You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. PA me come best Friends, Fantasy best Friends Forever, our number two Fantasy b f as here at the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. That's Frank Stan. I'm Greg's I's been joined as we are each and every day in the second hour by the closer, Chris Man shows up. Chris, Nope, nothing's hope, nothing's up? What's up? It's your boy. I'm gonna do it. Even though you missed it the clothes, I missed my
opportunity today, you missed it. I'm sorry, man. Yeah, excited, excited for the weekend. Yeah, we've thrown you got Sunday, Yeah, Sunday night piped for that. Um, what else is there anything else? Mass Mass I'm not interested in golf. Had someone asked me on Twitter who I think is gonna win the Masters? I said, I just can't even name five golf. Why does you have they asked me. I've been watching and follow it and just said, hey, pass him over to Greg. Yeah, I will next time. Sorry,
you follow golf? Yeah, like golf. I saw him watching the Masters yesterday. Whole life. Feel like I don't even know you anymore. I've watched the Masters in my whole life. I like golf, You'll pull my friends? Do you like golf? Mostly because when I played it, it's so frustrating so far. Also, I can I can name quite a few golfers as well. Like golf, not like into it as like Mayo is where Cam Steward is, Like I like watching casual. Those guys bet every single week, right, Yeah, they're into it.
When you bet, you like every sport pretty much pretty much the game Reency theory on anything? Is Gabe still down there with yes? Just making sure. Um, I gotta talk to Gabe Okay after the show, I will bet. What Regarding these Toronto raptors, man, I've noticed something about Gabe gave the number one rule of the Homer. Homer, you can't bet with your heart, Gabe. Never bet against the Bills and never bet against the Raptors. He shouldn't
even touch the Raptors series. He shouldn't touch it because he's gonna bet with his heart. Don't touch a gab Gabe wants to grab him, Mike. You know, I'd give him a chance to defend himself. I don't want to kill the guy on air. Not let him defend himself. He's on the air like six hours and true. Yeah, like he's Gonnas game time. I mean, you could just crush me. Then it's fine, all right, we gotta get back to baseball. We've been doodling too much. Sorry, man,
just being honest. Um should be the waiver wire is there? You want to do anything else you want to hit? I mean we can bounce around. I mean there were still nothing else you want to talk about from yesterday. I mean most of us, like the afternoon, it was like kind of like whatever, Stephen Madi, Stephen Matts, is that anyone hit on? That'd be cool? All right? Stephen mates actually been solid. He had eight strikeouts. Interesting, how
about strikeounts, but only seven swinging strikes that's crazy. That's an interesting stat for you. Huh. It's five pitches Stephen mat Like Mats, I don't own any shares of him because last year he was all over the places. So far has been pretty good. Whenever talk when we talk about the Mets Martino, it just texts me facts about that, Like the second we mentioned I got playing. What do you say that? Just Steven Matt's boom two point seven e r A in Atlanta in his career. Wow? Alright,
look at Matins strike percentages up this year. The chase rate is a rear high so far, so, but the swinging strikes do just haven't necessarily been there. Nine seven a little bit below league average. So I think he's he's been fine thus far. Looking at his pitch usage, using the change up a little bit more this year, curb boll less. So maybe you know his fastball change up combinations working out for him. He's creeping. He's creeping up the ladder in terms of value. You know his
value in terms of his value. Alright, so he faced the braves last night? We ell does he faced? He's faced Washington? Okay, that's you know, five shoutout and he's against Washington with eight strike us. That's very good because you know we're using that as the argument for Zach Wheeler is that he's been rocked by the Nationals twice because they're a really good lineup. So Matt has been good there and then against the Marlins he allowed three
runs but only one was earned. That was his worst start. Okay, he's been pretty good and against three division foes. Alright, So if he's like my SP five or six for most people, he is, Yeah, you love it. I feel right about that. I like the last year too. The only thing with him is health. That's really what it is. It's health that's the only good because he's got the stuff, you know, that's not just health. He could be erratic,
to be iratic, that's the issue. I think mostly it has been health, though gring Or lack their road, I agree, I agree, But he has been the numbers last year because I wanted to like Stephen Matts this year and I just couldn't bring myself to like like I wanted to, but I won't. But there was a time where I looked into him and I thought it was gonna be
one of my guys this year. You always want to like the Mets pictures like Callaway because we like and this is part of the reason why we like the Indians too, right, because the Indians being able to develop pictures, and part of them developing pictures was a lot of it was Mickey Callaway. So now he's with the Mets and hopefully Zack Wheeler bounces back tonight. I guess we'll find out we're gonna lose our minds. We're gonna lose our mind next week Wheeler sucks again. Um Dancey Sponsors
stole his first base of the season. Swanson also won one skys is doing it all everything. It's a good bring upon. Is this a guy? Did he? Is? He must add in twelve team? I'll tell you right now. He was the most picked up player on ESPAN leagues. Would you rather own Pantie Swanson or Jerks and Profile that was coming pro far? I'd rather own Profar too, So I guess Andree Swanson is not a must owned player because if you don't think Jerks and Profile and
you can't think I do think. I don't think I'm saying I'm just saying logic. Yeah, I do think Mustard. I think I think to me, you like to ride players while he's hot. I mean, there's might be the only player hotter than him, Right, That's exactly what I was going to say. You want to pick up a hot batter wants his hot one man super hot. Yeah,
and he's still a guy with upside. By the way, we speculated about Kyle Kyle, he got hyoga being called up for the Yankees because Gary Sanchez officially just hit the eye. Om man, Gary things always something looking at was Sandro to Texas to Sandro, video producer editor downstairs, the most optimistic Yankee fan. It's actually amazing every Yankee starters. He loves Gary Sanchez, is that true? And Luke boit and am sorry angly and in this person and everyone
heard except I'm so happy. At least we have finally caught Mets fever in terms of everyone heard on the team. Everybody Hicks d ned was coming into the year, but and new harror, Gary Sanchez, Severino's coming back. But it doesn't.
