Episode description

Gregg, Frank, and Chris Ventra look at some of the latest injuries, including how to replace the stolen base value of Trey Turner, who will be out with a fractured finger. The guys question if Josh Hader is next in line to be the Brewers closer, but Chris says the Brewers are going closer by committee, and it’s killing fantasy teams. The guys look at today’s lineups for the Yankees-Tigers game, and how the Yankees can generate some offense with everyone on IL. Frank gives credit to Mike Florio for coming with a stat that makes hitters have Christian Yelich type hit rates. Joe the Mustache, a big fan of the program, joins the show and buys the boys some drinks from Versa.  #FNTSY #FNTSYRadio #MLB #FantasyBaseball #ChrisSale #JoshHader #ChristianYelich #Brewers #Injuries

Back with you, Fantasy best Friends Forever, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Wellongside, Frank Stanfeld. I'm Greg Susman joining now. But the closes the Chris Vestrop, Chris, what is up? It is the close your sister's favorite close a k A sports guy. I got a question for you. Why is Michael Gibbons not the close of

the both memorials? Well, they don't, they don't. They don't have a let's keep it going, don't have clothes. If you were the manager of the Oreos, who would your closer be? Would it be Chris Ventro? I would say I would, I would make it honestly, I'm making Jimmy yacobonus, of course, but he doesn't suck. He's a love crappy players for whatever. Chisenhall Jimmy Yaka bonuses. I don't get the Chisenhole thing. But tomorrow, another of my favorites are on the mound by the whole fry went two innings

last night. It looked great. Um, I don't know. My favorites are a noun. Tomorrow guil Castro Anno Fino favorite. We're talking about my favorites. Now, why was there ananda? We're not talking about your Margo Vicious is on the nown tomorrow. Excited, Yeah, get about as excited as you were for Eric Lauer after the first start? How did that work out last night? I wasn't. I was more about Morgan. Is Eric Lauer physically soft heart? Eric Lowery? He is the Giants? That was you? Well, I'm pumped

for anyone against the Giants. Yeah, that's true, to be fair. Oh wait, they we're talking san Diego Padre's picture. Mick Nick Marcovicious, that's his name. Okay, look, I'm not even going at the name. I'm gonna call NICKI m Niki. It's funny because a friend of mine text mes he liked my pickups, and he picked up Eric Laue said, not really, not big. I love the honesty. Not really really, I don't like He's like, well, our was really good

in the minor leagues. I was like, yeah, a lot of people will, oh, well, you know what a lot of people do you remember, Big Nicky M had some pretty good minor league numbers. Here, Greg, I'm looking at him now, Nicky, it might be honest something. Actually, I know I looked at this kind of wrote them all the name. Let's see here. Oh my god, do you any we have another Kyle Hendricks by the way two on his fastball? Okay, Frank, do you remember a year ago or two years ago when I heard you stuff

in my headphones? This is really weird. Do you hear any of your headphones? No? I don't hear Greg, you're you do? You know? Just because like you're fifty years old and you're starting to hear things doesn't mean that we're all starting to hear things and now it's gone, yeah, well you know what, that's convenient. Honestly, it was. I'm telling you. It was September. Someone was playing September. That song I despised. Yeah, I heard it and I hate it,

and I heard it in here. I'm telling one of my favorite things that Greg does is this Jewish mom impression of singing that song. That's what they all do it now, Greg, No, I'm good he's hearing September. If you if you do that now when we talk about the Tigers, I'll give you a role. Really, No, I don't wher my impression was. It wasn't this. It's more so just the singing and the way that you were singing it. September. Do you remember that twenty first night

of September and every Jewish mother loves So? Will that be playing at your wedding? Greg? Yeah? You know when you said band list, I thought you were saying, oh, I have a band that's playing. They will be playing any d what a big sensorsip sign over? Actually, band, Now we need your tiger, your cringe worthy tiger crawl. Well we'll save that from when we talk about Jordan Zimmerman and uh and Shane Green. But I'm looking at Nick mark a vicious here. Greg. Oh no, now you

guys don't like just look just like that. No, big deal. I'm just looking interesting. So alright, last year at single A and high A ball, I mean, this guy basically just got pushed to the minors. He hasn't He has fifty eight and two thirds ending pitched at double A. The average over a strikeout for ending one point two three walks per nine walk rates great. He's good in single A ball. He had ten case per nine. He had a one point zero six aose eighty miles per GREG.

And he throws his fast sixty five percent of you know, it's not gonna work. He's gonna gonna work. He's gonna get throws his fastball sixty five percent at the time, and it's eighty eight miles per hour. Maybe he's fastball slider. Spencer Turnbull actually throws like ninety five greg. But frank his walk rate and he suggests that he might paint corners with that am a pest. We might have another

Kyle Hendricks on hand here. I don't know. I know you love Kyle Hendricks, so I mean, look, if you want to, if you want to pick up two year old Kyle Hendricks, go for it. I guess the fly balls too. I don't know. He might be a stream. In deeper leagues, it's the Giants obviously, but I'd rather have anything other than that. I think I'm out on market. Vicious have Brooks Brooks Aaron Brooks, Aaron Brooks, I'm not at arrom Brooks. You're out. I'm not at m Brooks.

