4/4, Hour 2: Last Night's Standout Players, Player Matchups and More

Network has become best Friends. Fantasy best Friends forever, our number two Fantasy best Friends Forever, Fantasy Sports Radio Network. I'm more to get to you with news yesterday. So New's notes on this morning include an including Bress Wilson being now in the miners, optioned by the Braves, Max Free to be in the rotation, and Evy Alfred we were a little bit excited about back in the miners. Ready, what happened there? Option? What? What was the move in

conjunction with that? I got nothing? You've got nothing? You know? They also optioned Sean Read Oh the one you got crushed on Twitter about the other day. Jokes man, absolute jokes. Alright, it's our two, which means Frankstample and myself are joined right now by the Closa Chris Mensher, what's up? What's up? It's your boy the closer. You tell off that feet out. I like that. I didn't even get a camera shot on that one. No, no, big wow. Yeah you're not,

thanks Martino, you're not. You're not deserving of a camera shot, camera shot. It's still so it's the Mets home. Open it sean angle. You have done that. I look very tiny. Yeah, I gotta lower the shot, tiny ventra. Yeah, I got the chine shot for you today. I don't know. No, you know what venture you lied because the soul patch is the thing you wanted that He never said, I would love to be in charge of everyone's facial He said, chin patch. You took that as soul pass. Yeah, soul patch.

I never did the soul patch. And frankly, I'm afraid you have to do it. I don't want to. I don't want to do it. Dude, you're engaged. Yeah, she's not going anywhere. No, they can do whatever you want. It's not even about that because I already know whatever you I already told Christina yesterday. So listen this weekend, we're going all in. You're gonna give me a hair cut. You're gonna shave the sides. I'm gonna leave the top long, you're gonna braid it, and we're gonna diet blonde. But

then she said, why don't you just diet purple? Said, okay, purple is my favorite color. And the Rockies and you know, sick Rockies, rocky per hair. I thought we were getting the tatis. What happened here? That's what I wanted. I sent her a pictures. Yeah, and she said, oh, she laughed, and she said, all right, I'll do it, But why don't you do purple? Because she thinks if I die my hair blonde, it's gonna ruin my hair because I

have black black hair. You know, you know what, are we gonna be able to see purple with dark black hair? I think you can purple very it's got to be very purple. You won't see it, right, It was gonna be really purple. So we're gonna get purple braids on Monday. Purple. We're shaving the sides like this is staying, but it's braided, you know, the back, and then we're gonna have purple

basically almost throughout the whole thing. Can you can you e some beads at the end of those beats of the area, some Jamaican beer about it's gonna be a project. It's gonna take hours. On Saturday. I told the guy ready with doing a project Saturday. The game out of the background. It's beautiful. I'm all four crazy hair things like the crazier you could do with your your hair. I'm all for Yeah, so we have opposite end of

the spectrum. We have, you know, as vanilla as it gets right, you love there's a lot of people out there you love vanilla ice cream. You don't want anything on top to sprinkles, vanilla and sp that is Greg's Greg's no, no, not even rainbow sprinkles. He's got the dry hair like no ice cream, nothing and sprinkles. That's it, because look, you won't even grow out of beard. You have generic hair cut. It's fine, you know, is it? It's not for I feel like it's Ventras style. You know,

it's not for everyone. No bananas, spa used. Maybe you throw something crazy on top of it. It shouldn't rock the road. I used to pajel my hair and then it's like it's it's over. Yeah, No, one scoop of vanilla ice cream Ventura is no no rainbow sprinkle either, frenk, No, you're not generic. And me, I'm I'm the three flavors. I'm the chocolate, strawberry. What is that? What is that called neo politan or whatever it's called. I'm somewhere in

the middle. Eventually, that's all the crazy is no crazy stuff, right, and I'm in the middle. So we got every end of the spectrum. That's good. That's good. I mean from perspective, I wouldn't say Greg's had is very vanilla though, because you have that dry hair, wake up look, and a lot of people like that. It's a trendy look. One of my friends does that look. People like, I don't like what you're doing right now. We're supposed to stuff

on the show. We're not supposed to say that. We're supposed to make fun of his hair, and then he gets very self conscious and he starts going and he starts doing stuff like this. That's what we're supposed to Honestly, my good haircut last time out and feeling good. Yeah, Like I'm saying, there's nothing wrong with it. It's good. Like like there's people who could pull off the vanilla look you're one of them. I would love to see Greg in like braids or dreadlocks. That would be the best.

