Oh no, where's the purple hair? Right? Are you supposed to reveal it? So I'm gonna tell you what she bought me, purple spray tint and everything. And it's like she just didn't do it, Like she didn't want to do the whole project. She bailed on me. What did you do instead? Man?

She was like, I don't know, online looking up shopping places to go for our wedding. Nice, and she's more important, I guess. Yeah, So she was looking at that stuff and that's nice, purple hair. It's a little bit more important to me. Him going to Fiji laying, he was pretty pumped about. Then, what famous golfer is from Fiji? He's American? Yeah, he's I don't know. I don't know. I don't know answers Louis US days, No LOUISUS days in South Africa. He's not a golf like the only

two that I know. He's not a golf from today. He's a golfer from like to the Tigers, heyday. I'd say the Tigers big rivals for a little while. No clue, Alex, do you know, I don't know that'd be a hard nor now, Okay, does anybody know down there? My answer, you think John Daly is from from Fiji? Bryan, you think John Phil Nicholson's from Fiji. It is a name that I know. Jesus Christ, we're going to amateurs here now. The name that we're looking for is VJ. Singh J

from Fiji. Wow, good old VJ. That's rare. Is there's not that many people who feed you. I don't think true story. I've been to feed you. Yeah, nice place which there's a lot of islands. I don't know. Greg has been all around the world. I tried the Adventures of Greg Sessmen. Yeah. No, that's a good place to go. That's why I was picking you that old galopicos never been there. Yea South American island. It's the coast of Peru. Yeah. One of those things are looking up for you. When

when are you going? Next year? Next year? So we're trying to get a good price, makes sense. I was. I screwed this up being of flights, looking at flights for my bachelor party in Fort Lauderdale. They've all gone up. This is a disaster. I thought cheap, there's raining for them to go down, and instead of going down, they went up. Uh, that's not working out well for you. Sorry, it's very bad. That's it. You gotta try earlier. So I was earlier. It was fine, So it was really mad.

The week before I made a decision place where that's great, perfect, very happy round trip. Yeah, two hucks round trip, it's perfect. A week later, they're up to forty four. I'm like, this is a joke. Well you've been to do it now before they go up again. So then I waited and they were on to sixty six and like, this is stupid. Now the flights are empty because I'm literally looking at the seats on the flights that I want and they're empty. Empty, keep going trolling, you keep going up.

Now they're up to two eight, and what is happening? I'm pissed. Now you might as well wait longer? Could you go back down? That's what I'm I don't know. I can't wait till it's three bills and then it's gonna sit here. What's happening? Three hundred Dollarsdale saved a couple of hundred because you're talking about two tickets. That's true. Yeah, it's oh, you're gonna buy party, Okay. I didn't hear the bachelor party. Yeah, all right's baseball. How'd your How

was your baseball weekend? Good? Yeah? Good? You know my boy went off ja yeah next week right when I drop getting hot, get drop Josh Bill. Yeah, he was getting intense to pick up till in pit league. Yeah, someone pick him up, it goes, I'm looking at the wrong league. I don't know. Well, I think that I think of Dandy, and I think of Dandy Andy. That's a good pick up. We should talk about Yandy d as a lot of people excited about him. A few people were asking us about Yandy DZ and the chapel

and just look at Josh Yeah, big timer. I was listening and watching this who actually had to uh and him a little SmackDown last week? Actually second place team right here, it looks like I do know how to play in category leagues. After first, I mean, I'm in second. But regarding Yandy ds Greg, one of the first things that I told you today when I came in was Yandy's lifting the ball more. And that's exactly what we needed to see. Guy who always had a lot of power.

He's built like a football player. He's jack out of his mind you see some of his off season workout stuff like the guy's huge look. He's like he's Sespedous esque and in terms of how big is and you know, coming into the year, he has a twenty two percent fly ball rate this year, small sample size again, thirty eight late appearances, but a thirty three percent fly ball rate, so one third of the time that he's making contact, he's putting it in the air, and he's hitting the

ball extremely hard to start the year. So you're seeing that reflected in his stats. Every three batting average seems again its pretty good plays discipline too, greg because he's walking thirteen percent at a time, making a ton of contact, he's striking out only eight percent at a time. He's hitting three hundred and against leftist he's leading off, and against right he's still in the middle of the lineup.

So what's not to like about Yandy Diaz? And I don't know if I would have dropped Josh Bell for him, because I see the appeal with Bell, and you know, he's been hot already to start the year, and mind you, that's in Pittsburgh all the weather. You know, the weather has warmed up a little bit. But for the most part, it's still been I don't know if it would have

done that. I would like to add Yandy Diaz. I don't know if it would have dropped Josh Bell, but if he's out there, even in your twelve team leagues, I I would try and get your dash and I made a call and I did it. Ye both. I thought could potentially be really good this year, so it might not be a bad move for you. Right personally made it, But I would like to try and add y d As if I can. Yeah, definitely. The only thing I see issue with Yandy in ESPN leagues he's

a d H only, which is kind of annoying. Really, Yeah, that should change, right, It's interesting if he gets ten games in the outfield, his eligibility should change. Yeah, you think that's Let's see on the year, he has three games at first base and he's already got six at third, So in my league it's only only five games, So okay, he has third, and it looks like he should he's very quickly. You're gonna get first base eligibility as well because he gains left handed pitching and I'm gonna play