By the way, in an injuries just announced or tweeted out Trade Turner on the ten d d L professor's finger. Most players missed sport to six weeks with the injury. They're showing a longer seven week optimal recovery. Trade turn Yeah, because obviously with the with the finger, you got to be able to grip the bat. I mean, they're not gonna bring him back until he How did he get hurt? Did you watch it well? Are he squaring up to bunt the fastball hits him square right on his index finger,

like full on contact. He didn't move and there was a camera like right as as he went down and the trainers come out, he says, I broke my fingers. They're trying to pope pop it back into place. Some people were speculating that it was dislocated, dude, like that thing was was fractured. That's so disappointing for so many fantasy ons that drifted him in the first round. So because he was also an amazing start too. He's start

deals and two homers over his first weekend. He's too much of like a gritty, grinding player that's always slide and heavy. First, I know, I listen. I love the guy. It just stinks he has had some some weird hype injuries because he's all over the place. Yeah, it sucks, definitely sucks. I saw a few people talking about in the chat Greg picking up Marte. I think that's yeah, that's probably your best just stolen bases, um, probably your

best bet at replacing something hot. What the name that's been that's owned in about I think sixty four percent of I wrote it on the rundown um as du Cabrera also if he's yeah, I've been mentioning him since the Daniel Murphy and he has three home runs and he has eligibility all over the place. Not a sexy name, but because he's since the ball is gonna fly out there, man, the ball always flies out in Texas, and he hit runs as the middle infielder. I think it can. They

signed him for a reason. He plays Adrian Beltre, He's gonna play every day. You just switch hit her too, so you don't have to worry about what I'm like. For me, it's just very hard for me to to grab as Drowable, like just pick him up like I'm just like you don't like you want to draft you on Moncada. You want to draft all these young guys Victor rob laz and Albertomondacy who had an inside the park Homer last, right, Come on, man, put some respect on Auble's name. But I guess you could if you

had like a little like a laudious Gorielle. Are we dropping Corrielle at this point? I would, Yeah, I have no problem. I probably I'd probably do it for Kettle Marte too, Turner, Greg. It's it's not just a position, because if you're just looking for a shortstop, you're fine. You can pick up as Drouble. You can pick up Tim Beckham, maybe even Marcus Simon. You're trying to replace the speed. That's what it comes down to, right, So look at Garrett Hampson still out there. Hopefully he starts

running a little bit. We know how fast he could and what he could do on the base pass based on what he did in the minor leagues last year. Yes, he gets rolling through the most added shortstops. There's there's not a lot. Man, if you're trying to find speed, it's it might it might be a lost cause Marte, You're gonna struggle to find stolen bases while he's out. Marte might be the best bet for an everyday player.

We look at this utility hitters, is there anyone like anyone overall, anyone in the outfield who can steal base? Is Holton Wong was already added in a bunch of Alex, So I think it should be higher for Colton Wong, Malex Smith, he's owned, Anthony Alfred maybe some stone bases in the gosh man owned is brutal, Greg brutal. All right, back to last night. That's it. Yeah, look trying, I'm trying to help people out with Trey Turners. Just it's tough.

There's look, there's just not there's not there's no stone. They're not replacing that moving on. Yeah, all right there, you know you're really not replacing that production from trade Town. It sucks, just not it sucks. Oh thank god. Honestly, so I get this text. We were supposed to have dinner at home tonight. We're having dinner at home now. I told you before that you know this healthy stuff this week, so like, all right tonight, I told you this.

So we have nothing at home, Like great, we have pasta and have like focca sauce and like enjoy it, right did you? Who just sends me this recipe which is like pasta with like lemon and green beans, And I was like, how can you ruin pasta? And what Judy choose the rest of Like it looks good. I'm not saying it doesn't look good, but like when I was super excited for this vodka sauce, this really spicy like hot red pet for the whole deal, and then I get this, Frank, I'm just like, yeah, there's too

much green on that pasta. It just really I look, I'm already I'm usually down for past so that's fine. This is I wish it was past This is olive oil, garlic. You're talking peas and broccolis. That's what I had last night. It's it's it's it's green beans with a little bit more with the garlic. Uh, you know, palme pecorino romano. Listen, I love that's basically what this is with some green beans also green beans right there, peas piece, that's what this is. It's and I like women. Stuff kind of

threw me off there. I like, you been heating healthy all week and you want something hefty, It's all I asked. So I when I got I got a little conscious. And Greg just pulls out a bottle, just sprinkle some. That's not how you do that. So I got a little concier with pepper as well that she said I could have. So that was nice. What is that, cat, Peppe? You'd love it? What is that? You know what? Other? Come on? It's roman um, it's peck. It's peggerina romano

and pepper. That's it. And butter that's it. Mix it all together. Oh my god, I'll try that out. Uh C c A c I O caccio and Peppe. Alright, alrightco Peppo you'd love it, you both would love. I gotta look into this. Cannot be more up your I mean, I love pecorino romano, but it's doing romanto and pepper.

It's it's it's a little it's a butter in a dish and then you put butter, bucatini, bucatini, but you put it on the on the Greg was Italian and his ever set and you put it on the stove and you just make the pasta, and you make the pasta with the sauce, and it's it. No, that's it's the whole recipe, right, Yeah, I like it. One fact, I thought it was Italian for most of my life. No Italian. Do you think it or reveals some Italian? I hope so for I don't think it, probably not.

I don't think I've never done it either. I should try it, see what happens. Imagine you're not to imagine you're not actually Italian or Sicilian. No Italian, no Sicilian at all. Yeah, I wish I was Italian? All right? I want to actually go to the twins in the Royals you mentioned Albertamanday here have been right sege Italiansfani Gregg oh Jam would have been want missed it? All right? Royals? Greg, I'll rot on this here. How's that not really Italian?

