woods, and I woke
Speaker 1: up this morning to text from Floria. Man, I'm so
Speaker 1: hyped about palm Rans like and Niko Lent's gotta like
Speaker 1: get you do something else, man, you're sitting there so
Speaker 1: hyped about Drew Palmers. That was one of my thought
Speaker 1: process was this morning, I'm so white man. There's one
Speaker 1: thing that you text me last night, like a kunia,
Speaker 1: Like cool, get it, Like we have a kunya. He's
Speaker 1: our he's our first round pick. You probably at home
Speaker 1: runs first one the year, like all right, Like I was.
Speaker 1: I was pumped to see that text message for me
Speaker 1: last night. I sat watch a whole Yankee game like
Speaker 1: I get it. But again, so hyped about Drew Palmers,
Speaker 1: like I understand that Matt Stromp pitched really well last night,
Speaker 1: Like I get it, Like you didn't get the text
Speaker 1: message from me, like Brad Peacock having a great game
Speaker 1: last night, and I love Peacock a lot. I was
Speaker 1: on him everywhere I do. I have a lot of shares,
Speaker 1: Brocky Peacock. You didn't get that. Probably should have tweeted
Speaker 1: out of victory lab Greg Peacocks, young, let's go. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Floria did either. I just thought it
Speaker 1: was funny that that was a tax I woke up
Speaker 1: to this morning. Look, I guess there's a lot worse
Speaker 1: you could be excited about. Hungreg you know what we
Speaker 1: kill like, we kill people, And you said yesterday that
Speaker 1: like anyone that everyone's hyped about, like you're out on that.
Speaker 1: Dr Palmerens is not someone everyone hypes about. So it's
Speaker 1: actually dropped. It seems it seems kind of unfair to
Speaker 1: like kill Floria over being like hyped out these ugly players,
Speaker 1: and then kill Florida to be hyped about the hype players.
Speaker 1: That doesn't We're just gonna Florio. It doesn't see it
Speaker 1: doesn't seem fair, to be honest with you, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do it anyway. We were all about fairness and justice here, Greg,
Speaker 1: but when it comes to Florio, we don't have to
Speaker 1: abide by those standards, you know, we can you kind
Speaker 1: of flip the script on it totally. So the is
Speaker 1: that where you want to start. I don't want to
Speaker 1: start your pomerance youre aos like. I want to do
Speaker 1: that a little bit later on, because that game is
Speaker 1: really a lot to take you out of. So I
Speaker 1: want to do that in a bit. I want to
Speaker 1: start with obviously the New York Yankees, and I get it.
Speaker 1: We did it yesterday with Stanton. I didn't start the
Speaker 1: show with Stanton and in the middle of the show.
Speaker 1: You we probably kind of bury the lead here, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that again. And I think
Speaker 1: the lead really is there's two injuries, and one is
Speaker 1: with the Yankees, one with the Rockies. We'll start with Yankees,
Speaker 1: get the Rockies in a second, Michel, and you Harror
Speaker 1: has a small tear in his shoulder. Uh, that's bad
Speaker 1: and could require season ending surgery. The Yankees are going
Speaker 1: to try to have and you Hard you nothing over
Speaker 1: the next two weeks, see if it improves a bit,
Speaker 1: and if not, he'll have to have season ending surgery.
Speaker 1: This is a brutal, brutal, brutal injury if you are
Speaker 1: a Miguel and har fan, if you're a Miguel and
Speaker 1: Her owner, And makes us feel really good, Frank, if
Speaker 1: I getting justin Turner rather than endure brutal brutal injury. Yeah,
Speaker 1: real bad one here. And you know, I was actually
Speaker 1: talking with a Yankee fan and buddy of mine yesterday
Speaker 1: and talking about you know, Ando Hard why isn't he
Speaker 1: in the line up yesterday? Um? And then he told me,
Speaker 1: you know, he looked a little bit off this weekend.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be surprised if he's hurt. Boom. A couple
Speaker 1: of hours later, ops with the shoulder injury. Boom. A
Speaker 1: couple of hours later, comes out that there's a small
Speaker 1: tear in the shoulder in the labor here. So and
Speaker 1: I think I told really bad injury as right when
Speaker 1: you said that techest last night. They're like, oh, here's
Speaker 1: why dr is not in the lineup. And I looked
Speaker 1: into it. It's like, oh, he's got a shoulder injury.
Speaker 1: Tests are still come like this isn't good because he
Speaker 1: was like, all right, his shoulders bothering and Bruce shoulder.
Speaker 1: They would have just lay he's a little bang adult, Okay,
Speaker 1: him out for the night. Well, we'll see how he
Speaker 1: feels tomorrow. They didn't do any of that. It was
Speaker 1: like testlo, this is bad. And he was placed on
Speaker 1: the I l almost immediately so and it just came
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. We get staying earlier in the day
Speaker 1: and then we get and do harr And you know
Speaker 1: a lot of people were expecting and hard to hit
Speaker 1: for a good batting average, obviously based on what he
Speaker 1: did as a rookie. You don't often Gregg and we
Speaker 1: spoke about this during draft season. Is that Andrew Harror
Speaker 1: got better in the second half as a rookie, you know,
Speaker 1: the second third time around when he's seeing starting pitchers again.
Speaker 1: Normally that's when rookies struggled. But he got better, and
Speaker 1: the power got during the second half, and the launch
Speaker 1: Anglo got better in the second half. So a lot
Speaker 1: of people were expecting a good batting average this year,
Speaker 1: maybe close to three hundred. Those two thirty home runs.
Speaker 1: Thirty home runs obviously, you know batting fift and Yankees order,
Speaker 1: no county stats are gonna be there. R b I's runs,
Speaker 1: there's a lot to like. Even in points leaves, he
Speaker 1: hits a lot of doubles. So this is, uh, this
Speaker 1: is a pretty legitimate void to fill. You know. I
Speaker 1: saw a few NFBC leagues where he went for over
Speaker 1: twenty dollars in the in auctions and fifteen team auctions,
Speaker 1: and he's a in a round player, but a lot
Speaker 1: of people drafted him as their starting third basement. Now
Speaker 1: we're we're left to pick up the pieces again, trying
Speaker 1: to find another third base for replacement. Obviously you can
Speaker 1: look in house with dzit mayhe Yeah, and that's exactly
Speaker 1: what it's better to say, I think we talked about
Speaker 1: him very briefly yesterday. I think that it deserves it
Speaker 1: and extended conversation now because I think digital and Mayhew,
Speaker 1: who's going to start every day at third base for
Speaker 1: the New York Yankees. Every day will be a lot
Speaker 1: of every day, I should say, because Tool is going
Speaker 1: to need days off and h Tyler Way you'll get
Speaker 1: in there. But digitally, Mayhew playing every day now for
Speaker 1: the Yankees. This is a guy that is a forward
Speaker 1: batting champion. Um, it's a guy that, uh, the Yankees
Speaker 1: signed with the with the idea that they're gonna play
Speaker 1: him four out of seven days before the six days
Speaker 1: whatever you said yesterday and now I was gonna play
Speaker 1: every day. And this is a guy that all right,
Speaker 1: power should translate the Yankees stadium a bit nothing, a
Speaker 1: ton of power. Good average guy, good on base guy.
Speaker 1: He can help you in fantasy leagues, especially in categories
Speaker 1: like average and runs which were always chasing. Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: And he's really good for points leagues because he doesn't
Speaker 1: strike out, he makes a lot contact. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna hit a lot of doubles. Um, you know, a
Speaker 1: much needed element to the Yankees lineup based on you know,
Speaker 1: they have a lot of guys who strike out, so
Speaker 1: he's a great fielder. He makes a lot of contact.