g Manchoi and they play Yandy Das. While we're on the topic of conversation of the Rays. Remember I kept telling you guys before the season, Nate low remember the name Nathaniel Lowe. If he's available in your lead, this is a deeper play and al only brand. Maybe you're right, but he had his second home run ready, and I have a feeling that the Rays didn't have him break camp just because they want to get the extra service

time out of him, and they could have. You know, it's easier for them to sell that because you know they like g Man choice. But it's like, I don't know how long Man Choi is gonna last. You know, the starting first baseman gets right handed pitching. But this guy, Nate low last yeas year for the race in the minor leagues between Double A and Triple A and High A. He so he progressed from High eight to Triple A

in one minor league season. It's twenty seven home runs with a hundred and two art guys, three thirty batting average p s. He's already off to a good start. I think it won't be long before Nate Low is in the major leagues for the Tampa Bay Race. Years old, You're gonna have a sick lineup man, Tommy Fan, Yandy Diaz, Austin's Nate Low Ran Low they got, they got a little sneaky line up man. I like Tampa Bay, remember

the name. I'm just telling you that I'm in on Yandy for sure, though Yandy is definitely a good one. Did you make any bids over the weekend venture? Um? Up? Would I pick up? I picked up Frankie Mantas a lot, of course, even with the astro start, the astro start I watched actually uh and he was good. It was just that that line up is good. Uh. Al TV scored. They scored the first round. Often when al TV check swinged and hit the infield single was short in the hole, like,

come on, it wasn't a good hit. And then you know Bregman had a nice hit and then he gave up another run. He wasn't that bad. He got into trouble and got out of it. Um. He still had a strikeout for any against the five strikeouts in five innings, and he had six strikeouts in six innings in his first start. Yeah, a strikeout for penning from on top right and the second start, honestly, impressed me more because of the lineup and because of the tough situations, even

in basic loaded situations. I also picked up Christian Walker in one place, Clint Frasier for for a daily league. For the meantime. Who you've been dropping anyone of note? Um lords, Gorrielle, I think it's fair. Yeah, he's one of the most dropped players in CBS. Makes sense, Yeah, I'm dropping him. Um, I had Tyler White. I didn't really want him, but I had him for a while, and now I dropped him. Okay, okay with that too,

in the right situation. Yeah, yours nobody else really? Oh, Luke Weaver, I dropped That's who I dropped to pick up Frankie Montas in one league. I'm dropping Weaving and I'm dropping Strong, dropping Weaver and Strong. So I'm glad you bring up Weaver and Stroup. Strong one of the most dropped players as well, So I think it's fair. I think it's fair to bring him up. So we were will start there because the first one you mentioned two starts, two dots of great stars. His last one

a little bit better. Three runs, five hits over five innings against the Red Sox and a tough matchup this week home against San Diego, who you know better than the used to be not a bad matchup, but I don't think at home with the even do it right? No, it's just a man. Yeah, I agree that. I agree. Shrug at three in his first down and struck out four in his second. Okay, okay, dropping And it's only two starts, which is a very small sample size. Seven were kay to walk ratio? Like how many weeks I

would like to hold onto him? The skills don't look good as of right now. That's what is really small. But seven percent swinging strike rate, first pitch strike percentage percent chase rate, so people aren't chasing his pitches, which is leading to the walks. As you mentioned, Greg, he only has seven strike as he has four walks in nine and a third endings pitched. Would you say you dropped him for one league mantas, Yeah, I would have.

I would have made that move to I also picked up that I had him in a lot of leagues because I want to believe that we was, you know, the prospect. We thought he was right, but it doesn't look. One thing that really bothers me about him is that he's not going deep into games either, and I need I like to have guys that could at least, you know, pitching five six cent you get me quality start um.

And I also picked up a turn bull your boy against the Indians, though well, I mean, I'm picking I don't know if I'm plugging him in right away, but if you're picking him up, you gotta plug him unless you have like five superstar pitchers. Because against the any it just doesn't get better than that. Why they're playing right now again, they lead baseball in strikeouts right now, and that's a turnable coming off a start. We had ten strikeouts against the Royals, a team that typically makes

a lot of contact. So I think that there's a lot to like. They're just getting back to Luke Weaver. I'm looking into him a little bit more. Greg. Remember the reason why we liked him was because we read an article on the Athletic that's saying that he was working on a curveball. About this, he's storing his curveball less is here than he was last year eight percent of the time and last year was twelve percent of the time. I don't love that. And the command hasn't

been good. Yeah, Like I'm al right dropping for these guys that we're talking about, Turnbull, even Zimmerman on a two start week. You know, if people seem to be split on Zimmerman, I think a lot of people have been burned by him, so they don't really want to buy back in the Jordan Zimmerman. And I can't knock you like if that's the reason. If you've been burned by Jordan Zimmerman and you just don't want to pick

him up, I'm fine with that. Me personally, I haven't been burned by him, so I actually do like him for this two start a week again against the Indians and against the Minnesota Twins. Don't love the Twins start. But he is doing things differently with his arsenal. He's throwing his breaking pitches more. He's throwing his fastball less. It's additioned by subtraction. It's fastball has been one of the worst pitches in baseball over the past couple of years.