But we'll go with me with it anyway? Now all right? Um, honestly had the inside the park Homer at their Buckston got hurt trying to go after the ball. The Twins wound up winning this game five to four. Jose Bettios seven innings, seven hits, three runs four. Strike you at your boy, Chris um my man, Brad Kella six things, five hits, three runs, walk four which sucks, but I got five. It's quality start um from Brad Keller. As I mentioned, Ian Kennedy blows the save last night, Brad

Boxburger's stunk last night for the Twins. Your boy Taylor Rogers pitched the eighth thing is a tough lefties and Blake Parker came in in the ninth. One name I didn't say, Trevor may Broco bow Delhi mixing matching in Minnesota, Nedos just having no idea what to do in Kansas City. Maybe Willie Peralta with the next guy up, maybe he won't, and maybe Kyle Zimmer will be up. Who knows? Um

with Kansas City? Greg, Why aren't you as fired up about the Twins bullpen as you are the Orioles bullpen, because this seems to be as big of a mess, if not worse than the Orioles. I don't think it is well. They used Taylor Rogers for Lefty Max up saves and then last night they used Blake Parker and then they could still mixing. They haven't Trevor May if they want to, but they haven't. They're probably gonna, are they. Well, we didn't think. We didn't think Michel Castro was gonna

be mixing too, the saving. But the Orils are a dumpster fire. They have a guil Castro Richard Blyer pay about them. Then one day I underation, but so this is not a dumpster fire. The Royals are dumpster fire. Who is the twins closing for the No for the twins, it's a lot like Tapa Parker May. And it's why, why what what are you saying Trevor May for? Because I think for May actually he's picture of that. I'm

glad you think that. But Roco bell Deli says, when it comes to saving games, it's going to be Taylor Rogers and Blake Parker, which he said, he says that now aren't we playing? Aren't we playing? For now? Listen, Rocco, if you need a close and just for the record, just for the record, your boy Trevor May had pitched on Saturday, so he was fresh, and they went with Blake Parker. This is like for now he seems to be the guy. This is like the Tampa Bay Rays situation.

You gotta let so May's not in the picture as a close right now, he's right now, right now, keywords to me. I think he's a better picture than Blake park I'm not I might disagree. That wasn't saying that Josh Hayter is a better picture than Corey Knevil and Jeremy Jeffers because he is. Yeah, and now, Josh Hayter's obviously the guy in Milwaukee. But last year, despite being the better picture, he was not the closer they wanted

him in crucial situation. And I think Taylor May you'll see in crucial situations against right and I think you'll see him when it comes to saving games. I think gonna be a lot of Lake Parker. I'm gonna be a lot of Taylor. This kills fantasy teams, you know, like this MLB. That's why you need to do this. Yeah, exactly, it's killing killing me right now because I'm dropping Michael Gibbons everywhere, drafted him everywhere in a lot of a lot of fifteen team leagues. Um Taylor Rodgers was picked

up over the weekend. We had Modica on a Monday in the main event. He picked him up. Uh, and I'm gonna look up Blake Parker's ownership percentage. It is on Yahoo. So look fifteen team rodo, you're gonna speculate on as many saves as you possibly can. I do agree with Greg that it's probably closer to the Tama Bay Rays right now than the Baltimore Orioles, because again, they could have used Trevor May. Last night they go with Parker. Personally, I think Trevor May is the better picture.

Last night you mentioned Brad Keller got the quality start. It was about as barely a quality start as you could possibly get, Greg with the four walks, and it wasn't great. The VLocity wasn't up from his first start either, so hey, close attention to that. He had ten swinging strikes, still gets a lot of groundballs, but for Jose Burrio only seven swinging strikes pitches for Kay's look, he could have been worse because he's been really bad on the

road his career. Jose Barrio said, is but you know, early on in the start, I believe he gives up. He serves up a homer to Ryan O'Hearn early on in this game. I'm like, all right, well there's just more Jose Burrios, you know, sucking on the road. But he settled down a little bit brier and runs seven k. I like, that didn't walk anyone. He's got to get better on the road. He does. I don't know why he's And it's in Kansas City. It's not only it's

a hitter's ballpark. It's it's it's more so picture fricicly, that's a big ballpark. I don't know why he struggles on the wrote so much. I think it's just a mental thing for him. But but the first stoll was great, so you know it was great. It was it was phenomenal. Be fair. And they also do Twins lout yesterday Frankie from Twins line up. No, it's pretty straightforward. I know. H everyone's favorite hitter, Williams set in there, got a single.

He's in there today too. Great. That's more. Next from the NFL to the NBA. Daily Rodo dot Com is the place to win millions in daily fantasy.

I also have a Corey core update, pretty rough first ending here he's he's got a bases loaded, Jam already gave up a run, so he's losing one ZIP against the White Stocks and has bases loaded with Daniel Palca up at the dish.

The Brewers are winning one ZIP as well against Louise Castio, who is still pitching well three innings, one run, five strikeouts, opposed by Freddy Peralta, who is pitching a little bit better, and Luis Kiss I need Kyle Gibson to get shell today, But I don't think he's gonna really these kind of Gibson's apologists. No, I'm not. I think against the Royals he can. I'm just not scared. I wrote him up on Patreon as one of the streams that I like today.