But the most of them, it's not even like it's like okay, it's not even like okay, you have five guys on the aisle, yes, yeah, Hicks, right, so you have six guys on the aisle, and you would hope that maybe three of them are guys that aren't really important, but all six of them are vital to the team. He's like, has been out crazy. All right, how about this, Greg, I know we just spoke about how bad he is. If you need a second catcher, you pick up Austin Romine.
Nice stinks, well, every second catcher stinks, Greg, we're dropping our first catcher. Beef Castile would Josh Fegley, all right, that's fine. I agree with you on that. That's fine, thank you. Why don't we like Fegley? He's been good, he's been he's been good, absolutely hot man. Seriously, Josh Fegley's he's been good. I guess that catcher. No, he's been good. Second three homers, eight run scored, seven RBIs. He's betting three thirteen. He's got like twenty times the
amount of hits that Yonder Alonzo has got. He's got a forty line driver. Rey is bad. Balls are line drives and catcher. If you could grab a Hawkeye like that, it's big. That's yeah, like a two patch league. You got exactly. Gotti Roman I would say, at least you know Roman at least is gonna play the majority of the time in a really good lineup environment. So as your second catcher, if you've got some scrub really sucks. I look at Roman. We speculated on this Braves line
Roman or Carson Kelly, Gregson. Kelly's not even Roman because he's gonna play one in Carson Kelly. Like that's something I might do. Speak in the main eventure opportunity, I have car Okay with that? Yeah, okay with that? Um yes, especially yesterday on the Braves lineup. So enter c r J didn't play yesterday. Azzi Albi's let off the game still still ahead of which is what he's been doing. He hadn't doing it anyways, has been leading off against
his left alright, so he normally owns lefties. What do you thinet that contract man? They're killing him as a cons and his are they're getting. They're stealing that both, they're stealing seven for thirty five? What are they thinking? Greg?
What it was Azzi Albi's team thinking? You're saying? Because all right, I understand when you to get a player on a cheap contract while he's still under team control, I understand, like from both sides because the team wants to lock up the player and you're worried about cheap and you know, the player wants some financial security. I understand that it might be a strike in the future, but Greg seven for thirty five. This is something that a player under team control was getting like five six
years ago. Like that was a contract that Starling Marte was signing when he was still under team control. Something like that. You know, I saw you. I saw it yesterday called the second worst contract in the history of baseball? Were what was the worst Jason Worth, Kobe Elsbery? No, so the other side, right, like the other the worst
on the player. Okay, what was the worst team? Terrible? Yeah, Salvador Perez signed around the same time, even a little bit older, signed like a five year, seven million dollar deal seven million hole before the season. That's why I want to know what did Brandon lou get before the season, because he got an extension for a second. But the Salvador Harris concert was so bad that after like they won the World Series, he was so underpaid that the
Royals just tore it up. Like listen, you have outplayed this, Like, let me give you an I was thinking about this I just looked it up. Brandon Laud got six for twenty four million, six four three and Ozzy Albis gets seven five. It's crazy. He has a whole season under his belt, where Azzi Albis does where he was pretty good. I know, I know he fell off in the second half, but overall his numbers were pretty good. He's a top prospect and he had more prospect pedigree than a guy
with Brandon Laud. Not that I want to pooh pooh loud because I like him as a player. I think he's a good player, but more Yeah, and he got more money, but like not significantly more money a seven year contract, raig, he should at least got six yeah, yeah, Like the first number of my mind was like at least fifty six, Like give me at least eight million a year, at least sixty he's worth six thread five? What is it? What is he wants to the agent
doing here? I just saw something that said he doesn't care about the money. He wants his family secure one and two. He wants to be He's worried about the team. More on yourself a little bit, I know, I know, and Akunya deserves more than ten million and he got a ten for eighty right Southern Repara has later signed a sixty year, fifty two million dollar deal. Like after it was ripped up, it felt terrible of this guy
like that sucked in. He signed a five year deal for seven million awful, and they ripped it up into a sixteen to give him a new deal after the world. How much has he played to that the Royals? How many years did he happens? Two solid years? Like good? He played well. I don't want he played well. I'm just telling you signed that deal. He was great defensively anyway, so it didn't matter. He's mean, he was always pretty good. Yeah, you know, he's been one of the most consistent catchers
since he's been a starter. But I was wondering if he was proven already or not at that point, you know, And I don't. I don't think he's like what he is now with that power, but he was still I mean, he was an up and coming guy. And and you know, the Royal has given their contracts and given their ability to you know, their budget constraints, they have to get lock guys up. But five years, seven million dollars, that come on, what are we doing what are you doing?
Can at least right? I want to jump in. I want to I want to jump into two. Lopez is from yesterday. I want to ask you about Pablo Lopez because it's been three subpar starts, and before I dive into anything, I want to ask you, guys, would you drop Pablo Lopez just seeing what you've seen thus far? Yes, Yes, would drop Popo Lopez? Okay, well I'm here to tell you that I would not. I would not because he's a six point one zero E array through three starts.
He has him good. I can't deny that. But he has a three point three three x FIT So I think told me that we don't play in an x FIP league, but there are other there are other numbers as well. And and that player that we were talking about was John Gray, who to this point in time i'm still right about. He pitched a gem yesterday. Well, yeah, it was a giant. You could pitch a gem against him.