Speaker 1: I think you hit it on the head, Greg, He'll
Speaker 1: probably contribute batting average to eight plus. Batting average is
Speaker 1: what I would expect. He'll score some runs, maybe get
Speaker 1: some r B I s if he moves up in
Speaker 1: the order because everyone's hurt, so everyone's sliding up a
Speaker 1: little bit in the order right now. And he's gonna
Speaker 1: play every single day. So if you want some cheap
Speaker 1: exposure to the Yankees lineup, this is an easy way
Speaker 1: to do it. You're gonna have second base eligibility and
Speaker 1: it won't be long before he has third base eligibility.
Speaker 1: So obviously that helps as well, that that dual position eligibility,
Speaker 1: middle infield, corner infield. But let's just temper expectations. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's a ton of upside with detail Mayhew.
Speaker 1: Good batting average, maybe decent run scored, but he's not
Speaker 1: gonna blow you away. Would not the same situation, would
Speaker 1: you rather own clip Frasier Mayhew? I think it's a
Speaker 1: roster construction thing. It's what do you want because I
Speaker 1: think it will make you safer, so much safer when
Speaker 1: Fraser has a lot of upside, because which is why
Speaker 1: I wrote it up. If he if he performs well
Speaker 1: while he's up right now, I think even once Aaron Hicks,
Speaker 1: absolutely they make him the starting Outfieler Brett Gardner pushed
Speaker 1: to the bench. I think, I think an ideal world.
Speaker 1: I think an ideal world, that's exactly what would happen,
Speaker 1: that Clint Fraser runs away with this job and he
Speaker 1: can't leave the story lineup. I think that's exactly what
Speaker 1: they want to happen. But to me, it's very obviously
Speaker 1: dig May huge. I don't want you to forget like
Speaker 1: he was really good for a long time in Colorado,
Speaker 1: not like otherworldly. And I don't know that Clint Frasier
Speaker 1: can be otherworldly, but dig May he's a good player.
Speaker 1: And I think if you lost d J, if you
Speaker 1: lost Daniel Murphy will get to you one moment where
Speaker 1: you lost Michel and Dard who is a very obvious
Speaker 1: and good replacement in leagues. I truly believe that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: throw out Ryan Healey's name once again. You know I
Speaker 1: mentioned him yesterday as a as a waiver wire pickup.
Speaker 1: He would over four yesterday, but leading up until that,
Speaker 1: I mean this Mariner's lineup is red hot. He's gonna
Speaker 1: play every single day until Kyle Seeger is back. So
Speaker 1: looking at Ryan Healy, Yandy Diaz and deeper leagues as
Speaker 1: Drew Cabrera in shallower leagues, Ryan McMann should be owned
Speaker 1: in all leagues as well. But if you're just looking
Speaker 1: in house right now, let Mayhew and Clint Fraser make
Speaker 1: four decent ads again. Let Mayhew Safer, I think Clint Fraser,
Speaker 1: if you're looking for the upside. We got some clarity
Speaker 1: on the Colorado situation as well, with Daniel Murphy going
Speaker 1: to be out at least a month with his finger injury,
Speaker 1: and I think we kind of saw that writing on
Speaker 1: the wall yesterday, Frank, when we talked about this, we
Speaker 1: mentioned Mark Reynolds is a sneaky ad, Ryan McMahon, Garrett Hampson,
Speaker 1: all guys that are gonna get extended playing time with
Speaker 1: Daniel Murphy on the shelf. Brutal luck for Murphy owners
Speaker 1: who of course has something to do with his knees
Speaker 1: a finger. And you could never have predicted that. Um
Speaker 1: I mentioned may He was a guy at former Rocky
Speaker 1: that could replace Murphy in your lineup. But the Rockies
Speaker 1: guys could all replace and do her potentially as well.
Speaker 1: I believe that Ryan mcmana's third base eligibility as well. No,
Speaker 1: this is a first and second. He has first, second,
Speaker 1: and third, of course, right he does in y'allhoo. So
Speaker 1: in y'allhoo, Ryan McMann gotta do it all for you,
Speaker 1: And I think that's certainly intriguing. Uh Hampson in NFBC,
Speaker 1: he only has first base and hell game, so it's
Speaker 1: gonna be first and second. Well, second may not come
Speaker 1: so quickly anymore, now could he plays first base every day?
Speaker 1: He has three under his belt, right, so he only
Speaker 1: needs two more five Okay, so maybe it don't come sooner.
Speaker 1: I just thought that they'll play first base probably almost
Speaker 1: every day now, I would think. M I think maybe
Speaker 1: they'll mix things up. I mean, there's still gonna be
Speaker 1: days where you know, Mark Reynolds first and Ryan McMahon's
Speaker 1: at second and and Garret Hampson's not in the lineup.
Speaker 1: But you were. You hit it on the head yesterday
Speaker 1: to Greg when you mentioned they have a designated hitter
Speaker 1: last night, so Garet Hampson better be in the lineup.
Speaker 1: Indeed he was, he was batting ninth. Mark Reynolds was
Speaker 1: a designated hitter and it had Ryan Man at first,
Speaker 1: so you're right about that. But I think once they
Speaker 1: get away from the designated hitter, they're still gonna be
Speaker 1: games where Mark Reynolds plays at first, Ryan Man at second.
Speaker 1: So it won't be long before he gains that eligibility
Speaker 1: if you play in NFBC or maybe even CBS. Let
Speaker 1: me see what Ray McMahon's eligibility is and TPS. I
Speaker 1: know Yahoo again, as if you ever looked at a
Speaker 1: base on Yahoo, you have that eligibility. He only has
Speaker 1: first base eligibility on CBS as well, so the second
Speaker 1: basis is coming at some point. Um again, tough to replace,
Speaker 1: frustrating or replace, but not old woman yesterday. Yes, he's
Speaker 1: still only on in Yahoo. I think he should be
Speaker 1: owning all twelve team league. Well, he's hot. He's hot.
Speaker 1: That's the same question I asked you the end of
Speaker 1: last week, though, Colton Wong or Tim Beckham who has
Speaker 1: remained hot as well? It's a good question. I would
Speaker 1: take Colton Wong because the Cardinals line up is better.
Speaker 1: He has your upside in terms of power speed combination.
Speaker 1: Tim Beckham is not gonna steal any basis, but we
Speaker 1: already saw a gamer. Colton Wong had two stolen bases.
Speaker 1: He now has three homers on the year, two stolen bases,
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals line up is just better. I think
Speaker 1: it's close, but I'll take okay. I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: Both these guys obviously very hot right now and make
Speaker 1: obvious replacements. You can have to play the hot hand,
Speaker 1: and when they get cold, don't be afraid to drop him.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong with that. UM. One
Speaker 1: more thing I want to note before we move on.
Speaker 1: We'll hit the break and we'll kind of reset Chris Teller.
Speaker 1: I guess I should say this for the Dodgers Parker
Speaker 1: Chris Taylor playing another against another lefty. UM. We talked
Speaker 1: about the Dodgers are facing all these lefties. Jock Peters
Speaker 1: gonna be on the bench. Chris Tayler got in there,
Speaker 1: hit a home run yesterday, and he mashes lefties. And
Speaker 1: if you're in a daily line up league, Chris Tayler
Speaker 1: is a guy that against lefties, you may want to
Speaker 1: you know, throw in there potentially. Yeah, he was betting
Speaker 1: seventh last night. In the past three games that he's
Speaker 1: uh that he's appeared in or started, he has betted
Speaker 1: seventh and all those So yeah, lefties for sure transactions leagues. Um,
Speaker 1: the Dodgers lineup is red hot to start the year,
Speaker 1: and not so much last night. They only scored two runs,
Speaker 1: but over the weekend they were awesome. So if you
Speaker 1: want some cheap exposure to the Dodgers line up, I
Speaker 1: know if you drafted a little bit earlier on, you
Speaker 1: might have expected Chris Taylor to be your starting shortstop
Speaker 1: or maybe your fifth outfielder. But it doesn't look like
Speaker 1: he's gonna play every day. But against left handed pitching,
Speaker 1: he should be in their absolutely. Okay, So we'll take
Speaker 1: a break here. When we come back, we were gonna
Speaker 1: I want to, I guess hit on this Blue Jay's trade,
Speaker 1: see if there's anything there for any fantasy perspective, and
Speaker 1: they get into what we learned last night. We'll start
Speaker 1: with you Palmerans and San Francisco against the against the
Speaker 1: Dodgers and Julia Rayas, who was just unbelievable last night.