I hope, you know what, I'll Gibson was actually pretty good last year. Man, I don't think he's shares of him, So, I mean, from that perspective, I'm not He's not a great fantasy guy. I don't think that had three six to a lean with over eight strikeouts for nine. It's the best year of his career now nine and two thirds. Like, he's pretty good. The whip is not good one point three year. He walks a lot of guys. For someone who walks as many guys as he does, he should

be able to strike out more to mitigate that. So that's what you worry about with him. But he pitched with three six two e r A. And he's he's gonna be pitching in a favorable ballpark in target Field too. So I like him today against the Royals. Sorry, venture Yeah, I know I'm playing him in a you know, tight matchup. So let's get this Detroit and Yankees from last night. Jelly, you got it, and that was it? Do we get to have a voda? Did the camera wasn't even on you? Well,

that was it. I did it, Alex, I did play the one from the other day. We will. I'm quite positive of that. Uh. The Yankees fell to Destroit three to one to knock well enough six hits, one run, seven strikeouts. Yankees. Absolutely, I fell asleep there it was. That was it. I hope that I was gonna come close close to that. I feel like you've always jordanser s one r on, one walk, struck out six. You're

buying Jordan's Immerman for the time being. What I looked into last night was he had thirteen swinging strikes on ninety four pitches. So the swinging strikes once again there for Jordan's Immerman against a not so hot Yankees lineup. We all know the injuries that they're dealing with right now. But what I'm intrigued by Greg was the fact that he threw one curveballs last night. One that's a twenty

two point three percent usage rate on its curveball. It hasn't been over six in any season since two thousand and ten. And I think throwing his fastball less can help Jordan's Zimmerman because since he's joined the Tigers, his fastball has been one of the worst according to pitch values on fan Graphs, one of the worst pitches in all of baseball. It just absolutely gets rocked. He used to be able to get away with it because used to throw with the Nationals, but since he joined the Tigers,

it's been more like two in that range. But if he's throwing boys slider and throwing his curveball more and throwing less of his fastball, it's additioned by subtraction. Is a two star week next week, going up against Cleveland in Minnesota. I don't love the Minnesota start. I like that it's in it's in Minnesota because it's cold there and the ball won't fly as well. But against Cleveland he's gonna be really good. So I do have interest

in Jordan'simmerman two star week next week. All right, I mean to me, that's reeks and desperation because we all know, yeah, I'm not in He hasn't bad thus far. Thirteen and two thirds innings, pitch one and run. He hasn't, but the latter he face. The Blue Jays are not good, and the Eggies are cold, and the Egg's lineup last night, the bottom half of the lineup was awful. There was a guy named Michael Topic playing left field. I don't know who that is. Who is that Talman? Who is

this guy? Where is he? In the lit of today? I don't even want to see it. This team, this team is tough to watch. Right now, I'm gonna pull it up. Hang on, it's it's out there, Grea, I'm gonna pull it up. Don't look. I've made a few changes. Looking you just you told me you don't even want to see and he looks, so I'm looking at all the wine ups. Now, oh, I like this. This is much is much better than yesterday, a little more formidable. Today.

This is much better than yesterday. Leading off, he was leading off Gardener because he's hot, Aaron, and Gardner stinks it's not playing Aaron Judge about the second, Luke Wait third, Gary Sanche's fourth, Labor fifth, Greg Birds sixth, Clint Fraser seventh to Low eight talkman nine. That makes more. It's much better. Talkman center field. Talkman play antenna. What are you doing? What do you like? You're benching Brett Gardner who's a lefty for another lefty and Mike Tauchman. No

I think, I guess. Yeah, it's a day game, day game after a night game. He's old, he's old older, but you're old. So I'm like a great bird lefty in the lineup against the lefty and Matthew Bully don't like Tyler Wade but not Void at first base. What a disaster do you see last night? Like I understand they were hotshots, but get your body in front of it, especially your body. Luke Void, the big gas body, he can bought it in front of the ball. He's part of the reason why they gave up runs last night

because he's not getting in front of the ball. And apparently he you know, he was calling Joe him and he was like body shaming Joe him. And after you got hit by a pitch an update today, I'm like, really, Luke Void, of all people, body shame people. Void kind of jacked. He's a little jack. He's like fat Jack. He's Jack, thick jack Jack Mass. He accumulates mass. Bran Zerman Homer, huh m. Just had a ding ding to

go getting shelled. No, only got a Rock Mayne Nick Poll because onto something there I don't have any shares of. He said, I know he's afrom this year. Um, Shane's on the record saying Bower over Noah Shane Green because of his third saved last night, Shane Green being the Shane Green again. I'm about to pick up Green. Greg. Wait wait wait a minute, wait wait wait, wait, wait a minute. You twelve team Lea. You owned Michael Gibbons, and you bitch about Michael Gibbons and Shane Green came

in in this season as the closer. Michael Gives was supposed to come in to this sea. No, no, Michael Gibbons was in a mess. Shane Green was the unquestioned thought. Michael Gibbons was gonna be the closes for the most part. We would never have drafted Michael Gives over Shane Green. That's true that I would draft Michael Gibbons. He's better picture than Shane Green. Shane Green is the closer I know well now that I know he's the closing. Mine

givens Michael Gibbons now not getting an opportunity. He's listles to me, So I'm dropping Givens. I'm gonna pick up Shane Green. You should you should have done that already, Well do it. I can't do anything Week one anyway, weak ones locked. It's been locked forever since the beginning of this season. I'm getting smoked in my home league because I have Daniel Murphy and Stanton in my lineup. That sucks. Yeah where else where else? Shoul we go

to here? Who were really getting messed up? Here? Greggy rearing runs here in the first still not out of it. We haven't talked about Zack Rinkie yet. Who last night pitch of six innings shrug out ten allowed three runs, including two bombs to Hunter Renfrew. But he made up for that because he hit two bombs himself. Because the first picture in MLB in the MLB to hit two home runs since Madison Madison Bump Ghana on opening Day, also hit a home run last night and should probably

be hitting clean up for the jig. I'm not kidding. He like we always make fun of these teams batting their picture eighth, like Bummy needs a bet higher than eight. He's bat like six. He's a good hitteriously better hitter than half that lineup, Joe and Cotta. Joe now out of the line because of Kevin par Like when they d H were they gonna be a l park, They should d H Madison bomb, they really should. But actually