So I like I like those like those Tigers guys over over Weaver, I would I would make that well. The only thing with me is with demand is that uh and I discussed this with Steve the other day. Also I was like, I think, like he's had two or three years now where he's been pretty much bad, terrible, terrible. I wrote about this on my Patreon over the past. Since he during the Tigers, he has the second highest era A among all starting pitchers, behind only James Shields

is the A over five. So he's not been good exactly, and then I can't defend that. And we're not talking one year, we're talking a few years now. Uh, he's not the same guy he was. I don't think there's a resurgent season coming back for him this year just because he had two good sults so far. That's my thing.

I'm not buying into it yet. And I think it's okay that I don't pick him up because I feel like if someone does pick him up, pick him up with the two stocks and then drop him so I could always get him again if I decide I want him later on. I'm just not sold on him yet. I'm not sold on on him being this good yet. That's fair, that's fair. And he's gone through stretches in the past few years where he looks like he's good

and then he just smucks down again. So I think as long as he's throwing that fastball last and throwing a slider and curveball. More and more apt to buy in on Jordan's immiman. I'm not saying he's gonna be great, but I just really like streaming against Cleveland Indians right now. Greg, someone who does have a tough matchup this week. Is there something else you wanted to get into it, Weaver? I want to hit strang because you meant you mentioned strong ventro and you bound that first down in two

and two thirds he was. He was horrible last and against Cardinals five innings, two rounds, only one of them were earned. It was basically all unun for his fault anyway, but only with five in he only struck out two guys. And A's why people are jumping off board, Frank, how come strikeouts are down right now? From Matt stram I

how people were excited? It's the velocity. You look at the velocity right now, and in years past, I know he was used more as a reliever, and you know, maybe your velocity takes down a little bit when you get put back in the rotation. But the past couple of years he's been around fastball. Greg. This year is fastball sitting at ninety one point three miles per hour on average, so the VLO is down. The slider vlo is also down last year's eighties seven miles per hour.

This year it's down to eighty four. Again. This might be because he's back in the rotation, so can he can he amp it up? Kenny throw as hard as he wants to, When normally in a relief appearance you can kind of go all out because you're only going one or two innings. He probably just can't get the velo that high if he wants to sustain going five

or six innings pitched. So I think that's why you're seeing, uh the lack of strikeouts here from Matt Trump And so that coupled with the fact that he's not really going deep into games either right so far, and I think that's gonna be a problem most season for him because he is coming from the bullpen. So I'm not trusting that this is the back end of my rotation fantasy type of guy. So I'm okay with dropping him and picking up a guy like Frankie Mantas or these

other guys. Talk about Spencer Turnbull, I wouldn't I would have done that as well. I don't want to completely give up. I don't want to team leagues like maybe I would try and hold on again. I like Mantas, I like Turnbull, so I probably would have done it for those guys, but anyone else that's just like a fringe e like I'm not don't hold on to Strom for now? Would you drop drop Strom for Nick marka Vicious? Not even kidding? No, I wouldn't. Okay, Yeah, I think

Stram has higher upside and and Strong and Weaver. They actually face each other this week, so how about that? Yeah that's funny. You guys were all Arizona against Luke. What have I told you that Nick marka Vicious? Mrs No, he misses St. Louis and he places in San Francisco, which is great. You really just need to start or I'm not thinking. I'm just I'm just asking. It's just like stashing for upside, I'm planning in San Francisco. I still think that Strong has more upside than market Vicious.

You just need to start this week then, yeah, I would rather stream against the Giants and at Arizona the Vicious, right. I want to I want to ask you about Jack Flowery when we come back faces the Dodgers. Yeah, let's do it. What's up at Jack Flowerday? Moore On the other side, nick a Vicious.

you catch any WrestleMania Adventure. Uh not very much. No, I did not. How was it? I know coffee coffee coffee did his thing, he got the belt just kofef Mania. It's kofee coffee. I don't know, coffee coffee, kofe Mania. Finally it's the strap greggyment moment to night match. The night it was it was beautiful. What a terrible ending too. It's like so much potential with the women's match and ends on a box. I don't That wasn't supposed to happen, right,

It was not the box. Obviously it was supposed to end that pin was supposed to end. There was what was the box. It's so basically Rhonda Rousy had Becky on her shoulders for a move and Becky reversed it to like a pinning combination hitting Rhonda rousing. So that was supposed to be the end of the match one, two three, and it was the problem was when the red kind of one, Rhonda shoulders were just she was basically sitting up, so her shoulders, shoulders weren't on the match.

So then they did the two three when her shoulders were on the map, and it was controversial. It was controversial when it wasn't. I don't know if it was supposed to be. How do you know for sure that was supposed to be the ending? Forever they are bread? Well, what about the tweet that floral sentence? Yeah he's not. Sean Ross was good, sap, He's good, but not as in the know as some other people. I believe I trust more. All right, Well, it was still crap regardless,

that's very bad. Could and a lot of people like the results of the matches. They like who won at WrestleMania, Like, oh my god, we had Rawlins, Kofy and Becky Lynch all went on the same car, and wow, this is one of the greatest WrestleMania's matches were bad. The Kope match was great. The Kope match was great. MS vers sane I seem like mixed reactions. I actually kind of

liked it, Like the spots were really cool. It was a lost count anywhere, so they did something like pretty like around the State Adium Triple Asian Batista again actually did some cool stuff, but like, way too long on the match for these old guys. Yeah they're too old. Yeah, and um like Seth Rollins was cool or in versus AJ Styles was cool, but like none of the matches. They were fine, but they didn't like stand out the show.