Speaker 1: So we'll get to both of those starting pitchers and
Speaker 1: will work away around the majors and what we learned
Speaker 1: and what's real and what's fake and who you need
Speaker 1: to run in the way wire to picked up. And
Speaker 1: at least for me Frank who plays in the Daily
Speaker 1: Transaction League, we doesn't have to wait for waivers to
Speaker 1: run that has first come, first served like a lot
Speaker 1: of public leagues. I think we should kind of do
Speaker 1: something every day. We're like, all right, you gotta pick
Speaker 1: on this guy right now, like this is they must add.
Speaker 1: And I think that would be cool to institute today,
Speaker 1: if that's all right with you. All right, when we
Speaker 1: come back, we'll get into everything you missed from last
Speaker 1: night's the ground Fantasy best Friends Forever Fantasy Sports. Right

Speaker 1: four p m. Eastern one pm only on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Network, We're back with you, Fantasy best Friends Forever,
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports Radio Network. That's Frank Stanfell. I am Greg
Speaker 1: Sussman and Frank. Right before we went on the air,
Speaker 1: we saw my interesting shade between the Toronto Blue Jays
Speaker 1: and the San Francisco Giants, who are Remember we're starting
Speaker 1: two outfielders that on opening day we had never heard
Speaker 1: of them. And you know, you have dived into this
Speaker 1: as much as humanly possible over the basketball months, and
Speaker 1: you didn't know who to the starting outfielders on the
Speaker 1: San Francisco Giants were opening day in Connor Joe and
Speaker 1: Michael reid Well. One of those starting outfielders is no
Speaker 1: longer a starting outfield in the San Francisco Giants because
Speaker 1: they've acquired Kevin Polar from the Toronto Blue Jays in
Speaker 1: exchange for Alan Hanson who was daide, Derek Law who's
Speaker 1: df aide, and Wanda Paula who came over from the
Speaker 1: Yankees in the Andrew McCutcheon deal. They will open up
Speaker 1: playing time for Anthony Alfred. Uh for Toronto will also
Speaker 1: see obviously more of Billy McKinney, Tiasta Hernandez as well.
Speaker 1: So the Blue Jays opening up playing time for their
Speaker 1: young outfielders while the Giants get major league quality talent
Speaker 1: in their lineup. What do you think this trade? Is
Speaker 1: there any fantasy implications? I think the Blue Jays are
Speaker 1: going through a little bit of a youth movement here,
Speaker 1: doing the trades with Kendrick's Morales right before the season
Speaker 1: started and then trading away Kevin Polar as well. They
Speaker 1: want to give some opportunities to rowdy t Lez only
Speaker 1: twenty four years old. You mentioned Tiascar Nanda's gonna get
Speaker 1: more playing time. Billy McKinney, former Yankee prospect as well,
Speaker 1: He's not even twenty five years old. They have him
Speaker 1: as a platoon bat rosster resource. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: gonna bat against lefties. He has a little bit of pop,
Speaker 1: He's got some full BP skills. But you mentioned Anthony Alfred,
Speaker 1: I think it's worth mentioning. You know, former top ish
Speaker 1: prospect for the Toronto Blue Jays in the outfield there.
Speaker 1: Last year's struggle to thirty eight in the miners and
Speaker 1: twenty strikeouts, only five homers seventeen steals, but the year
Speaker 1: before that with the three nine O b P, five homers,
Speaker 1: nineteen steels, So doesn't really have a lot of pop,
Speaker 1: but has some speed. He performed well in spring training
Speaker 1: in thirty three at bats. He had four homers, seven RBIs,
Speaker 1: two stolen bases, but eleven strikeouts to forty two. So
Speaker 1: it seems like he has some power speed potential, but
Speaker 1: strikes out a lot. Um. You know, if I'm looking
Speaker 1: at anyone here, I think he might have the most
Speaker 1: upside of all of them, Anthony Alfred. But it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a jumbled up group. It's gonna be Tiascar, Hernandez
Speaker 1: h Alfred, Um, William McKinney is. And that makes as well.
Speaker 1: They're gonna have roddy, rowdy t lez A d H.
Speaker 1: You gonna have Randall Green play center field now as well? Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I wonder is he is he a center fielder though?
Speaker 1: I think they're going to use him at center field
Speaker 1: might be their best actual center field essentually, so I
Speaker 1: think you'll see Green out in center field though, speaking
Speaker 1: of outfielders before we get to the the others out
Speaker 1: of the trade, and you've got asked for another question
Speaker 1: after the Ronald Lacuna a rich man. He has signed
Speaker 1: an eight year, one hundred million dollar contract extension with
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves. He'll be in Atlanta for a long time.
Speaker 1: The deal includes two club options, according in Jeff Passon
Speaker 1: of ESPN, good for Ronald lacunas you mentioned, eight for
Speaker 1: one hundred that's interesting. Yeah, a lot of these teams
Speaker 1: opting to UH to sign these younger players were seeing
Speaker 1: a lot of these deals. Now, obviously what Himan is
Speaker 1: before even you know, takes a plate, appearances and the majors.
Speaker 1: He signed an extension and then the same thing with
Speaker 1: Ronald Lacuna. This could turn out to be a huge,
Speaker 1: huge bargain for the Atlanta Braves based on what he
Speaker 1: did last year obviously was awesome in the second half
Speaker 1: and being drafted in the first round of Fantasy drafts,
Speaker 1: a lot of high expectations. So atcome up for the
Speaker 1: next eight years at a hundred million, It's a risk
Speaker 1: reward but could pay off huge for the Atlanta Braves. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: absolutely could be a corner stone piece for the Atlanta Braves.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they hope he is, along with Assie Albis,
Speaker 1: Dansay Swanson, and the rest of the young players in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Back to the trade, now, would you rather pick up
Speaker 1: Anthony Alfred to Clint Fraser if you read out what
Speaker 1: all for did in the springs? Actually better what for
Speaker 1: what Fraser did in the spring. Yeah, I'd still take
Speaker 1: a shot on Clint Fraser just because I think he
Speaker 1: is actually gonna see more regular playing time now with
Speaker 1: the Yankees with the injuries to stay in obviously they
Speaker 1: need outfielders, so I think he's going to see more
Speaker 1: regular playing time. Still kind of jumbled up the Blue Jays,
Speaker 1: but I think it's close. In fifteen team leagues, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, if I have players to drop, I would
Speaker 1: take upside shots on on both of these fair enough
Speaker 1: if you have if you have the rosters roster, which
Speaker 1: is probably in the fifteen teamers, I'm probably not adding
Speaker 1: these guys. Maybe in a twelve team or with deeper
Speaker 1: bench spots, like I'll take a shot on Clint Fraser
Speaker 1: for the upside, but twelve teamers I'm probably just watching
Speaker 1: right now. Outlist kind of thing. But fifteen teamers, I
Speaker 1: would take a shot on on either one of these guys.
Speaker 1: I like Clint Fraser a little bit more. With Alan
Speaker 1: Hansen Um and Derek Law, they just basically get some
Speaker 1: death obviously the infield position and in relief with Derek Law,
Speaker 1: who does have some closing experience. So anything ever happens
Speaker 1: to Ken Gile, is Derek Law a name to watch
Speaker 1: only then Um with Toronto. On the other side, Kevin
Speaker 1: Pollard goes over to San Francisco, He'll be there in
Speaker 1: your starting center fielder on a daily basis. But Lar
Speaker 1: seems to have fantasy value at points each and every season.