Probably too much curling. I think if you could just get a beard out of Greg. So I's not asking my hair. I've I've grown it out for like two months, not cutting it and just like this, yeah, out, puffy out. You know it's not it's it's it's to frow is what it is. We could you could, You could be creative with pet you could be creative with it like that. Basically I would do that, Like I would love that puffy, puffy mohawk type thing. Is is cool, you've seen it

rock that funny picture. But my hair. Alright, UM's probably do some baseball stuff. Graig, you we leave. You just went on a whole thing. No, I'm not the one. I was blamed you. It wasn't me. It's amazing all of us. Her mom Marquez speaking of purple hair and

the Colorado Rockies. Man Marquez, my man, your man, Christian for one nothing, I think three for Charlie Morton versus Marquez seven innings, seven Stris three walks, three hits allowed, Chuck Morton six innings, four hits, two walks, six strikeouts. Both these guys were absolutely fantastic. Two gems. Do you want to know the guys you expected from? I do want to note that. And I talked about a Monday. I'll do it again. Who'se Alvarado in the Thaie game?

Zero zero? Hitch the eight, truck to the side, Diego Castillo hitch the ninth. Now, who do you do you have with? They faced my a jazz rank. I'll look, I'm gonna look at it right now. It wasn't one of them was black men for sure, because that gift of the ninety two steamer like went viral today on Twitter.

So that was against black men. So Jose Alvarado face the eight, nine and one hitters, which meant Diego Castillo was saved for the two three and more interesting recording Alvarado in the eighth was it was Garrett Hampson righty, Mark Reynolds righty, probably blackman lefty. Two right e's and one lefty. Now, how telling is that? Though Gregg, I don't think that in save opportunities, we still have gotten two saves from Alvarado and just one from Diego Castillo.

To me, it's looking like it's a match up play and Alvarado might have the eighth and Castillo might have the ninth based on what we've seen in the past two days. Yeah, but but those were in high games or blow up. He been save opportunity. Here's the even more interesting part of this for me, Frank, that they didn't leave Alvarado in just pace Doll in the ninth, Like, why don't just leave him in for one more? Better? Because they him for the one because it wasn't a

save opportunity. Sure, but the Rays play all these matchups. It's Alvarado against black Men and Dollar to start off the night. Why would you not just lead Alvarado in there. I think Kevin Cash is kind of doing his best Joe Madden impersonation. Greg. I think he's trying to be the smartest guy in the room and try and keep everyone off balance. When you think he's gonna go one way, he kind of goes the other way. He's kind of keeping everyone off balance. And it's not like Alvarado struggled

ten strikes throwing spaceship movement. When me and Gavel talk about this. If this it looks like a UF. They couldn't even that pitch the black Milbu hit, they can't hit it. It could have been give me the best left handed contact hitter of all time. You're not not touching because the way that it's coming in is looks like it's gonna paint the inside corners. You know, you

have two strikes on you. You You have to swing at it and then it breaks inside on a lefty hitter, and if you make contact with that, it's is breaking from batter, it's going foul. And the best lefty contact hitter you're not hittingment is insane. And that's what I'm saying. It's not the lack of talent of Alvarado. And I think what you said was too safe to one. I think that's what we're going to see for the most part too to one Alvarado. But Diego will get his

save opportunities. But that's not good. That's not what you want coming into the young A lot of people thought, you know, hey, if if the Mbaba Rays get forty saves this season overall as a team, Alvarado is probably getting thirty of them. The thirty out of forty you don't want. Probably, you know, that would be a seventy

five to ratio sent go to Alvarado. So now you know, if if it comes closer to two to one, then if they get forty saves, then we're probably getting closer to seven out of Alvarado and we're getting maybe thirteen fourteen from Diego Caste. Yeah, that's not you don't want that. Thirty five saves for the year. I'd be happy with with Alvarado. Syndergard's hair and he got going, he's got he's got the door. I don't I don't know how to feel about this thing because he had it on

opening the first day that he pitched too right. It's kind of like a mohawk ponytail thing that he's got going on. He looks like a Viking. I think he's really embracing that. But his he he's not just letting his hair down and like floating anymore. It's like in a ponytail kind of thing. I have a ponytail. Can we get to camera and Ventura it's not really a pony, taip I don't even know, not a man, but what

do you call a baby pony? That's what a pony is even even smaller than a pony, because I don't know that's not a pony, like right now, like Syndergard has a ponytaip, I think it's ponytail. Oh, I see it. Speaking speaking of Harry, people, come on, Greg, don't kick him. He's literally down belowest kicking. That's fair. I will. I will say this regarding her Man Marquees. He's off to a great start, as he should be. He faced the Miami Marlins, the Tampa Bay Rays, he got a contract extension.

It's all good, Greg, everything's going well. He hasn't pitched in corps field yet, and he's faced Miami and he's faced Tampa Bay. Miami obviously great. Tampa Bay is a team that's gonna strike out a lot there, scrappy offense. But but he hasn't faced the toughest comp Let's say this to say that we know at this point that he's a good picture. You know, he's a good picture. He could be a very good picture when he's on the road, right, That's what I mean. I don't know

how he was last year. He saw at a four nine four year at home and he hasn't pitched at home yet. So let's take that with a grain of salt. No pun intended, but he's gonna be a little bit more rocky at home. Definitely, definitely did. Let's look at the game with had some offense yesterday. It feels like we haven't talked about much of the Nationals in the Phillies. That's one night Animal Sanchez four innings, four hits, four runs allowed. He actually left the game because you got hit.