Probably the reason why the x FIP is more valuable here Greg is because he pitches in Marlin's Park, So the x FIP is a little bit more valuable, Like he's not going to give up home runs at the rate that he has, or because he pitches in Marlin's Park, it's a much better location to pitch, and then a place like Corus Field, and it's k minus walk percentage. It's twenty four point five. So he's kane a bunch
of guys. He's not walking many and that would rank top twelve months starting pitchers right now, So he's not I'm not walking at anybody. He has two walks aloud on the season total. He has struck out five guys in each of his last two games, seven strikeouts an opening day at home against the Colorado Rockies. He's allowed three runs in the first start, and then the last two have been away one in Atlanta one since Natty Bolt, known as hitter ballparks seven hits in each, four runs
allowed in each as well. He hasn't been good. I can't defend that at all. And I own him in a few locations, and I started him in the main event. I started him over whose Daktana, so clearly I was in and that one hurt. That one, that one sucks. So I feel your pain if you've been starting Pablo Lopez. But I'm here to tell you like the velocity is up from last season, the whiffs are up, the strikeout
minus walkers there. I think there's still a lot to like about Pablo Lopez in the deeper league, Like maybe in the twelve team league you might be able to find someone at this point who's better. But I think you know, if it's a deeper twelve team league, if you have deep benches or overall, if it's just like a fifteen team or mixed, I would hold onto Pablo Lopez. I think better days are coming. Oliver's next start hims at home on the sixteenth against the Chicago Cubs. That's
probably not a start for me. But you're not gonna start him then he's at home, Like, you're not gonna Like he's in the analyst, but the clubs are one of the best lineups in the NL. But I understand. But like you're the analyst, right, so you're not startingh he hits the Cubs, you certainly not gonna start against the Phillies. Don't you want to see a proven start
from him again? Though, But like if he bounces back in Mon's Park, then maybe you trust the matter kind of just you don't think you just have to necessarily get him in there, so I think I don't think you have to get him in there. I I we always think a little bit different with than this, Like when you're a weekly start lead. We were talking and arly, like,
which one of these guys do you start? Like that's I leave on the bench for some of our other options, probably depending on their matchups we haven't looked, but like I think, from a daily change league, are you going to start him or not? And maybe that will depend on where your matterpis during the little bit tougher, But Ja Dailey, that's how I think about it when we
talk about it generally. I I would almost start anybody, okay, in a in a daily transactionally, unless it's something really bad, like if it's Pablo Lopez in Coors Field, like right but at home in Chicago, Like you could talk me into that in a daily trains actions league, but in weekly I would imagine that I have someone with a better matchup than to start there. And in the daily league, to think that's the thing. You want pictures on your roster that you can plug in at any time, because
you want to try to plug them all in. So if you have a guy you're on the fence about like a Pablo Lopez. It almost comes to the point that should I even own him, because now I gotta worry about this in the daily league. Do I want to start him against the Cubs at all? Right? But even even if it's a you know, a wait and see, let's see what he does to start against the Cubs and then if he's all right, then maybe you trust in the next one. If he gets bombed, then after
that start, I get it. But I do think better days are coming, Greg, And I want to bring up poor Hee Lopez as well. Maybe we get into a little bit more after the break. Greg, but former top pitching prospect for the Brewers, he's kind of bounced around. He hasn't been good in the miners, haven't been good in the majors either. Getting a chance to start now
with the Kansas City Royals, he's been solid. And like if you look at the X fit and and and the strike of the hayes Per nine and the walk Brine, they don't look great regarding Jorgy Lopez, but the swinging strikes are up. A guy throws an eighties seven mile pur slider in deeper leagues, Jorge Lopez. That's my desertion z break when we come back.

Game time decisions like like you know he's been hit before, Calf, but yeah, you missed it, Like you can't like the show open, but like we're talking like food shot the first picture of the game, damn, And I came into the game motivated today, like, oh we're gonna have a good of the game.

the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Dinner, Baby Shi, Dinner, Baby Shi, Dinner Baby Shake, Really baby sharks shark mommy shot? Is this about Jeff some shark? What is it you like? Jeff the Martin? Come on ventu? Is this is this through a gym all over Gregg Sussman face Last night what he talks smack about Jeff So, Marga, do you believe in fantasy Karmen adventure. Yes, if you talk smack about a player, they're gonna come back and own you.
That is real. It is a real thing. And I believe if you got you know, kind of screwed in in fantasy, I feel like it will come back. You have a fable or vice versa. Because I was talking about the smack about Tyler glass Now before the season and he owned me this week, he absolutely owned me. I think it's real. Wait did you tell did you tell everyone about that trade? Yeah? I announced it in the first hour. Have someone tweeting me that they traded
glass Now for Chris Sale. That's in and people don't I was insane for giving away glass Now for walking. I don't even know the Baby Sharks songs from. I don't know either. It's just a huge phenomenon. I think it's like a show or it actually might just be a song. I think it's just a song that like toddlers sing along and it became huge, Like I think it's a show. I just think it's a song. I randomly heard a kid playing it, like when I was
playing fortnite. You know what it is. I was a video of it playing in a club over the sandstorm beat. Oh drude, that's like the first house song ever you can find that. But I saw there's a VIC song out today? Is that? Yeah? That's it was possible because he's not living well. I mean, they record a bunch of stuff that's just never released. There was a rumor to that they probably had a bunch of like unreleased mix tapes and stuff that he just did for the
fun of it and it was never released. Yeah, the songs that, Yeah, I think it happened a decent amount. With artists, they just record so much music, right, it's just like whatever actually gets like pushed to like a label or whatever. This is a VG and Aloe block. Oh so he probably took his stuff that he never used before and mixed it into his own stuff, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, probably his family or something. All Right, So I guess we'll give it a listen
and see what happens. It was we were a big house guy be venture. Definitely a lot of absolutely yeah you all you all this stuff right? Vegas, Yeah, Vegas, Baby Vegas. It was amazing house. You have to like house. If you're gonna go club, hate it. I went to a club in Las Vegas. I'm burnt down, little John. Your head has been the same since. Yeah, I did too much from twenty like twenty to those were like crazy years for me. How much you how you in enhanced?