Speaker 1: Uh is that season? Now? Is that time of the
Speaker 1: season now I should say, Uh, Well, it's hard to
Speaker 1: tell because he's always streaky. You mentioned it, Greg. It
Speaker 1: seems like we do this thing at the end of
Speaker 1: April every year. Is just the real Kevin Poar where
Speaker 1: he's going off and he has like five homers and
Speaker 1: five stolen bases and then he slows down any tricks
Speaker 1: everyone but you know who he is at this point.
Speaker 1: Look the past two seasons between two fifty and two
Speaker 1: fifties six batting average. So that's what you're gonna get
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen homers. That that number actually probably goes down
Speaker 1: this year with San Francisco, he was hitting in Toronto
Speaker 1: in the American League. Geese was obviously much better for
Speaker 1: his fantasy value. So maybe he's like ten to twelve homers.
Speaker 1: You can still count on him for fifteen stolen bases.
Speaker 1: This is a classic fifth outfielder in a fifteen team league. Greg,
Speaker 1: anything shallower than that. I don't really want anything to
Speaker 1: do with him, but it is worth noting that. And
Speaker 1: only he's gonna be added to the player pool because
Speaker 1: he was traded from Ale only only so you're playing
Speaker 1: and only this is the way for you to get uh,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe ten twelve homers and twelve stone basis. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's it's a great point. And now only
Speaker 1: is where you're going to want to um where you're
Speaker 1: gonna want to invest in a guy like Kevin Pollar. Tonight,
Speaker 1: By the way, you get Bryce Harper's return to Washington.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're as we glued to that, he posted
Speaker 1: on Instagram earlier this morning. A nice heartfelt message will
Speaker 1: stop him getting booed? Probably not, but nice heartfelt message
Speaker 1: there from Bryce Harper earlier today. Now let's move on
Speaker 1: to what we missed last night. I want us we
Speaker 1: were talking about the Giants. Let's start with the Giants,
Speaker 1: who we kind of kept beating around this a little bit.
Speaker 1: So I want to start with the Dodgers and the Giants,
Speaker 1: and that's a place in Los Angeles. As Drew palmerans
Speaker 1: pitch very very well for San Francisco, going five innings,
Speaker 1: six hits, two runs, six strikeouts through ninety pitches. Look
Speaker 1: pretty good. The most important thing is Floyda Kemp reminding
Speaker 1: me was the velocity is back, and he's hype baby.
Speaker 1: He's hype baby, Drew Palm rans of all players, Uh,
Speaker 1: I think in deeper leagues we were taking a few
Speaker 1: shots here. Just because it plays in San Francisco, we're doing.
Speaker 1: It's a good it's a good place to pitch. Obviously,
Speaker 1: he's shown in the past that he could pitch in
Speaker 1: in Boston, so if you could do that, then you know,
Speaker 1: obviously moving over to San Francisco, he's dealt with a
Speaker 1: ton of injuries and you know, we'll take it a
Speaker 1: start by start basis, like we don't know how many
Speaker 1: anyings we're gonna get from a guy like Drew palm Rans.
Speaker 1: He could get hurt at any point. But Greig, last
Speaker 1: year his fastball velocity was eighty nine point three miles
Speaker 1: per hour on average. I know it's only one start,
Speaker 1: but yesterday it was ninety two point one mile per hour,
Speaker 1: which if the season ended today, would be the highest
Speaker 1: of his career. So, you know, it's good to see
Speaker 1: the fastball velocity back. He's basically just a fastball curveball guy.
Speaker 1: I don't really love pictures that only throw two pitches,
Speaker 1: but Drew palm Rans has been able to get away
Speaker 1: with it in his career. Um And you know, he
Speaker 1: had seven swinging strikes last night on ninety pitches. Not
Speaker 1: a ton of swinging strikes, but it was good to
Speaker 1: see the fastball velocity up. So I'm with Florio in
Speaker 1: deeper leagues, you know, fourteen teams are deeper. Fifteen teams
Speaker 1: like I want, I want chairs of Drew Palmerans. He
Speaker 1: was dropped in my main event. I might, I might
Speaker 1: take a stab at it, but you know, twelve teen leagues,
Speaker 1: he's below all the guys we mentioned yesterday, the Marlins
Speaker 1: guy Smith, but he's something. He's a name that I
Speaker 1: would pay attention to that. I totally agree. He's the
Speaker 1: guy that I don't know. I'm not in my twelveteen leagues.
Speaker 1: Even really adding to the watch list like it's like
Speaker 1: the Marlins guys really intrigued me a lot more. I
Speaker 1: think you should be on the watch list. I think,
Speaker 1: I guess you watch This could be anybody, so sure,
Speaker 1: why not. I do want to note that the thing
Speaker 1: didn't do with the watchless. I do want to know
Speaker 1: things went really according to plan here for San Francisco
Speaker 1: with milansin, Tony Watson and then will Smith going seven
Speaker 1: eight nine, one inning a piece. They all pitch beautifully,
Speaker 1: no one let up a run. It's Will Smith very
Speaker 1: consistently in the closer role, followed by Watson before and
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a lefty right anything, and
Speaker 1: then Milansen in the seventh. So I just want to
Speaker 1: note that as we kind of take a look at
Speaker 1: closers in the future if it ever comes to that.
Speaker 1: So Melansen, okay, because they'll trade away will Smith and okay,
Speaker 1: that's what they should do, at least in my opinion,
Speaker 1: because they don't have a good farm system, and I
Speaker 1: think the strength of that team is in their bullpen
Speaker 1: right now. I think they get rid of a lot
Speaker 1: of those relievers. Maybe they trade away Madison bump Garner.
Speaker 1: They're gonna trade await anyone that has value because they
Speaker 1: need to rebuild that farm system. As you find it
Speaker 1: funny that the text was being publish about Drew Palmer
Speaker 1: Ran rather than the man that was on the other
Speaker 1: side that pitched better than him, and that was Julio
Speaker 1: your Eyes. Five intes pitch, three hits, no walks, no runs,
Speaker 1: seven strikeouts through seventy seven pitches. Dodgers are going to
Speaker 1: be very very careful with their prize young arm. But
Speaker 1: last night he was spectacular. Again, everyone looks spectacular against
Speaker 1: the Giants, So I don't want to take this with
Speaker 1: a grain of salt because of how good he is.
Speaker 1: There's a great first step for Julio your Eyes, just
Speaker 1: like it was for Paddock uh and for the other
Speaker 1: San Diego guys in the weekend. We really rise. Is
Speaker 1: actually someone that I trust a little bit more. Though
Speaker 1: it's not just the magic pig San Francisco Giants. It's
Speaker 1: the pedigree. It's if you watch the start, it's just
Speaker 1: how he looked. I mean the fastball velocity was average
Speaker 1: per hour. He topped out at ninety point eight miles
Speaker 1: per hour at times. Last night. He had five swinging
Speaker 1: strikes on the festival, he had fourteen swinging strikes overall.
Speaker 1: Greg he threw four different pitches at least eleven times yesterday,
Speaker 1: so he's got a diverse arsenal. He's got the four steamer.
Speaker 1: He threw a slider, he threw a changeup, and he
Speaker 1: had a cutter. And there was a few gifts last
Speaker 1: night floating around above the slider that he threw. It
Speaker 1: might have been to Brandon Belt or Joe Panic. It
Speaker 1: was a left handed bat. Just made him look absolutely foolish.
Speaker 1: So lots of upside for Julio your eas but again
Speaker 1: it's you know how deep is he gonna go into games?
Speaker 1: If you're play in points leagues or quality start leagues,
Speaker 1: I don't think your ryce is gonna help you out
Speaker 1: much there. But if you play in rhodo, just what
Speaker 1: can you do for me on a per ending basis,
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go five maybe sometimes you go six
Speaker 1: endings pitched with a good ear ay, a good whip
Speaker 1: and a strike up per ending, maybe even over a
Speaker 1: Strikeoup per ending. I mean he could be money, Greg.