Um I dropped him, Yeah, he should be dropped. Aaron Nola went three innings, got rocked, six burned, runs allowed, only struck out two. I dropped to Aniball Sanchez for Yanni Tornos. Is that a move that both of you guys would make as well? Torinos I think expected to face the Baltimore Orioles next week, I believe, and that's that's why I picked him up. So it's a stream thing because Yann I'm looking at a lot of matchups early on here. How about so Yanni faces San Francisco

this weekend. I can't get him in my line of yet because it's a weekly league. So if you're looking at Yanni, Torrinos is next two starts and you're trying to pick him up and it's the daily league for you. He faces the Giants this week, so that in San Francisco. Next week at Toronto. They've been brutal too. So next two starts for Yanni Torinos look very very tasty. I dropped, I dropped, I dropped Animal Sanchez for I liked the San Francisco Toronto. I'm not sold on them being a

terrible hitting team just yet. You know, I've been watching them there. They're bad, bad. Once you get flat, it obviously changes the complexion of that lineup on it's he's not here yet, Like there's a couple of guys until maybe middle to end of April, there's a couple of guys out like you know, smoke and you got out a birthday was ripping. The thing is mean Roger Center. It's they do they all strike out. And look at the Yankees though you know, eighteen strikeouts franchise record. We

strike out. Maybe we gotta start treating pitches against the Yankee pinch hit or Chris Venture coming too the plate. They might need me. They speaking of the you know we were supposed to talk about the offense, Greig. I didn't even see anything the offense yet because the bullpen for Philadelphia that you guys you thought would be the closer, Uh not, Bob both sucked. Sir Anthy Dominiez allowed two runs in his appearance, and then David Robertson just walked in.

He was worse. Yeah, Robinson was worst. Rewalks and you don't you don't normally see that from Robertson either. He normally has a good control, sometimes too good of control. That's why he gives up home runs because he pitches a lot in his zone. But yeah, real, real bad

performances here from sor Anthony Domingez and Robertson. And we don't really have any information or data regarding those two and how the bullpen is gonna be used, but everything that we've expected from Kapler is it's gonna probably be close to a fifty split, I'd imagine, at least regarding Robertson versus Domingez. They were both not good yesterday, and they paid for Robertson. They did pay for Robertson point.

But you know, I think this is what gab Capitlal wants to do, is he kind of just wants to make some match. But if Robertson pitches like this, it won't be very long till Sir Anthony too. He did, but he at least had two strikeouts and he didn't walk anybody. He got hit. Okay, he's gonna get hit. It's gonna happen to everybody. But this guy walked. Three guys in Rome walked in a run to lose the game.

That's bad. That's a bad, bad thing. And if we're if we're looking at Philly's pictures, Greg, and might as well start at the top two regarding here, who gets bombed? Um gives up three home runs, six earned runs. I looked into this, Greg, how about this? Last year Aaron Ola finished second in the National League and Say Young Award voting, and he didn't allow more than four earned runs in any start last season, allowed six earned runs yesterday. I think he allowed four and runs three or four

times last year, but never more than four. And he's already done that this season. I guess you could say he was due. It is the ball, you know, I know Modigi came on Monday and talking about, you know, is the ball juiced again this season? I think maybe that's what we're looking at. It's going back to you'd have to go back to September of seen the last time Aaronola allowed more than four earned runs in the start. And I've looked into his velocity. His pits utage right

on par with what it was last season. So that's fine. I think it should worried about that anomaly. But he had five or six walks in his first already had two walks yesterday and gives up three home runs. Alright, let's put Aaronola under microscope here for the next two starts and make sure that he bounces back. I wouldn't worry yet, though, because you know a lot of good pitches I've gotten sheld early on spring training for a lot of guys, remember so yeah, but you know the

guys who were doing that damage. Rendon three hits yesterday, hits a home run, wants Soto three hits. Also hits on home run, his first of the season. Zimmerman gets on the board. It's a home run. And again we mentioned Victor Roebliss was not at the top of the lineup even without trade Turner. Same thing goes for today against the Mets. Robolost batting ninth, he was over three whereas Adam Eaton was one for four and Brian Dozer was one for five, So it doesn't exactly help your cause.