I went to New Japan Saturday night at MSG and that was amazing, dude, Like the matches were awesome, and Friday n XC the matches were awesome as well. It's just like I don't even know how WrestleMania follows up after a weekend of that type of action. Greg's problem so bad. It's still like they still very much so appeal to just like the entertainment side of things, and like I guess pleasing kids more so, what I want to see is this really good wrestling matches, And yeah,

they just really weren't. How long are these like, because I like the long matches, Like the best match that comes to mind to me is Sean Michael's verse Bread Hart in that Iron Iron was one of the best matches ever him like that, Like I love those type of matches. They need to be a little longer, I feel.

And the card was so like so stacked so many matches that towards the end they had to rush everything, so like you know, these guys only got like seven eight minutes like finn ballor match was like less than ten minutes long, yea, and like it could have been better than that. Um, I think Kofe and Daniel Bryan probably had the most time, right, I think Triple H and Batist that the most time. Probably true, but it was close. But like the Kofe and Daniel Bryan, they

had enough time and it was perfect minutes. But actually I actually thought Brian was going to kick out of the trouble in Paradise and we keep going a little bit longer. But I was okay that he didn't. Yeah, like when when't underwhelming for me? Greg? When Kofe kicked out of the knee and that was cool. Yep, that was awesome because the knee, I don't know what anyone's kicked out of a bit, so it's awesome. Yeah. The a j Orton match underwhelmed too. I remember we said Friday,

we thought that could see the show. It didn't. It didn't. I would like to see the Shanel mac Oh. You should check out the bump that he did. I feel like he's the best, like getting thrown through tables and stuff like. Yeah, so they so they went like a scaffolding and he got superlexed off that was cool. Yeah, like landing on the sting and they both go through it. But what happened was because of the way they landed, shiman Man actually landed on top of the miss so

we won the matched. That's how he won the match. I called I called it. I wish I bet on that. Yeah, you had, right, you had, SHANEO mac as, you're upset of the night. What did I have? I think I had the iconics. Yeah, both of our both of our upsets. Well that college really second favorite, we said, right, yeah, yeah, yeah it was the girls. Was there something else? Was there another upset that happened with us? Right? I don't. I don't think so, because Brock Kofe and Rock Kofe

and Becky all won Alkins a rider. But I don't know if the betting odds are are on that. Well, I would think KOFEE winning is kofe Kofe Kofee winning is an upset? No, because other story was headed Yeah yeah it was anything I mean And good point from Perry here in the chat says everyone knew KOFE was gonna win as they were least the cow W Championship t shirt. Halfway through the match, I guess that must

have happened on like w W dot com. But you said you knew because they came out with a present beforehand, and I knew based on the video package beforehand, like this is his dream and like to me, they're appealing to kids, like they're not gonna like try and shoot down like a kid's dream. To me, they brought out a present and they showed a podium that was covered with something. What could the compodium be covered with other than the title? So they ruined that. Yeah, they got

they need new writers for the stories. They just need better presentation the writers. I'm better actors maybe, Greg. I asked you before the break Jack Flaherty, who faces the Dodgers this week. And the Dodgers are amazing what they've done so far this year. I mean, their lineup has been great. They are second in baseball with eighty four

run scored. They actually had the highest team ops. Cody Boinger has just been phenomenal with their whole you're doing an event, by the way, what please do in the main event. I think I'm in the third or fourth in my league. I don't know about the overall. I'm about overall yet about third or fourth year league. Okay, yeah, and thenn um, well, okay, I don't have Jack Flaberty in the main event, team, Greg, I was just asking about Jack Flaherty because I have Cody Bellinger in the

main event. That's why you mentioned Bellinger. Going on, why I asked you? But regarding Flaherty, did you bench him against the Dodgers this week? Gig, he's at home? No, you're just leaving him in? All right, Well it was very very quick answer. All right, venture, how about you for who? How about Yanni Tournos Toronto Blue Jays? You do that, it's getting cute. Well, I'm going to tell you something that I'm about that I'm probably gonna do. I'm doing a similar thing, and you tell me if

I should do this. I'm benching Zach Wheeler for uh Matt Boyd. Boyd at home against Cleveland would do it. So it's funny to me. It's kind of similar. Ob Jack correct, it's different because Jack Flaherty get blown up in his first start seven walks. Well, he allowed four earned runs. Okay, four runs, four earned runs, very very different in my opinion, or runs he had a It was a three run bombs and Braun and then one other run. All right, he walked nobody in that start, yes,

struck out four. Okay. In the next start he allowed no runs. He struck out six. Does he walk anybody? Had two walks? Not bad though. It's a good st stop at all, at at all to me. Jack Flaherty's pitched well enough that you drafted him to be RSP two. But it's either him or ty Own. Those are my seconds, whatever you're saying. The third starters, tyn Up going to dagainst Cubs and and Jack Flawery second start against at Cubs at Washington. So it's not great damn Um and Flaherty.