Not as much as you think. But there was a period of time where I was on like a streak for like almost a whole year, like nine months. It's a lot. That's a lot, like once a month, like once a month for nine months. It's not I mean, it's not that I would read a memory memoirs book written by Christmas writing a book, yeah, please write a book. It's a horror book though, the closer men biography, it's that wars. I would read it. I would market it for you. I would sell it. I'll sell it on
my patron all right. I'll try to come home todays take me forever, though, to write the memoirs of the close of some crazy stuff happened back in the day, that's right. I wouldn't read about it. I wouldn't read about men's life. But you imagine more interesting than like me or you, Greg. I don't regret it. We don't vanilla ice cream one scoop. You didn't part you were like N twenty you know, I do you sure that?
But I like read different places basically like my friends would my friends would go to the clubs and whatnot. I hated it. I don't enjoy it. Yeah, personally, well, I mean you get drunk. Yeah, of course you don't even like it when you got drunk and stuff drinks three I p a s on his couch and that just the best. Now, that's for sure the best, the best thing, the best club I ever went to. Yeah, we're in Vegas for bachelor party that we're at a
pool party. I'll never forget this. We're at a pool party. It's nighttime pool party. Rights, that's cool. So it's like I love pools. I love being at and you're wasted. Of course it's in the pool. And we saw Z performing them perform to Greg so zs perforing and like they played all these remixes that I know right because they had like a rude remix like the why you Gotta be Right? So they did a remix and that I was like, like, god, I love the song. It
was awesome. I had having a blast drunk. I was like running around the water like splash and everybody was great. So one of my exactly that is not a party. That's different times in the water, but I was in. One of my buddies comes up to reas like like yeah yo yo yo, t s Thos up there spinning with Z and I'm like, okay, you didn't know. I couldn't give less of a unit. One was the number one DJ for a long time. I can imagine someone freaking out about Honestly, I was one of those guys.
It was like, oh, well, Dave Matthew's band is up there. Then you got my, my, my, my feeling on this. I know it's wrong. I know it's ignorant. You could go up there and there's the same effing button that's yes, that's pressing no. But he makes his own sure, but it's all done already, he's made. It's in the studio, it's all done. Oh yeah, it's all He goes into pressing playlist. It's done. It's all he does. He could do that, he does. It's the same. It's like someone
lip sinking at a concert. I hate that. It kills me, but I hate that too. Exactly what they do actually make them. I get what you're saying. I get you're saying, like, oh, anyone could go up there and push button. Yeah you're not wrong, But I think when you get to that point, it's kind of just like the experience, that's what you're there for. Like, I don't think you care whether or
not the DJ is like doing his doing anything. But if you just see him going like this, like growing a line here and exactly like this, that you can do it. You can do it. Yeah, it's exactly Marshall. He can't even see you can't see any of the things. That's it. And the scrilling sky's just going like this. Yeah, but nobody kills because they're all you know, Yeah, they're all messed up. And that is having a great experience. Big good when I have a good time, Greg, I understand.
I'm just telling you. It doesn't I don't. It doesn't do it for me. That's fine. Look, I was never a big I'm not in a house. You show you know what I gotta do it. I got into it when not house, but when like traffic, house kind of got popularly when Marshmallow and Kigo got really popular and they weren't nearly as hardcore as like Tiesto and when they will underground more not underground like like now like
the music that like Kigo come out with. Now he's much less housy than all the music used to it. So he's saying it's more it's more poppy. Yeah, yeah, it's more main stream. Correct, So like don't like that, no, no words of stuff like like trance, Like I love trance, like he played me this. I've gone to a few like trance underground spots that have trance. It's just like
the same beat or whatever. Actually I did it you still like kind of like cripple reality and everyone's freaking out, so right now, so right now, So there's this um where's this sun? There's this Marshmallow song featuring Church. Yeah, that's very popular right now in the radio, Like that's a how's the song? But I love them, it's great. So it's part would you go to a Dualipa concert? I don't know. I don't know as much about that today because I don't party anymore like I used to
believe it's a party. It's just a pop singer. Yeah, yeah, like I I don't know about like you know. I don't listen to radio that much anymore either, No, neither. My hey day was like Tiesto and UMCIVICI. I was a little before Dead Mouse. Um. I can't remember Mafia. Yes, that era trancy, a little more trancy. You know. I didn't do it never. My friends would get all my friends like saw Swedish House with the garden, like two nights in a row. I wouldn't go to these guys.
I would just go to a club to see them in Vegas. Yeah, and I went went this zen. It was awesome. They went and saw a lesso at Hokasan the next night. I'm not doing that. And then we went to the Light or last night in Vegas and we got ye howkinsa sick actually because it's small. We had we had go to a pool party earlier in the day. I can't do both. You crazy? Yeah? The post for are you crazy? I'm for hours an hour.