There your your boy. Victor Roebliss got a fool by the deck yesterday. Really yep, so what do you mean it was? He's on first right, running with the pitch grounder the third slow ground at the third base, so he's running the pitch easily safe at second third baseman Mickel his with Mickel, Frankie might jeans a girl at short. But they fake throwing. It's a first base. Just look around it when he got him out. Fake throw it's

the first second throw it. They don't throw it row less rounded second, if through the second and just tag them right out. Rod lest got fooled by the d guys had a few rookie mistakes that started the season. He's been picked off I think twice already too. So those are the mental mistakes that are gonna keep you betting nine pigures. Absolutely all right, we'ren take a break here, gentlemen. When we come back, oh, we're getting some more from yesterday,

some more from today, and we'll keep hanging out. Fantasy dfs from the NFL to the NBA. Daily Rodo dot Com is the place to win millions in Daily Fantasy.

Greg, I have terrible news, terrible. Level one is terrible, terrible. It's up there. The bull spend to Turnbull is losing one zip. I'm sorry if I scared you or hey, so Laire has an RBI double on the day already.

I did scare me a little bit because I give you the scale and you're just like it's bad. No, But we love Spencer Turnbull. Here on the show, we do Spencer Turnable. Guys. Speaking of pictures like Spencer Turnable, I asked you Dre Ray, I want to bring it on the air. We're talking about Freddi PEARLTA. We talk a lot about match Shoemaker. Who would you rather have pick up right now? Spencer shoot Spencer Shoemaker Matt Shoemaker or Freddie Peralta. I'm gonna ride the matchups for now.

Greg and I mentioned that Shoemaker is at Boston next week and Freddy Parlta is at the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. I much more prefer that matchup against the Angels. I think these guys have similar upside. I worried long turn about Freddie Palta maybe getting pushed back into the bullpen, but for now, I'll ride him while he's hot, and I'll use him against the Angels. Pentra, who do you

like between Peralta and Shoemaker. It's tough because obviously right now both but parlt I'd say higher upside, you know, maybe a more longer term play. Shoemaker could have a good full year, but I think he's more of a safer play right now. I guess a higher floor, not as higher upside, you know what I mean. Parls is a little inconsistent. Yeahs outside yesterday, right, you see something exactly could be tremendous, but he could also blow up, right. Shoemaker,

I think could be more consistent. So if I was looking for somebody in the back end to hold it down, I might go Shoemaker right now. Okay, Yeah, if I'm just looking after the matchups for next would be I would prefer PARLTA, but I don't. I don't think your take on either one was egregious. I think it's I think they're fair. Actually, I can't log into him. I'll BeTV password okay, and I have it. Who was watching it last night? On the end? Who was watching it

last night? I was watching the kind of night it was done when I fell asleep because I couldn't watch it. Issues are gonna persist, obviously, be all right, let me try MLB TV. I had an early night last night. I had a Greg sauceman like night. Was a man up and normally I go like between twelve and one, you later than me, I guess, yeah, but yeah, I was trying to watch some some Red Sox a' the West Coast. It was two night games, yeah, last night. So I had it on rough out the whole thing.

But sometimes I don't like I just leave it on. I don't pay attention. So he's just on, Please don't do that. Yeah, let's not do that. I know now that you know or whatever, You're not very frustrating other people are trying to watch. No, I know, I know, well the watching. The whole point of getting this was so that everyone can use it. It's universal. Now it's not so dumb. It's an issue. Yeah, problem, Yeah, I want to change the password every day. Don't do that.

Don't do that. Little power a second matchups right now. I leave parlto has a better matchup, but very achieved by Shoemaker. Peralta has owned an eighty two leagues where a Shoemaker's fifties. So it seems like a large majority of people are SI him with Peralta, right, so it is tantalizing. Let me go to the phone lines four, three, seven, nine. That'd be fun. Let's start with Nate Chicago. What's up, Nate? What's up? How much you? Um? Yeah? So I got

a trade question for you guys? All right, yes, so, um, I had trade Turner and I'm in a head to head points league and you know how the East Pan League. So um, someone just offered me, uh Correa and Felipe vast guys for Turner. What's what's your thoughts? M hmm? Alright. So the update that we got from dr A in the first hour was free Turners healthy to return date, he would expect seven to eight weeks from to be out. Let's say June one for fun, sure, let's say June one.

All right, I want to ask you first, who is your replacement option at shortstop right now? So? Um, last night, I uh, I don't think he's gonna keep it up, but I've picked up Holding Long and I've moved by as uh down his shortstop and put Colton Long and a second I also picked up kek Hernandez, but I'm gonna have to fill that with a reliever. I'm end up dropping him, but Colton for now. So so I like that. Actually BOOKI her Nandez and Colton Long obviously

very hot. But he might have a need at relief picture as well because he's getting vasque, is right. Yeah, So right now I'm low on closers because I took the risk of taking kimbro in the draft. Um so that's another thing. I'm hoping the Brewer is gonna jump on him, but it doesn't look like anything's happening with that right now. Okay, so you need you need a relief picture, and look, you're getting a good player in Carl's COREA I'm I wasn't on Korea because I was