I I don't want to so I know how hot the Dodgers has been. Flowerty at home where you drafted him. Not but I care so much about that. He wasn't He hasn't gotten blown off that we're at the point where you bend him. It's not in cores either, right, you know it's actually at home in St. Louis, which is good, Which is fine. Well, bend Jack Flowery for as well as streaming, I understand. I think that's getting a little bit cute. The Zach Wheeler thing. The Zach

Wheeler thing. I think it's legit. Frank and I have him. So Frank and I had this argument with Floria this morning. You're just joining us. We wanted to bench Zack Wheeler for Spencer Turnbull. I know I heard you. Yeah, Modica said for turn About. Yes. No, he said no, He's like, you can't do that. I thought he said Montas No, okay,

he said, you can't do it for Zach Wheeler. If I'm you, hell yeah, boyd who has been one of the hottest and can a ton of people that doesn't bother me nearly as much as that one will bother Yeah, I would start Flowerty. I think I think Greg sold me on that I would start. Frank, I still have him on the bench for Yannis right there, we got time, right, yeah, I have about thirty minutes, forty minutes. Wait, all the whole one blocks, the whole thing locks. ESPN changed to

where only the game. That's how it should be. Absolutely much. Lawyers who are playing in the early game should be locked, and everything else exactly. You have so much other news things that come out, like what if David Dolls back in the lineup and you want to throw him in there. Yeah, well that's right. Now, that's a good segway to what do you do with David doll if you're in a weekly league and you gotta plug in where bench from from rymel Tapia, which might end up being a terrible decision,

but I have to make my decision before. So as of right now, what I know is he's dealing with no bleak. But you haven't seen anything else regarding David Doll so and he has a history of oblique injuries. I'm kind of worried about it. Yeah, no, I know, and especially if you know weekly, if if this guy misses a C series, I kill That'll kill you. That'll kill you. You don't want that totally. I would have to start Byron Buckston in his place. That's my that's

my thing. I don't know. You gotta Starbucks. I think it's safe. It's only played five games this week and the Rockies play seven, but Doll they have zero. Yeah, what about Tim Beckham? Is he gonna play? Why wouldn't he hurt her last night? Day to day Beckham got hurt? Yeah, I don't even see that one. Yeah, it's Beckham got hurt. Left the game last night. It could be a problem, that could be an issue, and he's been. He's been

for real, So it's dollar dollar is Beckham's injury? Beckham it was a quad, I'll tell you right now, dealing with somebody's game against the White Sox now too though in that game, and it says the severity of the injury remains unclear. There you go, everything's unclear answers. I got a good question regarding before the show started. Okay, so the Reds only played five games this week, and there's a chance that yell Peet hit with a suspension

based on the benches clearing incident yesterday. So what do you do with so again, it matters like who for right, Like, I don't think you can answer that. Would you mention him for a seven game j Bruce? Yes, for a seven game boom boom man seen because those those my realistic options. Yea, yeah, totally fairly. Gotta figure he's going to be suspended at least a couple of games, right, which he'll appeal. You don't think so, I think he

make it one. I think he didn't punch a guy out right, he took a swing, context, I don't think so. Yeah much like he's done in baseball this year. Took a swing and didn't make it. An there's the other issue. He hasn't been so that's another thing. Yeah, to answer the fire. Look, normally, if there was no suspension looming, I would just leave Peak in my lineup because we all have averages like he's gonna get that. What that

says you're gonna get? Don't just don't bench him? You know, miss again, if you worry about the suspension, especially if I play in the Points League, I need volume any guys that are gonna play right, so you know j Bruce seven games, traight Man seen seven games, Alex Gordon seven games as opposed to pos playing only three four This peek peek venture woe is the one that's yeah, coffee kings. It could be pronounced a lot of different things.

We don't have to talk about coffee kingson much. That's right, coffee and probably coffee like coffee. Probably most people do. I don't. I don't either, I don't. How do you say coffee? Coffee cofie cofiefie, p w e e g venturo Okay, right, I can't even spill out coffee because it's just it just can't out fine, I throws f f. I alright, that'd be coffee. Yeah, that's what I was. It was okay, alright, CoFe. There you go, Cofie. And who's feeling on the Reds book? He gave us the

pooty big Pig a week. I mean, come on, it's so it's close close, Uh, Frank, I think it's a really fair question. Um. I think if I played the band Boom Boom, I would I would bench Pleak for some of these seven game opens. I would too, just because of the safety of knowing that he's gonna play and stuff. And J Bruce has been hot. I like that one too. I'd plug Jay Bruce right in. Jay Bruce has been hot. He didn't play us. You know who else is hot in the Mariners. The entire Mariners

lineup has been awesome. But vogel Bach, what do you guys make of Dan vogel back here, who's been red hot? But where is he gonna play? That's the problem because they have Bruce and they have an't Karinacione, so first base in DH is kind of locked up. They can't use J. Bruce in the outfield. But that hurts their outfield defense. Then he's gonna rotate. He's gonna rotated. And now, yeah, so does that affect Incarnacio and Bruce, Like maybe Bruce has seven games, but is he gonna play every day

at least five? Yeah? I think he's probably basic at least six. And it's vogo Box is a lefty two. So it's not like they get have to say, all right, well, bench j Bruce against lefties because vogo Box is a lefty as well, typically has struggled against him. I'm not buying, but he's been awesome man, even like people who have been expecting him to be good for a long time. Now, Guys,

I remember Box. I mean three multi hit games in a row, but he's played one, he sat out one, he's played when he sat out one, and then he played yesterday. But he has four home runs in his last three games play. He's six RBIs yesterday. The way that this matter's line up is playing. Any interest in Dan voge Box, Yeah, vogo Box just got picked up in deeper daily transactionsly like I could see it because because you can just plug him in when he's gonna play. I want to say he got picked in my Holy

I think, which is daily tens. Actually he did. Yeah, well, Bok has just been scorching hot. Um. I don't love that he hits seventh eighth in the lineup on most nights. It doesn't matter when your lineup is as good as the Marriagers, right when you're hitting home run every day. Also, it also doesn't matter, honestly, but I think in the daily transaction league, as long as you have another first basement to put in there when he's not going to play,