I saw this on Kevin Polar. Stephendugger is going to remain the center fielder and Kevin Plar is gonna be the every day right fielder for the Giants. Not that that really has much relevance, but anyway, here on the Reds relevance. The two bombs last night on Zac Granky, that's what you needed to see after his first start where he got bombed. Um did not look good in that first start. The velocity was up a little bit

last night. He was up to eighty nine points seven miles per hour average fast bo velocity, thirteen swinging strikes on his hundred and two pitches, so you know, seven on his change up, seven swinging strikes on his changeup. You needed to see that from him. The velo last night was closer to where it was last season as most of his first start, where he was you know, in that eight eight range. So good to see a little bit of a vlo uptick for granky. I don't

have any shares of him. I was off. He still had ten strikeouts quality start, didn't walk anyone too, So that's good to see what star still gives up, still gives up to two home runs there for za Cranky. Yeah, I wasn't you know granky either, but lost Greece last night, and good see him hitting the ball? Well. I yes, you know why I wasn't on him, Greg, because if I were to get granky, I would have wanted him as my sp three three, and he was most people had to get. Yeah, I just I wasn't willing to

invelt what I was excited about Francisco. But here was in the lot of last night with two before the job, Greg, you know who else was in the lineup last night? Give this guy every day at bats, please, Christian Walker. Greg, another home run off of a right handed relief picture. This guy can hit against both sides of the plate. We need Christian Walker in there. This was a game where he started at first base. It was against Eric Lower,

a lefty. I understand that, but we have to see a few games where all right, let's get Jake Lamb back over at third base. Let's leave Christian Walker at first. As long as he's hitting this way, I think that they're gonna have to try and find ways toe him in the lineup. Greg. The Diamondbacks have to be creative because while they're well, they're performing well right now, they don't have the lineup that they do that they've had

from years past. So they got to get a little creative here, and I think Christian Walker is one of those guys that they can do that with. They're gonna mix the match a lot probably, you know, like Greg

Hall does enough and he gets the save. It wasn't the easiest save for them all, but it was a save thentheless and he still is not allowed to run this season, Greg Holland because that guy that Yeah picked up for Opening Days, he's just kind of like it's the close pin on the nose, Greg, and you just kind of like you'll take the four E R A. But if you give you thirty to thirty five saves whatever, because the saves are that valuable, I would imagine he's

gonna be that guy. But he's been. He's been pretty good thus far. Yeah, I think it's it's not a bad pick up. Jungeon. Real you didn't have to have him than Givings absolutely gives is not gonna have Holland or Shandon Green. Holland m M, I will take Holland as well, he caused. I think the Diamondbacks are probably a little bit better, and there's a better chance that they trade Shane Green, and there they trade, but they probably will trade Greg Holland too. Right, the Diamondbacks aren't good,

which I could definitely see happening. But you're right, Shane Green is probably likely to be traded. Kettle Marte two five with a home yesterday, Kendle Marte. You called that yesterday adventure. Pick up Kettle Marte if you're missing the middle infielder kill jan Rye pin too, and know as he went seven eggs two runs doesn't really fair against the Giants managing bum Garner a loot of five runs, zero which were earned, also hit a home run in this one. M Yeah, hingered ryou just more more of

the same here. Look when he's on the mound, as long as he stays healthy, he's gonna be really good. And obviously he was really good last night again against the San Francisco Giants, going seven innies. That's what he really likes to see from Ryu was the efficiency eighties seven pitches in seven innings, so probably when most times, you know, Katam had met around that nitch mark, which at times might hinders the ability to go deeper into games.

But you know it worked out last night because again he was going up against the Giants. But bummy, Greg, you gave hup five runs, none were earned because there was an error, but gave up a grand slam Belly Bells and and and Bellinger. I think that's really good lead. You know, he's kind of one of the the unsung

heroes already in the early part of the season. Five home runs and leading a grand slam last night off of a lefty, that's what I love to see from a little bit more than a lot of other people. Coming into this to this year, I thought he had undervalued. I know he didn't have a great either last year. I thought he felt to head that I thought he fell too far in drafts and and Belinger, I believe

they made event felt pretty far. If I remember correctly, I have a shot I got him in the third round, right, and in the third round he got he went Judge Sale, Bellinger and I was like Steel, it is ridiculous. Yeah, no, I agree with you this, This is ridiculous. By the way, what happened I went to on Emily Doting your account is currently used another location. Wow, No, that's not supposed to It's really annoying. It was happening to me all last night too. We all share MLB TV because you'd

be able to use on unlimited devices. You should be with everything else that's going on with MLB dot com Right now, Greg, resent your password by logging into emmy dot com. You're supposed to be able to have unlimited device. They really expect every single person in the world who wants to watch every game of baseball to spend a

hundred and twenty dollars on their package. They certainly do. Yeah, I mean, it's just ridiculous that I don't know, because you know, everyone has Netflix, but it's not like everyone has their own Netflix account. One person spends six dollars a month and and it's you know, it's for five different people. I share them. Yeahlix like three people like Greg Madison. Bumgarden last night only had eight swinging strikes

against the against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The fastball. Velo was actually down from his first start nine point six miles per hour. Um, we're still using that cutter a lot and basically as his main pitch, using a lot of all speed. Here the cutter eighty five miles per hour. He threw at the most of all his pitches forty times. He used the curveball, mixing the change up a lot as well. Not as encouraging as his first start against