worried about the injuries this season. But he's turned and he's been swinging the bat all right, like he's been pretty good. Yeah, he getsn't hit for you know, much power yet, but it's only been a few games. I think it's a fair trade, Greg, I'm not. I would probably do it in the Points League, like stolen bases don't matter as much. I would take Korea and you get a top eight relief pitcher in felipe A Vascas as well, I would do it. I don't think. I don't know if he'd be I've betty top ten at

the end of the year. I mean, he's that's just one of those players that's not gonna be so he's going to come in once every three. So here's where I am with this trade. I'm not doing and I'm the interest trigger figure guy obviously, but like I'm not doing it in the trade. Terror Is back on June one said, we assume he will be. You're getting a lot of good months here at a trade Turner. Turner's obviously is gonna really better than Carlos Correa and I

never we don't do it in draft season. We shouldn't start now put all that much stock enclosures in general, like because it always out there all the way of wire. I think you've actually had a nice job with the guys that you picked up in replacing trade to her as good a job as you possibly could do, and you'll continue to switch those out. The key here Nantaz is the Colton loogs as they get hot and cold.

So right now you're okay. Closer wise, you're gonna find a guy, whether it's an ethnic swarzact, whether it's who ever winds up as the Royals closer, whether it was Greg Hollands who just appeared out of nowhere, There's always going to be guys that come in and out, and I think that on April four, I'm not freaking out about grabbing a closer, even if it is a guy

like Felippe Vasquez for me, who's significantly better. Whoever you're gonna find throughout the season, that's one thing potentially, So yes, I'm not making the move. Chris the decider, So I'm with Greg. Don't make the move yet. Be patient. You might get a better offer, or you might find someone willing to give you more. Uh, don't take the first offer. I don't think this is the greatest offer for me. You feel like you can milk more at a trade to earner if he wanted to. And it's early, like

Greg said, it's only April four. You have time. You can make it work with Colton Wong and keep you Hernandez for now. Right, and let's say you are you know as you go on, you know what you're saying. You need something trade trade turner and get something better in return. Maybe you could get a better better than Karreo or better than a Filipe Vasquez somehow the two for one. I think you could do a little better. I think, Yeah, she's um he I think he's putting

Corey on the market a lot right now. Um. But the problem is so right now in my starting lineup, Um, I just dropped one closure, but I Will Smith and I'm hoping Camber comes back. Um, So basically right now, I'm just banking on starter. We get sixteen starts this week. But I'm just banking on starters right now because Will Smith is mediocre, best than and you don't get saves. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I I get it. Um, I'm just waiting. Yeah, I understand what you guys want to hold onto Turner, but

typically I don't like to have injury optimism. And you're trading away a player who's going to be out for at least six weeks. I think we'd imagine, like, even if he comes back in the middle of May, he's out for the next six weeks. We know that for sure. And I wasn't even the Carlos Karrea guy coming in. So I just find it interesting that you know I'd be willstening to this trade, but you guys don't want to.

I understand you want to wait, you want to be patient with Trey Turner, but um look, you're getting two guys that are healthy right now. Tray Turner could easily, I mean Korea could easily be a top ten shortstop at his position. The same thing could be said for Felippe Vasquez as as a closer, he could be a top ten closer. And I know what you're saying regarding the pickups. He's done a job. He picked up Enrique Hernandez,

he picks up. But what if you don't worry, You don't want to worry about a constantly having to find the next hot middle infielder, the next hot reliever, and you just want a guy that you could put in your line up and be a closer for you and you can have your shortstop. That's why I would make the trade. Here's the thing about that, if it was categories completely understand your point in points league, you don't necessarily need to have closers and you don't have to

worry about that. What he could do is he has a bunch of starters. Throw a bunch of starters out there, stream starters, stack them up in your lineup. You don't have to have closers. I've you know, I've done been very well without a good closer before in a points league. Is I hear you that's a weekly head to head I mean daily? He said it's a point, so I assume it's just he said it's head to head points, so it's weekly. That's what That's what I would imagine

regarding it. And you're right about relievers are not valued as highly in head to head points league. But if you get a top ten guy who you could just plug in your line up, you don't have to worry about it. Because with trade, Turner losing a star. Guys who steal bases are not the greatest for points leagues either, they're not. But Turner is a little beyond than just the stolen base. Yeah, he has a little bit. He's in a great line up, he's at he's a table

set at lines and score a ton of runs. Um gets on base a ton. Like He's just a great guy to have. He's a star. Uh and Korea could be that guy too, So you know, he could win this trade if Korea has a great season easily. The problem is, do you see that happening? I don't know yet, to be honest with you. That's why I find it so interesting because I'm I'm not even a corea guy, like I don't even like Correa, to be honest, But like, I still wouldn't even do that trade. I'd wait, I'm