I'll do with it. I don't want I don't want to just have to throw him in there and set and forget. Yeah, you don't want him obviously, you're not picking him up in a weekly league and in the shallow twelve team league only. I mean he should be owned, Yes, deeply. A few people were aggressive on him last night. Me personally, I wasn't just because I frankly, I can't worry about

the playing time. Maybe later on in the year, if it turns out that the Mariners revert back to being the Mariners and they you know, trade away guys like Incarnacione and and and J Bruston, Yeah he's gonna play every day at that point. Sure, Like I'll love him if he plays every day, but I don't think it's gonna happen right now. It's not only that too, it's that you know, we're definitely buying this or is just

him just being hot right now? You know, we know Voge has been around for a while, He's got his opportunities before. He's done well with opportunity, had an opportunity to play every day, not every but he's been he has played in this He had a lineup you know, in the past, and had streaks where he's been hot and played a lot, and then he's also gotten really cold. This is a Nando guy too, right, Absolutely, seventh career hitter in the miners, seventy nine career ops. Like, he's

a good player in the minors. Last year twenty homers, year before that seventeen, the year before that twenty three walks a lot to He's basically a carbon copy of Kyle Schwarber. Total. He actually is in the American League where they have the d h correct so you know, people were actually drafting Schwarber as their what fourth fifth outfielder. No one's drafting Dan Vogel Box. Swarber doesn't play against lefties.

He only plays against right He's I mean he could, like I think their value is actually, you know, pretty close to being similar. Yeah, I mean I agree. I think you should be picked up in deeper leagues, but like in shallow leagues and stuff like that. Weekly not yet, yeah, like I have. I haven't even thought about adding him in any of Like home, We're gonna go over some weekend stuff. Um when we came back.

now over Rhado Experience dot Com. All right, I said going to break that. One of the guys I wanted to bring up was my man Frankie zack Eflyn, who was pitched twelve innings. He's a lout of one run that was a leadoff home run Adam Fraser. I believe maybe We didn't make that up, No, it was. It's in Minnesota, so that's that's not possible. Kel Kepler was the Kepler at home rightly Keler Max Kepler. It's a

home run. Other than that, Elin has been a fantastic fourteen strikeouts through twelve innings in his first two starts. Right we were high on Ethlyn coming into the year. Is what he's doing ant sa sustainable because it's not, but Okny, keep it going. Yeah, I'm excited about zak eflyn Um. I really like the fourteen of one strikeout to walk ratio. Obviously, the swinging strike. Swinging strikes are

up this year. He's up at eleven percent the first pitch strike percentage Greg so working ahead of the count a lot of the time is zach eflin first pitch strike percentage. So he's pounding the strike zone early, maybe when hitters aren't expecting it, and he's getting hitters to chase pitches outside the strike zone at a little bit above league average rate. So Yeah, I'm excited about zach eflyn Uh. I would keep him in the lineup based on what he's done. I'd really like to strike out

to walk race. I'm excited about him. He's in Miami, first start this week, so he deserves me quite obviously. Um, I know we didn't necessarily expect him to seek this kind of stuff forward, being as dominant as he is, but Ethlyn Chris also a great start. Do you think he can keep it going? Yeah, yeah, I'm buying it. I think he's up there with those top guys, like I said before Montas and stuff, maybe even ahead of those guys pick ups because some leagues, shallow leagues. He's available,

um when I don't think he should be. I think at this point this is a guy you should definitely pick up and putting in rotation and hold for a little while, see what he does. And I think he can keep it going and obviously not at this crazy of a rate, but like you know, he'll be a solid picture throughout the season. I think it could be consistent as well. Um, the better option than a lot that's out there right now that might be doing well.

Like I don't know about this guy Thornton, uh, Trent Thornton, like he's doing well now. I'm not buying it though, Like I would much rather have the other guys we spoke of a couple other guys that I've been picking up, and that I like Jorgel Faro catching option. If you have a catcher like Danny Jansen who hasn't been doing anything, I think that's a good replacement. A far has been ripping it too homes the other day, and uh, the Mingo Harman, I think the Mingo Han deserves to be

picked up in most leagues at this point. You guys agree harmon it into the six yesterday and again it was against the Oreos, so you take it with a grain of salt. But look, he has nasty stuff. He's just gotta uh work on limiting the walks. He saw that in his first start against the Tigers he had five walks with him yesterday only had two walks. But he also only had three strikeouts. So I kind of a mixed bag from Domingo Herman yesterday. But he definitely

does have some filthy pitches. Just hope that the Yankees allow him to go this deep into games, at least six, so that we can get quality starts of him. Right we talked previously so deep they don't really need him

to go that far into the game. We talked previously about Domingah Harman and how long he'll stay in the rotation for se hes about the he's expected back uh this weekend and actually, um, her mom's I believe on her mom's turn, but her mom the way he's pitched will not leave this rotation be Yeah, he's gonna get wise is the one that's gonna go back. Yeah, I agree with that. It's just to night for the Yankees. I think even just tonight, think so and Domingh Haman

this week faces the White Side. So I like that start. I thought they I think they flip floffed them. I think the night's okay. I think I think I think um, but yeah, so for those that want to take that shot on Herman Luis every years, like I'm back front of them months. Yeah, like you're talking middle middle nay pitching tonight. Maybe they filil on that way. Maybe maybe they flipped on them that way. I supposedly whatever, Well verlanda tonight soaka tomorrow is tomorrow. So they flipped on

them that way. Okay, So so there you go to not gonna night other wise gonnamorrow, both guys, Um, we'll be pitching early this week. Hermon will be in that rotation going forward, because Luisa rain was coming back eight times in think Kershaw is, by the way, which we have to mention, Kershaw making expected to start potentially next weekend for the Dodgers. That's how quickly he's coming back.