We started at noon. It was like five o'clock, Like I can't, I gotta go, I gotta go in five hours crazy. I did them all key Pool party for like ten hours and we had to wear republic and I was just like I thought, three days had passed right. I was like, what's going on? We're still here? You probably we really still here? Probably eat anything, no exactly, drank not enough water? Probably my friends were lost, Like
where are they? My favorites? When you're when you're in the pool and the girls just willingly just doing anything. I don't care. There's time, all right, it's good. Happy Greg is back. You don't want to happy. But you know what, Frank, you don't want to go to the pool part with girls, take other tops, doesn't do it. I'm I'm engaged. Greg's okay, but you've never been to Vegas. Every one of us are engaged. Do you been to Vegas? I mean it was a family vacation, so I didn't
really do anything too crazy. I kind of guy. I was like drunk every night, but you didn't got like a club or a pool to one club and I saw a little John t J. That was fun. He's always there. You want to talk about a guy who basically did nothing on stage, he was just you know, doing fright with the Vegas and right there I did not. And then I turned to Greg and we see like Greg's mom there. I love exactly Greg, Where do you want to go. We gotta do something productive. There you
go to Greggy. That was this was Fiji. I was in Fiji. Drin we got to talk about. It was like a good drink. I would have that right tap one of those right now, we can be one of those. I gotta make them around here. What are we to do on the screen. I'm gonna go with the tension. Hey, I'm going to put that check on the screen, and I'm gonna go the Kathleen outside, who's great. Kathleen is awesome, and you may see if Kathleen can make me one
of those. All right, we'll do it. He has to show a perfect opportunity for Gabe to go talk to the hostess. He's been dying to talk. I wonder which I don't know which hostess he was hash the manager, the black morning man, the morning manager of the morning hostess. Very different, the manager with the black hair, dark skin, pretty girls, dark skinned. But once she walked by, just recently, some manager. You're saying, yeah, we're very hurt and I
are very friendly. Yeah. Absolutely, game wants me to introduced. Are you happy to Yeah? There you go, Gabe. I didn't know you were into a game all right, good for game. So there's Kathleen. All right, hold on, I'm gonna go see if you can do this. All right, I'll try and talk about baseball. Let's let's yeah, we'll talk some baseball ventra. Freddy Galvis last night it was four for four. Oh my god, what's happening here? Alright? Well, solo solo shot? All right, Freddy Galvis last night goes
four for four. He's got four homers on the year, he's got nine ribbies, he's betting three, and he's got a stole on base I think he's more of a deep league ad. What do you think about Freddy Galvis? You're buying in I obviously like Dames be Swanson more. What do you think about Freddy Galvis? That's my thing, Like I'd rather have Swanson right and Galvis? You know what Galvis is. He's just a guy. You know, he's getting high right now. So on the on the screen,
we're gonna put up a drink. I drank in Fiji like ten years ago, and it looks amazing. What we all want it? What is it? It's like a tiki drink drink, a tequila sunrise or something like that. That's what it might be a frozen peanut Colada baby break. Definitely would drink. But look at this, Kathleen. You have all different colors in this thing. You got a red and yellow, little green, blue down there, pineapple? We got here? Sure? Okay, yeah, can you make it? That's the question. Yeah, do you
have I'll take it. They have glasses close to that though, similar You guys don't want that? Sure? Are you all right? We'll get out three. I will buy the best. I'll buy the collos. Buying coos very much to say you have to expense this, like I'm not paying for it because that drinks, because that is for sure, like sears. Yeah, Christmas party? Dude, Greg, are you picking up Freddy Gavis? What? Greg?
He's hitting three four home? Freddy Gavis one of just a few players play every game last year, that is correct, one of I believe two games. Mad Olsen was one of them. Guess not playing every game this year. Freddy Freeman was also one of them. And he's playing you're not picking up? No, you can't? All right? Will we play in a fifteen team league? Middle infielder? And what if he's already taken long? Definitely taken Preddy Galvis. You
have Warmer Floras as your middle infielder right now? Are you picking up Freddy Galvits as a short stop or as a middle infielder? I would I would rather take Jeff McNeil. He's not available in a fifteen team. I would rather Chad Pinder. All right, well that's fair. Would you take the Pender? Would you take Pinder over Preddy Galvis at least Galvet's place? Yes? Yeah. Elvis is just a guy that's been around forever and all of a sudden he's good. Now. No, I'm sorry, it's not true.
What if I told you that told you three years ago he hit twenty home runs with seventeen stolen bases? Was his batting average to forty? But whatever? So that's his that's his top potential. Twelve homers with fourteen stolen bases. This guy could go fifteen, fifteen. But you're not holding him for the APRISTI. If you're picking up now, you're picking up for now because because he's AT's gonna take over theory, she's gonna take over in July. I don't care.
I don't care about July. That's what I'm saying. Freddy, you're not keeping up for the year subscribing to your theory. I'm looking at you should be picking him up. He's hitting more flyballs this year. Too many hits. He leads off right or hits one person. A better question is he's hot? Listen, there's no discuting this. He's hot right now. The better yesterday hit second in the Blue Day's lineup, right ahead of Justin Smoke. He's hit first second each
the last four games. He's got to lead off for hit second all of them. Wait. The better question is is there a guy you're there? A guy who would pick up like I asked you about him? Dude, just look into it. I was getting drinks for us. I appreciate it. It let me a great drink. You know, I haven't seen vent Or drinks since he got wat on the train, so I'm looking forward to this. Do you put that in his hand? How did he say? No? Yeah, no, I'm drinking that. That's good. I need, you know, I
need a refreshment. You know what I'm saying. Um, but I was gonna saying. The better question is there a guy that you wouldn't pick up over? Freddy Galvis, that's a better, queen. He does't be the best of the drinks. But she hasn't been any alcohol on it. It's just like orange juice by Yeah, please don't do that. We didn't tell her how much she's filling it off. I just I just saw a bottle upside down. I don't want to pay for that drinks. You didn't say house vodka.