like Karrea to play the market. I'm just I'm just I'm not even playing the market, So I I don't hate the trade off. Right a week, I want to maybe just put trade Turner out there and see what other people offer you as well. Say, hey, wos having one the middle infielder and a reliever. Have a couple of people send you trade offers and a kind of way all the different offers and our in our work league here. I believe they put Joan Carlos stand on the market like they were texting out like hey, he's

out there. H m hm. You know, we see people are doing it quick. You want to listen, You want to listen to these guys. The majority they don't take the trade quote. Also interested. We have another call. It's our friend Bob, but verm. What's up? Bobby? Hey guys, you guys doing what's up? Guess what happened to us on Saturday?

Why do you want to watch the Royals games so badly because I want to watch the games any games that are on. I watched that I mentioned the bull was losing one, losing no more. The Tigers are up two to one. Micki Cabrera with an RBI single, Nico Goodrum with an RBI ground out, Ventell last night. You want the you

want Moncada? Yeah, it was deep, Yes, he does. How you feeling that you hit a double? I think you had a sick game. Three three runs scored, two rb I s, two walks, hits a home run. What I like to see most from Moncata again, it's twenty three plate appearances, extremely small sample size. He only has three strikeouts. That's the big that's the biggest key. We know that when he's when he makes contact, it's going to be very good contact. And I said this before the season.

If if he could cut his strikeout right down to eight percent, whereas he's been at thirty three and thirty two percent his first two seasons, If he can cut it down to twenty eight percent and he can hit to sixty all you have to do cut your strikeout rate by five percent, You're batting average will go up from two thirty to two sixty because of the contact that he makes when he does make contact, very good contact and so far has cut it down tremend a sleep.

I mean it's early, right, but three doubles two Homer's get an extra base. Hits power, I mean, the guy's built like a tree trunk like he's he's just solid as hell, and and he hits the ball extremely hard. I think he's gaining confidence. I think that was the thing with him last year. I didn't really have the confidence in himself and he lost his way a little bit and just started carying a ton and sometimes that stuff, you know, snowballs, like like really badly, like having for Buxton. Uh.

And so I think now he's getting that confidence. He's he's a very important piece to the lineup, to the team. I think that's it, you know, that's why that's why he's starting to come out. And we even knew this would probably happen because he's he was a top prospect for a couple of years. Now it's about time. Then he breaks out, about time and maybe adding guys like Yonder Alonso to the lineup and obviously Elo him and is starting the year in the majors. You know, maybe

that adds like a swag to the White Sox lineup. Yeah, you mentioned confidence and maybe you know, having those guys in the lineup it helps up everybody, you know, just knowing like, Okay, if I get on base, I have a pretty good shot of scoring here because I have a break you Alonso, and be exactly that that he does affect his mentality and now that maybe he's not the youngest guy on the team that you got Eloy as a rookie, So that sometimes helps somebody because when

you're the youngest guy, sometimes you feel a little intimidated. Now he could feel like, you know what, I'm one of the guys as a young guy that me looking to grow in in this lineup, and he's been having his struggles to elloyst striking out a lot. I don't know if you noticed, but like like that's not his m oh, he's not a guy that strikes out in the minus. He didn't much at all. So that's what you know, you would expect him to go through his

growing pains as well. I think Elo him have not as good as a season as we really thought, or it might take a while, may take half the season for him to get used to things. This is what happens with young players. Matthew Boyd shrug out thirteen Yankees yesterday. Yankee struck out, as Venture mentioned, eighteen times total, a lot of five hits, one run, he walked three. Yank's like to strike out and Shane Green likes to get saves. Will not be doing the roar today. But come on,

I did not promise that to you, guys. I can't shank the shape Matthew Boyd. Man. Matthew Boyd leads leads all of baseball and in strikeouts through two games, even more than Max's there anyone else. Matt Boyd has the most strikeouts in baseball. Uh yeah, twenties six swings strikes yesterday. I'll go as far as to say you can stream your pit pictures against the Yankees lineup right now. I mean with with no Miguel, with Noe Miguel and Harts, someone who makes more contact than the rest of the

players in this lineup. Obviously no Stanton, you don't have to worry about that home run threat. I think you could stream some pictures against this Yankees lineup. I mean they are nimic they're not scoring runs, they're striking out a bunch. And Matthew Boyd was awesome yesterday. Ten swinging strikes on his fastball, thirteen on his slider, three on his curveball additionally as well. So normally, if you throw around ninety one, you won't be super effective with your

fastball one. But if you couple that with the fact that you're slider is seven me nine twelve mile per hour difference, and then your curve baball it's around seventy one, another one team difference between your curveball and your fastball, that's how you can make fastball be effect What was his average fast but yesterday nine? Okay, because he maxed