It's happy making rehab start tomorrow tomorrow in double A, so you know, maybe he makes one more rehab started. For that, we could put him on track four, not this upcoming week's weekend, but the next one, so we'll see what happens. Is right, who's the who gets the first boot from the from the Dodgers rotation? My first instinct, my first inclination to answer to the for you stripling, I think it's Hulio. You're as man. I'll say that, Greg, even though you might be right. Yeah, I just don't

say it. You're probably right. They've been very honest about wanting the limited the innings for him. We saw last night he only went three and two thirds game, up three runs on four hits, obviously with five things at the first time against San Francisco, for sure. Not disagreeing. I'm just I'm trying to find every way to defend the gay right. I don't want him to go No, No,

I don't think anybody does. That's my instinct. You're probably right, though, ye a limit because in limit right, I wanted to be careful, but he couldn't bounce back and forth. What happens. I'm not a dropping I'm not cutting him. But you know I was answering the question speaking of someone getting demoted or leaving a rotation. He wasn't in the rotation, but he got demoted. Alex Reys, Yeah, dropping out x Rays Craig, I am, I am, I you know what? You can stab on him to see if even team leagues,

I am, I am. You're taking a stamp on him, or took a stamp on him rather to see if you become this year's Josh, are potentially right through both the linings and you fall into the closer's role. There didn't happen. Run run, run run. And the worst part is that option triple A and they're keeping him as a reliever, the option triple to stretch him out. I'm holding on. I'm interesting, but because they're not stretching him out that he's wanted to get used to pitching consistently

as a reliever. Yeah, you know, if he becomes a closer a couple of months to pick him back up. Obviously he has the name value, the name recognition, obviously has the talent. I don't think you'd be hold on and you don't have a roster about to hold onto him right now. I don't think I agree. And even if you do drop him, no one's gonna pick him up right now, so you have the option to pick him up later. So that's fine. It's fine to drop him. What about Sir Anthony Dominguez? What with this? Heck the

nearest nonsense? Now I'm I'm still holding this guy. Yeah, in its twelve points league, Yeah, that you playing, I probably would not own uh, Sorr Anthony. That's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking, maybe it's abou time I dropped. In any type of Rhodo league where you need saves, I would hold him just because you don't know what's gonna happen. So again, in Rhodo, I would hold on to Dominguez um even in head ted categories, if saves as a category or holds, I would hold on to him there.

In your in the points league, headside points league, I think Sir Anthony Dominguez is probably droppable. Yeah, I think so too. Well in Quinn, Yahoo's owned right now. Yeah, that makes see. The thing is there's a lot of upside and that's why people want to hold him. Um, I get it. But he's been in shell lately. Sheld and uh. My other issue is that well wanted to early. Maybe he could work that out because we've seen Felipe A. Vasquez last year get sheld early on and turned things

around significantly, right, maybe he could do the same. The other thing is that I don't have on this particulars he My only other closer is um Michael Gibons. No. I got rid of him. Um what's his name? Your boy on Detroit. I spent the nine dollars to get him because I had no closes. I had to do it available. There's no closest. I got a elbow. He's red hot man. Yeah, it's first and seven the seven games seven, Right, he's already given us seven return on investment.

One second. That it's a great and that's why as a reliever in your league, though, there's nobody that could get sad, nobody, not even he Swarzak. Is he available? Like I'd rather find him than Domingo is in the Points League. That's see, that's my my problem is do I drop the talent of Domingo got a better team with the Phillies. But there's three guys there now, Tambertson and Hector Nerris. I'm not worried about Robertson as much. I feel like he's also you know, not that good anymore.

He's old and he's not the same picture. He must be really good with the Yankees the past couple of years, I mean, but the Walks are in a big issue with something never an issue really for him before. I feel like, um, it's it's nearest that that bothers me. Now there's a third guy in the mix that bothers absolutely. So I don't know. Maybe I'll drop I'll drop him, but like I might wait a week. I just want

to see what happens this week. I'm kind of still I still like the guy, you know, I still think he could be the closing And again that's only in points leaves like anywhere where saves or holds or league. I'm still holding onto Dominguas for sure. But the heads ad Points League, how many relievers do you start? Just too you could start as many as you want. In my leagues, it's normally you have to start two closers.