Speaker 1: This is a prime example of Florio's quality greater sign
Speaker 1: quantity clias And really all the Dodgers are are child
Speaker 1: but you Rice is upside is absolutely his upside is
Speaker 1: massive at the moment. Really, your Ryes um to me
Speaker 1: if he's out there and I don't know that he
Speaker 1: has been twelve least, he certainly could be your Ryes
Speaker 1: above a lot of the nail almost all the dames
Speaker 1: I mentioned you want to do this guy should be owned,
Speaker 1: should be I think to like if he's out there,
Speaker 1: I think so too. I think from yesterday owned in Yahoo.
Speaker 1: So it so mostly is if your Ryes out there
Speaker 1: and again owned in Yahoo leagues probably isn't He's the
Speaker 1: guy that I dropped someone right now to go pick
Speaker 1: up who Lily your eyes is today's pick up of
Speaker 1: the day. And I'll come up with the catch. And
Speaker 1: now we might come across a few more of them
Speaker 1: as the show goes on. Almost what happens. I gotta
Speaker 1: go about some catch here and then think up with
Speaker 1: the day. Don't like that, I mean, this is your baby,
Speaker 1: So I'll work on it. I'll work on them and
Speaker 1: make a graphic, I got a lot lot to do
Speaker 1: it all right. Uh, the Dodgers defeated the Dodgers. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry felt the Giants for to two in this one.
Speaker 1: Uh the scoring team I mentioned Chris Taylor, Alex Ford
Speaker 1: got to pick a home run as well, and Brandon
Speaker 1: Bell Pablo Sandoval alright cool noting the Verdugo home run
Speaker 1: was against palm Ran so lefty on lefty, which maybe
Speaker 1: in the long run helps him. Maybe, but there's no probably,
Speaker 1: there's no path to playing times like Dodgers are the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: but he's been a long time prospect for them for
Speaker 1: a while, mainly a platoon bat like maybe sometimes he'll
Speaker 1: play against right handed pitching, but I think the fact
Speaker 1: that he hit a home run against the lefty holds
Speaker 1: well for his long term out. There's no paths to
Speaker 1: playing time, which is what bothers me for Alex Virdugo.
Speaker 1: I think the talent is there and that Modica has
Speaker 1: been extremely eye in Verdugo for years now, and I wish,
Speaker 1: you know we could be as well. We haven't. Do
Speaker 1: you think Mordka is a closet Dodgers fan. He loves
Speaker 1: all the loves the Dodgers. I think he's a closet
Speaker 1: money fan and he likes to make money and the Dodges.
Speaker 1: He's not really a closet fan about that. He's just
Speaker 1: a fan of money. I think most people are. Yes,
Speaker 1: that makes sense, So there you go. Dodgers fell forward
Speaker 1: to two to the Giants. I wanted to move on
Speaker 1: to Texas because, imagined Brad Peacock before. Actually, I'll do that.
Speaker 1: I'll do that, then I'll get to Toronto after this,
Speaker 1: after the break probably, um, but Here'ston defeated Texas two
Speaker 1: to one. As a man, Brad Peacock go six and two.
Speaker 1: There's only last two hits, one of which is the
Speaker 1: Ronald Guzman solo shot. Five strike hats, didn't walk anybody
Speaker 1: through eight six pitches. You're Brad Peacock owner, this is
Speaker 1: the best you absolutely could have hoped for. It was
Speaker 1: a great start for him. Obviously a week Rangers lineup,
Speaker 1: but definitely a good start by Brad Peacock. Yeah. We
Speaker 1: we said yesterday is good pictures are supposed to dominate
Speaker 1: bad lineups, and that's exactly what Brad Peacock did yesterday.
Speaker 1: I really like the length Greggy that he goes here
Speaker 1: at six point two and pitched so very efficient yesterday
Speaker 1: only two hits, zero walks. That's a huge key to
Speaker 1: I love seeing that five strikeouts, zero walks for Brad Peacock.
Speaker 1: He had nine swinging strikes. Would I like to see
Speaker 1: that number a little bit higher, especially against the Texas
Speaker 1: Rangers because miss a lot, so I want to see
Speaker 1: those swinging strikes come up a little bit. But all
Speaker 1: in all, very good outing for Brad Peacock. I love
Speaker 1: the strikeout to walk rasing for the Rangers. And no
Speaker 1: guy you were looking at was Drew Smiley, who made
Speaker 1: his return to starting rotation through seventy three pitches through
Speaker 1: three innings, only a lot of run um. Not exactly
Speaker 1: a great start though. It was not great, but I
Speaker 1: don't think it was terrible either, based on the fact
Speaker 1: that he was going up against Houston. Look, this is
Speaker 1: first start in a few years, so let's see what
Speaker 1: happens again. This is deeper a know, only fifteen team
Speaker 1: makes maybe even deeper than that, you know, twelve team leagues.
Speaker 1: I'm not really paying attention to Drew Miley, but he
Speaker 1: was a guy who did have upside in years past
Speaker 1: and now he's getting an opportunity to pitch in the
Speaker 1: Rangers rotations, so it could have been a lot worse.
Speaker 1: Let's see what happened Rucken and odor I got thrown
Speaker 1: out for the first time this year. It was good
Speaker 1: to see that he was running, but he does get
Speaker 1: thrown out on the base path, which is a little
Speaker 1: bit frustrating. George Springer hits his second whole run of
Speaker 1: the season of his only hit of the day, um
Speaker 1: most Korea. Three for four and since he's been back
Speaker 1: over the last two days, very good. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 1: good for Corea owners, obviously, it's what you want to see. Hey,
Speaker 1: don't get hurt across your fingers. Hope he stays healthy.
Speaker 1: Hopefully we see some of that power come to He
Speaker 1: has not hit a home run yet, but it's only
Speaker 1: been two games. That's what I want to see is
Speaker 1: last year you could tell he was hurt because it
Speaker 1: affected his eggit velocity and ability to drive the ball.
Speaker 1: I know some of those things came back during the spring.
Speaker 1: He saw the exit velo up. He was hitting a
Speaker 1: lot of balls hard. So that's what I'll be paying
Speaker 1: attended to. How are his bats coming along, How hard
Speaker 1: is how hard of contact is he making? Is he
Speaker 1: driving the ball? Does he look healthy so far? Through
Speaker 1: two games he does look pretty good. Before we had
Speaker 1: the break, will hit one more game? I guess I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it's for Rono and so after the break.
Speaker 1: But the Yankees defeated the Tigers three to one yesterday.
Speaker 1: Domingo Harman the story of the game for me. Five innings,
Speaker 1: one run, he walked five and struck out seven. And
Speaker 1: this is basically the story of Domingo Harman. Much like
Speaker 1: Jimmy Yako, bothnus for the Baltimore Orioles great stuff. He
Speaker 1: just has no idea where the ball is going at all,
Speaker 1: and that's why you get two seven strike outs, five walks.
Speaker 1: But was very interesting, that is, despite the five walks,
Speaker 1: only seven of the the nine pages thrown by Domingo Harman.
Speaker 1: And if he could figure out a way to harness
Speaker 1: that fastball, he's talented. And I was impressed by Domingo Harman,
Speaker 1: who goes round on the watch list. Yeah, no surprise here,
Speaker 1: Greg that you were impressed by a Yankees starting pitch.
Speaker 1: He's supressed that. Jimmyako bonus as well. So I think
Speaker 1: it was I think it's worth noting that. Yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: he has some nasty stuff. He doesn't know where it's
Speaker 1: going half the time. But I think it also doesn't
Speaker 1: help that Gary Sanchez is it probably not, so you know,
Speaker 1: that probably doesn't help. But yesterday sixteen swinging strikes. I
Speaker 1: know it's against the Tigers. They just made Matt Shoemaker
Speaker 1: look like a cy Young Award winner over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I think it with a grain of salt. But sixteen
Speaker 1: swinging strikes. Had seven swinging strikes on his fastball, which
Speaker 1: average ninety four point three Miles Prower, and they also
Speaker 1: had seven swinging strikes on his curveball. Also had a
Speaker 1: nasty curveball where he just basically froze Miguel Cabrera um
Speaker 1: and struck about looking. So I think that's worth noting.