the Padres. It's still tough, tough line up against the Dodgers, obviously, but can as you say this about Ryu so, okay, seven in is great fish and everything. You know what Rau is good. You know that he's good, He's been good for years. He just you know, he's gonna get hurt. That's a fact. He's going to get hurt everything exactly. And that's why I think, you know my theory about what the Dodgers should do, because this is gonna wear

them down. Every time these pictures go seven innings long or long in this season, two or three of them will get hurt. Two or three two already hurt with Kershaw and rich Hill. So I always think that this is what they should do. They should have three starters go one day and three starters go the next day. They picked two or three innings each, and that's how the rotation should be because the Dodgers fit that mold

perfectly perfectly. The thing is, you'd be changing the game and completely changing your you know, your roster and everything by doing that. But I think that would keep them healthy. You'll get an efficient three three to four innings out of each of them every day, and you'll win games. These guys are gonna get hurt. The whole rotation is

gonna fall apart eventually. Yeah, that's one of those things, kind of like the the opener for Tampa Bay changing the game, which sometimes it would suffer a fantasy because we didn't know who was gonna start. But from the Dodgers perspective, I mean, it might actually be able to work, but her fantasy it would be it would be tear. It would be bad for fantasy. But I'm saying for Dave ro you know, for his team, for them to do well and last long into the playoffs, I think

this would work. But they've been making the playoffs, so I can't say anything bad. But these guys always get hurt, you know, they getting hurt all of them. Greg, I'm looking at bum Garners. It's usage from start to start nearly identical, you know, throwing the cutter over forty of the time, curveball change up right around the four seam, which what we talked about is is four seam is very bad. And we spoke about that with Florio. Say

I had an awesome stat. Uh. The isolated power against his fastball last year was the same as Christian yellowish is isolated power overall. So basically, every anyone who was making contact with Madison bum Garners fastball, it was Christian killets like contact, m VP like contact great staff by Florio, and um, you know, the only way to kind of remedy that is your ball less. And it seems like Bumgarner actually knows that his fastball is really bad, and

that's exactly what he's doing. Did you guys see who's betting third for the Indians today? No? Yes, I did see it. What are we doing here, Greg, Jordan Luplo, what are we doing? What are we doing here? I don't know. I got nothing there. I don't know what that's about. Didn't they signed Carloskins off right before the season. Give me cargo, Yeah, give me some. He'll fit the moment of the rest of this lineup, old bunch of hatsbins you only mart It's Carlos Santana. Carlos Santana's not

a hand. Do you like Martine? We get back Jordan Luffalo betting third. Jo Mustat's gonna join us over some lad ups, stick Aroul round with the show next from the NFL to the NBA.

Then Ron SmackDown in the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. You know it's

it's gonna be a crazy week. But I am I've been looking forward to this for six months now. How are you? How are your seats for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday? Um? So I dropped six hundred bucks apiece for WrestleMania. Oh my god, would be or what no, no that seriously, seriously, seriously five piece. But you're probably in like the middle area. These these tickets would be really good seats for a football game. So did the yard line ish? Uh? So

it's end zone so it looks right up the entrance way. Okay, so I sat the last WrestleMania was here. I sat similar spot. Actually I dropped two hundred bucks, so it's probably higher than your right. Yeah, this this would be like end zone right at the wall. Got it, got got it? So I was like higher than you end zone staring at es right. It's cool, I mean it's it's it's a really cool event. It's really freaking long. Really seven and a half hours, like I mean, I

know the pre show starts at five. It will you're you're lucky if it's over at midnight, Like it's long, not to you're paying for, right, I mean that's what I'm gonna pay nothing but him in particular. Yeah, I mean telling Judy no salad on Sunday, kicking Judy out for Sunday, Greg, She's I'm welling to stay. Well, it's nice to hear your fiance allowed to stay in her own house during but there we know Kardashians on Sunday. Oh yeah, yeah, the other room room. Yeah, Frank, how's

how's Williams a studio doing studio? Has an art single already today? Man? But then is he playing first base? Get on board the hype train, man, Get on board the time he playing third base? Today playing third base? Look at this guy. He really needs really the lineup every day. I mean with mcgilsa no hurt, he needs to be in that lineup. He's the best hitting catcher they have, and he's got one of the good plody around the diamond. Nelson Crews really screwed that up for him.

Oh man, David Doald just ya six three double not good sucks. He was hot. It was dude that he was gonna look sorry, Greg, why are you laughing? I'm laughing with you. I'm not laughing. I thought you were sorry. We like David doll I don't. I like David Dalton nobody. You know what, Frank does something all the time when his players do bad, he hitting this grouchy mood. He gets all depressed and upset. You should make fun of me too. Then my player gets well, it's all fair

make fun of my players. I don't laugh when your players poorly, But you have no shares of doll that's what I have. You had to see Frank this morning on the computer. He was like, oh man, he's looking at players like he seems so pissed. He was like talking to himself. I was like, what is going on? I don't know, you're just talking. I don't I don't even have a seat, so I'm in the I mean the hallway on the floor. Yeah, yeah, that's right, because

cal fell asleep in your what disaster. That's a fantasy pit for you. That's a fantasy pit for you. Indeed, you're saying, so Monday's us. How are the seats Monday and Tuesday? We got just basically nosebleed seats on the door. We got cool? Uh what are your team? Is? Look at life this year? Man, when you're David Nola shares so the biggest league that I that I really eating.