Just put Tito's inside that too. Oh yeah, is gonna be a good day happening. This is gonna be fifty dollars of drink. It's seventeen dollars of drinking. Pinder making a lot of contact this year cut down the strikeout rates significantly twenty six percent strikeout rate last year, thirteen point seven percent strikeout rate this year. Line drives. He's hitting the ball hard, hard hit rate. I like Pinder two. But to me, Freddy Galvis's playing time is a lot safer.
Pinder's only playing it's left handed pitching. He played yesterday because they wanted to give happen in a day off. Matt Chapman. But I think Pinder, this guy Galvin, this guy Galus to do way too good right now. Like the numbers are crazy. I don't disagree but you come up all he's hot. No, he's not gonna do this, even this week. I don't think I'm gonna think up any other hot wilver Floora has been awful. When not when,
I'll tell you what, I'll put his zero dollar. Don't want it bidding anything for you, but I will drop when we're floor is the fifteen team league, Freddy. I just got a question on Twitter waiver wire question, would you drop Matt Strong for Frank Thornton? No? Good question? Um M, well I got his good questions for you, Greg, that's not usually terrible. Um should I start Jordan'simmerman? Who give me the right answer? Who did they face this week?
So yeah, you're probably just gonna ride the match up for both of these. It's been a lot better. But Tampa Bay is a scrappy d you're really gonna get in the way. It's Thornton starts tonight against Tappa and then next week in Minnesota. I don't like either of those. I don't love that. And then strom is facing Arizona tomorrow and then I'm not sure, probably not the hold on a strump. Yeah that I'll tell you this. If Trent Thorn has another good start tonight, but I'd rather
own him. We'll wait too much. We haven't wait too much on a Friday. We'll give use some more waivers and some more Shenatigan Next. Lose weight now go to fat dot com.

They like Robby Anderson. They just signed Quincy and noon Walk to an extension. They got Crowder for the slot. They have their running back room intact. That how we talk about time. Monk realized McGuire as well. These are all guys who can do work out of
the backfield. We're starting to see what the Jets are putting together here as far as the pieces around Sam Donald, and it's actually looking pretty good.

And this is I'm watching you on YouTube right now. This is exactly why you don't go to clubs. You gonna move. I don't like someone in the chat last night they traded there. It's actually Undertaker,
So thank you for watching Undertaker. They traded away there Byron Buckston to get Hayes Wu's are And I don't know if buckst I like is a blog, but I would imagine you could buy me even lower than that. I like what I've seen from bucks and so far very good. And I like R two like I think he's gonna bounce back. Do you guys want to play Jason Stark trivia? Sure you don't. Frank seen with Maryfield missed a two hundred hit forty Steel season. Just missed it.
There are three active players who have made it into the two hundred hit forty Steel season active active reactive place who two and forty steals? Is this is each row still technically active or no one is alt? Do you want to say the answers, Well, I'm gonna tell us if a right or not correct two is one of them. Um, one person has done it twice, Gordon, that's person didn't nice? Nice? What did we get all
the answers? There three players? The third one, I'll tell you what it's not Billy Hamilton's you know you know who it is. Hands got you shook, Handley Ramire, it's correct. Good one. Look at Rice venture I had when he was young. He was a totally different player. Start off that way right, He's started off stealing bases early on in his career, Rod Griffi bonds even Manny right, hands got you shook. That's who he used to poem when he first came up. Word up, say word yeah, Manny
never stop. Man wasn't He was a lot leaner though early on that slid job you had three for three, I am pressed, Well that you know why? That's that's uh, there's not a lot of guys who hit hits. And also steal Ford was Hanley is a good job by you.
I wouldn't superb job, thank you. Um. All right, one day that we had through about yesterday, still amazed exactly when day we threw out yesterday joking around a little bit was Terrence Gore, who you heard in the probo before the shar started that he's a rookie despite being the majors for like seven years, because he doesn't have bats. She just pinched runs. Billy Hamilton's got carded off the field yesterday, which looked that was so bad. I don't know how he ran into the wall like that bowls
right there. He only has a spring knee, so it's nothing super significant. I expected to go on the i L but he didn't like tear anything, thankfully, didn't breaking anything. Thankfully bring name. So there's a chance that Terence Gore because the everyday center fielder batting ninth like Hamilton's not every much of the season for a sure period of time, a very shure period of time. If you're looking for speed and legitim really nothing else but speed, Tarren score
is an option for you. Yeah. Yeah, this is strictly a RHADO play fifteen team or ale only, um like fifteen team mix or ale only. Anything shallower than that, like maybe in a twelve team league if you really need speed. But this guy is fast. He makes fast people look not so fast. He's in the ninety percentile of sprint speed on the season so far, he has you know, minor league seasons where he's stolen you know, forty four bases. I'm looking at this, he had one
with sixty eight stolen basis. Terrence scores are really really fast to stuff, and he he hasn't really played a lot of feel like I'm looking. I was looking at his mind as he play like eighties something games or so for the past like three or four years, because all he does, they just used him as a pitch runner. Like he's just really not league kind of like Billy Hamilton's might even be faster. It's just crazy to imagine
because Billy Hamilton's already is a better hitter. So this is just a deeper you know, if you need speed, you need stolen basis, even if it's for the short term. Taran score extremely fast. Yeah, he's He's one of the vastest players in the league. That's why he's a perfect really replacement um for Billy Hamilton. If Billy Hamilton's owner, I go, I go right up and pick pick up Terrence Coore. If wherever you own Billy Hamilton's I don't
think I don't. He's real owned daily. But whatever you wherever you think he should be owned, that's what I would do. Um what else do we have for guys? So Florida And we asked him he must add this week and he gave it the name like Bogelo Box. He talked about Swanson. We talked a lot about Jason Heyward a couple days ago, and Max Freed was the top pitcher that he named. The more I look into this and the more you think about it, and I was on, I don't want to keep saying this. I
was on free to at the beginning. The more you think about it, the more I think he's gonna do that. Keep this opportunity in the rotation because the big problems that when guys get back, he's going to lose it. And Mike Fulton Eviage is coming back. Kevin Galsman came back. He stinks, that's it, vent what you just said. He stinks. And the Braves are trying to win this year and they have no allegiance to Kevin Galsman. They don't care
about Kevin Gosman. When Faulty comes back, if he continues, if Goalsman stinks in his next start, and that streak continues, pitch like he's going to Gosman's out. Gosman's out. Look, look at this, look go pretty good. I'm just give me the mic, you can talk. Oh my god, you're the best man. We even want to do we even want to reveal with in here nor I don't know, we don't want to know. Actually I wanted to be all right, we don't want to reveal it. I wanted
to be a surprised. This is amazing much, Thank you very much. We appreciate it the best. This is amazing service. Look at this. How gorgeous does this look? This is looks like this pretty close. This looks like a fruity pebble in a drink. This is as close as possibly come to that. What is the green Martino? Can you put it up? This sale looks want to put it on the space. Let's look at all different kind of cars. So it's a little bit. Are any more arms and pink?