Speaker 1: The strikeouts were really good for Domingo Harman. He's got
Speaker 1: to cut down the walks, obviously, definitely twelve team leagues. Yeah,
Speaker 1: watchless guy. I might try and stash him on the
Speaker 1: end of my bench. But I think I like the
Speaker 1: Marlins guys and Colvin Burns more than Domingo Harmon right now,
Speaker 1: which is just like the order of picking up players
Speaker 1: and whoio, you're riots, right like Marlin's guys for beIN Burns,
Speaker 1: Whoio you're riots. They're like kind the cream of the crop.
Speaker 1: And then I think Domingo is like one step al.
Speaker 1: I like her mom more than I like Drew Palmer Ns.
Speaker 1: They're kind of in the same boat. No, I think
Speaker 1: that her model is better. Step into game like this
Speaker 1: is gonna be standard for Domingo absolutely because they're not
Speaker 1: gonna let him go deep. They obviously have the bullpen
Speaker 1: like there you know they have players also, Thinko. But annoyingly,
Speaker 1: I also think you'll see games where her mom is
Speaker 1: a start. He's the opener, which or the there's the
Speaker 1: opener used for which Yankees wanted to do yesterday, but
Speaker 1: I had to go through their bullpen on Sunday, so
Speaker 1: get a chance to dude, that will be very frustrating
Speaker 1: as well. So I think that's a good point. Um
Speaker 1: other side, Tyson rosscos five innings less three runs to
Speaker 1: earn four walks, he was kind of mediocre. I thought,
Speaker 1: Tyson Ross, your boy. You love Tyson Ross. Every year
Speaker 1: I do Ross Ross. Sorry, it only took a few years.
Speaker 1: Garry Sanchez hit his second home run of the season yesterday.
Speaker 1: Uh and Aaron Judge almost hit a home run. Gardner off. Finally,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll take a break here we come back.
Speaker 1: What do we think of new manager Brandon High decision

Speaker 1: That's Frank Standfelle. I'm Greg Susman hoppy to be here
Speaker 1: with you on a Tuesday breaking down everything that happened.
Speaker 1: And one of the bigger stories from last night is
Speaker 1: what happened in Toronto with the Baltimore Orioles. Not much
Speaker 1: is expected from the Orioles. We're in our three and
Speaker 1: one by the one and David Hess was one of
Speaker 1: the starting pitchers. I was like this close to Namon
Speaker 1: and last night he almost made everyone know his name
Speaker 1: for the rest of his career. He went six and
Speaker 1: a third aloud, one walk, shrug out, eight, did not strike.
Speaker 1: You're not allow a hit through two pitches and Brandon
Speaker 1: High came out there and looked him in the eyes.
Speaker 1: Did your out, bro, And he went to the betch.
Speaker 1: You tried to talk in his way. Stay in the game.
Speaker 1: Was not allowed to now Before you go further, Frank,
Speaker 1: what did you think of the decision by Brandon Hide.
Speaker 1: It doesn't surprise me one bit the way that baseball
Speaker 1: has been trending, And to be honest, I don't know
Speaker 1: why everyone's freaking out about it. This isn't the first
Speaker 1: time we've seen a picture leave a game with a
Speaker 1: no hitter. Intact, it won't be the last time we've
Speaker 1: seen it. It was David has his first start of
Speaker 1: the season, and even if he gets through that ending
Speaker 1: with let's say ninety pitches, right, they're probably taking him
Speaker 1: out after the seventh anyway, Yeah, I mean, you're gonna
Speaker 1: let your starting pitcher and twenty pitches his first start
Speaker 1: of the season to try and get a no hitter.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the Rios from our eyes, aren't playing
Speaker 1: for anything but no from their perspective, from their organization perspective,
Speaker 1: they want to save these guys for the long haul.
Speaker 1: They actually want to try and play later on in
Speaker 1: the season, right, So I understand a lot of people
Speaker 1: are up in arms about taking him out of the game.
Speaker 1: Didn't surprise me, And to be honest, Greig, I don't
Speaker 1: have a big problem with it, So I don't know
Speaker 1: a problem with it either, and I agree, what is
Speaker 1: the most that will happen? You're leaving him out there
Speaker 1: to finish the seventh and people forget that this guy,
Speaker 1: it's just two days ago. In relief, they're like fourty
Speaker 1: two pitches like on Saturday. So I have a feeling
Speaker 1: they didn't even want him to get to the eight
Speaker 1: two number that he was at. I think he probably
Speaker 1: wanted to throw like seventy maybe, and they kept him
Speaker 1: going because he had a no hitter. You gotta protect
Speaker 1: the guy, um, And I know that David has probably
Speaker 1: never have an opportunity like this in his life. And
Speaker 1: it's very sad to say dramatic for sure, but you
Speaker 1: gotta protect him. It might be the next time that
Speaker 1: he faces the Blue Jays. Greg, This blue Jay's lineup
Speaker 1: is god awful for now. I mean they have a
Speaker 1: collective team one eight batting average and p s. It's
Speaker 1: only five games, but and it just traded away a
Speaker 1: professional hitter and Kevin bar They're gonna call up Anthony
Speaker 1: Alford and you know they're gonna play a lot of
Speaker 1: their young kids. Vladim mcgarrero Jr. Is coming, But outside
Speaker 1: of that, he's still have a lot of young guys
Speaker 1: in the lineup, were gonna strike out a ton. Not
Speaker 1: a great line up by any means. The Blue Jays
Speaker 1: started Seawan Reid Foley last night, and you obviously don't
Speaker 1: know this, Frank, because because you didn't do the vand
Speaker 1: videos yesterday with me. But one guy who was tweeting
Speaker 1: any incessantly how horrible FanDuel is because they forgot to
Speaker 1: include a Shawn Reid Foley for whatever reason on Vanduel
Speaker 1: last night. For whatever reason, maybe because the game started
Speaker 1: early at six thirty. Maybe that was it and I
Speaker 1: didn't realize it. Yeah, if the game started at six,
Speaker 1: it wasn't including the main state. I don't and I
Speaker 1: don't know this for sure, but read fold who was
Speaker 1: not available to be chosen last night, and this guy
Speaker 1: just kept blasting us about how terrible fandal is because
Speaker 1: it didn't include Sean Reid Foley. You have your welcome, dude.
Speaker 1: Do you think that person was related to Shawn Folly.
Speaker 1: I don't. Maybe it was Sean Reid Folly himself. I
Speaker 1: think it was a guy that just wanted to play
Speaker 1: against the Orioles. Well, you're welcome, because Sean Reid Foley
Speaker 1: with two innings allowed, three or run, five total runs,
Speaker 1: four hits, two walks three case he sucked, So you're welcome,
Speaker 1: Sean Reid Foley fan. He was one of their top
Speaker 1: pitching prospects and they've been kind of hyping him up
Speaker 1: for a for a while now. And the last year
Speaker 1: at triple at three point nine zero e r a
Speaker 1: strikeouts and eight five and a third innings pitched, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe Shaun re Folly has some upside at some point.
Speaker 1: But you're right, I mean, not look good against the Orioles,
Speaker 1: and you can't really do it against the Baltimorials. And
Speaker 1: you know, if you need to, uh take yourself home
Speaker 1: with yourself in the mirror and figure out what you
Speaker 1: need to work on, because the Baltorial he just not
Speaker 1: one of the last names. It was. It was Jonathan
Speaker 1: Yan who was betting third once again, who hit a
Speaker 1: two run homer off of you, Shawn Red fully sorry
Speaker 1: about that. Should we should we picking up boom Bo Mancini? Yes,
Speaker 1: I actually uh, I can't reveal it him. I'll how
Speaker 1: you during the break, But I like him. I do
Speaker 1: like him. I do like Trey Mancini. For people who
Speaker 1: might have lost Giancarlo Stanton obviously not gonna give you
Speaker 1: the same level of production. He's Matty clean Up. He's
Speaker 1: off to a hot start um. And you know what
Speaker 1: I've noticed from his swings so far this year, and
Speaker 1: it's just limited sample what he's played against home run
Speaker 1: that he yesterday, it looks like he's making a conscious
Speaker 1: effort to try and lift the ball a little bit more.