Probably not owning him there. How about Ryan McMahon, Guys, I think a lot of people might have this question, especially in deeper leagues. What do I do with Ryan? So it's funny. So so I tell you I actually have Patrick Saunders Twitter up for just like the latest information on all these Rockies guys to try to get try to get it in. Uh McMahon hyper extended that elbow. Um, you know, is it some of these back in ten days? Maybe he Garrett Hamson run away with his job in

ten days. Maybe he's got a shot here. He's got seven games straight this week, seven games, he's got it off. He's gonna have an opportunity thre three games in Coors Field. You gotta play it every day? Right? They're not gonna mess around? Are they probably have a choice? Yeah? I think what they played like it? Why do they hate Garrett Hampson bang up and the athlete? Yeah, that's why I think with David dal banged up, what all these

guys banged up? I do think that Hampson's with seven games this week, he probably plays at least five at least at least Yeah, he's gonna get his opportunity. Now, that's the thing. I don't know if you want to plug him in in your weekly lineup, I doubt you know, it depends on what you got. I have that similar situation where I have a you know, like a Tim Beckham who's banged up. Do I plug him in for

you know Beckham? I don't know. It's a situation because he's been so cold and Kane a lot bang a lot. I don't like that. That bothers me. Regarding Ryan Greg I asked, because he's the most drop player in Yahoo of all players available, and just surprises me like dropped in over like five thousand leagues right now. I would firstly, I would probably try and hold Ryan McMahon. McMahon's owned in just thirty three of Yahoo leagues because it's Rocky's exposure.

Remember I picked up We had the conversation last last Wednesday or Thursday, that who do I pick up Ryan McMahon or trade man, and seeing I'm gonna pick up which ever one gets hit today got lucky? So people one of the Rockies exposure. He has more strikeouts than total bases. This year's Ryan McMahon. I don't want to wait yep and look another another very highly dropped player, Jock Peterson. We spoke about with Florio I think two

weeks ago. Since then, Greg, he's over his last sixteen not coincidentally months what I've said about Jock Peters, not coincidentally when I picked him up and dropped Rum and Loriana, which worked out deals. Winker also garbage. He's betting oh forty two for the season. Another guy I really like car into the air. But it's the law of averages righter.

Winker should turn it around. Winker should because he's not giving him the shot to play every day and lead off for that team, because they know what what what they have and he you know, this is a prospect that Listen doesn't trick doesn't trick out much, you know in the past, at least right not supposed to hits for high average. So you think this guy more like more than likely turn around. You gotta get him out

of your lineup. Peterson. Peterson, I'm right with you. Yeah, you don't leve him in your line but Peterson, until he gets hot, Peterson, I'm with you. Listen, that this is the guy that hits like two thirty less. You hit what two thirties something, So he's not a guy that's gonna hit for high average. You know, he's gonna go into see severe Colt streaks and he's very bad against lefties, so he doesn't again doesn't play against him. So this was a classic, uh first weekend victory lab

Craig that people fell for once again. Scott Peterson not that you look, we're two weeks in. I can't just say, oh, he's automatic bus, but this is who he is. You're gonna have games where, you know, maybe you'll have a multi homer game, and he's gonna had a lot of people excited. Well, maybe this is the year Drop Peterson finally puts it together, all the prospect pedigree, and then he goes over his next six team. Who Drop Peterson is?

At this point, it's been around a while regarding Jesse Winker, normally a guy who makes a ton of contact, Right, how about a twenty seven percent strikeout rate this year, a three point eight percent walk. Great as a leadoff hitter for his team. Jesse Winker bencham, but don't drop him. I wouldn't drop him yet about this. I'm in lasting my great Fantasy base momentational and rightfully so, because for the first week and a half or so, I've had

both Cedric Mullins and Jesse Winker on my lineup. Greg as like my fourth and fifth outfielders. Zero points, nothing, zero garbage. It's a fifty team early league. I'm in last with like thirty points. Real bad, but that's just a bad so. I mean, Mollans, you could drop. I wouldn't drop Winky yet, though I wouldn't do it. Mullins is another leadoff hitter guy. You're just gonna give up. He might give up quicker because look, in a twelve team league, it's fine, like to look, uh, Mullins shouldn't

be on in a twelve team league. This is I'm talking about a fifteen team rotal league. It's hard to come buy outfielders, and there's really not much available. Like the top outfielder's word Hayward and Gordon and Milky Cabrera Like, it's not great, so the replacement value, it's not much better than Cedric Mullins. You probably don't even have a Brinson out there. No, no, he's on, he's yes, one fifteen teamers like it's harder to drop guys like Winker

and Mullins. I agree with you that I would be more likely to drop Mullins than Winker, but I wouldn't want to start either one right now yet be concerned playing enough. That's another huge concerns. Winker has been in the past, like past what five games? Really he's been playing, but he's just been terrible. I thought he also was out. I thought I was checking this earlier in the season. He was out of the lineup. It's been Yeah, he played four or in is two in a row, played

four in a row. Mr, he's played five in the last six games. Yeah, he's been playing terrible. But yeah, wait wait for that. He has one hit. He has one hit all season long. Yeah, dropping Winker, yes, yeah, you know he's got the itchy trigger finger. One hit this season. I know. But it's so early, and he's a guy that they're gonna give a chance to, you know, or they won't because they but this is a guy they you know, they had last year. They're invested into me.

He's a prospect. He's a guy they want in their lineup eventually. I just think he needs time to adjust. I give him another week or two at least before I'm dropping him, but I'm benching him. Greg. Would you drop Winker for Dan Vogelbach? You needed you to play? I'm just running down the list. No, you're right, you're right, and like so, my thought process is always between do you hold on and wait or you take the hot guy? Yes, I'm driving Jesse Winker. No, No, you're not doing that one.

Keep an eye on Yes, how about Kevin Kermeyer, who's played well? No, nor so you seem kind of makeing out of the same way, Like, what do they Matt Modica, what do they? Everybody downstairs as well, Frank and Chris. I'm Gregg see tomorrow, we hope.