But other than that, I mean it's all over the place. I'm pebble. Um. This is impressive. How good does this look? M hm m all right? He take a sip now right, well, salute here we go. Oh that's great. This is this is great, this is great thee Oh my god, just need to be on a beach. Oh my god, is this good? Go take it away? Oh man, I see wee we'll get a flag and they want to see the light of the day. Oh this is spectacular. I wanted to go out there and like screaming to the mask.
There's your pineapple juice in here. Oh my god, this is good. This is good at orange on top. I don't want to I don't want to work the rest of the day now, thankfully you don't have to. Yeah, just taken off after this. Oh my god, this is incredible, this is amazing, like all of you. Did you get this? Yeah, whatever this is called. Oh my god, Rudy pebble, Rudy pebble. It's a good job. I don't even know what to say. Now. What we need is a pool. It's tasty. Holy I'm
gonna get this all summer. I think she put a lot of alcohol. I guarantee you. It's one of those things. Do you think there's nothing in here? You know? Oh my god, I'm getting the chills as much. I'm enjoying this great chug. Oh my god, this is this is the best Greg I do regard regarding Max Freed, I think that was always the case for they're gonna give a shock to Freed, to Kyle Wright, to Bryce Wilson. Whoever pitch the best was going to get an opportunity
to stay in the rotation. Max Freed has done that. Kevin Gausman, he was alright in his first start, wasn't great yesterday. Overall, I don't think he's very good. He's a two pitch pitcher, relies heavily on his splitter, but he's been prone to getting blown up at times, and I just overall, I don't think he's that great. And saw Nukem in that mix too. John nukemb got off to a hot start last year, but too many guys and he doesn't miss enough bats to mitigate his walks.
He doesn't strike out enough guys to mitigate the fact that he walks the world. At least with guys like Robbie Ray and Chris Archer and Glass. Now they'll walk everyone, but they get out of trouble because they strike out a lot of dudes. I mean, Newcomb doesn't, he hasn't unless she he struck out a lot of guys he had over a k per inning. But you know, tell that to big Billy. That's his guy. Tell that the big Billy. Oh yeah, I got that. QUI I got ripped for not like I got a Twitter quest. A
Twitter question just now from Johnny Sacks. Sean Nucombe walks for nine this season, higher than his case for nine. Jesus Christ, that's so, that's why I'm a Max Free. How much you're spending on Max Freed? How much do you budget? I'm not gonna be super aggressive on him. I can see like six seven What do you think? Yep? So my initial instinct that's always I want to give is probably slightly more than that. And I think I think you're probably right him and I am so that
that makes sense. Men? For what about you? Six to seven percent? Five? Just too busy and join the lovely drinking? How good is that? M all right? How much you spending on Max Freed? Um? Not much? No, but I don't think anybody realizes about this guy. He's and he has pan links. If they listen to us than they are, Um, I'll pay five. I got a question from Johnny Sax on Twitter. Not not the Johnny Saxon was in the surpremise's offering Jameson tie On for Chris Sale an insulting offer.
I don't think so at all. Would you do that if you're him? Would you trade Jameson tie On away for Christal? Would you would? Would you trade away? And the the other one I asked, would you trade away Louise Castillo for Christal? This is a good question too, if this gentleman listens to uh again, I was listening to the sleeper in the bus heading into today with Justin Mason and Paul Spoor and they question what was again? Was Castillo for Chris Sale? And you're giving away Castile?