Speaker 1: And he's always been a guy who hits the ball
Speaker 1: on the ground too much. So if he's trying to
Speaker 1: lift the ball more and playing in Camden in the
Speaker 1: A L East, and maybe it leads to a little
Speaker 1: bit more homers this year. You know, thirty rather than
Speaker 1: the twenty four were used to getting from Trey Mancini.
Speaker 1: But I'd expect the batting average to bounce back from
Speaker 1: last year. He's hitting in the middle of this lineup.
Speaker 1: He's just unknowned in a lot of places because he
Speaker 1: plays for the Baltimorials. But I think it's fabulous bringing
Speaker 1: him up because to me, he's a replacement if you
Speaker 1: lost a guy like John Carliston. He's out there in
Speaker 1: a lot of twelve team league, So there you go.
Speaker 1: If Trey Mancini is out there, someone that especially if
Speaker 1: you lost some power with Daniel Murphy with gian Carlos
Speaker 1: Standard obviously doesn't play the same position as Big Murth.
Speaker 1: But Trey Mancini a guy that has some talent. But
Speaker 1: we liked me two years ago or a year ago.
Speaker 1: Did you have a great year last year bouncing back
Speaker 1: in the middle of of the Orioles lineup? Who again?
Speaker 1: I know you want to avoid the Orioles because they suck,
Speaker 1: and that's fair. The tre Man City doesn't suck, and
Speaker 1: I think that's a point that we gotta remember. I
Speaker 1: want to go back to David Hess real quick, though,
Speaker 1: because I'm not saying just keep him on your radar.
Speaker 1: I'm not adding him anywhere, and I'm not even adding
Speaker 1: him in fifteen team leagues. But I will say he
Speaker 1: had a velo jump in his first start of the season.
Speaker 1: Here based on where his fastball was at last year.
Speaker 1: His fastball last night through forty eight times average ninety
Speaker 1: three point eight miles per hour, maxed out at nineties
Speaker 1: six miles per hour. Last year, his average fastball velocity
Speaker 1: was nine one nine greg so fastball velocity up two
Speaker 1: miles per hour so far this season, he's been maxing
Speaker 1: out around ninety six miles per hour. So you only
Speaker 1: had nine swinging strikes on eight pitches. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: go out and grab David Hess, but let's pay attention
Speaker 1: to his velocity. Maybe there's something here. And do you
Speaker 1: want to note? Uh? And this is in baseball related,
Speaker 1: but he's breaking new so I want to bring it up,
Speaker 1: um core A Pro Football Talk, the a A S
Speaker 1: the Alliance of American Football Operations. Will we suspended in
Speaker 1: the next few hours. League isn't folding yet, but it
Speaker 1: basically is folding. And that's the end of the a
Speaker 1: F What happened? What happens to my fantasy team? Sorry,
Speaker 1: the our fantasy team, Gregg, you have an a F
Speaker 1: fantasy team as well. You have Turn Richardson. Did you
Speaker 1: get still? I don't know? So what is this folding?
Speaker 1: Why is that the owner who is a new guy
Speaker 1: bought in his name Tom Dundon. Uh. He invested seventy
Speaker 1: million dollars and he's losing that much money. So he said,
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose any more money. Officers, all right, Well, uh,
Speaker 1: Vince McMahon, your next I hope you learned from the
Speaker 1: A A S mistakes, which, to be honest, I couldn't
Speaker 1: even tell you what they are. But they're trying to
Speaker 1: start up the XFL again next year. Um, these are
Speaker 1: some of the challenges that you face, right, I mean, Vince,
Speaker 1: do you engage in audience? Yeah, Vinity man still got
Speaker 1: a lot of money of w E stock, like fifty
Speaker 1: million dollars of the stock to kind of invest into
Speaker 1: the XFL. We'll see, Uh, well we'll see here the
Speaker 1: a F which is on the NFL network on TVs
Speaker 1: entrepreneur like they were doing all the right things. What
Speaker 1: more can you do? And the problem from a from
Speaker 1: a football league outside of the NFL, what more can
Speaker 1: you do? In terms of getting the exposure of the
Speaker 1: NFL network, getting the exposure, gonna about T n T,
Speaker 1: the CBS Sports Network at times, whatever it might be,
Speaker 1: it seemed like they were doing everything right in the
Speaker 1: first you know, the first few weeks that I actually
Speaker 1: watched the product didn't seem that bad. I mean, they
Speaker 1: had a lot of former NFL players Arnolds Johnson wide receiver,
Speaker 1: Trent Richardson running back. These guys aren't in the NFL
Speaker 1: for a reason, but for true football fans who wants
Speaker 1: me to watch after the NFL season ends and after
Speaker 1: college football season ends, and it just gives you something
Speaker 1: else to watch, right, it gives you another option. But
Speaker 1: I mean, there has to be a reason why it's
Speaker 1: losing as much money as it is. Yeah, I'll say this,
Speaker 1: Like the first week in the a F, Twitter was
Speaker 1: a buzz by it. I was into it, and since
Speaker 1: then I've had no interest in watching it at all.
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I don't know if you had
Speaker 1: or not. I watched like the first two weekends and
Speaker 1: then it just kind of fell off for me. A
Speaker 1: lot of spring training, baseball, getting prepared, I mean watching
Speaker 1: basketball too. On Sunday on Sunday after after the Final Four,
Speaker 1: right after the Elite Eight and after the Yankees were over.
Speaker 1: On Sunday, we Judie and I were having dinner and
Speaker 1: I think I actually put the a F on in
Speaker 1: the background. It was all like NFL Network, so I
Speaker 1: put it on. The qualities really seemed very good obviously
Speaker 1: or where we're Jets draft pick in Maryland, Terraf and
Speaker 1: Dexter McDougal had an interception that I saw. Um. Other
Speaker 1: than that, it was just like why am I watching this?
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I felt. What were just other
Speaker 1: priorities in terms of professional sports obviously, like I want
Speaker 1: to watch the NBA, I want to watch I'd rather
Speaker 1: watch spring training BAB so I can pick up off that.
Speaker 1: Judy actually asked a really really good question about this.
Speaker 1: She was like, what is this? Tell me about this?
Speaker 1: I explained it to her. She goes, well, do you
Speaker 1: watch like the NBA G League? No? She do you
Speaker 1: watch minor league baseball? I go, no, why would you
Speaker 1: watch minor league football? They go, right, she goes, when
Speaker 1: we went to it's a really nice, family friendly atmosphere.
Speaker 1: When you go to a minor league baseball game, it
Speaker 1: doesn't cost much money, the food is free. It's a
Speaker 1: nice family thing. Or you go go with your friends
Speaker 1: or your girlfriend or whatnot. It's nice. It's like a
Speaker 1: nice night to do. Right. That's all the a F
Speaker 1: could probably the XFL could be. It's a nice night.
Speaker 1: It's not something that will generate millions and millions and
Speaker 1: millions of dollars off of the NFL's back. Just like
Speaker 1: the Lee High Valley. He's not going to generate millions
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars off of lv's back. Like, at
Speaker 1: least with the minor league baseball, you're seeing the stars
Speaker 1: of tomorrow. You'll go try to see a minor league
Speaker 1: and maybe see Vladimir Guerrera, Like that's cool. The A
Speaker 1: a F and the XFL are not going to be
Speaker 1: able to generate that. Like Johnny Manzel, he's only playing
Speaker 1: the a F because he couldn't play anywhere else. He's
Speaker 1: a has been and there's only one of him in
Speaker 1: minor league baseball. There's a lot of future stars in
Speaker 1: the G League. There's a lot of young players that
Speaker 1: are that maybe will become something. I don't think that
Speaker 1: it exists in the a F or in any other football.