I'm two time current, two time defending champion Raining, defending Raining defending undisputed Everyway Champion of the BIGS two years in a row, three years overall. It's a fifteen year lead. We've been running since high school. Um, I've got I've got Bower and Barrios, Border Rodriguez and Trevor Richards and my bullpen is a bit weak, but my offense is uh figured out. I went. I went outfield in like like I did last year. Um J D Martinez, Tommy

fam how many outfielders do you start? Free? Okay, but it's left, right and center? We don't play. We don't play like that. You know what? I actually fright in the center. I like that. I don't. Yeah, I'm out that, Like, why why wouldn't we? That's too much thinking? The thing is why, like why wouldn't thinking? Yeah, I don't want to I don't want to have to put Well, if I want to drift three center fielders, why can't I drift three center fielders and sut all three or three

left fielders? Why can't I? Do you put them like that? Flexibility back? You want to be and you want to be here all the accuracy? Now, Frank, why are we playing with corner in fielders and middle and fields that they don't have that? What do you mean you just said, Oh, that's what they play? They playing the major they play let fielders, centerfil the right fielder. In real life, they don't play a corner raining field there and middle eliminated, then utility, but I do, but the staple and I

I do eliminate it. And then you call me out for having an a T league because the eliminated those. Yeah, well you should have deeper starting wrong. I don't, Dan, I don't understand if you have left field, center fields, right field, and then at two outfield spots two on top of it. I don't have a problem with that. Now, you just not everydiculate you would still start five outfielders. A lot of leagues still start five outfielders, Greg and

don't start start five. Of course, I'm just saying I like that at spect it's a little bit different for fantasy. I wouldn't mind playing in the league like that. It's fair because a lot of the outfielders play multiple positions. Multiple Yeah, like who everyone has left center field eligibility anyway, Yes, do you play on Yahoo? I'm not a big fan, Frank. You don't have to, You're right, but you can have an opinion. Yeah, Frank, Frank, Frank to pay where he plays.

That's why the CBS. I've just been there for so long. It's kind of what I'm used to at this point exactly. So that's why you don't like that. Well, yeah, Yahoo, When you pick up a player and can't even start them the next week, that's that's a setting, that's a setting thing. And I'm not the commissioner. Tell you right now I could. I could pick up a guy in my league right now. I could pick up a guy and start him this afternoon's setting. Yeah, I choose the setting,

did it? I did it. I did it with Well, you need to help our cresial. I'm not getting involved because us studio wasn't playing, so I had to bench him, pick up a catcher, and how far I was playing. While your attention is focused on the start of LV season and the final four NFL teams are focusing on the upcoming twenty nineteen NFL Draft, we're gonna have some draft coverage. By the way, Frankie, uh that traditionally you're are in charge of I believe what Yeah, I don't

think that's true. I believe the last two years you you've been here for the draft. Is that is that true? I have been here for the draft for sure. So I could still be here for the draft if you want me to. But I have not been in charge. I think we're gonna make you in charge of this one. Probably not I think so. Yeah, I don't know. And for serious fantasy football players, it's never too early. Then

well I'm traditionally not here for the draft. Yeah, but the person who you replaced, right, you're in now in his role he was in charge. So now means you're so now you are very simple deduction, right, So you're so so you should be going to much more, many more meetings than you are going to then if you're doing using that deduction, I went to a meeting with us. We're not talking about everything that's asked to me. And then you want to run the you want to run

the interns. No, I used to do that. You did it. It was my role that you gave it to me. Vent event you can't run the intern I mean Steve Community, maybe he should be communicate just one of them.

what are you guys doing? We're watching I'm telling me this is this is young Bartolo Cologne with a better bat. Like this is like he like just pokes it and like his helmets falling up, like he's a mess. He's as he's basically crawling up big it's he's gotta hit two eighties like he's trying to grab his helmet and strolling off his head. And I like him. I like the last year. I love him. I love him. He's gonna hit too. Eight is never gonna strike out, he's

never gonna walk. But and then you see my Twitter timeline gets ruined because I see sent Tim Tebow no getting you know, I like seeing stdo a big guy, you know, helmet falling off the head. It's funny. And then I see Tim Tebow. There you go, ruins the day. How do you feel about are you? Are you on board? Have we have? We brought me into him a little bit. Now we brought you to the correct side on this one.

He would have to pick him. I would say that, you know, uh, that hit was definitely very fun to watch. I enjoyed that. Two days that we haven't mentioned yet from yesterday, they wanted to just briefly mentioned that it was your boy, Anthony desk Lafani. Yeah, eight strikeouts yesterday, Jem, you in on him? Yeah, I don't have him anyway, but I mean, we pick him out next week. I don't know, you're not really on him. It's hard to pick up you see, not really. Hey, I love him.

I love him of the Italian after I don't like Gallo. I mean, you know, he's dying. So here's the thing I want to pick him up with. There's no room, you know what I'm saying. I'm on Mantas more so I picked up Mantas already dropping strom not Italian though not Italian, he's Hispanic. But you know, thanks for the clarific. Eventually, eventually de Sclafani will be on one of my teams, that's for sure. Eventually that before after he's going to

hit the deal. Oh probably before he's probably he's matched up with the Cardinals for next week. Need to go to the Dodgers at this point, like I can't stay healthy. That's that's absolutely absolutely true. But you know, against the Brewers last night, I thought it was a pretty promising performance for for Anthony Desclfani. I really liked the curve usage again, Greg, similar to Jordan's Niman here yet thirteen swinging strikes yesterday and eighty nine pitches, uh, six of

them coming on the curveball. He threw the curveball thirteen times. That's fourteen point six percent usage, and his career curveball usage entering last night was seven point two percent, So he's up in the curveball usage. The VLO was up a little bit as well. You know, you get hit on the gun, it's you know, he's not gonna blow people away. But against the Brewers only allowing one run, striking out eight good lineup. I like it. I like it. I'm a treaty. He's he's more so in the camp