out at ninety three point six. There you go. So because in the spring his velos was dub right, And we know of another guy who got his velo up in the spring a couple of years ago was Charlie Morton. After he did that, he ended up having these last two years, two great years. He became a new pitcher essentially because before that he was not good for the pirates. So I think that that's why I bought into the

boy thing. The velo is up. He had some promise already. Uh, and I thought, you know, maybe the strikeouts would go up as well, because he already had promise with that as well. So I think that you watch off these guys that when the velo goes up in the spring training and then you know they gained confidence and you know they have more power pitches, things can happen all of a sudden. He's he's a big Tom k pitcher. First two stars of the season. We'll see how it

looking last. But that's why I brought into him. Uh, you know, I balu into these these upticks and vlo for these guys that have been around for a while. I leant to see who's facing next week, whether or not we could trust Matthew Board because he's not He's not like must start status yet, Raig, unless you think he is also a strikeout. No, how about this leveland get him in there where it's in Detroit, which is not gonna I mean either if it's in Cleveland or Detroit,

either way, it's probably gonna be cold. He's only owned that number should probably be higher up against Cleveland next Probably who would you put throw him in the mix with? I think, well, we already said for all the overmaker, do do you avoid over pra Alta? That's the question I would you would, especially against the Cleveland Indians. I'm in on board Soga. Did you go per Alta? Okay?

Are you just riding the wave while it's hot, because if your you know that you don't normally think long term, but long term for problem might not even be in the road totally have slutely better. You described it very well before. Boy will be in the rotation long term even short term like against the yeahs So is against bower so, so we'll rank it. For me, I'm going parl to Boy's shoemaker. Well, there's someone else we've gotta

throw in there. We skipped over Jonathan Eliazaga, Carlos Roading, we didn't skip over, and we talked about we talked about him, Yeah, we spoke about him in the first hour. But you excited about Carl's rodand absolutely, you know that's what I worry about. He was at one yesterday. He's been at you know why, because he's facing the Cleveland Indians. There you go comes first, do you face the Indian?

Let's see who rode on faces? Still I want to look at the matchups with these guys, specifically the end of your rotation. Guys, you gotta look at matchups. Yes, no, you're right. So you're gonna have the decipher. You're gonna have your top two or three starters in your rotation. Those are there in your no matter what right, those are your guys. And then you have to mix and match your streamers based on your streamers. But Tampa Bay in his first matchup, he might have two star weeks.

It would be Tampa Bay and the Yankees. At Tampa Bay, you get a lot of strikeouts at home or at Tampa Bay in Chicago. I would have like Tampa Bay better, but there you go. You have roadon at home Chicago against Tampa Bay, going up against Blake Snell, and then at the Yankees later on in the week, two star week. Next week. Oh, I like it against Massa hero Tanaka at the Yankees. I still like it. I don't care to raise in the Yankees. Yeah, I like I like

those matchups. I don't like that he's facing Snell and Tanaka, so you would take him above everyone else with the two star weeks, over over Peralta, over Shoemaker, over that boyd I mean it would take because two starts in a two star week, Yeah, yeah, if he's the only one with two starts, yes, I will stream him over those guys. Yeah, in a weekly league, do you agree with that? Greig start over two weeks or two starts

to reach shirt. It's Tampa Bay and the Yankees. You gotta like the fact six in only two hits, one walk, nine case those you know those numbers right there alone, with no Arren runs. I mean, that's completely solid. That's just as good as anybody else has done so far. Really, and I mentioned I like to strike out to walk ratio. So far with Carlos Sordan, I gotta see the velocity come up. And again, look if I'm gonna discount Freddy Peralta because he only throw two pitches, Arlos On through

two stars has basically only thrown two people. So I've got to see more. I've got to see more of the changeup. He's gotta work on that pitch because I don't know that any starting pitcher can really survive on just two pitches. Maybe Luczy can because one of his two pitches is a slight changing, unique pitch that you have it. It's like it's like a curveball and a

changeup combined. One thing that somebody told me a long time ago that sticks with me for a long forever, really is that the one secondary pitch to the fastball that could make you survive as a starting pitcher is the change If you have a great changeup, you could have just two pitches because the changeup is that good

when you know, it's that effective. So like Luczy who has that change up type pitch, it works really well, so you could survive with two pitch is But you're right, we want to see them a little of these guys, but it's very overwhelming that there's so many back end rotation guys right now, or guys that are you know, on the wave of wires and stuff, that are doing very well right now. There's an over overwhelming amount of guys that you could pick up at this point, there's

just not enough room to pick them up. So you gotta make like a whole list of these guys literally and put it out there for people, because it's it's that many. You have the whole mall and staff, You've got all these guys we talked about. What's crazy is most of these guys, it's been just because of matchups. Shoemaker has faced the Tigers and the Orioles, not good offenses, but he did great in both starts. Doesn't give Hi

up a run yet. Freddy Peralta did it against the Reds yesterday, so okay, that's that's a little bit better. I mean, their offense is off to a terrible The Reds offenses off to a terrible start, so they're cold right now. But you know, Rodan does it against the Indians, and then he faced the Royals in his first start um and then Matthew boy doesn't yesterday again, see Yankees. They're not good right now. So a lot of these guys are just dominating in good matchups, which is good.