Speaker 1: Leaves will pop up, and I think that's the issue.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's fair to say, though, because
Speaker 1: if there were players that were dominating the a F,
Speaker 1: maybe they would have gotten a shot in the NFL. Again,
Speaker 1: well maybe, but maybe Garret Gilbert will there's I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no way to know. You go into a have
Speaker 1: to go see Garrett Gilbert. No, And I think that's
Speaker 1: why they did it right. They tried to regionalize players
Speaker 1: like Gilbert. It was it I think it was like
Speaker 1: a smart system, like a cool idea what they were
Speaker 1: trying to do, like really owning on you know, geographics,
Speaker 1: and Okay, the Alabama team can only can only get
Speaker 1: players from from that area. So I think that was
Speaker 1: actually a cool concept. I think, you know, they're obviously
Speaker 1: trying to appeal to people who have a pure love
Speaker 1: for the game of football. It's just there wasn't I
Speaker 1: guess there wasn't enough. You know, what did you say?
Speaker 1: Because football is the most popular sport in America, But
Speaker 1: I guess you know, when it's the professional game, when
Speaker 1: it's the college game, you're right, like seeing the stars
Speaker 1: of today and potentially the stars of tomorrow. Right, you
Speaker 1: don't know that anyone on the a F is gonna
Speaker 1: be either one of those things. And it's more than
Speaker 1: likely not people care about football until they don't. If
Speaker 1: I even you that really only watches sports, right, like
Speaker 1: I'll watch other TV you for the most part of
Speaker 1: the Game of Thrones and and like Punishers some other
Speaker 1: things that you really just watch sports at night, especially
Speaker 1: King goes to bed, Like you're gonna sit there study
Speaker 1: baseball and watch sports. You're not interested in this The
Speaker 1: first two weeks you're out, and as someone like you
Speaker 1: is out, I don't know that their market is going
Speaker 1: to be there. I don't mean that in a negative
Speaker 1: way towards you. You love you love just watching sports.
Speaker 1: You love football, and you won't watch it. And but
Speaker 1: the thing is, I have other priorities too, though, because
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna have other priorities. It's exactly right. Because you know,
Speaker 1: we're competing for a fantasy basketball championship. I want to
Speaker 1: see how my players are doing. So I'm gonna watch
Speaker 1: those games in February and March, and now I want
Speaker 1: to scout some starting pitchers in spring training in March,
Speaker 1: and I want to you know, get ready for the
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball season. So it's, you know, it's what's next.
Speaker 1: Everyone's looking for what's next. So once fantasy football ends
Speaker 1: to me, it's okay, I gotta pay attention to my
Speaker 1: fantasy basketball team, and then I gotta get ready for
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball. So it's like, what's next. And I don't
Speaker 1: think a f necessarily it was, you know, I on
Speaker 1: that priority list for me in terms of what was next.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, the idea was you're going to
Speaker 1: get casual football fans to just kind of check it out,
Speaker 1: like I think a lot of people did, and then stopped.
Speaker 1: Basically the same exact thing to happen in the XFL
Speaker 1: the first time, a bunch of casual fans checked it
Speaker 1: out and then stopped. Well, how do you keep them? Though?
Speaker 1: That's the question, that's the question that no one's had
Speaker 1: been able to find the answer for ever. You got
Speaker 1: you have to market more. And we'll see if if
Speaker 1: Vince is going to be about this, because in promo
Speaker 1: packages for the XFL they have talked about this. Greg
Speaker 1: is they're gonna be big about gambling and fantasy and
Speaker 1: I think that's how you gotta do it. I think
Speaker 1: that's how you gotta market it. Greg. You gotta say, um,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe even making a part of the broadcast,
Speaker 1: which isn't necessarily regular, something that that regularly. I think
Speaker 1: fantasy football, I think gambling. Yeah, you gotta talk about
Speaker 1: it like when you're previewing a game. The quarterback for
Speaker 1: this team a first round pick, and fantasy football, let's
Speaker 1: see what he does today. Here are projections, this team
Speaker 1: is favored by this much like you have to. I
Speaker 1: think that's how you appeal to it right. Even even still,
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's enough to get the market.
Speaker 1: I think the only people that were still watching the
Speaker 1: a F were fantasy football players, were gamblers. That's it.
Speaker 1: Nobody else is watching, and that's not going to sustain
Speaker 1: the amount of money it's going to take the key.
Speaker 1: But there's so many people that play fantasy football and
Speaker 1: bet on the NFL that weren't doing that for the
Speaker 1: a F. I mean it was really like hardcore gamblers
Speaker 1: and maybe hardcore fantasy players, Like we made teams, we
Speaker 1: didn't really pay attention. I think that's I think that's
Speaker 1: probably the route that they have to go, Like how
Speaker 1: do you get more of those people who play fantasy
Speaker 1: football in the NFL and bet on the NFL to
Speaker 1: to come over to you. I mean, that's what he
Speaker 1: has to figure out over the next year. I think
Speaker 1: it just shows you that the NFL is the most
Speaker 1: powerful sports entity that we have. They have created a
Speaker 1: day for themselves where everything and every everything stops, never
Speaker 1: trying to make the NFL week long process now Thursday
Speaker 1: and Saturday and Sunday and Monday, and that's not always successful.
Speaker 1: Sunday successful for them. I think one problems with the
Speaker 1: a F. And I was explaining this the dudio over
Speaker 1: the weekend, and I never knew in the games wrong.
Speaker 1: They didn't have Sunday right, and it was always the
Speaker 1: same channels like NFL. You knows on CDs and Fox
Speaker 1: every Sunday. That's it every Sunday. The a didn't have that.
Speaker 1: Can the SFL create that? I don't know if on
Speaker 1: the XFL from Vince McMann right now, are you rethinking
Speaker 1: this and being like, what, he's not gonna fold now?
Speaker 1: I feel like he's in right probably, I just don't know, Vince.
Speaker 1: He's not going to bounce back from this. He's gonna
Speaker 1: he's gonna look at this as an opportunity. Greg, he
Speaker 1: was probably looking at a F like, oh, they're gonna
Speaker 1: be my competition next year. That was no competition. You
Speaker 1: have a chance to once again once the NFL season
Speaker 1: and college football season ends, trying to mono put the
Speaker 1: question will be what will be the difference between the
Speaker 1: XFL and the a Yeah, and that's what I was
Speaker 1: just asking that. I think it's making more of a
Speaker 1: conscious effort to appeal to gamblers and antesty. However, they're
Speaker 1: going to do that. I don't know, And it's not
Speaker 1: that the a F didn't try that, because I think
Speaker 1: they really did. What it's like, they didn't have an
Speaker 1: official fantasy game on you know, their website. You had
Speaker 1: to go through third party websites and it was terrible.
Speaker 1: So if you have an official site dedicated to fantasy
Speaker 1: for this and and you make you offer it gambling
Speaker 1: on the FanDuel of sports book, and you know it's
Speaker 1: really a mainstream thing, then yeah, that's probably how you
Speaker 1: generate more interest. But I just don't think the a
Speaker 1: F didn't enough of that. I don't. I listened to
Speaker 1: a few podcasts right as the a F was coming
Speaker 1: out Greg where like people didn't even know what the
Speaker 1: lines were for games and he couldn't even find what
Speaker 1: the odds were at like major sports. I also don't
Speaker 1: think that job by the a F. I also didn't
Speaker 1: think they did enough of a job marketing their players,
Speaker 1: like outside the region, Like I had no idea who
Speaker 1: was on what team and why, like we looked it
Speaker 1: up that first day, We had no idea, and the
Speaker 1: accidentities doing without their job of explaining that in the
Speaker 1: long run. Way earlier in the a f it's so
Speaker 1: we kind of understand a sports fans take a break here.
Speaker 1: Eventual will join us for our two, which I live
Speaker 1: back into baseball and everything he needs to know. Last night,
Speaker 1: I remember two with fantasy best friends forever. That was
Speaker 1: your way next