of pictures where I'm scouting him. I'm not adding him yet. Put him on the scout team. I'm not I'm not adding him yet. Watch I don't really like the match up against the Cardinals next week. It's at home, it's in the Great American Small Park. Um, it's more of a scout for now. I'm not adding a high end scout on the top of the high end scout or one of the Marlins pictures. I would definitely take Pablo Lopez. Yea,

all the Marlins pictures. Yeah, I don't like. Let's just say when we talk about Marlins pictures, Trevor Smith, Richards, it's Alcanzara. It's you realize that two of those guys is probably not going to pan out. There's no way all fuller Marlins pitchers pan out for you this year. So you can't say that, but well listen, because they're all they're all guys coming up, you know, not unproven,

all of them pretty much. Richards is probably the most proven out of all of them to be honest, and you know, yeah, they have high upside, but some of them aren't going to pan out. If it did, the Molls will be one of the best teams in the league. I would the Mets head four pitchers and two but here's the but again, here's my thing. I say this every day. I don't care if they pan out. Pitching will right now. So you're you're looking for quick streamers. Of course, why am I going to worry about it?

Worry about July all this September right now, it's ridiculous. So we'll take all four of those Marlins over Disco. I don't like to scream pitch against the Giant, Chris. It's not so much streaming as it's in your picking up a hot player right now? All right, No, it is kend of Marte's. Has he picked him up? It's kind of Martin gonna be on your team in July? Maybe maybe? Yeah, I see, that's the thing. I usually pick up players hoping that they'll be on my team

for a long time. Of course you did, but you're not great, So I'm not gonna worry about it. No, I know, I know. I just don't like to drop pictures, right now that could be useful for me later on, and then keep picking up dropping pictures pick every week. I don't like to do that. I like to have a nice stable, you know, rocation or bullpen or whatever. Uh So I try to hold him for a long time. That's why I'm looking disco fan. He could be a long term thing for me if he doesn't get hurt.

And you know, molls pitch is the only one that really strikes me. I guess right now is Lopez out of all of them, the other ones, I'm not really like, you know, I'm not lookingna I said this. I said this last Caleb Smith felladly the one I'm off of most um, it look good the other night. It all looked good. It will streak out to walk Ratio. Going back to the start of spring has been really really good for Caleb Smith. I've said this about al Kasara.

I know how good he looked on Sunday. I think if I were to choose one, that has probably been fools Gold most out of all four of them to this point, I think it has been Sandyiel Kazara. But it's not that I'm runing against him because I want him to do well, and just to give you guys an idea of the Marlins. They have a series of aves this weekend and then they traveled to Cincinnati next week. We'll see Cincinnati again. Not really a great place to pitch.

It's a great American Callip Smith. Yeah, sure it might trap. That makes sense, that might trap part of that. Guys. You have three minutes left, so you look at the lineups that are out for today for the games and

obviously haven't started yet. Um any interesting here, frank Uh the games that haven't started yet, we already went with the Yankees the Tigers gross Christian Walker back in the LAT up today, facing another lefty standing clean up with Parl the third You boy, Kettle Marte's banning second over

Flora is not in lat up today. You know that's interesting to me too, because they're opting to go with Jake Lamb at third and they're they're moving uh Edward, they're moving edwardo to second today, so there's no woman Flora's. They want to get Lamb in the lineup, even though it's lefty on lefty, but they're actually doing what told him to do and they're using Lamb at third base and they're keeping Christian Walker in the lineup. Lamb's really

a third basement. I mean pretty intrigued by that. For the padre that you want to know, Hunter Renfro back in the line up again after two home runs from last night. Fran Mill Rays is the clean up hitter today. This is really bad outfield defense today. Oh my god, it's horrible. Willers and center field friend mill in this lineup. Those are two slow corner and outfields, and you've got Willy isn't Senna this though, Greg not only his friend

will Ray is playing, but he's betting clean up. Eric Costmers all the ways six fifth, he's seventh, so I gets look, it's a lefty on left either going up against Robbie Ray. So they drop Eric Osmer a little bit, but okay, Ramo Ray it's right behind Machado, Willmers and Ian Kinzer. Good spots of being Cardinals. Laetup just came out, very normal lineup for there. There's no Tyler O'Neil. Unfortunately, Colton Long is still betting seventh in this line up.

Miles Nicholas is going to be on the mound for them. I want to watch this start see if he bounces back mikolass against It's pretty good. Um speaking of Thailans or people at SATEEC Thailand. Big game between Atlanta and Chicago tonight. Julio Tehran, he's on the mountain tonight. But Chris ben Cake every hitter against Tehran tonight, You're off now. I'm not a tehron guy. I was never a company. He became a thing because Jake's silly bished. Big deal. He bashed me one day. I'm not on listen. He

should get shelled at anymoment. Scoring game tonight between the Covers and the Brave who was pitching for the Cubs, John Lesna, Oh yeah that man. John stacked lineups Max Shmaker against Oriol Snike. Greg. I like him in DFS. I like him in the stream as well, ja man cheeney that and forth. Let's go try uh for Joe, thanks for something much appreciated. I want to thank Sean for coming all of us last hour as well. Are

they shown downstairs like voted downstairs? Think bench, I want to think Frank, oh, Greg, we'll do it all you go gamorrow. We hope be sure to follow all our social media at evn T s Y sports Net and at evn T s Y Radio and now I'm tweeting about you Bra Fantasy Sports Radio Network,