That's fine, but that's what they are right now in their matchup plays. I agree with you. For next week, I'd probably take Rodan in the two star week, but I think long term, Matt Boyd might have the highest upside. I like that too. I'm with you. That's why I have Boyd on on one of my longer term teams, like one last known on Boyd. John Beardsley just den me says, the grama is more strikeouts than Matt Boy four Boy twenty three. Welcome. All right, well, most most

strikeouts in the American League. Let's go back, Greg. Let me say we have five minutes ago. So I want to take a look at the lineup s fort today for games that have not started yet, just something interesting before you sit the Yankees and the Orioles. As we mentioned, Johnny vr is leaning off for Baltimore, followed by Daye Smith, Trainman, Seni Ronaldo, Noon, Yez Rio Ruiz, Joey Rickard, Chris Davis, Hayes,

You Sucre and Richie Martin. For the Yankees, A Brett Gardner, Aaron Judge, Luke Boyd, Gary Sanchez, Gregg Byrd, dj Lemhi Labour's Torrez, Clint Fraser, and Tyler Wade. No Mike Talcolman in the lineup personally, because they're going up against Alex Cobb, who Alex Cobb, who was reinstated off the I l So, look, Yankees can't get it done today against Alex Cobb. I don't know what else to say, and I will I

will say it's worth mentioning for the Orioles. White Smith feels like he's been there, He's been in there, regardless of who they're facing right, he left. He doesn't matter. He's batting second every single because he's one of the best hitizen team now and only in fifteen teamers, he should be owned. Four plays every day for the Oakland Athletics facing the left a Ward Rodriguez. Matt Chapman is

not in today's lineup. Matt Chapman's out, first day off for him leading off, it's Robby Grossman, Marcus Simeon, Steve Piscatti fall like Chris Davis, Chad Pinder do On hinder him playing third base today. Six is mar Kanna, Seventh is Euris pro Far Ramanan Loriano in another home run last night, Frank was batting. Josh Fagley is batting ninth. It's two more home runs in Warmer Flora's now Greg And I don't know if you saw Ramon Loriano's throw the other day against the red side. Oh my god,

from perfect from and now Sandre Bogar. It's dealing with an ankle injury. He's a day today. You're dealing with like a praternity leave. Now. I'm pretty sure it's like a foot or ankle. Oh I thought I thought it was just got a kid. That's Tim Anderson. Mr wass Well, Okay, I believed Bogart's ankle. It's expected to return to the line up on Thursday. That I don't have their line up yet, so I guess we'll find out right Um, for Cleveland tonight, the same crap lineup we're used to.

It's all terrible players. At least j Bowers is batting third, at least four, that's all disastrous after that. For the Reds, uh we has told you before. Jesse Wink he's in the lineup. Matt Kemp is not. Winker leads off a Vado puig Au, henny O Suarez, Scotty Chev's, Josie Parraza, techabar Hot, Jose Iglesias. Tyler Molly is on the mound. That's my DFS starting pitcher for the night's late. There's only three games. I like, there's only three games. Jim

sans at Vandel recommends Tyler Molly. Matt Harvey. That's it. That's it. It's bad. The matchups are bad. Matt Harvey again, try to pick up the Rangers right. Normally you want to pick on the Rangers line up last night to beat Garrick Cole would have thought, right, Mike Minor shuts out the Astros and Garret Cole loses. Mike Minor, Yeah, still had I believe nine or ten strikeouts in the

start swing strikes, but no, he better. Yeah, I'm taking a look at Max free tonight and then start against Chicago. I like Max Free coming in. I don't think we pitch very long. It's first outing. Obviously only about any in two thirds. But I'll go back to Freddie Freeman. Quota says he has the best stuff on our team. Wow. Freddie Freeman said that interesting. He's one of these guys, though again he might have nasty stuff. Greg struggles a lot with commands. He's only I don't think he's gonna

be able to go deep into games. Probably wouldn't use him in DFS. Maybe you speculate on him in like deep release for season long, but I don't think that he's gonna be able to go deep into games because that lack of command. I agree, I agree, that's what I'm just. I'm interesting. I'm interested by the way you pot Mac Williamson has clear waivers is going to triple

A for the Giants. Well, that sucks. Greg. Well, we are talking about DFS a little bit at worth, mentioning that tomorrow we will have the BFF two dollar Contest again over on FanDuel M randomly joined the last week.