And I would ride have Chris Sale? I don't have Chris Sale? Then tie own? And yeah, I think I'm on that side. This is the I mean, this is the perfect by cell high opportunity, right, Chris Salingu. The thing is it might not necessarily be a cell high for Castio if buying in, but he's the thing. You know, he's not gonna keep a zero point nine two e r A. But but here's the thing that would be very good. Buying low we say it all the time,
and selling high. It's the hardest thing in the world to do, because you don't want to sell, Louise Castio, if you think that it's real, we're never going You're never going to know, of course, if it's real, until after the fact. So what about buying low what's you're worried? You're worried that he doesn't turn it around? Of course. So it's the hardest proposition. It's always going to be a risky propositions when we say it like, it's much
easier than done. But to me, Louise Castillo for Chris Sale is the epitome of this by low so high doing it's like Tyler go down for Walker Bueler absolutely lesser extent, absolutely, and I'm gonna do it. I agree, you're gonna do what I would right away Castido to get Chris Sale. And I would trade away glass now to get Walker Peeler. I know you don't agree with that, but I would do that. Yeah, I would do the
sale one. I don't know about the glass now for for beula thing, I think Walker people owners are freaking out right now, Greg, what else you as Walker Peeler my home, I'm say me, I would think that they're freaking out the least that we play in trade leads. The GDD is right because you paid a lot for So should we go take a look? Sure? Should we don't paid a premium for him? You know, probably my league's a keeper. What beelers the keeper? My home leagues
are as well. Guys, I want to jump into two star pitchers just real quick, just kind of run down the list and tell me if you guys trust trust him or not. So Max Freed, we've been talking about him. Everyone wants to pick him up. He's got two starts against Arizona at home and at Cleveland. I love that. At Cleveland start, I'm willing to swallow whatever happened in the Arizona start. I mean, he's been good like he did it. At least it's not in corse Field. At
least it's not in Arizona. So I like that. I like against Arizona and at Cleveland. What do you think venture like those matchups? You Freed, you start him? I would start him for two if you need him. Yeah, Domingo Hermon just below him, and CBS going up against Boston and Casey. Again, this is a case where and they're both at home, so doxon Yankee Stadium. I know that you've been the Domingo Hermon guy. You're gonna trust him at home for two Boston and Casey. Yeah, because
that second start is I tend to agree. I think the problem with Boston. I have this vision of deming Herman like basically playing a littere. He goes like four in. He's not just three runs like something like, he keeps them in the game because Boston not gonna make him fantasy purpose correct, boss is gonna make him with throw a lot of pitches against Casey. That could be really exactly. That's why I agree with Chris. I'm just starting him.
Maybe he'll get you ten twelve points hopefully against Boston, and then it pays for it, because it would be awesome if you get at least double digits from Boston would be great. This is a really interesting one. You Darvish at Miami and at home against Arizona. I think you have to right if you owned him in the league too. But here's the thing. If you're not starting you darst to start week one of which is in Miami,
you should own him. Wait what is it again? Kind of agree with you that at Miami and at home and Wrigley against the Diamondbacks. Yeah, I guess if you own him, you gotta start him. When are you going to start him? Then? When are you going to start him? It's just so tough man. Not if you don't start him now you're not you should drop him, trade him. But it's that's that's why I called it interesting regarding you Darks, because he's one of these guys where I
would want to take away and see approached. Like, I don't think you should cut him, you should continue to own him. But he hasn't done anything to warrant starting him, aside from the fact that he has a two star week and one of them is against Miami. But his performance has not warranted him being started. So that's why me personally, I would want to take away and see approached. M hmm. This is tough. The first start is against Miami at Miami. I think that's because that could be
his turnaround game potentially. I mean, look his second starts against Robbie Ray and to how many walks are in that star creak. What's the problem prop for walks combined between you, Darvish and then Robbie Ray. What are you setting it that? Probably like six and a half the over take the over, easy to take the over all? Right, Greg, your boy? Why trade it to you? Big nicky p Nick Pavetta has been trash a nine point five four or five year ad to start the season, going up
against the Mets and in Colorado. How the hell can you start this guy? I would against the Mets in Citizens Bank and at Corsefield. Honestly, I can't think of two worst matchups. It's terrible, But I'm starting in Philly in Citizens Bank against the Mets lineup and at Colorado. You can't say so, Greg? If you if you can't start him in a two star week, why do you own Nick Pavetta? Well? Does she start weeks? Not nearly? Didn't the other two start a week? We just talked
about it is a bit too star Wars. But I'm not starting. I'm doing it. How about this? Whoever, Pa, I will buy him right now from you? All right, I'll train him right now. Let's make another trade right now, another traded for him. But I'll do it. You train him and a studio for somebody. Let's set up a trade right now. I'm training with Chris I'm getting I want to step in a trade between YouTube right now? Do you give me? Um? I don't know whatever you want?
What do you want? Your team closes stable a lot of players, all right, So his current catcher is Frankie Savelli, Greg Francisco. I shall take him. I'll take him back if you getting okay? Okay, right, um, which means I gotta give you a really good pick. How about this, how Marco Gonzalez? That might be fair. What do you think, Greig? I'll do that hot second. Oh, here's the one, Charlie Morton. No, I would have done. I would have done it from Morton.
What about Steven Matt Steven Matt's Greig mm hmm. Now that's somewhere Vetta and that's studio for Savelli and Matt's. I feel like Mac Greggy better the same. Should take Marco Gonzalez instead? Is not an option? You could see. He's been a hot second. He said, yeah, I didn't like Marco. He's trying to get rid of like Marco, I just like I love. I don't think this is his point in this deal, though, I don't. I don't see why I'm doing this. What do you find is
gonna be crap all year. That's the only reason why you're doing the trade. Greg, Yeah, Marcos better. You know, it's up to you. You know who does Marco face? What's what's this funny? Yeah? I gets Houston next week. He's been good the whole year. Next week Phillies, right, Phillies. Yeah, in Philly, in Philly for Steve Matt's Jesus Christ brace. Harvey is at home er seven times left? Should I trade for Domingo Harman? Hi, guys, I mean you can? You can? I know I can. It's kind of like
the American League version of can I get? Can I get two of them? With two pictures? What about Stual? And asked deal? I'm getting you, asked the deal? Yeah? And Pavetta Yes for her mom and Mark Gogin dogs. I ut your belly back and catch you and I'll throw sabll I'll give you I'm interested in. Now, let's talk about it. It's been a great week. We're gonna finish our drinks, have a great weekend. We'll see you back here on one day, we hope.
